The authors analyzed commercially available data from five New Jersey communities to categorize food outlets based on the North American Industry Classification Codes. The authors integrated information from the databases with Internet searches and phone calls to refine the categorization of food outlets listed in the databases.
- There were substantial differences between the commercial food outlet database classifications and the researchers' revised database classifications.
- The reclassification found that there were three times as many convenience stores than indicated in the commercial database; one-seventh the number of supermarkets and grocery stores; and twice as many limited-service restaurants.
This research suggests that commercial food outlet databases provide a substantially healthier picture of community food sources than actually exists. The methodologies described may create a replicable approach to tailoring information from commercial databases for public health purposes.

Definition of Yaya
On the internet, there are a lot of meanings for the word Yaya, although it is not really clear what it means, there are 3 concise concepts about its definition.
Concept number 1:
In some Latin American countries such as Chile and Colombia, Yaya refers to a skin lesion. The lesions are superficial or small wounds, and can also mean a healed wound, that is, a scar.
For example:
 - Yayas in your body.
 - A little yaya.
Concept number 2:
In Spain, grandparents are known as Yaya. On the other hand, in other parts of the world, this word refers to a babysitter or person who takes care of child care.
But, in addition to caring for children from home, it is also related to medical care, that is, a home nurse in particular care for the little ones.
Concept number 3:
In the tropical areas of Cuba, there is the "Common Yaya" or "Yaya prieta", its scientific name is "Oxandra lanceolata (Sw.) Baill" and it has countless medicinal properties.
Among its benefits, it can be mentioned that it controls and / or helps with:
 - Hemorrhoids.
 - Diabetes.
 - Brain affections.
 - Psoriasis
Etymology of Yaya
Of Catalan origin, "iaio" and "iaia" gradually moved to Spanish as "Yaya", since in children's pronunciation, that is the sound that is emitted.
The singer 6ix9ine, American rapper, released a music video called "Yaya", last month causing so much fury that he came to position himself in the top # 2 of the most viewed.
The most relevant comments indicate that his single in Spanish has a very good vibe, color and everyone is noticing it.
The video has approximately 112,000,000 visits in less than a month and reflects that the number will continue to increase.
The word that gives rise to this article also expresses that an individual has an outgoing personality, with a lot of attitude and who is charismatic. Needless to say, the video is a "Yaya".

The myth that 10 percent of children the product of 'non-paternity events' is rather persistent. I have no idea why, but I do know that even biologists accept it. But how we can we continue to accept this when surnames can provide population genetic information 400 years after the fact? The population of Belgium is famously divided between Latinate Walloons and Germanic Flemings. But is notable that a substantial number of Flemings carry surnames of clear Romance origin. This is in large part due to acculturation. Nevertheless, even 400 years after the largest of the migration and assimilation events males with Romance-origin surnames reflect their genetic background:
If non-paternity events occurred at a rate of 1 out of 10 the correlation between surnames and genetic lineage would have been decoupled long ago. These results have been confirmed in other societies. I predict that low non-paternity rates will also be confirmed in China; as that nation has a long history of surnames. Of course, one might posit a scenario where males who are the products of non-paternity events tend to be less fit than those who are not, so over the long term these estimates based on present day Y chromosomal lineages may not be appropriate reflective of the frequency of events at some point in the past.

Examining sites that are familiar to many modern tourists, Valerie Warrior avoids imposing a modern perspective on the topic by using the testimony of the ancient Romans to describe traditional Roman religion. The ancient testimony recreates the social and historical contexts in which Roman religion was practised. It shows, for example, how, when confronted with a foreign cult, official traditional religion accepted the new cult with suitable modifications. Basic difficulties, however, arose with regard to the monotheism of the Jews and Christianity. Carefully integrated with the text are visual representations of divination, prayer, and sacrifice as depicted on monuments, coins, and inscriptions from public buildings and homes throughout the Roman world. Also included are epitaphs and humble votive offerings that illustrate the piety of individuals, and that reveal the prevalence of magic and the occult in the spiritual lives of the ancient Romans.

Even if professors chose to go back to in person classes after Oct. 5, the majority of professors still offer an online option for students who are uncomfortable with attending in-person classes. With online learning, cheating has become a concern and this is where the Canvas Activity Log comes into play.
With the help of Juhong Christie Liu, the head of online learning, and Andrea Adams, the assistant dean for learning innovation & design, the log's main goal to prevent students from cheating was established this past week.
"This feature is intended to help investigate technical problems during the process of quiz taking," Liu said. "For instance, an internet interruption. It may help measure the time focusing on taking the quiz, with the condition of a smooth network and computer capacity."
The Canvas Activity Log will show what a student is doing within each minute of the quiz or exam. For example, if during the fifth minute of the exam a student answers numerous questions, the Canvas Activity log would pick up that information and label it all under the fifth minute of the exam. However, the log can mark students as "inactive" during the exam.
"The 'inactive' or 'stop viewing' status occurs when a student navigates away from the quiz (closes the browser tab, opens a new browser tab, or navigates to a different program)," Liu said.
However, there have been students from all different universities who have run into issues with what the "inactive" marking really means. On a Canvas community forum entitled "Quiz Log Interpretation" there are several people who claim they had issues with the Canvas Activity Log.
"I did some testing in a sandbox course and here's what I found: It seems like there are three times the 'Stopped viewing the Canvas quiz-taking page' message occurs; when you're inactive within Canvas (after 30 seconds), when your mouse is inactive in a window outside of Canvas (after 15 seconds) and when you actually click outside of Canvas. The 'Resumes' message occurs when you move your mouse after being inactive or when you click back within Canvas after being active in another window."
Sophomore Eric Hayes said he believes this is what happened to him during an exam he took during the month of the second week of October. After his professor told him that they would be using the Canvas Activity Log to determine if students were cheating on that particular exam, he had concerns.
"I had heard from my roommate that the Canvas Activity Log was not an accurate way to determine if a student was cheating or not, so I did a bunch of research on it before I took the exam," Hayes said. "I found the Canvas forum about it being inaccurate but I thought I'd just give it a try and see what happened."
After completing his exam, several days later Hayes received an email from his professor claiming that the Canvas Activity Log said he left the exam page 99 times.
"I was really mad because I didn't leave the exam screen once. I got 25 points taken off of my score when I didn't even cheat," Hayes said. "I emailed my professor back and sent them all of the information I found online about the inaccuracy of the Canvas Log, I was told that they were going to look into it, but I haven't heard anything in a week."
Concerns like these beg the question: Is the Canvas Activity Log a reliable way to determine if a student is cheating on an assignment?
"Reviewing the activity log for students may prompt an opportunity to talk more between a professor and a student about the quiz, such as if a student stops viewing the quiz page because of in need of more time to understand the question or because of technical access," Liu said. "However, it's important to note that quiz actions may occur for a number of reasons that are permissible and do not infer cheating," Liu said.
The Canvas Activity Log, by definition, can be used to help students and professors communicate about any issues that may arise during a quiz or exam. Students who are already put under stress about online learning now may also have to deal with the possibility of being falsely accused of cheating.

Permanent Account Number abbreviated as PAN is a unique 10-digit alphanumeric number issued by the Income Tax Department to Indian taxpayers.
The department records all tax-related transactions and information of an individual against his unique permanent account number. This allows the taxman to link all tax-related activities with the department.
PAN primarily acts as a database for all individual transactions, such as the tax collected at source (TCS)/tax deducted at source (TDS) credits, income tax payments, return on gift/investments/wealth, etc. Simply put, the PAN enables the tax department to identify an individual's tax-related transaction.
PAN Card
The tax department issues an individual's PAN on a physical card referred to as the PAN card. The PAN card includes information, such as the PAN number, photograph, name, and date of birth of the holder.
PAN has a typical format of ABCTY1234D. The first three characters, i.e. 'ABC' in the above number is an alphabetic series ranging between AAA and ZZZ. The 4th character, i.e. 'T', represents the PAN holder's status. The alphabet 'T' represents Trust, 'F' for Firm, 'H' for HUF, 'P' for Individual, 'C' for Company etc. The 5th character, i.e. 'Y', represents the first alphabet the PAN holder's last name. The next four characters are sequential digits ranging between 0001 and 9999. The 10th character, i.e. 'D', is an alphabetic check digit that runs from A to Z.
Is PAN Mandatory?
The Income Tax Department has mandated the use of PAN on the return of income on all tax-related transactions. PAN is an integral aspect when it comes to tracking the transactions and monitoring the inflow and outflow of an individual's money.
Also, the government has mandated the linking of PAN with Aadhaar. The deadline for linking of PAN with Aadhaar is 31 March 2020. In the same line, the Finance Minister, in the Union Budget 2020, proposed to instantly allot PAN to individuals on the basis of their Aadhaar.

