Magic resistance (or MR) is a stat that all units have, including minions, monsters, and buildings. Increasing magic resistance reduces the magic damage the unit takes. Each champion begins with some magic resistance which may increase with level. You can gain additional magic resistance from abilities, items, masteries, and runes. Magic resistance stacks additively.
All champions begin with 30 base magic resistance. No ranged champions gain magic resistance per level, but many melee champions do, with 52.5 being the maximum magic resistance possible without items, runes, masteries, or ally buffs.
Incoming magic damage is multiplied by a factor based on the unit's magic resistance:
- Damage multiplier = 100 / (100 + MR) if MR ≥ 0
- Damage multiplier = 2 − 100 / (100 − MR) if MR ≤ 0
- 25 magic resistance → ×0.8 incoming magic damage (20% reduction).
- 100 magic resistance → ×0.5 incoming magic damage (50% reduction).
- −25 magic resistance → ×1.2 incoming magic damage (20% increase).
Stacking magic resistance编辑
Every point of magic resistance requires a unit to take 1% more of its maximum health in magic damage to be killed. This is called "effective health."
- Example: A unit with 60 magic resistance has 60% of its maximum health in its effective health, so if the unit has 1000 maximum health, it will take 1600 magic damage to kill it.
What this means: by definition, magic resistance does not have diminishing returns, because each point increases the unit's effective health against magic damage by 1% of its current actual health value whether the unit has 10 magic resistance or 1000 magic resistance.
- Note: Unlike health, increasing magic resistance also makes healing more effective because it takes more effort to remove the unit's health than it does to restore it.

Young Adults from 14 Caribbean Countries Gather Material for Environmental Book
ROSEAU, Dominica Young adults from 14 Caribbean countries recently finished gathering material for a book on the environment they hope will get more young people involved in protection efforts.
The book will highlight environmental issues facing the region and provide examples of how younger generations can influence government policies, said organizer Frederick Arnett.
"Our purpose is to bring about a change in the mentality and attitude about the environment" among young adults, Arnett said.
The material was gathered from 30 environmental activists, ages 18 to 25, over the past week in Roseau, Arnett said.
Funding to publish the book will come from the Barbados-based Caribbean Youth Environment Network and United National Environmental Program, though no publication date has been set.
The program plans to sell copies across the Caribbean.

The working temperature of optical transceivers affects all the parameters of optical transceivers. If the ambient temperature of the optical transceiver changes, the operating current of the optical transceiver will vary with temperature. At the same time, the parameters of the optical transceivers change, which affects the normal transmission of optical transceivers. Today, we mainly talk about the causes of too high or too low temperature on optical transceivers and its impact.
What Is the Normal Temperature of Optical transceivers?
Because the type and brand of the optical transceiver are complicated, the temperature of modules corresponding to different optical transceiver temperature levels are different and the temperature specifications defined by the supplier are different, whether the temperature of optical transceivers is abnormal or not needs to be considered according to these factors. Before we use the optical transceiver, it is best to check the vendor's definition of the temperature profile of the optical transceiver so as to reduce the number of problems caused by abnormal optical transceiver temperature.
Optical transceiver temperature mainly includes three levels: commercial grade, extended grade, industrial grade. The following is a detailed description of these three temperatures:
|Temperature Grade||Abbreviation||Temperature Range|
|Commercial temperature range||COM||0 ~ + 70 ℃|
|Extended temperature range||EXT||-20 ~ 85 ℃|
|Industrial temperature range||IND||-40 ~ 85 ℃|
Three Reasons That Affect the Temperature of Optical Transceivers
1. The Poor Quality and Workmanship
If you use the optical transceivers with poor quality and workmanship, then the phenomenon of abnormal temperature of the optical transceivers is more common. Because the function of such optical transceivers is instable, heat dissipation is also relatively poor. In order to reduce the temperature anomaly and unnecessary discard, we advise to use the optical transceivers with better function, quality and workmanship.
2. The Harsh Application Environment
Optical transceiver operating environment is in the data center, computer room or interchanger. If the optical transceivers are used in other environments, the change of the ambient temperature will inevitably change the temperature of the optical transceiver, thereby affecting its optical power and optical sensitivity. If the application environment of optical transceivers is harsh, then we advise to select the optical transceivers with industrial temperature or extended temperature.
3. The Use of Second-hand Optical Transceivers
The temperature of new optical transceivers is usually at 0-70 ° C and many second-hand optical transceivers are inaccessible. And the second-hand optical transceivers cannot operate normally in high-temperature or low-temperature conditions. Therefore, we advocate the use of new optical transceivers.
What Are the Impacts of High or Low Temperature on Optical transceivers?
If the optical transceiver temperature is too high or too low, it will affect the function of the optical transceiver and make the communication data appear faulty. The optical transceivers will alarm if its temperature isn't in the normal range. If the optical transceivers are in a bad situation, interchangers will send data continuously. The optical transceivers will not send / receive data from the beginning until it is recovered to normal operation.
1. The Impact of Too High Temperature on Optical Transceivers:
If the operating temperature of optical transceivers is too high, the optical power of optical transceivers will become larger and the receiving signal will be faulty, and even the optical transceiver will be burned. As a result, the optical transceivers cannot work normally. In this case, DDM function should be added. You can select temperature control system for real-time monitoring and compensation to ensure that the optical transceiver extinction ratio and luminous power stable, to ensure the normal operation of the optical communication system.
2. The Impact of Too Low Temperature on Optical Transceivers:
Generally speaking, as long as optical transceivers are not exposed to the harsh environment below 0℃, the temperature will not be too low. It is better not to use the optical transceiver in the condition of too low temperature, as this may cause the function of the optical transceiver to be unstable.
How about the Temperature of Gigalight's Optical Transceivers?
As one of the most top-rated optical transceiver vendors in China, Gigalight complies with the temperature grade standard that the industry requires, and will meet the customer demand for temperature. In addition, all optical transceivers will undergo a high and low temperature burn-in test prior to shipping to test the temperature to ensure the quality of the products.

