There is a well known correspondence between line bundles over curves and divisors. For each line bundle, consider a rational section, take poles and zeros and we have a corresponding divisor (up to linear equivalence ). But what if there is no such section? For example, consider a line bundle over $\mathbb{P}^1$ with transition function $e^{1/z}$ with $z \neq 0,\infty$. What is the degree of this line bundle?

The transition function is holomorphic at $\infty$ so the line bundle is trivial. – Torsten Ekedahl Jul 20 '11 at 6:33
Dear Torsten, your argument is a little incomplete. After all, the non-trivial bundle $\mathcal O(k)$ for $k>0$ has as transition function $1/z^k$, which is holomorphic at $\infty$. The crucial point is that indeed $e^{1/z}$ is holomorphic but also that it has neither zeros nor poles on $\mathbb P^1\setminus 0$. – Georges Elencwajg Jul 20 '11 at 8:59
Dear Georges, yes I forgot to say that it and its inverse are holomorphic at $\infty$. – Torsten Ekedahl Jul 20 '11 at 14:15

Here is the way you get a non-vanishing holomorphic section which will trivialize your line bundle.
Denote $U_1=\{[x:y]; x\neq 0 \}$ and $U_2=\{[x:y]; y\neq 0\}$, this is a covering of $\mathbb P^1$. The transition function of the bundle is $g_{12}([x:y])=e^{y/x}$ (you could also take $e^{x/y}$, this wouldn't change the argument), defined on $U_1 \cap U_2$.
Then you may defined the following holomorphic functions: on $U_1$, you put $s_1([x:y]):=e^{y/x}$ and on $U_2$, $s_2([x:y]):=1$. Thus $s_1$ and $s_2$ are non-vanishing holomorphic functions, and on $U_1 \cap U_2$, you have $s_1=g_{12}s_2$ so that they form a section of our line bundle.
EDIT: In particular the degree of the line bundle is 0!
Moreover, on a Riemann surface (or more generally on any smooth projective complex variety), any line bundle admits a meromorphic section, so that the correspondence your are talking about still holds.

As several people have pointed out, your example has degree $0$. Another way to see this is to observe that given a section, the number of zeros minus poles in both hemispheres is a difference of two winding numbers. This would work out to $(1/2\pi i)\int_\gamma d\log g_{12}$, where $\gamma$ is the equator and $g_{12}$ is the transition function (as in Henri's answer). In fancier terms, this is the first Chern number. In your example, this works out to $0$ (again). For $\mathbb{P}^1$, the degree is the sole invariant.

Towards a social-ecological resilience framework for coastal planning
Research output: Contribution to journal › Article
It is increasingly recognised that designing and implementing adaptive land management and development policies for the coastal zone requires an interdisciplinary and integrated approach. Yet, integrative thinking and action often remain problematic due to the competing interests and ambitions involved in coastal zone planning and management and the legacy of established development on the coast. This paper presents a developmental timeline to critically consider institutional responses to coastal development and seeks to locate contemporary challenges, such as climate change, in the context of a new environmental determinism. The argument is put forward that securing a shared understanding of development conditions and risks needs to be predicated on creating more robust conditions for interaction and fostering a sounder appreciation of the inter-dependencies of natural processes and governance. The concept of resilience is critically explored in order to consider a normative analytical framework for facilitating social learning and developing a reciprocal understanding of social-ecological dynamics that offers a spectrum of resilience options. This is illustrated in the context of coastal geomorphological processes and Process-Defined Management Units. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

As I iterate through the rows of a mysql table, there are 2 values in each table (x,y) that I need to see what interval those two values fall between.
For example if x=-21.1 and y=52.4, x would be in the -30..-20 interval and y would be in the 50..60 interval.
So based on these intervals, I would have a hash or something containing that interval combination (-30..-20 and 50..60) and increment it by one. Then I would go through the rest of the rows in the mysql table and do the same so I have a count of all occurances of the interval combinations.
There will be 36X36 combinations (interval -180..180, divided in 10s). I think this is supposed to be done by using multidimensional hashes, but I'm not sure. Can anyone help me out?

Thousands of physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and students have benefitted from the "ethical lens" provided by the ethics column written by Nancy Kirsch, PT, DPT, PhD, FAPTA, and published in PT in Motion. This series of ethics articles was a constant reminder to the physical therapy community about the ethical dimension of physical therapy practice in every setting. Ethical issues in physical therapy range from relatively simple challenges of courteous professional behavior and communication to vexing dilemmas between competing ethical obligations and confusing situations of moral ambiguity.
Dr. Kirsch's ongoing work through publication and professional presentations has elevated our profession's understanding of ethical issues in physical therapy. This new book continues this "moral dialogue" with the physical therapy community. The case studies draw on Dr. Kirsch's wealth of professional experience and wisdom gained as a practitioner, educator, and leader in physical therapy. The importance of case deliberation in the development of moral reasoning skills has been wellestablished; and this book can be an important tool for students and practitioners in honing ethical reasoning skills. Dr. Kirsch's ability to create real-life, practical, and engaging cases will be appreciated by students, educators, and clinicians frustrated by hypothetical cases that may miss the mark. I have no doubt that this book will become a trusted professional resource for students, educators, and practitioners confronting ethical issues in daily practice.

Dynamically populating list of expand clause based on navigation property name
The general approach for fetching a parent and its child entity data in a single OData call is by implementing GET_EXPANDED_ENTITY method of the Data Provider Class. This involves explicitly specifying which child entities can be retrieved along with parent entity through hard-coding of the navigation properties in the method implementation. This requires populating the data in the nested properties of the parent structure carrying the same name as navigation property names and then adding the navigation's to standard exporting parameter ET_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES to inform the framework that the expand clause has already been catered by custom implementation and there is no need to call the child entity sets.
In OData project the 3 entities (FormulaHeader, FormulaTerm and FormulaComponent) are modeled as below:
Entity 1: FormulaHeader
Entity 2: FormulaTerm
Entity 3: FormulaComponent
Association 1: FormulaHeader -> FormulaTerm (1:N)
Association 2: FormulaTerm -> FormulaComponent (1:N)
Navigation 1: FormulaTermSet (between FormulaHeader and FormulaTerm)
Navigation 2: FormulaComponentSet (between FormulaTerm and FormulaComponent)
This OData call would return FormulaHeader data for its specified key fields (DealGUID and FormulaGUID), its corresponding child entities FormulaTermSet and FormulaComponentSet in a single Gateway call through GET_EXPANDED_ENTITY method.
The main point here that needs to be taken care is that we need to tell the Gateway framework that we have expanded the FormulaHeader, FormulaTerm and FormulaComponent entities in a single entity set call and there is no need to call the child entity set to fetch the Formula Terms and Formula Component data. We can do this using parameter ET_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES of GET_EXPANDED_ENTITY and append both the Navigation Property Name(FORMULATERMSET and FORMULATERMSET/FORMULACOMPONENTSET) in this exporting parameter, which will tell the gate way framework that the child entities have already been expanded and there is no need to call the child entity sets.
In this blog I provide an alternative approach where I dynamically generate and append the navigation property names in ET_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES through recursion.
The below call of method GET_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES is implemented in the GET_EXPANDED_ENTITY method of the data provider class.
 ir_expand = ir_expand
 it_children = ir_expand->get_children( )
 ct_expanded_tech_clauses = et_expanded_tech_clauses ).
Logic for the above method is as follows:
 1. Loop at all the child entities of the calling URL.
 2. Check if the calling entity has a parent or not.
 3. If it doesn't have a parent e.g. in our case the 1st call to this method would not have a parent so only FORMULATERMSET would be appended as child entity's navigation property name).
 4. If it has a parent e.g. in our case the 2nd call to this method would have parent as FORMULATERM for child entity FORMULACOMPONENT, so in that case parent's navigation property name(FORMULATERMSET) and child entity's navigation property name FORMULACOMPONENTSET would be appended to CT_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES.
Above scenario explained with screenshots:
For the above scenario, when the specified URL is executed, GET_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES method is called from the GET_EXPANDED_ENTITY method.
For the 1st call from GET_EXPANDED_ENTITY method, the call is for FormulaHeader to get its children and navigation property names.
In this case, the parent is blank and FORMULATERMSET is its child entityset with FORMULATERMSET as its navigation property name.
Thus, in the 1st call FORMULATERMSET is added in field CT_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES.
For the 2nd call of GET_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES method(as it is recursive in nature), the call is for FormulaTerm to get its children and navigation property names.
In this case, the parent is FORMULATERMSET and FORMULACOMPONENT is its child entityset with FORMULACOMPONENTSET as its navigation property name.
Final result in CT_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES is as follows:
As this method is being called in recursion, during the second call the parent entity is FORMULATERM and FORMULACOMPONENTSET is its child entityset.
The implementation of GET_EXPANDED_TECH_CLAUSES method can handle navigation of multi-level child entities as it is recursive in nature.
Also, the main advantage of this approach is that no hard-coding of the navigation property names and entities are involved. And it can cater to all entities and its child entities without any entity specific logic.
 - Hi Sumita,
 Nice way to get things happen dynamically.
 I generally use other approach using standard utility, do you have any idea on fallback for below approach.
 DATA: lo_tech_request TYPE REF TO /iwbep/cl_mgw_request.
 lo_tech_request?= io_tech_request_context.
 DATA(lv_expand) = lo_tech_request->/iwbep/if_mgw_req_entityset~get_expand( ).
 SPLIT lv_expand AT ',' INTO TABLE et_expanded_tech_clauses.
 - Hello Tarun,
 This approach also works. I tried the above approach for a few scenarios and it works for all.
 Thanks for providing an alternative solution.

