Although there may be several origins of Yohe, there is no doubt that some with this name are directly related to the Joho line. In the ship's manifest of the Snow Two Sisters arriving Philadelphia in 1738, Johannes Joho's name is also spelled Johe.
I have found various records throughout the years where the same person is spelled Yoho, Yohe, and Yoh. I have also received several letters from families in the Western US who indicated their parents or grandparents changed their name of Yoho to Yohe, because apparently there are more families living in that part of the US with the Yohe spelling. One such letter came from William Yohe in Des Moines Iowa who had traced his line back to Peter Yoho.
There is strong evidence that the perhaps the majority of those with the name Yohe derived it from the Joh spelling. There are several sources that relate the names Yohe and Joh and some that relate Yohe to Yoha. Some accounts of the origin of Yohe follow:.
|Sources of Johe/Yohe Genealogy|
In 1998 I received a copy of a recent family history entitled "The Old Eberbacher Families. The origin of the Swiss Immigrant Conrad Joho to Schinznach in Aargau" by Hermann Eiermann dated 1997. I have partially translated this book (from German) that accounts for the history of Conrad Joho dating from 1395 in Baden Switzerland.
This book contains a few references to the Name Johe and Joh. Some of my translation is as follows:
The investigations of Joho must expand to include similarly written surnames, but it is not clear from where these other names take their origin. The surname Johe is very common in South Hessen. This name however is not found in the documents of the Erbacher's files around 1450. When and from where this name originated is also not recogonized from the oldest church books. The original (church? book?) burned and was recreated again in a way of a so-called inspection by the minister, by citing and indicating the living citizens to approximately 1650.
Three citations of the name Johe and Joh were found in Eiermann's book:
In 1998, I received a letter from Richard Yohe that included historical information from Scott Yohe of Washington D.C.
Our records start in 1668, when members of the Huguenot family named Joe (Joseph) fled religious persecution in France and settled in a Lutheran area (specifically, near Beerfelden, Erbach. The spelling was soon changed to Joh but pronounced Yo-uh. Sometime in the mid-1700s the "e" was put back on the end of the name to make it more like the original. Our ancestor, Michael, Sr., was a young boy when brought to Easton, PA in 1754 by his mother and step-father. It seems that she and his late father were cousins, and her brother, Adam Yohe (the "J" was quickly changed to "Y" and the "e" made long), also settled in Easton. After the revolution, Michael moved west and settled in Monogahela City, south of Pittsburgh. His son, Michael, Jr., got a land grant in Ohio (one of my cousins still has the document) and settled near Canton. Our grandfather, an uncle, and his sons operated (and still do) a hardware business. Our great grandfather, George Washington Yohe was an enterprising character, who, among other things, taught political science at Mt. Union College, named many of the streets in Canton, and owned a lot of real estate, including Hotel Yohe.
With regard to Yohe/Yoho... I have never heard anyone even suggest there was a connection between these two names (Yoho and Yohe). At one time ( 20 years) a grandfather was doing all sorts of research into the family name, tracing it back to wherever... and there wasn't a word about that spelling. "Yoh" was the root name and when it hit the US they added the "e" for so folks could pronounce it...at least that's what I was told.
Chris Stern from British Columbia Canada sent the following e-mail about the name Yoh and Yohe:
We are interested in the 3 names Johann Jacob Joh, Johan Adam Joh, and Johann Michel Joh who were aboard the ship Albany in 1749 listed on your website. All three go back to Jacob Joh ea. 1630 Germany.
I am also corresponding with others doing research on the Yohe line. They all have similar information as to the Yohe name going back to Germany in 1630. From all their correspondence, it seems that Joh was changed to Yohe when the 3 came over. Johann Adam and Johann Jacob were brothers Johan Michael was their cousin.
I can find no Issac Yohe, but the information I have doesn't include any children for Johann Jacob. I have descendants for their sister Anna Maria Barbara which is also the mother of Johan Michael Joh(Yohe) that came on the Albany. They are also related to the Shouse. My genealogy site contains a small page on Yohe, although this page is still under construction.
Chris also included an early partial Family Lineage from Beerfelden Parish Church in Odenwald Germany:
Hans Peter Joh(1691-?) Married Anna Elizabeth Ulrich (_PHONE_);
Hans Georg Joh (1693-?) Married Anna Margareta Ulrich (?-1767)
George Conrad Joh Married Anna Maria Barbara Joh (This is the daughter of the above Hans Peter Joh and Anna Ulrich)
I saw your family page on the Internet. I've been doing research on the YOH, YOHE, JOH family who settled in Schuylkill Co. These Yohs don't seem to fit in with your family but since you mentioned Jacob and William Yoh of Schuylkill Co. I thought I would fill you in on some details.
This Jacob Yoh was born about 1755 and died in Schuylkill Co. in 1829. According to his will his children were Henry, Adam, William, Benjamin, Ester, Peggy, Catherine and Jacob.
William Yoh was born in 1787 and died in 1827. He is buried at Flowery Field Cemetery, near Pottsville, Pa. He married Maria Boyer, the daughter of another early settler in Schuylkill Co. They had a son, James, who died in Jefferson Co. Pa. in 1899 at age 82. Adam Yoh, another son of Jacob, also moved to Jefferson Co. Pa.
Jacob was apparently the son of George (b. abt 1720 and died 1782) and Elizabeth Yoh of Windsor Twp. Berks Co.
There are a lot of Yohs buried in the Mifflinville Cemetery, Mifflin Twp, Columbia Co. Pa. Supposedly they are descendants of Peter Yoh of Berks Co. who may have been a son of George-- and thus a brother of Jacob.
I have some more information about this family, if you are interested. Let me know.

The following account was found in Joseph H. Zerbey History, Pottsville and Schuylkill County PA. The original article quoted in the account is from the Pottsville Republican Morning Paper, September 1934:
New Castle Township, so named after the famous coal centre of England was formed from Norwegian in 1847. Prior to its organization as a separate township it was a part of Norweigian Township, one of the nine original townships of Schuylkill.
The first settlers in what is now New Castle Township were Jacob Joh, John boyer, and Necho Allen. The Necho Allen Hotel in Pottsville perpetuates the memory of this early Schuylkill County Pioneer. Yoh settled on the turnpike leading west from Wadesville near the present residence of Owen Loftus and which at an earlier date was the home of Evan Evans, early coal operator and the father of Wm. J. Evans, present Prothonotary of Sch. County.
Boyer located about a mile north of Yoh, on the road leading to Mt. Laffee. This dwelling was later occupied by Tobey hire, and was but recently removed due to mining operations.
Necho Allen settled at the Big Spring about one-half mile above the later site of the village of New Castle on the summit of Broad Mountain. His residence was called the "black Cabin".
In one of his hunting expiditions in 1790, Allen camped on Broad Mountain for the night and kindled a fire among some rocks. During the night he wakened to find a mass of glowing fire, having accidently set fire to an outcrop of an anthracite coal-bed.
Later a tavern was erected on the spot along the Centre Turnpike and called the "Second Tavern" to distinguish it from another tavern located in the village of New Castle, and known as the "First Tavern". This latter building was recently removed, its last occupant being Peter McCloskey. These three early settlers took up residence in the township about the year 1800.
William Yoh (Yohe), son of Jacob Yoh and son-in-law of John Boyer, built the first tavern along what became the Centre Turnpike, about 1810. This tavern was burned in 183

Public confidence in sentencing and the criminal justice system
The Sentencing Council has a statutory duty to have regard to the need to promote public confidence in the system when developing the sentencing guidelines and monitoring their impact. To achieve this, the Council must have an understanding of the public's attitude to, and knowledge of, sentencing and the criminal justice system.
Public Knowledge of and Confidence in the Criminal Justice System and Sentencing reports on research carried out to help the Council meet its public confidence obligations. The research, which included an online survey of 2,000 adults representative of the population of England and Wales, provides insight into what drives the public's attitudes and understanding of the system and suggests how the Council might reinforce and improve their confidence.
Among the key findings are:
- Sixty-seven per cent of the public and 68 per cent of victims of crime said that the existence of sentencing guidelines improved their confidence in the fairness of sentencing at least a little.
- Confidence in the effectiveness and fairness of the criminal justice system is mixed, and varies according to demographic factors and involvement. Young adults (18-34), those in the highest socio-demographic group (AB) and BAME adults are particularly likely to be confident in the system.
- Having contact with certain agencies in the system, particularly the criminal courts, emerged as a key driver of positive perceptions of confidence, as is experience of the system that has improved their understanding of sentencing.
- Conversely, living in certain regions of the country, most notably the North of England, was a key driver of negative perceptions of confidence and the perception that sentencing is too lenient.
- Around 70 per cent of the public think sentencing in general is too lenient and the public is particularly likely to regard sentences for serious crimes, like rape and death by dangerous driving, as too lenient. However, this perception tends to lessen noticeably when the public are presented with actual scenarios and sentences (based on real cases).
- A majority of those surveyed were confident they understood terms like 'life sentence' and 'statutory maximum sentence', although under half felt confident they understood the term, 'on licence'. However, qualitative discussions showed that actual understanding lagged behind perceived understanding.
The research was conducted for the Council by ComRes.

widgets are placed inside a Ext JS window using the code:
 var win = new Ext.Window({
 title : 'RGIIT',
 width : 500,
 border : 'false',
 height : 100,
 id : 'win',
 name : 'win',
 bodyStyle : 'background-color:_TAG_;padding: 10px',
 autoScroll : true,
 items: [{
 items: [
 buttonAlign : 'right', // buttons aligned to the right
 buttons :[{
 text :'save',
 handler : getName
 text : 'Cancel'
To do this as soon as user request to retrieve the name we call the handler associated with the save button. The selected Enrollment Number is sent back to server side using AJAX request with the help of following code written in handler.
function getName (btn)
 url :'showStudentInfo.htm',
 method : 'POST',
 params: {
 rollNumber : rollNumbers.getValue()
 scope : this
To retrieve the selected Enrollment Number at the server side we will do something like this
String enrollmentNumber = request.getParameter("rollNumber");
Note that parameter in function getParameter is the value sent by AJAX request. Now only task remaining is to fetch value again from DB using MyBatis and send it back to client side. To do this we again call a function in defined in StudentInfoDAO name getName() which will look like
public String getName(String rollNumber) throws PersistenceException {
 SqlSession session = sf.openSession();
 try {
 ArrayList getName = (ArrayList)session.selectList("com.batch2k7.model.SimpleMappers.getName");
 if (getName == null) {
 return getName.get(0).getName();
 } finally {
We invoke this function like this:
if (rollNumber!= null) {
 StudentInfoDAO studDao = new StudentInfoDAO(sf);
 String name = studDao.getName(rollNumber);
Now we can again send name back to client side using the method I describe earlier in this tutorial and display it to user using a MessageBox
When user click on save button, an AJAX request is sent back to server as I described earlier, value is fetched from DB ans sent back to client side. To display it use the code in handler of save button

A spring tension rod is a certain type of rod that is used to create tension between a rod and the wall to which it is installed. It is comprised of two pieces that can be placed inside of one another and a coil spring which is placed inside the rod. When the two pieces get pressed against each other, tension is created and maintained by installing a screw.Continue Reading
Spring tension rods are used for certain types of fixtures that need to be placed in tight spots. Spring tension rods are commonly found as parts of a shower curtain, or in the installation of certain types of window curtains. Generally, they are used when the material they need to support is light. Heavier objects, when draped over a spring tension rod, can overpower the tension and cause the rod to fall.
Often spring tension rods are used to hold up a curtain without doing damage to the walls. Since a curtain is lightweight, the simple tension provided by the coil inside of the rod is enough to keep it up. Sometimes spring tension coils are used inside of other types of rods, such as those found within closets. Because they are adjustable, these rods can fit in different types of rooms or areas.Learn more about Decor

How do __hash__ and __eq__ use in identification in sets? For example some code that should help to solve some domino puzzle:
class foo(object):
 def __init__(self, one, two):
 self.one = one
 self.two = two
 def __eq__(self,other):
 if (self.one == other.one) and (self.two == other.two): return True
 if (self.two == other.one) and (self.one == other.two): return True
 return False
 def __hash__(self):
 return hash(self.one + self.two)
s = set()
for i in range(7):
 for j in range(7):
len(s) // returns 28 Why?
If i use only __eq__() len(s) equals 49. Its ok because as i understand objects (1-2 and 2-1 for example) not same, but represent same domino. So I have added hash function.
Now it works the way i want, but i did not understand one thing: hash of 1-3 and 2-2 should be same so they should counted like same object and shouldn't added to set. But they do! Im stuck.

Equality for dict/set purposes depends on equality as defined by __eq__. However, it is required that objects that compare equal have the same hash value, and that is why you need __hash__. See this question for some similar discussion.
The hash itself does not determine whether two objects count as the same in dictionaries. The hash is like a "shortcut" that only works one way: if two objects have different hashes, they are definitely not equal; but if they have the same hash, they still might not be equal.
In your example, you defined __hash__ and __eq__ to do different things. The hash depends only on the sum of the numbers on the domino, but the equality depends on both individual numbers (in order). This is legal, since it is still the case that equal dominoes have equal hashes. However, like I said above, it doesn't mean that equal-sum dominoes will be considered equal. Some unequal dominoes will still have equal hashes. But equality is still determined by __eq__, and __eq__ still looks at both numbers, in order, so that's what determines whether they are equal.
It seems to me that the appropriate thing to do in your case is to define both __hash__ and __eq__ to depend on the ordered pair --- that is, first compare the greater of the two numbers, then compare the lesser. This will mean that 2-1 and 1-2 will be considered the same.

Still not all clear. It stop work if i comment __hash__ or __eq__. And I still dont know why it works now. Is it uses both __eq__ and __hash__ to determin in? I hoped someone can tell me how this comparison works. Something about if hash1 == hash2 and if (eq) and so on... – Александр Зотов Jan 16 '13 at 7:52
_USER_ Зотов: You'll need to be more specific than that. Did you read the question I linked to? What is it that remains unclear? – BrenBarn Jan 16 '13 at 7:53

The hash is only a hint to help Python arrange the objects. When looking for some object foo in a set, it still has to check each object in the set with the same hash as foo.
It's like having a bookshelf for every letter of the alphabet. Say you want to add a new book to your collection, only if you don't have a copy of it already; you'd first go to the shelf for the appropriate letter. But then you have to look at each book on the shelf and compare it to the one in your hand, to see if it's the same. You wouldn't discard the new book just because there's something already on the shelf.
If you want to use some other value to filter out "duplicates", then use a dict that maps the domino's total value to the first domino you saw. Don't subvert builtin Python behavior to mean something entirely different. (As you've discovered, it doesn't work in this case, anyway.)

You can read about this in the Python data model documentation, but the short answer is that you can rewrite your hash function as:
def __hash__(self):
 return hash(tuple(sorted((self.one, self.two))))

this would get him further from what he wants; 1 2 and 2 1 would once again count as the same domino. but he should be doing this anyway, yes. :) – Eevee Jan 16 '13 at 6:35

The requirement for hash functions is that if x == y for two values, then hash(x) == hash(y). The reverse need not be true.
You can easily see why this is the case by considering hashing of strings. Lets say that hash(str) returns a 32-bit number, and we are hashing strings longer than 4 characters long (i.e. contain more than 32 bits). There are more possible strings than there are possible hash values, so some non-equal strings must share the same hash (this is an application of the pigeonhole principle).
Python sets are implemented as hash tables. When checking whether an object is a member of the set, it will call its hash function and use the result to pick a bucket, and then use the equality operator to see if it matches any of the items in the bucket.
With your implementation, the 2-2 and 1-3 dominoes will end up in the hash bucket, but they don't compare equal. Therefore, the both can be added to the set.

Gauging Plant Health and Happiness1 week ago -
Comparing and contrasting are key when determining if a plant is growing to its full potential.
"The ability to detect or gauge plant health is a skill that takes time and experience to develop," explains Robert Spencer, commercial horticultural specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre. "It is a bit of an art form, combined with varying depths of science to back it up."
Spencer says that at the heart of any diagnosis is a clear understanding and picture of what the plant or crop is "supposed" to look like. "It is a simple contrast and comparison between the mental picture and what is right in front of us."
He notes that there are many variables to consider when determining whether a plant is achieving its full potential. "Many of these require a deeper dive into the nuances and variations and can be entirely subjective."
These comparisons include:
- Plant vigour
- Plant size
- Leaf colour
- Plant shape
- Amount of root growth and perhaps the colour of the roots
- Amount of flowering
- Uniformity of the entire plant, leaves, stems, flowers, etc.
- Evidence of lesions, spots, stripes, pustules, flecks, pinholes, or any number of other symptoms and signs of infection or infestation
"Diagnosing plant health is very much a subjective, comparative process, where one attempts to judge whether the plant being examined is performing as well as it could, versus the other plants surrounding the one being examined," he adds.
Go to Diagnosing plant problems for a list of questions that producers can use to narrow down variables that can affect a plant's growth.