FEB Research Report MO_1201 vol:MO_1201
Although the influence of identity on consumer behavior has been documented in many streams of literature, the absence of a consistent definition of identity and of generally
accepted principles regarding the drivers of identity-based behavior complicates comparisons across these literatures. To resolve that problem, we propose a simple but inclusive definition of identity. Identity can be defined as any category label with which a consumer selfassociates
that is amenable to a clear picture of what a person in that category looks like, thinks, feels and does. Building from this definition, we propose the following five basic
principles that can help researchers model the process of identity formation and expression: (1) Identity Salience: identity processing increases when the identity is an active component of the self; (2) Identity Association: the non-conscious association of stimuli with a positive
and salient identity improves a person's response to the stimuli; (3) Identity Relevance: the deliberative evaluation of identity-linked stimuli depends on how diagnostic the identity is in the relevant domain; (4) Identity Verification: individuals monitor their own behaviors to manage and reinforce their identities; and (5) Identity Conflict: identity-linked behaviors help consumers manage the relative prominence of multiple identities. To illustrate the potential usefulness of these principles for guiding identity research, we discuss new avenues for identity research and explain how these principles could help guide investigations into these areas.

Creek Farm, a dairy near Hook comprising 120 cattle, needed to improve the energy use and efficiency of the dairy. The aim was to both reduce costs to the business as well as develop the environmental sustainability of the farm. They applied for a grant of 50% towards eligible costs to purchase a larger refrigeration system with heat recovery to improve efficiency.
Catherine Mitchell, a partner in the business, explained why this is so important, "Milk refrigeration is fundamental to the dairy business and efficiencies had to be made in order to maintain a viable dairy business, particularly as the current system was inefficient on energy saving and costly to the business".
Not only would the new refrigeration system reduce energy costs, it would also create energy via the heat recovery unit which could then be utilized on the farm, for example heating water to wash the dairy, further reducing costs. The project would also reduce haulage costs and emissions due to the larger refrigeration unit, meaning less need for such frequent collection of milk. This would also have a positive social impact, meaning there would be fewer large haulage vehicles on the rural roads and therefore also a reduction in food miles, making the end milk product more sustainable.

Korean needs 4.6 hectares of land for living
By Yi Whan-woo
Korea's ecological footprint, or its demand on the ecosystem, is 1.7 times greater than the global average, according to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
Each Korean requires 4.6 hectares of land to live on, exceeding the world's average of 2.7 hectares, the WWF said in the "Living Planet Report."
The nation placed 29th on the ecological footprint list of 149 countries.
An ecological footprint is a measure of how much biologically productive land and sea people require in order to absorb their waste and produce all the resources they consume. The higher the necessary amount, the longer it takes to regenerate biologically productive land and fishing grounds.
The major components of Korea's footprint were the amount of land and sea needed to offset carbon emissions and fishing.
The country with the highest footprint with 11.85 hectares per person was Qatar, followed by Kuwait with 9.72 hectares and the United Arab Emirates with 8.44 hectares.
The global average is expected to go up as China is undergoing rapid economic development. The country was ranked 72nd with 2.1 hectares per person.
The WWF report said the rate has increased since 1970s. The five biggest challenges the Earth faces are the loss of certain natural habitats, overexploitation of wild species' populations, pollution, climatic change and the increase of specific wildlife species.
It also said the Earth would need to be 1.5 times bigger to produce the resources people are consuming to avoid running out of them, adding it may need to be three times bigger by 2050.

August & March See More Divorces But Why?
What do August and March have in common? In most parts of the United States, the two months don't even have similar climates, so your answer might understandably be "nothing much." But according to a study conducted at the University of Washington, March and August are the top two months of the year during which Americans file for divorce.
The study analyzed all of the divorce filings in Washington from November 2001 to December 2015; the state has pretty open divorce laws, which made it easy for the researchers to gather the data. What they found was a clear peak in both March and August and a dramatic drop as the year wound to an end, especially in November and December. (Be sure to check out The Atlantic's article about the findings here.) While the numbers are certainly intriguing, they mean very little to researchers until the "why" behind them is answered.
Here are the top two speculated reasons why August and March might see the most divorces:
 1. Failed family vacation: Have you ever been on a family vacation that turned everyone's mood sour by the time the third or fourth day rolled around? Don't feel bad if you have! Most people get a sense of cabin fever when on a summer vacation sooner or later. But for someone who was thinking about calling their marriage quits, the frustrations of a July vacation might be the final push towards filing for divorce in August.
 2. Snow delay: In the holiday season, families are supposed to be closer than ever. At least, this is the idea that children are given through storybooks and classrooms, and it is the expectation of older relatives. Two spouses who want to divorce might be more likely to grit their teeth and bear it a while longer if the holiday season is around the corner or upon them. Rather than "ruining Christmas" they wait a little longer, let the festivities die down, and eventually decide to file in March. This notion would also explain why December sees so few divorce filings.
While speculating about the results of the study is surely intriguing, it does not really answer important questions for people going through or about to go through a divorce. For the legal guidance you need, you can contact the Law Offices of Evan Samuelson. Let our Roseville divorce lawyer know what is going on during an initial consolation and we can tell you what you should do next.

Ornamental crops, which include floriculture and nursery products, have been the fastest growing agricultural sector in North Carolina over the last decade. This colorful and diverse industry accounts for the highest percentage of total crop sales in the state surpassing traditional crops such as tobacco and cotton. North Carolina produced $841million worth of nursery and greenhouse crops in 2002 making it the eighth largest producer of floriculture crops and fifth largest producer of nursery crops in the United States. Floriculture crops include bedding/garden plants, perennials, cut flowers, potted flowering plants, and indoor foliage plants. Nursery crops include shrubs and trees, including broadleaf and coniferous evergreens, deciduous shade and flowering trees, and Christmas trees.
Because the value of ornamental horticulture products is derived from their appearance and size, market expectations for plant quality are very high and tolerances for pest damage are very low. Disease management in ornamental crop production can be extremely difficult. It is not uncommon to have 300 different plant species growing in one nursery. And to a large extent, crop production practices encourage the development and rapid spread of plant diseases. In both nursery and greenhouse production, plants tend to be tightly spaced to maximize the available growing space. Overhead irrigation is also a common practice. Both of these conditions contribute to creating an environment (high humidity, prolonged leaf wetness, poor light penetration) that is highly conducive to disease development of plant pathogens. Because disease development can be swift under these conditions, rapid diagnosis of plant problems is critical.
Nurseries and greenhouses are not isolated geographically, and the movement of both propagation and finished stock occurs across the globe. Due to this movement of plant material, ornamental crop production in North Carolina is faced with the constant threat of introducing exotic or regulated pathogens into our state on infested plant material or in potting substrates.

More information about disease in ornamentals is availble from the Plant Disease and Insect Clinic.

When working in a professional setting that requires precise gas control, selecting the appropriate lab gas regulators is essential for maintaining safety and accuracy in your operations. In order to make sure you come to an informed decision, review this list of key factors to consider when choosing the right lab gas regulators for your needs. By carefully evaluating these factors, you can ensure that your gas regulation equipment effectively fulfills its intended purposes.
Gas Type and Required Flow Rate
Different gases require specific lab gas regulators depending on their unique properties. Before you choose a regulator, it's important to determine the type of gas you will be working with, as well as the required flow rate.
It's best to consult the gas cylinder's label or the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to find this information. Once you know the gas type and flow rate, you can select a regulator designed for those specific conditions.
Pressure Range and Control Precision
Regulating pressure accurately is essential for a variety of applications. Make sure you select a gas regulator with the appropriate pressure range and control precision for your operations. The regulator should be able to handle both the maximum inlet pressure from the gas cylinder and the desired outlet pressure.
Additionally, the regulator should provide the level of control precision required for your specific application, such as maintaining constant pressure, allowing for gradual adjustments, or supporting rapid pressure changes.
Another crucial factor to consider when choosing a lab gas regulator is the materials used in the construction of the device. They should be compatible with the gas in use to ensure durability and prevent reactions that could compromise the safety or accuracy of the gas flow.
Common materials used in the manufacturing of lab gas regulators include brass, stainless steel, aluminum, and plastic. Be sure to select a regulator made from materials suitable for your intended gas type.
Of course, safety is paramount when dealing with pressurized gases, and choosing a gas regulator that incorporates appropriate safety features is crucial. Look for regulators that include pressure relief valves, gauge guards, and other mechanisms that protect the user and equipment from over-pressurization, leaks, or other potential hazards.
Ease of Use and Maintenance
The ease of use and maintenance of your gas regulator can significantly impact your workflow. Consider factors such as the regulator's mounting options, the ease of installation, and the simplicity of the user interface when determining the regulator that will best suit your needs.
Additionally, take into account the frequency and complexity of maintenance required to keep the regulator functioning optimally. A regulator that is easy to use and maintain will ensure smooth day-to-day operations and minimize workflow disruptions.

Lets say I am using IMAP IDLE to monitor changes in a mail folder.
The IMAP spec says that IDLE connections should only stay alive for 30 minutes max, but it is recommended that a lower number of minutes is selected - say 20 minutes, then cancel the idle and restart.
I am wondering what would happen if the mail contents changed between the idle canceling, and the new idle being created. An email could potentially be missed. Given that RECENT is a bit vague, this could lead to getting a message list before the old idle ends, and a new idle starts.
But this is almost the same as polling every 20 minutes, and defeats some of the benefit of idle.
Alternatively, a new idle session could be started prior to terminating the expiring one.
But in any case, I think this problem has already been solved so here I am asking for recommendations.

As you know, the purpose of IMAP IDLE command (RFC 2177) is to make it possible to have the server transmit status updates to the client in real time. In this context, status updates means untagged IMAP server responses such as EXISTS, RECENT, FETCH or EXPUNGE that are sent when new messages arrive, message status is updated or a message is removed.
However, these IMAP status updates can be returned by any IMAP command, not just the IDLE command - for example, the NOOP command (see RFC 3501 section 6.1.2) can be used to poll for server updates as well (it predates the IDLE command). IDLE only makes it possible to get these updates more efficiently - if you don't use IDLE command, server updates will simply be sent by the server when the client executes another command (or even when no command is in progress in some cases) - see RFC 3501 section 5.2 and 5.3 for details.
This means that if a message is changed between the IDLE canceling and the new IDLE command, the status updates should not be lost, just as they are not lost if you never used IDLE in the first place (and use NOOP every few seconds instead, for example) - they should simply be sent after the new IDLE command is started.

Why is it that notes "start" with C? In key signatures, for example, C Major is the basis and accidentals are added for all other key signatures. I know that the musical alphabet starts with A and goes to G, so why is C the base note of standard notation and keys? Why isn't A the basis?
Notes do not "start" with C; C major is just the easiest major key to notate in modern notation. The concept of a major key came about long after letters were assigned to the notes. Before there were major (and minor) keys, people used modes, usually just using the notes of the modern white keys and starting and ending in different places. The Ionian mode (which became modern major) was a late addition to the modes.
So it's historical accident that C major is treated as "basic."

Did RBG say speak your mind even if your voice shakes?
" Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes." The tributes to Ruth Bader Ginsburg's accomplishments abound and make for inspiring reading.
Why does my voice shake when I present?
' It's one of the most common speech anxiety symptoms. Many, many people suffer from a shaky voice and hands when nervous – and even shaky voice anxiety long before the presentation has begun. When our brain releases adrenaline, it increases our heart rate and causes shaky hands or voice, dry mouth and sweating.
What does it mean to speak your truth?
When Winfrey and others say, " Speak your truth," they typically mean something more like: Share your perspective, tell your story, open up about your experience. But in an America some call "posttruth," semantics matter.
How do you fix a shaky voice?
This problem is simply caused by irregular breathing. You can easily eliminate a shaking or cracking voice by slowing your speaking rate and gaining control of your breathing rate. Focus on someone comforting in the audience. Intentionally slow your speech, inhale, and lower the pitch of your voice as you continue.

Bird Brains and Spatial Degeneration
We know that all species that move need to orient themselves within their surroundings before they can find their way. But surprisingly, we know little about how this happens. Studies have shown that features like trees or buildings—and geometry, as in distance and direction—play fundamental roles. In fact, all species studied to date have shown what researchers call "an obligatory encoding of geometry." But does the type or amount of geometry encoded by the brain change over a lifespan?
Research has shown that aging affects how the left and right sides of the brain work to complete tasks. As people age, their cognitive abilities decline, including their ability to orient themselves when moving around. Yet most research on this issue is limited to studies of stationary participants.
As Canada Research Chair in Comparative Cognition, Dr. Debbie Kelly is examining the effects of aging on "hemispheric asymmetries" (relative functional differences between the left and right sides of the brain) using tasks we do every day. To do this, she is studying brain function in birds. Birds' brains work similarly to those of humans in that they use different hemispheres to perform different tasks. In fact, it is easier to examine the two brain hemispheres independently of each other in birds than in humans.
Kelly will learn how aging and ecology influence how birds encode and weigh spatial cues, and how the two brain hemispheres process that information. Ultimately, her research will combine the data she obtains from humans and animals to better understand spatial cognition, and may lead to developing a useful tool for the early detection of spatial degeneration disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease.

