What's the origin of the phrase 'Dollars to doughnuts'?
Dollars to doughnuts'Dollars to doughnuts' is one of several 'dollars to...' phrases, like 'dollars to buttons' and 'dollars to cobwebs', which date from 1884 (in G. W. Peck's Boss Book) and 1904 (in The Boston Herald) respectively. Buttons and cobwebs were presumably chosen for their obvious lack of value, but the expressions failed to catch on as they lacked the perky alliteration of 'dollars to doughnuts'.
This is, of course, an American phrase. It is occasionally spelled as 'dollars to donuts', which only emphasis its US origin as, outside the USA, a donut is most definitely a doughnut.
'Dollars to doughnuts' is a pseudo betting term, pseudo in that it didn't originate with actual betting involving doughnuts, but just as a pleasant-sounding alliterative phrase which indicated short odds - dollars are valuable but doughnuts aren't. The phrase parallels the earlier English betting expression 'a pound to a penny'.
The phrase appears to have originated in mid 19th century USA. The earliest citation I can find for it is in the newspaper The Daily Nevada State Journal, February 1876:
Whenever you hear any resident of a community attempting to decry the local paper... it's dollars to doughnuts that such a person is either mad at the editor or is owing the office for subscription or advertising.
It doesn't crop up again in print until some years later, apart from a similar citation in a March edition of the Nevada State Journal, which suggests that the (unnamed) author of those pieces either coined the term himself or appropriated some street slang that he had heard.

How To Prepare A Pressure Cooker To Bake Cake
khao's picture
Have you ever tasted a pressure cooker cake? It tastes as amazing as an oven baked cake; the only difference is that you have to prepare a pressure cooker to bake cake instead of an oven.
The pressure cooker creates pressure and heat from the steam is built in it. By cooking in pressure cooker one not only gets tasty food to eat but also saves on cooking time.
However, there are two ways to bake a cake in pressure cooker; sand way and the water way.
It is up to you, the method you want your cake to be baked as cake made by both these methods are soft and delicious.
The most important part in baking cake in a pressure cooker is to first prepare a pressure cooker to bake cake. So, here is what you need to do:
 - Take a pressure cooker, big enough to contain the baking pan.
 - Wash it firmly with soap solution. The cooker should be free of odor before a cake is baked or else it may spoil the cake's taste.
 - Wipe it with a clean towel.
 - Now, remove the whistle of the pressure cooker. We do not make use of the whistle while baking cake. The vent is let open so that the steam can disperse.
 - If you want to bake cake with sand method, put some sand on the cooker's base not more than an inch. This method is recommended if you do not have a baking stand to keep the baking pan. This helps the baking pan by not letting it touch the surface of pressure cooker.
 - If you have a baking stand for baking pan, follow the water method for baking. Pour water in the pressure cooker, at least one and half inch up from the bottom. Now keep the baking stand in the cooker.
 - Place the baking pan filled with the cake batter on the sand or the baking stand, depending on your method.
 - Put the lid of pressure cooker, without the whistle and let the pressure cooker hear for 45 minutes on low flame.
The cake will be ready; you can check it by putting a toothpick or a knife.

The Director-General of UNESCO, Koïchiro Matsuura, today expressed his deep regret at the destruction of Québec's ancient drill hall, a landmark adjacent to the Historic District of Old Québec, which was inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1985.
"I deeply regret the destruction of this important landmark," said the Director-General. "It is particularly sad that this proud testimony of Québec's history was so severely damaged on the eve of the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the founding of Québec City."
"It is doubly poignant that this loss should occur at a time when Canada is showing great and generous commitment to heritage preservation with its preparations to host the next session of the World Heritage Committee in July," the Director-General declared. "I hope that it will be possible to rebuild the ancient drill hall using existing plans and photographs," he concluded.
Built of brick and timber in 1887, the landmark burnt down on 4 April. Only one brick wall, the main entrance and two towers remained after the blaze whose cause has yet to be determined.

Is 100mm of concrete enough in naturally-ventilated buildings?
A question often asked by architects and designers is: "Will 100mm of concrete provide enough thermal mass?" The answer largely depends on the extent to which you want to optimise the building design. It is sometimes thought that a 100mm of concrete is sufficient, but this fails to take account of a range of factors including how buildings actually respond to real weather conditions. For example, a naturally-ventilated office with exposed 100mm concrete composite floors (steel decking/soffit with insitu concrete topping) might have sufficient heat capacity to cope with a simple 24-hour heating and cooling cycle. However, in addition to a building's daily cycle, there are also longer cycles related to a typical hot spell (usually three to five days) and also the five working days per week cycle, from which heat will reach different depths within the available thermal mass. In the case of floors in a non-air conditioned building for example, the greater the slab depth, the longer the time period it responds to; the core of a 300mm thick concrete slab responds to the monthly average condition and draws heat in deeper over an extended period of hot weather.
For longer time periods these factors are important because it is the longer-term average room temperatures that define the thermal storage core temperature and hence the temperature gradient that draws heat in to the concrete. So, whilst a 100mm of concrete offers some useful thermal mass, thicker slabs provide greater temperature stability and increased cooling performance across a range of conditions including hot periods.
To help visualise what this means in practice, the graph below shows how the soffit temperature of exposed 100mm and 300mm floors in a naturally-ventilated office respond to hot weather. This was produced using finite difference modelling to calculate the heat transfer at the soffit and into the floor slab over the course of several days, during which there is a shift to warmer weather.

