Injectivity radius
This article defines a scalar function on a manifold, viz a function from the manifold to real numbers. The scalar function may be intrinsic or defined in terms of some other structure/functionsTemplate:Radius notion
The term injectivity radius is also used for injectivity radius of a manifold which is the infimum over the manifold of the injectivity radii at all points
The injectivity radius is a scalar function on a Riemannian manifold M is defined as follows: the injectivity radius at x \in M is the supremum of all values r such that the exponential map from the unit ball B_r(x) in T_xM, to the manifold M, is injective.
The fact that the injectivity radius at each point is strictly positive is one of the starting points of Riemannian geometry.

Can Financial worries impact the well-being of employees in the workplace?
This is exactly what CIPD's latest research on Financial well-being, in partnership with Close Brothers explores.
CIPD have been taking a strong lead on financial well-being, determining the business case for employers to take greater responsibility in supporting employees on their overall financial well-being as part of their wider wellness strategy. This subsequently has a positive impact on the workplace in particular productivity and performance.
b2b partnership supported CIPD in developing the partnership with Close Brothers. Close Brothers are strong advocates for financial well-being, championing well-being at work being fundamental to unlocking employee engagement, retention, recruitment and productivity. Given the strong alignment and focus between both organisations' objectives, b2b facilitated a partnership on the CIPD/Close Brothers Financial Well-being programme.
- Through this partnership CIPD and Close Brothers are looking to support employers role and influence within organisations by educating their employees, understanding that financial well-being presents different challenges to all employers across all pay scales.

How Many Americans Died in World War II?
World War II involved most of the worlds super powers at the time and was a state of total war, meaning that the nations put all of their resources into the war effort. Most historians agree that 406,000 Americans died during the war.

Guide to Dealing with Tree Roots
Tree roots make up the integral foundation of all trees. Without them, trees would not grow straight up or withstand strong winds and poor weather. Roots keep trees anchored, creating a vast underground network of support.
Roots are essential in many ways, but when they become overgrown, they can get in the way, cause a safety hazard, and make it hard to keep up with your landscaping.
If you have overgrown or exposed tree roots on your Calgary, Alberta, property, it's possible to remove them without harming the tree. However, it takes careful technique and timing to avoid damaging the tree or even killing it altogether.
Take control of your tree roots! In this article, we're sharing everything you need to know about the risks of overgrown roots, what causes them, and the various removal methods.
Risks of Overgrown Tree Roots
In Calgary, overgrown tree roots can do more harm than good. While large, exposed roots surrounding a tree aren't a danger in and of themselves, their proximity to other structures and high-traffic areas can make them a nuisance or even a danger.
Some of the most pressing risks of overgrown roots include:
- Roots growing under foundation – These will grow thicker and can eventually damage the foundation, compromising the integrity of the building.
- Roots causing sidewalk/driveway cracking – Roots close to high traffic areas can ruin stonework, make unsightly cracks, and pose a risk for walkers or even cars.
- Roots as a safety hazard – Roots that grow above the ground can be a significant tripping hazard. They're often hard to see because of their color, and leaves open cover them up, making them even more dangerous.
- Roots hindering lawncare and landscaping – Thick roots that grow above ground can make it impossible to mow the lawn or landscape the area surrounding a tree.
However, not all roots come with these same risks. There are two main types of roots.
Types of Roots
The two kinds of roots you'll find underground are feeder roots and structural roots. Structural roots stabilize the tree and anchor it to its spot on the ground. They are usually sturdier and thicker. Feeder roots transfer nutrients and moisture from the soil back to the tree.
You can have exposed feeder roots and structural roots, but the most common kind of root to see exposed in Calgary, AB, is the structural root. They are typically larger and thicker, and they can grow out wide to provide a stable base for the tree.
What Causes Exposed Roots?
Exposed roots, also known as surface rooting, can be caused by a few different things.
- Poor soil quality – If the soil is not moist and compact, it's easier for thick tree roots to break through to the surface, especially in sandy, clay-based, or loose soil.
- Lack of oxygen – A lack of oxygen in the soil can cause tree roots to move toward the surface to capture more oxygen needed to keep the tree alive.
- Weather – Lots of rain, wind, or runoff can erode the soil and area around the tree, causing roots to become exposed.
- Lack of space – If a tree is planted where it does not have enough room to grow completely, like next to sidewalks, buildings, or streets, the roots may deflect to the surface to continue growing.
- High traffic – An area that's walked or trampled on a lot, the soil can become naturally eroded or packed down, exposing the roots.
Determining the cause of your overgrown or exposed roots can help determine the best way to remove them.
Removing Tree Roots
There are a few ways to remove tree roots from your Calgary property. The most common is to physically remove the trees by digging or cutting them out—or a combination of the two. The other option is treating the roots with chemicals to kill them.
Digging and Cutting Out Tree Roots
If you want to handle the job yourself without involving any harsh chemicals, you're looking at a major job of digging and cutting out the roots. It's the fastest yet most labor-intensive option you have.
To start digging out the roots, you're going to need a sharp spade and a root saw.
Find the root you want to cut, and trace it back to the base where it is growing from. Know that the larger the base, the more likely you are to damage the tree if you cut it. If it's somewhat small or smaller than the others, there shouldn't be any real problem.
Then, find the spot to start digging and cutting. This should be about three to five times the length of the tree's diameter. Mark this spot with spray paint so that you don't lose it.
Start digging out the soil around the root with the spade to expose as much root as possible. Pull out anything loose.
Then, using a root saw, cut the intact roots, cutting as far from the root ball as possible.
Then, use your spade or another tool to lift the roots out. Continue cutting any smaller roots in the area until you can remove the root ball.
Removing Roots with Chemicals
If you're not one for all the manual labor, there's a less intensive way to remove the tree roots using chemicals. This method is only recommended if you are trying to do away with stubborn roots left behind after cutting down a tree or removing the stump.
The first chemical you can use is glyphosate herbicide. Mix this with water in a 50/50 solution and saturate the outer ring of the stump with the solution, avoiding plants or nearby grass. Two weeks after, the roots should be dying off.
You can also use rock salt if you have more patience. It takes a few months to work, and a few applications are necessary to do it right. First, drill into the stump in several places and create holes a few inches deep. Drill holes in any exposed roots as well.
Then, fill these holes with rock salt, add water to fill, and repeat a few times each month. Eventually, this will suck out all water from the roots, causing them to die.
There's always a risk when removing tree roots in Calgary. If the tree is still living and you want to keep it that way, you should proceed with caution and only opt for the manual method of removing roots to keep the rest of the tree intact and safe from harm.
However, if you want to stay away from manual labor and have time to spare, a chemical option may better suit you. Or reach out to our team for a free estimate for stump removal services.

We pride ourselves in being familiar with every detail of the process, including using the gear to rig, as well as manipulating and pulling the tree down safely.


text: Sinawi, sometimes spelled shinawi, is a traditional form of Korean music. It is performed improvisationally by a musical ensemble, and traditionally accompanies the rites of Korean shamanism. The style first emerged in the Chungcheong and Jeolla provinces, but is now widespread. The traditional sinawi ensemble followed the principle of sam-hyeon-yuk-gak (三絃六角), with two flutes, a haegeum, a daegeum, a janggu hourglass-drum, and a large buk drum. However, today other traditional Korean instruments such as the gayageum and geomungo are also often included.

