Gokteik Viaduct
Nawnghkio, Shan, Myanmar
335 feet high / 102 meters high
120 foot span / 37 meter span

The largest railway trestle in the world upon its completion in 1901, the Gokteik Viaduct is the highest bridge in Myanmar. Located in the center of the country about 60 miles (100 kms) northeast of the largest city of Mandalay, the rail line was constructed as a way for the British Empire to expand their influence in the region. Constructed when the country was originally called Burma, the bridge was designed and fabricated by the Pennsylvania Steel Company and shipped overseas. Construction was overseen by Sir Arthur Rendel, engineer for the Burma Railroad Company. Stretching 2,260 feet (689 mtrs) from end to end, the viaduct has 14 towers that span 40 feet (12 mtrs) along with a double tower 80 feet (24 mtrs) long. These 15 towers support 10 deck truss spans of 120 feet (37 mtrs) along with six plate girder spans 60 feet (18 mtrs) long and an approach span of 40 feet (12 mtrs). Many sources have put the height of the bridge at 820 feet (250 mtrs). This is supposedly a measurement to the river level as it flows underground through a tunnel at the point it passes underneath the trestle. The true height of the bridge as measured from the rail deck to the ground on the downstream side of the tallest tower is 335 feet (102 mtrs).
Although larger concrete viaducts and steel cantilever bridges were constructed before and after Gokteik, no other conventional box tower and girder type steel trestle has ever exceeded it in size except for the monstrous Lethbridge Viaduct in Alberta, Canada which is about the same in height but more than twice the length. The Joso bridge in the U.S. state of Washington, the Poughkeepsie bridge in the U.S. state of New York and the original Kinzua viaduct in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania are the only other traditional steel trestles that are equal in size to Gokteik.
Gokteik also had the tallest bridge piers in the world at the time of its completion at 97.5 meters. The current record is now held by France's Millau Viaduct. Prior to Millau's record breaking bridge piers of 245 meters, the history of these towering structures has been almost entirely in Europe outside of two U.S. spans. Before Millau the 178 meter piers of Germany's Kochertalbrücke held the record for 25 years. Before Kocher the tallest were the 147 meter pier of Italy's Rago Viaduct. Austria held the record before Rago with the famous 145 meter tall piers of Europabrücke. Before that California's Pit River Bridge had the tallest at 109 meters.
Gokteik bridge can be reached by taking a train from Mandalay or Pyin U Lwin north towards Nawnghkio where the bridge is located about 3 miles (5 kms) further east. A round trip ticket from Mandalay to the bridge costs around $8 for foreigners. Burmese soldiers are stationed on the train as well as on top of and underneath the bridge to prevent any potential attacks.

Let f and g be differentiable functions for all x\in\mathbb{R}
Now if f(x)=(g\circ f')(x), can I conclude that because f is differentiable,
thus (g\circ f') is differenitable.
And further that if (g\circ f') is differentiable then:
(g\circ f')'=g(f'(x))\cdot f''(x) and thus f is twice differentiable?
If not, then how about if g is bijective and thus has an inverse g^{-1}, and the inverse is differentiable.
f(x)=(g\circ f')
(g^{-1}\circ f)(x)=g^{-1}\circ(g\circ f')(x)=f'(x)
And now g^{-1}\circ f is a combination of 2 differentiable functions, thus
(g^{-1}\circ f)'=\left(f'(x)\right)'=f''(x)
then f is twice differentiable?
This is not homework, I am just thinking.

Drawing Out the Gold
You are invited to an immersive exhibition by Katheryn Leopoldseder
Within a hallowed sepulchre, accompanied by sound and earthy smell, lies an exquisite Crown of Golden Alfalfa.
Drawing Out the Gold looks beyond the harsh means by which the artist's materials are mined and pays homage to scientific innovations that instead offer us an alternative; a collaboration with the ingenuity of the natural world.
Witnessing the decimation of his childhood land through industrial gold mining, nano-scientist Jorge Gardea-Torresdey discovered that Alfalfa can mine alluvial gold through phytoremediation; drawing precious metal from the soil into its roots, stems and leaves.
The Crown adorns the head, symbolising a shift in thinking. Its flat underside encircles the head like a halo. A historic reference to haloes depicted in religious art. Symbolising illuminated wisdom and bestowed authority.
To wear the Crown, materialises the potential of a collaboration between nature and humanity; into a signifier of royal identity; as people capable of positive stewardship of the earth.

Bounded mean oscillation
In harmonic analysis, a function of bounded mean oscillation, also known as a BMO function, is a real-valued function whose mean oscillation is bounded (finite). The space of functions of bounded mean oscillation (BMO), is a function space that, in some precise sense, plays the same role in the theory of Hardy spaces Hp that the space L∞ of essentially bounded functions plays in the theory of Lp-spaces: it is also called John–Nirenberg space, after Fritz John and Louis Nirenberg who introduced and studied it for the first time.

