RESULTS Characteristics of the study subjects at the start of treatment Table?Table11 shows the anthropometry, SOS, and biochemical markers of the study subjects at the start of treatment. The mean age of the subjects was 71.1 years (range: 49-88 years). The mean SOS was 1473 m/s, which corresponds to 68.9% of the YAM. The mean serum calcium, phosphorus, and ALP levels were 9.2 mg/dL, 3.5 mg/dL, and 229 IU/L, respectively, which were within the normal ranges (8.4-10.2 mg/dL, 2.5-4.5 mg/dL, and 100-340 IU/L, respectively). However, the mean urinary NTX level was 56.2 nmol bone collagen equivalent (BCE)/mmol Cr, AV-412 which was higher than the normal range for Japanese women (9.3-54.3 nmol BCE/mmol Cr), indicating a high bone turnover in these women, a characteristic of osteoporosis. Table 1 Baseline anthropometry, speed of sound and biochemical markers of the study subjects Changes in the SOS of the calcaneus Physique?Physique11 shows the changes in the SOS of the calcaneus. One-way ANOVA with repeated measurements showed a significant longitudinal increase in the SOS at 1 year (= 0.0001). The mean percent changes in the SOS from the baseline after 6 and 12 mo of treatment were +0.68% and +0.65%, respectively (Table?(Table2),2), which were beyond the coefficient of variation (0.27%). Physique 1 Changes in velocity of sound. Data are expressed as mean SD. One-way analysis of variance with repeated measurements was used to analyze the longitudinal changes in the velocity of sound (SOS). The longitudinal change in SOS was statistically significant... Table 2 Changes in speed of sound and biochemical markers Changes in biochemical markers Physique?Physique22 shows the changes in the biochemical markers. The mean urinary NTX levels decreased to the normal range for Japanese women (9.3-54.3 nmol BCE/mmol Cr) after 3 mo of treatment. The mean serum ALP levels also decreased and remained within the normal range (135-340 IU/L) during the 1-12 months treatment period. One-way ANOVA with repeated measurements showed significant longitudinal decreases in the serum ALP and urinary NTX levels (both, < 0.0001). There were no significant longitudinal changes in the serum calcium or Rabbit polyclonal to IQCC. phosphorus levels. The mean percent change in the urinary NTX level from the baseline after 3 mo of treatment was -34.7% (Table?(Table2),2), while those for serum ALP levels after 6 and 12 mo of treatment were -17.2% and -21.2%, respectively (Table?(Table22). Physique 2 Changes in biochemical markers. Data are expressed as mean SD. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measurements was used to analyze the longitudinal changes in biochemical markers. The longitudinal changes in serum alkaline phosphatase … Associations between changes in urinary NTX levels and changes in the SOS of the calcaneus Univariate regression analysis showed no significant associations between the percent decrease in urinary NTX at 3 mo and the percent increase in the SOS AV-412 at either 6 or 12 mo. Fractures During the 1-12 months treatment period, one patient experienced a rib fracture and one patient experienced a morphometric vertebral fracture. Adverse events One patient underwent a tooth extraction during the 1-12 months treatment period. There were no AV-412 significant undesirable occasions with this scholarly research, such as for example osteonecrosis from the jaw, femoral diaphysis atypical fractures, or atrial fibrillation, which were reported in additional studies[17-19]. DISCUSSION Today's research verified that treatment with risedronate reduced the urinary NTX and serum ALP amounts (by -34.7% at 3 mo and -21.2% at 12 mo, respectively), and elicited a modest upsurge in the SOS from the calcaneus (by +0.68% at 6 mo and +0.65% at 12 mo) in Japanese postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. The goals of this research had been to determine: (1) whether reduces in bone tissue turnover markers will be just like those reported inside our earlier research; and (2) if the upsurge in the SOS from the calcaneus will be significant and higher than the number of reproducibility. We also compared the consequences of risedronate and alendronate for the noticeable adjustments in these guidelines. Urinary NTX amounts were assessed at 3 mo after beginning treatment, because dimension of urinary NTX amounts at the moment really helps to assess if the antiresorptive ramifications of risedronate (2.5 mg and 17 daily.5 mg weekly) are sufficient or clinically significant[8,11]. Earlier RCTs demonstrated that risedronate as well as calcium mineral supplementation reduced urinary NTX (by about -38% to -40% at 3 mo) and serum ALP (by.

The post mill is the earliest type of European windmill. The defining feature is that the whole body of the mill that houses the machinery is mounted on a single vertical post, around which it can be turned to bring the sails into the wind. The earliest post mills in England are thought to have been built in the 12th century. The earliest working post mill in England still used today is to be found at Outwood in Surrey. It was built in 1665. The earliest remaining example of a non-operational mill can be found in Great Gransden in Cambridgeshire, built in 1612. Their design and usage peaked in the 18th and 19th centuries and then declined after the introduction of high-speed steam-driven milling machinery. Many still exist today, primarily to be found in Northern Europe and Great Britain. The term peg mill or peg and post mill (in which the "post" was the tailpole used to turn the mill into the wind) was used in north west England, and stob mill in north east England, to describe mills of this type.

The Gateworks Ventana Family of Single Board Computers is well suited for multimedia applications. The Freescale i.MX6 processor has hardware encoding and decoding making for very little processor overhead. To take advantage of this hardware decoding it is important to always use the 'vpuenc' and 'vpudec' gstreamer pipeline elements.
- vpuenc – VPU (Video Processing Unit) encoder
- vpudec – VPU (Video Processing Unit) decoder
It is also important to use a high compression video format such as H.264 which uses significantly less network bandwidth while retaining good quality. To use this, we encode by using the following pipeline element:
- vpuenc codec=avc
When streaming over the network, TCP is a reliable protocol but often too stringentfor video applications. UDP is often preferred so that even if packets are lost, the stream will continue without waiting for the lost packet. To use UDP, we use the udpsrc and udpsink pipeline elements.
Here is an example pipeline to stream live video over the network using two Ventana Single Board Computers. Be sure the two single board computers are on the same network and can ping each other. Both should also be running OpenEmbedded Yocto operating system. An analog video camera is connected to the video input on a Ventana board. Another Ventana board is connected to a HDMI monitor.
Start the server board pipeline first: (board with HDMI monitor connected)
root@ventana:~# gst-launch udpsrc port=9001! h264parse! queue max-size-time=0 max-size-buffers=0! vpudec low-latency=true frame-plus=1 framedrop=false! mfw_v4lsink sync=false async=false
Then start the client pipeline (board with analog video camera connected)
root@ventana:~# gst-launch tvsrc device=/dev/video0! vpuenc codec=avc! udpsink host=192.168.1.2 port=9001sync=false async=false

No for "dry", yes for "wet".
For "dry friction", such as a box on a floor, it is relatively constant. Why is this? Most objects are microscopically rough with "peaks" that move against each-other. As more pressing force is applied, the peaks deform more and the true contact area is increases proportionally. The surfaces adhere forming a bond that will take a certain amount of shear force to break. Since the molecules are moving much faster ~300m/s than the box they have plenty of time to adhere (so velocity is not an issue). However, static friction is sometimes be higher, in one explanation because the peaks have time to settle and interlock with each-other. Neglecting static friction, force is constant.
The simplest case in wet friction is two objects separated by a film of water. In this case there is zero static friction, as the thermal energy is sufficient to disrupt any static, shear-bearing water molecule structure. However, water molecules still push and pull on each-other, transferring momentum from the top to the bottom. The rate of momentum transfer i.e. "friction" grows in proportion to how much momentum is available, which in turn grows with velocity. Thus, force is linear with velocity.
However, interesting things happen when the bulk mass of the water gets important. In this case, bumps, etc on the surface push on the water creating currents that can ram into bumps on the other surface. If you double the velocity, your bumps will push twice as much water twice as fast for 4 times the force; force is quadratic to velocity. You can plug in formulas for the linear case (which depends on viscosity) and quadratic case (which depends on density) to see which one "wins" (this is roughly the Reynolds number), if there is no clear winner the answer is complex (see the Moody diagram).
Nevertheless these are approximations and the real answer could fail to follow these "rules".

