🍱 Features
 - Easy to use
 - You only need to instantiate a class called DrawerView and add your UI components.
 - Flexible API
 - Includes a number of customization points that allows to decorate the DrawerView as you'd like.
 - Callbacks
 - You can use built-in callbacks in order to integrate animations or get the state changes.
 - Behavior
 - You may tell the component to close the drawer when the device is rotated or user interacts with the child components.
 - Autolayout
 - You don't need to do anything related to autolayout - the component properly handles all the changes. The only thing you need to do is to add your UI components and make sure that aulayout constraints are properly setup for them.
📚 Code Samples
The most simple instantiation: you only need to provide the superview:
let _ = DrawerView(superView: view)
You can specify how much space will be between top anchor of the DrawerView and the superview by setting topLayoutGuidePadding property and how tall the DrawerView will be when it is closed by setting closedHeight property:
let _ = DrawerView(topLayoutGuidePadding: 100, closedHeight: 82, superView: view)
You can specify blur effect and its type. It will be animated alongside with the drawer view. There are several styles for blur:
let _ = DrawerView(blurStyle:.light, superView: view)
By default the DrawerView will include a visual indicator called LineArrow. LineArrow is an indicator that decorates the view and helps a user with interaction. You can change the properties of the indicator by setting its height, width and color:
let _ = DrawerView(lineArrow: (height: 8, width: 82, color:.black), superView: view)
// Or you can set 'nil' in order to turn the indicator off
You can change the behavior of the component when a device is rotated. By default the DrawerView will not be closed when a device is rotated. However, you can change this behavior:
drawerView.closeOnRotation = true
You can programmatically change the state of the component:
drawerView.change(state:.open, shouldAnimate: true)
By default, interactions with the child views don't affect the DrawerView anyhow. However, you can change this behavior and allow the DrawerView to be dismissed when one of the child views are interacted:
drawerView.closeOnChildViewTaps = true
There is an animation closure that is used to animate the external components alongside with the DrawerView:
drawerView.animationClosure = { state in
 switch state {
 case.open:
 someOtherView.alpha = 1.0
 case.closed:
 someOtherView.alpha = 0.0
You can optionally specify a completion closure that gets called when animation is completed:
drawerView.completionClosure = { state in
 switch state {
 case.open:
 case.closed:
The third and final callback closure can be used to get DrawerViewstate changes:
drawerView.onStateChangeClosure = { state in
 state ==.closed? showDialog() : doNothing()
Also there are many other properties that be customized:
drawerView.cornerRadius = 60
drawerView.animationDuration = 2.5
drawerView.animationDampingRatio = 0.9
drawerView.shadowRadius = 0.25
drawerView.shadowOpacity = 0.132

[US Coast Survey 1851; this map shows the baseline used in the first US Coast Survey, the line was established on Fire Island; image courtesy of Stony Brook University]
Triangulation refers to a technique used in surveying and political action as well as research within the social sciences. In surveying, the term means the dividing of an area into triangles using known points and distances; angles are then measured from the known baselines to a new point, and its distance is calculated given existing information. This technique was used especially in circumstances that were difficult to survey by traditional means, allowing for the staking out of new territory along coastlines, in the atmosphere (pilot navigational charts), or in outer space (GPS satellite surveys). Within the social sciences, triangulation refers to using more than two methods in a study in order to test results. In political action, like in chess, the term signifies a specific maneuver in which an opponent is left with the move and at a disadvantage.
What I'm interested in today is what this method for the staking out new terrain might reveal when considering the social and material implications of Thomas Jefferson's landscape designs. While little discussed, many of Jefferson's original interests and design projects were concerned with landscape practices and concepts. In 1763 he made a study of navigation on the Rivanna River and subsequently lead a project to make it navigable as far as Milton, VA. In 1773 he was appointed surveyor of Albemarle County and even though he quickly resigned the post, he would use surveying to organize his experimental and productive agricultural landscapes. Around this time he also undertook the first systematic proto-archeological project in the United States, leading the stratigraphic excavation of an Indian mound near the Rivanna River.
Working toward this reorientation, it is useful to focus on the second of Jefferson's three major building projects in western VirginiaPoplar Forest. As the red headed stepchild of the Jeffersonian canon, Poplar Forest has rarely received attention alongside the well-known constructions at Monticello and the University of Virginia. It is something of a transitional project chronologically, aesthetically, and technologically. For that reason it promises insights into both projects. An examination of Poplar Forest with a focus on landscape and indigenous built forms promises insights into the design of Jeffersonian social and educational institutions that have remained inaccessible to Eurocentric epistemology.
[Poplar Forest near Lynchburg, VA, from the eastern mound; the summer kitchen is in the foreground and the main house is in the background]
Poplar Forest is a main central house with a large geometric mound on either side, and impressive lawns to the back and front. Current theories about the existing mounds asymmetrically located on either side of the house draw directly from European architectural theory: the mounds are supposed it to be a direct adaptation of Palladian concepts, intended to imitate a symmetrical façade with wings that terminate in a pavilion. Jefferson used earthen mounds at Poplar Forest- a radically different technology than a Palladian pavilionbut even the technology is attributed to European precedents he had seen; in the ornamental gardens of European aristocrats mounds were sometimes constructed throughout to create vantage points for surveying ornamental surroundings. It is supposed that Jefferson took these known forms and concepts and created his arrangement, bringing in mounds close to the house to serve as cheap stand-ins for Palladian pavilions.
This explanation is decidedly Eurocentric and simplistic. While this is not necessarily bad, it is highly problematic with respect to issues of aesthetics, technology, and context. For instance, why did he plant the mounds with trees, obscuring views, if they were traditionally used to provide vistas over immediate ornamental grounds? What about the fact that Poplar Forest was never intended as a public house for entertaining, but rather as a working farm where Jefferson could make some money to pay off his debts and get away from the never-ending string of guests making up his public life centered at Monticello? Why were the mounds constructed asymmetrically and off-axis if they were intended to imitate Palladian forms? Were these truly only a cheap stand-in for more stately Palladian pavilions? And as to the idea that they provided a convenient disposal site for excavation from the South Lawn, couldn't this material have be disposed in almost any location without the hassle of compaction techniques and geometrical construction needed to create the mounds?
[Artists' rendering imagining the archeological dig of an Indian mound undertaken near Monticello by a young Thomas Jefferson; the vertical elevation is exaggerated and indicates the various stratigraphic layers that Jefferson made note of in the mound's construction]
Jefferson's views of the Indians in Virginia were complicated. In addition to implementing policies that stripped certain nations of their land claims he had communicated his desire that "your blood will mix with ours; and will spread, with ours, over this great island [all of North America]." Writing to Benjamin Hawkins during the period in which he was constructing Poplar Forest, Jefferson said on February 18, 1803:
The ultimate point of rest and happiness for [the Indians] is to let our settlements and theirs meet and blend together, to intermix, and become one people. Incorporating themselves with us as citizens of the United States, this is what the natural progress of things will of course, bring, on, and it will be better to promote it than retard it.
This vision of Jefferson provides impetus for a new thesisAmerican settlements as an exceptional blend of imported European traditions and indigenous practices and concepts, set within a landscape that was larger and more violent than anything that Europeans had experienced. It is known that Jefferson had great interest in the mound structures of the native peoples that were located throughout Virginia and had even undertaken an excavation of one in the 1770's. Writing later he noted that:
"many [mounds] are to be found all over this country. These are of different sizes, some of them constructed of earth, and some of loose stones… There being one of these in my neighborhood, I wished to satisfy myself whether any, and which of these opinions was just. For the purpose I determined to open and examine it thoroughly… It was a spheroidical form, of about 40 feet diameter at the base, and had been of about twelve feet altitude…"
Certain facts arise from his early archeological work that might bring new concepts in to view when considering the landscape and architecture of Poplar Forest. That the sizes, proportions, material construction, and regional context were all similar in both the Indian mounds of the area and the mounds at Poplar Forest suggest that there is much to be learned from a more in depth consideration of the influence of Indian burial mounds, and indigenous architectural practices in general, on the architecture, landscape design, and ultimately public policy of Thomas Jefferson.
Despite being one of the most digested public figures in the history of the United States, and entire history is waiting to be written which considers Jefferson's work from a landscape perspective with a particular focus on the influence of indigenous forms and practices. In doing that work we might gain some insight in to Jefferson's understanding of and interest in indigenous settlements, and how he saw them "blending together" with those of the European settlers and African slaves? While the above questions have been traditionally considered from a general sociological perspective, a study that focuses on the landscape design of Poplar Forest might provide new insight not only into the design and construction of the Lawn and the grounds of Monticello, but also help us to understand the Public Lands Survey System, and other ambitious landscape projects in the Americas.

