11-04 14:33 - 'DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KRATSCOIN AND BITCOIN' (self.Bitcoin) by /u/xia112 removed from /r/Bitcoin within 3-13min
- The indivisible minimum KRATSCOIN unit is 0.00001 instead of 0.00000001 to denominate realistic currency rates in FOREX. Denomination cannot be determined or dictated by the value of a currency. If KRATSCOIN is valued at USD10,000.00 then the smallest unit of KRATSCOIN at 0.00001 = USD0.10 and nothing smaller than USD0.10 in KRATSCOIN.
Example: If USD1.00 = THB30.00 and the smallest denomination of USD is USD0.10, then a USD0.10 which is THB3.00, is unable to buy a piece of candy at THB1.00. Thus the USD must be converted into a smaller currency of THB in order to buy the THB1.00 candy.
- KRATSCOIN is in-line with standard International Foreign Currency Exchange Practice at indivisible minimum unit 0.00001.
- Each KRATSCOIN is equipped with a 13 digit "SERIAL CODES AND NUMBERS" and there will be a total of 2,100,000,000,000 SERIAL CODES in total.
Example1: 1st KRATSCOIN = AKDJFYRS.00000 Example2: 1st Fraction from 1st KRATSCOIN = AKDJFYRS.00001 Example3: 2nd Fraction from 2nd KRATSCOIN = AKDJFYRS.00002 Example4: Last KRATSCOIN = DLXVZKWR.00000 Example5: 1st Fraction from Last KRATSCOIN = DLXVZKWR.00001 Example6: 2nd Fraction from Last KRATSCOIN = DLXVZKWR.00002
- In Year 2015, Silk Road in DeepWeb utilization of Bitcoin in their transactions amounts to USD1.2billion spanning over 950,000 users. One may argue that Bitcoin is most utilized by the black market, which then maintains its value and worth among other factors. However, the USD1.2bil a year over 950,000 users are far fetch from the Legitimate Users in comparison. Bitcoin transactions runs into USD40.0bil in recent Legitimate Crypto Exchanges. In summary, legitimate transaction of crypto currencies is many times larger use in illegal transactions.
- Fiat Currency is backed by Governments/Countries itself. What determines the value of a currency is the economic health, demand, growth, political stability to name a few, of the respective country. Before 1930, most fiat currencies were backed by gold and silver.
- Since 1971, U.S. citizens have been able to utilize Federal Reserve Notes as the only form of money that for the first time had no currency with any gold or silver backing. This is where you get the saying that U.S. dollars are backed by the "full faith and credit" of the U.S. Government - quoted in
- What backs crypto value is purely supply and demand. The demand creation of a crypto is its sole objective. To create demand, the crypto has to have a purpose. And most purpose commonly promoted is utility. The number of ways you can utilize the said crypto. The more utilization factors the more demand there is for it.
- There are other ways to substantiate value of a crypto and that is to back the crypto with a 1 to 1 ratio in assets or in USD. Then the question is, how 3,000 crypto currencies in circulation be monetary eco sustainable? Can anyone imagine walking into McDonald and view a chart of 3,000 different pricing? Which also means the crypto is a payment gateway pegging against USD instead of bearing any true characteristic of a currency.
- A country's currency is in its own legit form of legal tender, the only currency acceptable under financial sovereigns of a country. People in the world must be made to understand that. Retailers in Thailand cannot put up products price tags in EUROS/USD, it is illegal. It has to be in Thai Baht.
- It is hardly imaginable for everyone in the world to retail with a Crypto-Currencies at a rate of 7 transactions per second. When mining nodes are reduced due to non-performing mining ratio, mining blocks in the Blockchain will significantly be limited too, rendering delays in transactions while usage increases.
- In time to come, as trends of crypto picks up, Thailand can issue BAHT COIN or UK the STERLING COIN, exactly what China wishes to do. Digital RMB, but would such crypto currencies be fully decentralized? We all have our answers. Absurd to even think of producing Thai Baht, Pound Sterling or Chinese Yuan at the cost of electricity. It is currencies in digital forms.
KRATSCOIN is not meant for that purpose. In some opinion, apart from utilization, a crypto can be for safekeeping, an entity for keeping money while allowing easy liquidation, at a click of a mobile button, not to mention sending or transferring without the trouble of going to banks, which was the original purpose of Bitcoin to begin with. Therefore, KRATSCOIN would be better termed as Crypto Commodity, sharing similarities as Metal Commodities.
An individual cannot use gold to make a purchase, neither can one eat gold. It can only be kept or invest in for appreciative value over time. Gold is being exampled for its scarcity which reasons for its higher value over its cousin, silver or bronze. Who or what determines the value of gold? Just like any other crypto, demand by humanity. As in all other commodities, it must also be placed in checks by governments. To put in checks, serial numbers are introduced to protect a country's commodities outflows or illegal exports.
Humanity made Bitcoin a reality. Acceptance by the majority members of the public made Bitcoin to what is it today with the trust they entrusted it with, or is the majority public hopping on the band wagon to make a few quick extra bucks? Whatever the reasons are, the characteristics of Crypto Currencies are only matched by the behavior of Commodities.
SERIALIZED COINS - WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE PUBLIC: Every currency has its own remarkable name, design and colors. Dollars, Euros, Pound, Tugrik, Peso, Rupee, Rupiah, Dina, Ringgit, Baht and the list carries on. One thing every currency have in common - Serial Numbers.
In any crime, investigators will firstly establish motives and mode of operation, both of which are very likely related to money. So following the money trial is a natural thing to do for investigators/authorities and it has become a common practice. Crimes require funding ie robbers need money to buy guns to carry out its robbing activities. Cutting off financing will reduce criminal activities. That's the approach governments of the WORLD have adopted for crime fighting.
Perhaps people do not realize this while most do not feel the pinch. Humanity tends to take life for granted until apocalypse happens. Take a minute to visualize the tallest tower in your homeland collapse into a pile of dust with thousands of casualties effecting everything else that comes to mind. Imagine a family member, just 1 is enough, is among those casualties.
- Imagine if monetary system is not in place and drug dealers, among many, roam the earth freely distributing what can be death threatening substance to your kids. What if you are mugged of your inheritance [items left to you by your father] that is beyond retrieval? As for crypto enthusiast, what if your wallet gets hacked as even the mighty Pentagon gets hacked. All the above can go away if the crypto system leaves a trail for hound dogs to sniff out. Money Trail or Serial Codes Trail to be exact.
- Citizens rely on governments and their countries to do what is best for them to lead their daily lives, flourish, advance, improve and strive but at the same time, citizens want to take away the single most important thing deemed crucial in the hierarchy of humanity from governments with additional boastful remarks such as "I transferred $400 million from one corner of the earth to another corner in a single transaction and no governments can do anything about it".
- In-short, to boast unregulated financial movement is to arrogantly promote crime without realizing it while challenging the world's monetary authority. Oldest advice in the book teaches us never to pick a fight we can't win.
- Serial Coded Coins does not take away the financial movement freedom nor does it take away your privacy. It merely provides Authorities the necessary means needed for crime prevention and fighting. It only re-inforce security and safety. SERIALIZED COINS - WHAT IT MEANS FOR GOVERNMENTS: • Governments are relentlessly trying to find new ways to keep track of crypto transactions. Crypto Currency Exchanges, just like all other Financial Institutions and Banks, are required to practice the most stringent Know Your Customer (widely known as KYC) process.

