Dear Sirs, 2008
Nintendo DS, custom coded game, R4 card
Dear Sirs is a mobile poem—a workplace related resignation poem and marking of time using mesostics and numeric references to embed secret locative information within the poem on a Nintendo DS. Dear Sirs is a part of a series of works that are all interactive game like poems that exploit the relationship between the user, the hardware, the physicality of the user and the interface. Through visuals, text and interaction the poems circumvent and explore poetic/textual conventions and human empathy in a technological context. The participant is required to mark time along with the poet in order to experience the poem. For each stroke on the touch screen with the stylus—one letter of the poem is sequentially revealed. Referencing the famous poem "What you say" by John Cage, this work uses mesostics and embedded numbers to reveal a location—both virtual and physical, and a rejection of participation in problematic systems.


Sales Cycle - The Timeline From Making Contact With A Prospect To Finalizing The Sale
Sales Cycle
What is the definition of a sales cycle? A sales cycle is the time from when a salesperson first makes contact with a prospect to the moment when a sale is made or finalized. For example, if a copier sales rep makes a cold call from a list of prospects and reaches one, that is the start of the sales cycle. When she finalizes the deal and makes delivery of the copier that is the end of the sales cycle. The time in between the initial cold call and delivery is the sales cycle.
How long should a sales cycle be? That is a question that cannot be answered without including dozens of other variables. A sales cycle could be one day, or it could be one year or more; it all depends on the industry, the market, the individuals involved, and dozens of other factors.
As a general rule, the larger the deal or the more complicated the product or service, the longer the sales cycle will be. A tire salesman selling tires could go through multiple sales cycles a day, whereas a firm engaged in say, million dollar deals with the government, will face many more challenges, including tendering to RFPs (request for proposals), sales presentations, and reports; a sales cycle like this could last for months or even years.
It is a goal of many sales organizations to move propects through sales cycles as quick as possible. The more efficient the sales cycle, the more prospects will go through, the more sales that will be made. More sales equals more revenue. Thus, an efficient sales cycle provides benefits for the organization and many organizations provide sales training for their staff to help them improve their own personal sales cycle with their cliants and prospects.
A sales cycle is sometimes also referred to as the gestation period.


. Therefore, we propose to generate code for both the CPU and the coprocessor, and defer the offloading decision to the application runtime. We demonstrate how a toolflow, based on the LLVM compiler framework, can automatically embed dynamic offloading decisions into the application code. We perform in-depth static and dynamic analysis of popular benchmarks, which confirm the general potential of such an approach. We also propose to optimize the offloading process by decoupling the runtime decision from the loop execution (decision slack). The feasibility of our approach is demonstrated by a toolflow that automatically identifies suitable data-parallel loops and generates code for the FPGA coprocessor of a Convey HC-1.

ASL Linguistics: Noun / Verb Pairs
Noun/Verb pairs are signs that use the same handshape, location, and orientation, but have a different movement. The verb of a noun verb pair generally has a single, continuous movement that is larger than the movement of the noun. The motion of a noun of a noun verb pair is generally a double movement that is smaller than that of a verb.
Got that?
Verbs (of noun/verb pairs) use a single movement.
Nouns (of noun/verb pairs) use a double movement.
A good example of a noun verb pair is the "CHAIR/SIT."
If I do this motion once, it means sit.
If I do the movement twice, it means CHAIR.
But sometimes if I'm in a hurry I'll only do the movement once and my friends still understand me. Why? Because of context. The rest of the sentence makes the meaning clear for me.

Top 5 Superfoods for Sex and Healing
1. Cacao (raw chocolate) [In Shakeology]
2. Goji Berries (Wolfberries)
3. Maca [In Shakeology]
4. Camu Camu Berry [In Shakeology]
Is Shakeology safe while pregnant or nursing?
Is Shakeology safe while pregnant or nursing?A lot of people ask if it's safe to consume Shakeology while they are pregnant or nursing. While I appreciate when moms are careful about what they eat when they're eating for two. I can't help but wonder if they asked the same question about processed foods with preservatives and dyes. Or meat that includes the infamous "pink slime." Eeeeww! And although I'm not a nutritionist or medical professional, the short answer is: Yes! Shakeology is safe for pregnant and nursing moms and their babies–unless the mom has an allergy or sensitivity to an ingredient. So for those who just wanted the short answer, you don't have to read any further, but you should.
It's important to note that only 6% of all physicians in the US receive formal nutrition training (statistic quoted from the film "Food Matters") and many do not learn about breastfeeding, either. Women have told me that their doctor told them Shakeology is not safe for pregnancy due to the amount of vitamin A in it. This tells me that the doctor is only partially educated on the matter. It is true that high amounts of vitamin A in the form of retinol–which is preformed vitamin A from animal sources–have been correlated to birth defects. However, the vitamin A in Shakeology is in the form of plant-based beta carotene, which converts to vitamin A in the body. No studies at all have suggested that beta carotene has any correlation to birth defects. The rate of conversion of beta carotene to vitamin A is drastically reduced when higher amounts are ingested, preventing toxicity and teratogenicity. The Teratology Society concluded that beta carotene is not a teratogen (substance that causes birth defects) according to an excellent article by the Illinois Teratogen Information Service.
Shakeology is made from all natural ingredients, none of which are contraindicated for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Check out this video about where the ingredients come from.
You should always seek advice from a medical care provider, however–based on the fact that most have not had formal nutrition training, it is important to do your own research as well. Ask lots of questions and find out the reasons for any medical advice you receive. It is important to remember that doctors do not always agree on what's best, and they are advisors, not the ultimate decision maker. You are the only one in charge of your body, your baby and the health of both of you!

