Database of Lithuanian Nominal Phrases Dictionary is the first corpus-based dictionary of Lithuanian multi-word units.
The lexicon reflects a big variety of multi-word units: collocations, phrasal combinations, longer pieces of text (sometimes even several sentences). The identification of the nominal phrases is based on gravity counts in the 100m words Contemporary Corpus of Lithuanian Languages. The corpus reflects the written Lithuanian in the period of _PHONE_. The list of automatically identified MWU's was edited by linguists, only leaving meaningful and grammatically correct phrases that include at least one noun. The dictionary comprises almost 69 thousand nominal phrases.

UmAlQuraCalendar.ToFourDigitYear Method
Converts the specified year to a four-digit year by using the TwoDigitYearMax property to determine the appropriate century.
Namespace: System.Globalization
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public override int ToFourDigitYear(
 int year
Type: System.Int32
A 2-digit year from 0 through 99, or a 4-digit Um Al Qura calendar year from 1318 through 1450.
Return Value
Type: System.Int32
If the year parameter is a 2-digit year, the return value is the corresponding 4-digit year. If the year parameter is a 4-digit year, the return value is the unchanged year parameter.
year is outside the range supported by this calendar.
The ToFourDigitYear method uses the year parameter, the TwoDigitYearMax property, and a year to calculate a 4-digit year. The century is determined by finding the sole occurrence of the 2-digit year parameter within that 100-year range. For example, if TwoDigitYearMax is set to 1429, the 100-year range is from 1330 through 1429. Therefore, a 2-digit value of 30 is interpreted as 1330, while a 2-digit value of 29 is interpreted as 1429.
If the TwoDigitYearMax property is the special value 99, the ToFourDigitYear method ignores the settings in the regional and language options in Control Panel and returns the year parameter unchanged.
The year parameter can be either a two-digit year or a four-digit year. If year is a two-digit year value (less than 100), the method converts year to a four-digit value according to the TwoDigitYearMax value representing the appropriate century. If year is a four-digit year value that is within the supported calendar range, the method returns year unchanged. If year is a four-digit value that is outside the supported calendar range, or if it is a negative value, the method throws an exception.

Rev Julian Mann: How many police officers does it take to arrest a vicar who sticks to theological orthodoxy?
The question that arises from the claim by a British values monitor on BBC Radio 4 that 'if you speak it (the opinion that homosexuality is wrong) out loud, you might be breaking the law' is this:
If speaking against homosexual practice did become illegal in Britain, what should happen to individuals who transgressed?
Or, to put the question another way, how many police officers should be deployed in an arrest against, for example, an Anglican vicar who preached on 1 Corinthians 6v9-11 in his church?
At what time of the day should, say, 13 police officers enter the vicarage?
Should the BBC be informed in advance of the arrest and a helicopter deployed?
And what should happen to the offender? How many hours of diversity training should he be subjected to in his cell?
And should he be allowed access to a Gideon Bible whilst in custody or indeed whilst he was on parole?
These are surely pressing questions that cannot be avoided in the light of recent developments in the administration of British criminal justice.
TCW readers must judge for themselves from their own reading of the New Testament whether it allows sex outside heterosexual marriage for Christians. The judgement of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer in its Solemnisation of Matrimony is that it does not, describing extramarital sex as 'fornication'.
Some Anglicans may consider that the insights of 'recent scholarship' should lead the Church of England to revise its doctrine on this question. But given that such revision goes against the plain meaning of the Bible, such an approach would involve imposing an extra-biblical authority on the Church.
For those Anglicans who agree with the historic teaching of the Church of England that the Bible is the supreme and final authority in matters of faith and conduct, the criminalisation of verbal opposition to homosexual practice would certainly broaden their experience of modern British policing.

Coventry University Depression and Anxiety Support
The CUDAS is a decision aid which aims to support health professionals in assessing depression and / or anxiety in people with long-term physical conditions. It also supports health care professionals in directing the patient to get the right support for them.
The screening assessment picks up over 90% of people who may have low mood or some anxiety, and so are very sensitive. If the screening assessment concludes that the person does not seem to suffer from low mood or anxiety then no further action is required. As the assessment is so sensitive, it may identify people as having low mood or anxiety that do not have a significant problem. That is why further tests are needed in order to be more specific.
The tools that give us specific feedback are the GAD-7 (measuring anxiety), PHQ-9 (measuring depression) and the suicide risk assessment. Both the GAD-7 and PHQ-9 are interested in how often a person has been experiencing symptoms, if at all, over the past 2 weeks only.
The measures have good reliability and validity in screening for anxiety and depression and assessing its severity. *

Background Although many school-based diet and physical activity interventions have been designed and evaluated, relatively few have been tested for the after-school setting. After-school day-care programmes at either elementary schools or private locations provide a ready-made opportunity for health programmes that may be difficult to incorporate into an already-full school day. The purpose of this paper is to report on a pilot study of an after-school adaptation of the CATCH (Coordinated Approach To Child Health) elementary school programme called the CATCH Kids Club (CKC).
Methods The CKC was pilot-tested and formatively evaluated in 16 Texas after-school programmes: eight in El Paso and eight in Austin (four intervention and four reference sites each). Evaluation consisted of direct observation of moderate to vigorous physical activity during play time, self-reported food intake and physical activity, and focus group interviews with after-school programme staff.
Results Students responded well to the physical activity and snack components and were less interested in the five-module education component. Routine staff training was a key variable in achieving proper implementation; the ideal would be a full day with repeated follow-up model teaching visits. Staff turnover was a logistic issue, as was programme leader readiness and interest in conducting the programme. Strong and significant effects were observed for the physical activity but not for the education component. The results of the physical education component suggest it is feasible, effective and ready for larger-scale evaluation or dissemination.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Mirroring the results of research in adults, a new study shows that white children are at a higher risk of breaking a bone than children of other races.
The researchers say that genetics might have something to do with the differences, but it's also possible that environmental factors - such as participation in sports - could play a role.
Earlier studies have shown that white women are more likely to suffer a fracture than black women (see Reuters Health report of May 3, 2005).
Tishya Wren, the lead author of the study and professor at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, said her study stemmed from a larger research program looking at children's bone health.
The study included 1,470 girls and boys aged six to 17 years old, whose bone density and broken bones were tracked for six years.
"When I separated our data by race...we noticed this very interesting relationship, which hasn't really been recognized (in children) before," Wren said.
She and her colleagues found that 22 percent of the white kids had had a fracture, while only 12 percent of the other children had experienced a fracture.
White boys appeared to be the most at risk. By the end of the study, about 28 percent had had a fracture, compared to about 18 percent of white girls, 12 percent of non-white boys and six percent of non-white girls.
Most of the fractures occurred while the kids were playing sports, and Wren's group found that lower body fat and more participation in sports were tied to an increased risk of fracture.
For instance, playing sports more than four days per week was tied to a 35 percent increased risk of having a fracture, the group reports in The Journal of Pediatrics.
After the researchers took into account risk factors, such as how many sports the kids played and their body type, they still found that white children had about a two-fold risk of fracturing a bone.
"We think some of it must be related to a genetic type of effect," Wren told Reuters Health. "We also think there might be something inherent in the bone itself that's causing it to be more susceptible to fracture."
SOCIOECONOMICS MAY PLAY A ROLE
Still, Ryan noted, it's possible that the study didn't fully capture how much exposure kids had to high-risk activities, because the researchers didn't examine the children's socioeconomic status.
Ryan said other studies have shown that more children from wealthier families are more likely to play organized sports.
"I would use caution in definitively stating that these findings reflect a racial disparity without incorporating socioeconomic status," she told Reuters Health.
Wren said that until the contributors to the increased risk of broken bones are nailed down, it is important to use the findings to keep parents and doctors aware of the risks.
She said she would not tell parents to avoid sports to reduce kids' risks, because other studies have found that kids with higher body mass and less dense bone - signs indicative of being inactive - are at a greater risk of having a fracture from low-impact injuries.

