698 A.2d 959 (Del.Ch. 1996)
- Caremark's employees were indicted for violating healthcare fraud statutes, which ultimately resulted in $250M total fines.
- Shareholders of Caremark sued the board of directors derivatively for breach of their fiduciary duty to monitor the ongoings of the corporation.
- Eventually, the Directors and Shareholders came to a settlement agreement, which required approval by the court.
- The court's review of the settlement forms the basis of this opinion.
- Whether the settlement agreement was valid.
- Yes, the settlement was approved.
- The board of directors can't assume their corporation is complying with the law.
- The board has an obligation attempt in good faith to invest in or implement a monitoring system that's sufficient to identify legal breaches by the corporation.
- However, the board's efforts have a low benchmark:
- The board had to have failed to provide reasonable oversight in a "sustained and systematic fashion."
- The information reporting system which the board relied on must be deemable as an "utter failure."
- Note, the system itself can be an utter failure, but the design cannot. The court reviews the design of the system.

By Heather Beaudoin
previously published in Birth Issues Fall 2011
I intended to write an article about pain in childbirth. I wanted to research all the hormonal and physiologic changes that occur in a woman's body when she experiences sexual arousal and orgasm. Then I wanted to compare that with the hormonal and physiologic changes that occur during natural vaginal birth. As well, I hoped to compare a woman's childbirth experience to a man's experience of arousal, erection, intercourse and ejaculation.
I had a strong suspicion that we would see a great deal of parallel between these three scenarios and I hoped that demonstrating those parallels would provide a convincing argument that pain in childbirth has no physiologic basis—that given its physiologic similarity to sexual arousal, childbirth could, or even should, feel enjoyable and is not necessarily painful as the large majority of us have come to expect.
My research, however, kept leading me elsewhere. The mechanics of childbirth, like sex, are relatively constant for all of us. So it seemed that maybe it doesn't really matter if anatomically childbirth should feel like sex. Instead, I realized that what mattered is the experience—the experience of pain or the lack of pain. A significant number of women experience childbirth as orgasmic while a large majority of people in our culture (even those who have never given birth) describe childbirth as painful.
From where does this difference originate? I keep coming back to the stories that formed my beliefs about how childbirth would feel. Could the differences between women's experience of childbirth be not only dependent on physiology but also on our belief system?
Dr. Michael Klein, who is a family physician and a professor at the University of British Columbia in the Faculty of Medicine, argues that this is true indeed. In one of his studies he explored the beliefs of caregivers and the effect these beliefs have on maternal and newborn outcomes.He discovered that pregnant women, midwives and doulas all believe that a woman's belief system and attitude on childbirth has an impact on the outcome of birth.1
So let's explore that idea: The reason that women describe their childbirth experience as painful and others will not, has to do with their beliefs—especially, the belief about whether or not to expect the experience to be painful.
As of today Dr. Michael Klein's research has not expanded to the second phase of testing out his research conclusions, thus, I will use myself as the first test subject. Here are the stories that formulated my beliefs and then my actual experience that normal natural vaginal birth would not be painful.
My mother had three children. I was her second baby. I knew that in the early 1970's when she had given birth to my older brother, natural childbirth was not the norm. My mom, however, attended Lamaze classes, dutifully applied the breathing patterns she had rehearsed and with the analgesic effects of laughing gas delivered her first baby with the assistance of forceps. To her mind, she had successfully experienced a natural childbirth as she had intended. Throughout my childhood, she repeatedly told me, both prompted and not, that the only time my brother's labour and birth had ever hurt was when the doctor used the forceps to assist the delivery.
Nearly four years later Mom and Dad dropped my brother off at his Nana's and went into the hospital apologizing for being there so early in labour. Mom had been unsure of how quickly labour might progress with a second baby. Always one to err on the side of being too early rather than late they had decided it was best to get my brother settled at Nana's early rather than be rushing later on. Mom was shocked to learn, however, that she had arrived fully dilated! She had experienced no pain whatsoever. She actually hardly experienced any discomfort!

I asked for this story of my birth to be retold to me many times as a child, and Mom always swore that she had only had one 'real' contraction for which she had had to pause to breathe through. Again, Mom insisted that labour was not at all painful. With one exception, however, she would then stop and stretch her mouth in the widest yawn imaginable. She would encourage me to do the same and then explain, "Do you feel that stretching burning sensation around the edge of your mouth? That is how your yoni2 will feel as the baby's head emerges and stretches you as wide as you can go. Not so bad, huh?"
My little sister followed seven years later. The only element of her birth story that stands out as I recall Mom's retelling of it, is that her water broke at the start of labour, which was not as either she nor Dad expected since it had not happened that way with the first two. So after getting up to get towels to sop up the mess, my dad proceeded to fall back asleep! Mom re-awoke him then headed off to the hospital and by the time my brother and I woke up that morning Dad was home reporting the arrival of our little sister. No reports of pain at all.
Amongst the stories of the births of the babies in my extended family, I also recall snippets of tales of baby's born at home to the fellow La Leche League women my mom knew. I never once in my years, growing from a girl into a woman, ever recall hearing any tales of painful or agonizingly long births. No tales of mother's nearly bleeding to death nor babies that were saved by the heroic actions of a doctor. In my mind these sorts of possibilities were non-existent. I knew with every fiber of my being that labour would not be painful. I might feel a ring of fire as the head emerged but there was no need to worry about myself or the baby. All the stories I was told reminded me that, "Birth was a normal every day miracle."
Then I got married and subsequently expected my first child. It was my turn to find out if the tales were true and how my beliefs about childbirth would impact my own experience.
With my first pregnancy I miscarried the baby at 12 weeks. My miniaturized 'labour' to deliver that tiny person was agonizingly painful—both physically and emotionally. Each contraction sent a sharp ache across my belly and through my groin. I sobbed through several hours of rhythmic contractions writhing on my bed trying to find ways to relieve the pain each time it gripped me. I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that my experience had been painful because I had been resistant to what was happening. I did not want my baby to leave my body. This resistance, deep sorrow and fear created tension and pain. I would not release and could not trust my body. I fought the birth during the whole labour, trying desperately to avoid the truth that I was losing that baby.
Fast forward a few years and I am now sitting in my midwife's office approximately 36 weeks pregnant with my oldest son. She asks me, "So what is your plan to cope with the pain of this birth?" I was shocked and caught very much off guard, thinking, "She's a midwife, isn't she on the same page I'm on? Doesn't she know that it's not painful?" I was barely able to construct an intelligent response that involved regurgitating some things I learned in my prenatal classes about massage, heat, breathing and relaxing. In my head and my heart I believed I would just release into the process, trust in my body's wisdom to do what it was made to do and have no fear. I knew that the midwife was mistaken because it wasn't going to be painful, just hard work.
True to my expectations labour was hard work. With my three babies my labours started with anywhere from less than 30 minutes to over 12 hours of a sensation that I would describe as a mild cramping or tightening deep within my groin, sometimes even a feeling like I had diarrhea and needed to go to the bathroom. I was fully aware of these mild contractions, but they required none of my attention and no one else knew I was experiencing them unless I told them. This was followed by an intensification of the sensations such that I no longer wished to walk and talk through contractions. The sensations were the same as early labour, a cramping feeling, a tightening, an ache like you feel when your muscles get tired from doing any sort of exercise. They were just more powerful, bigger, longer, stronger and this demanded my focus and attention. Through my various labours this stage took anywhere from 1- 15 hours. My belly would tighten into a hard rock as the contraction would peak and I could feel the muscles of my cervix and uterus working together to open wider than they ever had before to make way for my baby. But it was not unbearable, it was not torturous, I was not in pain. I was working harder than I ever had in my life and it was glorious.
Then came the second stage of labour, where I get to push my babies into this world. I remember it so clearly—the contraction begins like the earlier ones, but as the wave rises on its approach to the peak a new sensation is added. Now my body, with no direction from me, begins this massive push downward. I can feel the baby's head as it moves through the birth canal—it starts out feeling like it's going to explode through my rectum. It nearly terrifies me, but I know to expect this sensation and trust that my fear simply cannot happen. As the contraction continues and my body continues to bear down I feel a head slide further along. There is no more pressure in my rectum, just a delicious fullness in my yoni. I look forward to that feeling with each push—that moment as the head

