Cast Iron Cistern Cover
Description: This is a metal cover for a cistern, or a large container (usually behind a house) used for storing and catching rainwater for use by people. It was made by the Sioux City Foundry and Boiler Company, one of the many different foundries that started here in Sioux City. Foundries are factories that produce metal castings. Liquid metal is poured into a mold and then cooled and removed from the mold, creating a cast. Cast metal, most commonly aluminum and iron, can be used to make metal items of many shapes and sizes, such as this circular cistern cover. Sioux City was a hotspot for foundries, even though the surrounding region contained very little iron and metal ores. Ore had to be imported from elsewhere, but cast metal was in such high demand in the industrial world many cities in the Midwest had foundries. Sioux City foundries were successful due to the city's shipping industry, which allowed for the transport of manufactured metal all across the U. S.
Sioux City Foundry and Boiler was originally Sioux City Foundry and Machine Works, started in 1871. In this time the company manufactured steam engines, machinery, pipes, fittings, and bolts in brass and iron. The company was also successful in producing machinery for steamboats and mills, as well as boiler works. Sales soared and the company expanded to a new warehouse in Leeds and changed its name: Sioux City Engine Works. Their new name shows their primary purpose: the manufacture of steam engines and their parts. They also produced a revolutionary furnace known as the Norfolk furnace, which was immensely popular. Sioux City Foundry and Boiler Company became the foundry's name in 1922, and this name lasted until 1963 when it was renamed simply Sioux City Foundry Company. The company still exists today in two plants: one for fabrication (working metal by cutting, bending, and welding) on Division Street and the true casting foundry in South Sioux City.

Union councils of Pakistan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A sherwan or union council in Pakistan is an elected local government body consisting of 21 councillors, and headed by a nazim now called Chairman (which is equivalent to a mayor) and a naib nazim now called Vice Chairman (deputy). Union councils are the fifth tier of government in Pakistan and are often known as Village Councils in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. A village council usually comprises a large village and surrounding areas, often including nearby small villages. The term Union or Village Council may be used for localities that are part of cities.
Headed by a union nazim, each union council has 13 elected members or councillors. In addition to four male and two female members elected directly, there are two male and two female representatives of the labour, a minority member, a union nazim and his deputy known as union naib nazim. Beside elected members, there are several government employees and functionaries in every union council, who report to the secretary of the union council. The latter is a civil servant appointed by the state.
The territory of a union council or village council is usually part of a tehsil (a district subdivision). Less commonly, a union council may be part of a city district.[1]


Corpse Party: Book of Shadows PSP Review
Book of Shadows is a sequel to the original game – somewhat at least. It features the cast from the original Corpse Party, even the ones that technically should not be here, and builds up an alternative take on the events while also supplying a much deeper back story for key characters, making this feel like a companion game for Corpse Party rather than true sequel. Due to this, it is highly advised that you play the first game, because you will not understand some parts of the plot, events, characters and the déjà vu experiences that players will go through from having played Corpse Party, in turn, hampering the experience in the process. For people who never played the predecessor, Book of Shadows features a group of school children who manage to accidentally traverse to an alternative dimension, where the children's school is transformed into Heavenly Host Elementary School, a place in history where ghastly murders of innocent kids took place. The ghosts of the deceased are left to haunt the halls of the school, and with the living students scattered around, they must find each other and work together to figure a way out back to their dimension.
One of the biggest changes is how the game now plays. The last Corpse Party featured a top down view very reminiscent of 16bit Japanese RPGs or The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. That style of play gave the player a feeling of discovery and adventure, as you could control the protagonist and explore the haunted school (although that did come with some of those awful ghost chases). Now, the game plays more similar to visual novel titles, such as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney or 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, where the graphics are 2D artwork with character portraits presented while that character is speaking, simulating a first-person perspective for the player's viewpoint.
Movement is more streamlined, as you now pick where you want to go by clicking on the room on a small map that you can bring up on the screen. The game will automatically walk you to that area, but stop your progress if you come across a room that features plot points as you travel to your destination. This does help keep the focus on the story, but because this game feeds you a large amount of backstory, the pacing is a little off and not as well produced as the first game. Moving through the game's eight chapters has you jumping around characters and their origins; for someone who has never played the previous title, this will seem extremely confusing and disjointed. For people who have played it, some of the scenes seem to be there just to act as fillers. Sure, finding out backstories for characters is nice, but they could have been done at a much faster pace rather than spending too long on discovering how one of the teachers had an experience with the supernatural when she was back in school.
As a game, there aren't really many "gamey" parts to the title. You click around to find objects in locations and move to different rooms. Most of the time is spent reading and occasionally picking dialogue options. Book of Shadows has multiple "wrong ends," where the player gets a depraved ending to the game, usually resulting in some sort of messed up death. The idea is to make your way through the game to the real ending, but not to look at the "wrong ends" as a bad device – they add to the game and are used to acquaint you with details of the story, so getting strangled by a deadly ghost shouldn't be viewed as a negative. Yeah, I know, it is strange. In regards to getting endings, Book of Shadows does make it easier to revisit areas than Corpse Party, just because you can save anywhere and are not required to play from certain save points.
One problem with this new gameplay direction is that areas which are not of key interest look similar to one another. You will be seeing a lot of dark, wooden corridors repeat over and over again. Also, the darkening metre, which you can see when you access the game's menu, is never explained, and it was not till I searched on the internet that I found out exactly what it did – it goes up when you look at dead bodies and other horrors and it affects some of the pathways towards the wrong ends.
Judging Book of Shadows is hard. As a standalone game for newcomers to the franchise, the story will leave you baffled compared to someone who would have experienced Corpse Party, and in that regard, looking at its way of storytelling comes off as a disjointed tale of horror that can give you a gloomy (in the right way) and uneasy time. However, I see it this way – go play the first Corpse Party and see how you feel about it. If you want more, then jump into Book of Shadows and enjoy it for what it is. Whatever you do though, do not start with this one as you'll be left with a unfavorable impression towards what is not a bad attempt at a "fill in the details" follow up to Corpse Party. I just wish it was a true sequel instead.

I was working with symplectic submanifolds when I posed the following question:
Suppose I have a Hamiltonian system with the phase space $\mathcal{M}$, a symplectic manifold with the standard symplectic form. Now assume that the Hamiltonian system has two first integrals $C_1,C_2$. Define the restricted phase space $\mathcal{N}$ of $\mathcal{M}$ by taking $C_1$=constant,$C_2$=constant. What kind of conditions does $C_1$ and $C_2$ need to satisfy such that $\mathcal{N}$ is a symplectic submanifold?
Any help is welcome.

I am posting here the answer that I gave to the same question when it was posted yesterday on MSE.
Let $f_1$ and $f_2$ be independent functions on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega).$
Let us denote by $\Sigma$ the submanifold $f_1^{-1}(0)\cap f_2^{-1}(0)$ of codimension $2$ in $M$.
The tangent bundle of $\Sigma$ is $$T \Sigma= (\ker df_1\cap \ker df_2) |_\Sigma=(\text{span}\{X_{f_1},X_{f_2}\})^\perp|_\Sigma.\tag{1}$$
So in the symplectic vector bundle $(T_{\Sigma} M,\omega |_\Sigma)$ the vector sub-bundle $T\Sigma$ has orthogonal complement $$(T\Sigma)^\perp=\operatorname{span}\{X_{f_1},X_{f_2}\}|_\Sigma.\tag{2}$$
By definition, $\Sigma$ is symplectic in $(M,\omega)$ if and only $T\Sigma\cap(T\Sigma)^\perp=0 (\leftarrow\text{the zero section of }\Sigma).$
By (1) and (2), this means : in any point of $\Sigma$ the linear system $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}0=\langle df_1,c_1X_{f_1}+c_2X_{f_2}\rangle=\{f_1,f_2\}c_2, \\0=\langle df_2,c_1X_{f_1}+c_2X_{f_2}\rangle=-\{f_1,f_2\}c_1\end{array}\right.$$ has only the trivial solution $c_1=c_2=0.$
Therefore $\Sigma$ is symplectic iff $\{f_1,f_2\}$ has no zeroes on $\Sigma.$

