Concept of Coding System & Essential Requirements for TS SSC spot valuationConcept of Coding System & Essential Requirements: 1. Each candidate is assigned a Roll Number which is specific to him. He will be identified with Roll Number only. In the Coding system the identity of the Answer script will not be known to the Examiner who values it as it doesn't contain Roll Number and Centre Number. In other words the Roll Number and the original Centre number will not be known to the Examiner who values the script.
2. In Coding system we must be able to locate the Answer script of particular candidate in the case of marks wanting cases and Recounting cases within minutes. Therefore there should be some technical arrangement in built to locate the coded script which doesn't contain Roll Number and original Centre Number.
3. The Coding system should take care of the above two aspects namely concealing identity of the answer script and provision for its location very easily after it is coded. The following are the details how the above aspects are taken care of in conduct of all examinations under coding system.
a) Specially designed Main Answer books and Additional Answer books without provision for writing Roll Number by the candidates are supplied. Candidates are instructed not to write Roll Number or Name any where on main Answer Bundle and Additional Answer Bundle, Map, Graph sheet and part-B (Bit paper).
b) Roll Number of candidates have been coded and bar coded OMR sheets are generated. It has three parts. Part-I, Part-II and Part-III. This OMR sheet is to be pinned at specific places in Part-II by the invigilator/candidate to the Main answer book and answers are written by the candidate. Part-I contains candidate particulars such as Roll Number, Name, Centre Name, Date of Exams, Medium, Paper code and name. Part-II is meant for posting marks by the A.E Part-III is also meant for posting total marks and shading corresponding bubbles.
c) After the examination in a centre the answer scripts are made into sub-bundles of 20, except last one which may be less than 20 and dispatched duly packing them in a sealed cloth cover duly keeping D forms containing details of Roll Numbers allotted to the centre.
The Camp Officer/DEO receives the answer scripts with attached bar-coded OMR sheets from the centre allotted. Since the part-I of OMR attached to the answer script contains Roll Number, Name, Centre name etc., and as such they cannot be given for valuation. In order to conceal its identity, Part-I will be detached in the first instance and in the place of original centre new centre code will be assigned.
When once the Part-I is detached another problem will arise as how to identify the script in case of it is needed in marks wanting cases. We have to locate the script fast and know the marks of it. Also in the cases of recounting cases the scripts have to be taken out and they should belong to the candidate applied for. For this purpose "concept of Control Bundle Slip" has been thought of. For every bunch of 20 answer scripts there will be one Control Bundle slip to control the relative position of each answer script in that bunch/sub-bundle. For this, all the answer scripts in a centre will be arranged in increasing order of Roll Numbers and then they made into sub-bundles of 20. And with in the sub-bundles the answer scripts will be arranged in ascending order of Roll Numbers. This needs to be done at Centre level by the Chief Superintendent and Departmental Officer before making bundling and dispatch. However at Spot valuation centre level also as a precautionary measure this should be checked first before the Part-I of OMR sheets attached to the answer scripts are detached by the Assistant Coding Officer and Coding helpers attached to him.
After detaching the Part-Is of OMRs attached, one control bundle slip will be placed on the top of sub bundle of 20 answer scripts. All these Control Bundle Slips must be used in ascending order of the number printed on it. When this sub-bundle of 20 answer scripts with Part-II & Part-III OMR along with control bundle slip is given to the Assistant Examiner, he/she without changing the order of the answer scripts in the sub bundle note the Sl. Nos. on the Answer scripts and then note down the related position in Part-I of control bundle slip and also in Part-II & Part-III of OMR attached to the answer script before starting valuation. Since Part-II control bundle slip along with 20 Part-IIIs of OMR sheets will be scanned, the relative position of the answer script with reference to control bundle slip can be generated. This will help to locate the answer script and its identity will be confirmed by reading through Barcode reader connected to the computer.
Further another important aspect is that all the coded answer script bundles shall be preserved after valuation with proper labeling with reference to newly assigned centre code and control bundle slip number. It would be better to preserve them in racks.

The tingling sensation? Well, it's just carbonation. All those little bubbles are popping on my tongue, and it makes that fizzy tingling you feel.
Everyone has always assumed that was the case, but just recently researchers at the University of California did some experiments on this.
They treated half of the tongue on subjects with a substance that temporarily inactivates certain receptors. If the fizz came from purely mechanical stimulation, that is, popping bubbles, these folks should still have felt it. Instead, when they drank carbonated water they felt fizz only on the other side of the tongue.
But if it isn't the bubbles we feel, then what is it?
One idea is that pain receptors, called "nociceptors," are in fact the ones being stimulated. The theory is that enzymes in our mouths change the carbon dioxide in bubbles into carbonic acid, which stimulates nociceptors, and that's what gives that tingly feeling.

Thematics: Teaching the SDG's
Why It Matters: Teaching the SDGs
The UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals 2015 were developed with the intention of harmonizing three core components as we rapidly move towards an unknown future: economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection. They serve as the foundation for Green School's middle school 'thematics' curriculum.
Green School's mission is 'A Community of Learners Making Our World Sustainable' and the Green School middle school day is broken into three frames:
 1. Thematic Frame
 2. Proficiency Frame
 3. Experiential Frame
It is during the thematic frame of the day that students in grades six through eight focus their learning on the Sustainable Development Goals and intentionally work towards making our world sustainable. In our thematics frame we aim to foster the development of students building background knowledge and understanding of the various issues outlined in the seventeen goals and work to brainstorm ways in which they can contribute to making our world more sustainable in the context of these various goals.
In my first three years at Green School, I had the opportunity to teach middle school thematics in both seventh and eighth grade classrooms and in doing so had the opportunity to creatively design content and unit plans for ten of the seventeen goals including SDG's #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 15, and 16.