Speech Rhythm of American English
How to make your speech more effective
Just like music, English speech has a beat. The combination of strong and weak beats creates the rhythm of English. English speakers expect to hear a certain rhythm when they listen to you. In Lesson 1, you will learn the two basics of creating a good rhythm. First, let's watch the video to see the overview of how to make your speech more effective.
Basic Rhythm 1: Syllable Stress in Words
A syllable is a part of a word that has a vowel sound. You create the basic rhythm by stressing and unstressing vowel sounds. Stressing the vowel sound means you say it louder, longer, and higher in pitch. Remember one syllable is stressed in words with two or more syllables. If you stress the wrong syllable, your listeners might not understand you. Look at the pictures below. Which syllable do you stress to say "two lips" and "tulips"?
Watch the video below and practice stressing one syllable in a word. Clap your hands along with the speaker.
Basic Rhythm II: Counting Syllables in a Word
Syllables are the number of beats in a word. Counting the number of syllables will help you became aware of the rhythm. Can you count the number of syllables in a word? Let's place your thumb under your chin. Count the number of times you move your jaw while you say a word. That will give you the number of syllables in that word.

We present here the construction and application of a compact benchtop time-resolved Kerr magnetometer to measure the magnetization precession in magnetic thin films and lithographically patterned elements. As opposed to very expensive femtosecond lasers this system is built upon a picosecond pulsed injection diode laser and electronic pulse and delay generators. The precession is triggered by the electronic pulses of controlled duration and shape, which is launched onto the sample by a microstrip line. We used polarized optical pulses synchronous to the electronic pulses to measure the magneto-optical Kerr rotation. The system is integrated in a conventional upright microscope configuration with separate illumination, imaging, and magneto-optical probe paths. The system offers high stability, relative ease of alignment, sample changing, and a long range of time delay. We demonstrate the measurements of time-resolved dynamics of a Permalloy microwire and microdot using this system, which showed dynamics at two different time scales.

About this variable: Tenure (4)
'Tenure' refers to whether the household owns or rents their private dwelling. The private dwelling may be situated on rented or leased land or be part of a condominium. A household is considered to own their dwelling if some member of the household owns the dwelling even if it is not fully paid for, for example if there is a mortgage or some other claim on it. A household is considered to rent their dwelling if no member of the household owns the dwelling. A household is considered to rent that dwelling even if the dwelling is provided without cash rent or at a reduced rent, or if the dwelling is part of a cooperative.
For historical and statutory reasons, shelter occupancy on Indian reserves or settlements does not lend itself to the usual classification by standard tenure categories. Therefore, a special category, band housing, has been created for census purposes.

I am graduating in two days and still haven't received a grade in one of my classes. The chances that I do not pass the class are low but it isn't out of the question. I am also on the edge of latin honors and my grade in this class will determine where I land.
The official due date for the grades is early next week but I would really like to know if I am actually graduating before I walk. Could I e-mail the professor asking him what my grade in the class will be?
If it matters the last assignment was due a week ago.
 - What are Latin honours? – astronat Apr 27 '18 at 6:51
 - _USER_ Magna and Summa Cum Laude – case Apr 27 '18 at 7:32
If you're concerned about your grade, then you can try to send a polite email. However, you may also want to check if there's a policy whereby grades for graduating seniors need to be turned in early (which may or may not be the case, given the need to make sure students can graduate.
If not, the grades might not be ready, if the submission deadline has not yet passed. (But how can they schedule graduation before grades are due?)
Also, the answer may depend on how large the class is: the bigger the course you're worried about, the less likely the grades will be ready early.

Arcanos (WTO)
8,762pages on
this wiki
The arts of the dead, Arcanoi are secret spiritual abilities that can either be taught or acquired through experience. Generally, the higher the level of the Arcanos that you wish to learn, the more difficult it will be to learn, the more powerful it will be, and the higher it will cost to activate.
Markings Edit
Excessive use of one or more Arcanoi skills will undoubtedly result in the marking of his or her corpus with traces of those powers. Such markings and traces cannot be removed by any sort of cosmetic alteration. If a wraith frequently uses more than one Arcanos, than the markings of all used Arcanoi will be visible.
Usage Edit
In order to activate an Arcanos, a wraith must normally spend Pathos, the energy of emotion. To use an arcanos toward a particular end, one must roll dice to acquire the success rating of the Arcanos, and the attribute it is being used in concert with. For usage in the Skinlands, one must also contend with/roll against the rating of the Shroud, usually 9 except on rare occasions such as visits to graveyards, usage of seances or ouija boards, the stroke of midnight, Friday the 13th, Halloween, or other special holidays or traditions regarding the decesased.
Notes on names Edit
Users of Arcanoi are traditionally referred to by the name of the Guild that the Arcanos once belonged to, even though the Guilds themselves have long since disappeared from the respectable parts of wraith society. For example, a wraith with Argos is always called a Harbinger, even if they have never actually been a member of or even heard of the Harbinger Guild. Likewise, a user of Embody is always called a Proctor, a user of Flux is always called an Alchemist, and so on. Wraiths with multiple Arcanoi can be referred to by any of the names of Arcanoi they possess, though it usually defaults to their strongest ability.
The Primary Arcanoi Edit
Accepted Arcanoi Edit
Forbidden Arcanoi Edit
Alternate Arcanoi Edit
Dark ArcanoiEdit
The Dark Arcanoi are primarily used by Spectres, and occasionally by trained wraiths such as Doomslayers.
The following appear in WTO: Dark Reflections: Spectres Bullet-pdf Bullet-nip
The following appear in WTO: Doomslayers: Into the Labyrinth Bullet-pdf Bullet-nip
The Risen Arcanoi Edit
These abilities can only be used by Risen, or wraiths who have managed to return to their old bodies. They can be found in The Risen.
The Jade Arcanoi Edit
These are the Arcanoi of the wraiths of the Yellow Springs. They can be found in Dark Kingdom of Jade.
Miscellaneous Arcanoi Edit
Connection with Spheres Edit
Some have speculated as to the connection between the innate abilities of Wraiths to exhibit Arcanoi, and those similar abilities of Mages to manipulate reality through Spheres. Perhaps there is a connection. In a similar vein, some have connected the strength of the Shroud with the idea of Paradox, in that the general consensus of sleeper minds can prevent Spheres and Arcanoi from succeeding. Some have called this Mage-Wraith crossover mechanic "The Oppositional Aura."

Students with communication and behavioural difficulties from Patcham House special school scripted, performed and produced a film called It's A Dog's Life, incorporating a series of clay animation films and historical live action drama.
Who was involved
How can we use performing and media arts with Year 9 to impact on their behaviour as collaborators and communicators?
The project was led by the ideas and opinions of the young people. Students agreed that they wanted to focus on making a film about dogs – a common interest they shared.
Students, staff, parents and the creative practitioner discussed and explored ideas informally, usually in small groups and sometimes out walking, sometimes with dogs from the rescue centre and also with their own dogs.
Students developed creative skills in photography, film making, writing and making. They were encouraged to use these skills to reflect their feelings and views about animals, drawing attention to the work of the RSPCA and others in order to affect change.Back to top
The project culminated in an exhibition and film screening at the Jubilee Library in Brighton which was open to the general public as well as invited guests.
All participants in this project, including teachers, were overwhelmingly positive about their experience and the outcomes of this project; one student describing a day as "the best ever".


