Dietary Comparison of Medieval Europe and 21st Century
in Relation to the Food Pyramid and the Six Nutrients of Life
Introduction: The students will take an inventory of their lives by keeping track of their daily food intake for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and any snacks in between for three days. They will also ask an adult to do the same survey for three days so that they can compare both surveys with the dietary intake of people of medieval Europe. The students will compare their results with what the food pyramid says they should eat and the six nutrients of life, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and water in order to see who is healthier Medieval Europeans or us today? This lesson should take about a week's span to survey their food intake, research the diet of Medieval Europe, and time to write up their results and conclusions.
Related History and Science/Health standards:
7th grade history standard that will encompass this lesson will be:
- 7.6.1- geography of Europe and Eurasia including vegetation and climate and the relationship to life.
7th grade Science Standard: (Investigation and Experimentation)
- 7.b. Use a variety of print and electronic resources (including the World Wide Web) to collect information and evidence as part of a research project
- 7c. Communicate the logical connection among hypotheses, science concepts, tests conducted, data collected, and conclusions drawn from the scientific evidence.
- 7e. Communicate the steps and results from an investigation in written reports and oral presentations.
7th grade Health guidelines:
- 5.1.N Use a decision-making process to evaluate daily food intake for nutritional requirements.
- 1.2.N Identify nutrients and their relationships to health.
- Report writing handout
- Food log or survey form x 2
- Computer lab – medieval research (websites)
- Medieval dietary handouts (see attached)
- Blank Food Pyramid (labeled) x 3
- Blank Food Pyramid (unlabeled)
- Venn diagram
- Six nutrients lecture notes
- Food Pyramid for display (see and handout)
Prior to the students getting to compare their diets to that of the people of medieval Europe the student are frontloaded in understanding the six essential nutrients of life, water, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, & carbohydrates. Also understanding the vocabulary terms they will use with the food pyramid information and what is required on a daily bases to ingest as guided by the food pyramid. Students must also be able to understand serving sizes like what the food pyramid is specifying. Once having that information in the students toolbox they will be prepared to extend the understanding of food through the analysis of what they eat and what people from the past to see who is healthier.
To do: copy all appropriate handouts before the lesson:
- Report writing handout
- Food log or survey form x 2 per student
- Medieval dietary handouts (see attached) per group
- Blank Food Pyramid s
- Venn Diagrams
Day # 1
- In the 1st day the best way to start this small unit is to put the students into small groups of about 3-4 in order to do a brainstorming session as to what food is needed to stay alive and why?
- After they try to figure out what is needed to stay alive they can be given a group copy of a blank food pyramid (unlabeled) to have them fill out with what they came up with previously. Students need use their prior knowledge to fill out the handout and really analyze what they think they should be eating before being told.
- As a group we share out what they came up with before going over the food pyramid and lecture notes on the six essential nutrients. In going over the food pyramid make sure the students understand proportion sizes, this will be important for the homework assignment food log survey.
- Lecture notes for six essential nutrients (see attached) and any food pyramid to go over. Visuals and hands on examples for EL students
- Explain to the students the Hw in which they write down for three days the food they are eating for breakfast, lunch, dinner & snacks along with the amounts or proportion sizes. The students will need to give the sheet for an adult in their lives to keep track for three days as well.
Day # 2
- Lecture notes are finished in class or can be printed and given to students.
- Go over day one of the food log survey to make sure they are filling it out correctly.
- Begin going to the computer lab to look up information on the diets of Medieval Europeans or handout can be given to the groups of 3-4 if no computers are available. The students will be given a blank food pyramid (labeled) to keep track of the food being eaten by the common people of medieval Europe to keep for their records and writing assignment. The EL & special ED students can also draw the pictures of some of the foods to help them remember the items. Once the pyramid is filled out, they can see what categories are missing and can try to figure out why those items are missing and where they could get those things through trade. STUDENT Homework or discussion questions—Why did the people of Medieval Europe have those categories missing as part of their diet? Was it due to geography, religion, achievements (lack of), politics, economics, or social structures (G.R.A.P.E.S.)?
Day # 3
- Second day of research of the medieval diet followed by a class discussion of the common findings.
- One thing you can do is having poster around the room with the food pyramid and giving post it™ notes so they can place the six essential nutrients of the correct posters along with the food items they found from the research they did. The EL & special ED students can also draw the pictures of some of the foods to help them remember the items.
- A gallery walk can be done with the students to see if the students agree with the placements of the items or they can leave a comments next to the post it™.
- Once the students complete the gallery walk and discussion can be done over the disagreements on the placement of some of the items.
Day # 4
- By day four the students should have the food log survey completed so they can also complete the blank food pyramid (labeled) from their data and the adult that they will analyze. STUDENT discussion questions, why did you and the adult you surveyed have those categories missing as part of their diet? Was it due to geography, religion, achievements (lack of), politics, economics, or social structures (G.R.A.P.E.S.)?
- Once the students have had time to analyze both their own and the adult's surveys, they can make a Venn Diagram (fig. 1) comparing both surveys to that of Medieval Europe.
- The Report writing handout and rubric can now be given, explained so they know how the write-up should be done and so they know how they will be graded.
Day # 5
- Class time can be given to start their rough drafts and to ask question of their group and to the teacher.
- What will be collected as part of the report:
o Lab write-up (typed or hand written)
- Both food log surveys (raw data)
- Discussion questions
- Food pyramids for their survey and adult
- Food pyramids for Medieval Europeans
- Venn Diagram comparison
- Before collecting the reports you have the students self score their work or trade with another student to score it before you.

I've been working towards packaging my domain logic at my current job so I can reuse it in multiple implementations. The code snippets below were an abandoned experiment for a php Laravel project. I have recently put together a simple way to build a query from an array.
So, instead of something like this:
$post = Post::isPublished()
 ->where('id', $id)
I create an array ['isPublished', 'id' => $id] that is passed to a function defined in a trait.
protected function buildQuery(array $attributes)
 if (count($attributes) == 0) {
 $query = (new $this->model);
 foreach ($attributes as $key => $value) {
 $method_name = camel_case(!is_numeric($key)? $key : $value);
 $scope_method_name = camel_case('scope'.$method_name);
 // Call a local scope method on the model or resume
 // with normal where equals clause.
 if (method_exists($this->model, $scope_method_name)) {
 $query = call_user_func([$query, $method_name], $value);
 } else {
 $query = $query->where($key, $value);
 return $query;
This then allows me to call local scopes and also have a default functionality of $query->where('column', $value) if not using a local scope. The resulting call could look something like...
$attributes = [
 'id' => $id
$post = $this->posts
At the end of the day, an ORM is your friend. So in this case, I still end up using Eloquent over this.


Locations
A location is the relation between a soil profile and an Ident of the pipeline project. Once a soil profile gets assigned to a place on the pipeline, all necessary information should be available for calculation of the soil mechanical values at that point.
One can assign a soil profile as continuous to a specific Ident or discontinuous. For a discontinuous assignment one can assign a soil profile up to the Ident and one just after the Ident.