How can you use "jararaca" in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
 - While proteases, phospholipase A 2 and nucleotidases are responsible for the haemorrhagic lesions induced by Bothrops jararaca venom, most crotalid myotoxins are phospholipases and some exhibit proteolytic activities [ 12 ]. Crotalid snakes have a wide geographical distribution, this may contribute to differences in their venom composition [ 8 ]. Differences in venom composition may play a role in the effectiveness of the medicinal plants used for snakebites.
 - The in vitro myotoxicity of the crotalid venoms venoms ( Bothrops jararaca, Bothrops jararacussu and Lachesis muta ) and myotoxins (bothropstoxin, bothropasin and crotoxin) was neutralised by simultaneous exposure of isolated skeletal muscles to an aqueous extract of Eclipta prostrata or to wedelolactone, stigmaterol and sitosterol.
 - Ethanolic extracts of the aerial parts of Eclipta prostrata (Asteraceae) neutralised the lethal activity of the venom of South American rattlesnake ( Crotalus durissus terrificus ), as well as the myotoxic and haemorrhagic effects of B. jararaca, B. jararacussu and Lachesis muta snake venoms when mixed in vitro before i.p.

You can actually see the fish and dolphins in the canals of Venice again as tourists stay away during coronavirus crisis
Greg Evans
Wednesday 18 March 2020 08:45
The coronavirus outbreak is worrying for everyone. But people being kept inside has resulted in some positive effects for the surrounding environment.
Pollution levels have dropped above northern Italy as factories have been forced into lockdown and air pollution in London has reportedly dropped due to the amount of people working from home.
Although the lack of tourists around the world have forced animals in places like Thailand and Japan to forage for their own food, in Venice, Italy the world-famous canals have miraculously become so clear again that you can actually see the fish for the first time in decades.
Images of the canals have been widely shared on social media and people, especially those that have visited the city are astonished at what they have seen.
It's not just fish that have been spotted in the city again. Dolphins, swans and even wild boars (which are actually in Sardinia) have begun to reclaim their place in the world.
Meanwhile, this is what it looks like in Venice, one of the biggest tourist destinations in Italy, from a human perspective.
At the time of writing, Italy remains on lockdown after confirming more than 31,000 cases and 2,503 deaths.

Fragment caching is used for caching various blocks within templates without caching the entire action as a whole. This is useful when certain elements of an action change frequently or depend on complicated state while other parts rarely change or can be shared amongst multiple parties. The caching is doing using the cache helper available in the Action View. A template with caching might look something like:
Hello <%= _USER_ %> <% cache do %> All the topics in the system: <%= render_collection_of_partials "topic", Topic.find_all %> <% end %>
This cache will bind to the name of action that called it. So you would be able to invalidate it using expire_fragment(:controller => "topics", :action => "list") — if that was the controller/action used. This is not too helpful if you need to cache multiple fragments per action or if the action itself is cached using caches_action. So instead we should qualify the name of the action used with something like:
<% cache(:action => "list", :action_suffix => "all_topics") do %>
That would result in a name such as "/topics/list/all_topics", which wouldn't conflict with any action cache and neither with another fragment using a different suffix. Note that the URL doesn't have to really exist or be callable. We're just using the url_for system to generate unique cache names that we can refer to later for expirations. The expiration call for this example would be expire_fragment(:controller => "topics", :action => "list", :action_suffix => "all_topics").
In order to use the fragment caching, you need to designate where the caches should be stored. This is done by assigning a fragment store of which there are four different kinds:
- FileStore: Keeps the fragments on disk in the cache_path, which works well for all types of environments and shares the fragments for all the web server processes running off the same application directory.
- MemoryStore: Keeps the fragments in memory, which is fine for WEBrick and for FCGI (if you don't care that each FCGI process holds its own fragment store). It's not suitable for CGI as the process is thrown away at the end of each request. It can potentially also take up a lot of memory since each process keeps all the caches in memory.
- DRbStore: Keeps the fragments in the memory of a separate, shared DRb process. This works for all environments and only keeps one cache around for all processes, but requires that you run and manage a separate DRb process.
- MemCacheStore: Works like DRbStore, but uses Danga's MemCache instead. Requires the ruby-memcache library: gem install ruby-memcache.
Configuration examples (MemoryStore is the default):
ActionController::Base.fragment_cache_store = :memory_store ActionController::Base.fragment_cache_store = :file_store, "/path/to/cache/directory" ActionController::Base.fragment_cache_store = :drb_store, "druby://localhost:9192" ActionController::Base.fragment_cache_store = :mem_cache_store, "localhost" ActionController::Base.fragment_cache_store = MyOwnStore.new("parameter")
One of the common ways of using fragment caching is to cache content that's shared across the site (eg. left navigation, menus, widgets etc.) that looks and works the same regardless of the name of the action or controller calling it. In such cases it's very easy to just use named fragment caching eg.:
<% cache('left_nav') do -%> <%= display_left_nav -%> <% end -%>

