What Is Nominal GDP?
What is difference between nominal and real GDP?
The main difference between nominal GDP and real GDP is the adjustment for inflation.
Since nominal GDP is calculated using current prices, it does not require any adjustments for inflation.
Using a GDP price deflator, real GDP reflects GDP on a per quantity basis..
Why is nominal GDP used?
What is the nominal GDP for Year 1?
GDP that has been adjusted for price changes is called real GDP. If GDP isn't adjusted for price changes, we call it nominal GDP. For example, if real GDP in Year 1 = $1,000 and in Year 2 = $1,028, then the output growth rate from Year 1 to Year 2 is 2.8%; (1,028-1,000)/1,000 =.
What is nominal GDP quizlet?
Nominal GDP. the total value of all finals goods and services produced in the economy during a given year, calculated with the prices current in the year in which the output is produced.
Why Real GDP is important?
What is real and nominal?
Definition: The nominal value of a good is its value in terms of money. The real value is its value in terms of some other good, service, or bundle of goods. Examples: Nominal: That CD costs $18. Japan's science and technology spending is about 3 trillion yen per year.
What is nominal GDP in simple terms?
Nominal GDP is an assessment of economic production in an economy but includes the current prices of goods and services in its calculation. GDP is typically measured as the monetary value of goods and services produced.
What is included in nominal GDP?
Nominal GDP is GDP evaluated at current market prices. Therefore, nominal GDP will include all of the changes in market prices that have occurred during the current year due to inflation or deflation. … Real GDP is GDP evaluated at the market prices of some base year.
Why is nominal GDP misleading?
What happens when nominal GDP increases?
What is the difference between actual GDP and potential GDP?
An output gap is a difference between the actual output of an economy and the maximum potential output of an economy expressed as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP). The output gap is a comparison between actual GDP (output) and potential GDP (maximum-efficiency output).
Why is nominal GDP higher than real?
What does real GDP mean?
What GDP means?
GDP, short for Gross Domestic Product, is defined as the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period.
What is difference between nominal GDP and PPP GDP?
Nominal GDP does not take into account differences in the cost of living in different countries. … To account for the differences in the cost of living between countries, we use the PPP exchange rate for conversion. The PPP exchange rate is the ratio of the currencies' purchasing power.
What is nominal GDP with example?
The nominal GDP is the value of all the final goods and services that an economy produced during a given year. … For example, a nominal value can change due to shifts in quantity and price. The nominal GDP takes into account all of the changes that occurred for all goods and services produced during a given year.
How do I calculate nominal GDP?
How is Nominal GDP Calculated?C – Private consumption.I – Gross investment.G – Government investment.X – Exports.M – Imports.GDPD – GDP Deflator.
What is GDP example?
Can real GDP rise while nominal falls?
If real GDP rises while nominal GDP falls, then prices on average have: … Nominal GDP falling would mean either prices have fallen or real GDP has fallen (or both). Since Real GDP has not fallen, prices must have fallen.
How does real GDP increase?


In a short form "Trekking is an act of walking for pleasure".
Trekking is walking along the mountain/ Hill / Himalayan trails for pleasure or sports. It provides an opportunity to explore the villages, villagers, valleys, mountains and its interior. So trekking means foot travel on mountain trails.
The Wikipedia's definition of trekking: "Trekking is a form of walking, undertaken with the specific purpose of exploring and enjoying the scenery. It usually takes place on trails in areas of relatively unspoiled wilderness. "

Vermiculation is decoration of a surface by means of random channels resembling worm-tracks or honeycomb. In masonry this is typically a process of carving or finishing of building stones with irregular grooves.
In Australian terrace houses, it is often done using the same process with stucco render. Vermiculation is typically found on projecting sections of party walls, where the roof and floors meet with the party walls. It is sometimes also found as a frieze below the cornice or above it on the parapet. Rarely it is found on the facade itself or other stuccoed architectural elements made to resemble stone such as gates.

The Great White Silence - Blu-ray Review
'its historical significance is unparalleled'
Herbert Ponting's 1924 film of Captain Scott's tragic attempt to reach the South Pole in 1911, The Great White Silence is a marvel of technical achievements both old and new. Restored by the BFI to a brilliant new print, this Blu-ray outing of Ponting's silent film is presented by the institute with a new score by Simon Fisher Turner and a restoration of Ponting's original 'tinting', a process which gives the black and white negatives a semblance of colour.
That colour is used to stunning effect. Purples, blues, greens and yellows fill the screen in alternative scenes as Ponting uses the differing shades to reflect mood and content. The new soundtrack also adds multi-faceted layers to the on-screen narrative. Turner's score is a mixture of industrial clanking (representing'soundless' on screen items, such as icebergs) and contextual sound effects (such as the ship's bell on the Terra Nova, the vessel used to ferry the explorers in to the Antarctic). Ponting's on-screen textual narration feels a little twee but it is also very well written and reflects the feelings of a man experiencing the awe of a little-seen part of the world.
The whole package feels like the 'definitive edition' the BFI really want it to be and the historical significance of Ponting's work is impossible to underestimate. That someone was there on the Antarctic shelf at all is remarkable, that someone managed to capture footage like this is incredible. Of particular poignancy is the recreation of Scott and his company's daily routine which gives a glimpse into the ordeal they must have faced during the several months of journeying from their camp to the pole itself and back.
It is tempting at this point to slap a reverent five-stars at the bottom of Ponting's film and label it a classic. It is of course. Such a film-making endeavour will never be repeated and its historical significance is unparalleled. For all that though, parts of it drag significantly. Ponting rather unnecessarily recreated sections of the journey in miniature format. Watching tiny sledges wander over fake polar ice caps at a benign rate is hardly intriguing, much less involving. The lagging run-time of one-hundred and ten minutes is a long time to sit through a silent documentary which, despite its remarkable footage, has been superseded by hundreds of nature and anthropological documentaries in the intervening years. It's a fine film and a fitting monument to the legacy of Scott and his endeavour but its perfection is of a flawed nature, even if this restoration is worthy of significant praise.
Look further...
'it struck me that it demonstrates that there is no need for 3D or any fancy gimmicks to convey drama. All that is required is a staggeringly good story' - Every Film In 2011, 8/10
 1. I never knew this existed. I have read a number of books on Scott and the ill-fated expedition. I was fortunate enough to see Shackleton's silent movie of his Endurance expedition almost 10 years ago on the big screen. Harrowing stuff and well worth reading about if it is your thing.
 I will be looking out for this, it may play in our coming Film Festival.
 2. It's well worth seeing if it does appear there. I imagine the sound would be great to experience on the big screen. Not without its problems but whilst watching it you do get *that* feeling of being in the presence of something absolutely momentous. Never heard of the Shackleton film. I'll have to look into it.
 3. It is called South. Shackelton wrote a memoir of the expedition and named it South as well! Can't re-call the film maker's name off hand but it shows the Endurance being crushed among other things.
 4. I had the opportunity to see this film at a Film Society screening a couple of weeks ago. However, I wasn't very well and the length of the film put me off so I didn't see it after all. Thanks for the review, interesting to read. One point I must make is that the word is superceded or alternatively superseded.
 5. Thanks for the correction Lynn! I imagine the experience in a cinema screening could have been great but the Blu-ray transfer is excellent (as, I imagine, is the DVD) so if you get chance definitely give it a go.