Enable or disable the properties of a command-queue.
cl_int clSetCommandQueueProperty( cl_command_queue command_queue,
 cl_command_queue_properties properties,
 cl_bool enable,
 cl_command_queue_properties *old_properties)
Specifies the command-queue being queried.
Specifies the new command-queue properties to be applied to command_queue. Only command-queue properties specified for clCreateCommandQueue can be set in properties; otherwise the value specified in properties is considered to be not valid.
Determines whether the values specified by properties are enabled (if enable is CL_TRUE) or disabled (if enable is CL_FALSE) for the command-queue. The allowed property values are the same as those specified for clCreateCommandQueue.
Returns the command-queue properties before they were changed by clSetCommandQueueProperty. If old_properties is NULL, it is ignored.
As specified for clCreateCommandQueue, the CL_QUEUE_OUT_OF_ORDER_EXEC_MODE_ENABLE command-queue property determines whether the commands in a command-queue are executed in-order or out-of-order. Changing this command-queue property will cause the OpenCL implementation to block until all previously queued commands in command_queue have completed. This can be an expensive operation and therefore changes to the CL_QUEUE_OUT_OF_ORDER_EXEC_MODE_ENABLE property should be only done when absolutely necessary.
It is possible that a device(s) becomes unavailable after a context and command-queues that use this device(s) have been created and commands have been queued to command-queues. In this case the behavior of OpenCL API calls that use this context (and command-queues) are considered to be implementation-defined. The user callback function, if specified when the context is created, can be used to record appropriate information in the errinfo, private_info arguments passed to the callback function when the device becomes unavailable.
Returns CL_SUCCESS if the command-queue properties are successfully updated. Otherwise, it returns the following:
 - Returns CL_INVALID_COMMAND_QUEUE if command_queue is not a valid command-queue.
 - Returns CL_INVALID_VALUE if the values specified in properties are not valid.
 - Returns CL_INVALID_QUEUE_PROPERTIES if the values specified in properties are not supported by the device.

Unfortunately, as data links on corporate networks have increased to saturation, more information is being missed and even though corporations have spent heavily acquiring loud, power hungry devices to monitor their networks. A more power efficient solution, which consumes less electricity, yet provides the same or better packet inspection is an obvious solution.. This paper discusses a possible solution using a cluster of Raspberry Pis, a credit card sized computer valued at AUD$40 each. These tiny devices (whilst individually are limited in power and bandwidth) can be clustered together with economic benefits. This multi-GPU environment can inspect more data and therefore log more information for investigators. Overall it offers easier maintenance and therefore can be kept up to date easier. Finally clustering many of these devices may provide corporations with a better understanding as to what is occurring on their networks at a cheaper on-going cost.

Ballitore is situated between Kilcullen and Castledermot, just off the N 9. As you enter the village of Ballitore turn left in the centre square – the Meeting House is about 200 metres on the right.
Meeting for Worship takes place every Sunday at 11 am.
Ballitore Meeting is part of Co Wexford Monthly Meeting.
In 1685 two Quakers decided to settle beside the Griese river, and the story of Ballitore began. They built wool and flour mills, and over the next two centuries more Quakers settled and developed what became known as the "Quaker" village.
In 1726 Abraham Shackleton started the famous school which lasted for over a century and that numbered Edmund Burke, Paul (later Cardinal) Cullen and Napper Tandy among its pupils. Last century the village went into decline, but twenty years ago saw the start of its revival, and now it is once again attractive, with the old Meeting House refurbished, and Mary Leadbeater's house rebuilt and housing the Library and a small Quaker museum. The museum is open during the week, and also on Sundays from June to September between 2pm and 6pm.
Four kilometres south of Ballitore, in Moone, there is one of the most delightful large stone High Crosses in Ireland. It has unusually good carvings of biblical scenes. In summer one can go to Meeting for Worship, then visit Moone, have a picnic, and return to the museum in the afternoon.

text: - We investigate the effects of weakly and strongly stratified turbulent convection on the mean effective Lorentz force, and especially on the mean effective magnetic pressure. Earlier studies with isotropically forced non-stratified and stratified turbulence have shown that the contribution of the turbulence to the mean magnetic pressure is negative for mean horizontal magnetic fields that are smaller than the equipartition strength, so that the effective mean magnetic pressure that takes into account the turbulence effects can be negative. Compared with earlier cases of forced turbulence with an isothermal equation of state, we find that the turbulence effect is similar to or even stronger in the present case of turbulent convection. This is argued to be due to the anisotropy of turbulence in the vertical direction. Another important difference compared with earlier studies is the presence of an evolution equation for the specific entropy. Mean-field modelling with entropy evolution indicates that the negative effective magnetic pressure can still lead to a large-scale instability which forms local flux concentrations, even though the specific entropy evolution tends to have a stabilizing effect when applied to a stably stratified (e.g. isothermal) layer. It is argued that this large-scale instability could be important for the formation of solar large-scale magnetic structures such as active regions.


Volvo Redblock Engine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 (Redirected from Volvo B21 engine)
Jump to: navigation, search
B234F Red Block in a 740 GLE
The Volvo B21 was a slant straight-4 engine first used in the Volvo 200 series, meant to replace the B20. The B21 and all derived engines are often referred to as red block engines for the red paint applied to the block. The primary differences when compared to the B20 was the switch to a SOHC in place of the older pushrod configuration, and an aluminum crossflow cylinder head versus the iron head of the B20.
Initially the overhead camshaft versions were offered as optional equipment on the 240, becoming standard in all markets by the 1976 model year. The overhead camshaft motors were available in displacements of 2.0 (B19 and B200), 2.1 (B21), and eventually 2.3 (B23 and B230) litres. The B21 featured an 80 mm (3.1 in) stroke, and 92 mm (3.6 in) bore. In the US, the B21's power output ranged anywhere between 98 hp (73 kW) and 107 hp (73 to 80 kW), based on variations in the compression ratio and was typically supplied with a B or M camshaft.
The engines are tilted approx 15 degrees to left (exhaust side) to make room for the more complicated injection systems. B19 and B21 blocks can be identified by water plugs on one side of the block. The B23 blocks have them on both sides. The camshaft is driven by a toothed belt that is driven off the front of the crankshaft. The belt turns the intermediate shaft as well, which in turn drives the oil pump, distributor (on 240 engines and BXX 700/900 series engines) and the fuel pump of carburetor models.
In 1981 the B21FT, a B21F with a turbo, was introduced with a compression ratio of 7.5:1 mated with a Garrett T3 turbocharger and a T camshaft. Additional turbo variants, not offered in the US market, were the B19ET and the B21ET, based on the B19E and B21E respectively. The turbocharger increased power output to 127 hp (91 kW) for the B21FT, and 157 hp (115 kW) for the B21ET. Also new for the 1981 model year was the B23, with a displacement of 2.3 litres (80 mm stroke and 96 mm (3.8 in) bore). Aside from the increased bore size, the engine is identical to the B21. Volvo used a slightly different mold for the turbo engines to cast a boss for the turbo oil return line. Because a turbocharged engine has a higher operating temperature they used sodium filled exhaust valves and a thermostat controlled oil cooler (air/oil model).
In 1983 the B23 was introduced to the American market. Also introduced in 1983, the "intercooler boost system" (IBS) was introduced for the B21FT motors. The IBS kit consisted of an intercooler, appropriate ducting, a new fan shroud, new oil cooler lines and mounting brackets, and optionally an automatic transmission kit. IBS raised the output of the B21FT to 162 hp (121 kW), slightly more than the non intercooled European market B21ET's 157 hp (117 kW).
Midway through the 1984 model year, the "intercooler boost system" became standard on American 240 Turbos. Additionally a bigger clutch and a stepped flywheel were included.
The B200 amongst others powered the Volvo 360.
In 1985 a revised, "low friction" design was introduced, dubbed the B200 and B230 (depending on displacement). Several components had design changes, longer rods (152 mm c-c, 7 mm (0.3 in) longer), pistons with a lower compression height, lower friction bearings (smaller in size), a crankshaft with 8 counterweights (instead of 4 on the older Bxx engines) and a heavy harmonic balancer in the crank pulley. 1989 saw an upgrade to the crankshaft, with a relocated axial thrust bearing back to the number 5 journal, bigger main bearings, rods were enlarged to 13 mm (0.5 in) from 9 mm (0.4 in) in 1990. Also introduced in 1989 were 16 valve, twin-cam variants of the B200 and B230, dubbed the B204 and B234 respectively. The B204 was also available in turbo form in some markets (such as Italy) where large displacement motors were taxed heavily. It came in two versions: The B204GT turbo motor operates with a lead resistant lambda probe and generates approximately 200 hp (149 kW). The B204FT has a catalytic converter and generates 185 hp (138 kW). Both were the first redblocks standard equipped with oil squirters for piston cooling. Crankshaft, conrods and pistons all forged. Exhaust valves were sodium filled for cooler operation. It has smaller valves and stiffer valve springs than n/a 16V. Crank torque is 290 N·m (210 lb·ft) at 2950 rpm for the GT, and 280 N·m (210 lb·ft) for the FT. Other differences from the normal 16V redblock engine are that it uses a remote mounted oil filter (Away from block on exhaust side engine mount) and a windage tray.
For the B230 engines 1993, piston cooling, oil squirting jets were added to help alleviate piston slap problems on the turbo motors. Another modification was to go from a square toothed timing belt set up to a round toothed timing belt setup which made for quieter belt running.
The last redblocks were made in 1998, when the 940 model was discontinued in Europe, although the 940 was discontinued in 1995 in North America.
Special versions[edit]
Special version for certain European export markets (e.g. Greece, Israel) with shorter stroke than the B19, 88.9 mm × 71.85 mm (3.5 in × 2.8 in) bore and stroke for 1,784 cc displacement.
B19 Turbo[edit]
The 1,986 cc 136 PS (100 kW) B19ET was sold in certain markets where engines of over 2 litre displacement were heavily taxed, such as Italy. The engine has the same stroke as all other redblocks, the smaller displacement is the result of a smaller bore (88.9 x 80.0 mm). It is a very robust engine with forged pistons (made by Kolbenschmidt).[citation needed] The B19 later turned into the B200 low friction engine.
B23 Turbo[edit]
The B23ET and B23FT motors were offered for two years only in the 1983 and 1984 Volvo 700 and 200 series. Both the B23ET and B23FT are somewhat unique in the 700 series as they were the only turbo motors offered in the 700 series with a block mounted distributor, forged pistons and a forged crankshaft. The B23ET was the only redblock known to be equipped with a small coolant passage version of the higher flowing 405 cylinder head, the FT had to make do with normal 398 head. As these motors predate the low-friction B200 and B230 turbos and are equipped with forged pistons and crank, they are often considered one of the most robust Volvo turbo motors.
16 Valve Variants[edit]
B204GT in a Volvo 960
Introduced in 1989 for the 740 GLE (and later used in the 940/960), The 16-Valve Redblock motors were offered in both a 2.0 litre Turbo (B204FT/GT) and a 2.3 litre 154 hp Naturally aspirated version (B234F). The head was designed for Volvo by Porsche.[citation needed] In addition to the 16 Valve head, these motors were equipped with twin counter rotating external balance shafts and the engine block itself differs from the 8V redblock. The block differed from the standard B230 in that the auxiliary shaft (used to drive the oil pump and distributor on models that had block mounted distributors) was replaced with an external oil pump. The 16-Valve head was itself a completely new design for Volvo: The head was of a multi-piece design featuring a separate cam carrier and lower section. The later "white block" motors can trace their head design back to the two-piece setup found in the B204 and B234. The 2.0 litre turbo variant was introduced for European markets with tax structures tied to engine displacement such as Italy. Unique to the B204 turbo was an exhaust gas pyrometer which was used to detect excessively high exhaust temperatures. When excessively high exhaust temperatures were detected, the fuel injection computer would richen the mixture. It has a forged crankshaft, cast pistons, and 13 mm (0.5 in) connecting rods.
Although a powerful engine for its time, the 16 Valve engine can experience some problems that can be solved easily. One of the few problems is oil pump gear problems leading to broken timing belts. The oil pump gear