Muskie math: World-record story just doesn't add up
Doug Arnold is a widely quoted University of Minnesota mathematics professor when it comes to applying math to everyday problems, such as the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot.
But can he solve the riddle of Louis Spray's disputed world-record muskie?
"The mathematics does not give an absolute resolution to the controversy," said the director of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications. "But in my view, it's unlikely the fish is 63 inches."
That clue could tip the scales against Spray, whose 1949 world-record muskie from Wisconsin's Chippewa Flowage has been challenged by an Illinois group. The National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame is reviewing Spray's record, which is why Arnold was invited to give his unbiased opinion on the controversy.
Arnold said he examined a picture of Spray that was sent to him by Scott Allen, a board member of the Hall of Fame. Spray's fish was reportedly 63½ inches and weighed 69 pounds, 11 ounces. The Hall of Fame recognizes records by weight, but critics of Spray's fish say photo analysis indicates it was much shorter than 63 inches, perhaps even 10 inches shorter.
That would mean the fish would likely fall short of the weight that Spray claimed.
Arnold said the riddle is matter of perspective, a fact he explains at his Web site, _URL_
He said it's impossible to determine the true size of the fish from photos without knowing some important facts, such as how far the camera was from Spray's fish and what type of lens was used. Arnold said a phenomenon known as "projective geometry" distorts the size of the fish, depending upon how far the camera is from it.
Projective geometry is a fancy name for a well-known fact among anglers: The closer the photographer is to the fish, the bigger the fish will appear in a photo.
Without knowing the position of the camera, Arnold said, it's only guesswork as to the true size of Spray's fish.
But Arnold said the maximum length of Spray's muskie could be determined by using simple proportion. Given that Spray was 6 feet tall (72 inches), Arnold said the fish's maximum size appears to be 63 inches, as it appears in the photo next to the angler.
But that would only be the "most optimistic" view, because Spray is holding the fish in front and away from him in the picture.
"Thus, the only conclusion we can draw with certainty is the fish is shorter than 63 inches, perhaps considerably so,'' Arnold reports.
Arnold demonstrates his case on his Web site by holding a 48-inch board in the same manner that Spray holds his world-record muskie. Arnold shows how the board appears much larger than it actually is. Arnold is 2 inches shorter than Spray.
Emmett Brown Jr., executive director of the Hall of Fame, based in Hayward, Wis., said he hadn't read Arnold's report and couldn't comment on it.
He said the Hall of Fame would make a decision on Spray's fish early next year.
Arnold, who lives in Plymouth and likes to fly fish for bass and northern pike, wouldn't speculate how big Spray's fish was. "But if were in an office pool, I wouldn't bet it was 63 inches," he said.
For a man who knows his odds, that's saying a lot.

The science behind handshakes
A new study suggests shaking hands is more than just a common greeting.
Researchers at Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science say it's actually a way of smelling each other - much like animals do to learn more about one another. Except people are much more discreet.
The researchers used hidden cameras to observe more than 270 people while they waited alone. During that time the volunteers put their hands near their nose 22 percent of the time. Using some sneaky instrument that measured airflow to the nose, researchers realized they were actually sniffing their hands. Staff members eventually greeted some volunteers with a handshake. Participants who shake hands with someone of the same sex were twice as likely to subtly sniff their hands after.
Participants who shook hands with the opposite sex, however, were more likely to sniff their non-shaking hand.
The project's researcher told New Scientist, "People constantly have a hand at their face, they are sniffing it, and they modify that behavior after shaking hands. That demonstrates that the handshaking is a chemosignalling behavior."
Chemosignals are like pheromones that transmit information from our bodies - like sweating when we're afraid. New Scientist reports it's still unclear what chemical signals are exchanged through handshakes, or why there are different results for same-sex and cross-gender handshakes, but the team at Weizmann is now looking at how the signals might be affected in behavioral conditions like autism spectrum disorders.
They believe these results are just the "tip of the iceberg."

Oxygen makes Venus glow at night
Rating: 5.00/5 (1 votes cast)
- Title Oxygen makes Venus glow at night
- Released 11/04/2007 2:35 pm
- Copyright ESA/VIRTIS/INAF-IASF/Obs. de Paris-LESIA
This grey-scale image was taken on 3 June 2006 by the Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS) onboard ESA's Venus Express, at a distance of 68 000 kilometres from the planet's surface.
The image shows the oxygen airglow in the night-side of Venus, appearing as the bright features similar to 'clouds' visible at the bottom of the image, and also visible as the white ring surrounding the planet's disk (limb). The oxygen airglow is fully detectable only at specific infrared wavelengths. This image was obtained at 1.27 micrometres.
The fluorescence of the airglow is produced when oxygen atoms, 'migrating' from the day-side to the night-side of the atmosphere of Venus under the push of the so-called sub-solar and anti-solar atmospheric circulation, recombine into molecular oxygen (or 'O2') emitting light.
The view was obtained from south, with the south pole at the top of the image. The lower horizon is at about 20 degrees South latitude, while the image centre is at 60 degrees East longitude (coinciding with midnight local time).

