Live response systems allow a presenter to electronically solicit opinions and ideas from an audience in real time. For instance, you might want a breakdown on the participants' favorite hobbies—gardening, hiking, reading, and so on. Instead of trying to glean an estimate from a show of hands for each hobby, you can ask the audience to choose the appropriate response using clickers you provide. Members of your audience point their clickers at the screen and the software captures their responses. These systems have been around for a while, but they're limited by location and hardware.
Now, thanks to an add-in, members of your audience can use their mobile devices to respond to live polls, either by internet or text. The premise is the same, but setup is easy and you don't have to provide clickers for your audience.
I'm using PowerPoint 2016 on a Windows 10 64-bit system. There's no downloadable demonstration file.
There are a few add-ins you could choose, but I opted for Poll Everywhere because it's easy to use and has a free version so you can work through this example without making a purchase. The free plan includes live PowerPoint polls, web response, widgets, Twitter, and downloadable results, so you may never need more than the free version. However, it limits each poll to 25 responses.
Using Poll Everywhere, you can solicit real-time responses from your audience. It works as you might expect:
- You display a poll in your presentation.
- The poll slide displays a graphic representation of your poll and instructions for responding by text, Twitter, or a URL.
- All responses are directed to a web server where they are counted and displayed onscreen in real time.
To use Poll Everywhere, you need an account and the software. Then in PowerPoint, you create the poll and when it's ready, activate it. You can reuse the same poll in a presentation, but you must clear each session's results.
To get started, open PowerPoint 2016 and add Poll Everywhere as follows:
- Click the Insert tab.
- Click Store in the Add-ins group.
- In the resulting dialog, enter Poll Everywhere in the Search tool (Figure A).
- Click Add and Poll Everywhere will display the Insert Poll slide (Figure B).
- For this example, click Multiple Choice. There are several to choose from and you'll want to explore all those options later.
- Enter the information required to create an account (Figure C) and click Create Account. Once you have an account, simply log in.
Search for Poll Everywhere.
Getting Poll Everywhere is easy.
Create an account.
At this point, Poll Everywhere will display a generic poll slide. Replace the generic question and options with your own, as shown in Figure D. Notice the option at the bottom that lets you limit each participant to a single vote by default. Click Insert New Poll when you're ready.
Create a poll.
To access the poll's settings, mouse over the top-right corner and click the Settings icon shown in Figure E. We won't spend any time on the visual settings, but you'll definitely want to explore them on your own.
Customize your poll.
The other icons activate and deactivate the poll, lock it, and clear it. Before running the presentation and activating the poll, you can resize the poll to fit the slide, or not. If the poll covers the entire slide, a click won't advance to the next slide because you're clicking the embedded poll. Keep this in mind when sizing a poll. On the other hand, the navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen still work as expected, so losing that click advance might not matter to you.
When you're ready to run the presentation, press [F5]. Accessing the poll slide will activate it, as shown in Figure F. The instructions for participating are at the top of the slide. For this example, I sent a text and used the website by accessing the displayed URL shown in Figure G. Figure H shows the poll after I voted twice.
Your poll is activated and ready for responses.
You can vote using the internet, text, and Twitter.
Your poll updates automatically as participants respond.
Now that you've created your first simple poll, you're ready to explore Poll Everywhere's many settings so you can customize your polls.
Once you have Poll Everywhere, you can add a poll to any presentation, but you can have only one active poll at a time unless you purchase a more robust version. You can, however, have more than one poll in a presentation.
Depending on your audience, a short, fun practice poll might be a good idea. You might also want to anticipate some of their concerns by sharing the following information:
- Participation is free, but carrier fees are applicable when texting.
- You can't see their phone numbers; responses are private (anonymous).
- When texting, case won't matter but spacing and spelling will.
Participants can't readily cheat, but do take notice that although I limited participants to one response, I was allowed to respond using text and the URL—it was me both times but the software can't possibly know that.
Poll Everywhere works on most browsers, but according to Poll Everywhere, you'll have the best results with the following versions:
- Chrome 49 and later
- Internet Explorer 11.0 and later
- Safari 9.0 and later
- Firefox 45.0 and later
Poll Everywhere runs on both PCs and Macs. You can use it in PowerPoint 2016 and 2013. Neither TechRepublic nor I have any financial interest in Poll Everywhere; nor do we endorse this product beyond its use in this example.

U.S. Highway 67
As of 2004, the highway's northern terminus is in Sabula, Iowa at an intersection with U.S. Highway 52. Its southern terminus is in Presidio, Texas at the Rio Grande, where it continues in Mexico as Highway 16.
- When US 67 was commissioned in the original 1926 numbering plan, it extended from Fredericktown, Missouri to Dallas, Texas.
- The route was extended across West Texas to its present-day southern terminus in 1930.
- In 1934, US 67 was extended northward to Dubuque, Iowa. Between Davenport, Iowa and Dubuque, it incorporated the route of U.S. Highway 55. The remainder of US 55 (to Minneapolis, Minnesota) was absorbed by U.S. Highway 52.
- The 1934 extension left the last 35 miles (56 km) of US 67, south of Dubuque, co-signed with the extended US 52. In 1967, the US 67 designation was removed from this section, ending US 67 at Sabula, Iowa.
The highway passes through the following states:

Oct. 7, 2004 Get out -- for at least 30 minutes. The positive impact warm, sunny weather can have on mental health and mood are real, according to new University of Michigan research.
Taking a trip to someplace warm in the middle of winter or lingering outside when spring arrives can be especially beneficial, with pleasant weather improving mood, memory and broadening cognitive style (openness to new information and creative thoughts) as time spent outside increased, researchers found. Hotter weather during the summer, however, lowered mood levels and the effect of pleasant weather was far less noticeable in other seasons.
"Being outside in pleasant weather really offers a way to re-set your mind-set,'' said Matthew Keller, the U-M post-doctoral researcher who led the psychology study. "Everyone thinks weather affects mood but the biggest tests of this theory in 2000 found no relationship, so we went back and found there are two important variables: how much time you spend outside and what the season is. If you go from winter to spring and spend enough time outside, there's a noticeable change."
The findings, completed by a team that also included U-M social psychology professors Barbara Frederickson and Oscar Ybarra, will be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Psychological Science.
A set of three studies involved more than 600 participants from throughout the United States. In one study conducted during the spring in Ann Arbor, participants who were randomly assigned to be outdoors during warm and sunny days showed improved mood and memory compared to participants who were outside when the weather was not pleasant and compared to participants who spent the time inside.
The impact of weather on mood and cognition has been difficult to demonstrate because people in industrialized countries, on average, spend 93 percent of their time indoors, making them largely disconnected from the impact of changing weather outside.
Keller himself experienced the phenomenon and was inspired to conduct the research after leaving Michigan for a mid-winter trip to Mexico, quickly being reminded that "life is full of color and life is fun. It's easy to forget that during the wintertime."
He notes that most people feel a little more blue in the winter and better in the spring, with the most extreme example being among those who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a recurrent depression with typical onset during the fall or winter. Previous research has found a connection between hot weather and violent behavior, and sunnier weather improving stock performance.
The researchers also found the optimal temperature for mood for most Americans is 72 degrees, about room temperature, with mood decreasing if temperatures became significantly higher or lower. There were regional differences, however, with mood peaking at 65 degrees in Michigan and 86 degrees in considerably warmer Texas.
For weather to improve mood, subjects needed to spend at least 30 minutes outside in warm, sunny weather. Contrary to their initial expectations, researchers found that spending time indoors when the weather outside was pleasant actually decreased mood and narrowed cognitive style. They suspected this was perhaps because people resent being cooped-up indoors when weather becomes better in the spring or perhaps because improved weather can make normal indoor activities feel boring or irritating.
The researchers note that it should not be surprising that weather and seasons affect human behavior, given that humans have evolved with seasonal and weather changes since the dawn of the species.
Calling for further research into the subject, the researchers offer a straight forward prescription: "If you wish to reap the psychological benefits of good springtime weather, go outside.''