Organic kudampuli (Indian garcinia)
We are the manufacture of kudampuli (Indian garcinia)Kudampuli is a moderate-sized, evergreen tree and the flowers are unisexual, sessile and axillary. The leaves are dark green, shining, elliptic to obviate. It bears sweet-sour mixed fruits native to SE Asia and India. The fruit may resemble a small yellow or reddish pumpkin, or it may have a unique purple colour. The fruit of Garcinia cambogia has been traditionally used in food preparation and cooking, having a distinctive taste. Garcinia has garnered a lot of attention of late as a popular natural weight loss aid. The reason is that the rind of this pumpkin like fruit is rich in a substance called hydroxycitric acid / HCA. Aside from its use in food preparation and preservation, extracts of G. cambogia are sometimes used in traditional medicine as purgatives. Kudampuli is known for its medicinal values in Ayurveda. It helps to promote digestion, and a decoction (kashayam) made out of it is used against Arthritis and some uterine deceases. It is also known to cure ulcers. The root of Kudampuli can be used quire the swelling the whole body due to viper bite.
Kudampuli is found to have astringent, antioxidant, anticatarrhal, demulcent, thermogenic, cardiotonic and anti-cancer properties. It is effective against rheumatism, piles, bilious affections, edema, intestinal parasites, constipation and delayed menstruation.
Kudampuli extract is found to increase the mucosal defensive mechanisms in stomach and thereby it is helpful as a protective agent against gastric ulcers. A study has shown that a supplement extract of kudampuli is helpful in reducing both the volume and acidity of gastric juice. Further, its use showed promotion of defensive factors on gastric mucosa.
More recently, it has been proved that kudampuli has a hepato-protective ability against external toxins, such as alcohol. A recent study showed that its use prevented liver cells from becoming fibrotic and stopped cell damage caused by high blood lipid levels.
How does Kudampuli help in weight loss?
The science behind Kudampuli promoting loss of weight is simple. See how it works:
 - Suppresses hunger naturally: We all know that overeating leads of unwanted weight gain. Kudampuli helps in suppressing your appetite and thus, you feel less hungry throughout the day. Your metabolism too is improved.
 - Controls blood sugar level: The extracts of Garcinia Cambodia help to control blood sugar levels. When your appetite is suppressed, not only are you less prone to consume increased amounts of carbohydrates, you are also saved from a spike in blood sugar levels and deposit of fats in your body. It also blocks the enzymecitrate lyase, which is responsible for the conversion of carbohydrate into sugar and fat.
 - Promotes strong digestive system: Kudampuli protects you from colic pain and irregular movement of bowels. When consumed regularly, Kudampuli tends to strengthen your digestive system and prevents acidity. Your immunity power is also boosted.

If you want to boil a frog? what you want to do!. Now, You can ask me, Are you mad? Why you want to boil a frog?. Actually not, I am not going to boil any frog in this article but I hope you heard the story called "The Boiling Frog Theory".
The Boiling Frog Theory
"The boiling frog is a fable describing a frog being slowly boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if the frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. "
This theory conveys a little bit of fake information and a lot of real information, In this article, We are going to find out the reality behind the "The Boiling Frog Theory".
How to Boil a Frog?
For example, you want to boil a frog lets boil the water and place the frog inside but the frog will immediately jump out because the water is too hot.- This is the FACT as per the Theory mentioned above.
But, There is a different way to boil a frog, put the frog in warm water then the frog will stay there because it is warm then you slowly increase the temperature of the water. The frog will not notice the small changes in the temperature.
Before the frog completely understands the situation, water will start boiling the frog. finally, the frog will die. This is how you can boil a frog!
This theory reveals the secret of nature and psychology of human. Frogs and Humans notice the big things. When frog knows the boiled water it will jump out like human recognize the disasters like Tsunami, Earthquake, and Strome they stay away from that.
But, Humans fails to notice small changes in people's behavior, price, politics, economy, and climate that finally will kill everyone. you can find this all around us, for example, take a fuel price, it will rise one rupee two rupees every month or week. for now, it's not a big deal for anyone. but over the period of time, this small change will make a big effect in human life without know that the water is boiling. Similarly, your relationship, home rent, and our environment are changing slowly and surely. It is up to us to notice the change and correct us before the water gets fully boiled.
In reality, The frog does aware of the surrounding and it will jump out of the water when it gets too hot. The Boiling Frog Theory was just a popular fable, In reality, frogs can even notice small changes in the surrounding and act according to that change.
If a frog can! Why can't Humans?...
Fix the Small issues before it grows bigger and destroys your life. Think Proactively, Happy Life!!!


Did You Know This is a Survival Tree?
Did You Know This is a Survival Tree?
It's no surprise that trees are useful in survival situations. They offer us shelter from the rain, fuel for our fires, and some trees produce fruits or nuts that we can eat. However, this tree may come as a surprise.
The willow tree is usually found in damp, swampy climates and can provide you with water when tapped for this reason. The willow tree also contains a compound known as salicin, which is the active ingredient in aspirin, offering natural pain relief.
Thanks to the willow tree's flexible yet strong bark and branches, it can be used to make fishing traps for shellfish and fish alike. The branches can also be used to make bows.
The thinner branches on a willow tree that give it its iconic name can be braided into strong cordage. The willow can also provide you with a quick shelter to help you stay dry in the rain.

Cutting edge: A revealing trend in turn-of-the-century Vienna.
Discover a moment when traditional craft met burgeoning modernism. This
At the turn of the 20th century, amid the domed grandeur of Vienna, a group of Secession artists reclaimed the humble woodblock. The gesture, though short-lived, and long overlooked by established art histories, may be seen as a decisive social, as well as aesthetic, moment. Elevating a primarily illustrative, mass-production medium to the status of fine art, the woodblock revival set a formal precedent for Expressionism while democratizing an art for all.
Coinciding with the traveling exhibition through the Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt and Albertina, Vienna, this TASCHEN edition brings together leading examples of the Viennese woodblock renaissance to give a long overdue exploration of its achievements and influence. Through prints, publications, calendars and pages from Ver Sacrum, the official magazine of the Vienna Secession, it gathers works remarkable for their graphic and chromatic intensity, and vital with the traces of japonisme as much as the stylistic seeds of Die Brücke, Der Blaue Reiter and later Expressionist movements.
Through figure studies, landscapes, patterns, and typographical treasures, the featured works are accompanied by detailed captions, as well as essays exploring their aesthetic and ideological implications, and biographies for the more than 40 artists. Examining their stark contours, stylization of the surface per se, and tendency towards contained colour areas we evaluate the Viennese woodblocks as essential harbingers, and benchmarks, of the 20th century modernism to come. At the same time, we assess how the dissemination of the woodblocksubstantiated the Seccessionist claim for a democratized, all-encompassing art, while adding to their reappraisal of originality, and authenticity, and convention.

