What time is it in Japan, the land of the rising sun? What is the time difference between its neighbors and between some of the biggest cities in the world? It's time to synchronize your watches and take a look.
What Time Zone Is Japan In?
Japan is in what is known as, Japan Standard Time JST (日本標準時, Nihon hyōjunji) and situated in the UTC time zone or GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) + 9 hours.
As the Archipelago extends in a north-east-south-west direction over a small latitude and longitude on the earth, the entire country is in the same time zone.

A Short History of Japan's Time Zones
Before the start of the Meiji era in 1868, Japan's regions were not in the same time zone. The time was based on the sun's position, so when the sun was at its highest point in the sky, it was midday.
With the development and increased need for rail travel and greater accuracy in train schedules, this system quickly left arrivals and departures in a mess. In 1888, Ordinance 51 was passed, which, although it took two years to be implemented, reset all clocks in the Archipelago to the same time.

In 1895, when Japan ruled Taiwan, Ordinance 167 renamed the time zone "central normal time" (中央標準時, chūō hyōjunji) while "new normal Western time" (西部標準時, seibu hyōjunji) was in place in Taiwan and parts of Okinawa. This time zone was in place until 1937, when it was abolished, putting the whole of Japan, including Okinawa, in the same time zone.

Does Japan Have Daylight Savings?
Between 1948 and 1952, during Japan's American occupation, summertime started from the first Sunday in May to the second Saturday in September. However, when the Americans left, the notion of changing the clocks during the summer months was also abolished.
Since then, Japan has not changed the time and remains on winter time for the entire year. Even though summertime's return started some debates whether to reintroduce the practice of daylight savings, it was felt that the inconvenience of changing the time outweighed the advantages, so Japan never (re)adopted the practice.

What Is The Time Differences Between Japan and Other Major Cities in the World?
Japan remains the same as the Korean peninsula (Korean Standard Time) for the entire year. Like Japan, South Korea never changes the time, and therefore Tokyo is always the same time as Seoul. Japan is also the same time as eastern Indonesia (Indonesian Eastern Standard Time). Regarding the time difference between other Asian countries, Tokyo is 1 hour ahead of Beijing, 2 hours ahead of Bangkok, and 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of Mumbai for the whole year.
Tokyo is 9 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time, which feels obvious as Japan is known as the land of the rising sun. The Japanese capital is therefore 9 hours ahead of London in winter but only 8 hours in summer.
France also changes its time and therefore the time difference between Tokyo and Paris is 8 hours in winter and 7 hours in summer.
Tokyo is 12 hours ahead of Sao Paulo and 14 hours ahead of New York. When the Tokyo Stock Exchange closes at 3 pm, it is only 1 am for the traders in New York!
The whole of Japan is on Japan Standard Time, which is GMT +9 hours. Tokyo is therefore 7 hours ahead of Paris in summer and 8 hours in winter.

Originaire de Paris, je suis arrivée au Japon début 2020 pour m'installer à Nagoya. Si chaque voyage suscite un parfum distinct, les modes de vie aux antipodes des nôtres me fascinent, et l'histoire me passionne. Je vibre tout particulièrement dans les sites religieux. J'aime ces chocs culturels qui bousculent nos habitudes et nos visions du monde, et nous bouleversent en profondeur.

Support User Transaction in sCrypt Debugger
We are happy to announce that sCrypt debugger now allows users to input their own transactions when debugging. This is essential when a contract written in sCrypt uses checkSig operation, which needs the current transaction to calculate and verify signature.
Below is an example configuration for debugging a contract. Besides attributes introduced before, there is a new attribute txContext with the following fields:
- hex: current transaction to be used in signature verification in hex format. It can be either signed or unsigned
- opReturn: initial data part of a stateful contract in ASM format. Multiple data pushes are allowed such as "00 1122 ffac"
- inputSatoshis: the amount of the UTXO referenced by the input, in satoshis
- inputIndex: index of the input in the transaction that is spending the UTXO containing our contract
Use Transaction from Testnet
We can debug contracts on the Bitcoin network. For instance, we deployed contract HashPuzzleP2PKH onto testnet using this code. It resulted in two transactions: one containing the contract in its output script and the other spending the output. From the spending transaction, we can easily find txContext and entryMethodParams. From the transaction being spent, we can identify constructorParams. The full debug configuration can be found here.

Sakaguchi Test Definition
Sakaguchi test is a biochemical test consisting of colorimetric reaction for the detection and quantification of guanidinium groups, used as a qualitative test for arginine that is either free or in protein. The test was discovered by and named after the Japanese Food Scientist Shoyo Sakaguchi in 1925. Sakaguchi test is an example of color reactions or test that is performed for the detection of amino acids or proteins. The test is a specific test for arginine where the guanidinium group of arginine reacts with 1-naphthol or α-naphthol to produce a colored product. It is a qualitative test, and the quantification of arginine is hindered in this test due to the slow rate of color development and destruction of some guanidinium groups by the reagent.
Objective of Sakaguchi Test
- To detect the presence of arginine in either free form or in proteins.
Principle of Sakaguchi Test
Sakaguchi test is based on the principle of reaction between 1-naphthol and the guanidinium groups in arginine, in the presence of an oxidizing agent. The exact mechanism of the reaction is not yet known; however, the reaction results in the formation of a red-colored complex due to the formation of an indole-like structure. The Sakaguchi reagent consists of sodium hypobromite and 1-naphthol. The sodium hypobromite acts as an oxidizing agent that facilitates the hydrogen bonding between two arginine molecules.
Image Source: Zlir'a.
- Sakaguchi reagent: 1% 1-naphthol in alcohol with a few drops of 10% sodium hypobromite solution of bromine water.
- 40% NaOH
- Sample (0.1% of arginine or 0.1% of creatine)
- Test tubes
- Test tube stand
Procedure of Sakaguchi Test
- About 3 ml of the test solution is added in a test tube, to which 1 ml of 40% NaOH is added and mixed correctly.
- Then, two drops of 1-naphthol are added to the same test tube and mixed thoroughly.
- Now, 4-5 drops of the 10% sodium hypobromite or bromine water is added.
- The test tube is observed for the development of color.
Result and Interpretation of Sakaguchi Test
- Positive result: A positive result on the Sakaguchi's test is demonstrated by the formation of red color. This indicates the presence of an arginine or guanidinium compound.
- Negative result: A negative result in the Sakaguchi's test is demonstrated by the absence of red color. This indicates an absence of arginine or a guanidinium compound.
Uses of Sakaguchi Test
- Sakaguchi's Test is a biochemical test for the detection of arginine in the free or combined form in proteins.
- The test is qualitative but can be made quantitative by the addition of urea that stabilizes the colored product.
- Quantitative analysis of the colored product is not possible with this test as the rate of Sakaguchi's reaction is slow.
- Similarly, some of the guanidinium groups in the solution might be destroyed by the hypochlorite, resulting in difficulties in testing results.

Self-produced booklets by migrant parents about their own educational background
To make a folder that compares the migrant parents' educational background with the Danish school system and its pedagogical background. The aim is to create dialog and understanding.
How to do:
1. Meeting – parents and teachers
a. The parents in each class talk together two and two about their own educational background. They talk about their experiences with: education, homework, discipline, teachers, school yard, and how their parents worked together with the teachers.
Each pair of parents agrees on a history they want to tell, and the stories will be recorded on tape.
b. The parents talk together about their children's education, and choose one ore two stories, and the stories will also be recorded on tape.
An interpreter helps the teacher to translate and write the stories. These stories are collected in a small booklet.
The small booklet will be sent home to all the parents.
2. Meeting – parents and teachers
In this meeting the parents tell their story. The teachers and the other parents ask questions and compare with their own education and school. Then they compare with their children's education and school and their way of learning.
3. Meeting – Parents, teachers and children
In this meeting the children create plays about their parent's stories. (There will be taken a lot of photos of every subject)
The subject of the sketches and the histories are:
- Parents and teachers work together
After each subject there will be discussions, comparisons and questions about the subject and to the teaching which is going on (right) now for the children. Subjects, discussions, arguments and questions are written and collected together with the photos in a (small) booklet.
The booklets are sent to the parents.
Through dialogue, debate, arguments and questions, the two booklets the parents have made themselves are going to be used as a key to understanding. In addition it creates knowledge and the possibility to ask questions.
The booklet can be adapted to different age levels.