Given that much of the world does not use these modern toilet inventions, it's hard to imagine what a bidet toilet seat is if one hasn't seen one before.
While the bidet has roots in Europe tracing back to the 17th century, bidet toilet seats were invented in Japan in the 1980s by a company called Toto. They call these bidet seats the Toto Washlet and the "washlet" has since been used to refer to electronic bidet seats, much like how Kleenex is used to refer to facial tissues. Since they were invented they have spread to other Asian countries such as South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Bidet toilet seats are widespread in Japan and South Korea.
A bidet toilet seat is essentially a toilet seat with a built-in bidet. You may have seen a traditional bidet before. These are quite common in places such as Italy, Spain, and Portugal. They are usually placed beside the toilet and look just like one, but function like a sink.
Bidets are mainly used to wash and clean the genital area, anus, and inner buttocks. They were not meant to replace toilet paper, but to provide some cleanliness without having to take a full shower.
Nowadays, with the invention of the electronic toilet seat bidet, it's possible to replace toilet paper completely as these devices have drying capabilities.
A bidet toilet seat looks like this:
And water from the bidet function comes out from this nozzle:
Bidet toilet seats are meant to replace existing toilet seats, turning them into toilet seats with bidets without having to replace the whole toilet.
How does a bidet seat work?
After you finish using the toilet, stay seated on the toilet and activate the bidet.
To turn on the bidet function, you press a button on the control. A bidet toilet seat is operated by either an attached control panel on the side of the seat or a remote control.
Using the control, you can adjust the temperature of the water to your liking as well as the position of the nozzle. You can also adjust the pressure of the spray. The nozzle extends when you activate it and retracts when you're finished using it.
Bidet seats do more than just clean. They typically have heated seats which make using the toilet in the winter super comfortable. They also have air dryers so you can dry up quickly. And to keep things sanitary, nozzles usually have automatic self-cleaning abilities that activate between toilet use.
Bidet seats are safe to use for people of all ages. Bidet seat use is particularly high among elderly people because they don't have to move so much when using the toilet and it's much easier to keep clean than constantly having to take a shower.
Bidet seats also help people with medical conditions heal faster by keeping things cleaner. In fact, bidet seats were inspired by cleansing medical devices that people were using. They are a significant improvement to those devices that sprayed water at unpredictable temperatures and angles.
We hope this has been a helpful introduction to bidet toilet seats. If you would like to purchase one to try out in your home, check out our carefully-selected recommendations below. If you have any questions for us about bidet seats in general, let us know below as well!

4 reasons for unequal bequests
| Nov 27, 2018 | Uncategorized |
Unequal bequests can wreak havoc on a family when they read the will. Children typically expect that assets will get divided evenly. Three children all expect the same amount of money, for example, or they expect to share ownership of real estate.
However, parents sometimes opt to leave unequal bequests, which can lead to some serious disputes. Children feel insulted. They feel like their parents didn't love them as much as their siblings. They feel like the estate plan rips them off. They take all these frustrations to court.
So why do parents do it? Below are four potential reasons that they leave unequal amounts to their kids:
1. Lack of contact
Parents may lose touch with one child over time, while keeping in touch with others. This level of contact can make a difference. They may be willing to leave more to the children they feel closer to, while cutting the estranged child out to some degree — or removing them from the will completely. This is especially an issue if some children ignored the relationship while others actively helped care for their elderly parents in old age.
2. Favoring biological children
With blended families and stepchildren, the biological children may get favor from their parents. This may mean that the way assets get passed down depends on which parent passes away first. Either way, the stepchildren of the remaining parent could find themselves getting less than their brothers and sisters.
3. Favoring one marriage over another
Another potential issue is when parents get remarried and then have biological children with the new partner. Now they have children from an older marriage that failed or ended, and they have children from a current — or at least more recent — marriage. They could favor one set of children, depending on the way that the marriages played out, even though the children have nothing to do with that directly.
4. Providing for those who need it
One of the most common reasons for unequal bequests is when the parents feel that one child needs money more than the other. A child with massive amounts of debt and a low-paying job may end up getting more than a child with no debt and a good career.
The problem is that the child who gets less may feel like it's a punishment for a successful life, rather than a reward. Regardless of the clear need, this can lead to estate disputes.
Resolving disputes
These disputes can be long, complex and emotionally charged. It is critical that those working to resolve them know all of the legal options they have and what steps to take moving forward.

Exercise chair, England, _PHONE_
Made from mahogany and leather and measuring just over 2 m high, this exercise chair was said to offer the equivalent of riding a horse. Known in the 1800s as a chamber horse, the user sat on the seat and bounced up and down on the concertina springs as if trotting on a horse. Horse riding was considered a form of healthy exercise. Judging by the materials and its size, the chair was probably owned by someone who was wealthy.