Will Chickens Die Without a Heat Lamp
Will Chickens Die Without a Heat Lamp? (Ideal Temperatures Explained)
Generally speaking, adult chickens are incredibly hardy and well-prepared to survive in sub-zero temperatures without the need for heat. Baby chicks, on the other hand, are fragile when born and usually require a heat lamp for the first few weeks.
Whether or not you'll need a heat lamp for your chicks depends on how consistently you can keep the temperature within the ideal range for them. It typically makes raising chicks a lot easier for those first few weeks in most cases.
Should You Use a Heat Lamp in a Chicken Coop?
If you browse Amazon you'll see all kinds of heat lamps and heaters designed for chicken coops to help keep your chooks nice and warm.
Personally, I've never known someone to use a heater in their coop. I've known people that have raised chickens in some pretty cold places, too, like Alaska and northern Canada.
Whenever the topic of heating a coop comes up within the backyard chicken community, there are always raised eyebrows due to the potential risks.
Assuming you're going to have the heater on overnight, there is always the risk of an electrical fault or something else causing a fire while you're sleeping.
I'm not suggesting any of these products are anything less than safe! I'm just repeating what I hear when I speak with other chicken owners.
Chickens (most breeds) are well equipped to deal with sub-zero temperatures. Their plumage traps air in between their feathers, and they will cozy up together when roosting to stay warm.
There is rarely the need to insulate a coop at all, let alone heat it.
The key things that you should always keep in mind in regards to keeping your chickens warm enough are moisture and wind chill. Those are the two things that will lower that core temperature to dangerous levels.
Coops need good ventilation to remove the ammonia and keep fresh air flowing through. But your chicken's roosting bar, nesting boxes, and some other areas should be free from wind blowing through.
If your chickens get wet during the day, you shouldn't leave them all soggy in a cold coop. Just think how you'd feel!
RelatedCan chickens really drown in the rain?
Do Chicks Need a Heat Lamp?
Chicks need to be kept warm when they first hatch. They don't have any feathers yet and aren't able to regulate their own temperature at a safe level.
In the wild, this would be mother hen's job. She will have sat on those eggs for around 21 days to hatch them and will continue to allow her baby chicks to bury themselves in her plumage to keep warm.
When hatching chicks at home, however, you'll use an incubator to mimic those 21 days. Incubators keep eggs within the optimal temperature range of 35 to 40.5°C (84.5 – 104.9°F).
When chicks hatch, they can be moved into a brooder. A brooder is essentially a safe place where baby chicks can be kept warm, fed, and looked after.
Most brooders either come with a lamp, or it's recommended you use one. This is because you need to keep the temperature between 35 to 37.8°C (95 – 100°F) for the first couple of weeks of baby chicks' lives.
You can then start to lower the temperature by 5 degrees a week for around 6 weeks until you've lowered the temperature to around 80-75 degrees.
By then, chicks are usually ready to survive the outdoors. It depends on how developed their feathers are and what the weather is like. Different breeds will be fully feathered at different ages, always act on the side of caution.
Here's an overview of the recommended temperature ranges to keep baby chicks at:
Age of Chick (weeks)Temperature (F)
So, the answer as to whether or not you need a heat lamp for chicks is whether or not you can keep them at or around those temperatures.
There are other ways you can provide warmth. I've heard of people using hot water bottles and keeping a brooder in a warm place and their chicks grew up just fine.
However, if you're new to raising chicks, using a heat lamp is by far the easiest way to ensure they're going to be kept nice and warm around the clock.
RelatedWondering if you can hatch supermarket eggs? Read this!
What Temperature Is Too Cold for Chickens?
This is also a tough question to answer with a one-size-fits-all answer, because, again it depends on what breed of chicken we're talking about.
Some chickens are much more equipped to deal with cold temperatures than others. As you can probably guess, generally speaking, bigger hens with a thicker plumage are considered more cold-weather hardy.
This would include breeds like the Brahma, Wyandotte, Sussex, and Cochin. All large, well-feathered birds with plenty of insulation.
You do have to be mindful of frostbite though. Chicken's combs, in particular, are prone to frostbite in extreme conditions. The first sign of frostbite is usually blackening at the tips of the comb.
On the other hand, small chickens like bantams, and some breeds like the Polish, Old Game Fowl, and Fayoumi are not cold weather chickens.
They are lacking the body mass and thick coats to deal with sub-zero temperatures!
RelatedRead more about chicks and what temperatures they need here.
In Summary
If you've been worried about your chickens freezing out there in the cold while you're tucked up all nice and warm in your bed, hopefully, I've reassured you that they'll be just fine.
Using heat lamps for baby chicks to ensure they're warm during their first few weeks it's important. After that, most chickens are fine to be outside in all temperatures and weather conditions and will do just fine.
As long as you're keeping all their basic needs met; adequate housing, plenty of food, and fresh drinking water, you'll be pleasantly surprised how hardy chickens are.

How to make Roman coins
Ebi-kun has had an interest in ancient Rome and gladiators recently so we decided to make some Roman coins.
We used a basic salt dough and added brown food colour.
Salt dough recipe
2 cups of plain flour
1/2 cup salt
1/2 - 3/4 cup hot water
+ brown food colour
Just throw everything into a bowl and mix until you get a dough. Then take a small lump of dough, roll it into a ball the squash it flat. We experimented with different tools but found the end of a paintbrush worked best for engraving the numbers.
We baked them at 180c for 10 minutes then turned them over and gave them another 5 minutes.
Once they had cooled we painted them with varnish, Ebi-kun is a bit heavy handed with the varnish so some came out a bit splogy.

Drivers of red cars are more likely to find themselves cleaning off bird poop than those who drive a different color car, according to research reported in the Daily Mail.
Commissioned by the car accessory company Halfords, scientists looked at 1,140 vehicles in British cities like Brighton, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester and Bristol.
They found that red cars were most often found covered in bird droppings - 18 percent - while green cars were the least likely – 1 percent.
The scientists say there isn't a concrete reason why red cars are the most-dropped on, but it might be because birds see the red as something representing danger.
· Red - 18 %
· Blue - 14 %
· Black - 11 %
· White - 7 %
· Grey/Silver - %
· Green - 1 %
The study also looked at how quick drivers were to clean the droppings off.
Only 17 percent said they wiped the poo off as soon as they saw it. Twenty percent said they cleaned it within a couple of days, while 55 percent said they waited until it was time for their next regular car wash.
Eight percent said they never wash their cars.

