code will stop and control is given to you. Then we want to run in debug mode. If I set no break points, execution simply runs is normal. What's at a break point in temperature and Celsius text. So the two main controls you want to keep in mind our step over and step into would step over. You skip to the next line would step into. You're saying you want to go inside the method that is being executed. You're interested in what's going on inside. I noticed that when going inside a function, I could see what got me there in the call stack. Notice that when stepping in the code, you can see the variables. See, this one is undefined, but once I take a step, it has a value. We can also evaluate an expression in the context of the point we're in. We can excess variables, we can call methods, and we can execute statements. Note that I'm using the mountain buttons to make this clearer. In real life, we would always prefer using shortcuts for all these operations as we will use that the bugger every day. We want to be efficient doing it. So I would start to the bugger with Control D and then use have seven to step into the code and F eight to step over it. Let's set another break point and run to the bugger I would use. Command options are to continue the execution until the next break point. You can do all F eight to evaluate an expression to help you remember these shortcuts. You can always hover the button on intelligence to get a hint of what the shortcut is. So let's try similar techniques and visual studio code so that you can see that what you learned is mostly independent from the code editor you're using. Let's start by configuring the debunker for no jazz visual studio code ships with the no GST bugger preinstalled. So enabling it is a simple is going to the debug panel and clicking the gear icon. This creates a new file launched out Jason with the required configuration. Now let's set some break points. As you can see, this is very similar to intelligent. Go back to the debug panel and launched to the bugger we stopped in the first break point. And as you can see, we have access to the variables we have access to the coal Steck. Also, we have a break point section where we can total two break points. Additionally, we have a controls bar it has controls for. Continue step over, step into step out of the method. Colt, restart and stop. Let's try it out and step over and continue to the next break point. Variables and expressions can also be evaluated and watched in the watch section, and they will update as the code gets executed. In this lesson, you learn how to use to the bugger instead of print to debug your code. Specifically, you learn to set break points, step into code and step over lines of code. Also continue executing until the next break point. Finally, you learn to evaluate expressions in the context of the line you are in. Besides these examples there other tools your code editor might provide so you can debug your code as a course project. You can explore the other ways your code editor supports and share one with the community. 8. Aliases and Functions: We've talked a lot about speeding up your programming by saving keystrokes in her code editor. One other place where you might find yourself a lot in is the command line. Often a lot of commands you need to write are long and hard to remember. This is where aliases come in. Aliases are abbreviations you can create to run long commands. There are time consuming to type and hard to remember to do something. We're powerful. You can also use functions. This class example is a very specific for Mac. It is outside the scope of this video to apply these techniques in other operating systems, like windows. But you can do similar things and windows if you look for them. The goal is more to show you how you can use this technique and why it is useful. But try this out. Go into your terminal. I navigate a lot through the terminal, and one thing I find myself doing is going up with directory with the change of that right to recommend, like so I wish this was shorter. So let's create an alias for that by typing alias not not equals CD not dot Change that referee to documents. Now I can do the thought and I will move up one directory. Let's also end an alias for clear alias C equals clear and let's clear this, So just type c enter and this clears everything. I also like to open files in the sublime text editor, but it is quite annoying to always have to type open minus a sublime text so we can create an A list for that as well. Alias Sublime equals open minus a sublime text. Now we can do sublime in the name of the file and this opens the file in sublime. But as I mentioned before, these are temporary aliases that disappear once you close the tap, they exist on Lee for this session. So if I open a new tab, they will not work there. In order to persist aliases, you have to save them in configuration file. You're probably using bash, which is the full shell for my CO s. So you would go to the file dot Bashar See, I personally use dizzy show. This is a UNIX shell that is built on top of bash with additional features. I recommend you install dizzy show as well as Oh my seashell, which is an open source, community driven framework for managing your Z shell configuration. And I turn to which is a better terminal. I will have a link to this document in the class material that will tell you how to install these tools if you choose to. But anyway, you don't need this to create aliases. The only difference here is that the configuration file for Bash and seashell are different. So for bash you open. Like I said before dot Boesch RC And for seashell, you open the file dot z s h r c. As you can see, we already have a lot of aliases and the seashell configuration file. I have some forget, for example, which I use a lot. I like this one a lot. Get status which is quite useful. Let's have the ones we created before Alias for CD Alias for opening sublime and then a lease for clearing. Now, if I go to the terminal, this will not work. This is because the configuration is loaded Onley in the beginning. So if we open a new tab, it will work in that one. We can also have functions which could be a lot more powerful than aliases. For example, I have a server function to start a server. It takes the port where the server should run on as an optional argument. You can see that this saves me a lot of writing and memorizing. So if I go into the terminal, I can run server in the Port 3004. Now let's go for a more complex scenario. So you really understand the power of functions. Sometimes I'm starting a server, and it fails because the port is already in use. So we open a new tab and do server 3004 again. It fails with the dress already in use now, I would want to find out which process is running on that port. There is a command to this else. Off stands for list open files. You can list all the network connections open by using the minus the flag. Now you can list the processes which are listening on a particular port, but it was in colon. In typing the port number from the result, I can take the process I d and kill the process running on that port would kill minus nine. Process i. D. This is a lot of work for something I do so often we can create a function for this. Let's head one I found online. This function will take the port is an argument and kill the process running on that port. We're finding the process I d running on the port with else off. We're piping the output of this and searching it. Then with ex hearts, it converts input from standard input into arguments to the kill minus nine. Command note that I did not create this function. You don't have to reinvent the wheel if you need a function for a purpose that is common enough, like killing a server running on a port. You can go for that, and odds are you'll find something that suits your needs. Now let's use our function. Kill Port 3004. Now we can run else off again, and we can confirm that there is no process running on Port 3004 and I can start the server again. Server 3004. Now that the address is no longer in use in this lesson, you learned how to create an persist, Avis is and functions to streamline your work in the terminal. If you're using Bash Creator aliases in dot Bashar see if you're using Z shell. Create your aliases in adult Zs. HRC. After creating your alias or function, don't forget you need to restart the session before you can try them out. As of course project, you can create your own alias or function and share the result. With your fellow students, you can add a brief description of how this saves you time. 9. Conclusion: In order to become a professional developer, you need to learn techniques such as the ones I talked to in this course. Never getting code needs to be fast. Programming needs to become efficient and you need to be great at debunking. Now you need to practice on your own in order to consolidate your learning. At first you will resist applying these techniques. The important thing is to be persistent and keep practising. Used these techniques

