Stationary decoder
In order to switch some light circuits utilizing an old loco decoder I took an old Märklin 6080 decoder and mounted it on a small board that can be plugged into the digital signal and have two independent light circuits plugged into it.
To each output I added a diode to ensure that stray current could not go the wrong way and also a 100µF capacitor to smooth the current out.
I Initially tied both motor outputs together and both function outputs together so that no matter what direction the decoder is in, the outputs will work. However, if the decoder is set to go forward the blue (motor reverse) wire still gets some pulsed output, and if set to go in reverse, the green (motor forward) wire also gets some pulsed output. Since the motor outputs are never off, the capacitor had the effect of maintaining power no matter what direction and speed was set, even at speed step zero! I therefore decided to dedicate this decoder module to reverse-only output. This entailed cutting the gray and green wires. The picture above was taken before that cut.
This means that by default, when the layout is powered up, neither output will be on. This suites me fine for what I intend driving with this decoder.
The motor output produces 17V no matter what speed step is used. (The capacitor effectively removes the pulse modulation. Under load I may see flicker at low speed steps.)
The function output produces 12.3 Volts.
I can now solder lighting circuits onto the gray plugs, each with the appropriate resistor for the LEDs in the circuit and the supply voltage. I just have to pay attention to the polarity since the plugs I had are not polarized and will allow incorrect insertion.
I have already prepared my software for driving any events using a loco decoder and this is what my event definition screen looks like for this decoder:
It will leave the function alone, setting a high speed-step, backwards. After 20 seconds my thunder sound effects will be played.
To switch the function output I define another event as follows
This will switch the function on and leave the speed alone.
Similar events can be defined to switch the outputs off.

The direct long-fiber reinforced thermoplastic (D-LFT) process is a streamlined material processing technique which includes various types of equipment. It is imperative to understand how the process and its operating conditions affect degradation and thermal properties of the processed material for industry applications. This study investigates effects of process stages, extruder temperature, and screw speed on molecular weight and thermal properties of glass fiber reinforced polyamide 6 (PA6) composites throughout the D-LFT process. Viscosity number (VN) measurements, thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses were performed on collected samples. In conclusion, it was found that thermo-oxidative degradation is the main degradation mechanism of the glass fiber reinforced PA6 composites during the D-LFT process. Therefore, minimizing temperature and residence time of the extruders as well as exposure time of plastificate to atmospheric conditions along the conveyer is an effective way to minimize degradation of PA6.

I just learned about the transfer homomorphism, and I am having trouble internalizing it. I am learning from 'A Course in the Theory of Groups', and I was hoping that perhaps someone had a more intuitive explanation of the transfer to supplement the book's construction.

The transfer tries to capture conjugacy in a homomorphism. This is a little hard to do so the definition is a little complicated. I give a simpler to verify definition from Kurzweil–Stelmmacher, then the standard product-of-conjugates formula and its specialization to the center and to a Hall subgroup.
Smoother definition
Kurzweil–Stellmacher gives a slightly nicer definition of the transfer: Let $H \leq G$ be a subgroup of finite index in the group $G$. If $R,S$ are transversals of $H$ in $G$, define $$(R|S) = \prod_{(r,s) \in R \times S \atop Hr = Hs} \overline{ rs^{-1} } \in H/[H,H]$$ Then one easily verifies that $$(R|S)^{-1} = (S|R), \quad (R|S)(S|T) = (R|T), \quad (Rg|Sg) =(R|S), \quad \text{and} \quad (Rg|R) =(Sg|S)$$ (At the moment, I couldn't do the last in my head, but $(Rg|R) = (Rg|Sg) (Sg|S) (S|R) = (Sg|S)$ since the outer factors cancel by the previous properties and the fact that $(R|S)$ lives in an abelian group.)
Hence the map $tr:G \to H/[H,H]: g \mapsto (Rg|R)$ is well-defined (by the last property) and a homomorphism since $$(Rgh|R) = (Rgh|Rh)(Rh|R) =(Rg|R)(Rh|R)$$
Some important properties
For g in G, consider the orbits of $\langle g \rangle$ on the cosets $G/H$. Let them have representatives $g_i \in R$ and size $n_i$. Then $$tr(g) = \prod g_i g^{n_i} g_i^{-1}$$ is a product of conjugates of $g$. In particular, if $g \in Z(G)$, then all the conjugates are the same, so $$tr(g) = g^{[G:H]}, \quad \text{if } g \in Z(G)$$ and a similar formula holds if we consider $tr(g)$ mod the subgroup $$H^* = \langle h^{-1} h^g : h,h^g \in H, g \in G \rangle$$ since modulo this subgroup, all $G$-conjugates are the same: $$tr(g) \equiv g^{[G:H]} \mod H^*, \quad \text{if } g \in H$$
In particular, if $G$ does not sufficiently swirl $H$, that is, if $H^* < H$, and if $\gcd([H:H^*],[G:H])=1$ (for instance if $H$ is Hall or Sylow), then the transfer map restricts to an automorphism of $H/H^*$ and in particular $G$ has a proper normal subgroup $K=\ker(tr)$ such that $H \cap K = H^*$. When $H$ is a Sylow $p$-subgroup, this $H^*$ is called the focal subgroup and is equal to $H \cap [G,G]$.
Notice that $H^* \geq [H,H]$ measures how much extra conjugacy (fusion) $G$ causes in $H$. The transfer allows us to pull $H^*$ back into $G$, and so we get a normal subgroup of $G$ that somehow measures fusion in $H$. Again this is most useful and precise when $H$ is a Hall or Sylow subgroup of $G$.

Other good answers would include the definition from homology of groups, and the definition from character theory. This answer is closest to the material in Robinson, if I recall correctly. – Jack Schmidt Oct 2 '12 at 21:45
There is a way (in my opinion, quite natural) which leads not only to transfer map, but also to the induced representations.

Walking Your Dog: The Benefits of a Harness Over a Collar You Need to Know
Spread the love
Do you wish to walk your dog, but cannot tell whether to keep her on a harness or collar? While each of these tools has unique uses, it is advisable to walk your dog on a harness instead of a collar.
But why do you need to walk your dog on a harness?
Consider the following six benefits of walking your dog on a harness instead of a collar.
Walking Your DogThe Benefits of a Harness Over a Collar You Need to Know
1. A Harness Minimizes Pressure Exerted on Your Dog's Neck
Wondering how? Well, a harness is designed to discourage excessive and forceful pulling. As a result, your dog experiences minimal chances of trauma.
When your dog pulls against her collar vigorously, her neck is subjected to enormous pressure. In turn, your pup could develop breathing complications and dog anxiety. The anxiety may make your canine to pull more which results in a pulling-anxiety vicious cycle.
Especially, a harness is appropriate for brachycephalic dog breeds which are more vulnerable to respiratory health problems.
Walk your pup on a harness to avoid potential long-term physical damage to your dog's spine and neck caused by a collar.
2. A Harness Allows Better Canine Control
Do you wish to control your dog during your walk? You will enjoy the walk more when you are in control of your dog, even if she is big and robust. As expert views suggest, a harness gives you a higher control level when you are walking your dog (1).
If you are inexperienced in walking dogs, a harness is an absolute necessity.
I find it annoying how a collar allows a dog some freedom to resist my control. My dog has once managed to wiggle her way out of her collar and wandered off. Use a harness to avoid such inconvenience.
You will love that the design of a harness forces the dog to face the direction you take. Since a dog harness comes with multiple contact points, the harness offers your canine more security and makes you more confident.
With the best dog harness, even your dog is well-built and energetic is controlled with ease as compared to a collar.
3. A Harness Offers Better Support for Injured Canines
Is your dog either handicapped or injured? Then you need a harness to walk her.
As research reveals, a harness offers greater physical support for your dog when climbing stairs or taking a walk outside.
As the dog owner, take advantage of the multiple contact points to help your dog to recover faster through exercise such as walking outdoors.
The best dog harness should allow you to lift your injured or handicapped dog if she is unable to go over obstacles as you walk. The harness also enables you to lift your dog simultaneously. However, lifting your dog from either the back or front is quite comfy for your canine.
4. A Harness Improves Owner-dog Communication
Do you wish to train your dog a few commands as you take her for a walk? If you do, then consider getting the best dog harness for your canine.
A harness can help you to achieve better communication with your dog. Remember, a typical harness has a minimum of two connection points. This design enables you to influence and promote the desired behavior easily. With a harness, you can communicate desired training commands with ease and convenience (2).
For instance, if you gently lift the dog on the back point of connection of your harness, you will be communicating to the canine that she should slow down. Alternatively, you can rely on the connection at the front to teach a command for direction.
The harness enhances such communication without affecting your dog's breathing, nor does it promote painful pulling. Therefore, the harness makes dog training more enjoyable during walks.
5. A Harness Discourages Tangling
Yes, your dog can tangle if she is on a collar. How? Your dog could be excited, twisting, jumping, or fighting her retractable dog leash. The dog could even possibly tangle you in the leash as well.
If your dog is strong and big enough, she could potentially wrap the retractable dog leash (look at it in the detailed article here.) around your wrist, arms, fingers, or legs. This could result in either a painful pinch or bruise.
Your dog lacks the knowledge of her strength, and could not be understanding the possible danger of tangling. However, with a retractable dog leash that is attached to your dog's harness on the back minimizes chances of tangling and possible injury.
6. A Harness Is Safe and Comfortable for All Dog Sizes
Which size is your canine? Is she huge or small? Well, with the harness, you are not worried about the size of your dog.
Notably, dogs that are muscular and huge are typically very strong. While this is not good, such a dog can be unruly. Notably, a muscular dog who lacks proper training in good retractable dog leash behavior could have pulling tendencies. The harness will be appropriate for such a dog as it discourages pulling.
Alternatively, small breeds of dogs are typically more prone to physical injury owing to their delicate nature. Therefore, a harness is essential in spreading pressure from a single small surface of the dog's neck to the rest of her back and whole body. Dispersing the pressure over an extensive surface area reduces the effect of the pressure on the dog.
However, note that even the best dog harness has its limitations. For instance, the harness should be restricted to use for outdoor walks only. This means that you should take off the harness while at home or as the dog goes to sleep. This minimizes chances of the harness matting or rubbing off your dog's fur which could irritate your dog's skin. The harness could also be annoying to your canine.
Do you have more reasons for using a harness over a collar on your dog as you walk her outside?

This standard was last reviewed* in 2008.
ISO/IEC 21000 (MPEG-21) defines an open framework for multimedia delivery and consumption, with both the content creator and content consumer as focal points. The vision for MPEG-21 is to define a multimedia framework to enable transparent and augmented use of multimedia resources across a wide range of networks and devices used by different communities.
The basic architectural concept in MPEG-21 is the Digital Item. Digital Items are structured digital objects, including a standard representation and identification, and metadata. They are the basic unit of transaction in the MPEG-21 framework. Many MPEG-21 applications have the requirement to uniquely identify Digital Items.
ISO/IEC 21000-3:2003 provides a simple but flexible mechanism to:
- Uniquely identify Digital Items and parts thereof (including resources);
- Uniquely identify IP related to the Digital Items (and parts thereof), for example abstractions;
- Uniquely identify Description Schemes;
- Use identifiers to link Digital Items with related information such as descriptive metadata (non-normative).
The DII specification does not specify new identification systems for the content elements for which identification and description schemes already exist and are in use.
Identifiers covered by this specification can be associated with Digital Items by including them in a specific place in the Digital Item Declaration (ISO/IEC 21000-2).

Edolas (エドラス Edorasu) is a universe parallel to Earth Land.
Edolas is a universe parallel to Earth Land. It is home to the Kingdom which rose to rule over the entire planet, and the capital located in the eastern part of a continent which share the same name.
Magic in Edolas
Unlike Earth Land, Magic in Edolas is not stored within a person's body, but rather in Magic objects, often in the form of Lacrima, which can be imbued into items to grant them specific magical function. The output of the magical item is limited to how it is used. Natsu, for example, unleashed all of the Magic within the sword in one use, but through proper training and control, as explained by Lucy Ashley, it could last hundreds of times. The transportation of Edolas is also more developed than Earth Land's, as while Earth Land's Transportation requires a Mage to transfer their Magic Power to run the vehicle, transportation in Edolas is powered solely by Lacrima. Earth Land Mages cannot use their Magic in Edolas unless they take X-Balls.
Currently, Edolas is completely without Magic Power due to Mystogan's actions of reversing the Anima, the creation of the former King, and Mystogan's father, Faust. This transferred all of Edolas' Magic Power to Earth Land.
Similar to Earth Land, Edolas has many different races. One of the more infamous races that existed, called the Exceed, appeared 100 years ago. The Exceed race are cat-like creatures. The Exceeds are highly regarded by the people that know their race in Edolas, as shown when Erza Knightwalker and the Royal Army quickly bowed down to Happy and Carla upon their return. They considered themselves the angels that control the lives of the human races because their Magic is stored within their body, and they consider humans an inferior race. In Edolas also live massive flying monsters called Legions, that are often used as a means of transport and in combat by Edolas residents.
The human residents of Edolas are, for the most part, counterparts of the human residents of Earth Land. However, the main difference between the two is that their personalities are in many cases polar opposites. For example, Earth Land Natsu constantly gets sick while riding any sort of transportation whereas Natsu Dragion of Edolas is a speed demon who drives a fire-spewing car. Some Edolas natives, however, are more obviously different to their Earth Land counterparts, as is the case with Porlyusica, whose Earth Land counterpart, the Sky Dragon Grandeeney, is another race entirely.
There used to be many guilds in Edolas; However, due to the limited amount of Magic in Edolas, Faust ordered the outlaw of Magic and the disbandment of all guilds. Known guilds that were dissolved include Edolas Blue Pegasus and Edolas Lamia Scale. Like Edolas Fairy Tail Guild, there are some variations between their counterparts. The Edolas Blue Pegasus Guild only accepts women and Lucy Ashley is actually friends with Edolas Sherry.

