In contemporary history, physical education in the Philippines developed into the Bureau of Physical Education and School Sports. The nation's Executive Order No. 81 series of 1999 then integrated BPESS into the Philippine Sports Commission, which has since assumed BPESS's departmental roles.Continue Reading
Before the foundation of either BPESS or PSC, the development of physical education in the Philippines was conducted by one of three staff bureaus within its Department of Education, Culture, and Sports. Referred to as DECS, the department began as the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sports under the country's Education Act of 1982. Sports organizations in the early 20th century were cultivated alongside educational programs that were simultaneously sponsored by the government, including the Philippine Amateur Athletic Federation and the Department of Public Instruction.
Passed in 1990, the Republic Act 6847 came to be known the Philippine Sports Commission Act upon its creation as a primary governmental sporting institution, and it continues to function with the Department of Education through collaborating in nationally accredited physical education programs. The Department of Education and the Philippine Sports Commission additionally cooperate in hosting annual sporting events such as the Paralong Pambansa, in which student athletes participate from around the nation.Learn more about Modern Asia

Setting up a co-optation program in your company
Deux collègues souriants
Co-optation program or co-option is on the rise in French companies. According to the Sourcing Cadres barometer carried out by APEC (2019), employee co-optation represented the 4ᵉ channel for hiring executives in 2018. It has to be said that this scheme does not lack advantages. Here are our recommendations for setting up a co-option program in your company.
Co-optation, definition
Let's start by defining the concept of co-optation. It is a recruitment method that allows employees of a company to recommend someone they know for a specific position. The person co-opted can be from the employee's personal or professional network.
Also called "participative recruitment", co-optation allows companies to obtain qualified people at a lower cost.
What is the difference between referral and co-optation?
There is a major difference between these two concepts.
allows a person to obtain a job thanks to the support of an acquaintance with a contact in the company. Co-optation, on the other hand, is more fair play. It involves studying a candidate's CV and then comparing their skills with other applicants.
In other words, before considering a co-opted candidate, the company always ensures that he/she has the skills required for the job. This recruitment by recommendation allows the HR function to identify qualified profiles more easily. Indeed, in the context of a co-optation, the co-opter guarantees the skills of the co-optee. This question of qualifications and skills is completely absent from the principle of referral, which is characterised by an important emotional dimension.
What are the advantages of a co-optation program?
Co-option is effective. At least, that is what many studies prove. According to the APEC Sourcing Cadres barometer cited above, "48% of companies that used employee co-optation to recruit an executive hired someone they knew or recommended.
This success can be explained by the multiple advantages of co-optation:
Co-optation makes it possible to get in touch with highly qualified profiles that may be difficult to reach. By using the network of its employees, the company saves a lot of time: it no longer has to approach attractive candidates. The sourcing work is then done by the employees.
Co-optation also allows access to the "grey zone", i.e. candidates who are not actively looking for a job, but who remain open to opportunities.
Co-optation saves recruiters time. It gives primacy to expert profiles recognised by their peers.
According to a Jobvite study (2012), recruitment by co-optation takes 29 days on average, compared to 39 days for job boards.
Speed also means efficiency. Again according to this study, 47% of co-opted people were still working in the company three years later – compared to 14% for candidates from a job board.
Co-optation helps to strengthen the feeling of belonging among employees and to value them. More than just employees, they become true ambassadors, ready to defend the company's projects, values and culture.
Setting up a co-optation program
As you can see, co-optation is good for your business. But how do you ensure that it is implemented correctly?
Provide a framework
This is a basic piece of advice that applies to any new scheme set up in a company. To avoid any deviation and to implement a rigorous co-optation program, you need to define a clear framework. Who can and cannot be recommended by your employees? Which positions are open for co-optation? Set rules, which reflect your company's values.
Define a clear and structured process
Also try to set up a clear and structured co-optation process. Your employees need to know who to talk to when they want to recommend someone, what tool to use to register the recommendation and to monitor the process.
Motivate and reward employees who coopt
Motivate your staff with incentives. Of course, the commitment of your employees and their goodwill might be enough to get them to adopt this scheme in the first place… But for co-optation to become a reflex for your employees, it is essential to motivate them – and thank them for their efforts, with a co-optation bonus for example, or even bonuses.
At Capgemini, for example, the co-optation bonus varies between 1,200 euros (for the co-optation of a junior profile) and 2,000 euros (for the co-option of a more experienced candidate).
Do not hesitate to be inventive, by proposing competitions or challenges, which would reward the employees who have made the most co-optations over a given period of time…
Valuing co-optation within the company
It is also important to make the most of the co-optation system within your organisation. Your teams must understand all the issues and benefits of this recruitment method. Because they are part of the company, employees are in the best position to recommend profiles. They know the company's commitment, mission and culture, and are therefore perfectly capable of assessing the relevance of a candidate for a given position.
Also remember to alert your troops when a strategic position opens up. Communicate transparently about the talent shortages you are experiencing. In short: rally your employees around your recruitment challenges. If your employees are engaged, they should care!
Equip yourself with software
Think about getting dedicated co-optation software. Today, many solutions such as Social Referral allow you to automate your cooptation process by integrating seamlessly with your ATS.
Co-optation program, points to watch out for
Co-optation can be beneficial in many ways, but it should not be used as a systematic means of recruitment. The reason is simple: diversity and co-optation are not very compatible. Indeed, how can you ensure an inclusive and equal opportunity recruitment system if you only use your employees' network to recruit?
The main limitation of co-optation is obvious. It is a system that gives primacy to the network of its employees. In other words, their former colleagues, classmates, relatives and acquaintances… Identical circles, in short, who share the same training, the same experiences… Beware, therefore, of the culture of the "entre-soi", which is radically opposed to the principle of diversity.
Finally, you must make it clear to your teams that there is a substantial difference between cooptation and referral. Also, make sure that you integrate the recommended candidate into the normal recruitment process. All applicants must be examined in the same way (otherwise, it is no longer a recommendation, but referral!)