In property management, landlords regularly encounter issues handling partial rent payments. This scenario typically arises when tenants face financial constraints such as unemployment, unforeseen expenditures, or fluctuating incomes, making it difficult to fulfill their entire rental obligation as described in their lease agreements.
Life changes or economic uncertainties may give rise to these situations, necessitating a careful strategy that protects the landlord's financial interests while maintaining positive tenant relations.
For that reason, in light of the tenant's circumstances and in order to fulfill their financial responsibilities, landlords must handle this situation with tact and empathy.
Importance of Clear Rental Agreements
Clear rental agreements are vital for landlords and tenants, mainly when it comes to partial rent payments. Rent payment specifics, late fees, and the procedure for handling partial payments ought to be specified in these agreements. Policies regarding partial payments should be clear, encompassing criteria for exceptions, submission deadlines, and methods for submitting partial payments.
This clarity enables tenants to have clear guidelines and equips landlords with a transparent framework to comprehend actions to take in case of partial payments. Presenting such clarity in rental agreements is critical in avoiding misunderstandings or disputes and creating a positive rental experience for everyone involved.
Communication and Tenant Relations
Ensuring effective management of partial rent payments necessitates the maintenance of robust tenant-landlord relationships and proactive interaction. It is essential to educate tenants on the advantages of early communication, promote open communication, and provide multiple contact methods.
Transparency and efficiency can be enhanced by including a written note that elaborates on the payment amount and justification. This method can make managing partial payment situations easier while establishing trust and mutual respect.
Handling Partial Payments
Legal duties for both landlords and tenants must be thoroughly comprehended to manage partial payments efficiently. Fairness and precision in financial tracking are encouraged through the implementation of these consistent guidelines and thorough documentation. Exploring punishments and justifying the consequences of repeated partial payments promotes positive resolutions. This broad strategy aims to keep truthfulness and equality in the landlord-tenant relationship.
When encountering partial payments, it's critical to consider negotiating payment plans custom-made to the tenants' situations. This approach provides much-needed flexibility in resolving outstanding balances. Landlords may also contemplate temporary rent reductions as long as they are transparently discussed and structured to accommodate the tenants' financial constraints while maintaining a stable income for the landlord.
In fruitless discussions, exploring mediation or alternative dispute-resolution methods can help facilitate peaceful agreements. These approaches provide:
- Organized methods for resolving disagreements outside of formal legal routes.
- Prioritizing collaboration.
- Cultivating positive relationships between landlords and tenants, even during challenging financial times.
Each party can obtain a resolution that satisfies their needs and preserves positive relationships by working together to achieve fair agreements.
The foundation of a stable tenancy is ensuring that the tenants have a solid history of making timely payments. Thorough tenant screening, background checks, and tenants' alignment with lease requirements are all methods by which this can be accomplished.
Delivering workshops or ensuring transparent lease communication are additional useful approaches to educating tenants about monetary management. This can give them the resources they need to manage their finances effectively.
Additionally, the payment process can be streamlined, punctuality increased, and missed payments can be reduced through the implementation of automated payment reminders or systems. These actions aim to choose responsible tenants while empowering them to fulfill their rent obligations, cultivating a more stable tenancy, and minimizing partial payments.
To successfully deal with partial rent payments, landlords and tenants have to maintain a cooperative relationship. One can achieve solutions that are advantageous to all parties involved by placing emphasis on effective communication, legal awareness, and taking initiative. Negotiation, temporary rent adjustments, and alternative solutions to disagreements are all acceptable choices. Fostering a welcoming atmosphere, facilitating amicable resolutions, and increasing stability in property management can be accomplished by encouraging early communication, financial responsibility, and creative problem-solving.

