Weight class (boxing)
In boxing, a weight class is a standardized weight range for boxers. The lower limit of a weight class is equal to the upper weight limit of the class below it. The top class, with no upper limit, is called heavyweight in professional boxing and super heavyweight in amateur boxing. A boxing match is usually scheduled for a fixed weight class, and each boxer's weight must not exceed the upper limit. An amateur boxer's weight must in addition not fall below the lower limit, although pro boxers may fight above their weight class. A nonstandard weight limit is called a catch weight.
The weigh-in
A professional boxer typically weighs more between fights than at the time of a fight. Part of the process of training for a bout is "getting down to fighting weight". The weigh-in takes place the day before the fight. Boxers typically stand on the scales barefoot and without gloves. The weigh-in is often a photo opportunity and boxers or their entourage may trash talk each other. This element is such a valued part of the build-up that heavyweight boxers go through the ritual of being weighed even though there is no limit to be measured against, even where there appears to be genuine animosity between boxers.
A boxer who is over the weight limit may strip naked to make the weight if the excess is minimal; otherwise, in a professional bout, one can try again later, typically after losing weight in the interim through dehydration by vigorous exercise in a steam room. If the excess weight is too great, the effort expended trying to "make weight" will make the boxer unfit for the fight itself. In such cases, the fight may be cancelled, with the over weight boxer sanctioned; or the fight may proceed as a catch weight non-title fight.
An amateur boxer must make the weight at the initial weigh-in; there is no opportunity to try again later. There is a "general weigh-in" before the start of the tournament and a "daily weigh-in" on the morning of each of a fighter's bouts. At the general weigh-in, the fighter must be between the weight class's upper and lower limits; at the daily weigh-in only the upper limit is enforced. A fighter outside the limit at the initial weigh-in may be allowed to fight in a different class if there is space in the tournament. At major events such as boxing at the Olympics, there is a limit of one boxer per country per weight class.
A boxer may fight different bouts at different weight classes. The trend for professionals is to move up to a higher class as they age. Winning titles at multiple weight classes to become a "multiple champion" is considered a major achievement. In amateur boxing, bouts are much shorter and much more frequent, and boxers fight at their "natural" weight.
One boxer is said to be better "pound for pound" than another if he is considered superior with due regard for their difference in weight. Theoretical comparisons of the merits of boxers in different weight classes are a popular topic for boxing fans, with a similar speculative appeal to comparing sports figures from different eras; in both cases, the competitors could never face each other in reality.
In the early nineteenth century, there were no standard weight classes. In 1823, the Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue said the limit for a "light weight" was 12 stone (168 lb) while Sportsman's Slang the same year gave 11 stone (154 lb) as the limit. Size mismatches were dangerous for the smaller boxer and unsatisfying for the spectators. National and world titles could only become recognised if standard weight classes were agreed upon. Important sets of weight classes were those specified in 1909 by the National Sporting Club of London, and those contained in the 1920 Walker Law which established the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC).
After the split in the 1960s between the WBC and the WBA, the divisions were narrowed, creating more champions simultaneously, and making it easier for fighters to move between different weight divisions. Among the professional bodies, the names of the new divisions are not standardized between different sanctioning bodies, although the cutoff weights are. These weights are specified in pounds, reflecting the historic dominance of America (and, earlier, Britain) in the sport.
Catch weight
A nonstandard weight limit is called a catch weight. A catch weight may be agreed for an individual bout—sometimes even for a championship bout—but championships are awarded only at the standard weight classes. For example, when Manny Pacquiao fought Miguel Cotto at a catch-weight of 145 pounds, the World Boxing Organization sanctioned this as a title fight for welterweight, whose limit is 147 pounds.
Professional boxing
The date is that since which a continuous world title has been recognised by a major sanctioning body; some classes had earlier champions recognised intermittently or by minor bodies. One current weight class with only minor recognition is "super-cruiserweight"; widely used as an informal descriptor, it is a formal weight class of the lightly regarded (professional) International Boxing Association at a limit of 210 lb; the IBA's cruiserweight limit is 190 lb.

Amateur boxing
When the (amateur) International Boxing Association (AIBA) was founded in 1946 to govern amateur boxing, it metricated the weight class limits by rounding them to the nearest kilogram. Subsequent alterations as outlined in the boxing at the Summer Olympics article; these have introduced further discrepancies between amateur and professional class limits and names. The lower weight classes are to be adjusted in September 2010, to establish an absolute minimum weight for adult boxers.
Amateur weight classes also specify the minimum weight (which the same as the maximum weight of the next highest class). For safety reasons, fighters cannot fight at a higher weight. This also meant that even the heaviest weight class has a limit, albeit a lower bound. The lower limit for "heavyweight" was established in 1948 at 81 kg. When a new limit of 91+ kg was established in 1984, the name "heavyweight" was kept by the 81+ kg class, and the 91+ kg class was named "super heavyweight", a name not currently used in professional boxing.
Classes are as follows:
|Class name||Weight class limit (kg)|
At the Olympics, each weight-class is a separate single-elimination tournament. The competition begins with the first round of the lightest weight class and proceeds with the first round of each higher weight class; then the next round of the lightest class, and so on, with the finals of each class held over the final two days, and the super-heavyweight final last of all.

Random Color Scheme
Making a coherent Material Design theme is hard. This is a Flutter plugin that generates a random color pallet based on Material Design while respecting WCAG guidelines.
The idea is for you to (temporarily) replace your ColorScheme() with a randomColorSchemeLight() or randomColorSchemeDark(). On each run, hot refresh or hot restart, the app is going to look different. The theme is printed in terminal, so you can easily copy and paste back into your project with the colors that you want to stay.
The interactive sample allows you to see how it works and the reasoning behind:
pub package
 random_color_scheme: ^VERSION
In your project, just replace the ColorScheme.dark(...) with RandomColorSchemeDark().
If you want a light theme, there is a RandomColorSchemeLight().
import 'package:random_colorscheme/random_color_scheme.dart';
 data: ThemeData(
 colorScheme: randomColorSchemeDark(),
 child: MyApp(),
How it works
This started in my Color Studio project.
I started looking at the Material Design Guidelines on color for both light and dark theme.
After extracting some colors (like the Primary, Secondary and Owl Study), I decided to see how similar were they, in what range are they and how they behave together.
Then, I used HSLuv with a random number generator and rules detected from my observation. The final adjustments were made when tweaking the sample.
HSLuv is great because only the Lightness attribute affects WCAG calculated contrast, so all themes are guaranteed to pass
a minimum accessibility threshold.
Function listing
 - randomColorSchemeDark(seed: null | int)
 - randomColorSchemeLight(seed: null | int)
 - randomColorScheme(seed: null | int, isDark: bool)
Seed: an integer which guarantees the random function is always going to have the same output (i.e., the same ColorScheme).
It is optional.

