I'm writing a game, and I need to simulate a the path of a cannon ball. I imagine I would have the initial velocity vector, and a vector for gravity. Is there a good tutorial on how to do this? (maybe I need to read some high school text books?)
migrated from stackoverflow.com Nov 24 '11 at 21:15
What I would do is learn how to use Cocos2d. You can use a function thats kind of like a timer, it is called 60 times a second by default but you can change this.
What you would do with this is update the x/y position of your sprite (the cannonball image) by a minuscule amount inside this time function, called ccTime.
If your actually looking for the math for the trajectory, here is an amazing tutorial on that
Here is a question on a forum very similar to yours
You show read the basics of the trajectory from where you can extract any equation you need.

How to Benefit from Correct Tariff Classification
In the complex world of international trade, tariff classification stands as a pivotal practice that can significantly impact an importer's compliance with customs regulations. This process involves assigning the appropriate tariff code to goods being imported or exported, ensuring that they are classified in accordance with established guidelines and regulations. The benefits of correct tariff classification are multifold, spanning from financial savings to regulatory compliance and smoother supply chain operations.
By correctly classifying their goods, importers not only avoid penalties but can also save substantial amounts of money. It's not uncommon for importers to unwittingly pay excessive duties due to the improper classification of their goods. A carefully chosen tariff code can lead to a lower duty rate or even qualify the goods for preferential treatment under free trade agreements.
Consequences of Inaccuracy
On the flip side, incorrect classification can lead to non-compliance penalties, border delays, product seizures, or even a revocation of import privileges. Most penalties stem from violations in one of three key areas:
- 1) Improper Classification: This includes accidental misclassification, intentional avoidance of duties, or bypassing admissibility criteria.
- 2) Inaccurate Valuation: Importers who undervalue goods to reduce tax and duty payments face penalties.
- 3) Country of Origin Misrepresentation: Fraudulently claiming preferential duties through false country of origin declarations can result in penalties.
These violations can lead to longer customs clearance processes and increased scrutiny from customs authorities. Import compliance mistakes can cause customs delays, fines, and reputational damage.
It's crucial to understand that every import activity must commence with precise classification. This is not merely a best practice: it's a legal responsibility. Importers need to gather essential information for correct classification, such as a comprehensive product description, details of components or materials used, and the primary use of the good. The latter is particularly important, as some goods might qualify for reduced tariffs under free trade agreements or based on their primary purpose.
Synergy Leads to Success
Correct classification is an important aspect of ensuring compliance, reducing costs, and promoting efficient international trade. The process involves considering various factors and details to make accurate determinations. This encompasses understanding the product, its composition, purpose, and applicable tariff rates. It requires collaboration between experts in both the product and classification domains, as these areas often necessitate different forms of expertise. McNeese Customs & Commerce is capable of imparting the required skills for a seamless and accurate classification process.

Can a new film help solve Canada's 70-year mystery of vanished US plane?
Shortly after noon on 26 January 1950, a United States military transport plane with 44 crew and passengers took off from Anchorage, Alaska. Bound for Montana, the plane enjoyed clear skies as it flew over the rugged landscape of Canada's Yukon territory. Two hours into the flight, the crew radioed a routine check-in. It was the last time the plane or its passengers were ever heard from.
"Whatever happened to them, happened very quickly. It's not like they had engine trouble and they were slowly easing altitude to turn around and go back. They could have communicated that," said David Downing, the head of the Yukon's Civil Air Search and Rescue Association.
The disappearance of the Douglas C-54 Skymaster prompted one of the largest recovery missions ever conducted on the continent. But 70 years later, not a single trace of the plane has ever been found.
"As far as I'm concerned, this is the biggest unsolved mystery in Canadian history," said Andrew Gregg, the director of an upcoming documentary that casts a spotlight on the long-forgotten crash.
Gregg's production, Skymaster Down, profiles both the small group of dedicated volunteers in the Yukon who have continued the search for the plane – and the American families still hoping to find out what happened to their missing relatives.
When the plane failed to arrive in Great Falls, Montana, the Canadian air force quickly assembled a search-and-rescue mission.
By chance, war exercises were planned in the area, so nearly 7,000 soldiers joined in the search. More than 80 planes flew missions to scour the landscape.
Three planes crashed during the mission. All crew survived, but the accidents underscored the dangers of the terrain.
"A lot of aircraft that have come up here over the years have come from flat country down south. So we end up with pilots, not familiar with flying in the mountains. That's led to a lot of grief over the years," Bob Cameron, an aviation historian and author of Yukon Wings.
Cameron was five years old at the time of the search, and still remembers his father coming home each day with news of the search.
The first days of the operation were marred by conflicting and confusing tips from the public.
Recovery teams investigated scattered reports of smoke, explosions and garbled radio signals that spanned nearly 350,000 sq miles. The air force even sent 10 B-29 planes, flying 20 miles apart, to retrace the flight path in search of radio signals, says Cameron.
"I don't know what messages they may have picked up, but it led to nothing," he said.
At the time, officials believed large, high-flying planes – DC-3s and B-17 bombers – were best suited to locating the missing transport carrier.
"The air force were very good at logistics. They could move a lot of men and equipment and airplanes," said Downing, who has flown at least a dozen searches for the plane in recent years with colleague Gerry Whitley, a search and rescue expert with a keen interest in the crash. "But they had no concept of defined search patterns. The pilots and the navigators weren't trained for that."
Instead, Downing suspects soldiers spent most of their time staring through fogged-up windows.
"They did everything they knew how to do at the time," he said. "They just didn't know how to go about it."
The large-scale search continued until 14 February, when the US air force lost its fifth aircraft in three weeks. That plane, a B-36 bomber flying a separate mission, was carrying an inactive nuclear bomb.
"As soon as that happened, all the resources in the area left and the search was declared over," said Gregg. "The families said everything stopped after that. They got no explanations about where the plane might be and what might have happened. They just got the death certificates."
A number of the victims' family members have petitioned the government to begin a new search, confident current technology could produce a breakthrough – and provide a measure of closure.
"There's been no major search at all since 1950. We just want to get the story out there and then see what happens," said Gregg.
Experts believe the plane probably didn't deviate far from its planned route, meaning it could be resting in a landscape frequented by trappers, Indigenous peoples, geologists and miners.
"Unless there's a ravine somewhere that everybody's missed, what initially looks like wide-open wilderness is really well-traveled land," said Gregg.
Amateur investigators have long theorized the plane may have attempted to land on a frozen lake, and crashed through the ice. But no fuel or debris has ever surfaced in any major bodies of water. A recent sonar scan of the largest lake on the flight path by Gregg's team turned up nothing.
Gregg speculates the plane could have veered slightly off course and smashed into the towering Saint Elias range, the highest in North America, where it was buried deep in the ice and snow.
Despite the daunting nature of the search, Yukoners are convinced the plane will be found, ending the territory's most enduring mystery.
"With global warming and ice and snow fields receding, new crash sites are finally coming to light," said Cameron. "But it's still hard for me to understand how it hasn't yet been found. We're talking about a large four-engine transport plane. How can that be a crash site that hasn't been spotted by now?"

Jan Lechoń was a poet who actively used memory motifs in his works. These threads were very often correlated with musical and sound themes. First, this article is an attempt to show how Lechoń constructed specific models of cultural memory, in which musical reminiscences played an important role. Secondly, the text shows a lot of evidence that the main method of building musical and literary dependencies that Lechoń used was the Musicality II specified by Andrzej Hejmej, consisting in treating music as an element of a larger topic. Music in Lechoń's poetry is not always treated as a value in itself. The poet often treats music, e.g. the theme of a concert or playing an instrument, as a pretext to show other content, especially those that are important to Polish cultural memory.