Toxicodryas blandigii
Image Credit : Crystal Palace Reptiles
Blanding's tree snake or Blanding's cat snake, is a species of rear-fanged venomous snake of the family Colubridae. Typical of Toxicodryas is the big oval head with big eyes.
The basic color in the young is light brown to rusty red with darker red to brown large oval spots. In the females eventually the color changes to light gray-brown with darker brown saddle patches, so that they are well camouflaged in the branches. The males turn black.
 - Scientific name : Toxicodryas blandingii
 - Distribution : Sub-Saharan Africa
 - Average Size : 1.8 m (5.9 ft)
 - Life Span : 15 years or more
 - Difficulty : Intermediate
A terrarium with a minimum size of 0.9 x 0.6 x 0.9 meters (3 x 2 x 3 feet) for each individual is recommended but ideally you should house your individual snakes in an enclosure of 1.2 x 0.6 x 0.9 meters (4 x 2 x 3 feet). Keeping Toxicodryas blandingii in pairs always has the risk for cannibalism so it's recommended to keep them only in pairs in case you will breed them during breeding season only, although I am personally keeping them in pairs throughout the year in large enclosures without any issues. They like climbing so some steady branches should be mounted in the enclosure along with either real or fake foliage to give a more naturalistic approach in your enclosure.
Hide box
They usually don't really hide but at least give them the possibility to do it. With a hollow piece of wood or something like that on both ends of the enclosure in order for your Toxicodryas blandingii to thermoregulate and feel safe while doing it.
As bedding, reptibark or other natural looking bedding can be used. I never tried a bio-active system but that would be an option too. You should always provide a substrate of 0.05-0.1 meters (0.15-0.3 feet) depth.
Lighting – Heating
It's a recommended to add in the enclosure full spectrum fluorescent tubes on timers that work on a 12 hours on and off cycle.
It depends on the size of the cage but never put the heat source in the middle, because that means both left and right will be the same temperature. Put the light bulb on the left or the right in order to create a thermoregulating environment. Depending on the height of the cage a 70W heat bulb should be enough. Just one hot spot will be enough to provide the required heat of 35 °C (95 °F). The ambient temperature of the enclosure should be 24-26 °C (75-79 °F). During winter the nights get automatically colder. I don't let it drop under 17-18 °C (63-65 °F).
It is important to give them the availability to drink fresh water, so a water bowl is necessary. You can also give them water via a spray system or a normal plant sprayer.
You should always monitor your humidity. 60-70% humidity would work just fine with Toxicodryas blandingii.
Of course what you feed is depending on their size. Newborn animals have no problem to eat pinkies directly and adults will take rats, mice and chicks once a week. For adult animals I recommend to feed them once every 10 or 14 days depending on the size of food you give them.
Usually this species is quite defensive and not really easy to handle so try to keep handling to minimum (health checks and cage cleaning). They widely open their mouth and then can strike very far. Also don't underestimate their venom, it is known to be quite potent.
You should spot clean any feces as soon as you see any in the enclosure. The bedding can be changed once or twice a year depending how dirty it is and also depending on your animal size. But with two adults together it will soon be quite dirty so make sure to keep it clean.
Their shedding is normal like all other snakes. Newborn baby's will shed after 10 days or so. It's always recommended to raise the humidity level during shedding periods. A good measure to know that your humidity is on the correct level is when your snake has a complete, perfect shed.
Potential Health Problems
No specific potential health problems to mention for this species beyond those affecting reptiles and/or snakes in general. They seem to be a relatively hardy animal when kept properly.


Get to know your users better with Custom Event tracking
A look at the importance of using Google Analytics' custom events - with examples
Google Analytics has many useful features, but one that is often overlooked is custom event tracking. This is unfortunate considering the valuable insights custom events can provide about user behaviour on websites. Ultimately a better understanding of which elements of a website are used the most facilitates the creation of better user experiences.
UXB set-up custom event tracking on all the websites we build. The insights gained help us improve site performance for clients and inform the design and build of future sites.
So why are custom events so important?
Useful scenarios for custom events
Asset downloads
Custom event tracking can be used to monitor how many visitors follow links to document downloads such as forms or brochures. This can be especially useful when combined with goals to monitor conversions where the downloading of a document is a call to action on a webpage.
Clicks on links to social media pages
This not only tells you how useful your users find these social media links overall but also which channel they're most interested in.
Form opens vs. submissions
If you've got a form on your website such as a contact or booking form then it's valuable to understand how many people are submitting the form as a proportion of form opens. This can be done easily with custom events, which can also enable you to track whether users started but didn't complete a form and, if so, at which point they abandon the form. This will enable you to improve your website's forms to reduce abandonment rates.
Use of content filters
Where a section of a website provides a way of filtering content, such as with a drop down list or links to tags, custom events can be used to track how widely used these filters are but also which filters are the most popular. This will give you a better understanding of what content is of most interest to website visitors and may lead you to want to promote certain content outside of the filtered content or change the focus of your content strategy.
Interaction with slideshows
These days slideshows are a widely used feature on websites but how do you know how useful they are to your users without tracking interactions with them? Using custom events it's possible to track usage of slideshow previous, next, and control buttons. Clicks on links within slideshows could also be tracked as well as time spent with the mouse cursor hovered over the slideshow (there's a strong correlation between where a user positions their cursor and where they're looking on the screen).
Get tracking
Custom event tracking in Google Analytics is a powerful tool for understanding website usage. The data which these events provide can be invaluable for improving the user experience of website visitors. Considering how easy it is to track interactions with page widgets using custom events they should be considered an essential part of developing a new website. After all if you can't show how useful an element on a webpage is to your users then what's it doing there?
Configuring custom events requires a degree of technical knowledge and access to a website's source code. Detailed instructions can be found on Google Developers website.

Wikipedia: The Water monitor, (Varanus salvator) is a large species of monitor lizard capable of growing to 3.21 metres (10.5 ft) in length, with the average size of most adults at 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) long. Maximum weight of Varanus salvator can be over 25 kilograms (55 lb), but most are half that size. Their body is muscular with a long, powerful, laterally compressed tail. Water monitors are one of the most common monitor lizards found throughout Asia, and range from Sri Lanka, India, Indochina, the Malay Peninsula and various islands of Indonesia, living in areas close to water.
Wikipedia:Water monitors can be defensive, using their tail, claws, and jaws when fighting. They are excellent swimmers, using the raised fin located on their tails to steer through water. Water Monitors are carnivores, and have a wide range of foods. They are known to eat fish, frogs, rodents, birds, crabs, and snakes.They have also been known to eat turtles, as well as young crocodiles and crocodile eggs Like the Komodo Dragon, they will often eat carrion.

This book is first and foremost a grammatical description of Baure, a seriously endangered language from Bolivian Amazonia. Baure belongs to the Southern Arawak language family and it forms part of the Guaporé-Mamoré linguistic area. This book is the first detailed and comprehensive grammatical description of Baure, covering its phonology, morphology, syntax, and discourse structure.
Special attention is given to the complex (morpho)phonological processes within a phonological phrase, the rich noun classification system, the distinction of verbal and non-verbal predicates with respect to the argument marking pattern, the three-level distinction of verbal morphology, and specific clause types based on different nominalization strategies, which also play an important role in clause subordination. This book is aimed at linguists from all backgrounds and is of special interest to typologists, historical linguists, Arawakanists, Americanists, and anthropologists. It is also an important record of a dying language for its speech community and their descendants.

How can the WFD cost categories made more feasible? (by Ingo Heinz) - ABSTRACT: One of the key challenges laid down in the Water Framework Directive (WFD) is to evaluate water services in such a way that the charges for such services reflect all their costs. The prices for water supply and other services have to capture the costs incurred by the provision of these services. However, in practice there are different views on this cost-recovery principle. One of them confines it to the costs of the equipment needed to ensure the provision of the services the so-called financial costs. Another approach incorporates the environmental costs, which are usually not taken sufficiently into account in cost calculations of water users. They are related to environmental damage caused, for instance, by overuse of waters or excessive water pollution. The economic evaluation of environmental damage is sometimes difficult or not possible at all. The costs of preventing and mitigating such damage are therefore often used as a proxy.
A third cost definition refers to the resource costs. This category can be interpreted as those costs that are caused by a failure to use water resources optimally. A typical example is an inefficient water allocation among different water users due to a 'wrong' assignment of water rights. By changing such an allocation additional benefits from water use may be obtained. Another example is insufficient investment in installations to ensure water supply in the future. From a long-term perspective, the future benefits can exceed the present costs. The WFD has recognised these three cost categories. However, there are some uncertainties regarding the definitions and calculation methods. In particular, the definition of resource costs may cause confusion in distinguishing them from the environmental costs. For instance, an excessive depletion of water resources can cause both environmental damage (e.g. impaired forests) and resource costs. However, the resource costs should be understood as the additional economic value of water that is required to reach an optimal or sustainable use of water. There are several tools, such as the cost-effectiveness analysis, the cost benefit analysis or even hydro-economic models (such as developed in the Jucar river basin, Spain) which can help to determine the forgone economic benefits and the corresponding charges. With regard to the term financial costs, further clarifications also appear to be necessary, even though this type of cost calculation causes less methodological problems. There are various cost calculation methods, which can lead to considerable differences in the computed costs. For instance, discount rates in calculating the annual capital costs can differ (interest rates on capital markets versus social discount rates). The financial costs of water services can be very sensitive to changes in the value of the discount rate applied. Even a small increase in this value can make a project 'too expensive'. A further clarification may be needed with regard to the depreciation method for calculating the annual capital costs (usually the main component of the financial costs of water services). Should they be calculated on the basis of current or future replacement values? Should they include additional investments needed in the future? In the following, the possibilities for and the limitations of the application of the ambitious WFD cost and water pricing approach will be analysed. Recommendations will also be made with regard to a clearer definition of each of the three cost categories.

:: Classification in Paralympic: ::
 | Post date: 2012/08/29 |
The Paralympic Movement offers sport opportunities for athletes that have a primary impairment that belongs to one of the following 10 'eligible' impairment types: • Impaired muscle power Impairments in this category have in common that there is reduced force generated by the contraction of a muscle or muscle groups (e.g. muscles of one limb, one side of the body, the lower half of the body). Examples of condtions included in this category are para and quadriplegia, muscular dystrophy, post poliomyelitis, spina bifida.
 - Impaired passive range of movement
 Range of movement in one or more joint is reduced in systematical way. Note that hypermobility of joints, joint instability (e.g. shoulder dislocation), and acute conditions of reduced range of movement (e.g. arthritis types of impairment) typically will be excluded as 'eligible impairment'.
Limb deficiency
There is a total or partial absence of the bones or joints as a consequence of trauma (e.g. traumatic amputation), illness (e.g. bone cancer) or congenital limb deficiency (e.g. dysmelia)
 - Leg length difference
 Due to congenital deficiency or trauma, bone shortening occurs in one leg.
Short stature
 Standing height is reduced due to aberrant dimensions of bones of upper and lower limbs or trunk (e.g. achondoplasia)
 A condition marked by an abnormal increase in muscle tension and a reduced ability of a muscle to stretch. Hypertonia may result from injury, disease, or conditions that involve damage to the central nervous system. When the injury occurs in children under the age of 2, the term cerebral palsy is often used, but it also can be due to brain injury (e.g. stroke, trauma) or multiple sclerosis.
 - Ataxia
 Ataxia is a neurological sign and symptom that consists of a lack of co-ordination of muscle movements. When the injury occurs in children under the age of 2, the term cerebral palsy is often used, but it also can be due to brain injury (e.g. stroke, trauma) or multiple sclerosis.
Athetosis can vary from mild to severe motor dysfunction. It is generally characterized by unbalanced, involuntary movements of muscle tone and a difficulty maintaining a symmetrical posture. When the injury occurs in children under the age of 2, the term cerebral palsy is often used, but it also can be due to brain injury (e.g. stroke, trauma).
 - Vision impairment
Vision is impacted by either an impairment of the eye structure, optical nerves or optical pathways, or visual cortex of the central brain.
Intellectual Impairment
 The Paralympic Movement identifies intellectual impairment as "a disability characterized by significant limitation both in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social and practical adaptive skills. This disability originates before the age of 18" (American Association on Intellectual and Development Disability, 2010). The diagnostics of intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior must be made using internationally recognized and professionally administered measures as recognized by INAS (International Federation for sport for para-athletes with an intellectual disability).
The Paralympic Movement adopted the definitions for the eligible impairment types as described in the World Health Organization International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (2001, World Health Organization, Geneva) Each Paralympic Sport has to clearly define for which impairment groups they provide sports opportunities. This is described in the Classification Rules of each sport. While some sports include athletes of all impairment types (e.g. Athletics, Swimming), other sports are limited to one impairment type (e.g. Goalball, Boccia) or a selection of impairment types (e.g. Equestrian, Cycling) The presence of an applicable eligible impairment is a prerequisite but not the sole criterion of entry into a particular Paralympic Sport.
 Classification - Fair and equal competition
 Athlete Evaluation
When an athlete first starts competing he/she undergoes a process to verify the above criteria are met. This process is conducted by a classification panel, a group of individuals authorized and certified by a Sport Federation to determine the sport class of an athlete. The process (typically) includes:
 - the verification of the presence of an eligible impairment for that sport • physical and technical assessment to exam the degree of activity limitation
 - the allocation of a sport class
- the observation in competition When undergoing athlete evaluation, an athlete is only classified for one sport. If an athlete is not eligible to compete in a sport, this does not question the presence of a genuine impairment. It means:
 - that the Athlete does not have a primary impairment that makes him/her eligible to compete in that particular sport, or
 - that the severity of the impairment does not significantly impact on the activities required in that particular sport. Due to the progressive nature of some impairment and their impact on certain activities, athletes are sometimes classified a number of times throughout their career. When the medical condition of an athlete changes, he/she needs to inform the Sport as well and ask for re-assessment. To compete at international level, an athlete must be classified by an International Classification Panel and their decision overrules any previous classification decision taken by a national classification panel. As a result of the sport specific classification systems, each sport has its own classifiers. For example, an IPC Ice Sledge Hockey classifier is only certified to classify athletes for this sport, and not for other sports. Source:_URL_

Throughout history the majority of martial arts have operated within a culture of honor. Warrior classes from Vikings to Medieval knights to modern military personnel have shared this tendency as well. The ideal has always been to combine martial skills with ethical codes of behavior.
In Japan this ethical code of conduct was called Bushido ("Way of the Warrior) or Budo (Way of the Spirit.) Bushido was intended to permeate the life of the samurai. Specifically, it developed these seven character traits: right action, courage, benevolence, respect, truthfulness, honor, and loyalty. Many modern day Jiu Jitsu practitioners still find the concept of "Bushido" to be an important component of their practice.
Why have codes of moral virtue been combined with martial skill?
Charles Darwin suggested an answer – he was puzzled by a phenomenon that seemed to contradict the most basic premise of his Theory of Evolution, that natural selection should favor the ruthless.
People who are kind and generous should therefore die before passing on their genes to the next generation. Yet this is clearly not true, and all societies value kindness and generosity among their members.
Evolutionary biologists say that this seeming contradiction arises from the fact that we pass on our genes as individuals, but we survive as members of groups – and groups can exist only when individuals act not solely for their own advantage but for the sake of the group as a whole.
Neuroscientists say this dynamic has resulted in two patterns of reaction in our brains, a "Fast Track" and a "Slow Track."
The Fast Track focuses on the individual.
- The Fast Track focuses on potential danger to us as individuals.
- It is characterized by the immediate, instinctive and emotional.
The Slow Track focuses on the group.
- The Slow Track enables us to take a more considered view of the consequences of our actions for us and others.
- It is characterized by the reflective, rational and altruistic.
The fast track helps us survive, but it can also lead us to acts that are impulsive and destructive. The slow track leads us to more considered behavior – it brings moments of moral beauty into what might otherwise be harsh and lonely lives. The Fast Track helps us survive, but it is the Slow Track that enables us to thrive.
The Importance of Bushido.
This puts us in a position to understand why bushido was an important component of martial arts in the past — and why we still need it in the future. By encouraging ethical behavior, Bushido strengthens and speeds up the Slow Track. It reconfigures our neural pathways, turning moral behavior into instinct.
Bushido is the antidote to reckless behavior. It replaces emotional outbursts with moral choices. By metaphorically carving bushido into their hearts, the ideal samurai aimed to make "right action" automatic. This guided them towards the appropriate use of violence. Those who fell short of the ideal were more inclined to misuse their power and compromise their honor.
A strengthening of the slow track will highlight the honor in restraint. Unmitigated violence without the balance of a moral code is self destructive to the individual and the community they reside in.
The idea that Jiu Jitsu can now do without some form of ethical code of behavior, or Bushido, not only flies in the face of history, it contradicts evolutionary biology.
The emotional strength and psychological fitness that is associated with the Slow Track will likely have a greater impact on our life than martial arts skill or physical strength. This makes strengthening the Slow Track of our brains a supremely practical endeavor.
Philosophies such as Bushido are not a useless thing from the past. In fact, when combined with martial skill, they provide a more well rounded knowledge that is the way of the future.
What do you think? Do these moral codes still have a place in modern day Jiu Jitsu? Can they still be effective in helping us balance physical capabilities with a strong moral character?