Both a live backup and a transaction log mirror provide a secondary copy of the transaction log. However, there are several differences between using a live backup and using a transaction log mirror:
In general, a live backup is made to a different computer By running the Backup utility on a separate computer, the database server does not do the writing of the backed up log file, and the data transfer is done by the SQL Anywhere client/server communications system. Therefore, the performance impact is decreased and reliability is greater.
Running a transaction log mirror on a separate computer is not recommended. It can lead to performance and data corruption problems, and stops the database server if the connection between the computers fails.
A live backup provides protection against a computer becoming unusable Even if a transaction log mirror is kept on a separate device, it does not provide immediate recovery if the whole computer becomes unusable. You could consider an arrangement where two computers share access to a set of disks.
A live backup may lag behind the database server A transaction log mirror contains all the information required for complete recovery of committed transactions. Depending on the load that the database server is processing, the live backup may lag behind the transaction log mirror and may not contain all the committed transactions.

Message Queue for MQTT allows an Alibaba Cloud account to authorize Resource Access Management (RAM) users to use the topic resources, which prevents risks caused by exposing the AccessKey pair of the Alibaba Cloud account. Only authorized RAM users are allowed to manage resources in the Message Queue for MQTT console and deliver and subscribe to messages through SDKs and API operations.
Note Message Queue for MQTT Cross-account authorization is not supported.
Application scenarios
Enterprise A has purchased Message Queue for MQTT services: the employees of enterprise A need to perform operations on the resources involved in these services, such as instances, topics, and Group resources. For example, some employees are responsible for creating resources, some are responsible for publishing messages, and some are responsible for subscribing to messages. Employees with different roles require different permissions.
The scenario is described as follows:
 - For security reasons, enterprise A does not want to disclose the AccessKey pair of its Alibaba Cloud account to employees. Instead, enterprise A prefers to create different RAM users for the employees and grant different permissions to these users.
 - A RAM user can only use resources under authorization. Resource usage and costs are not calculated separately for that RAM user. All expenses are billed to the Alibaba Cloud account of enterprise A.
 - Enterprise A can revoke the permissions granted to RAM users and delete RAM users at any time.
In this scenario, the Alibaba Cloud account of enterprise A can allow fine-grained separation of permissions on resources to be operated by employees.
 1. Create a RAM user by using the Alibaba Cloud account of enterprise A.
 For more information, see Create a RAM user.
 2. (Optional) Create custom policies for the RAM user as needed.
 For more information, see Create a custom policy.
 Currently, Message Queue for MQTT supports permission setting for instances, topics, and groups. For more information, see Policies.
 3. Grant permissions to the RAM user with the Alibaba Cloud account of enterprise A.
 For more information, see authorize a RAM user.
What to do next
After creating a RAM user with an Alibaba Cloud account, you can distribute the logon name and password of the RAM user or AccessKey pair information to other employees. Other employees can log on to the console or call an API operation with the RAM user through the following steps.
 - Console logon
 1. Open the RAM user logon portal in the browser.
 2. On the RAM user logon page, enter the RAM user name and click Next, enter the RAM user password, and then click Log on.
 Note The RAM user name is in the format of <$username>@<$AccountAlias> or <$username>@<$AccountAlias> <$AccountAlias> is the account alias. If no account alias is set, the value defaults to the ID of the Alibaba Cloud account (primary account).
 3. On the RAM User Center page, click products with permissions to access the console.
 - Call an API operation with the RAM user's AccessKey
 Use the AccessKey ID and AccessKey Secret of the RAM user in the code.

The facing heaven pepper (Capsicum annuum var. conoides; Chinese name: 朝天椒; pinyin: cháotiānjiāo, also known as 指天椒; pinyin: zhǐtiānjiāo meaning'skyward-pointing chili pepper'), is a cone-shaped, medium-hot chili pepper, between 3 and 6 cm in length, 1 to 2 cm in diameter at the base, and with very thin skin.
A cultivar commonly used in Sichuan cuisine, it is called the facing heaven pepper because the pepper grows with the fruit pointing upwards, rather than downwards, as is normal in other pepper plants. The plant's upright growing habit is typical of "ornamental" peppers.
Because of its attractive appearance, the dried chili is often added to dishes whole. Although the chilli is often too hot to be consumed raw, it can be lightly cooked in oil to produce a milder equivalent.
This dried chili pepper is described as a "pantry staple" in the Sichuan province of China by Fuchsia Dunlop in her cookbook Land of Plenty. She describes it as very fragrant and moderately hot (much less hot than tiny Thai chilies).

