What is hypokalemia?
Hypokalemia is a condition where the potassium level in the blood is
too low. There are a number of symptoms associated with hypokalemia
but the most commonly noticed symptom is muscle weakness or pain, especially
weakness of the neck. Other symptoms are less specific and include weight
loss, lack of appetite, poor quality hair coat, and lethargy. Some cats
with low blood potassium have no obvious signs.
How do cats get hypokalemia?
There are several ways that a cat can become hypokalemic but the most
common cause of hypokalemia is chronic renal insufficiency, or chronic
renal failure. In this condition, a cat loses excess potassium in the
urine, is not able to absorb enough from the stomach and intestines,
and frequently is anorexic and so does not take in enough potassium.
Feline diets which are high in protein or are used to make urine more
acidic (urinary care diets) can make hypokalemia worse.
How is hypokalemia diagnosed?
Hypokalemia is diagnosed from a blood sample. Potassium is measured
in the serum portion of the blood. The potassium measured is free potassium
which is a very small fraction of the total potassium in a cat's body.
Most of the potassium in the body is inside cells and can not be accurately
measured. Measurement of serum potassium level is a good but not always
completely accurate measure of total body potassium.
If a blood sample indicates that hypokalemia or chronic renal insufficiency
is present, appropriate treatment will be recommended. Once treatment
is started, a cat's blood potassium must be monitored to make sure it
is at a safe level - not too high or too low.
How is hypokalemia treated?
If a cat has very few symptoms or non-life threatening symptoms of hypokalemia,
an oral potassium supplement will be prescribed to treat hypokalemia.
Cats that are extremely weak and having breathing or heart problems
will need to be hospitalized for intravenous potassium supplementation.
Cats that do not have symptoms of hypokalemia but may have other symptoms
such as vomiting or anorexia may be hospitalized to treat the vomiting
and dehydration. Potassium will likely be given intravenously to these
cats as well. Once a cat is out of the hospital, oral potassium supplementation
will be continued to make sure the blood potassium level remains normal.
Follow-ups to test blood potassium as well as other things will be necessary.
My cat's potassium is low but he has no symptoms - should he
Cats that have hypokalemia but have no symptoms need to be
treated with oral potassium supplements. Low potassium contributes to
renal damage and may make kidney disease worse.
My cat's potassium is normal but he has chronic renal insufficiency
- should he be treated?
Cats that have blood potassium levels that are in the low half of the
normal range should be considered for treatment. Since blood potassium
levels are not 100% accurate at measuring total body potassium, a potassium
reading in the low half of the normal range can indicate that total
body potassium is low in a cat with chronic renal insufficiency. Since
preventing hypokalemia and its associated continuing kidney damage is
an important part of preserving a cat's quality and length of life,
cats with low normal blood potassium may need a supplement. In most
instances, any excess oral potassium given to the cat will be eliminated
in the urine. It is still very important to have the cat's blood potassium

Science of Parenting: Help Children Cope with Anger
AMES, Iowa — Sometimes life is not fair — and that really can make a child mad. But adults can help children learn how to cope with their anger in positive ways. During February, family life specialists Donna Donald and Lori Hayungs offer tips for parents and teachers in the Science of Parenting blog from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
"Just like adults, children can get mad, stressed and frustrated. If children don't know how to cope with anger, stress and frustration in positive ways, it can build up over time. Then parents, teachers and the children themselves will have problems," Donald said.
"This month we'll share ideas on how adults can help children learn how to handle anger effectively," Hayungs added. "We'll also talk about when it may be appropriate to seek professional help for a child with anger issues."
Through the Science of Parenting, _URL_, ISU Extension and Outreach specialists share and discuss research-based information and resources to help parents rear their children. Parents can join in the conversation and share thoughts and experiences, as well as how they handle parenting responsibilities.

Dry sponges placed in flowing water (as opposed to water source blocks) have no effect on the water and remain dry.
- Place a water source block on a flat area and allow it to spread
- Place a dry sponge block in the flowing water at least one block away from the water source
The water surrounding the sponge is removed for several blocks, including the water source so that all the water disappears. The sponge becomes wet.
No effect on the water at all. The sponge remains dry.
Edit (and facepalm): If the sponge is placed in the source block, the effect should spread to the flowing water but does not. Flowing water is just not affected at all by the sponge.

Place the glass beakers on their desks. Begin by placing two objects (e.g., corn or plastic beads) in it. The beaker represents the limits of an ecosystem or ultimately the earth. Place 10 cups in a row on their desk. In the first cup, place two objects. In the second cup, place twice as many objects as the first cup (four). Have students record the number of objects on the outside of the cup. Continue this procedure by placing twice as many objects as in the former cup, or doubling the number, in cups 3 through 10. Be sure students record the numbers on the cups. Take the beaker and determine its height. Have students indicate the approximate percentage of volume that is without objects. Record this on the table as 0 time. At timed intervals of 30 seconds, add the contents of cups 1 through 10. Students should record the total population and approximate percentage of volume in the beaker that is without objects. Students should complete the procedure and graph their results as total population versus results. Students may question the need for the 30-second intervals. The length of the time interval is arbitrary. Any time interval will do. Preparation of the graph can be assigned as homework. Range of Results The mathematics involved in answering the questions may challenge some students. Assist students when necessary to enable them to accomplish the objectives of the investigation. Table 1 shows the population and the percent of the beaker's volume without objects. A typical student graph is shown in Figure 1. Explain Ask the students to explain the relationship between population growth and biological evolution in populations of microorganisms, plants, and animals. Through questions and discussion, help them develop the connections stated in the learning outcome for the activity. Evolution results from an interaction of factors related to the potential for species to increase in numbers, the genetic variability in a population, the supply of essential resources, and environmental pressures for selection of those offspring that are able to survive and reproduce. Elaborate Begin by having students explain the results of their activity. During the discussion of the graph, have the students consider some of the following: Are there any limitations to the number of people the earth will support? Which factor might limit population growth first? How does this factor relate to human evolution? Are Table 1 Population growth Time Internal Population Percentage of empty volume (400-ml beaker) 0 2 99% 1 4 99% 2 8 99% 3 16 98% 4 32 97% 5 64 95% 6 128 93% 7 256 88% 8 512 80% 9 1024 70% 10 2048 50% 11 4096 0%

Teaching About Evolution and the Nature of Science Figure 1 Sample population growth graph there areas in the world where these limits have been reached already? Have we gone beyond the earth's ideal population yet? What problems will we face if we overpopulate the earth? How might human influence on, for example, habitats affect biological evolution. Students' answers to these questions will vary, depending on their background and information. The outcome, however, should be an intense discussion of some vital problems and should provide opportunities to introduce the fundamental concepts from the National Science Education Standards. Evaluation Human population on the earth is thought to have had a slow start, with doubling periods as long as 1 million years. The current world population is thought to be doubling every 37 years. How would this growth rate compare with the rates found in your investigation? Both the population in the investigation and on the earth increase in a geometric progression. This means the graphs have the same shape. You can substitute 37 years for every 30-second interval and the numbers will represent actual world population growth. The slope of the graph would remain the same. What happens to populations when they reach the limits to growth? The populations stop growing because death rates (or emigration) exceed birth rates (or immigration).

Therefore, I need to be able to draw many different strings at many different angles.

