The purpose of the Truancy Reduction Court Program (TRCP) is to improve school attendance and positively affect the youth and their family's attitudes about education through a nurturing approach. Every effort is made to ultimately build a relationship between the family, the school, and the court. Participation in the court's program brings families the added benefit and services of a court‐appointed case manager to determine the reasons for poor attendance, navigate school requirements, facilitate communication, and make referrals for community‐based services when appropriate.
Serving more than 259 youths and their families in the 2022 fiscal year, the TRCP is providing full-service truancy case management and utilizing a proactive approach designed to address the causes of truancy and improve the student's attendance, attachment, and achievement in the school environment. TRP serves as a proactive intervention rather than a punitive reaction.
Maryland's Truancy Reduction Program was first implemented during the 2001 school year. This problem-solving court was created to battle the oppressive volume of youth who were truant during that particular year. It has been widely noted that truant behavior is commonly linked to other forms of delinquency, thus leading to negative contact with law enforcement and subsequent incarceration.
In 2004, the General Assembly created the Truancy Reduction Pilot Program (HB1443) to serve the needs of students and families within Maryland's First Judicial Circuit. Codified at §3‐8C‐01 through §3‐8C‐10, the program, now simply known as the Truancy Reduction Court Program (TRCP), began in Wicomico County in December 2004. It continued to develop throughout the lower eastern shore with the additions of Somerset County (November 2005), Worcester County (January 2007), and Dorchester County (March 2007).
for Success in School and Life
- Set a regular bedtime and morning routine for your child.
- Lay out clothes, make lunches and pack backpacks the night before.
- Discuss the importance of school and attendance with your child.
- Follow the school's attendance policy for absence, late arrival, and early departure.
- Use email to submit absence notes directly to your child's school.
- Avoid appointments and extended trips when school is in session.
- Choose a school club or activity for your child to participate in for fun.
- Meet with your child's teacher or school counselor regularly.
- Download the school communication app to view attendance records regularly.
TRCP is a four-phase, six to nine-month program to engage with and help rehabilitate youth and families that have tolerated, fostered, or recently developed truant behavior by the youth.
Referrals to the Program are initiated upon the receipt of a truancy petition, filed by the local public school system in the county circuit court. The Program is not designed to supplant the initial administrative interventions taken by the local school system. The expectation of the court is that the local school system will continually make all available efforts to address unlawful absenteeism and barriers to attendance prior to the first appearance in court.
Families who have received a truancy petition from the court are encouraged to contact the truancy court case manager assigned to their county of residence.
The first appearance in court shall be for an adjudicatory hearing to determine if the youth is truant. The presiding magistrate shall inform the youth and their family of the purpose of the Program, the expectations of the Court, and deliver an age‐appropriate litany.
Most often immediately after a finding of truancy, the disposition hearing begins to uncover the reasons for truant behavior and determine the appropriateness of the youth and family for Program participation. Additionally, the Public School Liaison will share academic, conduct, and attendance history/challenges to allow the presiding magistrate a more holistic perspective of needs and relevant services.
Upon recommendation of the parties and Program staff, the presiding magistrate may order assessments and services as deemed necessary and the youth/family will formally enter the Program. All entries into the Program (even cases involving previous participants/graduates of the Program) begin at Phase One.
School Attendance in Maryland
Maryland law requires regular school attendance unless a student is excused with a lawful absence. This applies to youth who reside in the state and are five years and older up to the age of 18. Once a child has reached the age of 18, he or she is no longer required by law to be enrolled in school. Md. Code Ann., Educ., §7-301
Under Maryland law, a truant youth is one who is unlawfully absent from school for more than 8 days in any quarter, 15 days in any semester, or 20 days in a school year.
Md. Code Ann., Educ., §7-302.2
An absence, including absence for any portion of the day, for any reason other than those cited as lawful (below) is presumed to be unlawful and may constitute truancy.
Md. Code Regs. 13A.08.01.04
Students presently enrolled in public schools are considered lawfully absent from school, including absence for any portion of the day, only under the following conditions:
- Death in the immediate family. The local school system shall determine what relationships constitute the immediate family.
- Illness of the student. The principal or a pupil personnel worker shall require a physician's certificate from the parent or guardians of a student reported continuously absent for illness.
- Pregnancy and parenting-related conditions as determined by the local school system, including absences due to:
- Labor, delivery, recovery, and prenatal and postnatal medical appointments;
- Illness or a medical appointment of the student's child; and
- A legal appointment involving the pregnant or parenting student related to family law proceedings, including adoption, custody, and visitation.
- Court summons.
- Hazardous weather conditions. Hazardous weather conditions shall be interpreted to mean weather conditions which would endanger the health or safety of the student when in transit to and from school.
- Work approved or sponsored by the school, the local school system, or the State Department of Education, accepted by the local superintendent of schools or the school principal, or their designees as reason for excusing the students.
- Observance of a religious holiday.
- State emergency.
- Lack of authorized transportation. This does not include students denied authorized transportation for disciplinary reasons.
- Other emergency or set of circumstances which, in the judgment of the superintendent or designee, constitutes a good and sufficient cause for absence from school.

Emotions in sheep
Sheep love company. Researchers have found that sheep can remember the faces of 50 other sheep for at least two years.
Like humans, sheep also seem to find familiar faces comforting. Researchers found that when sheep were socially isolated the sight of familiar sheep face pictures compared with those of goats or inverted triangles significantly reduced behavioural and physiological measures of stress.
Researchers have also found that sheep can recognise emotions in facial expression, not only in their species but also in humans.
Dr Keith Kendrick at Cambridge University and colleagues have discovered that sheep prefer smiling or relaxed human faces, over angry or stressed ones.
"Sheep are able to recognise faces that differ by less than 5% so we thought perhaps they could recognise emotions which are much more subtle," Dr Kendrick said. "It turns out they can, both human, smiling versus angry; and sheep, stressed versus calm."
Scientists presented the sheep with two doors they could push open to gain food. On one would be a picture of a smiling human or a happy sheep, on the other an angry human or a stressed out sheep. "They vastly preferred to press the smiling human or the animal that has just had a meal and is feeling all right with life," said Dr Kendrick.
The research has wide reaching implications for animal welfare. Dr Kendrick said: "This does open up the possibility that they have much richer emotional lives than we would give them credit for. If sheep, which in terms of domestic animals tend to be right down the bottom of the league table for intelligence, can do this then the likelihood is that other species can too."
When there is no common verbal language between people we can look at a person's facial expressions and use these to assess how he or she is feeling. Expression of emotions in humans has been extensively studied through changes in facial features. Of course the more different an animal and its' face is to a human the more difficult this method becomes.
It has been shown that individual recognition in farmed animals such as sheep and cattle is partly based on facial features. Researchers have now borrowed techniques used in human psychology to study sheep's facial features and postures and attempted to find convenient physical indicators to reliably infer their emotions.
Compared to other mammals sheep have more simple facial muscles and thus don't appear to have a wide array of facial expressions. However, they do have several muscles for rotating their ears. The researchers investigated whether measuring ear postures in sheep could be used to accurately infer their emotions.
Previous studies have shown that sheep appear to have the potential to feel a wide range of emotions, including fear, anger, rage and despair. The researchers now found that they could link specific ear postures with specific emotional experiences.
For example, the backward ear posture which is associated with unfamiliar and uncontrollable unpleasant situations could express fear, the raised ear posture displayed in response to an unfamiliar but controllable unpleasant situation could characterise anger and the asymmetric ear posture that is mainly displayed in response to sudden situations could express surprise. These findings support the intuitive knowledge of people such as farmers who work closely with sheep and have learnt to understand their expressions.
The researchers believe it's safe to assume that sheep do not only show emotions but also 'feel' them too.
The researchers noted that interpretation of ear postures could be used to assess and improve farming practices from the viewpoint of sheep by helping us to understand what a given animal is feeling at a certain time. Also, findings from assessment of emotional states in sheep may be readily transferable to other closely related prey species.
Other scientists take a more holistic approach to assessing how animals are feeling by looking at their whole bodies and behaviour rather than focussing on certain features.
This experiment, and other like it, show that by adapting and applying models developed for humans in a manner appropriate for each different species, we can increase our knowledge about the emotions other animals can feel.

