Context Menu
The context menu provides actions related to the selected track including import audio, generate drums, apply effects and others.
All of these actions can be reverted and restored again (undo/redo functionality). Theoretically, the number of reversible actions is unlimited, but in practice it is limited by the memory size of your device.
The undo/redo history is deleted both when you close the app and when you open another project.
The context menu can be opened by a single-tap on a track. Double-tap works as well.
"Clear" deletes the audio data of the selected track and resets the mixer level and pan.
Undo the last action(s) on the selected track.
Redo the last undone action(s) on the selected track.
In the pop-up window that opens, the current peak value of the audio signal is displayed first. Use the rotary knob to set a target peak value and perform the normalization by tapping the Normalize button.
The audio signal is amplified (or less often attenuated) so that the new peak value corresponds to the set target peak value. The peak normalization does not change the signal-to-noise ratio, but the noise in the signal is equally amplified together with the useful signal. It should therefore be taken during the recording that the signal is as high as possible.
The gain control can be used to adjust the recording gain, i.e. the gain factor for the audio signal at the input. Technically, amplification is achieved through multiplication in the digital domain.
In principle, the audio signal on the microphone, for example the vocals, should be as loud as possible so that disturbing background noise is as quiet as possible relative to the desired signal. Accordingly, the recording gain should normally be set to 0 dB, since amplification would increase the background noise to the same extent.
Conclusion: This option should be used with care.
The timing of the editing functions refer to the markers, which in turn snap to the metronome settings. From this it follows that, in order to accurately edit your tracks, the timing of your recording must be based on the metronome beat.
Cut Cut the marked area and paste it to the clipboard. The two parts of the track are concatenated.
Copy Copy the marked area to the clipboard.
Copy+Silence Copy the marked area to the clipboard and replace the marked area with silence.
Insert Insert the content of the clipboard at the play position (blue line in the center of the screen).
Overwrite Overwrite the audio signal, starting at the play position, with the content of the clipboard.
Append Append the content of the clipboard to the selected track.
Import an audio file with automatic sampling rate conversion.
Both MP3 and WAV format is supported by Aubade.
Touching "Import…" opens a file browser that shows the audio files on your device. In the top line the current folder path is displayed. The arrow in the right of the top line serves to navigate back in the folder structure. Touch a file to import it.
The audio can be imported either at the very beginning of the track or at the current play position (marked by the blue vertical line). You will be asked for the desired import position.
Note: As the WAV format is a container format it can hold various types of audio: compressed and uncompressed, fixed-point and floating-point representation. Aubade supports uncompressed fixed-point audio, namely 16-bit PCM.
Generate a synthetic audio signal on the selected track.
This can either be drums or metronome. Follow the links below to get to the description of these functions.
Apply an audio effect on the selected track.
Follow the links below to obtain information about the effects.
Shift the selected track in time to align it with the other tracks.
A positive value shifts the track to the right, a negative value shifts it to the left.
The timeshift function is intended for a fine alignment of the tracks. It should be obsolete now since the automatic play/rec latency adjustment runs perfectly on almost every device.
Rename the selected track.
Give the track a descriptive label like "Drums" or "Vocals".

(CE: 194a-226a)
Diaconicon. A diaconicon is a room in a church for the use of the deacons in carrying out their duties. Etymologically the word "diaconicon" means "belonging to the deacon." In antiquity the exact location of the diaconicon in the church does not seem to have been specified. From what is known so far, the designation "diaconicon" was used in Syria for the two side rooms off the apse (pastophoria). Early Christian texts from Egypt attest the diaconicon as a side room in the church accessible from the church proper.
In conformity with the manifold duties of the deacons, the diaconicon accommodated a variety of functions. According to early Christian texts from Egypt, it served, among other things, for the setting up of the incense altar. According to other texts, the sacred vessels were kept there. Thus it is the same as a sacristy (see below). According to G. Graf, the room was called qunumiyyah, which was another word for "sacristy" (Munier, 1930, fol. 60r, 1.12).
A related term is the Arabic diquniyyah, used for a room in which, according to old witnesses, Coptic monks kept their bread (Graf, 1954, p. 46). This is, however, a room in a monastery, not in the church. The designation is rather derived from the diaconia, the institution for poor relief, which was among the oldest duties of the diaconate and later was a particular concern of the monasteries. In the monastery of Saint Matthew the Poor, the diaconia was a building of several stories, from which one could look far into the distance (Till, 1936, p. 12).

Using Difference Lists
I posted my enthusiasm about difference lists for Haskell earlier this month, but then became sidetracked by combinators and reading lists, so, let's get back on track.
Difference lists are a (very) useful data structure in Prolog, particularly when it comes to parsing with definite clause grammars (DCGs) and when it comes to list construction (again, using DCGs). Why? Well, to answer that question, let's examine the structure of difference lists. The Prolog (or relational) representation of a difference list is of the form:
X = [1,2,3|Y] - Y
What that relation describes is that X is the difference of the pair of lists of (first) [1,2,3] appended with the list Y minus (second) the list Y.
Well, what is the value of the list Y? To a Prologian, this question is not important (for Y, being a logic variable, can be any list or, even, not a list at all because the variable is still uninstantiated (a "free" variable)). Its importance is that it gives us an "instant" index into the list after the elements we've already processed. The significance of that index for parsing is that we now have a stream over the parsed (list) data, which gives us the ability to translate BNF grammars directly into working parsers. The significance for list construction is that we "simply" walk "backward" through the DCG to construct a list from a (parsed) internal representation, without paying the linear cost of either (a) traversing the list each time to add a new element (which results in exponential time list construction) or (b) building the list in reverse (adding new elements to the head of the list) and then applying reverse to the end result.
"Big deal!" you scoff, "zippers [also called 'finger trees'] already give us indices into data structures. Who needs a funny-looking specialized zipper just for lists?"
"Good point!" is my response. Zippers are powerful and flexible data structures that not only provide that index over any data structure, but, even better than difference list's index that only goes forward (with any dignity) in constant time, the zipper's index can go both forward and backward through that (generic) structure in constant time. So, if you are not familiar with zippers, I request that you run, don't walk, to a good overview to learn more about their utility.
With all their flexibility and power, in certain situations, a zipper is not the correct choice for some list processing tasks; the difference list's simplicity shines in these situations. First, for the unidirectional index of the difference list (it moves forward through the list well, but backwards... not so much), this, for list construction purposes, is hardly ever an issue, and if it becomes one, then backtracking is easily installed with some MonadPlus magic. Next, you, the coder, are responsible for constructing a zipper list data type each time you need one, but Don Stewart has provided Data.DList; no construction necessary! Last, an example structure of a zipper list, for the list a++b is (reverse a,b), so if we wish to reconstruct the original list, for an a of large magnitude, we still pay the linear (reverse) cost in reconstruction as well as the linear cost of appending b to that result.
You heard it here first, folks — difference lists: [zipper lists] can't touch this!
Okay, I've finished throwing it down for now. Let's look at difference lists from the Haskell perspective and then use this data structure in a list construction example.
> import Data.DList
For my examples, I'm going to be looking at the subset of difference lists that I can compare and see:
> instance Eq a => Eq (DList a) where
> x == y = toList x == toList y
> instance (Eq a, Show a) => Show (DList a) where
> show x | x == empty = "\\x -> [x]"
> | otherwise = "\\x -> [" ++ show (head x)
> ++ doShow (toList (tail x)) ++ ":x]"
> where doShow [] = ""
> doShow (a:b) = ", " ++ show a ++ doShow b
With the above instance declarations, we see that
(singleton 1) 'snoc' 2 'snoc' 3
gives us the representation
λ x. [1, 2, 3:x]
... snoc appends an element to the end of a list (so it's the reverse of cons).
Prologians are always smug with their ability to create an infinite stream of 1s with X = [1|X]. And, no doubt about it, Prolog is a programming language that makes list construction easy... *ahem* almost as easy as list construction in Haskell ("Your list comprehensions outshine even Prolog for sure..."):
repeat 1
... and now with difference lists...
let x = unDL (singleton 1) x in x
But no self-respecting Prologian would freeze their interpreter with a such a rash proof; Haskellians have no such concern, thanks to weak head normal form:
take 5 (repeat 1)
So there!
Let's examine an application of difference lists. I have a little scanner that I use to help me in my oration. The meat of the algorithm (before difference lists) was as follows:
> lettersIn word = lettersIn' word []
> lettersIn' [] ans = reverse ans
> lettersIn' (h:t) ans | isLetter h = lettersIn' t (h:ans)
> | otherwise = reverse ans
Ugh, yes, reverses galore! This is an oft-recurring pattern in Haskell code that is very easily fixed with some difference list magic:
> lettersIn word = lettersIn' word empty
> lettersIn' [] ans = toList ans
> lettersIn' (h:t) ans | isLetter h = lettersIn' t (ans 'snoc' h)
> | otherwise = toList ans
A very simply example, I grant you, for if we take a list whose elements are all in the set of the alphabet, the above code is a very complicated way of reinventing the id function. Or, put another way, who's going to teach me about scanl? Hm, would I be required to use the continuation Monad to escape the scan, I wonder? But you get the general idea for list construction, right? Instead of building the list by adding to the head ("cons"ing) and then applying reverse to the result, the different list allows one to "snoc" each element and return the correctly ordered result. For a single list construction, the benefit may not be all that obvious, but when one builds, e.g., an XML generator for a complex internal representation, reversing the reverse of the reversed reversed child element becomes an odious labour — difference lists eliminate all the internal juggling, replacing that complication with a straightforward constant-time list and element in-place append.
So, next time you need to do some list construction, instead of falling back on the reverse standby, flex your new difference list muscles; you'll be pleasantly surprised.

"zippers [also called 'finger trees']"
Um. No they're not. A finger tree is a totally different data structure to a zipper. A zipper is a view into another data structure with a "special point" in that structure. A finger tree is an tree designed for sequences with fast concat, append and prepend.
Finger tree:

I wonder why you didn't write
lettersIn (x:xs) | isLetter x = x : lettersIn xs
lettersIn _ = []

Or even better:
lettersIn = takeWhile isLetter
Jim Apple said...
David R. MacIver:
Yes, finger trees aren't the same as zippers, but zippers are really just fingers. Finger trees could have been called zipper trees if Kaplan & Tarjan hadn't gotten there first. Their fingers are actually special points in trees, along with a path from those points to the root, just like a zipper!
Jim Apple said...
I like difference lists. However, I think anything you can do with a difference list you can do with constant-time-append deques, which provide other operations as well:
Kaplan & Tarjan's simpler real-time version
Okasaki's amortized-time version
Chris Rathman said...
Might be worth noting that the book Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming has a nice explanation of Difference Lists using Oz in section 3.4.4. I translated the code to Alice ML, where futures can used to get the same effect.

Pseudonym said...
Yes, because breaking the logical interpretation of unification is a virtue in logic programming.
(Actually, I think that Prologians are secretly happy every time they come up with a way to do anything at all in Prolog. I digress.)
What I actually wanted to say was that I found it amusing that you used "show" rather than "shows" in an article about difference lists.

MALE aggression only develops if the female hormone oestrogen is present, say researchers at the Kochi Medical School in Japan.
A team led by Katsumi Toda found that male mice engineered to lack aromatase, an enzyme that converts male hormones to oestrogen, showed no aggression when other mice invaded their territory.
Their aggressive behaviour was partly restored if they were given oestrogen supplements starting soon after birth. But if the oestrogen was given seven days after birth, aggression did not return. The findings will appear in the

It is professional practice for an employer to send an appointment letter to any rightful appointee. An appointment letter confirmation should be given in any case where a certain person or employee is appointed for a specific position. However, to eliminate errors and write more accurate appointment letters, employers should consider writing a draft or a preliminary version of it.
Sample draft appointment letters are acknowledged as a letter outline before a person is scheduled for a meeting appointment. Drafts serve a similar purpose to that of a blueprint that structure letter content before finalizing an appointment through a letter.
A draft appointment letter may not be considered as the final document yet but it is still essential for one to come up with an efficient appointment letter. Sample appointment letters reflect a good structure because of well prepared draft appointment letters.
Here are steps on how to prepare a draft appointment letter:
Drafts are good preparation tools that should not be missed in appointment letter writing. Observance of the steps above ensure that generated appointment letters are of quality.
Abrupt decisions, most especially when writing appointment letters, often lead to inaccuracy of correspondence. Using draft appointment letters allow one to commit errors since such letters are not yet finalized for sending. All appointment letter examples are products of draft appointment letters utilized throughout the entire letter preparation process.
Draft appointment letters are also flexible and dependent upon circumstances. It could still be subject to change whenever recommended. Hence, if teacher appointment letters, for example, are to be issued for specific employees and the need to change may arise, draft appointment letters are easy to change.
The many uses that could spring out from draft appointment letters could be summed up in 2 important points as reflected below:

Introduction: The Mysterious Breed of Hagrid's Dog
Hagrid's loyal and formidable companion, Fang, has been a constant presence throughout the Harry Potter series. With his enormous size and intimidating appearance, many fans have wondered about the breed of this enigmatic dog. Despite being one of the most recognizable characters in the wizarding world, the true origins of Fang's breed remain shrouded in mystery. In this article, we will delve into the fascinating world of Fang and attempt to uncover the secrets behind his breed.
Fang: A Loyal Companion to Hagrid
Fang, a boarhound, has been by Hagrid's side since he was just a puppy. Despite his intimidating size and appearance, Fang is known for his gentle and loyal nature. Throughout the series, he is often seen accompanying Hagrid on various adventures, proving his unwavering loyalty and dedication to his owner. Fang's presence provides both comfort and protection to Hagrid, making him an invaluable companion.
Unveiling the Origins of Fang's Breed
The boarhound, also known as the Great Dane, is the breed that best aligns with Fang's physical characteristics. Great Danes are known for their large size, muscular build, and imposing appearance. While the specific origins of Fang's breed within the wizarding world remain unknown, it is likely that Hagrid acquired him from a magical source, given the extraordinary nature of the creatures in Hagrid's care.
The Physical Characteristics of Fang
Fang's physical appearance is a defining aspect of his character. Known for his massive size, Fang towers over most other dogs, standing at least six feet tall on his hind legs. His body is muscular and well-built, with a broad chest and powerful limbs. His coat is short and bristly, usually black or dark grey in color. Fang's expressive eyes and droopy jowls contribute to his gentle and somewhat comical appearance.
Temperament and Personality Traits of Fang
Despite his intimidating appearance, Fang possesses a gentle and affectionate temperament. He is known for his friendly and patient nature, always eager to please and interact with those around him. Fang's loyalty to Hagrid is unwavering, and he has shown great bravery in protecting his owner and his friends when danger arises. Fang's calm and steady demeanor make him an ideal companion for Hagrid and a beloved character in the series.
Historical Context: Hagrid's Choice of Breed
Given Hagrid's love for magical creatures and his natural affinity for larger and more unconventional animals, Fang's breed choice aligns with Hagrid's character. The boarhound's imposing size and protective instincts make them well-suited for Hagrid's lifestyle and the dangerous situations that often arise in the wizarding world. Hagrid's choice of Fang as his loyal companion reflects his own personality and the need for a trustworthy and formidable companion.
Theories and Speculations Surrounding Fang's Breed
Over the years, numerous theories and speculations have emerged regarding Fang's breed. Some fans believe that Fang may be a crossbreed, while others suggest that he might belong to a rare magical breed. However, without concrete evidence from the books or author J.K. Rowling herself, these theories remain purely speculative, adding to the allure and mystery surrounding Fang's breed.
Expert Opinions: Identifying Fang's Canine Heritage
While there may not be any definitive statements about Fang's breed within the Harry Potter series, dog experts and enthusiasts have offered their insights. Many agree that Fang's physical characteristics align closely with those of a Great Dane. The breed's size, build, and appearance make it the most likely candidate for Fang's breed. However, without official confirmation, these opinions remain educated guesses.
Comparing Fang to Popular Dog Breeds
When comparing Fang to popular dog breeds, the Great Dane stands out as the most obvious resemblance. Other breeds, such as the Neapolitan Mastiff and the Bullmastiff, share some physical similarities with Fang but do not quite capture his distinctive appearance. Fang's size, coupled with his gentle personality, sets him apart from most other breeds, making him a truly unique character in the wizarding world.
The Impact of Fang's Breed on the Harry Potter Series
Fang's breed plays a significant role in the Harry Potter series. His imposing size and intimidating appearance add an element of danger and excitement to the story. Fang's presence also serves as a reminder of Hagrid's love for extraordinary creatures and his ability to form deep and meaningful bonds with animals. The inclusion of Fang's breed helps create a rich and diverse world within the Harry Potter universe.
Fang's Role in Hagrid's Life and the Wizarding World
Fang's role in Hagrid's life and the wizarding world cannot be overstated. As Hagrid's loyal companion, Fang provides both emotional support and physical protection. His presence serves as a symbol of Hagrid's nurturing nature and his deep connection with magical creatures. Fang's unwavering loyalty and bravery make him an integral part of Hagrid's life and a beloved character among fans.
Conclusion: The Enigma of Fang's Breed Unraveled
While the true breed of Fang may remain a mystery within the Harry Potter series, the evidence points towards him being a boarhound or a Great Dane. Fang's physical characteristics, temperament, and his compatibility with Hagrid's lifestyle all align with this breed. However, the absence of official confirmation allows fans to continue speculating and adding to the allure and enigma surrounding Fang's breed, making him one of the most intriguing characters in the wizarding world.

Ordered binary decision diagrams (OBDDs, often simply called BDDs) are a technique, originally published by Randy Bryant, for the efficient simplification of Boolean expressions. In ACL2 we combine this technique with rewriting to handle arbitrary ACL2 terms that can represent not only Boolean values, but non-Boolean values as well. In particular, we provide a setting for deciding equality of bit vectors (lists of Boolean values).

Ever wanted to change the resolution of a virtual machine (in VirtualBox) and couldn't find the resolution you want in the settings? You can easily do this using VBoxManager, a command line tool that lets you control various aspects of your virtual machines.
There's one thing you need to know before trying this: you need to install the VirtualBox Guest additions before trying to set a high resolution or else it won't work.
To change the resolution of any running virtual machine, look for its name in VirtualBox Manager VM list and run the following command:
VBoxManage controlvm "MACHINE NAME" setvideomodehint WIDTH HEIGHT BPP
Replacing "MACHINE NAME", WIDTH, HEIGHT and BPP (bits per pixel - 24 or 32) with your values.
In my example, the machine name is "10.10":
So the command to change the resolution to 1280x800 would be:
VBoxManage controlvm "10.10" setvideomodehint 1280 800 32

Imagine taking a handful of stirred-up hornets and throwing them in front of a hunter. This is similar to what the latter faces when a flight of blue-winged teal swarms over his decoys. The main difference is, with the birds he's not in danger of being stung, except perhaps by the embarrassment of empty shell hulls floating on the water with no feathers beside them!
Truly, these little ducks are tricky targets. They come in a darting mass rather than a graceful formation like mallards or pintails. While bigger ducks glide with natural grace, teal scramble like a midget hockey team.
In September, waterfowlers take to marshes, ponds and sloughs to try for these feathered rockets. Bluewings, especially, leave their northern nesting grounds at the first hint of fall, heading toward wintering areas in Mexico and Central America. Most of these birds are long gone by the time later, regular duck seasons open. Thus, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service allows a special early teal season in years when the population forecast is abundant for these birds (in excess of 3.3 million) on the breeding grounds.
These seasons are held between September 1 and 30, and season lengths vary by flyway. The bag limit is usually four birds. Some states like Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee have a five-day special teal and wood duck season. (Check your state game regulations for season length and bag limit in your state.)
This early season is typically a time of sweat-mopping, mosquito-slapping and shell-popping fun. It also offers a preview/tune-up for later seasons when the big ducks arrive. Here's how you can score on the early season fun.

In waking life red is often associated with danger or as a warning symbol. It is also the color of love, duly trotted out every Valentine's Day. In the realm of dreams, the color red has differing connotations depending on the context.
 1. 1
 2. 2
 Note the meaning of red in dreams. Red can stand for anger, danger, passion, love and fertility. Red is clearly associated with emotions in dreams and its appearance, especially if it is vivid in your mind upon waking, carries great portent. Red is also energizing and it may be a call to you to take some of your energy and put it to good cause to see through a beloved project, activity or wish.
 3. 3
 Assess the meaning of red in your dream. You will need to draw on the context of the dream to assess which emotions are being targeted by the dream, for example, whether anger or love are the predominant emotions through the dream. Red may also be an indicator of fertility, revealing the ripeness and readiness of a womb.
 4. 4
 Match the object in the dream with the color for a complete interpretation. Are you dreaming a volcano that is spewing forth? In which case, you may be expressing anger and irritation that is being suppressed in your waking life. If you see a bride in a red dress, you may be dreaming of love, good fortune, and fertility. If you dream of a red sports car, it may be that you are wishing for an injection of energy in your life to get you moving through a stagnant period in life.
 5. 5
 Think about how likely an interpretation is, judging on your life at the time. For example, if you think it means fertility and you are menopausal, you are probably wrong.
 - Red can still serve as the color of warning. Use the rest of your dream to draw on for context but if there is a predominance of red and you are left with an impression on waking that something is very wrong and needs adjusting quickly, red is likely to have served as a warning sign, like the ubiquitous "Stop!".

"Punishment in Kindergarten" is a little autobiographical poem by the famous Indo-Anglian poet Kamala Das. She recalls one of her childhood experiences. When she was in the kindergarten, one day the children were taken for a picnic. All the children except her were playing and making merry. But she alone kept away from the company of the children. Their teacher, a blue-frocked woman, scolded her saying.
"Why don't you join the others, what
A peculiar child you are!"
This heard, all the other children who were sipping sugar cane turned and laughed. The child felt it very much. She became sad at the words of the teacher. But the laughter by the children made her sadder. She thought that they should have consoled her rather than laughing and insulting her. Filled with sorrow and shame she did her face in a hedge and wept. This was indeed a painful experience to a little child in the nursery school.
Now after many years she has grown into an adult. She has only a faint memory of the blue-frocked woman and the laughing faces of the children. Now she has learned to have an 'adult peace' and happiness in her present state as a grown-up person. Now there is no need for her to be perturbed about that bitter kindergarten experience. With her long experience in life she has learned that life is a mixture of joy and sorrow. She remembers how she has experienced both the joy and sorrow of life. The long passage of time has taught her many things. She is no more a lonely individual as she used to feel when she was a child. The poet comes to a conclusion that there is no need for her to remember that picnic day, when she hid her face in the hedge, watching the steel-white sun, that was standing lonely in the sky.
The poem is written in three stanzas, each having different number of lines – the first with seven lines, the second with six and the third with nine. The poem does not follow any regular rhyme scheme. The subject matter of the poem has two parts, the first of which being the description of the painful experience of the kindergarten days and the second, the adult's attitude to the incident at present when she is no more a child.
The poet seems to be nostalgic about her childhood days. There are certain expressions in the poem that are worth remembering. The poet says that the child buried its face in the hedge and "smelt the flowers and the pain". "Smelt the flowers can be taken as an ordinary expression, but "smelt the pain" is something very evocative and expressive. In the first stanza of the poem, the poet describes the pain caused to the child, "throwing words like pots and pans". This again is beautiful. The phrase used by the poet to describe the child's teacher, namely, "blue-frocked woman" can be justified from the child's point of view. But to the poet who is an adult the use of the phrase looks a little too awkward. On the whole, the poem can be taken as the poet's interest in remembering her childhood days.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT IN EGYPT, AN ATTRACTIVE EXPELLING ENVIRONMENT FOR FDI: AN ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE
This study's focus is to provide a model that would facilitate assessing and analyzing business environment in developing countries. Chapter one presents an overview of the research topic, the research problem, the research importance, the research objectives, and the research questions, it also provides the outline of the thesis structure.
Since each city in Egypt differs in their way of living, beliefs, culture, traditions and customs, future research can benefit from focusing on the country as a whole rather than choosing certain regions. When collecting data from different cities, the researcher will be assured that almost all viewpoints, perceptions, perspectives, and evaluations are covered. Thus, this data collection method will help obtain representative information that can be generalized to Egypt. It is also highly recommended that future studies should be replicated in different regions in Egypt to compare different results and to apply it in different countries for cross-cultural analysis. These outcomes that will be developed accordingly will help foreign investors to know which city in Egypt is the most attractive city for profit and operation success.|

Christoff Rudolff (born 1499 in Jawor, Silesia, died 1545 in Vienna) was the author of the first German textbook on algebra.
Rudolff was from 1517 to 1521 a student of Henricus Grammateus (Schreyber from Erfurt) at the University of Vienna and was the author of a book computing, under the title: Behend und hübsch Rechnung durch die kunstreichen regeln Algebre.
He introduced the radical symbol (√) for the square root. It is believed that this was because it resembled a lowercase "r" (for "radix"), though there is no direct evidence. Cajori only says that a "dot is the embryo of our present symbol for the square root" though it is "possible, perhaps probable" that Rudolff's later symbols are not dots but 'r's.
Furthermore, he used the meaningful definition that x0 = 1.

cback-span - Span staged data among multiple discs
cback-span [switches]
This is the Cedar Backup 2 span tool. It is intended for use by people who back up more data than can fit on a single disc. It allows a user to split (span) staged data between more than one disc. It can't be a Cedar Backup extension in the usual sense because it requires user input when switching media.
Generally, one can run the cback-span command with no arguments. This will start it using the default configuration file, the default log file, etc. You only need to use the switches if you need to change the default behavior.
This command takes most of its configuration from the Cedar Backup configuration file, specifically the store section. Then, more information is gathered from the user interactively while the command is running.
The main difference between Cedar Backup version 2 and Cedar Backup version 3 is the targeted Python interpreter. For most users, migration should be straightforward. See the discussion found at cback(1) or reference the Cedar Backup user guide.
-h, --help
Display usage/help listing.
-V, --version
Display version information.
-b, --verbose
Print verbose output to the screen as well writing to the logfile. When this option is enabled, most information that would normally be written to the logfile will also be written to the screen.
-c, --config
Specify the path to an alternate configuration file. The default configuration file is /etc/cback.conf.
-l, --logfile
Specify the path to an alternate logfile. The default logfile file is /var/log/cback.log.
-o, --owner
Specify the ownership of the logfile, in the form user:group. The default ownership is root:adm, to match the Debian standard for most logfiles. This value will only be used when creating a new logfile. If the logfile already exists when the cback script is executed, it will retain its existing ownership and mode. Only user and group names may be used, not numeric uid and gid values.
-m, --mode
Specify the permissions for the logfile, using the numeric mode as in chmod(1). The default mode is 640 (-rw-r-----). This value will only be used when creating a new logfile. If the logfile already exists when the cback script is executed, it will retain its existing ownership and mode.
-O, --output
Record some sub-command output to the logfile. When this option is enabled, all output from system commands will be logged. This might be useful for debugging or just for reference.
-d, --debug
Write debugging information to the logfile. This option produces a high volume of output, and would generally only be needed when debugging a problem. This option implies the --output option, as well.
-s, --stack
Dump a Python stack trace instead of swallowing exceptions. This forces Cedar Backup to dump the entire Python stack trace associated with an error, rather than just progating last message it received back up to the user interface. Under some circumstances, this is useful information to include along with a bug report.
-D, --diagnostics
Display runtime diagnostic information and then exit. This diagnostic information is often useful when filing a bug report.
This command returns 0 (zero) upon normal completion, and six other error codes related to particular errors.
The Python interpreter version is < 2.7.
Error processing command-line arguments.
Error configuring logging.
Error parsing indicated configuration file.
Backup was interrupted with a CTRL-C or similar.
Other error during processing.
Cedar Backup itself is designed to run as root, since otherwise it's difficult to back up system directories or write the CD or DVD device. However, cback-span can be run safely as any user that has read access to the Cedar Backup staging directories and write access to the CD or DVD device.
/etc/cback.conf - Default configuration file
/var/log/cback.log - Default log file
The project homepage is:
If you find a bug, please report it.
If possible, give me the output from --diagnostics, all of the error messages that the script printed into its log, and also any stack-traces (exceptions) that Python printed. It would be even better if you could tell me how to reproduce the problem, for instance by sending me your configuration file.
Report bugs to <> or by using the BitBucket issue tracker.

Damped oscillation
An oscillator is anything that has a rhythmic periodic response. A damped oscillation means an oscillation that fades away with time. Examples include a swinging pendulum, a weight on a spring, and also a resistor - inductor - capacitor (RLC) circuit.
Suppose we have an RLC circuit, which has a resistor + inductor + capacitor in series.When the switch closes at time t=0 the capacitor will discharge into a series resistor and inductor.
Now, the voltages and current in this circuit can be given by
and V= initial voltage C = capacitance (farads) R = resistance (ohms) L = inductance (henrys) e = base of natural log (2.71828...)
Critical Damping
We can use these equations to discover when the energy fades out smoothly (over-damped) or rings (under-damped).

Lansweeper treats the monitors in your network as separate devices with their own asset page. Because a monitor does not directly connect to your network, Lansweeper adds it as an asset when it scans the connected Windows computer. Lansweeper finds this information in the computer's registry
Any IT network usually contains a considerable number of computer screens. Although they have their own asset page, they do not count towards the assets limit of your Lansweeper license.
Scanned monitor information
Like with most other devices Lansweeper will retrieve the basic information from your monitor, including but not limited to:
 - Asset type
 - Device description
 - Manufacturer
 - Model
 - Serial number
For certain brands (Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo), Lansweeper attempts to retrieve warranty information from the manufacturer.
Automatic Relations
The information about your monitors is scanned from the registry of the Windows computer they are connected to. This allows Lansweeper to automatically create an asset relation between the monitor and computer.
Once scanned, each monitor also receives a unique identifying key, based on the manufacturer code and serial number. When you move a monitor and connect it to a different computer, Lansweeper recognizes it and creates a new asset relation on the existing asset page. This also allows you to keep track of your monitor's history.
Most networks have more monitors than computers. Having two screens per computer, and more in stock is not uncommon. With Lansweeper, you can keep track of your monitor's history even while it's unused.

Using directional antennas to conserve bandwidth and energy consumption in ad hoc wireless networks has attracted much attention of the research community in recent years. However, limited research has focused on applying directional antennas to broadcasting. We devise a link reduction (LR) based broadcasting protocol for ad hoc wireless networks using directional antennas. LR outperforms most existing omnidirectional and directional broadcasting schemes in the sense that its normalized transmission cost and redundancy are significantly reduced, and consequently it is more bandwidth and energyefficient. Based on 2-hop neighborhood information, LR relies on no location or angle-of-arrival (AOA) information. LR is a localized protocol and it achieves full delivery in ideal networks. Simulation is conducted in ideal networks where packet collision, channel contention, or node mobility is avoided.

The essential moisture control product for veneer. The key is proper drainage and ventilation.
The Glen-Gery Drainage Mat is an all-wall engineered rain screen drainage and ventilation mat for all sidewall applications including manufactured brick and stone. The Glen-Gery Drainage Mat creates a rainscreen concept without the cavity wall cost. It also helps neutralize the air pressure differences between the outer and inner wall, which greatly reduces the opportunity moisture has to infiltrate the wall system.
When there is a significant air pressure difference between the outside environment and the inner wall system, moisture is driven into a wall system via cracked sealant joints caused by the expansion and contraction of building materials over time. Diffusion and capillary action play a major roll in moisture migration as well. By building with the Glen-Gery Drainage Mat, the wall system will not only drain correctly, but ventilate as well. It has been proven that ventilation in a convective fashion will dry the wall out significantly quicker than conventional methods.
In residential construction the siding is often installed directly against the weather resistive barrier. Once moisture gets past the veneer it has nowhere to escape. This will often lead to call backs for moisture related issues, such as mold and rot, which become costly for both the homeowner and the contractors involved. Glen-Gery's Drainage Mat is the clear choice to avoid these moisture-related issues.
- Perfect for brick and stone.
- Creates a dedicated airspace behind veneer for enhanced drainage and ventilation.
- Helps to prevent moisture problems, mold growth, and premature wall assembly deterioration.
- Integrated insect screen.
- Class A Flame Spread Rating.
- 30-day UV exposure (max).

From the mid-15th century Venice dominated the European tableware market with exotic, beautifully-made glasses that were exported widely. To contemporaries, 'Venetian' was a term denoting both quality and style - though by the late 16th century, 'Venetian-style' glass was being made in Antwerp, Amsterdam, London and other European centres, as well as in Venice.
'Venetian-style' glass was very clear and colourless ('cristallo') - though now it often appears cloudy or greyish. Opaque white, bright blue and other deep colours also appear. Glassblowers often used ribbed or patterned moulds - for example, to make beakers or drinking-glass stems - and pre-formed glass 'canes' of contrasting colours to produce striped or mesh effects. Some glasses were gilded, enamelled or engraved.
The Museum's collection is particularly important for studying the final stages of the 'Venetian style' in the 17th century. For 'Inghistera' bottles (made in Venice and elsewhere from the 15th century), see the Medieval section.

Yesterday I directed you to identify a power source that provides you with compassionate energy and then to be a conduit of that energy, passing it from your identified external source through you and on to another. As we begin our promotional work of compassion today, ambassadors, please consider this concept in more detail.
A power plant draws energy from a fuel source, in the process producing heat. This heat converts water to steam that turns a turbine and generates electricity. In identifying your external power or fuel source yesterday, you put this equation into practice. Today's mission, if you choose to accept it, is to do it again, but this time by fueling your compassionate energy from a different external source.
If you used a person as your power source yesterday, try a different kind of source, like an inspirational book or movie, or a physical act like meditation. If you didn't use a person as a source of your compassionate energy, do so today. In either case, find an external source that inspires you, become inspired by it today, and then transmit that inspiration, that positive energy, into an act of care, concern, warmth, or love. This can be to a person, to another species, to the planet or in any other way that resonates with you.
As I will remind you each day, should your actions or those of any of the Ambassadors of Compassion be exposed, it will increase the positive ripple effect and create more awareness of love in the world. As such, we at IKT HQ sincerely request that you report your activities on the Compassion Map.
Good luck, ambassadors. We are counting on you.
(For those of you working with children, begin by having them talk about the acts of kindness they performed yesterday. See if you can help them put into words how these power sources, these important people in their lives, inspired their kind acts. Ideally, this sharing with other children will give them ideas for acts of kindness they can perform today, and give you the opportunity to show how they, the children, are now acting as power sources of compassion for each other.)

If you mean UK miles, that would be 77.25 lengths!
50 lengths of 25 metres = 1250 metres = 0.7767 miles (to 4 dp)
In a 25m pool it is 200 lengths
45 lengths x 25m = 1125m 1125m x 3.3 ft per meter=3712.5 feet 3712.5 feet / 1 mile (5280 feet) =0.703 miles
100 lengths of a 25m pool
There are 1500/25 = 60 lengths of 25cm
3.1 mi =4._PHONE_ kilometers(4._PHONE_ kilometers) / (25 meters) = 199.558656 or 200 lengths.
Approximately 1 609.344 lengths.The English channel is approximately 25 miles wide, and doing the math, you get 1609.344 lengths of a 25m pool
1.4 miles = 2253.08 metres = 90.12 lengths of 25m
4 lengths of a 25M pool, 2 lengths of a 50M pool.
32 lengths of a standard training pool 25m
10 lengths of a 25m pool
2.5km = 2500m 2500m / 25m ('standard' pool length) = 100 lengths
5000 (5k) meters divided by 25 meters =200 lengths
39 lengths of a 50m pool 20 lengths of a 25m pool 43 lengths of a 50yard pool 22 lengths of a 25yard pool
If you mean 5 kilometers, it is 200 lengths.
1 kilometre = 1000 metres. You now have all the information required to work out, for yourself, the answer to this and similar questions.
4 lengths of 25m (not 25km) is 100m So 4x4=16 lengths to make 400m
_PHONE_ lengths of a (standard) 25m pool - that's going to take a long time!
///well, first you figure out how many laps in a 50metre pool then times 2. The answer is 60 laps of the 25 metre pool./// Your actually wrong. 1 lap = 2 lengths. Its 60 lengths or 30 laps Tom :)
It depends on the length of the pool. In a 25m pool, it is 6 lengths.
100 I know this because i used to swim 5k
It depends on how long the pool is, most swimming pools are either 25m or 50m long thus 1km (or 1,000m) will be 40 lengths in a 25m pool and 20 lengths in a 50m pool


3D cloud reconstructions: Evaluation of scanning radar scan strategy with a view to surface shortwave radiation closure
[1] The ability of six scanning cloud radar scan strategies to reconstruct cumulus cloud fields for radiation study is assessed. Utilizing snapshots of clean and polluted cloud fields from large eddy simulations, an analysis is undertaken of error in both the liquid water path and monochromatic downwelling surface irradiance at 870 nm of the reconstructed cloud fields. Error introduced by radar sensitivity, choice of radar scan strategy, retrieval of liquid water content (LWC), and reconstruction scheme is explored. Given an infinitely sensitive radar and perfect LWC retrieval, domain average surface irradiance biases are typically less than 3 W m−2 µm−1, corresponding to 5–10% of the cloud radiative effect (CRE). However, when using a realistic radar sensitivity of −37.5 dBZ at 1 km, optically thin areas and edges of clouds are difficult to detect due to their low radar reflectivity; in clean conditions, overestimates are of order 10 W m−2 µm−1 (~20% of the CRE), but in polluted conditions, where the droplets are smaller, this increases to 10–26 W m−2 µm−1 (~40–100% of the CRE). Drizzle drops are also problematic; if treated as cloud droplets, reconstructions are poor, leading to large underestimates of 20–46 W m−2 µm−1 in domain average surface irradiance (~40–80% of the CRE). Nevertheless, a synergistic retrieval approach combining the detailed cloud structure obtained from scanning radar with the droplet-size information and location of cloud base gained from other instruments would potentially make accurate solar radiative transfer calculations in broken cloud possible for the first time.

What is the pressure needed to contain a 1 molar electron gas at room temperature?
I'm not sure how to work out the thermodynamics, but I can do the calculation at low temperatures (i.e. where the system will be found very close to its ground state).
For ease of calculation, we will take the container to be spherical. Say the container has volume \(V\) and there are \(N\) electrons inside.
From basic electrostatics we know that the ground state of this system will have all the electrons at the surface. A straightforward calculation gives the surface area of the container as \(A = 4\pi\left(\frac{3V}{4\pi}\right)^{2/3}\). So we get a surface charge density of \[\sigma = Ne/A = \frac{Ne}{4\pi} \left(\frac{3V}{4\pi}\right)^{-2/3}.\]
A surface with net charge density feels an electrostatic pressure of \(\frac{\epsilon_0}{2}E^2\) where \(E\) is the magnitude of the electric field just outside the surface. By Gauss's law and the vanishing of the electric field in the container's interior this is \[P = \frac{\epsilon_0}{2}E^2 = \frac{\epsilon_0}{2}(\sigma/\epsilon_0)^2 = \frac{\sigma^2}{2\epsilon_0}\]
Putting it all together \[P = \frac{N^2 e^2}{32\pi^2\epsilon_0} \left(\frac{3V}{4\pi}\right)^{-4/3}\] Putting \(N = 6.022 \times 10^{23}\) and \(V\) = 1 dm3 we obtain the result
\(P \sim 2.25 \times 10^{23}\) pascals
This is about 10 million times greater than the pressure at the core of the sun.
A curious feature is that the pressure is not related to the particle density \(N/V\) in any straightforward way. This is because the electrostatic repulsion between electrons is a long-ranged force and the expressions for the virial coefficients diverge.


Why Don't Old Games Work On New Computers?
We are guessing that old games will run much smoother on the new powerful PC and laptops! right?.. Wrong! even if you use Windows compatibility mode to run your old games, you will fail most of the time!! BUT WHY?
The powerful new hardware is a tiny part of the story. The real direct reasons are the architecture which those games are written for. And here are all the reasons why old games don't work on modern computers.
1. Old Games Are 32 bit
Most modern computers use 64 bit CPUs and 64 bit operating systems (Windows OS in this case). The 64 bit architecture is faster and allow more than 4 GB of RAM. But every program or game need to be coded to run on either 32 bit system or 64 bit system. This means that Windows OS will emulate 32 bit system to run old 32 bit programs and games. But this will not work for most games because some games try to use some incompatible code in form of DLL file. A windows update might break a dependency that the game relies on.
Some of game won't run at all because some of their code was written for 16 bit systems.
2. Multi-threaded Technology
Modern CPUs are designed to split a given program workload to run on multiple cores. This type of design lead to a more performance. But it is horrible for the games which is written for the one core old CPUs.

Blackbirds, primarily Agelaius phoeniceus, cause extensive losses to sprouting rice in southwestern Louisiana. Methiocarb applied to seed prior to planting at rates above 1.0 g a.i./kg rice (0.1%) has provided excellent protection to sprouting rice in Louisiana under conditions of high bird pressure. To reduce treatment costs, some farmers have used over-flights of methiocarbtreated seed applied at low rates to part of the field after draining. This study showed this technique was not efficacious under conditions of high bird pressure. Four fields treated in this manner suffered 98% loss of sprouts compared to 100% loss in four untreated fields. Large flocks of blackbirds (> 3,000) fed in all treated and untreated fields during the first four days after draining. Blackbirds were evidently able to distinguish between treated (ungerminated) and untreated (germinated) seed. Large feeding flocks of blackbirds were composed almost entirely of females (x = 94%; n = 17); it is not known whether these birds were residents or migrants. We recommend that future studies investigate the efficacy of using mixtures of methiocarb-treated seed and untreated seed at planting time for reducing blackbird damage to sprouting rice. Blackbirds cause extensive losses to sprouting rice in southwestern Louisiana. Methiocarb applied to rice seed prior to planting at rates above 1.0 g a.i./kg seed provided excellent protection to sprouting rice in Louisiana under conditions of high bird pressure (Holler et al. 1985). Use of methiocarb by growers under emergency (Section 18) exemption from the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) has been low, largely due to the high cost of treating all rice seed used in planting (Holler et al. 1982, 1985). In 1985 we determined the feasibility of protecting newly planted rice fields from blackbird damage by aerially applying treated seed on the fields upon completion of drainage after planting. This method has been used by farmers in Louisiana and subjective evaluation of its effectiveness has been inconclusive. If efficacious, this method would provide the grower with a measure that could be used after planting when bird pressure is known to be high. It would also reduce residues in drainage water and it would result in substantial reduction in the cost of protection. Personnel of the Crowley, Louisiana Field Station, U.S.D.A. (formerly U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), provided logistical support. A. Wilson, Rice Research Station, Louisiana State University, Crowley, Louisiana collected sprout count data from one field. Mesurol -' 75% Seed Treater for this test was provided by the Mobay Chemical. Corporation, Kansas City, Missouri. The study was conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior. The Animal Damage Control Program, including the Denver Wildlife Research Center, was transferred to USDA-APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) on 3 March 1986.

A Lemma on Nonzero Jacobians
Okay, let's dive right in with a first step towards proving the inverse function theorem we talked about at the end of yesterday's post. This is going to get messy.
We start with a function and first ask that it be continuous and injective on the closed ball of radius around the point. Then we ask that all the partial derivatives of exist within the open interior — note that this is weaker than our existence condition for the differential of — and that the Jacobian determinant on. Then I say that the image actually contains a neighborhood of. That is, the image doesn't "flatten out" near.
The boundary of the ball is the sphere of radius :
Now the Heine-Borel theorem says that this sphere, being both closed and bounded, is a compact subset of. We'll define a function on this sphere by
which must be continuous and strictly positive, since if then, but we assumed that is injective on. But we also know that the image of a continuous real-valued function on a compact, connected space must be a closed interval. That is,, and there exists some point on the sphere where this minimum is actually attained:.
Now we're going to let be the ball of radius centered at. We will show that, and is thus a neighborhood of contained within. To this end, we'll pick and show that.
So, given such a point, we define a new function on the closed ball by
This function is continuous on the compact ball, so it again has an absolute minimum. I say that it happens somewhere in the interior.
At the center of the ball, we have (since ), so the minimum must be even less. But on the boundary, we find
so the minimum can't happen on the boundary. So this minimum of happens at some point in the open ball, and so does the minimum of the square of :
Now we can vary each component of separately, and use Fermat's theorem to tell us that the derivative in terms of must be zero at the minimum value. That is, each of the partial derivatives of must be zero (we'll come back to this more generally later):
This is the product of the vector by the matrix. And the determinant of this matrix is : the Jacobian determinant at, which we assumed to be nonzero way back at the beginning! Thus the matrix must be invertible, and the only possible solution to this system of equations is for, and so.


I have a tikzpicture generated in Python using tikzplotlib:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import tikzplotlib
vector = np.array([1, 2, 3])
plt.figure(figsize=(6, 4))
plt.plot(vector, vector)
Now if I change the figsize in Python, the image size in my Python environment will indeed change. But in a LaTeX document, where I import the tikzpicture using \input{test.tex}, the size is not changed. How can I define the size in either Python or LaTeX, without stretching the text/numbers as well, that should remain the standard size of the LaTeX text? The solutions mentioned in this question do not solve my problem.

 The answer to that is actually given in the Readme of matplotlib2tikz: github.com/nschloe/matplotlib2tikz (just scroll down a bit) – Torbjørn T. Aug 13 '17 at 20:00
 - Indeed. I had not searched in the right place. Point 2 of Usage answers the question. I invite you to repeat your comment as an answer, and I will accept it. – Karlo Aug 13 '17 at 20:06
 - _USER_ Why did you change the code? I have used matplotlib2tikz and not tikzplotlib. – Karlo Jul 8 '19 at 21:54
 - 1
 Author here. Renamed matplotlib2tikz to tikzplotlib recently. – Nico Schlömer Jul 9 '19 at 6:32
As described in the Readme, tikzplotlib has the possibility of setting the width and/or height of the plots, using the figurewidth/figureheight keys for tikz_save:
tikz_save('someplot.tex', figureheight='5cm', figurewidth='9cm')
I believe that these lengths refer to the size of the axis box alone, not including ticklabels, axis labels and titles.
You can alternatively set the values to macros, and define lengths by those names in your document, i.e.
 figureheight = '\\figH',
 figurewidth = '\\figW'
and in your LaTeX document:
Some text, then a centred plot:
More text, then a wider plot:
\setlength{\figW}{10cm} % when added inside the center environment it has no effect outside it
This is basically the same as for matlab2tikz (See my answer to tikz+matlab2tikz), except that the key is figurewidth/figureheight, instead of width/height.
In version 0.9.3 you seem to need axis_height and axis_width, rather than figureheight and figurewidth.

In this paper, we re-examine the properties of two commonly adopted government reimbursement schemes for pharmaceuticals: reference pricing and fixed percentage reimbursement. We depart from the previous literature by assuming that the individual demand is price-sensitive and depends on the copayment rate (i.e., the part paid by each consumer). We obtain two novel results under reference pricing: first, as the copayment rate increases, so do pharmaceutical prices; second, this increase in pharmaceutical prices reduces social welfare. Whilst reference pricing does emerge as a preferable reimbursement scheme, demand elasticities and the copayment rate interact in complex ways. This leads (unexpectedly) to the possibility that a higher copayment rate (lower reimbursement rate) results in higher government expenditure.

March 30, 2010
A group of UW-Green Bay students traveled to South Dakota over Spring Break to build relationships with the Lakota people, to learn about their culture, and to participate in service. The group visited Wounded Knee, the mass-burial site of 150 unarmed native men, women, and children who were massacred by the Seventh Cavalry in 1890. The U.S. government awarded Medals of Honor to more than 20 of the soldiers.
So what is honor? Personal characteristics associated with honor include self-respect, dignity, courage, fidelity, and excellence of character. To honor someone is to treat him/her with esteem, respect, and civility.
How can we, as members of the UWGB community, act honorably? We might start here: Treat everyone with dignity, work collaboratively rather than competitively, keep commitments, focus on community needs and interests rather than on an individual's personal agenda, refuse to give up easily, and learn constantly. What else can we add to this list?
Central to acting honorably is being able to identify our values and convictions. When all is said and done, what really matters to you, and are you living according to these convictions? If we value honesty, we must live honestly. Can others identify what you value by how you live your life? As Ralph Waldo Emerson stated: "What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say."
Think about a person of honor in your life. Who would you name and why? What makes him/her honorable?
In honor of the Lakota people who welcomed the UW-Green Bay students into their homes and their lives, I share this Lakota prayer:
Wakan Tanka, Great Mystery, teach me now to trust my heart, my mind, my intuition, my inner knowing, the senses of my body, the blessings of my spirit. Teach me to trust these things so that I may enter my Sacred Space and love beyond my fear, and thus Walk in Balance with the passing of each glorious Sun…

If it's under your control, I suggest you rethink the way you encode those button states into an integer. Using bit masks or bit fields would make it much simpler and cleaner, and you could simply extract each set of bits representing the state of a given input and pass it to some common code to work out what to do with it, applying your fallback logic to treat a 'hold' as a 'press' etc where that was sensible. A 32-bit int would be sufficient to support eight inputs with four bits each which seems to be more than you need, and is very handily fits a hex output format with one hex character per input which help with debugging/logging.
Paul Beaudet
The suggestion the encoding blows is something I agree with. However it does add a degree of complexity having the chords be represented by 32 bits vs 16 because these values are actively be drawn from and assigned in eeprom. I guess I'm just not sure how chop a long into bytes and reassemble them again.
I did show a preset layout in progmem here, but that is just to get by and doing testing on things other then the currently buggy learning algorithm. Like for instance this noise filter. In the ultimate designed working state of the device the layout is somewhat fluid, 'learning the user' initially and reassigning itself given common error making eeprom essential.
I will do some research on bit mask and bit fields though, thank you for the reference, Peter.

Purpose: To explain the orientation angles used for Inertial Labs devices and how they relate to one another.
Last Updated: August 2019
What's the difference and why does it matter?
Euler angles are generally what most people consider when they picture 3D space. Each value represents the rotation in degrees (it could technically be in any units) around one of the 3 axes in 3D space. Most of the time you will want to create angles using Euler angles because they are conceptually the easier to understand. The flaw is that Euler angles have a problem known as the gimbal lock that prevents certain rotations when two axes align. The solution: quaternions.

Difference Between Civil engineering and Architecture
architectureCivil engineering vs Architecture
You may already have an idea on the process of designing and the construction of buildings, mansions, and other edifice; and you know for a fact that the job requires professionals like Architects and Civil Engineers.
It is very likely that your idea of their work is vague. Maybe when you think of architects, you would only visualize a person making drawings on large sheets of paper and when you think of civil engineers, you imagine someone with a hardhat analyzing on the field of construction, yelling instructions to workers involved in the assembly. If you were thinking along these lines, though stereotypical, you are to some extent accurate.
However, there are marked differences between the fields of architecture and civil engineering. In fact, the two practices have well-defined responsibilities that make them distinct from each other.
Architecture is mainly a practice of designing structures with aesthetics and spatial functionality in mind. Architects may have the basic to advanced knowledge of structural mechanics but their primary focus is always, first and foremost, the creativity, look and feel, and functionality of the design. Structural vision starts in the field of architecture.
Civil engineering, also referred as structural engineering, specializes in the structural elements of systems, ensuring that facilities can withstand normal and extreme loading conditions. Civil engineers work closely with architects and they are responsible for making the vision of architects into a realization. Civil engineering deliberates on the physics involved in the construction process of the architect's design.
Civil engineering may also tackle the particulars of design but the practice is often not concerned with the aesthetics and intended function of structures. Civil Engineers will rather focus on innovative ways to make the design work. When they see something in the design as impractical, they can suggest a design modification from the ones involved in the architectural department.
A good engineer-architect relationship is vital to have a more efficient, high quality project result.
A good civil engineer will always give the best efforts to make the design into a reality. A good architect, on the other hand, will always consider the practicality of the design so it can be built with less cost and at a faster rate. They may overlap each other's work but in the ideal world, each has its own expertise to be esteemed.
1. Architecture is more into the creativity of designs. Civil engineering focus on innovation to realize that design.
2. Architecture involves the design of structures with the focus on aesthetics and functionality. Civil engineering will not normally care about those things; Civil Engineers will rather deliberate and plan the methodology to construct the design.
3. Architecture initiates the project through architects' drafts. Civil engineering involves studying drafts and examining the practicality of the design; civil engineers ensure that the design can withstand normal and extreme loading conditions.
4. Architects will need engineers help to make their designs work. Civil engineers will be guided by the architectsÂ' outlines and dimensions.

Epistylis in Koi and Pond Fish Ponds
Epistylis is a relatively uncommon parasite of Koi, goldfish and pond fish. Indeed, it is so uncommon, that I do not have any good graphics of it. What you would see clinically is a tuft of whitish fluff coming out from under a scale, or from some other wound on the Koi, goldfish and pond fish. It gives the impression of a fungal infection but looks radically different under the microscope. Usually, fish with Epistylis are rather hale, considering they are parasitized. Epistylis does not occur in tanks or environments which are clean, and which have a low organic load. You would normally expect to find Epistylis in unfiltered ponds and lakes on common pond fish. I have not recovered Epistylis from any of the finer, aquarium raised Koi, goldfish and pond fish. I have cleared the few cases I have seen in ponds with massive water changes, removal of the organic load in the system, and the application of 0.3% saline.
The organism is clinically relevant because many people treat these cases as if they were funguses; eventually killing the fish with useless treatments and arriving at the conclusion that fungus is hard to cure. Indeed, they were treating Epistylis with anti fungal remedies and not addressing the true cause of the Epistylis infection = Filth!
The condition of Epistylis is prevalent, but not very common in the typically cleaner environments encountered with Koi, goldfish and pond fish keepers.

What is the difference between debt funds and fixed deposit?
I have been investing in FD but I want to start investing in debt funds. Should I invest in debt fund or FD? Is debt fund risky?
Pijush Kanti Biswas
Debt fund is a mutual fund which invests most of the money gather from investors into fixed income instruments like corporate bonds, government bonds (both state and central), bonds issued by banks, certificate of deposit, treasury bills etc.
Fixed Deposits(FDs) is investment instrument provided by banks or NBFCs, which gives you fixed return on money you parked in these institutes, until the given maturity date.
Definitely investment in debt mutual funds is much better option than parking your money in bank Fixed Deposits(FDs).
Reason being:
 - No deduction of taxes or TDS on the earning from debt funds. Whereas, the interest earned on FDs are fully taxable at the normal rate applicable to the investor along with yearly deduct TDS on interest income from the FDs.
 - Debt funds are highly liquid which can be easily converted in to cash that too within a day time.
 - Debt funds generally gives you higher return on investment as compared to FDs.
 - Debt funds are much flexible in terms of transfer where as amount invested on FDs cannot be transferred to other banks.
Both fixed deposits (FDs) and debt mutual funds are low-risk investment financial instruments and were used to be seen as comparable investment options. But recently after demonetisation, major Indian banks, in both public and private sector, have revised the interest rates they offer on FDs. Country's largest lender, State Bank of India (SBI), cut its interest rate on FDs to 6.90% for maturity period of 1-year and to 6.50% for maturity periods between 3 to 10 years, which is lowest in the industry now. Whereas, return on debt mutual funds are around 9-11% annually. In such a scenario, parking your surplus cash in debt mutual funds is a wise investment.
While it is true to say that debt funds are much safer mutual funds, but they are not risk free like the way bank fixed deposits (FDs) are. Still debt funds are best option for an investor with low risk appetite aspiring for higher returns as compared to FDs.
Some popular example of debts funds:
Happy Investing!
Arpit Chandak
This is the most common question now a days for the investors as most of the people have started shifting towards debt funds. The major difference between them is that mutual funds have the advantage of tax adjusted returns over the fixed deposits.
Differences between debt funds and fixed deposits:
Tax: Returns from fixed deposits is your interest income and hence, tax is deducted on it. Banks also deduct TDS on interest from fixed deposits. However, for debt funds, there is no such TDS deduction. If they are on hold for more than 36 months, then only 20% tax is levied.
Returns: Fixed deposits returns are usually in the range of 6% to 7% only. However, the returns from debt funds have proven to be slightly higher in comparison to fixed deposits. Few debt funds such as Intermediate government bond category has provided returns even up to 10.08%.
Risk: Although bank deposits are considered to be the safest, mutual fund industry is also closely regulated and monitored by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
Liquidity: Fixed deposits have a lock-in period i.e. you withdraw before maturity date, you have to pay certain charges. On the other hand, debt funds are completely liquid. You can withdraw your amount anytime plus your returns on that part of investment.
Flexibility: The amount once invested in fixed deposits, cannot be transferred to other banks. However, debt funds provide flexibility in terms of transfer. You can transfer the amount from one fund to another in case the particular fund is not performing up to the expectations.

In this paper we propose a general framework for learning distributed representations of attributes: characteristics of text whose representations can be jointly learned with word embeddings. Attributes can correspond to a wide variety of concepts, such as document indicators (to learn sentence vectors), language indicators (to learn distributed language representations), meta-data and side information (such as the age, gender and industry of a blogger) or representations of authors. We describe a third-order model where word context and attribute vectors interact multiplicatively to predict the next word in a sequence. This leads to the notion of conditional word similarity: how meanings of words change when conditioned on different attributes. We perform several experimental tasks including sentiment classification, cross-lingual document classification, and blog authorship attribution. We also qualitatively evaluate conditional word neighbours and attribute-conditioned text generation.

Council of Europe publishes report on minority languages in Slovakia
Strasbourg 28 February 2007. The Council of Europe Committee of Ministers made public the first report on the situation of minority languages in Slovakia on 21.02.07.
On the basis of this report, the Council of Europe calls on Slovakia to improve its legislative framework in favour of minority language protection. In particular, it asks the Slovak authorities to review the remaining restrictions on minority language use in all spheres of public life, including the limitation of administrative use to those municipalities where at least 20% of the population are minority language speakers.
This report has been drawn up by a committee of independent experts which monitors the application of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages.
Further to the report, the Committee of Ministers has adopted a series of recommendations addressed to Slovakia. These include:
- Improvement of the provision of minority language education
- A stronger presence of minority languages in the media
- Promotion of awareness and tolerance concerning minority languages in Slovak society at large
In Slovakia, 9 minority languages are protected under the Charter: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, German, Hungarian, Polish, Romany, Ruthenian and Ukrainian.
The full text of the report and the Committee of Ministers' recommendations can be downloaded from the Charter's website: _URL_ ("Reports and Recommendations" section).
Further information can also be found on the Charter's website, or by contacting the Charter Secretariat (Directorate of Co-operation for Local and Regional Democracy, DG I - Legal Affairs, Council of Europe, F-67075 Strasbourg, _EMAIL_)

ESSENTIALS: MAKE IT SIMPLE
Accurately test your aquarium's salinity with a
Portable Refractometer. Simple to use, optical instrument gives a direct, temperature compensated reading of specific gravity and salinity.
Deep Six Hydrometer's unique design takes true water samples for accurate reading.
Instant Ocean Hydrometer economically tests your aquarium's salinity and specific gravity.
Specific gravity measures the relative salinity (amount of dissolved salts) in your aquarium water in comparison to pure water. Measuring specific gravity on a regular basis is crucial to maintain the ideal environment for your marine inhabitants. The following helpful tips will ensure accurate results when measuring specific gravity.
- Most hobbyists use a simple hydrometer or a refractometer to measure salinity.
- For professional results consider a portable refractometer or a high tech electronic salinity monitor.
- Before changing your aquarium water, measure and record the specific gravity. Make sure the new saltwater matches the specific gravity of your aquarium. Too much of a deviation in salt levels could "shock" or potentially kill sensitive aquarium inhabitants.
- Replenish evaporated water with clean freshwater - not prepared salt water. Remember, salts remain behind after water evaporates. If you top off your aquarium with salt water, you are compounding salt levels in your aquarium.
- Before using a new swing-arm hydrometer, condition or "season" the hydrometer by soaking it in saltwater for 24 hours.

FAQs About Refractometers
What does a refractometer do?
Serious hobbyists know that the best way to measure the salinity and specific gravity of aquarium water is to use a refractometer. These precision optical instruments are incredibly accurate even at very low salt levels, and are equally easy to use. Recently, these instruments have become more affordable, so now every aquarium owner can have one to help monitor water conditions.
How do I use it?
Place 1 to 2 drops of aquarium water onto the prism glass and close the plate cover. Once a fluid sample is placed on the measuring surface, the light passing through it slows and bends. The refractometer focuses this bent light on a tiny internal scale. The scale is magnified by the eyepiece lenses so it is easily visible.
Look through the eyepiece and view the scale. The top portion of the scale appears blue and the bottom part appears white. Take your reading at the intersection of these two colors. One side of the scale measures salinity and the other side measures specific gravity.
To effectively monitor your marine aquarium water conditions, consider investing in a refractometer. The accuracy and affordability make it worthwhile.

X-Ray and Energy-Loss Spectroscopy
The signals used in energy dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) are caused by inelastic scattering (involves loss of energy) of electrons as they pass through the sample. These techniques form the basis of analytical microscopy and enable qualitative and quantitative compositional analyses, elemental mapping, and electronic property analysis for a wide range of elements. The field emission gun of the F20 UT scanning transmission electron microscope allows these analyses to be performed on a nanometer, and, in some cases, on an atomic scale. The characteristic X-rays typically used in EDS are created when high-energy electrons of the beam eject inner shell electrons from atoms in the sample, and the ionized atoms return to their lowest energy states by replacing the missing inner shell electrons by electrons from the outer shells. This process results in either the emission of an X-ray or an Auger electron, whose energy of emission is characteristic of the difference in energy of the two electron shells involved, thereby providing a unique signature to identify the type of atoms present. In an EDS spectrum, we see sharp peaks corresponding to the characteristic X-rays emitted by the atoms of the different elements present in the sample.
EELS looks at the energy distribution of the electrons that have been inelastically scattered while passing through the sample. Low energy losses (< 50 eV) correspond typically to electrons that have interacted with the weakly bound outer-shell electrons of the atoms in the sample and provide information about the electronic properties of the material. High losses (> 50 eV) correspond to electrons that have been inelastically scattered by the inner electron shells and so contain information characteristic of the atoms in the sample. A typical EELS spectrum contains both a series of peaks at low energies created by plasmon oscillations or other phenomena and a series of low intensity ionization edges at high-energy losses, whose onset position is characteristic of the different types of atoms in the sample. The fine structure of the ionization edges can provide information on chemical bonding and atomic configurations.

Now that we have looked at editing existing sounds, let's start creating some new ones from scratch.
- In an empty part, go to the Main > Edit view. In the Mapping Editor, right-click and choose Create Keygroup > Synth Template.
- A new keygroup has been created, mapped to the full key and velocity range.
- Play a few notes, and you will hear a simple sine wave oscillator. Let's change that to a sawtooth wave, by clicking the Waveform and choosing Sawtooth from the menu.
- We can continue building our sound by editing the other synth engine parameters, such as enabling Stereo mode and adding additional voices.
- To stack multiple synth sounds, we can add a second synth keygroup. Let's choose Create Keygroup > Synth Template a second time, and another keygroup will be stacked on top of the first. For this keygroup, let's choose one of the oscillator's factory presets, such as "Accordion".
- Perhaps instead of stacking these sounds, this could be a split program instead, with one sound for the left hand and another for the right hand. To do that, we'll need to adjust the key ranges of the keygroups so they don't overlap. Right-click in the Mapping Editor and choose Select All, then choose Resolve Overlapping Key Range.
The keygroups can now be easily edited separately. For example, the key and velocity ranges could be further adjusted by dragging the edge of the keygroup.

February 3, 2020 will be the start of the fourth grade's Artist in Residence. We will be welcoming Christina Delgado. During the residency, students will be asked to bring in an object that symbolizes something important in their life. They will be taking photos of this object and then writing a poem to tell it's story.
Using a concept called "literacy through photography," students take photographs of objects that represent who they are or something about themselves. In this residency, the experience of creating the photographic image along with the photograph itself helps students write descriptive short sentences about why the object represents them.
Day 1 (February 3rd): Camera Use
Day 2 (February 5th): Composition
Day 3 (February 7th): Symbolism
Day 4 (February 11th): Gallery Walk
At the end of the residency, we will have a culminating activity in the cafeteria. All parents of fourth graders are invited to take a gallery walk of the students work from 3pm to 3:40pm on Tuesday, February 11th.
This residency is made possible by the following:
