(629am) Copper Based Plasmonic Catalyst for Efficient and Selective Epoxidation of Propene
Propylene oxide (PO) is a valuable commodity chemical to produce important products such as paints, cosmetics and adhesives, etc. It is commercially produced using liquid phase chlorohydrin or hydroperoxide routes. Each of these routes has inherent limitations owing to the undesired byproducts and high operating cost. Because of these limitations in the existing processes, the direct epoxidation of propylene to PO using a heterogeneous catalyst is the most desirable in view of environmental friendliness and operating costs, and it has been one of the most challenging tasks in catalysis. Additionally, the increasing energy demand in near future will force us to design chemical synthesis processes using renewable energy resources. Developing catalysts that can make use of renewable energy resources like solar energy to make desired valuable chemicals is of critical importance to meet this requirement.
In this contribution, we demonstrate that copper based catalyst exhibit high selectivity in epoxidation of propylene to form PO. We also demonstrate that copper nanostructure, characterized by strong plasmon resonance peak in the visible region, can be used to efficiently harvest visible light (with intensity on the order of solar intensity) and utilize it to drive propylene epoxidation at significantly lower temperature than the epoxidation under pure thermal conditions. Our current results show that copper can be used as highly selective and energy efficient catalyst for the direct epoxidation of propylene. These results gives an insight to design energy efficient catalytic processes with a significant fraction of energy input provided in the form of sunlight.

Data Quality Control procedures are important for:
- Detecting missing mandatory information
- Detecting errors made during the transfer or reformatting
- Detecting duplicates
- Detecting remaining outliers (spikes, out of scale data, vertical instabilities etc)
- Attaching a quality flag to each numerical value in order not to modify the observed data points
A guideline of recommended QC procedures has been compiled, reviewing NODC schemes and other known schemes (e.g. WGMDM guidelines, World Ocean Database, GTSPP, Argo, WOCE, QARTOD, ESEAS,SIMORC, etc.). The guideline at present contains QC methods for CTD (temperature and salinity), current meter data (including ADCP), wave data and sea level data. The guideline has been compiled in discussion with IOC, ICES and JCOMM, to ensure an international acceptance and tuning. Important feedback originated from the joint IODE/JCOMM Forum on Oceanographic Data Management and Exchange Standards (January 2008), joined by SeaDataNet and international experts to consider on-going work on standards and to seek harmonisation, where possible. Activities are now underway for extending the guideline with QC methods for surface underway data, nutrients, geophysical data, and biological data.
Furthermore a harmonised scheme of QC Flags to be used in SeaDataNet to label individual data values has been defined and adopted.This QC Flag scale is available in the SeaDataNet Common Vocabularies as list L20.
This activity is coordinated by BODC

Fuzzy Generalized Fractal Dimensions Using Inter-Heartbeat Interval Dynamics in ECG Signals for Age Related Discrimination
International Journal of Engineering & Technology
Fractal theory is the propelled technique to analyze the non-linear signals with more complexity. Quantification of chaotic nature and complexity of the multifaceted therapeutic signals requires the estimation of the spectrum of Generalized Fractal Dimensions (GFD) where the complexity means greater inconstancy in the general form of fractal dimension range. This paper has proposed a fuzzy multifractal technique to analyze the age related classifications by using the Fuzzy Generalized Fractal
... neralized Fractal Dimensions (F–GFD) with Gaussian fuzzy valued function through the cardiac inter-beat interval dynamics in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. It has been revealed that, the designed Fuzzy GFD method accurately categorizes the young and old age subjects by graphical comparison with the typical GFD method. The classification rate of young and elderly subjects has also supported statistically by ANOVA test. Hence the fuzzified multifractal analysis accomplishes significantly to discriminate age groups than the classical multifractal analysis in heartbeat rate time series from ECG signals and also the conventional GFD is a specific case of the proposed F–GFD.


One of the behavioral Visual Acuity analysis testperformed are the optokinetic response (OKR) test and OMR. From the analysis of this test, visual acuity and contrast sensitivity could be deduced. For the test, zebrafish larvae are immobilized in petri dishes above an infrared light. The light emitted rotating grating patterns around the larvae, and the patterns elicited eye movement, which was recorded in real time by an infrared-sensitive Camera.


23 Proven Health Benefits of Cilantro
Proven Health Benefits of Cilantro that you need know. Who doesnt know cilantro? Maybe we are more familiar with coriander seed but do you know that coriander and cilantro come from same plant. Cilantro or the leaves of Corriandum sativum plant that also known as chinese parsley. Cilantro is used in preparation of dish and it is usually consumed raw. Cilantro mostly use in salad, salsa or other American and South East Asian dish.

Benefits of Cilantro to Helps our urinary tract to stave off infections: Anti-bacterial in cilantro removes pathogenic bacteria inside urinary tract and fight against infection. Cilantro also acts as a natural diuretic and studied shown that cilantro significantly can boost body immune system and protect kidney from infections.
Benefits of Cilantro to As Expectorant in Cough treatment: Having problem with throat and cough, you can simply take the benefits of cilantro. The expectorant component in cilantro can reduce cough and throat problem. Just make some tonic from cilantro mixed with honey and lime, drink the tonic once a day it will get rid of your cough away.
Benefits of Cilantro to Controls Diabetes: Due to the stimulating effect of coriander on the endocrine glands, the secretion of insulin is increased from the pancreas which subsequently increases the insulin level in the blood.
This regulates the proper assimilation and absorption of sugar and the resulting drops in the sugar level in the blood. This property is extremely beneficial for patients who suffer from diabetes and other related conditions, in order to lower their chances of dangerous spikes and drops in their blood sugar levels and to ensure other normal metabolic functions as well.,
Benefits of Cilantro for Eye Care: Cilantro is loaded with antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin C, and minerals like phosphorous, all of which prevent vision disorders, macular degeneration, and reduce strain and stress on the eyes. There is also beta-carotene in the leaves, which prevents a number of other diseases that affect the eye and can even reverse the effects of vision degradation in aging patients.
Benefits of Cilantro to Prevent kidney stones: By eating cilantro we can prevent kidney stone and maintain healthy kidney. Some heavy components inside food or beverages is harmful for our body if they accumulated in body for long time and it can cause kidney damage which later can cause kidney stone. Cilantro is a natural cleaner of the kidney and let the kidney work best.
Benefits of Cilantro to Diarrhea: Some essential oil components in Cilantro leaves, such as Borneol dan Linalool, help our digestive system to perform better. It also increases our heart and stomach function.
Those two substances are effective for healing dairrhoea because the components such as Cineole, Borneol, Limonene, Alpha-pinene and beta-phelandrene have anti bacteria effect. Coriander leaves is also useful for preventing nausea and vomit.
Benefits of Cilantro to Preventing Insomnia: The content of fitonutrien and another substance in coriander leaves can balance the chemical substance in our body. These will make our nerves relax and bring us to deep sleep.