How many RPMs does a CD spin at?
It depends. The old phonograph records spun at a constant speed (for example, 33 or 45 revolutions per minute).
That made it easy to make a turntable to handle them, but it meant that the music recorded near the outside of the record had better sound than the music recorded on the inner grooves.
A CD solves this by varying its speed as it plays, so that the speed of the bumps below the laser beam always stays constant.
That means that as the CD begins playing, the music on the inside groove (yes, the album starts on the inside and works its way toward the outside) sounds as good as the music near the outside.
On the inside grooves, a CD spins at a rate of 200 revolutions per minute and gets as fast as 500 rpm as the laser beam approaches the outside edge.

 1. No, Outside edge has farther to go, so must spin faster to cover that distance. Think of an 800m running Track, outside lane gets a head start.
 2. How could the outside spin faster than the inside..
 RPM = Revolutions per minutes..
 Yes the outside might travel faster but it does "EXACTLY" the same number of revolutions per minute otherwise it wouldnt be a solid disc.
 3. The device has variable speed. As the laser nears the outer portion of the cd the device increases rpm. The cd does not spin at two speeds simultaneously.

This is a follow up question to my question yesterday Structural mechanics traction boundary condition question
Does a traction free boundary condition also mean that the displacement gradient is 0 where the boundary condition is applied? My thinking is that it does not because it seems you can have traction free (zero stress) surface with a non-zero displacement gradient.
The traction is defined as
$$ \mathbf{t} = \mathbf{n} \cdot \boldsymbol{\sigma} $$
In terms of components, the zero-traction condition is
$$ t_j = \sum_i n_i \sigma_{ij} = 0 $$
From the above you can see that the stress components don't necessarily have to be zero for the traction to be zero.
For a linear elastic material,
$$ \boldsymbol{\sigma} = \mathsf{C}:\nabla{\mathbf{u}} $$
In component form,
$$ \sigma_{ij} = \sum_k \sum_l C_{ijkl} \frac{\partial u_k}{\partial x_l} $$
Once again, since there is no requirement that all the $C_{ijkl}$ values have to be positive, you don't need all the displacement gradients to be zero for the stresses to be zero (which is not strictly necessary for zero-tractions anyway).
However, zero displacement gradients will lead to zero tractions.
 - $\begingroup$ Hmm. In my previous question, I concluded that traction free=stress free=free surface. Does traction free mean zero traction? Does stress free mean zero stress? If so, then doesn't this mean that traction free=zero stress? $\endgroup$ – David Jan 2 '18 at 22:22
 - $\begingroup$ Stress free = traction free but not vice versa. It's more intuitive if you think in terms of balance of forces on a small element. Note that the momentum PDE is typically defined on an open set; so there are some subtle issues here, e.g., St. Venant principle. $\endgroup$ – Biswajit Banerjee Jan 3 '18 at 0:38
 - $\begingroup$ Ahh got it. So then what is free surface? Is it zero stress? When I think of free surface, I think of the classical cantilever beam problem, where one end is fixed and the other surfaces are "free" $\endgroup$ – David Jan 3 '18 at 5:29
 - $\begingroup$ I believe these "free surfaces" exhibit zero stress (tangential and normal). $\endgroup$ – David Jan 3 '18 at 5:47

 $\begingroup$ _USER_ Yes, but just on that surface. $\endgroup$ – nicoguaro Jan 3 '18 at 18:22

