The SPCK52X series uses capacitive technology to detect finger touch. Once the device is powered up, it calibrates to the environment in which it's located. This guide is intended for you to get the best performance from your system,
- Allow 1 minute for calibration after initial power up on SPCK52x unit.
Recommendations on how to best use the SPCK2x keypads
- To achieve the correct response from each button, we recommend when entering a code, only press one button per second.
- In between each press remove your finger at least 10 mm from the surface of the keypad before pressing the next button.
Other recommendations are to make sure that the surface of the keypad is kept clear of dust or grease.
Use a cloth and hot water only to remove any dirt. Do not use chemical cleaners or detergents.
- holding the whole hand over the buttons for a period on time
- holding a finger on one button for a prolonged period of time.
- hover a finger over a single button from a period of time, even 2 to 3 mm away from the button
- rapidly press the button, for example, press their 4,5,6,7,8-digit code in the space of < one second.
- Repeatedly keep pressing the same button fast.
- sliding your finger across the surface or 2 to 3 mm above the surface of the keypad to reach the next button.
All of these cases can cause a button or buttons not to react correctly by triggering the keypad to recalibrate the sensitivity of a button or buttons.
The unit by recalibration, now believes that holding a hand across the buttons is the normal or standby state and therefore they will not react to touch.
For the keypad to function correctly again, recalibration is required.
This is achieved by removing your hand away from the surface of the keypad (20mm min) for a minimum time of 10 seconds. Recommendation time 30 seconds.

GPU-Accelerated Agent-Based Simulation of Complex Systems
This week's Spotlight is on Paul Richmond, a Vice Chancellor's Research Fellow at the University of Sheffield (a CUDA Research Center). Paul's research interests relate to the simulation of complex systems and to parallel computer hardware.
Within his current position he is developing novel software enabling modelers to accelerate large simulations of interacting autonomous individuals (agents) for the purposes of interactive visualization, prediction and intelligent decision support.
This interview is part of the CUDA Spotlight Series.
Q & A with Paul Richmond
NVIDIA: Paul, tell us about the FLAME GPU software which you developed.
Paul: Agent-Based Simulation is a powerful technique used to assess and predict group behavior from a number of simple interacting rules between communicating autonomous individuals (agents). Individuals typically represent some biological entity such as a molecule, cell or organism and can therefore be used to simulate systems at varying biological scales.
The Flexible Large-scale Agent Modelling Environment for the GPU (FLAME GPU) is a piece of software which enables high level descriptions communicating agents to be automatically translated to GPU hardware. With FLAME GPU, simulation performance is enormously increased over traditional agent-based modeling platforms and interactive visualization can easily be achieved. The GPU architecture and the underlying software algorithms are abstracted from users of the FLAME GPU software, ensuring accessibility to users in a wide range of domains and application areas.
NVIDIA: How does FLAME GPU leverage GPU computing?
Paul: Unlike other agent-based simulation frameworks, FLAME GPU is designed from the ground up with parallelism in mind. As such it is possible to ensure that agents and behavior are mapped to the GPU efficiently in a way which minimizes data transfer during simulation.
One of the most exciting aspects of GPU-accelerated simulation is that simulations can often be run faster than real-time. For example, a pedestrian evacuation model can be matched to real-world conditions and an evacuation plan can be simulated, essentially looking into the future for potential danger or problems. This forms the basis of my current work into using such agent simulation techniques for prediction and decision making.
Example of pedestrian evacuation modeling simulation with FLAME GPU
NVIDIA: What challenges did you face?
Paul: GPUs are very good at simulating homogeneous groups of agents where behavior is consistent across a population. In homogenous cases, behavior can be executed as kernels with very little divergence, which results in high performance. However, as the complexity of agents within a population increases, so too does the heterogeneity, ultimately impacting performance.
The main challenge in parallelizing a generic agent-based model is ensuring that agents can be maintained in homogeneous groups. The use of a state-based representation is the main technique which is used to ensure homogenous grouping of agent behaviors.
The creation of spare lists of agents is another area which is challenging to performance. Spare lists can be introduced by agents transitioning between states or through the creation and deletion of agents during simulation. Parallel stream compaction, a process of using prefix scan to remove empty gaps in agent lists, is used heavily in many places within the FLAME GPU software to prevent sparse data.
NVIDIA: Which CUDA features and GPU libraries do you use?
Paul: Initially FLAME GPU used my own implementations of sorting and stream compaction techniques. However, this functionality has been migrated, initially to CUDPP and more recently to Thrust. It is likely that CUB will be used in the future to gain even more performance.
I am currently re-engineering a large amount of the FLAME GPU code to take advantage of newer GPU features such as concurrency through parallel streams, GPUDirect for multi GPU architectures and faster sorting methods based on improved atomics performance.
NVIDIA: What is ACRC and how is it using the outputs of FLAME GPU?
Paul: The Advanced Computing Research Centre (ACRC) at the University of Sheffield is a gateway to collaborating with industry, with simulation as one of the key focus areas. FLAME GPU and similarly the FLAME HPC software (for distributed architectures) are used to provide simulations with an industrial focus impacting areas such as planning, construction, the environment, medical research and economic policy. It is very exciting to see the impact of high-performance simulation techniques being applied to real industrial needs. So far there has been lots of varied interest.
NVIDIA: Tell us about Osteolytica.
Paul: Osteolytica is the result of a training program to promote interdisciplinary research and is a great example of how CUDA is being applied to a wide range of domains within the University of Sheffield CUDA research Center.
During the training program I met with Dr. Andrew Chantry, a clinical researcher in the school of medicine. We discussed a particular problem related to not having a robust method for quantifying the extent of cancer-induced osteolytic lesion damage of bone samples obtained through microCT volumetric scans.
I realized that GPU computing could be used to provide a novel algorithm for localized bone surface reconstruction, effectively providing a metric to measure damage. This software is now used heavily within Dr. Chantry's research to evaluate cancer treatments and the university is exploring commercialization options.
Osteolytica lesion analysis software
NVIDIA: When did you first see the promise of GPU computing?
Paul: My background is in computer graphics, so I was an early convert to GPU computing. Before CUDA arrived I was accelerating general purpose code using GPGPU techniques relying on graphics primitives. GPU programming has come a long way since then and GPUs are now infinitely easier to work with.
NVIDIA: What are you looking forward to in the next five to ten years?
Paul: In the immediate future I look forward to the increased performance, memory sizes and scalability (through NVLink) of future architectures, as described at the recent GPU Tech Conference. This will enable agent-based models of increasing scale and complexity to be simulated with the potential to offer new insights into biological processes.
More generally, I suspect that over the next ten years limitations in scaling simulations will be not be in hardware, instead software will have to evolve to become increasingly parallel. Platforms such as CUDA are extremely helpful for programming GPU devices. However, in some cases additional algorithms and data parallel techniques will be required.
I am interested in the idea that biological brain function can offer some insight into how future hardware and software techniques can scale to the extreme levels evident in nature.

How to Easily Resize Window In Gnome [Quick Tips]
How do you usually resize a window? Move your mouse pointer to the corner of the window and click to resize it, simple, right? Well, if you are using Gnome (Linux), resizing an application window can be a hit or miss affair. In some applications (such as Nautilus), the corners width are huge and you can easily click and drag to resize them. However, in other applications, the sidebar and corner width is only a pixel wide and moving your mouse cursor to that exact point (where the cursor become the resize arrowhead) can be a tedious task.
Here are some ways you can use to make resizing the window an easier, and enjoyable task.
1. Alt + Middle click
At anywhere in the window, press "ALT" key and the middle button of the mouse and the cursor instantly become an arrowhead. You can then move in the direction that you want to resize.
2. Press At + F8
The "Alt + F8" hotkey is a quick keyboard shortcut to activate the resize mode. Once in the resize mode (with a translucent overlay), you can use the arrow key to resize the window horizontally or vertically. Once you are done, hit Enter to return to the window mode.
3. Configure own hotkey via Compiz
If you are using Compiz, it comes with several more options that you can configure.
Open your CompizConfig Settings Manager (System -> Preferences -> CompizConfig Settings Manager).
Scroll down the list to find "Resize Window".
Click on it to enter its configuration page. From here, you can enable and assign the hotkey for different resize mode. In this example, I have enabled the "Initiate Outline Window Resize" mode and assign the hotkey "Alt + Super + W" to activate it.
That's it. This should solve your window resizing woes.


that wasn't captured before by other functions.
A function that uses any globals automatically captures _ENV, and this counts as a captured variable. (Unless _ENV is explicitly re-declared, it never counts as a newly captured variable, though.)
If a function is created multiple times, the previously created instance is reused if possible, thus costing nothing. The previous instance can be reused if it has no captured variables, or if it has captured variables but they're all the same variables as the captured variables of the new function.

To clarify the fractal natures of electromagnetic radiations prior to earthquakes, we conducted a friction experiment simulating the essential elements of the motion of an asperity on a fault plane, and observed the generation of photon emissions around frictional contacts due to the dielectric breakdown of ambient gases by frictional electrification. According to the fractal distribution of fault asperities, we show that the frictional discharge (plasma generation) at asperities on the fault plane can be one of origins of the fractal seismo-electromagnetic radiation prior to earthquakes.

KALAMAZOO, Mich.—A Western Michigan University researcher has been awarded a $284,833 grant from the National Science Foundation to study negatively charged ions that are potentially damaging to lakes and rivers when found in fertilizers and also are a toxic byproduct in waste from manufacturing and mining.
The grant was awarded to Dr. Gellert Mezei, associate professor of chemistry, who has been studying negatively charged ions, also known as anions, for over 10 years. Mezei's research ultimately could further understanding of how anions can be extracted from industrial and mining waste and removed from enriched bodies of water. Anion removal also has implications for the petroleum, pharmaceutical and nuclear power industries.
What are anions
Anions (pronounced an-ions) are extremely common, Mezei says. They are often found in water, in the human body and the surrounding environment.
"They are ubiquitous," Mezei says. "They are everywhere in nature. Our body functions are based on several anions that are vital. Many anions are part of minerals. They are necessary ingredients in fertilizers."
But they can also cause big problems. Anions in the form of sulfates, nitrates, phosphates and chlorides can be extremely damaging in bodies of water and can contaminate lakes, rivers and streams, leading to excessive growth of algae and lake eutrophication.
"So it's important to monitor them and devise ways of reducing their concentration and also eliminate them from contaminated areas," Mezei says. "For example, our own Asylum Lake has over 10 times more sulfate than what it should normally have. So these anions will lead to excessive growth of algae and ultimately can lead to eutrophication of the lake."
Anions in the form of chlorides from road salt also cause extensive damage to lakes and streams.
"We have these bad winters in Michigan, and we use a lot of sodium chloride, calcium chloride and other chlorides on the roads and these end up in our bodies of water," Mezei says. "And then there are the toxic anions."
Toxic anions are common in industry and mining in the form of chromate, arsenate, selenate and dozens of other substances. These are doubly charged negative ions that have a high affinity for water, are carcinogenic and have been linked to other diseases. In small amounts, they can attack the nervous and reproductive systems, kidneys and blood, and cause birth defects. The permissible levels of toxic anions are continuously being lowered as their harmful effects are more fully understood.
Chromium, for example, is used extensively in industry for plating to produce glittering, sparkling surfaces common on cars and other products. And nuclear waste contains several toxic anions, which interfere with the disposal process.
"They like to stick to water and stay in water, so that makes their extraction difficult," Mezei says.
That's where Mezei's research comes in.
"In general, the idea for all these different applications is that one or more anions of interest have to be removed," Mezei says. "Unfortunately, it is not that easy to remove one problematic anion from a mixture because many anions are very similar to each other. Our project hopes to address this issue."
The problem is not all anions are bad. Removing them all would increase the cost of removal several hundred times.
"These extraction agents we have discovered are very, very efficient in that they bind the anions extremely strongly," Mezei says.
Promising use in oil industry
Mezei and his fellow researchers have discovered that the removal agents also show great promise in preventing and even removing scale in the oil industry. Scale is an unwanted substance that builds up in piping and pumping equipment and comes from seawater that is pumped into wells. Production must be halted regularly to scrape it out. Removal agents can be used to extract anions from the seawater before it is used, reducing scale formation, or simply use them to dissolve the scale itself.
"Scale removal can cost the oil industry a million dollars a day," Mezei says. "It's a huge problem."
The NSF grant does not directly fund Mezei's anion extraction research. What it pays for is basic research into how the extraction method works. Why do the extraction agents remove the anions with the highest affinity for water and leave the anions that have a lower affinity for water? The grant project will try to answer that question and help in designing even more effective and selective anion extraction agents.
"We know it works," Mezei says, "but what no one knows is why and how it works."

SiC switch handles heat 100 degrees higher than silicon
Puqi NIng (Photograph by Dave Franusich)
Graduate student Puqi Ning
In collaboration with Boeing, CPES researchers have been working on a silicon carbide (SiC) high power density motor drive (HDMC) designed to regulate and control the speed and torque of a motor. It takes in 230V, variable frequency, three-phase ac power, converts it to 650V dc internally, and then outputs up to 10kW three-phase ac to the high density permanent magnet synchronous motor developed in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The team has achieved a very good power-to-weight ratio, exceeding 2kW per pound.
The use of SiC enables the switch to handle temperatures of up to 250°C, 100°C higher than comparable silicon-based technology. The higher maximum temperature means that less space and weight needs to be devoted to heat management, increasing power density and improving the power-to-weight ratio.


