Feb. 26, 2009 -- Driving may be more dangerous in the South than any other
place in the country, the CDC says.
In 2005, the latest year for which statistics are available, 45,520 deaths
in the U.S. were related to motor vehicles, according to the CDC.
The Northeast had the lowest average annual rate of motor vehicle-related
fatalities, 9.8 per 100,000 people in the period 1999 to 2005. The rate in the
South was almost twice that, at 19.5.
Age, gender, and race also played a factor in motor vehicle-related

Perspectives on key principles of generalist medical practice in public service in Sub-Saharan Africa: a qualitative study
The original publication is available at _URL_
Abstract Background: The principles and practice of Family Medicine that arose in developed Western countries have been imported and adopted in African countries without adequate consideration of their relevance and appropriateness to the African context. In this study we attempted to elicit a priori principles of generalist medical practice from the experience of long-serving medical officers in a variety of African counties, through which we explored emergent principles of Family Medicine in our own context. Methods A descriptive study design was utilized, using qualitative methods. 16 respondents who were clinically active medical practitioners, working as generalists in the public services or non-profit sector for at least 5 years, and who had had no previous formal training or involvement in academic Family Medicine, were purposively selected in 8 different countries in southern, western and east Africa, and interviewed. Results The respondents highlighted a number of key issues with respect to the external environment within which they work, their collective roles, activities and behaviours, as well as the personal values and beliefs that motivate their behaviour. The context is characterized by resource constraints, high workload, traditional health beliefs, and the difficulty of referring patients to the next level of care. Generalist clinicians in sub-Saharan Africa need to be competent across a wide range of clinical disciplines and procedural skills at the level of the district hospital and clinic, in both chronic and emergency care. They need to understand the patient's perspective and context, empowering the patient and building an effective doctor-patient relationship. They are also managers, focused on coordinating and improving the quality of clinical care through teamwork, training and mentoring other health workers in the generalist setting, while being life-long learners themselves. However, their role in the community, was found to be more aspirational than real. Conclusions The study derived a set of principles for the practice of generalist doctors in sub-Saharan Africa based on the reported activities and approaches of the respondents. Patient-centred care using a biopsychosocial approach remains as a common core principle despite wide variations in context. Procedural and hospital care demands a higher level of skills particularly in rural areas, and a community orientation is desirable, but not widely practiced. The results have implications for the postgraduate training of family physicians in sub-Saharan Africa, and highlight questions regarding the realization of community-orientated primary care.

K'inich Janaab' Pakal[pronunciation?] (March 603 – August 683)[1] was ruler of the Maya polity of Palenque in the Late Classic period of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican chronology. During a long reign of some 68 years Pakal was responsible for the construction or extension of some of Palenque's most notable surviving inscriptions and monumental architecture.
Before his name was securely deciphered from extant Maya inscriptions, this ruler had been known by an assortment of nicknames and approximations, including Pakal[pronunciation?] (or Pacal), "Sun Shield", "8 Ahau", and (familiarly) as Pacal the Great. The word pakal means "shield" in the Maya language.
In modern sources his name is also sometimes appended with a regnal number,[2] to distinguish him from other Janaab' Pakals that either preceded or followed him in the dynastic lineage of Palenque. Confusingly, he has at times been referred to as either "Pakal I" or "Pakal II". Reference to him as Pakal II alludes to his maternal grandfather (who died in 612) also being named Janaab' Pakal. However, although his grandfather was a personage of ajaw ranking, he does not himself appear to have been a king. When instead the name Pakal I is used, this serves to distinguish him from two later known successors to the Palenque rulership, Upakal K'inich Janaab' Pakal (ruled c. 742, aka "[K'inich Janaab'] Pakal II") and Wak Kimi Janaab' Pakal (aka [Janaab'] Pakal III), the last-known Palenque ruler, who acceded in 799.
Pakal ascended the throne at age 12 in July, 615 - Long Count 5 lamat 1 mol,[3] and lived to the age of 80. He expanded Palenque's power in the western part of the Maya states and initiated a building program at his capital that produced some of Maya civilization's finest art and architecture. He was preceded as ruler of Palenque by his mother, Lady Sak K'uk'. As the Palenque dynasty seems to have had Queens only when there was no eligible male heir, Sak K'uk' transferred rulership to her son upon his official maturity.
After his death, Pakal was succeeded by his son K'inich Kan B'alam II. A younger son, K'inich K'an Joy Chitam II, succeeded his brother K'inich Kan B'alam II. After his death, Pakal was deified and was said to communicate with his descendants; he was buried within the Temple of Inscriptions. Though Palenque had been examined by archaeologists before, the secret to opening his tomb — closed off by a stone slab with stone plugs in the holes, which had until then escaped the attention of archaeologists—was discovered by Mexican archaeologist Alberto Ruz Lhuillier in 1948. It took four years to clear the rubble from the stairway leading down to Pakal's tomb, but was finally uncovered in 1952.[4] His skeletal remains were still lying in his coffin, wearing a jade mask and bead necklaces, surrounded by sculptures and stucco reliefs depicting the ruler's transition to divinity and figures from Maya mythology. Traces of pigment show that these were once colorfully painted, common of much Maya sculpture at the time.[5]
Whether the bones in the tomb are really those of Pakal is under debate because analysis of the wear on the skeleton's teeth places the age of the owner at death as 40 years younger than Pakal would have been at his death. Epigraphers insist that the inscriptions on the tomb indicate that it is indeed K'inich Janaab' Pakal entombed within, and that he died at the age of 80 after ruling for around 70 years. Some contest that the glyphs refer to two people with the same name or that an unusual method for recording time was used, but other experts in the field say that allowing for such possibilities would go against everything else that is known about the Maya calendar and records of events. The most commonly accepted explanation for the irregularity is that Pakal, being an aristocrat, had access to softer, less abrasive food than the average person so that his teeth naturally acquired less wear.[6] Despite the controversy, it remains one of the most spectacular finds of Maya archeology. A replica of his tomb is found at the National Museum of Anthropology and History in Mexico City.
Carved lid of the tomb of K'inich Janaab' Pakal in the Temple of the Inscriptions.
Iconography of Pakal's sarcophagus lid[edit]
The large carved stone sarcophagus lid in the Temple of Inscriptions is a unique piece of Classic Maya art. Iconographically, it is closely related to the large wall panels of the temples of the Cross and the Foliated Cross centered on world trees. Around the edges of the lid is a band with cosmological signs, including those for sun, moon, and star, as well as the heads of six named noblemen of varying rank.[7] The central image is that of a cruciform world tree. Beneath Pakal is one of the heads of a celestial two-headed serpent viewed frontally. Both the king and the serpent head on which he seems to rest are framed by the open jaws of a funerary serpent, a common iconographic device for signalling entrance into, or residence in, the realm(s) of the dead. The king himself wears the attributes of the Tonsured maize god - in particular a turtle ornament on the breast - and is shown in a peculiar posture that may denote rebirth.[8] Interpretation of the lid has raised controversy. Linda Schele saw Pakal falling down the Milky Way into the southern horizon,[9] a view that would not appear to have found general acceptance among scholars.
Pakal and his sarcophagus in popular culture[edit]
Erich von Däniken's "Maya Astronaut"[edit]
Pakal's tomb has been the focus of attention of some "ancient astronaut" enthusiasts since its appearance in Erich von Däniken's 1968 best seller, Chariots of the Gods?. Von Däniken reproduced a drawing of the sarcophagus lid, incorrectly labeling it as being from "Copan" and comparing Pacal's pose[10] to that of Project Mercury astronauts in the 1960s, interpreting drawings underneath him as rockets, and offering it as evidence of a supposed extraterrestrial influence on the ancient Maya.
Von Däniken's claim is not considered a credible interpretation by any professional Mayanist. For example Ian Graham responded, "Well I certainly don't see any need to regard him as a space man. I don't see any oxygen tubes. I see a very characteristically drawn Maya face."[citation needed]
José Argüelles' "Pacal Votan"[edit]
Another example of this carving's manifestation in pseudoarchaeology is the identification by José Argüelles of "Pacal Votan" as an incarnation named "Valum Votan," who will act as a "closer of the cycle" in 2012 (an event that is also significant on Argüelles' "13 Moon" calendar). Daniel Pinchbeck, in his book 2012: The Return of Quetzalquatl (2006), also uses the name "Votan" in reference to Pakal. However, this name is not used for Pakal by Mayanist researchers such as academic archaeologists, epigraphers, and iconographers. Argüelles claims a connection between Pakal and the semi-historical Toltec figure Topiltzin Ce Acatl Quetzalcoatl, but this is not supported by archaeological or epigraphic evidence. New Age interpretations of Pakal's tomb are a cornerstone of contemporary Mayanism.

