Word Origin & History
O.E. half, halb (Mercian), healf (W. Saxon) "side, part" (original sense preserved in behalf), from P.Gmc. *khalbas "something divided" (cf. O.N. halfr, O.Fris., M.Du. half, Ger. halb, Goth. halbs "half"). Used also in O.E. phrases as in modern Ger., to mean "one half unit less than," cf. þridda
healf "two and a half," lit. "half third." The construction in two and a half, etc., is first recorded c.1200. Of time, in half past ten, etc., first attested 1750; in Scottish, the half often is prefixed to the following hour, as in Ger. (halb elf "ten thirty"). Half-and-half "ale and porter" is from 1756; half-baked in sense of "silly" is from 1855; half-breed "mixed race" is from 1760; half-blooded in this sense is from c.1600. Half-brother (early 14c.) and half-sister (c.1200) were in M.E.. Halftime in football is from 1871. half-truth is first recorded 1658; half-hearted is from 1610s. To go off half-cocked "speak or act too hastily" (1833) is in allusion to firearms.

70% Smaller PNG Files
CodeKit can reduce PNG file sizes by about 70% with virtually no change in image quality—it's straight-up witchcraft.
To do this, CodeKit uses a tool called PNGQuant, which is written by Kornel Lesiński. Kornel also develops the industry-standard Mac App, ImageOptim. He was kind enough to license PNGQuant to me so that you get the same state-of-the-art optimizer in CodeKit.
The Image Inspector
Select one or more PNG images in CodeKit and you'll see the Image Inspector:
If you don't see this section of the Image Inspector, make sure you've selected only PNG images.
The primary option is which optimizer to run. CodeKit contains two:
- PNGQuant (default)
Which Optimizer Should I Use?
PNGQuant is the right choice 98% of the time. However, it may produce "banding" in images with subtle gradients like fog or clouds. For these images, consider OptiPNG.
OptiPNG is 100% lossless and works by deleting extra metadata and then recompressing your image file. However, since modern image-editing apps already write really efficient PNGs, you'll typically see only about 5% reductions with OptiPNG.
Below 85%, you may start to see "noise" in the optimized image. However, for images containing mostly solid blocks of colors (such as UI elements, screenshots, etc.) setting a lower value can reduce file sizes by 90% or more without any loss in visual quality. (Note: this value does not apply to OptiPNG, which is always 100% lossless.)
A Note About "Initial Size"
This is how large an image was the first time CodeKit ever saw it. The value never changes. So, if you start with a small image (say, 50x50 px) and then replace it with a bigger one (say, 5000x5000 px), it's possible that the current size may be larger than the initial size, even after optimization. In this case, the initial size isn't really accurate because it was set when a smaller file occupied the path.
Output Path & Action
These options apply to files of all types. They are explained in Setting Output Paths & Actions.
Normally, CodeKit will not copy or process a file if its output path is the same as its input path. The exception to this is images.

text: Cold forging is a forming process below the recrystallizing temperature of the material, and it is forged below the recovery temperature. It is customary to call the forging of unheated blank cold forging in production. Most of the cold forging materials are aluminum and some alloys, copper and some alloys, low carbon steel, medium carbon steel and low alloy structural steel with low deformation resistance and good plasticity at room temperature. Cold forgings have good surface quality and high dimensional accuracy, and can replace some cutting. Cold forging can strengthen the metal and improve the strength of the parts.

MySQL 8 is GA and it has a variety of new features. Recently, we happened to work with resource groups to restrict resource utilization for a MySQL thread.
That's why I thought of writing this blog post: to give you a quick introduction to resource groups, an idea of how to dynamically allocate them and to discuss a related bug report.
Introduction To Resource Groups:
A resource group, a new feature in MySQL 8, is the entity that defines the allowed resources consumption for threads pertaining to that group. Group attributes enable control over resources and hence the database threads get restricted with those limits.
Resource groups introduce the following associated components:
1. SQL to manage the resource groups (create, alter, assign, drop).
2. Resource groups related privileges.
3. The information_schema.resource_groups table, which holds groups details.
4. A new column was added to the performance_schema.threads table to show us the assignments of threads to respective resource groups.