According to Nirenberg (1985, p. 703 and p. 707), the space of functions of bounded mean oscillation was introduced by John (1961, pp. 410–411) in connection with his studies of mappings from a bounded set Ω belonging to ℝn into ℝn and the corresponding problems arising from elasticity theory, precisely from the concept of elastic strain: the basic notation was introduced in a closely following paper by John & Nirenberg (1961), where several properties of this function spaces were proved. The next important step in the development of the theory was the proof by Charles Fefferman of the duality between BMO and the Hardy space H1, in the noted paper Fefferman & Stein 1972: a constructive proof of this result, introducing new methods and starting a further development of the theory, was given by Akihito Uchiyama.
- |Q| is the volume of Q, i.e. its Lebesgue measure
- uQ is the average value of u on the cube Q, i.e.
Note. The use of cubes Q in ℝn as the integration domains on which the mean oscillation is calculated, is not mandatory: Wiegerinck (2001) uses balls instead and, as remarked by Stein (1993, p. 140), in doing so a perfectly equivalent of definition of functions of bounded mean oscillation arises.
BMO functions are locally p–integrable
BMO functions are locally Lp if 0 < p < ∞, but need not be locally bounded.
BMO is a Banach space
The supremum of the mean oscillation is called the BMO norm of u and is denoted by ||u||BMO (and in some instances it is also denoted ||u||*). The function ||u||BMO becomes a norm on BMO functions after quotienting out by the constant functions (which have BMO norm 0).
Averages of adjacent cubes are comparable
As the name suggests, the mean or average of a function in BMO shouldn't oscillate very much when computing it over cubes close to each other in position and scale. To be more precise, if Q and R are dyadic cubes such that their boundaries touch and the sidelength of Q is no less than one-half the sidelength of R, then
where C>0 is some universal constant. This property is, in fact, equivalent to f being in BMO, that is, if f is a locally integrable function such that |fR-fQ|≤C for all dyadic cubes Q and R adjacent in the sense described above, then f is in BMO and its BMO norm is proportional to the constant C.
The John–Nirenberg Inequality
The John–Nirenberg Inequality is an estimate that governs how far a function of bounded mean oscillation may deviate from its average by a certain amount.
There are constants c1,c2 > 0 such that whenever f ∈ BMO(ℝn), then for any cube Q in ℝn,
Conversely, if this inequality holds over all cubes with some constant C in place of ||f||BMO, then f is in BMO with norm at most a constant times C.
A consequence: the distance in BMO to L∞
The John-Nirenberg inequality can actually give more information than just the BMO norm of a function. For a locally integrable function f, let A(f) be the infimal A>0 for which
The John–Nirenberg inequality implies that A(f)≤C||f||BMO for some universal constant C. For an L∞ function, however, the above inequality will hold for all A>0. In other words, A(f)=0 if f is in L∞. Hence the constant A(f) gives us a way of measuring how far a function in BMO is from the subspace L∞. This statement can be made more precise: there is a constant C, depending only on the dimension n, such that for any function f ∈ BMO(ℝn) the following two-sided inequality holds
Generalizations and extensions
The spaces BMOH and BMOA
When the dimension of the ambient space is 1, the space BMO can be seen as a subspace of harmonic functions on the unit disk and plays a major role in the theory of Hardy spaces: by using definition 2, it is possible to define the BMO(T) space on the unit circle as the space of functions such that
unit disk is said to belong to the Harmonic BMO or in the BMOH space if and only if it is the Poisson integral of a BMO(T) function. Therefore BMOH is the space of all functions u with the form:An Analytic function on the
equipped with the norm:
The subspace of analytic functions belonging BMOH is called the Analytic BMO space or the BMOA space.
BMOA as the dual space of H1(D)
Charles Fefferman in his original paper proved that the real BMO space is dual to the real valued harmonic Hardy space on the upper half-space ℝn×. Today in the theory of Complex and Harmonic analysis the following - modern - approach for analytic functions, is more often considered. Let Hp(D) be the Analytic Hardy space on the unit Disc. For p = 1 we identify (H1)* with BMOA by pairing f ∈H1(D) and g ∈ BMOA using the anti-linear transformation Tg
Notice that although the limit always exists for an H1 function f and Tg is an element of the dual space (H1)*, since the transformation is anti-linear, we don't have an isometric isomorphism between (H1)* and BMOA. However one can obtain an isometry if they consider a kind of space of conjugate BMOA functions.
The space VMO
The space VMO of functions of vanishing mean oscillation is the closure in BMO of the continuous functions that vanish at infinity. It can also be defined as the space of functions whose "mean oscillations" on cubes Q are not only bounded, but also tend to zero uniformly as the radius of the cube Q tends to 0 or infinity. The space VMO is a sort of Hardy space analogue of the space of continuous functions vanishing at infinity, and in particular the real valued harmonic Hardy space H1 is the dual of VMO.
The Dyadic BMO space
Let Δ denote the set of dyadic cubes in ℝn. The space dyadic BMO, written BMOd is the space of functions satisfying the same inequality as for BMO functions, only that the supremum is over all dyadic cubes. This supremum is sometimes denoted ||•||BMOd.
This space is contained in but still distinct from BMO as it depends greatly on the position of the dyadic cubes. In particular, the function log(x)χ[0,∞) is a function that is in dyadic BMO but not in BMO. However, if a function f is such that ||f(•-x)||BMOd≤C for all x in ℝn for some C>0, then by the one-third trick f is also in BMO.
Although dyadic BMO is a much narrower class than BMO, many theorems that are true for BMO are much simpler to prove for dyadic BMO, and in some cases one can recover the original BMO theorems by proving them first in the special dyadic case.
Examples of BMO functions include the following:
- All bounded (measurable) functions. If f is in L∞, then ||f||BMO≤2||f||∞: however, the converse is not true as the following example shows.
- The function log(|P|) for any polynomial P that is not identically zero: in particular, this is true also for |P(x)|=|x|.
- If w is an A∞ weight, then log(w) is BMO. Conversely, if f is BMO, then eδf is an A∞ weight for δ>0 small enough: this fact is a consequence of the John-Nirenberg Inequality.
- ^ Aside with the collected papers of Fritz John, a general reference for the theory of functions of bounded mean oscillation, with also many (short) historical notes, is the noted book by Stein (1993, chapter IV).

What is the.PCH File Extension?
.PCH File Extension Description:
Microsoft Visual Studio uses The PCH file extension. Visual Studio contains a set of tools and processes that are used to build programs from source code written in programming languages. It can be used to create GUIs (Graphic User Interfaces), consoles, web sites, Windows Forms tools, web applications and web service functions. The program can support several programming languages such as C, C++, VB.NET, and C#. The program includes a code editor, a debugger, a designer for GUI software, class designer for creating object blueprints, a designer for database structures and a web designer. There are also several add-ons and plug-ins available that can be added to the program to provide additional functions. The program has language specific versions, particularly Microsoft Visual C++.
The Microsoft Visual C++ version of the program is a compiler program for the languages C and C++. Compilers are used to create source code files out of written program script. The program includes all the tools of the generic program, except they are specifically designed for the C and C++ programming language. This version of the program uses the PCH file extension. The file extension.pch is attached to header files. Header files with the.pch file extension are attached to source code files that are compiled by the program. Source code files contain programming scripts, which are used to create processes or objects. Source code files can then be run by a debugger program to check for errors in the script, linked together to form a library, DLL (Dynamic Link Library) or an executable file.
Files with the PCH file extension tell other software development programs what resources the source code file needs. The PCH file extension is used to store descriptions of the process stored in the source code it is attached to. These files are also written in either the C or C++ programming language.
The Pixeur program also uses the PCH file extension. The program is used to check and identify all the colors in a computer screen. The software identifies the Hex, Long, RGB and Color Value of any hue. Pixeur can also store the history of all the colors selected by the user. These colors are stored in files with the PCH file extension. These files are called Pixeur Color History files.

Wiley Park Flower Delivery
Send beautiful flowers and gifts to Wiley Park. Whether for birthdays, mothers day, valentines day or any other occasion, we can deliver to Wiley Park. Check out our gorgeous creations today.
Wiley Park Name Origin
Wiley Park is named after John Wiley, who bequeathed land for the park to the former Canterbury Council when he died in 1895.
Wiley Park Settlement History
Settlement of the area dates from 1832 when the first land grant was made, with development primarily from the 1940s and 1950s. The park bequeathed by John Wiley to the Council in 1895 was progressively developed through the 1920s and 1930s, and has more recently been redeveloped as a passive recreation area with a pond and amphitheatre. The population fluctuated slightly during the 1990s, and then increased slightly between 2001 and 2011 as new dwellings were added to the area.
Wiley Park Features
Major features of the area include Wiley Park, Defoe Street Reserve, Johnsen Square, the Wiley Park railway station and several schools.


