What is significant?
The Shot Tower in Alexandra Parade Clifton Hill was constructed circa 1882 for Richard Hodgson. Alfred Harber and Simon Hughes were the owners in 1887 before Walter Coop, from the well-known Melbourne shot manufacturing family, purchased the premises in 1896. The Shot Tower is a brick tower 80.1 metres high,circular in plan and resembling a tall chimney. The walls are punctuated at regular intervals by semi-circular arched windows and decorative brick bands. The shaft is finely decorated around the openings, and at various levels, with polychrome patterns, and is topped by a small pavilion.
How is it significant?
The Shot Tower is of historical and architectural significance to the State of Victoria.
Why is it significant?
The Shot Tower is of historical significance as a fine example of a rare and distinctive building type and as evidence of an early industrial process. It is probably the largest shot tower in Australia and is certainly taller than the tower now incorporated in the Melbourne Central development. It is also the earliest of the two surviving Victorian shot towers. The tower provides tangible evidence of the process of lead shot production. Its form reflects the shot production process: the shot was produced by dropping molten lead through sieves at the top of the tower into water at the bottom. The height of the tower was necessary to allow the shot to form correctly before reaching the bottom.
The Shot Tower is of historical significance for its long association with the Coop family, who had extensive interests in shot manufacture and smelting? they owned both of the two remaining towers in Melbourne? and as a local landmark for more than a century.
The Shot Tower is of architectural significance as a particularly fine example of an industrial building of the late 19th century. The tower is largely intact and in good condition, a testament to the high quality of the original brickwork. The decorative brickwork is indicative of the pride and investment that went into this industrial structure and as such is symbolic of the significant economic and urban expansion that occurred in Melbourne during the 1880s.

Where there's a Huddle there's a Team
How do you know if the volunteer teams at your church are really working? I don't mean are they getting stuff done and meeting objectives, I mean are they developing people. After all the point of building volunteer teams at your church isn't just to use people to accomplish objectives but rather to create opportunities and relationships to develop people.
Team huddles are one of the most overlooked opportunities by many church staff, and yet they are one of the easiest tactics to implement and they bear a disproportionate amount of fruit.
Simply put where there's a team there's a huddle. No huddle…no team. So go looking for huddles at your church. If you don't see any you may be using people instead of developing them.
Team huddles are evidence of…
When you see a team huddle that means someone is leading. Someone is getting the team together and calling the plays.
When you see a team huddle you can rest assured that someone is doing some planning. They're sharing that plan with the team and helping everyone know how they're going to accomplish what they're going to accomplish that day.
When you see a team huddle you can know that people are working together in a coordinated fashion. Yes someone has planed the plays and called the plays but it takes everyone blocking the right scheme, picking up their individual assignments, running the right routes, and putting the ball where it needs to go at the right time for the team to win. That's called coordination.
You know people are being developed when you see a team huddle. Tasks are being delegated and people are being empowerment to make decisions. Responsibility is being shared and young growing leaders are learning to build trust.
You can know that people are being encouraged when you see team huddles. People are celebrating what was accomplished on the last play and individuals on the team are being called out and honored for doing a great job.
If your church isn't using team huddles try having each volunteer team start and end with a huddle using the tactics above. Try it for 30 days…you may be surprised by the results.

Tearing Down Ministry Silos
One of the common challenges that I see in churches that are stuck is ministry silos. Another word for this is departmentalization. Multiple unique individual ministries operating under one roof. Most churches don't set out this way, but over time they naturally drift towards ministry silos and operating independently from one another. Instead of working with one another, ministries end up competing for volunteers, budget resources, facility space, announcement time, and so on.
The good news is it doesn't have to be this way. In fact here are 5 steps you can take to begin to get rid of silo thinking and behaviors at your church.
1. Share the Mission, Vision & Values
Clearly articulate one mission, vision and set of value statements for the church and then set the expectation that each ministry will live those out within their own context and audience. Allowing segment ministries to develop their own values, vision or mission statements fuels silo thinking.
2. Get rid of Sub-Ministry Brands
Call things what they are. Children's Ministry is Children's Ministry and Student Ministry is Student Ministry (and so on). When you allow segment ministries to develop their own sub-brands not only is it confusing to new people who attend the church to navigate but it encourages silo thinking (it's also more expensive).
3. Coordinated Calendaring Process
Instead of each ministry having their own separate ministry calendars, do the work of annually planning one coordinated ministry calendar for the year. This will force the team to work cooperatively, communicate with one another, understand what each other are doing, and get rid of competing events. You can even take 5 minutes in a meeting once a month to review the upcoming month together and make sure everyone is on the same page.
4. Budget Together
Instead of having each ministry build a budget in isolation and then turn that proposal into an individual or board to make decisions, come together as a team and present your proposals to one another. Then work together to come up with a holistic ministry budget approach for the next ministry year. You know you're getting somewhere when ministry leaders begin to sacrifice financially for one another when they see a proposed initiative or idea from a different segment ministry gets the church further, faster.
5. Replicate Best-Practices
Don't waste time and energy with every ministry department coming up with their own systems for how to do Guest Services, Volunteering, Mission trips, etc. Instead, identify your best practices and the unique approach your church takes to each of these things and then replicate them in each ministry.

First, you may want to have a look at the Appearance settings. By going to the Keeble app, and then selecting Keyboard Settings > Theme > Custom Theme, you can choose your own colors for all the different types of keys (e.g. high-contrast colors that suit the user best) if any of the 5 included themes don't meet the user's needs
Now tap Keyboard Settings, scroll down to the Access section, and make sure that Alternative Access is ON. Next, tap Select, and then tap Select on Release. When Select on Release is ON, Keeble keeps following your finger as it travels over the screen, and only decides which button should be selected when you lift your finger off the screen.
While traveling over the screen, it will mark which button you are touching with your selected Tracking Color and Cue Width, and can even speak each letter that you are touching when Spoken Cue is ON. After making a selection, the key will be marked with the Confirmation Color.
You may also want to check out the Auditory Feedback section. Speak As You Type can give the user confirmation that he or she is typing the correct letters and words. Keeble can speak each key, word, or sentence. In Voices and Speech Rate, you can personalize how Keeble speaks as the user is typing. Note that Keeble's voice feedback does not work when your device is muted.
If the user benefits from Word Prediction, change the Prediction Height to Large and change the Max Numbers of Suggestions to the least suggestions possible. Both features will make it easier for the user to see and access word prediction.

I have an iPad app that contains a webview. The webview's page has a button on it that, when clicked, needs to somehow tell the native app to close the webview. Is there any way to do this? i.e. a way for the javascript in the webview to pass messages to the native app, and vice-versa?

Maybe have an NSNotification fire when an NSString instance field is changed. Use the post here to help understand how to communicate between JavaScript and Objective-C.
Then, it is just a matter of notification and string logic:
Steps for JavaScript to Objective-C:
 1. Web view button is pressed.
 2. JavaScript fires method which returns string.
 3. Local NSString is updated to denote button in Web view was pressed (see post above).
 4. NSNotification fires based on string change.
 5. Objective-C closes the Web view.
Not sure what you want to pass back to the Web view from Objective-C, but the above post should help.

You can consider using -webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType:. Create a dummy link which you can identify and close the web view. As for the other way round, _USER_'s answer sounds appropriate.
share|improve this answer
You can attach any action using
- (NSString *)stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:(NSString *)script
that detects the javascript from your webview!
Here is the doc: _URL_
share|improve this answer
I think the best way is using pseudo image instead.
JS will insert a new image such as: _URL_
And your webview will override NSURLCache to retrieve 1x1 transparent image and parse parameters from you web content.
Note that NSURLCache only cache only one times, so please generate new timestamp for each calls.
This way is work for my project and call native iOS app immediately.