Kickstarting R - Descriptive statistics
Writing a descriptive stats function
Assume that we want a function that will give us the mean, variance and valid n for one or more numeric variables in a data frame. Here's a very simple example of such a function, dstats().
Note that two things have been done before any calculation. First the function checks whether the required argument x is missing, then it checks whether x is a data frame or matrix. This avoids any messy errors that would result by calling the function without any arguments or with objects that didn't make any sense to the function. If these checks fail, a simple usage message is printed to inform the user.
After all this preparation, what does the function do? First, it works out which columns of the input data are numeric. It then computes the vector of means as above. Then it makes almost exactly the same call, except using the function var() to get the variances. You won't find the third function in the R help listing.
validn<-function(datavec) {
All it does is add up the vector of TRUE and FALSE values (which happen to equal 1 and 0) produced by the function and reversed by the NOT (!) operator. That value is the number of valid (NOT NA) observations in the object passed to it, which will be each column of the incoming data to dstats(). So validn() had to be written before dstats() would run. This is a good time to consider when it is worth writing a separate function to do something. validn() has the advantage that it returns a useful value that might be used by many other functions. Also, it's slightly easier to use a function name in sapply() than writing in the function definition. It has the disadvantage that it is a one-liner and could simply be inserted into the code of the other functions rather than a call. Your own style of programming will probably dictate at what point you begin to write separate functions.
dstats() then calls rbind() to stick the three vectors together into a matrix row by row, and calls rownames() to assign the desired row labels to the matrix. Finally, dstats() assigns the class of "dstat", which will allow objects produced by it to be recognized as a specific sort of object. The object dstat is then returned, which means that it will be displayed, and optionally assigned to another object.
Assume that you would like to have more control over which variables are included in the output. You know that the mean is a suitable description for age and parity. dstats() as written allows you to pass a vector of either integers or names that will specify the variables to be used.
So, why do we go to all this trouble to define a special object and write a function to produce it? I find that an object that contains means, variances and ns allows me to easily display a summary and produce a basic plot, including error bars, etc. It also allows functions to recognize the object as the correct sort without extensive testing of the contents. Apparently other people have noticed the same thing, and there is at least one other "dstat" object out there. One of the really valuable things about being able to program your stats is that you can customize such objects to suit the sort of work that you do. Therefore, I encourage readers to devise and refine their own objects, a good way to learn the capabilities of R and more importantly, to get what you want.
What about median and mode?
Say that you wanted the median and mode in your dstat object. You could add a call to the median() function and include that in the object returned. mode is a bit more difficult. We can use the tabulate() function to calculate it - if the data are all positive numbers:
> x<-sample(1:10,30,TRUE)
xmode<-which(xt == max(xt))
if(sum(xt == max(xt))>1) xmode<-NA
xmode will be the value of the first category that has a frequency equal to the highest frequency in the table. If there is more than one category with the maximum frequency, xmode will be set to NA.

Question: Is Cash Safe In A Recession?
What happens to your money in the bank during a recession?
Where should I put money in a recession?
Investors typically flock to fixed-income investments (such as bonds) or dividend-yielding investments (such as dividend stocks) during recessions because they offer routine cash payments.
However, they are low risk, so it makes sense to take one out if you want to protect your money from a coming recession. Talk to your bank and ask if they provide money market accounts. You may want to take a chunk of money from your savings or checking and put it into a money market account.
Is cash king in a recession?
How do you keep money safe in a recession?
How do you get rich in a recession?
Who benefits from a recession?
Should you buy a house during a recession?
The experts agree that buying a house during a recession can result in scoring a great value on a home that may have been out of reach during better economic times. But if you want to buy during a recession, you need to have: Stable employment. Plenty of savings.

To locate self-assessment questionnaires that help score the competencies of a strategy consultant.
- Although McKinsey does not share a self-assessment questionnaire per se, it does share examples of problem-solving assessment tests and cases it uses for selection purposes.
- The first one, "Practice Test A," presents three scenarios based on actual cases. The goal is to assess one's ability to extract relevant data from the information provided, understanding of financial and business concepts, logical thinking, and others.
- Test B and Test C follow the same approach.
Bain & Company
- Bain follows a similar process. Consultant candidates are asked to solve a case study. The company provides three examples. For instance, the "Coffee Shop Co." case study asks candidates to analyze the financial aspects involved in opening a coffee shop in England based on the information provided.
- The "Performance Consulting Self-Assessment" test allows consultants to check which areas they need improvement. The test covers four competency areas: business knowledge, performance knowledge, partnering skills, and consulting skill.
- Our initial research shows that there is limited publicly available information regarding self-assessment questionnaires for strategy consultants that would cover all the required skills. Some consulting giants share examples of tests used to assess consultant candidates; however, they cover a limited range of skills.

Bots Best Practices
Symphony has a number of best practices to ensure smooth bot development and a positive user experience.
Getting Your Bots Attention
It is common that Symphony chatrooms contain more than one bot listening for events. In order to preserve name space and ensure that there isn't overlap between bot workflows, we recommend that bots only respond to events that begin with an _USER_:
By '_USER_' your bot, it ensures that only the intended bot responds.
It is best practice to have bots listen for commands beginning with a '/'. This naming convention makes it clear to other users that you are trying to get a bot's attention. Additionally, it makes it clear to your bot that a user is instructing it to perform an actions and kick off its intended workflow.
It is also best practice to enforce command line style arguments for commands that require additional input or data:
Help Menu
It important that users understand exactly what your bot is capable of and what commands your bot understands. It is best practice for your bot to list its commands inside a help menu:
It is considered best practice that bot's only create and read from one datafeed. If your bot goes down, it should re-authenticate, create a new datafeed, and begin reading from this one.
Creating and reading from multiple datafeeds concurrently can result in your bot processing duplicate messages and subsequently sending duplicate or out of order messages back to the user.
All datafeed management and best practices are provided out of the box by our dedicated SDKs and BDKs (Bot Developer Kit)
Message Rate
For large rooms, it is recommended that bots do not send messages at a higher rate than 2 messages/sec or every 500ms.
Bulk Adding Users
If bots are bulk adding users to rooms, it is recommended that bots add users at rate of 3 users / second.
Duplicate Messages
In some rare cases, bots may receive duplicate messages from Symphony. In order to prevent duplicate processing, developers can implement logic to keep track of previous messages. It is recommended that bots store a list of unique messageIDs up to 15 minutes in the past. Upon each new message, bots should do a quick validation that new message is not received in the past and continue to process the message.

If a rough surface is illuminated by a coherent lightwave of wavelength λ1, it is not possible to determine the surface profile from the phases of the speckle field formed by the scattered light. If the rough surface is illuminated, however, by an additional coherent wave of wavelength λ2, the phase differences between the two speckle fields do contain information about the macroscopic surface profile even if subject to a statistical error. It is shown that (1) the macroscopic surface profile may be determined from the phase differences if the effective wavelength Λ = λ1λ2/|λ1 - λ2| is sufficiently larger than the standard deviation of the microscopic profile of the illuminated surface, and (2) the statistical error is reasonably small if the phase measurements are obtained from speckles of sufficient intensity. Using a heterodyne interferometer we demonstrate the feasibility of this technique. In the first experiment we determine the radius of curvature of a rough spherical surface. In the second experiment the macroscopic surface contour on two ophthalmic lenses of the same power variation, one with a grounded surface and the other with a polished surface, was determined.

