Fields with spin

 Fields with spin....
 Can have a field (electromagnetic, gravitational..) a "spin" or can the existence of spin be relevant in the study of field..l.so we can asign a spin to a certain field and study the functional equation of fields with "spin" and relate this "spin" to particle spin
 with this word of "spin" i would mean some intrinsic property of the field similar to this of particles...
 A use would be to produce for example a spin-2 description of the graviton instead of WDW equation by mean of an equation lineal and of first order in derivatives including the term d/dt and the time.

 In QFT in minkowski space, fields may be viewed as consisting of particles, so a spin-j field consists of spin-j particles. For example, photons are the massless spin-1 particles making up the electromagnetic field which is thus spoken of as a massless spin-1 field. However, the notion of field is more fundamental than that of particle since the latter is an observer-dependent concept. This is seen for example in the unruh effect in minkowski space where accelerating observers will see particles where inertial observers see only the vacuum and also in regions of spacetime in which curvature is comparable to the characteristic wavelength of field quanta. It is thus more precise to speak not of particles but in a more general sense of field excitations.

 A basic remark is maybe needed: "a field with spin" is a fancy name (well..) for a multi-component field. Like a vector field in euclidean space has 3 components at each point (and comes down to a spin-1 field!). In relativistic notation, we use 4 components, but we actually only use 3 (for a massive vector boson). Extra complications for a massless photon make us have 2 independent components, but we still write it as a 4-component field.
 A spinless field is just a field with one scalar component, such as "temperature". The less intuitive aspects come in when we use half-integer spins, because we're classically not used to them, but a spin-1/2 should be a two-component field. (and it can be, for example, a Majorana field). However, in its most popular appearing it has 4 components as a Dirac spinor.
 So spin of a field is nothing else but the fact that the field has multiple components, eventually combined with conditions (gauge conditions, mass conditions) reducing the number of independent components, and subject to specific transformation rules (under the Lorentz group).

 Re: Fields with spin....
 If all particles (within the framework of QFT) are quanta (linear, scalar, pseudoscalar, qauge etc.) of field, then what exactly do you ask?

 There is a very good article on this subject from American Journal of Physics: Hans C. Ohanian, "What is spin?" 54 (6), 500-505 (1986). I don't know if it is available online anywhere.

Evaluation of tourism web sites: A theoretical framework
The paper outlines a theoretical framework for the discussion and identification of indicators measuring the properties of web sites. In this framework we distinguish between the web site as a medium for describing an object, the web site as an object of description and the normative judgement of a web site. The framework is the basis for a project currently carried out and which has as its aim to establish indicators for tourism web sites and use them in an open benchmarking process to enforce the improvement of the set of independent web sites marketing a given tourist destination both individually and as a resource in the collective presentation of the destination. The case studied is the Sognefjord region in Western Norway.

text: Ammonoid soft tissues are rarely preserved and such findings are of considerable interest. Extremely little is known about the structure of ammonoid siphuncle soft-parts. Until now indisputable fossilized siphuncle soft tissues were known only in a few ammonoid genera. This article describes phosphatized soft tissues inside the siphuncle tubes of the Upper Jurassic (upper Volgian) ammonite Kachpurites fulgens from Central Russia. Cross-sectional views of several Kachpurites siphuncles show a large blood vessel in the center surrounded by four smaller ones. In several specimens, the siphuncle epithelium is preserved. The size and arrangement of the blood vessels in Kachpurites is nearly identical to previously described blood vessels in the siphuncles of Recent Nautilus and the Permian prolecanitid ammonoid Akmilleria electraensis. This similarity indicates a remarkable conservatism of ammonoid siphuncles and provides grounds for the assumption that the last common ancestors of Ammonoidea and Nautilida also had the same structure of the siphuncle soft tissues.

This case study investigation reflects on the use of metaphors to teach postgraduate education students the importance of personal bias and subjectivity to their research, and advocates the use of critical reflexivity to deal with it. Students are reluctant to be critically reflective as they can feel threatened by the reflective process, feel they can sit apart or outside their research, write without bias and/or feel critical reflection may damage their research findings. It explores the effectiveness of an approach to overcome this reluctance by applying a metaphor. In a Zambian research class, students introduced a metaphor for personal bias by likening it to an encounter with a hidden hippopotamus. These are difficult to tame, hard to deal with, and can remain hidden for a long time. They appear unexpectedly, cannot be ignored, and awareness the main defence. Subsequent dissertations showed an improved early adoption of critical reflexivity. This metaphor was then used as a key discussion point on a postdoctoral education programme in the UK and investigated formally using focus groups. Students reported a greater understanding of personal bias, recognised the importance of being critically reflexive, and felt the metaphor was instrumental in their understanding of the need to advise of their position in the research. Underpinning this approach is the assertion that metaphors can help explain personal traits that are difficult for individuals to describe (Hoggan, 2016). The use of a personal values framework; morality, competency, personal and social behaviour, provided a supportive writing framework resulting in an increase in critical reflexivity early in the students research.

Coaching in Business English – Workout
Robert Harris is a Certified Professional Trainer with nineteen years' experience coaching and training non-native English speakers. He has spent most of his professional life outside his native UK, gaining insight into and learning to work effectively in culturally diverse...
Top performing athletes exercise/ workout to prepare for a major sporting event or to maintain a satisfactory level of fitness, likewise, you as a senior executive could greatly benefit from "workouts" to exercise your Business English and as a result ensure that you are equally:
- confident when speaking English as you are in your own language
If you feel at a disadvantage when speaking in a language other than your own, be assured you're not the only one. It is a sentiment shared by many people and in many ways an entirely natural one. One way of overcoming this disadvantage is through coaching. Coaching encourages experimentation, "to try things out" before the real event and this together with input and guidance from an experienced coach can lead to a significant improvement in performance.
Our experience has shown that flexibility as to what is worked on in the sessions is a prerequisite for a successful collaboration. The session agenda is often set by the client who might want to prepare for something coming up in the near future for example:
- A presentation to Head Office or business partner
- A visit to an exhibition in Frankfurt
- A meeting with a foreign supplier, customer or colleague
- A difficult phone call or web conference
Workout is for professionals who want to:
- exercise their spoken English in order to overcome communication difficulties
- improve their capability to do business in English
- improve their relationships with their international business partners and English speaking colleagues
- feel comfortable expressing themselves in various business situations
Intermediate and above
By the end of the course participants will have improved:
- oral fluency in business situations
- their range of business vocabulary
- their level of confidence in doing business in English
Course outline typically includes:
- Cultural differences – the understanding of which will lead to better relationships with your international partners and colleagues.
- Presentations – Practice one of your own with your coach
- Change Management – In international environments
- Nonverbal negotiation skills – some researchers claim that 90% of face-to-face communication is nonverbal.
- Grammar – Conditionals don't usually inspire enthusiasm but their correct use in negotiations will.
- Small talk – additional benefits.
- Active listening – we don't want to miss something important.
- Understanding your negotiation partners – what to do when the other person's English is better than yours.
- Meetings – support your position with confidence
- Interpersonal skills – Added value
The Communicative Approach to Business English
Most students say during the interview phase of the needs analysis that they find speaking English the most challenging.
The primary goal of most Business English learners is to be able to speak and convey the message they want without misunderstanding (a misunderstanding can be embarrassing as well as costly). For this reason the majority of learners prefer to focus on improving their speaking skills, as especially when communicating with non-native speakers, getting the message across is more important than strict adherence to grammatical accuracy.
Another very good reason the focus is on spoken English is that when we're "talking business' in English there is no time to ask for help from our colleagues or friends, unlike written communication where
- the assistance of a colleague can be requested
- the enormous resources on the internet can be accessed
The Communicative Approach to Business English focuses on:
- Speaking and Listening
- Enhancing confidence
- Increasing oral fluency and range of vocabulary
- Communicating the message

How to Tell If a Papaya is Ripe
 - TIP: Papayas will ripen more quickly when put in a paper bag with ethylene-producing fruits, such as apples or bananas.
 - Step 2: Note the stem end Examine the end where the stalk was. The papaya will ripen well if there is a yellow ring, but if the ring is green, it won't ripen.
 - Step 3: Examine the papaya's skin Examine the papaya's skin. Wrinkled skin will not affect the taste of the papaya, but sunken areas or bruises indicate rough handling during transit.
 - Step 4: Press the papaya Press on the papaya with your fingers. A ripe papaya should be soft and retain slight indentations, but a papaya that isn't ripe will be hard. If it is too soft and mushy, it's overripe.
 - Step 5: Smell the papaya Smell the papaya. A ripe papaya will smell faintly sweet. If the papaya has no scent, it isn't ripe yet. But if it has a strong, sweet odor, it's overripe.
 - FACT: Hawaii is the only state in the U.S. to commercially produce papayas.

Improved protection for handhelds now in beta-testing
18 Feb
Product News
Kaspersky Security for PDA 5.5 now in final stages of development
Kaspersky Lab, a leading vendor of secure content management solutions, is now conducting open beta-testing of Kaspersky Security for PDA 5.5. The new product incorporates a range of upgrades and improvements, significantly extending the product's functionality.
Kaspersky Security for PDA protects data on handheld computers and smartphones. Kaspersky Anti-Virus technology optimized for pocket devices offers comprehensive protection for handheld computers running PocketPC and Palm OS, and smartphones running Microsoft Smartphone 2002 and Windows Mobile 2003 for Smartphone.
The latest version of the solution has a new, user-friendly interface. Virus detection and disinfection functions have been upgraded. The new antivirus monitor complements the existing functions by tracking application activity in real time, ensuring that malicious code cannot be executed. Updates to the antivirus databases can be downloaded automatically, meaning the device is protected against even the very newest viruses.
Kaspersky Security for PDAs can also be used to encrypt data stored on handheld devices. This prevents unsanctioned users from accessing confidential information. PocketPC users can create hidden folders: data stored in these folders is encrypted, and the folders themselves are password protected. PalmOS users can use passwords to lock their devices. Data is encrypted when the device is locked; therefore, even if a malicious user gains access to the memory card, they will be unable to access information stored on it. New cryptographic algorithms from the Intel library further heighten security when the program is run under Pocket PC.


text: Purpose: The purpose of the study is to explore the existence of gender discrimination in the service delivery process of the poverty reduction programs in Bangladesh. Originality: This paper has developed a multidimensional scale to assess the efficiency of Government (GO) and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in the service delivery process of poverty reduction programs in rural Bangladesh as there is no such scale available in the literature. The scale then is utilized to find differences in opinion between male and female beneficiaries. Key literature / theoretical perspective: This study followed a process of scale development proposed in marketing, psychology and human resources management. Design/methodology/approach: The methodology is based on quantitative survey from 78 randomly chosen villages in Bangladesh. Confirmatory factor analysis and discriminant analysis were used to explore the differences in opinion of the beneficiaries. Findings: In most geographic areas, more improvement in efficiency determining items are demanded by female beneficiaries proves that they are not only deprived of better services compared to their male counterparts but also are carrying the hallmarks of gender discrimination. Research limitations/implications: Responses of the beneficiaries of the geographically disadvantageous areas like char (island), haor (water bodies) and hilly areas are not included. Practical and Social implications: It is hoped that region-wise findings will help the policy makers of both GO and NGOs to pin-point the areas of service delivery in which they require more attention.

Shimazdu Presents the HPV-X2, a 10 Million fps Video Camera
Shimazdu has launched the Hyper Vision HPV-X2, an ultra high speed camera that can record 10 million frames per second. It features an FTCMOS burst image sensor, which makes it 6 times more photosensitive that its predecessors. The outstanding sensitivity and speed allow observation of varied biological and industrial processes invisible to the human eye.
The Hyper Vision HPV-X2 has an improved light sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio. It can ve synchronized with other cameras to view a sample from different viewpoints. Shimazdu has developed an accompanying software for camera control and data analysis, but other imaging and analytical softwares are compatible too.
How does the Burst Method allow recording 10 million fps?
Conventional camera: memories are located outside of the sensor.
02In normal cameras, images are stored in memories located outside of the image sensor. This means that the image signals must be transferred to the memory. The problem comes when the number of pixels to transfer is enormous compared to the number of signal output taps, given that the process has to be sequential. In practice, this hinders ultra high-speed recording. Shimazdu solved the problem developing an image sensor with built-in memories, as many as frames to be recorded per second. Memories and pixels are connected one-to-one for parallel transfer of information.
The new Burst Image Sensor is based in CMOS technology. Instead of locating memories contiguous to the pixels, which is typical of CCD sensors, CMOS sensors spatially separate pixels and memories, avoiding signal leakage from the pixels to the memories.
The Hyper Vision HPV-X2 video camera has applications in the aerospace, automotive and semiconductor fields, and also in the manufacture of industrial equipment, advanced medical equipment and consumer electronics.


Why a Rechargeable Battery becomes Bloated
A rechargeable battery on a white background.
A rechargeable battery becomes bloated when the outer shell is broken due to extreme temperatures. Nickel-based batteries, such as NiCd and NiMh batteries, react especially poorly to very cold or very hot temperatures. The most common cause of rechargeable battery bloating, however, is when a rechargeable battery is overcharged and therefore exposed to too much heat. If you touch a battery charger right after use you will notice it is warm. The electric charge causes heat which can break the outer shell of a rechargeable battery. Lithium-based batteries, such as Li-Ion or lithium polymer batteries, are extremely susceptible to overheating due to overcharging.
Avoiding Overcharging
To avoid overcharging, and therefore bloating, make sure you are using the manufacturer's preferred battery charger. Lithium-based battery chargers have a timer mechanism that prevent overcharging. If this type of charger is not used the battery will overcharge and overheat. Trickle-chargers, though good for saving energy, are often incompatible with rechargeable batteries and, if used, can cause overheating. If a bloated battery is used the outer shell can crack completely, leaking toxic chemicals which can catch on fire or even explode.
Factory Mistakes
In the past there have been battery recalls for products whose batteries inadvertently bloat. If you purchase such a product, make sure to replace your battery before using the product again.

