During September, as part of the Indiana University School of Medicine ENLACE program, four fourth-year medical students traveled to El Salvador for a family medicine rotation at the Health Center, La Mora Clinic, National Hospital, and Suchitoto Association of Midwives. They worked alongside Salvadoran doctors and the midwives three days each week. They also learned about the similarities and differences between the cultures and healthcare systems.
They visited historical and cultural sites to learn about Salvadoran history and immersed themselves in the local culture by living with local families in the La Mora community, outside Suchitoto. They also attended language classes each afternoon.
This program allows us to continue build ties of friendship and fraternity between El Salvador and the United States, which is one of the objectives of CoCoDA.

Too much chlorine in water can harm other tissues and tree leaves. The focus threshold for tree injury is only 0.5 parts per million. The extent of tree damage from chlorine depends on the focus, length of coverage, way when the tree takes the chlorine, and time of the year up. While trees in your lawn are actively expanding rather than when they're dormant when coverage does occur chlorine injury is higher.
Also much chlorine is toxic, although chlorine is a trace element essential to tree diet. The leaves of trees are the first buildings to present results of chlorine toxicity. They're going to show a scorched or burned look with brown, lifeless tissue on edges and the ideas, as well as involving the leaf veins. Leaves may be stunted, turn yellow and fall off early.
Chlorine reacts with soil components to to create chloride compounds adopted by tree roots. Chlorides that are excess direct to the signs of chlorine poisoning. Soil is entered by chlorine from naturally-occurring chloride salts in the soil that dissolve in rain-water or irrigation water, chlorine from air-pollution that dissolves in rain-water, and swimming pool water run off, water from driveways and streets. Chlorine levels in municipal drinking-water usually are too low to damage trees, but in most cases, if you're able to smell chlorine in the water, donât use it to water your trees. In concentrations as little as 1 part per million, the nose can smell chlorine.
Tree species are especially sensitive to chlorine poisoning. Among them are types of box elder trees and tree. Chlorine -sensitive are crabapple, dogwood, horse-chestnut, mulberry, yellowwood, sweet gum and pin oak.
Trees broken by chlorine that was water borne by irrigating with plenty of clear, chlorine-free water. This water will dilute and carry chlorides away in the plant and soil tissues. In case your water supply is chlorinated, eliminate the chlorine before utilizing it by placing your water in a container in a sunny place to get a week. Apply gypsum to extract the chlorine in case your soil is heavily-laden with chlorides. Spread the gypsum in the price of 5 8 lbs per 1, 000 toes and function it in the most effective soil. Water completely to leach the poisonous amounts of chlorine from your soil.

Big or small, construction companies face tough challenges. On any given day, a company will have to shuffle through mountains of paperwork. Numerous calls, emails, and text messages are exchanged between office-based teams and those out in the field, not to mention suppliers and partners. Plans, designs, and permits are sent out, approved, or revised. With every step—every plan submitted, every phone call made, every email sent—the construction company also has to ensure a level of quality and accuracy.
Typically, constructions companies rely on their teams to deliver thorough and precise work—especially for larger, blue-chip firms with bigger teams and numerous stakeholders. Furthermore, when it comes to ensuring efficiency, the benefits that a construction management software (CMS) can bring to big construction companies are very compelling.
Here are some benefits that you should know about:
1. CMS makes managing every facet of the business easier
Bigger firms have the advantage of having bigger teams. Therefore, a CMS makes the manager's job a lot easier and provides for a more efficient workflow process. CMS helps managers keep constant tabs on projects and ensures everything is going according to plan.
2. CMS helps reduce the tedious aspects of the business
Construction companies have to deal with a constant rotation of RFIs, transmittals, business letters, bids, submittals, change requests—all of which are tedious and time-consuming. Fortunately, a CMS can easily automate all these components and provide better tracking.
3. CMS can manage documents and keep them accessible
Construction companies typically handle massive amounts of paperwork. This is especially true for larger organizations. To date, companies struggle with finding ways to ensure that documents are filed efficiently and are easily accessible by team members, when they need it. CMS helps address this through its document management system. Additionally, CMS operates on the cloud, which means the platform can be accessed regardless of location.
4. CMS assists with delegation
CMS platforms come with collaboration tools that enable the efficient and clear delegation of roles and responsibilities among team members. This makes it easy for managers to communicate and assign work among team members, while highlighting transparency in the workplace.
5. CMS offers opportunities for meaningful reporting and analysis
CMS platforms are built to track and monitor projects throughout every step. This makes gathering data for reports and analysis a lot simpler and faster. Real-time access means anyone who needs the information can easily access snapshots of milestones or operations.
Without a doubt, businesses can certainly benefit from using a CMS. For larger organizations, it's important that they choose a CMS that is dependable, benchmarked on industry standards, and supports integration with other critical construction apps and tools.
If you want to see how our platform can help your construction business operations, contact PASKR today and find out how we can help!

FLORISTIC STUDY OF CONVOLVULACEAE FAMILY IN UMARGAM TALUKA, VALSAD DISTRICT, GUJARAT, INDIA
Keywords:Floristic study, speciation, isolation, endemism, Convolvulaceae, Umargam taluka, Species, Genera
Floristic studies help us to assess the plant wealth and its potentiality of any given area. Floristic studies also help us to understand the basic aspects of biology such as speciation, isolation, endemism and evolution. Flora of any area is not fixed up. It changes from time to time. Various ecological factors, mostly biotic, change the floristic components. The total number of species may be changed; dominant species may be replaced with other species; the floristic composition, i.e., family: genus: species ratio may be changed. Umargam taluka is selected for the floristic studies. Whole area is rich in plant diversity. Floristic study of Convolvulaceae family in Umargam taluka, Valsad district, Gujarat, India, was carried out. A total of 23species under 8 genera belonging to the family Convolvulaceae were collected and identified. For each species botanical name, local name, habitat, flowering time, distribution and Taxonomic description have been mentioned.

In C, the fread function is like this:
size_t fread(void *buf, size_t max, FILE *file);
Usually char* arrays are used as buf. People usually assume that char = 8 bit. But what if it isn't true? What happens if files written in 8 bit byte systems are read on 10 bit byte systems? Is there any single standard on portability of files and network streams between systems with bytes of different size? And most importantly, how to write portable code in this regard?
share|improve this question
Probably 8-bit bytes are just widened up to 10 bits adding zeroes as MSbits, since it's in the best interest of those "strange" systems to be compatible with the rest of the world that uses 8-bit bytes. Also, AFAIK all these systems are "strange" systems (DSPs, old mainframes,...) that do not usually deal with "regular" files produced by "regular" machines. – Matteo Italia Dec 22 '12 at 16:33
Use the new suggested typedefs for int types: uint8_t – stdcall Dec 22 '12 at 16:39
I just received an answer on other question that these typedefs are only available if machine directly supports them. – lamefun Dec 22 '12 at 16:40
_USER_ this is standard, just use _TAG_ – stdcall Dec 22 '12 at 16:42
en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/integer --- it says "(provided only if the implementation directly supports the type)" – lamefun Dec 22 '12 at 16:44

With regard to network communications, the physical access protocols (like ethernet) define how many bits there go in a "unit of information" and it is up to the implementation to map this to an appropriate type. So, for network communications there is no problem with supporting weird architectures.
For file access, stuff gets more interesting if you want to support weird architectures, because there are no standards to refer to and even the method of putting the files on the system may influence how you can access them. Fortunately, the only systems currently in use that don't support 8-bit bytes are DSP's and similar small embedded systems that don't support a filesystem at all, so the issue is essentially moot.

Systems with bit sizes other than 8 is pretty rare these days. But there are machines with other sizes, and files are not guaranteed to be portable to those machines.
If uberportability is required, then you will have to have some sort of encoding in your file that copes with char!= 8 bits.
Do you have something in mind where this may have to run on a DEC 10 or really old IBM mainframes, in DSP's or some such, or are you just asking for the purpose of "I want to know". If the latter, I would just "ignore the case". It is pretty special machines that don't have 8-bit characters - and you most likely will have OTHER problems than bits per char to use your "files" on the system then - like how to get the file there in the first place, as you probably can't plug in a USB stick or transfer it with FTP (although the latter is perhaps the most likely one)

Your Answer


vampire can look very scary and angry with the right details.
Another example, a very simple one: my character, a very tired student, dropped a plate, full of food on the floor.
A tired student who's annoyed is very different from an Angry villain! It's all in the details.
Two very opposing types of characters!
Write down ideas, play out different sceneries for your character and sketch them out, this is a good way to practice your expressions and to leave them more dynamic!
Consider using Angry Colors
And contrast!
Color is very important when drawing. You're not just adding it to your drawings or to your characters.
You're telling something with it.
Even if it's just to transmit calm and a sense of balance to the viewer, you're still talking through the colors you used.
You can also use colors to convey emotions. Red is the color most used to show rage, but some oranges, purple and even yellows also work very well! (And if you're need of some coloring tools, here you go)
Mako in the Kill La Kill anime series, using a lot of red and orange colors!
Fan Art I did of "Mako" from the Kill La Kill Anime series
A very good example of the use of color to portray emotion is Disney Pixar's movie Inside Out!
This is a very interesting movie about emotions and how important they are. They do an amazing job showing that in a very lighthearted and fun way, but also through the color!
Notice how each emotion has a specific color.
Not only the ones inside the main character but all the other emotions, belonging to the other characters.
Inside everyone, Joy is yellow, Sadness is blue, Fear is purple, Disgust is green and, the most important one for us here: Anger is red!
Each one also has a different weight and sign of importance, depending how much of that emotion the person feels and how much it guides their lives.
This does not mean, that feeling one more than the other is inherently bad, just that it's part of us and our growth.
In the movie Inside Out you can learn more on using the right colors for the right emotions
Movie "Inside Out" by Pixar
If, in your painting, you want to portray this emotion and want to go all out with it.
If this is the main subject of it, then take the chance to go all the way. Not only you're giving an extra boost to the emotional state of the character, you're also using color to your advantage.
People feel whatever emotion a painting is trying to convey, not only from the lines but through the way you worked with the colors!
It all depends on what you want to go for. If you really want to exaggerate, go with something very vibrant and chaotic.
Going to the limit can be a risky maneuver sometimes, but also a good choice.
If you're 100% sure that's how you want to transmit your message, other people will be able to read it that way as well.
As for contrast, this is also something to have always in account.
Not only in a colored piece but in a black and white one. Especially in the latter!
If all of the painting as the same weight, the eyes of the viewer will get lost and lose any focus. It also makes the painting flat.
Play with contrast and test things out, it can be risky but it might also work out and you learn new skills!
Play with contrast.
Give some parts of your painting more emphasis than others. Be it either with extra shadows, big masses of strokes or giving vibrant colors to parts of it, while others are softer.
Play with different palettes and different kinds of strokes and weights.
Balance your paintings not only through the drawing but color as well. Look up different colors and their meanings.
Each emotion can be conveyed through a color.
And if the emotion itself is the most important part of your painting, by assigning the right color to it, you'll give it an extra something!
Drawing an Angry Face From the Side
When drawing an angry face on a side view, the same principles apply.
In fact, it can even be easier! Instead of drawing the whole face, you're basically drawing half of it.
You still need to pay attention to how you draw the face, though. Think about perspective and 3D.
Even though you're drawing a 2D piece, you have to give shape to it, portray the idea of 3D.
A head, body, and face have volume.
And drawing them in a side view can be a bit confusing at the beginning and hard to give that volume.
When drawing an angry face from the side, the eyes change a lot!
The biggest change you'll notice is how you draw the eye.
This time we draw it in a cone shape. When drawing it in front view, we tend to draw an almond shape. Now, you need to learn to draw your eye differently.
You can still give different shapes and styles to the eye. But the positioning will change and it will always have the same base cone shape.
If you remember this, you won't have any trouble drawing the eyes!
When drawing an angry face from the side, the nose becomes very prominent!
The nose will also have a very different part here.
In a front view, the nose can be almost non-existence. Very simple. Two dots above the mouth and you wouldn't need much more.
On a side view, it's quite the opposite.
The nose here is very prominent and a big part of the head shape itself.
Once again, you can still play with styles and sizes of the nose, but it takes a more important role in the drawing.
The base shape for your nose will maintain though. So as long as you keep that triangle shape in mind, you'll do good!
Drawing the mouth from the side isn't much of a problem, here's how!
The mouth itself, won't be as problematic.
It's one my favorite things to draw in a side view, especially if it's an angry face!
Everything else: tilted eyebrows, close to the eyes.
Big eyes, with very small irises to exaggerate the expression and wrinkled noses still apply here.
Remember you can always take photos of yourself to help you better get a reference image, or use one online. It really helps!
And that's how we draw an angry face from the side, step by step!
Drawing a Simple Version of an Angry Face
Sometimes, less is more!
You don't need to go with a very complex drawing right away.
Why don't you start practicing with a stickman?
It's all shapes, and all the principles apply here as well.Drawing a stickman to help you figure out how to draw emotions is a great exercise! Here's a step by step process.
This is a very minimalistic look but it can work, if you're going for that and if that's the style you're going for.
I've seen some stickman comics that can portray the emotion in a better way, than with something very complex. It's all about what you want and like.
If you want something raw, going with a simple style like this can work wonders!
Sometimes, if you add too many details, it can take away the initial emotion that you're going for and its meaning.
It's also a great way for you to practice and learn.
Before going to the big, complex drawings, try out your expressions with very simple and basic shapes like this!
Once you nailed those, you can just apply it to more complex drawings.
Summing it Up
The secret, as always, to improve and discover new ideas and styles is to have fun and experiment a lot!
There's a lot of emotions you can play with.
Start with the eyebrows, then the eyes and mouth. Try different sizes, curves, and details. Make a sheet with a scale with different kinds of angry expressions.
This will help you both in your progress as an artist, but also you now have a reference sheet for you to look at whenever you need to pick one angry face.
And remember to use references!
You can't learn without looking and observing what you want to draw. Look up on the internet for different angry expressions or make them yourself in front of a mirror.
Study and sketch them out.
If you find it too hard to keep looking at yourself and then your drawing over and over, take a selfie!
Goof up with your camera and take pictures of yourself for future reference!