6 of the most colourful buildings in the world
Bright colours are not always popular with architects.
From modern glass skyscrapers, to solid stone medieval fortresses, to the brown-grey tower blocks of the 1960s and 1970s, vivid colour schemes have frequently been considered too visually arresting for the constructions that make up our day to day.
But when primary colours do get to shine, they tend to really stand out. These are among the world's brightest buildings, from museums and mosques to an island off the Neapolitan coast…
1. Pena Palace, Portugal
Painted with blocks of bright, vivid colour, rather than patterns or lines, Pena Palace opts for visual impact over complexity, shining like a beacon above the Portuguese city of Sintra. With bright yellow sides, blue battlements and foundations, brick-red ramparts and towers, and rich purple gatehouse, the palace is a bizarre blend of architectural styles ranging from Moorish to Gothic.
Easily seen from Lisbon on a clear day, the palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and has been used by the Portuguese president for state occasions.
2. Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, Iran
A small-ish facade with faded paintwork is perfectly pretty, but it's the inside of the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque that wins it most of its plaudits. Rays of stained glass windows line the main prayer hall, splashing rainbows of light across floor and walls, that form different colours and patterns as the day goes on. The building is nicknamed 'The Pink Mosque', but we think a more kaleidoscopic epithet would be equally appropriate.
3. Biomuseo, Panama
Legendary American architect Frank Gehry could monopolise this list all on his own, but we're limiting him to his Panamanian project the Biomuseo, the first and only Latin American design from the mind behind the Guggenheim in Bilbao.
A museum of natural history on the shores of Panama City, the design is signature Gehry: vibrantly-coloured interlocking canopies topping an angular interior, that twists and turns through eight distinct galleries.
4. Procida Island, Italy
None of the buildings on the Procida Island waterfront would be particularly special on their own, but together they make up a pastel patchwork that would put Elmer the Elephant to shame. It's not the only Italian town to span the spectrum (Cinque Terra and Positano spring to mind), but it is surely among the most photogenic, as the buildings tumble down the cliffs to the shoreline, rimmed by the blue of the sea and the blue of the sky.
5. St Basil's Cathedral, Moscow
Legend has it that aptly-named Russian tsar Ivan the Terrible had the architects of St Basil's Cathedral blinded, so that they might never build something so beautiful for anybody else. We sincerely hope the story is apocryphal, but there's no denying the spell-binding beauty of St Basil's, the onion-domed centrepiece of Moscow's Red Square.
Colourful constructions were all the rage in Russia during the early-modern period, and St Basil's dazzles with sheets of red, white and gold tin, and well-preserved green and blue ceramic.
6. Casa Batllo, Spain
Antoni Gaudi is almost synonymous with Barcelona, and although his best-known creation remains the magnificent, technically-still-not-completed Sagrada Familia, the Casa Batllo is probably his most visually vibrant.
With a reflective, purply-blue roof that sparkles in the Catalonian sun, and walls spattered with what looks suspiciously like glitter, you have to squint to look at downtown house-turned-museum even in a relatively dull day.

I guess the first question to clear up is 'what is a headshot?' For most people there is a tangible difference between a headshot and a portrait, therefore it is important to clarify this at the beginning. The content below is drawn from Wikipedia because I couldn't have put it much better:
A head shot or headshot is a specific type of portrait (usually a photograph) that realistically demonstrates a person's appearance for branding or casting. Many head shots are promotional pictures of actors, models, authors. Headshots could be a portrait of a face or full body with a background that clearly illustrate the personality inside the person photographed.
Modeling head shots or comp cards, sometimes also called tear sheets, are a compilation of images for casting in one sheet with a résumé of work, name and relevant statistics. They are often done in color; however in some jurisdictions, such as the UK, they may be in black-and-white. Models often use them for castings and modeling work applications. A close-up head shot is often required to show a model's skin complexion for beauty work.
Corporate head shots are portraits often produced digitally and used for engaging in social media, the 'about us' page and industry specialty sites. A headshot or head shot is often used for branding and to showcase the business leader's life, style and personality while corporations will use the headshot to merge branding between the people working for them and its agency. Traditional head shots are still taken in a studio setting, though shots "on-location" or "in-the-field" continue to increase in popularity. In both cases, backgrounds tend to be simple. Subjects are often shown head-to-chest or head-to-torso.
Source – Wikipedia
So, in essence a headshot is a subset of portraiture, usually simpler in form, often with a plain background. We shoot both portraits and headshots, occasionally the line between becomes blurred.

First 0 Euro Banknote of Ireland
19 Jun 2021 Sat
The concept of "Euro Souvenir" was introduced to attract tourists and visitors. These notes depict important destinations, historical buildings, or anything else that represents that particular country.
A French businessman named Richard Faille introduced this concept in France in 2015. The idea was expanded and has now reached Germany, Austria, France, Belgium, Italy Switzerland, Spain, and Portugal through various businesses.
A company from Galway named Euro Note Souvenir released Ireland's first '0 Euro' banknote in August which was introduced as an Irish souvenir or Irish gift. The Euro Souvenir depicts an image of a Celtic harp and a map of Ireland with its states.

The ancient rustic town of Mangalore is the chief port of the state of Karnataka that was a renowned port in the south of India as early as the 6th century. Even in the present times this is a bustling commercial centre and the headquarters of the Dakshina Kannada.
The name Mangalore is derived from a famous deity here of the Mangaladevi Temple. Ancient folklore says that a princess Parimala from Kerala who married Matsyendranath, the founder of Nath tradition was brought to Mangalore and was later renamed Mangaladevi and converted to the Nath sect. Following her death, a temple was built here in her honour called the Mangaladevi Temple. Mangalore is the anglicized version of 'Mangalooru' made up of two words 'Mangala' and 'ooru' meaning Mangala's abode.

Generating Even and Odd PostgreSQL Databases for Replication
I was recently faced with a problem of replicating two PostgreSQL databases with bucardo. The replication was to be in a master-master fashion so that the databases could be updated on both ends. Although this task can easily be handled by bucardo it requires that the two different systems generate completely different sets of primary keys. According to the Bucardo website (_URL_ there are three ways of achieving this difference. Their approaches were:
If you are using a swap sync, the best practice is to not replicate sequences, but to make sure that they are different on both sides, such that an insert on database A will never conflict with an insert on database B. There are three general ways to do this:
 1. Use interleaving sequences. On database A, define the sequence as START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 2. On database B, define the sequence as START WITH 2 INCREMENT BY 2. Thus, the two sequences will never have the same value.
 2. Use different ranges. For example, database A would use a sequence of START WITH 1, while database B uses START WITH 100000000. This is not foolproof, as A can eventually catch up with B, although you can define A as MAXVALUE 99999999.
 3. Use a common sequence. This relies on one or both of the databases using a function that makes a call to an external sequence
After reading this I decided to go by the first approach so I wrote a script to alter the sequences.
// Add the sequences you dont want affected here. The schema doesn't
// really matter.
$exclude = array(
for ($i = 1; $i < $argc; $i++)
 if(substr($argv[$i], 0, 2) == "--")
 $parameter = substr($argv[$i], 2, strlen($argv[$i]) - 2);
 $$parameter = $argv[$i];
 $tables[] = $argv[$i];
$conn = pg_connect("host=$host port=5432 dbname=$db user=$user
$sequences_result = pg_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM
$sequences = array();
while($sequence = pg_fetch_assoc($sequences_result))
 if(array_search($sequence['sequence_name'], $exclude)!== false)
 echo "Skipping ". $sequence['sequence_schema']. '.'.$sequence['sequence_name']. "\n";
 $sequence = $sequence['sequence_schema']. '.'. $sequence['sequence_name'];
 $value = pg_query($conn, "SELECT last_value from $sequence");
 $value = pg_fetch_assoc($value);
 pg_query($conn, "ALTER SEQUENCE $sequence INCREMENT BY 2");
 if($value["last_value"] % 2 == 0 && $mode == 'odd')
 pg_query($conn, "ALTER SEQUENCE $sequence RESTART WITH ".($value['last_value'] + 1));
 elseif(($value["last_value"] % 2 == 1 || $value["last_value"] == 1) && $mode == 'even')
This script takes five required parameters. The parameters are not validated so if it is wrongly specified the consequences are unknown. PLEASE BE CAREFUL! The parameters are:
 1. The hostname
 2. The username
 3. The password
 4. The database name
 5. The mode of the change (even or odd)
An example usage could be
php update_sequences.php --host db1.accra.srv --user postgres --password somepass --db appcore --mode even
Hope that helps. Happy Programming!

Lane Targeting Light
The Torch is a simple light targeting tool used to help with accuracy and alignment. Using LED lights, it reflects a path of light on the lane to help you select the correct launch angle and hit your target time after time. As the player moves left and right, the light will change its position showing you exactly where you should throw the ball.
The Torch was designed to explain the aiming process in a way that can be easily understood by everyone. From children, to beginning bowlers, to special needs bowlers, the Torch is an easy and fun way to quickly improve this important fundamental skill.
- Helps define a bowlers starting point
- Helps bowlers to see the laydown point
- Helps keep the swing path in-line with the target path
- Helps keep the head stable throughout the approach
- Shows how the target changes if a bowler drifts left or right


{Z} \oplus \mathbb{Z}$ in position $(0,m-1)$ as $\alpha,\beta$ and the $\mathbb{Z}$ in $(m-1,0)$ as $\gamma$ shouldn't we get that the $\mathbb{Z}\oplus\mathbb{Z}$ in $(m-1,m-1)$ is generated by $(\alpha \otimes \gamma,\beta \otimes \gamma)$?
This paper looks useful. I note the comment there that $H^{2(m-1)}(\text{Conf}(\mathbb{R}^3,3);\mathbb{Z})$ is a free $\mathbb{Z}$ module spanned by $A_{21}A_{31}$ and $A_{31}A_{32}$.
One final place that might help is this monograph by Cohen,Lada and May. See specifically page 250.
Hopefully this is of some help!

