There's no doubt that emergency preparedness and first aid are incredibly complex topics. On top of that, the OSHA and ANSI guidance on these areas can be difficult to decipher and determine the best action plan for your work environment. But no matter what sort of facility you work in, first aid is an integral part of any workplace safety plan.
The fact of the matter is that injuries happen—and you're required to have the appropriate first aid supplies on-hand to deal with any incidences that need immediate attention.
From OSHA recommendations to ANSI standards, there's a lot of information out there, so it's often difficult to determine the appropriate approach to take when it comes to housing first aid supplies in your facility. We're here to help guide you in making decisions that keep your workers safe and your workplace compliant. Below, we've provided guidance on OSHA's first aid recommendations and ANSI's first aid standards, the differences between Class A and Class B kits, as well as information on a variety of first aid options and services we have available for you! We're also running a special 30% off special on all our first aid products*!
According to OSHA Regulation Standard 1910.151(a), "The employer shall ensure the ready availability of medical personnel for advice and consultation on matters of plant health." OSHA also provides "non-mandatory" recommendations that coincide with the ANSI Z308.1-2015 Standard.
Due to OSHA's Regulation being fairly broad in scope, we always recommend following the ANSI Standard to ensure full compliance. It's also worth noting that some states even require following the ANSI Standard.
Through the ANSI Z308.1-2015 standard, ANSI has established minimum performance requirements for first aid kits and their supplies. First aid kits are classified based on the assortment and quantity of first aid supplies intended to deal with most types of injuries and sudden illnesses that may be encountered in the workplace. These may include major and minor wounds, minor burns, sprains and strains, and eye injuries. As each work environment is unique, it is expected that the contents of each kit is supplemented as needed based upon the recommendations of a person competent in first aid.
Because of the intricacy of the topic of first aid, determining a first aid solution that is not only ANSI-compliant, but also best suited to your work environment can be cumbersome. Depending on the type of facility you work in, you may be required to house either Class A kits or Class B kits. Often, we find that facilities that only require a Class A kit may actually be using a Class B kit, which is an unnecessary waste of money and resources. Below, we've detailed the differences between the kits to help you determine what's best for your unique work environment.
What's the Difference Between Class A and Class B First Aid Kits?
The ANSI Z308.1-2015 Standard introduces two classes of first aid kits: Class A and Class B. The Class A kits include contents designed for the most common types of workplace injuries, while Class B kits include a broader range and quantity of supplies to deal with injuries in more complex or high-risk environments. The standard also classifies the kit container into four different types (I-IV). The assortment and quantity of supplies included in the kits were chosen based upon reviews of workplace incidents requiring first aid treatment, similar international standards, and current injury treatment practices. The quantity and size specifications given are the minimum necessary to comply with the standard.

Wisconsin Air National Guard refueling wing commander fired
The commander of the Wisconsin Air National Guard's 128th Air Refueling Wing has been relieved of his duties due to loss of confidence, the state adjutant general announced Thursday
By The Racine Journal Times | Published Mar 29, 2020 7:08 PM
The commander of the Wisconsin Air National Guard's 128th Air Refueling Wing has been relieved of his duties due to loss of confidence, the state adjutant general announced Thursday.
A press statement released by Maj. Gen. Paul E. Knapp, Wisconsin's adjutant general, said he relieved Col. James V. Lock of his duties as commander of the 128th Air Refueling Wing, which is based at Gen. Mitchell International Airport, due to "lost confidence in his ability to command."
The release stated that the decision was based on issues concerning command climate, poor judgement and alleged misconduct.
"A decision like this is never easy to make, but it is the right thing to do and is in the best interest of the organization," Knapp said. "The men and women that make up the 128th Air Refueling Wing are exceptional at what they do, and they deserve the type of leadership that will meet the unique needs and challenges of our state and federal missions."
A commander-directed investigation will further investigate the matter, the statement read.
Col. Shawn Gaffney, who currently serves as the vice wing commander at the 128th, will act as interim commander of the 128th Air Refueling Wing until a new commander is selected, the Guard stated.

HomeMicrophone ComparisonsRode NT5 vs. M5 | WHAT'S IN YOUR WALLET?
Before we dive right into the Rode NT5 vs. M5, grab a snack, sit back and relax because..
Capsule size: 1/2. What is a cardioid capsule?
Maximum SPL: 143dB. What is SPL?
A good thing to keep in mind about the NT5 is that it's sound is pretty even sounding across the frequency spectrum, with a bit of emphasis on the treble. This enables the sound to be very crisp and clean, if not a tad sibilant at times. It's nothing to freak out about though.
Great clarity in the high end.
Flat frequency response, making it easy to EQ.
The tone is crisp and clean.
A bit edgy for drums in the high frequency range, causing sibilance. What does sibilant mean?
No polarity switch or dB pad.
The matte nickel finish scratches easily.
The important thing to note is that they will sound better with brighter sources.
When recording guitar, pointed at the sound hole may not warrant the sound you're looking for. Pointing them at the neck/headstock area may be advantageous.
They come with thread adapters for euro mic stands.
They are very hard to get the mics into the holder and the holder is very hard to get out of carrying case. The holders however are very durable as stated in the Pros section.
They have a top end roll off, meaning they will capture things like cymbals and acoustic guitars without sounding thin and tinny.
The included pop screens aren't as effective as a conventional pop-filter.
There are no built in pads or attenuation switches.
The mic is very sensitive, and picks up a lot.
If you're looking for a darker sound, these may not be for you. These have that air and high end crisp. There is a presence peak in the mid-high range.
There is also a slight emphasis on the low mid range and bass frequency. It's not an over hyped sound though.
You can buy the omni capsules for the NT5, enabling omni-directional recording. Good for pianos and the like.
A versatile mic with emphasis on the treble. May be a tad bright at times.
The Rode M5 is a small diaphragm condenser microphone that works well in a pinch. A lot of people commented that it's a bit noisy and sometimes sibilant.
Pretty smooth and clear/flat frequency response.
The grill is vulnerable to damage since it extends past the edge of the body. it is also easily damaged being made of a thin aluminum or alloy.
Can be sibilant at times.
Difficult to put the mics in the mount.
The same applies as with the NT5. The Steinberg UR22 is a good match. Check out the best budget audio interface!!
The mic clips have a locking lever, enabling you to loosen them and adjust the angle.
They aren't very warm or musical according to some.
You will want to play around with mic placement with these (and the NT5's as well) to get the best sound.
Another versatile piece. A bit noisy, and can be sibilant at times as well.
Both are pretty detailed yet neutral.
The M5's mic clip has a locking lever, unlike the NT5.
The M5 is not quite as hot as the NT5 meaning they aren't going to become sibilant quite as easily. This also means that the NT5's have more detail in the treble range.
The NT5's sound signature is a bit better overall than the M5. The mid-range on the M5 is scooped, meaning they are a bit recessed or not as easily heard as the other frequencies such as the treble or bass.
They are a bit harder to EQ than the NT5's.
Both have been accused of being sibilant at times.
Neither have any dB pads or roll off switches.
The M5 is much noisier than the NT5. The NT5 has much lower self noise. The exact specs are 16dB compared to 19dB.
The NT5 is a bit warmer sounding than the M5.
I would say that if you're on a budget, go with the M5. Just know that the sound quality won't be as good as the NT5 right out of the box. You will have to do some extra EQ'ing to achieve a similar NT5 sound.
SEE THE M5 FOR YOURSELF ON AMAZON!!
If you can stretch your budget a little more, the NT5 is a great pencil condenser with a crystal clear frequency response. Just know that it does have a tendency to become sibilant at times. The noise floor is also pretty darn quiet as well, and won't require too much EQ.
SEE THE NT5 FOR YOURSELF ON AMAZON!!
Well that's about it for today my friend! I hope you've enjoyed this article on the Rode NT5 vs. M5.