The bridge connecting the Monumenti peninsula and the island of Sv. Katarina (St. Catherine's island) is 233.95 m long. It consists of 21 spans, ranging from 6.95 m to 8.10 in length; total width of 4.50 m. The bridge reconstruction consisted of the construction of new piles, 50 cm in diameter, and a new hidden horizontal reinforced concrete structure within the dimensions of the existing bridge, including the complete fixing of the original reinforced concrete structure. New bridge deck has been made, 6.0 m wide, formed of a 5-m wide carriageway and the protective kerbstones from both sides of the bridge. During the performance of works, the access to the structure was difficult for the simple reason the structure was directly above the sea level and most reconstruction works had to be performed from pontoons.

Pulmonary Thromboembolism, Meteorological Parameters
Objective: The objective of this study is to find the relationship between incidence rate and mortality of acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), and seasonal and meteorological factors. Materials and methods: The data from 234 patients who were hospitalized due to acute PTE in the emergency service or policlinics between 2001 and 2008 were investigated retrospectively. Cases that developed APE (acute pulmonary embolism) in the hospital were excluded. Seasons and months in which acute PTE was diagnosed were recorded. Mortality rates by months and seasons were evaluated. The mean pressure, temperature and humidity values were evaluated for periods of three days, seven days and one month before the day of presentation. The effects of meteorological factors on the severity (massive or non-massive) and mortality of APE were investigated. Results: The incidence rate of acute APE showed a significant difference according to seasons (p=0.000). APE was diagnosed most commonly in spring and winter. The mean pressure values for three days, seven days and one month and the mean humidity values for three days for the dead patients were found to be significantly lower than those of the survived ones (p<0.05). The mortality rate for patients admitted in summer was significantly higher than the rates for other seasons (p=0.02). There were no seasonal differences among the massive APE incidences. Mortality rates were higher in summer because of the nonmassive APE patients rather than the massive patients. Conclusion: Acute PE is a disease whose incidence and mortality rates are affected by meteorological factors.

Prophecy in Practice: The Everyday Life of Divine Knowledge in the Twelfth Century
"Prophecy in Practice" sits at the disciplinary intersection of anthropology and history, and takes as its focus the personal everyday aspects of prophetic cognition in the lives of late medieval monks and nuns. By investigating links between large scale—biblical and exegetical—concepts of prophecy and smaller scale daily practices, such as prayer, reading, and the interpretation and sharing of dreams, as they facilitate or engender individual experiences of prophecy, this project explores the conjunction of institutional and personal knowledge embodied in medieval religious persons. This study breaks new ground in showing how common practices and concepts shared among members of twelfth-century religious communities facilitated individual experience and the expression of prophetic gifts.

Traits of Balamadi with Lucky Number 7
People with lucky Number 7 person is peaceful and affectionate soul, and by nature rather reserved and analytical. The overwhelming strength of the number 7 is reflected in the depth of thinking that is shown; they will garner knowledge from practically every source that they find. Intellectual, scientific and studious, they don't exit a premise until they have dissected the subject and arrived at they own independent conclusion. This is a very spiritual number and it often denotes a sort of spiritual wisdom that becomes apparent at a fairly early age. They need a good deal of quiet time to be with their own inner thoughts and dreams.
They dislike crowds, noise and confusion. They are very thorough and complete in their work, the perfectionist who expects everyone else to be a meet a high standard of performance, too. They evaluate situations very quickly and with amazing accuracy.
They rely heavily on their experiences and their intuition, rather than accepting advice from someone; their hunches usually prove to be very accurate, and knowing this, they are one who tends to follow the directions they seem to guide. It is easy for them to detect deception and recognize insincere people.
They aren't the one to have a wide circle of friends, but once they accept someone as a friend, it is for life. they really aren't a very social person, and their reserve is often taken to be aloofness. Actually, it's not that at all, but merely a cover up for their basic feeling of insecurity. They actually like being alone, away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. In many ways, they would have fit in better in much earlier times when the pace of life was less hectic.
In the most negative use of the 7 energies, they can become very pessimistic, quarrelsome, and secretive. A lucky Number 7 individual who is not living life fully and gaining through experiences, is a hard person to live with because of a serious lack of consideration and because there is such a negative attitude. The negative 7 is very selfish and spoiled. If they have any of the negative traits they are very difficult to get rid of because they tend to feel that the world really does owe them a living or in some way is not being fairly treated. Fortunately, the negative 7 is not the typical 7, at least not without some mitigating positive traits. This number is one that seems to have some major shifts from highs to lows. Stability in feelings may be elusive for them.

What is the origin of scut in scut work?
According to Merriam-Webster,
scut work: routine and often menial labor
Probably from medical argot, scut meaning 'junior intern'
First known use: circa 1962
Usage example:
... women who generally feel that they are second-class citizens in the medical profession -- unappreciated and directed by (mostly male) doctors to perform largely scut work.
This ngram shows that scut work was not used before 1960 when it took hold as medical jargon. It supports the idea that the term was not already in general use and subsequently popularized in hospitals, rather that it originated there.
Scut work
This returns us to the medical coinage. Could it be related to meaning (2) in the OED?
1. the short tail of a hare, rabbit, or deer.
2. (inf. chiefly Irish) a person perceived as foolish, contemptible, or objectionable.
There is another theory that it is derived from Oxford University servants called scouts, but I consider this unlikely given the US origin of scut work.
share|improve this question
Der... I don't think it's likely to derive from anything other than OED:2, which seems about as transparent as any word usage can be. Possibly that definition itself came from association of rabbits with simpletons (rabbits are dumb), or with lowly peasants (who would eat more rabbit than other meat). – FumbleFingers Jul 28 '11 at 14:23