Excel to Google Earth, from UTM coordinates
Let's see the case:
I have gone to the field to build a property, as shown in the following table and I want to visualize it in Google Earth, including a couple of photos that I have taken
The genius of the template is that of only one:
 - Converts the UTM coordinatesTo Geographic in decimal format, as it is what Google requires
 - Allows you to set the name of the destination file
 - Lets name the layer of kml
 - Rewrite existing file, even if it is already generated
 - It allows to use html tags in the description, such as images, hyperlinks, etc.
Excel to google earth UTM
The template is ready for the spheroid to be selected, we know that for Google Earth we must choose WGS84.
 - In the first column we enter the data that Google will show as Label.
 - In the next two the UTM coordinates, taking care that our system is configured to use the comma and the point as the decimal separator as a thousands separator. So a coordinate like 599.157,90 is not allowed it should be written as 599157.90
 - In the next column we enter the zone. Just by placing it on the first line, the others will be changed. Although they can be changed manually in case the data were in the limit of two zones. Likewise the hemisphere; in this case I am using data from Bogotá, so I use Zone 18 and the Northern Hemisphere.
 - And finally the description, which is what we would see when we click on the point in Google Earth.
How to upload these coordinates to Google Maps and then download them to Google Earth
Step 1. Download the data feed template. To use the example we have shown in the images you can download this template.
Step 2. Upload the template. By selecting the template with the data, the system will alert if there was data that could not be validated; Among these validations includes:
 - If the coordinate columns are empty
 - If the coordinates have non-numeric fields
 - If the zones are not between the 1 and the 60
 - If the hemisphere field there is something different than North or South.
The description data supports html content, like the one shown in the example that includes the display of an image. It would still support things like links to routes on the Internet or the local disk of the computer, videos, or any rich content.
Step 3. Visualize the data in the table and on the map.
Immediately the data is uploaded, the table will show the alphanumeric data and the map the geographical locations; As you can see, the upload process includes the transformation of these coordinates into geographic format as required by Google Maps.
Once the icon is released, the points placed on the Google Street View can be viewed and navigated over it. By clicking on the icons you can see the details.
Step 4. Reproject the data. By default the data load is in WGS84, as used by Google. But this functionality allows you to change to another projected coordinate system and refresh the map. As an example, I am switching to Clarke 1866 and see that the vertices are re-projected on the map.
Here you can see the template working in video.
Step 5. Download the Kml map using the gTools service.
You enter a download code and then you have the file that you can view in Google Earth; The application shows where to obtain a download code with which you can download up to 400 times, with no limit to how many vertices there may be in each download using the gTools API. Just the map shows the coordinates from Gooogle Earth, with the three-dimensional model views activated.
Another option: Convert the coordinates to a kml file using an Excel macro
Excel to google earth UTM
Once the tabular data has been filled in, the name of the kml file and the address where it will be stored appear on the right. in this case it appears as C: \ Race 25 X.kml
 - In the lower row we write the name that the layer will have in the kml file, in this case: 25 X Race Survey
 - The result is this: by touching a point you can display the description of the last Excel column.
 - Finally, once we are ready we press the green button, and the file should have been generated.
The result, when opening it in Google Earth is the following. Look at the name of the layer, as we call it, and then there are the points with its description; touching them raises a display of detail. If the objects or labels They are very large, they can be customized in Google Earth by right clicking on the layer and choosing properties.
Excel to google earth UTM
How to add the photo to kml
This is simple, suppose that in the detail of the level bank I want to put the image of the cadastre plate, then in the cell corresponding to the description I write:
Excel to google earth UTMProperty limit, Cadastre-level bank
Similarly, if at the point I have called Photo, I want to place a photo of the facade of the house, the procedure is similar.
 - If you need to insert more rows, make copies of the existing ones so that they go with formula.
 - You do not have to add columns, if you do it can stop working.
 - Requires that you accept the execution of macros when opening the Excel file
 - If it sends you an error message, it could be that the C: directory does not have write permission, you can try another folder like C: \ users \ downloads \ as long as the folder exists.
Utm to google earth Downloads
From here they can download The kml file As it should be.
Downloading the template in Excel requires a symbolic contribution, which you can do with Paypal or credit card.
In case what you have is Geographic coordinates of type Latitude, Longitude, and you want to send to Google Earth, the template is this.
Learn how to make this and other templates in the Excel-CAD-GIS cheat course.
Common problems
It may happen that, when using the application, one of the following incidents may appear:
Error 75 - File path.
This happens because the path that has been defined where the kml file is to be saved is not accessible or there are no permissions for this action.
Ideally, you should put a path on disk D, which has fewer restrictions than disk C usually has. Example:
D: \
The points are coming out at the North Pole.
This usually happens, because in our windows, as indicated in the instruction for the template to work, the regional configuration must be established in the regional panel:
 - -Point, for decimals separator
 - -Coma, for thousands separator
 - -Coma, for listings separator
So, a data such as: One thousand seven hundred and eighty meters with twelve centimeters should be seen as 1,780.12
The image shows how this configuration is done.
This is another image that shows the configuration in the control panel.
Once the change is made, the file is generated again and then, the points will appear where it corresponds in Google Earth.
If you have a question, write to the support email _EMAIL_. It always indicates the version of windows you are using.

They're stopping ActivInspire? (updated 6-20-20)
They're going to stop ActivInspire?
No, but... ActivInspire, the software that many of our teachers use with their interactive whiteboards, needs Adobe Flash player to work with embedded items (see the system requirements; currently it needs at least Adobe Flash 11).
The lastest update to ActivInspire made it a more robust 64-bit piece of software, but it lost some abilities. When Flash Player is absent, there is a potential you may lose some of the special functions. You will be able to write on the whiteboard part of activinspire, but niche functions you rely on may not be there.
In 2017, Adobe announced "we remain committed to supporting Flash through 2020". They have recently announced support will end Dec 31, 2020. This will even impact Acrobat Reader.
If you look at the link about support ending Dec 31, 2020, the FAQ section (emphasis mine):
 1. Will Adobe make previous versions of Adobe Flash Player available for download after 2020?
Adobe Flash has had vulnerabilities that programmers with bad intentions have exploited to cause data to be shared without the user's knowledge, malware and viruses to be installed, and other undesirable actions. The software updates to flash plug and prevent these exploits. If it's no longer updated, it will likely be exploited.
The term EOL refers to End of Life. EOL means no more updates to that software.
You need security updates to keep your computer safe.
The same people who make ActivInspire make Classflow. Classflow does not use Flash player. Classflow can import your flipcharts, so that you do not have to start over from scratch.
If you have a Promethean Planet username and password, you can use that to log into Classflow. If not, you can create a free teacher account.

Let $G$ be an open set on some measure space $(\Omega,\Sigma, \mu)$. Show that the indicator function of $G$ is an increasing limit of a sequence of continuous functions.
I understand that this is a "simple text book exercise". I am only seeking for hints.
My idea (at least in 2D) is that we should construct some smooth trapezoidal-like functions, where the gradients near the endpoints of $G$ gets steeper and steeper.
Am I on the right track? Also, how do I write this out mathematically?

In order to measure the distance to the edge, you could use open balls in the space, since it is measurable. Something like $f(x)=0$ outside and $f(x)=\min(1,\sup\{nr:B(x,r)\subseteq G\})$ on the inside of $G$. – Mario Carneiro Dec 18 '12 at 2:46
1 Answer 1
Every open set in a separable metric space is a union of a sequence of open balls. So start by working out how to write the characteristic function of an open ball as an increasing sequence of continuous functions. As you suggested, this can be done with trapezoidal functions that get steeper in a certain way. The endpoints of the trapezoids need to move to make the sequence increasing...
In the most general sense, a measure space consists of a set $\Omega$, a $\sigma$-algebra $\Sigma$, and a measure $\mu$. Because no topology is mentioned in this definition, it does not make sense to try to prove anything about "open" sets or "continuous" functions in a general measure space. You have to be talking about some class of topological measure spaces for those terms to make sense. In this way, the question is underspecified, because it does not specify what type of topological measure spaces are being considered. In general, whether every open set of a topological space is an increasing limit of continuous functions is a purely topological question, having little to do with measure theory.