Can Exadata take you Beyond "Infinity and Beyond" with Non-Numbers?
Let me clarify… in a previous post, I showed some of the arithmetic around some of Oracle's floating point literals and how that arithmetic didn't make much sense. But one of the other literals available helped me solve an issue with the optimizer, indexes, and Exadata: an anomaly with a smart phone app gave me an idea…
LEFT JOINs, NULLs, and Offloading on Exadata
I was investigating query performance, and the root cause appeared to be a join condition that also had a filter:
...
from table1
 left join table2
 on =
 and table2.cust_code IS NULL
Long story short, the join condition was rewritten without IS NULL like this:
 and nvl(table2.cust_code,-999) = -999
The problem is, there was no easy way to ensure that that column might not actually contain the value -999 short of adding a CHECK constraint, and it would have taken weeks to get a change like that into production.
Alternate Solution: A Number that's Not a Number
Instead of using a constant that might actually be valid data, why not use one of Oracle's built-in constants like BINARY_DOUBLE_NAN? The chances of the CUST_CODE column containing the value BINARY_DOUBLE_NAN are essentially zero because the UI for TABLE2 would not allow anything but numeric constants.
I tried out this method on a copy of DBA_TAB_COLS. The column DATA_PRECISION has a lot of NULL values; if I use NVL and the Oracle BINARY_DOUBLE_NAN constant to avoid the IS NULL construct, it works great:
select count(*)
from col_data
where nvl(data_precision,BINARY_DOUBLE_NAN) = BINARY_DOUBLE_NAN;
I get the same number of rows as if I had used the IS NULL construct.
What About Exadata Offloading?
The question I always ask is, "how does this work on Exadata?" The answer did not disappoint.
Of course, single-row functions such as NVL are in V$SQLFN_METADATA and marked with OFFLOADABLE=YES; constants such as BINARY_DOUBLE_NAN are treated as any other numeric value.
Using Oracle's built-in functionality including numeric constants representing very large numbers, very small numbers, and numbers that are actually not numbers can help you out of trouble with NULL values (which are also not numbers!). And Exadata will not get in your way using solutions like this either!

Atmosculator is a freeware Mac OS X application, written using Cocoa & Objective-C, that calculates key properties of the Earth's atmosphere as a function of altitude using the 1976 Standard Atmosphere Model. It includes extensive Help on the basis of the model and a mathematical derivation showing how the properties are calculated.
What is new in this release:
- The first Intel-native release; it should run on any Mac with an Intel processor running OS X 10.7 or later.
- It has been released as a beta with a 3 month expiration (good until 2/28/15) so you can help with testing.
- If any problems are found during this period, I will include fixes in the official 3.0 release early in 2015
- A sign error in Atmosculator's built-in documentation, has been fixed. The sign used in front of the h in the numerical solutions should have been - not + for the altitudes between 167,323 and 232,940 ft and also between 232,940 and 278,386 ft. Please see this ERRATA for the online documentation. Thanks to R. Wayne Wilson for catching this.
- A typo in the formula for the gas constant in Atmosculator's built-in documentation has been fixed. Under Gas Properties, the equation for the Specific Gas Constant in terms of the Universal Gas Constant should read R = R*/M and not R = R**M. Please see this ERRATA for the online documentation. Thanks to Quentin Minster for catching this.

Anaesthetic considerations for a bleeding hemangiosarcoma undergoing splenectomy
Saturday, September 2, 2023
A haemangiosarcoma is a type of cancer that is common in dogs. Most cases originate from the spleen. Typically these patients present with haemoabdomen for splenectomy. Care should be taken to thoroughly assess and stabilise the patient prior to anaesthesia. These patients are often critical, and consideration should be taken of the equipment and monitoring devices required. ECG, blood pressure, SpO2 and capnography are all vital when monitoring the anaesthetic for these patients.

text: Richard Hildreth was a journalist, antislavery activist born in Deerfield, Massachusetts. In 1834 Hildreth sold his share in the Boston Atlas and traveled south in search of a more healthful climate. For eighteen months he stayed on a plantation in Florida, where he wrote an antislavery treatise, Despotism in America (1840), and America's first antislavery novel, The Slave; or, Memoirs of Archy Moore (1836). Though The Slave never achieved the popularity of later antislavery fiction, Despotism in America became an important source book for economic arguments against slavery. From 1839 to 1843 Hildreth lived in British Guiana. Though considered for a professorship of history at Harvard in 1849 and again in 1851, he was turned down. In accordance with his principles he joined the Vigilance Committee formed to prevent the Fugitive Slave Law from being put into operation in Boston and donated legal services to fugitive slaves and those charged with helping them. Hildreth's health worsened during his time at the New York Tribune. By 1860, hoping that a warmer climate would help him, he was appointed consul to Trieste in 1861. He died in Florence.

