This isn't a special case. If you can post an answer that is useful and addresses the question and isn't just covering ground covered by other answers (on that question or another one), you should post it. Making a Stack Overflow answer useful usually (though not always) requires code, and code must be marked up properly. If you "can't" do that, don't post an answer. But you can do that.
should anyone refrain from answering if they can't format an answer, no matter the reason?
The only way a person can't format an answer is if the device they're using is missing a way to enter the necessary markdown formatting characters. I know of no such devices. (The only character I can think of that might be hard to find on a device is the backtick, which is only needed for inline code markup. Even on my ancient Samsung Galaxy [I dug it up], the backtick is readily accessible: I hit the button for symbols, and then the button for the second page of symbols, and there it is. But that's only needed for inline code; code blocks require nothing but spaces.)
So really, the question contains a logical fallacy. :-) It's asking what someone should do if they can't do X, when they can do X.
So, two answers:
No, don't post an answer if you cannot format the answer sufficiently. Perhaps post a comment suggesting what the answer might be.
Yes, you should post an answer (subject to the usual rules of usefulness) — because you can format it sufficiently.
Note that "sufficiently" needn't be all-singing, all-dancing. It may not be as thoroughly-formatted as you'd've done if you'd been sitting at a computer. But at a minimum, code must be marked up to be clear (four spaces per line, not challenging), and in general if clarity suffers for lack of formatting, that means said formatting is necessary.

Flickerstrings is a new experimental work created by the developer of FIG and Jump on Mushrooms: The Game. In it, players are required to draw an object to use as a playable character, starting from the brown box and ending when the maximum line length is reached. Once drawn, the shape can be moved around using the cursor keys. This shape turns into an immovable platform when the player attempts to draw another shape from the brown box.
The length of each string is limited, but you can cancel any mistakes by right clicking before the shape is drawn. You can also press the space key to restart a level at any time.
There are a total of twelve stages included in this version.

Jet Fuel Mixture Activity
In this activity you will learn how to use a JAVA 3D Slicer to analyze 3D scientific data sets. This HDF three dimensional data set represents the concentration of a fuel/air mixture in a closed container for an instant in time (750 units of time) after the fuel was injected into the container. The data is from an experiment that simulated the injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of a jet engine. Each fuel concentration value is represented by the combination of the x, y, and z coordinates which define the dimensions of the box. The purpose of the experiment was to test different shapes of fuel injection ports to derive the best shape for achieving the optimal fuel/air mix. In the concentration diagram below you can see the elliptical injection port on the left; this is where the fuel is injected into the chamber. Next, the fuel flows to the right and forms an elliptical cloud of fuel and air.
In this activity you will use the JAVA 3D Slicer to view the three dimensional data set. While "slicing" through the x, y, and z planes you will observe trends in the fuel concentrations. As you move the slice through the data the observed colors will change; red stands for the highest concentration and purple for the lowest concentration.
To perform this activity you will use the first data set in the brown.hdf file (although it should already be selected, you can make sure by selecting the drop down menu from the upper right hand corner of the JAVA applet). The data set exists in the JAVA 3D Slicer's folder; it is named brown.hdf. To access the file you select the drop down menu on the top of the JAVA applet and select "Open URL", then type "brown.hdf" (without the quotes). The data set will then load on the screen and you can move the "slice" through the data to observe certain trends and concentration levels.

You now have better control over the format of your customer data in Totango, thanks the List attribute type.
With the List attribute you can predefine field values and set defaults, allowing administrators to standardize inputs.
Once you've set up your first List attribute, you can do the following things:
- Restrict inputs to predefined values
- Filter Segments
- Use List values like any other attribute. For example: kick off a SuccessPlay or Campaign when the field value changes.
Creating a List attribute
To set up a List attribute, follow these steps (note - you must have the Global Admin role to create a custom attribute):
- Navigate to Global Settings
- Select Attributes and Metrics
- Choose whether you are creating the attribute at the Account or User level
- Click the green "+" button to add a new attribute
- Name the attribute and provide a description
- For the attribute type, select List.
- Define the values for this List. You can re-order values as necessary.
- Decide whether or not the field can be edited. Note: if you decide to restrict editability, no one including Global Admins will be able to edit the field value from within the Totango user interface.
- Decide whether or not the field is visible to everyone, or restricted to users who's SuccessTeam has access to these accounts.
- Select what you want to happen in case a new account is created or updated and no value is provided for this field. Your options are:
- Delete - the attribute will not be displayed on the Account or User profile. If there is an existing value in the field and a null value is upload, the existing value will be cleared and the attribute will be deleted from the Account Profile.
- Previous Value - If the attribute is updated with a null value via manual upload or through the API, Totango will retain the previous value rather than deleting it.
- Default Value - If the attribute is updated with a null value, Totango will populate the default value as defined by the Global Admin.
- Save your attribute and it's ready for use!
Using List attributes in Segments
Once created, the List attribute can be used to generate segments. When you using a List attribute in your segment criteria, you will have two options:
- Is one of - Allows you to select one or more values to search on.
- Is not one of - Allows you to filter out undesired values from your segment.
Because disabled values are not deleted, it is possible to use disabled values in your segment criteria.
- List values cannot be deleted once they are created; however, they can be disabled and renamed.
- When List values are renamed, once saved, the changes will cascade to all accounts.

The name of the artist is George Catlin (_PHONE_). The picture, depicting traditional dress, provides the opportunity to study the culture and clothing of this Native American Indian woman. The name of the Native Indian woman in the picture is Sha-kó-ka, Mint, a Pretty Girl, 1832, Mandan Numakiki tribe. The picture of her raises different points of interest which increase knowledge and understanding of Native Indian tribes:
dna testing, dna ancestry testing, ancestry, genealogy, indian genealogy records, paternity testing, turquoise jewelry, native american jewelry
The title we have given the picture reflects the name of the tribe, for ease of identification.
The artist of this painting, George Catlin, wrote the following to accompany this picture:
"A very pretty and modest girl, twelve years of age, with grey hair! peculiar to the Mandans … about one in twelve, of both sexes and of all ages, have … hair of a bright silvery grey, and exceedingly coarse and harsh."

Vortex lattice melting and irreversibility temperatures in YBa2Cu3O7Author(s): S.B.Ota
The dc I-V characteristic of polycrystalline YBa2Cu3O7-X high temperature superconductors (HTSC) is measured near the transition temperature (Tc). A difference in voltage was found for forward and reverse current directions near Tc. The measured dc voltage showed increased noise near Tc which is related to flicker 1/f noise. The experimental results are explained in terms of melting of the vortex lattice and irreversibility temperature which is observed near the superconducting transition in YBa2Cu3O7-x.

data on mohair quality was available in the database.
Indices in Angora breeding
The traits are divided into 5 main categories:
Animal's own traits:
Kemp and medullation:
Besides the five main indices and the three sub-indices describing mohair quality, a total breeding index is estimated, the S-index, combining all the indices. Like sheep and beef cattle breeding, Angora goat breeding is characterised by a very limited number of artificial inseminations. Therefore the male breeding animals have only a small number of progeny, often born in one herd. Hence, it is very difficult to estimate breeding values which can be compared, from one herd to another and for animals born in different years. In connection with sale or exchange of breeding stock -and perhaps inseminationsome relationships will be established in other herds. By using the Animal Model, it is thus possible to estimate fairly reliable breeding values.
The Animal Model estimates breeding values, making allowance for the heritabilities of the traits and the known relationships. At the same time, a correction is made for systematic environmental impacts. These corrections allow a comparison between the results collected in different environmental conditions (e.g. herds) and for different categories of animal (e.g. sex and age).
Table 1 shows the average indices of all Angora goats born during the past 6 years. When comparing the results of the different years, the breeding progress achieved can be estimated. According to Table 1, Angora breeding activities have been based on the evaluation of the mohair. Progress has also been achieved in the field of production and fineness, due to the positive correlation between mohair evaluation and mohair quality.
Table 1. Average of indices for birth year and breeding process per year (_PHONE_)
* calculated by means of regression analysis
|1990||1992||1994||1996||1997||Average change per year*|
|Number of animals||651||1824||1584||1408||1387||-|
|Kemp & medullation||99.8||99.7||101.9||103.6||104.0||0.8|
The purpose of estimating the S-index is to increase the total breeding progress in the years to come. It should be possible to greatly improve production figures and fineness while, at the same time, maintaining or moderately improving mothering traits and liveability.
Do we do enough recording?
Jørn Pedersen (pers. comm.) has analysed the number of information recorded on the registered goats. Thirteen thousand two hundred and forty-seven Angora goats have been registered in the Danish Angora database. Eight percent are born in foreign countries and 12 per cent are not registered from birth. The remaining 79 per cent corresponds to 10,488 animals. The following records have been reported, expressed as a percentage of the 10,488 animals in the Danish Breeding database:

THE GENETIC IMPROVEMENT OF THE ANGORA GOAT IN FRANCE
Daniel Allain1 and André Billant2
INRA, Génétique Animale, Station d'Amélioration Génétique des Animaux, 31326 Castanet Tolosan, France1 and Caprigène France, Section Angora, Agropole, Mignaloux Beauvoir, 87000 Poitiers, France2
The French mohair industry has been developing since 1978. Today, about 8000 pure-bred Angora goats are raised, on about 180 different farms, and produce annually 30 t of mohair. The entire French production is collected, graded and processed under the control of farmer's co-operatives, to produce finished products such as hand-knitted shawls or pure mohair blankets, and marketed directly to consumers by the farmers themselves. A niche market for French mohair has been developed and producers control all the steps from farm to final consumer. French producers are all gathered in different farmers organisations, in order to control the genetic improvement of Angora goats (Caprigène Angora) as well as production (Association Nationale des Eleveurs de Chèvre Angora) and marketing (SICA-Mohair and France Mohair) of mohair produced in France under a common label «Le Mohair des Fermes de France ». A National Selection scheme has been developed with breeders, in order to improve on a national and common basis both quantity and quality of mohair produced by Angora goats. As a breeding objective, an ideal 18-month Angora goat will produce a high clean fleece weight with an average fibre diameter lower than 30µ, without kemp and medullated fibres. Other breeding attributes, including reproductive rate and ability to utilise low-value feed, will be maintained at a reasonable level. This selection scheme is based on an open nucleus population of 1500 breeding does on 50 farms with an on-farm performance recording system, a national genetic database and a buck-testing station. The objectives are to estimate annually breeding value on a common national basis, to help farmers on selection decisions by regular information exchanges between the farmers and the genetic database, and to create and disseminate genetic progress, inside both the open selected nucleus and the whole French Angora goat population. The following institutes and organisations are involved in this genetic improvement programme: a breeder organisation, « Caprigène France section angora », a textile laboratory « Institut Textile de France -Sud » for fibre measurements, « Institut de l'Elevage » the French Breeding Institute for genetic database management and INRA, a Research Institute for breeding value estimation and general purpose of the selection scheme.
The French mohair industry:
The French mohair industry has been developing since 1978. Today, there is around 8000 pure-bred goats, in about 180 farms. Thirty tonnes of mohair are produced each year. The mohair is graded and processed by farmers co-operatives. The final product is sold directly to the consumers.
Producers belong to regional associations. The genetic improvement of mohair is controlled via Caprigène France Section Angora; the mohair production, through the French Association of Angora Goat Breeders (ANECA). The marketing of the fibre is made by Processor Associations (Sica Mohair and France Mohair). The final product is sold under a common label "Le Mohair des Fermes de France".
The French selection scheme:
A National Selection scheme has been developed with breeders, to improve the quantity and quality of the mohair fibre. The breeding objectives for mohair are to have an 18-month old Angora goat producing a high clean fleece weight, with an average fibre diameter lower than 30 microns, free of kemp and medullated fibres. This scheme is based on an open nucleus population, which consist in 1500 breeding females, on 50 farms (a system of on-farm performance recording is implemented), a national database system and a buck-testing station. The objective is to estimate annually the breeding value of the animals on a common national basis, to help farmers taking selection decisions and to create, and disseminate, genetic progress.
Recording system and measurements:
The on-farm performance recording system: On the farm, the farmer records the animal identification, its pedigree and the reproduction data. Every 6 month, he shears and weighs the greasy fleece of the animal. A scoring committee visits the farm and undertakes an animal scoring and fleece assessment on all animals between 15-18 months of age. A fleece sampling is also done. The textile laboratory then measures fleece and fibre characteristics.
Measurements of fleece characteristics:
Objective measurements are done both on the farm and

The community was named Highlands because the east bank of the San Jacinto River, where Highlands is located, has a higher elevation than the west bank of the river. By 1908 Highlands became a station on the Beaumont, Sour Lake and Western Railway. A post office opened in 1929. Highlands incorporated in 1930, but its charter was voided, leaving Highlands as unincorporated again. In the 1930s Highlands had 20 businesses and its population decreased from 350 to 200. The 1936 Harris County highway map indicated two churches, a factory, a school, and a sawmill in Highlands. Highlands housed military members and war plant personnel during World War II. By 1948 Highlands had 3,000 residents and 75 businesses. In the 1950s local business decreased and the population decreased to 2,723. A 1956 attempt for Highlands to incorporate did not pass. In the 1960s Highlands had a canning sales company and an industrial chemical company. In the early 1960s Highlands had 4,336 residents and 82 businesses. In 1965 W. O. Hutson built the Double Trouble Youth Rodeo Arena. In the early 1970s Highlands had 3,462 residents and 66 businesses. By 1977 Highlands had 5,000 residents; in 1989 Highlands reported the same population. In 1990 Highlands had an estimated population of 6,632.

How Long Have Humans Been Drinking Alcohol?
Old wine bottles kept in a cave.
For centuries alcohol has been a prime mover of human culture, fueling the development of art, language, and religion. But for how long have humans been drinking? Who came up with the idea of alcohol? These are fundamental questions that have often been asked. Several theories have emerged explaining the genesis of alcohol drinking. While some of the theories have scientific backing, the majority of the theories are linked to the cultural way of life of the early man.
Archaeological Record
Human ancestors may have discovered alcohol over ten million years ago, long before the modern booze brewing began. The chemical analysis of vessels discovered from the Neolithic village of Jiahu in northern China reveal traces of alcohol that may have been absorbed and stored by the jars. The chemical analysis indicated that the fermented substance was made out of grapes, honey, and berries and may have been produced between 7000 and 6650 BC. The Sumerian and Egyptian documents dating back to about 2100 BC mention medicinal uses of alcohol. The Hebrew Bible also recommends giving alcohol to the perishing. In classical Greek, the wine was an important part of breakfast, while Roman citizens included alcohol in their meals beginning in the first century. Documents from the Middle Age indicate that alcohol of low strength was an everyday drink in Europe.
Distilled Alcohol
The first evidence of distillation was obtained from a Greek alchemist in the 1st century AD. The Persian and Arab scientists used distillation in their alchemical experiments. The distillation of alcohol in China began around the 1st century during the Han Dynasty. However, the first certain and dated evidence of alcohol distillation dates back to 12th century, from the School of Salerno. In Medieval Europe, the consumption of alcoholic drinks was linked to poor public sanitation and was considered a way of avoiding water-borne diseases. The concept of distillation of alcohol was considered the cheapest and safest way of killing disease-causing microorganisms.
Scientific Discovery and Modern Consumption
To learn more about the ability of human ancestors to digest alcohol, scientists studied the genes found on a digestive enzyme known as ADH4. The enzymes were obtained from the intestines of primates. The results of the scientific research suggested that the early human beings had the ability to break down alcoholic substances. The first model of the evolution of alcohol drinking indicates that alcoholic substances entered the human body after human beings began storing food leading to the development of the fermentation of food about 10,000 years ago. The early modern church (15th to 19th century) considered alcohol a gift from God to be used moderately and for enjoyment, but not for drunkenness. The production and distribution of spirit spread slowly and only became popular in the 18th century. Sparkling champagne made its debut in the 17th century. The overabundance of corn, especially in America, led to hearty drinking tradition which was characterized by many types of alcohol and heavy drinking.

How to best set up your Google Groups
What is the best way to set up your Google Groups for ease of use in Happeo (and general usage)
What do I use Google Groups for?
Typically there are two main reasons for setting up Google Groups. The first one is communication. It provides an easy method to reach large groups of users without having to select or add them all manually. The second method is to use the groups for sharing. The groups can be used for giving access to documents and other Google resources, this is specifically handy when giving out access to Shared Drives (formerly called Team Drives) in Google. For example, if a document or a shared drive is shared on a group level, all members in that group will have access to the content along with future members. For Happeo, we also use these same groups to set up access within the Happeo platform. This makes it easy to give access to a Channel or Page to the right group of users.
Read more about the difference between Groups and Organizational Units here.
Most organizations already have some user groups set up. The most common group we see in organizations is the group "all". This group contains all (active) employees with an account in the organization. This means that with one single Group you will be able to reach everyone. But what is a good structure to follow when trying to move down from there?
Setting up a good Google Group structure
Here are the guidelines that we recommend when setting up your Google Groups:
Besides the top-level group that contains all (active) employees, we recommend moving towards a structure that contains all (geographic) locations. This could be narrowed down to multiple levels. Continent - Country - Region - City - Location.
On the other hand, you might also want to add groups that are focused on functional elements, the easiest differentiator here is Department.
As a final step, we recommend setting up the geographic departmental groups (Geography + Department), this leads to a structure that makes it easy to reach very specific audiences. To still ensure that this can be managed properly, we recommend making use of the "nested groups" principle.
Screen Shot 2020-04-28 at 10.27.26
On the top we can see the distinction between geographic locations, and on the left, we see the departments. At each beginning of the table, you can see that there is an overlapping Group that combines them all. Setting it up this way means that every user in your organization will be part of at least one group, but likely is part of multiple groups.
The top-level in the hierarchy is the "ALL" group, below this group there are location groups, for example, "UK All", below that there are specific department groups for each market, for example, UK Marketing).
Screen Shot 2020-04-28 at 10.28.44
All employees should be a member of ONE of the local department groups. The department group is then a member of the group above (nested group).
If an employee has multiple roles (like marketing and sales), or responsibilities in more than one market, they can in those cases, be a part of multiple department groups.
Screen Shot 2020-04-28 at 10.29.55
The department groups are also organized into department "ALL"-groups. This means that if you, for example, want to reach everyone in IT in all markets you can use the group "IT All", which will reach all IT departments at the organization.

Was this an Iron Furnace?
Yes, it was. Welcome to archaeological mystery! The author is William D. Conner, avocational archaeologist of Columbus, Ohio. My archaeological odyssey begins August, 1963, as I pose (middle) with amateur archaeologist Arlington H. Mallery, and a neighborhood youngster. We sit in the remains of the bowl of the Overly furnace near the village of Austin, Ross County, Ohio. This furnace and others like it in South Central Ohio, excavated _PHONE_ by amateur investigators, represent an Old World technology 2,000 years old. How did it come to exist in Ohio?

Iron Age America before Columbus / William D. Conner
'Crushing' Evidence of Antiquity
Centuries before history began, someone left behind furnaces of ancient Old World Iron Age design buried deep inside "Indian mounds," hillsides and the banks of creeks in and around the land that would become Ross County, Ohio. Prehistoric Iron Age people from the Old World built the furnaces to smelt bog iron ore into wrought iron, the metal blacksmiths shaped into tools and weapons. I will provide conclusive proof that all attempts to fit Ohio's pit iron furnaces into the 18th century -- before American settlers claimed the land -- are unworkable. Instead, evidence indicates that these furnaces were constructed and used about a thousand years ago.
I was a teenage boy at Chillicothe High in Ross County when first I met Arlington H. Mallery in 1949. Scorned by professional archaeologists, Mallery, a bridge-building engineer, knew Iron Age furnaces when he found them, even if they occurred in Ohio, where they were not supposed to exist. He dug up several furnaces of ancient design along Ross County's Deer Creek in 1949-50.
I have developed compelling evidence these furnaces are in fact prehistoric and this new evidence will be uncovered in my new book, Iron Age America Before Columbus.

Description Konstantin Preißer 2013-10-28 15:34:56 UTC
See thread on users list [1]:
Tomcat's current implementation of RemoteEndpoint.Async#sendText(String, SendHandler) can cause StackOverflowErrors (and seems to contradict Oracle's JavaDoc).
In Tomcat, Async#sendText(...) seems to implemented so that when it could send all of the data immediately, then it directly calls SendHandler#onResult(...); whereas when it couldn't send the data immediately, the SendHandler will be called from another thread.
Oracle's javadoc for RemoteEndpoint.Async says:
"The completion handlers for the asynchronous methods are always called with a different thread from that which initiated the send."
Now, imagine the case that you want to send 10000 very small text messages to a client (very unlikely, but possibly could happen). With synchronous I/O (RemoteEndpoint.Basic), you would do this in this way:
 RemoteEndpoint.Basic basic = session.getBasicRemote();
 basic.sendText("Hi, Count: " + i);
In this case, there is no problem.
Now imagine you want to do this asynchronously (using a Callback to be informed when sending is completed), then you could do it this way (e.g. put the following code in onOpen() method of Tomcat's EchoEndpoint example):
 final AtomicInteger aint = new AtomicInteger();
 final RemoteEndpoint.Async async = session.getAsyncRemote();
 SendHandler handler = new SendHandler() {
 public void onResult(SendResult result) {
 int nextVal = aint.incrementAndGet();
 if (nextVal < 10000) {
 async.sendText("Hi, Count: " + nextVal, this);
 async.sendText("Hi, Count: " + aint.get(), handler);
The problem here is that because the messages are very short, Tomcat will be able to send them immediately, calling the SendHandler#onResult() directly from Async.sendText(), which will eventually cause a StackOverflowError.
I think if SendHandler#onResult() was always called from a different thread than the one which calls Async.send... (like the Javadoc says), then although the performance would probably be worse, StackOverflowErrors shouldn't occur.

"Glass ceilings" and "stone floors" have become common descriptors in discussions of women's career trajectories. Writing in 2016, Maddrell et al. note that while there has been positive action in gender equality in the academic workplace geography should not assume it has 'tackled the "gender problem"'. While the number of women in professorial roles has increased from 4% in 1978 to 21% in 2012/13, as they note 'respondents were acutely aware of key career transition points, and both enablers and barriers to their progression.'
Accompanying the growing number of events to support early career researchers the Gender and Feminist Geographies Research Group (GFGRG) and the Social and Cultural Geography Research Group (SCGRG) are organising an event targeted at geographers at professorial-level who are facing a series of issues and questions around the next steps in their career, perhaps including but not limited to:
- Reflecting on the different understandings of leadership
- How to manage and negotiate new research directions/ changes in research direction
- Decisions around the scale of research: to develop and manage a large research team or not?
- 'Real-life' accounts of university level administrative roles
- Evolving seniority in teaching roles
We are planning to hold the day long event at the RGS (Lowther Room) on June 8th, 2018 in London to discuss these and other issues. At this stage we invite expressions of interest that note up to five issues that potential attendees might find it valuable to address.

What is the average cost of landscaping?
Quick Answer
As of 2015, the average cost of landscaping is roughly $2,900. The lowest amount is $1,100 and the highest amount is $9,000. Overall costs are often influenced by geographic location and the scope of the landscaping project. Costs are also influenced by whether the homeowner wants to include extra ornamentation.
Continue Reading
Full Answer
The average cost of landscaping is also influenced by whether the homeowner decides to handle a majority of the project on his own or instead consult with a landscape architect, designer or another landscape professional. The homeowner might also decide to hire a landscape surveyor to determine where his property ends and where his neighbor's begins.
Homeowners should also consider the long-term effects of their landscaping plans. For example, homeowners should think about whether the new landscaping features allow for proper draining, otherwise they may experience mold, mildew and water damage. Homeowners can also decide between synthetic grass and xeriscaping. Either option is a good way to save money in the future on labor and water usage.
Homeowners who include extra landscaping features such as ponds, misting systems and gazebos should include the cost of supplies and ongoing care with such additions. Extra costs can stem from continuing maintenance, de-icing in the winter and the initial cost of installation.

Short-term small groups are awesome.
They shouldn't be considered any less important than the longer term small groups that are typically talked about. Short-term small groups have their place in ministry and can accomplish things that are difficult for small groups that have a longer time committment.
Over the summer, I led a couple of short-term small groups. Even in the six weeks that each small group met, God used them to transform lives. The impact is observable today, weeks after the small groups completed.
There are several benefits short-term small groups can make happen.
Benefits of Short-Term Small Groups
The following are some of the benefits that a short-term small group Bible study can provide:
People More Likely to Commit
Many people do not want to make a long-term commitment if they do aren't certain it will benefit them. We know from experience how important it is to be a part of a small group. But there are many who do not have that experience. Having a short-term option encourages participation from those who are reluctant to make a longer-term commitment.
Enticing Outside the Church Family
Many short-term small groups are focused on a specific topic. Some of the topics have appeal to people outside the church. The topics of finances, overwhelm, and health are a few examples of this. Advertising to people outside the church could result in participation from unchurched, unsaved people who are far from God.
Can Lead to Participation in Long-Term Small Groups
Once a people experience small group, they are more willing to sign up and participate in a longer-term small group. You, as the leader, can encourage this. As you get closer to the end of the short-term small group:
- Make sure each member knows how to sign up for a small group
- Point out some of the benefits they are receiving in the current group and let them know those benefits can continue by signing up for a longer-term group
- Ask if they have any questions about small groups. I even went as far as to have a couple of small group leaders come to one of my meetings to do a question-and-answer session with my group members.
Supports Small Group Leader Training
Just like there are some people who are reluctant to make long-term commitments to a small group, there are potential leaders who may be reluctant as well. Short-term small groups are a great training ground for new small group leaders. The initial commitment is not long-term so those reluctant are more likely to give it a try. Also, if the short-term group is using a Bible study where the leader materials are already prepared and easy-to-use, the new leader is less likely to overwhelmed.

What decides trackable score?
Trackables are the foundation of the AR experience using Vuforia. It is paramount to understand and create a suitable trackable for the experience to be robust and useful. The score attributed to the trackable in the target manager is our indication of how robust the target image is going to perform, but what decides that score?
Best way of understanding this, is by understanding how Vuforia tracks the images. The idea is simple, it looks for position of contrasting edges in clusters all around the image. Those edges are tracked, and based on the map of positions that are stored in the dataset, Vuforia can tell the relative position of the trackable in the real world and accordingly render the 3D content on top of it. This particularly means that tracking the image is not a function of its color or what really is in it, as much as how many contrasting edges are there in the image, and how well they are distributed on the image.
To better understand this, we can look on the current edges that are recognizable in the image we have just uploaded. To do that, simply click on the Show Features link on the top left of the webpage. The following image shows features in image target stones:
Once the Show Features link has been clicked, the image target manager layers over the target image an overlay of where it detects a recognizable edge that it can track in a Vuforia image target. Notice that it is only tracking the dark edges between the Stones and nothing else in the image. It is even tracking only the high contrast edges between the Stones, while ignoring some of the lighter ones.
Also notice that the number of edges found in the image is large, and evenly distributed all around the image. This is a great factor in what made this image great for tracking.
To contrast this image's result, let's try an image that will yield a 1-star score when tried on the target manager. The following image shows landscape image added to target image:
Before adding this image, intuitively we might think that this image is suitable for tracking. It certainly has a lot of details of a wide-angle landscape. But this image yielded a shocking 1-star result when added to the Target Manager.
The main reason for the low score for this image is the fact that the entire image is a shade of green. This greatly diminishes contrasting edges in the image.
If we are to click on the Show Features link on the top, we will be able to see what the target manager detected from the image. The following image shows features in the mountain landscape image:
Immediately, we notice the considerably lower number of features detected in the image compared to the stones one. It only detected the edges created by the shadows of the objects in the image, which is clearly not enough to award it any score above 1 star.
To help us get a higher score, we must understand what are the features that the target manager is looking for. We do know now that the main thing that the target manager is looking for in an image is edges, but what kind of edges specifically? To understand that, we need the definition of features.
A feature is a sharp and spiked detail in the image, like the corner of an edge. Features must be very contrasting to be found and it has to be distributed evenly across the image and in a random manner. The following image shows shapes and features recognized in them:
In the shapes illustrated above, we can see the yellow crosses representation of the features recognizable in the shape. The representation is as follows:
- Shape 1: It is a perfect circle without any corners at all, and such no features are recognizable in it.
- Shape 2: It has an edge to the left with two recognizable corners. That yields two features recognizable in the shape.
- Shape 3: It is a square with four edges and four corners. This yields four recognizable features in the shape.
This means that any curved object yields little to none features at all. Primarily, humans and animals make very poor trackables due to their curved nature.
Thus in this article, we learned about how to track an image and which features are recognizable in an image.

What Does Wine Sound Like? Italian Engineers Create Audio Profiles for Vintages
Ever wondered what your favorite wine would sound like? Some sound engineers in Italy set out to create auditory profiles for their country's best vintages. They created the sound for each wine on a computer and when they insert a probe into the wine, it will make music depending on how the wine is moved around in the glass. The project is still in the early development stages, but they hope to one day offer it to wine producers and restaurants. Inside Edition Digital's Mara Montalbano has more.

Rising food prices and household welfare
Working Paper 2011-200
Food price inflation in Brazil in the twelve months to June 2008 was 18 percent, while overall inflation was 5.3 percent. This paper uses spatially disaggregated monthly data on consumer prices and two different household surveys to estimate the welfare consequences of these food price increases, and their distribution across households. Because Brazil is a large food producer, with a predominantly wage-earning agricultural labor force, our estimates include general equilibrium effects on market and transfer incomes, as well as the standard estimates of changes in consumer surplus. While the expenditure (or consumer surplus) effects were large, negative and markedly regressive everywhere, the market income effect was positive and progressive, particularly in rural areas. Because of this effect on the rural poor, and of the partial protection afforded by increases in two large social assistance benefits, the overall impact of higher food prices in Brazil was U-shaped, with the middle-income groups suffering larger proportional losses than the very poor. Nevertheless, since Brazil is 80 percent urban, higher food prices still led to a greater incidence and depth of poverty at the national level.

What Tennessee Drivers Should Know About the Implied Consent Law
Tennessee drivers can benefit from understanding their rights and the penalties that they may face under the state's implied consent laws.
Most people in Nashville are aware that they have the option of refusing chemical testing if they are suspected of driving under the influence. However, declining this testing is a violation of the Implied Consent law in Tennessee. When deciding whether to agree to chemical testing, drivers may misunderstand this law or the consequences of a violation. It's important for drivers to be familiar with implied consent so that they can better understand their options if they are accused of DUI.
Mandatory Associated Penalties for Violation of the Implied Consent Law
Like a drunk driving conviction, an implied consent violation can result in driver's license suspension. According to the Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security, the mandatory suspension periods are as follows:
 - A first-time offense results in a one-year license suspension period.
 - A second-time offense is punishable with a license suspension period of two years.
 - A violation that occurs after a crash that causes injury is also sanctioned with two years of license suspension.
 - A violation that occurs after a fatal accident can result in five years of license suspension.
Drivers should note that refusing to take a chemical test is a civil rather than criminal offense. Therefore, drivers cannot be punished with jail time for implied consent violations. However, drivers may be charged with DUI in addition to these violations, and a DUI conviction may lead to incarceration.
Role in DUI cases
Many drivers decline to take chemical tests due to concerns that a test will provide evidence that supports a DUI charge. However, drivers should understand that refusal to take a test may also be used as evidence in a DUI case. Therefore, declining a field sobriety test does not guarantee that a driver will avoid a DUI conviction.
'No Refusal' laws
Many drivers who are familiar with Tennessee's implied consent law may be confused about their rights during "No Refusal" DUI campaigns. The TDSHS explains that during these campaigns, law enforcement authorities can more easily obtain warrants giving them the right to take blood samples from suspected drunk drivers. Such warrants override a driver's right to refuse blood testing.
WMC Action News notes that state law also allows forcible blood draws when a warrant is obtained and a driver still refuses to consent to testing. In the past, such forcible draws were only permitted in extreme cases, such as fatal accidents in which drivers were accused of vehicular homicide. Now, these blood draws are allowed whenever authorities have secured a warrant.
Seeking legal help
The confusion that many people have regarding implied consent laws helps show why legal advice can be beneficial. Immediately after a DUI arrest, an attorney may be able to help an accused driver understand his or her rights and options. An attorney also may be able to help a person challenge DUI charges and any related evidence, from field sobriety test results to chemical test refusal.
Frequently Asked Questions About Implied Consent
What is implied consent?
When a person applies for a driver's license in Tennessee, he or she gives "consent" to be tested for impairment. This "consent" is not made expressly by direct communication; rather, the consent is made implicitly. Stated another way, by applying for a driver's license, a person provides unspoken consent to be tested for impairment.
Is refusing to submit to a sobriety test your right by law?
Absolutely. You can refuse to submit to a breath test or blood draw. But if you do, your driver's license will be automatically suspended. That doesn't mean you won't be tested. As stated above, the police can obtain a warrant and forcibly draw blood.
What constitutes an equivocal or unequivocal refusal?
The word "equivocal" refers to a statement that has several meanings or an indeterminate meaning. In the context of blood alcohol testing, what types of responses could be considered equivocal? Hemming and hawing repeatedly when you are asked to submit to testing could be interpreted as an equivocal refusal. Likewise, making sport of the officer or joking about being tested could also be equivocal. On the other hand, explicitly saying "no" when asked to submit to testing is an "unequivocal" refusal.
What happens if I refuse a breathalyzer test?
Your driver's license will be automatically suspended for one year or longer. It may be possible to successfully appeal the suspension in a civil hearing, but positive results will depend on the specific circumstances of your case.
Is it better to refuse a breathalyzer test?
The answer depends on your specific situation. You have the right to consult with an attorney before consenting to a blood alcohol test, so you may want to take advantage of this right by speaking with a lawyer who is familiar with the implied consent laws of Tennessee.

Solving Connection timed out Error The Isle Evrima Dedicated Server
This post is going to be in a collection of posts dedicated in resolving common issues with setting up a dedicated server for the Isle Evrima. This one is the most common I see, so lets talk about what it is, and why it's showing up. IF you are unable to connect, but others are see "Your router doesn't have Hairpinning enabled." Below. This is the most common issue.
The biggest reason for this error comes from users attempting to connect to a server running on the same computer or the same local network. Lets explain why. If you are running your own server, you need to know the details of what is happening in your own network.
The client server architecture
For a server/client connection to work(the client being the game itself), a server has to bind a an ip address. The isle server binds to the local network address, for example "192.168.1.100". This local address is tied to a computer/server. Everyone with an internet connection has this "LAN" with a collection of IP addresses that are typically in the same format, but can be different. In a Local network we can easily connect between devices because everyone has a unique IP and there is no firewall. BUT, the Isle dedicated server is meant to be ran publicly with outside access. Others can't use our LAN ip address, so our server advertises its "public" ip address to the server list.
- When someone sees your server, They attempt to connect to the public ip address advertised by your server, which is sent out over yourservers Query port(typically 7778)
- The client attempts to connect via your Game Server Port(typically 7777), which has the public IP address, and manages what goes "inside" to the local area network, and where it goes.
- The router checks the incoming connections port to see if it has any forwarding rules, and if it does, it sends the connection to the ip address you have forwarded (your isle server)
Back to the problem
As you can see in the error message, the users client failed to connect. We see the IP address and the port. What could this mean? Well our game client could not connect. But notice this is your networks public ip address that is being advertised by your server, not the private address that you need to use within your local network. So that leads us to 3 possible issues you are having.
Your router doesn't have Hairpinning enabled.
You're game client is grabbing the public IP address, but you need to connect to a device in the local are network (your own computer or another inside your home). In this case, most modern routers have something called "Hairpinning" enabled, but some don't, and in that case, you won't be able to do this. The resolution here is to run the server in a place other than your local network, enable hairpinning on your router, or buy a router that supports it. You can also try to use a VPN on your game computer, and then try to connect, so that you go out, and then back inside your network, using your public IP. Other than that, there is no way to direct 1 IP to another on windows.
"NAT hairpinning, also known as NAT loopback or NAT reflection, is a feature in many consumer routers where a machine on the LAN is able to access another machine on the LAN via the external IP address of the LAN/router".
You are forwarding your Query port, but not the game port.
In this case, your server is being listed, but the client can't connect because the actual game server port is blocked. Your resolution here is checking _URL_ with port "7777" If it failed, the port is blocked at either your router, or computer/server firewall. If this fails, please don't spam dedicated server hosting communities with issues involving port forwarding. It over shadows people with real issues, and can usually be resolved with a few google searches.
The Server has an internal issue that caused the game thread to fail.
This can be identified by red text within the console. This is the least likely issue, but looks for an error indicating that the game server listen port (usually 7777) failed to find to an interface. In this case, something on the computer your server is running on is currently using that port. This can be identified by viewing the "resource monitor" in windows, and checking the tcp bind section to see if a program is using port 7777/7778. If it is, stop it and try again.
Anyways, I'll be linking this back to those that have issues.


Quadratic integer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In number theory, quadratic integers are a generalization of the rational integers to quadratic fields. These are algebraic integers of the degree 2. Important examples include the Gaussian integers and the Eisenstein integers. Though they have been studied for more than a hundred years, many open problems remain.
Quadratic integers are solutions of equations of the form:
x2 + Bx + C = 0
for integers B and C. Such solutions have the form a + ω b, where a, b are integers, and where ω is defined by:
\omega =
\sqrt{D} & \mbox{if }D \equiv 2, 3 \pmod{4} \\
{{1 + \sqrt{D}} \over 2} & \mbox{if }D \equiv 1 \pmod{4}
(D is a square-free integer. Note that the case D \equiv 0\pmod{4} is impossible, since it would imply that D is divisible by 4, a perfect square, which contradicts the fact that D is square-free.).
This characterization was first given by Richard Dedekind in 1871.[1][2]
The set of all quadratic integers is not closed even under addition. But for any fixed D the set of corresponding quadratic integers forms a ring, and it is these quadratic integer rings which are usually studied. Medieval Indian mathematicians had already discovered a multiplication of quadratic integers of the same D, which allows one to solve some cases of Pell's equation. The study of quadratic integers admits an algebraic version: the study of quadratic forms with integer coefficients.
Quadratic integer rings[edit]
Fixing a square-free integer D, the quadratic integer ring Z[ω] = { a + ω b : a, bZ} is a subring of the quadratic field \mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{D}). Moreover, Z[ω] is the integral closure of Z in \mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{D}). In other words, it is the ring of integers \mathcal{O}_{\mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{D})} of Q(D) and thus a Dedekind domain. The quadratic integer rings usually form the first class of examples on which one can build theories, inaccessible in the general case, for example the Kronecker–Weber theorem in class field theory, see below.
Examples of complex quadratic integer rings[edit]
Gaussian integers
Eisenstein primes
For D < 0, ω is a complex (imaginary or otherwise non-real) number. Therefore, it is natural to treat a quadratic integer ring as a set of algebraic complex numbers.
Both rings mentioned above are rings of integers of cyclotomic fields Q4) and Q3) correspondingly. In contrast, Z[−3] is not even a Dedekind domain.
Examples of real quadratic integer rings[edit]
For D > 0, ω is a positive irrational and the corresponding quadratic integer ring is a set of algebraic real numbers. Pell's equation X2DY2 = 1, a case of Diophantine equations, naturally leads to these rings for D ≡ 2, 3 (mod 4) . Algebraic study of real quadratic integer rings involves determining of the invertible elements group.
Powers of the golden ratio
 - For D = 5, ω is the golden ratio. A non-negative real number belongs to the ring Z[(1+5)/2] if and only if it can be encoded in golden ratio base with finite number of 1's. This ring was studied by Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet. Its invertible elements have the form ±ωn, where n is an arbitrary integer. This ring also arises from studying 5-fold rotational symmetry on Euclidean plane, for example, Penrose tilings.[4]
 - Indian mathematician Brahmagupta treated the equation X261Y2 = 1, where the corresponding ring is Z[61]. Some results were presented to European community by Pierre Fermat in 1657.
Class number[edit]
Equipped with the norm
N(a + b\sqrt{D}) = a^2 - Db^2,
\mathcal{O}_{\mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{D})} is an Euclidean domain (and thus a unique factorization domain, UFD) when D = −1, −2, −3, −7, −11.[5] On the other hand, it turned out that Z[−5] is not a UFD because, for example, 6 has two distinct factorizations into irreducibles:
6 = 2(3) = (1 + \sqrt{-5}) (1 - \sqrt{-5}).
(In fact, Z[−5] has class number 2.[6]) The failure of the unique factorization led Ernst Kummer and Dedekind to develop a theory that would enlarge the set of "prime numbers"; the result was the introduction of the notion of ideal, and the definition of what is now called a Dedekind domain: All the ring of integers of number fields are Dedekind domains, and the ideals of a Dedekind domain have the property of unique factorization into products of prime ideals.
Being a Dedekind domain, a quadratic integer ring is a UFD if and only if it is a principal ideal domain (i.e., its class number is one). However, there are quadratic integer rings that are principal ideal domains but not Euclidean domains. For example, Q[−19] has class number 1 but its ring of integers is not Euclidean.[6] There are effective methods to compute ideal class groups of quadratic integer rings, but many theoretical questions about their structure are still open after a hundred years.[when?]

Introducing the EdApp Discussions and Assignments Feature
Introducing the EdApp Discussions and Assignments Feature
At EdApp, we are constantly evolving to inspire and drive growth in the L&D space, making learning more accessible, engaging, and effective. After the announcement of our Playlists feature, we are excited to follow up with Discussions and Assignments. This innovative new feature has been introduced as a boost to our social learning elements. To ensure the success of adult learning, this feature delivers instant coaching and mentoring opportunities to learners by providing the closest simulation that we have to face-to-face, instructor-led sessions.
Read on to discover how this feature will enhance your learning initiatives and experience its full capabilities.
Why was it developed?
The Discussions and Assignments feature was designed to increase the amount of social interaction to ensure the success of adult learning. This exciting addition enables learners to collaborate with each other in a forum-like discussion, strengthening the power of peer learning. But what is really exciting is this feature forces reflection and applied knowledge from your learners.
The feature also facilitates coaching and mentoring throughout the process, giving you the opportunity to comment and lead the discussion when necessary along with providing real-time feedback. Nobody knows your company's products or processes better than your existing workers, so leveraging that expertise to reinforce vital content makes a great deal of sense. Learners will be more engaged when they can relate to both the lesson and the teacher, resulting in even more effective learning outcomes.
Enhancing EdApp's existing social learning element, the Discussions and Assignments feature includes conversation threads that can be leveraged to analyse specific concepts and topics provided by you. Having these discussions provides a more dynamic and interactive learning experience, where employees can learn additional information, resulting in a more in-depth understanding of the content provided.
For example, a course provided to retail employees on a new line or product can be discussed by colleagues to create a holistic understanding of the features of the product, enabling employees to be able to effectively sell to new and existing customers. Coaches can step in, highlighting key responses to provide insight for reinforcing the most important details of the new product. This forum enables instantaneous interaction with your team, all from within the EdApp platform.
What is digital learning?
Beyond the use of Discussions, Assignments provide an option in which learners submit responses directly to you, which can then be easily reviewed and graded. Submissions can be made through boxes of free text, designed to task learners with submitting a more in-depth and personal response. This structure ensures that the progress and knowledge of employees is tracked, meaning that you have the opportunity to fill possible gaps in learning if any are identified.
The EdApp team built this feature as a way to facilitate the growth of essential knowledge amongst employees through increased engagement and interactivity with learning material.
What does it change?
Within the EdApp platform, learners can collaborate to spotlight important pieces of information about specific topics. This means that there is no need to host forums on external platforms, and it also provides you with continued access to the conversations and progress reports, keeping it organised. The feature also offers a new LMS screen for learners, which makes it easy to switch between courses and topics.
What do learners see?
If a learner is completing a Discussions and Assignments lesson, they will have access to a wealth of knowledge provided by peers. Topics can be discussed in a conversation-like forum to express areas which may require extra clarification to master important bits of information.
When an Assignment is set for completion, the learner will be provided with an abundance of free space to write their response, which will later be reviewed by yourself. After the learner's submission has been made, they will see 1 of 4 options: No submission, submitted, try again or pass. From here, they will then receive your feedback, highlighting areas of strength or potential room for improvement.
On top of participating in conversations, learners also have the ability to keep track of certain Discussion threads so they do not miss out on any important updates. This "watching" feature sends push notifications directly to their device when a new comment is added to the comment of interest.
What do you see?
As an admin, you have continued access to social reports and tools, where you can review the progression and engagement of your learners, enabling a more smooth experience in managing your cohort. When assessing your Assignments tasks, ensure that you leave a comment on the assignment status. From there, you can either make this response hidden or public by the simple switch of a toggle.
You also have the option to make Assignments tasks mandatory along with the ability to set up completion requirements through peer learning. To make things easier, completed Assignments are counted in the analytics the same way that lessons are.
New image and video enhancement
To enhance this peer learning feature even further, we have also added the ability for learners to submit an image or video as a submission, giving you (and your learners) the freedom to choose the medium for their response. Available in both the Discussions and Assignments space, learners can submit an image or record a video and upload it as a submission straight from their smartphones. The EdApp platform can accommodate most sizes and formats, but we recommend following our microlearning rhetoric by keeping video submissions to a couple of minutes long. This way, learners have the freedom to express their points in an open-ended format and viewers can easily absorb the information at hand without losing interest or focus.
Implementing visuals and especially video in your L&D strategy has proven benefits including higher interaction and retention rates, along with strengthening the connection between learners. When individuals can clearly see their peers' responses, it provides an even more dynamic and interactive learning experience. Ultimately, your audience can easily absorb additional information in a more effective way, resulting in a more in-depth understanding of the content provided.
We hope you enjoy our newest feature and continue to experience the success of your learning strategy!
To learn how to access the Discussions and Assignments feature and how to implement it into your next lesson, we have created a step-by-step guide. Find our comprehensive guide on Discussions and our guide on Assignments.
Stay tuned for more exciting announcements coming throughout the year and please reach out to us at for feedback and any more enhancements you would love to see.

In this context, a routine is one of the following:
Top-level (not nested) anonymous PL/SQL block
Standalone, packaged, or nested subprogram
Method of a SQL object type
When an autonomous routine is invoked, the main transaction is suspended. The autonomous transaction is fully independent of the main transaction: they share no locks, resources, or commit dependencies. The autonomous transaction does not affect the main transaction.
Changes made by an autonomous transaction become visible to other transactions when the autonomous transaction commits. They become visible to the main transaction when it resumes only if its isolation level is

You cannot apply this pragma to an entire package, but you can apply it to each subprogram in a package.
You cannot apply this pragma to an entire an object type, but you can apply it to each method of a SQL object type.

In the main transaction, rolling back to a savepoint located before the call to the autonomous subprogram does not roll back the autonomous transaction. Remember, autonomous transactions are fully independent of the main transaction.
If an autonomous transaction attempts to access a resource held by the main transaction (which cannot resume until the autonomous routine exits), a deadlock can occur. The database raises an exception in the autonomous transaction, which is rolled back if the exception goes unhandled.
If you try to exit an active autonomous transaction without committing or rolling back, the database raises an exception. If the exception goes unhandled, or if the transaction ends because of some other unhandled exception, the transaction is rolled back.
You cannot execute a

Refreshing registration keys on the coordination points for server-based fencing
Replacing keys on a coordination point (CP server) when the Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) cluster is online involves refreshing that coordination point's registrations. You can perform a planned refresh of registrations on a CP server without incurring application downtime on the VCS cluster. You must refresh registrations on a CP server if the CP server agent issues an alert on the loss of such registrations on the CP server database.
The following procedure describes how to refresh the coordination point registrations.
To refresh the registration keys on the coordination points for server-based fencing
 1. Ensure that the VCS cluster nodes and users have been added to the new CP server(s). Run the following commands:
 # cpsadm -s cp_server -a list_nodes
 # cpsadm -s cp_server -a list_users
 If the VCS cluster nodes are not present here, prepare the new CP server(s) for use by the VCS cluster.
 See the Veritas Cluster Server Installation Guide for instructions.
 2. Ensure that fencing is running on the cluster in customized mode using the coordination points mentioned in the /etc/vxfenmode file.
 If the /etc/vxfenmode.test file exists, ensure that the information in it and the /etc/vxfenmode file are the same. Otherwise, vxfenswap utility uses information listed in /etc/vxfenmode.test file.
 For example, enter the following command:
 # vxfenadm -d
 Fencing Protocol Version: 201
 Fencing Mode: CUSTOMIZED
 Cluster Members:
 * 0 (galaxy)
 1 (nebula)
 RFSM State Information:
 node 0 in state 8 (running)
 node 1 in state 8 (running)
 3. List the coordination points currently used by I/O fencing :
 # vxfenconfig -l
 4. Copy the /etc/vxfenmode file to the /etc/vxfenmode.test file.
 This ensures that the configuration details of both the files are the same.
 5. Run the vxfenswap utility from one of the nodes of the cluster.
 The vxfenswap utility requires a secure ssh connection to all the cluster nodes. Use -n to use rsh instead of default ssh.
 For example:
 # vxfenswap [-n]
 The command returns:
 VERITAS vxfenswap version
 The logfile generated for vxfenswap is
 Please Wait...
 VXFEN vxfenconfig NOTICE Driver will use customized fencing
 - mechanism cps
 Validation of coordination points change has succeeded on
 all nodes.
 You may commit the changes now.
 WARNING: This may cause the whole cluster to panic
 if a node leaves membership before the change is complete.
 6. You are then prompted to commit the change. Enter y for yes.
 The command returns a confirmation of successful coordination point replacement.
 7. Confirm the successful execution of the vxfenswap utility. If CP agent is configured, it should report ONLINE as it succeeds to find the registrations on coordination points. The registrations on the CP server and coordinator disks can be viewed using the cpsadm and vxfenadm utilities respectively.
 Note that a running online coordination point refreshment operation can be canceled at any time using the command:
 # vxfenswap -a cancel

WITH summer just around the corner, Grade 6 Burnie Primary pupil Levin Klinger is conscious of being sun smart.
His recent science experiment Too Hot to Handle focused on which clothing protected people best from harmful UV rays.
Levin was one of 400 students presenting more than 200 separate science projects in Burnie yesterday.
The UTAS Cradle Coast campus was a hive of activity, with students presenting their experiments as part of the 2012 Primary Industry Centre for Science Education (PICSE) Science Investigation Awards.
One of Levin's motivations for his project was the fact his grandfather had to have a melanoma removed.
"He was cured, but I want to know what I can do to stop this happening to me," Levin said.
Levin's experiment worked by placing UV reactive paper under six different types of fabric and placing the fabrics in the sun.
Levin then placed each of the papers in water, with the brightness of the paper indicating to what extent the UV pierced through the fabrics.
He found black fabrics performed better in the UV test than any of the white colours.
Before the experiment, Levin thought black fabrics would attract more heat and therefore more UV rays.
Levin said he would put the experiment into practice.
"I will be a lot more careful now, I will try to wear darker clothing if I'm out in the sun and wear long sleeves, along with putting on sunscreen more often," he said.
Students covered a range of experiments, from looking at reaction time, how long it takes mould to grow on bread, and if sports drinks made you run faster.

NSNotification objects encapsulate information so that it can be broadcast to other objects by an NSNotificationCenter object. An NSNotification object (referred to as a notification) contains a name, an object, and an optional dictionary. The name is a tag identifying the notification. The object is any object that the poster of the notification wants to send to observers of that notification (typically, it is the object that posted the notification). The dictionary stores other related objects, if any. NSNotification objects are immutable objects.
Basically - you are handed these objects when you receive a notification - the original poster of the notification can put objects into an NSDictionary, you can get this dictionary using the userInfo: method.

Science of Parenting: Help Children Cope with Anger
AMES, Iowa — Sometimes life is not fair — and that really can make a child mad. But adults can help children learn how to cope with their anger in positive ways. During February, family life specialists Donna Donald and Lori Hayungs offer tips for parents and teachers in the Science of Parenting blog from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
"Just like adults, children can get mad, stressed and frustrated. If children don't know how to cope with anger, stress and frustration in positive ways, it can build up over time. Then parents, teachers and the children themselves will have problems," Donald said.
"This month we'll share ideas on how adults can help children learn how to handle anger effectively," Hayungs added. "We'll also talk about when it may be appropriate to seek professional help for a child with anger issues."
Through the Science of Parenting, _URL_, ISU Extension and Outreach specialists share and discuss research-based information and resources to help parents rear their children. Parents can join in the conversation and share thoughts and experiences, as well as how they handle parenting responsibilities.