I believe the conditions are that the poisson bracket of $C_1 $ and $ C_2$ is $\ne 0$ and the differentials $dC_1$ and $dC_2$ are linearly independent at all points of $\mathcal{N}$. The second condition implies that N is a submanifold. If the first condition is not fulfilled, $N$ is clearly not a sympletic submanifold because we could take the first two coordinates in the Darboux theorem to be $C_1,C_2$. If the first condition is fulfilled, we take the coordinate system such that the first two coordinates are $C_1, C_2$. In this coordinates the matrix of the symplectic form is blockdiagonal with the first $2\times 2$ block being nondegenerate matrix and all other elements such that the index contains ''2'' equal to $0$. Then, the second block is nondegenerate and it is more or less the same as the matrix of the restriction of the form to $\mathcal{N}$

Dear Vladimir S Matveev I have a silly doubt about your third paragraph. Let be $p\in\mathcal{N},$ in order to find coordinates $x_1,\ldot,x_n,y_1,\ldots,y_n$ around $p$ in $\mathcal{M}$ with $\omega=dx_i\wedge dy_i$ and such that $x_1=C_1,x_2=C_2$ we need that $\{C_1,C_2\}$ vanishes not only at $p,$ but in a neighborhood of $p$ in $\mathcal{M}.$ At least this is my comprehension of the the Caratheodory-Jacobi-Lie theorem. I would highly appreciate if could explain to me what I am missing. Thank you. – Giuseppe Tortorella May 8 '12 at 15:44
Dear Guiseppe, you are right. To construct the Darboux coordinates we indeed need that the bracket of $C_1$ and $C_2$ vanish in a small neighborhood. Would the bracket of $C_1$ and $C_2$ vanish at the points of $\mathcal{N}$ only, one can find Poisson-commute functions $\tilde C_1$ and $\tilde C_2$ whose differentials at the point we consider coincides with that of $C_1$ and $C_2$, and construct Darboux coordinates starting from $\tilde C_1$ and $\tilde C_2$, which would be sufficient. – Vladimir S Matveev May 8 '12 at 16:49
But in your third paragraph, we need to consider even eventual isolated zeroes for $\{C_1,C_2\}=\Lambda(dC_1,dC_2).$ E.g. points $p\in\mathcal{N}$ such that $\{C_1,C_2\}(p)=0$ but $\{C_1,C_2\}(q)\neq 0,\ \forall q\in\mathcal{N}\setminus\{p\},$ And in such a case the same holds for $\{\overline{C}_1,\overline{C}_2\}$ independent from the choice of $\overline{C}_1,\overline{C}_2$). I hope to have clearly expressed my doubt, what I am missing? – Giuseppe Tortorella May 8 '12 at 17:13
Guiseppe, I do not know what to tell you. You have asked whether you are missing something -- no, you are missing nothing and your explanation is more precise than mine one.One can make mine explanation also mathematically precise (because your can build darboux coordinate system such that the differential of the first two coordinates coincide with $dC_1$ and $dC_2$ provided the poisson bracket of $C_1$ and $C_2$ is zero at a point.) This observation will be enough to justify my answer, and you do more or less the same in your answer. – Vladimir S Matveev May 10 '12 at 15:40

The question whether something is a separable space presupposes that a topology is given on that something. Did you have a particular topology on $\mathbb A$ in mind? – Andreas Blass Dec 6 '12 at 2:09

The cardinality of $\Bbb R$ is $2^\omega$ (or if you prefer, $2^{\aleph_0}$), so $\Bbb R$ has $\left(2^\omega\right)^\omega=2^{\omega\cdot\omega}=2^\omega$ countable subsets. Thus, the cardinality of $\Bbb A$ is at most $2^\omega$, since not all countable subsets of $\Bbb R$ are dense in $\Bbb R$. However, it turns out that even though not all of these $2^\omega$ countable subsets are dense, there are $2^\omega$ of them that are dense. Here's one way to show this.
For $x,y\in\Bbb R$ write $x\sim y$ if and only if $x-y\in\Bbb Q$.
 1. Prove that $\sim$ is an equivalence relation on $\Bbb R$.
 2. Prove that for each $x\in\Bbb R$ the $\sim$-equivalence class of $x$ is $x+\Bbb Q=\{x+q:q\in\Bbb Q\}$ and is therefore countable.
 3. Conclude that $\sim$ has $2^\omega$ equivalence classes.
 4. Show that each $\sim$-equivalence class is dense in $\Bbb R$.
The set $\Bbb A$ isn't a space at all until you give it some topology: it's just a collection of subsets of $\Bbb R$.

Mr Brian M. Scott, Thank You! – 17SI.34SA Dec 6 '12 at 2:15
Here is a slightly more fun way to do this:
First note that there are at most $\mathbb R^\mathbb N$ countable sets of real numbers, calculate the cardinality and see that this means that there cannot be more than $2^{\aleph_0}$ countable sets of real numbers.
Secondly note that $P=\mathbb{Q\setminus N}$ is dense in $\mathbb R$. Now for every $A\subseteq\mathbb N$ we have that $P\cup A$ is dense and countable. It is easy to see that if $A\neq B$ then $P\cup A\neq P\cup B$. Therefore we actually found $2^{\aleph_0}$ dense sets of real numbers which are subsets of $\mathbb Q$.
This shows that there cannot be more than $2^{\aleph_0}$ countable dense sets. As remarked by others, separability is a topological property and it is unclear what topology you are giving this collection.
share|cite|improve this answer
$\mathbb{Q}$ is countable. So $\mathbb{R}\setminus \mathbb{Q}$ is uncountable. For each irrational $x$, the set $\mathbb{Q} \cup \{x\}$ is also dense in $\mathbb{R}$. Hence there are an uncountable number of dense subsets of $\mathbb{R}$.

What is the cardinality of the set in question? Just saying the set is uncountable does not suffice here. – David Mitra Dec 6 '12 at 2:26

A great book covering landscape photography processes, thinking and creativity
Working the Light
A Landscape Photography Masterclass
By Joe Cornish, Charlie Waite, David Ward and Eddie Ephraums
ISBN: 1 902538 46 3
Another unusual book from Argentum, this one focuses in a broad way on landscape photography. The four authors take a section of the book each:
* Foreword – Eddie Ephraums
* Wilderness landscapes – Joe Cornish
* Inhabited landscapes – Charlie Waite
* Inner landscapes – David Ward
In each of these, apart from the foreword, the author begins by describing their own working method, motivations and current projects. Following each author's statement section comes a Gallery Workshop where generally great quality submitted images are displayed along with great pieces of advice, displayed as tips by each image. A critique section then follows each Gallery Workshop. Here each of the submitted images that have been used is analyzed and critiqued by the authors.
This format works very well. It does have the feeling of attending a workshop, something the authors intended. It is appropriate that not all the images pass muster completely in the Critique section, as you can learn a great deal from people's mistakes and the authors thankfully do not pass up this opportunity. However, all of the images are quite striking, even if some work better than others.
You will learn much about landscape photography in particular, and photography in general, from this book. The sections on the authors' own work is insightful. The tips along with the submitted images teach much and then this is vastly expanded by the image critiques. These can teach you much if you carefully consider each image yourself before reading the authors' comments.
This is a great book. If you have any interest in landscape photography, buy this book.


Garage door repair bowling greenGarage door repair bowling green
Are garage door sensors supposed to be green?
Garage door sensors work using an infrared beam of light. Each sensor will usually have a light. One will have a green light, used to show that the units are powered up, and the other will have a red light to show that there's no obstruction between the sensors and that they're 'seeing' each other.
How much should a garage door repair cost?
Should I repair or replace my garage door?
Your door may have chipped or fading paint, or a large crack may have appeared. If the damage to your door us purely cosmetic, you'll usually get more value out of repairing the door rather than replacing it. If your garage door has structural damage, you'll likely want to look into having the door replaced.
How do you fix a misaligned garage door?
Fixing a Misaligned Garage Door To fix a binding door, begin by loosening the screws that secure the track to the garage door frame. Then, use a rubber mallet to reposition the track to its proper placement. Use a level to ensure the track is straight, then refasten the screws.
Why is my garage door sensor blinking green?
Blinking green sensors generally mean that the door has detected a fault or a safety issue, so it's a way of letting a homeowner know there's a problem. Otherwise, the light is generally on steady green, instead. Often when there's a blinking green light, the door also won't operate with the remote.