Examples of Recursion
Problem : Write the reverse() function recursively. This function takes a string and the length of the string as arguments and returns the same string with its characters in the reverse order.
Problem : Challenge: You're given a piece of memory containing characters divided into two sections, section a and section b, that follow each other in memory, b after a. You are also supplied with the lengths of a and b. Write a function that uses your reverse() function from above to swap the two sections such that the a section follows the b section. This does not require recursion.
Problem : Write a function count_spaces(char *s) that counts the number of whitespace characters that appear in a string. Characters are whitespace as defined by the isspace() function in the ctype library. Write this function recursively.
Problem : Why would a programmer most likely not use recursion for an implementation of the string library?
Problem : Write the function strrchr() iteratively and recursively.
Problem : A palindrome is a sequence of characters or numbers that looks the same forwards and backwards. For example, "Madam, I'm Adam" is a palindrome because it is spelled the same reading it from front to back as from back to front. The number 12321 is a numerical palindrome. Write a function that takes a string and its length as arguments and recursively determines whether the string is a palindrome: int ispalindrome(char *s, int len);
Problem : Write a recursive function void replace(char *s, char from, char to); that changes all occurrences of from in s to to. For example, if s were "steve", and from == 'e' and to == 'a', s would become "stava".


Creative Design Process Tools
August 19, 2019
3 fast tools to help with creative design process
1. Stakeholder Alignment Canvas Exercise:
Before you can design your event, you need to understand who you are designing for. The old saying, "You can keep some people happy some of the time, but not all people all the time" is very true. This four-step process map allows you to think outside of the standard financial and hierarchical stakeholder list and together agree which stakeholders provide the most impact.
Step 1: For 5 min and without discussion create a long list of all the people who could have anything at stake when it comes to the event. Stakeholders can be trivial to fundamental to the events success. Write them on sticky notes and put them on the long list section. As the writer sticks them to the Canvas they vocalise them so everyone can hear them. But no discussion or justification should be given.
Step 2: For 1 minute and without discussion take that long list and plot the stakeholders on the matrix, showing their level of power (can they stop the event from happening) and interest they have in the event (do they want to be involved in its design, do they need certain things to happen at the event for the event to be successful). After the 1 minute is up the team can discuss and debate the location on the Canvas, but for no more than 5 minutes.
Step 3: Stop the debate and ask the team to define and agree upon the overarching aim of the event. In a short statement what is the purpose of the event? What makes it successful. Once that is complete move to step 4.
Step 4: Re-evaluate the Stakeholder's location on the Matrix referencing each against the Overarching Aim. This step will help you be sure the stakeholders belong in the top quadrant High Power and High Interest. These are the stakeholders we design for first because they provide the biggest impact and therefore value.
2. Retrospective Chart
This is a great tool to get the design team's thoughts on previous activations. Allowing everyone to evaluate past activities and understand how they can be improved upon for the future. It is important that all activities during live events provide a return on investment. This simple chart helps align the team on the past and work towards the future.
Step 1: Write on the chart (or sticky notes) all the things that were successful at the event.
Step 2: Write on the chart (or sticky notes) all the things that were successful at the event.
Step 3: For every item plan a next action. Keep, Cut, Elaborate, Refine, Sideline.
3- Brain Buckets – Idea Prioritization.
The best brainstorming outcomes arrive when we put no constraint or feasibility on the ideas. A million-dollar idea that isn't in the budget might spark a five dollar idea that is. Therefore, we always tell people there are no bad ideas and write them all down. However, presented with a huge list of ideas, it can be challenging to sort th
rough them. It is nessecary to evaluate them based on their importance and feasible taking into account time and budget constraints etc.
Step 1: Brainstorm a giant list of ideas (sticky notes) that can solve the event challenges you face. These could be technologies, décor, food or any other elements. Do not disqualify anything because of time, budget or difficulty.
Step 2: Take the notes and plot them on the Idea Prioritization chart or sort them into buckets based on Low Cost/Low Difficulty Low Cost/High Difficulty High Cost/Low Difficulty High Cost/High Difficulty.
Step 3: Discuss as a team which idea/s is the most balanced and which will return the best results for the cost and effort.

The TM250 is the first air traffic monitoring solution for General Aviation which combines Mode A/C, Mode-S, ADS-B and FLARM detection in one single cockpit device.
The built-in receiver decodes ADS-B transmissions from other aircraft. Their relative position is shown on the display together with their horizontal and vertical direction of movement. This allows an instantaneous capture of the traffic situation. Aircraft equipped with Mode A/C or Mode S transponders not broadcasting ADS-B messages are recognized as well, their approach is signalled both visually and acustically. In this case, however, a depiction of direction, altitude or position of these aircraft is not feasible.
In general, traffic data received within the TM250 can be provided via serial interface to external Moving Map systems for subsequent depiction.
The TM250 includes a built-in GPS receiver and can transmit its position data via an additional serial interface to an ADS-B capable Mode-S transponder. Thus originates a complete ADS-B system which can receive and transmit position data through ADS-B and contributes therefore actively to a safe flight.
Nowadays, numerous glider aircraft are equipped with so-called FLARM systems for collision avoidance. Via a serial interface, an external FLARM receiver can be connected to the TM250 which then allows to indicate the position and movement direction of these airplanes on the display of the TM250. If the aircraft does not carry such a FLARM receiver connected to the TM250, other gliders nearby that have a FLARM transmitter are still being detected and indicated on the TM250 graphically and acoustically. This is achieved through a non-directed, raw detection of the signal strength of a nearby FLARM transmitter inside the TM250. In this case, however, it is not possible to indicate the direction, altitude or position of such targets. Also, no transmission to other gliders occurs.

Quick question about a switch statement
After reading the lesson about switch statements I am confused so I set up 2 examples here. In example one if i start it with switch (x) and then have case 1, does that mean if x==1 then it will cout "x is 1" or what? And if not, would my second example work? thanks. And i dont get it what is supposed to be inside switch(inside here). Is it supposed to be the variable or just whatever you want to call the switch??
example 1
switch (x)
case 1:
cout<<"x is 1";

Subject: Re: Matheology § 222 Back to the roots
So, when WM says that a natural number m does not
exist, he may mean that you can prove it exists
but you cannot find it.
Suppose that P is a predicate such that
for every natural number m, P(m) is true.
Let x be a natural number such that
P(x) is false. According to WM you cannot
prove that x does not exist. (WM
rejects the obvious proof by contradiction:
Assume a natural number, x, such that P(x)
is false exists.
call it k
Then P(k) is both true and false.
Contradiction, Thus the original assumption
is false and no natural number, x, such
that P(x) is false exists)
We will say that x is an unfindable natural
It is interesting to note that WM agrees with
the usual results if you insert the term findable.
There is no findable last element of the potentially
infinite set |N.
There is no findable index to a line of L that
There is no ball with a findable index in the vase.
It does not really matter if nonfindable natural
numbers exist or not. They have no effect.
I suggest we give WM a teddy bear marked unfindable.

Canadian Civil Liberties Education Trust (CCLET) is a non-profit research and educational organization created by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.
CCLET's function is to introduce Canadians to the exploration of civil liberties and to help in the development of democratic habits.
Since the early 1990s, the Canadian Civil Liberties Education Trust (CCLET) has developed a unique approach to teaching civil liberties in the classroom. Through the Civil Liberties in the Schools and the Teaching Civil Liberties Projects, which are funded by the CCLET and the Law Foundation of Ontario (LFO), the organization provides free workshops, seminars, and in-class sessions in schools, educational institutions, and faculties of education, educating citizens about their rights and freedoms. The in-school program helps teachers fulfill curriculum demands in subject areas such as History, Social Studies, Civics, and Law.
The value-balancing approach allows students and teachers to examine and debate legal and ethical dilemmas. Students learn to ask questions that may not have easy answers. They practice examining the purpose, effectiveness, and fairness of limits to their rights and freedoms.
"The comments that some students… made serve to confirm the importance of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association [Education Trust]. The topics and methods of presentation were engaging to the students. For some, it was perhaps the first time that they were encouraged to consider… their decision making in relation to civil liberties. I would be delighted to have this program a part of my course syllabus in the years to come."
"Fun, entertaining and informative – students learn a great amount of information on rights and responsibilities in an interactive way – students feel their opinion counts!"
High School Teacher
Thornlea Secondary School
CCLET reaches thousands of students each year in highly interactive workshops where students voice a wide variety of viewpoints. Students discuss issues from Supreme Court cases to the morning's headlines with a civil liberties focus: should a religious teenager be permitted to refuse a blood transfusion? Should police be allowed to use dogs to search schools for drugs? Should a student be suspended for wearing a t-shirt that displays a strong and controversial political slogan?