Attaching of shifting cables to Aeroad CF frame
The bowden cables of the Aeroad CF are routed inside the frame. This reduces the air drag and the cables are covered from water and dirt. This is how you route the cables inside the frame:
1. The Aeroad CF has built in Liner (long thin plastic tubes). These liners facilitate the routing of the cables inside the frame. They are only to be used to route cables, they do not replace GoreTex cable housings. One bowden cable runs from the left shift lever to the right side of the down tube and the cable of the right shift lever runs to the left side of the down tube.
2. Push the bowden cables through the appropriate liner. Both cables cross inside the down tube. The cable exits the bottom bracket on the side of chainwheel. The cable for the front derailleur exits on the other side of the bottom bracket.
3. Pull both liners out of the down tube. You should keep the liner.
4. Thread the cable through the cable guide fixed underneath the bottom bracket.
5. Now you push the bowden cable for the rear derailleur through the liner inside the chainstay.
6. Pull the liner out of the chainstay. Attach the cable to the rear derailleur.

Side Effects of Baytril: What You Need to Know.
September 5, 2013
"Side Effects of Baytril: What You Need to Know"
As is known about the famous medication, Baytril for Dogs, this antibiotic is the ideal solution to most of the infections that tend to affect your darling pets. Believe it or not but the medicine is used to treat a number of afflictions that affect the respiratory, urinary and digestive systems of your pet dogs. Apart from this Baytril is also used to treat open wounds since it kills pathogens that infect the wounds. Baytril antibiotic basically belongs to the family of fluoroquinolones and is very effective against a number of diseases however it is a chemical none the less that requires first hand prescription.
Side Effects of Baytril for Dogs
 1. Digestion: Some of the common side effects of an antibiotic that you can observe are the lack of hunger, vomiting and nausea. There is irregular bowel movements, prolonged diarrhea, additional upset stomach which consists of a diminished appetite. In case Baytril side effects of dogs are very frequent then you should get your animal checked at the vet.
 2. Fatigue: Dogs that are treated with Baytril antibiotic often suffer from exhaustion leading to excessive hours of sleep. This unusual fatigue witnessed is another one of Baytril side effects of dogs due to which your pet will sleep for longer durations. There is less interest or enthusiasm for fun and games which is rare in case of hyper animals.
 3. Nervous System: One of the most severe Baytril side effects of dogs is the impact of seizures. There is great imbalance in the body language of your pet dog which reflects poor coordination of muscles and brain cells. Involuntary spasms should be expected in case you've given your dog Baytril antibiotics.
 4. Cartilage Lesions: One of the general symptoms often seen while using Baytril for Dogs is the impairment of joint cartilages. The cartilage is a part of the body which happens to be fleshy, tough and a protective sheathe around the joints. It controls flexibility in the animal however cartilage lesion leads to body pain, swelling of joints and affects walking capacity of the animal.baytril for dogs16
 5. Optical Senses: A major symptom you'll come across while discussing the side effects of Baytril for Dogs is the loss of vision. Rare as it is, this particular symptom affects cats mostly and decreases the optical sensory cells due to which muscle coordination diminishes. This leads to either complete loss of vision or temporary impairment. It may also reduce the animal's capacity to concentrate and can affect their instinctive abilities.
If you're administering your pet dog with Baytril then there are certain safety precautions you should follow. By going to a vet and getting a prescribed document for purchasing the right dosage is very necessary if you don't want your animal to suffer from chronic disorders in the future. Baytril is highly effective so long as you use it in the right manner!

Mapping MATLAB Types to Types in Generated Code
The code generator produces data types in C/C++ that correspond to the data types that you use in your MATLAB® code. The data types that are generated depend on the target platform and compiler. The code generator can produce either built-in C data types, such as short, long, int, and so on, or custom data types defined by using C typedef statements. By default, the code generator produces built-in types for standalone code (lib, dll, or exe) and custom types for MEX code. To use built-in C types, modify the DataTypeReplacement property of the code generation configuration object or use the MATLAB Coder™ App. For more information, see Specify Data Types Used in Generated Code.
To produce custom C/C++ types, the code generator uses predefined data types in the header file tmwtypes.h, located in fullfile(matlabroot,'extern','include'). The code generator can also produce custom data types based on analysis of your MATLAB code. Custom data types are defined in the files rtwtypes.h and myFunction_types.h located in the code generation directory. myFunction is the name of your top-level function. The code generator cannot produce code for every data type that exists within MATLAB. See MATLAB Language Features Supported for C/C++ Code Generation.
When you do not use built-in C data types, the code generator produces these data types:
MATLAB Data TypeCorresponding Custom C/C++ Data Type
complexSee Complex Types.
structSee Structure Types.
fiSee Fixed-Point Types.
When a variable is passed by reference, the corresponding custom data type uses the dereference operator. For example, the corresponding custom C/C++ data type for int8 when passed by reference is int8_T*.
Dynamically allocated arrays map to a custom emxArray_ type. For example, a dynamically allocated char array maps to a type of emxArray_char_T. A dynamically allocated double array maps to the type emxArray_real_T. Dynamic allocation occurs, for example, when array size is not known at compile time or when you create a variable-size array by using coder.varsize without specifying explicit upper bounds. For more information on variable-size arrays, see Use C Arrays in the Generated Function Interfaces.
Complex Types
In MATLAB, complexity is defined as a property of a data type. This table lists the predefined data types that the code generator uses for MATLAB complex data types.
MATLAB Complex Data TypeCorresponding Custom C/C++ Data Type
The code generator defines each complex value as a structure with a real component re and an imaginary component im. For example, see the typedef for creal32_T from tmwtypes.h:
typedef struct {
 real32_T re;/* Real component*/
 real32_T im;/* Imaginary component*/
} creal32_T;
Suppose you define a variable x of type creal32_T. The generated code accesses the real component as and the imaginary component as
If your C/C++ library requires a different representation, you can define your own versions of MATLAB Coder complex types, for example, by using coder.cstructname. However, you must use the names re for the real components and im for the imaginary components in your definitions.
For more information, see Code Generation for Complex Data.
Structure Types
MATLAB Coder maps structures to C/C++ types field-by-field. The order of the structure fields in the MATLAB definition is preserved. To control the name of the generated C/C++ structure type, or provide a definition, use the coder.cstructname function. If you are not using dynamic memory allocation, arrays in structures translate into single-dimension arrays, not pointers. For more information, see Structures.
Fixed-Point Types
The numerictype properties of a fi object determine its C/C++ data type. By default, the code generator tries to use built-in C/C++ types. However, you can choose to use custom C/C++ data types instead. The following table shows how the Signedness, WordLength, and FractionLength properties determine the custom C/C++ data type. The custom C/C++ data type is the next larger target word size that can store the fixed-point value, based on its word length. The sign of the integer type matches the sign of the fixed-point type.
SignednessWord LengthFraction LengthCorresponding Custom C/C++ Data Type
1 1310int16_T
Character Vectors
The MATLAB Coder software maps MATLAB character vectors to C/C++ character arrays. These character arrays are not C/C++ strings because they are not null-terminated. If you pass a MATLAB character vector to external C/C++ code that expects a C/C++ string, the generated C/C++ character array must be null-terminated. To generate a null-terminated C/C++ character array, append a zero to the end of the MATLAB character vector. For example, ['sample text' 0]. Otherwise, generated code that expects a string can stop working without compiler errors or warnings.
Multiword Types
Multiword types are custom types that are generated when the target hardware cannot store your MATLAB data type in a built-in C/C++ type. Multiword types are generated as C/C++ structure types that contain an array of integers. The array dimensions depend on the size of the widest integer type on the target hardware.
For example, for a 128-bit fixed-point type, if the widest integer type on the target hardware is 32-bits, the software generates a structure with an array of four 32-bit integers.
typedef struct
 unsigned int chunks[4];
} uint128m_T;
If the widest integer type on the target hardware is a long with a size of 64-bits, the code generator produces a structure with an array of two 64-bit long types.
typedef struct
 unsigned long chunks[2];
} uint128m_T;
The C/C++ data type generated from a 64-bit integer MATLAB type depends on the sizes of the integer types on the target hardware. If a built-in type wide enough to store 64-bits does not exist, then the 64-bit MATLAB Coder type maps to a custom multiword type.