The University of California at San Diego Energy Dashboard allows users to see up-to-the-second information on a structure-by-structure basis for 60 of the largest buildings on the La Jolla, California, campus. The data is provided by UC San Diego Physical Plant Services from over 200 energy meters providing energy usage at the building level. The portal also features information coming from roughly 40 individual power meters that measure energy consumption in the office, e.g., a computer and monitor drawing power from a single socket. A denser deployment of meters, which would measure and display individuals' energy use, is currently under planning and development.
The Energy Dashboard grew out of a simple premise. "If you cannot measure energy use, you will not be able to make much headway in reducing your energy footprint," said Yuvraj Agarwal, a Research Scientist in the Jacobs School of Engineering's Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) department.
"Energy models of buildings are decades old, and nobody was looking to see if those were still valid," added Agarwal, principal architect of the dashboard. "People tend to think that by shutting off the lights in an office, they've done their part for the environment. In fact, our measurements indicate that personal computers can account for almost 25 percent of energy consumption of a building, and most of the time, these PCs are turned on but are not actually in use. If you also include servers and data centers, the contribution of so-called IT equipment can be a staggering 50 percent of total baseline energy use, because a lot of the energy is used during nights and weekends when utilization for these PCs and servers tends to be very low."
The tools available on the Energy Dashboard include real-time power measurement of the entire UCSD campus; energy consumption for each building; and power usage of individual devices such as PCs and servers that are plugged into electrical sockets in some CSE offices. The campus meters are all viewable by the public, but access to the individual meters is currently restricted to the owner of that meter (for privacy reasons).
The Web portal provides statistics updated at least once every minute on total power consumption, power generation, imports from San Diego Gas & Electric, and a comparison between power usage and production. (UC San Diego produces about 82 percent of its annual energy load using 1.2 megawatts of electricity from photovoltaic panels and a 30-megawatt natural gas-fired co-generation plant.) To locate energy-use data on each building, visitors to the Energy Dashboard can select the UC San Diego School of Medicine, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, or any of the university's six undergraduate colleges.
The new portal grew out of research that took advantage of the CSE building's green features, including four building sub-meters and 16 individual circuit meters installed over the last year. Working with his Ph.D. advisor at that time, Jacobs School of Engineering computer science and engineering professor Rajesh Gupta, Agarwal sifted through the data from the mixed-use CSE building and three others that are typically found on a research university campus: a residence hall, a data center, and a research building with energy-intensive clean rooms for nanofabrication—the Atkinson Hall headquarters of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2).
The researchers were able to identify where peaks in energy consumption came from and the primary components of baseline energy use " including IT's large energy drain even when computers were not in use (e.g., at night or on weekends when the computers are often left on, just in case the user ever wants to connect in remotely or they are running a background application that requires the machine to be powered on).
"Buildings with a large IT footprint can therefore reduce consumption significantly by decreasing their base energy load," concluded Agarwal. "Our ability to look at energy use in fine detail gave us greater insight about how to reduce power consumption significantly in these campus buildings. To do that, you have to create effectively duty-cycled buildings."
Duty-cycling refers to the fraction of time that a computer or telecommunications system is in an "active" state as compared to a low-power "sleep" or an "off" state. The challenge with duty-cycling is lack of availability. To achieve availability even when the system is sleeping, Agarwal effectively created a hybrid active-passive state for power-managed systems. In the case of a building, says Agarwal, computing systems that are not in use could revert to a hybrid active-passive state,' using only one to two percent of their normal power usage, while' still allowing these computer to perform very basic functions and know how to seamlessly wake up whenever needed.
"You want machines that can effectively talk in their sleep and thus stay connected," said Agarwal, only half-jokingly. "If every PC and server could revert to a'sleep-talking' state, the IT equipment would also generate much less heat, and that would translate into further savings on air conditioning and climate-control systems. We estimate that the CSE building energy use could be cut in half."
With support from the campus, CSE and Calit2, Agarwal and his colleagues in the Microelectronic Embedded Systems Laboratory are working to prove that estimate by enabling this "hybrid sleep" option for desktop PCs and servers across the CSE department as a pilot deployment. To enable this functionality, a few participants in the study are using Somniloquy, a dedicated USB hardware dongle that was previously developed by Agarwal and his colleagues. Furthermore, a significant number of users are now employing "SleepServer," a software-only version of the energy-saving architecture developed recently by Agarwal, who is scheduled to present a paper on the technology in Boston at the 2010 USENIX Annual Technical Conference in June.
To improve the value of data in the UC San Diego Energy Dashboard, they are also working with a private company on a less expensive plug-level meter. Today individual meters that can monitor energy use remotely cost approximately $200 each; Agarwal thinks that if they can get that price down to the $30 to $50 range, individuals wanting to track their own carbon footprint will be happy to invest in a meter that would transmit its real-time data to the Energy Dashboard, where the user would be able to use the portal's tools to track their own usage " and even compare it to the energy profile of a colleague in the next office. "Working with a set of very creative and intelligent students, and leveraging their talent to address some of the energy issues of today, is also immensely satisfying since it feels like you are solving a real-world problem in the end," said Agarwal. Among the graduate students working on the Energy Dashboard project is Ph.D. student Thomas Weng, a coauthor on the November 2009 First ACM Workshop on Embedded Sensing Systems For Energy-Efficiency In Buildings paper The Energy Dashboard: Improving the Visibility of Energy Consumption at a Campus-Wide Scale with Agarwal and Gupta.
According to Agarwal, his group is now working on an Energy Dashboard API that will make it possible for anyone at UC San Diego to integrate their own power meter into the dashboard and take advantage of its visualization and comparison features. In the longer term, the researchers are looking into ways to release the API to the larger community, outside of UC San Diego, such that anyone with the appropriate energy meters can post, visualize, and compare their energy use data on an externally available Energy Dashboard.

Clients of HTTP services can specify the version (and format) they understand by requesting or posting data with a specific content type. The HTTP protocol defines error codes for reporting that the content type is not understood.
Messaging systems (e.g. JMS, MQ Series and the like) do not have a standard way of describing message protocol versions and content formats.
How have you implemented versioning for services accessed over reliable, asynchronous messaging?
Some possibilities:
 - The sender indicates the version as a message property
 - Queue or Topic names include the protocol version of the messages accepted at that destination
 - The version is in the payload of the message
I'm sure there are other ways. How did you do it? What advantages and disadvantages did you find?
share|improve this question
1 Answer 1
One advantage for specifying the version outside of payloads is that it can be easier to figure out which bit of code can cope with the payload. It also allows you to radically change the payload contents with new versions. It can also make it easier to route messages.
Overall I don't think there is a right or wrong answer here, all the options you specified can be worked with, and your favourite messaging bus may have a "best practice" that you should follow.

I agree there's no right or wrong answer. Neither is there such a thing as a "best practice". That's why I asked for concrete experience. So, what mechanism did you use? In what context? What worked well? What problems did you encounter? – Nat Jun 18 '09 at 21:31

Building better recommendation systems
Researchers from University of Amsterdam (UvA) and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) are teaming up with data scientists at to improve recommendation systems.
The collaboration at the Mercury Machine Learning Lab at Amsterdam's Innovation Center for Artificial Intelligence (ICAI) is a test of AI techniques in the real world, so that new machine learning methods can be safely developed for wider application, for example in mobility, energy and healthcare.
Currently customers' taps, clicks and scrolling through search results lead to recommendations based on what previous travellers have chosen and experienced. Machine learning techniques are well suited to learning such connections and preferences, especially when there is a wealth of data available.
However, these connections and preferences found in the data are not only informed by the choices other travellers have made, but also by the suggestions and selections the system showed them. This tends to skew the process, resulting in a bias in the recommendations travellers receive.
This new collaboration will aim to attempt to remove this bias, so recommendations remain accurate in a new or different context, whereby the handling of data in a safe and ethical way remains the top priority.
Joris Mooij, scientific director of the Mercury Machine Learning Lab at UvA, said: "It's a huge opportunity for us as researchers to have access to a live dataset of global data and be able to experiment on's platform."
Matthijs Spaan, one of the scientific directors from TU Delft, added: "The lab's focus on developing better algorithms for recommender systems is highly relevant to our society as these systems guide many of our digital interactions. By addressing fundamental AI challenges, the results of the lab will also be valuable in other domains."
Technology and talent development
The ICAI has launched several public-private collaborations aimed at technology and talent development in AI. One lab is working with the Netherlands Forensic Institute to use AI to detect deepfakes made by criminals.
Thanks to such initiatives, Amsterdam is well on its way to being a world-leader in AI and machine learning. The city is an established "living lab" for AI solutions, and programmes such as AI Technology for People ensure innovations deployed in the city truly improve citizens' lives.

How Luer and Other Small-Bore Connectors are Used in Clinical Settings
Small-bore connectors are parts used to connect medical devices to tubing and accessories that deliver fluids and gases to patients. Small-bore refers to the small size of the opening of the connector.
One of the most commonly used small-bore connectors are Luer connectors—sometimes called Luer fittings or Luers.
There are two types of Luer connectors: slips and locks. In general, a Luer consists of a tapered "male" tip and wider-tapered "female" sleeve that either slide into one another (a Luer slip) or screw together (a Luer lock) to form a secure, yet detachable, leak-proof connection.