Gates Safety Measures & Equipment
In recent years a number of changes have occured in relation to automated gate systems. These changes have come about due to a number of incidents involving the automated gates. The type of safety measure that each gate requires depends on the type of gate, method of operation and location of the gate.
Below are the measures that can be installed onto existing gate systems
Photocells are installed both on the gate posts and at the end of the gate swing. If either of these devices infra red beam are broken then the operation of the gate will stop. This is to stop the gate opening or closing onto objects or people that have broken the beam
Safety edges are designed so that any sort of pressure on these devices will stop the operation of the gate. These devices are placed along the bottom on both sides of the gate so if any object is on the floor in the swing of the gate it will stop when hits this object. The safety edge is also placed on the leading edge of the gate to prevent the gate from shutting onto objects or people.

Quick Answer: What Is The Role Of Mannitol And Phenol Red In MSA?
What does a red color symbolize in a MSA plate?
Bacteria growing on mannitol salt agar are positive for mannitol fermentation if the culture medium under their colonies is changed from its normal red color to yellow, indicating acidic growth products.
Bacteria unable to use mannitol usually change the medium to a magenta color in the vicinity of growth..
What Bacteria grows on MSA?
Does E coli grow on MSA?
(A) Staphylococcus aureus, (B) Staphylococcus epidermidis, and (C) Escherichia coli streaked on a mannitol salt agar plate. … The growth of E. coli was inhibited by the high salt concentration.
What is the application of MSA?
Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) is used as a selective and differential medium for the isolation and identification of Staphylococcus aureus from clinical and non-clinical specimens. It encourages the growth of a group of certain bacteria while inhibiting the growth of others.
What does an MSA plate test for?
Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) is used to determine if the bacteria is halophilic (salt loving) and if the bacteria can ferment mannitol. If the bacteria is able to grow then it is a halophilic bacteria, due to it's ability to grow in a high salt environment.
Can gram negative bacteria grow on MSA?
The MSA agar will retain its initial red color and will not change to yellow. Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli and P. aeriginosa are not tolerant to salt (not halophilic) and will not grow colonies on MSA (see quadrants II and IV).
What is the role of phenol red in MSA?
If an organism can ferment mannitol, an acidic byproduct is formed that causes the phenol red in the agar to turn yellow. It is used for the selective isolation of presumptive pathogenic (pp) Staphylococcus species.
What ingredient makes MSA selective?
Mannitol salt agar is selective due to the presence of 7.5% sodium chloride (NaCl).
Would removal of sodium chloride from MSA?
Answer and Explanation: Yes, the removal of sodium chloride from MSA will alter the medium's sensitivity or specificity to a great extent.
How does the NaCl IN MSA kill organisms?
Provides the substrate for fermentation and makes the medium differential. What does the NaCl contained in MSA do? Makes the medium selective because its concentration is high enough to dehydrate and kill most bacteria. … Indicates whether fermentation has taken place by changing color as the pH changes.
What will turn MSA yellow?
What is the role of sodium chloride in MSA and how does it work?
Answer and Explanation: Sodium chloride is used in MSA to provide the essential fermentation substrate. It limits the growth of most organisms apart from bacteria in mixed…

Morocco increases water reserves
Morocco's dam reservoirs reached 69 percent capacity as of March 18, 2004, holding a total 10.2 billion cubic meters of water, up seven percent compared to the same month last year, reported MAP.
According to the secretariat of state in charge of water, the rise in reserves is due to the high level of rainfall recorded between September 1, 2003 and March 18, 2004.
In 2001, Morocco embarked on an initiative to construct nine new major dams and eight mid-size dams by 2004, in an effort to alleviate water shortages in the country. The agricultural sector in Morocco consumes about 80 percent of the available water in the Kingdom, estimated at 14 billion cubic meters. — (menareport.com)

A study conducted by Element Six, a specialist in synthetic diamond supermaterials, along with scientists from the Departments of Chemistry and Physics at the University of Warwick, has revealed that boron-doped synthetic diamond materials can be suitable for a new generation of electrochemical applications.
The research shows that boron-doped synthetic diamond has outstanding electrochemical properties while retaining the full strength and durability of its chemical structure.
The study shows that the materials have excellent electrochemical properties and retain the durability and strength of their chemical structure.
According to the research findings, the quantity of boron doping in the synthetic diamond together with a decrease in graphitic content, makes the material an ideal choice for the analysis of electrochemical reactions in a broad measurement range.
Element Six developed the high quality synthetic diamond samples that were used in the research by using chemical vapour deposition (CVD), and optimized them mainly for electrochemical applications. The collaborative research discovered that it was possible to dope the synthetic diamond material with considerably high levels of boron to allow metal electrode-like behavior, and simultaneously restrain the creation of graphitic carbon elements to below detectable levels. Thus, an optimized material is provided by the team which maximizes the series of analytes that can be found in solution along with reduced detection limits. The enhanced boron-doped electrodes will facilitate the development of electrochemical sensors with improved reliability, selectivity and sensitivity.
The technical research on synthetic diamond material was performed by the Element Six's UK-based R&D team and the electrochemical studies were conducted by the University of Warwick's Electrochemistry and Interfaces Group.