A Definite Assignment Anomaly
A Definite Assignment Anomaly
Rate This
 - Comments 22
UPDATE: I have discovered that this issue is considerably weirder than the initial bug report led me to believe. I've rewritten the examples in this article; the previous ones did not actually demonstrate the bug.
 Consider the following code:
struct S
 private string blah;
 public S(string blah)
 this.blah = blah;
 public void Frob()
 { // whatever
This method body code fragment is legal (though probably ill-advised):
S s1 = new S();
Every struct has a default constructor which initializes its fields to their default values; this frobs the zero handle.
What about this?
S s2;
Looks like a definite assignment error, doesn't it?
An interesting and little-known fact about the C# compiler is that this is reported as a definite assignment error if the struct is compiled from source code, but not if the struct is in a referenced assembly! What is the reasoning behind this seemingly anomalous behaviour?
Well, consider the following related situation:
struct SS
 public int x;
 public int y;
 public void Bar() {…}
Here we have the pure unadulterated evil that is a mutable value type. Is this legal?
SS ss;
ss.x = 123;
ss.y = 456;
Yes, that is legal. The local variable s essentially has two sub-variables, x and y. If x and y are both definitely assigned, then s is also considered to be definitely assigned. When checking definite assignment on a struct, the compiler actually checks to see whether we know that every field of the struct has been initialized. A constructor call is assumed to automatically initialize every field, but if there is not a constructor call, then we simply track every field independently and then pool the results. (And if the fields are themselves of value type, we do so recursively of course.)
The anomaly happens because when the compiler sees that the type in question is in source code, it tracks the definite assignment of all the fields, detects that "s1.blah" is an unassigned field, and gives a definite assignment error on s1. But when the type in question is from a referenced assembly, the compiler ignores inaccessible fields of reference type. We see that there were zero fields initialized out of the zero accessible fields that needed to be initialized, and declare that s1 must be fully assigned!
UPDATE: Initially I thought this behaviour was odd and undesirable but plausibly justifiable. However I have since learned that in fact, for reasons still obscure to me, the compiler only ignores inaccessible fields of reference type. Inaccessible fields of value type are still tracked for definite assignment. This weird inconsistency points strongly in the direction of this being a bug, not a feature. Continuing with my original text...
This behaviour is undoubtedly weird; whether it is desirable or not is a judgment call. There certainly is an argument to be made that the user has no ability to do anything about a private field on an imported type; a type they almost certainly did not author themselves, do not know the details of, and cannot change. Whereas if the type is in source code, then the user running the compiler has personal knowledge of its internals. So, the argument goes, we should give the user a pass on having to prove that the fields they cannot access and know nothing about are assigned; just let them be assigned to their default values and don't worry about them.
There is also the (more compelling to me) argument that we ought to be consistent here and either consider all the fields all the time, or consider only the accessible fields all the time, rather than swapping back and forth between the two choices depending on the details of the compilation process. My choice would be the former; force the user to call the default constructor or use the "default(T)" operator if they really want the all-zero default version of the struct. That makes the intention very clear in the code.
Unfortunately, though I think I've argued that this behaviour is plausibly undesirable, we're stuck with it. There are numerous BCL structs which have no public fields, and lots of existing code which uses them without calling the default constructor. Changing now to make this an error is a breaking change with no compelling benefit, and we're not going to do that. Particularly since the anomaly is essentially harmless; whether we force you to say "s1 = new S()" or not, the handle field is in practice always initialized to its default value.
Nor do I think we should change this by making the code legal in all cases, even if the type is in source code; that's making a bad situation worse merely in order to achieve consistency. This seems like the very definition of "foolish consistency".
 - This is an interesting case. I was not aware there were situations where the compiler would allow you to declare a local instance without either initializing it or calling a constructor explicitly. Back in my C++ days, I recall many a time when local instances would be declared using a constructorless notation:
 S s1; // default constructor automatically called
 I always found this notation confusing - particularly since to following is also legal, but much more obvious:
 S s1 = S(); // also legal but clearer
 - _USER_:
 When compiling the version which is in the same assembly, does it complain regardless of the contents of Frob(). Or does it actually check whether Frob() references fields, and complain about those specifically?
 To be more precise, say I have Frob implemented thus:
 void Frob() { handle =...; }
 Would it still complain about the lack of definite initialization? If not, and if I call Frob on uninitialized handle, will it recognize s.handle as initialized after Frob returns for the purposes of definite initialization? Or does it generally assume that any method call on a struct will access all its fields?
 (I kinda have to ask because the behavior that you describe only makes some sense to me if compiler actually does cross-method boundary analysis for definite assignment for methods for which it has the source code).
 _USER_: your second C++ snippet requires a copy constructor to exist (even if it's optimized away, which it legally can be), while the first one does not, so there is a difference. I don't really have a problem with the parentheses-less syntax as such; the real evilness of C++ is the distinction between POD and non-POD, and initialization thereof.
 We do not do cross-method analysis. Basically, it's analyzed as though the code
 was actually written as
 MyHandle.Frob(ref h1);
 Since we are passing a variable as "ref", it must be definitely assigned before the method call. We check definite assignment on structs by verifying that all known fields of the struct are fully assigned. In the "import from metadata" case, we don't even load information about private fields off of the disk, so as far as we know, its fully assigned. But in source code, we have all the private field info available in memory already, and we use it. -- Eric
 - Is this behavior in line with the specification?
 Good question. The spec says "A struct-type variable is considered definitely assigned if each of its instance variables is considered definitely assigned." Notice that it does not say "each of its accessible instance variables'. So technically, I suppose this is a violation of the specification. -- Eric
 - Pavel does make a point though.
 Suppose I have this silly mutable value type:
 public struct Point {
 public int X { get; set; }
 public int Y { get; set; }
 public Color Color { get; set; }
 public void GetColorFromWhatever(Whatever) {
 Color =...;
 and I call
 Point p;
 p.X = x;
 p.Y = y;
 Obviously (obvious to the programmer, not to the compiler), this is what I meant to do albeit a bit awkward. I don't really want to assign color since it's a calculated value. But I have to either do
 Point p = new Point();
 p.Color = dummy;
 I was willing to accept that - I prefer calling the constructor anyway. But now you tell me that if Color was a struct in a different assembly it would work - now that suddenly doesn't make sense.
 - [quote]Every struct has a default constructor which initializes its fields to their default values[/quote]
 This is the real problem IMHO. As far as I'm concerned, there should never be an implicit parameter-less (default) constructor - if the dev wanted the object to be called with a parameter-less constructor, it would be in the definition. I've been bitten by this back in my C++ days (though for the life of me I don't remember the context, only that it was a PITA to track down), and hoped that C# was immune to it.
 I'm sure there is some reason for it, but does that reason outweigh the problems?
 - An important case to consider in this discussion is this one:
 S[] sArray = new S[_PHONE_];
 If you require me to call S's constructor, how will you make sure I call it for all the values of this array?
 In the case of arrays of classes, it's simple, because they're initialized to null, which means to class exists yet. But in the case of a value type, as soon as you allocate space, you have a struct.

