Manual Pages — INSTALL
install – install binaries
The file(s) are copied (or linked if the -l option is specified) to the target file or directory. If the destination is a directory, then the file is copied into directory with its original filename. If the target file already exists, it is either renamed to file.old if the -b option is given or overwritten if permissions allow. An alternate backup suffix may be specified via the -B option's argument.
The options are as follows:
 Back up any existing files before overwriting them by renaming them to file.old. See -B for specifying a different backup suffix.
-B suffix
 Use suffix as the backup suffix if -b is given.
 Copy the file. If the target file already exists and the files are the same, then do not change the modification time of the target. If the target's file flags and mode need not to be changed, the target's inode change time is also unchanged.
 Copy the file. This is actually the default. The -c option is only included for backwards compatibility.
-D destdir
 Specify the DESTDIR (top of the file hierarchy) that the items are installed in to. If -M metalog is in use, a leading string of "destdir" will be removed from the file names logged to the metalog. This option does not affect where the actual files are installed.
 Create directories. Missing parent directories are created as required.
 Specify the target's file flags; see chflags(1) for a list of possible flags and their meanings.
 Specify a group. A numeric GID is allowed.
-h hash
 When copying, calculate the digest of the files with hash to store in the -M metalog. When -d is given no hash is emitted. Supported digests:
none No hash. This is the default.
md5 The MD5 cryptographic message digest.
 The RMD-160 cryptographic message digest.
sha1 The SHA-1 cryptographic message digest.
 The 256-bits SHA-2 cryptographic message digest of the file.
 The 512-bits SHA-2 cryptographic message digest of the file.
-l linkflags
 Instead of copying the file make a link to the source. The type of the link is determined by the linkflags argument. Valid linkflags are: a (absolute), r (relative), h (hard), s (symbolic), m (mixed). Absolute and relative have effect only for symbolic links. Mixed links are hard links for files on the same filesystem, symbolic otherwise.
-M metalog
 Write the metadata associated with each item installed to metalog in an mtree(8) "full path" specification line. The metadata includes: the file name and file type, and depending upon other options, the owner, group, file flags, modification time, and tags.
 Specify an alternate mode. The default mode is set to rwxr-xr-x (0755). The specified mode may be either an octal or symbolic value; see chmod(1) for a description of possible mode values.
 Use the user database text file master.passwd and group database text file group from dbdir, rather than using the results from the system's getpwnam(3) and getgrnam(3) (and related) library calls.
 Specify an owner. A numeric UID is allowed.
 Preserve the access and modification times. Copy the file, as if the -C (compare and copy) option is specified, except if the target file does not already exist or is different, then preserve the access and modification times of the source file.
 Safe copy. Normally, install unlinks an existing target before installing the new file. With the -S flag a temporary file is used and then renamed to be the target. The reason this is safer is that if the copy or rename fails, the existing target is left untouched.
 install exec's the command strip(1) to strip binaries so that install can be portable over a large number of systems and binary types. See below for how install can be instructed to use another program to strip binaries.
-T tags
 Specify the mtree(8) tags to write out for the file when using -M metalog.
 Indicate that install is running unprivileged, and that it should not try to change the owner, the group, or the file flags of the destination. The information that would have been updated can be stored in a log file with -M metalog.
 Cause install to be verbose, showing files as they are installed or backed up.
By default, install preserves all file flags, with the exception of the "nodump" flag.
The install utility attempts to prevent moving a file onto itself.
Installing /dev/null creates an empty file.
The install utility checks for the presence of the STRIPBIN environment variable and if present, uses the assigned value as the program to run if and when the -s option has been specified.
If the DONTSTRIP environment variable is present, install will ignore any specification of the -s option. This is mainly for use in debugging the FreeBSD Ports Collection.
 If either -S option is specified, or the -C or -p option is used in conjunction with the -s option, temporary files named INS@XXXX, where XXXX is decided by mkstemp(3), are created in the target directory.
The utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
Historically install moved files by default. The default was changed to copy in FreeBSD 4.4.
chflags(1), chgrp(1), chmod(1), cp(1), mv(1), strip(1), mmap(2), getgrnam(3), getpwnam(3), chown(8)
The install utility appeared in BSD 4.2.
The meaning of the -M option has changed as of FreeBSD 9.2 and it now takes an argument. Command lines that used the old -M will get an error or in rare cases will append logs to the first of multiple source files rather than installing it.
Temporary files may be left in the target directory if install exits abnormally.
File flags cannot be set by fchflags(2) over a NFS file system. Other file systems do not have a concept of flags. The install utility will only warn when flags could not be set on a file system that does not support them.
The install utility with -v falsely says a file is copied when -C snaps hard links.

