One of the most important terms used in Income Tax, 1961 is Cost Inflation Index (CII). Understanding this term is very crucial for the correct computation of Long Term Capital Gains under Income Tax Act.
What is Cost Inflation Index?
Cost Inflation Index (CII) is a measure of inflation which is used in Income Tax Act, 1961 to compute long term capital gains on sale of capital assets. It comes under Section 48 of the Income Tax Act and is a quantifiable measure used to implement the concept of Indexation.
Cost Inflation Index from Financial Year 1981-82 to Financial Year 2016-17 is given below
|FINANCIAL YEAR||COST INFLATION INDEX|
Concept of Indexation
The value of rupee today is not same as it was some years back. The prices of commodities keeps on increasing due to a factor called Inflation. Hence the concept of Indexation is introduced in the Income Tax act to take into account, the effect of inflation while computing long term capital gain.
"Indexation helps us to counter the erosion in the value of the asset over a period of time. Using the inflation index, one needs to increase the purchase price of the asset so that it reflects inflation-adjusted true price in the year in which it is sold."
How is Cost Inflation Index Used to calculate Long Term Capital Gains?
Cost inflation Index is reported in terms of Financial Year not in terms of Assessment Year. In India, the Financial Year starts from 1st April and ends on 31st March of the following year. To understand how CII is used, one should have a basic understanding of the following terms:-
- Capital Assets: A capital asset is defined as property of any kind held by an assessee, whether connected with their business or profession or not. It includes assets which can be held by a person for example Mutual Funds, Shares, Real Estate, Gold, Fixed returns Instruments such as Fixed Deposit, etc.
- Long Term and Short Term capital assets: Assets are classified as Long Term or Short Term with reference to the period of holding of the assets till it is transferred. The classification is made on the following basis.
|Nature of Asset||Short Term Capital Asset||Long Term Capital Asset|
|(i) Shares in a company or any other security listed in a recognized stock exchange in India or equity oriented mutual fund||Held for not more than 12 months.||Held for more than 12 months.|
|(ii) Assets other than assets mentioned in (i) above.||Held for not more than 36 months.||Held for more than 36 months.|
How does CII helps in computing capital gain/loss?
As the original cost of acquisition is historical, the concept of Indexation allows the tax payer to take into account the effect of inflation and consequently, a lower amount of capital gains gets to be taxed. In indexation and capital gain parlance, the purchase price is called Indexed cost of Acquisition. Following is the formula of Indexed Cost of Acquisition.
Indexed Cost of Acquisition = (Actual cost of purchase) * (CII of Year of Sale) / (CII of Year of Purchase).
This can be explained with the help of following example:
Suppose a property is purchased in financial year (FY) 1995-96 for Rs 20 lacs. It is sold in financial year 2016 -17 for Rs 100 lacs.
Then, the gain would be = Rs 100 lacs – 20 lacs = Rs 80 lacs.
But if CII is considered then we need to calculate cost of 20 lacs of 1995-96 in the year 2011-2012.
From the table Inflation index in year 1995-96 is 281 and year 2011-2012 is 1125.
So, Indexed cost of Rs 20 lacs in the year 2011-2012 is = 20 * (1125/281) = 80.07
Hence, Long term capital gain = 100 – 80.07 = 19.93 lacs instead of Rs 80 lacs.
However, Indexation cannot be used for all asset classes. The benefit of Indexation cannot be used for Fixed returns Investments such as Fixed Deposit, Bonds, Debentures, NSC, etc.

Si and Ge are widely used as analyzing crystals for x-rays. Drastic and accurate shaping of Si or Ge gives significant advance in the x-ray field, although covalently bonded Si or Ge crystals have long been believed to be not deformable to various shapes. Recently, we developed a deformation technique for obtaining strongly and accurately shaped Si or Ge wafers of high crystal quality, and the use of the deformed wafer made it possible to produce fine-focused x-rays. In the present study, we prepared a cylindrical Ge wafer with a radius of curvature of 50 mm, and acquired fluorescent x-rays simultaneously from four elements by combining the cylindrical Ge wafer with a position-sensitive detector. The energy resolution of the x-ray fluorescence spectrum was as good as that obtained using a flat single crystal, and its gain was over 100. The demonstration of the simultaneous acquisition of high-resolution x-ray fluorescence spectra indicated various possibilities of x-ray spectrometry, such as one-shot x-ray spectroscopy and highly efficient wave-dispersive x-ray spectrometers.

Obviously the German soldiers might notice a tree where there had not been one before. That's why the British Empire's Royal Engineers built fake trees to resemble specific trees in no man's land. During the night, they'd cut down the original and replace it with the fake:
To develop the O.P. Tree, Royal Engineers representatives selected, measured, and photographed the original tree, in situ, extensively. The ideal tree was dead; often it was bomb blasted. The photographs and sketches were brought back to the workshop, where artists constructed an artificial tree of hollow steel cylinders, but containing an internal scaffolding for reinforcement, to allow a sniper or observer to ascend within the structure. Then, under the cover of night, the team cut down the authentic tree and dug a hole in the place of its roots, in which they placed the O.P. Tree. When the sun rose over the field, what looked like a tree was a tree no longer; rather, it was an exquisitely crafted hunting blind, maximizing personal concealment and observational capacity simultaneously.

text: The ballast layer is intended to provide a free draining base and sufficient bearing capacity to maintain a proper track alignment. Due to the growth in commuter and industrial traffic, the railway industry needs to fulfil the demands for faster, heavier, and longer trains. However, these high traffic loads often result in a large plastic deformations and degradation of ballast, which in turn, leads to a significant loss of track stability and high maintenance costs. The deformation and degradation of ballast are influenced by factors such as the amplitude and frequency of loading, the number of load cycles, track confining pressure, gradation of aggregates, and the angularity and fracture strength of individual particles. The use of geocomposite (biaxial geogrid-nonwoven geotextile) for enhancing the performance of rail tracks was described, with the aim of reducing track settlement, increasing track resiliency, and decreasing ballast degradation. The effects of impact loads on ballast degradation and its mitigation due to the installation of resilient mats (shock mats) beneath rail tracks were studied using large-scale drop hammer equipment. It has been shown that for tracks built on soft formations, prefabricated vertical drains significantly decrease the build-up of excess pore-water pressure during cyclic loading. A preliminary finite element analysis was used to examine the performance of vertical drains, and a Class A prediction was obtained in terms of settlements, excess pore pressures, and lateral displacements under rail tracks.

