To help ensure the winners of games on BitDraw are chosen randomly, BitDraw uses transparent rules combined with external random data to chose winners. The method is as follows:
- Hashing function
- Whenever a hashing function is mentioned below SHA-512 is used.
For each game, 2 sources of 512 bits of data are collected/generated: Once at the start of the game, and once at the end.
At the start of a game, the 1st lot of 512 bits of data are pulled from random.org.
- This 512 bits of data is included in a game signature, a hash of which is displayed to the player. This game signature hash allows users to confirm that BitDraw does not change this pre-selected random data.
- Note: If random.org happens to be unavailable, Ruby's
Random.rand function is used, and the result hashed to generate 512 bits.
At the end of a game, the 2nd lot 512 bits of random data are generated by grabbing the
id of a tweet on Twitter. The tweet used is the one announcing the finishing of the game in question by _USER_.
Note: If Twitter happens to be unavailable or returns an error, Ruby's
Random.rand function is used.
id value or Ruby's
Random.rand value are converted to 512 bits by hashing that value.
Once the game has finished and the 2 lots of 512 bits of data have been collected these are XOR'ed to generate a new 512 bits of data derived from the two 512 bit sources.
This resulting 512 bits is used to determine the winner(s) of the game.
For raffles and lotteries, the mechanics are largely the same. For both types, the 512 bits are used to pick items randomly from the possible choices.
The 512 bits are used as an endless bitstream as follows:
Copy the original 512 bits into a bit array.
If X bits are needed,
and there are X+ bits in the current bit array,
then X bits are removed and used from the front of the current bit array.
If X bits are needed, but there are not enough bits, a new 512 bit array is created by hashing the entire current 512 bit array.
- Go back to b.
- Pick X bits from the endless bitstream, where X is the number of bits needed to pick an item from the possible tickets for a raffle. For example, if there are 2 tickets, 1 bit, if there are 3 or 4 tickets we need 2 bits, etc.
Check if the X bits converted to a decimal value map to a valid raffle ticket number.
- If yes, that is the winning ticket.
- If not, got back to a.
- Pick X bits from the endless bitstream, where X is the number of bits needed to pick an item from the pool of lottery items. For example, if there are 8 items in the pool 3 bits are needed, if there are 9-16 items 4 bits are needed, etc.
Check if the X bits map to a valid item in the lottery pool and check that item has not already been chosen.
- If yes, add that item to the accumulate list of winning lottery items.
- If no, go back to a.
If need pick more items, go back to a.
Once all the winning items for the lottery are chosen:
- The winning tickets are all tickets for that game matching the winning lottery items.
- Split the jackpot evenly between winning tickets.


Southwest Homes
Decorating Tips On What NOT To Do For Southwest Homes
16 Great Tips On How NOT To Decorate
southwest homes decorFor many Tucson home buyers decorating their new is a new adventure. They've relocated with the excitement of living in their new southwest home.
The architecture of Arizona homes is different from other parts of the country. Spanish influences are seen everywhere. Classic features include tiled or flat roofs, parapet walls, and viga beams.
And in Tucson, you will find homes built with mud adobe walls. A few over 100 years old.
Even new subdivision embrace the "old west" and the style of the southwest home. But how does someone from Wisconsin, New Jersey or Washington create that "southwest" feel.
So how does a new comer to the Southwest know how to decorate their new house?
Consider Colors And Textures
One reoccurring question is "Why are the Southwestern interior paint colors very warm?" The answer is pretty simple. Bright and bold colors resembles the colors of the Mother Earth.
Turquoise and blue-green colors reflect the sky. Orange and yellows reflect the desert.
Why do southwest homes use a variety of wood in their homes. Simple. It was an abundant material in the high plateaus where they lived. The Rocky Mounts of Arizona and New Mexico provided a lot of different species of trees.
The wood provides natural color that can remain for decades. But a southwest decor will add traditional Southwestern coloring to the furniture.
For example, we can use cream, lime green, or white color to paint the table, armories, or other stuffs. But keep in mind that the colors should look warm.
Lets circle the wagons and find out what To Do & Not Do
southwest decorA recent HGTV article identified 16 decorating mistakes found in southwest homes today. The identified decorating mistakes were
 1. Decorating southwest homes using cut to fit toilet rugs. (Often times seen with matching seat cover.) Big sanitary turn-off! Instead use a rectangular rug placed away from the toilet.
 2. Decorating southwest homes using too many personal photos. Rule of thumb, group no more than 3 per area. Put the rest of your photos of family, friends and trips in a photo album.
 3. Forgetting to add some southwest color in your foyer. Add some southwest color, hang a piece of southwest art or a southwest mirror. Tucson offers a host of wonderful artists. Find one and choose a piece of southwest art that represents you.
 4. Decorating southwest homes using out-of-place themes. Forget decorating an entire room with a theme. Instead only use accent pieces of what you like. When you have a home in the desert but love the beach, accent a bookshelf with a few seashells. Avoid decorating an entire room with a beach-style.
 5. Decorating southwest homes using outdated accessories. Make small changes like switching out the hardware on your cabinets. It makes a big impact!
 6. Decorating southwest homes by keeping something you hate. When it comes to your home, like the ugly contractor grade light in your bathroom, get rid of it. Donating it to charity. Habitat for Humanity will even pick up your items for free; besides, it's a great cause.
 7. Decorating southwest homes while having visible clutter. Organized and uncluttered are part of a southwest home style. This is a keep it simple world.
 8. Decorating southwest homes when everything matches. This style might be found in a catalog but it's designed that way to sell furniture; people don't live that way. Make your southwest home more eclectic and not like a showroom you can't live in.
We Are Half Way There
 1. Decorating southwest homes with furniture that doesn't fit. Remember showrooms are much larger than your living or family room. Draw the room you're decorating to scale and place the pieces around for the best layout. Don't put too much in any space!
 2. Decorating southwest homes and the area rug is floating. Big mistake! Before buying a rug, tape off the area you want covered. Remember, a rug should connected to furniture so it anchors the room. Don't be afraid to put the rug sideways. For a successful arrangement, put all the front feet of the furniture on the rug.
 3. Decorating southwest homes using improper lighting throughout. Different types of lighting and adding dimmer switches is a great way to create the mood you want. Remember your room's function when choosing your proper light.
 4. Decorating southwest homes and you've hung your art too high. Generally you should not look up to art whether you are sitting or standing. Eye level is the right height. A good rule of thumb for hanging artwork over a sofa is the bottom edge should be about six inches up from the top of the sofa.
 5. Decorating southwest homes with furniture up against the walls. Create a focal point in the room and bring the sofa to that focal point area. Example, move the sofa in front of a fireplace and put a console table behind the sofa. It will enlarge the space!
 6. Decorating southwest homes with a fear of color. Come on, we're in sunny Tucson where color is a great punctuation. Wall color will appear different throughout the day. Make sure your color choices works with the space and day time sun.
 7. Decorating southwest homes with too many knickknacks. Call it what you want; tchotchkes, keepsakes, decorations, we all have too many! Again the rule of thumb, group no more than 3 per area and store the rest if you can't give it away
And Number 16
 1. Decorating southwest homes with fake flowers. Controversial topic I know, but fake flowers and plants are a mistake. Bring life into your home whether its flowers or fruit in a bowl. It adds a natural punch of color.

