Importance of Time Management Tips and Techniques - One who manages time in a well mannered and according requirement never feels any difficulty in performing his whole day jobs, duty and other assignment in a very calculated and successful way and as a result such people are called as a very successful personality.
One who manages time in a well mannered and according requirement never feels any difficulty in performing his whole day jobs, duty and other assignment in a very calculated and successful way and as a result such people are called as a very successful personality.
Time is very precious thing; it has wings and as such is passing very fast. Time once gone never comes back. It plays very important role in the life of every man kind. The people who know the importance of time factor in their lives and career are very conscious about its management.
Proper time management also results in contentment and satisfaction in daily life. On the other hand people who don't bother to enhance their skills through free time management tips and are in the habit of doing things haphazardly with out any proper planning of ten results in a failure or in break down of their all plans and assignments. They can never spend a successful life. They are never contented people. They are always unable to enjoy their life in a well mannered and successful way.
If you review the above facts deeply you will appreciate and feel that best time management plays a vital role in the life of successful and contented persons.
Similarly time management techniques and time management skills are also very important for students for their bright and brilliant carrier. A student has to mange rime very effectively for his assignments, readings and co-curricular activities. There are a lot of examples which we can find very easily where a student is showing very good grades in his studies but when we look about his extra activities we will find him no where means he doesn't know how to manage time between his studies and other activities. We can also find some students who are the captains of their home teams in any sport but when we look at their grades they are pathetic and the reason is same that they don't know any thing about best time management .
Time management for family is also very important to live a prosperous life. Just like the above examples of students if we look closely to the families where one can easily find tightness between family members we can observe very easily that despite of other major factors a main major factor of this tightness is that they also don't know any thing about time management system. Like for instance, just consider the example of a married couple and think about if male person has a job at night and female, his life partner, has a job in day. The result will be a great disaster if they both do not pay attention to the time management exercises. It is necessary for them to find time management solutions to live a happy, prosperous life.
Same is the case for working persons and it is true for every type of person whether he is doing a white colored job, a red colored job or a blue color job. Every one has to develop time management techniques. Other wise he or she can not compete with the current world. One can improve his time management skills through online time management tutorials.
All the above mentioned factors witness that proper time management is a vital and unavoidable factor in every sphere of life. So let's start right now or let's start from right now how to manage time?