5.7. Scalar Coordinate Variables
When a variable has an associated coordinate which is
single-valued, that coordinate may be represented as a
scalar variable. Since there is no associated dimension
these scalar coordinate variables should be attached to
a data variable via the
Under COARDS the method of providing a single valued coordinate was to add a dimension of size one to the variable, and supply the corresponding coordinate variable. The new scalar coordinate variable is a convenience feature which avoids adding size one dimensions to variables. Scalar coordinate variables have the same information content and can be used in the same contexts as a size one coordinate variable. Note however that use of this feature with a latitude, longitude, vertical, or time coordinate will inhibit COARDS conforming applications from recognizing them.
Once a name is used for a scalar coordinate variable it can not be used for a 1D coordinate variable. For this reason we strongly recommend against using a name for a scalar coordinate variable that matches the name of any dimension in the file.
Example 5.11. Multiple forecasts from a single analysis
dimensions: lat = 180 ; lon = 360 ; time = UNLIMITED ; variables: double atime atime:standard_name = "forecast_reference_time" ; atime:units = "hours since 1999-01-01 00:00" ; double time(time); time:standard_name = "time" ; time:units = "hours since 1999-01-01 00:00" ; double lon(lon) ; lon:long_name = "station longitude"; lon:units = "degrees_east"; double lat(lat) ; lat:long_name = "station latitude" ; lat:units = "degrees_north" ; double p500 p500:long_name = "pressure" ; p500:units = "hPa" ; p500:positive = "down" ; float height(time,lat,lon); height:long_name = "geopotential height" ; height:standard_name = "geopotential_height" ; height:units = "m" ; height:coordinates = "atime p500" ; data: time = 6., 12., 18., 24. ; atime = 0. ; p500 = 500. ;
In this example both the analysis time and the single pressure level are represented using scalar coordinate variables. The analysis time is identified by the standard name "forecast_reference_time" while the valid time of the forecast is identified by the standard name "time".

The baseball side of Kerouac
Author obsessively wrote fantasy games
Jack Kerouac created team cards for a fantasy baseball game he invented and a broadsheet for his fantasy horse-racing circuit. (New York Times News Service)
 Jack Kerouac
NEW YORK – Almost all his life, Jack Kerouac had a hobby that even close friends and fellow Beats such as Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs never knew about.
He obsessively played a fantasy baseball game of his own invention, charting the exploits of made-up players such as Wino Love, Warby Pepper, Heinie Twiett, Phegus Cody and Zagg Parker, who toiled on imaginary teams named either for cars (the Pittsburgh Plymouths and New York Chevvies, for example) or for colors (the Boston Grays and Cincinnati Blacks).
All of these "publications," some typed, some handwritten and often pasted into old-fashioned composition notebooks, are part of the Jack Kerouac Archive at the Berg Collection of the New York Public Library. The curator, Isaac Gewirtz, has written a 75-page book about them, "Kerouac at Bat: Fantasy Sports and the King of the Beats," to be published next week by the library and available, at least for now, only in its gift shop.
Gewirtz said he had included much of the fantasy material in a 2007 Kerouac exhibition he mounted at the library, and had planned to add a chapter about the fantasy sports in the catalog but ran out of space. "I'm glad I waited," he said, "because it forced me to go into it all in much more depth."
The game could be played using cards alone, but Gewirtz thinks that more often Kerouac determined the result of a pitch by tossing some sort of projectile at a diagramed chart on the wall. In 1956, he switched to a new set of cards, which used hieroglyphic symbols instead of descriptions. Carefully preserved inside plastic folders at the library, they look as mysterious as runes.
The horse-racing game was played by rolling marbles and a silver ball bearing down a tilted Parcheesi board, using a starting gate made of toothpicks.
Apparently, the ball bearing traveled faster than the marbles, some of which were intentionally nicked to indicate equine fragility and mortality. So the ball bearing became the nearly invincible horse Repulsion, "King of the Turf," whose legendary speed and stamina are celebrated in Kerouac's racing sheets.
A byline that frequently appears in the racing sheets and the baseball newsletters is "Jack Lewis," an Anglicization of Kerouac's French first name, Jean-Louis.