IMPORTANCE Carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) accounts for 3%to 5%of all cancers and is associated with poor prognosis. Familial clustering of different cancer sites with CUP is unknown and may provide information regarding etiology, as well as elevated cancer risks in relatives. OBJECTIVE To quantify the risk of cancer by site in firstand second-degree relatives and first cousins of individuals with CUP. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Nested case-control study of patients who received a diagnosis of CUP between 1980 and 2010 identified from the Utah Cancer Registry. Population controls with no CUP diagnosis were sex and age matched 10:1 to patients with CUP. Data about relatives were drawn from the Utah Population Database. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Familial aggregation of cancer risk in relatives of cases compared with controls using Cox regression analysis. RESULTS For the 4160 index patients (median [interquartile range] age, 72 [62-81] years; 47.6%male) who had received a diagnosis of CUP, first-degree relatives were at an elevated risk of CUP themselves (hazard ratio [HR], 1.35 [95%CI, 1.07-1.70]), as well as lung (HR, 1.37 [95%CI, 1.22-1.54]), pancreatic (HR, 1.28 [95%CI, 1.06-1.54]),myeloma (HR, 1.28 [95%CI, 1.01-1.62]), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (HR, 1.16 [95%CI, >1.00-1.35]) cancers compared with controls without CUP. When the analysis was restricted to relatives of cancer-free controls, additional increased risks for colon (HR, 1.19 [95%CI, 1.06-1.33]) and bladder (HR, 1.18 [95%CI, >1.00-1.38]) cancers were observed. Second-degree relatives of patients with CUP were at a slight increased risk of lung (HR, 1.14 [95%CI, 1.03-1.26]), pancreatic (HR, 1.17 [95%CI, 1.01-1.37]), breast (HR, 1.09 [95%CI, 1.02-1.16]), melanoma (HR, 1.09 [95%CI, >1.00-1.19]), and ovarian (HR, 1.19 [95%CI, 1.02-1.39]) cancers. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Relatives of patients with CUP are at increased risk of CUP and several other malignant neoplasms, including lung, pancreatic, and colon cancer. The present data may suggest sites of origin for CUP and provide cancer risk information for relatives of patients with CUP that can lead to effective intervention. Relatives of patients with CUP should be aware of the elevated risks for lung, pancreatic, and colon cancer and encouraged to modify risk factors and adhere to site-specific population cancer screening.

When I look through a lens the image of objects far away are inverted but when looking the the viewfinder on my camera they are not. Why is this?
I am having a hard time understanding why objects far away are inverted in the first place.
Could anyone provide an explanation or ray diagrams (Preferably using a point source on an object and including the lens in the human eye)?
EDIT: Thanks everyone I now understand why objects far away from a lens appear inverted. But can anyone now explain how the camera elements make far inverted objects appear right way up without also making close normal objects appear upside down?
EDIT 2: I can't provide an image right now because I am at school but you know how when you look through a magnifying glass and far objects will be inverted and blurry but close objects will be sharp and erect (normal)?
That is what is happening when I look through my camera lenses while they are not attached to the camera, but when they are attached to the camera and I look through the viewfinder (or at processed film) the objects in the image produced are all of the same orientation.
Does this mean that lens doesn't actually produce images like a magnifying glass would because the objects on the images produced on film are all of the same orientation? Or does this mean a magnifying glass doesn't actually produce objects with different orientations?? If a magnifying glass doesn't, then why does it look like it does and are the convex lens diagrams wrong (they show a virtual image upright for close objects and real upside-down images for far objects)? Isn't a magnifying glass just a convex lens?
It DOES look like a magnifying glass when I look through the lens. That's why I thought that then lens was producing objects with different orientations. This also goes with the convex lens diagrams below that show objects with different orientations.
So does the lens produce objects with different orientations or doesn't it??? If not why does it look like it does when I look through the lens, and also based on the convex lens diagrams it seems like it should. If it doesn't then how do the other lenses in a camera lens attachment correct the convex lens. And if it does then why does film and the viewfinder show objects with the same orientation?
Sorry for asking so much. This is just so confusing!
EDIT 3: This is how I thought a camera lens would work:
I forgot to mention in EDIT 2 that it seems that close objects shouldn't even appear on film based on the diagrams.
I still don't understand... =(
EDIT 4: So objects really close to the camera lens should not appear on film, correct?
So...Why do all objects in the viewfinder appear upright??? Since my eye is reviving both the light rays from close objects (virtual upright images) and far objects (real inverted images) shouldn't really close objects and objects farther away have different orientations? Just like looking through the lens directly? How does the viewfinder change anything?
EDIT 5: Thanks so much everyone. Thanks for the help.
"Anything close enough to form a virtual image is not focused onto the focusing screen"
So lets say I put a pen right in front of the lens and look through it directly. The image I see is upright so this means it is a virtual image. Now lets say I attach the lens to the camera and look through the viewfinder. I can still see the pen but it is blurry (because the focal length is longer, right?). The lens forms a virtual image of the pen but I can still see it in the viewfinder. Why is this? If the viewfinder shows me exactly what would be on the film it should not show the pen at all (based on the diagrams in the image above) should it?
EDIT 6: Maybe it should form a blurry image. Like a pin hole camera or something. In any case thanks for all the help everyone. I know it can be frustrating trying to teach me. I can be pretty dense sometimes.

Christianity in the Comoros
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Christianity in the Comoros is a minority religion. Roman Catholics in the Comoros are about 4,300 (0.5% of the population). Protestants are about 1,678 persons (0.25% of the population). In 2006 four persons were detained in the town of Moroni in the Comoros. The constitution guarantees religious liberty. Christians are not allowed to witness publicly. They are subject to the denial of many civil rights. Christians are subject to societal disadvantage. There are foreign religious groups, that give humanitarian action. They do not engage in prozeliytizing however. Religious groups do not have the duty to register.
A law states that who preaches another religion to Muslims, is subject to both a prison sentence and a fine. On Ngazidja Christian liberty is greater than in other parts of the Comoros. There is a Roman Catholic church in Moroni, on the island of Ngazidja. Another Roman Catholic church is in Mutsamudu. There is a Protestant church in Moroni. According to the World Christian Encyclopedia (2nd edition), Volume 1, p. 208 there is at least one congregation of both Seventh Day Adventists and the reformed Eglise de Jésus Christ aux Comores.[verification needed]

What should you do before you start cutting with a planer?
- Wear safety glasses or goggles, or a face shield (with safety glasses or goggles), and use the appropriate hearing protection.
- Disconnect the planer from the power supply before making any adjustments to the cutter head or blades.
- Ensure switch is in off position before plugging in.
- Use blades of the same weight and set at the same height.
- Ensure that the blade-locking screws are tight.
- Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning on power.
- Support the material (stock) in a comfortable position that will allow the job to be done safely and accurately.
- Check stock thoroughly for staples, nails, screws, or other foreign objects before using a planer.
- Do not cut stock less than 20 cm (8 in) long or 1 cm (0.5 in) thick.
What should you do while cutting with a planer?
- Start a cut with the infeed table (front shoe) resting firmly on the stock and with the cutter head slightly behind the edge of the stock.
- Use two hands to operate a planer - one hand on the trigger switch and the other on a front handle.
- Do not put your finger or any object in a deflector to clean out chips while a planer is running.
- Disconnect the power supply when stopping to dump out chips.
- Do not set a planer down until blades have stopped turning.
- Stand on the side of the planer near the controls. Never stand behind stock when being fed into the planer.
- Keep all cords clear of cutting area.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.