Implementation intention as a cognitive strategy in STEM education : assessing pre-algebraic performance in 8th grade math instruction.
Access rightsNo access - Contact _EMAIL_
Nguyen, Megan, 1991-
MetadataShow full item record
Conceptualization of STEM has been a challenge due to varying perspectives within schools, school districts, and instructors. Implementation intention refers to a memory encoding strategy in which individuals explicitly specify retrieval cues to help them remember to perform goal directed actions. This study's objective was to examine if the integration of implementation intention encoding would differ from STEM students to students in a traditional classroom. Moreover, comparing math performance between students trained and not trained in an implementation intention strategy. Results from a 2 X 2 ANOVA test and reported means indicate that participants in the treatment groups at both schools performed better than their control counterparts. Additionally, there is a significant main effect for the STEM school participants overall compared to the traditional school participants. Effectiveness of implementation intention encoding suggests that it would be beneficial for educators to incorporate the strategy into instruction to produce self-regulated mathematical learners.

The Church of St. Mary, originally built as the chapel of Charlemagne's imperial palace in Aachen in 786 AD, was part of the emperor's dream of creating a 'new Rome'.
With this building he laid the foundations of one of the most important architectural monuments in Europe. The cathedral's appearance reflects more than 1,000 years of history. Charlemagne's palatine chapel forms the core of the cathedral. The single-nave chancel was consecrated on the 600th anniversary of his death and the bold architecture of the 'glass house', as it is known, is as impressive today as it was then. During the 600 years from 936 to 1531, 30 German kings were crowned in Aachen Cathedral. Today, the cathedral has lost nothing of the splendour of centuries past. The first ensemble of historical and architectural importance in Germany to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list (in 1978), this is a building of outstanding significance.

About arm attacks
Arm attacks are those that use the hand, wrist, forearm, or elbow as the striking surface. The primary arm attack is the punch.
A punch is a simple thing, even babies punch when upset. When a person is angered, a punch is usually the first physical thing that happens, usually directed at something or someone. Usually, the punching hand is injured as much as that which was struck, sometimes more. Punching may be highly effective if done properly. Some Taekwondo organizations, such as the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), want to separate Taekwondo from its karate roots so they stress kicks and practically neglect the punches that are stressed in karate. However, to be a well-rounded fighter, you must be proficient with both your arms and legs.

Why do we need boreal wetland policy?
Boreal wetland policies and legislation are integral to effective wetland management.
Boreal wetlands are vulnerable; they are primarily on Crown land and appropriate policies and legislation are needed to help guide governments, industry, and residents in wetland management. Therefore, we strongly support the development of boreal wetland policy and legislation across all Canadian jurisdictions.
For more on the significance of boreal wetlands, check out Boreal Quick Facts.
What are we doing to help?
To aid in this effort, we inform government policies and legislation that conserve boreal waterfowl habitat. We support and influence the development of land use planning strategies, industrial land use regulations and protected areas on Crown land. We collaborate in government programs that align with DUC's waterfowl conservation objectives. We advance boreal wetland policy by developing strong relationships with governments, industry, Indigenous Peoples and other conservation groups.
What should boreal wetland policy look like?
Ideally, wetland policies apply to all wetlands and all sectors. Different jurisdictions may require different approaches, but in general, we are seeking strong government commitment to a no-net loss of boreal wetland functions approach that would protect sensitive or significant areas while ensuring mitigation for any areas that might be lost or degraded. In doing so, our work helps to achieve important social, cultural, ecological and economic outcomes now and into the future.

As Steve D. noted, a finite dimensional vector space over a countable field is necessarily countable: if $v_1,\ldots,v_n$ is a basis, then every vector in $V$ can be written uniquely as $\alpha_1 v_1+\cdots+\alpha_n v_n$ for some scalars $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_n\in F$, so the cardinality of the set of all vectors is exactly $|F|^n$. If $F$ is countable, then this is countable. Since $\mathbb{R}$ is uncountable and $\mathbb{Q}$ is countable, $\mathbb{R}$ cannot be finite dimensional over $\mathbb{Q}$. (Whether it has a basis or not depends on your set theory).
Your further question in the comments, whether a vector space over $\mathbb{Q}$ is finite dimensional if and only if the set of vectors is countable, has a negative answer. If the vector space is finite dimensional, then it is a countable set; but there are infinite-dimensional vector spaces over $\mathbb{Q}$ that are countable as sets. The simplest example is $\mathbb{Q}[x]$, the vector space of all polynomials with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}$, which is a countable set, and has dimension $\aleph_0$, with basis $\{1,x,x^2,\ldots,x^n,\ldots\}$.
Added: Of course, if $V$ is a vector space over $\mathbb{Q}$, then it has countable dimension (finite or denumerable infinite) if and only if $V$ is countable as a set. So the counting argument in fact shows that not only is $\mathbb{R}$ infinite dimensional over $\mathbb{Q}$, but that (if you are working in an appropriate set theory) it is uncountably-dimensional over $\mathbb{Q}$.

Related to the note about uncountable dimension, there are explicit examples of continuum-sized linearly independent sets, as seen in this MathOverflow answer by François G. Dorais: mathoverflow.net/questions/23202/… – Jonas Meyer Oct 7 '10 at 4:18
Yes: but can one show that there is a basis for $\mathbb{R}$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ without some form of the Axiom of Choice? (There is a difference between exhibiting a large linearly independent subset and exhibiting a basis). – Arturo Magidin Oct 7 '10 at 14:51
No, one cannot, but without the Axiom of Choice the notion of dimension breaks down (except for finite vs. infinite). Assuming AC (as I virtually always do), the size of a linearly independent set gives a lower bound on the dimension of the vector space, and I think it is wonderful that in this case such "explicit" proof exists that the real numbers have continuum dimension, as opposed to the nice qualitative proof one could give by extending your argument to larger cardinals. – Jonas Meyer Oct 7 '10 at 16:02
_USER_: No argument there (with any of your points). – Arturo Magidin Oct 7 '10 at 17:23
good link _USER_, thanks – Leon Lampret Sep 23 '11 at 0:23

The cardinality argument mentioned by Arturo is probably the simplest. Here is an alternative: an explicit example of an infinite $\rm\: \mathbb Q$-independent set of reals. Consider the set consisting of the logs of all primes $\rm\: p_i\:$. Then if $\rm\ \: c_1\ log\ p_1 +\:\cdots\: + c_n\ log \ p_n \: =\ 0\:,\ \: c_i\in\mathbb Q\:,\: $ multiplying by a common denominator we can assume that all $\rm\ c_i \in \mathbb Z\:,\:$ and, exponentiating, we obtain $\rm\: p_1^{\:c_1}\cdots p_n^{\:c_n} = 1\ \Rightarrow\ c_i = 0,\:$ for all $\rm\:i\:$.

