text: The proposed Union Pacific Red Rock Classification Yard will be predominantly placed on already developed land. In the map below you will notice that the vast majority of the proposed Classification Yard and industrial park area is in existing farm land. Farmland poses more hazards to desert wildlife through pesticides, fertilizers and run-off. Compared to the land's historical use as farmland, the Classification Yard will actually reduce chemical hazards to wildlife. The Classification Yard will not be displacing wildlife or introducing foreign chemicals into the environment in the same way agricultural fields would.

When the Republican National Convention rolled into town last year, some places closed their doors, while others became exclusive; if you didn't know someone important, you weren't getting in. During that brief period, the Weisman Art Museum did the opposite: It kicked it up a notch. During the RNC, the museum hosted a variety of activities associated with Unconvention, a movement that organized activities during the RNC and encouraged people to explore their political beliefs, voice concerns, and celebrate our country in a less corporate way. There was the "Hindsight Is Always 20/20" exhibit, a fascinating look at the buzzwords used during each presidency. There was the Unconvention circus party, a nonpartisan day of presidential speech readings, lectures, open discussion, film screenings, and stilt walkers. The evening concluded with student films projected on the side of the Weisman's iconic walls. And art of note wasn't confined to the political. This year's "Changing Identity" was a groundbreaking show featuring work by female Vietnamese artists, the first exhibit of its kind anywhere.

Up next is a new approach on making a polar bear simple enough for everyone to create on your own. This tutorial is going to be just what you need when you want to have fun with your friends as you think of what you can do for an activity. Since a lot of the members that come to Dragoart are novice artist, I'm trying to make tutorials that can accommodate both new and intermediate skills. The best thing about learning from a simple lesson, is the fact that you can get a general idea on how to draw a specific animal, person, object, or even deigns like tattoos and such. With this submission you will learn the basics when it comes to teaching yourself "how to draw a polar bear for kids", step by step. With my new technique of making animals for kids, I'm actually cutting down on the amount of steps involved when it comes to turning drawings into tutorials. The polar bear is a popular attraction when visiting an aquarium or zoo. This was one of my favorite animals to watch through the big, thick looking glass at Roger Williams Park Zoo. Of course that was some time ago and to tell you the truth I don't even know if the polar bear is still there. Anyways, have fun drawing a polar bear for kids, I will come back soon because I do still have more lessons on the way.

R. Das and S. Winter, "A Neuro-Fuzzy based Hybrid Intelligent Framework for Transport Mode Detection," in Proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Mobile Entity
Localization, Tracking and Analysis (MELT), 2016.
Understanding transport mode detection, is important to transport planning and movement behavior analysis. In order to detect the transport modalities from GPS trajectories, various machine learning approaches have already been explored. However, the majority of them produce only a single conclusion from a given set of evidences, ignoring the uncertainty of any mode classication. Also, the existing machine learning approaches fall short in explaining their reasoning scheme. In contrast, a fuzzy expert system can explain its reasoning scheme in a human readable format with more exibility, but lacks the adaptivity and learning ability of machine learning. In this paper, a novel multi-layered hybrid intelligent framework is developed by integrating a fuzzy logic and a machine learning approach to complement each other's limitations. Thus in this paper an intelligent fuzzy logic-based near-real time mode detection framework is presented that can perform comparable to state-of-the-art machine learning approaches by bridging the trade-off between explanatory power and prediction accuracy of the models. The results demonstrate that the proposed framework has achieved the aim in the context of near-real time transport mode detection.

Researcher at Duke-NUS Medical School
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak in December 2019, a substantial body of COVID-19 medical literature has been generated. As of May 2020, gaps in the existing literature remain unidentified and, hence, unaddressed. In this paper, we summarise the medical literature on COVID-19 between 1 January and 24 March 2020 using evidence maps and bibliometric analysis in order to systematically identify gaps and propose areas for valuable future research. The examined COVID-19 medical literature originated primarily from Asia and focussed mainly on clinical features and diagnosis of the disease. Many areas of potential research remain underexplored, such as mental health research, the use of novel technologies and artificial intelligence, research on the pathophysiology of COVID-19 within different body systems, and research on indirect effects of COVID-19 on the care of non-COVID-19 patients. Research collaboration at the international level was limited although improvements may aid global containment efforts.


DCC Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse
So what is the meaning of DCC. DCC stands for Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse and is a function thar can be used to make a mathematical checksum of the e-mail. This checksum is sent to participants in DCC. If a e-mail/checksum has been seen enough times on the network then it can be classified as a spam e-mail.
A checksum is a mathematical formula that can take a text and make it to for example a 128 bits string. So for example the Moby Dick book will be calculated down to a 128 bit string. If one character in Moby Dick is changed then the checksum will not be the same checksum as before.

Culverts can act as barriers to fish passage for a number of reasons, including insufficient water depth or excess velocity. In addition, concern is being raised over behavioral barriers where culvert conditions elicit an avoidance response that deters or slows fish movement. Long culverts can block sunlight, creating a potential behavioral barrier as fish approach a long, dark culvert. Scant information exists on low light as a potential barrier to fish passage, particularly with warm water species such as the federally endangered Topeka Shiner. As some older culverts are being replaced with longer total lengths to improve safety by extending the culvert through reengineered road embankments, information is needed to 1) determine when and if light mitigation strategies are necessary, and 2) design appropriate light mitigation strategies, if necessary. Based on literature review, field monitoring, and laboratory experiments, the effect of light on fish passage for Topeka Shiner and other small prairie stream fish was indiscernible. Therefore, no light mitigation for large box culverts (up to 150 feet in length) can be recommended for similar fish communities. Culverts that are very long or have very small openings may benefit from additional light.

A Relation Taxonomy Creation Module
C.R. Kothari and D.J. Russomanno (USA)
Semantic Web, Ontologies, Relations, Taxonomies
This paper describes the functionality and architecture of the Relation Taxonomy Module (RTM). RTM taxonomically arranges ontology specific relations using relation element values, which describe their intrinsic nature. RTM works in collaboration with the Relation Semantics Prototype (RSEP), which interactively elicits values for relation elements from knowledge providers to describe relations defined within ontologies. RTM generates the relation taxonomies using a technique that is analogous in some ways to using attributes of objects to arrange them taxonomically via the attribute exploration method. Ontology specific relation taxonomies may facilitate knowledge reuse and interoperability on a distributed environment such as the Semantic Web. The functionality and design of the RTM and the results from testing this prototype with a few ontologies are presented and analyzed in this paper.

Costoluto Genovese Tomato
From Thomas Jefferson Encyclopedia
Common Name: Costoluto Genovese Tomato
Scientific Name: Lycopersicon lycopersicum cv
Description: Tender garden vegetable; Flattened, deeply lobed and scalloped, bright rich red fruits; Soft in texture, juicy and slightly tart
Size: Indeterminate vines; space caged plants 24 to 36 inches apart
Cultural Information: Prefers rich, sweet garden loam and full sun
Historical Notes: The Costoluto Genovese tomato is an Italian heirloom tomato variety. Its heavily lobed and often convoluted shape is indicative of early nineteenth century tomato varieties, but makes an oddity in today's vegetable garden. The Costoluto Genovese's stellar flavor is intense and acidic. Because of its odd shape, this tomato is best for sauces and pastes where the skin is removed.

I would like to ask if anybody knows any result on the least number of edges the maximum simple cycle of connected cubic bridgeless graphs, must have. Thanks

1 Answer 1
up vote 5 down vote accepted
So you are looking for the circumference of a connected cubic bridgeless graph $G$. Since a bridgeless cubic graph is immediately 2-connected, Bondy and Entringer showed in the paper
Longest cycles in 2-connected graphs with prescribed maximum degree, Canadian Journal of Mathematics, 1980,
that $G$ contains a cycle of length at least $4 (\log_2 n - \log_2\log_2 n - 5)$. And a graph which meets the bound is provided in the result Über längste Kreise in regulären Graphen by Lang and Walther, so this is the best possible.
For the reference, see Longest cycles in 3-connected cubic graphs by Bill Jackson. If the graph is 3-connected, then the bound can be improved to $\Omega(n^c)$ with $c\approx 0.69$, and there are efficient algorithm approximately finding a long cycle in $G$.

Hsien-Chih the bound you provide is negative for n<256, so for most practical graphs – N27 Jan 10 '11 at 3:12
_USER_: Oops so you need a bound for small size graphs. Maybe you can put the requirement in your question, and there may be someone who knows the answer. (I have no idea what the bound is when the graph is small, it seems like the result above is for sufficiently large n.) – Hsien-Chih Chang 張顯之 Jan 10 '11 at 3:29
_USER_-Chih There is something wrong with this bound obviously, since for 100,000 vertices it gives a cycle of length 30. Maybe they refer to something else in their publication. However, this problem doesn't seem trivial. – N27 Jan 10 '11 at 3:33
_USER_: I'm not sure if the bound is wrong. There are cubic bridgeless graphs with a large number of nodes with small maximum cycle. Take this graph for example. (This graph may not meet our bound, but it gives intuition.) – Hsien-Chih Chang 張顯之 Jan 10 '11 at 3:50
@ Hsien-Chih Chang, actually I learned what I wanted from the example of Dr. Eppstein, since what I needed was a counterexample of a cubic bridgeless graph with a max simple cycle of less than n/2 vertices. – N27 Jan 12 '11 at 5:31

Making the Most of GACE Study Guide Books
The final hurdle to jump on the path to becoming a teacher in Georgia is passing the Georgia Assessment for the Certification of Educators (GACE) exam. Everyone from the 20 year teaching vet moving states to the new college graduate has to have a plan for passing the exam. The GACE is different than other state certification tests, and since it costs a pretty penny to take, it seems worth it for test takers to invest in a high quality study guide book.
Unfortunately, there are many GACE study guides on the market that over promise and under deliver when it comes to helping you pass the GACE. The same can be said for the GACE practice tests inside those prep books.
This article will help you make the most of your studying and avoid making a costly mistake with your precious time and money. We analyzed real reviews from websites like Amazon to give you practical advice about GACE study guide books. Our research found that study guide books had content and practice materials that were not on the test and despite the money spent did not help test takers pass the exam.
Reviews of the most popular study guides made the point that there wasn't much guiding going on inside of the pages because the authors did not include enough examples or descriptions for how to solve test questions. The GACE book often had pages and pages of content that was disorganized without basic parts such as an index or glossary. How do publishers get away with producing such a poor product? After all, why pay money for something you can do better yourself?
Problem #1: The GACE Study Guide Format And Content Does Not Match Real Test.
The GACE prep books on the market are a joke. They are mass produced by publishers who spend more time writing their product descriptions than they do their study guide materials. It is truly sad that people using these study guides eventually failed their GACE exams even though they put the time, effort, and money into their preparation because the format and content of the study guide did not match the actual test.
It is a major problem when a GACE guide book includes topics that are not listed in the GACE test framework and leaves out ones that are. You could know the study guide like the back of your hand yet walk into the test and feel like you knew nothing. What a waste of time and money! Thankfully, you can download a free study companion from the official GACE website to start your studying on the right foot.
The free study companion gives you a breakdown of the proportion of each objective on the test. This is critical information to begin your studying with because you cannot rely on the content in the study guide books to accurately represent how the GACE exam will be tested. It is up to you to learn what objectives are most likely to be represented on the test and prioritize your studying in proportion of how often they will appear in the exam.
One way to familiarize and learn the format and structure of the test using the free study companion is to mind map the content areas and objectives. A mind map is a visual representation of dumping the knowledge you already have into a format that is easy for the brain to remember.
For example, if you are studying for the high school mathematics test you can begin with writing Subarea 1 – Number and Quantity 30% with a circle around it to represent how frequently you can expect this concept to show up on the exam. Then draw wavy lines from the center to the outer edges of the page and summarize each objective in your own words. Then attach another wavy line from the objective to tell yourself where you can access resources for this topic (e.g. college notes, khan academy, YouTube).
By the end of this mind mapping process you will have familiarized yourself with the content and structure of the course and built an outline of how to study for the exam.
Problem #2: The GACE Prep Guide Does Not Have Sample Questions.
How can a GACE study guides claim to help you pass an exam and have no worked examples to follow? The biggest sin a study guide can make is to only give examples of topics with the answers but then absolutely no work-out to provide direction as to how they arrived at the given answer. It's as if the authors expect you to memorize the question and answer because it is verbatim from the GACE. Most guides fail to give you all of the steps and assume you will know how they got to the answer, but if you are just learning or relearning these concepts, seeing all of the steps is vital.
If you can't rely on expensive GACE test preparation material, then where else can you turn for step-by-step help on questions likely to asked on the GACE test? New technologies such as _URL_, a computational intelligence platform allow users like you to ask a question and receive solutions that include step-by-step details. You can register as a free user and ask a range of questions from math to art and from physics to history.
Leveraging technology is another way to triangulate questions and answers so that you have confidence that what you are learning will help you pass the GACE exam. Test out the process by checking the answer to a question you already know, so that you can become familiar with the style of the output.
Problem #3: GACE Preparation Materials Are Too Wordy And Lack Basic Organization Like A Glossary Or Index.
GACE study guides try and justify their expensive prices by adding way more info in the book than what you will actually be tested on. In fact, some do not have much of anything in their guides that is actually on the test, and others read like summary notes of random subject knowledge. Even though you can't trust the study guide authors to craft an organized companion to the GACE test, by following these four steps, you can create your own personalized study guide.
STEP 1: Take the free practice test in the GACE study companion. You can download a copy from the official GACE website.
STEP 2: Rate each question on a scale of 1 to 3, 1 being easy, 2 being somewhat difficult, and 3 being difficult.
STEP 3: Create a table from the GACE objectives. Make each line represent an objective. Then re-read the practice test questions and categorize them into the table according to the objective you think it best belongs to. This process will go a long way towards helping you understand exactly what you will be tested on.
STEP 4: Look at the table and find the objectives with the most questions you rated as 2 – somewhat difficult and 3 – difficult. Start your test preparation by focusing on these objectives first.