Google Toolbar allows spoofing the information presented in the dialog which is being displayed when adding a new Google Toolbar button. This can allow an attacker to convince the users that his button comes from a trusted domain. This button can then be used to download malicious files or conduct phishing attacks (e.g. show a login form of a bank).
- Google Toolbar 5 beta for Internet Explorer
- Google Toolbar 4 for Internet Explorer
- Google Toolbar 4 for Firefox (partially)
Google Toolbar provides a nice API for creating toolbar buttons. Basically, the button information is stored in an XML file.
In order to add a button, the toolbar user must click on a specially crafted link which refers to the button's XML file. When the user click on the link, a dialog appears with all the following details: The domain where the button is being downloaded from, the name, description and icon of the button and some "privacy considerations", which basically shows the domains which the button interacts with (sends/receive information).
By creating a specially crafted URLs it is possible for an attacker to fake the domains displayed in the "Downloaded from" and "Privacy considerations" sections. This specially crafted URL can be created by simply adding an open redirector (e.g. in google.com - _URL_ before the URL.
An attacker can use this vulnerability to gain the victim's trust to add and use the button, and by that the victim will trust the files that the button offer, or enter private information. In the new beta version of the toolbar it is also possible to alert the user every few seconds to click on the button.
In the Firefox version of Google Toolbar it is only possible to fake the "Privacy considerations" section.
A proof-of-concept which adds a "critical update" button can be found here. Use it at your own risk, though it shouldn't do anything but suggest you to download gupdate.exe from my site, which is basically the windows calculator.
Workaround / Suggestion
Google have acknowledged this and are already working on a fix.
Until a fixed version is provided, I suggest to avoid adding new buttons to the toolbar.

How To Write The Perfect Flashback
How To Write The Perfect Flashback
Are you thinking about whether or not you need flashbacks in your story? We tell you how to write the perfect flashback.
What Is A Flashback?
A flashback is a piece of writing that shows the reader what happened in the past. The author does this by writing a scene set in the past. A flashback interrupts the flow of the current story.
Should We Use Flashbacks?
Writers love writing flashbacks. Readers hate reading them. If you insist on them, make sure you know how and when to use them. When you write a flashback you should be careful not to ruin the pacing of the story.
Readers prefer to read a plotted story that moves from the beginning through the middle to the end. Anything that interferes with this chronology is distracting. [Suggested reading: Element 7 in The 7 Critical Elements Of A Great Book]
Flashbacks lack immediacy. They are essentially backstory and they can be a terrible distraction if they aren't well-thought-out and well-written. You may even lose your readers.
When To Use Flashbacks
You should only use a flashback if it adds to your story. If you can get away with telling the scene in a dialogue exchange or a short diary entry, rather do that.
You can use them:
 1. To show a character's motives.
 2. To fill in an important piece of the puzzle.
 3. When something happened long ago and there is simply no other way to include it.
How To Use A Flashback
Before you use flashbacks make sure that you've done the following:
 1. Engaged your reader in the protagonist's current problem.
 2. Established the goal of the story.
 3. Established a threat to the goal. (This usually includes an antagonist.)
 4. Used a flashback that compels readers to know what happened in the past.
You should be able to resume the story where you left it with no significant developments having taken place during the flashback.
Example Of A Flashback
In The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins uses a brief flashback to establish the backstory between Katniss and Peeta. Katniss remembers when she was at her lowest ebb after her father died. She was starving and Peeta, the baker's son, threw bread into the snow that saved her and fed her family for a few days. Collins brings us back to the present immediately after this.
It works because:
 1. We are emotionally invested in Katniss's story (her family needs her to win).
 2. We know her story goal (to win the games).
 3. Peeta at this point represents a threat to that goal (he is her opponent in the games).
 4. We need to know about this incident to show how she feels indebted to him on some level. It could not happen any other way, because Katniss is not a chatty person.
Top Tip: If you want to introduce a flashback in the first few pages of your novel, you should probably start the story when the flashback is taking place.
How To Write The Perfect Flashback
A Checklist For Writing The Perfect Flashback
A flashback is essentially a memory. This is a good way of testing how you write it.
 1. Something Sets It Off: Flashbacks are triggered by something. Most of our memories are triggered by a place, an object, a conversation, or through our senses. Use one of these to send us back in time.
 1. Where Are We? Orient us at the start of the flashback in time and space. A clear transition must be used. Examples: Five years ago, we…; When I was a teenager…; My father used to….
 1. Keep It Short And Sharp. When you have a memory, it does not go on and on. It usually lasts a few seconds. The longer the flashback, the longer it takes for the reader to get back into the main story.
 1. Make Sure We Need It. Make the flashback advance the narrative. This memory could be crucial to the motivations of a character or it could show us how we go to a point in the story.
 1. Show The Results. Flashbacks in stories should have consequences. If we remember something traumatic or challenging, it will affect us in the present day. The reaction to the memory should be in keeping with its severity.
Top Tip: Mini-flashbacks can be used more frequently. This could be a few remembered lines of dialogue from another character when your protagonist is thinking about the past. Readers often don't even notice that they are flashbacks.

What Do Quails Eat?
Quails spend very little time in the air or in the water but spend a lot of time on the ground. They will eat plants, seeds, low hanging fruits, flowers, and leaves. Young quail will eat an occasional insect.
3 Additional Answers
Ask.com Answer for: what do quails eat
Quails eat insects and seeds.
A quail will mostly eat seeds, including acorns. Other common foods are alfalfa sprouts, cabbage, small insects, and, on occasion, small amounts of grass.It is important that a quail be fed many insects during the first few days of its life - though quail are mostly herbivorous, protein is important to their growth.
The diet of the quail varies depending upon the time of year or the individual's age or sex. Quail mostly eat seeds, but sometimes they will eat invertebrate animals. You can find more information here: _URL_

C++ Core Guidelines: The Remaining Rules to Performance
Here are the remaining rules to performance:
Let's have a closer look at rule Per.11 and rule Per.19.
Per.11: Move computation from run time to compile time
The example shows the simple gcd algorithm which calculates the greatest common division at runtime. gcd uses for its calculation the euclidean algorithm.
int gcd(int a, int b){
 while (b!= 0){
 auto t= b;
 b= a % b;
 a= t;
 return a;
By declaring gcd as constexpr gcd can quite easily make a function that can run at compile time. There are only a few restrictions on constexpr functions in C++14. gcd must not use static or thread_local variables, exception handling, goto statements, and all variables have to be initialised. Additionally, variables have to be of literal type.
Let's try it out.
// gcd.cpp
_TAG_
constexpr int gcd(int a, int b){
 while (b!= 0){
 auto t= b;
 b= a % b;
 a= t;
 return a;
int main(){
 std::cout << std::endl;
 constexpr auto res = gcd(121, 11); // (1)
 std::cout << "gcd(121, 11) = " << res << std::endl;
 auto val = 121; // (3)
 auto res2 = gcd(val, 11); // (2)
 std::cout << "gcd(val, 11) = " << res2 << std::endl;
 std::cout << std::endl;
Declaring gcd to a constexpr function does not mean that it has to run at compile time. It means that gcd has the potential to run at compile time. A constexpr function has to be executed at compile if used in a constant expression. (1) is a constant expression because I ask for the result with a contexpr variable res (2). (3) is not a constant expression because res2 is not a constant expression. When I change res2 to constexpr auto res2, I would get an error: val is not a constant expression. Here is the output of the program.
Once more, here is the key observation. You can use a constexpr function at runtime and at compile time. To use it at compile its arguments have to be constant expressions.
You don't believe me that line (1) will be executed at compile time? Here is the proof: the assembler instructions to line (1) generated from gcc 7.3 with maximum optimisation level. I created the output with the help of the Compiler Explorer from Matt Godbolt.
The function call gcd(121, 11) boils down to its result: 11.
Templates are often used to make the decision at compile time. There is a nice example of this idea in the C++ Core Guidelines. A popular technique is to provide a handle for storing small objects on the stack and big objects on the heap. Here is the example:
template
struct Scoped { // store a T in Scoped
 //...
 T obj;
template
struct On_heap { // store a T on the free store
 //...
 T* objp;
template
using Handle = typename std::conditional<(sizeof(T) <= on_stack_max), // (1)
 Scoped, // first alternative (2)
 On_heap // second alternative (3)
void f()
 Handle v1; // the double goes on the stack
 Handle> v2; // the array goes on the free store
 //...
How does it work? std::conditional in line (1) is a ternary operator from the type-traits library. In contrast to the ternary operator at runtime (a ? b : cstd::condition will be executed at compile time. This means if std::conditional<(sizeof(T) <= on_stack_max) is evaluated to true, the first alternative is used at runtime. If not, the second alternative.
Per.19: Access memory predictably
What does that mean? If you read an int from memory more than the size of one int is actually read from memory. An entire cache line is read from memory and stored in a cache. On modern architectures, a cache line has typically 64 bytes. If you now request an additional variable from memory and this variable is on the previous cache, the read directly uses this cache and the operation is much faster.
A data structure such as std::vector which stores its data in a contiguous memory block, is a cache line data structure because each element in the cache line will typically be used. A std::vector has a size and a capacity and can grow only in one direction. The capacity is greater than its size and indicates when it is necessary to allocate memory. This argumentation also applies to std::vector and std::array although std::array has no capacity.
My argumentation to std::vector will not hold for a std::list or a std::forward_list. Both containers consist of nodes that are double or single linked.
The std::forward_list can only grow in one direction.
forward list
std::deque is something in between because it is kind of a double linked list of small arrays.
This was the theory of cache lines. Now I'm curious. Does it make a difference to read and accumulate all elements from std::vector, a std::deque, std::list, and std::forward_list. The small program should give an answer.
// memoryAccess.cpp