Sumela Monastery in Turkey
In Turkish: Sümela Manastırı; Panagia Soumela, "Virgin Mary of Soumela" in Greek) is a spectacular rock-hewn monastery perched dramatically on the narrow ledge of a steep cliff in the forests south of Trabzon. It was built in the fourth century, just before the Roman Empire split into east and west, by two Athenian priests, Barnabas and Sophronius, who, according to legend, found a miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary in a cave.
The monastery's location in this geopolitically tumultuous corner of the globe naturally saw times of trouble and fell into ruin numerous times throughout its history, with its most thriving times falling under Byzantine and Ottoman rule.
The twentieth century, however, was not kind to the monastery. It was abandoned following the chaos and inter-ethnic violence at the end of World War I, and the population transfer of Trabzon's (formerly Trebizond) Greek population back to Greece.
Its remote location gave it some sanctuary, but its frescoes still attracted the occasional casually hurled rock by a bored shepherd. The beautiful frescoes today suffer from decades of heart-wrenchingly pointless vandalism by travelers—judging from the various alphabets and names scrawled across these impressive religious works of art, it appears that just about every culture in the world has taken part in the desecration.
The buildings themselves have been fairly heavily restored in recent decades, as the Turkish government has stepped in to protect the monastery and to turn it into a museum.
The simplest way to get to the monastery is by tour, and you can find a tour in town by just asking any other traveler there (no tourist visits Trabzon without seeing Sümela). The monastery lies close to Maçka, about 30 km south of Trabzon, and those preferring to get to the monastery on their own means instead of taking a tour can get to Maçka by taking minibuses heading for Gümüşhane, Erzurum or other destinations south from Trabzon. The rest of the way, approximately 17 km to the actual site of monastery, can be done by dolmuşes from downtown Maçka, which will take you to the entrance of Altındere National Park (Milli Park). Then, the monastery is about half an hour walk away, which can be done through a forest trail, which was recently widened in order to cope with the ever increasing numbers of visitors, or along the tarmac road leading to the monastery.
Those approaching with their own vehicles can get as near as 300 meters to Sümela itself, where there is a car-park in front of Hagia Barbara Chapel.
Today the monastery's primary function is as a tourist attraction. It overlooks forests and streams, making it extremely popular for its aesthetic attraction as well as for its cultural and religious significance.
The monastery was founded in 386 AD during the reign of the Emperor Theodosius I (375 - 395), Legend has it that two priests undertook its creation after discovering a miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary in a cave on the mountain.
During its long history, the monastery fell into ruin several times and was restored by various emperors. During the 6th century, it was restored and enlarged by General Belisarius at the behest of Justinian.
It reached its present form in the 13th century after gaining prominence during the reign of Alexios III (1349 - 1390) of the Komnenian Empire of Trebizond, established in 1204. At that time, the monastery was granted an amount annually from imperial funds. During the time of Manuel III, son of Alexius III, and during the reigns of subsequent princes, Sümela gained further wealth from imperial grants. Following the conquest by theOttoman Sultan Mehmed II in 1461, it was granted the sultan's protection and given rights and privileges that were renewed by following sultans. The monastery remained a popular destination for monks and travelers through the years.
In 1682 and for a few decades, the monastery housed the Phrontisterion of Trapezous, a well-known Greek educational institution of the region.
The monastery was seized by the Russian Empire during the 1916-18 occupation of Trabzon.
The site was abandoned in 1923, following forced population exchanges between Greece and Turkey. The departing monks were not allowed to take any property with them, so they buried Sumela's famous icon under the floor of the monastery's St. Barbara chapel. In 1930, a monk secretly returned to Sumela and retrieved the icon, transferring it to the new Panagia Soumela Monastery, on the slopes of Mount Vermion, near the town of Naousa, in Macedonia, Greece.
As of 2012, the Turkish government is funding restoration work, and the monastery is enjoying a revival in pilgrimage from Greece and Russia.
On 15 August 2010, Orthodox divine liturgy was allowed to take place in the monastery compound. A special pass issued by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople is now required to visit on August 15, the day of the Dormition of the Theotokos or Feast of the Assumption, when a divine liturgy is held. Only 450 to 500 visitors are allowed inside the monastery, although widescreen televisions are available to observe the event at a cafe some hundred metres away from the monastery.
The principal elements of the Monastery complex are the Rock Church, several chapels, kitchens, student rooms, a guesthouse, a library, and a sacred spring revered by Eastern Orthodox Christians.
The large aqueduct at the entrance, which supplied water to the Monastery, is constructed against the side of the cliff. The aqueduct has many arches which have mostly been restored. The entrance to the Monastery leads up a long and narrow stairway. There is a guard-room next to the entrance. The stairs lead down from there to the inner courtyard. On the left, in front of a cave, there are several monastery buildings. The cave, which was converted into a church, constitutes the centre of the monastery. The library is to the right.
The large building with a balcony on the front part of the cliff was used for the monks' cells and for housing guests. It dates from 1840.
The influence of Turkish art can be observed in the design of the cupboards, niches and fireplace in the rooms of the buildings surrounding the courtyard.
The inner and outer walls of the Rock Church and the walls of the adjacent chapel are decorated with frescoes. Frescoes dating from the era ofAlexios III of Trebizond line the inner wall of the Rock Church facing the courtyard. The frescoes of the chapel which were painted on three levels in three different periods are dated to the beginning of the 18th century. The frescoes of the bottom band are of superior quality.
The frescoes of the Sümela Monastery are seriously damaged. The main subject of the frescoes are biblical scenes telling the story of Christ and the Virgin Mary.

The Costa's Hummingbird is named for the French nobleman Louis Marie Pantaleon Costa, and this particular species of hummingbird is native to parts of the desert southwest in the United States and sections of northern Mexico.
The Costa's Hummingbird's normal heart rate is between 500 and 900 beats per minute. At night, when the bird goes into a state of torpor, which is similar to hibernation, the heart rate can go as low as 50 beats per minute.
It is quite often difficult for researchers to study this particular species of hummingbird. The reason for this is due to the close resemblance of the young and the female Costa's hummingbird to two other types within their range—the Anna's and the Black-chinned hummingbird.

ISO 10014 Quality Management Guidelines for realizing financial and economic benefits of ISO 9001
ISO publishes a guide to help your organization increase the ROI of its QMS:
ISO 10014 Quality Management Guidelines for realizing financial and economic benefits
It provides guidelines for achieving financial and economic benefits from the application of the ISO 9000 Quality Management Principles:
- Customer focus
- Engagement of people
- Process approach
- Evidence-based decision making
- Relationship management
Like ISO 9001, ISO 10014 requires the involvement of top management and works in conjunction with ISO 9004 for performance improvements. It provides examples of achievable benefits and outlines tools to realize them.
A PDCA based improvement cycle is displayed for each quality management principle that lists activities for each Plan-Do-Check-Act stage. The eight examples provide outputs for each QM principle which provide benefits to the organization.
Economic benefit – Improved processes usually result in better resource management, improved customer relationships, and the overall worth of an organization.
Financial benefit – A direct result of organizational improvement expressed in financial terms and realized by cost-effective management practices.
…and it includes a Gap Checklist and Evaluation Tool!
Annex A includes a self-assessment as a gap analysis and prioritization tool. The questionnaire describes five maturity levels for assessing your current management system and determining which principle should be selected for improvement.
Like ISO 9004, ISO 10014 is a guideline with recommendations, not a set of requirements for which you would seek certification.
Organizations are recognizing that an effective Quality Management System leads to reduced costs and greater operating margins through:
- Improved product reliability
- Better process control and flow
- Better documentation of processes,
- Greater employee quality awareness
- Reductions in product scrap, rewords and rejections

The Vineyard Movement is a combination renewal and church-planting movement which can also be considered a Christian denomination. While often considered charismatic, they prefer the term empowered evangelicals to reflect their roots in traditional Evangelicalism, as opposed to historic Pentecostalism (though they sometimes describe themselves as the radical middle between the two). Vineyard philosophy has also played a key role in the development of transformationalism.

The latest research to influence the evolution of Chemical and Process Engineering is explored by eminent academics and industrialists invited from the global research community.
Hydrodynamic interactions and mass transfer in suspensions – a particle's perspective
Many chemical engineering processes rely on mass transfer between a solids phase and a liquid phase. Agitation and fluidization of dense solid-liquid suspensions are common ways of enhancing transfer rates. Slip velocities between the phases contribute to the transport of species towards and away from the solid-liquid interfaces. We present detailed simulations of flow dynamics and mass transfer in dense suspensions with explicit resolution of the solid-liquid interfaces. Challenges we face relate to the high Schmidt numbers usually associated with liquids which ask for dedicated numerical methods for sufficient resolution of the (fine) mass-transfer boundary layers, and to handling interactions between non-spherical particles in dense suspensions.

An archaeologist investigating a chultun
Entrance to chultun at Xunantunich.
A chultun (plural: chultunob' or chultuns) is a bottle-shaped underground storage chamber built by the pre-Columbian Maya in southern Mesoamerica. Their entrances were surrounded by plastered aprons which guided rainwater into them during the rainy seasons. Most of these archaeological features likely functioned as cisterns for potable water.
Chultunob' were typically constructed in locations where naturally occurring cenotes[1] were absent (such as the Puuc hills, which sit hundreds of feet above the Yucatán Peninsula aquifer). While many were constructed to collect water, not all may have served that purpose. Some may have been used for storage of perishable comestibles, or for the fermentation of alcoholic beverages. After a chultun ended its usefulness, many were used for discarding refuse or for human burials. This makes chultunob' an excellent source of information on both the life and death of ancient settlements of the Prehispanic Maya.

Recently, we covered some exciting research being pursued by the University of Southampton relating to the use of 3D printing for the creation of uniquely shaped fiber optics. Though their technique will likely involve the selective laser sintering of pure glass powder, it has been brought to my attention by one 3DPI reader that Southampton's project is not the first to unite 3D printing and fiber optics. In fact, a team of researchers at the University of Sydney may have been the first to create fiber optics with 3D printing.
From the video below, you'll see that the process for creating optic fibers is a tedious, expensive, and time-intensive one. To create a single fiber, a long glass tube is heated to the point that silica and germanium particles are formed within, eventually forming a preform.