Section Township Range is part of the U.S. Public Land Survey System (PLSS), which is administered by the United States Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The PLSS is a system of land surveying that was created by the United States government in the early 1800s. The system divides land into rectangular parcels, which are then further subdivided into smaller parcels. The PLSS is used to survey much of the land in the United States, including land that is owned by the federal government, state governments, and private individuals.
The following states use the BLM's PLSS and are covered by this Section Township Range map tool: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio (partial), Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming. The remaining U.S. states typically use the older metes and bounds system and are therefore not covered by this tool.

Standard Concentration Curve and Absolute Concentration Determination
A standard concentration curve can be generated for absolute quantitation experiments using increasing concentrations of the "heavy peptide" in the presence of a constant amount of the biological sample of interest. The biological sample of interest, termed "matrix" contains the "light" version of the same peptide and therefore acts as a constant internal standard. For cases where we do not have matrix containing endogenous light peptide we synthesize a non-isotopic version termed "light" and use this as the constant internal standard in the curve. Our typical concentration curves contain five heavy peptide serial dilutions, a blank (no heavy peptide with constant light peptide), and double blank (matrix only) and each sample is run in triplicate for a total of 21 runs. Data from all 21 runs are imported into AB Multiquant Software where a linear calibration curve with a weighting of 1/x is used. Once the calibration curve is generated, the biological samples (unknowns) can be processed, measuring the amount of the endogenous 'light' peptide present in each sample. The "heavy" peptide is added into each biological sample at a fixed concentration and acts as the internal standard for these samples. Using the calibration curve generated above, the actual concentration of peptide in the biological sample can be computed from the ratio of the endogenous peptide (light) to the added internal standard (heavy).

Mar. 16, 2011 For seniors, voting can be difficult: standing with a walker or cane in the voting booth, struggling to read the tiny print on the ballot or trying to punch the tiny button to vote for the intended. Despite the desire to vote, the typical voting process leaves many seniors disenfranchised, particularly for residents of long term care facilities.
A Penn Medicine study of a process called mobile polling -- where election officials register voters onsite, then bring voting ballots to long term care residents and provide voter assistance as needed -- found that nursing home residents, staff and election officials all agreed that mobile polling is better than current voting methods. Not only did the mobile polling efforts guarantee residents their right to vote, but according to the nursing home staff, it also brought dignity to residents. The study appears in the current issue of the Election Law Journal.
"Elections are close. Voting matters, especially in long term care facilities where there are often hundreds of voters eligible to and interested in voting," said Jason Karlawish, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine and Medical Ethics. "Mobile polling effectively provides nursing home residents with assistance but without bias."
Study co-investigator Charlie Sabatino, Director of the American Bar Association's Commission on Law and Aging explained that "Mobile polling is standard in other countries that have been studied, but has not been widely adopted in the United States, despite close elections where every vote counts as well as recent recommendations from the American Bar Association to improve voting practices in long-term care settings."
The study was conducted in the state of Vermont during the 2008 general election, with participation from the Secretary of State of Vermont, Deborah Markowitz, who oversees voting policies and procedures. Medicare-designated nursing homes with more than 40 residents were eligible to participate in the study; a total of 24 nursing homes were randomly assigned to the mobile polling intervention (9 facilities) or performed voting as usual (15 facilities). Researchers were unable to precisely assess the impact of mobile polling on the number of residents who voted, because they were unable to obtain lists of residents from most of the long-term care facilities, even at the request of Vermont's Secretary of State.
According to survey results, nursing home staffers reported being uncomfortable when tasked with the role of helping residents vote using traditional voting methods, especially given concerns for assisting voters too much. The mobile polling system, however, "took a lot of pressure off," according to staff member reports.
To help election officials determine whether individual residents needed assistance, the research team developed a procedure to provide appropriate and effective assistance. For instance, election officials could read the ballot to residents, and if the resident asked questions, the election official only responded with answers written on the ballot (i.e. if a state doesn't list candidates by party, election officials said that the ballot does not contain information about party affiliation so they could only read the candidates' names, before the resident placed their vote).
According to researchers, mobile polling should be considered on a state-by-state, county-by-county basis, auditing existing practices to determine whether mobile polling can be integrated effectively. Election officials need to be willing to perform mobile voting, provide staff to go to nursing homes. In addition, states and nursing homes need to work together to obtain and match resident lists to registered voter lists.