In the Wiktionary scutwork entry, one of the references, Medical meanings: a glossary of word origins, suggests either scuttle, or OE scitan (excrement) as possible origins of the scut in scutwork. I think scitan is plausible; note from the etymology of shit:
Noun use for "obnoxious person" is since at least 1508
Wiktionary also suggests for scut as "contemptible person" that the etymology may be from the obsolete sense of scout, which Etymonline explains:
"to reject with scorn," c.1600, of Scandinavian origin (cf. O.N. skuta, skute "taunt"), probably from a source related to shout.
I think you're probably right that meaning (2) of scut is more closely related to scutwork, but note that calling someone contemptible doesn't have to be unrelated to meaning (1) as in the quotations in Wiktionary, or, for example, this 1907 story:
"Don't understand me?" roared the farmer. "What have you done to my darter, you scut, sitting there preening of yersel, like a silly peacock in the sun?"
The angry man approached the bed swiftly, and, seizing Aubrey's pyjama-clad shoulder in a massive fist, thrust his hairy face within an inch of his victim's nose.
"What have you been doin' to my lass?" he roared again. "Now d'yew onderstand me?"
"W-what has she been telling you?" Aubrey was horribly frightened.
"Summat that made me sware you shouldn't leave this house till you'm man and wife all raight and praper accordin' to law."
share|improve this answer
I'm quite impressed with wiktionary's entry actually. I like the quotations. Here are two more, from Ulysses: "God speed you, scut!" and "Mean bloody scut." – z7sg Ѫ Jul 28 '11 at 21:15
This is not a definitive answer, because all the sources I checked say the origin is not known. But I suspect it probably comes from scuttle, because doing the dishes is the archetypal form of "scut" work, and as Etymonline shows us:
scuttle (n.) "bucket," O.E. scutel "dish, platter," from L. scutella "serving platter," dim. of scutra "flat tray, dish," perhaps related to scutum "shield" (see hide (n.1)). A common Gmc. borrowing from Latin (cf. O.N. skutill, M.Du. schotel, O.H.G. scuzzila, Ger. Schüssel). Meaning "basket for sifting grain" is attested from mid-14c.; sense of "bucket for holding coal" first recorded 1849.
share|improve this answer
I think the ngram I've posted in the question goes against this theory because scut work only really exists from 1960 onwards. – z7sg Ѫ Jul 28 '11 at 20:32
+1 I strongly suspect it came from coal scuttle. – Brock Adams Mar 17 '13 at 10:07
"Scut work" was in use at least as early as 1950. From The Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine, Volume 22:
... menial tasks commonly known as the "scut work."
Given the general manners of the time, it seems unlikely that this would be used too pejoratively.
James Joyce's, Finnegans Wake (1939) also refers to a character as a "scutfrank" -- which has been interpreted to mean someone who does menial tasks.

Humanistic Spirit and Scholarship Value of Ancient Chinese Scholars
Download as PDF
The humanistic spirit of ancient Chinese scholars can also be understood as the spirit of learning. It is said in "The Note of Learning" that " If jade is not polished, it cannot become a thing of use. If a man does not learn, he cannot know his duty." It shows that what ancient people advocated in the underdeveloped natural science and social science was still a learning spirit of reading changes life. There are very few serious scholars. Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism and Mohism all embodied the idea of "people-centered", they think of man as the center of the universe or take man as a small universe. To a certain extent, this kind of philosophy has influenced ancient Chinese scholars to pursue the maximization of human value, and has also beautified the energy of human being as the center of the universe. It has also played an important role in the formation of humanistic spirit, such as "The Theory of Zhouyi", "Analects of Confucius", "The Book of History" and "Filial Piety", thereby embodying this humanistic spirit into scholarship value. This paper discusses the origin of humanities, the formation of humanistic spirit and the embodiment of the value of ancient scholarship.

An old theorem of A. J. Wilkie (Some results and problems on weak systems of arithmetic, Logic Colloquium '77) asserts that a discretely ordered ring $R$ can be extended to a model of open induction if and only if for all $n>1$, there is a homomorphism from $R$ onto $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$.
Wilkie's proof proceeds by adjoining transcendental elements to $R$, but it is not clear that this is ever necessary:
Does every ring that extends to a model of open induction have an algebraic extension to a model of open induction?
Does anyone know anything about this? I know of no place in the literature where the question is even mentioned, although it has come up more than once in conversation.
Here is simple test-case: Let $R$ be the ring $\mathbb{Z}[t,\sqrt{2}t-r]$, where $r$ is a real transcendental and $t$ is an indeterminate. Order $R$ by declaring $t$ positive infinite. It is not hard to show that $R$ extends to a model of true arithmetic. I don't know if $R$ has an algebraic extension to a model of open induction.
share|improve this question
Can you please explain what it means for a ring to "model open induction"? – Andrej Bauer May 7 '10 at 13:31
2 Answers 2
Andrej Bauer asked in a comment, "What is a model of open induction?" Let me give the most modern and relevant answer and then explain the term "open induction", which is somewhat archaic.
Let $F$ be an ordered field. An (ordered) subring $R$ of $F$ is called an "integer part" of $F$ if
 1. $R$ is discretely ordered: This means the inequality $x < y < x+1$ has no solution in $R$. Equivalently, nothing in $R$ lies between 0 and 1.
 2. For all $x\in F$ there is some $r\in R$ such that $r\le x < r+1$.
Item 2 is equivalent to saying that every element of $F$ is a finite distance from some element of $R$, where "finite" means bounded by an element of $\mathbb{Z}$. Remember that $F$ can and usually will be nonarchimedian.
Items 1 and 2 together imply that there is a unique function $\lfloor\cdot\rfloor$ from $F$ to $R$ given by the inequality $\lfloor x \rfloor \le x < 1+\lfloor x \rfloor$. Think of this as an abstract analog of the integer part operator.
A "model of open induction" is an integer part of a real closed field. Mourges and Ressayre proved that every real closed field has an integer part. The term "open induction" comes from a paper of Shepherdson, who started this whole topic by proving that an ordered ring $R$ is an integer part of its real closure if and only if the positive semiring of $R$ satisfies the axioms of Peano Arithmetic, with the induction axioms restricted to quantifier-free (i.e. open) formulas. Shepherdson also gave recursively presentable nonstandard models of open induction, which is interesting because according to Tennenbaum's Theorem there are no such models of Peano Arithmetic.
Since then there have been many successful attempts to build recursive nonstandard models of theories a little stronger than open induction. The champ, to-date, is a recursive nonstandard normal model of open induction, given in a paper by Otero and Berarducci. Here "normal" means integrally closed in its quotient field.
The main unsolved problems concerning open induction, in my opinion, are (1) Is the universal theory of open induction decidable (i.e. is it decidable whether a diophantine equation has a solution in some model of open induction) and (2) Is there a recursive non-standard diophantine correct model of open induction, where "diophantine correct" means "extends to a model of true arithmetic".
share|improve this answer
Interesting. In Brouwerian intuitionism the following is called "open induction", where $A \subseteq [0,1]$ is an open subset of the unit interval: $(\forall x \in [0,1]. (\forall y < x. y \in A) \implies x \in A) \implies [0,1] = A$. This seems unrelated to what you are talking about. – Andrej Bauer May 7 '10 at 15:27
I think this should have been edited into the question instead of posted as an answer. In any case, this should be community wiki. – François G. Dorais May 7 '10 at 22:42
I think that the answer in general is "no", and that this follows from results in a paper "Limit computable integer parts" by D'Aquino, Knight, and Lange (_URL_ Namely, by Theorem 3.5 and Remark 3, there exists a real-closed field $R$ with an element $r\in R$ and a $\mathbb Z$-ring $I\subseteq R$ such that no discretely ordered subring $I\subseteq J\subseteq R$ intersects $[r,r+1)$, but $b/i\in[r,r+1)$ for some $b,i\in I$. Then $I$ (being a $\mathbb Z$-ring) can be extended to a model of $\mathit{IOpen}$, but no such extension can be found in its real closure $\operatorname{rcl}(I)\subseteq R$ (since no discretely ordered $I\subseteq J\subseteq \operatorname{rcl}(I)$ can contain an integer part of $b/i$).
Caveat: the paper is so far an unpublished preprint, and I have actually serious doubts about its correctness. Namely, the claim "$\frac{p(a)}n+z$ cannot be in $(0,1)$" in the proof of the widely used Proposition 3.1 is unjustified, and in fact, I think that this proposition directly contradicts Example 2 (take $I=(x^2+1)\mathbb Q[x^2]+\mathbb Z$, $R=\operatorname{rcl}(\mathbb Q(x))$, and $a=x$; then conditions 2 and 3 hold as $I[x]=I+xI$ is easily seen to be discretely ordered, but condition 1 does not). However, I think that this does not affect the proof of Theorem 3.5, since all the elements which 3.1 is applied on there are (or can be taken to be) transcendental.
share|improve this answer
Emil, Thanks very much for the reference. I'm not sure that Example 2 DIRECTLY contradicts Proposition 3.1, because (in the example you gave) $\mathbb{Z}[(x^2+1)/4]$ is not a Z-ring, as Prop. 3.1 requires it to be. But I'll have to think about this. – SJR Feb 3 '11 at 17:12
Fair enough, thanks for pointing it out. Hopefully it's correct now. – Emil Jeřábek Feb 3 '11 at 18:25