If you are new to caring bearded dragons, irregular pooping schedules will most likely worry you especially if you don't know what is going on.
Differing pooping schedule and pooping rates can be normal to some extent. But for some instances though, changes in pooping frequency may indicate potential problems.
So, how often do bearded dragons poop?
The answer to this question may significantly vary depending on the bearded dragon's age, diet, and size. Younger bearded dragons tend to poop more frequently than adults. However, the bearded dragons in general, poop 1-7 times a week.
It is also important to note that apart from age, diet, and size, health problems could also potentially affect the pooping frequency of your bearded dragon.
Sickness will only negatively affect the pooping frequency but also the color and texture of the poop. If you notice these changes in your bearded dragon's poop, you better investigate what is going on.

Comparison between Juvenile and Adult Bearded Dragon Bowel Movements
As mentioned, juvenile bearded dragons tend to poop more frequently than adults. Juveniles poop at least once to thrice a day in their healthy state.
This frequency happens in normal health conditions. But if your bearded dragon is suffering from health issues, these numbers may vary.
Adult bearded dragons, on the other hand, may poop once to seven times a week. They are far less frequent compared to their younger counterparts.
The pooping frequency difference between the young and adult bearded dragons is due to the amount of food they are eating.
The reason why juvenile bearded dragons tend to poop more frequently is that they eat more than their adult counterparts. This is because more food is required for its speedy growth.
Younger bearded dragons do not just eat random food. But they like foods that are rich in protein. This is the main reason why a juvenile bearded dragon eats more bugs than vegetables to get their protein needs. The more bugs they eat, the more frequently they will likely to poop.
Nonetheless, you should ensure that your bearded dragon gets a proper and balanced diet. They also need green leafy vegetables.

In some cases though, juvenile bearded dragons may poop more than 1-3 times a day. There are many factors that could affect the pooping frequency. Genetics and health issues are some of them.
As the bearded dragons grow older, they will eat less and therefore poops less. The amount of protein they consume will also decrease. This is because they have achieved their growth plateau. So they don't need as much protein as they used to.
In normal situations, adult bearded dragons poop once a day to once a week. These numbers though can vary depending on many factors.
While less frequent pooping schedule in adult bearded dragons is normal, far less frequent pooping schedule may be a sign of potential problems that you need to attend to immediately.
What I mean by this is that, if your bearded dragon won't poop for more than a week or so, something wrong is going on. Constipation can be one of the issues. But certainly, there are other more serious physical problems.
Bearded Dragons' Bowel Movements Potential Problems
Like humans, bearded dragons can also suffer from many bowel movement problems. The common issues are constipation and diarrhea.
But unlike humans, lizards cannot tell you what's going on. They won't tell you what is painful in their body. Your only way to notice their health problems is by paying attention to their bowel movements.
One of the common reasons for constipation and diarrhea is stress. And some of the most common stressors are extreme temperatures (low or high), changes in set up, low humidity, not enough space to roam around, etc.
If you made changes to their tank, or you moved to a new house, this could potentially cause stress to your bearded dragon. You'll notice afterward that your bearded dragons won't eat as they used to.
This is a normal reaction though. As your bearded dragons get used to the changes, they will recover and their diet will go back to normal.
Less amount of food could also cause stress to your lizards. It is important for them to have a balanced diet between greens, bugs, and worms. Be aware too that these foods have a certain effect on their bowel movements. Foods should be balanced.
If your bearded dragon is suffering from constipation, there are some basic steps to help your lizard get back to normal pooping.
Quick Note: If your bearded dragon won't poop for weeks, please consult a vet. Something must be wrong. Don't wait any longer because your bearded dragon may have suffered from a more serious problem.
Steps to Help Your Bearded Dragons Recover from Constipation
1. Give them enough water
This sounds basic, but most of the time we tend to forget it. I am guilty of this sometimes. It is important to remember that water is essential for regular and healthy bowel movements. So give them enough water to drink for the entire day.
When giving water, do not just put it in the bowl. Bearded dragons don't drink much in stagnant water. They like running water to drink from. A fountain is great for your lizards.
2. Set the tank properly
Stress can also be the result of inadequate habitat which in turn causes constipation in your bearded dragons. So give your lizard livable environment.
3. Give them appropriate diet
Giving your bearded dragons more greens and calcium will help them poop. Greens will speed up the bowel movements of your bearded dragons.
4. Give them a few drops of olive oil
Another quick way to stop constipation is to give your bearded dragons a few drops of olive oil. I want to emphasize here that there should be no other types of oil to use. Just olive oil. Some people recommend vegetable oil. However, I don't use it for my bearded dragons.
5. Give them a warm bath
Bathing, especially in warm water, could also help your bearded dragon poop. Water will trigger pooping.
What Does Bearded Dragon's Color Mean?
You probably notice that your bearded dragons' poops have varying colors. Each color may indicate the health of your lizards.
The following are the common poop colors and their implications:
- Brown or white usually suggests that your bearded dragon is in normal health condition. The color like this is the result of the combination of urate and poop.
- Green means that your bearded dragons have eaten more vegetables.
- Red could mean a normal health condition if only occasionally. However, if this is frequent, it may be a sign of impaction or constipation.
- Black can be a sign of more serious health issues. In some instances, it may be the result of internal bleeding. I suggest that you consult a vet to correctly diagnose the problem.
- Yellow may suggest that your bearded dragons are consuming a lot of calcium-rich foods. You can fix this by simply reducing the amount of calcium in their diet.
- Brown with white spots or lines usually the outcome of the combination of urate and poop. Sometimes it could also result from having parasite, especially tapeworm. If there's no tapeworm, then it is probably normal.

If you have an adult bearded dragon, you normally see green poops in them. This is because most adult bearded dragons tend to eat more green leafy vegetables. So this is normal unless you see unusual consistencies in their poops.
It is important to remember that food is the most determinant of the poop color. So before you get panic, check the diet of your bearded dragon first. This should help you determine what is causing the changes in the poop color.

The International Consortium on Closing Civic Space (iCon)
The Human Rights Initiative (HRI) at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) created an international consortium (iCon) of scholars and experts from around the world to conduct research and develop concrete recommendations on how best to address and push back on closing space around civil society. The ultimate goal of iCon is to develop evidence-based solutions that enhance the resilience and sustainability of civil society and broaden constituencies for human rights.
iCon fills existing gaps in the current response to closing space by exploring legal and non-legal strategies that can and should be used to counter closing space. iCon members conduct research that is not only rigorous and academically informed but also relevant for policymakers. Moreover, this effort incorporates the voices and reflects the experiences of civil society, particularly those human rights and social justice groups that are under pressure.
This brief consolidates key lessons and recommendations from several years of research conducted by the CSIS International Consortium on Closing Civic Space (iCon) regarding how civil society can respond to narrowing civic space.
This report maps out three global initiatives that have emerged in response to closing civic space with the goal of keeping the space open, highlighting good practice and lessons learned.
Eight well-respected international organizations serve as an Advisory Group to iCon. Members of the Advisory Group play an instrumental role in providing strategic guidance to CSIS on the work of iCon and on the overall direction of research. The Advisory Group also ensures that the research that is generated by iCon is transmitted to key constituencies around the world.

Reality and fantasy collide in this engrossing tale of two warring clans vying for power, prestige and the chance to influence the man who sits on the chrysanthemum throne. Setting her tale in Japan during the last days of the Heian period (roughly _PHONE_ C.E.), Dalkey (Blood of the Goddess) deftly uses her knowledge of Japanese culture, mannerisms and bloodthirsty politicking to chronicle the wars of rebellion and counter-rebellion that end in the death of the emperor and the rise of the first Japanese shogun. Two rival clans, the Taira and the Minamoto, clash numerous times over a period of 30 years, with each clan calling on the aid of demons or gods to gain superiority and power. Did demons and gods play a part in the brutal wars of competing emperors and the rise of the Japanese shogunate? Dalkey dramatizes the tantalizing possibilities of what might have been if they had. While she succeeds in bringing the history, customs and traditions of Japan to life, her many characters maintain a remoteness that will keep most readers from caring about any individual. In addition, the fantasy realm of the demons and gods that she posits is rather intangible and distant. But even so, the book, which reads more like a historical novel of political intrigue than a fantasy, boasts a strong story that holds the attention. (Feb. 12)

This paper reports the first electronic circuit used to measure MEMS resonator motion in the time domain. The measurement of shuttle position is made using a capacitance-to-voltage converter IC that has been developed by combining correlated double sampling with delta modulation in a fully differential circuit topology. This oversampling circuit may be adjusted to trade bandwidth (sample rate) for resolution, while reference level may be adjusted to set the desired sensitivity to accommodate a large range of capacitive sensor interface applications. For example, test results demonstrate a resolution of 170 aF for a signal bandwidth of 3 kHz, a 68-dB dynamic range, and nonlinearity less than 0.16%.

Predicted and Predictor Variables
By default, all quantitative variables are used for EM and regression estimation. If needed, you can choose specific variables as predicted and predictor variables in the estimation(s). A given variable can be in both lists, but there are situations in which you might want to restrict the use of a variable. For example, some analysts are uncomfortable estimating values of outcome variables. You may also want to use different variables for different estimations and run the procedure multiple times. For example, if you have a set of items that are nurses' ratings and another set that are doctors' ratings, you may want to make one run using the nurses' item to estimate missing nurses' items and another run for estimates of the doctors' items.
Another consideration arises when using the regression method. In multiple regression, the use of a large subset of independent variables can produce poorer predicted values than a smaller subset. Therefore, a variable must achieve an F-to-enter limit of 4.0 to be used. This limit can be changed with syntax.
To Specify Predicted and Predictor Variables
This feature requires the Missing Values option.
- From the
- In the main Missing Value Analysis dialog box, select the variable(s) for which you want to estimate missing values using the regression method.
- Select EM or Regression in the Estimation group.
- Click Variables.
- If you want to use specific rather than all variables as predicted and predictor variables, select Select variables and move variables to the appropriate list(s).

What is a Moc?
For more than a decade, this question has puzzled many fans and observers of Chattanooga Athletics.
The UTC Athletics Department changed logos in 1997, moving away from Native American imagery to a package of logos using railroad images, the nickname "Mocs," and the Scrappy mascot. The new package emphasized UTC's connection to Chattanooga and the city's railroad heritage and incorporated the Tennessee state bird.
The term "Moc" is short for "Mockingbird." Mockingbirds are fiercely territorial creatures which protect their homes with courage, determination and skill. Those attributes reflect the intellect, spirit and character of UTC student-athletes and alumni. A Moc is a champion on the playing surface, in the classroom and, most importantly, in life.
Named after legendary football coach A.C. "Scrappy" Moore, Scrappy, the Chattanooga mascot, is a fixture for the Mocs. A re-design in 2008 puts Scrappy in the image of the State Bird of Tennessee, a Mockingbird. The mockingbird is known as a fierce protector of its nest and environment. It is sometimes seen swooping down on a dog, cat or predator that may be venturing too close to the bird's protected territory. Once described by "Late Night" host Jimmy Fallon as "a sledge-hammer wielding mockingbird with a heart of Blue & Gold," Scrappy symbolizes that competitive passion.
Faced with politically sensitive issues and in need of a stronger core identity to help establish a strong brand as Chattanooga's Team, the athletics department embarked on a comprehensive identity program in 1996. A new direction for the athletics identity was determined, moving away from the politically incorrect Native American Indian imagery.
Several identities have been used in the past. With the old nickname "Moccasins," a snake was used in the 1920s and an Indian was used until the year of major change in 1996. A moccasin shoe was even used in the 1980s.
In 1996, it was decided to adopt the State Bird of Tennessee, the Mockingbird, as the core of the new identity, while incorporating the strong regional imagery of Chattanooga's vast railroad history. The mascot "Scrappy" was born and a new emphasis was placed on the athletics department's role in the region.
The committee also recognized the need for the word "Chattanooga" to have a great emphasis in the logo. The nickname "Moccasins" was shortened to simply "Mocs." Thus established, Chattanooga could rebuild its athletics programs and initiatives around this new identity.
And rebuild it did. Quickly establishing the identity program in February 1997, combined with tremendous success in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, UTC had positioned itself to reach for the next level.
From 1997 to 2007, the primary logo was the mascot, Scrappy, riding a train. The secondary logo features the front of a train with the word Mocs built into the logo. This logo is affectionately called the "Cowcatcher logo," referring to the front lower grill of the train that helped push objects from the train tracks.
In August 2007, officials at Chattanooga updated the school's marks. A new C logo, the "Power C" as it has become known to fans and alums, was created as the primary mark and is emblazoned on the side of the football team's helmets. The secondary marks were updated with a more modern look, and a new font, unique to the school, is now used on the text areas of the logos and marks.
In September 2008, Scrappy was re-branded to better match the image of a mockingbird and reflect the rich tradition of our state, our city and our University. New marks of the head as well as a full body were released. The program has also been taking special efforts to stay true to its color palette—which includes navy blue and old gold.

PyX — Example: drawing/arrow.py
Adding an arrow when stroking a path
from pyx import * c = canvas.canvas() c.stroke(path.curve(0, 0, 0, 4, 2, 4, 3, 3), [style.linewidth.THICK, style.linestyle.dashed, color.rgb.blue, deco.earrow([deco.stroked([color.rgb.red, style.linejoin.round]), deco.filled([color.rgb.green])], size=1)]) c.writeEPSfile("arrow") c.writePDFfile("arrow")
The example shows how to use an arrow decorator instance to add an arrow to a path when it is stroked. Instead of using a default arrow instance, we create a highly customized arrow head.
Apart from setting arrow specific features like the arrow size, a list of styles and decorators can be passed to the arrow. In this example, the arrow is stroked in red with round corners. In addition, the arrow is filled in green.
Note that style properties are inherited from the outer towards the inner decorators. In this example, the linewidth is also used when stroking the arrow head. We could for example also skip the color.rgb.green value in the
deco.filled decorator and the arrow would be filled in blue.
To continue removing the deco.filled features, it is equivalent to write
deco.filled. This is due to the fact that
deco.filled already is an instance, which can be modified by call. An empty list does not really modify it. But you could even skip
deco.filled completely and the arrow would still be filled with blue color. The reason is that the arrow is implemented in a way that it always merges the
filled decorator. This step in the evaluation of the attributes is transparent to other settings: if we would replace the
color.rgb.green, we would still get a filled green arrow. You could then remove the
deco.stroked inside of the arrow instance and the line would become green as well. Note that the order of the attributes is not important for this style delegation feature.
Since we have learned that the arrow decorators always fill the arrow head by default, the question is now whether and how such a feature can be removed. This is done by clear instances available as a
clear class attribute. Hence in case of
deco.filled, it is available as
deco.filled.clear. When you add this attribute to the earrow call, the arrowhead will not be filled anymore and you will notice that the blue line is not stroked inside the arrowhead.
You might also have noticed, that the dashed linestyle is not used when stroking the arrowhead. This is similar to the default
filled feature of the arrowhead: The arrowhead merges a
style.linestyle.normal to ensure a solid line. Instead of manually setting
style.linestyle.dashed in the arrowhead, you could use
style.linestyle.clear to restore the linestyle setting of the path.
The arrow head is a so-called ornament. Beside attaching stroke and fill styles during the process of converting a path into a decorated path, any number of ornaments can be added to the decorated path. When adding ornaments, parts of the path can also be marked as not-to-be-stroked. While this is taken into account in a final stroke operation, different decorators do not see this information such that decorators always commute.

Decode QR codes (and other 1D/2D barcode formats)
QRcode generation is well served in the Ruby community, but decoding seems to be stuck in the Java world. This is an attempt to bridge the gap by wrapping the ZXing library with JRuby. ZXing conveniently decodes a plethora of barcodes. Their site has a complete list.
gem install zxing
JRuby (tested with 1.5.6), OR
MRI (1.8.7 and 1.9.2) with jruby-jars gem
require 'zxing' # Pass a path to a file, and it will return the characters encoded within # the barcode image. For example, if a QRCode image has the text "QRcode # string" embedded: ZXing.decode '/Users/ecin/qrcode.png' #=> "QRcode string" # ZXing#decode_all returns an array of encoded values. For example if an # image has a barcode encoded with the value "test123" and another barcode # encoded with the value "test456": ZXing.decode_all 'image_with_multiple_barcodes.png' #=> ["test456", "test123"] # You can also decode a URL... ZXing.decode '_URL_ # or an instance of File ZXing.decode File.new('qrcode.png') # or anything that returns a URL or file path when _TAG_ is called on it. class Image attr_reader :path def initialize(path); _USER_ = path end end # ZXing#decode returns nil if it can't decode the image. ZXing.decode 'image_without_a_code.png' #=> nil # ZXing#decode! will raise an error if it can't decode the image. ZXing.decode! 'image_without_a_code.png' #=> raises ZXing::UndecodableError
A Decodable module is included (pun intended) to ease using the library with objects that return the URL or file path to decode when _TAG_ or _TAG_ is called.
require 'zxing/decodable' class File include Decodable end file = File.open('qrcode.png') file.decode

A couple of questions about custom layouts
I am trying to make a vocal score for this strange piece I'm writing.
my questions:
 1. is it possible to reorder the instruments only for a particular layout, and if so, how? (in this case, I want piano below the chorus in the vocal score, but not the full score).
 2. This piece involves looping, so some players actually are "playing" more than one instrument at a time. For instance, there's a piano part that is looped (digital piano), and then the player switches to bari sax. So they're both the same player, but I'd only like to have the piano appear in this layout and not the bari sax? Doable?
 3. The vocal section is relatively short, and at the end of a 9-minute movement. Is it possible for a layout to contain only an incomplete movement - a specified measure, range?
 1. Layout Options. Select the Vocal Score in the right panel, then go Players > Uses custom player order. Tick that, then move players up and down as you wish.
 2. Workarounds involve either using two separate players for piano and bari (this is by far the easiest), or copying/cueing everything from the piano into a separate piano player that only shows up in the vocal score.
 3. Not natively. Dump all multirests onto page 1, set page 2 to use the First Master Page, then throw in a text frame that explains where the chorus come in?
pianoleo you are my savior again - thank you!

Ordered Hashes in Ruby
Today, while playing a story in my web app development project, I felt the need to have an ordered hash in Ruby 1.8.7. Argh, this version of Ruby doesn't have ordered hash at all! Surprisingly enough, JRuby versions 1.3.1 or 1.5.1 preserves insertion order.
The way Ruby 1.8.7 hash behaves:
The way Ruby 1.9.1 hash behaves:
The way JRuby 1.3.1 hash behaves:
Coming back to our problem, how do I do have something like Ordered Hash data structure with Ruby 1.8.7? There are several libraries that either extend or replace Ruby's Hash. OrderedHash and RubyFacets being some of the famous ones. However, if you are developing a web application using Rails, then you have to search no where - just use Rails' ActiveSupport::OrderedHash. All you need to use it is
require 'active_support/ordered_hash' in your class/module
With Ruby 1.9, this wouldn't be a problem because Ruby 1.9 preserves the insertion order into the data structure. This only gives me foolish happiness for a second or two, after which my academic reasoning onsets bringing sinking unhappiness for the Ruby 1.9 preserving hash ordering by default. Should my prediction go right (or wish come true???) this will revert back to the way it was in Ruby 1.8.* and to solve this problem of having an ordered hash data structure, Ruby future version might have something like OrderedHash, the way Rails has one.
SIDE NOTE: A hash (table/map) is a data structure for storing items in key/value pairs using a hash function. Ideally, the hash function guarantees to map each key to a unique slot index. With this data structure, the average cost of lookup/insertion/deletion for an element remains constant irrespective of the number of elements that this data structure holds. Understandably for this reason this data structure is used in many softwares like databases, caches.

The leaky bucket algorithm is a method of temporarily storing a variable number of requests and organizing them into a set-rate output of packets in an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network.
The leaky bucket is used to implement traffic policing and traffic shaping in Ethernet and cellular data networks. The algorithm can also be used to control metered-bandwidth Internet connections to prevent going over the allotted bandwidth for a month, thereby avoiding extra charges.
The algorithm works similarly to the way an actual leaky bucket holds water: The leaky bucket takes data and collects it up to a maximum capacity. Data in the bucket is only released from the bucket at a set rate and size of packet. When the bucket runs out of data, the leaking stops. If incoming data would overfill the bucket, then the packet is considered to be non-conformant and is not added to the bucket. Data is added to the bucket as space becomes available for conforming packets.
The leaky bucket algorithm can also detect both gradually increasing and dramatic memory error increases by comparing how the average and peak data rates exceed set acceptable background amounts.
In a broader context, the leaky bucket is an analogy for describing how inputs and outputs work in a wide variety of business and technology systems.

RSA key generation is of great concern for implementation of RSA cryptosystem on embedded system due to its long processing latency. In this paper, a novel architecture is presented to provide high processing speed to RSA key generation for embedded platform with limited processing capacity. In order to exploit more data level parallelism, Residue Number System (RNS) is introduced to accelerate RSA key pair generation, in which these independent elements can be processed simultaneously. A cipher processor based on Transport Triggered Architecture (TTA) is proposed to realize the parallelism at the architecture level. In the meantime, division is avoided in the proposed architecture, which reduces the expense of hardware implementation remarkably.

All the 7 Rainbow colors representing each day of creation and when combined produce white color. It is a known fact that shining white light through a prism produces the rainbow colors. White signifies purity and goodness. No wonder on the 6th day, God declared that everything he has created during the 6 days of creation as very good and blessed it on the 7th day.
Genesia1:31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Genesis2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested [a] from all his work. 3 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

Abstract: The following study attempts to analyse an almost unknown aspect of Czechoslovakian-German relations during the so called "Second Republic" (October 1938 – March 1939), namely the railway traffic between the two countries. It is necessary to realize that railway traffic was the most common means of transport for both people and goods at this time and that it was in both countries' interests to keep it functioning. This paper focuses on the situations and problems that everyday passengers faced. Their experiences were the main factor on which public opinion of the railways was based. The contributory role of freight transport is also analysed in short because of its importance to the functioning of the economy. An important question, which this study attempts to answer as well, is the nature of relations between Czechoslovakian railway employees and their German counterparts. Did these relations copy those in "high politics" at the time? Or, could the professionals on both sides of the new borders cooperate to keep the traffic flowing? With the use of several examples, descriptions are given of experiences with colleagues on the other side of the border that were often positive and whereby both sides understood that it was necessary to keep the traffic flowing. Unfortunately, these efforts were on occasion disrupted by the decisions of political or military leaders.

Where the trees are naturally musical
For centuries, the spruces of the Violin's Forest have been used in the world's finest instruments
Geography and climate have conspired to produce extraordinary trees in the forests east of Predazzo. Managed for 900 years by the Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme, their timber resonates with an unusually clear and consistent tone, and they have inspired both instrument makers and musicians for centuries.
In winter, all forests feel magical. Hushed and white beneath their mantles of snow, they're beautiful places in which to strap on a pair of snowshoes, and go for a walk.
But for music lovers no forest is more bewitching than la Foresta dei Violini, just east of Paneveggio in the Val di Fiemme. Called, in English, the Violin's Forest, it was colonized long ago by red Italian spruces, and they grow straight and slow along its chilly and sheltered slopes. As a result, their wood is dense and consistent, and makes near-perfect soundboards for musical instruments. Stradivarius used it, and it's still sought after for the world's finest violins, cellos, pianos and guitars. In fact, 10% of the trees here are suitable for this sacred purpose, compared with an average of 0.8%.
The Violin's Forest is just east of the visitor centre of the Nature Park of Paneveggio–Pale di San Martino, which has a small museum dedicated to these musical trees. It also offers guided walks, where you'll learn about the history of the forest, and its careful management. It is, for example, thought that trees intended for soundboards are best harvested during a waning moon in early winter, so that there is less sap in the timber.
The more adventurous should also seek out il Bosco che Suona – "the Valley of Harmony" – which is a 5km walk from the car park at the Miola restaurant, in the Valmaggiore. Here too there is a near-perfect micro-climate for musical trees, and in a remarkable new project, musicians are being invited to adopt a tree, and play a piece of music inspired by it. Download the app "Il Bosco che Suona", on Google Play before you go, and you can listen to the results as you walk through the forest.


Post-COVID Background Checks in Child Care Facilities
As a background check service provider, your responsibility is not just about offering data to organizations. It's about enabling them to reduce risks such as high insurance premiums, absenteeism, employee turnover, theft, accidents, and decreased productivity with the aim of protecting the company, its employees, and customers.
This is why it is crucial that your wholesale employment screening data provider takes note of emerging risks and collects the relevant data. At present, COVID-19 highlights the need to have an exemplary wholesale employee screening solutions partner with COVID-regulated data for child care.
As companies continue to resume operations and recalling staff, parents will need a safe environment to leave their children. Though there are child care facilities, they have been forced to operate below capacity due to social distancing regulations, resulting in limited options. This is especially so in urban areas where space was limited in the first place.
Also, amidst this pandemic, it's not just about finding a child care center for children but finding one where the necessary preventive and precautionary measures for COVID are implemented. This calls for child care facilities with responsible and reliable staff. As a result, there is a greater need to access reliable wholesale employment screening data to meet your clients' needs.
Why Demand for Child Care Facility Employment Screening Is Going Up
Based on present circumstances, it is highly likely that children will remain home beyond summer. In this case, the usual capacity within child care facilities will be unable to satisfy the demand. This has been highlighted in different states that had to pass special child care regulations for the COVID period.
One such regulation is the reservation of child care facilities for essential service providers. This includes law enforcement personnel and medical staff. As organizations recall staff back to work, they're being forced to address the challenges they face with childcare.
At first, employees reported to work in shifts to ensure that they can take care of their children. However, with this not being a desirable operation mode, companies are now creating in-facility child care centers for their staff.
To ensure the children's safety and resolve any concerns their employees may have, your wholesale employment screening partner should provide you with the relevant data.
Federal Law
Other than ensuring children's safety, new child care centers need to conduct background checks on employees in order to be compliant with the law. Under federal law, all state and federal criminal background checks must be implemented on child care providers by the state.
During screening, child care personnel are subjected to fingerprint checks on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) database. This is to ensure that staff do not have a criminal history and are not a danger to children's health and safety.
Information on final dispositions for arrests on a person's rap sheet is not included in the FBI database. Therefore, your wholesale employment screening partner should provide you with data for local misdemeanors and felonies as you run checks on prospective hires for child care centers. Other areas to assist child care facilities as a background screening company is checking whether potential employees have a history of child neglect, abuse, or sexual offenses.
Screening is not limited to staff alone but should also include all adults who may have unsupervised access to children, including part-time employees, guests, and volunteers.
Why a Reliable Wholesale Employment Screening Partner Is Especially Important During the Covid-19 Pandemic
As new child care centers begin operations, employees are not only required to be conversant with child care but also COVID regulations. They need to ensure all children are screened upon entry, social distancing is observed, masks are worn, and proper sanitation practices maintained. This requires highly competent and responsible employees.

List of Boxing Statistics
List of Boxing Statistics
In boxing there are a variety of different statistics used to keep track of the skill and abilities of boxers. There are statistics for fouls, a boxer's record, and the decision of a boxing match. Below are some of the statistics and the meanings behind them.

A knockout in boxing occurs when a boxer is hit by the opponent and isn't able to stand on their feet after the referee counts to ten.
This is a statistic in boxing where it keeps track of the boxer's record. It will go in order of their wins, losses, draws, and no decisions. Typically this is an important statistic because it helps boxers to understand where they rank against others.
Points are a statistic that is awarded to a boxer from a single judge.
In boxing, a streak is a statistic that keeps track of how many matches a boxer has won or lost in a row.
A disqualification in boxing is when a boxer has committed several fouls, a major infringement, or is not following the rules.
A Technical Knockout occurs when the fight is stopped for reasons outside of the norm (a knockout, a round being over, etc.). Instead, the referee or doctor decides that the match needs to be stopped.
This is a statistic of boxing that occurs when an opponent is struck by their opponent and their knee or glove touches the mat.
This is a statistic in boxing that occurs when a boxer breaks the rules of boxing. If rules are repeatedly being broken in a match, it can lead to a boxer's points being deducted.
Beaten Opponents
This statistic shows how many opponents a boxer has beaten.
This statistic shows how many fights a boxer has been in.
Beaten Champions
This statistic shows how many opponents a boxer has beaten that have been highly ranked or that have been champions for their weight class.
Unanimous decision in boxing is when all of the judges decide the same boxer wins the match.
Split Decision in boxing occurs when one judge believes one boxer won, but two judges thought the other boxer won.
Majority Decision in boxing is when one of the judges saw neither of the boxers win, but 2 of the judges saw one boxer win.
Technical Decision is a statistic in boxing where an accidental foul has been committed. This causes the fight to be paused. If there are at least four rounds that have been completed, the boxer who has the most points from the judges will be declared the winner. On the other hand, if the both boxers have the same amount of points after four rounds, then the match is concluded as a technical draw. But, if four rounds have not been completed, then the match is concluded as a no decision.
No Decision in boxing can also be called no contest. This statistic occurs when a fight is wiped off the record. This occurs in unusual circumstances such as when a boxer isn't following the rules, police get involved, or there is bad weather.
Referee Technical Decision is a statistic in boxing where a boxer typically decides in-between rounds that they no longer want to continue the fight. This can occur if the boxer doesn't have a desire to compete or it is decided that their safety is at risk.
A draw in boxing is when there is no winner; it can be compared to a tie. There are several types of draw. One can occur when all the judges think it is a draw between the boxers, and another is when all of the judges conclude to different outcomes (win, loss, and draw). Lastly, there is another kind of draw, and is called a majority draw. There are two ways this could happen. For one of them, it can occur when two judges decide there is a draw and one judge decides there is a win. For the other majority draw, two of the judges would decide there is a draw, and one judge would decide it is a loss.
This is a statistic in boxing where a boxer outscores his opponent. This can happen due to the individual landing more punches or blows against the opponent.
Weight is a statistic in boxing that helps determine the weight classes. When two boxers compete against each other they have to be in the same weight class. There is minimum weights (105 pounds), light flyweight (108 pounds), flyweight (112 pounds), super flyweight (115 pounds), bantamweight (118 pounds), super bantamweight (122 pounds), featherweight (126 pounds), super featherweight (130 pounds), lightweight (135 pounds), super lightweight (140 pounds), welterweight (147 pounds), super welterweight (154 pounds), middleweight (160 pounds), super middleweight (168 pounds), light heavyweight (175 pounds), cruiserweight (200 pounds), and heavyweight which there is no limit to the weight.
Punch Totals
This statistic keeps track of the total number of punches thrown by the boxer. This statistic isn't used very often, but it is important to know the average of punches thrown for each match.
Power Shots Landed
This statistic is used in boxing to calculate the power shots that are thrown by a boxer. This statistic helps to separate the punches that add to the boxer's points from jabs.
Percent Landed
This statistic records the amount of punches that have accurately hit their opponent. It measures the punching accuracy and punches that have resulted in scoring opportunities.

There are two statements about the grassmannian (of complex k-planes in n-space embedded via Plucker coordinates) that I have encountered in several places never accompanied with a proof or reference.
 - The topology inherited from projective space coincides with the Zariski topology.
 - The map from the Chow ring to the cohomology ring is an isomorphism.
I'm looking for nice explanations of these two facts.
EDIT: by the topology inherited from projective space I do not mean the Zariski topology, but the classical topology (given by balls in the Euclidean metric on the affine space from which we construct projective space, say). Since I have no intuition for the Zariski topology in this embedding, I'm not even sure I've got the statement correct: one place where it occurs is on page 147 in Fulton's Young tableaux book.
EDIT 2: I have gotten it wrong; Fulton claims only that the Zariski closures of the open cells equal their classical closures. But he also calls it a general fact. I guess the proper version of my first question should be: why are the Zariski closures of the open schubert cells equal to their classical closures in the Pluecker embedding, and is there a general fact from which this follows?

The topology inherited from what topology on the projective space? – Mariano Suárez-Alvarez Apr 3 '14 at 18:43
The classical topology on projective space does not induce the Zariski topology on the Grassmannian; it induces the classical topology on the Grassmannian. Many topological statements about the Grassmannian are true for both choices of topology because in practice, most of arguments involving open sets in the classical topology can be made using only open sets from the Zariski topology. – Michael Joyce Apr 3 '14 at 19:41
I updated my answer. – Dan Petersen Apr 3 '14 at 19:50

$\!$Hej Erik! Your first question asks why an open Schubert cell has the same closure both in the Zariski and in the classical topology. This is the same as asking why the closure of a cell is a closed subvariety. But each cell is defined by a collection of polynomial equations ($f = 0$) and inequations ($f \neq 0$), and it's easy to check that the closure in the classical topology is obtained by just discarding the inequations. Then it's clear that the closure is a subvariety.
For your second question, this follows because Grassmannians admit an algebraic cell decomposition (i.e. they are the disjoint union of locally closed subvarieties isomorphic to some $\mathbf C^d$), the Schubert cell decomposition. See this question: For which varieties is the natural map from the Chow ring to integral cohomology an isomorphism? and the reference to Fulton's book in Donu Arapura's answer.

Probably the OP is asking why the Pluecker map is a closed immersion, in particular, why it is a homeomorphism from the domain to the image. – Jason Starr Apr 3 '14 at 19:09

text: This paper reports a study investigating the relationship between Internet identification, Internet anxiety and Internet use. The participants were 446 students (319 females and 127 males) from two universities in the UK and one university in Australia. Measures of Internet identification and Internet anxiety were developed. The majority of participants were NOT anxious about using the Internet, although there were approximately 8% who showed evidence of Internet anxiety. There was a significant and negative relationship between Internet anxiety and Internet use. Those who were more anxious about using the Internet used the Internet less, although the magnitude of effect was small. There was a positive and significant relationship between Internet use and Internet identification. Those who scored high on the measure of Internet identification used the Internet more than those who did not. There was also a significant and negative relationship between Internet anxiety and Internet identification. Finally, males had a significantly higher Internet identification score than females. Implications of these findings are discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Export Import Scenarios
You are here: Administrators Reference > Exporting and Importing Objects > Export/Import Scenarios
Export/Import Scenarios
In a typical Development server - Authoring server environment you:
 1. Create and test an object on a Development Server.
 2. Export the object.
 3. Import the object to the Authoring Server.
Later, if you change the original object and want to push changes to the site(s) using your object, you would:
 1. Re-export the object from the Development Server
 2. Re-import the object into the sites on your Authoring Server where the object was originally imported.
You might also want to use an object developed by a third-party. In that case, you would:
 1. Download the export packet from the third-party.
 2. Import the object into the desired site(s) on your Development Server.
 3. Test the object.
 4. Import the object into the desired site(s) on your Authoring Server.
Before importing or exporting, please note the following:
ADF (Application Development Framework) Considerations: When importing a Custom Element that includes custom field types or render handlers housed within the ADF, CommonSpot checks to see if the ADF is installed and stops the import if it does not find it. If you are using the CommonSpot Application Development Framework, check that both your web server mapping and the ADF directory are named ADF (all caps).
Path Considerations: Although you can specify any logical path for render handler modules, and export them or Custom Elements containing them to any logical server path, CommonSpot expects import modules to contain site-relative path locations and cannnot properly handle import packets unless the file references they contain are site-relative.

The Introvert Writer's Guide to Promoting Freelance Services

Published Oct 29, 2018
Many writers are introverts. And introverts make up 47 to 55 percent of the population. However, since most modern societies appreciate extroverts' traits more, namely aiming for the limelight and being outspoken, introverts must learn to navigate the world in order to succeed.
In this article, we'll discuss what being an introvert means and how an introverted writer can effectively promote freelance services without having to "pretend" to be an extrovert.
 1. Background
 2. First Things First: Understand the Strengths of Introverts
 3. Second, Recognize Your Strengths as a Writer
 4. Third, Set Up an Online Portfolio
 5. Fourth, Revise Your LinkedIn Profile
 6. Fifth, Develop Several Query Templates
 7. Sixth, Automate Your Business
 8. Conclusion
According to C.G. Jung, there are two significant types of personality: extroverts and introverts. The primary difference between the two is the source of their mental energy. Extroverts tend to be energized by social interaction, while introverts recharge their energy through solitude, tranquillity, and reflection.
This being said, their communication styles also differ. Extroverts are likely to be outspoken and decisive, while introverts are more reserved and tend to think before they speak.
Introverts are often misunderstood as being shy, which is actually a myth. Shyness is about fear and social anxiety, not about the source of inner energy. This explains why many public figures, including those whose jobs involve communicating with crowds, are introverts.
In other words, not all introverts are shy and not all shy people are introverts.
Now, if you're an introverted freelance writer, how can you grow your writing business? Because, most likely, you aren't that keen on going to business functions to introduce yourself while smiling from ear to ear and handing out your business card.
First Things First: Understand the Strengths of Introverts
Introverts often express themselves best through writing. That's because writing gives them the opportunity to analyze, edit, revise, and rewrite their thoughts before sharing them.
Of course, the level of "appropriateness" is relative from one introvert to another. According to MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), there are at least 8 types of introverts: ISTJ, ISFJ, INFJ, INTJ, ISTP, ISFP, INFP, and INTP. Each type comes with its strengths, weaknesses, and characteristics that determine how they think, feel, make decisions, communicate, and build relationships with others.
Writing also allows introverts to communicate clearly without the pressure of face-to-face interaction. How an introvert's brain works is itself an advantage, as it enables the writer to be comprehensive in observation and expression.
Second, Recognize Your Strengths as a Writer
What are your strengths as a writer? They can be related to the genre, the subject, the topic, the angle, the viewpoint, or anything else. Perhaps you have impeccable grammar and an advanced vocabulary. Or, you can turn complex ideas into simple step-by-step explanations.
Whatever they are, show them off in your work. Always project the real you and your strengths in writing. After all, when you're comfortable with yourself, it shows in your writing and communication.
Third, Set Up an Online Portfolio
Create a simple website that showcases your writing portfolio. Remember to include live links to articles, e-books, or white papers, so they can be easily found, clicked, and read. Include a photo of yourself and a few paragraphs of your biography so your readers can learn more about you.
The key is to make your portfolio professional and up-to-date while reflecting your own individuality as a creative person. A good online portfolio can act as your 24/7/365 salesperson. Thus, it's crucial to design it well with clear navigation and simplicity.
Fourth, Revise Your LinkedIn Profile
Treat your LinkedIn profile as a second online portfolio. It's as essential as your writer's site. Storify the summary, expand each job description in a way that quantifies the workload, milestones, and achievements, while at the same time project your kindness as a human being. (This is actually an introvert's strength, as we tend to reflect, analyze, and present information in a well-structured format.)
You can earn an "All Star" profile if you include and update information on each sub-header, such as experience, education, volunteer experience, skills and endorsements, recommendations, accomplishments, and interests.
"All Star" profiles are likely to show up in search results, which can open up plenty of new and exciting opportunities. Also, make sure that you turn on the career interest option, so recruiters can easily find your digital resume for any writing-related position.
Fifth, Develop Several Query Templates
An introverted writer should take precautions against anything that drains his or her mental energy. One of the most effective ways is using templates for communication, particularly when sending queries. Create several different templates for each type of writing query.
For instance, if you write corporate blogs, journalism articles, and technical white papers, consider creating separate templates for each project type. For corporate blogs, you can create multiple templates based on the industry verticals targeted.
For journalism articles, you can develop several query templates based on the target readers, such as women's fashion magazines, parenting magazines, and vending machine trade magazines. For technical white papers, you can target each template for a specific industry type, such as fintech, IT, and blockchain technology.
Sixth, Automate Your Business
In this digital age, automation is an important part of doing freelance business. Use simple Typeform contact forms for preliminary client surveys so they can choose what services they need from you.
Next, you can connect it with Zapier, so you'll have a notification on your smartphone as soon as you receive a new contact. You can also nurture prospects with Drip or Mailchimp for automated e-mail responses, so you can spend more time reading and writing instead.
But don't go overboard with automation. It can feel less personal and "robotic." Make sure every e-mail is written as if you were talking to an intelligent friend. Just use a simple template, so it reads like it's sent by an individual, not a part of an automated drip e-mail marketing campaign.
Being an introverted freelance writer in this digital age is unprecedented. You don't need to attend tons of face-to-face events just to spread the word about your services. Instead, you can focus on completing assignments and brushing up your craft. Your website, LinkedIn profile, copied-and-pasted query templates, and business automation tools will continue to work on your behalf.
As long as you keep up with the latest technologies and humanize them with your writer's wit and charm, you can leverage a great deal. Today, despite being an introvert, promoting freelance writing services efficiently shouldn't be an issue.
