The Detective Lavender Mystery series is a collection of novels from Karen Charlton that explore the adventures of two members of the Bow Street Runners, a police force of sorts that existed in Regency England.
+The Story
'Catching the Eagle' was one of Karen Charlton's earliest works. The book came about when the author and her family went digging into their ancestry. She was surprised to learn that Jamie Charlton, an ancestor on her husband's side, had been quite the criminal.
This inspired Karen to write a story set in Regency England and which looked at the manner in which mysteries were solved at the time. The book told the story of a farm laborer by the names of Jamie Charlton who was accused of stealing a considerable sum.
'Catching the Eagle' matters because it marked the first appearance of Detective Stephen Lavender, a principal officer of the Bow Street Magistrate's court who was called in to investigate the situation.
Detective Stephen Lavender and Constable Ned Woods were just supporting characters when they were first introduced. However, with the relative success of 'Catching the Eagle', Karen Charlton decided to spin them off into their own story, creating the Detective Lavender Mystery series.
The books take place in England in the early 1800s. The protagonists are written to operate as part of the Bow Street Runners, the creation of a Chief Magistrate in London by the names of Henry Fielding, working essentially as the first professional police force in the area.
Stephen Lavender was a real person, a historical figure who people might stumble upon if they dig into court cases from that time period. Karen Charlton took this individual and fleshed him out to create a fully realized character that fights crime in the 1800s.
Detective Lavender is a strong, intelligent and pretty well off individual. He has a good head on his shoulders and it looks like he comes from a privileged section of society. When he is first introduced, the detective is in his early thirties, however, he is so stuffy and cardboard in the way he acts that many readers have admitted to initially confusing him for a much older individual.
Ned Woods is Lavender's opposite, a constable that shouldn't have anything to do with Detective Lavender's murder cases but who keeps getting roped into the renowned officer's business.
Woods and Lavender are best friends, even though that doesn't always seem like the case. Of the two, Woods is the nice one. He is warm and earthy and kind. He generally puts people at ease.
And as the talker of the duo, he tends to do most of the interacting with witnesses and victims. People are happy to invite Woods into their lives. With Lavender, things are a little more complicated.
Lavender is prone to disappearing into his mind and getting lost in his thoughts and ruminations. He has a tendency to put people off and to make them feel like he is disregarding them.
This is partially the reason why their partnership works. Woods might not be the smartest cookie in the jar but he has the tact necessary to get information out of people. Lavender's social skills are a little lacking but he knows how to put information together to form cogent conclusions.
While Lavender and Woods normally drive the mystery aspect of the Detective Lavender Mystery series, Dona Magdalena plays just as important a role. The Spanish woman is Lavender's love interest.
She is described as a spicy and feisty woman with demons in her past. She fled a conflict in Europe and currently lives in England as an immigrant.
The Detective Lavender Mystery series has been criticized for some of its inconsistencies. For instance, because Detective Lavender clearly has an aristocratic background, some fans do not believe that he would freely mix with so many characters that are clearly in a much lower social class.
Additionally, some of the language isn't as accurate as historically savvy readers would like. This isn't even taking into account all the aristocratic female characters that Karen Charlton creates who live very independent lives that see them running their own businesses and supporting entire families despite living in a society that would have greatly restricted them.
Karen Charlton often fields questions regarding the fact that her characters are living in the Regency period but they feel like they would be perfectly at home in the 21st Century.
Of course, there are those audiences that have lauded Karen for so thoroughly immersing them in the period of Regency England through the sights, sounds and smells she describes in her scenes.
Karen's biggest strength in the Detective Lavender Mystery series isn't the mysteries themselves but her ability to create and manage complex plots. More often than not, readers have said that they had the mysteries of the author's different books figured out by the half way mark. But that did not stop them from enjoying the process Lavender went through to come to the right conclusion.
+The Heiress of Linn Hagh
A beautiful woman goes missing at Linn Hagh. No one knows how she left her locked bedchamber. They do not even know whether she was kidnapped or simply escaped.
And as a notable heiress, her case is of such importance that Detective Lavender and Constable Woods are summoned to investigate. There are a lot of rumors swirling about the situation but no solid leads.
No one will talk to Lavender and Woods, not the servants and certainly not the heiress' siblings. There seems to be a feud simmering and the only way Detective Lavender can hope to put the case to rest is if he brings to light a series of family secrets.
+The Sans Pareil Mystery
April Clare was a promising young actress, so her passing is greatly felt at the Sans Pareil Theatre. And because her remains were found in suspicious circumstances, Detective Lavender and Constable Woods are summoned to investigate.
It doesn't take them long to learn that there's more going on than meets the eye. They must unravel the many mysteries they discover quickly as the Napoleonic War is looming across the channel. There's a lot of suspicion of treachery in the air

Standard fuzzy systems suffer the "curse of dimensionality" which has become the bottleneck when applying fuzzy systems to solve complex and high dimensional application problems. This curse of dimensionality results in a larger number of fuzzy rules which reduces the transparency of fuzzy systems. Furthermore too many rules also reduce the generalization capability of fuzzy systems. Hierarchical fuzzy systems have emerged as an effective alternative to overcome this curse of dimensionality and have attracted much attention. However, research on learning methods for hierarchical fuzzy systems and applications is rare. In this paper, we propose a scheme to construct general hierarchical fuzzy systems based on the gradient-descent method. To show the advantages of the proposed method (in terms of accuracy, transparency, generalization capability and fewer rules), this method is applied to a function approximation problem and the result is compared with those obtained by standard (flat) fuzzy systems.

update defaults configured on individual Column objects, i.e. those described at Column INSERT/UPDATE Defaults including those configured by the Column.default, Column.onupdate, Column.server_default and Column.server_onupdate parameters, will continue to function normally even if those Column objects are not mapped. This is because in the case of Column.default and Column.onupdate, the Column object is still present on the underlying Table, thus allowing the default functions to take place when the ORM emits an INSERT or UPDATE, and in the case of Column.server_default and Column.server_onupdate, the relational database itself emits these defaults as a server side behavior.

If you want to have something specific in your legend, it's easier to define objects that you place in the legend with appropriate text. For example:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pylab
line1 = pylab.Line2D(range(1),range(1),color='white',marker='x',markersize=10, markerfacecolor="red",alpha=1.0)
line2 = pylab.Line2D(range(10),range(10),marker="_",linewidth=3.0,color="dodgerblue",alpha=1.0)
plt.legend((line1,line2),('Text','Other Text'),numpoints=1,loc=1)
Here, line1 defines a short, white line (so essentially invisible) with the marker 'x' in red and full opacity. As an example, line2 gives you a longer blue line with no markers visible. By creating this "lines," you are able to more easily control their properties within the legend.