Natural selection in populations subject to a migration load
Migration tends to oppose the effects of divergent natural selection among populations. Numerous theoretical and empirical studies have demonstrated that this migrationselection balance constrains genetic divergence among populations. In contrast, relatively few studies have examined immigration's effects on fitness and natural selection within recipient populations. By constraining local adaptation, migration can lead to reduced fitness, known as a migration load, which in turn causes persistent natural selection. We develop a simple two‐island model of migrationselection balance that, although very general, also reflects the natural history of Timema cristinae walking‐stick insects that inhabit two host plant species that favor different cryptic color patterns. We derive theoretical predictions about how migration rates affect the level of maladaptation within populations (measured as the frequency of less‐cryptic color‐pattern morphs), which in turn determines the selection differential (the within‐generation morph frequency change). Using data on color morph frequencies from 25 natural populations, we confirm previous results showing that maladaptation is higher in populations receiving more immigrants. We then present novel evidence that this increased maladaptation leads to larger selection differentials, consistent with our model. Our results provide comparative evidence that immigration elevates the variance in fitness, which in turn leads to larger selection differentials, consistent with Fisher's Theorem of Natural Selection. However, we also find evidence that recurrent adult migration between parapatric populations may tend to obscure the effects of selection.

Pets left behind in the North are focus of Israeli volunteers
YOKNE'AM, Israel, Aug. 15 (JTA) -- When tens of thousands of Israelis fled their homes as Hezbollah rockets began raining down on northern Israel, they left behind not only hastily locked-up houses but, in many cases, their pets.
After days and weeks of being left to fend for themselves, many of the animals were found starving and dehydrated in the streets of northern towns and cities. Estimates put the number of animals in distress at about 8,000.
Three dogs were killed after a rocket hit the house in Kiryat Shmona where their owner had tied them up and left them. Some dogs were found wounded, their bodies riddled with shrapnel. Many others, terrified by the sound of rocket fire and artillery blasts, fled their homes and began living on the streets.
campaign_puppies.gif Soon after the fighting began, Hakol Chai, an Israeli animal welfare group, began sending volunteers to feed and water animals and rescue those in need of medical attention. Yadin Elam, the organization's director, finds it hard to believe so many pets were left behind.
The owners "probably thought it wouldn't take so long, thinking, 'We'll leave food for our pets.' Some of them called us," Elam said. "I have some issues with those people, but they're not the same as people who didn't do anything. Some even chained their dogs in the yard."
Largely supported by donations from American Jews, Hakol Chai sent 12 tons of pet food, hundreds of water bowls, medicine and other supplies to the North during Israel's monthlong war with Hezbollah.
Risking Katyusha fire, volunteers scattered at night into the streets of cities like Kiryat Shmona, Nahariya and Haifa looking for animals that needed medical help, and putting food and water in the streets for the others.
Noam Vardi, Hakol Chai's volunteer coordinator, started the job two weeks before the war began. He wasn't sure how he would find volunteers, but when the war started he was flooded with calls from people anxious to help.
campaign_food3.gif The first night, instead of finding cats to feed in the town of Ma'alot, volunteers were overwhelmed by the stench of death: Many cats already had died.
Since that night, Vardi and his volunteers rescued countless animals by putting out food and water and finding foster homes for others. Many of the cats were street cats that had lived off residents' handouts and garbage.
With the locals no longer there, their situation turned desperate, Vardi said.
Vardi tells the story of two large, emaciated dogs his team found during one of their night rescue tours.
Their owner had left food and water for a few days, but had chained the dogs on leashes scampaign_dogfood.gifo short that the food was just out of reach.
The dogs were brought to a shelter in the center of the country, as was another dog found with internal injuries after he tried to make his way into a bomb shelter. Instead of being brought to safety, he was attacked by the people in the shelter, Elam said.
Meytal Nuriel, a 23-year-old student from Kiryat Shmona, made sure a neighbor took care of her cat when she left for central Israel. Last week she decided she wanted to collect him, but was too scared to do it herself.
She read about Hakol Chai online, and had volunteers pick up the cat and bring him to her.
"If I weren't so scared, I would have gone myself to help them," she said.
"They're doing something really important -- without them, many animals would starve."
On one of Hakol Chai's patrols, a collection of hungry animals was discovered in a yard -- three dogs, eight puppies, pigeons and rabbits crowded inside small cages alongside 20 chickens, parrots, and numerous cats.
Foster homes are being found for the animals.
Farm animals also were affected by the fighting. Farmers say cows are producing less milk because of the stress. Some 20 cows and calves were killed by rocket fire on Kibbutz Amir, near Kiryat Shmona, Hakol Chai officials said.
On Sunday night, just before the U.N. cease-fire went into effect, volunteers gathered in the town of Yokne'am and debated whether or not to go to Kiryat Shmona, where they had planned to distribute food and water.
Some returned to the center of the country, but two others -- including a volunteer who had traveled from the United States to help with the rescue effort -- headed north. Noa Ginzburg, 25, decided to volunteer.
"It's unthinkable that people would leave their animals behind," she said.
Donations to Hakol Chai relief efforts can be made through _URL_, or can be mailed to Hakol Chai, POB 51858, Tel Aviv 67214, or in the U.S., to CHAI, POB 3341, Alexandria, VA 22302, USA.