Criminal Defense Attorney in Clearwater, St. Petersburg, & Tampa for Juvenile Cases
No matter what your age, being charged in with a crime is a frightening ordeal. Juvenile offenders are especially vulnerable in the criminal justice system, as their youth and inexperience may lead them to make unwise decisions. Young offenders are also easily manipulated and confused during interviews and investigations.
Many times, it is up to parents or guardians to ensure that juvenile defendants receive proper representation by a criminal defense attorney. Charles Holloway, P.A., a criminal defense attorney in Clearwater, Florida, is fully aware of the special circumstances surrounding juvenile cases. Attorney Holloway is committed to providing juvenile defendants with aggressive representation that will ensure their rights are protected. For more information about discussing a juvenile case with attorney Holloway at his office in Clearwater, Florida, please call _PHONE_.
Florida law defines a juvenile as anyone less than 18 years of age. When a juvenile is arrested, a number of decisions must be made quickly within the Juvenile Court, the State Attorney's Office, and the Department of Juvenile Justice. The following offers a brief insight into some of these proceedings which should prove helpful:
I. Evaluation
The juvenile is evaluated immediately by detention screening, using a Detention Risk Assessment Instrument (DRAI) form to determine whether they should be detained in secure detention, placed on home detention, or released to the parents until an Arraignment Hearing. Secure Detention refers to holding the juvenile in a secure facility and Home Detention refers to a form of house arrest.
The DRAI form uses a point system to score a juvenile for detention or release. Points are assessed on the following criteria:
 1. Most serious current offense
 2. Other pending charges
 3. Prior criminal record
 4. Legal status (e.g. currently on probation)
 5. Aggravating or mitigating circumstances
 6. Mandatory aggravating circumstance: illegal possession of a firearm
Aggravating Factors:
 1. Juvenile's attitude indicates danger to alleged victim or witnesses
 2. Offense committed in a premeditated manner
 3. Alleged victim suffered substantial injury
 4. History of absconding
 5. Coerced others into involvement
 6. Extreme amount of prior offenses
 7. Threatens not to appear in Court
 8. Engaged in organized gang activity
 9. Weapon used in instant offense
 10. Numerous other offenses charged with main offense
Mitigating Factors:
 1. Intellectual impairment affecting decision-making
 2. Coerced into involvement
 3. Offense committed in impulsive manner
 4. Alleged victim suffered little or no injury
 5. Alleged victim suffered little or no property loss
 6. Charge seems more serious than facts indicate
 7. Unrelated adult accompanied and influenced juvenile's involvement
 8. Passive participant and not directly involved
II. Detention or Release
If the juvenile is released to his or her parents, the juvenile is free and will not return to court until the Arraignment Hearing. If they are placed in secure detention or home detention, they will have to appear before the Court within 24 hours of placement.
The Judge will determine whether probable cause exists and will review the DRAI to ensure it is correct. In Domestic Violence cases, the matter is reviewed every 48 hours. In Contempt of Court cases, the case is reviewed every 72 hours. The Court is required to consider alternatives to secure detention.
III. Intake
Next, the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) will appoint a Juvenile Probation Officer (JPO) to make a disposition (charge and sentence) recommendation to the State Attorney and the Court, as well as make referrals for counseling and educational services.
In order to make the recommendations and referrals, the JPO will set an appointment to meet with the juvenile and his or her parents. This meeting with the JPO is voluntary. The JPO does not interrogate the juvenile about the charges. The JPO will consider the following criteria in making the recommendation:
Whether the juvenile admitted the offense to law enforcement
 1. The seriousness of the offense
 2. The previous number of offenses
 3. The age and maturity of the juvenile
 4. Whether involved in a street gang
 5. Attitude of the juvenile
 6. Attitude of the parents
 7. Ability of the parents to control the juvenile
 8. Social information (e.g. substance abuse, mental health, school performance and attendance)
 9. Attitude of alleged victim
 10. Restitution amount, if any
The recommendation must be completed within 24 hours after the juvenile is ordered to be kept in detention, and at the latest, must be completed within 20 days after the juvenile is first arrested.
The JPO may recommend the following:
 1. A non-judicial disposition (Juvenile Diversion Programs)
 2. A Judicial disposition
 3. Referral to adult Court
1) Diversion: These options are available prior to the filing of the official charges by the State Attorney's Office:
a) Juvenile Arbitration: Usually reserved for first time misdemeanor offenses. Can include community service work, substance abuse evaluation and counseling, and restitution. Lasts approximately 6 to 8 weeks.
b) Juvenile Arbitration S.T.O.P.: Usually reserved for repeat misdemeanor or 3rd degree felonies. Includes more intensive sanctions and contact with the juvenile. Lasts approximately 4 months.
c) Drug Court: For drug-related offenses.
d) Teen Court: Sanctions determined by a panel of juvenile peers.
e) Early Delinquency Intervention Program (EDIP): Intensive residential treatment in a secure facility for 7 days to 6 weeks. Six to 9 months of follow-up.
f) Intensive Delinquency Diversion Services (IDDS): Higher level of intervention with juvenile.
2) Judicial Disposition: These are options available after official charges (a Petition) are filed by the State Attorney's Office:
a) Plan: This generally requires that the juvenile enter a plea, admitting the charges. If the Court accepts the Plan, it will hold the plea in "escrow" until the juvenile successfully completes the terms of the Plan, at which time the case is dismissed.
b) Adjudicatory Hearing: A trial without a jury. The Court can find that the evidence did not sustain the allegations (i.e. not guilty) or that the allegations were sustained, (i.e. guilty). If guilty, the Court will then decide whether to impose probation supervised by the DJJ or whether to impose residential commitment. If residential commitment is anticipated, then the Court will conduct a Disposition Hearing, and consider aggravating and mitigating factors in the sentencing decision.
c) If the Court orders commitment, the term will end when the juvenile turns 19, unless the juvenile is placed in a serious habitual offender program, an intensive residential program for young offenders, a sexual offender program, or a maximum risk program, in which case the term will end when the juvenile turns 21.
3) Adult Court: Certain crimes are considered so serious, that the State Attorney's Office is permitted to file charges that will treat the juvenile as an adult. Some charges are required to be filed as adult, regardless of the child's age. Some charges are discretionary, permitting the State Attorney to decide whether to file in adult court or not. The Court has the ultimate authority to decide whether the juvenile should be sentenced as an adult or subjected to juvenile punishment.
The juvenile system is complex enough, and the various outcomes serious enough, that is important that the juvenile and parents obtain legal advice as soon as possible after allegations are made or the juvenile is arrested. A criminal defense attorney can assist in discussing the various options available and help the juvenile as they navigate the legal system, in search of a resolution that best meets the client's needs.
For more information about hiring a lawyer to represent juvenile defendants in the Tampa Bay area, e-mail or call Clearwater criminal defense attorney Charles Holloway today. As a former prosecutor with decades of experience, attorney Holloway will be glad to meet with juvenile defendants and their parents regarding current or possible criminal charges. Attorney Holloway has a convenient office in Clearwater to conveniently assist juvenile defendants in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, and the greater Tampa Bay area.

Too Friendly vs. Too Aggressive – Preferably Neither
Tax Telegraph, September 2013
Too Friendly vs. Too Aggressive – Preferably NeitherThe idea of "market value" comes up in tax legislation multiple times, yet is defined very broadly. Market value impacts the treatment of trading stock, the acquisition cost or proceeds from a sale, the value of intangible assets, restructuring, access to the small business capital gains tax (CGT) concessions and many other areas.
So what goes into determining market value?
Back in 1944, Mr Abrahams took the Federal Commissioner of Tax to the High Court over duties relating to his brother's estate. What came out of that case, in relation to market value, which is still important now is the idea that market value is "the price which a willing but not anxious vendor could reasonably expect to obtain and a hypothetical willing but not anxious purchaser could reasonably expect to have to pay … if the vendor and purchaser had got together and agreed on a price in friendly negotiation".
This raises more questions such as, "what exactly is reasonable?" and "what is friendly negotiation?"
Be Reasonable
A key aspect in using a market value is ensuring the valuation has been calculated on a reasonable basis. For example, it is unlikely that a taxpayer will get away with trying to value an original Picasso painting at $50 and then trying to argue with Tax Office that this was the market value of the painting based on the cost of canvas and oil paints.
With assets such as property, the taxpayer is expected to take into account the "highest and best use" in determining the market value. The taxpayer should take into account "the most probable use of a property which is physically possible, appropriately justified, legally permissible, financially feasible, and which results in the highest value of the property being valued." For example, a taxpayer owns a one bedroom beach shack in a prime position in Bondi with approval to build multiple apartments. If the taxpayer claims that the market value of the property is the market price of any one bedroom house in the area, their valuation may be challenged by the ATO as the highest and best use would clearly result in a higher value.
This can be an easier process with some things and a much more difficult process with others. For example, publically traded shares and in some cases property have active markets which can quickly give you a market value. Other things such as private company shares, goodwill, intellectual property and other intangibles or art can be much harder to value as often, no active market exists.
However, this does not mean that a taxpayer must spend a small fortune in acquiring multiple valuations from numerous experts in the field. Though it is naturally preferable for the valuation to be completed by a qualified professional with appropriate expertise in the specific area, it is in many cases, not a formal requirement. However, this being said, the valuation should be replicable. That is, the methods used to arrive at the valuation are explained so that another person can easily understand how the value was determined. If the process is not adequately explained, the valuation may not be accepted by the ATO.
So, now you might be thinking, "fine then, I'll just call a professional." Sure, this could give you a stronger case, however, simply obtaining a professional valuation, does not mean the ATO is obligated to accept this as the market value, especially if they do not see it as reasonable. There have been cases, where a taxpayer has obtained a formal valuation and this has been challenged by the ATO and subsequently the ATO's challenge has been upheld by the Federal Court.
Luckily for all taxpayers, the ATO has a lengthy document outlining its view of various methods and principles regarding the methods of determining market value in a variety of situations. What is clearly evident is that many of these scenarios have multiple permissible methods which can result in a reasonable result. A business, for example, can be valued based on the market value of the business, the value of the business's assets or even based on business income through discounted cash flows or capitalisation of earnings.
How friendly is too friendly?
Another fundamental aspect governing market value is the concept of dealing at arm's length. This means that a buyer and seller negotiate and deal with each other in a manner that would be expected of unrelated parties. If parties do not deal at arm's length the ATO may adjust the dealings to reflect and arm's length outcome.
Though more often than not, dealing at arm's length is an issue when a buyer and seller are related parties. However this does not mean that unrelated parties are automatically assumed to be dealing at arm's length. Agreements which have an element of "I'll scratch your back, if you scratch mine," can equally find themselves face ATO scrutiny. This is because arm's length is determined by the actual dealings between parties not just the overall relationship as demonstrated in Granby Pty Ltd v Federal Commissioner of Taxation 95 ATC 4240.
This does not necessarily mean that transactions that take place above or below market value are automatically not at arm's length. What is more important is the nature of the dealings. Any dealings that are deemed to not be at arm's length by the ATO can be challenged and the outcomes adjusted.
Why should I care?
Getting a valuation of your assets to work in your advantage (without being overly aggressive of course) can often help you save a small fortune in tax liabilities.
In areas such as CGT, the market value could directly impact your tax liability in the current year or in the future. If you give away an asset or are given an asset by a related party, your capital proceeds or cost base respectively will often be substituted with the market value of the asset. Therefore, the effective use of market value could result in a substantial benefit or cost.
Another example of the impact of market valuations arises during the sale of a business. Often the sale agreement will identify a lump sum price for the purchase of a number of assets – some being intangible (e.g. goodwill) and some tangible. Often you may find purchaser and vendor allocate different amounts to different assets. Allocating the purchase price to an asset such as copyright, patents or depreciable assets gives ongoing tax benefit to the purchaser. By way of contrast, allocating price to goodwill may give rise to a tax benefit to the vendor (e.g. the CGT discount and/or small business CGT concessions).
Eligibility to access the small business CGT concession in many people's cases hinges on satisfying the maximum net asset value ($6 million) test. Sometimes a simple change in the value of the assets can result in tax savings (or liabilities) of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Alternatively, if a taxpayer gets it wrong or does not take the appropriate steps to justify their position, this could not only result in the ATO challenging the valuation but subsequently reassessing the tax liability. This could carry the risk of penalties for having an unsupportable position in addition to being charged interest.
It clearly is of benefit to try and get everything right the first time and have peace of mind knowing that your tax affairs are sound. Especially with market value and its broad applications, it may be helpful to get some advice or a second opinion and your local Deloitte Private tax advisor is here to help.