 5. "How efficient are the horses…
"How efficient are the horses?"
Translation:Quanto sono efficaci i cavalli?
July 27, 2013
Why not "Quanti efficaci sono i cavalli?"
In this case "quanto" doesn't have to agree in gender and number with the noun, since it's not an adjective referring to it. "Quanto + adj" is equivalent to "how + adj" in the English construction. However, when translating "how much/many", you'd have literally "quanto tanto/a/i/e" which becomes just "quanto/a/i/e". That's the only case you have a declensed form of "quanto".
2020-01-16 As Duolessio said, but also the verb should come directly after quanto, not after the adjective.
Quanto efficaci sono i cavalli also accepted. BUT it is usual to put the verb after quanto. Quanto è lungo il ponte. Quanto è grande il cavallo. Quanto sono grande le case.
It was accepted on 28 July 2020.
I believe "efficace" and "efficiente" have different meanings in the same way that "effective" and "efficient" mean different things. I think "How effective are the horses?" would be a more accurate translation.
I think we are looking at subtly different meanings in the two languages.
In English, confusing efficient and effective is a classic schoolchild's error, of which English teachers are heartily fed up. "Being effective is about doing the right things, while being efficient is about doing things right". Effective is whether something produces a desired effect. Efficient is how well the effect is produced, and in theory can be calculated as units output per unit input.
I think Italian has a different logic, which I find hard to figure out. Dictionary examples suggest that efficiente applied to a person (or a horse or a machine) translates to "efficient", but to non-actors (e.g. a process, a method, a remedy) it translates to "effective". Duo doesn't follow this logic.
There's another Italian phrase for the English "efficient": di buon rendimento. The noun means yield, performance, efficiency or duty according to context. Unfortunately I don't think there's a related adjective.
Speaking as an English teacher (just one, I know) I was much more fed up about "could of ", "them ones" and failure to distinguish between "their", "there" and "they are". :)
I confirm this. Efficiente is more like productive, like a horse which doesn't eat too much but still runs for a long time before getting tired. "cavalli" is also a commonly used short form of "cavalli vapore", which would fit better than my example with horses in terms of an engine efficiency.
An 'efficace' summary; thank you.
That's what I'm lead to believe from peeking too
"How efficiente are the horses!" could be translate also as "Come sono efficaci i cavalli!", or not??
Think of 'how much' and 'how many' as 'quanto'; and 'how, in what way' as 'come'.
Come is not accepted in this sentence?
'Come' is 'in quale modo' how, but 'quanto' is 'in che misura' how: 'in what way' versus 'to what degree'. Here the sentence is, in effect, 'To what degree are the horses efficient', so quanto is used.
Oh yes. Thanks for your explanation.
John I am sure that you are right but I thought "come" was more appropriate because the sentence is about the efficiency of horses and not motors. With motors the response would be perhaps, that the motor is 70% efficient, in which case quanto is clearly the correct interrogative. Whereas, with horse when talking about their efficiency we would not describe it's efficiency in numerical terms but rather in the general attributes of the horse? What do you think?
How about quanto is for countable quantities and come is for non countable quality?
A short explanation that is easy to remember....thank you!
Thanks for a simple answer that I can remember.
Can you not use Come for "how" in this instance? I wrote Come efficaci sono i cavalli.
"How" = come for most things, but not for quantities. "How much/many" = quanto/i, obviously. Less obvious but logical is when the "much" is replaced by an adjective of degree like "long", or "effective" as here. [If Duo means "efficient" the answer should be efficiente. English speakers often get them mixed up too.]
There's one context in which come / quanto are interchangeable, and that's as an intensifier in an exclamation: "How effective the horses are!". In Duo's example there is no exclamation mark and the English word order is wrong. Even if these were present and correct, your Italian word order is wrong: it should have been Come sono efficaci i cavalli!.
I also used "come" because it was the only option suggested when I hovered over the word "how"! And then it was marked wrong!
my translation was: quanto efficaci sono i cavalli. It was correct, but how would an Italian prefer to say it?
It's ok but I think it's more natural with the verb before the adjective.
I also put "Quanto efficaci sono i cavalli" ; it was not accepted. I'm assuming the word order is the issue, but i would be grateful to be directed to any relevant grammar lesson, as I don't have any on DL.
Italian word order is pretty fluid, but here quanto is an (interrogative) adverb, and you don't really want to separate it from the verb or adjective that it modifies. It's a general 'rule'.
References in grammar to quanto è specifically seem to be rare, but the Treccani dictionary says "Come avv[erbio]:... modificando un agg[ettivo]: quant'è lungo il cammino?. This order makes for easy additions, such as... più lungo..., and compound tenses. If you think of the noun first, it's perfectly OK to say I cavalli, quanto sono efficaci? I'm not sure about... sono quanto efficaci?.
Quanto efficaci sono i cavalli was accepted Feb 2018
Is DL certain that "Quanto efficaci sono i cavalli" is not also acceptable?
Look at my previous entry. This was also my translation and it was accepted.
[deactivated user]
 Duolingo said it was wrong when I said it that way.
 Here's my question: How on earth would anyone answer this question, either in Italian or in English? What does "how efficient are the horses" mean anyway? Sorry; it's a ridiculous question.
 On Earth we would answer it variously, such as "very, fairly, not very, not at all, 40% (meaning power output divided by power input)", etc. How about your planet? :-) If you ignore Duo's literal translation by dropping "the", you have "How efficient are horses?" - a genuine question of biophysics or agriculture.
 FYI: Quanto sono efficienti i cavalli? was also accepted.
 Che efficaci sono i cavalli?
 Nope, you have to use "quanto".
 Got it, Johnrush. Thanks.
 Could somebody please explain to me why Come efficaci sono i cavalli? is incorrect? I interpret this question of efficiency as to what extent the horses are of use, not an inquiry into how strong they are.
 It is accepted now.
 In addition to all valid questions about where'sono' should go in the sentence, as discussed here, I would kindly point out to DL that, just like 'efficient' and 'effective' have significantly different meanings in English, I frivolously assume the same semantic distinction applies to 'efficiente' and 'efficace'.
 So, DL, please, respect the correspondence.
 Does anyone have an actual clue as to how to pick the order of words in this sentence?
 I'm coming to the conclusion that the answer is to start again, be born in Italy, grow to your present age, and it will all become clear.
 Why is it "quanto" and not "quanti" here when we are talking about horses (plural)?
 And why is "efficaci" AFTER "sono"? I put "quanti efficaci sono i cavalli" (thinking it literally translates to "how efficient are the horses" and was marked wrong, but I will try to just change "quanti" to "quanto" next time and see if where I put the adjective will be accepted that way too or not.
 Quanto can be an adjective or an adverb, here it is an interrogative adverb. Adverbs are fixed words that do not change, just as the interrogative adverbs perché, dove, and quando do not change.
 nstallaert2 - "And why is "efficaci" AFTER "sono"?"
 See malcolmissimo's comment from 2 years ago.
 As a language teacher, language is alive, it changes meaning with acceptance. Just because something is right grammatically according to the Grammar Book doesn't mean that one has to use it that way. Dialects account for so many differences, y'all. For me, efficient means

Crane motion induces payload oscillation that makes accurate positioning of the payload a challenging task. As the payload size increases, it may be necessary to utilize multiple cranes for better control of the payload position and orientation. However, simultaneously maneuvering multiple cranes to transport a single payload increases the complexity and danger of the operation.
This thesis investigates the dynamics and control of dual-hoist bridge cranes transporting distributed payloads. Insights from this dynamic analysis were used to design input shapers that reduce payload oscillation originating from various crane motions. Also, studies were conducted to investigate the effect input shaping has on the performance of human operators using a dual-hoist bridge crane to transport distributed payloads through an obstacle course. In each study, input-shaping significantly improved the task completion time. Furthermore, input-shaping control greatly decreased operator effort, as measured by the number of button pushes needed to complete a task. These results clearly demonstrate the benefit of input-shaping control on dual-hoist bridge cranes.
In addition, a new system identification method that utilizes input shaping for determining the modal frequencies and relative amplitude contributions of individual modes was developed to aid in the dynamic analysis of dual-hoist bridge cranes, as well as other multi-mode systems. This method uses a new type of input shaper to suppress all but one mode to a low level. The shaper can also be used to bring a small-amplitude mode to light by modifying one of the vibration constraints.

Nigerian banks asked to remove ATM's
April 16, 2009 • Hardware, Security
ATM_machine.jpgNigeria's central bank has commended the efforts of most Nigerian banks to reach the un-banked segment of its population through the deployment of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) across the nation.
However, the Automated Teller Machines Director of Banking Operations, James Olekah, reminded banks that the deployment of the electronic gadgets in public places is beyond the mandate given to banks as stipulated in the policies guiding the operations of ATM Consortium (ATMC).
He noted that banks are competing with ATMC in its sole mandate of deploying ATMs in public places.
The CBN expressed concern at indiscriminate deployment of bank's ATMs in public places (particularly hotel lobbies and airports).
Consequently, banks are directed to restrict further deployment of ATMs to their premises and to withdraw bank ATMs in public places to their premises before June 30, 2009.
The CBN also officially made public its decision to begin the licensing process for an additional ATM Consortium with the sole mandate to deploy ATMs in public places thereby bringing to two the number of ATM consortia in the economy.
The ATMs have brought a new dimension to banking in Nigeria, making banking services and its delivery convenient and accessible. There is a growing demand for more ATMs across the country as the present distribution of bank ATMs are concentrated in Lagos and Abuja regions.
While bank customers are likely to feel the adverse effect of the withdrawal of bank's ATMs from public places, it is expected that the present policy would give the ATM consortia in the country a business environment conducive to profitable deployment of their resources.
Hence, the number of ATMs and Point of Sales (POS) systems available in the country is expected to increase significantly. This technological development is also likely to boost other sectors of the economy that rely on ATMs and POS as business electronic distribution channels and payment systems. Such prospective beneficiaries include the telecommunication (recharge code distribution) and lottery (ATM/POS lotteries) industries.