America's Cup 2021: Interactive explainer: Inside Team NZ's speed machine – how it all works
The boats being raced in this year's America's Cup are pushing the boundaries of both science and design.
The 75-foot foiling monohulls are unlike anything seen before in our waters and have been attracting huge interest and fanfare as they fly across the Waitematā Harbour daily.
But how exactly do these boats fly? What differences are there between Team NZ and Luna Rossa? And what are the responsibilities of each crew member?
Cheree Kinnear and AUT's Sailing Professor Mark Orams break down every inch of Team NZ and Luna Rossa's 75-foot, 7.5 tonne America's Cup boats.
The twin cantilevering foil arms, which extend out the side of the boat, provide lift and stability and are controlled by battery-powered hydraulics.
When the boats are foiling, the force of the wind on the sail is essentially trying to push the boat over on its side, so the foil in the water on the opposite side of the wind helps keeps it stable.
The other foil, if kept in the water would drag, therefore, is lifted. But because it's heavy it also helps with stability. The only time both foils are kept in the water is during a manoeuvre.
"The foils basically support the boat," Orams says. "They're around the size of an ironing board so you've got this massive yacht and all the force is supported by this very narrow foil."
The foil arms also have adjustable flaps attached to the bottom of each wing, and the flight controller's job is to control the flap's angle when foiling.
"If you think of an airplane's wings, the flaps go down to give you lift to take off and then as you take off, you'll see the pilot retract the flap as you've got enough speed that you've got to reduce the drag. It's the same principle with the main foils," says Orams.
Team New Zealand have fairly straight foils while Luna Rossa's resemble more of an inverted 'Y' shape and slant downwards to the tips.
"In aerodynamic terms that gives you more stability," Orams said. "So somehow Team NZ have figured out how to stay stable but have a really low drag set up on their foils. That tells me they must have a very sophisticated way of controlling their flaps."
Controlled by the helmsman, the rudder acts like the tail wing on a plane and is essentially a steering device.
The 'elevators' at the bottom of the rudder control the pitch of the yacht and enable stable flight -basically how much the boat flies nose up or nose down when foiling.
The rudder must work in unison with the foil arms, as Orams explains.
"If you've got them both going the same way, so both angles up, they'll both go to the sky and the boat will breach and fall to the surface. In contrast, if they're both down it'll nose dive so they have to work together."
Just like the foil arms, the larger the rudder, the more control the boat has, but once flying, the more drag it can create. The challenge is in striking the right balance.
While both teams have similar rudders, Team NZ's is the smallest.
The hull is the main body of the boat.
The unique difficulty with designing the hull of these foiling AC75's is, because it spends time both in and above the water, it needs to be built hydro-dynamically and aero-dynamically.
To achieve this balancing act, the hull needs to have enough buoyancy to take off yet be thin enough that when flying, has minimal drag.
Team NZ and Luna Rossa have relatively similar shaped hulls, in that they're arrow-shaped in design but Team NZ is much wider at the back.
"What they're trying to achieve is buoyancy in the hull by making it wide but as they present the hull to the wind direction, that it has as little profile as possible," Orams says.
"A little bit like a fighter jet.
"Luna Rossa's shape is less radical with no hard corners or bumps whereas Team NZ have a bit more of a narrow bow and boxy stern."
The other important aspect of the hull design is the shape of the keel. When the boat is at full flight, wind travelling underneath from one side of the hull to the other can create turbulence.
Extended keels, as seen on both boats, force the wind to go front to back and tunnel either side of the hull.
"It's a lot less drag and allows the boat to go faster," Orams says. "So both teams have these keels that drop from the middle of the boat that closes the gap between the water surface and the hull."
Mast & sails
Each boat must have an identical mast, but how it's installed, how much it leans and where it's positioned is up to the teams.
The sails are constructed out of carbon fibre. Team NZ and Luna Rossa both use North Sails, which are built in a mould.
The jib – being the triangular sail at the front of the boat – is single sided so when the boat goes from one tack to the other, the sail inverts in its shape onto the other side.
The mainsail, however, has two skins, and so creates a "soft wing".
"This is the engine of the yacht so how teams adjust it is huge," says Orams. "Mainsails are adjusted using hydraulics, powered by the grinders, how much power the grinders can produce determines how much adjustment the mainsail trimmer can make. And they have to be adjusted a lot for manoeuvres, puffs and lulls and they're always trying to manage the compromise between power and drag."
When it comes to race day, each team selects which sails to use based on recommendations from their meteorologist. The mainsails are selected fairly early but they leave their jib choice until much closer to the start time.
"You'll have your plan A, plan B and plan C before you even leave the dock," Orams said.
At the top of mast and front of the bowsprit, there are instruments that measure the wind strength and angle.
This provides the afterguard (helmsman and tactician) with valuable information when racing.
It also provides critical information about angle of attack, foil arm cant, pitch of the elevator and the rudder.
"They'll look at some key things such as the target of their boat speed, turn rate in manoeuvres, the speed going into a turn, through the turn and coming out and how they accelerate to get up to speed," said Orams.
"It determines where the mainsail is, the foils are adjusted to and the angle the helmsman is steering the yacht."
In basic terms, grinders use hand winches to create hydraulic power for the trimmers to adjust the sails.
To create hydraulic power, pressure needs to be created to pump hydraulic oil through pipes so the grinders ensure pressure is kept in the accumulator tanks.
"Think about it like a hot water cylinder. When filled up, you've got plenty of hot water and pressure but when you have two showers going, the pressure drops and so goes the temperature, the grinders are basically keeping the pressure up in those tanks," Orams explains.
"Without pressure, a person will essentially push a button and nothing will happen."
Both Team NZ and Luna Rossa have eight grinders, four on each side of the boat.
Flight controller
The flight controller is in charge of the foils and plays an essential part in ensuring the boat pulls off manoeuvres while foiling.
With the more traditional approach, Team NZ have thrust the role onto Blair Tuke.
Luna Rossa, on the other hand, has opted for the configuration with two helmsmen in Jimmy Spithill and Francesco Bruni, meaning both alternate in the role of flight controllers as they manage the foil control system.
Mainsail trimmer
The mainsail trimmer controls the 'engine'.
They're key to spotting changes in wind and can change the top and bottom sections of the mainsail.
But they must coordinate with the helmsman, as Orams explains.
"It's like if you were in a car and you've got one person on the steering wheel and the other with a foot on the accelerator. If they're not in sync with one another, it's really difficult," said Orams.
"They have to be like fighter pilots, very cool and calm."
The helmsman's primary responsibility is steering the boat and making decisions in manoeuvres.
He talks the team through their routines when entering a tack or gybe and the helmsman has the final say.
Team NZ has one helmsman – Peter Burling. But as mentioned above, Luna Rossa has opted to have two – Spithill and Bruni.
"The tricky thing for teams is when they change from one tack to another, how do they control the boat? Team NZ has one primary helmsman, and you want to steer the boat from the windward side. So when they go into a turn Burling ends up on the wrong side so Glenn Ashby has to steer while he crosses the back of the sail," Orams explains.
"In a new innovation, Luna Rossa have one helmsman on each side and swap between roles of steering the boat and controlling the pitch."

The John C. Phillips Memorial Medal recognizes outstanding service in international conservation and commemorates the life and work of Dr John C. Phillips, a pioneer of the conservation movement.
Born in 1876, Dr Phillips specialized in Medicine and Zoology and made significant contributions to science, particularly in taxonomy and genetics. He was vitally concerned with international cooperation for the conservation of nature being closely involved with developing the early wildlife treaties. In his memory his friends established a Memorial Medal and entrusted the awarding of this recognition to IUCN. The Medal has been presented at every General Assembly and Congress since 1963.
Distinguished recipients of the Award have included HRH The Prince of the Netherlands, Indira Gandhi, HM Sultan Qaboos Bin Said of Oman, Professor E. O. Wilson, Dr Luc Hoffmann (pictured on the right receiving his award from former IUCN President, Yolanda Kakabadse in 2004) and Dr José Aristeo Sarukhán Kermez, each of whom have contributed their vision, wisdom and perseverance to furthering the global conservation cause.
Sir David Attenborough was honoured with the John C. Phillips Memorial Medal at the 2012 IUCN World Conservation Congress. The prize was awarded by the IUCN Council, on the recommendation of an award jury consisting of five serving members of the IUCN Constituency Committee.
A British naturalist and broadcaster, Sir David has reached the masses with his captivating programmes on natural history, creating awareness of the natural world and its vulnerability, and, over the course of the last 50 years, inspiring generations to protect and conserve our planet.
"IUCN is an organisation of enormous importance for all of us who care about the natural world. There is no other international organization quite like it, none which is quite so scientifically based, none whose compliments I would value more highly", said Sir David in a video message to the IUCN Congress.