Study of Viscosity and Friction Factor of Nano Drilling Fluids along with Torque and Drag Reduction
MetadataShow full item record
Energy industries have been taking advantages from the recent developments of nanotechnology. Several revolutionary changes can be made in drilling industry with the help of nanotechnology. It has a capability to produce such nanomaterials that can bring benefit to the industry in various manners such as improving the quality of mud cake, decreasing the frictional resistance in the well, minimizing the risk of pipe sticking, establishing borehole stability, preventing reservoir from formation damage, and augmenting the recovery of oil and gas. In the field of drilling fluids, researchers have tested the application of nanoparticles and have concluded with very promising results in terms of reduction in torque and drag, stabilizing the well bore, controlling fluid loss and improving hole cleaning efficiency. Use of the nanoparticles in reducing friction and improving lubrication effect has already been recognized in different industries. Drilling industry has moved towards exploiting reservoir in more economical ways such as drilling an extended reach well. These wells are quite challenging when it comes to solving down hole drilling problems such as high torque and drag. Lubrication efficiency of drilling fluids can play a decisive role in solving torque and drag problem. Although oil based drilling fluid offers reduced friction factor in the wellbore, environmental concerns and high expenditures can limit its usage. An alternate solution is to make the most of better lubrication efficiency of the nanoparticles by adding them in drilling fluid particularly to water base drilling fluids. This addition also has its impact on the rheological properties of drilling fluid which can affect its other function. By keeping this agenda in mind, different nanoparticles were added to drilling fluids at different concentrations and the impact on friction factor and viscosity was studied through tribometer and rheometer respectively. Graphene, carbon nanotubes, silica, alumina, cobalt and nickel nanoparticles were selected as potential particles and their effects were studied in three different base fluids. Temperature influence on tribology and rheology were also made part of the study. The reliability of test results was established by using Modular Compact Rheometer (MCR) for rheological measurements and Pin-on-Disc Tribometer for friction factor measurements. In addition to this, the impact of nanoparticles' addition on density and pH of drilling fluid was also evaluated and the results were used to ponder on the relationship between different properties of drilling fluid. Evaluation of viscosity and friction factor led to selection of the best nano drilling fluids which were further used in case study to develop temperature, viscosity, friction factor and torque and drag profile using software technology. The comparison of results between conventional drilling fluid and nano drilling fluids proves that nano drilling fluid can deliver better performance in terms of better bit cooling, enhanced viscous behavior, low friction factors, and reduced torque and drag.

Human Dignity Donation Box
Human Dignity Donation Box
Students have set up a "Human Dignity Donation Box" in the Commons at Sheil Catholic Center, Evanston. This box was designed as a means for Sheil students to connect with those experiencing homelessness in Evanston.
As you run errands in downtown Evanston, go to dinner with friends, or partake in other endeavors that draw you to a location where someone effected by homelessness tends to be, you are invited to consider bringing some of the goods in this box with you on the trip to offer to them. This is an opportunity to practice the ministry of presence: simply being with someone, in struggle and in community.
As Catholics, we are not only called to service, but Catholic social teaching tells us that every individual has a right to human dignity. As Catholics, we have a duty to ensure this is possible for all individuals. This box is meant to provide resources for students to actively engage in Catholic social teaching in our local community. It is also designed to be mainly student funded and student run. The Church blesses us with many gifts, and now we can take those gifts and transform them into new gifts for our community!
If you feel so called, please take some goods with you on your trip. If you don't feel comfortable with engaging someone directly, consider donating funds to keep the box stocked, perhaps forgoing that extra coffee this week and using those three dollars for service. You can donate by contacting Wioletta in Sheil's administrative office that is directly off the Commons or by calling Wioletta at _PHONE_.
Both safety and engaging in a manner that is empowering to those we seek to support are extremely important. Please consider the following tips. If you have additional questions feel free to contact Tim Higgins at _EMAIL_, Hannah Boyd _EMAIL_, or Sophia Schiffer _EMAIL_
Human Dignity Tips and Safety
- Engage in conversation! Make eye contact. Learn names. Ask how someone's day is going. Take time to form a relationship and learn someone's story. This is the human dignity. Learn their story but remember not to share any of your personal information. Avoid mentioning "Sheil" or where you live on campus.
- Offer positive reinforcement and words of encouragement! A smile, a "it gets better," a "you matter."
- Never offer cash. Use the goods from this box to provide a service.
- Avoid trying to help someone "logic" through their situation. i.e., "Get a job."
- Use your intuition. If someone appears inebriated or does not appear to want to interact, choose not to engage. Threaten to call the police if you feel unsafe
- Remember, we are all people, and we all have bad days. If someone is irritable one day, it does not mean they will be the next. Offer grace.
It is OK to feel uncomfortable at first, or to build up confidence in engaging with unfamiliar people over time. Keep in mind that just a smile, nod, or small form of acknowledgment goes a long way.
Note: If you would like to use dining dollars or funds to purchase goods, please reach out for a list of needs. If in conversation you learn of goods that are needed by someone, let us know so we can stock the box with these goods in the future.
Homelessness is, and should be seen as, a temporary condition.

Manage network configurations using the account console (E2)
The account console for E2 accounts is in Public Preview.
This article describes a process that is available only for accounts on the E2 version of the Databricks platform. All new Databricks accounts and most existing accounts are now E2. If you are unsure which account type you have, contact your Databricks representative.
By default, Databricks creates a VPC in your AWS account for each workspace and creates new Databricks Runtime clusters in it. If you are on the E2 version of the Databricks platform, you have the option to create workspaces in your own VPC, known as a customer-managed VPC. This article describes how to use the account console to create and manage network configurations for your account when you want to use a customer-managed VPC. To learn how to create network configurations using the Account API, see Create a new workspace using the Account API.
Using your own VPC enables you to configure it according to your organization's enterprise cloud standards while still conforming to Databricks requirements. You cannot migrate an existing workspace to your own VPC.
Create a network configuration
To create a network configuration for a customer-managed VPC, you must create the VPC and subnets to meet Databricks requirements and then reference that VPC—including network objects such as VPCs, subnets, and security groups—in a network configuration for your Databricks account.
These instructions show you how to create the network configuration from the Account Settings page in the account console before you create a new workspace. You can also create the storage configuration in a similar way as part of the flow of creating a new workspace. See Create and manage workspaces using the account console.
 1. Set up your VPC, subnets, and security groups, using the instructions in Customer-managed VPC.
 Copy the IDs for each of these objects for use in the next step.
 You can share one customer-managed VPC with multiple workspaces in a single account. You do not have to create a new VPC for each workspace. However, you cannot reuse subnets or security groups with any other resources, including other workspaces or non-Databricks resources. If you plan to share one VPC with multiple workspaces, be sure to size your VPC and subnets accordingly. Because a Databricks network configuration encapsulates this information, you cannot reuse a network configuration across workspaces.
 2. Go to the account console, click Account Settings, and click Network configurations.
 3. Click Add Network Configuration.
 4. In the Network Configuration Name field, enter a human-readable name for your new network configuration.
 5. In the VPC ID field, enter the VPC ID.
 6. In the Subnet IDs field, enter the IDs for at least two subnets in the VPC.
 7. In the Security Group IDs field, enter at least one Security Group ID.
 8. Click Add.
View network configurations including errors
 1. Go to the account console, click Account Settings, and click Network configurations.
 All network configurations are listed, with VPC ID, VPC Status, and Created date displayed for each.
 2. Click the network configuration name to view more details, including subnet IDs, security group IDs, and any error messages.
 Not all validations are run during network configuration creation. Some errors are detected only when the configuration is used to create a new workspace. If a new workspace fails to deploy, re-visit this page to view new error messages.
Delete a network configuration
Network configurations cannot be edited after creation. If the configuration has incorrect data or if you no longer need it, delete the network configuration:
 2. On the network configuration row, click the Actions menu icon, and select Delete.
 You can also click the network configuration name and click Delete on the pop-up dialog.
 3. In the confirmation dialog, click Confirm Delete.

