Tanzania secondary schools in rural areas are geographically and socially isolated, hence face a number of problems in getting learning materials resulting in poor performance in National examinations.
E-learning as defined to be the use of information and communication technology (ICT) for supporting the educational processes has motivated Tanzania to apply ICT in its education system.
There has been effort to improve secondary school education using ICT through several projects. ICT for e-learning to Tanzania rural secondary school is one of the research projects conceived by the University of Dar-es-Salaam through its College of Engineering and Technology. The main objective of the project is to develop a tool to enable ICT support rural secondary school.
The project is comprehensive with a number of components, one being development of e-learning management system (e-LMS) for Tanzania secondary schools.
This paper presents strategies of developing e-LMS. It shows the importance of integrating action research methodology with the modeling methods as presented by model driven architecture (MDA) and the usefulness of Unified Modeling Language (UML) on the issue of modeling.
The benefit of MDA will go along with the development based on software development life cycle (SDLC) process, from analysis and requirement phase through design and implementation stages as employed by object oriented system analysis and design approach.
The paper also explains the employment of open source code reuse from open source learning platforms for the context sensitive development of the e-LMS for Tanzania secondary schools.

the time specified. If 15 work units were to be released over a 60-second period, the library would release one every four seconds.
Whether you're using count-based or load-based distribution, the drain process is the same. Ordasity makes a list of work units to unclaim, then paces their release over the configured drain time.
Draining is especially useful for scheduled maintenance and deploys. Ordasity exposes a "shutdown" method via JMX. When invoked, the node will set its status to "Draining," cease claiming new work, and release all existing work to other nodes in the cluster over the configured interval before exiting the cluster.
When Handoff is enabled, Ordasity will allow another node to begin processing for a work unit before the former owner shuts it down. This eliminates the very brief gap between one node releasing and another node claiming a work unit. Handoff ensures that at any point, a work unit is being served.
To enable it, just turn it on in your ClusterConfig:
 val clusterConfig = new ClusterConfig("localhost:2181").
 setHandoffShutdownDelay(10) // Seconds
The handoff process is fairly straightforward. When a node has decided to release a work unit (either due to a rebalance or because it is being drained for shutdown), it creates an entry in Zookeeper at /service-name/handoff-requests. Following their count-based or load-based claiming policies, other nodes will claim the work being handed off by creating an entry at /service-name/handoff-results.
When a node has successfully accepted handoff by creating this entry, the new owner will begin work. The successful "handoff-results" entry signals to the original owner that handoff has occurred and that it is free to cease processing after a configurable overlap (default: 10 seconds). After this time, Ordasity will call the "shutdownWork" method on your listener.
Registering work units
Work units are registered by creating ZooKeeper nodes under /work-units. (If you have set Cluster.workUnitName to a custom value then this ZooKeeper path will change accordingly.)
The name of the work unit is the same as the name of the ZooKeeper node. So, for example to create 3 work units called "a", "b", and "c", your ZK directory should look like this:
Any String that is a valid ZK node name can be used as a work unit name. This is the string that is passed to your ClusterListener methods.
The ZK node data must be a JSON-encoded Map[String, String]. This may be simply an empty map ({}), or you may want to include information about the work unit, for use by your cluster nodes.
Note that Ordasity does not pass the ZK node data to your ClusterListener, so you will have to retrieve it yourself using the ZK client. It also does not provide a helper to deserialize the JSON string.
The ZK node data can also be used for pegging work units to specific nodes.
To do this, include a key-value pair of the form "servicename": "nodeId" in the JSON map.
Here servicename is the name of the cluster, as specified in Cluster's constructor, and nodeId is the unique ID of a node, as set in ClusterConfig.
For example to peg a work unit to Node node123 in cluster mycluster, set the ZK node's data to {"mycluster": "node123"}.

Introducing Static Driver Verifier
Static Driver Verifier (SDV) is a static verification tool that runs at compile time. It explores paths in the driver code by symbolically executing the source code, making the fewest possible assumptions about the state of the operating system and the initial state of the driver. As a result, SDV can exercise code in paths that are missed in traditional testing.
SDV includes a set of rules that define proper interaction between a driver and the operating system kernel. During verification, SDV examines every applicable branch of the driver code and the library code that it uses, and tries to prove that the driver violates the rules. If SDV fails to prove a violation, it reports that the driver complies with the rules and passes the verification.