Timilìa wheat
Synonyms: Timilia a reste bianche, Tumminia, Diminia, Tummulia, Riminia, Marzuolo siciliano, Marzuolo, Timilia napoletana, Napoletan. Known as Timilìahe, the cultivation of durum wheat has been practiced in Sicily for several centuries. It is thought that it was already known in ancient Greece with the name of Trimeniaios (τρεσ μηναιός).
During the 90-year war (_PHONE_) this wheat was cultivated in Lentini for the possibility of being sown late. Its synonym Triminia indicates the capacity that this wheat has to complete its cultivation cycle in three months.
The Franciscan monk Francesco Cupani (_PHONE_) speaks of Timilia in his Panphyton Siculum, describing it as "Triticum omnium durum Vernum spica longâ alba, angustâ barbâ nigricante" which means "A hard spring wheat, a long white spike, with thick black beard".
But we probably owe to Johann Wolfgang Goethe the most famous description of this wheat. In his "Voyage to Sicily" (1787) he describes it in this way: "The wheat is beautiful. Tumenia (TUMMINIA) -name that seems to come from Bimenia orTrimeniais a precious gift of Ceres: it's a kind of summer grain which ripens in three months. They sow it from January to June and it always matures within a certain time. It doesn't need much water but rather quite a lot of heat. From the beginning it shows a very delicate leaf, then it grows like other wheat and finally it acquires a lot of force".
This wheat was also found in Portugal, North Africa, France and particularly in Seville, Spain. The agronomist Hugo Werner German in 1885 reported the various names with which Triticum tumonia or Timilìa was called. The names varies according to the location and were as follow: Tremesino in Spain; Blé Trimenia, Trèmois, or Trimenia de Sicile in France and Dreimonatweizen (three-month grain) in Germany.
Timilia widespread throughout Sicily in the last century as in the first half of the century the cultivation of this variety reached a remarkable diffusion thanks to the adaptation to the different environmental conditions. However, in the second half of the 20th century it was almost entirely abandoned. Recently, thanks to the greater sensitivity towards healthier and more sustainable productions and to the passion of various farmers guardians of Sicily, Timilia wheat regained a prominent place in the production of wheat throughout the Sicilian territory.
Its flour is used in a mixture for the production of Castelvetrano's black bread which is typical of the western area of the island and Slow Food presidium.

American rabbi who on June 6, 2009, became the first female African American to be so ordained. Though the Reform and Conservative movements in Judaism had begun ordaining women rabbis in the 1970s and '80s, Stanton's ordination drew national attention to the growing number of African Americans converting to Judaism.
Stanton was raised as a Pentecostal Christian. She first became interested in Judaism as a child, when her family moved to a predominantly Jewish neighbourhood in Cleveland Heights. She converted to Reform Judaism in 1987 while a student at Colorado State University (CSU), where she earned a bachelor's degree in psychology in 1988. The unmarried Stanton, mother of an adopted daughter, was unusual among converts to Judaism, most of whom make the conversion for the sake of an upcoming marriage. Stanton then earned a master's degree in education from CSU in 1992 and received a professional counselor's license in 1998; she earned another master's degreein Hebrew lettersfrom Hebrew Union CollegeJewish Institute of Religion in 2009. Working as a psychotherapist in Aurora, Colo., she specialized in grief and loss counseling, often working with abused and neglected children. After the Columbine shootings in 1999, she counseled the grieving students.
In 2002 Stanton became a student at Hebrew Union CollegeJewish Institute of Religion, studying first in Jerusalem and then in Cincinnati, Ohio. While a student, she was assigned a summer internship for a Jewish congregation in Dothan, Ala. Although the arrival of a black rabbinical intern in a small Southern town at first created a stir, Stanton won over her congregation with her warmth and kindness. Following her ordination in June 2009, she became the spiritual leader at Congregation Bayt Shalom in Greenville, N.C., a predominately white congregation affiliated with both the Conservative and Reform movements.

I'm comparing Entity Framework with NHibernate, and I'd like to know if when using SQL Server, what effect (if any) would enabling or disabling MARS support have on NHibernate?
MARS = Multiple Active Result Sets
The Entity Framwork documentation states the following:
When you call the Load method during a foreach (C#) or For Each (Visual Basic) enumeration, the Entity Framework tries to open a new data reader. This operation will fail unless you have enabled multiple active results sets by specifying multipleactiveresultsets=true in the connection string. For more information, see Using Multiple Active Result Sets (MARS) on MSDN. You can also load the result of the query into a List collection, which closes the data reader and enables you to enumerate over the collection to load referenced entities.
Does NHibernate has the same issue?
Additional information when connecting to SQL Azure

The issue you're referring to is linked to "server side cursors", and as far as I know of nHibernate this shouldn't be an issue, simply because it don't use them.
If you're using LINQ to load objects in nHibernate, on the first access to the foreach enumeration, nHibernate load in memory the whole resultset of the query, and this way it can use the session's connection to load everything else. When using HQL query or Criteria, it will load the resultset when you call "List()" then it close the connection.
Entity framework on the flip side, try to be smart and make use of server side cursors when scrolling a collection via a foreach enumeration, so the objectContext's connection is "busy" with the server side cursor until the foreach enumeration is ended. If MARS is not enabled, EF can't use the connection to load another resultset (you can still issue other statements such update, insert and delete) and thus it will give you an error like "There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first" or something similar.
Hope this helps,
After some research I've found that nHibernate could use MARS, but still in ver there's no driver for SqlServer that supports it. Of course in the SqlClientDriver is not supported (as it is inteded for Sql2000 that has no support for MARS) but even in the Sql2008ClientDriver the relevant property is set to false. Anyway this is something I'll post to the nHibernate team as soon as possible
share|improve this answer
So then does NH not care about MARS at all? What if you try to lazy-load another entity while enumerating an IQueryable result set? Wouldn't that require MARS? Perhaps NH has some way around this, or just doesn't support it? – Matt Johnson Nov 7 '11 at 17:33
Well, I'm tempted to but I can't say that. I've taken a look at nHibernate source and found out that the nHibernate could potentially use MARS. The SqlClientBatchingBatcher is derived from AbstractBatcher which in turn check if "_factory.ConnectionProvider.Driver.SupportsMultipleOpenReaders" then it use an implementaion of IDataReader that make use of MARS (as far as I know just for SQLServer and Oracle). So nHibernate is aware of MARS and looking at the cose seems able to use it for batching, if it is available, however I haven't tried it so far. If you 'll do some test on it, let us know – mCasamento Nov 8 '11 at 13:48
Thanks for looking. I'll do some testing at some point. The concern came up because we are going to (eventually) be using SQL Azure with Federations, and it doesn't support MARS. We chose NHibernate for other reasons, but I'm working on the assumption that it does not require MARS and will still work when not enabled. I'll award you the bounty since yours was the only answer and was at least detailed enough to point me in the right direction. Thanks. – Matt Johnson Nov 8 '11 at 14:54
Glad to be helpful, glad for the points and... Glad you choose nHibernate! I've done the same comparison about 1 year and an half ago, and now I lead a big project with nHibernate. I also help on two other smaller projects developed with EF so I'm up to date with both, and day by day I see that are no other reason that a gentler learning curve to use EF with a real world business application (more than 50 entities) – mCasamento Nov 8 '11 at 20:51
The distinguishing factor for me was that NH can be extended through event listeners. EF had something that could achieve the same effect in CTP5 called "Custom Pluggable Conventions", but they dropped it for the 4.1 release and it hasn't come back yet in 4.2. So NH it is. – Matt Johnson Nov 9 '11 at 14:19