Difference between revisions of "Referencing AVI Files in MIRCdocuments"
|Line 37:||Line 37:|
Revision as of 16:28, 26 January 2011
This article describes how to insert AVI, MPEG, or other video files into MIRCdocuments using the File Service and Author Service of the RSNA MIRC implementation. This article applies only to MIRC T36b or later. It has only been tested with Internet Explorer.
There are two steps in referencing an AVI file in a MIRCdocument:
- Store the file in your file cabinet.
- Reference the file in a paragraph.
To store the AVI file in your file cabinet:
- Log in on the query page.
- Select My Files in the My Stuff menu.
- In the left pane of the File Cabinet page, select a file folder in which to store the AVI file.
- In the File menu, select Upload file.
- The Add File window will then appear. Click the Browse button.
- A file chooser will then appear. Navigate to the video file, and click Open.
- The file chooser will disappear. Click Submit File on the Add File window.
- Note the full path to the file folder in which the video file is stored. This is shown at the right end of the menu bar.
To reference the AVI file in a MIRCdocument:
- Create a new MIRCdocument or edit an existing one in the Author Service.
- Select a section in which to insert the reference to the AVI file and click its tab.
- Insert a paragraph or click on the text box of an existing one.
- Enter text as shown in the box below, replacing path with the path to the folder, and movie.avi with the name of the video file in that folder.
- Click the Save button in the toolbar to save the document.
Here is a movie.
This will present a link to the AVI within the paragraph. When clicked, the user's AVI viewer will launch and display the AVI in a separate window.
For example, if the path to the folder is Personal/Files/Misc_Files and the video filename is video.mpeg, the text would be:
Here is a movie.
It is also possible to make the video play within the paragraph itself. To do so, use the following paragraph contents:
- Video files are supported only in paragraphs in normal section elements, not in image-section elements.
- In the example above, the AVI file is called movie.avi.
- You can also insert WMV files in the same way.
- The square brackets in the reference to the video file are required.
- After copying the file into the file cabinet when the document is saved, the Author Service removes the bracketed reference from the source and replaces it with the filename of the video file, possibly modified to replace spaces in the name with underscores.

Lane Targeting Light
The Torch is a simple light targeting tool used to help with accuracy and alignment. Using LED lights, it reflects a path of light on the lane to help you select the correct launch angle and hit your target time after time. As the player moves left and right, the light will change its position showing you exactly where you should throw the ball.
The Torch was designed to explain the aiming process in a way that can be easily understood by everyone. From children, to beginning bowlers, to special needs bowlers, the Torch is an easy and fun way to quickly improve this important fundamental skill.
- Helps define a bowlers starting point
- Helps bowlers to see the laydown point
- Helps keep the swing path in-line with the target path
- Helps keep the head stable throughout the approach
- Shows how the target changes if a bowler drifts left or right

From Ohio History Central
Marietta from Harmar Hill, by Charles Sullivan
Charles Sullivan was an important Ohio artist during the nineteenth century.
Born in Frankfort, Pennsylvania in 1794, Sullivan spent his youth in Pennsylvania. He began to study art in the 1810s. His most important teacher was Thomas Sully, an artist based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Sullivan later opened his own studio in Philadelphia. In 1827, he moved to what is now Wheeling, West Virginia and in 1833, to Marietta, Ohio.
In Wheeling and Marietta, Sullivan became especially well known for his landscapes. His river scenes focused mainly on the Ohio River. He also made a number of paintings of Indian earthworks, especially in the vicinity of Marietta. Sullivan's paintings of the Marietta Earthworks provide valuable information since many of the earthworks are no longer in existence.
Sullivan resided in Marietta for the remainder of his life. He died in 1867.
The Ohio Historical Society's Campus Martius Museum in Marietta, Ohio contains examples of Charles Sullivan's work.