Filia Gi (Filias Land)
The Agrafa Mountains, next to the ancient river Kouralios (today named Sofaditis), extend down to the Thessalian flatland. Along the riverside at the temple of Athena Itonia, pilgrims, travelers, and merchants used to rest at Filia Village near a vast amount of vineyards that gave them the luxury to indulge themselves with the wines of the Thessalonian land.
In the following centuries the cultivation of these vineyards was remarkably increased. With respect to the local tradition (it's not by mistake that the brand depicts a heron, the bird of the rivers), the winery Filia Land, since the first day of its establishment, has made it its number one priority to provide Greek and Thessalonian varieties to those who possess the ability to appreciate fine wine.
The winery is surrounded by eighty acres of vineyard. Visitors will have the chance to take a guided tour at the vineyard and discover the different varieties. They will realize the true meaning behind the phrase, "The good wine is made in the vineyard."


Pipeline: Split a CSV File
In this Page
I want to take a CSV file and split the data out into two other CSV files. While this is not a typical use case for SnapLogic, it does provide examples of how to use several Snaps.
Snaps Used
For this scenario, the following Snaps are used:
 - File Reader
 - CSV Parser
 - Filter
 - Router
 - Sort
 - CSV Format
 - File Writer
Other Requirements
 - A sample CSV file loaded into the SnapLogic file system. This example refers to a employee directory file, directory.csv, that contains the following columns: Name, Location, Extension, Email, Title, Department, Dept ID.
 1. Upload your CSV file to the SnapLogic file system. See the Files Page topic for more information.
 2. Create a new pipeline by clicking the (+) tab.
 3. Add and configure a File Reader Snap.
 - For the File field, select the file you uploaded in Step 1. Because you are accessing the file system, no authentication information is needed.
 4. Add a CSV Parser Snap. You will use the default configuration.
 5. Add and configure a Filter Snap. If your source file is a company directory and you only want data for the Sales team, you would configure the Filter Snap with an expression to restrict the data to just that, for example:
 $Department == "Sales"
 Be sure to select the expression toggle (=) in front of the field.
 6. Add and configure a Router Snap.
 - Determine which information you want to route to each of the two files you will create. In this example, you will filter by the Location column and move some groups to one file and the rest to the other file.
 - Add a row for each expression you want to process, for example:
 $Location == "Field" to output0
 $Location == "HQ" to output1
 output0 and output1 are the default values for the first two output views. To rename the views, you can edit them on the Views tab.
 7. (Optional) Add and configure two Sort Snaps, one off of each Router output. If you want to sort the data being written to the files, then you would add a Sort Snap.
 - Add a Sort Path and set it to the column you want to sort by. To sort by more than one column, add additional values.
 - Set Sort Order to the correct value.
 8. Add two CSV Format Snaps, one off of each Router output. You will use the default configuration.
 9. Add and configure two File Writer Snaps, one off of each Router output.
 - For each output, set the File Name to the name of the file where you want the results written to, including a path if necessary. See File Writer for information on how to write files to different locations. If written to the SnapLogic database, you can access the files through Manager.
 - Add the appropriate account type for the location where you want to write the files to.

This surface appears to be the simplest among Peter Connor's experimental doubly periodic genus 3 surfaces.
But appearance can deceive. First, there is a complicated orientation reversing symmetry: Reflect at a horizontal plane, then slide horizontally and diagonally by halfperiods. Next one wonders how the catenoidal handles will move. The above image is already close to one limit, where the neck sizes shrink to zero while the handles are being pushed towards each other, before ever reaching a symmetric position. The other limit is more straightforward, showing two doubly periodic Karcher-Scherk surfaces.

Above are clips from an MSNBC and a CNN interview with people who saw strange lights in the sky just before/during the Chile earthquake. Just as documented before the 2004 Tsunami, the 2008 China quake, and the 2010 Haiti quake, there is video evidence and many witnesses who saw aurora borealis type lights in the sky. It is NOT a natural phenomenon to see such lights before/during a natural earthquake, however, such a lighting effect IS a common side-effect of HAARP waves coming back down from the Ionosphere. This is very damning evidence.
A bright glow is not a precursor to a natural earthquake. A bright glow was reportedly seen during the time of the Haiti earthquake. Pravda.Ru reported The Russian Navy reports that the U.S. created the earthquake in Haiti, the article archived on NoLiesRadio. A bright glow was seen during the time of China's last powerful earthquake. There is documented evidence that it was created by scalar weapons based on a wedding party video that showed plasma discharge lights in the sky before that earthquake. A bright glow was seen and reported by hundreds of people, locals and tourists, during Vanuatu's 7.3 earthquake in 2002. The writer witnessed that bright glow there during that quake around 4 a.m. Ni-vans, the Republic of Vanuatu's indigenous population and one of the World's oldest living cultures that inhabits a remote and pristine tropical paradise area, reported that they had never before seen a bright glow during earthquakes. (Click here to read more from this article)
Another gauge to check for HAARP's responsibility is the Alaskan Induction Magnometer which basically shows whether or not HAARP is on or off at any particular time. Before/during the 2004 Tsunami, 2005 Katrina, 2008 China quake, and the 2010 Haiti quake, HAARP was indeed turned on and turned up to very high levels. Before yesterday's quake HAARP was turned on once again, this time at very low frequency, for about 8-12 hours ending about 5 hours before (just like Haiti) the quake hit. Not only this, but the USGS actually registered a 2.5 rictor quake in Alaska at the same time as the Chile quake! There are actually 2 HAARP facilities in Alaska, one in Russia, one in Norway, and one in Puerto Rico, unfortunately none of which have an Induction Magnometer in place to check if any of them were fired up in tandem.
There is no officially known numbers of separate HAARP stations worldwide, some say 3-4, 4-6, others as many as 8 to 10, the most well known being in Alaska and Norway (remember the Norway spiral? That happened over a HAARP station). So this technology heats up the ionosphere (an electromagnetic-wave conducting a layer of electrically charged particles acting as a shield from solar winds 62 miles above the earth). Remember there was an earthquake in Alaska today at a scale of 2.5 at the same time as this earthquake in Chile which was at a scale of 8.8, you could draw a straight line on the map between these two locations (Click here to read more from this article).
Above is Juan Andres Salfate on the Chilean conspiracy show, La Conspiración, talking about HAARP with subtitles in English. In Breaking News today, Lori Price, Managing Editor of Citizens for Legitimate Government(CLG) has implied that HARRP could have been involved in Chile's monumental 8.8 earthquake. CLG highlighting HAARP today concurs with a growing number of scientists and the public aware of the HAARP weapon of mass destruction and its geoengineering capacity to trigger "natural disasters" for imperialist political gain (Click here to read more).
To conclude, I'll just leave you with this USGS chart of Worldwide Deadly & Destructive Earthquakes over the past 100 years. Isn't it interesting that we've had a HUGE spike in deadly and destructive earthquakes since the invention of HAARP? Coincidence? You be the judge.

