A seasonal decomposition of the estimated size of a penguin population at Phillip Island, Australia
Modern non-parametric methods allow the estimation of a population size under weaker conditions than the classical methods if there are frequent capture occasions. Here a non-parametric estimate of the number of penguins occupying Summerland Beach, Phillip Island, Australia, was computed. This estimator did not assume equal catchability of individuals, did not assume a parametric form for the population size as a function of time and allowed individuals to leave and re-enter the population.

Urban Ants Handle Heat Better
The heat of cities is transforming how urban ants respond to extreme temperatures, providing glimpses of the impacts that changes in global climate might trigger, an international team of scientists now reports.
Cities can be 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than surrounding rural zones, with their asphalt roads and other features absorbing and holding more of the sun's energy than natural landscapes. Researchers call this the urban "heat island" effect.
The researchers investigated colonies of leaf-cutter ants (Atta sexdens rubropilosa) inside and outside of São Paulo,Brazil, South America's largest city with a population of more than 11 million people. They focused on how well urban and rural ants tolerated extremes of heat and cold in experimental chambers.
At 107.6 degrees Fahrenheit, the scientists found urban ants lasted 20 percent longer than ants from outside the city before the extreme heat knocked them out. Surprisingly, although the researchers expected that extreme cold would knock city ants out faster, they found urban ants recovered from storage at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) in ice-entombed Petri dishes about as fast as ants from outside the city.
"We don't know whether this pattern will hold up for other species or other cities, but people should certainly be looking," researcher Michael Angilletta of Indiana State University said in a prepared statement. "Ultimately, this research could help us to understand how species will respond to global climate change."
"We will construct thermal maps using satellite images recorded over several years," said researcher Qihao Weng at Indiana State University."These maps will enable us to assess the potential biological consequences of urban warming and identify suitable sites for future experiments."
The scientists report their findings Feb. 28 in the journal PLoS ONE.

My question was downvoted, even though it showed research effort. Why was it downvoted?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
People downvote for various reasons, but the
That means that there are at least three reasons to downvote:
Let's take each of these reasons in turn:
No Research Effort:
In this example, the user has not attempted to look up this information by themselves. If they did, they would have their answer. In the unlikely chance they didn't understand the answer, then they'd be able to at least point to the research they've done:
Question is unclear:
In this example, the user doesn't really explain the fundamentals of their question. The words "not work" entail that there's a reason something doesn't work, and the compiler, although obtuse, does at least spit out errors. The user didn't include those error messages, making the question impossible to answer.
Question is not useful:
This question is a very basic question that has no use to anyone, anywhere. It is literally the first thing you'd learn in any book you read. Because it's such a non-useful question, it should be downvoted (though not closed).
Your question certainly had research effort, but it was potentially not clear or not useful, as one comment seems to point to:
It was potentially not useful because this seems to be a basic question for Java.
Again, these are only possible reasons why people should downvote. People can downvote for whatever reason they choose. I wouldn't get too hung up on it.
Yes, this is the appropriate place.
You can also ask in comments on your questions why they have been downvoted and if you do get comments that a question is not good, you can, in comments ask the commenter what you can do to improve the question.
Note that there are several resources on the web that you will probably be directed to:
(please add other relevant resources if you know of them)
From your SO question:
my money is in that someone found offensive that you didn't leave a link to that solution.

The Great Flood of 2011, Thailand: A Firsthand AccountDate: March 28th, 2012
Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Thailand has a tropical climate with monsoon rains that come every summer. In 2011, the rains were unusually heavy, with a sequence of typhoons sweeping across southeast Asia. Regions of Thailand are now experiencing the worst floods in over fifty years, as water immerses villages, farms, and factories. The volume of water is so vast that more than half the country has already been flooded.

Bread and Baguette
Bread is essential in the French food and gastronomy traditions. The most famous French bread is obviously the 'Baguette', considered to be the obvious and perfect ally of a French cheese like a camembert.
A baguette is a long and crispy loaf of bread. The bread can be up to one meter in length and generally weighs around 250 grams. Other names of the famous baguette in English are 'French bread' or 'French stick'.
The baguette bread in fact resembles its "cousin", the Vienna bread, being a kind of brioche bread baguette. Many variations of the baguette do exist in France, like the epi baguette, with a shape representing a sheaf of wheat.
The famous Epi Baguette.
Baguettes are a type of bread being closely connected to France and especially to Paris. Loaves of bread in France are not all baguettes as you will see in any French boulangerie shop. A short bread can be a bâtard, a short slim bread is a flûte whilst an even thinner one is a ficelle (a "thread").
Baguettes are ideal for sandwiches. Eaten with paté or cheese, they are outstandingly tasteful. The continental breakfast thus makes use of slices of baguette that French people like to spread with jam and butter and then drunk in a bowl of coffee or hot chocolate.
A classic Baguette bread.
Other French baguettes variations consist in bread being made with different ingredients like rye, sesame, hemp and poppy seeds. Some more modern ones include dry or candied fruit like raisins, nuts, oranges, pineapples or even figs.

Computing Surface area with Photoshop
I'm not actually sure where this ought to go, but I decided that scratch builders would probably be the most interested. Please let me know if it belongs elsewhere.
Computing the area of a plane's wings (or other surfaces) can be complicated, involving lots of geometry and assorted arithmetic. This method requires none of those. (Well, okay... maybe a little bit of simple math.) It works with any shape, no matter how convoluted. Here's how to do it:
Load a plan into Photoshop.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Even though your plans may be in grayscale, and we will be working in black-and-white, Photoshop must be set to RGB color mode for this to work. (Image / Mode / RGB Color)
Let's say we have this wing.
Using whatever method works best for you – I generally select an area with the 'magic wand tool' and fill it with the foreground color – convert it into black and white, where white is the wing and black is the background. Make sure these colors are pure, 100% white and black. This is crucial!
Now, from the menu, choose Filter / Blur / Average. This will turn the entire image into a solid rectangle of gray:
All that remains is to measure how light or dark the resulting gray is.
Now we're ready to make the final calculation. Let's say the original plan – the entire sheet – is 24″ tall by 20″ wide. That's 20×24 = 480 in^2, or 480 square inches. Photoshop tells us that, in our example, 34% of those pixels were white (that's why our resulting gray had a brightness of 34%). That means the surface area of the wing, itself, is 34% of 480 in^2 or 163.2 in^2.
This method isn't just useful for wings. Let's say these rough plans for a plane are to be printed at 28″x16″
Converting them to black and white, then averaging them…
…yields a brightness of 59%. 28×16 = 228, the area of the plans. 59% of 228 is 134.5. So the surface area of all the parts on that plan will be about 134.5 square inches (134.5 in^2). I happen to know that Dollar Tree foam weighs 0.19 grams per square inch with the paper on. That means that all the parts on this plan, when cut from Dollar Tree foamboard, will weigh approximately 0.19 * 134.5 (25.5) – grams.
Thats a very 'nerdy' way to do it - I like it!
have you checked your results on a simple plan form - say a rectangle and circle of known dimensions - to see just how accurate the results are?
I have checked it on several simple plans - white circle on black square, white triangle on black square, etc. etc. etc.
It seems to be dead on the money. The attached, for example, works out to 72%.
It's a circle inscribed within a square. The ratio of the surface area of a circle with diameter N to the surface area of a square of side N is about 78% (78.54).
Then there's a little square, 1/16th the area of the big one. 1/16 is 6.25%. 78.54 - 6.25 = 72.29. Photoshop reports 72%.
I just completed my first real world test today - cutting plane parts for which I had previously calculated the surface area and weight - and it came out dang near perfect! :)
That's really ingenious, but given the very high cost of Photoshop and the contrived and long-winded method to measure area might it not be a lot easier/cheaper to measure area directly in a free CAD program such as Draftsight?
The procedure is pretty simple:
I win the cheapest award.
I run a piece of string around the perimeter. Divide the length by 4.
Multiply the number by itself.
So far so good.
Yes. I am VERY old. :)
That works pretty well if your wings are rectangular (which most wings are. :D)
I never meant to imply that this was the way to compute surface area; it's just a trick I thought of that I sometimes find convenient and wanted to share. A lot of people have an old version of Photoshop sitting around.
For me, it's a way to take something like this:
and quickly see that, say, with a 24" wing span, that plane would have about 147 square inches of wing surface. With a 48" wing span, the wings will weigh just shy of 4 ounces if I make them out of Dollar Tree foam with the paper on, etc. etc.