X3D Reference
Accessing the External Browser
Accessing the External Browser
X_ITE is designed to provide access to the internal X3D browser and its contained scene graph via JavaScript, either within an internal X3D Script node or an external HTML script.
If you want combine DOM access with X3D access in your JavaScript functions then you probably want to access the external browser object if you want include an external JavaScript file in your HTML page and you don't wanna do it directly a in Script node.
There is the X3D object which is always available, it expects at least one function handler that is called when the browsers ( elements) are ready, or the second function handler is called if an error occurred.
The callback function is called when the browser is available. The callback function takes no arguments. The error callback is called if an error occurred, it has one argument error.
The external browser can be accessed by calling the X3D.getBrowser(selector) function, selector can be any CSS selector:
If something went wrong, the error callback is called:
X3D Object
X3D noConflict ()
In X_ITE's case, the X3D function object is the main entry function. If you need to use another JavaScript library alongside X_ITE, return control of the X3D function object back to the other library with a call to X3D.noConflict (). Old references of X3D function object are saved during X_ITE initialization; X3D.noConflict () simply restores them. The return value is the X3D function object itself.
If for some reason two versions of X_ITE are loaded (which is not recommended), calling X3D.noConflict () from the second version will return the globally scoped X3D object to those of the first version.
The following services can be used to establish a session and obtain the X3DBrowser object.
X3DBrowser getBrowser ([selector : String])
The selector argument must be a string containing a valid CSS selector expression to match elements against. If no selector was given, »X3DCanvas« is used as selector string. The return value is the appropriate X3DBrowser object.
X3DBrowser getBrowser (element : Object)
Given a DOM element that represents a X3DCanvas element, the getBrowser function returns the appropriate X3DBrowser object.
Object createBrowser ()
Creates a new X3DCanvas DOM element, initializes it and returns it. Throws an exception if the browser object cannot be created.
The X3D object has several properties, you can use any of the properties below.
The X3DConstants object defines values that can be useful for scripting.
All X3DFields (SFColor,..., MFBool, MFColor, and so on). The fields can be created using the object as construtor. Note: Scalar objects like SFBool, SFDouble, SFFloat, SFInt32, SFString, and SFTime have no constructor, just use the built-in JavaScript types Boolean, Number, and String.
Function Reference
A complete function reference for the X3DBrowser object and all other X3D JavaScript objects can be found here.
View scene in new window.
Adding HTML controls to your scene is no rocket science. We have added some HTML buttons below the X3DCanvas, which on click call a callback function.
The init function is called when the scene is loaded and installs a field callback that is called when the models are clicked. The various callback functions first obtains the different nodes and then alter a field of the nodes.
The scene defines different named nodes with the »DEF« attribute, which can be accessed later. Download adrenaline.x3d.

Children disappointed as teacher pulls down blinds to stop them being distracted by snow during lesson at Stalham Academy near Great Yarmouth
Children at Stalham Academy, near Great Yarmouth, were banned from looking at snow Photo: Andrew Crowley
By Agency
A primary school has been criticised by parents after pupils aged eight and nine were banned from watching snow outside their classroom window.
Children were left disappointed after their teacher pulled down blinds to stop them being distracted by snow during a lesson.
Parents also claimed that pupils were stopped from touching the snow when they arrived at Stalham Academy near Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.
Charlotte Marsters, 39, said her nine-year-old daughter had been excited by last Monday's snowfall and was very disappointed when the blinds were closed.
She said: "It was so dark they had to put the lights on. They were stuck in all day as they weren't allowed to play in the snow - and there was only about 1cm."
Ms Masters said children had been "marshalled" into classrooms as snow fell and were stopped from even bending to touch it.
She claimed one boy was told off after he took a small amount of snow from a wall with a gloved hand.
Mother-of-six Shelly Betts, whose eight-year-old daughter Bethany is a pupil, said: "When she told me they'd shut the blinds I couldn't believe it - I was very upset.
"They're only little, and they only stay children for a short time. They could have turned the snow it into a science lesson instead of banning them from seeing it. By the time they came out of school it was all gone.
"I don't want it to end up with my children only knowing about snow from Christmas cards."
Julie Hollins, 30, who has an eight-year-old son at the school, said: "Stopping them from even seeing it fall is like a slap in the face for little children."
Valerie Moore, chief executive of the Rightforsuccess Academy Trust which runs the school, did not respond to a request for comment.
However, a message posted on the Facebook page said: "We acknowledge that snow is an unusual and exciting occurrence for everyone, especially children.
"The academy's playgrounds were extremely icy so it was felt that in the interest of safety and in line with our risk assessment under health and safety, that children were brought inside at the start of the day.
"The phrase'marshalling' is not accurate to describe a notice board asking children to go inside, nor is it accurate in regards to the manner that children are brought into the Academy.
"Over the course of the day the ice had not cleared by break time on the Monday and sleet and snow showers prevented outdoor play at lunchtime.
"Having discussed the matter with the class teacher in question, she noted that the heavy snow fall was having an impact upon the learning of the children during one of her lessons so the blinds were closed to ensure that children focussed on their tasks in hand."
The school made headlines before Christmas when Stalham curate, the Rev Margaret McPhee, announced that father Christmas was not real during a school carol service, leaving some pupils upset. She later apologised.


Science tries to explain why you love Apple (and hate Microsoft)
Next Story
Why do people who love Apple hate Microsoft? Conversely, why do people who love Microsoft hate Apple? Science, that wonderful abstraction, may have an answer.
A professor at the University College London, Semir Zeki, has proposed the following: love is a blind emotion while hate takes conscious effort to produce.
Think of it in romantic terms: Why do you find that girl or guy attractive? You just sorta do; it's hard to explain. But, why do you hate that girl or guy? I'm sure you have a laundry list of reasons.
We can apply the same logic to Apple/Microsoft. It's a lot easier to explain why you hate Apple or Microsoft, but try explaining why you like Apple or Microsoft. "I don't know, I just do." Indeed.
I don't know, it gets pretty cerebral pretty quickly. Y'all would be better served (and certainly better entertained) playing Fable II.

Acting for impaired Railroad Retirement beneficiaries
Posted By rob On February 12, 2013 @ 2:54 pm In Alumni Association News,Amtrak/Commuter News,Recent Updates | Comments Disabled
According to Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) policy, every annuitant has the right to manage his or her own benefits. However, when physical or mental impairments make a railroad retirement annuitant incapable of properly handling benefit payments, or where the RRB determines that the interests of the annuitant so require, the agency can appoint a representative payee to act on the annuitant's behalf.
A representative payee may be either a person or an organization selected by the RRB to receive benefits on behalf of an annuitant.
The following questions and answers provide information for family members, or others, who may have to act on behalf of an annuitant.
1. Does the RRB have legal authority to appoint a representative payee for an annuitant?
The Railroad Retirement Act gives the RRB authority to determine whether direct payment of benefits, or payment to a representative payee, will best serve an annuitant's interest. The RRB can appoint a representative payee regardless of whether there has been a legal finding of incompetence or commitment and, depending on the circumstances in a particular case, the RRB can select someone other than the individual's legal representative to be the representative payee.
2. What if a person has been given power of attorney by a beneficiary?
Power of attorney is a legal process where one person grants another the authority to transact certain business on his or her behalf; but the RRB, like the Social Security Administration, does not recognize power of attorney for purposes of managing benefit payments for a beneficiary. For this purpose, the RRB uses the position of representative payee.
3. Why doesn't the RRB recognize power of attorney?
The Railroad Retirement Act protects a person's right to receive benefits directly and to use them as he or she sees fit by prohibiting the assignment of benefits. Power of attorney creates an assignment-like situation that is contrary to the protections given by this law. The Act likewise gives the RRB exclusive jurisdiction in determining whether to appoint a representative payee for an annuitant. If the RRB recognized power of attorney, it would be deferring to a designation made by someone outside of the agency and would, in effect, be abdicating its responsibility to the annuitant.
Also, events often occur which may affect an annuitant's eligibility for benefits. The responsibility for reporting these events to the RRB is placed, by law, directly on the annuitant or the annuitant's representative payee. When benefits are accepted, the annuitant or his or her payee attests to a continued eligibility for such benefits. And if payments are misused, they can be recouped from the payee. This is not true with power of attorney.
4. How are these representative payees selected?
Generally, the RRB's local field offices determine the need for a representative payee and interview potential payees. The field office also advises the payee of his or her duties, monitors the payee, investigates any allegations of misuse of funds, and changes the method of payment, or the payee, when appropriate.
The RRB provides 15 days' advance notice to an annuitant of its intent to appoint a representative payee, and the name of the payee, in order to allow the annuitant a period of time in which to contest the appointment.
5. What are the primary duties and responsibilities of a representative payee?
The payee must give first consideration to the annuitant's day-to-day needs. This includes paying for food, shelter, clothing, medical care and miscellaneous personal needs. Beyond day-to-day needs, railroad retirement benefits may be used for other expenses.
The payee is also responsible for reporting events to the RRB that affect the individual's annuity, and is required to account for the funds received on behalf of the annuitant.
In addition, since railroad retirement benefits are subject to Federal income tax, a representative payee is responsible for delivering the benefit information statements issued each year by the RRB to the person handling the annuitant's tax matters.
Periodically, the payee will be asked to complete a report which includes questions regarding how much of the railroad retirement benefits available during the year were used for the support of the beneficiary, how much of the benefits were saved, and how the savings were invested. In order to complete the questionnaire correctly, a payee must keep current records of the railroad retirement benefits received and how the benefits were used. The records should be retained for four years.
6. What are a representative payee's primary responsibilities for an annuitant's Medicare coverage?
When an annuitant requires covered medical services, the payee must have the annuitant's Medicare card available. The payee must also keep records of the services received and the expenses incurred or paid, just as for any other usage of railroad retirement benefits.
7. What if an annuitant is confined to an institution?
When annuitants are in a nursing home, hospital or other institution, their railroad retirement benefit payments should be used to meet the charges for their current maintenance. Current maintenance includes the usual charges the institution makes for providing care and services.
The payee should use the benefit payments to aid in the annuitant's possible recovery or release from the institution, or to improve his or her living conditions while confined. Payments may be used to provide such items as clothing, personal grooming supplies, transportation of relatives to visit the patient, trial visits to relatives, medical and dental care, and reading materials and hobby supplies.
8. How should railroad retirement benefits not immediately required to meet an annuitant's needs be handled?
Benefit payments which will not be needed in the near future must be saved or invested unless they are needed for the support of the annuitant's legally dependent spouse or child, or to pay creditors under certain circumstances. It is recommended that conserved funds be held in interest-bearing accounts. Preferred investments are Federally-insured or State-insured accounts at financial institutions and obligations of, or those backed by, the Federal Government, such as U.S. Savings Bonds.
Funds should not be kept in the home, where they may be lost or stolen, nor can they be mingled with the payee's own funds or other funds.
9. How can a person get more information about being appointed as a representative payee, or whether the use of railroad retirement benefits for a particular purpose would be proper?
More information is available by visiting the agency's website, _URL_, or by calling an RRB office toll-free at _PHONE_. Persons can find the address of the RRB office servicing their area by calling the RRB's toll-free number or at _URL_.