Hangzhou's climate is Humid Subtropical with four distinctive seasons. The average annual temperature in Hangzhou is 16.2°C (61.2°F). The summers are hot and humid, while winters are relatively cool and dry. In July, the hottest month, the average temperature is approximately 33.8°C (92.8°F); in January the average temperature is about 3.6°C (38.5°F). Hangzhou receives an average annual rainfall of 1450 mm. In mid-summer, Hangzhou, along with other cities in Zhejiang province, suffer typhoon storms, but typhoons seldom strike it directly. Generally they make land along the southern coast of Zhejiang, and affect Hangzhou with str ong winds and stormy rains.

Hangzhou is a travel destination which has four traditional seasons, predictable by the standard calendar. The summers are warm and the winters are cool. In spring, everything is in bloom and in autumn there are colored leaves everywhere. Because of this, it is relatively comfortable to visit the area at any time of year and travelers can pretty much be guaranteed beautiful natural scenery during any month. Visitors interested in seeing the plants in bloom but missing the bulk of the rain should aim for heading to the area just after the rainy season ends in late June. Travelers interested in enjoying winter activities should wait until at least December if not early January. This is when the snow falls in the area, covering the lake and making the area particularly beautiful.
In terms of actual temperature, the hottest month of the year is July which has an average high temperature of just over ninety degrees. The coldest month of the year is January when temperatures hover just above freezing. The wettest month of the year is usually June, which averages eight inches of rain and the driest months are the winter months.

action in the same way as it would be for an assertion. If the action does not have support, then Pfc trys each of the methods it knows to undo the action until one of them succeeds.
In fact, in Pfc, one declares an action as undoable just by defining a method to accomplish the undoing. This is done via the predicate pfcUndo/2. The predicate pfcUndo(A1,A2) is true if executing A2 is a possible way to undo the execution of A1. For example, we might want to couple an assertional representation of a set of graph nodes with a graphical display of them through the use of Pfc rules:
at(N,XY) => {displayNode(N,XY)}.
arc(N1,N2) => {displayArc(N1,N2}.

Who, what, why: What happens when a country loses its 'birth certificate'?
Breaking News
However, as Fiji celebrated the 40th anniversary of winning independence from the UK, its government admitted it had lost the legal Independence Order presented to ministers by Prince Charles in 1970.
And after five years of scouring files in government departments, it was forced to take the embarrassing step of asking its former colonial masters for a photocopy.
But when a country loses such a document, does the right to independence go with it?
Almost certainly not, according to Catherine Redgwell, professor of international law at University College London.
Independence papers, meanwhile, are largely symbolic items.
In the same way that losing your birth certificate does not mean you cease to exist, the legitimacy of a state does not rest on a piece of paper, agrees Prof Roda Mushkat....

A junior high school teacher who was fired in March plans to sue the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and its education board over what she is calling illegal punishment, sources familiar with the case said Wednesday.
The teacher, whose name has been withheld, was dismissed on March 31 from her position at a public school run by Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward for describing a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly and a history text publisher as "history distorters" last year, the sources said.
In a document she circulated in her civics classes in August last year, the teacher criticized the assembly member and a publisher who is associated with a group that promotes revisionist views on wartime history by writing: "It is a shame that they do not recognize Japan's war of aggression."
The document mentioned the Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform, a group that played a leading role in editing a history textbook that has drawn fire both at home and from China and South Korea for allegedly whitewashing Japan's past militarism and attempting to justify its invasions of other Asian countries.
The teacher was reprimanded over the document and underwent a retraining program from last September to March, but ended up being fired, the sources said.
The teacher believes remarks by the assembly member and the history textbook contradict the government's recognition of Japan's wartime aggression, and that telling her students about them was therefore not inappropriate.
The woman argues that the reprimand last August was an abuse of the education board's right to discipline teachers and that her dismissal is illegal.

Height: 85.000 cm
Bear or Goose house
From: Kayang, British Columbia (Haida)
Date: AD 1890s
The Haida people live on the Northwest coast of North America. They used to build wooden houses for their whole clan (extended family) to live in during the wet winter months. Totem poles, memorials to important chiefs, would be raised outside many houses. These can still be seen today, carved with stories about the clan of the owner.
This is a model of one of these houses, belonging to either the Bear or the Goose clan. The pole tells the story of a man who proved that he could hunt by catching a whale. You can see the man and the whale near the bottom of the pole.

- "action in resistance or response to another action or power," 1610s, from re- "again, anew" + action (q.v.). Modeled on French réaction, older Italian reattione, from Medieval Latin reactionem (nominative reactio), noun of action formed in Late Latin from past participle stem of Latin reagere "react," from re- "back" + agere "to do, act" (see act (v.)).
Originally scientific; physiological sense is attested from 1805; psychological sense first recorded 1887; general sense of "action or feeling in response" (to a statement, event, etc.) is recorded from 1914. Reaction time, "time elapsing between the action of an external stimulus and the giving of a signal in reply," attested by 1874.

one of a Native American people living near the Ottawa River in Canada, 1620s, from French Algonquin, perhaps a contraction of Algoumequin, from Micmac algoomeaking "at the place of spearing fish and eels." But Bright suggests Maliseet (Algonquian) elægomogwik "they are our relatives or allies."
Algonquian was the name taken late 19c. by ethnologists to describe a large group of North American Indian peoples, including this tribe. The Algonquin Hotel (59 W. 44th Street, Manhattan) opened 1902 and was named by manager Frank Case for the tribes that had lived in that area. A circle of journalists, authors, critics, and wits began meeting there daily in 1919 and continued through the twenties; they called themselves "The Vicious Circle," but to others they became "The Round Table."

An easy way to manage contracts
Why was contractualSugar created?
For lack of a decent free software alternative to the commercial
contract management behemoths.
On whose shoulders was contractualSugar based?
As a contract management facility, it is necessary to store the
metadata associated with executed contracts somewhere safe and efficient.
The obvious choice is a database. Rather than hardcoding a particular
database as the storage base, contractualSugar uses an ORM (Object

Both objective and subjective relative consumption in the neighbourhood is positively associated with satisfaction. Male satisfaction is associated strongly with relative consumption but female satisfaction is not. Separated or widowed females are less happy than males indicating a vulnerability that acts as a disincentive to leave husbands during marital problems. Polygamous females in traditional religions are less satisfied than other females whilst there is some evidence that male Muslims in polygamous relationships are more satisfied.