What can be said about a glaze? Plenty! We have all been in the position of trying to describe our favorite glaze to another potter or to ourselves. If the actual glaze is not present, the verbal account can leave a lot to the imagination, which can produce an inaccurate image. The glaze description language is an agreed-upon meaning to the many characteristics found in glazes. It uses several key words and phrases to define a glaze. The idea, as with all languages, is that everyone understands what is meant by the standardized terms that classify a glaze. The glaze description language allows the listener or reader to formulate an accurate mental image of how the fired glaze looks and functions.
One area of potential error occurs when writing or describing glazes. Many potters still refer to a glaze formula by its popular name. For example, we have all called glazes Randy's Red or Bob's Blue. While there is a certain personal and informal quality in referring to glazes in such a manner, it can lead to numerous inaccuracies in exchanging or understanding glaze formulas. Just referring to a glaze by its common name does not tell us enough about its characteristics, such as color, texture or light transmission. As an added potential for error, the actual glaze formula for Randy's Red could have changed many times since Randy developed the glaze. Identifying glazes only by their names is an inaccurate attempt to transfer information and can indicate a potter's lack of knowledge about glaze formulas.
Even potters who know better are still drawn into the easy habit of referring to a glaze only by its name. However, there is another method that can transfer information with greater accuracy. Once the vocabulary is known, it makes the task of explaining how a glaze looks much easier, faster and more accurate. We're not talking about deciphering Sanskrit or Egyptian hieroglyphics; just a few simple categories can add to the enjoyment of making and describing ceramic glazes.
Keep in mind there are no set rules about the number of terms to use in describing a glaze. However, it is critical that any terms used have some universal understanding among potters. In addition, too many descriptive terms can be overly cumbersome to use in actual practice. Many potters choose only those descriptions that accurately focus on their particular glaze. Listed are several characteristics that will define a glaze in specific terms.
Firing Temperature: c/06, c/6, c/9
The firing temperature or pyrometric cone rating is critical in the description of any glaze. The three most common temperature ranges used today in ceramics are c/06 (1830°F), c/6 (2232°F) and c/9 (2336°F). Most clay body and glaze formulas have been developed around these temperature ranges. Published glaze and clay body formulas also fall within these widely used pyrometer cone and temperatures.
Preparation: Frit or Raw Oxides
Frits are manufactured from specific raw oxides, which are calcined or fired in a molten mass, cooled and then ground into a fine powder. Frits are frequently used in low-, mediumand some high-temperature glazes, acting as a major flux or glass former. A raw glaze is composed of non-fritted ceramic materials such as feldspars, clays, dolomite, whiting, zinc, talc, magnesium carbonate, and other naturally occurring raw materials.
Composition: Lead, Alkaline and Alkaline Earth
The composition of any glaze can determine its surface texture, light transmission, viscosity when molten, and color development when used with stains or metallic coloring oxides. The major (but not only) ingredients in glazes fall within three broad categories: lead-based glazes containing lead; alkaline-based glazes containing feldspars and/or frits; and alkaline earth-based glazes containing calcium, magnesium, barium, strontium and beryllium.
Texture: Gloss, Satin Matt, Dry Matt
The fired glaze can develop gloss, satin matt or a dry surface texture. A gloss surface is shiny and smooth to the touch. A satin matt surface is similar to a satin ribbon, with a semi-smooth surface texture, while a dry matt glaze can have a gritty surface. The surface texture of the glaze is not to be confused with its light transmission qualities.
Light Transmission: Transparent, Semi-Opaque, Opaque
The ability of light to penetrate the glaze layer determines whether the glaze is transparent, semi-opaque or opaque.
Color: Green, Yellow, Red, Blue, etc.
Glazes can be formulated in any color using stains or metallic coloring oxides. Color is often one of the major defining characteristics in describing any glaze.
Special Effects: Wood, Soda, Salt, Raku, Luster
Glazes can be developed for wood, soda, salt, luster, Raku or any number of applications or firing techniques.
Application: Sprayed, Dipped, Brushed
A glaze can be sprayed, dipped or brushed on the ware. The application method can also play a part in the total fired glaze effect.
Atmosphere: Oxidation, Neutral, Reduction
A glaze can be fired in an oxidation atmosphere (more air than fuel present in combustion), a neutral atmosphere (equal amounts of air and fuel), or a reduction atmosphere (more fuel than air present in combustion). The kiln atmosphere can alter any of the above glaze characteristics depending on the particular glaze formula and kiln firing cycle.
Glaze Hardness: Soft, Hard
While not typically a glaze characteristic that is noted, some fired glazes can be described as either hard or soft in their resistance to abrasion or solubility.
While it is not necessary (or, in many instances, required) to use every glaze description characteristic, an example would be: I am currently firing a c/9, fritted, alkaline, gloss, transparent, blue, soda-fired, sprayed glaze in a reduction atmosphere, and it has a hard-fired surface. More frequently, a description of this same glaze would be stated as: I am currently firing c/9/reduction, gloss, transparent blue, soda-fired glaze.
Standardization in describing glazes leads to accuracy in talking and writing about glazes, all of which can create a greater understanding of ceramic materials. Disseminating accurate glaze information to other potters will also prevent many glaze defects that are caused by the misidentification of glaze characteristics.


Dividing small businesses in divorce can be difficult, complex and of course contentious. This is usually because the business is the family's largest asset, and the parties may have very different views about what it is worth, as well as their respective shares. One party may believe that the business is failing and is only a fraction of its perceived value, whereas the other party may insist that it is a budding enterprise that is worth much more than is being explained. These views can be especially difficult if only one party primarily owns or operates the business, for the other may believe that they are being denied their fair share of the proceeds.
When emotions drive each party's sense of entitlement, costly litigation is a certainty. However, the following tips can help parties properly value a business, determine how it should be divided in divorce and avoid further acrimony over their rightful share.
First and foremost, it is important to understand the difference between a business as "property" as opposed to "income." A business labeled as property (such as a rental property) is subject to Illinois' asset division laws and will be divided as such. A business known for its income (such as a doctor's private practice) will invariably lead to spousal maintenance payments based on the revenue produced by the business. Some businesses may be considered both "property" and "income." In these instances, the two must be separated to avoid double dipping (i.e., dividing the business and then paying maintenance based on the income from it).
Also, finding the valuation method appropriate for your business is critical. The fair market value method assesses a business' worth by determining what it would sell for on the open market. Essentially, a valuation is reached by comparing values of similar businesses or comparable sales. Some businesses are valued through the capitalization of earnings method, which considers the business' prospective rate of return, its history of earnings and the risks involved. Regardless of the method used, the higher the business value, the more each party stands to receive.
Ultimately, dividing a small business can be a very complicated process. An Illinois divorce attorney with a business background can advise you on what method would be appropriate for your business.