Harmonic growth on groups and stationary random graphs
Ariel Yadin, Ben Gurion University
13/05/2012 - 17:00
We study the structure of harmonic functions on certain homogeneous graphs: Cayley graphs, and stationary random graphs which are homogeneous "on average". Harmonic functions have been used to understand the geometry of these objects. Two notable examples are: Kleiner's proof of Gromov's theorem regarding polynomial volume growth groups, and the invariance principle (CLT) for super-critical percolation clusters on Z^d.
We consider the following question: What is the minimal growth of a non-constant harmonic function on a graph G (as above)?
This question is of course closely related to the Liouville property and Poisson-Furstenberg boundary; a non-Liouville graph just means that there exist _bounded_ non-constant harmonic functions. A classical result of Kaimanovich & Vershik relates the Liouville property on groups to sublinear entropy of the random walk.
We show a simple but very useful inequality regarding harmonic functions and entropy on a group. This inequality allows us to deduce many results rather simply, among them:
1. A quantified version of one direction of Kaimanovich & Vershik
2. Groups (and stationary graphs) of polynomial growth have no sub-linear non-constant harmonic functions.
3. Uniqueness of the "corrector" for super-critical percolation on Z^d.
All notions will be defined during the talk.

Cows have regional accents, experts confirm
Major bovine linguistic breakthrough
In a major breakthrough in bovine linguistic research, experts have confirmed that cows moo with accents distinct to their herd, the BBC reports.
John Wells, professor of Phonetics at the University of London, examined West Country farmers' claims that their beasts were mooing with a local twang.
Lloyd Green of Glastonbury said: "I spend a lot of time with my ones and they definitely moo with a Somerset drawl. I've spoken to the other farmers in the West Country group and they have noticed a similar development in their own herds. It works the same as with dogs - the closer a farmer's bond is with his animals, the easier it is for them to pick up his accent."
Professor Wells confirmed Green's observations, explaining: "This phenomenon is well attested in birds. You find distinct chirping accents in the same species around the country. In small populations such as herds you would encounter identifiable dialectical variations which are most affected by the immediate peer group."
Linguistics expert Dr Jeanine Treffers-Daller of University of the West of England in Bristol, ruminated: "When we are learning to speak, we adopt a local variety of language spoken by our parents, so the same could be said about the variation in the West Country cow moo."
The latest findings will do much to expand our understanding of the bovine world, which has in the last couple of years been enhanced by the revelations that cows enjoy a bit of girl-on-girl and bear grudges. ®

Trust transfer is a promising perspective on prevalent discussions about trust in AI-capable technologies. However, the convergence of AI with other technologies challenges existing theoretical assumptions. First, it remains unanswered whether both trust in AI and the base technology is necessary for trust transfer. Second, a nuanced view on trust sources is needed, considering the dual role of trust. To address these issues, we examine whether trust in providers and trust in technologies are necessary trust conditions. We conducted a survey with 432 participants in the context of autonomous vehicles and applied necessary condition analysis. Our results indicate that trust in AI technology and vehicle technology are necessary sources. In contrast, only vehicle providers represent a necessary source. We contribute to research by providing a novel perspective on trust in AI, applying a promising data analysis method to reveal necessary trust sources, and consider duality of trust in trust transfer.

Performance Analysis of AODV Routing Protocol in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network Service Discovery Architecture
VANET is the special type of MANET (Mobile Ad hoc NETworks) where the mobile nodes are vehicles that move on roads at very high speed following traffic rules; they provide communication between Vehicle and Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle and Road side Infrastructural unit (V 2 I). This paper explores the possibility of using VANET in inter vehicular communication. An attempt has been made earlier to create a new cluster model for efficient communication among the VANET nodes by the author. A new clustering model has been created after taking the simple highway vehicular model concept into consideration.

EMBO Practical Course — Methods for analysis of circular RNAs: No tautology
Circular RNAs (CircRNAs) are a rediscovered class of RNA species that originate from back-splicing events, which have been reported across all domains of life. Many circular RNAs are stable, abundant and conserved between species. They exhibit context-dependent expression patterns, which are often linked to disease states. Validated circular RNA functions are numerous and range from regulation of transcription and splicing to RNA/protein sponging and scaffolding. However, CircRNAs are by and large the most underexplored class of all non-coding RNAs. This course will meet the specific need to explore complexity, distribution, function and mechanisms of circRNA action experimentally and computationally.
The presented methods and approaches are widely applicable to all organisms beyond standard models. The practical part will include detection and quantification of circRNAs by lowand high-throughput methods, troubleshooting, data analysis and integration as well as computational assessment of circRNA candidates and function prediction.

Tolerance for Disagreement Scale (TFD)
The tolerance for disagreement scale is designed to measure the degree to which an individual can tolerate other people disagreeing with what the individual believes to
be true. This conceptualization is similar to that of argumentativeness. People with high argumentativeness are likely to be able to deal with more disagreement than
those people who are low in argumentativeness. It is believed that conflict in interpersonal communication is in large part (in conjunction with the level of liking between
the people) a function of the tolerance of disagreement of the interactants. Alpha reliability estimates for the TFD scale can be expected to be in the neighborhood of.85.
Instructions: This questionnaire involves people's feelings and orientations. Hence, there are no right or wrong answers. We just want you to indicate your reaction to each item. All responses are to reflect the degree to which you believe the item applies to you. Please use the following system to indicate the degree to which you agree that the item describes you:
5 = Strongly Agree, 4 = Agree, 3 = Undecided, 2 = Disagree, 1 = Strongly Disagree
___ 1. It is more fun to be involved in a discussion where there is a lot of disagreement.
___ 2. I enjoy talking to people with points of view different than mine.
___ 3. I don't like to be in situations where people are in disagreement.
___ 4. I prefer being in groups where everyone's beliefs are the same as mine.
___ 5. Disagreements are generally helpful.
___ 6. I prefer to change the topic of discussion when disagreement occurs.
___ 7. I tend to create disagreements in conversations because it serves a useful purpose.
___ 8. I enjoy arguing with other people about things on which we disagree.
___ 9. I would prefer to work independently rather than to work with other people and have disagreements.
___10. I would prefer joining a group where no disagreements occur.
___11. I don't like to disagree with other people.
___12. Given a choice, I would leave a conversation rather than continue a disagreement.
___13. I avoid talking with people who I think will disagree with me.
___14. I enjoy disagreeing with others.