Examples of Medical Devices that Use Connectors
Many different types of medical devices use small-bore connectors including:
- Blood pressure cuffs and other non-invasive blood pressure devices
- Breathing systems such as anesthesia machines and ventilators
- Enteral feeding tubes that deliver liquid nutrients or medicine to the stomach
- Intravenous devices such as intravenous (IV) lines used to deliver nutritional formulas and medicines
- Neuraxial devices, such as epidural catheters, used to deliver medicines to the epidural space
- Urinary tubing, such as catheters, used to empty the bladder
- Vascular access devices used to obtain blood or monitor blood pressure, gas levels and chemical balances inside a patient's body

Only 300 Delacour's langurs remain; majority likely to die by 2014
August 26, 2004 (Torino, Italy) – The Delacour's langur (Trachypithecus delacouri), a charismatic monkey found only in a tiny area of northern Vietnam, is close to extinction, scientists at the International Primatological Society's 20th Congress reported today. New research suggests that as many as 200 of the remaining 300 individuals, one of the most threatened primates in the world, are likely to disappear within the next decade.
Scientists estimate that between 281 and 317 individuals still exist in 19 distinct populations. Rampant development separates the remaining populations of this langur species, preventing the groups from interacting with one another. Fourteen of the groups are likely to disappear within the next decade, since they either lack a breeding pair or have unsustainably tiny populations. When hunters kill a male critical for reproduction, for example, it spells annihilation for the entire group.
Delacour's langur is threatened mostly from hunting. Poachers kill the animal not only for meat, but for bones, organs and tissues that are used in the preparation of traditional medicines. Habitat destruction, development and the increase of agricultural lands also threaten the species.
Surprisingly, the monkeys are more likely to be killed within protected areas, since they are more densely forested and poachers are more difficult to spot. Since unprotected areas in northern Vietnam tend to have less wildlife, poachers often avoid them and regard them as less profitable, allowing the few remaining langur populations to survive. Conservation groups are working to increase the level of protection of the protected areas to ensure the survival of the species.
The Delacour's langur is so rare, that is was first described by science only in 1932. Until the late 1980s, there was virtually no information about the existence and distribution of the species. In the early 1990s, hundreds of the langurs were found on limestone mountain ranges in a small area in northern Vietnam that comprises an area of only 5,000 square kilometers.
The langur is distinguished from other largely black-colored Asian langurs due to its white cheek bands, large white saddle on its outer thighs, and its thickly furred tail.
"At the rate that Delacour's langur is disappearing, it is unlikely that future generations will ever know this species outside of history books," said Tilo Nadler, Vietnam Country Representative for the Frankfurt Zoological Society. "Still, we have a limited window of opportunity to save them, and we hope the international community will rally around this incredible monkey."
Conservation efforts to protect Delacour's langur are centered in two national reserves in northern Vietnam. In Van Long National Reserve, created three years ago, approximately 70 individuals remain in three separate populations. Five ranger stations with 20 rangers have been created in an effort to improve management of the area, largely funded by the Frankfurt Zoological Society.
In the other protected area, Pu Luong National Reserve, a larger number of rangers and excellent management are helping to save the two small remaining populations, containing a total of about 50 individuals. Joining the two subpopulations, however, is impossible due to the increasing amount of agricultural space that divides them.
"Delacour's langur is one of the most Critically Endangered primates in the world, and its status is indicative of what is happening with about 10 percent of the nonhuman primates, our closest living relatives. We don't have a lot time to reverse this situation, but there is some good news," said Russell A. Mittermeier, president of Conservation International. "Recent new commitments by the Vietnamese government and several international conservation organizations greatly increase the chances of saving this remarkable species."

Sustainability of water resources development for Malawi with particular emphasis on North and Central Malawi.
PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.
Full text available as:
The world population regardless of location and development stage needs energy and water. According to the United Nations, the present world population stands at about 6.7 billion with an average annual growth rate of 1.3%. Population increase calls for increased allocation of water for domestic use, agriculture and industrial use. The increased water allocation among different sectors has always resulted in conflicts among users, and stress on freshwater environment. Therefore it is essential that water resources be developed in a sustainable manner to accommodate future generations to meet their water needs. In recent years studies regarding stress on water resources due to population increase have always been done without considering the effect of climate change while studies on the effect of climate change on river flows have always ignored the effect of population increase.
An assessment of the sustainability of the water resources primarily of the Central and Northern highland river basins of Malawi is presented in this thesis based on basin hydrology, human health, environment and climate change. A complete hydrological data set is not readily available in developing countries like Malawi. That being the case, a method of estimating missing data in hydrological data records has been presented. Climate change predictions have been done based on United Kingdom (UK) Meteorological Office Hadley Centre HadCM3 experiments. All the river basins in the Central and Northern part of Malawi drain into Lake Malawi. Lake Malawi plays a major role in the provision of energy for the country and water supply to the southern part of Malawi through its outlet Shire river. Planning of alternative water resources schemes on river basins in the northern part of Malawi needs an assessment of the hydrological behaviour of the lake. In view of this, the report further explores the sustainability of water levels of Lake Malawi based on generated climate scenarios.
A method of extending river flow records based on climate scenario is presented. In the proposed method a simple rainfall runoff model of Linear Perturbation Model has been used to extend flow records with inputs from HadCM3 experiments. The results showed a good correlation between predicted and observed series. Climate change prediction downscaled from HadCM3 general circulation models using statistical techniques were used to create 25 year river flow scenarios from 2001 to 2100.
The thesis further reports a method of extending evaporation data based on climate change prediction since evaporation plays a major role in the development of irrigation. The future evaporation scenarios have been incorporated in the water balance model of Lake Malawi for the assessment of sustainability and future water levels of the lake.
A method of formulating water resources sustainability index through the integration of knowledge from hydrology, human health and environment is presented. The Water Sustainability Index has been developed as a tool for assessment of multipurpose water resources development comparing one river basin with another in a sustainable manner.
In conclusion the method proposed in this thesis can be used as a tool for assessing the strategic sustainability of water resources development as planned under the Malawi National Water Development Programme (MNWDP) phase II. The goal of MNWDP II is to develop a water resources investment strategy for Malawi by looking at the current available water resources and the impact of developing these water resources. Although it is hoped that the methods can be of benefit under MNWDP II, investigations into other techniques would be beneficial.

How it Began
In 1986, the U.S. Congress passed the Anti-Drug and Alcohol Abuse Act.
Among other things, the act authorized the funding of juvenile
detention and shelter care facilities on reservations to implement
Section 4220 of the act. The Bureau of Indian Affairs then requested
applications for detention funding from interested tribes and nations.
The Sac and Fox submitted their application in 1989 and were the first
of thirty-one other applicants.
In 1990, they began planning the Juvenile Detention Center using the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Planning of New Institutions (PONI) process. This was a participatory process involving the users of the new facility, with consultants assessing their needs and developing a course of action. The PONI team consisted of Nation staff from various departments. A needs assessment was conducted and 1991 a validation study specified the needs of the Sac and Fox Nation, but also outlined the potential to develop a regional Native American Juvenile Center.
A Pre-Architectural Program resulted in a study of the needs and mission as it related to the physical plant. This study served as the basis for the new facility design. An architectual firm with experience designing juvenile facilities was found and the design was completed in the spring of 1994. The design resulted in a sixty bed facility with six intake beds. Construction began shortly after and was completed in the winter of 1996. The Juvenile Detention Center opened in January, 1997.
The Sac and Fox Nation is committed to providing a truly regional facility to meet the needs of Tribes and Nations in Oklahoma as well as those located outside Oklahoma. Not only do we serve juveniles from Indian Country, but we also serve juveniles who are placed in beds contracted by the Oklahoma Office of Juvenile Affairs.