Zoning Nuances for Energy Storage Development in New York City that Every Developer Should Know
Hodgson Russ Renewable Energy Alert
New York's statewide energy storage goal of 3,000 megawatts (MW) by 2030, with an interim objective of deploying 1,500 MW by 2025 require significant increases in the high energy consumption zone of New York City. Market conditions there are trending positive for energy storage, including: the late 2019 adoption by the New York City Fire Department ("FDNY") of standards and requirements for siting outdoor energy storage systems; the availability of bridge incentives that help to close the gap between the calculated value of energy storage and the money it can earn in the market today; the 2019 release of Con Edison's request for proposals for bulk storage resource, with more RFPs to come; the natural grid constraints of such a densely populated area that imports so much of its electricity; the related need for demand charge management; and relatively high electricity prices that improve the economics under the State's Value of Distributed Energy Resources ("VDER") tariff.
While New York City is a promising market for energy storage development, the process for project siting within the City is unique and in some ways more challenging than the permitting and approvals process followed in the rest of New York State. If developers are aware of the nuances in New York City's Zoning Resolution from the outset, they can streamline approvals and ensure project success.
NYC's Energy Storage Development Regulatory Scheme
It goes without saying that one of the first steps in project development is the identification of a promising site. In New York City, where higher bridge incentives create a promising market but real estate is more constrained, the identification of a viable site can be more difficult.
Under the New York City Zoning Resolution there is no mention of energy storage however, the New York City Planning Commission has confirmed that energy storage falls under Use Group 6 (Utility, Small). As such, energy storage projects are permitted in some Residential Districts (R1-R2 and R3-R10) by special permit and are permitted as-of-right within some Commercial (C1, C2, C4, C5, C6, and C8) and Manufacturing (M1, M2 and M3) Districts. Developers are therefore limited to sites within these districts unless they obtain a use variance from the Board of Standards and Appeals (i.e., an approval to use the land in a manner not permitted by the Zoning Resolution).
From there, developers are wise to focus on outdoor rather than indoor installations. Last year FDNY adopted rules for the outdoor installation of stationary lithium-ion batteries. These rules helped to speed up the siting process for energy storage as compared to the early days when developers worked with FDNY on an ad hoc basis. While FDNY has issued guidance for outdoor installations, it is still taking a more cautious approach to indoor lithium-ion projects. As a result, developers are mostly limited to the consideration of rooftops and empty lots for the siting of an energy storage projects within the City.
While there may be a smaller pool of sites in New York City, developers are finding success with creative approaches such as the demolition of old buildings to create open space for energy storage development. Once cleared, a developer can pack in multiple battery systems with a larger number of megawatts ("MW") that maximize revenue streams.
These strategies, however, amplify the importance of the nuances of the New York City Zoning Resolution. When siting a project in this way, developers must deal with setback requirements imposed upon the property by the Zoning Resolution, and may need an area variance (i.e., an approval from the zoning board to use the land in a manner that is not permitted by the dimensional and physical requirements of the Zoning Resolution).
Outside of New York City, zoning boards have broad discretion to grant area variances. If a developer is thoughtful and strategic in his/her application, an area variances is often times granted. However, within New York City, the law is different and an approval is harder to obtain.
Zoning Boards in the Rest of the State Have Broad Discretion to Grant Area Variances
Area variances in towns, villages and cities throughout New York State are governed by Town Law § 267-b, Village Law § 7-712-b and General City Law § 81-b. These laws establish the authority of a zoning board to grant area variances, and also provide the statutory criteria that must be analyzed by the boards when granting area variances. Id.
When determining whether to grant an area variance, a zoning board is required to engage in a balancing test "weighing the benefit to the applicant against the detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or community if the variance is granted." See Matter of Sasso v. Osgood, 86 N.Y.2d 374, 384 (1995); see also, Town Law § 267-b, Village Law §7-712-b and General City Law § 81-b.[1]
In applying the statutory balancing test for granting area variances, a zoning board is "not required to justify its determination with supporting evidence with respect to each of the five factors, so long as its ultimate determination balancing the relevant considerations was rational." See Matter of Merlotto v. Town of Patterson Zoning Bd. of Appeals, 43 A.D.3d 926, 929 (2d Dept. 2007). Moreover, a determination of a zoning board should be sustained on judicial review if it has a rational basis and is supported by substantial evidence. See Matter of Ifrah v Utschig, 98 NY2d 304, 308 (2002).
Under this balancing test, Zoning Boards have significant discretion to grant an area variance. Therefore, if a developer is thoughtful and strategic, they have a good chance of obtaining this approval. Unfortunately, the process is more complex within New York City.
Area Variances ("Bulk Variances") in New York City
New York City is empowered under state law to create its own rules for area variances and does not follow the balancing test carried out in the rest of state.
The New York City Zoning Resolution sets forth the approval process for area variances which are referred to as bulk variances. Bulk variances are granted by the New York City Board of Standards and Appeals ("BSA").
In order for the BSA to grant a bulk variance each and every one of the following findings must be made:
that there are unique physical conditions, including irregularity, narrowness or shallowness of lot size or shape, or exceptional topographical or other physical conditions peculiar to and inherent in the particular zoning lot; and that, as a result of such unique physical conditions, practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship arise in complying strictly with the use or bulk provisions of the Resolution; and that the alleged practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship are not due to circumstances created generally by the strict application of such provisions in the neighborhood or district in which the zoning lot is located;
that because of such physical conditions there is no reasonable possibility that the development of the zoning lot in strict conformity with the provisions of this Resolution will bring a reasonable return, and that the grant of a variance is therefore necessary to enable the owner to realize a reasonable return from such zoning lot; this finding shall not be required for the granting of a variance to a non-profit organization;
that the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood or district in which the zoning lot is located; will not substantially impair the appropriate use or development of adjacent property; and will not be detrimental to the public welfare;
that the practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship claimed as a ground for a variance have not been created by the owner or by a predecessor in title; however where all other required findings are made, the purchase of a zoning lot subject to the restrictions sought to be varied shall not itself constitute a self-created hardship; and
that within the intent and purposes of this Resolution the variance, if granted, is the minimum variance necessary to afford relief; and to this end, the Board may permit a lesser variance than that applied for.
Compared to the balancing test used by the rest of the State, New York City's five factor test is significantly more burdensome. By comparison, a bulk area variance approval in New York City looks more like the approval for a use variance in the rest of the State. To this point, it is particularly difficult for an energy storage applicant to meet the first prong of the balancing test demonstrating the unique physical conditions "peculiar to and inherent in the particular zoning lot." see ZR § 72-21(a). Successful applicants focus on physical conditions such as small, shallow or irregularly shaped lots, subsurface soil conditions, such as rock, soft soil, contamination or a high water table or the inability to reuse obsolete buildings. Given the unique properties that are being scouted for energy storage installations, these physical characteristics may very well exist and should be used to strengthen an application for a bulk area variance.
Successful Permitting in NYC
Recognize that a bulk area variance is not as simple to obtain as in the rest of the State and design a site plan so that this approval is not required. Subject to project economics, including the potential for increased real property taxes, and parcel availability, of course, combining multiple smaller lots to create a larger parcel may provide relief from setback requirements.
If a determination is made that a bulk area variance is required, pursue this approval early in the development process. Consider requesting an informal consultation with the BSA before submitting an application in order to understand whether approval is likely and whether any alternatives exist.
Stay in touch with New York's rapidly evolving policies and laws for the deployment of energy storage. This market is moving quickly with continued progress towards streamlining approvals so that these projects can get in the ground and online in time to meet the 2025 1,500 MW target. Stakeholders are working with municipalities to refine the permitting process and continue to receive support in this endeavor from the leadership within the State.

[1] In engaging in the balancing test, a zoning board is required to consider whether: (1) an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood, or a detriment to nearby properties will be created by the granting of the area variance, (2) the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance, (3) the requested area variance is substantial, (4) the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district, and (5) the alleged difficulty was self-created, which consideration shall be relevant to the decision of the board of appeals, but shall not necessarily preclude the granting of the area variance.

Let Us Imagine Her Name
Sue Walker
"These lyric investigations of female lives and voices coalesce as a journey into the heart of both language and reality itself. Greta Garbo comes out of her hiding place in history to share a recipe for human insight; Hypatia contemplates the cosmology of fate; and Susan Sontag's ghost confesses the truth about 'truth.' Walker's capacity for invention is dazzling and inexhaustible… This book is daring, erudite, and heartbreakingly beautiful. Let us now imagine Walker's name among our essential Southern voices."
—Carey Scott Wilkerson, author of Threading Stone and Seven Dreams of Falling
"Let Us Imagine Her Name is as remarkable as any book I've read in a long time: a memoir of a life that began with a huge strike against it, by a woman trying on identities to find one that best fits. Sue Walker's writing sparkles. The whole book is an amazing tour de force certain to fascinate and regale."
—X. J. Kennedy, author of In a Prominent Bar in Secaucus
"Adrienne Rich once said, 'Responsibility to yourself means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking, and naming for you.' Herein lies the brilliance of Sue Brannan Walker's Let Us Imagine Her Name. Walker shows us, through her wondrous experimentation with form, the ways that language shapes identity, consciousness, and the very foundations of the social order. Even more provocatively, she reveals the implicit politics buried in even our smallest linguistic choices. Part deconstruction, part homage, Walker's new book forges its own architecture, an exquisite cathedral made to house portraits of revolutionary female figures. For each woman, each persona, each voice, Walker cultivates a life in language that is unequivocally her own. In short: this is a magnificent collection."
—Kristina Marie Darling, author of Dark Horse
"I am jumping from woman to woman and strangely, wonderfully, I am finding myself on every page! I think every woman reader will. It feels important, this book. It feels fresh, new, honest, deeply felt and bravely, uniquely, brilliantly said. It tells us what we know but do not know we know—the ways we are complex, the ways we suffer and overcome suffering. . . . It is all here, but on its knees before the poet. . . . We allowed to hurt, but wit makes the pain of seeing and understanding bearable and ultimately amounts to revelation."