Quick Start
This quick start guide will explain how to set up a primitive sphere to interact with water.
An empty scene will be used for the example.
Water Object Manager
WaterObjectManager is the main script of Dynamic Water Physics 2 and has to be present in the scene for water/object interaction to work. It does not matter to which object it is attached, it just needs to be present. WaterObjectManager fetches the data from all the WaterObjects in the scene, processes it and sends it to a job which then does all the physics calculations and makes use of multiple CPU cores.
 1. Add a WaterObjectManager to the scene. No need to change any settings. Example:
Example WaterObjectManager setup.
Water Object
WaterObject is a script that tells WaterObjectManager which objects should interact with water. Any object that is active and has this script will interact with water. There are two requirements for WaterObject to work: a Rigidbody and a MeshFilter from which the script will fetch the mesh (DWP2 uses mesh data to simulate object/water interaction). Rigidbody does not have to be attached to the same object as WaterObject, but it must be present in one of its parents. This allows for composite objects; one Rigidbody with multiple hulls - such as a trimaran.
 1. Add a 3D Object ⇒ Sphere to the scene.
 2. Add a Sphere Collider to the Sphere if is not automatically added.
 3. Add a Rigidbody to the Sphere and set its mass to 300. There is also a script called MassFromMaterial which can calculate and set the Rigidbody mass based on material density and mesh volume, but it is a helper script and not required.
 4. Add WaterObject to the Sphere. Since the sphere by default has 768 triangles Simplify Mesh option should be used. This option automatically decimates the mesh to a Target Triangle Count. A good triangle count is 30 or less for simple objects and around 60 for ship hulls. Using higher triangle count will only have a minor influence on simulation quality but will have a linear performance penalty (doubling the triangle count will about halve the performance). Therefore, adjusting the triangle count until the object starts to lose its shape is recommended. In the case of the example sphere 36 will be enough:
Example WaterObject setup.
Water Data Provider
WaterDataProvider is a script that tells WaterObjectManager where the water is. It is an interface between water systems/assets and Dynamic Water Physics and allows the two to communicate. All flat water assets/shaders use the same WaterDataProvider: FlatWaterDataProvider while for wavy assets such as Crest an asset-specific WaterDataProvider has to be used, e.g. CrestWaterDataProvider.
As an example a flat water plane will be used:
 1. Create an empty object using RMB ⇒ Create Empty and name it Water. Name does not matter.
 2. Add FlatWaterDataProvider to it and press Play. The object will now float but it will appear as if it floating in empty space (which it is). FlatWaterDataProvider assumes that water is at transform.position.y of the object it is attached to and does not care about any shaders, colliders, etc. Changing the Y value of Transform's position will make the Sphere float at different heights.
 3. To make this look more realistic, a plane can be added instead. Delete the Water object created in step 1 and create a 3D Object plane instead. Attach FlatWaterDataProvider and make sure to remove MeshCollider from it or the sphere will just sit on the plane through physics collision.
 4. Press play again. The sphere floats the same as in step 2 but it appears it is in 'water'. At this point Default-Material of the plane can be replaced with a material that uses some kind of flat water shader - e.g. the included WaterProDaytime material which is just a standard Unity water.
A result of following this guide. Not pretty, but fully functional.
Water Particle System
WaterParticleSystem can be used to generate foam. It works with any flat water.
 1. Drag DefaultWaterParticleSystem from DWP2 ⇒ Resources into the scene and parent it to the Sphere.
 Example WaterParticleSystem setup.
 2. Move the Sphere to be above the water and press play. Sphere falling into the water will generate foam around it based on simulation data. WaterParticleSystem and ParticleSystem values can be tweaked to suit the needs of the project.
Center Of Mass
CenterOfMass is a simple script that offsets the center of mass of a Rigidbody.
Unity calculates center of mass of the object from all of its colliders, as if the object were homogenous. In many cases this is not correct - a ship has ballast, a crate could have some load in it, a barrel could have oil, etc.
To adjust the center of mass of an object simply attach CenterOfMass script to the same object that contains the Rigidbody and adjust the Center Of Mass Offset - a value in local coordinates which tells how much to offset center of mass from the Unity-calculated point. Want a ship to be less prone to capsizing? Lower the Y component of COM.
CenterOfMass inspector.
Water Object Wizard
WaterObjectWizard is a helper script that sets up a WaterObject automatically. It is still recommended to have knowledge of manual setup and how things work, but this script can automate and speed up the setup process.
A primitive Sphere will be used, same as in the rest of the guide above.
 1. Add a 3D Object > Sphere to the scene.
 2. Add WaterObjectWizard to the newly create Sphere.
 3. Tick Add Water Particle System (optional). This option is self-explanatory.
 4. Click Auto-Setup and press Play after the setup is done. The Sphere now floats and generates foam. Next step would be to manually check and tweak the default values, such as Target Triangle Count, center of mass, etc.
Enabling Burst
Burst is a compiler, it translates from IL/.NET bytecode to highly optimized native code using LLVM. This improves job performance.
It can be installed from Unity PackageManager.
By default Burst compilation is disabled. This is due to the fact that cross compilation is not supported in some cases. E.g. building for Mac OS on Windows will fail if Burst is enabled.
To enable Burst compilation add DWP_BURST under Project Settings ⇒ Player ⇒ Scripting Define Symbols. Make sure that the Burst package installed beforehand.

Subtract two easy formulas does not work. why?
Hello everybody,
i want to subtract two simple COUNT formulas but it doesn't work.
However, if I look at the individual results, then I have a result.
what am I doing wrong?
Hi StevenB,
Could you please try the same using COUNT_TABLE.
COUNT_TABLE(table1.column1) - COUNT_TABLE(table2.column2).
Hope it will solve your problem.
Many Thanks.
Now I have a number as a result.
That's really great.
Unfortunately, the number is completely wrong (-141). :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
What is so difficult for Celonis to subtract 2 numbers?
Hi _USER_
With your query, you are introducing a join between the two tables. After the join was computed, the aggregation functions are applied. So the COUNT on the smaller table actually returns the number of rows after the join with the larger table - which is basically the number of rows of the larger table (not necessarily exactly, because NULL values are not being counted). But in your case, it returns 0 because both COUNT results are the same, because of the mentioned reason.
If you are familiar with SQL: There you would also have the same issue. If you do a Join between both tables and then use the COUNTs in the SELECT statement, you would end up with the same result.
The suggestion of _USER_ is good, as COUNT_TABLE counts the number of rows of a particular table, not taking potential joins into account. However, if you have NULL values in the columns, they are also counted here, in contrast to the COUNT functions, which is probably why you get a result which is not the one you are expecting.
So what you wanna do is, you want to calculate the COUNTs separately first before subtracting, such that no join is introduced. You can do this for example with a PU function using the CONSTANT child table option:
PU_COUNT(CONSTANT(), "Table1"."Column") -
PU_COUNT(CONSTANT(), "Table2"."Column")
If FILTERs should be taken into account, you can warp a FILTER_TO_NULL around the arguments:
If you want, you can also do this for one side only, for the other one you could also leave the COUNT, e.g.:
COUNT("Table1"."Column") -
Can you check if this works for you?