Is this proof unique to Q or does it generalize to provide explicit examples of reals linearly independent over, e.g., Q(sqrt(2))? Above, Q appears to be "hard-wired" into the proof, as the group of exponents in the prime factorization. – T.. Oct 12 '10 at 7:14
_USER_ S. "Then, any number field has a finite extension whose class number is 1." This would imply in particular that there are infinitely many number fields of class number one, which I am pretty sure is an open problem. I wonder what you are thinking here? – Pete L. Clark Jan 22 '11 at 10:20
Can you extend the idea of this proof to get the right dimension? Currently, you only have a countably infinite independent set, but the dimension is size continuum. – JDH Jun 23 '11 at 2:22

No transcendental numbers are needed for this question. Any set of algebraic numbers of unbounded degree spans a vector space of infinite dimension. Explicit examples of linearly independent sets of algebraic numbers are also relatively easy to write down.
The set $\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{\sqrt{2}}, \dots, = \cup_{n>0} 2^{2^{-n}} $ is linearly independent over $Q$. (Proof: Any expression of the $n$th iterated square root $a_n$ as a linear combination of earlier terms $a_i, i < n$ of the sequence could also be read as a rational polynomial of degree dividing $2^{n-1}$ with $a_n$ as a root and this contradicts the irreducibility of $X^m - 2$, here with $m=2^n$).
The square roots of the prime numbers are linearly independent over $Q$. (Proof: this is immediate given the ability to extend the function "number of powers of $p$ dividing $x$" from the rational numbers to algebraic numbers. $\sqrt{p}$ is "divisible by $p^{1/2}$" while any finite linear combination of square roots of other primes is divisible by an integer power of $p$, i.e., is contained in an extension of $Q$ unramified at $p$).
Generally any infinite set of algebraic numbers that you can easily write down and is not dependent for trivial reasons usually is independent. This because the only algebraic numbers for which we have a simple notation are fractional powers, and valuation (order of divisibility) arguments work well in this case. Any set of algebraic numbers where, of the ones ramified at any prime $p$, the amount of ramification is different for different elements of the set, will be linearly independent. Proof: take the most ramified element in a given linear combination, express it in terms of the others, and compare valuations.

_USER_..: Yes, of course. But, in my experience, students find the proof using logs of primes to be much simpler than any of the algebraic versions. That's why I presented it that way. – Bill Dubuque Oct 11 '10 at 14:18
_USER_: the question asked about proofs that do not "show the existence of non-algebraic numbers", and so it is of interest to give proofs that stay entirely within the algebraic (real) numbers. The set of sqrt(p) has minimal "depth" and the sqrt(sqrt...(2)) tower has minimal "width" among algebraic examples, making them somewhat canonical. The log(p) argument can be thought of as using an Archimedean valuation, complementing the approach with p-adic (non-Archimed

How to Open a Port on Android
Most routers include a built-in firewall that blocks certain programs and services from running on the network. Although a business should never allow its computer equipment to connect to the Internet without a firewall in place, the security appliance can prevent devices from accessing useful or necessary applications. If you are attempting to use a mission-critical program on your Android device but can't connect because the associated port is blocked on the network, you can configure the router to allow your smartphone or tablet access to the service.
Tap "Settings | Wireless & Networks | Wi-Fi." Touch the "Menu" button and then press "Advanced." Write down the information to the right of the IP Address field.
Connect to the network from a PC, and then click "Start | Control Panel | Network and Internet | Network and Sharing Center."
Click "Change Adapter Settings," and then double-click "Wireless Network Connection."
Click "Details." Browse to the address listed to the right of "IPv4 Default Gateway."
Enter your administrative credentials to log in to the router. Select an option such as "Applications & Gaming," "Port Forwarding" or "Virtual Server" from the menu.
Create a name for the port and then choose the appropriate protocol -- transmission control protocol, user datagram protocol or both -- from the associated drop-down menu.
Enter the address assigned to the Android device into the IP Address field.
Enter the port you want to unblock into the appropriate fields. Put a check next to the new item to enable it.
Select an option such as "Save Settings" or "Apply Changes" to open the port on the tablet or smartphone.


Urdu: tasavvur
Discussion in 'Indo-Iranian Languages' started by Chhaatr, Apr 27, 2013.

 I have tried to look up this word in Platts but there is no entry there. From the web it seems this means "imagination" and this seems to correspond with the usage I've come across on Youtube.
 My questions are:
 1) If I were to say:
 "Zaraa tasavvur kareN aisaa hotaa to kyaa hotaa?"
 Would this be correct usage of this word?
 2) Also, does this word have any other meaning? If so, could someone illustrate it with a sample sentence, please?
 Many thanks!
 2. Alfaaz Senior Member
 Here is the Platts entry.*
 1) Yes!
 2) For an example, you can read (and listen to) this.
 *Note: Generally, Urdu words (especially of Arabic and Persian origin) are transliterated (and pronounced...this would vary) with a w rather than a v. However, some forum members choose to use a v for transliteration of words like waqt or tasawwur, so this might have caused the confusion of not being able to find it in Platts.

 Yes, your are right, this noun means ''imagination''. Your sentence is also perfectly alright. This word has no other meaning but can be translated in different ways.
 Here is the entry from Platts:
 A تصور taṣawwur [inf. n. v of صور 'to form or fashion,' &c.], s.m. Imaging or picturing (a thing) to the mind; imagination, fancy; reflection, contemplation, meditation; forming an idea; idea, conception, perception, apprehension:—taṣawwur karnā, v.t. To picture to oneself; to imagine, fancy; to regard, consider, suppose; to conceive, apprehend, &c.
 Lastly, here is your sentence in the Urdu script:
 ذرا تصوُر کریں ایسا ہوتا تو کیا ہوتا؟

 Think of the word being connected to "tasviir" (image/picture), hence "imagination", fantasy, idea, concept, conception.
 kashish-i-saql kaa tasavvur (The concept of gravity)
 Here is someone from your city talking about stars and the like.
 yih rupahlii chhaaoN yih aakaash par taaroN kaa jaal

 I just checked out the link to which Alfaaz saaHib pointed me. I give below an extract from what I read there (I'll do the listening part after this post).
 "unka hi tasawwur hai, maHfil ho kih tanhaa'ii"
 What does tasawwur mean here, imagination or yaad?

 nuqte ke baghair nuun nuun-e-ghunnah kehlaataa hai, representing nasalization as in the following : کریں ، میں ، کیوں kareN, meN, kyuN, etc.
 Chaatr SaaHib, as stated above, these would more likely be transliterated as tasweer/taswiir, tasawwur, and waHshat in most Urdu publications and also Platts.

 Thank you very much QP saaHib. Yes Majaaz was from Rudali near Barabanki which is about 27 or so kilometres from Lucknow. I was listening to his "yeh meraa chaman hai, meraa chaman, maiN apne chaman ka bulbul huuN" which is the Taraanaa of AMU. Pretty high-falutin stuff for a beginner like me but my thanks to the blogger who had put in English translation to the difficult words

 Alfaaz SaaHib, could you please check whether this verse is written correctly? I'm asking about محفل ہو کے تنہائی maHfil ho ke tanhaa'ii. Perhaps محفل ہو کہ تنہائی maHfil ho kih tanhaa'ii?
 15. Alfaaz Senior Member
 Another interpretation: People could think that the person is perhaps experiencing visual and/or auditory hallucinations, because s/he thinks of and sees his/her lover all the time which makes others see insanity, magar woh apne aap ko shaidaa'ii, saudaa'ii aur dewaanah tasawwur naheeN karte!