SWEEP: The angle measuring how far the outline of the fin is curved backwards; also referred to as rake. Sweep has a direct influence on pivot. Fins with more sweep produce a longer turning arc, less sweep offers a tighter turning arc.
FLEX: The distortion of the fin from its original shape caused by lateral pressure during a manoeuvre. Flex influences the response characteristics of a fin. Fins with little flex (stiff) produce instant response, speed and drive. Fins with more flex (flexy) are more forgiving and offer a whipping sensation.

Pumice is a light siliceous vesicular volcanic rock that is suitable for use in horticulture and hydroponics. Its porosity provides air spaces that maintain aerobic conditions around the roots while water is contained within the pores. Surface tension around the outside of theparticles increases water-holding capacity of the growing medium.
Ouris mined from a land based resource, within 50kms of Lake Taupo in the North Island of New Zealand, and it is characterized by its relative hardness and lightweight in comparison to competing aggregates. The washing and screening of our particularly for horticultural applications means that no 'fine' particles are included. Unwashed can cause 'concreting' and higher water holding capacity than required, consequently effecting root development.
This hardness and porosity allows free drainage lowering the risk of root-rot diseases.
Pumice grades supplied for horticultural uses include:


Owning a home isn't always easy. Every homeowner has a horror story when it comes to disrepair or flooding. Sometimes, the problems can feel pretty overwhelming. Therefore, of course it's natural to immediately panic at the first sight of a tear, crack, drip or break. At Flawless Masonry, we're in the business of helping Long Island homeowners upgrade their homes. However, sometimes it's more important to deal with disrepair first.
Several homeowners have one very similar concern: their bricks are beginning to crack or crumble. Of course, this would stress any homeowner out. Many jump to the conclusion that this is a severe problem that cannot wait another second to be fixed. However, this isn't necessarily a critical emergency. In this post, we'll explore what cracking bricks could mean and how to handle them.
Brick Cracking 101
There are a few different kinds of brick cracking. There's vertical cracking, horizontal, diagonal or crumbling. Obviously, none of them are ideal. Nobody wants to see cracking or crumbling of any kind in their house.
However, the most important thing to do is to identify the cause of the cracking. This way, you can swiftly fix the issue. In addition, you can do what is necessary to prevent any future breaking/cracking.
What Causes It?
Several factors can lead to brick cracking. Some of them are natural and relatively benign. However, some of them can be a sign of a very serious foundation problem. Don't immediately assume it's a grave problem!
Usually, brick cracking is a byproduct of your house just naturally settling. Over time, every house settles into the earth. This is especially true if your plot was excavated before your house was constructed. As your home's weight continues to make the earth more compact, this often leads to cracking. Your house may be settling unevenly, or it may not even be a foundational issue.
If settling isn't the reason for your cracking bricks, then it might be water. Bricks are a naturally porous and absorbent material. Therefore, they often retain water from rain or leaking pipes. Very often, exposure to the sun will evaporate the water and dry the bricks. However, if there's too much water within, they can expand. Usually, this is what will cause the cracking.
Problematic Brick Cracking
Unfortunately, not all brick cracking is benign. While they all can be ugly and irritating, others are indicative of a really serious problem. Sadly, it's almost impossible to tell the difference between severe issues or otherwise without a professional mason. However, the following are all symptomatic of severe foundation issues:
 - Doors and windows not closing properly
 - Sudden, dramatic changes in brick crack shape/size
 - Cracks near foundation/roof
 - Leaning chimney
If your brick cracking is not a severe foundation issue, then luckily repairs can be done by a reliable mason pretty quickly. However, if the problem is extensive, you'll need to enlist the help of a foundation repair company. Step one is to determine the cause of the cracking. Next, your mason will develop a plan to mitigate the damage. The most important thing to do is to call on a professional for help, and then go from there.
Flawless Masonry
Cracking or crumbling isn't always a sign of impending doom. As long as you address it right away and don't procrastinate, you can avoid costly issues.

EDC is an increasingly common abbreviation for Every Day Carry. In it's simplest definition it means the things you carry every day, like car keys, a phone and maybe a pocket knife. EDC items are those that you carry in your pockets or in a reasonably sized bag that you use to accomplish daily tasks. The items vary depending on what a person does on a daily basis.
Because of this, EDC will tend to be very personalized to the individual. There is normally an emphasis on quality items that will function reliably, but disposable items like latex gloves are often found in an EDC bag. In some cases, EDC items will be fairly expensive, high quality items with an emphasis on lightweight but strong materials such as titanium and carbon fiber.
Most EDC items are selected to provide the user with a sense of preparedness and capability. These items will often be things that are a little bit overkill or unique, and EDC gear tends to constantlybe in a state of evolution as it is tailored to the user's requirements and preferences.
Common EDC items are listed below:
- Folding knife
- Multitool such as a Leatherman
- Wrist watch
- Cell phone
- Pen, pencil
- Pocket notebook
- First aid kit
EDC items often cross into tactical items such as larger knives, handguns, and pens that double as striking weapons or kubatons.


NCG CAM machines using triangulations as standard, which are quick to calculate and check against for gouge free machining. True surface machining is optional for users to select, should they wish. Machining the surfaces spaces the points in the NC Tape file more uniformly, giving a better / smoother machine movement on some machine tools. However, the calculations to ensure the machining is gouge free will take longer in most cases.
The better the surface finish means less hand polishing, which saves time and money, it also reduces any mis-match / flash caused by polishing rolling/belling corners.

Fasting for Blood Work Medication
Fasting is a religious prayer in various types of religion. Whether it is Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity, fasting exist in any form. The purpose of fasting is to clean your inside soul and get closer to God. Fasting is the name given to stop eating and drinking for a certain period of time. By this, followers pray as much as they can to get God's blessings. Not only fasting gives you spiritual benefits, it also rectifies some imbalance happening in your whole body. It is found to be very effective for treating high blood pressure and to control high cholesterol in human beings. Now, the modern medical science gives too much importance to fasting as it is necessary in various medical treatments.

Fasting for Blood Work Medication
There are various types of medical tests that require you to be in fast for certain hours. Sometimes, you have to stay away from meal, water, alcohol and cigarettes or from any one of these or a mix. However, it all depends on the nature of test as there are some tests in which you can continue to take your medications. So, ask healthcare professional about this.
As mentioned in previous lines, some medicines do affect blood test reports. But still you can use them even if you are fasting from meals and alcohols. Oral corticosteroids usually increases the level of cholesterol in the blood, however your healthcare advisor can allow you to continue using this. What he or she does, is he or she takes into account this factor while interpreting the blood test report. If you are going to a new doctor or healthcare advisor, you should bring your medicines so that he/she could see and suggest you whether to continue or not while undergoing for a blood test.
Medicines Are Working?
Some tests are done to check the effectiveness of medicines given to patient. You should not stop taking these medicines even before blood test. However, these sorts of tests require fasting, but there is exception to this rule. You are in fast but still taking medicines with a small sip of water.
Types of Test Requiring Fasting Prohibiting Medications
Irons Blood Test
It is also called Iron Deficiency Test. It is used to count the level of red blood cell. Deficiency of red blood cell leads to anemia. If your doctor has suggested you to take on this test, then you should not take iron supplement before the tests. It may inflate iron in your body artificially and the report will not be presenting a real picture.
Fasting blood glucose test
This test is done to check the level of sugar in the blood. For this you have to be in fast for around 12 hours. Avoid taking or eating high sugar food items or medicines, so that it would not affect your fasting blood glucose test report.
Blood cholesterol test
In this test, you are also required to be in fast for 9 to 12 hours. You can drink water during this time. But avoid taking tea, coffee and other beverages. Ask your doctor whether you can stop using certain types of medicines. As some medicines could increase your cholesterol level such as birth control pills, your doctor may prohibit its usage as well before the test.

