From the big screen to the beaten track - will you spot The Highway Rat in your local forest?
Families are invited by the Forestry Commission to escape the rat race by visiting Kielder Water & Forest Park and Hamsterley Forest to enjoy exciting new character activity trails that are launching across England.
'The Highway Rat' Activity Trails are inspired by the story of the same name by much-loved children's author and illustrator-duo Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. The activity is being brought to life thanks to a partnership between the Forestry Commission and Magic Light Pictures.
In celebration of the highly-anticipated Highway Rat animation, produced by Magic Light which premiered on BBC One as a highlight of this year's Christmas schedule, families can explore the new themed Activity Trails at Kielder and Hamsterley Forest, as well as 20 other beautiful forest locations across the UK.
Those looking for a way to 'shun the sofa' should take to the trails and try to catch a glimpse of the 'beastly and bad' star, whilst enjoying fun family activity in the great outdoors.
Visitors to the trails can explore and enjoy the world of their local woodland wildlife as they follow in the footsteps of a mischievous rodent intent on swiping the sweet treats of every creature he encounters (keep a close eye on your picnics!).
Families will also be able to pick up an exclusive highway saddle bag for just £3.00, which includes a Highway Rat mask and a series of fun activities to complete along the trail.
The Forestry Commission is encouraging families to swap city streets for forest highways, and with 99% of England's population living within an hour's drive of a forest, your nearest Highway Rat Activity Trail is probably closer than you think!
Visit England's woods and forests throughout the year for family-friendly events and activities.


Ceferino Rodriguez is looking make his first EBU European welterweight title defense this weekend against Sam Eggington in Birmingham. The Spaniard is fighting in the UK for the first time in his career against a tough challenge in Eggington.
'The Savage' is a highly touted promising boxer who in his last fight defeated the veteran Paulie Malignaggi via TKO. Eggington really stays true to his nickname. At times he can be ruthless in the ring albeit not a knockout artist but does pack punching power. He is always ready to take one to give two. Meaning he might drop his hands and eat shots just to prove a point to his opponent. On top of the iron chin, Eggington can box as well. He has a nasty right hand and can cause serious trouble against the ropes if he gets the opportunity to do so. Eggington has won via stoppage six times in his last eight bouts. He enters this fight with three straight stoppages, one via KO and two by TKO.
Rodriguez is a bit more experienced and he can be a tough nut to crack. 'Ferino' relies mostly on strong counters, such as uppercuts and hooks. He likes to stick and move a lot, especially back and forth. He does not like brawl that much and tries to stay away from brutal exchanges. If he does get into one, then he proceeds to use his best sways and ducks a lot. Rodriguez can be dropped and stopped, but the opposing fighter must apply constant pressure to do so.
If a fighter has a weak chin then Rodriguez will cause damage with his counters but strong chinned fighters, like Eggington, should be able to take the Spaniard's shots. Eggington must bully and brawl but also box to the best of his abilities to catch Rodriguez. If Eggington can walk him down against the ropes, Rodriguez is in trouble. The Spaniard will do his best to stay away from Eggington's pressure. The deciding factors will be Eggington's power, chin and grit. Also home field advantage doesn't hurt.
The pick is Eggington via technical knockout in round 9.


Religion does the same as medical therapy but often more effectively. Unfortunately some people hate religion so much they would reject it even if it would help them.
Remind me again about the Catholic man under discussion in the op. He must have been an atheist, right?
Religion does the same as medical therapy but often more effectively.
Unfortunately some people hate religion so much they would reject it even if it would help them.
Because what religion can do, other methods can often do as well. Group therapy, counseling, etc.
And where other methods can not (such as saying a loved one is in heaven (or in this instance, not)), they are of no use to atheists because they do not believe.
But to me, this is no way to comfort mourners. It is a public shaming, and why?
I always see the first function of a priest - before any other function he should have or chooses to bring on himself - to be as a teacher and communicator of the doctrines of his church and the tenets of his faith. If he is presiding over a suicide - and his church has specific teachings relevant to the subject of suicide - then I certainly think he is warranted in communicating those teachings.
This is a Catholic thing. Protestants do not believe this.
I think many of them do - but whether it is actually officially a doctrine of their faith is another question. What Catholics or protestants believe - and what their faith actually claims is true - are not always the same thing. Pretty much no Catholics I have met know half the stuff their are actually meant to believe to be catholic.
It is not limited to those two religions either though. One of the Muslims around here on this very forum once wrote that suicide is forbidden in Islam and "a person who does so" "will be punished for doing so.". He also wrote that suicide is "the last act of hatred a person makes."
If this is the hateful stuff a religion teaches then I _want_ the teachers and followers of that religion to say it openly and loudly for everyone to hear. I want them to know exactly what it is the religion they subscribe to, support and sometimes even finance - actually teaches.
It does? What evidence do you offer? And I wonder, do you yourself see a doctor, or do you let religion work it's greater effectiveness?
That's been Catholic doctrine for centuries and has only fairly recently (in the time frame of the Church)began to be modified.
Thats only because they are more concerned about possibly offending someone.
Jesus warned times would come when the faithful are hated and despised by the secular world...in order to be hated and despised, people would have to be doing or saying things that very much offends the secular world.
As much as I disagree with the way the priest handled this, I think that the Catholics do have a minor point in this particular sin being such a bad one. The reason is because it is kind of selfish and can have a negative effect on other people in his life. If a person has to resort to this it is often evidence that he has not been able to pull himself out of a depression, which is often just a psychological condition. Something that can often be easily achieved by focusing on other people who have REAL needs that he would be able to help them with, taking the focus off himself and putting his own problems in better perspective. Obviously, I'm not referring to people who might be undergoing a difficult physical condition.
I'd like to ask, have you pulled yourself out of deep depression and stopped yourself from committing suicide? Or your son or daughter?
You say suicide is "kind of selfish" but one has to understand the pain these victims of suicide live through. I watched my son go through this pain. Sure, the negative impact on those near him is profound but I do not consider him to be selfish in his act. He was going through absolute hell. The irony of it all is that there was help available, only no-one in a position to actually help him knew about it. That includes the medical profession who in some ways actually made it worse for him.
I'm sorry you found it necessary to try to explain to someone like OzzyRules who has shown so little understanding of much in this world or seems to have learned anything at all even after explanations have been given.
But perhaps some of the silent onlookers might benefit so thank you for trying.
"a study done in 1997 studied 40 alcoholics in recovery. Those who were prayed for did worse than those who were not."
Now - it IS a fact that Placebos work. In fact, there are drugs (dangerous ones!) that millions of Americans are taking that work only 5% better than sugar pills (placebo)....maybe 35% effective instead of 30%.
If I "had faith" the CBD oil was going to cure all my ills, it would likely have some effect on me.
Meditation is PROVEN to work medically. Buddhism is therefore perhaps the most accurate of the major religions...as true Buddhism is only about one thing - meditation.
Some aspects of Religion contain meditation (contemplation, focus) and other involve the feeling of community. These are, again, medically and otherwise proven to help human beings deal with the modern world and stress, etc.
I would never reject anything that would help me. But many of us have a very low threshold for BS, so even if a religion contained positive attributes we just could not sit there and do or say things that were false or proved that we were "part of a crowd or club"....that perhaps we were not sincere about.
Religion is definitely the opiate of the masses - but many don't like opiates. They want a different drug.
We are now stepping way out of religion and into the social sciences.
Obviously the Priest is FOS....at the same time, all religions have pooh-poohed suicide for historical reasons - people might get the wrong idea and end their own suffering (slaves, the poor ,etc.) and therefore society wouldn't have all the able bodies it needed for tasks, wars, etc.
But I agree with you. No one has the right to comment on the pain of depression. I had the luck (funny to call it that!) of having a major episode in my 30's that checked all the boxes. I thought I was having a heart attack but then it lasted weeks....no sleep, no joy, feeling of heart palpitations and fear.
It remains, to this day, the most pain I have ever felt. If my life was like that full time I would have to end it.
I am not dogmatically religious but one of those people who think the actual truth (the universe) is actually much MORE existing and fascination and mysterious than many religions do. In other words, I'm not a hedonist or true bohemian in the sense of me-me-me, but rather a responsible family man, employer and member of society.
I do think - after a lifetime of contemplation - that our day to day purpose has much to do with seeking pleasure and the avoidance of pain (same thing, really).
Actually, this is the main thing that kept from committing suicide back when I was first coming off heroin, I truly wanted to die, I even planned it and bought the supplies I needed to do it, but when the time came, I could not do it...something kept telling me that its foolish to put myself 'somewhere' that I know absolutely NOTHING about.
Someone also asked me "how did I know suicide would relieve the situation and make me feel better", what if I ended up 'somewhere' that was MUCH worse than what I was going thru? (cannot kill yourself more than once).