const int SIZE = 100'000'000;
template
void sumUp(T& t, const std::string& cont){ // (5)
 std::size_t res = std::accumulate(t.begin(), t.end(), 0LL);
 std::chrono::duration last= std::chrono::steady_clock::now() - begin;
 std::cout << cont << std::endl;
 std::cout << "time: " << last.count() << std::endl;
 std::cout << "res: " << res << std::endl;
 std::cout << std::endl;
 std::cout << std::endl;
int main(){
 std::cout << std::endl;
 std::random_device seed; // (1)
 std::mt19937 engine(seed());
 std::vector randNumbers;
 std::vector myVec(randNumbers.begin(), randNumbers.end());
 sumUp(myVec,"std::vector"); // (2)
 std::dequemyDec(randNumbers.begin(), randNumbers.end());
 sumUp(myDec,"std::deque"); // (3)
 std::listmyList(randNumbers.begin(), randNumbers.end());
 sumUp(myList,"std::list"); // (4)
 std::forward_listmyForwardList(randNumbers.begin(), randNumbers.end());
 sumUp(myForwardList,"std::forward_list"); // (5)
The program memoryAccess.cpp first creates 100 Million random numbers between 0 and 100 (1). Then it accumulates the elements using a std::vector (2), a std::deque (3), a std::list (4), and a std::forward_list (5). The actual work is done in the function sumUp (6). I assume that Linux and Windows use a quite similar implementation of std::accumulate; therefore the access time of the elements is the dominant factor for the overall performance.
template
T accumulate(InputIt first, InputIt last, T init)
 for (; first!= last; ++first) {
 init = init + *first;
 return init;
I compiled the program with maximum optimisation and executed it on Linux and Windows. I'm not interested in the comparison between Linux and Windows because that would be a comparison between a desktop PC and a Laptop. I'm interested in the relative performance numbers of the four containers. Here are they:memoryAccessWin
To get the big picture. Here are my observations:
 - std::vector is 10 times faster than std::list or std::forward_list on Linux and std::vector is 30 times faster than std::list or std::forward_list on Windows.
 - std::vector is 1.5 times faster than std::deque on Linux, but std::vector is 5 times faster than std::deque on Windows. The reason may be that the double linked small arrays are bigger on Linux than on Windows. The effect is that the access time is more vectors.
 - std::deque is 6 times faster than std::list and std::forward_list. This holds for Linux and Windows.
 - std::list and std::forward_list are in the same ballpark on Linux and Windows.
I don't want to overestimate my performance numbers but one key observation is obvious. The more cache line aware the container is, the faster is the access time of the elements: std::vector > std::deque > (std::list, std::forward_list).
What's next?
That was it to performance. With the next post, I will start to write about the rules of concurrency. I

Lake Carnegie is an ephemeral lake in Western Australia. It fills with water only during very rare periods of significant rainfall, such as during the huge 1900 floods and in numerous recent tropical wet seasons when the monsoon and tropical cyclones have been moved south by recent climate change. In dry years, it is reduced to a muddy marsh.
Water entering the lake, unlike in more easterly playas of the Australian arid zone, does not come from well-defined river channels since the soils of the region are so weathered – lacking tectonic or glacial activity since the Carboniferous ice ages – that sediment is completely absent and the terrain so flat that only the most unweatherable rocks remain on the surface and well-defined river channels cannot form especially since the extreme age of the soils and consequent high rooting density of native flora limits runoff to an extreme extent.

How do criminal groups organize, operate, and govern in Denmark? We argue that organized crime groups face governance challenges in the form of principal-agent problems and transaction costs. Based on interviews with law enforcement officers, former gang members, and prisoners, we provide evidence for how people involved in crime respond to these organizational dilemmas. We find that the more severe the principal-agent problem, the more gangs vet possible members during recruitment. We also find that as transaction costs rise, people who are engaged in illicit activities that are more complicated will rely more on internal structure and centralization. Our findings support existing rational choice theories of criminal organizations.

Global Consequences: Russia Announces Eurasian Union and New Currency Altyn
The Presidents of Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus have officially announced that the transition of the semi-formal Customs Union into the formal economic Eurasian Union will be expedited and completed by 2015. The Eurasian Union will adopt a new currency: Altyn (Rus: Алтын). Vladimir Putin announced that Altyn as the new Eurasian currency was originally planned for 2025, but now, due to the US/EU sanctions against Russia, the transition to Altyn may occur within 3-5 years.
Altyn has a very ancient and long-ranging history. Altyn means gold. The word is of Turkic origin (not to be confused with Turkish). The Turkic family of languages includes languages spoken by the Siberian peoples, Tatars, Mongols, and of course, Kazakhs.
Altyn was the name of the ancient gold coin once used by Russians extensively for trade with Turkic and Arabic neighbors. Later, in medieval times, altyn, or "altynnik," became one of the regular Russian coins. In 15th century, altyn equalled six Moscow dengi, or 1/200s of a Moscow ruble. It also equaled three Novgorod dengi, or 1/100s of a Novgorod ruble. Denga was also called "kopeika" (kopeika is presently the 1/100s of a ruble). In the ancient times it was also called the arian "kuna."
The old Russian proverb was: "Had nothing, and all of a sudden, altyn." Rus: "Не было ни гроша, да вдруг алтын". This is an equvalent of English: "From rags to riches." In those days kopeikas and altyns were big money. And only the rich owned rubles. Of course, back then all currency was real gold, silver and bronze.
In this regard, the original meaning of Altyn, "gold," is very telling. Through Altyn, Russia/Kazakhstan/Belarus, in short the new Eurasian Union, are sending a signal that they are targeting the gold standard. Along with China also targeting the gold standard through the Yuan, the new Eurasian currency will lead to…