Sending SMS using the phone facilities and using web service are different things. You have to create HTTP connection and surf to URL of your web service using either GET or POST method (according to the documentation of the web service). Example of your URL contains parameters, so I guess you should use GET.
Take the following example _URL_
and modify it as you need.

Python Question
Are objects erased from memory when a function finishes? Python
Say there is
class thing(object):
def __init__(self):
self.text = "foo"
def bar():
obj = thing()
_TAG_ something with the object
Is obj deleted from memory after bar() finishes, or is it still in memory, just can't be accessed since it is a local variable of bar? (This assumes obj is not put into a global or external container such as a dictionary or list, of course).
The object obj references will be deleted when the function exits.
That's because CPython (the default Python implementation) uses reference counting to track object lifetimes. obj is a local variable and only exists for the duration of the function. thing() is an instance with just one reference, obj, and when obj is cleaned up, the reference count drops to 0 and thing() is immediately deleted.
If you are using PyPy, IronPython, Jython or some other implementation, object destruction can be delayed as implementations are free to use different garbage collection schemes. This is only important for implementing a __del__ method, as their invocation can be delayed.
I recommend you read the excellent Facts and myths about Python names and values if you want to know more about how Python names work.

An archaeological expedition to unearth clues about Nate
Harrison, a Palomar Mountain homesteader who is generally
considered the county's first permanent black resident, has
answered some questions about his life —— and possibly raised new
Last summer, San Diego State University students dug up more
than 6,100 artifacts at the old homestead site on Nate Harrison
Grade, a rocky, treacherous road named for the former slave who
fled Kentucky in the mid-1800s to find freedom in California.
Professor Seth Mallios, who led a dozen summer-school students
on the dig for three weeks, will present the findings in a lecture
at 11 a.m. Saturday at the San Diego Archaeological Center in
Escondido, 16666 San Pasqual Valley Road.
Artifacts from the dig, now stored at SDSU, have been catalogued
and researched nonstop since the dig ended in June 2004.
When Nate Harrison fell ill and left Palomar Mountain in 1920,
he left behind a legacy riddled with questions.
"He's a legend for the county —— and I mean that in the good
ways and the bad ways," Mallios said.
Mallios said Harrison was a remarkable man who made friends in
many communities —— the neighboring Pauma American Indians, the
white frontiersmen and other black settlers. But many of the
stories that follow Harrison are too fantastic, Mallios said.
"I feel like maybe it was he who chopped down his father's
cherry tree and could not tell a lie," Mallios said. Some tales
tell of Harrison killing a mountain lion or mixing lizards into his
That's why Mallios set out to conduct the first-ever dig on
Harrison's former homestead —— about 15 acres in size, according to
an 1896 survey map. Mallios said the property's current owners,
Jamey and Hannah Kirby, were happy to host an excavation. They
built a shower and latrine for the students to use while they
camped on the side of the mountain.
One thing the diggers discovered is that Harrison had a
fascination with keeping time, Mallios said. They found three clock
gears, a clock back and a fob and chain for a pocket watch.
Harrison is often seen with a pocket watch in old photographs.
Why would an isolated man on a mountain care about time?
Mallios said the fascination was nationwide. By the late 1800s,
railroads had revolutionized transportation in the United States ——
and Americans saw the standardization of time zones.
For graduate student Sarah Stroud, the timepieces were very
exciting finds. The students found the wooden mouthpiece for a
tobacco pipe, too, which also appears in those old photographs.
"These are all very personal possessions that he would have
used, treasured," Stroud said.
The students also found remains of Harrison's house, including
parts of stone footings and a wooden shake-shingle roof.
Stroud said her favorite find is a piece of pencil lead. She
immediately wondered if it belonged to Harrison, which could be a
clue to his literacy.
For a black man who already defied the odds —— finding freedom
and integrating into a new community —— the ability to write would
be a major feat.

Schlumberger Foundation Awards Announcement for the 2023-2024 Faculty for the Future Fellowships
The Schlumberger Foundation is an independent nonprofit entity that supports science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Since its inception, the Foundation has focused on funding
a variety of programs in scientific educational all over the world.
Recognizing the link between science, technology, and socioeconomic development as well as the role of education in realizing individual potential, we developed Faculty for the Future, our flagship program.
This community of women in STEM from developing countries grows every year, and is connecting via Forums, both online and in-person.
Faculty for the Future
The program's long-term goal is to accelerate gender equality in STEM by generating conditions that result in more women pursuing scientific careers through alleviating some of the barriers they encounter
when enrolling in STEM disciplines. The program is committed to gender parity in science in the interests of sustainable development and recognizes that full access to and participation in a STEM
curriculum is essential for the empowerment of women and girls. By accelerating gender equality in STEM, the talent and capacities of these women can be developed for the benefit of their local communities,
regions and nations.
The program awards fellowships for advanced research in STEM at leading research institutes abroad. Faculty for the Future Fellows are expected to return to their home countries upon completion of their
studies to contribute to the economic, social and technological advancement of their home regions by strengthening the STEM teaching and research faculties of their home institutions as well as through
their leadership in science-based entrepreneurship. They are also expected to contribute to the public sector where their newly acquired technical and scientific skills can help provide evidence-based
support for STEM policy making, including topics of gender representation.
This program acts as a catalyst for these women to further tap into their potential. Through heightened motivation, sharpened self-awareness and a lasting passion for science they in turn capture the
imagination of other women and girls around them to regard scientific pursuits as a necessary means towards advancement and growth.
Since its launch in 2004, 863 women from 90 countries have received Faculty for the Future fellowships for PhD and Post-Doctorate STEM research programs. Through interactive online tools and in-person
meetings, the program provides a platform for these women to take joint action in identifying and unravelling the impediments that are holding back equal opportunities in STEM education and careers
in their local communities and home countries.

Simple solutions satisfying grid and cloud computational needs
With the maturation of Grid computing facilities and recent explosion of cloud computing data centers, mid-scale computational science has more options than ever before to satisfy computational needs. But heterogeneity brings complexity.
We propose a simple abstraction for interaction with heterogeneous resource managers spanning grid and cloud computing, and on features that make the tool useful for the mid-scale physical or natural scientist. Key strengths of the abstraction are:
- its support for multiple standard job specification languages
- preservation of direct user interaction with the service
- removing the delay that can come through layers of services
- the predictable behavior under heavy loads