How do shoes affect foot skeleton stresses in racehorses? An international research team is tackling the question in a project that is likely to benefit the racing industry and protect horses from injury.
Horse hooves have the ability to naturally deform during locomotion and dissipate locomotor stresses, yet farriery approaches are used to increase performance and protect hooves from wear, the study team, writing in the journal PeerJ, noted.
"Previous studies have assessed the effect of different shoe designs on locomotor performance; however, no biomechanical study has hitherto measured the effect of horseshoes on the stresses of the foot skeleton in vivo [in the living organism].'
Musculoskeletal injury is one of the main animal welfare concerns in the racing industry, notes University of Queensland School of Biomedical Sciences research team leader Dr Olga Panagiotopoulou.
The researchers from the University of Queensland, the Royal Veterinary College in Britain, and Brown University in the United States are using a new approach that combines three-dimensional x-ray imaging technology with computer simulations and models to show the forces exerted on bones.
"This novel combination has enabled us to study the effect of a stainless steel horseshoe on skeletal stresses within the forefoot in a live racehorse,"" she explains. "This is the first time this combination of techniques has been used in large live animals such as horses.
"Future research using more animals will enhance our understanding of what regions of the horses' feet are most at risk of damage."
The method was used successfully in a preliminary case study at the Royal Veterinary College in London.
Royal Veterinary College vertebrate biomechanics and evolutionary anatomy researcher Professor John Hutchinson says further research is necessary.
"We need to undertake further studies with more horses moving at faster speeds and gaits and with a similar focus on the hind feet."
The research involved walking a thoroughbred between three-dimensional x-ray machines, an imaging technique developed by Professor Stephen Gatesy and colleagues at Brown University and used previously to view bone interaction in small animals such as fish and birds.
Panagiotopoulou used film industry animation techniques to transform the radiographic data into a life-size three-dimensional model.
"By combining the 3D model with other research data we were able to measure the force the horse's foot bones generated when they hit the ground and develop comprehensive simulations," she says.
"We believe this work could pave the way for new directions in research which will minimise foot injuries and improve animal health and welfare."
Their preliminary findings pointed to increases in some stresses on the forefoot phalanges in the shod condition at mid-stance, consistent with the tentative conclusion that a steel shoe might increase mechanical loading.
"However, because of our limited sample size none of these apparent differences have been tested for statistical significance," the study team wrote in their paper.
"Our preliminary study illustrates how the shoe may influence the dynamics and mechanics of a thoroughbred horse's forefoot during slow walking, but more research is needed to quantify the effect of the shoe on the equine forefoot during the whole stance phase, at faster speeds/gaits and with more individuals as well as with a similar focus on the hind feet."
They anticipated that their preliminary analysis and new approach would pave the way for new directions in research on the form/function relationship of the equine foot, with the ultimate goal to minimise foot injuries and improve animal health and welfare.
"Despite our study's restriction to measuring a few steps of one individual and assuming a static posture and massless foot segments, it is an important example of the integration of 3D biomechanical methods and their application to fundamental problems in equine locomotion, care and welfare."
Panagiotopoulou O, Rankin JW, Gatesy SM, Hutchinson JR. (2016) A preliminary case study of the effect of shoe-wearing on the biomechanics of a horse's foot. PeerJ 4:e2164 _URL_
The research techniques shown in this video allowed researchers to zoom into the skin and hoof and measure the motion of the horse's foot skeleton, which is not possible by other methods.

The finest soups, roasts and sweet buns were daily fare in the Salzburg villa. Johanna Raudaschl lived there almost as part of the family, as she recalls vividly in her memoirs. She began collecting her recipes - for both food and life - where she grew up, an illegitimate child, in the modest rural surroundings of the Salzkammergut [Austria's lake district]. Her grandmother taught her the secrets of cooking and baking. During her apprentice years she refined her culinary skills, and the Trapp family then benefited from her resourcefulness in the kitchen. She handed down her treasured recipes to her grand-daughter Irmgard Wohrl, who tried them out and now, together with journalist and biographer Caroline Kleibel, reveals them in the context of the moving story of Johanna Raudaschl's life. The grandmother of the author Irmgard Wohrl became close with the singing family known from the worldwide renowned Musical Sound of Music. This book reveals stories about the Trapp-Family that were never told before.

Semilogarithmic plot
h = semilogy(...)
semilogy plots data with logarithmic scale for the y-axis.
semilogy(Y) creates a plot using a base 10 logarithmic scale for the y-axis and a linear scale for the x-axis. It plots the columns of Y versus their index if Y contains real numbers. semilogy(Y) is equivalent to semilogy(real(Y), imag(Y)) if Y contains complex numbers. semilogy ignores the imaginary component in all other uses of this function.
semilogy(X1,Y1,...) plots all Yn versus Xn pairs. If only one of Xn or Yn is a matrix, semilogy plots the vector argument versus the rows or columns of the matrix, along the dimension of the matrix whose length matches the length of the vector. If the matrix is square, its columns plot against the vector if their lengths match.
semilogy(X1,Y1,LineSpec,...) plots all lines defined by the Xn,Yn,LineSpec triples. LineSpec determines line style, marker symbol, and color of the plotted lines.

Skinner presentation at GEOIDE 2009
The Geoweb Goes Wild: Developing A Participatory Geoweb Site As An Aid In Determining Rare Species Distribution, Randy Skinner, Yolanda Wiersma Erioderma pedicellatum (Ep), or boreal felt lichen, is critically endangered worldwide. Newfoundland currently has 95% of the known world population. The province of Newfoundland and Labrador has developed a five year management plan to assess the spatial distribution of Ep on the island. Surveys in the past have been largely opportunistic and focused on two hyperpopulated regions on the island. The provincial government has restricted use and development in regions where Ep has been found. To facilitate public awareness, as well as foster stewardship practices, our project will tap into the use of participatory Geoweb applications to gauge public awareness of the species in the province. Our project has a two‐fold focus. Web 2.0 widgets and applications will be used to develop a map-based interactive website so that users can pinpoint Ep sightings, add photos, or post forum info online. Web‐based aids will be provided to give the novice lichen hunter information and field tools to find and identify Ep. The ultimate goal is to determine the amount and degree of public input with Ep – a species that is still relatively unknown to the general public (i.e., uncharismatic), with a secondary objective of gathering more information on the spatial distribution of Ep. The second focus of our project will be to expand the Geoweb to allow for citizen‐derived observation about a suite of species, some of which will be more well‐known (charismatic) to the public. Public participation will be measured with each species via web statistics and user-generated input, noting the types of users, and the amount of participation and interest with each species. This project is part of a larger Phase IV Project (Team 41) on the Participatory Geoweb, which is being led by Dr. Renee Sieber of Mc Gill University.

Well, there's already a question like this here so that my question could be considered duplicate, but I'll try to make my point clear. Is there a way to derive Biot-Savart law from the Lorentz' Force law or just from Maxwell's Equations? The point is that we usually defined based on experiments that the force felt by a moving charge on the presence of a magnetic field is $F = qv\times B$, now can this be used in some way to obtain Biot-Savart law like we obtain the equation for the electric field directly from Coulomb's Force law?
And I wanted to know that because as pointed out in the question I've mentioned, although Maxwell's Equations can be considered more fundamental, those equations are obtained after we know Coulomb's and Biot-Savart's laws, so if we start with Maxwell's Equations to obtain Biot-Savart's having use it to find Maxwell's Equations then I think we'll fall into a circular argument. In that case, without recoursing to Maxwell's Equations the only way to obtain Biot-Savart's law is through observations or can it be derived somehow?

Neither Maxwell nor Biot-Savart are fundamental - all such formulas follow from Coulomb and a well-chosen definition of $B$, as mentioned tangentially in this short rant. – Chris White Jun 8 '13 at 20:13

Then $$\nabla\times\VB = \nabla\times(\nabla\times\VA) = \nabla(\nabla\cdot\VA) - \nabla^2\VA = -\nabla^2\VA.$$ But $$\nabla\times\VB - \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial\VE}{\partial t} = \mu_0 \VJ.$$ In the steady state this implies $$\nabla^2\VA = -\mu_0 \VJ.$$ Thus, we have Poisson's equation for each component of the above equation. The solution is $$\VA(\vr) = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\int \frac{\VJ(\vr')}{|\vr-\vr'|}d^3 r'.$$ Now we need only calculate $\VB = \nabla\times\VA$. But $$\nabla\times\frac{\VJ(\vr')}{|\vr-\vr'|} = \frac{\VJ(\vr')\times(\vr-\vr')}{|\vr-\vr'|^3}$$ and so $$\VB(\vr) = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\int \frac{\VJ(\vr')\times(\vr-\vr')}{|\vr-\vr'|^3} d^3 r'.$$ This is the Biot-Savart law for a wire of finite thickness. For a thin wire this reduces to $$\VB(\vr) = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\int \frac{I d{\bf l}\times(\vr-\vr')}{|\vr-\vr'|^3}.$$
Addendum: In mathematics and science it is important to keep in mind the distinction between the historical and the logical development of a subject. Knowing the history of a subject can be useful to get a sense of the personalities involved and sometimes to develop an intuition about the subject. The logical presentation of the subject is the way practitioners think about it. It encapsulates the main ideas in the most complete and simple fashion. From this standpoint, electromagnetism is the study of Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz force law. Everything else is secondary, including the Biot-Savart law.