Polymers and UV Sensitivity
Date: June 2006
Why polymers with aromatic groups inside their
chain (as polycarbonate or PET) are less sensitive to UV then
polymers with side aromatic groups (PS)?
The UV sensitivity of a polymer depends on many factors than the
nominal chemical formula. Commercial polymers are most often
"formulated" with any number of additives to achieve a desired
balance of properties. So your statement may not be universally
true. Neglecting that caveat, the UV degradation process involves
the absorption of UV radiation (usually by the aromatic group) to
form a free radical that then initiates a series of different
reactions -- hydrogen abstraction, chain scission,..., and so on.
An appended aromatic group is more mobile than an aromatic group in
the primary polymer chain, so it has more freedom to initiate these
degradation reactions. The aromatic group in the main chain is "tied
down" so the degradation reactions "tend" to be slower.
One of the reasons is that aromatic groups within the main chain
(such as those in PET) may be conjugated through carbonyl groups or
heteroatoms. Such combination of aromaticity, conjugation and
heteroatoms tends to lower the light absorption onset and the lambda
max (the wavelengths that the polymer can absorb). Moreover, this
combination also allows for multiple quantum levels of absorption so
that many different wavelengths can be absorbed.
Polymers with aromatic groups in the side chain (such as
polystyrene) are not conjugated since the aromatic group is
separated by the single bonds of the main chain.
However, polymers with side chains that have conjugation and
heteroatoms within the side chain are UV sensitive.