Rank of An Abelian Group

Rank of An Abelian Group
In mathematics, the rank, Prüfer rank, or torsion-free rank of an abelian group A is the cardinality of a maximal linearly independent subset.[1] The rank of A determines the size of the largest free abelian group contained in A. If A is torsion-free then it embeds into a vector space over the rational numbers of dimension rank A. For finitely generated abelian groups, rank is a strong invariant and every such group is determined up to isomorphism by its rank and torsion subgroup. Torsion-free abelian groups of rank 1 have been completely classified. However, the theory of abelian groups of higher rank is more involved.
The term rank has a different meaning in the context of elementary abelian groups.
A subset {a?} of an abelian group is linearly independent (over Z) if the only linear combination of these elements that is equal to zero is trivial: if
where all but finitely many coefficients n? are zero (so that the sum is, in effect, finite), then all summands are 0. Any two maximal linearly independent sets in A have the same cardinality, which is called the rank of A.
Rank of an abelian group is analogous to the dimension of a vector space. The main difference with the case of vector space is a presence of torsion. An element of an abelian group A is classified as torsion if its order is finite. The set of all torsion elements is a subgroup, called the torsion subgroup and denoted T(A). A group is called torsion-free if it has no non-trivial torsion elements. The factor-group A/T(A) is the unique maximal torsion-free quotient of A and its rank coincides with the rank of A.
The notion of rank with analogous properties can be defined for modules over any integral domain, the case of abelian groups corresponding to modules over Z. For this, see finitely generated module#Generic rank.
 - The rank of an abelian group A coincides with the dimension of the Q-vector space A? Q. If A is torsion-free then the canonical map A -> A? Q is injective and the rank of A is the minimum dimension of Q-vector space containing A as an abelian subgroup. In particular, any intermediate group Zn < A < Qn has rank n.
 - Abelian groups of rank 0 are exactly the periodic abelian groups.
 - The group Q of rational numbers has rank 1. Torsion-free abelian groups of rank 1 are realized as subgroups of Q and there is a satisfactory classification of them up to isomorphism. By contrast, there is no satisfactory classification of torsion-free abelian groups of rank 2.[2]
 - Rank is additive over short exact sequences: if
is a short exact sequence of abelian groups then rk B = rk A + rk C. This follows from the flatness of Q and the corresponding fact for vector spaces.
where the sum in the right hand side uses cardinal arithmetic.
Groups of higher rank
Abelian groups of rank greater than 1 are sources of interesting examples. For instance, for every cardinal d there exist torsion-free abelian groups of rank d that are indecomposable, i.e. cannot be expressed as a direct sum of a pair of their proper subgroups. These examples demonstrate that torsion-free abelian group of rank greater than 1 cannot be simply built by direct sums from torsion-free abelian groups of rank 1, whose theory is well understood. Moreover, for every integer, there is a torsion-free abelian group of rank that is simultaneously a sum of two indecomposable groups, and a sum of n indecomposable groups.[] Hence even the number of indecomposable summands of a group of an even rank greater or equal than 4 is not well-defined.
Another result about non-uniqueness of direct sum decompositions is due to A.L.S. Corner: given integers, there exists a torsion-free abelian group A of rank n such that for any partition into k natural summands, the group A is the direct sum of k indecomposable subgroups of ranks.[] Thus the sequence of ranks of indecomposable summands in a certain direct sum decomposition of a torsion-free abelian group of finite rank is very far from being an invariant of A.
Other surprising examples include torsion-free rank 2 groups An,m and Bn,m such that An is isomorphic to Bn if and only if n is divisible by m.
For abelian groups of infinite rank, there is an example of a group K and a subgroup G such that
 - K is indecomposable;
 - K is generated by G and a single other element; and
 - Every nonzero direct summand of G is decomposable.
The notion of rank can be generalized for any module M over an integral domain R, as the dimension over R0, the quotient field, of the tensor product of the module with the field:
It makes sense, since R0 is a field, and thus any module (or, to be more specific, vector space) over it is free.
It is a generalization, since any abelian group is a module over the integers. It easily follows that the dimension of the product over Q is the cardinality of maximal linearly independent subset, since for any torsion element x and any rational q

Distinct Business Entity
DEFINITION of 'Distinct Business Entity'
A sub-division within a company that is completely autonomous from the rest of the company. The distinct business entity will have complete control over how it utilizes its assets, organizes its management and the most appropriate financing structure if required.
BREAKING DOWN 'Distinct Business Entity'
A distinct business entity will most likely be segregated from the rest of the company based on some operational distinction, such as having a separate product line, being geographically segregated or by offering a different service then the rest of the company.
Distinct business units can be a key element for any firm, as these units have the flexibility to make daily and high level management decisions at the operational level, which frequently yields better decision making. They can take the forms, such as a corporation, association or business trust.

The Spiritual Life - What is spiritual health?
Spiritual Health - Home | Facebook
What is spiritual health?
Spiritual health is not usually named as a thing. Human beings are much more likely to talk about physical health, mental health, financial health, public health, community health, and the health of various systems.
One of the components of the UU A Way Of Life is to improve spiritual health. Before we can improve spiritual health we have to have a baseline, a reference point from which to compare. To ascertain a baseline we have to have a description of its components and indicators of the presence and strength of those components we can measure. What are the components of spiritual health? Here's a suggested list to start:
 1. Peace and joy
 2. Kindness
 3. Forgiveness
 4. Attunement to the nondualistic Oneness
 5. Unconditional love
 6. Mindfulness
 7. Felt connection to the interdependent web
 8. Freedom from and freedom to
 9. Self efficacy
The way these components can be measured simply is to answer the question, "To what extent has this factor been present in your life in the past several months or year on a scale of 0 -10 with 0 meaning 0% of the time, 10 meaning 100% of the time and 5 meaning 50% of the time?" This is meant to be a self report, and it may be helpful to get a best friend or trusted other who knows you very well like a spiritual director, a therapist, a life partner to rate their perception of the presence of these factors in your life as well.
Once a rating has been identified, this is your baseline. The next question is how can you kick it up a notch over coming months or year?
You can use this model right now to rate your level of spiritual health. Let's say over the last six months to what extent has each component been present in your life?
After you give yourself a rating on each component determine one component you'd like to work on for the next month or so and make a plan to practice. Start small, review frequently, learn as you go, and re-rate in a month's time.
In subsequent articles we will provide more detailed descriptions of each component and ideas for improvement.
 1. Truly helpful. It's a wonderful model you are developing. As I picked an indicator like peace and joy, over the last six months I gave myself a 3 especially with the Covid-19 stuff, impeachment, police murders of black citizens, political corruption, etc. How do I not let these things destroy my peace and joy?
 2. The United States is one of the most spiritually sick nations on earth. Its inequality, racism, materialism, unrestrained military might, and unjust criminal justice system make it evil.
 The fact that they would elect a psychopath like Donald Trump and tolerate and enable his moral turpetude tells you a lot about the spiritual health of the country.

In the electromagnetic field computation in consideration of nonlinear magnetic anisotropy, the solution by the Newton-Raphson method has some problems which are an asymmetric matrix and poor convergence characteristic. We applied the Fixed-Point method to the electromagnetic field computation in consideration of nonlinear magnetic anisotropy and examined the usefulness of the Fixed-Point method through comparing the Fixed-Point method with the ordinary Newton-Raphson method. The Fixed-Point method with a symmetric matrix is quite faster than the Newton-Raphson method with an asymmetric matrix. Therefore, the Fixed-Point method is a very useful technique in nonlinear magnetic anisotropy problems.

Definition of ancient lights in English:
plural noun[treated as singular] English Law
- On the other hand, the Court ought to be very careful not to allow an action for the protection of ancient lights to be used as a means of extorting money.
- Tom associates England with 'ancient lights', a phrase that for him resonates with the mythic and the mystic.
- The very settled approach in the United States is to reject such claims (England has a doctrine of ancient lights which was firmly rejected here).
mid 18th century: from lights meaning 'light from the sky'. In England the sign 'Ancient Lights' was often placed on a house, adjacent to a site where a high building might be erected.