Eating disorder link to dieting mothers
GIRLS whose mothers are on a diet are almost twice as likely to have an eating disorder, a poll of more than 500 teenagers has found.
Many girls say their mother has the biggest influence on their own self-image and they feel damaged by the effects of their mum's dieting and views on food.
The survey of 512 teenage girls, aged between 12 and 18 found that 6 per cent had an eating disorder, rising to one in ten among those whose mothers diet.
Almost four out of ten girls said their mother had the biggest influence on how they perceived themselves.
Two-thirds of those surveyed said they had heard their mum complaining about her own weight and 56 per cent have mothers who are on a diet
– despite 68 per cent describing their mother's body size as normal.
Other findings include:
- Just over half of teenage girls surveyed have dieted, rising to 59 per cent among those girls whose mothers diet.
- Almost eight out of ten girls worry about their weight – 20 per cent say they worry about their looks all the time.
- One in five girls said they are criticised by family members for being "too big" and 51 per cent of those say they have been hurt by hearing their parents talking about their size. Almost one in three have been called names like "elephant" by relatives.
- Some 9 per cent of teenage girls say they are "constantly" on a diet. Among girls whose families comment on their weight, this rose to 24 per cent.
The survey was carried out among readers of teen magazine, Sugar. Its editor, Annabel Brog, said girls were heavily influenced by their family's views on diet and food – what she described as their "thinheritance".
And psychologist Amanda Hills said: "Children learn how to behave by watching their parents … at least half of the people I see with an eating disorder admit that there are problems with eating in the family."

JAMES, D. M., CARRE, M. J. and HAAKE, S. J. (2005). Predicting the playing character of cricket pitches. Sports engineering, 8 (4), 193-207.Full text not available from this repository.
A cricket pitch is a prepared strip of compacted soil and closely mown turf onto which the bowler projects the ball. The surface is of fundamental importance to the game and groundstaff seek to ensure that the ball rebound is of sufficient pace, bounce and consistency to promote skill in both the batsman and bowler. The scientific understanding of the factors that influence the playing quality of a pitch is incomplete and groundstaff often rely on experience and 'rules of thumb'. A major programme of research was undertaken to determine the effectiveness of a range of pitch measurement apparatus that are perceived to provide indications of playing character. Over three seasons, 18 fieldwork visits were completed at 11 different first-class county grounds. Pitches were tested at the end of each match and direct assessments of pace, bounce and consistency were achieved by employing an artificial bowler and high speed video arrangement. Measurements of surface friction, hardness and restitution were also recorded. It was found that no single pitch measurement was able to provide a reliable indication of pace or bounce, but, when the measurements were combined in a simple Newtonian model, good predictions of pace were achieved. The study revealed a simple method by which groundstaff can predict pace during crucial stages in pitch preparation. However, the study also showed that bounce is affected by levels of pitch deformation and that development of impact models and bespoke measurement tools is needed to reliably predict variation in bounce.

Calisphere Exhibitions are curated sets of items with scholarly interpretation that contribute to historical understanding. Exhibitions undergo an editorial review process.
We invite Calisphere contributing institutions to propose and create exhibitions. They can be developed solely by institution staff or in partnership with other experts. Read on for more information, or scroll down for the key documents.
Please note that the Calisphere exhibition development and review process is new, as of Fall 2017. We encourage you to contact us early in your planning process, and we appreciate your patience as we work together to refine this workflow.
Please note: we are currently not accepting exhibitions proposals, due to staffing transitions. We expect to open the proposal process again in early 2019.
Why create a Calisphere exhibition? Because you can:
- Bring digital content to life for users. Tell a story about items in one or more collections from your institution and across Calisphere, adding captions and context that expand on the existing metadata.
- Collaborate with other librarians, professors, graduate students, and community members. An exhibition can be the basis for a great intern or class project.
- Raise the visibility of your digital objects. Exhibitions are the most highly accessed pages on Calisphere and drive significant traffic from Google.
The following content guidelines apply to all prospective exhibitions:
- Exhibitions can only contain items that have been contributed to Calisphere, since the platform works, technically, by pointing to persistent identifiers on the site. "Content contributed to Calisphere" means any item with a Calisphere URL: content harvested from other systems, legacy content harvested from the OAC and -- if you are a UC contributor -- content published through the DAMS workflow. Note that you can propose an exhibition in advance of contributing the items, but we will not be able to publish that exhibition until the items are live on Calisphere.
- Exhibitions are scholarly works that help users understand topics. When considering proposing an exhibition, we encourage you to think about the unique story you can tell; the light you can shed on a given subject, biography, or historical moment; and/or the argument or thesis you can advance using Calisphere items as examples or evidence.
- Exhibitions can contain items contributed to Calisphere by multiple institutions. If you choose to include items contributed by other institutions, we encourage you to reach out to those institutions to collaborate. CDL can facilitate contact with those institutions.
- Exhibitions must be well-researched and historically accurate, as determined by the institutional sponsor (see "Roles and Responsibilities" below).
- All exhibitions are required to contain overview text, and it is highly recommended that they contain several item-level captions. More granular content requirements are specified in the Exhibition Curator's Template that is used in the curatorial process.
- All exhibitions will be assigned a CC-BY license to allow users to use and adapt the content. The license will apply to the interpretive copy but not the digital items themselves.
Because most of the exhibitions currently on Calisphere pre-date these guidelines, we recommend you review the exhibition After-Lives of the Vietnam War as a model.
Roles and Responsibilities
The development of an exhibition requires the following roles and responsibilities on the part of the proposer (though the same person may serve multiple roles):
- Project owner: this person will submit the exhibition proposal (see "Process Overview" below), serve as the main point of contact on the project for CDL and the Exhibition Review Committee, and provide any needed project management to curators and/or the affiliated institution(s) to ensure the development of the exhibition proceeds smoothly.
- Curator(s): the author(s) of the exhibition, who will select and order the items, conduct research as needed, and write interpretive copy. Curators must have expertise in the subject/items described, demonstrated research experience, and/or the appropriate oversight from a recognized "expert" (e.g. a student under the tutelage of a faculty or staff advisor).
- Institutional sponsor / affiliation: every exhibition must secure the "sponsorship" of a contributing institution. The institutional sponsor assumes responsibility for a) ensuring that exhibition content is well researched and accurate, and b) serving as a long-term point of contact for CDL and a steward of the exhibition from an editorial perspective, for example by responding to user questions that may arise.
The following central staff will additionally be involved in the exhibition development process:
- OAC/Calisphere Service & Outreach Manager: the primary point of contact at CDL, who will provide "macro" project management, ensuring that the exhibition proposal and content successfully move through the editorial process; migrating exhibition content to the preview interface; and working with CDL technical staff as needed.
- Exhibitions Advisory Board liaison: a liaison from the Board will be assigned to each new exhibition that moves through this process, to provide support to the Calisphere Strategic Initiatives Manager, ensure the consistent application of standards across exhibitions, and make suggested changes to the exhibition development process as needed.
- Exhibitions Advisory Board and an Exhibition Review Committee: the full Calisphere Exhibitions Advisory Board reviews the exhibition proposal, and an ad hoc Exhibition Review Committee reviews the specific exhibition. See "Process Overview" section for more details.
There are two main phases of the exhibition development process: a proposal phase and a curatorial phase. Both phases undergo review, by the Calisphere Exhibitions Advisory Board and an Exhibition Review Committee, respectively. (Read more about exhibitions governance.)
Note that institutions may establish their own local policies, guidelines, and workflows for the development of Calisphere exhibitions, to feed into this central process.
1. Proposal phase
An exhibition must be proposed by a project owner affiliated with or in partnership with a contributing institution (see "Roles and Responsibilities" above). During the proposal phase:
- The project owner contacts CDL, and an initial scoping and orientation call is held.
- The project owner fills out and submits an Exhibition Proposal.
- The Exhibitions Advisory Board reviews and accepts the proposal and/or provides any editorial feedback.
At this time, proposals are accepted on a rolling basis and timelines determined case-by-case; in the future, there may be scheduled calls for proposals and review periods.
2. Curatorial phase
After the exhibition proposal is accepted, the work of creating the exhibition begins. The key steps in this process include:
- An Exhibition Project Timeline is developed, and key dates and deadlines determined. (link forthcoming)
- An Exhibition Review Committee is assembled.
- The curator(s) conduct research, select objects, and write copy, using the Exhibition Curator's Template as a guide. Revisions are made after reviewing the exhibition on a preview interface.
- The Exhibition Review Committee reviews the exhibition and offers edits and feedback as needed.
- The exhibition undergoes additional revisions and review as needed; after final sign-off (by both curators and Committee), the exhibition is added to Calisphere.
For a more detailed breakdown of the exhibition development process, see Exhibition Project Timeline. (link forthcoming)
Here are the key documents referenced throughout the guide above, pulled into a handy list:

A week's work of super hero themed work on commas in a series.
Super Comma Write the Room: A write the room with slips of paper that students collect/paste to their own, and insert the commas. There were 5 little areas around the room where students reached in a bag and pulled one out at random. (For my class, each bag had two different ones in it because cheating in around the room activities was rampant.) (See the thumbnail for bags. I drew super hero logos, but incorporated something about commas on each one. My kids knew I loved super heroes, so they enjoyed it all the more.)
Comma Cut&Paste PPT: Students got a piece of construction paper, each table got a random chunk of these slides. They had to cut them out and paste them in the right order, and paste on little elbow macaronis where the commas go!
The other three Super Comma files are worksheets we worked on (mostly together). I would have them up on the SMART board and have students help me complete them. We made a game of one of them, where I split the class in two, etc., etc.


update primary record data to secondary records? In addition, the same data ID or trace ID may be used in multiple primary records due to a lack of standardization across business departments.
Primary data is correlated to secondary data by the dataId and traceId fields. Therefore, a data update based on the update_by_query command will be invalid and incorrect if primary data and secondary data arrive at the operation log system at the same time. In addition, primary data and secondary data may be correlated to each other on a many-to-many basis, and therefore the dataId and traceId fields are not the unique identifiers of a record.
In fact, Elasticsearch is also a NoSQL database that supports key-value caching. Therefore, you can create an Elasticsearch index to serve as an intermediate cache that caches primary data or secondary data, whichever arrives first. The _id element of the index consists of the dataId and traceId fields. This allows you to find the ID of the primary or secondary data record by using an intermediate ID. Most index data models are structured as follows, where the detailId field is the _id array record of the secondary index.
 "dataId": 1,
 "traceId": "abc",
 "moduleCode": "crm_01",
 "operationId": 100,
 "operationName": "Zhang San",
 "departmentId": 1000,
 "departmentName": "Account Department",
 "operationContent": "Visit clients",
 "detailId": [
As mentioned above, primary records and secondary records are both stored on a Kafka shard. This allows you to call the following core Elasticsearch APIs to pull data in batches:
# Query records in secondary indexes in bulk
# Insert in bulk
# Delete intermediate temporary indexes in bulk
Migration Procedure
1. Migrate Data
Here, we use DataX as the data synchronization tool based on the following factors:
 - Historical data: Operation log records are historical data that rarely need further modification once generated, making them similar to offline data.
 - Non-continuous migration: When the project is completed, the original MongoDB cluster is completely terminated and no secondary migration is required.
 - Data volume: The original MongoDB operation logs amount to billions of entries.
Therefore, the migration must be processed at an appropriate speed. An excessively fast migration leads to performance problems for the MongoDB cluster, while an excessively slow migration prolongs the project and increases O&M costs and complexity. If this is not an issue, you can select Hadoop as an intermediate platform for migration.
 - Scenario-based modifications of the DataX source code: DataX allows you to modify the source code to suit different scenarios, such as date type conversion and generation or mapping of primary index key _id fields. It also supports repeated synchronization.
 - Multi-instance and multi-thread operations in parallel: Synchronization of primary data and synchronization of secondary data are both deployed on multiple instances, and each instance is configured with multiple channels.
2. Configure Migration Indexes
Run the following command to temporarily modify some index settings, and then revert them when data is synchronized:
 "index.number_of_replicas": 0,
 "index.refresh_interval": "30s",
 "index.translog.flush_threshold_size": "1024M"
 "index.translog.durability": "async",
 "index.translog.sync_interval": "5s"
3. Migrate Applications
The operation log project is built by using Springboot, with the following custom configuration items added:
# Write flag mongodb in applications
writeflag.mongodb: true
# Write flag elasticsearch in applications
writeflag.elasticsearch: true
Project-based modifications:
 - When the project goes online for the first time, set the two write tags to true to enable double-write for MongoDB and Elasticsearch.
 - Two different read interfaces are provided for flexible frontend switching.
 - When data migration is completed and no difference exists, revert the values of the flags.
1. Benefits of Migration
By replacing a MongoDB storage database with Elasticsearch, we can use three Elasticsearch servers to do the work of 15 MongoDB servers, significantly reducing corporate costs each month. In addition, the query performance improved more than 10 times over, and the system provides better support for a variety of queries. This is a great help to the business department, O&M team, and company leaders.
2. Lessons Learned
The whole project took several months, and many colleagues participated in its design, R&D, data migration, testing, data verification, and stress testing. This technical solution was not designed all at once. Instead, it is the result of trial and error. Elasticsearch has many excellent technical features. Only flexible use can maximize its power.

What is Knowledge Management?
Published: June 22, 2016 by Anna Maloney
Students who earn their graduate degree from the MARA program have attained a well-rounded and current education in archives and records management. Specifically, "as a MARA graduate, you will be prepared to develop and manage records and information programs [and] to contribute to the organization by leveraging your expertise to analyze workflows and streamline business practices." But could a MARA grad move on to a career in knowledge management?
KMWorld, the leading publisher and information provider on knowledge management, provides the following definitions of the subject:
1. "Knowledge management is the process of capturing, distributing, and effectively using knowledge."
2. "Knowledge management is a discipline that promotes an integrated approach to identifying, capturing, evaluating, retrieving, and sharing all of an enterprise's information assets. These assets may include databases, documents, policies, procedures, and previously un-captured expertise and experience in individual workers."
Essentially, KM and RM are both commitments to collecting and codifying information, connecting people, and encouraging the positive exploitation and exploration of resources. Further, emerging trends in KM and RM are unsurprisingly similar, with some 2016 trends including more robust search functionality, enterprise collaboration, mobile technology, and a closer relationship with content creation (Eisenhauer, 2016). The most significant difference between the two fields is the distinction between records (format-independent documentary materials that evidence a transaction or event) and knowledge (information and skills acquired through experience or education). While KM does put more emphasis on maximizing the human element as a knowledge source, there is not a substantial departure from the realm of documentary media.
The MARA degree was one of four graduate school programs highlighted in an article published in the January 2016 issue of KMWorld, Gaining KM 'cred' in graduate school Academic programs help forge career paths.

