Can Dogs Eat Catnip?
Facebook icon
Twitter icon
Email icon
When you have multiple furry friends in one household, it's not uncommon for one to get a hold of another's toys and treats. Luckily, the curiosity is relatively harmless, and if your dog eats catnip they should be fine.
In fact, a small amount of catnip may even have some health benefits for your canine friend.
What is catnip?
Catnip is a fragrant green leaf that got its name in part because of the way cats respond to it. Catnip contains an oil called nepetalactone that stimulates receptors that give cats feelings of euphoria and happiness when they smell it. This minty plant can be grown in your own home or purchased from pet stores to be sprinkled on the floor, sprayed in a mist or stuffed into cat toys. The behavioral effects of catnip typically lasts about 10-15 minutes for cats.
What happens when dogs smell or eat catnip?
Interestingly, catnip seems to have the opposite effect on dogs that it has on cats. While catnip has a stimulating effect on cats, it has more of a sedative effect on dogs. In fact, it can be used to calm dogs when they are experiencing anxiety, such as on a trip to the vet or during a storm. It may also be able to help dogs sleep more soundly at night and aid in their digestion.
Catnip also contains nutrients including flavonoids, vitamins C and E, tannins and magnesium, which are beneficial for your dog. If you want to give your dog catnip, you can sprinkle a very small amount (⅛ to ½ of a teaspoon) into his or her food. Talk with your veterinarian to determine if and when your dog should be given catnip. In large doses, catnip could have adverse effects on dogs, especially in older animals.
You should also be careful not to give your dog toys with catnip that are designed for cats. These toys often have small parts that dogs may eat and could cause choking or intestinal blockages.

Abarim Publications' online Biblical Greek Dictionary
The ubiquitous preposition συν (sun) expresses a close connection, a joined activity, shared situation or maintained coalition, and can usually be translated as: with or together with. It differs from the preposition μετα (meta) in that the latter expresses a mere proximity while συν (sun) expresses an intimate relation.
Our preposition is frequently used to indicate cooperative bonds in society (sit with, stand with, be with, talk with, walk with, etcetera) but it may also be used to indicate the help, inspiration or instruction from someone (or something). It comes with only the dative case, which suggests that this particle mostly describes about a motion towards unity rather than a motion deriving from unity.
Our particle may express the "seen-from-all-sides" or "on-all-accounts", that is wholesale completion of an activity or process, and may, with verbs that already express completion, hence serve as an intensive.

A panoramic new history of modern Britain, as told through the story of one extraordinary family, and one groundbreaking company.
In the early 1800s, Lehmann Gluckstein and his family escaped the pogroms of Eastern Europe and made their way to Whitechapel in London's East End. There, starting with nothing, they worked tirelessly to pull themselves out of poverty, creating a small tobacco factory that grew to become the largest catering company in the world: J. Lyons.
For over a century, Lyons was on every high street, in every home, in every coffee and teacup. It was an ascent from rags to riches in the face of many obstacles: poverty, hatred and anti-Semitism stood between this poor immigrant family and the British Dream. Legacy charts the rise and fall of one of the most influential dynasties in British history through the lives of five astonishing generations.


Choosing the (right) Number of Fingers
There are four variables to consider when choosing how many fingers your gripper may need.
Choosing the Number of Fingers for Your Soft Robotics Gripper
Please note the below are best practice tips to provide you with the best gripper selection
 1. SIZE: In general, the more fingers you can use to handle your product, the better. In the case of a bagel, a 4 or 5 Finger EOAT is best as all 4/5 will fit around the entire bagel. A pen is a great example of a smaller product that would likely require just 2 Fingers.
 2. SHAPE: If a product has more of a square, or circular form factor an EOAT with between 2 and 5 Fingers would be most effective. A product that has more of a rectangular or elliptical form factor would require between 4 and 6 Fingers.
 3. STRUCTURE: Products such as a pen or a dinner roll have enough structure to support their own weight when grasped and will not collapse when gripped. These products would require fewer Fingers compared to a bag of pretzels, which would require more Fingers to support the collapsible structure of the bagged item.
 4. MASS: If a product has a lower mass, fewer Fingers can be used. As the mass of the product increases, the number of Fingers may also need to increase to support the product.

Design and ASIC Implementation of Root Raised Cosine Filter
Raised cosine filter is a FIR filter that can be used to counter many problems of communication such as the Inter symbol interference. The rectangular pulse occupies a large bandwidth so an alternative to rectangular pulse is a sinc pulse, which reduces the bandwidth and inter symbol interference. The rectangular pulse is passed through the root cosine filter a set of FIR filters to pulse shape the pulses to sinc. The specification of the root raised cosine FIR filter considered in this design is sampling frequency of 15.36 MHz and the cutoff frequency of 1.92 MHz, which is suitable to 3G-WCDMA.

BMC Neurology 2010, 10:12 doi:10.1186/_PHONE_-12Published: 9 February 2010
Use of electronic media, i.e. mobile phones, computers, television, game consoles or listening to music, is very common, especially amongst adolescents. There is currently a debate about whether frequent use of these media might have adverse effects on health, especially on headaches, which are among the most-reported health complaints in adolescents. The aim of the present study was to assess associations between frequent use of electronic media and the prevalence of different types of headache in adolescents.
Data were derived from a population-based sample (n = 1,025, ages 13-17 years). Type of headache (i.e. migraine, tension-type headache, unclassifiable headache) was ascertained by standardized questionnaires for subjects reporting headache episodes at least once per month during the last six months. Duration of electronic media use was assessed during personal interviews. Associations were estimated with logistic regression models adjusted for age group, sex, family condition and socio-economic status.
Most of the adolescents used computers (85%), watched television (90%) or listened to music (90%) daily, otherwise only 23% of the participants used their mobile phones and only 25% played with game consoles on a daily basis. A statistically significant association between listening to music and any headache (odds ratio 1.8; 95% confidence interval 1.1-3.1 for 30 minutes per day, 2.1; 1.2-3.7 for 1 to 2 hours per day; 2.0; 1.2-3.5 for 3 hours and longer listening to music per day) was observed. When stratifying for type of headache, no statistically significant association was seen.
Apart from an association between listening to music on a daily basis and overall headache, no consistent associations between the use of electronic media and different types of headache were observed.

