Researchers analyzed data from more than 7,000 people of working age in Australia and were not surprised to find that those who were unemployed had poorer mental health overall than those with jobs.
However, the study authors also found that the mental health of people with badly paid, poorly supported or short-term jobs could be as bad as, or even worse, than that of those who were jobless.
People with the poorest quality jobs experienced the largest decline in mental health over time. The researchers found a direct association between the number of unfavorable working conditions and mental health, with each additional negative job aspect reducing a person's mental health score.
For unemployed people, the health benefits of finding a job depended on the quality of the job. Getting a high quality job after being unemployed boosted mental health by an average of 3 points, but getting a poor quality job led to a mental health decline of 5.6 points.
The authors concluded that very demanding jobs that give people little control over their work -- and that provide little support or financial reward -- are not good for health.
"Work-first policies are based on the notion that any job is better than none as work promotes economic as well as personal wellbeing, wrote the authors. "Psychosocial job quality is a pivotal factor that needs to be considered in the design and delivery of employment and welfare policy."
The study appears online in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

Thanksgiving Dinner Math Activities
How many people are coming over? How much food should we buy? How many pies should we make so each person gets a piece? These are the typical questions I hear each year. Many families prepare large meals for their family and friends; so it can be the perfect time to involve your children in dinner preparation to incorporate real-life conceptual understanding of mathematics. Here are some activities!
- Have your child determine what size turkey you need to feed everyone coming for dinner. (How many pounds should you purchase if you have 10 people attending and 1 ½ pounds per person?)
- Already purchased a turkey? Have your child calculate how much each person can have. (You have a 20 pound turkey and 8 people coming for dinner. How much turkey will each person be able to have?)
- Review elapsed time by helping your child write down the times that the turkey went into the oven and the time it came out. Younger children might need a little help calculating the number of hours if it crosses a 12.
- Setting the table. Simply counting out forks, knives and spoons can be helpful practice for many early learners.
- Math with pies can be extra fun! If everyone eats 1/8th of a pie, how many pies do you need to serve 14 people? And if you have 8 slices of pie, and two are left over, what fraction of pie is left over?
Incorporating math into everyday activities can help strengthen a child's conceptual understanding. What Thanksgiving activities do you do at home or in the classroom that encourage math learning?

Managing Prayer Cards and Devotions
Create a Prayer Account
Create a separate account for texts that you want to read regularly rather than memorise. Since the references probably play a minor role, you can select the option "Learn by Topic" when setting up the account.
You can add texts in the "New" box or import a collection of texts from "Collections". Some kind of numbering is useful as reference. For example, if you split up a collection of long prayers into individual prayer cards - such as the books by Stormie Omartian - the references could be 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b etc. References are used to sort the cards. It is also helpful to add a topic to each prayer.
Sort the prayers by topic or by reference (alphabetically) by tapping the "New" tab a second time. It is best to say the prayers aloud and in your own dialect or words. This way, even preconceived prayers can turn into a personal conversation with God. Write down impressions and thoughts that become important to you during prayer below the prayer text ("Edit verse"). In this way, your prayer account also becomes your prayer diary and reflects part of your communication with God. Move the prayer after your daily devotion to the "Due" box to keep track of your prayer progress. The "Known" tray is not needed for prayers.
Reusing a Prayer cCollection
If you want to start over with a prayer collection after you have completed it, select a prayer (long press), then "select all", and move the whole collection back to the "New" box.

Pigment Lady's Tips for Using Pigments
Before you begin, you'll need to sit down and examine your soap recipe to determine what color, if any, your particular blend of ingredients brings to your batch. If you use beeswax, wheatgerm oil, milk or even a high percentage of olive oil (and don't forget, some essential and fragrance oils may also impart color), your soap base may be a shade of yellow. Therefore, it's important to remember the color of your oils will interact with the colorants.
For example, if you add ultramarine violet to yellow base oils, you will end up with a gray soap while adding ultramarine blue to yellow base oils will result in a green soap! Even a pale shade of yellow will affect the final shade of your soap. Therefore, I strongly recommend you test the colorants with your particular combination of ingredients before coloring an entire batch. The next time you make soap, simply pour 2 ounces or so of raw, traced soap into a Dixie cup and add color to just that 2 ounces to see how the colorants react with your recipe.
Now, let's get down to the nitty-gritty! Please note the following information is calculated for a one pound batch. If you are coloring only a portion of your batch or are using a larger recipe, remember to adjust quantities accordingly.
1. With the exception of some of the Lakes, the dyes in the Un-Natural Pak are water-soluble and color by dissolution. On the other hand, the pigments in the Natural Pak and the Lakes in the Un-Natural Pak are insoluble and color by dispersion. Even though some of the colorants are not soluble in water, I recommend adding the colorants to 1/2 ounce of warm, distilled water as the water serves as a carrier to disperse the insoluble colorants. (Remember to reduce the amount of water to be mixed with your lye by 1/2 ounce.)
2. If you are working with oxides or ultramarines, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of pigment to the warm, distilled water. If you are working with D&C or FD&C dyes, add one.15cc scoop of dye to the warm, distilled water. Remember, more IS NOT better when using the dyes.
3. Stir until the water-soluble dyes have thoroughly dissolved into the water. Since the pigments and Lakes will not dissolve, simply swirl the water/colorant mixture around in the container. Please note the colorants may be added at any time during the soapmaking process.
4. Until you are comfortable working with the colorants, I recommend using a pipette to add the tinted water. Simply add one dropperful at a time of tinted water to your batch, mixing well after each addition. This technique allows you to control the final intensity/shade of color. Remember, if you eventually use all the tinted water, you can always mix and add more. However, if you immediately pour all the water into the batch and end up with too much color, you're stuck with it!
Have fun experimenting and be sure to try your hand at blending colors as well as marbeling! And, if you run into trouble or have a question, just give a holler.

A "printing plate," sometimes referred to as a "production plate," is the practice of organizing the pieces of a multi-part print so that several parts will fit onto a build area. They help streamline printing and production by reducing the number of separate printing tasks. Organizing your multi-part print onto plates is a relatively easy design trick for improving your speed of production. Here are a few tips in case you're doing this:
- Draw a square or rectangle the shape of your build platform into the design. Try to organize your parts onto that square1 and delete the square when done. 2
- Start by placing the largest piece onto a square, then adding the largest piece you can manage to the plate. Add as many little pieces as you can around the larger parts.
- If you are printing slot-together parts, you can safely mirror or flip the pieces. Once printed, they'll be functionally identical whether they were printed face-up or face-down.
- Packing parts together can actually reduce warping and curling. You may find that the extra parts will either provide apron-like mechanical advantages by holding down corners or thermal walls.
- If certain parts need to be printed multiple times, put them with other parts that need to be printed multiple times. In the case of Dino-Girl's spidersaur, it has two different kinds of legs – four identical long legs and four identical shorter legs. It also had a body panel and a fang part that needed to be printed twice each. I created one plate with a long leg, a short leg, and the body panel and another plate with a long leg, short leg, and the fang part. If you print each of those plates twice, you end up with four long legs, four short legs, two body panels, and two fang parts.
- Ask for help! I had a lot of trouble organizing the last five parts onto the fifth printing plate. I enlisted the help of two other Thingiverse citizens, Syvwlch and Renosis, in organizing this plate. They each solved it in a nearly identical fashion in far less time than I had spent trying to figure it out.
- Use a stepper extruder. If you're packing parts in closely together, you're going to want the kind of fine-grain control a MK6 stepper extruder can provide.
What other tips do you have for creating printing plates?

Expectations, Learning and Business Cycle Fluctuations
This paper develops a theory of expectations-driven business cycles based on learning. Agents have incomplete knowledge about how market prices are determined and shifts in expectations of future prices affect dynamics. In a real business cycle model, the theoretical framework amplifies and propagates technology shocks. Improved correspondence with data arises from dynamics in beliefs being themselves persistent and because they generate strong intertemporal substitution effects in consumption and leisure. Output volatility is comparable with a rational expectations analysis with a standard deviation of technology shock that is 20 percent smaller, and has substantially more volatility in investment and hours. Persistence in these series is captured, unlike in standard models. Inherited from real business cycle theory, the benchmark model suffers a comovement problem between consumption, hours, output and investment. An augmented model that is consistent with expectations-driven business cycles, in the sense of Beaudry and Portier (2006), resolves these counterfactual predictions.

Drug Class: What is Diamox and why is it prescribed?
Diamox Mechanism: How does Diamox work?
Diamox Dosage: How should you take Diamox
Possible food and drug interactions when taking Diamox
Special information on Diamox
Diamox side effects
|Drug Class: What is Diamox and why is it prescribed?|
|Generic Diamox helps to treat glaucoma, certain types of epilepsy or seizure disorders.
Generic Diamox can also help mountain climbers who get altitude or mountain sickness.
|Diamox Mechanism: How does Diamox work?|
|Generic Diamox belongs to a group of medicines called carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
Carbonic anhydrase is a chemical in the body that is responsible for the production and breakdown of carbonic acid. Part of this reaction results in the production of bicarbonate. Generic Diamox acts to inhibit the action of carbonic anhydrase and thereby decrease the production of bicarbonate.
Bicarbonate is required for the production of the fluid that fills the back of the eye (aqueous humor). By decreasing the production of bicarbonate, Generic Diamox decreases the amount of aqueous humor produced in the eye. This helps reduce the pressure caused by the fluid within the eye in conditions such as glaucoma.
In the kidneys, Generic Diamox acts to increase the amount of bicarbonate lost from the body. Bicarbonate draws water with it from the kidneys. This results in a small increase in the amount of water being lost from the body. Therefore Generic Diamox has some activity as a diuretic. As Generic Diamox causes only minor water loss, it is called a weak diuretic.
Generic Diamox may also be used in conjunction with other anti-epileptic medicines in the treatment of epilepsy. It is not fully understood how Generic Diamox works in this condition. Generic Diamox is thought to stabilise the activity of nerves. Chemicals must pass through openings on nerve cells for electrical signals to be generated. By decreasing the amount of bicarbonate produced in the body, Generic Diamox alters the balance of chemicals in the blood. This may alter the amounts of some chemicals that can pass through the openings on nerve cells. This in turn, may help prevent excessively rapid and repetitive firing of electrical signals. Thereby electrical nerve activity in the brain may be stabilized, leading to prevention of fits and maintenance of normal brain function.
|Diamox Dosage: How should you take Diamox|
|Take Generic Diamox exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Your doctor may adjust the dose, as needed.

Tell your prescriber or health care professional about all other medicines you are taking, including non-prescription medicines, nutritional supplements, or herbal products. Also tell your prescriber or health care professional if you are a frequent user of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, if you smoke, or if you use illegal drugs. These may affect the way Generic Diamox works. Check with your health care professional before stopping or starting any of your medicines.
|Special information on Diamox|
|Most Important Fact about Generic Diamox
Generic Diamox is considered to be a sulfa drug because of its chemical properties. Although rare, severe reactions have been reported with sulfa drugs. If you develop a rash, bruises, sore throat, or fever contact your doctor immediately.
Generic Diamox precautions if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
Special warnings about Generic Diamox
Do not stop taking Generic Diamox suddenly if you are taking it to prevent seizures. Your prescriber or health care professional may want you to reduce your dose gradually.
You may get drowsy; until you know how Generic Diamox affects you, do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs mental alertness.
Drink several glasses of water a day. This will help to reduce possible kidney problems.
If you have diabetes, monitor blood and urine sugar and ketones regularly. Generic Diamox can increase sugar levels. Check with your prescriber or health care professional if you notice any changes.
Be very careful about taking high doses of aspirin if you are also taking Generic Diamox. Effects of this combination can range from loss of appetite, sluggishness, and rapid breathing to unresponsiveness; the combination can be fatal.
If you have emphysema or other breathing disorders, use Generic Diamox with caution.
If you are taking Generic Diamox to help in rapid ascent of a mountain, you must still come down promptly if you show signs of severe mountain sickness.
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. Generic Diamox may increase the sensitivity of your skin to sunlight. Use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing when exposure to the sun is unavoidable.
Why Generic Diamox should not be prescribed?
If you feel you have experienced an allergic reaction, stop using Generic Diamox and inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately.

olive" in German (I think they did use the English like that) wasn't what I would call "olive" in English. We had a big debate in the office whether to leave it as olive or translate it to an appropriate name for the colour patch - can't remember what we decided in the end! It's possible that either (a) the colour patch was inaccurate or (b) whoever labelled it as "olive" wasn't familiar with what colour "olive" is actually supposed to be (whether in English or German).
I wonder whether some of the examples of "mismatched" colour + noun pairs are to do not so much with visual perception of colour and more to do with the symbolic associations of certain colours which led to certain objects being assigned that way? Not a question I'd be able to answer though!

Dividing Driver
The first GGG-built tool completed for GaoGaiGar's use - developed from schematics that were used in Genesic GaoGaiGar's Bolting Driver. Utilizes the power of GaoGaiGar's "holy" (Protect) left arm to energize and discharge the tool's "Dividing Core," which emits a shockwave based on "Dividing Energy" that bends material space (land, air, water, electromagnetic barriers, but not an airless environment) to create a circular "Dividing Field" of 10 kilometers in diameter from the leading edge of its target impact. (The "Dividing Field" itself is actually a paired reaction, formed of an "Arresting Field" and a "Repression Field" that expand simultaneously.) This area of bent space (kuukan) allows GaoGaiGar to fight his opponents within it without risk of collateral damage to the surrounding area.
The Dividing Field collapses after thirty minutes, restoring the area to normal; if an object of consequential size is left within the field after that time, the act of the field collapse will crush it, causing a gigantic explosion.
The Dividing Driver is easily the most oftenand creatively-used of the tools at GaoGaiGar's disposal: it has also been used to open a Zonder from inside (Episode 8); create an ocean depth-resistant "bubble" (Episode 10); open a hole in a cave ceiling (Episode 11); increase the distance between GaoGaiGar and a massive cannon shell (Episode 16); and break out of a Dividing Field-based "Klein Space" in conjunction with the Gatling Driver (Episode 46).
The Dividing Driver resembles a flat-bladed chisel mounted to a cylindrical gauntlet, creating an oversized flat-head screwdriver. It is usually launched from the Mirror Catapult on board the Triple-Decked Flying Carrier (and later Division I: Izanagi); GaoGaiGar intercepts the flight path of the tool and connects with it in midair.
As the Dividing Core within the Dividing Driver is built to be fully discharged with each use, it can only hold one use's worth of energy at a time.
In King of Braves GaoGaiGar FINAL, a modular version of the Dividing Driver and Gatling Driver is built for GaoFighGar's use, separating the "bit" and the Dividing Core. The Dividing Driver configuration is referred to as "Kit number 03" (Kitto numbaa zero-san) and is launched from Division VII: Tsukuyomi.