Young People Back Single-Payer Health Care, Poll Finds
Sixty-two percent of those who will be old enough to vote in the midterms rated health care a very important issue in deciding how to vote
By Juana Summers	• Published at 8:29 am on October 24, 2018
Large majorities of young Americans want to see an expansion of government services, including a single-payer health care program, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and MTV.
According to the poll, 69 percent of young Americans between the ages of 15 and 34 favor a national health plan, known as a single-payer program. Eighty-eight percent of young Democrats and 40 percent of young Republicans favor a government-run health insurance program, according to the poll. Roughly two-thirds of young independents are in favor.
Young Americans called health care a very important issue in deciding how to vote. Sixty-two percent of those who will be old enough to vote in the midterms rated it as such. That's the most who said the same of any issue in the poll, including immigration and the economy.
Thirty-three-year-old Jasmine Miller, of Detroit, said that she pays $800 a month for health insurance to cover herself and her son. Miller, who describes herself as a humanitarian, said that health care is among the issues she cares about most.
"It should be a universal standard for health care," said Miller, who prefers Democrats. "If we do have to pay deductibles, at least let our premiums be lower."
Christopher Edwards, 28, of Columbia, Missouri, said health care was among the most important issues for him as he looks ahead to the midterms.
"People sometimes get sick, and sometimes medicine is what they need," said Edwards, who described himself as a moderate Democrat.
Majorities of young Americans also favor other types of expansion of government service, including free public college and trade school. Sixty-six percent of young Americans say they support free public college tuition. Seventy-nine percent of young Democrats and 39 percent of young Republicans are in favor. Among independents, 72 percent said they supported free tuition.
Younger people typically do not turn out for midterm elections in great numbers. According to the new poll, more than half of young voters say voting in the upcoming midterms is very important, but just 32 percent of those who will be old enough say they're certain to cast a ballot.
Jannette Ramirez, 27, of Winter Haven, Florida, said she would "probably" vote in November's elections, but she was unsure how much impact her vote would have.
"I can vote all day long, every day, 30 times a day and still my opinion wouldn't matter," said Ramirez, who described herself as a political moderate.
Liberal Democrats are more excited than other young people about participating in the political process, according to the poll. Seventy-six percent said they are reading and watching news about November's elections, compared with 58 percent of young Americans overall. Similarly, 71 percent of liberal young Democrats called voting in the midterms very important, compared with 54 percent of young Americans overall.
Miller, who is a tax preparer, said that while she will absolutely vote in November's election, she's frustrated by the tone of politics today.
"It's more like a big high school argument," she said.
The AP-NORC and MTV poll of 1,052 young Americans age 15-34 was conducted Sept. 20 to Oct. 8, 2018. The poll was conducted using NORC's probability-based AmeriSpeak panel, designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 4.3 percentage points.

Sheriff David Clarke told Baltimore voters to run "far and fast" from Black Lives Matter protester DeRay Mckesson.
Mckesson's announcement of his bid for mayor of Baltimore set Clarke off.
Appearing on "Fox & Friends" Saturday, he issues a warning to Baltimore voters.
"His platform is that he want to destroy another great American city much like he did when he was down there rabble-rousing in Ferguson, Missouri," Clarke said, referencing the activists platform on ending broken windows policing and limiting police use of force.
Fox host Clayton Morris asked Clarke what being a "professional protester" means.
It's safe to say Mckesson won't be getting Sheriff Clarke's endorsement.

I saw these at a party years ago and have made them a few times to take to little girls parties along the way. They are really easy to make, they take a little time but are worth it… They look great and taste good too :-).
Draw on mouth and pupils on eyes with writing icing.
I thought it would be a good idea to add some ideas for kids party foods. These are not healthy options although I might find some healthier foods. They are more novelty foods that kids will LOVE!

Q: How to determine if a mysql binary log file is empty? In order to determine whether a database backup is needed or not, I'm trying to see whether a mysql binlog file has any data in it. (During a backup, we make a fresh binlog file and record the filename. Then later, we can check the contents of that binlog to see if anything has happened since the last backup.)
Is there any way to know when a binlog file is actually empty? Perhaps using the mysqlbinlog command?
I would check the position from SHOW MASTER STATUS, but the position seems to vary with the mysql version... is it constant within a version? My version of mysql (5.6.11) starts a new binary log at position 120.
An alternative approach would be to record the time that the binlog was created at and check to see if there were any changes made after that, but it makes me nervous relying on the speed of the backup process like that.

A: When it comes to an empty binary log, it is version specific:

*

*120 in MySQL 5.6

*107 in MySQL 5.5

*106 in MySQL 5.1

*98 in MySQL 4.1/5.0

I have discussed this many times in the DBA StackExchange

*

*Nov 19, 2014 : Question on having a MySQL 5.1 replicate from a MySQL 5.6 DB

*Jun 26, 2013 : Is it possible to convert mysql binlog from statement format to row format?