Who is Competent to Contract? State the Position of Contracts with a Minor.
According to Section 11 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, Every person is competent to contract who is of the age of majority according to the law to which he is subject, and who is of sound mind, and is not disqualified from contracting by any law to which he is subject. The three tests namely, age, soundness and disqualification need to be applied to determine whether a person is competent to contract or not. This is further summarized as follows:
According to Section 3 of the Indian Majority Act, a person is deemed to have attained majority (a) when he completes 18 years or (b) where a guardian of person or property or both has been appointed by a Court of Law,(or where his property has passed under the superintendence of the Court of Wards), lie attains majority on completion of 21 years, According to Section 12 of the Indian Contract Act, A person is said to be of sound mind for the purpose of making a contract, if at the time when he makes it, is capable
- To understand the terms of the contract,
- To form a rational judgement as to its effect upon his interests.
A person may be disqualified from contracting if a person is not capable of both of the above is said to have suffered from unsoundness of mind. Some of the examples of persons having an unsound mind include the following:
- Idiots: A person who is permanently of unsound mind.
- Lunatic: A person who is mentally deranged due to some mental strain or other personal experience but who has some lucid intervals of sound mind.
- Drunken Persons: A sane person who is delirious from fever or who is so drunk that he cannot understand the terms of contract or form a rational judgement as to its effects on his interest.
Position of Agreements with a Minor:
As mentioned above, a minor is not competent to contract therefore, the law acts as the guardian of minors and protects their rights because they are not mature and may not posses the capacity to judge what is good and what is bad for them. Therefore, a minor is not liable for any promises made by him under an agreement.
A contract with or by a minor is absolutely void and the minor therefore cannot bind himself by a contract. It was held by The Privy Council that a minor's agreement is altogether void in the case of Mohan v. Rajkumar. Where Rajkumara minor borrowed from by executing a mortgage of his property in favor of Mohan.
Later on, Rajkumar sued for settling aside the mortgage. According to Section 10 and 11 of the Indian Contract Act it was held that the minor's agreement void and therefore the mortgage were not valid. It was held that the money advanced to minor cannot be recovered because minor's agreement was void.
Fraudulent representation by a minor:
According to Section 30 and 33 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, in case of a fraudulent misrepresentation of his age by the minor inducing the other party to he enter into a contract, the court may provide for the compensation to the other party. As in the case of Khan v. Singh, it was held by the Lahore High Court that, where the contract is set aside, the status quo ante should be restored and the court may direct the minor on equitable grounds restore the money or the property to the other party if the money or property could be traced.
Ratification of a contract by a minor on attaining the age of majority:
A minor's agreement is void-ab-initio therefore, an agreement with a minor cannot be ratified even after he attains majority. In the case of Ramgopal v. Sudhire, it was held that a person gave a promissory note in satisfaction of one executed by him for money borrowed when he was a minor. It was held by the court that the claim under the promissory note could note be enforced because there was no consideration.
Minor's contract jointly with a major person:
The agreement made by a minor jointly with a major person is treated as a void contract vis-a-vis a minor however, which can be enforced against the major person who has jointly promised to perform.
Minor as a partner:
A minor cannot become a partner in a partnership firm. According to Section 30 of the Indian Partnership Act 1932, a minor may with the consent of all the partners for the time being, admitted to the benefits of the partnership. It can also be added that, he can share the profits without incurring any personal liability for losses.
Minor as an agent:
A minor can act as an agent and bind his principal by his acts without incurring any personal liability.
Minor as a shareholder:
As per the provisions of the Indian Contract Act and the Privy Council's decision, a minor cannot become a member of the company. However, a minor can become a shareholder or member of a Company if (a) the shares are fully paid up and (b) the articles of association do not prohibit so.
Minor as an insolvent:
A minor cannot be declared insolvent because he is incapable of contracting debts, that is, he is not competent to contract.

BACKGROUND Rib fractures (RFx) remain the most prevalent injury in an elderly population that will increase from 40 to 81 million for the next 30 years. We sought to create an accurate cost-effective algorithm to triage elderly patients with RFx that accounted for both frailty and trauma burden. METHODS Retrospective analysis evaluated 400 patients older than 55 years with RFx admitted to a level 1 trauma center from 2007 to 2012. Comorbidities included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, tobacco use, obesity, and nutrition and functional status. Trauma burden included RFx, tube thoracostomy, pulmonary contusions, and spine and extremity fractures. Patients with Glasgow Coma Scale scores lower than 13, thoracoabdominal surgery, or deaths from other causes were excluded. Comparative analysis used bivariate and logistic regression. Variables contributing to intubation (INT) and pneumonia (PNA) were then used to create a scoring system to predict the need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission. RESULTS Six variables increased the risk for INT or PNA: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, low albumin, assisted status, tube thoracostomy, Injury Severity Score, and RFx (p < 0.05). These six variables and congestive heart failure (odds ratio, 1.9; p = 0.06) were used to create a predictive model with the following scores assigned respectively: 1.4, 1.1, 1, 0.9, 0.1(n), 0.1(n), and 0.6. A score lower than 3.7 had a sensitivity and specificity of 78.5% and 78.9%. The negative predictive value was 94.5% for INT or PNA, suggesting a low risk for ICU requirement. Ninety-two ICU admissions had a score lower than 3.7. Forty had no other indication for ICU admission aside from RFx. These patients had an average ICU length of stay of 1.7 days, resulting in an increased cost of $2,200 per patient. CONCLUSION A scoring system combining frailty and trauma burden may provide more accurate and cost-effective triage of the elderly trauma patient with RFx. Further prospective studies are required to verify our scoring system. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic and epidemiologic study, level III.

Ask Mr. Smarty Plants
Smoking mint instead of tobacco from Fairfield CA
Author: Barbara Medford
Date: Saturday - March 23, 2013
From: Fairfield, CA
QUESTION: I realize this is a stupid question, but i am a little curious about this. Anyway I heard more people are smoking mint leaves to help cure their addiction to tobacco and i was wondering if it is safe? I know that smoking in general is bad, but i want to know if there is anything specific in mint that can harm the lungs.
There are several reasons why this question falls out of Mr. Smarty Plant's expertise. Our focus is on the growth, propagation and protection of plants native not only to North America but to the area in which those plants grow naturally. There are170 plants in the Lamiaceae (mint) family native to North America, but you are probably asking about the mints native to the Meditteranean area of Europe, widely used for fragrance and food flavoring. So that's the first reason we wouldn't be able to answer questions about smoking it. The second reason is that our first name is "Smarty," which precludes our making any comment at all on the wisdom of sticking any burning plant in our mouth and inhaling the fumes.

News media as corporate governance watchdogs
This source preferred by Donald Nordberg
Authors: Nordberg, D.
Start date: 10 September 2013
How do news organizations shape development of regulative measures in corporate governance? The press is often called the Fourth Estate, an acknowledgement of the quasi-regulatory role it plays in investigating and bringing to public attention malfeasance and misdemeanours in public and business life. Recurrent corporate governance problems have raised questions about how well the news media perform this watchdog role, less well understood is how the role they play in framing the debate itself. News organizations respond to the terms in which a debate is cast, but on retelling some aspects of the story can be amplified and others suppressed. So, this project asks, to what extent is our understanding of what corporate practice is legitimate influenced by the terms in which the debate is cast and projected in the press? How has this framing shaped the way we discuss corporate governance and then turn it into policy and practice? This developmental paper sketches a project to undertake such an analysis on a comparative basis, looking at field-configuring events in the US, UK and Germany to track how the vocabulary of corporate governance has developed in the press, and how it does or does not differ from other conceptions of what good governance entails.