Members can add personal information about their living family members, however:
- You must not share information regarding a living person without that person's explicit permission.
- You must not share information about a living child under 16 without parental consent.
- You must not share any information about a living child under 13 unless you are their parent and legal guardian. Even profiles of children created by parents should be considered placeholders only and not contain any sensitive information.
- You must not share any information about DNA tests for other living people.
So, I guess it comes down to what it means to "share" information about a living person. Is posting a profile of a living person "sharing" information about that person? To post the profile of a living person, nowadays, you often have to enter an estimated birth date. Is that considered sharing? I'm looking for some clarity here.
Does it mean that I can't add someone to the trusted list of a living person without the permission of the person of whom the profile is written? Does it mean I can't send the info to someone else in e-mail?

Apparel manufacturers inspect the fabric stock upon arrival, so that any fabric irregularities are caught early in the production process. Textile producers also generally inspect fabrics before sending them to manufacturers.
General Inspection Procedures
- Fabric inspection is done in suitable and safe environment with enough ventilation and proper lighting.
- Fabric passing through the frame must be between 45-60 degree angles to inspector and must be done on appropriate Cool White light 2 F96 fluorescent bulbs above viewing area. Back light can be used as and when needed.
- Fabric speed on inspection machine must not be more than 15 yards per minute.
- All fabric inspection must be done when 80% of good or lot is received.
- Standard approved bulk dye lot standards for all approved lots must be available prior to inspection.
- Approved standard of bulk dye lot must be available before starting inspection for assessing colour, hand, weight, construction, finish and visual appearance.
- Shade continuity within a roll by checking shade variation between centre and selvage and the beginning, middle and end of each roll must be evaluated and documented.
- Textiles like knits must be evaluated for weight against standard approved weight.
- Fabric width must be checked from selvage to selvage against standard.
- All defects must be flagged during inspection
- The length of each roll inspected must be compared to length as mentioned on supplier ticketed tag and any deviation must be documented and reported to mill for additional replacement to avoid shortage.
- If yard dyed or printed fabrics are being inspected the repeat measurement must be done from beginning, middle and end of selected rolls.
Why is fabric inspection important?
Fabric Inspection is an important aspect followed prior to garment manufacturing to avoid rejects due to fabric quality and facing with unexpected loss in manufacturing. Fabric inspection is done for fault/defect rate, fabric construction, fabric weight, shrinkage, end to end or edge to edge shading, colour, hand feel, length/width, print defect and appearance. Fabric inspection ensures to minimize the rejection of cut panels or rejected garments due to fabric faults. Cutting inspected and approved fabric ensures not only finished garment quality but also reduce rejects, improves efficiency and timely deliveries.

Broken surround loudspeaker replacement get
In General, you should replace a defective bead. In the Internet you can find numerous providers for speaker parts. In order for the surround to fit but also, you need to consider a few things.
- The size alone is not decisive. The beading also needs to match your loudspeaker model.
- There are beads made of foam and rubber. The latter have a slightly longer lifespan. In General, you should choose the Material that was previously used in your speakers.
Speaker surround repair - how it works
You have found the right bead, you can get started.
- First loosen the screws on the speaker to the chassis.
- Next, remove the trim ring.
- Now you can remove the beading. Scrape off the bead remains carefully from the speaker Chassis. For this purpose, a sharp carpet knife is best.
- Even after a thorough Scraping off glue remnants are surely present. You remove these with petrol and a brush.
- Also from the diaphragm, you need to scrape off the beading remains.
- Everything is clean, coat the membrane edge with glue. Let the glue a bit to dry, before you go any further.
- Now place the bead on the diaphragm edge and center bead. Fix it then with brackets.
- Turn to conclude, the beading between the brackets to the top and brush the top of the Chassis with glue.
- The adhesive needs about an hour to dry out.
There are other reasons why speakers do not sound clean. Crackling speakers, for example, read in a further practical tip on what to do can.


Flint water documentary shown prior to debate
A documentary highlighting the Flint water crisis was shown at Woodside Church on Sunday prior to the evening's debate between Democratic presidential candidates.
The film follows the untold story of the activist role in exposing the lead in Flint's water, according to a participant featured in the documentary.
The Coalition for Clean Water banded together to conduct citizen testing and partnered with Marc Edwards of Virginia Tech, who helped discover the lead contamination.
The documentary talks about that process and kind of a history of Flint's switch from the Detroit water system to treating its own drinking water using the Flint River.
It also explains the role of Flint's emergency manager and the state's emergency manager law in the water crisis.

Bring Quantum into your classroom
Quantum Ambassador Programme
Inspire your students aged 16 to 19 and get them engaged in the latest developments in science and technology!
The Quantum Ambassador Programme will help teachers to lead quantum physics activities in the classroom, with the support of STEM Ambassadors. You'll be able to take students from the first quantum revolution (lasers, MRI scanners, GPS and semiconductors) up to the present day and into the future.
This exciting programme will enable post-16-year-olds to:
- engage in science and emerging technologies
- understand the scientific process
- enhance their understanding of quantum physics and technology concepts
- be signposted to relevant career pathways.
How the programme will work
The Quantum Ambassador programme will run for two years, from 2021 to 2023.
During the first year of the programme, teachers can access four specially-developed lesson modules covering Quantum Technologies in the UK. Each module is around 30 minutes long and will include links to the physics curriculum. Students can access these modules independently. Whilst taking these modules, students can generate questions that can be sent to a Quantum Ambassador. An online Q&A session will then take place with the Ambassador and students, which will also include a career-focussed chat.
During the second year of the programme, Quantum Ambassadors will be available to deliver free Quantum enrichment workshops in schools. These workshops will bring the world of Quantum to students, showcasing the work of the four Quantum Hubs in the UK and linking the science and technology involved to the curriculum. Careers will be signposted, hopefully raising awareness of the growing number of opportunities available in the Quantum field.
There's a limited number of spaces available for this exciting programme, so be sure to register your interest below. You can be involved in the programme throughout the full two years, or choose to just access the 2021 lesson modules - it's completely up to you!
Become a Quantum Ambassador
Our team of Quantum Ambassadors will be paired with a school to shed light on the world of quantum physics and quantum careers. Quantum Ambassadors are part of the STEM Ambassador programme, and activities can be arranged via the STEM website. To find out more and sign up as a Quantum Ambassador, click the link below:

Validation of the Mental Illness Sexual Stigma Questionnaire (MISS-Q) in a sample of Brazilian adults in psychiatric care
Objective: We evaluated the psychometric properties of a new instrument "Mental Illness Sexual Stigma Questionnaire" (MISS-Q).
Methods: We interviewed 641 sexually active adults (ages 18-80) attending public outpatient psychiatric clinics in Rio de Janeiro about their stigma experiences.
Results: Nine factors were extracted through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and labeled: 'individual discrimination by others';'staff willingness to talk about sexuality';'staff and family prohibitions';'sexual devaluation of self'; 'perceived attractiveness';'mental illness concealment'; 'perceived sexual role competence'; 'withdrawal'; and 'locus of social-sexual control'. 'Withdrawal' and 'locus of social-sexual control' showed poor psychometric properties and were excluded from further analysis. The remaining seven factors had high factorial loadings (.39 to.86), varying from sufficient to optimal reliability (Ordinal α ranged from.57 to.88), and good convergent and discriminant validity.
Conclusions: The resulting MISS-Q is the first instrument assessing mental illness sexual stigma with demonstrated psychometric properties. It may prove useful in reducing stigma, protecting sexual health, and promoting recovery.
Keywords: Stigma; psychometric assessment; severe mental illness; sexual and romantic relationships.