/Planning & Performance
 /Range & Endurance
Power Required and Drag vs AirspeedPower Required and Drag vs Airspeed
Range & Endurance Flying, I
Maximum range flying is done so we can fly the maximum distance for the amount of fuel onboard. This can be set against distance covered through air or over ground. It is of interest to a pilot when he wants to fly with the least amount of fuel flow for a distance traveled to save fuel.
Maximum endurance flying is done when the pilot wants to remain airborne for the maximum time possible given an amount of fuel. Waiting for the weather to clear to be able to land is an example of this practice.
Flying for maximum range or endurance can take the aircraft and maybe the pilot to their limits, do this safely and wisely.
Range performance
For maximum range flying you must operate the aircraft and engine in such a way that maximum efficiency is obtained over the distance to be flown. Do that by keeping the following factors in mind:
 - Actual takeoff weight, lesser weight means less power required
 - Wind direction and speed (velocity), a tailwind favors range
 - Air temperature, the warmer the air (lower density) the more power required
 - Altitude, higher is better for range it increases TAS, but not for endurance
 - Aircraft configuration, keeping drag as low as possible
Specific Range
We have two ways of expressing specific range: as Specific Air Range, which is air nautical miles per fuel unit (SAR) or as Specific Ground Range, which is ground nautical miles per fuel unit (SGR). These two are interconnected because SGR is SAR influenced by wind velocity.
If we would include time (hour) in these definitions then we get the following: Nautical Miles / Time = TAS (kts) and Fuel / Time = Fuel Flow (USG).
Fuel Flow
Specific Air Range (TAS / fuel flow)
To achieve the best possible SAR we need to get the best TAS / Fuel Flow ratio and as fuel flow relates to power we can also say TAS / Power ratio.
Engine gross fuel consumption or fuel flow (GFC) depends on how much power is requested related to its specific fuel consumption (SFC), thus GFC = SFC × Power. Combining these formula's results in: SAR = TAS / Power × 1 / SFC.
Thus, we need to fly the aircraft to its maximum airframe efficiency TAS / Power and engine efficiency 1 / SFC. Maximum airframe efficiency is at the speed for minimum drag or maximum L/D ratio. This is usually equal to the well known VY.
For piston aircraft the best range speed is about 10% higher, sometimes known as the 'long range cruise speed'.
As the minimum drag or maximum L/D ratio does not change with altitude (TAS and power required increase by the same amount) so therefore there is no effect on SAR. Even the IAS remains the same. Only tailwinds at altitude could mean a real advantage.
Weight does have its toll on SAR. As weight increases, the angle of attack for the best L/D ratio is at a higher IAS (thus TAS is higher), more speed means more drag and more power is required and it is out of proportion too because Power = Drag × TAS. Thus specific air range is lower with an increase of aircraft weight.
Specific Ground Range (GS / fuel flow)
To take into account the distance covered over ground we need to apply the headwind component to the true airspeed (TAS) to arrive at groundspeed (GS). It is easy to see that a tailwind favors specific range resulting in a higher SGR. GS is used to find the best SGR, thus GS / Fuel Flow or GS / Power.

CS-19-TR Shellside Vacuum Condensation Data for n-Heptane and a Noncondensable Gas
Current shellside condensation methods used to predict heat transfer coefficients are based on data collected near or above atmospheric pressure. The accuracy of these methods in vacuum conditions requires validation. HTRI collected heat transfer and pressure drop data in the Low Pressure Condensation Unit (LPCU) for shellside condensation of pure n-heptane and n-heptane plus nitrogen at vacuum pressures ranging from 2.8 to 48 kPa (21 to 360 Torr). Current HTRI methods underpredict the overall heat transfer coefficient for pure n-heptane and overpredict it for n-heptane plus nitrogen. Compared to the pure fluid, the addition of the noncondensable gas significantly reduced the measured heat exchanger duty. Acquired high-speed videos display the condensate drainage patterns and droplet interactions. This report presents the collected heat transfer and pressure drop data of shellside vacuum condensation.

Northeast Asia includes the areas of Northeast China, the Russian Far East, Japan and the Korean Peninsula. Climate variability and change impose enormous challenges for this region, with its rapidly developing economy and large population. Natural climate variability and anthropogenic forcings both modulate regional climate, particularly in regions sensitive to global climate change, such as Northeast Asia.
To investigate how much, to what extent, and how natural variability or anthropogenic forcings affect the regional climate of Northeast Asia, scientists from University of Reading (UK) and Institute of Atmospheric Physics (CAS, China) carried out an attribution study by performing a set of numerical experiments with different forcings.
"Northeast Asia has experienced abrupt summer warming and changes in temperature extremes since the mid-1990s," says Dr. DONG Buwen from University of Reading. "And accompanying the warming in surface mean temperature, significant changes in certain temperature extremes, characterized by increases in the summer mean daily maximum temperature, daily minimum temperature, annual hottest day temperature, and annual warmest night temperature, have been observed".
Climate model experiments forced by changes in SST/sea ice extent (SIE) and anthropogenic forcings reproduced the general patterns of observed changes. Meanwhile, experiments forced by individual forcings suggested that changes in SST/SIE play a dominant role in summer mean surface warming, but reduced aerosol precursor emissions over Europe play an important role in changes of some temperature extremes, mainly through aerosol-induced coupled atmosphere-land surface feedback processes.
"As long as GHG concentrations continue to increase and anthropogenic aerosol precursor emissions over both North America and Europe continue to decrease, the abrupt summer surface warming and increases in hot temperature extremes over Northeast Asia since the mid-1990s will probably sustain in the next few decades," predicts Dr. DONG.
Additionally, Dr. DONG's team also applied this attribution study to Western Europe and the Sahel region, to better understand the variability and change in regional climate.

The value of a variable can change as a program runs. By contrast, a constant is assigned a value once in the declaration, and that value can't change until the program is restarted.
const float goldenRatio = 1.618; const int daysInWeek = 7;
You can have a constant version of any of the standard C variable types. The only trick is that you have to supply a value when you create the variable.
We could spend a lot of time on enums, but in the spirit of focusing on the relevance to Cocoa, we're going to make this really, really simple.
Here's an enum from Cocoa's NSString class which defines text search options:
enum { NSCaseInsensitiveSearch = 1, NSLiteralSearch = 2, NSBackwardsSearch = 4, NSAnchoredSearch = 8, NSNumericSearch = 64 };
Apple uses enums in Cocoa to group a series of related constants. This is often used as a way to set a "mode" for a particular function. The values of the constants don't really matter, just the name.
Here's an example of an enum in use. Don't worry about understanding what this code does, just focus on how the enum is being used:
[string compare:anotherString options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch]; [string compare:anotherString options:NSLiteralSearch];
The stdio.h file included in every example is a header file for part of the standard C library. A library is a collection of reusable code. It can define things like functions, structs, constants and enums.
There are thousands of third party C libraries available. Some are free and come with.c source files. Others require a fee and provide header files and documentation but no source code.
Library Diagram
To use a third party library, you have to compile and "link" to it. For example, if I wanted to write a C program that could talk to a MySQL database, I could link to the libmysql library and include its headers in my program.
When you use code created by others, it's important to know what the terms of use are. Some licenses, for example, may require you that share all of the source code for your application.
If you're feeling adventurous, take a look in /usr/include, which is a standard place for C header files.
Final Example
Here's a final program that uses almost all of the concepts from this tutorial. You need to have the following files from before:
math_functions.h - math function declaration
math_functions.c - math function implementations
song.h - Song struct and related function declarations
song.c - implementation of the Song functions
Paste the contents of this example into a file called final.c
_TAG_ _TAG_ "math_functions.h" _TAG_ "song.h" main () { const int numberOfSongs = 3; printf ("total number of songs will be: %i\n", numberOfSongs); int i; for (i = 0; i < numberOfSongs; i++) { printf ("loop trip %i ", i); } printf ("\n"); Song song1 = make_song (223, 1998); Song song2 = make_song (303, 2004); Song song3 = { 315, 1992 }; display_song (song3); int combinedLength = sum (song1.lengthInSeconds, song2.lengthInSeconds); printf ("combined length of song1 and song2 is %i\n", combinedLength); float x = (float) song1.lengthInSeconds; float y = (float) song2.lengthInSeconds; float z = (float) song3.lengthInSeconds; float averageLength; averageLength = average (x, y, z); printf ("average length is: %f as a float ", averageLength); printf ("and %i as an int\n", (int) averageLength); }
This example may look complex, but it's just repetition of the same concepts. If there's anything here that doesn't make sense, go back and read the previous sections.
Compile the Example
Make sure you have the four files previously mentioned plus final.c, all in the same directory. Switch to Terminal and change to the directory which contains the files. Enter the command gcc final.c song.c math_functions.c -o final.