Standing waves in Bohr's atomic model
The purpose of this demonstration is to give some insight on Bohr's atomic model and to symbolically and visually show how a wave, following a circular closed path, can stand still.
This requirement (standing waves) brings forth the quantization condition for the allowed orbital radii in Bohr's atomic model.
A standing wave (n integer in the demonstration) interferes constructively with itself and doesn't show any apparent movement (so there's no acceleration, no electromagnetic emitted radiation and no loss of energy).
On the contrary, if the wave is not a standing wave (n not integer in the demonstration) there's destructive interference and movement (so there's acceleration, radiation, loss of energy and no possible stable orbit).

Usage of the controls
The main controls are the time slider and the n (number of wavelengths in the circle) slider.
For the time there are two possible modes: finite time range and infinite time. In the first mode it's possible to move manually the slider. To make increasingly finer adjustment to the wave progress it's possible to press the Alt key or Ctrl+Alt or Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys while moving the time slider. Alternatively it's possible to play the animation with the slider animation controls. In this case the cycle will restart after reaching the maximum time value. This maximum time value can be changed through the Finite time duration slider that operates on multiple integers values of 12 \pi (six full cycles). The second mode (infinite time) can be started by pressing the Start button below the time slider. In this mode the time will go on forever and it's no more possible to manually move the time slider. It's however possible to revert the simulation to the finite time mode by pressing the reset button. The animation will stop and time will be reset at its initial value. In both modes it's possible to interactively change the n value (there's also an option to change this value to the nearest integer to make the wave a stable standing wave), the wave amplitude and the animation rate.
The problem and the solution
According to Rutherford's model the electron orbits around the nucleus like a planet around the sun. The problem was that an accelerated charge emits electromagnetic waves and, in doing so, loses energy. The unavoidable result would be an electron quickly collapsing in the nucleus.
To solve this problem Bohr's model (with the support of De Broglie's arguments) introduced the particle-wave duality: an electron behaves both as a particle and as a wave. Only specific discrete orbits are allowed.
But how does this bold hypothesis solve Rutherford's problem? Be the electron wave, be it particle or be it a mix of both, come what may, that doesn't actually change the fact that it must have some energy, some movement to counterbalance the attractive electric force. Even as a wave the electron should orbit around the proton and have an acceleration, and that cannot be. So it must have energy and it must stand… something like a wave (has energy) that stands still… How can it be?
… but there's a possible solution …
A standing wave
It's a wave so it has energy, yet it stands still. That should be the possible answer, the way to go.
Another way to bring forth the same underlying concept (more physically correct but more difficult to be visually represented ) is that a non standing wave would interfere with itself destructively.
On the other hand a standing wave always interfere constructively with itself and that makes it exist as a physical entity (and makes it stay alive).
But how does an electron know which way to go around the nucleus?
Following Feynman's way of reasoning we could think that it actually goes all ways through all possible paths and orbits. But along the paths where there's destructive interference there's no resulting wave, so no "real" electron left, no physical entity and no possible path/orbit. Just a faint theoretical ghost that cannot surface the boundary between nothingness and the dimension of a physical measurable reality.
Historical notes: Bohr's and De Broglie's contributions
Niels Bohr elaborated his atomic model in the years _PHONE_. He found out the quantization condition of angular momentum just because that was necessary to account for the experimental data (and for the Balmer's formula of spectral lines). He also followed, with great ingenuity, pure dimensional arguments. But he himself was aware that his model didn't explain anything.
It was only in 1924 that Louis De Broglie reached a deeper and wider perception of what was behind Bohr's quantization condition of angular momentum: the wave nature of the electron in a stable state and the standing wave condition.
The standing wave condition gives an elegant and deeper reason to Bohr's (unexplained) quantization formula of the electron angular momentum.
With De Broglie's contribution the Bohr's model became more meaningful: a fresh starting point towards a new paradigm and towards a better understanding of the basic principles of the early quantum mechanics theory.
Notes about the cdf demonstration
In this demonstration the Bohr's model is applied to a single electron orbiting around a single proton (hydrogen atom). The number n (number of wavelengths in a complete circular orbit) is connected with the possible orbital radii and with the possible energy levels. The stable states are only the ones associated with an integer value of n. The standing wave condition is \lambda n=2 \pi r (with n integer). In this model the main formulas for the possible orbital radii (r_n), orbital speeds (v_n), orbital periods (T_n) and energy levels (E_n) are:
 \[r_n=\frac{n^2 \left(h^2 \epsilon _0\right)}{\pi e^2 m_e}; \ \ \ \ \ v_n=\frac{e^2}{n \left(2 h \epsilon _0\right)}; \ \ \ \ \ T_n=\frac{n^3 \left(4 h^3 \epsilon _0^2\right)}{e^4 m_e}; \ \ \ \ \ E_n=-\frac{e^4 m_e}{n^2 \left(8 h^2 \epsilon _0^2\right)};\]
The time unit used in the demonstration (in the main slider) is a symbolic one, only proportional to the actual physical time \tau. For convenience here t is just the angle spanned by the wave front (t=\alpha (\tau)) so that the orbital period (T) is just 2\pi. The formula to convert this time unit (t) to the real one (\tau) is:
 \[\tau =\frac{n^3 t \left(4 h^3 \epsilon _0^2\right)}{(2 \pi ) \left(e^4 m_e\right)}\]
By changing the value of n also the orbital radius should change accordingly. This is not presented in the simulation as it's out of its scope (there is just a qualitative change in the blue disk size, symbolically representing the nucleus, to evoke a change of scale).
In this simulation the wave is traced only for a limited time span (3 periods) and it fades away with time within this interval. This is just an artifice to emphasize the wave movement in case of non standing waves.
In the case of not standing waves (not physically possible) occurring when n is not an integer number, the wave seems to move around with a speed that is different from the speed of the wave front. It's slower when n approaches an integer number and when n is higher. It can be shown that the absolute value of the wave speed v_w (with respect of the front speed v) goes like v_w=\frac{v \left| \text{Round}[n]-n\right| }{\text{Round}[n]}. Its local maximum values occur when n=k+\frac{1}{2} with k=1,2,3,\text{...} and there are discontinuities around these special values. The maximum wave speed occurs n=1.5 where v_w=\frac{v}{2}.
Maybe there is some connection between this relationship and the phase velocity/group velocity relationship of wave mechanics but I didn't investigate it further.

Southern Italy has Watchtowers all along the coast line. Watch the video below for the story about these towers:
Title: Italy – Watchtowers in Southern Italy
Countries: Southern Italy
What are Watchtowers? They are towers usually built of stone high enough to be seen by the next tower along the coast. When Saracens (pirates) were spotted, they would light a fire in the tower to warn everyone along the coast. The next tower would see it and light theirs and so on along the entire coastline. You might say this was the Internet of their time. Some towers had a bell as well that was rung to warn locals of the pirates coming.
The locals would gather their families and valuables and head to their sister town usually high up on a hill. These towns were fortified castle like structures that prevented the pirates from entering.