Lookups can be done against individual items via '.lookup_ioc' or against multiple items with '.lookup_iocs' and you can configure things such as which Threat Intelligence sources are used.
ti = TILookup() ti.lookup_iocs(signin_df, obs_col="IPAddress", providers=["GreyNoise"])

MSTICPy also has integration with a range of Azure APIs that can be used to retrieve additional information or perform actions such as get Microsoft Sentinel incidents.
from msticpy.data.azure_sentinel import AzureSentinel azs = AzureSentinel() azs.connect() azs.get_incident(incident_id = "7c768f11-31f1-46ca-8a5c-25df2e6b7021", sub_id = "8df49d90-99eb-4c31-985d-64b3f33caa93", res_grp= "sent", ws_name="workspace")

The ability to create complex, interactive visualizations is one of the key benefits of Notebooks, allowing analysts to see data in a unique way and use it to identify patterns of anomalies that may not otherwise be possible to identify.
Creating these visualizations from scratch can be quite a complex task and involve a lot of code if starting from nothing. To make the process easier MSTICPy contains several common visualizations work out the box with common data sources from Microsoft Sentinel, and that can quickly and easily be called with minimal code.
Understanding when events occurred and in what order is a key component of many security investigations. MSTICPy can plot diverse types of timelines with several types of data.
user_df = qry_prov.Azure.list_aad_signins_for_account(account_name="_EMAIL_") timeline.display_timeline(user_df, source_columns=["UserPrincipalName", "ResultType"]
We can also plot time lines showing events with a duration rather than a single time stamp with ' display_timeline_duration':
timeline_duration.display_timeline_duration(alert_df, group_by="AlertName", time_column="StartTimeUtc", end_time_column="EndTimeUtc")
alert_df.mp_plot.timeline(group_by="Severity", source_columns=["AlertName", "TimeGenerated"])
The Matrix Plot graph in MSTICPy allows you to plot the interactions between two elements in your data. This can be useful for seeing the relationships between points in a dataset, for example if you wanted to see how often certain IP addresses are communicating with each other in a network you can create a matrix plot with a source IP address on one axis, and a destination IP address on the other axis.
As with the timeline plots, the matrix plot can be created directly from a DataFrame using 'mp_plot':
network_data.mp_plot.matrix(x="SourceIP", y="DestinationIP", title="IP Interaction")
We have seen a couple of widgets already in the query and threat intelligence result browsers. These widgets make Notebooks much more accessible by providing a visual way to interact and customize them without having to write any code. MSTICPy includes a number visual, interactive widgets to allow users to select various parameters to customize the Notebook.
network_vendor_data_q = "CommonSecurityLog | summarize by DeviceVendor" network_vendor_data = qry_prov.exec_query(network_vendor_data_q) network_selector = nbwidgets.SelectItem( item_list=network_vendor_data["DeviceVendor"].to_list(), description='Select a vendor', action=print, auto_display=True );
q_times = nbwidgets.QueryTime(units='day', max_before=20, before=5, max_after=1) q_times.display()
security_alerts = qry_prov.SecurityAlert.list_alerts(add_query_items="| take 10") alert_select = nbwidgets.SelectAlert(alerts=security_alerts, action=nbdisplay.display_alert) display(Markdown('### Alert selector with action=DisplayAlert')) display(HTML(" Alert selector with action=DisplayAlert ")) alert_select.display()
What you have seen here is just a tiny taster of what Microsoft Sentinel Notebooks can do. However, luckily, we have a lot of additional resources to help you learn what you need and get started with Notebooks.

Quick Answer: What Do You Understand By Muta Marriage?
Is Mutah allowed?
No, Mutah is not allowed anymore.
It was allowed at that time when soldiers use to be on borders in war away from their families.
In order to prevent rapes and such things Mutah was introduced (Contract marriage) In which marriage everything is same but the time period was short..
Can a married woman do Mutah?
Mutah is just like normal marriage, and since the Muslim religion allows the marriage to a Christian woman, then Mutah to a Christian woman is accepted as well.
What is a Milka marriage?
The marriage is opening doors for an intimate relationship between husband and wife. There are only two things that are prohibited: The anal way. The prophet said: "Do not have anal sex with your women." (Ibn Majah, an-Nasai, Ahmad) However it is allowed to have intimacy through for example kissing a.
Is Mutah Marriage Haram?
The mut'ah is practised by Shia Muslims while Sunni Muslims generally consider it haram – forbidden. The mut'ah is particularly popular on university campuses and, according to Omar Farooq Khan, president of the Ahlul Bayt Islamic Society at Bradford University, the practice is on the increase among Shia students.
What is the meaning of Mutah?
Mut'ah, literally meaning joy, is a condition where rules of Islam are relaxed. It can apply to marriage (the nikah mut'ah) or to the Hajj (the obligatory pilgrimage) (the Mut'ah of Hajj). … Shias and Sunnis do agree that, initially, or near the beginning of Islam, Nikah mut'ah was a legal contract.
What is Muta marriage and what are its conditions?
A muta marriage is dissolved ipso facto by the expiry of the term. No right of divorce is recognized in muta, but the husband may, at his will, put an end to the contract by 'making a gift of the term' to the wife, even before the terms ends. … Dower is a necessary condition of muta.
Who can Mutah?
Men and women are not on a par in every aspect of mut'a. A man can simultaneously enter into multiple temporary marriages, but a woman can have only one temporary husband at a time. A married man can have a mut'a marriage, but not a married woman. The rule of sexual abstinence too does not apply to men.
Can a Syed girl marry non Syed?
I was born into a Syed family. Since childhood, I've been told that this is a blessing as we are the direct descendants of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Therefore, all Syed girls had a status equivalent to that of mothers of Ummah. Thus, it was forbidden for us to even consider marrying a non-Syed man.
Is Mutah mentioned in the Quran?
Narration. A hadith in Sahih Bukhari states: Narrated 'Imran: The Verse of Mut'ah was revealed in Allah's Book, so we performed it with Allah's Apostle, and nothing was revealed in Qur'an to make it illegal, nor did the Prophet prohibit it till he died.
What is the difference between nikah and marriage?
In Islamic law, marriage – or more specifically, the marriage contract – is called nikah, an Arabic word which already in the Quran is used exclusively to refer to the contract of marriage.
Is Dower essential for nikah?
Mahr is a consideration for marriage only if marriage under Islamic law is purely a civil contract. However, if nikah purely is not a civil contract than dower cannot regarded as consideration for marriage. … However, that is not correct dower (mahr) is not an essential condition of marriage.
What is the period of Iddat?
For a woman whose husband has died, the 'iddah is four lunar months and ten days after the death of her husband, whether or not the marriage was consummated. If a woman is pregnant when she is widowed or divorced, the 'iddah lasts until she gives birth.

If the sqlite3_vtab_nochange(X) routine is called within the xColumn method of a virtual table, then it might return true if the column is being fetched as part of an UPDATE operation during which the column value will not change. The virtual table implementation can use this hint as permission to substitute a return value that is less expensive to compute and that the corresponding xUpdate method understands as a "no-change" value.
If the xColumn method calls sqlite3_vtab_nochange() and finds that the column is not changed by the UPDATE statement, then the xColumn method can optionally return without setting a result, without calling any of the sqlite3_result_xxxxx() interfaces. In that case, sqlite3_value_nochange(X) will return true for the same column in the xUpdate method.
The sqlite3_vtab_nochange() routine is an optimization.