New research analyses maternal breastfeeding in Spain throughout the second half of the twentieth century. Experts believe that its development is associated with socio-demographic factors such as the advice of healthcare professionals, longer maternity leave, a woman's integration into the workplace and her level of education.
"Up until not long ago, maternal breastfeeding was vital for infant survival but things have changed in the second half of the twentieth century. This is mainly due to the arrival of artificial lactation," explains Juan Ramn Ordomaa, researcher at the University of Murcia, Spain and lead author of the study.
Published in the Journal of Human Lactation, the study analyses how maternal breastfeeding rates have evolved in the region of Murcia and, indeed, the rest of Spain, in recent decades and whether women who had children in the 1960's behaved in the same way as those who had children in the 1980's or 1990's.
The average time that a mother breastfeeds has changed over the studied period. Ordoana confirms that "what our results show is a U-shaped graph. Women breastfed for longer periods of time in the 1960's (61.3% for longer than six months) and 1990's (29% also for longer than six months) whereas the shortest periods occurred in the 1970's and 1980's (14.4% and 19.2% respectively).
Researchers studied 666 women who had been first time mothers from a period starting in the 1960's and ending in the 1990's. As well as gathering information on the child's diet, experts collected socio-demographic data with particular focus on the mother's educational attainment.
Ordoana outlines that "the effect of greater educational attainment on the duration of the breastfeeding period is not always the same and it very much depends on social context."
As such, women with medium and high educational attainment displayed drastically shorter breastfeeding periods at the beginning of the 1970

Stanfords Robotic Helicopters Teach Each Other New Tricks
Posted In: flight, helicopters, learning, rc, robot, Robotic, Stanford

Maybe you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but what about robot helicopters? A team of Stanford University geniuses have learned how to get a team of autonomous helicopters to fly better than the expert RC stunt pilot who "trained" them. The core of the system is a computer that analyzes data fed to it from instruments both on the 'copters and on the ground, and sends 20 instructions every second to the units in flight.
Previous attempts had autonomous helicopters trying to mimic the instructions an RC pilot would send, but due to the unpredictable nature of the wind, the result was stiff flying and potential crashes. Stanford's 'copters can "watch and learn," by analyzing the way a human operator reacts to his helicopter to keep it aloft during precise tricks, and then respond to changes in the air more fluidly.

Werner, J. (2020). The effect of reading literary fiction on theory of mind. The Young Researcher, 4 (1), 108-147.
Theory of Mind is the ability to make inferences about the mental states of others. A positive correlation was drawn between theory of mind and language. Studies have shown that reading literary fiction positively impacts Theory of Mind abilities in adults, but no research has delved into a focus on younger age groups. This study investigates whether reading literary fiction increases Theory of Mind abilities in children. A quasi experimental quantitative method was conducted using matched sampling. Paired T-tests were run to compare pre and post test scores. The results indicate that reading literary fiction may cause an increase in children's Theory of Mind abilities at least temporarily, emulating the effect it has in adults. This research is of relevance to the recent debates on the inclusion of fiction in school curriculums and emotional intelligence in business. Further research should be conducted to ensure a more representative population is tested; these findings can be used to inform future work in this area.
Keywords: Affective Theory of Mind (Theory of Mind), Cognitive Theory of Mind (Theory of Mind), literary fiction, emotional intelligence.

Because students are naturally inclined to read and write about topics that concern themselves and their experiences in the world, autobiography is an appealing genre to students. In reading autobiographical novels and essays, students can find realistic role models. In writing autobiographical essays, students can find a rhetorical method for self-reflection. In this sense, a unit on autobiography can prove to be a valuable teaching tool for students of all ages and ability levels. Esmeralda Santiago's novel When I Was Puerto Rican is an autobiography that traces Santiago's memoirs through her childhood in Puerto Rico and her transition from Puerto Rico to New York City. Her second memoir, Almost a Woman continues the spirited documentation of her adjustments and experiences as she grows up in New York City and attends the High School for Performing Arts. Santiago presents her work as an exploration of her search for identity and as a model for young people in their own search.
This curriculum unit is designed for an Advanced Placement (AP) English course for high school juniors, however it is easily adaptable to other secondary levels. The AP course is structured as an analysis of writing and rhetoric with an intense focus on preparation for the national Advanced Placement exam in language and composition, which students take in May. The main objectives of the unit are as follows. (1) Students will be able to identify and analyze and author's use of point of view. (2) Students will be able to identify and analyze the author's use of literary devices. (3) Students will be able to respond to the novel in terms of narrative style and technique as well as in relation to the novel's plot and themes.
(Recommended for English and AP English, grades 9-12.)