The tikz-external solution
You can use the tikz external library to cache tikz drawings:
Note that the \tikzexternalize command must be given in the main.tex file of the project, for tikz-externalization to work on Overleaf.
You will then need to create a tikz folder in your project. For this to work on Overleaf, the folder you create needs to have a (dummy) file in it—for example, you can add a blank foo.txt file in the tikz folder.
As the externalised tikz PDFs are considered as output files, you will not see them show up in the file list, but they are indeed present within the project. You can view the list of generated files to see them.
Some commands from other packages may cause errors in externalization mode; for example, \includepdf from the pdfpages. To get around this, you will need to "optimise" such commands away:
\tikzexternalize[prefix=tikz/,optimize command away=\includepdf]
There are too many of them!
However, if your drawings are too complex and there are too many of them, you will still get a timeout the first time the externalised files are generated. Building your project incrementally (by commenting different chunks of your project) may help, but bear in mind that all generated files are garbage collected at fixed intervals on the servers. Your project may then fail to compile when you next log in, and you'd have to re-generate them all incrementally again.
Generating the drawings locally
As a workaround, you can generate the files on a local machine first, by downloading your project and compiling it on your own local machine. After the compile completes, you should see the tikz folder containing.pdf,.md5,.dpth and.dpth files for each of your tikz drawings. If you then upload these files to your Overleaf project's tikz folder, your project will then use these files directly, and compilation should be fairly fast. These files won't be deleted by the server, as uploaded file are never garbage-collected.
A caveat: if you change your tikz code in future, you may have to delete the corresponding files in the tikz folder first, so that Overleaf can generate and use a new version. Alternatively, you can re-generate the files on your machine, and re-upload them to Overleaf. Remember that you need to replace all the.pdf,.md5,.dep and.dpth for that particular tikz drawing. On Overleaf v2, these files must be prefixed with output, instead of the filename of your.tex.
Generating the drawings in a separate project
Alternatively you can create a separate project that just contains the figure(s), you can include the output of the figure in your original project by clicking on the "Upload files" icon above the file list panel, and then choosing From another project. Select the project containing the tikz drawings, and then the select from output files option.
That way, you only have to compile the complicated figure once, and then you can include the resulting pdf as a normal figure with \includegraphics[page=1]{drawings.pdf} in your main project.
The separate project containing the tikz drawings can use the standalone or preview package, to produce output PDFs that are tightly cropped.

Store Observations
Consumers don't look at and respond to brands in the same way as marketers. They seldom openly articulate a brand's importance in their daily lives. But if you ask them in the right way about their thoughts, feelings and associations with the products they buy, the response can be surprising.
Research confirms what marketers have always suspected–most consumers shop on auto-pilot—and breaking through the clutter of habitual pathways is a never-ending challenge. Store observation is key to shopper research, as 'what shoppers say' is not always 'what shoppers do'. In-store decisions are largely physiological: shoppers honestly don't know how and why they made decisions, rather, it is driven by what they see in their trips down the aisle.
What we measure
Nielsen's extensive experience in qualitative research will help you deliver critical consumer insights to set you on the path to brand success. Our techniques will uncover why individual consumers shop as they do across a whole range of occasions and provide you with a richer understanding of shopper behaviour and category dynamics in-store.
How we do it
Our qualitative professionals are drawn from a wide range of backgrounds–some with marketing and advertising experience, others from specialties such as psychology and linguistics—but all with a diverse range of skills and perspectives.
Using our cognitive shopper interviewing techniques we can reveal why shoppers do the things they do and help you:
 - Uncover the factors that can be influenced to enhance or change behaviours.
 - Identify the key attributes considered/used in store choice and in the navigation of categories in-store.
 - Understand the impact of different in-store stimuli on purchase decisions.
 - Create perceived category segmentation based on the shopper's point of view.
Armed with this information, you can answer the following business issues to help with your category planning:
 - How do shoppers define and segment the category?
 - Where should the category be placed in-store and what other categories should be adjacent?
 - How do shoppers interact with the category/products and how satisfying is the category shopping experience?
 - How should the category be merchandised in-store?
 - What are the most effective in-store marketing tactics for the category?

Paintballs Can Cause 'Devastating' Eye Injuries
Eye protection can prevent nearly all injuries, reports study in American Journal of Ophthalmology
Philadelphia, 15 January 2009 – Paintballs can cause severe and 'visually devastating' eye injuries, especially when used in unsupervised settings without proper eye protection, reports a study in the February issue of the American Journal of Ophthalmology, published by Elsevier.
"Eye injuries secondary to high-velocity paintballs can cause tremendous damage to vital ocular structures often requiring extensive surgical intervention," comments Dr. Kyle J. Alliman of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. "Unfortunately, visual loss is often permanent."
Dr. Alliman and colleagues analyzed the characteristics and outcomes of 36 patients treated for paintball injuries to the eye at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute between 1998 and 2005. The patients were mainly young men, average age 21 years.
The injuries were often quite severe, including rupture of the eyeball in 28 percent of patients and detached retina in 19 percent. Surgery was required in 81 percent of patients—including eventual removal of the eye (enucleation) in 22 percent. Even when the eye was saved, many patients had permanent visual loss. Overall, near-normal vision (20/40 or better) was restored in only 36 percent of eyes.
All of the patients were injured when using paintballs in a "non-recreational, uncontrolled setting," according to Dr. Alliman. None of the injuries occurred in formal, sponsored event. In all but one of the 36 cases, the patient was not wearing any type of eye protection when the injury occurred.
Paintball has become a popular recreational activity, with an estimated 10 million participants in the United States alone. The risk of paintball-related eye injuries has long been recognized. Organizers of formal paintball games require eye protection and education, which has significantly reduced the risk of severe eye injuries.
The researchers hope their study will draw attention to the alarming frequency of serious eye injuries related to paintballs, including the potential for permanent visual loss. "Awareness of the severe nature of paintball-related eye injury is paramount," says Dr. Alliman.
The new analysis suggests that severe paintball-related eye injuries are most likely to occur when paintballs are used in informal, uncontrolled settings. "Both the consumer and distributor alike must realize the seriousness of injury caused by the improper use of paintballs in order to implement effective precautionary strategies," Dr. Alliman adds. "Eye protection can prevent over 97 percent of injuries."

TIP #229: Scripted Control of Name Resolution in Namespaces
Title:Scripted Control of Name Resolution in Namespaces
Version:$Revision: 1.10 $
Created:Wednesday, 03 November 2004
This TIP proposes extensions to the namespace command to allow scripts to control how individual namespaces map names to commands.
Tcl has, for historic reasons, attracted many different styles of object system, and a favoured mechanism for implementing objects is on top of namespaces (which were introduced in Tcl 8.0 based on work done previously in [incr Tcl]). However, a common problem that these OO systems face is the inability to make namespaces efficiently map names of entities within classes etc. into the object instances. This TIP provides a simple mechanism for doing this.
No mechanism is provided for affecting the resolving of variable names. Best practice is to ensure that variables not present in the current namespace are imported explicitly through the upvar or variable commands (depending on context) and the fact that there is any possibility of non-local variable name resolution has been behind a number of bugs in the core (e.g. Bug #981733).
Proposed Change
Namespace Path Subcommand
The namespace command will gain a new subcommand, path, with the following syntax:
namespace path?list?
This command sets and queries the current namespace's command name resolution path. If list is present, namespace path sets the path to the list of namespaces named in the list and returns the empty string; all the namespaces must exist or an error is thrown. If no list argument is provided, namespace path doesn't change anything and returns the current path.
Updates to Other Commands
The info commands command shall be updated so that, when no namespace is present in its pattern part, it shall return all (matching) commands that are visible without namespace qualifiers at this point. The info procs command will not be so modified.
Name Path Behaviour
Only names without a leading namespace separator in them are resolved using the namespace's path. When resolving command names, resolving relative to the current namespace is always preferred (unless a resolver is installed, of course), and resolution relative to the global namespace is always done after resolving relative to everything in the path (unless the global namespace is explicitly in the path, when it happens earlier). This means that the old behaviour is exactly what you get when the path is empty, and also ensures that virtually all scripts continue to work when a path is set; if it was possible to remove the global namespace from the actual path (as opposed to the settable part), virtually all scripts would break. If an extension installs a custom name resolver, that completely overrides the command name resolution path mechanism (to maximize backward-compatability; it is not anticipated that much code will try to mix the two mechanisms in a namespace).
Note that each namespace's path is isolated from the path of every other namespace, including the parent namespace. Systems using the namespace path mechanism as part of an implementation of inheritance will want to set up the path for each object namespace explicitly (this value can be statically precomputed on a per-class basis); indeed, where multiple inheritance is involved it will probably be more efficient to compute the path than let Tcl guess.
The path is parsed completely at the time the namespace path command is run, and the resulting list of namespaces is used directly. If a namespace on some namespaces' path is deleted, it is immediately excised from the path of every namespace that refers to it.
The following script returns "::foo":
namespace eval ::foo {
 proc boo {} {namespace current}
 namespace eval bar {
 namespace path ::foo
The following script return "::foo::bar":
namespace eval ::foo {
 proc boo {} {namespace current}
 namespace eval bar {
 proc boo {} {namespace current}
 namesspace eval spong {
 namespace path ::foo
A patch is available[1].

