is the original IRC message hash like it is returned by parse_irc_msg.
error => $code, $message, $ircmsg
Emitted when any error occurs. $code is the 3 digit error id string from RFC 1459 or the string 'ERROR'. $message is a description of the error. $ircmsg is the complete error irc message.
You may use AnyEvent::IRC::Util::rfc_code_to_name to convert $code to the error name from the RFC 2812. eg.:
 rfc_code_to_name ('471') => 'ERR_CHANNELISFULL'
NOTE: This event is also emitted when a 'ERROR' message is received.
debug_send => $command, _USER_
Is emitted everytime some command is sent.
debug_recv => $ircmsg
Is emitted everytime some command was received.
$cl = AnyEvent::IRC::Client->new (%args)
This is the constructor of a AnyEvent::IRC::Client object, which stands logically for a client connected to ONE IRC server. You can reuse it and call connect once it disconnected.
NOTE: You are free to use the hash member heap to store any associated data with this object. For example retry timers or anything else.
%args may contain these options:
send_initial_whois => $bool
If this option is enabled an initial WHOIS command is sent to your own NICKNAME to determine your own ident. See also the method nick_ident. This is necessary to ensure that the information about your own nickname is available as early as possible for the send_long_message method.
$bool is false by default.
$cl->connect ($host, $port)
$cl->connect ($host, $port, $info)
This method does the same as the connect method of AnyEvent::Connection, but if the $info parameter is passed it will automatically register with the IRC server upon connect for you, and you won't have to call the register method yourself. If $info only contains the timeout value it will not automatically connect, this way you can pass a custom connect timeout value without having to register.
The keys of the hash reference you can pass in $info are:
 nick - the nickname you want to register as
 user - your username
 real - your realname
 password - the server password
 timeout - the TCP connect timeout
All keys, except nick are optional.
$cl->register ($nick, $user, $real, $server_pass)
Sends the IRC registration commands NICK and USER. If $server_pass is passed also a PASS command is generated.
NOTE: If you passed the nick, user, etc. already to the connect method you won't need to call this method, as AnyEvent::IRC::Client will do that for you.
$cl->set_nick_change_cb ($callback)
This method lets you modify the nickname renaming mechanism when registering the connection. $callback is called with the current nickname as first argument when a ERR_NICKNAMEINUSE or ERR_UNAVAILRESOURCE error occurs on login. The return value of $callback will then be used to change the nickname.
If $callback is not defined the default nick change callback will be used again.
The default callback appends '_' to the end of the nickname supplied in the register routine.
If the callback returns the same nickname that was given it the connection will be terminated.
$cl->nick ()
Returns the current nickname, under which this connection is registered at the IRC server. It might be different from the one that was passed to register as a nick-collision might happened on login.
$cl->is_my_nick ($string)
This returns true if $string is the nick of ourself.
$cl->registered ()
Returns a true value when the connection has been registered successful and you can send commands.
$cl->channel_list ()
$cl->channel_list ($channel)
Without $channel parameter: This returns a hash reference. The keys are the currently joined channels in lower case. The values are hash references which contain the joined nicks as key (NOT in lower case!) and the nick modes as values (as returned from nick_modes ()).
If the $channel parameter is given it returns the hash reference of the channel occupants or undef if the channel does not exist.
$cl->nick_modes ($channel, $nick)
This returns the mode map of the $nick on $channel. Returns undef if the channel isn't joined or the user is not on it. Returns a hash reference with the modes the user has as keys and 1's as values.
$cl->send_msg (...)
See also AnyEvent::IRC::Connection.
$cl->send_srv ($command, _USER_)
This function sends an IRC message that is constructed by mk_msg (undef, $command, _USER_) (see AnyEvent::IRC::Util). If the registered event has NOT yet been emitted the messages are queued until that event is emitted, and then sent to the server.
NOTE: If you stop the registered event (with stop_event, see Object::Event) in a callback registered to the before_registered event, the send_srv queue will NOT be flushed and NOT sent to the server!
This allows you to simply write this:
 my $cl = AnyEvent::IRC::Client->new;
 $cl->connect ('', 6667, { nick => 'testbot' });
 $cl->send_srv (PRIVMSG => 'elmex', 'Hi there!');
Instead of:
 $cl->reg_cb (
 registered => sub {
 $cl->send_msg (PRIVMSG => 'elmex', 'Hi there!');
$cl->clear_srv_queue ()
Clears the server send queue.
$cl->send_chan ($channel, $command, _USER_)
This function sends a message (constructed by mk_msg (undef, $command, _USER_) to the server, like send_srv only that it will queue the messages if it hasn't joined the channel $channel yet. The queued messages will be send once the connection successfully JOINed the $channel.
$channel will be lowercased so that any case that comes from the server matches. (Yes, IRC handles upper and lower case as equal :-(
Be careful with this, there are chances you might not join the channel you wanted to join. You may wanted to join _TAG_ and the server redirects that and sends you that you joined _TAG_. You may use clear_chan_queue to remove the queue after some timeout after joining, so that you don't end up with a memory leak.
$cl->clear_chan_queue ($channel)
Clears the channel queue of the channel $channel.
my (_USER_) = $cl->send_long_message ($encoding, $overhead, $cmd, _USER_, $msg)
As IRC only allows 512 byte blocks of messages and sometimes your messages might get longer, you have a problem. This method will solve your problem:
This method can be used to split up long messages into multiple commands.
$cmd and _USER_ are the IRC command and it's first parameters, except the last one: the $msg. $msg can be a Unicode string, which will be encoded in $encoding before sending.
If you want to send a CTCP message you can encode it in the $cmd by appending the CTCP command with a "\001". For example if you want to send a CTCP ACTION you have to give this $cmd:
 $cl->send_long_message (undef, 0, "PRIVMSG\001ACTION", "_TAG_", "rofls");
$encoding can be undef if you don't need any recoding of $msg. But in case you want to send Unicode it is necessary to determine where to split a message exactly, to not break the encoding.
Please also note that the nick_ident for your own nick is necessary to compute this. To ensure best performance as possible use the send_initial_whois option if you want to use this method.
But note that this method might not work 100% correct and you might still get at least partially chopped off lines if you use send_long_message before the WHOIS reply to send_initial_whois arrived.
To be on the safest side you might want to wait until that initial WHOIS reply arrived.
The return value of this method is the list of the actually sent lines (but without encoding applied).
$cl->enable_ping ($interval, $cb)
This method enables a periodical ping to the server with an interval of $interval seconds. If no PONG was received from the server until the next interval the connection will be terminated or the callback in $cb will be called.
($cb will have the connection object as it's first argument.)
Make sure you call this method after the connection has been established. (eg. in the callback for the registered event).
$cl->lower_case ($str)
Converts the given string to lowercase according to CASEMAPPING setting given by the IRC server. If none was sent, the default - rfc1459 - will be used.
$cl->eq_str ($str1, $str2)
This function compares two strings, whether they are describing the same IRC entity. They are lower cased by the networks case rules and compared then.
$cl->isupport ()
$cl->isupport ($key)
Provides access to the ISUPPORT variables sent by the IRC server. If $key is given this method will return its value only, otherwise a hashref with all values is returned
$cl->split_nick_mode ($prefixed_nick)
This method splits the $prefix_nick (eg. '+elmex') up into the mode of the user and the nickname.
This method returns 2 values: the mode map and the nickname.
The mode map

