What does the flow look like from the Advocate point of view?
- Navigate to the AdvocateHub URL
- There are two scenarios:
- If they have previously logged in to your portal and the cookie is still present in the browser then they will be brought directly to the AdvocateHub.
- If they have not previously logged in and have no cookie they will be invited to enter their login credentials to your platform, upon successful entry of these, they will be brought to the AdvocateHub.
Note: If an advocate is already a member of another AdvocateHub with the same email address then there is one additional step in the flow. After they successfully enter their credentials into the customer portal, they will see a message like below:
An email will be sent to the Advocate which will include a link which they just have to click on and they will be brought back to the login screen to enter their credentials once more before gaining access to the AdvocateHub.
Here is a visual walkthrough of the flow the Advocate will experience:
How do invites work with SSO?
You can get Advocates into your hub in a number of ways:
1. Join Code/Join URL - These work exactly the same as they would on a non-SSO hub. Read more on them here
2. As enabling SAML means anybody with access to your Identity Provider can access Influitive, you can also provide your Advocates with just your hub URL and they will be able to access. The disadvantage of this is the lack of segmentation.
3. You can send out traditional email invites from our system or Marketo. If you send these the Advocate must use the link provided in these emails or else they may encounter permission issues.
Things To Think About If Implementing SSO On An Active Hub
What can you do to prepare for this?
Can I have Employees access the AdvocateHub via SSO but Customers access using the traditional method?
Using SAML, no, anybody who has an account setup in the platform you are utilizing SSO in will be able to access the AdvocateHub. This is a case of all or nothing. If you want to use SSO then everybody has to login using it. So for example, if you have employees who have accounts in your portal they can login through SSO, but if you have customers who don't have an account in your portal they have no way to login when SSO is enabled in your AdvocateHub.
Where are the 'Terms and Conditions' and Consent housed when using SSO?
How does the AdvocateHub App work with SSO?


Kissing hands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 (Redirected from Kiss Hands)
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about the constitutional term. For the more general ritual of greeting and respect, see Hand-kissing.
To kiss hands is a constitutional term used in the United Kingdom to refer to the formal installation of Crown-appointed British government ministers to their office.
In the past, it referred to the requirement that the office-holder actually kiss the hands of the Sovereign as a symbol of personal fealty and loyalty to the Sovereign, that fealty and loyalty being a requirement to serve in the King's or Queen's government.
In modern times, office-holders are not expected physically to kiss the hands of the Sovereign before assuming the role. Simply being received by the Queen is taken to validate the selection, with this meeting being described in the Court Circular as "kissing hands". The invitation issued to a party leader to form a government is sometimes still described as "an invitation to kiss hands". The actual kissing of hands does not take place until the subsequent meeting of the Privy Council, when the new minister is formally appointed as a member of the Council.[1]
When appointing a Secretary of State (the top rank in the UK government), the protocol also involves the delivery by the Sovereign of the seals of office into the hands of the appointee. This is also valid for other officers who are keepers of seals, such as the Lord Privy Seal or the Lord Chancellor, who is also keeper of the Great Seal of the United Kingdom.
Ordinarily the ceremony will take place in Buckingham Palace, but it has been known to happen in Windsor Castle or Balmoral Castle, and in 1908, King Edward controversially summoned H.H. Asquith to Biarritz, France, where he was on holiday at the time.

A console, glowing.
A console is a PPC agent's workstation, found in almost every response center.
The console is widely known for giving off a loud and shrill BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! whenever a new mission appears on the screen. BEEP!s have been known to be heard well outside of their response centers and to BEEP! in words (usually profane) should they be left unacknowledged long enough (TOS).
According to the Laws of Narrative Comedy, the probability of a console beeping increases in direct proportion to the amount of sleep its agent needs. Consequently, the console is vulnerable to heavy damage by fire, heavy metal objects, fists, or all of the above.
There are many parts to a console, which is described in the following detail by Despatch:
Display screen on which the Words of various stories, and any messages which are relevant to the job, can be displayed.
Series of buttons. Known ones are:
 - Red - Acknowledge job.
 - Blue - Coordination linkups.
Series of flashing lights. Known ones are:
 - Red - Indicates a new mission (possibly restricted to assassination missions only).
 - Green - Crossovers acknowledgment: press the button below the light to get any messages from them.
 - "New message" (color unknown) - indicates that the console has received a message.
Panel for setting disguises. The disguises themselves would probably look a little like "skins" from the Sims.
When receiving messages rather than missions, consoles will [Bing!] or [Bip!] instead of [BEEP!]. When a message is left unacknowledged, there will be a steady [Bip. Bip. Bip.] sound and a flashing "new message" light.
Some consoles have been suspected of developing limited sentience, or at least a strong sense of self-preservation. A console that has a history of having violence inflicted upon it to get it to shut up may respond to vocal commands (i.e. shutting up when told if violence is threatened) or actively modulate its own volume to avoid problems. This may be due to tinkering on DoSAT's part; if it is, though, they're not telling.
Consoles can also be called, and Inter-Console Electronic Post is used for communication purposes, whether between agents, agent to Flower, or between Flowers. They also appear to have at least limited Internet access.
PunchGuardTM is sometimes used by DoSAT in an attempt to prevent damage to consoles, but its effectiveness varies.
TARDIS consoles use the Cloister Bell instead of a beep.

The classic free-speech axiom is that the cure for bad speech is more speech. This Article considers the possible social costs of speech, focusing on speech strategies that impede and degrade change, even if the speech itself is socially acceptable. This Article introduces the Clucking Theorem, which states that human nature unnecessarily inflates the costs of processes related to proposed legal changes. Clucking is a form of externality—it is an action that inflates the social costs associated with discourse over a new or revised norm. It also alters transitions, degrades the quality of reforms, impedes certain changes, and facilitates undesirable transitions. This Article's inquiry into the characteristics of clucking is supported by a qualitative study of debates and disputes over changes to backyard chicken laws in more than one hundred localities between 2007 and 2010. This study emphasizes that certain clucking characteristics are unrelated to the substance of the issue at stake, the size of the population, or the innovation in the proposed change. In synthesizing the study, this Article identifies five categories of individuals who engage in clucking: losers, winners, status quo enforcers, political opportunists, and human roosters. Finally, this Article stresses that civility norms and procedural rules are viable means to reduce the social costs of clucking.