How do you know if your garage door sensors are bad?
Light indicators: An easy way to tell if your garage door sensors are out of alignment is by checking if the exterior LED light blinks when you attempt to close the door. Green lights mean the sensors are working, while red lights indicate the sensors are not aligned.
Does homeowners insurance cover garage door repairs?
Why does my garage door go back up after it closes?
Your Travel Down Setting Needs to be Adjusted Your garage door is programmed to travel a certain distance before it closes. If it closes before that distance has been traveled, it thinks something is wrong — and it reopens to help prevent any damage or safety risk.
What is included in a garage door tune up?
The Sears Garage Door Tune Up includes: A diagnostic inspection focusing on the door sections, track, counterbalance system, hinges, rollers, and weather seals. Inspect and tighten all bolts and screws. Rebalance door when necessary. Examine and adjust garage door travel and safety settings where needed.
How many years does a garage door last?
Estimates on longevity are based around usage, but most experts believe the average garage door should last between 15 – 30 years, depending on construction quality, maintenance and local climate conditions. Automatic garage door openers normally provide 10 – 15 years of reliable service.

Can you install a new garage door on old tracks?
Can I replace my garage door myself?
While most full-service garage door retailers offer complete garage door installation services — including delivering the new garage door, disassembling and disposing of the old door, and installation of the new garage door — if you're an adept and skilled handyman and want to save a bit of extra money, you can install
How much does it cost to balance a garage door?
Repair almost always means replacement, but you might only need to balance the door and lubricate the springs, which only costs $50 to $100. Materials alone (springs, brackets and hardware) run $30 to $200 for a set of two springs with labor running $75 to $150.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN -Taiwanese researchers Hui-Mei Chen, Hung-Ming Tu, and Chaang-Iuan Ho published a study in HortScience that explored an array of attitudes toward horticultural activities. The results showed that people engage in gardening and related activities for both psychological and environmental reasons.
The researchers used qualitative and quantitative methods to explore participants' attitudes toward horticultural activities. In the first study, seven themes and several subthemes of attitudes were induced from open-ended interviews with participants. Based on interview results, a questionnaire was designed and a quantitative survey was conducted to identify the dimensions of attitudes toward horticultural activities. The researchers extracted five critical "dimensions of attitudes" toward horticultural activities: increasing positive mood, improving the environment, leisure belief, improving social relationships, and an attitude the researchers label 'escaping'.Respondents rated the dimension of 'increasing positive mood' highest, indicating an emphasis on psychological benefits such as feeling glad, pleased, optimistic, relaxed, tranquil, and comfortable as the essence of their attitudes toward horticultural activities. The researchers also found that that engaging in horticultural activities can provide people opportunities to forget worries, transfer attention, or experience another way of life, or 'escape'. That the respondents rated the dimension of 'escaping' so high emphasizes the importance of the restorative benefits of contact with nature, observed the scientists.
Participants also rated 'improving the environment' as a critical dimension of their attitudes toward horticultural activities. This is a notable change from the well-known Leisure Attitude Scale (LAS), a 1982 model widely used by researchers in the leisure field; the LAS does not include 'improving the environment'.
"To further promote horticultural activity as a form of leisure, it is crucial to first ascertain participants' attitudes about it. Our research shows that horticultural activities are beneficial not only for individuals, but also for the environment", the researchers wrote.

The best way to predict poverty is by combining satellite images with machine learning
earth nightlights
Coming out of the dark.
 - Ananya Bhattacharya
By Ananya Bhattacharya
Tech reporter
Published This article is more than 2 years old.
The first step to eliminating poverty is identifying the regions most by plagued it.
In 2015, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals set forth 17 global missions. One of the most ambitious is to eliminate poverty by 2030. But, currently, on-the-ground economic measures are sparse and sometimes unreliable in poorer countries, which lack resources to collect accurate data. Much of the data from Sub-Saharan African countries is not well-documented, edited, or released to the public domain, according to the World Bank.
"How are we going to know if we've eliminated poverty if we don't collect data?" says Marshall Burke, an assistant professor in Stanford University's Department of Earth System Science. "It's like setting a weight loss goal but not having a scale to know if you've made any progress."
One solution might be to take a satellite's-eye-view of the planet. Looking down from outer space, places on earth that appear brighter at night tend to be the most developed. In impoverished areas, luminosity levels are lower. The World Bank has previously used "night lights" from nighttime maps to measure regional inequality income inequality in Africa. Using it as a proxy for economic well being, Burke and a team of researchers have developed an algorithm that's better at predicting poverty than all existing methods. They wrote up their work in a study published in the journal Science today (Aug. 19).
To create the model, researchers fed three inputs into a computer: nighttime luminosity data, daytime high-resolution imagery, and actual survey data about measuring two factors: consumption expenditure, which measures household spending, and asset wealth, which includes cars, TVs and other goods owned. The researchers chose five countries from the continent—Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, and Rwanda—which had recently collected high-quality household data.
A two-step process called "transfer learning" is used to train the algorithm: First, data on night light and daytime images are combined. The computer starts mapping things like roads, urban areas, waterways and farmland. Then, the model looks for correlations. For instance, areas with houses and cars are likely to be more lit than barren regions. Second, the model ingests the actual survey data and checks it against the correlations, learning, for example, that areas with more cars are also more likely to rare higher on household spending in the surveys. Then, the magic: the model takes all that and uses the map to make predictions that fills gaps where there isn't good data.
So far, the researchers have been able to accurately estimate household consumption and asset wealth more than half of the time. They say their model is more effective than using both satellite imagery or household data independently, or any other existing methods.
The other great thing about the tool? The price. It's "nearly costless to scale across countries," the researchers write in their paper. All the hi-res imagery used for the project was free, from Google Maps. All the code is open-source so anyone can download and modify it. With more satellite imagery expected to be made publicly available soon, from the European Space Agency and other organizations, modified models can ingest new data and make predictions across time and regions. Right now, says Burke, they can estimate a snapshot of the state of poverty. But to make predictions about the future, they'd need a bunch of snapshots to see how things have changed over time. In the foreseeable future, the team hopes to "make maps that can update all the time," Burke says, as more hi-res imagery is made available and patterns emerge over the years.
The new way of tracking poverty can replace door-to-door household surveys, which are typically expensive and "institutionally difficult, as some governments see little benefit in having their lackluster performance documented," the researchers write. Eventually, Burke and his co-authors hope that governments and organizations across the world will no longer bet blindly on their anti-poverty efforts, but really figure out what's working and what's not. "They can use [the model] as a tool to evaluate anti-poverty programs that they don't get to do, mainly for lack of data."


C4-Mean)^2 Variance: =SUMPRODUCT(SqDevs,Probs) Standard Deviation: =SQRT(Var) We see that the mean return is 15.3% and the standard deviation is 5.3%. What do these mean? Analyzing the Summary Measures: Analyzing the Summary Measures First, the mean or expected return does not imply that the most likely return is 15.3%, nor is this the value that the investor "expects" to occur. The value 15.3% is not even a possible market return. We can understand these measures better in terms of long-run averages. If we can see the coming year repeated many times, using the same probability distribution, then the average of these times would be close to 15.3% and their standard deviation would be 5.3%. Slide23: Derived Probability Distributions Background Information: Background Information A bookstore is planning on ordering a shipment of special edition Christmas calendars that they will sell for $15 a piece. There will be only one order, so if demand is less than the quantity ordered the excess calendars will be donated to a paper recycling company if demand is greater than the quantity ordered, the excess demand will be lost and customers will take their business elsewhere The bookstore estimates that the demand for calendars will be between 250 and 400. DERIVED.XLS: DERIVED.XLS This file contains the probability distribution that the demand for calendars will follow. These estimates have been derived from subjective estimates and historical data. If the bookstore decides to order 350 calendars, what is the probability distribution of units sold? What is the probability distribution of revenue? Derived Distributions of Units Sold and Revenue: Derived Distributions of Units Sold and Revenue Solution: Solution Let D, S,and R denote demand, units sold, and revenue. The key to the solution is that each value of D directly determines the value of S, which in turn determines the value of R. S is the smaller of D and the number ordered, 350, and R is $15 multiplied by the value of S. Therefore we can derive the probability distributions of S and R with the following steps: Solution -- continued: Solution -- continued Calculate Units sold : =MIN(B10,OnHand) Calculate Revenue for each value of units sold: =UnitPrice*B20 Transfer the Derived Probabilities for demand: =C10 Calculate Means of demand, units sold, and revenue: =SUMPRODUCT(Revenues, DerivedProbs) Calculate the Variances and Standard Deviations of demand, units sold and revenue. First, calculate the squared deviations of revenues from their mean in Column F, then calculate the sum of the products of these squared deviations and the revenue probabilities to obtain the variance of revenue. Finally, calculate the standard deviation as the square root of the variance. Summary Measures for Linear Functions: Summary Measures for Linear Functions When one random variable is a linear function of another random variable X, there is a particularly simple way to calculate the summary measures of Y from the Summary measures of X. Y = a + bX for some constant a and b then: mean: E(Y) = a + bE(X) variance: Var(Y) = b2 Var(X) standard deviation: bStdev(X) If Y is a constant multiple of X, that is a=0 then the mean and standard deviation of Y are this same multiple of the mean and standard deviation of X. Slide30: Distribution of Two Random Variables: Scenario Approach Background Information: Background Information An investor plans to invest in General Motors (GM) stock and gold. He assumes that the returns on these investments over the next year depend on the general state of the economy during the year. He identifies four possible states of the economy: depression, recession, normal and boom. These four states have the following probabilities: 0.05, 0.30, 0.50, and 0.15. Background Information -- continued: Background Information -- continued The investor wants to analyze the joint distribution of returns on these two investments. He also wants to analyze the distribution of a portfolio of investments in GM stock and gold.