Q: Take "setFrom" name as in Gmail configuration using Swift Mailer I'm using Swiftmailer to send emails in Symfony project.
$msg = (new \Swift_Message("Subject"))
            ->setFrom('xxx123@gmail.com')
            ->setTo('yyy@gmail.com')
            ->setBody($mailContent);

In the received email, the name of Sender looks like xxx123. But the name for this email id in its configuration is XXX YYY.
I can use,
->setFrom('xxx123@gmail.com' => 'XXX YYY')

but, I don't want to set name directly in the code as it may be changed to something else like YYY ZZZ.
How can I achieve this? Thanks in advance!!

A: Sender name is always set in the header of every message. So header can be set by any email client. Your SwiftMailer is also email client in this case.
Your email server can rewrite header but only in specific cases. Like Gmail rewrite all email addresses that you didn't validate in the account settings to your base email.
If you need to fetch your sender name from Gmail account you can use Gmail-API. Authenticate your application with OAuth and send GET request to url:
https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/settings/sendAs/YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS
You will receive JSON like this:
{
 "sendAsEmail": "YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS",
 "displayName": "SENDER NAME THAT YOU NEED",
 "replyToAddress": "",
 "signature": "Your standard signature for emails created by Gmail in browser",
 "isPrimary": true,
 "isDefault": true
}

More about Google API for this request you can find here: https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/settings/sendAs/get

A: You can use this code:
$fromEmail = "xxx123@gmail.com";
$fromName = "Sender Name";

$msg = (new \Swift_Message("Subject"))
        ->setFrom([$fromEmail => $fromName])
        ->setTo('yyy@gmail.com')
        ->setBody($mailContent);

If you put only email, code will cut name from email until @. In your case it's: xxx123@gmail.com

Qualitative and quantitative differences among pear cultivars were found in constitutive and Cacopsylla-induced volatiles, depending on experimental treatment of the trees (i.e., uninfested and partly or completely infested by psyllids). Blend differences were also found between pear cultivars and wild-type pear, alder and hawthorn-the latter trees are frequently present in pear orchard hedgerows. Interesting differences were found in the presence of methyl salicylate and (E,E)-alpha-farnesene, two compounds previously found to mediate attraction of predatory bugs towards psyllid-infested pear trees. Methyl salicylate is expressed constitutively and is induced systemically by infestation in the whole plant of all four cultivars. (E,E)-alpha-farnesene on the other hand showed also systemic induction in Bartlett, NY10355 and Beurre Hardy, but in partially infested Conference trees it was induced locally, only in herbivore-damaged leaves. No methyl salicylate or (E,E)-alpha-farnesene were identified in honeydew. In field collected headspace samples of alder leaves infested by aphids and leaf beetles we found methyl salicylate but no (E,E)-alpha-farnesene, whereas in uninfested hawthorn neither were identified. Insight in the variability of damage-related pear volatiles will have important implications for integrated pest management in the field.

Information conveyance plays an important role in parasitoid-host interactions. Several sources of information are available for searching parasitoids and exploitation of that information during the different phases of host location depends on its reliability, detectability and accuracy. One source of information especially suitable for exploitation by parasitoids is a host aggregation pheromone, because this often combines all three aspects. In laboratory and field experiments we studied the behavioural responses of the parasitoid Leptopilina heterotoma to the aggregation pheromone of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, both for substrate selection and the behaviour on host snbstrates. Our results show that substrates with increasing dose of the host's aggregation pheromone attract increasingly more parasitoids, whereas we found no significant effects of pheromone on parasitoid searching behaviour on the substrates. Parasitoid searching behaviour on substrates was influenced by other host cues (e.g. larval exerements, traces of adults other than aggregation pheromone), which is discussed in relation to the expectations from reliability-detectability theory. The responses of the parasitoids were further influenced by substrate quality (i.e. yeast concentration) and the microscale distribution of pheromone. In several field experiments, the fraction of fruit fly larvae that was parasitised was significantly higher in substrates with aggregation pheromone than in control substrates, indicating an ecological cost to the use of aggregation pheromones in adult D. melanogaster.

Jesy Nelson on debut single Boyz featuring Nicki Minaj: "The old Jesy is gone"
The track arrives this week and samples P Diddy's Bad Boy 4 Life.
By George Griffiths
Jesy Nelson has revealed what fans can expect to hear from her debut solo single Boyz, featuring Nicki Minaj.
The track serves as Jesy's first release following her exit from Little Mix last December. Earlier this year, she signed a record deal with Universal's Polydor to release her solo music.
In a new interview with Glamour, Jesy has talked in-depth for the first about the single and its inspiration. The track samples P Diddy's 1994 hit Bad Boy 4 Life.
"This single is amazing," she said. "I'm so excited for everyone to hear it. It's ballsy, it's honest and it's me all over."