A general rule for storing bread and buns is never to store them in the fridge. This causes the bread to dry out a lot quicker.
The very best thing to do is to freeze it and get it out to defrost on the day of eating. Bread can easily be sliced before you freeze it, so you can get out what you need when you need it.
Another way of keeping bread really fresh is to freeze it before it has been baked in the oven. If you are making small bread rolls, for example, freeze them on a baking tray once they have risen and before baking. When you want to serve them, simply remove them from the freezer and turn the oven on. When the oven is up to temperature, put the rolls in and serve them freshly baked.


the VG_View. Typically, postdraw() is used to render specialized cursors or provide visual feedback to the user in a manner specific to the tool.
selected() and deselected() are invoked whenever the tool is, respectively, selected or deselected by the user.
Low-level mouse and keyboard events can be handled directly by the tool using mousemotion() mousebuttondown(), mousebuttonup(), keydown() and keyup(). The coordinates passed to mouse-related callbacks are subject to the current position constraints, unless disabled by one of the VG_*_NOSNAP flags in the flags field.

Grains of paradise is a plant that is related to ginger. The seeds are used as a spice and as medicine.
Be careful not to confuse grains of paradise with capsicum. Both are known as grains of paradise.
People use grains of paradise for conditions such as diarrhea, heart disease, obesity, and many others, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
How does it work?
Chemicals in the seeds of grains of paradise seem to decrease swelling (inflammation), kill certain bacteria, and help burn body fat.

Large organizations with geographically distributed editors often benefit from process support when creating, reviewing, publishing and translating content. Optimizely is built for a distributed way of working, with various options for managing content creation and publishing depending on the size and setup of organizations.
Ways of controlling the publishing process:
The following features can be used to control the publishing process:
- Content must be approved before it can be published
Content approvals is a way to make sure that content is reviewed and approved before it is published. When an editor has finished working on a content item, the item is set to Ready for Review. One or more appointed reviewers must then approve the content item before it can be published. The reviewers are defined by an administrator in an approval sequence.
- Changes must be approved before they are applied
Change approvals is a way to make sure that certain changes are reviewed and approved before they are applied. The changes that are applicable for review are changes that affect how your website looks to visitors, such as moving a page to another parent item in the structure (as that can affect menus) or changes to access rights, language settings, or expiration dates.
- Publish multiple related content items at the same time
The projects feature and the projects gadget let you preview and publish multiple content items at the same time, such as a landing page, blocks and products (if you have Optimizely Commerce installed) that are part of a campaign.
- Restrict publishing access rights
Access rights let you control what editors can do where in the content structure. A typical example is to restrict the right to publish content to editor groups. This means that the publish option is not available for editors. Instead, they use the Ready to Publish status option. You can then view the content under Tasks.
- Use the Tasks tab
The simplest way to monitor content creation activities is to use tasks. The Tasks option lists changes to content filtered by content status.
You can use the following options for monitoring content creation and content approvals:
Option Description Draft Lists all draft versions that have been created or changed by you. Rejected Lists all content items in status Rejected that have been created or changed by you. Items are set as Rejected when they have been set to Ready for Review or Ready to Publish and then are declined. You can edit and update content in status Rejected before you set it to Ready to Publish or Ready for Review again. In Review Lists all content items on the website that are set as Ready for Review. See Content approvals. Ready to Publish Lists all content items on the website that are set as Ready to Publish and that you have publish rights to. Marked as Being Edited Lists all content items on the website that you have set as being edited. See Tools under Basic information properties. Recently Changed Lists the last items that are changed for the website by you or any other editor. Awaiting Review Lists the content items that you have sent for review and are in content status In Review. Declined Reviews Lists the content items that you have sent for review and are declined items in content status Rejected. As soon as the item is updated, it is not displayed in this list anymore. Approved Reviews Lists the content items that you have sent for review and are approved, that is in content status Ready to Publish. As soon as the item is published (or updated), it is not displayed in this list anymore. Awaiting Your Review Lists the content items that you are one of the designated approvers of. Approved by You Lists the content items you have approved. As soon as the item is published (or updated), it is not displayed in this list anymore.
Clicking a content item in the filtered task list displays the item in the main area. Use the versions gadget to see the version history for that particular content item. If you have publishing access rights, you can decide upon further publishing actions from the versions gadget.
If you are using A/B testing, you see a number of tasks related to this feature in the Tasks list. The available options under Tasks can also be configured specifically for your website by a developer.


text: To make mosquito netting, using a plastic bag, you will need the following: a butane torch or a campfire, a lathe, thumbtacks, and a plastic bags. The holes need to be 2 mm or less. Heat up the lathe. Lay the plastic bag on a flat and protected surface. Run the heated lathe over the plastic bag. Try to get the rows really close, without getting too close or overlapping. Overlapping will cause the holes to be larger. Also, be careful not to let it slide along, which would cause bigger holes. Check the size of the holes. If there are holes that are too big, then you can patch them, with plastic, waxed paper, and an iron, in order to make an iron on patch. Do this process to all of the bags. Then, using the patch method to fuse the bags together.

