George Washington
By Betty Kirkpatrick
Muckle is now best known to most people for its appearance in the old adage Mony a mickle maks a muckle. This is popularly thought to mean that a lot of small amounts of something will make a large amount of it. It is often used to try and encourage people to save little amounts of money in the hope, one day, that these will become a fortune.
The sentiment may be admirable, but the saying as it stands actually does not make much sense. Mickle and muckle, far from being opposites in meaning, actually mean the same thing. As nouns they both mean a large amount or a great deal of something. As adjectives they both mean large or great in size. Many Scots words have variations in spelling and muckle/mickle is an example. Meikle is another variation of the same word, as in the meikle stane (stone) mentioned in Tam o' Shanter:
And past the birks and meikle stane,
Where drunken Charlie brak's neck-bane:'
How the saying Mony a mickle maks a muckle came about is a bit of a mystery. The most likely explanation is that the phrase started out life as Mony a pickle maks a muckle. Pickle, unlike mickle, is opposite in meaning to muckle and means a small amount. This phrase, then, has the merit of making sense.
If that is the case, a most unlikely person appears to have been involved in the faulty rewording of the saying. That person is George Washington. In 1793 he referred in writing to a Scots saying: "many mickles make a muckle" adding "than which nothing in nature is more true". I doubt if he single-handedly caused the mickle problem, but he certainly added to it.
Mony a mickle maks a muckle might be linguistically inaccurate, but it has spread its wings further into England than most Scots words and phrases have done. To add to the confusion, a version of the saying has appeared in some English dialects as Many a little makes a mickle.
The word muckle is derived from Old English micel, meaning great or large, which is associated with Old Norse mikill of the same meaning. Muckle can be used as a noun, as in the saying under discussion, or as in They dinna think muckle o' him, used to emphasize a poor opinion of someone. However, muckle is often used as an adjective in a wide range of contexts, as in a muckle tree, a muckle hoose, a muckle difference, a muckle eejit (idiot) and so on.
Muckle feck refers to the larger or lion's share of something, muckle coat to a greatcoat and muckle chair to a particularly large armchair. The muckle tae is the big toe and the town of Langholm in Dumfriesshire is frequently known as the Muckle Toon.
Muckle is also found in compound adjectives such as muckle-moued, having an exceptionally large mouth. Muckle-backit means having a good strong back, always an asset, and muckle-boukit, in one of its senses, means having a large powerful physique. In its other sense it means pregnant, hardly a flattering description of a mother-to-be.
Muckle has extended its senses to mean adult or grown up. Thus an expression such as someone's muckle dochter can be ambiguous. She can either be a large (probably not a compliment) daughter or a grown-up daughter. Muckle can also mean high-ranking or important, as in the muckle fowk (people) of the toon.
Muckle fowk have often achieved their muckledom by being wealthy. This reminds me of another muckle saying: Moyen (influence) does muckle, but money does mair (more). True, very true. Our wealthy Westminster politicians are living proof of it.

 By coincidence I just came over the 'many a little makes a mickle' version, with a slightly different implication, in The House with the Green Shutters, p 115:
 [The average Scotsman] has expressed his love of festina lente in business in a score of proverbs – 'bit by bit's the better horse, though big-by-bi-g's the baulder'; 'ca' canny or ye'll cowp'; 'many a little makes a mickle'; and 'creep before ye gang'.

The facing heaven pepper (Capsicum annuum var. conoides; Chinese name: 朝天椒; pinyin: cháotiānjiāo, also known as 指天椒; pinyin: zhǐtiānjiāo meaning'skyward-pointing chili pepper'), is a cone-shaped, medium-hot chili pepper, between 3 and 6 cm in length, 1 to 2 cm in diameter at the base, and with very thin skin.
A cultivar commonly used in Sichuan cuisine, it is called the facing heaven pepper because the pepper grows with the fruit pointing upwards, rather than downwards, as is normal in other pepper plants. The plant's upright growing habit is typical of "ornamental" peppers.
Because of its attractive appearance, the dried chili is often added to dishes whole. Although the chilli is often too hot to be consumed raw, it can be lightly cooked in oil to produce a milder equivalent.
This dried chili pepper is described as a "pantry staple" in the Sichuan province of China by Fuchsia Dunlop in her cookbook Land of Plenty. She describes it as very fragrant and moderately hot (much less hot than tiny Thai chilies).

The well-preserved remains of almost 1,000 pile dwellings and moorland settlements can be found in numerous lakes and wetland areas in and around the Alps.
The UNESCO World Heritage property comprises a total of 111 exemplary pile dwelling sites in the Alpine regions of Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Slovenia and Switzerland. Of the sites in Germany, 15 are located in Baden-Württemberg, predominantly in the western part of Lake Constance and on Lake Federsee, and three are in Bavaria, on Lake Starnberg (Rose Island) and in Pestenacker and Unfriedshausen near Landsberg am Lech.
These ancient dwellings date back to between 5,000 and 500 BC. The boggy conditions at the sites mean that wood, textiles, plant remains and other materials have been extremely well preserved. Significant finds of fabrics, wheels, carts and logboats, many still in excellent condition, provide important information on settlement structures, trade and mobility during the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Age.
The Lake Dwelling Museum at Unteruhldingen on Lake Constance and the Federsee Museum at Bad Buchau offer valuable insights into this fascinating subject.