aj}}^{2} k^{2} }} {\text{e}}^{{ - 2R_{\text{aj}} /\lambda_{j} (k)}}\,\sin (2kR_{\text{aj}} + a_{\text{aj}} (k))}. $$
From the phase of each sine wave [2kRaj + αaj(k)], the absorber–backscatterer distance Raj can be determined if the phase shift αaj(k) is known. The phase shift is obtained either from theoretical calculations or empirically from compounds characterized by crystallography with the specific absorber–backscatterer pair of atoms. The phase shift αaj(k) depends on both the absorber and the scatterer atoms. As one knows the absorbing atom in an EXAFS experiment, an estimation of the phase shift can be used in identifying the scattering atom.
The amplitude function contains the Debye–Waller factor and Nj, the number of backscatterers at Raj. These two parameters are highly correlated, which makes the determination of Nj difficult. The backscattering amplitude function fj(π, k) depends on the atomic number of the scattering atom, and scattering intensity increases with the electron density (i.e., atomic number) of the scattering atom. In principle, this can be used to identify the scattering atoms. In practice, however, the phase shift and backscattering amplitude function, both of which are dependent on the identity of the backscattering atom, can be used only to identify scattering atoms that are well separated by atomic number (Rehr and Albers 2000).
The EXAFS fit-quality is evaluated using two different parameters Φ and ε2.
$$ \Upphi = \sum\limits_{1}^{{N_{\text{T}} }} {\left( {{\frac{1}{{s_{\text{i}} }}}} \right)^{2} [\chi^{\text{expt}} (k_{\text{i}} ) - \chi^{\text{calc}} (k_{\text{i}} )]^{2} }, $$
where NT is the total number of data points collected, \( \chi^{\text{expt}} (k_{\text{i}} ) \) is the experimental EXAFS amplitude at ki, and \( \chi^{\text{calc}} (k_{\text{i}} ) \) is the theoretical EXAFS amplitude at ki. The normalization factor si is given by
$$ {\frac{1}{{s_{\text{i}} }}} = {\frac{{k_{\text{i}}^{3} }}{{\sum\nolimits_{j}^{{N_{\text{T}} }} {k_{\text{j}}^{3} \left| {\chi^{\text{expt}} (k_{\text{j}} )} \right|} }}}. $$
The ε2 error takes into account the number of variable parameters p in the fit and the number of independent data points Nind is given by
$$ \varepsilon^{2} = \left[ {{\frac{{N_{\text{ind}} }}{{N_{\text{ind}} - p}}}} \right]N_{\text{T}}^{ - 1} \Upphi, $$
which is estimated from the Nyquist sampling theorem,
$$ N_{\text{ind}} = {\frac{2\Updelta k\Updelta r}{\pi }}, $$
where ∆k is the k-range of the data and ∆r is the width of the Fourier-filtered peak in Å. ε2 provides a gauge of whether the addition of another shell to the fit is justified. A detailed description of error analysis is presented by Lytle et al. (1989).
The importance of the EXAFS technique to the biochemist or structural biologist depends directly on the fact that the EXAFS modulations contain information about the distance between the absorbing and backscattering atoms within a distance of about 5 Å, as well as the identity and number of the backscattering atoms. Essentially, EXAFS analysis is used to determine the radial distribution of atoms around a particular absorbing atom, thus providing a probe for the local structure in the vicinity of the absorbing atom; for example, the metal in the active site of an enzyme. These vector lengths (distances) can be determined to a precision of 0.02 Å and much more precisely than by conventional X-ray crystallography.
Advantages and limitations of XAS
We summarized the advantages and the limitations (Eisenberger and Brown 1979) of the XAS method as follows.
 1. (1)
 X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is element specific, so one can focus on one element without interference from other elements present in the sample. In a protein, which has more than one metal like cytochrome oxidase (Cu and Fe), or nitrogenase (Fe and Mo), it is possible to study the structural environment of each metal atom selectively. The element specificity and the fact that it is always possible to obtain an X-ray spectrum of an element also means that one 'sees' all of the metal of interest, which is present in the sample. This makes it imperative that one is sure of the biochemical homogeneity of the sample and, if there is more than one site for the same metal, to resolve the structural parameters of the different sites.
 2. (2)
 Another important advantage of XAS is that the metal of interest is never 'silent' with respect to X-ray absorption spectra. The system could be 'silent' with respect to EPR, optical, or other spectroscopic methods, but one can always probe the metal site structure by XAS.
 3. (3)
 X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is not limited by the state of the sample, because it is sensitive only to the local metal site structure. The sample can be prepared as a powder, a solution or, as is done most often, as a frozen solution for biological samples. It is not necessary to obtain single crystals of the material to examine the local structure of the metal. However, having oriented crystals such as membranes and single crystals significantly increases the structural information obtained from the XAS method. This will be discussed in a latter section.
 The more important aspect is that one can either trap intermediates in the enzymatic cycle or modify the site by the addition of inhibitors or substrate or generate other chemical modifications. Such samples can be made as frozen solutions, avoiding the problems of trying to obtain single crystals. The study by this technique of trapped intermediates and treated samples has yielded insights into the mechanism of the reaction involved, in several biological systems.
 4. (4)
 Damage to biological samples by X-rays is cause for serious concern for X-ray crystallography and XAS experiments. However, with the right precautions one can successfully perform these experiments leaving the materials largely intact. The most serious damage is produced by the reaction with free radicals and hydrated electrons that are produced in biological samples by X-rays. The diffusion of the free radicals and hydrated electrons can be minimized by the use of low temperatures. The use of a liquid He flow cryostat or liquid He cryostream, where the samples are at atmospheric pressure in a He gas atmosphere, has greatly reduced the risk of sample damage by X-rays. XAS experiments require a lower X-ray dose than X-ray crystallography, and radiation damage can be precisely monitored and controlled, thus allowing for data collection from an intact metal cluster (Yano et al. 2005b; Corbett et al. 2007).
 1. (1)
 It is also important to realize the intrinsic limitations of EXAFS, beyond those of a purely experimental nature. A frequent problem is the inability to distinguish between scattering atoms with little difference in atomic number (C, N, O or S, Cl, or Mn, Fe). Care must also be exercised when deciding between atoms that are apart in Z, as frequently, it is possible to obtain equally good fits using backscattering atoms which are very different in Z (e.g., Mn or Cl), but which are at different distances from the absorbing atom. This is more acute when dealing with Fourier peaks at greater distances. In bridged multinuclear centers, it is not always possible to unequivocally assign the Fourier peaks at >3 Å (Scott and Eidsness 1988).
 2. (2)
 Distances are usually the most reliably determined structural parameters from EXAFS. But the range of data that can be collected, often-times due to practical reasons like the presence of the K-edge of another metal, limits the resolution of distance determinations to between 0.1 and 0.2 Å. Also it is difficult to determine whether a Fourier peak should be fit to one distance with a relatively large disorder parameter or to two distances, each having a small disorder parameter. Careful statistical analysis, taking into consideration the degrees of freedom in the fits, should precede any such analysis. The resolution in the distance Δr can be estimated from the relation that ΔrΔk ~ 1 (see "Range-extended XAS").
 3. (3)
 Determination of coordination numbers or number of backscatterers is fraught with difficulties. The Debye–Waller factor is strongly correlated with the coordination number and one must have recourse to other information to narrow the range that is possible from curve-fitting analysis alone. It is useful to compare the spectra from the unknown complex to some known model complexes (assuming that there is

High Speed Research Car T-16
In November, 2000, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) began operating high speed research car T-16 to investigate methods for providing a safer and smoother ride for passenger and freight trains traveling at higher speeds. FRA's Office of Research and Development uses T-16 to study the dynamics of wheel-rail behavior, to investigate methods for improving track inspection, and to assess potential high speed rail corridors. T-16 also assists Amtrak, local and regional commuter authorities, and individual railroads in assessing their routes.
T-16 is a former Amtrak Metroliner passenger car which was refurbished and instrumented with advanced technology, with capabilities for measurement and data collection at speeds up to 160 mph. Measurement capabilities include track geometry, rail head profile, ride quality, and wheel-rail forces. T-16 can also be used as an instrumentation platform to collect data from sensors mounted on other cars in the train.
T-16 has the capability to process and display collected data in several formats. Monitors throughout the train can be configured to show the various displays. Exceptions are displayed in a list with specific details about each instance and on a GIS map to show their location in reference to other features. Raw data is streamed across a video strip chart that provides a graphical representation of measured parameters. The on-board system calculates and displays Track Quality Indices (TQI) based on track geometry data collected by the car. When requested by track inspectors onboard, data can be printed to an exception report or paper strip chart. Data can also be downloaded to removable media for offline viewing.

Having recently finished (again) The Lord of the Rings trilogy, I wondered what is the earliest known book / novel trilogy in literature? (Yes, I know J.R.R. Tolkien wrote LOTR not as a trilogy but as the first volume of a planned two-volume work, including LOTR and The Silmarillion but the two volume work was never completed and LOTR now stands on its own in what we refer to as a trilogy.)
According to both Wikipedia and Britannica, trilogy is used to describe
Britannica's trilogy entry goes on further to say (Wiki mentions this as well, but quoting Britannica here):
The term originally referred specifically to a group of three tragedies written by one author for competition. This trilogy constituted the traditional set of plays presented in Athens by a number of competitors at the 5th-century-BC drama festivals known as the Great Dionysia. One of the first authors to present such a trilogy was Aeschylus, whose Oresteia is the only surviving example from that time.
So we have there an example of what is thought to be the earliest drama / play in trilogy form.
The Wikipedia trilogy entry mentions the epic Mahabharata (attributed to Vyāsa). According to Wiki:
The Mahābhārata is the longest epic poem known and has been described as "the longest poem ever written."
with origins in the 8th or 9th century BCE. That might make it the earliest known trilogy of an epic poem. However, I am having difficulty finding a reference to the earliest known trilogy of books/novels.
Any literature students / professors / historians / enthusiasts (or librarians) out there who may know which trio of books / novels is the earliest known example in literature (and the author)?
EDIT: for the purpose of this question let's use the Wiki/Britannica definition of trilogy quoted above.

 I have voted to close this question as it is entirely dependent on its theoretical terms rather than the documentary record of the past. Additionally it doesn't pose a historical question in relation to the documentary record of the past; it poses a literary critical question in relation to past texts. As such I have also flagged for migration. It seems a great question which doesn't belong here. – Samuel Russell Nov 16 '18 at 6:16
 - I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it belongs the n Literature SE. – Spencer Nov 18 '18 at 16:08
 - _USER_ and Spencer - ok, Literature:SE may be better (didn't know there was a Literature:SE). I thought a literary historian may have a ready answer available. I'm not a member of Literature:SE so if this gets migrated there, hopefully someone can keep me informed of its progress. – Kerry L Nov 19 '18 at 15:14
The first and foremost example that comes to my mind is the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, written in the early XIV century.
This poem, a work of paramount importance for both Italian and World literature, is famously composed of three books, or cantiche:
 - Inferno
 - Purgatorio
 - Paradiso
Wikipedia has a category Literary trilogies. The oldest novels in the list seem to date from central Europe: Henryk Sienkiewicz's Trilogy (_PHONE_), Alois Jirásek's Mezi proudy (_PHONE_), and Jerzy Żuławski's Lunar Trilogy (_PHONE_). I have no idea whether this reflects a bias in Wikipedia contributors or is historically accurate. The oldest listed in English is John Galsworthy's Forsyte Saga (1906-21), which was published individually, then together as a trilogy, then later extended with more books. These examples may not correspond to your definition of a trilogy.
 - Thanks Stuart, +1... the category seems a little light though. It's certainly a good list to start with but I don't know how complete it is. Glad you found it! – Kerry L Nov 15 '18 at 18:07
Note that for novel sequences in general, "There is no useful, formal demarcation between novel sequences and multi-part novels."
A famous novel trilogy is Alexandre Dumas' story about D'Artagnan, Porthos, Athos and Aramis:
I won't pretend it is the oldest one, but it may well be the most read trilogy ever.
Robert Folkestone Williams wrote a trilogy of novels about William Shakespeare:
1838: The Youth of Shakespeare,
1839: Shakespeare and his Friends,
1844: Secret Passion.
At around the same time, Edgar Allen Poe wrote three short stories with C. Auguste Dupin, an amateur detective, as the main character:
1841: The Murders in the Rue Morgue,
1842: The Mystery of Marie Rogêt,
1844: The Purloined Letter.
These trilogies are both slightly earlier than Alexandre Dumas' Musketeers trilogy.
I know of three novels by Jules Verne that might or might not fit the definition of a trilogy.
Les Enfants du Capitaine Grant (The Children of Captain Grant) 1868, three volumes. Involves the search for the missing sea captain Grant.
Vingt Mille Lieues sous les mers (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea) 1870. 2 volumes. Captain Nemo and his submarine Nautilus.
L'Ille mysterieuse (The Mysterious Island) 1874. Three volumes. People are stranded on an island on the Pacific Ocean and have adventures. They meet characters from The Children of Captain Grant and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea though the chronologies of the three novels are inconsistent.
These three novels are called a trilogy by this source: _URL_
It is possible that opinions may vary about whether they should be considered a trilogy.
 - Of Jules Verne's novels, De la Terre à la Lune, Autour de la Lune, and Sans dessus dessous form a tighter trilogy, even though the third story was written twenty years after the second one. English titles are From the Earth to the Moon, Around the Moon, and The Purchase of the North Pole. – b_jonas Nov 24 '18 at 15:43

Farmers Receive No-Interest Loans To Help Overcome Pandemic Losses
WAMC, May 14, 2020
Several farms in western Massachusetts have been thrown a financial lifeline as they look to build back their business during the pandemic.
Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture announced this week that no-interest loans totaling $183,000 have made to 13 farms. Applications for additional loans from a revolving emergency fund will be taken starting June 1. WAMC's Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with CISA Executive Director Philip Korman.
Farms are considered — they need to be essential businesses in any pandemic or non-pandemic situation because our farms are growing the food that we can put on our tables and feed our families. What really did impact farms was other sectors of the economy that needed to shut down. So farms lost markets when it came to restaurants, when it came to institutions and colleges, and even our winter farmers markets closed down because they were inside spaces, and that was in February and we had not yet figured out how to do things safely when it came to purchasing food.
So how does the emergency fund help in this situation?
So the emergency farm fund which has been around now since the end of 2011 provides no interest loans to farms, and farms don't have to pay any part of it back for the first six months. So it's providing loans in conjunction with the Franklin County CDC, ranging from $5000 to $25,000. So, it's enabling farms to keep going even though they have bills to pay as they figure out the new markets, and as we start heading into the growing season in a serious way.
Will the opening of the farmers' markets and the farm stands, will that help?
It will certainly help a lot of farms when they are able to sell directly to their neighbors and a lot of farms are based on those markets. So when farms open up their farm stands—and by the way, right now there are a lot of farms that do have small farm stores like small grocery stores, and that domain of what they can grow and sell has increased. So it's giving–these loans are giving farmers a chance to shift their focus and their attention to try to open up new markets and sell more to the markets they have already. You know, I think a lot of us are realizing that it's been our local neighbors who are farmers who are making the difference for us and feeding our families during this epidemic. And the supply chain of when that strawberry or asparagus is picked that gets to our table, so many fewer hands are touching that produce. I just hope that all of us are focusing on our farms right now and understand how deeply dependent we are on their good work that they do every day.
How many farms were helped out in this latest round, and what are your plans for the emergency farm fund for the future?
So, the emergency farm fund for COVID-19, we were able to do, 13 farms received loans totaling over $180,000. We're going to open up the fund for a second round starting June 1st. And applications will be due by June 22nd. And we anticipate that we might spend the remaining $220,000 in no interest loans then.
Where does the money for the fun come from?
The money from the fund comes from, in terms of CISA from the community. We've raised that money from amazing members of the community who understand how important our local food supply is, how important it is our neighbors who are farmers. So CISA is providing 150,000 of the total $400,000 the Franklin County CDC which has been an amazing partner in this round of emergency farm fund. They've had investors who had set up The Pioneer Valley Grows Investor Fund. And those monies are coming from that investment fund.
Now, this is the first time that this emergency fund has been used for a non-weather related emergency. So did the criteria change for getting a loan?
It's accurate to say that this is the first pandemic we've experienced to this degree and 100 years and every single farm—business has been impacted. So we have opened it up for all farms to apply. We do ask them to say how they've been impacted. But the criteria otherwise it's the same in the past. It was a single weather event and you would just show why Hurricane Irene impacted your farm. So in a way, it's the same you're showing how COVID-19 has impacted your farm.
And these are farms all up and down the valley, right? It's not just one region?
Correct. It's the three-county area of Hampshire, Hamden and Franklin counties and the range of farms included farms that focused on maple syrup, or flowers, or vegetables, or hard cider, or mushrooms, or fruit. It was it was a wide range of farms that applied.
And I think you mentioned this but, you're going to be taking applications again beginning when?
Applications will be taken again starting on June 1st, and all the information will be up before then at via

Chapter 7: Conclusion
For any runs of 10km or more, and when the weather is hot, you need to drink while running to avoid dehydration. And for any run over half a marathon, or over 2 hours, you should also aim to take in some energy while you are running. This will make the run more pleasurable, aid your recovery and (if you are racing) improve your performance.
This chapter may have given you the impression that there is a lot to remember, and a lot of numerical calculations. Don't be put off: just experiment and find out what works best for you.

