The Julia programming language. As tech evolves, things get to be made better, faster, and more simplified. This goes for programming languages too. Languages have been modified to be better and this has led to the development of a number of relatively new programming languages one of which is Julia. WHAT IS JULIA? We want a language that’s open-source, with a liberal license. We want the speed of C with the dynamism of Ruby. We want a language that’s homoiconic, with true macros like Lisp, but with obvious, familiar mathematical notation like Matlab. We want something as usable for general programming as Python, as easy for statistics as R, as natural for string processing as Perl, as powerful for linear algebra as Matlab, as good at gluing programs together as the shell. Something that is dirt simple to learn yet keeps the most serious hackers happy. We want it interactive and we want it compiled. - Why We Created Julia Julia is a high-level, dynamic programming language with high performance. It is a general-purpose application used to write any application. It was created by Jeff Bezanson, Alan Edelman, Stefan Karpinski, and Viral B. Shah in MIT, 2009. The first version was released in 2012. Julia has been downloaded over 25 million times and the Julia community has registered over 5,000 Julia packages. It was influenced by a lot of languages like Python, C, MATLAB, R, Lisp, Perl, Ruby, and Lua. It is also integrated into several Integrated Development Editors (IDEs) and Code editors with the filename extension Julia was designed to increase speed in parallel computing, carry out machine learning, scientific computing, data mining, and so on. Using the JIT (Just-in-time) compiler makes the language very fast. Julia is garbage-collected, uses eager evaluation, and provides robust libraries for floating-point estimation, linear algebra, random number generation, and regular expression matching. It also comes with a full-featured interactive command-line REPL (read-eval-print loop) and has many features that can help you test snippets and debug your code. Some of the features of Julia are: - It is Open Source on GitHub. - Combination of power, simplicity, and efficiency. - Has the speed of C. - Looks like Python. - Easy for statistics like R. - Interoperability: Capability of two different programming languages to natively interact as part of the same system. - General optimally typed. - Support for Unicode, including but not limited to UTF-8. The feature I love most is that it looks like Python. Coming from a Python background, it's quite easy to learn and understand the language within a few hours. Below is a countdown function written in Julia and Python. # julia function countdown(n) if n ≤ 0 println("Blastoff!!") else println(n, " ") countdown(n - 1) end end countdown(5) # python def countdown(n): if n <= 0: print("Blastoff!!") else: print(n, " ") countdown(n - 1) countdown(5) Julia is mainly used for Scientific computing. Some non-scientific computing uses are: - Backend Development. - Data Science. - Machine Learning. - Parallel Computing. There are several opportunities that come with the use of the Julia language. Each opportunity is connected to a use case of the language and some of these include: - Machine Learning Engineer. - MLOps Engineer. - Geospatial developer. CONCLUSION/MY TAKE ON JULIA The Julia ecosystem has experienced massive growth in recent times as more developers discover about the language and its utility. Getting started with Julia is easy and communities exist ready to offer assistance. Currently, the official communities are on Slack and Discourse. I've only just begun to scratch the surface of the programming language but with only a little study and research, I've been able to gather knowledge on some excellent Julia features and opinions. It is a modern programming language that prioritizes efficiency and usability. If you're looking to try out something new, Julia is definitely worth your time.
In this series of blog, we explore the various condo management licences that will be granted under the new Condominium Management Services Act, once this legislation comes into force. In this post, we summarize the nature and requirements of the Condo Manager General Licence. This post also addresses grandfathering provisions of this new legislation. Who Can Get a Condo Manager General Licence? In a nutshell, the general licence will be granted to condo managers who : - Have a limited condo manager licence (more on these licences in our next post but for now, suffice it to say that these are opened to managers will less than 5 years of experience); - Have successfully completed the educational and examination requirements. These have not been precisely fleshed out yet, but keep reading this post as you will see equivalencies and grandfathering provisions; and, - Have at least 2 years of condo management work experience under the supervision of a supervising licensee. The required experience must include the following: - Having planned and participated in meetings of the board of directors of a condo corporation; - Having planned and participated in meetings of owners, including at least one AGM; - Having participated in preparing a budget presented to the board of directors of a condo corporation; - Having interpreted financial statements for a condominium corporation and having presented them to the board of directors; - Having prepared and presented reports to the board of directors of a condo corporation; and, - Having overseen maintenance or repairs of units, common elements or corporation’s assets. Who Will be Grandfathered? Condo managers will be exempt from these prerequisite requirements if, immediately before this new legislation comes into force: - The manager is a member in good standing of the Association of Condo Managers of Ontario as a Registered Condominium Manager; or, - The manager has successfully completed all of the following courses developed by ACMO: - Condominium Law; - Physical Building Management; - Financial Planning for Condominium Managers, and, - Condominium Administration and Human Relations. In the future, someone who has held a general condo manager licence will be able to return to the profession without having to go through the limited licensing process if less than 2 years have passed since they held their general licence. This is to allow general licensees who have left the profession for less than 2 years to return to it. Automatic Transitional General Licences Anyone who, at the time this legislation comes into force: - has acquired more than 2 years of condo management experience (within a period of five years), and - is employed as a condo managers and is providing condo management service to a client (or who was in the 3 months preceding the day the legislation came into force) will get a Transitional General Licence. This transitional licence will continue to exist for at least 150 days. This period of transition will allow existing experienced condo managers to continue to act in this capacity while they apply to get the required licence under the new legislation. The Registrar will be able to extend the transitional period if he is of the view that not doing so would cause undue hardship to the applicant. Otherwise, the transitional licence will expire. A condo manager will not be able to be on a transitional general licence for more than 3 years. Expiration of the licence The general licence of a condo manager will expire at the earliest of the following events: - the day of expiry specified on the licence (unless renewed); - the day on which the manager ceases to be employed by a licensed condo management provider (an exception exist for condo managers who are employed by less than 3 condo corporations); - the day on which the manager ceases to be employed by a condominium corporation; - the day the Registrar suspends or revokes the licence. The Province is Inviting Your Comments Please note that the information in this post is based on a draft version of the regulations proposed to be adopted pursuant to the Condominium Management Services Act. These regulations are still in draft form and subject to change. Anyone wishing to comment on the proposed regulations is invited to do so before February 6, 2017. Comments can be sent by email or by mail at 56 Wellesley Street West, 6th Floor; Toronto, ON; M7A 1C1. You should quote proposal number 16-MGCS023.
Hibernation, also known as ‘winter sleep’, is a state of deep sleep or dormancy that an animal undergoes during the cold months of winter. During this phase body metabolism and heart rate of the animal go down drastically and the animal practically sleeps for various days to months. There are some animals that do not feel the need to hibernate as they can cope winter by some other mechanism. Hibernation is commonly found in warm blooded animals. Cold blooded animals may sleep through hot dry weather, this is called estivation. Given below is a list of animals that hibernate. image by ryan Bears are a classic example of animals that undergo hibernation. Bears are found everywhere from swamps and mountains to the cold Arctic regions. Before the winter arrives, a bear hunts for an appropriate place to spend the cold months in. Once the place is found, it eats huge quantities of food and stores it in its body in the form of fat. During the months that it sleeps, the bear utilizes the stored fat till the winter is over. image by badgerhero Badgers are inhabitants of Europe, Asia and North America. They are torpors or temporary hibernators and in winters they store enough food in their burrows, so that they may wake up, eat and go back to sleep again. Badgers are omnivores, that is they eat both plants and animals. Honey badgers, one of the types of badgers are found mostly in Africa and Asia and are nocturnal animals. image by gaudete Hedgehogs are spiny mammals and are found in Europe, Africa, New Zealand and Asia. Usually, hedgehogs maintain a constant body temperature, i.e 35 degree centigrade, during summer but at the onset of winter, their temperature drops to 6 degree centigrade in order to cope with the scarcity of food. Hedgehogs go into hibernation for about 2 to 5 months with the males hibernating before the females. image by peter A hibernating hamster will curl up into a ball in the nest to conserve as much heat as possible in the abdominal region. You will be able to pick the hamster up without him knowing it, and he will not wake up on handling. But close observation will reveal the hamster’s whiskers (vibrissae) are still twitching. The hamster still has to breath when in torpor, although very very slowly this will be seen on close observation. The hamster must be aroused by slowly warming and gentle handling and stroking. After the arousal period it may be noted that hamster may be little groggy and trembling this will last only for a very short time. image by osadnik Dormice hibernate from roughly October to May, depending on local climatic conditions. They prepare a den in soft soil or hidden in a cave, and rely on fat reserves to survive through the winter. During hibernation, metabolic rate and body temperature fall dramatically, and the animal may cease breathing altogether for periods of up to an hour. 6. Prairie Dogs image by asiir Prairie dogs hibernate and have a shorter mating season, which generally lasts from January to April. After one month’s gestation, females give birth to one litter per year, an average of four hairless pups. They are born with eyes closed and use their tails as visual aids until they can see, about 40 days after birth. Weaning occurs during late May and early June, when yearlings may break away from the burrow. 7. Fat-Tailed Lemurs image by petra Recent research has shown that Fat-Tailed Lemurs hibernates, even though in the tropical winter of Madagascar, temperatures remain high. It is the first tropical primate in which hibernation has been demonstrated. However, the Malagasy winter is dry, and it appears that the lemur is avoiding the drought. Unlike animals that hibernate in temperate regions, the lemur does not control its body temperature while hibernating, and if the tree hole in which it is sleeping is not well insulated, its body temperature fluctuates in accordance with the outside temperature. image by wiki Groundhogs are one of the few species that enter into true hibernation, and often build a separate “winter burrow” for this purpose. This burrow is usually in a wooded or brushy area and is dug below the frost line and remains at a stable temperature well above freezing during the winter months. In most areas, groundhogs hibernate from October to March or April, but in more temperate areas, they may hibernate as little as 3 months. To survive the winter, they are at their maximum weight shortly before entering hibernation. They emerge from hibernation with some remaining body fat to live on until the warmer spring weather produces abundant plant materials for food. image by gilles Adult ladybirds hibernate all winter. They snuggle up in dense vegetation, under logs and sometimes become residents of your home, sleeping in door frames, folds in curtains, in sheds and outhouses. If you do find one nesting in your home, spare a thought for the good work they do around your garden and coax it gently into an aired jar and put it in your shed or some other sheltered place to finish its sleep through the winter time.

Active IQ Unified Manager Discussions I have previously worked with snapshot technology of Netapp on NFS filesystem running Oracle databases, where we snap a NFS mount and then create a clone from snapshot. However , this time we would like to use ASM on NFS.So, I have a question regarding creating a clone from snapshot. I can think of below approach for successfully mounting clone of ASM disks on NFS from snapshots. - create a snapshot of NFS mount that holds asm disks - create a clone of Snapshot - mount the clone as new filesystem - use kfed to rename asm disks in clone - use renamedg to rename asm diskgroups in clone - mount disk groups with new name - create a controlfile and recover database - open database resetlogs. Please suggest if my approach is correct or if i missed any step on process ?

# Simple example to determine entailment in propositional logic with forward chaining # Knowledge base is a list of propositional atomic sentences (identified by a string) KB = ["looks","swims","quacks"] # Rules are the other part of the KB that contain implications.

# Calculate the direction and magnitude problem 1. Feb 21, 2010 ### Cudi1 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data 3 charges are arranged in the diagram below. their magnitudes are: q1=2.510^-17C q2=3.010^-17C q3= 3.510^-17 calculate the direction and magnitude of q1 2. Relevant equations F=kq^2/r^2 3. The attempt at a solution well, i used f=kq^2/r^2, the charge of q3= (910^9)(3.510^-17)^2/(0.5)^2= 1.210^-17 q2=(910^9)(310^-17)^2/(0.50)^2= 3.2410^-17N im unable to find the angle of q1, how would i solve it really confused, i know you can use cos law but angle unknown, thank you #### Attached Files: • ###### picture..png File size: 7.9 KB Views: 91 2. Feb 21, 2010 ### Cudi1 Re: electrostatic btw , the angle from q3 to q1 is 90 deg 3. Feb 21, 2010 ### Redbelly98 Staff Emeritus Re: electrostatic I'll assume you mean the direction and magnitude of the force on q1 That equation is wrong. Instead, use F = k qa qb / r2 for the force between two charges qa and qb 4. Feb 21, 2010 ### Cudi1 Re: electrostatic sorry, i just minimized the formula since it was late, i know im suppose to use F=q1q2/r^2 ( but how do i do this, im really confused) this question , could it be resolved in components ? 5. Feb 21, 2010 ### Redbelly98 Staff Emeritus Re: electrostatic After you calculate F=kq1q2/r^2, and think about what direction that force is acting, then yes you resolve it into components. 6. Feb 21, 2010 ### Cudi1 Re: electrostatic so do i calculate the charge from q1-q3, and q1-q2 :S, sorry the question is really bothering me 7. Feb 21, 2010 ### Redbelly98 Staff Emeritus Re: electrostatic You calculate the force from q3 on q1, and the force from q2 on q1. You don't have to calculate any charge, the charge values are provided in the problem statement. The problem is to calculate force, not charge. They are two different things. Force is not charge. Force is not charge. Force is not charge. Force is not charge. 8. Feb 21, 2010 ### Cudi1 Re: electrostatic ok i think i got it, but how would you draw a diagram if the one charge was attractive, in this case all the charges are repulsive 9. Feb 21, 2010 ### Juan Pablo Re: electrostatic You're calculating the force not the charge. The force q1-q3 is: $$F = k_e \frac{q_1 q_3}{r^2}$$ The force q1-q2 similarly. $$F = k_e \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$$ You can find the angle in q1 corner using the tangent function. Now sum them like vectors and you're done. 10. Feb 21, 2010 ### Cudi1 Re: electrostatic thank you very much for the help, i'm able to get it 11. Feb 21, 2010 ### Cudi1 Re: electrostatic okay , so using the pythagorean theorem, since hypotenuse is known it would be b^2=a^2-c^2 ( then im done) :) , if that's all i thank you all for the help 12. Feb 21, 2010 ### Redbelly98 Staff Emeritus Re: electrostatic I don't really understand that last post, but if you show your work we can help tell you if it's right or wrong. 13. Feb 21, 2010 ### Cudi1 Re: electrostatic okay, the charge of 1 to charge 3 is (910^9)(3.510^-17)(2.510^-17)/(0.3)^2 = 8.7510^-23N then, charge 1 to 2 is (910^9)(310^-17)(2.510^-17)/(0.5)^2 = 2.7*10^-23 after i have these 2 charges i have to do pythogorean theroem but for the unknown side im getting a negative root ans 14. Feb 21, 2010 ### Redbelly98 Staff Emeritus Re: electrostatic Okay, we are starting to get somewhere now. But something is rather confusing. In the drawings you show in Post #1, the distance between charges 1 and 3 is not 0.3m. The distance between charges 1 and 2 is not 0.5m. But these are the distances you used in the calculations of the forces. Question: which of the two figures you showed earlier is the correct configuration of the charges? Finally, if I may politely ask you ... please stop using the word "charge" when you really mean (or should mean) "force". It indicates that you are not really paying attention to what you are doing or what we are saying. 15. Feb 21, 2010 ### Cudi1 Re: electrostatic ok , sorry about that, but im getting it a little more the correct configuration is the one to the left. the reason i drew the one to the right is to show the repulsive forces that q1 experiences. 16. Feb 21, 2010 ### Redbelly98 Staff Emeritus Re: electrostatic Okay, thanks for clearing that up. You'll need to recalculate the forces using the correct distances between the charges. 17. Feb 21, 2010 ### Cudi1 Re: electrostatic no problem, i thought i already calculated the force b/w q1 and q2, likewise i calculated the force between q1 & q3 ,would'nt i need to draw a diagram showing the repulsive forces on q1( the picture to the right) ? 18. Feb 22, 2010 ### Redbelly98 Staff Emeritus Re: electrostatic Reread my post #14, especially the part about the distances between the charges. I thought the picture to the right was incorrect? The pictures can't both be correct, since they show the charges in different arrangements. I have to say, you do need to be careful and pay more attention, otherwise there is no way I can help you out. 19. Feb 22, 2010 ### Cudi1 Re: electrostatic OH MAN, thank i completely messed up the distances
There’s an old joke about how to summarize every Jewish holiday: They tried to kill us. We overcame. Let’s eat. That’s not actually an accurate description of every holiday, but it’s pretty accurate for Hanukkah (And Passover/Pesach. And Purim.) We talk about fighting oppression, and winning by a bare thread. Then we eat some symbolic food. The particulars of the Hanukkah story are along the lines of: The Greek empire was antisemitic and banned Judaism. They tried to make all the Jews assimilate. They destroyed the Temple (in ancient times, the Israelites had a centralized worship system centered around a Temple in Jerusalem; this is no longer the case and hasn’t been for centuries) and sacrificed pigs in it to desecrate it. Then the Maccabees revolted. They won and got the Temple back. They wanted to rededicate it, and they needed to light the Temple’s light. Unfortunately, there was only enough ritually pure oil to last one day (and it takes several days to make more). They lighted the lamp anyway, and the oil miraculously lasted eight days, long enough to make more pure oil. Lighting the menorah for Hanukkah is considered a way of publicizing the miracle. Jews light one candle to symbolize each night, and another candle just to be a candle. Some people focus on the miracle as the oil lasting longer than it naturally should have. Others focus on the miracle as surviving and maintaining Jewish culture in the face of oppression. (Digression about the word “menorah”: The original meaning of the word “menorah” was a seven-branched lamp in the Temple in Jerusalem. That’s the thing the Maccabees needed to light. In Modern Hebrew, “menorah” usually just means lamp, and it never refers to the nine-branch thing Jews light on Hanukkah. The Modern Hebrew word for that is hanukiah. In English, “menorah” means the Hanukkah thing (except when people are translating the Bible or something). Some people might try to tell you that menorah is an incorrect word. They’re right in Hebrew, but wrong in English. In English, “menorah” is a correct word.) There is also a custom of eating fried foods because the miracle involved oil. Two particularly popular foods to use for this are latkes and donuts. tl;dr Hanukkah is about celebrating Jewish physical and cultural survival in the face of oppression. It’s also about an ancient miracle involving oil. Two things people do to celebrate Hanukkah are light candles and eat fried foods such as latkes and donuts.
Stumbling across a discarded pile of empty clothing is a bad thing in Fiction. After all, those clothes used to belong to somebody , and people don't just ... decide to take off and leave their clothes behind on a regular basis. (Sure, Naked People Are Funny , but let's be serious here.) Therefore, discovering a pile of uninhabited clothing is a definite clue that something ... unnatural happened to its owner. The cause may be anything (disintegration, a Shrink Ray , Baleful Polymorph , Caught Up in the Rapture etc.) but for this trope to play, an onscreen character, the audience - or both - must be less than certain about the how . The Foreshadowing goes double if the clothing is ripped, torn, or otherwise provides forensic clues about what might have happened to them. This can be considered a combination of No Body Left Behind and the inversion of Magic Pants : For example, if a character was subjected to a transformation into some kind of monster (say, a werewolf ), they may have had to rip and shred their own clothing off during the process (unless the process did this all by itself). If the owner's companions should stumble across this monster standing near an empty pile of their friend's shredded clothing, they might mistakenly assume that the monster killed the person (unaware that said monster is Compare Skeleton Crew or Smoldering Shoes , which are similar visual hints that something ominous has happened to a character. In the event that the owner was merely teleported somewhere else and is otherwise fine (sans clothing, that is), see Naked on Arrival . If the audience and characters onscreen see exactly what happens to cause a set of empty clothes, see Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing If Played for Laughs and the character is otherwise fine, it's Right Out of My Clothes Notice: As a DEATH TROPE (sometimes), there can be SPOILERS open/close all folders Anime & Manga - In Lily CAT, a flesh-absorbing virus leaves only clothing behind after it assimilates crew members on board the ship. - In Dragon Ball Z, a whole city full of empty clothes is a sure sign that Cell has been feeding. - Kirihara in Darker Than Black followed an agent she saw at the scene where she didn't expect him, and found his clothes. The next thing she saw was a chair with another set of clothes "sitting" on it, with sleeves on armpads. It was a case of perve-portation, but she didn't know this at the time. - Used in Fullmetal Alchemist when Alphonse Elric's body is destroyed when he and his brother Edward attempt human transmutation. When Edward sees Al's clothes on the floor empty he knows his little experiment has truly Gone Horribly Wrong. - In Bleach's "Turn Back the Pendulum" arc, the ninth division knows that something terrible befell the ten Soul Reapers sent to investigate a string of disappearances when they find ten loose uniforms that were removed without being untied. - In S-CRY-ed, Scheris Adjani attempts to save her love interest by using her powers, which drains her life force. It happens off screen, but when he wakes up, all he finds are her clothes. - Combined with No Body Left Behind in Ranma ½: when Saffron is absorbing everything in range during his metamorphosis, Akane tries to shut off the magical water he needs by closing the Phoenix Tap. Unfortunately, the heat-based Kinjakan, a weapon used to open the device, instantly disintegrates anything that touches it while water is running through the tap. So Akane manages to shut the tap off, Ranma screams at her to run and — after a flash of light, Akane's empty clothes flutter to the ground. It turns out that she had only been magically dehydrated into the size of a doll, and was still inside those clothes, but pretty much everyone had a Heroic BSOD until they found out they could still save her. - In SHUFFLE! Memories ep 12, practically the whole group is shrunk, one by one while on a cruise ship, leaving behind their swimsuits. This happens offscreen and the characters and audience are both left in the dark as to what has happened. The characters' version of "something ominous having happened" seems to amount to one disappeared character having sex with another. - When Tokiko was shrunk down to seven inches high in Busou Renkin, her clothes were left behind. Until she got back to normal, she wore bandages, then doll clothes. Also the first indication that Magic Pants are not a thing in this verse. - In the Chick Tract "Last Generation," this happens to the people who ascend in the Rapture. - X-Men: The Hidden Years # 1 "Once More the Savage Land": Marvel Girl is said to have passed onto the land of the dead, showing only her empty costume lying across a table. - The cover of DC Comics' Legends issue 5 has Captain Marvel standing amidst a pile of empty superhero clothes. - In one of the stories of Superman that took place during the Millennium crossover, Green Lantern Hal Jordan found empty piles of clothing left behind by the Guardians Of The Universe and the Zamarons when they were using their power to hide from the Manhunter Highmaster. - The new 52 Supergirl #23 has Supergirl infected with Kryptonite poisoning. Cyborg Superman plans to use her flesh as a building block to rebuild himself. He uses a machine that totally disintegrates Supergirl's body, 1) to scrub the poison in her system, 2) to analyze her form so he can remake his. The process leaves her empty costume crumpled in a heap on the floor. Films — Animation - Tangled: Happens to Mother Gothel at the end, as a result of Flynn finally cutting Rapunzel's hair. - Subverted in Shrek 2 : After King Harold shields Fiona from one of the Fairy Godmother's spells, his suit of armor seems to be the only thing left of him... Until he comes out of the armor, in his original frog form, and reveals the truth about that to the heroes. Films — Live-Action - In the most recent Narnia film (The Voyage of the Dawn Treader), Edmund and Caspian find Eustace's smoldering clothes and assume something terrible's happened to him. It has, though not what they expect. - Another variant in Night of the Comet. After almost everyone on Earth goes outside to look at a comet, their bodies are reduced to a red dust, leaving their clothes scattered on the ground with the dust spilling out of them. - In the film Vanishing on 7th Street, during a brief power failure, just about everyone in the city vanishes, leaving only their clothes. - In the film The H-Man, there is a radioactive blob going around absorbing people until only their clothes are left. - In the film called The Moment After, the beginning scenes show signs of the recent "rapture" event, showing piles of empty clothes littering the street and homes. - In the movie Troll 2, a girl drinks a potion from a woman pretending to help. It turns out that the woman is in league with the goblins and the potion given to the girl slowly melts her into slime. You have to look close but you can see her clothes laying in the puddle of green slime before the goblins come to eat her. - In Daddy Day Care, the guys panic when they find Tony's empty Flash costume. In homage to this trope's prevalence in science fiction, uber-nerd Marvin even worries that he's been vaporized. Turns out he just doesn't want to be Flash anymore. He wants to be Tony. - In the first movie in the Apocalypse film series, when the Rapture takes place, believers in Christ leave behind empty piles of neatly folded clothing. - When the cult leader in Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers is killed, his body disappears leaving only his clothes behind.