What is the capital city of Chile?
The capital city of Chile is Santiago.
What is the time in Santiago?
It is 2 hours ahead of Washington, D.C. during Standard Time; Santiago's timezone is UTC-3.
What is the Internet code for Chile?
The Top Level Domain (TLD) for Chile is:.cl
What is the size of Chile?
The territory of Chile is total: 756,102 sq km; land: 743,812 sq km, water: 12,290 sq km.
If we want to describe the size of Chile's territory is somewhat smaller than twice the size of Montana.
If we would like to walk around and discover Chile, we can cover a total distance: 7,801 km.
What is the water coverage of Chile?
We have already mentioned what Chile percentage is covered by water (see below), and this includes a 6,435 km coastline.
What is the climate like in Chile?
Chile's climate is temperate: a desert in the north: the Mediterranean in the central region: cold and damp in the south.
Geographical data of Chile
Chile's elevation; mean elevation: 1,871 m, elevation extremes; lowest point: Pacific Ocean 0 m, highest point: Nevado Ojos del Salado 6,880 m.
Chile's specific geographical details include low coastal mountains, fertile central valley, and the rugged Andes in the east.
Suppose we would like to describe the countries location from a different perspective. In that case, it is safe to say, and easy to read from a map, Chile is the longest north-south trending country in the world, extending across 39 degrees of latitude; strategic location relative to sea lanes between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans (Strait of Magellan, Beagle Channel, Drake Passage); Atacama Desert – the driest desert in the world – spreads across the northern part of the country; the crater lake of Ojos del Salado is the world's highest lake (at 6,390 m).
Resources and land use of Chile
The country's main mined products are copper, timber, iron ore, nitrates, precious metals, molybdenum, hydropower. The population partly uses the earlier highlighted land territory and partly left in its natural state: agricultural land: 21.1%; arable land 1.7%; permanent crops 0.6%; permanent pasture 18.8%; forest: 21.9%; other: 57% (2011 estimate).
Population data of Chile
The number of inhabitants of Chile is 17,650,114 (July 2016 estimate).
If we examine the proportion of the population distribution, it is safe to say that 90% of the population is located in the middle third of the country around Santiago's capital; the far north (anchored by the Atacama Desert) and the extreme south are relatively underpopulated.
If we look at the proportion of the urbanized and barely populated areas, these are the figures: urban population: 89.5% of the total population (2015).
Most of the population in Chile is concentrated in SANTIAGO (capital) 6.507 million; Valparaiso 907,000; Concepcion 816,000 (2015).
Ethnicity in Chile
According to ethnicity details, the ethnic groups are white and non-indigenous 88.9%, Mapuche 9.1%, Aymara 0.7%, other indigenous groups 1% (includes Rapa Nui, Likan Antai, Quechua, Colla, Diaguita, Kawesqar, Yagan or Yamana), unspecified 0.3% (2012 estimate).
Spoken languages in Chile
The spoken languages in Chile are the following: Spanish 99.5% (official language), English 10.2%, indigenous 1% (includes Mapudungun, Aymara, Quechua, Rapa Nui), other 2.3%, unspecified 0.2%. Note shares sum to more than 100% because some respondents gave more than one answer on the census (2012 estimate).
What are the most important religions in Chile?
According to this, during the general census, researchers examine the churches: Roman Catholic 66.7%, Evangelical or Protestant 16.4%, Jehovah's Witnesses 1%, other 3.4%, none 11.5%, unspecified 1.1% (2012 estimate).
Further population data of Chile
The proportion of gender and age tells a lot about the society as follows 0-14 years: 20.27% (male 1,825,115 / female 1,751,977) 15-24 years: 15.45% (male 1,391,522 / female 1,335,933) 25-54 years: 43.17% (male 3,804,037 / female 3,816,114) 55-64 years: 10.6% (male 880,014 / female 990,969) 65 years and over: 10.51% (male 776,340 / female 1,078,093) (2016 estimate). It also a significant factor in a society the population growth rate, which in the case of Chile is 0.8% (2016 estimate).
The population growth rate is based on two elements, the birth, and the death rate. In Chile the birth rate is 13.7 births / 1,000 population (2016 estimate), the death rate 6.1 deaths / 1,000 population (2016 estimate).
In this day and age in developed societies, the first child borns later compared to the previous centuries and decades, so childbearing is extended. In Chile, the average age of mothers at the first childbirth is N/A.
Although the children's birth is postponed in the best-case scenario, the parents can still see their kids grow as life expectancy also extended. In the case of Chile, these figures are. With the introduction of modern medicine, vaccinations, and the proper hygienic conditions, the infant mortality rate is in a steep decline. The infant mortality statistics in Chile are the following: N/A. Relevant data is the budget of healthcare, which is in the case of this country is 7.8% of GDP (2014).
Economic data of Chile
Suppose we would like to describe a country. We also have to mention its economy; Chile has a market-oriented economy characterized by a high level of foreign trade and a reputation for strong financial institutions and sound policy, giving it the most robust sovereign bond rating in South America. From 2003 through 2013, real growth averaged almost 5% per year, despite the slight contraction in 2009 that resulted from the global financial crisis. Growth slowed to an estimated 1.7% in 2016. A continued drop in copper prices prompted Chile to experieChile deepened its longstanding commitment to trade liberalization with the signing of a free trade agreement with the US, which took effect on 1 January 2004. Chile has 22 trade agreements covering 60 countries, including agreements with the EU, Mercosur.
The Chilean Government has generally followed a countercyclical fiscal policy, accumulating surpluses in sovereign wealth funds during periods of high copper prices and economic growth, and generally allowing deficit spending only during periods of low coIn 2014, President Michelle BACHELET introduced tax reforms aimed at delivering her campaign promise to fight inequality and to provide access to education and health care. The reforms are expected to generate additional tax revenues equal to 3% of Chile's.

Responsibilities of a Nursing Assistant for a Diabetic Patient
Growth Trends for Related Jobs
Nursing assistants work under the supervision of registered nurses and are often the person who is most involved in the day-to-day care of the patient. A nursing assistant may have contact with the diabetic patient in a clinic, in the community, or in a hospital. Much of his role involves monitoring the patient's condition, and helping her to manage it as effectively as possible. The nursing assistant can play a crucial part in helping the person with diabetes to maximize her quality of life.
The nursing assistant together with the RN helps educate and inform the patient about effective diet management. Diet, particularly carbohydrate control, is central to diabetes. Many diabetic patients struggle with this aspect of their condition. Some patients may instinctively reject some of this advice. The nursing assistant can often form a trusting relationship with the patient, where such issues can be discussed in a constructive way.
The nursing assistant monitors all aspects of the diabetic patient's care. She may carry out routine urinalysis, record the results, and immediately report any abnormailitie. The nursing assistant often carries out blood glucose monitoring and reports and records the results. Any changes in the patient's level of consciousness, or behavior will also be noted and reported by the care assistant. Some nursing assistants are trained to assist with insulin pump therapy.
The nursing assistant should be trained to recognize complications and to act immediately, informing the nurse in charge or the physician. The obvious acute complications occur when there is an imbalance between the glucose and insulin levels. Good care can help the patient avoid some of these complication. The nursing assistant should help the patient with hygiene needs, ensuring that he regularly attends the podiatry clinic and has regular eye tests.


text: The Dunsink Observatory is an astronomical observatory established in 1785 in what was then outside of Dublin by Trinity College Dublin. The site was selected for its elevated position and views over the surrounding landscape. At the time, Dublin was four miles away and Finglas was a small village, a perfectly dark location, far from the city lights, for star-watching. The design of Dunsink incorporated a number of novel ideas. The main telescope was mounted on a granite pier which is independent of the building that surrounds it. Circulation of air within the dome was intended to give sharper images of the stars. The observatory was restored in recent years. The telescope, then no longer state of the art, was used mainly for public 'open nights'.

how to find expired accounts: Netwrix Auditor User Accounts Expired report
Quickly Find Expired User Accounts Instead of Scripting in PowerShell
As a part of security management best practices, Active Directory administrators have to find expired user accounts so they can remove or disable them before an attacker has time to take them over. User accounts for vendors or contractors are often needed only temporally, but even if the IT team sets an expiration date, a malicious actor can reset the date by running a simple ADAccount cmdlet and then use the account as a backdoor to gain access to IT systems like Windows Server and Microsoft Active Directory. Therefore, it's critical to ensure that you know about all expired user accounts in your Active Directory and delete any of them that are no longer needed to minimize risk and make your IT environment more secure.
Of course, you can get AD user expired accounts using PowerShell. However, it does requires skill, time and effort to write a Windows PowerShell script, pull the required data from your domain and compile a report.
Unlike PowerShell commands and legacy software solutions, Netwrix Auditor for Active Directory makes it easy to quickly get expired users. In a few clicks, you can find any user accounts that expired, so you can determine whether they are still needed or can be deleted as part of IT housekeeping procedures. You can easily filter the results and export the list of expired user accounts to any of multiple file formats, including CSV. And you can subscribe to the report to stay current on any changes to the list of expired user accounts to improve the security of your IT environment.