Released on the 1st of January 2014 by developers NextGen, 'Merlin's Magic Respins' is actually a sequel to the wizards previous outing in NextGen's 'Merlin's Millions'. Although similar in a lot of respects to its predecessor, it remains an attractive play both visually, and with an RTP (return to player) rate of 95.32% and medium variance, in the pocket.
The game itself takes place in Merlin's workshop as the cartoony Merlin watches on as you attempt to match three or more symbols in a fixed line. The symbols you will be working with are the number ten, J, K, Q and A for the low value wins and a spell written on parchment, a telescope, a spell book and a golden cup, providing those higher wins. Other symbols you should keep an eye out for are Merlin himself as he acts as a scatter and a golden cauldron which activates bonuses.
'Merlin's Magic Respins' really excels when it comes down to its amazing range of bonus features, the first of which we'll look at is the 'Wild Respins' feature. For this to start Merlin will have to appear as a stacked wild on reels two, three and four, meaning in theory (as he is stacked) that it's quite possible for him to cover all of the positions on those reels. When he does appear, as long as you have the 'Superbet' feature enabled, the wild reel will remain in place and you will receive between one and five respins, depending on the size of your 'Superbet'.
So what even is the 'Superbet' feature I hear you ask? Well NextGen's unique Superbet feature, also appeared in 'Merlin's Millions' but is a little different from the original. Using this new pimped up version you can bet an extra amount of credit when you think you are about to achieve success (between 50 and 300 coins) and if you trigger the Wild Respins during this period as above, you will receive even more spins. There are a lovely seven free spins are available to you, if you can land three of the golden cauldron scatter symbols anywhere in reels two, three and four. The stacked wilds are also still active here and that may cause Merlin to arrive and randomly zap some symbols into wilds just for you.
Then finally, there is also the tantalizing gamble feature where after any win you can try to gamble with the amount you have won, even further by clicking the hearts/clubs 'Gamble' button situated temptingly below the reels. Now you must predict whether the next card drawn will be black or red in an attempt to double up your money. But be warned, if you're wrong you will lose all of your winnings.
Games Similar to Merlin's Magic Respins.
As the legend of King Arthur and Camelot is a very popular myth worldwide, you could imagine that there are a number of online slot games designed in a similar vein to this, with obviously the first stop being NextGen's 'Merlin's Millions' to which 'Magic Respins' acts as a follow up. Other similar games include 'Riches of Camelot' by Red Rake Gaming and 'Kings Cashalot' by Microgaming.


Forums » General Discussion » Advice from Axiom Owners » M80's: Recevier, or Recevier+amp?
#316151 - 07/22/10 09:24 PM M80's: Recevier, or Recevier+amp?
I'm looking to pickup 3-M80's as part of my home theater (fronts +center).
To drive them, I was planning on using the soon to be released Denon 4311ci with ~130w/channel.
A friend suggested that I drop back to the Denon 3311ci and add an Emotiva XPA-3 to power the fronts and let the 3311 drive the four QS8 surrounds.
What do you all think? Which is a better solution for use with the m80's?
I'll be using them for movies, but my son is a musician with musician ears so musicality will rule the day in terms what we end up purchasing. I just need it loud.
Hi Scamp! Welcome to Axiom forum! I am here to give you a great welcome to the Axiom family! Taking in consideration I am a great noob on HT matter, can't really help you. I will leave that to the pros around here. I gotta say! They are really helpful as my HT set is being setup right now, this is one thing I can say for sure!
How big is your room? Either set up you have listed should serve you well. With the Denon being 130 watts and the Emo being 200 per it's really a toss up. Denon is known to have a very robust amp section.
There have been some, not all, folks running M80s and Emo amps that have had problems. Not so with Denon and M80s.
You could actually try the 3311 WITHOUT a power amp first, then if you feel you need an external amp, go for it. Alot depends on your listening level. As Rick mentioned, there have been some problems with some Emo amps and M80s(not sure which specific amp).
I would try the Denon as is first before getting extra outboard amps. The difference between 130 watts and 200 is less than 3dB's, which is hardly noticable. Considering that the M80's are very loud at 1 watt/1 meter, you will unlikely notice any difference.
The Denon will be able to deliver in the range of 200w into 4 Ohms. As sirquack points out, that will get your M80s plenty loud with no clipping.
Hi Scamp! Welcome to Axiom forum!
It's a divided room. 22'x14 for the theater area with a half wall into a similar sized space.
You could actually try the 3311 WITHOUT a power amp first, then if you feel you need an external amp, go for it.
I'd have no idea if I need the external amp at all, assuming we are talking degrees of goodness. I have no real point of reference since all I have now are the speakers built into the old TV. Plus I need a way to decide if I'm better off with the 4311ci over the 3311. Unless of course I looked at the 4311 with the amp.
While we are on the subject, obviously there are amps with a much higher price tag than the XP-3 what do they buy? Just more power/volume?
Bragging rights. The illusion of better. A very nice car and mansion for the guy that owns the expensive amp company.
Buy the receiver with the features you need/want. With 125w the 3311 will give you all the power you ever need.
My room is a little smaller than yours 20x11 and my denon is 105W/ch. I only play at max volume when I want to show off a little or upset my neighbor and only for a short period of time. Way to loud! I would probably go with an external amp if my room would be 2 or 3 times this size. Use the $$$ from the amp to buy yourself other equipment, surrounds maybe or a sub?
Scamp, the majority of the time you will only be using 1-3 watts to play pretty loud, with brief jumps "maybe" up to 100 watts or so. I am not going to quote what JohnK says about unused headroom as I'm sure he will be along soon. The M80's are rated at 95dB's (that is very loud) "in room" using 1 watt at a 1 meter distance. So even at normal distances back from the M80's your still only going to be using a few watts most of the time.

Writing a Trilogy: Good Things Come in Threes
Learn what you need to know to plan out and write a memorable trilogy.
T L Murchison
If you're an avid reader, it's likely you have a trilogy or three sitting on your bookshelf. There is something gratifying about the number three. In the literary world, a trilogy is a powerful writing structure offering authors opportunities a standalone novel can't. For readers, the format provides the time and space to enjoy a rich story, and deeply immerse themself in a world while getting to its principle characters. For authors, trilogies provide the chance to grow a stronger connection with your audience across multiple books, and the possibility of increased sales, as fans of the first novel will likely move on to purchase the next two. In addition, fans love buying box sets. By bundling your stories into a three-book package, you have another revenue stream.
While a trilogy might take a little extra planning, the rewards can have a far-reaching impact. Check out the tips below on writing a three-part story.
Warning: This article contains spoilers as it includes examples of trilogies, and discussions of how certain plot beats fit into a trilogy structure.
What is a Trilogy?
A trilogy is three books, best done as distinct stories on their own, with character arcs, events and resolutions, which work together to create a larger saga with its own character arcs, events and resolutions that is complete and satisfying by the end of the third book.
The "satisfying conclusion at the end of the third book" is critical. A trilogy is more than a universe of interconnected books with similar characters or locations. The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams and The Saga of Recluce by L. E. Modesitt Jr are all examples of long running book series that feature characters in a universe. Writing a series is a different challenge than completing a trilogy, so check out our article on that subject if you expect your project to run beyond three books. It is possible to write a trilogy and then turn it into a series later, perhaps with a sequel trilogy, a duology (two related books), or carry on with a more episodic structure.
As a self-publishing author, there is no set story structure in a trilogy, but the most popular and successful trilogies follow a three act set up. Each book in a trilogy follows its own beat structure, while the trilogy itself contains three acts. Let's use J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy as an example.
Book One—Act One: The Set up
Starts with the hook, ends with the first key plot point.
In The Fellowship of The Rings, readers are introduced to hobbits and other creatures, and the journey begins. At the end of the book, the Fellowship is formed, and Frodo sets out on a trek to destroy the ring.
Book Two—Act Two: Confrontation
Contains the crucial midpoint, ends with the third plot point.
In The Two Towers, our two hobbits take an arduous journey, meet new character Gollum, and end up being tricked by him. At the end, Frodo is paralyzed, and all seems lost.
Book Three—Act Three: Resolution
The big finale with the climax and resolution.
In The Return of the King, Sam saves Frodo and ultimately helps him fulfill his destiny of destroying the ring
Tips for Writing a Trilogy
Do the research
Finding the balance between individual book plots and the overarching plot is a tricky task. Before starting your own trilogy, read other books or watch movies in your genre that are trilogies and study the storyline of each. These can be extremely helpful in identifying the themes and tropes you can use in your trilogy to create a cohesive tale.
A reasonable place to start with this research would be to stop by Goodreads and check out user-generated lists of trilogies. Whether you're looking for sci-fi, historical fiction, or epic fantasy books, readers have their lists of best trilogies and other book recommendations ready for you. Create your own reading list, build up that TBR (to-be-read) pile, and have fun!
Pick a scenario
A trilogy that lacks a driving force won't hold together, leaving readers bored, or upset at the lack of a satisfying ending. If you want your trilogy to captivate your readers and become the "must-read" experience they tell their best friends about, it's necessary to decide what propels the story forward. Will it be the characters themselves, or the plot they're entangled in?
Character-based Scenario
These trilogies focus on character development and follow the growth or resistance to growth of a character or group of characters.
Where character growth is the central theme, the protagonist becomes a radically different person by the end of book three. A character shift has happened, usually due to the events they've been forced to deal with, and these experiences impact the character, changing them into something new.
In the fantasy trilogy Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo, the protagonist Alina is an average teenager who doesn't quite fit in anywhere. In an attempt to cross the Shadow Fold, she discovers she is a powerful Sun Summoner, and her world changes. Alina's character shifts across the books, and by the final book her character development is complete as she understands her powers, her capabilities, and her purpose.
Where there is resistance to character growth, the lead stays static throughout the three books. They stay true to who they are and don't change, despite the events and experiences in the books.
In The Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson, Lisbeth Salander stays her same determined, anti-social, somewhat prickly but brilliant self across the journey she goes through in three books as she discovers who she is and the corrupt institutions that have tried to destroy her.
Plot-based Scenario
Here the trilogy follows the action, focusing on the unfolding of a quest or mission. These types of trilogies don't ignore character growth, but that arc sits in a secondary position to the "defeat evil and save the world" theme.
Deborah Harkness trilogy All Souls is high on plot, opening the book with a tale of witches, as one junior witch discovers a book the magical world has been searching across time and the universe to get their hands on. Ironically, in this trilogy, there is a council of (you guessed it) three that rules the magical world, and they determine how to use the book.
One thing you don't want to do in a trilogy is tell the same story twice. Characters require arcs where they change and grow. For example, in Jenny Han's popular romance book and movie trilogy To All the Boys I've Loved Before trilogy, the main character, Lara Jean, starts out as a single, young adult with a crush in book one. In book two, she has to make a choice between the crush she thought she wanted and the new opportunity presented to her. Finally, in the third book, Lara Jean moves toward adulthood and has to make a decision about what she wants for herself in life, not just in love.
Plot-based trilogies also need to mix up the goals to keep the story from feeling one-note and repetitive. If your fantasy series has an evil uncle trying to steal the throne from the main character in book one, it may not be wise to have him still acting as the central antagonist, trying to steal the throne again in book two, and yet again in book three. Perhaps the uncle is killed in book one, but his death makes him a martyr to people who share his political ideology, and now the main character has a whole bunch more angry people trying to undermine him. This setup allows for new antagonists to take center stage, and the lore to expand. In book two, those new factions succeed in usurping the throne, leaving our hero dishonored and in a dark place. In book three, he puts the villains to justice and restores balance to the kingdom.
Plant a thread
Perhaps one of the hardest parts of writing a trilogy is finding the essential series-spanning continuum upon which all three books will pull from. This thread is the core element that holds the series together rather than just having a string of inter-connected books.
In Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games, the class structure that separates the Districts is the thread that runs through the book. Breaking down the barriers between Districts and, most importantly, relieving District One of its chokehold on the others is the theme that unites the world, the characters, and the readers. In The Hunger Games, the main character Katniss defies President Snow's rules with her willingness to die rather than win the games. In Catching Fire, Katniss defies him again by banding together players to break the games. In Mocking Jay, Katniss goes on the offensive and takes on President Snow.
Plot it
Even more so than in a single book, a trilogy requires plotting. This is because you are not plotting one but four books; the three individual books and the overall story arc. Each book requires its own beats, themes and tropes.
While it's completely possible to pants a trilogy, the best ones, the famous ones, the most fulfilling ones, hit home with readers because authors have taken the time to plan, research, and develop each book within the trilogy, the individual book arcs vs the trilogy arcs and the trilogy itself.
Pacing is of utmost importance to ensure all three books keep up the tempo. Avoid the mistake of putting too much action into book one as you set up the longer arc. This can leave readers confused and wondering what all the information was about. If you have an event-packed first book, readers' expectations are now set, and book two and three will have to go above and beyond the first book. Instead control the pace, giving each major plot point to unwind while building intrigue for the next one.
It may be tempting, but try to resist ending your first or second book on a cliffhanger. Absolutely, you can tease the events of the next book, but it's important to fully resolve the conflict in each individual book. This way, readers experience the full range of emotions and get a complete journey, not just a segment of a larger tale.
Don't forget about the middle
Since writing a trilogy is like a large three act story structure, many authors get flustered with the muddy middle, the second book, which acts as a bridge between the first and third books. This can be the hardest of the three books to write.
The characters aren't new. The world isn't new. The problems aren't new. The issue authors find themselves grappling with is how to keep the tension and momentum in the second book that was introduced in the first and the fans adored. Surprise your fans. Instead of rehashing what happened in book one, push the story toward the endgame of book three by:
Moving characters to new locations
Adding new characters or
Shifting a paradigm by turning something into the reverse. Write the situation from a new perspective or location, have a good character turn evil, or, a fan favourite, bring a dead character back to life.
In the Red Queen trilogy, Victoria Aveyard amps up the tension and twists the story for book two, Glass Sword, by bringing back Shade, the main character, Mare Barrow's supposedly dead brother, who is now leader of the resistance. The introduction of this new character, previously mentioned but never seen on the page, shifts the story line from one of survival to one of resistance.
Create a satisfying ending
Don't leave the ending in book three to chance. If the ending doesn't hit the mark, release the tension of the three novels, and justify the suspense built up over the journey, readers will be upset. This is a fine line to walk, between surprising your readers enough that their jaw drops in a "that didn't just happen" way that leaves them scratching their heads and the "oh, I saw that coming a mile away" that has them reviewing the book as predictable. You want that sweet spot where all the pieces come together.
One way to do this is to echo the beginning of the book. Marie Lu's Legend Trilogy starts with Day breaking into a hospital to save his younger brother's life. In Champion, the author returns us to a hospital scene where Day is in a coma because of his heroic actions. Marie Lu provides a heartfelt ending worthy of a dystopian novel when the lead character, June, lets Day go after he wakes up with no memory of the last year, believing without her and all the grief she caused Day, he will have a better life. The author compounds this satisfying ending in an epilogue where Day bumps into June at a later date and he thinks he knows her, a scene foreshadowed in the second book, Prodigy.
While you want to keep a certain amount of consistency within the trilogy, each book can have a different mood. For example, in Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Trilogy, the first book, The Bourne Identity is an action paced spy thriller with a mystery at the center, and offers a light-hearted ending. The Bourne Supremacy keeps up the action going, but the mood darkens as the story delves into Jason's murky past. Finally, in The Bourne Ultimatum, the darkest of the books, revenge is the name of the game and the mood is bitter and sharp.
Sometimes it is about the name
Shakespeare famously wrote that a rose without a name is still a rose. But in the case of a trilogy, the naming convention you determine for your book should be purposeful and connected to the theme. However, it's critical to not give away too much in the name of the books, so as to spoil the plot for binge readers who discover your book and buy all three.
There are two names most books are known for:
The individual book names
The trilogy book name
Neal Shusterman, The Arc of Scythe Trilogy (Scythe, Thunderhead, & The Toll)
Lev Grossman, The Magicians Trilogy (The Magicians, The Magician King, The Magician's Land)
N. K. Jemisin, The Broken Earth Trilogy (The Fifth Season, The Obelisk Gate, The Stone Sky)
Jennifer Lynn Barnes, The Inheritance Games Trilogy (The Inheritance Games, The Hawthorne Legacy, The Final Gambit)
Emma Chase, The Tangled Trilogy (Tangled, Twisted, Tamed)
Alyssa Cole, Off the Grid Trilogy (Radio Silence, Signal Boost, Mixed Signals)
Publish Book One
You've planned out the series, created layered characters, and found a great name. Some authors might be tempted to write the full trilogy before publishing. While it's always a good idea to not leave readers waiting too long between books, don't be afraid to publish the first book before you've written the end of the third.
Use the first book as an opportunity to gather feedback from readers. Read reviews and talk with those that read the book to determine what works and doesn't work for the storyline. Ask them what their predictions are for the rest of the series. Take that feedback and replay it against your act structure. This gives you the chance to tweak weaker characters, fix potential plot holes and generally amp up the story.
Note: You shouldn't change something because a few readers have a negative reaction to a portion of your story. A strong response is a good response. Perhaps the character readers dislike is the surprise character in book two that will drive the action forward. Readers won't see that coming and that's good.
Trilogies are not limiting
Just because it's a trilogy, doesn't mean it can't continue. If George Luscas's Star Wars can go beyond the original three movies, so can you. Both Tahereh Mafi and Pierce Brown started with trilogies in mind. Tahereh Mafi's romance Shatter Me series told the story beyond Juliette's win over Sector 45, but didn't stop there. She's expanded into a six-book series (so far), and Pierce Brown's science fiction saga Red Rising continues the world of Darrow with another trilogy past the epic Morning Star. Will there be three trilogies of trilogies? Time will tell.
The power of three
It's hard to say why trilogies are so popular. Some attribute it to the enduring popularity of sagas like Tolkien's The Lord of The Rings, whereas others look to the power of three as a natural fit for storytelling. Every story has a beginning, a middle and an end, creating natural breaks. The number three sometimes just feels right as an author, giving us the time and word count to tell the story our way. No matter the reason, writing a trilogy gives you the option to tell a richer, deeper story for fans to read and enjoy.