- To impregnate locally with carbon (a mass of steel) which should not elsewhere contain so high a percentage of carbon, or of carbon combined with the iron. This method is used in the case of armor-plates or other steel elements which must resist perforation, or impact, or abrasive attack on the surface exposed, but which would be inconveniently brittle if the hardening effect of a high percentage of carbon was operative all through the mass or thickness.

- Use simpler data: Instead of using a 100,000 long vector, can you use a 10 long vector until you have the algorithm working?
- Remove complexity: Most MATLAB 'bugs' can be reproduced with no more than ten lines of code. Once we remove all the extraneous lines of code, it becomes clear what is really going on. For example, a recent graphics case was brought to me. The case had nothing to do with the title, so I removed the code that created a title. Was the title hurting anything? No, it was not, but that and 30 other similar removals made the code three lines long and made the problem very evident
- Use better variable names: I often get code to debug for people, the variable names are often distracting and take away mental energy from understanding the code. Which is easier to understand?
All I did was change the names of those variables for the plotting step. Ideally, I would have had well named variables throughout my code, but at least this little corner of the code it more understandable now. This kind of simplification (even though it is more lines of code), when applied many, many times will tame complexity.

Who Needs An LEI Number?
Question mark
Who needs an LEI number? LEI is needed by legal entities who take part in financial transactions and who wish to trade in financial markets, such as buying stocks, bonds or other securities. There are also many regulations (dependant on jurisdictions) that require to obtain an LEI.
Since the LEI scheme was created, many new regulations across the globe have been introduced. A situation that means many entities in a range of industries now need to apply for an LEI. The details of which you can find below
What is an LEI number?
An LEI or Legal Entity Identifier is a unique 20 digit alphanumeric code. Its purpose is to provide regulated identification for legal entities such as businesses and organisations, especially those in the financial industry.
The aim of this is to make holdings more transparent, and the data on them more connected and easy to access. Thereby minimising any financial risk involved in dealing with such entities across the globe. Read more about what is an LEI.
Financial institutions that always require an LEI number
Currently, legal entities that always require an LEI include financial institutions such as brokerages, banks, investment & insurance companies, and credit unions. LEI Register is dedicated to helping you through the LEI registration process.
However, individuals are not required to have an LEI to trade on the financial market. Therefore if you are not a company or corporation you will not, at this time, need an LEI.
Investment firms and their clients (EU)
Another type of organisation that requires an LEI specifically within the EU are investment firms and their clients. This is because of the MiFID II/MiFiR regulations that became a law in January 2018.
What this means is that EU authorities are required to refuse trades between investment firms and their clients, unless both sides have an LEI number. In fact, this situation is primarily know as – 'no LEI, no trade.' If your organisation falls under these MiFID II/MiFiR requirements, you can apply for an LEI through LEI Register.
Government agencies (USA)
There are other types of legal entities that will need an LEI too, including many US government financial agencies. This is primarily because the Office of Financial Research has made the LEI mandatory.
Such agencies include the Federal Reserve System (FED), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC ), and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).
RTOs and ISOs
Additionally, since 2015 there are US government entities that exist outside of the finance sector that will require LEIs as well. In fact, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) mandates that all RTOs (Regional Transmission Organizations) and ISOs (Independent System Operators) have an LEI.
Those affected by the Financial Transparency Act
Finally, it is also prudent to mention that, while not currently the case, there will be additional entities that may be required to use LEIs in the near future.
The reason for this is the U.S. Regtech Law, the Financial Transparency Act. Something that, if passed, will require all the data gained by such agencies to be unrestricted. The idea being to make transactions between such entities, and the ability to regulate them, much more reliable.
LEIs are the perfect method of identification for such data. Therefore, any entity that is dealing with the regulatory agencies listed here, is likely to require an LEI soon.
LEI Register's goal is to help legal entities register their LEIs simply, securely and cost effectively. It is a simple 2 minute process made convenient by us.


Swiss cheese
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Revision as of 20:16, January 21, 2013 by (talk)
Jump to: navigation, search
For those without comedic tastes, the so-called experts at Wikipedia have an article about Swiss cheese.
This article refers to Swiss cheese made in America. For Swiss Cheese made in Switzerland, see Cheeses of Switzerland
Discovered in 1283, Swiss Cheese is a rare and magical breed of cheese. It is formed by coagulating cow's milk, compressing the remaining solid material, then shooting it with a shotgun.
One of the 12 Fundamental Cheeses, Swiss cheese exists only in the most outer areas of the Universe due to its inherent instability around other cheeses.
Birth Place
It was in Switzerland where one of Santa's elves, Hermie the Yodeling Elf found a Chicago typewriter and soon found himself a case of exploding diarrhea that caused him to unintentionally pull the tigger on a wagon of cheese wheels thus giving us Swiss cheese, If you come closer to it you hear the yodeling of dead yodelers echoing through the wheels in the making of these holely delights of cheddar
Space-worms, now well known for their magical properties, thus went about their business creating wormholes through the "Swiss cheese." However, unlike the majority of the worms' holes, wormholes created in areas of high Swiss cheese density remain open for many years. This is the main reason for the lack of recent human exploration to the outermost reaches of space.
It also explains why the Swiss have to have such excellent watches, and why large amounts of money keep mysteriously appearing in their banks.
Swiss cheese is the reason why Switzerland is known for their constant horn blowing, random yelling of the word "Ricola" and non-stop yodeling
One day, in the year 1894, the Swiss were enjoying a nice day of picnics, filled with normal, non-hole-filled cheese. However, they did not predict an ambush by pissed off Turkeys that smashed themselves free from windows of poultry/butcher shops with magic and AK-47s with Tommy Gun action. The swiss decided to use the normal, hole-free cheese wheels as either discuses or wepons but the attempt failed as the turkeys shot holes in every cheese wheel that came near them.
The Swiss Cheese Paradox
Swiss cheese in it's purest form, also known as a Black Hole. This particular block of Swiss cheese became so "swiss" during fermentation, it lead to a complete collapse of an entire galactic sector.
1 - Swiss cheese has holes.
2 - More Swiss cheese, more holes.
3 - The more holes there are, less cheese.
4 - Therefore, more cheese is less cheese.
Mind-boggling, isn't it?
It is for this reason that cheese scientists are always wary of "not making the cheese too holey". For safety reasons most large-scale manufacturing takes place on the outer edges of the galaxy. There have been many documented collapses of star systems due to successful Swiss cheese production. It is now believed that at the center of most galaxies is the purest swiss cheese; Some have ventured on expeditions to obtain this cheese, however none have ever returned (Presumably due to Temporal Paradoxs)
Swiss cheese and it's side effects
Swiss Cheese has many side effects
Part-Time Chemist and Professor Odie O. Colognie diagnosed the following when eating swiss cheese
- Nonstop Yodeling
- Constant urge to screw a Sweedish woman
- Undescribable urge to wear lederhosen
- Insanity (i.e. claiming to be Jesus and Satan)
- Uncontrollable urge to yell "Ricola" a zillion times before your head explodes
and... exploding diarrhea
Scientific studies disprove popular belief
A four-year study recently completed by post-doctorate Food Technologists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has shown that contrary to popular belief, Swiss cheese does not have holes in it. Samples of Swiss cheese were collected over the four-year period from randomly-selected supermarkets and 7-ll stores across the USA and centrifugally separated in sealed chambers designed for analysis of moon rock, thus enabling the technologists to perform discrete quantitative studies on the yellow matter and the invisible, colourless matter (the so-called "holes" in popular nomenclature). Employing atomic weighing systems normally used to establish the mass of individual hydrogen electrons to an accuracy of <0.00000001%, they found that forty tons of Swiss cheese contained no holes at all.
Other samples were found to have holes, however when background checks were conducted on the samples, the samples seem to have come from a long history within the cheese mafia. Autopsy results say that the holes were indeed made by bullets. Scientists believe that someone got to the cheese before it could talk.

In order to study inlight ice adhesion at the droplet-scale, a strategy is presented to simulate the impact and solidification of a supercooled water droplet on a cooled substrate. Upon impact, nucleation is assumed to occur instantaneously, and properties of the droplet are chosen to account for the nucleation process. Simulations are performed in ANSYS Fluent using a coupled Volume of Fluid and Level-Set method to capture the air-water interface and an Enthalpy-Porosity method to capture the liquid-solid interface. Calibration of a simulation parameter, Amush, is performed in order to match experimental data for different surface types and surface temperatures. The calibrated simulation strategy is applied to low-speed, inlight icing conditions. The effects of surface variation and droplet diameter variation are investigated, providing insight into the icephobicity of superhydrophobic surfaces. Numerical results suggest that large droplets (approximately 200 micron-diameter) will freeze and adhere to a superhydrophobic surface.

Task uvsector will flag a sector of visibility data with a given u-v position angle (or hour angle). While you can give the position angle of the sector to be flagged directly (via the angle parameter), it is more convenient to indicate the position angle indirectly via the stripe direction in an image. How do you specify a stripe direction? You do this by specifying a long, thin region in a image. Normally you will generate the region by using cgcurs (see Section 17.3 for more information on cgcurs). With cgcurs, you display a greyscale of the image, and then use a cursor to selection a long, thin, region containing the crest of a single stripe. The selected region is then written into a text file, cgcurs.region. While this may be a rather odd way to define a direction, it allows uvsector to use the interactive facilities of cgcurs.
Typical inputs to use cgcurs are
|in=vela.icln||Input image (probably CLEANed).|
|range=||Set the range to highlight the stripes.|
|device=/xs||PGPLOT device - Xwindows here.|
|options=region||Define a region of interest.|
The width of the sector that uvsector flags is given as an angle (in degrees) via the width parameter. Remember that 1 degree is equivalent to 4 minutes of observing time, so do not set it to any value larger than you need. Normally you would set this to a few degrees, based on your confidence in the accuracy of the stripe direction. The default is 5 degrees.
As uvsector flags a sector, if your input visibility data-set contains multiple configurations, data within that sector for all configurations will be flagged by default. Generally this is not what you are likely to want. If you know which configuration contains the bad data, you can use the select keyword to ensure just that configuration is affected. Selecting by time is probably the easiest.
The breadth of a stripe also contains useful information - a glitch in just
the short baselines will cause a broad stripe, whereas a glitch in just the
long baselines will cause a narrow stripe separation. A glitch in just one
baseline will give a two dimensional sinusoid.
Given the separation
between stripes, you could make an approximate calculation of the corresponding
u-v radius of the bad data.
For a stripe separation (crest to crest) of x arcseconds, the corresponding
u-v radius is
|vis=vela.uv||Visibility data to be flagged.|
|angle||Leave unset if defining position|
|angle by a stripe direction.|
|in=vela.icln||The image containing stripes,|
|used only for its coordinate information.|
|_EMAIL_||A long, thin, region along the crest|
|of a stripe.|
|width=3||Flag data over 3 degrees (12 minutes of time)|
|select||Leave unset to flag all data in the sector,|
|select=uvrange(8,12)||Flag data within the sector and between 8 to 12|

Definition:Undefined Term
From ProofWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
For a definition to not be circular, the definer must use already defined terms.
However, this process cannot go on indefinitely. If we were to insist on everything being defined only using previously defined terms, we would enter an infinite regress.
Concepts that are not defined in terms of previously defined concepts are called undefined terms.
An undefined term is frequently explained by using an ostensive definition: that is, a statement that shows what something is, rather than explains.
Also known as
Undefined terms are also known as primitive terms, or primitive notions.

What is PRIDE?
PRIDE is making a commitment to take Personal Responsibility in Delivering Excellence. PRIDE is an attitude, a way of life. The PRIDE programme establishes a culture of service excellence throughout the Cayman Islands.
Cayman PRIDE strives to:
 - Raise our standard of customer service
 - Distinguish the Cayman Islands from other Caribbean destinations
 - Increase our visitors' intent to return and recommend the Cayman Islands to others
 - Ensure a promising and sustainable future for our islands
 - Improve and enhance our community and our quality of life
Why invest in PRIDE?
Tourism plays a major role in our economy. The Government is funding the PRIDE programme as part of its ongoing mandate to enhance the Cayman Islands' competitiveness as a tourism destination and ensure the long-term sustainability of tourism in the country. The world spends over $500 billion on tourism yearly. By raising the level of customer service, we will be able to obtain a greater share of the tourism market.
Who participates in PRIDE?
Each member of our community plays a role in tourism. Those employed in tourism-related industries will be invited to receive PRIDE training. Our hope is that everyone living in the Cayman Islands will embrace PRIDE, not just as a way of delivering service excellence, but as a way of life.
How does PRIDE work?
Behavioural and operational service standards are agreed upon and set by tourism industry partners. Mystery shopping is used to identify strengths and training opportunities as well as provide interactive training programmes. Periodic quality checks are conducted to measure all progress in delivering excellence to guests.

Nick Walton released AI Dungeon 2: "infinitely generated text adventures with deep learning models."
The game is built on top of OpenAI's GPT-2 XL language model (see DT #27
) which means that, unlike in traditional text adventures, the text adventure's inputs and responses are completely open-ended. Gameplay is very simple: based on some seed information (a genre, character, and name), AI Dungeon 2
generates a scenario; the player then responds with a command (text after the ">"); and the game generates a new scenario in response. The process then repeats.
Here's a fun snippet that captures how well the GPT-2 backend understands the meaning of commands and keeps track of context, from a playthrough by Janelle Shane on her AI Weirdness blog
As you walk through the ruins, you find a small wooden door with a few skeletons guarding it.
> Ask the skeletons to please let me through the door
You knock on the door and ask them if they can open it for you. They immediately comply.
> Transform the ruin into a palace
You immediately change the area into a palace. You have a throne made with gold and marble. You also make several statues of yourself. You have a large bed made with silk sheets and hang a portrait of yourself on it. You even have a fountain made with pearls and diamonds.