Title: Chiral dynamics and peripheral transverse densities
In the partonic (or light-front) description of relativistic systems the electromagnetic form factors are expressed in terms of frame-independent charge and magnetization densities in transverse space. This formulation allows one to identify the chiral components of nucleon structure as the peripheral densities at transverse distances b = O(M{sub {pi}}{sup -1}) and compute them in a parametrically controlled manner. A dispersion relation connects the large-distance behavior of the transverse charge and magnetization densities to the spectral functions of the Dirac and Pauli form factors near the two--pion threshold at timelike t = 4 M{ sub {pi}}{sup 2}, which can be computed in relativistic chiral effective field theory. Using the leading-order approximation we (a) derive the asymptotic behavior (Yukawa tail) of the isovector transverse densities in the "chiral" region b = O(M{sub {pi}}{sup -1}) and the "molecular" region b = O(M{sub N}{sup 2}/M{sub {pi}}{sup 3}); (b) perform the heavy-baryon expansion of the transverse densities; (c) explain the relative magnitude of the peripheral charge and magnetization densities in a simple mechanical picture; (d) include Delta isobar intermediate states and study the peripheral transverse densities in the large-N{ sub c} limit of QCD; (e) quantify the region of transverse distances where the chiral components more » of the densities are numerically dominant; (f) calculate the chiral divergences of the b{sup 2}-weighted moments of the isovector transverse densities (charge and anomalous magnetic radii) in the limit M{sub {pi}} -> 0 and determine their spatial support. Our approach provides a concise formulation of the spatial structure of the nucleon's chiral component and offers new insights into basic properties of the chiral expansion. It relates the information extracted from low-t elastic form factors to the generalized parton distributions probed in peripheral high-energy scattering processes. « less

Title: A thematic analysis of theoretical models for translational science in nursing: mapping the field.
Journal: Nurs Outlook 58(6):287-300
Date: 2010 Nov-Dec
Abstract: The quantity and diversity of conceptual models in translational science may complicate rather than advance the use of theory. This paper offers a comparative thematic analysis of the models available to inform knowledge development, transfer, and utilization. Literature searches identified 47 models for knowledge translation. Four thematic areas emerged: (1) evidence-based practice and knowledge transformation processes, (2) strategic change to promote adoption of new knowledge, (3) knowledge exchange and synthesis for application and inquiry, and (4) designing and interpreting dissemination research. This analysis distinguishes the contributions made by leaders and researchers at each phase in the process of discovery, development, and service delivery. It also informs the selection of models to guide activities in knowledge translation. A flexible theoretical stance is essential to simultaneously develop new knowledge and accelerate the translation of that knowledge into practice behaviors and programs of care that support optimal patient outcomes.

text: The basic requirement for the successful deployment of a mobile augmented reality application is a reliable tracking system with high accuracy. Recently, a helmet-based inside-out tracking system which meets this demand has been proposed for self-localization in buildings. To realize an augmented reality application based on this tracking system, a display has to be added for visualization purposes. Therefore, the relative pose of this visualization platform with respect to the helmet has to be tracked. In the case of hand-held visualization platforms like smartphones or tablets, this can be achieved by means of image-based tracking methods like marker-based or model-based tracking. In this paper, we present two marker-based methods for tracking the relative pose between the helmet-based tracking system and a tablet-based visualization system. Both methods were implemented and comparatively evaluated in terms of tracking accuracy. Our results show that mobile inside-out tracking systems without integrated displays can easily be supplemented with a hand-held tablet as visualization device for augmented reality purposes.

I'm working on a Hangman game in Python and I need user validation for the input, which I have made an attempt at, but I don't know why its not working.
My task was to have "error" messages for 1. empty input, 2. non-integer, non-empty input, 3. index out of range input. By index out of range, I mean that I am asking the user for an integer from 0-9 to select a word from the list already in the program.
def getLetterFromUser(totalGuesses):
 while True:
 userInput = input("\nPlease enter the letter you guess:")
 if userInput == '' or userInput =='':
 print("Empty input.")
 elif userInput in totalGuesses:
 print("You have already guessed that letter. Try again.")
 elif userInput not in 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz':
 print("You must enter an alphabetic character.")
 return userInput
For clarity's sake, the subsequent call to getLetterFromUser is in a while loop so that it repeatedly checks these conditions.
EDIT: I took out what didn't belong. Thank you. My problem, however, is that it still tells me the input isn't in alphabet, when it is. And the length of the input(a single char) is 2, which doesn't make sense unless it counts the null character.
share|improve this question
What problem or error are you experiencing? – Mr E Feb 15 '12 at 0:44
Why are you having the user select the word, and why is that option in the "Guess a letter" prompt loop? – Edwin Feb 15 '12 at 0:46
_USER_ My apologies, that if got pasted in there unknowingly. Disregard it, as it goes elsewhere. To others: the error I'm receiving is that no matter what I input, its never right. It usually says "You must enter an alphabetic character", to which I do. Also, I was curious so I checked the length of the input(a single character) and its ALWAYS 2. I don't know why. – trainreq Feb 15 '12 at 0:48
Your question seems related to How to handle both integer and string from raw_input? take look at it :) (obviously what was raw_input in python-2.x is now input in python-3.x) – Rik Poggi Feb 15 '12 at 0:55
In response to your edit, try print(repr(userInput)) to see what's really in there (it won't be a NUL character, those don't work the same way in Python as they do in C - in Python NUL is just another perfectly valid character). – Greg Hewgill Feb 15 '12 at 3:18

your problem is that some validation rules should take precedence over others. for example, if userInput is an empty string, what do you expect userInput < 0 to return? what if it's not empty but also not a number?
think about which conditions should be checked first. some functions you might want to read about and use:
"123".isdigit() # checks if a string represents an integer number
" 123 ".strip() # removes whitespaces at the beginning and end.
len("") # returns the length of a string
int("123") # converts a string to an int

Here are two things to start with:
what is the purpose of the line
userInput = userInput.lower()
If you are assuming the userInput is an integer.. You should try userInput=int(userInput). Integers have no.lower() method.
the next line
if 0 > userInput or userInput > 9
this assumes userInput is an integer (you are comparing to 0 and 9, not "0" and "9")
the following looks nicer:
if not 0<=userInput<=9
share|improve this answer
You say you want integer answers, but you are not casting the input to an int, but then you say that if the input is not in the alphabet, it should return an error message. You're asking for two different things.
Do you want the user to enter an integer or a character?
share|improve this answer
This may help you:
>>> int(" 33 \n")
>>> int(" 33a asfd")
Traceback (most recent call last):
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '33a asfd'
>>> try:
... int("adsf")
... except ValueError:
... print "invalid input is not a number"
invalid input is not a number