 3. mmyk says:
 mmyk ; if the ATMc are unable to deploy these machines to where they are needed most -public placeslet the banks do it for them after-all what is important is accessing cash wherever and whenever and not some cabal in whatever names making monies from nigerians and giving them the height of inconvenience as if ATM AND POS are rocket science.
 4. Tunde says:
 It might sound nice, but ATMs are actually suppose to be at points where it will be convenient for the public to use. So if the banks decide to place at strategic points, so be it.
 These so called consortium, what will be their charges be? If it is above the normal bank charges, which is deducted once a month by the more sane banks, then its cool, but anything other than that, please let it be.

Real estate market niche
This is the last in a three-part series about supercharging your real estate business with a marketing niche. Part I of the series discusses how selecting a niche helps you to grow your business. Part II explained how to identify potential niches. This final entry will help you evaluate a real estate market niche choose one that will work for you.
If you do a search on the internet, you'll find a wealth of information on how to determine the value of a market. The approach described below is a common sense way to evaluate a real estate market niche that doesn't require hiring a marketing agency to complete a six-month study.
Evaluate Your Niches' Potential
The first thing you need to do is evaluate the potential for each real estate market niche you identified.
 1. Identify the activity in the niche for the past year or two.
Naturally, the more information you have, the better your evaluation will be. Therefore, get as much information as you can. You'll need to pull information from your MLS and other resources, so first determine how you can identify the niche.
You'll need to use criteria that you can pull from the MLS as a start. For example, determine if you can use zip codes or subdivision names to describe your niche. In addition, think of the other fields you can use to filter transactions. For example, there may be a field agents use to identify the listing as an historical home or a waterfront property.
Make a chart, and for each transaction in the niche, identify:
 - The transaction – perhaps by address
 - The dollar value of the transaction
 - The agents involved in the transaction
 1. Determine if the niche is large enough to support you.
Total up the dollar value of the transactions in the niche. Then, ask yourself: "What if I could capture 5, 10 or 20 percent of the market? Would that allow me to reach my income goals?"
If the answer is that you'd need 50 or 75 percent of the market, you either need the capital required to keep going until you reach that goal, or you need to choose a more active niche.
 1. Real estate market nicheEvaluate your competition.
Look at the chart and sort it according to agent name, and calculate how much of the real estate market niche each agent has captured. For example, if there were 500 transactions and one agent did 10 transactions, that agent would have 2 percent of the market.
Look for trends. Does one agent have a large part of the market? Are there five agents that do the bulk of the transactions, then it falls off to a number of also-ran agents? If one agent has 90 percent of the market, you'd need have much more to offer to break in to that niche. But, let's assume that there are five agents that share the bulk of the transactions.
Your next step would be to research those agents. If you know some of them already, you've got a head start, but you'll still need to do some research.
 - Look at their websites. Do they promote themselves as experts in the niche you're evaluating?
 - What does their website tell you about how they brand themselves and how they sell their services?
 - Look at review websites like Facebook, Zillow and Trulia. Do they have a five star rating on those sites? What do their clients say they liked about their services.
 - Find out everything you can about each agent that would affect their strength as a competitor. Are they mid-career and picking up steam? Are they heading toward retirement? Are they brand new? How many transactions do they complete a year? Do they have any production awards?
After you've gathered information about a competitor, look for things that you do better than they do. Pay attention to any negative reviews to find out what people don't like about working with them. At that point, you should be able to make an educated guess as to how difficult it will be to break into the market.
Make a Choice and Go For It!
You can compare the information you gathered about each of your potential niches and make an informed choice to actively pursue the most promising. Once you've made that commitment, go all out. Brand yourself and your website for that niche and market to the people in that niche.
Finally, ask yourself this question: Would you rather have a small chance of getting a very small part of a huge market, or a good chance at getting a significant portion of a specialized market? When you become the go-to person in a niche, finding new clients will be a breeze – they'll come to you.

The Knotting of Equilateral Polygons in R-cubed
It was proved in that the knotting probability of a Gaussian random polygon goes to 1 as the length of the polygon goes to infinity. In this paper, we prove the same result for the equilateral random polygons in R3. More precisely, if EPn is an equilateral random polygon of n steps, then we have
P(EPn is knotted) > 1 - exp(-n∊)
provided that n is large enough, where ∊ is some positive constant.

 2. Scan UPC/EAN code of the paint base in ColorDesigner PLUS before dispensing.
 3. Scan the bar code on a paint chip to look up the color (instead of typing the color name or color number).
UPC/EAN code handling verifies that the operator has the correct paint base and can size, so it eliminates one cause of mistints.

7 Things You May Not Know about Caviar
7 Things You May Not Know About Caviar
Aside from being one of the world's most luxurious foods, caviar has facts and health benefits that you may not have heard of. Here are a few things you may not know about these exquisite fish eggs.
1. Caviar is a highly concentrated source of nutrients. Caviar is packed with vitamins and minerals (Omega 3) and is high in protein. One serving of caviar has an adult's daily requirement of B12, as well as vitamins A, E, B6, iron, magnesium and selenium.
2. It lasts longer than one day. As caviar is essentially a cured fish, it has a very good shelf-life, even after it has been opened. When it is stored in the coldest part of a refrigerator, usually the bottom section, it should stay as fresh and as tasty as the day it was opened for up to 5 days.
3. The word "caviar" didn't originate in Russia. The most popular legend has it that the word caviar originally came from the Persian "khav-yar", meaning 'cake of power' as ancient Persians widely believed it to have medicinal powers.
4. Caviar can be heard! You can hear the friction when you rub fish eggs together, with a clearly distinguishable sound like a cat's purr.
5. Caviar is one of the oldest delicacies. Kings and the aristocracy in ancient Greece, Rome and Russian were all known to feast on caviar, before oysters, truffles, and Champagne had even been discovered.
6. The world's most expensive caviar comes from a 100 year-old sturgeon. Almas caviar is created from the eggs of a 70-100 year old huso huso sturgeon (which produces beluga caviar). It is sold for around £35,000 per kilo, which means it can be more than £1,000 for a 30g tin.
7. Caviar is incredibly versatile. Although traditionally caviar is served on blinis or toast, it's actually a very versatile delicacy. Early Russian caviar lovers preferred to have their fish eggs served on a baked potato. Nowadays, you can find caviar served with just about anything, from quail eggs Benedict to gourmet burgers and lobster mousse!

Medieval Communities and the Mad
Narratives of Crime and Mental Illness in Late Medieval France
Amsterdam University Press 2020
The concept of madness as a challenge to communities lies at the core of legal sources. Aleksandra Nicole Pfau's book Medieval Communities and the Mad: Narratives of Crime and Mental Illness in Late Medieval France (Amsterdam UP, 2020) considers how communal networks, ranging from the locale to the realm, responded to people who were considered mad. The madness of individuals played a role in engaging communities with legal mechanisms and proto-national identity constructs, as petitioners sought the king's mercy as an alternative to local justice.
The resulting narratives about the mentally ill in late medieval France constructed madness as an inability to live according to communal rules. Although such texts defined madness through acts that threatened social bonds, those ties were reaffirmed through the medium of the remission letter. The composers of the letters presented madness as a communal concern, situating the mad within the household, where care could be provided. Those considered mad were usually not expelled but integrated, often through pilgrimage, surveillance, or chains, into their kin and communal relationships.