The Tin Can Cooker is a homemade outdoor stove that really works. Generations of Scouts have learned to make and use "Buddy Burners" for camping and emergencies. Instead of wood or liquid fuel, the Tin Can Cooker burns a small can of wax and cardboard. A larger can fits over it and holds your cooking pot. Each wax can should burn an hour or more. Make several so you always have one on hand.
1. Curl up strips of cardboard and fit them loosely inside each of your small cans. Leave enough space for wax. Or you can cut short strips and arrange them to form a star that divides the can into pie-shaped slices. The cardboard will act as a wick to get the wax burning across the top of the can. Set the prepared cans on a protected surface, such as a cookie sheet covered in newspaper or aluminum foil. Place it close to where you'll be melting the wax.
2. Break up wax or candles to fit into the top pan of the double boiler. Fill the bottom pan about halfway with water. Fit the top pan into it so it sits above the water. If you don't have a double boiler, set a medium-sized saucepan so it sits over a larger saucepan of boiling water. Turn the stove on medium to heat the water to a steady boil. Let the wax melt until it is completely liquid.
3. Carefully pour the melted wax into the prepared cans. Leave the top edge of the cardboard sticking up above the level of the wax. If your wax starts to harden as you're pouring it, just reheat it to melt it again. Let cool until hardened.
4. Take the large can and remove the entire top with a can opener.
5. Hold the large can with the open end pointing away from you. Take the church key can opener and make 3 or 4 openings at the closed end, around one side, about 1″ apart.
6. Turn the large can so the opening is toward you. You have two options for letting air in at the bottom to feed the flames:
If you don't have tin snips: Use the church key can opener to punch holes all around the open end of the can, about 3″ apart. Take a pair of pliers and fold up the sharp points of metal created by each hole and squeeze them flat.
If you do have tin snips: Create a flap that acts like a fireplace damper to control the airflow. The more oxygen, the higher the flames. Put on heavy work gloves to protect your hands from sharp metal edges. Use the tin snips to cut 2 slits into the side, about 3″ inches long and 3″ apart. Then grab the edge of the can between the slits and bend it outward to make the flap.
7. To use your stove, place the wax can on a flat, nonflammable surface, like a stone paver. Light the cardboard strips, like lighting the wick of a candle. You want the flame to cover the entire top of the can.
When the wax can is lit, adjust the flap on the large can and place it over the smaller can so the holes on the top are facing away from you. (This keeps smoke from blowing in your face.) Now you can cook on top!
Safety Tips for Tin Can Cookery
Tin Can Cookers use an open flame. They can be dangerous, so be sure to follow these safety rules!
- Adult supervision is needed to make and use a Tin Can Cooker.
- Wear heavy gloves when handling cut-metal edges.
- Always keep an eye on melting wax and on the lit cooker. Do not leave them unattended.
- Do not melt wax in the microwave or directly on the stove. Always use a double boiler (or make one from two saucepans).
- Always use hot pads or oven mitts to handle hot pots. Use metal tongs to adjust the cooking can or the wax burner.
- Make sure to use your Tin Can Cooker on a level, fireproof surface, such as a flat paving stone. Watch out for hot liquid wax in the burner — avoid spilling it.
- Do not pour water on burning wax. Use a brick or a metal lid to cover the wax can and smother the flames.
- Tin can cookers can blacken cooking utensils with soot from the burning wax, so don't use them with your best pots and pans.
- Pick up a camping skillet and spatula or small, sturdy garage sale pots and pans and save them just for outdoor cooking.
- Use nonflammable oven mitts and a pair of pliers if you need to adjust the flap while the stove is in use.
- The entire tin can stove gets hot, so never touch it with bare hands while it is lit!
Your Tin Can Cooker is perfect for traditional outdoor fare like grilled cheese and egg-in-a-hole. Find those recipes and more in my book Edible Inventions: Cooking Hacks and Yummy Recipes You Can Build, Mix, Bake, and Grow.

How does the word saturnine derives! if you care why words derive!
Saturnine might have had originated in the fact that Saturn's Equinoxes are month long darkness (lack of sunshine for weeks altogether) as Saturn tilts away from sun (and toward sun) for 90 degree (Earth's 23.44 degree only)! Thats means parts of sun will get no sun-light for several weeks in the culmination of these Saturnine equinoxes.
So saturnine means a person who is gloomy or melancholic. ( — perhaps at-least for longer duration.)
I learned this because I was playing with words when grammar of my computer showed the word and I checked its meaning, I was although writing about equinox of Saturn, I came to learn this, cool is it?

Are you what your actions make you
Shaka Senghor is a man who spent a lot of time in prison for killing a man. He was a smart kid, an honor roll student. Then, at age 17, he was shot on his street. From that moment on, he made many bad decisions and did illegal things. He was a drug dealer and he ran black markets. In prison, he went through a transformation. He started to become a better man, and did things to make him a better person, like reading literature, writing, and learned from other inmates a better way than the way he was going. He talks about how his actions don't make him a bad person nor shape his future. Now, he helps others go through the transformation he did. He helps others live better lives than what they have been living.
This relates to 12 Angry Men because Shaka grew up in a way similar to the boy who was accused of murdering his father. The difference is, Shaka did commit the crime he was accused of, but the boy in 12 Angry Men did not. The court originally blamed the boy's past for the potential murder. They thought because of his past actions, he was a bad man. Shaka's experience proves otherwise.