Relating Two Random Variables: Relating Two Random Variables There are two methods for relating two random variables, the scenario approach and the joint probability approach. The methods differ slightly in the way they assign probabilities to different outcomes. Two summary measures, covariance and correlation, are used to measure the relationship between two variables in both methods. The Summary Measures: The Summary Measures We have discussed summary measures with the same names, covariance and correlation, earlier. The summary measures we are looking at now go by the same name but are conceptually different. In the past we have calculated them from data; here they are calculated from a probability distribution. The random variables are X and Y and the probability that X and Y equal xi and yi is p(xi, yi) is called a joint probability. Summary Measures -- continued: Summary Measures -- continued Although they are calculated differently, the interpretation is essentially the same as we previously discussed. Each indicates the strength of a linear relationship between X and Y. If X and Y vary in the same direction then both measures are positive. If they vary in opposite directions then both measures are negative. Covariance is more difficult to interpret because it depends on the units of measurement of X and Y. Correlation is always between -1 and +1. The Scenario Approach: The Scenario Approach The essence of the scenario approach in this example is that a given state of the economy determines both GM and gold returns, so that only four pairs of returns are possible. These pairs are -0.20 and 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20, 0.30 and -0.12, and 0.50 and 0.09. Each pair has a joint probability. To calculate means, variances and standard deviations, we treat GM and gold returns separately. Calculating Covariance and Correlation: Calculating Covariance and Correlation We also need to calculate the covariance and correlation between the variables. To obtain these we use the following steps: Deviations between means: To calculate the covariance we need the sum of deviations from means, so we need to calculate these deviations with the formula =C4-GMMean in B14 and copy it down through B17. We also calculate this for gold. Covariance: Calculate the covariance between GM and gold returns in cell B23 with the formula =SUMPRODUCT(GMDevs,GoldDevs,Probs) Calculating Covariance and Correlation -- continued: Calculating Covariance and Correlation -- continued Correlation: Calculate the correlation between GM and gold returns in cell B24 with the formula =Covar/(GMStdv*GoldStedev) The negative covariance indicates that GM and gold returns tend to vary in opposite directions, although it is difficult to judge the strength by the magnitude of the covariance. The correlation of -0.410 is also negative and indicates a moderately strong relationship. We cannot infer too much from this correlation though because the variables are not linear. Simulation: Simulation A simulation of GM and gold returns help explain the covariance and correlation. There are two keys to this simulation: First we must, simulate the states of the economy, not - at least not directly - the GM and gold returns. We simulate this be entering a RAND function in A1 and then by entering the formulas VLOOKUP(A21,LTable,2) in B21 and VLOOKUP(A21,LTable,3) in C21. This way uses the same random number, hence the same scenario, to generate both returns in a given row, and the effect is that only four pairs of returns are possible. Simulation -- continued: Simulation -- continued Second, once we have the simulated returns we can calculate the covariance and correlation of these numbers. We calculate these in cells B8 and B9 with the formulas COVAR(SimGM,SimGOLD) and CORREL(SimGM,SimGold). These are built-in Excel functions. A comparison of these summary measures with the previously calculated summary measures shows that there is reasonably good agreement between the covariance and correlation of the probability distribution and the measures based on the simulated values. The agreement is not perfect but will improve as more pairs are simulated. Simulation of GM and Gold Returns: Simulation of GM and Gold Returns Portfolio Analysis: Portfolio Analysis The final part of this example is to analyze a portfolio consisting of GM stock and gold. We assume that the investor has $10,000 and puts some fraction of this in GM stock and the rest in gold. The key to the analysis is that there are only four possible scenarios -- that is, there are only four possible portfolio returns. In this case we calculate the entire portfolio return distribution and summary measures in the usual way. Portfolio Analysis -- continued: Portfolio Analysis -- continued One thing of interest is to see how the expected portfolio return and standard deviation of portfolio return change as the amount the investor puts into GM stock changes. To do this we use a data table or mean and stdev of portfolio return as a function of GM investment. A graph of these measures show that the expected portfolio return steadily increases as more and more is put into GM. Portfolio Analysis -- continued: Portfolio Analysis -- continued However, we must note that the standard deviation, often used as a measure of risk, first decreases, then increases. This means there is trade-off between expected return and risk (as measured by the standard deviation). The investor could obtain a higher expected return by putting more of his money into GM; but past a fraction

We have developed a high-resolution cavity-beam position monitor (BPM) to be used at the focal point of the ATF2, which is a test beam line that is now being built to demonstrate stable orbit control at ∼nanometer resolution. The design of the cavity structure was optimized for the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) beam in various ways. For example, the cavity has a rectangular shape in order to isolate two dipole modes in orthogonal directions, and a relatively thin gap that is less sensitive to trajectory inclination. A two stage homodyne mixer with highly sensitive electronics and phase-sensitive detection was also developed. Two BPM blocks, each containing two cavity BPMs, were installed in the existing ATF beam line using a rigid support frame. After testing the basic characteristics, we measured the resolution using three BPMs. The system demonstrated 8.7 nm position resolution over a dynamic range of 5μm.

I've created a free reminder system that will send you regular text message reminders to encourage you with your new habits. One of the reasons I hear most often why people struggle with new habits is because they get overwhelmed with the busy-ness of the day and just forget to keep up. Or, they get wrapped up in the impulse of urgency and just revert to old habit.
These healthy habit reminders bring you tips, new research, and encouragement so you can keep your commitments to yourself and be able to show up for the people and things that matter the most.
You choose the habit and how often you want a reminder, and these helpful emails will automatically pop into your inbox. With a happy reminder, you're more likely to keep up your new habits, make progress, and make the shift from sick to spectacular.
These messages are like having little bits of my wisdom every day (or every week) to encourage and support you on your wellness journey. The journey is more fun and more successful when you have a partner, so let's get started!
These reminders cover four categories:
- Healthy Eating
- Stress Management
You can decide how often you want to receive these reminders - daily, 3 times a week, or weekly.
You'll receive one message for each category you select. If you choose movement and sleep, you'll get two messages at your selected frequency. There's no limit to the messages you can receive, and you can stop them at any time by simply replying STOP to the text message.
And one more thing, I might from time to time send announcements about what is going on with my work. It won't be often, and it won't be spammy.


Could someone help me to identify the following spider-like insects? They are very small, so I used a macro lens to capture them. I have tried to capture them as clearly as possible.
They are about 2-3mm long with a black hairy head/belly.
enter image description here
They were collected from a closed section of Tseung Kwan O Landfill and Clear Water Bay Country Park of Hong Kong. This area is revegetated so the ecology is much like an area which contains many kind of trees.