7 Different Crushed Stone Sizes and Their Applications
Jul 27, 2020 Crushed Stone Grade 1-10. Generally, as the grade number goes up, the size of the stone goes down. #1 The # 1 crushed stone grade is the largest of the crushed stone grades and includes stone between 2-4 inches long. This material is great for larger jobs or for filling in larger holes. #3 This size of the stone ranges from 1/2 to 2 inches long.
The Complete Guide to Crushed Stone and Gravel
Nov 12, 2019 It is important to note that some contractors refer to any stone in certain size ranges as "gravel," even if it is crushed stone. For example, depending on the region of the United States, crushed stone in the size of a few mm to 2 inches is referred to as "gravel," even if it
Crushed Stone Calculator: Easy to Use Online Tool

Crushed stone Wikipedia
Crushed stone or angular rock is a form of construction aggregate, typically produced by mining a suitable rock deposit and breaking the removed rock down to the desired size using crushers. It is distinct from gravel which is produced by natural processes of weathering and erosion, and typically has

Design Research, Storytelling, and Entrepreneur Women in Rural Costa Rica: a case study
Maria Gabriela Hernandez
University of Houston
Keywords: visual storytelling; rural ecotourism; design research; empathic design
This paper describes a project exploring design research practices and empathic design to produce context-specific knowledge to inform and facilitate visual storytelling, in collaboration with the Women's Association of Chira Island, a rural ecotourism association from the Pacific of Costa Rica. While their pioneering ecotourism projects have gained national recognition, its members have faced multiple challenges, including reassessing gender and social roles and furthering their capacity to support development in the community. Their experiences and stories became their most valuable asset, triggering the need to communicate them to benefit similar populations. The contents of this project were developed during three field research visits and two years of collaborative design work, employing " time," "space," and "voice" to contextualize the stories. This investigation resulted in printed materials and videos designed for mobility and easy reproduction to be used by the association as tools to inspire women in similar rural areas.

failed the game
No doubt they would have risked too much on any given trial. They could have had a string of seven or more losing trades that would have made it impossible for them to recover their initial starting balance? Or It could have been that some participants had only one, two, or three HUGE LOSSES that reduced their account down to extremely low levels.
Also, some participants probably tried to increase their stake size after one, two or three losses hoping that they could recover the loss. (Martingale strategy). Problems with martingale strategies develop when the streak of consecutive losses causes the risk / reward ratio to blow out of proportion. What happens when there is a streak of fifteen losses in a row? (Is it logical to risk losing $700 by trying to save $100?)
On the other hand if the participants had used Anti-martingale strategies, which means increasing the amounts they risked on each trial after winning streaks they would have done better.
The lesson's from the experiment with the 40 Ph.D.s is loud and clear.
1.Do not risk too much money on any one position due to unknown timing and length of losing streaks.
2.There is a correct (Optimum) amount of money to risk on each trial. (position size). This amount can be calculated dependent on the rules of the game /system.
In case you are wondering what was the correct answer to the position size in the above experiment. The optimum amount to achieve the maximum gain was for the participants to risk 20 percent of their new equity each time. The balance of their accounts would have grown to about $7,500.
For trading purposes risking 20% of your closing balance would be regarded as a very high risk strategy. Very poor money management. Lets look at the effect on our account should we start with a string of consecutive losses.
Our starting account balance $1,000
less 20% loss number1 -$200 $800
less 20% loss number2 -$160 $640
less 20% loss number3 -$128 $512
less 20% loss number4 -$102 $409
less 20% loss number5 -$82 $327
less 20% loss number6 -$65 $262
less 20% loss number7 -$52 $209
After a bad string of 7 losses our account is now down to $209. We now need to make 378.5% to recover. See how risking 20% of our account balance is way to much.
Risk between 1% to 3%
Jack Schwager's book Market Wizards (1989) day and trend follower Larry Hite says about money management;
"Never risk more than 1% of the total equity on any trade. By only risking 1%, I am indifferent to any individual trade."
The general consensus on money management is that a trader should limit his risk up to about 3% maximum on any one position.
Does this seem reasonable?
Let check it out with the above previous seven in a row loss.
Our starting account balance $10,000
less 3% loss number1 -$300 $9,700
less 3% loss number2 -$291 $9,409
less 3% loss number3 -$282 $9,127
less 3% loss number4 -$274 $8,853
less 3% loss number5 -$266 $8,587
less 3% loss number6 -$258 $8,329
less 3% loss number7 -$250 $8,079
After our bad string of 7 losses our account is now down to $8,079. We now need to make 23.8% to recover.
Using our maximum money management 3% risk rule shows a recovery from a shocking 7-in-a-row loss situation is very feasible. Only 23.8% to recover compared to our earlier example of 378.5% if we risked 20% of our balance per trade. See how good money management can protect us!
As you noticed, we had to increase our account size from $1,000 to $10,000 to make our stop loss sizes reasonable. This shows that the smaller your account the more difficult it will be to apply proper money management rules.

& the Safe Harbor Provision Guidelines
The HIPAA safe harbor method is a method of de-identification of protected health information. De-identification is the removal of specific information about a client that can be used alone or in combination with other information to identify that client.
What is HIPAA Safe Harbor De-Identification?
Home for Life Design follows the Safe Harbor Provision Guidelines
HIPAA safe harbor de-identification is the process of the removal of specified identifiers of the patient, and of the patient's relatives, household members, and employers.
The requirements of the HIPAA safe harbor de-identification process become fully satisfied if, and only if, after the removal of the specific identifiers, the covered entity has no actual knowledge that the remaining information could be used to identify the patient.
Once protected health information has been de-identified, it is no longer considered to be PHI; as such, there are no longer restrictions on its use or disclosure. By definition, de-identified health information neither identifies nor provides a reasonable basis to identify a patient.

Farm diversification into tourism - Implications for social identity?
MetadataVis full innførsel
OriginalversjonJournal of Rural Studies 2011, 27(1):35-44 10.1016/j.jrurstud.2010.09.002
This article deals with how diversification and transformation of farming into tourism may influence the social identity of farmers. Based on a study of 19 farms run by couples engaged with agritourism, it shows how the development of tourism on the farms can be understood in a perspective of repeasantization; and how the couples draw on their farm work, culture and place to situate themselves in a new working role. Through food, stories, activities and themselves as hosts they mediate a strong farm identity. The article also explores how identities change through identifying three processes by which the 'new' work of tourism may destabilize identities. One is a shift in the meaning of farmer identity. Another is the gradual change towards a new master identity, and thirdly it finds a multiplicity of identities practiced as serial identities that shift as they relate to various social memberships and settings.

Pivoting is a way to change direction from one stance to another without taking a step by rotating body's center of mass around its axis. For example, one can pivot from a left lead horse stance to a right lead horse stance by pivoting the upper body. The stance may change during a pivot, such as from a left lead horse to a right lead back stance.
The pivot serves several purposes:
- Assists directional change
- Provides angular acceleration to drive strikes and throws by rotating body mass into the technique
- Assists stance/position change in that may gain distance when needed in defending or close the distance when attacking without having to take steps
- Rotates body in a way that protects vulnerable targets and draws attacker into counters
- Deflects impacts away from vulnerable internal organs as they bounce off the rotating body mass

I want to edit Ruby files using Python scripts and I need to
 1. Check if a function call exists within a class, add if not present, check function call args if present and change accordingly
 2. Check if a function def exists and if not insert a function definition inside a class
 3. Points 1 and 2 for blocks (and also for classes and modules)
 4. When rebuilding the edited file comments should be intact
Suggest me a Ruby/Rails parser written in Python. Also, tell me if it is a lot easier in Ruby itself rather than finding a library in Python, and if that would give me a lot more flexibility and even more abilities to control the Ruby files.
Are you trying to edit the ruby files while the ruby application is running?
Or are you using the python scripts to generate a project, like cookiecutter?
Ruby does support reflection and metaprogramming so you can:
 1. check if a method exists using respond_to?
 2. define a method using define_method.
If it were me, I'd do everything in ruby, but it depends on your usecase.
 - I am trying to generate a project just like cookiecutter. And you are right, I later realized I will have to end up having a full fledge ruby parser in one way or the other written wholly in Python, and it makes more sense to use Ruby's own reflection and meta api to change things in ruby files for checking if the function exists or not, or to add new ones. But it would still fall short when it comes to adding an assignment statement and function calls in an existing function or blocks. (Or would it? do we have methods for that as well?) – Saravanabalagi Ramachandran Nov 14 '18 at 12:52