Socket.Connected Property
Gets a value that indicates whether a Socket is connected to a remote host as of the last Send or Receive operation.
Namespace: System.Net.Sockets
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
public bool Connected { get; }
Property Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if the Socket was connected to a remote resource as of the most recent operation; otherwise, false.
The Connected property gets the connection state of the Socket as of the last I/O operation. When it returns false, the Socket was either never connected, or is no longer connected.
The value of the Connected property reflects the state of the connection as of the most recent operation. If you need to determine the current state of the connection, make a nonblocking, zero-byte Send call. If the call returns successfully or throws a WAEWOULDBLOCK error code (10035), then the socket is still connected; otherwise, the socket is no longer connected.
If you call Connect on a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) socket, the Connected property always returns true; however, this action does not change the inherent connectionless nature of UDP.
The following code example connects to a remote endpoint, checks the Connected property, and checks the current state of the connection.
//.Connect throws an exception if unsuccessful
// This is how you can determine whether a socket is still connected.
bool blockingState = client.Blocking;
 byte [] tmp = new byte[1];
 client.Blocking = false;
 client.Send(tmp, 0, 0);
catch (SocketException e)
 // 10035 == WSAEWOULDBLOCK
 if (e.NativeErrorCode.Equals(10035))
 Console.WriteLine("Still Connected, but the Send would block");
 Console.WriteLine("Disconnected: error code {0}!", e.NativeErrorCode);
 client.Blocking = blockingState;
 Console.WriteLine("Connected: {0}", client.Connected);

It was a small Thompson-Houston machine with a capacity of fifty arcs, providing five lights for Logan City at $15.00 per month per light. January, 1886, the Logan Electric Light and Power Company was organized, capital stock $5000, one-half subscribed by Lundberg and Garff and the balance by Logan City Commissioners. In 1888, the city acquired complete ownership and it became Utah's first municipal electric light plant.

Why Are AirPods So Expensive & Overpriced?
If you have been looking for a new pair of wireless earbuds, you have most likely looked at the most popular pair on the market, Apple's AirPods.
These wireless earbuds were first released in 2016 and have remained a market leader ever since. But there is also a question many have asked since then, why are AirPods so overpriced? AirPods are consistently rated as a high-quality product, but what about them justifies charging $159? Is the sound that much better than better-known headphone producers such as Bose, JBL, or Beats by Dre?
This article will discuss why AirPods are so expensive, and why customers continue to buy them.
What Is So Attractive About AirPods?
AirPods in hand
With so many earbud options flooding the market, what is it about AirPods that make them so irresistible? The simplest answer is that over the last two decades Apple has become one of, if not the most, influential technology companies in the world.
Owning Apple products can be a status symbol for many customers. The iconic Apple logo on a computer or smartphone gives it an instant appeal to many people, because of what the brand represents. It also gives an instant jump in the price of the product.
The AirPods are no different. Customers love the sleek design and familiar style Apple uses with all their technology.
Bluetooth headphones have been around since 2004. Since then, they have become more popular as Bluetooth capabilities in smartphones have increased. With increases in battery life, sound quality, and on-the-go charging there are many reasons to love wireless earbuds. It isn't hard to see why over the last decade they seem to almost completely eliminate the use of wired headphones.
Apple, noticing this trend, was one of the first phone producers to completely get rid of the headphone jack with their iPhone 7 in 2016. Opting instead for a single Lightning connector. The announcement was not met with overall positivity by a large portion of their customers.
Many customers were still using wired headphones and resisted the idea of a dongle becoming necessary to listen to music. But Apple had a plan. A few months after the release of the iPhone 7, the tech giant debuted their now-iconic pair of headphones, the AirPods.
When Apple first released AirPods they put a large amount of money into advertising their wireless headphones. Commercials aired around the world, and their popularity soared. They sold millions of pairs, and since the first generation in 2016, Apple has released a new model almost every year, much like they do with their phones.
How expensive are AirPods' newest generations? The newest pair of AirPods Pro cost $249, $100 more than the original AirPods, making them one of the most expensive earbuds available. With newer generations available every year it allows Apple to create more demand for newer products. It also makes many customers feel a need for the newest design on the market, even if older generations still work fine.
The new AirPods Pro model does come with more features than the original, such as sweat resistance, and active noise cancellation. But it also comes with a large price increase. All of these features can be found in other earbuds, yet Apple continues to outsell all its' competition.
How Much Do AirPods Cost to Make?
How Much Do AirPods Cost to Make
With such a high price point, you may ask "How much does it cost to make AirPods?". The estimated cost of production, per pair, is $59-69. That means for every pair that Apple sells, they earn about $90-100. In 2019, Apple sold nearly 60 million pairs of AirPods. This means they turned a gross profit of almost $5 billion last year. They also controlled over 60% of the world's wireless earbud market. No other earbud comprised more than 10% of the remaining total sales.
With such a stranglehold on the market, it looks difficult for any other earbud to reach the heights AirPods has. Apple sees this as an opportunity to continue growing its earbud business and doesn't plan to slow down anytime soon.
With iPhone sales starting to slow down year to year, Apple sees AirPods as a way to keep profits rising for the foreseeable future. Since their growth in popularity imitation AirPods have begun flooding the market. In fact, if you type fake AirPods into an Amazon marketplace search there are over 50,000 results that come back.
However, most of these imposters seem to only aim for copying the classic all-white design and lack sound quality. It appears that every earbud on the market is playing catch up with the AirPods, and nothing can slow down the originals.
Outside of the status symbol of wearing a cool pair of white cordless headphones, what made AirPods special? Why are AirPods so expensive, and increasing in price each generation?
From a technology standpoint, they do offer greater compatibility with Apple products— something that other headphone producers cannot match. Users who own multiple Apple products love the ease of use across platforms. They are willing to pay the difference to keep all their technology the same brand.
However, from a sound perspective, AirPods do not offer the best quality-to-price ratio. Wireless earbuds from well-known producers such as Beats, Bose, and Jabra all offer great options at a range of prices. If you still want a name that you can trust and a better price, it is easy to find alternatives.
Bottom Line
Apple's devices
The popularity of AirPods has exploded since its release in 2016. Pairs have sold all over the world and appear to be becoming more popular each year. Although, with a high price point there are cheaper alternatives available that offer better sound quality.
AirPods are about the status symbol, but now you can get a lookalike pair for a third of the price. When they first came to market, they were unique, but the competition has now caught up. With so many options on the market now, unless you want to pay for the brand you can find earbuds elsewhere.

While prior works on enclosure approach, guarantees the space utilization of a single geometrical area, mostly rectangle, this paper proposes a flexible enclosure tree layout method for partitioning various polygonal shapes that break through the limitation of rectangular constraint. Similar to Treemap techniques, it uses enclosure to divide display space into smaller areas for its sub-hierarchies. The algorithm can partition a polygonal shape or even an arbitrary shape into smaller polygons, rotated rectangles or vertical-horizontal rectangles. The proposed method and implementation algorithms provide an effective interactive visualization tool for partitioning large hierarchical structures within a confined display area with different shapes for real-time applications. We demonstrated the effective of the new method with a case study, an automated evaluation and a usability study. © 2013 ACM.

Morocco increases water reserves
Morocco's dam reservoirs reached 69 percent capacity as of March 18, 2004, holding a total 10.2 billion cubic meters of water, up seven percent compared to the same month last year, reported MAP.
According to the secretariat of state in charge of water, the rise in reserves is due to the high level of rainfall recorded between September 1, 2003 and March 18, 2004.
In 2001, Morocco embarked on an initiative to construct nine new major dams and eight mid-size dams by 2004, in an effort to alleviate water shortages in the country. The agricultural sector in Morocco consumes about 80 percent of the available water in the Kingdom, estimated at 14 billion cubic meters. — (menareport.com)

Halloween, Valentine's Day Found to Influence Birth Timing
Halloween and Valentine's Day appear to influence when expecting mothers give birth, new research at the Yale School of Public Health has found. Halloween, with its symbolism of witches and death, is treated as an unfavorable day for childbirth. In contrast, Valentine's Day, with its symbolism of flowers and love, is treated as a favorable day for childbirth. The study found a decrease in births on Halloween and an increase on Valentine's Day. The association of the two holidays with birth patterns was shown for the first time. On Halloween there was a 5.3 percent decrease in spontaneous births and a 16.9 percent decrease in cesarean births, compared to other births occurring within one week before and one week after the October holiday. Whereas, on Valentine's Day there was a 3.6 percent increase in spontaneous births and a 12.1 percent increase in cesarean births.
"The study suggests that beliefs arising from our culture can have a greater impact on physical functioning than we might suspect," says Becca Levy, lead author and associate professor of epidemiology and psychology at Yale. Study co-authors were Martin Slade and Pil Chung, also at Yale. The findings show that pregnant women may have some control over the timing of spontaneous births—traditionally believed to be beyond their control—and that scheduled births are also affected by the symbolism of the two holidays. The study drew on birth-certificate information for all births in the United States across 11 years. The Halloween period included 1.8 million births, and the Valentine's Day period included 1.6 million births. The findings are published in the current issue of the journal Social Science and Medicine.

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

Building physics in modular construction
Outstanding properties
Building physics properties for modular buildings are easily the equal of those offered by conventionally constructed buildings. Fire prevention and sound and thermal insulation meet the prescribed or desired levels in system assembly, ensuring that modular buildings meet the standards valid in each country or region.
Fire prevention
The country-specific requirements and standards for fire prevention, such as DIN 4102, for example, are met in standardised ALHO modular buildings, and fire prevention classes between F30 and F120 can be reached. The results are repeatedly confirmed by ongoing in-house fire tests and by independent reports from reputable fire prevention institutions.
Thermal insulation
When it comes to thermal insulation, ALHO modular buildings naturally meet all the requirements of the relevant country-specific standards with a correspondingly high level of component insulation. Renewable energies such as solar power, photovoltaics or combined power-heat systems can also be integrated into modular buildings without any problems.
Sound insulation
ALHO modular buildings provide very good sound insulation as an integral component of the system. The double-shell wall and ceiling system means that the relevant sound insulation requirements can easily be met. Generally, the sound insulation values measured in the completed modular building are actually much better than the values required by law, both between the storeys and between different rooms on the same level.

Numerical Simulation of the coupling efficiency for the light emitting from a commercially available ball-lens capped TO-can laser diode into a single-mode fiber (SMF) is reported. The alignment sensitivity of the coupling efficiency for this laser-to-lens-to-fiber optical configuration is investigated in detail. The result is useful for defining the design tolerances and assembly specifications of economic SMF pigtailed To-can laser diode packages. An optical simulation software package is used to compute the laser-to-lens-to-fiber coupling efficiency. By adjusting the nominal system parameters of the given optical configuration, the maximum coupling efficiency calculated from the best fitted simulation result being equal to 17.3% is obtained, which very well agrees with experimental result of ∼16%. However, it is a bit lower than that of previously reported. It is noticed that in the presence of the ball lens, the axial alignment sensitivity on the coupling efficiency is much relieved as compared to the butt-coupling configuration. However, the lateral alignment sensitivity is still very stringent. An experimental measurement is done on this optical system The alignment sensitivities of the coupling efficiency on both directions are obtained. The results are compared with that from the simulation. A very good fit of the data onto simulated curve can be obtained by adjusting some of the critical system parameters.

Implications of radial head hemiarthroplasty dish depth on radiocapitellar contact mechanics
Journal of Hand Surgery
URL with Digital Object Identifier
© 2015 American Society for Surgery of the Hand. Purpose To investigate the effect of radial head implant dish depth on radiocapitellar joint contact mechanics. Methods Computed tomography images of 13 fresh-frozen cadaveric humeri were reconstructed into 3-dimensional finite element models with accurate cartilage geometry. Native humeri were paired with the corresponding native radial heads and axisymmetric radial head prosthesis models of the following dish depths: 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm, and 3.0 mm. Radiocapitellar contact mechanics were quantified at 4 different flexion angles (0°, 45°, 90°, and 135°) with a 100-N axial load applied to the radial head using a modeling protocol previously validated by cadaveric studies. The radial head was permitted to translate freely to its optimal position while the humerus was fully constrained. Output variables were contact area and peak contact stress. Results All prostheses had significantly decreased contact area and increased peak contact stress at all flexion angles relative to the native radiocapitellar joint. Contact area increased with prosthesis dish depth until reaching a plateau with a predicted local maximum at a mean depth of 3.2 ± 0.7 mm. Peak contact stress was elevated for both the shallowest and deepest models and reached a predicted local minimum at a mean depth of 1.8 ± 0.3 mm. Conclusions Contact area and peak contact stress were dependent on radial head prosthesis dish depth. There was an optimal implant dish depth for radiocapitellar contact mechanics at approximately 2 mm. Clinical relevance Optimizing radiocapitellar contact mechanics using rigorous and systematic prosthesis design techniques may lead to better clinical outcomes due to reduced capitellar cartilage degradation.