From: nCipher Support (supportnCipher.com)
Date: Mon May 13 2002 - 10:44:29 CDT
 In certain circumstances, the nCipher MSCAPI CSP Install Wizard support
 software on Windows 2000 will set the nCipher CSP key generation
 behavior incorrectly. Despite the user requesting Operator Card Set
 protection for keys ('cardset protected keys') that are generated using
 the nCipher CSP, a software error might result in keys being protected
 by the module alone.
 1. Security world
 nCipher's key management modules (nForce/nShield) are generally
 used with nCipher's suite of utilities for managing a 'security
 world'. A security world is a collection of cryptographic keys,
 smart cards, modules and associated data stored on host computers.
 A security world is designed to prevent unauthorized access to
 application keys while maintaining scalability and key availability.
 The core security world secrets are protected by Administrator Cards
 written by the initialization software and kept safe by the user.
 Application keys can either be made available to any nCipher module
 appropriately programmed with the user's Administrator Cards (module
 protected keys) or they can be protected by further smart cards known as
 Operator Cards that provide an additional layer of security.
 2. The nCipher CSP
 If the CSP is set up to use module-protected keys, when applications
 tell the CSP to create a key, it needs no input from the user. If the
 CSP is set up to use Operator Cards and is told to create a key, it
 first looks to see if there are any cards which it can load
 automatically, and uses those if any are present. If not, it prompts
 the user to choose which Operator Card Set to use.
 1. Cause
 The Install Wizard for the nCipher CSP support software on Windows 2000
 offers a check box for controlling whether a key to be generated is
 module protected or to be additionally protected by an Operator Card
 When the Install Wizard is used to create an Operator Card Set then the
 nCipher CSP key generation behaves as requested by the user.
 If cardset protection is selected from the Install Wizard but a new
 Operator Card Set is *not* created, the wizard incorrectly sets the
 nCipher CSPs up to use module protection for all keys that they
 subsequently create.
 2. Impact
 If the user is affected by this issue, any application key generated
 by the nCipher CSP will be incorrectly protected by the module alone,
 rather than by a combination of operator card set and module.
 This means that an attacker, who gains control of any nCipher module,
 has been programmed into the key's security world can gain unauthorized
 access to this key, since no further smart card authorization is
 3. Who May Be Affected
 This problem only affects keys that have been generated by the nCipher
 CSP after the Install Wizard from CD version 5.50 has been run.
 The problem does not affect keys that were
 * generated by any software other than the nCipher CSP, or
 * generated by the nCipher CSP using the Install Wizard from any CD
 other than version 5.50.
 4. How To Tell If You Are Affected
 To find out whether you're affected, run 'c:\nfast\bin\csputils.exe -d'
 from the command line. This will give you a detailed summary of all your
 containers and information for the keys they contain.
 Each key (key exchange and/or signature) will have a description
 including whether or not it was generated by the nCipher CSP, its hash,
 and its protection method.
 A cardset protected key (here stored in a container called 'expimptst')
 will have an entry like the following (lines have been truncated for
 Detailed report for container ID _TAG_...
 Filename: key_mscapi_container-cbfb7b11909b40ddc50da759d6...

 and a module protected key will have one like the following:
 Filename: key_mscapi_container-32a16394a3ffe52eb4db1127d8...
 Container name: james
 User name: NCIPHER\james
 CSP DLL name: ncsp.dll
 No signature key.
 Filename for key exchange key is key_mscapi_6fa4c59efefb6c01db6...
 Key was generated by the CSP
 Key hash: 6fa4c59efefb6c01db6eca9f1eadbb17158fc2a8
 Key is recoverable.
 Key is module protected.
 If you have keys unexpectedly module protected when they should be
 cardset protected you are affected by this bug.
 1. Users who have NOT already created a key with the wrong protection
 In order to force MSCAPI applications to generate cardset protected keys
 a file 'wizardfix.reg' should be created containing the following text:
 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 This file can then be run by the user to change the appropriate registry
 entry that determines the behavior of key generation using the nCipher
 Alternatively, the user can edit the registry value specified above
 directly using 'regedit'.
 The registry setting must be reset using either of the above methods
 after each invocation of the affected nCipher CSP Install Wizard.
 2. Users who have already created a key which is erroneously module
 Users who have already generated keys which were intended to be cardset
 protected, but due to this error are not, are advised to apply the above
 registry fix and generate new keys. nCipher recommends against
 converting existing module-protected keys to cardset-protected status,
 since it is extremely difficult to do this in a way that increases
 You can obtain copies of this advisory, advice on obtaining a patch kit,
 and supporting documentation from the nCipher security advisories Web

Why ZFC is placed in top of the proof system hierarchy? How it can p-simulate other systems?
share|improve this question
I really would appreciate some definition links to "proof system hierarchy" and "p-simulation". – Hans Stricker Jul 23 '11 at 15:18
_USER_ Stricker, check the Wikipedia pages for "proof complexity" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_complexity) and "propositional proof system" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propositional_proof_system). – Kaveh Aug 2 '11 at 6:19
1 Answer 1
It is an open problem if there is an optimal propositional proof system. Therefore we don't know if ZFC as a propositional proof system is optimal either.
ZFC as propositional proof system can p-simulate any propositional proof system whose soundness (if there is proof for a formula then the formula is true) as a propositional proof system is provable in ZFC. The trick (which I think is due to Steve Cook) is based on the fact that proofs are concrete finite objects, if there is a proof for a formula in a proof system, then ZFC can prove its existence (i.e. ZFC is $\Sigma_1$-complete), combining this with the provability of the soundness we derive the truth of the encoded formula in ZFC. The rest of the argument is translating this first order proof in ZFC to a propositional proof in ZFC as propositional proof system and proving the equivalence of a propositional formula with the formula itself in the proof system. This can be done in $\mathsf{TC^0}$-Frege and any system that contains it. See Logical Foundations of Proof Complexity, 2010 by Cook and Nguyen for the details.

Strictly speaking, it's the function $F$ that maps ZFC-proofs of $T$ to $T$* (where $T$ is a tautology) that is the propositional proof system, not ZFC itself. Note also that *the assertion that $F$ is a propositional proof system isn't provable in ZFC itself; you need to assume the soundness of ZFC. This is why people put ZFC at the top; conceivably, there could be "stronger" propositional proof systems $F$ that ZFC can't prove are actually propositional proof systems. But if you think that ZFC represents the outer limit of mathematical knowledge, you might have qualms about such $F$. – Timothy Chow Jul 22 '11 at 22:24
_USER_, there are two equivalent definitions for a pps, one is what you described, the other one is a proof checker program (which the one I found more natural). Yes, strictly speaking, but I didn't want to go into too much details. One can add axioms to obtains a possibly stronger pps, e.g. large cardinal axioms. Note that we don't need the full soundness, we only need a very restricted form of it. In fact, as you know :), some proof complexity theorist conjecture that EF is a plausible candidate for the optimal proof system, in which case ZFC will be just equal to it. – Kaveh Aug 2 '11 at 6:13

Cultural Heritage Day of Chile dedicated to the 40th anniversary
The 2012 edition of the Cultural Heritage Day of Chile will be celebrated in the framework of the 40th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention. In order to contribute to the worldwide celebrations of the anniversary, this year's edition focuses specifically on the relation between heritage and development, including the role of local communities in heritage preservation.
This festivity has been celebrated every last Sunday of May since the year 1999, with the objective to organize a festive day reflecting on the values, the role and the significance of Chilean cultural heritage. Activities, taking place all around the country, include opening of monuments to public, seminars and educational activities to sensitize the general public to preservation and sustainable management of cultural heritage in Chile.
Every year, this celebration counts on the participation of hundreds of volunteers. This year, the number will be extended by promoting local communities active participation through a "campaign for the common good" forming teams of young volunteers who will clean four national monuments in Santiago.
Furthermore, an expert seminar with the theme "Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development" will take place as part of the Cultural Heritage Day. Two panel discussions will be dedicated to the role of local communities in the conservation of archeological and paleontological heritage and their role in the social development of urban heritage areas.