Investigating Motivations and Expectations of Asking a Question in Social Q&A
Social Q&A (SQA) has rapidly grown in popularity, impacting people's information seeking behaviors. Although previous research has examined how people seek and share information within SQA, fundamental questions of user motivations and expectations for information seeking remain. This paper applies the theoretical framework of uses and gratification theory to investigate the motivations for SQA use, and adapts relevance criteria from library and information science (LIS) literature to investigate expectations with regard to evaluation of content within SQA site Yahoo! Answers. A total of 75 Yahoo! Answers users participated in a survey that asked them about reasons, methods, and expectations relating to asking questions within the SQA site. Findings indicate the importance of motivations and expectations in fulfilling both cognitive and socio–affective needs based upon the type of task performed. These findings provide encouraging evidence that understanding the interrelationship between the motivations behind and expectations of asking a question can inform a more holistic framework to assess information.

An assessment for attitudes consistent with sexual offending for use with offenders with intellectual disabilities
MetadataShow full item record
Background: Over the past 10 years, the focus of assessment and treatment for sex offenders has changed from the assessment of skills and deviant sexual preferences to the assessment and treatment of cognitions that might be considered to encourage or justify inappropriate sexual behaviour. There have been a few assessment measures of deviant sexual cognitions developed for adults in mainstream sex offender populations but none in less able populations. The present study describes an assessment questionnaire consisting of 7 scales for cognitions associated with rape, voyeurism, exhibitionism, dating abuse, stalking, homosexual assault and offences against children, designed to be used by sex offenders with intellectual disabilities. Method: Four groups of subjects were employed in this study - sex offenders, non-sexual offenders, non-offenders all with mild intellectual disabilities or borderline intelligence and a further group of normal men. All subjects completed the questionnaire and 86 subjects provided reliability data. Results: Each item was subjected to 3 tests of reliability. Retained items were required to achieve an item-to-total correlation of at least 0.4. Of the 7 scales, 5 achieved an internal consistency coefficient of 0.8 or greater. All scales successfully discriminated between groups even when the normal controls were eliminated because their scores were so low. Conclusions: It is possible to develop scales to assess cognitions related to types of offences which discriminate between sex offenders and other groups with intellectual disabilities. The final scales have robust statistical properties and can be used for clinical and research purposes. Some caution was noted in the use of attitudinal assessments for sex offenders.

 29. explain why the art of aec is the art of positioning
 because in order for aec to work effectively the body part must be positioned over that certain cell if it is not your image will under or over exposed
 30. what is the usual range of the radiographic densities
 .25 and 2.5 above base + fog
 31. what would happen if AEC was used on a large patient
 it would take a long time for enough exit radiation to get through the patient and into the photocell to charge the xray timer to the predetermined amt of charge exposure length would be long
 32. what would happen if the center cell was chosen for a pa chest instead of a two cell arrangement
 the image will be over exposed because the body part centered over the cent4er cell will be exposed appropriately (the thoracic vertebrae) and the lung field will be way too black because the outer cell was not selec
 33. what happens to your image a pa chest was centered to low or too high
 - if it was too low the photocell will average the radiation for the abdomen and the chest will be overexposed
 - if it was too high the photocell will average the radiation and thickness for the upper chest (which is thinner) and the lungs will be underexposed

 39. high or increase in ma causes a _____ exposure time
 a lower or decrease in ma causes a _____ exposure time to produce adequate density which is best to pick
 - decrease (faster) shorter
 - increase (slower) longer time

 40. what is aec and what does it use
 - automatic exposure control stops the exposure at the right time so that a radiograph with good density is produced using photocells
 41. when using aec, if the centering point for a c spine is at c7 instead of c4, how would the radiographic density be affected
 it will be overexposed
 42. if the back up time is set at 0.5 second, what will happen tothe radiograph if the required exposure time is 0.8
 the image will be underexposed because not enough radiation will make it to meet 0.8 it will cut off at 0.5 which is not enough radiation needed to make the image
 43. an ionization device is located between what
 tabletop and the image receptor
 44. if the minimum reaction time is 0.01 second, what will happen to the radiograph if the required exposure is 0.008
 the image will be overexposed because 0.008 is shorter than 0.01 thus the exposure will not stop until it passes 0.008 and reaches 0.01 which is a longer time so more radiation will occur
 45. which of the following changes decrease the length of exposure when using AEC

Naupaka's yellow blooms catch the eye
Description: Small shrubs 3 to 4 feet tall with narrow leaves 2 to 3 inches long and up to 1 inch wide. The margins of the leaves are slightly serrated near the tip. The most appealing feature of this native plant is its fragrant yellow half-flowers, compared with the other eight native species of naupaka, six of which are also mountain-dwelling. The other two are the common coastal naupaka kahakai (Scaevola sericea) and the endangered dwarf naupaka (Scaevola coriacea), also found near the ocean.
This particular species has the most narrow and pointed petals of them all; it's very striking. The color of the flower is unusual -- the only other yellow-flowered species of naupaka is the 'ohe naupaka (Scaevola glabra), which is much rarer. Once the flowers are pollinated, small black fruit develop with a single seed within.
Distribution: This endemic species is found in dry to mesic forests on all the main islands except Niihau and Kahoolawe, unlike other mountain naupaka, which reside mostly in higher, wetter areas.
Landscape use and care: This plant makes an excellent addition to any yard. It requires little water once established in the ground and loves full sun. It also seems to be the hardiest of the naupaka kuahiwi species, resistant to the mites and other pests that would crinkle and deform other naupaka leaves. Many times, people plant coastal naupaka kahakai on the makai side of a house and naupaka kuahiwi on the mauka side.
For a limited time, this plant can be purchased at Home Depot for around $9.
Cultural uses: The fragrant flowers of various naupaka kuahiwi are used in leis, as seen in the book "Na Lei Makamae," by Marie McDonald and Paul Weissich (a definite must-have for everyone, especially hula dancers, native plant collectors, lei makers and Hawaiian culture enthusiasts).

