Coach Joe Heighway expects things to open up offensively in his second season leading the Westerville North High School girls lacrosse program.
The Warriors return eight starters in seniors Kait Boso (midfielder/attack-er), Gracie Heighway (midfielder), Jenna Morgan (defender) and Kate Smith (defender) and juniors Courtney Hornyak (defender), Paige Miller (attacker), Noel Orioli (midfielder) and Gianna Ricci (attacker).
North is 1-1 as it looks to improve on last season's 8-11 overall record and fifth-place finish (3-4) in the OCC-Buckeye Division behind champion New Albany (7-0).
"This year we have experience coming back with eight starters," coach Heighway said. "They are playing much better as a team. Last year, there was much more individual play and now they are willing to be team players.
"We have more scorers this year with seven girls scoring against Gahanna (in a 12-11 win March 19), and we had five score against Watterson (in a 17-13 loss March 21). Last year, we basically had three scorers in Gracie, Paige and (2018 graduate) Emily (Garee)."
Gracie Heighway, who has committed to Walsh, had four goals against Watterson. Last season, she was honorable mention all-league after scoring 48 goals with 18 assists and 90 ground balls.
"We have a lot more people who are a threat scoring-wise and that allows us to do more with our plays," she said.
Miller, who had four goals against Gahanna, finished with 44 goals and 26 assists last spring. Boso had 16 goals and two assists, and Orioli scored 17 goals.
"We have learned that you have to keep your head in the game no matter what's going on around you," Boso said. "You can't let people get in your head because it can break you down both individually and as a team."
Junior Madi Martin is the goalkeeper after playing j.v. last season.
Coach Heighway said this season has been going smoother than last year because the players understand his expectations and more competed on club teams in the offseason. Those participating in club were Gracie Heighway, Miller, Orioli, junior midfielders Lauren Harris and Ariana Sanabria, sophomore attacker/midfielder Aubrey McMahon and freshman attacker/midfielder Allison Gruber.
"Things have gone smoother because the girls put time in the fall and winter conditioning and we had several girls play club lacrosse," he said. "In the past, only Gracie had played club lacrosse, but that experience helps a lot. You can see the difference."
The Warriors open OCC-Buckeye play April 4 at Big Walnut.
Coach Austin Ford has returned for a second time in an effort to build the boys lacrosse program.
The 2004 North graduate was an assistant from 2011-14 before leaving to work with the Thomas Worthington feeder program. Now that lacrosse is an OHSAA- and school-sanctioned sport, he's back to help build the team he loves.
"I grew up in Westerville and I live here now," said Ford, who replaced Nate Nelson after three seasons. "We're a real (OHSAA) sport and the school is providing some equipment so that helps us out."
The Warriors finished 8-11 overall and 2-5 in the OCC-Buckeye last season. They return five starters in senior midfielders Trent Bobo, Will Olson and Austin Yanichko, sophomore attacker Ian Evans and senior Caden Christ, who has moved from midfielder to attacker.
Christ and Evans are joined up front by junior Brandon Phipps and sophomore Andrew Hunter.
Senior Andrew Crawford is expected to be a key performer in the midfield, with Bobo and Crawford handling face-offs.
The defense features senior Grant Eastwood, junior Aaron Woods and sophomores Ben Mantenieks and Sean Mitchell.
Sophomores Xavier Dockery and Louis Saggio and freshman Colin Hickey will rotate in goal.
"All three (of the goalies) are new to lacrosse and we looked and recruited more athletic guys," Ford said. "We're trying to figure out who has the hot hand and go with him as long as we can."
The Warriors are 1-3, opening with a 9-2 loss to Gahanna on March 15 before falling to Kettering Fairmont 10-6 a day later. They defeated Marys-ville 10-9 on March 21 and lost to Bexley 9-8 in overtime March 23.
"We have shown our inexperience early, and we're also trying to install new offenses and defenses," said Ford, who teaches U.S. history and personal law at Whetstone. "We have had a bumpy start, but I think we're on the right path."
North opens league play April 4 against Big Walnut.
March 28 -- Eastlake North at Ripken Experience in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
March 28 -- Granville and Claysville (Pa.) McGuffey at Ripken Experience in Pigeon Forge, Tenn.

First Impressions: Dr. Stone
Dr. Stone is available in streaming form via Crunchyroll
A new season of anime shows is upon us once more, and many are touting this to be one of the strongest summer lineups in some time. Among the most talked about shows premiering in the next few weeks is Dr. Stone, the latest in a long line of Shonen Jump manga adaptations. Animated by TMS Entertainment, this post-apocalyptic adventure series written by Riichiro Inagaki pits science against nature and even comes complete with its own scientific consultant to ensure its science wizardry has an element of realism to it.
Just as high school student Taiju Ōki is about to confess his feelings to his crush Yuzuriha Ogawa, a blinding light in the distance. In a flash the humanity is suddenly turned to stone all across the world. While many lose consciousness in this petrified state, Taiju is determined to one day revive and tell Yuzuriha just how he feels.
Thousands of years later, Taiju awakens to a world where civilisation has all but decayed. As he wanders the thick forests that have grown in the place of cities, he discovers his best friend Senku Ishigami managed to revive six months prior. A scientific genius, Senku retained consciousness throughout his stone imprisonment - deducing that the current date is October 5th, 5738. With his brains and Taiju's muscle, the pair set about recreating science's greatest achievements with limited resources in the hope of one day restoring humanity.
"Stone World" is a particularly interesting premiere for Dr. Stone because arguably it places setting before characters. Though it adequately introduces the three main characters that will take the story through its introductory phase, the important thing here is establishing its seemingly hopeless post-apocalyptic setting. Humanity seems all but gone, and with it the sum of all its knowledge. The visuals of the event that triggers this great petrification are effectively harrowing, not only showing how powerless humanity were to avoid it but also how easily they can then break. When Taiju awakens in the future the landscape is awash with "statues", many of whom are of course beyond repair. It's easy to lose that in the luscious green forestry of this future world, but Dr. Stone does a good job of balancing this sense of destruction with impressive visuals.
When it comes to characters the only real focus is on Taiju and Senku, with Yurizuha mainly being framed as motivation for Taiju at the time being. What little we do get to see of her is fun, but its really not enough to get a gauge on her character just yet. However this doesn't matter because Taiju and Senku work brilliantly as a pair, and between them you almost believe that they could be the "Adam and Eve of this Stone World". Senku is brilliant almost to the point of arrogance but the story keeps him down to Earth through trial and error, and even with his immense brain power he's still limited by his physical prowess. Taiju on the other hand is thick-headed and a bit dim, but possesses all of the physical traits Senku lacks. Not only was he strong enough to keep some control following his petrification, but also proves himself a valuable hunter-gatherer and someone who can match Senku's brain power with man power.
With so much set up required this episode makes limited use of the primitive science the Dr. Stone manga becomes popular for, but still enough to show just the kind of thing this series is going to be all about. The pair's current aim is to find out just what helped free them from their stone prisons, and through a series of experiments on stone birds they eventually one step closer to finding a solution. There's plenty of science talk as elements and compounds are name dropped in Senku's ramblings, but the dialogue makes a good job of keeping it all understandable.
When it comes to anime adaptations of long-running manga series usually I'm in the dark with the source material, but Dr. Stone is a rare occasion where I know what's coming in future episodes - and I can't wait. This first episode may have mostly been set up that barely gives away the story to come, but it does such a fantastic job of setting up this whole new world that you can't help but keep watching. That's exactly how the manga grabbed me, and with the hype surrounding this series its how I fully expect the anime to grab newcomers too.

The United States and Germany are meeting today to discuss a bilateral approach to cyber issues facing both nations.
Officials from relevant ministries and agencies of the two governments will discuss topics including international security in cyberspace, cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection, cyber defense, combating cyber crime, Internet freedom, and Internet governance.
The meetings began on Tuesday and build off of June 2014 discussions held in Berlin, which focused on collaboration in key cyber issues over the course of the last decade.
U.S. Department of State Coordinator for Cyber Issues Christopher Painter leads the U.S. delegation, and Ambassador Thomas Fitschen, the Federal Foreign Office's Director for International Cyber Policy, leads the German delegation.
The meetings will also address the details of the U.S.-Germany Cyber Dialogue event, which is set to take place in the near future.

Q: Use of `onPrepareOptionsMenu()` on Android 3.0+ I'm curious as to how (if at all) onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu) (and by extension, onPreparePanel(int, View, Menu)) is used on Android 3.0+ when targeting API 11 or greater.
My thinking is as follows:
An Activity's ActionBar receives its content from onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu) where you can either inflate an XML menu resource, add items directly, or some combination of both. Any fragments of the activity will also receive this call and have the option of doing the same.
To update the items on the ActionBar you can either hold on to the Menu instance or call invalidateOptionsMenu() which will then wind up calling onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu) again.
Thus, is onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu) then only still around to support legacy applications which do not target API 11 or newer?
Does calling getActionBar().hide() and getActionBar().show() trigger a call to onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu) perhaps?
Does adding or removing a fragment somehow trigger this?

A: Sice I recently had similar questions and stumpled upon this one, I'd like to add for later readers:
Yes, onPrepareOptionsMenu still does work.
However, you should just invoke the standard implementation for Honeycomb devices (i.e. if ( android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11 ) return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);) and use invalidateOptionsMenu() (via reflection, if necessary) and onCreateOptionsMenu() instead, esp. when using showAsAction. Otherwise, the menu won't be updated until it's opened. For example, if you add some entries when an item is selected, the items will magically appear in the action bar when the menu's opened, not when the item's becoming selected. Same goes for deselection and hiding the menu items.

A: From my extensive testing, it strangely appears to work exactly like on pre-3.0 versions of the platform, only being invoked when the overflow menu is opened. The callback did not fire on either of the events listed in the original question.
A perhaps obvious but noteworthy fact: The entire menu is accessible on this callback so manipulation of items which are visible on the action bar, in the overflow menu, and/or hidden is possible.

If you've ever taken a look at medieval art, or wandered around a cathedral with visible tombs and monuments, you've most likely noticed that there are a whole lot of spooky images appearing from about the fourteenth century on. Not surprisingly, in the years following The Black Death (c. 1346-1353 CE), which killed approximately one third of Europe's population, there was a trend in medieval art that highlighted looking death in the face, rather than shying away from it. Many artists created images and sculptures that ask the living to "remember death" (memento mori): that it is always waiting, and that it spares no one. In honour of All Hallows' Eve, let's take five minutes to look at how death was expressed in art in the late Middle Ages.
This is a fairly obvious one, but it's amazing how creative people got on the corpse theme. Rather than just skeletons, you can find images of corpses in various states of decay, and some of these are very prominent, like those you find on cadaver (or transi) tombs. Cadaver tombs feature, instead of (or along with) a flattering effigy of the deceased, a decomposing corpse. Here's a good image of a cadaver tomb, this one of John FitzAlan, Earl of Arundel, at the Arundel Castle chapel.
As if it weren't enough to create an image of a corpse to make people consider their own mortality, medieval people also added the creatures that feast on corpses – or so they thought. If an artist wanted to be particularly gruesome, he would add toads, frogs, worms or snakes. Although these creatures (with the exception of worms) aren't usually found feeding on corpses in nature, they were associated with evil (think: Garden of Eden) and death at the time. You can find images of feasting creatures on the effigy of Francois I de la Serra, and in this image from the British Library.
Naturally, even though medieval people were encouraged to contemplate death, that didn't mean they actually welcomed it. Memento mori images frequently feature death or his minions coming for an unwilling victim. Often, the mortal is showing his or her reluctance through body language, as in this picture, but sometimes, there are words, too.
In this British Library image, death is actually impaling an understandably distressed person.
Since memento mori and related images were created to encourage people to think about death in terms of Christian salvation, there are plenty of demons to be found in medieval images of death, particularly in deathbed scenes. For example, here are demons tempting the sinner in his last moments, and distracting the ill man from the counsel of the angels. Demons were thought to be always at the ready to drag sinners down to hell.
A popular and lasting image of death and dying that you can find in the late Middle Ages is the Danse Macabre or "Dance of Death". In these images, death is merry, ever eager to pull people into the dance. The Danse Macabre often features many dancing skeletons, such as in this wall decoration.
Sometimes, the skeletons are even making their own music.
Although we mortals aren't looking forward to it, the skeletons in late medieval art have a great time dancing the Dance of Death.
While death imagery was ultimately meant to urge a sinful public to contemplate eternity and repent, medieval artists took a certain glee in reminding viewers that death comes for kings, clergy, and commoners alike, something that The Black Death taught them all too well. This week, memento mori and All Hallows' Eve both give us opportunities to contemplate the relationship between life and death for commoner and kings, but only one of these, sadly, is accompanied by tasty treats.

Currently on 205 Live, he is involved in a rivalry with Japanese star Hideo Itami over the latter demanding respect from his peers. Ali says he sees the source of Itami's anger as the former NXT star came into WWE with a lot of hype but due to circumstances outside of his control (mainly untimely injuries), it faded. Ali now finds himself the target of Itami's changed attitude. "He certainly deserves respect but not this way. Not beating up opponents while they're defenseless. I'll do battle with Hideo sooner than later, and when I do, I'll take his best shot and still rise to my feet. That visual itself will be enough to break him," said the 32-year-old star.