She also touched on her exit from Little Mix, describing the moment where she cleared her social media of all the old posts from her time in the band as a "weight being lifted."
"I hated looking at those old pictures when I was unhappy or just looking awful," she said. "They've gone. That Jesy has gone."
Jesy previously admitted that fans would either love or hate her new single, which is described as a "ballsy, audacious head-knocker infused with early 2000s R&B".
As part of Little Mix, Jesy notched up five UK Number 1 singles and one UK Number 1 album. The group's most recent chart-topper, Sweet Melody, ascended to the top spot in the weeks following Jesy's departure from the band.

Chloé Charody
50 Fanfares Composer
Through the dynamic fusion of opera, classical music and circus, Chloé Charody has created a unique style of music and a theatrical genre that has enjoyed a wonderful reception by critics, the media, and audiences worldwide.
Charody's first circus-opera The Carnival debuted on London's West End in 2011 and for 9 years ran sell out seasons across Europe, the UK and Australia. Circus-opera is a style of opera that Charody has pioneered, and in 2012 she founded the Berlin Circus Opera Lab to train a new generation of opera singers.
In 2011 Charody's first ballet-opera Magdalene was commissioned and presented by the Dutch National Ballet, which subsequently presented her interdisciplinary ballet The Phoenix in 2016. Charody's fourth opera, Morning Blossoms, toured with the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra in 2016. Tale of The Firebird, a concerto for aerial-fire-taming-violin-virtuoso and fire-taming-acrobatic orchestra, premiered at City Recital Hall in 2019 for Sydney's VIVID Festival.
I couldn't imagine my life without music. I get irritable when I'm not making it and I hate this. But that's the way it's been for me my whole life and I can't see it ever changing!"
In 2020, Charody's upcoming musical JINGAH! will premiere as a giant outdoor musical spectacle for the Nottingham Puppet Festival. In 2022, Charody's next musical, The Wonderful World of Wellington Whale, will tour England, and her next circus-opera, The Devil's Tiger, is due to premiere in Sydney.

Q: Solving Inverse trig problems using substitution? I have this problem
$$\arccos\left(\frac{x+\sqrt{1-x^2}}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$$
The answer comes out be $\arcsin(x)-\frac{\pi}{4}$
I've realized that this problem can be solved by using something called substitution, but i really dont get the idea of how you can just substitute $x$ with $\cos(x),~\sin(x)$. Or anything else for that matter.
Also how do you know what to substitute? Is there a method for that?
This has been confusing me a lot and i would appreciate if the answer is not just the solution but also an explanation to how substitution works in brief.
Thanks in advance.

A: The solution has been discussed so I'll just try to address your other concerns.
The expression to be simplified contains certain suggestions to the substitution.
The $x$ and $\sqrt{1-x^2}$ have a sum of squares of 1. This is reminiscent of either the $\sin x$ function or $ \cos x$ functions.
So we try to substitute say, $x=\sin\alpha$.
With inverse trigonometric expressions however this gets a little tricky.

*

*You have to ensure that your substitution satisfies the domain. For example, here plugging $x=\sin\alpha$ would be invalid if $x$ could take all real values because the range of $\sin x$ is $[-1,1]$. We can do that here because $\sqrt{1-x^2}$ requires $\mid x\mid <1$ .

*$\mathrm{sin}\alpha$ is a many-one function. In fact for any $\alpha$ you take $n\pi +(-1)^n\alpha$ gives the same value. So if your simplified expression contains $\alpha$ you would get an infinite number of values for the resultant function . But the $\mathrm{arccos}$ function is single valued. So we have to restrict the domain of $\alpha$ to ensure that $\sin\alpha$ takes all values of $x$ and that each $x$ corresponds to a single $\alpha$.(Establish a bijection between $x$ and $\alpha$ so to speak)

*The easiest way to do this usually is to assume $\alpha =\sin^{-1}(x)$ this forces $\alpha\in [-\tfrac{\pi}{2},\tfrac{\pi}{2}]$.
Another note other people missed on is that $\sqrt{1-sin^2\alpha}$ is $\mid\cos\alpha\mid$. It is only when you consider our restriction on $\alpha$ that you can justify that $ \cos\alpha$ is positive in $\in [-\tfrac{\pi}{2},\tfrac{\pi}{2}]$.
Finally, for inverse trig functions, while:
$$\mathrm{trig}(\mathrm{trig}^{-1}x)=x$$
Is true but:
$$\mathrm{trig}^{-1}(\mathrm{trig}(x))=x$$
This is true only when $x$ lies in the Principal value branch of $\mathrm{trig}$(Denotes any of the six functions.
So, once you have simplified the function to:
$\cos^{-1}(\cos(\alpha-\tfrac{\pi}{4}))$
You have to look at what your value of $\alpha$ is before you cancel cos inverse and cos.
Look up the graph for $\cos^{-1}(\cos x)$ and you'll notice that:
$$\cos^{-1}(\cos x)= x ;0\leq x\leq \pi$$
$$\cos^{-1}(\cos x)= -x ;-\pi\leq x\leq 0$$
So,
$$\cos^{-1}(\cos (\alpha-\tfrac{\pi}{4}))= \alpha-\tfrac{\pi}{4};\tfrac{\pi}{4}\leq \alpha\leq \tfrac{5\pi}{4}$$
$$\cos^{-1}(\cos (\alpha-\tfrac{\pi}{4}))= \tfrac{\pi}{4}-\alpha ; -\tfrac{3\pi}{4}\pi\leq \alpha\leq \tfrac{\pi}{4}$$
Checking the appropriate ranges on $x$ corresponding to $\alpha$ gives $x\geq \tfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ and $x\leq \tfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ for the first and second case respectively.
Finally a note on choosing substitutions.
You should try to find the substitution that has an identity most closely resembling the given expressions.
Examples:(Try to simplify the expressions and identify the corresponding identity.)