*Oct 20, 2011 : How to handle the My SQL DB Master to Master replication when there was a disk space outage

*Feb 04, 2011 : MySQL master binlog corruption

*All my posts where I discuss this
In your case, you need to run just one command
SHOW MASTER STATUS;

This tells you the current binary log mysqld is writing to and the postition. It just so happens, the log position is also the filesize.
Here is an example how to check for an empty binlog before launching a backup
MYSQL_USER=root
MYSQL_PASS=rootpassword
MYSQL_CONN="-u${MYSQL_USER} -p${MYSQL_PASS}"
#
# Find out the MySQL Version
#
SQL="SELECT VERSION()"
VERS=`mysql ${MYSQL_CONN} -ANe$"${SQL}"`
MYSQL_VERSION=`echo "${VERS}" | sed 's/\./ /g' | sed 's/ /./' | awk '{print $1}'`
case "${MYSQL_VERSION}" in
    "5.0") EMPTY_BINLOG_SIZE=98  ;;
    "5.1") EMPTY_BINLOG_SIZE=106 ;;
    "5.5") EMPTY_BINLOG_SIZE=107 ;;
    "5.6") EMPTY_BINLOG_SIZE=120 ;;
esac
#
# Get the Current Master Log's Position
#
SQL="SHOW MASTER STATUS"
LOGPOS=`mysql ${MYSQL_CONN} -ANe$"${SQL}" | awk '{print $2}'`
#
# Compare log position to an empty log size
#
OK_TO_BACKUP=0
if [ ${LOGPOS} -eq ${EMPTY_BINLOG_SIZE} ]; then OK_TO_BACKUP=1 ; fi
if [ ${OK_TO_BACKUP} -eq 1 ]; then
   ...
fi

GIVE IT A TRY !!!
SUGGESTION
If all your tables are using the InnoDB Storage Engine, you can dump the data at a point-in-time, capture the log file and position, and still allow INSERTs, UPDATEs, and DELETEs all at the same time (please do not do any DDL during the backup). When you use mysqldump with the options --single-transaction and --master-data=2, it will write the log file/position on line 23.
I just mentioned this 6 days ago : Master/Master/Slave Replication
That way, there is no need to wait for an empty binary log with no application downtime.


Brandon Jackson raises money for orphans in Honduras. Pamela Hirwa of South Africa writes poetry. McKay Hatch started a "no cussing" club at his California middle school that has expanded to include tens of thousands of people worldwide. These young members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are involved in very different activities, but they are all motivated by their faith. And now there is a redesigned website to help youth in their quest to follow Jesus Christ.
There are more than one million Mormons ages 12 to 17 who are trying to live faithful lives in a world that often does not share or even respect their beliefs and religious standards. Young Men president David L. Beck and Young Women president Elaine S. Dalton hope the revamped LDS.org youth website will provide tools and resources for youth, as well as their parents and leaders.
Sister Dalton says the same is true for young women.
The site features a variety of content, including inspirational videos showing how Latter-day Saint teenagers like Brandon, Pamela, and McKay are serving others, developing their talents and sharing their faith.
New content will be added to the website every week, including videos, articles and resources designed to help young men and women learn more about basic Church doctrines. For example, there is a page for each of the standards explained in the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet, such as dating, dress and appearance, sexual purity and media. These topic pages feature related videos, scriptures, articles and quotes from Church leaders.
Sixteen-year-old Sean Lambert of Kamas, Utah, says he is excited about all the content on the updated website.
Sean's mom, Deborah Lambert, says there are several things on the site that will help her in raising her teenage son.
Both parents and leaders will find many useful things on the site to help Mormon teenagers, Sister Dalton said.
"The website is also a wonderful resource for leaders, with links to Personal Progress and Duty to God and countless articles and videos to help them teach the doctrines and standards of the Church," she said.
Although the website is primarily focused on Mormon youth, there are several features that will appeal to people of all ages and faiths. For example, there are free music downloads from seminary videos, general conference and independent artists who donated their music. The site provides easy ways for visitors to share the content with their friends through e-mail or social media tools like Facebook and Twitter.
Sean Lambert said the resources on the site are definitely something he would share with his friends of all faiths.
An application is also available to allow mobile phone users to quickly view the videos and use the tools on the site. The site is currently available only in English but will soon be translated into 10 languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and German.


The second half of my round-up of favorite tracks, twelves, and EPs released during 2018. The UK had a ridiculous 2018 in the independent label department and this installment concludes our detailed journey through the year's release schedule before moving outwards to look at the US, the EU, and beyond. OK? OK!

Why can't Utah's prison be rebuilt in Draper?
One thing that gets state Rep. Fred Cox "ticked" is the notion that the Utah State Prison can't be rebuilt in Draper, where it currently sits.
To help the discussion, Cox, an architect with 30 years experience doing commercial site planning, has posted such an aerial photo on his blog, Fredcox4utah.blogspot.com. He proposes rebuilding in phases.
Whether he has the clout necessary to stop this political freight train, however, remains to be seen.
Relocating the state's most visible prison — one known for its army of local volunteers who provide religious counseling and other services — is among the most important, and expensive, decisions involving taxpayer money in recent memory.
And yet people who suggest the state rebuild in Draper are met with two bumper-sticker responses that don't tell the whole story. One is, "The decision to move has been made." The other is, simply, "$1.8 billion," referring to an estimate by consultant MGT of America as to how much private economic activity could be generated on that site.
When members of the Prison Relocation Commission say the decision has been made, they are referring to a 2014 legislative resolution. It said the issue had "received much attention and study." But that study included only "a very quick look" at rebuilding, as commission co-chair Sen. Jerry Stevenson said recently.
Telling the public the Legislature has made a final decision (legislative decisions never are final, which is why the state keeps holding elections) rings hollow in light of this.
Cox believes the state's first step should have been to decide what is needed in a new prison, study what it would cost and then thoroughly review the Draper site to see whether it could be applied there.
"I haven't seen anyone who's gone through this and said, 'This is what a new Draper location would look like and what it would cost,'" he said.
The second quick response, "$1.8 billion," is under reconsideration at the moment. Prison Relocation Commission co-chairman and House Majority Assistant Whip Brad Wilson has asked legislative staff to study whether it's too low. But Rep. Merrill Nelson has asked the same people to study whether it's too high.
That's an important distinction. Merely moving a business from one part of the county to another won't generate any more money for the state.
In addition, $1.8 billion has to be compared to the current size of Utah's economy, which is approaching $150 billion, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Utah's economy grew by 3.1 percent last year, which was well over $1.8 billion.
There is nothing magical about Draper. It's reasonable to believe whatever new business would go there could just as easily be attracted to Lehi or some other place in the state.
Public hearings tend to attract people who feel threatened. It's easy to dismiss the angry crowds as hyper local rabble. But an opinion poll conducted late last year by Dan Jones & Associates for Utahpolicy.com found 55 percent of people statewide opposing the move. Cox believes the majority of his constituents in West Valley City, far from any proposed site, are included in that figure.
With the governor poised to call a special session once the commission decides on a site, options for keeping the prison in Draper are dwindling, short of voting down the eventual recommendation.
Cox also is trying to repeal a law passed this year that moves the process along.
I would like a 4 page breakdown of the costs to stay to mofe and a beeakdown of the costs to stay in Draper. How many guards, staff, janitors and other employees are in Draper? I think when they are all asked to move the value of their house will go down. The cost to buy near 7200 west will go up. Some of the employees will elect not to move, and a new person will have to be trained.

Using Python and MapleSim versus Basic Science Teaching in Times of Pandemic
Abastract
In the following research work entitled Use of Python and MapleSim against the teaching of Basic Sciences in times of pandemic, due to the social immobility imposed by the government, we saw the need to use scientific software to train our students with modern approaches. The purpose is to raise the learning achievement in the subjects of Mathematics and Physics for engineering. The methodology we used was native syntax programming and graphic component programming. The results that we obtained in modeling and simulation are quite exact, with respect to the traditional results. Finally, all the material can be updated and managed at any time because it is available on maplecloud.