What is Black Phosphorus Graphite Composite?
Views : 139
Update time : 2020-10-29 13:58:53
Black Phosphorus Graphite Composite is a new composite material made from Black phosphorus and graphite. Black phosphorus (BP) is a desirable anode material for alkali metal ion storage owing to its high electronic/ionic conductivity and theoretical capacity. An in-depth understanding of the redox reactions between BP and the alkali metal ions is key to reveal the potential and limitations of BP, and thus to guide the design of BPbased composites for highperformance alkali metal-ion batteries.
A few days ago, the team of Professor Ji Hengxing from the University of Science and Technology of China published a scientific research result in the top international magazine "Science"-they have made a major breakthrough in the research of new lithium-ion battery electrode materials: a newly designed black phosphorus composite material is possible A lithium-ion battery with the three advantages of high capacity, fast charging and long life is prepared.
Ji Hengxing introduced that if this technology is put into use, "we may be able to fully charge an electric car in about 10 minutes and drive about 500 kilometers." Long charging time has always been the shortcoming of electric vehicles. Currently, the most advanced electric vehicles on the market need to "wait" for an hour to drive about 500 kilometers. The development of large-capacity lithium-ion batteries with fast charging capabilities has always been an important goal of the electric vehicle industry.
The electrode material is a key factor in determining battery performance indicators. "If you want to increase the battery charging speed, you need a material with a fast electrochemical reaction. One of the very important criteria is whether the electrode material has a strong ability to conduct electrons and ions." Ji Hingxing said the research team hopes to discover An electrode material that can not only give the industry expectations in terms of comprehensive performance indicators but also adapt to the industrial battery production process.
The first author of the thesis, Dr. Hongchang Jin, introduced: "Energy enters and exits the battery through the chemical reaction between lithium ions and electrode materials. Therefore, the conductivity of the electrode material to lithium ions is the key to determining the charging speed; in addition, the electrode material per unit mass or volume contains lithium ions. The amount is also an important factor."
The Jixingxing team found that black phosphorus is an excellent choice. First of all, its theoretical capacity is very high, second only to single crystal silicon or metallic lithium. Secondly, as a semiconductor material, it has a strong ability to conduct electrons. Third, black phosphorus has a layered structure, and lithium ions can be quickly conducted between the layers of the black phosphorus sheet. These excellent properties make black phosphorus a very promising electrode material that can realize the fast charging of lithium-ion batteries.
Black phosphorus is an allotrope of white phosphorus, and it is an electrode material with great potential to meet the requirements of fast charging. However, a series of current studies have found that there is a certain gap between the comprehensive performance indicators of black phosphorus and expectations. Black phosphorus is prone to structural damage from the edge of the layered structure, and the measured performance is far lower than theoretical expectations. For this reason, Ji Xingxing team adopted the strategy of "interface engineering" to connect black phosphorus and graphite through phosphorus-carbon covalent bonds to make its structure more stable, and the process of lithium ions entering the black phosphorus particles is easier, which greatly improves Lithium-ion conduction, which may have been limited, is eliminated.
In addition, the electrode material will be wrapped in chemicals that gradually decompose the electrolyte during the working process. Some substances will prevent lithium ions from entering the electrode material, just like dust on the glass surface hinders light penetration. The research team put a layer of clothing on the composite material for this purpose. They used a thin polymer gel to make a dust-proof coat and "worn" on the surface of the black phosphorous graphite composite material to allow lithium ions to enter smoothly.
"Under the interface optimization of these two levels, this black phosphorous composite material has achieved a breakthrough in performance." Ji Hingxing said.
"We use conventional process routes and technical parameters to make the black phosphorous composite material into the electrode sheet. Laboratory measurement results show that the electrode sheet can recover about 80% of the power after 9 minutes of charging, and it can still maintain 90% of the capacity after 2000 cycles." Xin Sen, the co-first author of the paper and a researcher at the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that if mass production of this material can be achieved, and matching cathode materials and other auxiliary materials can be found, the optimized design will be expected to achieve an energy density of 350 Wh. /Kg, and has a lithium-ion battery with fast charging capability. This means that it can make electric vehicles travel close to 1,000 kilometers, and will increase the user experience of electric vehicles to a higher level.
On this basis, the Jixingxing team will continue to explore in terms of basic research and scale preparation technology. In-depth understanding of basic scientific issues such as the microstructure, physical and chemical properties, and electrochemical reaction process of electrode materials, as well as the performance requirements of the industry for core materials, are necessary to achieve breakthroughs in battery technology and promote the development of consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and other related fields condition. "To achieve this vision, there is still a lot of work to be done, but we are full of hope for the future." Ji Hengxing said.

Set actions, released in Tableau 2018.3, are one of the most powerful new Tableau features since Level of Detail (LOD) expressions. Prior to their release, I had never used sets before. So, it took me a while to wrap my head around the use cases for creating a set and then running an action to dynamically update it. However, in the last 6 weeks of using 2018.3, I have come to realize how revolutionary set actions are. They allow for new ways to interact with data, which in turn improve the end-user experience and facilitate quicker time to insight. I've developed a strong understanding of set actions and used them to create everything from a crossword puzzle to a collapsible table with bar charts. In the article below, I'd like to share what I've learned about sets and set actions so that you can get started using one of the most exciting new features in Tableau (and if you've never used sets before, don't be afraid!)
What are sets?
Sets allow you to take members within a dimension and group them into two categories: IN or OUT. For example, the region dimension within Sample SuperStore has four values: Central, East, South, and West. If we only wanted to look at data for the Central and West regions, we could create a set with groupings of IN (Central, West) and OUT (South, East).
This can be done by right clicking on any dimension in the data pane and selecting create > set.
In the set dialogue box, there is the option to choose which values to include IN the set. We can use the condition or top tabs to specify logic that determines the values IN/OUT of the set (e.g., top two regions by sales), or we can manually select which dimension members to include IN the set. For this example, we will manually select the values of Central and West.
After creating the set, a new "Sets" section will appear in the data pane beneath the available measures on the left-hand side of the screen. This is where we can go to access our newly created region set.
Like a dimension, a created set can be dragged from the data pane into a worksheet. For example, if we create a new worksheet and add the region dimension to the rows shelf, we can then drag the Region Set from the sets pane onto the text mark. The result is that for each member of the region dimension, we can see whether it is in or out of the set.
The set can also be used in calculations. Anything IN the set evaluates to True while anything out of the set evaluates to False. To use sets in a calculation, use the following syntax:
IF [Name of Set] THEN "What to do if a value is in the set" ELSE "What to do if a value is not in the set" END
While there is a lot more that can be done with sets, these are the most important things to know to use set actions. If you want to learn more about sets, check out the following articles:
What are actions?
Actions allow users to interact with the content present on a worksheet or dashboard. Actions pass along a selected data point to some other part of the dashboard or workbook.
There are four different types of actions:
- filter (the value selected is used to filter specified worksheets)
- highlight (the value selected is brought to the front – highlighted – where it appears on other worksheets)
- URL (the value selected is passed into a URL, which is then executed in a new web page)
- set (the value selected is passed into a created set)
Once the desired action is selected, there are three different ways to trigger an action:
- select (clicking on a mark)
- hover (mousing over a mark)
- menu (clicking on a mark and then clicking on a hyperlink in the tooltip)
Set actions function similarly to filter actions, so let's review the flow of how a filter action works.
If I had the following dashboard, looking at Sales by State and Sales by Region, I could set up a filter action so that every time I clicked on the West region bar, the map on the left would filter to only the states in that region. Clicking on the East region bar would filter the map to only the states in the East, etc.
What is this filter action doing? Whatever region is selected on the sales by region bar is passed, through the action, onto the filters shelf of the Sales by State worksheet.
What are set actions?
As I previously mentioned, sets place members of a dimension into one of two groups, IN the set or OUT of the set. Actions pass values from a selected data point into some other component. Set actions then, allow users to dynamically update which members are in a set through interacting with a data point. When a mark is clicked on, instead of the dimension member (such as West) being passed to the filter shelf, the member is passed into the set. The new dimension member(s) being passed into the set, replace whatever member(s) were in the set previously. Before set actions, there was no way for the user to change what values were in the set. However, now that it is possible to change the set within a dashboard, a whole new world of possibilities exists.
Let's revisit the Region Set we created earlier and add a set action to the worksheet to allow the user to choose which regions to include in the set.
To create a set action, go to worksheet > actions > add action > change set values.
The set action dialogue looks like the following:
The following items need to be thought through when determining how to configure a set action:
- Where should the action be run? Like filter actions, you have to choose which worksheets or dashboards the action should run on. Should it only run on a specific dashboard? Should it run on only a worksheet? Should it run on both? For this example, we want the action to run only on the worksheet Sales by Region (In/Out Region in my screenshot).
- How should the user activate the action? Like filter actions, you have to choose if the action will be run when clicking (selecting) on a mark, hovering over a mark, or through a menu that appears in the tooltip after clicking on a mark. For this example, we want the action to run upon selecting (clicking).
- What set should be updated/changed? Specify which data source the set is created on followed by the name of the set to use. In this example, we are using the Sample – Superstore data and the set is called Region Set.
- What should happen when the user clears the selection? What is selected for this portion has the most impact over how the set action will operate. So, let's do a deep dive into each of the options. First off, what does "clear the selection" even mean? This depends on how the action is run.If select is chosen, when the user clicks on a mark, the mark is highlighted and the other values dim. Clearing the selection refers to what happens when the user deselects a mark (by clicking on again), returning the visual to normal. In this example, clicking on a region of West will add West to the set. The question we need to answer is: what should happen when the user deselects West?
If hover is chosen, when the user mouses over a mark (and a black border appears), the dimension member will be added to the set. Clearing the selection refers to what happens when the user moves their mouse and is no longer hovering over the dimension member. In this example, hovering over a region of East will add East to the set. The question we need to answer is: what should happen when the user is no longer hovered over East?
If menu is chosen, when the user clicks on a mark, a tooltip will appear with a hyperlink. Clicking on the hyperlink will add the dimension member to the set. Like actions run on select, the mark is highlighted and the other values dim. Clearing the selection refers to what happens when the user deselects a mark (by clicking on what is blue), returning the visual to normal. The question we need to answer is: what should happen when the user deselects West?
Now that we know what clear the selection is referring to, what are the options to answer the questions posed above? There are three options for what to do when a mark is cleared, like those on filter actions. If we look at our worksheet, clicking on Central will add it to the set.
When clearing the selection is set to keep set values, deselecting Central does not change the set in any way. Central will stay in the set until another mark activates the set action.
When clearing the selection is set to add all values to the set, deselecting Central adds all regions into the set. Every region is IN the set.
When clearing the selection is set to remove all values from set, deselecting central removes all values from the set. Every region is OUT of the set.
To recap: clearing the selection refers to what should happen to the set when the user deselects a mark (run action on select and menu) or when the user moves their mouse to no longer hover over a mark (run action on hover). The options include:
- Keep set values (a value stays in the set until another mark activates the set action)
- Add all values to the set (clearing the mark will place every value IN the set)
- Remove all values from set (clearing the mark will place very value OUT of the set)
For this example, we want the action to add all values to the set when