One of the problems sometimes that crops up when using the Japanese naming system is a character will end up with many name spellings.
Why does this happen?Edit
Well, for one Eiichiro Oda does not always supply the correct spelling of a name in English text, in some cases you only see it written in the Japanese text. Sometimes when he does supply the name he will use several variations of the spelling, such as the One Piece money, which has been called both 'Belly' and 'Berry' by Oda. Oda also does not speak English and therefore may occasionally make mistakes himself.
Translators of the raw Japanese manga will often attempt to spell the name, problem is there are sometimes problems with translating from Japanese to English. A good translator will recognise certain Japanese text, such as 'Emiri' are actually how the Japanese are trying to spell the name 'Emily'. A not so good one will take a guess at what they think the name means. Some will take the Japanese text literally as the name without realising it may be the Japanese ways of spelling a non-Japanese word. So 'Emiri' will be translated literally as 'Emiri'.
Usually, most mistranslations are cleared up when the anime airs as the correct pronunciation is revealed. This results in fans of the Japanese version being able to hear clearly for the first time what the name is. However even this is not without problems. Some names sound very close to Japanese words such as 'Chew' sounds like 'Chuu', resulting in more name related errors. Others led to further mistranslations or spelling because of how the Japanese speakers pronounce certain words (example; 'Lice' may end up sounding like 'Rice'). Mostly anime related misspellings are usually made by fan-subbers subbing the series from the Japanese version. Followers of the Fan-sub will then copy, but this is not always the case.
Many spelling mistakes and misnames can be considered no different to art errors made by anime producers when mangaka have yet to produce the actual colours for the character.
Sources for Name ProofEdit
 - Names that appear in the Manga.
 - Names revealed in a SBS
 - Names revealed by the Data Books
 - In the case of Filler characters, if their name is even revealed in the episode/movie/game in Latin text, use that.
 - Shounen Jump magazine itself as a source. There have been reports of mistakes made in the past and confusions with character polls.
 - Merchandise based names, these have been noted to use incorrect names in the past (and even misspellings).
 - Game spellings. Examples exist such as "Flanky" and "Lobin" when the correct names should have been "Franky" and "Robin".
 - Anime spellings. Notably even well estalished names can end up being mispelt (Example; during the Water 7 arc "Nico Robines" can be seen on a wanted poster instead of "Nico Robin").
What examples are there?Edit
There are several, like the following:
 - Jaguar D. Saul; also sometimes is written as Hagawa D. Saulo, Jagaur D. Saulo. As of yet there has been no release of his name in anything but Japanese text.
 - Bon Kurei; Because of how his name sounded in the anime, was known as Bon Clay until his wanted poster revealed his correct name in the manga. Some fans still choose to use "Bon Clay" as it is the name they know him by the most.
 - Chew; In the databook One Piece Red: Grand Characters his name is written as "Chew", however most fans say the similar Japanese word "Chuu" is his name.
For more examples see Name Variants.
How do we Handle this?Edit
Until a English text version of a name is revealed, here on Wikia the most popular version of the name will most likely end up being used. After the true spelling is revealed, if that is incorrect, there will be a redirect set up on the page. All information on the page will be transferred to the correct entries name.
If all else fails, the last thing to use is an English dub version. However, this causes problems. See Japanese Vs English names for more details.

A university in the Czech Republic has done a study on almost 2,000 dogs on how they interact with one another while on walks.
They found that the gender of the owner doing the walking was a very large factor in aggression towards other dogs.
When a male was walking the dog on a leash, the dog was hour times more likely to be aggressive.
Another interesting result is that when the dog was walked without a leash they were only half as likely to be aggressive, compared to dogs that were on a leash.
The researchers believe the on leash dogs were frosted with their inability to circle around the other dogs and sniff them, in the customary canine greeting.
This led the dogs to be unable to tell if the other dog was friendly or not, so they took a more defensive approach to the unknown and would be more likely to act aggressively.
The researchers suggest that the dog is very sensitive to the deposition of the walker.
So keep a calm, assertive energy on your walk and your dog will pick up on it too. Greet other walks to let your dog know there is nothing to worry about.
Then everyone will have an enjoyable walk! So get out there and get some exercise.

Best answer
It can be observed that radius (r) of the cylindrical part and the hemispherical part is the same (i.e., 7 cm).
Height of hemispherical part = Radius = 7 cm
Height of cylindrical part (h) = 13 −7 = 6 cm
Inner surface area of the vessel = CSA of cylindrical part + CSA of hemispherical part
= 2 πrh + 2π r2
Inner surface area of vessel
= 2 x 22/7 x 7 x 6 +2 x 22/7 x 7
= 44(6+7)
= 44 x 13
= 572 cm2

What Constitutes Manslaughter in Arizona?
Manslaughter is an offense in Arizona that can refer to several different crimes involving the death of the victim. Most states classify manslaughter as either voluntary or involuntary. Arizona, however, classifies it as manslaughter vs. negligent homicide. If you have additional questions about what is considered manslaughter under Arizona law, speak with a knowledgeable Tempe manslaughter lawyer at the law office of AZ Defenders.
Manslaughter requires proof that the defendant's actions reached the point of recklessness or a gross deviation from the accepted standards of care for the situation. Arizona Revised Statute 13-1103 lists five main offenses that constitute the crime of manslaughter.
 1. Recklessly causing someone else's death.
 2. Intentionally or knowingly killing someone in the heat of an argument or fight.
 3. Intentionally helping someone commit suicide.
 4. Intentionally or knowingly killing someone due to coercion through the use of unlawful deadly force.
 5. Recklessly or intentionally killing a mother's unborn child.
Proving manslaughter requires the prosecution to demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that someone died due to the defendant's gross deviation from the duty of care or taking a substantial and unjustifiable risk.
Negligent Homicide
Negligent homicide is a death caused by an act of criminal negligence. This is the failure to perceive the substantial risk that an action or omission will have on others. This type of case requires proof that a reasonable person would not have taken the same risk.
Penalties for Manslaughter in Arizona
The possible penalties for a first offense manslaughter charge in Arizona (a class 2 felony) are a minimum of 7 years in prison, with a presumptive sentence of 10.5 years, up to 21 years. With a prior dangerous felony conviction, the prison time ranges from 14 to 28 years. With two priors, it increases to 21 to 35 years.
Penalties for Negligent Homicide in Arizona
Negligent homicide is a class 4 felony if the defendant did not use a dangerous or deadly weapon. This offense comes with a penalty of up to one year in prison. This crime is a class 4 dangerous felony if it involves the use of a dangerous instrument or deadly weapon, punishable with a minimum of four years (up to eight years) in prison.
Defenses to Manslaughter
The most common defense to a manslaughter charge is a supervening cause. This means that something other than the defendant's actions caused the victim's death. Even if you were negligent or reckless, the supervening cause defense alleges that you are not responsible for the victim's death because something else caused it.
Defenses to Negligent Homicide
A defense for negligent homicide could be that the defendant did not understand his or her behavior could result in harm to others. The defendant might not have realized that his or her actions were a gross deviation from the standards of care. Other defenses could include constitutional violations, coercion, entrapment or lack of evidence.

From Wikipedia's article on JSON
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL? That doesn't make any sense! It's just a regular object literal, how can that be a SyntaxError?
Try the same code in a proper JSON parser. No problems at all.
Of course it's not just a regular object literal. There's a sneaky little Unicode character in there too: Right between "ro" and "cks!" there's a tiny U+2028. Your browser probably doesn't display it because it's whitespace: LINE SEPARATOR, but it's still there. If you replace the character with a U+2029 (PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR) you would have the exact same issue.
JSON + U+2028 = ☺
According to the JSON specification, you can safely use this character in any string. It's not a quote, not a backslash, and not a control character. It's just a weird Unicode whitespace character:
DoubleStringCharacter :: SourceCharacter but not double-quote " or backslash \ or LineTerminator \ EscapeSequence SingleStringCharacter :: SourceCharacter but not single-quote'or backslash \ or LineTerminator \ EscapeSequence
And what is a line terminator? Let's have a look at 7.3 Line Terminators:
The following characters are consider to be line terminators:
\u000ALine Feed
\u000DCarriage Return
\u2028- Line separator
\u2029- Paragraph separator
In most applications, you won't notice this issue. First of all, the line separator and the paragraph separator aren't exactly widely used. Secondly, any proper JSON parser will have no problems with parsing it.
Luckily, the solution is simple: If we look at the JSON specification we see that the only place where a U+2028 or U+2029 can occur is in a string. Therefore we can simply replace every U+2028 with
\u2028 (the escape sequence) and U+2029 with
\u2029 whenever we need to send out some JSONP.
It's already been fixed in Rack::JSONP and I encourage all frameworks or libraries that send out JSONP to do the same. It's a one-line patch in most languages and the result is still 100% valid JSON.

