I believe this will encourage us to be more mindful on how to communicate.
Everyone in your Slack workspace.
Everyone are currently online in the channel + notification badge.
Our attentions in a day are limited, and I believe most of people by default snoozed their notifications, so a notification badge usually means something important is happening.
Use @everyone, @channel, and @here for emergency-type reasons. Avoid being The Boy Who Cried Wolf and limit their usage to truly monumental events.

These days a colleague chimed in after he heard that I struggled running the basic w3schools.com XQuery Tutorial in eXist.
This post is more or less a condensed protocol of the amazing session, tightly packed with a mix of XQuery basics and pearls.
XML Query (short XQuery) is a functional, side effect-free, expression-oriented programming language with a simple type system, summed up by Kilpeläinen, Pekka (2012). "Using XQuery for problem solving"
XQuery maps with Java Maps (since XQuery 3).
Executing either of those queries result in the expected sequence.
The empty sequence is: ().
Tip: The snippet 1 to 3 can become quite handy to check if you can execute XPath 2 expressions.
We investigated two ways to work with the example data books.xml from within eXide of eXist.
Save the XML document books.xml in a folder named transfer.
Next step in the tutorial is to use the doc() function to open the data file: doc("books.xml"). You might already guess it: This doesn't work out of the box in an unnamed editor window.
Store the XML document books.xml from the w3schools tutorial in the collection example.
Create a scratchpad.xq in the same collection.
Inside the scratchpad, the relative name works fine.
At this point, we abandoned the tutorial path and jumped to FLWOR Expressions (pronounced "flower").
It's constructed of the keywords: for, let, where, order by, and return.
The example above will call string-length and surprise, surprise - returns an integer.
Tip: The "Function Finder" allows to easily browse the XPath and XQuery Functions and Operators 3.1 available.
Oops. That's more than the expected 4 from the books.xml document.
Note: The query above returns the title elements of all documents in the whole database.
That's the expected output. I matches the results from our previous example doc("file://transfer/books.xml")/bookstore/book/title.
The pipe expressed with a !, allows to chain the processing of sequences.
The items of the squence are passed to the next pipe and can be used via .
This results in a sequence of 4 elements only. The distinct lengths of the local names.
That was a big workload of info. And still no single line of Java. In a future post I'll show how to query an eXist database with Java.


Is Facebook a guilty pleasure? Im a daily (ab)user but only have one person on my list who Ive never actually met. My very good friend Darlene insisted that I put Hughsie H on my list He lives in Leeds and hes the drummer in a band and youd love him cos I do you cant argue with that.
Turns out hes the drummer in the Rent Boys and when I saw a post from him that they were playing in Leeds, I thought Ill have to go and check them out. It was the same night as The Vaselines but Hughsie H assured me they wouldnt be on until after 11. So, after one of the best nights out in a long time (The Vaselines and Haight-Ashbury were awesome!) I dutifully got myself along to Santiagos in town.
I got there about half eleven and as I entered there was a rather unusual act on – looked like someones mum/aunty, singing along to a 77 Iggy Pop soundtrackcouldve been interesting..but after what Id just seen at the Brudenell.. I asked the very competent DJ (anyone who plays Jonathan Richman is alright by me) if Id missed them No, they should be on in half an hour.
Ive not been upstairs at Santiagos in a long time but assume that the soft furnishings, the underwear dotted about, the soft toy filed sofa, were all the doing of the band (they had a rather cool furry backdrop). I didnt recognise Hughsie in the frightfully young and well-dressed crowd until the band squeezed past the crowd to get on stage. Hughsie was wearing a spangly silver jump-suit and tiara and the whole band looked very RocknRoll!
As for the music Think The Stooges – Raw Power tinged with a psychedelic undertone. The lead singer didnt do it for me unfortunately but then I guess Im not their target audience. Still, I look forward to hearing the single when it finaaly arrives on my doorstep. My ears were complaining of too much noise after a few numbers so I had to leave still without meeting Hughsie. Next time!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
TILE PREMIER AND THE WAR.
170 THE EDITOR OF THE " SPEOTAT011.1 SIR,—There have been two "shocks to confidence." The Draft Treaty was one. It is lamentable that Mr. Gladstone's speech last night should have been the other. That Mr. Disraeli should have confused matters by bringing forward an obsolete guaran- tee was unfortunate ; but at the present moment, and when every man's real thought was of Belgium, the leader of England should not only ignore Belgium, but reply to Mr. Disraeli by deprecating a stringent "general view and doctrine of guarantee," makes one's blood rise. And when Mr. Gladstone, to whom it is the fashion to look to express the highest moral sense of the country, does not even hint the smoulder of a hypothetical indignation at the conspiracy which has been going on, and takes the oppor- tunity of proffering a gushing and almost a weeping friendship to France and Prussia alike, some of us feel that there are morals and morals, and murmur a prayer to be preserved from "the unco' gude." But the orator was roused at last. He could not stand Mr. Disraeli's little Opposition hits, and the fire that was so lacking where it was wanted was struck fast enough in the rush of a party defence. Take it all in all, and making full allowance for the necessities of official reticence, the delivery of anc,h a speech, at
such a moment, by such a man, so placed, is a public calamity.—