Map the public health training courses and programs offered in Latin America, and identify regional training strategies and competencies developed in health workers.
An internet search was conducted to identify public health training courses and programs offered by Latin American institutions. The following data were collected: name, country, and province/state of the training institution; course name; type of institution; educational level; modality; accreditation; year first offered; periodicity; and contact information. The programs and curricula on offer were analyzed by training level using descriptive content analysis, and the main competencies developed were identified.
The mapping identified 2 296 public health training opportunities in all Latin American subregions, distributed across 29 of the Region's 33 countries; these were fairly heterogeneous, both conceptually and programmatically, with uneven geographical distribution within and between countries. In the analysis of curricula and programmatic contents, a need for greater linkage with essential public health functions was detected.
It is necessary to adapt the competencies and skills developed by the courses and programs to the demands of users of the regional health services, programs, and systems in order to achieve programs aimed at tackling the socio-environmental determinants of health and the production and reproduction of inequalities.

Uncertainty of time?
 1. Sep 6, 2004 #1
 Time standards are now based on atomic clocks. A promising second standard is based on pulsars, which are rotating neutron stars (highly compact stars consisting only of neutrons). Some rotate at a rate that is highly stable, sending out a radio beacon that sweeps briefly across Earth once with each rotation, like a lighthouse beacon. Suppose a pulsar rotates once every 1.424 806 448 872 75 2 ms, where the trailing 2 indicates the uncertainty in the last decimal place (it does not mean 2 ms).
 (a) How many times does the pulsar rotate in 21.0 days?
 The answer is 1.27e9
 (b) How much time does the pulsar take to rotate 1.0 x 10^6 times? (Give your answer to at least 4 decimal places.)
 The answer is _PHONE_ seconds
 (c) What is the associated uncertainty of this time?
 For this problem I am unsure of how the uncertainty is calculated. I understand parts a and b but not C. Please help.

 I think your answer to b) is off.
 It's rotating once every 1.424 806 448 872 75 2 ms. so for it to rotate 1.000 time plus 0.0106 times, you're definately not going to be in the 1400 second range.
 That's about 20 minutes to go a little more than it was going in beyond less than a second. Recalculate that and you should get a better start for finding the uncertainty.
 4. Sep 6, 2004 #3
 This answer is the right answer, but it should say: How much time does the pulsar take to rotate 1.0 X 10^6 times?

 Use the error propogation formula:
 [tex]s = \sqrt{ \left( \frac{\delta u}{\delta x} \right)^2_{y,z}s_x^2 + \left( \frac{\delta u}{\delta y} \right)^2_{x,z}s_y^2 + \left( \frac{\delta u}{\delta z} \right)^2_{x,y}s_z^2 }[/tex]
 This is the 3 dimensional [x,y,z] form of the equation. In this case you only have a single dimension, so, it simplifies to
 [tex]s = \sqrt{ \left( nt \right)^2 s_t^2 }[/tex]
 where s is the total uncertainty, n is number of cycles, t is cycle time and s sub t is uncertainty per cycle.

Pellet Prices Remain Stable and Favourable
The cost of the raw material, sawdust, accounts for the largest portion of the pellet price.
How will the prices for pellets develop in the future? Wood pellets are significantly cheaper than oil or gas, and their price will remain stable in the long term. Unlike fossil fuels, wood pellets are made from an abundant and renewable resource. Furthermore, pellet prices are not influenced by political and global crises, i.e. pellets are not a commodity subject to economic speculation.
The price for FireStixx pellets is made up of the following costs:
- Costs for raw materials: approx. 40%
- Costs for storage, logistics and sales: approx. 30%
- Production costs, i.e. drying of the raw materials and palletisation: approx. 30%

The Sales per Square Foot KPI measures how much sales revenue you are able to generate for each foot of retail space provided. Use the following formula when calculating the sales per square foot KPI:
Total Net Sales ÷ Total Floor Area
This a popular retail sales KPI because it clearly demonstrates how effective your store layout and retail personnel are at selling product. As such, this KPI is important when redesigning or modernizing retail outlets, and will be the ultimate indicator of whether that redesign was successful or not. Many of the largest retailers will use a similar design concept for all of their stores, and will go to great lengths to ensure uniformity in each location. Therefore, the sales per square foot KPI can also be used to identify when cultural differences are impacting sales and warrant further investigation.
- Sales revenue: Income received through sales activities.
- A high and/or increasing sales per square foot for one or more locations.