The purpose of this study was to validate the three dimensional model of classifying coping behavior. The three are: Encounter-Avoidance, Problem-Emotion, Behavior-Cognition Dimension. A set of questionnaires on coping behavior and psychological stress responses were administered, and 1 604 undergraduates and 1 296 adults completed them. Analyses of covariance structure were performed, and results indicated that the three dimensional model, with eight coping style, showed the highest goodness-of-fit statistics. Multiple regression analyses also indicated that Problem-Emotion and Behavior-Cognition dimensions were useful for predicting the coping effects on psychological stress responses. Therefore, the two dimensional model of Problem-Emotion and Behavior-Cognition, with four coping style, would be helpful for further investigation of coping behavior that would buffer psychological stress responses.

The Workbook URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) is used to represent the identity and location of files within a Maple workbook or files residing inside another workbook in a given file directory.
A URI would look like this:
Using the URI mentioned above as an example,
The substring, "this://" identifies this URI as a reference to the current open workbook.
The third slash represents the root directory of the Maple workbook.
Finally, "MyCode.mpl" represents the Maple code file located in the root directory of the current workbook.
In general, the URI syntax is "this:////".
Referencing Files in Another Workbook
While URIs of the form "this:////" are used to represent files within a workbook, it is also possible to reference files contained in other workbooks.
The syntax for such a URI is:
"maple:////"
Creating a Workbook URI on Windows
The file separator on a Windows operating system is backslash "\". However, the backslash is also an escape character. So in order to use the backslash as a file separator, a second backslash is required.
A example of a workbook URI on Windows would be:
Creating a Workbook URI on Linux or Mac OS X
The forward slash "/" character is the valid file separator on Linux or Mac OS X.
An example of a workbook URI on Linux or Mac OS X would be:

First Appearance: "The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer"
A tin of WWII Beans, presumably meant to be eaten during World War II, was seen in the kitchen at Springfield Elementary School.
Lunchlady Dora used the tin when she was preparing lunch for the school's cafeteria. When Doris opened the tin, spirits came out of it and moaned eerily as they flew around the kitchen. Doris, annoyed, then told them to get into the food.

Mienshao seems to be based on an ermine and also seems to have drawn inspiration from whip fighting as well as a variety of martial arts, such as Shaolin Kung Fu. The fur on its arms also resemble the shuixiu (水袖) or "water sleeves", which are long, white, flowing sleeves used by performers of Chinese operas to express the emotions of their character.
Mienshao, according to Bulbapedia, is based on an ermine, not a ferret. However, on the Wikipedia page linked in the Bulbapedia article, it states that ermines belong to the Mustelidae family, which includes ferrets, along with weasels. The Bulbapedia page also states that the literal translation for Mienshao's Mandarin Chinese name is "master weasel", and, on Mienfoo's page, it states that its name in the same language literally translates to "Kung-Fu weasel".

This paper considers a problem of distributed tracking with consensus on a time-varying graph with noisy communications links. A distributed tracking with consensus algorithm is proposed to handle a time-varying network topology in which every node generates own local tracking estimates and communicates over noisy links. The conditions on the connectivity graph are established so that distributed consensus can be achieved in the presence of noisy communication links when the graph topology is time-varying. The steady-state performance of the proposed distributed tracking with consensus algorithm is analyzed and compared with that of distributed local Kalman filtering with centralized fusion. Simulation results and performance analysis of the proposed algorithm are also given.


WHO IS JONES? Why was this oldest bridge in the Philippines named Jones Bridge?
Puente de Espana, then Jones Bridge, to honor the man behind the Jones Act granting independence to the Philippine Islands.
WILLIAM ATKINSON JONES. Member of US House of Representatives from 1891 to 1918. Right about the same period when the US bought the Philippines from Spain for $20 million. Imagine that. US$20Million for 7,107 islands.
The Post Office Building and the Jones Bridge. Two landmarks rich in history.
Back to the question — why was the bridge named after Rep. William Atkinson Jones? Used to be called Puente de España since it was built in 1701 spanning over Pasig River and connecting Binondo to the core of the capital city of Manila. Originally done by Juan Arellano in the Neo-Classical design but destroyed and renamed Jones Bridge by the US Colonial Government in 1916 to honor the man who sponsored the bill, later enacted into law, granting independence to the Philippines. Bombed out in World War II, this formerly ornate arch bridge was yet again rebuilt but in simpler design after 1945. The oldest bridge in the country.
Not my copy. Credits to Old Manila Nostalgia.
When Jones died in 1918, the Philippines paid for the marker on his grave in gratitude for the Jones Act which granted Philippine Independence. So much history behind this bridge across Pasig River with a bonus grand view of yet another landmark, the Postal Office of Manila. Next time you head for Binondo or Chinatown and cross this bridge from Plaza Lawton, think Philippine Independence. 😉

I need help on a math question.
Carly makes a rectangular pepperoni pizza using a 12-inch by 16-inch rectangular pan. If Kyle wants to make a circular pepperoni pizza that is approximately the same thickness as Carly's pizza using the same amount of dough, what should be the diameter of Kyle's circular pan? Please round your answer to the nearest tenth of an inch.
Thanks for helping!
3 Answers | Add Yours
For this question, you need to find the area of the rectangular pan of pizza first. As you know, you find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the two sides by one another. In this case, that is 12*16 = 192.
Then you have to figure the area of a circle. The equation for that is area = pi*r^2 where r is the radius of the circle.
So we know the area and we know pi so our equation is
192 = 3.14(r^2).
We divide both sides by 3.14 and we get
61.14 = r^2
Take the square root of 61.14, which is 7.8.
So the circular pan needs to be 7.8 inches in radius or 15.6 inches in diameter.
Here the volume of material of the dough is same and the thickness of the pizza is same but only the shape and area are different.The first one is rectangular and the second one is flat cylinderical.
Let the thicknes of the pizza be h inch
The volume of the rectangular shape = length*breadth*h =16*12*h...........(1)
The volume of the circular pizza = pi*radius^2*thickness=pi*(diamete/2)^2*thicknes.
Since the volume represented at (1) and (2) are same,
(pi*d^2/4)h = 16*12*h) The h gets cancelled. So solving for, d,
d = sqrt(16*12*4/pi) = 15.63528 inch =15.6 inch
When the thickness of the pizza as well as the amount of dough used for the rectangular and the circular pizzas are same, the areas of the pizza will also be same.
The area of rectangular pizza of 12" x 16" is given by the formula:
Area of rectangle = A = Width x Length = 12 x 16 = 192 sq.inch
The area of a circle is given by:
Area of circle = A = (pi/4) x d^2
Where: d = diameter of circle
Therefore diameter of circular pizza with area = A is given by:
d = [A/(pi/4)]^1/2 = 2 x (A/pi)^1/2
Value of A = 192 and pi is a constant with value 3.141
d = = 2 x (192/3.141)^1/2 = 2 x 7.818 = 15.636 = 15.6"
Diameter of circular pan = 15.6"