Real numbers[edit]
Further information: Decimal representation
Every real number has a (possibly infinite) decimal representation; i.e., it can be written as
 x = \mathop{\rm sign} \sum_{i\in\mathbb Z} a_i\,10^i
 - sign \in \{+,-\}, which is related to the sign function,
 - Z is the set of all integers (positive, negative, and zero), and
 - ai ∈ { 0,1,...,9 } for all iZ are its decimal digits, equal to zero for all i greater than some number (that number being the common logarithm of |x|).
Such a sum converges as more and more negative values of i are included, even if there are infinitely many non-zero ai.
Rational numbers (e.g., p/q) with prime factors in the denominator other than 2 and 5 (when reduced to simplest terms) have a unique recurring decimal representation.
Non-uniqueness of decimal representation[edit]
Consider those rational numbers which have only the factors 2 and 5 in the denominator, i.e., which can be written as p/(2a5b). In this case there is a terminating decimal representation. For instance, 1/1 = 1, 1/2 = 0.5, 3/5 = 0.6, 3/25 = 0.12 and 1306/1250 = 1.0448. Such numbers are the only real numbers which do not have a unique decimal representation, as they can also be written as a representation that has a recurring 9, for instance 1 = 0.99999..., 1/2 = 0.499999..., etc. The number 0 = 0/1 is special in that it has no representation with recurring 9.
This leaves the irrational numbers. They also have unique infinite decimal representations, and can be characterised as the numbers whose decimal representations neither terminate nor recur.
So in general the decimal representation is unique, if one excludes representations that end in a recurring 9.
The same trichotomy holds for other base-n positional numeral systems:
 - Terminating representation: rational where the denominator divides some nk
 - Recurring representation: other rational
 - Non-terminating, non-recurring representation: irrational
A version of this even holds for irrational-base numeration systems, such as golden mean base representation.
Decimal computation[edit]
Diagram of the world's earliest decimal multiplication table (c. 305 BC) from the Warring States period
Decimal computation was carried out in ancient times in many ways, typically in rod calculus, with decimal multiplication table used in ancient China and with sand tables in India and Middle East or with a variety of abaci.
Modern computer hardware and software systems commonly use a binary representation internally (although many early computers, such as the ENIAC or the IBM 650, used decimal representation internally).[6] For external use by computer specialists, this binary representation is sometimes presented in the related octal or hexadecimal systems.
Both computer hardware and software also use internal representations which are effectively decimal for storing decimal values and doing arithmetic. Often this arithmetic is done on data which are encoded using some variant of binary-coded decimal,[7] especially in database implementations, but there are other decimal representations in use (such as in the new IEEE 754 Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic).[8]
Decimal arithmetic is used in computers so that decimal fractional results can be computed exactly, which is not possible using a binary fractional representation. This is often important for financial and other calculations.[9]
Many ancient cultures calculated with numerals based on ten: Egyptian hieroglyphs, in evidence since around 3000 BC, used a purely decimal system,[10][11] just as the Cretan hieroglyphs (ca. 1625−1500 BC) of the Minoans whose numerals are closely based on the Egyptian model.[12][13] The decimal system was handed down to the consecutive Bronze Age cultures of Greece, including Linear A (ca. 18th century BC−1450 BC) and Linear B (ca. 1375−1200 BC) — the number system of classical Greece also used powers of ten, including, like the Roman numerals did, an intermediate base of 5.[14] Notably, the polymath Archimedes (ca. 287–212 BC) invented a decimal positional system in his Sand Reckoner which was based on 108[14] and later led the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss to lament what heights science would have already reached in his days if Archimedes had fully realized the potential of his ingenious discovery.[15] The Hittites hieroglyphs (since 15th century BC), just like the Egyptian and early numerals in Greece, was strictly decimal.[16]
The Egyptian hieratic numerals, the Greek alphabet numerals, the Hebrew alphabet numerals, the Roman numerals, the Chinese numerals and early Indian Brahmi numerals are all non-positional decimal systems, and required large numbers of symbols. For instance, Egyptian numerals used different symbols for 10, 20, to 90, 100, 200, to 900, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, to 10,000.[17] The world's earliest positional decimal system was the Chinese rod calculus[18]

History of decimal fractions[edit]
counting rod decimal fraction 1/7
According to Joseph Needham and Lam Lay Yong, decimal fractions were first developed and used by the Chinese in the 1st century BC, and then spread to the Middle East and from there to Europe.[18][19] The written Chinese decimal fractions were non-positional.[19] However, counting rod fractions were positional.[18]
Qin Jiushao in his book Mathematical Treatise in Nine Sections (1247) denoted 0.96644 by
Counting rod 0.pngCounting rod h9 num.pngCounting rod v6.pngCounting rod h6.pngCounting rod v4.pngCounting rod h4.png, meaning
The Jewish mathematician Immanuel Bonfils invented decimal fractions around 1350, anticipating Simon Stevin, but did not develop any notation to represent them.[21]
The Persian mathematician Jamshīd al-Kāshī claimed to have discovered decimal fractions himself in the 15th century, though J. Lennart Berggren notes that positional decimal fractions were used five centuries before him by Arab mathematician Abu'l-Hasan al-Uqlidisi as early as the 10th century.[22]Al Khwarizmi introduced fraction to Islamic countries in the early 9th century, his fraction presentation was an exact copy of traditional Chinese mathematical fraction from The Mathematical Classic of Sunzi.[18] This form of fraction with numerator on top and denominator at bottom without a horizontal bar was also used by 10th century Abu'l-Hasan al-Uqlidisi and 15th century Jamshīd al-Kāshī's work "Arithmetic Key".[18][23]
Stevin-decimal notation.svg
A forerunner of modern European decimal notation was introduced by Simon Stevin in the 16th century.[24]
Natural languages[edit]
The ingenious method of expressing every possible number using a set of ten symbols emerged in India. Several Indian languages show a straightforward decimal system. Many Indo-Aryan and Dravidian languages have numbers between 10 and 20 expressed in a regular pattern of addition to 10[25]
The Hungarian language also uses a straightforward decimal system. All numbers between 10 and 20 are formed regularly (e.g. 11 is expressed as "tízenegy" literally "one on ten"), as with those between 20-100 (23 as "huszonhárom" = "three on twenty").
A straightforward decimal rank system with a word for each order 10十,100百,1000千,10000万, and in which 11 is expressed as ten-one and 23 as two-ten-three, and 89345 is expressed as 8 (ten thousands) 万9 (thousand) 千3 (hundred) 百4 (tens) 十 5 is found in Chinese, and in Vietnamese with a few irregularities. Japanese, Korean, and Thai have imported the Chinese decimal system. Many other languages with a decimal system have special words for the numbers between 10 and 20, and decades. For example in English 11 is "eleven" not "ten-one" or "one-teen".
Some psychologists suggest irregularities of the English names of numerals may hinder children's counting ability.[26]
Other bases[edit]
Main article: positional notation
Some cultures do, or did, use other bases of numbers.
 - Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures such as the Maya used a base-20 system (presumably using all twenty fingers and toes).
 - The Yuki language in California and the Pamean languages[27] in Mexico have octal (base-8) systems because the speakers count using the spaces between their fingers rather than the fingers themselves.[28]