Vietnam ecological tourism development to protect forest biodiversity
The development of ecological tourism is considered a helpful way to protect natural resources in national parks and reserves in Vietnam, according to a seminar held in Da Lat, central highlands Lam Dong province, on April 9.
According to the participants, Vietnam has a great potential to develop eco-tourism in combination with natural resource preservation. The country possesses 30 national parks and 56 natural reserves, home to over 13,760 species of plants and 7,730 species of animals.
However, they said, the precious system of natural reserves has constantly been hurt by inhabitants living around. Nearly 80 percent of the population living close to the natural reserves in Vietnam are living in poverty and their lives are depending on unplanned forest exploitation, thus damaging the forest biodiversity.
Some delegates stressed the need to improve the living conditions for people living on edges of forests in order to ensure the success for the plan to develop eco-tourism and protect natural reserves.
The seminar was initiated by the Worldwide Fund for Nature Vietnam Programme, and the Bidoup-Nui Ba National Park of Lam Dong province.

A New Power: Photography in Britain 1800–1850
The announcement of photography's invention in January 1839, first in Paris and then in London, introduced a 'new power' into British life. This new power – derived from photography's capacity to automatically capture the images created in a camera – was soon being used for every conceivable purpose.
A New Power: Photography and Britain _PHONE_ explores the early history of photography, starting with the invention of the medium and the earliest dissemination of photographic images in Britain and ending with the famous Great Exhibition of 1851. It examines the broad range of uses that photography would quickly come to fill, from documenting the invention of celebrity to the very first 'travel photography' and how this helped to shore up colonial sensibilities.
By showing how photography intersected with all aspects of a nascent modernity, A New Power reveals photography's crucial role in making Britain the society it is today.

Vientiane Stories and Tips
Baci Ceremony in Laos
Baci Ceremony, Vientiane
We were invited to take part in our own Baci Ceremony while we were in Vientiane. Prior to our own ceremony I knew nothing about what happened or why they had the ceremonies.
In Laos a Baci ceremony is carried out for both sad and happy events so it might be for a marriage, a birth of a child, a funeral/death, a welcome home, before or after major exams and before a long journey could all be reasons for a Baci ceremony.
There is no specific day or time for a Baci ceremony but just before noon or sunset appears to be a preferred time. The idea of the ceremony is a calling of the soul or in Laos "su kwan" also spelt 'sou khuan'.
The idea of kwan is the soul of a person but more than that; vital life force of any being. In Laos it was believed in ancient times that humans consisted of thirty two parts and these were watched over by kwan. The human works best when all his kwan are in the body and the idea of the Baci ceremony is to call all the kwan back to the body from wherever they have wandered off to.
The Pha kwan or Pha Khuan
When we arrived in the middle of the floor was a wonderful creation called the pha kwan. This is made from banana leaves, marigolds and white threads. It is wider at the bottom like a pyramid and must take hours to create. This creation is usually made by older woman in the village or community.
This flower creation is set on a white cloth in the middle of the room. The person who is to carry out the ceremony sits cross legged in front of the pha kwan and he is called a maw pawn or mohkwan or mor phon. The maw pawn is usually an elderly man, often an ex monk and he chants the sort of poetry during the ceremony. The maw pawn also knows the auspicious days when it is best to hold a Baci ceremony and that is worked out by using the lunar phases.
Around the pha kwan were a couple of sweets and dried and fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs which represent the foetus, a stalk of bananas which represented the community and each fruit being member s of that community, a whole boiled chicken with head feet and claws and finally as a bottle of Laolao whisky for purification.
Our Ceremony
We had to sit on the carpet around the pha kwan and the white strings that were attached to the pha kwan were taken and handed to each of us to hold. The maw pawn also held one white string too. And began his Buddhist or animist chanting which is him calling the wandering spirits back to the body.
The ceremony began by the maw pawn lighting a candle on the top of the Pha Kwan and then those taking part in the ceremony my husband and I laid our hands palm down at the edge of the pha kwan. The maw pawn then brushed our hands with the white strings saying "hai kuard nee, dee kuard kao" meaning "bad is swept out, good is swept in".
The next stage was he took the white strings and gave us each one to hold and he also held one end and he chanted some more and this was asking our spirits to receive the blessings.We then held the string between our palms while he continued to chant.
We were then told to say "ma der khuan euy" whixh according to our guide means "please come spirits". He then threw some bits of rice in the air over us. These rice grains we were told represented the spirits and the good luck that we had asked for in the ceremony.
After the chanting the maw pawn then tied the strings around our wrists. If this had been a big ceremony such as a pre wedding ceremony then everybody would have then come forward to tie a string around the wrists of the couple taking part. I think about three or four strings were tied around each of our wrists. As these strings were tied around our wrists he chanted some more words which were a sort of concluding blessing.
The final part of the ceremony was that the maw pawn poured a little shot of Laolao into small glasses and we each had one. This concluded the ceremony and we were instructed to keep the white strings on our wrists for at least three days and longer if we wanted our lost spirits to have the best chance of returning to us.
We got up to leave and we told that we were to take the beautiful pha kwan home with us. We sadly only had one more night in Vientiane so we took it back and had it in our hotel room for one night and then left it for the cleaner the next day so hopefully it might return her spirits too.
I kept my strings on for the rest of our holiday so hopefully all my spirits have returned to me. My husband took his off when we left Laos which was at least three days so I think he has been balanced too.
I found the ceremony really interesting. I am not sure i fully understand the whole thing. I am certain I understood not a word of the chanting but it was done with ceremony and was very serious too. The maw pawn didn't speak to us at all except when doing his chanting and after the ceremony he disappeared very quickly. Out guide was greta and explained a lot of what went on to us so that we understood the ceremony and what happened a bit better than just sitting through it.
My husband can't bend his knees and sit on the floor so he really struggled as you are meant to kneel and sit on your heels or sit cross legged and he can do neither so sort of had his legs bent to the side. This is something to consider if you have problems like this. You have to sit for about twenty minutes so my legs were just beginning to get pins and needles when we finished.
I thought it was lovely that we got to keep the pha Kwan and such a shame we only got to enoy it for one night. I hope the hotel cleaning staff got some pleasure out of it as so much work had gone into making it.
I am sure we paid for this in our tour but I am not sure what it cost. Selective Asia put together our itinerary for us and worked out all the flights etc while we just told them what we wanted to do.