View/Report Bugs
perlanalyst - analyse your Perl documents (without running them)
version 0.004
Perlanalyst is a tool to analyse your Perl documents. This is done via static analysis, e.g. the code is analysed without running it.
Before getting into all the gory details, here are some basic usage examples to help get you started.
 # find all subroutine declarations, recursively process all Perl
 # files beneath directory
 perlanalyst -all Sub
 # the same, but show only the declaration of the subroutine "foo"
 perlanalyst -all Sub --filter Name=foo
 # the same, but asked as a question
 perlananalyst --question Sub::Name=foo
 # the same, but look in another directory
 perlananalyst -q Sub::Name=foo ~/perl5/lib/perl5/Test
 # see a list of the files that would be examined
 perlanalyst --list-files
The Perlanalyst examines only files that end in.pl,.pm or.t except if you specify the file names directly on the command line.
It can also list files that would be analysed, without actually searching them.
The program descends through the directory tree of the starting directories specified. If no file or directory is specified, perlanalyst descends through the current directory.
-a NAME, --analysis NAME
Run the analysis of the given NAME.
-f NAME, --filter NAME
Send the results of the analysis through this filter. Can be specified multiple times, the filters are run in the order they appear one the command line.
-q NAME, --question NAME
Ask the question of that name.
List available analyses.
List available filters.
List files that would be examined. Does nothing else an exits afterwards.
List available questions.
An analysis examines a file in a simple way and returns a list of results. For example, a very simple analysis is: Give me all declarations of lexical variables.
A filter takes the results of an analysis and... um... filters it. An example would be: Give me all lexical variables with the name "foo".
A question is an analysis followed by one or more filters.
This is a proof of concept that was hacked together whilst enjoying the 13th German Perl Workshop in Frankfurt. Hacking was done on the train to and from Frankfurt and at the workshop itself.
Add database support.
The results of each analysis will be written to a database. Filters run on the data that was read from the database so analysis and questions can be performed in different steps.
More basic level analyses, filters and questions.
Write more basic analyses using PPI and file operations. Write more filters and combine them in questions.
Introduce higher level analysis, filters and questions.
Higher level anaylses combine results from lower level analyses. For example, to see what package variables are declared, we have to know where the keywords package and our are used and in what scope.
Run analyses only once per unmodified file.
Perform an analyses once to get that initial data for a file and then only if it was modified.
Build other tools around it.
The first one might be a simple web application (using Dancer?) to browse the database (using Dancer::Plugin::Database?).
The second one might be a simple RESTful server (using Dancer::Plugin::REST?).
The third one could be some kind of connection to Perl::Critic. Since this feels so natural and obvious to me, it might actually be the first one that should be built.
PPI is used for parsing the Perl documents.
Perl::Critic is a different kind of tool. It has the knowledge of experienced perl programmers built in and tells you if your code smells.

January 2011 in Network Rail and Suppliers
Trees overhanging the line in Scotland are a concern for one reporter. It has been noted that large trees overhang the line between Dunkeld & Birnam station and Inverness, creating a tunnel effect in some areas.
It is felt by the reporter that Network Rail have done very little to address the issue, even since a train struck a tree in the area on 7 September. The reporter would like to see the affecting trees in the area removed before snowfall increases the risk of trees/branches fouling the line. Please comment.
The tree that was struck in the Dunkeld area had come from
beyond Network Rail's boundary. On the day in question our Lineside
Engineer attended on site and identified other trees that were at
risk and subsequently these have been removed.
Network Rail has commissioned a national lineside survey that is surveying all trees within and beyond our boundaries. This survey ranks all trees deemed to be at risk and then these are removed within a defined timescale. The route in question is currently having this survey carried out.
Over and above the national lineside survey Network Rail has a robust inspection and reporting regime in place to manage lineside vegetation and issues arising from these inspections.
Network Rail works closely with government agencies; local councils and Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA). Prior to any tree cutting works, we also make certain that our lineside neighbours are advised when all tree cutting takes place.


Definition of sky wave in English:
sky wave
 - A radio wave reflected from the ionosphere.
 - 'Which of the following layers of the Ionosphere has no effect on sky wave propagation during the hours of darkness?'
 - 'At intermediate ranges, the sky wave will be coming in at an appreciable angle and it will be less effected by mountains.'
 - 'Note that some absorption of sky waves may also occur at lower atmospheric levels because of the presence of water and water vapor.'
 - 'As well as the ground wave, which propagates at all times, at night a sky wave is also propagated via the ionosphere.'
 - 'It should be mentioned that neither surface waves nor sky waves are possible in space or on airless bodies such as the Moon.'
 - 'The AS2259, near vertical incident sky wave, worked sometimes, but a doublet antenna 10 feet off the ground nearly always worked.'
 - 'Using sky waves it is thus impossible to work on frequencies too away below or above the MUF.'
 - 'HF has excellent sky wave and good surface wave performance and is good for long range communications, though it is subject to interference.'
 - 'The ground wave is much stronger than the sky wave so softer wave pockets can be found at the closer distances.'
 - 'Regional over the horizon communications are possible through a sky wave technique called tropospheric scatter (troposcatter or just tropo).'
 - 'These radio signals are termed sky waves for obvious reason.'
 - 'Fading can also occur on long circuits when sky wave signals take multiple hops to reach the receiver.'
 - 'The most important factor that effects the propagation of sky waves is the ionosphere.'

Executive Summary
Primary Conclusions
 1. For inmates in the study that were released in FY 2001-02, the recommitment rate for the inmates who attended 10 or more sign-in chapel programs per month was 26% less than the recommitment rate for those inmates who did not attend any chapel programs. The data is as of December 31, 2004.
 2. The recommitment rate showed an inverse relationship to the number of times per month that the inmate attended a chapel program. The more the inmates attended a chapel program the smaller the recommitment rate.
 3. The percentage of inmates released who participated in religious programming was at least 13.5% higher than inmates who had no participation in religious programming. (see table on p.7)
 4. There is an inverse relationship between the disciplinary report rate for those inmates that remained incarcerated between 07/07/01 and 12/31/04 and the number of times per month (in the original study period only) that the inmate attended a sign-in chapel program. The more the inmates attended a chapel program the smaller the inmate disciplinary report rate.
 5. Fifty-four percent of inmate respondents to survey questions attributed better behavior (as measured in Disciplinary Reports received) to Chaplaincy Programs. The inmates surveyed were all measured in some capacity in the original study and still remain in custody in a FDC facility. Twenty-six percent of these same inmates duplicated in the "Additional Comments" area of the survey that in their opinion it was the Chaplain, a chapel program or a religious volunteer that was the catalyst for improved behavior. These unsolicited responses provide an indication of the sincerity of the inmate responses.


Nuclear physicist who worked for the CIA, executed in Iran
Source : 112 Ukraine
On penalty reported scientist's relatives, after his body was returned to his native city

Iranian nuclear physicist Shahram Amiri, who lived a long time in the USA was executed in Tehran. This was reported by the scientist's family, according to BBC. On penalty reported Amiri's relatives, when his body was returned to his native city. They found the traces of rope around the neck of the scientist.
Shahram Amiri in 2009 went on a pilgrimage to Mecca, and then disappeared and appeared in the United States, where, as reported he was kept by force by the CIA. US denied any involvement in the abduction. In 2010, ABC News channel reported that a nuclear physicist fled to the United States and helped the CIA to gather information on Iran's nuclear program. Subsequently, the White House said that the scientist willfully fled to the United States and gave Washington the important information.
In 2010, Amiri returned to Tehran, where he was greeted as a hero. However, after this he fell under long period of imprisonment.

At restaurants with multiple locations, it is common that one user may need to make changes to another user's Permissions, Basic Information, and Jobs and Wages at another location.
This article will cover the requirements for a user to make changes to Employee Information, Jobs and Wages, or User Permissions to:
1) their own account at another location
2) another user's account at another location
Permissions Hierarchy -
Multi-location restaurants must have at least one "super user" at the corporate level that has access to all Toast permissions. This access is granted by a Toast employee. The "super user" should then choose a minimum of one manager user at each individual location that also has access to all permissions.
However, the permissions granted to the manager user at the individual locations are still to the super user's discretion. For example, the super user may not want a manager user to have access to certain Admin Permissions such as Financial Accounts or Franchisee Fees.
In order to make changes to a specific permission for another user, the user making the change must also have access to that permission.
To make changes to a specific permission for a user at another location, the user making the change must have the same permission granted to them at their original location AND at the location where the user's permission needs to be changed.
- Example: A user has the ability to Void Items / Orders at Location A but not at Location B.
- This user will only have the ability to grant other users access to the Void Items / Orders permission at Location A.
- If a user has the ability to Void Items / Orders at Location A, Location B, and Location C, then the user can grant the Void Items / Orders permissions to another user at all three locations.
Employee Information - The ability to edit a user's basic information (including contact information, password, and passcode) is based off of the Employee Info permission.
In order for a user to make changes to their own employee information OR to another user's employee information, the user making the changes must have the Employee Info permission granted to them.
To make changes to a user's employee information at another location, the user making the change must have the Employee Info permission granted to them at their original location AND at the location where the user's employee information needs to be changed.
Jobs and Wages - The ability to add or remove job roles from an employee is based off of the Employee Jobs & Wages permission and also on the permissions within the job role.
Requirements to add or remove a job role from a user at another location:
- The user adding/removing editing the job role must have all of the permissions that are required of the job role.
- Example: In order for User A to assign the Key Employee role to User B at User B's location, User A must have access to all of the permissions that are required within that job role.