Medicare requires that you capture specific information about your patients at both the initial assessment visit and at subsequent treatment visits. Gathering the information is only part of the process; you must also utilize this information for patient care and then report this information to Medicare in a format that they understand. The Medicare Documentation System is designed to accomplish this.
Using the Medicare Documentation System will enable you to:
- Collect the information that Medicare requires from the patient using patient friendly forms.
- Accurately utilize this information in the medical decision making process.
- Develop accurate treatment plans.
- Prove medical necessity through functional improvement.
- Objectively prove when the patient reaches maximum medical improvement.
- Report this information to Medicare reviewers in terms and language that they understand
This system uses forms to capture the required information from both the patients and the doctor. The use of forms allows this system to integrate with any EHR that allows customization. The staff can enter the information into the EHR thereby maximizing the doctors effective time.
The Medicare Documentation System includes:
- A manual explaining in detail how to utilize the system
- A CD with all of the forms
- 2 CDs containing 6 recorded webinars.
The webinar topics include:
- Assessment Visit documentation
- Treatment Visit documentation
- Treatment Plans

As a first-time traveler to Cuba, you probably have a lot of questions about the Cuban currency: What's the deal with Cuba's two currencies? Which Cuban money should you use? Can you pay with a credit card or debit card? Does Cuba still impose a 10% tax on US dollars? Do they even have ATMs in Cuba? In this article, we answer these questions and more.
Right off the bat, we can tell you that the Cuban currency system is super complicated to deal with as a traveler. But don't panic, we will cover absolutely everything you need to know about using money in Cuba.
BIG UPDATE: This article has been updated to reflect the changes part of the reform of the Cuban monetary system in January 2021, which eliminated the CUC. Please, ignore the comments posted before 2021 because a lot has changed!
For practical advice on saving money in Cuba, read our ultimate list of travel tips for Cuba. If you are a US citizen visiting Cuba, check out the complete guide on how to travel to Cuba from the US.
1. What is the Currency in Cuba?
The first thing you should know about the Cuban monetary system is that Cuba used two official currencies until December 31st, 2020: the CUP (Cuban Peso) and the CUC (Cuban Convertible Peso). However, it all changed in January 2021, when Cuba eliminated the CUC and left the CUP as the only official Cuban currency. Therefore, as a traveler, you will use the CUP.
The (Eliminated) Cuban Convertible Peso (CUC)
The Cuban Convertible Peso (CUC) was one of Cuba's two official currencies and the one most frequently used by visitors. However, contrary to what many outdated articles say on the Internet, you can no longer use the CUC in Cuba.
This is because Cuba eliminated the dual currency system on January 1st, 2021 and the Cuban Peso (CUP) became the only official currency in Cuba. If you travel to Cuba before mid 2021, you may still see some CUCs in circulation because Cuban residents have until July 2021 to exchange their remaining CUCs into CUPs.
The Cuban Peso (CUP)
The CUP (also locally known as "moneda nacional" or MN) is the primary Cuban currency. It is used by both residents and visitors alike.
Stick with us because we will talk a lot about the Cuban Peso. But first, let's point out the physical difference between the CUC and CUP.
The tangible difference between the CUC and CUP
You've never been there. Never used Cuban money. So, how are you supposed to know the difference between the CUC and the CUP and avoid getting scammed?
Cuban currency - CUC and CUP
Here is the secret: the CUP bills have faces. If you expect to receive CUP in a transaction and don't see a face on the bill, you will be getting CUC instead! The CUC bill also says "pesos convertibles" right at the center.
2. What Cuban Currency to Use as a Visitor?
For most of your expenditures on the island, you must use CUP. All resorts, hotels, airports, restaurants, and tourist attractions will accept CUP.
You should always have the lower denomination CUP bills at hand to cover small expenses such as street food, bus fare, flea market finds.
With that said, if you are traveling with USD, we suggest you take some USDs to Cuba with you. This is because the USD is the currency king at private facilities, such as "hostales" (private rooms) and "paladares" (private restaurants). Also, while you can tip in CUP, hotel and restaurant attendants will welcome your USDs for tipping in Cuba
3. Can You Use the US Dollar in Cuba?
Officially, you can use US dollars, Canadian dollars, and Euros ONLY at airports in Cuba. In fact, although the CUP is also accepted at shops and restaurants in Cuban airports, we encourage you to use your home currency (more on that below).
Now, although you won't be able to pay in USD for products and services at state facilities, the truth is that private businesses in Cuba are eager to take your hard-fought US dollars. This is because of the existence of "dollar stores", also known as "tiendas MLC". The dollar stores are incredibly well-stocked shops where Cuban residents can buy food and hygiene products, home appliances, and spare parts for cars. These stores only accept US dollars! (Keep in mind that only Cuban residents can buy from these dollar stores.)
The CUP stores pale in comparison. Actually, the scarcity of products at shops that sell in Cuban Pesos is extreme. This is the reason why the USD has significantly become more attractive to Cuban residents.
That's also why you may notice street vendors roaming around the CADECA offices and offering to exchange your US dollars for CUPs. However, to avoid the risk of currency scams, we still recommend that you exchange your USDs at a bank, hotel, airport, or CADECA office.
If you are staying at a hostal and trust your host, it's not a bad idea to exchange some US dollars with your host… or better yet: pay them in USD!
4. Where to Exchange Cuban Currency?
Travelers can exchange Cuban currency at banks, hotels, and government currency exchange houses (CADECA). CADECA offices are located in airports, hotels, resorts, and shopping centers. CADECA offices are the safest and most reliable places to exchange currency.
Please, be aware that it is very unlikely that you will get Cuban currency in advance. If you manage to do it, keep in mind that you are allowed to import up to 2,000 CUP, according to a recent resolution from the Aduana General de la República de Cuba (customs).
5. The Cuban Currency Exchange Rate
The exchange rate depends on whether you want to buy or sell CUP and on the foreign currency you are using for the operation. The value of international currencies against the Cuban Peso is determined by the international exchange rate.
At each CADECA office, you will notice a TV screen displaying the daily exchange rates, like this:
CADECA CUP Exchange Rates
The table above shows the current CUP exchange rate, according to the official CADECA's website. The column Compra/Buy indicates the exchange rate at which CADECA buys the currency, while the Venta/Sell column shows the exchange rate at which they sell the currency.
Whatever currency you want to sell to CADECA, you will need to multiply the amount of money you want to exchange by the exchange rate listed on the Compra/Buy column.
For example, if you want to exchange 100 CAD to CUP, here is the math: 100*18.3451 ≈ 1,835.5. Yeah, that's right, you will get around 18.35 CUP for 1 CAD… exactly how it says in the table.
You should also know that the Cuban currency exchange rate may be slightly more expensive at CADECA offices located in hotels, ports, and airports. The exchange rates are also updated twice a week. Make sure to always check the current exchange rate at the official CADECA's website.
The US dollar exchange rate to Cuban currency: the (no-longer) special case
From 2004 to July 16th, 2020, Cuba imposed a 10% tax on US dollars. It meant that converting American money into Cuba money incurred a 10% fee on top of the current exchange rate. However, despite what you might have read out there, this is no longer true. As of July 16th, 2020, if you want to exchange US dollars into CUP, you will NOT have to pay for the additional 10% tax.
A word of caution: be aware of the currency scams
Aside from official currency exchanges, there are a few unofficial ways as well.
Most often, you can stumble upon these "opportunities" just outside of currency exchange offices and local shops. Often, people willing to make unofficial exchanges will pitch you on attractive offers: instead of the official rate of about 23 CUP for 1 USD, they're willing to give you 30 CUP or even more. That's because they can resell it later for up to 60 CUP!
However, keep in mind that currency scams are not uncommon in Cuba, and tourists are typically the victims. The currency scam can go one of two ways: 1) you receive forged currency in exchange for your (legitimate) money; or 2) you get change in CUC, which was eliminated, instead of CUP.
You could lose a lot of money this way!
Like we said before, if you trust your host, you can ask him/her to exchange your US dollars at CADECA's rates. You can also pay for your hostal or meals at private restaurants with USD. In fact, they welcome it if you do it.
Finally, be aware that pickpocketing is common in large cities like Havana. Thus, a travel money belt may be handy to protect your money and small valuables while walking the streets of Cuba.
6. What is the Best Currency to Bring to Cuba?
It all boils down to bringing the foreign currency that has the highest possible conversion rate in Cuba. In terms of conversion value, the British Pound Sterling, and the Euro are the best currencies to

- Single signal switches activation of genes in a sequential order
- Each state ensures that the previous state is switched off
- Each state 'primes' the next state to make it ready to be switched on
- Signal need only be pulsed for a short time
- First signal pulse is sent, activating On1, On2 and On3
- On2 and On3 cannot yet do anything
- On1 activates Gene1 (which maintains itself) and Prime2 (which also maintains itself)
- After the signal pulse, On1, On2 and On3 will degrade. This leaves Prime2 and Gene1 in the system
- Therefore, the system state is Gene 1 = ON, Gene 2 = OFF, Gene 3 = OFF
- Second signal pulse is sent, activating On1, On2 and On3
- On3 cannot yet do anything
- On1 effectively does nothing because it tells Prime2 and Gene1 to switch on but they already are on
- On2 combined with Prime2 activates Gene2 (which maintains itself) and Prime3 (which maintains itself)
- Gene2 also activates Off1 (self-maintaining), which represses Gene1 and On1
- After the signal pulse, On1, On2 and On3 degrade, leaving Prime 3 and Gene2 in the system
- Therefore the system state is Gene 1 = OFF, Gene 2 ON, Gene 3 OFF
- Third signal pulse is sent, activating On1, On2 and On3
- On1 is repressed
- On2 would activate Prime3 and Gene2 but they are already active
- On3 combined with Prime3 activates Gene3 (which maintains itself)
- Gene3 activates Off2 (self-maintaining), which represses Gene2 and On2
- On1, On2 and On3 degrade after the pulse is stopped, leaving Gene3 in the system
- Therefore the system state is Gene 1 = OFF, Gene 2 = OFF, Gene 3 = ON and we have a system that goes from 0→1→2→3 with a pulse of a single signal.
- The kinetics of this model would be very important, Prime2 cannot accumulate after the first pulse until On2 degrades
- Possible solution, make On2 be activated by Signal + Prime2
- Would it be possible to make all the On proteins the same, with just the Prime protein being the determinant of which state gets turned on next?
- Should the Off1 protein be activated directly by On2/Prime2 to decrease the time until Gene1 is switched off?
- 1. It is great to see a non-binary clock model. How modular will this design be (ie. Can it be easily recombined with other modules for functions other than telling time?)
- 2. If we want to time above 3, what is needed (this again is related to modularity and extension)?
- 3. If this is going to be implemented in a single cell, your pulsing and processing of the entire gene1,2, and 3 expression need to finish prior DNA replication (ie ~ 20mins in E.coli). This also goes to say that lloyd's model001 will encounter this problem too because it is a single cell implementation. Lloyd's model002 is currently underway and it is a B0, B1, B2 cells (ie multicells) approach. Can you explain if this will be a single cell or multicell model?
- 4. How different is your implementation to Elowitz repressilator that also did gene1 ON, gene2 OFF, gene3 OFF, AND THEN gene1 OFF, gene2 ON, gene3 OFF AND THEN gene1 OFF, gene2 OFF and gene3 ON in a cycle manner?
- 5. How does your model deal with asynchronous gene expression responses?

The study of the properties, circulation and distribution of groundwater.
In South Africa the term geohydrology and hydrogeology are used interchangeably. In theory hydrogeology is the study of geology from the perspective of its role and influence in hydrology, while geohydrology is the study of hydrology from the perspective of the influence on geology.
Why is geohydrology important?
Geohydrology allows the understanding, quantification and management of groundwater resources.