Although often called simply rainbow cookies in much of the continental United States, some local names for this special cookie are:
Neopolitan cookies
Seven-layer cookies
Tricolor cookies
Venetian cookies
In southern Italy almond paste cookies are abundant, but rainbow cookies weren't found in this region or anywhere else in Italy. Although it is reported that recently some bakeries in Italy feature the cookie during the Christmas holidays. Rainbow cookies are an Italian American invention and most likely created to honor the color of the Italian flag. While it can be pretty difficult to pinpoint the exact history or creator, Rainbow cookies were made popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s by Italian-American bakeries, particularly those found in New York City, such as De Lillo's and Ferrara's.
Here is a modern twist video on this old-time treat from CBS News:
Rainbow cookies are also a common dessert for Jewish Americans. As Jewish refugees from Eastern Europe settled in New York at the turn of the 20th century, they often settled in areas that also had an Italian population. It was at this point that Jewish Americans were introduced to the rainbow cookie. The original rainbow cookie was made with butter and featured the Italian flag-like design in white, red and green. Jewish Americans adapted this cookie to suit their own Kosher dietary needs, substituting margarine for the butter. Jewish Americans were the first to change the original Italian flag design from a white layer to a yellow layer and the cookies are quite popular at Jewish delicatessens.
Italian American Rainbow Cookies
1- 8 ounce can almond paste
1 cup of sugar
4 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 drops green food coloring
8 drops red food coloring
12-ounce jar apricot preserves
8 ounces semisweet chocolate
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease three 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dishes; line with waxed paper; spray the paper with cooking spray.
Break up the almond paste in an electric mixer bowl with a fork. Add butter, sugar, egg yolks and extract and beat with the mixer until fluffy, 5 minutes. Beat in the flour and salt.
Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Stir into the almond mixture with a wooden spoon, using a turning motion similar to folding.
Remove 1-1/2 cups batter; spread evenly into one of the prepared pans. Remove another 1-1/2 cups batter to small bowl; tint green with coloring. Spread into the second pan. Tint remaining 1-1/2 cups batter red. Spread in the remaining pan.
Bake 15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden; cake layers will each be 1/4 inch thick. Immediately remove cakes from the pans onto large wire racks. Carefully peel off waxed paper. Cool.
Place red layer on upturned jelly roll pan or large platter lined with foil. Heat preserves; strain. Spread half of the strained preserves over the red layer. Top with a white layer. Spread with remaining preserves. Cover with a green layer, top side up.
Cover with plastic wrap. Weigh down with a large wooden cutting board, heavy flat tray, or large book. Refrigerate overnight.
Melt chocolate on top of a double boiler over hot water.
Trim off the uneven cake edges with a sharp knife. Frost the top layer with half of the melted chocolate. Let chocolate dry. Turn the rectangle over and frost with the remaining chocolate. Let the chocolate dry. Cut the cake crosswise into 1-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip into 1-inch pieces. Makes about 6 dozen. Store in a container in the refrigerator. Cookies freeze well.

The term 'rosette' is commonly used to describe plants that grow leaves around a central growth point making a circle of layers, much the way petals unfold in a rose. Some plants that grow in a rosette look flower-like, others are less obvious. Succulents like aloes, aeoniums and agaves (Century plants) demonstrate the spiral form of growth clearly whereas the lettuce is a little harder to notice. Most plants that grow in a rosette form are neat-looking in the garden. They conform well to container growing and can be used to good effect in a formal or controlled landscape design.

text: Many studies on functional differentiation of the spinal anterior column cells have been performed by Granit and other physiologists, but its histological appraisal has not been made yet. The author investigated various parts of the spinal cord of cats with glycogen staining, phosphorylase reaction and keto-enolic granula staining. The large cells of the lateral nuclei in the anterior column cell group of the cervical and lumbar enlargements had strongly positive phosphorylase reaction and more glycogen and keto-enolic granules, while in the thoracic anterior column or in the medial nuclei of the cervical and lumbar enlargements, the larger cell group was hardly seen and there were mostly the smaller cell groups with negative or extremely weak phosphorylase reaction, less glycogen and less keto-enolic granules. The author has stated in Part I that the white muscle fiber has more phosphorylase and less dehydrogenase, while the red muscle fiber has more dehydrogenase and less phosphorylase. From these facts as stated above, it is considered that the anterior column cells of the lateral nuclei of the cervical and lumbar enlargements innervating the muscles of the extremities with phasic movement are the larger ones and have different metabolic system from that of the smaller cell group of the thoracic anterior column or the medial nuclei innervating the muscles of trunk with tonic function.


Ozone 'Groundhog' kiting wing for ground handling and training
Ground-handling is one of the most important aspects of paragliding and paramotoring progression. With the Groundhog, pilots can progress and learn the most basic or most advanced aspects of ground-handling in strong or light winds safely and easily.
Because the Groundhog is considerably smaller than a normal wing, it can be used for ground-handling training in higher wind, meaning that schools and students will lose less training days because of weather.
Also, the smaller size of the Groundhog makes it easier to use. Students are less likely to be dragged or picked up, and the wing's quick reactions to brake input and footwork help to increase the progression of the pilot.
 - The Ozone GroundHog is for ground-handling practice.
 - Small, simple design for easy training
 - Ground-handling is one of the best ways to improve your flying.
 - Can be used to practice ground-handling in higher winds than normal paragliders, Not for flight!