Pacing is about energy conservation, both physical and emotional. When you're living with a chronic illness, it's an essential skill for preventing flare-ups or "crashes." This "energy bubble analogy" can be useful to help you visualize and understand the limits of your energy, and help you explain them to others.
The Energy Bubble Analogy
Imagine yourself enclosed inside a bubble. This bubble represents your available energetic capacity. If you listen to your body, you will learn the limits of your bubble and stay within them.
Routinely pacing your energy allows the energy bubble to slowly expand over time. This increase in available energy gives rise to more consistency in health. You continue to experience "good" and "bad" days, but you always stay within the limits of your bubble. This includes being cautious on the days you feel you have more energy to do things. These times are when you are most vulnerable.

Making Strange.
The Modernist Photobook in France.
Text by Kim Sichel.
Yale University Press, New Haven, 2020. In English. 224 pp., 120 color + 20 b/w illustrations, 8½x11".
Publisher's Description
A richly illustrated look at some of the most important photobooks of the 20th century
France experienced a golden age of photobook production from the late 1920s through the 1950s. Avant-garde experiments in photography, text, design, and printing, within the context of a growing modernist publishing scene, contributed to an outpouring of brilliantly designed books. Making Strange offers a detailed examination of photobook innovation in France, exploring seminal publications by Brassaï, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Pierre Jahan, William Klein, and Germaine Krull. Kim Sichel argues that these books both held a mirror to their time and created an unprecedented modernist visual language. Sichel provides an engaging analysis through the lens of materiality, emphasizing the photobook as an object with which the viewer interacts haptically as well as visually. Rich in historical context and beautifully illustrated, Making Strange reasserts the role of French photobooks in the history of modern art.

'Kaleidoscope' is a visual response to the work of Philip K. Dick.
This piece experiments with the process of collage; using found imagery - predominantly from botanical textbooks.
Philip K. Dick was a science fiction novelist whose work examines social and political themes, metaphysics and altered states. Continually questioning reality, Dick often explored paranoia, schizophrenia and drug abuse. Inspired by psychedelic and optic art, this piece is a kaleidoscopic collage influenced by Philip K. Dick and particularly 'A Scanner Darkly'.

When a domain changes holder this means that the current domain holder gives up their position as holder of the domain. A new holder takes their place. The current holder cancels the existing domain contract and a new domain contract is concluded between the future holder and DENIC.
There are two options to transfer a.de domain to a new holder:
- The provider who currently administers the domain performs the domain transfer: Both the previous and the future holder of the domain request the provider to change the domain details.
- The domain is transferred within the scope of a provider transfer. This is done in three steps:
- The current domain holder requests their provider to register a provider transfer password (AuthInfo) for the domain concerned.
- The current domain holder communicates this password to the future domain holder.
- The future domain holder communicates the password to the provider of their choice. This provider then carries out the provider transfer using the password and, simultaneously, executes the holder transfer.
Note: A holder change cannot be performed, if the domain bears a DISPUTE entry.

DescriptionSilicon-based tandem solar cells are one of the promising approaches to increase the efficiency of photovoltaic devices beyond the single-material detailed-balance limit while benefiting from the well-established technology of the conventional silicon solar cells. However, an inexpensive, earth abundant, stable and non-toxic material with a proper band-gap has not yet been identified for the upper cell. We suggest CZTS, a chalcogenide with a bandgap of 1.5 eV, as a promising material for the top absorber. The presence of a high temperature (500-600 oC) annealing process in a sulfur-rich atmosphere during synthesis of CZTS makes monolithic integration challenging. Thus, a barrier layer is necessary between the two absorbers. This barrier layer must act effectively as a diffusion barrier and allow exchange of charge carriers between the two cells. In this research, we investigated various layers of TiN and TiO2, deposited with (PE)ALD, as potential materials for the barrier layer. For this purpose, simple stacks of Cu/(~25nm)TiN/Si and Cu/(~80nm)TiO2/Si were prepared, and systematic isothermal annealing experiments at 550 oC in vacuum were performed to simulate the CZTS synthesis conditions. Subsequently, the samples were characterized by XRD, XPS, and sheet resistance measurements to evaluate the effectiveness of TiN and TiO2 as diffusion barriers. Furthermore, optical simulations were done to determine the optical performance of these layers in the near infrared spectrum.

The literal translation of "to speak a language fluently" would be hablar un idioma con fluidez, but I have heard that means that you speak the language fluidly and smoothly rather than that you have mastered the language itself. What is the best way in Spanish to express that you are "fluent" in a language, in the English sense of having mastered that language and being able to speak/read/write/understand it accurately?
You can say that a person is "elocuente". It means the person communicates a message efficiently by means of the spoken language, which is only possible when a certain level of mastery has been reached:
An alternative is the word "dominio" (mastery), or just say that the level is (very) advanced:

When implementing any new idea, programme or change within a practice or service, an essential step is putting in place meaningful measures that can be used to monitor progress and impact.
How do you know you're making a difference?
As a team, discuss what success would look like. What measures or changes would you like to see for yourselves and for your patients? Then think about what can you easily measure and choose 2 to 3 measures of change that are meaningful for you as a team.
As stated by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), measurement is a critical part of testing and implementing changes in your practice. "Measures, driven by evidence-based guidelines, tell a team whether the changes they are making actually lead to improvement."
There are three types of measures:
- Clinical outcome measures: patient-level disease measures (eg HbA1c, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, weight)
- Process measures: care delivery measures (clinical screenings and other processes that impact clinical outcomes such as cardiovascular risk assessment, mammography and cervical screening)
- Balancing measures: measures to ensure that as the first two types of measures are made, other aspects of the health systems aren't interrupted (eg patient/provider satisfaction, wait times, cost of care, etc.)

Sources of data
The following are potential sources of data and measures you may wish to use.
- Primary Care Team Assessment scores
- Patient experience questionnaire Health Quality & Safety Commission
- Partners in Health scale Flinders University (used in some long-term condition programmes in NZ, Australia and wider)
- Patient Assessment Chronic Illness Care Improving Chronic Care, Group Health
- Number of patients with a documented care plan
- PDSA cycles relating to your team action plan
Decide on a frequency
Once you have identified some useful measures, decide how frequently you will review these. It can be useful to have some short-term measures that are monitored weekly or monthly that provide regular feedback on whether the changes you are putting in place are making a difference. Some measures are best done weekly, others monthly and some 3, 6 or 12 monthly.
Other measures are best done 3, 6 or 12 monthly and give a longer-term view.

Asset building organizations use Money Habitudes as a teaching tool, instructional game, conversation starter, and money personality assessment. Asset building is the process of supporting and encouraging low-income and moderate-income (LMI) earners, and those living in poverty, to accumulate, develop, and preserve all types of assets (including credit, savings, housing and education).
Organizations using Money Habitudes in an asset building context include:
- Housing agencies (pre-purchase, post-purchase, foreclosure prevention, transitional housing)
- Tax preparation organizations (EITC, VITA)
- Unemployment agencies, job readiness, welfare-to-work (and those involved with TANF and SNAP)
- Credit counseling and credit repair agencies
- Parenting programs: Head Start, Social Services, and Healthy Marriages and Responsible Fatherhood grantees
- Microloan, microenterprise and entrepreneurship programs
- Prison re-entry programs
- Community financial educators, including Cooperative Extension and universities
- Individual Development Accounts (IDAs) and other matched savings accounts
- Are easy to learn and to use as a facilitator.
- Are non-threatening.
- Provide countless helpful conversation starters.
- Appeal to men and women. They are tactile and hands-on format. People associate cards with fun and being social.
- Are a way to get couples to talk about finances and make joint financial decisions. This leads to them managing their money better. This may mean feeling comfortable to make a budget, share duties like paying the bills or meeting with a financial planner.
- Work across the spectrum of age, income and education to fit most asset building programs.
- Complement other skills programs (e.g., communication, budgeting, saving, etc.) and can be used as an icebreaker, integrated module or standalone activity.

Mice travelled to almost as many countries as the Nordic Vikings did around one thousand years ago, according to the results from a recent study conducted by scholars from the University of Uppsala, Sweden among other institutions. The results were recently published by the magazine BMC Evolutionary Biology.
The study looked at DNA of modern mice in Iceland and Greenland and compared it to the skeletons of Norwegian mice from the Viking era. "We demonstrate that they made it all the way to Greenland," says Elenor Jones of the University of Uppsala, which is leading the study.
The study shows that the Icelandic mice are still of the same stem as mice from the Viking era. The reason is believed to be the fact that the mouse stock in Iceland has been isolated for the most part for centuries. According to Jones, the DNA in Icelandic mice today is identical to the mice DNA from the 9th century.
On the other hand, it is considered unlikely that Nordic mice made it to Newfoundland since only around 20 Vikings made it there and only stayed for a short period of time. It is however not possible to rule out since DNA from old remains of mice from that area for comparison is insufficient.
In Jones' earlier studies, she demonstrated that Nordic mice settled in various places in the British Isles and Ireland. Most likely they got there by nesting in hay and corn which was transported in Viking ships in exchange for livestock, mbl.is reports.

The practice of offering turkey to God was popular in the time of King David, which is why it appears so often in Psalms. It derived from an older practice of offering turkey to one's parents: people thought, Why offer it to our parents? We can offer it to God!, and did so. The older practice of offering one's parents turkey is alluded to in the verse in Genesis (37:3):
וְיִשְׂרָאֵל אָהַב אֶת יוֹסֵף מִכָּל בָּנָיו כִּי בֶן זְקֻנִים הוּא לוֹ וְעָשָׂה לוֹ כְּתֹנֶת פַּסִּים
En hamikra omer ela "Darsheni!". This verse makes no sense on first read — what does having a beard have to do with a shirt? — and must be read at a deeper level.
"אהב" is clearly an acronym for "אכל הודו בלילות", "ate turkey at night", so the verse reads:
Jacob ate turkey, from all his sons, at night with Joseph. Because his son [=Joseph] was bearded, he made him a shirt of stripes.
The "shirt of stripes" that Jacob made for Joseph was actually a sort of bib to prevent the barbecue sauce from getting in his beard. It had stripes so that stains would not appear as visibly as they would on a bib that was all one color.
Later, after the time of King David, the custom evolved further. People stopped offering turkey wholly to God and started eating parts of it, as with a korban sh'lamim. Eventually, they stopped offering it at all, and just ate it themselves, from which derives the modern practice of eating turkey on Thanksgiving.


text: This paper analyzes the agreed and discrepant sensemaking of members of a project team. Embedded in a narratological approach to sensemaking research, we argue that before scholars may be able to understand in detail how agreements are reached and action becomes coordinated, we need first to take seriously the proposition that sensemaking occurs in the context of individuals' idiosyncratic efforts at identity construction. This, we suggest, means attending to the narratives that actors tell about their work and self both for others and their selves. The key research contribution that we make is to demonstrate how work on 'impression management' and 'attributional egotism' may be employed in order to account for discrepant sensemaking. This is important in the context of a literature that has left relatively unexplored the reasons why people interpret differently experiences they have in common.

10 Signs of a Failing Motherboard | Motherboard Failure Symptoms
10 Signs of a Failing Motherboard | Motherboard Failure SymptomsMotherboard is basically the circuit board of a computer where all other PC components are
embedded or placed in. Most
crucial parts of a computer are held together by the motherboard.
Hence, it is the base of the whole
computer, without the motherboard the PC will not simply operate.
Moreover motherboard is also one of the most expensive component in a computer. Having any type of issues in them means that you have to replace other components as well.
Therefore, expenses here are very much greater even than buying a brand new computer. And also troubleshooting problems in a motherboard is much more difficult than in other PC components. However if the motherboard happens to encounter issues, it will start showing up warning signs. With these signs you can determine if your motherboard is going bad so that you can avoid further problems.
In this article, I will be exploring about 10 Signs of a Failing Motherboard | Motherboard Failure Symptoms. At last from this post, you will be able to know whether your motherboard has a problem of becoming dead.
Let's get started,
1. Physical Damages
A failing motherboard most at times shows signs of physical damages especially the capacitors bloated out. When the motherboard starts overheating, the capacitors present on it will be enlarged than usual. This is more common in old motherboard models since they are prone to overheating. However a blown capacitor can be easily replaced but under some conditions. This requires precision soldering.
2. Computer Freezing
Computer freezing is another annoying symptom of a failing motherboard. This can happen all of a sudden when you are working with your computer. But not all the freezes and glitches can be pointed towards the motherboard, there can be software problems as well. However if the freezing happens to occur frequently there are more chances the issue is related to the motherboard.
4. Blue Screen Of Death
Blue Screen Of Death typically occurs when there are hardware problems. But there can be other variety of reasons too. For finding whether the BSOD is related to the motherboard, you can actually search the error code in google so that you can see if it relates with the motherboard. Even if after troubleshooting the error seems to reappear then the issue can be with the motherboard.
4. Slowdown in Performance
Another symptom of a failing motherboard is the slowdown in performance. If the motherboard becomes closer to death, it may experience a case of sluggishness. The programs that is used to run properly may load at a slower rate or your system may take too long to boot up. Either way it is pretty easy to recognize this sluggishness.
5. Hardwares Not Recognized
Motherboard failures can cause the hardwares connected to it to be non-recognized. Most of the peripherals attached to your PC such as the flash drive, mouse and the keyboard will not get recognized. Although the problem can lie on the hardware itself, it can actually be the symptom of a motherboard that is going bad.
6. PC Randomly Restarting
PC randomly restarting is one of the most commonly experienced signs of a failing motherboard. But there are chances where this can be as a result of a virus attack too. Therefore, before coming to the conclusion that this is a sign of a faulty motherboard, you should necessarily full scan your PC. Even after scanning if the issue persists, then possibly this is an indication of a failing motherboard.
7. Burning Odor
If you happen to notice a burning smell emitting from your PC, then you should immediately turn off the computer. This means that the motherboard inside the PC is already overheated to the maximum and should not be used anymore. Despite of this if you continue using the motherboard, it can effect other components as well. Usually this is caused when incompatible components are connected to the motherboard resulting in short circuits.
8. Appearance of BIOS Menu
BIOS Menu is the setup utility menu present on your computer. Usually it is accessed manually by configurations. But if it appears on its own during the startup process, it is an indication that there are problems with the motherboard. This happens when the motherboard has a problem of communicating with recently installed hardware components. Since the BIOS manages all the hardwares, it will show up once the computer tries to boot. And also remember that the appearance of BIOS menu doesn't always mean that the motherboard itself is faulty, other components can actually be the culprit.
9. Malfunctioning Applications
In-spite of motherboard failure if you still be able to pass the boot process, the applications running on your computer may start malfunctioning. This is because once the motherboard starts failing, its ability to manage hardware components will be restricted. Thus, applications running will experience constant slowdowns and lag times.
10. Beep Noises
Generally when a motherboard encounters failure it will indicate then through a pattern of beep codes. In case if you cannot boot your computer at all, listen for the pattern of beeps given by the PC. Most likely if the pattern is followed by 3,4, or 5 it is a sign of a failing motherboard (Beep patterns vary depending on different motherboard models). If the motherboard is already dead there will be no beep codes given at all.

- Introduction to Writing Appointments
 We've all been stuck on a paper before. Sometimes we can't get started. Other times, we're not sure if our writing makes any sense. Then there are times where, after working on a paper for so long, we just can't look at it anymore. From the moment a paper is assigned to the time it's due, the writing process can be overwhelming. That's why we're here.
 Any student at Monmouth can make a one-on-one appointment with Writing Services. You'll meet with one of our Writing Assistants (WA)—a peer, faculty, or professional tutor. That person will work with you individually to review your writing from any class at the University. Our WAs offer assistance, but they don't criticize your work. They don't grade it or mark it up. In fact, WAs won't write on your paper at all. The only red marks will be your own.
 Resources for Students
 Appointments are meant to be collaborative and informal. Throughout the session, you and the WA will have a dialogue, where the WA will address your concerns and help you determine what your paper needs—whether it's a clearer thesis, stronger supporting points, proper APA format, etc. The WA is there to guide and motivate you to draft the best paper you can.
 WAs work with students on all stages of the writing process—from planning to proofreading. You actually don't have to have anything written when you come for your appointment. You can visit Writing Services only when you need to, or you can schedule regular appointments throughout the semester. You also have the option to work with the same WA or a variety of different people. No matter what you're working on, we'll provide that second pair of eyes to look over your writing.

Chapter 11: Referee Personas
A Referee Persona (RP) is any persona – alien, bot, or anthropomorph – that is not run by a player. Anything not run by a player must be brought to life by the referee. Any entity the ref controls is essentially an referee persona of one type or another and only the degree of the referee's involvement varies. The referee is responsible for controlling the planetary denizens that wander about on uncharted planets and she is also responsible for portraying the personas that may join the expedition in their campaign. The difference in preparation of these two examples is enormous yet they both fall under the category of referee personas.
Referee Role-Playing
It is the responsibility of the ref to role-play referee personas to the best of her ability. For example, intelligent aliens must seem and act intelligently; nomads will never sleep in a bed if it can be avoided; anti-knites must be absolutely ruthless, sparing no personas in their righteous path; aliens must be alien in personality as well as structure; robots do not have facial expressions or body language.Presenting these sorts of character identities is the responsibility of the ref. Referees must be as diligent in ensuring the uniqueness of the various personas as they are in ensuring the originality of their scenarios. They must be prepared for a form of controlled schizophrenia as it may be necessary to switch from one referee persona to another in an instant.
Referees cannot expect of themselves repeated brilliant performances of wholly unique personas nor will the player always notice or appreciate such displays. The players are there to role-play and have fun and the referee is there to role-play and have fun too. It is also the referee's job to ensure that precious game time is shared between the personas and the referee personas. To be more blunt, referees have to be egotistical attention seekers (or they wouldn't be referees) and they must ensure that they don't take over the show and bore the rest of the players. (Enough of this referee-player pseudo-psychological investigation!)
Regardless of the involvement of a referee with her referee persona (RP), she cannot afford to get attached to her personas like the players do. Referee personas may serve no purpose other than cannon fodder; they may depart the scenario at any time either violently or by choosing a separate path from the expedition. Often referee personas will simply be dispatched by paranoid players. Regardless of the importance of a referee persona, the referee must be ready to part with them at any moment because they will always end up on the referee persona scrap heap.
Generating a Referee Persona
An RP includes all the components a persona does plus a few more. An RP is expected to have experience levels and a collection of toys. A simple system is given to randomly determine an RP's type, attributes, class, level, personality, etc. The system is outlined in the Referee Persona Checklist. Most often the ref will have some idea of what kind of an RP is desired. This system can be used to flesh out some (or all) of the information which the ref has not already decided on.

4)Determine Level.
5)Generate Combat Table.
6)Determine Equipment.
7)Generate some qualities.
8)Calculate combat ration (CR).
9)Name the RP.
1) Origin, Presence, and Goal
As previously stated, referee personas can have a wide degree of involvement in a campaign or with an expedition. All referee personas must have an origin, presence, and goal. The origin of an RP should explain where it came from and why it things the way it does. The presence of the RP will dictate how and why it interacts with the expedition. The goal of an RP is what it wants from the campaign, dictating what it will do with the expedition and when it will part company.
For 95% of the RPs the expedition will encounter, the Trinity of the RP (origin, presence, and goal) will be pre-determined. Referee personas such as innocent civilians and animals will have simplistic origins such as migrating through the area or on their way to work. Their presence might be riding on the subway or rummaging through the bushes. Their goal may be to find some berries to eat or to get to work on time. If the expedition frequently intervenes in the lives of such unimportant referee personas, the referee need have no more prepared than usual.
If the referee persona is a more important one the referee must create a more detailed origin, presence, and goal. Let's consider a young man from the farming district of his impoverished planet (origin) is willing to hire on for the expedition as a porter (presence) if they will take him off planet (goal). Another referee persona could be a very hungry alien that just jumped out of a tree (origin) and is ferociously attacking the expedition (presence) because the alien's hungry and the expedition members look like something good to eat (goal).
Other RPs may have much more complex origins, presences, and goals. Vishna Shraloor is a referee persona with death field generation (a mental mutation). She matured not knowing that this lethal power was within her. She grew up through a series of profound personal tragedies: the death of her parents, the death of teachers, the death of mourning relatives, the death of her playmates, the death of social workers, and the death of foster parents. Many of these deaths may have been caused by her misunderstood mental ability. That is her sad origin.
Vishna's presence is one of a lonely unhappy persona who constantly associates with people she does not like because the people around her tend to die frequently. Her profession is that of an orbital satellite repair person, a solitary job for certain. She has chosen to hang around with the expedition because she does not particularly like them much. This is her presence.
Ms. Shraloor's goals are varied. She would like to destroy the society that has rejected her so totally and she sees the expedition's mentality as something that she can exploit to this end. If an expedition member should happen to befriend her, show her the nature of her mutation, and nurse her through the subsequent guilt, she may follow another path and desire to help the society that continued to reach out to her despite their extreme risk. These are her potential goals.
This chapter provides no guidelines on preparing an origin or goal for the referee's personas but it does help with the presence of the referee personas. In fact, this chapter could be considered a guide on how to prepare a referee persona's presence. If the ref knows that she needs RPs but has no origins or goals, then it might help to create the persona presence first. This is an excellent procedure for sparking the imagination or solidifying a watery idea.

2) Determine Referee Persona Type
The type of referee persona chosen by the referee should be predetermined by the nature of the story being told in the campaign. This should also dictate the depth of persona development required. There are three persona types that the referee can choose from. As a rule, the most frequently chosen will be that of an anthropomorph. EXP is a humanocentric game and the rules are best suited for play by upright, bipedal, anthropomorph personas. The other two referee persona types are aliens and robots. Highly developed alien and robot personas will be extremely rare, but this depends on the ref's milieu. The referee should know exactly what type of persona she wants and the RP creation system should be used to flesh out this precast persona. If, and only if, the referee is completely and utterly stumped should she refer to the Referee Persona Type table.

What is included with this book?
This book tells the story of the Christian religious movement led by Dona Beatriz Kimpa Vita in the Kingdom of Kongo from 1704 until her death, by burning at the stake, in 1706. Beatriz, a young woman, claimed to be possessed by St Anthony, argued that Jesus was a Kongolese, and criticized Italian Capuchin missionaries in her country for not supporting black saints. The movement was largely a peace movement, with a following among the common people, attempting to stop the devastating cycle of civil wars between contenders for the Kongolese throne. Thornton supplies background information on the Kingdom, the development of Catholicism in Kongo since 1491, the nature and role of local warfare in the Atlantic slave trade, and contemporary everyday life, as well as sketching the lives of some local personalities.

Correctly powering your old Boss pedal (ACA vs PSA simplified)
Choosing the correct power supply for your Boss pedal can be a slightly confusing task. In general, Boss compact pedals were designed to use one of two adaptors: ACA or PSA. Although both ACA and PSA adaptors (and all Boss compact pedals) use the same sized jack/connectors as each other, their specifications and requirements are different.
If your pedal was built before 1997 then it's most likely made to use what was called the ACA adaptor. Don't confuse this with what's often called an AC adaptor (used on pedals like the Digitech Whammy 4) as these will fry your pedal.
The ACA adaptor was made for the original Boss compact pedals back in 1977. The supply produces 12v's of "unregulated" DC power even though the pedals were designed to run off 9v's of DC power (like a 9v battery). This meant that the Boss designers implemented some internal circuitry in their pedals to drop the voltage down from the 12vDC that the supply produced to the 9vDC that the circuit needed. It's important to note that this circuitry only impacts the power supply input and not the battery snap.
I know what you might be thinking and yes, this was a really strange way to do things. However pedals were only new back then and they were still working out the kinks, so this is just how it was for a few years.
The first Boss pedal not to use this ACA system was the Boss DD-2 in 1983. Due to it's higher than average power requirements, the DD-2 was designed around the new PSA adaptor which produced 9v's of clean, regulated power. Boss continued using both of these power supplies side by side when designing their pedals for a few years until 1997 when they standardised all pedals and solely used the PSA system.
So how do you know which power supply your pedal needs? Firstly, take a look at the label underneath your pedal for a few clues..
The first thing listed on a Boss compact pedal label is the power requirements of that pedal. The table has two columns: AC Voltage and Boss AC Adaptor. The AC Voltage column gives a list of possible voltages from around the world (100v for Japan, 240v for Australia etc). The Boss AC Adaptor column shows you which adaptor is available in which region.
The most important information to note here is whether your pedal is asking for an ACA-XXX or a PSA-XXX adaptor. The first image you see is the label of a ACA powered Boss CS-1 Compression Sustainer, the second is a PSA powered NS-2 Noise Suppressor.
The other notable places you will find information about which supply your pedal needs is on the sticker next to the power jack or on the box (of a PSA pedal, ACA boxes don't tend to have this noted).
So what happens if you use the wrong adaptor? The short answer is not much. Using a PSA adaptor on an ACA pedal will cause the effect to sound weak and possibly muffled. The LED will also likely not turn on. This is all due to the fact that the power is being reduced to around 6v's internally and is not enough to power the pedal properly (much like an old 9v battery would).
To use your old Boss pedal with a modern power supply, there are a few options:
1) The pedals can easily be modified by bypassing the section that reduces the voltage. This often only uses a single wire and can be easily reversed whilst keeping the pedal 100% original. Contact your favourite pedal company (which is hopefully us..) and they can help out with this.
2) If you're using a daisy chain (or any power supply with what's known as "common ground") and have a PSA Boss pedal in the chain then this will bypass the voltage reduction circuitry and your pedal should function fine.
3) Some modern power bricks have 12vDC outputs or even variable power outputs that are capable of 12vDC. These outlets are usually perfectly capable of emulating ACA power. We use our MXR CAE power supply that has a pair of variable voltage outputs.

For 21 years Ars Cameralis Festival has brought music, artistic, theatrical and literary events to Upper Silesia. The goal of the Festival's visual identity in 2012 was to emphasize the diversity of the programme by delivering a clear and bold statement. All the more so in November, when the weather is rather unfriendly, and the streets in the cities where the Festival is taking place are dirty, grey, featureless, gloomy and half asleep.
The main idea for the visual identity was to direct messages at various groups of recipients – fans of various arts. With this aim, colour-coding was used and a set of pictograms / symbols was designed to represent each of the arts:
1. Ars: music was marked with a heart and the colour red. The heart means rhythm, life, sincerity.
2. Ars: fine art is a peacock's feather (symbolizing beauty, but also vanity) and the colour turquoise.
3. Ars: literature is represented by a bunch of grapes, evoking poetry, on a purple background.
4. Ars: theatre is denoted by fire (transgression, change, energy) and the colour orange.
The four main graphic motifs are depicted in a linear and synthetic way. The form of the signs was to relate to the language of visual information systems on one hand, and high art on the other. A tangle of thick lines creates an ornament, out of which each symbol emerges. The ornament was used as a whole or in parts (e.g. on catalogue covers). The symbols function independently as a series of posters or they are joint together to form a more complex illustration used in printed materials referring to the entire festival (in this case the colour black is used).
Visual identity of the Festival in the previous editions gave primacy to creative freedom of the author, which in some cases meant that the message was not clear to all the recipients. The identity of the 21st edition was first and foremost user-oriented, tailored to the needs and expectations of recipients.
The catalogue submitted to the competition is made up of five brochures connected by a rubber x-band in one of the selected colours. The four brochures are devoted to each of the arts; the fifth, black one, is an introduction to the festival. The catalogues were printed on uncoated paper in duotone: silver and corresponding Pantone and have between 16 and 48 pages. Additionally, a series of posters, billboards, bus shelter advertisements, flyers, video spot, banners, access passes and other elements were designed.


text: We present an exploration of generative probabilistic models for multi-document summarization. Beginning with a simple word frequency based model (Nenkova and Vanderwende, 2005), we construct a sequence of models each injecting more structure into the representation of document set content and exhibiting ROUGE gains along the way. Our final model, HIERSUM, utilizes a hierarchical LDA-style model (Blei et al., 2004) to represent content specificity as a hierarchy of topic vocabulary distributions. At the task of producing generic DUC-style summaries, HIERSUM yields state-of-the-art ROUGE performance and in pairwise user evaluation strongly outperforms Toutanova et al. (2007)'s state-of-the-art discriminative system. We also explore HIERSUM's capacity to produce multiple 'topical summaries' in order to facilitate content discovery and navigation.

Travel Brochure of the Body Systems
Students work in teams to design and produce luxury tours through the Human Body Systems. By creating an eye-catching brochure, students must highlight the trendy spots, the exciting activities, and the imports and exports of the areas. They must also discreetly mention any possible dangers or special precautions that tourists might encounter in visiting these systems. Students' world body tour should include visits to the following systems: (1) Digestive, (2) Respiratory, (3) Skeletal, (4) Muscle, (5) Nervous, (6) Excretory, (7) Circulatory, and (8) Immune.

Artemin is a disulfide‐linked homodimeric neurotrophic factor structurally related to GDNF, neurturin and persephin. These proteins belong to the cysteine knot superfamily of growth factors that assume stable dimeric protein structures. Artemin, GDNF, persephin and neurturin all signal through a multicomponent receptor system, composed of RET (receptor tyrosine kinase) and one of the four GFRα (α1‐α4) receptors. Artemin prefers the receptor GFRα3‐RET, but will use other receptors as an alternative. Artemin supports the survival of all peripheral ganglia, such as sympathetic, neural crest and placodally‐derived sensory neurons, and dopaminergic midbrain neurons. The functional human artemin ligand is a disulfide‐linked homodimer of two 12.0 kDa polypeptide monomers. Each monomer contains seven conserved cysteine residues, one of which is used for interchain disulfide bridging and the others are involved in intramolecular ring formation known as the cysteine‐knot configuration. Recombinant Murine Artemin is a disulfide‐linked homodimer formed by two identical 113 amino acid subunits with a calculated molecular weight of 24.2 kDa.

School closures are just one step
ISSUE: Fort Knox school closures
OUR VIEW: Could signal bigger changes
In the world of public education, closing or consolidating schools usually is a contentious, emotional process.
In Defense Department schools, that rarely is the case. Students and families are more likely change schools because they are relocated to another duty station than to deal with the closing of a school.

Is vinegar as effective as bleach for disinfecting?
Vinegar can be used as a safer bleach alternative for some applications, such as cleaning, and research has shown it can be effective against some bacteria and viruses, including the flu.
Vinegar is not a registered disinfectant, however, and does not kill dangerous bacteria like staphylococcus..
Can I mix ammonia with water?
Even diluted in water, as is recommended for most cleaning purposes, ammonia can still be harmful. The most important safety rule to remember is: Never mix ammonia with chlorine bleach. … Always be sure to wear chemical resistant gloves and ventilate the area well when using ammonia.
What can you not mix with ammonia?
Bleach and ammonia produce a toxic gas called chloramine. "It causes the same symptoms as bleach and vinegar — along with shortness of breath and chest pain," says Forte. Many glass and window cleaners contain ammonia, so never mix those with bleach.
How do you make disinfectant spray with ammonia?
Create a 1:1 dilution of ammonia and warm water in a spray bottle. Spray it on surfaces, such as a greasy countertop, and allow it to sit for about five minutes. Wipe away with a paper towel. Rinse with a spray of cool, plain distilled water and wipe away with a paper towel.
Can you dilute ammonia?
Large volumes of water dilute ammonia, but form highly corrosive ammonia hydroxide solution. Avoid using water unless absolutely necessary to protect life (evacuation or rescue). … Use a dilution rate of 10 to 1 water to ammonia (2 to 1 for maximum dilution of ammonia to water).
What Cannot be mixed with bleach?
16 Common Product Combinations You Should Never MixBleach + Vinegar = Toxic Chlorine Gas. … Ammonia + Bleach = Toxic Chloramine Vapors. … Rubbing Alcohol + Bleach = Chloroform. … Hydrogen Peroxide + Vinegar = Parecetic Acid. … Baking Soda + Vinegar = Ineffective Cleaning Solution. … Two Different Battery Brands = Corrosion. … Medicine + Grapefruit Juice = Adverse Effects.More items…•
What does ammonia do to your body?
Exposure to high concentrations of ammonia in air causes immediate burning of the eyes, nose, throat and respiratory tract and can result in blindness, lung damage or death. Inhalation of lower concentrations can cause coughing, and nose and throat irritation.
What naturally kills black mold?
Baking Soda. Used with vinegar and water or alone with water, baking soda is effective at removing mold naturally. Dissolve baking soda into water or water-and-vinegar solution, and spray onto surface. Let it sit, then scrub and wipe with a damp cloth.
Is it OK to mix ammonia and baking soda?
You can keep them looking their best with a simple mixture of baking soda and ammonia. Cast iron fixtures typically have a baked-on porcelain enamel. You can't use abrasive cleaning products because they can damage the finish. … Just mix 1/4 cup of ammonia and 1/4 cup of baking soda into a paste.
What happens if you pee in bleach?
Chlorine gas can also be released when bleach is mixed with urine, such as when cleaning the area around a toilet or when pets stains are cleaned. Both chloramine and chlorine gases are immediately irritating with a very pungent odor, causing watering of the eyes, runny nose and coughing.
Can ammonia kill you?
Anhydrous ammonia is compressed into a clear colorless liquid when used as fertilizer. … If you inhale it and it gets in your windpipe and your lungs it will cause burns there that's what will usually kill you – if you inhale concentrated ammonia gas," said Nebraska Regional Poison Center's Ron Kirschner.
Can mixing bleach and vinegar kill you?
Although bleach is a strong disinfectant, and vinegar dissolves mineral deposits and kills many types of mold, fungi and bacteria, combining the two can be dangerous. Mixing bleach with an acid such as vinegar creates chlorine gas, a toxic chemical that can be deadly at high levels.

Is it true that 26" rim actual diameter is 25.625"? How does tire size affect wheel diameter? Is there any special formula to calculate wheel diameter?

You could calculate the effective diameter by measuring rollout and dividing that number by pi. To measure the rollout start with your valve stem in the lowest possible position and make a mark on the floor next to the valve stem. Ride the bike one revolution until the valve stem is at the bottom of it's rotation again and make another mark on the floor. Measure the distance between the two marks to find the effective circumference.

Way to provide the physical/math answer and satisfy my math jones (see bicycles.stackexchange.com/questions/1549/…) – Gary.Ray May 3 '11 at 19:50
This is actually the only accurate way to know. There are too many variables to allow you to read numbers off the tyre and get an accurate answer. _USER_ Baranczak's link to Sheldon Brown is a good discussion of the issue. – Мסž May 4 '11 at 2:11
_USER_.Ray, that link goes to a question about calculating power output and doesn't reference tyre diameter at all. – Мסž May 4 '11 at 2:13
_USER_ - my link is to another "math" problem related to cycling - I upvoted Russ for providing both the precise method, and the proper formumla. – Gary.Ray May 4 '11 at 14:46
I wanted a pure mathematical way to calculate a wheel diameter, but it seems an appropriate way to do this. Thanks. – zetdotpi May 4 '11 at 23:20
Your wheel diameter can vary depending on:
 - tire model you are using
 - tire wear
 - air pressure
share|improve this answer
I wouldn't trust any formula, since the actual outside diameter can be affected by so many things, and since the advertised tire width isn't always accurate. If you want the diameter, do like Russ said and measure it yourself. You might also be interested in what Sheldon Brown had to say on this subject.
share|improve this answer
Summary: In theory 26" was the diameter of the wheel with tyre installed and correctly inflated. That used to be how the sizing worked. So a 26" x 1" tyre needed a different rim size than a 26" x 1 1/2" tyre. The larger tyre needs a smaller rim to get the same outside diameter. Obviously this makes it hard to find tyres, so now we use ISO "beat seat diameter", so any 559 tyre will fit any 559 rim (that size is commonly called 26" today), even though it may not fit into your frame and the outside diameter will change with tyre size. – Мסž May 4 '11 at 2:18

Conkeror has a sophisticated keyboard interface for interacting with web content. Unfortunately, in this area, power comes at the price of some complexity. Conkeror's keymap system may seem more complex than that of its mentor software, Emacs, but this complexity is unavoidable given the complexity of the GUI-web environment that Conkeror must deal with. For example, there must be a set of key bindings for use in text boxes, and another for checkboxes, a set for viewing web pages, and another for non-webpage buffers. In fact many keymaps for the many different contexts of focus that the user can be in. When you want to bind a command so it is available in suitable contexts, you need to pick the proper keymap to bind it in. In this article, we will try to describe all of the available keymaps to help you select the right one.
At any moment a Conkeror window has a stack of current keymaps, with the keymaps most specific to the context at the top, and the most general at the bottom. Which keymaps are present in this stack is partly static and partly dynamic. For example, content_buffer_normal_keymap has a parent link to default_global_keymap. Binding lookups in the one will always fall through to the other. This is a static link. On the other hand, the relationship between content_buffer_checkbox_keymap and content_buffer_form_keymap is dynamic. If a checkbox is focused, content_buffer_checkbox_keymap will be active, but content_buffer_form_keymap will only be active if that checkbox is inside of an html:form.


Changing Contexts – Changing Meaning: A Sketch of Semantic Seismography
Why does for some words the context of usage change? Often we can identify phases of intensive context changes in which clues to possible causes can be found. Examples of such phases are:
 - controversial discussions in which the proponents or opponents of a position use central words in completely different contexts;
 - punctual events such as natural disasters, historical events or technological changes, in which not only new words are introduced but at the same time old words are used in new contexts;
 - cyclical events such as „Olympia", in which the location of the event and the names of the actors acting or affected change in a time cycle determined by the event.
For the recognition of context changes, the lecture introduces the measure of context volatility. This makes it possible to quantify the rates of context change of words in a diachronic corpus over a given period of time and to identify exploratively those words whose context of use has changed conspicuously over this period. Normalising the rate of change, words of different frequency classes can also be compared with each other. Compared to the pure frequency analysis, low-frequency words can thus also be included in the analysis, for example, for the detection of weak signals, which are often indicated by early changes in the context of usage of low-frequency words. In addition to the highly volatile words, words whose contexts of usage change little over a longer period of time can also be identified, for example, because they are part of a formulaic language in a technical or legal context, or because they represent a political or social consensus in the period under consideration.

When someone writes totally in capital letters it's because they don't want who they truly are to be seen. They may well be totally unaware that that is why they are doing it, but that doesn't change the fact that it is!
People who are just looking for clarity sometimes print. Engineers, accountants, architects are some of the employment groups who very often print because exactness and accuracy are so important in their line of work.
However, capital letters provide no further clarity than printing, so all caps is not done for clarity.
The least possible is revealed from writing in all capitals. Printing shows less than script, but when all the writing is in capitals, it hides even more.
Most handwritten ransom notes, for example, are written in all capitals!
This of course does not mean that everyone who writes in all caps is engaged in something nefarious, or even dishonest. But it does mean they do not want to give too much of themselves away.
You can get something from writing that is all capitals however.
For example, the slant will still tell you the emotional make up of the writer (the farther to the right, the more the emotional expression), and the heaviness of the writing will still tell you how deeply emotions affect this writer.
There are a few other indications that will still show through in all capital writing, however, the main thing to think about is that this person, knowingly or unknowingly, is hiding themselves away.
The question is "why?"

Avoiding CommandBinding in the XAML Code Behind files
Yesterday I got a very good question from a colleague. Basically we were discussing the M-V-VM pattern and how it makes your XAML code behind much cleaner + your application more testable. The only thing that was annoying him was the fact that he had to do the command binding and delegate the work to the ViewModel. So he asked me, "Is there a way how I can remove the Command Binding from my code behind as well?". What he was referring to, was the hooking of Commands to the ViewModel, which would look something like this
 1: CommandBindings.Add(
 2: new CommandBinding(Commands.Search,
 3: (x, e) => vm.Search(),
 4: (x, e) => e.CanExecute = vm.CanSearch())
 5: );
And the answer is, of course you can! After all, is there something you cannot do with the mighty WPF 😛
So how can we achieve this? We have to create a class that implements the ICommand interface. Here is how the ICommand interface looks like.
 1: public interface ICommand
 2: {
 3: event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged;
 5: bool CanExecute(object parameter);
 7: void Execute(object parameter);
 8: }
Very simple isn't it! Here is the MSDN description of the methods of this interface
Defines the method that determines whether the command can execute in its current state.
Defines the method to be called when the command is invoked.
Occurs when changes occur that affect whether or not the command should execute.
So in the CanExecute we have to put the logic that checks if we can execute the command and in the Execute we put the logic that executes the command…. but what about the CanExecuteChanged event? Well here we have to hook up to the Command System. Here is a simple implementation of the ICommand.
 1: public class SearchCommand : ICommand
 2: {
 3: ViewModel viewModel;
 4: public SearchCommand(ViewModel viewModel)
 5: {
 6: this.viewModel = viewModel;
 7: }
 9: _TAG_ ICommand Members
 11: public bool CanExecute(object parameter)
 12: {
 13: return!String.IsNullOrEmpty(viewModel.SearchText);
 14: }
 16: public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged
 17: {
 18: add { CommandManager.RequerySuggested += value; }
 19: remove { CommandManager.RequerySuggested -= value; }
 20: }
 22: public void Execute(object parameter)
 23: {
 24: viewModel.MyDataView.Filter = x => ((Person)x).Name.Contains(viewModel.SearchText);
 25: }
 27: _TAG_
 28: }
 As you can see in order to hook up to the WPF command system we have to override the default behavior of the event and register to the CommandManager.RequerySuggested like so
 1: public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged
 2: {
 3: add { CommandManager.RequerySuggested += value; }
 4: remove { CommandManager.RequerySuggested -= value; }
 5: }
This is very important because by doing so the CanExecute method will be called when ever there is focus changed, user input etc…
Once you have a class that implements the ICommand you can expose that class in your ViewModel and databind to it in the Command property of the control you want to hook up the command to like so
 1: ViewModel property
 2: ///
 3: /// Return an ICommand that can execute the search
 4: ///
 5: public ICommand SearchByNameCommand
 6: {
 7: get { return searchByNameCommand; }
 8: }
 10: XAML to hook to that command
 11:
And that's it… No more command bindings to hook to the Command in the code behind of the XAML file! This is very cool but now I guess the next question would be, so we actually have to create a class and implement an ICommand every time??
Well the answer is HELL NO…. What I do is create a class that does all the stuff for me and then I pass a delegate for the CanExecute and another one for the Execute… as simple as this…
 1: public class SimpleCommand : ICommand
 2: {
 3: public Predicate CanExecuteDelegate { get; set; }
 4: public Action ExecuteDelegate { get; set; }
 6: _TAG_ ICommand Members
 8: public bool CanExecute(object parameter)
 9: {
 10: if (CanExecuteDelegate!= null)
 11: return CanExecuteDelegate(parameter);
 12: return true;// if there is no can execute default to true
 13: }
 15: public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged
 16: {
 17: add { CommandManager.RequerySuggested += value; }
 18: remove { CommandManager.RequerySuggested -= value; }
 19: }
 21: public void Execute(object parameter)
 22: {
 23: if (ExecuteDelegate!= null)
 24: ExecuteDelegate(parameter);
 25: }
 27: _TAG_
 28: }
and to create a command now is as simple as this…
 1: searchByNameCommand = new SimpleCommand
 2: {
 3: CanExecuteDelegate = x =>!String.IsNullOrEmpty(SearchText),
 4: ExecuteDelegate = x => myDataView.Filter = stateObj => ((Person)stateObj).Name.Contains(SearchText)
 5: };
and yes you could say that it is a 1 line of code 😛 (well a long one maybe 🙂 )… yet of course, you can have as much logic in there as you want!
If you want to see a sample project I created a demo app that you can download here.

 1. This is a nice article Marlon. I saw a very similar approach on a Model View ViewModel video a couple last week.
 My question is, how do you handle input gestures with this technique? How do you do to associate a shortcut to your command?
 2. Jeremy that is really a good question … yet I am not able to answer it today because I never did that… when ever I needed that I relied on the Routed Commands…. a good next post I must say 😛

 15. Thanks so much for the great post. It removes most of the junk that we have to create a command binding in WPF. But in real application, the anonymous functions which are used as Predicate and Action are not realistic. Most of the time I have to use a function instead 🙂
 But this is really a nice post. I've learned a lot from this 🙂