How do macrophyte distribution patterns affect hydraulic resistances?
In eutrophic river systems, macrophytes attain high biomass with reduced drainage and increased flooding risk. To avoid these problems, water managers remove vegetation. Total removal, however, increases wash out of macro-invertebrate communities reducing the ecological value of rivers. Partial vegetation removal reduces this washout and prevents an increase in hydraulic resistance. In this, study the hydraulic performance of three partial vegetation removal patterns was tested. From the results it was seen that hydraulic resistance, expressed as Manning's n, was varying between 0.025 m−1/3 s and 0.050 m−1/3 s. Compared with the empty situation, the different distribution patterns increased resistance between 14 and 23%. Hydraulic resistance of these patterns was also significantly influenced by the species present in the vegetation patches. Three groups of macrophyte plants (emerged, floating leaved and submerged) with significantly different hydraulic resistances were determined. The emerged species Sparganium erectum generated the least resistance with an average friction of 0.03 m−1/3 s. Stuckenia pectinata and Potamogeton natans had slightly higher friction values around 0.4 m−1/3 s. Ranunculus penicillatus and Callitriche platycarpa had average friction values around 0.05 m−1/3 s. The proposed vegetation removal patterns are good alternatives to create a management system, which minimally increases hydraulic resistance but still guarantees the ecological functions.


What is the meaning of the 'g' flag in regular expressions?
What is the meaning of the g flag in regular expressions?
What is is the difference between /.+/g and /.+/?
g is for global search. Meaning it'll match all occurrences. You'll usually also see i which means ignore case.
Reference: global - JavaScript | MDN
The "g" flag indicates that the regular expression should be tested against all possible matches in a string.
Without the g flag, it'll only test for the first.
Example in Javascript to explain:
> 'aaa'.match(/a/g)
> 'aaa'.match(/a/)
[ 'a', index: 0, input: 'aaa' ]
g is the global search flag.
So the difference between /.+/g and /.+/ is that the g version will find every occurrence instead of just the first.
There is no difference between /.+/g and /.+/ because they will both only ever match the whole string once. The g makes a difference if the regular expression could match more than once or contains groups, in which case.match() will return an array of the matches instead of an array of the groups.
As _USER_ pointed out, the g flag sets the lastIndex property as well.
A very important side effect of this is if you are reusing the same regex instance against a matching string, it will eventually fail because it only starts searching at the lastIndex.
// regular regex
const regex = /foo/;
// same regex with global flag
const regexG = /foo/g;
const str = " foo foo foo ";
const test = (r) => console.log(
// Test the normal one 4 times (success)
// Test the global one 4 times
// (3 passes and a fail)
Beside already mentioned meaning of g flag, it influences regexp.lastIndex property:
The lastIndex is a read/write integer property of regular expression instances that specifies the index at which to start the next match. (...) This property is set only if the regular expression instance used the "g" flag to indicate a global search.
Reference: Mozilla Developer Network
G in regular expressions is a defines a global search, meaning that it would search for all the instances on all the lines.
Will give example based on string. If we want to remove all occurences from a string. Lets say if we want to remove all occurences of "o" with "" from "hello world"
"hello world".replace(/o/g,'');
 1. g -> returns all matches
 2. without g -> returns first match
 1. '1 2 1 5 6 7'.match(/\d+/) returns ["1", index: 0, input: "1 2 1 5 6 7", groups: undefined]. As you see we can only take first match "1".
 2. '1 2 1 5 6 7'.match(/\d+/g) returns an array of all matches ["1", "2", "1", "5", "6", "7"].


text: Nanometer-thick liquid lubricant films are useful for the lubrication of miniaturized mechanical systems, such as hard disk drives or microelectromechanical systems. However, there are no established methods for measuring the mechanical properties of such thin films, which can be an obstacle to the optimal design of lubrication systems. We previously developed a highly sensitive method for measuring shear forces, which we called the fiber-wobbling method (FWM). In the FWM, we used a ball-ended optical fiber to probe shear and we measured the friction force acting on the probe tip by detecting the deflection of the fiber. By this means we succeeded in measuring friction forces in nanometer-thick liquid lubricant films. However, we could not evaluate the mechanical properties of the films quantitatively because the contact area between the probe tip and lubricant film was unknown. Here, we developed a method for measuring the contact area during shearing of nanometer-thick liquid lubricant films in the FWM.

Anyone can tell me why the imwrite make the image background become black, i inserted an image of something with background of white but after using code below i got perfect image but the background become black :
rgbImage = imread('wtmk.png'); redChannel = rgbImage(:, :, 1); greenChannel = rgbImage(:, :, 2); blueChannel = rgbImage(:, :, 3); reconImage=cat(3,redChannel,greenChannel,blueChannel); imwrite(reconImage,'watermark.png','png');
Anything wrong with my code?
Please check whether size(rgbImage) is exactly the same as size(reconImage), and whether
all(rgbImage(:) == reconImage(:))
Your png file might be returning an alpha layer that you are not writing out to the new file.
What is the class of reconImage just before you call imwrite? You didn't somehow convert it (with code not shown) into double did you? Is it still uint8? Can you show the code where you "inserted an image of something with background of white" into your original rgbImage?
By the way, you don't need the third imwrite() argument of 'png' - it figures that out from the filename.

ALEKS Math Placement Test
What is ALEKS Math Assessment?
ALEKS is a powerful artificial intelligence (AI)-based assessment software product the zeros in on the student's mathematical strengths and weaknesses, reports its findings, and then if necessary provides a learning module to improve the student's knowledge and skill. ALEKS will ask between 25 and 35 questions, none of which are multiple choice. Before beginning the assessment, students will complete an online tutorial so they know how to enter answers in ALEKS. The tutorial and placement may take up to 90 minutes to complete.
If students take the test remotely, they are expected to take the ALEKS placement assessment without assistance from another person or resource. Results from ALEKS will lead to placement in a mathematics course. If students complete the assessment using assistance, there is a strong chance that they will perform poorly in their mathematics course and have to pay tuition fees to retake it.