Abstract: While teaching auditing using cases is regarded as an effective approach, spatial separation of students and teachers in online contexts can restrict the application of case teaching. This study examines an undergraduate auditing course implemented to address this challenge by integrating case teaching with ePortfolio assessment. Students' written ePortfolio submissions and scores were analysed. Results show that despite spatial separation of the online learner from peers and teachers, integrating case teaching with ePortfolio assessment elicits learner behaviour desirable in online auditing courses. This approach enables online learners' self-directed engagement as compared to instructor-led case teaching in conventional teaching contexts. Based on a new pedagogical approach for teaching auditing trialled in reduced (or absence of) face-to-face interaction, this study informs course design in auditing. It demonstrates that active student engagement, which presupposes an instructor's role to facilitate student involvement in case discussions, can be implemented in online teaching of auditing.

|Title:||Evolving Possibilistic Fuzzy Modelling|
|Abstract:||This paper suggests an evolving possibilistic approach for fuzzy modelling of time-varying processes. The approach is based on an extension of the well-known possibilistic fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering and functional fuzzy rule-based modelling. Evolving possibilistic fuzzy modelling (ePFM) employs memberships and typicalities to recursively cluster data, and uses participatory learning to adapt the model structure as a stream data is input. The idea of possibilistic clustering plays a key role when the data are noisy and with outliers due to the relaxation of the restriction on membership degrees to add up unity in FCM clustering algorithm. To show the usefulness of ePFM, the approach is addressed for system identification using Box & Jenkins gas furnace data as well as time series forecasting considering the chaotic Mackey-Glass series and data produced by a synthetic time-varying process with parameter drift. The results show that ePFM is a potential candidate for nonlinear time-varying systems modelling, with comparable or better performance than alternative approaches, mainly when noise and outliers affect the data available.|

Automatic Darkening Welding Filter
Definition - What does Automatic Darkening Welding Filter mean?
An automatic darkening welding filter contains a shutter module that is operated electronically. This module contains ultraviolet (UV) and infra red (IR) filters. The UV and IR filters do not need electricity to operate. The liquid crystal light valve, though, is operated electrically.
Safeopedia explains Automatic Darkening Welding Filter
The liquid crystal (LC) light valve is operated electrically. When the voltage is applied, the crystals re-orient themselves, which are separated by two separate sheets of glass. When the bright light from the welding operation strikes the light valve, the control module darkens the LC valve shutter. The liquid crystal is not sensitive to light itself, and it does not change the shade independently. It depends on the control circuit to change the tint of it.

We calculated the equation of state of neutron matter at zero temperature by means of the auxiliary field diffusion Monte Carlo (AFDMC) method combined with a fixed-phase approximation. The calculation of the energy was carried out by simulating up to 114 neutrons in a periodic box. Special attention was given to reducing finite-size effects at the energy evaluation by adding to the interaction the effect due to the truncation of the simulation box, and by performing several simulations using different numbers of neutrons. The finite-size effects due to kinetic energy were also checked by employing the twist-averaged boundary conditions. We considered a realistic nuclear Hamiltonian containing modern twoand three-body interactions of the Argonne and Urbana family. The equation of state can be used to compare and calibrate other many-body calculations and to predict properties of neutron stars.

This study uses household-level panel data on smallholder farmers in Ethiopia to estimate how rural population density (RPD) affects agricultural intensification and productivity. Our results suggest that higher RPD is associated with smaller farm sizes, and has a positive effect on input demand, represented by increased fertilizer use per hectare. Overall, increased input use does not lead to a corresponding increase in staple crop yields, and thus farm income declines as population density increases. This suggests a situation where farmers in areas of high RPD may be stuck in place, unable to sustainably intensify in the face of rising RPD and declining farm sizes.

Monthly utilities
just wondering how much do you guys pay a month for water and electricity? for single person and let's say during summer time with AC on half of the time
Both water and electricity are charged on a bimonthly basis. Water is cheap: around $200 every 2 months. Electricity can vary greatly between summer and winter due to the AC. In winter it's never more than $2000, where as the summer bill can push $3000.
2000 in winter and 3000 in summer those are every 2 months?
Yes, so it works out to be $1000 and $1500 per month in winter and summer, respectively.

Michaela deputy has controversial start at his new school
Barry Smith
Barry Smith, deputy headteacher at Michaela Academy for three years has had a rough start in his new job as principal of the former Great Yarmouth High School, now relaunched by Inspiration Trust as Great Yarmouth Chartered Academy.
Smith has hit local and national headlines as a result of importing Michaela methods into a school with its own ethos and history, rather than a brand new free school as Michaela was.
Parents admit that things were not perfect at GYHS but some are objecting strongly to the school rules and disciplinary methods as well as the tone of Smith's communications, written and verbal, with parents.
Parents have set up a Facebook page 'Yarmouth High Worried Parents' which currently has more than 1,000 members. A fascinating exchange of views is taking place on the page which cover the specific rules and their implementation but go wider to look at the rights of children and parents. At present pupils are also making contributions on the page and opinions vary with some welcoming the 'calm' that the rules bring and others finding themselves at the receiving end of the demerits. Similarly some parents are keen to challenge, if not the rules, the way they are being implemented. Parents with children with special needs are concerned about whether their child will be able to follow rules such as 'tracking the teacher' where every child has to have his or her eyes on the teacher throughout the lesson. Children on the autistic spectrum often have a problem with making and maintaining eye contact.
The local authority has set up and investigation into the school's exclusion policy which had not been updated to reflect recent DfE guidelines LINK
Tomorrow parents are to meet with Mr Smith. It should be interesting.

Does "tracking the teacher" apply to practical lessons like chemistry? I can foresee "health and safety" problems if it does!!!

'Parents are to meet with Mr Smith.'
According to the BBC East news website, a spokesman for the Inspiration Trust said: "The academy will be holding a meeting for all parents in the coming days so they can hear first-hand what Great Yarmouth Charter Academy is really all about."
They don't just bully the pupils, they try to brain-wash their parents as well! Will they succeed?
The BBC report includes this from a parent about Barry Smith:
'Seeing a parent and child crying outside the school, Mr Seal told the BBC he politely asked the head: "'Excuse me, why are you doing this to children?' His reply was 'If you don't like it, get out.'"

I saw a report a while ago that Michaela got an 'outstanding' from Ofsted. I assumed that this was inevitable as it's a 'free' school and Birbalthingy was Gove and the Tories' darling. Apart from the crap nature of Ofsted inspections, Ofsted people would know that an 'outstanding' was what was expected of them and to deny the Birb one would be like failing to clap and burst into tears of joy when Kim Jong-Un walks into the room.
I certainly hope I'm right. I'd hate to have to question my prejudices. Can anyone enlighten me?