Typed Document
Don't want to worry about the complexities of EDI?
"The developer can now spend more of his time on the business rules that he needs to accomplish and not have to worry about all the intricacies of dealing with the EDI"
TypedDocuments removes all complexities from creating HIPAA EDI documents. It allows the creation of HIPAA EDI documents without worrying about elements, delimiters and many other EDI nuances.
EDIFileStructureRelated Tutorials
Main Features
 - Use feature-rich HIPAA objects like X125010Document to quickly create EDI documents
 - Use high level objects like ISA, GS, ST, CLM, IEA etc
 - Just set properties instead of worrying about elements, positions, segments and delimiters
 - Seamlessly use composite elements
 - Auto placement of # of segments, # of transactions and # of functional groups in the SE, GE and IEA segments
 - Adjusts element values in ISA segments to meet 5010 length requirements
 - Cut HIPAA EDI development time in half
 - Generate actual EDI data with one procedure call
 - Extensible model that allows custom documents and segments creation
If you've ever created an object and set its properties then you can create HIPAA EDI documents. Typed Documents (X125010Document) enables developers to quickly create HIPAA EDI documents without the EDI formatting complexity.
The X125010Document supports all HIPAA implementation guides and EDI document creation is intuitive since it follows the same loop structure. There is an object for each 5010 segment like ISA, GS, ST, PAT, HI etc. Just set properties on the object and they will be translated to HIPAA format when you generate the file.
Avoid the Details of EDI formats
Typed Documents take care of annoying things like empty trailing elements and empty trailing composite elements. These can actually result in EDI files errors and file rejections. Element, composite and segment separators are automatically added at the correct places resulting in a flawless EDI file.
Avoid Worrying about ISA Segment Minimum and Maximum Length Requirements
The ISA segment is special in the X12 standard. It is fixed length and contains metadata. EDI Parsers use this metadata to correctly parse EDI files. If this segment is not created correctly a failure to read the entire EDI file will occur. Typed Documents will correctly pad or trim your element data to conform to the X12 5010 HIPAA standard.
Auto Placement of Number of Segments, Transactions and Functional Headers
SE segments must contain the total amount of segments used within that specific header. Typed Documents will automatically keep a count of the number of segments used in the header and goes as far as to actually enter that data in the SE segment. Additionally the number of ST transactions and GS Functional Groups are also tracked and added to the GE and IEA segments
Typed Documents takes care of the following counting scenarios:
 1. Adding the correct number of segments in SE segments (X12)
 2. Adding the correct number of transactions in GE segments (X12)
 3. Adding the correct number of functional groups in IEA segments (X12)
Easily Extendable
Typed Documents have an easy to understand model that make it easy to extend. Custom typed documents and segments can easily be created to support any X12 standard. For example, 4010 typed documents can be created and automatically integrate with the Typed Documents infrastructure.
Code: Creating a Typed Document
After document setup only one method call is needed to generate 100% accurate actual EDI data
Generate EDI Data

An all-electric BMW 18-wheeler truck is on the road in Germany
BMW emblem
Some new trucks will be sporting these.
Published This article is more than 2 years old.
The electric vehicle revolution came to the streets of Munich, Germany this week in the form of a 40-ton, all-electric, 18-wheeler truck.
The latest in BMW's line of electric vehicles, the vehicle can travel 62 miles (100 kilometers) with a full battery, requires 3 to 4 hours to fully charge, and will exclusively be powered "with electricity from renewable sources," the German auto giant says.
The truck will be used by the car company to transport vehicle components two miles across Munich seven times a day. BMW has test-driven the truck and says it is optimistic that it will be able to go a full working day on a single charge.
As countries reduce emissions with alternative energy sources, the European Commission has found that transportation is the only large sector in the EU in which greenhouse gases continue to rise. Though emissions fell by 3.3% in 2012, they are still 20.5% higher than they were in 1990. About a fifth of the EU's CO2 emissions come from road transportation, and while most of that comes from "light-duty" vehicles, cars, and vans, 6% of all CO2 emissions in Europe can be traced back to "heavy-duty" vehicles, trucks and buses.
Compared with a regular diesel-fueled truck, the all-electric truck will save an estimated 11.8 tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere annually, BMW says.
Still, the limited range of the electric truck means that it won't be practical for the longer hauls that are characteristic of American truck driving.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to a standstill, challenging healthcare systems in unprecedented ways. In the midst of this crisis, midwifery departments faced their own unique set of challenges. As the demand for healthcare services surged and the landscape shifted rapidly, midwifery departments turned to agency staff as a lifeline to ensure the continuation of essential care.
The pandemic hit hard and fast, causing seismic shifts in healthcare dynamics. Midwifery departments, traditionally known for providing personalised and compassionate care, had to adapt swiftly to the new reality. Expectant mothers still needed care, but with the added complexities and risks posed by COVID-19.
Enter agency staff – experienced midwives who were ready to answer the call. They played a pivotal role in several key aspects of midwifery department responses during the pandemic:
Agency staff were instrumental in maintaining adequate staffing levels, ensuring that midwifery departments could continue to provide essential services despite staff shortages due to illness, quarantine, or the need to redirect resources to COVID-19 units.
With guidelines for maternal care rapidly evolving to account for the risks associated with COVID-19, agency staff brought flexibility and adaptability to midwifery departments. They were quick to embrace new protocols, ensuring that expectant mothers received care that was both safe and compassionate.
The pandemic created surges in patient numbers, putting additional pressure on midwifery departments. Agency staff were readily available to help manage the increased caseload, preventing burnout among permanent staff and ensuring that no patient went without care.
COVID-19 introduced new complexities, including the need for specialised care in cases where expectant mothers were infected with the virus. Agency staff, often with diverse backgrounds and skill sets, were equipped to step into these specialised roles when required.
Agency staff bolstered the overall resilience of midwifery departments during the pandemic. Their presence provided a safety net, ensuring that even when the situation seemed dire, essential care remained a priority.
Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of agency staff's contribution during the pandemic was their unwavering commitment to the human side of midwifery care. Despite the chaos and uncertainty, they maintained the personal connections that are the hallmark of midwifery. In a time when physical distancing was crucial, agency midwives provided the emotional support that expectant mothers needed more than ever.
The COVID-19 pandemic tested the mettle of midwifery departments around the world. Through the dedication and adaptability of agency staff, these departments were able to navigate uncharted waters and continue providing essential care. As we move forward, let's not forget the valuable lessons learned during this crisis and the indispensable role that agency staff play in the resilience of midwifery departments, ensuring that mothers and babies receive the care they deserve, even in the face of unprecedented challenges.


Duhaime's Law Dictionary
Quid Pro Quo Definition:
Latin: something for something.
Related Terms: Contract Law, Consideration
Some American jurists have suggested that quid pro quo stands for the consideration of a contract; that it refers to the requirement that something be exchanged, flow to each of the contracting party, for there to be a valid contract.
Viz., Ballentine's Law Dictionary:
Quid pro quo: The consideration for a contract. That which is supplied by one party in consideration of that which is supplied by the other party."
As a further example of the use of the term quid pro quo in law, consider the suggestion of Canadian author Catherine McKinnnon who describes a variety of workplace sexual harassment she calls quid pro quo harassment: job benefits onditioned on availability of sex or physical contact, refusal leading to discharge, discipline or negative recommendations for promotion.
But that phrase had long become part of American law. For example, these words of Justice Holloway of the United States Court of Appeals in Hicks v Gates Rubber:
"The gravamen of a quid pro quo sexual harassment claim is that tangible job benefits are conditioned on an employee's submission to conduct of a sexual nature and that adverse job consequences result from the employee's refusal to submit to the conduct."
 - Hicks v Gates Rubber, 833 F. 2d 1406 (1987)
 - MacKinnon, Catherine, Sexual Harassment of Working Women (Toronto: Yale University Press, 1979). Referred to in Foisy c. Bell Canada, 18 D.L.R. (4th) 222 (1984, QCSC)