Date of Conferral
Doctor of Business Administration (D.B.A.)
Organizational change initiatives in the United States frequently fail with estimated failure rates as high as 90%. Change failure rates resulting from underused and poorly trained front-line managers (FLMs) remained high, with no signs of improvement in the past 2 decades. The purpose of the correlational study, grounded in servant leadership theory, was to examine the relationship between employee perceptions of their FLM's servant leadership dimensions and employee affective commitment to change. A purposive, nonprobability sample of 107 employees of a U.S. manufacturing organization that had recently undergone organizational change completed a questionnaire for the study. Results of the multiple linear regression analysis were not significant, F(7, 107) =.714, p =.660, R2 = 0.045. Though results were not statistically significant, the beta weights for creating value for the community (Î² =.165) and behaving ethically (Î² =.168) indicated that creating value for the community and behaving ethically were potentially the most important variables in accounting for variance in the model. The beta weights for emotional healing (Î² = -.048) and conceptual skills (Î² = -.047) indicated that emotional healing and conceptual skills were potentially the least important variables in accounting for variance in the model. The findings may be of value to manufacturing leaders developing initiatives to improve change initiative success rates. Support for servant leadership during periods of organizational change has positive social change implications for employees. The practice of servant leadership reduces employee uncertainty and anxiety incurred during periods of change by resolving uncertainties and sustaining employee motivation for supporting organizational change.

During a global scan of some 16 million homes, antivirus vendor Avast recorded that two out of five digital households worldwide are vulnerable to cyber attacks.
The Avast Smart Home Report 2019 contains insights from over 16 million smart home networks, revealing that 40.3 percent of homes worldwide (47.1% in Australia) have more than five smart devices connected and 40.8 percent (33.4% in Australia) of these contain at least one vulnerable connected device.
The report illustrates that just one connected device can compromise the security of the whole home network.
"People use their smart TV to watch their favourite Netflix series or connect their baby monitor to their home network. However, often they don't know how to maintain the security of that device," said Ondrej Vlcek, President, Consumer at Avast.
"It only takes one weak device to let in a bad hacker and once they are on the network, they can access other devices and the personal data they stream or store, including live videos and voice recordings. Simple security steps will significantly improve the integrity of digital homes. For example, the setting of strong, unique passwords and two-factor authentication for all device access, and ensuring software patches and firmware updates are applied when available."
The majority (69.2%) of vulnerable devices in households worldwide (55.4% in Australia) were discovered to be vulnerable due to having weak credentials, such as simple passwords or the use of one-factor authentication. A further 31.8 percent of these devices worldwide (45.1% in Australia) were vulnerable due to not being patched.
Avast also scanned 11 million routers worldwide and found that over half (59.7%) worldwide either have weak credentials or software vulnerabilities. Out-of-date software is often the weakest link in the security chain, making it an easy gateway for cybercriminals looking to access other connected devices.
Based on a scan of 117,773 Australian home networks, the research found that the top seven most vulnerable devices in Australia were:
1. Printers 35.8%
2. Network nodes 19.7%
3. NAS 19.4%
4. Security cameras 11%
5. Media boxes 8.5%
6. TVs 3.2%
7. Gaming consoles 0.5%
Printers were found to be the most prevalent vulnerable device worldwide, featuring in the top three list in every single country scanned and topping the list in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Singapore, South Korea and Japan. Media streaming boxes (e.g. set-top boxes, Chromecasts, TiVos) have entered the top five, and are incidentally the third most prevalent IoT device found in digital homes, after TVs and printers.

For everyday care, please use neutral cleaning agents and water only. To remove stubborn limescale deposits, you can use a cleaning agent containing citric acid. Avoid cleaning agents containing the following chemicals:
- Acetic acid (also known as ethanoic acid or acidum aceticum)
- Hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid, acidum hydrochloricum)
- Formic acid (methanoic acid, formylic acid, metacarbonic acid, hydrogen carboxylic acid)
- Sodium hypochlorite (bleach, sodium oxychloride)
- Phosphoric acid (E 338).
Stainless steel fittings may be damaged by cleaning agents containing hydrofluoric acid and chlorine.
- 2. The right cleaning utensil
Rinse the fittings with plenty of water and polish them with a soft cloth. Do not use scouring agents, steel wool, brushes, sponge pads or microfibre cloths to clean fittings. They can damage and scratch the surface of your fitting.
- 3. Follow the care instructions
Care instructions are included with all of our KLUDI products. We recommend holding onto them and consulting them when in doubt.
- 4. Prevent limescale deposits
Prevent build-up of dirt and limescale deposits by cleaning regularly. Thanks to the flexible nubs, the head and hand showers are generally easy to clean with your finger. All you have to do is rub them gently to remove any limescale.
- 5. Do not apply cleaning agents directly
If possible, do not spray the cleaning agent directly onto the fitting. Instead, apply the cleaning agent to a soft cloth and wipe the surface gently. You can then rinse with clean water.
- 6. Rinse with clean water
Afterwards, rinse off any remaining cleaning agent with clean – ideally hot – water. Finally, we recommend polishing lightly with a soft cloth to prevent new limescale deposits forming.
- 7. Test gentler alternatives
Light soiling can sometimes be removed using just water and conventional soap. Gentle cleaning increases the service life of the fitting.
- 8. Don't forget the aerator
Daily use can cause limescale to build up quickly on the surface of fittings in kitchens and bathrooms, depending on the lime content in the water. The aerator – the screen in the fitting spout – can also become blocked by limescale deposits. That can cause the fitting to splash or drip. For this reason, don't forget to look after the inside of the fitting when cleaning. If in doubt, a plumber can easily replace an aerator.
- 9. Clean the head and hand shower
To maintain a beautiful spray, all you have to do is wipe the silicon nubs of the head or hand shower regularly by hand. We make the spray nozzles from a special flexible silicon to allow you to rub over them, thus preventing the build-up of limescale. Child's play – It couldn't be easier!