What's the file extension for assembly code? Can it even be written by a text editor?
My plan was to use nano to write the program (for syntax highlighting), so would that work? If not, what do I need to use?
Can you even compile ARM assembly code?
 - 1
 Is there a universal standard? Do you think that might depend on the assembler you plan to use? The Gnu Compiler Collection (gcc) on the Pi seems to use.s if you choose to see the assembler produced by the compiler for a C source file. – joan May 10 '14 at 11:23
 - There are two main standards for ASM, AT&T syntax and Intel syntax, dominant in *nix and Windows worlds respectively. Nano should work okay, though you won't be able to tell it to explicitly syntax highlight ASM language, which you can do with, say, Gedit or Geany (would have to be installed.) As far as I can tell, gcc compiles ASM just fine. Granted, I have only used it on my Ubuntu system, but it should work pretty similarly on the Pi. – RPiAwesomeness May 12 '14 at 18:55
Assembly is a programming language, and, like other programming languages, you have plain text source codes that can be edited by all text editors out there.
The confusion comes from the fact that, as it is the lowest level programming language just above machine language, other programming language's compilers will generate assembly source-code from their language source codes. As a matter of fact, that's pretty much the definition of compilers: to produce assembly language code from their original language source codes. Wikipedia has a good article about compilers you should take a look to understand this process a little better.
Now once you have assembly source codes, you use an assembler to produce machine code. The assembly source code is specific to the computer architecture, in RPi's case, ARM.
GNU's gcc (the most common compiler you use for compiling C source codes in Linux) has also the assembler that will get an assembly source code and generate the executable machine code from it.
Coding in assembly is very hard and not something to be taken lightly. This comes from the fact that it is mapped 1-to-1 to machine code, so you need to know every nuts and bolts details of the architecture you are developing for. An assembly source code for the PC can be completely different from the same application code for the ARM, for example. They are not interchangeable. Second part: all the libraries out there you use to make your developer-life easier (not only the higher level ones, I am talking libc here) aren't readily available for assembly programming. You cannot call functions like printf() or scanf() that easily. It is doable, but not the same way you would do in C for example.
Coding in assembly is somehow limited to very small footprint applications and embedded devices nowadays. Only applications with very limited resources (like very small embedded systems) justify the hassle and effort needed to write assembly code. And not to consider the fact that it is also very hard to debug and maintain. I myself have written an assembly program one morning and the next day I would have no idea how to make simple changes on the source code. You need to document it A LOT.
Now answering your question:
If you write a source code in C (something simple, please!) and use the following gcc command, you will have the assembly code as the output:
gcc -Wall -S test.c
Check the test.s file.
Now if you want to generate the machine-language object from that assembly file, just go with:
gcc -c test.s
And then to generate the executable:
gcc test.o
Your executable will be in the a.out file.
If you remove the "-c" option from the "test.s" assembly command, it will generate the executable directly.
 - The problem with that is the compiler might not generate all the modes you can use in assembly language. There is thumb mode and neon mode. The neon instructions can speed up vector math for instance. – PaulF8080 Dec 19 '16 at 17:44
Assembly program files have.s extension (.s because during pronunciation it makes starting sound of assembly, I think so)
 - open file with:
 sudo nano filename.s
 - save it with Ctrl+X then Y
 - assemble it with:
 as -o filename.o filename.s
 - link it with:
 gcc -o filename filename.o
It will create an executable file with name filename, execute it with:
If you are not interested in command line usage then install codeblocks, an IDE for such things by:
sudo apt-get install codeblocks
 - To be really picky, it's.S not.s – PaulF8080 Dec 19 '16 at 19:31
 - _USER_ No, it's not..s is the common extension assembly source and.S is the common extension for assembly source with C preprocessor support. You assemble.s file with as while.S file need to use gcc or pass the file through cpp first. – Goswin von Brederlow Sep 27 '20 at 14:47
There are two extensions commonly used for assembly sources:.s and.S. They are simple plain text files and can be edited with any text editor.
Pure assembly sources use the.s extension and are compiled using an assembler as. This is commonly called assembling instead of compiling.
The.S extension is used for assembly source files with C preprocessor directives. This allows the use of _TAG_, _TAG_, _TAG_,... or C/C++ style comments just like in any C source. This allows for example including a common header in both assembly and C files to share defines.
The assembler though has no clue what to do with C preprocessor directives so.S files have to be preprocessed using cpp, the C preprocessor, first. To make things easier gcc automates this. So when you pass a.S file to gcc it will first call cpp and then as.

Vacuum frying refers to dehydrate food in a negative pressure environment.
Generally, the frying temperature is between 80 to 120 ℃, which can effectively reduce the damage of high temperature to food nutrients. The vacuum fried product has lower oil content and is healthier.
01. KEEP FRESH FLAVORS
Most of the flavors in the fresh materials are water-soluble and do not dissolve in the oil, vacuum frying is carried out at a hermetically sealed vessel, these flavors are further concentrated.
02. COLOR PRESERVING
The vacuum frying temperature is 80~120*C, and the oxygen absence in the vacuum fryer. Fried food is not brown. For example, kiwifruit is easily browned by heat, and it can keep its green color if it is fried in vacuum.
03. CRISPY AND DELICIOUS