How to Transfer Apps to New Android from old Android Device
In this article we will learn how to transfer the apps to a new android device from an old android device. The methods will tell how to transfer apps from android in built feature and restore feature. Or maybe using the Samsung smart switch mobile app if you already have it on your device. Therefore, in the instructions we cover the Android pie 9.0, Oreo 8.0, Nougat 7.0 and android devices from all the manufacturers.
Transfer apps to a new android phone using the Android backup and restoring feature
The simplest method to transfer your apps from android to android. It is by backing up your old device, and restoring the function on the new phone. Firstly, you need see if your new device is backing up your data or not, to do so you have to:
 1. Go on to the Settings.
 2. Tap on the System by scrolling down.
 3. Select the Backup option (You might have to expand the Advanced section before that).
 4. Check and see if the toggle of the Back up to Google Drive is on, if you see it is on then you are ready!
 5. If the toggle is off then slide it to make it on and Back up now.
 6. Hence, you are all set after the backup is complete.
Restoring your data to the new phone
Now you are all set to restore the data to your new android phone from the old one through this method. However, if you have not yet restored your data you can now restore it including all the apps during this process.
 1. Make sure to charge your new android device and power it up. Follow the instructions from the screen till it asks you to restore the data from another device. However, you can always opt to start it as a brand-new clean slate, but restoring some data will be helpful for you in the future.
 2. Tap on the Copy Your Data and select the device from which you have to restore the data.
 3. Then your android device will ask you to connect to a Wi-Fi network. Be sure that you connected to the same network as your old device is.
 4. Now you will be seeing the restore option on the screen of your phone. Select either A Back up from an android phone or A Back up from the cloud or drive.
 5. Use your old phone only and sign into your google account.
 6. Here you will see the list of the options to back up including your old device.
 7. Now choose the right one or correct one and tap Restore. So that you can transfer all the data and setting from your old device. Tap on the Apps you wish to transfer from your old device to your new device.
 8. Hence, now you can continue with your setting up process, while your data is restoring in the background.
Use the Samsung Smart Switch mobile App
Therefore, if you have a Samsung S7 or other version, then smart switch app is already in that in your device, for your old device you can download this app from the app store. And then follow the instructions from the screen and download it. You can select this app to transfer your data from any android phone which has android marshmallow 6.0 to a Samsung phone.
Therefore, to get into the app on S7 or later version, tap on Settings > Accounts > Smart switch, for any different phone look in the app drawer for the app.
There are three ways which you can use with Smart Switch: USB cable, Wirelessly, or external storage. The most straightforward method is transferring the apps wirelessly.
 1. Open Smart Switch on your new device.
 2. Choose Wireless > Receive > Android.
 3. Now open Smart Switch on your old phone.
 4. Tap on Wireless > Send.
 5. Follow the screen instructions on your new phone.
From the USB cable
 1. Plug in the USB of your old device.
 2. Now connect that cable to the Samsung USB connector.
 3. Here you will now plug in the Samsung USB connector into your new device.
 4. Open Smart Switch on your old device.
 5. On your old phone adjust the USB settings to Media Device (MTP).
 6. Follow the screen instructions to move the apps.
Using the external storage (SD card)
Insert the SD card or connect your phone to the USB storage device in which you have the apps for restoring. And follow the instructions on the screen.
Samsung also provides the Smart Switch app for Mac. and Windows, installs and opens the desktop app and then connects the phone to the computer. Therefore, now follow the screen instructions to transfer the apps and the data right from the device you want it to.
Some considerations:
For the other apps that are not from Google, you will have to recheck if they are backing up the Google drive. However, it can be helpful especially if you want to save the chat history, usually, the popular apps have this. Your data will only sync properly if you sign in to all your Google devices. If you wish to save the bookmarks and the password then you have to be signed in to all the Google devices. Go on to the browser setting in sign-in from there if you have not signed in already. Therefore, this is how you will share apps from android to android.
Frequently Asked Question
Q. How do I transfer apps from old phone to new android?
A. Launch the Google Play Store. Tap the menu icon, then tap "My apps and games." You'll be shown a list of apps that were on your old phone. Pick the ones you want to migrate (you might not want to move brand-specific or carrier-specific apps from the old phone to the new), and download them
Q. How do I transfer everything to my new Android phone?
A. Switch to a new Android phone
 1. Charge both phones.
 2. Make sure you can unlock the old phone with a PIN, pattern, or password.

Researcher at Duke-NUS Medical School
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak in December 2019, a substantial body of COVID-19 medical literature has been generated. As of May 2020, gaps in the existing literature remain unidentified and, hence, unaddressed. In this paper, we summarise the medical literature on COVID-19 between 1 January and 24 March 2020 using evidence maps and bibliometric analysis in order to systematically identify gaps and propose areas for valuable future research. The examined COVID-19 medical literature originated primarily from Asia and focussed mainly on clinical features and diagnosis of the disease. Many areas of potential research remain underexplored, such as mental health research, the use of novel technologies and artificial intelligence, research on the pathophysiology of COVID-19 within different body systems, and research on indirect effects of COVID-19 on the care of non-COVID-19 patients. Research collaboration at the international level was limited although improvements may aid global containment efforts.

Environmental non-governmental organizations are becoming increasingly visible players in China's environmental politics. Adopting a field perspective, this article shows how the rise of environmental NGOs has taken place in interactions with four institutional fields. They not only respond to political conditions, but also to opportunities offered by the media, the internet, and international NGOs. In this process, organizational entrepreneurs play a crucial role in mobilizing resources while other individuals participate in search of self-fulfillment or social experience. These arguments underscore the multi-institutional dynamics of civil society development without underestimating state-centered and market-centered explanations. In conclusion, the article discusses how environmental NGOs can serve as both sites and agents of democratic social change in China.

The use of a hand-held mobile telephone means:
- Using at least one hand to hold a mobile phone to make a call;
- Dialing a mobile phone by pressing more than a single button; or
- Reaching for a mobile phone in a manner that requires a driver to maneuver so that he or she is no longer in a seated driving position, restrained by a seat belt.
What does this rule mean to drivers and carriers?
- Fines and Penalties – Using a hand-held mobile phone while driving a CMV can result in driver disqualification. Penalties can be up to $2,750 for drivers and up to $11,000 for employers who allow or require drivers to use a hand-held communications device while driving.
- Disqualification – Multiple violations of the prohibition of using a hand-held mobile phone while driving a CMV can result in a driver disqualification by FMCSA. Multiple violations of State laws prohibiting use of a mobile phone while driving a CMV is a serious traffic violation that could result in a disqualification by a State of drivers required to have a Commercial Drivers License.
- What are the risks? – Using a hand-held mobile phone is risky because it requires the driver to reach for and dial the phone to make a call. Reaching for a phone out of the driver's immediate area is risky as well as dialing because these actions take the driver's eyes off the roadway.
- The rule applies to drivers operating a commercial motor vehicle on a roadway, including moving forward or temporarily stationary because of traffic, traffic control devices, or other momentary delays.
- A mounted phone is acceptable as long as it is mounted close to the driver.
- Impact on Safety Measurement System (SMS) Results – Violations negatively impact SMS results, and they carry the maximum severity weight.
Make sure the mobile telephone is within close enough proximity that it is operable while the driver is restrained by properly installed and adjusted seat belts.
- Use an earpiece or the speaker phone function.
- Use voice-activated dialing.
- Use the hands-free feature. To comply, a driver must have his or her mobile telephone located where he or she is able to initiate, answer, or terminate a call by touching a single button. The driver must be in the seated driving position and properly restrained by a seat belt. Drivers are not in compliance if they unsafely reach for a mobile phone, even if they intend to use the hands-free function.
No Call, No Text, No Ticket!

Below is a basic overview of StarTip's widgets and how you can take full control over your widget by referencing the local member'self'.
If you want to stop a repeating widget from updating, just use
Do not do self:Update() ;) I may place a safeguard in place to prevent this bomb from occurring.
Let's start with the Text widget.
1 ) First of all, your widget has a name. Reference that with'self.name'.
2 ) Your widget has an error object that will print some message, paying attention to StarTip's set error verboseness. Usage: self.error:Print("Error", 2)
3 ) You can change your widget's code string by referencing'self.value'
4 ) Your widget can have a 'prefix' and a 'postfix'
5 ) Each widget has a'self.color'
6 ) Each widget has a precision, which isn't actually working at the moment. But you should be able to modify how many digits are shown in numeric returns.
7 ) Each widget has an 'align' member, which can be changed by using
WidgetText.ALIGN_LEFT, WidgetText.ALIGN_CENTER, WidgetText.ALIGN_RIGHT, WidgetText.ALIGN_MARQUEE, WidgetText.ALIGN_AUTOMATIC, WidgetText.ALIGN_PINGPONG = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 self.align = WidgetText.ALIGN_LEFT
8 ) Each widget has an 'update' member which is used to adjust how fast the widget updates. Note that setting this value to 0 will stop the timer all together.
9 ) Each widget has a'repeating' member. If false then self:Update() will only be called once once self:Start() is called internally.
10 ) Each widget has a'speed' member. This value is used to determine how fast marquee text will scroll. Note that setting this value to 0 will stop the timer all together.
11 ) Each widget has a 'direction' member.
WidgetText.SCROLL_RIGHT, WidgetText.SCROLL_LEFT = 1, 2 self.direction = WidgetText.SCROLL_RIGHT
12 ) Each widget has a 'cols' member, indicating how many character cells wide the marquee text should be.
13 ) Each widget has a 'dontRtrim' member, indicating whether to trim whitespace to the right of the resulting text or not.
Lastly you can feed self:Init(config) with all new parameters. I don't see this being very useful though. You would have to provide all fields at once.