annual' rate. For junior players who may play, say, one of the football codes in winter and cricket in summer, it would be important to note that a rate was a 'seasonal' incidence rate (not including injuries from the other sport) rather than an 'annual' incidence rate (which would include injuries sustained while playing other sports).
 2. For a tournament that lasted for, say, 2 months, injury rates could theoretically be multiplied by six to give an 'annual' injury incidence based on the hypothetical situation of a similar tournament being indefinitely played six times per year. However, in reporting tournament injury incidence (eg, for a World Cup, or in a domestic T20 competition), it may be preferable to use match injury incidence rates rather than annual incidence rates.
Definition of cohorts
The cohort to be followed for a given team should be referred to as the 'squad'. A match-day team generally consists of 11 players (11 active players and the 12th man), whereas a squad for a team contains a varied number of players. The squad to be followed can consist of any number of players, which should be recorded for all times of surveillance (ie, for the entire year if annual surveillance is being undertaken).
A squad should be chosen at the start of the surveillance period, determined in advance. Therefore, injury rates will consider those players who become injured as well as those who avoid injury, and it is possible that a squad will contain injured players at the start of the surveillance period. A squad might consist of a team's designated list of contracted or registered players, or a group of players selected for a particular tournament. However, players may need to be added if they are chosen to play for the team from outside the initial squad. Similarly, players who are de-registered, or are dropped from a contracted professional or international squad, should be removed.
The definition of a squad member for a team may be varied, but an example is as follows:
 1. Any player under contract to the team in question (or a 'registered' player at amateur level).
 2. Any other player who plays in the team first XI (not including 12th man or a fielding substitute) or tours overseas with the team, from the time of his/her first game (or the first tour match) until the end of the cricket year or season (when a new round of contracts is awarded).
For tournament injury surveillance, if the cohort is determined to be the selected squad for the tournament, it should be noted that there would be a strong bias towards injured players not being selected (although occasionally they are, in the hope that they may become fit early on during the tournament). Injury prevalence for tournaments with cohorts chosen in this fashion are likely to be lower than injury prevalence for contracted players on an annual basis, as the tournament cohort is biased against players suffering from pre-existing injuries (who make up a high proportion of the injured cohort when considering injury prevalence).
For additional information pertaining to injury surveillance systems, refer to online supplementary appendix II.
This consensus statement has evolved from the original recommendations of 2005. The evolution of this consensus statement is from being prescriptive ('all studies should use the following methods') to descriptive ('all studies should conduct the most complete injury surveillance possible and clearly describe the methodology'), emulating statements such as PRISMA24 and STROBE.25
A greater motivation for an updated consensus statement is to lead to consistency within the sport of cricket as well as between sports, using definitions that may be compared to those used in other sports. There has also been a greater appreciation that it is impossible and unwise to try to formulate a fixed set of definitions to suit all types of studies within a single sport. Given the concession that definitions will therefore need to vary, the focus of this consensus statement has moved to clarity in choosing and reporting methods used.
The difficulty in providing a single injury definition that will suit all purposes with respect to a sport or injury surveillance system within a sport has been discussed.12,13 To illustrate this argument in a cricket context, consider how shoulder injuries might best be defined in the following circumstances:
 1. To determine whether certain countries/teams or years had higher rates of shoulder injuries than others, a 'time-loss' injury definition may be preferable, as it is the most easily captured, objective and reliable indicator of a significant injury;
 2. To determine shoulder injury rates during a cricket tournament, a 'medical presentation' injury definition may be preferable, as all teams will have medical and/or physiotherapy staff who could hopefully keep consistent data over a limited time period during a tournament;
 3. To determine shoulder injury rates in amateur cricketers, a 'player-report' definition based on physical symptoms may be preferable, as amateurs may or may not have presented to any medical staff with their symptoms but should be able to recall symptoms that have occurred within a reasonable time period, for example, the past year;
 4. To study the development of pathology in the shoulder and its relationship to symptom development in cricketers, a study using an 'abnormal imaging' injury definition, based on ultrasound scan or MRI findings performed on cricketers without shoulder symptoms, could be employed.
Although time-loss definitions are preferable to medical attention injuries in many circumstances, there is one emerging injury category of importance where a medical attention definition is preferable: concussion and head impact injuries. Given the long-term concerns relating to concussion, it is recommended that injury surveillance systems keep a record of all head/neck/helmet impacts irrespective of whether or not they meet the threshold for a concussion diagnosis. That is, any impact to the head or neck region which would prompt the medical staff to ask the player whether they had suffered any symptoms (ie, generate medical attention based on the observed event rather than any symptoms), even if the player claims to have not suffered any injury or symptoms.
Injuries per number of player hours is, in theory, most accurate, but its relevance has been lessened by the rise of T20 cricket.4 A day in which a T20 game is scheduled generating the same number of injuries as a day in which a 50-over match is scheduled would appear to have an injury incidence that was 2.5 times higher, because there were fewer overs bowled. Therefore, a unit of injuries (numerator) over player days (denominator, considering 11 players in action per day) could be used, which is simpler and more representative of actual risk (in a given time period).4 This is analogous to comparing injury rates of various Track athletic events in a per event rate (100 m=one event; Marathon=one event) rather than a rate per hour of competition participation, which would make sprint events appear to be far riskier than distance events.
There are other circumstances specific to cricket where standard definitions are problematic. Within the realm of T20 cricket, some countries have moved to a 'franchise' model of T20 teams which are contractually and operationally distinct from the traditional domestic teams, whereas other countries still combine contracts to play T20 and longer forms of cricket for a single team. It would be inappropriate to state that T20 team cohorts should be either distinct from or combined with longer form surveillance cohorts, as the situation in different countries should lead to a different approach.
A somewhat unique cricket problem when assessing availability to play is the requirement of all players to be able to bat, but only some players need to bowl. The player who is fit to bat but not fit to bowl may be available for selection if their batting ability warrants, but not if selection would rely on also being fit to bowl. For some players who are 'part-time' bowlers but are unfit to bowl, it can be difficult and somewhat subjective to determine if they are missing a game whether this is truly due to injury or selector preference. This is particularly the case where a player continues to play as a batsman only and remains unfit to bowl. A guideline from these definitions is that this would equate to being unavailable through injury for a 'regular bowler', but we concede that these determinations may need to be made on a case-by-case basis. The difficulty is increased if a player is available to bowl but with workload limits recommended by medical staff that effectively result in non-selection in the longer forms of the game.
This complexity of role in cricket has led to our recommendation that injury surveillance systems avoid 'training time-loss' definitions, as many players regularly train in partial fashion. This would render the concept of a 'missed training session' to be too difficult to determine on too many occasions. For a 'general time-loss' injury, we have opted to recommend a daily binary status of 'considered fit to play a cricket match/not fit to play a cricket match' with the role and type of match necessarily being player-specific (ie, what type of match and in what role would a player be expected to be next fit for?).
In conclusion, these new consensus definitions are presented to offer greater flexibility to researchers at choosing methods which suit their study type and encouraging greater rigour in reporting to allow comparison between studies within cricket, and between sports.