Computer Laboratory
Security Group
TAMPER Laboratory
collage of photos from publications
The TAMPER (Tamper And Monitoring Protection Engineering Research) Lab at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory focuses on the hardware aspects of computer and communication security.
Experience shows that the most commonly exploited vulnerabilities in modern information security systems result from implementation defects, user errors and poorly understood characteristics of computer hardware. Hardware security is a particularly neglected field.
Hardware vendors have often made claims about the tamper resistance or even the correct functioning of their products which turned out to be unjustified, and the lack of published information about attack techniques made it difficult for customers to evaluate their claims. This has led to widespread and expensive security failures in applications such as pay-TV and banking. Yet we see the designers of newly fielded systems making the mistakes over and over again.
Research in hardware security requires a broad range of capabilities. This includes not only classical cryptography and computer security know-how, but also expertise in physics, electronics, chemistry, material sciences, microelectronics, communication systems and signal processing. It often requires the construction of specialised equipment, and it usually takes some practice to acquire laboratory skills - especially where attacks involve techniques such as microprobing silicon chips, analysing unintended radio frequency emanations or the disassembly of software.
The TAMPER lab consists of faculty members and research students from the Security, Systems, Programming, and Graphics Groups in the Computer Laboratory; it also includes, cooperates with, or stays in close contact with interested researchers of other university departments such as Materials Science and Engineering. We are sponsored by local and international industry, including chip makers, test equipment vendors and laboratories specialising in semiconductor analysis and electromagnetic interference.
In the TAMPER Lab, we study existing security products, document how they have been penetrated in the past, develop new attack techniques, and try to forecast how newly available technologies will make it easier to bypass hardware security mechanisms. We then develop and evaluate new countermeasures and assist industrial designers in staying ahead of the game, most of all by giving them an advanced understanding of which attack techniques are most dangerous. We are especially interested in protection systems for mass-market applications, and in forensic applications.
We have in-depth expertise in semiconductor and emissions security. We are also interested in biometrics, physical seals, signal remanence in storage media, and whatever other technologies come along that may be useful to attack, defence or both.
Compromising emanations / emissions security / side-channel attacks
What can we learn from a system (whether an office PC or a smartcard) by studying the electromagnetic, optic, acoustic and other signals that it emits? How can we either suppress the information leakage, or (if we are the attacker) covertly broadcast secrets over large distances?
Selected publications
Semiconductor security
How can we extract software from a security processor or otherwise reconstruct cryptographic keys stored in it? This may involve invasive techniques where we depackage the chip package and use semiconductor test equipment to probe, modify and interfere with it; it may also involve non-invasive techniques such as monitoring electromagnetic leakage and inducing faults using power transients and similar techniques.

Hardware assurance and reliability
With the growing complexity of integrated circuits the importance of post production testing and functional verification is growing. This is necessary to address the issues in failure analysis and to perform design verification for correctness, and to eliminate inevitable bugs. Another important question to answer is whether the device be fully functional in 10, 20 or 50 years time? Not only it is important that the hardware does what it is supposed to, but also whether the hardware has any additional and sometime unintentional functionality. This could be in the form of disguised factory test or debug interface, silicon level backdoor or deliberately inserted Trojan. Most silicon chips are now designed and made abroad by third parties. Is there any independent way to evaluate these products that are used in critical systems? Until the development of the efficient silicon scanning techniques, it would be unfeasible to test real silicon chips for Trojans or backdoors.

Tank Math: Full or Empty?
In the "Know-How" section of the March issue, Steven J. Henkind wrote about how fuel gauges operate and how you can prevent fuel-gauge errors. Here's the mathematical formula he discussed in the story.
You can also calculate the amount of fuel in a tank mathematically. For a rectangular tank, the calculation is easy: the overall volume of the tank = Length x Width x Height; if the measured height of the fuel is M% of the height of the tank, then the fuel contained = M% x Overall Volume.
The calculation is more complicated for more complex shapes. The tank shown here is an isosceles-triangular right prism, where L is the length, W is the width, H is the height, and the two (equal) sides are both S. If h is the height of the fuel, the ratio h/H is what a fuel gauge that measures height, not volume, will display. To determine the actual volume for this example, use the following formula:
Volume = (h/H)2 x ((L x W x H)/2).
For example, if L = 4 feet, W = 3 feet, and H = 3 feet, the formula holds that when the tank is full (h=H), Volume = (1)2 x (4x3x3)/2 = 18 cubic feet. But, when the fuel gauge reads 1/2, the actual volume in the tank is (1/2)2 x (4x3x3)/2 = (1/4) x 18 = 4.5 cubic feet. In other words, although the fuel gauge reads 1/2 full (because of the (h/H) ratio), the tank in the illustration is actually only full. To convert from cubic feet to gallons, use the conversion factor 1 cubic foot = 7.48 U.S. gallons. Note also that this formula applies only to this particular shape, and different formulas are required for other shapes.

In its National Infrastructure Assessment, the Commission recommended that Ministers provide new powers and £43billion funding on top of current spending levels between now and 2040 to city leaders, including Metro Mayors, to develop long-term strategies for improving transport links. The Assessment also highlighted the need for these strategies to be unlocking job opportunities and delivering much-needed new homes.
Following the National Infrastructure Assessment, the Commission launched a partnership programme for cities and city regions across the country, to share knowledge and expertise and to help local leaders develop long-term strategies that link transport, housing and job opportunities.
On 11 September 2019 the Commission brought together metro mayors and city leaders from across the country for a Cities Summit to make the case for greater autonomy on transport decisions and longer-term funding. You can read Commission Chair Sir John Armitt's speech to the summit here and a short summary of the discussion.
Case studies of developing infrastructure strategies
Five cities and city regions have been selected to work with the Commission to benefit from expert advice as they develop strategies to improve local transport connections, unlock job opportunities and deliver much-needed new homes. The five cities and city regions will become case studies to demonstrate what cities across the country can do in this area, and of the difference that the long-term funding certainty recommended in the UK's first-ever National Infrastructure Assessment can make. The case study cities are:
- West Yorkshire Combined Authority
- Liverpool City Region
Knowledge sharing programme
The Commission is holding a series of knowledge sharing events to answer the important infrastructure questions at the forefront of city leaders' minds. These events are bringing together colleagues from a wide selection of cities, providing access to leading experts and cutting-edge ideas on these questions. Each event is focusing on a specific topic, providing an opportunity for cities that have already achieved success in that area to share their experience of how they tackled the problem and why it worked.
The events are taking place across England, from the North East down to the South West, and started by looking at the fundamentals of designing an effective infrastructure plan, covering some of the key strategic and economic considerations needed to underpin any successful integrated planning work. Below are links to summaries of those which have already taken place:

Food industry: slag removal in juice production, de-soy of soy protein, dehydration of peanut protein, scouring of animal and vegetable oils, and dehydration of fishmeal and bone glue.
Petrochemical industry: grading of older soils, grading of drilled mud, clarification of sulphuric acid, clarification of coal tar, and dehydration of dyes and barium sulphate.
Environmental protection industry: industrial abrasives, wine tanks, power plant sludge, dewatering of paper mill sludge, beer industry wastewater and steel smelting wastewater treatment.
2. Working principle of horizontal screw decanter centrifuge
The working principle of the horizontal screw decanter centrifugeis specifically: when the mixed liquid to be separated enters the centrifuge drum, the solid phase particles with a larger specific gravity in the mixed liquid are deposited on the rotating drum under the action of centrifugal force. On the inner wall, the solid phase particles are scraped off and exited from the slag discharge port by a spiral blade that moves relative to the drum, and the supernatant liquid obtained after the separation flows out of the drum through the opening of the raft, thereby achieving solid-liquid separation.
In this type of centrifuge, the relative movement between the screw and the drum is realized by a differential, the outer casing of the differential is connected to the drum, the output shaft is connected to the screw, and the input shaft and the secondary motor are connected. connection. Therefore, while the main motor electric drum rotates, it also drives the rotation of the differential housing, and drives the planetary gear to operate, and transmits the torque to the spiral according to a certain ratio, so as to achieve continuous separation of materials.
3. Working parameters of horizontal screw decanter centrifuge
Horizontal screw decanter centrifuge This kind of centrifuge has corresponding working parameters, and the user can determine the appropriate parameters according to the material properties of the suspension, the liquid phase and solid phase requirements after separation, and the processing capacity of the centrifuge. The value is to ensure that the centrifuge has good use and quality of work. In the specific working parameters, there are such parameters as the processing volume, the rotating drum speed, the difference between the rotating drum and the spiral, and the diameter of the overflow plate. After determining the appropriate value, the centrifuge can have a good separation effect. _URL_

The low-resolution images produced by infrared systems can make it difficult for night-vision users to estimate distances or identify far objects. "Resolution enhancement" attempts to address these problems by converting several low-quality images into a single, higher-quality version. Unfortunately, conventional methods of reconstructing these low-quality images are computationally intense, making them too expensive or too slow for real-time, affordable use.
Researchers in ECE's Computer Vision Laboratory have developed a new resolution enhancement technique based on super-resolution reconstruction (SRR). The new method is fast and memory efficient, providing performance comparable to previous techniques but with dramatically reduced computation requirements, according to Ph.D. student Jae Cha and his advisor, Lynn Abbott.
Their closed-form, one-pass method is much faster than existing iterative approaches. In several experiments, they demonstrated a 10-fold speed-up in computation time. The speed, combined with low memory requirements, make this method suitable for use in a low-cost distance-estimation system for infrared applications.

