This standard contains mathematical expressions and procedures that must be implemented for correctly assessing uncertainty affecting measurements on power systems. The document relies on the instrumentation typically used, with particular focus on digital instrumentation, and addresses typical kinds of uncertainty sources. The theory reported in the Standard ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008 Uncertainty of measurement -- Part 3: Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement (GUM:1995) and supplements is used as background for expressing the relationships to be used for the evaluation of the uncertainty in measurements on power systems. The guidelines developed in this document can be used to evaluate uncertainty budget when performing the measurement of a given quantity on electric power systems as well as to correctly write their value in official documents like specifications and test reports. This document contains a variety of examples to deeply discuss and explain the provided guidelines. The concepts presented can be extended to more general measurement uncertainty evaluation problems.

text: The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) International Programme for Antarctic Buoys (IPAB), through participating research organizations in various countries, maintains a network of drifting buoys in the Antarctic sea ice zone to support a better understanding of sea ice motion, meteorology, and oceanography. The IPAB Antarctic Drifting Buoy Data archive, presently spanning the years 1995 to... 1998, includes measurements of buoy position, atmospheric pressure, air temperature, and sea surface temperature. Data are organized by daily and three-hour averages and the raw, instantaneous, non-interpolated data values. Data were collected from buoys initially deployed in three study regions: East Antarctica; the Weddell Sea; and the Bellingshausen, Amundsen, and Ross Seas. Data are in ASCII text format and are available by ftp. Data updates will become available as data are processed and new buoys are deployed.

Blepharospasm | Symptoms
What are the symptoms of blepharospasm?
If you have blepharospasm, at first, you may notice increased and uncontrolled blinking when you are tired, anxious, physically or emotionally stressed, or when you are exposed to bright light or sunlight. Over time, the uncontrollable blinking becomes worse. It may feel like you have no control over your eyelids and that it takes a lot of effort to open them. Blepharospasm can be severe enough that it may force the eyelids closed for several hours at a time.

Loss of use coverage is a component of every renters insurance policy. It's responsible for temporary housing expenses and other incurred costs if your rented unit becomes uninhabitable due to a covered peril. For instance, in the unfortunate event of a fire, loss of use coverage steps in to ease your burden. It pays for hotel expenses, transportation and any additional costs arising from your need to relocate up to the designated limits, usually a certain amount per day.
By understanding the scope of loss of use coverage, you can empower yourself and make informed choices when selecting the right insurance policy for your needs.
Loss of use coverage pays for temporary housing if your rental unit is deemed uninhabitable due to a covered peril.
Loss of use covers expenses exceeding your regular cost of living, such as increased food or transportation costs when staying in a hotel.
Remember to keep receipts and other documentation to substantiate your loss of use claim.
What Is Loss of Use in Renters Insurance?
In renters insurance, loss of use coverage ensures you have a place to stay if your rented home becomes uninhabitable due to covered perils. For instance, if your unit gets damaged in a fire and becomes uninhabitable, loss of use will pay for your hotel costs and additional food expenses. It's a key part of every standard renters insurance policy, where you can increase and decrease limits accordingly.
Loss of use in renters insurance consists of three key aspects: additional living expenses, fair rental value and prohibited use. These components work together to support you during challenging times without being financially burdened.
Additional Living Expenses
Additional living expenses (ALE) coverage provides financial support when you face a temporary displacement from your rented home due to covered incidents. For instance, if a severe storm damages your rental property, making it unsafe to stay in, this coverage would pay for your temporary residence, such as an apartment or hotel.
ALE coverage also accounts for additional costs for transportation, meals and even storage fees for personal belongings. For example, if you spend more to go to school or more to eat due to living in your temporary rental unit, you will be reimbursed for the increased costs of transportation and food.
Fair Rental Value
If you sublease a part of your unit, be it a room or a garage, fair rental value reimburses you for lost rental income should a covered peril prevent you from collecting rent. For example, if a fire breaks out in your rental property and you sublease your garage, rendering it unusable, fair rental value coverage would compensate you for the lost rental income during the time it takes to repair the damages.
Prohibited use coverage acts as a safety net if you are legally barred from occupying your rental property, whether it's due to government directives or other restrictive circumstances. For instance, if a neighbor is involved in a police investigation and authorities close off access to your rental unit, prohibited use would cover your temporary housing costs.
Another example is if authorities issue an evacuation in response to an impending natural disaster, like a wildfire or hurricane. In such cases, prohibited use coverage would cover alternative housing costs during the evacuation period.
Expenses Covered by Loss of Use Covers in Renters Insurance
When a covered peril disrupts your living situation, loss of use coverage steps in to handle the additional costs. This could include the extra commuting costs from your temporary residence to your workplace or the cost of boarding your pet if pets aren't allowed in your temporary accommodation. The following expenses are usually covered:
- Temporary accommodations, like hotels or rented apartments
- Extra commuting costs
- Additional food expenses if you're eating out more often
- Pet boarding if your temporary accommodation doesn't allow pets
- Storage costs for your belongings
- Laundry services if your temporary accommodation doesn't have laundry facilities
- Moving truck costs to bring your things to storage or a temporary unit
- Childcare costs if your usual arrangements are disrupted
- Additional utilities or internet services
Loss of Use Coverage Limitations
Loss of use coverage will only pay up to the maximum limit stated in your policy — even if you're still waiting for repairs, your insurer will no longer cover expenses if you've reached your limit. You can get more coverage for loss of use, but you'll need to pay a higher premium.
Additionally, loss of use coverage may only apply for a certain period of time, depending on your policy. It's often the shortest of the following:
- The specified maximum period on your policy, usually 12 or 24 months
- The duration required to repair or replace the damage
- The time necessary to establish a permanent residence elsewhere
For instance, even if your policy can cover you for up to 12 months, if it takes only two months to find and move to another long-term rental unit, it will only cover you for two months.
What Loss of Use Doesn't Cover
While loss of use coverage can be a financial lifeline during a crisis, it doesn't cover every scenario that might force you out of your home. For instance, if you're carrying out voluntary home improvements and need to move out temporarily, this wouldn't be covered. Similarly, if a peril not covered by your policy, such as a flood, renders your home uninhabitable, loss of use won't apply. Here are some scenarios that aren't covered:
- Non-covered perils: Loss of use coverage does not provide coverage for displacement caused by perils not listed in the policy. For instance, if your rental property becomes uninhabitable due to damage caused by pests or mold, which are not covered under the policy, your temporary housing and living arrangements expenses would not be reimbursed.
- Voluntary temporary relocation: If you choose to temporarily relocate for personal reasons unrelated to a covered event, you will not be reimbursed. For example, if you decide to stay with family or friends when the rental property is habitable, the insurance will not cover your expenses.
- Upgrades to living conditions: While loss of use coverage pays to maintain your standard of living — it won't upgrade it. For instance, if you originally lived in a studio apartment, you won't be able to get coverage for a penthouse or a five-star hotel.
Things To Remember When Filing A Loss Of Use Claim
Filing a loss of use claim requires careful attention to detail and a thorough understanding of your insurance policy. It's important to remember that the goal is to restore your usual standard of living, not to provide an upgrade. Here are some essential tips to remember:
- File your claim as soon as possible. This can help expedite the process.
- Retain all receipts for additional living expenses. These will be necessary for reimbursement.
- Document your usual living expenses. Your insurer may use this as a baseline for your claim.
- Stay in regular contact with your insurance company. This can help ensure your claim is processed smoothly.
- Know your policy limits. Be aware of how much coverage you have and the duration of that coverage.
- Understand the perils covered by your policy. Loss of use applies only to covered perils.
- Keep in mind that loss of use coverage aims to maintain your usual standard of living, not to enhance it.

aint a variable is to ensure that only valid characters are in the variable. The variable in question, in this example, is $siteinfo[1]. Unfortunately, it's very, very difficult to find an appropriate regex that can perfectly secure user-supplied data that is passed to the shell. What I would probably do in this case is creates a hash that has the user data as the key and the hash value as the actual file to be opened. I say "probably" because if you have hundreds of files that the user could open, you would want to take a different solution.
 my %files = ( colors => 'colors.dat', tests => 'test.txt', names => 'names.dat', bribes => 'politicians.txt' ); open IN, "<$filepath/$files{$siteinfo[1]}" or someErrorRoutine( "Can't open $filepath/$siteinfo[1] for reading: +$!" );
 In the above example, the user data is used to pull a value from a hash. Since you have created those hash values, you know they are safe. If the hash value doesn't exist, then someErrorRoutine() is called. Depending upon how your site is set up, you might want someErrorRoutine to log the details of the failure. The key point to remember here is that user data never gets close to the shell (and that you should always check to see if your open statement failed).
 Also, taint checking should still be used here. The following regex is interesting to me:
 $siteinfo[1] =~ /^[^.]+/(\w+\.\w+)$/ or someErrorRoutine( "Regex failed" ); my $fileToOpen = $1; # $fileToOpen untainted
 In this case, we are making sure that there are NO periods prior to the final slash and only one period in the actual filename. Note that the error subroutine is called on failure. If it's not and that fails, $1 might contain an undesireable value that gets assigned to $fileToOpen.
 The Moral: When untainting data, make sure you check for failure of your regex to match.
 For a little more information about exploits like this, read this article (thanks to tilly for that link).
 Yes, check for failure. But regular expressions to perfectly secure data passed to the shell are actually pretty easily come by. You just need to remember the cardinal rule, deny everything that is not explicitly allowed. Trying to trap everything that can go wrong is hard. Allowing very limited input, is not. Try the following:
 /^( (?:\w+\/)* # Directory components? \w+ # Start of filename (?:\.\w+)? # Extension? )$/x
 This will work for most filenames you have a reason to allow, and I guarantee you that on a standard Unix system with a standard directory structure (unless someone has placed poor symlinks, etc), there is no way to name anything that passes this which has shell problems.
 You could test length($1) if you are afraid of buffer overflows. :-)
 What you will find though is that at some point some developer wants to break the rule. That is fine, just become more lenient (eg allow an optional period in a directory) but step by step keep the philosophy the same. Only that which you have guaranteed safe shall pass.
 The line:
 in Ovid's example has me confused. The extra slash (/) in the middle is throwing me off. At first glance, it looks like he meant to use the s/// operator. At second glance, it becomes apparent that it's meant as a directory separator (to exclude things like "../../". However, doesn't placing a '/' in a regexp delimited by '/' characters require an escape character (\)?
 (I must be getting a mild case of LTS)

Just as a chameleon can instantly morph its skin color to match its surroundings, a new method of controlling crystals using light and chemistry could make clothing or cars change color on demand.
The method involves shining a laser on tiny latex particles to make them assume a 3D crystalline shape or pattern, such as a letter M. When the laser is switched on or off, the crystals appear or disappear.
Unlike for chameleons or octopuses, creating man-made materials that change color on demand is really difficult, said Mike Solomon, a chemical engineer at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and senior researcher of a study detailed in a forthcoming issue of the journal Nature Communications. [Biomimicry: 7 Clever Technologies Inspired by Nature]
"Wouldn't it be neat if you could change some attribute — such as a display, part of car, or clothing — on demand?" Solomon told Live Science. Solomon and his graduate student, Youngri Kim, sought to develop technology that could ultimately do just that.
Traditionally, researchers have sought to create camouflaged materials by applying electric or magnetic fields to particles. But these methods are cumbersome and expensive, Solomon said.
By contrast, Kim and her team found a way to achieve shapeand color-changing effects using latex paint microparticles — tiny particles about 0.001 millimeters (4/100,000th inch) in diameter — in a kerosene-like fluid, by shining a laser on them. By manipulating these "camouflage crystals," the researchers were able to construct a letter "M," for the University of Michigan. They have also experimented with making optical lenses.
"We can shine the light in a certain region, and the particles create a crystalline region where they all come together and create this crystal structure," Kim said in a statement.
The researchers found that shining light on the microparticles made them react chemically with a layer of indium tin oxide on the bottom of the pool of fluid. The reaction produces an electric current in the fluid, which causes the particles to rearrange themselves.
If the particles are negatively charged, they flow toward the illuminated region of the surface; if the particles are positively charged, they flow away from the area under the light, creating a void there.
Camouflaged clothes and cars
The new method of making materials change their shape or color has many exciting applications. For instance, it could be integrated into clothing or automobile paint, for camouflage purposes, or just for aesthetic reasons.
A significant challenge will be adapting a fluid-based material for use in fabrics or vehicle paints (which ultimately dry). Another question is how much light is needed for the particle method to work. Right now, the technique relies on lasers, but those would be impractical for many applications. Future studies will need to address these issues, Solomon said.

Definition of Atlas and axis joint
Atlas and axis joint: The joint between the atlas and axis bones. The atlas is the first cervical (neck) vertebra which is just under the head; it is named for Atlas, the Greek god who supported the world on his shoulders. The axis is the second cervical vertebra; it has what is called the odontoid process about which the atlas rotates.
The joint between the atlas and axis is a pivot type of joint. It allows the head turn from side to side. It is also called the atloaxoid joint.
The ligaments that serve to support and strengthen this joint are called the capsular; anterior and posterior atlantoaxial; and transverse ligaments.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

Previous studies have found that smoking cigarettes can accelerate the start of menopause with its well known hot flashes. It also contributes to an increased risk of postmenopausal osteoporosis. In addition to that…
The current study tried to explain why some women who smoke are even more prone o hot flashes than others, and found that specific genes are involved…
Firstly, these (variant) genes are involved in the metabolism of hormones, BUT…
Secondly, these genes also activate some toxins contained in the tobacco smoke, aggravating their effect on the body.
While women who smoke during menopause are at higher risk of hot flashes anyway, those who carry the specific gene variants are even more susceptible to it compared to those smokers who do not carry these genes. This finding was accepted and published by The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (JCEM).
These findings were observed during a study that started eleven years ago – originally intended as a study of reproductive aging. The study group involved almost 300 women in their "later reproductive years", with the intent of studying their physiological changes as they progress through menopause and beyond. The group included women who smoked and use alcohol, so as to obtain information on behavioural and lifestyle influences as well.
Any woman who smokes is likely to trigger the onset of menopause sooner, and is she happens to be carrying a set of (specific) variant genes, the effects are likely to be even worse, including the hot flashes, and the greater risk of developing postmenopausal osteoporosis.

The CAA and SAH Release Guidelines for the Evaluation of Digital Scholarship in Art and Architectural History. The College Art Association and Society of Architectural Historians have released guidelines that include attention to process:
A work of digital scholarship often requires developing or refining a methodology. That work should be evaluated as a contribution to scholarship, just as methodological innovations in traditional scholarship are given weight in assessments of achievement. By extension, digital scholarship may need to be evaluated by the process of analysis in addition to the results of the analysis. (p. 5)
The guidelines go on how to identify the importance of the process through things like project narratives. They also talk about how the "inadequacy of existing peer review for digital scholarship is directly related to the changing nature of publications. In many cases, peer review for a digital publication is little different from that of a print publication,…" It sounds like the arts are going through the same discussions as we are.

Here's how your plants will look on arrival. All plants are dormant with no leaves or foliage.
Regal Privet Plant - Ligustrum obtusifolium var. regelianum
The Regal Privet Plant is considered a fast-growing, hardy shrub. If left to grow on its own, it will create spreading branches that can mature into a beautiful, found-like hedge. This formation is what makes it so attractive as a backdrop to a garden in landscaping. It is capable of growing to hide things like foundations or walkway edges. The Regal Privet Plant has a wide range of zones, growing best in zones 3 to 7. It grows at a moderate rate in full sun to partial shade. It reaches a height of about 10 to 12 feet while spreading at approximately the same distances. One attractive quality about the Regal Privet is its excellent adaptability to some soil types. It prefers moist, well-drained soils that see a relative amount of sun when in a humid, southern environment, but it is also a hardy deciduous hedge when growing in more northern climates.
The Regal Privet Plant's upright growth is marked by green foliage and white flowers that bloom in the spring. It carries dark berries through the winter and is both adaptable and unable as a landscaping plant. Its dense foliage is what makes it so attractive for use in backdrops, but its berries are also appealing to some birds and wildlife who come to eat from them in the winter. The plants grow upright in oval to radiation rounded formations, then achieve an arching vase growth as they mature. If frequently pruned, these plants will form a hedge shape. The dark green leaves are semi-evergreen in the south and slowly deciduous in the north, growing opposite in elliptical to oblong shapes of 1" to 1.5" of length. The blossoms appear in May and June and appeal to some bees. The growth rate of Regal Privets depends on the frequency of pruning. The plants are useful in urban areas as they adapt well to stress.

I went online and looked for one and the ones that I found were really spendy so I figured that I would just make my own.
What you need:
marble adhesive paper (Obviously it doesn't have to be marble, it can be any pattern you want!)
A realy sharp knife
An eyewear cleaning cloth
How you make it:
Step1: Cut a piece of marble adhesive paper that is about 2cm wider than your computer on each side.
Step2: Take of half of the the paper that is on the back and slowly start attaching the sticky side of the paper on top of your computer.
Don't just do it all at once, start on one side and work your way to the other side by swiping your finger back and forth on top of the paper with your eyewear cleaning cloth and in that way attaching the it to your computer. This way you avoid any air bubbles. Do the same thing on the sides of your computer, it doesn't matter if it goes over the screen-part, you'll cut the excess away later.
Step3: On the corners you can blow on the paper with a hair dryer while at the same time pulling it downwards. The paper will expand and in that way cover your rounded corners without any bubble or wrinkles. Turn your computer up-side-down and do it again but pulling it upwards.
Step4: Leave your computer up-side-down and put your knife parallel with the table so that you get a straight line and start cutting of the excess paper.
Step5: If you want to cut out the apple logo that is up to you, just turn on the screen so that you can see the apple thru the paper and start running your knife along the edges of the logo.
And now you have a pretty computer to use!

|Easton's Bible Dictionary|
Used in brick-making (Exodus 5:7-18). Used figuratively in Job 41:27; Isaiah 11:7; 25:10; 65:25.
Noah Webster's Dictionary
1. (v. t.) To spread or scatter. See Strow.
2. (n.) A stalk or stem of certain species of grain, pulse, etc., especially of wheat, rye, oats, barley, more rarely of buckwheat, beans, and peas.
3. (n.) The gathered and thrashed stalks of certain species of grain, etc.; as, a bundle, or a load, of rye straw.
4. (n.) Anything proverbially worthless; the least possible thing; a mere trifle.
Int. Standard Bible Encyclopedia
stro, stub'-'-l: The cognates of Hebrew tebhen, "straw" and qash, "stubble," have been retained in the modern Arabic terms tibn and qashsh. Tibn applies to the straw which has been cut up into short pieces and more or less split by the threshing operations. It is commonly used throughout the East as a coarse fodder or roughage for domestic herbivorous animals (compare Genesis 24:25, 32 Judges 19:19 1 Kings 4:28; Isaiah 11:7; Isaiah 65:25). Hay and similar cured crops are practically unknown. Barley, peas and other grain, when fed to animals, are mixed with the tibn. The animals will frequently reject the tibn unless there is grain in it. They often nose about the tibn until the grain settles to the bottom so that they can eat the latter without the straw. Straw left in the manger is thrown out in the stall to form part of the bedding (compare Isaiah 25:10).
Tibn is mixed with clay for plastering walls or for making sun-dried bricks. It is also mixed with lime and sand for plastering. The children of Israel had their task of brickmaking made more arduous by being required to gather stubble and prepare it by chopping it up instead of being given the already prepared straw of the threshing-floors (Exodus 5:7).
Qashsh (literally, "dried up") refers to the stalks left standing in the wheat fields or to any dried-up stalks or stems such as are gathered for burning. Camels and other flocks sometimes supplement their regular meals by grazing on the stubble, otherwise it has no use. In the Bible stubble is used to typify worthless inflammable material (Exodus 15:7 Job 13:25; Job 41:28, 29 Psalm 83:13 Isaiah 5:24, etc.; 1 Corinthians 3:12, kalame).
mathben, is translated "straw" in Isaiah 25:10.

How Apps Can Help Migrants Achieve Better Health Outcomes

Key Takeaways
 - A study conducted by researchers at Anglia Ruskin University finds that mobile applications aided by artificial intelligence may help migrants better address their physical and mental health.
 - Immigrants face many barriers to quality health care and are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.
 - Experts say providers should keep these barriers and health risks in mind when treating patients who are migrants.
In countries across the globe, some immigrants are twice as likely to contract COVID-19 compared to those born in the country. Throughout the pandemic, immigrants have been disproportionately impacted due to poor housing conditions, jobs that make physical distancing difficult, and lack of access to affordable health care.
While experts say multiple measures need to be taken to help immigrant communities receive adequate health care, a study conducted by researchers at Anglia Ruskin University indicates that mobile applications aided by artificial intelligence (AI) may help migrants better address their physical and mental health.
For the study, researchers surveyed migrants in Greece coming from Africa and Asia over a 10-month period between 2018 and 2019 to see how applications driven by AI could help them integrate into the new culture and achieve better mental and physical health outcomes. Researchers found that mobile apps that used AI—in the form of language assistants, for example—improved health outcomes for migrants by 5.3%, versus 1% improvement for non-AI mobile app users.
The study will be published in the April 2021 edition of the journal Computers in Human Behavior and was published online in December.
Incorporating AI into health apps "might improve the quality and accuracy of health services and create a better match between immigrants' needs and the services provided, leading to greater valuable informational capabilities and outcomes," the study's author Nick Drydakis, PhD, director of the Centre for Pluralist Economics at Anglia Ruskin University in England, tells Verywell.
What This Means For You
If you're struggling to access health care, mobile health apps may be a helpful tool and a first step to seeking treatment. If you're a recent migrant and need assistance in navigating the health system in your area, the web app Services Advisor helps point you to humanitarian services like food, shelter, and medicine. Another web app, Shifra provides sexual and reproductive health information in different languages.
The Study
Apps that include customized search results, health symptom trackers, and virtual assistance for health conditions may bring "advantages compared to those applications which are not aided by AI assistants," Drydakis says.
One clear benefit to apps aided by AI is their ability to help migrants, who may not have proficiency in their new country's main language, access more information when assessing their health concerns. AI language assistants can help migrants understand symptoms or better understand what their doctor told them. The apps could also help migrants who suspect they have a condition that may be stigmatized in their culture.
"Individuals who do not have access to health care and perceive themselves as having a stigmatizing condition are more likely to use m-Health applications for self-diagnosis," Drydakis says. "M-Mental health applications reach population groups who might otherwise not have access to mental health or other clinical care."
M-Integration and m-Health are terms that refer to mobile integration, which is when different apps and devices are connected to achieve a seamless data exchange in your daily life. In this case, it involves connecting health services directly to your phone.
These mobile applications are not supposed to replace treatment, but instead help facilitate care, which Drydakis says their research supports. "Healthcare data which are analyzed by using AI techniques...have been found to achieve better patient education, prevention and checkup, diagnosis, medical predictive modeling, decision support, and treatment outcomes," he says.
Lack of Phones Presents Barrier To Access
While this research found that AI apps can help migrants, many do not have access to or use these apps in the first place. The study found that 32% of migrants in this study did not have a mobile phone, and 42% of migrants who did have phones did not use these applications. Women were also 27% less likely to own a mobile phone than men.
"Mobile phones and m-Integration applications seem to guarantee key human rights such as the right of information, the right to the family life, the right to work and education, the right to cultural identity maintenance, and the right to mental health," Drydakis says. "The World Health Organization recommended the use of digital health in improving health services, particularly for vulnerable populations."
Unique Health Risks of Migrants
While mobile applications can be helpful with integration into a new country, Dabney P. Evans, PhD, MPH, director of the Center for Humanitarian Emergencies and assistant professor of global health in Emory University Rollins School of Public Health in Georgia, tells Verywell that providers should be very cautious in how they treat migrants, particularly if they are refugees or asylum seekers.
"Asylum seekers and refugees, in particular, frequently experience torture or other forms of persecution by their home government," Evans says. She stresses that healthcare providers should keep this in mind when treating patients because the consequent health effects can include "physical injury, but they can also include mental effects which are long-lasting things like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression."
When it comes to helping migrants adjust to a new country, Evans said that it is important to not let them receive substandard care. "We want to think about providing ethical high-quality standards of care, just as we would to any other population, and that may be more challenging," Evans says. She cites lack of access to health care and issues with trust in the U.S. as potential barriers for migrants. Many migrants may be hesitant to go to the hospital in-person due to concerns about being detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, she adds.
Evans pointed to apps used by Planned Parenthood Federation to help migrants traveling to the U.S. "They were using some mobile apps to be able to provide emergency contraception and other sexual reproductive health services along the routes that people were taking as they were traveling from Central America up through Mexico," Evans says. "That was more of a health service provision for populations on the move" until they were able to access doctors.
Migrant Health During COVID-19 in the U.S.
In addition to AI apps, there are other steps the U.S. can take to improve access to health care during the COVID-19 pandemic for immigrant populations. An article published in the journal PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases recommended that the following policy changes be introduced:
 1. Expand Medicaid in all states to cover more low-income adults
 2. Fund SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) testing and COVID-19 treatment for all uninsured individuals, regardless of immigration status
 3. Get rid of immigration status requirements for children when assessing their eligibility for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
 4. Include immigrants who have an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) and their families in economic relief packages
Drydakis also believes that AI health apps can play an important role during the COVID-19 pandemic. "Mobile applications aided by AI enable users to access customized information and services 24/7," Drydakis says. "Current studies have found that M-health technologies are a viable option in monitoring COVID-19 patients at home, and to predict who will need medical intervention."

Then there is also the "relative" as in kinship or family "relation",
and we should not replace "relative" with "kinship" either, unless
that is what you are speaking of. I think what you are using is
definition 8, which may be appropriate. That is happiness in regard
to a person's view, or happiness stemming from a person (change
"happiness" to "truth"). We exude truths, we do not live by them.
That would be futile indeed.
In Western metaphysics, the word relative has specific meaning, that
is, not the common everyday meaning. Metaphysics is a form of Math as
presented by Russell. Logic must be adhered to, otherwise it is "just
whatever you want it to be". Words are operators in logic. A fuzzy
word is not too useful, as you can tell from the firestorm.
As you know from mindfulness, things do not have to be considered in
relation to other things. The divide between such things is a false
divide that stems from the SO view of the world. Here in MoQ we
understand that. It is the nature of what creates the appearance of
such separation that we are interested in. That, of course, is
Quality. Everything we can put into sq has qualities, and MoQ is an
sq ghost of Quality.
Thank you for the clafification in what you meant. (?).

MTU Onsite Energy case study: Hutterite Colony depends on standby power for high-tech operations
When utility power fails, the new MTU Onsite Energy generator ensures continuous power for all of the colony's agricultural and woodworking equipment.
Winnipeg, Canada – The Springfield Colony, one of 105 rural Hutterite communities located throughout Manitoba, is home to 113 men, women and children as well as the agricultural and manufacturing activities that support the community. The colony farms more than 6,000 acres, manages a 600-sow hog operation, keeps 8,500 laying hens and raises more than 20,000 broilers every eight weeks. In addition, Springfield Colony is noted for high-quality woodworking—cabinets, countertops, doors and office furniture—that it sells to customers in Manitoba and northern Ontario. All of these activities are critical to the colony and require dependable standby electric power generation in the event of utility power failures.
When Springfield Colony's electrical loads outgrew its old standby generator, the colony turned to a higher-capacity unit from Katolight by MTU Onsite Energy. Besides meeting all of the colony's current power needs during an outage, the new generator set and accompanying control equipment have helped make seamless transitions from utility power to standby generator power.
Why standby power is important
Far from a luxury, standby power provides a critical lifeline for manufacturing and livestock production as well as the day-to-day livelihood of the colony members. The potential for loss of life and productivity is high, particularly in the hog barn where electricity keeps the ventilation fans running. Without electric power, "hogs would start suffocating within half an hour," says James Kleinsasser, the colony's electrician. "We could lose millions of dollars in just one hour."
Standby power is also critical for the colony's high-tech manufacturing operation (the colony's main power user), which includes computerized equipment such as electric saws, milling machines and a paint booth. Other agricultural processes that depend on electricity include the feed mill and the grain-handling system.
Normally, electricity is provided by the local utility. There are times, though, when utility power isn't available. The colony experiences frequent power outages and once lost power for 17 hours, reports Kleinsasser. For a long time, the colony relied on a 400 kW standby generator to keep the manufacturing and agricultural equipment running. But as the colony's manufacturing operation grew, the old generator was no longer able to supply all of the colony's electrical loads when the utility failed.
The standby power shortage was magnified when the colony changed its dairy operation into a cabinet manufacturing facility. Without enough power to go around during utility outages, "we had to limit the load," Kleinsasser recalls. At such times, for example, no power would be available for grinding feed for the barns.
New generator upgrades standby system
Rather than live with this situation, the colony eventually decided to replace the old generator with a higher-output unit. After considering a number of possible replacements, Kleinsasser selected a Series 2000 generator from MTU Onsite Energy. Powered by a 12-cylinder MTU diesel engine, the Series 2000 generator has a rated capacity of 750 kW, which is more than enough to keep electricity flowing to all of the colony's equipment and homes during a utility power outage.
To facilitate the operation of the genset, the colony also purchased MTU Onsite Energy's digital genset controller. Reliable, cost effective and easy to use, this unit features advanced microprocessor technology that controls both the generator and the transfer switch.
The generator set and controller were supplied by Manitoba-based PalmLite, the local MTU Onsite Energy distributor that provides equipment and services for agricultural, industrial and residential applications. PalmLite also helped with the generator startup and worked with the factory's engineers on programming the controller.

(dailyRx News) When someone close to you is diagnosed with heart failure, they may become depressed and have trouble dealing with stress. But being supportive could lessen their depression and may even improve their health.
Depression is not good for patients with heart failure. It may lead to more hospitalizations and even death.
Having to deal with heart failure may be what causes the depression. Feeling isolated and lacking support may worsen depression.
A recent study suggested that improving the social support of heart failure patients may reduce their psychological distress. Reducing depression might hopefully improve patients' health outcomes.
Erika Friedmann, PhD, of the School of Nursing at University of Maryland, and colleagues led the study to look at psychological stress and social support in heart failure patients.
The study included 108 patients. These patients were part of another study that examined a certain treatment for heart failure. The first group had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator inserted. The second group did not. The defibrillator is inserted in the heart. It can deliver a shock if the heart beats abnormally or stops.
The patients were given several questionnaires that measured depression, anxiety and social support. The patients were followed for two years and filled out the same questionnaires every six months.
At the start of the study, 30 percent of the patients were depressed and 42 percent had anxiety. There were no differences between the groups that did or did not have an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. The two groups had the same levels of distress and social support.
The percentage of patients reporting anxiety remained the same for the two-year period. Depression increased among patients that reported a lack of social support.
The authors suggested improving a patient's support system could reduce their depression — and that reducing psychological distress and improving social support systems may improve health outcomes.
"It is important to consider whether intervention to improve psychological status in this group of heart failure patients will have a positive impact on depression and, thus, on health outcomes," the authors commented.
The authors noted some limitations of the study. The measurement of depression and anxiety were from self-reported questionnaires. While the questionnaires are widely used, they do not provide a diagnosis. The study did not look at other factors in patients' lives, such as treatment for depression. Also, the study did not include differences between genders or races and the study results may not be generalizable.
This study - titled "Poor Social Support is Associated with Increases in Depression but not Anxiety Over 2 Years in Heart Failure Outpatients" - was published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing. The study was funded by National Institute of Nursing Research, National Institutes of Health, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, Medtronic, Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories and Knoll Pharmaceuticals. Dr. Friedmann and colleagues disclosed no conflicts of interest.


Turning the Gray Areas into Black and White
View All Articles
"Part of me longs for a job where there's not a gray area". Jodie Foster
Can you relate? Gray areas make everything harder, especially when working with people with I/DD.
Here's Oxfords dictionary's definition of a gray areas: "an ill-defined situation or field not readily conforming to a category or to an existing set of rules."
When working with people with I/DD, it is much easier to teach concepts that are black and white. This behavior is not okay, that behavior is okay, right or wrong, black or white. Rules and categories help us manage information and know what to do to fit into society, and helps us know how to behave.
Gray areas create complexity and confusion for both the professional, and for the individual, which means, it can be harder to navigate and teach and frustrating for those being taught.
Here's an example of the gray area:
Let's explore the clothing one wears in public versus private. We teach that you can be naked in private and wear clothes in public. Clothes cover your sexual parts. So, if a bathing suit covers sexual parts, can I wear a bathing suit anywhere in public? No. Bathing suits are in the gray area. While it's okay to wear a bathing suit at a pool or the beach, it's not okay at the mall or to school. Why? Those are the rules so people feel comfortable and safe. Once you know the rules, we feel more relaxed and free.
Here's another gray area. Men can go shirtless in public, but women can't. What about stores? Where can men wear no shirt in public? Beach, swimming pool, park, but not in the grocery store. Why? Those are the rules we have created or the store has created.
Let's work through a common example and sort out the gray area. Here's the scenario: We say to a 10-year-old with a developmental disability, "no one should touch your sexual parts."
When we make this statement, we have to ask ourselves:
 - Is this statement always true?
 - Are there times it's okay for someone to touch their sexual parts? Where are the possible gray areas with different rules?
 - When the person is older and decides to be sexual with another person, they have both agreed to this sexual act.
 - When they go to the doctor and the doctor is making sure they are healthy. A helping professional can touch sexual parts as long as they ask first and do not ask you to keep it a secret.
 - When a care provider is bathing them and they need that assistance.
When dealing with the gray areas, here are 3 steps to help you sort it out:
Step One: Analyze whether the statement you are making is always true or are there different rules or societal rules/norms.
Step Two: Consider whether there are house rules or personal rules based on where the person lives or their past experiences. For example, one agency may say private is in the bathroom at home and your bedroom and other agencies may say only the bedroom is private. These are the house rules that need to be conveyed.
Step Three: Create a "okay, not okay" grid and list those different rules. Make the gray area, black and white. Use a grid to teach these concepts and create less confusion.
There are numerous and subtle gray areas in our society and it can be difficult to catch all of them. These 3 steps will help you think through the gray areas and turn them into black and white. Turning the gray to black and white makes your teaching more effective and the learner better equipped for a world full of many shades of gray.

Wahjudi, Stefani (2008) Types and functions of English taboo words used in Edmund White's A Boy's Own Story. Bachelor thesis, Petra Christian University.Full text not available from this repository.
Taboo words are generally offensive and considered inappropriate for being used in most occasions. However, people, although they were considered as well educated persons, still used taboo words in some occasions. This research attempted to find out the types and the functions of taboo words mostly used by the main character in this novel. In conducting this research, the writer used a qualitative-descriptive approach and she became the instrument that collected and analyzed the data from A Boy's Own Story novel. The writer analyzed the taboo words that were spoken by Edmund and his gay friends. In the analysis, the occurrences of taboo words can be classified based on the types such as (one's) mother in law, certain game animal, sex, death, excretory, bodily functions, anatomical and religious matters and also based on the functions such as create discredit, discredit, provoke violent confrontation, endearment, the create of strong personal identification and provide catharsis. The writer also analyzed the function of taboo words that was uttered by Edmund and his gay friends. After finishing the analysis, all the occurrences of taboo words were put into the prepared table based on the classification of types and functions criteria. In conclusion, the writer concluded that Edmund mostly used taboo words when he was talking to those who had intimate solidarity with him and in the informal setting. The taboo words used by Edmund mostly occurred when the conversations was talking about emotional pressures. Furthermore, the taboo words used by Edmund White were mostly functioned to discredit for reducing his emotional pressures and to endear for someone who had close relationship with him.

HAVANA, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- The representative of UNICEF, or the UN Children's Fund, in Cuba said here Friday that Cuba is among the countries that have best implemented the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and that countries in the world should learn from Cuba on the protection of children's rights.
Jose Juan Ortiz, speaking at celebrations marking Universal Children's Day, said Cuba, still under an economic embargo and is suffering from frequent natural disasters, has significantly reduced child mortality and improved child nutrition -- to levels that can rival those of developed countries.
The cause of the amazing achievements in children's protection in Cuba lies in the government's political will, he added.
All countries in the world should follow Cuba's example and strive to provide better conditions for children in judicial and social welfare fields, Ortiz said, adding that in this way most countries would be able to meet the targets set by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
On Friday, Cuba held a variety of activities nationwide to celebrate Universal Children's Day.

In this study, ischemic preconditioning (exposing various tissues to low oxygen environments by limiting blood flow before exercise) was employed in order to investigate its effects on exercise performance on a stationary bicycle. In this case, the preconditioning involved exposing the legs to a low oxygen environment via two large blood pressure cuffs acting as tourniquets for a period of time before exercise. During this process we measured several different things such as heart rate, blood pressure, and cardiac output, all components of the body's overall response to exercise and one specific component, known as the metaboreflex. In comparing the effects of IPC to a control condition, the IPC was determined to have a significant effect on the metaboreflex, specifically by limiting the body's increase in blood pressure during exercise.

a_1 | a_2 | \cdots | a_p$ (you can pretend at first that $\overline{A}$ is just $A$ - really, $\overline{A}$ agrees with $A$ in degrees two and greater, is 0 in degree zero, and in degree one we replace $A^1$ by $A^1/ im(d)$). The vertical differential is the standard one on $A^{\otimes p}$ (using the Leibniz rule to extend to the tensor product), and the horizontal differential is defined as a sum obtained by "removing bars and multiplying." Let ${\bf k}$ be $F_2$ if you don't want to worry about signs.
Exercise: Show this is a bicomplex. If you're brave, do so with signs.
Exercise: The spectral sequence for this bicomplex obtained by taking homology vertically first has $E^1$ given by $Bar(H_*(A))$, where the homology of $A$ is a differential graded algebra with zero differential. (This is an immediate application of one of the main theorems from a first algebraic topology course.)
Theorem (Eilenberg-Moore, after Adams-Hilton): If $X$ is simply connected and $A$ is (quasi-isomorphic to) the cochains of $X$, then the homology of $Bar(A)$ is isomorphic to the cohomology of the loopspace of $X$.
Exercises: first compute for $A$ with all products zero. Then compute when $A$ is a free associative algebra, and then free commutative algebra. Finally, try to make examples with higher differentials.
(I might elaborate more later... and we can talk at the Cascade seminar this week-end).

In Jim Stasheff's original papers on $A_\infty$-algebras he generalises the bar construction and its spectral sequence to $A_\infty$-algebras, and then he identifies all of the differentials explicitly in terms of things that look like (duals of) Massey products - he calls them Yessam products.
I realise that this isn't exactly an explicit compution, but it is at least a general explicit description of the higher differentials that is not formal, and to get it requires a bit of the guts of the spectral sequence.

is that in his H-spaces from a htopy point of view? – Sean Tilson Nov 7 '10 at 2:24
There's a paper of Fadell and Hurewicz (in the Annals, mid 1950's) identifying certain differentials with cap products. I can't recall the precise result.

You mean probably the paper jstor.org/stable/_PHONE_ It identifies the first non-trivial differential in the Serre spectral sequence if the base space is highly connected. For a specific computation of a differential in the Serre spectral sequence in a similar vein see also the following paper by McCleary: springerlink.com/content/443j202m17562714/fulltext.pdf – Lennart Meier Nov 6 '10 at 13:34
Verdier and Deligne introduced more terms in a spectral sequence of a filtered complex (indexed by 4+1 indices instead of 2+1), thus in particular factoring the differentials into epis and monos. This enables one to splice certain short exact sequences to obtain Massey triangles or to obtain H(E_r) = E_{r+1}. Not sure whether this helps for calculations, but it does help with understanding what's going on with differentials. Cf. Deligne, Décompositions dans la catégorie dérivée, appendix, MR1265526; cf. also Verdier, Des catégories dérivées des catégories abéliennes, MR1453167.

How to Fix Stick Drift PS4 Controller Issue- 5 Effective Fixes
To fix Stick Drift on your PS4 controller, you can try a soft or hard reset on the analog stick. You can also disassemble the analog sticks to clean them or replace the analog sticks with new ones. If none of these options work, you may need to send your controller to Sony for repair.
Before doing so, you can try the following methods to fix the issue:
1. Soft Reset Your PS4 Controller
A soft reset of your PS4 controller can often resolve minor issues, including stick drifting. Follow these steps to perform a soft reset on your controller:
- Access the Settings menu from your functioning controller.
- Next, go to the Devices option.
- Under Bluetooth Devices, select the inactive controller.
- Press the Options button and choose Forget Device.
- Turn off your PS4 console.
- Plug in the controller with a USB cable.
- Press the PS button on the controller when the console starts up again.
2. Hard Reset Your PS4 Controller
You could try a hard reset if a soft reset didn't fix the stick drift on your PS4 controller. Here's how to hard reset your PS4 controller:
- Turn off your PS4 and disconnect the controllers.
- Take the affected controller and turn it over.
- Find the small Reset button near the L2 shoulder button on its back side.
- Use a small unfolded paper clip or a rest tool to press and hold the button for 3-5 seconds.
- Switch on your PS4 controller, and use a USB cable to connect your controller.
- If the issue is resolved, you can start customizing your controller Settings again.
3. Disassemble Your PS4 Controller
If resetting doesn't eliminate the analog stick drift issue, you may have to disassemble your PS4 controller to deep clean or repair it. Here are the steps involved in disassembling a PS4 controller:
- Get a Phillips head screwdriver, a plastic pry tool, and tweezers. For cleaning supplies, grab a cotton swab, rubbing alcohol, and compressed air.
- Turn off your PS4 console and unplug your controller.
- Using the Phillips head screwdriver, unscrew the back panel.
- Once the screws are removed, gently lift the panel off the controller.
- Locate the battery and carefully lift it out of the controller to disconnect it.
- Use the prying tool to pry the joystick modules off the controller gently.
- Once the joystick modules are removed, use a cotton swab to gently clean the inside of the controller and the joystick modules. Be sure to remove any dust or debris inside that may be causing the controller drift.
- After cleaning the controller and joystick modules, reattach the modules and place the battery. Then, place the back panel and screws. Now, your controller should be ready to use again.
But keep in mind that if you are disassembling the controller, it'll void its warranty. Moreover, there is a chance that you might damage any internal component. So, follow these steps only if you can take risks involved in this method.
4. Replace the Analog Sticks
Sometimes, your PS4 stick drift issue may be an indicator of a more serious underlying problem with your analog sticks. So, to fix this, you'd need to disassemble your controller and add the new analog sticks. Here's how to do it:
- Get a Phillips head screwdriver, a flat-head screwdriver, clean cloth, tweezers, and flush cutters. You should also grab a set of replacement analog sticks.
- Follow the steps from 1st to 5th as explained right above (3. Disassemble Your PS4 Controller).
- After disassembling the controller, use the flat-head screwdriver to carefully pry the old analog sticks off the controller.
- If there's dirt or debris inside, use a clean cloth to gently clean the controller and the areas where the analog sticks were attached.
- Follow the instructions that came with your replacement analog sticks to attach them to the controller.
- Once you've attached the new analog sticks, reattach the modules and place the battery. Then, place the back panel and fit the screws.
- Now, connect your controller to your PS4 console to see if the issue is resolved.
But again, it is important to note that dissembling your controller can null its warranty. Not to mention that there is a risk of damage as well. So, I suggest doing so only if you know your way around these hardware and tools.
5. Send the Controller to Sony for Repairs

How to Prevent Stick Drift PS4 Controllers Issues- 5 Best Tips
To prevent stick drift PS4 controllers issues, you should keep your PS4 analog stick clean. You can also use pressurized air to remove accumulated dirt and debris. Moreover, you should protect your PS4 controllers from heat and humidity to reduce the risk of stick drifting issues.
Besides these tips, you can try being gentle with your thumbs while playing to avoid buying a new controller every few months. Keep it in a clean and dry place when you're not using it to prevent any damage. Some ways to make your PS4 controller long-lasting are:
1. Keep Your PS4 Controller Clean
Regularly clean your controller to remove dirt and debris that can cause stick drift for your PS4 controller. Use a dry cloth or napkin to gently wipe down the analog sticks and other components. You can also use a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol.
2. Protect Against the Elements
Avoid exposing your PS4 controller to extreme temperatures, moisture, or other harsh conditions. These can damage the controller's components and cause its sticks to drift in the wrong direction.
3. Use Compressed Air
Hold your PS4 controller with the sticks facing upwards and the buttons facing down. Then, use compressed air to clean it. Shake it gently to loosen any debris inside, then carefully spray a small amount of compressed air into the gaps around the sticks. Be careful not to use too much air, as it can damage the controller.
4. Play Gently
Handle your PS4 controller gently and avoid using excessive force. This is because rough handling can damage its internal components, cause stick drift, and interfere with the sensor. Moreover, it may wear out your controller quickly.
5. Store Your PS4 Controller in a Safe Place
Store your controller in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and other heat sources. This protects the controller against the risk of damaging its components.
Frequently Asked Questions

The Eye of This Chimp Saved From Poachers Changed Color Because of the Physical Trauma It Suffered
Two baby chimps, Felix and Mara, were adopted by Lwiro Primates Rehabilitation Center in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) after their families were poached for bushmeat or the exotic pet trade, the institution announced in a Facebook post on Monday.
"Different day, same story—just like that, these babies have lost the only home they knew," explained the post.
This trauma was so great, staff in the center have said, it caused Felix's eye color to change. Staff at the center believe Felix was beaten, leaving a severe ulcer in his right eye, while the brown hair on his body suggests he experienced severe malnourishment.
"As you can see, the discoloration in one of his eyes is because of trauma," a health update published on Tuesday stated.
While changes to eye color are rare, it can happen—in humans as well as in primates.
Baby Chimps
Mara (left) and Felix (right) had to be rescued after their families were poached. Felix's right eye is discolored from the physical trauma he experienced. _USER_ and _USER_
"The factors that can cause eyes to change colors—or appear to have different colors—include genes, diseases, medications and trauma," Omar Chaudhary, MD, an ophthalmologist in Potomac, Maryland, said in an article for the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
This change in color may relate to the iris or other parts of the eye that can make it appear that the color of the iris is different. One way trauma can change eye color is through uveitis, an inflammation of eyeball's middle layer. Another way is through tissue loss, which can make the iris appear as though it is a different color.
Felix isn't the only one showing physical signs of the ordeal they'd been through. Mara still has bags under her eyes, suggesting she is malnourished and dehydrated.
"Psychologically, she has been very untrusting of humans, and also not as playful as Felix," staff said.
It is not known exactly what happened to Felix and Mara's family but chimps like these are often taken by poachers to feed the market for exoctic pets. According to the BBC, a baby chimp can fetch up to $12,500 on the international market.
Tactics adopted by poachers do not just target the baby chimp, but the entire chimp family who might try to resist the poaching. The prize of one (alive) baby frequently involves the slaughter of up to 10 adults, the BBC reports. They are then often sold for bushmeat.

While the pair may have had a traumatic start to the month, if an update posted on Tuesday is anything to go by, they seem to be adapting well to their new surroundings.
"After a very stressful yesterday, we want to start today by giving some good news—unlike many other babies that we've got before, Felix & Mara are eating and sleeping very well. They're also being playful with each other, and have become very trusting and needy of their human surrogate mamas," the post stated.

text: Portable analytical devices based on a gamut of technologies (Infrared, Raman, X-Ray Fluorescence, Mass Spectrometry, etc.) are now widely available. These tools have seen increasing adoption for field-based assessment by diverse users including military, emergency response, and law enforcement. Frequently, end-users of portable devices are non-scientists who rely on embedded software and the associated algorithms to convert collected data into actionable information. Two classes of problems commonly encountered in field applications are identification and screening. Identification algorithms are designed to scour a library of known materials and determine whether the unknown measurement is consistent with a stored response (or combination of stored responses). Such algorithms can be used to identify a material from many thousands of possible candidates. Screening algorithms evaluate whether at least a subset of features in an unknown measurement correspond to one or more specific substances of interest and are typically configured to detect from a small list potential target analytes. Thus, screening algorithms are much less broadly applicable than identification algorithms; however, they typically provide higher detection rates which makes them attractive for specific applications such as chemical warfare agent or narcotics detection. This paper will present an overview and performance characterization of a combined identification/screening algorithm that has recently been developed. It will be shown that the combined algorithm provides enhanced detection capability more typical of screening algorithms while maintaining a broad identification capability. Additionally, we will highlight how this approach can enable users to incorporate situational awareness during a response.

Is sand called sand because it's between sea and land?
The word sand is thought to have originated from an Old English word, which itself originated from the old Dutch word sant, which became zand (meaning, you guessed it, sand). But I like your theory better, honestly.

My question is how do we know whether to say Ittaqullah and not Attaqullah or Uttaqullah.
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
Kindly explain the rules of how to read a word when one needs to seperate it from the word before it for example I know that when we seperate Ya Ayyuhallazina Amanuttaqullaha and want to say 'fear Allah' on its own, we say Ittaqullaha. My question is how do we know whether to say Ittaqullah and not Attaqullah or Uttaqullah. I remember learning the rule long ago, something to do with the sign (fathah, dhamma, kasra) on the next letter, but have since forgotten.
Please explain with examples from the Qur'an.
Jazak Allahi Kkhair
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
The rules involved in the question are the hamzah al-wasl rules. We have to look at the word beginning with the hamzah al-wasl and determine whether it is a verb, a noun, or a participle. In this case, the word is a command form of a verb. In a verb starting with hamzah al-wasl, we look at the vowel on the third letter, if it is a fathah or a kasrah, then we start the hamzah al-wasl with a kasrah.
To see the detailed lessons on hamzah al-wasl, please see the following link. You will find many examples in the eight different lessons insha' Allah:
Wa iyyaaakum wa-l-muslimeen.

The values that SPARQL's DATATYPE() function returns are similar to, but not exactly the same as the datatype of a literal. In cases where DATATYPE() is called with a typed literal, it returns the datatype of the literal. However, the DATATYPE() function definition also defines two cases in which a value is returned when the literal *isn't* a typed literal:
- If the literal is a simple literal, return xsd:string
- If the literal is literal with a language tag, return rdf:langString
In both of these cases, the literal in question is a plain literal, not a typed literal. With that in mind, hopefully the language used in describing ORDER BY is more clear (that is, "an RDF literal with type xsd:string" is merely one of two possibly argument types for which DATATYPE() may return xsd:string).
I hope this clarifies the issue.
thanks, gregory williams


What is Cryogenic Piping? A brief on Piping material, Insulation, Pipe Sizing, and Hazards.
What is cryogenic piping
When the temperature is very low then the normal piping system is not able to hold the processing gases in the form of liquid. Cryogenic piping is the concept of low-temperature piping where material type, support, and valve have different requirements than a normal piping system.

Kevin Van Leer, senior product manager – Model Product Management, RMS
22:00 UTC Thursday, October 12
After four days of active burning throughout the wine growing regions of Northern California, there are still eight fires threatening both lives and significant amounts of exposure. Conditions conducive to fire ignition and spread persist, and have resulted in extreme fire behavior, especially during the nights of Sunday, October 8, and Wednesday, October 11, in which strong, dry Diablo winds were observed. In total, over 100,000 acres have been burned in Napa, Sonoma, and Solano counties alone, with several additional fires ongoing throughout the state of California.
RMS has produced daily perimeter progressions using the latest satellite information, focusing on the impact of the fires in the three counties noted above. The progressions shown in the figure below highlight the rapid growth observed in the initial hours of the fires from Sunday night through Monday morning. The progressions of the fires are a clear indication of the strength and direction of the winds that were present during this period. Also, shown for context is the perimeter of the 2015 Valley Fire that destroyed over 1,900 structures and 76,000 acres. That fire resulted in approximately US$900 million in insured loss, according to Property Claim Services (PCS).
Using in-house, high-resolution exposure information and the satellite-derived fire perimeters, RMS analysis calculates that the perimeters include approximately 15,000 structures and US$14 billion in total exposure. The table below provides a breakdown of the impacted exposure. The 3,500 structures reportedly destroyed in these fires as of today is in line with RMS historical event research into the fraction of structures within a perimeter that are either damaged or destroyed.
Based on the fire perimeters representative of the information available at the time of this blog post on October 12, RMS estimates an economic loss range between US$3 billion to US$6 billion. Because of the high penetration rate of wildfire coverage in standard residential and non-residential policies, this range also represents an estimate of insured losses. The range includes loss due to property damage, contents and business interruption caused by the burn component of the fires to residential, commercial, and industrial lines of business.
It does not include automobile or agricultural crop losses, smoke damage, or any factor for post-loss amplification. Because of the impacts to the wine industry throughout the region, RMS notes the significant uncertainty regarding the long-term business interruption for this event, which could result in a higher total loss.
It is important to note that these events are still on-going and the perimeters of the active fires may change significantly before containment. Therefore, these exposure and loss estimate are considered preliminary and are representative of the current situations. RMS will continue to provide updates on this event through RMS Owl and this blog.

Antony Green's Q&A
Stephen asks, what convention governs the association of red with Labor and blue with the Liberal Party?
Q: In media coverage of elections, the same colours are commonly assigned to each major political party in graphs, charts and other representations. For example, Labor is usually given red while Liberals are given blue. What is the convention, if any, that governs this? - Stephen Mok
There are no particular conventions. To a large extent, we have adopted the same party colours as used in the United Kingdom. Traditionally, candidates in the UK use rosettes pinned to their chest when campaigning, and it is an old tradition that these rosettes be coloured. The Conservative Party has always been blue, Labour has used the traditional red colour of socialism, and the Liberal Democrats yellow.
We have simply adopted the same colourings in Australia. Until quite recently, the signs stuck up on power poles (known colloquially as corflutes) were blue for Liberal candidates and red for Labor candidates. These days they are often printed in brighter colours, like yellow or hot pink.
We have simply adopted this red and blue convention for the Labor and Liberal parties. The National Party have traditionally been given dark green as their party logo is green and gold. The Australian Democrats have traditionally used yellow in their publicity material. Recently the ABC has adopted the convention of colouring the Greens light green.
Beyond those established colours, ABC-TV has used brown and light blue for other parties in recent years. These colours have been used mainly to distinguish them from other colours used on graphics. Independents and minor party candidates are traditionally been coloured grey.