Should you turn off your router at night?
Should you turn off your router at night?
Most broadband internet users often leave their internet-connected even when they're not factitively using it, like at night or when they're away from home. Is this a good or a bad thing? Should you turn off WiFi at night? The answer to that depends on your specific situation and how you use your internet.
There are several studies and observations that cite the disadvantages and health risks of leaving your router running overnight. But by turning it off, you forego several advantages, and might even limit the usefulness of your router to your home.
Should I leave my wifi router on all the time? Perhaps let's start by looking at the possible reasons why many people leave their router running overnight, and if those pros outweigh the benefits of turning it off.
Why Most People Don't Power Down their Routers at night
 - Communication reliability –After power cycling, network connections may fail to re-establish. That is especially common with broadband modems. Broadband modems generally should be powered on first, then other devices later. The waiting routine can be rather a nuisance to some people.
 - Hardware reliability –power-cycling a computer or another device on your network can shorten its working life, so they prefer leaving them running all through.
 - Convenience –shutting down most modems and routers using the manufacturer's recommended procedure often takes take time, and this can quickly turn into an inconvenience if you have to do it daily.
 - Remote access –if other programs need to access your network remotely, shutting it down means that your system cannot be accessed.
 - Smart home devices and security –if you have a smart home, you probably need to keep your router running at all times. Turning the router off at night means shutting down the connectivity to most of the smart home devices (like security cameras and alarm systems), which can potentially compromise your security.
There're probably other reasons why you keep your router running overnight. However, experts and health-conscious advocates point out far deeper downsides and risks of keeping your router running at all times.
Should I leave my wifi router on all the time?
Reasons To Turn Off WiFi At Night
Save Electricity
The energy bill is one of those bills that just keep growing year after year as more devices get added to the grid. Turning on your router and other electronic devices while you're not using them is draining a significant amount of electricity. That also means you're paying extra bucks at the end of the month towards electricity. Turning off the router at night is a right call if you're determined to keep your monthly bills to the minimum.
Reduce Electromagnetic Radiation
Wi-Fi is one of the largest sources of EMF radiation in most homes. The Wi-Fi in your home keeps devices connected using Radio Frequency EMF. While this radio frequency is incredibly useful at keeping your devices connected, it also poses health risks in large doses.
While you cannot completely prevent exposure to Radio Frequency waves, you can keep it to the minimum. And one of the absolute best ways to dramatically reduce your exposure is to turn off wifi at night.
For many homes, turning off your router or disabling the Wi-Fi doesn't really affect much because you're sleeping. You will still be connected to the outside world via your phone.
How Dangerous Is "Wi-Fi Radiation"?
By "Wi-Fi Radiation", I mean the radiofrequency radiation, which is a type of Electromagnetic Frequency radiation (EMF) your Wi-Fi uses. You can easily measure the radiofrequency radiation using an EMF meter. Radiofrequency radiation is the same type that your cell phones use to communicate with nearby cell towers.
It's also the same type of EMF radiation that causes a lot of damage to our bodies and brains from the use of routers, cellphones, and other wireless devices. I don't want to delve too deep into this, but here is a quick summary of how the "Wi-Fi Radiation" affects our health and lifestyle;
WiFi signal danger
Wi-Fi Radiation Affects Our Sleep
Wi-Fi Radiation is the biggest reason most experts cite when advising homeowners to switch off the Wi-Fi at night. One extensive study carried out at the University Of Melbourne in 2013 revealed that EMF radiation affects the quality of sleep. That is the same reason why you shouldn't sleep with your phone nearby.
The researchers noted that our bodies perceive EMD radiation in the same way they perceive light. So if the body sense EMF radiation, it slows down the production of the pineal gland (the gland responsible for regulating our sleep)
With the inability to get enough sleep, your body is exposed to all manner of opportunistic health issues such as reduced ability to fight disease, grow muscle, repair damage, and expel toxins. There is endless literature on the consequences of sleep deprivation, and EMF dramatically reduces your chances of getting a healthy dose of sleep every day.
Increased Risk of Certain Cancers
There have been numerous studies on brain tumors and the increased use of cell phones and other wireless devices. Excessive exposure to electromagnetic waves increases the risk of certain types of tumors. Researchers and health experts are particularly concerned about the effect of EMF radiation on children. For this reason, countries like England, Sweden, and France are reducing wireless internet from schools and instead opting for wired internet.
People who spend most of their time with equipment that emit magnetic radiation frequently commonly suffer from chronic headaches, insomnia, and much more. Developing simple habits such as disabling your Wi-Fi at night and not sleeping with your phone next to you can significantly reduce your chances of developing related health complications.
Surge protection
Unplugging your router and other network devices prevents damage by power surges. While you might have surge protectors to take care of this, inexpensive surge units might not always protect your devices against major surges. That is particularly important if you live in an area prone to frequent lightning.
Increased security
Powering off a device when you're not using it improves network security. When network devices are offline, hackers cannot target those devices and reduces your chances of being hacked by nearly 40 percent. Other security measures such as firewalls help and are necessary, but not bulletproof.
Should I Turn Off WiFi at Night?
At this point, I am sure you generally agree that turning off your router at night offers more benefits and is good for your health. As discussed, turning off or disabling Wi-Fi can go a long way in reducing your radiation exposure. You have three simple options of making sure your router remains switched off at night;
Use a Mechanical Outlet Timer.
This option is effective and inexpensive. Usually, when things are going a little slow, your ISP tells you to 'power cycle' the router. That simply means switching it off, waiting for about 30 seconds, and switching it on again. You can do the same each night, automatically, using a mechanical outlet timer.
You can purchase a simple mechanical outlet timer on Amazon. Set the timer to disconnect the router automatically from say 10.00 pm and reconnect it at 5:00 am when you wake up. Another option is to turn off your router manually every night –but you're are more likely to forget doing so.
Set a Timer on Your Router
Most routers come with functionality that allows you to schedule when your router turns off and on. All you need is to log into the router software via your browser and navigate to the scheduler in the settings section.
If you have children in the house who never seem to get off the internet, this is an excellent way to regular internet access. With the mechanical timer, they could just unplug the timer and plug the router back in. However, the inbuilt router scheduler allows you to set a password to login to the router itself, making sure they don't disrupt the schedule.
Different routers and computers work differently, so we may not be able to go deep into details on how to do this. If you haven't figured it out yet, consult the router's user manual or the manufacturer's online guides.
Cable your Network
If you take your health serious enough, this option shouldn't be too much out of your way. The aim here is to set an ethernet network and hardwire as many devices in your home as possible and only reserve Wi-Fi for phones and other mobile devices.
You will essentially need to purchase some ethernet cable which is long enough to connect your router to all your computers. The standard option is to run an ethernet cable from the router for each device. But the easiest and most economical way is to use an ethernet cable divider.
An ethernet cable divider comes with multiple outlet ethernet ports and one input port. The divider allows you to connect multiple computers to a single ethernet cable running from the router. If you have no idea how to hook all these up, you should probably consult a professional network installer.
EMF Protection
If you cannot power down your WiFi at night another option is to use an EMF protection device. There are a number of items available that can help protect you from EMFs. Here are a few options. Click the link to see Amazon Pricing.
WiFi neutralizer
eLink EMF Neutralizer – Pendant Protection Device
eLink EMF Neutralizer – Whole House Plug Protection Device
The Bottom Line
Should you turn off WiFi at night? Most probably, yes. That is not only for your health but also for the ultimate performance and durability of your Wi-Fi devices. The only exception could be if you have a smart home or home security system that heavily relies on the availability of the internet.

Animal Species:Golden-spined Ant
Golden-spined or Golden Ants have a metallic sheen to their body, which is covered in golden hairs.
Golden-spined Ants have a strangely spined thorax, probably used in defence against predators.
8 mm - 11 mm
Golden-spined Ants are found throughout Australia.
Found in urban areas, forests and woodlands, heath, Golden-spined Ants often nest in sand at the base of shrubs and trees.
Many Golden-spined Ants stay in their nest during wet or extremely hot periods.
Feeding and Diet
Golden-spined Ants are omnivores. They collect nectar and pollen from a wide range of plants including eucalypts and acacias. They also collect dew from these plants early in the morning. They forage as individuals and can be seen on food-collecting missions at most times and in most weather conditions.

Banana rots the fastest in both room temperature and refrigerator and the apple rots the slowest in room temperature and refrigerator. This means that the bananas don't last really long before they rot and the apple lasts along time before it rots. That will be Bananas and pears.

What fruit molds the fastest?
What foods grow mold the fastest? Fruits/Vegetables As moisture allows bacteria to breed, juicier fruits and vegetables, such as peaches, plums, tomatoes and cucumbers, are more likely to get moldy quicker than are those with harder peels and rinds, such as bananas, apples, peppers and squash.
Why does a banana rot faster than an apple?
Bananas ripen faster than apples because they are more sensitive, as they have softer cellular tissues. This also speeds up ripening, which if allowed to continue for too long a period, they will rot.
What fruit browns the fastest?
Once exposed to oxygen, enzymes in the apple begin converting natural chemicals called polyphenols into 'melanin', an iron-containing compound that gives the flesh a brown, rusty colour. The reaction happens quickly, and so a sliced apple can start to turn brown in only a few minutes.
What causes fruit to rot faster?
Some of the primary culprits are air, moisture, light, temperature, and microbial growth. Most fruits and vegetables spoil easily because of damage caused by microorganisms. Microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and molds need water and nutrients for growth, energy and reproduction.
How fast does a banana mold?
My original question was "Which Fruit does Mold Grow the Fastest on?" From my experiment I found out that the banana grows mold the fastest, with a time of 6-7 days, then the orange with a time of 7-9 days.
Why does a banana grow mold?
Because bananas are soft inside and out, they are susceptible to certain threats that make them unusable. Your bananas may also start to mold as they rot, so look for spores on the surface of the peel. Mold on a banana peel looks similar to the mold on bread, and if you see it, the bananas have to be thrown away.
Why should you not put bananas with other fruit?
There's a reason why you should keep apples or bananas separate from other fruit. These two — and others — produce large amounts of ethylene gas, the so-called "fruit ripening hormone." As they reach maturity, their ethylene levels increase, according to the University of Maine Extension.
Can you ripen an apple?
The bottom line: Apples don't ripen nor improve in quality at home after they're picked. You may have seen on another website that apples will ripen after being picked. This leads many consumers to the (false) belief that if they have unripe apples at home, they can let them ripen on the counter or in a cool place.
Why do avocados ripen next to bananas?
Many ripening fruit produce the hydrocarbon gas ethylene as they ripen, which itself triggers more ripening. Bananas are especially productive sources of the gas, and putting one that's in the process of going brown next to apples, pears or hard avocados will greatly speed up their ripening.