The Aberfoyle Park Primary School Campus is located in the Adelaide hills 18 kilometres south of the city. The concept of the Campus with State School (Thiele), Catholic Education Office (Nativity) and the Uniting Church System (Pilgrim) sharing facilities was new to South Australia and probably Australia when it was first developed.
After years of preliminary planning the joint project came to fruition at the beginning of the 1982 school year when the schools admitted their first students. The Shared facilities include an activity hall, resource centre, gymnasium and Campus staff room. Shared programs include Physical Education, Music, and Resource Based Learning. In 2001 the Aberfoyle Park Campus Preschool was opened by the Minister of Education and Children's Services. This relocated facility has a capacity of 45 children per session and is located in the grounds of the Campus. There is a strong vision and spirit of cooperation and collaboration between the four schools. Having the three schools on one site provides the following educational advantages:
- A degreeof choice for parents when deciding what kind of school they want their children to attend.
- Resources available for all three schools that could not be financed by three separate schools.
- Sharing staff expertise between the three schools
- Promoting tolerance and cooperation between the school community of children, parents and staff
The shared schools resources of the Campus community includes:
- the Central Administration
- an excellent gymnasium
- a large staff and community meeting room
- central resource area
- activity hall and canteen
- two ovals
- hard play areas
- a large central courtyard
Parents sharing on the Campus is at many levels
The parents cooperate and work together in these areas:
- Campus Conference
- Sports Teams
- Resource Centre
Parents are encouraged to be involved in decision making in the individual schools and to work with the teachers in the classroom situation. The children are encouraged to develop a sense of belonging to the Campus.
This is achieved by:
|• Wearing the same uniform
(Varied in the State Schools)
- Playing together in the playground
- Participating in Campus sports Teams
- Sharing organised activities such as Book Week,
an Arts Festival and a Science Exposition.
- Across Campus Educational Programs:
- Language other than English (LOTE)
There are many activities of an informal nature across schools:
- Going on excursions together
- School camps
- Classes working together on a shared project


Who knew: Questions answered by the Columbus Metropolitan Library
On the first Saturday of each month, Life & Arts taps into the many questions received and answered by the staff of the Columbus Metropolitan Library.
A sampling:
Q: How did the days of the week get their names?
A: The days were named by the Romans with the Latin words for the sun, the moon and the five known planets. European languages still use the original terms, but, in English, the days reflect an Anglo-Saxon influence:
Sunday is named for the sun, from the words solis (Latin) and sun (Anglo-Saxon); Monday, the moon, from lunae and moon; Tuesday, Mars, from Martis and Tiw (or Tyr, the Norse god of war); Wednesday, Mercury, from Mercurii and Woden (or Odin, the Norse equivalent of Mercury); Thursday, Jupiter, from Jovis and Thor (the Norse god of thunder, the equivalent of Jupiter); Friday, Venus, from Veneris and Frigg (the Norse goddess of love and fertility); and Saturday, Saturn, from Saturni and Saterne (the Roman god of agriculture).

Q: Of what are billiard balls made? And bowling balls?
A: Billiard balls, once consisting of wood and later ivory, are made of durable plastic materials. The composition changed because of the danger of elephants — killed for their tusks — becoming extinct. Instead of the early plastics Bakelite and crystallite, modern billiard balls are formed of acrylic, polyester or phenolic resin.
Bowling balls are made of plastic and urethane, although some professional bowlers use resin or urethane balls containing particles of glass, ceramic and other materials.

A Thousand Suns
Exercise 2: Mapping Quantities, Categories, and Summarized Data
For this second exercise, we'll be examining a simple time-series dataset: the history of nuclear testing by the eight (declared) nuclear nations. In the first phase of this project we will consider only the total number of test explosions across three dimensions:
 1. the state conducting the test
 2. the year in which it occurred
 3. whether it was aboveor underground
Despite the simplicity of the data, there are a number of ways to slice and group the data. Some things to consider:
 - Is each year plotted separately, or are the totals grouped into decades or some other multi-year chunk
 - Is time represented by position on the x or y axis? Or by angle? Or using color?
 - What are the 'objects' being represented in your diagram? Are they the countries, the years, or the individual tests?
 - How will your diagram address the 'lull' that resulted from the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty in '96 and the more recent resurgence in testing?
Starting with this project, we'll be making use of external files to separate the data we're plotting from the code that does the actual drawing. Getting this to work means becoming acquainted with a couple implementational details of the browser environment.
The first is the idea that retrieving information over the network is not instantaneous and that some time will pass between when you 'request' your data file and the moment where its contents are available to your script. To work around this, p5 allows you to define a function called preload which will run before your setup or draw functions begin. In our case, that function will be used to call either loadTable (which fetches a CSV file) or loadJSON (for, unsurprisingly, JSON data). In either case, you'll want to make sure you follow a procedure along the lines of:
var externalData; // declare a global variable to store the data
function preload() {
 // start fetching the data and assign it to your global
 externalData = loadJSON('_URL_
function setup(){
 //... use the global externalData variable here (or in draw)
The second browser-related issue is the Same-origin Policy which requires that all the files your page touches come from the same domain. Thus far, we've been opening our index.html files directly (which gives them a URL beginning with file:///). Unfortunately, this is incompatible with loading external data files, so we'll need to run a local web server (giving everything an http://localhost/ URL).
To install the server, navigate to your dvia-2018 folder in the Terminal, and then type:
npm install
After a few seconds you should see messages indicating that the 'http-server' package (among others) have been installed. This is a one-time step that won't be required again in the future.
From now on, you'll be able to start the server by navigating to that folder in the Terminal and then typing:
npm start
You'll then see a message along the lines of:
Starting up http-server, serving.
Available on:
Hit CTRL-C to stop the server
Now try pasting that http://localhost:8080 url into your browser, and then start clicking on folders to navigate to your student directory. Once you're done working, you can type Control-c in the terminal window to shut down the server (or just close its window and click the Terminate button).
Getting started
Begin your investigation with this simplified dataset collected from the Natural Resources Defense Council's pages on the original and subcontinental nuclear powers.
Examine the data subdirectory of the project folder which contains JSON & CSV versions of the table below. Then look at the scripts in the examples folder. These scripts build on our work learning the p5 drawing primitives in three major ways:
 1. setting drawing parameters with structured, tabular data rather than hard-coded values
 2. working with serialized JSON and CSV data
 3. using loops to render multiple 'instances' (a.k.a. rows) of a data set using the same procedure each time
Start by modifying the code in the example scripts and explore some of the different ways to represent the country, year, and test-count values. Make'snapshot' copies of your script as you modify it so you can build up an array of different approaches.
Next steps
Over the next week, continue working with this dataset and sketch out three different approaches to representing it in a way that tells a story.
Confine yourself to static, non-interactive representations for now, but consider any medium that could represent these values; posters, projections, and physical representations are all just as valid as pixels on a screen.
In at least one of your three variations, bring in one additional variable using data you find on the web and be sure to cite your source. This additional variable could be anything from a timeline of world events to the military budgets of the countries (or even the astrological signs of their leaders). Just make sure you can defend how it is in some way adding useful context to the data.
Feel free to use whatever tools you're comfortable with. Programmatic drawing can be very handy but so can Excel…
Data sources
This spreadsheet on Google Docs has a tidied up copy of the NRDC data and provides both the total number of tests as well as distinguishing between 'atmospheric' or 'underground' tests. Consider making use of a pivot table to modify/summarize the information, and then export it as a csv for your own usage.
Also consider taking a look at the Wikipedia page listing the various tests and providing links to country-specific pages with background information about the individual tests.
For geographical data, take a look at the materials collected at "Johnston's Archive". But keep in mind that using a map opens quite a few cans of worms, so be sure to have a clear idea of what you're trying to communicate before diving in...
Supplemental materials
I've assembled a cleaned-up csv file with most of the Johnston's Archive data. If you're looking for information about the naming schemes of the individual tests, yield estimates, locations, dates, etc. it may be helpful...
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory recently released the declassified 2400 FPS films of many of their atmospheric nuclear tests. Those of you whose projects are dealing with specific tests rather than the summary statistics may find stills from the videos useful in your work. Take a look at their playlist on YouTube.