Research literature points out that difficulties in integrating career and family demands are some of the central stress factors in teachers' lives around the world. The negative consequences of work-family conflict are numerous and influence teachers' wellness in careers as well as in their private lives. In particular, it seems that pre-service teachers are not fully aware of this difficulty, rather quite the opposite, while studies describe one of the main motivations for choosing the teaching profession as the hope to reconcile private and professional lives. Due to the importance of the subject for the teachers' well-being and considering the small number of studies focusing on this issue, the objective of the current paper is to investigate the pre-service teachers' future perspectives and in-service teachers' attitudes concerning the work-family relations.
Much of the research related to the work-family interface has focused on the conflict between work and family. Conflict is often conceptualized as role pressures from work and family that are mutually incompatible, such that participation in one role is made more difficult by virtue of participation in the other role (Greenhaus & Beutell, 1985). According to Frone (2003), the relevant terms are work to-family (WFC) and family-to-work conflict (FWC). Along with the difficulties arise from the integration between work and family life, research literature describes beneficial relationships between these two spheres (Greenhaus & Powell, 2006). Although there is less research on facilitation than conflict, research evidence indicates that WFF and FWF are two distinct constructs (Cinamon & Rich, 2010). Both forms of facilitation have been found to be related to a range of outcomes. In their conclusion of the review of the work and family relations in terms of conflict and facilitation, Whiston and Cinamon (2015) point out the lack of research data regarding the facilitation attitudes. These authors describe WFC as a prevalent issue in our society that is associated with family outcomes such as family distress, marital discord, and family dissatisfaction. The primary antecedents to WFC are in the work domain, and those with the largest correlations tend to be work stress and job demands. Furthermore, it appears that the most potent antecedents of FWC are family-related factors such as family stress and conflict. Both WFC and FWC are associated with numerous negative outcomes that affect individuals. WFC is related to an influence on family variables such as marital and family dissatisfaction (Carlson & Kacmar, 2000; Frone, Yardley & Markel, 1997). WFC also appears to influence factors in the work domain, given that WFC has been found to be negatively correlated with job satisfaction and work performance (Allen et al., 2000; Hoobler et al., 2010).
FWC has been found to be associated with work dissatisfaction and job malfunction, lower job performance and burnout (Carlson & Kacmar, 2000; Cinamon & Rich, 2010). Byron (2005) found that family stress, when compared with other family variables, had the largest correlational effect size with FWC. Spousal relations affected FWC as well; when spousal support decreased and criticism increased, FWC also increased (Grzywacz & Marks, 2000). FWC can also emerge from work-related demands (Whiston & Cinamon, 2015). Strain-related demands at work, which had a strong correlation with WFC, were found in even stronger correlation with FWC (Voydanoff, 2005). WFC among mother teachers is essential in their professional occupation, which is different from other occupations. Findings indicate that mother teachers feel that the conflict is expressed mainly in the measure of influence work has on their home more than the influence the home has on their work (Greenhaus & Beutell, 1985).
The research implies a sample of 728 pre-and in-service teachers in Israel and Switzerland. The Swiss sub-sample includes 389 participants of all disciplines (primary and secondary school) in the University of Teacher Education BEJUNE; the Israeli participants are 339 teachers of all disciplines in the Beit Berl College. The study aims at answering the following research question: Would there be any differences between Swiss and Israeli teachers regarding the anticipated WFC/FWC levels? Our hypotheses are the following: in-service teachers in both countries will demonstrate higher levels of WFC/FWC than pre-service teachers; women will express higher levels of anticipated WFF and FWF than men within the two countries; there will be differences between female and male pre-service teachers at the same stage of their studies regarding their levels of anticipated WFC/FWC and WFF/FWF within the two countries. A questionnaire has been administered in both countries to measure the teachers' perceptions regarding work-family relations. It includes four parts. The first concerns respondents' personal information (age, gender, marital status). The second part is adapted from the Life Roles Salience Scale (LRSS) measuring the attribution of importance to life roles. Originally it included 40 items: 5 items for each of the 8 dimensions of investigation (occupation role reward value, occupational role commitment, parental role reward value, parental role commitment, marital role reward value, marital role commitment, homecare role reward value, homecare role commitment). In the current research, we have decided not to include both of the homecare dimensions, because considered as irrelevant for our purposes. The third part is based on the questionnaire of Wayne, Musisca and Fleeson (2004) that includes 16 items: 4 items for each of the 4 dimensions investigated (WFC, FWC, WFF, FWF), based on a 5-level Likert scale. The fourth part included open questions regarding the perspectives the participants had about work-family integration while choosing the teaching career. The original LRSS and WF/FW/F/C questionnaires are in English. We used Hebrew versions of them for the Israeli sample and French versions for the Swiss sample. For the quantitative data, statistical tests have been performed to compare participants according to conflicts, facilitations, and attribution of importance to life roles. The qualitative data have been treated by a synoptic analysis (selection of specific sequences as examples of representations) and a "diagnostic" posture through which, by a contrastive approach, we identified the key-factors evoked by teachers through discursive indexes.
The main results indicate that in-service teachers in the global sample of the two countries demonstrate significantly higher levels of work to family conflict in two of the items: "Stress at work makes you irritable at home" and "Your job makes you feel too tired to do the things that need attention at home." Within the countries, we found that the Israeli in-service teachers demonstrate higher levels of WFC/FWC than the pre-service teachers. In Switzerland, there are no significant differences in WFC/FWC between in-service teachers and pre-service teachers. Comparing the Israeli pre-service teachers to the Swiss pre-services teachers, the Israeli pre-service teachers have significantly higher levels of FWC. Also, we found that all facilitation attitudes' levels are significantly higher among the Israeli pre-service teachers than the Swiss pre-service teachers. The Israeli in-service teachers demonstrate significantly higher levels of general conflict relations and FWC than Swiss in-service teachers. All facilitation attitudes levels are significantly higher among the Israeli in-service teachers than the Swiss in-service teachers. Concerning the gender, women express more facilitation attitudes than men in the general sample of the two countries and express more facilitation and conflict attitudes than men at first year of studies in the general sample and within the Swiss group. In general, the levels of the Israeli sample regarding conflict, facilitation and importance attribution to life-roles are consistently higher than the levels in the Swiss sample. Results within the two countries are generally consistent with global research data regarding pre-service teachers' expectations about future work-family life, only emphasizing the in-service conflictual perspectives. These findings invite us to reassure the need of addressing this aspect in teacher education programs and novice teachers' supervision.