(A) Date of entry.
(1) If an opt-in source provided monthly data under rule 3745-103-33 of the Administrative Code, the opt-in source's opt-in permit may become effective at the beginning of a calendar quarter as of January first, April first, July first, or October first.
(B) Prorating by calendar quarter. Where a combustion source's opt-in permit becomes effective on April first, July first, or October first of a given year, the USEPA will prorate the allowance allocation for that first year by the calendar quarters remaining in the year as follows:
Allowances for the first year
(1) For combustion sources that commenced operations before January 1, 1985,
(2) For combustion sources that commenced operations after January 1, 1985,
(3) Under paragraphs (B)(1) and (B)(2) of this rule,
(a) "Remaining calendar quarters" shall be the calendar quarters in the first year for which the opt-in permit will be effective.
(b) Fuel consumption for remaining calendar quarters =
Where unit conversion = 2 for coal
= 0.001 for oil
= 1 for gas
For other fuels, the combustion source must specify unit conversion;
And where starting month = April, if effective date is April first;
= July, if effective date is July first
= October, if effective date is October first

Casey '09 and Owen Publish Paper
"Good News, Bad News, and Consumer Confidence," by Greg Casey '09 and Henry Platt Bristol Professor of Economics of Ann Owen, was published in the March issue of Social Science Quarterly.
The paper examines how consumer confidence responds to changes in economic circumstances. According to Owen, "It finds that consumers respond asymmetrically to economic news, but it does not find evidence for a systematic negativity bias once you allow for consumers to respond differently to different news.
"For example, consumers have a strong negative reaction to increases in the unemployment rate, but not a corresponding positive reaction to decreases in the unemployment rate. However, they also react positively to decreases in gas prices, but there is no evidence that they react negatively to increases in gas prices.
The paper suggests that part of the explanation for these asymmetric reactions is that consumers respond to changes in economic fundamentals relative to their expectations."
The paper grew out of Casey's senior honors thesis in economics, which Owen supervised. Casey is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in economics at Brown University.

The COVID-19 Task Force had a meeting on Thursday, October 28th. Here are the meeting notes from the Augsburg Staff Union representative.
Minnesota Department of Health Updates:
- MDH suggested keeping the masking requirements indoors through the end of November.
- During the MDH meeting, there was a discussion of what not to use antibody testing for.
- MDH has an updated K-12 decision tree which can also be used in the higher education setting.
- MDH is preparing training for those sharing reassuring and accurate vaccine information with the community.
- We are continuing to see a low number of cases per week– both vaccinated and unvaccinated.
- Vaccination numbers (students and faculty/staff) continue incremental improvement.
- Regional transmission is still very active.
- Testing Access Update:
- A summary of testing opportunities will be discussed with Augsburg Day Student Government regarding how to use and share the information.
- Communication Update:
- COVID Policy hold communication has been sent to students, with information to faculty and staff who may get questions from students.
- Federal approval of booster vaccinations added to Outbreak Planning site.
We set up a Google Form so Augsburg Staff Union members could state their questions or concerns to be addressed at the meeting. The following question was requested in advance of the meeting:
- Q: When an Augsburg staff, student, or faculty member gets a booster to their COVID-19 vaccine, do they need to or are they encouraged to report that info to Augsburg? If so, how?
- A: Dawn Miller addressed this briefly during the meeting. HR is waiting for more detailed guidance from OSHA about federal requirements. Employees are welcome to upload their booster information on the Human Resources page, but this is not a requirement at this time. As more information is clarified, this question will be provided a fuller answer at a future meeting.
Please note: Urgent questions related to COVID-19 should not be submitted via the Google Form, those questions should continue to be sent to _EMAIL_, calling _PHONE_, and/or by using the Augsburg self-reporting form.
The interim staff union representative will continue to send weekly updates based on information gathered in the COVID Task Force meetings and questions asked in the google form.

Elbow carrying angle - excessive; Excessive carrying angle of the elbow; Cubitus valgus
When your arms are held out at the sides and your palms are facing forward, your forearm and hands should normally be about 5 to 15 degrees away from the body. This is the normal "carrying angle" of the elbow. This angle allows your forearms to clear the hips when swinging your arms, such as during walking. It is also important when carrying objects.
Certain fractures of the elbow can increase the carrying angle of elbow, causing the arms to stick out too much from the body. This is called an excessive carrying angle.
If the angle is decreased so that the arm points toward the body, it is called a "gunstock deformity."
Because the carrying angle varies from person to person, it is important to compare one elbow with the other when evaluating a problem with the carrying angle.

text: Tempo is a declarative concurrent programming language based on classical first-order logic. It improves on traditional concurrent logic programming languages (e.g., Parlog) by explicitly specifying aspects of the behaviour of concurrent programs, namely their safety properties. This provides great advantages in writing concurrent programs and manipulating them while preserving correctness. The language has a procedural interpretation that allows the specification to be executed, also concurrently. Tempo is sufficiently high-level to simulate practical concurrent programming paradigms, and can act as a common framework in which algorithms for a variety of paradigms may be expressed, compared, and manipulated.

How has the changing nature of society and communal values resulted in law reform?
As societies and social values evolve, law reform is implemented to ensure that the legal system is parallel to changing communal values. In the aspect of family law, law reforms have been initiated in a range of aspects such as parental responsibility, alternate family relationships, surrogacy, birth technologies and more.
Alternate family relationships:
Whilst previously the general idea of family was a married couple with children, changes in social and communal values have resulted in alternate family arrangements. To mirror this change, the legal system has implemented reform to recognise these alternate arrangements. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Customary marriages:
Previously, ATS customary marriages were not recognised under the Australian legal system as they did not fulfil all of the requirements of the Marriages Act however over time the legal system has recognised that this has resulted in unfair treatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in many instances such as taxation, superannuation, compensation, property and children. Thus, the government now recognises ATS marriages albeit to a limited extent. They are given the same rights as de facto relationships in aspects such as legitimacy of children, adoption, fostering and child welfare laws, distribution of property, intestacy, compensation, superannuation (covered by Social Security Act) and tax rebate. De Facto Couples:
Whilst earlier, society frowned upon couples living together in a bona fide relationship prior to marriage, this has become a common aspect of modern society with a large percentage of couples living together in a de facto relationship prior to marriage and some even opting to not get married. To accommodate for this evolution of communal ideals, reform was implemented through the Property (relationships) Act 1984, providing legal recognition for de facto relationships given...