Minimising spray drift risks
The Code of Practice for Summer Weed Control is designed to provide a standard for the safe and effective application of herbicides for summer weed control and to minimise the risk of off-target damage to grapevines and other susceptible plants from droplet and vapour drift of herbicides.
Grain residues and contaminants
Growers play a critical role in protecting the reputation of the Australian grain industry by managing the risk of chemical residues. Growers help protect market access through responsible use of chemicals, including adhering to withholding periods, label instructions, application rates and safe operating procedures. All domestic and export markets for Australian grain have a low or no tolerance level for chemical residues and contaminants.
National Residue Survey
The National Residue Survey (NRS) is part of an Australian Government and industry strategy to minimise chemical residues and environmental contaminants in Australian food products. In doing so, NRS programs support primary producers and commodity marketers by confirming Australia's status as a producer of 'clean' food and facilitating access to key domestic and export markets.

Say: ah-nuh-mul dan-dur
All warm-blooded animals shed tiny flakes from their skin, fur, or feathers. This is called dander. (It's like dandruff in humans but much harder to see.) When someone is allergic to animals, it could be dander that's causing the problem. Pet dander can be trouble for people who have asthma because, if they're allergic to it, it can worsen breathing problems.


text: The possible chemical interactions which occur between sodium (as sulphite), iron and cerium (as oxides) coming from pollutants or additives, and the materials which make up three commercial filters, in the working temperature of a Diesel soot filter, were considered. The commercial filters were respectively a cordierite monolith filter, a wound-fiber filter made by continuous Al2O3-B2O3-SiO2 fibers, and a sintered Chrome-Nickel stainless steel filter plate.Some evidence of the chemical interactions was detected coupling X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Hg porosimetry analyses, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations and microprobe investigations. The extent of chemical etching, the involved reaction mechanisms and the possible effects on durability, mechanical performances and filtration efficiency of the filters were also investigated.From the experimental results it was concluded that sodium leads to a diffuse etching of the ceramic filters starting from low working temperatures, and in the case of the metallic filter it induces a negative modification of its porosity. Cerium oxide does not react with the three considered filters: the only interaction consists in a positive effect on the porosity of the metallic filter. Also iron oxide does not give rise to any significant interaction with the three filters.

INDIAN CICADA DISTRIBUTIONS
Indian Cicada Distributions ("Distributions" in the tab menu above) will be the most interactive and data-intensive module of Butterflies of India. It will be based on the same concept as BirdSpot developed by L. Shyamal, but implemented online. Once this module is ready, registered users will be able to upload their cicada spot records or trip/regional checklists in a standard format, which will be entered in a centralized database after peer-review of the submitted records. Information from the database can then be used by anyone to generate distributional maps for individual cicada species, or to generate checklists of specific localities based on queries input by the users. The module is currently being developed. Until then, you can contribute images to species pages, which go in a database and are mapped.

Jain History of Maharashtra
Maharashtra has its history of at least 5000 years and the from the beginning, this region is stronghold of Jainism and Jains. The oldest evidence of Jains in Maharshtra is Valmiki Ramayan, which states that Shabari in Dandakaranya was a Shramani i.e. a Jain woman. In Mahabharat, it is stated that Rukmini of Amaravati (Vidarbh) too was a Shramani.
The oldest inscription in Maharshtra is a Jain inscription. It is in a cave near Pale village in Pune district of Maharashtra. This 2nd century B.C.E. inscription is in Prakrit language and contains Namokar Mantra.
Marathi language was born from a Prakrit language called Jain Maharashtri. The first Marathi inscription is carved at Shravanbelgola, Karnatak near the left foot of statue of Bhagwan Bahubali. It was inscripted in C.E. 981
Maharashtra was ruled by many Jain dynasties like Chalukyas, Rashtrakoots and Shilahars. Most of the forts in Maharashtra are built by kings from these dynasties. That is why you see Jain temples or idols on many forts in Maharashtra.
Most of the people in Maharashtra were follower of Jainism in ancient and medieval period. This fact is clearly stated in many Hindu religious books like Shankardigvijay and Shivlilamrut.
This site will give detailed information on this subject soon.

Skin: Branching Out
by Bonnie Taylor-Blake (Zylka Lab)
Like branches coming off a tree trunk, bundles of nerve fibers spread up and outwards to the skin surface. The endings of these nerve fibers sense cues from the environment, such as temperature and touch, and respond to injury-producing stimuli that lead to the sense of pain. A hair follicle (left) is encircled by nerve endings that detect movements of the hair itself. This image was acquired through the use of a fluorescent antibody that labels a specific protein expressed in such nerve fibers; this photograph represents a negative of that captured via confocal microscopy.


Sometimes, we need to print a report on a printed blank paper. Such as invoice, bill, credential, etc. With common reporting tools, we need to measure every data area with a ruler, and design the report according to the sizes. In a practical case, it may need to debug the report for many times. Therefore, it will be very complicated and frustrated. Moreover, if the paper format changes, developers have to design the report again. Preformatted paper printing is also called locating printing, which means to print desired content at a specific position on paper precisely. This function is widely used in report print. RAQ Report adopts base image depicting to realize the preformatted paper printing. With RAQ Report, developers can scan needed paper into an image, and set it as the background picture of the report. Next, drag the gridlines of the report to match the picture. Then, the report will be printed on the preformatted paper precisely. For specifi operations, please refer to

Project planning is an art. It involves breaking a goal down into small tasks, then assigning and scheduling those tasks so the work continuously moves toward the finish line.
Traditional project planning tools are designed to handle a complex series of tasks. They're perfect for programmers and engineers but for the average small-business owner, it can be a steep learning curve.
Why not start with something simpler? Here are three iPad apps that take a more creative approach to planning a small project.
1. iScope -- Project Management 4 Humans
This app uses an intuitive interface that looks like a leather trimmed desk blotter. The action is based on task cards which sit on three horizontal rails. Each rail represents a deeper level of sub-tasks, so you can easily break goals into manageable chunks. Click on a task card to add deadlines, write notes and attach files. iScope also has its own contact list so you can contact and assign tasks to team members without leaving the app.
The Project Dashboard tool is where you'll find pie charts and graphs that show your progress on each project. It also shows the progress of each team member so you know at a glance who needs a follow-up call.
The downside to the iScope's friendly interface is that you can only see a minimal amount of information at one time so it's best for short-term projects with a minimal number of tasks.
iScope for the iPad is free to try. The full version costs $9.99.