The Effects of Water Levels on Safe Boating
By Al Wade
Kuttawa, Ky – Those bathtub rings on the shorelines of our lakes testify to changing lake levels. Alan Wade is a member of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, and next he explains how varying water levels affect boating.
Kentucky Lake's and Lake Barkley's water levels change, as all of us who boat on either lake know. These changes in water levels can be tricky, especially if you are boating out of the main channels. Charts will help, but you need to know what the water level is on that day to really understand your chart.
Reservoir levels start going back up in mid-March. Most reservoirs fill to their highest level by June 1. Reservoirs are drawn to their lowest level by January 1 to provide water-storage capacity in order to reduce flood damage from rain run-off which is most likely to happen in winter and early spring. When it rains in the summer or fall, the water is more likely to soak into the ground, with some run-off. But, when it rains in the colder months, most of the water will run-off into the lake which can change the lake level. We all remember when Nashville received a historical level of rain, which raised our lake level dramatically with dire consequences for many homes, especially in Livingston County.
These high levels of water affect boaters. Debris floats out into the lakes. Sometimes there are logs and trees which may be partially submerged and pose hidden dangers for boaters.
Low water levels also affect boaters. If you are a regular boater in Lake Barkley, you surely are aware of many protruding trees or rocks. What was passable last week may be dangerous this week, if the water level is lower.
How do you know what the water level is? Go to _URL_ for up to date information. Select the reservoir for which you need information, either Lake Barkley or Kentucky Lake or any other. You will find the Reservoir Elevation, which is the water behind the dam, and the Tailwater Elevation, which is the water below the dam.
Be informed. This information may better help you to understand lake conditions and travel on-water more safely.
As always, avoid excessive speed, avoid alcohol, and always wear a life jacket!
If you want to know more about this topic or the Coast Guard Auxiliary, search online for US Coast Guard Auxiliary 4 Rivers, for a flotilla near you.

Communicating with Vocal Emotions
Talk by Oleksandr Talavera (Birmingham) as part of the Research Seminar Series of the IOS Economics Department.
This paper explores the interpersonal vocal communication of managers with analysts during earnings conference calls. We apply a novel machine learning technique on a sample of more than 20,000 earnings conference calls of S&P 500 firms to generate voice emotions measures. Focusing on analyst-manager conversations, we find evidence of reciprocal interactions when managers respond with a similar vocal emotion to analysts. We also document that managers, who dialogue with a female analyst, exhibit a more positive vocal response. Moreover, female managers and younger managers are more likely to display negative vocal emotions than their male and older colleagues. Further analysis shows that investors and analysts incorporate emotionally charged information in trading and earnings forecasts.

Can Chickens Fly
Many people want to know if chickens can fly, and what to do with backyard chickens in regards to flight. So, can chickens fly? In short, yes they can. However, they cannot fly very far or very high, and are not known for their flying abilities. We will cover a few common questions about chicken flight, including how high they can go, how far, and what to do with a flighty bird.
The chicken flight records show that chickens don't have a great ability to fly. The longest recorded flight of a chicken was 13 seconds, and the farthest distance recorded was over 301 feet. Although these are impressive by chicken standards, consider that birds like eagles can fly over 125 miles without landing.
Different breeds and birds have different abilities. One breed that is known for being able to fly well is the Wyandotte. These birds start flying at a young age and are known to be more flighty birds, although they don't fly well. On the other hand, frizzle chickens often cannot even jump up onto a perch due to their funny feathering!
Let's look at why chickens fly. There are many reasons your poultry may take to the air, but a few are most common. First, chickens will often fly when being chased or when they feel like they are in danger. Flight is a great survival mechanism, helping your flock get away from a predator or threat.
Chickens also fly out of curiosity and perseverance. If they see literal or proverbial greener grass, they may go to investigate. Chickens are extremely determined birds, and will do what they can to see what is going on on the other side of a fence. If there are good pickins on the other side of the fence, your birds may want to see what they can find.
Finally, chickens may fly to find a place to roost. Some breeds may be more prone to this than others. Ameraucanas, for example, love to perch up in trees. They may do this at dusk, or during the day to take a nap. They may jump from branch to branch and get pretty high up there! We've seen our ladies up ten feet or more in the tree.
How Far Can Chickens Fly?
So, can chickens fly long distances? They cannot. When they do fly, it tends to be just a few feet at a time. Many lighter breeds are able to fly a few meters at a time, but this is rare. During a scuffle with another chicken or a predator, you may see your flock taking a low and quick flight a few meters away. In more dramatic cases when a chicken is really trying to escape something, they often will travel over fifty feet in the air.
How High Can Chickens Fly?
This is another common question we hear quite a bit. People ask can chickens fly over fences, walls, or onto roofs. Like many other questions related to chicken flight, it really depends on the breed. Heavier chickens may top out at four feet, while lighter chickens often can reach up to seven feet. Chickens will jump up into trees, onto fences, or onto roofs often in steps. If there is something near a fence for a chicken to jump up to first, they may be able to get over. However, they can be trained to not clear fences or the roof.
According to Live Science, the most simple explanations are that chickens have too small of wings, and they are too large and heavy to fly. However, they were not always that way as we point out in our post 19 Interesting Facts about Chickens. Through selective breeding, we have domesticated chickens today that are larger and less flight-prone than their ancestors, the jungle fowl.
Clipping Your Chicken's Wings
Clipping a chicken's wings is considered harsh by some, while many choose to do it. It does not harm your chicken, but will dramatically impact their ability to fly. By clipping just the flight wings, the birds are prevented from gaining lift. They can still fly and escape danger, but it is much more difficult for them to get good air. Do your research to see if this is right for you. If you're interested in clipping your chickens' wings, make sure you do it right. You can find a good guide to clipping chicken wings from Permaculture.

Are NC Shark Attacks Common Along The Coastal Beaches? Safe To Swim?
Are NC shark attacks common at coastal beaches and is it safe to swim at community beaches such as Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle, Wrightsville Beach, or Topsail Island?
No shark attacks are not common, in fact they are very rare and yes it is safe to swim at NC beaches.
Readers are encouraged to share this resource on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter so that others can learn more about sharks and NC beaches, and to use the discussion form below to have ongoing talks with our staff and other readers about attacks when they do happen in local waters.
Join Us On Twitter
Here are some things to consider:
Carteret County NC
It is important to remember that when humans swim in the ocean, they are entering an environment where sharks live. It is also important to note that humans are NOT a shark's natural prey.
When attacks do occur, it is likely that a shark was pursuing it's natural prey, came across a human, attacked thinking it was it's prey, then released after it realized it bit in to something other than what it was pursuing. Unfortunately, when this does happen, it is very traumatic for a person swimming in the ocean and it attracts a lot of attention from bystanders, the media, and social media shares.
Additionally, the reason you are hearing so much about shark attacks recently is that due to the Internet and social media, news is no longer local. People on the Internet can now hear about attacks anywhere in the world and it seems like there are more incidents when there really is the same amount of incidents.
Here are some things to consider when swimming in the ocean to minimize your chances of a shark being attracted to you thinking you are it's natural prey:
 - If you have any open sores or bleeding anywhere on your body, be mindful that sharks can smell blood in the water from many miles away.
 - Continuous splashing in the water is the same type of splashing it's natural prey makes when it is in distress and vulnerable to attack.
 - Devices that emit certain noises attract sharks.
 - If while swimming in the ocean you notice a lot of shore birds diving in to the water, it is likely that a school of fish is nearby which will attract hungry predator sharks.
 - Do not swim after the sun goes down over the horizon and definitely do not swim at night. This is prime time for sharks to feed on their natural prey
So what are your chances of being attacked by a shark at NC beaches when swimming? The latest research and statistical data puts your chances of being involved in an incident at 1 in 3,478,000.
This number definitely tells us that attacks are not common and very rare, but naturally the viral nature of the Internet and pictures / video during one of the incidents scares people.
If you are visiting one of the NC coastal beaches this Spring or Summer in Emerald Isle, Topsail Island, Carolina Beach, or Wrightsville Beach and you are concerned about predators in the ocean, please understand that the odds of you being attacked are overwhelmingly unlikely and we strongly encourage you to enjoy your vacation and the ocean.
November 2019: Scientist with OCEARCH reported that 9 great white sharks they tagged in the past have recently pinged along the coast of NC. These scientist go on to say that it is not uncommon for white sharks to migrate to waters near the Outer Banks between land and the gulf stream because of the diversity of water temperatures in this region which is where their natural prey are. This area is typically referred to the "dynamic mixing zone" near the Atlantic Continental Shelf.
OCEARCH is a research organization that tags various types of sharks to get information on migration and mating habits. In recent years, white sharks have pinged in inland waters near the Pamlico Sound and Albemarle Sound which scientist say is not uncommon.