But how I've seen it done, Maxwell's equations are derived from the biot-savart law, which would make this circular. – JLA Jun 8 '13 at 20:24
_USER_: I've added something to address the "circularity" you refer to. – user26872 Jun 8 '13 at 23:00
It may be true that in days of yore people measured the force resulting from a filamentary current, discovering the Biot-Savart law, and then in turn used that as inspiration to construct Maxwell's equations. If that's how it actually happened historically, fine.
But this is analogous to some alien archaeologist 10 million years from now finding a skeletal hand and foot in the Earth. From the hand, the archaeologist comes to understand what the animal who had that hand liked to do with it: that it could grasp and use tools and so on. From the foot, the archaeologist it comes to understand that the animal it belonged to walked on two legs and that it typically weighed in adulthood around 100-300 pounds.
Only later does the archaeologist that the hand and the foot both belonged to the same animal--a human being. But the nature of the work means that the puzzle of what a human being was has to be broken down into chunks that can be individually understood before the whole picture can come together. That said, it would be backwards to suggest the hand and the foot are more fundamental than the human being itself.
The Maxwell equations have been constructed to be consistent with the Biot-Savart law and other pieces of information, like Coulomb's law. Thus, you can derive Biot-Savart from Maxwell, but not the other way around, for Maxwell is more general and all-encompassing.
If you already know the Lorentz force law, you can infer the strength of the magnetic field from a wire just by shooting charged test particles near the wire and observing their motion. But this calls into question how you already know the Lorentz force law, and so on.
You can go in circles all day over what is or is not fundamental, over what must be based on experimental observation and what is merely constructed to be consistent with those observations, but often there's a preference for "simple" experimental observations being considered fundamental vs. theoretical constructs that incorporate many such observations--see Chris White's comment that Maxwell's equations can be derived from Coulomb's law and some other stuff.
To me, this is silly. Maxwell's equations incorporate the sum total of our observations (those that fit the classical regime, at least). To me, it is what we know about classical electromagnetism. To say that you can derive Maxwell's equation with only one result plus a few assumptions...well, it misses the point that those assumptions also had to be tested and verified in the first place. To me, it is very very backwards to single out special cases (pure electric, pure magnetic, static or dynamic fields) and treat them as "fundamental".
Edit: but really, a physicist needs to work in both directions. To create new theory, we often have special cases that we don't know are connected and must bridge them together. That's building Maxwell's equations from Coulomb's law and Biot-Savart. To analyze a particular problem most easily, one we're not sure there is a special-case formula for, we must resort to the most general description (Maxwell) and try to reduce it down to something simpler and easier to solve (in the case of no current and no time-dependence, you can get back to Coulomb's law). Both approaches are necessary to be as flexible as possible.

Are creams and lotions the same?
Asked By: Elaid Martini | Last Updated: 22nd April, 2020
Category: style and fashion skin care
4.2/5 (45 Views. 16 Votes)
Perhaps the biggest difference between lotion and cream is that lotions have a higher water content. A lotion is typically a mix of water and droplets of oil, is lighter weight than cream, and is non-greasy. Creams are thicker in consistency than lotions and provide a barrier that keeps skin ultra-hydrated.

Also, what is the main difference between a lotion and a cream?
The biggest difference between a cream and lotion is the oil content. Creams have a larger percentage of oil content and are most useful to deeply nourish and hydrate very dry skin. Creams are generally better in the winter when there is less moisture in the air, or in dry climates.
Likewise, people ask, is lotion or cream better for face?
In general, creams are better for people with dry skin while lotions are better for those with oily skin. The thicker formulas lock in moisture and/or provide a protective layer to better keep skin hydrated and supple. Thinner formulas help prevent clogged pores and acne breakouts.
What is the difference between Aveeno cream and lotion?
Each cream and lotion has its own unique composition and benefits. Lotions have a higher water percentage and, to put it simply, are droplets of oil mixed in water. Lotions tend to be light-weight, non-greasy, and are more easily absorbed into the skin. They are excellent for normal to slightly dry skin.

Can I use body cream on face?
Body Lotion.
It would be nice to just slather on one lotion and be done with it, but body lotions should NEVER be applied to your face because they're usually a lot thicker and typically contain fragrances that might irritate your facial skin. On your face, you should always use something more gentle and delicate.
Why is it called cold cream?
The emulsion is of a "water in oil" type unlike the "oil in water" type emulsion of vanishing cream, so-called because it seems to disappear when applied on skin. The name "cold cream" derives from the cooling feeling that the cream leaves on the skin. It can also be used to remove makeup and as shaving cream.
Which is more effective cream or lotion?
Because body lotion is more readily absorbed by the skin – due to its lower viscosity than cream – it's excellent for normal to slightly dry skin. It leaves a less greasy residue than cream and is ideal for use during the day and in hot summer months.
Which is better body lotion or body cream?
Body cream is heavier and contains a higher viscosity, or sticky mixture of water and oil. According to, creams penetrate the skin and provide a barrier that prevents more moisture loss from the skin than lotion. Because body cream is thicker, it is usually sold in a tub or jar container.

How do I choose lotion?
Creams are thinner, help hydrate, and are good for normal skin. Lotions are the lightest (water is their main ingredient) and are a good match for oily skin. Base the thickness of your moisturizer on when and where you use it on your body.
Should you use body lotion everyday?
If that's you, you probably don't need to moisturize every day. However, it's good to moisturize certain areas of your skin every day. You should also be moisturizing your face more often than the rest of your body (I usually stick to two times a day).

IPRotate is a tool used for Burp Suite which uses AWS API Gateway to change your IP on every request. This extension allows you to easily spin up API Gateways across multiple regions.
All the Burp Suite traffic for the targeted host is then routed through the API Gateway endpoints which causes the IP to be different on each request. (There is a chance for recycling of IPs but this is pretty low and the more regions you use the less of a chance.)
This is useful to bypass different kinds of IP blocking like bruteforce protection that blocks based on IP, API rate limiting based on IP or WAF blocking based on IP etc.
- Setup Jython in Burp Suite
- Install the boto3 module for Python 2
pip install boto3
- Ensure you have a set of AWS keys that have full access to the API Gateway service. This is available through the free tier of AWS.
- Insert the credentials into the fields.
- Insert the target domain you wish to target.
- Select HTTPS if the domain is hosted over HTTPS.
- Select all the regions you want to use.(The more you use the larger the IP pool will be)
- Click "Enable".
- Once you are done ensure you click disable to delete all the resources which were started.
If you want to check on the resources and enpoints that were started or any potential errors you can look at the output console in Burp.

Edward Wilson sledge flag on display in Cathedral
Edward Wilson's Polar Sledge Flag will be on display in the Cathedral during a special Evensong service on Thursday 5 July.
One hundred years ago, on 17 January 1912, Captain Robert Scott and four other members of his 1910-12 Antarctic Expedition reached the South Pole. Ten weeks later, all five men had perished.
Dr Edward Adrian Wilson (_PHONE_), a Cheltenham-born doctor, scientist, naturalist and artist whose watercolours and drawings of Antarctica are arguably the finest ever produced of the southern Continent, was one of the men that perished. Wilson had also produced many fine watercolours and drawings of his native Gloucestershire, including some of Gloucester Cathedral, a building which his widow, Oriana, later told the Dean of Gloucester was "more loved by him than any other church in the world. I think he knew every inch of it".
On Thursday 5 July Isobel Williams, author of "With Scott in the Antarctic" a first full account of the Antarctic hero's life from childhood to his tragic death will present a special illustrated lecture for the Friends of Gloucester Cathedral followed by a Special Evensong at 5.30pm sung by the Cathedral Youth Choir and directed by Ashley Grote. The local Arctic hero's Polar sledge flag will be on display throughout the service, borrowed for the occasion from the Scott Polar Research Institute. The flag was presented to the Cathedral in 1914 where it hung in the Lady Chapel until 1930. Tickets for the lecture have sold out but all are welcome to attend the Evensong service.

