List of the Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors
The Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors (死徒二十七祖, shito nijuunanaso?) are the aristocratic elite of the vampires. The original group were those of the Dead Apostles who escaped from their role as the "emergency rations" of the True Ancestors, but it currently refers to the distinct factions amongst the Dead Apostles due to some having been succeeded by new generations of Dead Apostles. Some of the originals, more than half, have been sealed away by the Church and some have been annihilated, changing the leadership of the different factions throughout the generations as they have been replaced, while others still reign as Ancestors in the present era. There are some missing numbers yet to be replaced, as they have been executed by the Church, sealed by the Church, or they are atoning for their sins.
The sealed Ancestors are stored in coffins within the Church under eternal imprisonment because they are unable to be totally destroyed. The factions following these Ancestors are still in good condition without their leaders, and they are currently gaining strength to either take back their Ancestor or destroy them.[1] Those who are over four thousand years old from the Age of Gods are referred to as the Elder Title: League of the Age of Gods (神代連盟（エルダータイトル）,?). There are those who favored establishing kingdoms consisting of Territories, Dead Apostles, and the Dead, and there are some exceptional members who possess neither a Territory nor a coven. The oldest favor Territories, whereas those who transformed from the culmination of pursuing magecraft have little interest in such power.
The main reason why the group remains in some form after years of repeated killing and destruction among each other and hunts from the Church is because one Ancestor acts as the prophet. Declaring the Rose Prophecy (薔薇の予言,?), she always foresees the death of those Ancestors and warns them so they may prepare a successor immediately. Louvre was given the message "--Tonight, Death will appear before thee" around three hours before his death. They are mainly non-aggressive against one another, and there are two main factions in the present. They can be considered an organization with power rivaling the Church and Mage's Association.[2]
They are very powerful beings, and many have the ability to utilize Reality Marbles. Their general rankings are not determined exclusively by how powerful he or she is individually, but rather the paramount danger he or she poses to humanity. Those within the first ten ranks cannot be defeated by normal concepts, as they, themselves, are fantasy much like members of the Phantasmal Species. Those who live in fantasy can only be defeated by fantasy that is greater than themselves. Furthermore, for those who have reached the Ancestor class, it is possible to exist as a phantom even after losing the physical body. Those who have completely lost their original bodies are Nrvnqsr Chaos, Stanrobe Calhin, Night of Wallachia, Gransurg Blackmore, Caubac Alcatraz, and Michael Roa Valdamjong. They are, on average, capable of facing Servants in battle, but, as both are types of beings that live in Mystery, such battles would come down to "having the means of killing the other guy somehow."[3]
Servants will generally hold a slight advantage, barring compatibility issues, and the Knight classes, Saber, Archer, and Lancer, will all be able to have solid fights. Though Saber's Excalibur is extremely effective against those who overwhelm by material quantity and alienness, there are those capable of surviving being hit by Excalibur-class attacks through pure endurance. At the same time, those same ones with extreme endurance would have a tough time with Lancer's Gae Bolg.[4] ORT, to which Earth's rules do not apply, and Primate Murder can be called in a league of their own above both Ancestors and Servants.[5]
Aylesbury ValestiEdit
One major event for the Ancestors is the Aylesbury Valesti (アルズベリ・バレステイン,?) ritual established by Crimson Moon that involves the revival of The Dark Six.[6] It is a grand ritual the Ancestors have been preparing for decades, and it has come together in Aylesbury over the last ten years. It is suggested that the ritual, performed much earlier in the 1970s for unknown reasons, resulted in the world's mana being dried up in Fate/Extra.[7] Due to the development being funded and developed entirely by human means, the Mage's Association and Church are unable to intervene until the advent of the ritual.

Every year, approximately 9,000 children in Malaysia are born with autism. Children with autism face challenges in terms of their communication skill, tendency to wander, and lack of safety awareness. The main idea of ATTracT is to develop a system that uses GNSS-enabled devices tailored to the needs of autistic children who have a propensity to wander. Parents will be provided with a system they can use on their mobile phones to track and monitor their children in real-time. The aim is to set up a defined movement zone (with virtual boundaries) that will be activated according to a daily schedule. Alerts will be sent immediately to parents' smartphones if their child crosses a virtual boundary, and ATTracT can also store corresponding movement histories. In addition to mobile devices, a real-time monitoring system will also be set up to help schools or autism rehabilitation centres track the movement of the children under their supervision at the same time. The system will thus provide parents and autism centres with an effective and reliable method of monitoring children with autism.

Fungus is one of the famous mountain treasures. There are many benefits of edible fungus. The content of iron in fungus is extremely rich. Therefore, eating fungus can nourish the skin, make skin rosy, radiant, and prevent iron deficiency anemia.
The gum in the fungus can concentrate the dust and impurities remaining in the digestive system of the human body and discharge it out of the body, thereby playing the role of clearing the stomach and purifying the intestines. It also helps to digest fiber-like substances, dissolves and deuterces in indigestible hair, chaff, wood residue, sand, metal shavings, etc. that are inadvertently eaten. Therefore, it is a mine, chemical and textile worker. Indispensable health food.
However, it should be noted that there are three foods in the fungus:
- Do not eat unripe fungus: After the black fungus is cooked at high temperature, it can improve the solubility of dietary fiber and black fungus polysaccharide, which is helpful for absorption and utilization. Therefore, black fungus must be cooked, do not soak water and start to eat directly..
2, people with abnormal blood lipids should pay attention to the amount of consumption: people with abnormal blood lipids, often eat fungus can play a role in diet, but can only be used as an auxiliary means of drug treatment, eat 2 to 3 times a week.
3, people who are not well digested can not eat: fungus is not easy to digest, people with indigestion of the intestines, eat more and cause flatulence, exacerbate indigestion, so the body is not good, it is best not to eat.
Do you like to eat fungus?

Reducing Power Fail Issues in Industrial Flash Memory
As embedded applications increasingly rely on solid state drives rather than traditional hard disc drives, the need to manage power fail issues has become central to ensuring data integrity. Delkin Devices designs solid state drives, or SSDs, that incorporate multiple levels of data protection should a power fail event happen, alongside the other features you expect from Delkin embedded applications, including small footprints, reduced power consumption, increased reliability, and high-level performance.
Power Fails in Flash-Based SSDs
Power fails that affect flash storage can occur in a number of different instances, including power outages, brownouts, power surges, and power spikes. They can also occur if the SSD itself is removed manually without powering off. Power fails that occur during idle times or during read operations are generally not problematic. The issues arise when a failure happens during a write operation.
When a power loss occurs in the midst of a write operation, it can cause data loss. This is because the data that was being written to the storage was not completely saved, so it could be lost. This kind of power failure data loss is also called a write-abort failure.
Although only a small amount of data may not have been written when a power failure occurs, it can cause significant ongoing problems, including fatal corruption of the entire system. It can also cause inefficient use of memory capacity, which can dramatically shorten the lifespan of the embedded flash storage.
Reducing the Risk of Power Fail Issues
Taking steps to reduce external sources of power loss is important for mitigating the risk of power fails. These steps include using surge protectors and avoiding overloads of power systems. However, you cannot always prevent a power fail from occurring, so internal protections are essential for reducing the risk of data loss.
For flash memory systems that handle critical data, it is necessary to have built-in power loss controls, including systems for monitoring power supply and the ability to recover data after a power loss that occurs during a write operation. Although these systems cannot always prevent a small amount of data loss, they can prevent complete system corruption and the loss of large data stores.
For engineers and OEMs, considering the power fail protection systems that are integrated into industrial flash memory and how these systems impact performance are key factors when selecting an SSD storage solution. Delkin specialists are available to answer questions about power fails. A White Paper on Power Failure is also available for download from Delkin.

In order to highlight the benefits of an IPv6-based IoT, in this page we present three different use cases that have been implemented in the context of the IoT6 project. They show well how it is possible to interconnect different devices, and create interactions between different services. In detail, first, we illustrate the integration of legacy building automation devices into a homogeneous IoT IPv6-based smart office. Then, an advanced scenario regarding building safety is described. And finally, in the last use case, focused on building maintenance, we describes the replacement of a faulty device.
Use case 1: Smart Office and legacy devices Integration
As there still exists a heterogeneous landscape and large variety of legacy devices and networks in the building automation domain, their integration into the Internet through a single interface is still a challenge to face. But, actually it can be addressed by IPv6 and the IoT. In the presented Smart Office scenario, several automation devices of different legacy networks (i.e., BACnet, KNX) are integrated through a gateway which is responsible for translating legacy protocol messages into IPv6 packages and providing a homogeneous view on the underlying heterogeneous networks and associated devices.
Figure - Use case 1: smart office presence detection
The Smart Office use case starts when an employee enters the building and presents his/her RFID badge to the system's RFID reader. As the RFID reader is IPv6-enabled it may directly communicate with the CMS using IPv6. The CMS subsequently chooses the employee's comfort profile for his/her office and sends settings and commands to the IoT6 GW which integrates devices of the particular office into the IoT. The IoT6 GW controls a variety of different devices from heterogeneous building automation
networks and masks this heterogeneity by providing a uniform IPv6 interface for all devices. The IoT6 Gateway can in further consequence be used to set user-defined preferences for the employee in his/her office. In the example case, the heating actuator setpoint (H) and two brightness actuators (L) integrated through a BACnet network are adjusted. At the same time, also the position of the sunblind (B) which is controlled via a KNX network is adapted according to user preferences. For the CMS, the idiosyn-crasies of the different underlying legacy networks make no difference as the IoT6 Gateway transparently integrates these devices into the IoT allowing to adjust them in a uniform way.
A similar situation to the one illustrated in Figure can be observed when the employee leaves the office building. As soon as he/she provides his/her RFID badge to the RFID reader, the CMS is informed that the employee is about to leave the building. In this case, the CMS can execute an energy-saving rule which turns off all devices in the employee's office. Alternatively, a presence sensor in the office combined with a time-out could be used to detect absence and initiate the energy-saving scenario.
Use Case 2: Safety alert and dynamic routing
The second use case, slightly more complex than the first one, is focused on an emergency situation and the capabilities of an IoT architecture to deal with this. As initial setup for this use case, an IPv6-enabled temperature sensor (S) is considered which periodically sends an update of the sensed temperature value to a Control and Management System (CMS) available as service in the IoT. The starting point for this use case is a sensor that reads a temperature which is too high (i.e., outside the boundaries of usual operation). The Control and Management System detects this abnormality and flags the received message as an alert message. It sends the value to a smart router which is a component in the IoT that according to the type of the message may take different routing decisions. If a normal temperature message is received the smart router sends the temperature messages to a Building Energy Management Server (BEMS) that may be responsible for logging and reporting the energy demand of a building. In the present case (excessive temperature), however, the smart router detects the priority of the message (alert) and according to the tagging carried out by the CMS forwards the value to a specific Safety Server (StS) which is responsible for handling alert situations. As the StS receives the abnormal value it firstly contacts the Global Resource Directory (GRD) to gather information about the location of the sensor. If the StS already has a list of alarm devices with their location it can compare the location of stored devices with the location of the temperature sensor to directly turn on an IPv6-enabled alarm device (A) in the vicinity of the alert situation. If the StS has no pre-stored alarm devices for the area for which the alarm was reported, it is possible to issue another query to the GRD service requesting alarm devices that are in the vicinity (e.g., found in 15 meters radius) of the alert. Any device capable of signaling an alarm which is found can subsequently be switched on. Further, the StS may have a list of mobile phones of persons in charge for alert situations (e.g., fire wardens, system engineers). In this case, the CMS has to gather information about the current location of the IPv6-enabled mobile phones from the Global Resource Directory through an additional query. After it received this information, the CMS can inform responsible persons near the area of interest about the alert situation via their mobile phones. As shown in the Figure, all communication is handled via IPv6 which emphasizes the diversity of devices and components that may be integrated in the IoT. If legacy devices are involved, either on the sensor or on the actuator side, again an IoT6 Gateway can be used for integration as described before.
Figure - Use case 2: safety alert
Use case 3: Building maintenance
The third use case is related with building service maintenance. It involves a variety of IoT components and demonstrates how these components in combination with IPv6 communication can be used to detect device failures in a building and investigate as well as fix the cause. In the shown case, a number of sensors are connected to the IoT through an IoT6 gateway (IoT6 GW) which assures that all legacy sensors can be accessed in a uniform way through IPv6 communication (as in the Use Case 1). This use case starts with the failure of a legacy component in the subnet controlled by a specific IoT6 gateway, e.g., a temperature sensor. Usually, a Control and Management System (CMS) observes the value of a temperature sensor to, for example, detect safety situations or perform energy reporting (as in Use Case 2). In the case an observed sensor silently fails, a time-out occurs at the CMS, indicating that something is wrong with the device. A message is generated at the Control and Management System and sent to the Maintenance Tool (MaT) for further examination. In its simplest form, the Maintenance Tool could also run on a local CMS but presently is pictured as global service in the IoT cloud. As soon as the MaT gets the message about the failure of a device, it creates an alert ticket and sends out failure notifications to a variety of mobile phones of responsible persons (e.g., system engineers). The group of recipients may again be based on the current location of the mobile phones for which a lookup call to the Global Resource Directory would be necessary (as in Use Case 2). A person associated with one of the contacted mobile phones seeks out the faulty device and uses a maintenance app on the mobile phone to scan its RFID tag. The information is relayed to the MaT which needs to find out the device which is associated to the respective RFID tag. Therefore, it queries the Global Resource Directory (GRD) for the location of the Smart Things Information Service (STIS), a database-like service that keeps associations between RFID tags and devices. The MaT further sends back information to the maintenance app running at the mobile device providing the system engineer with more information about the device. With the help of this information, the engineer has the possibility to run diagnostics on the device. In this case, the CMS further acts as an intermediary between Maintenance Tool and the IoT6 Gateway, accepting and relaying messages from the Maintenance Tool to the IoT6 Gateway. In case the device's defectiveness is confirmed, a replacement order needs to be made. This order can again be performed using the MaT. The information previously retrieved from the STIS may in this case further be used to directly order the spare part from an Inventory Management System (IMS), another service in the IoT. If the address of the IMS is not yet known by the MaT, it first again has to issue a request to the GRD. Alternatively, the IMS may be part of the maintenance tool in which case the separation of the two services can be omitted.

'In providing aid, our giving must provide strength and bring ease of mind to calm hearts. Don't be materially rich but poor at heart.'
Master Cheng Yen, Founder of Tzu Chi Foundation
Why consider CVA or any other form of cash aid?
In 2021, it is projected that 235 million people will require humanitarian assistance and protection1. 1 in every 33 people in the world population needs help, near 40% increase from 2020. The nature of the global humanitarian needs that usually derive from conflicts and complex crises has now been shifted to public health and health security. This is mostly due to the pandemic which killed approximately 2.3 million people worldwide and about 1000 people in Malaysia as of February 20212.
Through the ILMU Hasanah webinar held on 9 February 2021, Yayasan Hasanah has brought to the table of discussion on ways to provide effective and efficient aid delivery through Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA). The webinar aimed to bring to the fore insights and challenges experienced during the common practice of aid delivery within Malaysia's humanitarian landscape. Attended by 82 people who were mostly the actors in the humanitarian field, the informative session was moderated by the Managing Director of Yayasan Hasanah, Shahira Ahmed Bazari. The speakers of the day are Tan Sri Dr Jemilah Mahmood, Special Advisor to Prime Minister on Public Health, Jeffrey Perera, Deputy Chairman of MyKasih and Sio Kee Hong, Deputy CEO of Tzu Chi Foundation.
Globally, CVA has accounted for 17.9% of international humanitarian assistance in 20193. Though the number has increased by 10% since 2015 with a total amount of $5.6b spent for CVA programming in 2019, the humanitarian needs remain a huge gap.
During disaster, giving cash and voucher assistance may be a challenge as businesses are also impacted by disaster and the community in need may not have the means to travel to buy their necessities.The panel, through examples of their work and urged us to consider cash aid for the following reasons:
- CVA is cost and time-efficient. Providing cash or voucher assistance can reduce the cost of delivering humanitarian aid. By providing cash, aid providers, NGOs, and CSOs can use their budget to go the extra mile as no additional logistics are required in cash and voucher programmes.
- CVA is transparent and traceable. With an appropriate transfer mechanism, such as bank cards, MyKad @ identification card and mobile transfer, organisations can reduce the risk of abuse of funds. As an example, the system used by Mykasih allows the organisation to trace items bought as it is barcode controlled and allows them to generate real-time consumptions for audits.
- CVA reduces wastage and addresses the need. Often than not, failure in conducting a proper needs assessment leads to aid organisations providing assistance not needed by the community. The assumption that aid givers 'know' what aid recepients need is misplaced and power laden to some extent. Though the debate on whether to provide conditional or unconditional cash and voucher assistance continues, CVA has proven to provide affected populations with choice and more power to control their lives.
During disaster, giving cash and voucher assistance may be a challenge as businesses are also impacted by disaster and the community in need may not have the means to travel to buy their necessities.
Issues, Risk and Challenges
The panel recognised some misconceptions regarding cash aid which posed challenges to its scaling up and being widely adopted. Some of the challenges are:
- Limited knowledge and capacity – Processes and system is critical in implementing cash aid programming. As the cash programming evolves, there is a demand for humanitarian agencies to build their skills and capacities in fulfilling the gaps concerning technology, social protection, accountability, communication and coordination.
- Quality programming – The concept of accountability to the community in need was introduced with the aim to protect their rights and ensure quality programming. Cash aid programming that was designed without taking into account effectiveness, efficiency and accountability measures may lead to waste of resources, unmet needs, fraud and corruption, which cause the humanitarian gaps to remain huge.
- Protection – In some societies, especially in the protracted crisis area, giving cash may trigger safety issues. Hence, humanitarian agencies need to ensure that a safe and secure transfer platform is prepared when implementing cash programmes.
- Multi-sector assessment– The availability and accessibility of data are crucial in understanding the community's needs. Without data and good analytical ability, practitioners often work in siloes, increasing the risk of duplication and redundancy.
- Donors' reaction to cash provision– Too often, the decisions to provide to the community are driven by organisations and funder's mandate. However, this risk can be reduced if both parties (the organisation and donors) understand the basic principles of humanitarian principles: humanity, neutrality, independence, and impartiality.
- Practicality – Sometimes, during the disaster, resources are scarce. Giving cash aid during the onset of disaster might not be practical when the businesses are also shut down and impacted by the disaster. In some remote area, limited retail outlets may also pose a challenge for the implementing agencies and community.
Some CVA approaches being practiced in Malaysia: The case of MyKasih, Tzu Chi Foundation and Yayaysan UEM
During the session, Jeffrey and Sio Kee Hong shared their organisation's approaches in implementing CVA. Leveraging on MyKad technologies' innovation, MyKasih's cash aid programming allows the people in need to choose items they need in the selected retail outlets. All recipients will have their MyKad activated and registered with the MyKasih system. This approach is not only transparent but also efficient and convenient for the community they help.
Practising a needs-based approach, Tzu Chi foundations offered four types of financial assistance: long-term, education expenses, natural disaster and emergency reliefs and institution. Making use of their large numbers of volunteers, they frequently conducted house visits, frequent discussions with community leaders and provided direct financial aid distribution to the people in need.
Aishah Nor from Yayasan UEM has also shared some insight on her view towards cash aid programming from donor perspectives. Though cash aid is not Yayasan UEM primary programme, there have been continuous discussions about considering cash aid as part of their aid programmes. They have also started providing cash aid in collaboration with Pusat Zakat.
Providing better solutions for a quality CVA programming
In summary, the following solutions were offered to the organisation to consider taking the plunge:
- To have a cash coalition in Malaysia. Coordination from various section is pretty much needed and essential to ensure quality CVA programming in Malaysia. The cash working groups or coalition should work as a platform to gathers experts and practitioners from the field to discuss, share learnings and develop new tools and methods that work for the Malaysian context.
- Setting up the standard for cash and voucher assistance in Malaysia. Cash transfers are among topics that are well-researched in the humanitarian sector with comprehensive resources are available online. Hence, it will be beneficial for us to use the resources to set suitable standards for Malaysia. Though admittedly not all learnings from other regions can be referred to, understanding the culture and the systems that might work in Malaysia may help in setting up the benchmark for CVA programming in Malaysia.
- Link the CVA with the social protection system. The prevalence of prolonged health crisis such as COVID 19 pandemic in Malaysia, which has occurred for more than one year, has pushed for more mid-to-long-term solutions rather than emergency response. Getting the government to involve and collaborate will reduce redundancies and ensure wider distribution. Thus, linking the social protection system with CVA could help address the poverty and economic strain among Malaysians and increase resiliency among the community, with accurate data and coordination.
- Build a narrative of collective impact. All sectors need to work in contributing to shared knowledge, sharing measured success and failures collectively. External evaluation reports on cash and voucher assistance programme in Malaysia is still at scarce or almost none. Hence, an in-depth study in Malaysia is much needed, as it provides an overview of the cash aid situation in Malaysia.
- Develop the capacity of an organisation to understand CVA. Through proper collaboration and understanding of cash and voucher assistance, we can help increase Malaysia's aid provider's capacity. It is vital to make them understand the need to shift from giving in-kind donation to cash.
- Dignity is crucial to all giving. Having a universal unique identity is an example in which dignity can be ensured to nameless undocumented aid receipeints be it refugees, stateless etc.. When we glance at the refugee and stateless crisis that occurs, habitually, they will lose their identity along the way or often need to get a new identity (UNHCR card). As for Malaysians, cash aid programming can be easily done using MyKad and other digital platforms. However, when considering cash aid programming for vulnerable groups such as refugees and stateless, humanitarian agencies might need to make use of the available digital platform or invest in new technology to accommodate the vulnerable people's need.
Restore Dignity, Give with Gratitude, Respect and Love
In conclusion, while we claim to be providing the best services to the people in need, we often forget that the people in need should be given the power to make decisions for themselves. In responding to the call for more cash aid programming, we should also not forget to restore the people's dignity and give with gratitude, respect, and love.

Ever find yourself doing something without knowing exactly why? You might swat at a fly before you consciously realize it is there, or you might catch yourself scratching a bug bite you were trying to forget about. A new study published in Psychological Science could help explain why: half of the brain can be subliminally motivated while the other half is left in the dark.
Researchers at INSERM in Paris first measured how hard 33 subjects could squeeze a grip with each hand. Then they presented the subjects with images on a computer screen of either a one-euro coin or a one-cent coin. The coins were visible to only one eye at a time, and they appeared for only 17 milliseconds—long enough for subliminal, but not conscious, processing. After each coin image flashed, the subjects squeezed the grip with whatever hand they were holding it in—they were told they would win a fraction of the coin's value depending on the amount of effort they exerted. Each subject got to try all four possible combinations of eyes and hands: right eye with right or left hand and left eye with right or left hand.
Although the subjects could not correctly guess which coin they had seen—confirming that they were not conscious of what they saw—they squeezed harder when presented with the larger coin if the hand grip was on the same side of the body as the eye that had seen it. Their squeezes did not change depending on what the opposite eye saw, indicating that only half the brain was being motivated at a time. Motivation, therefore, is sometimes not only subconscious, explains co-author and INSERM cognitive neuroscientist Mathias Pessiglione, but it can also be "subpersonal," in that "one part of a person can be motivated while the other is not." So next time you are surprised to find yourself midaction, consider blaming it on the independent halves of your brain.

Innovation Accounting Is Independent from Kanban
The third and fifth lean startup principles are about execution and are based on lean thinking and the kanban method. The fourth principle, innovation accounting, is about guidance and is independent from kanban. Innovation accounting can tell the founders when to pivot and when to persevere. It can inform them that something is a vanity metric or point them to an actionable metric. The fourth principle is about how entrepreneurs can use validated learning to guide their companies to new, successful business models. You cannot expect to get all this from kanban.
Kanban Can Help Lean Startup, and Lean Startup Can Help Kanban, Too!
Although we have so far considered ways the kanban method can help lean startup, we need to consider an alternative pattern: Lean startup can help kanban, too! I strongly encourage you to check out the work of Canadian kanban consultant Jeff Anderson. He lays out a process of improving an existing software delivery process—a gradual enterprise change enabled by kanban. Anderson is the "entrepreneur," the improvement process is his "startup," and how the organization responds to change is the validated learning. He applies innovation accounting at each step of his improvement initiative. As Anderson's ability to guide his improvement initiative to its next pivot point and onwards produces validated knowledge of how the process change is working.
Another good example of this pattern can be found in the work of Israeli kanban coach Yuval Yeret (). "Start with a minimally viable change based on the core principles of the kanban method," he writes to describe his approach to coaching organizations in kanban, which parallels the work of many Internet entrepreneurs who release minimally viable products to their users in order to obtain validated learning.
Optimizing build-measure-learn kanban systems is difficult, as many of today's agile and lean implementations seem concerned only with the software delivery process or the "build" part—and even that is proving difficult. The build-measure-learn system is more complex and gives a preview of what the future holds for today's agile practitioners.


Presentation: Characterizing Drainage Flows (O'Neill)

Characterizing Drainage Flows that Result in Smoke Intrusions from Prescribed Burning: Rx Burning in the WUI of Bend, OR
Susan O'Neill, Miriam Rorig, Rick Graw and Roger Ottmar
Recording of a presentation at the May 2015 AMS Fire and Forest Meteorology Conference in Minneapolis, MN.
Excerpt from the abstract: "At night, the nocturnal inversion sets up, trapping emissions from the smoldering stages of fires, which can lead to smoke being transported along river drainages directly into towns. The complex terrain makes it particularly difficult to predict when smoke from fires, sometimes many tens of miles away, will be transported into smoke sensitive areas."
Comments from Blane Heumann (TNC): Burning in Bend OR is burning in a "fish bowl" from a smoke perspective. I took away a couple bits to think about: smoke models do not currently do well at predicting smoke issues from overnight or extended smoldering consumption; and cool stuff using weather station data and typical burn prescription to calculate statistics on number and timing of available burn days (in terms of temp, RH and winds).

English Language Fellow Justine Flores conducted a 3-hour teacher training at the Future Pioneers Model School in Jericho. There were a variety of teachers who had studied either education or English in attendance. Flores found that these teachers had complementary skills and paired them together to allow for a more dynamic training session.
The Future Pioneers Model School follows a student-centered learning style where teachers encourage their students to try innovative styles of learning. Flores implemented aspects of innovative teaching in her training by taking time to compare the pronunciation of vowels in English and in Arabic. Participants found that this activity helped them improve their English language awareness. At the end of the training participants felt more confident in their teaching abilities.

History professor examines state and territorial policies that affected early American Indian citizenship
Deborah Rosen, professor and head of history, has taken an in-depth look at early American Indian policy-making in her most recent book, American Indians and State Law: Sovereignty, Race and Citizenship, 1790 – 1880 (University of Nebraska, December 2007). The publication examines the role that state and territorial governments played in extending jurisdiction over Indians as well as defining borders and the meaning of citizenship.
"Belying the common assumption that Indian policy and regulation in the United States were exclusively within the federal government's domain, the book reveals how states and territories extended their legislative and judicial authority over American Indians between the early national period and the Reconstruction era," explains Rosen. "In this book, I detail how state and territorial governments regulated American Indians and brought them into local criminal courts, as well as how Indians contested states' actions and asserted tribal sovereignty."
Several students assisted Rosen with her publication as EXCEL scholars. These students were Robert Alessi '00, Tiffany Blakey '01, Phillip Dudley '04, Andrea Kotrosits '03, and Michael Sparrow '04.
The students handled a plethora of primary source documents that were foundational to Rosen's research, including judicial opinions, trial records, statutes, legislative hearings, constitutional convention debates, newspapers, speeches, letters, and official reports.
The finished book is a "discussion of nationwide patterns complemented by case studies focusing on New York, Georgia, New Mexico, Michigan, Minnesota, Louisiana, and Massachusetts that demonstrate the decentralized nature of much of early American Indian policy," according to Rosen.
In addition to its cornerstone use of primary sources and divergent conclusion, Rosen's book is the first to present a broad study of state and territorial Indian policies, laws, and judicial decisions in early United States history.

A collaboration centric approach for building the semantic knowledge network for knowledge advantage machine
- 244 Downloads
Knowledge advantage machine (KaM) is an advanced system for knowledge exploitation. In this paper, we propose a Collaboration Centric Behavior Model, which helps one or more knowledge-workers to discover and link useful knowledge objects dubbed JANs into a semantic knowledge network. The JAN is constructed as a semantic web service to semantically present three categories of service behavior: expected service behavior that presents what requestor expects it to serve; actual service behavior that presents how it offers its service; and quality evaluation that presents whether its service behavior is consistent with requestor's expectation by checking conformance. On the basis of the KaM architecture, we build a process model to implement to discovery a JAN and link different JANs as a personal knowledge network or a group knowledge network. This is illustrated using an academic research scenario. Experimental results show that the proposed method is feasible and effective.

What is the National Animal of Ireland?
The mountain hare, the national mammal of the country of the Ireland.
A national animal, just like any other state symbol, must have symbolic meaning in order to represent a country. To this Ireland is no exception. However, because the country was not partitioned until 1922 many national symbols represent the period of Ireland before the division.
The National Bird
In the year 1990, the Irish Wildlife conservancy declared the northern lapwing bird as the national bird of the Republic of Ireland, while the Eurasian oystercatcher acts as the national bird for Northern Ireland. This decision was made in 1961 albeit unofficially. Several birds have been put forward as suitable candidates for the national bird position. These birds have included species such as the peregrine falcon, Eurasian curlew, Bohemian waxwing, common swift, and northern pintail.
The national fish of Ireland is the Nothern pike. Fresh water fish have been described as Ireland's national fish. They are also called coarse fish. This category includes the likes of bream perch and carp.
Dog Breed
The national dog breed for the Republic of Ireland is the Irish Wolfhound though some people contest the idea, proposing the Kerry Blue Terrier as the substitute.
The national land animal is not very clear although the Irish Hare has been treated as the national animal. It can be noted that the hare was not the original idea for a national animal. Initially the Irish elk is what was defined as the national animal, an iconic mammal that was found in the whole of Northern Europe. Since this mammal no longer exists, the next possible contender for the spot was the red deer. This was not well received as its origin was also not very clear. Some people still consider the red deer as the national animal. It has faced extinction as its population reduced to such a point that a conservation project was created just to protect the species.
The mountain hare was agreed on as the national animal. This animal is unique to Ireland and not found in any other place. Despite their position of importance this sub species is sadly on a slow decline. The number of mountain hares has been reducing gradually to the concern of many in Ireland who love the animal. According to a survey that was carried out in farms around mountainous areas, the animal might need to be protected from consumption.

Energy-harvesting Playground Equipment
Woman on playground merry-go-round
Imagine if every rotation of the merry-go-round produced power for nearby streetlamps. It could be a reality in the not-so-distant future.
Energy-harvesting playground equipment is pretty much exactly what it sounds like -- playground equipment that is capable of collecting and storing energy. The kinetic energy from your movements could be used to power everything from outdoor playground lighting to possibly even nearby buildings, depending on how many people use the energy-harvesting equipment (the more people working out, the more electricity generated and collected).
Does this sound far-fetched and futuristic? Designers and engineers are already hard at work on the technology. And just how much electricity can you generate while you're on the playground? When you're engaged in moderate-intensity exercise, you generate about 50 watts of electricity in one hour [source: California Fitness]. In the future, the answer to an energy crisis could be as simple as child's play -- literally.


text: Factors affecting viability of IVF-derived bovine blastocysts after freezing and thawing were investigated. A total of 1,101 ova matured and fertilized in vitro were cultured under 2 different conditions, 1) in TCM-199 on granulosa cell monolayers at 5% CO2 in air and 2) in synthetic oviduct fluid (SOF) medium without somatic cell support at 5% CO2, 5% O-2, 90% N-2. All blastocysts that developed from the 2 different culture systems were individually classified into 4 grades of embryo quality and were then frozen by conventional slow freezing. Developmental rates of the IVF-derived ova to blastocysts and the survival rates of the frozen-thawed blastocysts were not different between the SOF medium (16 and 49%) and the co-culture system (13 and 61%, respectively). Survival of frozen-thawed blastocysts was affected by embryo quality in both the SOF and co-culture systems (P<0.001). Blastocysts produced in vitro were also individually classified into 3 developmental stages and were then cultured for 3 d in the co-culture system with granulosa cells after freezing and thawing. There was a difference in the survival rate of frozen-thawed embryos between blastocyst developmental stages (early vs mid, P<0.05; mid vs expanded, P<0.01; early vs expanded, P<0.001). The post-thawing survival rate of blastocysts frozen at Day 7 (62%) of culture was higher compared with that of Day 8 (45%), but there was no difference in survival rate between Day 7 and 8 of culture. The results indicate that the quality and developmental stage of blastocysts are important factors influencing their survival after freezing and thawing.

Insider Guide: Thatching
In our second Insider Guide, we're turning our attention to thatching, a traditional roofing method which dates back over 2,500 years.
In itself, thatching has several advantages, not least its environmental credentials. It uses natural resources, and the harvesting of the materials it requires both encourages new growth and benefits wildlife. Thatching offers very good insulation, enabling the property to be warm in winter and cool in summer, and is also helpful for soundproofing. Importantly, also, a thatched roof gives a feeling of elegance and tradition to the appropriate dwelling, and can elevate the property's value.
The downsides to thatching include the effect on insurance premiums – being combustible, it can inflate the cost of buildings insurance. At Anglian Home Surveyors we recommend that homeowners seek suitable insurance from companies that specialise in insuring thatched properties as their rates are likely to be lower than those offered by general insurance companies. The costs of maintenance and replacement can also be higher than for a conventional slate roof.
The main types of thatch used in the UK and the commonly quoted probable life expectancies for the principal thatching materials are as follows:
- Water reed, often known as Norfolk reed, which has a lifespan of around 50 to 80 years
- Combed wheat reed, which will last 30 to 40 years
- Long straw, which requires a wire mesh cover and will last between 15 and 25 years
- Sedge, which is usually used for roof ridges and has a useful life of 10 to 12 years
There are exceptions to these rules, with some cases of water reed roofs lasting only 15 years and long straw roofs lasting 50 years plus. The quality of the thatcher, their experience in using the material, the quality of the material, the pitch of the roof and geographical or meteorological factors such as wind can all be a major factor in the lifespan of the thatching. The key is to choose the right thatcher, who in turn will ensure the correct thatch materials are used to meet the demands of the location and design of the property within the constraints of listed building or conservation area requirements.
Thatching deteriorates over time, and there are several factors which can contribute to this process. Microbial action is one of the main causes, and this can be accelerated by moisture, so it is preferable to keep the roof as dry as possible, and the growth of moss and lichens can be controlled through chemical treatments. When nesting, birds are a factor as they frequently pull out complete strands of straw, but potentially more of an issue are rodents – including rats, mice and squirrels – as they can chew the straw into smaller lengths. Covering the thatch with a well-maintained wire mesh can help to prevent much of this damage. It is also not unheard of for bats to be present in roof space, and if this is the case, it is important to consult Natural England or the Bat Conservation Trust as the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 states that it is an offence to disturb them when in situ.
With the increased risk of fire that thatching presents, precautions such as ensuring any bonfires and barbecues are kept well away from the building can help to keep everyone safe. It is useful to fit a spark guard to the chimney stack, to have the chimney swept once a year and to test all electrical installations regularly in order to reduce the risk of short circuiting.
It is also possible to apply fire-retardant materials either beneath or on top of the thatch for further protection. Any use of fire retardents or fire protection barriers to roof slopes in the case of a total re-thatch needs to be carefully considered because although they may slow the spread of fire they may lead to reduced ventilation which in turn may cause more rapid degradation of the thatching material used on your roof. It is generally recognised that flue liners reduce the risk of fire to thatch and should be fitted where appropriate to those flues being used.
It is vital to maintain thatching effectively as it does degrade over time. The most noticeable deterioration is the appearance of hollows and soft patches, and the ridges will gradually wear away over the course of 12 years. A qualified thatcher can carry our routine maintenance, and an annual inspection will uncover any issues that need attention.
As a homeowner, it is down to you to maintain thatching and ensure the safety of anyone who enters the property. If you're at all concerned about your thatched roof, or any other aspect of your property, why not call Raphael Stipic of Anglian Home Surveyors, a leading building surveyor in Cambridge, on 01223 661439?
It is important to obtain an independent survey of the condition of the thatch on the property you intend to purchase from an individual who does not have a vested interest in any potential financial outlay as a result of the survey.

Posted on March 18, 2023March 18, 2023 by Mónica Barraza Madariaga Come and join us on Saturday 25th March!. Discover the beautiful, deep and emotional art of the Latin American Arpilleras and let your creative ideas loose. During the Latin Arpilleras workshop, you will learn the technique to create a unique work of art. You don't have to be an artist, just be inspired by your dreams, feelings and desires. Above all, we want you to express your imagination and creativity, through needles, fabrics and threads. Together, we will create a collective work of art in which common stories and experiences are shared with harmony and respect. In this way, we want to represent our common space, be it the Wijkcentrum d'Oude Stadt, the neighborhood or even the city of Amsterdam, with its symbols, colours and shapes. To participate in this workshop, it is not necessary to have prior knowledge of sewing or embroidery. The name Arpillera (or burlap) refers to a type of cloth, usually used for wrapping foodstuffs, such as flour or wheat. It was first used as a canva by the great Chilean artist Violeta Parra around 1960. She named the textile work that resulted from her creative, profound and self-taught way of embroidering her dreams, desires and sorrows on them, arpillera. Soon, the technique was enriched by the hands of the "Bordadoras de Isla Negra", a collective of women embroiderers from this coastal town in Chile.In the 70s and 80s, it became an important popular textile tradition cultivated by hundreds of women in Chile as an act of resistance and denunciation during the Pinochet dictatorship. These "embroidered pictures" became a living testimony of the human rights violations during the dictatorship, but also a form of emotional restraint in the face of the tireless struggle for truth and social justice. Nowadays, this technique is used by women and artists across Latin America. Materials needed: 1. Pieces of coloured fabric (ideally, they should not be elastic or too rigid). The idea is to reuse fabrics and textiles that you already have at home. 2. Sewing and/or embroidery thread and needles 3. Wool. 4. (If you have) Nylon panties and synthetic cotton. We invite you to bring a biscuit to share during the workshop.Free entrance, limited places. Registration in: _URL_ Workshop guided mainly in Dutch.

Department of Biology,
University of Texas at Arlington
''The Wonderful World of Ion Channels''Abstract: Ion channels are membrane proteins that control a variety of cell functions such as excitability, secretion, and osmotic pressure. Ion channels exist in one of two discrete states, open or closed. The time a channel spends in a given state depends on the external stimuli and defines the channel function. This binary "behavior" of ion channels makes them very attractive targets for modeling and mathematical analysis. During this seminar we will discuss the interactions between mathematics and biology in the field of ion channel research.

What Is a Leasehold?
A leasehold is an accounting term for an asset being leased. The asset is typically property such as a building or space in a building. The lessee contracts with the lessor for the right to use the property in exchange for a series of scheduled payments over the term of the lease. Renting space in an office building for a company's use or renting a building to be used for a retail store are two examples of a commercial leasehold arrangement.
Key Takeaways
 - A leasehold is an accounting term that refers to an asset or property that a lessee (tenant) contracts to rent from a lessor (property owner) for an agreed-upon time in exchange for scheduled payments.
 - Owners of retail stores often use leasehold arrangements for their businesses rather than constructing their own buildings.
 - The leasehold contract for commercial properties can be complex agreements that stipulate such things as the payment structure, breach of contract clauses, and leasehold improvement clauses.
 - The contract will stipulate which party is responsible for making leasehold improvements, which might include such things as building walls and partitions, adding lighting fixtures, or constructing shelves.
 - The IRS does not allow leasehold improvements to be deducted. However, the improvements are subject to depreciation.
Understanding Leaseholds
A leasehold contract will stipulate the terms of the agreement between the lessee (tenant) and the lessor (property owner or landlord). The contracts for commercial properties—such as space in an office building—are generally complex agreements that stipulate landlord responsibilities, tenant responsibilities, security deposits, breach of contract clauses, and leasehold improvement clauses. Larger tenants may be able to request more favorable terms in exchange for leasing more space for a longer time. Leases for commercial properties typically run from one to 10 years.
Types of Leaseholds
There are different types of leaseholds, including tenancy for years, periodic tenancy, tenancy at sufferance, and tenancy at will.
Tenancy for Years
A tenancy for years is a type of contract in which the details are spelled out, including the duration of time a renter will reside in the property and the payment that is expected. The contract could last for days or years, but is characterized by a specific starting and ending date.
Periodic Tenancy
With a periodic tenancy, the renter's time in the property is contracted for a non-specified period of time, with no agreed-upon expiration date. The terms of the rental were initially specified for a certain period of time, but the end date continues until the owner or renter gives a notice to terminate. For example, a yearly contract might end, but then evolve into a month-to-month contract, in which only one month's notice is needed to terminate.
Tenancy at Sufferance
A tenancy at sufferance is when the renter's tenant has expired, but the renter refuses to vacate the property, and is therefore staying without the owner's consent. Typically, this results in the owner instigating eviction proceedings. However, if the landlord accepts a rent payment after the lease has expired, the property is considered to be leased again on a month-to-month basis.
Tenancy at Will
A tenancy-at-will is a type of leasehold that can be terminated at any time by either the owner/landlord or the tenant. The arrangement does not include the signing of a contract or lease and generally does not specify the length of time a tenant will use the rental or any specifics about payment. The agreement is governed under state law, with varying terms based on the state. Federal law is applicable in cases of discrimination.
Leasehold Improvements
After a lease agreement has been finalized, the lessee, or tenant, begins to build out the space for its purposes to the extent allowed by the contract. Work on walls, ceilings, floor space, lighting fixtures, additional plumbing fixtures, shelving, and cabinets represent leasehold improvements that are recorded as fixed assets on a company's balance sheet.
Depending on the contract, leasehold improvements might be paid for by the tenant, the landlord, or a combination of both. Some landlords may agree to pay for leasehold improvements in order to entice a new tenant to sign a lease. However, when demand is high for a building or office space, the landlord may not be willing to incur the additional expense for leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements that are permanently affixed to the building often remain the property of the landlord even after the lease ends.
Leasehold improvements are made to the interior of a building; modifications made to the exterior of a building are not considered leasehold improvements.
Example of a Leasehold
Leaseholds are most common for brick-and-mortar retailers. Best Buy Co., Inc. is an example. The company leases a majority of its buildings and makes leasehold improvements that suit its standardized interior functional and aesthetic design. Most of the company's leases contain renewal options and escalation clauses, as well as contingent rents based on specified percentages of revenue, which is a common clause in lease agreements for retailers.
Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis to the end of the initial lease term, and any difference between straight-line expense amounts and rent payable is booked as deferred rent. For some retailers, leasehold improvements are a significant portion of gross property and equipment expenses.
Leasehold Interest
A leasehold interest is a contract in which an individual or entity, or in real estate terms, a lessee, leases a parcel of land from an owner or lessor for a set period of time. The lessee has the exclusive rights to possess and use as an asset or property for the specified period of time. There are four types of leasehold interests, as mentioned above: tenancy for years, periodic tenancy, tenancy at sufferance, and tenancy-at-will.
Leasehold interest most often refers to a ground lease and tends to therefore last for multiple years. For example, an individual might lease a lot from an owner for 40 years and choose to build a property on the grounds. That individual could then rent out the property and earn rental income, but still has to pay the owner for the right to use the lot.
A leasehold interest differs from a freehold interest, or fee simple interest, in which an individual or entity has total ownership over the land or property and can use it in whatever way they see fit.
Leasehold FAQs
What Is a Leasehold Estate?
A leasehold estate is an agreement that a tenant can use an owner's property for a set period of time. The estates are often backed up by contracts or lease agreements that lay out the duration of the rental, the terms and conditions of use, the payment required, and the landlord's obligations to the tenant.
How Do You Depreciate Leasehold Improvements?
The IRS does not allow leasehold improvements to be deducted. However, since improvements are part of the building, they are subject to depreciation. Leasehold improvement depreciation should follow a 15-year schedule that has to be re-evaluated each year based on its useful economic life.
Which Type of Leasehold Has a Definite Beginning and Ending Date?
A tenancy for years, in which the contract is specified, including a clear beginning and ending date.
The Bottom Line
A leasehold is an asset being leased, such as a building or unit in a building. A renter makes a contract with the owner or landlord to use the property in question, in exchange for a series of payments over the duration of the lease. A commercial leasehold involves renting space for the purpose of operating a store, doctor's office or other business, and a residential leasehold is for a property to be occupied for personal use.


text: Timely access to quality healthcare has become an increasingly important public health concern over the years. Early diagnosis of cancer is a fundamental goal in oncology because it allows an opportunity for timely treatment while disease burden is still in its earliest stages. Consequently, prognosis may improve, and a cure can be attained with minimal side or late effects. This review examined delays present in diagnosis of childhood cancers and factors that influence these delays. An extensive search of the literature published before April 15, 2007 was conducted for studies that evaluated any type of delay along the cancer-care continuum. Twenty-three studies were included. Diagnosis delay varied across studies. Physician delays were generally longer than those consequent to parents' or patients' recognition of underlying disease. Causes of delays can be grouped into 3 categories: patient and/or parent, disease, and healthcare. The main factors related to diagnosis delay were the child's age at diagnosis, parent level of education, type of cancer, presentation of symptoms, tumor site, cancer stage, and first medical specialty consulted. Greater understanding of factors that influence delays and the individual impact of patient and provider delays on disease severity and prognosis would be useful to form effective policies and programs aimed at ensuring timely access to healthcare for children with cancer.

By Sascha O. Becker and Ludger Wößmann. Reading for Tuesday, 10 April 2007.
Max Weber attributed the higher economic prosperity of Protestant regions to a Protestant work ethic. We provide an alternative theory, where Protestant economies prospered because instruction in reading the Bible generated the human capital crucial to economic prosperity. County-level data from late 19th-century Prussia reveal that Protestantism was indeed associated not only with higher economic prosperity, but also with better education. We find that Protestants' higher literacy can account for the whole gap in economic prosperity. Results hold when we exploit the initial concentric dispersion of the Reformation to use distance to Wittenberg as an instrument for Protestantism.

(Washington, D.C.) –Today's sentencing of veteran activist Zhu Yufu to seven years for writing a poem deemed to "incite subversion of state power" is further evidence of the Chinese government's continuing repression of anyone it perceives as directly or indirectly criticizing it policies, Amnesty International said.
For many years the Chinese government has stamped on dissent, and today's decision should be seen in the context of a growing demand in the country for more freedom.
Amnesty International condemns this direct and unjustified assault on Zhu Yufu's basic human right to freedom of expression.
"We believe this is a sign that the Chinese leadership is afraid," said Sarah Schafer, Amnesty International's China researcher. "Why else would they sentence someone to seven years in prison for writing a poem? The Chinese government has seen the uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa. It has seen the people coming out in the tens of thousands to protest a repressive regime in Russia. And it has seen the Chinese people themselves grow stronger in their demands for more freedoms and a say over their country's future. And now the leaders at the very top have clearly given out orders that any hint of dissent must be crushed."

What is gender responsive budgeting?
Gender responsive budgeting (GRB) is a tool to assess the impact of government budgets (and other economic policies) on inequalities between women and men in order to promote policies that will lead to greater equality.
It is therefore a tool not only for analysis but for policy change.
It does not mean a specific 'budget for women': reducing inequalities between women and men requires analysis of how all policy affects both women and men. Nor does it mean dividing expenditure equally between women and men, because that doesn't necessarily result in reducing inequalities.
It's not just about "women" and "men". The impact of a policy, whether in social security or another area, is determined not just by gender but also income, ethnicity, disability, age and other factors. Wherever possible and relevant, our analysis should highlight the impact of these factors.
WBG member
GRB looks at budgets to see how they meet the needs of women and men, girls and boys. It can also involve assessing how budgets meet the needs of different groups of women and men, depending on their income, ethnicity, age or whether they live in rural or urban contexts.
GBR includes looking at the impact of economic policy not only on equalities in the paid economy (e.g. income, assets, pay and employment opportunities), but also on inequalities in unpaid work (such as care and domestic work) and other inequalities such as violence against women and girls, participation in decision making and so on.
In some countries local or national governments have adopted gender responsive budgeting policies. In others, such as the UK, civil society organisations have taken the lead in carrying out analysis in order to show government why it is needed and advocate for policy change to reduce inequalities.

Electronic cigarettes (ECIGs) are a relatively new class of tobacco products and a subject of much debate for scientists and policymakers worldwide. Objective data that address the ECIG riskbenefit ratio for individual and public health are needed, and addressing this need requires a multidisciplinary approach that spans several areas of psychology as well as chemistry, toxicant inhalation, and physiology. This multidisciplinary approach would benefit from methods that are reliable, valid, and swift. For this reason, we formed a multidisciplinary team to develop methods that could answer questions about ECIGs and other potential modified risk tobacco products. Our team includes scientists with expertise in psychology (clinical, community, and experimental) and other disciplines, including aerosol research, analytical chemistry, biostatistics, engineering, internal medicine, and public health. The psychologists on our team keep other members focused on factors that influence individual behavior, and other team members keep the psychologists aware of other issues, such as product design. Critically, all team members are willing to extend their interests beyond the boundaries of their discipline to collaborate effectively with the shared goal of producing therigorous science needed to inform empirically based tobacco policy. In addition, our trainees gain valuable knowledge from these collaborations and learn that other disciplines are accessible, exciting, and can enhance their own research. Multidisciplinary work presents challenges: learning other scientists' languages and staying focused on our core mission. Overall, our multidisciplinary team has led to several major findings that inform the scientific, regulatory, and public health communities about ECIGs and their effects.

Nitrogen Handlers
Handler Overview
Core Nitrogen behavior has been broken out into well-defined, pluggable behavior modules called /handlers/. Handlers allow you to easily substitute your own logic for things like session, security, routing, and others. Simply create a module that implements one of the existing behaviors, and register it to call nitrogen:handler/2 between the nitrogen:init_request/2 and nitrogen:run/0 calls found inside the nitrogen_xxx (where xxx is the webserver used, for example'mochiweb', 'yaws', 'cowboy', etc).
For example, let's add custom session and config handlers to our mochiweb install. To do so, let's add our handlers to nitrogen_mochiweb:loop/1:
 loop(Req) ->
 {ok, DocRoot} = application:get_env(mochiweb, document_root),
 RequestBridge = simple_bridge:make_request(mochiweb_request_bridge, Req),
 ResponseBridge = simple_bridge:make_response(mochiweb_response_bridge, {Req, DocRoot}),
 nitrogen:init_request(RequestBridge, ResponseBridge),
 nitrogen:handler(my_config_handler,[]), %% Add custom config handler
 nitrogen:handler(my_session_handler,[]), %% Add custom session handler
It may seem odd to you that we're not specifying which handler we're actually loading, but that's because the nitrogen:handler/2 function determines, based on the behavior() defined within the handler module, which handler it is we're actually loading.
nitrogen:handler(HandlerName, Config)
nitrogen:handler/2 is the way to function to connect your custom handler into Nitrogen's handler system. This function takes two arguments:
 - HandlerName - The name of the module.
 - Config - Any configuration settings for this handler. This variable could be just about anything, a proplist containing API keys or IP addresses of related servers (say for a session handler connected to an external memcache or something.
Common Handler Behavior Arguments
In all of the handler behavior functions are found two particular variables:
 - Config - When a handler is initialized using nitrogen:handler/2, the second argument is Config, which is then passed into each handler function.
 - State - The current state of the handler. Each handler maintains its own state.
The Handlers
Note: The init/2 function is called on each handler in a specific order as defined in wf_context:init_context/2.
In the order they are loaded, here are all the handlers, and their documentation:
Core handlers:
 - Config Handler - Controls how and from where the configuration settings are loaded.
 - Log Handler - Controls the logging system for your Nitrogen app.
 - Process Registry Handler - Controls how processes are tracked. The default backend for the process registry is nprocreg.
 - Crash Handler - Controls how to handle page crashes, including logging and how to present the crash to the user.
 - Query Handler - Controls the how wf:q (and its siblings, wf:qs, wf:mq, etc), functions retrieve their values from the POST, GET, or other methods.
Stateful Handlers
 - Session Handler - Controls how session information and variables are set, stored, and/or distributed.
 - State Handler - Controls how the wf:state functions store and retrieve their values. The default uses a simple proplist.
 - Identity Handler - Controls how the identity of the client is stored and retrieved. This is related to the wf:user functions.
 - Role Handler - Controls how the roles of the client are stored and retrieved. This is related to the wf:role functions.
Handlers that possibly redirect
 - Route Handler - Controls how Nitrogen routes requests to modules or static files.
 - Security Handler - Controls whether or not a user has access to a resource, and if not, should determine what to do with the request.

Vacation Styles, Mental Well-Being and Work Motivation
Keywords:Mental - Wellbeing, Work Motivation, Workcation, Vacation, Gender
AbstractThe aim of the study was to scrutinize the differences in Mental Wellbeing and Work Motivation of corporate employees with respect to their gender and vacation styles, that is, workcation and vacation. The study also assessed the association between employees' work motivation and mental wellbeing. A descriptive study was carried out and the data was drawn from an online survey of 195 employees. The Work Motivation Questionnaire (Agarwal, 2012) and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing scale (Taggart, 2016) were utilized to gather the data. Independent samples t-tests were used to interpret the differences in well-being and work motivation of corporate employees with regards to their gender and vacation styles, workcation and vacation. Correlation and linear regression were both employed to evaluate the link and effect of work motivation on mental wellbeing. The findings indicated that there were no significant differences in wellbeing and work motivation of employees based on their vacation styles. There was a significant difference in the wellbeing of employees with respect to their gender and no significant difference was found in employees' work motivation based on their gender. Work motivation was found to be significantly correlated with mental wellbeing, accounting for 21.3% of the variance in mental wellbeing can be explained by work motivation.

The MyProxy Service gives a means to store proxy certificates for later usage when, for instance, your private key is not at hand.
The procedure to store your proxy certificate exists both as a graphical Java-based tool and via the Globus command-line command.
The Java based GSISSH-Term can use a MyProxy server directly. Alternatively, when using the Globus Toolkit, users can retrieve their proxy certificate by using the Globus command-line.
Grid middleware uses certificates for authenticating and authorizing users. The use of certificates means that separate passwords for each account on each of the target machines are not required: instead, a user just needs to create a single certificate with a single password for their personal key. Then several services can be used with that certificate. For example, one can use gsissh to login to a DEISA machine and run there a GridFTP file transfer session or login to another machine connected to the DEISA network without the need to specify a password.
Personal certificates are obtained from a Certification Authority. Instructions to apply for a certificate usable in the DEISA infrastructure are provided by the Primer. A certificate consists of two parts: a private key and a public certificate. They can be in stored a single 'p12' format file or stored in 'pem' format within two separate files, namely userkey.pem and usercert.pem. Users can convert between these two formats, if necessary, using the openssl command (See DEISA Certificates FAQ). Further, a web browser can import and export p12 files.
The MyProxy service stores proxy certificates, where these certificates can be employed on your behalf without the need to have your private key and certificate files at hand. This is useful, for example, when you are using a computer which you do not normally use. A use case example: a researcher visits an Internet Cafe to check the status of their jobs.
Indeed, it is also best to avoid distributing the private key across several machines, but to keep it safe on your workstation instead. If you wish to run Globus commands on a platform on which you cannot or should not store your private key and/or certificates, then you can retrieve your proxy certificate stored at a MyProxy service. A use case example: A researcher needs to use ssh to login to a machine. On target machine they need to use Globus commands. Due to either security or practical reasons there is no private key stored on the target machine. So, the user can use Globus commands to fetch proxy certificate from a MyProxy server.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of adherence to antipsychotic prescription medication in a well-defined homeless cohort over a 15-year period. We hypothesized that adherence would be well below the recommended threshold for clinical effectiveness (80 %), and that it would be strongly associated with modifiable risk factors in the social environment in which homeless people live.Linked baseline data (including comprehensive population-level administrative prescription records) were examined in a subpopulation of participants from two pragmatic-randomized trials that investigated Housing First for homeless and mentally ill adults. Adherence to antipsychotic medication was operationalized using the medication possession ratio. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate effect sizes between socio-demographic, homelessness-related and illness factors, and medication possession ratio.Among the 290 participants who met inclusion criteria for the current analysis, adherence to antipsychotic prescription was significantly associated with: history of psychiatric hospitalization; receipt of primary medical services; long-acting injectable antipsychotic formulations; and duration of homelessness. Mean medication possession ratio in the pre-randomization period was 0.41. Socio-demographic characteristics previously correlated with antipsychotic non-adherence were not significantly related to medication possession ratio.This is the first study to quantify the very low level of adherence to antipsychotic medication among homeless people over an extended observation period of 15 years. Each of the four factors found to be significantly associated with adherence presents opportunities for intervention. Strategies to end homelessness for this population may represent the greatest opportunity to improve adherence to antipsychotic medication.