Formative Assessment, Homework, Self-regulation
This study explored the formative learning cycle's ability to increase student confidence to create quality homework. Student from a socio-economically diverse school district in Western Pennsylvania reported their confidence levels on homework production on two surveys. The first survey provided a rapid response at the end of lessons taught using the formative learning cycle. The second survey was completed at the end of the study window. The results from these surveys indicate a positive correlation between the formative learning cycle's ability to increase self-regulation processes to confidently produce quality homework.

Why there's Rainbow Beach sand sitting on the moon
WE ALL love to walk along the fine sands of Rainbow Beach, but not many people would know the sand's link to Neil Armstrong's historic first ever moon walk 50 years ago.
Rutile extracted from Cooloola Coast sand deposits back in the '60s had gone into the manufacture of titanium used on the Apollo 11 space craft.
In fact the spindly legs of the lunar module made from our Wide Bay sand, were the first part of the craft to touch the moon and are still up there today.
At the time about 90 per cent of the world's titanium came from Australia.
Queensland Titanium Mines Pty Ltd at Rainbow Beach filled a large part of the export market ensuring our place in space history.
Titanium made from the Wide Bay's sand was used to build the Apollo 11 command ship Columbia, its lunar module lander Eagle and the Saturn five rocket that put the men into orbit.
The space capsules heat shield that protected the craft during re-entry into the earth's atmosphere was also made of titanium alloys.
Sand mining ceased at Rainbow Beach in the mid-1970s due to environmental concerns.

SCons duplicates source files in variant directory trees because it's the most straightforward way to guarantee a correct build regardless of include-file directory paths, relative references between files, or tool support for putting files in different locations, and the SCons philosophy is to, by default, guarantee a correct build in all cases.
The most direct reason to duplicate source files in variant directories is simply that some tools (mostly older versions) are written to only build their output files in the same directory as the source files. In this case, the choices are either to build the output file in the source directory and move it to the variant directory, or to duplicate the source files in the variant directory.
Additionally, relative references between files can cause problems if we don't just duplicate the hierarchy of source files in the variant directory. You can see this at work in use of the C preprocessor _TAG_ mechanism with double quotes, not angle brackets:
The de facto standard behavior for most C compilers in this case is to first look in the same directory as the source file that contains the _TAG_ line, then to look in the directories in the preprocessor search path. Add to this that the SCons implementation of support for code repositories (described below) means not all of the files will be found in the same directory hierarchy, and the simplest way to make sure that the right include file is found is to duplicate the source files into the variant directory, which provides a correct build regardless of the original location(s) of the source files.
Although source-file duplication guarantees a correct build even in these end-cases, it can usually be safely disabled. The next section describes how you can disable the duplication of source files in the variant directory.


Importance of allocation mechanisms that don't rely on price adjustment: Rebuilding the concept of markets | Discuss Japan－Japan Foreign Policy Forum
Discuss Japan > Back Number > No.62 > Importance of allocation mechanisms that don't rely on price adjustment: Rebuilding the concept of markets
No.62, Economy Jan. 31, 2021
Kojima Fuhito, Professor and Director at the University of Tokyo Market Design Center
Key points
 - Focusing on the visible hand that replaces traditional price mechanisms
 - Expanding the use of market design for kidney transplants
 - Improving institutional design to eliminate the childcare waiting lists issue
Prof. Kojima Fuhito
One of the most prominent ideas in economics is Adam Smith's concept of the "invisible hand." The invisible hand is the magical mechanism for price adjustment that is capable of maximizing the wealth of society if self-interested consumers and companies respond to the prices of goods and services. With advances of research in economics, this idea has been elaborated upon. However, neoliberals have also used this phrase to promote deregulation.
And yet, no one has ever actually seen the invisible hand. In fact, examples of the price mechanism not working can be found everywhere in society.
Although it may be a slightly extreme example, let us look at the transplant kidney market. This marketplace has a demand side (patients) and a supply side (donors) involving kidneys as the goods being traded.
However, the invisible hand doesn't function to adjust prices in the transplant kidney market. The reason is simple: it is illegal to sell organs. With the exception of illegal black-market transactions or the like, the invisible hand cannot adjust the price of goods that cannot be priced. As the price of a kidney is zero, the number of donors is far smaller than the number of patients, and there is no balance between supply and demand. Consequently, it has become common for nephritic patients to wait years for a donated kidney.
One additional example is still fresh in our minds: the ban on the resale of face masks at high prices during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is an ethical imperative not to rely upon price adjustment for the distribution of artificial respirators, vaccines and other medical resources. Outside the medical sector, approved childcare centers can be considered a major battlefield for the childcare waiting lists issue. They also form a marketplace in which the invisible hand does not succeed in adjusting prices because childcare fees are determined from a political perspective.
Some people who trust price mechanisms believe that regulations in these markets should be removed. Although this author does not necessarily dispute every aspect of this school of thought, it seems unlikely that sudden changes in moral values and laws in the near future would result in a world in which organs become widely traded.
Given this reality, modern economists have considered the creation of a marketplace using a "visible hand" mechanism. This area of study is called market design. Marketplaces can be found any place where goods and services are exchanged, including transplant organs and childcare centers, and the exchange of money and the establishment of prices are not the essence of a market.
To explain, let us look again at the transplant kidney example. Humans have two kidneys, and it is believed that having only one kidney does not affect human health. Accordingly, it is possible to transplant kidneys from living donors, and, in principle, the potential supply of kidneys is nearly inexhaustible. In Japan where people have a strong aversion to transplants from people who have suffered brain death, this fact is particularly important.
However, as the price of a kidney is zero, the number of donors is far smaller than the number of patients, and potential donors are normally limited to patients' spouses, family members, etc.
Moreover, the existence of a living donor candidate does not ensure that a transplant can occur. This is because the blood type and other elements must match between the patient and donor. For example, it may be possible to transplant a kidney from a donor with a blood type of O to a patient with a blood type of A, but it not possible to transplant a kidney from a donor with a blood type of A to a patient with a blood type of O, unless the patient is immunosuppressed or there is some other special treatment. Because of this, the demand side (patients) and the supply side (donors) of the goods (kidneys) need to be brought together by a method other than a price mechanism.
The design of systems for matching kidney donors with patients is an example of a successful social implementation for market design researchers. The fundamental idea is that when the blood groups of a donor and patient are incompatible, incompatible pairs can be matched. For example, one pair including a patient with a blood type of O and a donor with a blood type of A can be matched with another pair consisting of a patient with a blood type of A and a donor with a blood type of O. If the donor and patient are incompatible because of a reason other than blood type (for example, Human Leukocyte Antigen [HLA] antibodies), it may be possible to swap the donors between the two pairs to make both kidneys compatible with the patients in need (see figure). This is similar to goods (kidneys) being exchanged on a marketplace.
Kidney exchanges such as this are not considered organ trade according to the laws of many countries. It is believed that this system does not pose an ethical problem because there is no exchange of money. An alternative barter marketplace has been established, so to speak, among kidney donors without setting prices. However, it is not possible for the invisible hand to work without the establishment of prices. Following this principle, researchers have designed algorithms to act as a visible hand for kidney exchange.
First, a database of donor/patient pairs is created. Next, algorithms are used to identify methods for maximizing the number of donor exchanges to enable as many patients as possible to receive a kidney. Then, the transplants occur following the identified solution. This framework has been used in many countries around the world since the beginning of the 21st century, with doctors, economists, computer scientists and others participating. Because of The Japan Society for Transplantation's negative view of this system, it has not been implemented in Japan. However, this author believes that the system deserves to be reviewed in Japan, in light of its implementation progressing steadily in societies around the world.
In some situations, swapping the donors of two incompatible
pairs will make it possible for both kidneys to be compatible.
The visible hand of Market Design can also be applied to the childcare waiting list issue. Many childcare centers in Japan are approved childcare centers and the fees they are able to charge are set low by local governments. Accordingly, there is supply/demand imbalance, which would not occur in a normal marketplace, causing some children to wait for admission.
The invisible hand is not free to work when childcare fees are determined from a political perspective, and local governments determine children's admission to childcare centers using an algorithm. Specifically, applicants submit a ranked list of their preferred childcare centers to the relevant local authority. The local authority considers various factors, such as the applicant being a single parent, or the availability of the child's grandparents to aid in childcare, and prioritizes and determines which children can be admitted to which childcare centers, taking the applicants preferences into account. This is an example of how the visible hand of local governments works.
However, there are pros and cons to this human-designed visible hand. There is room for improvement in the current system. Firstly, almost every local government performs the process for determining admission to childcare centers manually. As the process is basically a pre-established algorithm, it can be performed by computers.
Second, the work of determining admissions is based on preset enrollment limits for each age group at each childcare center. Even popular childcare centers in areas with fierce competition may have many applicants in the 0-2 age group, but less applicants in the 3-5 age group. This creates the possibility that the staff and space assigned to the 3-5 age group may not be utilized effectively.
A collaborative study conducted by Kamada Yuichiro, an associate professor at the University of California, Berkeley and this author proposes a measure to eliminate this inefficiency. Rather than rigidly determine the limits for each age group in advance, these limits can be flexibly defined based on the submitted preferences. According to data from Yamagata City in Yamagata Prefecture and Bunkyo Ward in Tokyo, our proposal contributed to a significant decrease in the number of children waiting for admission.
Modern economics, and market design in particular, have begun to improve society using a visible hand beyond the bounds of the traditional economics. The University of Tokyo recently established a Market Design Center. It plans to make policy recommendations regarding the issues of securing medical care in remote areas, distributing medical resources in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and auction system design, among others. Market design will play an important role in the modern world, which places greater significance on marketplaces that depart from the forms of traditional marketplaces relying on the invisible hand.