Does Cultural Sensitivity Matter to Maintaining Business Relationships in the Export Markets?: An empirical investigation in the Norwegian seafood industry
MetadataShow full item record
The aim of this study is twofold. The first aim is to develop the cultural sensitivity concept. A review of literature, including literature focusing on international business, marketing, and adaptive selling, has provided the basis from where the cultural sensitivity concept has been developed. This study proposes a model of the concept as multi-dimensional. Cultural sensitivity is perceived as a competence, held by a person responsible for sales in the export markets. Experience is viewed as essential to advance a salesperson's cultural sensitivity. The dimensions, and thus the variables composing cultural sensitivity, are as follows: international experience, country experience, open-mindedness, adaptive business style, and ongoing business experience. The measurement scales were adopted from previous research, but were accommodated to the context studied. The second aim of this study is to investigate the extent to which the various dimensions of cultural sensitivity are important to the maintaining of business relationships in export marketing channel contexts. The empirical setting is the Norwegian seafood export industry with selected business partners in the export markets. The sample consists of 111 cases, and regression analyses were conducted to test 12 hypotheses. The conceptual model proposes that the five variables that compose cultural sensitivity have different roles. International experience, country experience and open-mindedness are hypothesised to have an impact on relational qualities (trust between exchange partners and exchange of information) indirectly through adaptive business style. The findings give support to this view. These three variables do not have significant effects on trust and exchange of information directly. The findings show that country experience and open-mindedness have positive and significant effects on an adaptive business style. The findings show that adaptive business style does not have a significant impact on trust between exchange partners. Adaptive business style has a significant impact on exchange of information, though only at a p <.10 level. Ongoing business experience is viewed as a moderator variable. It is expected to strengthen the relationship between adaptive business style and trust, and the relationship between adaptive business style and exchange of information. The results show that the former relationship is strengthened from a non-significant to a significant relationship. The significance is though only at a p <.10 level.

Before Christmas, Bluebirds enjoyed reading the poem "The Night Before Christmas" and looked at the layout and rhyming couplets.
They also investigated the meaning of unknown words as this poem is quite old fashioned in places! Since returning to school, Bluebirds have been looking at the features in the poem "January Brings the Snow" and have made a recording of it for you to hear. Again this poem has some dated language which initiated lots of chat and investigation into unfamiliar language. Boys and girls took it in turn to read a verse each and tried hard to perform in unison.

This paper explores the mobilities and structural moorings of Thai labour migrants in Singapore from a translocal perspective. We argue that combining the mobilities paradigm with the concept of translocality offers a fruitful avenue of investigation not only of the production of translocal spaces, but also of their temporality and mutability. Through a multi-sited research approach we shed light on the genesis as well as the decay of translocal connections. This paper shows that translocal structures are important moorings of migration, and raises the question of what happens to translocal spaces when migration flows dissolve.

The purpose of this training is to create a renewed and heightened awareness of boundary issues in work with foster youth. Having boundaries is not just a matter of being professional. Appropriate boundaries are a key ingredient in providing the children in our care with the highest quality of care, which often times requires us to build trusting and healing relationships with them. Frequently the relationships we build with clients can have ambiguous boundaries, making it important to develop an awareness of possible danger signs for boundary issues that might result in poor practice or which might be red flags for potential exploitation of clients.

Symfony 2.0 vs Agile Toolkit 3.8 – part 4 – Bundles, Users, DB
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010|Misc|by Romans
This post continues comparison of Agile Toolkit and Symfony 2.0. This post is based on features described in Quick tour – page 4
This is a new concept for Agile Toolkit introduced in 3.8. It is however called "Locations". Everything in Agile Toolkit is not bundle, but rather a resource of particular type. Resource may be found in one of the locations.
In practice we have to deal with many cases, when framework change might be required or extended locally. We might then copy./lib/Form.php from./amodules3/Form.php and tweak it. The includes work, they will grab local copy of the file for auto-inclusion if it exists first. The same thing applies to templates, javascript routines, css and images. Through this approach you can drop image under template/jui/images/logo.png and it will automatically used instead of the one bundled with the theme. This is calling substituting.
Third party bundles will play major part, however we have to implement them without hogging performance. Currently you can manually specify additional locations.
Common practice on substituting
Often your code snippets will rely on common class such as Page, but you will want to implement to tweak it for your project. In 3.8 a common practice is to create proxy classes in lib/* such as MYPage, MPForm, MPGrid (where MP is project abbreviation). However we do plan to use "Page", "Grid", "Form" as a proxies to Form_Generic, Grid_Generic etc and use substituting technique to override those within your project.
User attributes (sessions)
In Agile Toolkit any object may use $this->memorize(), $this->recall() and $this->forget() to safely store data in session. If you want multiple objects to use same data, use $this->api->memorize()
It's discouraged to use sessions for things like notice requests – after all you have to keep in mind that in web app you may have multiple browsers open, ajax requests firing and then user still have that "back" button. Web is designed state-less and should stay this way.
memorize() is used to save state of certain control if user leaves the page and comes back. For example, grid will use memorize() for the sorting order. Once you log out it's gone, but while you work with the application it will remember how you sorted the grid on each screen. Filters will also memorize their contents until you reset them.
Accessing the Database
Agile Toolkit takes much more responsibility in a way how user accesses database. Of course you can still send requests through $this->api->db->query(), but in practice it is never used.
Instead framework provides you with db->dsql() which will return a stand-alone class. The class called dynamic query. It's similar to queries in Zend framework, however implementation is much more powerful and allows to do updates, deletes, inserts and can potentially be extended for other operations.
A common use would be
// no product exists
dsql() is simply a query building engine. You can use dsql->select(), dsql->update() to generate a safe SQL code, in case you want to use fetch(). Agile Toolkit always relies on dynamic queries – all objects. This allows you to have a code like this if($_GET['q'])$grid->dq->where('name',$_GET['q']); Framework will encode element properly. Query used by the grid will be altered only if argument was passed. Notice that you can also do joins, grouping, ordering and more.
Sending emails
Email parser relies on functionality of SMlite template engine and provides a easy-to-use wrappers. Often mail body will be stored in the text file and in many cases it will be supplied in both text and html.
When you use TMail, you use set() to define to, from, and as well as signature, and parts of the message body. The whole class tries to fit requirements of a modern web app out of the box, while remaining quite simple and transparent.