What should I know about travel to the United States for medical treatment?
To travel to the United States for medical treatment, it is necessary to apply for a visa at the US consulate in your country. The visa requested is a general nonimmigrant visa (B-2). There is no special visa to travel for medical treatment. To determine your eligibility for a visa, you must contact the American embassy in your country. In addition to the general documents that must be completed to apply for a B-2 visa, you will need the following documents to apply for a visa for medical treatment:
1. A professional diagnosis by a physician in your country of origin, describing your current health condition and why treatment should be conducted in the United States.
2. An official letter from the doctor or hospital in the United States to confirm they are accepting patients for treatment. This document must carry a full report on the estimated cost and duration of treatment. The estimated cost must include all costs of treatment and medical care.
3. Proof that you can pay the full cost of treatment. If you will not pay your own expenses, you will need a letter from the individual or organization that will take care of expenses including medical, transport costs and accommodation expenses. You must show evidence of being able to pay the costs, either in the form of bank statements or other forms of proof of income, savings, or certified copies of tax payments.
4. Proof of economic, social and professional ties that require you to return home after completing medical treatment.
Start your visa application process well in advance of the scheduled date of travel and do not make concrete travel plans or buy tickets until the visa has been issued. The Lupus Foundation of America cannot serve as a visa sponsor. In addition to the US Consulate in your country, you can find more information on the website of the United States Department of State.

When describing storability of a potato we often use the term dormancy. A dormancy value or duration gives insight into how long the potato will store before it initiates sprout development.For process and fresh market potatoes, detrimental quality concerns develop once sprouting begins, such as changes in carbohydrate status, increase in respiration rate, additional weight loss and storage management issues such as impeded airflow. Seed growers may need to accelerate or retard sprout development depending upon the time of year and intended seed market.
The biological advantage for a dormancy period in a plant is survival of the species. The inherent dormancy of potatoes allow for most varieties to over-winter, barring any freezing conditions, and re-sprout in the spring, thereby reproducing and perpetuating the species. Tuber dormancy keeps the potatoes from sprouting in the fall, therefore, reducing chances of the species being killed by unfavorable winter conditions. There are three classes or types of dormancy that can be described in potatoes.
1) "Endodormancy" occurs after harvest and is due to the internal or physiological status of the tuber. Even if tubers are placed in conditions favorable for sprout development, sprouting will not occur.
2) "Ecodormancy" is when sprouting is prevented or delayed by environmental conditions, such as when potatoes stored at lower temperatures having a longer dormancy period compared to potatoes stored at warmer temperatures. Table 1 illustrates where differences in days to dormancy break are observed within a variety as storage temperature is lowered.
3) "Paradormancy" is comparable to endodormancy although the physiological signal for dormancy originates in a different area of the plant than where the dormancy occurs. An example of this is apical dominance of a tuber-the apical meristem or dominant bud/eye impedes development of secondary bud or sprout development. Some varieties have stronger paradormancy than others. The growing season or pre-harvest conditions can also affect dormancy length along with post-harvest conditions such as temperature and light.
Initiation of dormancy break actually begins before there is visible sprout development. Researchers continue to examine the physiological processes associated with dormancy and subsequent sprout development. It is believed that the five major plant hormones are involved in the process. Abscisic acid and ethylene are involved in the induction of dormancy, cytokinins are involved in dormancy break, and gibberellins and auxins are involved in sprout development.
Ideally it is best to apply chlorpropham (CIPC) prior to bud activity for greatest sprout suppression. Table 1 shows a three-year average dormancy length of several russet type varieties. Our definition of dormancy break is when 80 percent of potatoes have at least one sprout greater than or equal to 5 mm in length. Typically peeping of the buds occurs two to four weeks prior to this defined loss of dormancy. Therefore, depending upon storage temperature, some varieties may need a CIPC application soon after the curing period has ended to maximize sprout suppression potential. Other sprout suppression products, such as clove oil, are best applied when bud activity is visible.

Architect: William Deane Butler & Iarnród Éireann Architects
Originally constructed for the Drogheda and Dublin Railway Company, this was the first of the four major Dublin Railway termini to be constructed. Still in use today, it has been renamed Connolly Station after James Connolly who was executed for his part in the 1916 rising although many people still refer to it as Amiens Station. The station was built between 1844-46, and it is constructed on an axis with Talbot Street allowing the central tower to act as a signpost for the station. A symmetrical five bay façade with three towers and an enormous entrance arch – the main façade does not hang together particularly well as an integrated design.
In the late 20th century Iarnród Éireann Architects renovated the building by adding a new entrance foyer to the south and cleaning the brickwork inside the shed. In addition to the mainline trains, Connolly also services the local DART and Suburban Rail services. These trains operate from platforms adjacent to the main railway shed, on an elevated railbed before crossing the river via the Loopline Bridge.
The removal of the traffic access ramp to the south has allowed a terminus of sorts for the Luas Light Rail system, which had now been negated by the extension of the route to the Point on North Wall Quay.