«Под венком лесной ромашки», «Рыбак» — стихотворение русского поэта Сергея Есенина (1895—1925), написанное в 1911 году.

Поэтическое произведение, построенная как народная песня и как романс, стало исполняться как песня (автор музыки и исполнитель Алексей Николаевич Покровский). А так же композитор Алексей Львович Ларин (р.1954) пишет одноименное произведение для женского хора.

История создания
Датируется 1911 годом в соответствии с авторской пометой, сделанной в наборной рукописи первого-третьего томов «Собрания стихотворений», подготовленного автором в 1925 году.

Автограф был описан И. В. Евдокимовым в 1926 году; местонахождение неизвестно. Сохранилась копия, сделанная И. А. Белоусовым (хранится в Российском государственном архиве литературы и искусства). Копия сделана по новой орфографии, то есть после 1918 года.

Автограф не был датирован. По мнению А. А. Козловского, комментатора полного собрания сочинений Сергея Есенина, автограф предположительно может быть отнесён к 1914 году.

Публикации
Есенин С. А. «Под венком лесной ромашки» // Есенин С. А. Полное собрание сочинений: В 7 т. — М.: Наука; Голос, 1995—2002. Т. 1. Стихотворения. — 1995. — С. 19. Электронная публикация:	ФЭБ. Адрес ресурса:	http://feb-web.ru/feb/esenin/texts/es1/es1-019-.htm

Опубликовано в журнале «Голос жизни» (1915, № 17, 22 апреля, с. 13) вместе со стихотворениями «Тёмна ноченька, не спится…», «В хате» и «По дороге идут богомолки…». Это была первая крупная публикация Есенина в столичной печати (в том же апреле в «Новом журнале для всех» было напечатано «Зашумели над затоном тростники…», а в журнале «Задушевное слово» — «Черёмуха»). Значимость апрельской публикации возросла ещё и тем, что она появилась в сопровождении статьи З. Н. Гиппиус (напечатана под псевдонимом Роман Аренский) «Земля и камень» (Козловский 1995, с. 441).

Зинаида Гиппиус писала: «В стихах Есенина пленяет какая-то "сказанность" слов, слитость звука и значения, которая дает ощущение простоты. Если мы больше и чаще смотрим на слова (в книгах), чем слышим их звуки, — мастерство стиха приходит после долгой работы; трудно освободиться от "лишних" слов. Тут же мастерство как будто данное: никаких лишних слов нет, а просто есть те, которые есть, точные, друг друга определяющие. Важен конечно талант; но я сейчас не говорю о личном таланте; замечательно, что при таком отсутствии прямой, непосредственной связи с литературой, при такой разностильности Есенин — настоящий, современный поэт» («Голос жизни», 1915, № 17, 22 апреля, С. 12).

Сюжет
Лирический герой «напевно, легко и откровенно» (Чернова 2013, с. 103) ведёт свою историю от первого лица. Историй две: бытовая — разлука с «милашкой» (будущей невестой? — для неё обручальное кольцо, утерянное в речке), затем измена возлюбленной («у милашки новый друг»), и лирическая — венчание с речкой (самоутопление, вслед за утоплением кольца в волне).

Исследование произведения
Юношеские стихотворения Есенина, в том числе «Под венком лесной ромашки…», создавались главным образом на песенной основе. Кандидат филологических наук Е. Ю. Дрожжина особо выделяет следующие песенные импровизации, написанных традиционным частушечным размером — хореем: «Под венком лесной ромашки…» (1911), «Темна ноченька, не спится…» (1911), «Хороша была Танюша, краше не было в селе…» (1911), «Заиграй, сыграй, тальяночка, малиновы меха…» (1912), «Подражанье песне» (1910). В них исследовательница видит характерные для песенного жанра образы, мотивы, сюжетно-композиционные линии (Дрожжина 2016, С.99). З. С. М. Биджиева в стихотворениях «Подражание песне», «Под венком лесной ромашки», «Хороша была Танюша…», «Заиграй, сыграй, тальяночка…» выделяет тяготение поэта к форме и мотивам устного народного творчества, традиционно-фольклорные выражения «лиходейская разлука», как «коварная свекровь» (Биджиева 2019, С. 34).

В то же время в стихотворении, как обратила внимание Е. В. Чернова, «мелодично перекликаются фольклорные мотивы традиционных жанров (сказки, лирической песни) и голос "новой песни", … городского романса и новой баллады… Лирический сюжет стихотворения, посвященного теме любви, организуют яркие жанровые маркеры романса: мотив разлуки, измены, самоубийства… Есенин не следует слепо канону жанра, а смягчает диктуемую мотивной структурой "жестокость" романса стилистическими средствами традиционной народной поэзии, её символами и образами» (Чернова 2013, С. 103—104). Среди таких переплетений старой и новой песни: мотив «потеря кольца = потеря любви»; мотив самоубийства (там же).

Произведения Сергея Есенина


First rule, he makes sure to look in the lady's eyes when he smiles. Second, he crinkles his like Clint Eastwood. Tonight, many nights, he practices his smile in the tri-fold mirror, locks the bathroom door so his four-year-old can't get in. He thinks of that Eastwood who could swagger about with a rifle in hand, but could also touch a lady, tender, at the small of her back. Who could work rugged days, eyes creased by the sun, but also meet you with a word, warm and measured. Eastwood once said, manhood is really a quiet thing.
He meets a lady now and then. A new clerk at the burger joint, the one close enough for morning break. Or at the liquor mart, there always seems to be a different set of hands stocking his rolling paper. Then there's the drug tech. Transferred from the next county, now she's the one who measures out his wife's monthly dose of meds. Last month, when the tech turned away to retrieve the pills, he could see a scar on her cheek, a tiny furrow where a scratch once healed.
When he talks to a lady, he touches the table or the counter where she stands—as if the surface were made of hardwood oak and his fingertip traces the grains. He favors the ring finger. Of the five digits, the ring finger has the gentlest touch. Reed-like and gentle. He heard Della say that once. His wife. In her brief Mary Kay venture, advising homemakers on how to dab and daub, all with the softest of touches.
From the living room comes the sound of a sitcom laugh-track, the repeated rumbling like a hungry belly. He knows the scene well. His wife and two daughters lounge on the floor, their faces close to the TV screen, heads propped up by their hands. Della refuses to open the curtains, and she has stripped all of the bulbs from the living room lamps; he can't find where she's put them. And now, all the cigarette smoke that she's exhaled through the day—it collects, catching in the brightness of the television. A foggy-blue palette shades the room, and there, his daughters and Della lie, their heads of dark-hair dimpled with plastic curlers.
Later, when they've turned in for the night, he looks in on them sleeping—Della, the two girls—all three piled together in the twin bed. They still wear the rollers in their hair. Plastic the color of cornflowers.
As for himself, he will settle into the living room couch. The infomercials have begun, with a deal you just won't believe. He presses the mute button and lets his eyes grow heavy. Even as he drifts, he can see the light of the TV flashing quickly. It flickers along his eyelids, like sunlight through a canopy of leaves.
The next day, the pharmacy is awash with fluorescence. He allows several people to go ahead of him in line, trying to wangle a quiet meeting with the drug tech. When he reaches the counter, he smiles; he looks in her eyes, and she lets him. It's been a month— exactly thirty days—but, he thinks, couldn't she remember him?
"What was the name?" she asks.
It's the standard greeting, the line she's used for every customer so far. But maybe, given the chance, she'll remember his eyes.
The tech nods and turns away, disappearing into the rows of ordered pills.
In front of him, the counter is pure white, but he commences his tracing as if it were oak. Those furrows of the wood grains, he can almost feel them. How many rings wound around its trunk? His fingertip traces, traces. His knuckle flexes. And, glinting with each move, his gold wedding band.
"Sir?" The tech is looking at him expectantly.
She passes him a white paper sack, the pills inside shifting and rattling, and as he pays, his hand grazes her skin. Accidental, imprecise, his touch lands—was that her finger, her palm? A small and soft collision. But he can feel the kickback. It travels up his arm, into his chest.
As a boy, he used to trek with his father along the woods' edge, where the ashes and oak grow heavy. Their rifles were close at hand. The ammo inside its pack shifted and rattled.
In the long, quiet stretches when there were no bucks, sometimes a doe would whisper past, her coat flickering with the sunlight as it slanted through the canopy. He and his father just watched, and her muscles would tighten then soften, tighten then soften as she moved.
His father taught: some lines are sacred. The does were on one side, the men on the other. Most seasons, his father would say, you can't hold fast to a doe. She raises the young. She's protected. All you can do is to tip your hat to her. And his father would touch the brim of his cap. Let her slow-dance right past.
He and his father, they always brought home more mottos and ammo, than meat.
That night. Della's white paper sack delivered. The bathroom door locked. He goes through the motions. Smile again, crinkle the eyes.
Pink Mary Kay bottles, unsold, line up along bathtub ledge, and he pours a drop of lotion on his left wrist, smoothing the pale cream up his hand. When he reaches his fingers, he takes care around his ring, pays close attention to the fleshy lines at his knuckles. He works the cream into his skin until all that remains is a slight oily sheen. Then he does the right hand.
His wife dabs lotion daily. He's watched her. She stands in this spot, where he does now, and gazes into the tri-fold mirror. Dabbing at the cream, dabbing at her skin. She uses only her ring finger.
Behind the mirror, tucked away, sits a small notebook. Inside, the scribbles of her cosmetic training. He used to open the pages, hoping to find some clue to Della's state of mind. The pages stayed bare, except for the first few, where the paper is rumpled from moisture and wear.
Ring finger, she wrote in her slanted script. The ring finger – long & delicate like a reed. It is the weakest and has the gentlest touch. Try using it. You might have to try over & over. Might be hard to manage at first. Weakness allows it to be gentle. Gentle & wild – both.
In the living room, he sits on the couch, rolls several cigarettes before lighting one for himself. All through the evening, tobacco smoke trails from Della's mouth; ash falls from her fingertips. He and Della and their girls eat dinner by blue-gray light.
At midnight, the plates still lie on the rug, caked in grease, and in the silver fog, the wife and girls start gathering for good nights. There are no kisses, just the three of them filing past him. They murmur and sigh, and he lifts his hand in a sort of a wave. As with every bedtime, he watches them make their way down the hall, hair all rolled up in those matching curlers. And tonight, he smiles to himself. Just smiles. Because it looks to him that Della, his girls—atop each of their heads sits a crown made of petals. Cornflower blue. Yes, for a moment, against the darkness of the hallway, he can see those blue flowers and can see them flicker, then glow.

Home International Where We Work Egypt
World Education began working in Egypt in 1997.
Providing ongoing support to the Ministry of Education (MoE), World Education has supported the development of effective indicators for improved monitoring and evaluation, facilitated increased community participation in education, especially through capacity building and support to school boards of trustees, and provided support to the Social Work Department to create a support system for those boards. Working through USAID's Egypt Education Reform Program (ERP, 2004-2010), World Education engaged counterparts at multiple levels of government and built the capacity of the Government of Egypt's (GoE) Adult Education Authority (AEA), focusing on adult literacy.
Since 2000, World Education has assisted with decentralization efforts of the MoE, and has improved gender equality, built capacity in education evaluation, and expanded community involvement in education planning and supervision.
Through the Girls' Improved Learning Outcomes project (GILO, 2008- 2012), World Education helped increase educational enrollment and achievement of girls in schools by building the capacity of school Boards of Trustees (BoTs) and social work supervisors to provide good governance and accountability to schools. Additionally, GILO built the capacity of school leaders through targeted trainings and support. Through the project, WEI has delivered professional development training modules for over 2,000 school leaders.
The New Schools Program (NSP) (2000-2003) in Egypt increased access to and the quality of primary education for girls. This USAID-supported program focused on community mobilization, teacher training, and school construction. World Education provided capacity-building support to parent teacher council (PTC) members in 700 councils serving approximately 23,000 girls. World Education achieved up to 90% enrollment for girls in supported schools, and PTC members encouraged schools to serve as community centers, providing space for classrooms, literacy training, and life skills programs to meet the range of girls' educational needs.
Today, World Education is implementing the Literate Village program, which is strengthening women's and children's literacy. Through these programs and others, World Education has worked to improve the educational and economic lives of Egyptians.
STEM Teacher Education and School Strengthening Activity (STESSA)
World Education is institutionalizing STEM education in Egypt through teacher education and school strengthening.
Egypt Literate Village
World Education is working to increase rural mothers' abilities to contribute to their children's primary education ultimately to ensure that both mothers and children have the necessary literacy skills for continuous learning and self-improvement.
Girls' Improved Learning Outcomes (GILO)
Girls' Improved Learning Outcomes (GILO) was a three-year project that aimed to increase the educational enrollment and achievement of girls in basic, primary, and preparatory schools in Egypt.
From Literacy Classes to Learning Carnivals
For adult learners, the classroom presents challenges different from those of younger students.
Changing Attitudes Means More Girls in School

Civil rights and religious leaders on Monday called on the U.S. State Department to allow a Yemeni mother to visit her 2-year-old son who is clinging to life at an Oakland hospital.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KGO) -- Civil rights and religious leaders on Monday called on the U.S. State Department to allow a Yemeni mother to visit her 2-year-old son who is clinging to life at an Oakland hospital.
Shaima Swileh is currently in Egypt, hoping for a waiver that will let her visit her son Abdullah at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital.
Abdullah's father, Ali Hassan of Stockton, broke down in tears at a news conference held today in Sacramento as he pleaded with authorities to allow Swileh to travel to the U.S.
Swileh, however, is a Yemeni national and is unable to visit under President Donald Trump's travel ban, which applies to mostly Muslim majority nations.
The family's plight has drawn support from a wide spectrum of religious leaders and civil rights activists, who hope to put pressure on Congress and the Trump administration.
#DEVELOPING @StateDept response to case of 2 yr old #AbdullahHassan mother.
Lynn Berkley-Baskin, community outreach chair for the Jewish Community Relations Council, urged U.S. officials to grant Swileh a waiver that "will show what we say about family values is true" and to show compassion for the mother and son.
"Lack of compassion robs our country of our soul," she said.
A State Department spokesperson wouldn't address questions today about whether the agency was considering a waiver for Swileh, saying on background that details of individual cases are confidential.
"We've already asked the embassy to expedite obtaining a waiver to the ban," said Sweilem. "We've also asked for humanitarian parole for Shaima. So we're doing our diligence as fast as we can."
"All visa applications are adjudicated on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and other applicable laws. We do not discuss the details of individual visa cases. Visa records are confidential under Section 222(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The Department of State makes every effort to facilitate legitimate travel by international visitors. We are also fully committed to administering U.S. immigration law and ensuring the integrity and security of our country's borders. Applicants who are ineligible to receive a visitor visa under U.S. immigration law may apply for humanitarian parole from the Department of Homeland Security."
An online action alert by CAIR, demanding that the State Department and the U.S. Embassy Cairo reunite the family, has received more than 6,000 entries of support.
The family has been able to work with doctors at Children's Hospital to keep Abdullah on life support, at least a little longer.
"The last wish for the mother is just to see him and hold him even give him a kiss," said Ali Hassan. "That's her last wish to do."

In this episode the boys return to their roots and record a good old-fashioned home recorded show with lots of beer sampling and crude humor. Dougy Fresh, Paulie G and Jordan are joined by Security Griswold and the one and only Trey Deuce to discuss some good and not so good brews from Green Flash, Fat Heads, Volbier, Lagunitas, Bison Brewing, WarPigs and the infamous Evil Twin. We learn some interesting facts about Paulie G's Tongue, the effects of Blueberry on your throat, and even a touch of Jordan's alter ego's ancestry. This is a fun, crude old school episode that should not be missed. Tune in to reminisce about the old school days with the bad boys of blind pig confessions.


The barberry family includes around 750 species, mainly shrubs, but also some trees and some herbs. More than 500 species are assigned to the genus Berberis, many of these are found in eastern Asia, the Himalayas and the Andes regions. Barberry (Berberis) species are shrubs or small trees. The leaf margins are spiny and the twigs have thorns. Some fruits are eaten, but others are poisonous.
Several species of Berberis are cultivated as garden plants and some have become invasive outside their native range. For example, Berberis thunbergii is native to eastern Asia and has been introduced as an ornamental shrub into various regions. It has become invasive in eastern North America, competing with native plants. Berberis vulgaris is an important alternate host of Puccinia graminis, causing the cereal disease stem rust.

The attached workbook was made using Tableau Desktop 2018.3.3.
Now I like this visual but what i really want to do is to add a list of some of the "superpower" countries and display their rank year to year as the map changes.
Even though this isn't a great visual, this is the idea of what I want to do.
The next idea (since I can't do the bump chart) was to do just a simple text list as shown in "Top 12 List Superpowers" worksheet.
Here I created a list to show the ranks and sum(value) that shows the balance of payments for each year. I already hid the unwanted countries and kept the 12 I wanted.
What I want to do is to have the positions of the countries to change so that the country with Rank =1 is always on top year-to-year.
Is it possible for the paging to act as an action filter? Like could I create a separate worksheet for each year where I show the ranks of the 12 "superpowers" in a list and have the paging filter switch out the worksheet on the dashboard when it changes year?
Let's say I created a separate worksheet for all the years up to 2018 and wanted to show the animated map and a rank list on the same dashboard. Is it possible for the animated map act as a filter for which sheet is shown? Like as it goes from year to year in the animation, the associated sheet with the rank list changes?
Thank you for the very detailed explanation.
I applied the set action filter and updated some other things as well. I removed the paging playback and just let the year filter control the dashboard.
I attached the workbook so you could see if you wanted to.
Overall, I'm happy with the dashboard! Thanks again!
I didn't even think about selecting two years at a time but that brings up a great option of comparing year to year. I created a copy of the dashboard and changed up some formatting so that choosing more than one year works out better.
Is there any way to restrict the selection of years to only 2? That would be great if that's possible.
Attached is the updated workbook.

# Icon Matching with Shape Context Descriptors

This project involves using shape-context descriptors to find an arbitrary template icon in a given image. The overall algorithm has three steps: 1) edge detection, 2) clustering contours, and 3) using shape context descriptors to find the closest contour to the template icon. Shape context descriptors were introduced in this 2001 research paper by S. Belongie et al: https://papers.nips.cc/paper/1913-shape-context-a-new-descriptor-for-shape-matching-and-object-recognition.pdf and its implementation is available in OpenCV: https://docs.opencv.org/master/d8/de3/classcv_1_1ShapeContextDistanceExtractor.html. Here's an overview of the process:

Algorithm Overview

This project built and optimized the algorithm pipeline described above to achieve an icon matching algorithm that is:
- [x] scale-invariant
- [x] color-invariant
- [x] has ~95% recall/precision
- [x] takes about 1.5-2.5s on average

# Repository Overview
Here's an overview of the files in this repository. There are three main types of files of interest (in bold) which are explained in further detail in each of the sections below.

Under ```modules/```:
  - **Benchmark Pipeline**, which runs any icon matching algorithm on any dataset and outputs accuracy, latency, and memory information;
  - **Icon Matching Algorithms**, which includes our optimized implementation of the shape context descriptor algorithm that achieves ~95% recall/precision in 1-2s on average;
  - **Analysis Utilities**, which are tools used to run experiments to figure out how to optimize our shape context descriptor algorithm;

Under ```tests/```:
- Integration and Unit Tests, which test the functionalities above.

Under ```datasets/```:
- Small datasets used for integration tests. Actual datasets to validate results are much larger and not included in this repository.

# Benchmark Pipeline
## Running from the Command-Line
The end-to-end pipeline can be run from the command-line as such:
```python -m modules.benchmark_pipeline --tfrecord_path=datasets/small_single_instance_v2.tfrecord --output_path=small_single_instance.txt --multi_instance_icon=False --visualize=True --iou_threshold=0.6```.

The results (accuracy, precision, recall, latency average/median, memory average/median) will then be printed to the output txt file as well as to logging.info like so:
```
Average seconds per image: 1.439400
Median seconds of images: 1.544500

Average MiBs per image: 6.865234
Median MiBs per image: 5.380859

Accuracy: 0.935484

Precision: 0.966667

Recall: 0.966667
```
The output txt file will additionally contain latency profiling information for the icon matching algorithm. The memory calculated is the *auxiliary memory* needed by the icon matching algorithm.

Here are more details on the flags:

```
usage: benchmark_pipeline.py [-h] [--tfrecord_path TFRECORD_PATH] [--iou_threshold THRESHOLD] [--output_path OUTPUT_PATH] [--multi_instance_icon MULTI_INSTANCE_ICON] [--visualize VISUALIZE]

Run a benchmark test on find_icon algorithm.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --tfrecord_path TFRECORD_PATH
                        path to tfrecord (default: datasets/small_single_instance_v2.tfrecord)
  --iou_threshold THRESHOLD
                        iou above this threshold is considered accurate (default: 0.600000)
  --output_path OUTPUT_PATH
                        path to where output is written (default: )
  --multi_instance_icon MULTI_INSTANCE_ICON
                        whether to evaluate with multiple instances of an icon in an image (default: False)
  --visualize VISUALIZE
                        whether to visualize bounding boxes on image (default: False)
 ```

 ## Running Programmatically
When run programmatically, the benchmark pipeline can also support some additional parameters, such as a custom icon detection algorithm. Here's an example:
```
benchmark = BenchmarkPipeline(tfrecord_path="datasets/small_multi_instance_v2.tfrecord")
correctness, latency_avg_secs, memory_avg_mibs = benchmark.evaluate(icon_finder_object=
                                                                icon_finder_shape_context.IconFinderShapeContext(clusterer=clustering_algorithms.DBSCANClusterer()))
```
(Note that correctness is a dataclass from which we can extract accuracy, precision, and recall by calling ```correctness.accuracy```, ```correctness.precision```, ```correctness.recall```). Example usage of the benchmark pipeline for multi-instance cases can also be found in ```tests/integration_tests.py```.

## Modifying the Pipeline
The benchmark pipeline can be modified with these files:
- ```modules/benchmark_pipeline.py``` which has the end-to-end pipeline, including a visualization option
- ```modules/util.py``` which has tools to read in a dataset from a TfRecord file and custom Latency and Memory-tracking classes
- ```modules/defaults.py``` can be modified to change the default icon finder algorithm, IOU threshold, output path, and dataset path to run the benchmark pipeline with.

# Icon Matching Algorithms
## Usage Example
A custom icon matching algorithm can be passed into the benchmark pipeline when run programmatically (see above), or run as a standalone. Here's an example of the latter for the Shape Context descriptor-based icon matching algorithm in particular:

```bounding_boxes, __, __ = IconFinderShapeContext(clusterer=DBSCANClusterer(), desired_confidence=0.9, sc_min_num_points=90, sc_max_num_points=90, sc_distance_threshold=0.3, nms_iou_threshold=0.9).find_icons(image, icon)```
- ```clusterer``` is a clustering object from ```modules/clustering_algorithms.py```
- ```sc_min_num_points``` is the minimum desired number of points in a point set passed into the shape context descriptor algorithm (the more the number of points, the slower the algorithm will be)
- ```sc_max_num_points``` is the maximum desired number of points in a point set passed into the shape context descriptor algorithm
- ```sc_distance_threshold``` is the maximum shape context distance between an icon and image cluster for the image cluster to be under consideration (changing this is useful when we have a lot of clusters and want to quickly eliminate most of them)
- ```nms_iou_threshold``` is the maximum IOU between two preliminary bounding boxes of image clusters before the lower confidence one is discarded by non-max-suppression algorithm (changing this is useful if we have an ensemble clustering approach)

## Other Relevant Files
These are the other relevant files:
- ```modules/algorithms.py``` includes a suite of algorithms for edge detection, shape context descriptor distance calculation, precision & recall calculation
- ```modules/icon_finder.py``` is the abstract base class that the custom icon matching algorithm should inherit from.
- ```modules/icon_finder_shape_context.py``` is the optimized version of the shape context algorithm pipeline that we used to achieve our current metrics.
- ```modules/clustering_algorithms.py``` contains wrappers for Sklearn's clustering algorithms with custom defaults exposed for our use cases. These can be passed into the ```IconFinderShapeContext``` object.

# Analysis Utilities
Analysis tools are provided in the following files:
- ```modules/analysis_util.py``` contains tools to label cluster sizes, generate histograms, saving an icon/image as a pair, generate scatterplots, and scaling images/bounding boxes
- ```modules/optimizer.py``` contains an optimizer to find best hyperparameters for clustering algorithms

European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) är en branschorganisation som representerar omkring 29 000 företag inom den europeiska kemiska industrin.

1959 bildades Secrétariat International des Groupements Professionnels des Industries Chimiques des Pays de la CEE (S.I.I.C) och två år senare bildades även Conseil Européen des Féderations de l'Industrie Chimique. 1972 valde man att slå ihop de två intresseorganisationerna och bytte namn till CEFIC för att få större gehör på den internationella marknaden. Man valde 1990 att byta namn till det nuvarande namnet.

Opposition coalition's presidential candidate Ibrahim Mohamed Solih (Ibu) vowed to increase the salaries of all workers encompassing the health sector, should he win the upcoming elections.
While speaking at Velidhoo, Noonu Atoll, amidst the opposition coalition's campaign trail to the atoll, Ibu emphasized that workers in the health sector are underpaid and often overlooked.
"We haven't seen the full appreciation of workers in the health sector. They are underpaid. We will revise the payment system of the salaries for these employees and reward them with feasible pay", said Ibu.
Criticizing the system of the current government's health sector, Ibu disappointedly pointed out the misuse of the healthcare insurance scheme, 'Aasandha' and the struggles of individual patients to fund their medical treatment.
Furthermore, Ibu vowed to ensure fair access to the 'Aasandha' scheme for all civilians, as well as fair arrangement of the health scheme to private hospitals and clinics. Additionally, Ibu revealed plans to establish and develop four main, innovative hospitals throughout the Maldives.
"Maldives is in dire need for a better health system. Even in the 21st century, we only have high-development hospitals only in Male. Other areas in the Maldives should also have the advantage of state-of-art medical equipment that can supplement patients suffering from life-threatening conditions", said Ibu.
Additionally, Ibu revealed plans to establish a National Mental Health Institute in order to encourage the importance of mental wellness, in an opposition-led government.
The opposition coalition has currently exceeded a hundred campaign stops, with Velidhoo being the 109th stop.