Absence Note Guidelines
The CSUSB Student Health Center provides two types of notes for class and both require a visit:
- Verification of visit for any scheduled appointment. This note verifies you were seen on a particular time and date, and nothing else. It does not include a diagnosis nor recommendations for missed activities.
- Medical documentation during visits for significant medical illness or injury requiring substantial time off from school.
We do not routinely provide medical excuse notes.
The majority of legitimate medical issues that cause students to miss class are due to conditions that get better on their own, such as colds, headaches, stomach flu, etc. These illnesses tend to be difficult to confirm objectively, especially after the fact.
In most cases these conditions improve with self-care (fluids, resting in bed) and do not require a medical visit.
The Documents section on this page contains links that will allow students to print an Absence Self-Verification Form, and a Letter to Faculty from the CSUSB Student Health Center, and articles explaining current best-practices set forth by the American College Health Association.
All medical records are strictly confidential. Information from records will not be released to any one without the written authorization of the patient, except as required by law. The staff at the Student Health Center can assist you with the following services:
- Requesting copies of your medical records
- Sending copies of your medical records to an outside provider
- Clearing Immunization holds Holds will be cleared within 24 hours
- General Standards of Patient Rights and Responsibilities (PDF)
Health information is confidential, and access is restricted to authorized CSUSB Student Health Center personnel ONLY. Information in the health record will not be released to parents (except in the case of minors), professors or anyone else without written consent or when required by law, court order or when subpoenaed.
- Advance Directive (PDF) An Advance Directive is a written document in the form of a living will or Durable Power of Attorney prepared by a competent individual that specifies what, if any, extraordinary procedures, surgeries, medication or treatments the patient desires in the future, when he or she can no longer make such decisions about medical treatment. Please see the attached form and instructions for more detailed information.
- Release of Medical Records form (PDF) Consent is required to release medical records to another facility or provider. Proof of identity is required to pick up records in person. Records cannot be mailed or faxed directly to students. Please indicate specific dates needed and allow 7-10 working days to process.
- Request for Medical Records (PDF) Consent is needed to release any medical records from an outside physician or health care facility that is mailed directly or faxed to the CSUSB Student Health Center.
- Consent for Medical Treatment of a Minor (PDF).pdf Parental consent is required to provide health care to minors.
*(ExceptionsCalifornia Law: Request for contraception services, or an Emancipated Minor)
- Immunization Exemption Declaration (PDF) A Signed Waiver is required to decline immunization requirements due to personal, medical or religious beliefs. Bring the verification form with proof of identity to the Student Health Center. NOTE: This waiver may bar students from campus in an outbreak situation for their own protection or that of the campus community.

If you want to go high bandwidth, fiber optics is the way to go. From trans-oceanic cables to the yet-unseen 'fiber to every home,' fiber optics allows a lot more bandwidth than a copper cable. In low-bandwidth applications, fiber optic cable transmits data using one color of light. There's a way to get more bandwidth out of a fiber optic cable, as [Shahriar] found out while experimenting with an RGB LED.
For his experiment, [Shahriar] used a BlinkM programmable RGB LED and a Sparkfun color sensor. In fiber optic lines with one light, it is possible to send many simultaneously using PWM, but noise becomes a problem at high data rates. Using an RGB LED, [Shahriar] sends three levels of Red, Green, and Blue to transmit 9 bits at a time – perfect for sending a byte with a parity check in one quick light burst.
[Shahriar]'s technique is exactly how the pros pump massive amounts of data through a single fiber optic cable. All the tools, code, and MATLAB functions are available on [Shahriar]'s site, ready to be used by anyone wanting to experiment for themselves.
In the video after the break, [Shahriar] breaks everything down, including the tools, theory, and actual circuits. It's an amazing video demo, so thorough we're wondering if [Shahriar] has any teaching ambitions.

Singlish is a spoken language in Singapore derived from English, Malay, various Chinese dialects and Tamil.
Singlish Translation can refer to both Singlish to English as well as Singlish to Chinese translations.
Singlish is a broad category that encompasses "Singdarin" (Singapore Mandarin). Like Singlish, Singadarin conversations are conversations in Mandarin peppered with the same colourful local phrases found in Singlish, albeit with a higher presence of Chinese dialects like Hokkien and Cantonese.
The common application of Singlish Translation occurs in the subtitling of video interviews, where Singlish speech (made up of various dialects and languages) is translated into English or Chinese. Recorded conversations in Singlish used as evidence in legal proceedings are also first transcribed into a written form before they are submitted to the courts.