Got a handle on your bills?
SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. -- Maintaining personal finances is your responsibility, regardless of whether you are military or civilian.
However, as a military member, it becomes even more important because you are more likely to deploy. Financial problems incurred prior to or during a deployment become much harder to resolve while deployed.
Personal finances can become a problem for two different reasons. First, you may have the money, but may not have taken the time to write a check or submit payment. The other reason is that you are just flat out spending more money than you earn.
Regarding the first reason, every military member has direct deposit. While this may be something we now all take for granted, this was not always the case.
The military implemented direct deposit to save money as well as to streamline our finances. No longer does anyone have to wait for a check, then take it to the bank so he or she can get some cash for the weekend or pay some bills.
Instead, in the case of getting some cash, all we need to do is go to the automated teller machine to make a reasonable withdrawal. Likewise, the money is in our account much sooner, making it more convenient to pay our bills.
Most, if not all bills these days can be paid electronically. Generally, there are three types of automatic debits that can be employed.
The first, and most common, is that the company who you are receiving the bill from (like your cellular phone) can, with your permission, initiate an automatic debit. This can be set up so that it automatically debits from your account on a specific day each month.
The second method is through a bill pay service offered by your bank. Essentially, you log onto your account through the Internet. The most work occurs when you initially set up a payee, but with repetitive payees it literally takes seconds to make the payment. The bill pay service may process the transaction electronically, or it may mail the check on your behalf.
The third and final method is that your bank, with your approval, can set up a transfer to go from your account to someone else's account. This is particularly helpful for a situation such as re-paying a loan you may have gotten from your parents, or paying rent to an apartment complex that does not have automatic debit capabilities.
Some banks may charge for these types of services. Others don't charge anything. You will need to shop around to find the best deal. A few financial institutions even refund the charges you may incur while using other banks' ATMs.
Now, let's address the issue of spending more money than you make. Unfortunately in today's society it can be very easy to spend more money than you make.
Often, banks will send out "pre-approved" offers. Doesn't it feel great to be "pre-approved?" However, you must be very careful of these offers. Credit is a great thing, if used wisely.
Establish a budget and stick to it. If you find that every month you are paying interest on your credit card, or worse yet, you find yourself having to skip a payment, then you probably need some help in correcting your situation.
There are a few resources you may wish to contact, and you do not even need to wait until you find yourself in trouble. Don't hesitate to be pro-active!
Our Airman and Family Readiness Center is an excellent resource for giving guidance on helping you establish a budget, or modify your current budget.
In addition, some financial institutions provide advice on anything from budgeting, debt management, credit counseling and even retirement planning and investments.
As a final note: Don't forget! Your first shirt is someone you can turn to for advice on any number of matters that may affect your career. Contact your shirt, before your shirt has to contact you.

Badminton smashes to start
By Melody Li
The Piedmont Hills Badminton team started the new season strong, with a 9-6 win at their first game against Andrew Hill on Fri., Mar. 3 at the Piedmont Hills Gym. The team currently has a record of 3 wins and 0 losses, with a game today at Leigh High School.
Although each individual team player displays strong talent, much of the team's success is thanks to the team cooperation and spirit.
"We won easier than expected against Andrew Hill because [everyone was] so cheerful and spirited," comments senior Captain Nicky Nguyen. "It was relaxing and fun."
As the first game of the season, captains encouraged team spirit and cheering among all the players.
"The game [against Andrew Hill] went pretty well. Overall, everyone was cheering and there was good energy amongst the team," seconds junior Captain Jody Wong.
To prepare for this season, the badminton team started to scout new players in the beginning of fall. Students had to attend at least two conditioning days between January and February to even qualify to try out for the team.
"Conditioning showed us who was most dedicated," explains sophomore Christine Pham. "The kids who consistently showed up are the ones who ended up making the team."
While training and conditioning officially started in January, the team has been training hard on their own as well.
"Personally, I've been practicing and training since the summer on my own at Bay Badminton Center. The upperclassmen also helped the freshman prep for tryouts," explains Nguyen.
Some members train at clubs outside of school to further advance their playing skills.
"I've been training at Bintang since I was in middle school," admits freshman Varsity Singles player Brandon Lin. "That really helped me prepare for the season and all my future games."
Currently, the team has practice days on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and games on Wednesdays and Fridays.
This year, the team hopes to not only improve in skills and to win in league finals, but also become a closer family.
"I think our team is pretty sold this year, and I hope we can win league finals. The captains hope to help our team bond and be a closer knit group," reveals Wong.
Many of the freshman have similar goals and expectations for their first year on the team.
"As a freshman, I feel a lot of pressure being on the team as everyone is super competitive [but] my goals for this season is to make league finals and possibly CCS," says freshman Varsity Singles player Tony Hong.
The players ultimately hope to win League Finals and make it to CCS in their respective individual events.

MA Environmental Education and Communication student Meghan McCann knows first-hand how wilderness experiences can transform education for youth. McCann and her work with the Vancouver School Board's Take a Hike Program are featured in the Feb. 4 edition of the Georgia Straight online.
"Meghan McCann, the adventure-based-learning specialist, told the Straight there are many reasons why students are "falling through the cracks and getting left behind" at mainstream schools. The program accepts students—mostly from East Vancouver but also from as far away as Delta and North Vancouver—with academic, behavioural, legal, psychological, and social challenges and offers them a second chance, she noted.

Texas Theme Parks Change Schedules as Hurricane Harvey Barrels Down on Texas
By ErikAug 25, 2017, 17:28 pm
Texas, stay safe. Hurricane Harvey is getting ready to spend the weekend in Texas, which will bring heavy rains, lots of flooding, and powerful winds. To get ready for the approaching storm, several of the Texas theme and waterparks are changing their operation schedules, as they approach for Harvey.
All of Schlitterbahns Texas water parks will be closed this weekend. The parks in New Braunfels, Corpus Christi, Galveston, and South Padre will all be closed all weekend, Saturday August 26th and Sunday August 27th. The resorts will remain open, but with limited operations only.
Schlitterbahn parks across Texas will remain closed for the remainder of this week, but they do plan on being open for the Labor Day weekend, weather and flooding permitting.
SeaWorld San Antonio/Aquatica
SeaWorld San Antonio announced via Twitter that SeaWorld and Aquatica would close early on Friday August 25th, and Saturday August 26th. The park will make an announcement about Sunday the 27th sometime Saturday afternoon.
The park also released a statement regarding the closure and animals:
To ensure the safety of our guests, ambassadors and animals during the impact from Tropical Storm Harvey, SeaWorld and Aquatica San Antonio closed at 3:00 p.m. CT on Friday, Aug. 25, and will remain closed all day Saturday, Aug. 26. We will make a decision on Saturday about opening Sunday and keep guests and employees informed. Precautions are in place in accordance with the parks' extensive Severe Weather Plan to ensure the safety of our employees and animals during this time, including the movement of animals to their secure night quarters. Zoological staff will remain on property through the night to monitor the situation. Details regarding the parks' reopening will be announced when that decision is made.
SeaWorld San Antonio and Aquatica has announced that they will remain closed on Sunday due to Hurricane Harvey. An announcement regarding further opening will be made Sunday afternoon.
While we have reached out to both Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Six Flags Over Texas, they have not responded. The parks have also not made any official announcements (that we could find) about weekend operations, but with Harvey being upgraded to a Category 4, it stands to reason that they will not be open this weekend. We will keep you updated on any official statements, if they make one.
There are quite a few zoos and aquariums in the areas that were directly hit by Hurricane Harvey. There is no word from the aquariums or zoos, but judging by the pictures coming out of Rockport and Houston we can only pray for the best, but prepare for the worst.
Meanwhile, the San Antonio Zoo will remain closed today due to tons of rain, but they did release a rather heroic statement on Facebook.
We personally know many of the people at the San Antonio Zoo, and we are pretty sure they are doing more than just standing ready. There are hundreds of animals at risk at all the Texas zoos that were in the path of Hurricane Harvey, and the San Antonio Zoo will do all it's physically able to do to help. That's what the true nature of these zoos are, they truly care for the animals.
Again, our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Texas. Stay safe.
Stay tuned for more, and be sure to get social with us on Facebook and follow along with us on Twitter @BehindThrills for the latest updates!

Buxton, associate professor of biobehavioral health, Penn State University, said that in the absence of sufficient sleep, they are not as attentive or alert, they process information more slowly, possibilities of misinterpreting social and emotional cues will be high and decision making is impaired.
The researchers observed 474 employees as part of a Work, Family and Health Network study conducted at an IT company, with about half of the employees serving as the control while the other half experienced the study intervention. Both employees and their supervisors participated during the study.
The intervention actually designed to manage conflicts and problems of work and personal life, and focused on two main cultural shifts: allowing employees to decide on when and where they worked and training supervisors to support their employees' personal lives. Those who were assigned to the intervention were encouraged to be completely flexible about when and where they would work at the office, from home or elsewhere while still working the same number of hours as the control group. All of the participants wore a sleep-monitoring watch, a device that tracks movement to monitor periods of sleep.
During 12 month period study the researchers found that the employees were able to get sleep for eight minutes more, which means around half an hour more. And the research revealed that positive support for employees from management can certainly help them to increase productivity and revenue of the organization.

Q: Why is there no 'aligned_realloc' on most platforms? MSVC has its own non-standard functions _aligned_malloc, _aligned_realloc and _aligned_free.
C++17 and C11 have introduced (std::)aligned_alloc, results of which can be deallocated with free or realloc. But realloc cannot be used to actually reallocate memory returned by aligned_alloc, since it does not take an alignment parameter and thus cannot guarantee that the returned pointer will be properly aligned.
I can't even find any non-standard extensions that could reallocate aligned memory (preserving its alignment) on platforms other than Microsoft Windows / Visual C++.
Am I searching for it wrong, or is there indeed no _aligned_realloc alternative on POSIX and other platforms?
If so,

*

*Why?

*What can be used instead on those platforms? Is there nothing better than calling aligned_alloc with the new alignment, and then doing memcpy and freeing the old pointer on success?

A: While POSIX (which tends to act as a lowest common denominator on most platforms) does not have an aligned_realloc, it does have aligned_alloc and memcpy. Therefore you can very easily implement your own aligned_realloc which is guaranteed to work on any reasonably posix compliant platform using these. However, note that there is not a posix standard method to get the size of a malloc'd region of memory. You'll have to track that yourself.
EDIT: have a bit of free time so I'm extending this to answer the most common criticism
What I've proposed is, as the astute commenter will note, not how realloc works internally.
Under the hood, your standard realloc implementation will do its damnedest to avoid preforming the above behavior of mallocing and memcpying with a free afterwards. It will try to use one of two behaviors before resorting to the fallback.
1) If the new size is smaller than the old size, it will resize the memory in place, avoiding having to allocate, copy, or free.
2) if the new size is greater than the old size, it will (in simplified terms) see if there is free memory of sufficient size adjacent, and if so it will gobble up that memory and resize in place. If not, it resorts to the fallback.
I proposed a naive approach, because I figured most people asking this question wouldn't want to have to implement their own malloc implementation. (Though I highly suggest doing such for educational purposes)
Hope this satisfies any complaints!

A: Intel Math Kernel Library (free; available for Windows, Linux and macOS) ver. >= 11.3.1 has mkl_realloc that preserves alignment:
Simple example:
auto p1 = std::aligned_alloc(1024, 1000);
std::cout << reinterpret_cast<std::uintptr_t>(p1) % 1024 << std::endl;
auto p2 = std::realloc(p1, 2000);
std::cout << reinterpret_cast<std::uintptr_t>(p2) % 1024 << std::endl;
auto p3 = std::realloc(p2, 3000);
std::cout << reinterpret_cast<std::uintptr_t>(p3) % 1024 << std::endl;

auto q1 = mkl_malloc(1000, 1024);
std::cout << reinterpret_cast<std::uintptr_t>(q1) % 1024 << std::endl;
auto q2 = mkl_realloc(q1, 2000);
std::cout << reinterpret_cast<std::uintptr_t>(q2) % 1024 << std::endl;
auto q3 = mkl_realloc(q2, 3000);
std::cout << reinterpret_cast<std::uintptr_t>(q3) % 1024 << std::endl;

The output on my machine is:
0
784
784
0
0
0

A: Just a simple cross-post, from the following two, it should not be too hard to create an aligned_realloc function:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <assert.h>

void* seriously_aligned_malloc(size_t alignment, size_t size) {
    assert(alignment<=255);
    char* allocated = (char*)malloc(size + alignment);
    unsigned char extraspace = (unsigned char)(alignment - (size_t)(allocated+alignment) % alignment);
    char* ptr = allocated + extraspace;
    unsigned char* extraspaceptr = (unsigned char*)(ptr - 1);
    *extraspaceptr = extraspace;
    return ptr;
}
void seriously_aligned_free(void* p) {
    char* ptr = (char*)p;
    unsigned char* extraspaceptr = (unsigned char*)(ptr - 1);
    unsigned char extraspace = *extraspaceptr;
    char* allocated = ptr - extraspace;
    free(allocated);
}

I believe there is also information at:

*

*Is there a linux equivalent of _aligned_realloc


SQL Server gives you Fuzzy Lookups and Fuzzy Grouping, but only in SQL Server Integration Services. It's not even on the list of SSIS enhancements for SQL Server 2008.
Please check it out and provide comments, votes, validations. All this will help persuade Microsoft to implement this useful feature. And tell your friends too! The more it receives, the more likely it will be implemented.
I'm at the MVP Summit this week – an event at which Microsoft communicates (talking and listening) with MVPs. I'm having a great time. I'm seeing people I haven't seen in ages – Aussies I rarely see (like Nick Randolph), former Aussies (like Chuck Sterling), people I talk to regularly on IM (like Simon Sabin), and people I see almost never (like Dejan Sarka). I'm also meeting a lot of people I've never met before, like Allen White, Tony Rogerson and Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama.
Oh, alright, I didn't really meet the Dalai Lama (he walked past, but we didn't talk), but I did meet Archbishop Desmond Tutu. He was in the hotel lift this morning as I was on my way down to breakfast. He said he's an Arsenal fan and was very sad that we lost to Liverpool recently. I got a photo on my phone, and the quality isn't great – but I guess it's a nice memento.
From a technology perspective, the excitement is building around various new products. Summit is always good that way, but I can't write more for NDA reasons.

Stars Over Washington: July 28, 2016: "A Woman Rises from the Ocean, a Seal Embraces Her"
July 28, 2016: "A Woman Rises from the Ocean, a Seal Embraces Her"
As former senator Hillary Clinton delivers her history-making presidential nomination acceptance speech tonight at the DNC, yours truly will be wondering about many historical things such as the obverse (unconscious; feminine) side of America's Great Seal with its Eye of Horus (son of Isis!) and the 13-step pyramid of power. Another wonderment is the hidden meaning of our nation's long list of male presidents (covert side) which, unless there's a Republican coup of the Venusian Oval Office or a landslide for Trump (and there could be either or both), will soon flip over to a female Commander-in-Chief.
Political Pundits: Why Has It Taken the US So Long to Elect a Woman President?
The political class ask this with eyes wide as if they weren't in on the game! For it seems to me that this change was meant to be and its timing no accident. My assertion is that the 'breaking of the glass ceiling' imagery used in the DNC video to signify a woman breaking through to the top tier of power brings to fruition more symbolism than the American people are allowed to glimpse or understand--it's the nature of mysticism with secret motives to hide information in plain sight.
Actually, such esoteric topics as the Mystery of the Great Seal's Eye of Horus have turned up previously on Stars Over Washington.
"A Woman Rises from the Ocean, a Seal Embraces Her" is the Sabian Symbol for 1 Aries with 'the ocean' a well known symbol of the unconscious in dreams, and more universally of the Collective Unconscious in the Mundane Astrology lens through which I tend to view Politics here on SO'W. Obviously the symbol's 'seal' represents America's Great Seal, and the 'woman' is, as it turns out, Hillary Clinton who seeded the New Millennium at midnight on New Year's Eve with husband and President Bill Clinton as the calendar of a new century turned over and our national phallic symbol and Egyptian obelisk, the Washington Monument, was decked out in celebratory lights. Our then-First-Lady has waited through 8 years of the Obama presidency to reach this point in 2016--the year which was always part of the game plan, imho.


The Job Fair is a platform that showcases promising job opportunities to Indian students and professionals who have pursued a part of their education, internship or training in France. It facilitates the meeting of potential recruiters with a diverse pool of talented young professionals who are from top-notch institutes of learning in both countries with multilingual and multicultural experience, technical and managerial skills, and a solid understanding of corporate environments.
Over 1,000 French companies are present in India, which employ over 300,000 skilled workers. Today, France is one of the top investors in India with an investment stock of more than 20 billion dollars – a figure that is growing rapidly. This provides a wealth of opportunities to Indian alumni who have trained in France, who are an asset not only to French but also to other multinational companies.
France is among the top three destinations for foreign students. Over 4,200 Indian students choose to study in France every year; a majority of them enroll for STEM courses at reputed institutes. Increasingly French universities and grandes écoles offer courses taught in English. Campus France, a French government agency promoting higher education in France, and with 14 offices across India, guides students in their choice of courses and the procedures involved in obtaining admissions and the requisite visa.
The French government aims to welcome 10,000 Indian students by 2020. Since 2013, Indian citizens who have graduated from a French institution at the Master's or higher level applying for a tourist or business visa for France, are eligible for visas with a long period of validity. Also, Indian students enrolled in French institutions can stay back for up to two years after the completion of their programme to seek employment in line with their area of studies.
France Alumni is an initiative of Campus France, which functions under the umbrella of Institut français India, the cultural service of the Embassy of France in India. France Alumni - India Chapter helps former students from India acquire key industry knowledge, discover exciting career opportunities, and gain valuable insights on the economic and professional world.

Seven-year-old Erica sits with her mother behind their house in Ghana, under the shade of the cocoa trees. Erica's mother works in a cocoa plantation. Her father is a taxi driver and travels long distances.
Erica and her mother sit under the shade of cocoa trees, grateful for your help.
About two years ago, a boil appeared on Erica's shoulder. Her mother used some traditional remedies on it, but it didn't help. The boil became bigger, and others started appearing. So her mother took her to a local hospital. But they couldn't help either.
By this time Erica had boils on her back, chest and arms. A neighbor suggested they go to our partner hospital three hours away. Desperate, Erica and her mother made the long journey.
At the hospital, Erica was diagnosed with the flesh-eating disease Buruli ulcer and received two months of antibiotic injections. The wound on her shoulder started to heal and the other boils went away. As the wounds started to heal, Erica returned home, making regular trips to a local clinic for wound dressings.
But the local clinic was still an hour's motorcycle ride away. So your generosity provided Erica and her mother with money to make these important trips.
Erica was healing physically, but there were other traumas. When the villagers realized that Erica had Buruli ulcer, they shunned her and her family. The villagers wouldn't allow Erica to use the community water tap, and told the landlord to evict her family. People wouldn't come around to visit like they did before.
Thanks to your compassionate support, Erica's shoulder has healed.
And the wound on Erica's shoulder still hadn't fully healed. Erica couldn't lift her arm. But thanks to your compassionate support, Erica was able to have a skin graft on her shoulder.
Now Erica can lift her arm. She can help her mother and fetch water. Even better, now that the wound is gone, the villagers are no longer afraid. Erica has returned to school and doesn't get teased anymore.

