Q: Variable loses value after for loop in Oracle PL/SQL I wrote following script in Oracle SQL:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION working_time
RETURN INT
IS
diff INT;
sum_ INT;
CURSOR cur IS SELECT * FROM users_;
BEGIN
sum_ := 0;
FOR usr IN cur LOOP
    SELECT SUM(NVL(end_, CURRENT_DATE) - start_)
    INTO diff
    FROM experience
    WHERE user_ = usr.id_;

    sum_ := sum_ + diff;

    IF usr.id_ != 100 THEN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('User ' || usr.first_name || ' ' || usr.last_name || ' has worked for ' || diff || ' days.');
    END IF;

    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('return: ' || sum_);
END LOOP;

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('return: ' || sum_);
RETURN sum_;
END working_time;

The value of sum_ inside for loop is printed correctly, but outside the loop it prints nothing. The variable was declared before for loop, so I don't understand what's going on. Can anyone explain how to fix it and why is it happening?
EDIT: posted full code

A: Ok, I found what was wrong:
In some cases diff was not a number (and this was the last case, so I thought that the for loop was the reason).
Changing the code to
sum_ := sum_ + NVL(diff, 0);

solved the issue.

Local schools in race for Christmas number 1 in aid of Shooting Star Chase
Home » Latest news » Local schools in race for Christmas number 1 in aid of Shooting Star Chase
Nine Elmbridge schools have joined forces to pen an original song about making the world a better place in the hope of becoming Christmas number 1 and raising vital funds for Shooting Star Chase.
A Better World, released on Monday 23 November, was written by primary and secondary students in workshops where they brainstormed words and phrases which convey feelings they have experienced. Gavin Greenaway, locally acclaimed music composer and conductor, worked with the children from Weybridge and Walton-on-Thames to compose the music.
A Better World includes verses focused on peace, friendship and courage, and also features a rap. The song is available to download via iTunes, with high hopes it will make the top 40 and raise funds to help us support children with life-limiting conditions and their families in London and Surrey.
At the launch of the event, the Mayor of Elmbridge congratulated the students on the impressive sentiment of the song and their fundraising efforts for their local children's hospice charity. Zoe Lucker, local mum and actress, also joined the chidlren at the launch and made the first download.
The song was created as part of the Elmbridge Schools Values Group – a values-led education system adopted by Heathside School, Rydens Enterprise School, Walton Leigh School, Ashley C of E Primary School, St James C of E Primary School, St Charles Borromeo Catholic Primary School, Bell Farm Primary School, Manby Lodge Infant School and Oatlands Infant School – all in Weybridge and Walton-on-Thames.
Pupils are encouraged to consider 22 universally positive values such as respect, trust and honesty in activities, lessons and events throughout their education to develop a solid foundation on which to base their future actions, decisions and judgements. Recent projects have included concerts, a community day, a values poetry anthology and a community values garden.
Pat Beechey, Chair of the Elmbridge Schools Values Group, said:
"The pupils and teachers from the Elmbridge Schools Values Group are all really proud of A Better World and the message it conveys of joining together to create a better place to live – particularly given recent events. There is often a perception that young people don't care about the world around them but our students have really demonstrated what strong and positive individuals they are with such passionate lyrics.
"We chose to support Shooting Star Chase by donating all proceeds from the song because the pupils wanted to do something for fellow children and young people in the local area going through unimaginable circumstances. The children's hospice charity does such fantastic work supporting families in London and Surrey, and we hope that by releasing this song and raising as much as we can, we will bring hope to them."
Single downloads cost around 99p, with proceeds going to Shooting Star Chase.

Q: Why Find method get out of range MongDb C# driver 2.10.4? Hi i try to duplicate my collection in the database. I have white the following Main:
using MongoDB.Bson;
using MongoDB.Bson.Serialization.Attributes;
using MongoDB.Driver;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        MongoCRUD db = new MongoCRUD("testClass");

        /* copy the colection*/
        var targetTable = "geo2";
        var newTable = "NormalizeCordinatesGeo";

        db.CopyColection<GlobalUrbanPoint>(targetTable, newTable);
    }

The following class is for my model
public class GlobalUrbanPoint
    {
        [BsonId]
        public ObjectId  Id{ get; set; }
        public double LATITUDE { get; set; }
        public double LONGITUDE { get; set; }
        ...
    }

For the the operation in my program i use use MongoCRUD class:
        public class MongoCRUD
    {
        private IMongoDatabase db;

        public MongoCRUD(string database)
        {
            var client = new MongoClient();
            db = client.GetDatabase(database);
        }