Much as some may complain about "attention spans these days", there is definitely merit in being able to clearly explain high school level math in under a minute. If you're looking for tips and tricks to help you understand math concepts, look no further than Justice the Tutor, whose TikTok is full of easy-to-understand videos explaining how to solve a wide variety of problems. You can check out his video on solving systems of equations here.
I think it's fair to assume that most people reading this like math, but all of us are multi-faceted individuals—so who's also into drag? Online Kyne is, and she explains tons of math concepts in a fun, engaging, and sparkly way. Check out her video on 3D plots (and her matching 3D-glasses-themed eye makeup) here!
If you're looking for more ways to have fun with math, check out Tom Rocks Math, run by the University of Oxford's Dr Tom Crawford. He rose to fame with his "Naked Mathematician" series, but even his clothed videos explain difficult math topics in ways that are clear and accessible. You can see how he tackles a complex topic like partial differentiation here.
Whether you're looking for a refresher or to learn something new, Dr Trefor Bazett's YouTube channel has everything from cool math facts to complete courses on calculus, linear algebra, and more. If you don't mind feeling called out for that one dumb mistake you made on a test once, this video on common algebra mistakes is a great resource for both students and teachers. What's more, we're excited to announce that Dr Trefor Bazett will be hosting a Maplesoft webinar where he'll be discussing how to design effective interactive learning activities! The webinar will be on June 15, and you can sign up here. This promises to be a fascinating talk and a great way to get tips from someone whose online presence exemplifies his skill at getting people to engage with math, so we hope you'll check it out.
These content creators are just the tip of the iceberg. We've also been working with Bobby Seagull, a math teacher and author, and TikTok personalities nerdynas and tamerxi, whose student-centric content is both fun and useful.

Maximal paths via breadth-first search
by: Carl Love 22414 Product: Maple 2019
graphtheory + Manage Tags
Yesterday, user @lcz , while responding as a third party to one of my Answers regarding GraphTheory, asked about breadth-first search. So, I decided to write a more-interesting example of it than the relatively simple example that was used in that Answer. I think that this is general enough to be worthy of a Post.
This application generates all maximal paths in a graph that begin with a given vertex. (I'm calling a path maximal if it cannot be extended and remain a path.) This code requires Maple 2019 or later and 1D input. This works for both directed and undirected graphs. Weights, if present. are ignored.
AllMaximalPaths:= proc(G::GRAPHLN, v)
"All maximal paths of G starting at v by breadth-first search"
option `Author: Carl Love <carl.j.love@gmail.com> 2021-Mar-17`;
uses GT= GraphTheory;
P:= [rtable([v])], R:= rtable(1..0),
VL:= GT:-Vertices(G), V:= table(VL=~ [$1..nops(VL)]),
Departures:= {op}~(GT:-Departures(G))
while nops(P) <> 0 do
P:= [
for local p in P do
local New:= Departures[V[p[-1]]] minus {seq}(p);
if New={} then R,= [seq](p); next fi;
for local u in New do
local p1:= rtable(p); p1,= u
{seq}(R)
end proc
#large example:
GT:= GraphTheory:
K9:= GT:-CompleteGraph(9):
Pa:= CodeTools:-Usage(AllMaximalPaths(K9,1)):
memory used=212.56MiB, alloc change=32.00MiB,
cpu time=937.00ms, real time=804.00ms, gc time=312.50ms
nops(Pa);
#fun example:
P:= GT:-SpecialGraphs:-PetersenGraph():
Pa:= CodeTools:-Usage(AllMaximalPaths(P,1)):
memory used=0.52MiB, alloc change=0 bytes,
cpu time=0ns, real time=3.00ms, gc time=0ns
Pa[..9]; #sample paths
{[1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 9, 8, 5], [1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 6],
[1, 2, 9, 8, 7, 3, 4, 5], [1, 2, 9, 10, 4, 3, 7, 6],
[1, 5, 8, 7, 3, 4, 10, 6], [1, 5, 8, 9, 10, 4, 3, 2],
[1, 6, 7, 3, 4, 10, 9, 2]}
Notes on the procedure:
The two dynamic data structures are
P: a list of vectors of vertices. Each vector contains a path which we'll attempt to extend.
R: a vector of lists of vertices. Each list is a maximal path to be returned.
The static data structures are
V: a table mapping vertices (which may be named) to their index numbers.
Departures: a list of sets of vertices whose kth set is the possible next vertices from vertex number k.
On each iteration of the outer loop, P is completely reconstructed because each of its entries, a path p, is either determined to be maximal or it's extended. The set New is the vertices that can be appended to the p (connected to vertex p[-1]). If New is empty, then p is maximal, and it gets moved to R.
The following code constructs an array plot of all the maximal paths in the Petersen graph. I can't post the array plot, but you can see it in the attached worksheet: BreadthFirst.mw
#Do an array plot of each path embedded in the graph:
n:= nops(Pa):
c:= 9:
plots:-display(
(PA:= rtable(
(1..ceil(n/c), 1..c),
(i,j)->
if (local k:= (i-1)*ceil(n/c) + j) > n then
plot(axes= none)
GT:-DrawGraph(
GT:-HighlightTrail(P, Pa[k], inplace= false),
stylesheet= "legacy", title= typeset(Pa[k])
titlefont= [Times, Bold, 12]
#And recast that as an animation so that I can post it:

Math exams: Maplesoft needs to take print/export...
by: erik10 656
I am a high school Teacher in Denmark, who have been using Maple since version 12, more than 12 years ago. I suggested it for my school back then and our math faculty finally decided to purchase a school license. We are still there. We have watched Maple improve in a lot of areas (function definitions, context panels, graphically etc., etc ). Often small changes makes a big difference! We have been deligted. We we are mostly interested in improvements in GUI and lower level math, and in animations and quizzes. I have also been enrolled as a beta tester for several years yet.
One of the areas, which is particually important is print and export to pdf, because Danish students have to turn in their papers/solutions at exams in pdf format! I guess the Scandinavian countries are ahead in this department. They may quite possible be behind in other areas however, but this is how it is.
Now my point: Maplesoft is lacking terrible behind when regarding screen look in comparison with print/export to pdf.
I am very frustrated, because I have been pinpointing this problem in several versions of Maple, both on Mapleprimes and in the beta groups. Some time you have corrected it, but it has always been bouncing back again and again! I have come to the opinion that you are not taking it seriously? Why?
Students may loose grades because of missing documentations (marking on graphs etc.).
I will be reporting yet another instance of this same problem. When will it stop?
Wirtinger derivatives in Maple 2021
differentiation complex-analysis physics + Manage Tags
Generally speaking, there are two contexts for differentiating complex functions with respect to complex variables. In the first context, called the classical complex analysis, the derivatives of the complex components ( abs , argument , conjugate , Im , Re , signum ) with respect to complex variables do not exist (do not satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann conditions), with the exception of when they are holomorphic functions. All computer algebra systems implement the complex components in this context, and computationally represent all of as functions of z . Then, viewed as functions of z, none of them are analytic, so differentiability becomes an issue.
In the second context, first introduced by Poincare (also called Wirtinger calculus), in brief z and its conjugate are taken as independent variables, and all the six derivatives of the complex components become computable, also with respect to . Technically speaking, Wirtinger calculus permits extending complex differentiation to non-holomorphic functions provided that they are ℝ-differentiable (i.e. differentiable functions of real and imaginary parts, taking as a mapping ).
In simpler terms, this subject is relevant because, in mathematical-physics formulations using paper and pencil, we frequently use Wirtinger calculus automatically. We take z and its conjugate as independent variables, with that , , and we compute with the operators , as partial differential operators that behave as ordinary derivatives. With that, all of , become differentiable, since they are all expressible as functions of z and .
Wirtinger derivatives were implemented in Maple 18 , years ago, in the context of the Physics package. There is a setting, , that when set to true - an that is the default value when Physics is loaded - redefines the differentiation rules turning on Wirtinger calculus. The implementation, however, was incomplete, and the subject escaped through the cracks till recently mentioned in this Mapleprimes post.
Long intro. This post is to present the completion of Wirtinger calculus in Maple, distributed for everybody using Maple 2021 within the Maplesoft Physics Updates v.929 or newer. Load Physics and set the imaginary unit to be represented by
The complex components are represented by the computer algebra functions
They can all be expressed in terms of and
The main differentiation rules in the context of Wirtinger derivatives, that is, taking and as independent variables, are
Since in this context is taken as - say - a mathematically-atomic variable (the computational representation is still the function ) we can differentiate all the complex components also with respect to
For example, consider the following algebraic expression, starting with conjugate
Differentiating this expression with respect to z and taking them as independent variables, is new, and in this example trivial
Switch to something less trivial, replace by the real part
To verify results further below, also express in terms of
New: differentiate with respect to and
Note these results (10) and (11) are expressed in terms of , not . Let's compare with the derivative of where everything is expressed in terms of z and . Take for instance the derivative with respect to z
To verify this result is mathematically equal to (10) expressed in terms of take the difference of the right-hand sides
One quick way to verify the value of expressions like this one is to replace and simplify and are real
The equivalent differentiation, this time replacing in by ; construct also the equivalent expression in terms of and for verifying results
Since these two expressions are mathematically equal, their derivatives should be too, and the derivatives of can be verified by eye since and are taken as independent variables
Eq (18) is expressed in terms of while (19) is in terms of . Comparing as done in (14)
To mention but one not so famliar case, consider the derivative of the sign of a complex number, represented in Maple by . So our testing expression is
This expression can also be rewritten in terms of and
This time differentiate with respect to ,
Here again, the differentiation of , that is expressed entirely in terms of and , can be computed by eye
Eq (25) is expressed in terms of while (26) is in terms of . Comparing as done in (14),

