autosp - preprocessor to generate note-spacing commands for MusiXTeX scores
autosp [-v | --version | -h | --help]
autosp [-d | --dotted] [-l | --log] infile[.aspc] [outfile[.tex]]
This program makes it easier to create MusiXTeX scores by converting (non-standard) commands of the form \anotes... \en into one or more conventional note-spacing commands (\notes \Notes \NOtes...), determined by the actual note values, with \sk spacing commands inserted as necessary. The coding for an entire measure can be entered one part at a time, without concern for note-spacing changes within the part or spacing requirements of other parts.
For example, if applied to
 \anotes\qa J\qa K&\ca l\qa m\ca n\en
autosp generates
 \Notes\qa J\sk\qa K\sk&\ca l\qa m\sk\ca n\en
Typically, an \anotes command generates several conventional note-spacing commands.
If the infile argument does not have an.aspc extension, input is taken from infile.aspc if that file exists.
If the outfile argument does not have a.tex extension, output is sent to outfile.tex. If no outfile argument is provided, output will go to infile.tex (or to infile.ltx if a \documentclass declaration is encountered).
For \anotes commands, line breaks and spaces may precede note segments, allowing more flexible source formatting; the line breaks and spaces will be elided from the output.
For example,
is acceptable and generates
If the -l ( --log ) option is used, a very detailed log infile.alog is generated.
If the -d ( --dotted ) option is used, dotted beam notes of the form \qb{n}{.p} are not given extra space; it is assumed that the subsequent note will be shifted by a \roff-like command or a spacing command such as \qsk or \hqsk. Commands of the form \qlp{p}, \qlpp{p},..., \qpb{n}{p} and \qppb{n}{p} are always spaced as indicated.
If there is a single staff, consecutive whole-bar rest bars are merged into a multi-bar rest. Bar-centered rests can be coded using the standard \def\atnextbar notation but the non-standard command \Cpause in a note segment also generates a bar-centered rest.
Spacing commands \sk and \bsk in the source are discarded, but not "small" skips \hsk, \qsk, \tqsk, \hqsk or \qqsk, or the small "backward" skips \hbsk, \bqsk, \btsk, or \bhsk. Moreover, non-standard commands \QQsk, \HQsk \TQsk and \Qsk in the source generate "global" skips; i.e., the effect of \qqsk, \hqsk, \tqsk or \qsk, respectively, in every staff. These ensure that staffs remain synchronized if additional spacing is needed in any staff(s).
Global skips may also be obtained within collective-coding sequences by using up to four successive commas to get the effects of \QQsk, \HQsk, \TQsk or \Qsk, respectively. Global skips \tqsk (or, for double-flats, \qsk) are automatically inserted before accidentals ('^', '_', '=', '<', '>') on collective-coding notes (except when the preceding note is "virtual"; i.e., a skip). If this automatic additional spacing is not wanted in some context, it may be avoided by replacing the accidental in the collective-coding sequence by any of the explicit accidental commands: \sh, \fl, \na, \smallsh, \bigsh, etc. If the automatic spacing is insufficient, the spacing may be increased by adding sufficient commas or using a conventional notes command instead of \anotes.
A note segment can be completely empty, but if a note segment should start with or contain a "space," the note-value of that space must be made explicit with a command of the form \ha{*}, \qa{.*}, \qa{*}, \ca{*}, etc.
From version 2017-06-14, the effects of \TransformNotes calls are implemented by the autosp pre-processor. This enables use of musixlyr in autosp scores; musixlyr.tex is incompatible with the musixtnt.tex implementation of \TransformNotes.
All other conventional MusiXTeX commands are output exactly as given in the input.
autosp determines the spacing for ordinary notes from the note commands themselves; for example,
\qa, \qu, \ql, \qp result in \NOtes;
\ca, \cu, \cl, \ds result in \Notes;
and so on.
The spacing for beamed notes is determined by the beam multiplicity, so that \ib... results in \Notes, \ibb... results in \notes, etc.
Collective coding of note sequences (including accidentals and dots) is handled by expanding the sequence into a sequence of individual note commands.
autosp scales notes by the relevant instrument-size value.
autosp assumes that & and | (rather than \nextinstrument and \nextstaff) are used to separate instruments and staffs.
Appoggiaturas and grace notes are recognized by the use of \tinynotesize; note-spacing of 1.45\elemskip is used. If this isn't suitable and can't be corrected with a small skip, a \vnotes command with any desired spacing can be used.
autosp supports x-tuplets introduced using \xtuplet{x} or \xxtuplet{x:y} and triplets introduced using any of the following commands (regardless of any re-definition of \txt or \tuplettxt):
autosp assumes that an x-tuplet is to be played in (x-1)/x of the apparent x-tuplet duration. So, for example, a triplet in eighths is assumed to be played in the time of one quarter note. If this assumption isn't valid, the x-tuplet must be coded explicitly using a suitable \vnotes command; see the first measure of barsant2.aspc for an example of a non-standard x-tuplet: a 5-tuple of 64th notes with an intended duration of six 64ths.
In some polyrhythmic scores, the \txt numeral may be displaced, even if the notes themselves are correctly spaced. In these cases, it is possible to suppress the normal output of \txt by using the non-standard commands \Triolet (no arguments) or \Xtuplet{k}\ and placing a numeral at the correct location using \zcn (i.e., \zcharnote).
autosp can deal with simultaneous x-tuplets in multiple staffs provided the x values and total note durations are identical.
In some baroque scores, particularly by J.S. Bach, a beamed sixteenth note is vertically aligned with the third note of a triplet of eighth notes in another staff (implying that they should be sounded simultaneously); e.g.,
would be played as if notated
 \uptrio{b}10\ql L\hroff{\cl L}
The following coding will align the beamed sixteenth note with the third note of a triplet in another staff:
and, similarly, for triplets of sixteenth notes:
Generally, user-defined macros are not processed or expanded; however, definitions of the form
 \def\atnextbar{\znotes... \en}
generate definitions that do take account of \TransformNotes.
All staffs are assumed to have the same meter; see kinder2.aspc for an example of how to work around this.
autosp may not be effective for music with more than one voice in a single staff. It might be advisable to use a separate staff for each voice, to avoid \anotes when necessary, or to omit certain voices initially and add them into the resulting TeX file.
See files quod2.aspc, kinder2.aspc, geminiani.aspc and barsant2.aspc for scores suitable for input to autosp. The program tex2aspc can be used to convert "legacy" MusiXTeX scores to.aspc format.