"A carrier pigeon" 22 Leo
This symbol is illuminated 10:43 PM EDT Aug. 13 (2:43 AM GMT, Aug. 14)
Inspiration: Human closeness is not a measure of proximity, therefore, send your love.
Today: Messages are suggested when the carrier pigeon is illuminated. However, there are two core dynamics in messaging: sending and receiving.
Consider that sending a message may be an action that many could improve upon. For example, if a thought, sentiment, or general care belongs with another, then like a carrier pigeon it will find its way home. Imagine tender thoughts from another landing on your shoulder like a well-fed pigeon!
The carrier pigeon says, if it belongs to you, it will return. By the same token, if it belongs to someone else, it is futile and withholding to keep the pigeon caged away from its home.


Dyadic (DYAI) | TiiCKER
The rich history of Dyadic represents a microcosm of how modern biotechnology is revolutionizing science, medicine, agriculture, and engineering to improve how we feed, fuel, and heal the world.
For Dyadic, the journey can be described as going from "Jeans to Genes": pioneering the use of pumice stones to stonewash blue jeans in the early 1980s, shifting along with the industry to enzymes in the middle of the decade, then beginning a new journey with the discovery of a filamentous fungal strain, nicknamed C1, suitable for producing cellulase and other enzymes in the early 1990s. Over the next two decades, Dyadic has built the knowledge, expertise, molecular tools, and technology needed to create and commercialize one of the world's premiere gene expression systems, the C1 Technology Platform. During C1's development, we identified two serendipitous mutations: the first changed the morphology of our organism, resulting in high productivity and better growth conditions; the second created our C1 White StrainTM, which allows for the production of purer enzymes and other proteins at high productivity.

Sea Monkeys Add Water
The water purifier contains salt which is essential for your sea monkeys since it allows them to hatch and thrive. Once you put the packet in the water, stir a little and allow the water to sit in room temperature for a day or up to 36 hours before adding the sea monkeys to the tank. That means the Sea Monkeys can survive years and even decades of drought, but to the naked human eye the eggs just look like sand. Just add water and "instant life!"

Common sense: Employ common sense. Obviously, you would feed 5 dogs MORE food than you would feed just 1.
CHECK THE WATER LEVEL: Eventually, some water will evaporate. When down by 1.5 inches, add fresh water to within 1/2″ from the top. Why Can't I Grow My Sea-Monkeys®? Sea-Monkeys® really aren't hard to raise at all. First, you have to prepare the water. Most people mix everything together at once and expect the Sea-Monkeys® to be born. 24 hours later, cut open packet #2 "Instant Live Eggs", add contents to water and stir for one minute. Keep the aquarium in shaded area away from direct sunlight. Step 3. Five days later, use a Sea-Monkey® Feeding Spoon to add one small scoop of powder from packet #3 "Growth Food". Do not stir. Sea-Monkeys WILL NOT HATCH if you measured the WRONG AMOUNT OF WATER that should be used. You must use EXACTLY 12 ounces of water to get Sea-Monkeys to hatch "on the button." Failure to use the RIGHT QUANTITY of water will NOT ruin the experiment. It WILL however cause a DELAY. Too little water: If YOU used too LITTLE water, simply add MORE to.

Sea-Monkeys are fun lovable little creatures, relatives of brine shrimps, that are too small to hug, but are highly enjoyable! The great thing is that they are virtually maintenance-free pets; these little creatures are probably one of the easiest pets to raise, and come in a package. Just add water! Pour water into this special tank using a purifier that removes all the harmful chemicals. Add the Sea Monkey Eggs and these unique laboratory created hybrid brine shrimp seem to hatch instantly! As the weeks go by the Brine Shrimp will grow up to 20mm long, a special growth food is included – simply feed the Sea Monkeys every.
Add your water purifier. Open the pack of water purifier and pour its contents into the water. The water purifier is intended to balance the chemical makeup of the water and help create an appropriate environment for your sea monkeys. Stir the water so the purifier can more easily spread throughout the tank. With the help of this trait, sea monkeys possess a unique distinction compared from other sea creatures. Once you purchase a packet of sea monkey eggs, they appear as lifeless dust. When you pour this dust (brine shrimp eggs) in a tank or aquarium with purified water, the sea monkeys will spring to life in a jiffy. Sea-Monkeys might be hardy little animals but they still require basic care. As well as feeding your brine shrimp, you may need to keep the habitat clean, which involves changing some of the water. This doesn't mean scooping out some water and filling up the tank or container from the faucet, which would almost.
Directed by Penny Lane. With Sam Mercurio, Rich Pell. For decades, Sea-Monkeys won the hearts of children everywhere and quickly transformed into cultural phenomena thanks to inventor, marketing genius, and complicated eccentric Harold von Braunhut. What Are Sea Monkeys? Despite their name, a sea monkey isn't an amazing underwater primate. Instead, they're a species of brine shrimp. This species, known as Artemia NYOS, is a hybrid of several types of naturally occurring brine shrimp.The creators wanted to create a hardy breed that was large enough for children to see since most brine shrimp are nearly microscopic. The sea monkeys or sea pets will adapt to the water, but don't throw in salt unless you have thrown in a lot of fresh water. In this case it will be a shock on them. Use the salt from our salt rocks only to break of a pinch to add to the water. Only add small amounts of distilled water or bottled water as a general rule so that they can adapt.
Get set for sea monkeys at Argos. Same Day delivery 7 days a week £3.95, or fast store collection. Sea-Monkeys are a novelty aquarium pet, a type of brine shrimp that undergoes cryptobiosis.Developed in the United States in 1957, by Harold von Braunhut, the shrimp are intended to be added to water, and almost always come bundled in a 3-pouch kit with other required pouches and instructions.Sometimes a small tank and/or supplementary pouches may also be included with the product. Add tap water until the total mass of the solution inside the beaker is 1,000 grams, stirring until the salt is completely dissolved (remember to take the weight of the beaker itself into account). Rock salt, sea salt, kosher salt and table salt can all be used to make seawater at home.
Smell the tank water to check that it no longer smells foul. Then, put the water back in the tank, followed by the sea monkeys. Top up the tank water with purified, room temperature water. Feed your sea monkeys and aerate the tank several times throughout the day. Then, feed them again five days later, per their usual feeding schedule.

The flag of Armenia is a tricolor flag consisting of three horizontal stripes of equal width. The top stripe is red, the middle stripe is blue, and the bottom stripe is orange. The colors of the flag have significant meaning to the Armenian people.
The red stripe represents the blood shed by Armenian soldiers during their fight for independence and freedom. The blue stripe represents the Armenian people's hope for a peaceful future, while the orange stripe represents the fertile land of Armenia and the hardworking nature of its people.
The flag was first adopted on August 24, 1990, after Armenia declared its independence from the Soviet Union. The design of the flag was inspired by the flag of the First Armenian Republic, which existed from 1918 to 1920.
The flag has become a symbol of national pride for Armenians around the world. It is often displayed during national holidays and events, as well as at Armenian cultural and sporting events.
The flag has also been the subject of controversy, particularly in neighboring Turkey, where it is illegal to display the Armenian flag. This is due to the ongoing dispute between the two countries over the events of the Armenian Genocide, which Turkey denies.
Overall, the flag of Armenia is a powerful symbol of the country's history, culture, and people. It represents the struggles and triumphs of the Armenian people and serves as a reminder of their resilience and determination.