Treasury bond, for example. Some valuation models use terminology from derivatives markets wherein the strike price corresponds to non-recoverable costs involved with the project. In the derivatives world, the strike would be the price at which the options contract converts into the underlying security that is based on.
Integrating Options and Discounted Cash Flow
Real options must also consider the risk involved, and it too could be assigned a value similar to volatility. Other methods of valuing real options include Monte Carlo simulationswhich use mathematical calculations to assign probabilities to various outcomes given certain variables and risks.
Adjusting for Cost
The real options heuristic is simply the recognition of the value embodied in the flexibility of choosing among alternatives despite the fact that their objective values cannot be mathematically determined with any degree of certainty. Even if a quantitative model is employed to value a real option, the choice of the model itself is based on judgement and often a trial-and-error approach since the choices available can vary across firms and project managers.
Having options affords the freedom to make optimal choices in decisions, such as when and where to make a specific capital expenditure. Various management choices to make investments can give companies real options to take additional actions in the future, based on existing market conditions. In short, real options are about companies making decisions and choices that grant them the greatest amount of flexibility and potential benefit regarding possible future decisions or choices.
Choices that Fall Under Real Options The choices that corporate managers face that typically fall under real options analysis are under three categories of real options method example management.
Navigation menu
The first group are options relating to the size of a project. Depending on the ROV analysis, options may exist to expand, contract, or expand and contract the project over time, given various contingencies. Real options are most appropriate when the economic environment and market conditions relating to a particular project are both highly volatile yet flexible.

Do This Exercise to Improve Your Photography Lighting Skills
Practice makes perfect. Consider football players practicing before a game. While practicing, they do all kinds of things that they wouldn't do during an actual game. In practice sessions, they push themselves and their skills to their limits, because they want to improve their skills, agility, strength, and decision making. As a photographer, you should do the same. In the following video, photographer Mark Wallace from Adorama takes you through an exercise to help you stay on top of your photography game:
To understand how to have better control over lighting as a photographer, Wallace takes you through an exercise similar to what classic painters used: a still life. By shooting still life, you will have a better understanding of how to control specular highlights, shadows, and the direction of light. So follow along and start practicing.
Setup for Still Life Photography Practice
For the practice session, Wallace has the following setup:
 - Leica M10 camera with a 50mm lens, set at f/8 for greater depth of field
 - At the other end of the camera, he has some tomatoes, apples, grapes, and a glass pitcher with potpourri. Note that the fruits, vegetables and the glass pitcher are shiny and have specular highlights.
 - The setup is lit with big windows on the side, and one incandescent light on the top.
Exercise to Control Specular Highlights
Since the items that Wallace has chosen are very shiny, they show off reflections of the light source (specular highlights). The first exercise is to control those specular highlights, as they can be very distracting and difficult to deal with even in post. Here's what Wallace does to control the specular highlights:
 - First off, he starts by taking a photo of the fruit and vegetable setup just using the ambient light. This gives him an idea of how the specular highlights appear in the image.
lighting practice with ambient light
 - Taking inspiration from the classic master painters, he approaches the situation with the idea of getting rid of ambient light by closing the windows.
 - He uses a Profoto B2 with a soft box to light the subject. To avoid specular highlights, he places the light setup close to and behind the subject, also making sure that some amount of light is spilled in front of the subject.
 - He then meters the light by pointing the light meters toward the light (and not the camera) and takes the photo as per the reading to get the following result:
lighting practice using still life
Notice the reflection of chairs on the edges of the glass.
The image looks a lot better. However, there are still specular highlights on the glass due to the reflection of the chairs. By getting rid of the chairs, the result is further improved. Notice how being aware of your surroundings can help you in figuring out issues with your photos.
still life lighting exercise
If you look closely, you can still see the light stand behind the subject. Wallace uses a black cloth to cover it up while using a 12 second timer to delay the shutter release.

lighting practice activity
The light stand is not visible anymore.
Retouching Still Life Images
Once satisfied with the image, Wallace opens it up in Adobe Lightroom and makes use of adjustment brushes to make local corrections. Here is what he does in post:
 - Add some front light to the underexposed areas (tomatoes, grapes, and apples).
 - Make the background more seamless by reducing the exposure on the edge of the cloth.
 - Get rid of the table legs by reducing the exposure.
 - Add some clarity.
 - Experiment with vibrance.
Once happy with the adjustments in Lightroom, he opens up the image in Adobe Photoshop. In Photoshop, using the Analog Efex plug-in, he experiments with various presets until he's happy.
how to practice photography lighting
While retouching, don't over stress yourself. Feel free to experiment and play around until you're happy with the end result. Remember that you're practicing and learning skills that you will use next time you're on an actual photo shoot.

The Red Scarf lotus is a tea cup lotus plant that is very smaller in size compared to the typical hardy lotus plant. This plant has hardy zones of four or higher or less than four with winter protections. The plant has crimson blooms that are reddish pink in color with white centers. Its petals are narrow and located next to the pod giving it a unique look. The flowers open in the mid morning and close in the mid afternoon. Individual flowers can last for three days before their petals can fall.
Newly planted Red Scarf lotus do not always flower during their first year. Full flowering can occur during the early summer season with sunny and warm conditions. The plant can grow up to six inches across, with its leaves growing to ten to twelve inches wide. The Red Scarf lotus plant as a free flowering plant, also produces blooms during its first seasons. It has round bluish green leaves that float on waters. It can grow up to three to four feet tall. This plant can establish well in medium to large ponds.
The unique Red Scarf lotus can performs well when planted in a small to medium sized pond..It can do well in a container since it can be well establish with or without a pond. The plant can be planted in a huge container with a capacity of at least two gallons container. It can do well when planted in a no-hole container. It is considered a true bowl lotus as it can do so well in containers.
The Red Scarf lotus plant can look great in garden beds due to its cupped shaped blossoms in addition to the uniqueness in the flower colors. It is a hardy plant which can tolerate sunny and warm conditions. However, for the plant to establish well, it requires full sun. This type of plant, when planted in a container, can fail to establish if the soil in the container is not well drained. It is important to note that this plant can fail to re-grow if it is placed in cold water as it can return into dormant state.