2. AgileScrum Pro
It may sound like an odd name for a project planner but AgileScrum is a reference to a software development method that is the basis for the app. The method takes a holistic approach to completing any project by breaking the tasks into tiny increments that your entire team can work on at the same time.
AgileScrum comes with a recognizable interface -- the old fashioned bulletin board. The board has three columns: To Do, In Progress and Done. Each task is a yellow post-it that can be dragged from one column to the next. You can assign tasks to team members, give them a specific number of hours for completion and run reports to see who is putting in the time.
The downside to this free app is that it uses terminology specific to the Agile Development method, so there's a bit of a learning curve to start.
3. Treed
Based on the concept of a tree (the project goal) with limbs (tasks) and smaller branches (sub-tasks), Treed is designed to force you to work backwards from your goal with large text boxes and a minimalist design.
Once you create your tree, you can drag and drop the task boxes, check off completed tasks, zoom out to see the big picture and use the ready task list to focus on your priorities.
What Treed doesn't do is handle dates, so it only works for projects that don't have a specific deadline. Without a free trial version, Treed costs $11.99.

The Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) has launched a new online calculator to help architects, designers, and builders achieve carbon emission reduction goals for new construction and retrofit residential and commercial projects. Called Green Footstep, the free carbon calculator allows designers to address multiple sources of carbon emissions over a building's lifetime and estimate the impact of specific design decisions in the quest for carbon neutrality.
In addition to carbon neutrality and net-zero site energy performance goals, Green Footstep also helps designers comply with the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED energy credit guidelines and the goals of Architecture 2030's 2030 Challenge.
Green Footstep gives designers the tools to make more informed design decisions by allowing them to estimate a building's life cycle carbon footprint. The program accounts for a project site's intrinsic carbon storage and weighs it against the carbon emissions generated by site preparation, construction, and operation of the building. Users can see the areas in which their projects fall short of carbon reduction or energy performance goals and make changes accordingly.
"Green Footstep allows designers to adjust design targets, such as building energy use intensity and incorporating more renewables, that will get the building out of carbon debt, edging the building closer to carbon neutrality," says Michael Bendewald, the RMI analyst who developed the calculator, in a statement announcing the online tool.
RMI recommends designers, builders, architects, and other users employ Green Footstep for a project as early as the pre-design phase and then test multiple target design changes, as necessary, throughout the design process. Users simply input project information—including location, site characteristics, and building characteristics—and the program generates a carbon emissions building performance report.
The Green Footstep Web site also offers building case studies revealing how the program has helped other projects reach carbon reduction goals. By creating a free account, users can input project information and goals, save them, and revisit them to make changes or updates. To learn more about using Green Footstep, click here.

What: A graded color effect is nice for boundaries that you want to appear to blend into the map. For the Crater Lake map, we wanted the outside of the Park boundary to be distinct and the inside of the boundary to blend into the background. If you had to symbolize an indeterminate boundary, you could make further modifications so both sides blended and the line would look like it was indistinct on both edges and more distinct in the middle. Why: It is sometimes appropriate to show that that features have indistinct boundaries or there is an interior to a feature. Either of these goals can be achieved using a graded color boundary. The sharper edge of the boundary helps distinguish it as the exterior edge. If neither edge is distinct and the middle of the symbol is sharper, then the reader can better understand that the whole boundary is indistinct. How: To achieve the graded color boundary effect, you can use buffers symbolized with a color ramp. On our map, we matched the interior of the boundary with the our data so that it blended in; the exterior edge more sharply contrasted with the area outside the park extent.
To create the boundary:
You can also use the Multiple Ring Buffer tool in ArcToolbox. The difference is that you will need to input the distance value for each of the 20 rings. If you need to make a set of uniform width buffers, the older Buffer Wizard tool is faster.
To symbolize the boundary:
You can pick colors that match your map using the Eye Dropper tool. To add the Eye Dropper tool to any of your toolbars: Click Tools and Customize. Then click on the Commands tab and scroll down to Page Layout. The Eye Dropper tool will be on the right side of the window. Click and drag the tool to any of your toolbars. Use it to click on a color and find out its RGB values.

The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred racing, consisting of the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes, did not take shape as a recognizable series of races until 1930. It was then that Daily Racing Form writer Charles Hatton coined the phrase "Triple Crown" in describing Gallant Fox's victories in those three races.
The Kentucky Derby is a 1 1/4 mile thoroughbred horse race for 3-year-olds run on the first Saturday of May each year at Churchill Downs, Louisville, Kentucky along with the Kentucky Oaks since 1875. It is the first race of the Triple Crown followed two Saturdays later by the Preakness Stakes and three weeks later, the Belmont Stakes.
The Preakness Stakes is a classic 1 3/16 mile race for 3-year-olds, held on the third Saturday in May of each year at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. The Preakness is the second and shortest leg in thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown, and almost always attracts the Kentucky Derby winner, some of the other horses that ran in the Derby, and often a few new shooters. The Preakness is famous for its house horse, a local Maryland bred and run horse that skips the Derby. Two years before the Kentucky Derby was run for the first time, Pimlico introduced the Preakness during its first-ever spring race meet in 1873. Governor Bowie had named the mile and one-half race in honor of Dinner Party Stakes winner, Preakness.
The Belmont Stakes, the third leg of the Triple Crown, held five weeks after the Kentucky Derby, at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, is a 1-1/2 mile race for 3-year-olds. Because of its length, and because it is the last part of the Triple Crown, it is sometimes called the Test of Champions. Most 3-year-olds are unaccustomed to the distance and lack the ability to maintain a winning speed for so long. The Belmont Stakes was named after financier and sportsman August Belmont, Sr. The race was first run in 1867 and it has been run at Belmont Park since 1905. The first post parade in the United States was at the 14th Belmont in 1880. The race distance has varied: from 1867 until 1873, it was 1 5/8 miles. In 1874 the distance was reduced to 1-1/2 miles, and from 1890 to 1892, and in 1895, the distance was 1 1/4 miles. From 1896 until 1925, the distance was increased to the original 1 5/8 miles. In 1926, the race distance was set at the present 1-1/2 miles
11 horses have won all three races and making them Triple Crown champions. Eleven horses have won the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. 18 horses have won the Preakness and the Belmont, but 7 of those horses did not start in the Kentucky Derby during the pre-Triple Crown era. Of the 32 horses who won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, 2 of them did not run in the Belmont Stakes. Here are their stories.


Google Glass in the Doctor's Office?
Aug 15, 2013
You've probably heard of Google Glass - the computer you wear like eyeglasses. The computer display is right in front of your eyes, and is navigated by voice commands. Now Hartford Hospital has been given a pair of the futuristic glasses by Google to explore the possibilities of using Google Glass in life saving situations by medical personnel.
The application for some of the first pairs of glasses asked respondents to finish the sentence, "If I had Glass..." Hartford Hospital responded with, "I would save lives," according to Dr. Thomas Nowicki who is an emergency room physician, and director of Hartford Hospital's Center for Education, Simulation and Innovation. Uses for Google Glass include passing along critical information quickly, such as lab results. It could also be used during CPR to analyze rate and depth of compressions to provide instant feedback and provide the most effective care. Despite a slight learning curve, Dr. Nowicki says the doctors who have worked with Google Glass adjust quickly.