Simon deMaid: What can employers do to ensure bereavement leave policies are effective?
Simon deMaid bereavement
The death of a child can have devastating effects on mental and physical wellbeing, yet there is currently no legal requirement in the UK for employers to provide paid leave for grieving parents. It must, therefore, come as no surprise that campaigners have petitioned so forcefully to change the law on this issue.
The introduction of the new Parental Bereavement (Leave and Pay) Act 2018, due to come into force in 2020, will give all employed parents a day one right to two weeks' leave if they lose a child under the age of 18, or suffer a stillbirth from 24 weeks of pregnancy. Employed parents will also be able to claim pay for this period, subject to meeting eligibility criteria.
As a result of these changes, employers may need to review and update their bereavement leave arrangements. There is no one-size-fits-all approach when trying to manage the needs of a bereaved employee. However, implementing a clear, written bereavement policy will ensure a consistent approach and provide employees with certainty and security as to their rights in such challenging circumstances.
The policy should be easy to follow, widely accessible, and a copy should be provided to all employees.
In conjunction with an effective bereavement policy, employers should adopt a holistic approach when considering what support systems they can implement to help bereaved employees.
It is common for grieving parents to suffer both physically and emotionally. Employers should be alert to any change in absence, performance or behaviour and deal with such issues carefully and sensitively. Managers and HR personnel should be provided with relevant training to understand the importance of using discretion and sensitivity when dealing with bereaved employees.
The effects of grief do not always manifest immediately, so it is important that employees are provided with ongoing support; this may include access to an employee assistance programme (EAP) or the provision of counselling services.

February 24, 2021
Kigali, Virtual
A National Artificial Intelligence Policy for the Republic of Rwanda
Second Collective Intelligence Workshop
Powered by Ministry of ICT and Innovation (MINICT), Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Agency (RURA), GIZ FAIR Forward and The Future Society (TFS)
For the past six months, the Ministry of ICT and Innovation (MINICT) and the Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Agency (RURA), supported by GIZ FAIR Forward and The Future Society (TFS) have partaken in a multi-stakeholder process to develop National AI Policy framework and implementation plan for the Republic of Rwanda. The framework's mission is to accelerate AI adoption by enabling the rapid growth of Rwanda's AI ecosystem, foster the adoption of AI in high growth sectors, and scale public and private sector investment in AI. The ultimate goal is to promote and foster Rwanda's inclusive and sustainable socio-economic transformation.
The process for designing the framework launched with a collective intelligence workshop in September 2020, in which a diverse set of stakeholders gathered to identify and prioritize key AI opportunities, risks, and socio-ethical implications in the country. Since September, the team has continued to gather perspectives from government representatives, private sector leaders, academics, and members of the civil society in order to prepare a draft national AI policy.
This second collective intelligence workshop will discuss the key sections of the draft national AI policy, including seven concrete categories for policy intervention and implementation pathways plan for each. It will facilitate a conversation to gather participant input and to collectively fine-tune and polish the framework and implementation plan. While the workshop was originally intended to take place in Kigali, the COVID-19 pandemic necessitates the virtual format (Zoom).

Are you looking to switch your communication provider, but the idea of changing your phone numbers is just too much to handle? We've got you covered. With the Telnyx phone number portability check, you can easily check up to 2,500 numbers at once.
What is Number Porting?
Number porting refers to the process of transferring (porting) a phone number from one provider to another. The process can be broken down into two categories, local number porting, which deals with fixed lines, and full mobile number porting, which deals with transferring mobile numbers.
With number porting, businesses are no longer forced to stay with their communication providers to avoid the hassle of switching their phone numbers. Number portability puts the power back into the hand of the customer. So, how do you know whether or not your current number is eligible for porting?
How to Check Phone Number Portability with Telnyx
Ready to check if your phone number or numbers are eligible for porting? To get started, follow the three simple steps below.

The salt effects on phase equilibrium and dynamical properties of pig vitreous body was studied by the macroscopic observation of the swelling behavior and dynamic light scattering under various conditions. It was found that the vitreous body collapses with maintaining the shape when the concentrations of salts (NaCl, CaCll2, and MgCl2) were changed. From the observations of the dynamics of light scattered by the pig vitreous body, intensity autocorrelation functions that revealed two diffusion coefficients, Dfast and Dslow were obtained. We developed the theory for describing the density fluctuation of the entities in the vitreous gel system with sodium hyaluronate filled in the meshes of the collagen fiber network. The dynamics of collagen and sodium hyaluronate explains two relaxation modes of the fluctuation. The diffusion coefficient of collagen obtained from Dfast and Dslow is very close to that in aqueous solution, which suggests the vitreous body is in the swollen state. Divergent behavior in the measured total scattered light intensities and diffusion coefficients upon varying the concentration of salt was observed. Namely, a slowing down of the dynamic modes accompanied by increased "static" scattered intensities was observed. This is indicative of the occurrence of a phase transition upon salt concentration.