Commerce.AI's Data Engine vs. Medallia's Social Listening—A Simple Guide
Written by
Frederik Bussler
June 11, 2021
Commerce.AI and Medallia are both players in the product data space, but there are some key differences between the two.
Commerce.AI is focused on helping product teams innovate and initiate data-driven digital transformation, and has a range of features that help in this area, centered around the world's largest product data engine. Medallia offers tools that help customers collect and analyze social listening signals.
Let's take a look at the features of each company and how they are used in different industries.
Feature Comparison
Commerce.AI offers a range of features that help commerce companies grow their business through access to massive amounts of high-quality product data.
These features include product and competitive strategy, market intelligence, customer experience, and AI-assisted content for product catalogs. In addition, technical teams can use Commerce.AI APIs and data applications to access product data and insights at scale. Underlying these features is a data engine that has scanned over a trillion product data points from commerce channels like Amazon, Target, and Walmart.
In contrast, Medallia is focused on social data signals, which can include many datapoints from people who never bought a given product, creating more noise than signal.
Industry Comparison
There are also some differences in the industries these solutions are used in.
Commerce.AI's data engine has analyzed over 600 million products and services across 56,000 categories, making it an incredibly versatile tool, with use-cases in any product segment imagineable.
On the other hand, social listening signals are likely to be relevant to a smaller segment of industries.
User Comparison
Commerce.AI is focused on supporting Project Managers and other product-oriented folk, as well as analysts and Consumer Insights teams. In comparison, Medallia is focused on CX Professionals or EX Professionals.
Ultimately Commerce.AI is designed for companies that want a holistic data-driven digital transformation while Medallia is for customers who want to collect social data signals.
Data Engine vs. Social Listening
Commerce.AI and Medallion represent two approaches to understanding what consumers are thinking about your company, product, and competitors (among other areas).
Both systems rely on data, providing insights that allow product teams to disrupt their markets or catch up with them. Data sources are one key difference between the two models - while Commerce.AI brings high-quality product data and insights to you, with Medallia, you have to go out and select social signals, which are often worse quality and less relevant to product teams than verified commerce data.
While they are similar in some ways, Commerce.AI has a high-quality set of artificial intelligence-based systems that analyze truly massive amounts of product data.
Another area of distinction is in scalability: Medallia runs primarily on social data signals. Commerce.AI has a powerful data engine that processes over a trillion data points from over a hundred sources, which is constantly being updated.
The difference between the two analysis models becomes very clear when enterprise commerce teams need large scale, verified data to make decisions.
The bottom line is clear: a model like Commerce.AI's can substantially improve product capabilities by enabling product teams with an understanding of what they would never know otherwise.

As the cycle of change increases its speed, leadership communication is becoming more important than ever. Since the original publication of Leading Out Loud in 1995, the development of a leader's message has become as critical to success as the delivery of that message. In this new and revised edition of his highly praised work, Terry Pearce explains how the events of recent years, including the information revolution, worldwide focus on terrorism, and the revelation of corporate scandals, have significantly increased the importance of authenticity in leadership to build loyalty in organizations.This new edition focuses on the source of a message for change, its development as a platform for leadership communication, and its many forms of expression from speeches to e-mails, memos, and even informal "water cooler" conversation. Pearce shows leaders in business, politics, and nonprofits how to communicate their values and vision to inspire commitment; he provides tools and examples from well-known leaders as well as less-known but effective change agents. Leading Out Loud gives readers concrete methods for improving their own communication by guiding them to do the internal work necessary for creating an honest and compelling vision, and by demonstrating how readers can find their authentic voice and articulate their messages with confidence.People make commitments, says Pearce, to causes they value and to people they respect and trust. An authentic voice and an inclusive perspective are requisites for any leader who would inspire change. Trust is built by communicating from both the mind and the heart, speaking directly to the minds and hearts of others, listening to their response, and respecting their points of view. All leaders will benefit from Pearce's wisdom, as will anyone else who wants to inspire positive change through others.

The Struggle for Aboriginal Rights: A Documentary History
1 Jan 1999
Allen & Unwin
The Struggle for Aboriginal Rights is the first book of its kind. Not only does it tell the history of the political struggle for Aboriginal rights in all parts of Australia; it does so almost entirely through a selection of historical documents created by the Aboriginal campaigners themselves, many of which have never been published. It presents Aboriginal perspectives of their dispossession and their long and continuing fight to overcome this. In charting the story of Aboriginal political activity from its beginnings on Flinders Island in the 1830s to the fight over native title today, this book aims to help Australians better understand both the continuities and the changes in Aboriginal politics over the last 150 years: in the leadership of the Aboriginal political struggle, the objectives of these campaigners for rights for Aborigines, their aspirations, the sources of their programmes for change, their methods of protest, and the outcomes of their protest. Through the words of Aboriginal activists, across 150 years, The Struggle for Aboriginal Rights charts the relationship between political involvement and Aboriginal identity.


Patheos Watermark
Rituals and Worship
Sacred Time
Reformed sacred time is organized by a liturgical calendar that celebrates all the major events in the life of Jesus and of the early Church throughout the course of each year.
Sacred Space
Sacred space in the Reformed tradition is characterized by a relatively austere aesthetic, and is designed to focus attention on preaching and on the two sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper.
Rites and Ceremonies
The meaning of the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper have been among the most important and contentious aspects of Reformed theology, setting Reformed Christians off not just from Catholics but from other Protestants as well.
Worship and Devotion in Daily Life
Reformed daily life is shaped by the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers (which in Calvinism leads to idea of vocation and the Protestant work ethic), by an increased focus on all aspects of the personal lives of parishioners, and by a requirement for increased levels of education.
Reformed symbolism tends to be fairly austere, and directs attention to the key doctrines of salvation by faith (as a gift of the Spirit), the priesthood of all believers (and so a downplaying of symbols setting aside ministers as different from others), and sola scriptura (the importance of the Bible).


Generally, possession of an illegal substance with the intent to distribute is a serious crime and often results in more serious consequences than drug possession for personal use. However, in Pennsylvania, you can also be charged with drug delivery resulting in death, which is perhaps the most serious drug charge of all. Drug delivery resulting in death can result in a sentence of up to 40 years in prison and is classified as a felony.
Two Pennsylvania men were recently charged with possession with intent to deliver drugs and criminal use of a communication device, and are also facing a pending charge of drug delivery resulting in death. These charges apparently stemmed from a drug overdose that occurred over the July 4th weekend.
If you have been charged with drug delivery resulting in death, prosecutors will have to establish that you intentionally gave someone and drug and that they died as a result of using the drug. However, this crime can often be difficult for prosecutors to prove as it is hard to establish that the drugs given to them in fact contributed to the person's death. This law was implemented to reduce the number of overdoses and drug crimes, but some argue that it has not served that purpose.
Pennsylvania courts often impose strict penalties for drug distribution, particularly if someone is killed because of that distribution. A criminal defense attorney can help defend you against these serious charges and minimize the penalties you face if you are convicted. Remember that the burden of proof is on the prosecutor, meaning that it is their job to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt to get a conviction.


Design Method for the Fastest Settling Type 2 Phase Lock Loop: Part 1
Download Whitepaper
 - Author: Akmarul Ariffin Bin Salleh
Fast settling time is always desirable in any PLL (phase lock loop), as long as the noise performance is within limit. One application where fast settling is of high importance is in the design of a network analyzer. A PLL is used to synthesize both the source signal for the device under test and the LO signal for down conversion. With a faster settling source and LO, more measurements can be done for a given period of time, thus improving measurement throughput. In a test environment, this improvement directly yields higher productivity, since more parts can be tested. In addition to that, faster sweep time in a network analyzer will enable a user to approach real time measurement to capture any intermittent signal or glitches.

(b Crevalcore; d before 1525). Italian painter and musician.
Although Antonio da Crevalcore was highly regarded by his
contemporaries as both a painter of still-lifes and a musician, his
artistic oeuvre remains the subject of debate. It has been suggested
that he trained in Ferrara, because of the stylistic similarities
his work shares with other Ferrarese painters working in Bologna,
such as Francesco del Cossa and Ercole de' Roberti. The influence of
Cossa's Bolognese painting on Crevalcore is clear, especially of the
Pala dei Mercanti (Bologna, Pin. N.), but the connection between
Cossa's Ferrarese works or Ercole de' Roberti's later Ferrarese
paintings and Crevalcore is less evident.

CURRENT COST Definition
CURRENT COST is the cost which would be incurred for replacement of an asset.

EARNINGS BEFORE TAXES see PROFIT BEFORE TAXES.
LEAST-SQUARED METHOD of approximating cost is a statistical approach that is both objective and considers all the data points. By using mathematical formulas to arrive at the best possible cost line (i.e., the regression line), it is more accurate than the methods mentioned previously. The regression line is in the form Y=a + bX, where X is the independent variable and Y is the dependent variable. The coefficient of determination (R2) can be used to judge the line's goodness of fit.