        ...

        public void CopyColection<T>(string targetTable, string newTable)
        {
            var source_colection = db.GetCollection<T>(targetTable);
            var dest = db.GetCollection<T>(newTable);
            dest.InsertMany(source_colection.Find(new BsonDocument()).ToList());

        }

    }

To test the function CopyColection i have crate a colocation with 6 documents and it work as expected.
When i try to copy a larger collection more specific with 66.579 documents i get flowing error
System.FormatException: An error occurred while deserializing the TYPE property of class MongoDBCurve.Program+GlobalUrbanPoint: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
I do not understand do i need to specify the bounds? I need to create a batches because the collection is to large ?
Can someone explain to my why this occurs and what i need to do to copy properly my collection.
Thank you for your time.

A: I found the mistake that i made after try and error. The types of filed of my class it was different from the data in database.


Dysphagia is the medical term used when patients report trouble swallowing. Dysphagia is not necessarily associated with pain to swallow, but rather to a subjective sense of difficulty in making food go down the path between the mouth and stomach. Pain swallowing sore throat is called and is usually related to frames of sore throat. Sore throat and dysphagia are different symptoms that may occur in different diseases, hence the importance of knowing how to distinguish them.

iPSC-based RPE cell transplant study
Preclinical study by WIVR researchers finds adverse immune response to allogenic subretinal stem cell transplantation. (PDF) We generated retinal pigment epithelial cells from the skin of one strain of pig and successfully implanted them under the retina of unrelated pigs and found that this induced an immune response in the host, which is concerning for graft rejection. These findings suggest that immunologically matched cells will be important for retinal cell replacement.

Patient-specific iPSC-derived photoreceptor precursor cells as a means to investigate retinitis pigmentosa
In this study, state of the art sequencing technologies were used to identify disease-causing mutations in the USH2A gene in an adult patient with autosomal recessive Retinitis Pigmentosa. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), generated from the patient's skin, were differentiated into multi-layer eyecup-like structures with features of human retinal cells. The inner layer of the eyecups contained immature photoreceptor cells that expressed photoreceptor markers and exhibited cilia and basal bodies characteristic of outer segments.
Announcing Project MAK
In 2010 scientists at the University of Iowa Wynn Institute for Vision Research discovered an RP-causing gene known as MAK. They have now embarked upon an ambitious project to cure this disease, which has three major goals.
1) Identify all patients in the United States who have retinitis pigmentosa caused by mutations in the MAK gene.
2) Develop gene-replacement therapy for younger individuals with this disease who still have a substantial amount of functioning retina remaining.
Non-exomic and synonymous variants in ABCA4 are an important cause of Stargardt disease
Mutations in ABCA4 cause Stargardt disease and other blinding autosomal recessive retinal disorders. However, sequencing of the complete coding sequence in patients with clinical features of Stargardt disease sometimes fails to detect one or both mutations. For example, among 208 individuals with clear clinical evidence of ABCA4 disease ascertained at a single institution, 28 had only one disease-causing allele identified in the exons and splice junctions of the primary retinal transcript of the gene.
First gene therapy experiments for the most common genetic form of Bardet-Biedl Syndrome
Humans and mice with specific mutations in the BBS1 gene show progressive death of photoreceptor cells. In research recently published in Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Wynn Institute scientists made a virus containing a normal version of the mouse Bbs1 gene and injected the virus under the retina of mutant mice. When compared to untreated mice and untreated eyes in the same mice, the treated mice showed modest improvement in electrical responses in the retina and also showed partial restoration of normal retinal biochemistry.