Edit workflow enactment permissions
To edit the enactment permissions of a workflow, double click the process shape and edit the enactment permissions from the properties panel.
Enactment permissions can be defined against a workflow to control which groups and (by membership of these groups) agents are able to enact the workflow on a ticket. If the workflow has enactment permissions, then the current agent must be a member of one of the groups defined by these enactment permissions. If the agent is not in an enactment permission group, then the Flowset assistant app will be disabled and the agent will not be able to transition the ticket through this workflow.
Edit enactment permission
Click the enactment permission add (or edit if permissions already exist) button to edit the permissions. A modal is displayed showing a list of all the groups defined in Zendesk. Select each group whose members are allowed to enact this workflow on a ticket. If there are no enactment permission groups selected, then any agent can enact the workflow. It is possible to define enactment permissions at a transition or activity level. If these lower level permissions are defined then they override those defined at the workflow level.


ProcedureHow to Set Up a Slave Server
 1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.
 2. Edit the /etc/hosts or /etc/inet/ipnodes file on the slave server to add the name and IP addresses of all the other NIS servers.
 3. Change directory to /var/yp on the slave server.
 Note –
 You must first configure the new slave server as an NIS client so that it can get the NIS maps from the master for the first time. See Setting Up NIS Clients for details.
 4. Initialize the slave server as a client.
 # /usr/sbin/ypinit -c
 The ypinit command prompts you for a list of NIS servers. Enter the name of the local slave you are working on first, then the master server, followed by the other NIS slave servers in your domain in order from the physically closest to the furthest in network terms.
 5. Determine if the NIS client is running, then start the client service as needed.
 # svcs network/nis/client
 STATE STIME FMRI
 online 20:32:56 svc:/network/nis/client:default
 If svc:/network/nis/client is displayed with an online state, then NIS is running. If the service state is disabled, then NIS is not running.
 1. If the NIS client is running, restart the client service.
 # svcadm restart network/nis/client
 2. If the NIS client is not running, start the client service.
 # svcadm enable network/nis/client
 6. Initialize this machine as a slave.
 # /usr/sbin/ypinit -s master
 Where master is the machine name of the existing NIS master server.
 Repeat the procedures described in this section for each machine you want configured as an NIS slave server.


Is there a form for reporting travel expenses?
Yes. The form is intended to help you claim your travel expenses. If your research institution requires you to use forms that are comparable in terms of content or even better suited to the specific travel activity for the project, you can continue to use these forms. However, the FWF project number must appear on this form.
Statement of travel expenses (pdf, 1.10MB)
What information must always be provided when reporting travel expenses?
The statements must clearly identify who travelled where, when and for what purpose. If this is not clear from the research institution's detailed list of expenses for projects conducted at university research institutions according to the Universities Act 2002 (UG 2002), additional information must be included with the statement (additional list by the principal investigator).
How do I find out how to calculate the travel expenses?
Please ask the finance/human resources department of your research institution for projects running at a research institution subject to the Universities Act 2002 (UG 2002).
Otherwise, the following applies (based on the federal regulations governing travel costs (RGV)):
The domestic rates of the RGV are:
Per diem allowance: €26.40 per day (Rate I), €19.80 per day (Rate II)
Overnight accommodation rate: €15.00
Rate I is used for trips lasting less than 30 days, and Rate II is used for trips starting on day 31.
The per diem allowances for international travel expenses can be downloaded as a PDF document.
Please pay attention to the following breakdown of the rate levels for work-related international travel:
Rate level 1: Non-academic staff
Rate level 2a: Mag./Dr./DI/research grant recipients
Rate level 2b: Academic title: Univ.-Ass./Univ.-Doz.
Rate level 3: Academic title: Univ.-Prof.
Federal Law Gazette on International Travel Rates (pdf, 102KB)
The kilometre allowance rates are:
Kilometre allowance: €0.42
Additional amount for passengers involved in the project: €0.05
The amounts apply for domestic and international travel. The audit department usually does not accept the kilometre allowance for trips along main railway routes but rather the analogous costs of a second-class train ticket.
Please be aware that no additional costs (such as motorway tolls, motorway tax stickers, parking fees, petrol receipts) may be counted towards your travel expenses. All costs incurred are covered by the lump sum paid per kilometre. Even in the case of small amounts, any expenses mistakenly submitted twice will be reclaimed by the FWF Audit department.