How to sue someone in the digital age when you don't know where they live.
In every lawsuit the Plaintiff has the obligation to notify all defendants that they are being sued. When a lawsuit is filed the court issues a summons which must be served (usually with a complaint) on every defendant. Massachusetts and probably all other states prefer that the person be served in hand or at least by leaving documents at their home. What happens if you don't know where they live or work? How do you serve them?
Every state has laws that allow a substitute form of service of documents on a person who can't be located. In Massachusetts, a motion must be filed to serve by an alternate form of service. If nothing else works, the court can order service by publishing in a newspaper. Of course, most people don't read the legal notices in newspapers so service by publication usually results in no notice at all but would be satisfactory to a court. In Massachusetts, the courts prefer that a different form of notification be used. Massachusetts courts now require detailed affidavits explaining how the Plaintiff searched for a Defendant including details of searches on the internet. As one clerk told me internet searches are required unless the Defendant's name is Smith.
A search for a missing Defendant should start with a search for a telephone number. A telephone information request with the telephone company is generally a first step. If this doesn't work, a similar search on the internet using multiple search engines (Google, Bing, etc.) should be made. If the person has a driver's license or professional license then the state data banks may show a current address for the person. All of these search methods may show a residence for a missing Defendant. A lawyer can request confirmation of addresses or forwarding address information from the post office. A non-lawyer probably would need a court order authorizing the post office to provide this information from the post office.
If, after using all of the methods just described, the person still can't be located, then social media should be searched. There are too many social media sites to search them all. At a minimum, Facebook, Linkedin, Instagram, and GooglePlus should be searched. If a social media page is located for the individual then print the contents of the page. A judge may need information that the person currently uses the social media site.
If after all of these methods, the person still can't be found, try to locate a close relative: parent, child, ex-spouse, or sibling. These people may be in contact with the person and may be used for service.
After all methods to research have been used and if you still don't have a work or residential address, then file a motion with the court for alternate service. In Massachusetts, and probably other states, the judge will want to use the best method of service that is calculated to actually reach the Defendant. Service can be made by email, text messaging, messaging through social media, or by relatives. The motion should be accompanied by a detailed affidavit showing all of the internet research and any relevant web pages.
If after all of these steps, the person can't be located, service by publication may be approved by a judge. Service by publication is expensive and usually ineffectual. However, it may be the only method available. Alternate service can be complicated for individuals. A local attorney can guide you through the process and help you locate your defendant.

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month
By presidential proclamation, October was declared to be National Violence Awareness Month. Nobody should be subject to domestic violence. If you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship you need to get help. You can get information about domestic abuse from the Frequently Asked Questions about abuse at my web site. You can talk to an attorney or even call the police. Understanding your options may help you take steps to protect yourself. The courts can issue restraining orders to protect against violence and, in certain circumstances, can make orders of child custody and support. If you are in an abusive situation there are people and services who can help you.

You can commit criminal acts by owning or using surveillance and security systems.
The cost of home security and surveillance systems has decreased so that now everybody can afford a system. Internet providers offer home security systems. Some people use hidden cameras like nanny cams to keep an eye on babysitters. The news contains stories of people who use home security systems to catch burglers in the act. While such security systesm have many benefits they can also cause people to commit criminal acts.
Most states have laws that prohibit recording of voice communications without permission or a court order. These are generally called wiretapping laws. While we usually think of wiretapping as meaning telephone calls the laws are usually written broadly to cover all voice communications. Some states allow recording of such conversations if one person to the conversation gives permission. Other states, including Massachusetts, require all parties to the conversation to grant permission before the conversation can be recorded. Recording a conversation without permission is a crime in most states. In Massachusetts, making an unathorized voice recording is a felony. This means that making a recording of a person's voice without their permission can result in person being sentenced to imprisonment in the state prison. The Massachusetts wiretapping law goes even further and makes it a crime to possess hidden equipment that is capable of making voice recordings. Mass.Gen.L. c. 272, § 99.
Hidden cameras as part of a home or office security system do not violate any laws. However, microphones are probably not lawful as they can record voices. Merely having microphones as part of a home security system can result in a criminal conviction. Of course, you can have microphones as part of the security system as long as you obtain permission from the person you are recording. You may be able to have the equivalent of permission by using signs that disclose the recordings. Such disclosures would probably defeat the purpose of having the microphones in the first place but would be adequate to prevent commission of a crime.
If you own or want to purchase a security system you should consult an attorney to find out what is permitted for recordings in your state.

Prepare for a divorce—create a household inventory
In most cases, people anticipate a divorce before it happens. While some actions taken before a divorce can receive an adverse reaction from a spouse, creating an inventory should not. Creating an inventory can be helpful in case you suffer an insurance loss such as fire, theft, or flood. An inventory can also be helpful in a divorce.
In a divorce the two spouses will have to divide the household belongings. Sometimes this occurs leisurely and sometimes in a rush. An inventory will make a split easier. If a court issues an order removing one party from the house having an inventory will make it easier for that person to receive a fair distribution of the household assets. If you are dividing items from memory you are likely to forget items that you care about.
Another benefit of having a household inventory is to reduce the potential for items to disappear. After a person who is out of the house takes their initial list of items it is much more difficult to obtain items from the house. That book that you received from your grandmother is likely to be thrown out if you don't retrieve it in the initial group of items. With digital photography you can incorporate photographs into your inventory. By having a list you can designate items to retrieve later and avoid having them thrown out or sold.
The earlier you start the inventory the better off you are. It is also helpful to consult an experienceddivorce lawyer as early as possible. Both an inventory and a divorce lawyer can help you work through the difficult times created by a divorce.

Massachusetts stores can't impose shoplifting fines without a court order
Judge Douglas Stoddard, a District Court Judge in Natick, Mass. has enjoined Macy's from demanding that shoplifters pay a $500.00 civil fine to Macy's when they are caught by the store. Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 231, Section 85R-1/2 states that shoplifters "... shall be liable in tort to the merchant for damages for not less than fifty nor more than five hundred dollars..." Many stores claim that this law means that a shoplifter owes the store $500.00 if they are caught by the store. The stores are wrong. The law means that if the store sues shoplifters in court a judge may award civil damages of up to $500.00. Macy's has no right to collect $500.00 until after a Judge awarded them damages.
Macy's had a practice of detaining shoplifters and telling them that "if they paid the $500 fine, they would not be civilly sued in court and some said they were told they would not be arrested." In some cases, people paid the $500.00 and were then turned over to the police who arrested them. When the cases came before Natick District Court, Judge Stoddard learned of the practices of the store and issued an injunction against the store.The Judge stated "I'm not sure if I have the legal authority to do what I'm doing, but I believe I do have the power to right what's wrong. I don't think I'm asking for much."
What Macy's was doing was not only wrong, it was criminal. Massachusetts is a common law state. This means that crimes exist that were created by English judges before the American Revolution. Some of these

use handheld computers and similar tools during field experiences until they enroll in upper-division courses or attend field camp. Although many outdoor exercises in introductory-level courses include demonstrations of pieces of equipment in the field, students in these classes may not have a chance to use these equipment individually. However, handheld technology can be successfully integrated with introductory-level field experiences as a data collection tool and reference guide.
Palm Pilot handheld computers offer each student the opportunity to become actively involved in the field experience. Forms can be created and tailored to a specific outdoor investigation and placed on the Palms for students to collect data. Instructors can create instructional videos and eBooks with references on the Palms that correspond to the project objective.
For two years Penn State Delaware County has integrated handheld technology with field experiences into introductory-level geoscience courses in physical geology and oceanography. In addition to giving students a valuable introduction to technology that can be used in the field, the experience gives non-science majors a chance to see an application of an everyday technological tool in a nontraditional setting. End-of-semester course evaluations are filled with positive comments and student suggestions of further Palm Pilot integration.

Using Field-Camp Experiences to Develop a Multidisciplinary Foundation for Petroleum Engineering Students
Donna S. Anderson and Jennifer L. Miskimins, Colorado School of Mines
A petroleum-engineering geology field camp in existence for over 50 years has evolved to reflect the goal of developing a multidisciplinary foundation, or shared cognitive interface, with other geoscience disciplines. Five learning objectives form a framework for a series of progressively complex exercises. Students make geologic field maps, measure sections, record notes, create field sketches, and link outcrop to the subsurface through a series of complementary daily field activities. Field experiences create tangible links and mental images for comprehending the subsurface.
Orienting the field activities toward the ultimate goal of developing a shared cognitive interface helps us overcome challenges that include dislike of geology and inexperience with the outdoors, teaching iterative and relational thought processes, and creating linkages to promote retention of material. Varying the physical and content pace of the course helps keep the non-geology audience engaged. Sequential field activities use technology to iteratively analyze the same problem. Daily journals supplemented by activity reports and exams promote assessment of content and teaching effectiveness. Asking open-ended questions in activity reports is most effective for assessing relational thinking. In the long-term, effective assessment comes from observations in a succeeding multidisciplinary design course.