Aurora Etiopia La Stilografica Dell'Impero!
Well known the Aurora Etiopia,
less known the universe beyond.
The pen was sold in second half of 1936 to commemorate the foundation
of italian empire by Benito Mussolini.
Important the color choice:
Ivory white celluloid to reflect sun rays
Red and yellow of the box are colors of Roma (Rome) Empire's capitol
and the brown as the included ink pills
An additional gadget was included in the box
an ivory white medal in Moldrite (a kind of plastic)
with engraved 9 Maggio A XIV fascist era started in 1922 year of march to Rome
when Mussolini held the power, so 1922+14=1936
with red/yellow ribbon, exactly same ribbon used for official medal commemorating the march to Rome
Born as trench pen had to be loaded with water,
or other liquid (in desert is better drink the water)
adding a ink pill, a small supply was stored in
blind cap, a larger supply in celluloid case with engraved
INCHIOSTRO COLONIALE (colonial ink)
Even window stands were imperial eagle shaped
and could hold eight pens.
Pen usually found in ivory white, was made in other three colors,
red, green and gray/violet, unfortunately do not have any to show,
because are very very rare, only few examples are known,
I can just share the catalog image.

Long Island Sound
Long Island Sound is Connecticut's largest and most important natural resource. More than 8 million people live in the Long Island Sound watershed and the activities that take place on and along the Sound – boating, fishing, tourism, and swimming – contribute an estimated $5.5 billion per year to the regional economy. The Sound provides feeding, breeding, and nesting areas for a diversity of plant and animal life.
One of the region's largest estuaries with an area of 1320 square miles, the Sound is home to more than 120 species of finfish and countless varieties of birds and other animals. Between New York and Connecticut, the Sound's coastline stretches more than 600 miles.
Over the last three decades, Connecticut has made a significant commitment to protecting and restoring the Sound. Millions and millions of dollars have been invested in communities throughout its watershed to address pollution concerns and protect the tidal wetlands along its shore.
Throughout this section you will find more information about the overall health of the Sound, the programs in place to protect and restore the Sound, and the recreational and access opportunities available to the public on and along the Sound.

With Google Docs, you can have full control of the location of your text. The ruler at the top of your document allows you to control where your text appears. From the ruler you can adjust margins, indents, and tabs:
Margins affect the formatting of an entire document. You can adjust them by dragging the gray area on either side of the ruler, or by adjusting the margins by selecting File > Page setup from the toolbar.
Setting default page
Once you've customized your margins, you can click Set as default to set these as the default page size for any new documents you create. You can also change the default orientation, paper size, and page color of your documents.
You can change indentations at the paragraph level. To adjust indentations across several paragraphs, select the relevant text and adjust the specific indent.
- First line indent: This small rectangle on the ruler adjusts the beginning position of a paragraph and can be changed for each paragraph.
- Left indent: The leftmost indent adjusts the second and subsequent lines of a paragraph; this indent is controlled by dragging the downward facing triangle along the ruler.
- Right indent: This indent, the rightmost downward facing triangle, adjusts how far toward the right side of a page a particular paragraph extends.
Like indents, tab stops affect documents at the specific paragraph level. Each tab stop determines how text is aligned relative to it: a left tab stop left aligns particular text to the tab stop, a center tab stop center-aligns it, and a right tab stop right aligns that text. To add a tab stop, just click anywhere in the ruler and select a tab stop. You can move text between tab stops affecting the same line by pressing the Tab key on your keyboard.

Old Stone House
Architect: Resident Designer
Contractor: Monks and lay workers (with Prior Benedict Haindl, OSB, as superintendent)
The Stone House was the first permanent building erected on the present Saint John's campus. The structure (built 200 feet from the shores of Lake Sagatagan) faced east and was 46' x 50' (it stood directly south of the present south wing). Bishop Thomas L. Grace, of St. Paul, laid the cornerstone on July 19, 1866 and occupancy took place by the end of the year. It consisted of a basement, two floors and an attic. The basement contained the kitchen and dining rooms; the first floor was divided into study halls and classrooms; on the second floor the monks had their rooms and the attic was used as a dormitory for students. The Stone House was a frontier adaptation of the simple Colonial Dutch gable structures of Pennsylvania. It was built unadorned with stones and boulders gathered from the local area. This building gave an aura of stability and permanence to Saint John's. The roof was crowned with a turret in which a 150 pound bell was placed (a gift of Brother Benno Muckenthaler's family in Bavaria). The bell (pitched in "C") announced both the hours of monastic prayer and the school schedule. On the south exterior wall, Valentine Stimmler, OSB, painted a picturesque sundial with baroque corona in bright Bavarian colors.
The Stone House served as college and monastery until 1871. In 1868, the first two story brick addition of the south wing (now the Health Center) was attached to the Stone House to the north. On March 22, 1877, a fire broke out early in the morning which caused more panic than damage. With ample space provided by the new quadrangle and in view of its weakened walls, the Stone House was demolished in 1893. In 1948, its bell was given to St. John's foundation in Puerto Rico by Abbot Alcuin.

A scalar (electrogravitic) field allows for the manipulation of gravity.
See: Scalar Field
Strong scalar fields create electrical surge comparable to an electromagnetic pulse, but arising everywhere where gravity is effective (almost anywhere but a gravity shielded starship). This electrical surge will kill lifeforms, detonate fuels and explosives, fry electronics, combust combustibles, and vaporize ablative armor.
Less powerful scalar fields can be used as taser-like stun weapons and are used in military pistols such as the Nekovalkyrja Service Pistol, Type 30.

I received my late husband's W-9 form to fill out for what I believe were our stocks. How am I supposed to fill this out or am I even supposed to?
You do not sound as a person who handles intricasies of finances on daily basis, this is why you should redirect the qustion to your family's tax professional who does hte filings for you.The form itself, W-9 form, is a form created and approved by the IRS, if that's your only inquiry.Whether the form applies to you or to your husband's estate - that's something only a person familiar with the situation would tell you about, there is no generic answer to this.
I recently opened a Fidelity Roth IRA and it says my account is closed and I need to submit a W-9 form. Can anyone explain how this form relates to an IRA and why I need to fill it out?
Financial institutions are required to obtain tax ID numbers when opening an account, and the fact that it's an IRA doesn't exempt them from that requirement. They shouldn't have opened it without the W-9 in the first place, but apparently they did. So now they had to close it until they get the required documentation.

Direct ultraviolet spectral solar irradiance is regularly obtained by the difference between global and diffuse irradiances at the French Alpine station of Briançon; the data of years 2001 and 2002 are analyzed in this paper. Comparison with modeled values is used for cloud screening, and an average UV-A aerosol optical depth is used as an index of turbidity; it is found to be around 0.05 for the clear winter days and around 0.2 in summer. Langley plots are used to verify the instrument calibration; they confirm the expected uncertainty smaller than 5%. The ozone total column amount is estimated with an uncertainty between −3 and +5 Dobson units; comparisons with TOMS (Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer) overpass values shows agreement within the expected uncertainties of both instruments.