Why do Japanese always win the Nobel Prize? These 9 educational methods are worth learning
What made the Japanese always win the Nobel Prize for many years? The emphasis and respect for scientific research from the top to bottom, the inheritance and development of the "artisan spirit", and the enthusiasm for educational change, etc., are worth learning and thinking.
Winner of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology, James P. Allison and Tasuku Honjo (right)
In 2001, Japan introduced the "Second Science and Technology Basic Plan", which is ambitious to say that it is necessary to take 30 Nobel Prizes in "50 years," from Japan to the international community.. Previously, in the 100-year history of the Nobel Prize, Japan, the world's economic power, had only nine winners.
From 2001 to 2018, Japan took one in an average year, 18 in 18 years, the planned time has not yet passed more than a half, has completed more than one-half of the target number, according to the rhythm of one year one prize, "50 years win 30 prizes" target, almost no suspense.
Tasuku Honjo is the 26th Japanese to win the Nobel Prize and the 5th Japanese to receive a physiology or medicine award. Japan surpassed Germany, the United Kingdom, and France, becoming the second largest " big prize winner" after the United States, 23 of which were natural science awards.
The Japanese won the Nobel Prize for years, and they cannot do without the support of the Japanese government for the long-term stability of basic research. As early as 1995, the Japanese national assembly passed the Basic law on science and technology, and subsequently formulated several five-year plans. In January last year, the Japanese Cabinet reviewed and approved the Fifth Science and Technology Basic Plan (2016-2020). The plan proposes to build Japan into the "world's most suitable country for innovation" in the next 10 years.
The Japanese also have an admirable "artisan spirit." The so-called "artisan spirit" is to do only one thing in a lifetime, and to achieve the ultimate in this matter.
It is also particularly noteworthy that most of the Japanese Nobel Prize-winning scientists have a relatively good childhood, like to be close to nature, to explore nature,like to read,good at read, and parent to play an important role in enlightenment and guidance during their growth..
- Contacting nature to create curiosity is the "origin" of scientific research
"When one is young, through contact with nature, create the initial and naive interest and desire to explore. This is a very important science enlightenment education and the way to produce a generation of science giants." Nobel, winner of the 2016 annual prize in physiology or medicine, Daisumi Yoshinori said.
Since childhood, the Daisumi Yoshinori like nature very much. Collecting insects is a big hobby. He is also the editor of the primary school science textbook. In his view, letting children fall in love with nature, fall in love with science, and have valuable curiosity about the world is the starting point for everything.
When I was a child, I was keen on making airplane models and semiconductor radios. In summer, I like fishing in rivers, catching fireflies and collecting insects, and walking in the field with a hand-held net is a day. pluck wild celery, Akebia, Myrica rubra, wild strawberry are able to experience the four seasons of nature.Looking up and seeing the stars in the sky makes it easy to identify the constellation, and the Milky Way is like a river on the ground. These were not thought of at the time, but today, as a researcher in molecular biology in the natural sciences, such an experience is the origin of everything. "
When the Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, Mr. Shimomura, talked about why he was on the road to science, he said: "I don't do research for application or any other benefit. I just want to understand why the jellyfish shines." It should be said that. Maintaining curiosity in nature and the world around it is the direct reason for leading Nobel laureates into the world of research.
In 1973, the Nobel Prize winner in physics, Yoshiaki Saki, had this sentiment: a person who came into contact with nature at an early age gave birth to the original, naive exploration interest and desire. This is a very important scientific enlightenment education. The road to a generation of scientific masters. should be cherished, carefully cultivated, motivated and cared for.
From the speeches and writings of several winners, it is obvious that reading is important to their growth, and several of them have strengthened their life direction because of reading.
In 2002, Nobel Prize in Physics, Masatoshi Koshiba, frankly stated in the book "I am not a good student". When he was in elementary school, the class teacher Jin Yingfu sent him a book - how Einstein's "How Physics Produced" made him Great interest in physics and eventually embarked on the path of physics research.
Fukui Kenichi, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1981, wrote in "The Straight Words Education": "In my entire junior high school and high school age, the most influential to me was Fabre, who I can call the teacher of the soul, It has played a very important role in my life. "
In 1994, Nobel Prize winner Kenzaburo Oe had the habit of copying books From childhood. He confessed in his book: "To write a lot of notes for reading, and to continue this way of reading, I have achieved what I am here today."
Family education focuses on cultivating children's self-reliance
If reading is an intrinsic factor in the success of Nobel winners, good family education is an essential external condition.
The 2001 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Ryoji Noyori, said that his determination to study chemistry is the influence of his father. At the age of 12, his father took him to a company's new product show. A new yellow nylon wire extracted from water, air and coal made him feel that "chemistry is amazing", and since then he Life is inseparable from chemistry.
Fukui Kenichi was influenced by his father to develop a habit of studying hard and thinking hard. He wrote in the book: "As for learning, parents have adopted a non-intervention attitude and have never said "to study hard". However, my family often hangs over the serious atmosphere that makes children want to learn involuntarily."
Like China, Japan has always attached importance to family education. The family pays attention to cultivating the child's self-reliance and instilling the idea of not relying on parents. After the Japanese students are admitted to the university, the tuition fees are the responsibility of the parents, but the living expenses outside the tuition fees must be earned by working on their own, otherwise they will be laughed at by the classmates and the society.
Numerous educational experiments，A large number of educational experiments to promote the connection between education and reality
In 2014, Haiyam, Japan, children playing in the indoor playground
Japanese education, like some Eastern countries,There are drawbacks such as indoctrination, re examination and so on.. However, Japan was influenced by the new education movement and pragmatic education before the Second World War, and the masses also carried out a large number of educational experiments, which greatly promoted the connection between education and real life.
After the war, Japan also absorbed the educational theories and experiences of Western developed countries in the process of continuous exploration. For example, kindergartens and elementary schools in Japan do not only emphasize knowledge learn, but emphasize children's life experience. Compared with basic education, Japanese secondary schools have a tendency to test. That were once more serious, but high school has a credit system. The student relatively large freedom of choice course.
Japan's basic education attaches great importance to carrying out a variety of extracurricular activities. Many schools mobilize nearly all the teachers in the school to participate in the guidance of extracurricular club activities, and even some student activities (such as the National High School baseball Tournament, the National Student and Children's Invention Exhibition, etc.) Become a grand event of concern to all citizens.
Japan has also established a number of off-campus educational institutions (such as youth homes) to expand the horizons of young people. The company is also keen to organize various science and technology competitions and other activities to stimulate children's creative enthusiasm. All these systems or measures help students to form a wide range of interests and hobbies, and lay a solid foundation for future career development.
Scientific research requires sensibility and intuition, and the best time to cultivate this sensibility and intuition is a boyhood that is full of mud.
According to expert analysis, Japanese research universities have always turned their attention to the forefront of the world and closely integrated it with teaching. Japanese university professors are also engaged in the process of scientific research and The degree of freedom is quite high.
In Japan, university teachers are not afraid of being neglected or losing their jobs because have not produced scientific research results for a period of time. In the process of research, they are seldom disturbed by government and society, such as assessment and evaluation, and can devote themselves to research for a long time. The Japanese won the Nobel prize under this system.
Japan's science and technology infrastructure plan is not directly involved in management and review by the government, but by professional institutions. Scholars who receive program funding need to conduct research intensively. The research results are not assessed by the administrative department, but by academic peers.
"Japan has produced so many Nobel laureates, and it is not unrelated to Japanese scientists to focus on international exchanges

What's the main difference between py2 vs py3?
 - From a beginner point of view what is the main changes in our Drawbot code when using Python 2 and Python 3?
 - admin
 For beginners there is not such a big difference:
 All strings are unicode string, so no converting back and forth, but this is actually the best thing!!
 print('hello world') requires brackets ( and )
 Divisions are always floats so no more rounding, this is also a good thing: 1/3-> 0.333333 instead of 0
 You keep the old behaviour with 1//3
 If you dive deeper:
 dict.keys(), dict.values(), dict.items() are not a lists anymore
 Looping (a for loop or a while loop) over a dictionary and changing content of that dictionary is tricky:
 for key in list(myDict.keys()):
 myDict[key] = "changed" + myDict[key]
 There is of course more
 - Thanks! I'll look more into it.
 - I noticed today iterate a dict works also different.
 While translating scripts from py2 to py3 this was a thing...
 If the keys are integers in py2 they will be sorted.
 In py3 the will stay in order as appended to dict.
 print {1:"A",0:"B"}
 > {0: 'B', 1: 'A'}
 > {1: 'A', 0: 'B'}
 (also it seems print() is not coloured in snippet)
 - _USER_ It's actually not generally true that keys get sorted in Py2. The order of a dict is in implementation detail that you should not rely on. If you need sorted keys: get sorted keys!
 d = {1:"A",0:"B"}
 > dict_keys([1, 0])
 > [0, 1]
 (Indeed print() not getting colorized may be a bug in the syntax colorizer. Or it's not yet fully Py 3 compatible.)