As a sports bettor, you need to be aware that weather is a factor in the NHL playoffs. That seems like a ridiculous statement, but it's true. Bettors who are aware of the potential for weather issues in a game, and who can adjust accordingly, can give themselves a much needed edge as the playoffs progress and the remaining teams get better and better.
How does the weather affect the NHL playoffs? Quite simply, really. Rinks are designed to keep buildings at a suitable temperature so that ice can be consistent. For the most part they are able to maintain ice well, but there are two enemies to their efforts, and both come in the spring as the playoffs progress – heat and humidity. Because the doors open and close so much before a game it can be very hard for a building to control the temperature and humidity in the building. Both factors have the same basic impact on ice – it makes it much slower. When ice gets warmer or more humid then it gets softer, and that makes it harder to skate fast. Hard ice is fast ice, so soft ice slows things down and NHL handicappers need to keep this in mind..
There are further issues that can be caused. If the ice remains soft then it is also going to deteriorate more rapidly and more significantly. If they turn up the refrigeration and the air conditioning in an attempt to control the situation then there is a good chance that the problem can swing in the other direction and the ice can become brittle and also fragile. Either way, it is very hard for icemakers to maintain a good surface during the playoffs. This is even more of the case if they have to remove or cover the ice frequently – like if the building is also being used for the NBA playoffs.
When trying to determine whether the weather is going to be a factor in the playoffs and should be considered when preparing to bet there are four factors to keep in mind:
History of the building – It's far more likely that the ice is going to be a factor if it has been in the past. Some buildings have more problem than others – the southern arenas are often a problem because of their weather, for example. By looking back at what has happened in the past NHL handicappers can get a sense of whether something is likely to happen again.
Team speed – The more a hockey team relies on speed to get their edge, the more significantly it is going to be impacted by problems with the ice. There are some teams that look to move up the ice faster than their opponents can set up on defense, and which try to get back on defense as quickly as they can. A team that is particularly fast is hard for an opponent to play against at the best of times, but that difficulty can be particularly significant later in the NHL playoffs if they have the stamina to maintain their speed because their opponents will be getting tired and more worn down. Soft ice could serve to slow down the team and minimize their edge. The betting public is more likely to focus on the edge their speed gives than the challenges of the conditions, so savvy sports bettors could find value.
Passing aggressiveness – Some teams rely on longer breakaway passes in an attempt to create opportunities and mismatches. Others prefer shorter, puck controlling passes. If the condition of the ice is suspect then those longer passes are higher risk. Teams could fail to complete those passes effectively, or they could be forced to alter their game away form what has got them to where they are. A team that is less aggressive with their passing – or less reliant on aggressive passing for their success – could be a more attractive bet if the weather is likely to be an issue.
Familiarity with ice issues – NHL handicappers need to realize that a team like Edmonton is going to be far less familiar with dealing with softening ice and the issues it brings than one like Tampa Bay. If those two teams were playing each other in the playoffs then they would both have to deal with the same conditions, but Tampa would clearly be better suited to adapting and adjusting than Edmonton would. Teams on the east coast would be better at dealing with humidity and the effects than a team from somewhere like Calgary or Denver where humidity isn't often an issue. Use these facts when handicapping and betting on the NHL playoffs.

Enriquez, M., Afonin, O., Yager, B., MacLean, K. (2001). "A Pneumatic Tactile Notification System for the Driving Environment." in Proceedings of Workshop on Perceptive User Interfaces (PUI '01), Orlando, FL, 2001.
Sensory overloaded environments present an opportunity for innovative design in the area of Human-Machine Interaction. In this paper we study the usefulness of a tactile display in the automobile environment. Our approach uses a simple pneumatic pump to produce pulsations of varying frequencies on the driver's hands through a car steering wheel fitted with inflatable pads. The goal of the project is to evaluate the effectiveness of such a system in alerting the driver of a possible problem, when it is used to augment the visual display presently used in automobiles. A steering wheel that provides haptic feedback using pneumatic pockets was developed to test our hypothesis. The steering wheel can pulsate at different frequencies. The system was tested in a simple multitasking paradigm on several subjects and their reaction times to different stimuli were measured and analyzed. For these experiments, we found that using a tactile feedback device lowers reaction time significantly and that modulating frequency of vibration provides extra information that can reduce the time necessary to identify a problem.


The Northern Ireland High Court in C (A Person under a Disability) v Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland [2020] NIQB 3 has awarded damages of £16,500 for a breach of article 3 in respect of a failure by the police to conduct a proper investigation into the reported rape of a twenty-year-old woman with Asperger's syndrome.
The Claimant was diagnosed with Asperger's when twelve years old and lacked capacity to bring the proceedings in her own right. She alleged that she was raped and that the police failed in a number of respects. These included:
- The police failed to seize any relevant CCTV footage and did not conduct house-to-house inquiries to seek further witnesses;
- No attempt was made to follow up the Claimant's statement that she had left personal belongings in the place where she was raped;
- No attempt was made to retrieve the Claimant's diary, which her mother told the police might contain relevant information;
- There was no follow-up of the Claimant's mother's telling the police that her daughter had received text messages asking her not to proceed with the allegation;
- The police initially failed to take any statements from the people who were with the Claimant on the night of the rape;
- The Claimant was not interviewed until six months after she had been raped;
- The police failed to submit relevant evidence for analysis for over five months;
- The investigating officers had received inadequate training with respect to the investigation of rape relating to a vulnerable adult and were not aware of Achieving Best Evidence Guidelines.
The judge recounted the detailed history of the investigation. Without repeating all of that here, his conclusions were:
- There had been delay in conducting an ABE interview, due the inability of the police to assemble an appropriately credited and experienced team to conduct it. When an issue arose as to the Claimant's wishes to continue with the complaint, an officer should have visited her to ascertain whether she wanted to proceed [61].
- The investigating officer had no specific training in the investigation of serious sexual offences, particularly those involving vulnerable victims. He had no familiarity with policy documents and document on investigating child abuse and rape. The absence of training was a systemic failing [62].
- There were operational failures of a failure to obtain statements, a delay in obtaining statements, a failure to follow up investigative leads, a delay in following up investigative leads, a failure to secure and process evidence, delay in securing and processing evidence, a failure to reassess the overall strategy when it was clear that the interview of the Claimant was going to be delayed and a failure of supervising officers to direct a change in strategy [63].
The judge considered that these encompassed both operational and systemic failings. The operational failings could not be described as minor or insignificant but were serious. They resulted in the Ombudsman recommending misconduct proceedings for two officers, who accepted that they had failed to conduct a thorough investigation. Two more senior officers received advice and guidance for their supervisory failings. The combination of all the failings represented a failure to carry out an effective investigation and undoubtedly constituted a breach of article 3 [92].
The judge further considered that although the police's failures would have caused the Claimant some upset, distress and frustration, the significant and severe psychiatric and psychological deterioration which occurred following the incident would have occurred even had the police conducted the investigation in a flawless manner. In those circumstances, the judge awarded damages of £16,500 including interest.

Security lapse at India's Jio exposed coronavirus symptom checker results
Since the start of the outbreak, governments and companies have scrambled to develop apps and websites that can help users identify COVID-19 symptoms.
India's largest cell network Jio, a subsidiary of Reliance, launched its coronavirus self-test symptom checker in late March, just before the Indian government imposed a strict nationwide lockdown to prevent the further spread of the coronavirus. The symptom checker allows anyone to check their symptoms from their phone or Jio's website to see if they may have become infected with COVID-19.
But a security lapse exposed one of the symptom checker's core databases to the internet without a password, TechCrunch has found.