If you want to maintain a healthy lawn, avoid exposing it to products that contain uric acid. If your goal is to kill off a lawn in order to install a new one or replace it with something else, treating it with healthy doses of uric acid is a good way to kill the grass down to the roots and make it easy to remove.
What is Uric Acid?
Uric acid occurs naturally in the bodies of people, dogs and other mammals and is excreted in waste material. Uric acid contains large amounts of nitrogen and salt, materials mammals need to survive, but only up to certain point. Whatever the body doesn't need is excreted. Waste material contains varying amounts of uric acid. Uric acid is not harmful in small amounts, but can damage grass and other plants in larger, more concentrated doses.
A common source of uric acid for many lawn owners is the family dog. Dog urine contains high levels of uric acid, and dog owners with lawns are likely to see the familiar brown spots caused by dog urine. The problem is more common with female dogs that squat to urinate, since they deposit large amounts of urine in a concentrated area. Cat urine also contains uric acid, but few cats produce enough urine to do damage to grass. Fertilizer and manure also contain uric acid and using too much on a lawn is a sure way to kill it, which is why fertilizer labels contain warnings cautioning against overuse.
What Causes the Damage?
Uric acid damages grass because of its nitrogen and salt content. The salt coats the indivdual blades of grass and slowly leaches water from them, causing the grass to eventually die from dehydration. Nitrogen is less harmful, but an over-abudance of nitrates has the same effect on grass and can kill it by draining its water supply. A hot dry climate can accelerate this process and allow uric acid to damage or kill a lawn faster.
Though all types of grass are susceptible to damage from uric acid, some are more vulnerable than others. Kentucky bluegrass and perennial rye grass are two types that are easily killed off by uric acid. Hardier types such as Bermuda grass and St. Augustine grass are not damaged as easily and grow back more quickly when they are exposed to uric acid. Small amounts of dog urine don't contain enough uric acid to damage grass and can actually help it grow faster due to the additional nitrogen. The grass in the exposed area will grow taller and darker than the surrounding area.
Killing a Lawn with Uric Acid
The best way to get rid of a lawn using uric acid is through the liberal use of fertilizer. Choose any lawn care fertilizer and dose your lawn with three to four times the amount recommended on the label. Wait a few days, repeat the process, and the lawn will be on its way out. The combination of the salt and nitrates in the uric acid will dehydrate the leaves and infiltrate the roots with a buildup of sodium, bicarbonate and boron, making them unable to absorb nutrients.

This originally Norman surname of WARNKE was derived from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements WARIN (guard) and HERI (meaning army). The name has two distinct origins, it was a baptismal name 'the son of Warrener' and an occupational name meaning the keeper of the 'warren' a place privileged for the keeping of conies, hares, partridges and pheasants. The name is also spelt WARNE, WERNKE, WARNINCK, WARNKEN, WERTZ, WORLIN, WESSELMAN, WERNJTES and WESSELING, to name but a few. Early records of the name mention Edward WARNE who was recorded in County Devon in the year 1185, and Jervase de WERNE of the County Somerset was recorded in the year 1273. Gervase de WERNE appears during the reign of Edward III (_PHONE_). William WARNES of Yorkshire, was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379. Edward WARNE, of County Gloucestershire, registered at Oxford University in 1607. Hereditary surnames were originally imported from France into England during the Norman Conquest of 1066. In the two centuries or so after the Conquest surnames were acquired by most families of major landholders, and many landed families of lesser importance. There appears to have been a constant trickle of migration into Britain between about the years 1200 and 150O, mostly from France and the Low Countries, with a small number of migrants from Scandinavia, Germany, Italy and the Iberian peninsular, and occasional individuals from further afield. During this period groups of aliens settled in this country as for example, the Germans who from the late 15th century onwards settled in Cumbria to work the metal mines. Immigration during this time had only a small effect on the body of surnames used in Britain. In many cases, the surnames of immigrants were thoroughly Anglicised. The late sixteenth century saw the arrival, mostly in London and the south-coast ports of large numbers of people fleeing from the war regions of France. Robert Browne married Mary WARNES in Canterbury, Kent in the year 1661. Baptised. John, son of Stephen WARNES at St. Columb Major, Cornwall in 1707.

PXAccumulatorAttribute in Acumatica
Few notes about PXAccumulatorAttribute
 1. If to inherit from PXAccumulatorAttribute, you'll have access to member _SingleRecord. If to set in constructor to true, you'll configure single record update mode.
 2. There is PrepareInsert method. This method intended for updating policy for the data fields.
 3. PrepareInsert is invoked within Persist method, before Acumatica framework generates SQL commands for inserted data records.
 4. Among paramethers of PrepareInsert method there is PXAccumulatorCollection, which has method Update. In this method it's possible to configure fields which will be updated during PrepareInsert
 5. Method Update has following policies: PXDataFieldAssign.AssignBehavior.Initialize ( new value is inserted into the database column only if value is null ), PXDataFieldAssign.AssignBehavior.Replace ( new value replces old value ), PXDataFieldAssign.AssignBehavior.Summarize ( new value is added to the value stored in the database ), PXDataFieldAssign.AssignBehavior.Maximize ( maximum of the new value and the value from the database is saved in the database ), PXDataFieldAssign.AssignBehavior.Minimize ( minimum of the new value and the value form database is saved in the database )
So, in order to implement Accumulator attribute, following steps are needed:
1. Inherit class from PXAccumulatorAttribute
2. Implement PrepareInsert method
3. Implement PersistInserted method.