A remarkable archeological site made unforgettable by its dramatic setting. It is also proposed that the site should be named the eighth wonder of the world, indicating it is in the same league as other international wonders such as the Grand Canyon and Ancient Pyramids. Translated as 'Lion Rock' into English, the name of the monument indicates the way in which visitors used to begin their final ascent to the top – through the open jaws and throat ('giriya') of a lion ('sinha'). Unfortunately, the only remains of this lion figure are the gigantic paws, sculpted into the side of the rock. The topography of the area is flat except for the massive rock outcrop of the fortress itself (which rises an incredible 600 ft up from the green scrub jungle). The unusual rock is particularly interesting due to its flat top (nearly an acre in size), that was used in its entirety to build King Kasyapa's fortress complex, still evident by the presence of the extensive ruins.
Shortly after reaching the base of the rock, two incongruous metal spiral staircases lead to and from a sheltered cave in the sheer rock face that holds Sri Lanka's most famous sequence of frescoes, popularly referred to as the Sigiriya Damsels (no flash photography).These busty beauties were painted in the fifth century and arc the only nonreligious paintings to have survived from ancient Sri Lanka; they're now one of the island's most iconic – and most relentlessly reproduced – images. Once described as the largest picture gallery in the world, it's thought that these frescoes would originally have covered an area some 140 metres long by 40 metres high, though only 21 damsels now survive out of an original total of some five hundred (a number of paintings were destroyed by a vandal in 1967, while a few of the surviving pictures are roped off out of sight).

(such as OTI) or conjunctions (such as KAI, DE, and hINA), or 2) by some of
the member clauses taking a non-finite form (infinitives or participles) as
modifiers of, or constituents of another clause. Of course, both of these
strategies may be used in the same sentence. (Given the regular use of
asyndeton in the NT, you might also want to allow for a null conjunction,
allowing adjoining clauses with strong thematic overlap to constitute a
single sentence even if no complementizer, conjunction, or non-finite verb
form is present. This position is somewhat debateable, though. Why not just
call these 'closely related sentences' rather than trying to make them
asyndetic clauses of the same sentence?)
Well, this is a rough-and-ready definition which will almost certainly
prove inadequate in some texts, but it works for the vast majority.

This module is a synoptic assessment module incorporating all previous modules in the programme and constitutes the Applied Knowledge Assessment component of 'Finals'.
This module comprises the Applied Knowledge Assessment (currently MCQ format) assessment of 'Finals' along with revision sessions.
The BM programmes are highly contextualised and integrated programmes in which the application of knowledge and understanding, clinical skills and professional practice applicable to medicine are learned through a range of modules none of which are standalone modules and therefore this module should be recognised by teachers and students alike as part of the whole programme. The Applied Knowledge assessment in BM final year is studied along with 3 other assessment modules (Clinical Procedural Skills assessment (CPSA), Workplace based assessment module and Data interpretation and Summarisation assessment module), The emphasis of the assessments for each of the modules aligns with the focus of learning for that module, however the integrated nature of the course means that there will undoubtedly be overlap and aspects of the assessment in each module will draw upon learning from modules studied in earlier years as well as modules studied in that year. The final year Applied Knowledge Assessment module has been purposely designed to assess learning outcomes covered in any of the modules within the programme.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries : MHI Invests in C-Zero, a U.S. Hard Tech Startup, to Accelerate Efforts to Produce Clean Hydrogen from Natural Gas
|02/10/2021 | 03:19am|
C-Zeros technology uses innovative thermocatalysis to split methane the primary molecule in natural gas into hydrogen and solid carbon in a process known as methane pyrolysis. The hydrogen can be used to help decarbonize a wide array of existing applications, including hydrogen production for fuel cell vehicles, while the carbon can be permanently sequestered. When renewable natural gas is used as the feedstock, C-Zero's technology can even be carbon negative, effectively extracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and permanently storing it in the form of high-density solid carbon.
With the investment, MHI continues to strengthen and diversify the hydrogen value chain, advancing both strategic initiatives for its energy transition business and its commitment to making continued progress toward global carbon neutrality goals. MHI joins a consortium of investors, including
"MHI is committed to expanding the hydrogen value chain from production to utilization by developing technologies such as the hydrogen gas turbine, and by partnering with innovative technology and solution providers," said
"We are excited to enter the next stage of the company's growth with support from investors who share our desire to scale up a technology with the potential to decarbonize over a quarter of the world's energy consumption," said
The investment signals cooperation around accelerating the use of "turquoise hydrogen," which could further strengthen the hydrogen value chain. Hydrogen produced via methane pyrolysis processes like C-Zero's is increasingly being referred to as "turquoise hydrogen," as it combines the benefits of both "blue hydrogen," (SMR with CO2 sequestration) and "green hydrogen" (produced by splitting water via electrolysis) by being low cost and low emissions, respectively.
As part of the investment, MHI will examine the potential of using the company's technology for the production and supply of hydrogen that could then be utilized for power generation systems and the decarbonization of industry.

It takes place in the Crapsack World of New York City in the (then) far-future year of 1999, beset by overpopulation and environmental collapse, where a bland artificial food called soylent (made from soy and lentils) is the best thing most people ever get to eat.
When a wealthy racketeer named "Big Mike" is killed, NYPD detective Andy Rusch is assigned to investigate the murder—a daunting task, in a city of 35 million inhabitants. Rusch finds himself getting romantically involved with the dead man's concubine, Shirl. Meanwhile, the killer—a poor immigrant boy named Billy Chung—attempts to elude capture.
This novel provides examples of:
- 20 Minutes into the Future: The book was written in 1966 and set in 1999.
- Crapsack World: In addition to the everything crapsack-y about the movie, the transportation system has completely broken down. In other words, everyone is trapped in the city; the only non-human-powered vehicles mentioned are old buses taken from a history museum, used by the police and running on extremely low grade fuel.
- Eat the Dog: "Leg of dog" is one of the rare delicacies offered at a black-market butcher shop.
- The End Is Nigh: A secondary character is Peter, a defrocked priest turned hermit who's eagerly awaiting the turn of the millennium, which he assumes will bring the end of the world.
- Future Food Is Artificial: Soylent steaks made of soy and lentils are an expensive item.
- Failed Future Forecast: The novel's "overpopulated" dystopia has a world population of around seven billion—a number surpassed in the early 2010s.
- Gaia's Lament: Earth's fate as a whole.
- Global Warming: Barely a page goes by without someone complaining about the ever-present humidity... in New York at winter time.
- New Year Has Come: The novel ends shortly after midnight on January 1, 2000.
- Not His Sled: An unusual example thanks to Adaptation Displacement. Soylent green actually is just processed soy.
- Only Electric Sheep Are Cheap: Even soy-based faux steak is expensive and worth practically rioting over.
- Post-Peak Oil: Cities effectively become their own totally isolated city states when the oil becomes too rare to use. The only form of long-distance transport mentioned are large freighters (shipping food to the millions effectively trapped in cities); on the local level, motorized transit has been replaced with human-powered "pedicabs" and "tugtrucks".
- Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: As previously mentioned, apparently Harrison couldn't imagine a world with 7 billion people (more than double the world population of 3.4 billion at time of writing) not having all the problems his book shows.

Global protest is changing. In the 1980s and 1990s, single-cause forms of protest to save the whale, protect the rain forest, or advocate indigenous rights increasingly replaced the lifelong loyalties that people had previously demonstrated through class-based, unionized forms of protest. This article argues that we may now be seeing a second shift in global protest that combines personal sub-politics with a collective, religious vision. I will illustrate how twists in political geo-politics and modernity have allowed for the emergence of not only religious forms of social movements but also religious forms of global protest. An analysis of the paradoxical links between faith and finance in the Murabitun movement, a global Sufi brotherhood of converts to Islam from Europe, Africa, and the United States, provides the basis for the argument.

Real Life Heroes Life Storybook, 3rd Edition is a resourceful tool for children with traumatic stress. The resiliency-centered format and structure of the volume is coupled with treatment and sessions outlined in the Real Life Heroes Toolkit for Treating Traumatic Stress in Children and Families. This updated edition uses a creative arts approach, encouraging children to work with dependable adults to develop autobiographies through a wide range of activities, including drawings, music, movies, and narrative. By helping children feel protection from adversity and stressors that exist in everyday life, this workbook gives children a sense of value that can promote transformation of troubled children from victims into tomorrow's heroes.

Richard Kagan, PhD, is the author and co-author of 10 books on treatment and services for children and families with traumatic stress and has published over 30 articles, chapters, and papers on practice and research issues in trauma therapy, child welfare, foster care, adoption, professional development, program evaluation, and quality improvement in family service and behavioral healthcare programs.
Featured Author Profiles
"Real Life Heroes Storybook is a resiliency masterpiece. Built on the historical Hero Archetype, Dr. Kagan invites traumatized children to acknowledge their courage, express their sorrow, and embrace the hero's path to healing. Real Life Heroes Storybook provides creative resiliency based interventions that guide traumatized children through their pain into recovery by discovering and utilizing their internal strengths and significant personal relationships to overcome adversity and become the real heroes of their own lives."—James Henry, PhD, director, Western Michigan University Children's Trauma Assessment Center
"The third edition of the Real Life Heroes Storybook is an impressive continuation of Dr. Kagan's already long list of contributions to supporting stronger, healthier, and more resourced outcomes for young people who have experienced traumatic stress. Through the use of ritual, psychoeducation, expressive strategies, skill-building, narrative, and relational engagement, the workbook provides a powerful tool to promote healing in trauma-impacted youth. The language in the workbook is child, caregiver, and provider-friendly, and the facilitated process of self-examination is empowering rather than pathologizing. Dr. Kagan truly believes that every child and every caregiver has the potential to be a hero—and that "heroism" is often found in every day actions—and this vision shines through in his work."—Margaret Blaustein, PhD, co-author, Treating Traumatic Stress in Children and Adolescents; The Trauma Center at Justice Resource Institute
"Real Life Heroes Life Storybook and Toolkit provides an effective step by step process for clinicians and caregivers to guide children and family members in making sense of the pain in their lives that is due to past trauma. The process provided in RLH is comprehensive in its treatment components. However, what strikes me most is how RLH very tenderly and carefully enables the survivor to recognize that their memories and the subsequent resulting emotions move / fluctuate and will need some anchoring based in the reality of their innocence. In addition, RLH enables practice for survivors in how to effectively handle the sensory based triggers that will assault them in the future. I unequivocally recommend both Real Life Heroes Life Storybook and Toolkit for practitioners."—William E Painter Jr, MS, senior director, Clinical Practice, Child and Family Center of Excellence, Institute for Family Centered Services / The Mentor Network
"Providing a step-by-step process through which to guide children, the information and activities in this book can help build/rebuild a sense of safety, enhance supportive relationships and attachments and start to generate hope and positivity for the future. (...) for those who are committed to engaging in this therapeutic process with a child, this book is an excellent resource for doing so." - Youthinmind

Spark Your Creativity and Innovate Today with Michael Hendrix & Panos Panay
Spark Your Creativity and Innovate Today with Michael Hendrix & Panos Panay
In today's episode, we cover the power of music and listening with Panos A. Panay and R. Michael Hendrix. Panay is a Cypress-born entrepreneur and educator, Hendrix is an American graphic designer and entrepreneur, and both are the authors of Two Beats Ahead: What Musical Minds Teach Us About Innovation, featuring interviews with some of the top creative geniuses of our time.
Some of the best music humans create comes from collaborative work between artists, but why is collaboration so important, what should you avoid when collaborating with others on any project, and why is it important to focus on the process of creating something just as much as the end product?
What to Listen For
The Power of Listening - 0:00
What is the difference between hearing music and listening to it?
Why is the silence between notes more important than the notes themselves?
What creative acts do design and music have in common?
What are you NOT doing if you feel like you run out of things to talk about in a conversation?
The Power of Collaboration - 16:45
What great approaches to collaboration can you use in your life and business to come up with new ideas?
Why are trust and respect so important when pursuing collaborative opportunities with individuals and groups?
What is missing from project based learning that can lead to a total failure for the teams working on the projects?
What can you do if you find yourself on a team with people you don't like or get along with?
What conversation are professional organizations and businesses not having and why is it killing the effectiveness of project teams?
Process Focused vs Outcome Focused - 29:38
Why is it more important to focus on the process of creating something rather than just the end result?
How do you work with individuals who refuse to compromise when working on collaborative projects?
What mistake do many companies make when trying to find collaboration opportunities?
How do you bring out the individuality in your team members to get the best of the collaboration?
Humans have likely been creating music for as long as we have been around. And the process of making music can teach us about the values that define humanity. The value of not just the notes, but the silence between them - both contribute to the sound of the music we love and hate. Similarly, it's important for humans to have periods of rest in between periods of effort because in those periods of rest and boredom are when we come up with some of our best ideas. Those periods of rest between intense workouts are when our bodies get stronger. We cannot live fulfilling lives by simply resting all the time nor can we by working all the time. Balance is important in all things.

Driving with man's best friend may be dangerous
A new survey by the American Automobile Association (AAA) and pet products manufacturer, Kurgo, confirms a fact that many RVers already know - that many travelers (80 percent) bring their dogs with them when they're away from home, or just running errands around town. However, the survey also found that many people fail to properly restrain their pets while driving.
The survey suggests that only 17 percent use any form of pet restraint system when driving with their dog. Experts say using a pet restraint system can aid in limiting distractions and helping to protect your pet.
"Restraining your pet when driving can not only help protect your pet, but you and other passengers in your vehicle as well," cautioned Jennifer Huebner-Davidson, AAA national, traffic safety programs manager. "An unrestrained 10-pound dog in a crash at 50 mph will exert roughly 500 pounds of pressure, while an unrestrained 80-pound dog in a crash at only 30 mph will exert 2,400 pounds of pressure. Imagine the devastation that can cause to your pet and anyone in the vehicle in its path."
The survey also found that driving with a dog may cause driver distraction. More than half of those surveyed admitted to petting their dog while driving, while one in five allowed their dog to sit in their lap. Other distracting behaviors drivers admitted to include giving food and water to their dog and playing with their dog.

Graph legend for lines and patches
legend_handle = legend(...)
[legend_h,object_h,plot_h,text_strings] = legend(...)
The legend function places a legend on various types of graphs (line plots, bar graphs, pie charts, etc.). For each line plotted, the legend shows a sample of the line type, marker symbol, and color beside the text label you specify. When plotting filled areas (patch or surface objects), the legend contains a sample of the face color next to the text label.
The font size and font name for the legend strings match the axes FontSize and FontName properties.
legend('string1','string2',...) displays a legend in the current axes using the specified strings to label each set of data.
legend(h,'string1','string2',...) displays a legend on the plot containing the objects identified by the handles in the vector h and uses the specified strings to label the corresponding graphics object (line, barseries, etc.).
legend(M) adds a legend containing the rows of the matrix or cell array of strings M as labels. For matrices, this is the same as legend(M(1,:),M(2,:),...).
legend(h,M) associates each row of the matrix or cell array of strings M with the corresponding graphics object (patch or line) in the vector of handles h.
legend(M,'parameter_name','parameter_value',...) and legend(h,M,'parameter_name','parameter_value',...) allow parameter/value pairs to be set when creating a legend (you can also assign them with set or with the Property Editor or Property Inspector). M must be a cell array of names. Legends inherit the properties of axes, although not all of them are relevant to legend objects.
legend(axes_handle,...) displays the legend for the axes specified by axes_handle.
legend('off') removes the legend in the current axes.
legend(axes_handle,'off') removes the legend in the axes specified by axes_handle.
legend('toggle') toggles the legend visibility. If a legend does not exist, then one is created using default strings. If a legend exists, then toggling its state to invisible does not remove the legend.
legend(axes_handle,'toggle') toggles the legend visibility in the axes specified by axes_handle.
The default string for an object is the value of the object's DisplayName property, if you have defined a value for DisplayName (which you can do using the Property Editor or calling set). Otherwise, legend constructs a string of the form data1, data2, etc. Setting display names is useful when you are experimenting with legends and might forget how objects in a lineseries, for example, are ordered.
When you specify legend strings in a legend command, their respective DisplayNames are set to these strings. If you delete a legend and then create a new legend without specifying labels for it, the values of DisplayName are (re)used as label names. Naturally, the associated plot objects must have a DisplayName property for this to happen: all _series and _group plot objects have a DisplayName property; Handle Graphics® primitives, such as line and patch, do not.
Legends for graphs that contain groups of objects such as lineseries, barseries, contourgroups, etc. created by high-level plotting commands such as plot, bar, contour, etc., by default display a single legend entry for the entire group, regardless of how many member objects it contains. However, you can customize such legends to show individual entries for all or selected member objects and assign a unique DisplayName to any of them. You control how groups appear in the legend by setting values for their Annotation and DisplayName properties with code. For information and examples about customizing legends in this manner, see Control Legend Content in the MATLAB® Graphics documentation.
You can specify EdgeColor and TextColor as RGB triplets or as ColorSpecs. You cannot set these colors to 'none'. To hide the box surrounding a legend, set the Box property to 'off'. To allow the background to show through the legend box, set the legend's Color property to 'none', for example,
set(legend_handle, 'Box', 'off')
set(legend_handle, 'Color', 'none')
This is similar to the effect of the command legend boxoff, except that boxoff also hides the legend's border.
You can use a legend's handle to set text properties for all the strings in a legend at once with a cell array of strings, rather than looping through each of them. See the last line of the example below, which demonstrates setting a legend's Interpreter property. In that example, you could reset the String property of the legend as follows:
See the documentation for Text Properties for additional details.
legend('hide') makes the legend in the current axes invisible.
legend(axes_handle,'hide') makes the legend in the axes specified by axes_handle invisible.
legend('show') makes the legend in the current axes visible. A legend is created if one did not exist previously. Legends created automatically are limited to depict only the first 20 lines in the plot; if you need more legend entries, you can manually create a legend for them all with legend('string1','string2',...) syntax.
legend(axes_handle,'show') makes the legend in the axes specified by axes_handle visible.
legend('boxoff') removes the box from the legend in the current axes and makes its background transparent.
legend(axes_handle,'boxoff') removes the box from the legend in the axes specified by axes_handle and makes its background transparent.
legend('boxon') adds a box with an opaque background to the legend in the current axes.
legend(axes_handle,'boxon') adds a box with an opaque background to the legend in the axes specified by axes_handle.
You can also type the above six commands using the syntax
legend keyword
If the keyword is not recognized, it is used as legend text, creating a legend or replacing the current legend.
legend_handle = legend(...) returns the handle to the legend on the current axes, or [] if no legend exists.
legend(...,'Location','location') uses location to determine where to place the legend. location can be either be a 1-by-4 position vector ([left,bottom,width,height]) or one of the following strings.
SpecifierLocation in Axes
Inside plot box near top
Inside bottom
Inside right
Inside left
Inside top right (default for 2-D plots)
Inside top left
Inside bottom right
Inside bottom left
Outside plot box near top
Outside bottom
Outside right
Outside left
Outside top right (default for 3-D plots)
Outside top left
Outside bottom right
Outside bottom left
Least conflict with data in plot
Least unused space outside plot
Using one of the...Outside values for 'Location' ensures that the legend does not overlap the plot, whereas overlaps can occur when you specify any of the other cardinal values. The location property applies to colorbars and legends, but not to axes.
 Note: You can set the legend location by passing the 4-element position vector to the legend function using the 'Location' option. To define the position of an existing legend, use the set function to assign the 4-element position vector to the 'Position' property. You cannot use the Location option with the set function.
Obsolete Location Values
The first column of the following table shows the now-obsolete specifiers for legend locations that were in use prior to Version 7, along with a description of the locations and their current equivalent syntaxes.
 Note: Support for these numeric specifiers will be removed in a future release. Use the supported string specifiers instead.
Obsolete SpecifierLocation in AxesCurrent Specifier
Outside axes on right side
Inside axes
Upper right corner of axes
Upper left corner of axes
Lower left corner of axes
Lower right corner of axes
legend(...,'Orientation','orientation') creates a legend with the legend items arranged in the specified orientation. orientation can be vertical (the default) or horizontal.
[legend_h,object_h,plot_h,text_strings] = legend(...) returns
 - legend_h — Handle of the legend axes
 - object_h — Handles of the line, patch, and text graphics objects used in the legend
 - plot_h — Handles of the lines and other objects used in the plot
 - text_strings — Cell array of the text strings used in the legend
Relationship to Axes
legend associates strings with the objects in the axes in the same order that they are listed in the axes Children property. By default, the legend annotates the current axes.
You can only display one legend per axes. legend positions the legend based on a variety of factors, such as what objects the legend obscures.
The properties that legends do not share with axes are
 - Location
 - Orientation
 - EdgeColor
 - TextColor
 - Interpreter
 - String
Using Keywords as Legend Labels
To use legend keywords like 'Location', 'Orientation', 'Off', 'Hide', or property names as legend labels, pass the string in a cell array to the legend function as,
l = legend({'Location'});
Add a legend to a graph showing a sine and cosine function. The default location is upper right, within the axes:
x = -pi:pi/20:pi;
hleg1 = legend('cos_x','sin_x');
The legend reflects that plot specified a solid, red line ('-ro') for the cosine function and a dash-dot, blue line ('-.b') for the sine function.
Update the legend. Use the returned legend handle, hleg1, to move the legend to the upper left. Also turn off the TeX interpreter to render underscores in legend text literally rather than as subscripts

A certain string-processing language offers a primitive operation which splits a string into two pieces. Since this operation involves copying the original string, it takes n units of time for a string of length n, regardless of the location of the cut. Suppose, now, that you want to break a string into many pieces. The order in which the breaks are made can affect the total running time. For example, if you want to cut a 20-character string at positions 3 and 10, then making the first cut at position 3 incurs a total cost of 20 + 17 = 37, while doing position 10 first has a better cost of 20 + 10 = 30.
Give a dynamic programming algorithm that, given the locations of m cuts in a string of length n, finds the minimum cost of breaking the string into m + 1 pieces.

Metadata Management Series: Weaving Asserted and Discovered Metadata into Your Data Fabric
This series of articles will show how knowledge graphs support the construction of scalable models that mix discoverable with explicitly asserted metadata to afford reasoning and policy enforcement. In this first article, we show how explicitly asserted metadata in a knowledge graph enables automated reasoning.
Data architects create models of their data assets for various purposes, including documentation, optimization, search, classification, and policy enforcement. These models contain "information about data" or metadata. Metadata such as the names and types of tables and columns can be discovered and maintained automatically. And some of these metadata can be automatically linked to one another to represent important relationships like the containment of a column in a table or the lineage of data among assets, such as when a table is constructed using an ETL script.
Unfortunately, some important metadata and some links that connect metadata cannot be discovered automatically. While this is not a new problem, we are seeing it increase as organizations migrate to the Cloud and begin to adopt architectural practices that separate and encapsulate data assets. Data architects compensate by building up a store of asserted knowledge – statements of fact about the semantics of data assets and of connections between them.
Asserted knowledge is another kind of metadata – one that references and depends on the discovered metadata that is automatically discoverable and maintainable using tools. Asserted knowledge is typically informal, and if it is recorded at all, it is in the form of code comments, documents, or spreadsheets. Despite its informality, architects rely on asserted metadata to reason or enforce policy to the point that business outcomes depend on its veracity.
We believe that to properly manage and enforce policy over data assets at scale, asserted metadata should be woven with discovered metadata into a knowledge graph that affords powerful reasoning.
Consider a hypothetical enterprise with two micro services:
- FundManager, which owns the XYZ_Txns table among others, and
- SecurityManager, which manages a system-of-record database of securities.
Suppose FundManager uses a lookup service provided by SecurityManager to look up securities based on some request parameters as depicted here:
Now imagine, that SECURITIES was created as follows:
CREATE TABLE SECURITIES( ID uniqueidentifier PRIMARY KEY, Ticker varchar(8) CUSPID varchar(16)... )
Suppose FundManager calls lookup to retrieve an authoritative ID to use as the value for a column named SecId when it creates new rows in the XYZ_Txns table. When the architect learns this fact, she realizes that if the tables were in the same database, she could relate SecId and ID by a FOREIGN KEY constraint, but because they live in different micro services, it is not possible to declare and enforce such a constraint.
That information was likely not discoverable automatically. Maybe SECURITIES once lived in FundManager where a FOREIGN KEY constraint enforced the connection between ID and SecId, but when a decision was made to split FundManager into two microservices, this information and the guarantee of data integrity were lost.
In any case, this semantic connection is significant and could be used to reason about compliance with certain governance policies. For instance, consider the requirement that the security attributes of every transaction in FundManager are auditable. Those attributes are not part of the XYZ_Txns table, but they are part of SECURITIES. If each attribute is declared NOT NULL in SECURITIES, if SecId is declared NOT NULL in XYZ_Txns (as it is), and if this asserted link from ID to SecId is akin to a FOREIGN KEY constraint, then the data architect should feel confident that the attributes are guaranteed to exist for each SecId and so the requirement is satisfied.
This example provides just one illustration of the kind of reasoning a data architect must do over the metadata she manages. Notice that a key step in this reasoning uses asserted knowledge that refers to metadata (the columns ID and SecId) that are discovered automatically. Without that step, the chain of reasoning breaks, which leaves her potentially in violation of this particular requirement. It is therefore critical that she records this assertion so that this reasoning can be automated. It is also important to protect this assertion from drifting with respect to the discovered metadata (columns ID and SecId) that it references.
The next articles in this series will discuss how to weave this kind of asserted metadata into our model and how to prevent drift. We will examine how the facilities of knowledge graph management systems help with practical issues that arise when managing models containing both types of metadata.
Semantic Optimization makes your complex data workloads more efficient, which in turn improves overall system performance and scalability.
Losing the Middle Tier
Business applications are traditionally complicated to understand and maintain because business logic tends to be scattered in separate tiers of growing code bases, while schema becomes rigid and brittle. The end result is that business logic dissolves in a soup of disparate application code.


{Z} \oplus \mathbb{Z}$ in position $(0,m-1)$ as $\alpha,\beta$ and the $\mathbb{Z}$ in $(m-1,0)$ as $\gamma$ shouldn't we get that the $\mathbb{Z}\oplus\mathbb{Z}$ in $(m-1,m-1)$ is generated by $(\alpha \otimes \gamma,\beta \otimes \gamma)$?
This paper looks useful. I note the comment there that $H^{2(m-1)}(\text{Conf}(\mathbb{R}^3,3);\mathbb{Z})$ is a free $\mathbb{Z}$ module spanned by $A_{21}A_{31}$ and $A_{31}A_{32}$.
One final place that might help is this monograph by Cohen,Lada and May. See specifically page 250.
Hopefully this is of some help!

Shou Sugi Ban (burnt cypress) is a traditional Japanese technique in which coniferous wood is charred on one side. Traditionally, this was done by binding three boards together to form a chimney and starting a fire at the bottom. The original reason for charring was, ironically, fire prevention. As Japanese houses were mostly made of wood, inhabitants of the villages and towns were very aware of fire risks. The scorching of the façades created a fire-retardant carbon layer. They also discovered that this layer offered good protection against vermin and fungus. The ancient art of Shou Sugi Ban is still being used on houses on the islands of Kanawa's prefecture. Shou Sugi Ban or Yakisugi ties in with the Japanese life philosophy of Wabi Sabi, and the pure vision of beauty.
Does the carbon layer always stay the same?
This depends on the type, but in principle the carbon layer of our burnt wood weathers under the influence of wind, rain and hail. The lifespan of the carbon layer depends on the orientation of the facade and the location of the building. The black carbon layer of our burnt wood ages over the years and then acquires a beautiful patina (weathering), such as a light sheen, or a craquelé surface, for example. The natural aging and weathering over time does not detract from the visual appeal, on the contrary, it contributes to it! This fits within the above-mentioned Japanese philosophy of life of Wabi Sabi. On the product data sheets of our products (downloadable on the product page), you can see how the wood ages.
For indoor use we always fix the charred wood. For the exterior we often advise not to fix the wood. This ensures that the charred wood retains a beautiful, natural shine and is also more durable than when the wood is fixed. In the course of time the release of the wood will decrease and for a number of variants this will eventually stop. Most burned types of wood, also for exterior use, can also be fixed if desired. We will be happy to advise you about this.
How do I maintain the wood?
Unfixed planks with a carbon layer do not require any maintenance.
Planks that have been burned and brushed have a stain or oil layer. This wood requires periodic maintenance every three to six years. If you do not maintain Shodoshima / Takamatsu / Sakaide exterior, the stain layer will eventually harden and flake. Below this, the white wood will emerge and 'age'.
The product specification sheet that you will find on each product page explains exactly if and what maintenance the different products need.