"Q&A With Xiran Jay Zhao: Iron Widow"
(Photos courtesy of Xiran Jay Zhao)
"Xiran Jay Zhao is a Chinese-Canadian author, Internet personality, and cosplayer. Their debut novel, Iron Widow, became a No. 1 New York Times Best Seller."
1. Congratulations on the release and success of "Iron Widow"! You state on your website that, "I made a promise to my friends 7 years ago that if I actually get published, this is what I'll take my author photo in (a cow suit)." This is the best thing ever! Why a cow suit specifically?
Oh man, it started as a joke between me and my friends when I first started writing books. At the time, I just got my cow onesie in the mail and had taken a few pictures of in it before going to a writer's conference, then one of my friends was like "did you wear your cow onesie there?" and I was like "you know what, if I ever become published for real, I'll take my author photo in the onesie."
I made a whole Facebook status promise about it and everything. And as we all know, you have to live up to your 7 year-old Facebook statuses, so I had no choice but to do a photoshoot in the cow onesie after getting my first book deal. My editors were like "are you SURE you want this picture? It kind of clashes with the vibe of the cover," but I was adamant. I'd made the Internet a promise!
2. This book is being touted by readers as, "one of the best original works I have read in a long time". What inspired "Iron Widow"?
It was born out of a chaotic mixing of anime and Chinese history in my head. I had binged the mecha anime "Darling in the Franxx" within a few days, and while some parts made me think it was the best anime ever, others left me profoundly disappointed.
I was so frustrated that I ranted to a friend about what I wished it had done differently, then my rant went so off the rails that I realized it was basically a whole original world and story. I was so excited that I instantly saved screenshots of the conversation, because I KNEW it would become a thing. And it did. Funny how one random conversation can change your whole life, right?
3. What was the writing process like for "Iron Widow"?
I wrote it in a 2.5 month frenzy, like the story POSSESSED me. I was supposed to be working on another book, but Iron Widow refused to let me go until I got it all down on the page. It was truly an experience.
4. What was something you learned about yourself while writing this story?
It's funny, my first 3 books actually didn't have Chinese protagonists. It was only when I started Iron Widow did I have the realization that it's, in fact, not self-indulgent to write a Chinese protagonist and that my voice as a Chinese person is important.
Now I'm basically planning nothing but Chinese-inspired stories. Stories that showcase a whole range of Chinese protagonists, from ancient figures in historical fiction to mecha pilots in sci-fi to angsty boys in modern China.
5. When did you get into "Mecha" and why was it important to include into this particular story?
Ever since I was a kid, I'd been into media that target teen boys because of their high-octane action. Mechas are a big part of this genre—they're basically the ultimate teen boy power fantasy.
Unfortunately, these stories don't tend to treat their female characters very well, so Iron Widow is basically my feminist take on both mechas and teen boy media.
6. Readers rave and admire the characters of this novel. Although you may see yourself in all three characters, which character in the story do you feel is closest to your experiences and in what ways?
Zetian is the obvious answer. I'd always been a rebel and questioner of authority. Nobody could get me to do something I didn't see the point in doing without a fight. Naturally, gender roles did not sit well with me, and yet I grew up in an environment that was very insistent on them.
This created a lot of frustration that made it into the words of Iron Widow. I'm definitely not as bold and ruthless as Zetian though, and Zetian has a much drier sense of humor than me.
7. What societal norms do you feel are outdated and that you wanted to address directly within this book?
Gender roles. ENOUGH!
8. How important is it for you to write and share Chinese stories specifically within the YA genre?
Stories we read impact the kind of stories we imagine and how we view our place in the world. A common sentiment I've heard from other queer and POC authors is that we didn't realize we could write people like us as the heroes until we saw other people do it, until we truly felt SEEN. It's also important for young readers to be exposed to different perspectives in order to encourage cross-cultural understanding.
9. Finish the sentence: "Stories are most powerful when _____".
They change something within the reader.
10. What is your proudest accomplishment?
Well, debuting at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
11. "Iron Widow" is a story of passion, terror, revenge, ruthlessness, purpose, but ultimately love. Would you say that you are more of a lover or a fighter?
A fighter. I don't become nearly as captivated by love and romance as Zetian. In real life, anyway.
12. What's your best advice for getting over writer's block?
Go back to your plot outline (or start outlining if you haven't done that yet!). Write a later scene you're truly excited for. Or read something else to get yourself inspired.
13. What's the best book you have read this year so far?
Bad Witch Burning by Jessica Lewis! About a Black girl who has the power to bring back the dead and starts trying to make money off of that.
14. The next book in this series is coming out next year. What can readers expect?
Drastic consequences for drastic actions is all I can say.

If it is the first time you saw such a pico projector, then you might say that "Eh… what's the point, slideshows for the smart phone? I doubt it! It is not powerful enough to have practical use." Think about watching movies in the bathroom! Maybe, but probably you'd have a projector built into your bathroom instead of something separate. Finally the WowWee Robotics to give you the answer with its Cinemin Swivel pico projector: for watching video on the ceiling while you're in bed, of course, interesting.
Like many projectors the Cinemin Swiel DLP is a device with a battery. Actually found this to be adequate for personal use and has satisfactory results with your Apple iPhone 3GS: in a room lit got an image that could be seen up to about 13 in a projection field of two feet. In an entirely dark room it was well up to 30 inches diagonally to five feet. Cinemin Swiel pico projector has 480×320-pixel resolution (HVGA); swivel design. WowWee says the Cinemin Swivel can project an image from 8 inches to 50 inches but you should be especially careful with the approach for anything more 30 inches, while pixels and brightness individual become problematic. The colors were amazingly bright Give the lighting condition of the room.
In battery mode you can use it for about 90 minutes, much less than the 135 minutes they say in the papers, but most users would use an external source of energy for such prolonged use, anyway. Other features included with the device to project a switch on the back, a focus dial and an integrated speaker (with volume buttons) which is offset by a headphone jack.

Describing Fusarium diseases on maize in 2013 using data from several production sites

...5); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">As in other parts of the world, the frequency of weather extremes has increased greatly in Hungary in recent years. This means that maize production is faced with greater risks from all aspects: nutrient replacement, irrigation, plant protection. This is especially true of fusarium diseases. In a continental climate, the pathogens causing the most serious problems are species belonging to the Fusarium genus. They infect the ears, which – besides reducing the yield – poses considerable risk to both human and animal health due to the mycotoxins produced by them. Depending on which Fusarium species are dominant at a given location, changes can be expected in the level of infection and in the quality deterioration caused by the mycotoxins they produce. Fusarium spp. not only damages the maize ears but when pathogen attacks the stalk, the plant dies earlier, reducing grain filling and resulting in small, light ears. In addition, the stalks break or lodge, resulting in further yield losses from ears that cannot be harvested. The degree of infection is fundamentally determined by the resistance traits of the maize hybrids, but also a great role in that region Fusarium species composition as well.
Sensitivity of methods for estimating reference evapotranspiration

Nevertheless, the harmonization of the large number of methods and the changing user needs often causes problems. Sensitivity analysis of 10 ET0 estimation models and model variants was performed. Magnitude of the obtained outputs and the changes triggered by each atmospheric parameter were evaluated. The objective of the analyses was to get to know the sensitivity of the different models and to select the most accurate and the most suitable ones for adaptation to local circumstances. Therefore, it becomes possible to achieve as high accuracy as possible in applications which need ET0 estimation.