Nullx is audio/video/subtitle transcoding server
C++ Python CMake
Nullx is a transcoding server which converts input audio/video files (with multiple tracks) into h264/aac/mov_text format and optionally uploads resulted files into elliptics storage.
Nullx spawns a pool of processes using ribosome::fpool each one transcodes media file using ffmpeg. If process crashes it will be automatically restarted.
Transcoding is asynchronous, server will reply to client after it is completed. If elliptics upload options are not specified in the request, server will send transcoded file to client in reply.
Server config options
tmp_dir - temporal directory where input and resulted files are stored during transcoding. transcoding_workers - number of transcoding processes, default value is 16.
Elliptics upload options
If request contains following headers, transcoded file will not be returned to client but instead will be written into elliptics.
X-Ell-Groups - groups in the format 1:2:3 where transcoded file should be written. X-Ell-ID - hex ID (128 bytes, if less, the rest will be filled with zeroes) of the key to upload. Alternatively you can specify X-Ell-Bucket and X-Ell-Key - bucket (namespace)/key pair of the key which will be used to upload transcoded file into elliptics.
Also you can specify additional metadata headers, which will force server to upload some metadata of the transcoded file into elliptics. X-Ell-Metadata-Groups - groups in the format 1:2:3 where metadata for transcoded file should be written. X-Ell-Metadata-ID or X-Ell-Metadata-Bucket + X-Ell-Metadata-Key - which key should be used to write transcoded file metadata.

Using Tooltips With Form Validation
The jQuery UI tooltip widget is a good way to describe what's required in a specific form input element. A good way to instruct the user, so that they're less likely to receive validation errors when they submit the form. Even with this help, the user will likely get something wrong, or just forget to supply information altogether. In this case, you can use the same tooltip widget to provide a subtle visual cue that there's something wrong with their input.
For example, here's what the form might look like as they're filling it out - before they make a submission attempt.
And here's what happens when the user tries to submit the form without supplying the first name field.
Note that this form validation also changes the state of the input itself. It also changes the visual state of the tooltip, but it's only displayed if the user hovers over the input, or if the input gains focus. We're not even changing the content of the tooltip when it enters the error state. We usually shouldn't have to because it's going to be something trivial the user got wrong, and the visual cue is enough to set them on the right path. Here's what the tooltip and validation code looks like.
function error( $input ) {
 return $input
 .tooltip( 'option', {
 tooltipClass: 'ui-state-error'
 }).addClass( 'ui-state-error' );
$(function () {
 $( '[title]' ).tooltip().on({
 focusin: function( e ) {
 $( e.currentTarget )
 .addClass( 'ui-state-focus' );
 focusout: function( e ) {
 $( e.currentTarget )
 .removeClass( 'ui-state-focus' );
 $( '[type="submit"]' ).button();
 var params = $( e.currentTarget )
 .reduce( function( result, i ) {
 result[ ] = i.value;
 return result;
 if (!params.firstname ) {
 error( $( '[name="firstname"]' ) );
 if (!params.lastname ) {
 error( $( '[name="lastname"]' ) );
 if (!params.address ) {
 error( $( '[name="address"]' ) );

A primary caregiver is a person responsible for the care of another person or child as defined by the law. In custody agreements or orders, the primary caregiver is the person the child lives with majority of the time.Continue Reading
The primary caregiver is the person who assumes responsibility for the health, safety and housing of another adult or child. For example, when an elderly person is incapacitated due to illness, a primary caregiver provides assistance with feeding, bathing and changing and may even handle finances when mental deficiencies exist. In some cases, the primary caregiver is also designated as power of attorney for the individual. When people reside in nursing homes or rehabilitation centers, the medical staff serve as the primary caregivers.
When illness strikes, primary caregivers often perform medical and therapeutic tasks for patients and operate as personal advocates and home-based care coordinators. In many cases, family members often serve as the primary caregiver offering both physical and moral support for ailing individuals.
In custody agreements, a parent labeled as the primary caregiver does not receive any extra authority or decision-making power than the other parent beyond day-to-day activities and decisions. However, the child or children live with the primary caregiver majority of the time and use the residence as a permanent address.Learn more about Career Aspirations

Detect human presence/absence with the Infrared Human Sensor featuring the RL78/G10 low pin count, compact, low power general-purpose microcontroller.
This Infrared Human Sensor reference design detects human presence/absence using an infrared sensor, and turns on/off a high brightness LED automatically. It can be applied to a wide range of applications including office lights and automatic doors.
The infrared LED sending signal is controlled by Renesas' RL78/G10 MCU's timer array unit (TAU01), and the receiving signal is controlled by the timer array unit (TAU00) and external interrupt terminal (INTP0). When a person is detected, the high brightness LED will light up. Once the person leaves the detection area after 10 seconds, the LED will go off and the system will enter an infrared receiving signal STOP mode. RL78/G10 offers the lowest current consumption in the industry and is ideal for human sensing.
The Infrared Human Sensor solution features the RL78/G10 10-pin LSSOP general purpose microcontroller. The sensor is inexpensive and provides energy savings. It is ideal for temporary lighting in entrances, porches, stairs, and bathrooms. For example, when people approach, the bulb lights up, when they leave, the bulb goes out automatically.
- Demo board includes the RL78/G10 MCU
- Infrared detection function includes an infrared signal emitting circuit and an infrared receiving detection circuit
- In infrared detection status, the system executes the infrared signal emitting task and the infrared receiving detection task at the same time
- If a human body is detected, LED lighting is turned on for 10s; when the LED is ON, infrared detection stops. After 10s, the LED goes out. The system continues to detect whether the human body comes close or not according to the interval time controlled by a watchdog timer interrupt
- The system uses a 40kHz infrared carrier wave signal, to reduce interference
- When the system is idle, it enters infrared detection status every 400ms

Carnation means "a red flower". The etymology comes from caro (meat). The original meaning is Latin carnationem (meat).
Carnation is the perennial plant which makes bright red flowers. It is indigenous to from Southern Europe to Mediterranean coasts in Western Asia. In Islamic countries where the worship of idols are banned, they use a carnation as Arabesque's patterns. The red carnation's flower language is "the love for mother", and so Japan has the culture where children gives red carnation to their mother in Mother's Day.

How do you keep pothos from getting leggy?
There are five main ways to help a plant to look less leggy:
 1. Stake them up
 2. Cut them back
 3. Give them more light
 4. Propagate them
 5. Plant multiple plants together
Yeah, yeah, it's a philodendron in the picture. They get leggy too.
I go back and forth when it comes to leggy plants. I like them when they're hanging because I think the legginess gives a nice silhouette, whereas a fuller plant can well, get in your way and block out all the light.
But when they get leggy on shelves and on the floor, they can look a bit…sad and unloved, which isn't really the vibe I'm after.
If your plant is leggy, it doesn't mean it's unhealthy, or that you're a bad plant parent. It's just natural.
monstera leaf
What does leggy mean?
Leggy just means that your plant is growing and growing and growing but not producing that many leaves. You sometimes hear plants being referred to as spindly, which is the same as being leggy.
monstera leaf
Why do plants get leggy?
Vining plants vine because they're trying to grow towards the light. As they get further up, they grow bigger leaves closer together on the vine to take advantage of all the light.
If a plant is trailing, they'll receive less light, and consequently will grow smaller leaves further apart and look leggy. There's no advantage to them growing a lot of big leaves because the energy expended the growing a massive leaf won't recouped by the light received.
It's a way for the plant to grow without expending unnecessary energy.
monstera leaf
So how do we stop plants from getting leggy?
Stake them up
If you give a plant a moss pole, trellis, or even bamboo cane to grow up, you can replicate the conditions under which it'll grow bigger leaves.
In the wild, vining plants wind around trees to get to the light, so by providing it with a 'tree' to grow up, you can convince it to grow bigger leaves more closely together.
This does work, but it's obviously not a quick solution. If you don't like the look of leggy plants and you're not after the trailing look, introducing a stake early on will lead to bigger, fuller growth in the future.
monstera leaf
Cut them back
This is another long term approach to creating fuller plant,s so if you're after a quick fix look further down the article.
If you cut back the leggy growth not only will you er, not have a leggy plant any more, but the plant will be able to put its energy into growing bigger leaves, rather than sustaining the leggy growth that's not getting enough light.
I know it sounds counterintuitive to cut a plant back to make it fuller, but it works, promise.
monstera leaf
Give them more light
The main reason plants grow leggily (what you mean, that's not a word?) is that they're not getting enough light.
Therefore, it stands to reason that if you give a plant more light, it'll grow less leggy.
You know what I mean.
The easiest way to do this is to move your plant to a brighter spot. Just make sure you don't move from a low light position to full sun, because you'll be dealing with the opposite problem, which is leaves burned to a fookin' crisp.
And whilst legginess is a personal preference, only psychopaths prefer their plants dead.
Grow lights are another option. Have a look at my resources page for the ones I recommend. I replaced a reading light in a dark corner with a grow light and I have a couple of philodendra (I will never accept that word, NEVER) that live there and seem quite happy.
There seems to be a lot of noise in the online world about buying lightbulbs that produce grow light-style spectrums (spectra??), but I'm not one for unnecessarily replacing perfectly serviceable light bulbs, so expect a review in about a decade.
Which is apparently how long our eco-friendly bulbs will last.
Oh well.
monstera leaf
Propagate them
This is following on from cutting them back, but it's a great way to reduce waste.
You can propagate the cuttings you snipped, and then plant them back in the soil for an immediately bushier plant. Yay!
Actually, I wouldn't recommend that because I'm a killjoy that doesn't want you to have full plants it's easier to check on the progress on propagations if you put the cuttings in water.
When you cut the plant back, be sure to have a few leaf nodes. If you're not sure if you have a node, remove a few leaves and make sure the point you removed at least one leaf from is in the water.
(Also be sure to put your cutting in the right way up. Sounds obvious, but I've accidentally dunked a few cuttings in head-first in my time, and then wondered why I'm not seeing roots)
Once your cuttings have roots an inch or so long, pop them back in with the mother plant, being sure to keep the soil moist whilst the cutting transitions.
monstera leaf
Plant multiple plants together
Right, rich people, this one's for you.
Instead of buying one plant, buy a few of the same type and whack them all in a pot together. Hey presto! Instant big-ass plant!
A few tips though:
 - Don't re pot straight away. Give them all time to acclimatise to your home. Not so instant I suppose. Read up on repotting here.
 - You can pot up different types of pothos or philodendron together for a really cool display. Just make sure they all require the same care.
 - Be vigilant about pests. You don't want to bring home one infested plant and spread it to the others
 - Some plants grow big roots and won't really like this approach in the long run – monstera deliciosa aren't fans, and I feel like ZZ plants would struggle.
I don't actually know if monstera deliciosa, in particular, don't like to be potted together, or if they're just always mentioned as a cautionary tale because so many people try to get fuller plants by potting up loads of cuttings together.
I'm worried because I have three monstera potted up together. They'recurrently in a pot that's far too big for them, but in 20 years or so I may regret my decision 😂😂😂
It's best to go with plants that have small root systems – pothos and calathea are good options.
two calathea beauty stars
I was plant shopping at the weekend and found these two Calathea Beauty Star at Dean's garden centre in York. They're teeny tiny, but I'm going to plant them together so by the end of the year they'll hopefully be the size of one normal plant. For £5.98 for two, you really can't complain.
Let them get leggy
If you like the trailing look, absolutely go for it. I think it creates a gorgeous, soft effect, but personally I only have one trailing plant. Not because I don't like how they look or anything, but because they're a ballache to water.
I have a MASSIVE philodendron scandens over my fish tank and it's a pain. I have to get it down and soak it because I don't want to get water in the fish tank electrics, and the thing has attached itself to its pot (the roots coil out of the bottom), so repotting isn't really an option.
It's a menace. Looks cool as hell though.
And so concludes my tips on leggy plants. IF you have any questions, then either leave me a comment or email me here.

 1. Ha! Thank you for this hilarious read!! Who knew an article about plants would have me cracking up.. Thank you for sharing, great info, please keep posting :]
 2. Hi, Your post is so entertaining. Glad to have stumbled by it when I was looking for some tips for my leggy pothos. BTW, i feel so guilty each time one of my plants die for various reasons. Any tips about how to overcome it?
 3. Errrr…practice?
 Jokes aside, I also feel awful if my plants die, but I tell myself that I'm trying my best to learn how to care for them. If you try to learn from every plant death, you can reduce the chance of the same mistake being repeated. And you can help other people with their plants and avoid more deaths.
 Oh, and if pests eat your plant, think of how much fun they had eating it. I've provided many delicious Calathea to support spider mite mothers!

Scripts vs. Functions
Program files can be scripts that simply execute a series of MATLAB® statements, or they can be functions that also accept input arguments and produce output. Both scripts and functions contain MATLAB code, and both are stored in text files with a.m extension. However, functions are more flexible and more easily extensible.
For example, create a script in a file named triarea.m that computes the area of a triangle:
b = 5;
h = 3;
a = 0.5*(b.* h)
a =
function a = triarea(b,h)
a = 0.5*(b.* h);
a1 = triarea(1,5)
a2 = triarea(2,10)
a3 = triarea(3,6)

Habbes - what does Habbes surname mean?
Recorded in many forms including Habbert, Happert, Hobbert, Hobart, Hobbart, Habert, Happel, Hadeke, Habbema, Hobbema, Hapke, Hatje, Hablet, Hablot, Habbes, Haps, Habben, Hobben, Hobbing, and Hubbard, this ancient surname can only be described as 'European'. It derives from the Anglo-Saxon personal name Hugibert or Hubert, itself a compound of the elements 'hug' meaning 'heart', and 'beorht' - bright or famous, a translation which no doubt contributed to its early popularity. The name was probably introduced in Britain by the Saxon invaders of the 8th century, although its first known recording would seem to be that of 'Eudo filius Huberti' (Eudo, son of Hubert) in the Domesday Book of 1086. This was not of course a surname, the first of these being Roger Hubert, who appears in the 1199 Fine Court Rolls of Northumberland, whilst other examples of the recordings include William Hobard of Suffolk in 1291, John Hobart also of Suffolk in 1346, whilst Pastor John Hubbard who embarked from London on 17th April 1635, bound for Virginia was one of the early settlers in the New England colonies. He was also one of the first students at the fledgling Harvard University, of which in 1688, he became President. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Roger Hubard, which was dated 1327, in the Subsidy Rolls of Somerset, during the reign of King Edward 111, known as the Father of the Navy, 1327 - 1377. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to 'develop' often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

The XAT answer key 2024 is an important piece of documentation that candidates will require in various stages of their admissions process. There is a lot of vital information provided on the XAT answer key. The XAT 2024 answer key/response sheet includes the following details:
Que: What is the significance of the XAT Answer Key 2024?
Ans: The XAT Answer Key 2024 serves the purpose of providing candidates who took the exam with a provisional solution to the questions posed in the XAT 2024. It includes the correct answers, enabling candidates to estimate their scores and assess their performance in the exam.
Que: How do I calculate my score using the XAT answer key?
Ans: To calculate your score using the XAT answer key, assign one mark for each correct answer. Deduct 0.25 marks for every incorrect answer in part 1. No marks will be subtracted for incorrect answers in part 3. For unanswered questions beyond 8, deduct 0.10 marks for each. Sum up your marks following this pattern and convert the total to percentile.
Aspirants who appear for the XAT 2024 exam must be aware of all the necessary details about the XAT answer key so that they are not confused about it when it is released. Candidates can take a look at the important points to remember related to the XAT answer key mentioned below:
As per the marking scheme of the XAT 2024 exam, a +1 mark is awarded for every correct response, and -0.25 is deducted for every incorrect response. If a candidate has not attempted more than 8 questions, then -.10 is deducted. To calculate the XAT 2024 score, you first need to compare the system-recorded response and the correct answers provided by the panel.
Calculate the total marks you scored from each correct response. Now, deduct the marks from the sum as per the incorrect responses and unattempted questions. This way, you can calculate your XAT score using the answer key and estimate how much percentile you can score in the exam. Here's the formula to calculate the XAT 2024 score.
XAT Score = No. of Correct Answers - No. of Incorrect Answers
A percentile score is a measure used to evaluate a candidate's performance in the XAT exam, relative to the performance of other candidates who took the test at the same time. The percentile score is calculated based on the candidate's raw scores in each section of the exam.
To determine your XAT percentile, you need to first find out your rank in the exam. Your rank refers to the position you secured in the list of all candidates who took the test. Once you know your rank, you then need to divide it by the total number of candidates who sat for the exam. Finally, you need to multiply the outcome by 100 to get your percentile score.
For instance, if you are among the top 10% of candidates who took the XAT exam, your percentile score will be 90. The formula to calculate your XAT percentile score is as follows:
XAT Percentile = Candidate's XAT Rank/ Total Candidates x 100
Candidates can use our XAT 2024 Percentile Predictor to get an estimate of their percentile based on their raw XAT score.
To estimate the probable marks scored in the entrance exam and analyse the XAT answer key 2024, it is important to have a detailed knowledge of the marking scheme of XAT 2024.
For every correct answer, 1 mark is given to the candidate.
For any wrong answer, 0.25 marks are deducted.
0.10 marks will be deducted for more than eight unanswered questions (consecutively).
The General Knowledge section of XAT will have no negative marking.
The scores of the General Knowledge section will not be considered for calculating the XAT score.

For No Answer/Unattempted Question
For 8 Consecutive Unattempted Questions
Candidates who find any discrepancy or any wrong answer in the released XAT answer key 2024 can raise objections against the same before the deadline. They have to produce adequate proof for the raised objection. The period in which the candidates can raise will be updated on the official website of XAT. Here's how to challenge XAT answer key 2024.
After the XAT exam is conducted, the authorities release the provisional answer key, which contains the correct answers to all the questions asked in the exam. Once the provisional answer key is released, candidates can check their responses and compare them with the answers given in the answer key. If any candidate finds any discrepancy or error in the provisional answer key, they can raise objections against it within a given period.
The exam authority will then review all the objections raised by the candidates and assess their validity. If any of the objections are found to be genuine, the XAT 2024 answer key will be revised accordingly, and an updated key will be released. This revised answer key will be the official answer key, which will be used to calculate the final results of the exam.
The final XAT answer key 2024 will be made available for download on the exam website once all the objections have been reviewed. If no objections are deemed to be valid, the XAT 2024 final answer key won't be announced separately, and the results will be calculated using the provisional answer key that was previously made public.
It is important to note that no objections will be entertained against the exam results, which will be based on the XAT 2024 final answer key. Therefore, candidates are advised to carefully review the provisional answer key and raise any objections they may have within the stipulated time frame.
XAT 2024 result will be released in the last week of January 2024, by XLRI Jamshedpur on the official website. Candidates who appeared for the exam will be able to download the scorecard which contains important details like the Date of Examination, Date of the Result Declaration, Name of the Candidate, XAT ID, Date of Birth, Exam Centre Name and Address, XAT 2024 Overall and Sectional Percentile, etc.
After the declaration of the XAT 2024 result, XLRI Jamshedpur will release the XAT cutoff for the academic session. Candidates will be shortlisted for the GD & PI, and WAT rounds based on their performance on the XAT 2024. All XAT participating colleges will conduct the XAT 2024 selection process in February or March 2024.
The XAT 2024 selection process will include essay writing, group discussions, and personal interviews. The institute establishes a minimum cutoff for each category of applicants to the HRM and BM programs, particularly for this purpose. After going through the personality assessment process, candidates are shortlisted for admission offers. Admission offers are sent via email to the selected candidates in May.

New Asbestos Removal Method Discovered
Researchers in the United Kingdom are currently working on removing all of the left over asbestos in mines across the world. Not only would the method rapidly reduce the amount of asbestos, it would also reduce the amount of carbon in the air.
 Jenine McCutcheon, a geomicrobiologist at the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom, has been working alongside colleagues to create a method of turning the left over mined asbestos into carbonate rock. Using bacterial mats, McCutcheon is hoping that she can speed up the natural process of asbestos turning into carbonate rock.
 As this process is completely natural, McCutcheon states, "we are looking to accelerate this process and transition it from a pile of asbestos waste to a deposit of carbonate mineral which is completely harmless."
 As of now, these piles of mined asbestos fibers can absorb the carbon from carbon dioxide containing water and turn into harmless carbonate rock piles in around a year or so. However, without the help from humans, not all of the asbestos have a chance to completely become carbonate. In these asbestos piles, water must reach the asbestos for them to become carbonate. Large amounts of asbestos stay at the bottom of the piles, never coming into contact with rainwater and not becoming carbonate.
 McCutcheon has devised a system of using cyanobacteria to concentrate more carbon into these asbestos piles and ensuring all of them can become carbonate. According to McCutcheon, cyanobacteria "are really good at concentrating carbon from the atmosphere because unlike most bacteria, they photosynthesize and absorb carbon dioxide during that process. They collect it, they concentrate it, and when they die, they are decomposed by other bacteria, and that replenishes the supply of dissolved carbon in solution."
 With this method, mines across the world could be ridded of asbestos.

Rizeh is a Persian word that means "tiny," and our Rizeh robot is very small indeed. Driven by two cellphone vibrators, it's very low-cost to build and implement. The robot is able to perform basic linear and circular motions, and with its infrared detectors it can successfully follow a black line on a white background. To our knowledge it's the smallest line-following vibrobot in the world!
We applied some techniques to minimize the electronics needed to control the robot, which is crucial in building small bots. Instead of a motor driver, our control scheme employs the internal PWM capabilities of the microcontroller itself to control the vibrators. The final robot weighs just 5 grams and measures 19mm×16mm×10mm.
Our line-following test includes curves, lines, and corners, and the robot is able to successfully follow the line. Rizeh won first place at RoboCup IranOpen 2013 in the Demo (Freestyle) League. Here's how you can make it.

Plants of the Eastern Broadleaf Forest
Explore the plants of other plant communities
Eastern deciduous forests consist of primarily broad-leaved trees that lose their leaves each autumn. There may be a scattering of evergreens in some locations having poorer soils, such as rock outcroppings and wetlands. Wildflower species include spring ephemerals that typically bloom before the trees begin leafing out each spring. Later blooming wildflowers are generally found at the forest's edge and in openings where sunlight reaches the forest floor.
Individual species have preferences to where they grow. For instance, some species will tend to be found in seasonally flooded forests along the river's edge while others will tend to live in drier upland forests.

Local councils charge rates on all properties in their areas to raise funds to pay for the services and infrastructure they provide.
Councils spend money on a wide range of services and infrastructure, including:
- roads and bridges
- housing planning and development
- waste and recycling
- water and sewer drainage
- sport and recreation
- health and safety.
About 60% of council revenue comes rates. This is the only tax councils are allowed to raise.
Property values and rates
In South Australia, council rates are a form of property taxation and property values play an important part in determining how much each individual rate payer contributes.
As it is a system of taxation, the rates paid may not directly relate to the services used by each rate payer. An 'ad valorem' principle applies. This means that the higher the value of the property, the higher the amount to be paid in the form of rates.
A full explanation of how rates are determined can be found on the website of the Local Government Association of South Australia.

What Is a Letter of Intent?
Letters of intent, commonly referred to as 'heads of agreement', are used to indicate the terms under which two or more people intend to enter into a contractual relationship when doing business together.
The term 'letter of intent' has no legal significance. However, the courts have often treated so-called letters of intent as contracts capable of being enforced, so care must be taken when drafting them.
One legally binding clause that is normally included in a letter of intent is the confidentiality clause in which it is agreed that confidential information acquired during negotiations will not be disclosed to any third party or otherwise used.
Why Use Letters of Intent?
Many letters of intent are really a mechanism by which the parties to a deal give each other reassurance of their intentions. They provide strategic guidance as to how a deal is to be done. They are also useful when outsiders need to be brought into the picture. For example, a takeover deal may need to be financed by institutional investors. The letter of intent is a valuable tool for them in their decision-making.
A letter of intent can be submitted to the relevant authorities in order to obtain a clearance that a particular way of structuring a deal will not cause problems: for example, obtaining a tax clearance from the Inland Revenue.
What Problems Might Arise?
Letters of intent can present problems. Unless drafted carefully, a letter of intent can create a contract, enforceable in the courts. For example, the use of the words'subject to contract', which normally operate to show that contractual relations will be created later, are not always effective in this regard. Similarly, the courts have ruled on several occasions that work done following agreement of a letter of intent should be paid for at a reasonable rate, when the anticipated contract did not materialise.
If negotiations fail, there may be a damaging 'loss of face' if details have been disclosed to third parties.
In addition, UK tax law will often catch 'arrangements' in which a series of predetermined steps is carried out with the effect that tax payable is reduced. The existence of a letter of intent could justify the tax authorities arguing that an arrangement was in effect. This can be of particular importance in management buyouts, sales of businesses and similar deals.
What Should be Included?
Normally, letters of intent should contain the following clauses:
- a statement of the law under which the letters are drafted;
- a statement that they are not binding, or clear identification of any parts that are intended to be contractually binding;
- any provisions for non-completion (e.g. where one side must do work to progress the deal, and whether they will be compensated for this);
- a 'lock out' clause is common, in which the parties agree not to have negotiations with competitors for a period;
- a non-disclosure ('confidentiality') clause defining to whom (if anyone) disclosure of terms can be made.
Recently, the court issued guidance regarding when letters of intent might most usefully be used in construction agreements. In the court's view, letters of intent are most suitable for use when the following are agreed or there is little chance of dispute regarding them:
- the scope of the works;
- the price of the works;
- the date of completion of the works and any 'milestones' prior to final completion; and
- the main contract terms.
The use of letters of intent is also most appropriate when there are good reasons to commence the works prior to the formal contract documents being in place.

Let Ω ⊂ Rn be a bounded domain and let f : Ω × RN × RN×n → R. Consider the functional
over the class of Sobolev functions W1,q(Ω;RN) (1 ≤ q ≤ ∞) for which the integral on the right is well defined. In this paper we establish sufficient conditions on a given function u0 and f to ensure that u0 provides an Lr local minimizer for I where 1 ≤ r ≤ ∞. The case r = ∞ is somewhat known and there is a considerable literature on the subject treating the case min(n, N) = 1, mostly based on the field theory of the calculus of variations. The main contribution here is to present a set of sufficient conditions for the case 1 ≤ r < ∞. Our proof is based on an indirect approach and is largely motivated by an argument of Hestenes relying on the concept of 'directional convergence'.

Idaho's WWAMI is a partnership between the University of Washington School of Medicine and the states of Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Since 1972, the University of Idaho has partnered with the UW School of Medicine to help educate Idaho's future physicians.
Each year, a cohort of 40 medical students that are residents of the Gem State complete their first and second year of medical training at U of I. Students are dual-enrolled at the University of Idaho and the UW School of Medicine while completing their Foundations Phase (18 months). The Clinical Phase can be completed in Idaho, Seattle or across the five-state WWAMI region.
The curriculum taught at each WWAMI site, including the Seattle site, is a joint product of the UW School of Medicine. While each site has its own unique instructors and may have specific offerings, such as the wilderness medicine elective offered to Idaho and Seattle students, all WWAMI students learn the same core curriculum at the same time.
Idaho WWAMI has five primary goals for the State of Idaho:
- Provide publicly supported medical education
- Increase the number of primary care physicians
- Provide community-based medical education
- Expand graduate medical education (residency training) and continuing medical education
- Provide all of this in a cost-effective manner
Idaho WWAMI has an excellent rate of return: 51% of our graduates choose to practice in Idaho — well above the national average of 39%.

Getting the message "Please check the Removable Storage Management MMC"
Problem Restoring Data When Duplicate Media Names Exist
If you use Windows 2000 Backup with a stand-alone tape unit and a single
scheduled backup job, when you attempt to restore your data you may
experience difficulty selecting the correct media name.
Even though you have selected the correct media name and you are sure that
the media you are using has that media name, after you click the Start
Restore button, you may receive the following messages:
Waiting for tape
Tape loading in process… Click Cancel to stop.
Requesting tape: media name
Then you receive the following message:
Place Media media name into drive or library unit
After short a period of time, Ntbackup replaces the blue progress bar with
the following message and the only option is to Cancel:
Please check the Removable Storage Management MMC.
All media that is used for a backup or restore, or that is prepared for
use, is entered into the Removable Storage database. Duplicate media names
are permitted because each medium has a Global Unique Identifier (GUID).
Delete all of the duplicate media names, so that you can restore from a
specific tape.
To delete duplicate media names from the Removable Storage database, follow
these steps:
1. Remove any media from the tape unit.
2. From within the Backup utility, click the Restore tab.
3. In the left pane, expand the Media Pool that represents where
particular media is stored (such as Travan, 4mm DDS, or miniQIC).
4. In the right pane, select all duplicate media names by holding down the
CTRL key, and then clicking each duplicate media name.
5. On the Tools menu, point to Media Tools, and then click Delete from
6. In the Warning dialog box, click Yes to confirm the action.
7. While the Backup program is running, insert the backup media from which
you want to restore your data. The media name will be restored to the
default backup media pool and the Removable Storage database.
After you complete these steps, you will be able to restore your data from
the specific tape that you put in the tape unit.
To avoid this problem, use a separate backup job, and separate media, for
each backup. For example, a Monday through Friday backup scheme would
require you to schedule a backup job for each day, with a corresponding
unique name for the media used for each backup job.
This behavior is by design.
Removable Storage provides the infrastructure necessary to share media
among various applications; it also ensures that all media are used in such
a way as to preserve the data they contain. Removable Storage accomplishes
this by identifying and verifying the identity of each medium.
For more information about how Removable Storage verifies the identity of
media, see "Media Identification and Naming" in Chapter 2 of the Windows
2000 Server Resource Kit Operations Guide.

Let $s > 1 + n/2$ for $n \in \Bbb N$, and $s$ be an integer. If $f \in C^0 ( [0,\infty), W^{s,2} (\Bbb R^n )) \cap C^1 ( [0, \infty), W^{s-1,2}(\Bbb R^n)) $ then how can I show that $$ f \in C_b^1 ( [0,\infty) \times \Bbb R^n)?$$ I am trying to prove this by using the Sobolev embedding theorem:
If $s > n/2$ then there exists $c>0$:$$ \| g \|_{L^\infty(\Bbb R^n)} \leqslant c \| g \|_{W^{s,2}(\Bbb R^n )} \; \text{and} \; g \text{ is continuous}$$ for $g \in W^{s,2} (\Bbb R^n )$.
Here $f \in C^1 ( [0, \infty), W^{s-1,2}(\Bbb R^n)) $ means that $\| f(t) \|_{W^{s-1,2} (\Bbb R^n )}$ is continuously differentiable on $[0,\infty)$, $C_b^k$ means that $k$ times continuously differentiable functions with bounded derivatives up to order $k$, and $W^{s,p}$ means the usual Sobolev space.
You may use the additional condition $f \in C^\infty ([0,\infty) \times \Bbb R^n )$ if you need.