The following three items are common concerns registered with the township office:
- Property Maintenance: high grass, weeds, rubbish, etc.
- Zoning: vehicles without a current state inspection, registration, or license plate on private property.
- Ordinance: animal concerns (such as dogs), noise, etc.
The process for filing a concern is:
- Submit a Resident Concern Form. Click here for the form, or pick one up at the township office.
- Mail or drop off the form, or a written letter, to the attention of Tom Daniels, Zoning Officer, 1240 Maple Avenue, Lancaster, PA 17603, or
- Send your concern by email to Gretchen Smith _EMAIL_ or Tom Daniels _EMAIL_
The concern should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person registering it. The township is not obligated to process anonymous concerns, but will consider them on a case by case basis. Public health and safety issues should be reported under any circumstances.
When a concern is founded, the township office will follow procedure in order to resolve the matter. At times, these procedures can be lengthy. The township will do its best to keep the lines of communication open and resolve the matter as soon as possible.
It's always a good policy to talk with your neighbor first when there is a problem. Most residents prefer to have a neighbor approach them personally instead of receiving an official violation notice from the township.


California Tort Claims Act 2017
California's Tort Claims Act (CTCA) includes the rules and regulations that govern how claims are filed against a government entity. If the government is to be named in a lawsuit, the claim must fall within the guidelines of the California Tort Claims Act.
Situations wherein your claim will fall under the Act include:
 - You trip and fall in a government building
 - A county vehicle is involved in a motor vehicle accident with you
If a government employee or agency was negligent in some way, you'll need to follow the guidelines of the California Tort Claims Act. But if the government was not involved in any way leading up to your injury, a personal injury lawsuit can be filed.
Timely Written Claims: 6 Months to File
A public entity can only be sued if the plaintiff:
 - Provides a written claim for damages
 - Provides the written claim within 6 months of the incident
Unlike personal injury claims which have a two-year period to file a lawsuit, you must file a lawsuit against a governmental entity, or public entity, within a six-month period. Failure to make your claim within this time, which will be presented to the entity in question, will void your ability to file a claim.
The time starts to tick once the incident occurs – when you're filled with medical urgencies, financial issues and life-changing events.
If you've made your claim in accordance to the government code, you'll need to wait.
Public Entity Responsibility
If you've provided your written claim, the public entity must respond in a 45-day period after being served. The public entity will respond with the entity's action on the claim. The entity has four main options at this point in the claim process:
 1. Reject the claim
 2. Accept the claim
 3. Reject in part
 4. Compromise
Reject in part and compromise are the two options that provide the most concern. An entity has the legal right to reject in part, but accept the balance of the claim. A compromise will be a negotiation wherein you'll need to go back and forth with the entity.
What happens if you don't receive a response?
 1. If no response is given to your claim, the court will view this as a rejection. A rejected claim can be beneficial because a claim that's rejected provides a 2-year period from the date of the injury to file suit.
 2. If a proper response is given, you as the claimant, have just six months to file suit.
You have just six months to file suit, so it's imperative to file within the statute of limitations or lose your right to file. Government agencies and employees often respond to written notices. It's very unlikely that the notice will go unanswered, although it can and does occur.
Limitations and Expectations Under the California Tort Claims Act
CTCA encompasses all civil liability for money and damages. You can follow the Act when you're in a car accident with a government employee or you fall in a government building due to a negligent act that failed to make an essential repair.
Negligence of a government employee must fall within:
 - The scope of employment
 - In the course of a government function
For example, if a government employee was out on the weekend, enjoying a day off and was in a car accident, they cannot be sued as a government employee. A personal injury claim would need to be filed instead.
And if the employee decided to go to the bar when they were in the middle of work, the government agency can argue that the accident was caused by actions not within the scope of the employee's job.
Under the CTCA, you cannot file a claim against the negligent person directly.
So, if you can file a claim against the local government, you cannot target the employee directly in a separate case. This provides protection for employees and ensures that multiple cases for the same circumstance are not filed.
Public entitles are liable for injuries that are a result of the entity's failure to carry out their duty.
In essence, this means that if a public entity is tasked with protecting the public in some way and doesn't carry out their duty, they may face legal action. A fire department is a great example of a public entity that has a duty to the public.
If the fire department failed to respond to a call, the person injured in the fire can seek damages against the fire department.
But there are some exceptions to the law, too, such as:
 - Injuries related to failed or passed legislation
 - Injuries sustained by the National Guard
 - Injuries due to the issuing of a permit, license or order
 - Injuries due to failing to enforce the law
 - Injuries due to misrepresentation
You cannot sue the government for their failure to pass a legislation. You can also not sue the government because they supplied a driver with a license and said driver caused a motor vehicle accident.
The CTCA requires that the government or the employee had to act in some negligent manner to be held responsible under the CTCA.
Filing a Claim
If you plan to file a claim against a county, state or government entity or agency in California, you must provide a written notice with the following information:
 - Name and mailing address of the claimant
 - Mailing address where notices are to be mailed
 - Date of the incident
 - Location of the incident
 - Detailed description of the incident
 - Name of government entity or employees that caused the injury (when possible)
You'll also need to claim losses. If the losses are under $10,000, you must list the claim and note how the figure was calculated. If the claim of losses is more than $10,000, you'll need to determine if the case is a limited civil case, or a case where you're seeking less than $25,000 in damages.
Many municipalities in California offer a free form that will act as a written notice. I recommend searching for and using one of these forms when available. The forms streamline the notice process and ensure that you provide all necessary information to move forward with your claim.
If you or a loved one has been injured and it was not your fault you shouldn't hesitate to contact Hamparyan Injury Lawyers to arrange a free consultation to assess whether you are eligible to file a personal injury claim.

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


I have a question regarding the difference between stock and flow variables.
I know that a stock variable is measured at a specific point in time $t$ and the flow of this variable is measured over time, for example from $t-1$ to $t$.
When economists compute the ratio between a stock and a flow variable in some cases they use the geometric mean for the flow variable and the unchanged stock variable. Let's take an example: A very popular ratio nowadays is "credit-to-gdp". Nearly all studies compute the credit-to-gdp ratio for year $t$ by using the stock variable of credit at $t$ and the geometric mean of gdp from $t-1$ and $t$ (for example Mendoza & Terrones, 2008 or Dell'Ariccia et al., 2012). But why are they doing this? I know the difference between the two concepts but the question for me still remains "so what?".
Consider a counter example: income per capita. Income is obviously a flow variable while the number of people in an economy is a stock variable. But as far as I know nobody is even considering using the geometric mean or something like this.
Is it just a habit, a practical issue (if we have the data we do it if not we don't) or is there really a logical (mathematical) reason behind this approach? So far I was not able to find a convincing answer and I get the feeling that this is just a method to smooth the data a little bit.
 - $\begingroup$ Welcome to the site. It's a good question, but the title doesn't really summarise what you are asking, and could suggest you are just asking what the difference is between a stock and a flow. You might consider editing the title to something like "Why use geometric mean of GDP when calculating ratio of credit to GDP?" $\endgroup$ – Adam Bailey Mar 2 '18 at 9:42
 - $\begingroup$ Thank you for your comment. I edited to title of the Question. $\endgroup$ – PAS Mar 2 '18 at 9:42
 - $\begingroup$ This is the sort of thing that is supposed to be explained in academic papers; however, it would probably be a cryptic one sentence comment. I am not familiar with this literature, but GDP is just a scaling factor. Just using one GDP data point probably results in a noisier series. By averaging GDP, changes in the ratio are driven more by the change in credit, which is what the authors are interested in. $\endgroup$ – Brian Romanchuk Mar 4 '18 at 13:37
 - $\begingroup$ Maybe another justification for the geometric mean - besides the smoothing aspect - could be duo to the danger of measurement errors in gdp. Looking at the literature a little bit more the first paper that is using the gdp-to-credit ratio with geometric mean is this one: researchgate.net/profile/Pierre-Olivier_Gourinchas/publication/… which quotes a paper on financial crises and economic development/deepening as a source for using the geo mean. $\endgroup$ – PAS Mar 5 '18 at 14:11

Why Do Peanut Butter Cookies Have Criss Cross Marks on Them
I have to admit I am not a big baker. This topic is a little beyond my scope of baking knowledge but I will try my best to find the underlying cause of this issue. It has become traditional to put marks with a fork on peanut butter cookies because it has always been done that way. The first cookbook with peanut butter cookies came from Ruth Wakefield's Tollhouse in 1936. What is the thought behind the marks? Well there are a couple of trains of thought on this one. In fact, some of them are somewhat funny. Some think the criss cross is a warning. Others think it has religious undertones either good or evil! Still others think it is to mark the cookies so you know what they are. Remember some people have allergies to nuts. This would be one way to let them know the peanut ingredient within the cookies.
However, this one explanation makes sense. In the early 1930's recipes began to tell cooks to make a criss cross pattern on the cookies. People also refer to them as hatch marks. It did not tell them why? Over the years, cooks have come to their own conclusions. One such conclusion is that it flattens the dough and thus making them crispier. I would tend to agree. Another reasonable explanation is that it flattens the dough so it can bake more evenly. In researching this topic, it seems that flattening the dough actually helps to keep the cookie dough together and uniformed. Otherwise, it may just crumble apart while baking. Could it be that all this guessing and hindsight is for nothing? Perhaps it is just a design for the cookie. Just something to dress it up? Maybe there is no real significance to the forked criss cross pattern after all.
Being a Christian myself, I like the thought that it has a religious meaning. It is thought that the marks are actually a holy image of the cross. This could have been a way to protect the people eating the cookies, which were probably your own family. That is a nice and protecting thought. So there you have the reasons and thoughts behind the criss cross marks made on peanut butter cookies. Which one do you think is true? The next time you have a peanut butter cookie maybe you will figure it out.
4 thoughts on "Why Do Peanut Butter Cookies Have Criss Cross Marks on Them"
 1. I thought it was because Peanut Butter cookies don't spread out in the oven like chocolate chip and other cookies. So, in order to have a flat cookie shape, you have to roll a ball, put it on the cookie sheet, and flatten it with a fork. That's what makes the criss-crosses – the fork flattening. And the crosses are only on Peanut Butter cookies because they are the only cookies that you need to do this for them to bake right. All other cookies, you roll into a ball, place on the sheet, and then let the oven flatten them while they bake. No fork needed. Thus, no criss-crosses.

Evaluation of tourism web sites: A theoretical framework
The paper outlines a theoretical framework for the discussion and identification of indicators measuring the properties of web sites. In this framework we distinguish between the web site as a medium for describing an object, the web site as an object of description and the normative judgement of a web site. The framework is the basis for a project currently carried out and which has as its aim to establish indicators for tourism web sites and use them in an open benchmarking process to enforce the improvement of the set of independent web sites marketing a given tourist destination both individually and as a resource in the collective presentation of the destination. The case studied is the Sognefjord region in Western Norway.

Brooklyn Museum Identifies Maryann's Statue
Remember the statue Sam picked up at Maryann's house in True Blood's season premiere? He remembered it from his encounter with Maryann as a 17-year-old, too. Clearly that statue is significant, but what's the big deal? The Brooklyn Museum has some clues: they have a similar statue in their collection, called "Bird Lady". This statue dates back to around 3500 B.C.E. in Egypt. The symbolism, function, and identity of the figure are not certain; however, similar female figures painted on vessels from the same era appear to be goddesses, because they are always larger than the male "priests" shown with them.
Is this a clue that Maryann is a goddess? Is she 5000 years old? Or is it just another antique she likes to display?