What is meta? ×
Have a look at the revisions of _URL_ in particular the formatting-related edit I made (edit 2). The formatted text contains spurious newlines and indentation errors (not to speak of the randomly inserted HTML escape sequence). Even deleting the newlines and re-inserting them didn't help.
Minimal example that still exhibits the buggy behaviour:
 1. Item
Source (displays exactly right):
1. Item
Another example, from an old posting of mine that worked before, but is now broken: _URL_
Notice how the posting's source code ends on " tags in the HTML output.
Besides the fact that this is actually ambiguous (Which item is wrapped in tags? The one before the blank line? The one after it? Both? All of them, once there's a blank line anywhere?) and that different implementations actually handle this differently, here's how the original implementation does it:
The first element is wrapped in if it's followed by a blank line, the last element when it's preceded by a blank line, and all other ones when there's a blank line at least on one side. All items are wrapped if they contain blank lines.
All well, there's some consistency to this. The implementation, however, tries to express this logic in a regular expression:
 (\n)? # leading line = $1
 (^[ \t]*) # leading whitespace = $2
 ($marker_any) [ \t]+ # list marker = $3
 ((?s:.+?) # list item text = $4
 (?= \n* (\z | \2 ($marker_any) [ \t]+))
When a Markdown list is separated into items, this preserves one or two newline characters at the end (one meaning there's no blank line, two meaning there is), and one newline character at the beginning.
The presence of the double newline at the end means this item is followed by a blank line. The presence of a leading newline on top means this item is preceded by a blank line.
Well, almost. Because now we need three newline characters between the items, two to be captured at the end, and one to be captured at the top.
Well, that's easy:
# Turn double returns into triple returns, so that we can make a
# paragraph for the last item in a list, if necessary:
$list =~ s/\n{2,}/\n\n\n/g;
– and that's why code in lists started growing newlines.
Many Markdown ports to other languages do it the same way – including Attacklab Showdown (SO's client-side Markdown renderer) and MarkdownSharp (the server-side version).
After removing this piece of logic from the regex and instead keeping a little bit of extra state* between the list item processing steps, we could remove the double-triple-conversion.
* appropriately called last_item_had_a_double_newline

Amazing. I know from experience how hard debugging regular expressions is. And then there's the complexity of parsing Markdown at all … William Shields' attempt at parsing Markdown with a formal parser (as far as I see) hasn't been fruitful either. – Konrad Rudolph Jan 6 '11 at 17:21
amazing work Ben! – Jeff Atwood Jan 6 '11 at 21:30
There have been ZERO changes to any of the markdown code in months. FYI. Be happy to share SVN logs with you (privately) if you don't believe me.
I think this is simply a condition we hadn't discovered before. It seems to be based on spacing, like so:
 1. uno
 2. dos
 3. tres
 4. cuatro
Conclusion: this is not a new bug, surprisingly -- both the client and server side markdown renderers do the same thing here! That leads me to believe it's a narrow condition around code within numbered lists.
Bottom line, if you have code (8-space-indent) inside a bulleted list, you cannot have blank lines inside the code. Bizarre, but true.
Checking in _URL_ verifies this is a bug in multiple markdown engines. Click here to see the above sample text in multiple markdown engines. There's definitely a disturbance in the force here..

This would be awesome if it was fixed, since ctr-k doesn't work on code in a numbered list ( you have to hand indent the extra 4 lines ). – Peter Ajtai Oct 3 '10 at 0:12

What's special about the marine reserve
Protecting Long Bay and Okura's marine life
The Long Bay - Okura Marine Reserve, established in 1995, is Auckland's most accessible marine reserve. Marine reserves are areas of sea and foreshore where all marine life is totally protected and fish, shellfish, seaweeds and other species can recover from over-fishing and other threats.
Protecting a range of New Zealand's coastal and marine ecosystems
The Long Bay - Okura Marine Reserve protects an area of coastline typical of much of the Waitemata Harbour and inner Hauraki Gulf. It is moderately sheltered and largely formed of Waitemata sandstones and mudstones. The purpose of a marine protected area network around the New Zealand coastline is to safeguard representative examples of our different coastal and marine habitats.
Sandy beaches and rocky reefs are the main habitats to be found in the Long Bay section of the marine reserve. Waitemata rock formations are clearly visible, and the intertidal zone on the rock platforms provide plenty of rock pool life to investigate.
Estuarine mudflats and mangroves (one of the most productive ecosystems on earth) also feature in the marine reserve in the sheltered upper reaches of the Okura River.
Getting an overview
The Long Bay coastal walk leads from the northern end of the beach up onto the coastal cliffs. Piripiri Point gives good views over the marine reserve and its boundary markers.

The leaky bucket algorithm is a method of temporarily storing a variable number of requests and organizing them into a set-rate output of packets in an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network.
The leaky bucket is used to implement traffic policing and traffic shaping in Ethernet and cellular data networks. The algorithm can also be used to control metered-bandwidth Internet connections to prevent going over the allotted bandwidth for a month, thereby avoiding extra charges.
The algorithm works similarly to the way an actual leaky bucket holds water: The leaky bucket takes data and collects it up to a maximum capacity. Data in the bucket is only released from the bucket at a set rate and size of packet. When the bucket runs out of data, the leaking stops. If incoming data would overfill the bucket, then the packet is considered to be non-conformant and is not added to the bucket. Data is added to the bucket as space becomes available for conforming packets.
The leaky bucket algorithm can also detect both gradually increasing and dramatic memory error increases by comparing how the average and peak data rates exceed set acceptable background amounts.
In a broader context, the leaky bucket is an analogy for describing how inputs and outputs work in a wide variety of business and technology systems.

I am not getting Why Size of Class with a member function is 1 byte..While member function is 4 bytes in the following example.
class Test
 int m = 0;
int main()
 Test t1;
 int J = sizeof(t1);
 int K = sizeof(t1.Test11());
 return 0;
Here J becomes 1 Byte and K becomes 4 bytes. If K=4, then why size of class is not 4 bytes instead it shows 1 Byte
share|improve this question
What is the actual return type for Test::Test11? Is it a typo and you meant Test::Test()? The code you posted is not well formed in that it defines a class with a member function that has no return type. – David Rodríguez - dribeas Oct 1 '09 at 6:06

The function itself is not actually stored in the class.
Only the class's data members (and possibly its vtable pointer, if it has one) affect its size. The function itself lives in the executable code region, and all instances of the same type of class use that one definition of the function. The compiler does not actually copy out the entirety of a function body every time you create a new instance of the class.
Also, sizeof(t1.Test11()) does not mean "the size of the function Test::Test11's executable code in bytes." It means "the size of the type returned by Test::Test11".
share|improve this answer
It should also be noted that 1 is the minimum value sizeof will ever return. Otherwise, arrays would break badly. – derobert Oct 1 '09 at 4:25

Function implementation is not contained in each instance of a class, so instance of a class could have size 0, but it is not. Bjarne Stroustrup wrote here why is the size of an empty class not zero?

To skew an object by using the resize handles
Select an object or a group of objects or anchor points. The resize handles appear.
Position your pointer near but outside one of the side handles and use one of the following methods:
To skew horizontally, drag the top or bottom side handle of the object to the left or right.
To skew vertically, drag either the left or right side handle.
To skew the object around its center point, hold down the ALT key.
A shape (in blue) being skewed with the top handle
You can skew and create a duplicate of a selection at the same time by holding down CTRL+ALT when you drag.
To skew an object by using the Action Bar
On the left side of the Action Bar, click the registration point icon to indicate which part of the selected object you want to stay stationary during skewing. For example, if you want the upper-right corner of your object to remain in position when the rest of the object skews, click the upper-right corner of the registration point icon.
Adjust the Skew Angle. Drag the pointer up or to the right to increase the value, or drag it down or to the left to reduce the value. Click the field to type a numeric value.
To skew vertically (shear) instead of horizontally, set the Rotation Angle and Skew Angle fields to the same value.

A workflow is what you use to define what should happen when a form on your website is submitted. This could be sending an email with the information from the form or it could be setting up a notification in a tool like Slack.
 The most common workflow is to present a "Thank you" message when a form is submitted, and then also send the email to a designated mail inbox.
 In your Umbraco Uno website a workflow has already been set up for you, and you only need to choose which email you want to notify, when a form has been submitted.
 In this article you will learn how to start using the default workflow, and you will also find information on how to set up your own custom workflows.
 Please be aware that you will need to fill out the Contact form email field, in the General settings page found under Settings in the Content section.
 This requires you to have set up a form. If you don't have a form set-up yet, you can learn how to do that in the Setting up a form section.
 Finding the workflows
 In this part, we will learn how to enter the configuration menu for workflows. We will be working with a form that contains the following:
 - A Name field using a short answer
 - An Email field using a short answer
 - A Question using a long answer
 This is how you get into the configuration of your workflow:
 1. Navigate to the Forms section of the backoffice.
 2. Here, select the form you want to add a workflow to.
 3. At the bottom of the page, you will find a section containing a checkmark saying on submit.
 4. Click Configure workflow.
 5. The pop op window will contain the workflow that currently exists.
 Editing the existing workflow
 If you choose an empty form when setting up a new form, it will come with a working workflow. You will have to make a slight update to it before it functions optimally. This can be done in the configuration menu for workflows.
 1. Click the box Send template email to.
 2. In the field called Sender email, you should add something like [email protected]
 3. It is recommended to choose Igloo template.
 4. Hit submit and then hit submit in the next menu as well.
 Now the workflow will be working optimally if you followed the steps to point.
 Creating a custom workflow
 In this section, you will learn how to make a custom workflow that sends an email to your inbox of choice.
 1. First, give the workflow the name you want it to have in the Workflow Name field.
 2. Put a checkmark in the Active* so that the workflow is active.
 3. The Include Sensitive Data will be left unchecked unless your form contains sensitive data.
 4. Ensure that the Email is set to the email which should receive replies from forms.
 5. Next up is the Sender Email. Here you can add something like [email protected]
 6. If you want to reply directly to the customer from the forms reply, you can add {email} to the ReplyToEmail this will fetch the email from the field called email in the form.
 7. Next, you have the option to choose the subject of the email.
 8. In the next field, you can pick a template. It is recommended to use Igloo-template.cshtml.
 9. Finally, leave Attachments unchecked, unless you have an upload-field in the form, and want to receive the uploaded files through the workflow.
 this is the workflow settings
 The above is for setting up a workflow from scratch. This will be needed if you choose any of the two forms templates coming with the basic install of Umbraco Uno.

Once the mince pies have lost their appeal and the turkey is gone the one thing left to remind you of a good Christmas is your real tree. But what to do with it once the festive period is over and the needles are starting to drop? Have no fear as you can recycle your Christmas tree at Ogden Water. Each year Calderdale Countryside Services receive thousands of trees, some that have their roots cut off and others potted. No matter what the state of your tree they can use it.
Trees can be left outside the visitor centre/classroom and then a hardy bunch of volunteers work the trees, removing branches down one side and placing the cut trees into a brash layer surrounding the reservoir. This thick layer adds a dash of colour during January, but has a number of other advantages. The layer prevents anyone from accessing the water – helping to keep people safe while still enjoying the site. It also creates a habitat that is used by birds, mammals insects and plants to breed, grow and develop over the coming year.
Any trees that are donated with roots on are planted around the estate in areas that would benefit from wind protection or in need of thickening up with firs & pines. Trees can be dropped off until the end of January and there are a number of days planned for people to help put the trees out around the reservoir, for more details please email _EMAIL_

Choosing between constructor and setter methods
While the use of constructor helps in initializing the member variables during object creation. The setter methods help to assign values to member variables after the object has been created in the memory. The choice of constructor or setter methods for initializing the member variables depends upon the requirement.
Some of the examples where using a constructor which accepts arguments and then uses these arguments for initializing a member variables are:
- When no setter method has been exposed, the constructor can be used to initialize any private member variable. We can see this approach being used by the string class in JDK where in the constructor accepts a string literal object and use the characters of this literal to initialize the internal character array.
- When invoking the methods on constructor from super class is a requirement before object can be constructed, one has to resort to using constructors for member variable initialization.
- Another common scenario we constructors are used for initializing instance variable is is when those instance variables are quite significant for the object being constructed. For example when creating a Book class instance, passing the title of the book as an argument to the Book class constructor.
Using Setter Methods
Some of the examples where using the setter methods for setting instance variables are:
- When a large number of member variables are present in a class then using a constructor with say 15 arguments does not make sense and one should resort to using setter methods for initializing those 15 member variables.
- When the member variables have the property of changing their value quite frequently than one must be using the setter methods.
- The use of setter methods makes it clear as to which member variable is being set. This is because of the fact that proper naming convention is used for the names of setter methods whereas in case of constructor there is no clear indication about the arguments which need to be passed to the constructor.
One last point I want to make above the choice of using constructor or setter methods is that while one can overload the constructors to accept a different type and number of arguments which can be convenient in some cases. But that is not possible with the use of setter methods.


How many teaspoons are equal to 1 ounce?
Quick Answer
Since 3 teaspoons make 1 tablespoon, and 2 tablespoons make 1 fluid ounce, 1 ounce is equivalent to 6 teaspoons. Care must be taken to distinguish between measurements of weight and volume in this case, as dry ounces and liquid ounces measure weight and volume, respectively.

How many teaspoons are equal to 1 ounce?
Credit: liz west CC-BY 2.0
Full Answer
Since a teaspoon is a measure of volume, it cannot be directly converted to dry ounces, which measure weight. Confusion between the two units can result in radically different amounts of ingredients being added to recipes, depending on the density of the ingredient. Fluid ounces are also defined slightly differently in the United States and Great Britain. A fluid ounce of water in Great Britain weighs exactly 1 dry ounce, but in the United States 1 fluid ounce of water is somewhat more than a dry ounce in weight.

Religious diversity in European prisons : challenges and implications for rehabilitation
Title: Religious diversity in European prisons : challenges and implications for rehabilitation
Citation: Cham : Springer International Publishing, 2015
ISBN: 9783319167770; 9783319167787
This book examines how prisons meet challenges of religious diversity, in an era of increasing multiculturalism and globalization. Social scientists studying corrections have noted the important role that religious or spiritual practice can have on rehabilitation, particularly for inmates with coping with stress, mental health and substance abuse issues. In the past, the historical figure of the prison chaplain operated primarily in a Christian context, following primarily a Christian model. Increasingly, prison populations (inmates as well as employees) display diversity in their ethnic, cultural, religious and geographic backgrounds. As public institutions, prisons are compelled to uphold the human rights of their inmates, including religious freedom. Prisons face challenges in approaching religious plurality and secularism, and maintaining prisoners' legal rights to religious freedom. The contributions to this work present case studies that examine how prisons throughout Europe have approached challenges of religious diversity.

text: We present 12 new transit light curves of the hot-Jupiter TrES-3b observed during 2012-2018 to probe the transit timing variation (TTV). By combining the midtransit times determined from these 12 transit data with those reestimated through uniform procedure from 71 transit data available in the literature, we derive new linear ephemeris and obtain the timing residuals that suggest the possibility of TTV in the TrES-3 system. However, the frequency analysis shows that the possible TTV is unlikely to be periodic, indicating the absence of an additional body in this system. To explore the other possible origins of TTV, the orbital decay and apsidal precession ephemeris models are fitted to the transit time data. We find the decay rate of TrES-3b to be (P) overt dot(q) = -4.1 +/- 3.1 ms( )yr(-1), and the corresponding estimated modified stellar tidal quality factor of Q(*)' similar to 1.11 x 10(5) is consistent with the theoretically predicted values for the stars hosting the hot-Jupiters. The shift in the transit arrival time of TrES-3b after 11 years is expected to be T-s(hift) similar to 69.55 s, which is consistent with the rms of the timing residuals. Besides, we find that the apsidal precession ephemeris model is statistically less probable than the other considered ephemeris models. It is also discussed that despite the fact that the linear ephemeris model appears to be the most plausible model to represent the transit time data, the possibility of the orbital decay cannot be completely ruled out in the TrES-3 system. To confirm this, further high-precision and high-cadence follow-up observation of transits of TrES-3b would be important.