Research for the benefit of education and society


MSE graduate student and NSF Graduate Research Fellow Joshua Taillon.
Silicon carbide (SiC), Clark School Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) graduate student Joshua Taillon explains, is a material that has "immense potential" to improve the efficiency and performance of electronic devices for high-power applications, including renewable energy, aerospace equipment, communications systems, and electric vehicles.
"The primary benefit of silicon carbide is that it can be used in many environments where [typical] silicon-based devices simply cannot function," he explains, "–at high temperatures, high power levels, in high radiation environments, or in space. Silicon carbide-based sensors, for example, can be operated at temperatures up to about 900 degrees Celsius. Ordinary silicon breaks down at about 350 degrees." SiC also maintains its stability in these extreme environments longer than ordinary silicon, he adds, which could lead to savings in the form of devices that need to be replaced less often.
All microelectronics rely on an interface between a semiconductor (typically silicon) and an oxide layer (typically silicon dioxide). Despite SiC's advantages as a semiconductor, the commercialization of devices that use it has been limited due to atomic-scale defects that occur at these interfaces.
Taillon's search for answers that could lead to overcoming this fundamental flaw now has the support of the National Science Foundation (NSF), which has awarded him a Graduate Research Fellowship. He is honored to have received the award, which he says will assure his financial security and give him the freedom to explore additional areas of research.
Taillon, advised by MSE professor Lourdes Salamanca-Riba, uses techniques including transmission electron microscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy to characterize the interface of SiC-based electronics in order to learn more about the material's performance-limiting defects. He collaborates with electronic device researchers from Rutgers University, Auburn University, and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory on the work, which has been presented at several conferences and published in the Journal of Applied Physics. The team, one of a few applying these microscopy and spectroscopy techniques to SiC systems, hopes its research will lead to a better understanding of the fundamental physics that control them.
After earning his B.S. is in Materials Science and Engineering from Cornell University, Taillon chose to study MSE at the Clark School because of its expert faculty, location near and partnerships with national labs, and its focus on the development of materials for energy applications.
"I have had access to the highest-quality characterization tools–both here and at NIST [the National Institute of Standards and Technology]–and am surrounded by faculty and students who are driven and passionate about using their research talents to positively affect the world," he says. "It has been an incredible learning experience to be part of ground-breaking research that has such immediate real-world applications."
After earning his Ph.D., he would like to continue his research in either an industry or government setting. He has also developed an interest in federal science policy, and is considering how he could contribute to the government's decision-making process. "[I] think that there is a critical need for advanced researchers to have a stronger impact informing policymakers on scientific issues," he says.

The Decrypting Crypto Podcast
Many people wonder if the Federal Reserve is really printing money. Varied schools of thought exist behind the value of money, how it gets injected into a country's economy, and how it impacts the private sector. On this episode of Money For the Rest of Us David offers insights into this complex subject, all while giving you the best information regarding the Federal Reserve, its open market operations, bank reserves, and why we aren't experiencing hyperinflation. It's sure to be an educational episode that you don't want to miss.
Can the Federal Reserve create money without printing it?
The US Federal Reserve is not able to produce physical money in the form of coins or bills. That's the responsibility of the US Treasury, their Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the US Mint. The Federal Reserve, however, can "print money" when it purchases U.S. Treasury bonds with money it creates by adding to its member bank reserves.
Kimberly Amadeo, a writer at The Balance, explains this buying/selling of US treasuries by saying, "One of the Fed's tools is open market operations. The Fed buys Treasuries and other securities from banks and replaces them with credit. All central banks have this unique ability to create credit out of thin air. That's just like printing money."
How do banks create money for individual borrowers?
Contrary to what many believe may happen, banks do not transfer money from a different account or withdraw it from a central vault for loans. Rather, David explains that banks "create money out of nothing" and withdraw it when loans are repaid. Thus, excess central bank reserves are not a necessary precondition for a bank to grant credit and therefore create money. Banks typically only have to have 10% of all accounts in reserves. If a bank lacks the reserves to cover the payments, it can be borrowed from an inter-bank market or central bank system.
Why haven't we seen hyperinflation due to these processes?
The United States hasn't seen an influx of hyperinflation because the private sector hasn't been willing to borrow enough funds to strain the current capacity of the economic machine. David further explains the lack of inflation by using the two money aggregates that exist in the US: M1 and M2. M1 is composed of currencies, paper, bills, notes, traveler's checks, and checking accounts (demand-deposits). M2 is made up of everything in M2 plus savings accounts, CDs, retail money market funds, etc. In March 2009, at the height of the recession, M1 levels were around $1.6 trillion. As of April 2018, the M1 was at $3.7 trillion – a 130% increase! Does this mean households are wealthier? Not necessarily. The majority of them simply have more liquidity, because Treasury Bonds were sold to the Federal Reserve in exchange for checking account deposits.

[6:40] Two ways to address this question
[11:50] So how do individual banks create money for borrowers?