Conducting clinical Studies in Romania and Bulgaria
Why Romania and Bulgaria?
Population (potential patient pool)
According to Eurostat there are 20,1 million inhabitants in Romania and 7.28 million inhabitants in Bulgaria, Taken together, 5.3% of total EU population, Romania being ranked the 7th largest country within the EU in terms of number of inhabitants
Both Romania and Bulgaria have adopted and fully implemented the EU Clinical Trials Directives. It takes 2 months to obtain regulatory and EC approval in these two countries, the regulatory environment being one of the principal reasons behind the important figures of completed and active studies in both countries in 2015 (figure1).
There is an abundance of high quality investigational sites in Romania and Bulgaria because of the high number of teaching hospitals, university clinics and postgraduate medical schools. There are 17 medical university schools in Romania and 5 medical schools in Bulgaria, while the number of university clinics stands at 39 units in Romania and 15 in Bulgaria, with similar infrastructure and diagnostic capabilities compared to western standards. More practitioners are employed by teaching hospitals and university clinics compared to Western Europe. GCP guidelines are fully implemented, and GCP training of the investigators is compulsorily required by the regulatory authorities. The overall quality of work delivered by investigational sites is very high and comparable to Western Europe and the US.
High recruitment rate:
Recruitment performance is consistently high throughout the region and this is maintained by many factors:
- A large heterogeneous patient population
- A wide availability of naive patients
- Shortage of available therapy
- The insufficient availability of preventive medicine
- Patient willingness to participate in clinical trials sponsored by Western companies
- Availability of multi-specialty medical institutions with highly educated medical personnel. Investigators are motivated to take part in clinical trials and perform well, as they largely acknowledge that co-operating with Western companies in scientific research is a sign of academic distinction, merit, and prestige,
Logistics and communication:
Our synergic operations covering Romania and Bulgaria facilitates your access to highly specialised & fully trained ICH-GCP investigators that have a vast experience in running clinical trials.The site staff (English-speaking investigators in a dense network of healthcare facilities) makes a great deal of efforts to ensure the studies are run according to the protocol and in line with local and international regulations. The guidance provided by CRO's and sponsors is largely accepted and there is a refreshing willingness to learn and improve practice.
Both the monitoring and investigator fees of a clinical trial in Romania and Bulgaria are significantly lower than those in Western Europe (Figure 2).
The monitoring costs are probably 50 – 70 % higher in Western Europe, while the investigator & hospital fees levels have remained relatively lower compared to Western demands. Moreover, additional accountable costs, such as travel, accommodation and postage are also considerably lower.

The Tiger Who Came To Tea Memory Card Game
The classic game of pairs with a twist.
To start shuffle the cards and place face down on a large surface. The youngest player goes first and turns over two cards and shows the other players what's on them. If it's a matching pair they keep them, if not the cards are turned back over in their original place. Play continues to the next person on the player's left. The key to success is remembering where the different cards are so you can select a matching pair when it's your turn. Here's the twist - if a player picks up a card with Dad walking in the door shouting 'I'm Home', the player shouts 'I'm Home' and all the cards have to be shuffled around so no-one knows where each of the cards are.
The Tiger Who Came to Tea Memory Card Game features 54 jumbo cards beautifully illustrated with scenes from Judith Kerr's classic children's storybook.
Not Suitable for children under 3 years.

It is professional practice for an employer to send an appointment letter to any rightful appointee. An appointment letter confirmation should be given in any case where a certain person or employee is appointed for a specific position. However, to eliminate errors and write more accurate appointment letters, employers should consider writing a draft or a preliminary version of it.
Sample draft appointment letters are acknowledged as a letter outline before a person is scheduled for a meeting appointment. Drafts serve a similar purpose to that of a blueprint that structure letter content before finalizing an appointment through a letter.
A draft appointment letter may not be considered as the final document yet but it is still essential for one to come up with an efficient appointment letter. Sample appointment letters reflect a good structure because of well prepared draft appointment letters.
Here are steps on how to prepare a draft appointment letter:
Drafts are good preparation tools that should not be missed in appointment letter writing. Observance of the steps above ensure that generated appointment letters are of quality.
Abrupt decisions, most especially when writing appointment letters, often lead to inaccuracy of correspondence. Using draft appointment letters allow one to commit errors since such letters are not yet finalized for sending. All appointment letter examples are products of draft appointment letters utilized throughout the entire letter preparation process.
Draft appointment letters are also flexible and dependent upon circumstances. It could still be subject to change whenever recommended. Hence, if teacher appointment letters, for example, are to be issued for specific employees and the need to change may arise, draft appointment letters are easy to change.
The many uses that could spring out from draft appointment letters could be summed up in 2 important points as reflected below:

This list was the first seriously researched peakbagging list ever created, by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891. Prior to this time, detailed topographic maps for large areas were not available, so it is not surprising that the first list was made in a nation where the Ordnance Survey was ahead of the pack in creating high-quality maps.
A "Munro" is a peak in Scotland over 3000 feet high. The list has been revised many times over the years by the Scottish Mountaineering Club, and the latest revision in 1997 has 284 summits. There is a separate list of 227 "Munro Tops" with less prominence than the Munros, but there is no consistent criteria for determining if a peak is a "Top" or a full Munro.
There is no serious list of peaks in the British Isles that does not own a huge debt to Alan Dawson's The Relative Hills of Britian, the ultimate reference for the subject. The Range classification above is based on his chapter headings, with some modifications. Dawson also pioneered the use of prominence numbers to help classify peaks.

The nature of urban economic design in Kumasi, Ghana, is often reflective of neoliberal economic policies prescribed by Bretton Woods institutions during the economic reforms of the 1980s. The economic structure, which is characterized by uncertainties of formal jobs, has triggered people's ingenuity to engage in novel occupations. One economic activity that has gained popularity in Kumasi is vending of roasted traditional food (RTF) by women. This chapter explores how women have used vending of RTF to overcome years of acute austerity in the "paid" job market. It concentrates on the economic, spatial, and social networks that sustain this informal activity. Drawing on multiple data sources, the results confirm how the structure of the city space has consigned RTF vendors to obscurity, yet their activities are responding to the economic realities of time—increasing urbanization, limited job opportunities, and accumulation of poverty. As a survival strategy, the vendors have developed social connections with clients and made their place comfortable in order to claim their rightful place in the urban space economy. We conclude that given their contributions, the vendors must be appreciated as agents of change and part of the urban system.

Mounted animals: Badger - Bisam - Marmot - Fox
Fur - Leather with hair
Leather can be produced both with and without hair depending on customers' wishes. A hide can have hair or not, whereas a fur always has hair. A fur is leather with very fine hair.
Fur - Fur skin
Fur is the skin of an animal which has a particularly dense and fine hair (more than 400 hairs per square centimetre). For example, mink fur, beaver fur, fox fur, sable fur and chinchilla fur etc. Other leather with hair on top is called "skin".
In 2009 85% of all furs came from breeding animals, most commonly foxes, minks, marten dogs, nutrias and chinchillas.
In 2013 the turnover in the global fur trade was approx. 15 billion US $. Around one million people are employed in this sector worldwide. The main production countries are Greece, Russia, China and Denmark. In Germany, the turnover of the fur industry in 2012 was around 1.28 billion euros and there were 23 mink farms. There are about 7,200 fur farms in the EU, mainly in Denmark, the Netherlands, Poland and Finland. About 35 million mink furs and two million fox furs are produced annually in European farms.
Animal species for fur and skins with hair
There are many animal species and their subspecies, from which furs or skins are made. There are unprotected animals and protected animals. The following list contains a lot of animals used to produce fur and skins with hair, but it's not complete.