Make the end of our
Bourbon's Journey
Just as refined as the beginning
While our bourbons are designed to bring an air of craft to any cocktail, a little technique can go a long way, as well. To help you learn the tricks and blending styles of our finest mixologists, we've created the handy guide below with six techniques to make you a better bartender.
Technique 1:
When crafting many types of cocktails, from the Bourbon Smash to the Mint Julep, you'll need to extract juice from fruit pulp and essential oils from herbs and citrus peels. In other words, muddling is a must. Before you begin, you'll need a muddler—a small metal or wooden pestle resembling a miniature baseball bat. Next, start by combining your fresh ingredients at the bottom of a mixing glass. Then use your muddler to press them together, releasing the flavors and allowing them to mingle with your other ingredients once added.
Technique 2:
In recent years, layering has become more and more popular, like in the Black Cherry Cooler. To layer a drink, individually pour the ingredients in a shot glass in order from heaviest to lightest. To prevent them from mixing together, carefully pour over a barspoon (or teaspoon). Because ingredients differ in density, the layers will stay separate. However, before you begin, you'll need to know how heavy your ingredients are in relation to one another. As a rule of thumb, the lower the proof of the alcohol, the heavier the ingredient is. For instance, grenadine (non-alcoholic) is heavier than Jim Beam Black® (86 proof/43% abv) which is heavier than Jim Beam® Bonded (100 proof/50% abv).
Technique 3:
Shaking came into prominence in the mid-1800s and has since become an undeniable trademark of cocktail society. Utter the phrase, "Shaken, not stirred." and everyone who's anyone will know exactly what you're referencing. A less well-known tidbit is that there are many types of shakers—the traditional three-part cobbler shaker, the more modern two-part Boston shaker and the French shaker, to name a few. No matter which kind of shaker you choose, start by pouring in your ingredients and then fill the shaker a third or halfway with ice. Next, seal the shaker and shake rhythmically until the outside feels cold enough. Finally, strain the shaker's contents into the proper glass. Just remember not to shake carbonated ingredients, except for in special circumstances.
Technique 4:
This is a less common cocktail mixing technique, but some drinks simply can't be made without an electric blender. Drinks calling for fresh fruit or ice pulp, like a Kentucky Margarita, should always be made this way. Simply add your ingredients to a blender with smashed ice. Then blend for about 10 to 30 seconds before pouring the blended cocktail directly into the proper glass.
Technique 5:
Ever made a Jim Beam®& Cola? That's building, and it's the simplest way to make a cocktail. To build your drink, carefully pour all the ingredients in the glass (generally over ice) and enjoy. Since carbonated ingredients like soda generally shouldn't be shaken, cocktails involving them will usually use this technique.
Technique 6:
Stirring is a classic method for mixing cocktails like the Manhattan. To begin, pour your ingredients into a Yarai mixing glass and then fill the rest of the way with ice. Next, stir well with a barspoon until your drink is well chilled and mixed. And finally, strain your cocktail into the proper glass.
practice makes damn good drinks
Now that you know the basics, you're all set to begin perfecting your methods on our extenisve list of cocktails or, of course, to try your hand at inventing few drinks of your own

Because the friar prepares a potion contrary to anything known to science, some critics have labeled this a supernatural element in the plot. Is it plausible that the friar should have in his possession a potion capable of making a person appear dead for a set length of time?

Answered by Aslan
Plant science and apothecary science were well established in Elizabethan times. They certainly had sedatives made from plant extract so we can accept the Friar's potion, even if the idea of a prolonged "sleep" is a little far fetched.

Hourglass funnel diagram PowerPoint and keynote template is a professional design that can be used to show multi-topic presentations. Normally hourglass and funnel represent the different spheres of organized knowledge. Hourglass indicating time management and the funnel symbolizes the filtering process; both have certain values in management and marketing areas. Historically hourglasses have been used to measure time years back. One can calculate the time by the amount of sand that has been distributed from the top part of the hourglass to the bottom. When all the sand is found at the bottom, it means that time has run out. Users can apply the hourglass theory to project reports and studies. This template can use to display the importance of time scheduling in project management and personal development.
Funnel diagram PowerPoint is used to show the conversion rate of a specific product. It is for sales presentations. To achieve preferred goals and milestones this diagram process flow chart surely helps you. The process behind marketing and sales and the strategies and plans and project and business development can be illustrated with this simple hourglass funnel diagram PowerPoint. The layout has seven segments including the heading section. Users can depict six-element or concepts related to the theme. Each segment is colored differently and having individual text areas. Any topic like; time cost, quality, HR management, risk evaluation, procurement can display on this structure. It is for the presentation of organized knowledge than random perception. The presenter should try to filter out the concepts through using the method of science and make an exact presentation before the executive audience. The presenter can resize the design and its objects, also customize the color including background. Users can search funnel diagram to showcase business and marketing plans.

A new teacher becomes master of the village school. He is a small man, and the parents are afraid that he will not be able to control their unruly children.
In the first class, the teacher tells the children to decide on the rules for class behaviour. Together they decide to abide by the following rules:
The teacher asks, "How should these crimes be punished?"
One of the senior boys says, "They should be punished with 10 lashes."
Later another boy steals the lunch of this senior boy. He is caught, and the teacher says that the crime must be punished.
However, the senior boy sees that the boy to be punished is weak and is not able to bear the punishment. So he tells the teacher to punish him instead.

Terminological quandaries with the term »museum pedagogy«
Dr. Zdenko Kodelja and dr. Lidija Tavčar
Summary: The main topics of this article are some terminological problems with the term »museum pedagogy«, which has been used in Slovenia for more than two decades. This term is problematic for at least two reasons. Firstly, because it includes educational work with both children and adults in museums and galleries, but at the same time it does not take into consideration a crucial change which took place with the establishment of Andragogy as a specifi c educational science. The second reason why the term »museum pedagogy« is problematic is that it leads to the wrong conclusion that Museum Pedagogy is a specific educational science or discipline, although actually it is not.

Língua do Pê, or P Language, is a language game spoken in Brazil and Portugal with Portuguese. It is also known in other languages, such as Dutch and Afrikaans. (Wikipedia)
There are some dialects in this language game. The different languages the game is played with even have their own unique dialects. Some people are fluent in speaking P Language and the best can even translate any text to their preferred dialect on the spot!
In this challenge, we will use the Double Talk dialect.
To translate text into P Language, any sequence of vowels in the text is appended with a single
p character followed by a copy of the sequence of vowels.
Write a function or program that accepts a string as input and outputs its translation in P Language.
- The input consists only of printable ASCII characters.
- The output consists only of the translated input and optionally a trailing newline.
- Vowels are any of the following characters
- A sequence of vowels is delimited by any other character. The string
"Aa aa-aa"has three vowel sequences.
- Leading and trailing whitespace may optionally be omitted from the translated output string.
"" => "" "Lingua do Pe" => "Lipinguapua dopo Pepe" "Hello world!" => "Hepellopo woporld!" "Aa aa-aa" => "AapAa aapaa-aapaa" "This should be easy, right?" => "Thipis shoupould bepe eapeasypy, ripight?" "WHAT ABOUT CAPS?" => "WHApAT ApABOUpOUT CApAPS?" " Hi " => " Hipi " or "Hipi"
The double quotes character
" is used to delimit the input and output strings in the examples but obviously this character may also appear in any valid input string.

Examples of Just Do It
Examples of Just Do It
Where does Just Do It come from?
The Just Do It video, also known as Shia LaBeouf's Intense Motivational Speech, was released in 2015. It shows actor Shia LaBeouf, of Nymphomaniac and Transformers fame, giving what is supposedly a motivational speech in front of a green screen. In it, LaBeouf repeatedly roars "Just do it!" at the camera while making wildly over-the-top, furious expressions and gestures. He also growls such lines as: "Don't let your dreams be dreams, yesterday you said tomorrow, so just do it!"
This video exploded in popularity almost as soon as it was released. There was some misconception that LaBeouf made the video as an earnest motivational speech, particularly given Shia LaBeouf's eccentric public persona. But, in actuality, LaBeouf's zealous performance was part of an art project.
The Just Do It video has its origins in Central Saint Martins, the London arts college, where LaBeouf joined in on a project called _TAG_. This project had each student in class write a short script for LaBeouf to perform, lasting no more than 100 words, with an emphasis on strong emotion. LaBeouf actually did thirty of these performances, some involving different stunts or props. Other pieces from the same set can be found online. The Just Do It segment that went viral was written by student Joshua Parker, who intended it as a mockery of the corporate health and fitness industry, specifically targeting one of its most famous slogans, Nike's Just Do It.
The green background is no accident; as many film students know, a green screen is used to superimposes backgrounds, special effects, props, and so on. Here, it allowed the London film students to edit in their own footage and use it as an introductory video for their projects. When the Just Do It clip went online, it was released under a Creative Commons license, specifically so that viewers could rework it however they pleased—which millions of people did do, and quite rapidly so.
Who uses Just Do It?
Though the Intense Motivational Speech spread virally in its original form, it became even more intense when internet users began taking advantage of the green screen provided.
Because a green screen allows editors to replace the background with anything they want, the original Just Do It clip has been reworked to depict Shia LaBeouf's speech in countless different scenarios. Videos have shown him giving the speech before massive crowds from archival film footage (e.g., Hitler's rallies), delivering it as a TED talk, or superimposed onto the Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer. There's even one version where he replaces Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back, with Shia telling a distressed Luke Skywalker to "Just do it!" and use the force.
There are also parody videos that show other people giving the same exaggerated speech in front of a green screen.

Europe's sacred lands – a secret in need
04 April 2012 | News story
'The Diversity of Sacred Lands in Europe', provides a unique insight into Europe's often forgotten sacred natural sites. It looks into their history, importance and the threats they currently face. The book is a must-read for managers of European protected areas and landscapes and those interested in the religious and cultural aspects of European natural sites. Published by IUCN and Metsähallitus Natural Heritage Services of Finland, the book is part of a series issued by The Delos Initiative of IUCN's World Commission on Protected Areas.
Authors of the book place special attention to the sacred places of the Sámi indigenous people living in northern Finland, Sweden, Norway and North-West Russia. They also describe sacred natural sites in Albania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Romania, North-West Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
"Sacred natural sites hold traditional and spiritual values that are often hidden from the modern world and that are deeply linked to ecosystem and landscape management", says Gonzalo Oviedo, IUCN's senior adviser for social policy. "These values are extremely important for Europe's cultural, spiritual and natural heritage. They include some unique knowledge of traditional medicine, livestock breeding, wildlife and agricultural cycles. Greater recognition of this knowledge and better management of these areas can help us sustainably conserve our natural heritage, especially in the time of increasing climate change."
"The importance of sacred natural sites is rarely recognized these days and their values are often ignored in the face of expanding urbanisation and insensitive development initiatives", says Josep Maria Mallarach, one of the editors of the book and coordinator of The Delos Initiative. "Tourism also puts pressure on these unique places, causing physical and spiritual degradation."
"Integrated management of the sites and improved public awareness can help address these challenges", says Thymio Papayannis, co-editor of the book and joint coordinator of The Delos Initiative. "Closer collaboration between the custodians of sacred natural sites and conservationists is crucial if we want to safeguard Europe's unique natural, cultural and spiritual values of such sites."

Definition of haute bourgeoisie in English:
noun(the haute bourgeoisie) [treated as singular or plural]
The upper middle class.
- Today, Occultists are routinely disparaged by the superior classes, the haute bourgeoisie, to which I belong, and which also includes most of the widely read art critics and influential art historians.
- These forms of unearned income linked to exploitation led to the emergence of the haute bourgeoisie as a new ruling class, which molded the state and church into instruments of domination over the petit bourgeoisie and the working class.
- Not all Dresden was bombed, of course; on the banks of the Elbe there are still the magnificent villas of the haute bourgeoisie.

Detailed scintillation properties of Sc2O3, especially γ-ray response, are not well studied because of low density and low effective atomic number of this compound. They are reported in this paper. Sc2O3 single crystals grown by the micro-pulling-down method and Sc2O3 translucent ceramics produced by the spark plasma sintering are analyzed. Optical, luminescence, and scintillation properties of these singleand poly-crystalline solids are discussed and compared based on examination of their optical transmittance, radio-luminescence spectra, light yields under γ-ray excitation, non-proportionality, energy resolution, and scintillation decay profiles. Spectrally corrected light yields of the Sc2O3 single crystals and Sc2O3 ceramics were approximately 7,700 and 19,200 photons/MeV, respectively.

Giovanni Antonio Scopoli (June 3, 1723 - May 8, 1788) was an Italian-Austrian physician and naturalist.
Scopoli was born at Cavalese in the Val di Fiemme, the son of a lawyer. He obtained a degree in medicine at University of Innsbruck, and practiced as a doctor in Cavalese and Venice. Much of his time was spent collecting plants and insects in the Alps. He spent two years as private secretary to the Count of Seckan, and then was appointed as physician of the mines in Idrija, a small village in Slovenia, remaining there for sixteen years. In 1761 he published De Hydroargyro Idriensi Tentamina on the symptoms of mercury poisoning among miners.
Scopoli spent time studying the local natural history, publishing Flora Carniolica (1760) as well as a major work on entomology. He also published Anni Historico-Naturales (1769-72), which included descriptions of new birds from various collections.
In 1769 Scopoli was appointed a senior lecturer at Mining Academy at Chemnitz, and in 1777 transferred to the University of Pavia. His last work was Deliciae Flora et Fauna Insubricae (1786-88), which included scientific names for birds and mammals described by Pierre Sonnerat in the accounts of his voyages.
The drug Scopolamine is named after him. The standard botanical author abbreviation Scop. is applied to species he described.

Index of dispersion
In probability theory and statistics, the index of dispersion, dispersion index, coefficient of dispersion, or variance-to-mean ratio (VMR), like the coefficient of variation, is a normalized measure of the dispersion of a probability distribution: it is a measure used to quantify whether a set of observed occurrences are clustered or dispersed compared to a standard statistical model.
It is also known as the Fano factor, though this term is sometimes reserved for windowed data (the mean and variance are computed over a subpopulation), where the index of dispersion is the special case where the window is infinite. Windowing data is frequently done: the VMR is frequently computed over various intervals in time or small regions in space, which may be called "windows", and the resulting statistic called the Fano factor.
It is only defined when the mean μ is non-zero, and is generally only used for positive statistics, such as count data or time between events, or where the underlying distribution is assumed to be the exponential distribution or Poisson distribution.
In this context, the observed dataset may consist of the times of occurrence of predefined events, such as earthquakes in a given region over a given magnitude, or of the locations in geographical space of plants of a given species. Details of such occurrences are first converted into counts of the numbers of events or occurrences in each of a set of equal-sized timeor space-regions.
The above defines a dispersion index for counts. A different definition applies for a dispersion index for intervals, where the quantities treated are the lengths of the time-intervals between the events, and where the index is equivalent to the square of the coefficient of variation of the interval lengths. Common usage is that "index of dispersion" means the dispersion index for counts.
Some distributions, most notably the Poisson distribution, have equal variance and mean, giving them a VMR = 1. The geometric distribution and the negative binomial distribution have VMR > 1, while the binomial distribution has VMR < 1, and the constant random variable has VMR = 0. This yields the following table:
|constant random variable||VMR = 0||not dispersed|
|binomial distribution||0 < VMR < 1||under-dispersed|
|Poisson distribution||VMR = 1|
|negative binomial distribution||VMR > 1||over-dispersed|
When the coefficient of dispersion is less than 1, a dataset is said to be "under-dispersed": this condition can relate to patterns of occurrence that are more regular than the randomness associated with a Poisson process. For instance, points spread uniformly in space or regular, periodic events will be under-dispersed.
If the index of dispersion is larger than 1, a dataset is said to be over-dispersed: this can correspond to the existence of clusters of occurrences. Clumped, concentrated data is over-dispersed.
In terms of the interval-counts, over-dispersion corresponds to there being more intervals with low counts and more intervals with high counts, compared to a Poisson distribution: in contrast, under-dispersion is characterised by there being more intervals having counts close to the mean count, compared to a Poisson distribution.
The relevance of the index of dispersion is that it has a value of one when the probability distribution of the number of occurrences in an interval is a Poisson distribution. Thus the measure can be used to assess whether observed data can be modeled using a Poisson process.
A sample-based estimate of the dispersion index can be used to construct a formal statistical hypothesis test for the adequacy of the model that a series of counts follow a Poisson distribution.
The VMR is a good measure of the degree of randomness of a given phenomenon. This technique is also commonly used in currency management.
For randomly diffusing particles (Brownian motion), the distribution of the number of particle inside a given volume is poissonian, i.e. VMR=1. Therefore, to assess if a given spatial pattern (assuming you have a way to measure it) is due purely to diffusion or if some particle-particle interaction is involved : divide the space into patches, Quadrats or Sample Units (SU), count the number of individuals in each patch or SU, and compute the VMR. VMRs significantly higher than 1 denote a clustered distribution, where random walk is not enough to smother the attractive inter-particle potential.
The first to discuss the use of a test to detect deviations from a Poisson or binomial distribution appears to have been Lexis in 1877. One of the tests he developed was the Lexis ratio.
This index was first used in botany by Clapham in 1936.
If the variates are Poisson distributed then ihe index of dispersion is distributed as a χ2 statistic with n - 1 degrees of freedom when n is large and is μ > 3. For many cases of interest this approximation is accurate and Fisher in 1950 derived an exact test for it.
Hoel studied the first four moments of its distribution He found that the approximation to the χ2 statistic is reasonable if μ > 5.

About form two National Assessment examination tanzania
The Form Two National Assessment examination is conducted every year in Tanzania. It is a key step in advancing students' reading and writing skills and also covers their knowledge of other subjects like Basic mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, History, English, Kiswahili, Civics, Biology, And other subjects
The National Examinations Council of Tanzania (NECTA) is a Government Institution which was established by the Parliamentary Act No. 21 of 1973. NECTA is responsible for the administration of all National Examinations in Tanzania.
The decision to establish NECTA was a follow-up of an earlier move, in April 1971, when Tanzania Mainland pulled out of the East African Examinations Council (EAEC) to conduct her own examinations. Zanzibar pulled out of EAEC in 1970. Before the pull out, between 1968 and 1971, Tanzania sat for foreign Secondary School Examinations conducted jointly by the East African Syndicate, which before then were conducted by the Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate alone. The Examinations conducted by the Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate then were the School Certificate and the Higher School Certificate Examinations. The School Certificate Examinations was taken by the African Students for the first time in 1947 and that of the Higher School Certificate in 1960.
Summary of NECTA's History
After Tanzania Mainland had pulled out of the East African Examinations Council, in 1971 and before NECTA was established by Law, in 1973, the Curriculum and Examinations Section of the Ministry of Education was responsible for all examinations. With the establishment of NECTA, the Examinations became its responsibility in accordance with the law. The Curriculum continued to be under the Ministry of Education and the University College, Tanga until when it was taken over by the newly established, autonomous Institute of Curriculum Development (ICD) in 1975, which in 1993 was renamed as the Tanzania Institute of Education (TIE).
Between 1972 and 1976 the first staff of NECTA were recruited, among them was Mr. P. P Gandye who was recruited in 1972 and later on in 1994 was appointed as Executive Secretary. The other staff members continued to be recruited and especially so when NECTA's premises moved from the Ministry of Education Headquarters to the present premises at Kijitonyama near Mwenge. Presently the number of NECTA's staff is more than 250.


projecting sign
A sign that is attached to a building but extends beyond the building structure. Regulators often set a predetermined distance that a sign must extend beyond a building for it to be considered a projecting sign. A decorated awning is an example of a projecting sign. (Also called blade sign.)

Introduction: Paraquat is a commonly ingested poison especially in Southern India. There is no antidote for paraquat poison and consumption is often fatal. The usual cause of death is either acute lung injury or multi-organ failure. Aim: To evaluate the role of early haemoperfusion as a therapy in paraquat poisoned patients. Materials and Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of patients admitted to a Tertiary Medical College Hospital between January 2012 and December 2015 with history of paraquat consumption, comparing outcomes in those who received only gastric lavage and symptomatic treatment with those who received haemoperfusion as a therapy. The role of early haemoperfusion (≤ 6 hours) vs late haemoperfusion (> 6 hours) in paraquat poisoned patients was also compared. The data of these patients was extracted and analysed with respect to age, sex, mode of treatment, the outcome in patients who received early and late haemoperfusion. results: A total of 101 patients were studied out of which 62 died. Deaths were more in those patients who received only gastric lavage with symptomatic treatment as therapy compared to those who received haemoperfusion i.e., 92.1% vs 42.9% respectively. We also found that, the survival rate was better in patients who received early haemoperfusion. conclusion: Early haemoperfusion was helpful in the management of severe paraquat poisoning and improved the survival rate in these patients.

Why Do Peanut Butter Cookies Have Criss Cross Marks on Them
I have to admit I am not a big baker. This topic is a little beyond my scope of baking knowledge but I will try my best to find the underlying cause of this issue. It has become traditional to put marks with a fork on peanut butter cookies because it has always been done that way. The first cookbook with peanut butter cookies came from Ruth Wakefield's Tollhouse in 1936. What is the thought behind the marks? Well there are a couple of trains of thought on this one. In fact, some of them are somewhat funny. Some think the criss cross is a warning. Others think it has religious undertones either good or evil! Still others think it is to mark the cookies so you know what they are. Remember some people have allergies to nuts. This would be one way to let them know the peanut ingredient within the cookies.
However, this one explanation makes sense. In the early 1930's recipes began to tell cooks to make a criss cross pattern on the cookies. People also refer to them as hatch marks. It did not tell them why? Over the years, cooks have come to their own conclusions. One such conclusion is that it flattens the dough and thus making them crispier. I would tend to agree. Another reasonable explanation is that it flattens the dough so it can bake more evenly. In researching this topic, it seems that flattening the dough actually helps to keep the cookie dough together and uniformed. Otherwise, it may just crumble apart while baking. Could it be that all this guessing and hindsight is for nothing? Perhaps it is just a design for the cookie. Just something to dress it up? Maybe there is no real significance to the forked criss cross pattern after all.
Being a Christian myself, I like the thought that it has a religious meaning. It is thought that the marks are actually a holy image of the cross. This could have been a way to protect the people eating the cookies, which were probably your own family. That is a nice and protecting thought. So there you have the reasons and thoughts behind the criss cross marks made on peanut butter cookies. Which one do you think is true? The next time you have a peanut butter cookie maybe you will figure it out.
4 thoughts on "Why Do Peanut Butter Cookies Have Criss Cross Marks on Them"
 1. I thought it was because Peanut Butter cookies don't spread out in the oven like chocolate chip and other cookies. So, in order to have a flat cookie shape, you have to roll a ball, put it on the cookie sheet, and flatten it with a fork. That's what makes the criss-crosses – the fork flattening. And the crosses are only on Peanut Butter cookies because they are the only cookies that you need to do this for them to bake right. All other cookies, you roll into a ball, place on the sheet, and then let the oven flatten them while they bake. No fork needed. Thus, no criss-crosses.

Irish Fiddle Lessons - Ian Walsh teaches the Irish Hornpipe The Golden Eagle.
Tags:How to Play the Song "The Golden Eagle" on an Iris,Ian Walsh,irish Fiddle Lesson,Learn To Play Fiddle,Learning Irish Fiddle,The Golden Eagle,Violin fiddle lessons
Grab video code:
Hi! Welcome to OnLineLessonVideos.com. I'm Ian Walsh and I'm going to teach an Irish tune today on the fiddle. It's called the Golden Eagle and it's a horn pipe. We'll play it in the key of G.
I'll start off by playing you a sample of the tune along to a quick track that I've set at about 70 beats per minute. So here we go with the Golden Eagle.
Let's begin by leading into this tune with some pickup notes. We'll start on the C, this is on the A string here. You work up A, B, C which plays right next to your first finger pretty much right on top of it. So that could be our first note and we'll start with the triplet here. So three notes and then we'll go to the G. So let's just cycle through that a few times [Demonstration]. Try sliding into your first note, the C and I'll give it a little bit of an aggressive edge [Demonstration].
Let's take a look at another section here, we go down to our B on the g string and we play. So we're crossing three strings, pretty quickly there and I'm not doing anything special with my bow. I'm keeping my bow movement short and I'm working at the top of my bow but I'm not slurring any notes, I'm going straight up and down here. So from B [Demonstration], so those notes are B, D, G, B.
Let's take a look at another section here. We start with the open D. This is a little bit easier, you're only working across two strings and you're using your first and third fingers.
Let's take a look at another one. This is more or less a G arpeggio and it starts on the G on the d string and we play [Demonstration]. So again, you're moving across three strings here ending on the e string on that G note with your second finger.
So let's go back to the beginning here and we'll look at that pickup note, the C, B, A down to your first note of the tune, the G. Take a look at the second little section. You go down to that low B and all the way up to the B again. Then we look here to the low D [Demonstration] and then finally we have that G arpeggio [Demonstration].
Notice I'm leaving my fingers down on the A string here. You can visualize two of the double stamps that are readily apparent here for the G. You can use a G with a D with your A and your E string or you can do the G and the B. Leaving your fingers down can be good practice for getting your fingers just on the individual strings.
Let's put all of these together and see what it sounds like. I'll count us in, one, two, three, [Demonstration] one, two, three [Demonstration]. One more time, one, two, three [Demonstration]

The Milkwater is a river located beyond the Wall. It is created from several tributaries that originate in the Frostfangs, and runs south along the mountain range until it pours its waters into the Bay of Ice. It carves a deep gorge through the mountains as it empties into the sea at the western end of the Wall, which is guarded by the Shadow Tower.
The Milkwater has four main branches, none of which has been revealed to have a formal name - they are all considered part of "the Milkwater". One major branch runs all the way north along the mountain range, almost to the valley of the Thenn. The next branch runs northwest from the Fist of the First Men, north of the Skirling Pass. A third branch runs south of the Fist and the Skirling Pass. The fourth and southernmost branch actually doesn't originate in the Frostfangs, but in the Haunted Forest to the east. Indeed, it extends as far east as Castle Black (though at a much northern latitude), and runs past Craster's Keep. This final branch joins the river somewhat north of the Shadow Tower.

Indian palm squirrel
Funambulus palmarum
The Indian palm squirrel also known as three-striped palm squirrel, is a species of rodent in the Sciuridae family that can be easily domesticated and kept as a pet. It is found naturally in India and Sri Lanka. In the late 19th century, the Palm squirrel was accidentally introduced into Western Australia, where it has since become a minor pest that is actively targeted for eradication due to its lack of natural predators.

Real-Time Ray-Traced Ambient Occlusion of Complex Scenes using Spatial Hashing
Pascal Gautron, NVIDIA
GTC 2020
Ambient occlusion is an effective way to approximate global illumination: in essence, the closer a point is to its surroundings, the darker it gets. For real-time rendering, this effect is often approximated using screen-space techniques, leading to visible artifacts. Ray tracing provides a unique way to increase the rendering fidelity by accurately computing the distance to the surrounding objects, but it introduces sampling noise. Using the NVIDIA RTX technology available with Vulkan, we propose a real-time ray-traced ambient occlusion technique in which noise is removed in world space. Using spatial hashing for efficient storage, we'll cover all the technical challenges to make ambient occlusion a production feature usable in CAD viewports with scenes comprising thousands of instances and hundreds of millions of polygons.

You should override Object.Equals() and also implement the
IEquatable interface.
By default, Equals() on a reference type checks to see if the objects refer to the same
location in memory. This may be acceptable in some circumstances, but often, you'll
want to provide your own behavior. With value types, the default behavior is to reflect
over each field and do a bit-by-bit comparison. This can have a very negative impact
on performance, and in nearly every case you should provide your own implementation
of Equals().
struct Vertex3d : IFormattable, IEquatable
public override bool Equals(object obj)
if (obj == null)
return false;
if (obj.GetType()!= this.GetType())
return false;
return Equals((Vertex3d)obj);
public bool Equals(Vertex3d other)
/* If Vertex3d were a reference type you would also need:
* if ((object)other == null)
* return false;
* if (!base.Equals(other))
* return false;
return this._x == other._x
&& this._y == other._y
&& this._z == other._z;
Pay special attention to the note in Equals(Vertex3d other). If Vertex3d
was a reference type and other was null, the type-safe version of the function would
be called, not the Object version. You also need to call all the base classes in the
hierarchy so they have an opportunity to check their own fields.
There's nothing stopping you from also implementing IEquatable (or any
other type) on your type—you can define it however you want. Use with caution,
however, because this may confuse people who have to use your code.

, Rosdiana (1997) A Morphological study of Malang reversion usage. Bachelor thesis, Petra Christian University.Full text not available from this repository.
Malang Walikan is a kind of language that uses reversed words in which Malang people use in their daily-conversation, especially in informal talks. Usually it is the younger generations who use such language more often than the older ones. There are three reasons why the writer is interested in analyzing Malang reversion. The first reason is because she has many friends who live in Malang and use the reversion everyday. The second is she is curious about the usage of Malang reversion. She becomes more interested in such reversion after she read a thesis of Malang reversion done by former student of IKIP Malang in 1976. This study tries to find out the various types of Malang Walikan. Another important focus of this study is to determine the source languages of Malang Walikan. This study is also a kind of further study of similar research conducted by Melik Sumanandar. The reason is to find out the proves of the writer's disagreement to Sumanandar's findings. After a thorough analysis, it is revealed that Malang Walikan can be divided into three types of words; Systematic reversion, Fluctuated reversion, and Slang. There is a particular formula to form systematic reversion, while the other two types could not be found any formula. The formula is: p l + P 2 +..... + p x becomes Px +P(x-1)+......+P1 The words of Systematic and Fluctuated reversions are derived from Indonesian and Javanese since the people of Malang are influenced by the usage of both languages. Thus, the domination of Indonesian words can be seen obviously in both types of reversion.

theta is always negative for long calls and long put
Discussion in 'P1.T3. Financial Markets & Products (30%)' started by qin841121, May 9, 2012.

 This is a statement by schweser and also investopedia. How can it be true?
 For long put, the longer the option, the cheaper it may get as the expected price of stock will be higher due to interest and because of this the put will decrease in value?
 What is wrong with my logic?
 2. Theta for a long call is always negative. True.
 However, Theta of a long put always exceeds the theta of a call by a fixed amount. Hence for out-of-money puts, the theta may be positive also.
 Another concept to be aware of, theta is measured in terms of "time remaining to maturity (T-t)" in contrast to "time passed (t)" - thinking in terms of "time passed" may be akin to reversing the sign of theta.

The gravity in ZDoom works as normal in the Doom engine: it corresponds to a value which is added to a thing's vertical velocity linearly each tic. During the first tic of free fall, that value is added twice.
However, ZDoom offers multiple ways in which the gravity value is affected, instead of being a constant as in vanilla Doom. An actor's gravity factor is the product of the following factors:
- The level's overall gravity, as defined in MAPINFO with the gravity map property. Note that this value is set on a scale of 800.
- The sector's own gravity, as defined in UDMF with the gravity sector property and in Hexen format with the Static_Init special; possibly modified with Sector_SetGravity.
- The actor's own Gravity property in DECORATE, possibly modified through ACS with the APROP_Gravity property.
Internally, the default values are all 1.0, so a fall lasting one second (35 tics) gives an accumulated speed of 36 in the default conditions.
In addition, being underwater also affects gravity depending on the depth of immersion: a waterlevel of 1 divides it by 16; a waterlevel of 2 or 3 divides it by 8.
Although you are advised to use MAPINFO for it, level gravity can also be affected with FraggleScript with either gravity on a scale of 100 or with consolecmd gravity on a scale of 1.

Keep your Fire Hydrants clear from snow
"Clearing snow around fire hydrants keeps them visible and accessible and will save valuable time in the case of an emergency," In order for firefighters to quickly and easily utilize a fire hydrant in the event of a fire, there needs to be a 3 foot radius surrounding the hydrant that is completely cleared of snow. If a hydrant is covered, the firefighters need to clear it themselves and the delay that this causes could mean additional property damage, injuries or even lives lost. Unfortunately, this is sometimes an issue and the main reason for it is that people simply don't know whose responsibility it is to clear the hydrants in their neighborhood. It is your responsibility to clear Fire Hydrants located close to your home.

When you can volunteer
There's no upper age limit on volunteering. However, some organisations' insurance policies do not cover you if you're under 16 or over a certain age (usually 80).
You cannot work for a profit-making organisation if you're under 14, even if you're not paid.
Your local councils might have extra rules about the work you can do as a young person. For example, you might not be able to volunteer at a charity shop if the council decides that it's a profit-making organisation.
People aged 50 or older can find volunteering opportunities with the Retired and Senior Volunteering Programme.
Volunteering and benefits
You can volunteer and claim benefits if:
- the only money you get from volunteering is to cover expenses, like travel costs
- you continue to meet the conditions of the benefit you get
If you have a criminal record you can still volunteer in most roles, depending on your offences. You might need a Disclosure and Barring Service check if you want to volunteer with children or vulnerable adults.

Google Sheets Tutorial
How To Split First Name and Last Name In Google Sheets
Get Martech tutorials, tips and strategies delivered straight to your inbox - it's free!
G'day guys, Chris Higgins from Electric Monk here. Hope you're doing well.
So today I've got a really fantastic Google Sheets tip to share with you, and I'm only slightly embarrassed to admit that I have only just discovered this feature in the last few months. Now this is one of those features where if you're aware of it and you use it often, you'll likely think that this is the dumbest tutorial in history. However, if you're not already aware of this feature, then this video will probably... maybe change your life.
So let's jump into Google Sheets and have a look at what's going on. You can see here I've got my sample list of contacts. These are all students at a particularly prestigious boarding school, and we've got a column for their name, their email address and their assigned school house.
The problem that we've got is that all of the students' names have been entered as full names in a single column rather than being split into separate columns. If you work with a lot of contact data, you will have received CSV files just like this yourself. And the issue is that platforms like HubSpot typically store names as two separate properties - first name and last name - and they won't actually allow you to upload any contact data if the names aren't formatted correctly. So, we need to find a way to split these names out into separate columns before we can upload this data into our CRM.
Now, the obvious answer is to go through them all line by line, cutting and pasting the surname values into a new column. And that's manageable if you've got a list like this that only contains 40 or so names, but if you're dealing with a file that includes hundreds or perhaps even thousands of names, that can be really time consuming.
So it turns out that there is a feature in Google Sheets that enables you to split data into multiple cells, and it makes it ridiculously quick to format a list of contacts just like this one. So the first thing we need to do is create a new empty column next to our full name column, which you can do by right clicking and selecting the Insert column option. It's worth eyeballing your list of names at this point to see if you've got any contacts with middle names or titles, because at the end of this process each name is going to be split into its own cell. So if you do have any contacts with three or four names, make sure you create a couple of extra columns to accommodate them. Once you've got your empty column in place, you need to highlight the column that contains the names that you want to split, then click Data, and then click Split text to columns.
You should then see this small tool bar that asks you what separator you'd like to use. Choose Space, and then that is literally it. Your names should now be split out into separate columns. The final thing you need to do is just ensure that your column headers are updated so that they'll be recognised when you import them into HubSpot.
I really hope you found this useful and please do feel free to let me know in the comments if there are any other MarTech tutorials that you'd like me to create. Cheers!