What is Burnishing Balls or Ballizing? It is a metal-displacement process, in which an oversize ball is pushed through an undersize hole.
There was a problem providing the content you requested
The ball expands the hole by displacing an amount of material equal to the interference fit. The ball displaces metal by plastic flow leaving a layer of denser metal on the ID wall. In some materials, the ID is work hardened by cold-work ballizing, and wear life of the Balliizng wall increases.
Burnishing in manufacturing There are several forms of burnishing processes, the most common are roller burnishing and ball burnishing ballizing. In both cases, a burnishing tool rubs against the workpiece and plastically deforms its surface. The workpiece proccess be at ambient temperature, or heated to reduce the forces and wear on the tool. The tool is usually hardened and coated with special materials to increase its life.
Ball burnishing, burnishing balls, or ballizing, is a replacement for other bore finishing operations such as grinding, honing, or polishing. A ballizing tool consists of one or more over-sized balls that are pushed through a hole. The tool is similar to a broach, but provess of cutting away material, it plows it out of the way.
Ball burnishing is also used as a deburring operation. It is especially useful for removing the burr in the middle of a through hole that was drilled from both sides.
Roller burnishing, or surface rolling, is used on cylindrical, conical, or disk shaped workpieces. The tool resembles a roller bearing, but the rollers are fixed so they slide against the workpiece surface instead of rolling. It is simultaneously rotated and pressed into the workpiece. Typical applications for roller burnishing include hydraulic system components, shaft fillets, and sealing surfaces.
Burnishing balls also occurs to some extent in machining processes. In turning, burnishing occurs if the cutting tool is not sharp, if a large negative rake angle is used, if a very small depth of cut is used, or if the workpiece material is gummy.
As a cutting tool wears, it becomes more blunt and the burnishing effect becomes more pronounced. In grinding, since the abrasive grains are randomly oriented and some are not sharp, there is always some amount of burnishing.
This is one reason the grinding is less efficient and generates more heat than turning. Results you can depend on The results of burnishing balls are predictable and nearly foolproof. This compares favorably to most reaming and grinding operations.
Industrial Tectonics, precision ball manufacturer, offers balls in a variety of sizes and tolerances. We can help you determine the type of ball you need, taking into consideration your workpiece and the degree of precision you require.
Ballizing, ball burnishing with tungsten carbide balls | ITI Ball
Because ballizing uses only a precision ball for sizing and finishing, and not a complex tool assembly, small holes often are easier to ballize than to grind, hone, or roller burnish. In fact, you can ballize a hole as small as 0.
Defective parts are almost impossible profess produce. Consequently, the process lends itself to automation. Please contact us for more information or you may get a custom quote online for your burnishing ball or ball burnishing questions or needs.

Axle Position Histogram
The Axle Position Histogram is a histogram of inter-axle spacings within vehicles. This report will usually have a characteristic shape corresponding to common axle spacings, making it an extremely useful tool for verifying data quality.
The Axle Position Histogram can be characterised by:
 1. A group of spikes representing the most common passenger vehicles, and light trucks.
 2. Spikes corresponding to the double and triple axle groups of heavy vehicles (for datasets containing a noticeable percentage of these vehicles).
 3. Smaller spikes corresponding to the longer inter-axle spans in heavy vehicles, such as buses.
 Axle Position Histogram Sample
 Axle Position Histogram Sample
The Axle Position Histogram can be used to check for:
 - matching sensor length, and
 - correct sensor spacing.
Characteristic spikes in the histogram can be checked against known good data from the same area. If these spikes deviate in position by a significant amount, one of these problems may exist, and speed and classification should be considered suspect for this dataset.
For example, it is possible to target the double axle group on the back of an articulated truck, which is usually one of a few standard distances apart. Selecting Properties from the report's right-click menu will display the axle spacings filter.
Inter-axle spacings
Inter-axle spacings
Selecting SP4 in this case will display only the spacings between axles four and five. Note also the X-axis scale can be modified to increase resolution.
Filtering should create a few clearly defined spikes that can be verified using the cross-hairs. Again, deviation from known values may indicate a sensor installation problem.
Filtered Axle Position Histogram
Filtered Axle Position Histogram
For bidirectional data with a suspected problem, it is possible to distinguish between different sensor length and incorrect spacing. Different sensor length will result in spacings that are too short in one direction, and too long in the other. If filtering for one direction using the report Profile's direction filter moves the Axle Position Histogram left or right, this indicates different sensor length. If the report is unmoved, then incorrect spacing is the likely cause.

The "Cleveland Circle" line is the second of the three lines that separate west of Kenmore. This line travels on the surface of Beacon Street through Brookline. The C Line stations are primarily named for the cross-streets of Beacon Street. These are a few of the notable ones:
- Coolidge Corner (Coolidge Corner, Brookline, Beacon and Harvard Streets)
- Washington Square (Washington Square, Brookline, Beacon and Washington Streets)
- Cleveland Circle (Cleveland Circle, Brighton, Beacon Street and Chestnut Hill Avenue; in easy walking distance of the B Line's Chestnut Hill Ave station, and the D Line's Reservoir station)
The "Highland Branch" is the third of the three lines that separate west of Kenmore. It is named for the Highland Branch railroad line from the 19th century upon whose right-of-way it was built. It travels parallel to and south of Beacon Street through Brookline and Newton.
The Newton Centre and Newton Highlands stations still feature classic station houses from the early 20th century. The Newton Centre station was renovated into shops in the 1980s, but the Newton Highlands station is not actively used.

- Riverside (Grove Street, Newton, exit 22 off I-95, named for the Charles River)
The "Arborway" line diverges from the other three lines just west of Copley. It travels mainly on the surface of Huntington Avenue, emerging from its subway just west of the Symphony Hall station.
- Prudential (Huntington Ave, Back Bay, Boston, serving the Prudential Center)
- Symphony (Massachusetts and Huntington Aves, Boston, serving Symphony Hall)
- Northeastern University (Huntington Ave and Opera Place, Boston, serving Northeastern University)
- Museum of Fine Arts (Huntington Ave and Ruggles St, Boston, serving the Museum of Fine Arts)
- Longwood Medical Area (Huntington and Longwood Ave, Boston)
- Brigham Circle (Huntington Ave and Francis Street, Boston; private right-of-way ends south of here)
- Fenwood Street (Huntington Ave and Fenwood Street, Boston)
- Mission Park (Huntington Ave and Mission Park, Boston)
- Riverway (South Huntington and Huntington Aves, Boston)
- Back of the Hill (South Huntington Ave, Boston)
- Heath Street (Heath Street, Boston)
Train service originally ran on the E Line beyond Heath Street to Arborway, but service was "temporarily" replaced in 1985 by the number 39 bus. Pursuant to environmental mitigation commitments made by the state regarding the Central Artery/Tunnel Project, service south of Heath Street is supposed to resume as soon as the tracks and overhead wiring are reconstructed and a sufficient number of low-floor streetcars are available to operate the service.
Older trains have a red diagonal line through the E on the rollsign, which dates from an early streetcar practice of using that to signify a short-turn route. Since the E with a slash is on the same panel as Heath Street, it must be used, even though the E has ended at Heath Street for a long time.

Hence, information on morbidity profile of the population is essential for planning its health care facilities. Therefore, the present study was undertaken on the morbidity pattern among geriatric population in the field practice area of RHTC, Achrol. Material and method: The present study is a community based cross-sectional study. Study population included all the elderly persons of 60 years and above age group, residing in the field practice area of RHTC Achrol. Result: This study showed that almost half of the elderly i.e. 47.7% had normal gait & stability and out of them majority i.e. 85.3% belonged to 60 to 64 years of age group, while the proportion of elderly having normal but slow and limited physical activity was found to increase significantly (p<0.05) with age i.e. from 14.8% & 0.0% respectively in age group 60 to 64 years to 42.8% and 57.1% respectively in >80 age group. Conclusion: It was found that higher proportion of females i.e. 53.6% than males i.e. 51.4% had gait disturbances (p>0.05).