Overview of a cross-platform spreadsheet-based rules enigne with algorithms implemented in C++ and JavaScript, and wrappers to C#/.NET/WinRT/Silverlight, Flash, and Mobile platforms(via PhoneGap).
Application logic, particularly business rules, can be messy and time consuming to maintain in code. If all your application logic is hard-coded, it can eventually lead to massive if-then-else or select-case code segments that could grow into huge nightmares. Developers have more important problems to solve and things to do than to maintain a mountain of string compares, boolean tests, or Stored Procedures. There have been numerous attempts at rules engines (a.k.a. "inference engines"), but many of them require the writing of even more cryptic looking code that is hard, if not impossible, for non-developers to maintain. De-coupling business logic from an application certainly makes for more robust and maintainable code, and provides you the ability to let non-developer subject matter experts maintain the data and rules model, provided it is logical and easy to understand. Of course, you can always link parts of your application data to a database, but that still requires a lot of developer work to define the data model and queries needed for every unique "rule-driven" event in your application, not to mention the possibility of database performance bottlenecks in a networked or limited resource environment. A table-based rules engine can be a very powerful and flexible solution for your application logic and automation needs. In a web environment, the Logician JavaScript libraries can also offload a lot of server CPU onto the user's browser and eliminate lagging server callbacks.
Decision Tables
A Decision Table, or "Truth Table" as a mathematician or electrical/computer engineer might call it, is simply a spreadsheet defining the possible solutions to a problem given a set of input conditions. For example, suppose we are mixing paint, and I show you the following spreadsheet:
PaintColor1 PaintColor2 ResultColor
Red Blue Purple
Red Yellow Orange
Blue Yellow Green
Without writing a single line of code, or even offering any more background information about the problem, the meaning of the data is clear. Programmatically, we can think of this as a series of if-then-else statements reading left to right, top to bottom:
if (PaintColor1 == "Red" && PaintColor2 == "Blue")
 ResultColor == "Purple"
else if (PaintColor1 == "Red" && PaintColor2 == "Yellow")
 ResultColor = "Orange"
Or in SQL:
SELECT ResultColor WHERE PaintColor1 = _USER_ AND PaintColor2 = _USER_
Any one of these three solutions gets the job done, but the first is certainly easier to comprehend for non-developers and is the way a lot of practical engineering and/or business data is maintained in the real world. Using a database to drive the rule certainly de-couples the logic from your source code to some extent, but in a web environment, you will have to use server callbacks or Web Services to retrieve the data, slowing the application down. What if the logic needs to change, and we start mixing three colors of paint? For the database, you might have to go back and change the database table schema and your Select statement/Stored Procedures. If you had a few hundred combinations of colors and then added a third input parameter to the hard coding method, you are in for a whole lot of monotonous error-prone coding. If you had gone with the decision table, you likely would have very little work to do, other than to copy the new rules XML file (that a non-developer/subject matter expert likely edited for you) with the added third input to your website or application. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to use the Open Source Logician Suite to accomplish this task. With the Logician package, you get three basic components, a decision table evaluator library, a decision table editor, and a dynamic data/class modeler and rules engine library.
Decision Table Engine Background
As stated before, the table rules read sequentially; for a given series of inputs, the output(s) are determined. In the example above, they work top to bottom, left to right. The decision table evaluator (EDSEngine library) creates a truth table given the information supplied to it by your code and the stored XML rule data. By itself it is stateless, but it is easy to determine and supply the necessary variables. The basic steps that occur are:
 1. Code determines it needs to evaluate a table, asks EDSEngine what input values from the current application "state" it needs.
 2. EDSEngine loads the table and returns the list of inputs in the table.
 3. Code provides the corresponding list of current values for those inputs.
 4. EDSEngine evaluates the decision table and returns results.
You should be able to automate steps 1-3 in your code, depending on how you design your data model. Something as simple as this might work:
map mAppData; //application state as attribute-value pairs
CKnowledgeBase m_TableEvaluator;
//...application stuff, you loaded the rules file, etc
string GetResultingColor()
 return GetSingleSolution("ColorMixingTable", "ResultColor");
string GetSingleSolution(string tableToEvaluate, string nameOfOutput)
//could reuse this function for all similar aplication events
 vector inputsNeeded = m_TableEvaluator.GetInputDependencies(tableToEvaluate);
 //from our application data, obtain the values
 for (int i = 0; i < inputsNeeded.size(); i++)
 m_TableEvaluator.SetInputValue(inputsNeeded[i], mAppData[inputsNeeded[i]]);
 vector results = m_TableEvaluator.EvaluateTable(tableToEvaluate, nameOfOutput);
 //EDSEngine supports returning multiple true results on a sigle line,
 // but in this case we expect just a single result (the first one it finds)
 if (results.size() > 0)
 return results[0];
 return "";
See the source code for this example in the ColorMixConsole application. Rule tables are stored as XML, and when "compiled" by the DecisionLogic table editor utility, linked together in a single XML file. All the values stored within the rules engine are natively strings since they get serialized to XML. In order to optimize performance, string compares are avoided when possible by numerically tokenizing all the stored values in the rules table and any input values passed in. That way, it is just comparing numbers most of the time. So in memory, the previous paint color table looks more like:
PaintColor1 PaintColor2 ResultColor
0 1 3
0 2 4
1 2 5
Suppose we pass "Blue" and "Yellow" to the previous paint table. The values for PaintColor1 and PaintColor2 that we are testing are likewise assigned 1 (Blue) and 2 (Yellow). You can also perform the following boolean operations on an input value, and de-tokenization will occur:
 - > : greater-than, alpha or numerical
 - < : less-than, alpha or numerical
 -!= or <> : not-equal to
 - [x,y] : range of values, inclusive ends
 - (x,y) : range of values, exclusive ends
You can mix [] and (). = is not used explicitly, this is the default behavior for a rule cell and does not require the string to be de-tokenized.
At run-time, once you pass in the input values for the table, it is broken down sequentially into a series of boolean cells, where the value of each cell is either true or false. Any input cell that you leave blank is always considered true. So if we passed the values PaintColor1 = "Blue" and PaintColor2 = "Yellow", our previous decision table looks a lot like a logical AND gate:
PaintColor1 PaintColor2 ResultColor
F F F
F T F
T T T <==This is our solution, corresponding
 to the tokenized memory value of 5,
 whose string value is "Green"
Other EDSEngine Features of Note
You can specify more than one value in an input cell, this is called an "OR", and the test will check them against the input value just like an "or" in code: if (value1 = test || value2 = test || value3 = test ) then do something... is abbreviated as value1|value2|value3 in a cell. There is also a notion of "Global ORs" if you design the rules XML using the table designer tool, DecisionLogic. Listing many values out can be a lot of extra typing, so you can define a single list of values as a variable and reuse that variable in all your project tables. In an output cell, the "|" delimiter acts like an "and" (&&). In this way, your solution can return multiple values. The results of a table evaluation are always returned as an array (vector in C++). There is also the notion of a table being "Get One"