A protégé is a person who receives special protection and promotion from someone more established in a field. If your boss introduces you as his newest protégé, you're off to a good start in your career.
Essentially, a protégé is a teacher's pet, someone who is given special status or favors. Often, the word is used for someone who has special standout talent and is taken up as an upcoming star or powerhouse. The word's original associations, however, have nothing to do with talent and everything to do with how a person treats the protégé — the source of the word means "protection."
Definitions of protege
n a person who receives support and protection from an influential patron who furthers the protege's career

For generations, the second born child of the Lion King has always been the leader of the Lion Guard; a team of animals whose duty is to protect the Pride Lands and the Circle of Life. Another reason why the second-born child of the Lion King is the leader of the Lion Guard is because they possess the Roar of the Elders; an intensely powerful roar that is bestowed on them by the Great Lions of the Past.
The first lion to be bestowed the power of the Roar was Askari, the second born son of one of the previous Lion Kings.
Generations later, Askari's descendant, Scar was leader of the Lion Guard and was blessed with the power of the Roar, however, after Scar after got bitten by a cobra, the venom in his body started to corrupt him, making him more prone to anger and irrational impulses as he let the power go to his head to the point where he believed he was worthier of being king than his older brother, Mufasa. He tried to get his Lion Guard to help him overthrow Mufasa and take the throne. When the rest of the Lion Guard refused, Scar destroyed them using the Roar. However, because he used the Roar for evil, Scar lost it and the abilities it gave him forever, resulting in him becoming weakened and even more determined to kill Mufasa and become king himself.
When Mufasa became king, he only had one child named Simba. Because of this, many Pride Landers believed that the Roar and the Lion Guard were gone forever. However, after overthrowing his uncle and becoming king, Simba had two children: Kiara and Kion. Being the second-born, Kion inherited the Roar and assembled the new Lion Guard, but vowed not to use it for evil as his great-uncle did.
During his final battle against the ghost of Scar, Kion is bitten and poisoned by Ushari. The venom inside Kion caused him to constantly lose control of the Roar, leading the Lion Guard to go on a journey to the Tree of Life. Once healed, Kion realized the Roar doesn't determine his identity and is willing to let it go. This willingness made Kion qualified to learn how to master the Roar completely. Under Askari's spirit's guidance, Kion trained his Roar and it became far more powerful than before, allowing him to swiftly defeat Makucha's army and help him and his friends in taking a shorter route to the Pride Lands.
When Kion and his friends are back to the Pride Lands, conflict arise between them and Vitani and her team over who should be the Lion Guard. The two teams decided to settle it through a competition. However, in the final round between Kion and Vitani, Kion decides to relinquish his role to Vitani after she proved herself worthy by bravely challenging him without needing the Roar. Kion bestowed Vitani with the Roar, allowing her to use it. Askari then appeared and stated that Kion had truly mastered the Roar. Kion demonstrated his mastery of the Roar by using it to lift Pride Rock. He then decided to use the Roar to protect the Tree of Life together with his friends, becoming its protector and King, and finally returning the Roar to its true home and proper place in the Circle of Life.
List of Known Powers and Abilities
- Sonic Roar: When the leader of the Lion Guard uses the Roar of the Elders, deceased lions roar along with him/her, instilling real power in their Roar. With this roar, he/she has flattened plains, held floods back and torn down rock-slides. The Roar is so powerful that it can actually kill the user's opponents if they willed it, such as when Scar used it to destroy his own Lion Guard when they refused to help him overthrow Mufasa.
- Mark of the Guard: Whoever the leader of the Lion Guard chooses to become part of his/her team, he/she marks them with a roaring lion head, symbolizing their positions as members of the Lion Guard, when the leader of the Lion Guard inherits the Roar of the Elders; a lion head automatically appears on his/her left shoulder. The leader can also bestow their own tittle as the Fiercest and the Roar of the Elders to another lion to be their successor, this also cause all the other marks on the Predecessor's Lion Guard to disappear and normally cause the original leader to loose the Roar. However since Kion mastered the Roar he was able to keep it.
- Precision: In "Never Roar Again", it is revealed that the Roar can be used to hit precise targets. For example, when Makuu and his float took Nala hostage, she encouraged Kion to use the Roar. When he did, instead of using the Roar on everything, he controlled it to only take out the crocodiles holding Nala before turning on Makuu and the rest of the float.
- Soul/Spiritual Summoning: The Roar can also be used to summon the lion spirits of the past like Mufasa. However, when used out of anger, the Roar is capable of summoning the evil lion spirits from their afterlife, though the effect won't work unless a bakora staff is engulfed in a fire and roared upon by the user. In "The Rise of Scar", Kion was tricked into summoning Scar over a volcano when he uses the Roar raging against Janja threatening of his family. After evil spirits are summoned, they are capable of acting on their own accord, not needing to be called on by the user.
- Atmokinesis: The Roar is also capable of manipulating the weather to the user's wishes.
- Hyetokinesiss: In "Lions of the Outlands", when Zira told Kion to use his roar on a cloud, it produced a rain cloud over Jasiri's watering hole. He uses this same feature again "Swept Away", "Battle for the Pride Lands", and "Journey to the Pride Lands". However, these rains only last for a short while. While the Roar can produce rain when the user roars at clouds, the rains are very brief, but can be powerful enough to create floods.
- Aerokinesis: In "Triumph of the Roar", it is revealed that the Roar can create a whirlwind attacks like producing tiny twisters to pick up objects.to lift objects from the ground. Kion used this ability to help carry Beshte and Bunga in order to defeat Makucha's army's biggest assault. In the next episode, he uses it to transport Bunga, Beshte, Jasiri, Janja, and himself across a dried ravine.
- Electrogenesis: In "Triumph of the Roar", Kion uses the Roar to summon a bolt of lightning to free Makini and the Night Pride from inside the Tree of Life after Beshte failed to push a large boulder aside himself. Near the end of "Journey to the Pride Lands", lightning creates a hole in a huge stone dam not far from the Pride Lands.
- Geokinesis: In addition to causing earthquakes, the Roar can create pillars and rifts in the earth. Kion was also able to lift Pride Rock with no difficulty. If blasted on a volcano, it will cause an eruption that will cause mass destruction in the process.
- Evil Deeds: If the leader of the Lion Guard ever uses the Roar of the Elders for evil, he/she will lose this power permanently.
- Rage: If the leader of the Lion Guard ever uses the Roar of the Elders in anger, he/she will temporarily lose control of the Roar and he/she could unintentionally hurt or even kill someone, as well as accidentally summon evil lion spirits.
- Accidental Natural Disasters: If the Roar is used in anger or not it can cause natural disasters by accident, like volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. In "The Accidental Avalanche", Kion accidentally started an avalanche while using the Roar on a mountain.
- Duration: The Roar of the Elders can't last long when used prolong, which could exhaust the user as seen in "Journey to the Pride Lands" when Kion tried to hold water in place for how long using the Roar.
- The first mention of this ability was in the book Hear Me Roar!.
- According to the Disney Life app, the Roar can be heard up to five miles away. (That is the same distance as a regular roar by a fully grown lion.)
- When Kion uses the Roar, he always tells everyone to get behind him as to avoid hurting them.