Draw text into a temporary blank image, rotate that, then paste that onto the original image. You could wrap up the steps in a function. Good luck figuring out the exact coordinates to use - my cold-fogged brain isn't up to it right now.
This demo writes yellow text on a slant over an image:
# Demo to add rotated text to an image using PIL
import Image
import ImageFont, ImageDraw, ImageOps
f = ImageFont.load_default()
txt=Image.new('L', (500,50))
d = ImageDraw.Draw(txt)
d.text( (0, 0), "Someplace Near Boulder", font=f, fill=255)
w=txt.rotate(17.5, expand=1)
im.paste( ImageOps.colorize(w, (0,0,0), (255,255,84)), (242,60), w)

It's also usefull to know our text's size in pixels before we create an Image object. I used such code when drawing graphs. Then I got no problems e.g. with alignment of data labels (the image is exactly as big as the text).
img_main = Image.new("RGB", (200, 200))
font = ImageFont.load_default()
# Text to be rotated...
rotate_text = u'This text should be rotated.'
# Image for text to be rotated
img_txt = Image.new('L', font.getsize(rotate_text))
draw_txt = ImageDraw.Draw(img_txt)
draw_txt.text((0,0), rotate_text, font=font, fill=255)
t = img_value_axis.rotate(90, expand=1)
The rest of joining the two images together is already described on this page. When you rotate by an "unregular" angle, you have to improve this code a little bit. It actually works for 90, 180, 270...

I'm not saying this is going to be easy, or that this solution will necessarily be perfect for you, but look at the documentation here:
and especially pay attention to the Image, ImageDraw, and ImageFont modules.
Here's an example to help you out:
import Image
im = Image.new("RGB", (100, 100))
import ImageDraw
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
draw.text((50, 50), "hey")
To do what you really want you may need to make a bunch of separate correctly rotated text images and then compose them all together with some more fancy manipulation. And after all that it still may not look great. I'm not sure how antialiasing and such is handled for instance, but it might not be good. Good luck, and if anyone has an easier way, I'd be interested to know as well.

When programming Clojure, sometimes you need the equivalent of Common Lisp's
prog1 macro. It's like Clojure's
do except that it returns the value of the
first form, not the last one.
You could depend on useful, which calls it
(defmacro returning "Compute a return value, then execute other forms for side effects. Like prog1 in common lisp, or a (do) that returns the first form." [value & forms] '(let [value# ~value] ~_USER_ value#))
Of course, when you're in a hurry, there's no time for adding new dependencies.
There's not even time to write your own inline version of the macro. Besides,
they say that you shouldn't ever write your own macros. So what do you do? You
(doto x (do (y) (z))) ;; returns x
But maybe instead of
x you have
(a complicated form) and you want to give
its result a name. Luckily there's
(doto (a complicated form) (as-> x (do (y x) (z x))))
When you're debugging a long
-> thread, a print function that returns the
printed value would be handy so you could insert it in the middle of the chain.
This is of course exactly what tools.trace is for. But again, who has
time for adding dependencies? Just use
(-> thing do-something-1 do-something-2 (doto prn) do-something-3)
By the way, the other day I wrote this macro that resembles
(defmacro if-> [expr cond then else] '(let [e# ~expr] (if ~cond (-> e# ~then) (-> e# ~else))))
I used it with a builder object. The code looked something like this:
(-> (Builder.) (.withSetting "password" "kissa2") (if-> production-mode? (.useProductionMode) (.useTestingMode)) (.build))
Can somebody figure out how to do that nicely without writing a macro?

Validators supplied in the VAB
Validators supplied in the VAB
 - Comments 35
We're making great progress with the Validation Application Block in Enterprise Library 3.0, and one of the last remaining tasks is to make sure we include a compelling set of validators with the block. While it's very easy to build your own validator, we don't want everyone to need to build the same validators for each project just because we forgot to include something important.
Here's the set of validators we're currently planning to include - but it's not too late to set us straight if we've missed something! A few things to note are:
 - All of these validators can be used from the API, attributes or configuration, although the syntax will vary across these mechansims.
 - Some of the validators will use generic parameters, such as RangeValidator. When used from the API, you will be able to use the validator with any type (subject to the generic parameter's constraints). However since you can't use generics in the same way from configuration or attributes, you'll only be able to use common primitive types from these mechanisms.
 - All of our validators will include a Negate property, which will change the validator's behavior so that it will fail if the condition is met, rather than when it is not met. This will let you do things like use the "Contains Characters Validator" to check that a string does not contain characters.
First, here are the planned "basic" validators:
 - Not Null Validator: Validates that a value is not null
 - Range Vailidator (generic, supporting IComparable types): Validates that a value falls within a specified range. The range may be closed or open ended, and may be inclusive or exclusive.
 - Relative DateTime Validator: Validates that a DateTime falls within a specified range, relative to now. The range may be closed or open ended, and may be inclusive or exclusive. For example, you could check if a date is between now and 100 years from now, or from 20 days ago to 4 days from now.
 - String Length Validator: Validates that a string is of a certain length. May contain a minimum, a maximum or both.
 - RegEx Validator: Validates that a string matches a specified regular expression. We'll also include support for "pre-canned" RegEx patterns for common things such as URLs, e-mail addresses, phone numbers etc.
 - Contains Characters Validator: Validates that a string contains any, or all of the characters in a specified string.
 - Type Conversion Validator: Validates that a string can be converted to a specific type (using a specific culture). For example, this could check that "6.32" can be converted to a Double, or "2007-02-09" can be converted to a DateTime.
 - Enum Conversion Validator: Validates that a string can be converted to a value in a specified enum type. For example, this could check that "Blue" could be converted to a value in the Color enum.
 - Domain Validator (generic): Validates that a value is included in a specified set, such as {"John", "Paul", "George", "Ringo"} or {2, 3, 5, 7, 11}. If the set only contains one value, this validator can be used to check for equality.
Next, here are our planned "composition" validators:
 - And Composite Validator: Indicates that all of a set of child validators must pass
 - Or Composite Validator: Indicates that just one of a set of child validators must pass.
Finally, here are our planned "value access" validators, which can be used to specify validation rules on complex objects:
 - Property: Applies a validator to a property of an object
 - Field: Applies a validator to a field of an object
 - Method: Applies a validator to the result of a method of an object (can only be used for methods with no parameters and a non-void result, such as ToString()).
 - Object: Specifies that a nested object needs to be validated by a particular rule set.
 - Collection: Specifies that a nested collection of objects needs to be validated by a particular rule set.
Did we miss anything important?
 - Is there just a standard ComparisionValidator where you can say like 'greater than -1'.
 - Kristian - you can do this with the RangeValidator (by only specifying one boundary).
 - In addition to the And Validator and the Or Validator, what about something in-between (I don't have a good name now) which can validate that at least X conditions in the set are met.
 So, if you have 5 validators, and you want to be sure at least 3 of 5 are met (perhaps this is "good enough" quality for data input).
 Between those three, and the "Negate" property you mentioned, it should be possibly to express fairly complex validation when needed.
 - How about a support for contexts,
 i.e. I have a user class and this user can actually be multiple types of user (standard, power, ultimate).
 I'd like the ability to specify validate for a given context e.g. ValidationMananger.Validate(User, Context) [please not I have not used any part of the block and the example is simply that]. So a bit like composite validator but you don't need to know which rules will fire....just that given the current context the right ones will fire.
 I'm sure there are other ways you could get around it....but just a suggestion.
 - John - actually we already support this, through the concept of "rulesets" which are named collections of validators. The syntax is almost the same as what you specified:
 ValidationResults results = Validation.Validate(myUser, "Power");
 - To be robust it should match the feature set of Peter Blum's validation package for ASP.Net. Multi-condition, centralized message panel to name a few.
 - What about a CompareValidator that can reference another Field/Property/Method/etc... not to compare to a literal, but (for example) to compare two password entries.
 - This is small thing, but you may consider this: DoesFileExist(filepath) and DoesFileNotExist.
 first check that the file path is not nothing and not empty then check the existence of the file (File.Exist).
 - I agree with IDisposable... It would be nice to have an out-of-the-box validator that knows how to compare two properties, for cases like start/end date input, repeat password, etc.
 - Two points:
 1) Unless I'm missing something the proposed architecture can't handle co-occurance constraints (e.g. "If Customer.OccupationType = 'Employed' Then Customer.Occupation.Address is required").
 2) I'm not sure I want my validation logic in code in the first place. It seems like the better place for this is in a rules engine which your entities can call out to validate themselves. Validation rules change. They change often enough that I'd rather re-publish a rules update then re-compiling/deploying code. Finally, a rules engine has no problem with point 1) above.
 - Quote
 end quote
 If not this, this validation should offer one-to-one mapping to validation controls. So that I can programmaticaly inject this validation controls counterpart control to my page easily. If I can do that, I will have best of both worlds. Defense in depth. My services will be validated also my client will have javascript support.
 - Tom,
 How about handling semi-mandatory data based on certain other input value conditions?
 - What about Parameter validation. Often when you write methods you want to do simple checks to ensure that the values passed in are correct or in a certain range. It would be awesome to be able to drop for example a [NotNullValidator] a parameter to a method rather than having to manually code the checks. Another place this could be used is in a class constructor.
 - I totally agree with Glenn's comment about Parameter Validation; that would be one of the biggest benefits in my mind. If you could write;
 public void GetSomething(
 [NotNullValidator] string myName,
 [RangeValidator(1, 100) int myAge)
 ... the boiler-plate code at the start of each method would be so much simpler, and code requirements and intentions would be more obvious from method definitions.
 - The Parameter Validation sounds like a great idea! But I'd want it for my methods, so I could write something like this:
 [Validate:NotNullOrEmptyString(boo), NotNull(hoo)]
 public int Foo(string boo, FooBoo hoo) {