Inclusion problems for one-counter systems
MetadataShow full item record
We study the decidability and complexity of verification problems for infinite-state systems. A fundamental question in formal verification is if the behaviour of one process is reproducible by another. This inclusion problem can be studied for various models of computation and behavioural preorders. It is generally intractable or even undecidable already for very limited computational models. The aim of this work is to clarify the status of the decidability and complexity of some well-known inclusion problems for suitably restricted computational models. In particular, we address the problems of checking strong and weak simulation and trace inclusion for processes definable by one-counter automata (OCA), that consist of a finite control and a single counter ranging over the non-negative integers. We take special interest of the subclass of one-counter nets (OCNs), that cannot fully test the counter for zero and which is subsumed both by pushdown automata and Petri nets / vector addition systems. Our new results include the PSPACE-completeness of strong and weak simulation, and the undecidability of trace inclusion for OCNs. Moreover, we consider semantic preorders between OCA/OCN and finite systems and close some gaps regarding their complexity. Finally, we study deterministic processes, for which simulation and trace inclusion coincide.

How to Use In-Store Messaging Successfully
Learn what makes a successful in-store message display as well as how text-enabling your ad can be the key to driving more sales.
Featured image for the article
Did you know 69% of shoppers spend 30 minutes or more in a retail store?
And while COVID-19 may result in shoppers wanting to get in and out of stores as quickly as possible, it only means it's more important than ever to capture their attention.
So how do you use that time to sell, upsell, and engage? The secret is in your in-store messaging.
In this article, we'll explain what in-store messaging is, what you need to make yours successful, and the potential outcomes of a successful in-store marketing strategy.
What Is In-Store Messaging?
In-store messaging is simple, objective-based advertisements continually served to shoppers at your location.
It could be an audio message played over a store loudspeaker, or a visual message like a sign, display, or tag.
Since the messaging serves customers who are already in your location, the focus is on driving sales. And one of the top tactics in-store messaging takes is to create a sense of urgency.
For example:
 - An announcement over the loudspeaker sharing a sale on jeans ending TODAY
 - Big, bright, sale signs hung around the store
 - Cornered-off and clearly marked clearance sections that, thanks so the piled display, represent a sense of scarcity
 - Attention-grabbing graphics that urge you to take action now while a product is on your mind
Why Is In-Store Messaging Successful?
We ask, "why is in-store messaging successful" vs. "is it successful" for a reason. The numbers speak for themselves.
 - 80% of shoppers say in-store messaging influences their buying decisions
 - 82% of shoppers make unplanned purchase decisions in-store
 - 72% of shoppers find in-store audio promotions helpful to their experience
In-store advertising can help in increasing sales up to 16% on average thanks to serving the right message at the right time.
Here's how it works:
 1. Know your audience: Is your product a luxury item, a bargain brand? Knowing the type of person shopping for your item will help you determine the kind of message needed.
 2. Identify their problem: What keeps them from making a purchase when they're in your store?
 3. Offer a solution: Provide the anecdote to their purchase problems. Too expensive? Hook them with a coupon!
 4. Wrap it into a quick message: Choose your medium—in-store signage or audio clips are the most popular—and share your message and value directly.
Here's an example that shows all four steps in action.
Let's say your store sells two brands of toilet paper (one generic, one name-brand). You'll want to upsell the folks who typically buy generic. You'd do this by targeting their cost-savvy habits with messaging that offers a bulk discount on the name brand that's too good to pass up!
In-Store Messaging Examples
When it comes to the last step above, sometimes finding a way to package your message can be tough. Especially if you only have a few short moments of aisle-browsing attention.
So, here are some examples of successful in-store messaging examples to get your creative juices flowing.
In-Store Posters

The example above shows the sense of urgency described above ("One Day Only 50% off Storewide"). And while your discounts may not be as extreme as the example above, the simple values-based copy demonstrates the point precisely.
All your sign needs is an eye-catching visual, the values statement, and you're in business.
Checkout Signage
Photo Credit: Retail Media Group
This example follows the same psychology as keeping candy and small objects by the checkout counter. While your customers wait to check out, serve them some advertisements that promote an impulse purchase. This is also the same driving force behind the success of "keep the change" checkout donation drives.
Table Toppers

In-store messaging isn't just for retail. Restaurants are also a great place to capture the attention of your audience during the 30-60 minutes they're dining with you. Tabletop messages are an excellent way to upsell a meal with enticing dessert photos. Or, like in the example above, encourage gift card sales!
Overhead Music
70% of retailers agree that in-store music increases sales, and the right kind of music can influence shoppers to spend even more. Pepper in audio announcements over the speaker sharing deals and discounts, and you'll boost your efficacy even more.
Text Enabling Your Store Displays
A study by Euclid Analytics found that 83% of consumers said they use their smartphone while they shop at brick-and-mortar stores.
But just because they're looking down at their device it doesn't mean they can't still access your in-store messaging. It simply needs to go mobile!
95% of text messages are read within three minutes of being received. This means the chances of an offer sent while a customer is in-store has a high chance of convincing them to make a purchase.
Getting customer's phone numbers can also be the gateway to collecting more valuable information such as emails, zip codes, and birthdays.
You can use the phone numbers you collect to text out offers, coupons, and other material that will drive more foot traffic to your brick and mortar or online store.
A popular way to quickly collect customer's phone numbers in-store is to create a QR code shoppers can scan while standing in line to unlock a coupon. Or, add a keyword and phone number to in-store signage for customers to text in to learn more about a sale.
💡SimpleTexting Tip: A keyword is a word or phrase that your customers can text to a 10-digit number or designated text short code. When they do, they're signing up for future SMS marketing campaigns.
Try it out for yourself to see how easy it can be to collect shopper information in a (camera) snap!
Businesses like Delta Sonic have seen amazing results with mobile advertisements for their stores at gas pumps in their area. To date, they've acquired over 50,000 text subscribers who regularly receive and respond to their offers!

1. Review: Optical Micrometer Resolution Scanning for Non-invasive Grading of Precancer in the Human Uterine Cervix
 Management of cervical precancer is archetypal for other cancer prevention programmes but has to consider diagnostic and logistic challenges. Numerous optical tools are emerging for non-destructive near real-time early diagnosis of precancerous lesions of the cervix. Non-destructive, real-time imaging modalities have reached pre-commercial status, but high resolution mapping tools are not yet introduced in clinical settings. The NCBI PubMed web page was searched using the keywords 'CIN diagnosis' and the combinations of 'cervix {confocal, optical coherence tomography, ftir, infrared, Raman, vibrational, spectroscopy}'. Suitable titles were identified and their relevant references followed. Challenges in precancer management are discussed. The following tools...

Love this super easy, super pretty idea from The Glitter Guide Collaborating with Hey Look! Simply apply spray glue or double-sided tape to desired object, and sprinkle with glitter. Presto, cute little centrepiece!
Glitter Votive Jars
- glass jars, vases or simple drinking glasses
- paper glue or spray glue
- double-sided tape
- glitter powder in the color(s) of your choice
Instructions for the glitter votive:
-Apply paper glue or spray glue to jar. You can make shapes or simply apply it all over.
-Sprinkle the jar with a good amount of glitter. Make sure you don't leave any glue spots uncovered.
-Tap on the glitter particles carefully, then shake off excess glitter and you're done.
-Place a votive candle in the jar or use it as vase
Instructions for the sparkle-striped votive:
-Stick double sided-tape strip onto jar as shown in the picture. You can use tapes of different widths if you like, and apply several stripes per jar.
-Sprinkle generously with glitter then clean off excess sparkles.
-If you want your stripes to be of different color, place 2nd strip of tape on votive only after cleaning off the glitter from the first stripe. Repeat step 2 and you're done.

FrameworkElement.SizeChanged Event
Occurs when either the ActualHeight or the ActualWidth properties change value on a FrameworkElement.
Namespace: System.Windows
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
XMLNS for XAML: Not mapped to an xmlns.
public event SizeChangedEventHandler SizeChanged
Use a handler based on SizeChangedEventHandler to handle this event.
The Windows Phone layout system reads properties in the SizeChangedEventArgs event data class of this event, to determine whether the reported size changes should be considered significant. This allows the layout system to avoid forcing a layout change because of visually imperceptible differences between old and new height or width values. The imperceptible differences might be caused by rounding or calculations of a floating-point value.
The SizeChanged event uses specialized event data derived from RoutedEventArgs, not EventArgs. However, the event does not bubble (it does not travel a true event route).
It is not strictly necessary to avoid calling other APIs that influence layout of the current object from within a SizeChanged handler. For example: setting Height or Width; calling InvalidateMeasure or UpdateLayout; calling ApplyTemplate; any operation that might resize child elements and thus invalidate the parent layout. The layout engine has internal logic that is capable of avoiding many looping issues. However, it is still possible to create sizing or rendering loops if your handler logic combined with surrounding layout is not capable of reaching an end result for the size of the relevant object.
SizeChanged is raised whenever the size (either ActualHeight or ActualWidth) has changed on the object, and is raised after the Measure and Arrange passes are complete (for more information about these concepts, see Layout and panels for Windows Phone). If the position of the object within a parent container changes, but not the size, SizeChanged is not raised.
LayoutUpdated is a similar event, but LayoutUpdated is also raised for position changes. In addition, LayoutUpdated occurrence is not scoped to a specific object's layout properties, and is instead reporting on the entire visual tree that an object is contained in. LayoutUpdated informs you that something within the overall visual tree that contains the object has changed, but the layout specifics (size, position) of the object where the handler is attached might not have changed.

The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Jasper
From Wikisource
Jump to: navigation, search
JASPER, an impure quartz, less hard than flint or even than common quartz, but which gives fire with steel. It is entirely opaque, or sometimes feebly translucent at the edges, and presents almost every variety of color. It is found in metamorphic rocks and often occurs in very large masses. It admits of an elegant polish and is used for vases, seals, snuff-boxes, etc. There are several varieties, as red, brown, blackish, bluish, Egyptian. Ribbon or agate jasper is jasper in layers.


Date and time format - ISO 8601
What is ISO 8601?
ISO 8601 describes an internationally accepted way to represent dates and times using numbers.
When dates are represented with numbers they can be interpreted in different ways. For example, 01/05/12 could mean January 5, 2012, or May 1, 2012. On an individual level this uncertainty can be very frustrating, in a business context it can be very expensive. Organizing meetings and deliveries, writing contracts and buying airplane tickets can be very difficult when the date is unclear.
ISO 8601 tackles this uncertainty by setting out an internationally agreed way to represent dates:
For example, September 27, 2012 is represented as 2012-09-27.
What can ISO 8601 do for me?
ISO 8601 can be used by anyone who wants to use a standardized way of presenting dates and times. It helps cut out the uncertainty and confusion when communicating internationally.
The full standard covers ways to write:
How can I get ISO 8601?
You can buy the full standard from the ISO Store, or from the ISO member in your country.

Theorem is the art of painting designs on velvet using stencils. Theorem painting was popular in the 1800's -- especially in New England -- but gradually declined after 1850, due to the increasing availability of Victorial floral prints. The word "theorem" means "a theory or analysis" and refers to the way an artist must analyze the picture he/she wants to paint and divide into numbered parts in order to create and cut a stencil. Primitive Beginnings theorem paintings are all hand made, one of a kind, and signed by the artist. All theorem painints are made in USA by American artists.

A base is a chemical that has hydroxide (OH)–, as its negative part, such as NaOH (Na+ and OH–)
- Some chemicals, such as baking soda (NaHCO3), form a base when mixed with water.
- A base indicator is a chemical that changes color when added to a base. If the indicator is dry, such as litmus paper, the paper changes color when a base solution touches the paper.
Litmus Paper: Test for a Base
Purpose: To identify a positive test for a base using litmus paper.
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon of distilled water
1 strip of red litmus
1 strip of blue litmus
1. Mix the baking soda and water together.
2. Use the same procedures previously described for testing for an acid.
1. The objective is to place a drop of base on each piece of litmus paper. This can be done by any one of the following procedures:
- Fill an eyedropper with the baking powder solution and place a drop of basic solution on each piece of litmus. Observe any change in the color of the litmus strip.
- Stir the baking soda solution with a glass stirring rod, wooden craft stick, or plastic knife. Then touch the wet end of the rod or stick to the strips of litmus paper. Again observe any color changes.
Results: The red litmus turns blue. The blue litmus gets wet and may appear more blue in color.
Conclusion: Red litmus can be used to identify a base. Red litmus turns blue when it touches a base solution.

Paralegals changing lenses
 Research output: Contribution to journalArticle
 This editorial is about how a paralegal programme can multiply the effectiveness of restorative justice and reduce the imprisonment rate. That programme is in Bangladesh, but it helps answer a question relevant for every country and that for me started in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). My friend Symphorien Pyana from a Jesuit nongovernmental rganisation (NGO) in DRC recently said that there was a desperate need in Eastern DRC for an initiative to get former child soldiers out of prison. Footloose former child soldiers frighten people when they hang around on the streets of Congolese towns. I have experienced that fear. Some have a faraway stare; when they congregate near an ATM, fear is a natural response if you are taking money from the ATM. So police and soldiers often arrest them with little justification. Those who do have affiliations with organised crime groups bribe prison officials to release them out the back door of the prison. It is the innocent children who are left there to rot. They are forgotten as they wait for completion of a non-existent investigation, often into a non-existent crime. One thought I had about this challenge was to approach the Catholic Cardinal of Belgium, whom I had met on a visit to KU Leuven, to solicit interest among retired Belgian lawyers to volunteer to work with Symphorien to get the former child soldiers released into educational/vocational programmes or to get them a trial date if there truly were grounds for a prosecution to proceed. On reflection, this did not seem an especially cost-effective approach, as the Belgian lawyers would all require expensive airfares, accommodation and security. Most of the former child soldiers would speak little or no French.

Poetry and folk music have a long and rich tradition in Ireland. And since
the turn of the century, many poems and songs have been inspired by the
conflicts in Northern Ireland, and between Britain and Ireland. The selections
below are a brief sample of how Irish poets and musicians have translated the

The man stopped the machine he was riding and stepped off it to take a look. When he discovered the snake was in two pieces, he reached to grab the tail end to keep, perhaps as a souvenir. While gripping the rattle section of the snake, the other half, which included the creature's head, struck, biting the farmer on the arm.
The man, knowing the danger, and feeling the sting of the venom, ran back toward his farmhouse, seeking help from neighbors. But, the effect of the venom took him fast. Even with the assistance of neighbors, any help was to no avail. The farmer died as a result of the snake's poison.
While rattlesnake fatalities are rare in western Michigan, another occurred 18 years later. On Sept. 9, 1909, Hudsonville farmer Thomas Damm was bitten in the arm by a rattlesnake, and died the following day. The snake laid underneath a wood pile where Damm was working.
On Sept. 27, 1954, a West Olive girl suffered a rattlesnake bite on the leg while playing with friends near her home. She made a full recovery at the Holland Hospital. The "serpent killers" likely were all a breed known as a Massasauga rattlesnake. The eastern Massasauga rattlesnake is Michigan's only venomous snake, and is a rare sight for state residents.
In recent years, a Burmese python in Ottawa County made headline news. On Aug. 19, 2008, a Michigan state trooper shot and killed the nearly 7-foot long snake after it slithered onto a West Olive road frightening passing motorists. Authorities were concerned the python might attack children in the area and suspected the python was a released or an escaped pet.
Most of historical Massasauga sightings on record originate in Oakland, Livingston, Jackson and Washtenaw counties in southeast Michigan and in Allegan, Barry and Kalamazoo counties in southwest Michigan.
While the unfortunate Ottawa County victims had no protection from the Massasauga, the creature became protected under Michigan law in 1988.