Tweak MRS settings to avoid interruptions
The words "corrupted mailbox data" tend to make Microsoft Exchange administrators break out in a cold sweat. After all, the first thing that those words bring to mind is the possible necessity of a database restore. And we all know how much fun those are.
The TechNet Exchange 2010 Server forum contains multiple discussions about encountering bad or corrupted items during mailbox moves and the resulting fuss when administrators see messages such as Error: This mailbox exceeded the maximum number of corrupted items that were specified for this move request. This error appears when administrators run the Get-MoveRequestStatistics cmdlet to check the status of a mailbox move that's in progress. The error can also be seen logged as event 1100 from the source MSExchange Mailbox Replication in the Application event log.
Just what causes such problematic items? How worried should you be if you encounter this error? And what can you do about the issue? Read on to find out.
Mailbox Replication Service and Bad Items
Conceptually, the error is easy to understand. The Exchange 2010 Mailbox Replication Service (MRS) runs on Client Access servers and is responsible for moving mailbox contents asynchronously. In other words, MRS moves mailboxes behind the scenes so that users can continue to work until their new mailboxes are available and MRS switches the AD points for the user account to point to the new mailbox location. MRS can deal with Exchange Server 2003, Exchange Server 2007, Exchange 2010, and Exchange Online (part of Microsoft), so it's a pretty capable component. As we'll discuss later, MRS can also play a role in keeping your Exchange databases in good health.
MRS processes mailboxes according to move requests. A move request describes the target database and other parameters that influence how MRS should deal with the mailbox. For example, one of the parameters (SuspendWhenReadyToComplete) for a move request can be used to suspend the move after the mailbox contents are nearly fully copied. This action allows an administrator to review the move report, decide that everything is OK, and then resume the move request to allow MRS to flip the Active Directory (AD) settings, and redirect the user to his or her new mailbox before resuming the move. Another parameter indicates the permitted bad item limit -- in other words, the number of corrupted items that MRS can tolerate before completing a mailbox move request. In this context, "corrupted" means that MRS determines a property or properties of the item to be incorrect, malformed, or in some other form that is unacceptable to Exchange.
The default value for the bad item limit is 0, meaning that MRS will tolerate no data loss in a mailbox move. This is sometimes appropriate when data absolutely must be retained. However, you might find that you can't move mailboxes at all because MRS continues to encounter corrupted data and fail with the error message mentioned earlier. For this reason, best practice is to set a reasonable limit for bad items. You should also check mailbox-move reports after requests complete, to determine whether the limit is in fact reasonable or if valuable data is being lost. I think anything in the 10-to-20 range is reasonable, but that depends on your circumstances and organizational requirements.
If you decide that a mailbox really must be moved no matter how much data is lost en route, you can set a very high bad item limit, which forces MRS to move the mailbox at all costs. The maximum setting is _PHONE_, but 100 is probably a better starting point. Note that after you specify a bad item limit equal to or higher than 51, you also need to pass the AcceptLargeDataLoss switch parameter to tell MRS that it's acceptable to drop all corrupted items.
Positive Intervention Is Required
If a move request is halted because MRS encounters too many bad items, an administrator can intervene to amend the move-request parameters and get things moving again. Use the Set-MoveRequest cmdlet to amend the BadItemLimit parameter and increase the tolerance for bad items until MRS can move the mailbox, and then instruct MRS to resume the move.
For example, suppose that the move for TRedmond's mailbox has stalled because MRS has encountered too many bad items. The first order of business is to view the move report. Use the Exchange Management Console (EMC) to view the properties of the move request, find the items that are causing trouble, and perhaps figure out whether you need to intervene in the mailbox before continuing. See the Microsoft article "View Move Request Properties" for details about how to access a mailbox-move report.
Suppose that the original bad item limit for the move request was 10, and MRS encountered more than 10 corruptions as it copied data from the source to the new target mailbox. We can scan the mailbox move report to discover how far MRS managed to get before reaching this limit. MRS creates checkpoints on a frequent basis so that it can resume a move request without redoing work; MRS reports this checkpoint status in terms of percentage complete. This percentage reports the overall progress of the move and takes into account other processing, such as connecting to source and target servers, setting up the target mailbox, and preparing to copy. The phase between 25 and 90 percent of the overall move is when copying of mailbox data occurs. If MRS encounters a bad item limit, it will happen at some point in this range.
In our example, suppose that the mailbox-move report indicates that MRS reached 80 percent before stopping the move. The last 10 percent or so of a mailbox move is used to perform a final incremental synchronization of mailbox contents and to switch the mailbox pointers in AD. At 80 percent, there isn't much more mailbox data to copy, so there's a fair chance that MRS can finish copying data from the source mailbox if you increase the bad item count to 20. To do so, you can run the following commands in the Exchange Management Shell (EMS):
Set-MoveRequest -BadItemLimit 20 |
The first command retrieves information about the move request. This information is piped to the second command, which increases the bad item limit to 20 and pipes the data to the third command. That final command tells MRS to resume working on the move request. If things happen as we expect, MRS will complete the move request and all will be well in the world.
Fools Rush In Where MRS Discards Data
Before you increase bad item limits, you must understand that MRS discards every bad item that it meets; it doesn't copy this data from the source to the target mailbox. Thus, a limit of 20 bad items means that MRS can discard as many as 20 discrete pieces of data from a user's mailbox while it is en route to a new home. This data might be terribly unimportant, as in the case of an old calendar meeting request. Then again, it might be a message that contains an Excel attachment describing the current year's budget. Fortunately, in 99.9999 percent of cases, bad items are extremely corrupted and highly unlikely to be accessible by a client.
Letting MRS dump a lot of bad data as it moves mailboxes might be deemed a very bad thing. However, bad items are corrupted, and it's good to give the mailbox the equivalent of a colonic irrigation from time to time, to remove accumulated debris. Indeed, Microsoft moves mailboxes frequently between databases in its Exchange Online cloud service, both to balance workload across available servers and to ensure that mailboxes stay squeaky clean and don't introduce corruption that could compromise the databases' service.
Corrupted items arise through many sources. Bugs are the most obvious and can occur on both the server and its clients. Exchange is now a very mature product, and its developers have had years to eliminate potential problems that might introduce corruption at the database level. You're likely to see more corrupted items when you move mailboxes from an Exchange 2003 server than when moving mailboxes from Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010.
The root cause of item corruption is more likely to be a client problem than a server issue. A profusion of clients can connect to Exchange, using a multitude of connection methods, including add-on software products that integrate with clients such as Microsoft Outlook. Clashes and corruption can occur when multiple clients attempt to access the same item concurrently. Given the number of mobile devices that connect to Exchange, it should be no surprise that corruptions exist, especially in calendar items.
Based on purely anecdotal evidence in online forums, users of Research In Motion (RIM) BlackBerry devices seem to experience more corrupted calendar items than do users who access Exchange only through Outlook or Microsoft ActiveSync devices. A look through calendar items in a mailbox (use the Outlook list view) often identifies problems such as apparently blank items or items with multiple versions (i.e., conflicts). Items such as these can cause MRS problems and are best removed before mailbox moves are attempted.
The general rule is that the older the item, the more likely it is to cause a problem. If you, like me, have items in your mailbox that go back to 1996, it should be no surprise that some item properties that Exchange expects a well-behaved MAPI client to populate might not have been written correctly into the database.
Other Bad Item Limits
Mailbox moves aren't the only work that MRS does. Any request that MRS processes can have a defined bad item limit. Think of MRS as a component that shuttles data around for Exchange, and you can understand why it implements bad item limits in everything it does. Clearly, there's no point in moving corrupted data from one place to another

basic knowledge which will allow them to treat and protect themselves from illness. This information is important for ordinary people, so the Linked Open Data based herb system is valuable. It will help people to reduce the costs of healthcare. Therefore, these information focus on the medicinal properties of the plant (i.e., what illness can it be applied to, which body part does it affect/ cure, the preparation mode, and the plant part to be used). Due to unstructured and scattered herb information published in majority of herbal portal nowadays, the design of ontology is one of the best techniques to organize the herbal research information. Therefore, development of Nepalese herb information system as a linked database for herbal research domain will be crucial for a feeling of social participation. The proposed system is for providing linked information about herbs that are required by herb researchers and those that researchers are willing to share. Furthermore, new technologies have been brought into this system as well. Resource Description Framework (RDF) is used to define all entities of herbs, all of which are conveniently changed entities. Furthermore, RDF is also useful for linking herbs to external datasets by using the Linked Open Data (LOD). On the other hand, this system can retrieve information about herbs from LOD which corresponds to the binomial name of the herb in the system.