The German government is not in favour of allowing its former federal intelligence chief to publish his book, citing multiple reasons for blocking publication.
Germany is likely to ban the upcoming memoir written by former president of its foreign intelligence service Gerhard Schindler, according to an investigative report published by a government-run news website, Tagesschau.
The decision was reportedly made by the Federal Chancellery (Bundeskanzleramt), which is headed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
For the government, the book conflicts with the interests of Germany's intelligence services and sets the wrong precedent for other former spies to share their own experiences in the field, which can potentially impact the country's foreign policy.
Although the government maintains that Schindler's memoirs do not contain any state secrets, after nearly two years of examining the book, the Merkel administration refused to approve it for publication, keeping it under lock and key.
According to Tagesschau, the book carries some interesting insights into Schindler's time as the head of Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), the federal intelligence service. There are passages revealing how the German government had a meeting between Schindler and the Pakistani secret service ISI cancelled. And how he was happy to hand over gifts to leaders and influential people from the Arab states, gifts like small daggers forged from the steel of the Tirpitz, a battleship sunk during World War II.
The Merkel administration sees Schindler's memoirs as "a clear violation" of secrecy. It also fears, as per Tagesschau, that if Schindler's account is allowed to be made public, the other former domestic spy chief Hans-Georg Maassen, who was sacked from his job in November 2018, will feel emboldened to write his own book and use it as a political tool, since he has joined active politics.
Tagesschau's investigation is largely based on one source in the Merkel administration, who apparently has had access to the book's contents. The Federal Chancellery, headed by Merkel, criticised Shindler for giving away too much information about the inner working of the German intelligence agency, including "its methodology, and (foreign intelligence services), organisation and decision-making processes". The government has commented on the manuscript, highlighting some of the passages describing Schindler's meetings with other intelligence officers, while deleting other contentious parts.
The Chancellor's Office and the Federal Ministry of the Interior are also said to have considered issuing a decree banning such publications from official life. In the end, it was decided that the practice can continue but only after a proper vetting.
Schindler's memoir was under the government's review for over two years. In August 2018, he formally asked Merkel-led Chancellery to have his book draft examined. First, it had to go through the BND to ensure there were no possible breaches of secrecy. Subsequently, the Chancellor's Office went through Schindler's manuscript under the criteria of the Civil Service Act and the confidentiality obligations anchored therein. By November 2019, the examination in the Chancellor's Office was completed. The results were reported to the former head of the BND in mid-December.
According to this information, Schindler himself then suggested to the Chancellor's Office that he would revise his book and present a more "strategic" work. Since the revised version is not yet available, the examination procedure continues.
According to media reports, the former head of the BND himself did not want to comment on the matter. "Oh, please, I don't want to comment," he said on the phone.
Schindler headed the BND from 2011 until his dismissal in June 2016. Against Schindler's will, the German Chancellery ordered him to take temporary retirement over the controversy that linked him with the worldwide data snooping by the US National Security Agency and his own bugging campaigns against friendly states.

In Toronto, a series of recent stabbings has raised concerns about knife violence. One question that people often ask is how assailants conceal the knife – at least enough to get close to a victim. Knives, after all, are close to medium range weapons that require the attacker to close distance and, in many cases, surprise the victim.
Here are 6 ways an attacker might conceal his weapon.
1. Covered. A person can use a jacket, sweater, even a rolled newspaper magazine or newspaper to conceal a sharp weapon. It is very inconspicuous and allows the attacker to get close to victims without arousing suspicion.
2. Behind His Back. This is more conspicuous as it is a less natural position and usually happens when they are concealing something.
3. Behind his leg. Not as obvious as behind the back but seeing a man approach with a straight arm should around suspicion. People usually move their arms when they walk.
4. Arms are crossed. This can be difficult to detect as it is a natural position and can easily conceal a smaller weapon.
5. Knife in Palm. Hand on the side, fingers facing down, the back of their hand facing you so you cannot see what is in the palm of their hand. It is not a natural position and should evoke suspicion and caution.
6. Bag/backpack/pocket. He approaches, gym bag over his shoulder, reaches in and pulls out a knife. It takes him longer to access the weapon but since people are often carrying bags, he is not attracting attention. Reaching in his pocket is not in itself alarming but consider the context. What if he is walking quickly towards you?
It is worthwhile, and unsettling, to watch footage of assaults with sharp objects. Watch the attacker's hands before the attack and note where they are. Also, when training, have your partner adapt some of these positions and learn to identify them quickly and to defend if they can close distance and deploy the weapon.
Be the first to comment.

In this paper, a systematic group contribution based framework is presented for synthesis of process flowsheets from a given set of input and output specifications. Analogous to the group contribution methods developed for molecular design, the framework employs process groups to represent different unit operations in the system. Feasible flowsheet configurations are generated using efficient combinatorial algorithms and the performance of each candidate flowsheet is evaluated using a set of flowsheet properties. A systematic notation system called SFILES is used to store the structural information of each flowsheet to minimize the computational load and information storage. The design variables for the selected flowsheet(s) are identified through a reverse simulation approach and are used as initial estimates for rigorous simulation to verify the feasibility and performance of the design.

Ordered Trees
An ordered tree is an oriented tree in which the children of a node are somehow "ordered."
If T1 and T2 are ordered trees then T1 ≠ T2 else T1 = T2.
Types of Ordered Trees
There are several types of ordered trees:
Fibonoacci Trees
A Fibonacci Tree (Fk) is defined by
Exercise: Draw the trees F0 through F5.
Binomial Trees
The Binomial Tree (Bk) consists of a node with k children. The first child is the root of a Bk-1 tree, the second is the root of a Bk-2 tree, etc.
Exercise: Draw the trees B0 through B5.
k-ary Trees
A k-ary tree is a tree in which the chilren of a node appear at distinct index positions in 0..k-1. This means the maximum number of children for a node is k.
Some k-ary trees have special names
You have to draw k-ary trees carefully. In a binary tree, if a node has one child, you can't draw a vertical line from the parent to the child. Every child in a binary tree is either a left or a right child; that must be made clear.
Representations of k-ary Trees
Since the subtrees of a node are both indexed and bounded, we can use an array for them. Here is an example for a 4-ary tree:
class Node {
 private Object data;
 private Node[] children;
You can also use an array for the whole tree
1 A
2 B
4 C
5 F
11 E
12 D
13 G
In a binary tree
In a k-ary tree
Exercise: Prove each of these statements.
Complete k-ary Trees
The array representation may waste a lot of space. The maximally space efficient k-ary tree is called a complete tree. A complete tree is completely filled out on every level, except perhaps on the last one, on which all we require is that all its nodes are "as far to the left as possible." Examples:
Complete trees can be packed into an array with no wasted space at all.
Perfect Trees
A perfect k-tree is a k-ary tree in which every node is either a 0-node or a k-node and all leaves are on the same level.
Perfect trees are sometimes called full trees, though some people say a full tree is just one in which every node is a 0-node or a k-node, without caring whether all leaves are on the same level or not.
The Size of k-ary Trees
For k = 2:
Level Nodes on
Nodes on levels
up to and
including this one
0 1 = 20 1 = 20+1–1
1 2 = 21 3 = 21+1–1
2 4 = 22 7 = 22+1–1
3 8 = 23 15 = 23+1–1
4 16 = 24 31 = 24+1–1
h 2h 2h+1–1
For arbitrary k:
Number of nodes on level h = kh, obviously
Let S(h) = the number of nodes in a perfect binary tree of height h. Let's find a closed form.
 S(h) = 1 + k + k2 + k3 +... + kh
 k × S(h) = k + k2 + k3 + k4 +... + kh+1
 k × S(h) - S(h) = kh+1-1
 (k-1) × S(h) = kh+1-1
 kh+1 - 1
 S(h) = ---------
 k - 1