As you move across the period the atomic radius gets smaller and as you move down the column the radius gets bigger. So silver has a larger atomic radius than zinc. This is because when you add a proton, then the nucleus pulls the electrons in stronger, pulling the atoms cell close to the nucleus. So then the atomic radius decreases, and when you take away a proton then the atomic radius increases.
Across a period the radius gets smaller while down a group it gets bigger. Since silver is lower and to the left, it is bigger than zinc in both aspects. Comparing elements like nitrogen and sulfur would be more ambiguous, however it's not likely that questions like that would be asked.

 A diver, especially one in a diving suit (as opposed to one in scuba gear).
 2. frogman(Noun)
 A US Navy SEAL.
 1. Frogman
 A frogman is someone who is trained in scuba diving or swimming underwater in a tactical capacity which includes combat. Such personnel are also known by the more formal names of combat diver, or combatant diver, or combat swimmer. "Combat swimming" is often used to mean "combat diving", but, according to some, strictly speaking means surface swimming without a breathing apparatus for coastal or ship infiltration. Such actions are a historical form of "frogman" activity and an important feature of naval special operations. The term '"frogman" is often popularly used to refer to a civilian scuba diver. The word arose around 1940 from the appearance of a diver in shiny drysuit and large fins. Though the preferred term by scuba users is "diver", the "frogman" epithet persists in informal usage by non-divers, especially in the media and often in reference to professional scuba divers such as in a police role. Some sport diving clubs include the word "Frogmen" in their names. In the U.S. military the United States Intelligence Community, divers trained in scuba or CCUBA who deploy for tactical assault missions are called "combat divers". This term is used to refer to the Navy SEALs, operatives of the CIA's Special Activities Division, elements of Marine Recon, Army Ranger RRD members, Army Special Forces divers, Air Force Pararescue, Air Force Combat Controllers and the Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal units.

The DesktopManager class is responsible for managing the internal frames.
You should be able to override the openFrame() method to initially position the frame when it is added to the desktop.
There are also methods on dragging that you might be able to override to prevent the overlapping of frames.

This is an unproven proposition I've come across in multiple places.
Suppose $A$ is a commutative Noetherian ring, and $S$ a multiplicative subset of $A$. Then $S^{-1}A$ is Noetherian.
Why is this? I thought about taking some chain of submodules $$ S^{-1}M_1\subset S^{-1}M_2\subset\cdots $$ and pulling back to a chain $$ M_1\subset M_2\subset\cdots $$ of submodules of $A$ which must eventually stablize. Is there more to it than this? I kind of wary of assuming all submodules of $S^{-1}A$ have form $S^{-1}M$ for $M\leq A$.

This is a standard property of localizations:
Theorem. Let $R$ be a commutative ring, and let $S\neq\emptyset$ be a multiplicative subset. Let $M$ be an $R$-module. Let $\varphi\colon R\to S^{-1}R$ be the canonical map ($\varphi(r) = \frac{rs}{s}$), and likewise, by abuse of notation, let $\varphi\colon M\to S^{-1}M$ be the natural map $(\varphi(m) = \frac{sm}{s}$ with $s\in S$).
 1. For every submodule $N$ of $M$, $S^{-1}N = \{\frac{a}{s}\mid a\in N\}$ is a submodule of $S^{-1}M$.
 2. If $L$ is a submodule of $S^{-1}M$, then $\varphi^{-1}(L) = \{m\in M\mid \varphi(m)\in L\}$ is a submodule of $M$.
 3. If $N$ is a submodule of $M$, then $N\subseteq \varphi^{-1}(S^{-1}N)$. Moreover, if $N=\varphi^{-1}(L)$ for some submodule $L$ of $M$, then $L=S^{-1}N$.
Proof. $S^{-1}N$ is nonempty, as it contains $\frac{0}{s}$; it is closed under differences, since $\frac{a}{s}-\frac{b}{t} = \frac{ta-sb}{st}\in S^{-1}N$ if $a,b\in N$. And it is closed under scalar multiplication, since $a\in N$ implies $ra\in N$ for all $r\in R$, so $\frac{r}{t}(\frac{a}{s}) = \frac{ra}{ts}\in S^{-1}N$ if $a\in N$.
Now let $L$ be a submodule of $S^{-1}M$; since $\varphi$ is a module homomorphism, the pullback of a submodule is a submodule, so 2 is immediate.
Again, let $N$ be a submodule of $M$. Then for every $a\in N$ we have $\varphi(a) = \frac{sa}{s}\in S^{-1}N$, since $sa\in N$, hence $a\in \varphi^{-1}(S^{-1}N)$. Now assume that $N=\varphi^{-1}(L)$. If $a\in N$ and $s\in S$, then $\frac{a}{s} = \frac{ssa}{sss} = \frac{s}{ss}\frac{sa}{s} =\frac{s}{ss}\varphi(a)\in L$ (since $\varphi(a)\in L$), hence $S^{-1}N\subseteq L$. Conversely, let $\frac{m}{t}\in L$. Then $\frac{tt}{t}\frac{m}{t} = \frac{(tt)m}{tt}=\varphi(m)\in L$, hence $m\in \varphi^{-1}(L) = N$; thus, $\frac{m}{t}\in S^{-1}N$, proving that $L\subseteq S^{-1}N$. Therefore, $L=S^{-1}N$, as claimed. $\Box$
Corollary. Every submodule of $S^{-1}M$ is of the form $S^{-1}N$ for some submodule $N$ of $M$.

_USER_ I swear to god I've learned so much from your posts on Math.SE :D – user38268 Feb 19 '12 at 1:00
Let $f\colon A \to S^{-1}A$ be the canonical homomorphism. It is true that every ideal $\mathfrak b$ of $S^{-1}A$ is of the form $S^{-1}\mathfrak a = f(\mathfrak a)(S^{-1}A)$ for some ideal $\mathfrak a$ of $A$. We can even take $\mathfrak a = f^{-1}(\mathfrak b)$, and this should help you prove that $S^{-1}A$ is Noetherian using increasing chains.
You can find related facts in and around Proposition 6.4 of Milne.

Thanks for your help again, Dylan. btw, should it say some ideal $\mathfrak{a}$ of $A$? in the second line, not $S^{-1}A$? – Buble Feb 18 '12 at 23:27

Bodrum Archeology of Underwater Museum
Bodrum Fortress
Turkey is one of the countries where archeology can be a star scientific branch. In addition to ground archeology, underwater archeology is also important for Turkey due to its location in history. The items of underwater archeology are being exhibited in a museum that was founded in Bodrum underwater museum.
The oldest sunken of the museum
This museum is formed of various halls such as British hall and German hall. Those towers of the fortress are halls of the museum. There are different sections in the museum. Those are about some ancient sunken ships and amphora exhibitions. As we know that the goods such as olive oil and wine were transported in those amphoras.
Amphora section
The oldest sunken ship was dated back to earlier ancient era.Of course it is the replica of the vessel. Also we can see every sort of archeological items that were unearthed in Bodrum including Turkish bath and jewellery.
A relief of ancient era
Also dungeon of the fortress is very impressive because this place is described as "the place that God never exists". It is a classical middle age dungeon.
Briefly it is one of the worth visiting museums of Turkey.