Maple Calculator is a free mobile app that makes it easy to enter, solve, and visualize mathematical problems from algebra, precalculus, calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations, right on your phone. Solution steps have been, by far, the most requested feature from Maple Calculator users, so we are pretty excited about being able to offer this functionality to our customers. With steps, students can use the app not just to check if their own work is correct, but to find the source of the problem if they made a mistake. They can also use the steps to learn how to approach problems they are unfamiliar with.
Steps are available in Maple Calculator for a wide variety of problems, including solving equations and systems of equations, finding limits, derivatives, and integrals, and performing matrix operations such as finding inverses and eigenvalues.
(*Spoiler alert* You may also want to keep a look-out for more step-by-step solution abilities in the next Maple release.)
If you are unfamiliar with the Maple Calculator app, you can find more information and app store links on the Maple Calculator product page. One feature in particular to note for Maple and Maple Learn users is that you can use the app to take a picture of your math and load those math expressions into Maple or Maple Learn. It makes for a fast, accurate method for entering large expressions, so even if you aren't interested in doing math on your phone, you still might find the app useful.

One more way of inverse kinematics

But this time without Draghilev's method.
Motion along straight lines can replace motion along any spatial path (with any practical precision), which means that solving the inverse problem of the manipulator's kinematics can be reduced to solving the movement along a sequential set of segments. Thus, another general method for solving the manipulator inverse problem is proposed.
An example of a three-link manipulator with 5 degrees of freedom. Its last link, like the first link, geometrically corresponds to the radius of the sphere. We calculate the coordinates of the ends of its links when passing a straight line segment. We do this in a loop for interior points of the segment using the procedure for finding real roots of polynomial systems of equations RootFinding [Isolate]. First, we "remove" two "extra" degrees of freedom by adding two equations to the system. There can be an infinite set of options for additional equations - if only they correspond to the technical capabilities of the device. In this case, two maximally easy conditions were taken: one equation corresponds to the perpendicularity of the last (third) link directly to the segment of the trajectory itself, and the second equation corresponds to the perpendicularity to the vector with coordinates <1,1,1>. As a result, we got four ways to move the manipulator for the same segment. All of these ways are selected as one of the RootFinding [Isolate] solutions (in text jj=1,2,3,4).

Introducing Maple Learn (officially)
Maple Learn is out of beta! I am pleased to announce that Maple Learn, our new online environment for teaching and learning math and solving math problems, is out of beta and is now an officially released product. Over 5000 teachers and students used Maple Learn during its public beta period, which was very helpful. Thank you to everyone who took the time to try it out and provide feedback.
We are very excited about Maple Learn, and what it can mean for math education. Educators told us that, while Maple is a great tool for doing, teaching, and learning all sorts of math, some of their students found its very power and breadth overwhelming, especially in the early years of their studies. As a result, we created Maple Learn to be a version of Maple that is specifically focused on the needs of educators and students who are teaching and learning math in high school, two year and community college, and the first two years of university.
I talked a bit about what this means in a previous post, but probably the best way to get an overview of what this means is to watch our new two minute video: Introducing Maple Learn.
Visit Maple Learn for more information and to try it out for yourself. A basic Maple Learn account is free, and always will be. If you are an instructor, please note that you may be eligible for a free Maple Learn Premium account. You can apply from the web site.
There's lots more we want to do with Maple Learn in the future, of course. Even though the beta period is over, please feel free to continue sending us your feedback and suggestions. We've love to hear from you!

Whole grains are a great source of fiber, which helps lower blood cholesterol levels.

'The Vampire Diaries' season 4 spoilers: Ian Somerhalder's Damon in New York
The Vampire Diaries March 1, 2013
On Thursday, we told you a little bit about an upcoming episode of "The Vampire Diaries" season 4 that is going to feature Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder's characters of Elena and Damon looking to get away from all of the strife of Mystic Falls by taking off to New York City; and now, we have the first photo of this episode … but it is not exactly of Damon Salvatore having a good time.
Instead, this photo actually takes us back to a much earlier time in Damon's life, and one that he was not necessarily the nicest guy in the world for anyone to hang out with. Just looking at the photo attached here is proof that he was in a darker part of his life back when he lived in New York during the 1970s, and that Lexi, long known as a protector for Stefan over many years, was forced into paying the price of some of his actions.
We don't know how much this history is going to impact what Elena and Damon are up to on the show in the present, but we have to assume that their experience there is not fully positive. After all, why would we be flashing back to this earlier time in Damon's life? The only possible explanation we can think of is that he is worried about what is happening to Elena without her humanity, and it causes him to look back on a time when he was very unhinged and did not care much about his surrounding world.
What do you think is going on in this photo? Of course, we still have always have much more "Vampire Diaries" scoop to check out, including the latest on Elena trying to deal with Jeremy's death over at the link here.

Talk: Checkup on the anti-jaywalking campaign; interview with the cops on duty at Fifth Ave. and 42nd St.; Bway at 34th; and 7th Ave. at 34th St. The policeman at 5th and 42nd said that there is no trouble except in the morning and at the noon break and evening when people would rather get killed than miss a bus. In place of an argument the cop hands a would be jaywalker a leaflet pointing out that in the first two months of this year 27 people were killed and 532 injured while crossing streets. Some of them step back and study the leaflet, others just throw it in the gutter. The cop at Bway and 34th St. has a tougher time with women pouring out of Macy's and Gimbles all day long. The policeman at 34th & 7th, said that to stop jaywalking would be like to stop bookmaking-you'd have to put a cop on every guy in town.