Полные правила Magic: the Gathering
601.1 Previously, the action of casting a spell, or casting a card as a spell, was referred to on cards as "playing" that spell or that card. Cards that were printed with that text have received errata in the Oracle card reference so they now refer to "casting" that spell or that card.
601.1a Some effects still refer to "playing" a card. "Playing a card" means playing that card as a land or casting that card as a spell, whichever is appropriate.
601.2 To cast a spell is to take it from where it is (usually the hand), put it on the stack, and pay its costs, so that it will eventually resolve and have its effect. Casting a spell includes proposal of the spell (rules 601.2a–d) and determination and payment of costs (rules 601.2f–h). To cast a spell, a player follows the steps listed below, in order. A player must be legally allowed to cast the spell to begin this process (see rule 601.3), ignoring any effect that would prohibit that spell from being cast based on information determined during that spell's proposal. (Such effects are considered during the check detailed in rule 601.2e.) If, at any point during the casting of a spell, a player is unable to comply with any of the steps listed below, the casting of the spell is illegal; the game returns to the moment before the casting of that spell was proposed (see rule 720, "Handling Illegal Actions").
601.2a To propose the casting of a spell, a player first moves that card (or that copy of a card) from where it is to the stack. It becomes the topmost object on the stack. It has all the characteristics of the card (or the copy of a card) associated with it, and that player becomes its controller. The spell remains on the stack until it's countered, it resolves, or an effect moves it elsewhere.
601.2b If the spell is modal, the player announces the mode choice (see rule 700.2). If the player wishes to splice any cards onto the spell (see rule 702.46), he or she reveals those cards in his or her hand. If the spell has alternative or additional costs that will be paid as it's being cast such as buyback or kicker costs (see rules 117.8 and 117.9), the player announces his or her intentions to pay any or all of those costs (see rule 601.2f). A player can't apply two alternative methods of casting or two alternative costs to a single spell. If the spell has a variable cost that will be paid as it's being cast (such as an in its mana cost; see rule 107.3), the player announces the value of that variable. If the value of that variable is defined in the text of the spell by a choice that player would make later in the announcement or resolution of the spell, that player makes that choice at this time instead of that later time. If a cost that will be paid as the spell is being cast includes hybrid mana symbols, the player announces the nonhybrid equivalent cost he or she intends to pay. If a cost that will be paid as the spell is being cast includes Phyrexian mana symbols, the player announces whether he or she intends to pay 2 life or the corresponding colored mana cost for each of those symbols. Previously made choices (such as choosing to cast a spell with flashback from a graveyard or choosing to cast a creature with morph face down) may restrict the player's options when making these choices.
601.2c The player announces his or her choice of an appropriate player, object, or zone for each target the spell requires. A spell may require some targets only if an alternative or additional cost (such as a buyback or kicker cost), or a particular mode, was chosen for it; otherwise, the spell is cast as though it did not require those targets. If the spell has a variable number of targets, the player announces how many targets he or she will choose before he or she announces those targets. In some cases, the number of targets will be defined by the spell's text. Once the number of targets the spell has is determined, that number doesn't change, even if the information used to determine the number of targets does.The same target can't be chosen multiple times for any one instance of the word "target" on the spell. However, if the spell uses the word "target" in multiple places, the same object, player, or zone can be chosen once for each instance of the word "target" (as long as it fits the targeting criteria). If any effects say that an object or player must be chosen as a target, the player chooses targets so that he or she obeys the maximum possible number of such effects without violating any rules or effects that say that an object or player can't be chosen as a target. The chosen players, objects, and/or zones each become a target of that spell. (Any abilities that trigger when those players, objects, and/or zones become the target of a spell trigger at this point; they'll wait to be put on the stack until the spell has finished being cast.)
601.2d If the spell requires the player to divide or distribute an effect (such as damage or counters) among one or more targets, the player announces the division. Each of these targets must receive at least one of whatever is being divided.
601.2e The game checks to see if the proposed spell can legally be cast. If the proposed spell is illegal, the game returns to the moment before the casting of that spell was proposed(see rule 720, "Handling Illegal Actions").
601.2fThe player determines the total cost of the spell. Usually this is just the mana cost. Some spells have additional or alternative costs. Some effects may increase or reduce the cost to pay, or may provide other alternative costs. Costs may include paying mana, tapping permanents, sacrificing permanents, discarding cards, and so on. The total cost is the mana cost or alternative cost (as determined in rule 601.2b), plus all additional costs and cost increases, and minus all cost reductions. If multiple cost reductions apply, the player may apply them in any order. If the mana component of the total cost is reduced to nothing by cost reduction effects, it is considered to be. It can't be reduced to less than. Once the total cost is determined, any effects that directly affect the total cost are applied. Then the resulting total cost becomes "locked in." If effects would change the total cost after this time, they have no effect.
601.2g If the total cost includes a mana payment, the player then has a chance to activate mana abilities (see rule 605, "Mana Abilities"). Mana abilities must be activated before costs are paid.
601.2h The player pays the total cost in any order. Partial payments are not allowed. Unpayable costs can't be paid.
601.2i Once the steps described in 601.2a–h are completed, effects that modify the characteristics of the spell as it's cast are applied, thenthe spell becomes cast. Any abilities that trigger when a spell is cast or put onto the stack trigger at this time. If the spell's controller had priority before casting it, he or she gets priority.
601.3 A player can't begin to cast a spell unless a rule or effect allows that player to cast it. If that player is no longer allowed to cast that spell after completing its proposal, the casting of the spell is illegal and the game returns to the moment before the casting of that spell was proposed(see rule 720, "Handling Illegal Actions").
601.3a If an effect allows a player to cast a spell as though it had flash only if an alternative or additional cost is paid, that player may begin to cast that spell as though it had flash.
601.3b If an effect allows a player to cast a spell with certain characteristics as though it had flash, that player may consider any choices to be made during that spell's proposal that may cause it to have those characteristics. If any such choices could cause it to match these characteristics, that player may begin to cast that spell.
601.4 Some spells specify that one of their controller's opponents does something the controller would normally do while it's being cast, such as choose a mode or choose targets. In these cases, the opponent does so when the spell's controller normally would do so.
601.4a If there is more than one opponent who could make such a choice, the spell's controller decides which of those opponents will make the choice.
601.4b If the spell instructs its controller and another player to do something at the same time as the spell is being cast, the spell's controller goes first, then the other player. This is an exception to rule 101.4.
601.5 Casting a spell that alters costs won't affect spells and abilities that are already on the stack.