Americans say "Zee" for the letter Z. Canadians say "Zed" instead. In both North American countries, their militaries say "Zulu" so that radio or telephone messages can be understood clearly. If you're a defense contractor that makes military vehicles, it's important to know you'll receive exactly what you asked for. Elasto Proxy, a trusted member of the defense supply chain, can custom-fabricate thermal acoustic insulation that meets all of your requirements.
In this product overview, you'll learn about two types of thermal acoustic insulation – each with part numbers that begin with Z. So whether you say Zee, Zed, or Zulu, you can count on Elasto Proxy's U.S. and Canadian offices to support the mission every time.
ZTBRA Acoustic Thermal Insulation
- aluminum foil or Mylar facing
- polyester (PE) or polyurethane (PU) open cell acoustic foam
- polyvinyl chloride (PVC) barrier material
- pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) with a special liner
The aluminum foil or Mylar facing reflects radiated heat and provides improved resistance to fluids and tearing. This foil or facing is laminated onto the PE or PU foam, an open cell acoustical material that absorbs the low frequencies common to big diesel engines. The PVC barrier material also helps to block the passage of sound, and provides resistance to liquids and gases such as water and water vapor. The special PSA liner peels easily for ease and speed of installation.
ZTBRA thermal acoustic insulation is recommended for applications where the maximum service temperature does not exceed 300° F, and where there's only short-duration exposure to high heat. For applications that must withstand higher temperatures or sustained levels of heat, Z3T is used. Elasto Proxy can also custom-fabricate insulation sandwiches for other, application-specific requirements. For example, we can supply engine bay insulation that resists water and detergents from wash-downs.
Z3T Acoustic Thermal Insulation
Z3T is a sandwich-like composite that's made of these materials.
- silicone-coated fiberglass facing
- open cell silicone foam
- PVC barrier material
- PU or PE foam
- PSA with a low-density polyurethane (LDPE) liner
The silicone-coated fiberglass facing can withstand continuous temperatures of 500° F and will not deteriorate when exposed to fire. The open-cell silicone foam absorbs higher-frequency sounds. The PVC barrier blocks lower frequency sounds in the 400 Hz to 600 Hz range. The PU or PE decoupler is made of 1/4"-thick foam that prevents the transfer of vibration and sound to nearby components. Without this foam decoupler, metal components would vibrate (and cause sound). The decoupler also improves the energy absorption of the barrier.
Finally, the PSA adhesive and LDPE liner makes Z3T installation cost-effective and easy-to-install. Although Z3T is designed for higher-temperature applications, an expensive high-temperature PSA isn't required. Rather, a commercial PSA that can withstand temperatures up to 250° F may be used. That's because the PSA isn't right near the heat source, and the other layers in Z3T block or absorb significant amounts of heat. The LDPE liner also strengthens Elasto Proxy's Z3T product because, unlike paper, this plastic won't tear when peeled and stretched.
We Speak Your Language
For over 25 years, Elasto Proxy has supplied defense contractors with low-to-medium volume quantities of high-quality rubber and plastic parts. Do you have need thermal acoustic insulation for military vehicles? Are you seeking a supply chain partner whose defense industry experience complements your own? For 25 years, Elasto Proxy has been solving sealing challenges on land, air, and sea.

The first model of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum Personal Compute was introduced in 1982 by Sinclair Research Limited and priced at 279 DM in 1986. It is quite small without its own monitor. It can work alone, but surely you won't know what it is doing. It can be connected to a TV set and cassette recorder. As its name implies the ZX Spectrum produces a colour output video signal. It contains a CPU, 48K RAM, ROM (read only memory) and an ULA (uncommitted logic array) chip.
Its keyboard is quite similar to a standard typewriter's one but each key can perform more than one function. All information stored in its memory is lost when it is switched off. One way of keeping the information for later use is by recording it on a cassette tape which serves as a floppy disk. Presented by K. Lanyi Scott to the Computer Center of Humboldt University, Berlin
Mrs. Lanyi got this first computer of hers from her parents as a gift in 1986. Using it she started learning BASIC. In 1998 when she got her position at the Computer Center much better personal computer had been created and become popular. It was preserved quite well and carefully kept along with two computing course manuals, a useful "Tipps and Tricks " guide and instructions for programming.

If you want to remove a background from a drawing that does not have a clipping path stored, you can do this automatically using the Detect Edges option in the Clipping Paths dialog box. The Detect Edges option hides the lightest or darkest areas of the shape, so it works best when the body is set to anon-white or black background.
Automatically create a clipping path
Automatically cut the path to the appropriate candidate (left) and the inappropriate candidate (right)
Select Import Graphics and choose Object > Clip Path.
In the Clipping Path dialog, select Detect Edges in the Type menu. By default, the brightest tones are excluded; to exclude the darkest tones, you also need to select the Reverse option.
Specify the clipping path option and click OK.
Clip path option
The threshold specifies the darkest pixel value thatwill define the resulting clipping path. By expanding the range of luminance values added to the hidden area, increasing the pixel value from 0 (white)makes more pixels transparent. For example, if you want to delete a very bright projection when using Detect Edge, try increasing the Threshold until the projection disappears. If the bright pixels that should be visible are not visible, the "threshold" is too high.
When the threshold levels are 25 (left) and 55 (right)
The tolerance specifies how close the pixel's luminance value is to the "threshold" before the pixel is hidden by the clipping path. Increasing the "tolerance" value helps to remove unwanted bumps caused by isolated pixels that are darker than others but close to the brightness value in the "threshold". Higher "tolerance" values typically create a smoother, looser clipping path by increasing the range of values around the "tolerance" value, including isolated darker pixels. Lowering the "tolerance" value tightens the clipping path by making the value smaller. A lower "tolerance" value will create a rougher clipping path by adding anchor points, which may make printing images more difficult.
When the tolerance levels are 0 (left) and 5 (right)
The clipping path generated by the collapsed box relative to the clipping path defined by the "Threshold" and "Tolerance" values. Unlike "threshold" and "tolerance", the "inset frame" value does not take into account the brightness value; it uniformly shrinks the shape of the clipping path. Slightly adjusting the "inset box" value may help hide isolated pixels that cannot be eliminated using the "threshold" and "tolerance" values. Entering a negative value causes the resulting clipping path to be larger than the clipping path defined by the Threshold and Tolerance values.
When the trap frame is 0.1 mm (left) and 0.3 mm (right)
Inverting switches the visible and hidden regions by using the darkest hue as the beginning of the clipping path.
The inclusion of the inner edge makes the area existing inside the original clipping path transparent (if its brightness value is within the "threshold" and "tolerance" range). By default, the Cut Path command only makes the outer area transparent, so use Include Inner Edge to correctly represent the "hole" in the drawing. This option works best when the brightness level of the area you want to be transparent does not match any of the areas that must be visible. For example, if you select "Include inner edge" for the silver-rimmed glasses graphic and the lens becomes transparent, the bright frame area can also become transparent. If some areas become transparent and you don't want this, try adjusting the Threshold, Tolerance, and Inset Box values.
Limits the creation of a clipping path in the frame that ends at the visible edge of the graphic. This produces a simpler path when you use a graphical frame to crop the shape.
Using high resolution images For maximum precision, the actual file should be used to calculate the transparent area. Deselecting this option will calculate the transparency based on the screen display resolution, which will be faster but less accurate. If "alpha channel" is selected, this option will not be available because indesign always uses the actual resolution of the alpha channel.
Convert clipping path to graphics frame
Choose Object > Clipping Path > Convert ClippingPath to Frame.