The empire of Sensorium
Wonder, fear, empathy, excitement, love, and déjà vu became artistic experiences with intelligent technology in Sensorium.
Intelligence has many facets. So far, we have been transferring the computational and logical side of intelligence to machines, forgetting that there is something else that beats to the time of life: it's the time of emotions, the time of perception.
Computing power, cost and time efficiency, information processing capacity, data and language, logical thinking, semantic constructs: the comparisons between artificial and human intelligence are most often played on this field. Since its early days, human history has been studded with technical achievements that allowed people to transfer increasingly more sophisticated tasks to machines. In return, humans have gained the advantage of time, as machines carry out multiple tasks with great precision allowing us to expand our abilities on an exponential scale.
It is exactly that ability, the one that enables machines to increase and extend our intelligence which we refer to as super-intelligence.
But what do we really mean by that? Are we implying that machines have become smarter than us? What can, and cannot, artificial intelligence do? To what extent does technology extends our free will and does it resemble us? How does it actually process the world around us?
This investigation could start by looking for similarities between these two intelligences. Or, it could start by analyzing their differences. One of the first differences that come to mind is the human body, as described by the English poet, William Blake, in 1790 in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: "Man has no Body distinct from his Soul; for that called Body is a portion of Soul discerned by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age."
Following the trail Blake left in this fragment, we could ask ourselves if what really sets us apart from machines is our intellect, or rather, the purely subjective and human nature of our sensations and emotions that make us who we are. Italian philosopher, Emanuele Coccia, considered that question in Sensible Life: A Micro-ontology of the Image "We consider ourselves as rational, thinking, speaking beings — yet, for us to live is above all to look, taste, touch, or smell the world. Our primary relationship with the world as it exists is not an act of immaterial contemplation, nor a practical, moral, and ethical fact. Our relationship with the world is a sensible life: sensations, smells, images, and above all, a restless production of sensible realities."
Sensorium was created to investigate and honor the sensitive and emotional nature of human beings. Held in Milan and powered by Gucci during the Fast Company Festival "The dawn of superintelligence" this interactive exhibition explored the depths of the human sensory apparatus. A sacred place where experiences are created using advanced technologies and innovative solutions to express and amplify emotions or "Super-senses" challenging intellectual and cognitive functions. This experience happened inside a dark and mesmerizing emotional chamber, that showcased unique startups and artistic installations. Participants explored six different areas, each dedicated to a specific emotion, by performing actions or being exposed to various stimuli that created an experience.
Each visitor was invited to experience their own journey through the room of marvels — an open space with no pre-established rules, which encouraged visitors to experience an alternative perspective of time. As French novelist, Marcel Proust, said at the beginning of the 20th century: "An hour is not merely an hour; it is a vase full of scents and sounds and projects and climates." And, we all know how the time spent in fear, wonder, love, or pleasure, creates a subjectively different experience. Our sensitive and permeable nature interacts with the rest of the universe, shortens and dilates how we feel without quantitative criteria.
That's why Sensorium had a built in limbo space — an antechamber where visitors would "decompress" from the real world before beginning the experience — leaving behind "time of efficient reasoning" (governed by the smartphone) and to settle in the "time of pure feeling" (the sensorium experience). As stated in the Sensorium manifesto found at the entrance:
"Prepare yourself for this immersive experience: an intimate dialog, a descent into the unspoken, a sensational journey, a stereophonic kaleidoscope. Beyond this threshold, you will discover the wisdom of your own sensitive intelligence. You will need very few things, very few and exclusively your own: pure heart, carefree mind and the entire spectrum of your super-senses."
Stripped of their conventional criteria and measurable certainties, visitors were invited to an exploration journey based on intuition and curiosity in a Dogville-inspired, 350 mq laboratory divided into six areas, each dedicated to the perceptual experience of an emotion. Sensorium's meaningful experiences were chosen on the basis of two criteria:
The emotions had to correspond to a simple perceptual stimulus, one associated with artwork which required minimal thinking to be understood.
The experience had to be interactive and based on a fascinating but somewhat undiscovered technology, moreover, its technical complexity had to be invisible and promote spontaneous interaction.
Sensorium explored the area of wonder, fear, empathy, excitement, love, and déjà vu: a collection of emotional states typical of human beings turned into artistic experiences with cutting-edge intelligent technology — one that is present but not perceived as oppressive or invasive.
Like human beings, Sensorium was designed to be constantly transformed: It could grow, generate other experiences, or find new locations with different forms.
Wonder: A mixed state of joy and doubt
Audio-visual infinity mirrors designed by Italian collective Ölo farm. The visitor was invited to get lost while contemplating reflections and colors in a magical well.
Fear: It may be as old as life on Earth. How does your brain do this?
A 3D Razer and six sound environments, designed in collaboration with sound designer Riccardo Alfano to explore the different shades of fear.
Empathy: You as if you were another, looking with someone else's eyes. How does it feel being the other?
Looking at images of emotionally intense experiences activates complex brain areas. In this installation, a headset from neurotechnology company, Arctop, measured a visitor's brain activity as they watched an image sequence.
Excitement: Succumb to provocation, a magnetic attraction. Feel like touching it?
Through WeArt's ring that can apply forces, vibrations, and temperature changes to the skin, and Wovo's sex toys, it was possible to "feel" the touch of objects and layers that are not physically present, but are shown on video.
Love: The sublime mental state that makes the world go round
A tactile dialogue between visitors is made possible by kinect technology and a collaboration with algorithmic artist Andres Villa Torres.
Déjà vu: Does time exist? Now is now or a little while ago?
A selfie is created from digital particles and is immediately turned into a pile of ash in collaboration with the new media art and design collective, Pangenerator.
SENSORIUM @GUCCI
Last July, The dawn of super-intelligence, the European Innovation Festival organized by Fast Company and powered by Gucci, posed a series of questioned about the future of society and explored the answers with innovators, historians, communicators, doctors, and artists.
H-FARM was asked by Gucci — which has been actively exploring technology and innovation during the past few years — to build an experience that investigates the borders and overlaps between artificial intelligence and human skills.
This is how Sensorium was born, an interactive environment made of six installations dedicated to super senses and designed together with artists and startups that have put the most refined technologies at the service of an emotional experience.