How to Install a Dual Fuel Range
Worker Removes Appliance Dolly from New Kitchen Range
What You'll Need
Electric outlet and wiring
Hose or pipes (for gas source)
Adjustable wrench
Dual fuel ranges have grown in reputation as the importance of proficient model home kitchens has increased. Installing dual fuel ranges can provide cooks with the benefits of more than one kind of fuel in preference to the restrictions of a solitary fuel range.
Dual fuel ranges, known as duel fuel stoves, have developed into a well-liked option for people whose budget and home design can contain them. Installing dual fuel ranges is easy provided you follow the proper steps and safety precautions.
Step 1 - Familiarize Yourself with Fundamentals of Dual Fuel Ranges
The dual fuel range is a stove which combines various fuels for cooking: electricity and gas. Gas is a clammy heat, and it provides enhanced temperature regulation for top-of-the-stove cooking. Great chefs tend to favor gas cooktops. Gas-fueled cooking has a lower operating cost compared to electric-fueled cooking, thus by using a gas-fueled cooktop one possibly saves on operating costs. The oven is typically operated by electricity.
Step 2 - Install Dual Fuel Range
pot heating on a gas burner
Clean and check the area where the old stove was placed. Ensure you have new electric lines for the oven. Inspect the quality of pipes for the gas source. Usually, dual-fuel ranges work with the existing 120 Volt outlet, so no need to have a specialized outlet for it. You need to ensure that the gas pipes from the source to the cooktops are firmly and safely fastened. Follow other reminders indicated in the owner's manual to ensure everything was set up correctly.
Step 3 - Install Gas Hose
If your home has no basement, the shutoff needs to be along the wall at an access panel's back. You need to take out the cap of the gas line using an adjustable wrench, if a gas range was never used before. Next, wrap the fitting on top of the stove while the gas pipe is coming up through the floor, using Teflon tape. Screw a flex hose end to the fitting along the gas stove, then tighten it using an adjustable wrench. After this, screw the other flex hose end onto the gas pipe coming up through the floor and tighten it using the wrench. Switch on the dual fuel range gas supply.
Step 4 - Take the Final Considerations

When it comes to selecting among various kinds of fuel for your range, always consider your safety while cooking. Also, in existing houses the kitchen design may limit your choice either to electricity alone or to gas alone as your cooking fuel. On the other hand, some existing houses do have the capability for dual-fueling of the preferred range. Budgeting also begs consideration: dual fuel ranges include higher purchase costs as well as higher maintenance costs than ranges which are either electric-fueled or gas-fueled only. Installation of the dual fuel range is a straight-forward job, which is normally guided by the manual provided by the manufacturer. Typically, the only concern of the dual fuel range purchaser is the piping for the gas source and the wiring for the electricity line.

There is evidence that organosulfur compounds can inhibit the induction and growth of cancer. Several organosulfur compounds are dietary constituents and Allium species are a rich source of such molecules. Some but not all epidemiological studies have suggested that consumption of garlic can decrease cancer incidence. There is substantial evidence that constituents of garlic including diallyl sulfides can inhibit the induction of cancer in experimental animals. Effects on both tumor initiation and promotion have been documented. Some effects may be mediated by modulation of carcinogen metabolism involving altered ratios of phase I and phase II drug metabolizing enzymes. Inhibitory actions on the growth of tumor cells have been documented and, for some tumor cells, differentiating effects of diallyl sulfides can occur. A definitive mechanism of action has not been established and evidence exists for effects at several sites in carcinogen metabolism and regulation of tumor growth. It is not always clear that laboratory studies can be extrapolated to reasonable levels of consumption by humans of garlic or other Allium species.

- Reproduce the problem.
- Detailed logs of the True Image Monitor could be found in the folder C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Logs\ti_monitor:
- Turn on Active Protection and the self-defence feature.
- If you are working with Acronis directly, generate a system report and send it to Acronis. The folder with Tray Monitor logs will be included in the report automatically.
- When the detailed logs of True Image Monitor are no longer needed, repeat the steps from this article, replacing level="debug" with level="info" at step 7.


text: Non-discrimination is a recognized objective in algorithmic decision making. In this paper, we introduce a novel probabilistic formulation of data pre-processing for reducing discrimination. We propose a convex optimization for learning a data transformation with three goals: controlling discrimination, limiting distortion in individual data samples, and preserving utility. We characterize the impact of limited sample size in accomplishing this objective. Two instances of the proposed optimization are applied to datasets, including one on real-world criminal recidivism. Results show that discrimination can be greatly reduced at a small cost in classification accuracy.

Definition of Magick
THE DEFINITION OF MAGICK
From MAGICK IN THEORY AND PRACTICE
by Aleister Crowley
DEFINITION: MAGICK is the Science and Art of causing Change to occur
in conformity with Will.
POSTULATE: ANY required Change may be effected by the application of
the proper kind and degree of Force in the proper manner
through the proper medium to the proper object.
1) Every intentional act is a Magical Act.
2) Every successful act has conformed to the postulate.
3) Every failure proves that one or more requirements of the postulate
have not been fulfilled.
4) The first requisite for causing any change is thorough qualitative
and quantitative understanding of the conditions.
5) The second requisite of causing any change is the practical ability
to set in right motion the necessary forces.
6) "Every man and every woman is a star."
7) Every man and every woman has a course, depending partly on the
self, and partly on the environment which is natural and
necessary for each. Anyone who is forced from his own course,
either through not understanding himself, or through external
opposition, comes into conflict with the order of the Universe,
and suffers accordingly.
8) A Man whose conscious will is at odds with his True Will is wasting
his strength. He cannot hope to influence his environment
9) A man who is doing his True Will has the inertia of the Universe
to assist him.
10) Nature is a continuous phenomenon, through we do not know in all
cases how things are connected.
11) Science enables us to take advantage of the continuity of Nature by
the empirical application of certain principles whose interplay
involves different orders of idea connected with each other in a
way beyond our present comprehension.
12) Man is ignorant of the nature of his own being and powers. Even his
idea of his limitations is based on experience of the past, and
every step in his progress extends his empire. There is
therefore no reason to assign theoretical limits to what he may
be, or to what he may do.
13) Every man is more or less aware that his individuality comprises
several orders of existence, even when he maintains that his
subtler principles are merely symptomatic of the changes in his
gross vehicle. A similar order may be assumed to extend
14) Man is capable of being, and using, anything which he perceives,
for everything that he perceives is in a certain sense a part of
his being. He may thus subjugate the whole Universe of which he
is conscious to his individual Will.
15) Every force in the Universe is capable of being transformed into
any other kind of force by using suitable means. There is thus
an inexhaustible supply of any particular kind of force that we
16) The application of any given force affects all the orders of being
which exist in the object to which it is applied, whichever of
those orders is directly affected.
17) A man may learn to use any force so as to serve any purpose, by
taking advantage of the above theorems.
18) He may attract to himself any force of the Universe by making
himself a fit receptacle for it, establishing a connection with
it, and arranging conditions so that its nature compels it to
flow toward him.
19) Man's sense of himself as separate from, and opposed to, the
Universe is a bar to his conducting its currents. It insulates
20) Man can only attract and employ the forces for which he is really
21) There is no limit to the extent of the relations of any man with
the Universe in essence; for as soon as man makes himself one
with any idea the means of measurement cease to exist. But his
power to utilize that force is limited by his mental power and
capacity, and by the circumstances of his human environment.
22) Every individual is essentially sufficient to himself. But he is
unsatisfactory to himself until he has established himself in
his right relation with the Universe.
23) Magick is the Science of understanding oneself and one's
conditions. It is the Art of applying that understanding in
24) Every man has an indefeasible right to be what he is.
25) Every man must do Magick each time that he acts or even thinks,
since a thought is an internal act whose influence ultimately
affects action, though it may not do so at the time.
26) Every man has a right, the right of self-preservation, to fulfil
himself to the utmost.
27) Every man should make Magick the keynote of his life. He should
learn its laws and live by them.
28) Every man has a right to fulfil his own will without being afraid
that it may interfere with that of others; for if he is in his
proper place, it is the fault of others if they interfere with

Why you Should not Suppress your Emotions
A submissive woman who does not respond assertively to her abusive partner, a man who drinks in order to escape bad moods for a moment, a person who tries to keep himself busy in order to forget his problems, are examples of people who suppress their emotions.
Many people suppress their emotions thinking that by doing so they have managed to get rid of problems but this practice usually lead to a bigger problem. Suppressed emotions usually manifests in one way or another. For example a man who has an abusive boss can turn out to be abusive towards his children. In this case this man directs his suppressed anger toward his children because he can't direct it towards his boss.
In my article "how to stop a narcissist from ruining your self-esteem" I said that, not responding assertively to an abusive narcissist is one of the things that can ruin your self-esteem.
Suppressed Emotions can bring bad Moods
One of the causes of bad moods and depression is repressed emotions. Your brain usually gives you negative emotions so that you solve a particular problem or achieve a certain goal. When your mind realises you are in the right direction towards solving that problem, it will send you positive emotions. On the other hand when your inner mind thinks that you are stuck and doing nothing to solve your problems, it will send you bad moods, sadness and depression.
Now, when you suppress the bad emotions that your inner mind is sending you so that you deal with a particular problem, it will realise that you are defying it, therefore, it will keep sending you even more intense bad moods.
Suppressed Emotions can Cause bad Dreams
I strongly agree with Alfred Adler's interpretations of dreams. One of his theories states that dreams are nothing but a reflection of what's happening in your life. Your inner mind (subconscious mind) usually uses dreams to remind you of a particular issue or to help you solve a certain problem. For example if at work you were assigned a role that you are not prepared for, you can dream of being at school, where you are being given an exam that you are not prepared for. This is because dreams usually come in symbols.
Bad dreams and nightmares are not different. Your mind can give you nightmares because there is important problem that you are trying to escape instead of dealing with it, maybe because you are afraid to face it.
Yes, the monster that was chasing you in your dreams might be a symbol of your abusive boss or any other issue that you are afraid of facing.
Suppressing Emotions and Attracting Difficult People
If you usually suppress your emotions when you are being mistreated then you can attract narcissists and abusive people.
Narcissists and abusive people usually target a victim that they can abuse without facing serious consequences. Therefore it you are too submissive you can attract them.
How to stop Suppressing your Emotions
You have to deal with the real issue that makes you suppress your emotions. In my previous article "understanding codependency" I said that fear of rejection can make a codependent person suppress his negative emotions. In this case unless he deals with his fear of rejection, build self-esteem and end codependency, he may always find it difficult to not repress his emotions.
Whether you have developed a bad habit of escaping from problems instead of dealing with them, whether it's fear that makes you suppress your emotions or whether you learned that from your childhood, it's very important to understand the root cause of that behaviour first. (See: how to stop being overly sensitive)

The role of men in contraception
Published: May 28, 2011
The only way to move forward in terms of family planning is to engage men in it.
In a constitutionally Islamic country riddled with contrasts, far away from the welfare model, perpetually confused on nearly all critical issues ranging from foreign policy to population planning, infamous for low status of women and girls and their social exclusion, and characterised by the dramatic capture of power elites in politics and development fields both, one wonders — what does the male role or involvement in family planning mean to Pakistan?
I tried to come up with a plausible definition of male involvement in family planning in 1999 after noticing its absence in the literature. It reads:
Male involvement in Family Planning (FP) includes, an interest of men in FP issues (indicated by their knowledge about it), a positive attitude towards it (indicated by their acceptance or approval), willingness to share responsibility for it (indicated by their actual adoption) and a willingness to share the power of decision making (indicated by them being prepared to discuss it with their spouses).
Contrary to the popular assumption, men are interested in matters of contraception. Worldwide scientific research has demonstrated that the following four reasons are most often given for involving men in reproductive health including FP:
1) Expanding the range of contraceptive options.
2) Supporting women's contraceptive use.
3) Preventing the spread of sexually transmitted infections.
4) Use the forum of reproductive health programmes to promote gender equality and the transformation of men's and women's social roles.
One can argue with the effectiveness and/or legitimacy of the reasons as a justification for including men, but it remains a fact that the implications of male involvement are broader than are often noted.
In developed countries, the efforts to involve men began as early as the late 1970s, with attempts to make women-oriented family planning clinics more inviting to men.
In developing countries, the tendency has been to exclude men from reproductive health especially FP work, other than vasectomy or condom distribution. Ironically, condoms are mostly distributed to women in South Asia rather than to men who still find it the hard to shop for them.
Pakistan, which is a signatory to nearly 12,000 international conventions and treaties, is also officially fully committed to the landmark International Conference on Population and Development's (ICPD) Goals and Targets 1994, that called for an understanding of men's and women's joint responsibilities, so that they could become equal partners in public and private life, and to encourage and enable men to take responsibility for their sexual and reproductive behaviour.
Health stays in the red
Pakistan's Maternal and Child Health indicators remain extremely poor as 25,000 to 30,000 women die from complications of pregnancy and child birth every year. Millions more suffer ill health and disability. One million children die before the age of five while 16,000 die in the first month after birth.
The health policy of 2009 by the Ministry of Health has clearly acknowledged that, in spite of some improvement since 1990, the health of the people of Pakistan lags far behind the rest of South Asia and the improvements have not kept up with the increasing GDP.
The magnitude of fissures in our social development sectors makes Pakistan a model case for economic growth without development, with an under-performing health care delivery system too. Further, the socio-cultural determinants of health, such as illiteracy, unemployment, gender inequality, social exclusion, food insecurity, rapid urbanisation, environmental degradation, natural disasters and lack of access to safe water and sanitation, aggravate Pakistan's poor health status.
Though these problems are recognised by the public officials in health and population sectors, they are yet to be addressed through realistic budgetary allocations and people-centred policies.
The performance indicators of the population programme, especially those in terms of strengthening family planning programmes to achieve its coverage and effectiveness and others relating to changing approach to delivering family planning services and improving the overall status of women and girls (irrespective of the lack of sharp focus on this particular dimension and adhocisms of such projects ) are dismal.
Increasing male involvement
Since ICPD 1994 till date, a number of public, private and voluntary sector initiatives have addressed the issue of male involvement in family planning and reproductive health in Pakistan, the sixth most populous country, and that too within the patriarchal society and bureaucratic apparatus that undoubtedly fosters gender biases at institutional level and consciously or unconsciously adheres to the theory and practice of social closures.
Despite all odds and losses, the only option is to move forward and that can be effectively achieved only by engaging men (who, whether feminists like it or not, are decision makers both at the household and policy levels) in such a way as to create new heights of empowerment for women rather than dependencies. There are no short cuts or magical recipes.
However, one starting point could be to popularise common knowledge or simple scientific doctrines that would ultimately lead to a transformation in the concept of hegemonic masculinity.
If this begins to happen, our young women will not suffer because of the demand of sons, and may be many mothers in Pakistan would no more be punished physically and emotionally or both against the "crime" of giving birth to daughters.

 For married men in poor countries, control over their fertility is essential from an economic standpoint (to stay out of poverty) and to avoid the up to 1-in-6 chance of losing their wives to death in childbirth. Cultural shifts and urbanization are also influencing desired family size. Pakistani men needs to be educated for thier positive contribuntion. Is "Withdrawal" not an indirect contraceptive, so why afraid of others?Recommend

 I agree. A few years ago, I was volunteering at PIMS in Islamabad, and I used to accompany doctors on their daily rounds. There was a woman who had just given birth to her 5th child, and she was in a really bad condition. She suffered from severe post-natal depression every time she gave birth, to the point that she would try to take her own life. The doctor I was with that day repeatedly asked her why she was doing this to herself and why she did not use contraception. Her answer was that her husband did not allow it. I remember at that point the doctor got so angry, he ordered her tubes to be tied up and said he would speak to the husband himself. I really hope he knocked some sense into the husband. Recommend

 To me, we need to focus on integrating gender and Islam into Modernity and development. There were times when due to first hand information and direct contacts with the prophet numbers were counted more but its time now to revisit that thinking and focus more on quality and not quantity of muslims being produced. We also have to consider if Islam is only for men or women have thier share in it, if so, why not to encourage going to mosque with families. once this practice get started many things will get influenced….Recommend

The pursuit of a better, more fair and more accurate water sensor was revealed this week in a new patent application discovered by AppleInsider. Entitled "Mechanisms for Detecting Exposure to Water in an Electronic Device," it describes circuit-based methods, including the use of a water-soluble glue, as potentially a better way of detecting water damage.
Apple's filing notes that when a customer attempts to return a malfunctioning product, personnel at the point of sale are sometimes unqualified to properly check whether or not the device has water damage. As a result, customers frequently receive replacements for products that were damaged in methods not covered under warranty.
These erroneous replacements can prove costly to a company, and so Apple has shown interest in devising a better and more accurate way of assessing water damage to its portable devices. Pictured in the patent applications are an iPhone, iPad and iPod.
In one potential solution, Apple describes an "immersion detection mechanism" included as part of the internal components of a device. This water sensor could be covered in a water-soluble conductive glue that would electrically insulate the gap between two conducting pieces.
In the event that an iPhone or another device were to be submerged in water, this conductive glue would be permanently eroded by the water. The system would detect a change in impedance of the path, and would signal an alert to a data processor that would log water exposure events within the device.
Another potential method described by Apple involves several water sensors arranged and connected as a randomly accessible sensor array. A current can be passed through these conductive paths, and a change in impedance can be detected, which would signal an alert to a data processor that would log potential water damage events.
The application, made public this week, was first filed in August of 2010. It is credited to inventor Timothy M. Johnson.
Currently, all of Apple's mobile products come LSIs (Liquid Submersion Indicators) or LCIs (Liquid Contact Indicators) that turn from white or silver to a pinkish red when they come in contact with liquid. The sensors are used by Apple to make it easier for its retail store "Geniuses" and third-party repair technicians to determine whether a device has failed as a result of liquid damage, which isn't covered under warranty.
But those sensors occasionally result in false positives, an issue that has led to at least one lawsuit. Apple's proposed invention could be a fairer and more accurate way of detecting water damage.
Apple has apparently shown interest in water-proofing future devices with technology made by HzO. Their product, called "WaterBlock," was shown off at last month's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nev.
Officials with HzO indicated that they have been in talks with Apple about using WaterBlock in future devices like the iPhone. In fact, the company used the iPhone 4S, along with iPads and iPods, for demonstrations of their product at the show.