What can cause an adult bird to die inside a birdhouse or nest box?
April 1, 2009
There are a few reasons why adult birds may die in a nest box.
- If it had obvious injuries, especially on its head, it may have been killed by a House Sparrow or European Starling trying to take over the box. In most cases, though, these competitors toss out birds after they kill them.
- Was the inside front of the box, below the hole, rough or grooved? Sometimes birds get stuck inside boxes because the inside walls are so smooth that they can't climb out. Tacking sandpaper or small strips of wood, making sort of a ladder, will prevent this in the future.
- Sometimes an infestation of blowflies or other parasites can become so intense that it kills not only nestlings but also adults. If there was no sign of dead young with the adult, that's probably not the answer in this case.
- Some wood preservatives may release harmful gases, especially in hot weather. Make sure any paints or varnishes that you use on your nest boxes are rated safe for indoor or playground use.
- It is also possible that migrants may arrive before adequate food is availble for them to survive. For example, Tree Swallows migrate a long way—some of the birds that nest in northern Canada and Alaska winter down in Central America. If they arrive when the temperature is too cold for flying insects, their primary food, they may die of starvation or hypothermia. This is probably what happened to your swallow, especially if swallows or bluebirds have used your nest box successfully in past years.
Nestwatch, a citizen-science project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, has a wealth of information for people who have nest boxes. For features of a good nest box, check out the page, "Features of a Good Birdhouse." You might also like to join Nestwatch and let us know what is happening in your nest boxes.

Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba)
Meadowfoam is a small, herbaceous winter-spring annual. The seven species are all native to coastal and adjoining regions of western North America, where they typically grow in marshy habitats, such as the margins of vernal pools.
The white meadowfoam Limnanthes alba is of commercial interest for its oil, while several other species are rare or endangered. Honey produced by bees that pollinate Limnanthes alba has the distinct flavor of toasted marshmallows.
The oil valued for its highly moisturizing and rejuvenating skin benefits is resistant to oxidation due to naturally occurring tocopherols.
The seeds contain 20-30% oil. Meadowfoam seed oil is extraordinarily stable, primarily because it contains over 98% long chain fatty acids (eicosenoic acid C20:1 - 61%, docosenoic acid C22:1 - 16% and docosadienoic acid C22:2 - 18% ). Meadowfoam oil is most similar to rapeseed oil. It is widely used in cosmetic and hair-care applications due to its stability, emolliency and smooth, soft skin feel.

Alaska from a Kid's Point of View
The objective of this entry is to help kids all over the country and the world who are studying about Alaska in Social Studies. We want to let them know what it is really like to be a kid in Alaska. They can find lots of facts about Alaska in other places, but we couldn't find any other source that could help kids know what it is like to really live here.
We want to inform kids about our lifestyles and hobbies because even though we live very different than most kids, we are the same in a lot of ways. If kids are doing reports, this is a fun place they can look up information they probably can't find anyplace else. It might help kids understand how exciting it is to live in Alaska if they can read about our adventures.
We want to tell kids about things they didn't even know existed so they will want to come to Alaska someday and see for themselves.

What are our children's rights and responsibilities? We all want our children to be responsible at home and at school. And children certainly feel that they have rights. What is often overlooked, though, is how intertwined rights and responsibilities are. In fact, you can't have one without the other. That's why it's important for young people to understand that their rights are often accompanied by responsibilities, and they need to know what each is specifically.
Here is a list created several years ago by 14-16 year old students and their teacher of Cowichan Valley Alternative School in Duncan, British Columbia, Canada. It accurately shows the rights and subsequent responsibilities each young person has.

Revision as of 21:56, February 13, 2013 by Kunoichi101 (Talk | contribs)
The Land of Whirlpools (渦の国, Uzu no Kuni; Viz "Land of Eddies") is where the Uzumaki clan originates from. It no longer exists, having been destroyed and the rest of the survivors scattered across the world. The surname Uzumaki was very common in this country.[1] It was located on an island off of the coast of the Land of Fire.
Main article: Uzushiogakure Uzushiogakure (渦潮隠れの里, Uzushiogakure no Sato; English TV "Hidden Eddy Village"; Literally meaning "Village Hidden by Whirling Tides") was the shinobi village of the Land of Whirlpools. Its ninja were renowned for their fūinjutsu to the point that it led to its destruction in war.[2] Those who survived the village's destruction scattered across the globe to seek refuge.[3]
 - "Uzumaki" means "spiral" or "whirlpool".

The building which is nowadays the site of the University of Seville was formerly the Cigar Factory.
Sevilla, as it had the monopoly of the trade with America, was the first place in Europe to know tobacco and the Cigar Factory of Seville was the first built in Europe.
In the 18th century, in order to meet its development, a big building of dun stone was erected in the current Prado de San Sebastian of Seville. It had two stories, surrounded by a ditch and it looked more like a palace than like a factory. There is an anecdote which tells that at the cigar factory worked the cigar makers, typical women surrounded by legend (the mythic Carmen was a cigar maker), who were portrayed by artists like Gonzalo de Bilbao.
The factory lines are sober, except for the pyramidal crowns of the corners and the colorful main façade adorned with medallions representing America's discovery -conquerors, galleons, natives smokingand crowned by a dynamic statue of the Fame, winged and playing a trumpet. Besides the interest of its façade, it is especially interesting, in the interior, the Patio del Reloj (The Clock Patio).
Half way through the 20th century, the University of Sevilla started to be moved into the building, thus the Cigar Factory moved out to another building by the banks of the Guadalquivir River. Today the building is occupied by the rector's offices and the central services of the University of Sevilla as well as some faculties.

1. Film squeezer is our newly designed machine, specially designed with spiral pressing.
2. The squeezer is especially suitable for plastic film, plastic bags, woven bags, jumbo bags, solving the previous drying problem.
3. Instead of dewatering machine, there is a hot blower in the recycling line, which is energy-saving equipment.
4. Easy to operate.
5. Make the material easier to be granulated and dried, if you use the squeezer, you will not need the following three machines: dewatering machine, pipe drying system and granulator, only one stage extruder recycling machine is needed instead of two or three stage recycling machine.
The squeezer is used to dry those washed films, woven bags, etc. into pellet form. After that, these pellets can go directly to the extruder. This is a fully automatic film and woven bag extrusion pelletizer with high drying and full plasticization of material by screw extrusion and electric heating, low power consumption and high output. The final moisture is only 3-5%. The output will be customized according to the customer's requirements.
1. The squeezer can process wet PE film, PP film, PET cloth, 98 film, 99 film.
2. Fully squeeze the moisture of the material to make the material semi-plasticized.
3. Compared with the traditional dewatering machine, the squeezer is energy-saving, good drying effect and low noise; under normal circumstances, the squeezer needs dewatering machine and pipe dryer. The squeezer has high power consumption and low efficiency. Generally speaking, the power consumption of the extruder is 50% less than that of the dewaterer.
4. The material is fully wetted into the screw, and after the extrusion process, the material is fully plasticized within 1% of humidity.
5. The extruded material will be melted and then flow to the pelletizing die.

Rye Historical Fact
- Benjamin Franklin developed the system of milestones for the Boston Post Road marking the distance from lower Manhattan. Three milestones, #24, 25 and 26, still exist in Rye.
- The first Rye settlers came from Greenwich in 1660. They bought Manursing Island from the Siwanoy for 8 coats, 7 shirts and 15 fathom of wampum.
- Rye was part of Connecticut in the late 1600s. The New York/Connecticut boarder dispute wasn't settled until 1731.
- George Washington stayed at the Square House (known as "Widow Haviland's") twice in 1789. He called it "a very neat and decent inn".
- John Adams and his cousin Samuel stopped at the Square House in 1774 on their way to the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia.
- The first village square was located across from the Square House and was where the local militia trained. Criminals were punished there in stockades and a whipping post.
- Purchase St. wasn't paved until 1912. To keep the dust down, the Village Improvement Association used sprinkling carts to spray water on the street.
- When the Square House became the Village Hall in 1904, Rye's population was 3,500. The Square House remained the Village Hall until 1964 when City Hall was built.
- The railroad came to Rye in 1849. Before that, the most efficient mode of transportation was on the water.
- The Rye Arts Center building at 51 Milton Road was built in 1788 as the second Episcopal Church, replacing the original church that burned during the Revolution.


Definition of 'Severability'
A clause in a contract that allows for the terms of the contract to be independent of one another, so that if a term in the contract is deemed unenforceable by a court, the contract as a whole will not be deemed unenforceable. If there were no severability clause in a contract, a whole contract could be deemed unenforceable because of one unenforceable term.
Also known as a "severability clause" or a "savings clause".
Investopedia explains 'Severability'
A contract with a severability clause is essentially one contract divided into many different parts: default on one component of the contract does not prevent the rest of the contract from being fulfilled. If a sentence, clause or term in a contract is deemed invalid by a court, then this problem area of the contract will most often be rewritten to fit both the contract's original intent and the requirements of the court.

, and this can be easily visualized because of the low-dimensional nature of the subspace. We can also use response surfaces for the inverse problem; we observe data, use the response surface to find the active variable value(s) that we expect to produce our observations, and invert the map from inputs to the active variable to find sets (ranges) of input values that would produce what we observe.

The presence of an exploitable active subspace in this model serves as a proof-of-concept in the application of this methodology to hydrologic models. Active subspaces may be present in other hydrologic models for various domains, climate conditions, and sets of input parameters. The dimension reduction provided by these methods, especially for expensive, high-dimensional models, could aid in making accurate and timely predictions, optimizing output over the input space, or calibrating parameters, and if a sufficiently accurate approximation is found in the active subspace for a particular case, expensive simulation could be eschewed altogether in that case.

Australia has one of the most comprehensive collections of population data on healthcare, but until now, analysing it has been quite limited. The data is distributed amongst various sources, and the systems on which these datasets are located are typically unsuitable for complex analysis.
However, the Sax Institute has today launched a project called the Secure Unified Research Environment (SURE) that aims to overcome both limitations by providing a central datacentre where researchers can form connections between data sources and access the necessary computing power to perform big-data analysis. Health researchers will be able to securely access health information provided by hospitals, cancer registries, clinical trials, general practices and research studies.
The project was funded by the Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education, as well as the NSW Government.
While the environment was only officially launched today, it has already been used to analyse Australian habits on visiting the same general practitioner, or "consistency of care", which has been linked to the long-term quality of healthcare.
Previously, data on consistency of care would have been analysed by looking at data from the Medicare Benefits Scheme to determine who does or doesn't use the same practitioner, but this doesn't provide much insight. By combining the Medicare data with the Sax Institute's own "45 & Up" study, as well as data from the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, researchers were able to discover more.
For instance, the analysis was able to confirm the intuitive beliefs that the older Australians get, the more likely they are to have higher consistency of care, and that remote areas of Australia have lower consistency of care. However, it also revealed that wealthier and more highly educated Australians have lower consistency of care — a finding that would not have been possible to determine by looking at a single dataset alone.
Privacy in SURE
Any time large sets of data are linked and mined for information, privacy concerns rise to the forefront. Recognising this, SURE divides personally identifiable information and the content of health records, such as medication information or hospital-admission information.
Organisations called data-linkage units receive encrypted record ID numbers and personal identifying information from sources, but no healthcare records. The linkage units then create their own unique, randomly generated IDs for each person. When a research project requires the data, these randomly generated IDs are used as a basis to create project-specific IDs.
Once the data-linkage units and the data source agree on what information a project is allowed, the data-linkage unit sends the encrypted record ID numbers as well as the new set of project-specific IDs to the source. The data source is then able to decrypt the record ID numbers and match them up to any healthcare records, free of personally identifiable information. The information is then made accessible on SURE's systems for analysis.
The end result is that any researcher logging in can only identify an individual by a SURE-generated ID, unrelated to that person's original record ID. As the ID is specific to the researcher's project, it also means that researchers cannot collude with other researchers working on different projects to gain more personally identifiable information than originally permitted.
Security in SURE
To use SURE, researchers first need to have their project approved by the data owners, and also by a human research ethics committee. After this, researchers' access is limited to secure computers. These are scanned for malware prior to the log-on process, and a security certificate is installed on the permitted computer to limit access.
To log in, the researcher's account has certain minimum-length password requirements and the necessity of a physical hardware token, which must be plugged in to the nominated computer via USB. If any of the three factors — the certificate, USB token or password — are missing, tampered with or incorrect, access to the system is denied.
Although steps are taken to make the researcher's computer more secure than the average PC, analysis of data is still performed remotely. Researchers use their computer as a virtual terminal to tap into SURE's infrastructure, running a highly specified version of 64-bit Windows 7. These virtual workstations have a number of proprietary and open-source analysis tools pre-installed, or installed as needed after being assessed for security. This allows researchers to conduct their analysis using the larger computing power of SURE's facilities.
As analysis may take time to complete, researchers can log off and leave their analysis running in the background, logging in from another secured location at a later date.
The datacentre has a tier-3 ranking, and numerous other physical security features have been implemented, such as the removal of access to printers and removable media within the facility.
Even then, the data flow of all files entering and leaving SURE passes through a privately developed audit tool called the Curation Gateway, providing administrators with the ability to flag any suspicious activity and take immediate action.
Once research has been completed, any remaining data files are encrypted and then archived only for as long as needed. After this time, they are destroyed.

Introduction: Dialysis treatment prior to transplantation may contribute to premature mortality and graft loss in kidney-transplanted patients. In this prevalent cohort study (TransQol-HU Study), we analyzed the association between pre-transplant dialysis duration versus mortality and death-censored graft loss in kidney-transplanted patients. Methods: Data from 926 kidney-transplanted patients followed at a single outpatient transplant center were analyzed. Socio-demographic parameters, laboratory data, medical history, donor characteristics and information on co-morbidities were collected at baseline. Data on 5-year outcome (graft loss, mortality) were collected. Results: In multivariate analyses, pre-transplant dialysis duration was an independent risk factor for mortality (HRfor each month increase = 1.011; 95% CI: 1.005-1.016) and also for death-censored graft loss (HR for each month increase = 1.008; 95% CI: 1.001-1.015) after adjustment for several co-variables. In the multivariate model, patients with less than 1 year (HR = 0.498; 95% CI: 0.302-0.820; P = 0.006) and 1-3 years (HR = 0.577; 95% CI: 0.371-0.899; P = 0.015) of pre-transplant dialysis had significantly better survival after transplantation compared to those with more than 3 years on dialysis. Conclusions: These findings add further strength to existing evidence about the significant association between longer pre-transplant dialysis duration and poor outcome in kidney-transplanted patients.

water opportunities, generating up to 1 million acre-feet— Inland desalination in certain areas with brackish groundwater and surface water is a viable option to stretch water supplies, potentially generating 620,000 acre-feet of water. In addition, dust-on-snow management can help save a minimum of 400,000 acre-feet of water while removing dense invasive plants in upland areas will save a minimum of 30,000 acre-feet of water.
In the end, we can say that almost all the solutions to the problem of providing drinking water in the future are in the hands of man. Nature gives us practically inexhaustible sources of life; from all of us, from each of us, only one thing is required - to preserve what nature is providing.