Six centuries of history
The tapestry history in the region contributes to the "myth Aubusson": the origin of the tapestry's establishment in Aubusson and Felletin gets lost in the legends.
The origin of the "de la Marche" tapestries (region of Aubusson and Felletin) is obscure. It has been attributed for a long time to the Arabic world, as some are linking it to an old legend evoking a Saracen troop, lost after the 732 battle, where Charles Martel stopped the Arabic expansion towards the North.
Some other writers, amongst them George Sand, spread the hypothesis that in the late 15th Century, the exile of the Ottoman prince Zizim in Bourganeuf (40 km away from Aubusson) went along with the establishment of Turkish textile workers' workshops.
For some others, it is between the alliances between Flemish families and "de la Marche" lords that this origin is to be searched, because they are said to have influenced the setting up of weavers from Arras or Hainaut near Aubusson and Felletin in the 16th or 17th Century.For that matter, the writing mentions from 1457 onwards in Felletin, allows considering an older local activity of wool linens and blankets would have given rise to a specification towards the tapestry.

dc.description.abstract Haitians in the United States represent the fourth largest immigrant population from the Caribbean. As in the case of many immigrant populations, Haitian immigrant adaptation has been challenged by social, political and economic factors, and as a result they have had to seek legal, health, and social services. According to the literature, help-seeking behaviors among Haitian immigrants have been associated with traditional indices of socioeconomic status, namely education, occupation, or income. This study takes a more in-depth look at the influence of social class by approaching it as cultural construct in the context of historical patterns of Haitian immigrant incorporation. Most Haitians arrived during the latter half of the 20th century in four successive waves, the 1957, 1970, 1980 and 1991 wave. Each of these waves of Haitian immigration represented a distinct context of departure and social class composition. A qualitative approach was used to obtain rich information on the role of help-seeking in the immigration and incorporation experience of Haitians from the perspective of immigrants who arrived during the four distinct waves of immigration. Individual and focused group interviews were conducted in English, Creole, and French with a purposive and snowball sample of 43 Haitian immigrants currently living in south Florida. Using a grounded theory approach, the analysis generated six categories related to the Haitian immigrant experience: orientation at time of arrival, establishment of social connections, issues of trust, generational effects, cultural constructs of social class, and perspectives on the help-seeking experience. Key findings emerged that identified the importance of social connections in Haitian help-seeking behaviors in the context of a complex Haitian social class construct imbedded in historical, political, and economic positioning. Specifically, across all immigration waves, regardless of social background--from the highly educated doctor who arrived in the 1950s to the rural peasant who arrived in the 1990s--Haitian immigrants identified an individual of Haitian descent residing in the United States on whom they relied for assistance in obtaining resources. This system of social connections reflected the social constructs of class existing in Haiti and remained a significant factor in Haitian immigrants' help-seeking behaviors during resettlement.

If no existing record has been selected, then the entered text is associated with a new record. CreatePeerRecord is called to create a record, the text is added as data, and the record is added to the graph. Otherwise, when an existing record has been selected, the record is retrieved, the data is updated with the entered text, and the graph is updated.
The application's OnRecordChanged event is fired when the status of a record in the graph changes. When a record is added, it adds the record's ID to the top list. When a record is deleted or when it expires, it removes the record's ID from the top list. In all cases, a diagnostic message is recorded.
private void OnRecordChanged(object sender,
 PeerGraphRecordChangedEventArgs e)
 PeerRecord record;

 textBox3.Text = record.DataAsString;
 recordId = e.RecordId;
Points of Interest
In order for the PeerRecord class to be cached by an application, it must make a copy of the unmanaged data. The reason for this is that after the PEER_RECORD has been marshaled, its memory is freed. To simplify freeing memory, Microsoft chose to create a continuous block of memory to store a record and its data. That is, the data follows the record in the same block of memory. As a result, once the memory is freed, the data is no longer accessible from managed code (the IntPtr is invalid). In an effort to maintain the data in marshalable form, the unmanaged data is copied into the unmanaged memory. It's too bad, Microsoft doesn't provide a better way to do this.
private void CopyUnmanagedData(PEER_DATA data)
 IntPtr ptr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(data.cbData);
 byte[] buffer = new byte[data.cbData];
 Marshal.Copy(data.pbData, buffer, 0, data.cbData);
 Marshal.Copy(buffer, 0, ptr, data.cbData);
 data.pbData = ptr;
I will need to run some benchmarks to determine if there is a more optimal approach to handling this problem, especially if the majority of the time, it's only marshaled for reading.

This is a pretty simple Django question, but I can't find the answer in the Django docs, despite lots of hunting!
How do I check whether an object already exists, and only add it if it does not already exist?
Here's the code - I don't want to add the follow_role twice in the database if it already exists. How do I check first? Use get() maybe - but then will Django complain if get() doesn't return anything?
current_user = request.user follow_role = UserToUserRole(from_user=current_user, to_user=user, role='follow') follow_role.save()
There's a helper function for this idiom called 'get_or_create' on your model manager:
role, created = UserToUserRole.objects.get_or_create( from_user=current_user, to_user=user, role='follow')
It returns a tuple of (model, bool) where'model' is the object you're interested in and 'bool' tells you whether it had to be created or not.