Hinges. What do we know about them?
According to historical scholars, the first hinge dates back to 1600 B.C. and consisted of large stone sockets that acted as pivots to open/close doors. However, the Romans, developed the hinge in such a way, that ordinary people could use them for cabinets, drawers and doors in their own homes. The Romans also placed hinges on their armor for greater mobility. Stronger more powerful hinges were created by the English in the 16th and 17th centuries. These English techniques were brought over to the American colonies and blacksmithing became a popular trade since the need for stronger hardware was growing. In the 1850's Charles Hager, Hager Hardware, developed the wagon wheel and a hinge for wagon doors. The ball bearing hinge was developed in 1899, and the most common hinge, still used today, the butt hinge, in 1900.*

Owning a business is a rewarding and challenging experience. Perhaps one of the most challenging responsibilities for business owners is hiring quality employees and—when necessary—knowing when and how to fire employees. This article briefly discusses 7 tips that will help you avoid legal and other issues when you let an employee go.
 1. Clearly Define Work Expectations at the Outset
If you decide that terminating an employee is necessary, the fired employee should not be surprised—or should at least know that being fired based on established expectations was a real possibility. To establish proper work and performance standards, clear training at the outset is important, and progressive disciplinary measures are also crucial. All employers, big and small, should keep detailed records of the training and disciplinary process to avoid claims of improper conduct, as discussed in more depth below.
 1. Fire for a Legal Reason
Employees in Utah can fire at-will employees for almost any reason, such as arriving 5 minutes late to work, performing tasks poorly, or acting abrasively to other employees. An employer generally doesn't even need a basis at all to fire an at-will employee. Any reason is fine—so long as it isn't an illegal reason.
One illegal reason is firing based on a protected class. Protected classes in Utah include race, color, sex, national origin, and gender identity—qualities or traits that all people have—as well as other traits such as religious affiliation, being pregnant, being over the age of 40, or having a disability. Federal laws are similar. Avoid any appearance of firing an employee for a reason associated with a protected class.
There are other prohibited reasons for firing an employee, such as firing in retaliation against an employee who reports an employer's violation of law or firing an employee who takes time off under the Family and Medical Leave Act. And perhaps it goes without saying that an employer cannot fire an employee for refusing to engage in an illegal act.
 1. Be Consistent with Discipline and Firing
Be consistent on how you handle employee issues, whether large or small. For example, if you allow one person to arrive late without any consequence but then you fire or discipline another for being late, this may create a potential discrimination claim. Every person in Utah fits into a protected class (explained above). The mere fact of being male, female, or asserting no sexual orientation makes you a member of a protected class. So, each person has some trait or quality that an employer cannot use as motivation for any adverse action, like discipline, demotion, or discharge.
Even if an adverse action is not based on a protected class, it may give an appearance of discrimination. For instance, if all males regularly arrive 20 minutes late without consequence, but all females are punished for the same behavior, the employer has created an appearance of violating laws against discrimination. Even if the employer wasn't motivated by gender, it has acted dangerously under the law.
 1. Fire Based on Facts and for Business Reasons
Although you can generally fire at-will employees for any reason (so long as it isn't an illegal reason, as discussed above), you should avoid firing based on hunches, emotions, or other subjective motivations. It is best to fire based on facts and for business reasons. If there is no clear, explainable basis for firing, suspicions and emotions can create allegations and issues that employers want to avoid. The more emotional the firing events are, the more likely the reason for firing is questioned and scrutinized legally.
It is generally best to explain these reasons to the employee in a short, professional, in-person meeting, as discussed later.
 1. Pay the Employee Everything Owed
When you fire an employee, it is usually wise to pay the employee every cent that he or she has earned—or arguably earned. If timecards aren't clear for whatever reason, err on the side of overcompensating. If you are tempted to deduct wages for damages the employee caused to company property, think twice. If the employee fails to return employee property, you probably don't want to deduct the costs from the final paycheck.
Employees are generally entitled to their pay, and after being fired, an employee is more inclined to retaliate against an employer who hasn't paid everything. For instance, such a disgruntled employee is more likely to file a lawsuit or initiate an investigation by the Utah Labor Commission. Dealing with a lawsuit or investigation, even if you prevail, likely isn't worth the headache and associated costs.
 1. Document the Actual Firing Process in Writing
When you fire an employee, you should carefully document in writing the firing process, in addition to documenting prior disciplinary action and issues that occurred leading up to the actual firing. The reasons the employee is fired should be well documented in company records. Such a written record will help protect you from claims that the termination was based on an improper, illegal reason—a reason you did not state or intend and a reason that did not exist (such as reasons based on gender, age, disability, etc.).
If you have a contemporaneous record that explains the reason for the firing, it will be good evidence later—perhaps months down the road—to counter an employee's claims that you fired him or her for an illegal reason. Your statements after the claim is brought will not carry as much weight as statements and records you created at the time of the firing. Good records help combat "he said she said" situations.
 1. Implement a Plan for the Firing Process—And Follow It
Implement a plan setting forth procedures for all employees you fire. The experience of being let go will be very memorable for each employee. You'll want it to go as smoothly as possible. Most employees respect—or at least deserve—an in-person conversation explaining in brief and professional terms the reason for the firing. Emails, texts, or telephone conversations are not favored. Keep the conversation short, and be very clear that the firing is final. Rip the Band-Aid off.
Set up procedures that allow you to recover all company property from the employee. Don't allow the employee to keep company documents, equipment, etc.
Also, implement procedures that make the firing less visible to the rest of the company, which helps make the process less public and emotional. It may be respectful to allow the employee to immediately leave work, with the ability to gather his or her belongings on a later date. Or you can offer to send the employee's belongings to his or her house.
It may be wise to ask the employee to immediately leave work, without further mingling with the other company employees or spending the day working (or crying) at his or her desk. After being fired, an employee likely won't contribute to the work environment and may do or say something harmful. For this reason, it is probably wise not to allow the employee continued access to the company property and information after being fired.
It is often appropriate to have another person present when an employee is fired. This additional witness can help combat false claims of how the firing process occurred and what was said or done.

In order to better understand the potential for both policy and technological improvements to aid carbon abatement, long-term historical information on the time-path of transition from more traditional to cleaner fuels is useful. Knowing how this varies by socio-economic, demographic and geographic factors is also crucial in designing targeted policies. This research examines the timing and determinants of residential gas connections at area level within Ireland. We merge a unique dataset on gas network roll-out over time, with other geo-coded data and employ an instrumental variables technique in order to simultaneously model supply and demand. Results indicate a non-linear relationship between the proportion of households using gas as their primary means of central heating and the length of time the network has been in place in each area. Proximity to the gas network, peat bogs, and areas which have banned the consumption of bituminous coal also affect gas connections. Variations in socioeconomic and dwelling characteristics at area level can also help explain connections to the gas network.

A Sinking Historical Treasure
A sinking historical treasure
Venice, a northeast city of Italy, is built on 117 small islands that are separated by 150 canals. A canal is a kind of "road of water" made by humans to get things from one place to another. People cross the canals by many small bridges. They can also be taken for rides along the canals in boats.Venice is very famous for its beauty and historical buildings and artwork.
Scientists say Venice is sinking into the water five times quicker than previously thought and the city is also gradually tilting eastwards into Adriatic sea, as it is hit by more floods than ever before.
The government of Italy is trying hard to build systems to protect from floods and to slow down the sinking of the city.
Some interesting facts:
Is Venice the only city that is sinking? No, Coastal cities like New Orleans are sinking faster.

London Piano Institute on Pianist Artur Schnabel
London-Piano-Institute-Artur-SchnabelLondon Piano Institute is the U.K.'s only piano school for adults only. Located in central London, London Piano Institute offers the highest quality instruction in classical, jazz, pop, rock and blues piano using the latest and most effective adult instructional methods developed by renowned piano pedagogue Celine Gaurier-Joubert. Here a top instructor at London Piano Institute discusses one the greatest masters of the keyboard, Artur Schnabel.
A Gathering of Experts: Who was Artur Schnabel?
London Piano Institute: He was an Austrian classical pianist, teacher and composer.
A Gathering of Experts: In what era did he live?
London Piano Institute: He was born April 17, 1882, and died April 15, 1951. He was one of the great pianists of the 20th century.
A Gathering of Experts: What was his specialty?
London Piano Institute: He specialized in the great Austrian and German composers, specifically Beethoven and Schubert, although he played others as well.
A Gathering of Experts: What set him apart?
London Piano Institute: He was recognized for his intellectual seriousness when approaching the repertoire and avoiding pure technical bravura.
A Gathering of Experts: Was that received well?
London Piano Institute: Yes, indeed. He has been hailed for his "interpretive penetration." Harold C. Schonberg, once chief music critic for the New York Times, called him "the man who invented Beethoven," meaning that he established authoritative interpretations that have stood the test of time.
A Gathering of Experts: Where was he born?
London Piano Institute: Born in Lipnik near Bielitz, Galicia, Austro-Hungarian Empire (today a part of Poland), Schnabel was the youngest of three children born into a Jewish family. At an early age, however, his family moved to Vienna, Austria.
A Gathering of Experts: Was he a child prodigy?
London Piano Institute: Evidently, yes. At the age of 2 he took an interest in his older sister's piano lessons and his talent became obvious. At age 6 he began piano studies at the prestigious Vienna Conservatorium and by age 9 was a student of the famed pedagogue Theodor Leschetizky.
A Gathering of Experts: What came next for him?
London Piano Institute: He continued to study piano and music theory and became acquainted with famous pianists and composers of his day, including Johannes Brahms. He made his concert debut in 1897 in Vienna.
A Gathering of Experts: Did he become a touring artist?
London Piano Institute: Yes, he gave concerts throughout the region including Budapest, Prague and Brunn (in today's Czech Republic). In 1898 he moved to Berlin where he gained fame as an orchestral soloist.
A Gathering of Experts: Did he tour outside of central Europe?
London Piano Institute: After World War I he gave concert tours in Russia, England and the United States.
A Gathering of Experts: Was there a focus to his performing during this time?
London Piano Institute: He became known for his chamber music and formed a number of variations of the Schnabel Trio with famous violinists and cellists of his day. He also performed with contralto Therese Behr, who became his wife.
A Gathering of Experts: Did he leave Germany before World War II started?
London Piano Institute: Yes, with the rise of the Nazi party, he left Berlin in 1933 for England and finally America in 1939.
A Gathering of Experts: Did he ever return to Germany or Austria after the war?
London Piano Institute: No, despite many concert tours in other parts of Europe he never did.
A Gathering of Experts: What were the standards of his repertoire?
London Piano Institute: He remained devoted to the core German composers but also included the piano masterworks of Bach, Mozart, Schumann, Weber and Liszt.
A Gathering of Experts: He is known for the difficult late Beethoven piano works, is he not?
London Piano Institute: Yes, indeed, although he recognized that as enjoyable as they were for the pianist to master, they could be challenging for an audience to enjoy.
A Gathering of Experts: How about Schnabel as composer?
London Piano Institute: As conventional as his repertoire was, it is interesting to note that his compositions were very modern in style, since he wrote in the atonal and 12-tone style, which feature the dissonance typical of mid-20th century classical music.

In this workshop, you'll find that the letter "H" is the perfect frame for a helmet. We'll rework a simple giant letter into a helmet for an imaginary sports team.
What you'll need:
15″ x 15″ cardstock
- Begin by cutting out one 6″ x 6″ square from the middle of both sides of the cardstock as shown in the diagram, to create an "H" shape.
2. Draw patterns on the remaining area that best express your imaginary sport.
3. Bend in the middle so that both sets of ends can overlap and size it up to the wearer's head. Use a hole punch to create a hole through both layers.
4. Fasten the layers with a brass fastener, making sure to have the two ends of the fastener point from the inside of the helmet to the outside. This way the two ends do not poke the wearer's head or catch his or her hair.
5. Use the rest of the materials to decorate the helmet with telling elements that will help you in your imaginary sport. For example: Does it need an antenna for communicating? Does it need wings for flying? Or does it need lenses to cover the eyes?
Share your helmet with us using _TAG_! How-To Tuesdays are published on our blog every other week, so check back soon for a new project!

This calculator can solve for one piston excursion parameter while changing the
other variables. For example: tell the calculator the number of drivers,
cone diameter, desired volume level, a frequency and it will calculate how much
driver excursion (Xmax) is required to achieve this assuming a sealed box or
infinite baffle alignment.
This calculator is only valid for sealed box or infinite baffle alignments.
Xmax excursion is center to peak ("one-way") which is usually half of
the peak to peak value.
These are excursion limited numbers. It is assumed that
amplification and driver power handling are not a factor.
Vented alignments will typically have double the driver's Xmax values at
F3, this shows the efficiency inherent in the vented alignment.
Isobariks should be calculated with half the number of drivers, since
all we are interested in is how large the radiating surface is and how much air
it can move. Isobariks change effective box volume and that is not what
is of interest here.
These equations don't follow the max 194dB limit in 1 atm. They
track nicely until you get to the extremes (example: 10000 drivers or an Xmax
of 300 feet or a driver with a diameter of a quarter mile). As things
get huge the point source model falls apart.

There was a brief warm spell around 9 September, on which date the highest September temperature for six years was recorded, but much of the rest of the month was cool. In fact it was the coolest September since 1993, and heavy rain during the third week caused floods. This was the result of a deep and slow-moving low pressure system delivering copious rain between 23 and 25 September. Prior to that it was dry in East Anglia and south-east England.
The mean maximum temperature in September ranged from 20.2C at St James's Park, London, to 12C at Lerwick, Shetland. The Central England Temperature (CET) was 13.1C, which is 1 degree below average. Daytime temperatures were between 0.2 degrees above average in East Anglia and 1.3 degrees below in western Scotland. The highest recorded temperature was 29.3C at both Writtle in Essex and Cambridge on the afternoon of 9 September. The coldest night was that of 22/23 September, when Braemar, Aberdeenshire, recorded a minimum temperature of -4.1C.
Across England and Wales there was 78mm of rain, which is 102% of the average. Scotland had 81mm, exactly on the average, while Northern Ireland had 98mm, or 123% of average. Much of that rain came from the slow-moving storm during the last week of September. Up to 22 September it was relatively dry, but the following three days had widespread heavy rainfall which led to significant floods. During that period 131mm of rain fell on Ravensworth, North Yorkshire. The wettest location through the month was Cluanie Inn, Wester Ross, which measured 325mm of rain, while Otterbourne in Hampshire was the driest with 24mm.
England and Wales had an average 171 hours of sunshine, which is 116% of the mean. Only 11 Septembers have been sunnier in the last 100 years. Scotland had 127 hours, or 111% of its average, and Northern Ireland recorded 139 hours, which is 113% of the average. Manston in Kent was the sunniest location with 196 hours of sunshine, while Kinlochewe, Wester Ross, had the lowest sunshine total with only 62 hours.