A servohydraulic fatigue testing machine is usually used to perform a fatigue test. This consists of a hydraulically operated actuator fitted into a high stiffness load frame to apply the load to the specimen. Because the system is hydraulically operated, it is possible to achieve both high loads and high cyclic frequencies.
The test system should be fitted with a control system that is capable of controlling the test and measuring data at high frequencies. It is also important that the load measurement system can accurately measure specimen load, and compensate for load errors induced by the dynamic movement of the test system.
Some typical materials that are subjected to fatigue testing:
- Structural Components
The following ASTM standards apply to fatigue testing:

When you run Perfmon.exe with the Active Directory Diagnostics template to generate a report on a Windows Server 2008-based domain controller, the process may stop responding.
This issue occurs because the Reliability and Performance Monitor (Perfmon.exe) console that is running the TraceRpt.exe tool consumes too much memory and CPU resources during the report generation process. If the Windows Server 2008-based server is really busy and lacks resources, the report generation process will stop responding.
To resolve this issue, copy your files to a different computer that has same server role and that has enough hardware resources. Then, run TraceRpt.exe with the files. To do this, follow these steps:
In the Reliability and Performance Monitor (Perfmon.exe) console, click Data Collector Sets, and then click System.
Right-click Active Directory Diagnostics, and then click Start. The file collection process starts on the Windows Server 2008-based domain controller.
After the report status changes to generating report from collecting data for , copy the files to the second Windows Server 2008-based domain controller.
Note You can find the files at the following location:

two people speaking in a video conference
Technology can help you to make a Will during the current measures to manage the coronavirus outbreak.
Here are some things to think about.
Video conferencing
This is certainly one way that technology can help you to prepare your Will. It's so much easier to discuss things when you can see someone.
The process, known as 'taking instructions', can be done via a video conference, and your Will can then be drafted and sent via email or post. Once you have reviewed your draft Will you can have another video conference to go through it in detail and to agree any amendments before the final version is sent to you.
Before taking part in a video conference with your Will writer it is a good idea to collect as much information as you can. This could include a list of your assets such as property, your car, any collections of jewellery or art for example. It's also worth checking your bank accounts, ISAs, investments and savings, because many of us forget what we have.
You will need to appoint someone as your executor to carry out the terms of your Will. Think about who this should be and, ideally, check with them to make sure they are happy to act on your behalf.
Write down any questions you would like to ask, so that you can tick them off as they are covered in the video conference, and so that you remember to ask them at the end if they haven't been answered.
However, your Will can't be witnessed during a video conference. Your witnesses must by physically present when you sign your Will.
Validity of your Will
This is the part of the process that can't yet be replaced by technology. To make a valid Will you must sign and date it and this must be witnessed by two people who are present at the same time. While there have been discussions about changing this requirement during the coronavirus outbreak, it hasn't yet been changed.
Your witnesses must be independent and not related to you. If beneficiaries of your Will or their spouses or civil partners are witnesses, they will lose their inheritance.
However, there are a lot of different ways to make sure your Will is properly signed and witnessed while still following the social distancing rules
Proof of identity
Whoever is helping you to prepare your Will must confirm your identity. This might involve sharing the details of your:
birth certificate
driving licence
armed forces ID card
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) tax document (such as a self-assessment tax return)
police or other government department ID card
benefit book or notification letter outlining your right to benefits.
They will also need proof of residency. As long as you haven't already used them as proof of your identity, you can do this with:
a household utility bill (gas and electricity, dated within the last three months)
driving licence
bank statement
benefit book or notification letter, outlining your right to benefits
house or car insurance certificate
Council Tax statement
local authority rent card or tenancy agreement.
While it's important that you can prove who you are and your address, this information could also be used by criminals to steal your identity, so you must be confident that you are working with a legitimate, trained and regulated professional. Check the company's registration at Companies House and look for independent reviews and testimonials.
If you or anyone you know would like more advice on creating or amending a Will during the coronavirus outbreak, please do get in touch

Tioga River (Chemung River)
The Tioga River (// TIE-o-guh) is a tributary of the Chemung River, approximately 58 miles (93 km) long, in northern Pennsylvania and western New York in the United States. It drains a region of ridges in the northern Allegheny Plateau in the watershed of the Susquehanna River.
It rises in the mountains of western Bradford County and flows initially southwest into Tioga County, passing through Tioga State Forest. In southern Tioga County it turns north, cutting gaps in four separate ridges while flowing past Blossburg and Mansfield, then through Tioga Reservoir. North of Tioga it receives Crooked Creek from the west, then crosses into Steuben County, New York, near Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania. It receives the Cowanesque River from the west approximately 1 mi (2 km) north of the state line, then receives the Canisteo River from the west in southwestern Steuben County, approximately 10 mi (15 km) southwest of Corning. It joins the Cohocton River at Painted Post, just west of Corning, to form the Chemung, a tributary of the Susquehanna.
In the 19th century the Tioga Valley supported a large shipbuilding industry. Logs were floated down the Tioga and the Chemung to the Susquehanna River and on to the Chesapeake Bay and the shipyards of Baltimore.
Tioga Reservoir
The Tioga River has one major impoundment, the Tioga Reservoir, formed by a dam just after the borough of Tioga, Pennsylvania and just before it receives Crooked Creek. The lake has a surface area of 498 acres (2.02 km2) and is administered by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, which built the Tioga Dam from 1973 to 1979. Built together with the adjoining Hammond Dam and Hammond Lake (on Crooked Creek), the total project cost $200 million.
The dam projects were initially authorized by the United States Congress in the Flood Control Act of 3 July, 1958 (Public Law 85-500). Construction was begun in the aftermath of the devastating floods caused by Hurricane Agnes in June 1972. A channel connects the two lakes so that Hammond Lake (which has greater storage capacity) may be used to store excess (flood) water from Tioga Lake.
However, in addition to flood control on the Chemung and Susquehanna rivers, the dams are also meant to help decrease the acidity of water in the Tioga River downstream of the dams by dilution with the more neutral waters of Crooked Creek. The Tioga River's acidity is caused by acid mine drainage.

call them and modify them using a simple dot operator. For example:
_TAG_ Index(['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'], dtype='object'
The assignment operator is the best way to modify this attribute:
df.columns = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