Leveling characters through story telling
During any long enough running campaign, leveling characters usually comes up at one point or another. It's often a part players look forward to and it can be an integral part of story progression. There are different ways to go about it though. Leveling at the end of a campaign chapter, whenever the XP threshold is met or when other milestones are met, for example. But in this guide I'll go over ways and reasons to level characters through story telling. This isn't for everybody, of course, but it can make for a fun way to spice up a game for those into story telling.
From a realism point of view, leveling up characters at random points in a story doesn't make much sense. Nobody just gains new abilities out of nowhere. You could argue all the combat and time spent to get to the next level counts as training, but strictly speaking you don't master new techniques without targeted exercise and training. Shooting a hundred fireballs at random enemies doesn't exactly teach you how to conjure food from thin air, for example. If you want to go for more realism, using story elements can make more sense.
As an example, consider the following: if your party is on a strange planet battling even stranger aliens, it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense the characters gain new abilities after beating a mini boss. Instead, it'd make more sense they receive training at their base after they return. Now, instead of simply stating they train, you could include a social encounter with a trainer, or a battle encounter with a particularly brutal drill sergeant, for example.
Training can be more than just one time training sessions. Leveling up through training and story offers a whole range of opportunities for new characters. An excentric sage with endless, but peculiar wisdom might train a monk, a gun-for-hire low on cash might teach you a trick or two, a lifelong friend and teacher might be a recurring character and one you go to in times of need, and so on.
Training sessions can also strengthened the bonds with existing characters, including those in the party. New powers can lead to inflated egos or a broken confidence, if the players are willing to play their characters as such anyway, which in turn can lead to more intimate moments of getting a party member back on their feet.
New powers also leads to new combo possibilities. Training together can make the party more effective by using each other's powers in a synchronised fashion, something they would, realistically speaking, only be able to do properly after training.
If your players are into it, playing out training sessions can make a big difference in story setup. Consider the scene in the Matrix where Neo learns kung fu after having it uploaded into his mind. Playing out character training is the difference between "I know kung fu". "Show me". and "I know kung fu". "Excellent, time to move on.". The first has more build up and more character interactions, and thus more emotional investment.
Using NPCs (Non-Player Characters) in training can also be more than just an excuse to include more fun characters once in a while. They can become heroes and villains in their own right. If a bigger threat faces not just the party, but the world as a whole, it'd make sense the trainers become part of the fight as well.
Trainers with a desire for power may try to seek the party member they train as an apprentice or accomplice in their desires. Or a party member who multi-classes into a different path might suddenly be seen as a threat who needs to be stopped. For example, an archmage might see it fit to try and stop a mage apprentice who started to learn more and more warlock skills on the side.
Discovering powers
Going to a trainer isn't always an option, sometimes the party might just be stuck in a dungeon somewhere without many options to improve, but leveling might still be necessary. Using discovery techniques could work well in these cases. Just as some classes in D&D have to focus on spells to learn them, your characters could focus for a short period during a quiet moment to discover themselves more.
This obviously doesn't work for everything, but it can make for a fun little interaction nonetheless. You could take it a step further and use discovery moments in combat. They're cliche in many tv shows, but they work in them, so why not in an RPG campaign?
Let's say a cleric has reached the threshold to level up, but they're still in a dangerous situation, so there's no time to train. During a difficult moment in combat, you could use the god they worship as a means to have them discover their new powers or perhaps grant them knowledge to figure things out.
A simple fighter might see a certain enemy make a useful combat move a few times, allowing them to learn from them in the middle of battle, and so on.
Leveling as a surprise
You could take everything even further. By asking your players for their character choices in advance, you can sprinkle in their new powers during the campaign. Their characters would grow more organically as they level, but without the choices being made entirely by them. This isn't for everybody of course, but it can be something to think about. It definitely requires good communications between the GM and players.
For example, player 1 might have a level 5 bard and told you they'll want to multi-spec into a rogue and a warrior in the future, and also gain more levels in bard. If the story so far has taken place in a city where they have to be cautious a lot, it would make sense to level them in rogue the next time they level. So as the story progresses, you can narrate them discovering new rogue abilities, and the player will know what's up.
Surprises like this are often very rewarding, it's part of what we love in video games, for example. It can help prevent things from becoming stale and simply a grind from level to level, but there are other ways to prevent this as well.
Surprises work great for character development too, but are best used sparingly. Discovering new things about yourself is often a fun and rewarding process, the same goes for our characters, but working hard to achieve a certain goal is incredibly rewarding too. Both can be mixed together as well. One character might train to become a better sniper, but during their training they might discover they have a talent for first aid as well.
Class dependent
How much you can do through training, surprises, discovery or other methods depends a lot on the classes you're dealing with, and also on the game system. For example, the wizard class in D&D can only use spells in their spellbook, so besides the 2 spells they gain whenever they level, other spells need to be bought, found or learned through other means before they can add them to their spellbook. This is a more natural progression already in place for this class, which forces your hand a little bit. At the same time, this makes it easier to apply similar methods to other classes.
Classes who will be more difficult to adapt are usually the ones without magic, as magic can solve anything. Still, with a little creativity it can be done, like my fighter example from earlier.
Obviously all of this is also very player and group dependent. Communication is always key at every point in the game, so make sure you establish some ground rules so everybody knows what to expect. It's all about having fun after all.

Kia Ora Stud
Kia Ora Stud
Until the recent ascendency of 'Arrowfield' under the astute stewardship of John Messara the stud in the area to produce the majority of champion stallions was Kia Ora Stud in the Segenhoe Valley near Aberdeen. During the 20th century Kia Ora stood no fewer than three champion stallions who between them won 10 championships: 10% of the national total during the 100 years. 'Magpie' won twice in 1928 and 1931; 'Midstream' three times in 1948, 1951 and 1952; 'Delville Wood' five successive titles 1953 – 1957 inclusive. Only Widden Stud exceeds this record throughout the 20th century.