Capturing connector logging can be very helpful when diagnosing error messages or other unexpected behavior.
You will simply need to set two connection properties to begin capturing connector logging.
- Logfile: A filepath which designates the name and location of the log file.
- Verbosity: This is a numerical value (1-5) that determines the amount of detail in the log. See the page in the Connection Properties section for a breakdown of the five levels.
- MaxLogFileSize: When the limit is hit, a new log is created in the same folder with the date and time appended to the end. The default limit is 100 MB. Values lower than 100 kB will use 100 kB as the value instead.
- MaxLogFileCount: A string specifying the maximum file count of log files. When the limit is hit, a new log is created in the same folder with the date and time appended to the end and the oldest log file will be deleted. Minimum supported value is 2. A value of 0 or a negative value indicates no limit on the count.
Once this property is set, the connector will populate the log file as it carries out various tasks, such as when authentication is performed or queries are executed. If the specified file doesn't already exist, it will be created.
The verbosity level determines the amount of detail that the connector reports to the Logfile. Verbosity levels from 1 to 5 are supported. These are described in the following list:
|1||Setting Verbosity to 1 will log the query, the number of rows returned by it, the start of execution and the time taken, and any errors.|
|2||Setting Verbosity to 2 will log everything included in Verbosity 1 and additional information about the request.|
|3||Setting Verbosity to 3 will additionally log HTTP headers, as well as the body of the request and the response.|
|4||Setting Verbosity to 4 will additionally log transport-level communication with the data source. This includes SSL negotiation.|
|5||Setting Verbosity to 5 will additionally log communication with the data source and additional details that may be helpful in troubleshooting problems. This includes interface commands.|
The Verbosity should not be set to greater than 1 for normal operation. Substantial amounts of data can be logged at higher verbosities, which can delay execution times.
To refine the logged content further by showing/hiding specific categories of information, see LogModules.
You may want to refine the exact information that is recorded to the log file. This can be accomplished using the LogModules property.
This property allows you to filter the logging using a semicolon-separated list of logging modules.
All modules are four characters long. Please note that modules containing three letters have a required trailing blank space. The available modules are:
- EXEC: Query Execution. Includes execution messages for original SQL queries, parsed SQL queries, and normalized SQL queries. Query and page success/failure messages appear here as well.
- INFO: General Information. Includes the connection string, driver version (build number), and initial connection messages.
- HTTP: HTTP Protocol messages. Includes HTTP requests/responses (including POST messages), as well as Kerberos related messages.
- SSL : SSL certificate messages.
- OAUT: OAuth related failure/success messages.
- SQL : Includes SQL transactions, SQL bulk transfer messages, and SQL result set messages.
- META: Metadata cache and schema messages.
- TCP : Incoming and Ongoing raw bytes on TCP transport layer messages.
LogModules=INFO;EXEC;SSL ;SQL ;META;
Note that these modules refine the information as it is pulled after taking the Verbosity into account.

Economics Research Institute Study Paper
Utah State University Department of Economics
Careful studies of the distribution of income in nineteenth-century United States have been hampered by a paucity of available data. This study undertakes the analysis of factors influencing the distribution of personal income in communities in the Great Basin region of the western United States for the years 1860-61 and 1870. The study utilizes estimates of full income by individual based on information contained in the General Economic Records of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, demographic and economic data from the manuscript censuses of 1860 and 1870, and other relevant data from contemporary sources. Mean income and Gini ratios are calculated for nearly all Great Basin communities, and econometric analysis is undertaken to identify the impact on income distribution of changes in mean income, community size, crop destruction by grasshoppers, and the percentage of the population born in non-English speaking countries. The econometric results are compared to the results of an earlier study that looked at factors influencing income inequality for the Great Basin as a whole over the period _PHONE_. Of particular interest is the impact of ethnic mix on relative income inequality. While the earlier study found that Gini ratios for the Great Basin region rose as the fraction of the population born in non-English speaking countries increased, the current study finds that Gini ratios first rose, then fell as the percentage of the community born in non-English speaking countries rose. At the territorial level, grasshopper infestation increased relative inequality, but at the community level it decreased inequality. The completion of the transcontinental railroad allowed a few individuals in urban communities to earn large incomes in capital-intensive activities, increasing community income inequality, ceteris paribus, but community access to the railroad had a leveling effect on labor income and product prices, reducing community income inequality.

Who Needs An LEI Number?
Question mark
Who needs an LEI number? LEI is needed by legal entities who take part in financial transactions and who wish to trade in financial markets, such as buying stocks, bonds or other securities. There are also many regulations (dependant on jurisdictions) that require to obtain an LEI.
Since the LEI scheme was created, many new regulations across the globe have been introduced. A situation that means many entities in a range of industries now need to apply for an LEI. The details of which you can find below
What is an LEI number?
An LEI or Legal Entity Identifier is a unique 20 digit alphanumeric code. Its purpose is to provide regulated identification for legal entities such as businesses and organisations, especially those in the financial industry.
The aim of this is to make holdings more transparent, and the data on them more connected and easy to access. Thereby minimising any financial risk involved in dealing with such entities across the globe. Read more about what is an LEI.
Financial institutions that always require an LEI number
Currently, legal entities that always require an LEI include financial institutions such as brokerages, banks, investment & insurance companies, and credit unions. LEI Register is dedicated to helping you through the LEI registration process.
However, individuals are not required to have an LEI to trade on the financial market. Therefore if you are not a company or corporation you will not, at this time, need an LEI.
Investment firms and their clients (EU)
Another type of organisation that requires an LEI specifically within the EU are investment firms and their clients. This is because of the MiFID II/MiFiR regulations that became a law in January 2018.
What this means is that EU authorities are required to refuse trades between investment firms and their clients, unless both sides have an LEI number. In fact, this situation is primarily know as – 'no LEI, no trade.' If your organisation falls under these MiFID II/MiFiR requirements, you can apply for an LEI through LEI Register.
Government agencies (USA)
There are other types of legal entities that will need an LEI too, including many US government financial agencies. This is primarily because the Office of Financial Research has made the LEI mandatory.
Such agencies include the Federal Reserve System (FED), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC ), and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).
RTOs and ISOs
Additionally, since 2015 there are US government entities that exist outside of the finance sector that will require LEIs as well. In fact, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) mandates that all RTOs (Regional Transmission Organizations) and ISOs (Independent System Operators) have an LEI.
Those affected by the Financial Transparency Act
Finally, it is also prudent to mention that, while not currently the case, there will be additional entities that may be required to use LEIs in the near future.
The reason for this is the U.S. Regtech Law, the Financial Transparency Act. Something that, if passed, will require all the data gained by such agencies to be unrestricted. The idea being to make transactions between such entities, and the ability to regulate them, much more reliable.
LEIs are the perfect method of identification for such data. Therefore, any entity that is dealing with the regulatory agencies listed here, is likely to require an LEI soon.
LEI Register's goal is to help legal entities register their LEIs simply, securely and cost effectively. It is a simple 2 minute process made convenient by us.