How to disable callback from Checkboxes in Acumatica
Hello everybody.
Today I want to share some details about inner kitchen of Checkboxes in grid of Acumatica.
If to look inside of generated grid of Acumatica with FireFox Dom and style inspector, you can see following structure:
Item with checkbox is implemented as td, which has div, and has another div. The first level div has data for internal ( Acumatica presentation ),
and second div, or internal div has data for user display.
Once I had task to disable callback from checkbox. You may wonder why somebody can have such task. The reason each tick at checkbox made
roundtrip to server, called number of delegates, which significantly slowed down perfomance. By the way, CommitChanges="false" didn't work.
I mean after setting CommitChanges="false" roundtrip still was made, which made life of client little bit more nervous.
So in order to fix CommitChanges="false" this I wrote the following javascript code:

When you pay part of your salary into a workplace pension, your employer and the government will contribute too. Each employer contributes a different amount, and the Government gives tax relief on your lower salary, where the saving on your income tax is paid into the pension. This is known as "salary sacrifice".
- Salary Sacrifice @ The Pensions Advisory Service
Excerpt: You sacrifice part of your salary. The amount you sacrifice is paid to your pension plan directly by your employer, rather than being paid to you. As a result of you having a lower salary, both you and your employer pay less National Insurance Contribution (NIC). As part of the salary sacrifice deal, your employer pays all or part of their NIC saving to your pension plan along with the sacrificed amount. For example, you earn £30,000 a year and decide you want to salary sacrifice £1,000. Your new salary is £29,000, with the employer paying £1,000 to your pension plan. You pay less NIC (and in some cases Income Tax) because your salary is lower. Your employer also pays less NICs and pays a percentage of their saving to your pension scheme.

The NIM Vital™ nerve monitoring system is intended for locating and monitoring, including stimulation, of cranial, spinal, peripheral motor, and mixed motor-sensory nerves and registering EMG responses during surgery.
The NIM Vital™ system may be used for EMG monitoring in support of surgical procedures including: intracranial, extracranial, intratemporal, extratemporal, and surgeries associated with the neck, spine, thorax, and upper and lower extremities.
The NIM Vital™ system is an intraoperative EMG monitor that enables users to locate and confirm the integrity of nerves during surgical procedures.
The system stimulates nerves (propagates an action potential) through a variety of stimulation probes that causes the muscle associated with the nerve to contract. The system then picks up these electric signals from the muscles through a variety of electrodes and converts this information into meaningful graphs and sounds that the system displays on the monitor.
The system also continuously monitors EMG activity from the muscles innervated by the nerve at risk.
The NIM Vital™ system is contraindicated for use with paralyzing anesthetic agents that will significantly reduce, if not completely eliminate, EMG responses to direct or passive nerve stimulation.
It is important that the NIM Vital™ system intended operators be familiar with the NIM Vital™ Instructions for Use: its warnings, precautions, procedures, and safety issues. Disregarding the information on safety is considered abnormal use.
W1 The NIM Vital™ system does not prevent the surgical severing of nerves. If monitoring is compromised, the surgical practitioner must rely on alternate methods, or surgical skills, experience, and anatomical knowledge to prevent damage to nerves.
W2 If paralyzing anesthetic agents have been used, patient must regain muscle activity prior to use of the NIM Vital™ EMG Monitor.
 1. To limit the paralytic effect of anesthetic agents, the anesthesiologist should monitor Train-of-Four (TOF) to prevent diminished EMG activity. Consult anesthesiologist if EMG changes are observed.
W3 Surgical identification of exposed nerves is key to their preservation. Failure to use Medtronic's nerve stimulation probe may contribute to unintended surgical nerve damage or resection.
 1. The user is responsible for ensuring the electrodes are placed or inserted into the target muscles. The electrode check or tap test only indicates that the electrodes are making contact with the patient's tissue and does not indicate that the needle is inserted into the correct muscle.
W4 To avoid the risk of fire or explosion, do not use the Medtronic NIM Vital™ system in the presence of flammable anesthetics and/or oxygen-rich environment.
W5 After each procedure, properly clean and disinfect all reusable system components.
W6 To avoid alternate site patient burns or lesions when patient interface is connected to the NIM Vital™ console through the patient interface cord:
 1. Do not activate the electrosurgical instruments (ESU) while stimulator is in contact with tissue.
 2. Do not leave dissection instruments, stimulating electrodes, or probes in surgical field.
 3. Do not store dissection instruments, stimulating electrodes, or probes in electrosurgical instrument holder.
 4. Do not allow a second surgeon (for example, fat harvesting) to use electrosurgical instruments while stimulator is in use.
 5. Do not activate electrosurgical instrument for prolonged periods while ESU is not in contact with tissue.
 6. Do not activate electrosurgical instrument near the recording or stimulating electrodes.
 7. Do not allow patient interfaces or recording/stimulating electrode sites to be flooded with saline.
 8. Do not allow excessive stray AC or DC leakage currents from patient connected to equipment. Avoid creating an unintended grounding path through applied electrodes. Practitioner is responsible for proper use, periodic safety certification of patient connected equipment, and AC power grounding in accordance to the appropriate IEC 60601-1 and/or IEC 60601-1-1 medical safety standard.
W7 Disconnect power to the console before cleaning the unit to avoid electrical macro shock.
W8 Achieve electrical grounding reliability with proper connections. Connect the console to hospital grade receptacles only.
W9 Do not use any parts:
 1. other than Medtronic components as damage or substandard performance could result.
 2. that are damaged components or accessories.
W10 This medical device complies with IEC/EN60601-1-2 safety standard for electromagnetic compatibility, requirements and test. However, if this equipment is operated in the presence of high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI) or highly sensitive equipment, interference may be encountered and the user should take whatever steps are necessary to eliminate or reduce the source of the interference. Diminished performance may lengthen operating time for anesthetized patient.
W11 It is important that the NIM Vital operator be familiar with this manual, its precautions, procedures and safety issues.
W12 To avoid electrical shock, do not attach unapproved components or accessories to the Medtronic NIM Vital™ system.
W13 All service must be performed by Medtronic qualified personnel only, unless otherwise noted.
W14 Do not directly contact active, implanted devices with the stimulator as it may disrupt the implanted device's operation. Consult medical specialist before use.
W15 Electrocardiogram monitoring artifacts may be caused by Medtronic NIM™ stimulus current delivery or EMG electrode impedance monitoring.
W16 Use of unapproved stimulators, stimulus probes, stimulus dissection instruments or electrodes may result in compromised Medtronic NIM™ operation, such as, but not limited to decreased accuracy.
W17 Repair and/or modification to the Medtronic NIM™ system or any accessory by anyone other than qualified service personnel may significantly compromise the unit's ability to monitor nerve activity and/or void the equipment warranty.
W18 To avoid the risk of infection, the user must maintain good sterility practices.
False negative responses, failure to identify nerve, a condition where probe is on nerve but you do not get an EMG tone may result from:
 1. Shorted EMG electrode or cabling (conductive parts of applied needle electrodes or cables contacting each other).
 2. Patient Interface fuse blown and not detected (32 mA, 250 V. Xomed Part No.: _PHONE_).
 3. Patient Interface defective.
 4. Inadequate stimulus current.
 5. Inadequate current for stimulation of nerve through hardware, such as stimulus dissection instruments, may vary based on the physical size, shape characteristics, and design of the hardware and proximity to the nerve.
 6. Simultaneous stimulation of the nerve and the surrounding tissue, resulting in current shunting (inadequate delivery of stimulus current to target nerve tissue).
 7. Flatline on the EMG channel caused by shorted internal amplifier (characterized by baseline activity of < 3 μV peak-to-peak).
 8. EMG electrodes not positioned properly in the target muscles.
W20 Stimulator current may cause involuntary patient movement resulting in patient injury.
W21 If the incrementing probe handle malfunctions, it could result in increased current delivery to the patient. Immediately disconnect the Control Plug from the Patient Interfacebox and use the console to adjust stimulus current.
W22 Be careful not to damage vascular or neural structures when preparing the nerve for the installation of the continuous monitoring electrodes.
W23 Electrode integrity should be checked after electrode insertion and before electrode removal to give additional assurance that electrode continuity was maintained throughout the entire procedure. If the system indicates improper electrode impedance, consult the "Troubleshooting" topic for impedance value troubleshooting.
W24 Remove continuous monitoring electrode from patient prior to using external defibrillator to prevent thermal injury to patient at continuous monitoring electrode site.
W25 Operation in close proximity to high frequency (shortwave or microwave) equipment may produce instability in the electrical stimulator output.
W26 Safe stimulus levels are dependent on various conditions including but not limited to: type of excitable tissue, Charge Per Pulse, and Charge Per Unit Area. Waveform morphology, repetition rate, and stimulator effective surface area must be considered. Special operator (Neurophysiologist) attention is required for stimulus levels which exceed default settings or conditions. Levels higher than 2 mA RMS/cm2 (3 mA) for Slim Prass Probe and Prass Bipolar Probe may result in tissue damage.
W27 Do not perform Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) on a patient with electrodes, probes, and EMG tubes in the field. The effect of MRI is unknown on these devices.
W28 Loud extraneous monitoring noise may be caused by activation of electrosurgical unit. Muting Detector, if necessary, must be properly attached to the active electrosurgical lead.
W29 User is responsible for at minimum annual functional and safety checks.
W30 Avoid trans-thoracic stimulation; when possible, maintain anode and cathode stimulating sites in close proximity.
W31 Do not use if sterile package has been opened or is damaged.
P1 Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in this Guide.
P2 Portable and mobile RF including cell phones and communications equipment can affect Medical Electrical Equipment.
P3 Use of accessories and cables other than those specified and sold by Medtronic may result in increased emissions and decreased immunity of this unit.