Introduction: How to Make Portable Speakers With PET Bottles
Environment-friendly and cheaper alternative
- One can make his/her own speakers without buying expensive ones from the electronics store. Just look for old desktop or stereo speakers (preferrably with a diameter of approx. 2.5 inches).
- The speakers can be utilized either indoors or outdoors due to its compact size and ease of use.
Step 1: STEP 1
- Gather the following materials:
1. two (2) small speakers (with a diameter of approximately 2.5 inches) attached to a 3.5mm jack
2. wire cutter
5. small Phillips screwdriver
6. two (2) identical PET bottles with a diameter of 2.5 inches on their widest inner area on the top halves
Step 2: STEP 2
- Use the cutter to slice the bottle into two.
- The horizontal ridges on the top half of the bottle can be used as guides. One can adjust where to cut according to his/her requirements.
Step 3: STEP 3
- Remove the bottle cap. Detach the wires from the one of the speakers with the scissors.
- Insert the wires of the other speaker through the neck of the bottle and carefully pull them out of the mouth, with the speaker's front facing the open bottom of the top half of the bottle.
Step 4: STEP 4
- If there are any sharp edges on the metal support of the speakers, slowly fold them inwards with the wire cutter. Fit each speaker snugly on the top ridge, near the neck of the bottle.
Step 5: STEP 5
- Using the cutter, cut through the center of the bottle caps with one horizontal line and the other one vertical, forming a "+" sign. Slowly pull outwards the four flaps that were formed by the cuts. Insert the wires through the caps, and twist the latter back on the necks of the bottles.
- Reattach the other speaker to the cut wires.
Step 6: STEP 6
- The speakers are ready for use.


Chief's Message
Peace making in an ever changing world. For thousands of years, the Lenca rulers of Managuara have not only played a delicate stewardship of the narrow land bridge in the continent, they have also played a mediation role between the north and south cultural blocs. In this video, the current Chief explains that unique role of the House and the Chief. By extension, it is the role of all Lenca descendants, wherever they are.
Who and where are the Lenca? What is their role among other Native Nations?

Along the northern bank of the Tagus River lies this large stone monument celebrating Portugal's Age of Discovery and sitting on the location that ships bound for Asia used to depart from in the 15th and 16th centuries. It was constructed for the Portuguese World Fair in 1940, inaugurated in 1960 upon the anniversary of Henry the Navigator's death, and has been a Cultural Center of Discovery since 1985. The monument depicts 33 sculpted historical figures including explorers, monarchs, artists and missionaries, all led by Henry the Navigator at the front. The figures are spread along both sides of a ship, intentionally looking forward and facing the sea.
Outside of viewing the monument itself, there is a large marble wind rose embedded in the pavement containing a world map that illustrates the locations of Portugal's various explorations. There is also a museum with exhibition rooms in the monument, with panoramic views of Lisbon and the Tagus River from its rooftop.

Lady Lever Art Gallery Building
In the Tepidarium, Lawrence Alma-Tadema (_PHONE_)
John Everett Millais, Spring (Apple Blossoms)
The Lady Lever Art Gallery is a museum founded and built by the industrialist and philanthropist William Lever, 1st Viscount Leverhulme and opened in 1922. The museum is a significant surviving example of late Victorian and Edwardian taste. The Lady Lever Art Gallery is set in the garden village of Port Sunlight, close to Liverpool. It houses major collections of fine and decorative art that are an expression of Lord Leverhulme's personal taste and collecting interests. The collection is strongest in British 19th-century painting and sculpture, spilling over to include late 18th-century and early 20th works. There are also important collections of English furniture, Wedgewood, especially jasperware, and Chinese ceramics, and smaller groups of other types of objects, such as Ancient Greek vases and Roman sculpture. The majority of objects were part of the original donation, but the collection has continued to expand at a modest rate.
The Grade II listed gallery is now part of National Museums Liverpool.[1] In 2015 part of the museum was closed for building works, with little of the ceramics collections on display, but most of the other collections. A touring exhibition was visiting museums in Japan and elsewhere. The redeveloped areas are planned to re-open in Spring 2016.[2]
The museum displays mostly mix paintings, sculpture and furniture together, and there are five "Period Rooms" recreating typical period interiors from large houses.
Lever began collecting art in the late 19th century, largely to use in advertising for the popular Sunlight Soap brand (manufactured a few minutes walk from the gallery) that helped to create his fortune. As he grew richer his collections began to expand, his confidence grew as well and had developed a taste for collecting. He mostly collected British art, he was also fascinated by Chinese art i.e. Chinese porcelain,[3] Roman sculpture and Greek vases which he had chosen to collect to show styles that had influenced British artists in the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries.
The Gallery has good representation of several trends in Victorian painting, including the Pre-Raphaelites, both during the period of the Brotherhood and in their subsequent careers. Concern with social conditions, classical revivalism and later historical painting are all represented. There are important works by Millais, Ford Madox Brown, William Holman Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Burne-Jones, Lord Leighton, and many others. The museum has what appears to be the largest display in any museum of paintings by William Etty. Earlier works include those by Turner, Constable, Gainsborough and Reynolds.
Much of the Wedgwood collection was from the collection of Dudley Marjoribanks, 1st Baron Tweedmouth, bought in 1905. This in turn was partly formed from the collection of Charles Darwin, Josiah Wedgwood's grandson. It is probably the best collection of jasperware in the world.[4]
The collection includes:
The Building[edit]
Commissioned in 1913 from architects William and Segar Owen, the Lady Lever Art Gallery was built in the Beaux-Arts style. [5] The building was opened in 1922 by Princess Beatrice, the youngest daughter of Queen Victoria.