Tapping the Liquid Gold
WATER BATTLE SITES
Central Plains Water scheme: involves taking water from the Rakaia and Waimakariri rivers and storing it in a reservoir in the dammed Waianiwaniwa Valley. The water will be used to irrigate 60,000ha bounded by the rivers, SH1 and the Malvern foothills. Red Zones: Environment Canterbury has labelled many blocks of land as red zones areas that have no more groundwater allocation to spare for irrigation. But farmers keep fighting for more water through legal challenges. Project Aqua: The lower Waitaki River was the site where Meridian abandoned a bid to build six new power stations by diverting two-thirds of the river through channel alongside the river.
Canterbury has 78,162 kilometres of rivers and 4753 lakes with a surface area of 702 square kilometres, an area the size of greater Christchurch.
The Canterbury region has 70 per cent of the country's irrigated land and generates 24% of the nation's power through hydroelectricity.
The aquifiers on the Central Plains are fed by seepage from the rivers and by rainfall. They supply almost all the water for irrigation and for human use.
The groundwater of the Canterbury Plains is a large continuously flowing body of water within layers of silts, sands and gravel down to a depth of 500m.
The Waimakariri River is the source of Christchurch's pristine untreated drinking water through the underground aquifer system. It's also one of the largest and best examples of a braided river in New Zealand.

This is extremely hard to read. I started to format it for you but got hung up on (a). I guessed what you meant by $\delta^*(q,\ )=q$, but I was lost at the next part: $y\in *,\sigma\in$. At that point I simply gave up. Could you attempt to reformat it or at least explain what your notation means? – Rick Decker Oct 11 '12 at 1:19
1 Answer 1
You should probably edit your question with the work you've done.
First, your question seems ill-specified because you claim that $\delta^*$ is a function on $Q \times \Sigma^*$ but I really think you mean it's a function from $Q \times \Sigma^*$ to $Q$.
Next you need to consider what you might do induction on. You want to show that this function correctly produces some $q \in Q$ given any input $(q, w)$ with $q \in Q$ and $w \in \Sigma^*$. This may or may not be intuitive but since the definition of $\delta^*$ (in (a)) does not really make any assumptions about $q$ then it makes sense to induct on the length of $w$.
This leads to another issue which is how $\delta^*$ is defined on a single character or even the empty string (for your base case), but you can probably assume it's defined similarly to the definition of $\delta^*$ given in class. The induction step should follow naturally because the definition of $\delta^*$ is inductive...

You still need to update your original post with the work you've done. Honestly that question in the image is ill-specified in my head (maybe I'm crazy?).

Sleeping With A Blanket Overhead? What Does It Mean?
Meaning Of Sleeping With Blanket Overhead
Most of us have different bedtime rituals; however, we have this one thing in common, and that is, we often cover our head with a blanket when we are asleep.
For others, covering one's head with a blanket while sleeping may find it odd, but for most people, they love sleeping with a blanket over their head. However, what does it mean to sleep with a blanket overhead?
Sleeping with blanket overhead can mean a few things. First is that you may be cold, and covering your head with a blanket will keep you warm. Another thing is that you find the room bright, and you want to block the light by covering your head, and lastly, you just want the feeling of safe and secured by cocooning yourself with a blanket.
Even though this habit makes you feel comfortable and makes you fall asleep faster, it cannot deny the fact that it is dangerous for your health.
That is why you must know the health hazards it can cause you so that you can break this bad habit right away. Hence, listed below are the dangers of sleeping with a blanket overhead.
Dangers Of Sleeping Undercover With A Blanket
Blankets are used for protecting your body against the cold weather and sometimes, for insect bites when you are camping.
However, people find tucking their whole body from head to toes under a warm and cozy blanket give them the therapeutic vibe they need since it can help them manage their stress and anxiety.
Nonetheless, according to some experts, you should avoid covering your head with a blanket since it brings danger to your health, such as the following:
This can damage your brain
According to some studies, covering your head while sleeping can contribute to the causes of brain damage, and one of the well-known neurodegenerative disorders is so-called dementia.
Dementia, when it became progressive, may lead to another disorder called Alzheimer's disease. The reason why covering one's head may cause brain damage is that you have a restricted airflow to your brain since your nose and mouth cannot get enough oxygen.
Therefore, your brain does not get enough oxygen to function properly. When this happens for a longer period of time, the tissues and vessels in your brain will become damaged, which can lead to unwanted consequences, and worst it may cause death.
You may breathe in unclean air
Even though you are asleep, your body, especially your heart and brain, still need fresh air to function properly.
However, since your body is cocooned in a thick blanket, you cannot assure that the air you are breathing in is still clean since you created a tiny space wherein the air that circulates is fresh.
Therefore, there is a possibility that the air you are breathing in has dust particles, dirt, and bacteria, especially if your blanket is not clean. That is why some people trigger their allergies because of this bad habit since they breathe a dust-filled air particle confined only in that tiny space they created.
The risk for insomnia and other sleeping problems
Covering your head while sleeping can reduce the quality of your sleep, especially if you are a hot sleeper, yet you still love covering your head with a blanket.
You may find sweating or warm, and this can keep you awake throughout the night. Hence, if this habit continues over time, you may develop sleeping disorders such as insomnia, which is the leading sleeping disorder among Americans.
In addition to this, covering your head while asleep can also impair your breathing pattern since you have limited access to air, which can add up to the reason why you cannot sleep properly.
Greater risk for suffocation
Even though you find covering your head with a blanket at night comfortable, there is a specific risk this habit may bring, most notably to your respiratory system.
If you have underlying respiratory conditions such as asthma, heart problems, and sleep apnea, you may be at higher risk for suffocation since you have a limited supply of air inside your blanket.
That is why it is better you break off this bad habit, as this can lead to a greater risk of suffocation, especially for those people with lung disease when they cover their heads with a blanket while asleep.
Development of sleep apnea
What is sleep apnea? Sleep apnea is a serious sleeping disorder wherein there is a problem in the breathing pattern that can make you snore while you are asleep and give you the feeling of restlessness, even though you had a full night sleep.
The primary cause of sleep apnea is a narrowed airway circulation, which you can experience if you are sleeping while your head is covered with a blanket, as this can affect the quantity of air that can circulate on your airways.
It can lower your alertness during emergency situations
One major reason why you prefer sleeping with a covered head is to make it look dimmer and to lessen the noise or any kind of distraction that can hinder your sleep.
However, in return, you will be able to hear and smell right away if there is something that is happening around you, such as emergencies like fire or a thief trying to break in.
Therefore, to avoid such unfortunate events from happening, avoid this habit of covering your head while sleeping so that your senses are still alert, or you can be easily awakened when such things happen.
Instead of hiding your head to catch some good night's sleep, consider having a humidifier in your room to freshen the air and make the room set a vibe for sleeping.
Hence, you already know the hazards it can bring to your health if you continue sleeping with a covered head. However, on the other hand, there is one benefit this habit can do. You may continue reading it below to know more about it.
The Benefit Of Sleeping With A Blanket Overhead
While you may find this odd, there is actually one benefit this bad habit can bring. However, it does not outweigh the risks over this one benefit.
That is why it is better recommended to discontinue doing this if you have made this habit for so long.
The ability to breathe in warmer air
You might be wondering what benefit could breathe in a warmer air bring? Well, according to some people, breathing in a warmer air reduces the risk of catching a cold, and this is how it works:
When you catch a cold or flu, your body will start showing signs and symptoms such as having a sore throat, congested nose, and sometimes your ear might be a bit stuffy as well.
Since these body parts might become colder first before your other body parts, this means that a colder body implies a weaker immune system, which is the likelihood of getting sick.
Simply breathing in warmer air can help prevent illnesses and can keep your body temperature warmer. Moreover, breathing in cold air has always been linked to respiratory issues that cause diseases.
Therefore, you must break this old sleeping habit and just do these simple sleeping tips instead, so that you can still have that good night's sleep you get from that old habit. You can read more below to know these sleeping tips for a healthier and safer sleep.
Healthy sleeping habits for adults
Your habits during the daytime, and most especially before bedtime can affect the quality of your sleep since it can lead to a relaxing and healthy sleep, or a restless night.
That is why following a daily routine such as the food and drink that you eat, your schedule for the day, and lastly, the way you will spend your time before hitting the hay can greatly impact your sleep. In fact, just a few adjustments of time can make a difference in the quality of your sleep.
That is why some experts recommend completing this two-week sleep diary to understand further how your daily routine can affect the quality of your sleep.
If you have bad sleeping habits and you think that breaking of that habit can make your sleep uncomfortable, you should try these healthy sleeping habits to replace your bad habit and make your everyday sleep better and healthier.
Sleeping Tips
Try to follow these simple sleeping tips so that you can establish healthy sleeping habits.
Maintain a consistent sleep schedule
If you have established a sleep schedule wherein you must go to bed before 10'o clock in the evening and wake up at 6'o clock in the morning, you must strictly follow this schedule every day, even on weekends, or during your vacation.
In this way, your body already has its own body clock wherein you will automatically wake up on your own without setting the alarm.
In my case, since I go to work at 8'o clock in the morning, I wake up at five in the morning so that I can still have time to meditate before preparing myself to get to work. I need to go to bed around 9'o clock in the evening so that I can still an 8-hour full sleep since this is the recommended hours of sleep for adults.
Do a relaxing bedtime routine
Practicing a relaxing routine activity before bedtime, such as reading books or listening to classical music, can promote a healthy good night's sleep.
Moreover, these activities can help you set your mood from activities that can cause your excitement or anxiety juices to go up. Hence, catching asleep is more likely difficult since your mind and body are still active.
Avoid taking afternoon naps
Indeed, taking power naps for at least 10 to 15 minutes can get you throughout the day. However, if you have trouble catching sleep during the night, it is best if you eliminate taking naps at any time of the day.
Look for comfortable mattress and pillows
As we have been discussed on previous blog post that sleeping on a soft and comfortable pillow is the key to a good night's sleep; therefore, look for a pillow and mattress that will suit your sleeping position whether you are a side sleeper, back sleeper, or a sleeper who loves