Fraction interpolation walking a Farey tree
We present an algorithm to find a proper fraction in simplest reduced terms between two reduced proper fractions. A proper fraction is a rational number m/n with m1. A fraction m/n is simpler than p/q if m <= p and n <= q, with at least one inequality strict. The algorithm operates by walking a Farey tree in maximum steps down each branch. Through monte carlo simulation, we find that the present algorithm finds a simpler interpolation of two fractions than using the Euclidean-Convergent [Matula 1980] walk of a Farey tree and terminating at the first fraction satisfying the bound. Analysis shows that the new algorithms, with very high probability, will find an interpolation that is simpler than at least one of the bounds, and thus take less storage space than at least one of the bounds.

WHAT IS FOUNDERGUARD®?
FOUNDERGUARD is a clinically proven preventative supplement for feed induced laminitis and founder. It has been formulated to ensure delivery of the active drug to the hind gut and proven to control the build up of lactic acid in the hind gut. A small daily dose of the palatable granules allows high grain diets to be fed safely.
- Horses on high grain diets e.g. gallopers, pacers, eventers and show hacks
- Horses grazing lush pastures particularly during spring and autumn when sugar levels in pasture are high
- Young horses being prepared for sales e.g. high grain/low exercise animals
- Horses that have suffered laminitis or founder in the past
- Horses undergoing a change in diet
- Horses with seedy toe, white line separation or poor-quality hooves
WHY CHOOSE FOUNDERGUARD?
The ONLY proven prevention for founder - FOUNDERGUARD has been scientifically developed specifically for the prevention of grain induced founder in horses and is the only product available to prevent this problem.
Prevents build-up of lactic acid – When excess carbohydrates are consumed, bacteria multiply rapidly in the hindgut. FOUNDERGUARD controls the build-up of lactic acid from this fermentation process, preventing damage to the gut lining and therefore laminitis.
- FOUNDERGUARD can be added to the daily feed as an effective daily management tool of horses at risk of founder and low-grade laminitis.
Scientifically formulated for performance – Helps prevent the onset of this silent 'performance killer' and help the performance horse reach their full potential.


Bachelors Walk Dublin
Not as widely suggested named because it was used as a promenade for Bachelors, but instead was named after a property developer who built here after the quays were extended downstream from Ormond Quay in the 1670s. There has been many variants of the name over the years – Batchelours Walke (1728), The Batchelors Walk (1723 and 1728), and Bachelors Quay (1766). Before the extension of what is now O'Connell Street to the river, Bachelor's Walk extended over part of what is now Eden Quay, ending at what was Union Lane, now part of Marlborough Street. In 1914, a detachment of the King's Own Scottish Borderers, returning to barracks, fired on a crowd, killing four and injuring many other. The artist Jack B. Yeats later marked the event with the painting 'Bachelor's Walk, In Memoriam'
This quay has been heavily rebuilt since the 1980s, with only a few original buildings remaining. The majority of the buildings are poor quality pastiche attempting to recreate the variety of buildings that were here before.

XPRIZE Rings New York Stock Exchange Closing Bell to Address Global Climate Crisis
News provided byXPRIZE
Sep 19, 2023, 10:00 AM ET
NYSE ceremony during Climate Week NYC underscores XPRIZE's ongoing commitment to climate solutions, followed by panel of alumni innovators
NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- XPRIZE, the world's leader in designing and operating incentive competitions to solve humanity's greatest challenges, rings the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) today to celebrate its impact incentivizing innovators to create climate solutions. This esteemed opportunity, timed during Climate Week NYC, commemorates XPRIZE's long-standing commitment to accelerating breakthroughs and setting audacious goals to address threats posed by climate change.
The closing bell marks a significant milestone in XPRIZE's 29-year history as a global leader in designing, launching, and executing large scale global innovation competitions to accelerate a world of equitable abundance for all.
"Over the years, XPRIZE competitions have driven solutions to a range of climate-related challenges, including cleaning and restoring our oceans, increasing access to fresh water, and capturing and recycling carbon dioxide emissions," said Anousheh Ansari, CEO, XPRIZE. "At this moment, all of our active prizes totaling $136 million will directly impact climate, conservation and sustainability work around the world; we're building a movement and inspiring innovators around the world to help us create a positive future."
By ringing the closing bell at the NYSE during Climate Week, XPRIZE hopes to underscore the importance of climate action and demonstrate how setting moonshot goals can help solve the unprecedented challenges we face. XPRIZE's current active prizes working to address various climate solutions include:
- XPRIZE Rainforest - a $10M competition to develop technologies that will change the way we evaluate and support biodiversity and conservation efforts in rainforest communities.
- XPRIZE Feed the Next Billion - a $15M competition to produce accessible and sustainable meat alternatives that outperform chicken or fish in accessibility, taste and nutrition.
- XPRIZE Wildfire - a $11M competition to develop new technologies that autonomously detect and manage potentially destructive wildfires, and enable the safe management of all high-risk fires.
- XPRIZE Carbon Removal - a $100M competition to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or oceans and sequester it sustainably, demonstrating the ability to reach gigatonne scale.
"Our climate challenges cannot be solved with a single solution. They require bold innovation across many industries which contribute to the problems we face today. Developing more sustainable systems across the board from innovations in food production, to assessing and protecting our natural surroundings, and undoing the damage done so far all must happen concurrently and urgently," added Ansari. "I'm confident that each of these prizes will make a measurable impact in their respective industries and move us closer to a balanced and hopeful future."
The bell ringing ceremony will be followed by a panel discussion among XPRIZE competition alumni, including representatives of Air Company, CERT, Clean Robotics, and Quest Institute. These leading innovators will offer insights on the opportunities and major developments in their respective industries, including carbontech, robotics and AI, and STEM. They will also discuss how their participation in various XPRIZE incentive competitions helped lay the groundwork for their current endeavors.

Lewis Edison Waterman
Born November 20 1837 – Died May 1 1901
Patent No. 293,545
Lewis Waterman invented a superior fountain pen that made inkwells and dip
Waterman improved on earlier fountain pen designs by including a nib and
feed mechanism that produced a steady flow of ink. He founded the Ideal
Pen Company (later the L.E. Waterman Company) in New York in 1884, to
manufacture his pen while he continued to improve its design. In
addition to being functionally superior, Waterman pens were
well-balanced and aesthetically pleasing; some had gold and silver
overlays, others were studded with gems. A Waterman pen won the Medal of
Excellence at the Paris World Exposition in 1900.
By 1901, Waterman was selling 1,000 pens per day. They remained popular
until the Great Depression made them an impractical luxury for many.
After World War II, disposable ballpoint pens came to dominate the
industry. Nonetheless, high-quality Waterman fountain pens are still
made today in a wide variety of styles.
Waterman was born in Decatur, New York. With only five years of
schooling, he worked as a teacher, carpenter, and book salesman before
becoming an insurance agent. He is said to have vowed to invent a better
writing instrument when an inferior pen leaked on an important insurance
contract, delaying him long enough that he lost the client.