Let $B_t$ be a standard Brownian motion on $\mathbb R$ started at $0$. For $A\subset\mathbb R$ Lebesgue measurable, let $\mu_T(A) = \frac{1}{T} m(t \leq T: B_t \in A)$, where $m$ is Lebesgue measure. Then $\mu_T$ is a random measure on $\mathbb R$. Do the random measures $\mu_T$ converge, in any reasonable sense, as $T\rightarrow \infty$? If so, what is the limit measure?
I know that the event that $\mu_T \rightarrow \mu$ for some fixed deterministic measure $\mu$ is a tail event (it is in the intersection of the $\sigma$-algebras $\sigma(B_t : t \geq s)$). Therefore its probability is either 0 or 1. Beyond that, however, I do not have any real ideas as to how to approach this.

Definition - What does Home Key mean?
The Home key is a key found on most physical and virtual keyboards and is supported by most operating systems. The Home key is supported by certain software applications as well. The primary functionality of the Home key in most applications is to return the cursor to the beginning of a line, document, page, screen or worksheet cell based on the position of the cursor.
Techopedia explains Home Key
The Home key helps in navigation of applications or a word processing programs. It is most commonly used to make the cursor move to the beginning of the line in a text editing program. The Home key has the opposite functionality of the End key.
Keyboards which do not have a Home key, usually due to limited size, can achieve the same functionality with the combination of a function key and the left arrow key. If a document is not editable, the Home key can help in scrolling the scrollable document to the beginning in operating systems like Microsoft and Linux. This is in addition to the functionality involving text editing applications, where the Home key can help return the cursor to the beginning of the document or the current line. Along with other function keys, the Home key can provide different functions like selecting all characters in a selectable text before the cursor, by pressing a combination of the Home and Shift keys simultaneously. In software applications, the Home key can have different functions such as reaching the menu screen.

Douglas Acquah-Hagan; Spencer Aggrey-Bosu, pp. 74. MAM/Sektionen för Management, 2011.
This case study uses qualitative and quantitative analyses to examine the impact of the annual audits undertaken by the Audit Commission (hereafter the AC) at London Borough of Lambeth (LBL) on its management control system (MCS). The analysis reviews the audits undertaken between the years 2000 and 2010 and analyses the management reaction to these results to identify the impact on MCS.
The objective of the research was achieved by developing research questions which served as a research framework. The study focused primarily on three research questions: (1) have the audit scores of the AC influenced MCSs at LBL?; (2) how has the audit scores of the annual audits completed by the AC influenced the MCS of LBL?; and (3) why has the audit scores of the annual audits completed by the AC influenced MCS at LBL?. The theoretical framework used in this study focused on three bodies of literature: the work of the Audit Commission, auditing and audits scores, and MCSs. The thesis used content analysis to analyse LBL's submissions; audit results and recommendations; and improvement plans. Data for the analysis were collected via documentation, archival records, interviews, and direct and participant observation.
As a local government authority, LBL receives most of its annual finance from central government to deliver services to local residents and businesses. As a result the central government, through the AC, audits them every year to ensure that they are effective and efficient with their resources. Between the years 2000 and 2004, LBL audit scores were one star out of possible four stars and this represented considerable risk to its continuous survival. It is worth noting that a council with more than three consecutive score of one star is classified as a failing organisation and that council is taken into 'special measures' – a situation where the central government takes administrative control of the council. The trend of audit scores at LBL had indicated the council needed to improve in the areas of:
- Financial planning and monitoring;
- Service performance improvement in areas such as cultural services;
- Performance management processes; and
- Use of resources and internal capabilities.
After the audit recommendation of 2004, the council developed an improvement plan. This led to the implementation of the new financial control systems, performance management procedure and personnel control system. LBL's performance measurement imitates the balanced scorecard approach developed by Kaplan and Norton (1992). The reactions at LBL are congruent with the findings of Asel (2009) which demonstrated that organisations with high perceived uncertainty are more likely to change their MCS.
The research objectives limited the study scope which has opened opportunities for future research in local authorities such as: MCS as a package; the influence of other stakeholder; trade union contribution to MCS; and organisational leadership at local authorities. It is also worth noting that the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) is in a consultation process with an intention to outsource the work of the AC with effect from 2012/13 audits (_URL_).

Correct. Common strategy is to either persist a setting into application settings or to save a value to a file at the very end of the process.
The logic becomes:
1. Is my special value there?
2. Yes - great, database is populated, business as usual
3. Nope - OK, load up the database
4. Last step after loading up the databes, set my special value
In the emulator if you rebuild or close and open then yes, you'll end up in steps 3 - 4.

Drink, strong - Bible References
3 occurrences in 3 dictionaries
Reference: Drink, Strong
(Heb shekar'), an intoxicating liquor (Jg 13:4; Lu 1:15; Isa 5:11; Mic 2:11) distilled from corn, honey, or dates. The effects of the use of strong drink are referred to in Ps 107:27; Isa 24:20; 49:26; 51:17-22. Its use prohibited, Pr 20:1. (See Wine.)
See Verses Found in Dictionary
shechar. Any intoxicating beverage, wine especially from the grape (compare Nu 28:7 with Ex 29:40). Strong drink was extracted from other fruit also, as the pomegranate (Song 8:2). Beer was made from barley, lupin, skirrett, and other herbs being substituted for hops. Spices were mingled with it (Isa 5:22). Cider, or "apple wine," is noticed in the Mishna, Terum, 2, section 2. Honey wine was a mixture of wine, honey, and pepper, also a concoction from the grape called debaash by the Hebrew, by modern Syrians dibs, wine, milk or water being added. Date wine also was made in Egypt. The Speaker's Commentary explains the proverbial phrase, De 29:19, "so that the soul that is drunken with sin carry away that which thirsts for sin." "Drinking iniquity like water himself (Job 15:16), he corrupts others thirsting for it."
See Verses Found in Dictionary
Drink, Strong.
The Hebrew term shecar, in its etymological sense, applies to any beverage that had intoxicating qualities. With regard to the application of the term in later times we have the explicit statement of Jerome, as well as other sources of information, from which we may state the that following beverages were known to the Jews:--
1. Beer, which was largely consumed in Egypt under the name of zythus, and was thence introduced into Palestine. It was made of barley; certain herbs, such as lupine and skirret, were used as substitutes for hops.
2. Cider, which is noticed in the Mishna as apple wine.
3. Honey wine, of which there were two sorts, one consisting of a mixture of wine, honey and pepper; the other a decoction of the juice of the grape, termed debash (honey) by the Hebrews, and dibs by the modern Syrians.
4. Date wine, which was also manufactured in Egypt. It was made by mashing the fruit in water in certain proportions.
5. Various other fruits and vegetables are enumerated by Pliny as supplying materials for factitious or home-made wine, such as figs, millet, the carob fruit, etc. It is not improbable that the Hebrews applied raisins to this purpose in the simple manner followed by the Arabians, viz., by putting them in jars of water and burying them in the ground until fermentation took place.