Cultural Landscape Report
Garfield Park is a valued, irreplaceable historic public park serving the Indianapolis community as both a city and neighborhood park. The park is a significant cultural landscape recognized for its history, its design influence, and its place in the Indianapolis parks and boulevards system. Heritage Landscapes was commissioned by the Friends of Garfield Park (FOGP) to develop a cultural landscape report investigating the history, chronology, existing conditions and use of the Garfield Park landscape and to recommend a preservation approach that respects its heritage while accommodating current and future directions. Garfield Park stands as a testimony of over a century of use, support and patronage by the neighborhood and the Indianapolis community. This Garfield Park Cultural Landscape Report honors that legacy while it seeks to insure the vibrancy and value of this important park into the future.
To preserve the future of the park FOGP championed the creation of the Garfield Park Cultural Landscape Preservation and Renewal Plan. Created in 2004 and 2005, The Cultural Landscape Plan was funded through grants of $25,000 from the Efroymson Fund of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, $5,000 from Marion County Historic Preservation Fund and $22,500 each from Friends of Garfield Park and Indy Parks.
This project, which celebrates the concepts and designs of George Kessler, was guided to completion by Patricia O'Donnell, ASLA, of Heritage Landscapes, which specializes in preservation planning and implementation for cultural landscapes. The plan will serve as a guide to future development and programs at the park such as:
- Educational materials, such as those included in the Historic Garfield Park Tour
- Fundraising campaigns to preserve and maintain the Bean Creek Bridge and the 100 year old Fountains
- Efforts leading to the designation on the National Registry of Historic Places
- Landscape renovations and restoration, including tree plantings, streets, pathways and other elements


Ceiling Cables
Here's How You Can Hide Wires in an Exposed Ceiling
You're thinking of building a house with an exposed ceiling or maybe you already live in one. Either way, you realized the wires on the ceiling aren't exactly pretty or safe to look at. So, you're trying to learn how to hide the wires in your exposed ceiling.
To hide wires in an exposed ceiling, you'll need creativity. You'll also need some knowledge of safety concealing the wires to ensure it won't eventually cause any accidents. One way to hide wires in an exposed ceiling is by pinning them in place and painting them the same color as your ceiling.
This article will talk about how you can hide wires in an exposed ceiling. It will also discuss the trend of exposed ceilings and the types of exposed ceilings.
Hiding Wires in an Exposed Ceiling
Exposed ceilings give your house a rustic look when done right, and it also saves you some money. Without needing to spend on materials and labor to cover your ceiling, you can use that money to hide the wires instead and buy other things to enhance your house.
However, you need to keep in mind that your wires need to follow safety precautions to ensure they won't cause any accidents even when hidden. This means your wires should not be bare or open. They also need to rest in places that won't get wet or constant exposure to the elements. If they receive constant elemental exposure, they will easily wear out, and you will need to replace them.
To hide wires in an exposed ceiling, the first thing you need to do is ensure that they are attached to the beams. You can do this by using electrical staples like Gardner Bender metal staples on Amazon. Once all the wires are secured, you can start to creatively hide them by painting them or using cord covers, wooden mounds, or decorative boxes.
You Can Paint the Wires on the Ceiling
If you're bothered by your ceiling wires poking out in an exposed ceiling, one option is to paint the wires. This boosts your house's aesthetics without consuming too much money or time. To do this, all you need to do is buy paint that matches your ceiling beam's color. This camouflages your wires and keeps a simple ceiling.
You may also paint the ceiling beams themselves if you can't find the shade that matches the beams. You can find paint in your local hardware store or on Amazon. An excellent paint find is Majic Paints, which can coat many surfaces. You'll notice that most people opt for a white painted ceiling or wooden-colored wires, but you may pick other colors from Majic Paints.
The advantage of painting your ceiling wires or even ceiling beams is that you can choose a uniform color for your ceiling or design it. However, some disadvantages include paint expense and labor fees if you hire someone to do it. There's also a chance that you won't like the outcome.
You Can Use Cord Covers for the Ceiling Wires
If you don't want to paint but still want an easy fix for your exposed ceiling wires, check out some cord covers. You can easily find them on Amazon, and among the general public's favorites are Cord Cover Raceway Kit, Paintable Cord Concealer, and Cordinate Fabric Cord Cover.
Cord Cover Raceway and Paintable Cord Concealer both come as white sets of cord covers. You can paint them however you want to match your decor, or you can keep them that way for an accented look on your ceiling beams if the beams aren't white. Meanwhile, Coordinate Fabric Cord Cover adds an aesthetic look to your house. You can choose to either make them camouflage themselves or have them stand out on their own.
If you choose the hard covers, you can place your wires within them by measuring the length you need and cutting the covers accordingly. Then, slide the cover open and simply place the wires inside the covers before sliding them closed again.
If you use the fabric cover, you'll have better flexibility, which may or may not benefit you, depending on your design idea. You can simply allow the fabric wire covers to hang on the ceiling beams, or you can pin them in place for better security and more organization.
Using cord covers can efficiently and cheaply cover up those exposed ceiling wires. You can easily replace the covers, too, when you get tired of their color or design and pick new ones. Best of all, you can customize the covers themselves to however you want them.
You Can Opt For Wooden Moldings to Hide the Wires
For a more classic look and better camouflaging, you can opt for wooden moldings to hide ceiling wires. You can find wooden moldings in hardware stores, or you can make them yourself. These moldings can act as ceiling beam borders, and no one would know they hide wires.
They're great alternatives if you don't want to use plastic or fabric covers. However, they can cost more than buying covers and require more work. You'll need to attach the wooden moldings to the ceiling beams, and that would take time and some hard work. You can't easily change the moldings, too, if you come across a point where you want to.
You Can Use Decorative Boxes for Grouped Wires
Decorative boxes work great in covering exposed ceiling wires in groups. You can create a standard square box that will match your ceiling beams, or you can purchase cover plates like Arlington Boxes or Garvin Hole Cover on Amazon. Grouped wires are perfect for ceiling fans and light wires, but you may find that they look good even in places without grouped wires.
When Did the Trend of Exposed Ceilings Start?
Houses with exposed ceilings existed and had been the trend until the 1800s when lumber mills started producing wooden structures by the bulk. By the 1950s, people covered ceilings. By this time, the trend of the exposed ceilings faded, and clean, hidden ceilings were the new ideal.
However, with plenty of options now, such as faux exposed ceilings or even exposing previously hidden ceilings, the trend of exposed ceilings restarted once more by the early 2000s. Two types of exposed ceilings exist: decorative exposed ceilings and actual exposed ceilings.
Actual exposed ceilings rely on the beams to support the house, and no other material covers the ceilings. Meanwhile, decorative ceilings are just as they're called: decorative. You'll find that these houses already possess a covered ceiling and simply have additional beams to make it look like an exposed ceiling.
Some people create the exposed ceiling look themselves, but it's not quite recommended since most people use heavy beams that may cause strain on their ceiling. Meanwhile, others use lighter materials like fiberglass or plastic, and some people contact engineers or architects for advice.
Final Thoughts
You can hide wires in an exposed ceiling by painting the wires or your ceiling beams or using plastic or fabric cord covers, wooden molds, or decorative boxes. However, make sure your wires are safely in place to avoid any accidents.
You can do this by pinning them in place, except when you're using fabric covers. You can get away with not pinning your wires in that case. Also, remember not to hesitate if you think you need help. Commencing on a do-it-yourself project is great, but ensuring your safety should remain your priority.