During the opening credits, clothes are falling at slow motion because the people are raptured. Only a few remain in the bowling alley, but piles of clothes are in the place where people once stood. - In Star Wars A New Hope, Ben Kenobi's cloak is left behind when he is struck down by Vader and becomes a Force ghost. - Used in Left Behind and other "Rapture" stories to indicate that the person in question has been taken by the Lord. Depending on the skill of the writer, this can still be pretty terrifying. - Subverted in The Rapture of Canaan. In a religious community, everyone believes that the narrator's illegitimate son is the second coming of Christ and thus figure that the Rapture is on the way. One morning, they find the leader of the community's pile of clothes lying around, leading the more extreme members to assume that the Rapture happened and they weren't taken because they'd sinned. Most of the other members assumed that their leader (who had recently had a stroke) just went crazy and ran off with no clothes on. Turns out, that's just what happened. - Used in The Time Traveler's Wife, when the title time traveler... time travels. - In one of Ellis Peters's Brother Cadfael murder mysteries, a monk who was standing an all-night vigil is found in the morning to have vanished, leaving only his clothes behind, and many of his fellow monks assume he's been bodily assumed into heaven. The truth is rather more mundane. - Averted somewhat weirdly in Stephen King's The Langoliers, where most of the passangers disappear from a plane when it crosses a time rip, and they leave behind watches, glasses, jewels, even surgical pins — but not clothes. One character lampshades this, saying: "What was taken and what was left behind [...] doesn't seem to have a lot of rhyme or reason to it." - In the Stephen King book series The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger — Little Sisters of Eluria, one of the sisters betrays the others to help Roland, The Lone Gunslinger.

She was turned into a bunch of tiny bugs by the sound of the bell. - In the book Blood Music by Greg Bear, a strange infection ravages North America that totally and complete destroys the human (in most cases almost instantly), leaving only their clothes. - In the William Essex novel Slime, the living, flesh-eating toxic waste dissolves and consumes its victims, leaving nothing but their empty clothes behind, without any blood or even any residue of itself. - Slimer by Harry Adam Knight concerns a mutated great white shark which absorbs the minds and bodies of its victims (similar to Phantoms) leaving behind just their slime-drenched empty clothing. - The Clone has an interesting variation. The titular Blob Monster is an Extreme Omnivore that absorbs both living and nonliving matter, but there are certain types of fabrics it won't eat. Nylon, for example, will get incorporated into the "clone" mass, but cotton will be rejected. Regardless, there's always some kind of empty clothes left after it gets done with someone. - Eppon the weapon in Galaxy of Fear: Army of Terror kills by turning peoples' bodies to gel and absorbing them, leaving their clothes and weapons to fall empty. Full armor and no exposed skin seems to help, but that's not its only attack. - In one of The Great Merlini short stories, breaking into the locked room reveals no gun, one shot corpse, and one unconscious nude man — all his clothing, including underwear, is laying on the ground as if he'd phased through it. The deceased was a UFO believer, but it wasn't aliens, it was an alibi. It was pretty easy to prove the now-revived nude man wasn't smuggling a gun out of the room. - The Twilight Zone - In "Long Live Walter Jameson", an immortal man gets shot and No Immortal Inertia kicks in, reducing him to a pile of dust in an otherwise empty suit on the floor, then discovered by a main character. - Star Trek: "The Omega Glory" is a subversion as the crew's uniforms weren't empty: they still had crystals (the remains of the crew's bodies) inside of them. - Star Trek: The Next Generation - In "The Best of Both Worlds", after Picard is captured by the Borg, the search party looking for him on the Borg cube initially find only his uniform in a locker. They shortly thereafter find out he's been turned into a Borg himself. - Doctor Who - In the episode "Utopia", a crewman is vaporised by Particle of the Week Radiation, leaving only his clothes behind. - In the episode "Partners in Crime", little creatures called Adipose are born from the fat of those who have been taking the enzyme used to create them. In a pinch, however, the Adipose can convert all types of cell tissue, resulting in this trope. - The X-Files episode "Agua Mala" has wet piles of clothes left behind as the only trace of victims of a water-born parasite. This is because the parasite converts the human body to water in order to further its reproductive cycle. - Stargate SG-1: - When they Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence, people in the series leave their clothes behind. - This is also what is left after an attack with the Dakara Superweapon set to destroy living matter, in season 10 episode "Conterstrike". - Charmed : In the episode "How to Make a Quilt Out of Americans", 3 elderly ladies want to regain their youth, but their spell backfires and instead of restoring their youth, the villain turns them into dust, resulting in this trope. - Parodied in Glee when Kitty punishes Dottie Kazatori. She has her Left Behind Club leave piles of clothing all over the meeting room right after Dottie leaves, and when she returns she thinks the rapture has occurred. - Happens in a Koff Beer commercial called "cinderella," where a man walks up to the bar looking confused and carrying a single shoe. He sees a beautiful woman across the bar. She runs out and he chases her. She runs down an alley about half way. For some odd reason that isn't explained, she disappears in a flash of light. Her dress falls to the pavement covering one of her shoes. He picks up the exposed one and finds himself walking up to the bar looking confused and carrying a single shoe.

It's not really explained, but the prevalent fan theory is that Jennifer is mentally censoring out the corpses that should be inhabiting them. It's a justification for the practical reason that showing dead children in a video game, a console game at any rate, is a big no-no. The game pretty masterfully avoids showing almost any of the horrible things kids go through in the story, arguably making it feel a lot worse than if they just said and showed things straight up. - In the game Missing on Lost Island you and your girlfriend are attacked by goons. During the fight your girlfriend is shot by a strange ray gun and vanishes leaving only her clothes. Soon after, you are also shot with the same gun. - Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy: invoked in one of the mysteries of the game. In the village of Hoogland, young girls are regularly "wed", or rather sacrificed, to a wind deity so as to calm its wrath down and ease the winds and tornadoes that plague the village. The girls are said to transform into a breeze upon their sacrifice, as evidenced by their empty clothes being left in the sacrificial chapel. It's actually a hoax pulled off by the women of the village: by going through a secret passage, they are able to save the girls before they are actually sacrificed. They behind their clothes to fool the men into thinking the deity accepted the sacrifice. - In this text-based game The Forgotten Nightmare there are piles of empty clothing in various places in the game. The disappeared people seem to be in various stages of activity. The mystery is even more creepy because there are many people still present and walking around. It becomes apparent that the people have been taken in the Rapture. The Protagonist was left behind, and events from the book of Revelation seem to be happening... - In the American Dad! Christmas episode "For Whom the Sleigh Bell Tolls", the Smiths dig up Santa's corpse to find that Santa's body has vanished, leaving the iconic Santa outfit behind. Turns out he was magically transported to the North Pole to regenerate. - In SpongeBob SquarePants, Spongebob ends up leaving his clothes behind on a plant when hiding, and Sandy thinks that he's gone missing ("Spongebob always folds his clothes nearly before running around in the nude!"). Naturally, when she gets the town to look for him, Hilarity Ensues. - Discussed in Cyberchase. An early episode had the Cybersquad go to a cybersite where everything was scaled ten times bigger than them. At first they believe they had shrunk, but Inez says this trope would have happened if they really shrank. - Happens to the clothes of the other members of the gang. in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated when Fred appears to have ended up in a Bad Future. It's part of the fake movie set set up by his parents. - When Harold Camping declared that the Rapture would happen on the 21 of May 2011, a project on 4chan encouraged posters to get up early and lay out empty piles of clothes (and/or Smoldering Shoes) to freak people out.
Instruction 1 In mathematical analysis there is the concept of limits of sequences and functions. When you want to find the limit of a sequence, write it down in the following way: lim xn=a. In this sequence, the sequence xn tends to a, as n approaches infinity. The sequence is usually represented in the form of a number, for example: x1, x2, x3...,xm,...,xn... . Sequences are divided into ascending and descending. For example: xn=n^2 is an increasing sequence of yn=1/n is decreasing sequence For example, the limit of the sequence xn=1/n^2 is equal to: lim 1/n^2=0 x→∞ This limit is equal to zero, as n→∞, and the sequence 1/n^2 tends to zero. 2 Typically, a variable x tends to a finite limit a, and x continually approaches a and the value of a constant. Write it down as follows: limx =a, thus, n can also strive both to zero and to infinity. There are endless options, they limit tends to infinity. In other cases, for example, when a function describes a slowing down of the train, you can talk about the limit tends to zero. Have limits there are a number of properties. As a rule, any function has only one limit. This is the main property of the limit. Other properties thereof are listed below: * The limit of the sum is equal to the sum of the limits: lim(x+y)=lim x+lim y * The limit of a product is the product of the limits: lim(xy)=lim xlim y Limit the private equal to the quotient of: lim(x/y)=lim x/lim y * Constant multiplier take out the limit sign: lim(Cx)=C lim x If given the function 1 /x where x →∞, its limit is zero. If x→0, the limit of such function is equal to ∞. For trigonometric functions, there are exceptions to these rules. Since the function sin x is always close to one when approaches zero, for her true identity: lim sin x/x=1 x→0 3 In some tasks there are functions in the calculation of limits where there is uncertainty - a situation where the limit cannot be calculated. The only way out of this situation is the use of l'hospital's rule. There are two types of uncertainties: * the uncertainty of 0/0 * the uncertainty of the form ∞/∞ For example, given the following limit: lim f(x)/l(x), and f(x0)=l(x0)=0. In this case, there is the uncertainty of 0/0. To solve this problem, both the function subjected to differentiation, and then find the limit of the result. Uncertainties of the kind 0/0, the limit is equal to: lim f(x)/l(x)=lim f'(x)/l'(x) (with x→0) The same is true for the indeterminate of type ∞/∞. But in this case, fairly following equality: f(x)=l(x)=∞ Using l'hospital's rule it is possible to find values for any limits, which involve uncertainty. A necessary condition for Tom - no errors in finding the derivatives. For example, the derivative of the function (x^2)' is equal to 2x. From this we can conclude that: f'(x)=nx^(n-1)
Vladimir Galvita is an associate professor at the LCT. His main research interests have focused on the understanding of the fundamental relationships between the structure and composition of heterogeneous catalysts and their performance. Vladimir Galvita studies reaction mechanisms in order to identify factors limiting the activity and selectivity of catalysts. The objectives of his research are pursued through a combination of experimental methods. Spectroscopic techniques, including IR, Raman, UV-Visible, and EXAFS, are used to characterize catalyst structure and adsorbed species under actual conditions of catalysis. Transient kinetics, isotopic tracers and temperature-programmed desorption and reaction techniques are used to elucidate the pathways via which catalyzed reactions occur. Vladimir Galvita has been involved in studies of heterogeneous catalysts for the conversion of methane, light alkenes and alcohols to higher hydrocarbons, dehydrogenation of light alkanes to alkenes and aromatics, catalytic reforming and cracking processes, and combustion reactions. His research interests also include the areas of chemical looping and energy storage processes.
Автор: Cheryl Pavlik. In the 30 years that I have been in English language training (ELT), I have despaired of the lack of stimulating reading texts, accompanied by activities written specifically to energize and inspire the mature English learner. Why aren't many ESL reading texts sufficient? Although ESL learners may not yet have mastered English syntax, they still have interests beyond the mundane, and they certainly have ample reasoning ability. And while many reading texts are written about subjects of broad appeal, virtually all of them avoid topics that are deemed "too controversial" for the classroom setting. Unfortunately, many of those neglected topics are of great interest and relevance to adult lives. By steering course themes away from controversy, the instrucror also steers students away from motivating and stimulating topics.
How to Calculate Minimum Required Funding for Post-Completion Academic Training You will need to refer to the U.S. Federal Poverty Guidelines to determine the total amount of funding needed to cover the entire Academic Training period. ISS considers the minimum required funding to be 125% of the appropriate per-year amount from the Poverty Guidelines, adjusted by the number of days you will be on Academic Training. Please calculate the minimum required funding by following the instructions below. Find the appropriate value for the number of people in your household (you + all your J-2 dependents, if any) in the Poverty Guidelines table. This is the value referred to as pgv in the formula below. Multiply the pgv value by 1.25. (The result would be the required amount of funding if your Academic Training were exactly one-year long.) Divide that one-year minimum amount by 365, then multiply by the number of days you will be on Academic Training (d in the formula below). This final value is your Minimum Required Funding for the period of Academic Training. You will need to provide documentation for funds that match or exceed this minimum. Minimum Required Funding = (pgv * 1.25) / 365 * d Suppose you are calculating the minimum required funding for Academic Training that starts on June 1, 2017, and ends on May 15, 2018. Let us assume you have no J-2 dependents and you will be in Kansas while on Academic Training. - pgv = $12,060 (for the 1-person household in the 48 contiguous U.S. states in 2017) - d = 349 Min. Required Funding = ($12,060 * 1.25) / 365 * 349 = $14,414
Imatest 4.4+ can evaluate auto white balance (AWB) as a measure of correlated color temperature with respect to time. This can be performed by using the Colorcheck module with an appropriate video file. This metric is intended to be used as a way to measure the time a camera system takes to auto white balance a scene. Rise time and settling time are automatically calculated. This measurement does not provide information about the accuracy or precision of auto white balance. To evaluate those measures, several measurements should be performed on the final, settled images and compared. File Selection and Frame Selection Begin by clicking on Colorcheck from the main window and select a video file. Select the Plot metric with respect to time: Correlated color temperature option and select a range of frames that covers from incorrectly white balanced to balanced for at least 1-2 seconds. Any shorter and you risk not having enough frames to ensure the AWB system has settled completely. For more details on supported video formats, see Image file formats and acquisition devices Video Selection window Select the chart For more details on how to select Colorcheck regions, see Colorcheck Colorcheck Region Selection window Note that when selecting regions, the last frame in the sequence is used since that frame should be completely in-focus, making region selection easier. The final output figure will be displayed at the end of the run and saved to the output save directory if selected. If no plot option is selected, nothing will be displayed. CSV and JSON outputs will always be saved to the output save directory. Auto white balance Output Figure The figure output will contain a plot of the correlated color temperature with respect to time for each patch of the measured chart. The time axis (x-axis) will be in units of seconds and will be in units of absolute time from the video file. The figure will also contain some details about the run including ROI size, in and out points in the video file, total time range, settling time, 10-90% rise time, and total frames analyzed. Settling time and rise time are calculated on the middle grey patch of the chart. The JSON output file will contain the following structure: - Width: Video width in pixels - Height: Video height in pixels - InPoint: The selected in-point for the video in seconds - OutPoint: The selected out-point for the video in seconds - TotalTime: The total time evaluated (equivalent to OutPoint – InPoint) - TotalFrames: The total number of frames analyzed. Depending on whether or not the video is variable frame-rate, this may not be equivalent to TotalTime*fram-rate. - SettlingTime: The time taken for the specified metric to settle to +/- 5% of the mean in seconds - RiseTime: The time taken to go from 10% to 90% of the starting mean to the settled mean in seconds - DampingRatio: The damping ratio of the measured state change - Unit: The string name of the selected secondary readout - Time: An array of measured time values in seconds - Metric: The measured value for each point in time. In the units specified in Unit.
अयोध्या: प्रसिद्ध हनुमानगढ़ी मंदिर के महंत ज्ञानदास एवं लाल पत्थर मंदिर के महंत नागा रामलखन दास ने कहा है कि नेहरू-गांधी परिवार का अयोध्या से बहुत गहरा और निजी संबंध रहा है। महंत रामलखन दास ने बातचीत करते हुए कहा कि २७ मार्च को कांग्रेस की महासचिव प्रियंका गांधी वाड्रा अयोध्या आएंगी। इससे पहले १९११-१२ में महात्मा गांधी, १९६२ में जवाहरलाल नेहरू, १९७७ और १९८० में इंदिरा गांधी और उनके बेटे संजय, १९८४ के बाद राजीव गांधी और २०१६ में राहुल गांधी अयोध्या आए थे और हनुमानगढ़ी मंदिर में मत्था टेका था। उन्होंने बताया कि वाड्रा सुबह अयोध्या आएंगी और हनुमानगढ़ी मंदिर में नागा रामलखन दास और मंदिर के पुजारी जयमंगल दास के द्वारा पूजा कराने के बाद मंदिर की परिक्रमा करेंगी। उन्होंने बताया कि उसके बाद कांग्रेस महासचिव बिड़ला मंदिर से रोड शो करेंगी और अमेठी के लिए रवाना हो जाएंगी। वहीं, हनुमानगढ़ी मंदिर के महंत ज्ञानदास ने कहा है कि वह प्रियंका से बातचीत करेंगे। उन्होंने बताया कि अयोध्या में वाड्रा का संत और धर्मचार्यों से दशरथ महल मंदिर में मिलने का कार्यक्रम था लेकिन व्यस्तता के कारण यह कार्यक्रम रद्द कर दिया गया है।
Henry Craik, ed. English Prose. 1916. Vol. IV. Eighteenth Century On the Flight of Birds By Gilbert White (17201793) From Natural History of Selborne SELBORNE, 7th August 1778. DEAR SIRA good ornithologist should be able to distinguish birds by their air as well by their colours and shape; on the ground as well as on the wing; and in the bush as well as in the hand. For though it must not be said that every species of birds has a manner peculiar to itself, yet there is somewhat in most genera at least, that at first sight discriminates them, and enables a judicious observer to pronounce upon them with some certainty. Put a bird in motion Thus kites and buzzards sail round in circles with wings expanded and motionless; and it is from their gliding manner that the former are still called in the north of England gleads, from the Saxon verb glidan, to glide. The kestrel, or windhover, has a peculiar mode of hanging in the air in one place, his wings all the while being briskly agitated. Hen-harriers fly low over heaths or fields of corn, and beat the ground regularly like a pointer or setting-dog. Owls move in a buoyant manner, as if lighter than the air; they seem to want ballast. There is a peculiarity belonging to ravens that must draw the attention even of the most incuriousthey spend all their leisure time in striking and cuffing each other on the wing in a kind of playful skirmish; and, when they move from one place to another, frequently turn on their backs with a loud croak and seem to be falling to the ground. When this odd gesture betides them, they are scratching themselves with one foot, and thus lose the centre of gravity. Rooks sometimes dive and tumble in a frolicsome manner; crows and daws swagger in their walk; wood-peckers fly volatu undoso, opening and closing their wings at every stroke, and so are always rising or falling in curves. All of this genus use their tails, which incline downward, as a support while they run up trees. Parrots, like all other hook-clawed birds, walk awkwardly and make use of their bill as a third foot, climbing and descending with ridiculous caution. All the Gallinæ parade and walk gracefully and run nimbly; but fly with difficulty with an impetuous whirring, and in a straight line. Magpies and jays flutter with powerless wings, and make no dispatch; herons seem encumbered with too much sail for their light bodies, but these vast hollow wings are necessary in carrying burdens, such as large fishes and the like; pigeons, and particularly the sort called smiters, have a way of clashing their wings, the one against the other, over their backs with a loud snap; another variety, called tumblers, turn themselves over in the air. Some birds have movements peculiar to the season of love; thus ringdoves, though strong and rapid at other times, yet in the spring hang about on the wing in a toying and playful manner; thus the cocksnipe, while breeding, forgetting his former flight, fans the air like the windhover; and the greenfinch in particular, exhibits such languishing and faltering gestures as to appear like a wounded and dying bird; the kingfisher darts along like an arrow; fern-owls or goat-suckers, glance in the dusk over the tops of trees like a meteor; starlings as it were swim along, while missel-thrushes use a wild and desultory flight; swallows sweep over the surface of the ground and water, and distinguish themselves by rapid turns and quick evolutions; swifts dash round in circles; and the bank-martin moves with frequent vacillations like a butterfly. Most of the small birds fly by jerks, rising and falling as they advance. Most small birds hop; but wagtails and larks walk, moving their legs alternately. Skylarks rise and fall perpendicularly as they sing; woodlarks hang poised in the air; and titlarks rise and fall in large curves, singing in their descent. The whitethroat uses odd jerks and gesticulations over the tops of hedges and bushes. All the duck kind waddle; divers and auks walk as if fettered; and stand erect on their tails; these are the Compedes of Linnæus. Geese and cranes, and most wild fowls move in figured flights, often changing their position. The secondary remiges of Tringæ, wild ducks, and some others, are very long, and give their wings, when in motion, a hooked appearance. Dabchicks, moor-hens, and coots, fly erect, with their legs hanging down, and hardly make any dispatch; the reason is plain, their wings are placed too forward out of the true centre of gravity; as the legs of auks and divers are situated too backward.
Permanent hearing impairment greatly restricts a child's speech and language development and hinders his or her behavioural, cognitive and social functioning. Although technological devices, such as hearing aids and cochlear implants, enable the child to hear spoken words, they fail to teach the child how to listen, how to process language or how to talk. Auditory-verbal therapy aims to improve the spoken language abilities of a child with hearing impairment to the level of a child with typical hearing by developing his or her listening skills independent of other cues such as speech reading and gestures. It focuses on the context of spoken communication within the family and uses hearing and speech as the primary methods of communication. For this reason, it is thought to be more effective in helping a child reach typical age-related milestones in speech and language acquisition. This review was undertaken to assess evidence on the effectiveness of auditory-verbal therapy in promoting spoken language development in children with permanent hearing impairments. Whilst many studies have examined the effectiveness of AVT, no studies met the criteria for inclusion in this review. Well-designed studies are urgently needed to examine the effectiveness of AVT in promoting spoken language development in children. This review confirms the lack of well-controlled studies addressing the use of AVT as an intervention for promoting spoken language development in children with permanent hearing impairments. Whilst lack of evidence does not necessarily imply lack of effect, it is at present not possible for conclusions to be drawn as to the effectiveness of this intervention in treating children with permanent hearing impairments. Congenital or early-acquired hearing impairment poses a major barrier to the development of spoken language and communication. Early detection and effective (re)habilitative interventions are essential for parents and families who wish their children to achieve age-appropriate spoken language. Auditory-verbal therapy (AVT) is a (re)habilitative approach aimed at children with hearing impairments. AVT comprises intensive early intervention therapy sessions with a focus on audition, technological management and involvement of the child's caregivers in therapy sessions; it is typically the only therapy approach used to specifically promote avoidance or exclusion of non-auditory facial communication. The primary goal of AVT is to achieve age-appropriate spoken language and for this to be used as the primary or sole method of communication. AVT programmes are expanding throughout the world; however, little evidence can be found on the effectiveness of the intervention. To assess the effectiveness of auditory-verbal therapy (AVT) in developing receptive and expressive spoken language in children who are hearing impaired. CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, speechBITE and eight other databases were searched in March 2013. We also searched two trials registers and three theses repositories, checked reference lists and contacted study authors to identify additional studies. The review considered prospective randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-randomised studies of children (birth to 18 years) with a significant (≥ 40 dBHL) permanent (congenital or early-acquired) hearing impairment, undergoing a programme of auditory-verbal therapy, administered by a certified auditory-verbal therapist for a period of at least six months. Comparison groups considered for inclusion were waiting list and treatment as usual controls. Two review authors independently assessed titles and abstracts identified from the searches and obtained full-text versions of all potentially relevant articles. Articles were independently assessed by two review authors for design and risk of bias. In addition to outcome data, a range of variables related to participant groups and outcomes were documented. Of 2233 titles and abstracts searched, only 13 abstracts appeared to meet inclusion criteria. All 13 full-text articles were excluded following independent evaluation by two review authors (CGBJ and JW), as they did not meet the inclusion criteria related to the research design. Thus, no studies are included in this review.
सवालिया निशान लग रहे हैं। इसके अलावा परीक्षा में उर्दू भाषा को भी विकल्प के रूप में शामिल करने की मांग उठने लगी है। प्रदेश में सहायक अध्यापक भर्ती परीक्षा-३०२८ के आयोजन के अपर मुख्य सचिव राज प्रताप सिंह द्वारा गाइड लाइन जारी की चुकी है। परीक्षा के लिए सचिव परीक्षा नियामक प्राधिकारी इलाहाबाद को नामित किया गया है। ऑनलाइन आवेदन लिए जाने के बाद पात्रता पूरी करने वाले अभ्यर्थियों की प्रवेश परीक्षा १२ मार्च को विभिन्न मंडल मुख्यालयों पर कराई जाएगी। तीन घंटे की परीक्षा के लिए विभिन्न विषयों का समभाजन करने के साथ पाठ्यक्रम भी घोषित कर दिया गया है। अंग्रेजी व हिन्दी दोनों भाषाओं में प्रश्नपत्र होगा। अंग्रेजी विषय को छोड़कर शेष विषय के प्रश्नों के उत्तर हिन्दी में देने होंगे। खास बात यह है कि परीक्षा में उत्तीर्ण होने वाले अभ्यर्थी को प्रमाणपत्र भी दिया जायेगा। उत्तर प्रदेशीय प्राथमिक शिक्षा मित्र संघ की जिलाध्यक्ष अंजू कश्यप के मुताबिक शिक्षा मित्रों के संबंध में केवल टीईटी परीक्षा उत्तीर्ण करना अनिवार्य किया गया था। शिक्षक भर्ती परीक्षा से शिक्षा मित्रों का कोई सरोकार नही होगा। संगठन इस मामले में कानूनी राय ले रहा है और जल्द ही प्रक्रिया के विरोध में संगठन लामबंद होगा। सीबीएसई द्वारा आयोजित की जाने वाली सीटीईटी परीक्षा फरवरी मे प्रस्तावित है। यूपीटीईटी परीक्षा में असफल रहे हजारों शिक्षा मित्र सीटीईटी में भाग्य आजमाएंगे। ऐसे में इनका परीक्षा अप्रैल के बाद ही घोषित हो सकेगा। हजारों अभ्यर्थी भर्ती परीक्षा से पहले ही बाहर हो जाएंगे। १२ मार्च को होने वाली परीक्षा के दिन विवाह का शुभ मुहूर्त है। परीक्षा में शामिल होने वाले अनेक अभ्यर्थी परिणय-सूत्र में बंधेंगे। उनका यह बंधन कई माह पूर्व से तय है। ऐसे में उनके समक्ष परीक्षा में शामिल होना समस्या रहेगी। मार्च में सीबीएसई व यूपी बोर्ड की परीक्षाएं है। अनेक शिक्षा मित्रों के बच्चे परीक्षाएं देंगे। ऐसे में वह भर्ती परीक्षा और बच्चों की परीक्षा में कैसे सामंजस्य स्थापित कर पाएंगे? डीएलएड-२०१५ की अभ्यर्थियों का परीक्षाफल अभी तक घोषित नही हो सका है जबकि कई अभ्यर्थी यूपीटीईटी परीक्षा पास कर चुके है। वह आवेदन करने से वंचित रह जाएंगे। उत्तर प्रदेश उर्दू टीचर्स एसोसिएशन के जिलाध्यक्ष तालिब हसन व महामंत्री मो.वसीम ने अपर मुख्य सचिव राज प्रताप सिंह को पत्र भेजा है। उन्होंने कहा कि भर्ती परीक्षा में उर्दू को भी विकल्प के तौर पर शामिल किया जाना चाहिए।
Transformation of Lateral Velocities Back to Contents In the essay on The Lorentz Transformation I showed you how two observers would determine the velocity of a body moving in a direction parallel to the relative motion between them. Now I want to consider the velocity of a body that moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction of relative motion between two observers. Imagine that Dave sits on a bench beside a straight stretch of railroad track that runs due east-west and that Dora rides a track speeder eastward at speed U. As before I assert that the speed of light in this imaginary world is a mere 100 miles per hour. Imagine further that just before Dora passes his location Dave throws a baseball due north with a speed V. How fast does that baseball move in Dora's frame of reference? Let's start to answer that question by asking how Dave knows that the baseball moves at speed V. How does he know what number to put in place of V? In accordance with physicists' convention we say that the track lies parallel to the X-axis of a coordinate frame and that the baseball moves parallel to the Y-axis of that frame. We can now readily mathematize what Dave does. Now Dave marks off a distance in the Y-direction, say from the north rail of the track to a conveniently located backstop, and calls that distance Y. Then he puts a clock at each end of that distance, making certain to synchronize them, and notes the time that each clock displays when the baseball passes it. Subtracting the earlier time from the later time gives Dave the time required for the baseball to cross the distance Y, which time interval Dave calls T. Dave determines the speed V as the ratio of distance crossed to time elapsed; that is, (Eq'n 1) What speed would Dora measure for the baseball? In the X-direction it has the speed -U that Dave has relative to Dora's inertial frame. In the Y-direction it has a speed that Dora will have to determine in the same way that Dave did, she will determine the ratio between the distance y and the time interval t that she measures between the baseball's crossing the north rail and hitting the backstop. Or she could simply calculate the speed from Dave's data after transforming it appropriately. She doesn't need to transform the distance, since it lies oriented perpendicular to the direction of relative motion between Dave and her. She knows that y = Y. She needs to think about the transformation of time measured on Dave's clocks. She knows that she has no temporal offset to account between the two clocks because the clocks have no component of separation from each other in the x-direction. She has only to take into account the fact that Dave's clocks tick off dilated time in her frame, that for any interval T that Dave's clocks count off her clocks will count off t = LT, in which the Lorentz factor comes from (Eq'n 2) In the y-direction, then, Dora infers the baseball's speed as (Eq'n 3) In Dora's frame the baseball appears to fly more slowly than it does in Dave's frame, at least in the y-direction. Dora can now use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the baseball's full speed in her frame, the speed that comes from its motion in both the x- and y-directions. If Dora represents that speed with w, then she calculates (Eq'n 4) We know that neither V nor U can exceed the speed of light, so now we want to ask whether their combination given in Equation 4 could ever lead to w exceeding the speed of light. If we square Equation 4, then we have the inequality (In'q 1) which expresses our proposition that w never exceed c. To prove and verify that proposition we must solve that inequality as if it were an equation and obtain a statement that has the self-evident truth of an axiom. I can achieve that proof by subtracting U2 from both sides of the inequality sign, giving both remaining terms on the left side a common denominator (c2 in this case), and then dividing both sides by c2-U2. I then obtain (In'q 2) That statement has the axiomatic property that I want and completes my proof. We now know that we cannot make any object move faster than the speed of light by accelerating it in one direction and then accelerating it in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. Now I want to consider one final check on the derivation of the lateral velocity above. Imagine that Dave's clocks don't work. In order to calculate the speed of the baseball in his frame, Dave will have to use the times shown on Dora's clocks. But we won't accept the readings on Dora's clocks unless we see them right next to the baseball at the appropriate instants. That means that Dora must mount her southern clock a distance x = Ut east of her northern clock in the x-direction so that her eastward motion relative to Dave will bring her clocks, one after the other, into near coincidence with the baseball. That x-ward separation obliges Dave to compensate a temporal offset, even though Dora has carefully synchronized her clocks with each other. If he takes a snapshot of Dora going by his location, Dave will measure the x-ward distance between Dora's clocks as X = x/L. He knows that relative motion has shoved Dora's northern clock into the future relative to her southern clock by the offset xU/c2. To obtain the correct time of flight for the baseball he must subtract that number from the difference between the readings on Dora's clocks and then, because Dora's clocks tick off dilated time in his frame, multiply the result by the Lorentz factor between his and Dora's inertial frames. He thus obtains (Eq'n 5) He then calculates the speed of the baseball as (Eq'n 6) That equation agrees with Equation 3, as it should. So now Dave and Dora have solved a problem in relativistic kinematics that involves bodies moving in two different dimensions of space. Surely this means that they can readily extend their derivation to a fully general two-dimensional version of the Lorentz Transformation. How hard can it be? (Hint: what's the difference between smashing a tyrannosaur's egg and taking on the fully grown Tyrannosaurus rex Herself?) I will answer that question in the essay on the Rindler-Shaw paradox. habg Back to contents

It is remarkable when a human being is deemed as one of the faces of civilization. We often ascribe civilization to the achievements of a group of people who have excelled in contributing to the knowledge of fields such as medicine, engineering, and architecture. The Islamic civilization introduced men and women who were figures of civilization to the extent that a study of their lives is actually a study of civilizations itself. Islam has helped the progress of humanity in a broad spectrum of fields, with its followers representing all dimensions of civilization. One example is Al Razi (Rhazes) ,may Allah have mercy on him, who was not only a doctor and a teacher but a master in many other fields including ethics and religion. He excelled in these fields and was an eminent figure in religious and medical sciences becoming unquestionably one of the most important figures in Islamic civilization. Al Razi : the Man Abu-Bakr Muhammad Ibn-Zakariya Al Razi was born in the year 250 A.H (864 A.D) in the city of Rayy, six kilometers south east of Tehran. From an early age, he loved the study of science and scholarly discipline. In Rayy he studied law, medicine, and philosophy, but this did not satisfy his craving for knowledge. Although the city was full of scientists and scholars, it was not a city that embraced all the earth sciences at that time. Therefore, Al Razi headed to the world’s center of knowledge, Baghdad, capital of the Abbasids Caliphate. He studied in an intensive exchange program and studied different sciences with a special focus on medicine. The first professor in that field was Ali Ibn-Zain at-Tabariyy, author of the first international medical encyclopedia named “Ferdaus al-Hikma” or the Paradise of Wisdom. Passionate about Medicine Al Razi was also interested in other sciences related to medicine such as chemistry and herbal medicine. He was interested in philosophy because it included the views of Greek philosophers, who were also students of medicine with his main teacher in philosophy, al-Balkhiyy. Al Razi, may Allah have mercy on him, devoted many years of his life, to learning all that he could about medicine until he excelled noticeably in that field. After he had returned to Rayy from Baghdad, he became director of the hospital of Rayy, one of the most advanced hospitals known in Islam and gained an unrivalled reputation in terms of his success in treating previously incurable cases. His achievements were known to all and eventually the Prime Minister of the Abbasid State, Ibn-Boyeh invited him to become chief of medicine at the Adodiyy Hospital in Baghdad. At the time, this hospital was regarded as one of the biggest hospitals worldwide, employing over fifty doctors. It was an institute of science and an advanced school of medicine, as well as a hospital. Al Razi, may Allah have mercy on him, became an incomparable scientific reference to not only Baghdad, but the entire world. No Success without Effort It is very important to stop and ask how Al Razi,may Allah have mercy on him reached such heights of glory and dignity. It is important to understand that such success is not coincidental; rather it is achieved due to great effort and sacrifice. Success never occurs randomly for it requires planning, discipline and skill. This is what characterized the life of Al Razi. He searched for knowledge from every source and exerted so much effort in order to learn as much as possible. This process was followed by careful thought, numerous experiments, and meticulous studies, to the extent that he was always analyzing, criticizing and modifying,theories, until he reached the stage of innovation and invention. At the time of Al Razi, may Allah have mercy on him, the Greek, Persian, Indian and Egyptian forms of medicine,spread as a result of efforts to translate scientific literature from these nations. Al Razi read all these works but was not satisfied with just reading, preferring instead to observe and experiment before making any final deductions. Al Razi and the Establishment of the Experimental Theory Greek medicine was the most important form of medicine at that time, but it was dependent on untried theories. Greek doctors approved this approach and became known as philosophers of medicine because they rarely applied their theories. Even great figures of Greek medicine such as Galen and Hippocrates adopted this approach. On the other hand, Al Razi believed that “when reality contradicts a prevailing theory, one should always accept reality no matter how great the scientist who coined it . He made his famous statement which is regarded as one of the laws of science in general, and medicine, in particular. He said, “Whenever a prevailing theorem and a real fact are contradictory, the latter is to be accepted as true no matter how wide the extent to which the theorem is acted upon is in advocation of the scientist who put it.” He believed that a scientist, no matter how famous, could not endorse a theory if it contradicts an actual observation, a real experiment or an existing fact. Therefore, Al Razi made his own deductions, based on fact and experimentation and not on hypothesis. He regularly criticized other scientist’s views and wrote one book refuting the views of Galen the eminent Greek doctor, named “Doubts about Galen”. In it he highlighted mistakes in Galen’s ideas, giving his own suggestions and describing the process by which he reached his conclusions Al Razi was very keen on asking patients every detail about their disease, stating that a doctor should always ask his patient about every detail of his ailment. Medical history taking is the first step in the treatment of a patient in modern medicine as well as thorough knowledge of the disease itself and its causes. Al Razi would start to examine each patient by measuring his temperature and pulse to ascertain if they needed to be admitted into hospital. The patient would then be put under careful observation in order to record every single piece of information that might be useful in detecting the cause of the disease or in prescribing treatment. Al Razi was renowned for his precision to an extent that astonished those who read his notes on pathological cases. What is more astonishing is that Al Razi was one of the first to carry out drug testing on animals such as monkeys to see how safe a drug was. Nowadays, most drugs are not approved unless they are first tested on animals A Pioneer of Medicine As a result of his unique scientific approach, Al Razi achieved unprecedented scientific breakthroughs in many different fields He pioneered in the following achievements: · The invention of a suture which he constructed from cat guts. This invention was used by doctors many centuries after his death, until the invention of an improved version at the end of the twentieth century. · The invention of mercury ointments. · The differentiation between venous and arterial hemorrhages, using the finger pressure to stop a venous hemorrhage and a bandage to stop the arterial one in the same way as modern medicine · The description of cataract extraction · The use of opium in treating dry cough. · The introduction of laxatives to pharmacy · Considering fever as a symptom, not a disease. He also paid a lot of attention to descriptions of a patient’s urine and blood, treating it as useful information that could help the patient’s treatment. He avoided the use of chemical drugs if there was a chance that the patient’s ailment could be treated with herbal medicine or through a change in diet, as recommended by doctors nowadays. Al Razi was not an innovator in just one specialty of medicine but offered detailed commentary on internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, sexually transmitted diseases, ophthalmology and surgery. Al Razi and the Gift of Intelligence Al Razi, may Allah have mercy on him, was an extremely intelligent and gifted man. This is clearly illustrated in the process by which he chose the location to build a grand hospital in Baghdad. He picked four possible locations and in order to ascertain which the optimum location was. He placed a piece of fresh meat at each site and monitored their decay. The site where the meat decayed the slowest was chosen because it had the cleanest air, preferable for the location of a hospital where disease can be cured. Al Razi: Teacher of Medicine Al Razi was eager to disseminate his knowledge and experience. He taught medicine at the renowned medical school in the governmental hospital of Baghdad. His teaching methods involved two approaches; a theoretical and a clinical experimental approach. He taught his students medical books, giving lectures, holding scientific circles and taking his students on ward rounds to teach and explain certain cases. He taught his students medicine in three years, starting with theoretical then scientific topics in exactly the same way that medicine is taught nowadays. At the end of the third year, he gave out an exam consisting of two parts. The first test was in anatomy and the second was a practical test of the student’s knowledge in treating patients. Those who failed the first part could not proceed to the second. Al Razi was not content with simple teaching to convey his knowledge, so he paid great attention to recording information and wrote many medical books. In his book “Kitab al-Fihrist" or "The Index", Ibnul-Nadim stated that Al Razi had written a total of 113 books and twenty-eight theses. This number is very large, particularly since all the books were written on the subject of medicine. The Great Legacy of Al Razi One of the greatest books written by Al Razi, may Allah have mercy on him, is“Al-Hawi fi elm al- tadawi” or "The encompassing Book on Medicine", a complete medical encyclopedia of all medical information discovered during Al Razi’s era. In it he compiled information on all his clinical experiences. This book was translated into more than one European language and was published for the first time in Brescia north Italy in 891 A.H (1486 A.D),. It was the biggest book ever printed after the invention of printers. It was printed in 25 volumes and reprinted many times in the Italian city of Venice in the 10th century of Hijrah (the 16th A.D). The historian Max Mayer Hoff mentioned that in 1500 A.D, there were five editions of this book and numerous publications containing extracts from it. Another of Al Razi’s most famous books is “al-Tibb al-Mansouri" named after Mansour Ibn-Ishaq, ruler of Khurasan. The book tackled various medical issues on internal medicine, surgery, and ophthalmology. Al Razi intended to make it a concise work even though it was eventually ten chapters long! Many European scientists were therefore motivated to translate the book into different languages like Latin, English, German, and Hebrew. It was first distributed in Milan in 1481 A.D and remained a key reference text for European doctors up until the 17th century. One of his most successful books was the book of “Smallpox and Measles” in which he recorded very important and precise notes about the differences between the two diseases and was the first to differentiate between smallpox and measles, . This book was reprinted in Europe four times between the years 903-1283 A.H, (1498-1869 A.D). He also wrote a book titled “Al-Asrar fi al-Kimyaa” or "Secrets of Chemistry", which remained a fundamental reference for chemistry in eastern and western schools for many years. He also wrote another book named “At-Teb ar-Rawhani” or "Spritual Medicine” which aims to encourage people to respect the mind, repress whims and reject immorality in order to discipline the soul Al Razi: An Ethical Perspective Al Razi’s works were written with unique and complete scientific honesty. He always clearly referenced information if it had been discovered by others, which is why his books were full of names such as Galen, Hippocrates and Armansous He also mentioned modern doctors of his time such as Yehia Ibn-Masawhey and Hanin Ibn-Ishaq. He urged his students to follow a certain approach in writing, stating “if a student reads a large number of books and understands their content, he should always seek to write a book that includes what others have neglected”. He advised his students to record information collected during their studies and practice so that other students could benefit from their knowledge and writings in the future. Al Razi was not only a scientist but he was a very well-behaved man and was renowned for his generosity. He was devoted to his friends and acquaintances and was compassionate to the poor and sick, providing for them and in some cases giving them jobs. He advised his students to be motivated primarily by caring for patients and not by financial reward. He also encouraged them to give equal care and attention to the poor as well as the rich. His interest in the medical treatment of the poor encouraged him to write a book titled “Teb al Fuqaraa” or “Medicine of the Poor”. In it he described different diseases and symptoms which afflict the poor and suggested different herbal and nutritional treatment methods instead of expensive drugs. This interest in good ethics led him to write a book called “Akhlak at-Tabeeb” or The Ethics of a Doctor in which he described the doctor-patient relationship in detail. Al Razi: The Testimony of Scientists All people acknowledge Al Razi’s excellence, greatness and unprecedented knowledge in the field of medicine Moreover, his works were translated to European languages and were reprinted many times. There are some recorded incidents and cases highlighting the importance of this great scholar and scientist. Among these incidents, is the fact that King Louis the 11th of France (ruler of France 1461-1483 A.D), paid gold in abundance for his doctors to make a special copy of the book “Al- Hawi" as his own reference text should he become afflicted with any disease. Moreover, the old English poet “Geoffrey Chaucer” praised Al Razi in one of his famous poems in his celebrated work "The Canterbury Tales”. Also the American University of Preston still calls its biggest annex by Al Razi’s name. There is also a monument in Al Razi’s honor at the Paris University medical school and his portrait can be found on St German street in Paris. Al Razi is a truly unique and magnificent face of the Islamic civilization rarely matched in history. He was a doctor, scientist, teacher and humanitarian. He lived his life serving Islam, science and humanity and died at the age of 60 in Sha’ban 311 A.H (November 923 A.D). . However, it is hard to say that he died because his achievements have immortalized him. .On this subject, Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) stated in a hadith that when a person dies, his deeds come to a halt except in three cases, one of which is when he bequeaths a knowledge that benefits humanity. - Font Size - Reading Mode
Peer inside a neutron star A star with a mass of less than 1.5 solar masses (the mass of the Sun) forms a white dwarf at the end of its lifetime, owing to its gravity being too weak to collapse it further. If the mass of a star is greater than five solar masses, the forces will be so intense that the star collapses past the point of a neutron star and becomes a black hole. However, between these two extremes a neutron star will form as the result of a supernova, although only approximately one in a thousand stars will become one. As a star runs out of fuel it will eventually collapse in upon itself. In the formation of a neutron star, the protons and electrons within every atom are forced together, forming neutrons. Material that is falling to the centre of the star is then crushed by the intense gravitational forces in the star and forms this same neutron material. Like the Earth, magnetic ﬁelds surround neutron stars and are tipped at the axis of rotation, namely the north and south poles. However, the magnetic ﬁeld of a neutron star is more than a trillion times stronger than that of Earth’s. The gravitational forces in a neutron star are also incredibly strong. The matter is so densely packed together into a radius of 20 kilometres (12 miles) that one teaspoon of mass would weigh up to a billion tons, about the same as Mount Everest. They also spin up to 600 times per second, gradually slowing down as they age. Oddly enough, as a neutron star becomes heavier it also becomes smaller. This is because a greater mass means a greater force of gravitational attraction, and therefore the neutrons are squeezed more densely together. In fact, if you were able to drop an object from a height of one metre on the surface of a neutron star, it would hit the ground at about 2,000 kilometres (1,200 miles) per second.

ASL video - shopping It’s important to remember, that ASL, like every other sign language, is an individual, linguistically independent, natural language and by no mean a translation of spoken English into signs and gestures. ASL follows its own rules of syntax and grammar. Christine Burroughs goes shopping and the example perfectly shows, how ASL consists not only of hand gestures, but also of lip-mouth movements, body movements, eye movements and even eye brow movements. Watch how she opens a valet, how her fingers indicate walking from one aisle to the next, how items are taken down from the shelves, boxes opened and the shopping cart is pushed. There is, of course, no spoken comment, but even a sign language novice can clearly understand what it’s about. Basics of sign language Facial expressions are as important as are hand gestures and body movements. If you signal ‘sad’, you should look sad, if you signal ‘happy’ you should smile. Hand signals and facial expressions are of course read simultaneously by the deaf reader. Therefore it is important to synchronize both. That’s best achieved by keeping the ‘talking hands’ in front of the chest, just below the face. Take another look at Christine Burroughs and you will see how she accomplishes the synchronization. Names and special, sometimes technical, words are conveyed by fingerspelling. Otherwise , not every word is spelled out, which would take far too long. Gestures, like opening the valet, indicate that you want to pay. Accompanied by an astonished expression, it can mean: I don’t have enough money. Here are the fingersigns for ASL spelling. Origin of ASL Syntax in ASL does not follow the rule of subject-object-verb like in spoken English. It’s rather topic orientated and, if anything, follows French syntax. This came about because of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, a Philadelphia born theology student of French origin (1787-1851). He wanted to help deaf people in America and traveled to France, where a sign language was already established.He studied it at the school of Abbe Sicart in Paris. Accompanied by one of Sicart’s assistants, Gallaudet returned to America in 1816 and started to seek financial support for a school of his own. He developed the American version of the French sign language and opened his school in 1817 in Hartford. He published many books on the subject and is regarded as the ‘father’ of ASL. Each country has its own sign language and there is no such thing as a universal sign language. Much like Esperanto for the spoken language, a sign language called “Gestuno” has been developed but it’s not a language per se, more a certain set of signs and gestures which are universally understood. A kind of European Creole has recently emerged in Europe which is sometimes dubbed as ‘Universal Sign Language’ but is more or less on a par with Gestuno. It’s likely that in future and with growing globalization of commerce and other interactions, efforts will be resumed and a universal language for the deaf will be created.

In nature one encounters all sorts of different animals intermingling without any apparent law or order. It is necessary, therefore, with all this diversity to invent some workable system that will bring cosmos out of chaos and make “type study” possible, otherwise confusion is inevitable and the effort to become familiar with all living things is hopeless. First of all it is essential to become acquainted with as many kinds of animals as possible, not alone through pictures and names of animals that live so dreary a life in textbooks, but through actual acquaintance with real animals. Taxonomy, or classification of animals and plants, is dull and without point until one has gained a personal acquaintance with enough organisms to make it worth while. This chapter consequently should be referred to only as a last resort after various kinds of animals encountered begin to be familiar and interesting, and there is something to classify. Classifications, it should be noted, are more than arbitrary sets of pigeon-holes labeled with forbidding technical names, in which to file away and forget our animal associates, for they involve a compact summary of knowledge concerning the origin and derivation of different organisms. In mentally putting together animals of a kind, the ideal criterion to employ is hereditary relationship rather than external resemblance. It is the particular province of comparative morphology to discover such relationships. A whale, for example, is properly classified with mammals rather than with fishes, which it superficially resembles and with which it associates, because its common origin with animals of the mammalian type is indicated by the fundamental fact that, along with many other mammalian peculiarities, its young are born alive and fed at first upon milk. Superficial features, like the transparency of many open-sea forms as diverse as jellyfish, shrimp, pteropod mollusks, worms, and larval fishes, or the power of aerial flight on the part of such plainly unrelated creatures as birds, bees, and bats, tell us where the animal has been spending its life, while animals as unlike in appearance as whales and bats, herons and hummingbirds, eels and flatfishes, butterflies and bedbugs, or lobsters and barnacles, belong together in any scientific classification, because each pair is built on the same fundamental plan and has a blood relationship, one with the other. Owing to the incompleteness of our present knowledge about the evolution and blood relationship of animals there is still considerable uncertainty and controversy among taxonomists as to “who’s who” in any classification, and as a result several different arrangements are current in books dealing with the subject. The same scientist, as his store of knowledge grows, may change his original classification. For instance, David Starr Jordan, America’s foremost authority on the group of fishes, in a classification of North American fishes (Jordan and Copeland) in 1876, named 670 species. Twenty-two years later, in 1898, he published a new list (Jordan and Everman) including in it only 585 species in spite of the fact that meanwhile 130 new species had been brought to light. Ward refers to two kinds of taxonomists, namely, “hair-splitters” and “lumpers,” and we are free to choose between them, for there is no indisputable hard and fast classification that we are bound to accept to the exclusion of all others. Although opinions differ with regard to the details of systems of classification, there is substantial agreement with regard to the sequence of the following groups in which The manner of employing these groups may be illustrated by classifying a particular individual house cat, named “Tom” (Fig. 7). It will be seen that this cat finds itself admitted successively into more and more inclusive groups, until finally, as a member of the vast animal kingdom, it has quite lost its individual importance. If now we retrace our steps in the diagram from the all-inclusive animal kingdom, we see the individuality of “Tom” gradually emerging until it may be concluded that this cat at least possesses not only the general characteristics listed in the preceding chapter as vertebrate characteristics, but also that it has the special equipment that makes it a mammal and a carnivore, like the lions, tigers, and their kind, and last of all it has an individuality that distinguishes it from all other domestic cats which are well known in their several households. Although Darwin, who wrote The Origin of Species, was unable to define just what are the limits of a species, which is a concept that has no exact counterpart in nature, he nevertheless made it clear that a species is a real entity that outlives the separate individuals composing it. The species concept of “cats” will remain long after the individual Tom has lived out the traditional nine lives of cats and turned to dust.
What a blackjack cheat sheet? You can think of a blackjack cheat sheet like on a graphics where you can see the possible combinations of your and a dealer’s hand. Each combination requires from you a specific task, so you can decrease the dealer’s odds and increase your blackjack odds. Blackjack sheat sheets are far from a new thing and have been used by the professional gambler for years. Here AH Games will help you understand the matter in detail. Blackjack strategy cheat sheet This strategy is, and it can make a huge difference. Of course, before anything else, you will have to know some basic blackjack terms. At this point, it is essential to learn the terms mentioned below, without them, understanding a cheat sheet will be far more difficult. So lets start with the basics. Soft hand- this is the first term here. It refers to a card combination in which you have an ace. Because the value of this card could be 1 or 11, it is impossible to break the limit or exceed 21. For example, if you have a card with a value of 2 (A2), and an ace, the total value can be 13 or 3. You can see cards up to A9 which will appear in the sheets as well. The number refers to the card value. Hard hand- This is the combination where you have two cards excluding ace. So if you have 10 and 7, you will have a total value of 17 and is known as hard 17. This also means that breaking is more possible and drawing is riskier than in the first case scenario. Hit- The term refers to when you will take another card. This is possible only after the dealer shows their card.

"Contributor to Magazines." (Sharp) Dear love, I sometimes think how it would be If thou shouldst love me, if, on such a day, O day of wonder! thou shouldst come and say I love thee, or but let me guess thy plea-- If once thine eyes should brighten suddenly, If once thy step should hasten or delay Because of me, if once thy hand should stay A needless instant in my own! Ah, me! From such imaginings I wake and start, And dull and worthless life's endeavours seem Before the tender beauty of my dream-- And then I whisper my impatient heart, "Be still, be comforted, O heart of mine, Thou art not all bereft, the dream is thine." (Text from American Sonnets)
Moscow (Mar. 25) Emphasizing that there are 250,000 Polish Jews “tomperarily residing” in Russia, the presidium of the Committee of Polish Jews in the USSR today issued an appeal to the Jews of America, Palestine, Britain and other countries asking for “immediate material holp.” The appeal points out that the Jewish refugees in the Soviet Union are “the core of the future Jewish community in Poland.” “The Nazi crusade against the Jewish population of Poland forced Polish Jews to leave their country,” the appeal says. “To save their lives they left behind them all their worldly goods and property and fled in panio toward the cast. In this manner some 250,000 Polish Jews escaped from the brutal Nazi terrow to find asylum in the Soviet Union. “Fully aware of their responsibilities they set themselves immediately to work in verious industrial and economic fields joining with the local Soviet population in forging effective weapons against the rapacious German fascism. However, the arduous wartime comditions as well as the numerous evacuations from various districts imposed a servere strain upon their health, material resources and clothes. “In view of the historically unprececented crime committed in the extermination of the great Jewish community in Poland by the bloody hand of German fascism it is obvious that the Jewish refugees in the Soviet Union, owing to their numbers and their quality, will constitute the core of the future Jewish community in Poland. A Majority of the refugees are skilled professionals – physicians, engineers, lawyers, intellectuals, teachers, clerks, artisans, merchants, prominent literary men and social leaders, Many are workers from the heavy industries. “Therefore, from every point of view, it is of the utmost importance that everything possible should be done to protect the life and health of these Jewish refugees that they might one day return to Poland in comparatively sound physical condition. This is even more important since the Polish Jews in the emigration have always expressed and are now expressing their unswerving will to return to their Motherland – a revived democratic Poland. “During this hardest period of their history the Polish Jews turn their eyes toward their brothers abroad with when they are linked by blood. Irrespective of the aid rendered to our unhappy brothers who have survived in Poland and who waged a commen struggld against the brutal Nazi invader it is of the most urgent importance that immediate material help should be given to the Jewish refugees in the Soviet Union from whom the future Jewish community in Poland is destined to be recreated. “On behalf of the quarter million Polish Jews temporarily residing in the Soviet Union and represented by the Organizational Committee of Polish Jews let us appeal to the feelings of Jewry in the United States, North America, South America, Canada, Palestine. Britain and Australia to concern themselves with the fate of the Polish Jews in the emigration.”
Five o’clock traffic is dangerous, early morning traffic is dangerous, but one the most under estimated problem may be the parking lot. Parking lots are places where we feel it is the last area to get a ticket or cause an injury from motor vehicle accidents. What are the rules to parking lots? Do we seriously have to make complete stops to words painted on the grounds that are half way faded out? The answer is absolutely “yes”. Adults and children are unpredictable especially in parking lots. Some people walk slow, others walk fast, handicapped individuals take a little longer than the rest, and children are running in between cars playing tag with siblings or friends. Motorists use parking lots as short cuts when traffic is too heavy at the intersection. Drivers can be seen driving across a parking lot to avoid the stop sign or traffic light and sometimes they might get pulled over by an officer who is waiting there for that exact reason. The following are examples of parking lot accidents from 2005 derived from the U.S. Department of Transportation. - 27k accidents happened while entering the parking lot (1) - 65k accidents occurred while departing from a parking spot (1) - 198k accidents happened while backing up (1) What can be done to reduce the number of injuries and accidents in parking lots? A lot of parking lots use speed bumps to slow down drivers and to help protect pedestrians. Other parking lots are equipped with stop signs, speed limits, and crosswalks. Ultimately, the responsibility falls on the motorist to obey warning signs and to pay close attention to people walking in parking lots and always avoid distractions like texting or playing games on cell phones. Motorists alone are not the only contributor to parking lot accidents; pedestrians can cause problems also. Pedestrians should dedicate attention to motorists who cannot see them. They should not walk and text at the same time. The following are a couple of tips for pedestrian safety. - Pedestrians need to be predictable, walk in crosswalks, and obey warnings signs. - Walk against the flow of traffic so motorists can see you better. - Keep children close, hold their hand and practice safety precautions. - Do not text on cell phone while walking in the parking lot.

So when your kid gets a headache, what should you do? Pediatric neurologist and headache specialist, Marc DiSabella, DO, discusses the different types of headaches and how to treat your child’s headaches. What is a headache? A headache is pain or discomfort in the head or face area. Headaches can be single or recurrent in nature, and localized to one or more areas of the head and face. Headaches are typically divided into two categories: primary and secondary. Primary headaches are due to the headache condition itself and not other conditions. For example, they can be caused by tight muscles, dilated blood vessels, changes in communication between parts of the nervous system or inflammation of the structures in the brain. There are three types of primary headaches: migraines, tension headaches and cluster headaches. Secondary headaches are caused by problems in the structure of the brain, or by other health conditions and diseases. Secondary headaches are the least common type of headache and typically increase in frequency over time. They may be associated with other neurologic symptoms or signs, such as fever, excessive vomiting, double vision or periods of confusion that are otherwise unexplained. How to treat your child’s headaches The good news is that most kids don’t need lab tests or MRIs for headaches. Headaches can usually be treated at home with rest, quiet, plenty of fluids and over-the-counter pain relievers. An electrolyte-filled drink like Gatorade, Powerade or coconut water will help break the headache quickly. If you use ibuprofen, be sure not to use it more than three days in a week – people who overuse it can develop daily headaches. If your child feels fine and wants to play outside or go to school, they can, even with a headache. How do I prevent headaches? Most patients with headaches respond to basic healthy lifestyle changes that reduce headache frequency and intensity. Common goals include drinking specific amount of fluids every day, avoiding caffeine and artificial sweeteners, daily aerobic exercise, regular sleep cycles and a healthy, well-balanced diet. In a study in the New England Journal of Medicine, more than 70 percent of children and adolescents showed improvement in their headaches when they performed these lifestyle changes for a period of several months. When to see a doctor If your child has headaches on a regular (or daily) basis, or their headaches are increasing in frequency, you should consult your pediatrician. Other reasons to consult a doctor are if the headache wakes your child up out of sleep or if their headache has lasted for longer than three days and it won’t go away. If you have any questions about your child’s headaches or how to treat them, do not hesitate to contact your child’s pediatrician.

IOM produces policy-oriented documents across the migration management spectrum, paying particular attention to emerging policy issues. The following is a selection of IOM’s policy-oriented documents, which include policy papers prepared for IOM Council Sessions: - Disaster Risk Reduction, Climate Change Adaptation and Environmental Migration. This paper analyzes efforts to support vulnerable and mobile communities affected by environmental hazards through disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) activities conducive to sustainable development. It argues that migration and environmental migration in particular are cross-cutting issues that – in order to be effectively managed – need to be fully recognized and mainstreamed into sustainable development strategies at all levels and in DRR and CCA strategic frameworks. - Migration and Social Change. Migration leads to changes of social structures, identities, attitudes, norms and practices in both home and host societies. The dynamics of increasing socio-cultural connections across geopolitical borders which migrants establish and maintain – a phenomenon known as transnationalism – need to be taken into account in designing effective migration policies. This paper outlines policy options which strengthen social cohesion in both home and host countries and allow for greater coherence and effectiveness through enhanced cooperation between multiple stakeholders such as governments, civil society and private sector partners. - Human Rights and Migration. On a daily basis, migrants around the world suffer gross violations of their human rights. Governments have a duty to ensure that the human rights of migrants are respected and integrated in policies all along the migration cycle, from pre-departure to return, and regardless of an individual’s migratory status. This paper presents legal frameworks, institutions and mechanisms required for the effective implementation of human rights in a migration context. It also draws attention to the specific protection needs of trafficked persons and migrant workers subject to exploitation. - Challenges of Irregular Migration: Addressing Mixed Migration Flows. Involving people with different profiles and needs who are on the move for a variety of reasons, mixed migration flows need to be addressed through comprehensive but differentiated policy responses. This paper looks at the whole “migratory life-cycle” of mixed flows from their genesis in the countries of origin to the post-arrival stage and considers long term options to create viable alternatives to irregular migration. - Return Migration: Challenges and Opportunities. Return migration can be one of the most challenging aspects of migration management. A comprehensive approach to return migration which factors in the possibility of return into policy and programmatic activities at each stage of the migration process. In this context, Assisted Voluntary Return is the strategy which can best address individual needs of returnees and facilitate cooperative approaches among involved countries while respecting the rights and dignity of returnees. This paper outlines possible policy measures to assist returnees at all stages of the process, to support the successful reintegration of migrants in their home communities, and to strengthen the links between return migration and development. - Migration Management in the Evolving Global Economy. Globalization is changing national economies, but also stimulates migration and leads to the emergence of new migration patterns. Policymakers in both developed and developing countries face important challenges in devising comprehensive migration management strategies needed to maximize the potential benefits flowing from exchanges of skills and talents in a globally interconnected economy. This paper examines key policy issues and challenges in migration management and highlights the benefits of inter-State cooperation and the role of the private sector and civil society in migration management. - Migration and the Environment. Climate change and environmental degradation are playing an increasingly important role in inducing the movement of people. Sound migration management is needed to enhance the potential of migration to help people adapt to a changing environment while minimizing the negative repercussions of environmental migration for migrants and communities. This paper outlines some of the possible scenarios in which environmental change, migration and human security may interact with one another. It also presents principles of effective environmental migration management and highlights possible policy responses, including links with sustainable development. - Partnerships in Migration – Engaging Business and Civil Society. The benefits of multi-stakeholder partnerships, including civil society and the private sector, in countries of origin, transit and destination are widely recognized. This paper takes stock of numerous examples of policy dialogue and partnerships with non-governmental stakeholders aiming to strengthen the positive impact of migration on development. - Policy Approaches to Migration and Development. Interest in the relationship between migration and development is keen. Both the migration and development communities are seeking to know whether migration fosters or impedes development, whether development itself can cause the volume of migration to either increase or decrease, and, perhaps most important, how to ensure that migration is a positive force for development. This paper briefly outlines possible measures to minimize potential negative effects of migration and to harness the benefits of migration for development purposes, most notably with regard to financial and non-financial contributions of diasporas and migrants, and the circulation of skills. - Towards Policy Coherence on Migration. International attention is increasingly focused on the opportunities of migration - for national and international growth, development and stability - if effectively managed. While the need for policy coherence is relevant to most disciplines, it is particularly acute for migration in view of the multidisciplinary and transnational character of migration. This paper explores policy coherence in several spheres, including within governments, between states, among other stakeholders - such as international organizations, the private business sector, trade-unions and non-governmental organizations - and across migration and related policy domains. - Valuing Migration: Costs, Benefits, Opportunities, and Challenges. How can migration be managed effectively to enhance its benefits and reduce its costs? Which forms of migration are desirable, and should be facilitated and under what circumstances? Which forms are undesirable and need to be rechannelled? Just as the causes of international migration are complex, so too are the effects of these movements. Their impacts cannot be characterized as solely positive or negative. This paper, which draws on IOM's publication World Migration Report 2005, outlines issues for consideration in three key dimensions - (i) human, (ii) economic, (iii) social and cultural - and one major strategic concern - migration management.

by Kimberly Cassibry, History of Art Teaching Effectiveness Award Essay, 2004 In the highly charged natural and man-made geography of Rome, where a monument stood was very much part of the story. Ann Kuttner, “Some New Grounds for Narrative” in Narrative and Event in Ancient Art, 1993, p. 208. In recent lectures on monuments of the Roman Empire, my students had learned nuances of style, structure and subject matter. In my discussion sections, I needed to teach them the elusive significance of site. Unfortunately, slides and textbook illustrations divorce these monuments from their urban context and distort their relative scale. Plans of Rome are particularly problematic because the city has been continuously occupied for more than 3000 years. Even plans that peel away the layers of modern, Renaissance and mediaeval Rome tend to stop in late antiquity, and record the city as it looked in 300 CE, by which time most of ancient Rome’s monuments coexisted. I wanted my students to recognize the urban impact of such monuments as the Colosseum and Trajan’s Column, and to do that, I had to help them imagine the way Rome looked before these structures existed. I also wanted them to understand the power of association in Roman architecture. By the first century BCE, Rome had been occupied for over 600 years and leading citizens had left their mark on the city center. Rome’s emperors savvily exploited the various associations of these monuments by building near them. While studying in Rome, I had collected several large, foldout maps which showed the ancient city from different angles and from both the early (1st century BCE) and late (4th century CE) phases of the Roman Empire. Because students participate more actively in front of smaller audiences, I divided each discussion section into four groups of five students. I allocated each group a different map and a list of monuments from different periods of the empire. Each group had to point out the assigned sites to me before trading maps with a neighboring group and beginning the process again. Looking for these monuments on several different maps not only helped them see the city from different angles, it showed them which buildings coexisted, and which monuments, when added, disrupted former connections and created new ones. Now that I had connected the buildings horizontally, how could I restore a sense of the vertical cityscape? In general, the academic technology of art history (only slide projection gives us maximum resolution) lags behind the entertainment technology that undergraduates take for granted, especially video game animation. In a promising development, however, several virtual reality DVDs have recently resurrected ancient Rome, and their reconstructions permit the modern visitor to walk though different neighborhoods of the city. Students’ eyes always light up when I bring this new teaching tool into the classroom. For this section, I played an animated tour of ancient Rome’s city center once so that students could orient themselves, and subsequently ran the tour repeatedly while we discussed it. Because students respond better when I begin with a broadly framed question, I asked them what new information they were gaining from this digital reconstruction. “The buildings are all different heights.” “The buildings are not perfectly aligned — they look squished in.” This last comment lead to a discussion of why Roman emperors would prefer to build in the congested urban center rather than on airy tracts in the suburbs. Building on what they had learned from the maps, the students engaged in a lively and insightful discussion of the power of site association, one of the principles of Roman architecture I had hoped they would take away from that day’s section. Because discussion sections are interactive, the GSI receives instant feedback on the success of her lesson plan. In this case, the responses to the questions I asked during groupwork on the maps, and the dynamic discussion that followed the virtual reality tour showed me that the students had grasped the significance of monument location in ancient Rome.

At first blush, many people would probably love to get rid of insects, such as pesky mosquitoes, ants and roaches. But a new study indicates that getting rid of insects could trigger some unwelcome ecological consequences, such as the rapid loss of desired traits in plants, including their good taste and high yields. Specifically, the study showed that evening primroses grown in insecticide-treated plots quickly lost, through evolution, defensive traits that helped protect them from plant-eating moths. The protective traits lost included the production of insect-deterring chemicals and later blooms that gave evening primroses temporal distance from plant-eating larvae that peak early in the growing season.

FORTRAN is the oldest high-level do my Computer Graphics programming assignment and was first established in 1957 by John Backus (1924-2007), specifically matched for the purpose of numerical estimations and scientific computing. A program written in FORTRAN is utilized to evaluate the performance of computer systems for the TOP500 list. The GCC includes a FORTRAN compiler. The conception of FORTRAN, which established in the year 1957, obvious a crucial stage in the development of computer-programming languages. Earlier software design was written in maker (first-generation) language or assembly (second-generation) language, which provides the programmer to compose orders in hexadecimal or binary math. Avoidance with the challenging nature of such do my Computer Graphics programming homework led Backus to find for a simpler, more offered way to connect with computer systems. Throughout the three-year progress stage, Backus led a diverse team of 10 International Organisation Machines (IBM) employees to make a language that joint a type of English shorthand with algebraic formulas. By allowing the development of natural-language programs that ran as professionally as hand-coded ones, in late 1950s FORTRAN established as the programming language. It was modernized many of the times in the 1950s and 1960s in training to remain diffident with more extant Computer Graphics programming assignments. Features of FORTRAN language:. • Free source type. • User-defined (obtained) information types and operators. • Selection operations and features. • Generic user-defined treatments. • User interface obstructs. • Extensibility and redundancy. These both languages are typically merely languages. It's potentially simpler to find good Python understanding resources than excellent FORTRAN discovering resources since Python is utilized more broadly, and FORTRAN is currently measured a "specialized" language for mathematical computing. Now you can buy assignment aid at remarkable sale discounts and 100% Money Back Guarantee. In c/c++ programs you typically create.c files containing source code, and.h files containing the user interface to your code so that other source files can anticipate what remains in the source, which is then compiled entirely into libraries, object files, etc. In Fortran programs (90+), you can put code into different modules, and instead of explicitly composing a header/interface file for each one, the compiler will create interfaces for them and put them into different binaries (. mod files) in addition to the assembled things files. Developing libraries, object files, etc then requires you compile/link them together. If you have actually just graduated, then you might be looking for online assignment composing tasks.

Table of Contents Unlocking the Mysteries of Requests for Proposal: A Finance Blog Deep Dive When it comes to procuring services or products in the business world, the Request for Proposal (RFP) process is a critical tool that organizations use to solicit bids from potential vendors. An RFP outlines project specifics, requirements, and criteria for selection, providing a structured pathway for companies to compare offerings and secure the best possible deal. In this article, we'll explore the intricacies of RFPs, their importance in the financial sector, and how businesses can effectively navigate this complex process. Understanding the RFP Process The RFP process begins with the identification of a need within an organization. This need could range from a simple product purchase to a complex service agreement. The process involves several key steps: - Defining the project scope and objectives - Writing and issuing the RFP document - Receiving and evaluating proposals - Selecting a vendor and negotiating terms - Awarding the contract Each of these steps requires careful consideration and planning to ensure that the final selection meets the organization's needs both in terms of quality and cost-effectiveness. The Significance of RFPs in Finance In the finance industry, RFPs are particularly significant due to the complexity of financial products and services, as well as the regulatory environment in which financial institutions operate. An RFP allows a finance company to clearly articulate its needs, whether for banking services, investment management, insurance, or financial software solutions, and to ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations. Best Practices for Crafting an Effective RFP Creating an RFP that attracts high-quality responses involves several best practices: - Clarity: Clearly define the scope, objectives, and requirements of the project to avoid ambiguity. - Detail: Provide enough detail for vendors to understand the project but avoid overly prescriptive specifications that could limit innovative solutions. - Realism: Set realistic timelines and budget expectations to ensure that proposals are feasible. - Transparency: Outline the evaluation criteria and selection process to foster a fair and competitive bidding environment. By adhering to these practices, organizations can increase the likelihood of receiving proposals that are both aligned with their needs and competitively priced. Case Studies: RFP Success Stories Let's look at a couple of case studies where the RFP process led to successful outcomes: Case Study 1: A Major Bank's Technology Overhaul A leading bank issued an RFP for a new core banking system to replace its outdated technology. By clearly defining its requirements and desired outcomes, the bank received proposals from several top-tier vendors. The RFP process helped the bank not only to secure a state-of-the-art system but also to negotiate favorable terms that saved millions over the life of the contract. Case Study 2: A Financial Services Firm's Compliance Solution Facing stringent new regulations, a financial services firm used an RFP to find a compliance software provider. The firm's detailed RFP allowed it to thoroughly evaluate each vendor's ability to meet regulatory requirements, ultimately leading to a partnership with a provider that offered an innovative and cost-effective solution. Common Pitfalls to Avoid in the RFP Process While the RFP process can lead to great outcomes, there are common pitfalls that organizations should be aware of: - Lack of Internal Alignment: Failing to have a consensus on project goals and requirements can lead to an RFP that is vague or misaligned with organizational needs. - Overly Complex Documents: Creating an RFP that is too lengthy or complex can deter potential vendors from responding. - Insufficient Market Research: Not understanding the market can result in unrealistic expectations and a lack of competitive proposals. - Poor Communication: Inadequate communication with potential vendors can lead to misunderstandings and subpar proposals. By avoiding these pitfalls, organizations can streamline the RFP process and improve the quality of the responses they receive. Embracing Technology in the RFP Process Advancements in technology have transformed the RFP process, making it more efficient and effective. Digital platforms now allow for easier distribution of RFPs, more streamlined proposal submissions, and better collaboration among stakeholders during the evaluation phase.

मुंबई- मुख्यमंत्री देवेंद्र फडणवीस ने भरोसा दिलाया है कि राज्य सरकार मराठा समाज को आरक्षण देने के लिए कटिबद्ध है, इसके लिए कानूनी प्रक्रिया को जल्द से जल्द पूरा किया जाएगा। मराठा समुदाय के हिंसक आंदोलन के कारण राज्य सरकार पर दबाव बढ़ गया है। मसले का हल कैसे निकाला जाए, इसके लिए मुख्यमंत्री ने गुरुवार को सहयाद्री गेस्ट हाऊस में बुद्धजीवियों की बैठक बुलाई थी। बैठक के बाद पत्रकारों से बातचीत में मुख्यमंत्री ने कहा कि मराठा समाज को निर्धारित समयसीमा में आरक्षण दिया जाएगा। मराठा समाज के बुद्धजीवियों और मान्यवरों से बातचीत करने के बाद उम्मीद है राज्य में शांति स्थापित हो जाएगी। मुख्यमंत्री ने बताया कि मान्यवरों ने बैठक में आरक्षण पर कई सुझाव दिए हैं। उन सुझावों पर सरकार निश्चित विचार करेगी। आरक्षण देने के संबंध में सरकार सकारात्मक है। मराठा समाज को आरक्षण देने के संबंध में कानूनी प्रक्रिया शुरू है। इस बैठक में मुख्यमंत्री के अलावा राजस्व मंत्री चंद्रकांत पाटिल, शिक्षा मंत्री विनोद तावडे़, शिवसंग्राम पार्टी के विनायक मेटे, अभिनेता सयाजी शिंदे, अमोल कोल्हे, उद्योजक भैरवनाथ ठोमरे, कलादिग्दर्शक नितिन चंद्रकांत देसाई, इतिहासकार पांडुरंग बलकवडे, डॉ. आ. ह. सालुंखे, सुवर्ण कोकण संस्था के डॉ. सतीश परब मौजूद थे। बैठक का निमंत्रण छत्रपति शाहू महाराज, इतिहासकार जयसिंगराव पवार, प्रतापसिंह जाधव को भी दिया गया था। परंतु तीनों बैठक में शामिल नहीं हुए। तीनों का कहना है कि ५८ मोर्चे निकालने के बाद भी सरकार यदि मराठा समाज की भावना नहीं समझ सकी तो चर्चा करने का क्या तुक। कितनी बार चर्चा की जाएगी। मुख्यमंत्री ने दादर स्थित वसंत स्मृति कार्यालय में भाजपा के विधायकों के साथ भी बैठक कर उनका पक्ष जाना। शिवसेना, कांग्रेस और एनसीपी विधायकों की बैठक के बाद भाजपा ने भी अपने विधायकों के साथ बैठक आयोजित कर आरक्षण के मुद्दे पर मंथन किया। भाजपा की बैठक में लिंगायत, धनगर और मुस्लिम समाज के आरक्षण को लेकर भी विचार विमर्श किया गया। बताया जाता है कि आगामी दिनों में मुख्यमंत्री के नेतृत्व में भाजपा मंत्रियों और नेताओं की दिल्ली में भी बैठक होनेवाली है। भाजपा के राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष अमित शाह आरक्षण के संबंध में समीक्षा बैठक करेंगे। इधर सकल मराठा क्रांति मोर्चा के नेताओं का कहना है कि इस बैठक से हमरा कोई संबंध नहीं है। क्रांति मोर्चा के नेताओं ने गुरुवार को बैठक की। इस बैठक में आंदोलन की आगे की रणनीति बनाई गई।
Cryptology ePrint Archive: Report 2003/257 Trading Inversions for Multiplications in Elliptic Curve Cryptography Mathieu Ciet and Marc Joye and Kristin Lauter and Peter L. Montgomery Abstract: Recently, Eisentraeger-Lauter-Montgomery proposed a method for speeding up scalar multiplication on elliptic curves. That method relies on improved formulae for evaluating S = 2P + Q from given points P and Q on an elliptic curve. Compared to the naive approach, the improved formulae save a field multiplication each time the operation is performed. This paper proposes a variant which is faster whenever a field inversion is more expensive than six field multiplications. We also give an improvement when tripling or quadrupling a point, and present a ternary/binary method to perform efficient scalar multiplication.

Second graders will have homework most Monday through Thursdays. They will learn to write it in their agendas each day. Typically, for homework will be a math sheet to reinforce that days' lesson and a quick spelling review activity. Below is a typical night of homework: In Second Grade, we set a goal to read 10-15 minutes each night. We will work towards meeting our yearly goal of reading 25 books outside of the school day. One practice page of the days' lesson to reinforce skill and provide extra practice. Children may get a reteach sheet or enrichment sheet based on their level of understanding. Spelling words goes home on Monday. Monday-Wednesday: spelling practice, Thursday night: review words for spelling/dictation check on Friday.
It’s a kind of holy grail for physicists: a test for one of the discipline’s most elusive and most difficult to understand theories. For nearly half a century, physicists all over the world have been searching for ways to verify the theory. Towson University scientists have taken what may be a significant step in that search. “Scientists have joked about how string theory is promising…and always will be promising, for lack of being able to test it,” says James Overduin, professor in Towson’s Department of Physics, Astronomy and Geosciences and lead author on a paper about the test TU scientists are developing. The team includes TU students Jack Mitcham and Zoey Warecki. The paper was presented at the American Astronomical Society in Washington, D.C., Monday. String theory posits an explanation for the connection between all the forces in the universe. If it sounds overly broad, it is; string theory is nicknamed “the theory of everything.” Scientific theories need tests in order to be truly valid, and string theory hasn’t been testable because its effects involve sizes that are too small and energies that are too big. “What we have identified is a straightforward method to detect cracks in general relativity that could be explained by string theory, with almost no strings attached,” Overduin explains. For most people, the understanding of string theory goes about as far as CBS’s “The Big Bang Theory” can convey it. The very basic explanation of the complex concept is that all matter and energy in the universe is made of one-dimensional strings, a quintillion times smaller than the extremely tiny hydrogen atom. That means the strings are too small to detect indirectly, and finding signs of them in an instrument like a particle accelerator would require millions of times more energy than what was used to uncover, for example, the Higgs boson—a particle pivotal to the explanation and further proof of particle theory. The Higgs boson was posited in the 1960s, around the same time as string theory’s introduction; the boson’s identification was announced in 2012. The TU team’s string theory test borrows from Galileo and Newton. History holds that Galileo tested rates of acceleration by simultaneously dropping balls with different masses off the Tower of Pisa to demonstrate that, despite the weight difference, they would hit the ground at the same time. Newton later found that Jupiter and its moons, in their orbits, “fall” at the same rate of acceleration toward the sun. Much later, Einstein developed the theory of relativity when he recognized that gravity produces the same acceleration in all objects, regardless of their mass or composition. Overduin and his team use those understandings for their test because string theory posits violations of Einstein’s relativity. It asserts that there are other fields that couple with objects differently, depending on the objects’ composition. That makes them accelerate differently—even within the same gravitational field. But why does it matter? According to Overduin, the answer is nothing short of revolution. “Every time physicists have succeeded in unifying two different branches of physics, society has been transformed,” Overduin says. The Scientific Revolution was born of Newton’s unification of physics and astronomy. The Industrial Revolution—steam engines leading to train and boat transportation—began after physicists unified mechanics and heat. Electrification came when James Clerk Maxwell unified electricity and magnetism. Einstein’s relativity ushered in the Atomic Age, and then the Information Age, when relativity was unified with quantum mechanics. That leaves two parts of physics still unconnected: gravitation and everything else. Physicists believe unifying them, as a test of string theory could do, would spark yet another revolution. Towson University scientists might have something to do with that. “Expanded Solar-System Limits on Violations of the Equivalence Principle” (Overduin, et al)
5G is the next generation of cellular technology, an ultra-high-speed wireless standard that will, in theory, offer mobile data speeds of up to an order of magnitude faster than today’s fastest connections and virtually instantaneous response times. 5G’s marketing pitch is that it will enable the efficient movement of enormous amounts of data from connected devices to the Internet and between each other. The technology is important as connected devices become ubiquitous and the consumption of rich multimedia content continues to grow. But there are wide gaps between commercialization, implementation, and meaningful changes to the customer experience. That is particularly true in financial services, where FIs have many opportunities to improve their mobile offerings given existing technologies.
# What are the currency rules when lending money to a friend? Let's assume Alice lends `5000 EUR` to Bob for `three months` (because that's what Bob asked for). But Alice's bank account is in `USD`. So, on 1st of January 2018, Alice looks at the exchange rate of EUR/USD and sees it's `1.20`. On 1st of January Alice converts `6000 USD` to `5000 EUR` and gives them to Bob. After three months, on 1st of April, Alice will get the money back from Bob. Assuming they did not discuss about the currency issues, how much money will Alice get back from Bob, as the exchange rate was on 31 March `1.23`? Will Bob have to send to Alice `6000 USD` or `6150 USD` (5000 * 1.23)? Another case is if Bob's account is in yet another different currency (e.g. GBP). How would things work in that case? 1. Bob asks Alice for `5000 EUR`, because that's a common currency in that specific location (e.g. Europe), that both Alice and Bob understand. 2. 1st of January • `EUR/USD`: `1.20` • `EUR/GBP`: `0.88` • `USD/GBP`: `0.74` Alice takes from her bank `6000 USD` and Bob receives `4400 GBP` (6000 * 0.74, or 5000 * 0.88). 3. 1st of April • `EUR/USD`: `1.23` • `EUR/GBP`: `0.87` • `USD/GBP`: `0.71` Bob needs to send the money back to Alice. How much will Bob send and how much will Alice receive? Again, this assumes they didn't really talk about currencies on 1st of January. Bob asked for `5000 EUR`, Alice asked him if `6000 USD` is fine, he receiving `4400 GBP`, they agreed and the money was sent. Also, in this context we forget about bank fees and related stuff. But if we would take care of it, how would that modify the problem? • Is this a problem you are currently facing, or a homework problem? – JoeTaxpayer Apr 10 '18 at 18:22 • If you actually loaned money to a friend, it will likely never be repaid. You will be lucky to get anything back. Take whatever you can get. – Pete B. Apr 10 '18 at 19:13 • If they can´t figure that out for themselves, Bob and Alice seem rather stupid to me and should refrain from handling such large amounts of money! – Daniel Apr 11 '18 at 11:20 • Also, at least in Germany you are required to tax your income from interest - even if you failed to collect interest. The Finanzamt will then just estimate what kind of interest would have been in order. – Daniel Apr 11 '18 at 11:27 Your question need not be so convoluted. I actually don't care about the details of the exchange rate. There is one question that is unanswered - "What was the agreement?" Actually, the answer appears to be,"None". So there are 2 choices - • Alice is made whole. She gets back the value of currency she started with. If she started with \$XXX, that's exactly what she gets back. Bob needs to buy that amount of currency for her. • Bob pays out exactly what he got. Whatever currency he got, he pays that much out and Alice gets whatever the exchange rate gives her. You can add interest and/or exchange rate costs, and wind up with 8, 16, 32 permutations, but these 2 are really the start. Your question still appears contrived to me, especially with how you describe a potential third currency. If I were Alice, I seem to be at risk here, let Bob borrow locally where the lender can knock on his door to demand the money back. Alice and Bob need to agree. Either the loan is X Euros or Y dollars, and that needs to be agreed on to avoid trouble. If the currency changes other three months, then one of them might benefit or lose out, so agreement is essential to avoid arguments. If Alice is doing Bob a favour by giving a loan, then I would expect that they agree in such a way that Alice will get her money back and not lose out. Since her bank account is in US\$ (for example because she lives in the USA), the agreement would likely be that she gives Bob 6000 USD (so he receives the 5000 Euros that he needs), and after three months Bob takes whatever amount of Euros is needed, converts it to 6000 USD and pays Alice back. After three months, Bob may be lucky or unlucky and have to convert fewer or more than 5000 Euros. Of course they also might have an agreement that Bob pays her 2500 Euro plus 3000 dollars. PS. If they failed to discuss these things before handing over the loan, then things depend on how the exchange rate changes, and how much each one values their friendship. At the very least there should be a piece of paper specifying the amount of the loan in unambiguous terms (US\$ 6000 = fine, Euro 5000 = fine, "US\$ 6000 = Euro 5000" = asking for trouble. • As mentioned, they didn't talk about currencies. What should Alice/Bob assume? – Ionică Bizău Apr 10 '18 at 18:51 • I would assume in the case of no agreement it would be paid in the lender's currency. However, in your case I would assume euros as Bob asked for euros and Alice agreed. That is a de facto agreement in my opinion. – Pete B. Apr 10 '18 at 19:08 • I would assume in the case of no agreement Bob has the money, so he decides what happens. Good luck before court! – Daniel Apr 11 '18 at 11:23 • to @PeteB. 's point. I don't really agree for the following reason. (1) Bob and Alice know less than nothing about what they are doing. (2) "Bob asked for euros and Alice agreed" they both have not the slightest idea what they are talking about: what will happen here is that 7,113.25 USD will leave the bank of Alice. (3) if the stated (bizarre) scheme of "in Euros" was followed, Alice will look at her account one day and see an entry where she got some amount - far less than "7,113.25". ... (cont!) – Fattie Apr 11 '18 at 13:25 • ... someone will say "didn't we say Euros?" and that will just add vastly more confusion. (what about the (huge) fees anyway?) Alice will point to the two totally non-matching lines on her bank account and wonder what went wrong. (4) note that between two very sophisticated parties, you would never strike such a deal, it would be bizarre to "send and receive in Euros" (given, a sophisticate, w/ a USA bank account). (Again, don't even mention the fees.) (5) the only realistic way to treat the transaction is "as if Alice bought a jet-ski for Bob". "Replace" the line in her bank act. – Fattie Apr 11 '18 at 13:29 There is no correct answer, because there is no ‘rule’ about what should happen. It is completely between the two to agree on something. If they can’t agree and go to court, it depends on the country where they do that, and what its laws says. In other words, Alice will get whatever Bob sends her, and if they are still friends, they will discuss it and agree on a number, and if not, he might pick the borrowed amount in Euro, or the current value in \$, depending on how much he values her friendship or what he thinks is right. Typically you pay debt in the form it is received. If you receive euros you return euros regardless of value fluctuations unless there is some other stipulation in the note • Sorry, I'm still confused about this: how would you apply this to the example I've given? How much money will receive Alice and why? – Ionică Bizău Apr 10 '18 at 18:21 • Bob is going to return euros to Alice because that's what Bob received, unless there is some other agreement in place. Alice will receive 5,000 euros plus interest. Whatever happens when she swaps back to USD is on her, unless there was some other agreement in place. – quid Apr 10 '18 at 18:23 • As I mentioned, Alice cannot receive EUR because her bank account is in USD. So, should she receive `6150 USD`? – Ionică Bizău Apr 10 '18 at 18:25 • Alice converted her dollars to Euros at the start; why can't she convert back at the end? – DJohnM Apr 10 '18 at 20:28 • hi @IonicăBizău - you're wrong on many levels. For Alice to have sent "5000 eur" will have cost her some specific amount of USD, including all fees. She will have paid >>> in dollars <<<. Let's say, \$7002.00. In fact, Bob must ensure that Alice gets \$7002.00 USD back in her bank account. In fact Bob must >send< USD .. 7002.. Simple. – Fattie Apr 11 '18 at 0:18 Let's assume Alice lends 5000 EUR to Bob for three months (because that's what Bob asked for). But Alice's bank account is in USD. Let's say it cost Alice USD \$6855.25 - in total - to send the wire to Bob. Bob must repay USD \$6855.25 in to Alice' bank account. Note that it will cost, say, a few hundred Euro for Bob to achieve that (Bob will have to pay various fees); in the example to get USD \$6855.25 in to Alice' bank account, it might cost Bob say EUR 5,600. That's what Bob has to do. Note - I used the specific example of "5,600" EUR because it inevitably costs about 12% to do a pointless roundtrip like this, at civilian banking levels. What I explain is >>> exactly how it works <<< in all cases, including your more complex examples. Look through your very complex example. At one point you say: Alice takes from her bank 6000 USD (plus, about 80 USD fee - let's say 72.50) So, Alice spent 6,072.50 from her bank account, on something Bob needed. You tell me what she should get back? It does not make any difference at all that the "thing" she was buying for Bob is "currency". Imagine she was buying Bob a jet-ski he needed urgently for some reason. # "Alice buys Bob a jet-ski in Thailand for an emergency. It takes 6,072.50 from her bank account." You tell me how much she should get back. It's that easy! • You wrote “end of story” 4 times, but the answer only ended once. Confusing. End of comment. Or is it? – JoeTaxpayer Apr 11 '18 at 0:41 • It inevitably costs about 12 %’ - that’s complete nonsense. You should change your bank. – Aganju Apr 11 '18 at 2:15 • hi @Aganju. at around 5000, by the time you do the two way, with the fees and wire fees on each end, and you're talking a US (gag) bank, it will be 600 bucks. – Fattie Apr 11 '18 at 3:29 • I was not a DV. I try not to kid in a comment and also DV. A +1 for editing with respect to my comment. – JoeTaxpayer Apr 11 '18 at 12:09 • what is a "DV" guys? :O – Fattie Apr 11 '18 at 13:20
Biosphere reserves located in the Volga River Basin publish new posters The Volga River is the largest river system in Europe. It runs from northwest of Moscow for 3,700 km towards the Caspian Sea. Thirteen Russian biosphere reserves are located within the Volga River basin. To help raise awareness about their main characteristics, they have developed a series of posters. These include maps and images about populations, main species, ecosystems and socio-economic activities found within the reserves; information on useful publications and projects; and suggestions for their further sustainable development. At the beginning of the year, sixteen other Russian biosphere reserves published similar posters. More are being developed with the ultimate objective of producing a poster for each biosphere reserve of the Russian Federation. - Posters: Biosphere reserves located in the Volga River Basin - Posters: Biosphere reserves in the Russian Federation - Ecosystems protection and introduction of green economy principles in Biosphere Reserves of the Volga river basin <- Back to: All news