Imagine that I have a truncated icosahedron consisted of 60 vertices, each of degree $deg(v) = 3$, and fixed edge length $L$. I'd like to assign some constant curvature or bending angle $\theta$ to each edge s.t. I can deform the icosahedron into its circumscribing sphere.
As a function of the edge length $L$, what value of $\theta$ allows me to properly perform this deformation?
share|improve this question
I don't understand how you're using the "bending angle" to deform the icosahedron. Are you looking for the angle $\theta$ that each edge makes with the circumscribing sphere? – anon Jul 17 '11 at 23:49
_USER_, sorry for the confusion! No I'm looking for the bending angle that places each edge on the surface of the sphere. – R.H. Jul 18 '11 at 3:04
Oh, you mean the angle formed by the arc which results from a radial projection of an edge onto the circumscribing sphere. – anon Jul 19 '11 at 12:15

Fix $L=1$. Then the radius of the circumscribed sphere is $r=\frac{1}{4} \sqrt{58+18 \sqrt{5}} \approx 2.478$. Now look at the isosceles triangle formed by the center of the sphere and one edge. It has sides of length $r$ and base length 1. So the angles at either end of the base are $\cos^{-1} (1/(2r)) \approx 78.3593^\circ$. The angle between the tangent to the sphere at one endpoint and the edge is then about $11.6407^\circ$.

India's dwindling forests could be revived with the help of an artificial topsoil made from waste. Initial studies suggest that the mixture of sewage sludge, fly ash (the residue from burning coal) and weed compost can increase plant growth by between 50 and 200 per cent on poor eroded soils.
Researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Western Ontario, Canada began testing the artificial soil at two plantations in the state of Orissa in eastern India. This week they will start two new trials in Orissa and larger scale use of the soil substitute is planned for next year.
Michael Powell, who heads the project, says the idea is to create a soil with similar properties to normal, organic soil, and add to it soils that have lost essential minerals. 'The results to date have been quite amazing.'
So far, Powell and his colleagues have tested...

Goodwillie's calculus of functors
Location: MSRI: Simons Auditorium
The calculus of homotopy functors provides a systematic way to approximate a given functor (say from based spaces to spectra) by so-called 'polynomial' functors. Each functor F that preserves weak equivalences has a 'Taylor tower' (analogous to the Taylor series of ordinary calculus) which in turn is built from homogeneous pieces that are classified by certain 'derivatives' for F. I will review this material and consider the problem of how the Taylor tower of F can be reconstructed from its derivatives. We will discuss some important examples built from mapping spaces. Then. if time permits, I will us this approach to give a classification of analytic functors from based spaces to spectra and try to describe some connections to the Goodwillie-Weiss manifold calculus