Curving Ergo Crosswalk
Can tweaking the design of a common pedestrian crossing result in fewer accidents?
One of the shortlisted entries in the Seoul International Design Competition 2010 that stood out was the 'Ergo Crosswalk' by Korean designer Jae Min Lim. In his project, Jae tweaks the traditional shapes of Zebra crossing into curves to reflect how people jaywalk on roads.
He believes that by carving out a wider road area, there will be fewer accidents involving pedestrians. Moreover, the Zebra stripes will have built-in LEDs that glow red or green to indicate when it is safe for people to cross. The designer says:
"When people cross roads, they tend to take the fastest shortcut. they sometimes do it intentionally, but mostly it is an unconscious act. this kind of action violates the traffic regulations and sometimes threatens the safety of the pedestrians. The 'ergo crosswalk' is a design that makes people follow the law, as well as consider their habits or
unconscious actions. it will encourage pedestrians to follow the lines of the cross walk and protect them
from any potential danger. If regulations cannot force people to follow the law, wouldn't it be more reasonable to
change the law and fulfill the main purpose of keeping the safety and convenience of the pedestrian…"

Student Funding Board
Harvard Law School
The task of the Student Funding Board is to distribute funding among student organizations with widely divergent aims and interests. Each year HLS organizations collectively request nearly twice as much funding as is available. This year – with the economy in its current state, and with more student organizations and the same amount in the overall budget – the task will be particularly difficult. While the specific balance of funding priorities changes each year depending upon the membership of the SFB, the key considerations remain largely constant. These guidelines are issued to make the funding process more transparent.
The SFB encourages organizations to work together on similar projects and to ensure that a wide range of activities and organizations are funded; organizations and events that overlap significantly are funded on the assumption that they will co-sponsor some events. The SFB attempts to fund diverse views and student populations to ensure that the HLS is a welcoming and interesting community. Organization size is also a significant consideration for funding determinations to ensure that various populations and interest groups have adequate funds given the size of their constituencies. The SFB believes that open membership policies encourage campus involvement and dialogue; exclusive and limited membership policies are viewed unfavorably.
Funding Principles
In evaluating allocation requests, the Student Funding Board shall consider the following principles. Although none are requirements, the Board shall look positively upon requesting organizations that advance these principles.
Diversity and Inclusion
Actively promotes diversity and inclusion on campus and beyond through its activities and policies.
Community Service
Participates in community service and volunteer work.
Skill Acquisition
Develops lasting skills for participants and members, including, but not limited to, advocacy, writing, speaking, or negotiating. Ideal skill acquisition involves actively applying skills, rather than passively absorbing knowledge or activities primarily for recreation.
Accessibility to Students
Proactively works to ensure that its activities are open and accessible to all students, and that they are well publicized to the entire law school community.
Responsible Fund Management
Has demonstrated the responsible management of its funds from past years, has robust fund management practices in place, and has demonstrated rigorous planning for its activities.
Alternative Funding Sources
Has sought and received alternative sources of funding to support itself. Alternative sources of funding are looked more favorably upon if they are used to support the organization's activities rather than held in reserve.
Has a demonstrable track record of collaboration for its activities in the past, and has concrete plans or secured agreements to collaborate for future activities.
Evidence of Effectiveness
Collects and implements evidence that its activities are effective. Evidence can include, but is not limited to, levels of attendance, feedback from participants, or frugality of purchases.


What Is Scalping?
Definition & Examples of Scalping
Day trader considers his options for using a scalping technique
Tetra Images / Getty Images
Scalping is a short-term trading strategy that emphasizes profiting from the volume of trades placed, rather than focusing on maximizing the capital gains on each trade.
Learn how scalping can be used to collect significant profits through many small-profit trades.
What Is Scalping?
Scalping represents the shortest-term trading style—even shorter than some other forms of day trading. It got its name because traders who adopt the style—known as scalpers—quickly enter and exit the market to skim small profits off of a large number of trades throughout the trading day. Ideally, these small profits ultimately add up to what the trader would've earned making a single, more profitable day trade.
How Does Scalping Work?
Scalpers believe that it's easier and less risky from a market volatility perspective to profit from small moves in stock prices rather than taking the risk of relying on large moves. This involves setting tight trading windows, both in terms of price movement and timeframe.
Scalping comes with the opportunity cost of bigger gains, so it requires discipline. Scalpers get out of trades once the profit target has been hit, rather than waiting to see if they can earn more. The same goes for exiting trades when the predetermined loss level has been hit, rather than waiting to see if the trade turns around. If you would struggle with accepting those opportunity costs, then scalping might not be for you.
Market Analysis for Scalping
Traders who adopt this investment style rely on technical analysis as opposed to fundamentals analysis. Technical analysis is a type of market analysis that focuses on a security's past price movements, usually with the help of charts and other data analysis tools. With historical price information in hand, scalpers can observe daily time and sales patterns and predict the security's future movements—setting up support and resistance levels based on moving averages and using them to enter and exit trades.
In contrast, fundamental analysis usually involves using a company's financial statements, discounted cash flow modeling, and other tools to assess a company's intrinsic value. Understanding the actual worth of a company can help traders manage risk and exit long positions at the right time.
Fundamental analysis is more suitable for long-term investing, while technical analysis works better for short-term strategies like scalping.
Scalpers may trade on news or events that drastically affect a company's value immediately after its release. In some cases, they use short-term changes in fundamental ratios to scalp trades, but they focus mostly on technical charts. Since these charts indicate what occurred in the past, they lose value as the time horizon increases, which makes technical analysis more suitable for the short-term nature of scalping.
Scalpers can be either discretionary or systematic traders. Discretionary scalpers quickly make each trading decision based on market conditions, and it is up to the trader to decide the parameters of each trade (timing, profit targets, etc.). Systematic scalpers rely little on their own instinct and instead create computer programs that automate scalping strategies and conduct trades without individual trading decisions. When the program sees a trading opportunity, it makes a trade without waiting for the trader to assess the particular details of that trade.
Discretionary scalping introduces bias into the trading process that can pose a risk. Emotions may tempt you to make an ill-advised trade or fail to take action at the appropriate time. Systematic scalping, in contrast, provides virtually no human control over trading decisions, which makes it unbiased.
Scalping vs. Day Trading
Scalping vs. Day Trading
Scalping Day Trading
Is always a day trade May or may not use scalping tactics
Positions are often held for a matter of seconds, rather than hours Positions can be held as long as the markets are open on a given day
Often automated using systematic trading systems May use either systematic or discretionary trading strategies
Day trading and scalping are similar concepts but they aren't necessarily describing the same thing. Scalping is always a form of day trading, but not all forms of day trading are considered scalping.
Day trading positions can be kept open as long as the markets are open. A day trader could open a position right when markets open at 9:30 a.m. EST and then close it right before markets close at 4 p.m. That would still technically be a day trade, even though the position was held open for more than six hours. A scalper, on the other hand, rarely holds a position open for more than a few minutes. Usually, a scalper's timeframe can be measured in seconds.
To operate within such small timeframes, scalpers often use computer programs that automate these trades. A day trader who uses longer-term strategies may be less likely to use these kinds of automated programs, though they may choose to use them, as well.
Key Takeaways
 - Scalping is a day trading strategy that involves making many small-profit trades rather than fewer large-profit trades.
 - Scalping is one of the shortest-term trading strategies, and many positions last only seconds or minutes.
 - Scalping requires discipline—once a set profit or loss has been reached, the scalper needs to exit the trade.
 - Some scalpers use their own discretion to place trades while others create computer programs that automate their trading strategies.

Of Roman Gods and Financial Reform
Janus and the Dodd-Frank Act: Looking back, looking forward
In Roman mythology, Janus is the god with two faces. One face looks backward, the other into the future, a duality that neatly serves our consideration of the range of views expressed about the Dodd-Frank Act (the Act) passed one year ago. The enormous and far-reaching act has been loved and loathed from the moment it was conceived to today. Its place in history is a matter of opinion; its impact a matter of intense debate.
In this paper we use the Janus principle – we look back over the last year and forward into the future from three very different perspectives:
- The banks and financial institutions, which are subject to the Act
- The regulators, who must implement it
- The consumers of financial services, who face big changes in the future
To put it mildly, it is a very complicated story with multiple and overlapping narratives. As we try to show in this paper, opinions vary across a wide range. We have tried to reflect that range by dividing the discussion into something like a Socratic debate – at each point, we hear from those voices representing different opinions as they set out their positions.

Green licens
Green salmon licens aim to improve the industry's environmental work and are given to companies that work to solve environmental challenges. This means that the company has some self-imposed criteria that have been accepted as innovative. The goal here is to reduce louse pressures and other environmental challenges. In 2014, Salaks AS was awarded a green license, where the most important measure here was to launch large-smolt in the sea.
Traditionally, smolt has been put out in the sea when they are 70-100 grams, where the production time in the sea is 15-18 months. By building a new recycling plant that produces 250 grams of smolt, we can reduce the production time in the sea by 6-8 months. We will, with the help of new technology, move the first phase of salmon's life into the sea on land. By doing this, we reduce production time on sea. In addition, it is possible to reduced mortality in the sea phase, a 250 grams smolt is more robust and equipped for seawater phase than a 70-100 grams smolt. The bilogic pressure on the sea is reduced. The time when the fish can be exposed to louse is reduced, and we ca avoid some technical operations in the sea, which involves moving fish from smolt bag to bigfish bag. Overall, a risk reduction, based on a principle that every day and operation involves risk. The new recycling plant is being built and completed in the summer of 2017 at Salangsverket, in Salangen. The plant has a price tag of 300 million NOK, and is going to produce six million 250 grams smolt.

Why Do People Enjoy Q?
Why do people like mathematics?
This can be a question that has puzzled mathematicians and researchers. No body has come up with a definitive answer yet, although All of them think they have the clear answer. There really are some matters we could study on the study of why folks like math.
To begin with, they enjoy mathematics, should you inquire a math student, they are going to essay paper ordinarily say that it is just plain pleasure. countless skilled mathematicians who've studied math for years have impressed students. It creates them feel as they are doing some thing that makes a gap in modern society.
Some students also love math because it helps them to discover the beauty of numbers. They have found that if they can find connections between different numbers, then they can connect things like colors, numbers, relationships and more. They use numbers to connect to the world around them. Numbers also make them feel like pay for essay they are on the right track.
If a student will not be able to explain what makes them like mathematics, then they may think that they are not good at it. Some pupils take extra lessons to get better grades. Other individuals elect to perform mathematics or other courses simply to impress their educators. Some college students come to be fanatical about making certain that they're good at all they do, including the things that they do not enjoy.
Finally, some students love math because it helps them learn what they need to know for life. If they don't like math, then they might not know what they need to know. Math helps students _URL_ to understand how to balance their lives and lead a fulfilled life.
Is the fact that mathematics is loved by every one, however some such as it others. Because they enjoy looking at amounts, some are like me and enjoy mathematics. The others just love numbers and their perfect variety.
If you find you like mathematics instead of just numbers, then you'll like it. Make sure you believe about why you like math therefore that you are able to improve at it.
The answer to the inquiry,"Why would people enjoy mathematics?" Could surprise you.


Ferret Behaviors: What You Need to Know
11 December, 2018
Ferrets have been recently introduced to people's homes as pets. They stand out because they're small, social, and fun mammals. If you're thinking about adding one to your family, then you can read this article to learn everything you need to know about ferret behavior.
Ferret behaviors
Even though right now ferrets are pets, in a lot of places they are used for hunting. Their specialty is rabbits because their body allows them to easily enter their dens.
Therefore, you should keep in mind that even though they're social and loving animals, a few generations ago they were hunting animals. Ferrets have a lot of instincts that are related to their past job or life in the wild. This is true even though they live in people's homes.
A lot of the behavioral traits of ferrets are intimately related to their past life. If you let them fulfill their instinctual needs, even as a household pet, they'll be much happier and will have fewer behavioral issues.
Behavioral needs of Ferrets
Despite their size, ferrets are very active and energetic animals. Therefore, the first step to making your ferret happier is to let them exercise. This means both in their cage and around the house. The perfect cage for ferrets is one with several levels and a lot of space so they can move.
Ferret walking loose inside its home
That being said, ferrets get rid of a lot of energy by playing. If they have other ferret friends at home, they will play among themselves. If not, they will look for humans to take part in their games.
Either way, they need games to keep themselves entertained. Balls, strings hanging from their cage, baby toys, and long tunnels they can run through are some of the toys they usually to enjoy the most.
In contrast to their boundless energy, ferrets need to sleep for several hours. Some sleep so deeply they appear to be dead. You should provide them with sheltered cozy areas in their cage so that they can rest peacefully and wake up completely recharged.
Another one of the behavioral traits of ferrets their tremendous curiosity. Ferrets tend to scan their surroundings and explore everything. They will try to put their head in all the bags you bring home. They'll also explore every corner of your house. Be sure that your house is safe so they don't hurt themselves during their adventures.
Ferret antics
Even though people react badly toward the ferret behaviors, making mischief is part of their nature. Ferrets need to eat several times per day with several small portions. Therefore, when their plate is full, the first thing they do is hide part of the food around the house. This behavior lets them feel sure they'll have food for the rest of the day.
Ferrets love sleeping in boxes
However, they don't just steal food. They're attracted to shiny, metallic objects and rubber. If you're missing things at home like pens, erasers, or keys, it's likely that your ferret has hidden them in one of their secret hiding places. They don't do it to be mean. It's another one of their instincts.
Ferrets can get a bit rough playing among themselves. They tend to bite when they play. However, they don't hurt each other. When they bite your hands and feet, it can be annoying., but this doesn't mean that ferrets are aggressive or that they are trying to hurt you. They're just playing.
Training ferrets
Like with any animal, you can teach ferrets to behave better. You need to do this while keeping their boundaries and instincts in mind. It's very likely that you'll never get them to stop stealing your keys and money.
Ferrets are easily startled. When this happens, they are impossible to catch. That's why using punishment as a training method is useless. On the other hand, training them to behave well or perform tricks through positive reinforcement will give you quick positive results.
Reward your ferret when they do something good. When they play without hurting you, when they're curious without breaking things, or when they decide not to steal your keys. This reward can be a box or simply praising them.
Ignore their bad behavior. Interrupt their play if they're hurting you or take away their toys if they're destroying them or using them badly. Ferrets are smart, intelligent animals that will quickly find out you'll give them a treat if they behave.
Ferrets are fun and energetic animals. If you want to add a ferret into your family, keep in mind that you'll have to play with them a lot so that they will be happy. Also, they will become more active and a little bit noisier during the evening. The rest of the time, you can enjoy having a fun and loving mammal.

KCMMB Concrete and Bridge Decks
Research performed by the University of Kansas in conjunction with many state DOTs indicates bridge decks should be treated differently than other outdoor concrete applications. Because of the importance of bridges to transportation and the difficulty caused by repair or replacement of bridges the KCMMB recommends that all mix designs for bridge decks be prepared by the consultant responsible for design of the structure. It should also be noted that the life of the bridge deck is not only influenced by the concrete mix design but also the construction of the deck.
As an example of a procedure for bridge deck design and construction the following links have been provided. These links are for a series of Kansas Department of Transportation Special Provisions for the design and construction of bridge decks. These Special Provisions are the result of joint research done by the University of Kansas and KDOT.

SCP from local to remote
If you ever find yourself needing to move files or folders from your local machine up to a remote server, you can do so using the SCP command. Your remote server will need to have your public key and then you can run the following command:
scp root@
In the command above, after the scp command you will then pass the file you with to move to your remote server.
After the file you will specify the user@ip_address, then add a :, and the location of where you want to move that file on the server /var/www
If you wish to move a folder recursively up to your server you will want to pass the -r flag like so:
scp -r folder_name root@

Remember the trees in the last Concept? Well, Kelly wrote down a pattern of numbers and in the last Concept you figured out a rule for the pattern. Let's look at the pattern again and the rule for the pattern.
This pattern has a rule. This rule is that the two previous numbers add together to equal the next number. Given this information, what is the next number in the pattern?
When you extend number patterns, you can use the rule to figure out the next numbers in the sequence. In this Concept you will learn how to do this, then you can figure out the next few values in this pattern.
Once you have figured out a pattern rule it is easy to use that rule to extend the pattern. Extending a pattern involves writing the numbers that come next in the pattern according to the rule.
Find the next term in the following pattern: 3, 6, 9, 12, ____
First, notice that this is an ascending pattern meaning that it will involve addition, multiplication or both.
What is the relationship between these numbers? How were they increased?
If you think about this question, you can see that each number was increased by adding three.
To extend the pattern, we simply add three to the last number in the sequence.
12 + 3 = 15
Our answer is 15.
Sometimes we need to extend patterns in other ways too. Remember how we used a variable to create an expression which described the pattern rule? We can use these expressions to extend number patterns. Sometimes, a table called a function table can help us organize our values as we extend the pattern. A function is a set of ordered pairs in which each element of the domain (x) has only one element associated with it in the range (y).
Let's apply this information to one of the patterns from the first section. Our pattern was 1, 3, 11, 43 and the pattern rule was 4x - 1. If y is the next number in the pattern, then we can write the expression y = 4x - 1.
Let's organize these values into a table.
y = 4x - 1
position x y
1st 1 3
2nd 3 11
3rd 11 43
4th 43 171
5th 171
Notice how x is the number in the pattern and y is the next number in the pattern. Theoretically, any number could be x, but for the purposes of extending a numerical pattern, x has to be the last number in the pattern. When the number 43 is entered into the equation as the value for x, the value of y is 171. 171 is the 5th number in the pattern.
Sometimes using a table can be helpful and other times it can be confusing. As long as you understand the pattern rule, you can extend the pattern by applying the rule.
Sometimes, you need to extend rule by looking far out into the future.
What is the seventh number in the sequence: 1, 3, 9, 27, = ____
First, let's figure out the rule. This is an ascending sequence so it uses addition, multiplication or both. The rule in this case is \times \ 3. Using the rule we can write the following expression y=3x.
Next we can organize this information into a table.
x y
1 3
3 9
9 27
27 81
81 243

Example B
3, 10, 31, ___, ___
Solution: 94, 283
Example C
4, 17, 56, ____, ____
Solution: 173, 524
Now let's go back to the trees.
You just finished learning all about patterns. What is the rule for the Fibonacci pattern of numbers that Sara and Kelly are using?
If you look you can see that the two previous numbers add together to equal the next number. This is the rule. Given this information, what is the next number in the pattern?
8 + 13 = 21
What is the next one after that?
13 + 21 = 34
By continuing to use this rule, you can continue to extend the numerical pattern.
Here are the vocabulary words in this Concept.
a sequence of number or geometric figures that repeats according to a pattern unit or a rule.
Algebraic Thinking
thinking in a mathematical way
Numerical Patterns
number patterns that are organized in a sequence according to a rule.
Ascending Pattern
a pattern that increases
Descending Pattern
a pattern that decreases
a letter used to represent an unknown quantity
combines variables, numbers and operations but does not equal anything because the variables can have different values.
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
Extend the following pattern.
24, 14, 9, ____, ____
To figure out this rule, we have to examine the operations done to each value to get to the next value.
In this example, each value was divided by 2. Then we added two to each value to get the next.
The rule is y = \frac{x}{2} + 2.
We can determine that the next two values are 4.5 and 2.25.
This is our answer.

A mountain cereal
Rye is by definition a mountain cereal, the only one that can be cultivated at high altitude – traditionally up to 2,200 metres in the Findelen region (Zermatt). It is from its cultivation that the ancestral Valais tradition of daily consumption of meals based on rye bread is founded. This tradition was dictated by the difficult climatic conditions and the nomadic lifestyle of almost total self sufficiency of the old mountain farming world.
However, due to very low prices, rye production dropped significantly in the Valais until 1998.
The AOC Valais rye bread
In this context, the application to obtain an "Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée" designation for Valais rye bread, is an operation to ensure the survival of rye production in Valais. In fact, only rye produced in the canton of Valais can be used in the making of Valais rye bread.
Rye production enables economic activity to continue and the dispersed occupation of the territory to be maintained in mountain areas. Its cultivation contributes to the safeguarding of the traditional landscapes, typified by mosaics formed by small parcels of land, as well the Valais heritage together with the maintenance of activities among which are old mills and communal ovens.

Mechanical Processing after Carburizing Treatment of Drop Forging
In order to achieve high surface hardness and surface roughness, improve fatigue strength, and meet working performance of drop forgings, Mechanical processing will be operated after carburizing treatment. The mechanical processing after carburizing treatment is generally as follows:
1) Machining
The surface carbon content after carburizing is high, and after heat treatment, the surface of drop forged blanks will exsit a large amount of residual austenite, easy to form grinding cracks, such as burns and crack, in the process of grinding. Besides, grinding crack can also produce if there is thick carbide, carbide network or carbide film. So in the process of Mechanical Processing, we should refer to the technical requirements of carburizing forgings, choose the correct process parameters according to the specific characteristics. This will help improve the quality of the drop forgings, and can guide the actual machining.
2) Shot blasting
Shot blast the carburized drop forgings into shot blasting machines, pill granule will impact the products with high speed of 50 ~ 70 m/s after a certain period of time, on the surface depth range of 0.1 ~ 0. 25 mm, drop forgings will win the uniform cold work hardening layer, thus to improve the hardnss of forging surface. Its effect has a direct relationship with the original organization of material surface. There will be obvious hardening effect if the surface has redundant residual austenite organization after quenching. Once appear carbide network on the surface, it will cause the emergence of surface crack, therefore, there is a strict control and requirements on the quenching organization of carburized forging surface.
3) Rolling or polishing
To improve the fatigue life, and the strengthening effect of drop forging surface, except for shot blasting processing, drop forgings can also be rolled or polished processing, namely rolling or rolling friction polishing. It is a kind of cold work hardening and strengthening technologies on the surface, which has the following features:
a) Improving surface hardness, change the size and distribution of residual stresses.
b) Improve surface finish of drop forgings.
c) Increase bending fatigue strength and touching fatigue strength.

Objective: This study developed an animal model of intracranial aneurysms suitable for evaluating emerging endovascular devices for aneurysmal therapy. We characterized the short-, medium-, and long-term attributes of this endovascular technique for saccular aneurysmal creation in the rabbit.
Materials and methods: The right common carotid artery was surgically exposed in nine New Zealand white rabbits. Using endovascular techniques, we occluded the origin of the right common carotid artery with a pliable balloon. Elastase was incubated endoluminally in the proximal common carotid artery above the balloon. The common carotid artery was ligated distally. Animals were studied angiographically and sacrificed at 2 weeks (n = 3), 10 weeks (n = 3), and 24 weeks (n = 3) after aneurysm creation. Histology was obtained.
Results: Saccular aneurysms formed in eight of the nine rabbits. The aneurysm projected from the apex of an approximately 90 degree curve of the parent vessel, the brachiocephalic artery. Mean aneurysm diameter was 4.5 mm (SD, 1.2 mm), and mean height was 7.5 mm (SD, 1.6 mm). All samples showed thinned elastic lamina and no evidence of inflammation. In four of eight aneurysms, unorganized thrombus was present in the dome of the aneurysm.
Conclusion: Arterial aneurysms with intact endothelium and deficient elastic lamina were reliably created in an area of high shear stress in New Zealand white rabbits. Three of these aneurysms remained patent for at least 6 months. We found a simple procedure that can be readily applied to the testing of new endovascular devices for a reliable creation of aneurysms in rabbits.

The essence of interdependence involves autonomy, differentiation, and emergency. Two or more autonomous elements interacting, differentiating their states with respect to each other, to create some combined organization that is greater than any of the parts, through the process of emergence. Interdependence is one of the central concepts within systems theory in that most definitions for a system involve the idea of interdependency between a set of parts. Indeed the idea of interdependency is often the central concept that is used to define a system, in that without interdependency between parts there is no system just a set of independent elements.


What is a Spindle Tree?
The Spindle Tree in the story is very old, growing in the old cemetery encircling the Wilson Mausoleum. In fact, the Spindle Tree whose Latin name is Euonymous Europeum is native to Europe and is found also in England, Wales and Ireland. It can grow very high as it gets older and is very inconspicuous in the hedgerow. It has small tiny green flowers in May, but it comes into its own in the Autumn when its leaves turn a bright red and its beautiful coral pink berries open up to reveal a bright yellow hard seed within. It is native to Ireland and it grows in mainly chalky or lime-laden soil. Its seeds are poisonous and can cause kidney or liver failure if ingested.
It was known in folk medicine as the louse berry as the seeds were dried, crushed into a powder and used to prevent lice, fleas, and ticks on farm animals as well as dogs and cats. It's long hard sticks were shaped and used as knitting needles, as skewers for meat by butchers and as seen from its more common name, it was used to make spindles for spindle trees. In more recent times it has become popular in gardens, because of its rich Autumn displays of colour. When it was introduced to North America, it has become an invasive species in some areas.

Typewritten page of canary onionskin, 1912. Note the translucency in the upper right corner, where the red library stamp on the transverse is visible.
Onionskin or onion skin is a thin, light-weight, strong, often translucent paper. Not made from onions, it is named for their thin, papery skins which it superficially resembles. It was usually used with carbon paper for typing duplicates in a typewriter, for permanent records where low bulk was important, or for airmail correspondence.[1] It typically has a 9-pound basis weight, and may be white or canary-colored.
In the typewriter era, onion skin often had a deeply textured cockle finish which allowed for easier erasure of typing mistakes, but other glazed and unglazed finishes were also available then and may be more common today.
Onionskin paper is relatively durable and lightweight due to its high content of cotton fibers. Because of these attributes and its crispness when folding, onionskin paper is one of the best papers to use for toy kites and advanced paper airplanes. Paper airplanes made from onionskin paper tend to fly very well due to their low weight and high integrity once folded.

Interactive paper tearing
We propose an efficient method to model paper tearing in the context of interactive modeling. The method uses geometrical information to automatically detect potential starting points of tears. We further introduce a new hybrid geometrical and physical-based method to compute the trajectory of tears while procedurally synthesizing high resolution details of the tearing path using a texture based approach. The results obtained are compared with real paper and with previous studies on the expected geometric paths of paper that tears. Keywords: paper tearing, virtual paper, developable surfaces, modelling, animation.

Re: how main() is called in C programme
chang wrote:
I am working in C from past few months. Still now i can't
figure out who is called main() in 'C' programme?
Main() is a function from that we can call our sunroutines but someone
has to call this Main() and it will return to whom and in runtime
this Main() is stored/runnng exactly where in the memroy?
I will appreciate if someone help me to figure it out.
Under "hosted" systems the so-called "host environment" is responsible
for invoking main (note: C is case sensitive. main and Main are
different identifiers). When the program is done control is given back
to the host environment in a implementation defined fashion. One common
candidate for the host environment is the operating system. Examples
are Linux, Solaris, Windows, DOS etc.
Things are often very different for the so-called "freestanding"
systems. Here the program entry point need not be named main at all.
Also very often there is no host environment. The program is directly
invoked by the hardware and normally terminates only when the device is
switched off. Under such environments of course it might not make sense
to return from the main function (or whatever it's called) or to invoke
exit, _Exit or similar.
Details of course vary enormously. Some embedded systems do have
complete operating systems and allow execution of normal hosted C
programs. Note that the host software itself is a (if written in C)
freestanding program.
The details of how exactly control is given to a hosted C program and
what happens after such a program terminates are *very* system
dependent. It will vary depending on the processor, operating system
and your C implementation.
Often the case is that your C compiler will prefix your program with a
small amount of code which is called by the host system when your
program is run. This code may do various housekeeping duties like
opening the predefined streams (stdin, stdout and stderr), initialising
the malloc subsystem, setting up the commandline arguments to main,
setting up default signal handlers, setting your default locale and
other such tasks before invoking main as a normal function call.
Similarly when your program terminates control may be passed to code
that's linked in with your program by the compiler. This often resides
in implementation defined functions called by exit. Often this is the
function _Exit. It closes open streams, flushes unwritten output and
calls any functions registered with atexit before transferring control
back to the host environment, usually through a system call.
Please ask in a system specific group like comp.unix.programmer or for more details. Also reading the
source for a C library implementation like glibc might be illuminating.
The terms used in this post like hosted, freestanding etc. are all
defined in the ISO standard for C, a public draft of which can be

Environmental watering in 2011-12
3.9 gigalitres of Commonwealth environmental water was made available to provide flows through Muggabah Creek near Booligal in the Lachlan catchment.
These environmental flows were delivered between August and November 2011, along with an additional 1.3 gigalitres supplied by the New South Wales Government. This action built on previous environmental watering activities in the Merrimajeel system and has taken advantage of 2010-11 inflows. In addition, the action aimed to improve system connectivity, support wetland vegetation and provide habitat for bird species. Observations in January 2012 indicate that native vegetation has responded well and has provided improved habitat for a wide range of water birds including glossy ibis and egrets.
The action was developed by working with the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage and the Lachlan Riverine Working Group.
4.9 gigalitres of Commonwealth environmental water was delivered to Merrimajeel Creek. Delivery of this water for the environment was carried out from June 2011 to September 2011 and was delivered with 2.5 gigalitres from the New South Wales Government.
The purpose of the watering action was to improve system connectivity, support habitat for a wide variety of wetland dependent species, including threatened species and migratory birds. Reported observations after the water delivery indicated the presence of a range of water birds including egrets, spoonbills, shelducks and swans, along with positive vegetation responses.
The watering action was managed in cooperation with the New South Wales Office of Environment and Heritage, New South Wales Office of Water, State Water and Lachlan Riverine Working Group, as well as landholders and community members.

Coupled cells with internal symmetry.1. Wreath products
UNSPECIFIED. (1996) Coupled cells with internal symmetry.1. Wreath products. NONLINEARITY, 9 (2). pp. 559-574. ISSN 0951-7715Full text not available from this repository.
In this paper and its sequel we study arrays of coupled identical cells that possess a 'global' symmetry group g, and in which the cells possess their own 'internal' symmetry group L. We focus on general existence conditions for symmetry-breaking steady-state and Hopf bifurcations. The global and internal symmetries can combine in two quite different ways, depending on how the internal symmetries affect the coupling. Algebraically, the symmetries either combine to give the wreath product L (sic) g of the two groups or the direct product L x g. Here we develop a theory for the wreath product: we analyse the direct product case in the accompanying paper (henceforth referred to as II).
The wreath product case occurs when the coupling is invariant under internal symmetries. The main objective of the paper is to relate the patterns of steady-state and Hopf bifurcation that occur in systems with the combined symmetry group L (sic) g to the corresponding bifurcations in systems with symmetry L or g. This organizes the problem by reducing it to simpler questions whose answers can often be read off from known results.
The basic existence theorem for steady-state bifurcation is the equivariant branching lemma, which states that under appropriate conditions there will be a symmetry-breaking branch of steady states for any isotropy subgroup with a one-dimensional fixed-point subspace, We call such an isotropy subgroup axial. The analogous result for equivariant Hopf bifurcation involves isotropy subgroups with a two-dimensional fixed-point subspace, which we call C-axial because of an analogy involving a natural complex structure. Our main results are classification theorems for axial and C-axial subgroups in wreath products.
We study some typical examples, rings of cells in which the internal symmetry group is O(2) and the global symmetry group is dihedral. As these examples illustrate, one striking consequence of our general results is that systems with wreath product coupling often have states in which some cells are performing nontrivial dynamics, while others remain quiescent. We also discuss the common occurrence of heteroclinic cycles in wreath product systems.

A Document Of Public Communication
In August 2017 British Telecom announced they were going to remove 20,000 phones boxes from throughout the UK in the next 5 years which is around half of all remaining installations, citing that usage has declined by more than 90% in the last decade. Around a third are used only once a month with many never being used at all. Due to the rise in mobile phone usage and BT's reduction plan, it seems reasonable to assume that the iconic red phone box will be extinct from the public domain in the near future, with only a few re-appropriated boxes existing as cafe's or art installations.
The aim of this project was to document a dying form of public communication; to create a visual historical record in a geographical context. Clearly many phone boxes are used for things other than making calls, they have become something closer to civic closets, often providing a completely enclosed environment, they provide a private space in the communal sphere, but still retain the ability to display to the public.

5 Key Ways People Teams Are Evolving
coworkers discussing people teams and changes
In this article, Personio's Chief People Officer, Ross Seychell, shares his insight into the evolution of People Teams and how they are evolving in five specific ways. Read on to learn more.
The ways in which we work are always changing. Whether due to Covid-19, and its rapid emphasis on remote work, or simply the way industries move — companies have become more agile, virtual, and responsive, to meet customer needs and market trends.
When it comes to HR, though, it isn't simply enough to keep up. People Teams need to get ahead of trends so that HR can become a truly strategic partner to leaders as they blaze their own trail forward in business.
In this article, I want to share with you the importance of evolving People Teams, and the five key ways that they can look to evolve now and in the future…
Why Do People Teams Need To Evolve?
It's rather simple. Because People Teams can and should play a strategic and, ultimately, deliberate role in the way HR is approached and handled. Sadly, traditional HR in the past may have been forced to be more responsive rather than proactive.
Of course, it depends on the organization, but many that I speak to are still in a state of reactiveness. They may have some time to plan ahead, but most of their time is reserved for today's problems rather than tomorrow's solutions.
These past ways of working, simply to keep up, have resulted in a significant amount of untapped resources in terms of experience. So, evolution can happen quite rapidly when it is given the conditions to thrive (and not simply survive).
So, teams need to evolve for the health of both business and employees. In the HR industry, we have a model that was developed in the early 1900s and hasn't really changed much since. Compared to a world, across industries, that has, it's high time for an evolution.
The 5 Key Ways People Teams Are Evolving
Now that we have a bit more of the context, here are the five key ways that People Teams can keep evolving in the coming months and years…
1. Visiting & Revisiting Team Structures
The concept of team structures is worth a great deal of thought, but it is also highly dependent on the stage of your company. When you're small, a lot of topics end up rolled into People Operations (core processes, HR management, learning, rewards, benefits, etc.)
As a company grows, though, those teams tend to split out into specialist teams. This is because more and greater experience is needed to help the company scale to achieve its mid-to-long-term goals.
In the end, a key element of evolution is building a model and structure that works best for your company and what is important for you at your stage of growth. This could be more hiring, relocation, onboarding, or more, but it needs to be tailored to your needs.
Evolution may happen as a byproduct of increased headcount, but you need to strike the right balance of how often you structure and restructure — consider 12-18 months maximum, to prevent 'change weariness' from your team.
2. Defining People Operations Versus People Partners
It's important to approach unique, but separate, definitions for what we call "People Operations" and "People Partners." Many companies may hear the term 'People Operations' and think of it as synonymous with HR, but the proper definition goes beyond that.
Think of People Operations as the engine room of your People Team. Often, they are a central team covering the entire company, aligned by country or region. They take over once someone is hired to lead on pre-join, whether with onboarding, support, pay, benefits, administration, job changes, and other core admin.
On the other hand, People Partners are the strategic and commercial side of the People Team. They are the ones who work with leadership, and their leaders, to ideate and shape people strategies and plans for their function/department across the company.
Their goal, more generally, is to enable that area to achieve its goals, through its people, focusing on topics like workforce and talent planning, performance, engagement, development, team health, reward, and retention. They also tailor people activities across departments, like sales versus engineering, to offer unique solutions for the problems they are solving.
In short, think of People Operations as the engine and People Partners as the navigation. Together, they set the course and make the journey. Both serve a key function for the evolution of People Teams, more generally.
3. Building 'Workplace' Teams
At Personio, we are building a 'Workplace' team as an evolutional part of our people function. Essentially, workplace refers to office, home office, and also working remotely in our 'new normal.'
For a company to scale successfully, part of its culture is how teams and employees work together. This is true no matter their location or the conditions of where they work.
So, a Workplace Team needs to focus on end-to-end experiences for the best working environments, IT technology, and tooling. This also includes set up for companies, tribes, and teams to help achieve their goals.
Think of it as a mix of IT, office management, and property skill-sets. They all come together to form the Workplace Team concept and can serve as a key point of evolution for People Teams successfully making their way into the new normal and beyond.
4. Emphasizing Larger Ecosystems of Work
Each point we have touched on until now leads us here. People Operations, People Partners, Workplace, and People Teams more generally, all formulate a much larger 'ecosystem of work' that helps HR evolve beyond reactive and into proactive.
This is critical, especially because leading up to the pandemic we were already seeing a shift towards more hybrid working environments in offices and away from offices. The idea here is that evolution is required in helping people during times of change (and even regular times).
This means a larger ecosystem of work that stretches beyond the traditional office, and beyond the traditional scope of how HR is done. People Teams (and others, like IT, Finance, Facilities) have to think about how to adapt when not everyone is in one singular location.
For organizations to be productive, connected, focused, and fun, having a philosophy and plan for you enable that in a physical and virtual world is critical. The core element here is influence, and the role People Teams can play across locations and working conditions.
5. Focus On Less Administration & More Expertise
In order for HR and People Teams to be able to do all of this, though, companies need to afford them the time to focus on all of these initiatives and to rely more on their expertise that was previously untapped.
This is a question I am asked a lot, and for me, it is quite simple. We unleash our HR and People Teams capacity, and capabilities, to be able to work on solving problems that will help attract, develop, and retain the talent we all need to achieve business goals and plans.

Where Does That Leave Us?
The evolution of People Teams is happening, and at hyper speed. 2020 offered a watershed moment that revealed the real impact that strategic HR can have on the success of businesses, and 2021 will be no different in my opinion.
Therefore, I would truly encourage business leaders, founders, and CEOs to add this to your agenda with your People Teams. For these teams to be successful, that dialogue needs to happen now and it needs to be initiated from the very top.
We have seen the positive impact that a strategic, functioning HR department can have on businesses. Now, in 2021 and beyond, companies have the golden opportunity to build and expand on it for success.
About Ross Seychell
As a business leader with 20 years of HR experience, I have a strong passion for how people and culture enable companies to achieve their mission. After building out commercial people functions and strategies at high-growth companies such as Wise and King, I was really happy to join Personio as Chief People Officer to help achieve our mission to become Europe's leading HR platform.

bathotpix - locate and mask out hot pixels in a BAT detector image
bathotpix infile outfile
bathotpix locates hot pixels in a BAT detector plane image. Hot
pixels can be a source of noise in subsequent image processing steps,
and so should usually be excised.
This tool uses a histogram-based approach to locate the hottest and
coldest pixels in the image. Given a distribution of counts, the
"centermost" portion is selected as being good (the "keepfract"
amount). If keepfract is 0.98, then 98% of the detectors are selected
as good. The selection window is further enlarged by bands on either
side using the guardfract and guardval parameters. Values outside the
selection window are considered to be "cold" (too low) or "hot" (too
The output of the tool is a quality map of the same dimensions as the
detector image. Values stored in the map are determined by the
keywords below, but typically a value of 0 indicates a good pixel.
This mask can be input into downstream image processing stages. The
second extension, BADPIX, is a binary table containing a list of bad
Users can submit an existing detector mask using the detmask
parameter. Pixels with bad quality are ignored by bathotpix in
computing the distribution and selection windows. By default, the
input mask is logically AND'd with the result, so that the output is
the cumulative record of excised pixels. By default, BAT detector
gaps are also excised.

Details about this item
Shifting Involvements:
Why does society oscillate between intense interest in public issues and almost total concentration on private goals? In this classic work, Albert O. Hirschman offers a stimulating social, political, and economic analysis dealing with how and why frustrations of private concerns lead to public involvement and public participation that eventually lead back to those private concerns. Emerging from this study is a wide range of insights, from a critique of conventional consumption theory to a new understanding of collective action and of universal suffrage.