Vermont Starlink FAQs
 1. What is Starlink?
Starlink is a very high-speed low latency space-based broadband access service designed for use in rural areas worldwide which lack adequate terrestrial broadband infrastructure. The company Starlink, which offers the service, is a subsidiary of SpaceX, the private for-profit space launch company founded by Elon Musk.
 1. What speeds does Starlink offer?
During the Beta test Starlink has consistently delivered speeds between 75-100 megabits per second (Mbps) for download and streaming, 20-25 Mbps for upload, and latency of around 40 milliseconds (ms). All these well exceed the State of Vermont's minimum standards. Starlink says these speeds will improve as they add satellites and upgrade technology, but best to judge by what is demonstrated today.
 1. Do streaming to multiple devices simultaneously, teleconferencing, and VoIP work over Starlink?
 1. How can a satellite service have low latency? Older satellite services like HughesNet are unusable for Zooming, phone calls, or even much web browsing.
The old satellite services used geostationary satellites, which must be 22,000 miles from earth. Even at the speed of light, it takes a relatively long time for a signal to get there and back, hence the latency. Starlink uses low earth orbit satellites (LEOS), which are only a couple of hundred miles high. The travel time for the signal is not significant.
 1. What does Starlink cost?
$499 for the initial kit including a WiFi router and everything you need for a ground installation (close to $600 when you add Vermont tax and shipping). $99/month with no minimum commitment or contract. 30-day money back guarantee on everything. There are currently no data caps. There are no higher or lower speed plans currently available.
 1. Where in Vermont is Starlink available?
It is available everywhere in Vermont although there is currently a waiting period which varies by location. It is designed for use at "the end of the road" since all the required infrastructure is in the sky. Starlink cannot be used where it is not possible to get an unobstructed view of the high sky from west to north to east. The mountains around you probably won't matter unless you're in a very narrow valley; the trees in your yard can be a problem.
 1. How does Starlink get installed?
It is self-installing. Out of the box, Starlink can be set on the ground where there is a clear view of the high sky. In Vermont it doesn't need to see the southern sky. The dish has a motor and positions itself correctly for its location (see video). You do have to find a way to put a single wire through your wall which then carries both signal and power to the dish. At extra cost, you can buy kits for no-holes roof mounting or pole mounting. You use a smartphone app to set up your WiFi network.
 1. Is paid installation available from Starlink?
 1. What happens if the dish is covered by snow or ice?
Doesn't happen, even in Vermont. The dish is heated.
 1. How reliable is Starlink?
Beta users generally reported good reliability. There were times when the service was deliberately taken down for adjustment. That shouldn't happen once the beta test is over. It is sensitive to obstructions like tree limbs which typically cause 5-15 second outages (you freeze on Zoom). Choosing a good location for the dish is critical.
 1. Does Starlink degrade in bad weather?
Not noticeably. Unlike satellite TV or service from wireless ISPs, where the radio signals travel almost horizontally, the Starlink signal is going almost straight up so is through the weather in just a few miles. TBD how much it would be affected by a thunderstorm directly overhead.
Starlink is far more reliable than any terrestrial service in a weather emergency so long as you have backup power at your location. The satellites are far above the weather which may topple telephone poles or bring down the lines. They are solar powered so remain in operation indefinitely, unlike the towers of cellular operators and wireless ISPs (WISPs) which can run out of fuel for their generators in a prolonged emergency.
 1. Is Starlink service likely to degrade or have data caps added as more users are added to the system?
Probably not. So far Starlink is limiting the number of new signups to the number of people in each area they can serve without degrading service. They have over 1000 satellites in orbit today – each satellite circles the earth every ninety minutes. 700 of these satellites are operational and the remainder are being positioned for service. Starlink launches 60 new satellites approximately every two weeks on SpaceX reusable rockets.
 1. When is Starlink the best choice for broadband in Vermont?
Dr. Fauci says the best vaccine is the one you can get now. The same is true of broadband service.
If fiber runs by your house and you can have it installed NOW at a reasonable price, it is probably the best option for you.
If you can get enough bandwidth for your needs NOW from a wireless ISP at less cost than Starlink, you may want to do that even though you won't get the same speed you'll get with Starlink.
If you don't currently have cable or excellent wireless ISP service and neither a fiber build or wireless ISP tower is firmly scheduled for this summer for your location and you can afford it and you can see enough of the sky, you ought to order Starlink. It is certainly better quality than DSL from Consolidated if you have that option.
The Starlink service is about on a par today with what you might get from a cable company unless they are suppling fiber. It is about the same cost as fiber plans offering similar speeds – although this may be more speed than you need.
14.Is Starlink an opportunity for Vermont?
Starlink is an opportunity which many Vermonters are already taking advantage of on their own either because they have no other broadband service available or because they're not satisfied with their existing choices. Starlink is being used in locations which are shown on the most current maps from the Department of Public Service as having no service available which meets the State's minimum standards. Many more Vermonters are on the waiting list for Starlink
Without Starlink, there is no way to get broadband access NOW in places where it is most needed. With Starlink, the problem of accessibility becomes a problem of affordability
 1. Is a subsidy from the State needed to bring Starlink infrastructure to unserved parts of Vermont?
No. The common infrastructure for Starlink is the satellites SpaceX is launching and the Starlink-built ground stations around the world. Your dish and associated electronics don't depend on any terrestrial infrastructure in the State.
From a public policy point of view, it may well be desirable for the State to subsidize the one-time costs of hookup to services which are available now including Starlink where no other high-quality services are available.
 1. The legislature has authorized towns to form and join Communications Union Districts (CUDs) in order to bring broadband access to the places which don't have it. Will Starlink make it impossible for the CUDs to perform their mission?
No. The mission of the CUDs is to bring broadband to unserved Vermonters. Prior to the advent of services like Starlink, it was assumed that this meant bringing fiber to every home. CUDs other than ECFiber, which is already in operation, are not promising to get fiber to end-of-the-road locations which most need broadband for at least four years and even then at a very high infrastructure cost – often estimated at more than $3000 per house and escalating the less dense the neighborhood is.
The CUD mission of highspeed broadband everywhere in Vermont is made easier – and achievable sooner – with the option of using Starlink. CUDs can expand fiber out from the hubs without asking those at the end of the road to wait four years or more.
The CUD mission should not be limited to fiber as a solution. Starlink is a useful option for accomplishing the connectivity mission NOW. Those now ordering Starlink now are not waiting for fiber to reach them. If fiber does come to their neighborhoods at a reasonable cost and/or offers better service than Starlink, they can and will switch to the fiber provider. If fiber is not able to offer them better price performance, there is no point in building out the infrastructure.
 1. How do we know Starlink works in Vermont?
News stories on WCAX, in Seven Days, and on VPR cite successful installations. Reports on Stowe Front Porch Forum indicate generally good results. There is a very large Starlink community on Reddit where successes and failures are discussed. Many of these users are in climates more extreme than Vermont.
NEK Broadband, a communications union district in the Northeast Kingdom, is taking a survey of user experience with Starlink in Vermont. The results will be made public. If you have installed Starlink, it would be helpful if you could take a couple of minutes to complete this survey about your experience with the service: _URL_ . In addition, if you have friends in Vermont who have also installed Starlink, please consider bringing this survey to their attention by forwarding the link.
 1. How do I order Starlink?

As far as I can tell within an Fourier Transform Spectrometer the spectral information is gained from changing the path length along one arm, this sounds very similar to a michelson interferometer but using two apertures instead of one.
So are there any underlying differences between the two?

You are right, fourier transform spectrometer is just a scanning Michelson interferometer. In spectroscopic applications these are just synonims. Spectral information is a fourier transform of intensity dependence on path length, thus the name. Usually a term wavemeter is used, meaning some interferometric device to measure wavelength, including FTS as well as Fabry–Pérot interferometers.