Electric vehicles have been touted as the dream technology to solve our suburban transport challenges and rescue us from oil dependence and environmental threats. Yet technology use occurs in a social context. Almost no discussion of electric vehicles has addressed the uneven suburban social patterns among which electric vehicles might be adopted.
The evidence that my colleagues Neil Sipe, Terry Li and I have assembled suggests the socio-economic structure of Australian suburbia, in combination with the distribution of public transport infrastructure, constitutes a major barrier to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, especially among the most car-dependent households.
Relying on electric vehicles as a solution to energy and environmental problems may perpetuate suburban social disadvantage in a period of economic and resource insecurity.
Australia's five largest cities are the most car-dependent national set outside the United States. Our previous studies (Dodson and Sipe 2007; 2008 have shown that outer suburban residents, especially those with lower socio-economic capacity, are among those most exposed to the pressures of higher transport fuel prices.
Future transport fuel costs are likely to be even higher (currently oil is approximately US$100 per barrel). Unconventional oil sources such as shale or tar sands may be abundant, but they have much higher production costs than conventional light crude. Their current production boom is underpinned by expectations that global oil prices will remain high or increase further over the long term.
Higher oil prices and the need to constrain carbon emissions will likely lead to much higher transport fuel costs than have prevailed in the past decade.
Electric vehicles are often presented as the most likely way to resolve this transport conundrum. Australia's 2012 Energy White Paper alludes to a transition to electric vehicles as the economy of conventional fuels wanes.
Much of the Energy White Paper and the rhetoric around electric vehicles assumes an unproblematic transition – consumers will change their behaviour in response to price pressures. There is little discussion of potential barriers and impediments to this comforting, convenient narrative.
It makes sense that households who are most car dependent and least able to afford higher fuel prices would be the most eager to switch to an electric car. But, it turns out, the social structure of Australian suburbia means these groups are poorly placed to lead such a transition.
In our study of Brisbane we created datasets linking vehicle fuel efficiency with household socio-economic status. In our analysis, high vehicle fuel efficiency, including hybrids, serves as a proxy for future electric vehicles. We linked motor vehicle registration data with the Green Vehicle dataset on fuel efficiency, plus travel and socio-economic data from the ABS Census.
Our analysis builds a rich picture of how the spatial distribution of vehicle efficiency intersects with suburban socio-spatial patterns, using Brisbane and Sydney as case studies.
We found that the average commuting distance increases with distance from the CBD while average fuel efficiency of vehicles declines. So outer suburban residents travel further, in less efficient vehicles, than more centrally situated households. Outer suburban residents are also likely to be on relatively lower incomes than those closer in.
The result is those living in the outer suburbs have relatively weaker socio-economic status but are paying more for transport. For example, one-third of the most disadvantaged suburbs in greater Brisbane also have the most energy-intensive motor vehicle use.
A socially equitable transition to highly fuel efficient or electric vehicles ought to favour those with the highest current exposure to high fuel prices. Yet our research finds it's not likely to happen.
Outer suburban groups also own the oldest vehicles in the fleet – they can't afford newer ones – and this also contributes to poor fuel efficiency and big transport bills. The newest most fuel efficient vehicles are more commonly purchased by wealthier inner-urban households. They can afford the car, but have less need of the efficiency because they don't travel as far. If such patterns are applied to electric vehicles, their high cost and novelty status means they're likely to also be taken up by this more advantaged group. Any subsidies offered to spur their uptake will be largely captured by the wealthy.
The implication of our analysis is that the intersection of new fuel and vehicle technology costs with the social and travel patterns in Australian cities mean that suburban households face continued socio-economic stress even as these new vehicles become more widely adopted in Australian cities.
So if new technologies such as electric cars aren't the solution, how can we secure suburban households against higher fuel prices?
We need a sustained strategy to redress the grossly inequitable supply of public transport to our suburbs. We also need to decentralise our cities, getting jobs and services out into the suburbs and reducing the distances people need to travel by car.
Electric vehicles may be fantastic technology but they risk heading up a cul-de-sac of real suburban vulnerability.

Bearded lady
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Annie Jones toured with P.T. Barnum's circus in the 19th century.
A bearded lady or bearded woman is a woman who has a visible beard. These women have long been a phenomenon of legend, curiosity, or ridicule.
A relatively small number of women are able to grow enough facial hair to have a distinct beard. In some cases, female beard growth is the result of a hormonal imbalance (usually androgen excess), or a rare genetic disorder known as hypertrichosis.[1] Sometimes it is caused by use of anabolic steroids. Cultural pressure leads most to remove it, as it may be viewed as a social stigma. Notable exceptions were the famous (and usually false) bearded women of the circus sideshows of the 19th and early 20th centuries, before freak shows became unpopular.

VRV and VRF Air Conditioning Systems
VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) and VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume) are innovative climate control technologies that allow for changes in temperature in different parts of a building at different times of day.
The user simply sets the ambient temperature required and the system will maintain the room at that temperature no matter what happens outside or in the next room.
Coping with External Temperature Variations
Early in the morning, no matter what the time of year, the north facing rooms of a building are likely to be quite chilly, whilst those on the south side will feel a bit warmer. As the sun rises, the temperature inside the building will rise more quickly on the elevations facing the sun. Consequently, those rooms which do not benefit from this solar gain continue to maintain a requirement for heating at the same time that those south facing rooms need cooling.
With conventional air conditioning systems the occupiers of the building would be unable to enjoy simultaneous heating and cooling.
With VRF/VRV technology, however, the desired temperature is set on the user control panel and the system will constantly adapt and change with the external conditions to maintain that temperature without further user interference. It does this by ensuring that the air introduced into the room is cooled or heated to the correct temperature with the degree of cooling or heating automatically adjusted. The temperature of air introduced to different rooms will differ according to the conditions in that location.
Differing User Requirements
The occupiers of different rooms within a building may prefer their rooms a bit warmer or cooler than others. With VRF/VRV, the ambient temperature of each room can be individually set and the system will automatically deliver air to each room heated or cooled to meet the temperature requirement, no matter what temperature users of other rooms require.
There are two types of VRF/VRV system available. Follow these links for more information.

or literals) or values (for numerals) that define their place in a sequence -- where they fall within a record. Imagine if data were streamed onto recording tape, the way it used to be in the late 1960s and '70s. It's that streaming of the data sequence, without all the fenceposts, that differentiates XML from Protocol Buffers, by taking out all those markups that say when an entry or a record starts and stops.
The "= number" at the end of a field definition is not a "default value". It is a numeric tag that identifies that field. That said, "= number" is quite unintuitive syntax; maybe something like "_USER_" would have been less confusing.
Looking at some of the documentation, I don't think the aforementioned numbers directly index the field's location in the record. They lay down the present fields one after another, probably putting each field's tag number before the field data. This also allows them to avoid sending fields that use the default value. So they still need to specify how long each record is — either with "fenceposts" between records or a "length" specifier before each record.

Incorporating evolutionary principles into environmental management and policy
As policymakers and managers work to mitigate the effects of rapid anthropogenic environmental changes, they need to consider organisms' responses. In light of recent evidence that evolution can be quite rapid, this now includes evolutionary responses. Evolutionary principles have a long history in conservation biology, and the necessary next step for the field is to consider ways in which conservation policy makers and managers can proactively manipulate evolutionary processes to achieve their goals. In this review, we aim to illustrate the potential conservation benefits of an increased understanding of evolutionary history and prescriptive manipulation of three basic evolutionary factors: selection, variation, and gene flow. For each, we review and propose ways that policy makers and managers can use evolutionary thinking to preserve threatened species, combat pest species, or reduce undesirable evolutionary changes. Such evolution-based management has potential to be a highly efficient and consistent way to create greater ecological resilience to widespread, rapid, and multifaceted environmental change.