Nestled at the edge where the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of northern New Mexico spread westward toward the sage brushed mesas and plains is a land of wide expanse and open skies. Here you'll find the enchanting high desert town of Taos, a historic art colony and world-class outdoor recreation mecca.
Visitors to Taos often remark on the magnetic-like pull the town seems to possess, drawing them back time and time again. They fall under the spell of the jagged peaks and sun-drenched landscape, and the almost spiritual vibes that this magical destination with its age-old traditions emits.
History is honored here, as for centuries, people from the Pueblo Indians and the conquistadors to Mexican settlers and Anglo ranchers have made Taos their home. The town is also known as a community that has nurtured the creative spirits of artists from all over the world.
Stroll around the Taos Plaza with its eclectic shops and galleries. The plaza is over 300 years old and still retains its original shape. Built for defense, windows and doors faced into the plaza, allowing the limited entrances to be barricaded when necessary. This is one of only a handful of places in the country permitted to fly the American flag day and night. Story has it that a group of patriots guarded an American flag on the plaza during the Civil War and because of their efforts, the plaza was given this honor. Note also the large cross, which pays tribute to the many townspeople who died in the Bataan Death March during WWII.
Connecting the plaza is Bent Street and the John Dunn Shops, a delightful pedestrian-friendly locale with unique stores and restaurants. Check out Coyote Moon's array of Southwest folk art and La Tierra Mineral Gallery, which boasts a great collection of rare minerals, fossils and carvings. Sustainable goods are the focus at Seconds Eco Store, where you'll find amazing recycled creations.
The Taos Pueblo is a must-see for all visitors. It's the only living Native American community designated both a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and a National Historic Landmark. For over 1,000 years, the multi-storied adobe buildings have been continuously inhabited and the Puebloan culture remains intact. Houses are made of adobe, in the traditional way, by mixing dirt with straw and water, and they are passed on from generation to generation, and maintained by each family. Although today, access to the structures is via a doorway, you can still see ladders which lead to rooftop entrances, reminiscent of the past when such construction was necessary for defensive purposes.
To enhance your experience, take a tour and learn more about the history, as well as the Puebloan way of life. Before you leave, stop in at one of the homes, which also serve as shops selling art, jewelry, pottery and Native American food, such as the quintessential fry bread. The residents are usually more than happy to chat about their childhood, education, Pueblo government and the current state of affairs in their community.
Museums are another of the town's popular attractions. History comes alive at the Kit Carson House & Museum, where you can take a guided tour of the adobe house that Indian scout and mountain man, Kit Carson, gave to his wife Josefa Jaramillo as a wedding present in 1843. Now wonderfully restored and filled with information and artifacts of Carson's life, the museum is a window into the Wild West days. When you leave, make your way to the Historic Kit Carson Cemetery where Kit, his family members and other persons of historic interest are buried.
Also of note is the Hacienda de los Martinez, one of the few northern New Mexico style, late Spanish Colonial period "Great Houses" remaining in the American Southwest. Built in 1804, this fortress-like building became a significant trade hub for the northern boundary of the Spanish Empire. Today, the Hacienda, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, provides visitors with a glimpse of the rugged frontier life and times of the early 1800s.
For art aficionados, there are several museum options. My personal favorites include the Harwood Museum of Art, the Blumenschein Home and Museum and the Taos Art Museum at the Fechin House. At the Harwood, you'll experience a comprehensive story of art in Taos, from traditional to cutting-edge contemporary. The Blumenschein celebrates the lives and art of Ernest Blumenschein, his wife Mary and their daughter Helen, as well as works from the Taos Society of Artists. Blumenschein was a founder of the society and he became one of the Southwest's best known painters of pueblo Indian genre. Over at the Fechin, you'll find the hand-carved furnishing and art of Russian born artist Nicolai Fechin, who made his home in Taos.
About four miles south of the town is the famous San Francisco de Asis Church. Built in the early 1800s, it's the only original church which remains intact in the Taos area. Numerous 20th Century artists, including Georgia O'Keeffe and Ansel Adams, were fascinated by the building's design elements. Their artistic renderings of the structure have made it nationally famous.
A half-hour drive will take you to the Taos Ski Valley, an outdoor playground for all seasons. Mountain bikers enjoy the magnificent terrain that skiers love during the winter. Hikers take to the trails, with paths for all levels and abilities, from popular Williams Lake to challenging Wheeler Peak, the highest point in New Mexico. After you're done with your adrenaline pumping fun, head to Taos Cow in the nearby village of Arroyo Seco for some homemade ice cream with southwestern flavor combinations, like piñon caramel and Mexican chocolate.
It's one thing to explore the dramatic scenery of Taos on foot; it's another to experience it from a bird's eye perch high above ground. Only then are the wonders of this northern New Mexico locale fully realized. Such perspective is best obtained during a hot air balloon ride at sunrise when the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains are a deep purple and the sky is streaked with brilliant hues of pink and orange, while the mighty Rio Grande Gorge appears as an eerie and otherworldly formation.
It was a calm summer morning when I joined a group of fifteen passengers along with two balloon pilots and their chaser crews from Pueblo Balloon Company. We headed out to the departure point, driving on what was once an old stagecoach road. Before participating in the set-up process, our group gathered to watch as one of the crew members sent a small, helium-filled balloon or "piball," up in the air in order to check wind conditions. Then show time commenced, with the exciting inflation of Arrows and Major Tom, the two balloons that would carry us up, up and away. Once the basket of my group's balloon was upright, we got in, watched as the balloon's crown line was released and said adios to terra firma for the next hour.
It's amazing how quiet it is once you're up in the air, with only the whooshing sounds of the burners as they are utilized to gain lift. The picturesque panorama unfolded around us and I found myself captivated by the balloon's shadow as it was cast on the ground and against the Rio Grande Gorge's basaltic walls. The gorge is a 37-mile rift created by a separation in the earth's crust caused by faulting and other earth movements millions of years ago. It's a stunning high desert chasm that elicits plenty of oohs and aahs from viewers, who never tire of its rugged beauty. This section of the historic Rio Grande is the nation's first Wild and Scenic River, and from late spring through early fall, it's a popular area for rafting and kayaking.
Pueblo Balloon is well known for its skilled and experienced pilots and impeccable safety record, as well as for its famed "splash and dash" experience in the Rio Grande. If the conditions are right, your pilot will take the balloon down into the Gorge and let the basket skim along the river. Some folks like to call it the "dip and drip," but our pilot, Chris, prefers to describe it as "balloon rafting." For passengers, it's a unique thrill and a definite highlight of the trip, but it's also exciting to watch another balloon in front of you as it rides the waves, providing that perfect photographic moment.
Another highlight during our adventure was coming upon dozens and dozens of bighorn sheep as they raced across the land in Serengeti-like migration form. The males or rams, with their distinctive curled or spiral horns, were the stars of this display, and as observers from above, we reveled in this special sighting.
Hot air balloons have been around for a long time, with the first documented flight made in 1783 by Joseph and Etienne Montgolifier, two brothers from France who were in the paper manufacturing business. The brothers developed a new paper which was a combination of paper and silk. When they watched it burn, they observed that little pieces of un-burned paper and ashes would rise into the air. This phenomenon fascinated them, and they decided to explore the possibility of capturing this air and using it as a means for man to fly. Their first flight lasted 25 minutes and their balloon rose to 1,500 feet and traveled a total distance of five miles. Ballooning eventually became the rage in Europe and later in the U.S. Today, hot air balloons are popular everywhere, and Albuquerque, New Mexico has the notable distinction of being the ballooning capital of the world.
There have been many advancements made in ballooning over the years, but steering wheels aren't one of them. Pilots can control ascents and descents via the burners. When the air inside the envelope or fabric bag is heated, the balloon goes up. To descend, the pilot allows the air to cool and the balloon subsequently becomes heavier than air. Once airborne, balloons just float with the wind.
Though the pilot doesn't know exactly where the balloon will land ahead of time, he still has control over the landing. Our pilot had a general plan as he set out, but Mother Nature can be fickle, showing us that flexibility and adaptability are essential in the art of ballooning. During our time in the gorge, the winds changed direction from their original course, forcing the pilots to alter their routes. They tried to land at one spot, but it proved impossible, so plan B was quickly put into place. We eventually touched down without issue in an open field covered with sagebrush.
After the ride, we drove over to the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, the fifth highest bridge in the U.S. and a famous landmark in the state. At a picnic table overlooking this scenic wonder, we toasted to our success with "sunrises," a combination of orange juice and champagne, more commonly known as mimosas. The pilots told us we had proven to be "brave and daring souls" during this adventure of a lifetime and they welcomed us into their elite group of aeronauts.
Taos boasts a host of accommodations, from quaint inns and contemporary hotels to rustic lodges and cabins. On the luxe end, there's El Monte Sagrado Living Resort and Spa. The hotel's décor is a creative meld of American West, Mexican, Spanish, Native American and Eastern influences, and there's beautiful artwork on display inside, as well as interspersed throughout the grounds. The lush 10-acre property features an aquatic center with an invigorating salt water hot tub and pool surrounded by waterfalls, plants and flowers. And The Living Spa, named one of the Top 100 U.S. Resort Spas by Conde Nast Traveler, is an eco-conscious rejuvenation center with an extensive menu of treatments that incorporate the use of wild-crafted indigenous plants, flowers and aromatic skin oils inspired by the high desert.
If staying in the Ski Valley is your aim, The Blake, the area's newest property, has ski-in/ski-out and easy trail accessibility. Located in the center of the Village at Taos Ski Valley, this attractive alpine hotel boasts eighty well-appointed rooms and suites, along with a spa, swimming pool and restaurant.
For unique, off-the-grid digs, check out Earthship Biotecture, a company that specializes in eco-construction and sustainable living. There's an Earthship community outside of Taos and you can stay in a house made from natural and recycled materials, where water harvesting is practiced, along with the use of solar heating/cooling and wind electric power.