Security researcher Anurag Sen found the database on May 1, just after it was first exposed, and informed TechCrunch to notify the company. Jio quickly pulled the system offline after TechCrunch made contact. It's not known if anyone else accessed the database.
"We have taken immediate action," said Jio spokesperson Tushar Pania. "The logging server was for monitoring performance of our website, intended for the limited purpose of people doing a self-check to see if they have any COVID-19 symptoms."
The database contains millions of logs and records starting April 17 through to the time that the database was pulled offline. Although the server contained a running log of website errors and other system messages, it also ingested vast numbers of user-generated self-test data. Each self-test was logged in the database and included a record of who took the test — such as "self" or a relative, their age, and their gender.
The data also included the person's user agent, a small snippet of information about the user's browser version and the operating system, often used to load the website properly but can also be used to track a user's online activity.
The database also contains individual records of those who signed up to create a profile, allowing users to update their symptoms over time. These records contained the answers to each question asked by the symptom checker, including what symptoms they are experiencing, who they have been in contact with, and what health conditions they may have.
Some of the records also contained the user's precise location, but only if the user allowed the symptom checker access to their browser or phone's location data.
We've posted a redacted portion of one of the records below.

From one sample of data we obtained, we found thousands of users' precise geolocation from across India. TechCrunch was able to identify people's homes using the latitude and longitude records found in the database.
Most of the location data is clustered around major cities, like Mumbai and Pune. TechCrunch also found users in the United Kingdom and North America.
The exposure could not come at a more critical time for the Indian telecoms giant. Last week Facebook invested $5.7 billion for a near-10% stake in Jio's Platforms, valuing the Reliance subsidiary at about $66 billion.
Jio did not answer our follow-up questions, and the company did not say if it will inform those who used the symptom tracker of the security lapse.

An integral representation of the displacement for problems of transient propagation of horizontally polarized shear waves is employed to investigate the diffraction of a plane wave by a crack of finite length. The stress intensity factors at small times are derived for an incident wave of arbitrary shape. For a step-stress wave the maximum stress intensity factors are shown to exceed the factors of the corresponding static problem by a factor 4 π. Brittle fracture is subsequently investigated by employing a balance of rate of energy. It is shown that for a step-stress wave the critical stress for brittle fracture is reduced by a factor π 4√2 as compared to the critical stress of the corresponding static problem. Ductile fracture is studied by assuming that yielding is restricted to a narrow band in the vicinity of the crack tips. The propagation velocity of the zone of yielding is computed and the location of the point of rupture is determined.

(DETROIT FREE PRESS) — The toe and heel of the boot are scuffed and a bit dusty. The sole has a few holes, and a small sock is tucked inside.
It now belongs to University of Michigan professor Jason De Leon. The boot was one of the first items he plucked out of the Sonora Desert in Arizona when he started the Undocumented Migration Project in 2008 to put his archaeological and anthropological training to use studying migrant workers who illegally cross the border into the U.S.
He still has questions about that boot: How old was the child who wore it? Why did it get left behind? Did a parent have to carry the child the rest of the way? How do you explain to your child why you're walking across the desert?

Spa Designs Around the World
Ahhh, who doesn't like a day at the spa? While spas offer patrons the chance to escape and experience utter bliss with a utopia-like atmosphere, aesthetically, spas offer more than basic relaxation and practicality. In fact, a spa design concept begins and ends with the notion of promoting general well-being.
The best spa designs around the world enhance and benefit physical, emotional and mental states. But how exactly can a spa design concept accomplish such a feat?
A Mainstream Industry Rooted in Culture
When taking a look at current trends in spas designs around the world, it helps to view design concepts from a historical perspective.
Here's a fun fact: The word "spa" is actually an acronym from the Latin phrase 'Salus per Aquam,' which means 'Health from Water.'
Historically, spas were naturally forming water springs that were used to aid in the healing process. Some of the oldest references of spas are found to be dated back to 370 B.C. In all that time, spas have not lost their fundamental purpose of promoting holistic medicine and wellbeing.
Fast forward 2000 years, spas are at the forefront of the holistic health and wellness movement. And spa design concepts seem to embody the assertion that nature heals.
Spa Designs Around the World
If spas are developed as wellness centers, architecture and design also enhance this setting through the use of clean lines, warm color palettes, and geometrical shapes often found in nature. Some of the most notable designs in the spa industry indicate just how entrenched 'natural healing' concepts have been incorporated.
In order for the spa guest to have an instant feeling of relaxation, they need to step into a harmonious space. In linking all senses, décor, color, sounds and scents each play their own role in telling the story of the spa and help to set the ambiance and experience.
From spa design concepts that enhance their natural environment to quiet havens in bustling cities, these designs are some of the most prolific within the spa industry.
Arclin TFL's Cognac and Alabama Cherry look modern and clean when paired with white.
Victorian Architecture
Paying homage to ancient Rome and even taking elements from the ancient Egyptians, Victorian Architecture is both grand and eclectic. Its use for practicality is minimal, favoring beauty instead. For spas, elements of wood and stone are often used. Ancient Roman baths are considered the cornerstone of these spa settings. Asymmetrical lines and ornate accents are emphasized to promote grandeur while still remaining humble in other aspects.
Taking a look at St. Pancras Spa at the Renaissance Hotel in London, these design concepts are incorporated and anything but subtle. For color, a peacock theme and colored accents establish notions and motifs of eternal life and rejuvenation.
Nature as Inspiration
Other spa design concepts utilize nature as continued inspiration. In mimicking the environment from which they derived, these spas exemplify elements of their surroundings and usually remain minimalistic. Focal points are live plants, enhancing the spas restorative journey. In addition, warm woods and neutral linens are used. Bamboo, similarly, sets a tone for Eastern-inspired spa designs.
The Aman Spa located in Canyon Point, Utah is a beautiful design inspired by its natural surroundings. The region's ancient Navajo landscapes stay firmly in place as the focal point of the spa design concept. The architecture is bold, albeit simplistic, and properly juxtaposes the smooth curves of the background while upholding the elegance of modern spas.
Modern & Worldly Elements
Spa Design with Calm Horizon by Arclin TFL
This eclectic, modern spa design can be replicated with Arclin TFL's rustic weathered Calm Horizon, which has great fidelity and color. See Calm Horizon here. HR Maple is also a classic choice that allows design elements, like these teal built-ins, to pop.
Uniquely designed spaces often incorporate a multitude of design concepts. Some select from modern or contemporary details, such as geometric lines, neutral tones, and bold pieces. Worldly aesthetics can include inspiration from various areas around the globe or region-specific accents. For instance, beach themes can be inspired by Thailand and the Asia Pacific, Caribbean roots or South American heritage.
Galgorm Resort & Spa located in Ballymena, Northern Ireland is a breathtaking spa design combining elements of various design aesthetics. Outwardly facing, dark woods and exposed weather bricks make up much of the façade. Inside, comfortable hanging pod chairs and pendant lights, plus adornments of vibrant colors, create an uplifting atmosphere while still remaining comforting and relaxing.

The front gate and a small section of the original Maison Centrale (Hoa Lo Prison) are still standing and now house a museum exhibiting the history of this prison perhaps best known in the US because John McCain spent some time there after being shot down during the Vietnam War. (The Vietnam War is here referred to as the American War to distinguish it from the preceding 80 years of conflict.) A new high-rise hotel has been built on the grounds of the demolished portion of the prison. It is not a Hilton.
As horrific as the treatment of US servicemen may have been (the Hoa Lo exhibits claim otherwise), one comes away from the museum with an appreciation of the length and intensity of the Vietnamese people's struggle against foreign aggression. Built in the 1880s-1890s by the French, Hoa Lo was first used to house, and in some cases to execute by guillotine, Vietnamese insurgents. The prison was used in this capacity, mostly by the French, but also by the Japanese during World War II, until the mid-1950s. The prison's relatively short period of use during the Vietnam War to house US POWs felt like a mere footnote in its long and gruesome history.