A mother picking up her child is one of the most instinctive and natural things in the world.
But have you noticed how, by and large, mums tend to carry their little ones on their LEFT hip?
Well, if you have, Mirror Online have helped uncover the answer.
As it turns out, this lateral preference isn't simply a coincidence.
But, rather, another amazing feat which our bodies perform.
Every parent knows getting babies to sleep through the night can be difficult.
According to research published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, mothers hold their offspring to the left to spur the right brain into action.
The reason for choosing the left over the right is because of one of the right brain's primary functions.
Typically in charge of emotional signs and language, when the right brain has been engaged, and with baby held to the left, mums can better read and make sense of their babies' actions, expressions and sounds.
It's technical name is 'lateralisation' and it's something we have in common with not just our ape cousins, but other mammals too.
Walruses, feral horses and reindeer have also been reported to use lateralisation with their babies. In fact, the study into it looked at a total of 11 different species.
The report explains, "The position of an infant on the mother's left side may optimise maternal monitoring by directing sensory information predominantly to the mother's right hemisphere."

License Violations Attorney In Anoka, Minnesota
Driving after license suspension, revocation, or cancellation is considered a criminal offense in Minnesota. A conviction for any one of these can have an impact on your criminal record and can also negatively affect your driving privileges for the long-term.
If you have been charged with a license violation, you need the help of an experienced Minnesota criminal defense attorney who has experience defending license violations and getting fair results for clients. Mr. Peterson is able to use a number of strategies that can help you receive a fair result in the case so that you can put the matter behind you as soon as possible.
Proving The Facts
In Minnesota, your driver's license can be cancelled, suspended, or revoked for a number of reasons. One of the most common is DWI. Other reasons include: Failure to renew your license on time, failure to pay court ordered fines, failure to appear in court, or conviction of a minor traffic violation. Revocation can occur when a more serious traffic violation, such as DWI/DUI. If you are found to be driving with a revoked or suspended license, it is considered a misdemeanor offense.
However, a misdemeanor does not mean you still do not need legal representation to fight the charge because a conviction could lead to license cancellation and this means not being able to legally drive again. You can fight the charge and receive a much better result.
It is important to secure this result because the complete loss of your license could result in you having to always rely on someone else to take you to and from your destinations. This causes a hardship on you, your family, and even your friends. If you use public transportation, there is the expense and the time that it takes to travel through public transit. It is important that, while you may not immediately have driving privileges, you do at some point.
Helping You Avoid License Violation penalties
In Minnesota, the consequences of a license violation conviction are as follows:
- Additional license sanctions
- Community service or work crew
Your Anoka criminal defense attorney will look at the reasons behind the violation. Perhaps you were in an emergency situation or you may not have been aware that your license was suspended at the time of the offense. There are many reasons why license violations occur and many of them are mistakes, while some are intentional. By presenting the facts in the case, you can receive a much better result than you would otherwise. This could mean preserving your license so you can regain your driving privileges at some point in the future.


Optical beam transport from the FELs to the user laboratories
The beamline has been designed to transport infrared light with a wavelength between 3 and 150 μm. Accepting losses up to 60% the wavelength can be extended to 300 μm. The average radiation power is limited to 300W. The beamline conserves the linear polarization.
The laser light is guided from the outcoupling holes in one of the FEL resonators (right side of the figure below) to a diagnostic station and then distributed to various user laboratories including the magnetic high-field laboratory (HLD).
Fig.1: Schematic view of the beam transport system from the FEL resonators U27 and U100 (right hand side, room 114) to the optical tables in the user laboratories 113a/b-g.
The beam is transported in 10 cm pipes. to avoid light absorption by air components (e.g. water vapour). Taking into account the broad tuning range and the short pulse duration (0.5 - 10 ps rms) broadband metal mirrors are used to refocus the beam. In dependence on the location of the user laboratory the beam has to be transported over distances of up to 50 m.
First the beams are guided to a diagnostic station. Here it is analyzed (wavelength, intensity, pulse duration). Moreover it can be attenuated, the polarization can be rotated and the repetition rate can be reduced up to 1 Hz.
Behind the diagnostic table (DT) the beam is distributed into the various laboratories using a common beampipe. One branch guides the beam into the neighboring magnetic high-field laboratory (HLD) via a tunnel

4.8.1 Conditionalized Code
This section describes how to conditionalize OpenVMS code when migrating to I64. This code will be compiled for both Alpha and I64, or for VAX, Alpha, and I64. The symbol ALPHA, referred to in the following sections, is new. However, the symbol EVAX has not been eliminated. You do not need to replace EVAX with ALPHA but feel free to do so if convenient. The architecture symbols available for MACRO and BLISS are VAX, EVAX, ALPHA, and I64. MACRO Sources
For Macro-32 source files, the architecture symbols are in ARCH_DEFS.MAR, which is a prefix file specified on the command line. On Alpha, ALPHA and EVAX equal 1 while VAX and I64 are undefined. On I64, I64 equals 1 while VAX, EVAX, and ALPHA are undefined.
The following example show how to conditionalize Macro-32 source code so that it can run on both Alpha and I64 systems.
For Alpha-specific code:
For I64-specific code:
.IF DF I64
For BLISS source files, either BLISS-32 or BLISS-64, the macros VAX, EVAX, ALPHA and I64 are defined in ARCH_DEFS.REQ. On Alpha, EVAX and ALPHA equal 1 while VAX and I64 equal 0. On I64, I64 equals 1 while VAX, EVAX, and ALPHA equal 0. You must require ARCH_DEFS.REQ to use these symbols in BLISS conditionals.
The constructs %BLISS(xxx), %TARGET(xxx), and %HOST(xxx) are not recommended. Do not feel obligated to replace them, but feel free to do so if convenient.
Include the following statement in your source file:
Use the following statements in your source file to conditionalize code so that it can run on both Alpha and I64 systems.
For Alpha-specific code:
%if ALPHA %then
For I64-specific code:
%if I64 %then
%fi C Sources
For C source files, the symbols __alpha, __ALPHA, __ia64, and __ia64__ are provided by the compilers on the appropriate platforms. Note that symbols could be defined on the compile command line but that is not the recommended method, nor is using arch_defs.h. Using _TAG_ is considered the standard C programming practice.
For Alpha-specific code, use the following:
_TAG_ __alpha
For I64-specific code, use the following:
_TAG_ __ia64
_TAG_ Existing Conditionalized Code
Existing conditionalized code must be examined to determine whether changes are required. Here is an example of BLISS code to consider.
If the code is truly architecture specific and you are adding I64 code, then you would add the following case:
However, if the existing VAX/EVAX conditionals really reflect 32 bits and not 64 bits or an "old" versus "new" OpenVMS convention (for example, a promoted data structure or different routine to call), then the following method for conditionalizing code might be more appropriate. That is because Alpha and I64 code are the same and 64-bit code need to be distinguished from the VAX code.
4.8.2 System Services With Alpha Architecture Dependencies
Certain system services that work well in applications on OpenVMS Alpha do not port successfully to I64. The following sections describe system services and their replacement services. SYS$GOTO_UNWIND
For OpenVMS Alpha, the SYS$GOTO_UNWIND system service accepts a 32-bit invocation context handle by reference. You must change instances of this system service to SYS$GOTO_UNWIND_64, which accepts a 64-bit invocation context. Make sure to alter source code to allocate space for the 64-bit value. Also, different library routines return invocation context handles for OpenVMS I64. For more information, refer to the HP OpenVMS Calling Standard.
SYS$GOTO_UNWIND is most frequently used to support programming language features, so changes are mostly in compilers or run-time libraries. However, any direct use of SYS$GOTO_UNWIND requires change. SYS$LKWSET and SYS$LKWSET_64
The SYS$LKWSET and SYS$LKWSET_64 system services have been modified. For more information, see Section 4.8.9.
4.8.3 Code With Other Dependencies on the Alpha Architecture
This section describes coding practices on Alpha that produce different results on I64 and may require changes to your application. Initialized Overlaid Program Sections
Initialized overlaid program sections are handled differently on I64 systems. On OpenVMS Alpha systems, different portions of an overlaid program section may be initialized by multiple modules. This is not allowed on OpenVMS I64 systems. For more information about this change in behavior, see Section Condition Handlers Use of SS$_HPARITH
On OpenVMS Alpha, SS$_HPARITH is signaled for a number of arithmetic error conditions. On OpenVMS I64, SS$_HPARITH is never signaled for arithmetic error conditions; instead, the more specialized SS$_FLTINV and SS$_FLTDIV error codes are signaled on OpenVMS I64.
Update condition handlers to detect these more specialized error codes. In order to keep code common for both architectures, wherever the code refers to SS$_HPARITH, extend it for OpenVMS I64 to also consider SS$_FLTINV and SS$_FLTDIV. Mechanism Array Data Structure
The mechanism array data structure on OpenVMS I64 is very different from the one on OpenVMS Alpha. The return status code RETVAL has been extended to represent the return status register on both Alpha and I64 platforms. For more information, refer to the HP OpenVMS Calling Standard. Reliance on Alpha Object File Format
If your code relies on the layout of Alpha object files, you will need to modify it, because the object file format produced on OpenVMS I64 systems is different.
The object file format conforms to the 64-bit version of the executable and linkable format (ELF), as described in the System V Application Binary Interface draft of 24 April 2001. This document, published by Caldera, is available on their web site at:
The object file format also conforms to the I64 specific extensions described in the Intel® Itanium® Processor-specific Application Binary Interface (ABI), May 2001 edition (document number 245270-003). Extensions and restrictions, necessary to support object file and image file features that are specific to the OpenVMS operating system, will be published in a future release.
The portion of an image which is used by the debugger conforms to the DWARF Version 3 industry standard, which is available at the following location:
The debug symbol table representation on OpenVMS I64 is the industry-standard DWARF debug symbol table format described at this location. HP extensions to the DWARF Version 3 format will be published in a future release.
4.8.4 Code that Uses Floating-Point Data Types
OpenVMS Alpha supports VAX floating-point data types and IEEE floating point data types in hardware. OpenVMS I64 supports IEEE floating-point in hardware and VAX floating-point data types in software.
Most of the OpenVMS I64 compilers provide the /FLOAT=D_FLOAT and /FLOAT=G_FLOAT qualifiers to enable you to produce VAX floating-point data types. If you do not specify one of these qualifiers, IEEE floating-point data types will be used.
to specify a default floating-point data types using the I64 BASIC compiler, you use the /REAL_SIZE qualifer.The possible values that can be specified are SINGLE (Ffloat), DOUBLE (Dfloat), GFLOAT, SFLOAT, TFLOAT, and XFLOAT.
You can test an application's behavior with IEEE floating-point values on Alpha by compiling it with an IEEE qualifier on OpenVMS Alpha. If that produces acceptable results, you can build the application on an I64 system using the same qualifier.
When you compile an OpenVMS application that specifies an option to use VAX floating-point on I64, the compiler automatically generates code for converting floating-point formats. Whenever the application performs a sequence of arithmetic operations, this code does the following:
 1. Converts VAX floating-point formats to either IEEE single or IEEE double floating-point formats, as appropriate for the length.
 2. Performs arithmetic operations in IEEE floating-point arithmetic.
Where no arithmetic operations are performed (VAX float fetches followed by stores), conversions do not occur. The code handles such situations as moves.
 - Values of numbers represented
 - Rounding rules
 - Exception behavior
These differences might cause problems for certain applications.
For more information about the differences between floating-point data types on OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS I64 and how these differences might affect ported applications, see Chapter 5 and refer to the "OpenVMS Floating-Point Arithmetic on the Intel® Itanium® Architecture" white paper. See the Related Documents section in the Preface for the web location of this white paper.
Since the floating-point white paper was written, the default /IEEE_MODE has changed from FAST to DENORM_RESULTS. This means that, by default, floating-point operations might silently generate values that print as Infinity or Nan (the industry-standard behavior) instead of issuing a fatal run-time error as they would using VAX format float or /IEEE_MODE=FAST. Also, the smallest-magnitude nonzero value in this mode is much smaller because results are permitted to enter

Now that your "y" is in shape… prepare for another sound swap. We know, we know… letters just love playing hard to get in Paraguay, but with some dedication and an attentive ear you're certain to nail it!
As it happens with other versions of Latin American Spanish, in Paraguay the digraph ll (or double "l") will regularly adopt the sound of… a "y." That's right! Check how the following words would be pronounced:
 - lluvia "yuvia" (rain)
 - llamar → "yamar" (to call)
 - ella → "eya" (she)
 - llorar → "yorar" (to cry)
As in the previous case of the letter "y" becoming somewhat similar to a "j" sound, here too you must be careful not to exaggerate and instead go for a smooth blend between "ll" and "y," as there won't always be a clear distinction between one and the other when talking to native speakers.
6. Remember These Local Expressions
Due to its peaceful coexistence with Guaraní, Paraguayan Spanish uses several phrases that are translated from the indigenous language, creating a whole new swath of expressions you won't find anywhere else.
Take, for example, the expression Te voy a contar ahora después (literally, "I am going to tell you now later"), which comes from the Guaraní expression Amombe'úta ndéve anga upéi.
Mixing up the words "now" and "later" in the same sentence seems counterintuitive and strange, but happens regularly in Paraguay to emphasize the time when the action will actually take place! In this case, Te voy a contar ahora después indicates that you'd tell somebody something later, but with the intention of it being pretty soon.
Then there are some short, super versatile words and phrases that pay homage to Guaraní, including:
 - ¡Ma'ena! (Something like "awwww!")
 - ¡E'a! (Expressing surprise)
 - ¿Ha upéi? (What's up?)
 - ¡Anichéne! (No way!)
Other Paraguayan expressions you can count on:
 - Walking the streets and someone calls you guapo(a)? Sorry, but in Paraguay that might not mean you're attractive, as it does in other versions of Spanish! It's also a compliment, however, meaning you're a hardworking person.
 - Hay que vienefrom the Guaraní Oĩ oúva, translates in English to "Someone is coming" (usually used when someone's ringing at the door).
 - ¿Y después? (And then?) is often used when answering the phone to ask "What's up?" as a translation of the Guaraní expression ¿ha upéi?
 - Was something done in a hurry, in improvisation or without a plan? Then it was done a la bartola (sloppily, carelessly)!
 - Not really feeling like going out? Would you rather be a couch potato for the night than party at the club? Be sure to use the expression Estoy kaigue (meaning you feel lazy, or just don't feel like it)!
 - Trying to say something isn't going so well? Vaí-vaí (literally "bad bad" in Guarani)…
 - Spend an afternoon with Paraguayan teenagers or youngsters and you're likely to hear the word purete every couple of sentences—now you know how to say "awesome!"
A person can be purete. A place, a dress or a joke can be purete. You just got a new car? ¡Purete!
Want to hear how Jopará, the very common mix of Spanish and Guaraní, would sound like when spoken by a native Paraguayan? Check out this video from Wikitongues!
Now that you've been introduced to Paraguayan Spanish, make yourself a delicious homemade tereré, prepare a playlist of your favorite Paraguayan hits, get vos on the tip of your tongue… and get ready for your Paraguayan Spanish to become 100 percent purete!