Animal groups Animal species
Poultry animals Opossum, Wallaby, Kangaroo
Hare species Snow rabbit, wild rabbit, domestic rabbit (Chinchilla and many more breeding varieties)
Primates She-monkey
Cloven hoofed animals Guanako (young animal), vicuna, goats (young animal), domestic goat, domestic sheep (Persian, Merinos and many other species, often lambs), springbok, calves (from cattle), reindeer
Unpaired hoofed animals Foal (horse), zebra
Insectivorous Mole, silver bisam
Rodents Ground squirrel, bamboo rat, marmot, squirrel, beaver, hamster, bisam, nutria, chinchilla, viscacha
Marten Ermine, weasel, mink, polecat, marten, sable, badger, skunk, otter, wolverine
Bears Black bear, polar bear, brown bear
Small bears Catfry, raccoon
Dogs Wolf, coyote, jackal, fox (red fox, silver fox, pole fox and many more), marten dog

Leather is mostly produced from animals that are kept for meat production. This is not the case with fur animals. The meat of goats and rabbits is mostly used for human consumption, but the meat of most of the fur animals is not eaten. In some countries, it is even forbidden to eat some of these animals.
A furrier is a craftsman who processes fur into clothing. This includes repairs and cleaning and care of furs.
Fur coat 01.jpg Fur clothing 02.jpg
For the older generation, furs were a sign of prosperity and provided warmth in the winter.
The cleaning of furs
In case of soiling, skins or furs can be carefully brushed. Always ask advice from a furrier who is experienced in the cleaning of skins and furs. Specialists use moistened wood chips in a special cleaning process for furs and sensitive skins. Insensitive furs and skins can also be washed with special leather detergents. In particular, old skins and furs can be extremely sensitive to wet cleaning and can irreversibly harden and shrink.
Animal protection and labelling
The trade of skins and furs of certain species of animals, particularly those threatened with extinction, has been restricted or prohibited on the basis of species protection worldwide. Many animal protectionists reject any trade in fur.
There is no uniform regulation on the labelling of furs. Single EU countries have stricter rules. Since 2008, the Origin Assured (TM) label indicates that fur products come from a country where approved regulations and standards apply to fur production.
From 01.01.2019 the city of San Francisco in the USA prohibits the sale of furs. The ban applies to clothing including gloves and accessories. This ban affects about 50 stores and approximately $ 40 million in sales.
The opponents of furs often drastically draw attention to their concerns.

Skin on which the hair is still present, is referred to as fur or skin. Typical terms for skins are lion's skin, sheepskin, cowhide, bearskin etc.
According to a study from 2014, children who have slept on animal fur or hides during the first three months of life have a 79% reduced risk of developing asthma later.

Hello everyone,
I would like to know whether, assuming Selberg's orthonormality conjecture, it would be possible to establish a "natural" correspondence between abelian varieties and functions belonging to the Selberg class S in such a way: 1) One associates to a simple abelian variety a primitive function of S, 2) One associates to an abelian variety of dimension d a function of S of degree d, 3) If V is an abelian variety isogenous to a product of abelian varieties of lower dimensions V_1, V_2,... V_n, then the function F of S related to V is the product of the F_i where F_i is the function of S related to V_i.
Thank you in advance.

This is an interesting question, though I know little about Selberg's class S. One comment though: when you say "natural correspondence between", it makes it sound like you mean a bijection. (That seems unlikely in this case, because there are uncountably many functions in Selberg's class and only countably many abelian varieties over number fields.) But anyway reading more carefully it looks like you are not suggesting a correspondence, but rather a mapping (functor?) from abelian varieties into Selberg's class. – Pete L. Clark Dec 13 '10 at 19:55
Indeed the word "correspondence" may not fit exactly what I have on my mind, but my English is far from being perfect (I'm French). I didn't know that there were uncountably many functions in S, would you have some reference? By the way, still assuming Selberg's orthonormality conjecture, do both abelian varieties and Selberg's class form semi-simple categories? If so, the concept of functor from abelian varieties into Selberg's class, as you suggested, may be the good way to express my idea. – Sylvain JULIEN Dec 13 '10 at 22:49
I think you need to assume the Hasse-Weil conjecture (an L-function of every abelian variety over ${\mathbb Q}$ is entire with the expected functional equation), so get this map; if I am not mistaken, this does not obviously follow just from Selberg orthonormality. Also, as Pete remarks, the image is not the whole Selberg class. I do not know about uncountability, but e.g. you won't get non self-dual $L$-functions, like those of Dirichlet characters of order $\gt 2$. And, even restricting to the self-dual ones, $L$-functions of all etale cohomology groups of all algebraic varieties... – Tim Dokchitser Dec 20 '10 at 1:22
...are supposed to be in the Selberg class. I am not an expert, but I thought there are motives (e.g. cohomology groups of some Calabi-Yaus?) that are not realizable inside abelian varieties because the weights are wrong. But otherwise that that, I think it is expected that there is a map like this. – Tim Dokchitser Dec 20 '10 at 1:23
Sorry, I know almost nothing about the Selberg Class and was using the wikipedia article on the subject as a reference. But worse than that, I wasn't reading it carefully. My thought was as simple as the following: if you scale an element of the Selberg class by a nonzero real number you get another element of the Selberg class. But actually this is not true: the Dirichlet series needs to be "normalized": $a_1 = 1$. So I retract my comment about uncountability! – Pete L. Clark Dec 20 '10 at 2:10
1 Answer 1
(Assuming the abelian varieties are supposed to be defined over $\mathbf{Q}$). For every dimension $d\geq 1$, select a cuspidal automorphic representation $f_d$ of $GL(d)$ over the rationals. Then map any simple $A$ of dimension $d$ to $L(f_d,s)$, and extend by multiplicativity using the simple factors of a general $A$ up to isogeny.
(Of course this question is utterly artificial; it seems reasonable to think that the only natural $L$-function associated to an abelian variety is its Hasse-Weil $L$-function, which has degree $2\dim(A)$.)

Nour: Play With Your Food's sous chef: an interactive soundtrack
Reading Time: 6 minutes
No two dishes made in Nour: Play With Your Food are alike. A delicious interactive exploration into the aesthetics of food and drink, Nour lets you play with your food in ways your mother told you not to. This beautiful, chaotic yet comforting game demanded a soundtrack that reflects each player's unique preparations and plating. What started as a soundtrack ended up as an instrument.
Play sweet melodies and manipulate the environment via random acts of cookery, rhythmic prowess, or even your singing voice. Beginner or expert, reckless or meticulous, every chef creates a song to match their pièce de résistance.
I'm Maximilian C Mueller, a musician and designer – and today, your maître d'Nour's music. James Morrison (aka Fluke Nukes) and I cooked up a feast for the ears to accompany this feast for the eyes.
Ambience: Season to Taste
Adaptive background music to complement your dish.
The music heats up, cools down, rises, mixes, and melts. What you hear is a unique combination of ingredients cooked per ever-changing specifications set by the way you play; no two play-throughs will sound the same. Wreak havoc, show restraint, and so too will the audio.
Adaptive game music is often categorized as "horizontal" (e.g. the music changes when entering a room), or "vertical" (e.g., tempo increases or an instrumental element is added when entering combat). Nour's music is diagonal and has a cherry on top. Player actions and their frequency comprise a measure of chaos used to generate a cohesive song from a large pantry of ingredients. Together with a dash of stochasticity and a pinch of salt, this fluctuating measure acts as a conductor, guiding the scene sound. Put simply, the dish you create creates the song.
Have a listen to some evolving music captured in-game while you read:
Marshmallow Flutes and Noodle Harps
Conjure food and make a melody, create a dish and make a song.
Each time a food is introduced into the scene, a sound comes with it. What does a marshmallow sound like? An airy flute! An ice cube? The high notes of a grand piano played staccato of course! It was great fun choosing these sounds and even more fun subjecting those sounds to the trials of gameplay. Don't worry about playing sour notes; every button press is always in tune. Once in the scene, the foods act as percussion instruments, singing the sound that announced them on impact. I love setting up a pile of ice cubes and slamming something into them to create an icy physics music explosion.
Perhaps the best example of physical instrumentation in Nour is the noodle harp. Make some noodles, arrange them to form an elegant slope (or monster) using the magnet, and freeze them. While there are many ways you could choose to play the harp, one of my favorites is simply letting a gyoza tumble down the sculpture to create a descending melody.
Making a beat in Toaster using a combination of "broken" and working toasters.
Each scene in Nour has some unique gameplay mechanics and musical mechanics to match. In Toaster, make toast and conduct an orchestra at the same time. Bread takes to the air upon a swell of violins, bassoons, and timpani. Burn your toast to the degree that the toaster breaks…and what was once a bassoon is a BASS. Appliance destruction triggers a change of temperament in your musicians, turning the smoldering toasters into 808's, snares, hats, and kicks. Create a fiery beat – but be sure to leave one or two toasters unbroken for a nice orchestral accompaniment.
Fire dances to the beat when night falls in Toaster.
In Meat Grinder, each food is spawned into a calm but foreboding environment. Things really take a turn when the player rotates the handle to grind a food – not only is the food ground, but its sound is extruded too. There may or may not be heavy-metal involved.
Players can look forward to both macro and micro manipulation of game audio via changes they make to the environment. This relationship is reciprocal: they'll also have the power to change the environment through music.
A jazz cover of the Miso Soup music hidden in an easter egg – happy hunting!
Sonic Controller: Audio-as-Interface
Use music to manipulate food.
Music in Nour acts not just as a soundtrack, but an interface. Players can exert influence over the scene and its contents in both familiar and new modes of musical gameplay.
The mechanics aim to encourage and reward the exploration and experimentation central to Nour. Fittingly, its rhythm system has no grid. User input is instead processed relatively, allowing the game to recognize and reward melodies ranging from rigid to adventurous.
Rhythmic play generates a resource that can be used to activate special powers: freeze foods to create a sculpture (or plate), turn day into night, or compel your food to dance to the music.
Combining these effects creates a dizzying number of musical (and physical) possibilities. Lock some dancing sugar cubes in a cage of frozen oranges to create a dynamic physical instrument – the sugar pulses to the music, knocking into itself and the walls confining it. Then activate night mode to really get things bopping! I'm so excited to see what players come up with and hear the sounds they're able to coax out of the scenes.
Secret rhythmic sequences (combos) offer another way to control the game – I'll give away one to get you started: try slowing down time by playing 4 quarter notes, 2 halves, and a whole. And for balance, an anti-sequence: button mash as fast as your can to activate Warp Mode!
We hope such rhythmic mechanics will be fun, familiar, and legible to those who have stomped, shredded, or ocarina-ed their way through a virtual space. The DualSense controller,
Sequence effects are triggered by specific note sequences. This sequence, (4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2, 1), prompts a key change and slows down both the music and gameplay.
however, furnished an opportunity for something new. Not only can you play with your food, you can yell, sing, blow, and slurp at it. Sing the root note of the song to levitate objects upon a field of golden energy for as long as you can hold it. Blast away objects with a gust of wind blown into the microphone. Yell to charge up a food and plate it with force! After all that you'll likely need to take a sip of refreshing soda – just produce a rising pitch with your voice, a cello, or…?
Left: Using voice to levitate citrus in Soft Drinks // Right: Blowing a gust of wind in Diner
Panic's previous title, Untitled Goose Game, was praised for its reactive score, so from the start we knew Nour would have to push the audio envelope. This is our first time working on a game, so we didn't really know what was possible in the key of C# – it turns out a lot is! It's been a wild ride up a steep learning curve – a big thanks to our very talented, supportive, and patient team for sticking with us while we skilled up.
We're all so excited for you to experience Nour: Play With Your Food this summer.

This paper presents a case study on distance teaching in a school in Greenland. Data from work on Grounded Theory is used to investigate ways of utilizing distance teaching in the school. The analysis draws on a prevalent perspective on distance teaching as providing access to education. The perspective combines with Michel Foucault's concept of "governmentality".
I will show how progressive possibilities are not necessarily to be found in ICT-driven distance teaching. Pedagogical drivers operate behind the choices of ICT equipment and ICT solutions which, in this case, brings ICT under the command of a less progressive pedagogical agenda.
As I will show, the commitment from the municipality and from the teachers was to use distance teaching and ICT for conventional schooling. The case lays the ground for a discussion on the progressivity of distance teaching and the use of advanced ICT solutions in schools. My aim with the paper is to add to the understanding of the scope of distance teaching in schools. Does ICT and distance teaching serve progressive ends per se? What do we learn about distance teaching from this setup in the school in Greenland?

How to warm up your singing voice
9 Best Vocal Warm-Ups for Singers
Professional singers know how physically demanding singing can be. It takes a lot of stamina and energy to sing onstage and bring the venue to life. That's why singing, like any other physical activity, should involve a warm-up, as well as a vocal cool-down. At School of Rock, we make these vocal warm-ups a ritual, whether it's to prepare for a singing lesson or a show rehearsal. These quick singing warm-ups can be done in just 10 to 20 minutes, and they should become an integral part of any successful practice routine.
Why do you need to warm up your voice?
We warm up our voices so we can keep them healthy, sound our best and protect against damage. Warming up your voice will allow you to sing better and extend your range comfortably. It is absolutely necessary to always warm up before singing.
9 best vocal warm-ups for singers
There are many simple vocal exercises you can use to warm up your voice, so you have a lot of options when it comes to deciding how to warm up your voice. Fortunately, School of Rock can help you narrow them down. Here are nine of the best vocal warm-ups used by our vocal instructors.
9 best vocal warm ups from School of Rock
1. Yawn-sigh Technique
For this quick vocal exercise, simply yawn (take in air) with your mouth closed. Then, exhale through your nose as if you are sighing. This will help relax your voice and improve its range.
2. Humming warm-upS
Humming is one of the best vocal warm-ups because it doesn't put a lot of strain on your vocal cords. Place the tip of your tongue behind your bottom front teeth and hum up and down the major scale while keeping your mouth closed. Each note should sound like "hmmm" — including the "h" sound is less taxing on your voice.
3. Vocal Straw Exercise
To perform the vocal straw exercise (also known as straw phonation), take a straw and hum through it. Start at the bottom of your range and slide up to the top slowly and evenly. Then, hum your favorite song through the straw. You can also place the straw in a partially full glass of liquid and blow controlled bubbles in the glass.
4. Lip buzz Vocal warm-up
As far as vocal warm-ups go, lip buzz (or lip trill, as it is sometimes called) is very simple. The goal is to make a motorboat sound by making your lips vibrate as you blow air through your mouth and nose. You can incorporate pitch slides as well.
5. Tongue trill exercise
The tongue trill vocal exercise is difficult for some singers. It involves curling your tongue and rolling your R's as you go through your range from low to high.
6. Jaw Loosening ExerciseS
When singing, you want to drop your jaw lower than when you are just talking. With your finger, trace back along your jawline from your chin to your ear. That curved space between your jaw and your ear is where you want to drop your jaw.
Pretend you are yawning with your mouth closed and feel where your jaw drops. Avoid just dropping your chin.
7. Two-octave pitch glide Warm-Up
For this easy vocal warm-up, make an "eeee" or "ohhhh" sound and gradually glide through the chromatic notes of a two-octave range. Glide up and then back down. This will transition from your chest voice to your head voice.
8. Vocal Sirens Exercise
Much like the pitch glide, the siren exercise takes an "oooo" sound and gradually goes from the lowest note of your range to the highest and back down, like a siren for an emergency vehicle. The sound is continuous and covers the tones between the notes.
9. Vocal Slides Technique
This technique is also known as a portamento, which is Italian for "the act of carrying." Much like the siren exercise, you slide from one note to the next in your range, but you don't sing the in-between notes.
Now that you've mastered a few vocal warm-ups and exercises, always remember to maintain good posture and use proper breathing techniques. Two common breathing techniques are singing from your diaphragm and exhaling on a hiss. Keep reading to learn how you can perform these to improve your singing.
1. Sing from Your Diaphragm
When singing, it is vitally important to use proper breathing techniques to avoid hurting your voice. It is most common to breathe from the chest during everyday activities, including speaking, but singing requires breathing from the diaphragm. Proper breathing gives your voice more power, more control and a fuller, more expressive tone. Sing from your diaphragm to avoid straining your voice. Your body should be relaxed and balanced, with your weight slightly forward.
What is your diaphragm?
The diaphragm is a muscle between your chest and your belly that governs how much air you inhale and exhale when you breathe. "Singing from your diaphragm" is a phrase for this important breathing technique, which describes the proper way to breathe in and out while singing.
How to sing with your diaphragm
The sound of your voice doesn't actually come from your diaphragm, of course — sound is generated by vibrations of your vocal cords. The vibrations are caused by air being pushed out of your lungs. Your diaphragm is what controls the pushing and is responsible for putting power behind your voice.
2. Exhale on a hiss
A hissing breath exercise is a great way to start when learning how to warm up your voice before singing. This technique forces vocalists to sing from their diaphragms and improves breath control.
To master the exhale on a hiss breathing technique, it's important to:
 1. Stand up straight and relax your body. This will also relax your diaphragm and release any tension that could prevent you from singing incorrectly.
 2. Breathe in through your mouth and count to five. As you breathe, bring the air deep into your lungs. A "singer's breath" should not make your chest puff out or your shoulders rise — instead, your belly should expand outward.
 3. Exhale and count to nine. While exhaling, make a hissing noise that sounds like the first letter of the word "sizzle." By the time you are done counting, all the air should be expelled from your lungs.
Once you build more lung capacity and get comfortable with this exercise, you can breathe in for a seven count and exhale for a 12 count.
Now that you've warmed up your voice and know how to breathe from your diaphragm and exhale on a hiss, you're ready to sing.
How to cool down your voice after singing
After vocal warm-ups and singing, it is essential that you also cool down your voice. You can use the same vocal exercises you used during your warm-up, starting with the most intense and working down to the least intense. Simply using the humming vocal exercise will also allow your voice to cool down and relax. Following these tips will keep your voice strong and allow you to perform at your best.
Vocal warm-ups are a critical part of any singer's practice and performance routine. These quick and easy vocal warm-ups will refine your technique, build your vocal power and control, and help expand your vocal range.
At School of Rock, our trained vocal instructors teach students all aspects of singing, including warm-ups and other vocal techniques that thousands of professional singers use every day to keep their voices in shape and sounding their best.