Scaling of DFT calculations with system size
Tags: DFT
As I made clear in my previous tutorial blog, I think that it is important for people using DFT codes to understand some of the internal mechanics. This blog will deal with another technical issue: scaling of the problem with system size.
Why should this matter? Pragmatically, it is important to know both how long your simulation is likely to take before starting in on it and how large a computational resource you may need. This will also determine whether you can ask certain questions in your simulations: if they will require unreasonable timescales or computer resources[1] then a different study should be designed. There are two key resources: total run time, and memory required. I will discuss run time below; the memory required in general scales with the square of the system size.
The overall scaling of standard DFT codes is often given as \(N^{3}\), where \(N\) is some measure of system size (whether number of atoms, number of bands or number of basis functions). In plane wave codes, the basis set increases with unit cell volume independently of number of atoms or bands, and this affects the amount of vacuum that is used in surface or molecular studies. However, the simple form of scaling is the only factor: the pre-factor is important, as is the quantity that scales.
Prefactors will determine the system size at which cubic scaling will become dominant: if the cubic scaling operation has a very small cost compared to a quadratic or linear scaling operation, it will only become significant with large system sizes. This is one reason why linear scaling DFT codes are not more widely used: the pre-factor, at the moment, is rather large. The question of what scales contributes to the pre-factor: to stay with the plane wave example, the number of plane waves is much larger than the number of bands, so an operation that scales as \(N_{bands} \times N_{PW}\) will be much cheaper than one that scales as \(N_{PW} \times N_{PW}\).
The total energy in DFT is often found by adding different contributions, and these scale differently. The Hartree energy, along with the local pseudopotential energy and the exchange-correlation energy, is found as an integral of a potential with a charge density, and scales linearly with the system size. The kinetic energy requires an integral for each band, and so scales as \(N_{bands} \times N_{PW}\) (we can substitute the number of points on a real-space grid for the number of plane waves if this is how the integral is performed), though this has a small pre-factor.
The most expensive part of the energy is the non-local pseudopotential energy, which also scales as \(N_{bands} \times N_{PW}\), but has a larger pre-factor. It is more efficient to evaluate this energy using non-local projector functions in real-space than in reciprocal space, but it is still a high cost. In plane wave codes, fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) are also expensive: they scale as \(N_{bands} \times N_{PW} ln N_{PW}\) when all wavefunctions are transformed. Fortunately, they are highly optimised on modern computers; they do, however, involve communication between all processes on a parallel machine, which limits their scaling with number of processes[2].
The cubic scaling that limits DFT approaches actually comes from the requirement to orthogonalise the eigenstates to each other (in a code which optimises the wavefunctions rather than diagonalising the Hamiltonian—which also scales with the cube of the matrix size). This operation cannot be avoided, but does have a small pre-factor, so only becomes significant at large system sizes.
One factor which actually improves scaling is the Brillouin zone sampling. All of the operations described above have to be performed at each k-point, giving a prefactor of \(N_k\) to each cost. As we go to larger system sizes the Brillouin zone sampling required reduces, and the net cost of a simulation scales more slowly than might be expected. However, once truly large systems have been reached, this factor goes to one and cubic scaling dominates.
It is important, therefore, to build up an understanding of how long different calculations will take to run with small simulations, before embarking on a larger simulation. It is also important to realise that parallel scaling is not perfect, and the speed-up gained from increasing the number of processes will be lower than linear (though the memory requirements per process will improve). I should also note that it is possible to achieve linear scaling of computational cost (both in time and memory), and to go to millions of atoms[3].
[1] It is important to remember that time on high-performance computing (HPC) resources is often restricted and awarded through grants, so needs to be used wisely.
[2] Since modern CPUs are multi-core and even run more threads than there are cores, it makes most sense to refer to the number of processes running than the number of CPUs/cores.

Musings is a collection of thoughts, memories and contemplations about inner and outer life experiences. The work is best described via a series of definitions and sentences that, like the work itself, are fragmented bits of understanding.
Definition of MUSING:
1. To think or meditate in silence, as on some subject
2. To gaze meditatively or wonderingly
3. Think about, dream
4. To comment thoughtfully or ruminate upon
5. Formation of mental objects
1. Deeply or seriously thoughtful
2. Meditative, pensive
3. A calm, lengthy, intent consideration
Examples of MUSING in a sentence:
1."He was clearly in a musing mood, and did not feel like talking just then."
2."The band sings mostly in French, with some excellent social comment, including musings on the butts of cigarettes."
3."It has been linked to the production of birdsong and the ultrasonic musings of mice."
4."Private musings: how diaries serve as food for thought and creative works of art."


VR Profiling Interpretations and Considerations
Things to keep in mind when interpreting the data from profiling tools.
While profiling tools can provide data about how your project is performing in VR, there are some points to consider when interpreting those values.
Delays can appear in odd places in the GPU and CPU profilers, most often as occlusion or scene graph traversal time. If those numbers are abnormally high, it's possible that it's a false positive.
Often when profiling, you'll notice that you pop between 90 Hz and 45 Hz. The difference is accounted for because the Compositor acts much like a vsync. If you miss framerate, it delays you until the next frame entirely. So, you tend to go down in brackets of 90 / n, where n is a whole number. Because the fps reporting is an average, it won't always report as a whole number, unless the drop is sustained. If you're bouncing back and forth between making framerate and not, you may see some fraction of a jump.
If you'd like to remove this for testing, sometimes it's useful to run the game emulating stereo rendering, instead of running in the device itself. To do so:
 - Launch the game with -game -emulatestereo -res=2160x1200 on the commandline
 - Ensure vsync is off with r.vsync 0 in the console
 - Update the screen percentage to emulate the oversampling we have to do for VR with r.screenpercentage 137 in the console
This will emulate the GPU and CPU performance characteristics without the annoyances of the variable framerate.
It's worth explicitly noting that if you're hitting 90 frames a second most of the time, and then make a change and notice a drastic drop, you're probably falling prey to the Compositor "vsync" issue noted above. As soon as you tip over the cliff, you'll see drastic changes in numbers.

When you are attempting to ascertain what your MySQL server is doing, it can be helpful to examine the process list, which is the set of threads currently executing within the server. Process list information is available from these sources:
Access to threads does not require a mutex and has minimal impact on server performance. INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST and SHOW PROCESSLIST have negative performance consequences because they require a mutex. threads also shows information about background threads, which INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST and SHOW PROCESSLIST do not. This means that threads can be used to monitor activity the other thread information sources cannot.
Each process list entry contains several pieces of information:

Living together as a couple before marriage has greatly increased since the 1900's. It has also increased to 30 % since the last decade. Why do people live together before marriage? The first is because of our culture. It is naturally not appropriate to live together before marriage in our society. It means a violation of the religious and also of our society. Since religious ways have become less acceptable and family setting more open-minded, the old rules and customs have significantly dropped and now more couples are living together before marriage. When asked why couples live together the answer is normally economic benefits, rent assistance, and utilities.
However, the most popular deduction, in this case, is actually to become compatible as a husband and wife in the long run. Also, evidence suggests that living together before marriage highly decreases the chance of divorce. But it's far from being the truth. From the religious perspective, the question of living together before marriage is a "No". While on the modern perspective, it is definitely a "Yes". It might seem right that the prospect of living together or premarital sex might increase the intimacy of both the partners and would make them better informed to make sound decisions in their relationships. Hence it would build a strong marriage in the end. But a study conducted in the 1970s showed quite the opposite. It showed that living together before marriage leads to actually more marital unhappiness and maybe divorce. The study also described that the couples living together before marriage were more prone to splitting up than their opposites. The researchers named it the Cohabitation Effect.
This cohabitation effect is based on various factors both societal and also psychological. Even if the couple didn't split up after marriage, there is still enough evidence which showed that they are more unhappy in their marriage than those who lived together after marriage. Another research also showed that the spouses who cohabited pre-marriage were more sulky and negative than the couples moved in after marriage. The reason was that as the cohabitation stage begins, a partial commitment pattern stars to be visible in our lives which becomes ingrained and it runs all our married life. Studies have suggested to stay and keep the relationship healthy and strong, important transitions are necessary. It might include whether to have sex or not, to have a baby or not or maybe to live together. This discussion will provide mutual involvement for both the partners and also help decide the future for both of them.
When a couple starts to live together in an apartment with their normal utilities the will to break up becomes very difficult. It is because once two lives are mingled into one, splitting them and starting over again will be a lot of pain for both partners. That is why more prefer to go on as it is because that seems easier. But later this process becomes a real struggle. There is no absolute solution to this but if both the partners to agree to live together, they have to make decisions from an "our" perspective.

Successful Environment Projects
Based on the results of the Lions Clubs Service Activity Report, Lions have dedicated more than 9 million hours to protecting the environment in the last ten years. Environment projects have included tree planting, recycling, education, environmental clean-up, water preservation, and green technology projects as well as involvement in environmental advocacy/governance.
- Memorial Forest (Dist. 36-O, USA): Oregon Lions worked with Lion Frank Lockyear to create a Vietnam Memorial Forest. This environment project, called "Say Yes to Trees," will plant 60,000 trees to memorialize every fallen American in Vietnam.
- International Reforestation Cooperation (Dist. J-1, URUGUAY): The Punte del Este and Montevideo Pocitos Lions Clubs created a local Joint Commission of Agriculture to promote the planting of 50 million trees. This reforestation effort grew from the club to the district level. Lions expanded the project by working with district governors in Georgia and Florida (USA) who donated pine seeds compatible with growing conditions in Uruguay.
- Trees for Africa (MD 105, ENGLAND): Lions in MD 105, in concert with the Europa Forum, financed the planting of trees in Africa through twinned clubs. European Lions financed the trees, and African Lions provided progress updates and verified the planting.
- Student Memorial Forest (Dist. 324-C2, INDIA): The Lions Club of Snehapuri donated trees for a school planting project. Each student watered his or her own tree. Name plates affixed to the saplings identified each tree.
- Recycling Center (Dist. 17-SW, USA): Lions of Stafford, KS (pop. 2,000) organized a recycling center that processes 5,000 pounds of trash every two weeks. Working with commissioners, the city engineer and other interested parties, Lions arranged for an empty building to be the recycling center, and a local waste disposal company to pick up aluminum, plastic, newspaper and glass. The unmanned facility is opened and closed daily by local police.
- Reusable Beverage Cups (Dist. 111-SM, GERMANY): At a Christmas fair, the Bad Wimpfen Lions Club initiated a concept to sell beverages in reusable cups. The achievement earned the club an environment certificate from the mayor.
- Promoting Improved Disposal (Dist. 310-B, THAILAND): Many restaurants, schools and homes dump cooking grease in waterways. Accumulated grease hardens in outbound pipes and blocks water flow or causes grease to overflow into the public drainage system. To solve this problem, the Lions devised a simple method to trap grease and collect it in a bin. Later, the grease is buried under trees as fertilizer or dried in the sun to become charcoal.
- Noise Pollution (MD A, CANADA): Canadian clubs compiled statistical data on the effects of noise pollution, which resulted in a report that serves as a prototype for clubs in other countries interested in adressing noise pollution issues.
- Multi-Faceted Program (MD 103, FRANCE): Various service projects addressed different aspects of the environment, including a recycling program, a tree planting program, the clearing of a nature trail and preservation of a species of wild birds of prey. Lions also removed air pollution damage from religious and cultural monuments, and held district seminars on improving the environment.
- Save the Himalayas (Dist. 322-B, INDIA): A bicycle rally created awareness of the environmental crisis facing the Himalaya Mountains and the Ganges River.
- Save the Rhino Project (Dist. 412, ZIMBABWE): The Lions Club of Umfuli dedicated a fundraiser to save the black rhinoceros. Contributions from the successful benefit ball totaled US$70,000.
- Hawaiian Island Clean-Up Campaign (Dist. 50, USA): The Kihei Lions Club supports annual clean up, forestation and preservation efforts on their island.
- Cemetery Clean-Up (Dist. 335-A, JAPAN): The Akashi Futami Lions Club sponsors three cemetery cleanup projects per year, where they pull weeds and pick up litter.
- Noxious Weed Eradication (Dist. 323-D, INDIA): The Miraj Lions Club organized an environment project to collect and destroy Parthenium Grass (Gajar Gawat), which poses a health threat to the community. The club paid workers to remove the grass.
- Purifying the Seas (Dist. 108-Y, ITALY): The Agrigento Lions Club created a plan to save the Mediterranean Sea in accordance with the United Nations' Blue Plan. The club sponsors lectures, holds informational programs on safeguarding the Mediterranean from pollution and holds fundraisers to support this program.
- Ecosystem Preservation (Dist. 111-NB, GERMANY): Lions aided in the reconstruction of a river ecosystem by altering the path of a local river. Lions will also help restore the river and an accompanying bird sanctuary.
- River Clean Up (Dist. 333-B, JAPAN): The Utosonomiya Lions Club cleaned a local river and then stocked it with fish.
- Potable Water (Dist. 411, TANZANIA): Local Lions clubs donated a safe drinking water system to the town of Morogoro. More than 1,000 residents have benefited from having access to safe drinking water.
- Solar Energy for a Recycling Center (Dist. 36-R, USA): The Eugene Bethel Lions Club in Oregon developed an experimental solar unit to use as an energy source for their community recycling center.
- Electric Car (Dist. 103-IP, FRANCE): Lion Michel Baury, Chairman of the National Committee on the Environment, helped develop an electric traction car. He worked with the City of Paris, and organizations including the UNEP, the Committee for the European Year of the Environment and the Electricite de France to complete his car. In 1990, he raced his car in the International Formula E Grand Prix of Touquet and a year later, entered it in the Vincennes Grand Prix.
- International Court for the Environmental Safeguard of the Mediterranean Sea (MD 108, ITALY): Lions developed an international court to preserve their water source. The court maintains a seat in Rome, and has 18 member countries. It reviews violations compromising the equilibrium of the environment or those living in the area. Sentences, arbitrations and declarations according to international rules are served to those responsible for damaging the Sea.
- Suggesting Improvements (Dist. B-9, MEXICO): The district advocated that local government agencies institute strict control of the area's air, land and water. The Lions proposed emission controls and increased oversight of landfill usage. In addition, they suggested a new sewage system to eliminate contamination of the general drainage system while effectively recycling water.

text: Exquisite workmanship and lavish use of precious materials distinguish this sword as a princely weapon and exemplifies the opulence and refinement of Ottoman luxury arts. Almost identical to a yatagan (now in the Topkapi Palace, Istanbul) made in 1526–27 by the court jeweler Ahmed Tekel, for the Ottoman sultan Süleyman the Magnificent (r. 1520–66), this sword was undoubtedly made in the same imperial workshop. The gold incrustation on the blade depicts a combat between a dragon and a phoenix against a background of foliate scrolls. These figures, like the gold-inlaid cloud bands and foliate scrolls on the ivory grips, are Chinese in inspiration, and were probably introduced into Ottoman art through contacts with Persia. This sword is one of the earliest known yatagans, distinctly Turkish weapons characterized by a double-curved blade and a hilt without a guard. Yatagans were commonplace in Turkey and the Balkans in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and served as sidearms for the elite troops known as janissaries.

Copyright Trolling, An Empirical Study
44 Pages Posted: 6 Mar 2014 Last revised: 25 Aug 2014
Date Written: August 24, 2014
This detailed empirical and doctrinal study of copyright trolling presents new data showing the astonishing rate of growth of multi-defendant John Doe litigation in United States district courts over the past decade. It also presents new evidence of the association between this form of litigation and allegations of infringement concerning pornographic films. Multi-defendant John Doe lawsuits have become the most common form of copyright litigation in several U.S. districts, and in districts such as the Northern District of Illinois, copyright litigation involving pornography accounts for more than half of new cases filed.
This Article highlights a fundamental oversight in the extant literature on copyright trolls. Paralleling discussions in patent law, scholars addressing the troll issue in copyright have applied status-based definitions to determine who is, and is not, a troll. This Article argues that the definition should be conduct-based. Multi-defendant John Doe litigation should be counted as part of copyright trolling whenever these suits are motivated by a desire to turn litigation into an independent revenue stream. Such litigation, when initiated with the aim of turning a profit in the courthouse as opposed to seeking compensation or deterring illegal activity, reflects a kind of systematic opportunism that fits squarely within the concept of litigation trolling. This Article shows that existing status-based definitions of copyright trolls are inapt because they do not account for what is now the most widely practiced from of trolling.
In addition to these empirical and theoretical contributions, this Article explores the features of copyright doctrine that have facilitated the recent explosion in trolling litigation in the form of litigation against John Does. In particular, it shows how statutory damages and permissive joinder make multi-defendant John Doe litigation possible and why allegations of infringement concerning pornographic films are particularly well-suited to this model.

Network architecture for large-scale CVE
Jiang, Bo Hong
Date of Issue2000
School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
This dissertation begins with a literature survey of the considerations for CVE system, data distribution and related works. A hybrid client-server with peer-to-peer audio/video communication network architecture is then proposed and implemented to address the issue of potential server bottleneck. The proposed architecture solves the Acting Server's potential bottleneck problem for including video/audio communication in CVE systems. Through directly streaming media communication between users, the workload of Acting Server is reduced tremendously. Thus each Acting Server can maintain the static and dynamic data efficiently, handle more simultaneous access to the same virtual environment, and make the system more robust and fault tolerant. It provides a solution to scalability of CVE system that supports audio/video real time communication.

Two Methods:Playing Slender in Classic ModeUnlocking Other Modes
If you've downloaded the indie survival horror game, Slender: The Eight Pages, you may find it to be difficult to complete. Not to fear! This article will provide you all the steps you will need to beat the game and triumph over the Slender Man. No security blanket, night light, or pacifier needed.
Method 1 of 2: Playing Slender in Classic Mode
 1. 1
 Google a map of the Slender forest on the Internet. Since you're already on this page, one can be found here. Memorize it till you're certain you'll be able to navigate your way through it. There are 10 unique landmarks, and 8 notes spread randomly amongst them.
 - There being 10 locations ensures a different game each time. Not finding a note where you expect to find one (if you've been counting on it) is the easiest way to lose the game.
 2. 2
 Start the game. Slender Man will not appear before you attain the first note, so use this to your advantage. Turn off your flashlight during this period to save the batteries. It will eventually shut off if you take too long. You may like to spend this "down time" checking out the landmarks beforehand to find out where the notes are positioned.
 - However, you're not allowed to dilly-dally as long as you please. The longer you take between pages, the harder the game will get. You'll know when this initial grace period is over when you hear a stomping sound in the background.
 - The same sound is heard when you do collect the first page.
 3. 3
 Obtain the note in the bathroom at the centre of the map first. This, in theory, saves you from being ambushed or trapped by Slender Man later. If it's not there, simply continue onwards.
 - Getting the center out of the way is your best bet. That way, you don't have backtrack at all throughout the game and can work on the outside of the circle. Slender Man can only kill you if you look at him and he is always behind you. Never turn around, never see Slender Man. Simple as pie.
 4. 4
 Take a circular route around the map going out from the bathroom. This reduces the time it takes between notes. Following the main path is a good way of keeping your bearings.
 - The game will be measuring your sanity level and stamina. Sprint too often, your stamina goes. Lose your cool, your sanity level drops, and the game will be over. Eliminating time between notes and going as quickly as possible doesn't give your levels time to drop in the first place.
 5. 5
 Remember that Slender Man gets faster and faster. His stalking grows more frenzied for every note you collect. You'll want to keep the flashlight on after about 3, so if and when you turn around, you can immediately double back as soon as you see him.
 - The music in the background will get more and more intense as you collect notes. To get around this, just hit your mute button. It can be awfully distracting (which is the point).
 6. 6
 Be on super alert after the 5th note. If you do see him, line his face up with an object, so you can only see his arm or leg. When he's on the screen, he won't move. Then back away until you're out of range. Then get outta there!
 - After about 5 notes, he will be right on your tail almost constantly. Peeking at him when he is so close will get your character'scared' and allow you to sprint very fast. Use this to dash towards the last note/s, but know that it will wear your character out.
 7. 7
 Don't look behind you when you have 6 pages (unless you have the guts to do so!).[1] Slender Man will be right behind you and if you turn around, he will kill you. So keep sprinting until you find the last note.
 - This is why the bathroom is such a pain in the rear end. If you leave it for later, you'll be constantly turning around, trying to get out of it. You're as good as dead.
 8. 8
 After you collect all 8 notes, stand around until the game ends. Depending on your version of the game, you will have unlocked a different mode -- a cruel, circular hell for the non-existent player in the game. "Beating" the game is sort of a misnomer; you simply get out of the level you were in before.
Method 2 of 2: Unlocking Other Modes
 1. 1
 Unlock "daytime mode" in version 0.9.4. After collecting all the pages from the first mode, you'll "wake up" in the daytime. It probably sounds easier, but it's not. You don't have to worry about your flashlight, but everything else is just as intense.
 - After "daytime mode," unlock "$20 mode." Again with version 0.9.4, if you beat daytime mode, you'll reemerge after the credits once again in the dark. Beating this mode is no different from the standard version except for the fact that you'll hear 20 Dollars by Ron Browz playing in the background.
 - The reference to this is that some believe that if you give Slender Man $20, he won't kill you. Cheap date, huh?
 - You can select these modes in the options screen and you can play both simultaneously, if you'd like.
 2. 2
 For version 0.9.5., unlock "MH mode." This will run like a video from Marble Hornets on YouTube, using the entry format. The music is slightly different, the static is more prominent, and it runs like a prerecorded video. Once you get past this, you can then move to daytime mode and $20 mode.
 3. 3
 For version 0.9.7., unlock Marble Hornets mode first. It's only a slight name change (MH is one in the same, really). $20 mode was removed due to copyright infringement.[2]
 - You also have the options of using a crank lantern and a glow stick. What's more, you can pause the game as long as there isn't static on the screen. The more and more pages you collect, the less you can see. Fog will start rolling in, too.[3]
 - There are also more links in the menu, leading to forums and extra resources, etc.
 - Keeping in constant motion will prevent the likelihood of Slender Man taking you from behind.
 - Print out the map if you can't memorize it.
 - Conserve battery life; turn it off for the first few pages.
 - If your game is running slowly, decreasing the graphic resolution will speed things up.
 - Sprinting when scared (i.e. when Slender Man appears close to you) will make you go very fast, but also reduce the maximum stamina of the character. Only use on the last few notes.
 - Slender can't move if you watch him. But you can only watch from a very far distance. Don't use this as a strategy tactic; just keep it in mind.
 - Make sure you don't look at the ground. You won't see anything and the chances of Slender Man attacking will increase.
 - Start running when you have 4 pages. Slender man is more likely to teleport when you are walking.
 - Your distance (and whether you have your flashlight on) decide how long you can stare at Slender Man for.
 - Don't spam the shift key, the README.txt states that as of V0.9.7, clicking the shift key immediately deducts 5% of your stamina. Just hold the key if you would like to jog/sprint.
 - If there's a page in the bathroom complex, there usually isn't a page in the tunnel. Use this tip to avoid wasting time and battery life on your flashlight.
 - If you want to fully understand the story behind Slender Man, watch the film.
 - Don't play the game with headphones on.
 - Don't do it in the dark whilst home alone.
 - Don't start thinking Slender Man is real. He's just a character in a story.

KAS files can be edited usü5 How do I edit my.kas files? How do I edit my.kas files?marekf¨lang=en&display=faq&faqnr=47&catnr=8&prog=1&onlynewfaq=0" TARGET="_self">ELLO - EvilLyrics Lyrics Organizer
If you want to edit your.kas files, you just need to click in a song that you already created/downloaded the timestamps. When you select it, the lyrics will be displayed in the textbox and a new pane for the karaoke editor will appear.
In it, you can edit both the time and the text marks for every line of the lyrics. You can also add and delete stamps. When adding, it will be added after the last selected stamp. When deleting, the last selected stamp will be deleted.
Editing the time stamps
Every second, EvilLyrics can have 5 different timestamps. The first one goes exactly in that second. The second one goes after 200 mileseconds, the third one after 400, etc. In the Karaoke Editor, you can edit the values for the minutes, seconds and mileseconds too. The format is Minutes:Seconds.Milesec. So, if you have an stamp like 03:27.4, it mean it will be played 400 mileseconds after 3 minutes and 27 seconds
Editing the text stamps
The text in the right represents the first two leters in the line. Generally, if your karaoke is not working properly, it has much more to do with the text than with the time. So, what you need is to check if these two letters are the same first two letters for its corresponding time. Note that numbers and the apostrophe aren't allowed, so if you have a line like this: "I'm here for you", the letters that you should type are "Im".
Note that it is case sensitive. This means that there is difference between "Hi" and "HI".
When you did all the changes you wanted, just press the Save button.

Inhabitat wrote about a new design concept for a green roof aviary by Ballistic Architecture Machine (BAM). BAM's green roof would support a "functioning biotope for migrating birds." According to Inhabitat, BAM wants to implement their concept aviary along the Atlantic Coast Flyway, which is overlooked by the Goldman Sachs Headquarters in Lower Manhattan. "It is intended to be a rest area for birds and insects traveling along the Atlantic Coast Flyway. The aviary spans 70,000 square feet of roof and vents, into a park that is truly intended for just twelve species of birds."
Inhabitat says the design was created with the assistance of ornithologists from Harvard and Cornell Universities. The bird-attracting green roof would be attached to a twelve story building, and filled with soil, water, gravel and other materials designed for birds. Webcams would be placed in the structure to allow researchers to monitor its usage. Read the article and an earlier post on biodiverse buildings.
Separately, in a project that is underway in Berkeley, California, goats have been introduced in the Oakland and Berkeley hills to fight forest fires. According to Tom Klatt, the former manager of the Office of Emergency Preparedness at UC Berkeley, and author of UC Berkeley's 2007 Fire Mitigation Program Annual Report, "the goat clearance scheme is one of the key reasons the Bay Area hasn't had a recurrence of a catastrophic fire in decades." However, E-magazine notes that goats can also have a negative environmental impact, if left unmanaged. "These agile animals have been known to reduce or eliminate entire populations of native plants and facilitate soil erosion and the establishment of invasive plants. According to Professor Josh Donlan, the director of Advanced Conservation Strategies at Cornell University, 'Non-native herbivores, like feral goats, are responsible for widespread ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss on islands around the world.'"

Mutliplicative Bell inequalities
Speaker(s): Amit Teeni, Bar Peled
Bell inequalities are important tools in contrasting classical and quantum behaviors. To date, most Bell inequalities are linear combinations of statistical correlations between remote parties. Nevertheless, finding the classical and quantum mechanical (Tsirelson) bounds for a given Bell inequality in a general scenario is a difficult task which rarely leads to closed-form solutions. Here we introduce a new class of Bell inequalities based on products of correlators that alleviate these issues. Each such Bell inequality is associated with a non-cooperative coordination game. In the simplest case, Alice and Bob, each having two random variables, attempt to maximize the area of a rectangle and the rectangle's area is represented by a certain parameter. This parameter, which is a function of the correlations between their random variables, is shown to be a Bell parameter, i.e. the achievable bound using only classical correlations is strictly smaller than the achievable bound using non-local quantum correlations We continue by generalizing to the case in which Alice and Bob, each having now n random variables, wish to maximize a certain volume in n-dimensional space. We term this parameter a multiplicative Bell parameter and prove its Tsirelson bound. Finally, we investigate the case of local hidden variables and show that for any deterministic strategy of one of the players the Bell parameter is a harmonic function whose maximum approaches the Tsirelson bound as the number of measurement devices increases. Some implications of these results are discussed.

Hidden Treasures Connected to Melbourne's Past
Written by Leigh Swords
The cities that surround us offer a connection to our past. They are defined by historic buildings that, over time, have moulded the identity of these cities and make up the rich tapestry of architectural influences throughout history.
Having had the opportunity to refurbish a number of Melbourne's heritage structures over the years, the sheer impact these buildings have on our communities is clear. For this reason, the preservation of heritage buildings is imperative to the future of our cities as they play an essential part in connecting our communities, promoting sustainable practices through adaptive reuse, and creating an enriched landscape for our future generations.

Sustainable preservation
When adaptively reused, heritage buildings have a significant role to play in the sustainability of our communities. Much like the idea these buildings create a sense of belonging, heritage preservation has benefits to the environmental, social, and economic viability of a city. For the most part, preservation reduces landfill waste, demolition energy use, and the need for new construction.
In 2017, the Australian construction industry generated approximately 20million tonnes of construction waste, and as the industry continues to grow, so does the amount of waste. While slightly ominous, this figure has the potential to be reduced through the adaptive reuse of heritage buildings.
During the construction of Melbourne's iconic Garden State Hotel, we actively reused as much of the existing building as possible. With direction from the owner and architect, we repurposed the existing internal steel beams and timber rafters to create feature wall cladding and decorative overhead structures.
By taking simple measures such as this, we can positively contribute to the broader sustainability of our built environment.

Inherent challenges
While the adaptive reuse of heritage buildings is a step in the right direction, these old structures come with inherent challenges. Latent conditions often present difficult obstacles that directly affect efficiencies from project conception to completion – and although 'unknown' by definition, they come to be expected during the planning process.
The inclusion of contingency in programme and budgets is a must. Through assessment of an existing building's age, location, construction, and materials, a skilled builder can create a list of possible latent conditions and formulate strategies to overcome the challenges ahead.
In addition to veiled challenges, heritage buildings come with old design elements and fabrics. Materials can be hard to find, and while it would be convenient to be able to drop into a hardware store to pick up matching supplies off the shelf, the reality of this idea can be hard to swallow.
The iconic Clocks at Flinders Street Station was revitalised to its 1920's glory in 2017. The establishment's existing pressed metal ceilings were badly damaged, and large sections required replacement. To preserve the integrity of the space, we hand-pressed aluminium sheets to recreate the pattern.
In essence, patience and creativity are vital to the successful preservation of a heritage building. Without this, the history embedded in our cities doesn't have the chance to inspire our communities into the future.

Construction for the community
Understanding a heritage building's significance is critical when viewed not only through an architectural lens but also a cultural one. If a building is deemed heritage, then the influence it has on its community is paramount.
As such, formulating a construction management plan that considers this is essential. From the outset, consultation with heritage stakeholders is required to identify the heritage components of a building, as well as the conservation practices needed to fulfil the refurbishment.
Given these developments are inherently guarded by the communities in which they stand, any refurbishment works can generate a sense of anxiety amongst the public. To alleviate concerns throughout the build, it is imperative to provide information to communities through transparent and consistent communication.

Preserving our past to build our future
Heritage refurbishment and preservation opens up a world of possibilities. From the adaptive reuse of old structures, to the ingrained environmental, social, and economic benefits; heritage buildings hold the connection to our past.
When combined with creativity, patience, and a well-formulated management approach, these buildings can continue to add to the rich layered fabric of our cities for years to come.

EDI Envelope: Digital Information Package
EDI Envelope serves to deliver electronic transactions to a receiving company's business system. EDI Envelope can include multiple business transaction sets in the same way multiple paper purchase order documents can be physically grouped, stuffed, and mailed together to a receiver. EDI Envelope is the digital package that contains EDI documentation to be sent to trading partners. EDI Envelope is presented in three different types representing different levels of digital packaging. These include transaction set, group, and interchange envelopes, the last of which is the largest envelope comprised of the smaller groups of transaction sets.
Sometimes when we want to imaging the structure of an EDI document we can think about common paper documents that are packed in an envelope. The upper envelope (ISA/IEA Envelope) contains one or more envelopes (GS/GE Envelopes) in which documents are placed. Each document is in a separate EDI Envelope (ST/SE Envelopes).
The addresses of sender and receiver are "written" on ISA/IEA envelopes.
The type of documents "packed" are "depicted" on EDI Envelope GS/GE. This envelope contains only the documents of similar type – Purchase Orders, Invoices etc. Also it can be "written" on an envelope to which company-receiver division these documents refer. The last envelope contains the end-documents, e.g. Purchase Orders 000000123 and 000000124. Below is a sample of an EDI document structure:
ISA <<< «upper» envelope
GS <<< «inner» envelope that contains documents of one type
ST <<< envelope with a document
 <<< document itself
ISA*00* *00* *ZZ*A1STORES *ZZ*LEXINGTON *020115*0900*U*00400*000000005*0*T*>~
There are three different types of EDI envelopes representing different levels of digital packaging. These include transaction set, group, and interchange envelopes, the last of which is the largest envelope comprised of the smaller groups of transaction sets.
In an EDI document, each separate EDI envelope is notated by a pair of segments at the beginning and end of the transaction. Within one EDI document, there can be multiple transactions, and groups of transactions, each defined by their respective EDI envelopes.

Consuming whole fruits at least three times a week may lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to a new long-term study published Thursday in the British Medical Journal. Earlier studies have been mixed whether fruit raised or lowered risk for type 2 diabetes.
Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health combined the self-reported intake of fruit in three study populations over a period of about 20 years. While the reasons for the reduced risk cannot yet be explained, surprisingly, it appears that the glycemic index of different fruits are not connected. The glycemic index – the rate at which a fruit raises blood sugar -- defines different types of carbohydrates, known as "glycemic load." The higher the glycemic index, the faster the rise in blood sugar.
Study participants were obtained from three prospective long-term study populations: 66,105 women from the Nurses' Health Study (1984 – 2008); 85,104 women from the Nurses' Health Study II (_PHONE_); and 36,173 men from the Health Professionals Follow Up Study (1986 – 2008). Data from self reported food intake (food frequency questionnaires every other year) was evaluated to estimate consumption of whole fruits, specific types of fruits and fruit juice consumption -- and associated risk of type 2 diabetes. Data were analyzed for each group, then pooled for the final analyses.
Although the data also suggested that certain fruits - apples, blueberries, and grapes - might be better choices to reduce risk, this was only an interesting trend, and more study is needed before definitively recommending these over any other whole fruits. Different fruits do vary in their impact on blood sugar (the glycemic ondex), but these differences did not explain why certain fruits might have a stronger effect on risk reduction.
While this study relies on self-reported fruit and fruit juice intake over many years, and does not demonstrate a definitive cause, it does provide yet one more reason why fruit consumption is an important health-boosting habit (along with maintaining a stable weight, and being active) that appears to have an impact on the development of at least one chronic disease, type 2 diabetes. High in water and fiber – a natural thirst and hunger quencher, fruit sugars also satisfy a sweet tooth.
While out-of-season fresh fruits can be pricey at the supermarket, frozen fruit or canned (in water) are an affordable option, especially berries. Dried fruits are a great especially for an on-the-go snack. Aim for at least 1-2 servings of fruit every day, and rounded out with 2-3 servings of vegetables.

The pristine waters off Kona, Hawaii, teem with big game and spawn many exciting fish tales. But this tale is unlike any other, a mystery involving a giant slender fish discovered on the surface minus its head and tail, making it nearly impossible to identify.
Sea Strike Capt. Dale Leverone poses with giant headless mystery fish found recently off Kona, Hawaii. In below image, first mate Jack Leverone lies beside the 7-foot-long denizen. Credit: the Leverones
The case may never be solved because scientists have little to go on besides the photos accompanying this post, and because the fishermen filleted the carcass and tossed it overboard.
The only thing that appears certain is that the headless mystery fish belongs to a species that resides at great depth, and is rarely encountered by humans.
The best guess, and some might have already ventured this theory, is that this was an oarfish. Oarfish are long and slender prehistoric-looking fish believed to have spawned tales of sea serpents among ancient mariners.
That's what Capt. Dale Leverone of the Sea Strike, which stumbled upon the 7-foot-long ribbon-like fish, initially believed.
That's also what Jon Schwartz supposed. Schwartz, a fishing photographer and friends of the Leverone family, spent an entire day last week trying to solve this mystery, and blogged about his detective work. His title: "Giant Headless Mystery Fish Baffles Fishermen and Scientists."
But oarfish boast crimson-colored mane-like dorsal fins, tall and prominent near their heads, and the headless fish did not have a detectable dorsal fin. "I thought it was a car bumper, but then I remembered they don't float," first mate Jack Leverone told Schwartz.
Schwartz contacted Jim Rizzuto, a veteran fishing writer in Hawaii, and Rizzuto suggested it could be a Hawaiian ridge scabbardfish, which are long and ribbon-like, and extremely rare. But scabbardfish do not get nearly this long, so it was crossed off the list.
Schwartz plunged into Wikipedia and found a species called beltfish, which are long and thin, and a photo of a bunch of them at a fish market in Japan. Not a probable match.
Schwartz also contacted two NOAA marine biologists, who could not provide a positive ID.
I decided to probe on my own and contacted Perry Hampton, vice president of animal husbandry at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, Calif.
Hampton said the photographs "do not show enough detail to make a determination" but added: "Despite the apparent lack of red dorsal fin it is hard to come up with any other species other than an oarfish," based on the size of the specimen.
"The most prominent part of an oarfish's dorsal fin are the first few spines near the head," he added. "It is possible that these things were lost along with the head. The rest of the dorsal fin runs the length of the body but usually lays flat in a recessed channel along the fish's back unless it is alarmed."
So the headless mystery fish could very well have been an oarfish, but the world may never know for sure. Just as it will never know what kind of shark or other predator chomped off its head and tail, leaving the rest for the Leverones.
They had planned to eat the headless mystery fish, but when they cooked it the flesh turned gelatinous, so they passed.

Department Seminar Series: Arash Amini, Ph.D., Pseudo-likelihood methods for community detection in large sparse networks
Abstract: We consider the problem of community detection in a network that is, partitioning the nodes into groups that, in some sense, reveal the structure of the network. Many algorithms have been proposed for fitting network models with communities, but most of them do not scale well to large networks, and often fail on sparse networks. We present a fast pseudo-likelihood method for fitting the stochastic block model, a well-known model for networks with communities, as well as a variant that allows for an arbitrary degree distribution by conditioning on degrees.
We provide empirical results showing that the algorithms perform well under a range of settings, including on very sparse networks, and illustrate on the example of a network of political blogs. We also present spectral clustering with perturbations, a method of independent interest, which works well on sparse networks where regular spectral clustering fails, and use it to provide an initial value for pseudo-likelihood. We discuss theoretical results showing that pseudo-likelihood provides consistent estimates of the communities under mild conditions on the starting value, for the case of a block model with two communities. Time permitting; we give some insights as to why perturbations help with spectral clustering on sparse networks.


A Thoughtful Faith - Mormon / LDS
In this much-needed volume, that follows the evolution of LDS Church thought about race, from its earliest beginnings to its contemporary constructions, Professor Brooks seeks to account for a religious tradition that has never made a definitive departure, nor offered an explanation or an apology for why being racist is not a matter for Mormon censure while advocating for the increased authority of women or the safety of children is?
In Mormonism and White Supremacy: American Religion and the Problem of Racial Innocence Brooks offers a vital racial critique of the faith of her ancestors and her birth.

Probing the proper motion of the central compact object in Puppis-A with the Chandra high resolution camera
Max-Planck Institut für Extraterrestrische Physik, Giessenbachstrasse 1, 85741 Garching bei München, Germany e-mail: _EMAIL_
Accepted: 8 August 2006
By making use of the sub-arcsecond angular resolution of the High Resolution Camera (HRC-I) aboard the Chandra X-ray satellite we have examined the central compact object RX J0822-4300 in the supernova remnant Puppis-A for a possible proper motion. Using data which span an epoch of 1952 days we found the position of RX J0822-4300 different by 0.574 ± 0.184 arcsec, implying a proper motion of ± 34.46 mas/yr. For a distance of 2.2 kpc, this proper motion is equivalent to a recoil velocity of 1121.79 ± 359.60 km s-1. The position angle is found to be ±. Since both the magnitude and direction of the proper motion are in agreement with the birth place of RX J0822-4300 being near to the optical expansion center of the supernova remnant, the result presented in this letter is a promising indication of a fast moving compact object in a supernova remnant. Although the positional shift inferred from the current data is significant at a ~ level only, one or more future HRC-I observations can obtain a much larger positional separation and further constrain the measurement.

IMPT | Can new ideas sketched out on a sheet of paper also be produced on paper? Is it possible to integrate sensors for computers or smartphones into a sheet of paper? Scientists of the Institute of Micro Production Technology (IMPT) are working on this vision of the future.
Paper is a sustainable, low-cost and abundant material. But is it suited for the production of technical devices? "Yes", says Meriem Akin of IMPT. Within the scope of her doctoral thesis, she developed a paper-based sensor and was supported by young academics from the U.S.A.: This year, Autumn Pratt and Jenny Blackburn came over as visiting scientists for short research periods at IMPT.
The so-called anisotropic magneto-resistive (AMR) sensor placed in a magnetic field is able to sense rotary motion. For example, AMR sensors are capable of sensing whether a smartphone is held vertically or horizontally. Sensors are usually produced on semiconductor material, such as silicon substrate, which is five times as thick as a sheet of paper. So the unconventional material could help to produce even thinner sensors – and to make use of previously high-cost technologies at a more favourable price.
In the first place, however, paper would be able to provide for a sustainable production technology, since cellulose is a renewable resource. "Paper can be used for a lot more than just for disposable cups and newspapers", says Meriem Akin.