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich reveals timetable for Derrick White after serious toe injury
Kriel Ibarrola
The dreaded injury bug has claimed another victim as San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White recently suffered a non-displaced fracture of the proximal phalanx of his left second toe. On Saturday, Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich revealed the extent of White's injury and revealed the long timetable for his recovery, per San Antonio Express-News' Jeff McDonald.
Pop says a rough timetable for Derrick White to return from his fractured toe is 4-to-6 weeks. Given the condensed nature of the NBA schedule, there are a ton of games in that window.
— Jeff McDonald (@JMcDonald_SAEN) January 9, 2021
Coach Pop hasn't been able to hide his frustrations as of late, as his team continues to be ravaged by injuries at the beginning of the 2020-21 campaign. White, after all, has only played one game this season and is once again back on the injured list. The 26-year-old combo guard last played on January 2 against the Los Angeles Lakers, where he scored nine points in 23 minutes of action.
A late first-round pick back in 2017, Derrick White worked his butt off to become a staple in Popovich's rotation in recent years. He was a bright spot in the Spurs' rather underwhelming 2019-20 campaign, tallying solid numbers of 11.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in 68 games.
San Antonio rewarded him handsomely in the offseason with a four-year extension worth $73 million. But looks like the Spurs won't get immediate returns from that investment since White will be out for a considerable amount of time. Despite the challenges they're facing, the Spurs have managed to hang in there and accumulated a 4-4 slate so far.
A lot of Western Conference teams have re-tooled nicely prior to the season, making it harder for the Spurs to clinch a playoff spot. They missed the postseason last year for the first time in 23 seasons.

Family Allowance Issues
Decline in the desire to have children is a common problem in the developed world, and it is a challenge in post-soviet countries, including Hungary. Changing lifestyles, perceptions and financial stress are the underlying reasons. The Czech, Slovakian, Spanish, Portuguese, Irish and French government interventions are analysed with focus on family subsidies and fiscal policies, in comparison to the decisions taken by the Hungarian government after 2010. Research is built on the assumption that child benefits (family allowances and housing subsidies) increase the willingness to have children.
András Giday – Szilvia Szegő
Towards the "Child-to-Parent" Based Pension Allowance ("C2P")
Our basic assumption is that the pension reform, paid employment and child rearing (including housework) are inextricably interlinked and a policy for one "life stage" cannot be reformed without consideration to the entire family life. The proposed child-to-parent based pension allowance ("C2P") aims at remedying the worsening interconnectedness of two different deficit types: population and financial deficit in the pension regime. The demographic basis of a sustainable population and pension scheme necessarily includes children. We discuss a model which can improve interaction between child-rearing and the pension scheme. The current pension schemes typically allocate only a minimal allowance (about 2-3 per cent of the total pension budget) to those who raise children.
Bence Balassa – Tamás Bezsenyi
The Organisation of Accelerating Economic Offenses During the Change of Regime
In his book titled The Shape of Time. Remarks on the History of Things, George Kubler criticised the nature of chronologically and linearly approached and explained historical concept. He claims that applying biological metaphors to the periodical changes in history results in the adverse consequence that it presumes repetitious life cycles in different eras of the past. Shaping a new criminal method or trick is mutatis mutandis an initial sequence-starter object, just like a painting projecting a new, original ap-proach. However, not only the existence of the original work of art is necessary, it must be subject to reliable verification, we cannot always identify the first perpetrator of the given criminal method.
Tamás Prugberger – Hilda Tóth – Andrea Szőllős
The Development of the Hungarian Labour and Public Service Laws After the Regime Change
The first Hungarian government that took office after the change of regime was also the first in the post-communist region to codify regulations similar to the West-European labour and public service law. The intent of the new Hungarian codification was to reconcile employers' and employees' interests. Hungary joined the European Union on 1 May, 2004. In the course of the accession negotiations, many labour law directives were incorporated into Hungarian law and order. Therefore, our labour law regulations could be regarded as EU-compliant. When the legislature re-codified labour law in 2012, the aim was to confront international economic challenges so as to make labour law regulations more flexible and increase employment and economic growth. Meanwhile, significant modifications in the public sector directly served this goal by establishing a new life and career model for civil and public servants.

Speaking ahead of the All Ireland Senior Football Final in Croke Park on Sunday, Dublin's Lord Mayor calls on all Dublin supporters to give their full support not only to the Dubs, but to the 'other' Dublin team of boys and girls in the Artane Band by giving them a special cheer when they parade in front of Hill 16.
"And I'm not alone. This week, members of Irish SOCA and SOCA UK (Sufferers of Child Abuse) came out in support of my cause. Like me, these were men forced into industrial schools and some of those were even in the band in Artane and experienced first-hand the exploitation and manipulation of children by the religious.

Q: How can I use map function with random number This code is from http://elm-lang.org/edit/examples/Intermediate/Stamps.elm. I did a minor change, see below.
import Mouse
import Window
import Random

main : Signal Element
main = lift2 scene Window.dimensions clickLocations

-- for a good time, remove "sampleOn Mouse.clicks" ;)
clickLocations : Signal [(Int,Int)]
clickLocations = foldp (::) [] (sampleOn Mouse.clicks Mouse.position)

scene : (Int,Int) -> [(Int,Int)] -> Element
scene (w,h) locs =
  let p = Random.float (fps 25)
      drawPentagon p (x,y) =
          ngon 5 20 |> filled (hsla p 0.9 0.6 0.7)
                    |> move (toFloat x - toFloat w / 2, toFloat h / 2 - toFloat y)
                    |> rotate (toFloat x)
  in  layers [ collage w h (map (drawPentagon <~ p) locs) // I want to change different color each time, error here!
             , plainText "Click to stamp a pentagon." ]

How can I pass a signal when using map function?

A: In your code, you have drawPentagon <~ p which has the type Signal ((Int, Int) -> Form)
The type of map is map : (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b] which is causing the type error. It is basically saying, that map is expecting a function a -> b but you've given it a Signal ((Int, Int) -> From).
One way to try and accomplish what you're doing is to make p a parameter of scene and use lift3 to pass in Random.float (fps 25). So, you would end up with this:
import Mouse
import Window
import Random

main : Signal Element
main = lift3 scene Window.dimensions clickLocations (Random.float (fps 25))

-- for a good time, remove "sampleOn Mouse.clicks" ;)
clickLocations : Signal [(Int,Int)]
clickLocations = foldp (::) [] (sampleOn Mouse.clicks Mouse.position)

scene : (Int,Int) -> [(Int,Int)] -> Float -> Element
scene (w,h) locs p =
  let drawPentagon p (x,y) =
          ngon 5 20 |> filled (hsla p 0.9 0.6 0.7)
                    |> move (toFloat x - toFloat w / 2, toFloat h / 2 - toFloat y)
                    |> rotate (toFloat x)
  in  layers [ collage w h (map (drawPentagon p) locs)
             , plainText "Click to stamp a pentagon." ]

Is this what you were trying to do?

A great amount of data and information are available for the aquifers of Texas, however it can be difficult and time-consuming to access all such data. This webpage provides information about the Edwards (Balcones Fault Zone, or BFZ) aquifer in graphs, maps and charts to address general questions that pertain to the aquifer and uses of groundwater.
The primary groundwater data source is the Texas Water Development Board's well records database, available to download or to access through the Water Information Integration & Dissemination (WIID) System. These data records are public and can be downloaded at any time, however the system is updated on a regular basis and therefore discrepancies between different dates of downloads are possible.
Note: As the data sets were not generated by The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment, the data are not under quality assurance/quality control measures in this website.
Wells in Texas are identified through the TWDB statewide monitoring program. Each well that is logged and recorded is given a specific number, based on the state well grid.
Water Well Grid. Source: TWDB Well Records.
Water levels within the Edwards can vary. A summary table of wells from Edwards and Trinity records highlights the differences in aquifer productivity via number of wells, whereas about one half of the wells have water quality (ion and cation, calcium, bicarbonate, etc.) tests. Water level measurements exist for many of the wells, but depending on well access, are collected through different techniques as noted by the water level code on the right. In searching the TWDB database, one of the factors to note is the number of aquifer codes that are used in the system.
– Of the more than 3,000 wells installed in the Edwards, 210 were installed in 2011 (to date).
– Well depths in the Edwards range from 23 to 3,086 feet below ground level, whereas water levels range from 6 to 463 meters below the measuring point.
– For the years 2010-2011, the average depth to water was 180.53 feet.
– The water quality parameter Total Dissolved Solids ranges from 234 to 8,512 milligrams per liter (mg/L).

But I tried it: I threw the entire cooked chicken breast in the mixer, put on the paddle, and turned it on. A minute later I had shredded chicken! That got me wondering what else my KitchenAid mixer could do….
Shred cooked meat. Use paddle attachment that comes with mixer, place cooked meat in bowl, turn on to Speed 2 for 30 seconds to a minute. It shreds quickly, so watch it! I almost cry when I think of all the time I spent shredding meat with two forks (and my fingers) while my KitchenAid was right next to me.
Dough for anything. Dough for pitas/flatbreads. Pizza crust. Rolls. Calzones. Dumplings. A hand mixer would never be able to do some of the thicker, heavier doughs.
Whipped cream. Use wire whip that comes with mixer, add cold cream. Whip on high speed. Tastes so much better than Cool-Whip.
Frosting, including buttercream. Do not ever buy frosting at the store again. Trust me. Homemade frosting is actually amazingly easy when all you have to do is dump it in the stand mixer and let the mixer do the work.
Mashed potatoes & filling for twice-baked potatoes. Mashed potatoes are SO fluffy, and it is quick. I also whip up the insides of potatoes when I'm making twice-baked potatoes.
Make butter. All you need is cream and the wire whip that comes with the mixer. Yes, seriously. TheKitchn has an entire post dedicated to how to do it. Process: Put whole cream in bowl, whip on high. Whip until cream suddenly breaks into butter and a thin milky liquid. Discard liquid. Scoop out butter. Either squeeze between your hands or use cheesecloth: wash butter under running water until water runs clear. (If you don't get rid of the excess milk, it will go rancid quickly).
Make marshmallows. I haven't this one because we don't use marshmallows very often…but I hear they're great. Link to FoodNetwork's recipe for marshmallows.
Make fondant. I've included two links, because I like the pictures on "A Crafty Cook" better, but the recipe on Duncan Hines is better.
Make homemade pasta (yes, without the special pasta attachment). I normally hate eHow, but this article is good. To make the actual pasta, you just roll it out and cut it. I've never understood all the special pasta attachments. Ravioli is easy too. Cut into squares. Press two together (with a little filling in the middle). Viola!
Make Playdough for the kids. Instructions linked.
Uh, the obvious. Cake. Cookies- try some thicker doughs to get great cookies! Brownies. Muffins. Pancakes.

Die Faustachse ist eine Bauform gelenkter Starrachsen, oder Pendelachsen, und findet sich noch vor allem in hinterachsgetriebenen Lastkraftwagen. Faustachsen sind stets nicht angetriebene Achsen und meist gekröpft. Sie haben auf jeder Seite ein faustartig verdicktes Ende mit senkrechter oder schräg-senkrechter Bohrung, durch die ein Bolzen geschoben wird, auf dem der gegabelte Achsschenkel beweglich gelagert wird. Die Räder können zum Lenken sehr weit eingeschlagen werden, diese Bauart bedingt allerdings, dass durch die Achsenden keine Antriebswelle geführt werden kann – deshalb ist die Faustachse nicht angetrieben. Wegen ihrer einfachen Bauart sind Faustachsen günstiger herzustellen, als Gabelachsen.

Q: pandas DatatFrame.corr returns a one by one DF I can't get what is possibly wrong in the way I use df.corr() function.
For a DF with 2 columns it returns only 1*1 resulting DF.
In:
    merged_df[['Citable per Capita','Citations']].corr()
Out:
one by one resulting DF
What can be the problem here? I expected to see as many rows and columns as many columns were there in the original DF

A: I found the problem - it was the wrong dtype of the first column values.
To change type of all the columns, use:
df=df.apply(lambda x: pd.to_numeric(x, errors='ignore'))
Note that apply creates a copy of df. That is why reassignment is necessary here

Hogtie: A Reference-Free Tool for Identifying Introgression in Plant Genomes.
In the genomics era, likelihood-based models of discrete character evolution are used to compare genomic datasets under different models of evolution. Such models can be used to identify genes that are more similar to divergent lineages than to closely related lineages; for example, genes gained through introgression, horizontal gene transfer, or convergence. These methods tend to rely on a priori homology identification, which requires mapping reads to well-resolved reference genomes. Identifying homology in this way can bias comparisons with regard to the reference genome itself. Reference-based biases are particularly problematic in plants, which are highly variable in genome size and structure. K-mer based methods have become popular for reference-free comparative genomics, but are designed to compare only two genomes at once and do not account for phylogenetic relationships. To address these shortcomings, we introduce the python program hogtie. Hogtie treats k-mer presence/absence as a binary character and models evolution backwards-in-time via a discrete Markov model, flagging k-mers whose presence/absence patterns deviate from expectations. Expectations are set by parameterizing a provided species tree through evolutionary simulations, a flexible approach that can take into account diverse evolutionary scenarios (i.e. high ILS or slow mutation rates). The hogtie methodology is particularly effective because it combines the advantages of traditional models of discrete character evolution and reference-free analyses, providing a tree-based analysis that does not require genome assemblies for all species included in analyses. In addition, the framework of discretizing sequence data can be applied beyond k-mers to SNPs or transcripts, making hogtie's method broadly applicable.

Helen Love: Smash Hits
Joyous DIY punk-pop from the Welsh Ramones.
By Stephen Dalton
Why you can trust Louder Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.
Like their musical heroes, the Ramones, Swansea-based indie veterans Helen Love have proudly stuck to the same breakneck bubblegum punk-pop formula for over 20 years. Their releases have become rare during the past decade, but this eighth album is an effusive return to some favourite motifs and familiar obsessions.
Having played with Joey Ramone in 2001, they're clearly still buzzing on the experience, paying homage in First Welsh Girl In New York City and You Can't Beat A Boy Who Loves The Ramones, which must be the most Helen Love song title ever.
Tributes fall closer to home in the sweetly self-explanatory Thank You Poly Styrene, though even the more serious songs are sprinkled with cheerfully naff pop-culture references, from Ghostbusters to Super Mario Bros, recycled Bonnie Tyler lyrics and Van Halen keyboard riffs.
The signature blend of giddy female vocals, toyshop electro and fizzing C86 guitars becomes a little samey over the long haul, though Spaceboy is an agreeable detour into sci-fi glam rock and We've Got A Formula One Team a Blondie-quoting blast of sugar-rush Nintendo punk.
Even if Love's knowing, faux-naive tone grates at times, behind it lies a heartfelt fantasy of teenage crushes, cool record collections and endless summer.

The Hidden Life of Trees
What They Feel, How They Communicate – Discoveries from a Secret World
Peter Wohlleben
Are trees social beings? In this international bestseller, forester and author Peter Wohlleben convincingly makes the case that, yes, the forest is a social network.
He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. Wohlleben also shares his deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in his woodland.
After you have read The Hidden Life of Trees, a walk in the woods will never be the same again.
'Opening this book, you are about to enter a wonderland.' —Tim Flannery, author of Atmosphere of Hope and The Weather Makers
'Charming, provocative, fascinating.' —David George Haskell, author of The Forest Unseen, Pulitzer finalist
'In this spirited exploration, [Wohlleben] guarantees that readers will never look at these life forms in quite the same way again.' —Library Journal
'The Hidden Life of Trees delivers clear, substantiated examples of ways trees not only adapt but teach, learn and help each other out. Wohlleben takes pains to make clear that the care trees demonstrate toward one another goes beyond a survival mechanism.' —Readings
'Chattily engaging ... its quips and contagious puns invite the reader into the minutiae of trees' lives.' —Felicity Plunkett, Weekend Australia
'Wohlleben might be an incarnation of the Lorax, that mythical Seussian creature who speaks for the trees. But he speaks, too, for a host of researchers worldwide, bringing their findings to a wider audience with passion and generosity.' —Ashley Hay, Sydney Morning Herald
'Scientific research … underpins all his vivid descriptions … in Wohlleben's analysis, it's almost as if trees have feelings and character.' – Tim Lusher, Guardian Australia
'You cannot read this book and walk through the bush the same way again. It changes your thinking forever.' —Kathleen Noonan, Courier Mail
'Peter Wohlleben's new book The Hidden Life of Trees has given me an entirely new perspective. It's a fascinating insight into the language of trees: how they communicate with each other and even "feel"'. —Deborah Bogle, Adelaide Advertiser
'Peter Wohlleben's [book], backed by scientific research, will make you rethink the way you interact with nature and reignite the romantic notion of magical forests we read about as children.' —MiNDFOOD Australia
Peter Wohlleben spent over twenty years working for the forestry commission in before leaving to put his ideas of ecology into practice. He now runs an environmentally friendly woodland in Germany, where he is working for the return of primeval forests. He is the author of numerous books about trees.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 25 JUL 2016
This fascinating book will intrigue readers who love a walk through the woods. Wohlleben, who worked for the German forestry commission for 20 years and now manages a beech forest in Germany, has gathered research from scientists around the world examining how trees communicate and interact with one another. They do so using a variety of methods, including the secretion of scents and sound vibrations to warn neighboring plants of potential attacks by insects and hungry herbivores, drought, and other dangers. The book includes a note from forest scientist Suzanne Simard of the University of British Columbia, whose studies showed that entire forests can be connected by "using chemical signals sent through the fungal networks around their root tips" and led to the term "the wood-wide web." Wohlleben anthropomorphizes his subject, using such terms as friendship and parenting, which serves to make the technical information relatable, and he backs up his ideas with information from scientists. He even tackles the question of whether trees are intelligent. He hopes the day will come "when the language of trees will eventually be deciphered." Until then, Wohllenben's book offers readers a vivid glimpse into their secret world.

How do you lose a hood?
I was driving into Reinland the other day when I spotted a strange sight. Someone lost the hood of their truck. Well I assume it was a truck, looked like a nice dark blue truck. Probably a few years old.
The hood was leaning up against the sign for the village and it looked like it was in good shape too.
At first I thought, "someone was using it as a sled and lost it" but it didn't look scratched up or really even dented. Now it didn't look like it was in that great a shape, after all the car or truck that it was supposed to be attached to seemed to be missing. You would think that someone would notice if their hood was missing and try to duct tape it back on, or maybe some bungee cords to hold it down. Sadly though the hood was left at the side of the road, lonely and missing its home.
I didn't have my camera with me, so I came back later and took a picture. It was getting late, so it's partly lit by the headlights.
turns out someone removed the hood from the sign, so it may have found its way home.

The Great Dissenter, a/k/a The Judge Who Writes like a Human Being, s/a/k/a The Implacable, Incontrovertible, Irrefragable, Indefatigable, Insuperable, Ineffable, Ineluctable, and Illustrious Foe of the Partitive Genitive, and Old China Hand, Judge Mark V. Holmes, cleans up an unresolved oldie that proves an old adage.
If you owe somebody money, stall. They might forget.
Unhappily, Judge Holmes' elephantine memory digs through the soil of days gone by, and comes up with James A. Cavanaugh, Jr., Docket No. 30825-09, filed 11/7/16.*
On a day with no decisions and no designated orders, when I just got back from visiting my nearest and dearest in the Bayou City, I find this hangover from what a certain Nobel laureate called "the foggy ruins of time."
All y'all (remember I'm just back this evening) will remember Big Jim Cavanaugh, Jr., the Clean-up King, his trusty sidekicks Rock Walker and Erica Fortner, and the late Claire ("Colony Anne") Robinson.
What, no?!
Then read my blogpost "Well-Settled – No Deduction – Part Deux," 11/27/12.
I thought Big Jim's attempt to write off his legal fees settling with Mrs. Robinson was long gone, historical.
Wrong! Big Jim moved for reconsideration, and he was timely. Judge Holmes never dealt with the motion.
Well, there isn't much to deal with. "The deductibility of legal expenses is governed by the same 'origin of the claim' test as is the deductibility of the cost of settling the lawsuit in which they arose. Respondent [IRS] had the burden of proof, because he challenged the deductibility of those expenses only in his answer. But he met it by stipulating to the amount of those expenses and that they were incurred because of the lawsuit, and then showing by a preponderance of the evidence that the origin of that lawsuit made the cost of settling it nondeductible." Order, at p. 2.
Big Jim wanted to deduct the legal fees in settling the case, but as the claim originated in a non-business environment, no deduction for settlement or costs of procuring same.
So, guys, do the Rule 155 beancount.
Better late than never.
Edited to add, 9/6/21: 5 Cir affirmed. Note origin-of-claim vs effect-of-litigation analysis.

Technology has made our lives easier for years. Music, navigation, banking, communication—it's all been streamlined. But now more than ever, technology is streamlining health care innovation, leading researchers to findings and treatments that have been kept out of reach—until now.
Improvements in computer programming and analysis are responsible for the biggest advancements in health care research. And many of these advancements are happening locally. Numerous companies in Greater Boston are bringing about a modern renaissance of scientific discovery and health care innovation—and are getting it done right here in New England.
Treatments for these types of disorders have left pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies scratching their heads, leading to the number of companies developing medicines for mental health to drop from 313 in 2010 to 130 in 2016, according to PhRma. But BlackThorn is confident in its ability to pick up where many companies left off, especially now.
Founded in San Francisco, BlackThorn has recently opened a lab in the Cambridge Innovation Center. It was a move that, according to Dr. Martin, made perfect sense.
BlackThorn's research approach is based on identifying specific links between brain physiology and behavior. The team is working to prove that the right treatments can change behaviors associated with certain disorders by tuning the brain.
"Scientific advances have us moving away from common diagnoses, like major depressive disorder or obsessive compulsive disorder, and recognizing that many patients actually present a suite of symptoms that are, at their core, changes in brain physiology," Martin said.
By being able to identify which type of depression or OCD an individual has based on specific brain patterns, BlackThorn aims to one day offer treatments better tailored to a patient's individual symptoms.
The effects of stress present themselves as tense muscles and chronic pain throughout the head, neck, shoulders, and back. Over time, these effects compound, leaving many in distress about chronic pain.
This unending cycle often leads chronic-pain sufferers to visit their doctors for answers, where they're prescribed drugs or scheduled for surgeries that might help relieve the discomfort, but don't always combat the root cause.
BioTrak Health, a Boston-based startup founded in 2014, is working to change this.
The founders of BioTrak—one of whom treated chronic pain sufferers as an ear, nose, and throat doctor at Boulder Medical Center in Colorado—believe that when it comes to chronic pain, it's better to address the stress that causes it, not the pain that follows.
"The key for pain sufferers is learning how to manage stress because most of their symptoms are caused by excess muscle tension," said Adam Kirell, co-founder of BioTrak Health.
According to the CDC, over 50 million people in the U.S. suffer from chronic pain. Oftentimes, this painful tension can be managed and treated with the right stress-management and relaxation techniques. To help better detect when these techniques are necessary, BioTrak is developing a product that alerts pain sufferers to changes in their muscle tension: the Halo.
Worn around the head, Halo is a digital therapeutic device that alerts wearers to any subtle changes in their muscle tension so they can practice relaxation training and better manage stress-induced pain.
"Our goal is to help people learn how to control their body, and then correct its course naturally," said Kirell.
The Halo will come with an app that provides real-time relaxation training exercises developed by clinical specialists. Additionally, users can track their data over time to see for themselves how effective the training is in relieving chronic muscle tension.
"Similar to weight loss, if you see the scale going down, you're going to be motivated by it," said Kirell.
For Kirell and his team, having the opportunity to work, plan, and develop their product and stress management system in Boston has been invaluable.
An estimated 50 million people in the U.S. are affected by some type of hearing impairment. Decibel, a startup based in Cambridge, is taking the recent discoveries made in hearing science and applying them to the creation of new treatments that will target the causes of multiple hearing disorders.
With a passion for using groundbreaking science, Voyager is working in Cambridge to develop gene therapies that treat severe diseases of the central nervous system.
Changing the way we receive medications, PillPack is a pharmaceutical delivery service that brings the pharmacy to you by delivering pre-sorted, clearly labeled medications right to your door. PillPack has offices in Boston, New Hampshire, and Utah.
Researchers at this biopharmaceutical company are working to find treatments for rare, genetic metabolic diseases, specifically inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's and colitis. By looking into the microbiology of the body, Synlogic is engineering synthetic probiotics that work to correct metabolic activities — all on their own.
By making communication between doctor and patient easier, Zillion hopes to revolutionize the modern health care experience. Live video meetings, document sharing, progress trackers, and calendars are a few of the services offered to help better manage the healthcare experience.

Introduction Isolation 1929 Discontent Dominion League Federal League Secession
Campaign-Federal League Campaign-Secession London Failure Forgetting A Federated State ?
In October 1929 more than a quarter of the population of Perth crammed the city's streets to watch the centenary parade. It was the biggest community event in the history of the State and the biggest display of local patriotism since the victory parade celebrating the end of the First World War some ten years before.
While the twenty-fifth anniversary of Federation in 1926 had passed almost unnoticed in Western Australia, the centenary of the founding of the Swan River Colony was celebrated with energy and enthusiasm. Huge crowds cheered the passing cavalcade of military bands, vehicles, sporting bodies, social clubs, community groups and some 48 floats representing a range of historical scenes, displays of wildflowers, primary produce and the State's mining industry. The parade was nearly two and a half kilometres in length, and took an hour to pass any given spot. It was a reflection of local pride in the achievements of the pioneers who established the colony on the Swan River and in the State's role in feeding and clothing the British Empire.
Few among the crowds along St George's Terrace could have imagined that within five years they would vote in overwhelming numbers to secede from the Commonwealth of Australia. The federal government was a remote institution about which local politicians and public figures like the editor of the Sunday Times regularly complained, but there was little to suggest that secession could become a popular issue for ordinary people. How did it happen?

zioxi worked with Dell Farm Education Centre in Dunstable to create an Activity Classroom for projects and activities.
Dell Farm Education Centre is an inspirational centre for learning outside of the classroom, situated opposite Whipsnade Animal Park. They wanted to provide a stimulating area where children can focus on their adventures and activities to reinforce what they have learnt outside. Set in 23 acres of land, including 2 acres of farm land with child friendly animals, Dell Farm offers both residential and day programmes as well as holiday activities.
The brief was to create an activity classroom with project tables for activities that can also be rearranged for staff meetings. Instead of conventional project tables, zioxi recommended their popular VerTables – multi-functional, height-adjustable project tables that work horizontally for group discussion or practical work, and vertically as a dry-wipeable whiteboard. t41 tables with t41 Roundels were also installed, to create an adaptable room. t41 tables can be laid out in waves, rows, collaborative groups and more. They can be easily stacked away to one side and moved around on the fly for different classroom layouts. T chairs and additional seating in the form of Postura stools added a burst of colour to the room.
For resource storage, zioxi provided three Resource Trolleys with lockable doors. With 12 spacious storage boxes and wheels on the bottom of the trolley, they are fully mobile, secure and provide ample storage.