Microsoft KB Archive/101594
From BetaArchive Wiki
PRB: Ampersand Displays as Underscore in Popup
ID: Q101594
The information in this article applies to:
 - Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.6 and 2.6a
After you create a popup from an array that has strings as elements, if a element has an ampersand (&) in the string's text, the ampersand displays as "_" (an underscore) instead of "&" in the selected item box of the popup. For example, if the array element was "TEST1 & TEST2", it would display in the selected item box as "TEST1 _TEST2" when selected.
This behavior is caused by a feature of Windows. In Windows, an ampersand indicates that the next character should be underlined; therefore, this behavior also occurs in FoxPro for Windows.
To display an ampersand in Windows, you have to use two ampersands (for example, && Text). However, this workaround cannot be used in FoxPro because a double ampersand indicates that the following text is a comment and FoxPro should ignore the rest of the line, which usually generates a syntax error.
The best resolution for this is not to use ampersands in popups, whether from arrays or lists. The reason for this is that the behavior of some of the workarounds is unreliable and unpredictable.
One workaround that could be acceptable for short popups is to create the popup from a list.
To do this, initialize a variable in the Setup code for each item that needs to contain an ampersand, and then put the variable in the prompt for the popup using macro substitution. For example, in the Setup code, place this line of code:
 myvar="TEST1 &"+"& TEST2"
And in the popup prompt's list, enter the variable preceeded by an ampersand(for macro substitution)
Items in the list that do not contain ampersands do not need to be placed in variables. The problem with this resolution is that the items on the list show two ampersands, not just one. But the display value just shows one. Both ampersands get stored to the popup's variable. There is not a good solution for this issue if the popup is from an array and some of the array elements contain text with ampersands. Changing these elements as above can be tried.
Steps to Reproduce Problem
1. From the File menu, choose New, select Screen, and then choose
2. After the Screen Builder is displayed, choose Layout from the
 Screen menu.
3. In the Screen Layout dialog box, select Code under Options, and
 then choose Screen Setup Code.
4. Enter the following screen Setup code:

 test(1)="TEST1 & TEST2"
 test(2)="TEST3 & TEST4"
5. Select the Popup tool from the toolbox and place a popup on the
6. In the Popup dialog box, select Array Popup and type "test"
 (without the quotation marks).
7. In the Variable box, type "x" (without the quotation marks), and
 then choose OK.
8. From the Program menu, choose Generate. 9. Save the changes as ZTEST.SCX.
10. After ZTEST.SPR has been generated, type the following command in
 the Command window:
 DO ztest.spr
11. Select TEST3 & TEST4 from the popup. Note that it displays as
 TEST3 _TEST4.

There are two separate passwords. Activate the robots by using the yellow console, and then pay attention to which of the robot eyes are lit up. Match the letters on the [FILE: POSTER WITH AN EYE ON IT] that correspond to the robot eyes that are glowing, then do the same for the letters that correspond to the eyes that are NOT glowing. The top row of letters refers to the robots on the top side of the room (according to [FILE: ROUGH SKETCH OF THE ROOM]) and the bottom row of letters correspond to the robots on the other side of the room. It will help if you try and consider the robots as seen from the center of the room.

Aquatine lemurian calcite is a calcium carbonate mineral with a trigonal crystal system and a hardness of 3. It is typically a pale to a deep blue-green Calcite from a remote region of Argentina.
Aquatine Lemurian Calcite gets its name from its affinity to the element of water, and to the water-oriented civilization of Lemuria. Whether a physical or etheric place, Lemuria was a realm of the watery qualities—intuition, dreaming, feeling and visionary consciousness.
ALC deeply nourishes the emotional body. It is a strong antidote to stress, fear, worry and anxiety about the future. It soothes and replenishes the etheric body. It enhances dream life and facilitates lucid dreaming. It is ideal for opening up one's capacity for recalling past lives, ancient knowledge and tuning in to the morphic fields of the Earth's past. Those who wish to communicate with whales and dolphins can be aided by Aquatine Lemurian Calcite's capacity to enhance telepathic abilities.
It increases conscious sensitivity through one's energy field. It helps increase awareness of spirit guides and angelic guardians, and allows for easier communication.
ALC has a cooling, pacifying, calming effect on the emotional body. It has the frequency of a mother singing a lullaby or lovingly caressing her child.


Thread profiling in Python - Amjith Ramanujam
Tags: django, djangocon, python
Amjith Ramanujam recently wrote a thread profiler in Python and it was rediculously simple. He works for New Relic, which is all about performance and expecially performance measuring.
Python comes with batteries included, so it also includes a C profiler that works pretty well. But it doesn't work nice for django because the output is so huge. If you use the GUI RunSnakeRun, it is more managable that way.
Additional problem with cProfile: it has about 100% overhead, so you can't run it in production (which they need).
You can do more targeted profiling. For instance in Django. The way a web framework processes requests is normally always in the same way. You can use that during profiling.
There are two important stages: interrupt and inquire.
A statistical profiler looks how often a function is called and by who. For this it needs to interrupt the regular process. You could set an OS-level signal to call your profiler every x miliseconds so that it can do something. It only works in linux, btw. Another way is to create a python background thread that wakes up every x miliseconds. It is cross-platform and mod_wsgi compatible. It is less accurate for CPU tasks and it cannot interrupt C extensions.
You can use sys._current_frames() to get yourself the frames ("stack trace") from the current thread. Here you can extract the filename, line number and so of the most interesting frames. He's building a "call tree" structure, mapping how often a function is called, preserving the parent/child relation between functions. The tricky part was visualizing it :-) In the end they did it with d3.js.
There's some 3% overhead in the thread approach, so that's real good. They can switch it on for a type of request and it'll profile the next 100 requests of that type.

How it is preserved
ASI started using fuller's earth with a mixture of aluminium silicate and magnesium trisilicate to remove tarry/greasy particulate matter in 1984. Today, ASI claims it has stopped using harmful chemicals and only adds glycerol, cellosolve and sodium bicarbonate to the mud pack in summers to ensure that it does not dry out fast.
An alkaline solution of ammonia is used to clean the red sandstone. ASI uses a special biocidal treatment for the sandstone portions that are hidden from sun and gather moss and algae because of humidity. Preservatives are also used to increase the longevity of the stone.
Stones of the inlay work are replaced if they get damaged or broken. Earlier, artisans were chosen through a tender system. The process was discontinued after it drew criticism because the lowest cost did not assure quality work. ASI now hires artisans based on their craftsmanship, but still has no guidelines for hiring them.
Sandstone floors are in a more precarious condition than the marble floors because of their high porosity that locks moisture inside. As a result, the red sandstone floors are chipping at many places. ASI has put barricades near the Mehman Khana to stop visitors from stepping on them.
Wooden stairs have been added to decrease the pressure on marble floors and staircases and avoid wear and tear. The monument was constructed to take the weight of 30-40 people at a time. Today, over 10 million tourists visit it annually and the footfall is wearing out the walkways of its garden and the floors of its terraces.