Implementing Improved Slicing in ndarray 0.11
Implementation of combined slicing and subviews as a single operation in ndarray 0.11.0
ndarray 0.11 has a convenient new feature: combined slicing and subviews as a single operation. ndarray is a Rust crate that provides an n-dimensional array type and associated functionality for general elements and for numerics.
This article discusses the implementation of the new feature. It's a story of type hacking: zero-sized types, associated types, traits for compile-time type manipulation, and pointer casting.
The primary type in ndarray is the ArrayBase container type, which is represented internally as:
 - the data representation (e.g. a contiguous memory block for owned arrays),
 - a pointer to the first element,
 - a sequence of n axis lengths, and
 - a sequence of n axis strides.
The two generic type parameters in ArrayBase are:
 - S: the data ownership (owned arrays own the block of data; array views only have a pointer to it)
 - D: the dimensionality of the array (e.g. Ix1 for 1-D arrays, Ix2 for 2-D arrays, etc.)
ArrayBase is used for both owned arrays and views of arrays. Note that the number of dimensions of the array is typically fixed at compile time, although there is a dynamic dimension type IxDyn if needed.
Slicing methods such as.slice() create a view a subset of the data in an array. With a step other than 1, it's also possible to do things such as view every third index along an axis or reverse the order of an axis.
For example, let's say you have a 3-dimensional array of shape 2 × 2 × 3 (i.e. 2 submatrices of 2 rows and 3 columns):
let arr = array![[[ 1, 2, 3],
 [ 4, 5, 6]],
 [[ 7, 8, 9],
 [10, 11, 12]]];
assert_eq!(arr.shape(), &[2, 2, 3]);
You could create a slice with
 - Both of the submatrices, but in reverse order: 0..2;-1
 - The first row in each submatrix:..1
 - The even-index columns in each submatrix:..;2
let slice = arr.slice(s![0..2;-1, 0..1,..;2]);
 array![[[7, 9]],
 [[1, 3]]]
assert_eq!(slice.shape(), &[2, 1, 2]);
Here, slice is a view of a subset of arr (without copying).
Subview methods such as.subview() create a view restricted to a single index along an axis, and then remove that axis from the view. This produces a view with one dimension less than the input array.
For example, let's select the first (index 0) row in each submatrix (axis 1) of arr. The new shape is [2, 3] because axis 1 was removed from the view.
let subview = arr.subview(Axis(1), 0);
 array![[1, 2, 3],
 [7, 8, 9]]
assert_eq!(subview.shape(), &[2, 3]);
Combining slicing and subviews
ndarray 0.11 makes it possible to combine slicing and subviews in a single operation. To get the same result in earlier versions of ndarray, you'd have to chain together multiple.slice() and.into_subview() calls while being careful about their order. For example,
let arr = Array4::::zeros((12, 10, 6, 9));
// old
let slice = arr.slice(s![3..7,..,..;2,..]).into_subview(Axis(3), 5).into_subview(Axis(1), 4);
// new
let slice = arr.slice(s![3..7, 4,..;2, 5]);
In this example, 3..7 and..;2 indicate slices of axes 0 and 2, and 4 and 5 indicate subviews of axes 1 and 3. The new version is more concise and is easier to use correctly than a series of.slice() and.into_subview() calls.
Implementing this feature was interesting because so much needed to be handled at compile time. The goals were:
 1. Allow a combination of slicing and subviews in a single operation.
 2. Provide compile-time checking of the number of dimensions in the slicing argument. For example, it should be a compile-time error to call Array1::zeros(5).slice(s![..,..]).
 3. Determine at compile time the number of dimensions of the output array/view after slicing. (Otherwise, we'd always have to return a dynamic-dimensional array.)
 4. Provide a representation of slicing information that can be passed around or stored in a variable.
 5. Minimize the use of generic type parameters.
One option was to create a macro that expands to a series of.slice() and.into_subview() calls, like this:
slice!(arr, [3..7, 4,..;2, 5])
This approach was backwards-compatible, but it didn't address goal 4 (providing an object that could represent the slicing information). Additionally,
slice_move!(5 + &slice!(arr, [3..7, 4]) - 9, [..;2])
wasn't quite as easy to read as
(5 + &arr.slice(s![3..7, 4]) - 9).slice_move(s![..;2])
So, I decided to focus on modifying the s![] macro to support subviews.
Representing slicing information
The first step was to define a representation of the information necessary to perform a slice.
In earlier versions of ndarray, this was &[Si; n], where each instance of Si
pub struct Si(pub Ixs, pub Option, pub Ixs);
represented a slice of one axis. The signature of.slice() was
impl ArrayBase
 S: Data,
 D: Dimension,
 pub fn slice(&self, indexes: &D::SliceArg) -> ArrayView;
where D::SliceArg was [Si; n] for fixed-dimension arrays and [Si] for dynamic-dimension arrays. The s![] macro simply provided a compact way to construct a &[Si; n] instance.
In ndarray 0.11, the replacement for Si had to be able to represent either a range with step (slice) or an index (subview). Rust made this easy with an enum:
pub enum SliceOrIndex {
 Slice {
 start: isize,
 end: Option,
 step: isize,
Now that.slice() could take subviews in addition to slicing axes, the dimension of the output array/view could be different from the dimension of self. As a result, the function signature needed to have a generic parameter Do:
pub fn slice(&self, info: &SOMETHING_HERE) -> ArrayView
 Do: Dimension;
So, s![] couldn't just return &[SliceOrIndex; n]; it needed to include Do. The slicing information had two parts: the output dimension and the actual sequence of SliceOrIndex. I combined these in a struct
pub struct SliceInfo {
 out_dim: PhantomData,
 indices: T,
where T was [SliceOrIndex; n] when the SliceInfo was produced by s![].
Constructing SliceInfo
In order to construct a SliceInfo instance, the s![] macro had to build an array [SliceOrIndex; n] and determine the output dimension type after slicing. Both problems were solved with traits:
 - Use Into to convert each argument to SliceOrIndex.
 - Use a new trait SliceNextDim to determine the output dimension type.
The SliceNextDim trait provided a way to update the output dimension while iterating over the arguments.
pub trait SliceNextDim {
 fn next_dim(&self, PhantomData) -> PhantomData;
Starting with $dim = PhantomData (0-dimensional) and calling SliceNextDim(&$arg, $dim) on each argument $arg to update $dim determined the output dimension. The implementation of SliceNextDim for index (subview) arguments specified that D2 = D1 since the corresponding axes were not included in the output, while the implementation for range (slice) arguments specified that D2 = D1::Larger since the corresponding axes were included in the output.
This was great because all the types are determined automatically at compile time! The return type from s![] was &SliceInfo<[SliceOrIndex; n], D>.
Argument coercions
The signature for.slice() was now
pub fn slice(&self, info: &SliceInfo) -> ArrayView
 Do: Dimension;
where D::SliceArg was [SliceOrIndex; n] for fixed dimensions and [SliceOrIndex] for the dynamic dimension (IxDyn). Automatic coercion of

Thanks to numerous optimisations, generalised use of the latest OpenGL techniques, and finely tuned memory consumption, Open Inventor 8.1 delivers a display rate which is now nearly equivalent to graphics hardware peak performance. This new release also introduces a dynamic display resolution mechanism, whereby advanced rendering effects are progressively applied during interaction, refining image quality on the fly, without sacrificing interactivity. Volume masks and real-time shadows are two major new features provided by VolumeViz 8.1, while the MeshViz XLM 8.1 extension benefits from more parallelised extraction algorithms and significantly improved performance. Finally, ScaleViz 8.1 now takes full advantage of multi-GPU configurations, with optimal performance on Nvidia QuadroPlex systems using the Nvidia CompleX engine.


RFC (Request for Comments)
The Request For Comments (RFC) are a collection of documents about various topics of the Internet, containing protocol specifications and alike.
It is important to understand that not all RFC documents are protocol specifications; the main categories are: Informational, Proposed Standard, Draft Standard, Standard, Experimental, Best Current Practice and For Your Information. RFC documents may also extend or update a given other RFC document, or make it obsolete. There are even April 1st jokes, which can easily be recognized by the date of publication and the often odd title and abstract.
You will find all RFC documents at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC repository. An useful address is The RFC Editor where you can search for specific keywords in order to find relevant RFC documents (and even Internet Drafts, which are drafted potential RFC documents).
RFC's are typically referenced by their number, so you might see something like "the TCP RFC 793" or only "RFC 793" in a document.
Assigned numbers
Various official assignments of protocol numbers and other properties can be found at the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)'s Protocol Numbers and Assignment Services page. This information used to be maintained in the Assigned Numbers RFC. but the last of those was RFC 1700, which is now outdated.
RFC 1166 has an out-of-date list of IP address ranges. To find out to whom an IP address belongs, you can use various "WHOIS" services:

Not sure if you'd need a picture of the graph or not; don't think you would.
It just looks like an upside down parabola, but starts at 0 and cuts back through the x-axis.
The curve (C) has the equation
The point A on C is a stationary point (is just a point at where the parabola turns back down [the tiny bit where it's flat]), and C cuts the x-axis at the point B.
Show that the x-coordinate of B is 3.
[I would of thought that if i substituted 3 into the above equation, y would equal 0?] it equals -9 however.

Women's figure skating is the most popular figure skating event at the Winter Olympics. There are "queens and princesses of the ice" who have left their mark on the figure skating world. There are also many famous people who have been a part of ice skating history.

Understanding the Steps, Turns, and Footwork That Olympic Figure Skaters Perform
Every step or turn a figure skater does has a name. Can you identify the figure skating turns that are done on one foot? Next time you watch an elite ice skater do a step sequence, try to recognize at least one three turn, one bracket, one counter, and one rocker.
A new kind of scoring replaced the old 6.0 figure skating judging system and was created in response to the 2002 Olympic figure skating scandal. The idea was to attempt to make figure skating competitions more objective and fair.
Competitors are given two scores: a technical score and a program component score. The technical score is added together to the program component score and the result is the segment score. The sum of all the segment scores (the short program and the free skate) becomes the total competition score. The skater with the highest score wins.

At the Olympic Games, at least two different phases of a competition take place. This means that Olympic figure skaters do more than one performance before a champion is crowned. The winner of the first phase of an Olympic event may win an Olympic title, but there is a chance that someone else can "pull up" and become the Olympic Figure Skating Champion. In the final phase of Olympic figure skating competition, the skaters who place in the top four after the initial phase, compete last, so the last part of an Olympic figure skating event is the most exciting to watch!

One to six delayed neutron groups. Five temperatures - fuel, canning, coolant, surface of moderator and bulk moderator. A maximum of 20 x 30 mesh points can be accommodated. Radial and axial reflectors are simulated by extrapolation conditions. The thermal characteristics are assumed uniform with the exception of the coolant for which the radial distribution is estimated, assuming that the exit temperature is constant, and taking proper account of the thermal capacity of the moderator.
Overall control is a function of the temperature variation of the coolant at exit. The axial control is a function of the variation of the relation between the heating of the canning and the heating of the coolant.


How do Chumash Indian children live, and what did they do in the past?
Add your answer...
1 Answer
They do the same things all children do--play with each other, go to school and help around the house. Many Chumash children like to go hunting and fishing with their fathers. In the past, Indian kids had more chores and less time to play in their daily lives, just like colonial children. But they did have dolls, toys, and games to play. One favorite Chumash children's game was a contest to throw a javelin through a rolling hoop. Chumash kids also enjoyed swimming on the beaches. A Chumash mother traditionally carried a young child in a cradleboard on her back--a custom which many American parents have adopted now. What were men and women's roles in the Chumash tribe? Chumash men were fishermen and hunters, and sometimes they went to war to protect their families. Chumash women ground acorn meal, did most of the cooking and child care, and wove baskets. Both genders took part in storytelling, music and artwork, and traditional medicine. A Chumash chief could be either a man or a... more

Take the 2-minute tour ×
My question is simple:
What tactics are used with PostgreSQL based applications to avoid the user ever being presented with a DB generated error caused by constraints and foreign keys etc.?
The rationale for this question is:
It is common practise within all DBs I've worked with to trap at least some user errors. Generally you try to make sure the application guides the users away from error but no matter how idiot proof you make something, someone will always make a better idiot. As a result you always need to encode constraints such as unique constraints and foreign key constraints to ensure that a brilliantly foolish individual does not corrupt your data.
These need to be DB constraints and not application logic because frequently they involve race conditions (only the DB can correctly keep something unique or enforce foreign keys etc).
For modern software it no longer acceptable to present a user with a message such as: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "test_x_key". Just the word "error" makes some users phone tech support to tell them the application has broken. Users expect to be talked to as people not as a computer. And well they should... computers the servants of people; not the other way around.
The problem is, I have never found a good solution to reliably catch a DB error resulting from a constraint and trace it's precise origin in order to a) have the application take appropriate action such as correcting the error automatically and retrying or b) presenting the user with a meaningful error message written by the application designer not the makers of PostgreSQL.
I have thought of parsing the resulting human readable error message which usually available in some form or other depending on which language you're working in. My concern over this answer is that I don't see the error messages specified in the manual and so I'm not certain how reliable they are from one version of PostgreSQL to the next.
I'm interested to know: What techniques do people use to identify which DB constraint caused a DML statement to fail or what techniques do people use to avoid hitting these constraints entirely.

When you catch the error, extract the constraint name from the exception/error message and use the constraint name as a key to a resource bundle that maps the name to a human readable message
Given the table:
create table foo
 id integer constraint pk_foo primary key,
 some_value integer
create a resource bundle (or whatever technique you use in your programming language) with this content:
pk_foo=This record already exists in the database
For FK constraints you can have something like:
fk_foo_bar=There is no corresponding "bar" record available.
These messages can then even be localized.
To supply "generic" error messages, you should rely on the error code and not on the message. The error codes are described in the manual
share|improve this answer
Could you elaborate a little on the reliability of error messages. You suggest that parsing them is acceptable. What is the scope for them changing from one version to the next and thus messing up the "extraction" of the constraint name? – couling Jan 6 '13 at 23:14
_USER_: although there is a chance they will change, I doubt that existing message will change substantially. I would however make sure that the language is always set to english, so that you don't need to worry about that. – a_horse_with_no_name Jan 7 '13 at 8:02

Another possibility (although I can't comment on whether it's a good solution) is to create your own set of translated messages.
See Native Language Support for a description of how message catalogs are written for PostgreSQL. Many of the message strings are parameterized so you may find that the information that you plan to parse out of the error message is already treated as a parameter anyway.

This is exactly what we do with LedgerSMB. One note I would make is that the best way to do this is to translate the SQL State code to a human readable message, not the db error string. – Chris Travers Mar 4 '13 at 11:55

Corporate events and team building activities play a crucial role in strengthening workplace relationships, boosting employee morale, and fostering a sense of camaraderie among colleagues. While traditional approaches are effective, incorporating photo booths into such events adds an element of fun and creativity that can truly elevate the experience. In this blog post, we will explore why photo booths are a fantastic addition to corporate events and team building initiatives.
Icebreaker and Engagement:
Photo booths provide an excellent icebreaker for employees who may not interact regularly. These interactive spaces encourage individuals to come together, break down barriers, and create shared memories. By providing an enjoyable and relaxed environment, photo booths facilitate conversation, laughter, and bonding, enabling colleagues to connect on a more personal level.
Enhanced Team Building:
Team building activities are designed to strengthen relationships and promote collaboration within the workplace. Photo booths contribute to this objective by encouraging teams to work together, coordinate poses, and showcase their creativity. As employees step into the booth, they let go of inhibitions, embrace their playful side, and generate a sense of unity among teammates. This shared experience helps foster team spirit and a positive work environment.
Branding and Promotion:
Corporate events often present an opportunity to showcase a company's brand and values. Photo booths can be customized with branding elements such as logos, slogans, and color schemes. By incorporating these elements, companies can create a memorable and immersive brand experience for employees and event attendees. Additionally, the photos captured in the booth can be easily shared on social media platforms, amplifying brand exposure and generating excitement among a wider audience.
Photo booth prints serve as tangible and cherished souvenirs for participants. Employees can take home personalized mementos, reminding them of the enjoyable experiences shared during the event. These physical reminders not only evoke positive emotions but also strengthen the sense of belonging and pride within the organization. Additionally, digital copies of the photos can be shared online, further extending the reach and impact of the event.
Boosting Employee Morale:
Engaged and motivated employees are the backbone of any successful organization. By incorporating photo booths into corporate events, companies demonstrate their commitment to employee well-being and foster a positive work culture. The inclusion of such enjoyable and interactive activities uplifts spirits, encourages creativity, and provides a break from the routine, resulting in increased job satisfaction and improved employee morale.
Photo booths have emerged as an innovative and popular addition to corporate events and team building activities. Their ability to break the ice, enhance team bonding, promote branding, and create lasting memories make them a valuable asset in any workplace setting. By incorporating photo booths into corporate events, companies can create a lively and engaging atmosphere that fosters camaraderie, boosts morale, and strengthens relationships among employees. So, the next time you plan a corporate event or team building initiative, consider adding a photo booth to capture the joy, laughter, and spirit of togetherness that defines your organization.

Sculptural form finding with bending action
Paper in proceedings, 2017
This paper demonstrates a method development for integration of bending action into the form finding process. The aim has been to facilitate the designer with means to compromise between structural efficiency and sculptural freedom for grid shell type of structures.
The analysis is carried out using Dynamic Relaxation (DR) and to achieve bending capability, the base element implementation is a 12 degrees of freedom beam where the DR is solving for both translations and rotations. For purpose of validation, stress based utilization is calculated based on Eurocode 3 equations which are simplified to allow for separation of axial and bending utilization. A stress based sizer is also implemented to enable comparison based on tonnage.
The methods presented are derived from the principles behind stiffness control and force-density control form finding, commonly applied for compression and tension structures respectively. The common denominator being that they are all driven by a form finding load case, where the user can specify various combinations of axialand bending utilization limits for the elements, to which the form adapts as it tries to find equilibrium of internal and external forces and moments.
None of the methods was found to satisfy all requirements for a useful general purpose shell design tool. The main issue was found to be wrinkling of the initial geometry when the need for drastic change in element length, required for a structurally unsound free form surface changing shape in the form finding process, is being opposed by the relatively high axial stiffness of a beam. This is not usually an issue when form finding with elastic springs that undergo large deformations in the process.
Conclusively there might be merit for a form finding element that allows for large axial deformation to avoid the wrinkling problem but has the bending properties of a beam. From a workflow point of view, the implementation of elements with bending capability was demonstrated to be useful for form exploration, particularly when combined with automatic sizing. The separation of bending and axial utilization was also found useful from a form evaluation point of view.