12 Cameras: Haitian Women Share their LivesAlessandra Villaamil
Filmmaker's website: _URL_
Film DescriptionThere are an estimated 80,000 Haitian migrants, mostly women and mostly undocumented, living and working in the Dominican Republic. These women are easy targets for trafficking and exploitation. They face the constant fear of arbitrary deportation. Their Dominican-born children are denied citizenship, legal identity, valid passports and are largely denigrated by Dominican society. The Haitian migrant women featured in the documentary were taught by industry professionals to use digital cameras and audio recorders to become efficient storytellers in their communities. The women produced 12 stories of hope and struggle, discrimination and poverty as they claim their children's rights to civil existence.

What is a Bessel filter?
The term Bessel refers to a type of filter response, not a type of filter. It features flat group delay in the passband:
This is the characteristic of Bessel filters that makes them valuable to digital designers. Very few filters are designed with square waves in mind. Most of the time,
the signals filtered are sine waves, or close enough that the effect of harmonics can be ignored. If a waveform with high harmonic content is filtered, such as a square
wave, the harmonics can be delayed with respect to the fundamental frequency if a Butterworth or Chebyshev response is used. The Fourier Series of a square wave
This means that a square wave is an infinite series of odd harmonics, or sinewaves, summed together to create the square shape. Obviously, if a square wave is to be
transmitted without distortion, all of the harmonics - out to infinity - must be transmitted. This means that the square wave can be high pass filtered without
distortion, if the 3 dB point of the filter is significantly lower than the fundamental. If the square wave is low pass filtered, however, the situation changes
dramatically. Harmonics will be eliminated, producing distortion in the square wave. It is the job of the designer to decide just how many harmonics must be
passed and what can be eliminated. Suppose that the designer wants to keep five harmonics. The resulting waveform looks something like this:
This may be acceptable to the designer - it depends on the timing of the leading and trailing edge of the waveform. The elimination of harmonics will result in rounding
of the edges, and therefore delay in the leading and trailing edges of the digital signal. Of more importance, the harmonics that are passed will not be delayed.
The Bessel approximation has a smooth passband and stopband response, like the Butterworth. For the same filter order, the stopband attenuation of the Bessel
approximation is much lower that that of the Butterworth approximation.
The following figures are representative of a low pass filter. The response characteristics are mirror imaged for high pass filters.
The designer can see that there is no ripple in the passband of a Bessel filter, and that it does not have as much rejection in the stop band as a Butterworth filter.
The phase response of the three filter types is shown below. The Bessel response has the slowest rate of change of phase.

- "I am the Knowing. I observe and record. I observe and collate."— The Knowing
The Knowing was located behind a series of corridors buried underneath Ariel's mining facilities, and filled with traps, such as wall-mounted, motion-activated lasers. Its function was to observe, record, and organize information over the course of history. Presumably, it had been collecting information for the 100,000 years since the disappearance of the Forerunners after activating the Halo Array.
During the Battle of Ariel, ODSTs Dutch and Romeo found The Knowing after their stolen Phantom crash-landed in a room containing the missing colonists, whom the Covenant had been sending through the tunnels to find traps.
Upon entering the Knowing's chamber, it acknowledged their primacy, and offered to answer any questions they had. When it was revealed that the Covenant would be able to use the Knowing's information to destroy the human race "down to [their] last DNA strand," the ODSTs decided to tell the Knowing to self-destruct itself before the Covenant could reach it. Its destruction gave cause for the Covenant to leave Ariel, seeing no reason to remain after their goal had been destroyed - they didn't even bother to glass the planet.

I learned the following trick for memorizing the value of e from my colleague, Gene White. It never fails to impress calculus students (given a wide enough definition of "impress").
Start by carefully looking at this picture:
That's a 20 dollar bill, so memorize "2″ and put down the decimal point.
The picture on the bill is of Andrew Jackson. He was our seventh President, so put a "7″ after the decimal point to get 2.7.
Jackson was elected in 1828, so put down "1828″ next. Since there's a 2 in front of the decimal place, put "1828″ a second time. We're now up to 2.718281828.
Now look at the red square over Jackson's face. The diagonal creates two congruent right triangles with angle measures 45, 90, and 45. So, add on 459045 to get 2.718281828459045. And that's e to 15 places.
I'm open to suggestions on how to memorize more of the digits.

Like the works of some of her contemporaries' novels, Jane Austen's 19th century writings are often referred to as realistic novels. Her books, such as Pride and Prejudice, use fiction to depict as closely as possible the day-to-day experiences of people in a particular time and social class. The characters in realistic novels are complex beings with multifaceted emotions who are faced with plausible, everyday challenges of their era and station in life. Other novelists of the 19th century whose works are classified in the realism category include George Eliot and Leo Tolstoy.

Literary realism is a branch of literature which set out to reflect society as it was, to get as close to the bone of real life as it could. It often depicts more humble or banal events than Romantic writers. So most of Jane Austen's novels are realist because they are fairly mundane; they depict fairly ordinary people, usually woman, doing fairly ordinary things. There are few locked room mysteries, no strange and mysterious happenings, or insane wives. The women do ordinary things like get married and the men are fairly ordinary men.
If you compare Pride and Prejudice to a novel like Jane Eyre, the differences become clear: no secret insane wives imprisoned in the home, no misplaced identities and no Byronic heroes.
In a way it could be described as less 'exciting' than Romantic novels but it is a truer reflection of society because it relies less on stylization and more on holding a mirror up to society.

What is the molar absorptivity of crystal violet?
When dissolved in water, the dye has a blue-violet colour with an absorbance maximum at 590 nm and an extinction coefficient of 87,000 M−1 cm−1. The colour of the dye depends on the acidity of the solution.
Is Crystal Violet dangerous?
Environmental The product contains a substance which may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Hazard statements H350 May cause cancer. H412 Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects.
How does crystal violet inhibit growth?
Crystal violet has an antibacterial action against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis and Bacillus subtilis. The effect of the dye, measured as minimum inhibitory concentration or retardation of growth, increases as the pH rises from 6 to 8. Gram‐negative organisms, such as E.
Is Crystal Violet acidic or basic?
If the color portion of the dye resides in the positive ion, as in the above case, it is called a basic dye (examples: methylene blue, crystal violet, safranin). If the color portion is in the negatively charged ion, it is called an acidic dye (examples: nigrosin, congo red).
Is safranin basic or acidic?
Safranin is a basic biological dye commonly used as a counter-stain in some of the staining protocols like gram staining.
How does crystal violet assay work?
It relies on the detachment of adherent cells from cell culture plates during cell death. During the assay, dead detached cells are washed away. The remaining attached live cells are stained with Crystal violet. After a wash step, the Crystal violet dye is solubilized and measured by absorbance at 595 nm.
What are examples of acidic dyes?
Acid dyes stain acidophilic structures (e.g. cytoplasm, basic tissue proteins). Examples of acid dyes are Indian ink, congo red, nigrosoine.
What is the most commonly used dye?
Reactive dyes are the most permanent of all dye types and are the most common type of dye used on cotton and other cellulose fibers.
What is acidic and basic dye?
Acidic Dyes: It is dye which has negative charge so they bind to positively charged cell structures like some proteins. Basic Dyes: This dye have positive charge & bind to negatively charged molecules(nucleic acid, -COOH -OH).
Is India ink acidic or basic?
India Ink or Nigrosin is an acidic stain. This means that the stain readily gives up a hydrogen ion (proton) and the chromophore of the dye becomes negatively charged. Since the surface of most bacterial cells is negatively charged, the cell surface repels the stain.
How do you use Indian ink?
3:55Suggested clip · 114 secondsHow To Use India Ink – YouTubeYouTubeStart of suggested clipEnd of suggested clip
Why is it called India Ink?
India ink was first invented in China, but the English term India(n) ink was coined due to their later trade with India. In India, the carbon black from which India ink is formulated was obtained indigenously by burning bones, tar, pitch, and other substances.
Is India ink permanent?
Probably the most renowned ink, Indian ink is a permanent, opaque black.
Is India ink safe?
Use India Ink Ink, like the ink from your pen, is not sterile and can be highly toxic. A non-toxic ink, like India ink, would be your best bet. It's natural, carbon-based, and less likely to cause infection. India ink is super cheap, and you can buy tons of it at your local art supply store.
Is India ink washable?
Washable Fabrics Pretreat the stain with heavy-duty liquid detergent. Rinse. Soak fabric in dilute solution of all-fabric powdered bleach. If stain persists and garment is white or colorfast, soak entire garment in diluted solution of liquid chlorine bleach and water.

As family historians venture into cemeteries to look for more clues about their ancestors many wonder what, if anything, the symbols on headstones mean.
While most headstone symbols do have a textbook meaning, many were chosen simply because the person who died requested such a design, or because the person choosing the headstone liked how it looked. They may not have realised their chosen design had meaning. Fashion also played a big part, as did the need to impress. Therefore the true representation of a headstone symbol may never be known.
Nevertheless, it's interesting to know the potential meanings behind various symbols. Here are some examples I've found in the rural cemeteries of Canterbury, New Zealand.

With the release of Solr 7.0 and introduction of new replica types, in addition to the defa?ult NRT type the question appeared – can we control the queries and where they are executed? Can we tell Solr to execute the queries only on the PULL replicas or give TLOG replicas a priority? Let's check that out.
The first control option that we have in SolrCloud is the shards parameter. Using it we can directly control which shards should be used for querying. For example we can provide a logical shard name in our query:
The first of the above queries will be executed only on those shards that are grouped under the logical shard1 name. The second query will be executed on logical shard1, shard2 and shard3, while the third query will be executed on the shards that are deployed on the localhost:6683 node on the test collection
There is also a possibility to do load balancing across instances, for example:
The above query will be executed on instance running on port 6683 or on the one running on port 7783.
While the shards parameter gives us some degree of control where the query should be executed it is not exactly what we would like to have. However to use a certain type of replica we would have to get the data about the physical layout of the shards and this is not something that we would like to do. Because of that the shards.preference parameter has been introduced to Solr. It allows us to tell Solr what type of replicas should have the priority when executing query.
For example, to tell Solr that PULL type replicas should have priority when the query is executed one should add the shards.preference parameter to the query and set it to replica.type:PULL:
The nice thing is that we can tell Solr that first PULL replicas should be used and then if they are not available TLOG replicas should be used:
We can also define that PULL types replicas should be used first and if they are not available local shards should have the priority:
In addition to the above example we can also define priority based on location of the replicas. For example if our 192.168.1.1 Solr node is way more powerful compared to the others and we would like to first prioritize PULL replicas and then the mentioned Solr node we would run the following query:
The discussed parameters and the shards.preference in particular with its replica.type value can be very useful when we are using SolrCloud with different types of replicas. Telling Solr that we would like to prefer PULL or TLOG replicas we can lower the query based pressure on the NRT replicas and thus have better performance of the whole cluster. What's more – dividing the replicas can help us in achieving query performance that is close what Solr master – slave architecture provides without sacrificing all the goodies that come with SolrCloud itself.

The engineering plastic twin screw extruder was developed based on a single screw extruder. Due to its good feed performance, mixing and plasticization performance, suction performance, and extrusion stability, it is often used in extruded products.
What are the advantages of engineering plastic twin screw extruders?
What role do pre-heaters play in the use of engineering plastic twin screw extruders?
What is the reason for the "fault" of the exhaust air opening of the engineering plastic twin screw extruder?
By simply opening the engineering plastic twin screw extruder, the wear level of the threaded parts and the inner sockets of the cylinder can be determined at any time, so that we need to carry out effective maintenance or exchange. It is not detected if there is a problem with the extruded product causing unnecessary waste.
2. Reduce production costs
When a engineering plastic twin screw extruder is made of technical plastic Masterbatch, it is often necessary to change the color. It is necessary to change the product.
Simply open the open editing area within a few minutes. In addition, the mixing process can be performed by observing the melting profile on the entire screw. analysis. When changing the color of an ordinary engineering plastic twin screw extruder, a large amount of cleaning material is needed to clean the machine, which is time and energy consuming and wastes raw materials. The split engineering plastic twin screw extruder can solve this problem. When changing color, it takes only a few minutes to quickly open the barrel for manual cleaning, so that no or fewer cleaning agents can be used, which saves costs.
A pre-heating of the cable core is required for the use of an engineering plastic twin screw extruder. The presence of pores shall not be permitted for the insulating layer, in particular the thin insulating layer. The wire core can be completely removed from the water and oil surface by high-temperature preheating before crushing. In the case of coat extrusion, its main function is to dry the cable core to prevent the possibility of pores in the coat due to moisture (or moisture around the cushion layer). By preheating, the residual pressure of the plastic can also be prevented by discouragement during extrusion. During the plastic extrusion of the processor, preheating can eliminate the large temperature difference that occurs when the cold wire enters the high-temperature nozzle and the nozzle is in contact with the plastic, thereby avoiding the fluctuation of the plastic temperature and causing the fluctuation of the extrusion pressure. This stabilizes the extrusion volume and ensures the extrusion quality. The technical plastic engineering plastic twin screw extruder uses an electric radiator preheating device that requires sufficient capacity and guarantees rapid heating so that the core preheating and drying efficiency of the cable core is high. The pre-heat temperature is limited by the deflection speed and generally corresponds to the temperature of the machine part.
The temperature of the machine part is low and the pressure of the machine part is too high.
engineering plastic twin screw extruder The engineering plastic twin screw extruder used for profile extrusion is usually narrow-meshed and rotates in different directions, but a few also use simultaneous engineering plastic twin screw extruders, which usually work with relatively low screw speed. About ten U/min.
The rapidly combining, simultaneous engineering plastic twin screw extruder is used for composting, venting or as a continuous chemical reactor. The maximum snail speed of this extruder type is 300-600 U/min. The non-interactive extruder is used for mixing, venting, and chemical reaction. Its conveyor mechanism is very different from the interlocking extruder, which is closer to the conveyor mechanism of a single screw extruder.
These are related practices for using engineering plastic twin screw extruders. If you want to get more information about the engineering plastic twin screw extruders, please connect Nanjing JlEYA, and they will tell you more about it.
The single screw extruder is a special reduction power device designed for plastic and rubber single screw extruder equipment. The reducer is matched with the motor. The gear parts are made of high-strength alloy steel. The gears are processed by carburizing, quenching, and high-precision gear grinding. The gear accuracy is level 6, and the tooth surface hardness is HRC58-62.
What is the principle of single screw extruder?
What is the current industry development of single screw extruder?
What should I pay attention to when using single screw extruder?
The single screw extruder is generally divided into three sections in effective length. The effective length of the three sections is determined according to the diameter of the screw and the pitch and depth of the screw, which are generally divided into one-third of each; the last thread of the single screw extruder has been called the conveying section. It is required that it cannot be plasticized, but it must be preheated and compressed;
The second section of the single screw extruder is called the compression section. At this time, the volume of the screw groove gradually decreases, and the temperature must reach the degree of plasticization of the material. The compression produced here is from the conveying section three, and here it is compressed to one. Some machines also have Change, the plasticized material enters the third stage;
The third section of the single screw extruder is the metering section, where the material maintains the plasticizing temperature to supply the machine head, which is generally slightly higher than the plasticizing temperature.
In single screw extruder equipment, the plastic extruder is normally referred to as the main machine and the following equipment, the plastic extruder, is referred to as the auxiliary machine. After more than 100 years of development, the plastic extruder has been derived from the original single-screw extruder, a variety of models such as double-screw, multi-screw and even non-screw models have been derived. The plastic extruder (host) can be used with different plastic moulding machines such as tube, foil, holding material, monofilament, flat wire, strapping, extruding network, plate material, profile material, pelleting, cable coating, etc. are used. Suitable for different plastic extrusion production lines for the production of different plastic products. Therefore, plastic extrusion machines are today and in the future one of the most common models in the plastics processing industry.
What should I pay attention to when using single screw extruder?
(1) The material convey way of the single screw extruder mainly relies on friction, which limits its feeding performance. And it is difficult to add the powder, paste, glass fiber and inorganic fillers, so pay attention to the material used.
(2) When the pressure of the single screw extruder head is high, the reverse flow will increase and the productivity will decrease. Therefore, always pay attention to the pressure of the equipment.
(3) The surface renewal effect of the single screw extruder material in the exhaust zone is small, so the exhaust effect is poor.
(4) single screw extruder is not suitable for certain processes, such as polymer coloring, thermosetting powder processing, etc.
The single screw extruder has achieved an irreplaceable position in industrial production. Nanjing JlEYA is committed to providing various bending and rolling machines of high quality for all customers from all over the world.
The engineering plastic twin screw extruder consists of a transmission device, a feed device, a barrel, and a screw. The function of each component is similar to that of a single-screw extruder. The difference to the single screw extruder is that in the engineering plastic twin screw extruder two parallel snails are arranged in the "cross-section" of the material.
What is the working principle of the engineering plastic twin screw extruder?
How do you treat a engineering plastic twin screw extruder?
Why is the cooling device particularly important when using engineering plastic twin screw extruders?
From the point of view of the principle of movement, the engineering plastic twin screw extruder distinguishes between the straight and uneven, and non-foaming types.
1. Double screw extruder of technical plastic
This type of engineering plastic twin screw extruder has a low speed and a high speed. The former is mainly used for profile extraction, while the latter is used for special polymer processing operations.
(1) Tightly machined extruder. The slow-running extruder has a closely combining screw geometry, in which the spiral antenna shape of one snail closely matches the spiral antenna shape of the other snail, i.e. the conjugated snail shape.
(2) Self-cleaning extruder. The simultaneous high-speed extruder has a closely tuned spiral shape. This type of snail can be executed with a relatively small snail split so that the snail has a closed self-cleaning effect. This type of engineering plastic twin screw extruder is called a compact self-cleaning engineering plastic twin screw extruder.
The gap between the two screw edges of the closely combining, opposing engineering plastic twin screw extruder is very small (much smaller than the gap in the evenly rotating engineering plastic twin screw extruder) so those positive conveying properties can be achieved.
2. Non-reciprocating double screw extruder of technical plastic
The axis distance between the two snails of the non-foaming engineering plastic twin screw extruder is greater than the sum of the radii of the two snails.
1. After using the engineering plastic twin screw extruder for 500 hours, iron chips or other impurities from the gears are in the gearbox. Therefore, the gears should be cleaned and the gear lubricant replaced.
2. The engineering plastic twin screw extruder should carry out a comprehensive inspection of the extruder after an operating period to check the density of all snails

Me and You and a Dog Named Blue
Published in TC Today - Volume 24, No. 1
Angela worked for Nickelodeon and Alice worked for Children's Television Workshop. Each of them wanted to create educational television programming for children that would be the best programming around. So they came to Teachers College to learn about how children develop and how they learn. As fate would have it, Angela and Alice took the same class at the same time-"TV and the Development of Youth"-with former Assistant Professor Rosemarie Truglio. Thus began a collaboration to research and to create one of the most popular educational children's television shows: Blue's Clues.
Blue's Clues stars a tri-colored blue hound named Blue. The show appears twice a day on the Nickelodeon network as one of the main features of their Nick Jr. programming for preschoolers.
Aside from the animated dog, the show features Blue's non-animated owner, Steve Burns, who is the host of the series. Steve talks directly to the audience of preschool-age viewers, inviting them to join him in activities and asking for their help when he needs to figure something out. The name "Blue's Clues" refers to pawprints left by Blue to help Steve understand what the dog is trying to say. When Steve sees something marked with a pawprint, he draws a picture of it in his "handy dandy notebook." After finding three clues, he sits in his big red and black "thinking chair" to discuss the clues with his audience. Together, they solve the puzzle.
On a deeper level, Blue's Clues is, according to TC alumna and head writer Angela Santomero (M.A. Developmental Psychology, 1995), a venue that "bridges the gap between research and production and brings them to a higher level." Santomero created the idea for Blue's Clues with producer/director Todd Kessler and designer Traci Paige Johnson in an effort to produce a game show where children solve problems while learning a curriculum. The curriculum is subtle reinforcement of skills such as color and shape recognition, sorting, vocabulary and problem solving. And, when Steve asks the audience for their help, there is also a bit of self-esteem building going on.
"The learning aspect is embedded in what children do," Santomero explained. "The older character needs their help with a problem." The problems are relatively easy in the beginning of the show, she explained, with each one becoming a little bit harder. "By the third clue, we are sitting in a big thinking chair and have brought preschoolers through a 30-minute show remembering clues."
Alice Wilder, (Ed.D. Educational Psychology, 1998), Director of Research and Development for the show, agreed that the interactive nature of the show's design is key to learning. "They watch it and participate in it and â€˜own' the knowledge for themselves," she explained.
Wilder was at Teachers College working on her dissertation about the effectiveness of instructional programs for students with learning disabilities when Santomero called and asked her to watch the pilot she had created with Kessler and Johnson. "When Angela called me and showed me the pilot, I cried," Wilder said. "I saw so many of the things we had learned in school. I could see them becoming a reality in the show they had created."
Santomero had other reasons for showing the pilot to Wilder. "In order to do 20 episodes, I needed someone who was completely smart, who could understand the kids and the show, and bridge the gap between research and production," she explained. "So I told her, â€˜We need someone just like you.'" Wilder's background in working with producers and writers at Children's Television Workshop enhanced her qualifications as a researcher for this project. Wilder was also getting what she called "great research experience" at Teachers College while working on her doctorate. She saw this as her opportunity to "take what I was learning about kids and apply it to the medium of television."
Not only was it rare to have a research department as part of a production, but Santomero came up with an idea to bring another unusual element to the show. "We want kids to master the concepts," she said. "One way of doing that is to air the same show every day for a week." According to what they were hearing from teachers, parents and grandparents, repetition is one of the most important strategies used in teaching children of this age group.
"It was something different, and it was scary to present it to Nickelodeon," Santomero confessed. "But they are big on research and they understood the power of hearing from our audience to create programming strategy. With Blue's Clues, we make decisions based on the research."
Santomero said that she and Wilder "created a curriculum together from Alice's expertise and from our mission, which is to empower, challenge and increase the self-esteem of preschoolers while making them laugh. How to do that comes from what Alice does."
Every script has a goal sheet attached to it that outlines the theme of that particular show and the overall goal. A team of three researchers conducts what they call a "concept test" on every script by sitting down with preschoolers in their day-care centers. While playing out the script with the children, the researchers keep track of how they respond. Then they analyze what happened and why. "We test every script three to four times before an episode gets on the air," Wilder said. According to Santomero, it can take up to ten months of research and production before a show is finally ready.
This time and effort has apparently reaped rewards both financially and critically. A recent article in TV Guide noted that, "Since Blue's Clues premiered in September 1996, it has snowballed into the most watched show on television among preschoolers..." The article went on to say that experts in the field "adore it." "Blue's Clues," says writer David Handelman, "is one of those rare instances when commercial television is both creative and educational without sacrificing entertainment value."
"We make the show as good as we can, and there are people out there trying to document if we are fulfilling the mission," explained Wilder. "We found that kids who watch Blue's Clues scored higher in kindergarten readiness skills than the kids who don't watch the show."
But the most touching story about how the show is affecting viewers came from a parent who contacted Santomero. "A mother called us to tell us that her son is autistic and won't talk to her and her husband," Santomero explained. "The first word he spoke was to Steve (the host of Blue's Clues)."
"We don't realize the impact and influence that TV has," she continued. That influence, she believes, goes beyond the show's production. With its popularity in the United States and abroad (there is currently a British version with German, Italian and Latin American editions being developed), the usual spin-off products-clothes, toys, books, and dolls-are filling shelves in stores around the country. "We meet with people who are creating toys and talk about how influential toys can be," Santomero explained. "We put the same influence into each toy that we put into production of the show."
"The same situation occurred with one of the licensers doing a line of Blue's Clues clothing," Wilder added. "We thought, what can we do to help children dress themselves?" After speaking to parents about their children's dressing habits and what would make children feel good about themselves, the results were the addition of bigger buttons, color-matched buttons and buttonholes, and elastic-waist pants. "We don't try to pretend we know everything, but we don't want to just see Blue on a T-shirt," Santomero said. "The clothing manufacturers are the experts in their business and we are the experts in our business. We are trying to keep that marriage as manageable as possible."
When a show starts out with such a noble basis and becomes enormously popular, it's not unusual for the initial goal to fall by the wayside. Santomero said she is excited by the success of Blue's Clues but, "I stay as focused as I can on why we are here and what we are doing. I just want to change the way TV is for preschoolers." She noted that self-esteem is formed at the preschool stage, and that preschoolers are the foundation for the next generation. If Blue's Clues can improve that foundation, then they are meeting their goals.
"It is a dream, like being in the classroom but reaching millions of kids at a time," Santomero said with a smile. "It's pretty cool."

Imagine life in a different time with Herbert Basedow's photographs of early 20th-century expeditions into central and northern Australia.
Herbert Basedow — anthropologist, geologist, scientist, explorer and medical practitioner — was a remarkable Australian. He was renowned for the breadth of his work across central and northern Australia in the early decades of the 20th century. His extensive knowledge of the country and his opinions were highly valued by scientists, politicians and businessmen of his era.
Part of his great legacy is the National Museum of Australia's collection of more than 2200 negatives created during his many expeditions in remote Australia. His photographs reveal his diverse interests and provide poignant reflections of expeditionary and frontier life — a window into a different time.
A Different Time: The Expedition Photographs of Herbert Basedow 1903–1928 draws on the National Museum of Australia's rich collection of Basedow's photographic work.
WARNING: This exhibition contains images of nudity and people in distressing circumstances. Visitors should also be aware that the exhibition and website include names and images of deceased people that may cause sadness or distress to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Your DNA Can Determine Whether You Pass a Drug Test
Image: SNRE Lab on Flickr
Countless people spend money on products to pass a urine drug test for cannabis. They don't know that whether they will pass is already written in their DNA.
I recently covered a scientific study on how your genes affect your sensitivity to cannabis. It explained how a variant at a specific place in your DNA can increase how easily you get high. But it gets even better for these lucky bastards…they are also much less likely to fail a drug test for cannabis!
THC metabolism by CYP2C9
Here is a quick primer in case you didn't read the previous article on your genes and cannabis.
Below is the main metabolic pathway of THC. THC is metabolized to the psychoactive metabolite 11-OH-THC. 11-OH-THC is further metabolized to the inactive metabolite THC-COOH, which is the most important metabolite for urine drug tests.
THC,DNA, Metabolism
This metabolism is performed by an enzyme called CYP2C9. The gene for CYP2C9 has more than 50 genetic polymorphisms. The wild-type version (i.e. the most common version) of the gene is called CYP2C9*1. There is a specific polymorphism that has significance for drug metabolism called CYP2C9*3. The CYP2C9*3 variant has significantly decreased enzyme activity.
Image: Professor of Pot
A clinical study determined that after administering a single oral dose of THC, people with the *3/*3 genotype had 3-fold higher THC levels in their blood than subjects with the *1/*1 genotype.
Effect of CYP2C9*3 on THC-COOH
The CYP2C9*3 polymorphism does not only affect levels of THC in your body. If you look at the above metabolic pathway, you can see that it should also have a strong impact on levels of THC-COOH. In fact, study subjects with the *3/*3 genotype had 3-fold lower THC-COOH levels (below).
Image: Professor of Pot
Where does all the THC go in people with a CYP2C9*3 genotype if not down the pathway to THC-COOH? There are other metabolic pathways (that I didn't show) that produce other metabolites. These metabolites mostly do not get excreted into the urine and even if they do, they are not detected by confirmatory drug tests (see here for the difference between a screening and confirmatory drug test).
Having a CYP2C9*3 genotype may be even better than you realize if you are a regular cannabis user. Because levels of THC are higher with the CYP2C9*3 genotype (if you are taking edibles) and the high lasts longer (if you are smoking), that means that you can eat lower doses and smoke cannabis less often than people with the regular wild-type CYP2C9 gene and still be just as high.
Image: Professor of Pot
This plot (above) shows the relative levels of THC-COOH if people of different genotypes adjust their doses to get the same amount of combined THC and 11-OH-THC as wild-type users. This analysis shows that if you have the CYP2C9 *3/*3 genotype, your THC-COOH levels will be only 15% of a wild-type person! This is because you only need to take half the dose and your body will only produce one-third as much THC-COOH from that dose.
Urine drug testing for cannabis and CYP2C9 pharmacogenetics
Let's take a look at how this might play out if you have a drug test coming up. I pulled data from a study of cannabis users who start abstaining and have their urine tested on a daily basis. The group I looked at smoked one joint per day on average.
It took 7 days for the urine THC-COOH levels of the average subject to fall below 15 ng/mL, which is the typical cutoff for the GC-MS confirmatory test.
Image: Professor of Pot
I then plotted the expected urine THC-COOH levels of people with the CYP2C9 *3/*3 genotype based on the fact that urine levels should be directly proportional to blood levels (and thus, urine levels should also be 2/3 lower). The results show that it would only take 2 days for the average person with a CYP2C9 *3/*3 genotype to fall below the cutoff, assuming they consume an equal amount of cannabis.
Since we know that people with the CYP2C9 *3/*3 genotype have higher levels of THC, it is likely that they reduce their cannabis consumption to compensate. If these people also reduced their cannabis dose by half, their urine THC-COOH levels would fall below the cutoff in less than a single day after their last dose!
If you have a CYP2C9*3 gene, you are at reduced risk of failing a drug test. You are probably ingesting less cannabis (but still getting just as high) and on top of that, less of the THC is converted to the THC-COOH metabolite that will cause a positive on a urine drug test. You, my friend, have won the genetic lottery!

Applicant attraction, need for achievement, person-organization fit, valence-instrumentality-expectancy theory, organizational personality
Date of Defense
This research explored the thesis that organizational personality is related to applicants' attraction to an organization through a process which involves need motivation, expectancy beliefs, and applicants' perceptions of person-organization fit. Organizational personality may be defined as a collection of trait-like characteristics that individuals use to describe organizational practices, policies, values, and culture. Specifically, this research investigated the hypothesis that organizational personality information is useful to applicants because it helps individuals to determine their perceptions of fit. A sample of students (N = 198) and working adults (N = 198) participated in an online experiment. Findings indicated that individuals' beliefs about the instrumentality of desirable work related outcomes are essential to determining their perceptions of fit and organizational attraction. Additionally, organizational personality perceptions interacted with need motivation to affect perceptions of fit and organizational attraction. For instance, perceptions of fit mediated the influence of the interaction between need for achievement and perceptions of innovativeness on organizational attraction. The interaction of need motivation and perceptions of organizational personality helped individuals to better determine their perceptions of fit and subsequent attraction toward organizations.

Is it possible to set the inertia tensor used for a rigid body control?
I have understood thus far that it is possible to set the mass and principal moments of inertia for a rigid body through function calls to jbullet itself through the following functions:
final javax.vecmath.Vector3f principalInertia = new javax.vecmath.Vector3f(inertia.toArray(null)); rbc.getObjectId().setMassProps(mass_kg, principalInertia);
or to set the principal inertias more directly:
final javax.vecmath.Vector3f principalInertia = new javax.vecmath.Vector3f(inertia.toArray(null)); setInvInertiaDiagLocal(Vector3f diagInvInertia);
However, I have not been able to find any way to set the off diagonal terms of the inertia tensor, namely through specifying the principal axes. At the very least, I expected it to be pretty straightforward something as basic as the entire inertia matrix for an rbc to exist, but i have not been able to find anything. At first i considered that jbullet might limit itself to have all rigid bodies require principal axes that align with the reference frame unit vectors( which would be severely limiting, but i considered it nonetheless) but I could clearly see that it was possible to get the inertia tensor as a whole(but not set it?) that the off diagonal terms were not zero. Namely this was observed with the function:
javax.vecmath.Matrix3f inertiaTensor = new javax.vecmath.Matrix3f(); rbc.getObjectId().getInvInertiaTensorWorld(inertiaTensor);
Since the off diagonal terms were clearly non-zero, then the principal axes are clearly not aligned with the rbc reference frame. So the question remains, how can either the principal axes or the entire inertia tensor as a whole be set?


text: Research has shown a relationship between mothers' beliefs about literacy, their educational and socioeconomic backgrounds, and their children's emergent literacy awareness. Many Australian Indigenous children experience educational disadvantage, as do children whose parents are manual workers. One recommendation that is frequently made is for parents to be encouraged to participate in their children's literacy development. Yet little is known about the implicit beliefs about literacy held by mothers from Indigenous-Australian and Anglo-Australian backgrounds. Such beliefs need to be taken into account in early childhood literacy programs. Eleven Indigenous and nine Anglo-Australian mothers from varied educational backgrounds were interviewed about how children learn to read and literacy in general. The findings indicate that the tertiary educated mothers, whether Indigenous or Anglo-Australian, held views that were mostly compatible with an emergent literacy perspective. The early school-leaving mothers focused more on the role of memory and repetition of specific skills in learning to read. These findings have implications for teachers, researchers, and family literacy programs.