Understanding and using the.sdcard format
One very useful feature enabled by default in both the Yocto Communiy BSP and Release BSP is the option of generating the baked images in.sdcard format.
If the.sdcard format is not selected by default it can be enabled on the conf/local.conf file by adding it with the IMAGE_FSTYPES as follow:
It's important to note that if this variable is specified only the file systems typed defined will be created. The default value used most often for this variable is:
IMAGE_FSTYPES="tar.bz2 ext3 sdcard"
The.sdcard format creates an image with all necessary partitions and loads the bootloader, kernel and rootfs to this image. You can just low level copy the data on this file to the SD card device using dd as on the following command example:
$ sudo dd if=.sdcard of=/dev/sd bs=1M && sync
Partitions used on the.sdcard file
The.sdcard partitions looks as follow:
Unpartitioned space reserved for the bootloader
Kernerl and other data
Granting more free space on the RootFS partition
The size of the.sdcard file will depend solely on the size of the rootfs. This means that the resulting file won't partition all our SD Card capacity unless we add extra space to the rootfs partition. (Of course there is always the option of editing the partitions once loaded on the SD Card)
In order to add more space you may use the IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE variable. You may add it to your local.conf file with the added free disk space in Kbytes. For example, if you would like to guarantee 1GB of extra space you may add the following line to your local.conf file.
IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE = "_PHONE_"
It is important to note that this is space additional to the IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR variable which defines a multiplier that is applied to the initial image size. This is only applied when the multiplier times the
By default, the build process uses a multiplier of 1.3 for this variable. This default value results in 30% free disk space added to the image when this method is used to determine the final generated image size. This would mean that there should be 30% of free disk space before post install scripts. If you wish for more space you may edit this variable as bellow:
IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR = "1.5"
Which would result in 50% free disk space added to the image, before post install scripts and without considering overhead that may come from the package management system.
How the IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE is calculated
This variable is also measured in Kbytes and it's determined by the OpenEmbedded build system using an algorithm that considers the initial disk space used for the generated image, the requested size for the image (trough the overhead factor) and the additional free space to be added to the image (trough the extra space variable).
The build system first runs a du (disk usage) command to determine the size of the rootfs directory tree. If the IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE current value is larger than the disk usage times the overhead factor only the extra space is added. If the IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE is smaller than the disk usage times the overhead factor then the disk usage is multiplied times the overhead factor prior to adding the extra space.
IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE must be set on a default value which is usually very low as it's just initialized and updated with the actual size requirements each time an image is baked.
You may also use this variable directly in order to select the space you would like to allocate to the RootFS.For example setting the RootFS to 2GB would require the following addition to the local.conf file:
IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE = "_PHONE_"
IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR = "1.0"
In this example we would leave the overhead factor to 1 so no extra space is added since we're specifying the rootfs size that we want.

Interleaving the binary encodings of the two numbers a and b seems to be the best solution:
For example the encoding of
a = 20d = 10100b
b = 5d = 101b
We interleave the bits starting with the least significant bits (we pad shorter numbers with 0's so they are the same length).
The two original numbers resulting paired number is 0100110010b = 306d
This pairing function can be easily decoded in computed and reversed by a constant time.depth (see _URL_ depth 1?) circuit and so is in FAC0.

Complete glass frame dropping glue to meet various needs
writer：点胶设备 time：2019-03-13 14:19 clicks：
Non-uniformity of glue coating is a bad phenomenon in the process of dispensing. It is manifested in the lack of glue or excessive glue on the surface of the product. The problem of poor glue coating needs to be solved and avoided by electronic buzzer dispensing. Controlling the non-uniformity of glue coating at 502 points is related to the disposition of the coating pressure drum and the durability of the replacement ring inside the valve. Check and find out the reasons. Setting about the solution is the guiding direction. This time, we will deeply analyze the causes and solutions of the uneven coating.
Glue Coating Line for Reflector Box
Glue coating effect caused by fittings
Various sizes of paint control valves and paint pressure barrels can be assembled when dispensing with dispensing equipment. Pressure barrels are mainly used to store large volumes of rubber and convey glue through pneumatic drive. They can store and transport medium and high viscosity fluids to provide dispensing. The problem of non-uniform dispensing may be related to the internal conveying pressure. Middle and low viscosity fluids use top dispensing to produce high viscosity glue. Water through the bottom of the gum, the need for high pressure delivery, when the pressure of the paint barrel is insufficient to drive the glue is poor, so the part used for gum coating often appears the problem of lack of gum or less gum sometimes more gum, which directly affects the application effect of commonly used glue products such as 502 gum, and most of the impact on the dispensing of buzzer is therefore uneven, of course, as well as Check and replace the built-in parts of rubber valves such as sealing rings.
The sealing ring in the rubber valve is used to prevent the leakage of glue in the rubber valve. Some glue will leak out during the 502-point glue conveying process. The function of the sealing ring is to prevent the leakage of glue. The unstable glue conveying causes the problems of uneven glue coating and lack of glue. It is often checked that replacing the sealing ring can prevent the leakage of glue and lead to the uneven glue coating of the product.
Single-station automatic dispensing machine
Demand for dispensing buzzer
Because the structure of electronic buzzer is generally small and delicate, it is necessary to control the amount of 502-point glue coating within a certain range and use high-precision filling technology to ensure that the yield of good products reaches the standard. Through the inspection procedures and the performance of fittings to replace the sealing ring and other stability, to ensure that the batch production of buzzer dispensing meets the requirements and prevent the impact of uneven glue coating.

Following last week's announcement that writer Alain de Botton plans to build a series of temples for atheists, here are some more images of the first structure planned for the City of London.
Each centimetre of the hollow stone tower's 46 metre height will represent a million years of the earth's existence so far, while a millimetre-thick band of gold around the base will denote how long humans have been part of that history.
Images of the Temple to Perspective and other temples designed by architects Tom Greenall and Jordan Hodgson are included in de Botton's latest book, Religion for Atheists - find out more in our earlier Dezeen Wire.
Since we announced news of the proposals last week, Guardian critic Steve Rose has described them as unlikely to "convince any religious adherent to cross over", while Dezeen readers found them "beautiful", "perplexing" and "a waste of time" in equal measures - join the debate here.
Here's some more text from Tom Greenall:
Temple to Perspective
Standing 46-metres tall and in the heart of the City of London, the temple represents the entire history of life on earth: each centimetre of its height equates to one million years of life. One metre from the ground, a single line of gold - no more than a millimetre thick - represents the entire existence of humankind. A visit to the temple is intended to leave one with a renewed sense of perspective.

Tuesday, November 2, 2010: 9:00 AM
Hyatt Regency Long Beach, Seaview Ballroom C, First Floor
Soil phosphorus (P) loss has been historically believed through pathways of surface runoff and erosion. However, recent studies have increasingly evidenced that sub-surface runoff or title drainage can account for 22 to 98% of the total soil P loss. Partition of soil P loss between tile drainage and surface runoff is a function of tile spacing, but the optimum tile spacing can vary with soil types. Particular P often plays an important role in soil P loss in tile drainage water, followed by the dissolved reactive P. Variation of P loss in tile drainage water, including seasonality, magnitude, and relative importance to total soil P loss, is significant. Factors affecting P form distribution and their concentrations and magnitudes of loss in tile water can include those (soil, weather, crop, management practices) that are eventually related to soil P status (i.e. degree of P saturation, solubility), dispersibility, and hydrological properties (i.e. porosity and size distribution, amount of discharge and flow rate). This review paper will discus the up-to-date research findings by using case studies that have been conducted in large field plots equipped with most advanced auto-sampling and monitoring systems.

What makes some children more likely than others to dart across the street in traffic? According to a study in the December Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied (Vol. 9, No. 4), it's whether they are risk-takers. In the study, lead author Ulrich Hoffrage, PhD, a research scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, and colleagues tested 22 boys and 22 girls who were 5 to 6 years old. The researchers first placed each child on the curb of a busy one-way street in Munich where there was no traffic light or crosswalk. They then asked the children to indicate when they thought it was safe to cross the street. As the researchers expected, some children were more likely than others to say they'd cross the street at potentially dangerous times.
To find out why some children seem to be traffic daredevils, Hoffrage and colleagues played a gambling game with the children. An experimenter presented each child with 10 wooden boxes, nine of which contained coveted stickers; the tenth box was an empty "devil" box. The children were told to choose and open the boxes one-by-one. If they chose the devil box, the game ended and they lost their stickers; but if they terminated the game before they found the devil, they were able to keep the stickers they'd found. Children who terminated the game early were classified as risk-avoiders, while those who pressed their luck were labeled risk-takers.
Overall, the researchers found that the children who were risk-takers in the gambling task were more likely to decide to cross the street, especially when the gaps between cars were midsized--a time when it's often unclear whether it's safe to cross. The risk-takers also made their decisions to cross the street more quickly. Moreover, while boys were more likely than girls to make risky decisions, whether a child was a risk-taker was a far better predictor of their street-crossing behavior than gender.
The findings indicate that traffic-safety education should pay more attention to children's risk behavior and tailor their messages accordingly, says Hoffrage.
"If we succeed in identifying the mechanisms that make risk-takers accept higher levels of risk," write the authors, "we can design and implement training programs tailored to those mechanisms. For instance, risk-takers may profit from training in visual timing skills."