Edo 2020 now postponed to January 3 – 17
By Adewunmi Awoniyi on November 27, 2020 Sports
The 20th National Sports Festival, is now set to hold from January 3 to 17.
The Special Adviser on Media to the Minister of Sports and Youth Development, John Joshua-Akanji, confirmed the new date of the NSF to one of our correspondent on Thursday.
We had on Tuesday reported that the NSF had been postponed till next year, as the ministry did not get approval from the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 to hold the multi-sports competition.
But on Thursday evening, a decision was reached after a virtual meeting between the PTF, The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, that the event should hold in adherence to the COVID-19 protocols.
"There is a new date for the National Sports Festival," Joshua-Akanji told journalists.
"The event will hold from January 3-17."
One of our correspondents had gathered that some athletes were planning a protest march to the sports ministry on Monday over the shifting of the sports festival.
Athletes' representatives on the board of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria, Charles Himah said.
The shifting of the NSF to 2021 was the second time the sports ministry was shifting the fiesta after it was initially moved to December 3 to 18.
The NSF was initially billed to hold between March 22 to April 1 at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium Benin, but was postponed indefinitely due to COVID-19.
Himah said that the athletes had mobilized to gather in Abuja on Monday.
"The athletes want to protest their future. Sports have a limited age you can do it. From age 30, sports begin to look meaningless to someone if he or she has not achieved.
"We plead with the PTF for an urgent solution to avoid the athletes coming together on a peaceful protest due to the stories surrounding the NSF Edo 2020," Himah said.


Hi everyone!! How was your day? Mine was great! I went to Slovenian coast (to Piran) with my family. It was a bit cloudy, but just perfect so that the sun wasn't to hot and it didn't burn us :).
And now I have a blog to write. I did this mani yesterday evening, but didn't have the time to write the post. So I am doing it now.
I decided to swatch O.P.I – Just Lanai-ing Around. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it in the press release and I don't know why, but this dusty feeling to it caught my eye.
It is from O.P.I's spring collection Hawaii.
I used two coats to reach full opacity. It was easy to apply and there are no brush strokes visible or there isn't any streakiness present. Before it completely dried it was a little streaky, but it totally evened out once it dried.
As described on their site it is a dark, creamy mauve.It is a little darker on the nails than it is in the bottle. This isn't captured well in this photo, but in person you can tell the difference.
It also contains shimmer. It is not very visible. You can see it in this macro shot, but you have to look closely. I think the purpose of this shimmer is to give this polish dusty look, at least that's how I feel about it. It reflects the light differently and the result is this dusty look. That's my opinion, so I don't know if that is the case.
And it reminds me a lot of orchids. I don't know why, but I guess this is the colour that represents orchids in my head, if that makes any sense :).
What do you think of O.P.I – Just Lanai-ing Around?

Neighborhood Outlook: 1,400 Residents Oppose Brooks Farm Redevelopment
Great Falls Citizens Association wants to save the house on Turner Farm through the residential curatorship program. Photo by Ken Moore.
Photo by Ken Moore
Idyllic but controversial. More than 1,400 residents oppose a proposal to develop Brooks Farm off Springvale Road into 20 cluster houses. Planning and Zoning is expected to hear the proposal in a public hearing in June.
*Brooks Farm, near Springvale Road/Parkerhouse Drive
RZ 2014-DR-022
Basheer/Edgemoore-Brooks continues to fine tune its proposal to rezone a 51.9 acre property from the R-A zoning district to R-E Cluster (Residential Estate), at a density of 0.5 dwelling units/acre. The applicant now proposes to build 20 single family detached homes. Great Falls Citizens Association has held three meeting in the last five months on the proposal. Supervisor John Foust coordinated staff presentations at two Great Falls Citizens Association meetings, which have touched on environmental questions including septic, well, stormwater and tree canopy. Planning and Zoning is currently scheduled to review the application in time for a public hearing in June.
"We have not been convinced."

Great Falls Citizens Association wants to save the house on Turner Farm through the residential curatorship program. Turner Farm was saved from development by a public private partnership started in 1994 to "Save the Farm."
The Mark Turner House at 10609 Georgetown Pike, built in 1892, are the "only two surviving examples of the Queen-Anne architectural influence in Great Falls," according to the Great Falls Historical Society. John Turner (1808-1892) bought the original farm in 1869 and his grandson Mark Turner (1889-1959) purchased the 163 acres from his grandfather.
Mark Turner, first Master of the Great Falls Grange, member of the Virginia Milk Commission and Fairfax County School Board Member and Board of Supervisor, sold 11.69 acres along Springvale Road to the United States Government. In 1973, he sold 100 acres, which became the Falls Manor Subdivision, according to the Historical Society.
Great Falls Citizens Association wants to save the house at Turner Farm through the residential curatorship program, which is still being developed by the county.
The land was saved from development by a public private partnership started in 1994 to "Save the Farm."
The Observatory Park on the land off Springvale Drive is open which provides four permanently mounted telescopes. The Analemna Society partnered with the Park Authority to develop recreational and educational astronomy programs at Turner Farm, including Friday night star-gazing with summer viewing hours are sunset to 10:30 p.m.
Equestrian facilities are also available at Turner Park for general riding. Use of the facilities is free and reservations are not required, but riders do need to bring their own horses.

Flying sex pest silences the crickets
Life 21 September 2006
By Phil McKenna
What do you do when your only means of attracting members of the opposite sex also puts your life in jeopardy? For field crickets on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, shutting up seems to work.
According to a new study, rapid evolution in the Kauain population of the oceanic field cricket Teleogryllus oceanicus has rendered nine-tenths of the males there incapable of producing their iconic night-time call. The genetic mutation, which changes the shape of the male's wing to make it silent, means the crickets are better adapted to avoid a deadly parasite.
The finding dumbfounded biologist Marlene Zuk, at the University of California in Riverside, US, who first thought the dwindling population of crickets she was studying had gone extinct when she no longer heard their calls.
"If you're a cricket and you're a male, your life is defined by calling," Zuk explains. "How are you going to find a female, and once you do, how are you going to get her to mate with you without your call?"
Wingman needed
Zuk found that the quiet crickets maintained their reproductive chances by congregating near to the few remaining male crickets that are still capable of calling.
In laboratory tests involving speakers that broadcast cricket calls, males that were physically unable to call would approach as close as 1 centimetre to the speakers. In contrast, males that could make their own calls usually settled more than a metre away.
The reason, says Zuk, for such a dramatic physical and behavioural change is the small fly, Ormia ochracea. The fly uses highly sensitive ears to hone in on the male cricket's call before depositing its larvae on the cricket's back. The larvae then dig into the cricket's body where they eat their host alive in about a week.
In previous studies, Zuk noticed that the hopping insects behaved differently around the flies. Populations of crickets that lived in areas where the flies were present were more likely to wait until it was completely dark to start calling. They were also more reluctant to resume calling in laboratory tests after they had been disturbed by the simulated sound of a fly buzzing by.
Acoustic enemies
Zuk calculates that the new wing mutation first occurred on the island of Kauai sometime in the late 1990s and spread to 91% of males there by 2004.
Loss of calling has resulted in a strong reduction in mortality for the male crickets. Out of 121 males that had the non-calling mutation, only one harboured the fly larvae compared to previous infestation rates of greater than 30% in normal-winged males.
William Cade, a researcher of cricket biology at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada, says the study substantiates prior theories: "It confirms our predictions from years ago that acoustically orienting enemies, especially flies, can have a profound effect on the evolution of mating signals in crickets."
Extinction risk
Now that just 10% of males on Kauai still have normal wings and can call, what happens next open to debate. The silent flatwing crickets depend on a certain proportion of males still being able to attract females, so extinction is a possibility, says Zuk.
Another possibility, she says, is that the proportions of flatwings and normal-wings will cycle, so that the normal-wings will be at an advantage now since they get more mates, but that would mean parasite fly populations increase, which then puts the flatwings at more of an advantage, and so forth.
This kind of oscillation has been predicted for other host-parasite or predator-prey systems, but seldom demonstrated, Zuk says.