Jason and Robin interview Dr. David Wang about Notre-Dame Cathedral and its recent fire. Dr. Wang is a widely published expert on architecture who recently retired as head of the architectural department at Washington State University. In this discussion, Dr. Wang explains the origins of Notre-Dame and what its Gothic style tells us about the people who built it and about us as human beings. The spiritual ideas behind the cathedral stand in sharp contrast with the design of modern buildings and cities, which are based on what Dr. Wang calls "the sacramentality of the machine." Understanding the sacramentality of buildings points to an important limitation in the process of rebuilding Notre-Dame, Dr. Wang suggested. This is because our culture has lost more than the spire and roof of this historic cathedral: we have lost continuity with the sacramental worldview that this cathedral embodies.
Robert Merry at The American Conservative has put his finger on the psychology behind Europe's self-abrogation. His article, 'How Europe Built Its Own Funeral Pyre, Then Leapt In', looks at the psychological and ideological context behind Europe's current tidal wave of immigration, as well as the potential consequences of allowing so many immigrants who are openly hostile to European culture and historic values. Spend a few minutes today at The American Conservative reading Merry's article.
In George Orwell's Animal Farm, there is a curious moment when the reader becomes aware that the animals who led the revolt against their human overlords have become the new oppressors.
Animal Farm is a uniquely human story. Even a cursory glance over the last half millennia reveals that empowerment has a strange way of enticing former liberators not merely to abandon their own principles, but to begin embodying the principles of their opponents.
We saw this happen when the "Committee of Public Safety" abandoned the principles of the French Revolution, ushering in a terror far worse than anything under the Ancien Régime. We saw it again when the Soviet State abandoned the pseudo-liberating rhetoric Marxism and turned all of Russia into a giant prison. We saw it again when the "agrarian socialism" of the Khmer Rouge found embodiment in the genocide of Pol Pot.