Power of the mind powers Auckland tech inventor
By Siobhan Leathley
MindAngel inventor and current student of engineering at the University of Auckland, Song Xing. Photo / Supplied
A University of Auckland engineering student has developed futuristic software which he says will allow people make calls or send texts without even moving or speaking.
To use MindAngel, a person places a wireless hairband around their head, containing three electrodes measuring and recording brain activity. The wearer then looks at a panel containing numbers 0-9, and letters A-Z.
The band decodes these thoughts and translates them into words or actions, the same way an EEG machine does. This should give the ability to call a friend on a smartphone and talk without moving or physically speaking.
Gamers can use it to interact with video and computer games by using the technology to control characters.
MindAngel chief executive and developer Song Xing said it communicates with most electrical devices including computers, electrical wheelchairs and Bluetooth devices.
So far he has spent $200,000 researching and developing this. His scholarship from the University of Auckland and the Chinese Government paid for half; the university's mechanical engineering department paid the remaining $100,000.
To ensure this money is well spent. Professor Shane Xie closely monitors Xing's progress.
He said other groups around the world are also developing this technology, but Xing is the most successful so far.
The next step after the MindAngel band is manufactured is to move into building robotic limbs for amputees.
The artificial limbs will be connected to the MindAngel band enabling amputees to walk, run and hug again.
"I want to help disabled people stand up again.
"They think: I want to move my arm, and they can move their arm."
He will begin focusing on researching this in November.
Xie confirms it is possible the technology will be able to do this, but it will take a lot of hard work to achieve.
"It's possible, but how effective it will be will depend on the research."
Xing's interest began three years ago, when he was studying electrical engineering in China.
"I wanted to know whether there was an engineering way to find out human intentions."
He developed this further, and in 2010 started his PhD research project on this. Now he spends each day in one of the university's labs developing this.
When he graduates he plans to focus on growing MindAngel.
"I treat MindAngel as a child; I want to focus on making it better, faster and stronger."
MindAngel is also competing in the Spark 100k Challenge - a student-led initiative recognising and encouraging young entrepreneurs. Winner of the challenge gets $25,000 in seed capital and six-months' incubation at The Icehouse.
He expects the MindAngel device will sell for around $500.

Concerto for Horn and Wind band.
In the Chinese mythology there are four heavenly animals.
- The Chinese Dragon
- The Phoenix
- The Turtle
- Ki-Lin (unicorn)
In this concerto for horn all of these heavenly animals are presented. The hornist is a kind of storyteller and evaluates to a mythical creature as well. The concerto contains four movements:
1. The Chinese Dragon – (Long)
The Chinese dragon is one of the four heavenly animals and would also be the founder of the Imperial Family.
Dragon Queens provides rain, rivers, lakes and seas. They represent wisdom, strength and goodness. An angry Long Wang causes storm, fog and earthquakes. He protects fishermen and watercourse, but punishes wasters of water. One of them is Pan Long, it lives in the ocean. It seems to be the seahorse we all know today.
2. The Phoenix – (Feng Huang)
His song would be the source of the Chinese scale. Feng Huang lives with Ki-Lin (see also 4th movement) in the Hills of Vermilion. Only in peaceful times, or when a great wise or good emperor is born, the Feng Huang leaves the Land of Immortals to announce prosperity, accompanied by many other birds who honour him as the most beautiful.
3. The Turtle – (Wugui)
The Turtle is one of the animals who was involved in the origin of the earth. It is seen as an oracle.
4. The Unicorn – (Ki Lin)
The unicorn is an animal with male (Ki) and female (Lin) powers. It's voice is like a church bell. It was born in the heart of the earth and lives behind the clouds. It appears only to announce important events or births. (Just like Feng Huang (2nd movement)).

With PicsArt's newly-designed Color Chooser, you can find the exact color you're looking for. You now have two different methods to do so, plus the option to save colors on your customized color palette.
To learn about how to use the new Color Chooser to find your perfect color, check out the video below.
When you open the Color Chooser, your first option is to use the HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) model. First, select your hue by tapping your finger on the outer color wheel. This will change the value on the H slider. Once you have selected your color, select the saturation and brightness by tapping on the inner square. As you move the cursor throughout the square, you'll see the saturation and brightness sliders moving. Once you've made your selection, you can make minor adjustments using the sliders to find the perfect color. Tap the checkmark to confirm your color choice before using it.
To switch to the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) model, simply tap RGB and an alternative set of sliders will appear. Once again, select the color you'd like to use by tapping the outer color wheel. As you move through the color wheel, you'll notice that the R, G, and B slider values change. For example, when you select red, the R slider will jump to 255, while the G and B sliders fall down to 0. Next, select the shade you'd like to use by tapping in the inner square. Once you've made a selection, you can fine-tune the color using the sliders. Tap the checkmark to confirm your color choice before using it.
After you've found the perfect color, save it by tapping the grid icon. Your custom color palette will appear, and you can select an empty square to save your color. You can always come back to your saved color palette for a quick color pick.

Two new research studies, published in the Journal of Nutrition and the International Journal of Circumpolar Health, (IJCH) have shown that more than half of Inuit pre-school aged children in Nunavut, Canada, are not receiving adequate amounts of their daily nutritional needs.
Data for the reports was collected as part of the Inuit Health Survey for International Polar Year, held in 2007-2008. That year marked the occasion's third occurrence since it was first created as international research collaboration in 1882.
The study published in the Journal of Nutrition is based on data collected from 1,901 households, while the IJCH study is based on information collected from 388 participants, focusing more on the dietary habits of preschoolers.
According to dietary health surveys conducted in 16 communities over 2007-2008, 56 per cent of Nunavut's Inuit households with a young child were determined to be "child food insecure." These rates were ten times higher than the national average, as reported in the Canadian Community Health Survey. In the national survey, approximately five per cent of households were experiencing child food insecurity.
Seven on out of 10 Inuit households with a young child between the ages of three and five in Nunavut were also deemed "food insecure."
Dr. Grace Egeland, is an associate professor at McGill University's School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition. She is also the lead author of both research studies.
There are "subtle changes in diet that over the long term can have negative consequences," said Dr. Egeland, adding that her teams' research should be used to help food insecure families improve their diets.
Food insecurity is linked with such conditions as low levels of education, household income and access to social assistance. In order to be considered food secure, families must be able to access both traditional foods and foods from markets.
In order to achieve this, says the ICJH study, there is a need for support systems and dietary changes to help families with young children.
In a related story on aboriginal health, the Ontario Office of the Chief Coroner released a 215-page report on factors contributing to 16 child and youth suicides on the Pikangikum First Nation reserve. The report states that there is an urgent need to ameliorate basic living condition in impoverished, remote areas in the northern part of the province. Basic infrastructure, including clean drinking water, a sewage system, schools and recreational facilities and health care, is lacking, the report found. Consequently, many vulnerable children and young adults feel a sense of hopelessness.
Over the period of 2006-2008, 16 children and young people aged 10 to 19 committed suicide, mostly by hanging themselves. Tragically, since July 15 alone, another five young people have done the same. The community's suicide rate is 36 times the national average.
What're more, 27 per cent of girls in grades three and four admitted to sniffing gasoline in order to get high. Truancy also tends to begin at age 10, particularly in households where the parents suffer from alcoholism and do not wake up in time to prepare their children for school. According to the report, the children's situation is made worse by not attending school, as "their best opportunity for adequate nutrition comes from the school, which provides two meals a day."
According to a 2007 report by the Standing Senate Committee on Human Rights entitled, Children: The Silenced Citizens, First Nations children also suffer disproportionately from poverty, youth criminal activity and child protection needs, as well as health problems, including malnutrition, drug use and suicide.
The report notes that health and addiction services are needed to help alleviate the community's social problems. Among its recommendations is to have "early childhood education programs to ensure that children are receiving valuable nurturing; nutritionally, physically and emotionally, that they might not otherwise receive."


can guinea pigs eat butter
Can Guinea Pigs Eat Butter?
Butter is a dairy product which contains up to 80% butterfat which is solid when chilled and at room temperature in some regions and liquid when warmed.
It is frequently made from cows milk, and can also be manufactured from the milk of other mammals, such as goats or sheep. (source)
Can guinea pigs eat butter?
Unfortunately, dairy products are not good for guinea pigs at all. They cannot handle the content in particularly the fat.
It will make them sick if they eat it and so is worth avoiding as a food for them.