Fingerprint image enhancement is an essential preprocessing step in fingerprint recognition application. There are many authors proposed the different fingerprint enhancement methods. Most present well-known methods are base on Gabor filters. However, the present proposed Gabor filters almost can not be efficient in some cases such as: the local orientation changes rapidly and the fingerprint image is heavily noisy. This paper proposes a novel filter design technique based on the orientation consistency to improve the Gabor filter with the aim that achieves higher efficiency in clarifying the high curvature ridges of the noisy fingerprint images. It is called adaptive orientation consistency-based Gabor filter (AOC-BGF). Actually, this is the technique which tunes adaptively the Gabor filter window size based on analyzing the orientation consistency. The orientation consistency describes how well the orientations over a neighborhood are consistent with the dominant orientation. The performance of the minutiae detection process on the database FVC2004 DB4 shows the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

Making your own fruit butters and jam from organic dried fruit is easy and less expensive than store bought version. Makes about 32-40 ounces of Fig Jam.
1 pound organic dried figs
3-4 cups water
1. Snip of the hard stem, if any, off of each fig.
2. Place figs in a 3.5 quart saucepan and add 3 cups water to the fruit. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and continue to cook until fruit is soft, about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Remove from heat and puree fruit with a hand blender, food processor or blender. Be careful not to splatter, the fruit is hot. The hand blender is convenient because you can leave the fruit in the pot. The mixture should be very thick. If you prefer a thinner consistency blend in more water.
3. Let cool, store in clean jars or containers and refrigerate.

The kappa effect is a spatiotemporal illusion where duration is overestimated with the increase of space. This effect is typically demonstrated with three successive stimuli marking two neighboring empty time intervals, and the classical imputed velocity model, in principle, does not help to predict any spatial effects when only two stimuli, marking single intervals, are presented on each trial. We thus conducted three experiments, examining requirements for the occurrence of the kappa effect with only two visual stimuli. An interstimulus interval between the two stimuli was 217 (short) or 283 ms (long), and participants categorized the presented interval as'short' or 'long'. The key finding is that participants tended to respond'short' more frequently than 'long' when both stimuli were delivered from the same location, whereas the relative frequency of 'long' responses was increased when the two stimuli were delivered from different locations in most directions (i.e., horizontally, vertically, diagonally; Experiment 1). This kappa effect clearly occurred when each stimulus was located 8° apart from the fovea in visual angle, but it was reduced when each stimulus was further deviated from the fovea, regardless of whether the two stimuli were presented in the vertical or the horizontal direction (Experiments 2 and 3). Moreover, increasing the spatial distance between the two stimuli from 15 to 30 cm magnified the effect only in a limited condition (Experiment 3). Implications of these results were discussed in terms of the Bayesian model predicting the effects of spatial acuity.

Gross negligence under Greek law

Gross negligence under Greek law
Gross negligence in Greek law is not explicitly defined in the Civil Code. It is derived from the combined application of articles 330, 332 and 334 of the Civil code. In the lack of an express definition and specific criteria for it, gross negligence is deemed to exist when the deviation from the behavior of an ordinary person is important, unusual and especially great, indicating a total disregard of the acting person for the illegal consequences incurred by his act to a third party by. Gross negligence is an abstract legal notion, and hence a court's ruling as to whether the facts of a case constitute gross negligence is subject to the annulment of the Areios Pagos (Supreme Court).
Gross negligence does not comprise cases of willful misconduct. The latter is equal to deceit (either direct, indirect or necessary deceit). In cases of gross or simple negligence, the person at fault either does not foresee the upcoming result of his actions or he foresees it but acts in the hope that he will avoid it.

Medical Definition of Deformity, cauliflower-ear
Deformity, cauliflower-ear: Destruction of the underlying cartilage framework of the outer ear (pinnae), usually caused by either infection or trauma, resulting in a thickening of the ear. Classically, blood collects (hematoma) between the ear cartilage and the skin. There is a marked thickening of the entire ear which may be so extensive that the shape of the ear becomes unrecognizable. The ear is said to look like a piece of cauliflower. It is typically seen in wrestlers and boxers who have had repeated trauma to the ear.
When trauma causes a blood clot under the skin of the ear, the clot disrupts the connection of the skin to the ear cartilage. The cartilage has no other blood supply except the overlying skin so, if the skin is separated from the cartilage, the cartilage is deprived of nutrients and dies and the ear cartilage shrivels up to form the classic cauliflower ear.
The treatment of the hematoma (the blood clot) is to drain it through an incision in the ear and apply a compressive dressing to sandwich the two sides of the skin against the cartilage.
When treated promptly and aggressively, the development of cauliflower ear deformity is unlikely. Delay in diagnosis and treatment leads to more difficulty in managing this problem and may leave greater ear deformity.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

As I'm trying to read through Readwithtajweed, I am confused about the meaning of harakat / count, in regards to Madd.
What is 1 (or 2,3, etc.) count? I've read that it is equivalent to seconds (1 count = 1 second). Are count durations relative to the speed with which I read, like beat/rhythm in music?