*

*$x, \sqrt{x^2-a^2}$ , use $x=a\sec\alpha$ or $\csc\alpha$.

*$x, \sqrt{a^2+x^2}$, use $x=a\tan\alpha$

*$\sqrt{1-x},\sqrt{1+x}$, use $x=a\cos2\alpha$

*$\sqrt{a-x}{x-b}, \sqrt{\dfrac{a-x}{x-b}}$ use $x=a\sin^2\theta +b\cos^2 \theta$. (Slightly esoteric, rare use)

A: I assume you want to simplify the expression.

$\sqrt{1-x^2}$ is defined only when $|x|\leq 1$. Hence, if we let $x=\sin \alpha$, note that for every possible value of $x$ we can select a value of $\alpha$.
Let $t=\arccos\left( \dfrac{x+\sqrt{1-x^2}}{\sqrt 2}\right)$.
Now,
$$t=\arccos \left(\dfrac{\sin \alpha + \cos \alpha}{\sqrt 2}\right)$$
Or
$$t=\arccos \left(\cos (\alpha-\pi/4)\right)=\alpha -\pi/4$$
This gives us $t=\arcsin x -\pi/4$.
Note: the above is valid only for certain values of $\alpha$. I have left this for you as an exercise(the values for which it is valid).
Edit:
$  t = \begin{cases}
\arcsin x-\pi/4,  & 1\geq x\geq 1/\sqrt 2 \\
\pi/4 -\arcsin x, & 1/\sqrt 2\geq x\geq -1
\end{cases}$
Corresponding Desmos plot:

A: We need to be very careful about the ranges while dealing with Inverse Trigonometric Functions(Statement)
Let $\arccos x=u\implies0\le u\le\pi,$
$x=\cos u,\sin u=+\sqrt{1-x^2}$
$$f(x)=\arccos\left(\dfrac{\cos u+\sin u}{\sqrt2}\right)=\arccos\left(\cos\left(u-\dfrac\pi4\right)\right)$$
Now $-\dfrac\pi4\le u-\dfrac\pi4\le\pi-\dfrac\pi4$
So if $u-\dfrac\pi4\ge0\iff x=\cos u\le\cos\dfrac\pi4=?,$
$$f(x)=u-\dfrac\pi4$$
If $u-\dfrac\pi4<0\iff x=\cos u>\cos\dfrac\pi4=?,$
$$f(x)=-\left(u-\dfrac\pi4\right)$$
Now use  Why it's true? $\arcsin(x) +\arccos(x) = \frac{\pi}{2}$

Yet another cowboy who played an important role for Ericsson in Russia was Karl Wilhelm Gerdhem, employed as an engineer by SAT in 1892. When Svensk-Dansk-Ryska Telefon AB won Russian concessions, Gerdhem was appointed head of the company with an office in Moscow. For four years he cooperated with Erik Englund on the intensive expansion of the network.
After his four years in Moscow, Gerdhem was posted to Mexico City, where for some years he directed the installation work for the operating company opened by Ericsson in 1907. The company's attempts to gain new operating concessions also took him for long periods to Argentina and China.

Brasilia, June 30 (RHC)-- A general strike is sweeping Brazil this Friday for the second time this year, protesting President Michel Temer's legislative proposals that would weaken labor laws and slash the country's social security safety net.
The general strike is organized by the Central Worker's Union, Popular Brasil, Fearless People, and a host of other social movements and worker's unions, with protests demanding the president's removal from office.
Various sectors are participating in the job action, especially workers in refineries, operating platforms and distribution centers of state oil company Petrobras.
According to trade union sources, the strike is taking place in Sao Paulo and the Federal District of Brasilia by bus and taxi drivers, bankers, public and private school teachers, and federal public servants, among other workers.
There are also actions coordinated in Rio de Janeiro, Pernambuco, Paraná, Rio Grande do Norte, Maranhao, Ceará, Matto Grosso and Rio Grande del Sur.
While the impetus of the general strike is based on opposing Temer's reforms, the overwhelming majority of Brazilians, 93 percent according to the latest Ipsos poll, reject Temer's presidency.
Labor reforms proposed by Temer include the elimination of payment for worker's commute from their contracts, a reduction in employer compensation for abuse, and allowing employers to reduce workers' salaries while increasing their work hours.
While Temer's vision of new labor laws would increase work hours, his radical proposal for pension reform would scrap the average retirement age of 54, making it mandatory that women retire at 62 and men at 65. He's also proposing a 20-year freeze on public spending.