Ordnance Survey Data Importer Coordinate Conversion Accuracy
Update 13 March 2013: Please see latest blog post (fix) on this here.
Thanks to a comment on my original post around my project that imports Ordnance Survey CodePoint data into SQL Server, I was made aware of a potential issue with the (awesome) third party GeoCoordConversion DLL I use to convert the Eastings/Northings coordinates supplied in the Ordnance Survey data files, into Latitude/Longitude coordinates. The issue relates to an inaccuracy in the conversion process, specifically to do with integer divisions instead of double.
So, this blog post is to document my analysis of that and try to quantify what, if any, impact there is on the accuracy of the conversion of Eastings/Northings to Latitude/Longitude. So what I've done is:
 1. Import the Ordnance Survey data set using the released version ( of the GeoCoordConversion library (i.e. the version my project uses)
 2. Downloaded the source code for GeoCoordConversion and corrected the parts of the calculations where the raised issue noted an inaccuracy
 3. Reran the data import into a separate table using the "corrected" conversion code
 4. Ran the following query to try and quantify how much of a difference it actually makes:
 SELECT orig.OutwardCode, orig.InwardCode,
 orig.GeoLocation.STDistance(new.GeoLocation) Dist
 FROM PostCodeData orig
 JOIN PostCodeDataWithFix new ON orig.InwardCode = new.InwardCode
 AND orig.OutwardCode = new.OutwardCode
SELECT MIN(Dist) AS MinDifferenceInMetres,
 MAX(Dist) AS MaxDifferenceInMetres,
 AVG(Dist) AS AverageDifferenceInMetres,
 SUM(CASE WHEN Dist = 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) AS NumberOfDifferences
The MAXIMUM distance between the 2 conversions for a given postcode is: 124.9 metres.
The MINIMUM distance between the 2 conversions for a given postcode is: 0 metres.
The AVERAGE distance between the 2 conversions for a given postcode is: 2.5 metres.
The TOTAL NUMBER of differences was 1,652,458 (out of 1,705,177 conversions).
This map shows the case that had the biggest difference (postcode: NR34 8JW). Plotted points are as follows:
(A) = position from conversion process before fix
(B) = position from conversion process with fix
(C) = position Google Maps gives for location
Note (B) and (C) are in the same spot, so that's why you can't see both!
View Larger Map
For me, and what I see as potential uses for this data, I personally don't see this as much of an issue especially with an average difference of 2.5 metres. I will add a comment on to the GeoCoordConversion project issue page, referencing this post. Though there doesn't look to be any activity on the project, so whether a fix can be applied is yet to be seen. That's my preferred route at present, to see if the author of that project is around to apply a fix as I currently don't have full knowledge of what I changes I can make to the source code and what would be acceptable in order to distribute the amended source code as part of my project (my project is released under a different, but compatible license...but things might get murkier when it comes to amending/distributing those amendments). In a nutshell, I just don't have time to try to make head and tail of what I can legitimately do (and I don't want to change the license for my project)!
All feedback welcomed
 1. Hi,
 Many thanks for this, it is exactly what I needed. Just a question would it be possible for you to share the updated dll?
 Many thanks
 1. _USER_ - I'll see what I can do. Need to check the license applied to that project / may contact that project owner.
 2. If you can't get anywhere with that project, you might want to take a look at my.NET coords library,
 I've used it for my own projects a lot and several other people are using it without too many issues
 3. _USER_ - awesome, thanks. I will give it a try soon!
 4. Wicked, really wicked cheers!

This project is abandoned.
Finally a simple command to easily add a looping jukebox music track to any area of your world via command blocks.
The plug-in has been tested on 1.6.2 but should work with older versions too.
 - /playmusic [ ]: Starts a single play of a jukebox record for a player, optionally at a custom x/y/z location. If location isn't specified then the player's current position is used. If triggered before the previous record has finished then the command is ignored.
 - /playmusic ForceStart [ ]: Starts the jukebox record immediately whether the previous play has finished or not.
 - /playmusic Stop: Stops the music for a given player.
 currently only supports Minecraft's built-in music discs: 13, Cat, Blocks, Chirp, Far, Mall, Mellohi, Stal, Strad, Ward, 11, Wait
To create an area with looping music (such as a world lobby or themed area) attach a command block to a redstone clock circuit (eg. a hopper clock) and add the command "playmusic _USER_[r=60] Mellohi". Any players within 60 blocks of the command block will hear Mellohi in a loop from their current position.
Equally you could trigger a single play on a redstone event such as a pressure plate or tripwire. Use ForceStart if this should interrupt any music still playing from a previous playmusic command (the plugin will always override music played from a jukebox block).
The music behaves as if it were played by a jukebox, so it has the same range of 65 blocks from the play location and doesn't follow the player until the track restarts. If you want the music to come from a fixed location in your map then enter co-ordinates eg. "playmusic _USER_[r=60] Mellohi -100 70 150".
By having several command blocks triggered at different times on a clock circuit with different records specified you can create a random play playlist, however different users will hear different songs.

 _USER_: Go
 Hi SpookyPirate, if you don't mind random order then simply having multiple command blocks triggered at different times with different records will create a random playlist, like a music wheel of fortune
 Random play
 Different players will hear different music tho, it's hard to avoid that as music handling in standard Minecraft is very basic and done entirely on the client (all the server can do is tell a client to start a music track from the beginning, so there's no way to come in on a track that's played halfway through already)

Consider the Kovsh
These ornamental ladles are kovshi (singular: kovsh), a type of Russian drinking vessel in the shape of a duck. Traditionally, various vessels were intended for different beverages. Kovshi, which come in a range of sizes, were intended for drinking kvass or beer. They were also used for drinking mead, a honey based drink that varied in flavor from using different fruits and berries. Silver kovshi were used for white mead, while golden kovshi were used for red mead.
They were originally made of wood and some early kovshi were made of tightly woven cloth. In the 16th century, they began to be made in silver and increasingly assumed a ceremonial status. The kovshi in our collection are nineteenth and early twentieth century pieces of the Old Russian style, seen in the multicolored enameling inspired by sixteenth and seventeenth-century patterns. A yearning for a Russian art unmarred by Western influence contributed to what became the Russian Revival in the 1870s and 1880s. Interest in exploring early Russian artistic traditions provided craftsmen with a rich body of sources for creating beautiful, distinctly Russian works of art. Cloisonné enameling is but one example; another is trompe l'oeil, discussed in this blog post. While many such pieces were ornamental, a few could function as punch bowls or salts depending on their size.
These pieces illustrate how time and again the functional and artistic merits of the decorative arts can be appreciated both independently and harmoniously.

If you want to tell somebody to go away you could shout:
"Hau ab!"
However this is considered as not very polite, much like "Get lost!", or "F*** off!". I am wondering where German "Hau ab" comes from to explain why it is considered as rude in usage. What does it mean literally?

"Hau ab!" is the imperative of abhauen, which has the colloquial meaning (among others) of to escape quickly.
The Duden derives it from hauen, which means to beat and is said to refer to beating a horse with the spurs on your boots. Grimm's dictionary still mentions the meaning to hurry, to run for hauen and gives the same reasoning:
13) hauen endlich für eilen, streben, laufen. diese bedeutung hat wol ihren ausgang von dem einhauen der sporen in des rosses weichen
Together with the prefix ab- (off, away) you get to run away, to get off quickly.
But note that this old meaning of hauen is no longer present, and Grimm's doesn't say abhauen to mean to escape. If they didn't miss it, the verb must have derived this meaning after this part of the dictionary was written, but before hauen lost its meaning of to hurry.
This gives room to a second theory: according to the book Westjiddisches Wörterbuch, the verb abhauen might derive from abbauen, which is Rotwelsch for to escape, to flee and has Yiddish origins. It is further said to have a Hebrew root that means to come.
A Rotwelsch, i.e. thieve's argot, origin might also have contributed to the derogative touch of abhauen, which in turn can also explain (to some degree at least) why "Hau ab" sounds rather rude, as you mention in your question.

According to this link, hauen used to mean "hurry" or "run" at some point in addition to "beat", probably originating from "beating a horse to make it run faster". "Ab" is a Latin prefix meaning "away from."
So "abhauen" just means "run away".
I don't think it's rude because of its etymology, but because there are very few polite ways to tell someone to go away in general, because a) you're telling someone what to do, and b) you're telling them "I don't want you here." That's going to come across as impolite pretty much regardless of what words you use.
I don't think "Hau ab!" is any more impolite than "Go away!" "F**k off!" is stronger than that, and a better German equivalent would be "Verpiss dich!"

Nice explanation. "Hau ab" definitely is stronger than "Geh weg". "Verpiss Dich" is used regionally (but less so recently). – Takkat Oct 4 '11 at 8:03
I agree that it's stronger than "Geh weg", but I'd say "Go away" is still a pretty good translation. English doesn't seem to have as many nuanced ways to tell someone to leave. It goes directly from "Go away" to various vulgarities. – Cass Oct 4 '11 at 8:15
But why "ab" and not "weg"? – Takkat Oct 4 '11 at 8:22
+1 for pointing out that "Hau ab" has not to be impolite. For example "Hau ab" is also somthing you could say to a fugitive if the "bad guys" come to get him. – 0x6d64 Oct 4 '11 at 10:55
_USER_ "Hau weg" means something completely different:… – starblue Oct 4 '11 at 12:06
Hau ab, this comes from the verb abhauen, that's a word for "to run away".

I've read article about WorkManager _URL_ and I have the question. In order to use Workmanager, I vae to create that object using admin console and during creating workmanager I can set some properties like thread priority or pool size. In that article we can see java example:
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
WorkManager wm = (WorkManager)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/wm/default");
ThreadFactory tf = new WASThreadFactory(wm);
BlockingQueue q = new ArrayBlockingQueue(10);
ThreadPoolExecutor pool = new ThreadPoolExecutor(
1, 10, 5000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS, q, tf);
My question is, what happen after putting new values to ThreadPoolExecutor constructor? Is it possible to overwrite WorkManager properties defined in Websphere by that code? What is dependence between values passed to constructor and values defined for Workmanager in websphere using admin console?

A portable basketball goal can provide you and your family with the same amount of fun as an in-ground basketball system with much less hassle. Portable basketball goals come with a hollow base for support, so there is no need to worry about digging a hole or pouring concrete to secure the pole. Since portable basketball goals are free standing, they do require a secure base to ensure that the basket does not tip over and cause injury or damage.
Filling Your Base With Water
Many basketball goals come with 35 gallon bases that can be filled to ensure that it doesn't shift or fall during use or bad weather. Water is the simplest choice, as it is easily accessible to most homes. To quickly secure the basketball goal, use a hose to fill the base completely.
Filling Your Base With Sand
Filling the base with sand is the option suggested by most portable basketball goal manufacturers for a number of reasons. Most importantly, sand is much more dense and heavier than water, and therefore can create a more sturdy foundation for your basketball hoop. Sand weighs just over 13 pounds per gallon while water weighs just over 8, making it the more efficient and reliable option.
Making The Right Choice
Both sand and water will work, and both have their advantages and disadvantages. Water is likely more readily available. Sand is more expensive and filling your base with it can be a messy job, but it is more effective. Basketball hoop manufacturers warn against keeping water in the base during the winter months when there is a possibility it could freeze and damage the base. Water also evaporates, creating more of a danger of your hoop shifting or falling due to a lack of stability. Furthermore, a leak of sand will be much easier to spot.
A Word of Warning
Safety is the most important concern when determining how to anchor your basketball goal, and all basketball goal manufacturers warn against placing bricks, bags of sand or concrete on top of the base. Choosing to do this rather than taking the time to fill the base can cause lead to damage from the hoop falling, or serious injury to the people using the goal.

With the explosion of smartphones and social network services, location-based social networks (LBSNs) are increasingly seen as tools for businesses (e.g., restaurants and hotels) to promote their products and services. In this article, we investigate the key techniques that can help businesses promote their locations by advertising wisely through the underlying LBSNs. In order to maximize the benefit of location promotion, we formalize it as an influence maximization problem in an LBSN, i.e., given a target location and an LBSN, a set of k users (called seeds) should be advertised initially such that they can successfully propagate and attract many other users to visit the target location. Existing studies have proposed different ways to calculate the information propagation probability, that is, how likely it is that a user may influence another, in the setting of a static social network. However, it is more challenging to derive the propagation probability in an LBSN since it is heavily affected by the target location and the user mobility, both of which are dynamic and query dependent. This article proposes two user mobility models, namely the Gaussian-based and distance-based mobility models, to capture the check-in behavior of individual LBSN users, based on which location-aware propagation probabilities can be derived. Extensive experiments based on two real LBSN datasets have demonstrated the superior effectiveness of our proposals compared with existing static models of propagation probabilities to truly reflect the information propagation in LBSNs.

Can a Way of Astral Self Monk use wisdom related scores for jumping?
I have several questions on the interactions between the Arms of Astral Self and the Jumping mechanics. According to the 3rd level feature, Arms of the Astral Self:
While the spectral arms are present, you gain the following benefits:
 - You can use your Wisdom modifier in place of your Strength modifier when making Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
 - You can use the spectral arms to make unarmed strikes.
 - When you make an unarmed strike with the arms on your turn, your reach for it is 5 feet greater than normal.
 - The unarmed strikes you make with the arms can use your Wisdom modifier in place of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls, and their damage type is force.
The Jumping session of the PHB states:
Long Jump
This rule assumes that the height of your jump doesn't matter, such as a jump across a stream or chasm. At your DM's option, you must succeed on a DC 10 Strength (Athletics) check to clear a low obstacle (no taller than a quarter of the jump's distance), such as a hedge or low wall. Otherwise, you hit it.
High Jump
When you make a high jump, you leap into the air a number of feet equal to 3 + your Strength modifier (minimum of 0 feet) if you move at least 10 feet on foot immediately before the jump. When you make a standing high jump, you can jump only half that distance. Either way, each foot you clear on the jump costs a foot of movement. In some circumstances, your DM might allow you to make a Strength (Athletics) check to jump higher than you normally can.
You can extend your arms half your height above yourself during the jump. Thus, you can reach above you a distance equal to the height of the jump plus 1½ times your height.
My questions would be, assuming that I have Arms of the Astral Self activated:
 1. Can I use my Wisdom Score instead of my strenght score to determine my long jump distance?
 2. Can I make a Wisdom (Athletics) check instead of a Strenght (Athletics) check?
 3. Can I use my Wisdom modifier instead of my Strenght modifier to determine my high jump's height?
 4. Can the extra 5 feet range of the Arms of Astral Self be used when accounting for "extending your arms half your height above yourself" on the high jump, making it 1½ your height + 5 feet instead of only 1½ your height?
I am aware that some of the answers to these questions are up to DM discretion, so I would like to know, if possible, what would be the RAW interpretation and also how would you rule it in your games.
In advance, I'm extremely grateful to whoever takes time to answer these 🙂
Does a PF2e spellcaster who takes multiclass dedications into other spellcasting classes, and related spellcasting feats, gain more spell slots?
Ezren is a level 10 evocation wizard, and hence would have spell slots of the following levels:
+-------------+-----------------+ | Spell level | Number of slots | +-------------+-----------------+ | 1 | 4 | | 2 | 4 | | 3 | 4 | | 4 | 4 | | 5 | 4 | +-------------+-----------------+
However, at level 2 Ezren took the Sorcerer multiclass dedication. At level 4 he took Basic Sorcerer Spellcasting, and Bloodline Breadth at level 8.
How many spell slots does Ezren have in a given day? Is it:
Because at level 8, spellcasting archetype feats grant an additional spell slot of first, second and third level, AND the bloodline breadth feat increases each of these by one?
Or do these sources of spell slots not stack for some reason? Coming from fifth edition, a wizard who multiclasses sorcerer still has the same number of spell slots as a pure wizard, so I'd like to clarify my understanding here.
Is it possible for the runtime and input size in an algorithm to be inversely related?
I'm wondering if it's possible for algorithms that have monotonically decreasing runtime with the input-size – just as a fun mental exercise. If not, is it possible to disprove this claim? I haven't been able to come up with an example or counterexample so far, and this sounds like an interesting problem.

Help understanding a theorem Kleinberg proves related to sequence alignment
This is from Kleinberg's Algorithm Design text (Theorem 6.14)
Let $ M$ be an alignment of $ X$ and $ Y$. If $ (m, n) \notin M$, then either the $ m^{\text{th}}$ position of $ X$ or the $ n^{\text{th}}$ position of $ Y$ is not matched in $ Y$.
The theorem does not state that $ m, n$ must be the last elements of $ X$ and $ Y$ respectively, but earlier, when introducing the topic, he uses $ m, n$ to denote the last entries of the two strings. Which of these is correct?
Unrelated applications like games accessing 'webcache' related files
As title suggests im wondering if a game,for example, has any business accessing 'webcache_counters'.
After attempting to clean my webcachev01 file due to its oddly large filesize given the fact i dont use IE or Microsoft Edge at all, I noticed in processexplorer that alot of my random applications were accessing a file with the suffix 'webcache_counters' followed by a string of numbers I'd imagine to be a registry key.
Strange thing about this handle is that i cant view its properties nor close the handle. With the first saying that it is 'Unable to query' and the latter saying i lack administrative rights. To clarify I am the sole user and administrator on this machine.
All this is having me increasingly worried, ive been having recent fears of malware on my PC and this has appeared in my rigourous inquiry of my files and processes. How can an innocuous sounding file/handle bar me from even closing it in process explorer?
Create dynamic sql query to select all related data in DB based on entry table and ID
Hope all is well. I am hoping you can help me.
Problem Statement – I'm tasked to create a dynamic SQL statement which will select all related data from a given table where the Identifier is passed. For each table where the relevant data is found i would like the data to be exported onto a separate tab of within excel
If i was doing this manually done this i would perform the following queries and export the data onto each tab;
Select * from Mason where id = 12345 Select * from MasonContacts where Companyid= 12345 Select * from MasonOpportunities where Comid = 12345
However given the sheer volume of tables this isn't viable.
Step 1 : Type in my identifier (in this case my identifier is a field called "Id" in the Table "Mason") The query will always start from this table.
Table Name : Mason Field : Id = "12345"
Step 2 : Search against table "MasonContacts", search against the field "Companyid". Return all columns & records where the field "Companyid = 12345"
Table Name : MasonContacts Field : Companyid
Step 3 : Search against table "Mason Opportunities ", search against the field "Comid". Return all columns & records where the field "Company = 12345"
Table Name : MasonOpportunities Field : Comid
Looking forward to your help

Databases and B-Trees: What are Keys and how are they related
I confused about the description & definition of "key" occuring as terminology for databases and b-trees.
In first case dealing with theory of databases a key is defined as a choice for a in certain sense minimal (see below) subset $ K \subset A := \{A_1,A_2,…,A_n\}$ of a fixed set of attributes $ A_i$ parametrizing a data table (consisting of relations; a single relation is abstraction of a row in the table), where each attribute is literally a column specifying a property of objects = relations.
A key is characterized by property that there exist no two different relations (a relation is a row) which have exactly the same values for all attributes which belong to the key. And a key is a minimal subset with this property, ie there not exist a proper smaller subset of attributes contained in the key and having the property described in last sentence. Clearly keys are not unique. So the set of a keys is certain subset of the power set of the set attributes $ A_i$. See also here:
On the other hand the key concept occures as well for b-trees:
Here keys are a priori numbers or integers and different knots of b-tree contain different totally ordered subsets of keys