C++ Fast Track for Games Programming Part 6: Floats
C++ Fast-track
C++ Fast-track for Games Programming Part 6: Floats
In this tutorial, we're going to look at how you can get the computer to calculate with decimal values (numbers like 3.14, called floats), instead of only integral values (numbers like 3, called integers).
Previous Part: ConditionsNext Part: Debugging
Getting the Stuff You Need
If you don't have it yet, get the template package:
TheTemplate.zip TheTemplate.zip
As usual, extract the package to a fresh directory (say, C:\Projects\floats or where ever you keep your projects) and load up the.sln file. Remove the hello world code in the Game::Tick function in game.cpp:
 void Game::Tick(float deltaTime)
Balls Again
Before we start working with floats, let's setup things so we can show something interesting. Let's load a Sprite again!
Add a Sprite variable above the Tick function like this:
Sprite theSprite( new Surface("assets/ball.png"), 1 );
void Game::Tick( float deltaTime )
You may have noticed that some images are in.tga files, while others are in.png files. These are image file formats. Other formats are:.gif,.jpg,.bmp, and many others exist. Each format has advantages and disadvantages:.gif is small but can store only 256 unique colors;.jpg is often even smaller but is lossy, which means that it is only an approximation of the original image,.tga has a really simple internal layout.
The template loads images using a library, in this case the FreeImage library. A library is a collection of useful code that we can include in our project. Have a look at Surface::LoadImage (in surface.cpp, line 51) to see how FreeImage is used to load image files to a surface.
Now make your Tick function like this:
int spriteY = 0, speed = 1;
void Game::Tick( float deltaTime )
 screen->Clear( 0 );
 spriteY += speed++;
 if (spriteY > (512 - 50))
 spriteY = 512 - 50;
 speed = (-speed * 40) / 50;
 theSprite.Draw( screen, 20, spriteY );
Some interesting things here: the code to add speed to spriteY on line 30 are collapsed into a single line by using the increment operation (speed++). This translates to: use speed here, and increment it right after obtaining its value. Alternatively, we can write: ++speed, which first increments the value, and then uses the already incremented value.
The bouncing also contains an interesting construct: the inverted speed is multiplied by 40, then divided by 50. Why? To dampen it: the ball will now lose energy. Alternatively, we could have written:
speed = -speed * 0.8;
But that is not the same thing. Try that line, and instead of hitting F5 to run the application, hit (Ctrl + F7, or select Build > Compile from the main menu) to just build the source file that is currently open in the editor. The compiler will give you a warning:
1>game.cpp(32): warning C4244: '=': conversion from 'double' to 'int', possible loss of data
The speed variable is of type int (integer, \(\mathbb{Z}\)), which means that it can store whole numbers only. So when we perform a calculation that involves a real number (\(\mathbb{R}\)), the processor has to truncate the result to the nearest whole number, which is a potential loss of precision; hence the warning.
Switching to Floats
Let's convert our program so that it uses floats. Here is the code:
float spriteY = 0, speed = 1;
void Game::Tick( float deltaTime )
 screen->Clear( 0 );
 spriteY += speed;
 speed += 1.0f;
 if (spriteY > (512 - 50))
 spriteY = 512 - 50;
 speed = -speed * 0.8f;
 theSprite.Draw( screen, 20, spriteY );
Not a lot changed: incrementing speed with ++ doesn't work with floats, so it was put back on its own on line 33, and the damping now done using 0.8f on line 37. The code also still does the same thing. So what's the big deal?
Well, in the previous version, speed could only be an integer value (1, 2, 3, etc…), making the ball bounce slower than 1 would be a bit of a problem. With floats, we totally have that option. We can for instance have a low gravity bounce by adding 0.1f to speed. Or, we can adapt to the current frame rate.
We fixed the warning that was occuring on line 32, but now we are getting a warning on line 39 where the sprite is drawn. Why?
Sprite::Draw expects integer coordinates for the sprite. Sending it a float value where it is expecting an int forces the processor to truncate the value. To prevent the warning, we can do the truncation ourselves, so that it is clear that the loss of precision is intentional. We do this by casting the float value to an int by adding (int) in front of spriteY on line 39:
 theSprite.Draw(screen, 20, (int)spriteY);
Likewise, we can cast an int value to a float:
int a = 300;
float b = (float)a;
This seems useless: the compiler would not warn us of such a conversion (since no precision is lost). However, you need to be aware that this conversion is happening: conversions take time, and can be a performance issue once we start executing complex applications.
The bouncing ball application probably runs at 60 Frames Per Second (FPS) on your machine. You can verify this using a tool called Fraps.
You can download Fraps for free here: _URL_. When you start the application, it looks like this:
Also great for recording videos of your work for educational evidence or for your game programming portfolio.
Click on the 99 FPS tab. Now start your application again. Fraps adds a framerate counter, which should confirm that you are indeed running at 60 frames per second. This is not a limit of the template; typically this is limited by the refresh rate of your screen. Let's remove this restriction. For that, we need to modify the template somewhat. This is going to get ugly…
Open template.cpp and locate the main function. This is where a template application starts. Right after the opening bracket of this function we are going to add a line:
int main( int argc, char **argv )
This line tells SDL2 (another library the template uses) to disable the VSync.
What is VSync anyways? Well, old-skool monitors produced images by aiming an electron beam at a glass plate (and then your eyes). This beam zig-zagged over the pixels to light them up. At the bottom of the screen, this beam stops, and returns to the top-left corner. This is called the vertical retrace. This is the perfect moment to start displaying a new image; only during the retrace swapping can be done without tearing. So synchronising frames to this retrace is useful. Modern monitors simulate this retrace, typically at 60 Hz. Synchronising to the refresh rate of your screen limits your framerate to 60 (or 120 Hz if you have a 120 Hz monitor).
Unlocked frame rates
By disabling VSync, we can achieve unlocked frame rates.
Now that we have lifted the limitation we can reach much higher framerates: on my system, I get ~1500 FPS. But there's more. 🙂
In the file template.h you will find a line that reads:
// _TAG_ ADVANCEDGL
The start of this line indicates that it is a comment. This is a popular way to leave functionality in a source file without enabling it. We can apply the setting by removing the slashes:
Now run the application again. This setting enables a faster internal code path of the template. Sadly, this code path is not compatible with all graphics adaptors, and in some cases you may see a reduced frame rate, like I did, which is why it is disabled by default. On my machine it works, but now I get ~600 FPS.
When enabling OpenGL, the screen's framebuffer is copied to the GPU for direct display. Depending on your CPU and operating system, you may or may not see a performance improvement.
It is important to continually monitor the performance of your application so that you know if a change you have made had a positive or negative impact on the performance. But keep in mind that what works well on your PC, may not work the same way on everyone's PC.
Too Fast to be Fun
By now, the ball sprite is bouncing frantically on your screen. We could easily reduce its speed, but by how much? One system runs at 450 FPS, another at 700 FPS, and perhaps your ancient Asus EEE is barely able to achieve 60 FPS…
We can solve that.
Add the following line at the top of your Game::Tick function:
 void Game::Tick(float deltaTime)
 printf("%f\n", deltaTime);
This prints the value of the mysterious deltaTime variable that we had available since the start of this course. The numbers that you see in the console window are the frame

Questions and Answers
If atoms are 99.999999999999% empty space then why don't things pass right through them?
Now the question you should be asking is, if atoms push away from each other, why doesn't the entire universe just blow away from itself? The answer is that some, actually most atoms' electron shells are not full. When two atoms come together and have empty spaces in their electron shells, they will share electrons to fill in the spaces in both of their shells. Yes, the electrons really do go back and forth between atoms and they do so pretty fast. Electrons tend to be kind of mobile, which is also a very nice feature of nature, since without it your walkman would not work. Once both atoms' outer shells are full due to this electron sharing, they go back to their usual repulsive behavior. This, by the way, is how we get molecules and the secret to understanding Chemistry. It's all about the electrons!