 I keep seeing people say there are more and more in the waters than they have ever seen and that something new must be happening.
 It's not true. There have always been great white sharks along the NC coast and here in Carteret County, it's just that with new technology, everyone having a cell phone camera, and the viral nature of social media it just looks like there are more.
 The numbers of attacks are not spiking or going up.

The Kualti are the elite guard of Queen Zyanyi Arkan, the current ruler of Varlamore. Their sole purpose is to protect the Queen, and nothing else.[1] Their headquarters is located in Civitas illa Fortis, adjacent to the royal palace. During a A Kingdom Divided, they accompany Queen Zyanyi to attend the coronation ceremony in Great Kourend.
To become one of the Kualti requires having served many years in the kingdom's army and rigorous training as a knight of the kingdom.[2] Upon completing their training, the Kualti-to-be would be initiated into the ranks of the Kualti in an initiation ceremony.
The Kualti initiation ceremony is performed by Varlamore's High Priest, who would hand over the dagger of the Kualti-to-be's predecessor, which signified their place as one of the Kualti.[3] Each dagger is unique to one of the Kualti, and the Grand Museum of Civitas illa Fortis contains a section where they are displayed, where rows and rows of them are arranged by the ruler under which their owner served.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
 - The word "Kualti" means "to feed" in Nahuatl, a language/group of languages of the Uto-Aztecan language family. This can be interpreted that they are important fodder to protect their Queen, which is their sole duty.

Hint. In fact there are $A_{ij}^m$ walks of length at most $m$ from $i$ to $j$. The inductive proof of this is pretty much identical to the one you're asking asking for, and your question follows a corollary.
Hint 2. Use $A_{ij}^m=\sum_{k=1}^n A_{ik}^{m-1}A_{kj}$.

I think you mean walks of length exactly $m$. – Erick Wong Mar 10 '13 at 16:35
You may prove by mathematical induction. The base case is trivial. For the $k$-th iteration, note that $(A^k)_{ij}\not=0$ iff $(A^{k-1})_{i\ell}$ and $A_{\ell j}$ are both nonzero for some index $\ell$.

Background: Surgery with and without hypervolaemia may cause shedding (breakdown) of the endothelial glycocalyx layer, but the severity of this problem is unclear. Methods: In this preliminary report of a larger clinical trial, the plasma and urine concentrations of three biomarkers of glycocalyx shedding (syndecan-1, hyaluronic acid and heparan sulfate) were measured in seven patients before, during, and after open hysterectomy. The fluid therapy consisted of 25ml/kg (approximately 2l) of Ringer's lactate, which was infused over 30min when the surgery started. The resulting plasma volume expansion at the end of the infusion was estimated from the haemodilution. Results: The mean plasma concentration of syndecan-1 was 21.7ng/ml before surgery and averaged 19.7ng/ml during and after the surgery. The plasma concentration of hyaluronic acid decreased from 38.0 to 27.7ng/ml (P<0.05), while heparan sulfate increased from 3.4 to 5.5μg/ml (P<0.05). The urine concentrations of syndecan-1 decreased significantly, while they increased for hyaluronic acid and heparan sulfate. Despite the vigorous fluid load, the urine flow did not exceed 1ml/min. Conclusions: No clear evidence was found for shedding of the endothelial glycocalyx layer when 2l of Ringer's lactate was infused over 30min during abdominal hysterectomy. Urine analyses yielded patterns of changes that differed from those in plasma. Trial registration:ISRCTN81005631. Registered May 17, 2016.

Some sauces are more at risk to curdle than others. What exactly (ingredients, techniques, temperature...) causes this curdling? What can you do to have the curdling risk at minimum?
I'm not asking for ways to fix this, that's already asked here.
In most cases curdling occurs because proteins in the sauce are denatured and bind up with each other forming clumps.
In cooking proteins are denatured by excessive heat, acid, salt, or enzymes.
Heat and acid are the usual culprits for me. For example, when making a hollandaise saucethe egg yolks are slowly cooked to allow them to set. In most recipes the lemon juice is added later. If the sauce is heated to abruptly or to high then the egg proteins will curdle.
To prevent curdling you have a few optionsIt is difficult (but not impossible) to curdle the milk protein in cream based sauces with just heat because the high concentration of milk fat gets in the way. This is why reduction sauces can add cream to a very hot liquid and let it reduce. However, adding acid and heat can still be enough to curdle so be careful if your reduction sauce is very acidic.
Many otherwise fragile sauce recipes will call for a little bit of corn starch as an insurance policy. In the related question that you postedyogurt sauces are particularly susceptible to this because low-fat yogurt is very high in protein and low in fat, and starch.