What browns faster apple or banana?
I was right that the apples turn brown faster because, when apples been cut open air rushes in to the apple to make it age after just about several minutes. Bananas on the other side doesn't turn brown that fast because it is less likely to age. 34min. 35min.
Why do Granny Smith apples turn brown?
When an apple is cut, enzymes (and iron in the apple) chemically react with oxygen. The fruit quickly begins to oxidize, and its flesh turns brown.
Why does fruit get moldy?
Mold often grows on fruit because the conditions are just right to culture the spores. Since fruit is moist, it is ground zero for harboring this microscopic fungi. Fruit provides the nutrients and moisture for mold to thrive. Mold spores, in this case, usually travel through the air and land on the fruit's surface.
What causes an apple to rot?
Apples turn brown because of a chemical reaction called "oxidation", which is caused by oxygen from the air. Oxygen is one of the most reactive chemicals known, and there are many kinds of oxidation reactions. The fridge does not stop chemical reactions, so bacteria will still rot the food eventually.
What will happen if fruits are damaged?
It also turns fruit and vegetables brown. When fruit tissue is damaged because of heat, cold, age or mechanical stress, its cells break open and the phenolic compounds and the enzyme are released and mix with oxygen in the air. As a result the damaged tissue turns brown almost immediately.

It authorizes local governments to enact ordinances regulating construction activity to prevent erosion and pollution by sediment and allows parties injured by activity in violation of the law to recover damages. In Applewood Properties, LLC, et al. v. New South Properties, LLC, et al., decided March 20, 2012, the North Carolina Court of Appeals reviewed an order by the trial court granting summary judgment to defendants and dismissing SPCA claims filed against the defendants. The court found that while the defendants may have engaged in soil disturbing activities, there was no sediment deposited into water as a result of those activities.

The Impact of the Chinese Exchange Policy on Foreign Trade
with the European Union
The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of the Chinese foreign exchange policy on foreign trade with the European Union. After describing the importance of the exchange rate in an open economy and some of the methodologies employed to calculate its equilibrium value, we examine whether the Chinese competitiveness is due to the existence of misalignment (undervaluation) of its exchange rate, or rather, to other sources of competitiveness. For this purpose, we use a Vector Error Correction (VEC) model to estimate a long-run exports equation. The empirical results indicate that over the past few years, Chinese exports have benefited from an 'unfair' competitive advantage resulting from the manipulation of its currency value.


find the length of the laus rectum of the parabolaplz help..thanx in advance!!
2 years ago
Answers : (2)
the above equation can be written as
 ( 2y-5)^2=2(x+4)
 therefore the length of the latus rectum is 2
2 years ago
A small mistake in the above post.
(2y-5)2 = -2x-17+25 = -2x+8 = -2(x-4)
or, (y- 5/2)2 = -1/2 * (x-4)
So Latus Rectum is 1/2.

As family historians venture into cemeteries to look for more clues about their ancestors many wonder what, if anything, the symbols on headstones mean.
While most headstone symbols do have a textbook meaning, many were chosen simply because the person who died requested such a design, or because the person choosing the headstone liked how it looked. They may not have realised their chosen design had meaning. Fashion also played a big part, as did the need to impress. Therefore the true representation of a headstone symbol may never be known.
Nevertheless, it's interesting to know the potential meanings behind various symbols. Here are some examples I've found in the rural cemeteries of Canterbury, New Zealand.

While having a large enough stomach capacity plays the major role during most longer food challenges, speed eating definitely plays the main role in most shorter eating contests. When you are attempting a large food challenge, you typically have a lot more time to work with than you do during eating contests. A majority of challenges have a time limit ranging between 30 minutes and 1 hour, while very few challenges have time limits lower than 15 minutes. It is totally the opposite for eating contests. Most contests are 10 minutes or less, and there are very few actual eating contests longer than 15 minutes. In the sport of track & field, there are sprinters and there are long distance runners, and then there are just a few people that excel at both. Sprinting takes speed while long distance running requires a heavy amount of endurance. Not many sprinters can compete in long distance races, and not many long distance runners can compete in sprinting. There are some people that can do both though, and this same concept applies to the world of food challenges and competitive eating too. There are some people that will dominate eating competitions less than 5 minutes because they are great speed eaters, but they don't have the stomach capacity to compete in the longer events. Then there are some people that can dominate large food challenges in under 1 hour, but they cannot compete with speed eaters during eating contests. Then there are some people that can do both because they have a large stomach capacity and are also great speed eaters. Which category do you think applies to you and your competitive eating skill level?
Almost all of the Stomach Capacity Training articles apply strictly to helping you train to increase your body's stomach capacity. You may also have read the article How To Increase Your Jaw Strength which shows you how you can train to increase the strength and endurance of your jaw and mouth muscles during competitions. As mentioned in that article, the 2 major factors involved with speed eating are having a strong jaw with a lot of endurance, and also having the ability to swallow larger chunks of food at a faster rate. The key to speed eating is to focus on swallowing rather than chewing. You need the strong jaw strength to bite the food and chew it up a few times (if even necessary), but then you have to have the ability to swallow it quickly so that you can move on to taking more bites so that you can swallow again and keep repeating the process. You will learn how to eat fast by reading Speed Eating: How To Eat Food Faster in the Eating Contest Tips section, but in this article you will learn how to train yourself to become able to eat fast, which really isn't that hard if you follow these tips:
Practice swallowing with your head up – If you ever watch some of the top competitive eaters speed eat, you will see them holding their head up during almost the entire contest except for when they are grabbing more food. The best way to explain why you should do this is by explaining one of the first steps to giving somebody CPR (mouth-to-mouth resuscitation). Before breathing into their mouth or performing a series of firm chest compressions, you have to tilt the person's head back to allow air to flow more freely in and out. During CPR you do not want the person's airway blocked, and air won't flow freely if the person's head is down. This applies to speed eating and swallowing too. Do you ever chug liquids with your head down? Keep your head up while you are eating and swallowing will be much easier for you. Practice this during all your regular meals at home.
Practice with water first – Before practicing with food, train with water. You goal is to be able to swallow more food at one time, so practice swallowing as much water as you can. By doing this, you are able to get your throat used to swallowing more while also eliminating the risk of choking. You can do this anywhere you are allowed to drink water, which is basically everywhere. Tilt your head back and fill your mouth with as much water as possible, almost to the point where it is dripping out, and then try to swallow. You may not be able to the first time, and you may therefore need to start with a little less water in your mouth. Keep on practicing and building up until you can swallow the whole mouthful of water. Then you are ready to practice safely with real food.
Train with real food – To train your body to hold more food, practice by eating real food. To train your jaw to chew food harder and faster, you need to practice by chewing real food harder and faster. Therefore, to train your body to swallow more food faster, practice swallowing larger chunks of real food faster, but be careful.
Try softer foods first – Now that you know to keep your head up and esophagus open, and you can swallow an entire mouthful of water at one time, you are ready to practice with food. It is not smart to go straight from swallowing water to bigger pieces of steak though, so start by training with softer foods like oatmeal. Cook up some oatmeal for breakfast or as a snack, and then practice swallowing large mouthfuls of it. Feel free to chase the big bites with some water. Definitely keep water on hand either way though because the water will come in handy if you are struggling to swallow the oatmeal after your throat starts getting dry. You may have some other softer foods in your pantry too. Rice, quinoa, and other moist foods can work well also. Using foods like this help you establish great form while all but eliminating your chances of choking. Always train safely!!
After you have progressed from step to step and now feel comfortable swallowing larger chunks of food, you are ready to start training with real foods. You basically want to practice speed eating without worrying about increasing your jaw strength. As mentioned in How To Increase Your Jaw Strength, you want to do one or the other, and you can't really do both. You can do this with any regular meal, but I prefer training with easier to chew and swallow foods like large sandwiches. Unless you are practicing for a steak challenge, really tough foods like steak aren't great for practicing to swallow and eat faster. Those are better for training your jaw strength. The main thing that you need to do is to make sure you don't go crazy. You DO NOT want to risk choking, and therefore you should NOT practice swallowing extra large bites. That is also why you don't want to train at home with really tough foods. You may not want to train when you are out to dinner with your girlfriend, but it is smart to have somebody around you just in case. You can choke anytime at any meal if you are not careful, but your chances increase drastically if you are attempting to speed eat. Always have water or some other type of liquid handy in case you need it. Competitive eating is meant to be fun, and you do not want to hurt yourself doing it. Now that you are trained and ready to practice, read Speed Eating: How To Eat Food Faster.