Intellectual disability
What is it?
It is a genetic alteration in development characterized by significant limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptative behaviors.
It should be noted that it is NOT a mental illness.
Intellectual disability is evaluated and diagnosed according to:
 - Intellectual functioning: understanding as intelligence the general mental capacity. It is taken into account that they present difficulties when it comes to reasoning or understanding complex ideas.
 - Functioning of adaptive behaviour, understanding it as a set of skills to function in daily life.
How can Social&Care help you?
In Spain there are more than 3,85 millions of people with disabilities, 300,000 of them with intellectual disability.
We must strive to offer a standarized image of people with intellectual disabilities, raise awareness and sensitize society about the specific needs of these people, making it more inclusive by normalizing their functional diversity and claiming their rights.
Social&Care helps restore autonomy and self-confidence, making families feel more secure.

We collaborate with Integrandes, a non-profit organization that has been working for more than 40 years to improve the well-being of people with intellectual disabilities and their families, promote their integration in society and treat them with dignity and respect. In addition, they are part of Plena Inclusión Madrid and support more than 300 children and adults on different ages.
Their goal: "quality of life and warmth in attention".
We also collaborate with Plena Inclusión Aragón, Aragonese Association of Entities for People with Disabilities or Development and their Families (previously called FEAPS previously). This non-profit organization was born in 1990 and struggles because every person with intellectual or developmental disabilities can develop their life project within a fair and supportive society. There are more than 36 associations in Aragón and represents more than 2900 people with disabilities and their families.

text: A great way to view and edit properties in an outline tree is column view. In column view, each outline node is turned into a table row. Columns in this table provide access to properties of the entries. Org mode implements columns by overlaying a tabular structure over the headline of each item. While the headlines have been turned into a table row, you can still change the visibility of the outline tree. For example, you get a compact table by switching to CONTENTS view (S- S-, or simply c while column view is active), but you can still open, read, and edit the entry below each headline. Or, you can switch to column view after executing a sparse tree command and in this way get a table only for the selected items. Column view also works in agenda buffers (see Agenda Views) where queries have collected selected items, possibly from a number of files.

Lobsters are odd creatures. Despite their strange, even grotesque appearance and their nickname as the "cockroaches of the sea," lobsters are a tasty delicacy enjoyed by humans around the world. But lobsters are also quite sophisticated critters. A lobster's two claws can come in several different forms (crusher and cutter, two crushers or two cutters). It has four spindly antennae and sensing hairs that allow it to smell amino acid in its prey. And that prey could be a lot of things: lobsters eat up to 100 types of animals and, occasionally, plants. They're even known to munch on one of their vulnerable lobster brethren, though that's more common in captivity (it's also why captive lobsters have rubber bands on their claws). Lobsters sometimes bury their food and eat it over several days. They use teeth located in their stomachs, eat their molted shells (full of calcium) and can shed appendages if attacked, wounded or surprised, only to regenerate them later. Finally, lobsters live in a hierarchy and it's the females who do the courting.
But there's one lobster fact that trumps them all: lobsters show no apparent signs of aging. They don't slow down or become weaker or more susceptible to disease. They don't get infertile -- older lobsters are actually more fertile than younger ones. Most lobsters seem to die because of something inflicted upon them and not because a body part failed or broke down. They're such hardy creatures that scientists aren't even sure how old lobsters can get. Add in that lobsters grow throughout their lives, and one has to ask: Is it possible that a lobster born before Napoleon and as heavy as an NFL lineman is chowing down on the sea floor?
Since lobsters never stop growing, lobster age is generally determined by size, though they can grow at different rates depending on the environment. A one-pound lobster (the minimum size that can be eaten legally) is usually 5 to 7 years old, but lobsters raised in 70-degree water have reached two pounds in less than two years. The largest lobster on record weighed about 44 pounds. Presumably, the larger lobsters get, the more competition they face for food resources and the more attention they'll attract from predators. That could make life difficult for a mega-lobster.
Professor Jelle Atema of Boston University, who has studied lobsters for decades, wants to test the animal's limits. Right now, he has a 15-pound lobster living in a cage, free from predators and pathogens. Even in these idyllic conditions, it will be years before Professor Atema's lobster approaches any records.
We may have to check in with Professor Atema, or his successor, in a few decades to see how the monster lobster measures up, but in the meantime, let's consider why lobsters live so long and get so big, and what this means for other animals, including humans.


The United States Air Force (USAF) is trying to make space solar a reality. The US Air Force aims to achieve certain goals to meet the energy needs of military personnel deployed in remote bases in the short term. However, it will eventually be available for civilian use. It wants to use solar panels to collect the sun's energy in space, and then radiate it downward for use on the earth. Officials say that the successful development of this capability will be a major advantage for the US Air Force on the battlefield.
Currently, the U.S. military uses truck convoys and their escorts to transport fuel and other materials to power advancing military bases. These convoys are easily attacked by air and ground enemies. This new project, called the Space Solar Incremental Demonstration and Research Project (SSPIDR), will direct solar energy to the outpost, regardless of the day and time, latitude and climate of the area.
The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) shared a video on YouTube describing the initial concept and potential use of this capability. AFRL is committed to the discovery, development and integration of affordable combat technologies for air and space forces.
The narrator of the video said: "Ensuring the maintenance of reliable forces at the frontline operating base is one of the most dangerous parts of military ground operations." He added, "Frigates and supply lines are the enemy's main targets."
Ground solar energy is limited by the area, the size of the required collector and the climate. However, if solar panels are deployed in orbit, they may enter the sun's rays unrestricted, thereby providing an uninterrupted energy supply.

However, the problem is to transfer energy to the ground. It is impractical to lay cables from space to the ground. Therefore, AFRL expressed the desire to deploy satellites that collect sunlight in space to convert solar energy into radio frequency (RF) power, which is then transmitted to the earth, and the receiving antenna converts it into usable power.
AFRL describes the Space Solar Demonstration and Research Project (SSPIDR) as a series of integrated demonstration and technologically mature efforts.

CONTEXT: Absence or excess of adipose tissue are both associated with metabolic complications, implying the importance of well-functioning adipose tissue present in normal amounts. Adipose tissue sequesters dietary fat and thus protects other tissues from excess fat exposure, especially after meals. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was the use of an integrative physiological technique to quantify trafficking of fatty acids (FAs) in adipose tissue over a 24 h period. METHODS: Adipose tissue FA handling was studied in response to three meals in eight healthy men by the combination of arteriovenous blood sampling, tissue blood flow, and specific labeling of FA tracing of exogenous and endogenous fat by stable isotope methodology. RESULTS: The efficiency of adipose tissue FA uptake increased robustly with each meal. Chylomicron-triglyceride was the dominating source of FA. Adipose tissue fractional extraction of chylomicron-triglyceride increased from 21 +/- 4 to 47 +/- 8% (P = 0.03) between the first and last meal. Although adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase action increased with time (2-fold), there was an even greater increase in FA reesterification (3-fold), which led to a reduced spillover of chylomicron-derived FA, from 77 +/- 15 to 34 +/- 7% (P = 0.04) comparing the end of the first and the third meal period. Increased uptake of very low-density lipoprotein-derived FA was observed, but spillover of very low-density lipoprotein-derived FA was seen only in the fasting state. CONCLUSION: Human adipose tissue has a significant potential to up-regulate fat storage during a normal day that goes beyond increased lipoprotein lipase activation. The adaptation toward increasing fat storage may provide an explanation for the beneficial properties of normal amounts of adipose tissue.

An accurate weighing system for crimping and dry-rolling machines
The innovative Kelvin Cave on-board weighing system for crimping and dry-rolling machines takes the guesswork out of the tonnage being processed allowing accurate application of preservatives and a reliable measurement of crop yield.
The system comprises three integrated load cells; one each in a pair of independently levelling hydraulic rear jack legs and one on the drawbar. These are linked to a computer unit that can be located in the tractor cab and interfaced by a series of push buttons and an LCD screen. Set-up and operation is both quick and simple:
- Machine is hydraulically jacked and levelled.
- Tare weight of the unladen machine is recorded and the system zeroed.
- The hopper is filled and a micro-switch on the grain door triggers the computer as the first of the grain is delivered to the rollers. Loss in weight from the hopper is detected by the load cells and output from the elevator calculated in kilos per second.
The key strength of the system lies in the fact that it is not necessary to suspend operation while the hopper is replenished. As soon as any gain in weight as grain is tipped into the hopper is detected, the computer suspends real-time output monitoring and calculates the average output over the previous corresponding period. Once it detects that no further weight is being added to the hopper it adds the weight to the last recorded figure and the system reverts to real-time calculations once again.
This means an entire batch of grain can be processed without interruption.
Exhaustive trialling across a range of cereals has shown consistent accuracy to within ±1% of actual weighbridge checks. Batch data can be stored in the computer and recalled at any time or downloaded for permanent logging.
The weighing system has been developed jointly between Kelvin Cave Ltd and weighing equipment specialist Griffiths Elder and employs proven technology throughout.
It is available for retrofit on certain machines and as an affordable option on all new models.