کاهش تولید رسوب، نیازمند اجرای برنامه‌های حفاظت خاک و کنترل رسوب در چارچوب طرح‌های آبخیزداری است. لازمه اجرای برنامه‌های حفاظت خاک و کنترل رسوب، کسب اطلاعات از اهمیت نسبی منابع رسوب و سهم آن‌ها در تولید رسوب و درنتیجه شناسایی مناطق بحرانی در داخل حوضه‌های‌آبخیز است. منشأیابی رسوب شامل دو مرحله اصلی است به‌طوری که نخست چند ردیاب تشخیص‌گر برای جدایش واضح و معنی‌دار منابع بالقوه رسوب انتخاب می‌شوند و در مرحله دوم ردیاب‌های انتخاب شده در منابع بالقوه رسوب با مقادیر متناظر آن‌ها در نمونه‌های مستخرج از رسوب اخذ شده در خروجی حوضه برای تعیین سهم منابع رسوب در تولید رسوب حوضه مورد مقایسه قرار می‌گیرند. در این پژوهش اقدام به بررسی سهم واحدهای زمین‌شناسی حوضه نوده شهرستان گناباد واقع در استان خراسان رضوی در تولید رسوب با استفاده از اندازه‌گیری عناصر ژئوشیمی، دانه‌بندی و سنگ‌شناسی به‌منظور تشخیص منابع رسوب در ۷ واحد زمین‌شناسی شد.
Reduction of sediment supply, requires the implementation of soil conservation and sediment control programs in the form of watershed management plans. A requisite for implementation of soil conservation and sediment control programs, is obtaining the information from relative importance of sediment sources and their proportion in sediment production and thus the identify critical regions within the watersheds. The sediment source ascription is involves two main steps so that in the first, several diagnostic tracers are selected for obvious and significant separation of potential sources of sediment and in the second step selected tracers for potential sources of sediment are compared, with corresponding values extracted from the sediment samples taken in the watershed outlet, to determine the proportion of sediment sources in sediment production of basin. In this research the proportion of geological units in sediment production in the nodeh-gonabad watershed located in razavi-khorasan province was investigated using the measurement of geochemistry elements, granulometry and lithology to identify of sediment sources in ۷ geological units. It should be noted that in order to select the appropriate tracers, a three-step statistical method used including elimination of enrichment and depletion factors, kruskal-wallis analysis and discriminant analysis, respectively. Then,to determine the proportion of each geological unit using SOLVER extension in Excel software attempted to minimize the sum of squared relative error. The geochemical results showed that the orbitolina-limestone geological unit with ۳۹ percent, has most of the proportion of sediment production in this area but the old alluvial terraces with ۳۶.۶۷۶ percent, assigned the most relative importance to itself which represents the instability and sensitivity of this unit to the soil erosion. But the granulometry showed that the Ed geological unit, has the most proportion in deposited sediments in the watershed outlet. Also, in the lithological method the most proportion in the reservoir sediments equal to ۴۲.۲ percent belongs to orbitolina limestone geological unit, this is while that the Ed unit with ۳۰.۶ shows the highest relative importance percentage.