Barrage Viereth
Rejuvenation for 80-year-old infrastructure
At over 80 years old, the oldest barrage on the Main has long since reached its theoretical service life. In terms of maintenance, KREBS + KIEFER contributes a lot towards the planning of the building and structural engineering.
Among other things, the damaged weir rollers need to be replaced by segment weirs, which can better withstand today's constant fine adjustment. The engineers have developed all the necessary adjustments for this. Because the new gates introduce a modified load, the pillar foundations have to be renovated and a record of compliance with current standards needs to be maintained. Along with the weir gates, the worn-out weir supports had to be renewed.
The planning work also included the renewal of the pool base, retaining walls and culverts for provisional cable conduits. Because of the insular position of the weir between the lock and power plant, good site logistics is essential for the smooth progress of the renovation work. As such, a crane foundation was built into the embankment of the weir field as a preliminarily measure.

text: I'm not sure how to explain this properly, but here's the issue that I'm having, and hoping someone knows how I could fix it: In CS4, I could go to the art board settings (I believe it's Shift+O), and set the x and y coordinates to something easy to remember (such as 0, 0), and this would become the center of the art board. Then if I was working with a square, or any other object, and needed to center it on the board, I would simply click the object, load up the Transform window (Shift+F8), and then enter the x/y coordinates 0,0, and press tab. This would center the object on the art board. With CS6, this isn't the case. For some reason the art board's center is independent from the object's center. For example, if I load up a regular page, its center is 4.25/5.5. If I change it to 0,0, and try to manually center the object to that, then the object will not be centered when it's at 0,0. Instead, it will still think that the center is the original 4.25/5.5. Anyone know how to get CS6's art board to behave the same way as in CS4?


How A Lawyer Can Help After A Child Drowns In A Neighbor's Pool
Did your child drown in a neighbor's in-ground swimming pool due to a drain not being properly covered? If you have asked your neighbor for financial assistance with the situation and he or she refuses, you can get assistance from a personal injury lawyer. Take a look at this article to find out about the services that a lawyer can provide to help you receive justice for your deceased child.
1. Listen to Your Story
The first step to resolving your dispute is to explain to a lawyer what happened on the day of your child's drowning. Don't leave out any details that might be held against you by the defendant's lawyer if the case has to go to court. For instance, if your child was playing with the drain and removed the cover, you must tell your lawyer so a proper defense can be built.
2. Get Evidence to Prove Your Case
Your lawyer will gather evidence from the police station that details what happened on the day of the incident. For instance, the evidence will likely include photos of the drain and the condition of the cover. You will be asked to provide any medical bills that you may have that stemmed from the incident. Proof of your child's funeral expenses must be handed over to your lawyer, as well as for lost wages and counseling sessions. If other people were swimming in the pool, they may be questioned by your lawyer and asked to be witnesses if it becomes necessary.
3. Contact the Home Insurance Company
Your lawyer will find out if your neighbor has home insurance coverage so a file can be claimed on your behalf. The lawyer will talk to the insurance company about your evidence and how much money you should receive. If the insurance company does not want to pay the full amount of money that you are asking for, the matter can be taken to court. The case might also go to court if your neighbor's insurance policy will only cover up to a certain amount, which means you can possibly receive money from the insurance company and through a lawsuit.
4. File a Petition in Court
If court becomes necessary, your lawyer will file a petition that details what you are asking the other party to pay. Your lawyer will then present all of your evidence to a judge to prove that you deserve what you are asking for. Speak to a personal injury lawyer, such as the Erickson Law Office, about your complaint as soon as you are able to.

Is Pink Turkey Meat Safe?|
| The color pink in cooked
turkey meat raises a "red flag" to many diners and cooks. Conditioned
to be wary of cooked fresh pork that looks pink, they question
the safety of cooked poultry and other meats that have a rosy
Numerous callers to the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline report
being alarmed when seeing "pink." To them, it means "unsafe"
"I cooked my turkey until done according to the directions,
but when I sliced the breast meat, it was still pink near the
bone," said an Oklahoma caller. "Is it safe?"
"We had a big family argument at Thanksgiving dinner. Aunt
Mildred wouldn't eat the turkey because it looked pink," reported
the beleaguered cook from a Wisconsin family.
The color of cooked poultry is not always a sure sign of its
safety. Only by using a food thermometer can one accurately
determine that poultry has reached a safe minimum internal temperature
of 165 °F throughout the product. Turkey can remain pink
even after cooking to a safe minimum internal temperature of 165
°F. The meat of smoked turkey is always pink.
To understand some of the causes of "pinking" or "pinkening"
in fresh turkey, it's important to know first what gives
meat its natural color.
Why is Poultry Lighter in Color Than Beef?
The protein myoglobin is the major pigment found in
all vertebrates and can exist in various forms which determine
the resulting meat color. The major reason that poultry meat
is much lighter in color than beef is that it is dramatically
lower in myoglobin. Also, as an animal becomes older, its myoglobin
content usually increases. Turkeys today are young — 4
to 5 months old at the time of slaughter.
Why Are White & Dark Meat of Poultry Different
The pink, red or white coloration of meat is due primarily to
oxygen-storing myoglobin which is located in the muscle cells
and retains the oxygen brought by the blood until the cells
need it. To some extent, oxygen use can be related to the bird's
general level of activity: muscles that are exercised frequently

What Causes Well-Done Meat to Be Pink?
- Chemical Changes During Cooking.
Scientists have found that pinkness occurs when gases in
the atmosphere of a heated gas or electric oven react chemically
with hemoglobin in the meat tissues to give poultry a pink
tinge. They are the same substances that give red color
to smoked hams and other cured meats.
The presence of high levels of myoglobin, or some of its
redder forms due to incomplete denaturation during heat
processing, can account for poultry having a pink to red
color similar to that of an undercooked product.
- Natural Presence of Nitrites.
Nitrites are commonly used to produce a desired pink color
in traditionally cured meats such as ham or bologna. So
it follows that the natural presence of nitrates and nitrites,
either in the feed or water supply, used in the production
of poultry are a factor in nitrite levels in the birds.
One study found that during 40 hours of storage at 40 °F,
naturally occurring microorganisms converted nitrate to
nitrite. It also found that the local water supply had nitrate
and, thus, it could serve as a nitrate source during processing.
- Young Age of Meat.
Often meat of younger birds shows the most pink because
their thinner skins permit oven gases to reach the flesh.
The amount of fat in the skin also affects the amount of
pink color. Young birds or animals also lack the shield
of a fat covering.
Meat and poultry grilled or smoked outdoors can also look
pink, even when cooked to 165 °F. There may be a pink-colored rim
about one-half inch wide around the outside of the cooked
meat. The meat of commercially smoked turkeys is usually
pink because it is prepared with natural smoke and liquid

Foundations of Education
This course introduces the prospective teachers to the three foundations of education, namely, psychological, anthropological and sociological. In the discussion of psychological foundations, learner, the learning process, and the learning situation are emphasized. It discusses the significant facts about each of these components and their inter-relationships in determining the effectiveness of any teaching-learning endeavor. On the anthropological foundations, emphasis is given to culture, cultural heritage, the Filipino family, and the Philippine cultural values. Sociological foundations include topics like education and society and socialization.