Moulded concrete blocks were a cheap alternative to brick masonry and looked a bit like stone. Some were being made in New Zealand in the early 1900s, and a few houses and other buildings utilised them. Firth began the first large-scale production of New Zealand concrete blocks in 1938. Concrete blocks are formed with thin walls, leaving a large cavity in the centre so that reinforcing steel can be placed in the wall. Blocks are made in standard sizes and are joined with a 10-millimetre-thick cement mortar. Concrete blocks proved to be very popular in New Zealand, particularly for industrial buildings, because they allow walls to be rapidly built.
Entire buildings can be almost all made using concrete frames and floor panels precast in a factory. Very often, precast elements are an important part of the architecture of the building. Precast elements are made in high-quality reusable moulds, with steel reinforcing placed in the mould before pouring the concrete.
Terrazzo is a special form of precast concrete in which the aggregates are specially selected for their colour and shape, and the cement mix is coloured to obtain a material which is highly decorative. It was widely used in the 20th century for floors in commercial and institutional buildings, as well as for such things as domestic sink benches. Following the casting and curing process, the material is machine-ground to obtain a robust, smooth, fine-grained finish. In the early 2000s terrazzo enjoyed a resurgence of popularity as a high-quality architectural finish.
Tonnes of cement
Limestone deposits close to rail links or deep-water ports were ideal for cement manufacture. They were quarried at Whangārei, Tarakohe in Golden Bay and Milburn in Otago. The names Golden Bay and Milburn became synonymous with cement. In the mid 2000s cement was produced at only two plants – one at Cape Foulwind, near Westport, the other at Portland, near Whangārei. Their combined annual output was over 1 million tonnes.
Konka board was developed in the early 1900s as a lightweight panel system which had some of the virtues of concrete. Concrete for the panels used volcanic pumice as an aggregate, and had a backing of building paper. Panels were about 900 by 900 millimetres, and 50 millimetres thick. They were fixed into timber framing with galvanised steel clips and nails. Joints were covered with hessian (sacking) soaked in wet cement and the whole surface was then roughcast.
In the early 1900s asbestos was combined with cement to form thin rigid sheets suitable for cladding and lining for buildings. It could be moulded and it naturally lent itself to use for roofing, including large corrugated sheets known as 'super six', with matching spouting and flashings. It was also sold as a large slate for roofing and wall covering. Marketed as a long-lasting lining, it was widely used – especially by home handymen.
In the mid-1970s, asbestos's link with the lung disease asbestosis was recognised, and it is no longer used in buildings. Where it is found in existing buildings, the law requires it to be professionally removed in strictly controlled conditions. A substitute for asbestos cement is fibre cement, formed with reinforcing fibres of cellulose or glass.

Diagnosis related group (DRG) is a patient classification system adopted on the basis of diagnosis consisting of distinct groupings. It is a scheme that provides a means for relating the type of patients a hospital treats with the costs incurred by the hospital. DRG are based upon the patient's principal diagnosis, ICD diagnoses, gender, age, sex, treatment procedure, discharge status, and the presence of complications or comorbidities.
It is a system developed for Medicare as part of the prospective payment system that utilizes a predetermined rate per case or type of discharge. DRGs have been used in the US in inpatient hospital discharge and the emergency department encounter query modules since 1983 to determine how much medicare pays the hospital, since patients within each category are similar clinically and some groups of patients having common demographic, diagnostic, and therapeutic attributes use the same level of hospital resources.

Hackernoon logoCarrierWave Upload Multiple Images by@kolosek
CarrierWave Upload Multiple Images
Nesha Hacker Noon profile picture
CEO @ Kolosek.com
When you are building a web application, you definitely want to add an option for image uploading as well. In this tutorial, we will show you the necessary steps to enable upload multiple images/files using CarrierWave in Rails 4+ from scratch. A similar procedure can be applied for nested forms.
Step 1: In the gem file
CarrierWave is a Ruby gem that provides a simple and extremely flexible way to upload files from Ruby applications. You will need to add these gems to the Gemfile and run
bundle install
gem 'carrierwave'
Step 2: Setting up CarrierWave
The first step to configure CarrierWave it to run the following command:
rails generate uploader Avatar
This will create a new directory called uploaders in the app folder and a file inside called avatar_uploader.rb.
class AvatarUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
 storage :file
 def store_dir
 def default_url
 "/images/fallback/" + [version_name, "default.png"].compact.join('_')
- You can modify the default directory to change where uploaded files will be stored.
- It is the path to the default image, you can use this image if no other image has been selected.
Step 3: Generate your migrations
You can generate your migrations using Scaffolding in Rails. This will generate a full set of model, views and controller, and a test suite for each of the above. It is the most simple way to get your project up and running.
 - rails g scaffold post title:string
 - rails g scaffold post_attachment post_id:integer avatar:string
 - rake db:migrate
Step 4: Edit Models
Once scaffolding finishes generating the files you can start editing your models.
You want to be able to create post and post_attachment in one go. To do this you need to add the following to
 class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
 has_many :post_attachments
 accepts_nested_attributes_for :post_attachments
'accepts_nested_attributes_for :post_attachments'
- Nested attributes allow you to save attributes on associated records through the parent.
The time has come to mount your uploader. Navigate to your PostAttachment model and add
'mount_uploader :avatar, AvatarUploader'
to the file.
 class PostAttachment < ActiveRecord::Base
 mount_uploader :avatar, AvatarUploader
 belongs_to :post
Step 5: Modify your Controller
The next step is to modify the
to accept those new nested attributes.
def show
 _USER_ = _USER_.post_attachments.all
def new
 _USER_ = Post.new
 _USER_ = _USER_.post_attachments.build
To make sure that
is ready to be created once the new post is done, you will need to build it with
 def create
 _USER_ = Post.new(post_params)
 respond_to do |format|
 if _USER_.save
 params[:post_attachments]['avatar'].each do |a|
 _USER_ = _USER_.post_attachments.create!(:avatar => a, :post_id => _USER_.id)
 format.html { redirect_to _USER_, notice: 'Post was successfully created.' }
 format.html { render action: 'new' }
To help the nested attributes reach the model, you will need to add the following to the post_params method in the PostController.
def post_params
 params.require(:post).permit(:title, post_attachments_attributes:
 [:id, :post_id, :avatar])
Step 6: View layout
For the last step to finish out application you will need to edit the view to allow us to upload new images. You can do this by adding the following line:
<%= p.file_field :avatar, :multiple => true, name: "post_attachments[avatar][]" %>
<%= form_for(_USER_, :html => { :multipart => true }) do |f| %>

 <%= f.label :title %>
 <%= f.text_field :title %>
 <%= f.fields_for :post_attachments do |p| %>

 <%= p.label :avatar %>
 <% end %>

 <%= f.submit %>
 <% end %>

Working Paper, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta 2006-27
Over the past years, several countries around the world have adopted a system of prudential prompt corrective action (PCA). The European Union countries are being encouraged to adopt PCA by policy analysts who explicitly call for its adoption. To date, most of the discussion on PCA has focused on its overall merits. This paper focuses on the preconditions needed for the adoption of an effective PCA. These preconditions include conceptual elements such as a prudential supervisory focus on minimizing deposit insurance losses and mandating supervisory action as capital declines. These preconditions also include institutional aspects such as greater supervisory independence and authority, more effective resolution mechanisms, and better methods of measuring capital.