Ceres: Operation Stolen Base
Ceres: Operation Stolen Base is a solitaire game depicting the actions of an elite Rebel task force attempting to seize the largest source of water in the Solar System shortly after the outbreak of the Free Mars Revolution. Your task force must defeat the Earth Federation ships in the area and seize the primary surface base. Four increasingly difficult missions must be completed to win the campaign game. Along the way, additional ships arrive and pods are constructed to increase strength and technological capabilities. A unique card system counts down the time remaining and provides challenges and opportunities at every orbit.
In this game the player takes command of a Rebel task force attempting to complete missions critical to securing the Ceres water base. Your success will ensure Mars and other colonies have a major source of water for survival and the Earth Federation will be forced to haul water up the deep and costly gravity well from Earth.
This game is set in the Free Mars universe and is a prequel to the Free Mars boxed game.

Did you know that in Vancouver you can wash your hair with soap but in Montreal you need shampoo? Why? Because Vancouver water is soft and Montreal water is hard. That makes a big difference when it comes to satisfaction with hair washing. Hard water contains dissolved calcium and magnesium ions which react with soap to form a precipitate. This is the classic "bathtub ring." The grayish deposit is bad enough on a tub, but you sure don't want it on the hair. Vancouver has very soft water and soap will suds nicely and will not leave a deposit. In Montreal, on the other hand, the calcium and magnesium in the water will react with soap and form an insoluble scum. The active ingredient in shampoo is a "detergent," which like soap is a long molecule that has one end that is attracted to water and another that dissolves in fat. Dirt is embedded in the oily layer that naturally coats the hair, and the soap or detergent molecules can remove this by anchoring one end in the oil while the other end binds to water. Rinsing then removes the oily layer and the soil it harbours. The big difference between a soap and a detergent is that the detergent does not form a precipitate with calcium or magnesium. And that's why you can use soap in Vancouver to wash your hair but not in Montreal.
Why? Because Vancouver water is soft and Montreal water is hard.

Extracting protein-protein interactions from Medline using the hidden vector state model
A major challenge in text mining for biomedicine is automatically extracting protein-protein interactions from the vast amount of biomedical literature. We have constructed an information extraction system based on the Hidden Vector State (HVS) model for protein-protein interactions. The HVS model can be trained using only lightly annotated data whilst simultaneously retaining sufficient ability to capture the hierarchical structure. When applied in extracting protein-protein interactions, we found that it performed better than other established statistical methods and achieved 61.5% in F-score with balanced recall and precision values. Moreover, the statistical nature of the pure data-driven HVS model makes it intrinsically robust and it can be easily adapted to other domains.


Porting previous plugins
Because of the changes done to support Qt for Python, previous plugins won't work anymore in Substance Designer.
In particular, please note the following:
Plugin loading and unloading
Plugins are now loaded when Substance Designer starts and are unloaded when the Designer exits.
As such, it's not necessary for plugins to inherit from'sdplugins.Plugin' anymore.
For more information, check the Plugin basics section.
Creating user interface elements
Plugins don't need to define a'sdplugins.PluginDesc' anymore.
Instead, plugins can use the new UI manager object and Qt for Python to create any user interface elements they need.
You can find small code samples in the Creating user interface elements section.
Replacing uses of Location Context
The 'SDLocationContext' class has been removed from the Python API.
Plugins can use the UI manager object to access the currently active graph and selection.
You can find some examples in the Accessing graphs and selections section.

Simple logging with Winston and Universe
Wigos brings together Universe and winston to make project logging a snap.
In other words: Winston Goes to Outer Space!
Basic usage is as follows:
var wigos = require('wigos');
var log = wigos('access');
log.info('GET /foobar');
The logger returned is a regular winston logger. Wigos keeps track of loggers by name, returning the same object every time, and centrally manages transports on all loggers.
By default, logging is enabled to the console with level info, and to files in the project's log directory with level verbose. Log files are given the.log extension.
The default transports can be toggled on-the-fly:
Custom transports can also be added or removed from all loggers:
wigos.addTransport(MyTransport, { level: 'info' });
Note that addTransport doesn't take transport instances, only constructor functions, unlike winston's Logger#add. This is because an instance needs to be created for every wigos logger.
Rather than an options hash, you may also provide a function. The function takes as its only argument the logger name requested. For example, the default file logger is created roughly as follows:
wigos.addTransport(winston.transports.File, function(basename) {
 return {
 dirname: universe.log,
 filename: basename + '.log',
 /* … */

Lindsley Hollow is where the runoff from Bear Cub Pond flows down along Route 206. There are rock piles going straight up the hill, in a row, visible from the road.Going uphill, they can still be seen in some spots, even among ferns that are between knee and waist high.Following the row of rock piles, this ominous pile of rocks appears where the row of smaller piles terminates.Here is a close up of the largest rock pile at the base of the large mound of rocks. Notice the stone row at the far upper right corner of the photo (behind the Striped Maple).Using the large Red Maple with the low Y joint (to the left of the stone row) as a reference point, here is a close up of part of the stone row.In the photo above, just behind the stone row, is a small quarry. My suspicion is that the ominous mound was created by the quarry. However, this has left me with more questions than answers. What were they quarrying? If they were quarrying stone for barn foundations, why did they leave so much rock behind? Why do the row piles lead up to the quarry?
There are other rock piles around, not in the row and seemingly separate from the quarry, although nearby.Then the large stone with the piece of feather-and-wedge-split-granite (from the Near Bear Cub Pond post) is just north and downhill from the quarry. The granite, not being indigenous to the area, would not have come from the quarry. Any ideas on what might have gone on here would be welcome.