as long as a Single-Figure unit has at least 1 Hit Point remaining, it remains alive and can fight just as effectively as when the unit is fully-healed. In other words, Damage itself has no noticeable effect on the unit's performance.
For example, a Sky Drake has a powerful and dangerous attack regardless of how injured it is -- so long as it is still alive. Obviously, it is much easier to kill a Sky Drake when it only has a few Hit Points left; but until it is killed, its offensive abilities are not affected by any amount of Damage from which it is currently suffering.
Only the "front" figure in a Multi-Figure unit suffers Damage. However, once that figure suffers a sufficient amount of Damage - enough to reduce its Health to 0 - that figure is killed off. When this happens, the next figure in the unit (if any remain at all) steps up to take any subsequent damage. The unit itself is only destroyed once all figures are killed in this way, but each lost figure reduces the unit's combat performance as well, as explained in the article on Multi-Figure Units.
Multiple-Figure Units Edit
- Main article: Multi-Figure Unit
Physical Damage, and the attacks that deliver it, behaves very differently when it is either inflicted by or upon a Multi-Figure unit than it does when inflicted by or upon a Single-Figure unit. The process becomes very complex in these cases, and is explained here in some detail. For a full explanation, it is best to read the article on Multi-Figure Units.
Multiple Figures Attacking Edit
When a Multi-Figure Unit makes an attack delivering any kind of Physical Damage, it will actually deliver one attack per each of its live figures. This is contrary to the game's manual and Strategy Guide, which erroneously explain that Multi-Figure units deliver only a single attack whose strength is based on the number of live figures.
In other words, each of the figures in the attacking unit makes a separate attack on the target. The strength of each of these "sub-attacks" is equal to the unit's Melee Attack strength, Ranged Missile Attack strength, or whatever other factor is appropriate (see table above).
- For example, imagine a unit with 4 Melee Attack Strength and 3 live Figures remaining. When making a Melee Attack, this unit will actually deliver 3 separate Physical Damage sub-attacks (one per figure). Each of these "sub-attacks" delivers 4 Physical Damage points (given the unit's Melee strength of 4).
This is one of the primary reasons why a Multi-Figure unit's combat performance relies so heavily on the maximum number of figures it can contain, and the number it has left at any given time. It also explains why Multi-Figure units can seem to punch well above their weight, though that is a topic to discuss separately (see Multi-Figure Unit for more details).
Again, since each of these sub-attacks is a separate attack of its own, each delivers Physical Damage as per the entire process described above in this article, from start to finish - including all To Hit and Defense rolls as appropriate, as well as applying Damage to the target - before moving on to process the next sub-attack. Thus, while the attacker's potential Damage output is greater, the defender's ability to protect itself is also greater, since it gets to defend separately against each and every attacking figure.
Multiple Figures Defending Edit
As explained earlier in this article, Multi-Figure units also behave differently when suffering Damage, and as explained in this section here, they Defend differently as well.
Each Multi-Figure unit has one figure designated as the "lead" figure. This is the only figure in the unit that will Defend itself, and the only figure that will suffer Damage. To hurt the other figures in the unit, it is first necessary to kill the "lead" figure.
When this figure is killed, something very important happens: the next figure in the defending unit steps up to take its place. Any unblocked incoming Damage in excess of what it took to kill the first "lead" figure is now redirected towards the new "lead" figure, and can potentially kill it too. If sufficient Damage has yet to be inflicted, it can potentially kill all of these figures one after the other.
However, each time a new "lead" figure steps up, it will make a completely new set of Defense rolls, just like the first lead figure did before it died! Therefore, each time a new figure steps up, the remaining incoming Damage can be reduced further and further. Each new "lead" figure's Defense rolls does not diminish - it is exactly as potent as the rolls made by the original lead figure.
The result in the game is that the more figures there are in a unit, the harder it is to kill in one attack. Killing the first "lead" figure is usually easy, but the remaining damage will likely be reduced more and more as it keeps killing figures.
- A High Men Cavalry unit - with all 4 of its figures present - is being attacked by some enemy unit. Each figure in this unit has 3 Hit Points. The unit's Defense score is 2, and it has a mundane To Block score of 30%.
- The attacker makes 7 successful To Hit rolls, scoring a total of 7 hits. Potentially, this should cause 7 to the target, killing two of the Cavalrymen and injuring another ( 7 / 3 = 2 dead figures and change). Of course, given what's explained above, that is actually very unlikely to happen, as we'll see in a moment.
- Once we're done with the hit rolls, the "lead" figure in the High Men Cavalry unit makes his Defense rolls. Since this cavalry unit has a Defense score of 2, the cavalryman may make 2 separate rolls. Each roll has a 30% chance to avert one hit, as per the unit's 30% To Block.
- The rolls are made, but the cavalryman succeeds with only one. This means that the number of inflicted hits is only reduced to 7-1 = 6. This is still enough to kill two cavalrymen, but we're not there just yet.
- First, we inflict as much damage as possible on the lead cavalryman. Since the he only has 3 Hit Points, 3 points of Damage are inflicted on him - just enough to kill this cavalryman on the spot.
- The next cavalryman then steps up to the "lead" position, ready to absorb the remaining 3 that's still pending. However instead of just taking the damage, this cavalryman gets to make another set of 2 Defense rolls! Lets imagine that he rolls well, blocking 2 of the remaining damage points, leaving him to suffer only 3 - 2 = 1 point of Damage. He suffers this damage, which isn't enough to kill him, and with no Damage left to be processed, the attack concludes.
- In total the unit made 4 Defense rolls. 2 were made by the first cavalryman, who failed to protect himself and died valiantly. The second cavalryman then got a fresh chance, making an additional 2 defense rolls and saving himself. Had this cavalryman also been killed, the next one in line would also have been able to make 2 defense rolls, and so would the very last figure if it came to that.
- This method of defense is so effective, that it would require an attack of strength 40 or higher to have any real chance of destroying the entire High Men Cavalry unit in one go! Thus, while seemingly a little fragile and defenseless, even High Men Cavalry display quite some resilience, and will rarely be killed in an instant - at least where Physical Damage attacks are involved.
As mentioned earlier, Physical Damage may be delivered by all sorts of different attacks. Generally speaking, Physical Damage behaves the same regardless of which Attack Type delivered it, at least in terms of the process of applying Damage to the target.
However, different methods of delivering Physical Damage will trigger different immunities possessed by the target (if any). For the most part, if Physical Damage triggers one of the target's immunities, the target's Defense score is temporarily boosted to 50 for purposes of blocking this Physical Damage. In other words, the target will make 50 Defense rolls, which can easily avert all Damage from any but the strongest Physical Damage attacks.
In most cases, the factor that determines whether one or more of target's immunities are triggered is either the delivery method of Physical Damage or its source. In others, specific sub-types of Physical Damage from the same type of attack will cause different types of immunities to trigger.
Weapon Immunity Edit
- Main article: Weapon Immunity
Weapon Immunity is the weakest type of immunity that works against Physical Damage. It is also triggered only in very specific circumstances.
When triggered, Weapon Immunity sets the target's Defense score to 10 while processing the Physical Damage component of the attack. Thus, the target makes 10 Defense Rolls instead of however many it normally would.
Missile Immunity Edit
- Main article: Missile Immunity
Missile Immunity works only when a target is struck by a Ranged Missile Attack, and will temporarily raise the target's Defense score to 50 for the purposes of blocking the Physical Damage component of that attack. This includes the Slingers' Ranged Attacks which are missile attacks.
Magic Immunity Edit
- Main article: Magic Immunity
The resulting effect of triggering a target's Magic Immunity differs based entirely on the method of delivery of this damage:
- When Magic Immunity is triggered by a spell, it basically negates the spell's effect

Location independence is no doubt the future of the work, and being a digital nomad makes us realize this. One has to accept that with all the perks of pioneering comes a whole pot of responsibilities, and becoming a digital nomad may not be easy, but it is worthwhile.
The digital nomads are the modern-day pioneers who have the power not just to shape but to change the way the world works entirely. There is a significant point in caring about the stuff in the pipeline. In a world where location independence is more standard every single day, it is not hard to understand that the responsibilities of this ever-growing group are increasing by the minute.
- Environmental responsibilities
As frequent travelers, nobody could deny that digital nomads have an impact on Mother Nature and the environment that is around them—changing the locations regularly results in a buy-and-throw mentality.
The digital nomads often with their minimalistic lifestyles are not the worst bunch of bananas, however, as every human being has an individual responsibility to keep the planet alive, the location independent entrepreneurs are no exception here.
- Economic responsibilities
As the open-minded world citizens, digital nomads have the power to shape the economies. Most of these people pay rent to the local landlords in low-cost countries or outsourcing half of their business, even lower-cost jurisdictions.
Some people celebrate themselves for paying slave-wages to the freelancers and also evade tax altogether. Outsourcing helps a new middle class in low-cost countries to emerge, and these people could well be the next customers in a couple of years.
- Social responsibilities
Since many of the digital nomads are influencers and often delight followership of thousands of people with blog posts and social media updates, it is also crucial for them to share their responsibilities with their fans and followers.
They should be encouraging the audience to become responsible as well and share with them the things related to offsetting carbon emissions, motivate them to plant a tree, learn a new language or use less single-use plastic. Whatever approach they are into, the digital nomads must make sure to use their influence for a greater good.
- Cultural responsibilities
Digital nomads are independent entrepreneurs, and they do enjoy the freedom to explore different areas of this planet. Despite mostly setting up camp in locations with fast and free Wi-Fi, these people often do end up in places that not many people have explored before.
Digital nomads frequently get in touch with different cultures, and those cultures might not be familiar with their style of living, language, or culture. It is up to them to represent the global group of digital nomads in the very best way possible, to act responsible and respectful.
They should try to make a couple of local friends, join a local sports club, or share their world's traveler's wisdom with those people who are willing to learn. It is never wrong to integrate with the community, but words cause action, and thoughts cause words. Therefore, once you get familiar with the cultures, you become a more responsible nomad.

Electricity bill calculator is an online electric consumption calculator that helps you to calculate the electricity cost of an electric utility in your home. It helps you to calculate the electricity bill to accurately & calculate how much it costs.
Electricity Bill calculation:
For calculating the electricity bills follow the steps,
Step1: First select your country, we have added 9 countries such as Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Philippines, Singapore, United Kingdom, United States and another country. Here other country option helps you to calculate the electricity bill apart from the above said 9 counties. As default United Kingdom will be in the first portion and by click that option you can change the country.

Step2: Select the type of appliances such as Air conditioner, Clothes dryer, Clothes iron, Dishwasher, Electric kettle, Fan, Heater, Microwave oven, Desktop computer, Laptop computer, Refrigerator, Stereo receiver, Television, Toaster oven, Vacuum cleaner, Washing machine, and Water heater
After your selection, the default power consumption in Watts will be added. Also, you can change the value in integer level or W to kW.
Step3: Enter the number of operating hours in a day.
Step4: Enter the cost per unit (one kWh) with your currency. Also, we have given four types of currency such as cent, pence, rupees, and peso. While selecting the country automatically it will fit into it.
Step5: Finally click the calculate button to get the electricity bills on a daily basis, monthly basis and yearly basis. For monthly and yearly calculations, the number of our will be automatically multiplied by 30 as well as 365.
Electricity bill calculation for all devices:
First, you need to find the total electricity consumption, for that you can use your energy meter, by finding the initial and final reading.
Learn More: HP to VA Conversion calculator
Total energy consumption = Final reading – Initial Reading.
Electricity bill = Total energy consumption * per unit cost.
Technically, you can use the below-mentioned electricity consumption formula, Electricity consumption E(kWh) in kWh is equal to multiplication of power P(W) Watts and the Time period in a day divided by 1000.
E(kWh) = P(W) × t(h) / 1000(W/kW)
If your device is rated in kW means, you can use the below formula,
E(kWh) = P(kW) × t(h)
For month calculation,
E(kWh) = P(kW) × t(h) x 30
For yearly calculation,
E(kWh) = P(kW) × t(h) x 365
For hourly calculations,
Remember that 1 kWh is equal to one unit. It means if your device is running with 1 kW for an hour means, your device electricity consumption is 1kWh.
Electricity cost calculation:
The total electricity cost per hour in euro/rupees/dollar is equal to the multiplication of the energy consumption E in kWh and per kWh cost.
Learn More: Watts to kVA Conversion Calculator | Convert W to kVA
Cost(dollar) = E(kWh) × Cost(cent/kWh) / 100(cent/dollar)
Let us take an example of 1.5kW microwave oven operated for 20 hours calculate the electricity bill for the same with per unit cost is 0.15 $.
Use our formula,
Total electricity consumption = 1.5 * 20 = 30 kWh
Electricity cost is,
Cost(dollar) = 30 * 15 /100 = 4.5 $
Hence the totally you have to pay 4.5 USD as electricity bill.
By using our electricity bill calculator, you can get the same results.

Why do I stick out my tongue when I concentrate? © iStock
Why do I stick out my tongue when I concentrate?
The answer won't surprise you when you find out how much brain power that muscle uses.
Much of your brain is devoted to your tongue. It is a huge muscle, constantly moving, that has to keep out of the way of your teeth, help you swallow and avoid choking you. It's covered with densely packed touch receptors that constantly update the mental map of the shape of your mouth. And your tongue is connected to the brain's language centres so it often moves to partly form word shapes as you think.
All this sends a huge stream of data to your brain. Sticking your tongue out or biting it, reduces its movement and cuts down on this torrent, which leaves more brain-power available to concentrate.

Adaptive Noise Canceling (ANC) Applied to Fetal Electrocardiography
This example shows how to apply adaptive filters to noise removal using adaptive noise canceling. The example uses a user interface (UI) which can be launched by typing the command HelperAdaptiveNoiseCancellation. For more details, see 'Example Architecture' below.
In adaptive noise canceling, a measured signal d(n) contains two signals: - an unknown signal of interest v(n) - an interference signal u(n) The goal is to remove the interference signal from the measured signal by using a reference signal x(n) that is highly correlated with the interference signal. The example considered here is an application of adaptive filters to fetal electrocardiography, in which a maternal heartbeat signal is adaptively removed from a fetal heartbeat sensor signal. This example is adapted from Widrow, et al, "Adaptive noise canceling: Principles and applications," Proc. IEEE®, vol. 63, no. 12, pp. _PHONE_, December 1975.
Creating the Maternal Heartbeat Signal
In this example, we shall simulate the shapes of the electrocardiogram for both the mother and fetus. We use a 4000 Hz sampling rate. The heart rate for this signal is approximately 89 beats per minute, and the peak voltage of the signal is 3.5 millivolts.
Creating the Fetal Heartbeat Signal
The heart of a fetus beats noticeably faster than that of its mother, with rates ranging from 120 to 160 beats per minute. The amplitude of the fetal electrocardiogram is also much weaker than that of the maternal electrocardiogram. The following series of commands creates an electrocardiogram signal corresponding to a heart rate of 139 beats per minute and a peak voltage of 0.25 millivolts.
The Measured Maternal Electrocardiogram
The maternal electrocardiogram signal is obtained from the chest of the mother. The goal of the adaptive noise canceller in this task is to adaptively remove the maternal heartbeat signal from the fetal electrocardiogram signal. The canceller needs a reference signal generated from a maternal electrocardiogram to perform this task. Just like the fetal electrocardiogram signal, the maternal electrocardiogram signal will contain some additive broadband noise.
The Measured Fetal Electrocardiogram
The measured fetal electrocardiogram signal from the abdomen of the mother is usually dominated by the maternal heartbeat signal that propagates from the chest cavity to the abdomen. We shall describe this propagation path as a linear FIR filter with 10 randomized coefficients. In addition, we shall add a small amount of uncorrelated Gaussian noise to simulate any broadband noise sources within the measurement.
Applying the Adaptive Noise Canceller
The adaptive noise canceller can use most any adaptive procedure to perform its task. For simplicity, we shall use the least-mean-square (LMS) adaptive filter with 15 coefficients and a step size of 0.00007. With these settings, the adaptive noise canceller converges reasonably well after a few seconds of adaptation--certainly a reasonable period to wait given this particular diagnostic application.
Recovering the Fetal Heartbeat Signal
The output signal y(n) of the adaptive filter contains the estimated maternal heartbeat signal, which is not the ultimate signal of interest. What remains in the error signal e(n) after the system has converged is an estimate of the fetal heartbeat signal along with residual measurement noise. Using the error signal, can you estimate the heart rate of the fetus?
Example Architecture
The command HelperAdaptiveNoiseCancellationHelperAdaptiveNoiseCancellation launches a user interface designed to interact with the simulation. It also launches a time scope to view the the measured fetal hearbeat as well as the measured maternal heartbeat and the extracted fetal heartbeat.
Using a Generated MEX File
Using MATLAB Coder, you can generate a MEX file for the main processing algorithm by executing the command HelperANCCodeGenerationHelperANCCodeGeneration. You can use the generated MEX file by executing the command HelperAdaptiveNoiseCancellation(true).