Significant correlations were observed during the examination of the correlation between NDVI and yield. Furthermore, it was concluded that yield can be estimated with a 6.6–8.3% mean error based on the regression equations. No significant difference was shown between the error of estimations performed with various regression types and that of the estimations performed at various dates. For this reason, the identification of the optimum estimation method and the determination of the optimum date for estimation call for further examinations.
Examination of soil parameters based on the evaluation of the spectroradiometric reflectance characteristics of the topsoil
Károly Bakos;
In this article we are presenting the methodology applied to analyse and interpret the topsoil surface reflectance parameters of multiple samples collected in the Mugello valley area in northern Italy in October 2012. The main aim of the whole project was to discover geomorphological behaviour and situation of the area ino order to improve pote...ntial for correct dating of certain archaeological artefacts found in the nearby areas. One of the crucial problem researchers are facing in the area is the lack of understanding of the underlying geological and geomorphological processes that were describing and characterizing the area and that played important role not only in the current geography and landscape formation but also in the transportation of various sediments and artefacts. In this particular research the main aim is to examine the possibility of developing a quick way to assess low level properties of the soil using hand held spectrometer and rapid analysis of cross-section using in situ measurement techniques. In this work we collected over 2000 individual samples of topsoil surface reflectance properties that we organized into a spectral library. This library is then to be used to describe physical and chemical processes in the soil. To support the analysis results were compared to analysis results from different kind of assessments in the same area. Our results show a great potential of application of hand held imaging spectrometer in soil property analysis based on the top soil surface reflectance parameters.
Soil analysis as the foundation of precision nutritive supply in the Hajdúszoboszló region
Zoltán Pongrácz
Larger cultivated plots are heterogeneous from a pedological aspect. Heterogeneity causes problems during fertilization and harvest. The heterogeneity of cultivated areas can be compensated by fertilization which is based on soil analysis. We carried out research into the changes of the soil on three soil types, from 1966 to 2006, on the cultiv...ated areas of Hajdúszoboszló.
There were no significant changes in pH on chernozem meadow soil and meadow chernozem soil, but the pH increased in 0-30 cm layer on type meadow solonetz soil. The saline content decreased in every examined soil type. Decrease was the largest on meadow solonetz soil. Decline of humus content was the largest (0.95%) on chernozem meadow soil, and the smallest (0.39%) on meadow chernozem soil. The nitrogen content decreased with 528 ppm in the 0-30 cm layer on chernozem meadow soil, and decreased by 186 ppm on meadow solonetz soil. Phosphorus and
potassium content increased in every examined soil types. Rise of phosphorus content was 188.9 ppm in the 0-30 cm layer on meadow chernozem soil. The potassium content rose by 153.7 ppm on this soil type. Phosphorus content increased with 70.8 ppm, and potassium content increased by 57.6 ppm from 1966 to 2006.

Sándor Pázmányi;
Sándor Pajna
A description of the design and operating principle of the GPS system and the explanation of key terms of telemetric and chronometric measurements is followed by several examples characteristic of the results of factors which may influence accuracy of the identification of geographic location by satellites. In addition, results of accuracy test...ing of absolute GPS measurements and improvements of accuracy experienced and attributable to the alteration of the periods used for establishing average values are highlighted. Furthermore, we examined certain practical possibilities for the use of GPS systems in agriculture, emphasizing the advantages hidden in the use of GIS-GPS integration, crop mapping, soil maps and gross produce maps, in the application of the VRT (Variable Rate Technology) and in combinations of the same.
The impact of environmental factors on the measurement of the normalized difference vegetation index
The level of nitrogen supply of a plant population can be quickly measured with non-destructive optical measurement devices and the differentiated determination of nitrogen shortage and the replenishment of nitrogen can also be carried out. The level of nitrogen supply is based on the fact that the chlorophyll content of crops is in close corre...lation with nitrogen content and that the amount of chlorophyll can be easily measured on the basis of the light absorption of chlorophyll molecules. The successfulness of optical measurements can be influenced by the change of weather parameters; therefore, it is important to know the correlations between measurement results and weather parameters when it comes to practical use.
The GreenSeeker Model 505 measurement device determines the relative chlorophyll content in the form of the Normalized Difference
Vegetation Index (NDVI) calculated on the basis of the intensity of the reflected red and infrared rays of light from the crop population. The measurements were performed in alfalfa population with 10 replications at five measurement heights and four measurement times. The weather parameters were measured by a weather station located in the middle of the alfalfa population and the correlations between the meteorological data and the NDVI values were examined. During the statistical evaluation of the results, it was established that the NDVI measurement is primarily influenced by the relative humidity of the air, secondly by air temperature and thirdly by wind speed. Relative humidity was in strong correlation with the NDVI values which were also influenced by the measurement height and time. Regression was not significant in the case of 20 cm measurement height, but the measurements above 40 cm height showed significant correlations. The correlation was shown to be strong at each measurement time, but the influence of humidity was the lowest at 11:00 and 14:00.