Brooks Instrument Mass Flow Control Technology Featured in Food Engineering Magazine
MFCs are used in a variety of food & beverage manufacturing processes to provide a measurable, continuous amount of gas to complete the recipe.
Al Harvey, Industrial Flow Specialist for Brooks Instrument, contributed to the article "Using Sensors to Improves Processes" in the February edition of Food Engineering.
HATFIELD, Pa. (February 18, 2021) In the February Tech Update of Food Engineering magazine, Wayne Labs authors, "Using Sensors to Improve Processes." Labs mentions how "there's a myriad of other sensing devices that you use in everyday products-from toys to dishwashers to automobiles." Sensors and controllers are even used in food and beverage operations to control the processes. "The food and beverage manufacturing applications that our MFCs focus on include ice cream, cheese, butter, yogurt, cell-based meat and the fermentation of beer and wine," says Al Harvey, industrial flow specialist. "Each application requires a measurable, continuous amount of air, carbon dioxide or other gasses to complete the recipes," he adds.
"A challenging food application using conventional sensors is the process of making ice cream," says Harvey. "Our MFCs inject measurable and repeatable amounts of air into the cream for it to reach a specific weight as well as a smooth and creamy look and texture. In conjunction with other devices, when cream is injected into cakes, our MFCs allow for consistency in the process so each cake has the same amount of cream."
Labs also adds, "In order to speed up the fermentation process of beer and wine, MFCs allow for a controlled and automated process to activate the yeast in order to make more recipes and maximize production. An oxygen sensor is used to provide feedback to the MFC to control the oxygen flow at peak level.
For its brewing process, Rahr Eagle Brewery wanted better control of its fermentation process. The brewery had been using variable area flowmeters to measure mechanically compressed air injection to increase oxygen content. However, the brewery wanted to use pure oxygen to activate the yeast—in which case precise sensing and control was needed." The brewery replaced variable area flow meters by installing a Brooks Instrument SLAMf mass flow controller with a NEMA4X/IP66 enclosure to precisely control and automate pure oxygen levels.

Why would you want to associate a value with an enum case? - a free tutorial
Paul Hudson _USER_
One of the most powerful features of Swift's enums is their ability to store one or more associated values – extra pieces of information that describe the enum case in more detail.
Associated values can be attached to every case, or only some cases. Plus, each case can have as many associated values as you want, as long as each one has a type.
For example, we might create a Weather enum with three cases:
enum Weather {
 case sunny
 case windy(speed: Int)
 case rainy(chance: Int, amount: Int)
That means our weather can be sunny, it can be windy, or it can be rainy. However, when it's windy we're also asking to store how fast the wind is as an integer – whether it's 10 kilometers per hour (kph), 20, 30, and so on. And when it's rainy, we're storing a percentage chance of the rain happening and a volume value, storing how much rain will store.
We could do something similar, but it would be pretty unpleasant. Imagine this:
enum Weather {
 case sunny
 case lightBreeze
 case aBitWindy
 case quiteBlusteryNow
 case nowThatsAStrongWind
 case thisIsSeriousNow
 case itsAHurricane
That gives us more ways to describe windy weather, but it's very imprecise – we've gone from being able to distinguish between a 10kph wind and a 15kph wind. Worse, if you hadn't seen the list ordered like it is above, would you know that aBitWindy was supposed to be stronger than lightBreeze but less strong than quiteBlusteryNow?
Now imagine trying to work with the rainy case, where we need to store two integers. We'd end up having to have cases that describe a low chance of light rain, a low chance of moderate rain, a low chance of heavy rain, a moderate chance of light rain, a moderate chance of moderate rain… well, you get the point.
So, enums with associated values let us add extra information to an enum case – think of them as being adjectives to a noun, because it lets us describe the thing in more detail.

Because the interface bond between the scale and the steel surface can be very different a proper descaling nozzle setup is of major importance to reach best descaling results. The setup of a descaling system includes nozzle parameters and the nozzle arrangement. Both have a major influence on the descaling factors, hence the descaling performances (illustration 2). The impact with which the descaling water impinges on the surface is the main criteria to measure the efficiency of a descaling nozzle; this is given in N/mm2.

Create Log When A Window Gets Focus in Windows
Editor Ratings:
User Ratings:
[Total: 0 Average: 0/5]
Window Focus Logger GUI is a free software to create a log when a window gets focus in Windows. That means whenever an application/window/program becomes an active application, its log is created which you can save for later use. The log contains different items like process name of window, date and time when the window gets focus, if keyboard focus was enabled for that application, if application UI was visible, and title of the window. You can create the record of all such items and then save these details as TXT file.
As its name indicates, it is the graphical version of its command line tool "Windows Focus Logger". This software lets you set a custom time (in minutes) for log creation and then you can minimize it to system tray. After that, whenever the focus is removed from some active application to another application, it creates the log each time including keyboard focus, user interface mode (true or false), the application which replaced the first application was off screen or on screen, etc.
Window Focus Loggerinterface
In the screenshot visible above, you can see its interface where it shows the list of all windows which got focus, its time and date, and other information. You can also select all the items, copy them to clipboard, and paste in Notepad like I did in the screenshot below. Once you get the list, you can save it as TXT file for later analysis.
information copied to notepad
How To Create Log When A Window Gets Focus In Windows?
Step 1: Download its zip file. You can do that using the link that I have added at the end of this review.
Step 2: Open the software interface by double-clicking its "WindowFocusLoggerGUI" application. Its interface will show a blank page unless you set the time to log windows. So, add Runtime (in minutes) by adding some value and then press Start button.
set runtime and start log creation process
Step 3: Now you can minimize it to the system tray and it will work silently. Whenever you move from one application to another or some background process/service will try to steal focus mode from the current application, the software will create a log for that.
You can stop the Runtime anytime or let it stop automatically when the timer is completed. After that, you can open its interface and you will see the record. In the record, you can see which application was running as the active window, which application came as next application window, if the application was visible on screen or it was off screen, if keyboard focus enabled for that application, date and time when the application became active application.
log created
To save all the details, copy them using Ctrl+A hotkey and paste it in Notepad++, Notepad, or somewhere else and create a text file.
You can also create log file for each process launched on PC.
The Conclusion:
This is helpful in case there is some hidden process or malicious application runs in the background without your knowledge which usually steals the focus from a particular window. Once you have the log, you can identify the application and then try to remove it from PC or take other actions.
Get this software.

Mac's and serial TTY's (Using usb to serial adapter with MAC)
It's not actually necessary to download an install extra software, as you can use the Mac OS X built in Terminal and screen. Screen lacks some features, but it does include VT100/ANSI terminal emulation, and can be extremely useful.
- Open an OS X terminal session (window)
- Find the right TTY device. Type:
With the USB-Serial adapter plugged in, you'll get a list, including something like this:
$ ls /dev/cu.* /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem /dev/cu.iPhone-WirelessiAP /dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync /dev/cu.usbserial
- Then type:
screen /dev/cu.usbserial 9600(in this example).
- The 9600 at the end is the baud rate. You can use any standard rate,
- eg, 9600, or 19200 for a Sig Server!
- To quit the screen app, type CTRL-A, then CTRL-.
man screen in Terminal for further information on screen. (use 'enter' or 'space' to scroll, and 'q' to quit).