3 Ways To Profit Through Insurance Billing
Grow your practice, your people, your purpose, and your profit by following this model of taking insurance
The Cost of Billing Insurance in Private Practice
The expenses related to insurance and medical billing has reached $282 billion every year according to the Center for American Progress.
Anyone interacting with the U.S. health care system is bound to encounter examples
of unnecessary administrative complexity—from filling out duplicative intake forms
to transferring medical records between providers to sorting out insurance bills. This
administrative complexity, with its associated high costs, is often cited as one reason
the United States spends double the amount per capita on health care compared
with other high-income countries even though utilization rates are similar.
This reality is no different in the world of private practice for mental health providers. In fact, the Practice Solutions team sees this on a daily basis. In one circumstance, a biller working with a group practice in Michigan spent 6 hours on the phone with a large insurance company in Michigan arguing with representatives about the credentialing status of a clinician that had been in-network for 8 months.
The biller was able to get $4,000.00 worth of claims paid.
Imagine though, had the provider spent that time on the phone with the insurance company.
Here is a list of things that the therapist could have done with those 6 hours:
 - Seen 5 patients
 - Read a book on their preferred method of therapy to be a better clinician
 - Engage in self-care
 - Take a nap
 - Focus on their family
 - Spend time focusing on building their practice instead of working in it
 - Traveling
Each year, health care payers and providers in the United States spend about $496 billion on billing and insurance-related (BIR) costs, according to Center for American Progress estimates presented in this issue brief. As health care costs continue to rise, a logical starting point for potential savings is addressing waste. A 2010 report by the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) estimated that the United States spends about twice as much as necessary on BIR costs. That administrative excess currently amounts to $248 billion annually, according to CAP's calculations.
This is an incredible statistic!
Think about this for a moment: According to Business Insider, the life expectancy of Americans has decreased for the third year in a row. What are the top causes of the decrease in life expectancy?
Here are the top reasons why the life expectancy in the United States has decreased for the third year in a row:
 1. Suicides
 2. Drug overdoses
 3. Alcohol-related diseases
This is quite a counterintuitive trend. A first-world country that spends more on privatized healthcare than any other affluent country in the world is dying at higher rates due to mental health-related causes. The need for mental health providers can hardly be overstated, but one of the biggest barriers to solving this problem is maintaining profitability in private practice by taking insurance and billing private and public healthcare.
Imagine if private practices and healthcare organizations operated so efficiently that they were able to take that $500 billion worth of waste and actually impact the overwhelming mental healthcare need in the United States? We believe that by educating around best revenue cycle management practices that we can see a meaningful difference in people's lives.
Understanding the Biggest Costs of Taking Insurance
The first place to look to understand billing and insurance-related costs is part of the administrative overhead that is insurance premiums and providers' reimbursements. It includes the overhead costs for the health insurance industry and providers' costs for claims submission, claims reconciliation, and payment processing. The health care system also requires administration beyond billing and insurance-related activities, including medical record-keeping; business management; initiatives that monitor and improve care quality; and programs to combat fraud and abuse.
To date, few studies have estimated the systemwide cost of healthcare administration extending beyond billing and insurance-related activities. In a 2003 article in The New England Journal of Medicine, researchers Steffie Woolhandler, Terry Campbell, and David Himmelstein concluded that overall administrative costs in 1999 amounted to 31 percent of total health care expenditures or $294 billion—roughly $569 billion today when adjusted for medical care inflation. A more recent paper by Woolhandler and Himmelstein, which looked at 2017 spending levels, placed the total cost of administration at $1.1 trillion.
At this point you might be thinking, "Okay, this is very interesting, but how does this apply to my private practice?" That is a great question. Thanks for asking!
According to the same study, the researchers found that about 50% of your administrative costs will be billing and insurance-related.
In Figure 2, you can see that providers and hospitals have a significant amount of money going to the billing and insurance-related expenses of their business. You might look at that figure and think that this is a huge problem, but really this is a huge opportunity for you to think about how to improve your practice, your people, your processes, and your purpose.
It is likely that you did not become an expert on human behavior and the treatment of mental health disorders for your own edification, but likely to make a big impact in the lives of individuals and families.
This is a huge blessing to our society!
It is important that we think together about the various ways that you can continue to make a profit and help as many people as possible in your private practice. There are really three ways to take insurance and maintain your profitability in the long-run. This blog is not for the private practice owner that is looking to scale as quickly as possible and then sell their private practice. No, this blog is for the private practice owner that lives and breathes helping people and is looking to build a legacy for their community, their staff, and for their family.
Here are the three ways that we have seen private practice owners take insurance and maintain their fiscal health while helping people at scale!
3 Ways to Take Insurance and Be Profitable
Each of these three ways to take insurance and be profitable have a couple of assumptions.
The first assumption is that you are a provider in private practice that is in-network with at least 1 insurance company.
The second assumption that we are making is that you might be feeling like you are treading water or feel as though you are not making as much profit as you ought to be given your busy schedule and the level of clients that you are seeing.
The third assumption that we are making is that you might have a wide range of processes and procedures in place to handle billing and insurance revenue.
With those in mind, let's begin looking at the three ways that you can take insurance and be profitable in your private practice.
The First Way to Take Insurance and Be Profitable
The first way that you can take insurance and be profitable is to take the smallest amount of in-network payers as possible with the highest level of reimbursement. What does this mean?
This means that you have evaluated the highest paying insurance companies in your area and you are only going to engage with that 1 or 2 insurance companies in your area. This could mean that you are only in-network with one commercial payer and one government payer or just one commercial payer.
What are the benefits to this way to take insurance?
The first benefit is that you are going to automatically exclude a certain number of people that don't have that insurance. This is a tough truth to grasp, but the benefit is that the time you do spend with insurance-based clients will be of maximum benefit to your business. The contrast is that you have lower paying insurance clients compared to a higher paying insurance client. In terms of time, you make less per hour with some clients than others, but this particular strategy means that you are maximizing your time per patient.
The second benefit of this way to take insurance means that you will have less credentialing hurdles as you scale up. Let's say you are starting to want to scale in terms of clinical staff. It is much MUCH easier to credential 10 clinicians with 1 insurance than 10 clinicians with 10 insurances. This benefit can be better understood by looking at the math in terms of individual panels that you credential therapists with.
Let's say you have 1 insurance company that you are in-network with. You have a 1 to 1 ratio in terms of credentialing. If you are in-network with 10 insurance companies, you now have a 10 to 1 ratio, which becomes a multiplication problem. In one circumstance you will engage in credentialing 10 providers 1 time with 1 insurance company. In the other circumstance you will actually be conducting 100 credentialing activities to get 10 clinicians in-network with 10 panels.
Your expenses will obviously increase if you have to engage in 100 credentialing activities versus 10 credentialing activities. If you are a group practice this becomes even more important because the complexity of credentialing and paneling only increases as you grow.
The third benefit of this strategy for taking insurance is that by limiting the number of insurances that you take means that your overall billing processes are leaner and simpler than your counterparts. Remember above that the billing and insurance related costs for a private practice owner revolve around claims submission, claims reconciliation, and payment processing.
By engaging one insurance company on an in-network basis you lean your processes to the simplest common denominator around these three areas. The delays and reduces your administrative burden and allows you to operate as simply as possible.
The downside here is that you limit the number of highly-clinical clients that you take and that can rub against your "why" in getting involved in private practice, which is why there is a second strategy to take insurance and remain profitable.
The Second Way to Take Insurance and Be Profitable

Stretching from Céadaoin an Spiaire to Máirt Chásca, there are enough special days surrounding Easter to give a specific Irish name for each day of the week. Since there are already several forms for each day, aside from Easter usage, let's look at them grouped together in a chart. That will enable us to focus on changes like initial mutation (séimhiú, urú), h-prefixation, and endings (an tuiseal ginideach)
Even for ordinary purposes, each day has at least two forms, one for the day as a subject or concept (like "An Luan," Monday, lit. "the" Monday) and one used to say when something is happening (like "Dé Luain," lit. "on the day of" Monday).
This chart has four columns, the first one giving forms that would rarely occur on their own. For these, I have followed the linguistic practice of putting a réiltín in front of them. It's not that these forms are completely hypothetical (as we might find in historical linguistic reconstruction), it's just that they would almost always be part of a two-word phrase, sometimes an even longer phrase. From this "root," we get the subject form (An Luan), and, by following genitive case rules, we get the preposition form (Dé Luain). Hmmm, you might ask, why genitive case (possessive) rules when using a preposition phrase? It's because "Dé," when preceding a day of the week, functions as a preposition but is really a noun. This "Dé" comes from the word "dia" (note lower-case), which is an alternate word for "day" in Irish, now somewhat archaic, or, we could say, fossilized. This process is much like what happens with "cois" in the phrase "cois na tine," where "cois" (from "cos," foot, leg) is really a noun but functions like a preposition, resulting in the meaning "by the fire" (lit. "at the foot of the fire").
Some of the words in the chart will also be changed if they're in a prepositional phrase starting with "ar an," as in "ar an gCéadaoin" (lit. on "the" Wednesday). Ulster Irish will have lenition in these cases (Chéadaoin).
Unlike "lá," which seems to be unique in the Indo-European panorama of languages (except for Scottish Gaelic "latha" and Manx "laa"), the word "dia"/"dé" is a cognate to other European words for "day," such as "dies," "dydd," "tag," and even "day" itself (plus, less directly, "jour" from Latin "diurnus"). So, somewhat unusually, the word "lá" isn't used in the names of the days of the week. But you probably noticed that already!
The "dia" form of "day" also shows up in the old spellings of the Irish words for "today" and "yesterday," which are "indiu" and "indé."
So here's the chart. Hope you find it helpful. There are additional notes for three of the terms below.
|"Root"||Subject Form||"Dé" Form (w "tuiseal ginideach" ending)||"ar an" Form||Easter Terms|
|*Domhnach||An Domhnach||Dé Domhnaigh||ar an Domhnach||Domhnach Cásca|
|*Luan||An Luan||Dé Luain||ar an Luan||Luan Cásca|
|*Máirt||An Mháirt||Dé Máirt||ar an Máirt, alt., ar an Mháirt (U)||Máirt Chásca (2)|
|*Céadaoin||An Chéadaoin||Dé Céadaoin, or alt., Dé Céadaoine (U)||ar an gCéadaoin, alt. ar an Chéadaoin (U)||Céadaoin an Spiaire, (? Céadaoin Naofa) (3)|
|*Déardaoin||An Déardaoin||Déardaoin (1)||ar an Déardaoin, ar Déardaoin||Déardaoin (na) Mandála|
|*Aoine||An Aoine||Dé hAoine (h-prefix)||ar an Aoine||Aoine an Chéasta|
|*Satharn||An Satharn||Dé Sathairn||ar an Satharn, alt. ar an tSatharn (U)||Satharn Cásca|
1) Although it's not often explicitly stated, "Dé" is not needed before "Déardaoin" because it's already built into the word. Having said that, a recent Google search brought up about 300 hits for "Déardaoin" with "Dé" in front of it! Either the usage is changing, or these are all just slip-ups. Bhur mbarúlacha, a léitheoirí?
2) I noted last year (_URL_ that I found no instances of "Máirt Chásca" being used online for "Easter Tuesday," but, interestingly, this year I found three hits. The three are duplicates (sigh!) and all refer to the founding of the Kilkenny branch of the Gaelic League in 1897. However else the phrase may be used or not used, it's interesting to note this designation as opposed to just saying "April 20th," which was the date of Easter Tuesday in 1897, if _URL_ serves me right. Go raibh maith agat, a Choinín Cásca! An ceann ponc com, that is!
Of course, there is a long-standing tradition in both Irish and British writing of dating certain events by referring to a holiday, instead of a date, as in the réamhráite of "An Fear Eagair," in Myles na gCopaleen's parody An Béal Bocht being written on "Lá an Ghátair" [Day of Distress] and "Lá an Luain" [Day of Doom]. Or, more straightforwardly, the preface to C. S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength, dated "Christmas Eve, 1943." It's not a practice I've seen used much in American literature.
As for the general significance of Easter Tuesday, as noted last year, I still see it listed as a public holiday in just one place, An Tasmáin. There it is described as a "restricted public holiday currently observed by certain awards/agreements and the State Public Service (_URL_ Suimiúil! A New Zealand site (_URL_ discusses Easter Tuesday as a potential holiday for employees of New Zealand Educational Institute, but they must have served 10 years and they must incorporate it into their annual leave. I don't quite get that last bit, but I guess it doesn't really matter. Suffice it to say that Easter Tuesday may have greater recognition elsewhere than seems apparent in 21st-century America. Many American school districts simply make their Spring Break surround Easter and avoid all discussion as to whether the break has anything to do with Easter at all.
3) There are plenty of references to the Wednesday before Easter being called "Céadaoin an Spiaire" (Wednesday of the Spy) in Irish, but for "Céadaoin Naofa" (the presumed form for "Holy Wednesday"), my search online turned up one questionable reference (in a very mixed-up hybrid site) and in dictionaries I found nothing. As I understand it, the term "Spy Wednesday" has been changed to "Holy Wednesday," but I simply don't find much evidence of this usage in Irish and I also can't find an exact year for the change. Vatican II? If it were that long ago, I'd expect to find more evidence of "Céadaoin Naofa" online. Maybe I'm just barking up the wrong tree, but between Google searches, online dictionaries and hard-copy dictionaries, I usually find some evidence of what I'm looking for, vocabulary-wise. Of course, I always try to build on what I've heard and read in everyday usage for years, but I do like to check these sources for more specific information. Btw, I also found nothing under the old spelling, which would be "Céadaoin Naomhtha," but of course, the formal date of the change, assuming there is one, might preclude that. Hmmm. Lenited and eclipsed versions of the above? Amas ar bith! (No hits) and no luck in dictionaries. Sin sin go dtí an bhliain seo chugainn, is dócha.
And, last but not least, a bit of Google-based trivia that some of you may find amusing as I did. When I tried searching for "Máirt Chásca" without comharthaí athfhriotail and without sínte fada, the first hit (of 7,360,000!) that came up was for the K-Mart in Chaska, Minnesota. Wonders never cease! On that bemused note


Crossing the floor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Australian Senate, like other parliaments based on the Westminster system, uses a divided chamber
In politics, crossing the floor is when a politician changes their allegiance or votes against their party in a Westminster system parliament. Crossing the floor may be voting against the approved party lines, or changing to a second party after being elected to a first party. While these practices are legally permissible, crossing the floor can lead to controversy and media attention. As well, voting against party lines may lead to consequences such as losing a position (e.g., as minister or a portfolio critic) or being ejected from the party caucus.
The term originates from the British House of Commons, which is configured with the Government and Opposition facing each other on rows of benches. An MP who switched parties would literally need to cross the floor. A notable example of the latter is Winston Churchill, who crossed the floor from the Conservatives to the Liberals in 1904, before later crossing back in 1924.
Voting against party lines[edit]
The term has passed into general use in other Westminster parliamentary democracies (such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa) even if many of these countries have semicircular or horseshoe-shaped debating chambers and mechanisms for voting without Members of Parliament leaving their seats. In most countries, it is most often used to describe members of the government party or parties who defect and vote with the opposition against some piece of government-sponsored legislation, but that usage is not widespread in Canada, where the term's usage is restricted to the original definition.
Most political parties let their members have a free vote on some matters of personal conscience.
In Australia, one of the major parties (the Australian Labor Party) requires its members to pledge their support for the collective decisions of the Caucus,[1] which theoretically prohibits them from crossing the floor; however, in practice, some Labor members disregard this pledge despite the disciplinary action which may result. Among other parties, crossing the floor is rare although Senator Barnaby Joyce of the National Party of Australia crossed the floor 19 times under the Howard coalition government.[2] Nonetheless, the record for crossing the floor in the Australian Parliament goes to Tasmanian Senator Sir Reg Wright, who voted against his own party (the Liberal Party of Australia) on 150 occasions.
Changing parties[edit]
In the United Kingdom, Canada, and other countries, the term is also used to describe leaving one's party entirely and joining another party, such as leaving an opposition party to support the government (or vice versa), or even leaving one opposition party to join another. In both Canada and the United Kingdom, the term carries only this meaning and is not used for a simple vote against the party line on a bill.
In April 2006, the premier of Manitoba, Canada, Gary Doer of the New Democratic Party of Manitoba, proposed a ban on crossing the floor of the Manitoba legislature in response to "the concern some voters have expressed over the high-profile defections of three federal MPs from their parties in just over two years."[3] The resulting legislation, which amended the provincial Legislative Assembly Act, mandated that Members of the Legislature who quit their political party must serve out the remainder of their term as independents.[4]
An extraordinary example occurred in Alberta, Canada in December 2014 when Danielle Smith, the leader of the official opposition Wildrose Party, and eight of her MLAs crossed the floor together to join the governing Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta. [5]

Question: What Was The First Word Ever Made?
What is the oldest word in the world?
Mother, bark and spitMother, bark and spit are just three of 23 words that researchers believe date back 15,000 years, making them the oldest known words..
Why is bloody a bad word?
What is the oldest swear word in the English language?
Does bloody mean the F word?
Is Bloody a bad word in the UK?
Still, to Americans bloody remains the quintessential British swear word, and one of the only ones they have not adopted themselves (except when they're being pretentious or ironic). Both countries share a fascination with swear words' that reference the male anatomy.
What was the 1st word?
This earliest form of the language was Sumerian cuneiform, which consisted of "wedge-shaped" glyphs. We don't know which exact words came first in this language, but based on example charts showing the evolution of Sumerian cuneiform, it may have been symbols for god, earth, man or woman.
What was the first English word ever made?
Why do British say bloody?
Who created word?
Microsoft Word, word-processor software launched in 1983 by the Microsoft Corporation. Software developers Richard Brodie and Charles Simonyi joined the Microsoft team in 1981, and in 1983 they released Multi-Tool Word for computers that ran a version of the UNIX operating system (OS).
Is Frick a bad word?
Is the word "frick" considered a swear? My son used to say this word repeatedly. … So no, it is not "a swear." It is a similar-sounding word substituted for a vulgar term, when using the actual vulgar term would be inappropriate.

How do you compute the volume of a cat?
Dunking it in water doesn't work– you only get the volume of the rat-like creature that lives inside the cat; much like the feeble alien within a Dalek. (And, if your answer had anything to do with contour integrals, get real.)
Here is a low-tech method that works: Using successive approximation, determine the smallest box that the cat will fully enclose itself in, and measure the size of that box. Cats tend to leave a few appendages hanging out of the corners– you may need to assist with folding the cat into the box for the final stages of approximation.
This cat is approximately 648 cubic inches in volume.

the data are pseudo-3D.
fid.com is the usual conversion script, but adjusted to take input name, output name, and tau value from the command-line. In the example script here, the tau value is set during conversion. The tau value recorded with a particular spectrum is included in the output of the showhdr command (only non-zero tau values are listed). One can also set or change the recorded tau value of an NMRPipe FID or spectrum with the sethdr command, for example: sethdr ft/test001.dat -tau 8
ft2.com is the usual processing script, but adjusted to take input name, and output name from the command-line. In the example script here, the GM window function is used to make the final lineshapes as close to Gaussian as possible, since the spectrum will later be fit to Gaussian lineshapes (see the section on GM below).
Note: fit.com produces both the nlin.tab (the result of the lineshape fitting program) and the aux.tab (the result of the seriesTab program). The script also produces a simulated spectral series sim/test%03d.ft2 and a residual series dif/test%03d.ft2. The simulated spectra and residual should be inspected carefully to evaluate the success of the lineshape fitting procedure.
How to select GM Gaussian window parameters in NMRDraw
The "nmrpipe -fn GM" command applies a Lorentz-to-Gauss window, which is a combination of an inverse exponential and a Gaussian. The purpose of the window is to replace the exponential decay of the original data with a Gaussian decay, so that the transformed result will have Gaussian-like lineshapes rather than Lorentzian-like ones.
The exponential term -g1 is specified as a line sharpening in Hz. The Gaussian term -g2 is specified as a line broadening in Hz. This line broadening will generally be set much larger than the line sharpening, so that the final result decays close to zero at the last points of the FID. In most cases, the g1 parameter is selected to match the natural exponential decay of the FID. One way to select g1 is to interactively apply several -g1 values to an FID or interferogram in an attempt to get a non-decaying result.
In the case of a 2D or 3D spectrum:
(SP –off 0.5 –end 0.95 –c …)
GM -gl 10 (not enough, signal still decays, Figure 22)
GM -g1 -10 (start over, Figure 23)
GM -g1 20 (too much, signal increases, Figure 24)
GM -g1 -20 (start over, Figure 23)
GM -g1 15 (just right, signal is uniform, Figure 25)
5. You can choose the g2 parameter in a similar way, with the goal of getting an exponentially well-decayed FID after both g1 and g2 are applied together. In practice g2 will be 1.5 to 3.0 times larger than g1 for a good result (Figure 26).


Class: CompactTreeBagger
Proximity matrix for data
prox = proximity(B,X)
prox = proximity(B,X) computes a numeric matrix of size Nobs-by-Nobs of proximities for data X, where Nobs is the number of observations (rows) in X. Proximity between any two observations in the input data is defined as a fraction of trees in the ensemble B for which these two observations land on the same leaf. This is a symmetric matrix with ones on the diagonal and off-diagonal elements ranging from 0 to 1.

Structure Theory for Nonholonomic Ensemble Systems
Ensemble control deals with the problem of using a common control input to simultaneously steer a large population (in the limit, a continuum) of individual control systems. In this talk, we address a fundamental problem in ensemble control theory, namely, system controllability. A key factor in determining controllability of an ensemble system is its underlying parameterization space. Roughly speaking, the bigger the parameterization space is, the more difficult one can control the ensemble. Over the past two decades, significant progress has been made for understanding controllability of ensemble systems over one-dimensional parameterization spaces, yet little is known when the dimensions are greater than one. A major focus of this talk is to present recent advances in controllability of ensemble systems whose parameterization spaces are multi-dimensional. We will consider two classes of ensemble systems, namely, ensembles of linear control systems and ensembles of control-affine systems. We will first show that linear ensemble systems are problematic if their parameterization spaces are greater than one and, then, show how to resolve this controllability issue by using a special class of control-affine ensembles whose control vector fields are equipped with a fine structure.