I have railed against this particular form of lawn care hokum ever since I first heard about it, but I think I might have narrowed down it's origin. The story goes like this.
Rumors float around the net saying that sugar can control weeds in your lawn. Guys like me say "no, it really can't." Internet responds with "you're in the pocket of the big chemical companies."
I dug in to search around the internet for any sign that someone had done some testing on this that would have set off the stampede to the grocery store's baking goods section.I finally tracked down a scientist who actually has done the work, and I think may have inadvertently created the data that so many people misinterpreted and misused. Dr. Suzanne Prober was kind enough to write back to my inquiries and clarify her studies.
She writes:
"I'm not convinced sugar would be useful for home lawns. Use of sugar for weed control capitalizes on some particular ecological differences between weeds and target plants in certain common situations, as follows:
1. The weeds are nitrophilic, ie they don't grow well at low available nitrogen
2. The plants that you do want grow well at very low available nitrogen (<2.5 mg/kg nitrate)
3. The plants that you do want have the capacity to maintain these low nitrogen levels once established (otherwise it would be necessary to add 0.5 kg/m2 sugar every three months)
We have found for instance, than in grassy eucalypt woodlands, native herbaceous species thrive at low nitrate, but many exotic annuals like wild oats do not. We use the sugar to temporarily control the weeds, to give sown native grasses a chance to establish well. The native grasses, especially Themeda australis, then keep the soil nitrate levels low in the longer term, so that the weeds are suppressed in the long term."
I responded:
"Thank you very much for your response. Just to be clear that I understand correctly, does sugar have the effect of actually lowering the available nitrogen? If this were the case, logic would lead me to believe that the result in a home lawn care setting would be the opposite of what is claimed. The lower nitrogen levels would not benefit grass growth, but might allow for weeds like clover to get a foothold. Am I understanding correctly?"
She responded again:
"Yes it's correct that the sugar temporarily lowers available nitrogen, which I imagine wouldn't be good for lawn grasses. This could favour some types of weeds."
So there you go folks. The perfect example of a little knowledge leading to bad practice. Stick to fertilizers as needed and save the sugar for your coffee.

*Social solidarity refers to the integration, and degree and type of integration, shown by a society or group with people and their neighbors. It refers to the ties in a society – social relations – that bind people to one another. The term is generally employed in sociology and the other social sciences. What forms the basis of solidarity varies between societies. In simple societies it may be mainly based around kinship and shared values. In more complex societies there are various theories as to what contributes the sense of social solidarity.
**Charles Tilly defines big social movements as a series of contentious performances, displays and campaigns by which ordinary people made collective claims on others [Tilly, 2004]. For Tilly, social movements are a major vehicle for ordinary people's participation in public politics [Tilly, 2004:3]. He argues that there are three major elements to a social movement [Tilly, 2004]:
Edit: Irony. Anyways, I think are are interchangeable
(although there is a slight difference between the two).
A social movement is a communities need to have a particular agenda intact by governmental means because those in control are not distributing properly. Strength in numbers sort of speak. Solidarity is similar because their is a need to resolve a particular issue in government or religion or other commuity cause and so it is necessary to have silidarity to ensure that it is sought after in unity.

Dog Found Breastfeeding A Starving Abandoned Child
 YouTube/QueOpinaChileTV
The remarkable instincts of a sweet dog are being credited for helping to save the life of a young child who had been abandoned by his mother.
The 2-year-old boy was rescued last week in the Chilean village of Arica, half-clothed and in a dangerous state of malnutrition. It's unclear how long he had been left to fend for himself, but despite being deserted by his parent, the child was not completely without maternal attention.
Incredibly, the boy was discovered being cared for by a neighborhood pet, named Reina. The dog, who is pregnant with a litter of puppies, had evidently taken the starving child in as her own, nursing him with her life-giving milk, reports Estrella de Arica.
"Police were called to verify the witness's report, noting the obvious state of malnutrition of the child and verifying that he was drinking milk from a canine that was in the area, so he was moved immediately to a hospital," police captain Diego Gajardo told the paper.
According to the Associated Press, the boy was treated and later released into the custody of child services.

While Reina's actions on behalf of the child are truly remarkable, similar stories of animals breastfeeding starving children are not unheard of. Perhaps the best-known instance of this stems from ancient mythology in the story of Romulus and Remus, traditionally cited as the founders of Rome.
According to legend, the twin boys were on the verge of death after being abandoned by their mother in infancy, only to be rescued by a she-wolf who suckled them.

SCOTTSVILLE, TEXAS. Scottsville, on Farm roads 1998 and 2199, four miles east of Marshall in east central Harrison County, was named after its founder, William Thomas Scott, who moved to Texas from Louisiana in 1840. In 1840 Scott's slaves built his lavish plantation home, reputedly identical to Jefferson Davis's Mississippi mansion. Scottsville's white schoolchildren attended classes in the small schoolhouse that Scott had built; it was staffed with the Scott family governess. The Scotts also established the first church in the community, a Methodist congregation. During the Civil War the Scott plantation provided provisions for Confederate troops. On August 4, 1869, Scottsville was granted a post office. Its population was reported as 300 in 1929, as 50 during the Great Depression, and as around 260 by 1950, a total that remained fairly steady into the 1980s. In the early 1990s Scottsville, which still had its post office, was an incorporated community and reported 287 residents and eleven businesses. In 2000 the population was 263.

Why: The goal of the event is to commemorate the AU Day of African Sport. This day recognises the role that African sport plays in communities and in people's lives. Sport can cross boundaries, defy stereotypes and inspire hope across nations. The event will bring together adolescents and young people to celebrate the day as well as demonstrate through football activity, the importance of sport/physical activity in their lives. The event will bring together boys and girls to compete in a 7-aside football tournament.
During the tournament, all the COVID-19 guidelines as prescribed by the Government of the Republic of Zambia, through the Ministry of Health will be adhered to.
Objective: This type of community tournament and health event utilizes soccer as a platform to:
- Provide linkage to services and mobilize communities and key stakeholders to challenge social norms that traditionally exclude adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) from sport;
- Mobilise communities around Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and to provide key services (HIV Testing and STI screening, etc.) in non-clinical settings, such as high-volume soccer tournaments that double as community health events.
- These unique events are used to sensitize community members on SRHR and facilitate access to services in non-traditional, community-based settings, reaching individuals that may not typically seek care at health facilities.