The i-Pro's Radial Consistency
Radial consistency is the shaft's ability to reproduce the same results, regardless of its orientation. This means the shaft will perform more predictably from shot to shot. The i-Pro's Octadic Laminated Shaft Construction, combined with its Triple-Layer Carbon Fiber Core, makes it the most radial consistent shaft we've ever made.
Octadic Laminated Shaft Construction
The Octadic Laminated Shaft Construction features eight spliced pieces of premium maple that are bonded together to form our most radial consistent shaft yet. This construction method drastically reduces the performance inconsistencies caused by natural wood grain. This technology maximizes energy transfer from the shaft into the cue ball at impact, allowing you to generate a higher spin rate while hitting closer to center cue ball.
Triple-Layer Carbon Fiber Core
The i-Pro's Triple-Layer Carbon Fiber Core extends the full-length of the shaft (from ferrule to joint), stabilizing the entire shaft for absolute control and predictability. This technology increases radial consistency, reduces vibration and virtually eliminates the inconsistencies found in a traditional maple shaft.

We study fundamental groups of projective varieties with normal crossing singularities and of germs of complex singularities. We prove that for every finitely-presented group G there is a complex projective surface S with simple normal crossing singularities only, so that the fundamental group of S is isomorphic to G. We use this to construct 3-dimensional isolated complex singularities so that the fundamental group of the link is isomorphic to G. Lastly, we prove that a finitelypresented group G is Q-superperfect (has vanishing rational homology in dimensions 1 and 2) if and only G if is isomorphic to the fundamental group of the link of a rational 6-dimensional complex singularity.

Part of Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 31 (NeurIPS 2018)
Moez Draief, Konstantin Kutzkov, Kevin Scaman, Milan Vojnovic
We present novel graph kernels for graphs with node and edge labels that have ordered neighborhoods, i.e. when neighbor nodes follow an order. Graphs with ordered neighborhoods are a natural data representation for evolving graphs where edges are created over time, which induces an order. Combining convolutional subgraph kernels and string kernels, we design new scalable algorithms for generation of explicit graph feature maps using sketching techniques. We obtain precise bounds for the approximation accuracy and computational complexity of the proposed approaches and demonstrate their applicability on real datasets. In particular, our experiments demonstrate that neighborhood ordering results in more informative features. For the special case of general graphs, i.e. graphs without ordered neighborhoods, the new graph kernels yield efficient and simple algorithms for the comparison of label distributions between graphs.

3 Routine Costs Associated with Running a GP Surgery
Running a GP surgery is an important and vital role within the community. Because there are so many people that depend on your GP surgery, you need to ensure that you are running things properly from a financial perspective so that you can continue to give people the quality healthcare that they need on a regular basis.
GP surgery
If you are in the process of creating a budget for a new GP surgery, or even if you are currently evaluating the budget of your existing surgery, there are a number of routine costs that you are going to need to factor in and bear in mind.
Here are three such costs for you to consider as you create your budget.
1. Disposable Medical Supplies
Every medical facility now more than ever before is making use of disposable supplies like aprons, masks, gloves, and other PPE (personal protection equipment). While those within the medical community are no strangers to using PPE on a regular basis, the current situation that has unfolded over the last year has made it absolutely necessary to use such disposable equipment even more frequently than before.
Moreover, patients and visitors to your GP surgery are also required to use PPE as well as hand sanitizer. This has made it necessary for GP surgeries to factor such things into their own budget. Make sure that you have the cost of these and all of your other disposable GP Surgery Supplies factored into your monthly budget.
2. Equipment Maintenance
Aside from disposable medical equipment, your GP surgery is going to have plenty of other medical equipment on hand. Things like blood pressure cuffs, examination couches and beds, and diagnostic kits that include otoscopes need to be maintained properly so that they can be relied upon to work whenever they are required.
Since these items play such an integral role in the day-to-day operations of your surgery, you need to replace them whenever they fall into disrepair and take measure to maintain them so as to extend their lifetime. It is important to remember, though, that sooner or later, such things will need to be replaced entirely, and your budget needs to reflect that.
3. IT
When you think of a GP surgery, your mind might not initially jump to IT. However, all medical practices these days must use their fair share of technology in order to keep their practice running smoothly. Such software as can help to schedule appointments, keep medical records current, and act as cybersecurity to keep such records safe and secure.
Many GPs are also turning to online consultation forms in order to help alleviate the workload on the surgery itself. Such online forms can help patients get the advice and guidance they need without necessarily having to see the doctor. Such technology can go a long way to helping to improve the operations of your practice but bear in mind that they do come at a cost.

Its source is a Latin expression meaning "Soldier."
The name Myles ranked 295th in popularity for males of all ages in a sample of 2000-2003 Social Security Administration statistics and 813th in popularity for males of all ages in a sample of the 1990 US Census.
Though this name appears on the 1990 U.S. Census lists, it is used by only a small percentage of the general population.
Latin may be the source of the Germanic form, Milo, that this name assumed in the Middle Ages. Nothing is certain about this derivation, however, and speculation on the ultimate source ranges from the Hebrew name Michael to the Slovonic name element mil (grace).


text: Turbulent combustion involves many interdependent variables evolving over a wide range of length and time scales. Due to the tremendous computational cost required to solve equations for all of these variables over all relevant length scales, reduced-order models are required for predictive simulations of engineering systems. Common approaches to reduced-order combustion modeling include physically-informed methods of dimension reduction, such as Flamelet Generated Manifolds (FGM) and the Flamelet/Progress Variable model (FPV), and, more recently, data-driven dimension reduction, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA). While the accuracy of both approaches has been previously assessed, they have not been directly compared or used in conjunction with one another. To this end, this work examines both how insights from physically-derived reduced-order manifolds (PDROM) can be used to benchmark data-driven approaches and how the data-driven approaches can be used to validate the assumptions of PDROM models, using data from Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of premixed and nonpremixed turbulent flames and from one-dimensional flame calculations. PCA assumes a linear structure and therefore cannot achieve as large of a dimension reduction as PDROM while maintaining accuracy. While nonlinear dimension-reduction methods perform similarly to PDROM, these methods suffer from a lack of physical interpretability that would make implementation impractical. However, the data-driven approaches are successfully used to assess the critical assumptions of the physical models, with the similarity of principal components between different data sets validating structural similarity between the DNS and one-dimensional flame data.