Translation skill—Shift of perspective (II )[gallery] Second, it is sentence component shift. Sentence component shift refers to one component for the English sentence shifts to the other component of the Chinese sentence. The shift of sentence component ranges from subject, predicate, object, attributive, adverbial to complement. A. You can always tell the somebodies from the nobodies at a cocktail party. The somebodies come late.在鸡尾酒会上人们常常可以看出大人物和无名小卒来。那些 迟到的就是大人物。（Here the subject shifts to predicative, and the predicate shift to subject） B. Cheerful, efficient and warm-hearted, they will do everything to make your journey smooth and comfortable. 他们乐观、能干、热情，总是想方设法使你一路上顺利舒适。 ( Here the adverbial shifts to the predicate ) C. Her presence of mind had not completely deserted her; but she could not have trusted herself to speak. 她还没有完全失去镇静，一时却又找不出话可说。 ( Here the subject " her presence of mind " shifts to the object and the object " her" shifts to the subject) Third, expression mode shift. The differential expressions between English and Chinese results from their distinctive emphasis points. To overcome all these differences and make the translated text be consistent with the customs of the local people, it is necessary for us to transfer this expression mode into the other one. A. There are some measuring units in English, such as score, dozen, decade, quarter, just to name a few, which there is no respective expression in Chinese, so when translating these measuring units into Chinese, we have to shift them. Eg: Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand, signed the Emancipation Proclamation.100 年以前，一位伟大的美国人签署了解放 宣言，我们现在就站在他象征性的庇荫中。 ( Here we have to shift score into twenty years, since there is no respective expression of score in Chinese.) B. As we know, English native speakers and Chinese always express things from different perspectives, that is these two language speakers always emphasis differently when describing the same thing, so when we are translating, we should pay attention to expression customs of the target language, and we need to make the translated text clear and nature to its readers. Eg: She has been a widow only for six months. How do we translate this sentence into Chinese? The source sentence describes the husband's death from the angle the wife. If we translate it according to the expression of the source sentence, then the translated text would be "她只当了 6 个月的寡妇。". When we Chinese see this sentence, we obviously will feel uncomfortable, because it is not accordant to our expression customs. We may even confused that had the wife married another man after her husband just died for half a year. To avoid this confusion, we should shift the English expression mode into Chinese. The correct one is " 她丈夫死了至今才不过半年。"