If you're out and about and see an upside down sheep you could be forgiven for thinking it was just resting.
But Avon and Somerset Constabulary has warned it can actually be something much more sinister.
The force has warned people sheep could be in a near-death experience if they are lying on their back.
During the winter months sheep grow more wool and their fleece can become extremely heavy if there is a lot of rain.
his can cause the sheep to topple over due to the sheer weight and being left on their back.
If left for too long in this position, the animal can suffocate and die.
Police shared the following post on its rural crime page, Somerset Live reports.
A Facebook user has been warning others about the issue. In a post, she said: "If you spot a sheep in this position, they're not sunbathing.
"If they are left like this, they will die."
The post also offers advice on what to do if you find a sheep in the awkward position.
It says: "If you are able to, turn them up the right way, or try to find someone that can.
"If they have been upside down for a long time, it may take several attempts for them to stay upright."
The post also says people may have to hold on to them for a while while the water drains from their coats.


What is the Capital of Cuba?
What is the Capital of Cuba? Cuba's capital is Havana. Havana is a beautiful city where the streets are decorated with colorful houses, classical cars and artists.
Where is HavanaWhere is Havana?
Havana has been suffering in every period of its history, but it can be said that the capital of the country where people who have always stood up for freedom are living in Havana.
When did Havana Become the Capital?
Old Havana
the Conquistador Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar founded the city in 1515, near the city of Batabanó today. In 1519 Havana was moved to where it is today. The city develops as a result of the location's suitability and becomes an important commercial and military port.
It was attacked by a number of pirates, who were loaded with valuable treasures by Spanish ships. The city was burned in 1538 and plundered in 1553/1555. Havana became the capital of Cuba, the Spanish colony in 1607. Great Britain took the city in 1762, and then exchanged it for Florida. By passing the city back to the Spanish, it is structured as America's strongest protected city.
In the forbidden period in the US, it has become a popular attraction for American tourists. Although nightclubs and casinos were able to survive with the removal of the bans in the United States, they were closed following the Cuban revolution of 1959. Cuban revolutionaries took Havana on 3 January 1959 following the revolution.
Features of Havana
Capital of Cuba
It has a population of 2.11 million by 2018. The surface area is 728.3 square kilometers. Cuba has a semi-tropical climate. During short winter periods, they wind up with short-term winds coming from the north. The temperature difference between summer and winter is not much. The average annual temperature is 26 degrees. While there is rainfall between May and October in the country, it is dry between November and April.
Iy is Cuba's most important industrial region. Especially metal products, machinery and chemical products are important. Apart from these, rum, drinks such as Havana Club, tobacco and textile products are the other essential ones. Cigars produced in Cuba are called Havana.
The city is also the most important transportation center of the country. It has both an important natural harbor and an international airport. Havana Bay is one of the safest ports in the world. The passage to the open sea is limited by a very narrow passage, due to the natural formation of the shore line.
Important Places to See in Havana
Plaza de La Revolucion
It is one of Cuba's most visited cities, which is still influenced by the communist government. The Plaza de La Revolucion, where many events were carried out under the leadership of legendary leaders, attracts many tourists with its historical buildings, museums, and people's lifestyle. At the beginning of places to visit; Plaza de La Revolucion, Capitolio Nacional, and Plaza de Armas.

Ripening field corn lost to wildlife was measured in fall 1993 in 10 midwestern states that have produced 83% of the field corn in the United States over the past 10 years. Sampling of damage was stratified by producer expectation of likely wildlife damage or unlikely wildlife damage. Damage was assessed immediately before harvest. Two plots that measured 4.5 m x 2 rows were assessed in each selected field. Of assessed fields, wildlife damage was present in 340 of 1,259 (27.0%) likely damaged fields and 108 of 1,243 (8.7%) unlikely damaged fields. As a percentage of harvested production, birds (Aves) damaged an average of 0.19% of field corn while deer (Odocoileus spp.) damaged an average of 0.23% of field corn. Unidentified wildlife caused the loss of an additional 0.27% of corn. The average yield loss was 1.73 + 0.17 bu/ha. Loss rates were greater where producers had expected damage (3.7 bu/ha) than where damage had not been anticipated (1.5 bu/ha). Among states, yield lost to all wildlife differed among 3 groups of states. Wisconsin and Missouri had the greatest wildlife-caused loss rates. Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio had intermediate loss rates. Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, and South Dakota had lower loss rates. In total, an estimated 35 + 4 million bushels of corn were lost to wildlife in 1993 when harvested field corn production for the 10 selected states totaled 5.14 billion bushels. Total estimated value of field corn lost to wildlife was $92 + 9 million, when the harvested corn crop was valued at $13.3 billion in the 10 states.

I am thinking of extending an irreducible cuspidal representation to more bigger group. My question is almost same with the earlier one posted by Neal Harris except the only one.
Let me first invoke his original question.
"Let $E/F$ be a quadratic extension of number fields, and let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional Hermitian space over $E$.
Let $\tilde{G} := GU(V)$ and $G := U(V)$. Suppose that $(\pi, V_{\pi})$ is an irreducible cuspidal representation of $G.$
Is there an irreducible cuspidal representation $(\tilde{\pi}, V_{\tilde{\pi}})$ of $\tilde{G}$ such that $V_\pi \subset V_{\tilde{\pi}}|_{G}$? Note that here, the restriction is that of cusp forms, not of the representation itself."
The difference between mine and his is this; While his assumption G=U(2) and $\tilde{G}$=GU(2) hit the condition $\tilde{G}_{der}\subset G\subset\tilde{G}$, a core property after the Mattew's comment on the post, but my situation does not satisfy this.
Because, I am considering the case $G=E^{\times}, \tilde{G}=B^{\times}$ where E/F is quadratic extension of number fields and B is a quaternion algebra over F with a fixed embedding $E \hookrightarrow B$. Is there no hope in this case?
Since this question is very important to me, if you leave some comment or reference treating this, I will be very appreciate to you.

Looked at a slightly different way: the question of what happens when automorphic forms/repns are restricted to subgroups has complicated answers, in general. It can be treated as a problem in spectral decomposition, say in $L^2$. Another keyword is "period integral" for the integral expressions for the spectral components. Some examples are well-known in other terms: the "Mellin transform" integral that produces the standard L-function for GL(2) cuspforms can be construed (on the critical line!) as computing the spectral components of the restriction of the cuspform to the GL(1) imbedded in the upper left corner. The $GL(n-1)\times GL(n)$ integral formulas amount to computing the $GL(n-1)$ components of the restriction of a cuspform from $GL(n)$.
In other cases, sometimes it is feasible or elementary to compute periods of Eisenstein series, while the corresponding periods for cuspforms are much less elementary. (The Gross-Prasad conjectures were/are an example of this.)
In your specific situation, there are results of Waldspurger that may be approximately what you want.
Given that many of these periods/decomposition coefficients are values of L-functions at the center of the critical strip, except for trivial vanishing due to signs in functional equations, it is non-trivial to prove non-vanishing or vanishing. Thus, to ask that such a period be non-zero for exactly one cuspform would seem to be too much to ask, although perhaps very difficult to prove or disprove.

Elk Island National Park of Canada
Phenotypic Differences Between the Bison Subspecies
Historic range of plains and wood bison.© Parks Canada
The differences between plains and wood bison can be separated into two groups; pelage characters and structural characters. Plains bison tend to have pelage characters which are larger and more obvious than those of the wood bison. Whereas plains bison have large chaps, a full beard and neck mane and a well-demarcated cape, wood bison have no chaps, a thin pointy beard, a rudimentary neck mane and a cape that grades smoothly back to the loins. Structurally the highest point of the hump on a plains bison is directly over the front legs while the highest point of the wood bison is well forward of the front legs. There are differences in weights as well with the wood bison being considerably larger than the plains. The Park maintains a bison weight database going back to 1956 and during all that time there is only one record of a plains bison bull weighing more than 2000 pounds (909 kg) while over one-third of the wood bison bulls exceed this weight.
There has been some discussion as to whether the subspecies are simply ecotypes, and that if a wood bison was placed in plains bison habitat, or vice versa, it would assume the traits of the host bison, simply due to the environmental pressures under which it is placed. A large-scale phenotyping study was conducted during the early 1990s where almost every publicly managed bison herd (both plains and woods) was examined for its external phenotypic expression, and it proved that, despite the habitat in which they reside, they maintain the traits which characterize the subspecies. Recent research at the University of Alberta has conclusively proven a genetic difference between the two subspecies.PLAINS BISON

- Highest point of the hump is well forward of the front legs.
- Virtually no chaps on the front legs.
- A thin scraggly beard.
- The neck mane is short and does not extend much below the chest.
- The cape grades smoothly back towards the loins with little if any demarcation.
- The forelock lies forward in long strands over the forehead.
- The hair is usually darker, especially on the head.


Clicking Neck
Please read how the neck works before reading the following.
Most people fear that the clicking is caused by bone hitting bone. However, thankfully nowadays this is rare. If you have this it is likely that for many years you have been suffering severe pain and movement restriction. If this is you please go and see your GP for a referral to an Orthopaedic consultant as soon as possible.If you felt a click with a sudden or traumatic injury like a car accident or a fall you must see an Osteopath, Physiotherapist or doctor as soon as possible for a full assessment, because you may have damaged a vital ligament or bone.
If the noise is not painful it is most likely to be air pockets popping with the changes of pressure that movement causes inside the fluid of the neck joints. A clicking neck can also be caused by small particles swishing around in the fluid of the neck joints.
Painful clicking can be caused by soft tissue damage in the joint like cartilage that has been worn away or has broken off and is floating around in the joint. Clicking or clunking can also be caused by tendons or scar tissue slipping over bony prominences.
In summary – if your clicking neck is also painful you need to get it checked out but if it is not painful you need not worry about it. If in any doubt please get in touch!

Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institution Programs
It' s hard to believe, but many organizations are already accepting applications for teacher institutes occurring this coming summer. If you have never attended an institute at an historic site, you will walk away with a tremendous amount of new knowledge! Click on the links below for more information. Some topics include:
- Becoming Americans (1606–1781) (for educators in grades 3–6)
- African Americans in Eigteenth-Century Virginia (for educators in grades 3–8)
- Straight from the Sources: Women in Eighteenth-Century Virginia (for educators in grades 3–8)
- Apprenticeships, STEM, and Colonial Daily Life (for educators in grades 3–8)
Tennessee State MuseumDigital Learning Opportunities
Interview with a Historic Figure: In this program, a well-known Tennessean will be chosen by the teacher from the list below. When you connect with us, one of our educators will dress in period garb and take on the persona of the chosen figure. Your students will then act as reporters and interview this figure about their life and times. After the program, they will take what they have learned and write an article for their local newspaper. Students will be responsible for asking detailed questions of their subject in order to create an accurate narrative of their life and their impact on Tennessee history.
Mystery Artifacts: (Grades 3-8) When signing up for this program, teachers will be able to choose a subject and subsequent list of artifacts, all of which represent each exhibit in our museum. The teacher will be given background information on the objects ahead of our program date, but they will remain a complete mystery to the students. Once we are connected on screen, one of our educators will provide a quick introduction of why we are meeting and what the rules are of the "game." They will then have a limit of twenty questions to ask our educator, and about 30 minutes, to figure out what the artifacts are and what they were used for during that particular time period. Once the students have made their final guesses, an educator will finish the session by revealing the correct answers, and then go on to detail the history of each object, explain how it was used and describe why it is important.
Mystery Skype: This program explores the subject of United States geography and history! Once connected with one of our museum educators, the goal of this session is to let the students ask us geography based questions in order to correctly guess our location within the United States. Your students will need to prepare a list of spatial and directional questions before we connect, and it is vital that you do not give your kids any hints to our location before our session. Once they have correctly guessed where we are, your students will be given a brief history of Tennessee and, if time allows, we will open the floor for any other questions they might have!
Women's Suffrage CentennialTDOE Featured Content
This month the Tennessee Department of Education is highlighting the formation of women's associations and their leaders. In 1869, two national organizations (The American Woman Suffrage Association and The National Woman Suffrage Association) were formed to further the cause of women's suffrage. Although these associations were formed for different reasons, the leaders strived for the same thing: voting rights for women. The following resources are examples that teachers can use to begin exploring the Women's Suffrage Movement.
- PBS Learning Media: Elizabeth Cady Stanton
- DOCSTeach: Extending Suffrage to Women
- DOCSTeach: Evaluating the New Departure Strategy in the Fight for Women's Suffrage

Advent Calendar of Castles: 7th of December: Helmsley Castle
helmsley3helmsley-2helmsley1The original castle at Helmsley was built in the early 12th century by Walter Espec who also founded the spectacular Rievaulx abbey which you can see nearby. The original castle would have most likely been a wooden and earth structure. It was built in stone later in the 12th century, and the de Roos family modernised it. The earth works you see today date largely from the original castle and are unusual in that they are surviving medieval ring works, as in they literally ring the castle and continue to do so today.
The exceptionally tall east tower was built by Robert de Roos at the end of the 12th century, although it was added to in the 14th century to make it taller and more of a status symbol. Also in the 14th century the rooms on the first floor were probably converted into a private chamber, possibly for the use of the visiting Edward III. The castle passed briefly into the hands of Richard III, when he was Duke of Gloucester, when the de Roos family sold it to him in 1478. When he died at Bosworth in 1485 Henry VII gave it back to the de Roos.
Helmsley faced its greatest challenge during the civil war when it was held for King Charles and endured a three month siege. Ultimately Crowell's men were victorious and they blew up the east tower, literately splitting it in half. This is the state it remains in today. The east tower is only part of the castle as more domestic buildings have been added as the years went past.
The castle came into the hands of the Duncombe family and they lived there until the 18th century when they abandoned it. During the 18th and 19th century they used the remaining buildings for a manor court and social functions, including renting part of it to the local lawn tennis club. The castle came into the hands of the State in 1915.

Fading is a technique applied in behavior therapy, particularly behavior modification, as well as skill training settings, where an initial prompting to perform an action is gradually withdrawn until the need for it fades away.
The overall goal is for an individual to eventually not need prompts. As an individual gains mastery of a skill at a particular prompt level, the prompt is faded to a less intrusive prompt. This ensures that the individual does not become overly dependent on a particular prompt when learning a new behaviour or skill.
This approach built on studies in operant conditioning in which a new stimulus was presented alongside an existing one to which a response had been learnt. The old stimulus was gradually faded out, by a process of stimulus attenuation, its frequency or intensity reduced, and it was shown that this allowed the new stimulus to gain control of the response.

4.6 New-array Execute Functions
Normally, one executes a plan for the arrays with which the plan was created, by calling fftw_execute(plan) as described in Using Plans. However, it is possible for sophisticated users to apply a given plan to a different array using the "new-array execute" functions detailed below, provided that the following conditions are met:
The alignment issue is especially critical, because if you don't use fftw_malloc then you may have little control over the alignment of arrays in memory. For example, neither the C++ new function nor the Fortran allocate statement provide strong enough guarantees about data alignment. If you don't use fftw_malloc, therefore, you probably have to use FFTW_UNALIGNED (which disables most SIMD support). If possible, it is probably better for you to simply create multiple plans (creating a new plan is quick once one exists for a given size), or better yet re-use the same array for your transforms.
For rare circumstances in which you cannot control the alignment of allocated memory, but wish to determine where a given array is aligned like the original array for which a plan was created, you can use the fftw_alignment_of function:
 int fftw_alignment_of(double *p);
Two arrays have equivalent alignment (for the purposes of applying a plan) if and only if fftw_alignment_of returns the same value for the corresponding pointers to their data (typecast to double* if necessary).
If you are tempted to use the new-array execute interface because you want to transform a known bunch of arrays of the same size, you should probably go use the advanced interface instead (see Advanced Interface)).
The new-array execute functions are:
 void fftw_execute_dft(
 const fftw_plan p,
 fftw_complex *in, fftw_complex *out);
 void fftw_execute_split_dft(
 const fftw_plan p,
 double *ri, double *ii, double *ro, double *io);
 void fftw_execute_dft_r2c(
 const fftw_plan p,
 double *in, fftw_complex *out);
 void fftw_execute_split_dft_r2c(
 const fftw_plan p,
 double *in, double *ro, double *io);
 void fftw_execute_dft_c2r(
 const fftw_plan p,
 fftw_complex *in, double *out);
 void fftw_execute_split_dft_c2r(
 const fftw_plan p,
 double *ri, double *ii, double *out);
 void fftw_execute_r2r(
 const fftw_plan p,
 double *in, double *out);
These execute the plan to compute the corresponding transform on the input/output arrays specified by the subsequent arguments. The input/output array arguments have the same meanings as the ones passed to the guru planner routines in the preceding sections. The plan is not modified, and these routines can be called as many times as desired, or intermixed with calls to the ordinary fftw_execute.
The plan must have been created for the transform type corresponding to the execute function, e.g. it must be a complex-DFT plan for fftw_execute_dft. Any of the planner routines for that transform type, from the basic to the guru interface, could have been used to create the plan, however.


Planting a Tree Ceremony.jpg
Planting a Tree Ceremony
The unity tree planting ceremony can be used to symbolize the joining together of two individuals or the joining of two families.
You set up a separate table, on which you will place a potted tree/sapling (something perhaps with special meaning to the couple). If you choose to have the ceremony symbolize the joining together of both families' then upon the entrance of the mothers, each mother goes to the table and scoops in a small amount of dirt. Then they take their seats. During a specific reading or song, the couple will each add the rest of dirt and water the plant together. After the ceremony, the couple should plant the tree in a special location to symbolize the putting down of roots, longevity and strengths in their marriage.