TRIM THE TREE
A holiday game for 1-5 players
by Jeffrey D. Allers
If you like puzzle games, or if you simply enjoy the surprise of seeing what kinds of ornaments are in each box as you decorate your Christmas tree, you might enjoy "Trim the Tree." Play alone or with up to 4 opponents and try to score the most points by having the tree with the most balanced decorations in color and shape.
5 Christmas Tree boards:
5 Star scoring markers:
5 Star scoring markers:
80 Ornament counters (in 4 different shapes and 4 different colors):
1 Ornament Box tile with overview of the scoring:
Each player takes a Christmas Tree and a Star.
Place the Star next to the scoring space marked „0" on the Tree.
With only 3 players, take one set of 16 Ornaments out of the game.
With only 2 players, take out two sets (32 Ornaments total).
If playing solataire, take out 3 sets (or 4 sets for a more calculating version).
Place all the remaining Ornaments in the Bag and give to the starting player.
Place the Ornament Box in the middle.
1) Open a box of Ornaments: the starting player draws as many Ornaments from the Bag as the number of players and places them on the Box.
2) Trimming the Tree: starting with the starting player and continuing clockwise, each player chooses an Ornament from the Box and places it on an empty space on her Tree.
A space is represented by the intersection of 2 or 3 lines on the Tree.
After the first Ornament is placed, players must place each new Ornament on a space adjacent to an Ornament already on her Tree.
3) Scoring: if an Ornament placed completes one or more triangles on the Tree, that player may score points for the triangle(s) if all 3 Ornaments in each triangle are of a different color and shape.
One triangle completed in this ways scores 1 point. If an Ornament completes two triangles, and each of these includes Ornaments of different colors and shapes (but Ornaments of one triangle may match the color and or shape of Ornaments of the other triangle), the two triangles score 3 points. Three triangles completed by the same ornament score 5 points. Four triangles score 7 points. Five triangles score 9 points. And six triangles score 11 points.
See Ornament Box for a summary of the scoring.
Any points scored by completed triangles are marked by moving the Star along the outside of the Tree so that it points to that player's current score.
Example: a player places a blue box ornament that completes two triangles on his tree at the same time. One triangle has a red bell and a yellow candle, the other has a blue bulb and red candle. The first triangle scores because all of the ornaments are of a different color and shape. The second triange does not score because it has two blue ornaments. The player scores 1 point total for the two completed triangles and moves his star one space around his tree. If that player had placed a purple box instead of a blue one, he would have scored 3 points total for both triangles.
Note: a player must always place an Ornament from the Box. The last player in the round does not have a choice as to which Ornament to take.
BEGINNING THE NEXT ROUND:
After the last Ornament is taken from the Box, pass the Bag to the player on the left.
END OF GAME:
When all the Christmas Trees are filled with Ornaments, the game ends. The player with the highest score places her Star on the Tree and wins the game. If there is more than one player tied for the highest score, the tied players share the victory.
The original idea and first prototype originated naturally at Christmastime several years back, when I found some nice wooden bits and Christmas tree-shaped box at a local hobby shop. Seasonal games are notoriously difficult to market, and publishers usually avoid them, so my motivation was strictly personal--to create a fun game for myself, friends and family to play over the holidays. The early version pictured above actually works fine as a game, but did not have the elegance and efficiency I was looking for. So, just as I have done every year this time of year, I brought out the bits and began thinking again about changes I could make. This year, in the interest of improving the design, I finally "let go" of my beautiful bits in favor of cardboard counters (or one could print the ornaments on wooden or plastic chips as well), and I think this is much more "my type of game," if there is such a thing.
And since I doubted a publisher would be interested, I decided to "self-publish" on my blog. Enjoy!

Measure your delayed work. Evaluate the accuracy of your predictions. Calculate your on-time delivery ratio.
The Due Date Performance Chart for Azure DevOps enables you to measure your due date performance by comparing the time between the start date and due date of a work item, with the actual time it took to deliver your work. Each dot on the graph represents a completed work item on your Azure board, with its cycle time plotted against the horizontal axis and its predicted time displayed on the vertical axis.
Your due-date performance is a measure of reliability. Furthermore, it determines the quality of your initial forecast. The accuracy of your forecasts strongly depends on the stability of your system - the more stable your system is, the more dependable your forecasts will be.
With the Due Date Performance chart for Azure DevOps, you can filter your completed work by 'On-time work items' and 'Overdue work items' in order to perform a root cause analysis of the reasons behind your delays.
Your predicted time is calculated as the difference between the moment a work item first entered your workflow and the due date of the work item, while your completion time is the difference between the same starting point and the work item's actual completion date.
By clicking on each dot, you can access further details of the work item. This includes its total cycle time, its predicted time, a direct link to the card on your Azure board as well as the cycle times your work has spent in each process state.
Analyze your overdue work items individually and pay special attention to the states with the longest cycle times to locate the bottleneck impeding your system.
The line plotted across the chart is called a regression line. It flows roughly through the middle of all your completed work items. The slope of the regression line exposes the difference between your predicted time and the actual time needed to deliver your work.
The due date regression line helps you evaluate the accuracy of your predictions and gauge the efficiency of the system you are maintaining.
The 'On-Time Delivery' widget displays the percentage of times that you managed to deliver before your due date arrived. It also visualizes how your due date performance trends have moved over time.
The fundamental element of a due date performance analysis is assessing whether your work has been delivered on time. If the percentage is quite low, this denotes that your initial predictions are unrealistic. If that's the case, consider forecasting your work items using your past performance data with the Cycle Time Scatterplot for Azure DevOps.

The Church opened its doors for worship March 17, 1895, and was designed by a distinguished group of architects including the celebrated Bernard Maybeck. Its founding pastor, Rev. Joseph Worcester, was longtime friend of John Muir. Rev. Worcester purchased the land on which the Church and its grounds are located.
A Statement of Significance reads: "The Swedenborgian Church ecclesiastical complex is an ensemble of buildings that is exceptionally valuable to our understanding of the development of a style of architecture we now call the First Bay Tradition, the harbinger of the Arts and Crafts Movement in the western United States. Natural materials, domestic scale and appearance, traditional and earthy structural forms, and site-specific designs define the First Bay Tradition. The visionary Swedenborgian minister Joseph Worcester brought together leading architects of the First Bay Tradition, A. Page Brown, A.C. Schweinfurth, and Bernard Maybeck, as well as the contemporary painter William Keith, stained-glass artist Bruce Porter, artist Mary Curtis Richardson and other designers and craftsmen to create an integrated complex of buildings.... Like the closely-allied Arts and Crafts Movement, the First Bay Tradition developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and stressed a comprehensive design approach: from architecture to interior furnishings, from fixtures to artwork. The church is one of the earliest, most influential and best surviving examples of this important national and regional building tradition."
The following is an excerpt of the National Landmarking Committee's commentary supporting its decision to grant Landmark status: The Swedenborgian Church of San Francisco is "…a critically important example of the American contribution to the Arts and Crafts Movement as exemplified in new architectural imagery, integration with the site, garden design, and use of natural materials. The interior shows the employment of the decorative arts to create a special atmosphere, and also the first examples of the'mission chairs.'... The Church is important as an example of the Swedenborgian contribution to American religious, social theory and intellectual life."