How to Deal With Missing Data in Pandas DataFrames
In an ideal world we will always work with perfect data sets. However, this is never the case in practice. There are many cases when working with quantitative data that you will need to drop or modify missing data. We will explore strategies for handling missing data in Pandas throughout this section.
The DataFrame We'll Be Using In This section
We will be using the np.nan attribute to generate NaN values throughout this section.
_TAG_ nan
In this section, we will make use of the following DataFrame:
df = pd.DataFrame(np.array([[1, 5, 1],[2, np.nan, 2],[np.nan, np.nan, 3]]))
df.columns = ['A', 'B', 'C']
A Pandas DataFrame With Missing Data
The Pandas dropna Method
Pandas has a built-in method called dropna. When applied against a DataFrame, the dropna method will remove any rows that contain a NaN value.
Let's apply the dropna method to our df DataFrame as an example:
A Pandas DataFrame After Using Dropna
Note that like the other DataFrame operations that we have explored, dropna does not modify the original DataFrame unless you either (1) force it to using the = assignment operator or (2) specify inplace=True.
We can also drop any columns that have missing values by passing in the axis=1 argument to the dropna method, like this:
A Pandas DataFrame After Using Dropna On Its Columns
The Pandas fillna Method
In many cases, you will want to replace missing values in a pandas DataFrame instead of dropping it completely. The fillna method is designed for this.
As an example, let's fill every missing value in our DataFrame with the?:
A Pandas DataFrame After Using Fillna
Obviously, there is basically no situation where we would want to replace missing data with an emoji. This was simply an amusing example.
Instead, more commonly we will replace a missing value with either:
 - The average value of the entire DataFrame
 - The average value of that row of the DataFrame
We will demonstrate both below.
To fill missing values with the average value across the entire DataFrame, use the following code:
To fill the missing values within a particular column with the average value from that column, use the following code (this is for column A):
The Pandas groupby Method
In this section, we will be discussing how to use the pandas groupby feature.
What is the Pandas groupby Feature?
Pandas comes with a built-in groupby feature that allows you to group together rows based off of a column and perform an aggregate function on them. For example, you could calculate the sum of all rows that have a value of 1 in the column ID.
For anyone familiar with the SQL language for querying databases, the pandas groupby method is very similar to a SQL groupby statement.
It is easiest to understand the pandas groupby method using an example. We will be using the following DataFrame:
df = pd.DataFrame([ ['Google', 'Sam', 200],
 ['Google', 'Charlie', 120],
 ['Salesforce','Ralph', 125],
 ['Salesforce','Emily', 250],
 ['Adobe','Rosalynn', 150],
 ['Adobe','Chelsea', 500]])
df.columns = ['Organization', 'Salesperson Name', 'Sales']
An Example Pandas DataFrame That We'll Be Using To Demonstrate Groupby
This DataFrame contains sales information for three separate organizations: Google, Salesforce, and Adobe. We will use the groupby method to get summary sales data for each specific organization.
To start, we will need to create a groupby object. This is a data structure that tells Python which column you'd like to group the DataFrame by. In our case, it is the Organization column, so we create a groupby object like this:
If you see an output that looks like this, you will know that you have created the object successfully:
Once the groupby object has been created, you can call operations on that object to create a DataFrame with summary information on the Organization groups. A few examples are below:
_TAG_ mean (or average) of the sales column
_TAG_ sum of the sales column
_TAG_ standard deviation of the sales column
Note that since all of the operations above are numerical, they will automatically ignore the Salesperson Name column, because it only contains strings.
Here are a few other aggregate functions that work well with pandas' groupby method:
_TAG_ the number of observations
_TAG_ the maximum value
_TAG_ the minimum value
Using groupby With The describe Method
One very useful tool when working with pandas DataFrames is the describe method, which returns useful information for every category that the groupby function is working with.
This is best learned through an example. I've combined the groupby and describe methods below:
Here is what the output looks like:
An Example Pandas DataFrame That We'll Be Using To Demonstrate Groupby
The Pandas concat Method
In this section, we will learn how to concatenate pandas DataFrames. This will be a brief section, but it is an important concept nonetheless. Let's dig in!
The DataFrames We'll Use In This section
To demonstrate how to merge pandas DataFrames, I will be using the following 3 example DataFrames:
df1 = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['A0', 'A1', 'A2', 'A3'],
 'B': ['B0', 'B1', 'B2', 'B3'],
 'C': ['C0', 'C1', 'C2', 'C3'],
 'D': ['D0', 'D1', 'D2', 'D3']},
 index=[0, 1, 2, 3])
df2 = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['A4', 'A5', 'A6', 'A7'],
 'B': ['B4', 'B5', 'B6', 'B7'],
 'C': ['C4', 'C5', 'C6', 'C7'],
 'D': ['D4', 'D5', 'D6', 'D7']},
 index=[4, 5, 6, 7])
df3 = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['A8', 'A9', 'A10', 'A11'],
 'B': ['B8', 'B9', 'B10', 'B11'],
 'C': ['C8', 'C9', 'C10', 'C11'],
 'D': ['D8', 'D9', 'D10', 'D11']},
 index=[8, 9, 10, 11])
How To Concatenate Pandas DataFrames
Anyone who has taken my Introduction to Python course will remember that string concatenation means adding one string to the end of another string. An example of string concatenation is below.
str1 = "Hello "
str2 = "World!"
str1 + str2
_TAG_ 'Hello World!'
DataFrame concatenation is quite similar. It means adding one DataFrame to the end of another DataFrame.
In order for us to perform string concatenation, we should have two DataFrames with the same columns. An example is below:
pd.concat([df1, df2, df3])
Pandas DataFrame Concatenation Example
By default, pandas will concatenate along axis=0, which means that its adding rows, not columns.
If you want to add rows, simply pass in axis=0 as a new variable into the concat function.
In our case, this creates a very ugly DataFrame with many missing values:
Pandas DataFrame Concatenation Along Columns Example
The Pandas merge Method
In this section, we'll learn how to merge pandas DataFrames.
The DataFrames We Will Be Using In This section
In this section, we will be using the following two pandas DataFrames:
import pandas as pd
leftDataFrame = pd.DataFrame({'key': ['K0', 'K1', 'K2', 'K3'],
The columns A, B, C, and D have real data in them, while the column key has a key that is common among both DataFrames. To merge two DataFrames means to connect them along one column that they both have in common.
How To Merge Pandas DataFrames
You can merge two pandas DataFrames along a common column using the merge columns. For anyone that is familiar with the SQL programming language, this is very similar to performing an inner join in SQL.
Do not worry if you are unfamiliar with SQL, because merge syntax is actually very straightforward. It looks like this:
pd.merge(leftDataFrame, rightDataFrame, how='inner', on='key')
Let's break down the four arguments we passed into the merge method:
 1. leftDataFrame: This is the DataFrame that we'd like to merge on the left.
 2. rightDataFrame: This is the DataFrame that we'd like to merge on the right.
 3. how=inner: This is the type of merge that the operation is performing. There are multiple types of merges, but we will only be covering inner merges in this course.

Did you know that cattle don't get all their permanent teeth until they're 5 years old? The lower front teeth, known as incisors, come in over a period of years, 2 pair at a time, starting with the two center teeth. This means that you can tell the age of your animals by how many of the front incisors they have. You can also tell if an cow is nearing the end of her productive years and is ready to be marketed by looking at the condition of her incisors. This 4 minute video from Mississippi State University will show you how to open the cow's mouth safely to look inside, and then how to figure out how old your animal is based on what you see inside.