Remodeling and preserving elements
 In Artículos de interés
From existing to new
When we think of remodeling a space, we often think of completely changing the nature of space.
However, this is not always needed to create a different and totally new ambiance.
We can preserve elements that could be useful to create a contrasting effect in our space.
To do so, we can start by asking ourselves if there are some existing elements that we like. It could be a structural element like a wall, or finish material like a floor or tile, or a carpentry element, and start thinking to conserve it.
Sometimes, even if we don't appreciate an element or finish, we could think of emphasizing its nature in contrast with other materials or other elements of the same space.
You can discover an interesting element even by removing the final finish of your walls, floors, etc. To do so, it is necessary to make a survey of finishes and structural elements.
There are many options; it is just about identifying an element that could give a special touch to your new space.
In this way, you will find elements that in their current state may seem obsolete, but that in contrast to modern finishes can give a very special character to your new space.
Renovation and preservation are not necessarily opposed, they complement each other!

Question: What Time Are Most Big Bucks Killed?
Is it better to hunt in the morning or evening?
Hunting the gray light of dawn and dusk is often your best shot at success.
Watch the wind to ensure you don't blow your cover, and stay as silent as possible the nearer you get to your hunting site.
Whether it's by choice or circumstance, hunts during mornings or evenings often yield the best results..
Do deer travel the same path every day?
What time of day are the biggest bucks killed?
Most hunters are headed for lunch and something cold to drink well before noon, especially during the hot part of the day. This is exactly when many of the heavyweight brawlers will ease off the bed for a quick drink. Many mature bucks have learned that the midday hours are safe.
What time of day do big bucks move?
Deer Move Most at Dawn and Dusk––End of Story Like taxes and death, you can count on two things when talking about mature bucks: they move most at dawn and dusk, and during the rut. Deer are crepuscular. It's built into their DNA.
Are more deer killed in the morning or afternoon?
The bottom line is morning and afternoon hunts can both be very productive. Extra caution and care must go into your approach in the mornings. You simply can't see what's around you. For this reason, you will spook more deer.
What time of day are deer most active?
dawnTime of Day: For whitetail deer the most active times typically occur around dawn and dusk, with periodic increases in activity overnight. Plan ahead and get out there during the right time of day to increase your chances of success.

Familiarity plays an important role in face processing. The importance of familiarity is increased when facial form cues are degraded, so that a person must rely primarily on movement (dynamic) information to identify someone. It is, however, unclear which dynamic cues are used for face recognition of both familiar and unfamiliar faces. Furthermore, little work has been done on dynamic self-face recognition, and none has focused on the type of movement that facilitates this process. The current study used motion capture cameras to record and isolate facial movements in order to test recognition of self, familiar and unfamiliar faces. Participants completed a 2AFC same/different face-matching task involving point-light displays of natural motion (i.e. both rigid and non-rigid motion), rigid motion only (e.g. nodding/shaking), non-rigid motion only (e.g. mouth/eyebrow motion) and still images to determine whether differences in familiarity resulted in the use of different movement cues. The manner (style) in which someone is speaking may also impact on whether they can be easily identified from dynamic cues. Consequently, speech style was either matched or mismatched between video clips. We found that matching performance was more accurate overall when speech style was matched than mismatched. Familiar face matching appears to use rigid, non-rigid and natural movement cues equally, but unfamiliar and self-face matching are more accurate for rigid than natural motion when speech style differs between clips. These results are discussed in relation to previous research on dynamic face recognition, and possible implications for current face processing models.

Old Canadian Cemeteries: Places of Memory by Jane Irwin, photographed by John de Visser
In her Acknowledgments section, Ms. Irwin notes two reasons why cemeteries are fascinating.
"Cemeteries are set apart from the mundane pressures of our everyday lives, they have an inherent power to provide a brief respite from temporary concerns and a chance to see our own life in a longer perspective."
Her second observation warns that, "Searching out favorite themes…may develop into a kind of addiction," comes too late for this writer, as finding new carvings has turned into a serious hobby, not unlike bird watching.
Luckily, Old Canadian Cemeteries indulges both of these cravings.
Beginning with the chapter, Changing Burial Traditions, one travels from the 7,500 years-old burial cairn in L'Anse Amour in Southern Labrador to the ghost town graveyards in Ancestral Ties to the six Lawson grandchildren at the Old Burying Ground, Halifax to multicultural Ross Bay Cemetery in Exploring Canada's Historic Cemeteries. Eventually, the reader brushes up on Canadian history in National Memory.
Irwin also writes on stone inscriptions, the highlight being the Puzzle Stone in Ontario's Methodist Rushes Cemetery, created in 1865 by Samuel Bean for wives Henrietta and Susanna. It's meant to be read in a circulating, outward pattern.
Ultimately, the best chapter is Old Canadian Cemeteries, A Visual Tour. Here, the photos speak for themselves through various shades of light and weather. They are best reflected in a shot of the Holy Sepulchre cemetery in Ontario, where rows of white, cowled figures silently stand guard over their assigned memorial stones.


Fishermen, farmers, and fiestas continuity in ritual of traditional villages on the northwest coast of Peru /
by Schaeffer, Nancy Ellen.
Abstract (Summary)
This dissertation is an attempt to explain aspects of sacred ceremonial expression of the Peruvian northwest coastal farmers and fishermen in the Moche Valley. The study is informed primarily by sacerdotes andinos (healer-priests), ancianos (elders), and native fishermen and farmers. Specifically, sacerdotes andinos are the teachers of ritualistic dances and myths. Lessons learned from the sacerdotes are not only an intellectual exercise; they are "lived." The myths of fishermen and farmers are initiated and experienced with the sounds of the sacerdote "ancestor" conch trumpet, the maraca (seed) rattle and song-chants in ceremony, but not by everyday language. The initiation ritual of the Diablada dancers takes place on top of the huaca (sacred place) of the Chimú ancestor in Chan Chan from vi midnight to dawn. Then, with the siete ñustas de wiracocha (essence of seven mystical plants) combined with the sounds of the ocean waves breaking on the shore and the constant rattle and chanting of the sacerdote, one travels and learns. These historical-mythological adventure-traditions are repeated frequently, remembered and passed on from one generation to the next through sound. The dances of the Diablada, the Ingas and Ñustas, and the processional journey to the Moche River tell stories about the community, the land, relationships and the culture of the people. For each village, there is a distinct structure and style of expression. Traditional farming and fishing techniques, village relations, ceremonies, rituals, dances, music, and myth continue to exist and orient the people. vii

Algebraic Cryptography Center
Department Director Alexei Miasnikov founded the Algebraic Cryptography Center (ACC) to investigate new techniques from computational algebra and their applications to practical problems in cryptography and cryptanalysis.
The ACC facilitates interdisciplinary research on foundational problems of cryptography and cybersecurity in collaboration with associate members at other institutions throughout the world. The center investigates unique applications of mathematical algorithms that may be used to facilitate security in quantum computing systems – an integral blending of both computer science and mathematics in pursuit of a greater goal. According to ACC director Robert Gilman, "If a technology such as a quantum computer suddenly gains the power to solve hard problems much more quickly, many of the crypto-systems that have become a vital part of global infrastructure will become insecure...we have to be able to ask, 'To what extent can we prove a crypto-system is secure?' And we need to be able to find an answer."
"Everything in the field of quantum computing and cryptographic mathematics is wide open," says Dr. Miasnikov. "There remain fundamental mathematical questions that affect the very nature of current and future cryptographic methods. These not only present challenging and exciting opportunities for researchers such as myself, but offer an exceptional chance for students to participate in this groundbreaking field."
The main research themes of the ACC are:
- Cryptanalysis of public key cryptosystems based on algebraic problems.
- Theoretical development of generic complexity.
- Application of generic complexity to the problem of testing the security of cryptosystems.
The Center sponsors a number of seminars, lectures, and visitors. It is currently located in Room 380 in the Kidde Building. The Algebra & Cryptography Seminar, jointly sponsored with the CUNY Graduate Center, meets on Fridays.

CHAPLAINCY IN EDUCATION
Chaplaincy in an education setting can take many shapes, it is essential is that it meets the needs of the institution and responds to the local setting.
There are a variety of models within the Diocese of Exeter; however, there are some fundamental principles which need to be considered.
- Support from senior management
- Support from local church communities, ecumenical where possible
- Support from the Diocese, licensing of chaplains, providing training, etc.
- Adequate resources – these need not be financial
- A base – this can be virtual
- Chaplaincy is not a vehicle for proselytising
Chaplaincy can offer:
- Additional and specific spiritual and pastoral support of students
- Support for staff
- Additional support/ resource to the curriculum
- Critical incident support
- Community links
- Can be seen as working beyond the "gates"
- Additional activities
- Chaplains can often go where other "fear to tread"
Remember that Chaplaincy is to the whole community.
Chaplaincy can best be described as the Walk to Emmaus, Chaplains walk alongside all participants of an institution, they listen to their story, support their issues, if appropriate share their own story and signpost to others for further guidance and support if necessary.
Chaplaincy in Education is transformative and:
- offers spiritual and pastoral care to everyone and shares the life of the community;
- is distinctively Christian and utterly inclusive and works with people of all faiths and cultures;
- is 'the public face of God' for the community;
- 'is there to listen and care, to pray for and bless the school/college/university.'
Chaplains can be lay or ordained and from any Christian church. With the support of local churches and the diocese, almost anyone can be called and trained to be a chaplain.
Chaplains have the opportunity to be part of wider regional and national support networks and training opportunities – details these can be found in our newsletters

CDM Help Desk Launched to Improve Regional Distribution of CDM Projects
4 September 2012: The UNFCCC Secretariat has launched the second Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Help Desk to answer questions of stakeholders relating to CDM projects undergoing the validation or verification process.
The objective of the CDM Help Desk is to help improve the regional distribution of CDM projects. It aims to help under-represented countries increase their participation in the CDM and thus realize the benefits of the CDM.
The Help Desk is therefore only available to project stakeholders in such under-represented countries, specifically stakeholders in Africa, the least developed countries (LDCs), small island developing States (SIDS) and countries that had ten or fewer registered CDM projects as of 31 December 2010. It provides stakeholders such as CDM project participants, developers, coordinating and/or managing entities, designated national authorities (DNAs) and designated operational entities (DOEs), with reliable and timely information on issues regarding their CDM projects.

Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals, Vol.492, 283-292, 2008
Effect of Complex Ion Beam/Plasma Treatment of the Surface Functionalization and Crystal Phase Transition of Piezoelectric Poly(vinylidene fluoride)
We scrutinized the effect of complex ion beam and plasma treatment on the surface functionalization and crystal phase change of poly(vinylidene fluoride) films. The stretched and poled PVDF films were used for this investigation. Ion-beam and plasma treatment were employed for the surface modification of PVDF. The surface treatments induced some changes of chemical composition as well as changed the morphology of PVDF surface. It had a large influence on the interfacial adhesion with thermally deposited metal electrodes on the PVDF. Surface modifications such as ion beam irradiation and plasma treatment played a pivotal role in the determination of interfacial strength between PVDF and electrodes as well as the change of crystal structure in electromechanical PVDF film. While the amount of beta-phase crystal in PVDF decreased with treatment time, the interfacial adhesion increased with the modification time. In this research, we were able to find optimum treatment conditions for enhancing the adhesion and retaining piezoelectric structure.

Edit Article
If you've had outstanding debts, overdrafts or other banking problems in the past that lead to you losing your checking account, it may be difficult to open a new one. However, gaining an understanding of your situation and realizing that there are checking accounts designed for people in your situation can help put you back in control. If you find yourself in this position, you may want to see whether you can get a second chance checking account.
 1. 1
 Determine the reason banks are denying you a checking account. You can check with the denying institution to find out whether it based its decision on information from ChexSystems, which reports mishandled accounts and outstanding debts to its member institutions, or TeleChecks, which reports fraud and bad checks. If it used ChexSystems, you can order a copy of your report from that company to better understand -- and in some cases appeal -- the institution's decision. You can talk to a TeleChecks representative to better understand a denial based on that company's information.
 2. 2
 Realize that you are permanently denied a regular checking account if you have bad credit information stored in either ChexSystems' or TeleChecks' database. Many banks forgive former bad credit if you pay the debt and don't have problems for 2 years. If the information in ChexSystems or TeleChecks is fraud-related, you generally have to wait a minimum of 5 years to receive a regular checking account.
 3. 3
 Explore the websites of banks and credit unions that you are already familiar with to find out if they offer second chance checking accounts that you can obtain. Many major financial institutions offer these accounts to potential customers with bad credit or with other banking problems, often with minimal fees, if any. Read the institution's checking FAQ's and use the search term "second chance" to locate personal checking accounts that may be right for you. Call customer service if you're unable to find the information on the website.
 4. 4
 Examine other options if you are unable to find a financial institution that you already trust offering second chance checking accounts. When you find institutions that you're unfamiliar with offering this type of account, review all the information carefully. Before opening the account, make sure you know the name and reputation of the bank. Also, review the application for any hidden fees, as unscrupulous companies make money from taking advantage of individuals having a difficult time getting checking accounts.
 5. 5
 Apply to get a second chance checking account, completing the application with absolute accuracy, since misrepresenting yourself on the application will likely lead to a denial.

 - Financial institutions that do not use ChexSystems or TeleChecks may not have a record of your former banking problems, and so are easier to obtain checking accounts from. Online, you can find directories of financial institutions that do not use these systems.
 - If banks continue to reject you for a regular checking account and you aren't sure why, always ask the financial institution for details. Sometimes, banks mistakenly deny individuals.
 - Make sure you have the minimum opening deposit when you apply for the checking account.
 - Some websites that appear to offer a second chance checking account are actually just selling you the name of a bank at which you can apply to get a second chance checking account. Know exactly what you're paying for before you submit a payment.

Generate an id for imported data (Excel)
Post by leven.steve »
I was hoping that importing data would auto-generate/increment the ID column but it doesn't (unless I'm mistaken?)
So I wrote this function in Excel VBA to generate a random string for the "id".
Usage: (in Excel column)
Function MakeApperyID(length As Integer) As String
' create a id string of "length" chars using 0-9 and a-f only
' in keeping with Appery DB _id format you could call this
' with length 4 to create a starting 4 char sequence in a fixed cell location
' and then add that to a length 20 call to create the remainder of the ID
Code: Select all
 Dim Result
 Dim i, j, k
 Dim ch
 Randomize (Now)
 Result = ""
 For i = 1 To length
 k = CInt(Rnd()) 'zero or one to decide on letter or number
 If k = 0 Then
 j = CInt(Rnd() * 5)
 ch = Chr(j + 97)
 j = CInt(Rnd() * 9)
 ch = Chr(j + 48)
 End If
 Result = Result + ch
 MakeApperyID = Result
End Function
Feel free to use, amend and feedback any useful changes.