Each extra hour per day spent watching TV, using the internet or playing computer games during Year 10 is associated with poorer grades at GCSE at age 16, according to research from the University of Cambridge. In a study published today in the open access International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, researchers also found that pupils doing an extra hour of daily homework and reading performed significantly better than their peers. However, the level of physical activity had no effect on academic performance.
The link between physical activity and health is well established, but its link with academic achievement is not yet well understood. Similarly, although greater levels of sedentary behaviour - for example, watching TV or reading - have been linked to poorer physical health, the connection to academic achievement is also unclear.
To look at the relationship between physical activity, sedentary behaviours and academic achievement, a team of researchers led by the Medical Research Council (MRC) Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge studied 845 pupils from secondary schools in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk, measuring levels of activity and sedentary behaviour at age 14.5 years and then comparing this to their performance in their GCSEs the following year. This data was from the ROOTS study, a large longitudinal study assessing health and wellbeing during adolescence led by Professor Ian Goodyer at the Developmental Psychiatry Section, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge.
The researchers measured objective levels of activity and time spent sitting, through a combination of heart rate and movement sensing. Additionally the researchers used self-reported measures to assess screen time (the time spent watching TV, using the internet and playing computer games) and time spent doing homework, and reading for pleasure.
The team found that screen time was associated with total GCSE points achieved. Each additional hour per day of time spent in front of the TV or online at age 14.5 years was associated with 9.3 fewer GCSE points at age 16 years - the equivalent to two grades in one subject (for example from a B to a D) or one grade in each of two subjects, for example. Two extra hours was associated with 18 fewer points at GCSE.
Screen time and time spent reading or doing homework were independently associated with academic performance, suggesting that even if participants do a lot of reading and homework, watching TV or online activity still damages their academic performance.
The researchers found no significant association between moderate to vigorous physical activity and academic performance, though this contradicts a recent study which found a beneficial effect in some academic subjects. However, both studies conclude that engaging in physical activity does not damage a pupil's academic performance. Given the wider health and social benefits of overall physical activity, the researchers argue that it remains a public health priority both in and out of school.
As well as looking at total screen time, the researchers analysed time spent in different screen activities. Although watching TV, playing computer games or being online were all associated with poorer grades, TV viewing was found to be the most detrimental.
As this was a prospective study (in other words, the researchers followed the pupils over time to determine how different behaviours affected their academic achievement) the researchers believe they can, with some caution, infer that increased screen time led to poorer academic performance.
"Spending more time in front of a screen appears to be linked to a poorer performance at GCSE," says first author Dr Kirsten Corder from the Centre for Diet and Activity Research (CEDAR) in the MRC Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge. "We only measured this behaviour in Year 10, but this is likely to be a reliable snapshot of participants' usual behaviour, so we can reasonably suggest that screen time may be damaging to a teenager' grades. Further research is needed to confirm this effect conclusively, but parents who are concerned about their child's GCSE grade might consider limiting his or her screen time."
Unsurprisingly, the researchers found that teenagers who spent their sedentary time doing homework or reading scored better at GCSE: pupils doing an extra hour of daily homework and reading achieved on average 23.1 more GCSE points than their peers. However, pupils doing over four hours of reading or homework a day performed less well than their peers - the number of pupils in this category was relatively low (only 52 participants) and may include participants who are struggling at school, and therefore do a lot of homework but unfortunately perform badly in exams.
Dr Esther van Sluijs, also from CEDAR, adds: "We believe that programmes aimed at reducing screen time could have important benefits for teenager' exam grades, as well as their health. It is also encouraging that our results show that greater physical activity does not negatively affect exam results. As physical activity has many other benefits, efforts to promote physical activity throughout the day should still be a public health priority."
The research was mainly supported by the MRC and the UK Clinical Research Collaboration.

Screening is a method of finding out if you have hepatitis before you begin to have any symptoms. Screening involves:
- Assessing your medical history and lifestyle habits that may increase your risk of hepatitis
- Undergoing tests to identify early signs of hepatitis, including blood tests for hepatitis antigens and antibodies—Antigens are foreign proteins. Antibodies are proteins that your body has made to fight infectious agents.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends screening for hepatitis in pregnant women at their first prenatal visit and in people at high risk for the disease.

text: Apr 9, 2021 Health and reading By odb-abai inNews On April 9th an introductory excursion "Library without Borders" was held for pupils of the 6th grade of secondary school №20. The children learned about the main dates of the history of the library and the rules of use, got acquainted with the work of the library halls and services, the content of the book collections and the services provided. The children were shown book exhibitions dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the program "Rukhani zhangyru", the work of the writer O. Zhanaidarov "Khalyk anyzdaryn zhinaushy". Many of the excursion participants wished to become library readers and received their library cards. During the excursion, a health session "Health and Reading" was held, timed to coincide with the World Health Day. The librarians reminded the children what rules and procedures must be followed during the quarantine period in order to preserve and strengthen their health. We familiarized the participants with useful literature on this topic. Particular attention was paid to the fact that reading itself can help to strengthen health, stabilize the state of mind and improve well-being.

 indexes=(2, 2), _TAG_ which data build the kdtree

 Let's explain the code. We have two files, containing a list of cities we want to align, the first column is the identifier, and the second is the name of the city and the last one is location of the city (longitude and latitude), gathered into a single tuple.
 In this example, we want to build a kdtree on the couple (longitude, latitude) to divide our data in few candidates. This clustering is coarse, and is only used to reduce the potential candidats without loosing any more refined possible matchs.
 So, in the next step, we define the treatments to apply. It is the same as before, but we ask for a non-normalized matrix (ie: the real output of the levenshtein distance). Thus, we call the alignall function. indexes is a tuple saying the position of the point on which the kdtree must be built, mode is the mode used to find neighbours [3].
 Finally, uniq ask to the function to return the best candidate (ie: the one having the shortest distance below the given threshold)
 The function outputs a generator yielding tuples where the first element is the identifier of the alignset item and the second is the targetset one (It may take some time before yielding the first tuples, because all the computation must be done…)
 [3]The available modes are kdtree, kmeans and minibatch for numerical data and minhashing for text one.
 Try it online!
 We have also made this little application of Nazca, using Cubicweb. This application provides a user interface for Nazca, helping you to choose what you want to align. You can use sparql or rql queries, as in the previous example, or import your own cvs file [4]. Once you have choosen what you want to align, you can click the Next step button to customize the treatments you want to apply, just as you did before in python! Once done, by clicking the Next step, you start the alignment process. Wait a little bit, and you can either download the results in a csv or rdf file, or directly see the results online choosing the html output.