With the help of this report evaluating the current situation of the region, characteristics of the development in agricultural production and regional differences can be clarified. By mapping out the regional soil, land use and climatic conditions and organizing these into a geographical information system, one can easily determine which plant...s are the most ideal to cultivate in that particular region. Moreover, it is a useful tool that enables us to
establish the most favorable land use structure suited to ecological demands and also helps to determine the methods of soil protection.
During our work, we chose administrative units in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County, based on the latest aspects of regional cultivation.
Our pilot areas are: the small regions of Nyíregyháza, Nyírbátor, Nagykálló, Mátészalka and Csenger.
Using the database, we separated and uncovered the soil conditions of the pilot areas: the chemical and physical properties of the soil layer which is exploited by the roots of the plants, the humus content, the nutrient supply, the thickness of the cultivated layer and the water management conditions.
We separated the districts of regional cultivation, where the basic elements of the traditional Kreybig color systems were applied (light yellow, dark yellow, light brown, dark green, blue, pink, red, gray, greenish brown, reddish purple, light purple, dark purple, light green).
By using the data collected from the pilot areas, we compiled a map database, which is suitable to illustrate the plant cultivating characteristics of the region. We made recommendations to determine the most favorable plants to cultivate in the specific region with the given meteorological and soil conditions, as well as for the shifting of crops.
Our recommendations were also illustrated in a map with a resolution of 1:25000.
Statistical comparison of soil analysing results of chernozem soils
The soil fertility was degraded as a result of unreasonable tillage, therefore the application of site-specific nutrient replacement is necessary. It is essential for the application of precision fertilization to know the location, extension, soil properties and nutrient-supply of the different soil types of
cultivated areas.
We collected... soil samples from 580 hectares of land in 2006. Soil samples were collected from every 5 ha in 30 and 60 cm depths during Spring from 20.05.2006 to 12.06.2006 and again in Autumn from 09.19.2006 to 02.10.2006. Soil samples were analysed at the Department of Agricultural Chemistry and Soil Science of DE-ATC.
The two examined soils are slightly calcareous, weakly saline, poor in zinc. The calcareous chernozem soil is slightly acid, the content of humus, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is medium in this soil. The meadow chernozem soil is slightly alkaline, and properly supplied with humus and potassium, and middling supplied with nitrogen and phosphorus. The meadow chernozem soil is more heterogenous in soil plasticity, lime, saline, nitrogen phosphorus and potassium content and less heterogenous in pH and zinc content than the calcareous chernozem soil.
Standard deviation of measured values in pH, soil plasticity, humus and nitrogen content significantly differ between the examined soil types. The soil plasticity, pH, humus, nitrogen and zinc content significantly differ among calcareous chernozem soil and meadow chernozem soil, but the difference in phosphorus content can be statistically proven only in case of Spring soil sampling.
Experiences of Establishing Up-To-Date On-Site Sampler Applications
Spatial problems and spatial decisions are decisive in agricultural-environmental informatics systems and the solutions require systems that can collect, evaluate and display spatial data. The distinctive features of spatial informatics systems therefore have to be considered when establishing integrated spatial informatics systems.
However,... the prepared spatial evaluations are not the only "added value" elements of a completed informatics system. The method of access can also speed up the work of participants and the whole system, making it more efficient with simple data-handling and the application of open standards. The significance of prepared database archives can also increase, since the accumulated data-assets are easy to utilize and become marketable.
Mapping agricultural performance and environmental parameters aimed at generic regional studies
Károly Livius Bakos;
In this paper we present the interim results and the methodology applied to create web GIS ready cartographic representations of agricultural performance related information and environmental parameters. The main aim of the research is to eventually create a web GIS based decision support system that can enable decsision makers and genera...l users to create useful and representative map layouts of certain environment and agriculture related phenomena that can be easily analyzed and interpreted to make strategic decisions on environmental issues. In this aim the initial steps are to evaluate the available data for cartographic representation, analyze the possibilities of visualization, create a GIS ready data structure and implement the database and revise additional possibilities to incorporate further environment related datasets of auxiliary sources. The main results of the study are a comprehensive set of visual layouts that could serve as guideline for mapping statistical information of agriculture and some steps towards the incorporation of environmental parameters to the system.
Opportunities of delineating inland waters and soil moisture with remote sensed data
Gyula Vasvári;
Róbert Vig;
The methodology for delineating water bodies on multispectral remote sensing imagery was examined and evaluated. A supervised approach is tested with the aim to accurately detect inland water, moisturised soil surface and swampy patches on the Landsat TM 7 scene. The goal of this research is to investigate whether the application of remote sens...ing image interpretation could further refine the possibilities of future soil conductivity measurement research. The methodologies used were the application of supervised classification algorithms based on the training data collected in the area. The achieved overall classification accuracy value of 83.0795% suggests that the methodology could be used as a successful strategy to incorporate remote sensing data interpretation into soil conductivity measurement planning and application. The main conclusion that can be drawn is that processing of multispectral data with further refinement of the presented methodologies can led to very useful outcomes for environmental measurements.
The effect of water supply and crop year on the yield potential of sweet maize (Zea mays L. convar. saccharata Koern.) hybrids with different genotypes
Krisztina Molnár;
Eszter Nemeskéri;
The successfulness of crop production is significantly affected by not only the the average yields that provide cost effectiveness, but also the success of striving for yield safety, therefore, varieties and hybrids tolerant to environmental stress factors are worth being included into the sowing structure. Our aim was to further the decision m...aking of producers in prepaering the right sowing structure by the evaluation of sweet maize hybrids' tolerance to excess rainfall.
We performed our examinations in an extremely wet year (2010) on chernozem soil on three sweet maize hybrids (GSS 8529, GSS 1477, Overland) in 12 replications. Comparing the yields of 2010 with those that can be expected under optimal rainfall conditions, we showed that the examined hybrids react to the amount of rainfall higher than their needs with yield depression. The excess rainfall tolerance of the examined hybrids is different in the case of each hybrid.
Comparative analysis of soil analysing datas on different sempling-plots
Hibrid maize is cultivated on larger plots, therefore the sown areas of hibrid maize are heterogeneous from a pedology aspect. Heterogenity causes problems during tasseling, chemical plant protection and harvest. The heterogenity of sown areas can be compensated by fertilization which is based on soil analysis. We carried out research into chan...ge of the soil on four soil types from 1987 to 2005.
There were no significant changes in pH, hydroiodic acidity, CaCO3-content, humus-content on meadow chernozem soil. We detected equalization of salin content in the examined soil layers. There were no significant changes in the measured values on chernozem meadow soil and solonetz meadow soil in 2005. We discoverd equalization of saline content on chernozem meadow soil, but the changes were not as obvious as the changes on meadow chernozem soil. We found salinization in the 30-60 cm soil layer on type meadow soil that may be due to water movement.

SUNY and Sweatshops: How is SUNY Enforcing its Apparel Anti-Sweatshop Policy?
Research|Action grounds much of its work in research justice. That means ensuring those most excluded from "official" knowledge have control over the means of knowledge production and can incorporate research into their campaigns for social change. Participatory Action Research (PAR) is a valuable approach that builds upon a set of shared commitments between the researcher and the community so that they identify the questions, research design and conclusions together. In this way, a community's values, strengths and ways of knowing and understanding are respected and activated. PAR is an excellent tool for organizers to use as a component of campaign planning. PAR can help groups better understand the context in which they are working; win campaigns; and recruit new members and develop leaders. PAR is also effective in enlisting members in program or organizational evaluation. Through popular education, the findings are reported back to the community.
Understanding your membership and constituency is a crucial part of any organization's work. Surveys, interviews, focus groups, and other research strategies empower member-based organizations with the data to design plans that work. Additionally, understanding how your organization works in practice through strategic action plans and audits can help staffers and members develop stronger and more targeted organizational goals. This type of research can be used to develop public documents in advance of a campaign, or internal reports used to assess how well an organization functions. Examples of organizational learning projects R|A can help you with include: surveys of membership preferences in advance of contract negotiations; landscape and SWOT analyses of organizational structures; communications audits for internal and external recipients; strategic Action Planning to incorporate research results into future action; and, capacity-building trainings and curriculum for staff development.

Giant Yamaguchi owner Satoshi Hara's continuation statement 18:34 on September 18
Professional baseball and giant Juichi Yamaguchi, who has been conducting this season, will continue to be a team for the next season, which is the second year of the three-year contract, after highly praising the ability of director Tokunori Hara, who has just won the league. The idea of leaving the command of was shown.
The giant has won 73 wins, 59 losses and 2 draws this season, with a 4.5 game difference to the second-ranked DeNA, with a magic number of 4 for the first league win in five years.
The owner Yamaguchi said on the 18th after the professional baseball owners' meeting held at a hotel in Tokyo, and in response to interviews by the media companies, Mr. Haraguchi, who will be conducting the third run from this season, "I was able to use it to energize the whole team. I think it gave me a good deal," he said.
On top of that, "I think that most of the Giants fans appreciate the skill of Hara. The next season will be in line with the contract," he said, and the next season, the second year of the three-year contract, will continue. I showed the idea of letting the team lead.