「FVWM」 – 控制虚拟桌面
Desk arg1 [arg2] [minmax]
This command has been renamed. Please see GotoDesk command.
DesktopName desk name
Defines the name of the desktop number desk to name. This name is used in the WindowList command and in the FvwmPager where it override the Label configuration option. Moreover, if consecutive names starting from desktop 0 are defined, then these names can be used by any EWMH compliant application (as a pager).
DesktopSize HorizontalxVertical
Defines the virtual desktop size in units of the physical screen size.
EdgeResistance delayEdgeResistance scrolling moving [xinerama-scrolling]
Tells how hard it should be to change the desktop viewport by moving the mouse over the edge of the screen. The parameter tells how many milliseconds the pointer must spend on the screen edge before fvwm moves the viewport. This is intended for people who use
EdgeScroll 100 100
but find themselves accidentally flipping pages when they do not want to. If -1 is given as the delay, scrolling is disabled completely.
The second form of invocation with two or three arguments is obsolete and should be replaced with the following three commands as needed:
EdgeResistance scrolling
Style * EdgeMoveDelay scrolling
Style * EdgeMoveResistance moving
Style * EdgeMoveResistance moving xinerama-scrolling
Fvwm does this substitution automatically and prints a warning.
EdgeScroll horizontal[p] vertical[p] [wrap | wrapx | wrapy]
Specifies the percentage of a page to scroll when the cursor hits the edge of a page. A trailing 'p' changes the interpretation to mean pixels. If you do not want any paging or scrolling when you hit the edge of a page include
EdgeScroll 0 0
in your config file, or possibly better, set the EdgeThickness to zero. See the EdgeThickness command. If you want whole pages, use
EdgeScroll 100 100
Both horizontal and vertical should be positive numbers.
If the horizontal and vertical percentages are multiplied by 1000 or one of the keywords wrap, wrapx and wrapy is given then scrolling wraps around at the edge of the desktop. If
EdgeScroll 100000 100000
is used fvwm scrolls by whole pages, wrapping around at the edge of the desktop.
EdgeThickness 0 | 1 | 2
This is the width or height of the invisible window that fvwm creates on the edges of the screen that are used for the edge scrolling feature.
In order to enable page scrolling via the mouse, four windows called the "pan frames" are placed at the very edge of the screen. This is how fvwm detects the mouse's presence at the window edge. Because of the way this works, they need to be at the top of the stack and eat mouse events, so if you have any kind of error along the lines of: "mouse clicks at the edge of the screen do the wrong thing" you're having trouble with the pan frames and (assuming you do not use the mouse to flip between pages) should set the EdgeThickness to 0.
A value of 0 completely disables mouse edge scrolling, even while dragging a window. 1 gives the smallest pan frames, which seem to work best except on some servers.
2 is the default.
Pan frames of 1 or 2 pixels can sometimes be confusing, for example, if you drag a window over the edge of the screen, so that it straddles a pan frame, clicks on the window, near the edge of the screen are treated as clicks on the root window.
EwmhBaseStruts left right top bottom
Where left, right, top and bottom are positive or null integers which define bands at the edge of the screen. left defines a band on the left of your screen of width left, right defines a band on the right of your screen of width right, top defines a band on the top of your screen of height top and bottom defines a band on the bottom of your screen of height bottom. The unit is the pixel and the default is 0 0 0 0. These areas define additional reserved space to the reserved space defined by some ewmh compliant applications. This is used to compute the Working Area. See the Extended Window Manager Hints section for a definition of the Working Area.
EwmhNumberOfDesktops num [max]
This command is useful only for an ewmh compliant pager or taskbar (as kpager or kicker taskbar) and not for fvwm modules ( FvwmPager or FvwmIconMan). It causes a compliant application to consider at least num desktops (desktop 0 to desktop num-1). The optional argument max causes a compliant application to never consider more than max desktops. If max is 0 (the default) there is no limitation. The actual number of desktops is determined dynamically. It is at least num, but it can be d if there is a window on desktop d-1 (or if the current desktop is desktop d-1) and d is less or equal to max or max is null. Moreover, a compliant pager can ask to change num itself. This is accepted by fvwm only if this number is less than or equal to max or if max is null. Note that negative desktops are not supported by the ewmh specification. The default is 4 0.
GotoDesk [prev | arg1[arg2][minmax]]
Switches the current viewport to another desktop (workspace, room).
The command takes 1, 2, 3, or 4 arguments. A single argument is interpreted as a relative desk number. Two arguments are understood as a relative and an absolute desk number. Three arguments specify a relative desk and the minimum and maximum of the allowable range. Four arguments specify the relative, absolute, minimum and maximum values. (Desktop numbers can be negative). If a literal prev is given as the single argument, the last visited desk number is used.
If arg1 is non zero then the next desktop number is the current desktop number plus arg1.
If arg1 is zero then the new desktop number is arg2. (If arg2 is not present, then the command has no effect.)
If min and max are given, the new desktop number is no smaller than min and no bigger than max. Values out of this range are truncated (if you gave an absolute desk number) or wrapped around (if you gave a relative desk number).
The syntax is the same as for MoveToDesk, which moves a window to a different desktop.
The number of active desktops is determined dynamically. Only desktops which contain windows or are currently being displayed are active. Desktop numbers must be between _PHONE_ and -_PHONE_ (is that enough?).
GotoDeskAndPage prev | deskxpageypage
Switches the current viewport to another desktop and page, similar to the GotoDesk and GotoPage commands. The new desk is desk and the new page is (xpage,ypage).
GotoPage prev | [options]x[p]y[p]
Moves the desktop viewport to page (x,y). The upper left page is (0,0), the upper right is (M,0), where M is one less than the current number of horizontal pages specified in the DesktopSize command. The lower left page is (0,N), and the lower right page is (M,N), where N is the desktop's vertical size as specified in the DesktopSize command. To switch to a page relative to the current one add a trailing 'p' after any or both numerical arguments.
Possible options are wrapx and wrapy to wrap around the x or y coordinate when the viewport is moved beyond the border of the desktop.
To go to the last visited page use prev as the first argument. The GotoPage function should not be used in a pop-up menu.
# Go to page (2,3)
GotoPage 2 3
# Go to lowest and rightmost page
GotoPage -1 -1
# Go to last page visited
GotoPage prev
# Go two pages to the right and one page up
GotoPage +2p -1p
Scroll [horizonal[p]vertical[p] | reverse]
Scrolls the virtual desktop's viewport by horizontal pages in the x-direction and vertical pages in the y-direction or starts interactive scrolling of the viewport. Either or both entries may be negative. Both horizontal and vertical values are expressed in percent of pages, so
Scroll 100 100
means to scroll down and right by one full page.
Scroll 50 25
means to scroll right half a page and down a quarter of a page. The Scroll function should not be called from pop-up menus. Normally, scrolling stops at the edge of the desktop.
If the horizontal and vertical percentages are 100 or more and are multiplied by 1000 then scrolling wraps around at the edge of the desktop. If
Scroll 100000 0
is executed over and over fvwm moves to the next desktop page on each execution and wraps around at the edge of the desktop, so that every page is hit in turn.
If the letter 'p' is appended to each coordinate (horizontal and/or vertical), then the scroll amount is measured in pixels.
Without arguments or if the option reverse is given interactive scrolling takes place. The viewport scrolls as the mouse is moved. With the reverse option scrolling is done in opposite direction of the mouse movement, and without it scrolling in the same direction as the mouse.
The binding
Mouse 1 A CM Scroll reverse
gives an effect of grabbing and dragging the viewport with button 1 if Control and Meta is pressed.

Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A court order allowing a motion or other legal matter to be set at a time shorter than provided by law or court rules. Shortening time is usually granted when the time for trial or some other court action is approaching and a hearing must be heard promptly by the judge. Example: Local rules require that a party give the other side ten days' notice before a hearing. If the trial is set to begin in nine days, a court might shorten the time to schedule a hearing to five days, provided the notice is served within 24 hours.

Lucia Ortisi's Panforte
Christmas in Italy is still essentially a religious holiday where the birth of baby Jesus is the inspiration for lovingly crafted nativity scenes that can be found in many churches, squares, schools and private households. But it is also an opportunity for families to come together, to cook, to share a meal and pass on traditions from one generation to the next, strengthening the ties between young and old. In this context eating carries much greater significance than simply preparing and serving food.
A major highlight of the Christmas holiday in Italy is Cenone (big dinner), which takes place on Christmas Eve. While the menu tends to vary from region to region, traditionally pasta always makes an appearance, followed by fish and seafood, with plenty of vegetable dishes. Equally important is the Christmas Day lunch where we have meat, vegetables, and why not, pasta again!
Desserts, sweets and pastries also play a big part on these special days, providing some much-needed sweetness, lightness, or crunchiness. Few Italians can resist these mouth-watering treats! Among the sweetest and most delicious of these is Panforte (strong bread). A speciality of Siena, Panforte is a thick and dense cake of medieval origin. Records from the 13th Century mention Panforte being produced in the Sienese countryside in the form of an enriched bread with honey and spices. Traditionally the recipe includes peppercorn, which is not often found in cakes, and is mainly enjoyed during the Christmas period.
 - 150 gr almonds
 - 150 gr hazelnut
 - 100 gr of walnut
 - 60 gr plain flour
 - 150 gr caster sugar
 - 150 gr honey
 - ½ tsp ground nutmeg
 - ½ tsp mixed spices
 - 1 tsp ground cinnamon
 - ½ ground rainbow peppercorn
 - 200 gr Italian mixed peel
 - 100 gr dried apricots
 - 1 sheet of edible paper
 - Icing sugar
Icing sugar, cinnamon, plain flour
 1. Line a 18 cm round cake tin with the edible paper and set it aside.
 2. in a saucepan put the honey and sugar and let them melt over a low heat without ever bringing them to boil. In the meantime, put the almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts on a tray and toast them in the oven at 100 C° for 10/12 minutes (should toast slightly, should not become dark).
 3. Add the toasted mixed nuts to a large bowl with the flour, the finely chopped candied peel, ap and spices. Stir to mix.
 4. Once the sugar and honey become a thick golden syrup, remove the saucepan from the heat.
 6. Scoop the dough into the lined cake tin and smooth the surface with wet hands. Dust the surface with the mix of flour, icing sugar and cinnamon.
 7. Place in the oven at 150/160 C° for 15/20 min.
 8. Remove the Panforte from the oven, let it cool slightly and then remove it from the baking tin.
 9. Once the Panforte is cold, dust generously with icing sugar