CHOUTEAU, Rene Auguste
The dividing line between Chouteau's property and that belonging to Dubuque lay at the mouth of CATFISH CREEK. Dubuque's buildings were to remain in his possession during his lifetime with another section of land to be granted to Chouteau if necessary. During his lifetime, Dubuque maintained control over Chouteau's land. The deed was recorded on December 3, 1804, in St. Louis.
Chouteau later sold half of his Dubuque claim to John Mullanphy of St. Louis. A final accounting finds Chouteau paid about six cents an acre for just less than one-fourth of Dubuque's MINING operation.
Chouteau, the administrator of Dubuque's estate, sent his nephew Pierre CHOUTEAU to the mines in June 1810, to inventory Dubuque's personal property. At the auction that followed, Rene Auguste Chouteau paid himself a 10 percent commission of $1,424.35.
The issue of who finally owned the land was not settled until the case of CHOUTEAU vs MOLONY.


We have analysed 11 human-specific Alu insertion polymorphisms in the Balkans to elucidate the origins of the Aromuns, a linguistic isolate inhabiting scattered areas in the Balkan Peninsula. Four Aromun samples (two from the Republic of Macedonia, one from Albania, and one from Romania) and five neighbouring populations (Macedonians, Albanians, Romanians, Greeks, and Turks) were analysed by means of genetic distances, principal components and analyses of the molecular variance (AMOVA). Three hypotheses were tested: Aromuns are Romanophonic Greeks; the result of a Romanian southward migration; or local descendants of the Thracians. The analyses show that the Aromuns do not constitute a homogeneous group separated from the rest of the Balkan populations. Grouping by language or geography does not explain the genetic differences observed in the region, suggesting a lack of genetic structure in the area. Aromuns do not seem to be particularly related to Greeks, Romanians, or to other Romance speakers. The Aromuns might have their origin to the south of the Danube river, with extensive gene flow with the neighbouring populations. The present results suggest a common ancestry of all Balkan populations, including Aromuns, with a lack of correlation between genetic differentiation and language or ethnicity, stressing that no major migration barriers have existed in the making of the complex Balkan human puzzle.

Objective: To examine the association/effect of intraoperative cerebral oximetry (CeOx) on major organ morbidity and mortality (MOMM) after adult cardiac surgery. Design: A retrospective, multicenter cohort study. Setting: Patients treated at any hospital within the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database between July 1, 2011, and December 31, 2016, with a 30-day postoperative follow-up. Participants: Individuals ≥18 years old undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or valve repair or replacement, or any combination of procedures with cardiopulmonary bypass. Interventions: Intraoperative CeOx. Measurements and Main Results: MOMM includes operative mortality, stroke, renal failure, prolonged mechanical ventilation, deep sternal wound infection, or reoperation for any reason within 30 days. Of 1.19 million patients who met inclusion criteria within 1,180 facilities, ∼30% (n = 361,124) received CeOx versus nonrecipients (n = 838,675) with similar baseline patient characteristics. Using a propensity score-based 1:1 greedy matching method, 99.7% of CeOx recipients (n = 360,285) were matched with nonrecipients. The rates of MOMM were lower with versus without CeOx. The absolute risk reduction translated to a number needed to treat of 227 patients (95% CI: 166-363, p < 0.0001). In sensitivity analyses of prespecified subgroups, the benefit was strongest among patients undergoing aortic valve repair or replacement ± CABG (more than 7 fewer MOMM events per 1,000, p < 0.0001). However, intensive care unit stay >72 hours was higher with CeOx. Conclusion: Intraoperative cerebral oximetry is associated with less major organ morbidity and mortality after adult cardiac surgery. A large-scale clinical trial is warranted, given that desaturation is common and correctable.

Sandinistas co-founder Tomas Borge dies in Nicaragua
The last surviving founder of the left-wing Sandinista movement in Nicaragua, Tomas Borge, has died aged 81.
Borge helped to create the Sandinista National Liberation Front in 1961.
In 1979, the Sandinista revolution overthrew dictator Anastasio Somoza and Borge served as interior minister in the new government of Daniel Ortega.
US President Ronald Reagan saw the revolutionaries as a threat and backed the right-wing Contras in the civil war that followed.
An estimated 30,000 people died in the fighting which lasted a decade and wrecked the country's economy.'Transcendental figure'
Borge was born into a poor family and dedicated himself to the struggle against the Somoza family, which had run Nicaragua for 40 years.
He received military training in Cuba before he helped to found the Sandinista movement.
The organisation was named after Augusto Cesar Sandino, who fought against US intervention in Nicaragua in the 1930s.
Borge became the powerful interior minister in the Ortega government of the 1980s, where he imposed censorship on the media and was accused of human rights violations.
However, he denied accusations that he was responsible for expelling and harassing clergymen during the war.
The Sandinistas were voted out of power in 1990.
Congressman Jacinto Suarez was quoted by the Associated Press news agency as saying Borge was "a transcendental figure in Nicaraguan history".
But the news agency also quoted Nicaraguan writer Gioconda Belli, who said of Borge's later life: "After 1990, I have the sense he gave up his revolutionary ideas... He ended up a tragic-comic figure".
Borge's final years saw Daniel Ortega return to government - he won presidential elections in 2006 and again in 2011.
Borge was admitted to hospital earlier this month for a lung infection and underwent surgery.

Remodeled Basement Pictures Before After - If you live in the Tampa Bay region, you might not be used to seeing many houses with basements; however, think it or not, there are several homes throughout the region that do in fact have basements. Most houses in Florida are constructed without cellar because of hurricane related difficulties. Construction codes insist that dwelling floors be constructed above storm surge elevation. If a basement is allowed to be constructed, it usually is constructed as a "non-livable" space, therefore, in other words, homeowners can possess the basement for additional storage minus bedrooms.
In regards to basement problems, moisture is the most common issue in the cellar. The moisture most commonly enters from outside sources though can also be produced inside also. Frequently, most homeowners are unaware that the soil around the basement walls can have a large amount of moisture.
The cause of high moisture content in the soil could incorporate surface water that's seeping into the soil or even from a high water table. A high water table could be explained by heavy rains which cause the water to rise higher than the cellar floor. Frequently, water can find its way inside a cellar by gravity or through a crack or defect in the water protection layer of the base.
At the summer, warm moist air from outside could enter the house and lead to condensation on the cool basement walls or flooring. With every cold season, the crack will gradually get larger due to the expansive properties of the frozen water.


Is the football coach a teacher or not
Is football coach in particular, and sport in general, considered to be a teacher? Or are they merely a collaborator with an athlete?
If judging by the standards of professional football in particular and top sport in general, it is clear that the coach is not the right teacher. It is a pure working relationship, based on commitments that both are bound to a common organization.
Những huấn luyện viên cá tính nhất của làng bóng đá thế giới | Bóng Đá
In binding the commitment that leads to their relationship in the other job, the coach is like a "boss" and a player as a special employee. Together they conquer goals that one is a "thinker" and one is a "doer".
But also in that relationship, there are many pairs of football coaches – players who are close to the level of a junior associate. Many players consider the coach to be like his father, a position quite similar to that of his mentor.
For example, Mourinho's relationship with Materazzi at Inter Milan, for example. Moreover, there are coaches who train their players and when they teach behaviors. surely they must have a teacher – student relationship.
Typically the story of Pochettino coach of Tottenham when he was a player. At the time, Pochettino was in his early 20s, playing center-back at Newell's Old Boys club and Mercelo Bielsa was the head coach.
Nét bốc lửa của huấn luyện viên đòi cứu vớt gấu Nga | Bóng Đá
That is what an assistant coach must do, not a player's task. But Bielsa sees the quality of coaching in the person of Pochettino. And he taught Pochettino more of a coach than a player. Now, as a famous coach, Pochettino still remembers those lessons and always calls Bielsa the teacher.
The aforementioned stories clearly show that not in the West, all relationships are so separate that the coach is a coach, not a teacher. And this relationship, in the Asian cultural environment, is increasingly tightened. With the majority of players, Asian athletes, coaches are always considered teachers. Or at least, in their lifetime, there will be some coaches they are exalted as teachers.