For single-byte character sets, if
n > 256, then Oracle Database returns the binary equivalent of
n mod 256. For multibyte character sets,
n must resolve to one entire code point. Invalid code points are not validated, and the result of specifying invalid code points is indeterminate.

The following example is run on an ASCII-based machine with the database character set defined as WE8ISO8859P1:
SELECT CHR(67)||CHR(65)||CHR(84) "Dog" FROM DUAL; Dog --- CAT
To produce the same results on an EBCDIC-based machine with the WE8EBCDIC1047 character set, the preceding example would have to be modified as follows:
SELECT CHR(195)||CHR(193)||CHR(227) "Dog" FROM DUAL; Dog --- CAT
For multibyte character sets, this sort of concatenation gives different results. For example, given a multibyte character whose hexadecimal value is
a1 representing the first byte and
a2 the second byte), you must specify for
n the decimal equivalent of '
a1a2', or 41378. That is, you must specify:
SELECT CHR(41378) FROM DUAL;
You cannot specify the decimal equivalent of a1 concatenated with the decimal equivalent of a2, as in the following example:
SELECT CHR(161)||CHR(162) FROM DUAL;
However, you can concatenate whole multibyte code points, as in the following example, which concatenates the multibyte characters whose hexadecimal values are
SELECT CHR(41378)||CHR(41379) FROM DUAL;
The following example uses the UTF8 character set:
SELECT CHR (50052 USING NCHAR_CS) FROM DUAL; CH -- Ä

How Universities can guide Canada's recovery, U of T President
The pandemic has exposed new challenges for pluralism, diversity, and opportunity and universities must play a leadership role in tackling them head-on, University of Toronto President Meric Gertler says.
In an op-ed published this month in University Affairs, President Gertler says universities have three key responsibilities related to Canada's recovery.
"The first is to ensure that our campuses remain places that accommodate, foster and enable important discussions about difficult and contentious issues," he says. The second responsibility is closely related to the first: universities "must foster diverse excellence in all its forms."
"A broad and diverse range of people, experiences, and perspectives must be able to thrive on our campuses," President Gertler says.
Lastly, he says universities must uphold "equality of access to university education for students, and equality of opportunity for diverse faculty and staff."
As we think about the role of universities, "let's focus on breaking down barriers to access, educating citizens, fostering debate, and engaging difference," President Gertler says. "In doing so, we will demonstrate to society how to do these things well, and why it matters."

Tobacco use in China is unequally distributed among urban and rural people. It was found that rural people smoke more than urban. Experts say that the main reason for that is that people from rural areas have a lower socio-economic status (SES), however, they cannot exactly say how social structural factors affect rural smoking.
The objective of the study was to examine the social and personal contributing factors that play a leading role in supporting smoking practices among rural people in China.
An ethnographic study was made in a rural area of Central Jiangsu, China. People who participated in the study were those who lived in families with at least one smoking resident and there were kids. In order to collect all necessary data the participants had to answer on a number of questions. Also unstructured observations were used to collect data. All collected data was analyzed by specialists.
The results of the study showed that though people were poorly informed about negative effects of smoking and had no motivation to give up the habit, social factors were the main barriers to quitting smoking.
In China cigarette gifting and cigarette exchange are considered an absolutely nromal thing. The tradition is especially popular in rural areas where the phenomenon is presented in every aspect of rural life, from daily activities to leisure time, in family and wider social interactions.
Now the question is — how traditional collectivism and familism is interacted with pro-smoking environment. What is the attitude of rural people towards smoke-free environments? Are they ready to implement smoke-free policies? These are just several questions that interest the experts. Living in the rural area was a serious barrier to quitting smoking because people were not informed about smoking cessation.
The main conclusion made after the study is that development of smoking cessation programs in rural areas of China must take into consideration the social determinants influencing smoking practices.
- 350 Million Smokers in China
- Age, gender and social advantage affect success in quitting smoking
- Smoking Rates Reduced in New Zealand