The many paradoxes of the Terminator movies has always intrigued me, as well as confused me. But thanks to the site mentioned above, I have finally started to make sense of it all. Now, some of the writer's points, I don't agree with; and some, I don't understand. However, reading his thoughts on the matter has inspired my own theory/theories about the series, and I have come to a deduction that truly makes sense to me, and might make sense to others: The entire Terminator series, from events that occurred in the movies to events that were merely mentioned, are part of two universes and/or timelines (possibly three, depending how you'd like to look at it.). Allow me to explain.
It all begins with Timeline 1, the original timeline, which is the one we don't know much of. In this timeline, John Connor was born to Sarah Connor and an unmentioned, unnamed man (possibly a deadbeat or a one night stand). John grows up without a father, with only his mother around, and grows up to be a very strong-willed young man. At some point, an unknown company (very possibly the government-ran Cyber Research Systems, CRS, that was mentioned in the third film) develops Skynet, and upon it being launched on the date of deployment (very possibly the date mentioned in the third film,and the date most people assume it happening on, July 24th, 2005), begins its nuclear war. John survives, as well as others, and that is where the future we know a bit of kicks in. John Connor becomes the great General mentioned in the films, married to his second-in-command, Catherine Brewster. One of his soldiers is Kyle Reese, a young man who grew up in the ruins of the war. After hearing so many stories about John's mother, Sarah, he's willing to go into the past to rescue her when someone is needed. In 2029, when Skynet appears to be beaten, they send one of their machines, a Terminator, 800 series variety, into the past to murder John's mother in 1984, therefore killing John before his birth. In order to save his mother, and himself, he must choose someone to go back and protect her. Kyle Reese volunteers, and follows the Terminator into the past. Their departure from 2029 and arrival in 1984 creates a divergent universe, where history up until that point has remained the same as the original timeline.
Now we have timeline 2, possibly the final timeline in my point, depending on your outlook. Kyle Reese and the Terminator arrive in 1984, in the divergent universe that they have unknowingly created. The events of the first film occur, concluding with Sarah being pregnant with John... but in this timeline, John's father is now Kyle, and Sarah knows of the future war, and is prepared to teach and prepare her son for it. Cyberdyne discovers the chip and arm of the first Terminator and presumably begin research on it. In the original timeline, John assumes that the mission was a success for Kyle because he's not dead... but in all reality, if you think of it, he would have no idea if it succeeded or not... The events of timeline 2 would have no effect on timeline 1.
Possibly a month or a few later, in timeline 1, Skynet believes it has failed and sends back another Terminator to kill John; this time, they send an advanced prototype, the T-1000, to kill John, this time in 1995, at the age of 10. Again, older John discovers this and send back a protector for himself: a reprogrammed T-800, which has physical characteristics that are identical to that of the 800 who went after Sarah.
When the two Terminators from timeline 1 arrive in timeline 2, Sarah is in a mental hospital, driven to the brink of insanity by what she knows. Miles Bennett Dyson, a developer for Cyberdyne, has being doing research, and has been attempting the creation of Skynet. At this point, Judgment Day is scheduled to happen on August 29, 1997. John is in the care of foster parents. The events of the second film occur, ending with the destruction of the T-1000, the parts of the original T-800, and the T-800 that has protected John and his mother. But one must think- if it was truly over, and Skynet was not going to happen... wouldn't the 800 simply had faded from existence after the original pieces were destroyed? The future is somewhat changed... the war has been delayed.
This is the point where you must decide on your own what you'd rather believe. If you like things nice and simple, you will prefer my first point. If you don't mind a bit of complication, like me, you might prefer my second point.
First point: In the original timeline, on July 4, 2032, Skynet realizes that it may be losing, so, in a last-ditch effort, it sends its most advanced machine, the Terminatrix, to kill John's lieutenants, including his wife, the second-in-command. Due to the fact that Skynet had no idea of John's whereabouts on the day that Skynet took control, they assign the T-X to only kill him if he can be found. They also assign her to ensure Skynet's launch. They also send a T-850 with he model 101 packaging to kill the older John. It succeeds, and despite her grief, Kate manages to reprogram the T-850 to protect herself in the past, and possibly John.
The T-X and 850 arrive in timeline 2, the events of the third film occur, with possible differences. T-X ensures Skynet's rise, the war starts on the original date. General Brewster was possibly able to create Skynet due to the fact that possibly some of Dyson's files survived destruction.
Second point: This is the complicated way. Imagine... that once the universe that held timeline 2 diverged from the one that timeline one was in, the events did not occur exactly as they did in the first film. In timeline 1, John presumably did not have the photo of Sarah to give to Kyle, therefore, Kyle did not fall in love with Sarah from afar. Perhaps Kyle and Sarah both killed the Terminator, not just Sarah. Little differences here and there. Perhaps, in following the events of the second film, the T-1000 did not "glitch", they just somehow managed to destroy him. Perhaps they were not able to get rid of the chip and arm, and maybe the war began in 1997, when John was only 12. And lastly, perhaps in the original timeline, the T-X was not sent, making it so that the events of the third film did not occur, or perhaps she came back early, in 1997, to assure that Skynet was launched, but could not find John or Kate, and the 850 was not sent. Basically, timeline 2 was completely altered from the original timeline.
However, some events of timeline 1 repeated themselves, prompting another divergent universe, timeline 3.
In 2029 of timeline 2, John assumes Reese is his father, and gives him the old, tattered photo of Sarah. With this and all he hears of her, Reese falls in love with Sarah, and volunteers to protect her in the past against the first Terminator. Kyle and the Terminator's arrivals in 1984 spring fourth timeline 3. The events of the first film occur, this time exactly.
In timeline 2, still in 2029, but months after Reese and the Terminator's departure, Skynet sends the T-1000 to 1995 to kill the 10-year-old John. Adult John sends back his reprogrammed 800 to protect his child-self, and possibly hopes that there will be a way to prevent the war. T-1000 and 800 arrive in timeline 3, and the events of the second film happen exactly.
After the events of the second film, Sarah and John go into hiding. A bit later in the year, Sarah is diagnosed with Leukemia. She lives nearly three years, barely living long enough to ensure that Skynet did not take control. The day of her death, John takes off, and begins his "off the grid"-style living. He lives this way until the early-morning hours of July 24, 2005.
In timeline 2, on July 4, 2032, Skynet sends back the T-X to fulfill her duties, and sends a T-850, a 101 model, to kill John, due to his emotional attachment to the model number. After John's death, Kate (who has still ended up as John's wife), reprograms the Terminator who killed her husband, and sends it back to save both their lives in 2005.
The T-X and 850 arrive in timeline 3, and the events of the third film happen exactly.
Those are my theories involving the three films. It's not so confusing when you think about it. Oh, and on an interesting note: dialogue in both the first and third films hints that it might be set in another universe. In the first film, Kyle asks a police officer what the date is, the officer replies with, "12th. May. Thursday." May 12th did not fall on a Thursday in 1984. In the third film, the Terminator himself says, "My presence in this timeline was anticipated." Writer's flubs, or subtle hints? You decide.