Experimental Study on Matching Characteristics of Wave and Flame in Detonation
A series of single-shot detonation experiments was performed to understand the matching characteristics of wave and flame in DDT for H2/air mixures in a 60mm square tube that was 2m in length. The ion-probes and pressure transducers were respectively utilized to get the signal of flame and wave, and high-speed digital imaging was used to track flame propagation of DDT area. The matching rule of shock-flame was achieved by analyzing the intensity、velocity and position characteristics of wave and flame in different time along the tube. The results indicate that intensity of wave and flame is positive feedback characteristic and the velocity of wave and flame is alternant change process. The speed amplitude of flame is rapid than that of wave in deflagration phase. This result in the overdrivern detonation wave form and flame is temporarily in front of flame when flame catch up wave. Shock is in front of flame in phase which the overdrivern detonation evolve into steady detonation wave.

The current-in-plane tunneling technique (CIPT) has been a crucial tool in the development of magnetic tunnel junction stacks suitable for magnetic random access memories (MRAM) for more than a decade. The MRAM development has now reached the maturity to make the transition from the R&D phase to the pilot production phase. This will require an improvement in the repeatability of the CIPT metrology technique. Here, we present an analytical model that can be used to simulate numerically the repeatability of a CIPT measurement for an arbitrary MTJ stack prior to any CIPT measurement. The model describes mathematically the main sources of error arising when a micro multi-electrode probe is used to perform a CIPT measurement. The numerically simulated repeatability values obtained on four different MTJ stacks are verified by experimental data and the model is used to optimize the choice of electrodes on a multi-electrode probe to reach up to 36% improvement on the repeatability for the resistance area product and the tunneling magnetoresistance measurement, without any hardware modification.

The Right Terminations for Reliable Liquid Cooling in HPC
This guest article from CPC explores why liquid cooling for HPCs is increasingly common, and offers an understanding of the components in liquid cooling systems that are critical for success.
liquid cooling
With expensive electronics at stake, understanding the components in liquid cooling systems is critical. (Photo: Shutterstock/Pavel Chukhov)
High performance computing manufacturers are increasingly deploying liquid cooling. To avoid damage to electronic equipment due to leaks, secure drip-free connections are essential.
Quick disconnects (QDs) for HPC applications simplify connector selection and have terminations that fall into two categories: barbs for tubing or threaded joints.
Hose Barb Connections
Quick-disconnect couplers with barbed terminations work well for applications with flexible tubing. Barbed terminations grip the inside of tubing by expanding over the hose barb termination and then relaxing to its original diameter, creating a leak-free connection.
It's important to find the barb connection that best suits the tubing and application.
 1. Triple barb. Fluid coupling terminations with multiple, shallow barbs are commonly used with lighter weight tubing. The triple barb design offers good retention with redundant sealing points.
 2. Locking barb. The locking barb is a good choice in environments where heavy tubing may be exposed to hose or assembly pull (being bumped or stepped on). Locking barbs fit securely without the need for hose clamps or ferrules and work well on heavy-duty tubing like EPDM.
 3. Compression. Common compression style terminations include a ring or ferrule to mate with rigid tubing and a nut to thread capture the ferrule against the termination seat.
Threaded Port Connections
Fluid couplings incorporating a threaded termination provide a reliable connection primarily at machined ports throughout the cooling loop.
High performance computing manufacturers are increasingly deploying liquid cooling.
Straight thread terminations for liquid cooling applications will most often incorporate an elastomeric seal to achieve a leak-free connection.
Tapered pipe thread terminations, on the other hand, do not include an additional elastomeric component. The threads themselves both retain the part and create a seal. However for reliable sealing performance, thread tape or additional sealant is recommended to fill gaps between threads and aid assembly.
Common threaded terminations include:
 1. SAE Straight Thread O-Ring (ORB). This parallel thread termination features elastomeric sealing and is commonly used in North America. The mating female port requires specific machining to create a chamfered seat at the top that accepts an O-ring.
 2. NPT (National Pipe Thread). This common tapered thread is relatively easy to install—just drill and tap a mating port. However, a thread sealant (tape or compound) is required to fill in surface imperfections to create a leak-free seal.
 3. G/BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel). Most commonly used in Europe and Asia, this straight-thread, metric termination has a 55° flank and Whitworth thread form. While metal-to-metal sealing is covered in the standard specification, the most common sealing method will include an elastomeric seal.
 4. R/BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper). This termination provides a simple, leak-free connection. Consistent with other tapered thread installations, tape or additional liquid sealant is recommended to ensure reliability.
QDS Specifically for Liquid Cooling
All terminations mentioned above are available in quick disconnect (QD) couplings, which allow fast, secure, repeated connections and disconnections during service and use. Integrated non-spill shutoff valves automatically stop flow, reducing spills or pressure loss during disconnection.

Petroleum stocks at Northeast power plants have not changed much in recent years
In much of the United States, power plants that burn petroleum liquids are generally operated for short periods during times of peak electricity demand, such as during brief periods of cold winter weather. These plants maintain petroleum inventories so that they are ready to dispatch electricity when it's needed. Petroleum plays an important role in the Northeast (defined here as New York and New England) when electricity demand is high, particularly in the winter. According to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), power plants in the Northeast held petroleum inventories of approximately 6.7 million barrels as of the end of September 2020, close to the average of 7 million barrels during the previous five Septembers.

Vision -Three Stages in Environmental Conservation ActivitiesThe Ricoh Group's environmental conservation efforts have evolved through three stages that we define as the "passive stage," "proactive stage" and "responsible stage." In the passive stage, our efforts generally aimed at addressing external requirements by dealing with laws and regulations and competing with other companies. In the next proactive stage, we began to take voluntary actions with a sense of mission as a global citizen. In the current responsible stage, we have enhanced out efforts to an advanced level, namely, from the stage of simply operating its business in an environmentally friendly manner to pursuing both environmental conservation and profit generation simultaneously. Based on this concept of sustainable environmental management, we are continuing environmental conservation efforts in an integrated part of out business activities. Specific initiatives implemented range a broad areas from developing energy-saving products, curtailing costs by promoting resource/energy conservation, to developing materials that can replace natural resources at a high risk of depletion, and offering efficient and environmental work style-related solutions by providing products and services designed to achieve increased operational efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
In order to effectively protect the global environment and build sustainable societies, it is imperative to reduce impact of human activities on the environment to a level that the Earth's self-recovery capabilities can manage. With this recognition, the Group organizes and participates in a variety of forest ecosystem conservation projects, in addition to efforts to reduce environmental impact stemming from its operations, aiming to improve the self-recovery capabilities of the global environment.
Three Stages in Environmental Conservation Activities (from the passive, to proactive to responsible stage)
Passive Stage Proactive Stage Responsible Stage
Purpose Coping with External requirements
-Laws and regulations
Carrying out its mission as a global citizen
-Self-imposed responsibility
-Voluntary planning
-Voluntary activities
Simultaneously achieving environmental conservation and profits
Activities Passive measures to meet laws and regulations, competing with other companies, and satisfying customer needs 1. High-aiming, aggressive activities to reduce environmental impact
-Energy conservation
-Resource conservation and recycling
-Pollution prevention
2. Improved awareness of all employees

Definition of Tumor registry
Tumor registry: Recorded information about the status of patients with tumors. Although a registry was originally the place where information was collected (in registers), the word registry has also come to mean the collection itself. A tumor registry is organized so that the data can be analyzed. For example, analysis of data in a tumor registry maintained at a hospital may show a rise in lung cancer among women.