The International Society of Urological Pathology in 2010 recommended weighing prostates without seminal vesicles (SV) to include only prostate weight in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density (PSAD) calculation, because SV do not produce PSA. Large retrospective cohorts exist with combined weight recorded that needs to be modified for retrospective analysis. Weights of prostates and SV were separately recorded in 172 consecutive prostatectomies. The average weight of SV and proportion of prostate weight from combined weight were calculated. The adjustment factors were then validated on databases of 2 other institutions. The average weight of bilateral SV was 6.4 g (range = 1-17.3 g). The prostate constituted on average 87% (range = 66% to 98%) of the total specimen weight. There was no correlation between patient age and prostate weight with SV weight. The best performing correction method was to subtract 6.4 g from total radical prostatectomy weight and to use this weight for PSAD calculation. The average weights of retrospective specimens weighed with SV were not significantly different between the 3 institutions. Using our data allowed calibration of the weights and PSAD between the cohorts weighed with and without SV. Thus, prostate weight in specimens including SV weight can be adjusted by subtracting 6.4 g, resulting in significant change of PSAD. Some institution-specific variations may exist, which could further increase the precision of retrospective analysis involving prostate weight and PSAD. However, unless institution-specific adjustment parameters are developed, we recommend that this correction factor be used for retrospective cohorts or in institutions where combined weight is still recorded.

Multiple owners increase depreciation claims
Split reports help accelerate deductions
An increase in BMT Tax Depreciation Schedules for more than one owner suggests co-ownership is becoming an increasingly popular trend.
It can also balance out the expenses of owning an investment property including ongoing repairs, maintenance and fees. Additionally, co-ownership can provide improved depreciation deductions, allowing more items to be depreciated at a higher rate. This is where a BMT Tax Depreciation split report can assist.
How does a split report work?
A split report calculates depreciation deductions based on each owner's percentage of ownership for each asset. This involves splitting the value of the assets based upon each owner's interest in the assets before applying depreciation rules.
In a scenario where there is just one owner, legislation allows property investors to claim an immediate write-off for assets with an opening value of $300 or less. However, when an investment property is co-owned by two parties with a 50:50 ownership share, a split report allows the owners to each claim an immediate write-off for items where their interest in the asset is below $300. This means the owners can claim an instant write-off for items which are less than $600 in total value.
The same method can be used when applying low-value pooling. Where an owner's interest in an asset is less than $1,000, these items will qualify to be placed in a low-value pool. This means they can be claimed at an increased rate of 18.75 per cent in the first year regardless of the number of days owned and 37.5 per cent from the second year onwards.
In a situation where ownership is split 50:50, by calculating an owner's interest in each asset first, the owners will qualify to pool assets which cost less than $2,000 in total to the low-value pool.
Distributing the value of assets based upon the percentage of ownership first will increase the number of assets which investors are eligible to claim an immediate write-off or low-value pooling for. As a result, the rate at which depreciation deductions can be applied will be accelerated and the owners will receive increased deductions in the earlier years of ownership.
BMT's split reports simplify this process and allow owners to get more from their investment. Each split report can also be provided in CSV format for easy importing into accounting software.
There is an option for owners who prefer a depreciation schedule without any split applied should this be required.
Visit BMT's co-ownership case study page to see how a split schedule increases deductions for two owners.

Mecsek MountainsArticle Free Pass
Mecsek Mountains, also called Baranya Mountains, mountain range in southern Hungary. The range consists of a fractured local fold system of an origin contemporaneous with the Carpathian Mountains. The Mecsek emerged from beneath the sea in the Mesozoic Era (which began about 250 million years ago) and reached mountain proportions when the surrounding crystalline rocks sank again. Its present appearance is that of a broad dissected limestone plateau, with cols and valleys along the fault lines. The largest transverse fault line breaks the system into two parts: the Eastern Mecsek rises to 2,237 feet (682 metres) at Zengő; the Western Mecsek, reaching 2,008 feet (612 metres) at Tubes, has extensive sandstones and shales. Toward the north, the Mecsek range merges into the Tolna-Baranya hills. The south margin sharply overlooks the Pécs plain. A Mediterranean climate and a high total of annual sunshine hours are favourable to fruit growing (even figs) and viticulture.

Identify and Remove a Processor
Caution - Be careful not to touch the processor socket pins. The processor socket pins are very fragile. A light touch can bend the processor socket pins beyond repair.
Caution - Whenever you remove a processor, replace it with another processor and reinstall the processor heatsink; otherwise, the server might overheat due to improper airflow. See Install a Processor.
 1. Prepare the server for service.
 1. Power off the server and disconnect the power cords from the power supplies.
 See Powering Down the Server.
 2. Extend the server to the maintenance position.
 See Extend the Server to the Maintenance Position.
 3. Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist, and then to a metal area on the chassis.
 See Take Antistatic Measures.
 4. Remove the server top cover.
 See Remove the Server Top Cover.
 5. Lift the air baffles up and out of the server and set them aside.
 2. Identify the location of the failed processor by pressing the Fault Remind button on the motherboard I/O card.
 Note - When you press the Fault Remind button, an LED located next to the Fault Remind button lights green, indicates that there is sufficient voltage in the fault remind circuit to light any fault LEDs that were lit due to a failure. If this LED fails to light when you press the Fault Remind button, it is likely that the capacitor powering the fault remind circuit lost its charge. This can happen if you press the Fault Remind button for a long time with fault LEDs lit, or if power was removed from the server for more than 15 minutes.
 The processor fault LED for the failed processor lights. The processor fault LEDs are located next to the processors. See Motherboard Status Indicators.
 - If the processor fault LED is off, the processor is operating properly.
 - If the processor fault LED is on (amber), the processor has failed and must be replaced.