What is a School of Living Traditions?
A School of Living Traditions (SLT) is one where a living master/culture bearer or culture specialist teaches skills and techniques of doing a traditional art or craft. The mode of teaching is usually non-formal, oral and with practical demonstrations. The site maybe the house of the living master, a community social hall, or a center constructed for the purpose.
Basiao, Basey SLT on Tikog Weavig (PMED)
Who teaches at SLTs?
It is the culture bearer or master or specialist. This term refers to the individual who is recognized to possess the skills and techniques in doing a particular traditional art or craft. He shall be responsible in teaching his craft to a group of learners and shall ensure that his/her students learn the craft.
blaan slt
Blaan SLT on Blaan Traditional Attire (PMED)
Who are the students at SLTs?
It is limited to the young people from the same ethno-linguistic community.The establishment of Schools of Living Traditions (SLTs) is in response to UNESCO's call for the preservation of cultural heritage by preserving it in a living form, ensuring its transmission to the next generations (the other approach being the recording of it in a tangible form and conserving it in archives). While there are various facets of cultural heritage that can be transmitted to the next generations, this program would like to specifically focus on the transmission of indigenous skills and techniques to the young. It aims to encourage culture specialists/masters to continue with their own work, develop and expand the frontiers of that work, and train younger people to take their place in the future.
The program for the establishment of SLTs is also anchored on the mandate of NCCA to:
(1) conserve and promote the nation's historical and cultural heritage by encouraging and supporting the study, recognition and preservation of endangered human cultural resources such as weavers, chanters, dancers and other craftsmen, as well as the conservation and development of such artistic, linguistic and occupational skills that are threatened with extinction; and
(2) preserve and integrate traditional culture and its various creative expressions as a dynamic part of the national cultural mainstream by helping set up or encourage, monitor and subsidize companion systems at the regional, provincial and local levels, intended to develop traditional cultures such as arts/crafts centers, preferably in community settings apart from the usual museum settings, where exponents of living arts and crafts can practice and teach their art and enrich contemporary designs.Specifically, the program aims to identify aspects/components of traditional culture and art considered to be important to a cultural community that should be imparted to the young so that these aspects can be perpetuated.

ExhibitPearls of the Antilles: Printed Maps of Caribbean Islands
(Arts & Culture - UT Arlington and Community)
Pearls of the Antilles: Printed Maps of Caribbean Islands
October 1, 2012 through February 9, 2013
Few people would argue that Caribbean islands have not played pivotal roles in American history. From Columbus' discoveries to the U.S. Guantanamo Bay prison debate, events on islands of the West Indies have impacted our history. While most of these islands are not that distant, our personal knowledge of them is often scant. With the help of old maps, there are interesting facts to learn and more importantly, connections for us to make. Old printed maps of the Caribbean islands depict not only the geography of the islands but also reflect many of the themes of Caribbean (and American) history as well as cartographic history.
Pearls of the Antilles: Printed Maps of Caribbean Islands shows how maps of the Caribbean incorporate many of the themes of cartographic history found in maps of other geographical areas, from technical developments to increasing diversification in types of maps, and from leading "national schools" in certain time periods to such themes as the growth of a tourist map industry.
Pearls of the Antilles: Printed Maps of Caribbean Islands is located in Special Collections, 6th floor, UT Arlington Central Library and runs through February 9, 2013. Hours are 9am - 7pm Monday and 9am - 5pm Tuesday through Saturday. This exhibit is free and open to the public. For more information call _PHONE_.
Note: visit _URL_ and look at Central Library for hours during holidays. Closed November 22, 23; December 24, 25, 31, and January 1, 2013.


text: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly spread globally, forcing countries to apply lockdowns and strict social distancing measures. The aim of this study was to assess eating habits and lifestyle behaviours among residents of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region during the lockdown. A cross-sectional study among adult residents of the MENA region was conducted using an online questionnaire designed on Google Forms during April 2020. A total of 2970 participants from eighteen countries participated in the present study. During the pandemic, over 30 % reported weight gain, 6·2 % consumed five or more meals per d compared with 2·2 % before the pandemic (P < 0·001) and 48·8 % did not consume fruits on a daily basis. Moreover, 39·1 % did not engage in physical activity, and over 35 % spent more than 5 h/d on screens. A significant association between the frequency of training during the pandemic and the reported change in weight was found (P < 0·001). A significantly higher percentage of participants reported physical and emotional exhaustion, irritability and tension either all the time or a large part of the time during the pandemic (P < 0·001). Although a high percentage of participants reported sleeping more hours per night during the pandemic, 63 % had sleep disturbances. The study highlights that the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic caused a variety of lifestyle changes, physical inactivity and psychological problems among adults in the MENA region.

How to get changed properties for an entity in Entity Framework
Sometimes it can be useful to find exactly which entities that have been changed before saving to the database. The most basic for check for changes it to look at the EntityState property, but this does not indicate what properties that have been changed.
To get these changes we have to use the ObjectStateManager on ObjectContext. The ObjectStateManager handles the state of all entities, and can supplied a lot of other different state information about the entities.
First we always need to get the ObjectStateEntry for the entity, this a done by calling ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntry.
TestEntities entities = new TestEntities();
// Query for entity and make some changes
// To get the object state entry
var stateEntry = entities.ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntry(changedEntity);
To check which properties that have changed we just do
IEnumerable modifiedProperties = stateEntry.GetModifiedProperties();
We can also get all the original and current values for the entity using
CurrentValueRecord currentValues = stateEntry.CurrentValues;
DbDataRecord originalValues = stateEntry.OriginalValues;
These two objects can are accessed by column ordinal, which you may or may not know before, but luckily there is a method to get the ordinal from a column name. To get the current and/or original value for an entity, do the following
var currentValue = currentValues.GetValue(currentValues.GetOrdinal(propertyName));
var originalValue = originalValues.GetValue(originalValues.GetOrdinal(propertyName));
Not all properties are correctly marked as changed
When using this method to generate a custom audit trail, I discovered a weird behavior in Entity Framework. Everything but the primary key, are marked as modified even though it only was "changed" to the original value. And this does not work in an audit trail.
There are two ways to solve this either manual check if a property actually has been changed, or change to generate classes for the entities. The last solution are described in my previous post, Entity Framework should only mark really updated properties as modified
The other solution is to check if the current value equals the original value using the methods described above. An example could be
var stateEntry = objectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntry(entity);
var currentValues = stateEntry.CurrentValues;
var originalValues = stateEntry.OriginalValues;
var modifiedProperties = stateEntry.GetModifiedProperties();
foreach (string modifiedProperty in modifiedProperties)
 var currentValue = currentValues.GetValue(currentValues.GetOrdinal(modifiedProperty));
 var originalValue = originalValues.GetValue(originalValues.GetOrdinal(modifiedProperty));
 if (originalValue.Equals(currentValue))
 // Value not changed
 // Value changed
1 comment:
 1. Thanks, this made it very easy to implement and prevent the annoying save when nothing changed.
 We replaced line 9 with following since some DB values are Char and we trim before saving.
 if (originalValue.Equals(currentValue) || (originalValue.GetType() == typeof(string) && ((string)originalValue).Trim().Equals(((string)currentValue).Trim())))