Myths and risks of the EU-Myanmar Investment Protection Agreement
TNI | 21 September 2017
Myths and risks of the EU-Myanmar Investment Protection Agreement
by Cecilia Olivet, Pietje Vervest
Executive Summary
Myanmar is in the early days of democratization, with many laws and policies from the country's military era in need of reform. Myanmar faces formidable challenges to build regulatory frameworks – not least in relation to the ownership and revenue sharing of natural resources in various ethnic areas, to the protection of human and labour rights and the environment.
The peace process to end the 68-year old civil war is slow, with military offensives by the national army against ethnic armed groups ongoing in Kachin and Shan States, resulting in abuses against civilians and massive displacement. Achieving a lasting peace will involve moving towards a more federal system for which many new policies and laws will have to be introduced.
This paper argues that the benefits of the IPA are highly overstated, and the risks seriously underestimated:
 1. It will bring high levels of European investment and help the country develop
 2. It will protect workers' rights and the environment
 3. EU investors will help improve Myanmar's human rights situation
 4. EU-Myanmar IPA negotiations are far more transparent than other treaties negotiated by Myanmar
 5. EU-Myanmar IPA will be just one of many treaties signed by Myanmar
 1. It will prevent democratic regulatory reform
 2. It will impact on a scarce public budget
 3. It will block the peace process
 4. It takes away the incentive to strengthen the national judicial system 5: It could be approved without any public scrutiny
The IPA could have major negative impacts on democratic development, human rights and sustainable peace in Myanmar, depriving it of the necessary policy space to harness investment to serve sustainable development and peace. It also has the potential to bankrupt the country through potential lawsuits led by foreign companies unwilling to see stronger regulations that may impact their profits.
Furthermore, there are serious human rights violations against Muslim communities in Rakhine State as well as peoples in other parts of the country. The EU has made the upholding of human rights an integral part of its external trade relations – so if negotiations continue with Myanmar under the current circumstances, this commitment is in question.
The IPA negotiations may be drawing to a close, but there is still time for a much-needed, wide-ranging public debate among parliamentarians and civil society to close the democratic gap opened up by the IPA negotiations. Parliamentarians in Europe and Myanmar have a key role to play in this debate. This briefing includes a series of recommendations that aim to strengthen the Parliamentarians' role.

Olivier Garcia "Formula One"
The exhibition presents a selection of designer furniture by Olivier Garcia. The artist offers a very personal interpretation of materials and colors of the pinnacle of the automotive world: Formula 1. The "Formula One" concept originated from a simple idea: using the materials and fabrics of the automobile industry as an inspiration for interior design. Why? As the artist explains: "I've always been fascinated by the world of F1, with its state-of-the-art technology and its bright colors. So recently I decided to start incorporating these colors into my furniture".


Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) workers in the UK have been hit harder by job losses during the coronavirus crisis than the population as a whole, according to new research.
The percentage of BAME people in employment fell to 67.4% in April from 72.0% in February, a drop of almost 5%, researchers from the University of Essex and other academic centres said.
Comparatively, non-BAME workers experienced a drop in employment of less than 2%, from 81.1% to 79.4%, according to the research based on data from the long-running Understanding Society survey led by the University of Essex.
The research also showed that fewer BAME people who had lost working hours due to the coronavirus crisis had been furloughed on the government's job retention scheme than non-BAME people in the same situation.
BAME people were also more likely to be behind on payments on their bills after seeing their incomes decrease due to the coronavirus, and they were also more likely to have borrowed money as a way to balance a loss in earnings.
Paul Fisher, one of the academics who worked on the report, said: "The BAME group is very heterogeneous and many questions remain unanswered.
"Which communities are being hardest hit? Can the different types of jobs done by different workers explain the pattern? These are questions which urgently need answering and further research is needed."
Meanwhile, in the US, data published last week showed unemployment among African Americans and Asians increased despite the overall unemployment rate falling unexpectedly in May.
The report comes as the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis has sparked protests around the world, bringing renewed focus to the wider economic inequalities facing BAME people across the globe.

ASP.NET Core has adopted a new routing scheme called Endpoint since version 2.2, which is not much different from the original scheme, but the internal operation is quite different. The previous article introduced the operation mechanism of the original routing scheme in detail. This article still uses a picture to understand the new version of the operating mechanism, and finally summarizes the similarities and differences between the two.
1 Overview
This scheme starts from version 2.2 and is called endpoint routing ( hereafter referred to as "new version" ). It is enabled by default. If you want to use the original scheme ( <=2.1, the original version is called below ), you can use AddMvc. Make settings
services.AddMvc(option=>option.EnableEndpointRouting = false).SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_2);
EnableEndpointRouting defaults to true, which means that the new Endpoint scheme is enabled. If set to false, the legacy (<=2.1) routing scheme is used.
In terms of configuration method, the system is still configured in use.Mvc() in Startup. In fact, the internal processing middleware has been changed from the original RouterMiddleware to EndpointMiddleware and EndpointRoutingMiddleware. The following still passes a picture. Take a detailed look at the picture.
2 the process and analysis
1. Initial configuration of the route (the first two lanes of the figure)
1 Everything is still starting from Startup, and like the old version, it is configured by UseMvc method, and one or more configurations such as routes.MapRoute(…) are not mentioned.Let's focus on the following process, take a look at the UseMvc method in MvcApplicationBuilderExtensions:
public static IApplicationBuilder UseMvc(
 this IApplicationBuilder app,
 Action configureRoutes)
 var options = app.ApplicationServices.GetRequiredService>();
 if (options.Value.EnableEndpointRouting)
 var mvcEndpointDataSource = app.ApplicationServices
 var parameterPolicyFactory = app.ApplicationServices
 var endpointRouteBuilder = new EndpointRouteBuilder(app);
 foreach (var router in endpointRouteBuilder.Routes)
 // Only accept Microsoft.AspNetCore.Routing.Route when converting to endpoint
 // Sub-types could have additional customization that we can't knowingly convert
 if (router is Route route && router.GetType() == typeof(Route))
 var endpointInfo = new MvcEndpointInfo(
 route.Constraints.ToDictionary(kvp => kvp.Key, kvp => (object)kvp.Value),
 throw new InvalidOperationException($"Cannot use '{router.GetType().FullName}' with Endpoint Routing.");
 if (!app.Properties.TryGetValue(EndpointRoutingRegisteredKey, out _))
 // Matching middleware has not been registered yet
 // For back-compat register middleware so an endpoint is matched and then immediately used
 return app.UseEndpoint();
2 Line 6, where the value of EnableEndpointRouting is set and judged. If it is false, the old version is used. See the previous article for details. The value is true by default, that is, the new version is used.
3 Corresponding to the 9th line, MvcEndpointDataSource is a very important role in the new version of the route. In the startup initialization phase, it completes the routing table storage and conversion. Here, first mark it with color, let's remember it, in the following process. Detailed in the introduction.
4 corresponds to the 16th line, like the old version of RouteBuilder, here will be a new endpointRouteBuilder, both of which are an IRouteBuilder, so also call the configureRoutes (endpointRouteBuilder) method (that is, the configuration in the startup) to get a collection of Route (IList ) is assigned to endpointRouteBuilder.Routes. Here is a special place to note if (router is Route route && router.GetType() == typeof(Route)), that is, only route type is accepted here, and the endpoint routing system IRouter-based extensibility is not supported, including inheritance from Route.
5 Corresponding to the 20th line, the endpointRouteBuilder.Routes just obtained is traversed, converted into a set of MvcEndpointInfo, and assigned to mvcEndpointDataSource.ConventionalEndpointInfos.
6 After that, the middleware is plugged into the pipeline. The processing middleware here is changed from the original RouterMiddleware to EndpointMiddleware and EndpointRoutingMiddleware.
 2. Processing of the request (the last two lanes of the figure)
Most of the functions of the request are in the middleware EndpointRoutingMiddleware. He has an important attribute _endpointDataSource to save the MvcEndpointDataSource generated in the initialization phase above, and the middleware EndpointMiddleware function is relatively simple, mainly after EndpointRoutingMiddleware filters out the endpoint and calls the endpoint. The endpoint.RequestDelegate(httpContext) handles the request.
7 The InitializeAsync() method is mainly used to call InitializeCoreAsync() to create a matcher. The code of this method shows that it is only executed once when the first request is made.
private Task InitializeAsync()
var initializationTask = _initializationTask;
if (initializationTask!= null)
return initializationTask;
return InitializeCoreAsync();
8 MvcEndpointDataSource An important method, UpdateEndpoints(), is to read all actions and match this action list with its ConventionalEndpointInfos list (see 5) to generate a new list. As shown below, we only configure a route such as "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}" by default. The default HomeController has three actions, adds a controller named FlyLoloController and adds it. An action with attribute routing finally generates 7 Endpoints, which is a bit like the "product" of routing and action. Of course, here is just a simple example with the default program. There may be more routing templates registered in the actual project, there will be more Controller and Action, and attribute routing.
The specific code is as follows:
private void UpdateEndpoints()
 lock (_lock)
 var endpoints = new List();
 StringBuilder patternStringBuilder = null;
 foreach (var action in _actions.ActionDescriptors.Items)
 if (action.AttributeRouteInfo == null)
 // In traditional conventional routing setup, the routes defined by a user have a static order
 // defined by how they are added into the list. We would like to maintain the same order when building
 // up the endpoints too.
 // Start with an order of '1' for conventional routes as attribute routes have a default order of '0'.
 // This is for scenarios dealing with migrating existing Router based code to Endpoint Routing world.
 var conventionalRouteOrder = 1;
 // Check each of the conventional patterns to see if the action would be reachable
 // If the action and pattern are compatible then create an endpoint with the
 // area/controller/action parameter parts replaced with literals
 // e.g. {controller}/{action} with HomeController.Index and HomeController.Login
 // would result in endpoints:
 // - Home/Index
 // - Home/Login
 foreach (var endpointInfo in ConventionalEndpointInfos)
 // An 'endpointInfo' is applicable if:
 // 1. it has a parameter (or default value) for'required' non-null route value
 // 2. it does not have a parameter (or default value) for'required' null route value
 var isApplicable = true;
 foreach (var routeKey in action.RouteValues.Keys)
 if (!MatchRouteValue(action, endpointInfo, routeKey))
 isApplicable = false;
 if (!isApplicable)
 conventionalRouteOrder = CreateEndpoints(
 ref patternStringBuilder,
 suppressLinkGeneration: false,
 suppressPathMatching: false);
 var attributeRoutePattern = RoutePatternFactory.Parse(action.AttributeRouteInfo.Template);
 ref patternStringBuilder,
 nonInlineDefaults: null,
 dataTokens: null,
 allParameterPolicies: null,
 // See comments in DefaultActionDescriptorCollectionProvider. These steps are done
 // in a specific order to ensure callers always see a consistent state.
 // Step 1 - capture old token
 var oldCancellationTokenSource = _cancellationTokenSource;
 // Step 2 - update endpoints
 _endpoints = endpoints;
 // Step 3 - create new change token
 _cancellationTokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource();
 _changeToken = new CancellationChangeToken(_cancellationTokenSource.Token);
 // Step 4 - trigger old token
The essence is to calculate a request endpoint that may be requested, that is, an Endpoint. Thus, as in the previous article, I want to customize a handler to handle special templates (such as routes.MapRoute("flylolo/{code}/{name}", MyRouteHandler.Handler);) will be ignored, because It can't generate Endpoint, and this way can be customized by customizing a middleware, no need to mix in the route.
9 is to use the Matcher generated above, carry the Endpoint list to match the request URL, and assign the matching Endpoint to the feature.Endpoint.
10 Get the feature.Endpoint, if it exists, call its RequestDelegate to process the request httpContext.
3 the new version and the old version of the similarities and differences summary
Briefly talk about the difference between the two versions from the two stages of application startup and request processing:
1. Start-up phase:
Most of the stages are similar. They are configured with a routing table by Startup's app.UseMvc() method, a Route collection of Routes(IList), and then simply convert it.
<=2.1: Converting Routes to RouteCollection
2.2+ : Convert Routes to List