Philly Youth Radio won a $600 grant at Stake #6
Philly Youth Radio
1. Describe the project a STAKE Grant would help you accomplish (100 words):
Philly Youth Radio (PYR) is a project that works with a diverse group of local high school students to produce radio stories about their lives and communities. Through a series of intensive radio workshops, students work closely with professional radio producers to create broadcast-quality stories that have been aired on major media outlets. Our hope is that these stories will promote intergenerational, intercultural dialogue, as well as better understanding about young people's experiences and contributions in this city. PYR runs project-to-project and a STAKE grant would move us one step forward in beginning our third season.
2. How will you use the grant toward the realization of your project? $750 is your imaginary budget (50 words):
For PYR's third season, we plan to teach a series of intensive radio production workshops in which we pair youth radio apprentices with adult students to create collaborative audio/visual stories about love and relationships.
Youth radio apprentice stipends: $400
Teaching materials: $150
Outreach materials/listening showcase: $100
3. A little about yourself and what led you to your current creative goals. This may include a previous project of yours, ways it both succeeded and failed (this can be entirely unrelated to your proposal) (100 words):
Yowei Shaw is a freelance reporter and audio producer. Beth Patel is an independent audio producer and youth advocate. PYR's first installment, "Students of Violence," has been featured on alt.NPR's YouthCast, Generation PRX, WHYY, and other media outlets. The overwhelming response to our first project prompted a second "season" of PYR in 2012, titled "Teen Sanctuaries." Our main challenges include a shortage of time and funding. We feel that we could create better stories with our students if we had more time to work on them together. However, without adequate funding, we make do with the time that we have.
4. Why is this project important? How will it benefit the community? (100 words):
This project helps project the voices of young people in our communities. We ask students to discuss issues that matter to them and then help share their stories on a larger stage. Throughout the process, students improve their writing, editing, and voicing – skills that will be useful long after the project has ended. Most importantly, our students learn to collaborate with adults in a reporter/editor relationship formed through mutual respect and dedication to the best story possible. We feel that our students are leaders in their respective communities and that PYR is important to shaping that leadership.

Battle of Harlaw
24th July 1411
In origin the battle of Harlaw was a feudal dispute, but it must be viewed in the context of growing late medieval conflict between Highland and Lowland. The situation was also complicated by the fact that King James I was imprisoned in England and thus royal authority was weak. Donald, Lord of the Isles, having fought for control of Ross, now planned to strike south east into Moray, towards Aberdeen. But there was substantial warning of the impending campaign and so defensive preparations were put in hand by the Earl of Mar in the spring and early summer of 1411.
As soon as he was aware of the approach of the Highland forces, Mar marshalled his troops at Inverurie. The Highland forces camped on the night of the 23rd July on high ground near Harlaw. On the morning of the 24th the Earl of Mar marched out of Inverurie to engage the Highland army.
It appears to have been an intense and close run fight but the sources provide little detail and there is even conflict over the outcome, with both sides claiming victory. What is clear is that Aberdeen was successfully defended and the Highland forces departed without causing significant destruction in the region.

Order of Calatrava
Order of Calatrava, in full Military Order of Calatrava, Spanish Orden Militar de Calatrava, major military and religious order in Spain. The order was originated in 1158 when King Sancho III of Castile ceded the fortress of Calatrava to Raymond, abbot of the Cistercian monastery of Fitero, with instructions to defend it against the Moors. The order of knights and monks who defended the fort was formally recognized by the pope in 1164, and it became closely affiliated with the Cistercian abbey of Morimond in 1187.

Listen to war stories at the Fries Verzetsmuseum. Touching and confrontational stories that make you think.
War up close
Experience the impact World War II had on Friesland. In this museum, you will get to know the people that lived in Friesland in the early 1940s. Frisians and non-Frisians alike share their experiences of the war from the vantage point of the countryside of Friesland. They faced resistance and persecution but, luckily, did not have to deal with famine (Dutch famine of 1944–1945). However, Friesland saw many refugees that had traveled a long way to find milk and food.
Resisting the occupation
The museum focuses on topics such as the air war over Friesland, the resistance movement and hiding from the Germans. The history of the spectacular raid on the jail in Leeuwarden by the Frisian resistance plays a key role in the exhibition.

Why become a dormant company?
Although many businesses in the UK are constantly trading, some people choose to form or become a dormant company.
A dormant company is a business that has seen no significant economic activity during an accounting period, thus it stops trading; you can read more about dormant associations in our Transmit Start Ups guide. Here are some reasons why you might want to become a dormant company:
Future proofing
Preparation is key if you want your start-up or small business to succeed, thus if you have an idea for a trading company or are working toward starting a business you may want to open a dormant company. This way, whenever you are ready to begin trading you can jump right in, and begin growing your brand, but, in the meantime, you won't have to worry about filing detailed accounts for your dormant company. Furthermore, you may want to form a dormant company to pit your competitors at the post. Everyone knows the value of a good business idea and even a strong company name. So, why not prevent people from stealing your thunder and incorporate your stellar business today?
A trading break
Many businesses don't start their lives as dormant companies. Sometimes, an actively trading company may decide they want to take a break, and become dormant. Becoming a dormant company is helpful if you intend to continue trading in future. It simplifies the entire administration process, as you should submit abridged accounting forms to Companies House each year, which is less detailed, and so time-saving. Furthermore, it will also reduce the cost compared to if you remained a limited company, as dormant companies are not tax liable. Becoming dormant is also not as much hassle as dissolving your business – especially if there is a chance that you are likely to incorporate a similar business in future.
Some businesses may look to become dormant, for a period, if they hit any significant hurdles during their lifetime. For example, if the owner or director of the company falls ill or dies, a business may become temporarily dormant in order to assess the situation, and appoint new company officers. A company may also undergo a restructuring, and – as a result – no trading will be taking place, thus becoming dormant is a cheaper and more sensible solution. Furthermore, if a business is winding up then it may also choose to become dormant until its end to tie up any loose ends.
Holding assets
Finally, some people choose to register a dormant company so that they can hold a particular asset. For example, in the housing industry, one company – a dormant company – may hold several flats, while a larger, umbrella company handles the leasing. Thus, the holding company remains dormant, as it does not partake in any significant economic activity.

You can clean by yourself your butcher block table tops, of course it will be very important to do because it is helpful very much adding nicer look in your room. Monetarily fabricated butcher block was presented in the 1880s as a sterile option to the conventional utilization of blocks slice from trees on which to cut meats. Hard maple turned into a favored surface for its strength and tight wood grains. Modern butcher block table tops is solid and alright for nourishment readiness and is accessible in sizes from little slicing sheets to full-kitchen table tops.
1. Purge butcher block table tops completely with dish-washing cleanser and water after each one utilization. Wood assimilates nourishment smells, oils and microbes from crude meat making it basic to legitimately clean.
2. Blend a gentle arrangement of 1 tbsp. fade into 1 gallon of warm water. Wash the table top with a clean wipe, flush, then wipe dry to further scrub microscopic organisms.
3. Stains butcher block table top with lemon juice. Flush and wipe dry.
4. Shake salt onto adamant stains and after that rub with the cut edge of a large portion of a lemon. For harder stains, attempt 3-percent hydrogen peroxide blended with water. Wash altogether and wipe dry.
5. Scratch the butcher block table tops each one night with a metal spatula or scrubber to evacuate waiting smells or stains.