GLIF: Cunning Responds To PSFK Future Of Health Report
GLIF is a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) designed to assist community health workers with medical decisions.
GLIF: Clinical Decision Support System
GLIF is a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) designed to assist community health workers with medical decisions. It would function similarly to the SMS question-answering service ChaCha. By capturing data exhaust, it may also help epidemiologists identify and contain outbreaks in the developing world.
In order to circumvent language barriers and illiteracy, GLIF uses a system of pictorial and numeric communication. Basic information about patient and symptoms ("male / age 3 / yes fever / 72 w / yes nailbed pallor / question treat for malaria / question which medication / question what dosage / question how long") is converted into hexadecimal sequence by a community health worker using a pictographic key, then automatically decoded on the receiving end. The receiver is presented with the question and a list of suggested responses. Suggestions take into consideration such factors as the location of the sender. A response is chosen, sequenced, sent, and again decoded by the community health worker using the pictographic key.
The pictographic key includes a diagram of a human body, as well as pictograms of the most common symptoms, treatments, units of measurement, and medications. The key is designed to be easily transferable and reproducible. For example, it may be painted in freehand onto a wall of a building and still remain usable.
GLIF is not designed to replace the community health worker at the point of care, but rather to supplement her first hand observation and knowledge with the power of the Internet.
A secondary benefit of GLIF is that time and location-based data collection may be used to indentify and contain disease outbreaks and to better allocate medical resources. See Google Flu for example.
PSFK's Future of Health Report shines a light on innovation occurring within the health and wellness space around the world. This document brings together both literal and lateral inspiration to provide a framework within which businesses can begin to contemplate the issues facing UNICEF and community health workers. These issues include limited resources, technological constraints, lack of health education, and limited access to timely and relevant health and wellness information.
In an effort to start this exciting conversation, PSFK challenged advertising and design agencies from around the world to react to the Future of Health report. They were tasked with developing concepts in the form of products, services or communications that addressed one or more of the needs set forth by UNICEF. The end result of this initial phase of ideation is more than 40 innovative concepts.

A walk around Derry's walls reveals a splendid city.
A walk around the walls in Londonderry reveals a splendid city crammed full of history, heritage, interest and a vibrant cultural scene.
Londonderry, also known as Derry is the only remaining completely walled city in Ireland and one of the finest examples of Walled Cities in Europe. The Walls were built during the period _PHONE_ by the honourable, the Irish Society as defences for early seventeenth century settlers from England and Scotland.
The Walls, which are approximately 1.5km in circumference, form a walkway around the inner city and provide a unique promenade to view the layout of the original town which still preserves its Renaissance Style street plan to this day.
The four original gates to the Walled City are Bishop's Gate, Ferryquay Gate, Butcher Gate and Shipquay Gate. Three further gates were added - magazine Gate, Castle Gate and New Gate.
The Walls vary in width between 12 and 35 feet and are the most complete in Ireland and one of the finest examples of Walled Cities in Europe. The city claims Europe's largest collection of cannons whose origins are known precisely. Many of them thundered in anger over the two seventeenth century sieges. In 2005 the surviving 24 cannon were restored, and under expert supervision and often by hand, craftsmen, cleared the barrels of centuries of rubbish, stripped off layers of paint and corrosion and bathed, sponged and waxed the cannon back to their former glory. The cannons are displayed throughout the City Walls with the impressive Roaring Meg located on the double bastion.

An anti-tank mine, (abbreviated to "AT mine"), is a type of land mine designed to damage or destroy vehicles including tanks and armoured fighting vehicles.
Compared to anti-personnel mines, anti-tank mines typically have a much larger explosive charge, and a fuse designed only to be triggered by vehicles or, in some cases, tampering with the mine.
More modern anti-tank mines are usually more advanced than simple containers full of explosives detonated by remote or the vehicles pressure. The biggest advances were made in the following areas:
* Power of the explosives (explosives such as RDX).
* Shaped charges to increase the armour piercing effect.
* Advanced dispersal systems.
* More advanced or specific detonation triggers.
Most modern mine bodies or casings are made of plastic material to avoid easy detection. They feature combinations of pressure or magnetically activated detonators to ensure that they are only triggered by vehicles.
There are several systems for dispersing mines to quickly cover wide areas, as opposed to a soldier laying each one individually. These system can take the form of cluster bombs or be artillery fired. Cluster bombs contain several mines each, which could be a mixture of anti-personnel mines. When the cluster bomb reaches a preset altitude it disperses the mines over a wide area. Some anti-tank mines are designed to be fired by artillery, and arm themselves once they impact the target area.

Japanese Satsuma Pottery Vase
--R.S., RAYMOND, MISS.
This Japanese Satsuma pottery vase is a common example of a decorative item found in many homes. This piece may have been one of a pair. Made in the early part of the 20th century, the vase is in baluster form and has multicolored hand-painted late Art Nouveau-style decoration with moriage, or raised-slip, floral and leaf motifs. The insurance value for this vase is $450.
Valued at: $450
--H.P., LAS CRUCES, N.M.
The Japanese porcelain vase was made in the second quarter of the 20th century. It's very surprising that the artwork is not signed somewhere in the design because of the high quality of the painting. The signature would not be on the base but possibly hidden somewhere in the body of the painting on the vessel.
Valued at: $750
Japanese Moriage Vase
--S.C., WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, OHIO
Note that the vase has brightly colored flowers on one side and plain white flowers on the other. This is a double-sided vase, meant to be placed on the floor with the plain face to the wall. It was made in Japan in the 1920s, and has a moriage, or raised enamel decoration. These mass-produced vases were fairly common household items. However, the large size of this one makes it more desirable.
Valued at: $250
Japanese Pottery Vase
--C.C., SAUTEE, GA
Often seen in even larger sizes, this pair of pottery vases was made in Japan circa 1920. The raised enamel decoration is called moriage. It was shaped and applied by hand, similar to the way in which yellow slip decoration is applied to redware pottery. Vases like these were sold in Woolworth stores, and if they were both in perfect condition, the pair's insurance value would be $350.
Valued at: $125/pair
--A.B., DICKSON, TENN.
Based on your family history, it is possible that your uncle bought this vase in Japan; it is an example of an early-20th-century Satsuma vase, characterized by a buff-colored or creamy beige ground, often with a crackle decoration applied over the glaze. Blue, red, green, orange, and gold were popular colors, and subjects included women, samurai (soldiers), flowers, and birds.
Valued at: $750

New Zealander Wants to Ban Cats as Pets
Economist Gareth Morgan is worried that domestic cats are threatening the very existence of New Zealand's native bird population. To that end, he has set up the website, Cats to Go, which encourages people to think twice about adopting a cat. On his site, he writes "If we are serious about conservation, protecting and enhancing New Zealand's native fauna, even supporting a predator free New Zealand, then we must overcome our denial and acknowledge that we are harboring a natural born killer."
Cats have contributed to the extinction of 9 native bird species and have lead to 33 native bird species becoming endangered.
ANALYSIS: Cats Do Roam, Tracking Shows
The problem is that New Zealanders are cat lovers with a capital "C" and a capital "L." They own 1.4 million cats, more per capita than most other parts of the world. They will be hard-pressed to give up their kitties. But are they willing to give up the unique fauna that populate their island? Morgan suggests that if one really has to have a cat, she can take the following actions to minimize the death and destruction.
 - Get a bell for your cat. They may be less than 50 percent effective but every bit counts
 - Get your cat neutered if it has not been already
 - If you have a cat, keep it inside
 - Overcome your denial, domestic cats are an environmental threat, don't replace your cat

Bring your own bottle
This is a typical 17th-century wine bottle. It has a round body and a long neck. It is made from green glass. The bottle was found in Eltham churchyard.
Early wine bottles
Before the 17th century, people used pottery or leather vessels instead of glass bottles. The earliest glass bottles had rounded bodies like this one. Straight bodies, like those found on modern bottles, only became common after the mid-18th century. Early bottles sometimes have seals on the body which indicate the owner's name and the date.
How were the bottles used?
Nowadays wine is bought in bottles, which are discarded or recycled after use. In the past wine was transported to Britain in wooden barrels. It was stored in these barrels at the wine merchant. If you wanted to buy some wine, you brought your own jug or bottle to the wine merchant and he filled it for you. Bottles were not thrown away but were re-used over and over again.