Great Tosson : In The 20th Century
During the last century Great Tosson witnessed profound social, economic and demographic changes in common with the other villages in the National Park. Two world wars left their mark on this part of Coquetdale in terms of the casualties amongst those who went off to fight. World War II also left a tangible reminder in the fabric of the locality in the shape of the concrete pillboxes built at Newtown and Ryehill as part of the Coquet Line of defence in 1940.
Agriculture now employs fewer people than in the past, but it remains a crucial element in the economy of the locality and the farms in the village continue to operate, having acquired the usual assortment of large modern shelter sheds and the like. However other local industries have also declined.
The limestone quarry has long since fallen into disuse, as lime is no longer such an important agricultural input, and the woollen mill which was still flourishing at the beginning of the century, when Dixon wrote (1903, 469-70), had already closed by the time volume XV of the County History, which dealt with Great Tosson, appeared in 1940 (NCH XV (1940), 397).
Leisure and tourism have assumed much greater importance following the creation of the Northumberland National Park in 1956 and the increasing recreational time and opportunities available to all sections of the population in the second half of the 20th century. Any negative aspects of the last century and its impact on the village must be balanced against the enormous improvement in living standards experienced by ordinary people over its course.
The houses and cottages in the village all now form comfortable homes with the full range of services - power, water and telephone - expected in the modern world. It is likely that this residential function - in providing homes for people who work elsewhere - will become increasingly important for Great Tosson as the current century progresses.

Derived Types: PolylineB, PolylineN
An abstract class that serves as a base to its derived types, representing a collection of one or many paths.
The paths do not have to be connected to each
other. A polyline can be defined either as a PointCollection,
SegmentCollection, or GeometryCollection. Each
collection type allows the user to access and manipulate different aspects
of the polyline geometry.
To define a polyline containing many disjoint paths, the polyline must be defined as a GeometryCollection to which preconstructed path geometries are added. Adding segments to a polyline defined as a SegmentCollection, or points to a polyline defined as a PointCollection, assumes that the polyline is a single path of connected segments.


'how long is a piece of string?': meaning and early occurrences
Of American-English origin, the phrase how long is a piece of string? is a response to a question that cannot be answered precisely, although a precise answer seems to be expected.
—Cf. also the phrases:
time flies? you cannot: they go too fast
silent like the 'p' in swimming
why is a mouse when it spins? because the higher the fewer
These are the earliest occurrences of the phrase how long is a piece of string? that I have found, in chronological order:
1-: From The Lawrence Daily Journal (Lawrence, Kansas) of Tuesday 1st September 1885:
Orange Growing in Florida.
Correspondence of the New York Sun.
"How long does it take an orange grove to come into bearing?" The question was asked by a northern man in an earnest, deliberate way, that was intended to evoke a candid reply from the orange grower to whom it was put.
"How long is a piece of string?" returned the orange grower.
If he had been disposed to attempt an answer he might have said truthfully that an oronge [sic] grove will "come into bearing" in from six months to 15 or 20 years from the time of starting it, and that whether the interval is half a year or a fifth of a century depends almost wholly upon the wish of the owner.
2-: From The Railway Age (Chicago: The Railway Age Publishing Company) of Friday 3rd February 1888:
How much does it cost a mile to build a railway? This is an extremely indefinite question, and yet, in substance, it is repeatedly propounded as a matter of mere curiosity. How large is a piece of coal, and how long is a piece of string, would be fully as sensible questions as to ask the cost of a mile of railway where the topography of the line, character of work to be done, number and kind of bridges, weight of rail, number of ties per mile, and numerous other considerations are not specified.
3-: From the Linn County Clarion (Mound City, Kansas) of Friday 9th March 1888:
A correspondent from Wall Street writes the Clarion to know "when men will cease lying." Dear questioner, how long is a piece of string?
4-: From The Indianapolis Journal (Indianapolis, Indiana) of Friday 27th November 1891—quoting The Mirror and Farmer (Manchester, New Hampshire):
How often do we hear the question asked: "How much does it cost to produce a pound of milk?" It is like asking: "How long is a piece of string?" As strings vary in length, so milk varies in cost.
5-: From Annual Reports of the Dairymen's and Creameries' Associations of the Province of Ontario 1892 (Toronto: Printed by Warwick & Sons for the Ontario Department of Agriculture, 1893):
A Member: How many tons do you get to the acre?
Mr. Gould: Well, how long is a piece of string? Your question is a perfectly fair one, but under no system of agriculture can a man be sure of raising so much per acre. If we get sixteen to eighteen tons of good ensilage corn per acre we are satisfied.
6-: From the column Varieties, published in the Columbus Evening Dispatch (Columbus, Ohio) of Friday 19th July 1895:
New York is wrestling with the question, "What constitutes a meal?" It would be almost as wise to discuss, "How long is a piece of string?" Two unknown quantities figure in the problem—the amount of ready cash and the state of the person's appetite.
Various jocular replies to how long is a piece of string? have been made up, in particular twice the length from the middle to the end and variants.
For example, the following is from the column The Other Fellow, by Ad Schuster, published in the Oakland Tribune (Oakland, California) of Thursday 21st March 1935:
In the Farm Credit Administration applicants lined up for jobs and were given tests of a kind which some find so delightful.
"How long is a piece of string?" was one question. And another: "How far can a dog run in the woods?"
Now, the cute little trick is that you are supposed to write down "no answer," and if you do anything else you miss.
But there was one fellow who replied, "a piece of string is twice as long as the distance from the center to either end"; and, "a dog can run only half way into the woods; after that he is running out."
We don't know whether this man got the job he was after or not, but we think he should have the one held by the expert who was asking the foolish questions.
The same joke occurs in Mutt and Jeff, a comic strip by Al Smith (Albert Schmidt – _PHONE_), published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram (Fort Worth, Texas) of Wednesday 28th April 1937:
Jeff Unbuttons a Couple of Wise Cracks
Think I'll have some fun with the little dumbbell – I'll ask him some trick questions that nobody can answer!
Jeff, you're a pretty smart guy – How long is a piece of string?
How long is a piece of string?
A piece of string is twice the length of that part between the center and either end!
O.K. Answer this one – How far can a dog run into the woods?
A dog can run only half way into the woods, after that he is running out of the woods!
Any more?