CHICAGO – March 3, 2016 – STATS LLC, the world's leading sports technology, data and content company, will have newly appointed Director of Data Science, Patrick Lucey, presenting a paper at the 2016 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference Research Track Final.
The paper, written by Felix Wei, Patrick Lucey, Stuart Morgan, Machar Reid and Sridha Sridharan, is a collaboration between STATS newly-formed Data Science Team, the Australian Institute of Sport, Tennis Australia and Queensland University of Technology. The paper will be presented as a finalist in the conference's prestigious Research Paper Competition.
The paper, entitled The Thin Edge of the Wedge: Accurately Predicting Shot Outcomes in Tennis Using Style and Context Priors, aims to discover patterns of player movement and ball striking which are indicative of changing the probability of winning a point. Using optical-tracking data it is possible to form a representation of a player's style, enabling researchers to personalize interactions between players based on match context. This approach facilitates more accurate point prediction and an enhanced understanding of how points are won through the manipulation and exploitation of space on the court.
"In professional sport, there is an enormous amount of tracking data available. This paper showcases some methods we can use to maximize the value of it," said Lucey, Director of Data Science at STATS. "Even though the paper focuses on tennis, similar ideas can be applied across other sports. Considering how much of this data we have at STATS, and the charter of the Data Science Team is to generate new technology using this data, it is a very exciting time."
Each year the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference Research Paper Competition presents exciting insights and fresh perspectives on a wide range of sports. An opportunity to highlight new research in front of an audience of industry decision-makers, the competition is an important platform for contributing to the analytical discourse in professional sports.

A proactive transfer policy for critical patient flow management
Revista : Health Care Management Science
Tipo de publicación : ISI Ir a publicación
Hospital emergency departments are often overcrowded, resulting in long wait times and a public perception of poor attention. Delays in transferring patients needing further treatment increases emergency department congestion, has negative impacts on their health and may increase their mortality rates. A model built around a Markov decision process is proposed to improve the efficiency of patient flows between the emergency department and other hospital units. With each day divided into time periods, the formulation estimates bed demand for the next period as the basis for determining a proactive rather than reactive transfer decision policy. Due to the high dimensionality of the optimization problem involved, an approximate dynamic programming approach is used to derive an approximation of the optimal decision policy, which indicates that a certain number of beds should be kept free in the different units as a function of the next period demand estimate. Testing the model on two instances of different sizes demonstrates that the optimal number of patient transfers between units changes when the emergency patient arrival rate for transfer to other units changes at a single unit, but remains stable if the change is proportionally the same for all units. In a simulation using real data for a hospital in Chile, significant improvements are achieved by the model in key emergency department performance indicators such as patient wait times (reduction higher than 50%), patient capacity (21% increase) and queue abandonment (from 7% down to less than 1%).

Sihaus Mantle Border
c.400 AD, Sihaus Culture, 240 x 30 cm
The central icon of this stunning mantle border is the shamanic figure of the Ocucaje (the Oculate Deity), an essential iconography of Pre-Columbian arts in the southern Ica Valley of Peru, especially during the Paracas-Nazca period. It is characterised by its highly stylised frontal body and daring expression.
The arts of the Andes are renowned for its surreal and versatile rendering of earthly beings, which is connected to the Andes' ritual belief. In the Pre-Columbian cosmology, human and other zoomorphic beings are equally transformative and spiritual, who serve as mortal forms of the divine nature. Part anatomical, part transcendental in its fluidity, the floating body parts and facials represents a vital link to the Nazca visual lexicon that transfers the aggressiveness and powers to the Tunic's owner. The omnipresent motif of the dual headed snake is the result of the "Contour Rivalry"—a weaving style that emerged in late Chavan and matured in the Nazca period. Besides its abundant figurative symbols, this piece also incorporates geometric composition that refers to the architectural wonders of the Andes, such as the Akapana pyramids and the Inti cross, making it one of the rarest piece of Nazca tunic in a stylised semi-abstracted style.

Earthquake Glossary - turbidites
Turbidites are sea-bottom deposits formed by massive slope failures where rivers have deposited large deltas. These slopes fail in response to earthquake shaking or excessive sedimentation load. The temporal correlation of turbidite occurrence for some deltas of the Pacific Northwest suggests that these deposits have been formed by earthquakes.
Turbidites (interbedded with mudstones/siltstones) from the Ross Sandstone Formation Turbidite system of Namurian age in County Clare, Western Ireland. The sandstone beds were formed in a deep basin by turbidites coming from a delta area.


Marshall Islands Age of Consent & Sex Laws Age of Consent in Marshall Islands
What is the Marshall Islands Age of Consent?
The Age of Consent in Marshall Islands is 16 years old. The age of consent is the minimum age at which an individual is considered legally old enough to consent to participation in sexual activity. Individuals aged 15 or younger in Marshall Islands are not legally able to consent to sexual activity, and such activity may result in prosecution for statutory rape or the equivalent local law.
Marshall Islands statutory rape law is violated when an individual has consensual sexual contact with a person under age 16.
Marshall Islands does not have a close-in-age exemption. Close in age exemptions, commonly known as "Romeo and Juliet laws" in the United States, are put in place to prevent the prosecution of individuals who engage in consensual sexual activity when both participants are significantly close in age to each other, and one or both partners are below the age of consent.
Because there is no close-in-age exemption in Marshall Islands, it is possible for two individuals both under the age of 16 who willingly engage in intercourse to both be prosecuted for statutory rape, although this is rare. Similarly, no protections are reserved for sexual relations in which one participant is a 15 year old and the second is a 16 or 17 year old.
Age of Consent across the world
The Age of Consent ranges from as low as 11 to as high as 20 years old across the world. Click any country for details, or view countries with the highest & lowest ages of consent.

AMPHIBIO is The Futuristic Garment For Underwater Breathing
AMPHIBIO was designed by a student named Jun Kamei at the Royal College of Art in London. The concept here will allow humans to breath underwater. The device has yet to be tested on humans, but that is the next step. Things such as these always start from inspiration and then evolve into real world use. Kumei was inspired by Insects that create a bubble to help them breathe.
When researching insects we found something incredible. So how do these insects do this? Here is an excerpt from National Geographic:
Thousands of microscopic hairs cover the bodies of these insects. These hairs create a water-repellent coating on their shell, so when the insects submerge themselves, an air bubble forms around them. In this manner, the bugs are free to breathe the oxygen in the bubble and stay underwater. As the oxygen level falls and the carbon dioxide level rises inside the bubble, fresh oxygen is drawn from the water and carbon dioxide dissolves into the water. Essentially, the insect could stay underwater indefinitely.
Here is a video Demonstrating the design in action underwater:
We are all or most familiar with the recent news of the boys who were trapped in a cave in Thailand. Operations like that could make use of this kind of technology allowing for a better success rate of rescue. Although this technology is still in the early stages of development, this is exciting because it has real world application when successful.

Here's How The Average Korean Will Look In 2100 According To Scientists
Through artificial smart image technology, pictures of average Korean faces from the past, present, and the future were produced to show how Koreans looked like. These images were created by historians and facial reconstruction experts based on skulls of ancient Koreans.
1. Ancient Koreans of 12,000 years agoThe generated faces have the distinct traits of North Eastern Asians.
2. The Silla Dynasty (57 BC – 935 AD)The average faces shifted significantly as blood was mixed with people who migrated south from Northern Siberia.
A round oval shaped face and small lips are the most significant traits.
3. Goryeo Period 918 ~ 2017Migration of foreign people became less common since the beginning of Goryeo Dynasty.
Through Korea's unification in the Chosun period, Korean faces became close to what the average face is in present-day South Korea.
4. 2050As multinational families with neighboring Asian countries become more prevalent, South East Asian features may start to become more accentuated by 2050.
5. 2100By 2100, it is expected one out of every 5 households will be a multinational family.
The average Korean face is expected to most likely reflect traits from multiple Asian nations.


Create a WordCloud
How to Create a WordCloud? Display in 3 Steps using NLTK
Popular Domains for just 99 Cents at Namecheap!
You must have heard about the word cloud in text analytics. It is a graphical display of the words that are present in a corpus. Size of the words depends upon occurrences of it. More the number of times a word comes in a corpus more will be its size. You can use the word cloud to show the most popular words inside the corpus. In this tutorial on "how to ", you will know how to create a wordcloud from a corpus.
Before going the coding parts of the wordcloud let's know some of the use cases of it.
 1. Popular Hashtags
 2. Most Popular players Name
 3. Presenting a Qualitative Survey Data
 4. Analyzation of SEO keywords
Steps by Steps to create a word cloud
Step 1: Load the text corpus
First of all import your text data, you want to create wordcloud. Here I am taking text data from the directory itself for learning purpose. However, you can use url also for reading of the text. I am using the python os module for getting the path of the text file. You can download the text file from the GitHub URL.
import os
path = os.path.join(os.getcwd(),"sample_corpus.txt")
with open(path,"r") as fh:
 file_data =
reading of the text corpus
os.getcwd() will return the current working directory and os.path.join() will give the full path for the sample_corpus.txt. Now open the file from the defined path stored in the memory using the file_data.
Step 2: Import the WordCloud and stopwords
In this step, you will import the wordcloud and stopwords from the word cloud module. After that, you will call the WordCloud() constructor and pass the following arguments into it that are stopwords, max_words, background_color. Like in this example I am taking max_words = 25, and backgorund_color = " white". And generate wordcloud on the text file file_data.
from wordcloud import WordCloud,STOPWORDS
_TAG_ stop words
stopwords = set(STOPWORDS)
_TAG_ the wordcloud Constructor
WC = WordCloud(stopwords=stopwords,max_words=25,background_color="white").generate(file_data)
Step 3: Display the Wordcloud
You can use any python visualization packages for displaying the wordcloud. Here I am using the popular and open source matplotlib.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import rcParams
rcParams["figure.figsize"] = (10,5)
displaying of the wordcloud before enhancing
Here you are importing the matplotlib packages as plt. The statement plt.imshow() display the image in the axes. The figure will not look good if you are showing wordcloud with the axes. Therefore I write the statement plt.axis("off").
Enhancing the Wordcloud Display
Sometime in the wordcloud words come that you do not want to consider. Therefore to remove it from the wordcloud you will update the stopwords. For example, I don't want these words to consider in the wordcloud that are article, will, becomes, word, document. This I will update it with stopwords. Following is the full code for enhancing the wordcloud.
End Notes
Wordcloud is very useful for visualization of the text data. It tells you the words that are more important and lies. You can use it many applications like what are the words are focusing on a given statement and take find the importance of the word. For example, I want to read the monetary policies of a country. Then I will use the text data and find the most focusing area by the banks like employment, inflation, interest rate. There are other cases also you can search on the internet.
We hope that you must have liked the wordcloud tutorial. If you have any query on this. Then you can contact or message us on the official Data Science Learner Facebook Page.

Note that this article is intended for those people who are technical and can modify their form code. If you'd prefer to use a form builder that does the work for you, you can learn about form builders that Autopilot supports here.
Some indicators that the form you are capturing may require modifications to be compatible with Autopilot are:
- no form is found when scanning the page; or
- you've setup the form, but submissions are not being captured.
How to make your form compatible with Autopilot
Please ensure you form meets the following requirements to make it compatible with Autopilot:
- Use a tag, not just tags
- Use an tag rather than a or any other way of submitting the form. It needs to work as a standard HTML form. You can still define custom onclick and onsubmit handlers to get client-side validation or any other events you want to happen when the form is submitted, it just needs to be in the form of a submit button.
- tags must have statically named 'Name' attribute
- tags must be the direct children elements of a element in the HTML
This is a correctly formatted form submission example which meets this criteria:
Unsupported Form Submissions
This list covers the forms that are currently not supported by Autopilot:
- iframes: Or any third party form services that use them.
- Ajax: Ajax disrupts the way we capture information that is being submitted.
- Privately facing forms, i.e. forms that require a login in to navigate to. In these cases, use the session association method.
- Some forms embedded in pop-up boxes.
- Some multi-step forms.

Q. Is it permitted during Shabbos to open or increase the water dripping into a humidifier connected to the heating furnace. The warm air rushes by a metal net or mesh, that spreads the droplets of water into the air exiting the furnace and it evaporates into it. The temperature of the air at that point is less than 40 C. Is this allowed?
Is it permitted to add water to the tank of a cold-water room humidifier, that has some water but needs more to keep working the whole day?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that in regard to adding water to the tank of a cold-water room humidifier, in case of need it is permitted, since it is already working and no bishul or cooking of the water is involved.
However, regarding the humidifier units connected and feeding moisture to a hot air furnace, although some furnaces at some points of their heating cycle may indeed be forcing air that is bellow 40 C at the area next to the humidifier, most heating units are way above that temperature when close to the ignited area and usually the humidifier unit is adjacent. Therefore, the Rov maintains that during Shabbos no changes should be done to the amount of water entering the unit. Nevertheless, it is permitted during Yom Tov.

Why you should never paint Office walls White
In a study from the University of Texas, researcher Nancy Kwallek tested the impact of color on productivity by giving three groups of people clerical tasks to complete in three different rooms, each painted a different color: red, white, and aqua. Some individuals, which Kwallek calls high-screeners, were able to block out the color "noise" of their surroundings, while others, low-screeners, were affected by it. The high-screeners had no difficulty working in the red room, while low-screeners tended to be distracted by the color. Both groups, however, made more errors when they worked in the white room.