Data: Δx (deformation of the taken spring) = 3 cm = 0.03 m; m (mass of the weight placed on the spring) = 450 g = 0.45 kg.
Constants: g (acceleration due to gravity) ≈ 10 m / s2.
To determine the required spring stiffness, we will use the equality: Fcont = Ft and k * Δx = m * g, whence k = m * g / Δx.
Calculation: k = 0.45 * 10 / 0.03 = 150 N / m.
Answer: The spring rate is 150 N / m.

Measuring Labor Markets in Canada and the United States
September 15, 2011
Labor markets are one of the most important components of an economy. They are the mechanism through which we allocate one of our most valuable and productive resources: human work, effort, creativity and ingenuity. Labor markets match human skills, supplied by individuals seeking to earn a living, with the demand for labor by firms, governments and households, says the Fraser Institute.
"Measuring Labor Markets in Canada and the United States: 2011 Edition" is the seventh installment in the Fraser Institute's ongoing research to assess the performance of labor markets and explain why results differ among jurisdictions. Indicators of labor performance such as job creation, unemployment and productivity are used to assess Canadian provincial and U.S. state labor market performance.
- Alberta topped the list of Canadian provinces and U.S. states for labor market performance over the last five years.
- The U.S. states in the West and the Midwest dominated the top of the rankings: three states from the West -- Alaska, Utah and Wyoming -- and two from the Midwest -- North Dakota and South Dakota -- were among the top
- Michigan scored the lowest of any jurisdiction.
- The lowest-ranked Canadian province was Prince Edward Island, occupying the 36th position.
- Regionally, the western Canadian provinces out-performed the other provinces.
Within the United States, the Western states performed well: three of which were among the top 10. On the other hand, four of the Midwestern states (Missouri, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan) were among the bottom 12 jurisdictions (three states were tied for the 49th place), as were six Southern states (Florida, Georgia, West Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi), one state from the Northeast region (Rhode Island) and one state from the West (California).

I get a lot of questions regarding damascus steel and how do the patterns form in it.
Although the principle is rather simple, I've noticed that it is extremely hard to try
to explain it in words. For that reason I've prepared here a description about it. In addition
I want to emphasize that this is not the only way to make damascus steel but a glimpse of how I
do it. That being said, this is not ment to be a tutorial and I don't recommend anyone to use
it as one and I don't take any responsibility of it.
In this example I use 0,8% plain carbon steel which I signify C0,8% and nickel steel 15N20.
These steels have rather identical working and heat treating characteristics.
In practice only difference between the two is the 2% nickel content in 15N20 steel
which among other things reduces corrosion in etching. Plain carbon steel (C0,8%) corrodes
more quickly revealing the layered structure.
I start by grinding the steel surfaces clean from rust and other foreign matter.
After this I cut slabs of equal length which I pile in such way that every other slab is
plain carbon steel (C0,8%) and every other is nickel steel (15N20).
After that I MIG-weld slabs together forming a billet and I weld a handle to it so that it
is easier to handle. There are now 10 layers in the example billet. (PICTURE 1)
Next it's time to light fire to the forge. First I heat the billet to cherry red temperature
and take the billet out of the forge to tighten those slabs more closely together with a few
hammer blows. After that I sprikle some borax over the billet. (PICTURE 2).
Borax is used in forgewelding as a flux. It covers the billet and seals it from oxygen
thus preventing scale from forming, which would interfere the welding.
Next the billet is heated in to yellow / starting white heat. When this temperature is reached
billet is kept in the fire for a while longer, allowing temperature to equalize.
Now I bring the billet to the anvil and quickly but lightly hammer the weld shut starting
at the center proceeding outwards. When the weld is hammered shut liquified hot borax and
scale it has dissolved fly out of the seams (PICTURE 3).
It is necessary to work very quickly because as soon as billet is taken out of forge
it's temperature starts to fall rapidly and one has only few seconds to make the weld depending
of the size of the billet. If billet cools down too much slabs wont weld properly and only option
is to cover the billet with borax and heat it again.


text: Differences in the prevalence and abundance of helminth parasites amongst host populations may result from variations in resistance to infection, differences in habitat preferences, diet or social behaviour. The use of helminth parasites as 'ecological markers' for determining differences between morphological groups of wild-living cats in Scotland was investigated, in light of the debate over the definition of a wildcat. The prevalence and abundance of the tapeworm Taenia taeniaeformis did not differ significantly between cats designated as 'wild' and 'feral' types. The prevalence of both helminths was high (94% and 69%, respectively) and there was significant variation in worm abundance related to season and geographical area. Also, prevalence of infection with Toxocara cati was significantly higher in female cats. Cats which harboured large numbers of one worm species were also likely to harbour large numbers of the other. However, a possible relationship with cat condition was only found for T. taeniaeformis for which there was a significant negative correlation between an index of cat condition and worm abundance amongst 'wild type' cats, but not amongst 'feral type' cats. Variations in worm burdens could not be attributed to differences in the diet of the cats as there was no significant relationship between the presence of any individual prey type and either the presence or abundance of T. cati or T. taeniaeformis. There was a significant negative correlation between density and biomass of individual worms in infections of T. taeniaeformis, suggestive of a density-dependent constraint on tapeworm growth.


Basketball coaches, parents should meet
November 4, 2012 - Burt Angeli
Good advice for coaches from Tom Hursey, executive director of the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan:
"In a matter of weeks you will be heading into another basketball season. Great expectations and excitement to see if your team is a contender or a pretender.
Every year I mention that the most important pre-season meeting you have will be that meeting with your players' parents.
First, if you don't have one, you are making a BIG mistake. Your parents will have more influence on the success of your team than you might think. They need to know what you are doing, when you will do it and how you plan to go about doing it.
You need to be specific about your practice plans and practice times. Are parents allowed to attend practices? Will you let families know your practice schedule ahead of time so they can make plans? How do you determine your starting line-up? What is your philosophy about playing time? Will you play 7-8 players until the outcome of the game is determined? Or will you try to play everybody?
Your parents need to know.
How will you use social media to communicate with the players? With the parents? How should parents contact you? Does your school have a policy for parents voicing their concerns about the coach? Are they allowed to start at the top or must they start with the coach and work up?
These are just a few questions that need to be answered at a meeting with parents BEFORE the games begin. I have found if the parents know what and why you are doing certain things, they might not agree, but they at least are aware of how you make decisions.
X's and O's don't get you dismissed from a coaching assignment, parents and lack of communication do.