The Fruit Fun Game 1. Ask your little one to pick out their favorite fruits. If you have a well stocked fruit selection more than likely there will be at least two fruits of similar colours. 2. Lay them on the table and then ask them which piece of fruit is what color or vice versa. 3. Once they colour co-ordinate (lol) the fruit, start chopping and dicing it into pieces (parental supervision here). 4. My little one really likes being part of every step, so this is a good time to ask them to put the pieces of fruit into a bowl (seperating the colors). 5. Once complete, start snacking! 6. Wait...we are not done yet! This part is even more fun, ask your little one what each fruit tastes and feels like after they eat it. This can help add new words to their vocabulary and help them recognize differences in taste and texture. The great part about our game was that you can do this with vegetables too! My little one wasn't really into trying out different fruits. He immediately thought based on appearance that certain fruits wouldn't taste delicious. Keeping things fun, like color co-ordinating their favorite colours and letting them take part in the preparation of foods helps encourage them to try new foods. Red: Strawberries and Watermelon Yellow: Mangoes and Oranges Now go have fun with your little ones in the kitchen!
Q: I note that temperatures reported on The Weather Channel and elsewhere appear to be those recorded in the shade. Why wouldn't it be equally informative to report temperatures as recorded in direct sunlight? I have a remote thermometer. When the sun hits the thermometer directly, the reading is often above the officially reported highs by ten, or 15 degrees or more. Direct sunlight in mid-afternoon on hot days feels much more oppressive than the reported high temperature. Is the temperature reading in direct sunlight misleading? If so, why? If not, why isn't it just as informative for me to know how hot I'll be when standing unprotected in mid-afternoon on the Washington Mall or at a baseball field as it would be to know the temperature in the shade at the airport? A: This question is a good one because it goes to the heart of why we measure the weather, and also how we use the reported measurements. The photo above is an extreme example of what happens when the sun hits a thermometer directly. It was taken at the National Science Foundation's Summit research camp on Greenland's Ice Sheet, about 10,000 feet above sea level. The thermometer reads 80 degrees, and I am comfortable without a hot or gloves because no wind was blowing and the sun was warming me as well as the thermometer. But, even a slight breeze would have chilled me because an official thermometer in the shade at the same time and place would have read in the 20s (above zero Fahrenheit). This is because the air itself was in the 20s. In this case and the one you describe with your remote thermometer, the reading is the temperature of the thermometer itself, or the metal or maybe a black roof around the thermometer. The reading is not the temperature of the air, however. Meteorologists need the air's actual temperature at the surface — not the temperature of something warmed by the sun — for many of the calculations they need to do. (Today, it's almost always their computers that do the calculations.) For example, they need the air's temperature at the surface and upper levels and also the humidity to calculate the air's stability, which is needed to forecast the chance of showers or thunderstorms. (Related information: Temperature profile determines stability) If warm or cold air is behind a front, a meteorologist needs the air's temperature to calculate how warm, or cold, a place a couple of hundred miles away will be when the front moves past. (Related information: Cold fronts and warm fronts) The air travels behind the front, but the thermometer on the wall in Greenland or at your home stays in the same place, and the sun goes down or behind clouds. As you point out, the air's temperature isn't the entire story. In fact, in many cases those involved with different kinds of activities need to know more than the air's temperature. A good example is noted in a story I did last March on how Auto racers' winning equations include weather. In it, I give examples of how the temperature of the race track itself, the air right above the hot track, and the air 59 inches above the ground can change during the day. This affects the car's handling and the crew has to take these temperatures into account as the adjust the car for top speed. These temperatures are all likely to be different from an official thermometer at the track, but those who need these different temperatures measure them directly. Meteorologists have another reason for having standard ways of measure the air's temperature: They want to be sure that a reading of, say, 80 degrees means the same no matter where or when the measurement is taken. The thermometer in Greenland doesn't meet this requirement because its reading depends on whether the sun is shining on it. The need for an official thermometer to be in the shade doesn't mean you need to look for a nice shade tree to put your thermometer under. Instead, weather stations, whether they are operated by a weather service or an amateur observer, should include a instrument shelter. A common kind used by volunteer observers and some weather stations in the USA is called a cotton region shelter. Such a shelter is a white box — the white reflects away sunlight — with louvers, or slats, in the sides to allow the air to flow freely in and out. The shelter should be between 4 to 6 feet above the ground and at least 2 feet above the deepest snow around it. The thermometer should not be right on the ground because in cold weather, the temperature there can be much colder than just a couple of feet up, and isn't representative of the larger mass of air right above the ground. Today, the USA's major weather stations and most airports have automated observing systems. These don't include a cotton region shelter, but they do have shields to keep the sun from shining directly on the thermometers. Back to the part of your question about comfort: So many things go into determining how comfortable you feel that even a thermometer in the sun isn't likely to be a good guide. Some of the factors include the humidity, what kind of clothing you are wearing, what you are doing — running a marathon or sitting on the grass at a concert — how fast the wind is blowing and whether it's blowing from a hot or cool place. The heat index makes it possible to factor in the humidity, but the other variables are so complex that coming up with formulas is difficult. You can see, even something that seems as simple as temperature can become pretty complicated when you start looking into it in detail. You can learn more about not only temperature, but also all weather measurements by going to our weather measurements page. By Jack Williams, USATODAY.com
Soukara was an inhabited planet in the Soukara system. During the Dominion War, this planet was in Dominion-controlled space and was the location for a Dominion base. The planet had at least two moons and a nearby asteroid field, which could be used to penetrate the Dominion sensor grid undetected. The base was located in the middle of a jungle, and was protected by transport inhibitors. In 2374, Worf and Jadzia Dax were sent on a covert mission to Soukara to recover a Cardassian defector, Lasaran, who claimed to know the location and false identity of every Founder in the Alpha Quadrant. Unfortunately, Dax was severely injured by a Jem'Hadar patrol, and Worf chose to abort the mission to seek medical care for her. (DS9: "Change of Heart")
Harmsco is a company that was founded by John Harms in 1958. After moving from his home state of Ohio to Florida with his family, he used his experience in water filtration technologies and his unique filter design called the Up-Flow, to break into the market. When the patent for the Up-Flow Cartridge filters came out in 1968 and Harmsco began production, its many advantages became apparent. Soon customers started to take notice and sales grew as a result. The company kept growing, and at the moment Harmsco Hurricane Filters are known throughout the world. So how do they work? First of all, dense solid materials that would be found in the water are separated before they reach cartridge filtration. This leads to an increased filter life, which means lower maintenance cost. Cartridge filtration in a normal system is the reaction that the carbon in the filter has with the minerals found in water. This reaction retains these minerals, like calcium for example, and it replaces them with sodium, turning hard water into soft water. But this process depletes the carbon ions needed for the reaction, and after a time it renders the filter useless. With the Harmsco Hurricane Filters some of these minerals are retained before reaching the carbon, making it more economical and efficient. The Hurricane Filter has several more unique design choices that make it stand out. The first, which is discussed above, is the separation of the outer chamber and the inner chamber. Then you have a built-in drain for purging the system, if need be. The cartridges also have an angled pleated area, which leads to higher capacity and increased solid substances removal. And when the time to replace the filter does eventually come, the Hurricane Water Filter is designed in a way that allows it to be removed from the system and replaced without any hassle. The tangential entry of the Hurricane Filter provides rotational movement and a centrifugal force for better filtration and separation of the particles. The fail safe lid comes with wing nuts that can withstand pressures of over 100 psi when they are tightened at 75 lbs. of torque. The polish on the surface of the solid, stainless steel container is especially built to withstand corrosion as a standard, but if need be, extra coating can be added to protect the surface from various chemicals that might be found in the environment the Harmsco Filter will be placed in. If you are looking for something that can handle a large volume of water you have the Harmsco Industrial Filter, which maintains the same high-level of quality, but with added quantity. Of course, Harmsco Hurricane Filters range from those build for small, regular household use, to giant industrial monsters, and everything in between. As one of the world leaders in filter designs Harmsco can be found all over the world, from the Americas to Western and Eastern Europe.

This book is aimed at advanced undergraduates and new PhD students. It introduces the reader to advanced topics whilst maintaining the structure of a textbook which can be worked through be the student. Similar level textbooks can become a bit abstract, which means that they get harder to follow as you get into them, particular for a reader outside the usual academic environment. Here this problem is avoided by the use of examples from astrophysics to provide material for actual calculations, which help the reader to get to grips with the subject. The book starts with a rapid introduction to tensors, which might be a bit intimidating, but you don't really need to remember the symbolism to proceed with the book. The book is nearly 700 pages in length and so covers a wide area of cosmology and physics. There is a section of the book devoted to quantum field theory, and you might find this a good place to learn the subject as there are plenty of examples of how QFT is used in practice. In particular those wishing to find out about Hawking radiation and similar phenomena will find this book useful. The author provides plenty of discussion of alternative ideas in cosmology, which will be of great benefit for anyone wanting to know why the 'standard' cosmological model is favoured over other possibilities.

Revisiting the Need for Appointed Counsel Despite the complexity of immigration law and procedures, most immigrants in the United States facing removal lack legal representation. Although federal statute affords “the privilege of being represented,” to persons in removal proceedings, appointed counsel must be “at no expense to the government.” This brief examines the “no expense” restriction and its effect on case outcomes. It then outlines a number of ways in which legal representation could be increased without significant federal funding. The report finds that the lack of counsel has a pronounced, negative impact on case outcomes. Furthermore, recent changes in immigration law appear to have simultaneously increased the complexity of legal standards and raised the stakes for immigrants facing removal. The author argues in favor of an appointed counsel system, contending that particularly vulnerable immigrants—including indigent immigrants with viable claims to remain in the United States and asylum seekers whose case outcomes often carry life-or-death consequences—could greatly benefit from legal representation. He also proposes that legal representation serves the government’s interest by promoting better-prepared cases, more efficient proceedings, shorter detention periods, and correct legal decisions. The report then highlights three models that the government could adopt to increase legal representation: (1) a public defender-like system; (2) a pro bono representation model; and (3) a legal orientation program for detainees.
The reproductive success of brown trout Salmo trutta in White River, Arkansas, tailwater reaches is highly variable, resulting in the need for supplemental stocking. A better understanding of the physical and biotic factors affecting reproduction and survival would enhance the contribution of wild fish. We compared fecundity, reproductive chronology, physical habitat, water quality, trout density, food availability, diet, predation, and competitive interactions among four tailwater reaches to identify factors influencing brown trout reproductive success. The fecundity and condition factor of prespawning brown trout were significantly lower at Beaver Tailwater, a reach known for reproductive failure, than at other sites, among which no differences were found. Brown trout spawning was observed from 11 October to 23 November 1996, and juvenile emergence began on 28 February 1997. Significant among-site differences were detected for spawning and juvenile microhabitat variables, but the variables fell within or near suitable or optimal ranges reported in the literature for this species. Age-0 brown trout density differed significantly among sites, but growth and condition did not. Predation by Ozark sculpin Cottus hypselurus on trout eggs or age-0 trout of any species was not observed among the 418 stomachs examined. Ozark sculpin density and diet overlap with age-0 brown trout were highest and invertebrate food availability and water fertility were lowest at Beaver Tailwater relative to the other reaches. Our findings indicate that differences in trophic conditions occur among tailwater reaches, and a lower system productive capacity was identified at Beaver Tailwater. We suggest that management efforts include refining the multispecies trout stocking regime to improve production efficiency, enhancing flow regulation, and increasing habitat complexity to increase invertebrate and fish productivity. Such efforts may lead to improved natural reproduction and the increased abundance and quality of wild trout in this system and other regulated rivers.