Nonlinearity in Broadband Wireless Communication Systems
Licentiatavhandling, 2003
In the implementation of a digital communication system, there often exist imperfections that are not considered in the primary design. One such imperfection is the nonlinearity of the front-end devices. In most cases the physics of the nonlinearity is not completely known, and therefore the analysis of the system is very difficult, if not impossible. In this case models based on the observations from the device behavior has to be built and used in the study of the system. This thesis focuses on modeling and analysis of a system with nonlinearity. The topics covered here are modeling the nonlinearities, the impact of nonlinearity on a digital communication link, compensation of the nonlinearity effects, and measures to evaluate the susceptibility of signals to nonlinearity. In the modeling part, a model for a bandpass nonlinearity which is based on measurements on several harmonics of the output is presented. Unlike linear systems, in nonlinear systems a baseband equivalent does not contain all the information about the bandpass system. In this case the original bandpass model has to be used in some analysis. The model is then used to evaluate the performance of a broadband wireless communication system in the presence of nonlinearity. Two major classes of modulation for broadband wireless transmission are studied and the effect of nonlinearity on them is addressed. We also present and compare several methods of compensating the nonlinearity of the RF front-end of a wireless system. The methods include baseband and RF compensation methods. The design procedure for each one is discussed and the performance of the compensated system is evaluated. Finally we study signal measures related to nonlinearities, such as PAPR (Peak-to-Average-Power-Ratio), with respect to their ability to correctly predict the impact of a nonlinearity on an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system. We also propose new measures for signal distortion in nonlinear systems.

single carrier modulation
orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)

multicarrier modulation

ComEd Owned Street Light Audit
Like a lot of communities around Chicago, The Village of Glencoe has a small collection of street lights that they own and maintain. The rest of the lights are owned and maintained by ComEd, and The Village is then billed for their usage. ComEd provides The Village of Glencoe with a list of all the lights in its database that are within Glencoe's village limits. The Public Works department asked the GIS Department to see if all the lights could be mapped out and then analyzed to make sure that The Village was being billed correctly and that ComEd had the right information for each street light that they owned.
The GIS Department began using a combination of address information, aerial imagery, and Google Streetview to find the locations of each street light provided by ComEd. First, the street light locations were mapped against the Village's address and street range databases placing them in the general vicinity. Then by using a combination of aerial imagery and Google Streetview, the locations of each light were narrowed down. Any street lights in the ComEd database that can't be mapped will be then marked in the database and the Village will have to have discussions with ComEd to figure out the discrepancy. When the street light mapping is completed, The Village of Glencoe will then be assured that they are being billed correctly for their street light usage and that their own street light database is up-to-date.

Drinking a glass of water can be enriching and refreshing. But sometimes water turns cloudy when you pour it in the glass and clears up in few minutes. It happens due to multiple reasons, here are few.
1) Due to a rupture in the plumbing, the air becomes pressurized. This leads to the formation of many micro bubbles which makes the water appear cloudy.
2) Sometimes tiny particles from rocks and stone, as well as sand and dirt can get mixed with your water supply. Again, these are generally harmless.
3) If an adjacent pipe carries gas leaks into your water pipe, it generates pressure. Due to this, pressure bubbles are formed which results in the change in water colour.

>JERUSALEM --Archaeologists digging in northern Israel have discovered evidence of a 3,000-year-old beekeeping industry, including remnants of ancient honeycombs, beeswax and what they believe are the oldest intact beehives ever found.
>The findings in the ruins of the city of Rehov this summer include 30 intact hives dating to around 900 B.C., archaeologist Amihai Mazar of Jerusalem's Hebrew University told The Associated Press.
>The beehives, made of straw and unbaked clay, have a hole at one end to allow the bees in and out and a lid on the other end to allow beekeepers access to the honeycombs inside. They were found in orderly rows, three high, in a room that could have accommodated around 100 hives, Mazar said.

Cheque cashing businesses cash third party cheques immediately, so long as adequate personal identification is provided. They usually charge a flat fee plus a percentage of the face value of the cheque. For example, the charge for cashing a $500 cheque may range between $15 and $20. By contrast, all of the major banks provide low-cost bank accounts with monthly fees of under $4.00.
A 2006 survey indicated that seven per cent of Canadians had used a cheque cashing service over the past year. In Ontario, this would amount to over 800,000 users of these services. Low-income Canadians are disproportionately likely to use cheque cashing services, despite the fact that the fees may have a significant impact on take home pay, reducing the amount of money available for basic necessities. This is of particular concern for persons who are on fixed income, such as those receiving government benefits.
Consumers may use cheque cashing businesses, despite the relatively high fees, for a number of reasons. Some Canadians do not have bank accounts. Some may need the cash immediately, and so have concerns about the holds that banks may place on cheques. Lack of convenient bank locations may also be a factor, particularly in remote or low-income areas. Consumers may also use cheque cashing businesses because of convenience, or the quality of the service.
Several Canadian jurisdictions have taken steps to ensure that consumers are able to receive government payments without the high fees associated with cheque cashing businesses. The federal government has entered into indemnity agreements with the banks so that financial institutions that cash federal government cheques can be assured of payment, and at the same time has required the banks to cash federal government cheques for amounts under $1500 without charge. The province of Alberta has moved towards mandatory direct deposit for government benefits, thus obviating the need for cheque cashing. The provinces of Manitoba and British Columbia have passed legislation that enables them to set maximum fees for cashing government cheques.
The Law Commission of Ontario has initiated a project on fees for cashing government cheques. The purpose of the project is to:
1) examine whether cheque cashing fees are an issue of concern in Ontario, and
2) consider approaches for addressing any concerns regarding cheque cashing fees.
The LCO has developed a Consultation Paper to identify issues and options, and to provide a focal point for discussion and consultation. All interested parties are invited to provide submissions, by Friday, June 13, 2008. Submissions may be sent by mail, fax, or e-mail.
Based on the LCO's independent research, including the responses to the Consultation Paper, the LCO will issue a Final Report with findings and recommendations in the fall of 2008.

Devices like the Amazon Echo are capable of doing a lot of great things, ranging from controlling your music, reminding you of important things, setting timers, and much more. One nice feature of Alexa devices like the Amazon Echo is the ability to control your television, and it works with several brands. One of these brands is DirecTV. But how do you get Alexa set up to control DirecTV?
To set up your Alexa device with DirecTV, you need to enable the DirecTV skill in your Alexa app by searching in the Skills section of the app for DirecTV. Select it, and choose to enable the skill. Select Finish Setup and let Alexa search for DirecTV. Finally, pick the DirecTV device you want to use.
But are there other ways to set up an Echo device with a DirecTV device? And what do you do if one or both of the websites are not working properly?
How to Use Alexa to Control DirecTV
There are multiple things you need to have before you can use Alexa with your DirecTV. For one, you need to have DirecTV already so you have something to control. Also, you need to have a device that is capable of connecting to DirecTV and using Alexa through it. The compatible devices are limited to Echo devices like the Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Show, and other Echo devices. You cannot, unfortunately, use Alexa through a computer or mobile phone to control DirecTV. You also need to sign up for an Amazon.com account to use your Alexa device, much less use it to control DirecTV.
An additional consideration is to make sure that DirecTV and your Alexa device are both connected to the same Wi-Fi connection.
Enable the DirecTV skill by searching in the Alexa app
The best way to get Alexa connected to your DirecTV is to use the Alexa app. You can find the Alexa app on various app stores for both phones and tablets, such as the Google Play Store for many Android devices or App Store for Apple iOS devices. Once it's downloaded and set up with at least one Echo, you can then get to work on downloading the DirecTV skill.
Open the Alexa app, tap the Menu icon, and then select the Skills section. Once here, select the Search option, and then enter DirecTV. Select the DirecTV skill, and then enable it. Once enabled, you will be made to follow certain prompts, until you are given the option to Finish Setup. Allow your Alexa app to search for DirecTV devices (make sure that the device you want to connect to is powered on and connected to your Wi-Fi router). This will take upwards of 20 seconds.
Once the Alexa app has discovered one or more DirecTV devices, select the DirecTV device you want to set up with Alexa, and then choose which Alexa device you would like to control your DirecTV device with.
Enable the DirecTV skill in the Music, Movies & Books section
Another method to find the DirecTV skill is to simply navigate to the Music, Movies & Books section. You can find this by clicking the Menu icon, and then selecting that section. Once you are there, you will be able to find the DirecTV skill. Enable it, and follow the same steps as discussed in the above paragraph.
Enable the DirecTV skill through the Alexa website
While the Alexa app is the typical method to connect Alexa to your DirecTV account, it is not the only method you can use to do it. You can access the Alexa website on your desktop or laptop computer, which works essentially the same as the Alexa app. Once you have enabled the DirecTV skill through the Alexa website, follow the same instructions and prompts that come up after the first method. You can also download the DirecTV skill through Amazon.com's website.
Enable a different Alexa device to work with DirecTV
If you want to use a separate Alexa device to control DirecTV, your Alexa app can set that up for you. You can either set up multiple Echoes at the same time during either of the above-mentioned setup methods, or you can select Set up a DIRECTV Device to set up more Alexa devices with your DirecTV device(s).
Why isn't Alexa connecting to DirecTV?
There are a variety of reasons why Alexa is not able to connect to DirecTV. One of the most common reasons is due to your Internet connection experiencing difficulties. For example, if your Internet is completely down for the count, your Echo will not be able to do anything with your DirecTV. This is because Alexa can only function when she has access to the Internet, even with simple commands that seem like they would not require an Internet connection. If you try to use Alexa while the Internet is down, she will say something like "I'm having trouble connecting right now."
The next thing to do would be to check if the issue is with your Alexa device, or if your Internet is the problem. This can be done by testing the Internet on other devices. So, for instance, if your phone or computer is doing fine with the Internet connection, for example, the problem is likely with the Echo itself. However, if the problem appears consistent with these devices, you'll have to troubleshoot your Wi-Fi router.
The first thing you should try with the troubleshooting process is to unplug the Wi-Fi router from the power source. Wait about 15 seconds, and then plug the router back in. This has the possibility of making the router reset and begin to work properly again. However, another issue is if you recently changed the name of the router or its password. If you did, you need to also update that information on your Echo, using the same method you used to connect it to the Internet.


425 Market Street
Setting new precedents for high-rise stair retrofits at 425 Market Street.
The seismic retrofit of two existing, 40-story egress staircases within a massive high-rise required great care in design and sequencing to keep the occupied building safe during construction. Holmes Structures' retrofit paired with Holmes Fire's safety strategy kept the egress staircases fully operational throughout construction.
Our solution set a precedent for mitigating existing stair vulnerabilities in a vast portfolio of buildings by achieving the following:
 1. Accommodated inter-story drifts as expected from the Non-Linear Response History Analysis (NLRHA), without damage or collapse of stairs.
 2. Minimized disturbance to tenants of the fully occupied building.
 3. Kept egress undisturbed through coordination with the San Francisco Fire Department.
 4. Kept stairwells operational 24/7 during construction.
 5. Resulted in significant cost savings and delivered the project ahead of schedule.
Retrofit Design
The existing stairs consisted of top and bottom stringers rigidly attached at the floor levels, and an intermediate landing suspended from the existing floor framing. Holmes Structures' retrofit left top and bottom connections undisturbed to avoid shoring the stringer runs and interrupting the path of egress. Earthquake-induced movement at the intermediate landing was accommodated by cutting the landing in half and re-supporting it on low friction pads and support framing. The support framing attached to extensions of the existing suspended rods, eliminating the need for shoring entirely. The built-in shoring was designed so that saw cutting of the landing could be halted in the middle of construction if emergency egress was necessary.
An onsite mock-up of the retrofit was conducted for a single landing at each stairwell. The mock-ups exposed unforeseen conditions such as the extents and locations of abatement including asbestos-containing materials, sheetrock, fireproofing and lead paint. Lessons learned from the mock-up saved $500,000 USD and delivered the project ahead of schedule.
Egress Strategy
Holmes Fire worked closely with the city Fire Marshall to obtain approval for a complex sequencing plan, allowing the pressurized egress stairs to remain operational in case of emergency. At no point could the fire stair be closed during office hours; Holmes Fire extensively collaborated with Holmes Structures and the contractor to accommodate the movement of extensive construction equipment and labor teams from landing to landing.
In high-rise buildings, pressurized stairs are typically enclosed to prevent smoke spread across levels. However, in the case of 425 Market, the retrofit solution and abatement measures required punching holes in the stairwell walls, which changed the airflow and consequentially the prospective smoke spread. Holmes Fire devised a sequenced sealing-off of the stair shafts in combination with fans to meet functional smoke control requirements.


I'm starting to make a symbol and subject index with the package multind. In the symbol index, I would like to group the symbols by thematics, e.g., write set theory notation and have all the symbols below the description, after write operators and have all the notation for the operators, etc.
Does anyone knows how to do this?
I would like to obtain something like the following
Can anyone help me with a minimal working example? Preferably changing the section with page number.

 The package multind is very old and unmaintained. I suggest you to use either imakeidx or splitidx to generate multiple indexes. – karlkoeller Nov 20 '13 at 6:01

 This seems more a work for the glossaries package. – egreg Nov 20 '13 at 8:49
You can use glossaries to do this. I assume you either want to sort your symbols according to definition or to usage since symbols are difficult to sort alphabetically (and your sample isn't alphabetically sorted). With glossaries you can use the package option sort=def to sort in order of definition or sort=use to sort according to usage. In the example below, I've used sort=def (change \setglossarystyle to \glossarystyle if you are using a version of glossaries prior to version 4.0):
% (Pre glossaries v4.0 requires \glossarystyle rather than
% \setglossarystyle)
% Define a command to define operators
% Syntax: \newoperator[options]{label}{operator symbol}
% Similarly for constants
% Define operators
% Define constants
\chapter{Sample Chapter}
Some sample usage of constants:
 \gls{pdash}, \gls{Mcn}, \gls{jnu}
Some sample usage of operators:
 \gls{Mop}, \gls{Aalpha}, \gls{nablaOmega}
More sample usage:
\gls{T}, \gls{I2}, \gls{Jz}, \gls{Gz},
\gls{Mcn}, \gls{Dpq}, \gls{jnu}
In order to build the PDF you need to do:
 1. Run pdflatex
 2. Run makeglossaries
 3. Run pdflatex
The above example produces:
Page 1:
Image of page 1
Page 2:
Image of page 2
Page 3:
Image of page 3
In your example image, you have some lines with multiple entries (for example, c, c_1, c_2, \ldots, v_n). There are various ways to deal with these. You could designate the first in the list (e.g, c) as the main parent entry, and the remainder as sub-entries, and then define a glossary style that puts the sub-entry names after the parent entry name, but this will complicate the location list. However, I think the easiest solution is probably to define an entry with the specified list and then use \glsdisp or \glslink whenever you use it.
For example:
\newconstant{c}{c, c_1, c_2, \ldots, v_n}
Then in the document:
In-line: $\glslink{c}{c}$ or $\glslink{c}{c_1}$ or $\glslink{c}{c_2}$ etc.