CSSF circular 22/811 | UCI administrators
Source : BSP
2 août, 2022 par
On 16 May 2022, the Commission de surveillance du secteur financier (the "CSSF") issued Circular 22/811 on the authorisation and organisation of entities acting as UCI administrators (the "Circular").
In the Circular, the CSSF repeals Chapter D of IML Circular 91/75 setting out the rules concerning the central administration of Luxembourg undertakings for collective investment ("UCIs").
The Circular applies to entities carrying out the activity (or part of the activity) of administrator of regulated or unregulated UCIs, established in Luxembourg or abroad, and determines the principles of sound governance and the requirements to be complied with by entities providing UCI administration services in terms of substance, internal organisation (including but not limited to delegation models) and reporting.
Scope of the Circular
The following entities are eligible to act as UCI administrator:
Luxembourg investment fund managers ("IFMs"), such as Management companies pursuant to chapters 15 and 16 of the law of 17 December 2010 relating to undertakings for collective investment and alternative investment fund managers;
Foreign investment fund managers ("IFM") pursuing the activity of UCI administrator for Luxembourg UCIs;
Regulated Luxembourg UCIs which, however, may only act as UCI administrator for themselves; and
Luxembourg external service providers authorised under the Law of 5 April 1993 on the financial sector as amended ("1993 Law"), such as credit institutions, registrar agents, client communication agents and administrative agents (in the latter two cases only for certain functions).
The appointment to act as UCI administrator is subject to prior authorisation by the CSSF. This can be through a complete authorisation application (under, for example the sectorial legislation applicable to a registrar agent or a client communication agent) or through a defined administrative procedure (for Management Companies, AIFMs, Foreign IFMs, regulated UCIs and Banks or Luxembourg branches of foreign banks). Annex A of the circular sets out the list of information to be provided to the CSSF to apply for authorisation to act as UCI administrator.
UCI administration activity
The Circular provides that the administration activity may be split into three main functions: the registrar function, the NAV calculation and accounting function and the client communication function. The CSSF considers only one service provider may be designated and is responsible for a specific UCI administration function. The Circular sets out globally what the UCI administration activity comprises of and then individually details the three functions referred to above.
Organisational Arrangements
The Circular sets out provisions regarding the internal organisation of the UCI administrator including in relation to the control framework, the level of resources, the need for a written contract with the UCI, rights of access for the CSSF, auditors etc.
There is a specific section regarding ICT resources, business continuity and disaster recovery planning. The CSSF recommends that UCIs and IFMs comply with the principles of circular 20/750 on the requirements regarding information and communication technology and security risk management.
The Circular clarifies that it is essential that the UCI administrator act independently from the depositary. Where performed by the same entity, functional and hierarchical separation between business lines must be implemented.
One or more tasks within UCI administration may be delegated. It is not however permitted to delegate the monitoring of such tasks or the due diligence / oversight of delegates. Adequate initial and ongoing due diligence must be performed by the UCI administrator on its delegates. There must be a written contract between the UCI administrator and each of its delegates, which must set out their respective roles, rights, obligations and responsibilities in detail. A UCI administrator that intends to delegate a critical or important operational task must notify the CSSF in advance of its plans in accordance with the instructions and, where applicable, the forms available on the CSSF's website. In general, this notification must be submitted at least three months before the planned delegation enters into effect (except when delegating to a client communication agent or an administrative agent authorised pursuant to the 1993 Law in which case the notice period is reduce to one month).
Starting on 30 June 2023, UCI administrators have to file information regarding their business activities and resources on an annual basis to the CSSF, no later than five months from the close of the UCI administrator's financial year. The list of information to be provided is set out in annex B to the Circular.
Entry into force of circular
The Circular enters into force with immediate effect. Entities already acting as UCI administrator on 16 May 2022 do not need to apply for the CSSF's authorisation to act as UCI. A grandfathering period up until 30 June 2023 is allowed for such entities to comply with the remaining provisions of the Circular.

G'schamster Diener (heute auch gschamster; manchmal kschamster; früher selten kaschamster, besonders in Ungarn und Slowakei/Mähren) ist eine österreichische Begrüßungs- wie auch  Verabschiedungsformel.

Etymologie
Die Floskel heißt auf Hochdeutsch "Ihr gehorsamster Diener". (Ihr) gehorsamster Diener war eine übliche Unterschrift im Briefwechsel des nachrevolutionären 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts (so wie das heutige hochachtungsvoll) und wurde vom sozial niedriger Gestellten verwendet, etwa zusammen mit der Anrede Hochwohlgeboren vom Bürgerlichen gegenüber dem Adeligen.

Umgangssprachlich wird daraus "g'horsamster Diener", "g'horsamster Deañer" (Oberösterreich), teilweise auch, vor allem in alter Schreibweise "ghorsamster" wie etwa .

Vereinzelt wird angenommen, dass eine Verbindung zum Jiddischen šam(m)es besteht, was "Synagogendiener, dienstbeflissener Mensch", aber auch "Liebhaber, Geliebter" bedeutet.

Verwendung
Eine frühe Erwähnung in gedruckter Form findet sich beispielsweise 1844. Manchmal wurde der "Diener" auch weggelassen, wie etwa zu Beginn des folgenden vermuteten Telefonats eines Gerichtspräsidenten in Krakau kurz nach der Jahrhundertwende:

Im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts hat es sich im Wienerischen als Höflichkeitsfloskel im Gastgewerbe erhalten, gehört zum Image eines perfekten Kaffeehaus-Obers und wurde von Hans Moser wieder populär gemacht. Meist wird es zur Begrüßung oder zur Verabschiedung gebraucht, kann aber durchaus bei passender Gelegenheit zwischendurch verwendet werden (etwa im Sinne "Sie wünschen?"). Unter alten Männern im Weinviertel war es bis in die 1950er Jahre ein häufiger Verabschiedungsgruß. Heute wird es als einfache Grußform mit humorvollem Lokalkolorit benutzt, etwa im Fiakerwesen.

Limitations in the use of growth factors to treat acute renal failure (ARF). The disappointing results of several recent clinical trials of ARF therapy reflect the fact that our understanding of its pathophysi-ology is still limited. Screening compounds using animal models may be irrelevant. Most laboratories use relatively young animals, even though ARF frequently affects older humans, whose organ regenerative capacity may be limited. In addition, our laboratory models are usually based on a single insult, whereas many of our patients suffer repeated or multiple insults. Until we gain a better understanding of the basic pathogenic mechanisms of ARF, studies in human patients are likely to be frustrating.