I have a table with two column - [security_role_name] and security_role_cd. Datatype for security_role_cd is smallint in Security_Role table.
I have following data selection logic. The datatype returned varies based on the scenario of data:-
 1. No data in table
 2. One record present in table
 1. Why is the datatype varying in these scenarios
 2. How to correct it
Note: Currently i am using try..catch to meet this scenario

 newRoleID = Convert.ToInt32(reader.GetInt16(0)) + 1;
 int result = (reader.GetInt32(0));
 newRoleID = result + 1;

You can look at reader.GetFieldType(0). For example:
 int i;
 switch (Type.GetTypeCode(reader.GetFieldType(0)))
 case TypeCode.Int16: i = reader.GetInt16(0); break;
 case TypeCode.Int32: i = reader.GetInt32(0); break;
 // TODO: any other cases you need to handle
 default: throw new NotSupportedException();
or perhaps simpler:
 int i = Convert.ToInt32(reader.GetValue(0));

Thanks. Is following also worth using? SqlDbType type = (SqlDbType)(int)reader.GetSchemaTable().Rows[0]["ProviderType"]; – Lijo Nov 9 '12 at 11:47
_USER_ that adds a lot of overhead... the reader already knows the types... just ask the reader what the type is, IMO. – Marc Gravell Nov 9 '12 at 12:07
Can you please elaborate the answer with the reason for this behavior (Part 1 of the question)? That will help to make this answer more useful. – Lijo Nov 14 '12 at 7:39

On Thursday, December 8, Pulitzer Prize–winning authors Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith will give a free lecture (and booksigning) on their acclaimed new biography, Van Gogh: The Life, at 6:00 in the Art Institute's Fullerton Hall. In their talk, the authors present surprising new discoveries, including a shocking new conclusion to the life of this great Post-Impressionist painter.
And how well do you know the tempestuous life of this famous—or infamous—artist? The first person to answer the following questions (from the book, natch) correctly wins two tickets to the museum for free access to the lecture. Leave it in the comments!
1. In the van Gogh-Carbentus family tree, how many Vincent van Goghs preceded Vincent Willem van Gogh?
2. What was van Gogh's first job title?
3. Van Gogh once put his hand into the flame of a lamp and said he would keep his hand in the flame until:
4. Beginning in 1885 while in Antwerp, van Gogh began collecting these objects to decorate his studio.
5. Naifeh and Smith attribute the famous roommate drama between van Gogh and Gauguin in Arles to many things, but what, according to Naifeh and Smith, might have pushed relations between the two roommates over the edge?

Creating a User and Granting Permissions
Updated at: Sep 29, 2020 GMT+08:00
You can use IAM to implement refined permission control for DAS resources. To be specific, you can:
 - Create IAM users for employees from different departments of your enterprise. In this way, each IAM user has a unique security credential to use DAS resources.
 - Grant only the permissions required for users to perform a specific task.
 - Entrust an account or cloud service to perform professional and efficient O&M on your DAS resources.
If your account does not need individual IAM users, you may skip over this section.
Figure 1 describes how to grant permissions to a user group.
Before granting permissions to a user group, learn about the DAS system policies that can be added, as shown in Permissions Management. For the system policies of other services, see System Permissions.
Process Flow
Figure 1 Process for granting DAS permissions
 1. Create a user group and grant permissions to it.
 Create a user group on the IAM console, and grant the DAS Administrator policy to the group.
 2. Create an IAM user.
 Create a user on the IAM console and add the user to the group created in 1.
 3. Log in to the HUAWEI CLOUD console as the created IAM user, switch to the region where you have been authorized to use DAS, and verify permissions. For details about how to log in to the console, see Logging In as an IAM User.
 - In the service list, select Data Admin Service. On the displayed DAS console, click Add Login. If login information can be successfully created, DAS policies have already taken effect.
 - Select any other service, rather than DAS, in the Service List. If a message indicating insufficient permissions to access the service appears, DAS policies have already taken effect.

Extract and launch Network Directory File(s)
Be able to use a Page or Form to enable end users to automatically launch any file types from network directory.
Very useful when the design element does not have attachments to launch, rather looks for Network files to launch. The script will extract files to local temporary directory and launch them, thereby avoiding the netwwork files to be edited. The script will clean up all temp files on completion. I borrowed a function from searchDomino - Extract and start all attachments by Alexander Kogan, and tweaked slightly. (thanks and hope you don't mind).
This script essentially provides the ability to create a page with a series of hotspots pointing to files on the network. For example, I collated this process to enable persons to automatically launch Budget models in excel, policy documents in WordPro, etc. Each file location is stored in a keyword type document which is referenced by the Click routine.
Create a form, which may contain any number of hotspots designed to display files from the network. Do not want these files to be edited, rather view a copy of the document, leaving the Network directory file "as it was found".
1. Create a SaveOptions field, and set it to "0".
2. Do up your page, with tables, and Hotspots which state the files to view
3. Create a Rich Text Field called "Body"
4. Create a Computed, Multivalue value field: separated by (, ;) and display NewLine, called filePath. Value = filePath.
5. Create a Keyword Form - The form only needs FileName and FileLocation fields. - Name the Form "Document Location"
6. Create a view - File Locations - First sorted column (FileName), Second Column (FileLocation)
7. Create your Keyword documents - for FileLocation type in the full file path. Since script is being used, no need for (\) double backslashes
8. all this prevents hard coding of filepaths, etc...
9. Follow table instructions, to past Function and Declarations in the Globas of the Form
10. For each hotspot, Copy the Click command at the table. This will locate your filePath, attach the file to body field of your Form, then it will extract it to C:temp, then
the Function (kindly borrowed - slightly tweaked - from searchDomino - Extract and start all attachments by Alexander Kogan ) will launch the File.
May launch as many files as you wish. Each filePath will be appended to the filePath field.
11. The queryclose event, will trigger the Simple Agent to delete document.
12. Need to run another agent to clean up c:temp. This agent will loop through each string entry in filepath to delete all instances of the extracted files.
1. In the Global of the form - Option = Option Public
2. In Global of the Form - Declarations =
Declare Function SleepEx Lib "kernel32" Alias "SleepEx" (Byval dwMilliseconds
As Long, Byval bAlertable As Long) As Long
hwnd As Long, Byval lpOperation As String, _
String, Byval nShowCmd As Long) As Long
3. In the Options of the Form, paste this:
Function ExtractAndView(Doc As NotesDocument)
On Error Goto ErrorExtractAndStartAttchments
Dim item As notesitem
If Doc.HASEMBEDDED = True Then
Forall eItem In Doc.ITEMS
If (eItem.Type = Clng(RICHTEXT)) Then
If Not (Isempty(eItem.EMBEDDEDOBJECTS)) Then
Forall fItem In eItem.EMBEDDEDOBJECTS
Call fItem.EXTRACTFILE( "C:Temp" & fItem.Name)
'store this value to kill the file later "Inserted to create a string array in
'fielPath field"
Set item = doc.GetFirstItem("filePath")
Call item.AppendToTextList(fItem.Name)
ret = ShellExecute(handle&, "open", "C:Temp" & fItem.Name, "", "", 1&)
xx = SleepEx (4000,0)
'Exit Forall'Only First attachment
End If
End Forall
End If
End If
End Forall
End If
Exit Function
Msgbox ("in ExtractAndView: " + Error$(Err))
Resume ExitExtractAndStartAttchments
End Function
In the Query Close of the Form
_USER_([ToolsRunMacro];"delete uidoc");
Create an agent - "delete uidoc"
Simple Action - Delete Document
Manually from the actions menu
Selected Documents
Create another agent "kill"
Manually from the actions menu
Selected Documents
Sub Initialize
Dim session As NotesSession
Set session = New NotesSession
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Set doc = session.DocumentContext
Dim path As Variant
Dim DelFiles As Variant
delFiles = doc.GetItemValue("filePath")
Forall files In delFiles
 path = "C:Temp" & files
 Msgbox path
 Kill path
End Forall
End Sub
For each hotspot:
Sub Click(Source As Button)
Dim ws As New notesuiworkspace
Dim uidoc As notesuidocument
Set uidoc = ws.currentdocument
Dim doc As notesdocument
Set doc = uidoc.document
Dim filePath As String
Dim view As notesview