Last month I wrote a post on 5 reasons why kids should work (via an ongoing partnership with Fidelity/MEFA). The post kicked off such an interesting conversation on social media (including someone who accused me of being an advocate for sweatshops! #missingthepoint), as well as an Edit Your Life podcast episode that will release tomorrow morning.
I always learn something when I record a podcast episode with Asha Dornfest, and one fascinating point she brought up during our conversation is that working brings about a totally new parenting challenge: that of teaching kids what it means to be a professional, which involves different skills than being a good student or friend.
This conversation thread totally got my wheels turning, specifically around two questions: 1) What are the skills kids need to be successful in the workplace? 2) What can we do to help kids develop those skills now in everyday life? Here's what I came up with. If you have additional thoughts, I'd love to hear them in the comments!
Punctuality is a must when you have a job. I have always taken issue with people who say, "Oh, I'm always late!" because it feels manipulative and disrespectful. I mean seriously, if you know you are chronically late, why not set your alarm accordingly so you can be on time?
WHAT YOU CAN WORK ON NOW: School/camp/extracurricular/appointment timeliness. Take measures to make departure smoother, e.g., lay out clothes the night before, don't allow phone time until kids are ready for the day, have kids make their lunch the night before, and make kids aware of time by giving them time warnings (e.g., "10 minutes until we are walking out the door!").
I temped my way through college and worked some unbelievably boring jobs. Instead of just sitting there staring blankly into space (as some of my co-workers did), I looked for things to do. I suggested things I could do. I asked for things to do. Honestly, this was more survival on my part, but it made me appear very motivated and my employers loved me for it. And I think all of these experiences have contributed to me becoming a creative problem solver in my current work.
WHAT YOU CAN WORK ON NOW: These days parents fear boredom; they think it's a reflection of them not offering enough options. This is not the case; your job is not to be 24/7 entertainment! Let your kids get bored. If they come complaining to you about being bored simply tell them they need to go figure it out. This is how they will develop their creativity and problem solving skills.
WHAT YOU CAN WORK ON NOW: Initiate screen-free times in your home so phone-free times don't seem so dire. One of my favorite things to do for myself is leave my phone upstairs in my office when I have finished work for the day. This helps me avoid the phone-reaching reflex in the evenings and stay focused on family.
When I was in college I worked in the circulation department of the library and in retrospect it's kind of funny; it was totally socially acceptable to study while you waited for someone to come check out a book, but one of the reference librarians gave my supervisor a hard time because I was knitting. My supervisor was so kind when she brought it up and though I was embarrassed and felt bad about making her look bad, I took responsibility for the criticism and became a lot more proactive about being on the job.
WHAT YOU CAN WORK ON NOW: There's a lot of special snowflake-ing out there, which leaves kids less equipped to deal with criticism. Start talking about criticism (constructive or otherwise) now -- for example, how it's not the end all be all, and that you glean what you can from it and move forward.
Well, wow, doesn't this sound very Tiger Mom of me (which is sort of funny, because I am a totally terrible Tiger Mom)! My point is this: if your kid gets versed in #2 and #3 above, they will likely exceed expectations. When I was a temp I was repeatedly fawned over for basic competence. (Note: I worked with a temp who regularly printed letters from the director of the institute UPSIDE DOWN ON LETTERHEAD.) It was easy to shine. But I have also had other experiences where I just really loved my supervisors and wanted to do well by them so I tried to go above and beyond the call of duty. When you do that, it shows.
WHAT YOU CAN WORK ON NOW: Teach your kids to value and take pride in quality work. The rest will follow.
So I worked at this temp job where one of the temps thought it would be really funny to stage a coup of sorts. I don't even remember what it was all about but I know it seemed wrong to me. This guy was not exactly a master criminal and left voice mails on all of our office lines to tell us what the coup plan was. My gut told me this was totally not a good idea, so even though it was really awkward socially, I opted out. The other temps who opted in all got fired.
WHAT YOU CAN WORK ON NOW: OK, so this is basically a peer pressure example. Talk to your kids about how important it is to not always follow the flock and to follow instincts. This will be an ongoing conversation that will serve your kids so well!
Being the parent of a kid who doesn't like to rock the boat and can have a hard time articulating what she wants, one of the things I have been working on so much with Laurel is advocating for herself and using her voice. This is especially important when kids are on a job because they don't have the proximate support of your parents on hand, and may feel intimidated by the boss-employee relationship.
WHAT YOU CAN WORK ON NOW: This is an ongoing conversation to have with kids. Share examples from when you were a kid to help illustrate your point. Use the small moments of everyday life to encourage them to make decisions.
Disclosure: This post reflects a compensated editorial partnership with Fidelity/MEFA. All opinions about kids and work, and the fact that they should totally dump some of their earnings into their 529 are, of course, my own.

I am urging all Atlantic County Democratic Party Delegates to support Hector Tavarez for U.S. Congress on March 20, 2022."
— Eric Scheffler, Atlantic County Sheriff
EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, March 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Police Captain (Ret.) Hector Tavarez, Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress in New Jersey's 2nd District, announces the endorsement of Atlantic County Sheriff Eric Scheffler. "Eric and I have known each other for a very long time, we are very similar in character and our passion to serve our communities. I am proud and excited to have the endorsement of Atlantic County Sheriff Eric Scheffler as my friend, our great Sheriff and as the highest vote getter in Atlantic county history," said Hector Tavarez.
Hector Tavarez was born in Hammonton, grew up in Mullica Township and has lived, been educated and worked in South Jersey his entire life as part of a large and proud American family with Hispanic heritage. It's here in South Jersey that his wife of 32 years, Denise, and he have raised their three incredible children and have been blessed with two amazing granddaughters. Hector is a retired Egg Harbor Township police captain and founder and Executive Director of the Police Activities League of Atlantic County, a non-profit youth organization he founded in 1989. He has spent his entire career serving the community.
Below is the endorsement letter from Atlantic County Sheriff Eric Scheffler.
We have known each other for nearly 30 years, sharing similar careers in law enforcement, a love and passion for our communities and the people we serve. Over the years I have enjoyed partnering with you on numerous projects. I have been impressed with your dedication and work ethic. While you have many successes, your ability to lead and get things done is most evident in the success and growth of the Police Activities League of Egg Harbor Township and now the Police Activities League of Atlantic County. Your success, the success of your team, and the success of your organization is truly amazing.
On January 6, 2021, you made your decision to run for the United States Congress. Like you, I believe in the famous saying, "The only thing necessary for evil to succeed is for good people to sit and do nothing." We have never been ones to sit and do nothing. The horrible events of January 6th inspired you to commit to doing even more for our country and communities. I stand with you!
I am inspired by your story and your commitment to our community. I think you will make an excellent congressman. I fully endorse your campaign for the United States Congress in New Jersey's 2nd Congressional District in 2022. I know you are ready for the next step, to lead for your country. You have my encouragement, you have my support, you have my friendship and you have my vote!