Layer 3 VPN Network Model RFC 8299 [RFC8299] defines a L3VPN Service Model (L3SM) YANG data model that can be used for communication between customers and network operators. It assumes that there is a monolithic management system with full control of transport resources. This approach (that is valid for the customer to network operator conversation) limits the usage of the model to the role of a Customer Service Model, according to the terminology defined in RFC 8309 [RFC8309]. There is a need for a YANG model for use between the entity that interacts directly with the customer (service orchestrator) and the entity in charge of network orchestration and control which, according to RFC 8309 [RFC8309], can be referred as Service Delivery Model. In some cases, the control of the network is further expanded into perdomain control. This document uses the L3SM model defined in RFC 8299 [RFC8299], and extends it to facilitate communication between the service orchestrator and transport orchestrator (MSDC), and an MDSC and domain controllers. The resulting model is called the L3VPN Network Model (L3NM).

A framework for developing word fragment completion tasksHuman Resource Management Review (2013)
To broaden our understanding of the person-based phenomena that impact organizational behavior, researchers are increasingly making use of implicit measures. Explicit measures tap affect, attitudes, and self-concepts that are accessible to introspective awareness, which are sometimes unreliable or distorted by response biases. In contrast, implicit measures assess mental content and processes that operate outside awareness. Unfortunately, the ad hoc manner in which implicit measures are sometimes developed is problematic. As a way of improving research on implicit content and processes, we present a detailed and practical framework for developing one type of implicit measure: word fragment completion tasks. Such tasks have been successfully used to measure a variety of individual difference variables in previous organizational research. Our framework draws on previous research and well understood psychometric principles to describe a process for creating reliable and valid word fragment completion tasks.

At WMed, we recognize and encourage the continuous expression, development, and representation of the uniqueness of all individuals. Inclusiveness is defined as valuing diversity and fostering respect for all individuals and points of view without judgment, bias or stereotype. WMed is committed to fostering an environment that is inclusive, trusting, open and draws upon the collective strength of the diversity of our students, residents, fellows, faculty, and staff. We are dedicated to a culture that facilitates the increased understanding of – and appreciation for – the diverse backgrounds, inherent worth and dignity of each and every individual. We strive to promote and recognize the strength that comes from individuals working together to achieve worthy goals and the medical school seeks always to remove any barriers that may exist to achieving our culture of inclusiveness.
WMed is committed to fostering a learning environment that:
- Values diversity and inclusiveness as being integral to the humanistic practice of medicine, an enriched educational environment, discovery and scholarship that addresses the needs of diverse communities, and meaningful community service
- Welcomes a diverse body of faculty, students and staff from all segments of society to enhance the learning experiences of all learners
- Celebrates human diversity and cultural pluralism through inclusiveness, acceptance, mutual respect, and empowerment
- Delivers excellent clinical care with equity
- Appreciates diversity of experiences, perspectives, ideas, contributions, talents, and goals
As part of that continuous commitment to diversity and inclusiveness, the medical school's Office of Health Equity and Community Affairs has undertaken several initiatives aimed at supporting and engaging WMed faculty, staff, residents, and medical students. Some of those activities – present and future – include:
Active Citizenship: During the first and second year of medical school, WMed students actively work with an organization in the Kalamazoo community to enhance and change the perspectives of those who may be different than us. This can include race, religion, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, education, work experience, and values.
Day of Service: First-year students at WMed get a chance to spend a day in the Kalamazoo community giving back. The organizations where students lend their time are those that serve and contribute to the underserved or underrepresented. Students value the experience and say it helps them gain knowledge about individuals who come from different backgrounds and it helps develop a keen awareness of the different patient populations they will serve and provide care to as physicians.
Minority Association of Pre-Med Students at WMU (MAPS): The Minority Association of Pre-Med Students at WMU is an organization committed to creating a supportive network for underrepresented premedical students and increasing the number of culturally and socially competent physicians. Students interact with physicians and medical students and hear from those who have walked the "walk." Students also gain more knowledge from current medical students and the their journey to become a physician.
Health Summit: The inaugural Health Summit will be held in 2017 at WMed's W.E. Upjohn M.D. Campus. The event will include objectives and break-out sessions on several topics, including promoting social justice, understanding people's life experiences, community resources and understanding implicit bias, among others.
Pipeline programs: The mission of WMed's pipeline programs for second graders and 10th graders from Kalamazoo Public Schools is to foster a platform for medical students to teach and design interactive learning experiences to help the younger students develop leadership, team-building and problem-solving skills.
The Early Introduction to Health Careers (EIH) initiative is led by students with a passion for addressing the educational achievement gaps that present a barrier to diversity in health professions.
Part of our efforts at WMed include working with elementary and high school students of disadvantaged backgrounds in Kalamazoo to foster science and health career aspirations through an innovative mini-medical school curriculum designed by WMed students, who also act as mentors for the program.

Background The Dade Behring Syva(R) EMIT (enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique) method for the measurement of tacrolimus in whole blood was evaluated against the Abbott IMx(R) microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA) method. EMIT measures tacrolimus colorimetrically, whereas MEIA measures the analyte using fluorimetry. Both methods incorporate a protein precipitation step prior to measurement.
Method Whole blood specimens were treated by two types of precipitation technique followed by analysis for tacrolimus by either MEIA or EMIT on the Bayer Advia 1650. Linearity and precision were assessed and correlation analysis performed to evaluate the EMIT assay on the Bayer Advia 1650.
Results The EMIT tacrolimus assay was linear over the concentration range 0.0-22.0 mug/L; the limit of detection was 1.2 mug/L. Correlation between the Syva EMIT and IMx tacrolimus assays was excellent (r=0.959) and no significant bias existed between the two methods (mean difference, delta = 0.221 mug/L). Calibration data for the EMIT assay was stable for a period of 24-48 h on the Advia between runs.
Conclusion The Syva EMIT assay for the measurement of tacrolimus in whole blood is suited for daily routine use on the Bayer Advia 1650.


Victory: Anti-Transgender Student Bill Dies in Wisconsin Legislature
February 19, 2016 • 8:35 pm
MADISON – Wisconsin lawmakers quietly adjourned the legislative session yesterday without moving forward on a bill that would have banned transgender children from using facilities at school that match the gender they live everyday.
Matt McTighe, executive director of Freedom for All Americans, released the following statement:
"Wisconsin lawmakers did the right thing by not moving forward on a bill that would have increased the tremendous harassment and threat of harm that transgender children face in their everyday lives. No state in the nation has ever passed a bill that singles out transgender students and prohibits them from using the correct facilities. Transgender children, like all children, should be focused on their education while at school. As similar bills percolate in other parts of the country, Wisconsin is sending an important message that anti-transgender bills are invasive, discriminatory, and wrong."
Freedom for All Americans provided communications support, digital strategy, and legislative guidance to Fair Wisconsin, generating hundreds of contacts to lawmakers in opposition to the bill.
Wisconsin was the first state in the nation to pass nondiscrimination protections for gay, lesbian, and bisexual people, but lacks the same protections for transgender people. A poll released yesterday shows that 73 percent of Wisconsin residents support nondiscrimination protections for LGBT people.

HIC – High-Income Country
High-income countries are those that have an average income per person above a figure that is worked out each year by the World Bank. For instance, in 2013 the high-income figure was 12,746 US dollars (or equivalent).
He had hiccups (HIC) after stuffing his face with ice cream. He could afford to, being from such a high-income country.
Refer to Mammoth Memory remembering numbers before trying to understand the following:
How to remember 12,746 dollars is the amount high-income countries were based on in 2013:
Try to imagine that after the high-income person finished his ice cream, he went home in a tank.
And in Mammoth Memory's numbers system:
TANK = 127
Then imagine it was rush hour and the tank got caught in a traffic jam.
In the Mammoth Memory number system:
RUSH = 46
When used together:
TANK RUSH = 12746
PLEASE NOTE: This figure is updated every year by the World Bank. As you get closer to your exam you might want to update the figures you will use. We chose 2013 as an example, to show you how easy it can be to remember specific numbers.

I am trying to fully understand the 'catalog' configuration in the
minivend.cfg file. The example given is :
 Catalog simple /home/minivend/simple /cgi-bin/simple /simple
The FIRST parameter (/home/minivend/simple) is the pathway to the catalog
directory? The documentation says it is just a name. Does this line play a
significant role in software execution or not?
The SECOND is the path to what??? The location of the script is what
it looks like, not just a base directory of the catalog, which is stored
away from the cgi-bin space.
The final 'alias' is the name of the vlink program. Fine. Why does the
example in the minivend.cfg file contain the following:
_TAG_ simple /home/mike/catalogs/simple /cgi-bin/simple
This makes it look like the /secure-bin/simple 'alias' should be just for
secure operation.
Could someone offer me a clear explanation of how to use these and set them
up right? Where can I find the info if it already exists.

WHITEHORSE – The Official Opposition is calling on Premier Sandy Silver to build on the work of the Yukon Party and stand up for Yukon families by fighting for an exemption for Yukon from the carbon tax at the upcoming First Ministers' Meeting on December 8th in Ottawa.
In past negotiations with the Council of the Federation and the federal government on Canada's climate change plans, the former Yukon Party government was able to secure language to leave the door open for an exemption in the North. A carbon tax in Yukon would result in the cost of everything going up with very little impact on overall emissions.
"It is clear that families and businesses will see increased costs to everyday essentials such as fuel, groceries, and diapers as a result of the carbon tax," said Stacey Hassard, leader of the Official Opposition. "Currently the recommendations going to First Ministers allows for a potential exemption for the North, so the new government needs to stand up for Yukon families and continue to push for this exemption."
During the territorial election, Premier Silver stated that his government would work with the federal government to bring the carbon tax to Yukon. Although the Premier has claimed the carbon tax would have no impact on Yukoners, a former election candidate stated at a public forum that the carbon tax was beautiful because it was a form of wealth redistribution.
"If the Yukon Liberals are dead set on bringing in this new tax for ideological reasons, it is their responsibility as a government to be transparent about the details of their carbon tax scheme," Hassard added. "We know the carbon tax will increase the cost of everything and the government needs to be upfront with families and businesses about how it will impact them."
- The Canadian Taxpayers Federation estimates the average Canadian household could pay up to $2,569 as a result of the carbon tax
- Several provinces have stood up for their constituents and have shown some success in negotiating with Ottawa for special agreements to reduce emissions in their own jurisdictions.
- Alberta had originally said it would only agree to the federal carbon tax if the federal government approved construction of an oil sands pipeline.
- Further, both Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia have struck accords with the federal government that would allow them to keep coal plants open past the phase out deadline of 2030.


PHOTO: Canadian Fisherman Catches Extremely Rare, Intimidating-Looking Black Lobster
by Madison Miller
As it turns out, there's about 80% of our oceans unmapped and unexplored. This means that there are more than likely undiscovered creatures and organisms surviving right below where we as a society can reach them.
For one fisherman keeping busy at North Lake in Canada, he happened upon an extremely rare sight to see.
Instead of a traditional cherry red lobster, the fisherman caught a rare jet black lobster. The unique color adds a bit of a frightening feeling to the crustacean. It kind of looks like a giant scorpion in some ways, so pulling it out of the water was likely quite the surprise.
As one person commented on the tweet funnily, "Not my favorite of the Marvel spin offs."
While the black lobster is very rare, there are other variations swimming out in the water as well. For example, a split black and orange lobster went viral in 2019.
Where Did the Black Lobster End Up?
According to CNN, a fisherman caught the calico-colored lobster off the coast of Maine. This crustacean is split perfectly down the middle like it was handpainted. The black-and-orange creature is the result of a rare genetic aberration. This means it most definitely did not just end up at a local Red Lobster.
Instead, the fisherman donated it to the Maine Center for Coastal Fisheries. Here it shared a tank with three other rare lobsters — two orange lobsters with what looks like freckles and a dark blue lobster. Both are also incredibly rare.
The odds of catching one of these lobsters is about one in 50 million. This is the same odds as winning a Megabucks jackpot.
Rare Lemur Stolen
It's no secret that there's plenty of animals out there similar to the all black lobster — rare and exciting.
However, there are also many creatures that require protection. This is the case for the rare ring-tailed lemur that called the San Francisco Zoo home.
According to USA Today, a man from California broke into the zoo last year and proceeded to steal this animal. Luckily, the lemur, named Maki, was found safe in nearby Daly City a few days later.
The man responsible, Cory John McGilloway, has recently been charged with one misdemeanor count of violating the Endangered Species Act, which is a federal offense. Now he could be facing a year in prison as well as $50,000 for his crime.
The ring-tailed lemur is defined as endangered as the population of the animal is decreasing.
The El Paso Zoo in Texas also had an issue with a person breaking the rules. In May 2021, a woman trespassed into the spider monkey exhibit. The zoo found out about the incident from a video on social media that shows her under a waterfall trying to feed the monkeys.
The zoo decided to press charges against the woman. Her actions could have been detrimental for both her and the monkeys. The monkeys saw it as an intrusion into their territory.


AssemblyNet: A large ensemble of CNNs for 3D Whole Brain MRI Segmentation
11/20/2019 ∙ by Pierrick Coupé, et al. ∙ 40
Whole brain segmentation using deep learning (DL) is a very challenging task since the number of anatomical labels is very high compared to the number of available training images. To address this problem, previous DL methods proposed to use a single convolution neural network (CNN) or few independent CNNs. In this paper, we present a novel ensemble method based on a large number of CNNs processing different overlapping brain areas. Inspired by parliamentary decision-making systems, we propose a framework called AssemblyNet, made of two "assemblies" of U-Nets. Such a parliamentary system is capable of dealing with complex decisions, unseen problem and reaching a consensus quickly. AssemblyNet introduces sharing of knowledge among neighboring U-Nets, an "amendment" procedure made by the second assembly at higher-resolution to refine the decision taken by the first one, and a final decision obtained by majority voting. During our validation, AssemblyNet showed competitive performance compared to state-of-the-art methods such as U-Net, Joint label fusion and SLANT. Moreover, we investigated the scan-rescan consistency and the robustness to disease effects of our method. These experiences demonstrated the reliability of AssemblyNet. Finally, we showed the interest of using semi-supervised learning to improve the performance of our method.