Elevation: 7,736 feet
Type: Gold, Silver
Discovered on June 2, 1903, by William Hill, John A. Anderson, and Bert Ferguson, and patented on August 21, 1935, the Marietta mine explores two veins: the Marietta vein, which trends slightly northeast, dips east 350 to 400 and is 2 to 2.5 ft thick, and the Metallic vein, which strikes N 450 E, 350-500 SE and is about 5 ft thick. The same veins or vein systems appear to be explored in the Irene, High Up, and Greenback mines to the northeast. They are lenticular quartz veins, with quartz boudins and free gold, auriferous pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and stibnite (?). The mine developed separate ore shoots on the two veins, with strike lengths of 300 to 350 ft, and stopes reaching 200 to 300 ft above the crosscuts and drifts on the veins. The veins were oxidized to a depth of about 300 ft. In 1938, average assays of the ore ranged from $9 Au per ton to $10.79 Au per ton. Assays of ore remaining in the mine in 1938 averaged 0.21 to 0.34 opt Au and 1.2 to 3.7 opt Ag.
The Marietta and Metallic veins were mined separately. The Marietta vein is opened by an east-to southeast-trending crosscut that intersected the vein at the 740-ft point, and drifts were run on the vein for about 460 ft north and 100 ft south. A stope about 400 ft long and 120 to 160 ft high was mined mainly above the north drift. An inclined winze about 75 ft deep was sunk on the vein near the crosscut entrance, and drifts run 140 ft on the vein at the 70-ft level.
The Metallic vein was cut in the Marietta crosscut about 160 ft beyond the Marietta vein, and drifts were run along it for 720 ft to the northeast and 690 ft to the southwest. The vein was stoped 60 to 80 ft above the northeast drift for a length of about 150 ft, and a raise extended to the surface. A winze was also sunk about 195 ft on the incline near the southwest end of the drift, and levels and stopes extended to both the northwest and the southeast on the vein at the 110-ft and 195-ft levels, totaling about 300 ft on each level. Another winze was sunk about 95 ft beneath the 195 level, but the vein at this level was not developed.
The Metallic vein also was intersected in an adit that crosscut about 100 ft to the vein. A drift was run along the vein about 270 ft to the northwest, and the vein was stoped to the surface. The total production from the Marietta mine is unknown. The mine was a significant producer from 1919 to 1922 and in the 1930s (figs. 19,20). Its last known production was in 1938. From 1935 to 1938, the mine yielded 25,332 tons of ore valued at more than $200,000. Most of this ore came from the stopes on the Metallic vein where it is cut in the Marietta crosscut, and from the stope to the surface in the Metallic adit. The total yield from the mine is probably between $400,000 and $500,000.

The Real Reason There's An Absorbent Pad In Meat Packages
When you buy meat, you've likely noticed the pad that comes in the packaging, and you've thrown it away without giving it any thought other than trying not to drip meat juice all over yourself, the floor, or the counter. However, the pad actually does serve an important purpose.
The reason it's there is not surprising — it's to soak up liquids from the meat or poultry to prevent them from pooling in the package. This serves multiple purposes. For one, it makes the cooking process less messy, which is important for hygiene in the home (via MyRecipes). It is also a food safety measure. The liquids from meat, unappetizingly referred to as "purge," can contain bacteria, and by absorbing the liquids, it prevents as much live bacteria as possible from leaking, as well as preserving the meat or poultry because the liquid would otherwise cause more bacteria to grow. This would increase the risk of foodborne illnesses (via My Fearless Kitchen).
What is the pad made of?
The absorbent pads are made from specific forms of paper with a plastic liner, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the agency in charge of the production, packaging, and safety standards of food made in the United States.
The packaging is regulated and overseen by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure that it doesn't contain harmful chemicals. Every piece of material that goes into meat or poultry packaging has to be individually petitioned and approved by the agency before it can be put into the pack with meat (via USDA).
The pads are made from silica gel, purified sand, or from cellulose, which is a purified plant fiber. The pads are then coated in a non-toxic, perforated plastic wrap, which allows the liquid to seep into the pad and remain there, sort of like the wicking fabric in workout clothing holds the sweat off your body so wet clothes aren't against your skin.
Is this absorbent pad safe?
As a result of the regulatory process, these pads that can hold up to 40 grams of liquid are generally safe. While eating the absorbent pad is obviously not recommended, if you find that it sticks to your meat and you accidentally cook it, so long as the pad isn't melted, torn, or broken open after the meat has been cooked, the meat is still safe to eat. Any bacteria that may have lingered on the pad would have been killed during the cooking process. Just remove the remaining bits and enjoy your meal.
Even if you do accidentally ingest a piece of the pad, it isn't digestible so it should move straight through your digestive tract without breaking down so you will likely be fine though best to try to avoid it in the first place.


Why do most landlords conduct regular building inspections in Melbourne?
The recent researches have proven that the number of landlords who carry out regular building inspection has greatly increased. However, there are still some landlords out there who think that inspecting their buildings is very expensive and they do not want to waste their money conducting the inspection. The truth is that it is essential as a landlord to conduct regular building inspections since at the end of the day; they are the people who will benefit from the inspection. Some of the people will wonder how the building inspections will benefit them, yet they will have to pay some money. However, if you get to talk to any landlord who has been conducting building inspections, they will tell you that they like it and that they are not wasting their money. In case there are landlords out there who want to find the goodness in building inspections, this article will discuss the reasons why they should also be among those conducting building inspections in Melbourne.
1. It ensures that you are aware of the conditions of your buildings.
Most of the landlords have so many buildings that they have rented to people, and because they do not live in those houses, it is very hard for them to know about the conditions of their buildings. For this reason, building inspections in Melbourne gives the landlords a chance to know the conditions of their houses even without living in them. The only thing that helps them know whether the ceiling, the floor, tiles, drainage systems and also lighting are in the right conditions are the building inspections. This is why most of the landlords will conduct the inspections regularly so that they can always have an understanding of their property.
2. To budget for repairs.
Repairs also require to be budgeted for like the other investments. For this reason, most landlords in Melbourne will conduct building inspections for them to know which sections of their buildings require repairs so that they can budget for the repairs. It also enables them to ensure that they have done the repairs as early as possible and to avoid at all costs repairing them when it is too late for them since it will require more money and time to complete the repairs.
3. Building inspections attract more buyers.
Have you been wondering why other landlords have more tenants than you? Then one of the reasons is that they conduct regular building inspections, but you do not. Another reason why most landlords in Melbourne will conduct building inspections is to ensure that they have attracted as many tenants as possible. The number of tenants wanting to stay in your building will increase since they will have faith in you that there are no pests in your building, no defects and if the building has errors, you will work on them and lastly that their families will be safe in your building. However, if you do not conduct the inspection, the tenant will not trust whatever you tell them about your building since they have never seen you conducting inspections.
4. To find out the value of the building.
There are other times that landlords wish to sell their buildings. Without knowing the value of your building, it will be very difficult for you to sell the building at the right cost. For this reason, some landlords conduct building inspections to ensure that they know the real value of the building.
5. To ensure that they have insured their building.
For you to insure your building, you must ensure that you have done building inspections. For this reason, the landlords who need insurance covers for their buildings must conduct building inspections and work on the issues found during the inspection for the insurance company to accept insuring them. Gallo Property Inspection offer building inspections in Melbourne. They are glad to assist building owners and landlords.

Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba)
Meadowfoam is a small, herbaceous winter-spring annual. The seven species are all native to coastal and adjoining regions of western North America, where they typically grow in marshy habitats, such as the margins of vernal pools.
The white meadowfoam Limnanthes alba is of commercial interest for its oil, while several other species are rare or endangered. Honey produced by bees that pollinate Limnanthes alba has the distinct flavor of toasted marshmallows.
The oil valued for its highly moisturizing and rejuvenating skin benefits is resistant to oxidation due to naturally occurring tocopherols.
The seeds contain 20-30% oil. Meadowfoam seed oil is extraordinarily stable, primarily because it contains over 98% long chain fatty acids (eicosenoic acid C20:1 - 61%, docosenoic acid C22:1 - 16% and docosadienoic acid C22:2 - 18% ). Meadowfoam oil is most similar to rapeseed oil. It is widely used in cosmetic and hair-care applications due to its stability, emolliency and smooth, soft skin feel.

Become an Interior Architect: Step-by-Step Career Guide
Research the requirements to become an interior architect. Learn about the job description and duties, and read the step-by-step process to start a career as an interior architect.
Requirements for a Career as an Interior Architect
Interior architects might work for architectural firms or other companies that design hospitals, offices, homes or schools; they also might be self-employed. Interior architects prepare drawings of interior spaces and might even design the furniture that will be used in those spaces. Although the work of interior architects sometimes overlaps with that of interior designers, the fields are not the same. In all states, interior architects must be licensed as architects, while certification or licensure for interior designers is only required in some states. The chart below covers the basic skills, training and licensure necessary to work as an interior architect:
|Degree Level||Professional architecture degree from an accredited school, commonly a 5-year bachelor's degree or a master's degree*|
|Licensure/Certification||All states require architects to be licensed; certification is voluntary*|
|Experience||A 1-3 year internship is usually required prior to licensure*; some employers prefer candidates with 5-10 years of experience***|
|Key Skills||Visualization, analytical, critical-thinking, communication and organizational skills*; knowledge of engineering, technology, public safety, building and construction**|
|Computer Skills||Able to use computer-aided design, query, photo editing, graphics, document management and project management software programs**|
Sources: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), **O*NET OnLine, ***CareerBuilder.com job postings (November 2012).
Step 1: Earn a Bachelor's or Master's Degree
All states require architects to be licensed. To become licensed, an individual must graduate from a program accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). Bachelor's and master's degree programs in interior architecture are available; however, these programs are usually not accredited by NAAB, and therefore can't prepare an individual for licensure.
Accredited bachelor's degree programs in architecture are commonly offered as a Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) and last five years. Topics of study might include urban design, technology, interior architecture, physics, architectural math and the history of architecture. The curriculum of these programs often includes both lectures and design studios.
Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) programs require 1-2 years of study and are usually designed for students who possess a bachelor's degree in a field other than architecture. These programs might address environmental systems, computer-aided design and drafting, urban determinants and methods of construction. Instruction is often delivered through lectures and design studios. Some M.Arch. programs are combined with B.Arch. programs; these generally last 5-6 years.
- Complete courses related to interior architecture. Students who plan to work as interior architects often can choose electives related to this specialty. These courses might explore topics like lighting or building materials.
Step 2: Complete an Internship
Most states require that applicants for architect licensure have completed the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) Intern Development Program (IDP). This program mandates completion of a 5,600-hour paid internship.
- Prepare for the Architect Registration Examination (ARE). The NCARB offers study guides and practice exams to individuals intending to take the ARE. These materials might help an individual pass the ARE on his or her first try.
Step 3: Pass the Architect Registration Exam
Most states require that aspiring architects pass NCARB's ARE to become licensed. This exam can only be taken after an individual has completed the internship requirement. It consists of seven areas, including site planning and design, building systems and schematic design. Continuing education is required to renew architecture licensure. Depending on the state, renewal might be annual or biennial.
Step 4: Earn Professional Certification
Architects can apply for voluntary NCARB certification once they've earned state licensure. In addition to holding a license, candidates must have completed an NAAB-accredited bachelor's or master's degree program and the IDP and passed the ARE. NCARB certification must be renewed annually. The BLS notes that certification may ease the transition of licensing across states.
Architects with 'green' construction or design experience also might pursue one of the multiple Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certifications available through the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED credentials must be renewed every two years by completing 15 hours of continuing education.

This one simple tip could potentially save your house $$$
Flexible braided pipes are responsible for more than 20% of home water damage claims in just Australia alone.
The flexi hose is a plumbing connection from the water main to major appliances and sinks to replace copper pipes. These hoses are also used on toilets to replace the copper pipe connecting water from the stop tap to the cistern.
Flexi pipes are very versatile and are often used to save time and money, however long term it could potentially cause a lot of issues, leading to major damage to your home, such as leaks, ruptures and flooding.
Due to these flexi pipes only having a shelf life of 5-10 years, regular maintenance should be carried out. A homeowner can easily check for themselves by visually inspecting for freys, corrosion and general wear and tear.
If anything looks suspicious, it's important to call a suitably qualified plumber for correct maintenance and replacement.
As a general rule flexible pipes should be replaced every 5-10 years depending on the brand. They should be watermarked and compliant with relevant standards: AS/NZS 3499

Create your own face tracking, pan and tilt camera on the Raspberry Pi!
This tutorial will demonstrate use of the OpenCV (computer vision) library to identify and track faces on the raspberry pi using two servos and a USB webcam. For the interested, I previously covered a more thorough overview of the installation of OpenCV from source here, however, I have found that the apt package is sufficient for all but the most bleeding edge of projects.
This project is based on the OpenCV face tracking example that comes along with the source-based distribution. In short, it performs face detection using haar-like features to analyze the video frame, and locates any faces present within it. In the live video window, identified faces are surrounded with a red rectangle. For additional information about how face detection works as well as the specifics of face detection with OpenCV, I recommend this article by Robin Hewitt.
Using the coordinates of the rectangle vertices, my script calculates the (X,Y) position of the center of the face. If the face is sufficiently on the left side of the screen, the pan servo will progressively rotate leftward, on the right side, rightward. This is likewise performed for the tilt servo as well, if the face is in the upper portion of the screen, it will pan upward, in the lower portion, pan downward. If the face is detected reasonably within the center of the image, no action is performed by the servos. This prevents unnecessary jitter once the camera has locked itself on the face.
- 512 MB raspberry pi
- 2x Hobby servos (Turnigy 9g fom Hobby King)
- Pan & tilt bracket (from Foxtech FPV)
- USB webcam (Microsoft LifeCam Show from Amazon)
- Power supply
- Hook-up wire
- Raspberry Pi enclosure (from Built to Spec)
Connect the red, power lines of the servos to +5v, the black ground lines to GND, and the yellow signal lines to the desired output pins, GPIO pins 22 and 23 in the example. Here is a diagram of the completed circuit (created with Fritzing):
And here is how it looks all put together:
Get the source.
The first step of this procedure is to install the required libraries and packages using the Raspberry Pi package manager. Open up terminal shell and run:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git python-opencv python-all-dev libopencv-dev
This command will pull down all of the required packages (about 215 MB worth) including the git version control system, as well as the OpenCV development headers and Python bindings. The next step is to configure the Raspberry Pi for use with multiple pulse width modulation (PWM) outputs. Normally, the Raspberry Pi has only one channel of PWM output. However, thanks to the efforts of Richard Hirst, eight channels of PWM can be used through the use of this servoblaster kernel driver.The driver creates a device file, /dev/servoblaster to which commands can be sent to control the servos. The commands take the form "=" with servo number representing the desired servo (0-7 in this case) and servo position representing the pulse width in units of 10 µs. For example, to send servo 3 a pulse width of 120 µs: echo 3=120 > /dev/servoblaster To configure the servoblaster on the Raspberry Pi, first pull down the sources from Richard's Github repo:
git clone _URL_
Then change into the servo blaster directory, and install the module:
This command also sets up the necessary udev rules for accessing the /dev/servoblaster device. Note: using the 'install_autostart ' command will set up a Raspberry Pi to load the servoblaster kernel module on every boot. If you don't want this behavior, execute 'make install' instead. In either case, the module will not yet be loaded so go ahead and load it into the kernel using modprobe:
sudo modprobe servoblaster
Now that all the prerequisites have been installed and the servo blaster device configured, it's time to get the actual face tracking and servo moving code. Clone my repo from Github here:
git clone _URL_
Now change directory into the created folder, and run the script like this:
python./facetracker_servo_gpio.py 0
If you have a different servo bracket configuration, the pan and tilt axis may need to be inverted. To do so, invert the sign on the values of panStepSize and tiltStepSize. Similarly, increasing or decreasing these values will change the sensitivity of the movement, larger numbers corresponding to more degrees moved per face detection frame.
Google Talk/Chat/Messenger is normally used by humans to interact with other humans. However, its underlying technology can also be used as a mechanism to implement software robots. Internet bots, also known as web robots, WWW robots or simply 'bots' can also utilize the technology to perform automated functions over the web. There are many such bots in existence, offering a diverse spectrum of services from jokes (_EMAIL_) to URL Shortening using bit.ly (_EMAIL_), even mathematical calculation (_EMAIL_). Using such bots is quick and easy to configure, all that must be done is to add the bot as a contact to your messaging account. Then, whenever you desire data from the service, simply text the command to the bot and it will respond with the respective message.
The Raspi Bot is essentially the same as any other automated Internet robot. To configure it, it must first have its own e-mail address associated with a Google talk account. This e-mail address must also be added as a contact with the account that wishes to communicate to the bot. Then, whenever the script is running on the remote machine, it will log into Google chat and appear as a friend in your contact list.
The software itself is essentially just a Python daemon script that is a wrapper around the XMPP protocol. When executed, the script will sign in to Google talk using its own username and password. The Python script is derived from the open source project pygtalkrobot: An open source python gtalk(google talk) bot framework using XMPPPY and PyDNS libraries, that also references the source code of python-jabberbot.
The Raspi Bot requires several additional Python modules for use. The easiest way to install these is with the python pip package manager. If you don't have it installed, you can install them using apt-get:
sudo apt-get install python-pip git-core python2.7-dev
Then update the easy_install index:
sudo easy_install -U distribute
And install the GPIO, xmpppy, and pydns modules:
sudo pip install RPi.GPIO xmpppy pydns
Then clone my repo for the Raspi Gtalk robot:
git clone _URL_
Now change into the newly created directory:
Finally, you will need to configure the Raspi Bot's Gtalk username and password. This is done by editing the fields BOT_GTALK_USER, BOT_GTALK_PASS, and BOT_ADMIN, on lines 31-33 in the raspiBot.py file. It is recommended, though not required, to give the Raspi Bot its own Gmail account. Since access to the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins is restricted, the script needs to be run with sudo:
sudo python./raspiBot.py
This basic sample script supports the following commands:
- [pinon|pon|on|high] [pin] : turns on the specified GPIO pin
- [pinoff|poff|off|low] [pin] : turns off the specified GPIO pin
- [write|w] [pin] [state] : writes specified state to the specified GPIO pin
- [read|r] [pin]: reads the value of the specified GPIO pin
- [available|online|busy|dnd|away|idle|out|xa] [arg1] : set gtalk state and status message to specified argument
- [shell|bash] [arg1] : executes the specified shell command argument after 'shell' or 'bash'
For example, sending the message "pinon 10″ will turn on GPIO pin #10, "read 8″ will read the current state of GPIO pin 8, or "bash ps" to execute the shell command 'ps'.
The video demonstration uses a slide switch connected to GPIO pin 8 and an LED connected to GPIO pin 10. Here is a diagram of how this is wired (created with Fritzing):
Use case #1: Home automation
One of the most obvious usages of this technology is for home automation purposes. The Raspi Bot can be accessed anywhere with Google talk, which to my understanding, is nearly every system in existence. Send the Raspi Bot messages to turn on and off lights and other electrical appliances.
This is also useful to provide immediate notification in the event of intrusion detection. The Raspi Bot can be supplemented with additional security sensors, including infrared motion, and ultrasonic distance sensors. If any pre-programmed sensor violates any predefined condition, you can be immediately notified via message from the Raspi Bot.
Use case #2: Remote shell
The Raspi Bot can be used essentially as a remote shell. In this configuration, every message sent to the Raspi Bot will be interpreted as a shell command with the output piped back to the user in the form of a response message. Obviously, this could raise some security concerns. To protect against misuse, the Raspi Bot will only respond to Google chat messages from the Google user designated as the


type to facilitate easy handling. The distinguishedname property is actually of the \[string\] type, but the object itself is embedded in the System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection, which is a collection or array of objects. No split method exists for this array object type, and invocation will fail unless you perform an explicit cast back to the \[string\] type.
You've Got the Power
You can use PowerShell commands to query AD to learn more about your Exchange organization. Then, rather than hard-coding the parameters for Exchange server and storage groups, you can construct a query using information gathered directly from AD. The more you work with PowerShell, the more you'll discover its potential to help you administer your messaging systems.