In the case of a Linear analysis, for the distributed load to be applied to your model, you must assign a Pressure multiplier in the Multipliers tab of the Analysis Parameters dialog box. The product of the Magnitude and the Pressure multiplier updates the magnitude of the distributed load.
In the case of a Nonlinear analysis, a load curve controls the magnitude of the distributed load during the event duration. You specify the load curve number within the Creating Beam Distributed Load Object dialog box.
If you select one or more beam elements using the Selection Select Lines command and right-click in the display area, you can select the Add pull-out menu and select the Beam Distributed Loads command to add a distributed load to each beam element.
If the magnitude and direction of the load is constant across the length of each selected beam, specify the magnitude of the load per unit of length in the Magnitude field and the of the load in the Direction section. If the magnitude or direction of the load varies across the length of each selected beam, deactivate the Uniform check box and specify the magnitude of the force per unit of length at each end in the I-Node Magnitude and J-Node Magnitude fields and the direction in the I-Node Direction and J-Node Direction sections. The magnitude of the load varies linearly between the nodes. This is done on a per-beam basis.
If you are applying a non-uniform load to the beam, you can have the load start and end at any point along the beam. This is done by specifying a ratio of the length of the beam in two ratio from I-Node fields. The first field determines how far from the I-Node the load starts. The second field determines how far from the I-Node the load ends. For example, if you want a load to be applied only along the third-quarter of a beam, you specify 0.5 in the first field and 0.75 in the second field.
Specify the load curve that will be used to multiply the distributed load in the Load Case / Load Curve field. Press the Curve button to define a load curve in the, or use the Analysis: Parameters dialog. Specify an additional multiplier applied to this load in the Multiplier field.
For the load to maintain the same orientation with respect to the element as it deforms, activate the Follows Displacement check box (and the Large Displacement analysis type in the Element Definition). When using Follows Displacement, the following additional calculations are performed:

It depends almost entirely on how much data is being displayed in the document. Geospatial datasets can vary over several orders of magnitude ranging from bytes to terabytes, and so too do GeoPDF and all PDF documents. Here are some general rules:
- If no feature attributes are placed in the GeoPDF document, the PDF representation (e.g., the PDF file) is generally smaller than the data used to create it.
- If all the feature attributes are included in the PDF file, it's often larger, sometimes substantially so, than the data used to create it, although using GeoPackage feature attributes with TerraGo Publisher for ArcGIS can mitigate this substantially.
- One case where GeoPDF documents are almost always larger than their non-TerraGo analogs is when the TerraGo Publisher for ArcGIS capability to include layers with scale-dependent visibility is used. In this case, Publisher will add layers that wouldn't be added otherwise, meaning that more information was packed into the resultant document at the cost of the space to store it.

ROME.- Roman churches, funerary monuments and museums where artistic treasures are housed have been damaged in the Italian region affected by the earthquake. Even though the extent of the damage has not been calculated, David Rijser, an expert in Classic and Renaissance antiquities has tried to calculate the losses.
"It has been a true drama, there is a lot that has been lost, said David Rijser to Radio Nederland. In 1985 I visited the Abruzzo region for the first time. At that time there were no tourists, he told reporter Philip Smet by telephone. These days there are few art lovers in the region even though there are a lot of places that deserved to be visited. In L' Aguila and its surroundings there are many Roman and Gothic churches and other buildings from the XIII, XIV and XV centuries.
Italy today lives the tragedy caused by the earthquake that hit a region that is the birthplace of art and civilization. No other catastrophe can ever erase the memory of those who, throughout the centuries, marked the identity of their cities.
Among the masterpieces destroyed were the gothic church of Maria di Collemaggio, built in the 13th century in the mountainous region of Abruzzo that was the epicentre of the quake.
Sources from the Italian Superintendency of Cultural Heritage have stated that the Caracalla Thermal Baths, in Rome, have suffered damages due to the earthquake. Other Roman monuments in Rome have not suffered damages.

Stay in the Know
The FCC recently issued their proposed call authentication rules for comment, which are based on STIR/SHAKEN as mandated in the TRACED Act. The TRACED Act essentially mandates carrier deployment by June 30, 2021, though the FCC is proposing some extensions of the deadline in limited cases. It can be predicted with certainty that during an interim period there will be mix of carrier deployment timelines and inter-working issues will arise both before and after the deadline. For example, we know that time-division multiplexing based calls (i.e., non-STIR/SHAKEN authenticated calls) may be classified by a terminating STIR/SHAKEN-enabled carrier in a manner similar to unauthenticated, spoofed calls. Such concerns are not insurmountable; if we have tools to manage issues during this interim period, then we can tolerate some uncertainty.
Although call blocking using analytics is distinct from call authentication, there is a close relationship between call blocking and call authentication. Even though STIR/SHAKEN does not require using analytics to block calls, the results of the STIR/SHAKEN validation may be an input used by the analytics platform to determine whether a call qualifies as an illegal robocall for blocking. Call authentication provides an additional data point that can help in stopping illegal robocalls during the interim period. However, as we have seen, blocking calls using analytics is not perfect, and has the potential for exacerbating problems.
Minimizing the Impact of Errors During Early Deployment
There are four guiding principles that can significantly help minimize issues during the deployment of STIR/SHAKEN, particularly in the early phases. These principles will not prevent all types of problems from occurring, but they can minimize the impact of errors and allow an orderly migration path forward.
1. Notification When a Call is Blocked. Explicit notification by a carrier should inform the caller whenever a call is blocked. This should include providing both an audio intercept and a SIP error code to the caller so that regardless of whether the caller is a human or computer dialer, both are informed when a call is blocked. The notification should provide the caller with contact information for the terminating service provider to report an erroneously blocked call. Without knowing when calls are incorrectly blocked, future errors cannot be prevented. Mistakes by a carrier or analytics provider can be accepted to a certain extent; ignoring them and repeating them call-after-call cannot be tolerated.
2. Redress for Erroneously Blocked Calls. Carriers should offer effective and timely redress mechanisms for handling reports about calls being blocked in error. The functions of Notification and Redress go hand-in-hand; one cannot be effectively offered without the other.
3. Fully Authenticated Calls Should Not Be Blocked. Terminating carriers receiving "full" or "A" level attestation on calls should presume those calls to be legal and should not block those calls using predictive analytics. Fully authenticated calls, if suspicious, can be quickly traced back to their originating carrier and originator. Such calls should be presumed legitimate and should be investigated; then, if deemed necessary, these calls can be blocked in the future. Analytics should be used for potentially blocking only "B" (partial) and "C" (gateway) level attested calls. These calls should not receive the same presumption of legitimacy. Since "B" and "C" level calls cannot be unambiguously distinguished between various types of calls (i.e., both a domestic call from a TDM network and an international scam robocall can appear as "C" level attestation), analytics may have a continuing role in defining how these calls should be treated.
4. Authorized Numbers Should Receive "Full" or "A" level Attestation. Enterprises, upon providing evidence to their originating carrier of authorization to use a number by business agreement or other evidence (even if the number was not provided by that carrier to the enterprise), should be eligible to receive "A" level attestation. This aspect is explicitly memorialized in the ATIS standard, though it only describes an optional policy that carriers may adopt. Encouraging carriers to adopt this policy would address a persistent problem (called the 'enterprise problem') that involves enterprises using the same calling party number on calls offered to multiple originating carriers. Because fully authenticated calls are easily 'tracked and traced', such enterprises will subject themselves to scrutiny if they employ questionable calling practices.
A Near-Term Solution for a Complex Situation
Yes, there are myriads of details and issues that remain to be worked out in the coming months and years regarding STIR/SHAKEN deployment. Yes, there will be situations where calls may be invalidly blocked using predictive analytics. But, being able to identify and correct such mistakes using notification and redress functions (and thus help improve the accuracy of analytics) is something most everyone would agree is a desirable goal. There also will be situations where fully authenticated calls may be determined to be, in fact, illegal in some manner. However, STIR/SHAKEN technology can now quickly identify these callers and their originating carriers. Recent FCC actions have shown how regulators and the industry can quickly minimize their impact. Finally, there are enterprises that require use of multiple carriers and cannot tolerate their fully authorized numbers receiving less than "A" level attestation. While more complex solutions to this 'enterprise problem' are being discussed in standards, the existing standard allows a suitable solution for the near future. This solution does not require any slow down of the STIR/SHAKEN deployment.
Adopting these four principles will go a long way to facilitate STIR/SHAKEN deployment and calm the anxiety and concerns over various call originators as to how their calls will be treated. Carriers, too, can receive safe-harbor treatment if they adopt these principles. Industry and regulators are urged to adopt these guidelines to ease the transition into the STIR/SHAKEN environment.