National Daughter's Day is a special observance that focuses on celebrating the bond between daughters and their families, as well as highlighting the unique relationship between a daughter and her parents. This day encourages families to acknowledge the importance of their daughters and empowers them to strive for success, happiness, and fulfillment in their lives. The observance also promotes the equal treatment of daughters and sons, seeking to break down traditional gender roles and restrictions that may hinder the aspirations of young girls.
Though the origin of National Daughter's Day is not well-documented, it is believed to have emerged as a response to traditional celebrations that often only recognized sons, such as Father's Day and Mother's Day. Canada, being a country with a culture that supports gender equality and diversity, embraces this day as an opportunity to celebrate the achievements and contributions of daughters across the nation. The inclusion of National Daughter's Day in Canadian society not only strengthens family ties but also reiterates the importance of empowering and encouraging young women to reach their fullest potential.
National Daughter's Day is observed in Canada by families dedicating time to their daughters, engaging in meaningful activities, and appreciating the unique qualities they bring to the family dynamic. It offers an opportunity for parents to express their love and support for their daughters, as well as fostering a strong foundation for a healthy and loving relationship as they grow. Although there is no specific date assigned to National Daughter's Day in Canada, it is typically celebrated during the month of September, aligning with observances in other countries.

[Powershell Script - Convert IIS logs to CSV]parsing IIS logs using PowerShell
There are multiple ways to do reporting on the IIS logs, there are various tools available for the same as well, but I thought to play around with string manipulation in PowerShell so got an idea to do a script on parsing and Converting IIS logs to Table format in PowerShell sessions or export to CSV.
The main motive of this post is to give an idea on how can we filter specific logs easily and generate a report out of IIS Logs in CSV format.
So let's start
Let's first get the content of the logs file in a Powershell array, which we want to search through to generate the report, we can loop through each log file if there are more than one log file.
Single File Example:
$logFilepath="D:\Logs\IISLogs.txt" $logdata=(gc $logfilepath)
To search through the multiple files.
foreach ($file in (Get-ChildItem $logFilePath))
Now Once we have the Logs consolidated, we can further search through $logdata for logs we are interested in.
Let's say I want to find out how many connection requests has been made by the user "Labadmin" for EWS service?
So to prepare the data into the tabular format, lets first get the table header.
As the 4th line of the logs has all the details, we are going to select that line only using the index no [3], for those who wondering why [3], the index in PowerShell start from [0,1,2,3] etc.
$CsvHeader=$logdata[3]."_TAG_: ","")
Now we can do a search through the logs.
$EWSLogs=$logdata |? {$_ -match "Labadmin" -and $_ -match "EWS"}
This will get us the log entries, where both strings match "Labdmin" and "EWS", we can add more -match to shorten the results,
Now we have the logs we wanted, as the logs file is delimited with space in between what we just need to do is to replace the space with the comma ",".
So let's see how we can do it.
lets first combined our header and EWS logs data to one array.
$FinalData=@() $FinalData+=$CsvHeader $FinalData+=$EWSLogs
Now we will use replace method to replace space with ",".
foreach ($line in $FinalData)
$newline=$line.replace(" ",",")
Now Let's convert it to a table form, once we have data in the table form we can work at the object level, or you can just export to CSV.
$Table = Convertfrom-Csv $Report -UseCulture
Now you will have data in Table and can do further analyses if you wish.
Let's further find out how many times this user made EWS connection successfully.
$table | Group-Object -Property sc-status
So this is how we can use PowerShell to do reporting on IIS logs, Please feel free to leave your comments, feedback, and suggestions.
Below is full consolidated script Code used in this post.
$logFilepath = "C:\Users\sunil\Desktop\caslogs.txt"
$logdata = Get-Content $logfilepath
$CsvHeader=$logdata[3].Replace("_TAG_: ","")
foreach ($line in $FinalData){
$Report+=$newline }
$table = Convertfrom-Csv $Report -UseCulture
$table | Group-Object -Property sc-status


University of Cambridge > Talks.cam > Biological Anthropology Seminar Series > Anthropology, mass graves and the politics of the dead
Anthropology, mass graves and the politics of the dead
If you have a question about this talk, please contact Michael Rivera.
In the past few decades, anthropologists, among other experts, have been called to assist in the investigation of mass graves by conducting exhumations, anthropological examinations and identifications of human skeletal remains. The reasons for this choice of specialists are several: anthropologists are trained in methods of grave location, archaeological excavation and identification by constructing the biological profile of the exhumed remains. In recent years, DNA analyses have been employed to verify the anthropological findings, bringing into the picture yet another scientific specialisation. The use of anthropologists in the investigation of mass graves started in Argentina in the mid-1980s and it has since become common in similar situations. When an international organisation such as the United Nations or even a government decide to investigate a mass grave, this can be for either legal or humanitarian purposes. In the legal context, the focus is to bring those responsible to justice, while in the humanitarian the main goal is to identify the remains and return them to their families for a proper burial according to local customs. The involvement of experts who employ scientific techniques in these investigations, is aimed at providing the objectivity and impartiality required in this context. But are the investigations always objective?

ALTER GROUP groupname ADD USER username [,... ] ALTER GROUP groupname DROP USER username [,... ] ALTER GROUP groupname RENAME TO newname
ALTER GROUP changes the attributes of a user group. This is an obsolete command, though still accepted for backwards compatibility, because groups (and users too) have been superseded by the more general concept of roles.
The first two variants add users to a group or remove them from a group. (Any role can play the part of either a "user" or a "group" for this purpose.) These variants are effectively equivalent to granting or revoking membership in the role named as the "group"; so the preferred way to do this is to use GRANT or REVOKE.
The third variant changes the name of the group. This is exactly equivalent to renaming the role with ALTER ROLE.
The name of the group (role) to modify.
Users (roles) that are to be added to or removed from the group. The users must already exist; ALTER GROUP does not create or drop users.
The new name of the group.
Add users to a group:
ALTER GROUP staff ADD USER karl, john;
Remove a user from a group:
ALTER GROUP workers DROP USER beth;

But they are so much more than just that. We set our expectations high for our Student Career Advocates... and they exceed them every day.
So, what do SCAs do?
Why should I apply to be a SCA?
There are many reasons to be a Student Career Advocate; these are just a few:
What does Career Services look for in a potential SCA?
Career Services seeks out the highest of qualities when considering an applicant as a potential Student Career Advocate:
Are there any requirements to become an SCA?