The Thien Audible Tension Gauge for Bandsaws (Beta)
Copyright (c) 2009, J. Phil Thien. All rights reserved.
The purpose of this interactive worksheet is to determine the frequency a properly tensioned bandsaw blade should generate when plucked. By entering just six numbers, we will compute that frequency. Sample files of "virtual blades" being plucked aid the user of this worksheet in adjusting their saw's tension.
More on tension
Questions & answers
Step #1. Determine the weight of your bandsaw blade. To do this, weigh the blade on a digital kitchen scale set to GRAMS. We use grams instead of ounces because most kitchen scales are more precise when resolving in grams.
blade weight (grams!)
Want to give it a test-spin? Try entering 84 grams, the weight of my 72-1/2" Blade Runner blade.
Step #2. For our computations, we need to know the length of the blade, in inches.
blade length (inches)
Want to give it a test-spin? Try 72.5, which is the length of saw blade for my saw.
Step #3. Now we need to know the thickness of your bandsaw blade. For best results, measure with one of those inexpensive digital calipers. You should also be able to get this data from the blade manufacturer.
blade thickness (inches)
Want to give it a test-spin? Try.022, which is the thickness of my Blade Runner blade.
Step #4. We're getting there. Now we need to know the blade's width at the narrowest section (in the gullet). I'll get a picture up how to measure this up soon. But basically, you want to measure the blade body (not counting the teeth).
blade width (inches)
Want to give it a test-spin? Try.390, the width of my 1/2" blade runner excluding the teeth.
Step #5. Almost done. Now we need to install the blade on the saw, and tension it. Just take the slack out of the blade, that's all the tension we need. Now, measure the distance between the two centers of your bandsaw's wheels. This is our beam length, or how long of an unsupported distance the blade spans.
wheel separation (inches)
Want to give it a test-spin? Enter 19.75, the distance between by axles when the blade is pre-tensioned.
Step #6. Now we just need to know the tension you desire. Manufacturers of blades typically suggest everything from 15000 up to 30000-PSI, with 20000-PSI pretty common for woodworking blades.
desired tension (PSI)
Want to give it a test-spin? Enter 15000, the PSI suggested by the manufacturer for my Blade Runner blade.
Step #7.
Enter the values above, then click on the "calculate" button to determine the tuning frequency...
If you were following the test-spin, you should have received an answer of 78.95-Hz.
Frequency samples
Once we've computed the frequency, you can use the files below to hear what a blade tensioned to that frequency should sound like. These are MIDI files, which should open in MS MediaPlayer (or any other suitable MIDI player).

PLEASE NOTE: As I'm still in the testing phase, I encourage you to proceed with caution. If it seems like you are overtensioning or undertensioning, please contact me and let's work through it. You assume all responsibility for using this site and my method.
More on tension
The topic of bandsaw tension is perhaps second only to dust collection in its ability to spark heated discussions among woodworkers.
My current bandsaw (a Delta BS150LS) has no tension gauge. It is a direct-drive 10" bandsaw with a 1/2-HP motor, and 7" of resaw capability (and I've resawed 7" stock with it, too). But like I said, there is absolutely no tension gauge to guide the user in setting blade tension. The manual instructs the user to turn the tension knob until all the slack is removed from the blade. Then, depending on the size of the blade, the user is instructed to turn the knob from 3 to 7 more times (3 turns for a 1/4" blade, 7 turns for a 3/8" blade).
This has worked sorta alright. The results were very repeatable, but I had no idea if I was achieving the 15k to 25k-PSI tension that the band manufacturers typically recommend. Thicker stock (resawing) tended to give me more problems than cutting thinner stock. I often assumed the tension had something to do with that, but I had no way of knowing for sure.
I had even greater difficulty when I decided to try a 1/2" Blade Runner band on the saw. The Blade Runner (from Iturra Design) is made from the same Atlanta Sharptech stock as the Wood Slicer blades from Highland Hardware. These blades have done very well in the reviews (winning the Fine Woodworking blade shoot-out, for example). But, the manual for my saw offered no guidance in tensioning a 1/2" blade. While the band fit, and I seemed to have no problem achieving lots of tension with it in place, I had no idea how many turns of the tension knob were required to properly tension it.
So I considered purchasing an aftermarket tension gauge. Typically selling for $100 to $300, these clamp to the blade and measure how much a band stretches as it is tensioned. Young's modulus is used in order to convert the measured stretch to tension (in PSI). However, Mark Duginske, a noted bandsaw expert and author of at least a couple of bandsaw books, has argued that these aftermarket gauges fall short. Testing performed by Mike Cutler (a materials engineer) on Mr. Duginske's behalf indicated that the gauges are neither accurate, nor repeatable. Mr. Duginske announced these findings in one of the woodworking forums and both Mr. Duginske and Mr. Cutler had to immediately begin defending their findings. Several users of the gauges were unwilling to accept the results of the tests. However, it is clear that the tests were exhaustive, with standards traced back to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Testing). Mr. Cutler spent hours speaking with engineers at Delta and blade manufacturers. The results were accurate, the aftermarket gauges were not.
I was aware of shop-made gauges. These pretty much emulate the spendy aftermarket gauges I mention above (clamping to the blade to measure stretch). While they're certainly much less expensive to make than to buy ($20 instead of $100 and up), if the $100 to $300 gauges are neither accurate not repeatable, I didn't see the sense of making a copy of one. Yet on one rainy Saturday afternoon I did experiment with shop-made solutions. I had less than satisfactory results.
[The reason I imagine these gauges don't work well (in case you were wondering) is that they rely on the user's ability to get them on an untensioned blade such that the blade is perfectly straight and true between

Why is Louisa Collins known as the Borgia of Botany?
I've received so many emails in response to the story in Good Weekend (19/10) and one question that has arisen is: why was Louisa called the Borgia of Botany?
Two reasons: first, because Louisa supposedly used poison to dispatch her husbands (once you've read the book, you'll be able to decide for yourself whether she was guilty.)
The name Louisa sounds a little like Lucrezia - and Lucrezia Borgia is a famous figure in Renaissance history: the daughter of a Pope, she is rumoured to have owned a hollow ring, which she would fill with poison to drop into the drinks of her family's enemies.
Second: because Louisa lived in Botany, of course!

In conjunction with the Philippines Autism Consciousness Week, the proposed event was conducted based on the partnership built between government agencies and civil society organizations in the Southeast Asia and Japan. The event aimed to build a basis of dynamic exchange between Southeast Asia, particularly countries in the Mekong sub-region, and Japan about autism and recreation, leisure and sports as the first attempt in this area.
Over 400 participants from the Mekong countries and Japan enjoyed the opportunities for the human exchange. They gained knowledge and experience of the Philippines in terms of recreation, leisure and sports in the autism context. The participants also learned the outcome and impact of the movement at the national level through the Angel's walk for Autism. All the partners recapped the findings and lessons learned and, all the activities conducted were reviewed to make sure that knowledge and experience gained from the Philippines would be available in the Mekong countries.