Hello, uses mongoDB, which has another way to generate IDs, so it doesn't increment the ID in the database.

The sharing economy is boosting economic empowerment for women in Jordan
Only 15 percent of women are engaged in the formal economy in Jordan. This is due to many factors including cultural and societal norms, difficulties in finding transportation to job sites, safety concerns on public transit, and the cost and availability of child care. The collaborative sharing economy is making economic participation easier for these women who are now able to engage in economic activities from their own homes.
Gig economy platforms effectively use technology to make these jobs more accessible to women, while apps allow their location to be known to alleviate safety concerns. The time-specific nature of many jobs, such as an hour of babysitting or three hours of tutoring, also clarifies where and when work is taking place, so women's families are more comfortable with their commitments. Lastly, specified rates for tasks and time help ensure women are being paid fair wages for their labor.
These online platforms allow women to build reputable brands and establish effective user interfaces. It helps legitimize their businesses and connect them to customers.
Women from all different occupations are using the sharing economy to their advantage in Jordan. Hairstyling, child care, home maintenance, and tutoring are just some of the industries where women are becoming more empowered with the help of modern technological tools.
In a country where women have a particularly difficult time finding fair wages and safe work, the gig economy is providing a path to labor equality and empowerment for women across Jordan.

Objective: To report our experience with magnetic resonance urography (MRU) in pregnant women suspected of having obstructing upper tract calculi. The diagnosis of an upper tract calculus in the pregnant woman can be challenging. Recent evidence suggests that MRU can be used to effectively evaluate renal colic. Methods: From 2008-2011, 9 pregnant women were referred for evaluation of suspected renal colic caused by an obstructing upper tract stone. All patients underwent MRU with a half Fourier single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) protocol. Medical records and imaging studies were reviewed for demographic and clinical data as well as outcome measures. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 25 years (range 20-34); average gestational age of the fetus was 23 weeks (range 9-36). In all cases, a renal ultrasound was the initial imaging study obtained, with nondiagnostic findings. HASTE MRU detected 4 ureteral stones and 4 cases of physiological hydronephrosis of pregnancy. In one case, interpretation of the MRU was limited as a result of patient motion. Of the patients with obstructing stones, 1 required endourologic management during her pregnancy and 3 were followed conservatively. No adverse events related to MRU occurred. Conclusion: HASTE MRU is an informative imaging study for pregnant women with suspected upper tract stone disease. Information gathered from this study augments that gained from alternative modalities, and aids in medical decision-making. The lack of ionizing radiation exposure, coupled with the capture of detailed anatomic imaging, makes HASTE MRU a particularly useful study in this setting.

For my next tutorial I will be showing you how to draw a cartoon beaver step by step. I love animals, and the beaver just happens to be one of my favorite wildlife animals that exist. Now even though the beaver is a favorite of mine, I am actually submitting this lesson because a member who requested a beaver as a tutorial. Instead of doing a drawing on a real life looking beaver, I thought it would be fun to show you how to draw a cartoon version of this wood chopping animal. There is an age old question that is asked by many kids and adults. And that question was once asked by me as well. What is this mind boggling brain tease? Well, did you ever wonder if beavers eat wood? I mean if you think about it, the beavers that I was used to seeing were on T.V. and these animated beavers cooked wood, ate wood, and even used wood to make these humongous dames that they are usually associated with. About two years ago I did a little research of my own to find out if any of these myths were true, and here is what I found out. First off beavers are cousins to rats, mice, porcupines, and squirrels which means that they are a part of the rodent family. They live in ponds, rivers, lakes, streams and even marshes and they spend most of there time in the water due to the fact that they have short legs and webbed feet. Because of their body build, they cannot move well on solid ground making them vulnerable to land predators. Do they really eat wood? The answer to that question is yes! Beavers love eating bark and leaves with their favorite tree being the aspen. They have also been known to eat birch, alder, willow, and mountain maples. To answer your other question, yes they do build dams and lodges with the left over trees that they do not consume. Anyways no matter how you look at it, the beaver is a wonderfully pleasant animal that is fun to draw and color. You will learn "how to draw a beaver", step by step with easy to read instructions and simple to follow steps. I will be back in a while with more drawing fun so stay tuned and keep a look out for what comes out next. Peace out!

C# Job System tips and troubleshooting
When using the Unity C# Job System, make sure you adhere to the following:
Do not access static data from a job
Accessing static data from a job circumvents all safety systems. If you access the wrong data, you might crash Unity, often in unexpected ways. For example, accessing MonoBehaviour can cause crashes on domain reloads.
Note: Because of this risk, future versions of Unity will prevent global variable access from jobs using static analysis. If you do access static data inside a job, you should expect your code to break in future versions of Unity.
Flush scheduled batches
When you want your jobs to start executing, then you can flush the scheduled batch with JobHandle.ScheduleBatchedJobs. Note that calling this method can negatively impact performance. Not flushing the batch delays the scheduling until the main thread waits for the result. In all other cases use JobHandle.Complete to start the execution process.
Note: In the Entity Component System (ECS) the batch is implicitly flushed for you, so calling JobHandle.ScheduleBatchedJobs is not necessary.
Don't try to update NativeContainer contents
Due to the lack of ref returns, it is not possible to directly change the content of a NativeContainer. For example, nativeArray[0]++; is the same as writing var temp = nativeArray[0]; temp++; which does not update the value in nativeArray.
Instead, you must copy the data from the index into a local temporary copy, modify that copy, and save it back, like so:
MyStruct temp = myNativeArray[i];
temp.memberVariable = 0;
myNativeArray[i] = temp;
Call JobHandle.Complete to regain ownership
Tracing data ownership requires dependencies
See in Glossary
to complete before the main thread can use them again. It is not enough to check JobHandle.IsCompleted. You must call the method JobHandle.Complete to regain ownership of the NativeContainer types to the main thread. Calling Complete also cleans up the state in the safety system. Not doing so introduces a memory leak. This process also applies if you schedule new jobs every frame that has a dependency on the previous frame's job.
Use Schedule and Complete in the main thread
You can only call Schedule and Complete from the main thread. If one job depends on another, use JobHandle to manage dependencies rather than trying to schedule jobs within jobs.
Use Schedule and Complete at the right time
Call Schedule on a job as soon as you have the data it needs, and don't call Complete on it until you need the results. It is good practice to schedule a job that you do not need to wait for when it is not competing with any other jobs that are running. For example, if you have a period between the end of one frame and the beginning of the next frame where no jobs are running, and a one frame latency is acceptable, you can schedule the job towards the end of a frame and use its results in the following frame. Alternatively, if your game is saturating that changeover period with other jobs, and there is a big under-utilized period somewhere else in the frame, it is more efficient to schedule your job there instead.
Mark NativeContainer types as read-only
Remember that jobs have read and write access to NativeContainer types by default. Use the [ReadOnly] attribute when appropriate to improve performance.
Check for data dependencies
In the Unity ProfilerA window that helps you to optimize your game. It shows how much time is spent in the various areas of your game. For example, it can report the percentage of time spent rendering, animating or in your game logic. More info
See in Glossary
window, the marker "WaitForJobGroup" on the main thread indicates that Unity is waiting for a job on a worker thread to complete. This marker could mean that you have introduced a data dependency somewhere that you should resolve. Look for JobHandle.Complete to track down where you have data dependencies that are forcing the main thread to wait.
Debugging jobs
Jobs have a Run function that you can use in place of Schedule to immediately execute the job on the main thread. You can use this for debugging purposes.
Do not allocate managed memory in jobs
Allocating managed memory in jobs is incredibly slow, and the job is not able to make use of the Unity Burst compiler to improve performance. Burst is a new LLVM based backend compiler technology that makes things easier for you. It takes C# jobs and produces highly-optimized machine code taking advantage of the particular capabilities of your platform.