text: RailCab is a research project by the University of Paderborn, Germany. Its purpose is the examination of the use of linear engines for the propulsion of autonomous, rail mounted vehicles. Similar to the Transrapid the coaches are moved by linear motors, which have a very low need for maintenance. In contrast to Transrapid a magnetic field is only used for acceleration, the vehicles run on wheels on tracks. This concept allows for modification of existing conventional railway tracks.


text: Dust devil in convective boundary layer (CBL) was simulated by Euler-Lagrange approach. By means of large-eddy simulation method and smoothly stretched grid, flow fields of the small scale whirlwind were obtained. Movements of 20,000 dust particles were tracked by computing external forces and velocities with the aid of the simulated high-resolution air flow fields. Characteristics of the simulated airflow were in good accordance with field observations. Distribution of particles reproduced the shape of dust devil. Statistics of particle trajectories revealed basic properties of the movement of dust particles. Small particles with diameter of 0.04 mm were able to form a rolling cylinder and to be lifted easily to a certain height. 0.1 mm dust particles spiraled upwards like a cone with a small cone angle. Particles with diameters of 0.16 mm and 0.3 mm were obviously thrown outward with limited lifting height and fell back to the ground. The negative vertical pressure gradient in the dust devil strengthened particle lifting, unlike in the horizontal wind systems where the vertical pressure gradient isn't the major driving force. Numerical results showed why total suspended particulates (TSP) concentration exceeded the standard value greatly all the year round on the Loess Plateau, where the loess dust from the local ground was one of the major sources of air pollutants. 90% loess dusts were smaller than 0.04 mm in diameter, which made them easily lifted to a high altitude by dust devils even without obvious horizontal wind. Because thermal plumes are common in CBL, dust devils can occur frequently in multi-locations of the Loess Plateau. According to nature circumstances of the Loess Plateau and thermodynamic characteristics of dust devil, the dust-devil-scale simulation indicated one source of the background TSP on the Loess Plateau and how they were lifted into the atmosphere.

Luanda – Angolan historian Júlio Mendes defended on Friday in Luanda that the legacy of the poet and first President of Angola, António Agostinho Neto, needs a deeper research in order to pass them to future generations.
Júlio Mendes, who is also a lecturer at Higher Institute for Educational Sciences (ISCED),
defended this stand whilst addressing the workshop on "Agostinho Neto, national and foreign cultural values" at the auditorium of Oscar Ribas University.
To the historian, Neto's legacy, which will be studied, contains various aspects relating to his sacrifice to fight against the Portuguese colonialism that led to the country's independence, in November 11, 1975.
"Agostinho Neto used his poems to fight against colonialists and made people believe that it is possible to fight against slavery", he stressed.
About the poems "Sábados nos Musseques" and "Ansiedade", of the "Sacred Hope" book, the source said that they mainly portray the hardships of black people.
This workshop was organised under the activities to celebrate the National Hero's Day, September 17.

Here's some good news: if you've been arrested, your driver's license might not necessarily be suspended. Only certain kinds of offences will result in losing your license. However, that suspension might be permanent, depending on what you've done.
When Can Your License Be Suspended?
According to the paralegal firm Traffic Services, there are a number of reasons your license could be suspended. You might have neglected to pay traffic or parking tickets. It might be due to a medical reason. You could have exceeded your limit of demerit points. Or, your license could be suspended due to an alcohol related offence.
How Long Does a Driver's License Suspension Last?
The length of your driver's license suspension depends on the offence. Traffic Services notes that the first time you're caught driving with a suspended license, you'll receive a mandatory six month suspension above and beyond the original penalty. Driving without insurance might lead to a year long license suspension.
A first time impaired driving offence could lead to a prohibition on getting behind the wheel for a year, and if you're caught doing it again, you'll lose your license for three years. Refusing to provide a blood or breath sample can result in criminal charges. The charges are the same for an impaired driving offence, with an automatic one year suspension of your license.
Dangerous driving can also lead to losing your license, temporarily. Under the Canadian Criminal Code, "dangerous driving" is defined as driving over 80 kmh over the speed limit and/or in a fashion that puts other people's lives in danger. A dangerous driving conviction will lead to an automatic one year suspension. If someone sustains injuries as a result of your dangerous driving, that's referred to as "dangerous driving causing bodily harm" under the Criminal Code. You can lose your license for a year, and you might be imprisoned.
How Can I Get My License Back?
Each Canadian province or territory has different policy for driver's license reinstatement. You'll need to check with your province or territory's Ministry of Transportation to determine the exact process you need to undergo, as well as the fees you need to pay, in order to get your license back.
Doesn't a Record Suspension Mean My License is Reinstated?
Canadian Legal Resource Centre Inc., a paralegal firm, has some bad news for you on this front: a record suspension does not mean you can drive legally. A record suspension means your criminal offence no longer counts against you. It does not have the power to reinstate driver's licenses. Also, just because you've received a record suspension, your provincial or territorial MTO might not reinstate your license.
Will My License Suspension Affect Obtaining a Record Suspension?
There's some good news on this count: Canadian Legal Resource Centre explains that if your license was suspended as a result of the offence for which you're seeking a record suspension, it doesn't affect the waiting period to receive a record suspension. However, if your license is suspended during the waiting period, your record suspension could be denied.

Consider the case where you retrieve a list of many objects which have a status code attached. There may be many different status codes, and you need to fish through the list of codes and display the object differently, based on the priority. So for instance, an object may have many tasks attached, each of which has an associated priority. You need to display the object in a
certain manner depending on the outstanding task with the highest priority.
A combination of enums and PriorityQueues make this easy. Firstly, we can create an enum to represent the status codes for an outstanding item:
Next, we generate a random list of Status instances and add them to a PriorityQueue instance:
There are a couple of features that make this interesting:
- Java's Priority Queue implementation sorts by the results of
compareTo(). Hence, your candidate objects must implement
Comparable, and you need to write boilerplate comparison code. Except…
- …When you use an enum. Enums implement Comparable directly, and their comparison order is based on the order of declaration of the enumeration instances. Thus, you just need to declare your enumeration in order of priority (highest first), and let the queue handle the rest.