A new study suggests that Black Michigan residents are more likely than white conservatives to adhere to COVID-19-related public health standards.
Conducted by Michigan State University and published in the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities, it included a group of 800 Michigan adults.
"Our findings suggest that although COVID impacts all Michiganders, reactions to COVID are politicized," said Zachary Neal, MSU associate professor of psychology and study co-author. "This is significant because if people base their response to COVID on politics rather than science, they may be placing themselves at risk."
Additionally, Michigan residents' race, according to the findings, impacted how much politics affected their views of COVID-19.
"When COVID was politicized, partisanship mattered more to white Michiganders than it did to Black Michiganders," Neal said. "This is significant because it could mean that white Michiganders are more likely to misjudge COVID risks due to politics. For example, although Black Michiganders on average said they would comply with stay-at-home orders, only the more liberal white Michiganders said they would comply."
In considering political ideology, the findings reveal that conservative whites were more likely to have noncompliance attitudes toward local and state COVID orders than more liberal white people and Black people who tend toward compliance.
Overall, Black Michiganders' attitudes toward the pandemic were more in line with public health recommendations around mask wearing and stay-home orders than views held by their white counterparts. Researchers point to a long history of health, social and economic disparities as the driving force. They found that Black Michiganders were more likely to contract COVID-19 or lose their job as a result of COVID-19 and thereby more likely to comply with regulations.
"Black Americans experience a disproportionately greater rate of preexisting conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes, that place them at an elevated COVID risk," said Kaston Anderson-Carpenter, MSU assistant professor of psychology and study lead author. "Since social determinants of health adversely impact Black Michiganders, adhering to the restrictions may also be perceived as a preventive health measure. Black people who work in essential jobs may also care for family members who have preexisting conditions, which may also influence their adherence to COVID restrictions."
In April, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer created the Michigan Coronavirus Racial Disparities Task Force. It is chaired by Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist, an African American who said in December that he had lost 24 people in his life due to the virus. The task force's interim report released in December detailed a number of actions the state has taken to protect communities of color, frontline workers, and small businesses from the spread of COVID-19. Across the pandemic, "the cumulative COVID-19 case rate in Black and African-American populations has been over 40% higher than the rate in White populations," a portion of the reports reads.
Beyond the politicization of the virus, Anderson-Carpenter and Neal's paper reinforces the national conversation about Black people being disproportionately affected by the virus.
"Very little has happened between May and now to reduce racial disparities or political divisions; if anything, both are now worse than before," Neal said. "Knowing now what was happening then — and, now that we're experiencing another surge in cases — more resources need to go to the Black communities to address both the health and economic impacts of COVID, particularly now that vaccines are available."
By highlighting the impact of partisan perceptions, the researchers hope their study stresses the extensive disparities related to COVID health care and encourages public health officials to focus on providing assistance to Black communities.
"It is imperative to understand how COVID has been politicized in Michigan as a microcosm of the nation, and we hope the study encourages politicians to make COVID a nonpartisan issue," Anderson-Carpenter said.


text: To many, the principal–agent model is the obvious lens through which executive pay should be viewed. Such a sentiment sits uncomfortably with a large number of empirical studies suggesting that the process of determining executive pay seems to be more readily explained by recourse to arguments of managerial power and influence. This article investigates the micro-underpinnings of boardroom behavior in order to explain this departure from principal–agency theory's argument that executive compensation serves to align interests between the owners of the company and its senior managers. We find that there are strong interaction effects among social influence variables and the social setting of boardroom activity. Generous pay awards, bearing only a weak connection to corporate performance, are explained in the context of the social psychology of the boardroom. These results and a review of the empirical research, suggest the need for a more comprehensive model of executive compensation that incorporates both economic and psychological determinants.


Current Population of Rajasthan state is estimated to be 80,782,495 (8 crores). Get details on population growth, sex ratio and literacy rate in Rajasthan.
Population of Rajasthan 2021
Population of Rajasthan - Rajasthan with a population of 80,782,495 people is ranked as 7th populous state of India. Nearly ninety percent of Rajasthan's population is Hindu with Muslims making up the largest minority with eight percent of the populations. Jains - the merchant and traders from Rajasthan constitute a significant presence. Schedule Castes (ST) and Schedule Tribes (ST) form about seventy percent and twelve percent of the state population respectively. The population of the tribes in Rajasthan is nearly a double of the national average, with original inhabitants Bhils and the Meenas forming the largest group. Lesser known tribes like Sahariyas, Damariyas, Garasias, Lohars still form an important groups.
The Bhils are largely concentrated in the area around Chittorgarh, Udaipur and Dungarpur in the south corner of the state constituting a formidable 39 percent of the state's tribal population. Regarded as warriors with fine inherent guerilla tactics, their archery skills find mention in the Hindu epics of Mahabharata and the Ramayana. With improved communication and rapid growth in the economy, the Bhil's of living is slowly changing from their original hunting and gathering existence to one near the mainstream.
Population of Rajasthan
After the Bhils the Meenas are the second largest tribal group and the most widely spread throughout eastern Rajasthan. Most Meenas are cultivators and worship Lord Shiva. Another nomadic community is Rabari or Raika, of which there are two groups - Camel breeders (Marus) and the sheep breeders (Chakias). The Gurjars in the eastern part of the Rajasthan including Jaipur, Alwar, Bharatpur and Kota region dominate.
There are various local dialects and region variations in Rajasthan and Marwari, the predominant language of Rajasthan. Hindi, the official language of Rajasthan is spoken by majority. English is widely spoken by people engaged in the hospitality industry and business.
Current Population of Rajasthan in 2021
Population of Rajasthan is increasing at a steady rate on annual basis. The vibrant state of Rajasthan is currently home to 80,782,495 people in 2021. Comparing with last year population of Rajasthan, whihc was projected to be 79,536,709, there has been an increase of over a million people in the state. However, this figure was recorded to be at 78,356,812 in 2019. The state adds more than 1 million people in its population every year. Rajasthan recorded a population of 74,791,568 in the year 2016. Population growth in Rajasthan is descent at 1.7% annually. Thus, Annual growth of Population in Rajasthan is considered to be descent if compared with other states of India.
Sex Ratio of Rajasthan
The sex ratio in Rajasthan is not a great indicator of its overall growth and development. Present sex ratio of 926 females for 1000 males is less as compared to other states in India like Kerala and Karnataka. According to latest figures, there are only 10 districts in Rajasthan where sex ratio exceeds 900. In fact Rajasthan's sex ratio has declined in the last two decades which causes a serious concern for Government and Agencies.
Literacy Rate in Rajasthan
The current literacy rate of state at 67.1% is less as compared to overall literacy rate of India which stands at 74%. Government has played a major role in bringing the Literacy rate of state up as it was pretty low in the last two decades.
Most Populated Cities in Rajasthan
Jaipur, Jodhpur and Kota are three most populated cities of Rajasthan. As of 2021 projected population, here are more details below:

text: Several studies have shown a positive relationship between local greenspace availability and residents' health, which may offer opportunities for health improvement. This study focuses on three mechanisms through which greenery might exert its positive effect on health: stress reduction, stimulating physical activity and facilitating social cohesion. Knowledge on mechanisms helps to identify which type of greenspace is most effective in generating health benefits. In eighty neighbourhoods in four Dutch cities data on quantity and quality of streetscape greenery were collected by observations. Data on self-reported health and proposed mediators were obtained for adults by mail questionnaires (N = 1641). Multilevel regression analyses, controlling for socio-demographic characteristics, revealed that both quantity and quality of streetscape greenery were related to perceived general health, acute health-related complaints, and mental health. Relationships were generally stronger for quality than for quantity. Stress and social cohesion were the strongest mediators. Total physical activity was not a mediator. Physical activity that could be undertaken in the public space (green activity) was, but less so than stress and social cohesion. With all three mediators included in the analysis, complete mediation could statistically be proven in five out of six cases. In these analyses the contribution of green activity was often not significant. The possibility that the effect of green activity is mediated by stress and social cohesion, rather than that it has a direct health effect, is discussed.

The most important crop for the Inca, as well as the Maya, was and still is maize — corn. Corn was used in ceremony, offered to the Apus — the mountain Gods — and planted during sacred rituals timed with the motions of the stars. We have even found corn carved in gold in underground tunnels in Peru, showing how the Inca worshipped this food. Researchers say corn was used in ceremonies in Ayacucho four thousand years ago. The first mention of corn is found in the writings of Pedro Martir de Angleria in 1492. The Spaniards said the bread of the Inca was maize or corn. It also was their wine. They brewed corn and made a drink known today as azua or chicha, similar to beer. Chicha comes in both purple and white versions, both quite powerful.

Shred Pill Bottles with Shred Nations
Over 70% of Americans use prescription medications. With hundreds of prescriptions ordered every day, pill bottles—full or empty—require safe handling to prevent the leak of sensitive PHI.
The label on pill bottles contains several pieces of private PHI such as a patient's name, address, an RX number, how often the medication is taken, the drug's ID number, the doctor's name, the pharmacy location, and more.
When disposing of expired, unused, or empty pill bottles, the utmost care must be taken to ensure patient information is not exposed.
Throwing empty pill bottles in the dumpster poses a serious threat to patient security and is not a viable disposal option. Medical information is worth 10 times more than credit card information on the black market—dedicated thieves are happy to rifle through some garbage in order to obtain this information.
So if you can't throw out old pill bottles, what is the safest way to dispose them?
How to Safely Dispose Old Pill Bottles
While there are tools that can be used to safely remove pill bottle labels or apply ink over private information, the safest and most efficient way to ensure patient information is unreadable is pill bottle shredding.
Pill Bottle ShreddingMost people know about shredding services for documents, but it is less well known that industrial shredders can destroy any material containing sensitive information including hard drives, electronics, and pill bottles.
Rather than risk the exposure of private information, use a pill bottle shredding service that will thoroughly destroy pill bottles and their labels, ensuring the information on it is indecipherable.
Why Use a Pill Bottle Shredding Service?
Pill bottle shredding services provide a fast, convenient, and reliable way to ensure the medical information on pill bottles is kept safe.
These services are convenient because your pill bottles can be picked up from your location and driven to a secure shredding plant for destruction.
If you toss your pill bottles in the recycling bin, they will most likely not be recycled due to their small size and the way materials are typically sorted. But when you use a pill bottle shredding service, the shredded pieces can be recycled because they are collected in bulk.
How Pill Bottle Shredding Works
Pill bottle shredding is safe and easy. The steps below outline the process of pill bottle shredding—from a little prepwork to be completed before pickup, to the end of the plastic bottles lifecycle.
 1. Separate pill bottles from other waste materials.
 2. Empty out all pill bottles completely.
 3. Empty bottles are picked up and taken to a shredding facility.
 4. Bottles and labels are dumped into an industrial shredder and are completely shredded.
 5. Bottle pieces are recycled.

of the port release
Click on "Add rule" to start the port sharing process, which may take a few minutes.
Step 6: Start Terraria server
As soon as the ports are enabled you can start your Terraria server (In the firewall policies in the Cloud Panel you can see whether the release process is still in progress or already completed under "Status"). The simplest solution for this is to use the batch file named start-server.bat mentioned earlier. So navigate to the Terraria directory and start the batch file and thus also the server by double-clicking on it.
If you have not yet entered important information, such as the difficulty level or the name of the game world, in the configuration file, the command line will now ask you for this information. Then the creation of the server starts, which can take a few minutes depending on the size and seed. If the process was successful, the command prompt will display a success message.
Step 7: Connect to the server
If you or your friends want to connect to the new Terraria server, the following steps are required:
- Start Terraria.
- Click on "Multiplayer".
- Select the option "Join via IP" and an avatar.
- Type the IP address of your server (with :7777 appended for the port).

Implementing Siebel eBusiness Applications on DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390 > Preparing for Implementation on the DB2 Host >
Estimating the Storage Space Required
The space needed by DB2 varies primarily based on the total number and types of users supported. Consult the IBM DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390 technical documentation for more information on these requirements.
The space required for Siebel data and indexes varies depending on what Siebel functionality you implement and the amount and nature of data supporting it. The process for making accurate database size calculations is a complex one involving many variables. The following guidelines will assist you in the process:
- Determine the total number, and types, of users of Siebel eBusiness Applications (for example, 500 sales representatives and 75 sales managers).
- Determine the Siebel functionality that you will implement and the entities required to support them. Typically, the largest entities are:
- Service Requests
- Estimate the average number of entities per user (for example, 100 accounts per sales representative) and calculate an estimated total number of records per entity for your total user base.
- Calculate the average record size per entity and multiply by the total number of records using standard sizing procedures for your specific database and the Siebel Schema definition. Typically, these entities span multiple physical tables, all of which must be included in the row size calculation. This calculation determines the estimated data sizes for the largest entities.
- Add extra space for the storage of other Siebel data. A rough guideline for this amount is one-half the storage required.
- Allow for a margin of error in your total size calculation.
- Factor growth rates into your total size calculation.

Vintage Photos Showing Chinese People Wearing Fingernail Guards From the Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries
The Chinese fingernail guard came from the Ming dynasty but became popular in the Qing dynasty. For having long fingernails was a sign of power and beauty and wearing fingernail guards protected the nails.
Both men and women of the nobility in ancient China wore their nails long. Long fingernails were a status symbol, showing that that person literally didn't have to lift a finger to do any work. Women usually have longer nails than men, so nail guards became an accessory worn both to protect the nails from breaking and to be decorative.
Nail guards were usually made from metals or shells, sometimes also jade. Historical artifacts show that they are usually made of gold, silver, bronze, or gilded metal, and embedded with pearls, precious stones or kingfisher feather. The length can be anywhere from 3cm (1 in) to 15cm (6 in) depending on how long the wearer wishes it to be.
Nail guards could be worn on one hand only, or on both hands; the latter would signal the wearer's higher status as it shows they do not need to use either of their hands. Some internet novels suggest that nail guards could be worn on all four fingers of the hand, except the thumb, but in reality this would make it extremely difficult to hold anything, so this is highly illogical.
Nail guards as historical artifacts usually came in pairs, which suggest they were worn on two fingers of each hand – the fourth finger and the pinky. This is also consistent as what is seen in paintings and photographs.