A science blog with Eric Berger
Bacteria turn deadlier in space. What about babies?
The big news today is that Salmonella bacteria shot into space last summer came home three times as deadly. Scientists had expected this because ground-based experiments suggested the zero-gravity environment of space might increase virulence.
Would a space-born baby survive?
But it's fascinating all the same.
All life that we know of evolved in one Earth gravity. We've already seen what effect spaceflight has on human bones, muscles and the immune system (it weakens all of them). Now we're seeing that it has a striking effect even on the smallest of living things.
Perhaps the coolest part of the new research is that it pinpoints the changes in Salmonella down to the genetic level, finding that microgravity caused the bacteria to express (turn on/off) 167 different genes than bacteria that were kept on the ground. These genetic changes increased the virulence of the bacteria.
While reporting the story, Jeanne Becker at the National Space Biomedical Research Institute told me about an earlier space experiment during which astronauts grew human kidney cells on orbit. Those cells expressed a remarkable 1,600 different genes than the Earth-grown variety.
All of this leads me to an intriguing question. If genes express differently in space, what will happen if (when, really) a baby is conceived in space? How about a newborn's development? I can see this becoming a huge moral question some day, especially with the radically different gene expression.
A space baby would very likely be something that's virtually non-human, if he or she survived at all.

 " …a really expensive way to have fresh omellets…."
 Oh, Hunter-san, humble servant not think so!
 Device fix eggs with chemical at diverse stages of embryonic development!
 Not so tasty and probabrary lethal!
 " …results? "
 Firstly, here's a more detailed description of the the device:
 " Experiment Operations
 " The Avian Development Facility (ADF) was designed for Japanese quail eggs and houses 36 egg holders. The egg holders have been designed to isolate the eggs from vibration, thus minimizing any launch and re-entry effects to the developing embryos.
 " Egg holders are mounted on two rotating centrifuges that can provide both microgravity and variable gravity environments (up to 1-g – normal Earth gravity).
 " The avian facility offers pre-programmable control of the interior environmental temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide (CO2), and oxygen (O2) concentration thus providing optimal conditions for embryo development.
 " Additionally, it has an automated system that can be programmed to add a chemical fixative to the egg,which stops the development process and preserves the embryo, at specific times during incubation.
 " The ADF also rotates eggs – similar to the turning in a natural environment. Temperature can be maintained within +/-.05 degree Celsius of the set point between the range of 78.8 degrees Fahrenheit (26 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). The relative humidity can be maintained within +/- 7.5% of the set point between the range 50 and 70 percent.
 " The Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide levels are actively controlled to the set points defined by the researcher and the range of centrifugal force provided by the carousels is 0 to 1-g (in 0.1-g increments).
 " The ADF fits into a middeck locker on the Orbiter, making it easily accessible prior to launch and after landing."

The infinite population simple genetic algorithm is a discrete dynamical system model of a genetic algorithm. It is conjectured that trajectories in the model always converge to fixed points. This paper shows that an arbitrarily small perturbation of the fitness will result in a model with a finite number of fixed points. Moreover, every sufficiently small perturbation of fimess preserves the finiteness of the fixed point set. These results allow proofs and constructions that require finiteness of the fixed point set. For example, applying the stable manifold theorem to a fixed point requires the hyperbolicity of the differential of the transition map of the genetic algorithm, which requires (among other things) that the fixed point be isolated.

Sarasota (/ˌsærəˈstə/) is a city located in Sarasota County on the southwestern coast of the U.S. state of Florida. The area is renowned for its cultural and environmental amenities, beaches, resorts, connections to the Ringling family, and the Sarasota School of Architecture. The city is located at the southern end of the Tampa Bay Area, north of Fort Myers and Punta Gorda. Its current official limits include Sarasota Bay and several barrier islands between the bay and the Gulf of Mexico. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2013 Sarasota had a population of 53,326. In 1986 it became designated as a certified local government. Sarasota is a principal city of the Sarasota metropolitan area, and is the seat of Sarasota County.
The city limits had expanded significantly with the real estate rush of the early twentieth century, reaching almost 70 square miles (180 km2). The wild speculation boom began to crash in 1926 and following that, the city limits began to contract, shrinking to less than a quarter of that area.[9]

It's known that people who live or work in rural areas are more likely to suffer and die from serious injuries compared to those in more urban environments.

A Fubini theorem for categorical limits
We prove that $lim_{J × K} G = lim_J (lim_K G(j, -))$ for a functor G : J × K ⥤ C, when all the appropriate limits exist.
We begin working with a functor F : J ⥤ K ⥤ C. We'll write G : J × K ⥤ C for the associated "uncurried" functor.
In the first part, given a coherent family D of limit cones over the functors F.obj j, and a cone c over G, we construct a cone over the cone points of D. We then show that if c is a limit cone, the constructed cone is also a limit cone.
In the second part, we state the Fubini theorem in the setting where limits are provided by suitable has_limit classes.
We construct limit_uncurry_iso_limit_comp_lim F : limit (uncurry.obj F) ≅ limit (F ⋙ lim) and give simp lemmas characterising it. For convenience, we also provide limit_iso_limit_curry_comp_lim G : limit G ≅ limit ((curry.obj G) ⋙ lim) in terms of the uncurried functor.
Future work
The dual statement.

A structure carrying a diagram of cones over the the functors F.obj j.
Extract the functor J ⥤ C consisting of the cone points and the maps between them, from a diagram_of_cones.
Given a diagram D of limit cones over the F.obj j, and a cone over uncurry.obj F, we can construct a cone over the diagram consisting of the cone points from D.
Given a functor F : J ⥤ K ⥤ C, with all needed limits, we can construct a diagram consisting of the limit cone over each functor F.obj j, and the universal cone morphisms between these.

Usage – ways of dressing and others
After exploring the different factors that are involved in decorative development, some examples allow the evocation of the role and place that fabrics play in the social life, as marks of identity, such as elements of profane or religious rituals or as vectors of artistic expression.
The majority of decorated fabrics that enter into social rituals, or have a symbolic function with their patterns or colours, are mainly clothing but they can also have other profane or ceremonial uses.

Besides the fact that costumes of which woven designs or dyes are important marks of identity in the minorities in the south of China, women use these textile pieces intended for other uses. This is the case with marriage sacks, as well as bed covers that will be part of the trousseau of the young married couple.

The flag of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands was adopted in July 1985, by the Second Northern Marianas Constitution. The NMI flag was originally designed by Taga during the year 1985. Later during that year, they finalized the draft of the flag in the last CNMI constitutional convention. This was the most symbolic moment of the annexation of the CNMI.
The flag consists of three symbols: a star representing the United States, a latte stone representing the Chamorros, and a mwarmwar (decorative wreath) representing the Carolinians; the blue background represents the ocean and the Mariana Trench. (source: wikipedia)

Emily Hrovat graduated from the College of Wooster in 2016 with a BA in Economics and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and was attracted to CSU Economics' emphasis on feminist and other heterodox schools of economic thought. After graduating, she did two terms of service with AmeriCorps for an organization called College Possible, where she ran an after-school program for low-income first-generation high school seniors to guide them through the college application and financial aid process. This experience helped shape her interest in studying the intersections of economics with social and political forces. She wrote her undergraduate thesis on food insecurity in the LGBT+ community and the factors that influence not only food security status, but also an individual's decision to self-identify in a large-scale survey like the Census. As a graduate student, she plans to continue researching similar applications of consumer choice theory, focusing especially on reproductive justice within the United States.