New graphics engine imperils users of Firefox and Chrome
Disable WebGL now, researchers warn
The US Computer Emergency Readiness Team is advising users of the Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers to disable a recently added graphics engine that can be exploited to steal data or crash end user computers.
The web standard known as WebGL opens the browsers to serious attacks, including the theft of images or denial-of-service attacks, independent research consultancy Context Information Security recently warned. The technology made its debut in version 9 of Chrome and was added to the recently released Firefox 4. WebGL is also present in builds of Opera and Apple's Safari.
"Based on this limited research Context does not believe WebGL is really ready for mass usage," Context researcher James Forshaw wrote. "Therefore Context recommends that users and corporate IT managers consider disabling WebGL in their browsers.
The technology is designed to render web-based 3D graphics by allowing the browser to have greater access to a computer's graphics hardware. Until now, the security of graphics gear hasn't been much of a concern, but the wide availability of WebGL should change that. Malicious web masters could exploit inherent weaknesses in the standard to cause computers to display the infamous blue screen of death or steal potentially sensitive data.
A Google spokesman didn't address the claims in the Context report head on, but did offer the following:
Many parts of the WebGL stack, including the GPU process, run in separate processes and are sandboxed in Chrome to help prevent various kinds of attacks. To help ward off lower level attacks, we work with hardware, OS, and driver vendors to proactively disable unsafe system configurations and help them improve the robustness of their stack.
I'd also point out that Chrome doesn't run on some system configurations if lower level stack issues are identified. This is a key intermediate step to help protect Chrome users.
The spokesman didn't say if these measures are enough to prevent the Webgl vulnerabilities described by Context from being exploited in Chrome.
A spokesman for the Khronos Group, which maintains the WebGL standard, similarly didn't address the Context report directly in an email to The Register. Instead, he referred to an official statement that said the graphics engine comes with an extension "specifically designed to prevent denial of service and out-of-range memory access attacks from WebGL content."
The extension, known as GL_ARB_robustness, "has already been deployed by some GPU vendors and Khronos expects it to be deployed rapidly by others," the statement continued. "Browsers can check for the presence of this extension before enabling WebGL content. This is likely to become the deployment mode for WebGL in the near future."
The statement didn't name the GPU manufacturers or say what percentage of shipping GPUs make use of the measure.
On Tuesday, members of the US-CERT echoed the advice that WebGL be disabled. So far, neither Context nor CERT has given instructions for turning off the standard in various browsers.
In Firefox 4, type "about:config" (minus the quotes) into the address bar and set webgl.disabled to true. In Chrome, get to the command line of your operating system and add the --disable-webgl flag to the Chrome command. On a Windows machine, the command line would be "chrome.exe --disable-webgl". ®
This article was updated to include comment from The Khronos Group. It was later updated to correct the types of attacks Context said WebGL is susceptible to. The report doesn't include the possibility of code-execution attacks, as incorrectly reported earlier.

The map I currently am working started off at 5mb, then grew to a staggering 48mb.
I eventually transferred all the data to a new map and started over with a 5 mb file. As I was saving, I watched it grow about 300 kb WITHOUT ADDING ANY NEW DATA!
What gives?

Here is another KB article on why the files sizes grow and how using Save As will help to control the growth:
