Spin and Gradient Echoes
This unit discusses the basic concept of an echo. The phase of the spins plays the fundamental role in this process. A general description as to how an echo occurs is followed by a discussion on both spin echoes and gradient echoes.

What is this thing?
This is a program designed for windows that allows specified sub-commands to be executed in a different process tree.
For example, if you are running a process that calls regsvr32, the normal execution will look like this:
cmd.exe - process.exe | - regsvr32.exe
With command-decoupler, it will look like this
cmd.exe - command-decoupler.exe | - process.exe | - regsvr32.exe
This program, in most situations, is completely useless. My use-case for this was spurred on by a bug in HPE's Fortify which caused some sub processes be behave incorrectly when wrapped by it's sourceanalyzer command. Full blogpost is here.
For example, if I had a C++ project that was configured to register a COM or OCX object, the following would fail:
sourceanalyzer.exe -b myid msbuild myproject\myproject.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=Win32
The process tree looks something like this:
cmd.exe - sourceanalyzer.exe | - msbuild | - regsvr32.exe (Fails to load OCX)
Using the command-decoupler to move the regsvr32 command to the outside of the Fortify process tree mysteriously works fine. The process tree would instead look like this:
cmd.exe - command-decoupler.exe | - sourceanalyzer.exe | | | - msbuild.exe - regsvr32.exe
Ok... How does this work?
Command-decoupler performs the following actions:
- Creates a named pipe, and starts a goroutine to monitor it for execution requests.
- For each -cmd specified, it creates a copy of itself with that name and places it into a temp folder (overridable by -path)
- It adds the temp folder (or folder specified by -path) to the PATH env var
- It starts the specified subcommand
- Any time the subcommand calls one of the masqerading binaries, that binary will send the parameters over the named pipe for execution, and the results will be sent back
- the command masqueraders can't correctly report the exact return code, it just returns 0 or 1
- it does not properly split out STDERR and STDOUT
- there have been situations where the temp dir isn't removed, and can cause collisions on subsequent executions
- it can't be executed in parallel with itself since the named pipe path is hardcoded

Session hijacking usually requires XSS vulnerability (or MITM attack). But what to do when there is none? Of course, we might trick the user with UI Redressing!
Yesterday I presented a new way to trigger content extraction. Being UI redressing vector, it requires user intervention, this time tricking user to copy & paste some text through his clipboard to solve a kind of CAPTCHA challenge. Today we'll make a real life example of using this method.
RequirementsFake captcha has some advantages over 'drag & drop hidden page source', however attacker has to:
- find a page with certain CAPTCHA-like text
- the text had to be at exact line / column position in HTML source
- the page source had to contain something relevant for further attack (user id, session id, password text etc.)
- only one line could get copied/pasted
Looks too limiting?
Let's make this easier
We might be able to meet the requirements, when we consider this:
- CAPTCHA might be reflected (the attacker controls the URL to display) - so e.g. search results page would be a good candidate
- if attacker is able to store anything on the target domain (e.g. his profile data on a social network site), maybe he can direct the user to the page with that data?
- CAPTCHA might be e.g. account id for Google Analytics or other services website is using
- sometimes websites compress the HTML source to conserve bandwidth, stripping all whitespaces, including newlines. So all the web page is on a single line - no line positioning and attacker gets full HTML source in the clipboard!
Think big!UI redressing requires user intervention, and that is its weak point. After all, users might not use the clipboard, might just ignore the trap set for them etc.
Sometimes just a single user tricked is enough, but usually attacker needs several victims. The bigger the site, the better (more potential victims). What if you have a pretty big target? Is Alexa top 200 enough? Let's see. Let me introduce:
Imgur.com session hijacking
This is an example of using the fake captcha content extraction to hijack the session of logged in imgur.com user.
What is happening:
- Exploit detects if user runs Firefox (the only vulnerable browser) and if he is logged in to imgur.com (with iframe scrolling position method). If not - it aborts.
- Fake form is displayed. One of the fields, the'security code' is actually part of Google AdSense used by imgur:
- At http://imgur.com?flash this code is always (at least for a few days) at the same HTML position (at least for Firefox). There were differences for other pages
- http://imgur.com?flash also has some nice content:
 This UPLOAD_IDENTIFIER is a session cookie value :) Remember, imgur - Using httpOnly cookies only makes sense if you don't repeat them in HTML!
- To make the exploit easy, I used the API reachable at api.imgur.com that has the nice feature of letting me authenticate with simply passing the cookie from main site.


Segisaurus is an Early Jurassic meat-eater that seemed adapted for life in a dry, sandy environment. Though all early dinosaur predators had evolved to be quicker than the animals they replaced, scientists believe Segisaurus has features that made it extra fast.
The North American landscape where Segisaurus lived was very arid and sandy. This little dinosaur seemed to have features that would have made it well adapted to squatting down and sitting out a sandstorm. With only post-cranial remains, the exact look of this dinosaur is unknown.[1]
Wikipedia has a more detailed and comprehensive article on Segisaurus
Segisaurus map icon.
A Segisaurus' icon was located on a map of the Jurassic Park brochure, but the animal was never seen on-screen. On the map, the Segisaurus enclosure is located at the far southern end of the island where the tourist route does not connect. However, it is unknown if this enclosure was ever constructed.[2][3] Segisaurus was planned to be an attraction in Jurassic Park, with 48% of its genome being completed,[4] but sadly, this had to be put on hold due to the Isla Nublar Incident of 1993.
It is unknown what happened to the Segisaurus populations in 2018, but it is known that Segisaurus was subject to cruelty at some point in the past.[5]
 - The map logo of the Segisaurus features a skull. However, the only known Segisaurus skeleton does not have a skull.[6]
 - Segisaurus appeared on the Jurassic Park Institute website, in the Dinopedia section. The picture in the entry, and shown in the infobox on this page, is the only image of the Segisaurus in the entire franchise.

Meaning of Ambivalent
By | January 15, 2021
Ambivalent is a concept associated with ambivalence (the particularity of what can be interpreted in contradictory ways with each other). For psychology, ambivalence is a state of mind in which opposite emotions coexist.
According to DigoPaul, the ambivalent exists from the notion of valence, which can be understood as interest or rejection towards a certain thing. What produces joy or pleasure has positive valence, while what generates sadness or pain has negative valence.
Ambivalence implies that feelings with positive valence and negative valence co-exist with respect to the same element. The typical example of ambivalence is love-hate: "I feel somewhat ambivalent about Maria: I am fascinated by her and I think I love her but, at the same time, I hate how she treats me when she is with her friends", "The situation generates a ambivalence, since it causes me satisfaction and, at the same time, it causes me pain ".
There are those who recognize different levels of ambivalence: it can be temporary or specific (when someone struggles between eating a bowl of noodles or maintaining a diet, for example), affective (the feelings found about a person) or intellectual (who pronounces simultaneously favor of a proposition and its opposite).
A behavior ambivalent may be linked to a mental disorder such as schizophrenia, the psychosis or obsessive neurosis, but is also associated with certain states accepted as normal, as is the case of jealousy.
In some contexts, a person is considered to be ambivalent when communicating through ambiguous signals, which hinders the social bond: "I do not understand Ariel: on the one hand he tells me that he misses me and on the other he does not call me in a week. He's an ambivalent boy. "
Ambivalent-ambivalent insecure attachment
The relationship that children establish with their parents or those closest adult referents are of vital importance for the development of their affective universe.
If this relationship is based on secure attachment, where the child feels contained and understood, it is likely that in the future he will develop enviable emotional stability; if instead the relationship is one of insecure attachment, the child will feel completely adrift and in the future it will be extremely difficult for him to establish a coherent life line, because of that frustrated relationship.
Insecure attachment occurs when the responses parents present to their children's physical or emotional needs have a certain ambivalence or contradiction; that is, sometimes they respond positively, others negatively, and sometimes they do not respond directly. This creates a great deal of confusion for the child because she does not know when and how her parents will respond to her needs.
The consequence of all this is a deep feeling of abandonment and loneliness, which in turn places him powerless in front of his own existence, losing control; All this leads to great anxiety and manifests itself in strong self-distrust.
These children grow up with a feeling of never being good enough for others to love them and are always aware of the affective signs of their environment; In addition, this experience causes them low self-esteem, which makes them place themselves many steps below their environment.
The first difficulties of this disorder appear when the child enters an environment outside the family, generally the school. In this environment, children manifest clear cognitive and emotional problems; In this last aspect, they will feel the constant need to receive approval for everything they do, they will show possessive attitudes, jealousy and rivalry.
The clearest way to define the fundamental characteristic of this type of attachment is as an intense anxiety to feel loved and the feeling, at the same time, of not being loved that leads them to develop a disturbing concern about the attention or interest they present. the others in front of his person or acts.

What items do people take with them when they flee their homes to retain a feeling of belonging? And how is pride in one's roots reflected through dress?
Things That Matter is a new exhibition about important things and the importance of things: objects of great personal significance that, at the same time, are closely related to the major social issues of today, such as migration and origin.
What happens to your culture when your country disappears?
The objects in Things That Matter come from all over the world and incorporate stories that are equally meaningful in the Dutch context. An example is a woven basket from the Marshall Islands. In the accompanying video Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner relates in the form of a poem why this object is of such importance to her culture and how this culture is on the verge of disappearing: rising sea levels will result in her island being the first to sink below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. The basket on display threatens to become the last tangible remnant of her culture, prompting visitors to the exhibition to reflect on climate change, sustainability and the significance of cultural heritage.
Behind the scenes
This video shows the French-Tunisian 'calligraffiti' artist eL Seed at work in the museum. He created the murals in the pavilion about the beauty of Arabic writing, which is part of the exhibition Things That Matter.
The Things That Matter exhibition is slated to run for five to seven years and has been realised with the aid of the BankGiro Loterij and in collaboration with Museum Catharijneconvent. Photo: David Vroom.

Why is My Light Switch Hot?
If one or more of the light switches in your home are warm or hot to the touch, it's usually a sign there's too much electrical power running through it. There are several reasons why this happens.
When a Light Switch Feels Warm
One of the most common electrical questions we get asked is if it's normal for a light switch to feel warm.
It's perfectly normal for light switches, particularly dimmers, to feel a little warm when the lights are on. The warmth you feel comes from an electrical component called the triac (triode for alternating current) which varies the amount of electricity that passes through to the light fixture. If the dimmer switch is dedicated to a single bulb, or a load of 100 watts or so, you might feel a little heat. Once the load gets above 300 watts, though, it's not unusual for the heat to be more noticeable.
When a Light Switch is Hot
If a light switch is too hot to touch, it's likely a more serious problem. The top three reasons this happens are:
 - The switch is overloaded. Just like wall outlets, light switches are limited in how much power they can handle. Different switches are rated for different power levels and if the switch is overloaded there's a serious risk of fire. The switch should be replaced with one that's designed to handle the amps a fixture requires.
 - The switch is failing. Light switches wear out and when this happens small sparks on the electrical contacts are emitted when the light is turned on or off. Over time, the contacts don't meet properly and electricity flows more freely, creating heat. This, too, is a fire hazard.
 - Faulty or improper wire installation. Even if the wiring was professionally installed, it can become loose or broken due to age. These bad connections can then cause the wiring to spark and generate heat. They can also bottleneck the current flow, which also gives off heat. Faulty wiring should always be replaced by an experienced, licensed electrician.
When to Call For Help
There are electrical problems you can usually fix yourself but, as electrical work can be dangerous, it's almost always recommended to call in a professional. Along with a hot light switch, it's a good idea to call in the pros if:
 - The lights dim when using a major appliance or when the HVAC unit goes on.
 - One socket of an electrical outlet's not working.
 - A light switch doesn't solidly connect in the on or off position.
 - You have an old "fuse" system in your home.
A qualified electrician will also check to make sure your home's electrical panel is able to safely handle powering everything in your home.
Hot light switches in your Jacksonville home can usually be easily and quickly fixed, but you should never ignore the problem as it could indicate a bigger electrical issue.

Downy Birch
Betula pubescens
Downy Birch is a hardy, light demanding, pioneer tree species important in upland woodlands. It is closely related to Silver Birch, but considered to be more suited to wet and upland sites. Birch can be difficult to establish and our cell-grown trees give the best chance of good survival.
Although Birch is mostly used in native woodlands, there has been increasing interest in using Downy and Silver Birch as timber as firewood due to its rapid growth on ground where few other broadleaved trees would grow. This can be a good option and is why Birch is considered to be a good, multi-purpose tree. Given good conditions, Downy Birch grows to 80ft (24m).

Keil and Delitzsch commented,
The meaning therefore is, "We saw Him, and there was nothing in His appearance to make us desire Him, or feel attracted by Him."
Furthermore, there are some who interpret Isa. 50:6 as referring to the Lord Jesus Christ.
If this is indeed about the Lord Jesus Christ, we may assume he had a beard.

It is probably inaccurate to portray Christ as caucasian as he was a middle easterner. Further, it was said of him, "There was nothing to draw us to him" (Isa.) and that he appeared as "the carpenter's son." Both of these imply that he was not remarkably different from his compatriots.
On the other hand, some would point out that the Shroud of Turin does have a good deal more "European" appearance than the one those who have created an amalgamation have portrayed.

On Error Gosub
The ON ERROR statement has been augmented to support GOSUB in addition to GOTO and SYSTEM. This is a very important feature because it permits multiple nested error processes and ON FKEY GOSUB label-reference. Programmers are no longer limited to the simple RETRY or CONTINUE to return from an interrupt.
- The keyboard buffer is cleared by ON error GOSUB interrupts.
- By default, BR checks for Fkey interrupts every eight statements. Use the BREAK configuration statement to vary this.
- If an ON FKEY GOSUB / GOTO statement catches an interrupt during a SLEEP operation the Sleep is immediately terminated. In the case of GOSUB, a RETURN resumes with the clause following the Sleep.


to the operator log used to be controlled by setting the logicals GTM_TPRESTART_LOG_START and GTM_TPRESTART_LOG_DELTA appropriately. This stopped working in V50000D onwards and used to cause any restarting process to ACCVIO if the above logicals were defined. This is now fixed to work as it used to. [OpenVMS] (C9H03-002829)
 - [V5.2-000A] GT.M now protects against inappropriately long resource waits which could cause brief moments of degraded performance. [OpenVMS] (C9H03-002830)
 - [V5.2-000A]GT.M no longer issues a GTMASSERT in the very rare case that a process uses the DAL call to disconnect all databases and then terminates due to a forced exit or an error before successfully [re-]opening any database.[OpenVMS] (C9H03-002833)
 - [V5.2-000A] SET of global variables within a parenthesized list of targets where the global references use extended syntax containing one or more local variables now occurs properly when the local variables are defined or gives an appropriate UNDEF error when a local variable is undefined. In previous versions, even when the local variables were all defined, it used to give a message that did not specify the variable name (HPUX/AIX) or a segmentation fault (SIG-11). [Linux/Tru64/Solaris/AlphaVMS] (S9C08-002197)
 - [V5.2-000A] Output-only parameters of type char * and string * without pre-allocation now trigger the ZCNOPREALLOUTPAR error. Also see C9F09-002753.[UNIX] (S9C10-002243)
 Note that this change makes V5.2-000A not backward compatible for programs that use this feature. Although GT.M is normally fastidious with respect to maintaining backward compatibility, improvements in performance and robustness were judged to warrant an exception in this case.
 - [V5.2-000A] The pattern match operator no longer causes a process to hang if the pattern following the question-mark (?) is a string literal more than 6 characters long and the repetition count consists of a period (.) with no leading and trailing integer literals. (S9F01-002526)
 - [V5.2-000A] Unrecognized Intrinsic Functions and Intrinsic Special Variables and unrecognized deviceparameter constructions that are bypassed due to FALSE postconditionals no longer cause run-time errors. The error messages affected by this change are INVFCN, INVSVN, FNOTONSYS, SVNOSET, SVNONEW, DEVPARINAP, DEVPARUNK, DEVPARVALREQ. These errors still trigger error reports at compile time—for example "SET:0 $ZZZZ=1" continues to generate a compilation error— but no longer generates a run-time error. (S9F10-002572)
 - [V5.2-000A] Extensive testing validates that two argument $STACK() and ZSHOW "S" work properly. If $ECODE is null then the two argument $STACK() returns the same result as ZSHOW "S". The result differs only when $ECODE contains error information. Fidelity recommends applications reset $ECODE in their error handlers before restoring the normal flow of control. (S9F12-002579)
 - READ X:0 now leaves $TEST set in case the only character READ is a terminator. (S9F12-002582)
 - Certain cases of an untimed OPEN of the TCP device that would cause the process to spin in a tight loop no longer do so.(S9G09-002625)
 - READ *X:now properly times out when the timeout is greater than 8 seconds. [Linux] (S9G11-002628)
 - [V5.2-000A] $zgetjpi("","INVALID ARG") now produces the BADJPIPARAM error rather than a segmentation fault (SIG-11). (S9G12-002632) [UNIX]
 - [V5.2-000A] Pre-allocation of xc_string_t is now allowed and is required for output-only parameters on external calls. Also see S9C10-002243. (S9G12-002634, C9F09-002753) [UNIX]
 - [V5.2-000A] ZSHOW "V" or ZWR when variables with "long" content no longer give a segmentation fault (SIG-11). This was fixed in V5.2-000 but the fix was not documented. (S9G12-002635)
 - [V5.2-000A] $ZB now contains the correct value after a READ *. In particular, $ZB holds the full escape sequence after entry of an escape sequence when ESCAPE processing enabled. This was broken in GT.M V5.2-000. [AIX/Solaris/HPUX] (S9H02-002642)
 - [V5.2-000A] Exponents greater than 18 digits no longer result in a numeric evaluation of 0; for example in previous versions, WRITE +"1E12234567890123456789" produced 0. (S9F11-002573)
 - [V5.2-000A]The GT.M utilities and the mumps commands now use a space-dash (" –")combination to delimit/introduce a qualifier, which is standard UNIX usage, where they used to require only a dash ("-", which was not standard).
 This will cause existing shell scripts that use the idiosyncratic dash-only form to break – they can be fixed by adding one or more spaces in front of any dash.
 This change allows the use of dashes in argument and qualifier values. [UNIX] (C9B04-001681)
 - [V5.2-000A] $ORDER() now returns the correct value even if the optional second argument is specified and contains a global reference. In such cases, previous versions used to perform the $ORDER() operation on the global reference in the second argument instead of the first.
 $REFERENCE is now set properly after a $ORDER() operation involving a global reference in the first or second argument. Previous versions used to set this incorrectly. For example $ORDER(^x(1)) used to incorrectly set $REFERENCE to ^x(1.00) instead of ^x(1). (C9B10-001744)
 - [V5.2-000A] $ORDER() now returns the correct value where the second argument is an extrinsic function that manipulates the first argument. In such cases, previous versions could give an incorrect result. For example, $ORDER(V(2,-1),$$ABC) where the extrinsic $$ABC() sets the node V(2,2) to 1 and quits with a value of 1 now returns a result of 2 where it used to incorrectly return a null string (""). Substituting ^V for V in the example demonstrates the change for global references. (C9B10-001765)
 - [V5.2-000A] $GET() with two arguments where both the arguments contain global references now sets the naked indicator correctly to the last global reference in the second argument. In cases where the first argument had a value, previous versions used to incorrectly set the naked indicator to that first argument. (C9B10-001767)
 - [V5.2-000A] The processing of SET commands with multiple targets and $Piece() / $Extract() now complies better with the M standard.
 GT.M now allows the $PIECE() and $EXTRACT functions as targets in a SET command that has a parenthesized, comma-separated list of targets. Previous versions disallowed this usage.
 When SET arguments have multiple parenthesized (set-left) targets and a target is used as a subscript in more than one item in the list of targets that follow, ALL the targets now use the before-SET value (not the after-SET value) in conformance to the M-standard. Previous versions of GT.M used the before-SET value only for the last such subscripted target item in the list and incorrectly used the after-SET value for all prior subscripted target items. For example, set a=0,(a,array1(a),array2(a))=2 now sets both array1(0) and array2(0) to 2 whereas previous versions of GT.M would set array2(0) to 2 and array1(2) (instead of array1(0)) to 2.
 If a SET target is of the form $PIECE(glvn,d,m,n) or $EXTRACT(glvn,m,n) GT.M now evaluates the right hand side of the Set even when m > n or n < 1. Previous versions of GT.M would not evaluate the right-hand-side of the SET which could result in the naked indicator not being set correctly. For example, set ^x=1,$piece(^a,";",3,2)=^b now correctly sets the naked indicator to point to the global ^b. Previous versions of GT.M set the naked indicator to ^x in this example. (C9C05-002003)
 - GT.M socket devices now allow up to the number

| The Chisel-toothed Kangaroo Rat has chisel-shaped lower incisors, with which it strips the epidermis from the leaves of desert shadscale or saltbush, thereby reaching the palatable and water-rich interior of the leaf. This Kangaroo Rat eats more leaves than seeds, which is unusual for the genus. Its ability to subsist on perennial shrubs gives it an advantage when the climate does not support the growth of herbaceous vegetation. The species is common across the Great Basin of the western United States, and is also known as the Great Basin Kangaroo Rat.

I am trying to bind a variable in this prepared statement, but i keep receiving the error:
Call to a member function bind_param() on a non-object
//CALL FROM PAGE ONE
//FUNCTION ON PAGE 2
$DBH = getDBH();
$qSelect = $DBH->prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username =?");
as the error-message says,
$qSelect seems to be not an object. try to debug this by using
var_dump($qSelect); right after your prepare-call. also check if
getDBH() returns what you need.
sounds like the prepare-call fails (don't know why) and so it returns
false is not an object, so you can't call
bind_param() on that.
EDIT: you havn't given the info, but it looks like you're using PHP's PDO. In that case, take a look at the documentation.
If the database server successfully prepares the statement, PDO::prepare() returns a PDOStatement object. If the database server cannot successfully prepare the statement, PDO::prepare() returns FALSE or emits PDOException (depending on error handling).
You should configure your server to return those PDO-Exceptions, which would tell you why the prepare call fails.

Welcome to Laurier Child Language and Math Lab!
In the Child Language and Math Lab at Wilfrid Laurier University, we focus on questions of language and mathematical development. For instance, how does a child learn to talk? How does language facilitate math learning? These are very intriguing questions, and children surely know a great deal about language before they actually talk to us. By observing how our young children listen and respond to language and math stimuli, they can tell us what they really know about language and mathematics. Please look around our website to learn more about what we do and how you can become involved.

Confetti popcorn is fun as a party food or as a snack. This recipe is great because even younger kids can help prepare it; there aren't too many elements that can only be done by adults.
The white chocolate makes the popcorn sweet but not cloyingly so. It's a nice alternative to caramel popcorn if you and the kids still want something sweet. This snack is better suited to winter; hot weather and chocolate will lead to many sticky and messy hands if you're serving it up in summer.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes (plus time to let the chocolate set)
Makes: 1 large bowl of popcorn
Ingredients 1/4 cup of popcorn (unpopped or pre-made)
5 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 bag of white chocolate melts
Hundreds and thousands or sprinkles
If you're using popping corn instead of the pre-made stuff, prepare using the instructions on the packet. Often this involves using about 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil to 1/4 cup of popcorn. Head the oil, and use one kernel to test if it's hot enough. If it pops you're ready to go. Use a tea towel to hold on to the handles and lid of your pot and give it a shake occasionally to make sure nothing burns.
Transfer the popcorn to a bowl or tray. Using a large but shallow tray is best because it allows you to spread the chocolate and 100s and 1000s evenly through the popcorn.
Melt your chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 20 or 30 second intervals. Stir each time. Once the chocolate is smooth, pour it evenly over popcorn.
Once you've stirred the chocolate though, sprinkle 100s and 1000s over the popcorn. Stir it through and then repeat, making sure you don't have layers of popcorn underneath left unsprinkled.
Leave the chocolate to set completely and then break up the popcorn and serve it in a large bowl or in individual popcorn containers.
Making confetti popcorn is even a way to do some fun learning. Take a look at how the corn kernels go from a little seed to popcorn when they're heated in the saucepan, or how the chocolate becomes a liquid once it's melted in the microwave.


text: Many organizations are currently becoming more environmentally friendly. Eco-efficiency maximizes the effectiveness of a business operation while reducing its impact on the environment; with the necessary skills, organizations can create more value while using less input. Prior empirical studies have suggested that firms engaging in eco-efficient activities are better valued than those without such activities. Therefore, this will enhance business efficiency and excellence. This study investigates the link between eco-efficiency, as environmental policy, and firm value in the United Kingdom (UK) for the period 1999 to 2008. We generate new insights into environmental–financial performance by using different definitions of the term 'eco-efficiency'. In the UK context our results support that eco-efficient firms have higher market values than those lacking environmental strategies. Hence, we recommend that firms become involved in environmental polices since the adoption of these polices will have a positive impact on firm value.

Wheat grass are not the type of plants that are attractive to kids. They might even hate it if you force kids to drink fresh wheat grass juice in the morning. If you want kids to have fun with wheat grass, why don't you try some fun crafts for kids with wheat grass?
These wheat grass head men are just an example. Kids will love to have these cute figures on their study table or on the windowsill in their room. Thanks Delia for this nice idea and tutorial.


Venabili uses a nested layers mechanism to not only give you access to all the keys that you might need, but also to distribute them in a way that is the most comfortable and fast to reach, even if means duplicating keys just to have them in different places for different situations.
Defining layers
Layers are defined in the venabili.c file as 4x12 matrices of keys that match the position of the physical switches.
Take a look at the default layer:
Layer l0 =
{ k_tab, k_q, k_w, k_e, k_r, k_t, k_y, k_u, k_i, k_o, k_p, k_hyphen},
{ HLctrl(k_escape), k_a, k_s, k_d, k_f, k_g, k_h, k_j, k_k, k_l, k_semicolon, HRctrl(k_enter)},
{ m_lshift, k_z, k_x, k_c, k_v, k_b, k_n, k_m, k_comma, k_dot, k_slash, m_rshift},
{ m_lsuper, m_lalt, m_ralt, LS(3, k_empty), LS(2, k_empty), LS(1, k_space), k_space, LS(2, k_empty), LS(4, k_empty), m_ralt, m_lalt, m_rsuper},
Each row is inside braces {} and each key is separated by a comma,, these are just normal C arrays.
After you've defined some layers you need to register them with the add_layer(name) function like so:
// Layer l0 =...
// Layer l1 =...
// Layer numbers =...
// Layer symbols =...
Each layer you register will acquire an identifier that increments from 0.
Once you're happy with your layers, make sure to set the N_LAYERS number in the config.h file to match the number of layers you have registered.
Switching between layers
To allow you to switch between layers you need to include Layer Selection keys LS(id, key), where id is the layer number that key will take you to and key is the normal key to be triggered if you press and release the key without using any of the keys inside that layer. A great example of this is:
LS(1, k_space)
This key will put a space if you press it and release it quickly, but will let you access layer number 1 (that is the second layer) if you hold it and press some other key at the same time.
Notice that if the same physical key that has the Layer Selection key in one layer, has some other key in the upper layer, that key will also be pressed as soon as you enter the layer. To avoid this have that key to be k_empty in the upper layer like so:
Layer l0 =
{ LS(1, k_space),... },
//...
Layer l1 =
{ k_empty,... },
//...
When you enter a layer by holding its Layer Selection key, you will go back to the default layer (the very first layer that you declared) as soon as you release it. There are however some use case scenarios where you might want to stay in a layer without having to hold any key.
For instance, this is useful if you define a layer that has hotkeys for some sort of editing software or video game in the left half of the keyboard, allowing you to use any keyboard shortcut you might need while holding the mouse with your right hand.
You can achieve this by having a Layer Lock key inside the target layer:
Layer l1 =
{ c_layer_lock,... },
//...
This way if you hold your LS(1, k_space) key in layer 0 and then press the your c_layer_lock key that is inside layer 1 the keyboard will stay in layer 1 when you release all the keys.
Now you can use any other key you have in layer 1 without having to keep holding some other key at the same time.
To release the lock just press your Layer Lock key once again and you'll be back to the default layer.


California Grocers' Action during Labor Dispute Violated Antitrust Law
August 18, 2010 ( – The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that an agreement between California grocers to share profits during a union strike violated federal antitrust law.
The grocers contended that the precompetitive benefit of their agreement is that it increased their chances of winning the labor dispute and reducing the wages and benefits they would be required to pay to their employees, which in turn would increase their ability to lower prices and compete more effectively with other companies. They also said that because their agreement was entered into in anticipation of a labor dispute, and constitutes part of their method of dealing with such a dispute, it is excused from the application of the antitrust laws by virtue of the nonstatutory labor exemption.
The appellate court agreed that where the conduct at issue plays such a traditional role in collective bargaining, an exemption from the antitrust laws is appropriate. However, it found that defendants' profit-sharing conduct has not traditionally been regulated under labor law principles, nor does it raise issues either on its face or in its practical implementation that are suitable for resolution as a matter of labor law, by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), or by the courts that review or implement Board rulings.
According to the court, there is no well-defined set of NLRB rules or principles that would govern the circumstances in which such conduct would be permissible, and the conduct does not involve any mandatory subject of collective bargaining. Most importantly, the court said, profit sharing is not "needed to make the collective bargaining process work." To the contrary, collective bargaining has worked and does work quite well from the standpoint of employers without the need to engage in such basic violations of the antitrust system.
The court found the agreement's effect is necessarily anticompetitive, and, like any other profit-sharing agreement of limited duration among firms that control less than 100% of the market, the anticompetitive effects might be reduced to some extent but they certainly would not be eliminated. In addition, the court said driving down compensation to workers is not a benefit to consumers cognizable under our laws as a "procompetitive" benefit.
"Depressing wages is not of societal benefit; it simply harms working people and their families," the court said.
It concluded: "We see no reason, even if we had the authority to do so, to set aside the ordinary principles governing antitrust law in order to unbalance the carefully developed legal structures relating to our laws governing collective bargaining; nor do we see any reason or justification for assuming the function of increasing the economic power of employers to the disadvantage of their employees."
According to the opinion, the three largest supermarket chains in Southern California, Ralphs, Albertson's and Vons, along with Food 4 Less, agreed to share profits amongst themselves during the indeterminate term of, and for a short period after, an anticipated labor dispute. California filed a lawsuit against the grocers, alleging that by entering into the profit sharing agreement, defendants had engaged in an unlawful combination and conspiracy in restraint of interstate trade and commerce in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act.
The 9th Circuit's opinion is here.

Cultures about to be lost are still being found. The new language discovered in India, Koro, leaves more questions than answers. From Discovery News:
A team of linguists announced Tuesday that they have discovered a new and unique language, called Koro, in northeastern India, but immediately warned that it was highly endangered.
Only around 800 people are believed to speak the Tibeto-Burman language, and few of them are under the age of 20, according to the researchers who discovered Koro during an expedition as part of National Geographic's "Enduring Voices" project.
The language, they said, has never been written down.

Equal Credit Opportunity Act - ECOA
DEFINITION of 'Equal Credit Opportunity Act - ECOA'
A regulation created by the U.S. government that aims to give all legal individuals an equal opportunity to apply for loans from financial institutions and other loan granting organizations. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) states that individuals cannot be discriminated upon via factors that are not directly related to their creditworthiness. It prohibits creditors and lenders from considering a consumer's race, color, national origin, sex, religion or marital status in deciding whether to approve their loan or credit application. Financial institutions also cannot deny credit based on age, as long as the applicant is of legal age and has the mental capacity to enter into a contract, nor can they deny credit because the applicant is receiving public assistance.
BREAKING DOWN 'Equal Credit Opportunity Act - ECOA'
When you apply for a mortgage, the lender will ask you about some of these facts under federal requirements that are supposed to help prevent discrimination, but you are not required to respond. The only accepted factors that can be used to determine whether or not an individual is acceptable for a loan are relevant financially related information such as one's credit score, income and existing debt load.
Another aspect of the ECOA allows each spouse in a marriage to have his or her own credit history in his or her own name. That being said, if you have any joint accounts with your spouse, these accounts will appear on both of your credit reports, so your spouse's financial behavior can still have a positive or negative impact on your credit score.
While the ECOA prohibits lenders from basing their decisions on your marital status, some loans, such as mortgages, might require you to disclose that you are making required alimony or child support payments. And if you receive child support or alimony and it represents a significant source of your income, you might need to disclose it in order to qualify for a loan. You could be denied a loan if, for example, your child support payments combined with your other financial obligations mean that you don't have enough money to repay the loan as required. You cannot be denied a loan simply because you are divorced, though.
Organizations found in violation of this act could potentially face class-action suits. If found guilty, the offending organization could have to pay out punitive damages totaling up the lesser of $500,000 or 1% of the creditor's net worth.

Contiguous Cache Example
QVariant RandomListModel::data(const QModelIndex &index, int role) const
 if (role!= Qt::DisplayRole)
 return QVariant();
 int row = index.row();
 if (row > m_rows.lastIndex()) {
 if (row - m_rows.lastIndex() > lookAhead)
 else while (row > m_rows.lastIndex())
 } else if (row < m_rows.firstIndex()) {
 if (m_rows.firstIndex() - row > lookAhead)
 else while (row < m_rows.firstIndex())
void RandomListModel::cacheRows(int from, int to) const
 m_rows.insert(i, fetchRow(i));
while (row > m_rows.lastIndex())
while (row < m_rows.firstIndex())
And thats it. A perfectly reasonable cache, using minimal memory for a very large list. In this case the accessor for getting the words into the cache generates random information rather than fixed information. This allows you to see how the cache range is kept for a local number of rows when running the example.
QString RandomListModel::fetchRow(int position) const
 return QString::number(rand() % ++position);
It is also worth considering pre-fetching items into the cache outside of the application's paint routine. This can be done either with a separate thread or using a QTimer to incrementally expand the range of the cache prior to rows being requested out of the current cache range.


11-Step Checklist for your SaaS Product Launch
Saas Product launch checklist
Jump Ahead
To ensure that all is in order, it is best to place the launch list in a prioritized form. It can be daunting, however, to launch a new product. But being part of the market would be extremely simple with the right SaaS launch checklist.
50% of businesses rely on SaaS products to sustain their tasks.
So here's a detailed checklist for your product announcements and product launches without further ado.
1. Define Buyer Persona
It is important to learn about what drives your customer, whether you call it "market analysis," or "customer growth." Identifying their goals, motives, and pain points may lead you to create a valuable solution and market it.
To get the most out of your leads, start by asking these questions,
 - What would your product be used by this individual?
 - Can they use your product to manage projects, boost ticketing support, or communicate?
 - What user problems that the product can solve?
 - What is delivered to your audience by your product?
You can build a buyer persona that your team can concentrate on serving once you understand these key points about your customers.
2. Set up Mission Statement
The positioning statement should not be static. Make sure that as your company matures and products evolve, your statement offers space for growth.
 - How your business will meet its needs?
 - What separates your product or service from the competition?
 - Why should customers in your target market believe the claims of your brand?
3. Pitch your Stakeholders
Once you've established your position statement, present it to stakeholders.
To work on the launch and build a buzz, each team member will need to reserve their time.
If it's loved by your team, it could be a strong sign that the product launch is going to go well.
4. Plan your Marketing Strategy
A poorly designed go-to-market strategy could cause your project to flop even though you put significant amounts of effort, time, money, and resources into creating a new product or service.
As you build the plan, you also begin to consider which form of content you can use during the awareness, consideration and purchase decision stage to attract the attention of a potential customer.
In the next step, you'll need to produce this content.
Another Best Practise to Market your SaaS Product
Once you complete all the above steps, you can launch the product.
Still not sure how to help your product make a big splash. If you're looking for more insights about launching a SaaS product. Few more tips to take care of the launching.
5. Test your Product thoroughly
Releasing a solid first version of your product is one of the best ways to attract your target audience. There are multiple ways of doing this. First of all, test your product with your team thoroughly and repair any loose ends.
Many entrepreneurs create a launch page with a signup form to gather beta users, even before they start working on their product. They set time aside to promote their launch page via email, social media, and other channels as they develop their product. It will mean that you have a decent beta user list waiting for your product to be tested.
6. Release Beta version
It might be tempting to charge your clients when you launch a product. After all, paying customers is the best way to validate your product.
If you do a great job, your fans will bring people in for you, and money will naturally follow.
Instead, Release your SaaS product as a beta version and specify that during the beta phase (3-4 months), it will be free. This will give you enough time to validate your idea, as well as set up the payment module.
7. Set a framework for feedback
It will invariably have a few bugs and lack a few features when you launch your product. The key is to build a framework for communication that not only encourages users to give you feedback but also helps you to easily compile, evaluate, and act on it.
8. Develop a Long-time Blog Strategy
Blogging is a great way for your SaaS start-up to increase visibility and build industry authority. To share your thoughts and ideas with a wider audience, including those outside your social network, you can leverage it.
You can also think about your target audience's pain points and offer ideas through your posts.
According to HubSpot, 67% more leads are created by B2B companies that blog than those that don't.
9. Improve features and functionality consistently
If you push your product live, get suggestions from your audiences to keep your SaaS product evolving constantly. Note down the features and functionalities requested and use them as a reference for designing your SaaS product version 2.
10. Set up Analytics
There are quite a few things you need to do to get your SaaS product off the ground. However, they'll be fruitless if you're unable to measure, analyze, and improve their performance. This will help you understand how users interact with your product and which features they use the most.
Once you start tracking the right metrics, you'll know what to improve and see if your activities are moving the needle. It also helps you to set targets for growth and periodically check your progress.
11. Rebrand if Necessary
Rebranding is necessary when the brand you started out as no longer serves the mission you're going forward with.
Although it can be overwhelming to have to go through a rebrand, a good way to go is always to start with your vision and values at the core, so you can make sure you build a brand that can really evolve with you.
Finally, get suggestions from the team members, customers, and even third party agencies. When you're still trying to keep your business going, it can be difficult to rebrand, so extra sets of eyes and suggestions can be necessary to make sure you build a brand of consistency.
Aim one constant source of traffic. It can be your blog, an marketplace, search traffic or visitors from social media sites. It's fine if they don't come back when you launch your product. The key is to develop a way to keep new visitors coming. Most businesses shut down simply because they're unable to attract enough visitors.
It is a tremendous task to develop a SaaS product, but if you carefully execute the above-mentioned checklists you will eventually be able to launch a SaaS product that quickly gains traction.

21 Jul The CodeBenders
Codebending is the fifth elemental art of bending, specifically, the psychokinetic ability to control and manipulate behavior of machines. The peaceful Zege Clan utilize this type of bending in their everyday lives.
Code is the element of innovation and invention. The Zege clan detached themselves from worldly problems and concerns; finding peace and freedom was the key to solve their flaws in life. Codebenders continually seek for technological enlightenment, and, as a result, all children born into the Zege Clan were innovators. The first codebenders learned their art from the Matrix.
The key to codebending is flexibility and finding and following the path of least resistance though unconventional thought. Codebending is notable for being almost entirely innovative, as well as the most dynamic of all bending arts. Codebenders can overwhelm many opponents at once with large and powerful attacks that could prove fatal; however, due to the pacifist nature of the Zege Clan, such attacks are rarely used. Codebenders seek to create a better balance of life through technology
If you think you are THE ONE, we summon you for your destiny. If you think you know THE ONE, their destiny awaits them!

DataPower: Flushing Stylesheet Cache.
Summary: Why aren't my changes to the stylesheets being picked up by DataPower? Learn about the stylesheet cache in DataPower and what you should do to refresh the cache.
DataPower appliances maintain a cache of the stylesheets that are being used on the appliance for performance reasons. "Although the cache is configurable, disabling the cache might degrade performance. DataPower caches compiled stylesheets and if the cache is disabled the stylesheets will have to be compiled every time they are used." - [1]
Ever get into a situation where you have made a change on an imported/included stylesheet on DataPower and when the stylesheet was run, you did not see the changes you made being reflected in the results?
The reason is that DataPower fetches all the content from top level stylesheet with any imported and included stylesheets and after compilation stores it in the cache as one single compiled stylesheet. If you make changes to one of the imported/included stylesheets, DataPower does not detect the change and the recompilation and refreshing the same in the cache is not triggered.
In such scenarios, for the changes to be reflected, you could do two things
 1. You could flush the stylesheet cache. One way of doing this would be to use the WebGUI administrative interface. In the GUI select objects/XML Processing/XML Manager. Select the respective xml manager and to the top right corner you should see option called "Flush Stylesheet Cache".
 2. DataPower: Flush Stylesheet Cache
 3. You could introduce an empty line in the top level xslt and save it. This will trigger recompilation of that top level stylesheet effectively recompiling the imported/included stylesheets also.
 "At compile time all imported and included stylesheets are fetched and the complete compiled top level stylesheet is then cached. You can't see the imports and includes but they are all there under the top stylesheet." – [2]
"Disabling the cache can be performance concern and might not be your goal. When style sheets are not cached, an XSLT compilation is run on every single transaction.
If you need to disable stylesheet caching, create a separate XML Manager for the particular service wherestylesheet caching is not required.
Do not disable stylesheet caching for a widely used XML Manager. For example, do not disable caching on the default XML Manager." – [1]

Ultrastrong topology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In functional analysis, the ultrastrong topology, or σ-strong topology, or strongest topology on the set B(H) of bounded operators on a Hilbert space is the topology defined by the family of seminorms
p_\omega(x) = \omega(x^{*} x)^{1/2}
for positive elements \omega of the predual L_{*}(H) that consists of trace class operators. [1]:68
It was introduced by von Neumann in 1936. [2]
Relation with the strong (operator) topology[edit]
The ultrastrong topology is similar to the strong (operator) topology. For example, on any norm-bounded set the strong operator and ultrastrong topologies are the same. The ultrastrong topology is stronger than the strong operator topology.
One problem with the strong operator topology is that the dual of B(H) with the strong operator topology is "too small". The ultrastrong topology fixes this problem: the dual is the full predual B*(H) of all trace class operators. In general the ultrastrong topology is better than the strong operator topology, but is more complicated to define so people usually use the strong operator topology if they can get away with it.
The ultrastrong topology can be obtained from the strong operator topology as follows. If H1 is a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space then B(H) can be embedded in B(HH1) by tensoring with the identity map on H1. Then the restriction of the strong operator topology on B(HH1) is the ultrastrong topology of B(H). Equivalently, it is given by the family of seminorms
x \mapsto \left( \sum_{n=1}^\infty ||x\xi_n||^2 \right)^{1/2},
where \sum_{n=1}^\infty ||\xi_n||^2 < \infty.[1]:68
The adjoint map is not continuous in the ultrastrong topology. There is another topology called the ultrastrong* topology, which is the weakest topology stronger than the ultrastrong topology such that the adjoint map is continuous.[1]:68

Kenya - the Useful Plants Project
In Kenya, the Useful Plants Project aims to enhance the ex-situ conservation of plants that are beneficial to human wellbeing. Ex-situ conservation involves conserving seeds outside their native habitat and helps to protect plant life for our future.
The project is working closely with local communities to increase their capacity to propagate useful species.
The main objectives of the project in Kenya are to:
- identify the most useful plant species for conservation
- conserve these important plants ex-situ
- carry out research in order to support the conservation and sustainable use of selected useful species
- enhance the capacity of Government of Kenya (GoK) agencies and local growers to cultivate target species
Activities in Kenya
Through literature review and ethnobotanical surveys, investigating the use of plants within community groups, the project team have identified the most useful plant species.
Four nurseries have been selected for enhancement. They have been surveyed to discover which useful species were already propagated by the local people, identify those with propagation problems and highlight plants of particular interest.
The UPP team is running workshops in the communities to educate local people about the importance of conserving useful species and preserving local knowledge. Training is provided and teaches techniques for seed collecting, conservation and propagation, enhancing the ability of the local community to cultivate useful plants.

Tip of the thumb is missing. Clappers or hand wands such as this one were used by dancers who clapped them together. They also had protective significance as the noise produced by clacking the wands together was believed to keep evil spirits away during critical moments such as childbirth or puberty rituals. Their protective power also accompanied the ritual renewal of the king's vigour during the Heb Sed Festival and assisted in the rebirth of a deceased person into the afterlife.

CITARS was an experiment designed to quantitatively evaluate crop identification performance for corn and soybeans in various environments using a well-defined set of automatic data techniques. These techniques differed mainly by the procedure used to obtain signatures from training data (e.g., clustering) and by the method of classification employed (e.g., linear or quadratic decision boundaries and equal or unequal class weights).
Each technique was applied to LANDSAT-1 data acquired over six Indiana and Illinois test sites throughout the growing season in an attempt to recognize and estimate proportions of corn and soybeans using both local and non-local (i.e. extended) training statistics.
As a result of these analyses the significance of factors which contribute to classification performance was determined. In this paper the results of (1) the differences indifferent ADP procedures; (2) the linear vs. quadratic classifier; (3) the use in classification Of prior probability information derived from historic data: (4) differences in local and non-local recognition and the associated use of preprocessing: (5) the use of multitemporal data: (6) the effects Of classification bias and mixed pixels in proportion estimation: (7) the effects of site characteristics including crop, soil, and atmospheric effects: and (8) the effects of crop maturity are presented and discussed.

Design Principles for Promoting Intergroup Empathy in Online Environments
Interdisciplinary Journal of e-Skills and Lifelong Learning • Volume 12 • 2016 • pp. 225-246
This study examined a professional development program designed to support Civics teachers in their efforts to promote empathy among Israeli Jewish students towards Israeli Arabs. The design rationale for the program is that teachers should experience empathic processes themselves before supporting their students in such an endeavor and that meaningful empathic processes can occur online if activities are properly designed. All phases of the program were designed to support teachers to participate as part of an online community of practice. Sixty Jewish teachers participated in two iterations of the design study. Refinements were made in the second iteration to provide teachers with explicit definitions of empathy and specific instructions for reflection. Findings indicate that these changes were reflected in higher degrees of empathic responses among teachers. Teachers also indicated that being a part of an online learning community contributed to the learning process they experienced during the program. We interpret this as a first step in enabling teachers to assist their students to develop a more empathetic approach toward the minority group and conclude with a discussion of recommended design principles for promoting such an approach.

Dynamic Performance Model for Wind Turbine Generators
Prajwal Gautam and Ganesh Kumar Venayagamoorthy
Wind turbine power curves are based on the industry standard IEC 61400-12-1. Power curves are used for planning purposes and estimating total wind power production. Wind velocity are collected and averaged over 10-minute periods. Traditional methods do not explain varying characteristics in wind dynamics where multiple power productions are observed for same wind speed. When the input parameters such as wind speed and wind directions are known and the output parameter wind power are known for an installed wind turbine generation plant, a dynamic computational network such as neural network is used to develop operation model and estimate the wind power generation.

Youkai Drifter
Youkai drifters are sensitive to the happenings of the spirit world, as well as the mysterious youkai who flit between it and the mortal realm. Compared to other rangers, youkai drifters come about their trade not by choice, but by happenstance or inheritance. The gift of spiritual sensitivity is fleetingly rare, after all, and most youkai drifters are inspired to take up their trade after a childhood of fleeing from terrible spirits that only they ever seemed to be able to see. Such rangers are usually found in places where the divide between the world of spirits and the world of mortals is dangerously thin, but they travel anywhere that the fates of mortals and youkai are intertwined.
Ranger Level Feature
3rd Ritual Casting, Spirit Sense
7th Rites of Banishment
11th Rites of the Shikigami
15th Rites of the Sealed Name
Ritual Casting
Starting at 3rd level, you gain the ability to cast purify food and drink and speak with animals, but only as rituals. You gain the ability to cast additional spells as rituals at the levels specified on the following table. If a spell doesn't appear on the ranger spell list, the spell is nonetheless a ranger spell for you.
Ranger Level Spells
3rd purify food and drink, speak with animals
7th beast sense, locate animals or plants
15th speak with plants, water breathing
18th banishment, locate creature
20th seeming, scrying
Spirit Sense
Starting at 3rd level, you become sensitive to the presence and goings-on of youkai. You have a special sense that allows you to perceive youkai that are normally imperceptible, as well as objects and structures related to them. Most aberrations, beasts with magical abilities, celestials, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, giants, and monstrosities are considered youkai, as well as most non-humanoid creatures with the shapechanger tag. This sense doesn't foil magic that renders such creatures invisible, such as invisibility, but it does negate invisibility gained from special traits, such as that of an invisible stalker. You also gain proficiency in the Insight and Perception skills. If you are already proficient in these skills, you add double your proficiency bonus to checks you make with them when used against a youkai.
The GM decides which creatures qualify as youkai for the purpose of this feature, with oni and rakshasa being the most common examples.
Rites of Banishment
Starting at 7th level, you learn secrets that allow you to banish or seal away youkai. You gain the ability to cast banishment and imprisonment, but only as rituals. You can only target youkai, as defined by the spirit sense feature, whose challenge rating or level is equal to or less than your level with these spells. Since the GM has the final say over what creatures qualify as youkai, they also have the final say over what creatures you can banish or imprison with these spells.
When you cast banishment or imprisonment as a ritual, you can choose to target a 10-foot-radius area instead of a creature. If you do, the first youkai to enter that area within the next 10 minutes becomes the target of the spell.
Rites of the Shikigami
At 11th level, you can conduit a ritual that binds a youkai to your service. Choose a youkai that is no larger than Medium and that has a challenge rating of 1/4 or lower. That creature becomes a shikigami companion that accompanies you on your adventures. Add your proficiency bonus to the shikigami's AC, attack rolls, and damage rolls, as well as to any saving throws and skills it is proficient in. Its hit point maximum equals the hit point number in its stat block or four times your ranger level, whichever is higher. Like any creature, it can spend Hit Dice during a short rest oo regain hit points.
The shikigami obeys your commands as best as it can. It takes its turn on your initiative, though it doesn't take an action unless you command it to. On your turn, you can verbally command the shikigami where to move (no action required by you). You can use your action to verbally command it to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage, Dodge, or Help action. Once you have the Extra Action feature, you can make one weapon attack yourself when you command the shikigami to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated or absent, the shikigami acts on its own, focused on protecting you and itself. The shikigami never requires your command to use its reaction, such as when making an opportunity attack.
While traveling through your favored terrain with only the shikigami, you can move stealthily at a normal pace.
If the shikigami dies, you can obtain a new shikigami by spending 8 hours magically bonding with a willing youkai that isn't hostile to you and that meets the requirements.
Rites of the Sealed Name
At 15th level, you are able to perform a ritual that grants you possession over a youkai's name, binding them to your service.
You gain the ability to cast planar binding as a 9th-level, but only as a ritual. You can bind any youkai with this ritual rather than being restricted to celestials, elementals, fey, and fiends only.

How do seahorses die?
Because of their body shape, seahorses are rather inept swimmers and can easily die of exhaustion when caught in storm-roiled seas.
What is the life expectancy of a seahorse?
In the wild, the lined seahorse has a lifespan of one to four years; however, in captivity their lifespan usually reaches the full four years. Four years is the maximum age reported for the species.
What is the longest living seahorse?
ingens has evolved to thrive in the cooler waters of our coast, inhabiting the sea grass beds and calm waters of our bays and estuaries. This seahorse species is the largest and longest lived in the world, with full grown adults measuring 12 inches and living up to six years.
Are seahorses hard to keep alive?
Though unique in their care needs, seahorses are surprisingly easy to keep (and even breed) if they are maintained in the proper type of fish aquarium system, kept with appropriate tankmates, and offered the right kinds of fish food. Most of all, they can be extremely rewarding to observe and care for.
Can seahorses hurt you?
With their slow, gentle demeanors and curlicue tails, seahorses might seem like the most harmless, unassuming creatures under the sea. But they're actually one of the most deadly.
Do seahorses fall in love?
Swimming side by side and holding tails, seahorses engage in a ritual of love that is both fascinating and magical. In the name of love, these animals engage in a spectacular display of courtship. The male may spend days courting his truly beloved as the two swim tail in tail in a harmonious and majestic fashion.
Do seahorses eat their babies?
In fact, some species of seahorse can give birth to more than 1,000 babies at once! That's right, males sometimes eat their own babies. It's tough being a baby seahorse. Of the hundreds of babies that the male gives birth to, only one or two will survive to become adults and have babies of their own.
What happens if a seahorses mate dies?
It's up to the male to carry those eggs until they're ready to be born. It is said that sea horses die of love. Once a mate dies, the other sea horse doesn't take long to die afterwards, since they can't live without one another.
Can you touch a seahorse?
Do not touch seahorses — period Touching, moving or manipulating animals in order to get the perfect image can cause abrasions or even break parts of their body. The researchers suggest that divers (and photographers) keep a minimum distance of 14 inches (36 cm) from seahorses to reduce stress to the animals.
What happens if you touch a seahorse?
Do not touch seahorses — period Seahorses exhibited a strong stress response when they were physically manipulated by photographers. Touching, moving or manipulating animals in order to get the perfect image can cause abrasions or even break parts of their body.
Can males get pregnant?
Is it possible? Yes, it's possible for men to become pregnant and give birth to children of their own. In fact, it's probably a lot more common than you might think.
How long do seahorses usually live in captivity?
The average life span in the wild for a seahorse ranges from 4 to 6 years. It is much less for those in captivity due to stress, poor conditions, and the high risk of disease. You can tell the difference from the males and females by looking at the abdominal area.
What is the lifespan of a seahorse?
Seahorses are small fish with a life span of one to five years. The seahorse life cycle includes males that get pregnant, which is as extreme as it gets for male parental care in the animal kingdom.
What is the average length of a seahorse?
Seahorses range in size from 1.5 to 35.5 cm (0.6 to 14.0 in). They are named for their equine appearance with bent necks and long snouted heads followed by their distinctive trunk and tail.
Why is the Sea Horse threatened?
However, seahorses are considered threatened around the world, largely from over-harvesting for traditional Chinese medicines, unintended capture in fish trawl nets, and the loss of natural habitats such as seagrasses and mangroves.

On the joint eigenvalue distribution for the matrix ensembles with non zero mean
Exact distributions are given for the two-dimensional case when the mean of the off-diagonal element is non-zero. The joint eigenvalue distribution for theN dimensional case, derived using the volume element in the space ofN ×N orthogonal matrices, is checked by rederiving the exact results forN=2. The smooth nature of theN-dimensional joint distribution supports the claim of the method of moments that the single eigenvalue distribution is a smooth function of the ratio of mean-to-mean square deviation.

Summary: Chapter 3
to Separation Logic
c 2009 John C. Reynolds
February 17, 2009
From assertions, we move on to specifications, which describe the behavior
of commands. In this chapter, we will define the syntax and meaning of specifications, give and illustrate inference rules for proving valid specifications,
and define a compact form of proof called an "annotated specification".
Since separation logic has been built upon it, we will review the basics of
Hoare logic. Further descriptions of this logic, including many examples of
proofs, have been given by the author [92, Chapters 1 and 2], [96, Chapters
3 and 4]. A more theoretical view appears in [97, Chapter 8].
The original papers by Hoare [15, 16], as well as earlier work by Naur
and Floyd, are still well worth reading.
3.1 Hoare Triples
For much of these notes, the only kind of specification will be the Hoare triple,
which consists of two assertions surrounding a command. More precisely,
there are two forms of Hoare triple.

What Skills Are Taught in Online Receptionist Classes?
Online receptionist classes teach students to communicate with business professionals, use basic computer applications and perform multiple administrative tasks. Receptionists, secretaries and administrative assistants learn to professionally answer phones, organize business documents and provide quality customer service to clients. Schools offering Administrative Assistant degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
Online receptionist courses are generally offered through certificate degree programs. Students can earn Receptionist Certificates, Office Assistant Certificates or Administrative Assistant Certificates. There are also specialty receptionist programs for medical and legal receptionists. Online courses are ideal for receptionist programs because much of a work receptionist's work is computer-based.
Skills Taught in Online Receptionist Classes
Online courses teach students to work with word processing, spreadsheet and online computer applications. Students learn to create simple business documents like memos or inventory checklists. Because receptionists are often responsible for payroll or financial records, online programs teach students basic business math skills.
Students learn how to properly use office equipment like photocopiers, printers and fax machines. Communication with coworkers and customers is a key aspect of a receptionist's work, so students learn to maximize their written and verbal communication skills. Students also learn basic business principles that allow them to work in many areas of business. Specialty courses in medical or legal administration teach skills in medical and legal terminology, procedures and transcription.
Duties of Receptionists
Receptionists are responsible for recording messages, providing basic contact or business information, clerical organization and administrative scheduling. Using computer applications, receptionists perform data entry and communication tasks. Depending on the type of business, receptionists can be responsible for greeting and assisting customers who visit the office. Receptionists can also be responsible for organizing safety and legal policies, procedures and logbooks.

This research project aims to explore the relationship between national identity, attitudes towards gender roles and medium of instruction in the Kazakhstani context.
This research discusses the violation of the right to education of disabled children in Semipalatinsk in the context of the post-Cold War. The author argues that there was a missed generation of children with disabilities of the 90s, as they did not have or had limited access to education.
The research explores how gender and social inequities are produced by a language in school textbooks on the History of Kazakhstan. Particularly, textbooks in the Kazakh and Russian languages are compared. Using the multimodal approach to discourse analysis, we investigate how texts and images interplay to represent gender for school children.
This study explores the work of local NGOs within the education sector and the contribution education makes towards peacebuilding and social cohesion in Kazakhstan.
The politics of languages in education: issues of access to education and labour market participation of minority ethnic groups in Kazakhstan
This research aims to investigate the influence of different language policies and reforms on educational and the economic situation of minority groups, specifically of Uzbek groups in Kazakhstan since gaining independence.

needed you can perform a dry-run of a chart installation. This will perform a template render over the enclosed chart templates, outputting actual Kubernetes manifests so that you can view exactly what will be installed in the cluster.
To host the newly created chart within a chart repository, you would simply need to create an index chart file, using the following command. And then store both the generated index.yaml file together with the chart archive in a directory that was then served up via a standard web server. The "helm repo index" command will actually perform a recursive directory scan within the provided directory to search for and find all Chart archive files. Any discovered chart archive file will then be written into the resulting index.yaml file which is used at repository search time.
If your chart is hosted and being served, then you could run the following commands to install the chart. If again there are settable values, they can be passed in by using the set parameter, overriding any equivalent values stored in the chart's values.yaml file. Okay, that completes this lesson. In this lesson, I reviewed the process involved in building your own custom Helm Charts. I reviewed the internal chart directory structure and highlighted what each directory and file was responsible for.
Finally, I documented how to package, host, and install a custom chart. Understanding how to create package, and host your own charts will not only aid you with rolling out your own applications into a Kubernetes cluster but will also allow you to share them within your own organization or the wider online community. Okay, close this lesson, and I'll see you shortly in the next one.

Edit Article
Choosing good paint brushes for your art is an important step in gathering your art materials. Here are some guidelines to consider when making your purchases.
 1. 1
 Familiarize yourself with the brushes. Typically, an artist will have many different types of brushes for different techniques and painting methods:
 2. 2
 Familiarize yourself with different hair-types. There are different materials used for brushes:
 - Bristle - usually the cheapest - made from pig hairs. This is a standard brush that you would find often in artists' collections.
 - Synthetic - these can be cheap or expensive and they have a different feel than natural hair brushes.
 - Sable - usually the most expensive - made from various other fine-haired animals, such as sables, weasels, and other rodents.
 3. 3
 Choose a brush that feels good and is well-built:
 4. 4
 Look for sales at art supply stores. If you are a student, be sure to go to stores that honor student discounts. Paying full price for art supplies is rarely wise, as artists are not known for being wealthy.
 5. 5
 Collect together one of each of these brushes and additional sizes of the main workhorse brushes - the flat and the filbert. You may also want a very wide flat brush (like a 2" wide house painting brush) for covering very large areas initially.
 6. 6
 Learn about the different ways each brush can be held and the different ways of making strokes. This knowledge will also come with experimentation, which is clearly the best way to learn. What you are trying to accomplish will generally decide which brush is best for which job.

Don't say: Eat more fats.
This video covers the different types of brushes and uses.
 - Brushes can get quite expensive, so take care of them: don't leave them sitting in water, don't get paint up into the ferrule (the metal part), and wash and dry your brushes thoroughly right after use.
 - Go with what works for you. If a cheaper brush does a better job and feels right, use that instead. You don't always have to have the most expensive items.