Raita is a condiment in South Asian cuisine made of dahi (yogurt, often referred to as curd) together with raw or cooked vegetables, more seldom fruit, or in the case of boondi raita, with fried droplets of batter made from besan (chickpea flour, generally labeled as gram flour).
The word raita first appeared in print around the 19th century; it comes from the Hindi language.[1] The word raita in Bengali language and Hindustani is a portmanteau of the Sanskrit word rajika or the derivative Hindustani rai (pronounced "ra-ee") meaning black mustard seed, and tiktaka, meaning sharp or pungent.[2] In South India, especially Kerala and Tamil Nadu, traditional raita is called pachadi.

Acetone is a strong solvent commonly used for various purposes, including in nail polish removers and industrial applications. While acetone can interact with polymer clay, it doesn't necessarily "melt" it like other materials. Instead, it has some unique effects on the clay.
Effects of Acetone on Polymer Clay
When acetone comes into contact with polymer clay:
- Acetone can soften and slightly dissolve the surface of polymer clay, giving it a smooth and shiny appearance.
- Acetone can be used to clean polymer clay surfaces before baking to remove dust, lint, and fingerprints.
- Excessive use of acetone can cause the clay to become too soft, making it difficult to work with or lose its shape.
- Acetone may cause some pigments or colors to bleed or fade, affecting the overall appearance of the clay.
Safe Usage of Acetone
If you choose to use acetone with polymer clay, consider the following:
- Use acetone sparingly and in well-ventilated areas to avoid overexposure to fumes.
- Test a small, inconspicuous area of the clay before applying acetone to your entire project.
- Be cautious when using acetone on painted or colored polymer clay, as it may affect the surface finish.
- After using acetone, allow the clay to air out and dry before continuing with your project.
Alternative Cleaning Methods
If you're concerned about using acetone, there are alternative methods for cleaning polymer clay, such as using a soft brush, gentle soap and water, or baby wipes.
While acetone can have specific effects on polymer clay, it's important to use it cautiously and test its effects before applying it to your entire project. With proper handling and care, you can achieve desired results without compromising the integrity of your polymer clay creations.

1 Answer 1
When painting a shape with an outline, you have to factor in the width of the pen. So in your case, change to this:
// Adjusted by 2 pixels because half your pen width is 1.5, but QRect is
// for integer types, so rounded up.
painter.drawEllipse(event->rect().adjusted( -2, -2, 2, 2 ) );

HORA, Roy. Los Anchorena: patrones de inversión, fortuna y negocios (_PHONE_). Am. Lat. Hist. Econ [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.1, pp. 37-66. ISSN _PHONE_.
This article analyses the history of the Argentina's wealthiest family, the Anchorenas, in the period 1760s- 1940s. What makes these capitalists so peculiar is not only the sheer size of their wealth but also their capacity to adapt to profound changes in the economic and institutional environment. Analysis of the Anchorenas' patterns of investment is placed within a larger debate on the peculiarities of the Argentine economic elite. This article makes use of little-explored sources such as probate records, together with private correspondence. Links between changes in patterns of investment and changes in the economic and institutional environment are explored.

Goleta Slough flooding poses problems
Mosquitoes, birds and endangered trout raise issues
POSTED: 03:57 PM PDT May 16, 2013 UPDATED: 09:08 PM PDT May 16, 2013
GOLETA, Calif. -
The Goleta Slough is an area where fresh water and ocean water meet, but a sand berm is blocking the natural flow.
The water is flooding the area between the Santa Barbara Airport and Goleta Beach.
A pipeline was put in to siphon the water off, but it isn't working fast enough.
Mosquito management experts say they caught 25,000 mosquitoes in traps during one night, usually they only catch 200.
And the mosquitoes are the kind that can carry the West Nile virus.
The area is also attracting large birds though could cause airplane bird strikes.
Airport planners wanted to bulldoze the sand and silt that has built up since March, but that could threaten endangered steelhead trout.
Airport planners instend to ask the California Coastal Commission and the Army Corps of Engineers for permission.
The flooding has also stalled work on a fish ladder in the San Jose Creek.