Abandoned mineshafts could be used to heat Glasgow
by James Morgan
15 February 2013
In certain cases, it will be necessary to dig up streets in order to install new pipes and cables. I think that working out how to do this will prove to be the biggest challenge. However, a lot of our work is likely to be carried out in conjunction with new developments in which a centralised heat-pumping system will distribute water around houses and offices.
Experts from Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) believe that disused coal mines could help to solve the problem of fuel poverty within Scotland's largest city. The researchers, whose work is being partly funded by ScottishPower Ltd, suspect that the warm water contained within Glasgow's abandoned mineshafts can be used to heat roads, pavements and homes.
This might sound too good to be true, but Glasgow wouldn't be the first city in the world to adopt such an approach. Hamburgers and Stockholmers already enjoy similar systems that take advantage of the geothermal energy beneath their feet. If the team – led by Project Director Dr Nick Hytiris, Senior Lecturer at GCU's School of Engineering and Built Environment – concludes that Glasgow is a suitable candidate for such a system, it has been calculated that the subterranean water supply could provide heating for approximately 40 per cent of the city's population.
To find out more about the benefits that might result from this network of almost-forgotten mineshafts, I spoke to GCU's Bjørn Aaen, a participating researcher and former technical advisor to Glasgow City Council. I began by asking how he and his colleagues plan to identify reservoirs with the potential to fuel this under-street heating system.
"We will begin by studying the maps that have already been developed by Glasgow City Council and the British Geological Survey (BGS)," Aaen replied. "These 3D models are really detailed representations of subterranean Glasgow, and they show that there are reservoirs of water stored within the city's old mine workings. The trick will be to identify the best reservoirs to use. Utilising very shallow mine workings, for instance, could cause problems relating to instability. Having said that, any water that we draw from reservoirs will be pumped back again, so there should be very little overall change in volume.
"Even so, it might be more sensible to choose reservoirs that exist at a depth of about 50m or so," he continued. "At these levels, the temperature doesn't tend to vary with the seasons. You don't have to go very deep into the ground to find water with a temperature that remains stable all year round."
Of course, assuming that Aaen and his colleagues do find a sufficient number of reservoirs to make this project economically viable, it still remains for them to pump the warm water to the places in which it is needed. I asked how difficult it would be to integrate such a system within Glasgow's already bustling underground infrastructure.
"To some extent, this depends on the distance that the water has to travel," Aaen explained. "In certain cases, it will be necessary to dig up streets in order to install new pipes and cables. I think that working out how to do this will prove to be the biggest challenge. However, a lot of our work is likely to be carried out in conjunction with new developments in which a centralised heat-pumping system will distribute water around houses and offices. For example, we are going to be working in the Clyde Gateway Regeneration area; the largest regeneration area in Scotland. As we will be starting from scratch, installing geothermal heating systems will cause very little disruption. Naturally, we will do our best to avoid digging anything up without good reason."
In the United Kingdom, a household is said to be in fuel poverty if – in addition to meeting the costs of utilities such as lighting, appliances, cooking and water heating – it spends more than 10 per cent of its income on maintaining a satisfactory heating regime.1 During recent years, energy prices have risen at a faster rate than the average income in Glasgow, leading to higher levels of fuel poverty across the city. Indeed, according to the 2008 Scottish House Condition Survey, 25 per cent of Glaswegian households are 'fuel poor'.2
In light of such statistics, I asked Aaen about the extent to which this initiative will provide heating for domestic purposes? How many people could benefit from Glasgow's geothermal energy resource?
"It has been calculated that during a 100-year period, up to 40 per cent of Glasgow's heating needs could be met by this energy resource," he replied. "It has the potential to make fuel costs more affordable for huge numbers of people. Moreover, there is existing evidence to this effect. The residents of Glenalmond Street have had this system installed for over a decade now. Whilst I am only talking about 17 houses – it is quite a small setup – the residents have reported that their heating bills have dropped to approximately £150 per year. Heating homes in this way is much cheaper than using gas or electricity."
Finally, I asked Aaen whether other UK cities are likely to follow suit if he and his colleagues find Glasgow to be a suitable host for this expansive geothermal heating infrastructure. As he explained, locations across the home nations could take advantage of their mining heritages.
"There are numerous towns and cities that exist above old mine workings similar to those that can be found beneath Glasgow," Aaen concluded. "Places across Central Scotland, England and Wales could certainly benefit from the same type of technology. After all, the remnants of mining past are spread widely across the UK and beyond."

Many people invest a lot of money in order to go to college with the hope that they will eventually be rewarded with higher salaries. This paper attempts to determine what aspects of college are most important in determining the future income of students. In particular, this paper studies whether GPA is an important determinant of income as well as whether some majors are better investments than others after controlling for other factors. In addition, the effect of math and verbal ability on income and how they interact with different fields of study are studied. The data comes from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth database and ordinary least-squares regressions are used. The regressions show that grades, natural ability, and major all significantly affect income.

Politicians are not Role models anymore now.
Politicians are not Role models anymore now
Politicians are not Role models anymore now
India has given birth to powerful and heroic citizens like Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Bhagat Singh and many more. The power and charisma exhibited by them still rules the world. The youth, even though these people have become history today, rank them as their role models and live by their preaching.
Swami Vivekananda, whose preaching has swept the world off their feet, is still the role model for the empowering and growing India.
So, why does the youth have to look at the past to glorify their future? The leaders and politicians of today's era don't exhibit that charisma and the righteousness that the leaders of the past did. Today, the leaders are more worried about themselves than the nation. They have become increasingly corrupt, signalling wrong ways to the youth.
If the youth of today looks at the present political scenario, what would his learning be? The religious and social divide, the vote bank hue and cry, chaos, ever growing gap between the rich and the poor and, to top it all we have petty issues among the politicians that cause a wider gap in every possible growth situation.
The youth of today wishes to be part of making India a super power. They are engaged in empowering India. They need role models that can help them in making India a better place. They don't believe in a single religion and, the divide caused by this religion goes beyond them. They believe globalization is the key and, education is the way to get India to the top.
Can any of the political leaders who occupy the stage help them in achieving these causes without their own selfish interests placed in them? Role models need to be bold and daring filled with enthusiasm and honesty. They should have a single goal in mind towards which they work and, that goal should be beautifully defined.
Eklavya, Arjun are all mythological characters but, they have been accepted as role models even today. With the corrupt brains and selfish interests, the political leaders of today lack everything that it takes to be role models for the youth today.

FOOTPRINT EASTER CHICKS
Level: ECE, Primary
Grades: PreK - Gr. 2 | Age: 2 - 8yrs| Written by: Rachel Ward
[Rachel is a teacher from Marine City, Michigan]
Students will use their own footprints to make baby chicks.
What You Need:
What You Do:
- Yellow tempera paint (washable!)
- Wash tubs
- Large construction paper
- Each student chooses a construction paper for background.
- Kids take one shoe and sock off. (Giggling will follow)
- Have students come up one at a time, to gently dip their foot in the yellow tempera paint.
- Help student "hop" over to their paper (which is placed on the floor).
- Each will step on their paper, making a footprint.
- The heel becomes the chick's 'head'.
- As paint is drying, kids may wish to sprinkle on glue to add cornmeal, so their chick has something to eat.
- Kids decorate their footprint to look like a new spring chick. Kids can use orange paint to add a beak and black paint for the feet.

To clarify the fractal natures of electromagnetic radiations prior to earthquakes, we conducted a friction experiment simulating the essential elements of the motion of an asperity on a fault plane, and observed the generation of photon emissions around frictional contacts due to the dielectric breakdown of ambient gases by frictional electrification. According to the fractal distribution of fault asperities, we show that the frictional discharge (plasma generation) at asperities on the fault plane can be one of origins of the fractal seismo-electromagnetic radiation prior to earthquakes.

MC:P163 Papers of Henry Bensley Wells (_PHONE_)
Henry Bensley Wells (always called Ben in these letters) was born in 1891 and attended Winchester College before coming to Magdalen as a Commoner in 1909–1913, where he got a Third in History. He coxed the Magdalen College First Eight in 1911–1913, the Blues boat in 1911–1914, and a Leander Eight which won the Olympic Regatta at Stockholm in 1912. After serving in the First World War, he became a barrister, and then a County Court Judge in 1934. He died in 1967.
The letters were given to the College archives by the recipient's son, John Wells, himself an Old Member of Magdalen (C. 1946–1949), in May 2001 as Accession No. 01/108. The photograph album and photographs were donated by his sons John (mentioned above) and David Wells (C.1949-52) in the late 1980s and accessioned as 89/2.

(**) Gray codes.
An n-bit Gray code is a sequence of n-bit strings constructed according to certain rules. Find out the construction rules and write a predicate with the following specification:
% gray(N,C) :- C is the N-bit Gray code
gray :: Int -> [String] gray 0 = [""] gray n = let xs = gray (n-1) in map ('0':) xs ++ map ('1':) (reverse xs)
A similar solution using list comprehension to build the sub-lists:
gray :: Int -> [String] gray 0 = [""] gray n = [ '0' : x | x <- prev ] ++ [ '1' : x | x <- reverse prev ] where prev = gray (n-1)
The Gray code can be recursively defined in the way that for determining the gray code of n we take the Gray code of n-1, prepend a 0 to each word, take the Gray code for n-1 again, reverse it and prepend a 1 to each word. At last we have to append these two lists. For more see the Wikipedia article.
Another completely different solution (using folds) that is way more efficient, because it needs just the space which is occupied by the list itself:
gray :: Integral a => a -> [String] gray 0 = [""] gray n = foldr (\s acc -> ("0" ++ s):("1" ++ s):acc) $ gray (n-1)
The key is that the algorithm just crawls one time over the input-list and uses the (++) operator in a way that it just has a running time of O(1).