The Oyashio Current, which abounds in plankton beneficial to coldwater fish, flows southward along the northern Pacific, cooling adjacent coastal areas. The intersection of these currents at 36 north latitude is a bountiful fishing ground.
Its varied geographical features divide Japan into six principal climatic zones.
 - Sea of Japan (日本海 Nihonkai?): The northwest seasonal wind in winter gives heavy snowfalls, which south of Aomori mostly melt before the end of winter. In summer it is a little less rainy than the Pacific area but sometimes experiences extreme high temperatures due to the foehn wind phenomenon.
 - Central Highland (中央高地 Chūō-kōchi?): A typical inland climate gives large temperature variations between summers and winters and between days and nights. Precipitation is lower than on the coast due to rain shadow effects.
 - Seto Inland Sea (瀬戸内海 Setonaikai?): The mountains in the Chūgoku and Shikoku regions block the seasonal winds and bring mild climate and many fine days throughout the year.
 - Pacific Ocean (太平洋 Taiheiyō?): Winters are cold, with little snowfall, and summers are hot and humid due to the southeast seasonal wind. Precipitation is very heavy in the south, and heavy in the summer in the north.
 - Ryukyu Islands (南西諸島 Nansei-shotō?): This zone has a subtropical climate with warm winters and hot summers. Precipitation is very high, and is especially affected by the rainy season and typhoons.
Japan is generally a rainy country with high humidity. Because of its wide range of latitude and seasonal winds, Japan has a variety of climates, with a latitude range often compared to that of the east coast of North America, from Nova Scotia to the U.S. state of Georgia. Tokyo is at about 35 degrees north latitude, comparable to that of Tehran, Athens, or Las Vegas. Regional climatic variations range from humid continental in the northern island of Hokkaido extending down through northern Japan to the Central Highland, then blending with and eventually changing to a humid subtropical climate on the Pacific Coast and ultimately bordering very closely on a tropical climate on the Ryukyu Islands. Climate also varies dramatically with altitude and with location on the Pacific Ocean or on the Sea of Japan. Northern Japan has warm summers but long, cold winters with heavy snow. Central Japan in its elevated position, has hot, humid summers and moderate to short winters with some areas having very heavy snow, and southwestern Japan has long, hot, humid summers and mild winters. The generally humid, temperate climate exhibits marked seasonal variation such as the blooming of the spring cherry blossoms, the calls of the summer cicada and fall foliage colors that are celebrated in art and literature
The climate from June to September is marked by hot, wet weather brought by tropical airflows from the Pacific Ocean and Southeast Asia. These airflows are full of moisture and deposit substantial amounts of rain when they reach land. There is a marked rainy season, beginning in early June and continuing for about a month. It is followed by hot, sticky weather. Five or six typhoons pass over or near Japan every year from early August to early September, sometimes resulting in significant damage. Annual precipitation averages between 1,000 and 2,500 mm (40 and 100 in) except in the hyperhumid Kii Peninsula where it can reach 4,000 millimetres (160 in), which is the highest rainfall in subtropical latitudes in the world. Maximum precipitation, like the rest of East Asia, occurs in the summer months except on the Sea of Japan coast where strong northerly winds produce a maximum in late autumn and early winter. Except for a few sheltered inland valleys during December and January, precipitation in Japan is above 25 millimetres (1 in) of rainfall equivalent in all months of the year, and in the wettest coastal areas it is above 100 millimetres (4 in) per month throughout the year.
In winter, the Siberian High develops over the Eurasian land mass and the Aleutian Low develops over the northern Pacific Ocean. The result is a flow of cold air southeastward across Japan that brings freezing temperatures and heavy snowfalls to the central mountain ranges facing the Sea of Japan, but clear skies to areas fronting on the Pacific.
Late June and early July are a rainy season—except in Hokkaidō—as a seasonal rain front or baiu zensen (梅雨前線?) stays above Japan. In summer and early autumn, typhoons, grown from tropical depressions generated near the equator, attack Japan with furious rainstorms.
The warmest winter temperatures are found in the Nanpō and Bonin Islands, which enjoy a tropical climate due to the combination of latitude, distance from the Asian mainland, and warming effect of winds from the Kuroshio, as well as the Volcano Islands (at the latitude of the southernmost of the Ryukyu Islands, 24° N). The coolest summer temperatures are found on the northeastern coast of Hokkaidō in Kushiro and Nemuro Subprefectures.
Sunshine, in accordance with Japan's uniformly heavy rainfall, is generally modest in quantity, though no part of Japan receives the consistently gloomy fogs that envelope the Sichuan Basin or Taipei. Amounts range from about six hours per day in the Inland Sea coast and sheltered parts of the Pacific Coast and Kantō Plain to four hours per day on the Sea of Japan coast of Hokkaidō. In December there is a very pronounced sunshine gradient between the Sea of Japan and Pacific coasts, as the former side can receive less than 30 hours and the Pacific side as much as 180 hours. In summer, however, sunshine hours are lowest on exposed parts of the Pacific coast where fogs from the Oyashio current create persistent cloud cover similar to that found on the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin.
As an island nation, Japan has a long coastline. A few prefectures are landlocked: Gunma, Tochigi, Saitama, Nagano, Yamanashi, Gifu, Shiga, and Nara. As Mt. Fuji and the coastal Japanese Alps provide a rain shadow, Nagano and Yamashi Prefectures receive the least precipitation in Honshū, though this still exceeds 900 millimetres (35 in) annually. A similar effect is found in Hokkaidō, where Okhotsk Subprefecture receives as little as 750 millimetres (30 in) per year. All other prefectures have coasts on the Pacific Ocean, Sea of Japan, Seto Inland Sea or have a body of salt water connected to them. Two prefectures—Hokkaidō and Okinawa—are composed entirely of islands.

Natural hazards[edit]
Animation showing rainfall estimates for southern Japan and the surrounding region from July 20–27, 2009
Ten percent of the world's active volcanoes—forty in the early 1990s (another 148 were dormant)—are found in Japan, which lies in a zone of extreme crustal instability. As many as 1,500 earthquakes are recorded yearly, and magnitudes of 4 to 7 in magnitude are common. Minor tremors occur almost daily in one part of the country or another, causing slight shaking of buildings. Major earthquakes occur infrequently; the most famous in the twentieth century was the great Kantō earthquake of 1923, in which 130,000 people died. Undersea earthquakes also expose the Japanese coastline to danger from tsunamis (津波?) and tidal waves. On March 11, 2011 the country was subject to a devastating magnitude 9.0 earthquake and a massive tsunami as a result. The March 11 quake was the largest ever recorded in Japan and is the world's fourth largest earthquake to strike since 1900, according to the U.S. Geological Service. It struck offshore about 371 kilometres (231 mi) northeast of Tokyo and 130 kilometres (81 mi) east of the city of Sendai, and created a massive tsunami that devastated Japan's northeastern coastal areas. At least 100 aftershocks registering a 6.0 magnitude or higher have followed the main temblor. At least 15,000 people died as a result.
Japan has become a world leader in research on causes and prediction of earthquakes. The development of advanced technology has permitted the construction of skyscrapers even in earthquake-prone areas. Extensive civil defence efforts focus on training in protection against earthquakes, in particular against accompanying fire, which represents the greatest danger.
Another common hazard are several typhoons that reach Japan from the Pacific every year and heavy snowfall during winter in the snow country regions, causing lands

Animal Species:Dusky Driftfish, Psenes arafurensis Günther, 1889
The Dusky Driftfish is a compressed, deep bodied fish found in most tropical marine waters swimming amongst jellyfish or under floating weeds.
Arafura Eyebrowfish, Banded Driftfish
The Dusky Driftfish has a compressed body, a small mouth and a deeply notched dorsal fin. Juveniles are silvery with indistinct dark bands. Adults are silver grey with thin stripes.
The species grows to 23 cm in length.
It occurs worldwide in tropical marine waters. In Australia it is known from off north-western Western Australia and off northern Queensland to the central coast of New South Wales.

Orthodoxy in Hawaii
Orthodox Christianity in Hawaii has a history beginning with the early Russian missions of the 19th century and continuing to the work of multiple Orthodox churches on the various islands that make up the state.