Michigan Jewry During Depression and War
June 20 - September 23, 2012
The Great Depression and World War II had significant impact on every American during that era. American Jews had a unique experience. While many enjoyed success and popularity, they were also aware that anti-Semitism was an ever-present threat. The rise of Nazi Germany and the horrors of the Holocaust were further sources of stress.
Uneasy Years: Michigan Jewry During Depression and War explores the dilemmas and successes of Michigan Jews during the decades of the 1930s and 1940s. The exhibit's photographs explore how Jews, many of whom were recent immigrants or refugees, adjusted to American life, made it through the Great Depression, and participated in the American war effort.
A series of oral history interviews with members of the Kalamazoo Jewish community brings a local dimension to the exhibit. Artifacts reflecting local religious observances will also be on display.
This traveling exhibit was made possible with financial support from the Congregation Shaarey Zedek of East Lansing, Michigan State University Jewish Studies Program, Michigan State University Museum, the Michigan Humanities Council, the Ben Teitle Foundation, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, and private donors.

MONCTON, N.B. -- At Moncton's Magnetic Hill Zoo, there's no shortage of things to see. From omnivores to herbivores, the zoo draws in hundreds of thousands of people every year.
The director of the zoo, Jill Marvin, hopes to create an even bigger draw by adding an African safari-themed expansion.
"We'll have African black-footed penguins in a new exhibit, then they will go off into the large Africa area, we have new habitats going up for our meerkats, for our that's phase one," says Marvin.
Marvin says phase one is estimated at $7.6 million and the goal is to have it completed by 2024.
"Sixty per cent of that is providing suitable habitats for our animals," said Marvin.
The zoo is looking to collaborate with the city, and the federal and provincial governments, on the project.
On Monday, Moncton city council directed staff to gather further information, including an economic impact study, preliminary design, and detailed cost estimates, to be brought back during the upcoming 2022 budget deliberations.
"They understand how this is a value to our region, it's a value to tourism, to our social pillar, and a great opportunity for people to get outdoors," says Marvin.
If approved, it would allow the zoo to expand and renovate current animal exhibits, while adding new exhibits for species like penguins and meerkats.
Over time, the project would include additional indoor habitats for animals that can't be exposed to colder temperatures, which will also extend the number of months that the zoo can be open.
The second phase is estimated to cost $11.2 million and has several elements, including providing the flamingos and otters with new habitats. Marvin says they'd like to see that completed by 2027.
"It will give an opportunity for our visitors to go out into some of our enclosures with our herbivores."
Marvin says the third phase will include a new events building and exhibits to house red river hogs and a giraffe.

German Student Corps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
German Corps Students value their engagements in academic "Mensur" fencing, here an example in a forest near Tübingen by Gustav Adolf Closs, 1890
Emergence of Corps in Europe
Corps (or Korps; "das ~" (n), German pronunciation: [ˈkoːɐ] (sg.), [ˈkoːɐs] (pl.)) are the oldest still-existing kind of Studentenverbindung, Germany's traditional university corporations; their roots date back to the 15th century. The oldest corps still existing today was founded in 1789. Its members are referred to as corps students (Corpsstudenten). The corps belong to the tradition of student fraternities which wear couleur and practice academic fencing.
The corps are organized in two federations, the Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband (KSCV) and the Weinheimer Senioren-Convent (WSC). Together, they comprise 162 Corps throughout Germany, Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Latvia, Hungary, Switzerland and Lithuania.
The German Student Corps were traditionally recruited from the nobility, royalty and social elite, and are traditionally viewed as more aristocratic and elitist than other German student fraternities such as the Catholic Cartellverband and the Burschenschaften. They consider tolerance and individuality to be key tenets and are rooted in German idealism. By and large, they are generally conservative in political outlook, but less right-wing and less nationalist than the Burschenschaften. The corps are open to students of all nationalities and religions, unlike many other student fraternities. Although distinct, the corps are in some aspects similar to and serve many of the same purposes of college fraternities found in the United States.
Corps are built upon the principle of tolerance: No corps may endorse a certain political, scientific or religious viewpoint. In addition, all members are solely chosen by their personal character. Neither national, ethnic or social provenance play a role.
Corpsstudenten (corps students) wear couleur (colored stripes and caps) and practice Mensuren, academic fencing with razor-sharp blades that can result in bleeding face wounds, Schmisse. The corps usually bear names that reflect their former origin from certain German regions, such as Saxonia (Saxony) or Guestphalia (Westphalia). Formerly, when a distance of a few hundred kilometres between a student's home town and his university meant weeks of travel, students from the same part of Germany traveled together and formed some kind of "new family". The distance, plus the fact that they carried the money for a complete semester with them in a bag, might also explain why students began fencing, simply for self-defense, for students, military officers and aristocrats were the only people allowed to carry arms.
Like all Studentenverbindungen, corps consist of two bodies: The active part consists of all members, that still study and have duties for the fraternity, and the so-called Altherrenschaft (alumni organization), comprising all those who graduated and thus provide the bear share of the monetary stimulus for the fraternity. A fundamental idea is that older students should help their younger fellows, and this principle dominates the relationship between the two bodies. The former keeps the everyday business of the corps alive, organizes gatherings, keeps the Corpshaus (Corps House) in order. The Altherrenschaft, graduates with regular incomes, provide financial support. This usually means quite cheap housing for the younger members among other things. The Altherrenschaft has the power to intervene in the business of the active members, typically to ensure the principles and spirit of their corps.
The active body is headed by a panel of three Chargierte (charged persons), who are elected by all active, full members at the beginning of each semester (or at the end of the former one). Their functions are called Senior, Consenior and Drittchargierter (meaning third charged person, also named Subsenior in some corps).:
 - The Senior is responsible for all corps affairs in general, but leading and heading gatherings and events in special; he supplements his signature with a single cross (x) (in some corps with three crosses (xxx)) as an external sign of his duties.
 - The Consenior teaches fencing to all members of the inner corps and assures the execution of the Mensuren in coordination with the Conseniors of other corps; his signature is enhanced by two crosses (xx).
 - The Drittchargierter (also known as Sekretär, Secretary) has administrative tasks like paperwork and often the task of a treasurer; his sign is three crosses (xxx) (in some corps one cross (x)).
Being the oldest of their kind, the corps tend to treat all other forms of German Studentenverbindungen with contempt; corps despise all posturing and affectation (e.g. the overly use of Latinisms) that other kinds of Studentenverbindungen, esp. Catholic corporations and Burschenschaften show. This does not mean that they consider other corporations as natural-born enemies. This might happen occasionally, but also vice versa.
Even with the principle of tolerance being a central aspect in each corps' self-image, every corps student is urged to develop his own viewpoints, to stand for them and to strongly participate in society, whether in politics, economy or social affairs. This encouragement for ethical and self-confident behaviour on one side, and the absence of a limitation to certain views on the other, let Corps students often show up as the leading figures of the most diverse political directions. The emphasis on individuality brought many corps students in opposition to totalitarian regimes, such as the National Socialist dictatorship.
The Weinheimer Student Corps also maintain a confederation with Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, a college Fraternity with over 270 chapters in the United States and Canada.
The Corps sprang from the older Landsmannschaft. The name Corps came into use in 1810 at the University of Heidelberg and soon displaced the older name of Landsmannschaft at all the universities. The oldest still active Corps are the 1789 founded Guestphalia at the University of Halle, the 1798 founded Onoldia at the University of Erlangen who are both members of the KSCV and as a member of the WSC the Saxo-Montania founded also 1798 at the Bergakademie Freiberg today at the RWTH Aachen University. After the Carlsbad Decrees 1819 the Corps were exposed to harsh persecution by university and state officials just like their rivals as at the universities in Germany the Burschenschaften. After 1848, they were officially approved.[1]

Is there a difference between E.Coli and fecal coliforms?
E. coli is a type of fecal coliform bacteria commonly found in the intestines of animals and humans. E. coli is short for Escherichia coli. The presence of E. coli (and fecal coliforms) in water is a strong indication of recent sewage or animal waste contamination. Sewage may contain many types of disease-causing organisms.

Class/Module Index [+]
scanf for Ruby
scanf for Ruby is an implementation of the C function scanf(3), modified as necessary for Ruby compatibility.
scanf for Ruby scans an input string or stream according to a format, as described below ("Conversions"), and returns an array of matches between the format and the input. The format is defined in a string, and is similar (though not identical) to the formats used in Kernel#printf and Kernel#sprintf.
Basic usage
require'scanf.rb'
# String#scanf and IO#scanf take a single argument (a format string)
array = aString.scanf("%d%s")
array = anIO.scanf("%d%s")
# Kernel#scanf reads from STDIN
array = scanf("%d%s")
Block usage
str = "123 abc 456 def 789 ghi"
The following conversions are available. (See the files EXAMPLES and tests/scanftests.rb for examples.)
Matches an optionally signed decimal integer.
Same as d.
Matches an optionally signed octal integer.
Matches an optionally signed hexadecimal integer,
Matches an optionally signed floating-point number.
Assignment suppression
See the files EXAMPLES and tests/scanftests.rb.
scanf for Ruby compared with scanf in C
Unimplemented flags and specifiers
 - The only flag implemented in scanf for Ruby is '*' (ignore upcoming conversion). Many of the flags available in C versions of scanf(4) have to do with the type of upcoming pointer arguments, and are literally meaningless in Ruby.
Altered specifiers
Return values
Return values
Without a block, scanf returns an array containing all the conversions it has found. If none are found, scanf will return an empty array. An unsuccesful match is never ignored, but rather always signals the end of the scanning operation. If the first unsuccessful match takes place after one or more successful matches have already taken place, the returned array will contain the results of those successful matches.
Test suite
scanf for Ruby includes a suite of unit tests (requiring the TestUnit package), which can be run with the command ruby tests/scanftests.rb or the command make test.
Current limitations and bugs
When using IO#scanf under Windows, make sure you open your files in binary mode:"filename", "rb")
so that scanf can keep track of characters correctly.
Technical notes
Rationale behind scanf for Ruby
The impetus for a scanf implementation in Ruby comes chiefly from the fact that existing pattern matching operations, such as Regexp#match and String#scan, return all results as strings, which have to be converted to integers or floats explicitly in cases where what's ultimately wanted are integer or float values.
Design of scanf for Ruby
scanf for Ruby is essentially a -toconverter.
When scanf is called, a FormatString object is generated from the format string ("%d%s…") argument. The FormatString object breaks the format string down into atoms ("%d", "%5f", "blah", etc.), and from each atom it creates a FormatSpecifier object, which it saves.
Each FormatSpecifier has a regular expression fragment and a "handler" associated with it. For example, the regular expression fragment associated with the format "%d" is "([-+]?d+)", and the handler associated with it is a wrapper around String#to_i. scanf itself calls Scanf::FormatString#match, passing in the input string. Scanf::FormatString#match iterates through its FormatSpecifiers; for each one, it matches the corresponding regular expression fragment against the string. If there's a match, it sends the matched string to the handler associated with the FormatSpecifier.
Thus, to follow up the "%d" example: if "123" occurs in the input string when a FormatSpecifier consisting of "%d" is reached, the "123" will be matched against "([-+]?d+)", and the matched string will be rendered into an integer by a call to to_i.
The rendered match is then saved to an accumulator array, and the input string is reduced to the post-match substring. Thus the string is "eaten" from the left as the FormatSpecifiers are applied in sequence. (This is done to a duplicate string; the original string is not altered.)
As soon as a regular expression fragment fails to match the string, or when the FormatString object runs out of FormatSpecifiers, scanning stops and results accumulated so far are returned in an array.

Did You Know This is a Survival Tree?
Did You Know This is a Survival Tree?
It's no surprise that trees are useful in survival situations. They offer us shelter from the rain, fuel for our fires, and some trees produce fruits or nuts that we can eat. However, this tree may come as a surprise.
The willow tree is usually found in damp, swampy climates and can provide you with water when tapped for this reason. The willow tree also contains a compound known as salicin, which is the active ingredient in aspirin, offering natural pain relief.
Thanks to the willow tree's flexible yet strong bark and branches, it can be used to make fishing traps for shellfish and fish alike. The branches can also be used to make bows.
The thinner branches on a willow tree that give it its iconic name can be braided into strong cordage. The willow can also provide you with a quick shelter to help you stay dry in the rain.