Kayaking is a great way to enjoy the water. But it can be tough to learn how to paddle a kayak in a straight line. Nothing could be further from the truth.
With good reason, kayaking is one of the most popular water sports. It's relaxing, fun, and a great way to get exercise.
In this article, we'll take a look at some of the different ways to learn how to paddle a kayak in a straight line.
- Here's The Answer To How To Paddle A Kayak In A Straight Line
- Why It's Difficult To Paddle A Kayak In A Straight Line?
- Benefits Of Paddling A Kayak In A Straight Line?
- Is It Safe To Paddle A Kayak In A Straight Line?
- Does The Type Of Kayak Matter To Paddle In the Straight Line?
Here's The Answer To How To Paddle A Kayak In A Straight Line
The best way to paddle straight is to look at where you want to go and maintain that angle. If you're paddling with a partner, it's important to stay coordinated with them so you're paddling in the same direction (for instance, if one person is paddling left, the other should be paddling right).
This can be difficult for beginners when working independently, but staying focused on your goal will help keep you from veering off course.
Also, keeping your paddle in the water while looking at what you want to hit keeps your kayak moving straight. It's best to practice this technique by paddling away from the beach and watching a stationary point, such as a tree or post.
Keep your body centered over the kayak and paddle in a consistent motion. Look where you want to go as you paddle, and keep your body perpendicular to your direction of travel.
For forceful paddling strokes, keep your knees bent 90 degrees and engage your thigh muscles.
The Correct Technique To Hold Paddle
The correct position for paddling is with your arms straight and your elbows bent so that the paddle shaft rests comfortably in the crook of your armpit.
Your hands should be placed in the middle of the paddle shaft and about a foot apart. This will allow you to control both ends simultaneously, making manoeuvers easier and more efficient.
Your hands should be relaxed as well—no excessive shaking or squeezing! If there's too much tension in any part of this motion, we run into problems: wrists can't move properly; shoulders tense up; breathing becomes strained; etc.
Finally, remember that wrist position is key here: they should be straight while paddling (not bent back or forward), but relaxed enough that they don't get tired quickly if you're using them continuously over several hours on end!
Position Yourself Correctly
The best position to paddle a kayak is with your body facing forward. This allows you to utilize the most power with each stroke and gives you the most control over where the kayak goes.
If possible, try positioning yourself so that your torso is leaning slightly forward while sitting on top of the kayak (not in it).
This will give you an easier time moving around the boat when needed, such as performing turns or accelerating through rapids.
Additionally, make sure your arms are fully extended with one elbow pointing toward the sky when paddling straight ahead.
Your body will move smoothly with each stroke instead of jerkily from one side to the other or backward and forward.
Correct Forward and Reverse Strokes
How to Paddle a Kayak Straight (The Right Way!)
- Keep your paddle in the water at all times.
- Push down on your paddle as you pull it forward and up as you bring it back, making sure that the blade stays flat on the water's surface.
- It is recommended to keep your knuckles and arms in the proper position. To do so, make sure you are facing forwards. The front of the kayak should be facing backward.
- When you are paddling, make sure you are keeping your body straight. To do this, your knees should be bent 90 degrees. After you have bent your knees, keep your feet flat. Additionally, you should maintain a straight spine and relaxed shoulders. This will allow you to achieve the ideal level of equilibrium.
Make Sure Your Kayak Is in The Right Shape
Before you even step onto the water, make sure your kayak is good. You should check the hull for any holes or cracks and ensure that it's not too heavy or too light for you.
If the boat is too small for your body type, it will be harder to paddle and control. The opposite is true: if your kayak is too big, it will be harder for you to maneuver around obstacles and other boats on the water.
Make sure your seat fits comfortably with as little adjustment as possible before heading out into open waters; otherwise, this could cause problems later down the road!
Practice, practice, practice!
Make sure you practice paddling on flat water before heading out on the water. If you do this, you'll have a better sense of your kayak's characteristics and how it responds to paddling.
It will also help build up the muscles and endurance needed to paddle in strong winds or choppy conditions. There will be certain things to get used to, just as in any new sport (like trying out different strokes).
You might find that one stroke is more comfortable than another, so try them all out at least once before deciding which works best for you!
Why It's Difficult To Paddle A Kayak In A Straight Line?
The most common reasons for kayaking in a straight line are:
- The paddle is not placed correctly.
- The paddle is too big or small for your size and strength.
- The shape of the boat you are using makes it difficult to paddle in a straight line.
- Your position in the boat may be off, causing you to lean away from where you want to go, causing your kayak to turn instead of going straight ahead.
Benefits Of Paddling A Kayak In A Straight Line?
Benefits of Paddling a Kayak in a Straight Line
- Less stress while paddling.
- More efficient use of energy.
- Enjoy a smoother ride.
- Maintains control over your kayak.
Is it safe to paddle a kayak in a straight line? What are the risks of not paddling a kayak in a straight line?
Reduces Stress While Paddling
- Less stress on the body
- More efficient use of energy
- Less fatigue: less effort to paddle, so it's easier to keep going for longer
- Enjoyable: no more paddling with a crooked neck and sore arms – enjoy yourself!
- Reduces the risk of injury: if you're not stressing out your muscles and joints, they won't get damaged as easily. This includes wrists, shoulders, back, and neck.
More Efficient Use of Energy
To paddle a kayak straight, you need to use your body's power. When you do this correctly, you can exert less energy and still get the same effect as paddling harder.
This means that it's easier for you to keep going for a long time, so it's such an important technique. The key is using your core muscles and legs instead of just your arms when paddling straight.
This will make it so that even though you're using less energy than before (and therefore getting tired less quickly), you can still move forward at the same speed!
In fact, even though most people associate kayaking with being very difficult to work (which sometimes leads them not to want to try).
Enjoy a Smoother Ride
If you're a newbie, it is most likely that your kayak will be moving sideways more often than not. This can be extremely uncomfortable and cause injury to your back, shoulders, and wrists.
To avoid this issue, you should always strive to paddle straight. By paddling straight, you will increase the efficiency of your strokes by at least 50%.
Paddling straight keeps your body comfortable for longer periods which means less strain on those key areas mentioned above.
You might think that paddling straight is easier said than done but with just a little practice and some guidance from someone who has experience in kayaking (like I did), you'll be able to master it within minutes!
Maintains Control Over Your Kayak
When paddling a kayak in a straight line, you are gaining control over your kayak. This is because you can maintain a hand position that is good for steering, and you can stay in an upright position.
This also means that you can paddle with less wind resistance and use your paddling skills to move forward with more momentum.
It's possible that an experienced paddler could use less force and still maintain good forward velocity. This is because you can use an efficient stroke that uses less energy.
Overall, the easiest way to paddle a kayak in a straight line is to keep your top hand close to the kayak and paddle with a wind-up. This will help you maintain control over your kayak and paddle with less effort.
Is It Safe To Paddle A Kayak In A Straight Line?
Yes, it is safe to paddle a kayak in a straight line. Paddle stroke, posture, and proper paddling techniques are the key to success. Turning the kayak is also possible with the proper use of a rudder.
- Paddle stroke is the main factor in moving the kayak forward. The proper paddle length and use of the dominant hand are key. The power phase of the paddle stroke should be used to move the kayak forward.
- Proper posture is also important when paddling a kayak. Using foot pegs and proper back support will help keep the paddler in the proper position.
- Turning the kayak is possible with the proper use of a rudder. The rudder should be used to turn the kayak in the desired direction.

It's a fact. Men are better than women … at sweating. Yep, we do it more frequently and more effectively. Congrats guys.
Researchers at Osaka International University in Japan measured the perspiration rates of men and women while they biked for an hour under controlled conditions.
The researchers had 37 subjects cycle for an hour at increasing intensities—active subjects had participated in endurance sports for more than six years, while inactive subjects had, for the most part, not performed regular physical activity in the previous three years. The scientists measured the subjects' temperature, sweat rate and activated sweat glands for a number of sites on the body, including the forehead and thigh. The information was used to calculate sweat gland output and measure performance.
The study revealed that physically fit men sweat more than anyone else. In general, men sweat more than women, and that has its advantages. Sweating is how our body cools off. So, by sweating more than women, men are able to exercise for a longer time.
'"It appears that women are at a disadvantage when they need to sweat a lot during exercise," said Yoshimitsu Inoue, the study's coordinator. "Especially in hot conditions."
Previous physical training increased sweating in both men and women, but the increase was greater with men. As the workouts got more intense, the difference in sweating between the sexes increased. Interestingly enough, fit women sweat more than unfit men, but by an insignificant margin.
The researchers believe that testosterone could explain why men sweat better than women.
Prior research has shown a link between the male sex-hormone testosterone, physical training and an increase in sweat rate. Although they did not measure the hormone among their subjects, the researchers suggest the hormone may play a role in their results.
So guys, the next time you enter into a women's marathon, just make sure it's really hot out. You'll sweat more, and you'll be a lock to win.