National Criminal History Checks
Willyama makes it easy to conduct fast and accurate background checks on your current and potential employees.
Understanding a National Criminal History Check
A Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check—or police check—is often required when applying for employment, Australian citizenship, an appointment to positions of trust and a variety of licensing and registration schemes.
It helps organisations make informed decisions about the suitability of applicants for employment in sensitive or otherwise specialist roles.
What's involved in completing an application?
Applicants will be required to provide personal information and documentation to prove their identity. Providing robust and accurate information will help ensure a timely and accurate assessment. Applicants must also provide informed consent.
Timely & Accurate Results
Willyama aims to provide 95% of national ciriminal and police history checks within 10 business days or less. Around 70% of checks are completed in minutes.
How long will a national criminal history check take?
Willyama aim's to process 95% of police checks within 10 business days, noting that:
 - around 70 per cent of police checks are completed in real-time with results being returned to the organisation that requested the check within minutes
 - around 30 per cent of police checks are referred to one or more police agencies because a 'potential match' is found. On limited occasions, this process can take longer than 10 business days to process, due to the complexity of the check.
A 'potential match' may be found if the applicant shares similar details with other individuals recorded in police systems, particularly if they have a common name. Processing of a police check in these instances can take longer to progress.

Aboriginal deaths in custody numbers rise sharply over past five years
Updated May 24, 2013 18:34:18
But there has been a spike in the number Indigenous deaths in custody, in line with an almost doubling of the number of Aboriginal Australians being locked up.
The findings come two decades after the landmark Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, which made 339 recommendations for reform - most of which have not been implemented.
Around 30,000 people are behind bars, and Indigenous inmates account for a quarter of the prison population but only 2 per cent of the general population.
"It hasn't been getting better, it's been getting worse despite, I think, a lot of attempts by governments and agencies to try and bring that down," AIC director Dr Adam Tomison said.
The National Deaths in Custody Program Monitoring Report has found Indigenous death-in-custody rates have decreased over the past decade but risen again recently.
The report found:
 - Almost 1,400 deaths in prison custody have been recorded since 1980
 - 14 Indigenous people died in prison in 2009-10, the highest number on record
 - An increasing number of people are dying from heart attack and cirrhosis of the liver
 - From 2008-11, 33 of the 159 deaths in prison custody were Indigenous prisoners
Most of those deaths occur in prisons rather than other forms of custody like juvenile detention and police cells.
In 2008-09, 15 Aboriginal people died behind bars. By 2010-11 that number had risen to 21.
The AIC report shows that most of these deaths were due to natural causes like cancer and heart conditions.
Previously self-harm was the leading cause of deaths in custody.
"Prisons need to be aware of the health needs of older prisoners and to make sure that they're addressed to obviously prevent deaths," Dr Tomison said.
"That said though, the number of deaths is still too high."
NT has the highest rate of Indigenous deaths in custody
Based on current statistics, the Northern Territory has the highest rate of Indigenous deaths in custody in Australia.
Between 1979 and 2011, there were 32 deaths in custody in the Territory, 24 of which were Indigenous people.
The Territory has the highest incarceration rate of Indigenous people in Australia, with 97 per cent of juvenile detainees being Aboriginal.
Of adults in prison or other forms of detention, 82 per cent are Indigenous.
The Closing the Gap policy is focused on improving those outcomes for Indigenous Australians.
Audio: Listen to Martin Cuddihy's report for The World Today (The World Today)
The Federal Government says it is supporting state and territory governments with $4.6 billion.
But Gracelyn Smallwood, an associate professor at James Cook University and an Aboriginal leader in North Queensland, says a lot of that money does not end up where it is needed.
"The infrastructure's very poor and most of the jobs are given to outside consultants which are mostly non-Indigenous people or companies that don't employ people on the ground, which is our local people," she said.
"They've abolished the work for the dole scheme, which was at least helping our communities to get some economic development.
"Closing the Gap is very, very important from a holistic point of view, and once you start cleaning up poverty then everything will start falling into line.
"I'm optimistic that if those recommendations were implemented that we could start closing the gap."
Associate Professor Smallwood says if all the royal commission's recommendations had been implemented, "we wouldn't have any deaths in custody and we wouldn't have a massive increase in the incarceration rates nationally".

Snapshot history files
If sufficient memory is not available for run-time accumulation of time-averaged history files or if the user simply needs an instantaneous view of the ocean state, snapshot history files can be written at regular intervals. The interval must be short enough that whatever time-averaging interval may be desired in the future, there will be three or more samples (snapshots) per averaging-interval. For monthly averages, snapshots should be collected at intervals of 10 days or less. Only one time-level of the prognostic variables and selected diagnostic variables needs to be saved, since second-moments and correlations can be computed later from these snapshot files, at the cost of retrieving a potentially large number of snapshot files. To choose which fields are written to the history files, a history contents file must be supplied with a list of fields desired. A sample file is included which contains all the currently available fields; the user may edit this file to select the desired fields.

From Ohio History Central
Marietta from Harmar Hill, by Charles Sullivan
Charles Sullivan was an important Ohio artist during the nineteenth century.
Born in Frankfort, Pennsylvania in 1794, Sullivan spent his youth in Pennsylvania. He began to study art in the 1810s. His most important teacher was Thomas Sully, an artist based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Sullivan later opened his own studio in Philadelphia. In 1827, he moved to what is now Wheeling, West Virginia and in 1833, to Marietta, Ohio.
In Wheeling and Marietta, Sullivan became especially well known for his landscapes. His river scenes focused mainly on the Ohio River. He also made a number of paintings of Indian earthworks, especially in the vicinity of Marietta. Sullivan's paintings of the Marietta Earthworks provide valuable information since many of the earthworks are no longer in existence.
Sullivan resided in Marietta for the remainder of his life. He died in 1867.
The Ohio Historical Society's Campus Martius Museum in Marietta, Ohio contains examples of Charles Sullivan's work.