 3. Using a Torx T30 screwdriver, loosen the four captive nuts that secure the processor-heatsink module to the socket: fully loosen nut 4, then 3, then 2, then 1 [1].
 image:Figure showing processor-heatsink module being removed from the socket.
 4. Lift the processor-heatsink module from the socket [2].
 Always hold the processor-heatsink module along the axis of the fins to prevent damage.
 5. Separate the processor from the heatsink.
 1. Flip over the processor-heatsink module, place it on a flat surface, and locate the thermal interface material (TIM) breaker slot.
 image:Figure showing the processor-heatsink module being flipped over to locate the TIM breaker slot.
 2. While holding down the processor-heatsink module by the edges, insert a flat blade screwdriver into the TIM breaker slot.
 The blade of the screwdriver goes into the slot between the heatsink and processor carrier, not between the processor and processor carrier.
 image:Figure showing a screwdriver being used to pry the processor from the heatsink.
 3. Using a rocking motion, gently pry the corner of the processor carrier away from the heatsink.
 4. Remove the processor carrier (with processor still attached) from the heatsink by prying or pinching the plastic latch tabs that attach the processor to the heatsink.
 image:Figure showing the processor carrier being detached from the heatsink.
 Caution - A thin layer of thermal grease separates the heatsink and the processor. This grease acts as an adhesive. Do not allow the thermal grease to contaminate the work space or other components.
 6. If you plan on reusing either the heatsink or processor, use an alcohol pad to clean the thermal grease on the underside of the heatsink and on the top of the processor. If reusing a processor, do not remove it from the processor carrier.
 Caution - Failure to clean thermal grease from the heatsink could result in the accidental contamination of the processor socket or other components. Also, be careful not to get the grease on your fingers, as this could contaminate components.

Body-color brake lamps are lamps that in their off state match the body color of the car. When energized, all body-color lamps, as well as conventional lamps, appear bright red. The speed of response to a body-color brake lamp may differ from the speed of response to a conventional lamp for two reasons. The first is that the difference between off-and on-state luminances varies primarily with off-state luminance. When the difference is larger than for the conventional lamp, the increased luminance contrast may speed reaction time. The other reason that responses for the two types of lamps may differ is the greater chromaticity contrast that body-color lamps have between their on and off states.
This study separately evaluated the effects of luminance contrast and chromaticity contrast for body-color brake lamps. One set of chromatically neutral lamps of varying lightness (from black to white) was tested, along with a set of chromatically varied lamps of equal lightness, and a conventional lamp. The lamps were tested pair-wise in a dual-task paradigm where one task involved simple compensatory tracking, and the other task was to respond to the onset of either of the two brake lamps. Reaction times were recorded.
The primary findings are statistically significant effects of both luminance contrast and chromaticity contrast on reaction time to brake lamps. Neither of these effects is large; the difference between fastest and slowest mean reaction times was 33 msec. The effect of luminance contrast is such that lamps that are light in their off state yield slower reaction times. Performance with the lightest lamp in this study was slightly worse than performance with the conventional lamp. None of the chromatic lamps degraded performance relative to the conventional lamp. The pattern of responses to the chromatic lamps suggests that for all lamps that are different from red in their off state, the effect of chromaticity contrast will be to speed up reaction time slightly compared to the conventional lamp.

Complex Adaptive Socio-Technical Systems – The Role of Socio-Technical Networks in New Product Development
51 Pages Posted: 29 Jan 2014
Date Written: January 15, 2014
New product development (NPD) is challenging, as it involves mastering new technologies by coordinating appropriate resources efficiently and effectively. Established models of NPD focus on structuring, planning and ordering the innovation process but do not account for complexity and organizational responses and strategies in handling day-to-day resource allocation and decision-making.
Our work is theoretically based on ideas from complexity science and NPD procedures. We build on and extend the work on Complex Adaptive System (CAS) and combine it with Socio-Technical System in an innovative approach to analyze, understand and manage NPD complexity by means of network analysis and performance metrics.
This paper contributes to existing literature by introducing a framework of complex adaptive socio-technical systems (CASS). It is intended to (1) consider dependencies between product and individuals, (2) provide indicators to measure complexity, efficiency and effectiveness, (3) explain complex phenomena by identifying patterns, and (4) enable NPD governance.
We demonstrate the applicability of our framework and metrics using comparative longitudinal case studies using novel and unique data from 4 years of meeting minutes and document exchange in the design phase of the NPD process of a large German automobile OEM. Results reveal new measures for addressing operational, social and technical complexity, providing new insights into complex dynamic behavior. From a managerial point of view, contributions of CASS are twofold: First, new possibilities for NPD governance emerge from performance indicators. Second, the extraction of dynamic socio-technical networks supports project-to-project learning.

Management of Lady Liberty Discussed in Congress

Congress cannot figure out why the parks are not listening them, after they've been asked more than once by the House to open up the crown of the Statue of Liberty. Congress has given unsolicited money to Liberty to get it open, and there had been a campaign which raised millions from across the nation for the same purpose, but still, 6 years after it was closed, there remains no public access to the crown.

The Hall of Remembrance
Memory, above all, defines the Hall of Remembrance, the national memorial to victims of the Holocaust. Occupying the interior of the hexagonal structure that overlooks Eisenhower Plaza, the Hall is a solemn, simple space designed for public ceremonies and individual reflection. Epitaphs are set onto the limestone walls that encircle an eternal flame.
Diffused sunlight illuminates the Hall as it passes through the translucent glass of a high, center skylight. The floor is red granite, spattered and cracked by natural fissures. Narrow openings on the side walls let in light and offer partial views of the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial.
Visitors may light memorial candles in the niches of the outer walls — a universal symbol of renewed life and a sign of remembrance in many cultures.

daily activities and having a positive experience.
of Life is a subjective image that differs for everyone.
How you define quality in your life may be different than how I
define quality in mine. However,
each of us has the opportunity to define and
carry out our own values—which enables us to experience a high quality of life.
This right is overlooked in the lives of many of the
Individuals we serve. The Quality of Model was developed to
implement the principles of Gentle Teaching, giving Individuals with
disabilities the right to define and carry out their own values.
At Globe Star, we aim to mentor Individuals with disabilities
in achieving a quality of life that fosters interdependence, or the quality of

Check to see if a file or directory can be accessed (extended version)
_TAG_ _TAG_ int eaccess( const char * path, int amode );
- The path to the file or directory that you want to access.
- The access mode you want to check.
This must be either:
- F_OK — test for file existence.
or a bitwise ORing of the following access permissions to be checked, as defined in the header :
- R_OK — test for read permission.
- W_OK — test for write permission.
- X_OK — for a directory, test for search permission. Otherwise, test for execute permission.
Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.
The eaccess() function is an extended version of access(). It checks if the file or directory specified by path exists and if it can be accessed with the file access permissions given by amode. However, unlike access(), it uses the effective user ID and effective group ID.
- The file or directory exists and can be accessed with the specified mode.
- An error occurred (errno is set.)
- The permissions specified by amode are denied, or search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix.
- An invalid value was specified for amode.
- Too many levels of symbolic links or prefixes.
- The length of the path string exceeds PATH_MAX, or a pathname component is longer than NAME_MAX.
- A component of the path isn't valid.
- The eaccess() function isn't implemented for the filesystem specified in path.
- A component of the path prefix isn't a directory.
- Write access was requested for a file residing on a read-only file system.