Thomas Addison
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Not to be confused with Thomas Edison.
Thomas Addison
Born April 1793
Longbenton, Northumberland, England
Died 29 June 1860
Brighton, East Sussex, England
Cause of death
Resting place
Lanercost Priory
Occupation Physician
Known for Addison's Disease, Pernicious anemia
Parents Sarah and Joseph Addison
Thomas Addison (April 1793 – 29 June 1860) was a renowned 19th-century English physician and scientist. He is traditionally regarded as one of the "great men" of Guy's Hospital in London.
Among other pathologies he discovered Addison's disease (a degenerative disease of the adrenal glands) and Addisonian anemia (pernicious anemia), a hematological disorder later found to be caused by failure to absorb vitamin B12.
The early years[edit]
Thomas Addison was born in April 1793, but his exact birthdate is not known. He was born in Longbenton, near Newcastle upon Tyne, the son of Sarah and Joseph Addison, a grocer and flour dealer in Long Benton. He attended the local Thomas rutter school and then went to the Royal Free Grammar School in Newcastle upon Tyne. He learned Latin so well that he made notes in Latin and spoke it fluently.
Addison's father wanted him to become a lawyer, but he entered the University of Edinburgh Medical School in 1812 as a medical student. In 1815 he received the degree of Doctor of Medicine. His thesis was on Dissertatio medica inauguralis quaedam de syphilide et hydrargyro complectens (Concerning Syphilis and Mercury).
Addison moved from Edinburgh to London the same year and became a house surgeon (a surgical resident) at the Lock Hospital. Addison was also a pupil of Thomas Bateman at the public dispensary. He began a practice in medicine while he was physician at an open ward reception on Carey Street.
Thanks to his teachers, Addison became fascinated by diseases of the skin (dermatology). This fascination, which lasted the rest of his life, led him to be the first to describe the changes in skin pigmentation typical of what is now called Addison's disease.
Guy's Hospital[edit]
Thomas Addison
Addison's memorable career as a physician and scientist is usually dated to 1817 when he enrolled as a physician pupil at Guy's Hospital. Guy's Medical School recorded his entrance as follows: "Dec. 13, 1817, from Edinburgh, T. Addison, M.D., paid pounds 22-1s to be a perpetual Physician's pupil." Addison obtained his licentiateship in the Royal College of Physicians in 1819 and some years later was elected a fellow of the Royal College.
Addison was promoted to assistant physician on 14 January 1824 and in 1827 he was appointed lecturer of materia medica. In 1835 Addison was joint lecturer with Richard Bright on practical medicine, and in 1837 he became a full physician at Guy's Hospital. When Bright retired from the lectureship in 1840 Addison became sole lecturer. He held this position until about 1854–55. At that time, when medical students paid fees for separate courses of lectures, they searched throughout the city for the most attractive teachers. Addison was a brilliant lecturer. He attracted a large number of medical students to his lectures.
Thomas Addison was a superb diagnostician but rather a shy and taciturn man and had a small practice, at a time when physicians of his position usually had large practices. He was one of the most respected physicians at the Guy's Hospital, where he exerted a great deal of influence, devoting himself almost wholly to his students and patients. He was described as the type of doctor who is always trying to discover the change in a piece of machinery rather than one who, like his contemporary Benjamin Guy Babington, regarded his patients as suffering, sensitive human beings.[citation needed]
Thomas Addison suffered from many episodes of marked depression. It would seem certain that depression contributed to his retirement in 1860. He wrote then to his medical students as follows: "A considerable breakdown in my health has scared me from the anxieties, responsibilities and excitement of my profession; whether temporarily or permanently cannot yet be determined but, whatever may be the issue, be assured that nothing was better calculated to soothe me than the kind interest manifested by the pupils of Guy's Hospital during the many trying years devoted to that institution."
Three months later, on 29 June 1860, he committed suicide. The day after his death the Brighton Herald recorded that:
He was buried in the churchyard of Lanercost Priory. The hospital had a bust made of him, named a hall of the new part of the hospital for him, and perpetuated his memory with a marble wall table in the chapel.
Diseases Addison described[edit]
Addison is known today for describing a remarkably wide range of diseases. His name has entered into the annals of medicine and is part of the name of a number of medical disorders, including:
Addison gave one of the first adequate accounts of appendicitis and wrote a valuable study of the actions of poisons. He also made seminal contributions to the recognition and understanding of many other diseases, including;

Aggressive forms of prostate cancer may one day be detected with a urine test, say researchers from the University of Michigan.
Further testing and validation of U of M's research is underway, but the British journal Nature published initial findings this month.
Nature News, the journal's reporting arm, discussed the study findings with lead author Christopher Beecher.
Basic findings suggest higher concentrations of sarcosine, a small molecule in urine, were found in advanced forms of prostate cancer. Researchers also said adding sarcosine to benign prostate cells caused cancerous behavior in the healthy cells.
Researchers said their findings could lead to a urine test that detects aggressive prostate cancer.
Various other news outlets, including U.S. News & World Report and BBC News also reported on the findings.
Currently urine tests are used to detect blood in the urine, which is a symptom associated with prostate cancer. Learn more about prostate cancer diagnosis and understand the prostate cancer disease process.

A dreamteacher is a specialized type of virtual reality computer software that enables M'rowans (and, as it turns out, humans) to improve or learn new skills or languages while sleeping by creating dreams of situations designed to teach and allow the user to reflect on the skill in question.
Dreamteachers are best suited to teach mental or knowledge-based skills. Primarily physical skills, such as combat or sports, can be taught up to a point by (in a sense) 'programming' the user's nervous system, it is ultimately not a replacement for actual training of such skills.
The dreamteacher software requires a direct connection to the user's brain, which is usually established through a special helmet-like accessory; individuals with an implant computer and a neural jack or wireless connection do not need such equipment, though. In addition, the software can be fairly demanding in computer requirements – for less advanced skills, a personal computer will suffice, while more complex fields require a microframe or even a mainframe computer.

Objective: To study the association of cigarette smoking with risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), among 377,481 female health professionals in the Women's Health Cohort Study.
Methods: Subjects completed mailed questionnaires regarding demographics, health habits, including cigarette smoking history, and medical history, including RA diagnosis made by a physician and date of diagnosis. Of 7,697 women who self-reported RA, 3,416 reported seropositive RA. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to retrospectively assess the associations of smoking intensity and duration with the risk of developing RA or seropositive RA. Cigarette smoking status was treated as a time-varying exposure in these regression models.
Results: In multivariate analyses controlling for age, race, education, age at menarche, pregnancy history, menopausal status, and postmenopausal hormone use, duration of smoking was associated with a significantly increased risk of both RA and seropositive RA (both P < 0.01 for trend), after adjusting for smoking intensity. Women who smoked > or =25 cigarettes/day for more than 20 years experienced a 39% increased risk of RA and 49% increased risk of seropositive RA. However, smoking intensity (number of cigarettes/day) was unrelated to risk of RA or seropositive RA (both P = 0.3 for trend), after adjusting for duration of smoking.
Conclusion: Duration, but not intensity, of cigarette smoking is associated with a modest increased risk of RA in women.