North Carolina Financial Publications
Created by Kurt Brenneman
Years covered by this guide: 1876-present
As explained at NC OpenBook, state government creates a budget, collects revenue from many sources, and spends money on projects and services. The publications below open the book on the management of these monies and, by doing so, "help create a better, more efficient state government that works for the people of North Carolina," according to NC OpenBook.
Five North Carolina state agencies perform the budget and financial management functions of state government:
Source: Program Evaluation Division, North Carolina General Assembly.
These agencies produce the publications that, together, ensure the transparency of the state's finances. Remember that the state's fiscal year starts July 1 and ends the following June 30, so that all financial reporting is for that period. A separate guide to North Carolina state budget publications is here. This study guide is designed to describe publications in our collections related to North Carolina's finances, and, where appropriate, give links to digital versions of the publications that can be printed or saved.
- Statistical Abstract of North Carolina Taxes.
The North Carolina Department of Revenue administers the state tax laws and collects taxes due to the state in an impartial, uniform, and efficient manner. The Department also accounts for the state's tax funds. The Statistical Abstract provides statistics concerning taxes imposed under the Revenue Laws of North Carolina. It gives legislators, tax professionals, researchers, and other interested citizens of North Carolina information about the amount of taxes collected, classifications of taxpayers, and the geographic distribution of taxes. The Statistical Abstract includes both historical series of data and detailed reports for the most recent fiscal or tax year available.

1 Streams and lazy evaluation (40 points)
We know that comparison sorting requires at least O(n log n) comparisons where were are sorting n elements. Let's say we only need the first f(n) elements from the sorted list, for some function f. If we know f(n) is asymptotically less than log n then it would be wasteful to sort the entire list. We can implement a lazy sort that returns a stream representing the sorted list. Each time the stream is accessed to get the head of the sorted list, the smallest element is found in the list. This takes linear time. Removing the f(n) elements from the list will then take O(nf(n)). For this question we use the following datatype definitions. There are also some helper functions defined.
(* Suspended computation *) datatype 'a stream' = Susp of unit -> 'a stream (* Lazy stream construction *) and 'a stream = Empty | Cons of 'a * 'a stream'
Note that these streams are not necessarily infinite, but they can be.
Q1.1 (20 points) Implement the function lazysort: int list -> int stream'.
It takes a list of integers and returns a int stream' representing the sorted list. This should be done in constant time. Each time the stream' is forced, it gives either Empty or a Cons(v, s'). In the case of the cons, v is the smallest element from the sorted list and s' is a stream' representing the remaining sorted list. The force should take linear time. For example:
- val s = lazysort( [9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4] ); val s = Susp fn : int stream' - val Cons(n1, s1) = force(s); val n1 = 4 : int val s1 = Susp fn : int stream' - val Cons(n2, s2) = force(s1); val n2 = 5 : int val s2 = Susp fn : int stream' - val Cons(n3, s3) = force(s2); val n3 = 6 : int val s3 = Susp fn : int stream'
Here is what is given as code:
(* Suspended computation *) datatype 'a stream' = Susp of unit -> 'a stream (* Lazy stream construction *) and 'a stream = Empty | Cons of 'a * 'a stream' (* Lazy stream construction and exposure *) fun delay (d) = Susp (d) fun force (Susp (d)) = d () (* Eager stream construction *) val empty = Susp (fn () => Empty) fun cons (x, s) = Susp (fn () => Cons (x, s)) (* Inspect a stream up to n elements take : int -> 'a stream' -> 'a list take': int -> 'a stream -> 'a list *) fun take 0 s = | take n (s) = take' n (force s) and take' 0 s = | take' n (Cons (x, xs)) = x::(take (n-1) xs)
My attempt at a solution
I tried to do the following which get the int list and transforms it to int stream':
(* lazysort: int list -> int stream' *) fun lazysort (:int list) = empty | lazysort (h::t) = cons (h, lazysort(t));
But when calling force it does not return the minimum element. I have to search for the minimum, but I do not know how... I thought of doing insertion sort like following:
fun insertsort = | insertsort (x::xs) = let fun insert (x:real, ) = [x] | insert (x:real, y::ys) = if x<=y then x::y::ys else y::insert(x, ys) in insert(x, insertsort xs) end;
But I have to search for the minimum and to not sort the list and then put it as a stream...
Any help would be appreciated.

Mount Tape Event Class
The Mount Tape event class occurs when a tape mount request is received. Use this event class to monitor tape mount requests and their success or failure.
Data column name
Name of the client application that created the connection to an instance of SQL Server. This column is populated with the values passed by the application.
ID assigned by the host computer to the process where the client application is running. This data column is populated if the client provides the client process ID.
ID of the database specified by the USE database statement or the default database if no USE database statement has been issued for a specified instance. SQL Server displays the name of the database if the ServerName data column is captured in the trace and the server is available. Determine the value for a database by using the DB_ID function.
Name of the database in which the user statement is running.
Amount of time (in microseconds) taken by the event.
For Mount Request events, the time of the mount time-out if a time-out occurs; otherwise, the time of the event itself (in such cases, StartTime indicates the time of the corresponding mount request).
Type of event = 195.
The sequence of a specified event within the request.
Type of event subclass.
1 = Tape mount request
2 = Tape mount complete
3 = Tape mount canceled
ID of the workload group where the SQL Trace event fires.
Name of the computer on which the client is running. This data column is populated if the client provides the host name. To determine the host name, use the HOST_NAME function.
Indicates whether the event occurred on a system process or a user process. 1 = system, 0 = user.
Name of the login of the user (either SQL Server security login or the Microsoft Windows login credentials in the form of DOMAIN\username).
Windows domain to which the user belongs.
Windows user name.
Name of the instance of SQL Server being traced.
Login name of the user who originated the session. For example, if you connect to SQL Server using Login1 and execute a statement as Login2, SessionLoginName shows Login1 and LoginName shows Login2. This column displays both SQL Server and Windows logins.
ID of the Session on which the event occurred.
Time at which the event started, if available.
physical device name [ ( logical device name ) ]. The logical device name displays only if it is defined in the sys.backup_devices catalog view.

There is limited evidence on physical activity patterns among Hispanic adolescents in Puerto Rico. This restricts opportunities to implement effective interventions and policies to increase physical activity in schools. The purpose of this study was to examine the physical activity behaviors of adolescents attending middle and high schools in Puerto Rico based on a compendium of moderate to vigorous physical activities including walking, jogging or running, bicycling, sports and more. A secondary purpose was to examine group differences as a function of gender and school level.
A cross-sectional survey research design was used. Students (N = 637) attending public middle and high schools completed a Visual 7-Day Physical Activity Recall survey. Both descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted to describe the sample and to determine group differences.
Puerto Rican adolescents' levels of physical activity decreased throughout the week. Only a small proportion of them reached at least 60 minutes everyday of the week. Differences were found between middle and high school students' daily and weekly participation in physical activities.
Most adolescents do not engage in sufficient physical activity.
Implications of the results are discussed and recommendations are articulated for policy makers, educators, and other professionals.

Social Science Methods
Social Science Methods is area, which is closely related to the Social Science Methodology and also to Surveys Research and Marketing Research. There are many different methods and techniques to conduct quantitative or qualitative survey.
Almost every program from field of Social Science includes also course of Social Science Methods, but programs, which are focused directly on Social Science Methods, are very rare. In these courses students have a lot of opportunities to conduct research and to develop skills in various methodologies. The courses train and encourage students to address issues of different social problems and situations that are surrounding us every day.