 - Openstack, Wheezy and ZFS on Linux
 2012/12/19 by David Douard
 Openstack, Wheezy and ZFS on Linux
 A while ago, I started the install of an OpenStack cluster at Logilab, so our developers can play easily with any kind of environment. We are planning to improve our Apycot automatic testing platform so it can use "elastic power". And so on.
 I first tried a Ubuntu Precise based setup, since at that time, Debian packages were not really usable. The setup never reached a point where it could be relased as production ready, due to the fact I tried a too complex and bleeding edge configuration (involving Quantum, openvswitch, sheepdog)...
 Meanwhile, we went really short of storage capacity. For now, it mainly consists in hard drives distributed in our 19" Dell racks (generally with hardware RAID controllers). So I recently purchased a low-cost storage bay (SuperMicro SC937 with a 6Gb/s JBOD-only HBA) with 18 spinning hard drives and 4 SSDs. This storage bay being driven by ZFS on Linux (tip: the SSD-stored ZIL is a requirement to get decent performances). This storage setup is still under test for now.
 I also went to the last Mini-DebConf in Paris, where Loic Dachary presented the status of the OpenStack packaging effort in Debian. This gave me the will to give a new try to OpenStack using Wheezy and a bit simpler setup. But I could not consider not to use my new ZFS-based storage as a nova volume provider. It is not available for now in OpenStack (there is a backend for Solaris, but not for ZFS on Linux). However, this is Python and in fact, the current ISCSIDriver backend needs very little to make it work with zfs instead of lvm as "elastics" block-volume provider and manager.
 So, I wrote a custom nova volume driver to handle this. As I don't want the nova-volume daemon to run on my ZFS SAN, I wrote this backend mixing the SanISCSIDriver (which manages the storage system via SSH) and the standard ISCSIDriver (which uses standard Linux isci target tools). I'm not very fond of the API of the VolumeDriver (especially the fact that the ISCSIDriver is responsible for 2 roles: managing block-level volumes and exporting block-level volumes). This small design flaw (IMHO) is the reason I had to duplicate some code (not much but...) to implement my ZFSonLinuxISCSIDriver...
 So here is the setup I made:
 My OpenStack Essex "cluster" consists for now in:
 - one control node, running in a "normal" libvirt-controlled virtual machine; it is a Wheezy that runs:
 - nova-api
 - nova-cert
 - nova-network
 - nova-scheduler
 - nova-volume
 - glance
 - postgresql
 - OpenStack dashboard
 - one computing node (Dell R310, Xeon X3480, 32G, Wheezy), which runs:
 - nova-api
 - nova-network
 - nova-compute
 - ZFS-on-Linux SAN (3x raidz1 poools made of 6 1T drives, 2x (mirrored) 32G SLC SDDs, 2x 120G MLC SSDs for cache); for now, the storage is exported to the SAN via one 1G ethernet link.
 OpensStack Essex setup
 I mainly followed the Debian HOWTO to setup my private cloud. I mainly tuned the network settings to match my environement (and the fact my control node lives in a VM, with VLAN stuff handled by the host).
 I easily got a working setup (I must admit that I think my previous experiment with OpenStack helped a lot when dealing with custom configurations... and vocabulary; I'm not sure I would have succeded "easily" following the HOWTO, but hey, it is a functionnal HOWTO, meaning if you do not follow the instructions because you want special tunings, don't blame the HOWTO).
 Compared to the HOWTO, my nova.conf looks like (as of today):
 root_helper=sudo nova-rootwrap
 ## Network config
 # A nova-network on each compute node
 # VLan manger
 # My ip
 # Dmz & metadata things
 ## More general things
 # The RabbitMQ host
 ## Glance
 I had a bit more work to do to make nova-volume work. First, I got hit by this nasty bug #695791 which is trivial to fix... when you know how to fix it (I noticed the bug report after I fixed it by myself).
 Then, as I wanted the volumes to be stored and exported by my shiny new ZFS-on-Linux setup, I had to write my own volume driver, which was quite easy, since it is Python, and the logic to implement was already provided by the ISCSIDriver class on the one hand, and by the SanISCSIDrvier on the other hand. So I ended with this firt implementation. This file should be copied to nova volumes package directory (nova/volume/

Most travel guides simply call it the "shovel museum," but it's really the Stonehill Industrial History Center. Much more than shovels, curator Greg Galer tells us the collection reveals interesting facts about what we were building and how we built it over the past 200 years.
By the 1870s Ames was the largest shovel manufacturer in the world, making three-fifths of the world's shovels, although even as early as the 1830s and 1840s they struggled to meet the demand for their highly prized products. Ames shovels were the tool of choice in both the California and Australian gold rushes as well as in most major American building projects including the Erie and Panama Canals and most American railroad construction. Ames shovels literally built America.
Above is the Ames Centennial display of 19 silver-plated shovels as prepared for the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. Amusingly, they're displayed in the original display case. Inside the vault with the rest of the collection, Galer proudly points out not only the typical shovels we're familiar with, but shovels designed for working coffee beans, 10-foot-long shovels used to dig telegraph pole holes, and tiny trenching shovels used by US troops in WWI and WWII.
But shovels are just a piece of the collection. Deeper in the vault are the business records, blueprints, patents and other materials that offer primary source documentation of America's early growth into an industrial superpower.

Hello everyone! Sarah Martin here to liveblog Saturday afternoon's Special Panel in the Blackfriars Playhouse. Today, we will hear two presentations: Tiffany Stern from the University of Oxford's Why Der Berstraffe Brudermord Might Be a Puppet Play (you can see Der Berstraffe Brudermord performed as a puppet play courtesy of Beth Burns and the Hidden Room theatre this evening at 9:30pm in the Blackfriars Playhouse) and The Complete Works presented by Paul Menzer from Mary Baldwin College, Jeremy Lopez from the University of Toronto, Andrea Stevens from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Genevieve Love from Colorado College.
Tiffany Stern, Oxford University
"Why Der Berstraffe Brudermord Might be a Puppet Play"
Stern begins her presentation with a brief explanation of Der Berstraffe Brudermord saying that it is an "eighteenth-century play of extraordinary awfulness". She says that Der Berstraffe Brudermord is probably not a puppet play, but that this possibility is certainly there. Stern's interest in the play began with research about puppet plays and the discovery of a puppet Hamlet. She explains that the text of the Der Berstraffe Brudermord is very close to the Quarto 1 Hamlet. This informs us that Q1 Hamlet must have been circulating in Germany at some point before Der Berstraffe Brudermord was written. Stern notes that the first mention of the possible puppet Hamlet was in 1779. She explains that Germany experienced a period of fascination with Shakespeare's works during the eighteenth century. She gives a brief history of English players in Germany. She explains that the same English players also performed in the Czech Rebublic. A Czech account of the English players' performances states that the actors, "alternately performed an actors' and a marionette repertoire". Stern gives an example of an Italian puppet Hamlet called Amleto from the 1660s that informs us that Shakespeare's plays were circulating on the continent before the plays were available in good translations.
As evidence for why Der Berstraffe Brudermord might be a puppet play, Stern notes that the Prologue requires four women, but the play only has two women characters. When the character of NIGHT enters, she does so in "flying machinery"–much easier for a puppet to accomplish rather than a person, obviously. The play also includes a lot of violent moments that occur from behind. All action in puppet shows takes place from behind and this contributes to why Der Berstraffe Brudermord might be a puppet play. Stern notes that Der Berstraffe Brudermord has several moments of fireworks–another hallmark of puppet shows. She points to the "Closet Scene" moment when the Hamlet character sees the ghost of his father and fireworks go off. Including fireworks at this moments seems odd and contributes to the "absurdity" one expects in puppet shows.
Sterns contacted Beth Burns about the possibility of the puppet show performance and Burns jumped on the idea. Stern says that she was nervous about the actual performance, and said "what if I'm wrong, oh but what if I'm not" and that led to tonight's production.
Paul Menzer, Mary Baldwin College; Jeremy Lopez, University of Toronto; Andrea Stevens, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign; and Genevieve Love, Colorado College
The Complete Works
Paul Menzer begins his presentation by having the Mary Baldwin College MFA students pass out sheets of paper that contains lists of words all beginning with the same two letters (I have "ex" words). He then asks the audience to read aloud all of the many words on their pages as he does the same. As the reading comes to a close, Menzer notes that the ASC will produce Timon of Athens this Spring and will at that point, have performed all of Shakespeare's words. He then points out that we have done just that in a matter of a few minutes. The papers contained all of the words found in Shakespeare's works. Menzer points out that our performance, in claiming to have performed The Complete Works of Shakespeare, represents a "scaling fallacy". He notes that the "Complete Works" idea has the problem of scale. He explains that Shakespeare's Complete Works is large in comparison to Marlowe, but not compared to that of Thomas Heywood. Menzer then goes on to note that "Shakespeare's Complete Works is not bigger than Marlowe's, there's just more of it". He points out the problematic idea of "Complete Works" is that it implies a finishing point. He explains that scale is a measure not just of size, but of form as the agent doing the measuring is part of it. We, as those agents, contribute to Shakespeare's Complete Works–and contribute to what that term means exactly.
Jeremy Lopez begins by telling the audience that the word "disappointed" occurs only once in all of Shakespeare's works. Lopez gives several examples of word counts throughout works of great literature. Lopez argues of such "word counting" exercises are only applied to iconic authors and plays. He argues that we only decide to look for the instances of the word "blood" in Macbeth, for example, because we already know the play. Giving examples of several such instances of repeated words in plays that do not really have anything to do with those words, Lopez argues that repetition does not equal emphasis or meaning. He notes that though his paper, "is about disappointment, the word "disappointed" appears only once."
Andrea Stevens begins her presentation with an explanation of the use of the term "invulnerable" in Shakespeare's plays. She explains that it is the "vulnerable" bodies that are the victims of violence. Quoting Judith Butler, Stevens notes that our bodies are never exclusively our own. Our bodies also always have political value. She argues that Shakespeare's tragedies are explorations of how characters discover that they are, in fact, vulnerable and that their bodies are not their own.
Genevieve Love begins with a discussion of the "vulnerable". She talks about how characters with missing limbs and other physical disabilities give important bibliographical and textual history as well. Prosthetic bodies, Love argues, represent the incomplete articulation of the plays themselves. She points to Dr. Faustus–a play with both "A" and "B" texts as an example of how the disability of the body also represents the disability and deformity of corrupt texts. She argues that the dismemberment and multiplication of one, whole body into diverse incomplete parts is a reflection of the corruption and mutilation of early modern texts.


AP X-Ray Story Inaccurate, Misleading
"Report: X-Rays Don't Detect Explosives" is the red letter entry at the Drudge Report, linking the latest Associated Press scoop from a leaked document:
X-ray machines that screen airline passengers' shoes cannot detect explosives, according to a Homeland Security Department report on aviation screening.
The headline is inaccurate. The Rapiscan x-ray machines deployed at most US airports can, in fact, allow screeners to find explosives. Screeners are trained to use x-ray machines to detect the components of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs): timing devices, detonators, switches, and the main charge - the explosive.
I haven't seen the report, which is most likely classified and should earn the leaker a trip to Leavenworth, but from what AP has written, it most likely was pointing out that the small amount of explosive in a shoe bomb would be difficult to detect. True. That's what Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) equipment is for. But what's a good indicator to determine which shoes might deserve to be tested by the ETD? Anomalies in the x-ray image of the shoe.

College Babysitters and Nannies
Today many busy families are choosing to hire professional childcare workers to provide an extra level of care for their children by employing college students as part time nannies or babysitters. Why choose a college student as a part time nanny or baby sitter? There are some very good reasons!
Often many college students are from out of town and have the extra expense of food, transportation and accommodation. To defray these costs many college students really need reliable jobs that allow them time for their school work. This need generally means that the college student hired as a part time nanny or babysitter will be dependable and intelligent. Being a college student looking for extra income means that the wage or salary paid will usually be very reasonable.
College students usually have time availability and flexibility, as classes take place at different times of the day, not just on a 9-5 basis, this offers a family the opportunity for part time caregivers whose times match theirs! Generally, these students also have a long summer holiday off of school which gives them an opportunity to find summer employment as temporary part time or full time nannies or babysitters.
There are also the benefits of youth! These college students are generally young adults who have a lot of energy to devote to the children that they care for. They can join in the play and even arrange for hikes and trail walks. College students can also play a very important dual role of nanny/babysitter and tutor. Very often these college student nannies and babysitters will specifically advertise the subjects that are strong in to attract families whose children need the remedial school work. Even if there is no formal agreement to tutor, there is always a need for checking and helping with homework. If a family chooses, they could select a college student who is either from a different country or one that has specialized language skills…what a great opportunity to introduce children to other cultures and languages!
If a family has a child with either special medical or educational needs many of the college students who are looking for work as par time caregivers have excellent, professional training as many of these students are attending nursing college while many others are taking early youth/childhood education programs.
In the end, college students as nannies or babysitters are a great idea, families get excellent care for their children while the children have great opportunities for fun and education…and the college students gain "real life" experience while earning much needed income…this is definitely a "win win" situation!

I am seeking connections between pointwise Lagrange interpolation (using Chebyshev-Gauss nodes) and generalized series approximation approach using Chebyshev polynomials.
Pointwise Lagrange interpolation
Given a function $f \in C^0([-1,1])$ and a grid of $n+1$ nodes $X = (x_i)_{i = 0}^n$ on $[-1,1]$ we can construct the interpolating polynomial $\Pi^{\ \small{X}}_{\ n} f \in \mathbb{P}_n$ in the following way: $$\Pi^{\ \small{X}}_{\ n} f := \sum_{k = 0}^n f(x_k) L_k(x)$$ with $L_k$ the $k$-th Lagrange polynomial: $L_k(x) := \prod_{j = 0, j \not = k}^n \frac{x - x_j}{x_k - x_j} $
It's easy to check that the operator $\Pi^{\ \small{X}}_{\ n} : C^0([-1,1]) \to \mathbb{P}_n, \ f \mapsto \Pi^{\ \small{X}}_{\ n} f$ is a projection, i.e. $(\Pi^{\ \small{X}}_{\ n})^2 = \Pi^{\ \small{X}}_{\ n}$ and $\Pi^{\ \small{X}}_{\ n}|_{\mathbb{P}_n} = \mathrm{id}_{\mathbb{P}_n}$.
In order to achieve good convergence and to avoid Runge phenomenon, we can choose Chebyshev-Gauss (CG) grid (i.e. zeros of Chebyshev polynomials) getting the interpolating polynomial: $\Pi^{\ \small{CG}}_{\ n} f$. We can make also another choice and take Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto grid (CGL or simply GL) obtaining $\Pi^{\ \small{GL}}_{\ n} f$
Chebyshev Expansion
In a more abstract framework, we can start by considering the space $L^2_{\small w}([-1,1])$ with the following inner product $(f,g)_w := \int_{-1}^1 f(x)g(x)w(x)dx$. Then, choosing $w(x) = 1/\sqrt{1 - x^2}$, we obtain the Chebyshev orthonogonal basis $\{T_k\}_{k\ge0}$ where $T_k$ is the $k$-th Chebyshev polynomial.
We can write:$$f(x) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty \hat{f}_k T_k(x) \quad \forall x \in [-1,1]$$ with $\hat{f}_k = (f,T_k)_w/(T_k,T_k)_w$
Moreover we can truncate the series at $n$ and obtain a projection of $f$ onto $\mathbb{P}_n$: $$S_{\ n} f := \sum_{k=0}^n \hat{f}_k T_k$$
My question is this: is possible to find coefficients $\hat{f}_k$ such that: $$ \Pi^{\ \small{CG}}_{\ n} f = S_{\ n} f = \sum_{k=0}^n \hat{f}_k T_k$$ or $$ \Pi^{\ \small{GL}}_{\ n} f = S_{\ n} f = \sum_{k=0}^n \hat{f}_k T_k$$
Furthermore I know that we can approximate coefficients $\hat{f}_k$ using a discrete scalar product i.e. approximating the integral with interpolating polynomial but It seems a closed loop...
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance
This question has been asked and answered on MathOverflow. I have replicated the accepted answer by David Ketcheson below.
There is an excellent explanation of this in Chapter 4 of L. N. Trefethen's Approximation Theory and Approximation Practice (henceforth ATAP; the first 6 chapters are available for free online). I will try to summarize it in your notation, but I recommend reading his explanation.
Chebyshev interpolation
Interpolation at the Chebyshev points gives your $\Pi^{CG}_n f$, which can also be written in terms of the first $n$ Chebyshev polynomials:
$$\Pi^{CG}_n f = \sum_{k=0}^n c_k T_k(x).$$
The question then becomes:
How are the coefficients $c_k$ of the degree-$n$ Chebyshev interpolant related to the coefficients $\hat{f}_k$ of the infinite Chebyshev series?
It turns out that on the Chebyshev grid with $n+1$ points, the following Chebyshev polynomials all take exactly the same values:
$$T_{2jn\pm m}(x), \ \ \ \ j = 0, 1, 2 \dots$$
The above statement is valid as long as $0\le m \le n$ and where the subscript is positive (of course). See Thm. 4.1 of ATAP. Thus each $T_k$ for $k > n$ is "aliased" to appear like some corresponding $T_k$ with $k\le n$.
Relation between the Chebyshev interpolant and the Chebyshev series
Once you know about aliasing, the connection between the coefficients $c_k$ and $\hat{f}_k$ is immediate. Since the Chebyshev interpolant and the infinite Chebyshev series must be equal at the Chebyshev points, we have
$$ \sum_{k=0}^n c_k T_k(x_j) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty \hat{f}_k T_k(x_j), $$ where $x_j$ is any of the Chebyshev points. But from the aliasing result, we know that each term with $k>n$ in the right-hand-side sum can be rewritten in terms of $T_k(x_j)$ for some $k\le n$. The result is Thm. 4.2 of ATAP, which gives the formulae (for the degree-$n$ interpolant coefficients)
\begin{align} c_0 - f_0 & = \sum_{j=1}^\infty f_{2jn} \\ c_n - f_n & = \sum_{j=1}^\infty f_{(2j+1)n} \\ c_k - f_k & = \sum_{j=1}^\infty (f_{2jn+k} + f_{2jn-k}) & 1\le k \le n-1. \end{align}
So the difference between the coefficients of the Chebyshev interpolant and the Chebyshev projection is given by certain sums of coefficients of the remainder of the Chebyshev series.
One of the major themes of ATAP is that the Chebyshev interpolant is almost as good as the Chebyshev projection for approximation purposes; see Theorems 7.2, 8.2, and 16.1 therein. The great virtue of the interpolant is that it is much easier to compute.
I don't have enough reputation to comment, so I put this here.
L. N. Trefethen's Approximation Theory and Approximation Practice in the accepted answer, what the book calls Chebyshev points are Chebyshev extreme points, as opposed to zeros. See Chapter 2, ATAP.
Thus, the resulting interpolant gives you $\Pi^{GL}_n f$, not $\Pi^{CG}_n f$.

Birregurra, Victoria
Gulidjan and Wadawurrung country
The grassy plains of Gulidjan and Wadawurrung country attracted pastoralists in the 1830s. The traditional landowners initially resisted but then were forced to adapt to their presence.
Gulidjan and Wadawurrung peoples still maintain a deep connection to country and continue to practise their culture today.
Setting the scene

Edna Arnold's family has always lived in Gulidjan country in south-west Victoria. In 2015 she visited Elliminook homestead, where her ancestors had worked for the Bromfield family in the 1860s.
Aunty Edna Arnold, Gulidjan and Gadubanud elder, 2015:
Oh, my ancestors would have swept that flagstone.
When settlers arrived in the 1830s, Gulidjan people fought hard for their country. But by the 1860s they and neighbouring Wadawurrung and Gadubanud peoples had learnt new ways of surviving in the colonial world. Women often worked in settler households and men did stock work.

Possum-skin cloaks
British settler Eliza Bromfield, who displayed an active interest in Gulidjan culture, collected this decorated spear-thrower in the 1860s, probably at Elliminook homestead.
The spear-thrower is decorated with the image of a person wearing a possum-skin cloak (top).
Such cloaks were used by Aboriginal people throughout south-eastern Australia. Designs on the insides of cloaks relate to clan affiliations of the wearer.
Senior Wadawarrung man Sean Fagan identified this spear-thrower from Birregurra as most likely having been made by Gulidjan people.

What is Proprioception?
Proprioception is like a navigation system you have in your car (GPS – Global Positioning System). Your brain is the navigation system, and the roads on the navigation system is the nervous system of your body. The roads connects cities to each other, just as your nerves from your brain connects to all the organs and muscles of your body.
Imagine there's a traffic jam, or a road that is closed due to some unforeseen circumstances. What will happen? Delay? Swap to perhaps a longer car journey than expected? Or in some cases, you can't get to your destination due to the only road there was closed. If this happens to the nervous system due to mechanical changes and adaptation from earlier damage, e.i. falls or car accidents etc. It is researched upon that certain neurological changes will takes place on how you will use the muscles in your body. This can in some cases lead to faulty patterns on how you use your muscles day to day, and eventually lead to muscles that should not preform a given task to fall under stress and get injured, which will results in symptoms of pain, like for example low back pain. This will be called a typical repetitive strain injury.
Research done by Heidi Haavik can now confirm that chiropractic adjustments can help to reset the blocked roads of the nervous system in order to "reset" how the muscles should work.

Pori (Puffed Rice) has been mentioned in various Tamil literatures as an offering to Hindu deities.
- Offerings of pori and jaggery made to Vinayagar (Lord Ganesh) are mentioned in the Tiruppugazh, a 15th century anthology of Tamil religious songs, written by Tamil poet Arunagirinathar.
Puffed rice is used in breakfast cereals, snack foods like puffed rice cakes, and is also a popular street food in some parts of the world. It is an ingredient of bhel puri, a popular Indian chaat (snack). It is also used in temples and gurdwaras as prasad (an offering).
Pori is offered to Hindu gods and goddesses in all poojas in the South Indian states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Pilgrims of Sabarimala often pack puffed rice in their Irumudikettu along with jaggery meant to be offered to Lord Ayyappan. Tamil saints say that Lord Ganesh loves pori, so it should be offered to him without fail. Pori production has been the main family business for centuries among many villages around Namakkal, Avinashi in Tamil Nadu.
In Telangana, as a snack typically given to children, puffed rice or bongulu is made into ball with jaggery syrup or bellam pakam.
Mudhi is a staple food of people of Odisha. northern Odisha, especially Baripada, Mayurbhanj district is significant for the production of Mudhi, where throughout the state it is eaten in breakfast. NGOs have taken forward initiatives to engage village women of northern Odisha for producing Mudhi. Intellectual property rights (IPR) Cell of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT) has decided to bring out Geographical indication (GI) registration of Mudhi.
A traditional puffed rice called muri (sometimes spelled mouri) is made by heating rice in a sand-filled oven. Muri is to rice as popcorn is to corn. The processing involved makes rice less perishable. Muri is a staple food in many parts of Rayalaseema, North Karnataka, Odisha, West Bengal and Bangladesh. Jhalmuri or Masalamuri or Bhelpuri is a very popular preparation made from muri.
Puffed rice is referred to as mur-mure in some parts of India. In many parts of Rayalaseema, North Karnataka uggani along with Mirapakai Bajji (Chilli Bajjis) are popular.In Mithila area, "murhi" is had with "kachari"-fried potato/onion chops, fried fish or with mutton curry."Jhal-murhi" and "Murhi-Bhuja" are also very popular snacks in this area.

Motivation for J1939
SAE J1939 Protocol
The SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) J1939 protocol is a higher-layer protocol based on CAN (Controller Area Network). It is used in commercial vehicles and construction machinery for communication of electronic control units. The protocol was developed in the mid-1980s to ensure standardized communication between electronic control units of different manufacturers. It focuses on the diesel engine and its communication with, for example, the gearbox, brake, or retarder (engine brake).
SAE J1939 und CAN (Controller Area Network)
The SAE J1939 protocol uses CAN (Controller Area Network, ISO 11998-1 and ISO 11998-2) as the physical layer. The CAN protocol plays a major role in motor vehicle networking and represents a commonly used method for bit serial communication between electronic control units (ECUs). Typical ECUs include: Engine, transmission, and brake ECUs as well as the instrument panel and door ECUs.