加圧方式の床吹出し空調システムに関する研究 第1報, 均一な吹出し気流速度分布を得るための因子解析 Studies on a Pressurized Type Underfloor Air-Conditioning System (1th Report : Analysis of Controlled Factors for Uniform Air Velocity Profile)
Recently, a lower type free-access floor system which realizes improved ease of walking and less sense of confinement has been attracting attention. However, it is known that the lower the design of the air supply chamber, the larger the non-uniformity of the supplied air velocity at each diffuser and the greater the deterioration in room temperature distribution. In this report, an analytical model is proposed for predicting the non-uniformity of supplied air velocity at the design stage. The validity of the analytical model was confirmed by the good-coincidence of results obtained in scale model tests. It was found that the limit of the floor height at which a uniform supplied air velocity is obtained was 50 mm. Moreover, a relation was found whereby the inverse of coefficient of resistance at a diffuser up to a value of 1 is proportional to the maximum non-uniformity. This indicates the possibility that design work aimed at constructing a pressurized type under floor air-conditioning system with a uniform supplied air velocity profile may be readily performed from parameters of the coefficient of resistance at a diffuser by utilizing this relation.

Notifies an enlisted object that a transaction is being rolled back (aborted).(Inherited from IEnlistmentNotification.)
Represents the resource manager's implementation of the callback for the single phase commit optimization.
You should note that even when your resource manager implements this interface to support single phase commit optimization, it is not guaranteed that it receives a single phase commit. The transaction manager can still send two phase commit notifications instead.
To enlist your resource manager as a participant in a transaction, call the EnlistVolatile method or the EnlistDurable method of the Transaction class. Specifically, the EnlistmentOptions parameter should equal to None to ensure that a single phase commit is performed. If it is mistakenly set to EnlistDuringPrepareRequired, no single phase commit occurs.
Since the IEnlistmentNotification interface, the resource manager must also implement all the methods of the latter for two phase commit notifications. It is the transaction manager's choice as to whether two phase commit or the single phase commit optimization is used with this resource manager. However, implementing this interface gives the resource manager the opportunity to take advantage of the optimization when it is available.interface derives from the
If the optimization is used and the transaction manager calls the SinglePhaseCommit method of the enlisted resource, the resource manager should respond to this call by using various methods of the SinglePhaseEnlistment class to inform the transaction manager if the transaction is to be committed or rolled back.

Quantum mechanical coupling/excitation
 1. Apr 9, 2010 #1
 the wikipedia article _URL_ suggests a scenario where you have two or multiple quantum oscillators (a lattice of particles maybe or whatever) and coupling describes the interaction at a quantum level (analogous to the classical coupling that is taught in an introductory waves+optics class). however, does this apply still to what they refer to coupling being an interaction between two particles, such as a photon and an electron (i.e. the "absorption" of the photon) increasing it's kinetic energy? if not, where can i find information on this kind of "absorption" type coupling? (i'm an senior undergrad, so whatever level of complication is fine)

Paper Title: Full-Scale Measurements of Welding-Induced Initial Deflections and Residual Stresses in Steel-Stiffened Plate Structures
M S Yi, Department of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering at Pusan National University; and Samsung Heavy Industries, South Korea
C M Hyun, Samsung Heavy Industry, South Korea
J K Paik, The International Centre for Advanced Safety Studies (The Lloyd's Register Foundation Research Centre of Excellence), South Korea; and University College London, UK
Plated structures such as ships and offshore structures are constructed using welding techniques that attach support members (or stiffeners) to the plating. During this process, initial imperfections develop in the form of initial deformations (deflections or distortions) and residual stresses. These initial imperfections significantly affect the buckling and ultimate strength of these structures. Therefore, to assess the strength of welded plate structures, it is very important to predict the magnitude and pattern of welding-induced initial imperfections and their effects on buckling and ultimate strength. To determine the reliability of the prediction methods, it is desirable to validate the theoretical or numerical predictions of welding-induced initial imperfections through comparison with full-scale actual measurements.
However, full-scale measurement databases are lacking, as they are costly to obtain. This study contributes to the development of a full-scale measurement database of welding-induced initial imperfections in steel-stiffened plate structures. The target structures are parts of real (full-scale) deckhouses in very large crude oil carrier class floating, production, storage and offloading unit structures. For parametric study purposes, four test structures by varying plate thickness are measured while the stiffener types and weld bead length are fixed. Modern technologies for measuring initial deformations and residual stresses are applied. The details of the measurement methods are documented for the use of other researchers and practicing engineers who want to validate their computational models for predicting welding-induced initial imperfections.

Hopefully this is simple - I DataBind a bunch of labels and text controls in a Silverlight application (to DependencyProperties that I create in my class), but of course the text is empty at design time.
I'd still like to have an idea of how this will be laid out; is there a way to specify a design-time value, even though it's databound?

The feature you're looking for is Expression Blend Sample Data. Sample Data allows you to specify a Design Time data source that has some sample fields in it (names, addresses, numbers, images, hierarchies, etc).
Here's a good introduction article: _URL_
And here's a collection of links on Sample data: _URL_
The core of Sample Data is you use build a mock design time datasource in blend (shaped like your data types), define the type of sample data and the bindings get evaluated to give you a meaningful design time experience.

Box 7.1: Assessment and management plans
As there are no specific MBS items for dementia diagnosis and management services, a number of MBS items may be claimed by GPs and other specialists for services involved in diagnosing and managing dementia including:
- Geriatrician Referred Patient Assessment and Management Plans (MBS items 141–147; referred to as 'Geriatrician referred plans') are comprehensive assessment and management plan services provided by a consultant physician or specialist in geriatric medicine to patients who have been referred by a GP. These services are for patients aged 65 and over with complex health issues and who are at significant risk of poor health outcomes.
- Chronic Disease Management Items (MBS group A15; referred to as 'Chronic disease plans') are management plan services for people with chronic or terminal health conditions, or conditions that require care from a GP and at least 2 other health or care providers.
These plans aim to provide comprehensive and up-to-date information on the patient's health priorities, actions for patients to take to manage their condition/s and achieve their health goals, as well as information on health and community services available to the patient. In addition to assessing a patient's current and past medical history, assessments may involve an assessment of physical, psychological (including cognition) and social function, as well as advanced care planning.
In 2016–17, on average, there were substantially more geriatrician referred plans (17 per 100 people) and chronic disease plans (131 per 100 people) for people with dementia than people without dementia (1.4 and 55 per 100 people, respectively) (Figure 7.5).
These differences between people with and without dementia were mainly due to differences among people living in the community. On average there were:
- 18 times as many geriatrician referred plans for people with dementia as there were for people without dementia living in the community
- 2.7 times as many chronic disease plans for people with dementia as there were for people without dementia living in the community.
By comparison, there were 1.7 times as many geriatrician referred plans for people with dementia as there were for people without dementia living in residential aged care. However, the average number of chronic disease plans was slightly higher for people without dementia than people with dementia living in residential aged care.

text: We present results from a 15-year 10-member warm season (March–September) hindcast ensemble of maximum and minimum surface air temperatures and precipitation in southeast USA. The hindcasts are derived from the Florida State University/Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies Global Spectral Model (FSU/COAPS GSM) and downscaled using both the FSU/COAPS Nested Regional Spectral Model (NRSM) and a statistical downscaling method based on stochastic weather generator techniques. We additionally consider statistical bias correction of the dynamical model output. Basic descriptive statistics indicate that the bias-corrected and statistically downscaled data reduce the FSU/COAPS GSM bias considerably in terms of basic climatology. Statistics describing the daily precipitation process are improved by both downscaling techniques relative to the bias-corrected GSM. Improvement in monthly and seasonal hindcasts relative to FSU/COAPS GSM is spatially and temporally varying. Precipitation hindcasts are generally less skillful than those for temperature, although useful precipitation predictability exists at many locations. Hindcast improvements due to downscaling are greatest over peninsular Florida. The smallest root mean square errors (RMSE) for temperature hindcasts are found in the southern part of the study region during the spring months of March, April and May (MAM) for maximum surface air temperature, and in the summer, June, July and August (JJA), for minimum surface air temperature. Overall, there is no indication that either downscaling method has a direct advantage over the other.

Picture Placeholders are a great way to add images to presentations, while maintaining a consistent placement, size and style. Since the picture formatting is defined on a Slide Layout within the template, it's easy to insert new pictures without having to realign, resize or edit styles.
Did you know that Picture Placeholders can be easily transformed into any of the pre-defined shapes in PowerPoint?
In Slide Master View, select a Slide Layout with a Picture Placeholder (or Insert Layout and Insert Placeholder, Picture). Select the Picture Placeholder, click the Drawing Tools Format tab, Edit Shape, Change Shape and choose any shape from the gallery. Tip: drag the adjustment handle (yellow diamond) to refine the shape by making corners smaller, modifying an angle or arrowhead).
But what if you want a specific shape that doesn't exist in the gallery?
With PowerPoint 2010, you can edit Picture Placeholders to create very unique, custom shapes. There are a couple ways to accomplish this.
In Slide Master View, select a Picture Placeholder, click the Drawing Tools Format tab, Edit Shape, Change Shape and choose a shape from the gallery. Tip: a rectangle is a good choice to start, but you can select any shape that is closest to your desired final result.
Click Edit Shape again, then Edit Points. Right-click on any point or segment to begin adjusting the Placeholder. Note: this works in PowerPoint 2007, too!
With PowerPoint 2010, it's much faster to edit Picture Placeholders by using the Combine Shapes commands. These commands allow you to quickly create custom forms by merging shapes together, intersecting them, or by deleting a portion of one shape from another.
To access this command, you must add it to the Quick Access Toolbar, located above the File tab. To customize the Quick Access Toolbar, do the following:
1. Click the arrow next to the Quick Access Toolbar, and then under Customize Quick Access Toolbar click More Commands.
2. In the PowerPoint Options dialog box, in the Choose commands from list, select All Commands.
3. In the list of commands, click Combine Shapes, and then click Add.
Again, you must change the shape of the Picture Placeholder prior to editing. In Slide Master View, select a Picture Placeholder, click the Drawing Tools Format tab, Edit Shape, Change Shape and choose a shape from the gallery.
Next, draw shapes that you will add to, or subtract from, the Picture Placeholder shape. In the example, I've drawn circles on top of each corner.
Select the Picture Placeholder, then one of the new shapes and choose either the Shape Subtract or Shape Union command from the QAT. Repeat this step for all other shapes.


Using Google Dart as an online collaboration calculator
When I'm stuck on math questions I turn to my friend Chris who can write pixel perfect C# code in a chat window. Yesterday I needed to calculate where a line intersects a circle so after a few google searches I came up with this Google Dart code:
double x1=100.0;
double y1=100.0;
double x2=200.0;
double y2=200.0;
double radians=Math.atan2(y2-y1, x2-x1) ;
double radius=50.0;
double y3=y2+radius * Math.cos(radians);
double x3=x2+radius * Math.sin(radians);
As it turned out, I made two mistakes. The last two lines should be:
double y3=y1+radius * Math.sin(radians);
double x3=x1+radius * Math.cos(radians);
How did I find out? Easy! I entered the code in the Dart editor and sent the generated link to Chris. He looked at the code, made some changes and sent a link back.

Corona pandemic and plague of locusts – people in Africa are at particular risk this year. It is important that they receive seeds quickly to prevent a new famine.
First came the locusts and then the lockdown due to the corona pandemic. What the locusts left on the fields and pastures could not be harvested in many places because the farmers could not go to their fields. It is now important that they receive seeds quickly. This will allow them to sow seeds in time before the long-awaited rain comes. The seeds that the Kolping Families receive are adapted to the regional soil conditions. The coordinators know exactly what grows quickly and is profitable – like for example beans, sweet potatoes, and corn. In combining them with self-made fertilizers, the farmers can often harvest three times the amount. KOLPING distributes the seeds and shows the farmers the best cultivation methods. This gives the families a perspective and they can soon start harvesting again.
Please help with your donation that as many small-scale farmers as possible receive seeds and can feed their families. Every amount helps!

Using a flannel board with your child is a wonderful way to help him or her learn, and allowing a child to play by him or herself with a board and a variety of felt pieces encourages inventive story play. And it helps develop early literacy skills!
Kids love this traditional song (sung in this video by librarian Kelsey Coulter) because they can make the sounds for a variety of farm animals. If you create your own flannel board, you can start with Old MacDonald Had a Farm and then introduce more animals by changing it to Old MacDonald Had a Zoo. If you would like to learn how to make a flannel board for your child to use, check out the books listed above.
Periodically, the library has flannel-making workshops for parents and caregivers. Check the library's calendar of events to see when the next one is being held.


Mahout distance measure
All the distance measure classes are in org.apache.mahout.common.distance package.
They all implements the DistanceMeasure interface which also extends the Parametered interface.
There are two methods in the DistanceMeasure interface:
double distance(Vector v1, Vector v2)
double distance(double centroidLengthSquare, Vector centroid, Vector v)
You can create a new distance measure by implementing the DistanceMeasure interface 🙂
Mahout clustering
I have been exploring the mahout clustering packages. Some brief description of the codes
org.apache.mahout.clustering.kmeans.KMeansDriver is the main entry point. The run method setup the clustering job by specifying the input path to data points, path to initial k clusters, distance measure class used.
In the KMeansDriver, it also setup the settings in the Configuration as follows:
conf.set(KMeansConfigKeys.CLUSTER_PATH_KEY, clustersIn.toString());
conf.set(KMeansConfigKeys.DISTANCE_MEASURE_KEY, measureClass);
conf.set(KMeansConfigKeys.CLUSTER_CONVERGENCE_KEY, convergenceDelta);
KMeansConfigKeys is an interface which defines the config keys for the settings.
org.apache.mahout.clustering.kmeans.KMeansMapper loads the initial predefined clusters via the setup method. In the map method, it reads the VectorWritable and passes it to the KMeansCluster to do the clustering, comparing against the predefined clusters via the following call.
this.clusterer.emitPointToNearestCluster(point.get(), this.clusters, context);
In the emitPointToNeareastCluster, it finds the nearest cluster by comparing the distance to each cluster in the list. It then writes the cluster identifier and wraps the point in the ClusterObservations to HDFS.
context.write(new Text(nearestCluster.getIdentifier()), new ClusterObservations(1, point, point.times(point)));
In the KMeansReducer, it aggregates the list of ClusterObservations into a Cluster before writing it the Cluster id as key and Cluster as the value.
In the setup method, KMeansReducer loads the predefined initial cluster from HDFS path and creates the ClusterMap of key as cluster id and value as Cluster itself.

values are configured on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM). When you enable the DSCP option on Jabber, it then retrieves those preconfigured DSCP values from the CUCM and applies them directly to the IP headers of the RTP media packets.
This will take place only on the voice packets sent from the Jabber application on the phone. This will not affect the DSCP values of other traffic (web, email, etc) that originate from the phone. Remember however that DSCP values are at Layer 3. This means that DSCP values will only actually have any effect when they reach the next router in their journey, which may be beyond the AP, and well within the wired network.
Therefore, these DSCP values must then be translated to some form of QoS that will kick in for the wireless portion of the network, which is at Layer 2. Now in order for this to function correctly, the phone must support 802.11e which is a standard that defines QoS enhancements for Wi-Fi. This is sometimes referred to as Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM). This and must also be supported by the Wi-Fi network. The Android phone (or any wireless device for that matter) must have this capability in order to ensure QoS for the wireless portion of the journey.
Now you must also configure APs, the controller, as well as the wired network to respond to these QoS values as well. You can see some example QoS configurations at the following Cisco documentation:
You may also find this Cisco community thread useful as well:
I hope this has been helpful!
Hey Laz,
thank you so much for this great explanation.
i read so many articles to understand what is exactly WMM and CAC. I am trying to understand what are these features. I think my brain shutdown. I will try to read it again another day.

Thank you for well explained lesson. But I just confused after reading this in the forum.
Yes, this is absolutely correct."
Rene says in the AF PHB section that "Class 4 has the highest priority. For example, any packet from class 4 will always get better treatment than a packet from class 3."
So, as I understand there should be difference AF21 and AF31. Ok, They have same low drop probability but they have also different class priority marking. And, if each administrator define different policy to these classification there will be no standardization. Am I right? Or not?
Thank you.
Hello Ike
When it comes to QoS, there are various distinct mechanisms taking place. The first is classification. This involves identifying (or classifying) traffic so we know what it is (voice, web, video, file transfer etc…)
Second comes marking, which is where the IP Precedence and DSCP values come in. This process chooses among the classified traffic, what priority, or what IP precedence and DSCP values each class of traffic should have, and it is applied to that traffic.
Now up to this point, we've only identified and put labels on our packets. If a router is not actually instructed to respond to these labels, it will treat them all the same, using "best-effort".
Differentiated services, as described in this lesson, involves a series of standard responses to these markings, and these are defined within various RFCs. These RFCs define how to interpret the 8-bit DS field found within the IP header, and also define a "default" or standardized predetermined treatment of the various values found within it.
On a Cisco device, if queuing is enabled, (i.e. if a service policy is applied to an interface), then the markings will by default be treated as described in this lesson.
By default, the class defines which queue the packet will be placed in while the drop probability defines how likely it will be dropped in the event that the queue becomes full. But, these default behaviours can be adjusted and changed however you like, by changing the policy maps associated with the queuing.
I hope this has been helpful!
Thank you very much Laz for clarification. As I understand, this is kind of passport queue while entering in a country. If anybody has diplomatic passport ( cs5 value ), by default they have higher priority but passport control management can decide in which queue they will enter and how they will be treated (snacks, refreshments…). If there's no policy enabled, everybody will be in the same queue and treated with FIFO.
Thank you again.
Hello Ike
Yes, that's a perfect analogy, and easy to understand. Thanks for sharing that!!
Hi Laz,
I am unable to understand how are you getting these Hexadecimal values for different classes and how are you choosing bits as well ( mean what pattern you are following) for different classes.
Also at corner you used DROP then vertically classes and horizontally Low, medium and High but concern is that how should I read it this whole chart, I am totally confused after reaching at the end of the topic?
Hi Laz,
Could you guide that DSCP value of specific class sector name with ip precedence name mean how should i read it and what are the meanings of all ip precedence name as well as how shall we use these value?

Reciprocity is a key determinant of human behavior and has been well documented in the psychological and behavioral economics literature. This paper shows that reciprocity has significant implications for computer agents that interact with people over time. It proposes a model for predicting people's actions in multiple bilateral rounds of interactions. The model represents reciprocity as a tradeoff between two social factors: the extent to which players reward and retaliate others' past actions (retrospective reasoning), and their estimate about the future ramifications of their actions (prospective reasoning). The model is trained and evaluated over a series of negotiation rounds that vary players' possible strategies as well as their benefit from potential strategies at each round. Results show that reasoning about reciprocal behavior significantly improves the predictive power of the model, enabling it to outperform alternative models that do not reason about reciprocity, or that play various game theoretic equilibria. These results indicate that computers that interact with people need to represent and to learn the social factors that affect people's play when they interact over time.

Taking vaccines against diseases
Taking vaccines against diseases 1
Are vaccines allowed in Islam? Some scholars in Pakistan are inciting the people against getting their children vaccinated for polio. They say that according to the Shariah we are commanded not to go to a place where disease exists and quote evidence from the Hadeeth "Flee from the leper as you would flee the lion", but are not allowed to use medicine before an ailment has occurred. Many people accept their verdict and this is affecting the eradication of polio from Pakistan, as parents no longer allow the government sent doctors to vaccinate their children. Please give a clear verdict on this.
It is permissible to take vaccinations against diseases and that it is a kind of seeking treatment. Going to vaccination places is not exposing oneself to contagious diseases and this is not contradicting the Prophetic narration which reads: Run away from the leprous as you run from the lion.[Al-Bukhari] Rather, the narration proves that seeking protection against the disease is legislated. Ibn Al-Qayyim said: The Prophet permitted seeking protection against contagious diseases.
Vaccinating against some diseases is seeking protection against them, so it is permissible. Therefore, one should not refrain from vaccinating unless it is proven by trustworthy doctors that a given vaccination has more disadvantages than benefits, as in this case it is not permissible to vaccinate because the Prophet said: There should be no harm and no reciprocal harm.[Ahmad and Ibn Maajah]
Allaah Knows best.