Since Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations is a cloud-based ERP we cannot work with files on the AOS drive anymore. It was pretty usual to have file-based integrations in AX where you got a file in a folder and processed it.
Of course it's still possible to work with files, for example from a storage account on Azure like Miquel Vidal has shown in his blog (in Spanish) or with the Recurring Integrations Scheduler tool.
Unzip.NET Streams
So, how do we unzip one of these files? For example, the ISO20022 vendor payment journal file is zipped. What if we need to access the XML file contained in the ZIP?
We'll need to use the ZipArchive class from System.IO.Compression namespace, and it's really really easy. For example:
public MemoryStream unizpStream(MemoryStream _stream)
ZipArchive zipArchive = new ZipArchive(_stream);
MemoryStream retStream = new MemoryStream();
var enumerator = zipArchive.Entries.GetEnumerator();
entry = enumerator.Current;.
var unzippedStream = entry.Open();
Edit: this code is valid for a single file ZIP. If the zipped file contains more than one file you must process each Stream inside the while.
We need to copy the unzippedStream stream (which is a DeflateStream) to a MemoryStream (which must be initialized) before returning it.
Remember that to access a.NET collection we need to use an enumerator to loop through it. If you don't see the methods in the lookup using dot notation just write them, writing.NET code in X++ is still a bit buggy…

Paint is the image editor included with Windows. Most photographers probably overlook MS Paint for editing photos as it has relatively limited tools compared with the likes of Photoshop. However, the new Windows 10 Paint 3D app has certainly added another dimension to the image editor. One thing you can do with both Paint apps is add a transparent background to a picture so that one image can overlap another.
There are two ways that you can make a picture's background transparent. The first method involves cutting out a foreground area in an image so that the rest of its surrounding background becomes transparent. Then you can paste the foreground over another image. The second method involves deleting an area from a picture so it's left with a transparent area that you can fill by adding a second background image layer.
You can add transparent backgrounds to selected foregrounds with the original Paint. However, that Windows accessory doesn't save transparent backgrounds so that you can combine images with layers.
However, you can set up image layers with transparent backgrounds in Paint 3D. This is how you can make a background 100% transparent in both Paint and Paint 3D.
Add Transparent Backgrounds to Images With Paint
- Open Paint by clicking the Cortana button. Enter the keyword 'Paint' in Cortana's search box, and select to open Paint.
- Next, click File > Open; and select an image to open.
- Press the Select button, and then click the Transparent selection option.
- Select the Free-form selection option on the Select button's menu.
- Trace around a foreground area to preserve from the original picture with the cursor by holding the left mouse button. The rest of the picture left outside the traced area will be the transparent background.
- Right-click within the rectangle that appears around the selected area. Select Cut on the context menu to remove the selected foreground from the picture as in the snapshot below.
- Now open an entirely new image in Paint.
- Press the Ctrl + V hotkey to paste the foreground area you traced from the first image. As that picture now has a transparent background, you can see the rest of the second image behind it as shown below.
- Now left-click the pasted foreground image, and drag it to a suitable position on the background picture.
Add Transparent Backgrounds to Saved Images With Paint 3D
Cutting the foreground out in Paint leaves a blank area in the original picture. However, that does not become a transparent region in the original picture when you save the image. Consequently, the area cut out remains blank when you open the image and utilize layers in other image-editing software as shown in the snapshot directly below.
However, Paint 3D in Windows 10 does save transparent areas in images. Although the app doesn't include a full layers tool, you can also insert one picture on top of another so that it overlaps. This is how you can fill the transparent area left in one picture with a background layer image in Paint 3D.
- Enter 'Paint 3D' in Windows 10's search box. If you haven't had the Creators update, add the app to Windows 10 from this website page.
- Select to open the Paint 3D app below.
- Click Menu > Open > Browse files, and select an image to open in Paint 3D.
- Press the Canvas button to open the sidebar shown directly below.
- Click the Transparent canvas setting on the sidebar.
- Press the Select button, and then drag the selection rectangle over an area of the image to delete.
- Press the Ctrl + X hotkey to cut out the area from the picture as in the snapshot below. That leaves the picture with a blank transparent area that any background layer can fill.
- Click Menu > Save as, and select the 2D PNG option.
- Enter a file title in the text box, and press the Save button.
- Click Menu > New to open a blank canvas.
- Click Menu > Open > Browse files, and select to open a background layer image for the transparent picture you just saved.
- Click Menu > Insert, and select to open the transparent image that you saved. The transparent image will open on top of the background layer as shown in the snapshot directly below.
- As you can see, the background image layer now fills the transparent area in the overlapping picture. You can resize the overlapping picture by moving the cursor to one of the selection border's corners, holding the left mouse button and then dragging the cursor.
- To rotate the foreground picture layer, hover the cursor over the rotation circle at the top of the selection border and hold the left mouse button. Drag the cursor left or right to rotate the selected layer clockwise or anti-clockwise.
So, that's how Paint and Paint 3D users can add transparent backgrounds to images. Then you can combine the transparent images with other pictures by pasting the selected foreground or overlapping them with layers.

Sib Competition and Sperm Competitiveness: An Answer to 'Why so Many Sperms?' and the Recombination/Sperm Number Correlation
J. T. Manning, A. T. Chamberlain
Sperm, or inter-ejaculate, competition leads to the evolution of many sperm per ejaculate. However, sperm competition theory does not predict the correlation between sperm number and chiasma, or that between sperm number and haploid chromosome number. Firstly, we show that phylogenetic inertia cannot account for at least the latter relation, and secondly, a model is presented which incorporates sib competition (intra-ejaculate competition) and sperm competitiveness to explain the relation between sperm numbers and recombination and the question 'Why so many sperms?'. It is argued that if there are deleterious mutations which affect sperm competitiveness this will lead to sib or intra-ejaculate competition. If inter-ejaculate competition also exists, then there will be selection for increased recombination. A chiasmate male heterozygous for n mutations which reduce sperm competitiveness can produce gametes with 0...n mutations. The proportion of gametes with 0 mutations per ejaculate is s = 0.5$^{n}$, which is a small fraction. This means that to ensure on average one sperm with 0 mutations per ejaculate, a chiasmate male must produce 1/s sperm. We may therefore expect that 1/s will be positively correlated with sperm numbers. If inter-ejaculate competition leads to an optimum sperm number of x, then the optimum number of sperm per ejaculate is x/s. Sperm numbers will be increased by: (i) the number of loci which affect sperm competitiveness in the haploid state; (ii) the mutation rate; and (iii) the recombination rate. A correlation between recombination rates and sperm numbers is therefore to be expected.

what is the difference between authentication and authorization
Authentication is the process of obtaining identification credentials such as name and password from a user and validating those credentials against some authority. If the credentials are valid, the entity that submitted the credentials is considered an authenticated identity. Once an identity has been authenticated, the authorization process determines whether that identity has access to a given resource.
The purpose of authorization is to determine whether an identity should be granted the requested type of access to a given resource

Refereed Article Identification key to scarabaeid larvae attacking sugarcane in South Africa
Citation: Dittrich-Schröder, G., Conlong, D.E., Way, M., Harrison, J.duG. & Mitchell, A.. 2009. Identification key to scarabaeid larvae attacking sugarcane in South Africa. Proceedings of the South African Sugarcane Technologists' Association. 82. 500-524.Abstract:
Scarabaeid pests in South Africa and especially KwaZulu-Natal are characterised by a very long larval life cycle and short pupal and adult periods. However, it has nearly always been the adults of the species that have been identified, with very little attention paid to larval identification. This is unfortunate, as it is mainly the larval stage that is found to be associated with crop damage. Inadequate keys for the taxonomy of larvae of these groups, as well as the lack of taxonomists working on these groups have been identified as constraints. Using mitochondrial DNA data variation in the base pair sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase sub unit I (cox 1) gene, sequences of cox 1 from scarabaeid larvae collected from sugarcane fields were compared with sequences from scarabaeid adults of known species in order to identify the species attacking sugarcane. The major groupings delimited specimens belonging to the subfamilies Dynastinae, Melolonthinae and Rutelinae. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of larval specimens was linked with mtDNA of identified adult specimens through phylogenetic analysis. This allowed the identification of those larvae through morphological characteristics unique to certain species. Keys were produced during this study which will allow workers to identify larvae, in many cases to species. Obtaining species identifications for larvae will allow the application of species-specific control measures and also will facilitate analysis of interactions among species. These taxonomic advances are a start to the improvement of knowledge of the species composition of scarabaeid larvae in sugarcane fields, thus making management and biological control of these pests a greater possibility.