 1. Those are pretty badass, tbh...made in China though, they probably broke after wearing them twice.

Twenty years ago today, on May 11, 2000, the first modern treaty in British Columbia came into effect.
The Nisga'a Final Agreement was negotiated outside of the B.C. treaty process by the Nisga'a Nation, British Columbia and Canada. It recognizes 2,000 square kilometres of Nisga'a lands and secures Nisga'a hunting and fishing rights in the Nass Wildlife Area and Nass Area.
It is also the first treaty in British Columbia to offer constitutional certainty of an Indigenous people's right to self-government.
"On this special milestone day, may we remember the generations of Nisga'a men and women who worked tirelessly over 113 years for the just and honourable settlement we achieved on May 11, 2000," said Eva Clayton, Nisga'a Lisims Government president in a media release.
The planned 20th anniversary gathering has been postponed to due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To recognize the occasion, the Nisga'a flag is flying in the Hall of Honour at the B.C. parliament buildings.
"Twenty years is a significant milestone. An entire generation of Nisga'a young people have grown up as members of a self-governing treaty nation," said B.C. Premier John Horgan in the release.
READ MORE: Nisga'a treaty stands up to court challenge
Efforts to negotiate a treaty began as early as 1887, when Nisga'a chiefs travelled to Victoria to demand the negotiation of a treaty and recognition of title and self-government. Canadian laws at the time prevented Indigenous people from raising money to advance land claims.
In 1968, the Nisga'a Tribal Council started legal action in the B.C. Supreme Court and negotiations between the Nisga'a and Canada began in 1976.
The government of British Columbia joined the discussions in 1990. The agreement was signed in Aug. 1998 and came into effect nearly two years later.
There are more than 7,600 members of Nisga'a Nation living mostly in the Nisga'a villages of Gingolx, Laxgalts'ap, Gitwinksihlkw and Gitlaxt'aamiks, while others reside in Terrace, Prince Rupert and the Lower Mainland.
"The 20th anniversary of the implementation of the Nisga'a Treaty is a major milestone in our shared history. Although a great deal has changed in the world around us, the Nisga'a vision for creating a better future for their people has not," said federal Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations Carolyn Bennett, in the release.
"The treaty is a living and breathing example of reconciliation in action and what we can accomplish when we work together and recognize and respect Indigenous people's right to self-determination."

Waveform Scheduling Based on Target Detection
In radar operation, it is often necessary to adjust the operation mode based on the target return. This example shows how to model a radar that changes its pulse repetition frequency (PRF) based on the radar detection.
This example requires SimEvents®.
Available Example Implementations
This example includes one Simulink® model:
Dynamic PRF Selection Based on Radar Detection
This model simulates a monostatic radar that searches for targets with an unambiguous range of 5 km. If the radar detects a target within 2 km, then it will switch to a higher PRF to only look for targets with 2 km range and enhance its capability to detect high speed targets.
The model consists of two main subsystem, a radar system and its corresponding controller. From the top level, the radar system resides in a Simulink function block. Note that the underlying function is specified in the figure as [dt,r] = f(idx). This means that the radar takes one input, idx, which specifies the index of selected PRF of the transmitted signal and returns two outputs: dt, the time the next pulse should be transmitted and r, the detected target range of the radar system. The radar controller, shown in the following figure, uses the detection and the time to schedule when and what to transmit next.
Radar System
The radar system resides in a Simulink function block and is shown in the following figure.
The system is very similar to what is used in the Waveform Scheduling Based on Target Detection example with the following notable difference:
 1. The waveform block is no longer a source block. Instead, it takes an input, idx, to select which PRF to use. The available PRF values are specified in the PRF parameter of the waveform dialog.
 2. The output of the waveform is also used to compute the time, dt, that the next pulse should be transmitted. Note that in this case, the time interval is proportional to the length of the transmitted signal.
 3. At the end of the signal processing chain, the target range is estimated and returned in r. The controller will use this information to decide which PRF to choose for next transmission.
 4. Once the model is compiled, notice that the signal passing through the system can vary in length because of a possible change of the waveform PRF. In addition, because the sample rate cannot be derived inside a Simulink function subsystem, the sample rate is specified in the block diagrams, such as the Tx and Rx paths, the receiver preamp, and other blocks.
Exploring the Example
Several dialog parameters of the model are calculated by the helper function helperslexPRFSelectionParam. To open the function from the model, click on Modify Simulation Parameters block. This function is executed once when the model is loaded. It exports to the workspace a structure whose fields are referenced by the dialogs. To modify any parameters, either change the values in the structure at the command prompt or edit the helper function and rerun it to update the parameter structure.
Results and Displays
The figure below shows the detected ranges of the targets. Target ranges are computed from the round-trip time delay of the reflected signals from the targets. At the simulation start, the radar detects two targets, one is slightly over 2 km away and the other one is at approximately 3.5 km away.
After some time, the first target moves into the 2 km zone and triggers a change of PRF. Then the received signal only covers the range up to 2 km. The display is zero padded to ensure that the plot limits do not change. Notice that the target at 3.5 km gets folded to the 1.5 km range due to range ambiguity.
This example shows how to build a radar system in Simulink® that dynamically changes its PRF based on the target detection range. A staggered PRF system can be modeled similarly.

Introduction to Graphic Displays
Displaying categorical data in simple graphical formats such as bar charts and pie charts
Displaying quantitative variable data in simple graphical formats such as dot plots, frequency histograms, and stem‐and‐leaf plots
Using box plots to display numerical measures of data
Interpreting graphic displays to make conclusions about the distribution of the variable
Understanding scatter plots
Pie charts and bar charts are graphic displays of data for categorical variables. Dot plots, stem‐and‐leaf plots, histograms, and box‐and‐whisker plots are graphic displays of data for numerical variables.
As an example, consider the yearly expenditures of a college undergraduate. After collecting her data (expense records) for the past year, she finds the expenditures shown in Table 1.
These figures, although presented in categories, do not allow for easy analysis. The reader must expend extra effort in order to compare amounts spent or relate individual proportions to the total. For ease of analysis, these data can be presented pictorially.

This is a statistical index to the Village Voice Pazz & Jop music critics poll, generated in the process of its tabulation for the last few years.
Click any linked column-heading to sort a table by that column. Click any album or song for an artist profile, or any voter for a voter profile.
Some explanation of the various esoteric metrics:
- Enthusiasm (album): points per vote. On the album poll voters divide 100 points among 10 albums, 5-30 points each.
- Kvltosis: the fraction of an album's points that remain if the album poll is inversely reweighted by voters' centricities (see below).
- Hipness: the fraction of an album's points that remain if the album poll is reweighted by how many singles each voter's ballot listed.
- Metalism (album): the fraction of an album's points that remain if the album poll is reweighted by voters' metalism (see below).
- Monolithity: the fraction of an album's points that remain if you disregard ballots that include a song by the same artist.
- Vitality (album): the fraction of an album's points that came from voters new to the poll that year.
- Singularity: the fraction of a song's votes that remain if you disregard ballots that include an album by the same artist.
- Centricity: how close a voter came to picking to the winning 10 albums.
- Breadth: how close a voter came to picking a different artist for every album/song slot in every voting year.
- Metalism (voter): what fraction of a voter's votes went to metal bands (arbitrarily defined).
- Artist points: sum of their album points plus 2 points per song-vote.
- Enthusiasm (artist): points, as above, per ballot.
Similarity is calculated for albums, songs and artists based on voter overlap, and for ballots and voters based on album+song+artist overlap.
The ballot and voter scores are weighted by album/song/artist popularity.