DNA clues to Queen of Sheba tale
Clues to the origins of the Queen of Sheba legend are written in the DNA of some Africans, according to scientists.
Genetic research suggests Ethiopians mixed with Egyptian, Israeli or Syrian populations about 3,000 years ago.
This is the time the queen, mentioned in great religious works, is said to have ruled the kingdom of Sheba.
The research, published in The American Journal of Human Genetics, also sheds light on human migration out of Africa 60,000 years ago.
The Queen of Sheba
- Queen mentioned in the Bible, the Koran and the Ethiopian Kabra Nagast
- Sheba was a rich kingdom that prospered through trade with Jerusalem and the Roman Empire, and spanned modern day Ethiopia and Yemen
- Queen said to have visited Jerusalem with gold to give to King Solomon
- Some texts record that she had a son with King Solomon
According to fossil evidence, human history goes back longer in Ethiopia than anywhere else in the world. But little has been known until now about the human genetics of Ethiopians.
Professor Chris Tyler-Smith of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge, UK, a researcher on the study, told BBC News: "Genetics can tell us about historical events.
"By analysing the genetics of Ethiopia and several other regions we can see that there was gene flow into Ethiopia, probably from the Levant, around 3,000 years ago, and this fits perfectly with the story of the Queen of Sheba."
End Quote Dr Sarah Tishcoff Department of Genetics and Biology at the University of Pennsylvania
This paper sheds light on the very interesting recent and ancient population history of a region that played an important role in both recent and ancient human migration events"
Lead researcher Luca Pagani of the University of Cambridge and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute added: "The genetic evidence is in support of the legend of the Queen of Sheba."
More than 200 individuals from 10 Ethiopian and two neighbouring African populations were analysed in the largest genetic investigation of its kind on Ethiopian populations.
About a million genetic letters in each genome were studied. Previous Ethiopian genetic studies have focussed on smaller sections of the human genome and mitochondrial DNA, which passes along the maternal line.
Dr Sarah Tishcoff of the Department of Genetics and Biology at the University of Pennsylvania, said Ethiopia would be an important region to study in the future.
Commenting on the study, she said: "Ethiopia is a very diverse region culturally and linguistically but, until now, we've known little about genetic diversity in the region.
"This paper sheds light on the very interesting recent and ancient population history of a region that played an important role in both recent and ancient human migration events.
"In particular, the inference of timing and location of admixture with populations from the Levant is very interesting and is a unique example of how genetic data can be integrated with historical data."
The scientists acknowledge that there are uncertainties about dating, with a probable margin of error of a few hundred years either side of 3,000 years.
They plan to look at all three billion genetic letters of DNA in the genome of individual Ethiopians to learn more about human genetic diversity and evolution.


K-9 Division
The Chisago County Sheriff's Office K-9 Division supports and provides an additional specialized resource for patrol officers and investigators in increasing the effectiveness in the detection and prevention of crime, as well as the apprehension of criminals, and provides protection and enhanced safety for officers and citizens.

 3. 3
 4. 4
Why Use K-9's
The K-9 Division employs 2 patrol officers with specialized skills and highly trained K-9's to support the sheriff's office in meeting its law enforcement mission. The K-9 teams provide all the duties of patrol officers with the additional capabilities of the trained K-9's.
The greatest value of the K-9 teams lies in the ability of each dog's keen sense of sight, smell and hearing, which aid and enable the teams to track and locate missing or wanted person, locate evidence or lost property, apprehend fleeing or combative fugitives, and pinpoint hidden contraband.
The K-9 teams provide a positive public image of the sheriff's office expertise and efficiency. Regularly, the K-9 teams must train to maintain their proficiency to remain deployed as an operational asset. This constant training of the teams maintains a high level of readiness, ensuring the Chisago County community that each K-9 team is prepared for any eventuality.
In addition to the law enforcement mission, the K-9 Division performs public demonstrations and visits to local schools and civic organizations.
The Chisago County Sheriff's Office K-9's have many skills that make them a valuable tool for law enforcement.
Area Search
The K-9's can search large areas for contraband and illegal drug interdiction, as well as for suspects, and locates them using their heightened sense of smell.
Building Searches
The K-9's can enter a building and search it for an intruder in a fraction of the time it would take officers.
Criminal Apprehension
In the circumstance of a fleeing felon or violent individual refusing to surrender to law enforcement, the K-9's are trained to physically apprehend suspects and render them into submission for law enforcement to take them into custody.
Drug Search
The K-9's are trained to detect the odor of illegal narcotics. They are an extremely important tool in the fight against drugs in our community. When the K-9's indicate the odor of narcotics, it gives law enforcement probable cause to search.
The K-9's use their heightened sense of smell to detect the path of fleeing criminals or missing children / adults. K-9's use a combination of the scent of the individual and also the disturbed ground scent a person makes when they step. They can track across many surfaces that include concrete, grass, sand, and gravel.
The K-9's are considered Deputy Sheriffs and have their own equipment issued by the sheriff's office. They ride in special patrol cars that are set up to ensure K-9 safety and comfort. The patrol cars have their windows tinted to help minimize the heat. They also have temperature alarms that lower the windows and sound the horn if the interior temperature gets too high. The patrol cars have special cages built into them for K-9's. They have rubber mats and are ergonomically designed for comfort and safety. The cages have a water dish that allows the K-9's to stay hydrated throughout their shifts. The patrol cars also have additional lighting on them to maximize their visibility.
The K-9 Division is committed to serving its community and providing the highest quality of service to its citizens. If you wish to request a demonstration, you may contact:

Purpose: Currently, development of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) after surgery is frequently being followed by legal action in Korea, as consequences may be fatal. In the current study, we assessed possible countermeasures that medical teams can take when faced with conflicting opinions on responsibility for PTE. Methods: A retrospective analysis of claims handled by the Supreme Court and subordinate courts, from 1999 to 2015, was performed. We analyzed the type of procedure, associated complications, and critical legal points from the recorded judgments along with any liability limitations on surgeons. Results: After reviewing cases between 1999 and 2015, a total of 18 cases were analyzed. There were no cases in which the surgeon was held accountable between 1999 and 2002. From 2003, there were instances of the surgeon being held account able, with a peak of cases in 2013. Legal standards applied in judicial decision-making related to appropriate use of preventive measures, operation characteristics, doctor's reaction towards symptom occurrence, obligation of postoperative medical care, and duty of explanation. Conclusion: The courts in Korea have changed their position from one of denying doctors' liability to one of enforcing responsibility for PTE. Surgeons are therefore being held responsible with greater frequency, depending on the details of the case. Lessons can be learnt from precedents that can be incorporated into medical education and training programs with the aim of reducing both major PTE complication rates and litigation costs.