TORONTO -- With warm weather approaching and the promise of a "one-dose summer" on the horizon, many Canadians are making plans for the summer and fall, eager for life to get back to pre-pandemic "normal." But not all Canadians are happy to see the end of lockdown life brought about by COVID-19 restrictions.
The term 'cave syndrome' has been bandied about in news headlines and on social media, a term being used to describe people who may not be so willing to resume normal life when the COVID-19 pandemic sees its end. But while it may accurately describe people's genuine struggle to return to normal lives as restrictions ease, psychologists say it's a term that oversimplifies and pathologizes things.
"It's not a syndrome because there could be any number of reasons why people are choosing to stay at home," Steven Taylor, clinical psychologist at the University of British Columbia, told in a phone interview.
This term is gaining popularity before the pandemic has even ended, and it's still too soon to tell how much we'll continue to be affected once the crisis is over.
"At this point it is really hard to assess or understand how severe these issues are because the whole thing is still ongoing," he said. "So someone could be fairly anxious right now about leaving the home, but once the pandemic is over, that person might be fine."
And at this stage in the pandemic, there is no clear ending. What might be the end for one person, won't be the end for another.
"The end of the pandemic is going to be different for everybody. In all likelihood the pandemic is going to evolve into an endemic," Gordon Asmundson, clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of Regina, told in a phone interview.
He said that the term 'cave syndrome' is too broad and encompasses any reason someone might have for not leaving their home, including finding it more convenient to work from home, or cheaper to do online post-secondary schooling.
"Some of those reasons may be adaptive reasons, so they're not really symptomatic of anything," he added.
With a term that includes so many reasons for not wanting to leave the house, or ease COVID-19 restrictions, it could overlook more serious diagnoses at play.
"A key consideration is whether leaving the cave is an inconvenience or an emotional burden, and almost insurmountable challenge, and in the latter case, there might be other diagnoses that are more specific and helpful," said Asmundson.
It could prevent people from realizing their issues with leaving the house are more severe than general convenience and enjoying alone time. It could mean missing that someone is staying home because of depression or a panic disorder.
"If you call this a syndrome, then the problem is that you might have missed some of the other disorders," said Taylor.
And there's no need to give a diagnosis to something that creates a feeling of inconvenience more than anything else.
"If it's an inconvenience, but doesn't really affect your functional ability, then those things shouldn't be pathologized," said Asmundson.
It also over emphasizes the mental health issues that psychologists expect to see after the pandemic comes to an end. Early on in the pandemic, Taylor and Asmundson worked together on the impacts of what they call COVID Stress Syndrome, a term used to describe the overwhelming and life-disrupting fear of infection and the consequences of a COVID-19 infection.
"It can over pathologize ordinary anxiety and it's ordinary and normal and expected to be anxious during COVID-19," said Taylor.
He doesn't believe the general stress of the pandemic will have staying power for most people.
"Most people will pick up where they left off and bounce back, but not everyone," said Taylor. "This is a big issue at the moment, trying to estimate the proportion of people who will come through this stressful event and will need psychological help and it's really hard to predict."
This isn't to say that the pandemic hasn't had negative effects on mental health for Canadians.
"The pandemic is having a greater impact on people who have these pre-existing conditions. And then in some people it's creating new conditions, like post traumatic stress disorder, particularly in frontline workers," said Asmundson.
And part of the challenge now is that for most of the pandemic, people with anxiety and panic disorders have been able to stay home and avoid the things that might cause them anxiety, which could actually worsen things.
"Avoidance is one of the key fuels to the fire of anxiety and stress," he said. "It's a really effective coping strategy in the short term, you avoid what stresses you out, you feel better, but in the long term the avoidance comes at a cost and you start missing out on opportunities to learn that you often overestimate the amount of threat that's out there."
Paying attention to how you feel after restrictions have lifted will be very important for those who might be feeling more anxious than usual. If restrictions have lifted but you still fear a trip to the grocery store, it may be something more serious.
"Once the restrictions have lifted and it's gone weeks or months and you're still inside and you're still very frightened, that might be an indication that you might need some help, particularly if the anxiety is interfering with your life," said Taylor.
If you find yourself overwhelmed in the weeks and months after the COVID-19 pandemic comes to an end, or at least when restrictions are lifted, there are free resources available online that Asmundson says are just as good as in-person therapy.
"One of them is called Mind Shift through Anxiety Canada, is freely available and it's an evidence-based online app that people can actually log into and it's like your own personal therapist on the phone, except it's not a person, it's a program," he said.
While 'cave syndrome; might be a catchy name, it doesn't do justice to the reasons people may not want to leave the house, and tries to diagnose people who don't want to return to a pre-pandemic "normal."
"It really overlooks the diversity and reasons why people don't want to go out. It seems to psycho-pathologize all of us who don't want to return to exactly the way things were before."

It's my body: calls to ChildLine Scotland about sexual health and wellbeing
MetadataShow full item record
The last decade has seen increasing efforts by central and local government to target sexual health services and initiatives at young people in order to improve their sexual health. However, for Scotland's Sexual Health Strategy and associated initiatives to be effectively implemented, more information is needed about children and young people's own views, concerns and experiences regarding their sexual health and well-being. This briefing reports on a research study funded by the Scottish Executive and carried out by the Centre for Research on Families and Relationships (CRFR) and ChildLine Scotland to explore over 14,000 calls made to the helpline in this area. Calls to ChildLine Scotland about sexual health and well-being issues, including sexual abuse, have increased steadily over the years and are the primary reason for calling in over a quarter of all calls. These calls reflect children's own agendas, supporting an approach which treats children and young people as competent reporters on their own lives.


text: that the orbital ejecta of the Stickney crater that reimpact Phobos could be responsible for a particular subset of the observed grooves on Phobos. We adopt impact hydrocode iSALE-2D (impact-Simplified Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian, two-dimensional) to simulate the formation of the Stickney crater and track its impact ejecta, with a focus on orbital ejecta with launch velocities greater than the escape velocity of Phobos. The launch velocity distribution of the ejecta particles is then used to calculate their trajectories in space and determine their fates. For orbital ejecta reimpacting Phobos, we then apply the sliding boulder model to calculate the ejecta paths, which are compared with the observed groove distribution and length to search for causal relationships. Our ejecta trajectory calculations suggest that only ~1% of the orbital ejecta from the Stickney crater can reimpact Phobos. Applying the sliding boulder model, we predict ejecta sliding paths of 9−20 km in a westward direction to the east of the zone of avoidance, closely matching the observed grooves in that region. The best-fit model assumes an ejecta radius of ~150 m and a speed restitution coefficient of 0.3, consistent with the expected ejecta and regolith properties. Our calculations thus suggest the groove class located to the east of the zone of avoidance may have been caused by reimpact orbital ejecta from the Stickney crater.


learnyounode Lesson 12 – HTTP Uppercase
For this lesson we need to create an HTTP server that only accepts POST requests. The POST body should be converted to an uppercase string and returned to the client via the server response. Like the previous lessons, the server should listen on the port provided as the first argument to the program (process.argv[2]).
In the previous lesson we learned a little bit about piping and streaming. Although it is not required, the use of the request and response streaming APIs will make this lesson much easier. In addition the, we can use node modules to help us, such as through2-map, which can be used to transform stream data.
My Solution
var http = require('http')
var map = require('through2-map')
var port = process.argv[2]
http.createServer(function (request, response) {
 // check to see if request method is POST
 if (request.method === 'POST') {
 // write request status and content type to resposne head
 // stream request to through2-map with pipe()
 request.pipe(map(function (chunk) {
 // convert request to uppercase string
 return chunk.toString().toUpperCase()
 // stream result to response with pipe()
 } else {
 // write method not allowed error to response header if method not POST
}).listen(+port, function () {
 console.log('Server listening on http://localhost:%s', port)
In the solution above, we are assigning the http and through2-map modules to the variables http and map. We are also assigning the first argument to our program to the variable port.
Next, we a create a server and pass a callback function which accepts a request and response as arguments. Inside of our callback, we are checking to see if the method of the request (request.method) sent to our server is equal to POST. If it is, we are writing status 200 and the content type to the response head and piping the request to the map() method.
The map() method is passed a callback which accepts chunk as an argument. Inside of this callback are returning the value of our chuck, which is converted to an uppercase string with the toString() and toUpperCase() methods. Then we are pining the returned value to the response with the pipe() method.
If the request method is not equal to POST, we are writing status 405 to the response head. Error code 405 is the error code used if a method is not allowed, such as GET.
Finally, we are listening for the port passed as the first argument to the program, coercing the port to a number using the unary + operator, and logging the server location to the console.
For comparison, the official solution is pasted below.
Official Solution
var http = require('http')
var map = require('through2-map')
var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
 if (req.method!= 'POST')
 return res.end('send me a POST\n')
 req.pipe(map(function (chunk) {
 return chunk.toString().toUpperCase()

1. Class Trailer: do you like to draw? Have you ever wanted to see your drawings come to life? This class will teach you how to make a five second animation with as little as 12 drawings For our class project, you will learn how to animate a dog howling, complete with sound effects. Class requirements are that you will need to purchase a program called Rough Animator, which is $5. It runs on a Mac PC or a tablet running IOS Android or Kindle Fire. This class is for beginners or animators looking for an easy to learn program to get into two D hand drawn animation. If you can draw stick figures, you can take this class. Hi there. My name is Patrick Davidson, demographics freelancer and part time animator. I've been animating for over 20 years now, and I've worked on projects from TV commercials to feed your family. I worked mainly in two D or hand drawn animation. My favorite personal animated projects are the Web comedy series Traveling Green Goes and My Action, Siri's Trap. I'm also an ex pats in California living in my new adopted country of Costa Rica, but enough about me. Let's get into this class 2. Setting Up a New Project: Welcome to our class. Let's get started. But switch over here too. Rough animator. And we're gonna hit Start a new project. I'm going to keep the resolution at 7 20 p. 24 frames, so you could do larger if you want. That's what I'm gonna work at and just get situated here. Zoom out with up with command minus man Plus goes larger. Hold the space bar down and you get the hand and you can move the whole canvas around. 3. Overview of Tool Palettes: Here's our timeline up here to give ourselves a more room. And let's just look at the tools real fast. So we came up here to window. We can see there's Maybe there's five main tool palettes. So we've got tools which are your drawing tools, razor etcetera. And we'll get into that tool options, which is this in the bottom right corner here. And you'll see that this will change depending on what? To your in on the right. And then we've got timeline, which is this up top here, and we'll get into that what that's got, then we've got preferences, and this I only use occasionally. So we'll we'll pull that up when we need it. Not needed. Open right now and then. Color palette. We can use that as well, but I'm gonna close it for now. We want black for now. 4. Using the Drawing Tools: So I'm gonna grab the breast tool, and I'm a switch from my house to my pen on my my tablet here. And I just want to do a rough sketch of our dog here. So I'm gonna start making some surks, um, shapes triangle for the nose oval for the ears, and we're gonna do an oval for the body here, give a little tail, and what we want to do is gonna give him a couple of feed in the back and some feet in the front here. We're gonna get him some eyes, couple of circles there, and my eyebrows gonna give him a triangle nose. And at this stage, I just want to sketch quickly We're not doing Then we're not doing going for the world's best drawing right now. We can do that. And later, this is our roofs basically, and that's a good time to come up here. And we're gonna name this layer because that's what we're drawing on here by by default. Gonna call this refs and come back here actually want these, uh, legs to be a little longer. There's a few ways to do that. I'm gonna grab the eraser tool and just erase what I've drawn here. And actually, I want a bigger eraser. So let's go ahead and let's double that up to 50 and you can see that it gets bigger. Let's go ahead and go to 100 and even bigger Still back over to our brush. And let's just give this little port dog Isam feet here, okay? I'll give him a spot on his back. So for the time being, I'm just going to sketch things in. I'm not gonna spend too much time on detail. And was again the Zahra refs. Uh, she was giving lip there. Okay, Um actually, I don't know if I like that years, so let's erase that clean about just a little bit here, My bottom lip. All right, so let's let's go with that. Okay, Now we've got our rough drawing the next. What I want to do is I want to basically do all of my animation as Ruff's, and then we're gonna go back over when we're going to create a new layer on top of the Ruff's and we're gonna do cleaner drawings. What I want to do is just come up here and click Add drawing. Now we're gonna add after or we could duplicate after these air the options it's giving us, Uh, let's try duplicate after, actually. So now you see here we've got two frames and they're the same frame. But what I want to do on the second frame is we're gonna come over here, we're gonna race, and when I raise his whole head and I'm gonna redraw it that way down to redraw the body, go back to my brush and let's draw s'more shapes here a couple of ovals and let's keep drying. So what we're drawing here is we're drawing a dog howling. And as our little guy here is howling, we're gonna have some animation happened. Meantime, let's just do a quick little drawing here. Now we can see is back or his front paw here. Okay, so now we've actually got some animation. You were just the two drawing so we can kind of flip back and forth and you can see the animation. One thing I notice is that kind of drawn him a little bit high. So if I want to move this drawing, I want to move all of my drawings. So the move Multiple drawings. When a center this a little bit Drop him down a little bit. So we hit Edit multiple. When we get our little bounding box here, it looks like you can click and drag this and select. Now we've got both selected as they both have highlighted. So now I want to grab him over here and grab the lasso tool, and we're just gonna grab all of the drawing. And then we could just click and drag and drop him down in the center where we want him. And I believe we can scale up and down ones were in this as well. So when we're done, we just click outside of that and you can see we still got both or all of the frames selected. So we're just going to come up here and select one, and now you can see we've moved all of our drawings at one time, so that's how to do that. 5. Rough Animation: to go back to our brush because what we want to do is at a few details of animation here. And one thing I want to do in the second drawing is I want to add some animation to his tail. So let's come here and let's erase the tail. And then I'm gonna go back to my brush, and then


multiple services
Develop logical data models for the following:
Data model #1
A patient can make multiple appointments to see a provider, but an appointment can only be associated with one patient visit.

TIME LAPSE: Veraison
veraison timelapse
Veraison, pronounced "ver-AY-zhun", is a French term that is used to describe the the onset of ripening, signaled by a change in color of the grapes. Veraison represents the transition from fruit growth to fruit ripening. Many changes in berry development happen during veraison, some very visible, as you can see in this time lapse video. Others are happening inside the grape berries, such as increased sugar levels.

Setting up Assembly Order management in Dynamics 365 Business Central involves:
- Firstly, open "Assembly Setup" page and fill in the "Number Series" fields accordingly.
- Create your first Assembly Item by changing the "Replenishment" system to "Assembly" and the "Assembly Policy" to "Assemble-to-stock".
- In order to assign the sub-items to the BOM, click on "Assembly BOM" and add the items or resources required to make the Assembly Item.
- You can create a "Purchase Order" and purchase the Assembly Item you created directly and it will increment your inventory readings. However this will not consume the child (sub-items) in the related BOM for that item. In order to increase the Assembly Item inventory and decrease the related BOM items, you need to use the "Assembly Orders" page to create an "Assembly Order" and post it.
- When creating Assembly Orders you can include Items as well as Resources and Machines (a type of resource) based on hourly rates.
- Avoid using "non-inventory" items in BOM because combining Inventory and Non-inventory items on the BOM will be refused by the Assembly Order (an error can prevent you from creating an Assembly Order with a non-inventory Item). If you want to account for fees and charges and would like those tracked just like inventory items, using Resources might be an option (if Item Charges are not fit for your business use-case scenario that is).


Efforts aim to reduce burning of sugar cane fields
Smoke fills the air as a sugar cane field burns Wednesday morning near Main Project Road in Schriever.
Chris Heller/Staff

Last Modified: Wednesday, November 13, 2013 at 7:35 p.m.
Like football and the leaves changing colors, burning sugar cane crops is a fall tradition that helps growers but irritates others.
Louisiana farmers are being educated about how to minimize the impact of field burning on the public and there is ongoing research to determine how to lessen the need to burn crops.
The reason the crops are burned is to remove mulch after harvesting so a new sugar cane crop can begin to grow.
Mulch "will actually rot the cane and kill it and the seed bed," said Michael Daigle, president of the Thibodaux-based American Sugar Cane League.
Sugar cane stalks continue to grow for several years — up to four crops of cane from one planting, Daigle said. Even after the surface plant dies, the roots will go dormant in the winter and sprout again when the soil temperature rises.
Without removal, mulch may delay the emergence of plant sprouts by two weeks, and farmers could lose up to 35 percent of the crop, he said.
In recent years, scientists have begun researching ways to reduce and possibly eliminate sugar cane burning but have yet to find a sustainable and cost-effective method to do so. Scientists have experimented with mechanical removal and creating new varieties of cane that can tolerate mulch while still remaining strong and healthy.
"We have conducted at least 10 experiments every season for the last 10 years looking at ways to mitigate the effects of cane mulch," Ryan Viator, former sugar cane researcher with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Research, said last year.
The LSU AgCenter and the state Department of Agriculture and Forestry developed a course to teach farmers about safety, the best time to burn, fire behavior and other burn-management techniques, said Ken Gravois, LSU AgCenter sugar cane researcher.
"It's strongly recommended that farmers and their employees be certified by the state as a certified prescribed burn manager and only burn when the weather conditions are safe," he said.
"(The farmers) get certification and the sugar mills provide weather data to all of the farmers every morning. If the farmer has a field next to a hospital, church, subdivision, and the wind is blowing that way, they can't burn that particular field. They're very conscientious of the environment and their neighbors," Daigle said.
Because cane-burning season coincides with the ragweed allergy season, sometimes it's hard to tell which is affecting a person who gets irritated outside.
Dr. Matthew Beyer, ear, nose and throat specialist with the Hagen-Beyer Clinic in Houma and Thibodaux, said smoke from cane burning can aggravate allergy symptoms but is not always the cause of respiratory illness.
"We'll see patients that come in because their sinuses are irritated, but that's not a true allergic reaction. It's not due to the person's system overreacting to something," Beyer said. "You can think of it as if you inhaled pepper and start sneezing. You're not allergic to pepper, but it causes a response."
To determine the difference between a ragweed infection and smoke irritation, Dr. David Hagen, who works with Beyer, said he'll often look at the patient's medical history and location. If the person is repeatedly being treated for sinus problems around this time of year, it's more likely he or she is dealing with ragweed. However, if the problem is inconsistent and the person is near cane fields, smoke may be the problem.
Smoke irritation, ragweed season, and colds and flu combine to make the late fall and early winter the "upper respiratory tract season," Hagen said
"(The smoke) is kind of like the straw that broke the camel's back. All of those things are hitting at the same time," he said.
Doctors said some people are more sensitive than others to smoke and similar irritants. That can depend on family history or other conditions like asthma or sinus problems.
To minimize the impacts of smoke on your respiratory system, you should stay indoors during the peak cane-burning hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Using a sinus rise can also help alleviate symptoms. But if it doesn't, you should visit your doctor.
The amount of patients being seen as a result of the cane smoke has dropped in recent years because farmers are taking more precautions, Hagen said.
But Beyer said that doesn't mean residents shouldn't be careful.
"There are no known demographic risks of burning sugar cane. But we do know that the smoke is toxic to an extent," Beyer said. "It's just like any other smoke. It's not a major public health risk, but I wouldn't recommend going out and running around in it."

The adoption of 3D Model Based Definition (MBD), PLM, and digital manufacturing technologies requires an unprecedented level of 3D product data precision and accuracy. Therefore, an increasing focus for engineering and manufacturing leaders is minimizing the re-creation of 3D product data. Production pressures drive shop floor behavior, and if 3D MBD models aren't usable in downstream processes, knowledge workers and suppliers are likely to re-design or re-work the models.These scenarios often lead to unidentified and/or undocumented changes, increases in labor costs, and in some cases, product quality issues. Successful model based enterprise (MBE) initiatives reduce these changes by identifying the gaps earlier in the manufacturing process, using real-time methods for finding, documenting, and communicating changes to 3D production data. On Wednesday, November 16, I will host a webinar that coalesces years of ITI project experience and technical expertise into useful insights for addressing what has become a major gap in MBE implementations.
This 30-minute online workshop offers five insights for engineering and manufacturing groups implementing MBE:
- Examining processes and user actions that may prevent downstream reuse of 3D models
- Measuring and documenting manufacturing labor costs due to changes in MBD models
- Evaluating partner and supply chain workflows and processes for potential MBD data quality issues
- Implementing automated methods for identifying upstream and downstream MBD model changes
- Closing the feedback loop by using an instant, automated approach for documenting and communicating change

React Native
Formik is 100% compatible with React Native and React Native Web. However, because of differences between ReactDOM's and React Native's handling of forms and text input, there are some differences to be aware of. This section will walk you through them and what we consider to be best practices.
The gist
Before going any further, here's a super minimal gist of how to use Formik with React Native that demonstrates the key differences:
// Formik x React Native example
import React from'react';
import { Button, TextInput, View } from'react-native';
import { Formik } from 'formik';
export const MyReactNativeForm = props => (
initialValues={{ email: '' }}
onSubmit={values => console.log(values)}
{({ handleChange, handleBlur, handleSubmit, values }) => (
As you can see above, the notable differences between using Formik with React DOM and React Native are:
 1. Formik's handleSubmit is passed to a instead of HTML component (since there is no element in React Native).
 2. uses Formik's handleChange(fieldName) and handleBlur(fieldName) instead of directly assigning the callbacks to props, because we have to get the fieldName from somewhere and with React Native we can't get it automatically like in web (using input name attribute). You can also use setFieldValue(fieldName, value) and setFieldTouched(fieldName, bool) as an alternative.

Bankruptcy Risk and Optimal Capital Structure
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): RICHARD CASTANIAS
- Published: Apr 30, 2012
- Pages: _PHONE_
- DOI: 10.1111/j._PHONE_.1983.tb03845.x
This study finds shortcomings in empirical tests of the capital structure irrelevance hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis is that firms choose value maximizing mixes of debt and equity on account of bankruptcy costs and the tax deductibility of interest payments. Based upon the cross‐sectional implications of the tax shelter‐bankruptcy cost hypothesis, an alternative test of the irrelevance hypothesis is performed. The test examines the relationship between failure rates and leverage ratios for 36 lines of business. The results are inconsistent with the irrelevance hypothesis.

A talking crow - the story
Vintage image of young Eric and tony the crow playing with a GI Joe character
As a boy, Eric had a pet crow named Tony. Eric and his brothers taught him to say a few words like "Hello", "Don't fall", "Play ball". Tony often flew to the elementary school that Eric attended. While he was in class, the special needs children had their recess. One autistic boy in particular would repeat words to Tony and he would repeat them back to him. Through this exchange Tony learned how to count to ten and say his ABC's, and the boy began to talk more with others. The news of Tony spread through the area and was known as Tony, the talking crow.

From Ohio History Central
United Romanian Societies Carpatina of Cleveland
The Carpatina Society is the first Romanian mutual-benefit society in Cleveland, Ohio. It also is the first such society in the United States of America.
Forty-one Romanian Ohioans established the Carpatina Society on November 1, 1902. The society's original purpose was to provide Romanian immigrants with a social and cultural institution to practice traditional Romanian customs and beliefs. The Carpatina Society also provided members with financial assistance if they became ill or helped with funeral costs if a family member died. In 1917, the Carpatina Society built its own meeting hall. The structure was known as Carpatina Hall. Cleveland's Carpatina Society continues to enhance Ohio's cultural landscape at the start of the twenty-first century.

Dermatologist Richard Weller wants to know: Why are Scots so sick?
Edinburgh-native Richard Weller was studying medicine in Australia when something suddenly struck him as odd: Why are the Scots so sick? Australians suffer from heart disease at one-third the rate that Britons do, with lower death rates from heart attacks and heart failure, and fewer strokes overall. When Weller looked into it, this wasn't unique to Australia and England: In fact, there are wide gaps in mortality even within the UK, a gradient which maps roughly... geographically? A five-degree change in latitude -- between London and Edinburg, for example -- shows a nearly 20 percent higher rate of mortality. Weller and his team have been working ever since to crack this mysterious gap, and most recently their research shows it may be related to exposure to sunlight. Nitric oxide (NO), a chemical transmitter produced by the skin and stored in great reserves, is released by exposure to UV rays, and this in turn is very important to cardiovascular health.
Weller is a senior lecturer in Dermatology at the University of Edinburgh. His two areas of study are the role of NO in human skin physiology and the role of skin barrier function deficiencies in atopic disease.