Peugeot 204 — компактный (в 1960-х – среднеразмерный) переднеприводной легковой автомобиль, выпускавшийся французской компанией Peugeot с 1965 по 1976 год.

Модель Peugeot 204 с дизайном кузова, разработанным ателье Pininfarina, известная как Project D12, была доступна во нескольких типах кузова: 4-дверный седан, 2-дверный кабриолет, 3-дверное купе (купе-хетчбэк), 5-дверный универсал и 3-дверный развозной фургон.

Производство Peugeot 204 было запущено 23 апреля 1965 года на заводе Peugeot в Сошо (департамент Ду (Doubs) на востоке Франции)). Серия Peugeot 204 была самой продаваемой легковой моделью во Франции с 1969 по 1971 год, а её общий объём производства составил 1 млн 604 тысячи 296 ед., что выводит её в число самых массовых для своего времени легковых автомобилей.

Данная модель стала во многом революционной как для самой компании Peugeot, так и для западноевропейского рынка в целом: это был первый переднеприводной легковой автомобиль марки Peugeot (до этого передний привод был только у развозных фургонов Peugeot D3 и Peugeot D4 вагонной компоновки), который оснащался бензиновым верхневальным (OHC) двигателем объёмом 1127 см³ (максимально допустимый рабочий объём для налогового класса 6CV во Франции) поперечного расположения с общим масляным картером мотора и трансмиссии (до этого такая компоновочная схема применялась только на довоенном DKW F1 1931 года, Austin Seven/ Rover Mini 1959 года и Autobianchi Primula, который в сентябре 1975 года (за год до окончания производства) был заменён на более мощный объёмом 1127 см³. Данная модель также стала первым автомобилем Peugeot с дисковыми тормозами и полностью независимой подвеской всех колёс.