There are a lot of older individuals living in Castlecrag. It would be good to have a Castlecrag to Chatswood service once a week and a Castlecrag to Artarmon another day of the weekI had done a door knock along with my daughter for a charity run she was doing along The Battlement, Castlecrag and I was surprised at the number of individuals in their 70's and over age bracket. If a bus loop exists in other parts of Castlecrag, we certainly deserve one here in Castlecrag given the high age demographic prevalent herebest regardsRay Pavri

We initially operated a service via Castlecrag, Northbridge and Willoughby East on Tuesdays when the service commenced in 2010. Unfortunately the patronage was so low we changed the Tuesday service to a Castle Cove to Chatswood service earlier this year. However, your suggestions for Castlecrag to Chatswood or Artarmon may prove to be more viable.
SBH over 8 years ago
The concept is excellent and I applaud the council for initiating it. Reaching the people (whom I think) most likely to use the service (here I am assuming the aged population, to begin with) will be necessary to make the service viable, and it cannot be assumed they will hear about it via the internet. Perhaps a slip added to rates notices could be considered?
Yes, making people aware through a letter drop would be worthwhile. Most older people would not use the internet and putting in among the normal council newsletter it could be lost in the broader details of the newsletter.regardsRay

Greywater comes from tub and shower drains, bathroom sinks, and washing machines. It is not wastewater from toilets and kitchens, which is considered blackwater and can only be processed at sewage treatment plants. Drinking water is precious. Use it twice to minimize environmental impact and save on utility bills.
How can I recycle greywater?
How greywater is recycled determines how it's used. A basic laundry to landscape system limits landscaping to what can be gravity fed. Our Greenergy unit will support a drip-irrigation system of any size. The combination of filters with sand, carbon and other media, along with UV light, delivers water suitable for subsurface irrigation. With Greenergy, you save money and minimize environmental impact, all at the same time!
Is Greenergy a smart choice?
The Greenergy system uses the best available technology. Our intuitive design is based on real-world construction and plumbing experience. Biology, chemistry, and health/building department codes were used to develop a greywater recycling unit that is easy to install, use, and maintain. Ours is the only IAPMO certified, UPC listed system on the market, just like every other trusted plumbing fixture in your home. Be safe, go green.

Hans Ulrich von Oertzen
Hans Ulrich von Oertzen was born in Berlin to an aristocratic family on 6th March, 1915. His father, Captain Ulrich von Oertzen, served during the First World War and was killed on the Western Front on 27th February, 1916. He was brought up by his widowed mother on the family estate at Rattey near Strasburg in Mecklenburg. He attended the boarding school at Salem Castle on Lake Constance and graduated in 1933.
Oertzen joined the German Army and during the Second World War. He was promoted to Major and served in Army Group Centre under General-Major Henning von Tresckow. He had been an early supporter of the Nazi Party. One of his friends said that: "He was for many years able to see only the side of National Socialism attractive to a soldier: the assertion of discipline, the reestablishment of military primacy, and the revision of the Versailles Treaty." The turning point for him was the Night of the Long Knives and by 1938 he was contemplating treason. "Hitler," he said, "is a whirling dervish. He must be shot down." (1)
Trescow set about methodically assembling on to the staff of Army Group Centre men who would help to turn it into an instrument for a coup. In January, 1942, Von Tresckow established Operation Valkyrie. Members of the group included Field Marshal Erwin von Witzleben, General Friedrich Olbricht, Colonel-General Ludwig Beck, General Erich Fellgiebel, General Paul von Hase, Lieutenant Fabian Schlabrendorff, Wolf-Heinrich Helldorf, Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, General-Major Hans Oster, Wilhelm Leuschner, Ulrich Hassell, Hans Dohnanyi, Carl Langbehn, Carl Goerdeler, Julius Leber, Helmuth von Moltke, Peter von Wartenburg, Johannes Popitz and Jakob Kaiser. (2)
According to Hans Gisevius, who was also a member, during 1942, several senior military officers, joined the conspiracy. This included Field Marshal Günther von Kluge, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, General Eduard Wagner, General Fritz Lindemann, Lieutenant-Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, Lieutenant Werner von Haeften, Colonel Albrecht Metz von Quirnheim, General-Major Helmuth Stieff, and Colonel-General Erich Hoepner. "These generals, either because of their strength of numbers, their key positions for a revolt, or because of the recognition that the fate of the class was at stake, began to feel an increasing sense of unity." (3)
On 26th March 1944, he married Ingrid Langenn. A sselection of 240 letters he wrote to her provide an insight into his thoughts during that period. On 20th July, 1944, Claus von Stauffenberg and Werner von Haeften left Berlin to meet with Hitler at the Wolf' Lair. After a two-hour flight from Berlin, they landed at Rastenburg at 10.15. Stauffenberg had a briefing with Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, Chief of Armed Forces High Commandat, at 11.30, with the meeting with Hitler due to take place at 12.30. As soon as the meeting was over, Stauffenberg, met up with Haeften, who was carrying the two bombs in his briefcase. They then went into the toilet to set the time-fuses in the bombs. They only had time to prepare one bomb when they were interrupted by a junior officer who told them that the meeting with Hitler was about to start. Stauffenberg then made the fatal decision to place one of the bombs in his briefcase. "Had the second device, even without the charge being set, been placed in Stauffenberg's bag alone with the first, it would have been detonated by the explosion, more than doubling the effect. Almost certainly, in such an event, no one would have survived." (4)
When he entered the wooden briefing hut, twenty-four senior officers were in assembled around a huge map table on two heavy oak supports. Stauffenberg had to elbow his way forward a little in order to get near enough to the table and he had to place the briefcase so that it was in no one's way. Despite all his efforts, however, he could only get to the right-hand corner of the table. After a few minutes, Stauffenberg excused himself, saying that he had to take a telephone call from Berlin. There was continual coming and going during the briefing conferences and this did not raise any suspicions. (5)
Stauffenberg and Haeften went straight to a building about 200 hundred yards away consisting of bunkers and reinforced huts. Shortly afterwards, according to eyewitnesses: "A deafening crack shattered the midday quiet, and a bluish-yellow flame rocketed skyward... and a dark plume of smoke rose and hung in the air over the wreckage of the briefing barracks. Shards of glass, wood, and fiberboard swirled about, and scorched pieces of paper and insulation rained down." (6)
Stauffenberg and Haeften observed a body covered with Hitler's cloak being carried out of the briefing hut on a stretcher and assumed he had been killed. They got into a car but luckily the alarm had not yet been given when they reached Guard Post 1. The Lieutenant in charge, who had heard the blast, stopped the car and asked to see their papers. Stauffenberg who was given immediate respect with his mutilations suffered on the front-line and his aristocratic commanding exterior; said he must go to the airfield at once. After a short pause the Lieutenant let them go. (7)
According to eyewitness testimony and a subsequent investigation by the Gestapo, Stauffenberg's briefcase containing the bomb had been moved farther under the conference table in the last seconds before the explosion in order to provide additional room for the participants around the table. Consequently, the table acted as a partial shield, protecting Hitler from the full force of the blast, sparing him from serious injury of death. The stenographer Heinz Berger, died that afternoon, and three others, General Rudolf Schmundt, General Günther Korten, and Colonel Heinz Brandt did not recover from their wounds. Hitler's right arm was badly injured but he survived. (8)
Adolf Hitler, seized by a "titanic fury and an Unquenchable thirst for revenge" ordered Heinrich Himmler and Ernst Kaltenbrunner to arrest "every last person who had dared to plot against him". Hans Ulrich von Oertzen arrested and interrogated by General Lieutenant Karl Freiherr von Thüngen, who was also involved in the conspiracy. There was no evidence of complicity in the plot until the next morning when a secretary reported having seen him with Stauffenberg. When the Gestapo arrived he managed to hide two grenades. "Shortly before he was to be led away he held one to his head and detonated it. He collapsed on the floor, grievously wounded. With all his remaining strength, he dragged himself to where the second grenade lay hidden, shoved it in his mouth, and pulled the pin." (9)

At the centre of the plot were such senior officers as Major General Henning von Tresckow, chief of staff in Army Group Center on the Russian front; Colonel General Erich Hoepner, the commander of an armoured force who had been dismissed by Hitler in December 1941; Colonel Friedrich Olbricht, head of the Supply Section of the Reserve Army; Colonel General Karl Heinrich von Stuelpnagel, military governor of France; Major General Hans Oster, chief of staff of Abwehr; and Field Marshal Erwin von Witzleben, who has been retired from active service in 1942. Added to these senior members were a number of younger officers who believed that the Third Reich was a catastrophe for Germany and were willing to gamble their lives on the outcome of the plot.

On the evening of July 20 an overtly confident Count Helldorf had averred that the police would not dare lay a finger on him. In fact, the investigators hardly hesitated before pouncing. Other conspirators, like General Eduard Wagner, escaped their fates by committing suicide. Major Hans Ulrich von Oertzen who had urged the military district headquarters on Hohenzollerndamm to support the uprising, managed in the bedlam that surrounded his arrest to hide two grenades. Shortly before he was to be led away he held one to his head and detonated it. He collapsed on the floor, grievously wounded. With all his remaining strength, he dragged himself to where the second grenade lay hidden, shoved it in his mouth, and pulled the pin. Suicides such as this only extended the circle of suspects to include friends, relatives, and colleagues.

Brazilian bombshell Claudia Alende — who rose to fame on social media among her international fans for her striking resemblance to Hollywood star Megan Fox — recently took to her Instagram page and treated her fans to a very racy photograph.
In the snap, the model was featured stripping down to her underwear and posing topless. She stood under a shower to flaunt her dripping wet body, while she looked straight into the camera to pull off a very sexy pose.
Since full-on nudity is not allowed on Instagram, the 25-year-old model covered her breasts with the help of her arms. She let her raven-colored hair down and wore minimal makeup to keep it simple and sexy.
The picture — which was captured in Los Angeles, California, per the geotag — racked up more than 63,000 likes and almost 900 comments within less than an hour of going live.
In order to express their admiration for the model's hot body, fans used explicit words and phrases and showered her with various complimentary phrases.
"Why are you so sexy," one of her fans questioned Claudia. "Your hotness has left me speechless," said another. As Claudia asked her followers where they all are from, most fans replied to the model's question and wrote about their home countries. From Brazil to the U.S., and from Egypt to Australia, a quick glance at the comments section shows that her admirers are spread all over the world.

Prior to posting the racy snap, Claudia treated her fans to a video wherein she was featured modeling for the energy drink brand Bang Energy. In the clip, the stunner could be seen wearing a see-through dress that allowed her to flaunt an ample amount of cleavage.
Claudia wore a full face of makeup which included a slick of nude lipstick, mauve eye shadow and lots of eyeliner and mascara. She let her silky hair flow freely and finished off her look with a pair of white boots.
As of this writing, the video has amassed more than 419,000 views and over 600 comments, which proves that the model is, indeed, immensely popular on the photo-sharing website.

Although Claudia is predominately popular for being an Instagram model, she is also a singer and has a decent fan base in her home country of Brazil. Prior to becoming a model, Claudia participated in Brazil's Miss Bumbum contest — a show that looks for the woman with the best derriere in the country.
According to an article by The Daily Star, although Claudia didn't win the contest, she became a hot favorite on the show because of her beautiful looks and body.
Shortly after the show finished, so many people started following her on Instagram that her name was included in Forbes' Top 15 Instagram Influencers list. At present, she has 9.8 million followers on Instagram and the number seems to be growing with each passing day.