About the Debug URL
When you encounter an issue requiring support, you will be asked to provide a URL to access your solution and instance. The Debug URL will produce a URL that you can send to support that will allow them to access your solution without having to request access.
You can revoke access anytime under My Connections.
There are several ways to access the Debug URL link:
- In the Composer UI under Tools & Settings you will see the Debug URL option.
- A Debug URL link also appears in error messages.
- You can also copy the URL from the address bar of the browser after launching a Composer solution (recommended for Composer Release 7)
When you click, Conga Composer presents a prompt asking for access.
If you allow:
- The system will get a refresh token from Salesforce to allow access. (The Debug URL uses Salesforce OAuth security.)
- There are no time limits to how long support can access the solution for troubleshooting.
- Salesforce session timeout settings will not affect access.
- You do not have to remain logged into Salesforce in order for the URL session to remain accessible.
- You can revoke the access whenever you want via Connections under:
If you deny:
- The URL is generated using the session ID.
- The session will be revoked based on your Salesforce session timeout settings.
- Once you log out of that session the URL will cease to work.
- The URL is not as secure as using the Refresh token.
Generate a Debug URL (Composer Version 8)
In the Composer window, click, and then click.
Composer presents a prompt asking for access.
Click to generate a refresh token from Salesforce to allow access. This allows for troubleshooting without time limits. You can revoke this token after your support session.
Or Click to generate the URL using a session ID. This allows for troubleshooting until the current session expires or you log out.

The URL you copied from the Composer user interface is the debug URL; it should look something like this:


Configure F5 BIG-IP for DirectAccess NLS
Recently I wrote about the Network Location Server (NLS) and its importance for DirectAccess deployments. As I described previously, the NLS is nothing more than a web server with an SSL certificate installed. It should also be made highly available to prevent potential service disruption caused by planned or unplanned NLS server downtime. Any web server can serve as the NLS. In addition, if you have the F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) in your environment, you can easily configure the LTM to serve as the NLS.
To accomplish this, import the SSL certificate for the NLS and create an SSL client profile using its certificate and private key. Next, create a new iRule that contains the following code.
HTTP::respond 200
Configure F5 BGIP for DirectAccess NLS
Finally, create a new virtual server listening on TCP port 443 and assign this iRule as a resource for the virtual server. Once NLS reachability has been verified, update the DirectAccess configuration using the Remote Access Management console or the Set-DANetworkLocationServer PowerShell cmdlet.

Indexing is the process of replacing a unique identifier such as the CHI number, or a combination of identifiers such as name, date of birth and post code with a randomly assigned study ID so that records can still be linked but no explicit "real world" identifiable information about an individual is made public. The process uses probability matching of available personal identifiers to a population spine and returning an anonymised unique person identifier specific to the project. For health data where PHS is the data controller eDRIS can perform the indexing, otherwise indexing services are provided by trusted third party indexing services from National Records Scotland (NRS) Indexing Team or PHS CHI Linkage (CHILi) Team as required.
A useful image illustrating the indexing process can be found at the NRS website here.
Data for your study will be linked using established probability matching techniques based on the Howard Newcombe principles. Linkage will be undertaken by a trusted third party and a Population Spine used as an intermediary linkage tool. The Population Spine contains the personal identifiers of all individuals in Scotland who have been in contact with NHS Scotland. The steps describing the process of linking data are detailed below:
- Data Providers will supply personal identifiers (only) plus their own person or record ID number to the indexing team.
- The indexing team will probability match the identifiers to the Population Spine using complex algorithms.
- The Data Provider will receive a file back with their own person or record ID number and a unique person index ID number specific to that dataset. This is generated by the indexing team.
- The Data Provider will attached the received index ID number to the remaining content of the dataset to be provided for linkage and send to their Research Coordinator.
- The Research Coordinator will confirm that the agreed data has been received and send the file to the linkage agent. The linkage agent is an automated computer programme which carries out the linkage.
- The linkage agent will receive 2 files all the datasets and their unique person ID numbers plus a master control file containing a master person ID and all the dataset unique Person index ID numbers.
- The linkage agent will then replace all the dataset unique Person ID numbers with the master Person ID number on each of the content data files.
- This allows the person analysing the data to see all the records belonging to an individual across all the datasets without the need to see the personal identifiers.


The Flour Mill
The Flour Mill of La Hiruela is located on the banks of the Jarama River, surrounded by Cherry and Elder trees in a wonderful recreational area.
The first historical references of the flour mill date back to the second half of the eighteenth century. Up to 1888 it was communal property, but in that year it was sold to a neighbor of Torrelaguna.
However, in a few years it changed ownership several times until it was finally acquired by 65 Natural partners of La Hiruela representing practically all the families of the municipality. This participation of the neighbors as shareholders of the flour mill restored it's communal identity which it maintained until the end of it's days in active. Throughout the twentieth century the mills of Rodezno fell into disuse and were abandoned but this one remained because of its geographical isolation. During the postwar period most of the mills were sealed as a measure of rationing. However, many continued to grind in the underground, as was the case of the La Hiruela mill.
The end of the activity, in 1975, coincided with the opening of a bakery in the village. In 2001 the La Hiruela Mill was restored with funds from the Madrid and and European Community.
This restoration made it possible to recover the molars and the structure of the building that had collapsed with the passage of time on the vault leaving the original building sunk.