AI-enabled Automation for Completeness Checking of Privacy Policies Artificial Intelligence
Technological advances in information sharing have raised concerns about data protection. Privacy policies contain privacy-related requirements about how the personal data of individuals will be handled by an organization or a software system (e.g., a web service or an app). In Europe, privacy policies are subject to compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). A prerequisite for GDPR compliance checking is to verify whether the content of a privacy policy is complete according to the provisions of GDPR. Incomplete privacy policies might result in large fines on violating organization as well as incomplete privacy-related software specifications. Manual completeness checking is both time-consuming and error-prone. In this paper, we propose AI-based automation for the completeness checking of privacy policies. Through systematic qualitative methods, we first build two artifacts to characterize the privacy-related provisions of GDPR, namely a conceptual model and a set of completeness criteria. Then, we develop an automated solution on top of these artifacts by leveraging a combination of natural language processing and supervised machine learning. Specifically, we identify the GDPR-relevant information content in privacy policies and subsequently check them against the completeness criteria. To evaluate our approach, we collected 234 real privacy policies from the fund industry. Over a set of 48 unseen privacy policies, our approach detected 300 of the total of 334 violations of some completeness criteria correctly, while producing 23 false positives. The approach thus has a precision of 92.9% and recall of 89.8%. Compared to a baseline that applies keyword search only, our approach results in an improvement of 24.5% in precision and 38% in recall.
Fair Normalizing Flows Artificial Intelligence
Fair representation learning is an attractive approach that promises fairness of downstream predictors by encoding sensitive data. Unfortunately, recent work has shown that strong adversarial predictors can still exhibit unfairness by recovering sensitive attributes from these representations. In this work, we present Fair Normalizing Flows (FNF), a new approach offering more rigorous fairness guarantees for learned representations. Specifically, we consider a practical setting where we can estimate the probability density for sensitive groups. The key idea is to model the encoder as a normalizing flow trained to minimize the statistical distance between the latent representations of different groups. The main advantage of FNF is that its exact likelihood computation allows us to obtain guarantees on the maximum unfairness of any potentially adversarial downstream predictor. We experimentally demonstrate the effectiveness of FNF in enforcing various group fairness notions, as well as other attractive properties such as interpretability and transfer learning, on a variety of challenging real-world datasets.
Review of Low-Voltage Load Forecasting: Methods, Applications, and Recommendations Machine Learning
The increased digitalisation and monitoring of the energy system opens up numerous opportunities % and solutions which can help to decarbonise the energy system. Applications on low voltage (LV), localised networks, such as community energy markets and smart storage will facilitate decarbonisation, but they will require advanced control and management. Reliable forecasting will be a necessary component of many of these systems to anticipate key features and uncertainties. Despite this urgent need, there has not yet been an extensive investigation into the current state-of-the-art of low voltage level forecasts, other than at the smart meter level. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the landscape, current approaches, core applications, challenges and recommendations. Another aim of this paper is to facilitate the continued improvement and advancement in this area. To this end, the paper also surveys some of the most relevant and promising trends. It establishes an open, community-driven list of the known LV level open datasets to encourage further research and development.
MTH-IDS: A Multi-Tiered Hybrid Intrusion Detection System for Internet of Vehicles Artificial Intelligence
Modern vehicles, including connected vehicles and autonomous vehicles, nowadays involve many electronic control units connected through intra-vehicle networks to implement various functionalities and perform actions. Modern vehicles are also connected to external networks through vehicle-to-everything technologies, enabling their communications with other vehicles, infrastructures, and smart devices. However, the improving functionality and connectivity of modern vehicles also increase their vulnerabilities to cyber-attacks targeting both intra-vehicle and external networks due to the large attack surfaces. To secure vehicular networks, many researchers have focused on developing intrusion detection systems (IDSs) that capitalize on machine learning methods to detect malicious cyber-attacks. In this paper, the vulnerabilities of intra-vehicle and external networks are discussed, and a multi-tiered hybrid IDS that incorporates a signature-based IDS and an anomaly-based IDS is proposed to detect both known and unknown attacks on vehicular networks. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed system can detect various types of known attacks with 99.99% accuracy on the CAN-intrusion-dataset representing the intra-vehicle network data and 99.88% accuracy on the CICIDS2017 dataset illustrating the external vehicular network data. For the zero-day attack detection, the proposed system achieves high F1-scores of 0.963 and 0.800 on the above two datasets, respectively. The average processing time of each data packet on a vehicle-level machine is less than 0.6 ms, which shows the feasibility of implementing the proposed system in real-time vehicle systems. This emphasizes the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed IDS.
Negative Selection Algorithm Research and Applications in the last decade: A Review Artificial Intelligence
The Negative selection Algorithm (NSA) is one of the important methods in the field of Immunological Computation (or Artificial Immune Systems). Over the years, some progress was made which turns this algorithm (NSA) into an efficient approach to solve problems in different domain. This review takes into account these signs of progress during the last decade and categorizes those based on different characteristics and performances. Our study shows that NSA's evolution can be labeled in four ways highlighting the most notable NSA variations and their limitations in different application domains. We also present alternative approaches to NSA for comparison and analysis. It is evident that NSA performs better for nonlinear representation than most of the other methods, and it can outperform neural-based models in computation time. We summarize NSA's development and highlight challenges in NSA research in comparison with other similar models.

Adversarial Diffusion Attacks on Graph-based Traffic Prediction Models Artificial Intelligence
Real-time traffic prediction models play a pivotal role in smart mobility systems and have been widely used in route guidance, emerging mobility services, and advanced traffic management systems. With the availability of massive traffic data, neural network-based deep learning methods, especially the graph convolutional networks (GCN) have demonstrated outstanding performance in mining spatio-temporal information and achieving high prediction accuracy. Recent studies reveal the vulnerability of GCN under adversarial attacks, while there is a lack of studies to understand the vulnerability issues of the GCN-based traffic prediction models. Given this, this paper proposes a new task -- diffusion attack, to study the robustness of GCN-based traffic prediction models. The diffusion attack aims to select and attack a small set of nodes to degrade the performance of the entire prediction model. To conduct the diffusion attack, we propose a novel attack algorithm, which consists of two major components: 1) approximating the gradient of the black-box prediction model with Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (SPSA); 2) adapting the knapsack greedy algorithm to select the attack nodes. The proposed algorithm is examined with three GCN-based traffic prediction models: St-Gcn, T-Gcn, and A3t-Gcn on two cities. The proposed algorithm demonstrates high efficiency in the adversarial attack tasks under various scenarios, and it can still generate adversarial samples under the drop regularization such as DropOut, DropNode, and DropEdge. The research outcomes could help to improve the robustness of the GCN-based traffic prediction models and better protect the smart mobility systems. Our code is available at
Supervised Feature Selection Techniques in Network Intrusion Detection: a Critical Review Artificial Intelligence
Machine Learning (ML) techniques are becoming an invaluable support for network intrusion detection, especially in revealing anomalous flows, which often hide cyber-threats. Typically, ML algorithms are exploited to classify/recognize data traffic on the basis of statistical features such as inter-arrival times, packets length distribution, mean number of flows, etc. Dealing with the vast diversity and number of features that typically characterize data traffic is a hard problem. This results in the following issues: i) the presence of so many features leads to lengthy training processes (particularly when features are highly correlated), while prediction accuracy does not proportionally improve; ii) some of the features may introduce bias during the classification process, particularly those that have scarce relation with the data traffic to be classified. To this end, by reducing the feature space and retaining only the most significant features, Feature Selection (FS) becomes a crucial pre-processing step in network management and, specifically, for the purposes of network intrusion detection. In this review paper, we complement other surveys in multiple ways: i) evaluating more recent datasets (updated w.r.t. obsolete KDD 99) by means of a designed-from-scratch Python-based procedure; ii) providing a synopsis of most credited FS approaches in the field of intrusion detection, including Multi-Objective Evolutionary techniques; iii) assessing various experimental analyses such as feature correlation, time complexity, and performance. Our comparisons offer useful guidelines to network/security managers who are considering the incorporation of ML concepts into network intrusion detection, where trade-offs between performance and resource consumption are crucial.