Christianity in Hawaii
The first Christian service held in Hawaii was a Russian Orthodox Paschal service. Somewhere between 1792 and 1793, while traveling from Far East to what was then Russian America, a Russian trading ship stopped over in the Hawaiian Islands. The Russian Orthodox priest, not wanting to celebrate Pascha at sea, instructed the captain to disembark. The captain then told the priest that he feared the "natives" but was then told, "They will not harm us, for we are Orthodox, and we bear the Light of Christ to illumine their hearts." They disembarked and blessed a temporary altar under a newly built temple made out of palms and bamboo and adorned with a Znammeny icon of the Mother of God and the Christ Child. It was rumored that as they departed the priest left the icon used in the Paschal Liturgy. The ship's priest promised that, "We shall return and baptize these natives to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church."
The first Christian service was a lay funeral service conducted by Capt. James Cook for an English sailor at Napo'opo'o (Kealakekua) on the Big Island of Hawaii in 1779.
First Orthodox Chapels
In 1815, Russians built Hawaii's first Orthodox church; the Russian Orthodox chapel at Fort Elizabeth. On the Island of Kaua'i, three Russian forts were built: Fort Alexander, Fort Barclay, and Fort Elizabeth. Fort Alexander also housed a small Orthodox chapel, but Fort Elizabeth was the trading base for the new Russian-American Company in Hawaii. When King Kaumuali'i of Kaua'i ceded his kingdom to King Kamehameha the Great in 1816 following the tsar's refusal to annex Kaua'i due to political troubles in Russia, the forts were also ceded, and the Hawaiian Islands become one unified kingdom. The chapels ultimately fell into disrepair after Calvinist missionaries from the United States landed in 1820 after the death of King Kamehameha I.
In 1882, the Hawaiian Kingdom sent a diplomatic delegation to St. Petersburg, Russia, to witness the coronation of Tsar Alexander III. The reports of the Hawaii's special envoy to the Russian court, Colonel Curtis I'aukea, Secretary of Foreign Affairs for the Kingdom of Hawaii, regarding the Russian Orthodox liturgical services were widely published in Hawaiian-language newspapers. Two years later, Tsar Alexander III sent King Kalakaua the Imperial Order of St. Alexander Nevsky, the highest Russian award, and established a permanent Russian embassy in Hawaii, along with a very small Orthodox chapel. Subsequently, 200 Ukrainians were imported by American sugar planters.
In 1893, Queen Lili'uokalani was deposed by U.S. Marines and American sugar plantation owners, who were mostly the children of American Calvinist missionaries, and a provisional government under the protection of the United States was installed. In 1898, Hawaii was incorporated into the United States despite near universal opposition from native Hawaiians. In the early 1900s, the Russian ambassador was recalled, the embassy was moved to a small office, and the Russian Orthodox chapel was closed.
St. Innocent of Moscow also made a brief stop-over in Hawaii during his travels from Asia to Western America.
Rebirth of Orthodoxy
In 1915, an official request by the Russian Orthodox community in Hawaii and the Episcopal Bishop of Hawaii, Henry B. Restarick to the Holy Synod in St. Petersburg; a priest was dispatched that same year to Hawaii (with the blessing of Archbishop Evdokim (Meschersky) of the Aleutians) to pastor the large population of Orthodox Russian faithful. He establishsed permanent liturgical services in Hawaii and on Christmas December 25 (O.S.) / January 7 (N.S.) 1916, Protopresbyter Jacob Korchinsky celebrated the Divine Liturgy at Saint Andrew's Episcopal Cathedral in Honolulu. Thus Orthodoxy was re-established in Hawaii.
Fr. Jacob, a well-known missionary priest, established churches in Canada, the United States, Alaska, Australia and the Phillipines. He was murdered in Odessa shortly after the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, but has not yet been officially recognized as a martyred saint. St. Tikhon of Moscow once quoted Fr. Jacob's missionary exploits this way, "He did much to convert the heathens to the Christian Faith and returned many Uniates to the Orthodox Church. He set the foundation for parish life in many places, built churches and assisted the unfortunate with his acquied medical knowledge."
(Report by Bishop Tikhon Belavin to the Holy Synod. No. 155 Nov. 26, 1906)
In subsequent years, the Russian Orthodox church in Hawaii shipped or flew priests to Hawaii to care for the dwindling Orthodox population, becoming part of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR). Archimandrite Innokenty Dronov of Hilo, a contemporary of St. Jonah of Manchuria and St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco and Metropolitan Meletius of Harbin, served the entire Orthodox Christian flock on all the Hawaiian Islands throughout the 1930s and 1940s. Fr. Innokenty had a large following of Japanese Orthodox Christians. He frequently returned to the Diocese in San Francisco to report to Archbishops Apollinary (Koshevoy) and Tikhon (Troitsky) and for medical reasons. He is now purportedly buried on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Up until the 1960s, the Russian Orthodox Church was the only Orthodox jurisdiction in the Hawaiian Islands. Following the 1960s, parishes from three separate Orthodox jurisdictions established themselves in the Islands: Greek, Serbian, and OCA. At one point there were as many as five different Orthodox jurisdictions in the Hawaiian Islands. Despite this multiplicity of jurisdictions, all Orthodox churches in Hawaii are in communion with one another and have friendly relations. (See also: Orthodoxy in America, Diaspora.)
The Russian Orthodox Church (ROCOR)
In the late 1960s, a group of Russian Orthodox Christians parted ways with the local Greek community and joined the Russian Orthodox Church in Hawaii under the Omophorion of Archbishop Anthony of Los Angeles; they formed the St. Mark of Ephesus Russian Orthodox Mission. In the early 1980s, this mission parish was later re-consecrated under the heavenly protection of the Mother of God and is now known as the Holy Theotokos of Iveron Russian Orthodox Church. In the late 1990s, the pastor of the Russian Orthodox community, Father Anatole Lyovin, was ordained to serve the Orthodox faithful in Hawaii. Currently this parish is without a permanent structure, but there are plans to build the first Russian Orthodox church in Honolulu.
Fr. Anatole also oversees the Russian Orthodox mission communities on Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii. These Russian communities are under the spiritual care of Archbishop +Kyrill (Dmitrieff) of San Francisco (ROCOR).
The Greek Orthodox Church (GOARCH)
In the mid 1960s, a Greek Orthodox community established a Greek Orthodox mission under the auspices of the Greek Archdiocese. This community became known as the Ss. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church. The current (and temporary) pastor of the Greek Orthodox community in Hawaii is Fr. Demetrius Dogias, who was assigned to the parish in Honolulu in 2007. This community is well-known for its annual Greek Festival held at Ala Moana Beach Park near Waikiki.
In the 1990s, on the Island of Maui, a Greek Orthodox mission was established. This mission is served by clergy of Ss. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Honolulu. These two Greek communities are under the care of Metr. Gerasimos (Michaleas) of San Francisco (GOARCH).
The Serbian Orthodox Church
In the early 1990s, a Serbian community established an Orthodox mission dedicated to St. Lazar of Kosovo. The Serbian mission later became inactive, and its remaining members joined the local Russian and Greek churches. There has been a recent interest within the Serbian Orthodox community in Hawaii to re-establish this mission. In recent months, visiting clergy (including the Serbian Bishop Maxim (Vasilijevic) of Western America) have come from the mainland to minister to them.
The Antiochian Orthodox Church
In 2003, the short-lived St. Paul the Apostle Antiochian Orthodox Mission was established in Honolulu at Fort


What Is Similar To Alexithymia?
Is alexithymia on the autism spectrum?
Alexithymia, Not Autism Spectrum Disorder, Predicts Perceived Attachment to Parents in School-Age Children.
Alexithymia is defined as a limited ability in the cognitive processing of emotions..
What does alexithymia mean?
Are there age differences on identifying emotions?
There was no overall age effect on emotion identification, but a significant interaction was found such that older participants were worse at identifying sadness but better at identifying happiness compared with younger participants.
What is it like to have alexithymia?
People who do have alexithymia may describe themselves as having difficulties with expressing emotions that are deemed socially appropriate, such as happiness on a joyous occasion. Others may furthermore have trouble identifying their emotions. Such individuals don't necessarily have apathy.
Does alexithymia get worse with age?
For instance, one large-scale study found that the prevalence of alexithymia increased with age, with the highest TAS scores obtained by participants aged 85 years and older (Mattila et al., 2006).
What is a narcissistic alexithymia?
Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by grandiosity, self-admiration needs, and empathy deficits (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). An emerging body of work suggests that narcissism is particularly associated with an alexithymia subtype (i.e., difficulties identifying feelings).
What is alexithymia in autism?
Around a half of autistic people have difficulties understanding and describing their own emotions. This is known as Alexithymia. Alexithymia can make anxiety feel worse for autistic people.
Are there subtypes of alexithymia?
Four subtypes of the alexithymia construct have been proposed based on different response patterns to the Cognitive and Affective dimensions of the Bermond-Vorst Alexithymia Questionnaire (BVAQ).
Can a person have no emotions?
Despite the name, the real problem for people with alexithymia isn't so much that they have no words for their emotions, but that they lack the emotions themselves. Still, not everyone with the condition has the same experiences. Some have gaps and distortions in the typical emotional repertoire.
Do psychopaths have alexithymia?
Individuals with psychopathy are self-indulgent, undercontrolled, deceitful, manipulative, charming, and free of anxiety. Like those characterized by the alexithymia prototype, however, they are not introspective, and they lack insight, warmth, and empathy.
Can you have mild alexithymia?
Is alexithymia a form of depression?
Alexithymia is a characteristic style of thinking and feeling involving deficits in the recognition of emotions. It is associated with depression onset and severity in younger adults, but researchers have not yet examined the association between alexithymia and depression severity in clinically depressed older adults.

While the cylinder label is the primary means of identifying the properties of the gas in a cylinder, the colour coding of the cylinder itself, can often time provide a further guide.
Cylinder Shoulder - European Standard Color Coding
The color applied to the shoulder, or curved part, at the top of the cylinder signifies the European standard color coding that has recently come into force. The aim of the standard (EN 1089-3), which has replaced the old cylinder colour scheme (BS349), is to help improve safety standards within the gases industry.
A number of gases have been assigned a specific colour and some of these are shown below:
Cylinder Body - BOC Colour Coding
The colour of the body of the cylinder may differ for the same gas among different gas companies. The BOC cylinder body colours are displayed below:
- Variation in monitor colour settings may impact colours displayed.
- Cylinder colors are a guide ONLY. Labels MUST be used as the primary means of identification cylinder content.

Platforms for social media like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have ingrained themselves into our daily lives. However, the increased use of social media gives rise to various online crimes like cyberbullying, identity theft, online harassment, cyber stalking, etc. Social media forensics is the part of digital forensics that deals with all these cyber issues, legal disputes, and other cases. In this guide, you will get to know what social media forensics is, how it proceeds and why it is important in today's world.
What is Social Media Forensics?
Social media forensics is the branch of digital forensics that deals with the collection, analysis, and prevention of digital evidence from social media platforms to solve cyber crimes. As almost everyone uses social media platforms to share their personal and professional lives, they have become an integral or valuable source of evidence in criminal, civil, or corporate investigations. To safeguard individuals or companies, social media forensic used as a preventive tool.
The ultimate goal of social media forensics is to identify and collect relevant digital data in a forensically sound manner and analyze it to extract valuable results. To conduct this activity smoothly, it involves using various tools and techniques like metadata analysis, keyword research, user profiling, and network analysis.
Social media forensics extracts evidence like posts, comments, messages, photos, videos, or location tags. To confirm witness testimony, identify suspects, and determine a person's behaviors, preferences, and connections during an investigation, investigators use this information.
How Social Media Forensics Works?
There are various stages to the process of examining digital evidence from social media networks.
The first step is to identify the social media platforms or accounts that are related to the case. To determine the social media platform or account that is related to the investigation, information must be gathered from witnesses, suspects, and a number of other sources.
When those have been located, gathering digital evidence from the pertinent social media accounts and platforms follows next. This entails extracting pertinent data from posts, comments, messages, photographs, videos, and location data using a number of tools and methodologies.
To ensure that they are admissible in a court of law, the shreds of evidence collected are preserved forensically. It should be taken care that the evidence is not altered or tampered with during the extraction process.
The saved digital evidence is then examined to get insightful information. Various tools and methods are used to analyze the data, such as network analysis, user profiling, keyword searches, etc.
In order for the court to use the evidence discovered during the analysis for subsequent proceedings, it is then provided in the form of a report. This can entail drafting summaries of the analysis' conclusions for reports and offering expert testimony in court.
Generally, social media forensics requires expertise and specialized knowledge in digital forensics, social platforms, and legal procedures. It is a complex and challenging field that requires in-depth knowledge and a detailed focus on minor details.
Why Social Media Forensics is Important?
Social media is the primary channel of communication in today's world. People are actively using it to share information about their personal and professional lives. This means you can get valuable evidence in criminal, civil, or corporate investigations.
Social media platforms are evolving with new features introduced regularly. In order to gain relevant information from these platforms, it is important to stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and tools.
A social media investigation can provide valuable certification or contradiction of witness statements and challenge or support witness statements. It can provide you with insight into an individual's behavior, preferences, and relationships.
To draw witness profiles or learn more about the target, investigators utilize this data. Defense prosecutors and private investigators can use this evidence in criminal and civil proceedings.
Social media investigations required legal and ethical considerations. Investigators must adhere to privacy laws and rules, such as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
During the process of investigation, the consent of the person who is scrutinizing is remain secure. Legal repercussions, including civil litigation and criminal penalties, may follow from a failure to get consent.
As an investigative tool in instances involving digital evidence, social media forensic is gaining importance. In order to conduct successful investigations, organizations and law enforcement can utilize social media forensics.
Organizations and law enforcement can better unearth digital evidence and conduct their investigations effectively and efficiently by using this technology. For online investigations, social media forensics must be part of an overall data analysis strategy, not just one part.

Navigation of a boat requires that you know the regulations for all of the waterways. Boat navigation is typically done by using a combination of buoys and daymarks. However, when a waterway you want to navigate is unfamiliar a navigation chart can be used.
Familiarize yourself with the waterway that you want to navigate. This can be a river channel, an inland lake or out in the ocean. Learn the types of markers that you can use to find your bearings. Markers that are used on bodies of water include buoys and daymarks
A buoy is a navigation aid that is designed to float on water. They are available for navigation, mooring and fishing. Only navigation buoys are used to aid the navigation of your boat.
When you return from a trip to the dock or port the position of the buoys is important. You will need to stay to the port side of a green buoy and to the starboard side of a red buoy
A daymark is a numbered marker that is mounted on a piling. A red colored daymark is a triangle shape with an even number. A green colored daymark is a square shape with an odd number. These are placed in shallower water than buoys.
Daymarks have the same navigation rules as buoys. A red daymark needs to be on the port side or your boat and a green daymark on the right.
The symbols found on a navigation chart are used to indicate degrees, minutes and seconds for latitude and longitude. The top and bottom of a navigational chart will have the latitude and longitude. Degrees in latitude are found on the left and right sides of the chart.
One minute of latitude on a navigational chart is equal to 1 nautical mile.