If you have a bunch of commands that you use frequently, you may want to keep them more accessible within PowerPoint 2016 by customizing your Quick Access Toolbar. You populate the QAT with commands you use often. Over a period, these customizations may become a valuable asset you want to save or share. Let us explore these scenarios:
- What do you do if you need to change your computer, and rather than customize again from scratch, you wonder if there's a way to move your existing customizations?
- Or if you want to replicate your QAT customizations on another existing computer? Maybe you want the same customizations on both your desktop and laptop.
- You may also want to share your QAT customizations with your friends and colleagues.
- You may want to make a backup of your customizations, just in case!
- On the other hand, you probably want to go into the reverse direction because you need to hand over your computer to someone else, so you may want to reset your QAT to the default state, devoid of all your customizations.
Yes, you can do all this and more. If you want to reset, export, or import your QAT customizations, follow these steps:
- Launch PowerPoint 2016 and access PowerPoint Options dialog box. There are two ways to access these options. The easiest way is to right-click anywhere on the Ribbon or the QAT, and choose the Customize Quick Access Toolbar option, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 1.
Figure 1: Customize Quick Access Toolbar option
- Alternatively, access the File menu and choose Options (highlighted in blue within Figure 2).
Figure 2: Options within File menu
- Either way, this opens the PowerPoint Options dialog box, as shown in Figure 3. Make sure you choose the Quick Access Toolbar option within the sidebar. This shows the relevant options on the right side of the dialog box (refer to Figure 3 again). All the options we will explore in this tutorial are within the Customizations area, highlighted in red within Figure 3, below.
Figure 3: PowerPoint Options dialog box
- Let us first explore how you can import and export the QAT customizations. To do so, click the Import/Export button (highlighted in red within Figure 4, below). From the resultant drop-down menu, select the Export all customizations option (highlighted in blue within Figure 4) to export your QAT customizations.
Figure 4: Export all customizations option is selected
- This brings up the File Save dialog box, as shown in Figure 5. Provide a name and location, and click the Save button.
Figure 5: File Save dialog box
- You import customizations in the same way. Access the drop-down menu as explained in Step 3, and choose the Import customization file option, as shown highlighted in blue within Figure 6.
Figure 6: Import customization file option to be selected
- This opens the File Open dialog box, as shown in Figure 7. Here, navigate and locate your (.exportedUI) file, and select it. When done, click the Open button.
Figure 7: File Open dialog box
- This will bring up a Microsoft Office window, as shown in Figure 8. Click the Yes button to replace all existing Quick Access Toolbar customizations.
Figure 8: Microsoft Office window
- This will change all the customizations to match the ones taken from the imported file.
- To reset, click the Reset button (highlighted in red within Figure 9). The resultant drop-down menu provides two options to reset any customizations done, as shown highlighted in blue within Figure 9.
- The Reset only Quick Access Toolbar option will only reset the customization of the QAT.
- The Reset all customizations option resets all the customization done for your Ribbon tabs as well as the QAT. This is like restoring the Ribbon tabs and QAT to the state when you used PowerPoint the first time after installation.
Figure 9: Reset drop-down menu
- Click the OK button to apply changes made within the PowerPoint Options dialog box, and go back to the PowerPoint interface. Alternatively, press the Cancel button to go back without making any changes.

In the most of all statistical approaches in pattern recognition theories in remote sensing it is assumed that each probability density function of pattern classes can be approximated by the Gaussian probability density function. However, this assumption is not always appropriate in practice. The exact shape of class probability density function is supposed to be expressed as an original histogram. And if the shape of the histogram is largely different from the Gaussian function the classification results might include large error.
Therefore, there seems no need to persist in Gaussian probability density function as the only representation of class histograms. In other words, if there are other functions which can approximate the original histograms more accurately than the Gaussian function can, we would better to adopt one of those functions as a representation of a pattern class histogram.
From this point of view, a probability density function was expanded by adding another parameter to the Gaussian function so that it can approximate histograms more flexibly and still can include the Gaussian function itself as a special case.
The expanded function used here is a non-symmetric Gaussian function which has two independent standard deviations for each Side of the mode so that it can approximate the anti-symmetricity of class histogram.
In this paper some characteristics of the non-symmetric Gaussian probability density function were studied. Then the fitness to the original histogram was examined by chi-square test and compared with that of the conventional symmetric Gaussian function. The comparison between symmetric and non-symmetric function was accomplished also on the results of a test run.

To undo recent changes, use the undo command:
u: undo last change (can be repeated to undo preceding commands)
Ctrl-R: Redo changes which were undone (undo the undos). Compare to '
.' to repeat a previous change, at the current cursor position. Ctrl-R will redo a previously undone change, wherever the change occurred.
A related command is:
U: return the last line which was modified to its original state (reverse all changes in last modified line)
U is not actually a true "undo" command as it does not actually navigate undo history like
CTRL-R. This means that (somewhat confusingly)
U is itself undo-able with
u; it creates a new change to reverse previous changes.
U is seldom useful in practice, but is often accidentally pressed instead of
u, so it is good to know about.
- Recover from accidental Ctrl-U, which explains what constitutes a change which can be undone.
- Using undo branches, which explains Vim's unique and very powerful undo tree.