Wood or Plastic?
The advantage of the professionally made wooden instruments is their excellent quality of sound. Children can perceive the difference in quality and this ability should be developed during lessons. Wood reacts very sensitively to the way it is treated by the player. Looking after a wooden recorder requires and trains a certain sensitivity which children are never too young to learn.
Instruments with a plastic head or even entirely made of plastic can have a satisfactory sound. They are to be recommended for small children as they are extremely robust. Plastic instruments do not mind being knocked about.

Community forest management in Mexico reduces poverty while conserving natural resources
Newspapers El Financiero and Milenio.com report on new studies that show community forest management in Mexico has reduced poverty and social inequity while simultaneously conserving natural resources. Over 2,300 forest communities have been given forest use permission in Mexico, resulting in economic growth and effective conservation of forests in these areas. The report suggests the need for a complementary system of both publicly protected areas and a framework for community managed forests in order to effectively reduce poverty and conserve natural resources.

Abstract. Knowledge bases have become ubiquitous assets in today's Web. They provide access to billions of statements about real-world entities derived from governmental, institutional, product-oriented, bibliographic, bio-chemical, and many other domain-oriented and general-purpose datasets. The sheer amount of statements that can be retrieved for a given entity calls for ranking techniques that return the most salient, i.e., globally relevant, statements as top results.
In this paper we analyze and compare various strategies for assigning global relevance scores to DBpedia facts with the goal to derive the best one among these strategies. Some of these strategies build on complementary aspects such as frequency and inverse document frequency, yet others combine structural information about the underlying knowledge graph with Webbased co-occurrence statistics for entity pairs. A user evaluation of the discussed approaches has been conducted on the popular DBpedia knowledge base with statistics derived from an indexed version of the ClueWeb09 corpus.
The created dataset can be seen as a strong baseline for comparing entity ranking strategies (especially, in terms of global relevance) and can be used as a building block for developing new ranking and mining techniques on linked data.

St. Catherine University partners with University of Minnesota to launch high-altitude weather balloon
During Minnesota Aerospace and Aviation Week, students and faculty from St. Catherine University teamed up with students and faculty from the University of Minnesota to launch a high-altitude weather balloon on Flight Day.
The goal of the flight was to use a helium-filled latex weather balloon to lift scientific payloads into "near space." Students and faculty would then recover the units, retrieving data that would later be used for scientific research.
Though the weather balloon did not reach its anticipated height on this particular day, the students conducted a successful launch.

Shift handles the camera work for drone pilots
That's why Perceptiv Labs developed Shift. It's a system that allows a DJI or 3D Robotics quadcopter's motorized camera to automatically keep a tagged subject centered in the frame, letting the user concentrate on flying.
The Shift hardware consists of a processor that is mounted on the drone (and plugged into its autopilot system) along with a "Shift Eye" that is mounted adjacent to the camera lens – that Eye lets both the processor and the user see what the camera is seeing. The combined weight of the two components, including battery, is less than 200 g (7 oz). One charge of the battery is good for about an hour of use.

How to Create a Folder
To Create a Folder:
1. In the Outliner, highlight any item by clicking it once. New items you create are placed below the item highlighted in Outliner.
 Note: If highlighted item is an expanded folder, a new item will be created as a child of it
2. Press F11 and start typing Folder name
3. Press ENTER to finish, or, click on any other place using mouse
You can organize your data in many ways. For example, you might wish to organize your data into customers, vendors, advertisers, sales leads, correspondence, and personal data. To organize this way you would create a separate Folder for each category. A CEO might organize the Outliner by department; a Chef by the food type; a Salesperson by region and suchlike. Find what works best for you as you enter your daily information. Structuring your data is an ongoing process. Don't worry if the structure you choose is not perfect at first. Your structure can always be changed and improved as you learn and enter more information.

These objects hang from many balconies of multi-story buildings in urban Yangon. They can function as several things; a doorbell if you attach a bell to the end, and a mailbox if you hook a plastic bag around the end. Why not just use a normal doorbell, or get a conventional mailbox, you may ask? There isn't always electricity, and hence there isn't always a way to make the doorbell ring (despite the idea of a "bell" being something you can just hit to make work, the idea today is not that simple). Nobody wants to trudge up 6 flights of stairs in the dark only to find that the person who they wanted to see is not home - much easier to pull on a rope that has a bell attached to the top end of it so that if an apartment's inhabitants are home they will hear the bell and come to the balcony.
As for mailboxes, well, why incorporate something into a building in a dense urban environment where space is already very scarce when you can instead place it outside in the air, an uncrowded and relatively limitless space? Standard protocol dictates that a deliverer of any mail will give several courtesy rings on the ring-rope to notify inhabitants of a delivery.


Sturgeon Caviar
Caviar is the roe from Sturgeon (Acipenseridae). The best types of caviar are Russian Ossetra (also spelled Osetra or Oscietra), Kaluga, and Beluga Hybrid. Sturgeon caviar is an expensive luxury, but if you have had the privilege of having it, you know its worth is proven. Less expensive ikura (or Salmon roe), Trout roe, Bowfin, and Hackleback are often called "caviar;" however, food aficionados will tell you they are simply known as "roe."

Section 5: Driveway Angle
Two-way driveways should intersect the roadway at an angle of ninety degrees unless it is determined that a lesser angle will provide satisfactory traffic operations for the highway. Suggested limiting values on driveway angles are:
Residential Driveway: 75o
Commercial Driveway: 75o; commercial driveways expected to have a volume of 400 vehicles per day or two or more trucks/large vehicles in a one-hour period shall be designed as normal intersections (public driveway).
Normal Intersection (Public Driveway), Service Driveway and Field Driveway: 80o.
The angle of intersection between the centerline of a one-way driveway and the edge of pavement of the public roadway may be between forty-five (45o) and ninety degrees (90o). Sixty degrees (60o) is a commonly used angle for one-way driveways.