University of New Mexico's Steven Homer is named among 26 law teachers nationally who have had a significant, positive and long-term impact on their students. Homer, interim director of the Legal Analysis and Communications Program, has received the UNM Outstanding Adjunct/Lecturer of the Year Award and is a multiple winner of the Dean's Award for Faculty Excellence in the UNM School of Law.
Homer is featured in the book, What the Best Law Teachers Do, Harvard University Press, 2013. The book is the culmination of a four-year study to identify extraordinary law teachers. They received hundreds of nominations from which they selected the 26 they profiled. The authors visited the subjects, observed class sessions and conducted interviews with subjects, students, alumni, deans and other faculty.
The book studies the atrributes and practices of these law professors, described as "inspiring role models to their students, who consciously and carefully prepare their students to practice law, who devote themselves to helping their students grow as people and as future lawyers, and who mentor their students, helping them find jobs and make career choices, even long after the students have graduated."
Homer teaches first and second year students and has taught in the school's clinic program for third year students. He insists that everyone must participate in class. "Speaking in front of people is very important for a lawyer," he said. So, he calls on each of his students every day. He acknolwedges that it is stressful at first, but as time goes by, students become more comfortable with it.
The book identifies structure as key in the classroom; that students repeatedly say they appreciate having a structure that helps them learn. Homer scripts his whole class to ensure that each class is productive. He organizes content, develops the sequence of questions and anticipates the answers. Part of his job, he said, is to keep students on task. His students commented on how clear his expectations are and how important they are to gauge progress.
One of the lasting lessons for Homer's students is thoughtful writing. Students are quoted discussing the link between careful reading and persuasive writing, focusing on the purpose in writing and the importance of editing. One former student said those practices have been ingrained and when people in the office pass motions around before filing them, they actually say "do the Homer thing" -- chop out extraneous verbiage.
The book is authored by Professor Gerry Hess of Gonzaga University School of Law, Professor Sophie Sparrow of the University of New Hampshire School of Law, and Michael Hunter Schwartz, dean and professor of law at the UALR William H. Bowen School of Law.
According to Hess, "All of the teachers we studied are regarded as being among the most rigorous professors at their law schools who have high expectations of every student, yet they also are known for their kindness to their students. They foster self-confidence in their students and inspire in them a belief that they are capable of great things. They get to know their students as people and manifest caring and respect for their students. These teachers model hard work, creativity and humility."

Mary McAleese announced as Patron of the National Forum
Today the National Forum for Teaching & Learning launches the Student Led 'Teaching Hero' Awards in Higher Education. These Awards will recognise and celebrate students' experiences of great teaching throughout all higher education institutions. This launch is accompanied by the announcement that Prof Mary McAleese will provide invaluable support as the first official Patron of the National Forum. The Forum's mission is to work in collaboration with all higher education institutions to enhance the quality of the learning experience for students.
Prof Sarah Moore Chair of the National Forum said:
'The launch of these awards is a very significant initiative: it highlights the importance of showcasing and sharing examples of best practice, it puts the student voice at the centre of our work and it will help to provide both inspiration and information for our enhancement mandate. Excellent teachers do more than come to lectures prepared. They set us on career paths, share their passion and they inspire and challenge learners in all sorts of ways. Each of us can remember a teacher that made a lasting difference in our lives.
These awards provide students with the opportunity to nominate teachers, who have demonstrated excellence in their teaching and impacted their students' lifelong learning. We are honoured that Mary McAleese has come on board as our Patron. Her chairmanship of the Modernisation of Higher Education in Europe Group has provided a vital blueprint for developing teaching and learning. As an individual she exemplifies lifelong learning and we warmly welcome her support as we work towards our goal of enhancing the quality of the learning experience for all students in Irish higher education."
Mary McAleese said:
"I am delighted to endorse the establishment of Ireland's new National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. Quality teaching and learning depends on dedicated individuals and dedicated institutions supported by policies that put teaching and learning at the core. As patron of the National Forum, I look forward to bringing that vision to life".
The objectives of the Forum's awards are to showcase, strengthen and value teaching excellence in higher education at a national level. Between now and May many thousands of students in higher education institutions both public and private have the opportunity to nominate their teachers that have made a real difference at a key transition in their learning journey through higher education. Perhaps it was when they first started college, changed courses, moved country to attend college or when they returned to education after a long absence. ('teacher' includes all those that are involved in teaching in higher education e.g. supervisors, librarians, tutors, technicians, instructors as well as lecturing staff). Award winners will be announced in June, the Awards will be presented by Prof. McAleese this autumn at a ceremony in Dublin.

In Ubuntu SDK QML tutorial a simple currency converter is build. The complete QML source code can be found here. When working through the example I found the following snippet somewhat confusing, particularly line 92 where the index field is assigned to caller.currencyIndex.
ListView {
 clip: true
 width: parent.width
 height: parent.height - header.height
 model: currencies
 delegate: Standard {
 objectName: "popoverCurrencySelector"
 text: currency
 onClicked: {
 caller.currencyIndex = index // where does index come from?
I couldn't find any clue in the documentation where index is defined. What it should contain is absolutely obvious, but where does it come from? If it is a property of the Standard list view item it is nowhere documented.

index is a property of the ListView delegate, not necessarily a ListItem. It represents the number of the currentItem. From the docs:
The index is exposed as an accessible index property. Properties of the model are also available depending upon the type of Data Model.
share|improve this answer
That was exactly the piece of documentation I was looking for! Would've never expected this to be a property of the delegate. – ubuntudroid Mar 3 at 8:32

Xocai chocolates are sold on a multi-level marketing scheme, which is often considered similar to a pyramid scam, although it is legal in the United States. There is some evidence that the health benefits of Xocai chocolates are overstated by sellers.Continue Reading
Multi-level marketing schemes rely on distributors to recruit new sellers. The new sellers are the people who supply the bulk of the money. This can be done ethically and is legal because there is a product to sell, but many multi-level marketing schemes are not good investments. Xocai requires monthly purchases by each distributor and is structured so that commissions from recruits account for up to 50 percent of high-earning distributors' incomes.
In addition, Xocai is often marketed as a healthy chocolate, but there is no evidence that it is more healthy than any other dark chocolate. It does have a high antioxidant content, but it also contains artificial ingredients, such as sucralose, and is not organic.
The distributors of the product make weight loss claims, but the subjects of the studies are required to maintain a calorie-restricted diet and exercise regularly, so it is unclear whether the addition of Xocai to the diet is responsible for weight loss or if it is simply a matter of better diet and exercise.Learn more about Sweets