Set lup = view.getdocumentbykey("Corporate Financial Guidelines")
filePath = lup.FileLocationScript(0)
Dim rtitem As Variant
Dim file As notesrichtextitem
Dim object As NotesEmbeddedObject
'insert the attachment before launching
Set file = New NotesRichTextItem( doc, "Body" )
Set object = file.EmbedObject _
( EMBED_ATTACHMENT, "", filePath)
Call doc.save (True,True)

Children benefit immensely from spending time outdoors in the fresh air. A great way to get them outside is to encourage an interest in their garden. Let them get their hands and boots dirty!
Green Fingers and Muddy Boots—with worksheets on the accompanying CD—presents practical and fun activities in the garden for every month of the year, come rain or shine. Activities range from growing flowers and vegetables to spotting birds and tracking the weather and keeping a garden diary.
The activities are suitable for sevento fourteen-year-olds. Although older children will be able to work independently, it can be fun to work together as a family or school class.
This book is based on the original "Plant and Grow" course developed with the Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society, which has been used successfully by many families and schools for several years.
Ivor Santer was Deputy Principal at Oatridge Agricultural College until his retirement in 2003. He has lectured on agriculture throughout the UK for thirty-five years. In 1998, he began work on a children's gardening course in conjunction with the Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society, which was finished in 2007 and led to Green Fingers and Muddy Boots.


ing stiffness is selected based on the answers to the questions. The age of the player is not in this system but should play a role also. Young kids should play with a more comfortable string bed, comfort string at lower string bed stiffness, to prevent injuries and so that they learn to use the power out of the string bed. Lower the calculated stiffness by one stiffness class (3 kg/cm) for children under 16. Keep in mind that today's pros play at relative low stiffnesses (Federer at 34 kg/cm) so that they can use the power of the string bed to lift the speed of their game.
Figure 8
The right side of the route map shows the string bed stiffness and the stringing tension for each category of player. The relation between the string bed stiffness and the stringing tension will be explained in a later chapter of this series.
In the next chapter of this series we will deal with string bed stiffness.
About the author
In 1982, Fred Timmer and his father started the Stringway business, based on the cross stringing tool that Timmer designed. A development engineer with the Dutch Nuclear Centre, Timmer has designed all Stringway products. He also has conducted research on the mechanics and properties of racquet strings, which has led to the development of the Tension Advisor (translator from string bed stiffness to stringing tensions), the Rucanor Tennis computer and the Stringlab. Since 2010, Timmer has worked on a string classification system with the USRSA and the Dutch racquet forum. You can reach him at

Advances in Water Resources 23 (2000) 483-492
The generalized integral transform technique (GITT) is applied to solve the one-dimensional advection-dispersion equation (ADE) in heterogeneous porous media coupled with either linear or nonlinear sorption and decay. When both sorption and decay are linear, analytical solutions are obtained using the GITT for one-dimensional ADEs with spatially and temporally variable flow and dispersion coefficient and arbitrary initial and boundary conditions. When either sorption or decay is nonlinear the solutions to ADEs with the GITT are hybrid analytical-numerical. In both linear and nonlinear cases, the forward and inverse integral transforms for the problems described in the paper are apparent and straightforward. Some illustrative examples with linear sorption and decay are presented to demonstrate the application and check the accuracy of the derived analytical solutions. The derived hybrid analytical-numerical solutions are checked against a numerical approach and demonstratively applied to a nonlinear transport example, which simulates a simplified system of iron oxide bioreduction with nonlinear sorption and nonlinear reaction kinetics.

Columbia County Health Officials Report 'Significant Increase' Of COVID
(Columbia County) Public health officials in Columbia County say the coronavirus activity level has seen a significant increase. In a press release, Health Officer Susan Lorenz says Columbia County had a total of 47 positive cases at the beginning of June. As of Thursday, the county has seen 63 new positive cases since June. That accounts for 57-percent of the 110 total cases experienced since March. Thirty-four (34) people are being actively monitored by local health officials.
Younger people comprise the largest group of new cases with those in their 20s making up the largest single age grouping of positive cases at 22-percent. People in their 30s are in the second largest group of new cases at 20-percent. Lorenz says the majority of the cases are being transmitted from unknown sources, meaning they are not close contacts of a household member or a known case investigation, they are acquired in the general community.
When someone tests positive for coronavirus, the county health department interviews them to ask about places they have been and who may have had close contact with them. Columbia County health officials are in contact with them daily to monitor their symptoms and ensure they are following isolation instructions.
Health officials also monitor people who may have come in contact with someone who tests positive for coronavirus, through a method called contact monitoring or contact tracing. The standard contact investigation for any communicable disease includes letting them know they may have been exposed, giving them information about symptoms to watch for, and making sure they quarantine themselves if they meet certain criteria.
Lorenz says the best protection against COVID-19 is to continue to maintaining a six-foot social distance, wearing face coverings when you cannot maintain that distance, avoiding large gatherings, washing hands and disinfecting surfaces regularly, and staying home when you are sick.