You should google, " sorting arrays".
There are many algorithms for this task.
Or you can let std::sort do the job.
Is there another way of using it? Please advise.
Did you bother to even google it at all like firstPerson said? You should have _URL_ bookmarked, or some very similar site. There are loads of them. Do some research yourself before posting here. Post here when you've done the research and have gotten STUCK after trying it. Don't just post here right away. The link is below. Read it carefully and experiment. It has sample code. Or google "sorting arrays" like firstPerson said, and you'll quickly come to Bubble Sort, which is the simplest sort out there to write. Loads of links with sample code.
As far as generating the letters with no repeats, I told you one way of doing it in the last thread. It doesn't hurt my pride if you choose not to follow my method, and there is more than one way to do it, but I gave you something that would work and you haven't implemented it, nor have you implemented it in any other way, nor did you ask any specific question on how to implement it, so I'm wondering if you're actually reading the responses people give you.

Do I use std::sort like this
Just to answer your question :
const int SZ = 10;
int Array[SZ] = {1,6,-2,0,5,54,71,24,70,31 };
std::sort(Array, Array + SZ);

Diver Dragged Underwater by Whale in New Zealand – What Species?
While the traumatized free diver claims that an orca swam over, grabbed a catch bag that was tied to his wrist, and dragged him underwater until he almost ran out of breath, it is highly unlikely that this was actually an orca. For starters, orcas are unknown to attack humans in the wild, nor would they likely be interested in stealing a catch bag since the contents (which included crayfish) are not likely to be part of their diet.
It sounds much more like the work of a pilot whale, a species who have been known to drag humans underwater, always returning them to the surface just in time before drowning can occur. This appears to be how the whales send people a message when they feel harassed, and people don't understand the warnings given by the whales.
In May 1992 a swimmer entered waters south off Hawaii and swam with a group of short-finned pilot whales. During the encounter one whale dramatically changed its behavior and finally attacked the swimmer by opening its mouth and grabbing the swimmer's inner left thigh. Seconds later the human swimmer was drowned to 40 feet below the surface. Finally, the swimmer was brought back to the water surface. The scenario was filmed underwater and can be viewed on YouTube (…here…).The woman survived this life-threatening attack. (From PilotWhales.org.)
Short finned pilot whale (Globicephala macrorhynchus)
Short finned pilot whale (Globicephala macrorhynchus)
Pilot whales can be confused with orcas, they are both commonly called 'blackfish', and both occupy New Zealand waters.
In any case, this is such an odd occurrence that it may turn out to be an incomplete story. Like orcas, pilot whales are not known to randomly approach human divers and drag them underwater when the people are minding their own business.
Quoted below is part of the article in which the diver expressed that he assumed it was and orca, although he never saw it because of bubbles that obscured his vision:
Diver survives death spiral in whale attack
By Amy Maas 5:30 AM Sunday Feb 23, 2014
Levi Gavin says the orca dragged him beneath the water for more than 40 seconds before he broke free. Photo / Doug Sherring
A free diver who was dragged to the depths of the ocean by a killer whale has told how he got down to his "last breath" during the terrifying ordeal.
Levi Gavin, 23, was collecting kina and crayfish at Horahora Estuary, 30km east of Whangarei on February 10, when an orca grabbed a catch bag attached to his right arm.
It dragged him beneath the water for more than 40 seconds before a rope connecting him to the bag came undone and he was able to free himself from the death spiral. Remarkably, he escaped injury.
In an exclusive interview, the keen fisherman told how he had tried to relax as he was being dragged deeper and deeper by the giant sea creature.
"As soon as it got me under water, my goggles came off and kept flapping on my face and it just kept going," he told the Herald on Sunday.
"I went to go open my eyes but all I could see was little white bubbles so I just closed my eyes and tried not to use my energy because then I use up my breath.
"I got to my last breath. I couldn't really think at the time."
Gavin popped off his weight belt and floated to the surface before realising his arm was "dead" and he was unable to swim.
"My cousin was about 30m from me and I could hear his flippers from a mile away trying to get out to me because he saw me pop up.

This tutorial shows you how to use the W3C stack of technologies for Linked Data to work with metadata defined using AML.
- JVM: version 7 or higher
- SBT to build the AMF command-line
- Local installation of Apache Jena
You can download the example from the AML project examples repository in Github.
This tutorial assumes you have a working version of the AMF command-line as described in the quickstart tutorial.
Apache Jena is a popular Java library to work with semantic and linked data. It can be used as a programming library, but also contains a number of command-line tools that we will use in this tutorial.
Installing Jena is beyond the scope of this tutorial. For information about installation for your platform, see the Jena site. For example, in Mac OS systems, Jena can be installed using Homebrew
AML documents can be parsed into a graph of metadata using AMF.
This graph is encoded as a JSON-LD document. In this tutorial, we will use Jena to execute a query over this graph of information.
We will generate the resolved graph of information parsing one of the playlist documents in the music example using AMF:
The Jena query command line, needs to get the input data as a set of assertions in the Turtle format. We will use the Jena
riot command line to transform our JSON-LD output file into Turtle and store it in the
Now, we can run a query over the graph after loading it into Jena. The query is going to be expressed in the standard SPARQL graph query language.
We will list 10 songs ordered by song duration and also retrieve the name of the song:
The graph parsed from AML metadata documents can be enlarged by just adding assertions parsed from the graph.
Let's add another playlist to our graph of metadata, parsing the

If we run the same query, we will find additional songs:
We can use use the relationship between playlists and songs in the graph to introduce that information into the query:


Here's what to do if you feel unwell before your Covid vaccine
Thursday, 18th March 2021, 2:45 pm
Updated Thursday, 18th March 2021, 2:45 pm
More than 25 million people in the UK have now received a first dose of the Covid vaccine.
The rollout, which began with the Oxford-AstraZeneca and Pfizer-BioNTech jabs, is the biggest in the history of the NHS.
As more people become eligible to be given a vaccine, many are asking what they can expect from their appointment.
A common query is whether you can receive the jab if you are already unwell.
So, can you get the coronavirus vaccine if you have a cold or other illness?
Here is everything you need to know.
Can I get the Covid vaccine if I'm not well?
The UK Government has released guidance for people receiving their Covid vaccine.
There is a dedicated frequently asked questions section that includes what people should do if they feel unwell before they receive their jab.
According to the guidance, if you are ill when you have your appointment, you should wait until you have recovered to have your vaccine.
Furthermore, if you are self-isolating or waiting for your coronavirus test result you should also not attend your appointment.
The guidance states: "If you are unwell, it is better to wait until you have recovered to have your vaccine, but you should try to have it as soon as possible.
"You should not attend a vaccine appointment if you are self-isolating, waiting for a COVID-19 test or unsure if you are fit and well."
Meanwhile, the advice in Scotland is similar but dependent on how severe your illness is.
The NHS Inform guidance states: "If you're unwell on the day of your appointment, you should still go for your vaccination if it's a minor illness without fever.
"If you feel very unwell your vaccine may be postponed until you have fully recovered.
"Do not attend your vaccine appointment if you feel unwell with symptoms of coronavirus. Self-isolate and book a test instead."
If you have further questions about your upcoming appointment if you are feeling unwell, contact your GP who will be able to assist you.
Should you still get the vaccine if you've had Covid?
If you have tested positive for coronavirus before, you may have built up some immunity to the virus.
You'll most likely have antibodies - proteins that circulate in the blood and recognise foreign substances like viruses - T cells and B cells.
People who have recovered from the virus have been found to have all of these components.
While scientists still don't know for certain how long immunity from coronavirus lasts, recent studies have provided some answers.
One led by Public Health England showed that most people who have had the virus are protected from catching it again for at least five months.
However, it is likely that this natural immunity won't last as long as the immunity given to you by a vaccine, and you can still be reinfected and pass on the virus to others even if you have no symptoms.
For these reasons, you should still take up the jab even if you have been infected with Covid before.
The NHS Inform guidance states: "Even if you've already had coronavirus, you could still get it again.
"The vaccine will reduce your risk of another infection and the seriousness of your symptoms if you do get it again.
"If you've recently tested positive for coronavirus – even if you have no symptoms – you should wait until 4 weeks after the date you were tested before getting the vaccine.
"The vaccine is your best protection against coronavirus."
Can you catch Covid after having the vaccine?
Both Covid vaccines have been shown to reduce the risk of you suffering from the virus.
It takes your body a week or two to build up some protection from a first dose.
But, like all medicines, no vaccine is completely effective.
It is possible that you may still get coronavirus despite being inoculated, but the illness should be less severe.
The UK Government advises that you should continue to take the recommended precautions to avoid becoming reinfected.