10 famous open letters that caught the public's imagination
Open letter
Open letters can be a powerful ways to make a point. Below are some of the most famous
A Dutch dad's heartbreaking open letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin following the death of his daughter Elsemiek de Borst on doomed Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 went viral after touching the hearts of people around the world.
Hans de Borst wrote the letter, below, after Elsemiek was killed with 297 others when the Malaysian Airlines jet was blown out of the sky over Ukraine on July 17, 2014.
Open letters can be extremely effective way of making your ideas known — especially in the modern day, when the potential audience is unlimited thanks to the power of the internet.
But they have been used throughout history to make important points, some of which have changed the world, others of which have hit headlines for other reasons.
Here we look at ten other open letters that have captured the public's imagination — and, in some cases, changed the world.
10 Martin Luther King Jr's letter from Birmingham Jail
This letter, also known as The Negro Is Your Brother, was an open letter written by civil rights hero Martin Luther King Jr to his fellow clergymen from inside Birmingham jail, Alabama, in April 1963.
Luther King had been incarcerated there after taking part in marches against racism and racial segregation in the city.
The letter, written on a newspaper and smuggled out the jail by his lawyers before being published, backed the civil rights movement's nonviolent resistance to racism and said people were morally responsible for breaking laws that were unjust.
The letter told of his hope that "the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away".
It was extensively reprinted and helped change the course of the American civil rights fight and helped end racial segregation and discrimination.
9 USA Boxing to Mike Tyson
This open letter from USA Boxing to Mike Tyson was released in October 2013 to try and stop the former sports star from poaching young talent from the potential squad for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
The letter claimed by signing up their young athletes to professional contracts at a young age Tyson was undermining the US Olympic Boxing Team and taking away vital resources that help the youngsters develop as boxers, teach them values and a moral code, and the skills to continue to work after their boxing careers end.
However, the letter didn't go down well in all corners. ESPN called it "sanctimonious", "righteous" and "indignant".
Tyson also issued his own response calling the letter "erroneous" and accused them of "disrespect" and of using his name for publicity rather than contacting him directly.
8 Sinead O'Connor to Miley Cyrus
Irish singer Sinead O'Connor wrote an open letter to new kid on the block Miley Cyrus after the 20-year-old said her highly-sexual Wrecking Ball video was inspired by Sinead's song Nothing Compares 2 U.
Sinead said she wanted to warn Miley she was being 'pimped' by the music industry.
Furore erupted after the letter was released, with singer of The Dresden Dolls Amanda Palmer responding with her own open letter to Sinead O'Connor saying she was "off target" as Miley was making the decisions to be sexual herself.
Sinead then published a string of hard-hitting follow-up letters to Miley explaining her position.
7 Siegfried Sassoon to British military leadership
Sassoon was an English poet, writer and soldier during the First World War. In 1917 he wrote an open letter to the British military leadership protesting against the continuation of war.
Titled Finished with the War: A Soldier's Declaration, it was published in the Press and read out in the British Parliament — causing a massive hoo-ha.
Some critics said Sassoon had committed treason by encouraging defiance against the military leadership.
In it he said: "I believe that [the war] is being deliberately prolonged by those who have the power to end it.
Shortly afterwards he was deemed mentally ill and sent to a mental institution to be treated for 'shell shock'.
6 Emile Zola to Felix Faure (President of France)
One of the most famous open letters of all time, writer Emile Zola's letter entitled J'Accuse! (I accuse!) was written to then President of France Felix Faure in January 1898.
It accused Faure and his government of anti-Semitism and the unlawful jailing of Alfred Dreyfus, a French Army officer, for espionage and treason on questionable evidence.
The letter was published on the front page of French newspaper L'Aurore. It played a big role in shaping public opinion over what is today regarded as a major miscarriage of justice.
Zola fled to England after its publication to avoid being jailed when he was found guilty of libel.
5 Bill Gates' Open Letter to Hobbyists
Gates' open letter to computer hobbyists was written in 1976 — condemning the theft of computer software.
Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft and today the richest man in the world, said hobbyists using software without paying it would harm the computer industry over the long term.
He was prompted to write the letter after people kept copying his firm's Altair BASIC software without him receiving any returns.
Gates said it would put people off investing time and money in developing software in the future — and "stop good software being written".
He said: "As the majority of hobbyists must be aware, most of you steal your software. Hardware must be paid for, but software is something to share. Who cares if the people who worked on it get paid? Is this fair?".
The letter was published in the Homebrew Computer Club Newsletter as well as a string of other magazines.
It prompted a huge debate on how software is developed and sold, paving the way for the computer industry we see today.
4 Mahatma Gandhi's advice to Hitler
Mahatma Gandhi wrote his open letter to Hitler in the build-up to World War II — calling him the "one person in the world who can prevent a war which may reduce humanity to the savage state".
He asked him to follow in his example in deliberately shunning war.
The letter never reached Hitler after the British government intervened — and war broke out less than six weeks later when Germany invaded Poland.
3 Letter on Corpulence, Addressed to the Public
The letter on corpulence, a letter to the public written in booklet form, was penned by undertaker William Banting after he lost weight by switching to a low-carbohydrate diet.
He had been obese when he found out about the diet through a visit do a doctor. The booklet was basically a diet book, which included a plan on how to lose weight like he did.
It also told of other ways he'd tried to lose weight in the past and failed.
The pamphlet became very popular for many years and laid the path for the diet books of today.
2 The family of Emmett Till to Lil' Wayne
Hip-hop star Lil' Wayne was forced to apologise after offending the family of Emmett Till, a 14 year old murdered in Mississippi after allegedly flirting with a white woman, with one of his lyrics.
Wayne likened Till's beating to sex on the remix of Future's song Karate Chop.
The family were so outraged they penned a two-page letter to Wayne accusing him of 'destroying the preservation and legacy of Emmett Till's memory and name'.
It added: "How would you feel if your child was beaten beyond recognition, body mutilated and disfigured, torchered for hours, unnecssarily shot after being BEATEN TO DEATH, lynched in barbed wire weighted down by a 70 pound cotton gin fan and tossed in a river with intent to never be found again?".
Lil wayne was dropped from an advertising campaign with Mountain Dew after fury erupted over the controversy.
The lyric was then removed from the track and Wayne issued an apology, although it was rejected by Emmett Till's relatives.
1 Niels Bohr to the UN
Niels Bohr was one of the the 20th century pre-eminent physicists, winning the Nobel Prize in 1922 for his work on quantum theory and the structure of the atom.
He wrote his open letter to the UN in June 1950, calling for greater international cooperation and monitoring of nuclear energy.
He said that "in placing formidable means of destruction in the hands of man, presented our whole civilization with a most serious challenge".
He called for a centralised committee to be set up to keep tabs on work done on nuclear energy. The letter led to the setting up of the Atomic Energy Agency.

The Blackfriars Bridge over the River Thames was constructed back in Victorian times, and now it's getting a distinctly steampunk facelift with the addition of 4,400 photovoltaic panels. When complete, this installation is expected to be not only the largest solar power array in the United Kingdom, but also the world's largest solar bridge.
The bridge, constructed in 1886, forms the foundation for the new Blackfriars station, which is being upgraded by Network Rail to meet the needs of more passengers and an improved train service. As part of these improvements, a new roof will be added to the historic structure with over 6,000 square meters (around 19,685 square feet) of solar panels.
All this renewable energy will be delivered directly to the Blackfriars rail station, covering 50 percent of the station's energy needs and reducing CO2 emissions by an estimated 511 tons per year. The station will also be pursuing such eco-improvements as a rain harvesting system and solar tubes to allow for more natural lighting throughout the building.
London's Solarcentury is behind the project's solar engineering, working in conjunction with engineers from Jacobs to incorporate solar generation into the station design; the high-efficiency solar modules utilized by the project come courtesy of Sanyo.