>. You can view the git forge as a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) or serverless computing provider. The app doesn't need to be deployed elsewhere, because the git forge itself is the execution environment. A GFA must be able to: Process data. Store data. Interact with the outside world. This is basically what computer applications do. Git forges have become powerful enough to do this. Imagine the following: you fork a repository and this instantiates the GFA. The GFA is now running under your git forge account. The web interface is available at https://<user>;app>/ and HTTP POST requests can also be used to interact with the application. The GFA could be a todo list, an RSS reader, a blog, etc. To the website visitor it appears like any other web application but everything happens within the git forge and no other hosting provider is necessary. Let's look at how it's possible to use a git forge as the execution environment for an app. Processing DataThe first order of business is executing code so that the application can process data. A configuration file is placed into a git repository to define runnable jobs. The job execution systems offered by git forges are GitLab CI and GitHub Actions, respectively. When the job is triggered it executes in a temporary environment, for example a Linux container image. It allows code hosted in the git repository to run on a server somewhere for a little while. There is a free allowance that grants a certain number of hours of unpaid execution time. This is how GFAs process data. For example, say we are building an RSS reader. Our repo looks like this:rss-reader/.gitlab-ci.yml - the job configuration file - download RSS feeds and check for new posts The .gitlab-ci.yml file will contain a scheduled pipeline that runs every 15 minutes. Storing DataApplications need to store data persistently. The primary way of doing that in a git forge is by storing data in the git repository itself. Mutable data can be kept on a separate branch called data and can be force-pushed to avoid forever increasing the repository size when we don't need to store previous revisions of the data. This works because each git branch has an independent commit history. The file namespace it stores is completely separate from other branches. This means it's possible to have the GFA's code on the main branch and to store data on the data branch without upsetting the commit history or files on the main branch. Data storage is available to jobs because they are allowed to manipulate their own git repository thanks to an authentication token. On GitHub GITHUB_TOKEN allows jobs to push to their git repository. This gives jobs a way of storing data. There are other forms of data storage besides the git repository. Artifactsare files produced by a job that can be downloaded via a URL. Artifacts are subject to expiry time and file size limitations. Caching is available to temporarily store files between job runs, although this data can be lost at any time. At this point you may be thinking that this is nice but there is no way to store private data if the git repository is public. Git forges offer a secrets mechanism where variables can be stored privately and only made available during job execution. This can be used to stash an encryption key so that the data is stored in public but is encrypted. Anyone can download the encrypted data but they will not have the key needed to decrypt it. Some applications can also take advantage of client-side encryption and homomorphic encryption. Interacting with the Outside WorldGit forges offer a wealth of ways to interact with the outside world, called triggers. Triggers can run a job when an HTTP POST request is made. POST requests typically need a trigger token for authentication, but that token can be published if the triggered job is safe to be invoked by anyone. Both browser clients and Webhooks can invoke triggers through HTTP POST requests. For example, imagine our RSS reader app needs an API to mark feeds as read. We define an HTTP POST trigger that runs a script that updates the feeds stored in the data branch. Since only the git repository owner should be able to invoke this trigger we do not publish the trigger token. Instead it is stored encrypted in the repository and the user provides a passphrase for decrypting this secret. At this point it is also useful to offer a web interface. This is possible thanks to the static pages hosting feature called GitLab Pages and GitHub Pages. Pushing HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and images to a special branch publishes the static website at https://<user>;app>/. For the most part GFAs are asynchronous, they cannot handle HTTP requests synchronously like a web application that outputs an HTTP response. Incoming HTTP requests simply schedule GFA jobs that run sometime later. There are a few ways around this. The browser can poll for results using XMLHttpRequest or similar techniques. Alternatively, a GFA can fire up a job that runs for several minutes although I haven't investigated if there is a practical way to communicate with a web application running in a job (I guess incoming HTTPS is tricky to achieve). Triggers offer a lot more fun than what I've already covered. They can respond to the creation and modification of wiki pages, issues, and pull request comments. This means it's possible to use those entities for interacting with the outside world. The GFA could act as a chat bot on its issue tracker, for example. LimitationsGit forges weren't designed for GFAs. But then they weren't initially designed to be Turing complete and offering ways to interact with the outside world either. That was added incrementally as demand for that functionality grew. Maybe git forges will evolve into full-blown serverless hosting competitors to today's cloud hosting providers. GFAs are a hack that uses features like static pages, CI jobs, and webhooks in a creative way to run applications on a git forge. Building GFAs that are actually useful is likely to hit some challenges: No synchronous requests - it is hard to implement search queries and other dynamic behavior in GFAs because they are primarily asynchronous (and slow!). This limitation matters for certain classes of applications. A lot can be done client-side instead to make up for this deficiency. But maybe someone can figure out how to do synchronous requests in GFAs. Security - I have outlined how to make data publicly available and also how to encrypt it so only the git repository owner can view the plaintext. This is enough for personal web applications, but it's not sufficient for multi-user applications. Maybe git forges offer a form of authentication that works with GFAs so multiple users can store private data in a single GFA instance (the git repository owner could view all users' data but other users could not). Free usage tiers - job execution time, storage capacity, and request throttling will limit how resource-intensive a GFA can be before it outgrows the free tier and eventually even the paid tier. The first generation of GFAs could be written from scratch with each job carefully designed. Then a second generation of GFAs could be built on top of frameworks that abstract the tedious git forge integration with standard APIs and data models. For example, a Vue.js frontend could use a key/value store API and the whole thing can be hosted as a GFA. Even if GFAs don't become a thing because git forges decide there is not enough demand to make them work really well, changing your perspective to think of git forges in this way is valuable. For example, I have a git repo for building a container image that I deploy on my server and that pushes output files to a web server host. All of that can be replaced with a git repository that runs a job and publishes to GitLab Pages. This simplifies things and frees me from maintaining infrastructure. ConclusionGit forges offer jobs for processing data, git repositories and artifacts for storing data, and triggers for interacting with the outside world. It is possible to build applications that exist solely as a git repository on a git forge. There is no longer a need to deploy code because the git forge itself is powerful enough to run non-trivial applications. I look forward to how

Think Before You Type
Our MISSION: SISTERHOOD Journey Take Action Project was centered around an issue we feel strongly about: bullying. Specifically we wanted to focus on cyber bulling, by teaching younger girls the dos and don'ts of texting and using social media. Our goals were to educate middle school girls on the proper things to type, to teach them how to avoid sending or posting information they will regret, and to protect them from gossip and rumors. We planned to accomplish all of these goals by teaching them how to think before they put things in writing. We wanted to help them be respectful of themselves and other women.
We held our event at the local youth center in Springdale, Arkansas. We decided that the event would last for five hours, involving middle school girls with their cell phones. We made special permission slips for the girls to have signed. The slips asked if the girls had cell phones, if they had unlimited texting ability, and if they could participate in a texting scavenger hunt.
On the day of the event, we broke the girls into two large groups. The groups rotated between the different sessions we had planned. We were surprised to hear that even at their ages–between 10 and 13–many of the girls had already received hurtful text messages. We talked to the girls about thinking before they type anything on their phones or on Facebook, and about how saying certain things can hurt people's feelings. We also asked them to think about how their messages or what they post online will reflect on them. We discussed appropriate times to text and when you should leave your phone alone, and showed videos about the dangers of texting and driving.
In doing this Journey project, we learned how to work together as a team. We saw that we have a couple of natural leaders on our team, and some who prefer to do behind-the-scenes work. We learned that a few of us are good at public speaking, and some of us need some more practice. Most importantly, we enjoyed teaching the girls about using social media responsibly–in some cases, they were able to learn from mistakes we'd made ourselves. And the project does not stop here. We will host the workshop again next year, and we plan to have Senior troops host similar events for two more years after that. As social media expands and changes in the next three years, our Take Action project will evolve with it.