Alaina Mathers, often known as Amanda Scott, is a name that has been surrounded by curiosity and intrigue. As the adopted daughter of the iconic rapper Eminem, her life has been far from ordinary.
Alaina Mathers was born on May 3, 1993, in the United States. She is the daughter of Dawn Scott, the twin sister of Kim Scott, who was Eminem's on-again-off-again wife and the mother of his biological daughter, Hailie Jade. Eminem became a significant figure in Alaina's life when he adopted her in the early 2000s.
Growing up, Alaina faced the challenges and complexities of a blended family. With Eminem's fame reaching unparalleled heights during that period, the spotlight was often on their family, making it difficult for Alaina to lead a normal childhood.
Privacy and Identity
One of the most striking aspects of Alaina Mathers' life is her commitment to maintaining a low profile. Despite her connection to one of the world's most famous musicians, Alaina has consistently shied away from the public eye. This choice reflects her desire for a sense of normalcy and privacy that eluded her during her younger years.
She adopted the pseudonym "Amanda Scott" to distance herself from her famous adoptive father and the intense media scrutiny that came with it. This choice allowed her to live a life largely removed from the public spotlight, pursuing her personal goals and aspirations without the constant intrusion of the paparazzi and media outlets.
Empowerment and Education
Alaina Mathers has demonstrated a strong sense of independence and empowerment. She pursued higher education and graduated with a degree in public relations. Her decision to focus on her education and personal growth underscores her determination to build a life of her own, separate from her adoptive father's shadow.
Additionally, Alaina has been actively involved in charity work. She has supported various causes and organizations, often using her privacy as a means to contribute without drawing unwanted attention.
Reconciliation with Family
Despite the complexities of her family's history, Alaina Mathers has maintained a connection with her biological mother, Dawn Scott. Tragically, Dawn struggled with substance abuse issues, which eventually led to her untimely passing in 2016. Alaina's efforts to support her mother during her battles with addiction and her willingness to reconcile with her mother highlight her compassion and resilience.
Alaina Mathers, also known as Amanda Scott, has carved out a unique path in life. As the adopted daughter of Eminem, she faced the challenges of growing up in the spotlight but made a conscious choice to embrace privacy and empowerment. Her journey to maintain a sense of normalcy and independence is a testament to her strength and determination. In a world obsessed with celebrity culture, Alaina's decision to prioritize her education, charity work, and personal growth is a refreshing reminder that individuals can choose their own paths, even when born into extraordinary circumstances. While Alaina Mathers may forever be linked to Eminem, she has proven that she is more than just a famous last name—she is a symbol of resilience, empowerment, and the pursuit of a life lived on one's own terms.


[lammps-users] Tdamp and T-coupling
Hello everyone,
In fix NVT and NPT command, there is a parameter named Tdamp, which is specified intime units and determines how rapidly the temperature is relaxed. We can read a parameter T-coupling in article, for example, Nosé–Hoover coupling constant is set to 5.
I am confused by the two parameter. What is the difference between them, and the relation of them. Could some kind people give me some suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
Tdamp is the coupling constant - i.e. the "mass" of the thermal

Noncontact imaging photoplethysmography to effectively access pulse rate variability
2016-05-20T08:58:39Z (GMT) by
Noncontact imaging photoplethysmography (PPG) can provide physiological assessment at various anatomical locations with no discomfort to the patient. However, most previous imaging PPG (iPPG) systems have been limited by a low sample frequency, which restricts their use clinically, for instance, in the assessment of pulse rate variability (PRV). In the present study, plethysmographic signals are remotely captured via an iPPG system at a rate of 200 fps. The physiological parameters (i.e., heart and respiration rate and PRV) derived from the iPPG datasets yield statistically comparable results to those acquired using a contact PPG sensor, the gold standard. More importantly, we present evidence that the negative influence of initial low sample frequency could be compensated via interpolation to improve the time domain resolution. We thereby provide further strong support for the low-cost webcam-based iPPG technique and, importantly, open up a new avenue for effective noncontact assessment of multiple physiological parameters, with potential applications in the evaluation of cardiac autonomic activity and remote sensing of vital physiological signs.

text: The transverse dimensions of pulp fibres influence strongly their response to the papermaking process, and most end-use properties of products. However, fibre transverse dimensions are difficult to measure. Confocal microscopy combined with image analysis has been used for rapid and accurate measurement of fibre wall cross-sectional area,perimeter, and thickness. Results on kraft pulp fibres obtained from a variety of wood species are presented. They demonstrate how fibre transverse dimensions are distributed within a species, and can be described analytically. Comparison between different species shows that species with coarse or thick-walled fibres are likely to be more heterogeneous. Implications for pulp quality and fibre selection for end-use requirements are discussed.

text: Future advanced driver assistance systems will contain multiple sensors that are used for several applications, such as highly automated driving on freeways. The problem is that the sensors are usually asynchronous and their data possibly out-of-sequence, making fusion of the sensor data non-trivial. This paper presents a novel approach to track-to-track fusion for automotive applications with asynchronous and out-of-sequence sensors using information matrix fusion. This approach solves the problem of correlation between sensor data due to the common process noise and common track history, which eliminates the need to replace the global track estimate with the fused local estimate at each fusion cycle. The information matrix fusion approach is evaluated in simulation and its performance demonstrated using real sensor data on a test vehicle designed for highly automated driving on freeways.

How Does Baby Feel?
Karen Katz, Author, Karen Katz, Illustrator
Karen Katz. Little Simon, $6.99 (14p) ISBN 978-1-4424-5204-6
Show other formats
Readers can guess the emotions that six rosy-cheeked babies are feeling in various situations in this characteristically well-executed lift-the-flap book from Katz. "Baby wants milk and crackers," Katz writes in the first scene, as an African-American baby in a floral top and diaper reaches for her bottle and a tray of goodies. "How does baby feel?" The answer appears underneath a large flap that lifts vertically and shows the same baby happily chowing down in her high chair. The formula repeats as Katz's babies demonstrate feeling happy, sad, silly, sleepy, and loved. A tidy and effective introduction to familiar emotions. Ages 1–4. (Jan.)

Seen a Dolphin in the Thames? Story behind the lamps on the Thames Embankment
Many capital cities around the world have a river running through them. However, when it comes to the Thames, one thing that makes it so recognisable is the striking Victorian lamps lining the Embankment. The street lighting in question are called the 'Dolphin lamps', but actually appear to be sturgeon fish.
Prior to Victorian times, the Thames was a lot wider in the centre of town, but was slimmed down by the building of the Victoria Embankment on the north side in the late 19th century. Sir Joseph Bazelgette came up with a scheme to reclaim some 22 acres of marshland and built a new road and sewage system for the rapidly expanding capital. While this transformed the city, it also meant many riverside buildings were demolished, such as York House. Building of the Victoria and Chelsea Embankment meant Londoners had somewhere new to stroll beside the river so of course, some attractive new street lighting would be required.
Step forward George John Vulliamy, the Superintending Architect of the Metropolitan Board of Works, who created the unique riverside lamps built into the retaining river wall in 1870. Many different designs were submitted, including one by Bazelgette, however Vulliamy's designs were chosen for the centre of town. The cast-iron lamps featured two sturgeons with their bodies wrapped around the lamp column. Facing the Embankment, the face of Neptune peered out with the year 1870 inscribed underneath him. Vulliamy was said to have been inspired by the dolphin sculptures on the Fontana del Nettuno in Rome's Piazza del Popolo during his extensive travels around Europe. As well as the lamps, Vulliamy also designed the pedestals and sphinxes for Cleopatra's Needle – the ancient Egyptian obelisk gifted to London by Egypt in 1819.
For decades, these lamps only stood on the Victoria Embankment. However, in 1977, city authorities decided to create replicas on the opposite Albert Embankment on the Southbank to commemorate the Queen's Silver Jubilee. Instead of the year underneath Neptune on the Victoria Embankment, 'EIIR' was inscribed to mark Queen Elizabeth II.

Metal puzzles are a fun and challenging way to test your brain. But after hours of working through the same puzzle with no results, you may feel a little stumped! If you're desperate for a solution, a puzzle guide might be your best bet! The P-shaped, horseshoe ring, and double-M puzzle are among the most common metal puzzles—once you've mastered these 3 puzzles, you'll be ready to work through any puzzle design on your own!
Part 1 of 3:
Working Through a P-Shaped Puzzle
 1. 1
 Grab one end of each P-shaped ring with both of your hands. Hold the puzzle as evenly as possible to prevent twisting the puzzle the wrong way while you work. Align the puzzle horizontally before you begin twisting it, with both ends of the P-shaped rings facing outwards.[1]
 - The two Ps should make something resembling a "W" shape before you begin twisting them.
 2. 2
 Turn your left P-shaped ring down. Then, loop the right ring around the upper "P" loop of the left ring. Your two P-shaped rings should look stacked on top of each other and mirroring each other at the loops.[2]
 - The rings should resemble a heart shape at this stage.
 3. 3
 Pull the right ring from the top and through the left loop. As you string the right ring through the left loop, it should slide off once you reach the bottom end. Once the two rings are separated, you have completed the puzzle.[3]
 - Set them down somewhere you won't forget to prevent losing them.
 4. 4
 Slide one ring through the "P" loop of the other ring to reset the puzzle. To prevent losing either ring and to put the puzzle together again, insert one ring through the top loop of the other ring. Pull the first ring all the way through the second ring, then turn the second ring up to secure both in place.
Part 2 of 3:
Beating a Horseshoe Ring Puzzle
 1. 1
 Hold the ring up evenly in front of you. Align the ring as evenly and as tightly as you can. Avoid holding one end of the right higher or lower than the other to prevent the ring from twisting or tangling as you work on it.[4]
 2. 2
 Twist one horseshoe in a counterclockwise direction. Keep the metal ring in-between the two rings. Continue twisting it until the ring is tight between the two rings and you cannot twist the horseshoe any further.[5]
 3. 3
 Bend and align the two horseshoes. Push the two horseshoes together into the middle of the chain until it bends in half. Line up the horseshoes as evenly as possible, allowing the ring to fall to the bottom of the horseshoes.[6]
 4. 4
 Slide the ring up and off of the horseshoe. Grab hold of the metal ring and lift it up through 1 side of the horseshoes. If the horseshoes are aligned, the ring should come off without forcing it. Check the horseshoe alignment if your ring appears stuck or you cannot locate an opening at the top of the horseshoes.[7]
 5. 5
 Re-align the horseshoes to put the puzzle back together. When you're ready to put the puzzle together again, twist and bend the chain in half to align the horseshoes back together. Drop the ring through one end of the horseshoes, then fold the horseshoes back up and twist 1 horseshoe in the opposite direction to secure the ring.
Part 3 of 3:
Solving a Double M Puzzle
 1. 1
 Lift one double M ring above the other ring. Both double M rings have a large curve around the top of the ring. Position your rings so that 1 ring is facing with their curve up and the other is facing downward in the opposite direction.[8]
 - Because the pieces are identical, they should look like a reflection of each other.
 2. 2
 Turn the rings at a 90-degree angle. Lift the bottom ring up through the top ring's side, then tilt them sideways at a 90-degree angle. The two ring curves should still be facing in opposite directions.[9]
 3. 3
 Slide the bottom piece up through the top piece's curve. Keep the rings even and at the 90-degree angle to prevent twisting or complicating your puzzle. When you have reached the top, make the bottom ring aligned with the middle of the top ring's curve.[10]
 4. 4
 Lower the bottom ring through the middle of the top ring's "M." Turn both rings upright again and slide the bottom ring down through the top ring's "M." If you have aligned the rings correctly, it should go through the middle without twisting or catching.[11]
 5. 5
 Insert one ring through the other ring's "M" to put the puzzle together again. To attach the two rings together again, raise one ring through the middle of the other ring's "M." Then, twist the rings at a 90-degree angle and slide it over the top curve and to the bottom of the ring. This will secure the rings together for storage.

 To solve a P-shaped metal puzzle, start by grabbing 1 end of each P-shaped ring with both of your hands. Hold the puzzle evenly, making sure it doesn't twist. Once you have the rings steady, turn your left ring down so your rings look stacked on top of each other and resemble a heart shape. Next, pull the right ring from the top through the left loop. Once the 2 rings are separated, you have completed the puzzle. If you want to reset it, slide 1 ring through the P loop of the other ring. To learn how to beat a horseshoe ring puzzle, keep reading!

System Administration Guide: Security Services
ProcedureHow to Add an Audit Class
When you create your own audit class, you can place into it just those audit events that you want to audit for your site. When you add the class on one system, you should copy the change to all systems that are being audited.
 1. Assume the Primary Administrator role, or become superuser.
 2. (Optional) Save a backup copy of the audit_class file.
 # cp /etc/security/audit_class /etc/security/audit_class.orig
 3. Add new entries to the audit_class file.
 Each entry has the following format:
 Identifies number as hexadecimal.
 Defines the unique audit class mask.
 Defines the letter name of the audit class.
 Defines the descriptive name of the audit class.
 The entry must be unique in the file. Do not use existing audit class masks.
Example 30–10 Creating a New Audit Class
This example creates a class to hold a small set of audit events. The added entry to the audit_class file is as follows:
0x10000000:pf:profile command
The entry creates a new audit class that is called pf. Example 30–11 populates the new audit class.
If you have customized the audit_class file, make sure that any modifications to audit_user are consistent with the new audit classes. Errors occur when the audit classes in audit_user are not a subset of the audit_class database.

What is the significance of the veil in the Harry Potter series? What does it mean? Why is it never explained?
When asked, JK Rowling responded saying: It's been there as long as the Ministry itself.
As stated on the Veil page on the Harry Potter Wikia:
The veil is located deep within the Department of Mysteries, which contains many of mysteries of the wizarding world. I believe the significance of it is greater than the mystery it represents. As J.K. Rowling has said, "It's been there as long as the Ministry itself."
This artifact presents something historically significant, although it is impossible to say how. In the fifth movie and book, it is significant because Bellatrix shot a spell at Sirius and sent him through the veil, never to be seen again. In the movie, he was dead before he entered the veil, having taken an Avada Kedavra curse. In the book, the spell Bellatrix used may not have been the Killing Curse and so the veil may have been Sirius' cause of death, rather than a method of body disposal.


Malic acid
Malic acid
is a white, crystal powder with sour taste, that was found 1785 in apple juice. It is a chemical compound that occurs as left-turning L-malic acid and right-turning D-malic acid. In nature the L-malic acid occurs in unripe fruits to prevent to be eaten. During ripening malic acid is degraded. It is obtained by a chemical process from fumaric acid or maleic acid and is a mixture of D- and L-malic acid. The malic acid is soluble in water and in ethanol. The product results as an intermediate of the energy metabolism of every living cell. For humans it is one kg a day. The esters and salts are called malates.

Part of a fountain pen that fills using a sack mechanism. The pressure bar is a flat piece of metal (usually brass) that sits between the sack and the barrel of the pen. It is manipulated from an input on the outside of the pen (typically a button at the end of the barrel, or a lever on the side of the pen).
This manipulation either moves or bows the pressure bar, which, in turn, compresses the sack. Everything in the sack is expelled, including ink and air (be careful where you point that thing!). Once the pressure on the bar is removed, the sack is allowed to expand. A vacumm is created, drawing in whatever the surrounds the nib (again, ink, air, or water).
As mentioned buttons and levers are the most common methods of manipulating a pressure bar.

Is a bagel high in carbs?
If there is a downside to bagels, it's that the average deli bagel can have up to 350 calories and 50 to 60 grams of carbohydrates—equal in carbohydrates to three or four slices of bread. Without fiber, the carbohydrates in a bagel digest quickly, convert to sugar, and then, very possibly, to fat.
Can you eat bagels on a low carb diet?
Depending on your personal carb tolerance, eating a sandwich, burrito, or bagel could put you near or over your daily limit. If you still want to enjoy bread, make your own low-carb loaves at home. Most grains, including rice, wheat, and oats, are also high in carbs and need to be limited or avoided on a low-carb diet.
Can I eat a bagel on a diet?
Most bagels lack vitamins, minerals and fiber. Without fiber, the carbohydrates in a bagel digest quickly, convert to sugar and then, very possibly, to fat. Dieters are better off eating a 100-percent whole grain English muffin or a slice of whole wheat bread that contains at least 5g of fiber per serving.
Are bagels healthier than bread?
In terms of carbs and calories, there are about 3.15 slices of bread in the average plain bagel (a bagel contains 245 calories, a slice of bread has 79 calories). Okay, so yes, bagels are more dense, caloric and potentially less healthy than a piece of bread, but would you stake your happiness on that?

The atmospheric-pressure plasma jets (APPJs) are nonthermal plasma sources studied for their high potential in many medical applications where conventional solutions failed. In this paper, we show the influence of helium APPJ on pepsin structure and function. The APPJ source is characterized using voltage-current measurements, optical emission spectroscopy, and high-speed imaging. Pepsin powder was exposed to the action of the plasma jet, and then, spectroscopic investigations were carried out to obtain information on the structural modifications. Protein function was tested using an enzymatic assay.

I have a video file of 5 FPS / 8000Hz that I want to speed up 6 times. I want the pitch and playback to increase - can I do this by simply adjusting the file header?
I can't seem to figure out the right parameters to do this with ffmpeg since it actually creates new frames in order to stay at the same speed. I read some similar topics on this website, but can't seem to find anything simple to do with both sound and image.
Is there a way to do this with a command-line tool or can someone explain how to alter this in code?

Congratulations to Environment Institute's Associate Professor Alec Zuo, who was awarded an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellowship for his project 'Quantifying the economic and social impacts of drought in rural Australia' in the recently announced round.
Project Title: Quantifying the economic and social impacts of drought in rural Australia
Funding awarded: $1,035,279
Project: Climate-change research predicts drought is likely to increase its frequency, duration and severity, drastically challenging Australian agriculture and rural societies. The aim of this project is to use innovative techniques to analyse:
- (i) national datasets to determine the economic and social impacts of droughts in rural and regional Australia; and
- (ii) the results of a national survey to estimate and understand farmers' drought adaptation responses to carbon-credit market signals.
The outcomes are expected to be a major step in developing and implementing cost-effective drought policies and services to minimise its complex impacts, strengthen rural and regional community resilience, and enhance sustainable agriculture in Australia.

Thixotropic Index (TI)
Definition - What does Thixotropic Index (TI) mean?
This is a ratio between the slow speed viscosity to the high speed viscosity of a non-Newtonian body. It is obtained from dividing the viscosity number at low speed by the viscosity number at high speed of a given fluid. It therefore defines how well the fluid will hang or resist sagging under gravity.
It is used to indicate the ability of a paint or coating to hold shape-stiff and non-sagging when rebuilding; aids in choosing an epoxy in accordance to the application, dispense method and viscosity of a material.
Corrosionpedia explains Thixotropic Index (TI)
Non-Newtonian fluids are known to have a low viscosity when stirred at high speed and high viscosity at low speeds. In these fluids, the energy required to move then is not directly equal to the speed applied. At rest, the fluid will not flow, but when subjected to shear or pressure, it flows easily as the agitation increase. A fluid is thixotropic when the apparent viscosity is recovered when the shearing is removed; the recovery is time-dependent—viscosity decreases gradually with time.
The thixotropic index is obtained by measuring the viscosity of a fluid at room or ambient temperature. The viscometer is used to measure the viscosity at two speeds (one is a multiple or a factor of 10 of the other). From the viscosity results, the product is obtained by dividing the viscosity at lowest speed by the viscosity at the highest speed.

Why Does My Dog Like To Be The Little Spoon? + Dog Cuddling Position
Why Does My Dog Like To Be The Little Spoon
Featured Image. Reddit
As a proud dog owner, you'll know that one of the simple pleasures of life is getting to cuddle up with your beloved furry friend and take a nice long nap.
Dogs taking a nap is one of the most adorable things to witness although, it's quite common for you to notice your dog bundled up in a strange sleeping or cuddling position.
A very common cuddling position that your dog might choose is being the little spoon.
For most dog owners, this is quite a troubling cuddle position because they fear it might be an indication of an ailing dog.
But that's not true
Then what does it mean when your dog chooses to be the little spoon?
What Is The Little Spoon Means For Your Dog?
dog and baby sleeping
Image. Reddit
If you've ever been lying down on your bed and your dog lies down next to you to be the little spoon, you've probably thought there might be a problem.
Some dog owners have considered this to be extremely weird with theories of their dog being Ill or on heat.
This as we've already mentioned, is not true.
Humans like to cuddle up to people they feel comfortable and safe around because it makes them feel loved.
Your dog isn't so different.
If your dog enjoys being the little spoon, then you should feel honored because it's one of their ultimate ways of bonding.
When your dog does this, it means he trusts you and wants to be close to you.
Simply put, it's a way for them to be affectionate with either you or other pets.
Dog Cuddling/Sleeping Position And What They Mean
dog likes to be the little spoon
Image. Reddit
Spooning might be a cute albeit strange way that your dog might want to cuddle in, it certainly is not the only cuddling position or sleeping position out there.
There are several cuddling positions that you might have witnessed your dog scooching in to try with you.
Either another family member, a pet, or their favorite stuffed toy.
1. The side sleeper
This fun cuddle position can go in two ways.
It's either your dog takes the dominant position that is being the big spoon or they become the little spoon and you take the dominant position.
This is a good way to cozy up with your dog regardless of what position you're in.
It's super comfortable for your dog and both of you can drift off to sleep feeling protected and loved.
2. Donut position
Although the curled dog or donut position isn't exactly a cuddling position, much like the little spoon, you can use your body to form a protective layer over your dog.
The donut is so-called because your dog curls up into a ball with their legs kept very close and their nose sometimes touching their hind legs.
And in so doing, they sort of resemble a furry donut.
When they do this it's often as a way to make themselves feel safe and warm.
If you and your dog have already bonded and have a trusting relationship, you can drape an arm over them to make them feel even safer.
3. The blanket hog
In this position, your dog will burrow under the blankets to try and be close to you.
They may then proceed to lie down next to you in a face-to-face position or they'll be the little spoon or the big spoon.
Your dog may try to be a blanket hog to either get closer to you or because they want an extra layer of protection to feel safe.
4. Belly up position
Who hasn't seen those cute YouTube videos where the dog is sleeping with their tummies in the air chasing a dream rabbit?
If your dog is in this position, it means they feel safe and are at ease with their environment.
Apart from being super adorable, this sleeping position can also be beneficial to their health.
With their feet in the air, they can cool off and relax their limbs after a long day.

5. The shield
Who better to protect you than your trusted canine?
The shield is when your dog lies on top of your body and acts as sort of a barrier between you and the environment.
This might seem suffocating at first but they mean well.
It's their way of protecting their best friends and shielding them from any threats.
6. Back to back
Dogs sleep in this position in a similar way they might want to be in the spooning position, to get as close to you as they can.
To your dog just getting to fall asleep next to you is a delight in its own right.
By sleeping back to back with you, they're showing you love and offering you their human the ultimate protection.
7. Headlock
Remember how you used to put your favorite stuffed animal in a headlock as a kid, well it's similar but with less of a chokehold.
Ensure that you're gentle when holding your dog in this position to avoid hurting them.
This is a great cuddling position to show them love and affection plus it can be relaxing for you too.
8. The cradle
Dogs are pretty much big furry babies.
And you can treat them like so in the cradle position.
Maybe when you're taking a nap on the lounge you can hold them in your arms and drift off to sleep.
The cradle position is usually done with smaller dogs but that doesn't mean bigger dogs can't be part of the fun.
Just make sure the surface you're cuddling up on is strong enough and big enough for both of you.
Cuddling has numerous health benefits for both you and your pet.
It can lower stress levels and anxiety not to talk of all the endorphins that get released in the process.
Regularly cuddling your dog can make them feel safe and loved plus it's a bonding experience for both of you.
So get a blanket and bundle up with your canine friend today and let the bonding commence.

According to folklore, you can predict the weather with a persimmon seed. Here's how to do it:
Cut open a persimmon seed. (Find persimmon fruit in your supermarket. It should be locally-grown to reflect your weather.)
Look at the shape of the kernel inside.
- If the kernel is spoon-shaped, lots of heavy, wet snow will fall. Spoon = shovel!
- If it is fork-shaped, you can expect powdery, light snow and a mild winter.
- If the kernel is knife-shaped, expect to be "cut" by icy, cutting winds.
It's best to use ripe seeds.
That's it! Now, what did you see?