I didn't use Blender before, but from what I saw (e.g. on YouTube) I think I could use it for creating dynamic flow chart animations (that actually look good :-). Since I do not know how to start with this, I hope you could give me a hint and/or guide me the right direction. This is a schematic example on what I want to do:
enter image description here
For a series of time points, I get data for the temperatures inside a set of water tanks and the amount of water flowing between them from some computations that are done in Python. I would like to visualize the temperature within the tanks by color, and the mass flowing between them by thickness of the arrows, in both cases also stating the current values, and show their development over time with an animation (while the changes between time points do not necessarily have to be animated, a series of pictures showing the states at the time points would already be great).
Everything should be designed in a way that the animation can be automatically generated also for other data sets. Also in future, this animation will probably be extended. As I stated, I'm completely new to Blender, but advanced in Python.
All hints and advises are highly appreciated! Thank you very much for your help!
Edit: as suggested, I split up the question in several smaller ones step by step.
 1. Link to first question on how to create the curved arrows (solved)
 2. Link to second question on how to calculate object colors from external temperature data using a color map
 - 2
 $\begingroup$ yes, this is very possible - but as it stands you are asking a question which is multi faceted - or rather 4 or 5 considerably elaborate questions disguised as a concept. Someone could answer, but it would take a long time and only be applicable to a narrow audience. Let me suggest that you break it down. 1. How to make boxes at positions 2. How to script the splines to join them 3. How to make the arrows 4. How to animate Colour changes 4. How to animate spline Width changes. -- Also the design of how to spread these boxes and decide where the spline goes and what the arrow looks like. $\endgroup$ – zeffii Aug 9 '15 at 11:58

 $\begingroup$ You are allowed to ask as many separate questions as you want in new Questions. The better you become at making your question modular, the better we can answer short and direct. $\endgroup$ – zeffii Aug 9 '15 at 12:01
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ Thank you for your suggestions! In the meantime I found some hints on animation, and I managed to create the boxes (which are cylinders in 3D). So I will now first of all ask a question on how to make these curved arrows (which I think would be Question 2 and 3, but make sense to be asked together, right?), and link it to this question as well. $\endgroup$ – mindm49907 Aug 9 '15 at 13:06
 - 1
 $\begingroup$ yes! my response was definitely not intended to be discouraging, I love these kinds of questions..but splitting it up gives more people a chance to answer the individual elements. $\endgroup$ – zeffii Aug 9 '15 at 15:04
 - $\begingroup$ As zeffii explained, SE does better with shorter questions about specific operations; these are more likely to be applicable to other projects and thus more helpful for people looking for solutions in search engines. As it is now, this question is still too broad (your other question is great though :). Feel free to edit this question at any time, and we can re-open it accordingly. $\endgroup$ – gandalf3 Aug 9 '15 at 19:13


Calculating polygon areas in QGIS?
 - How do I calculate areas of an area shapefile in square meters or in acres (ha)?
 I didn't find that functionality in the vector tools.
 - Stev_k
 Stev_k Correct answer
 8 years ago
 Make the layer editable, then use the field calculator (Layer>Open attribute table>Field Calculator/Ctrl+I or right click shapefile>Open attribute table>Field Calculator/Ctrl+I). There is an operator "$area" that will calculate the area of each row in the table. All units will be calculated in the units of the projection, so you probably want to project it to a projection that uses feet or metres before doing that, rather than lat/lon.
 In current versions of QGIS if your data is in a Geographic CRS you can use the function transform() to project the geometries to a projected system (Preferably an equal area one) without the need to duplicate your data. In the Field calculator, something like this should work: area($geometry, 'EPSG:4326','EPSG:3763')
 _USER_: Do you mean 'area(transform($geometry, 'EPSG:4326','EPSG:3763'))'?
 _USER_ yes, my mistake.
 - This can also be done with Vector|Geometry Tools|Add/export geometry columns, which creates a new shapefile with area and perimeter (or length) columns added.
 Edit: (using the tool above, you can also unselect "save as new shape-file" in V1.8, the shapefile is now only updated!)
 Using the field calculator is probably a better idea, though, as it doesn't require the creation of a new shapefile.
 You can't change the attributes of the shapefile without enabling editing first, (calculating area counts as editing the attributes, you are adding a new column). Keep in mind that all units will be calculated in the units of the projection (meters bu default), so you to re-project it to a projected coordinate system first.
 - I wrote a script specifically for this. If you don't want to reproject your data, you can compute the area using ellipsoidal math.
 Processing Toolbox -> Tools -> Get scripts from on-line scripts collection -> Ellipsoidal Area
 You will find the script installed in Processing Toolbox -> Utils -> Ellipsoidal area
 The tool should be self explanatory and will allow you to calculate area in units of your choice regardless of projection.
 Can you give better example as code?
 - If the areas you are looking at are liable to change, such as looking at infrastructure layouts, catchment areas, study areas etc, I find it useful to simply label the areas, instead of adding them as attributes.
 Label-> round($area/10000,2)||' ha'
 This way you don't need to remember to update the catchment areas in the attribute tables as often.
 won't this save your values as strings? I would advise against saving numerical data as strings and instead include the area unit in the field name.
 - If not getting very accurate area calculations does not bother you (or if you do not want to play with different options in the field calculator as mentioned by some of the answers and comments above), in the current version of QGIS (i.e., QGIS 3.12) there is an easy way to deal with this. Go to "Project >> Properties >> General" and change the units for distance and area measurements. Now $area in the field calculator automatically transform the CRS for area (and for other geometric calculations if that matters).
 However, I personally recommend doing the method by _USER_ as it will give you more accurate results. Though you have to do a little search that what will be the 3rd parameter of transform function, i.e., most suitable CRS for your area of interest and its units.