Bible Question:
Is God the only One who can truly heal? Today, healings are reported in occult religions. The Bible teaches that Christ healed as compelling evidence that He was the Messiah. Some say Satan cannot perform supernatural works but only super normal ones and can only work through the natural process of healing. Some say Satan can only remove a sickness that he put upon them, and then let the body recover naturally. Can Satan make people sick and heal people too?
Bible Answer:
Can Satan heal? A search of the Bible reveals that healing is referred to over 150 times in the Bible, depending upon the translation. However, there are no statements in the Bible that say Satan or demons have healed or can heal. Yet, one question that we must ask is, "Are there any examples in Scriptures that suggest or reveal Satan can heal?" Another question is, "Are there any comments by Christ that reveal Satan can heal or cannot heal?" What follows will answer these questions.
Can Satan Heal
Can Satan Heal?
We will examine two important examples and one teaching from Christ that will help us learn if Satan can heal. The first example is that of the Egyptian magicians who copied the plagues of Aaron. The second example is the statement that the antichrist's fatal wound was healed. The teaching from Jesus is found in Matthew 12:25-29.
Egyptian Magicians Duplicated Plagues
The first example is found in the book of Exodus when Moses stood before Pharaoh and performed signs and wonders were performed. The sign that was performed occurred when Aaron cast his staff to the ground and it became a snake (Exodus 7:8-10). Then Pharaoh's wise men, sorcerers and magicians did the same with their "secret arts" (Exodus 7:11-13). Moses and Aaron next turned water into wine and so did the court magicians (Exodus 7:14-25). Then Moses and Aaron, as well as, the court magicians brought frogs upon the earth (Exodus 8:1-15). But after Moses and Aaron brought flies on the land, the court magicians could not (Exodus 8:16-19) and declared in verse 19,
This is the finger of God. Exodus 8:19 (NASB)
Then we are told the magicians could not duplicate Aaron's signs and wonders that caused cattle to die (Exodus 9:1-7), brought a plague of boils (Exodus 9:8-17), causing hail (Exodus 9:18-35), creating a plague of locust (Exodus 10:1-20; bring darkness on the land (Exodus 10:21-28), and causing the death of the first born (Exodus 11:1-3; 13:15-16).
It is important to notice that Egyptian court magicians could only duplicate the first three of the ten plagues. They could not heal the pharaoh's son and bring him back to life after he died. That is, the power of the court magicians was limited. They could not heal. This means Satan could not heal.
Antichrist's Fatal Wound That Was Healed
The second example is found in Revelation 13:3 where we are told that in the future the antichrist will have a "fatal wound" that will be healed.
I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast... Revelation 13:3 (NASB)
Then verses 11-14 state,
Since Satan will empower the antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:8-10), some people have claimed that these verses reveal that Satan has the power to raise the dead, including raising the antichrist. They reason this reveals Satan can also heal. But this conclusion is wrong for two simple reasons. The first reason is found in verse 3 where we are told one of his heads "as if it had been slain." Notice that verse 1 tells us the antichrist has seven heads. Obviously, the antichrist will not have seven heads. The reference to heads is not about a man's head, but seven nations. Therefore, this is not about a healing. Second, notice the word "if" in verse 3 implies that the head was not actually cut off. The world will be deceived into believing a lie. Therefore, we conclude that Revelation 13:3, 11-14 does not describe a healing miracle. So, Satan did not perform a healing.
If Satan Casts Out Satan, He Is Divided
Now we will consider the teaching from Jesus in Matthew 12:26-28. In this passage we are told that when Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees He said,
Here Jesus revealed that Satan will not cast demons out of someone who is demon possessed. Why? If he did, he would be working against himself. Why would he command one of his demons to possess someone, and then perform an exorcism to remove the demon? There are two important points to notice. First, if Satan did exorcise one of his demons, then he has accomplished nothing. Second, if he did, then it would only be an act of deception. In both cases, Satan has not healed. It is all deception. That is, Satan cannot heal. But notice that Jesus' point is that Satan will perform a healing of casting out a demon. The truth is, Satan cannot heal illness or injury.
Only God Can Heal
The final section reveals that only God can and does heal. We will start with Matthew 4:23-24 which says,
Here we are reminded that Jesus healed and cast out demons. Even when the apostles healed people, they were not the ones who actually performed their healings. Peter reminded a man that Jesus Christ, our God, performed the healing.
Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your bed." Immediately he got up. Acts 9:34 (NASB)
At the end of the gospel of John, the apostle tells us that all the signs recorded in the gospel of John were done so that we will believe Jesus is the Son of God; that is, that Jesus was and is God.
It is clear from John 10:31-33, 36 that "Son of God" and "God" are interchangeable terms. That is, John recorded the signs so that people will believe that Jesus was and is God. The point is that healing is the exclusive power of God. In summary, the gospels teach that Jesus Christ could and did heal people and cast out demons.
This conclusion is supported by many Old Testament verses. One of them is Deuteronomy 32:39. In this passage, God is speaking.
See now that I, I am He,
And there is no god besides Me;
It is I who put to death and give life.
I have wounded and it is I who heal,
And there is no one who can deliver from My hand.
Deuteronomy 32:39
God says He puts to death and gives life. It is He who wounds and heals. That is, no one else other than God can heal. Job says,
For He inflicts pain, and gives relief;
He wounds, and His hands also heal.
Job 5:18 (NASB)
A familiar passage is,
Who pardons all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases;
Psalm 103:3 (NASB)
The last verse declares that God is our healer. No one else is our healer.
I, the LORD, am your healer. Exodus 15:26 (NASB)
No one else can heal. God and God alone can heal.
Can Satan fake a healing? Yes! He can only fake a healing because he cannot actually heal. Only our God can heal. The ability to heal was one of the proofs that Jesus Christ was and is our God.

Town Analyses > Jericho > Physical Landscape
There are 78 different types of soil identified within the Jericho borders, a product of the area's dynamic glacial past. Distinguishing one soil from another is the product of several factors, including the type of bedrock underlying all other deposits, the surficial material coating the bedrock, the steepness of slope on which the soil lies, the climate or microclimate that determines the rate of decomposition, the size of soil particles, and the mineral composition of the soil itself.
Why do we bother dividing soils into different types? Soil structure often dictates what types of vegetation will grow naturally on a landscape, and human activities and land use practices are often more suitable on one type of soil over another. Farming, for example, is most productive on soils with relatively high clay content that has mixed with sand for better drainage. Also, it tends to be level and free of many rocks. Although most of Vermont was cleared for farming at some point in the state's history, we can actually see a relationship between soil type and date of farm abandonment, where the prime soils are most likely to remain farms even today. Most of the prime soils are located along river floodplains, where clay was once deposited when the land was covered by a lake, but where sand has more recently been mixed with the clays. Upland farms, with soils derived from rocky glacial till, were often the first to be abandoned.
Certain trees and vegetation may also grow better in one soil than another, which eventually leads to animal habitat also partially corresponding to soil type.