История
В 1968 году именно Peugeot 204 стал первым в мире (!) серийным дизельным переднеприводным легковым автомобилем, когда на него начали устанавливать первый же в мире малолитражный дизельный двигатель Indenor XLD (1255 см³, 40 л.с.), который в 1973-м заменили на более мощный дизель Indenor XL4D (1357 см³, 45 л.с.). Однако данный дизельный двигатель, конвертированный из малолитражного бензинового мотора, на ранних этапах выпуска был весьма проблемным из-за перегрева головки блока цилиндров, растрескивания основного блока цилиндров и прочих многочисленных отказов, что приводило к заменам дизеля на стандартный бензиновый двигатель в сервисной сети Peugeot.

У Peugeot 204 была специфическая система трансмиссии: коробка передач и дифференциал располагались прямо под блоком цилиндров, что было характерно некоторых для ранних переднеприводных конструкций. Кроме того, фронтальное расположение радиатора при поперечном расположении мотора привело к необходимости создания достаточно сложного ремённого привода вентилятора через два шкива (один из которых был приводом генератора переменного тока) от коленчатого вала.

The blog explains ideas as I wish they were taught. The email list shares information I wish I'd seen.
Why Start an Email List?
Email has better interaction. I can write, you can read & reply at your leisure. Social media seems noisy and non-personal — I want a conversation. (I credit Scott Young and patio11 for jump-starting the email idea).
The medium shapes the message. Blog posts are great for long-form, single-topic articles. Email favors shorter, bite-sized pieces. I found myself holding back material because it wasn't a "blog-fit" (but still valuable!).
Better sustainability. The goal of Better Explained is to be a lifelong project. Keeping in touch ensures the material stays useful and enjoyable, and that products (like the existing ebook + screencasts) dramatically increase your understanding.
I love blogging and will always write. Email is another method to get quick feedback, with blog posts to distill the final results.
I'm so thankful to have a little corner of the internet to share ideas, and I love hearing about and discussing the aha! moments that made things click. Happy to have you along for the ride.

4 Tourists We DON'T Want to Travel With
Travel Etiquette Jun 19, 2017
Sarah Schlichter
Deputy Executive Editor Sarah Schlichter's idea of a perfect trip includes spotting exotic animals, hiking through pristine landscapes, exploring new neighborhoods on foot, and soaking up as much art as she can. She often attempts to recreate recipes from her international travels after she gets home (which has twice resulted in accidental kitchen fires—no humans or animals were harmed).
Sarah joined the SmarterTravel team in 2017 after more than a decade at the helm of IndependentTraveler.com. Sarah's practical travel advice has been featured in dozens of news outlets including the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, USA Today, Budget Travel, and Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio. Follow her on Twitter @TravelEditor.
The Handy Item I Always Pack: "A journal. Even years later, reading my notes from a trip can bring back incredibly vivid memories."
Ultimate Bucket List Experience: "Road tripping and hiking through the rugged mountains of Patagonia."
Travel Motto: "'To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.'—Freya Stark"
Aisle, Window, or Middle Seat: "Aisle. I get restless on long flights and like to be able to move around without disturbing anyone else."

I usually love meeting fellow travelers. They've pointed me in the right direction when I was lost, translated for me in places where I couldn't speak the language and livened up long plane rides with fascinating conversation.
But not all my fellow travelers are such exemplary citizens. Woe be unto you if you're trapped on a train or tour with one of the four types of travel boors below. Which ones do you recognize?
The Name Dropper
This is the tourist who can't appreciate the place she's in now because she's too busy showing off where else she's been. "This temple is almost as impressive as the one we saw in Cambodia last year!"
16 Signs You're Addicted to Travel
The Royal Pain
"Does the Mediterranean salad come with iceberg lettuce or mesclun? … Mesclun? Okay, I'll have that. But with shrimp instead of chicken. No tomatoes or olives, but lots of extra cheese. Goat cheese though, not feta. Oh, and can you put the dressing on the side?" Oh, and can you say high-maintenance?
If you've ever heard someone asking a tour guide questions just so he can expound upon the guy's answers, or been subject to an unsolicited lecture on the flora and fauna of the Costa Rican rain forest, you've encountered this all-too-common travel bore — er, boor.
The Traveler Who Never Leaves Home
Oh, sure, he may have flown a couple thousand miles, but he still expects all his usual creature comforts: climate control, familiar foods ("Where's the nearest McDonald's?") and people around him who speak English, no matter where in the world he goes. Friendly hint: If you want all the comforts of home, just stay home.