One of the inspirations for the painting was this 1897 painting of Laelaps by Charles Knight (_PHONE_). Knight was one of the founding figures of paleoart, working more than a century ago.
He started out by drawing living animals at the zoo, then studied animal anatomy and worked at the American Museum of Natural History. Despite obstacles like vision problems, he went on to paint many murals and illustrations reconstructing extinct life forms. His work has influenced several generations of artists and filmmakers throughout the 20th century.

text: This module enables students to experience and understand the scope of media communications from essential basic presentation skills to live TV and newspaper interviews. These are key skills that students will be able to use in their other modules and work placements, and as such forms an important foundation unit to the BSc Business Communications and BSc International Business Communications. The students will develop their media skills through six 7-hour (full-day) lecture-workshops. Students are introduced to the importance of communication and media skills in the modern business environment. Students practice basic communications techniques through a prepared presentation, through which they learn voice control, public speaking and appropriate body language techniques that enable them to make a visual impact on and better engage with an audience. The semantics and rhetoric of business communications are examined and practiced through analysing presentation structures, style and language. The ability to present key findings on business issues is developed through interview and journalism skills, including background research and literature reviews, hence establishing the "key message". Students further develop presentation and communication skills through understanding the news agenda (including the socio-political undercurrents that influence media discourse). Students will also develop a basic awareness of content analysis; conversation analysis; textual analysis (in the broadest sense); visual analysis (still image) & visual analysis (moving image) and critical discourse analysis. Case studies are examined to evaluate how business secure media headlines and get ahead of the news agenda. Students practice writing news releases and structuring press release by content as well as market. Media presentation skills are further developed through radio and television interviewing (pre-recorded and live-to-air).

Cultural Marxism: Liberals oppose the CAB because of Hinduphobia which dictates that Hindus must never be recognized as Victims
It cannot be denied that Indian 'liberals' do suffer from rabid Hinduphobia. They genuinely believe there's a fascist residing in the heart of every Hindu, looking to break free and oppress the Muslims.
The Liberal Meltdown over the Citizenship Amendment Bill has been one for the ages. They appear unable to cope with the simple fact that India owes a special responsibility towards the Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan in a manner that it doesn't owe the Muslim majorities in these countries. Of course, it is something that the average Indian understands instinctively but 'liberals' don't.
There's a fundamental reason for this. In the 'liberal' world, Muslims are always the primary victims, regardless of where they are from. They are considered victims of Islamophobia, racism and a myriad of other evils even if they are living in the Islamic States. In the 'liberal' world, it is a solemn belief that the atrocities that are perpetrated against religious minorities in the Islamic States should never be acknowledged.
The Indian 'liberal' is no different. He constantly admonishes Indians who rightly believe that Pakistan is a plague upon the world. He tells us, contrary to all evidence, that the average Pakistani is just like us even as the average Pakistani constantly proves through his actions that it is not so. But there are a plethora of contradictions within the 'liberal' belief system. While India is urged to initiate dialogues with Pakistan, any attempts made by India to fulfill its traditional responsibilities is deemed as the country turning into a 'Hindu Pakistan'.
Even as Pakistan continues to function as an Islamic state which sponsors terrorism against India, 'liberals' chastize India for making efforts to provide citizenship to the religious minorities from the country. There's a good reason for these contradictory beliefs and the blame for it can be put at the feet of the pervasive theological liberal doctrine of Cultural Marxism.
In the eyes of the Indian 'liberal', a Hindu can never be a victim. It sees the Hindu-Muslim relationship as primarily an oppressor-oppressed relationship where Hindus are always the oppressors and Muslims always the oppressed. Consequently, no attempt is made to highlight the instances where Hindus are the victims of Islamic radicalism and even when such cases are highlighted, special care is taken to ensure that emphasis isn't laid on the religious identity of the oppressors even if it had played a major role.
The same worldview is then projected into the relationship of other countries. Indian 'liberals' genuinely believe that recognizing the fact that non-Muslims suffer institutional persecution in the Islamic States will affect Hindu-Muslim relationships in India although there's no obvious reason why it should. They are terrified that recognising such atrocities against Hindus will affect the manner in which India treats its Muslim citizenry. Due to its biased lens, it cannot even bring itself to recognize basic facts about the world.
Cultural Marxism divides the World in black and white even though the world, in reality, is mostly different varieties of grey. In that world, majority is always the Oppressor and the minority is always the Oppressed. One would assume that such a worldview would be applied uniformly throughout the world. However, it's always imposed upon the world from the point of reference of one's own residence.
Thus, according to an Indian 'liberal', India must never recognize the fact that non-Muslims are persecuted in neighbouring Islamic States. Recognition of such is considered another excuse to justify the oppression of its Muslim minority. There is, of course, no evidence that the Indian State is perpetually in the process of oppressing its Muslim population. There's no evidence that the Indian State has ever engaged in a motivated campaign to oppress its Muslim population. But that is how Cultural Marxism views the world: The majority is always engaged in the perpetual oppression of the minority.
It cannot be denied that Indian 'liberals' do suffer from rabid Hinduphobia. They genuinely believe there's a fascist residing in the heart of every Hindu, looking to break free and oppress the Muslims. They also believe genuinely that every Muslim is a victim, even the radicalized ones are considered victims. It is argued that the Radicalized Muslims turned out the way they did because the Hindu dominated society did not treat them fairly.
Under such circumstances, it's not really a surprise that Indian 'liberals', who wholeheartedly believe in the theological doctrine of Cultural Marxism, are opposing the Citizenship Amendment Bill tooth and nail. Hindus must never be recognized as victims, according to them, because it's too dangerous. They earnestly believe that the only reason to recognize the oppression of non-Muslims in the Islamic States is to justify India's alleged oppression of its own Muslims.