In both disasters, large regions lost the majority of their affordable housing stock, resulting in massive spikes in homelessness and displacement. UNITY of Greater New Orleans reports that homelessness rates effectively doubled in the city from January 2005 to January 2009. The Greater New Orleans Community Data Center adds that New Orleans experienced a population loss of over 140,000 according to the 2010 census, and that poor New Orleanians and families with children under eighteen were among those less likely to return. Meanwhile, the Under Tents Campaign reports that 400,000 Haitians remain homeless in displacement camps where they face gender-based violence, disease, unsanitary living conditions, and flooding.
Now, like New Orleans families were forcibly evicted from public housing, apartments, and eventually FEMA trailers in the months and years following their disaster, displaced Haitians face eviction from the camps where they have been living since 2010. The threat of eviction exists despite the lack of affordable housing options elsewhere, and despite the fact that President Michel Martelly's relocation plan helped only 5% of the internally displaced population access rental housing via a limited rental stipend.
Strong organizing for housing justice is another thing post-Katrina New Orleans and post-earthquake Haiti have in common. In response to the threat of eviction and the dire need for affordable housing options, Haitian grassroots housing activists formed the umbrella coalition called Force for Reflection and Action on Housing (FRAKKA). FRAKKA demands that "the Haitian Government immediately halt all forced evictions until public or affordable housing is made available. The Haitian Government must, with the support of its allies and donor governments in the U.S., Canada, and Europe move quickly to: 1) designate land for housing; 2) create one centralized government housing institution to coordinate and implement a social housing plan; and 3) solicit and allocate funding to realize this plan."
The Under Tents campaign launched a petition on Monday to support the call for affordable housing in Haiti by putting pressure on the Haitian government, as well as international powers like the United States that often control the flow of resources to Haiti.

How to Copy and Paste in Windows 10.
Copy & Paste is a way of duplicating a file (a document, picture, video etc), and then placing the file somewhere else on your computer.
For example, if you wanted to put some pictures onto a USB stick, but still keep them on your computer, you'd Copy and Paste them to the USB stick.
How to Copy and Paste.
 Add a header to begin generating the table of contents
 Home » Free Computer Course. » How To Copy And Paste In Windows 10.
 How to Copy & Paste.
 To see how Copy and Paste works, we'll use the example of copying a single picture to a USB drive.
 It's the kind of common thing that many of us will want to do from time to time.
 How to Copy.
 The first thing you need to do is to find the file (picture) that you want to copy.
 Navigate to the folder where your picture is located.
 In this first example, it's going to be in your Pictures folder.
 If you're not sure about finding your files click At Home Computer Guide to Navigating Your PC.
 Once you've found your picture, select it by left-clicking on it once.
 A highlight will appear around the file to indicated that it has indeed been selected.
 With the file selected, right-click on it, and the options menu will open.
 Left-click on the word COPY.
 Windows 10 won't give you any indication that it has done anything. All that seems to happen is that the options menu disappears.
 There is also a keyboard shortcut to copy selected items, CTRL (Control) and the letter C.
 How to Paste.
 With the file copied, you now need to navigate to the folder where you want to put (or place) the file.
 Placing the file is called pasting. You're said to Paste the file.
 Navigate to the folder or drive where the file is to be pasted.
 In the left-hand panel, find and left-click once on your USB drive.
 In the main panel, right-click on a bit of free space to open the options menu.
 On the options menu, left-click once on the word PASTE.
 Your file will appear.
 If it's a large file, maybe a video, it may take a little time to transfer.
 Or you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL (Control) and the letter V. V for Paste, erm, we'll come back to that
 When you use Copy & Paste, what you're doing is telling your computer to make a duplicate (copy) of the selected file/files and then to transfer that duplicate (paste) into the location that you've specified.
 It's a duplicate file.
 When you're copying & pasting files and/or folders, it's important to remember that you're not moving a file/folder as such.
 You are creating an exact duplicate. The original file stays where it is.
 So using the example above, you'd now have two versions of the same picture.
 The original, which remains in your Pictures folder, and the duplicated (or copied) version that is on your USB stick.
 Copy and Paste multiple files/folders.
 As well as using Copy & Paste on single files, you can also use it on multiple files and entire folders.
 Another thing to note. is that the files really don't have to be the same type of files. For example, you can select and copy and paste images, documents and videos all at the same time.
 As an example, let's say you're tidying up your Desktop.
 The first thing to do is to select all the files and folders.
 To do that, hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard and then left-click once on each item.
 You can see what's been selected because a highlight will appear around the file/folder.
 In the image above the highlight appears very faint, but it is there. On your own computer, it should show a little bolder.
 With everything selected, right-click on one of the items.
 It doesn't matter which one you right-click on, but you do have to click directly onto one of them.
 The options menu will appear and now it's exactly the same as copying a single file.
 Left-click COPY.
 Or CTRL + C on your keyboard.
 Again, Windows won't give you any indication that the files and folders have been copied. All that happens when you click COPY is that the options menu disappears.
 Navigate to the folder/drive where you want to place the items.
 In this example, that would be your Documents folder, so left click File Explorer on your Taskbar.
 Or use the keyboard shortcut Windows key + E.
 And then click Documents in the left-hand panel.
 In the main panel, right-click in a bit of free space (not touching anything else) to open the options menu and then left-click PASTE.
 If you're struggling to find some free space to right-click, use the keyboard shortcut CTRL (Control) and the letter V.
 Again it might take a little while for your selected items to be pasted into place, it all depends on the size of the files/folders and the speed of your PC.
 Copy & Paste into a new folder.
 When you're pasting files/folders, you can also create a new folder for them at the same time.
 Handy to know when you're organising your pictures or documents.
 Let's say you wanted to Copy & Paste your holiday pics onto a USB stick, but you wanted to keep them all together in a folder on the stick.
 Select and Copy all your pictures just as above.
 Navigate to your USB drive.
 To create a folder to put your pictures into, right-click on the main panel in a bit of free space to open the options menu.
 Move your pointer onto the word NEW. A second menu appears, left-click FOLDER.
 A "New Folder" appears. Give the folder a name.
 Alternately you could use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + Shift + N to create your New Folder.
 We covered creating folders here How To Create Name Rename And Delete Folders
 With your folder suitably named, right-click on it, then left-click PASTE.
 Is the copy the same as the original?
 In a word, yes it is. Whether you're copying pictures, videos music or whatever, the copied version of the file is exactly the same as the original version.
 That's because of the way in which computers store data (files).
 Take a look at the image opposite. It's a work of art, and as such, can't be replicated. At least not on canvas.
 In our human world, it's generally the case that the original is better than the copy.
 Once the image has been digitised, stored on a computer, it's no longer paint and canvas.
 It's ones and zeros. That's how computers store all your files.
 So what we humans see as a picture, what the PC sees is a series of ones and zeros (bits).
 So when a computer copies a file, it simply makes a note of the ones and zeros and the order in which they appear.
 We've got an At Home Computer Guide about how computers store data here How Does a PC Store Data
 Copy & Paste is just one of those things that you'll need to do on your computer on a regular basis. It's how you can move files and folders around with ease.
 Windows 10 is packed with keyboard shortcuts, most of which you'll rarely need, but CTRL + C for Copy and CTRL + V for Paste are two that you really do want to take the time to learn.
 PS. Why V for Paste? That's easy to answer. CTRL + P is already taken, it tells the computer to print. So why use the letter V? It's next to the letter C on your keyboard.

 Next we're going to look at Cut and Paste. Almost the same, but different.