Article: A lysorophid amphibian from the Coal Measures of northern England
A description is given of the presacral vertebrae and ribs of a lysorophid amphibian from the Middle Coal Measures (Westphalian B) of Northumberland. The specimen is the earliest lysorophid yet described and is the first certainly identifiable member of the group to be recorded from any horizon outside North America. An isolated presacral vertebra from an unknown Coal Measures horizon at Low Moor, West Yorkshire, may represent additional evidence of lysorophids in the British Carboniferous. Lysorophids appear to have been present in both lacustrine and coal swamp pool environments in the Upper Carboniferous as well as surviving in'red bed' environments in the Lower Permian in North America.

manually twice, then you can delete it by requestID.
34.CAN U ADD A NEW FIELD AT THE ODS LEVEL?
Sure you can. ODS is nothing but a table.
35. CAN NUMBER OF DATASOURCES HAVE ONE INFOSOURCE?
Yes of course. For example, for loading text and hierarchies we use different data sources but the same InfoSource.
36. BRIEF THE DATAFLOW IN BW.
Data flows from transactional system to analytical system (BW). DataSources on the transactional system needs to be replicated on BW side and attached to infosource and update rules respectively.
37.AS WE USE Sbwnn, sbiw1, sbiw2 for delta update in LIS THEN WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE IN LO-COCKPIT?
No LIS in LO cockpit. We will have datasources and can be maintained (append fields). Refer white paper on LO-Cockpit extractions.
38.Why we delete the setup tables (LBWG) & fill them (OLI*BW)?
Initially we don't delete the setup tables but when we do change in extract structure we go for it. We r changing the extract structure right, that means there are some newly added fields in that which r not before. So to get the required data ( i.e.; the data which is required is taken and to avoid redundancy) we delete n then fill the setup tables.
To refresh the statistical data. The extraction set up reads the dataset that you want to process such as, customers orders with the tables like VBAK, VBAP) & fills the relevant communication structure with the data. The data is stored in cluster tables from where it is read when the initialization is run. It is important that during initialization phase, no one generates or modifies application data, at least until the tables can be set up.
39.SIGNIFICANCE of ODS?
It holds granular data (detailed level).
40.WHERE THE PSA DATA IS STORED?
In PSA table.
41.WHAT IS DATA SIZE?
The volume of data one data target holds (in no. of records)
42.Different types of INFOCUBES.
Basic, Virtual (remote, sap remote and multi)Virtual Cube is used for example, if you consider railways reservation all the information has to be updated online. For designing the Virtual cube you have to write the function module that is linking to table, Virtual cube it is like a the structure, when ever the table is updated the virtual cube will fetch the data from table and display report Online… FYI.. you will get the information : _URL_ /index.sdn and search for Designing Virtual Cube and you will get a good material designing the Function Module
43.WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT VARIABLES USED IN BEX?
Different Variable's are Texts, Formulas, Hierarchies, Hierarchy nodes & Characteristic values.
Variable Types are
Manual entry /default value
44.HOW MANY LEVELS YOU CAN GO IN REPORTING?
You can drill down to any level by using Navigational attributes and jump targets.
45.WHAT ARE INDEXES?
Indexes are data base indexes, which help in retrieving data fastly.
46.DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 2.1 AND 3.X VERSIONS.
Help! Refer documentation
47.IS IT NESSESARY TO INITIALIZE EACH TIME THE DELTA UPDATE IS USED?
48.WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF KPI'S?
KPI's indicate the performance of a company. These are key figures
49.What types of partitioning are there for BW?
There are two Partitioning Performance aspects for BW (Cube & PSA)
Query Data Retrieval Performance Improvement:Partitioning by (say) Date Range improves data retrieval by making best use of database [data range] execution plans and indexes (of say Oracle database engine).
B) Transactional Load Partitioning Improvement:Partitioning based on expected load volumes and data element sizes. Improves data loading into PSA and Cubes by infopackages (Eg. without timeouts).
50.How can I compare data in R/3 with data in a BW Cube after the daily delta loads? Are there any standard procedures for checking them or matching the number of records?
You can go to R/3 TCode RSA3 and run the extractor. It will give you the number of records extracted. Then go to BW Monitor to check the number of records in the PSA and check to see if it is the same & also in the monitor header tab.
51.Types of Update Rules?
(Check box), Return table
Routines, which we write in, transfer rules.
Routines, which we write in Update rules
54.What is the difference between writing a routine in transfer rules and writing a routine in update rules?
If you are using the same InfoSource to update data in more than one data target its better u write in transfer rules because u can assign one InfoSource to more than one data target & and what ever logic u write in update rules it is specific to particular one data target.
55.Routine with Return Table.
Update rules generally only have one return value. However, you can create a routine in the tab strip key figure calculation, by choosing checkbox Return table. The corresponding key figure routine then no longer has a return value, but a return table. You can then generate as many key figure values, as you like from one data record.
Start routines u can write in both updates rules and transfer rules, suppose you want to restrict (delete) some records based on conditions before getting loaded into data targets, then you can specify this in update rules-start routine.
Ex: – Delete Data_Package ani ante it will delete a record based on the condition
57.X & Y Tables?
X-table = A table to link material SIDs with SIDs for time-independent navigation attributes.
Y-table = A table to link material SIDs with SIDS for time-dependent navigation attributes.
There are four types of sid tables
X time independent navigational attributes sid tables
Y time dependent navigational attributes sid tables
H hierarchy sid tables
I hierarchy structure sid tables
58.What does the number in the 'Total' column in Transaction RSA7 mean?
The 'Total' column displays the number of LUWs that were written in the delta queue and that have not yet been confirmed. The number includes the LUWs of the last delta request (for repetition of a delta request) and the LUWs for the next delta request. A LUW only disappears from the RSA7 display when it has been transferred to the BW System and a new delta request has been received from the BW System.
59.How to know in which table (SAP BW) contains Technical Name / Description and creation data of a particular Reports. Reports that are created using BEx Analyzer.
There is no such table in BW if you want to know such details while you are opening a particular query press properties button you will come to know all the details that you wanted.
You will find your information about technical names and description about queries in the following tables. Directory of all reports (Table RSRREPDIR) and Directory of the reporting component elements (Table RSZELTDIR) for workbooks and the connections to queries check Whereused list for reports in workbooks (Table RSRWORKBOOK) Titles of Excel Workbooks in InfoCatalog (Table RSRWBINDEXT)
60.What is a LUW in the delta queue?
A LUW from the point of view of the delta queue can be an individual document, a group of documents from a collective run or a whole data packet of an application extractor.
61.Why does the number in the 'Total' column in the overview screen of Transaction RSA7 differ from the number of data records that is displayed when you call the detail view?
The number on the overview screen corresponds to the total of LUWs (see also first question) that were written to the qRFC queue and that have not yet been confirmed. The detail screen displays the records contained in the LUWs. Both, the records belonging to the previous delta request and the records that do not meet the selection conditions of the preceding delta init requests are filtered out. Thus, only the records that are ready for the next delta request are displayed on the detail screen. In the detail screen of Transaction RSA7, a possibly existing customer exit is not taken into account.
62.Why does Transaction RSA7 still display LUWs on the overview screen after successful delta loading?
Only when a new delta has been requested does the source system learn that the previous delta was successfully loaded to the BW System. Then, the LUWs of the previous delta may be confirmed (and also deleted). In the meantime, the LUWs must be kept for a possible delta request repetition. In particular, the number on the overview screen does not change when the first delta was loaded to the BW System.
63.Why are selections not taken into account when the delta queue is filled?
Filtering according to selections takes place when the system reads from the delta queue. This is necessary for reasons of performance.
64.Why is there a DataSource with '0' records in RSA7 if delta exists and has also been loaded successfully?
It is most likely that this is a DataSource that does not send delta data to the BW System via the delta queue but directly via the extractor (delta for master data using ALE change pointers). Such a DataSource should not be displayed in RSA7. This error is corrected with BW 2.0B Support Package 11.
65.Do the entries in table ROIDOCPRMS have an impact on the performance of the loading procedure from the delta queue?
The impact is limited. If performance problems are related to the loading process from the delta queue, then refer to the application-specific notes (for example in