1937 – Percy Miller and the Kia Ora Stud
Percy Miller was a successful businessman and a hobby breeder with half a dozen mares. In 1914 he embarked on commercial thoroughbred production and purchased the cattle property Kia-Ora, over the Pages River from the established Segenhoe Stud, just east of Scone. With manager Bert Riddle, Miller set about developing Kia-Ora as a fully operational horse stud and by 1917 was able to offer two yearlings at the Sydney Easter Sales. It was to be the start of a sustained and most remarkable breeding record. In the same year a horse called Magpie ran second in the English 2000 Guineas and eventually came to Australia where he was acquired as a stallion by Percy Miller. Over the next decade Magpie became one of Australia's leading sires producing many feature race winners at Kia-Ora including Windbag, Amounis and Talking. This became the pattern with a succession of successful sires standing at Kia-Ora. Most notable of these were Midstream and Delville Wood who also became premiership winning sires and were responsible for such champions as Shannon, Delta, Hydrogen and Evening Peal.
They were to leave a legacy in a superb brand of brood mares but most remarkable about the record of Kia-Ora was the high percentage of winners that came off the property and the huge numbers, for the times, of well-grown yearlings that were sold off the stud. This peaked with 105 yearlings offered at the 1941 Sydney Easter Sales, while there were 103 catalogued in 1928 and 99 in both 1931 and 1936 for a total of 2,862 yearlings presented for sale between 1917 and 1949. Bert Riddle was the manager through all these years but on his death in 1952, four years after Percy Miller, the stud was scaled back by the family and finally dispersed in 1957. Kia-Ora had a series of owners from then on and amongst the stallions that stood at the farm were Australian champions Gunsynd and Baguette. Despite the numbers of horses bred at Kia-Ora being far less than before the winners kept coming, including top two year old Gretel and Caulfield Guineas victor Sou'wester.
The present owners took over Kia-Ora in 2000 and have re-developed the famous stud farm returning it to its former glory and once again making it home to some of the best bred mares in Australia.


Fujitsu develops facial detection AI to quantify concentration levels of people
It has touted that the technology can detect concentration across various tasks.
Fujitsu has developed a new AI model that it claims can capture and quantify how much a person is concentrating when performing tasks.
Conventionally, AI models that are designed to quantify concentration have been created by training algorithms to recognise the expressions and behaviours of people performing specific tasks, such as e-learning, Fujitsu explained.
Facial Recognition with business man
But since facial expressions and behaviour differ depending on the tasks involved and the cultural background in which each person grew up, this meant that it has been difficult to develop AI models that could analyse different, specific situations, the company said.
With its new AI model, Fujitsu claimed that it can detect a person's concentration across various tasks due to it identifying common features and separating analysis by each muscle group so it does not become easily influenced by the subjects' cultural backgrounds.
"The technology captures changes over a short period of a few seconds, such as a tense mouth, and long-term changes over periods of tens of seconds, such as staring intently, with time frames optimised for each action unit," Fujitsu said.
When building the AI model, Fujitsu collected data from 650 people across China, Japan, and the United States as part of its machine learning dataset. The dataset included information focused on people engaging in tasks, like memorisation and searching, that require concentration.
Using the newly developed AI model, the concentration levels of participants in each country was estimated for a series of tasks, and it was possible to estimate the degree of concentration with more than 85% accuracy, Fujitsu claimed.
In addition, when the developed AI model was evaluated using data that included both concentration and non-concentration due to drowsiness, Fujitsu said it was able to confirm declines in concentration due to sleepiness indicators.
Fujitsu hopes the latest AI model can be applied across various services such as online classes, online meetings, and sales activities, which have expanded due to the uptick of remote learning and working.
Across the globe, organisations such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have condemned the use of faulty facial recognition systems. In a blog post last year, ACLU senior staff attorney Ashley Gorski said: "Over the last couple years, it's become increasingly clear that facial recognition technology doesn't work well, and would be a civil liberties and privacy nightmare even if it did."
Meanwhile, the Council of Europe published new guidelines at the start of the year that criticised the deployment of facial recognition technologies in workplace and learning contexts.
The watchdog advised that where the technology is used exclusively to determine an individual's skin colour, religious belief, sex, ethnic origin, age, health or social status, the use of facial recognition should be prohibited, unless it can be shown that its deployment is necessary and proportionate.
Under the same conditions, the Council of Europe said the ban should also apply to digital tools that can recognise emotions, detect personality traits, or mental health conditions, as they could be used unfairly in hiring processes or to determine access to insurance and education.

Definition of Cryptitis
Cryptitis: A term that is used to describe one of the abnormalities that is seen under the microscope when small intestinal or colonic tissue is examined. The intestinal crypts are tubular structures composed of cells that protrude from the inner lining of the intestines and into the walls of the intestines. These crypts contain the cells that give rise to all the other cells that move out of the crypts and eventually line the inner lining of the intestines. Inflammation of the crypts is known as cryptitis. Cryptitis is seen in inflammatory bowel disease, both Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis, but it also can be seen in other inflammatory conditions of the intestines. It is not a disease itself but a histologic manifestation of several different diseases.
Cryptitis also may refer to inflammation in the anus. Two centimeters from the anal orifice (anus) the lining tissue of the anus begins to change into the specialized lining of the colon. This junction is called the pectinate line. At the pectinate line are small mounds of tissue that protrude into the anal canal. Between these protrusions into the anus are small out-pouchings from the anus and into the surrounding tissues. These out-pouchings are the anal crypts. Although they are covered with flaps of anal lining tissue, the anal crypts communicate with the anus and colon above. Inflammation of the crypts, probably caused by the trauma of passing stool and/or infection, is referred to as cryptitis. If infection progresses, it can extend further into the surrounding tissues and lead to the formation of an abscess or fistula.

PYTHON: How to Code Materials in Blender Cycles
What's Going On Here?
There are times when I feel the need to take a step back and re-evaluate all my life decisions. Those moments tend to be preceded by questions like how the crap did I end up in this field of kudzu, and where the hell did that snake go? Or how hard could it be to script random materials in Blender with Python—an hour tops?
That last one led me to three days of HELL. This was, by far, the most difficult Blender script I've tackled because the API doesn't have much on how to create materials.
Eventually I gave up on that and just started experimenting with the script in this thread on
It doesn't have much by way of comments, but it can be broken up into 3 steps.
Step 1 will require some additional tweaking to set up the right node tree—there is a list here with the different types that can be plugged in.
The only thing to remember in Step 2 is that the Material Output has the input. The material node has the output going to to that input. I know, it's like they're going out of their way to make it confusing, right?
And presto—assign the material in Step 3. Done.
Now for the fun part.
An Application: The Confetti Function
One preliminary warning. You have to be in Cycles for this to work. And if you run it in Blender render and then switch to Cycles render, it probably won't work—I don't know why. You have to start in Cycles.
import bpy
import random
def confetti(MatCol,r,g,b):
_TAG_ to fit the scene['Plane'].name = MatCol
_TAG_ the planes as the 1st paramater above
mat_name = MatCol
mat =[mat_name].use_nodes = True[mat_name]'ShaderNodeEmission')
inp =[mat_name].node_tree.nodes['Material Output'].inputs['Surface']
outp =[mat_name].node_tree.nodes['Emission'].outputs['Emission'][mat_name],outp)[mat_name].node_tree.nodes['Emission'].inputs[0].default_value = (r,g,b,1)[MatCol].active_material =[mat_name]
_TAG_ a loop 100 times
for index in range(100):
_TAG_ you don't deslect the other objects, the results are real weird[MatCol].select = True
_TAG_ some variables to plug into the location parameter
bpy.ops.object.duplicate_move(OBJECT_OT_duplicate={"linked":False,"mode":'TRANSLATION'}, TRANSFORM_OT_translate={"value":(x,y,z)})
_TAG_ the object and keep it unlinked
confetti("YellowMat", 1, 1, 0)
confetti("GreenMat", 0, 1, 0)
confetti("RedMat", 1, 0, 0)
confetti("BlueMat", 0, 0, 1)
(WordPress really butchers code. If you want a copy/paste version, here's a gist.)
That first block creates the confetti function with parameters for the material name and RGB color values. The last four lines call up that function for yellow, green, red, and blue confetti. The result it this:
The Confetti Function
Nice, right? I'll be updating soon with animation.

 1. just so you know, something weird is going on. i found your post (this one) and it said i wasnt following you. what?!
 so i clicked follow and tried to guess what the story was. then i click this post to reply here, and it said i wasnt following you even though i just clicked follow. so i clicked it again. whatevers going on, it may tell you ive started following you a few more times. the last wordpress update was more like a gutting of reliability– so much of their stuff is working less than usual– not great. cheers.