In the continued drive for greater fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, Caterpillar has developed a hybrid propulsion system, ideal for tugboats or many other marine applications. The Cat Hybrid Propulsion System brings a great deal of flexibility to the vessel, giving captains several options in how they operate their tug. If your vessel spends the majority of its time in standby, position-keeping or low-speed transit modes, a conventional diesel-mechanic propulsion system may be costing you too much in fuel, maintenance and overall lifecycle expenses. Hybrid propulsion systems give you the full diesel-mechanic power and performance you need in work mode — then let you switch to more efficient diesel-electric operation in other applications. The result? Higher average engine load, fuel savings, significantly reduced maintenance costs, increased uptime and a lot more.
The Cat Hybrid Propulsion System can be developed as stem-to-stern solution, with a pair of primary diesel engines connected to the vessel's azimuth drives. In addition to the diesel engines, the Cat Hybrid Propulsion System includes VFD controlled booster motors, which are also tied to the azimuth drives. The booster motors are powered by generator sets and/or batteries and the load balancing and switching between operation modes are handled in a highly optimized control system.
Popular power options for the Cat Hybrid Propulsion System include Caterpillar's highly esteemed 3500 marine power series, and a suitable selection of generator sets.
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF UTILIZING DIESEL AND ELECTRIC TOGETHER?
If maximum performance is needed from the azimuth drives, a captain can combine full power from the diesel engines with the booster motors to get top bollard pull. If, though, the vessel is in transit or in standby, then the main diesel engines can be shut down and the smaller generators used to create enough thrust. And if conventional tugboat capabilities are desired, the diesel engines can be used to power the azimuth thrusters without the booster motors. This ability to switch on the fly offers obvious benefits, including:
- Increased fuel efficiency – In transit or standby, the vessel can run its smaller generators at a higher load, getting more out of every drop of fuel.
- Reduced running hours – With additional power options on the vessel, captains can protect their primary engines from unnecessary wear.
- Reduced maintenance costs – Caterpillar's C-series of generator sets are smaller than the 3500 engines, which means they are easier to service, and cost less to do so. Captains can take advantage of this by prioritizing generator usage whenever possible.
- Reduced emissions – Better fuel efficiency and higher average engine load means lower emissions.
The Cat Hybrid Propulsion System gives every captain what they want – options. And with more options comes more performance and more efficiency.

Public-Private-Civil Society Partnership: A Gateway to Ensuring Good Governance Practices of Vocational Education Programme in South-South Nigerian Federal Universities
There is an increasing evidence that education generally and vocational education particularly in Nigeria is facing serious challenge of financial resource mismanagement, which seem to be traceable to high level of corruption or corrupt practices exhibited by school administrators. This unpleasant situation has contributed to lack of effectiveness and efficiency, accountability, transparency, and integrity in the utilization of funds for execution of projects. However, the quest to achieve the main objectives of vocational education appears to be rather unrealistic. Therefore, the issue of mismanagement or lack of clarity in the utilization of funds for execution of projects have called for the coalition of all major stakeholders within and outside Nigeria so as to help bypass the corrupt governance of vocational education programme. This study aims at investigating the extent to which public-private-civil society partnership (PPCSP) can help in establishing good governance practices of vocational education programme in Federal Universities in South-South geopolitical region of Nigeria. Four research questions were raised and answered using the Mean and standard deviations descriptive statistics, and four corresponding null hypotheses were formulated and tested using the t-test statistic. A descriptive survey research design was employed for the study. The study population comprised of all the vocational education lecturers in South-South Nigerian Federal Universities. A 4-point scaled questionnaire was administered to 154 vocational education lecturers. The instrument was validated by 4 experts, and the reliability coefficient using Cronbach alpha was α=.90. The analysis of the data collected revealed that to a very high extent PPCSP can help in promoting good governance practices (e.g., effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, accountability, and integrity) in the utilization of funds for execution of projects by vocational education administrators. When the corresponding null hypotheses were tested, the study found no significant difference in the Mean responses of male and female vocational education lecturers as regards the extent to which PPCSP can help in promoting good governance practices in the utilization of funds for execution of projects. Based on these findings, there is the need for all the major stakeholders of vocational education within and outside Nigeria to collaborate in order to promote good governance practices in the utilization of funds for execution of projects by vocational education administrators.

The shock incarceration is a short-term imprisonment usually applied to a first-time convict under the theory that it may have better rehabilitation results than a mere suspended sentence. In Estonian legal practice, a few weeks or months of an imprisonment that would otherwise be either immediate or suspended can be converted into shock incarceration, and the trial courts are empowered to decide individually on every case whether it would be appropriate. The rest of the full term will remain suspended, and will not be enforced if the convict does not commit new crimes during a set term, usually a few years.


text: Early onset aggression precipitates a cascade of risk factors, increasing the probability of a range of externalizing and internalizing psychopathological outcomes. Unfortunately, decades of research on the etiological contributions to the manifestation of aggression have failed to yield identification of any risk factors determined to be either necessary or sufficient, likely attributable to etiological heterogeneity within the construct of aggression. Differential pathways of etiological risk are not easily discerned at the behavioral or self-report level, particularly in young children, requiring multilevel analysis of risk pathways. This study focuses on three domains of risk to examine the heterogeneity in 207 urban kindergarten children with high levels of aggression: cognitive processing, socioemotional competence and emotion processing, and family context. The results indicate that 90% of children in the high aggression group could be characterized as either low in verbal ability or high in physiological arousal (resting skin conductance). Children characterized as low verbal, high arousal, or both differed in social and emotional competence, physiological reactivity to emotion, and aspects of family-based contextual risk. The implications of this etiologic heterogeneity of aggression are discussed in terms of assessment and treatment.

WordPress Deprecated Functions Hook
Deprecated Functions
There is a need to inform both theme and plugin developers and users of the usage of deprecated functions. In WordPress 2.4, a way to do that was added.
The following gives instructions on how to turn on the deprecated functions reporting, what hooks can be used for when deprecated functions are used, and code snippets demonstrating how all of this can be accomplished.
Normal Deprecated Function Reporting
When WP_DEBUG is enabled in wp-config.php, it will turn on the notices that deprecated functions were used. When WP_DEBUG is turned off or does not exist, then no reporting will be given.
This prevents the notices for everyday users who are uninterested in receiving these reports. As a consequence, only the users who actively enable WP_DEBUG will receive the information. Those users will not know to upgrade, unless they use a plugin which they download and activate.
The following code snippet enables WP_DEBUG and needs to be placed in wp-config.php.
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
Deprecated Function/File Action Hooks
When a deprecated function is used, the 'deprecated_function_run' hook is called. Whenever a deprecated file is included, the 'deprecated_file_included' hook is called. These hooks are actions and do not return anything. The 'deprecated_function_run' is passed the function and the replacement. The 'deprecated_file_included' is passed the file and which file replaced the deprecated one.
If the hooked function wishes to keep track of which deprecated function were run and how many times, the hooked function will have to do that itself.
Which function called the deprecated function or file is not known and is up to the plugin to perform a back trace to get that information.
Preventing the Notices From Displaying
When a plugin uses the above hooks, it could prevent notices from being displayed, even with WP_DEBUG enabled. It is then assumed that if a plugin hooked into both 'deprecated_function_run' and 'deprecated_file_included' that it would record and display the information in a more friendly matter.
To prevent the notices from displaying for functions, the 'deprecated_function_trigger_error' filter hook should return false. To prevent notices from displaying for files, the 'deprecated_file_trigger_error' filter hook should return false.
If a plugin does not have a way to display the deprecated function or file usage, then the plugin should not prevent the notices from appearing when WP_DEBUG is turned on. It should also make sure that the deprecated information is not displayed where any visitor can see it.


NHibernate Caching: The Secong Level Cache Space Is Shared!
time to read 3 min | 439 words
Let us assume that you have an architecture that demands that you'll have a database per client (quite common, by my experiance), but the application layers are the same. This is usually done for reasons of security and/or scalability. So there is no way a client can get information for another client.
This is fairly simple to handle with NHibernate, you just create a session factory per each client. This is actually an advantage, since you can start playing with the implementations of the classes for each client. (Yes, you are reading me correctly. In this case, it possible to turn NHibernate into an Inversion Of Control container).
The issue turns up when you have caching turned on. Assuming you have an entity of the same type with the same identifier in two of the databases, you may very will mix the data when it is cached. NHibernate maintain a single second level cache per session factory, so you are supposed to be safe from this. The problem is that the cache space is shared (and it has to be shared).
Let us take an example of an Employee object with id of #5, which exist in both IniTech and Fuzbar databases. When the employee instnace is loaded and put in the cache, the cache key that is used looks something like: "NHibernate:Entities.EmployeeManagement.Employee:5@5". Now, when we try to load an employee from the second database, we first lookup in the cache, finding that there is an instance there, because the cache keys matches.
This is happening because the cache space (so to speak) is the same space for all the caching strategies. For SysCache, it is the ASP.Net cache that is used for the cache space. For distributed caching, Memcached is used. In both cases, if the same cache key is generated, the information will be returned even if the key was actually inserted by another session factory.
In this sceanrio, I solved the issue by modifying the SysCacheProvider to be aware of the current database, and insert the current database name to the cache key. This solved all the issues in one stroke.
The JIRA issue for this is here. I was surprised to learn that I was the first to encounter this, and in the comments to the JIRA issue, I found that indeed I wasn't the first. :-)
The issue is solve by specifying cache region prefix in the session factory configuration, but the functionality wasn't ported to NHibernate yet.

There are many reasons you might choose to forget a Wi-Fi network, especially while troubleshooting wireless network problems. Regardless of the causes, provided below are a few solutions on how to forget your Wi-Fi Network swiftly.
How to Remove a Wi-Fi Network on a Macbook?
Here's how you can remove a Wi-Fi network on a Macbook.
- Head to the Menu Bar at the top of the Mac home screen.
(You may also opt to navigate towards the WiFi settings by clicking on the Apple Logo at the far left of the menu bar and heading towards the System Preferences)
- Click on the Wi-Fi icon present on the Menu Bar.
- As soon as you click on this, a menu bar will appear. Click on the Advanced Options at the bottom of the menu.
- The Advanced Option leads to another tray with detailed options based on managing your computer networks.
- You will notice a list of Wi-Fi networks located under Preferred Networks.
- Select the Network you would like to be removed and Press on the (–) symbol located below it.
- Your Macbook will then reconfirm the option in another Dialog Box.
- Select the Remove option. The selected Wi-Fi is now removed.
How to Remove Wi-Fi Network Using Keychain Access?
Apple devices have a file named Keychain Access which stores all your login, passwords and other information related to your Macbook accounts. This file also lets you access your WiFi network passwords.
You can remove your Wi-Fi network through this file as well. Follow the steps below to remove your WiFi network via Keychain Access.
- Open Launchpad on your Macbook.
- Search for Keychains in the Search Bar located at the top of the Launchpad.
- Click on the Keychain Access Application.
- As soon as you open the application, the list of saved passwords in your current and connected iOS Devices will appear. Press on the column with the Kind category enlisted.
- This makes it easier to distinguish the AirPort Network Passwords.
- Control Press on the WiFi Network you'd like to forget.
- Select the Delete option.
How to Retrieve a Wi-Fi Password Using Keychain Access?
After forgetting a Wi-Fi network, you might find yourself in another fix to access it later. There is a file that stores all our previous passwords.
Keychain Access comes to the rescue once again. You can easily retrieve your old Wi-Fi passwords using these simple steps:
- Open Keychain Access in your Macbook.
- Under the Kind category, you will find the list of all specified types of saved passwords. Scroll saved Wi-Fi passwords through the Airport Network Password and search the Wi-Fi network you'd like to retrieve.
- Control Press the network you would like to retrieve and select the Get Info option.
- Another Dialog Box will appear with details based on the selected Wi-Fi. Select the Show Password option.
- This will guide you to another Dialog Box, prompting you to enter your Keychain Access Password. Enter your Macbook login password (Username Password) and Press Ok.
- You have now successfully retrieved your WiFi Password.
How to Prioritize Your Wi-Fi Networks?
Instead of forgetting networks, you may also opt to prioritize stronger WiFi Networks. Saving the old networks instead of deleting them helps you keep older networks available for a rainy day. Here are a few quick steps to prioritize a network:
- Following the steps mentioned above, navigate towards the Network Settings.
- Press on the Advanced button.
- This opens up another box with all the WiFi Network Connections placed under Network Name.
- Simply, select the WiFi Network connection that you would like to prioritize and move it above other WiFi networks. The higher the Wi-Fi placement, the bigger the priority.
- So, the next time you open your Macbook and try to connect a known Wi-Fi, it will connect based on priority in the list.
Why Is My Wi-Fi Network Lagging?
Your router can usually support up to 250 devices at once. However, if there are many devices connected, the bandwidth will be distributed. This can ultimately cause lagging and bad reception.