Science & Technology
Why did the world's most famous airplane stop service?
After a fatal crash killing 113 people and that had many other flaws, airliners decided to cancel the first ever supersonic plane.
At one point of time, the world's first supersonic plane was the most famous plane in the world. Passengers that could pay the high ticket price (five times that of the cost of other flights) could fly across the Atlantic ocean in 3.5 hours in a groundbreaking and unique aircraft. But on June 25th, 2000 a tragic event occurred in Paris's Charles de Gaulle Airport which would ultimately hasten the end of the Concorde.
The Concorde was developed through a collaboration between British Aircraft Corporation and Aerospatiale of France. They gave Air France and British Airways the Concorde model for much less money. There were twenty Concordes built throughout its development and use, six of which were prototypes never used in service.
When it was in the process of being brought to service, the aircraft's test flights produced sonic booms that really bothered people on the ground so they could only fly it over the ocean.
Its first ever passenger flight was on September 26th, 1973 and it started with British Airways flying to Bahrain. Then Air France flew it from Paris to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
On July 25, 2000 Air France flight 4590 was scheduled to fly to New York from Paris and had 109 people on board including crew. Right upon take off the plane suffered an error which would, in a few minutes change airplane history.
Five minutes before it took off, another aircraft had taken off but lost a small strip of metal which would end up being fatal. When the Concorde was gaining speed, it ran over that piece from the previous plane that flew up and it hit the engine and it caused fuel to leak out and the engines on the left side couldn't function properly. At this point one of the most famous Concorde photos were created which showed the plane on fire. When the plane caught on fire it was too late to abort takeoff as it already reached the maximum speed allowed. The plane took off but was trying to divert to another airport immediately so it could land and prevent harming passengers but it was unable to.
After two minutes in the air, the plane couldn't stay up any longer and crashed into the Hôtelissimo Les Relais Bleus Hotel, killing 109 passengers and four employees of the hotel.
Air France and British Airways couldn't make money back anymore and a big factor of that was the crash. Tickets to fly on the Concorde were expensive and the ticket money could weight out the maintenance costs, but since passenger levels were going down it was extremely difficult to pay it off. Maintenance prices were also rising too so it made it even more difficult to keep the Concorde in service.
The two companies couldn't manage to keep the Concorde available anymore, so, in 2003 (three years after the crash in 2000), they announced the Concorde would stop service and the last flight ever would occur during June 2003.

from the abstract:
Natural mentors have been shown to help improve psychological and educational outcomes of youth, and may serve an important role for youth experiencing risk in the home.
Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), we investigated the associations between natural mentors during youth and income during early adulthood, including how these relations were moderated by the absence of a father figure and race. We also estimated the lifetime economic benefits to having a natural mentor.
- The presence of a natural mentor alone did not have a significant impact on annual earnings during adulthood.
- However, youth without a father but who had a male mentor earned significantly more, on average, than those without a male mentor.
- These effects were more pronounced in a subsample of African American youth.
- The net present value of total lifetime benefits to having a male natural mentor was approximately $190,000 for all fatherless youth and $458,000 for African American fatherless youth.
These results suggest that natural mentors play a crucial role in economic outcomes for youth, which may vary by sociodemographic factors.

Announcements for fnumprint
fnumprint – Print a number in 'appropriate' format
The package defines two macros which decide to typeset a number either as an Arabic number or as a word (or words) for the number. If the number is between zero and twelve (including zero and twelve) then words will be used; if the number is outside that range, it will be typeset using the package numprint
Words for English representation of numbers are generated within the package, while those for German are generated using the package zahl2string.


Argument Picker is a simple API to access and elaborate arguments in a flexible way.
Basically it allows, given URL arguments like:
to retrieve one of those arguments through a function:
which - in the specific example - would return "Volkswagen".
This module essentially adds the possibility to assign labels to arguments, through this syntax:
and then allows you to retrieve any argument using the label as a reference.
Some of the helper functions are dedicated to specific modules (i.e. Views), enhancing the accessibility of arguments:
Assuming "your_view" has a "foo" argument, using argument_picker, you could easily setup this argument's default value with:
return arg_picker_get_view_argument("foo");
which would return "4" (for the example above) or "all" (when the argument is not present).
Basically it's just an alternative to an url querystring with Drupal-specific add-on features, which comes extremely useful when implementing progressive filters (like a faceted search) through views but it also comes very handy for retrieving arguments in dynamic PHP blocks, panel panes, custom modules or wherever you want.
Not to mention that a normal querystring is still usable:
leaving every other querystring-related features intact.
Project Information


text: © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.Purpose: This study aims to investigate the evolution of factors that influence the current and future use of video streaming applications by Millennial consumers. Design/methodology/approach: Combining technology acceptance, perceived values and user identity theory this study used factor analysis and multiple regression to examine data from a survey of 292 university undergraduates. Findings: Millennial's current and future use of video streaming services remains driven more by social and emotional values and their effect on identity salience with their choice of content. Ease of use, convenience and monetary value remains less of an influence currently but may become more important in the future with the continued maturity of the industry. Practical implications: The results of this study suggest that video streaming service providers should be developing business models that recognize the increasing importance of emotional appeal and self-identity of their service offerings as the industry matures and competition increases. Originality/value: The research is novel in addressing future video streaming service provision by examining changes in young consumer behaviour over time within a similar sample population and considering the growth and technological advancement of video streaming services. The results are significant in addressing the gap that exists in understanding whether perceived values for technology adoption of the same product or service by millennials change over time and the implications that have for product and service providers.


Diabetic patients: Technology's useful to communicate with docs, as long as it's free
SAN FRANCISCO Patients with diabetes may seek information from their physicians outside of scheduled office visits but are not willing to pay for such services, according to a new study presented at the American Osteopathic Association's 115th Osteopathic Medical Conference and Exposition.
Among 300 patients with diabetes, the study authors noted, 42% communicated with their physicians by telephone outside of scheduled office visits and 13% used e-mail. However, 62% of patients said they would not pay to communicate with their physicians outside of scheduled office visits.
"Patients want some way to communicate with their physicians, such as by phone or pager, to ask questions about managing their diabetes or to share information about their condition, such as their blood sugar levels," said study co-author Jay Shubrook, an AOA board-certified osteopathic family physician from Athens, Ohio. "They like the access, but they don't want to pay for it."
The study also found older respondents, who averaged between ages 51 years and 60 years, did not use Twitter or Facebook to communicate with their physician. What's more, only 69% of respondents had Internet access at home. This could be because older adults do not find paying for the Internet a priority compared with their other expenses, including those related to other medical conditions, Shubrook said.

AbstractOBJECTIVE: To examine the association between self-reported physician-diagnosed arthritis and health-related quality of life among older Mexican Americans. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study involving population-based survey. SETTING: Hispanic Established Population for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly (EPESE) survey conducted in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and California. PARTICIPANTS: 839 non-institutionalized Mexican American older adults (> or = 75 years) participating in Hispanic EPESE. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Self-reported physician-diagnosed arthritis; sociodemographic variables; medical conditions; body mass index; and the physical and mental composite scales from the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36). RESULTS: 518 (62%) of the subjects reported physician-diagnosed arthritis. Participants with arthritis had significantly lower scores on the physical composite scale (PCS) (mean = 35.3, SD = 11.3) and the mental composite scale (MCS) (mean = 53.5, SD = 10.8) of the SF-36 compared to persons without arthritis (PCS mean = 42.9, SD = 10.9; MCS mean = 57.0, SD = 8.8). Multiple regression showed that arthritis was associated with decreased PCS and MCS (model estimates of -5.74 [SE =.83]; and -3.16 [SE =.64]), respectively, after controlling for sociodemographic and clinical covariates. CONCLUSIONS: Arthritis is a highly prevalent medical condition in Mexican American older adults. Our findings suggest that deficits in both physical health and mental function contribute to reduced quality-of-life in this population.