Clustering methods:- : Clustering methods:- Clustering method can be divided into two types:- A) Hierarchical method. B) Partition method . A) Hierarchical method: - This method proceed successively by either merging smaller clusters into larger ones, or by splitting larger clusters. The clustering methods differ in the rule by which it is decided which two small clusters are merged or which large cluster is split. The end result of the algorithm is a tree of clusters called a dendrogram, which shows how the clusters are related. By cutting the dendrogram at a desired level a clustering of the data items into disjoint groups is obtained. Slide 12: B) Partitional method :- This method attempts to directly decompose the data set into a set of disjoint clusters. The criterion function that the clustering algorithm tries to minimize may emphasize the local structure of the data, as by assigning clusters .

From the beginning of the 18th century, there were a number of artists in the Renaissance tired of increasingly complicated color balance theory, or in other words, they raised questions about such too idealistic color, which was closely related to the rise of the Enlightenment. Joshua Reynolds (1723 to 1792) was a well known figure in the history of western painting, and the most famous classical painter in Britain and the founder and lifelong dean of the Royal College of Art. Meanwhile, he persistently insisted on the color theory of the Renaissance and actively practiced it. He made a lot of refinement and interpretation of Renaissance painting theory. He further proposed in the interpretation of Da Vinci's theory of color: excessive color should be avoided to use in a large space, particularly cool color, for this could cause the color mismatch of the whole picture. He even specially emphasized: blue and purple could not be put in a dominant position (from a historical point of view, there are few painters that dare to make such paintings). However, in the same period, another famous British classical painter Thomas Gainsborough (1727 to 1788) was an artist filled with the spirit of rebellion, who challenged traditional color theory by using his own works. In his The Blue Boy and A Woman In Blue Portrait Of The Duchess Of Beaufort, blue and purple took the dominant position and cool colors were used in a large space. These two exquisite works became an outstanding example of color use in the art history. At the same time, he also proved that the traditional theory was not unchangeable. In fact, it was the gradual breakthrough development of 18th century painting in the color and shape that created the conditions for the birth of the 19th century Impressionist paintings. From the 15th century to the 17th century, what artists were concerned about was how to unite the color in the works with spiritual theme, and pursue an ideal harmonious color. In the 18th century, artists began to recognize that even the colors of the real world were not always in perfect harmony, artists could create harmony in disharmony. In the 19th century, artists began to appreciate the essence of the higher level spirit of the Aristotelian aesthetics and know art was not a perfect reproduction of reality, because the art belonged to the feelings of the human spiritual aspects of life, therefore, it should be emotional rather than purely rational. When it comes to color and shape, in addition to the emphasis on harmonious basis points, Aristotle further pointed out: shapes and colors were actually affected by the viewers' emotional and spiritual feelings; in spite of the spatial relationships or color they were actually relative rather than fixed. Once this point was comprehended, the door to the contemporary art painting was open. In today's words, the color art after Impressionism was actually an impressional, emotional, and subjective color art. To date, the harmonious color theory of idealism in Renaissance painting theory has been broken down. But this breakthrough was not abandoned, it just rose to the emotional subjective level with more realism significance. Chinese people often said, "People dressed in red with green feel very ugly and even cry". But farmers in Shaanxi and Gansu province were usually dressed in red with green in the wedding celebration. In this case, it was more suitable than abrupt. Such an interesting phenomenon was quite similar to the contemporary color theory.
Resources: A Guide to Citing Sources in Classics General Guidelines & Frequently Asked Questions \|Why and how do I include quotations in my paper?\|\| Quotations are not substitutes for argumentation. They support your argument by providing evidence. The importance of quotations is not self-evident. Explain why you are introducing them and what conclusion a reader should draw from them. \|Why do we cite?\|\| Citing your sources has two main purposes: one practical; the other ethical. First, citations allow a reader to locate information that you quote or cite, allowing them to explore a topic further and to verify your interpretations and arguments. Secondly, you have an ethical responsibility to acknowledge when you use the words of others or have developed your arguments from the thoughts and work of other scholars. What are the most important What do I need to cite? When in doubt, cite. It is better to over-cite, than to risk unintentional plagiarism. Or better yet, ask your professor. You must cite whenever you are employing words or thoughts that are not your own. These could be a direct quotation, or a paraphrase. Common knowledge and non-controversial facts do not need to be cited. For example, the sentence, "The Battle of Salamis occurred in 480 BCE and was a decisive victory for the allied Greeks." contains common, uncontroversial knowledge and would not need to be cited. Can I cite Wikipedia or other anonymous on-line resources? No. Listen to Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, “For God sake, you’re in college; don’t cite the encyclopedia." The Internet contains a staggering amount of accurate, useful information--and just as much that is inaccurate, intentionally deceiving, or downright bizarre. Without attribution, you have no way of being sure of the authority of the information, or even who has provided it. \|What format do I use to cite in my paper?\|\| Because of the nature of Classical texts, as works that were composed long before printed editions (and even "pages"), they have a specialized format: Primary Sources (e.g. ancient texts) \|What if I'm citing the same source over and over?\|\| After giving the full citation the first time you use a source, you can use "Ibid." to indicate the same source. More on using Ibid. \|What format do I use in my Bibliography?\|\| The exact format of a work depends on the nature of that work. Here are links to examples of the most common types. If a type you need to site does not appear on this list, contact your professor. Quotations are not substitutes for argumentation but should support your argument by providing evidence. The importance of quotations is not self-evident. Explain why you are introducing them and what conclusion a reader should draw from them. FORMAT: For quotations over 2 lines long: omit quotation marks, indent 1 inch; single-space; do not reduce font size. PUNCTUATION: Commas and periods are placed inside quotation marks; colons and semicolons, outside quotation marks; dashes, question marks, and exclamation points appear inside quotation marks if they are part of the quotation. The closing quotation mark comes after all punctuation. OMITTING WORKS: If you omit words in a quotation, use an ellipse, three dots (…), or four at the end of a sentence. ERROR IN THE QUOTATION: If there is a grammatical or factual error in a quotation, you should insert “[sic]” immediately following the error. E.g. “In 1961 [sic], the Civil War began.” POETRY: In poetry, if you are citing a short passages (less than 2 lines), mark the divisions between verses: e.g. “Son of Atreus, the Greeks are out to make you, / My Lord, the most despised man on earth” – the “/” indicates a new line. EXAMPLES OF EFFECTIVE AND INEFFECTIVE USES OF QUOTATIONS: In Book 16, Achilles wishes that “all of them, Greeks and Trojans alike,/ Every last man on Troy’s dusty plain,/ Were dead, and only you and I were left/ To rip Ilion down, stone by sacred stone.” Talking to Priam, Helen describes Agamemnon: “He was also my brother-in-law—shameless bitch/ That I am—if that life was ever real” (3.190-1). COMMENT: These are just plot summary without argument. They fail to provide a context for the quotation and does nothing to advance the thesis. Moreover, in the first quotation line numbers are not provided, so the context of the quotation is even further obscured. In Book 16, Achilles reveals his disillusionment with the heroic ethos as he slips into fantasy, wishing that “all of them, Greeks and Trojans alike,/ Every last man on Troy’s dusty plain,/ Were dead, and only you and I were left/ To rip Ilion down, stone by sacred stone” (16.104-107). For Helen, like Achilles, the war has created a break with reality, as in her reminiscence about Agamemnon: “He was also my brother-in-law—shameless bitch/ That I am—if that life was ever real.” (3.190-1) Her life before Troy has now faded to a dream. COMMENT: Here the quotations are adequately contextualized and cited, and clearly used to support a specific contention that advances an argument. EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF QUOTATIONS: 1) As Ovid says, "In nova fert animus mutatas dicere formas" (Met. 1.1). COMMENT: Here, a short quotation is given in quotation marks and is not set apart from the text of the analysis; the title is italicized and abbreviated with a standard abbreviation, and then the book number is given followed by the line number. A period is the standard way to separate book and line numbers. 2) As Ovid says, My intention is to tell of bodies changed To different forms; the gods, who made the changes, Will help me -- or so I hope... (Met. 1.1-3). COMMENT: Here, the quotation is long, and so it is indented. Line breaks are preserved. The citation is essentially the same in format as in the previous example, except that several verses are quoted, and so we have 1-3 instead of just 1 for the line number. 3) As Ovid says, "bodies changed / To different forms..." (Met. 1.1-2). COMMENT: In this example, a short passage is cited that includes a line break. 4) In his Symposium, Plato depicts a very interesting speech by the historical figure Alcibiades (215a3-218b7). COMMENT: This citation is not quoting any of Plato directly, it just tells the reader where in the Symposium this speech can be found. When you refer to something without quoting it directly, you should usually still give a citation telling your reader where to find the passage you are referring to. Citing ancient sources (i.e. primary literature) Classics uses a specialized, precise method of citiation. The proper format for citing classical texts: [Author], [Title] [Book/Section.(Poem, if applicable)].[Line #s cited] \|Homer, Iliad 18.141-143. Sophocles, Antigone 904-922. \|Horace, Odes 4.1.1-4. Vergil, Eclogues 1.1-10. \|Cicero, First Catilinarian 14.2. \|\|Plato, Symposium 215a3-218b7.\| Omitting Name of Work: If an author wrote only one work, you may omit the name of the work; for example: Herodotus 9.1; rather than Herodotus, Histories 9.1. Abbreviations: Most classical authors and texts do have standard abbreviations that you may want to employ; these can be on page xxix ff. of the Oxford Classical Dictionary (DE5 .O9 2003) or on-line at UNC's Ancient World Mapping Center. Capitalization: If you are generically citing a specific book in a work, capitalize both elements (Book Eighteen or Book 18 or Book XVIII); generic references, such as “several books in the Iliad,” should not be capitalized. NOTE: If you are including a parenthetical citation at the end of a sentence – e.g. (Homer, Odyssey 1.1-3) – the period always follows the citation. Citing Secondary Sources The format differs slightly for citations that appear embedded in body of the paper and those that appear in the footnotes. Always include author, date, and page numbers. Your readers can then consult your Bibliography for the full citation of the work. For citations in your text proper (rather than in a footnote), surround the information with parentheses and place before the final punctuation of the sentence. "Ibid." is an abbreviation of ibidem (note the period at the end of Ibid.), which is Latin for "in the same place." It indicates that you are continuing to refer to the last source you mentioned. If you are referring to both the same source and page number, you need only put "Ibid." in your citation; if, however, you are citing the same source but a different place in that text, use Ibid. and add the new page number--e.g. Ibid., 120. \|1 Blundell 1992, 118.\| \|2 Ibid.\|\|this indicates that the second reference refers to the same work and page number\| \|3 Ibid., 120.\|\|[referring to the same work (Blundell 1992), but a different page number.\| \|4 Highet 1999, 203.\|\|Reference to a different work requires a new full citation.\| \|5 Blundell 1992, 118.\|\|Even though you have previously referred to this work and page number, because it is not the immediately preceding citation, the full citation must be given again.\| \|6 Ibid., 120.\| Formats to use when citing a work in your bibliography A Book with One Author Last name, First Name.

Introduction to Taker Protocol Taker is a decentralized NFT lending protocol. For NFT holders, they can instantly borrow liquidity on Taker Protocol. And for lenders, they can lend their funds on the Taker protocol to earn long-term returns. Taker provides a highly capital-efficient multi-NFT collateral lending pool, referencing the floor price of each NFT collection, allowing NFT holders to mix their various NFTs as collateral to borrow ETH. Taker categorizes NFTs into Blue Chip NFT lending pool and Growth NFT lending pool based on their risk profiles, allowing fund providers to choose different lending pools based on their risk and return preferences. - 1.Unmet NFT lending demand: In the current cryptocurrency market, NFTs are undeniably the most popular and highly engaged assets. However, many NFT holders primarily focus on trading activities. After acquiring NFTs, they either wait for appreciation to sell them or passively endure the devaluation. Meeting the lending demand for NFTs is crucial as it can significantly contribute to price stability. This is precisely why Taker was created. - 2.Unaddressed lending demand for non-blue-chip NFTs: Existing lending products mainly cater to blue-chip NFTs, which are highly-priced. However, there is a much larger demand for lending services for non-blue-chip NFTs. At Taker, we strive to balance risk considerations and meet the lending needs of a broader user base. Our goal is to provide comprehensive lending solutions that cater to a wide range of NFT assets, going beyond the realm of blue-chip assets. - 3.Limited collateral options: When it comes to borrowers, evaluating their repayment capacity is paramount. Traditional Web3 lending products typically assess collateral value directly within the protocol. However, for holders of multiple NFT assets, we consider their overall repayment capacity. In the pool lending market, we enable mixed collateral options to prevent liquidation solely based on the price fluctuations of a specific NFT collection. This approach takes into account the borrowers' comprehensive ability to repay. - 4.Inefficient liquidation processes: Some existing NFT lending products still rely on auction-based liquidation processes, which may not be optimal in terms of capital efficiency. Our goal is to provide liquidation methods that align with high capital efficiency. With Taker, we enable direct liquidation of unhealthy collateral from borrowers. While the multi-collateral approach mitigates liquidation risks, immediate liquidation requires users to consider various factors, reducing the risks for fund providers. - 1.Instant Loans: Taker's lending pools support instant loans, where all NFTs in the Supported Collections are treated as fungible assets. The loan amount for each individual NFT is determined by multiplying the floor price of the Collection with the Loan To Value ratio. - 2.Lending for Non-Blue-Chip NFTs: We support some great NFT assets which is non-blue-chip NFTs, but with an active community and wide awareness by the market, also known as Growth NFTs. In the future Taker token holders can vote to add or delete the NFT Collections in Growth NFT lending pool. - 3.Risk Isolation: To ensure risk isolation, the ETH provided by lenders is not shared between the Blue Chip NFT and Growth NFT pools. Additionally, the Growth NFT pool has different interest rate parameters compared to the Blue Chip NFT pool. - 4.Mixed Collateral: While Blue Chip NFTs and Growth NFTs have separate collateral pools, within each pool, the collaterals are mixed， e.g. your BAYC and MAYC collateral are mixed in the blue-chip lending pool. Borrowers have the flexibility to increase their collateral options to enhance their ability to withstand liquidation. - 5.High Liquidation Efficiency: Liquidators have the ability to directly liquidate unhealthy borrowers' NFT assets, with one NFT being liquidated at a time. This approach is more efficient than auctions and incentivizes liquidators to take proactive actions.

SIEF supports Big-Data Knowledge Discovery: Machine Learning meets Natural Science. In every research area the size of data is exploding faster than current tools allow scientists to interpret it. Many future scientific insights are likely to be buried ever more deeply, and subtlety, in ever larger amounts of experimental data. However, this kind of data-centric research is a game changer for science, so there is a need for development of new techniques for handling, deciphering, analysing and making sense of this vast quantum of valuable data that is being collected. The Big Data Knowledge Discover Project is developing new methods and tools for applying machine learning in the natural sciences, using three case studies. The case studies involve: improving the understanding of the motions of tectonic plates in geology; modelling how different plant traits allow plants to effectively compete for resources in forest ecosystem; and the development of tools to explore and understand complex laser systems, looking for new laser applications. This research initiative brings together leaders in Information and Communications from National ICT Australia Limited (NICTA) and SIRCA limited with world class discipline leaders in the data-intensive sciences of Geo Sciences, Life Sciences and Physical Sciences (Macquarie University and University of Sydney). The tools and techniques to create, manage and analyse massive amounts of scientific data have only recently been released. By developing breakthrough tools, the Project is enabling new ways to interpret and draw insight from these massively big data sets. - Establish “Big Data” best practices in a range of natural science disciplines ensuring a consistent framework is used - Open access to the technologies allows for translation of application into other fields - Enable machine learning on large geophysical datasets combined with the plate tectonic history of the earth, to drive discovery of resources that are buried under cover, leading to greater economic value from as yet - Understanding drivers of forest diversity enables forest structure and biodiversity to be predicted for the first time, from first principles, allowing better and more sustainable management of the earth’s forests. - By using the ‘virtual’ techniques of machine learning and data driven experimentation, discovery of new functionality in laser systems is possible without the need to undertake complex and exhaustive investigations. This will lead to the fast-tracking of industrially useful applications for potential use in areas such as communications and

Answer: The study of development of an organism from an embryo is known as embryology. On studying the embryology of several vertebrates, you will get strong evidence of different vertebrates showing striking similarities. There are obvious similarities between embryos of fish, amphibians, birds, mammals and reptiles. If you compare the embryos of vertebrates you will see that all these organisms have gil sets even if they do not remain later on in life. Only for the fish, the gils remain. This further substantiates the idea of a common ancestor for these organisms. Other common features in the embryos but not in the adult form of these organisms are the limb buds of dolphins and the human tail buds. This adds to the belief that these organisms share an ancestor. For this reason, the developmental process remains the same for all these organisms even in spite of the modifications following their divergence. v. What are the two types of nerves? Write their functions. Answer: There are two different types of nerves. One helps to carry the impulses from the brain to the sensory organs and are known as efferent nerves. Meanwhile, the other kind, afferent nerves carry the impulses from the sensory organs back to the brain. vi. What would be the consequences of the deficiency of haemoglobin in the human body? Answer: Haemoglobin is the respiratory pigment responsible for transporting the oxygen to the body cells for cellular respiration. For this reason, the deficiency of haemoglobin in blood can affect the oxygen supplying capacity of the blood. This could cause deficiency of oxygen in the blood cells, thus resulting in a disease known as anaemia. 4. Attempt any one of the following: i.

Chemical formula of cryolite is Na3AlF6. Ii.d. It is necessary to replace anodes from time to time as it gets easily oxidised as a result of the oxygen that evolves at it.
Lies in the Skies In 1969, when the United States claimed and broadcasted on television that they landed man on the Moon they lied. The spacecraft entered space however, it never made it to the Moon. The United States was involved in a race to the Moon with the Soviet Union and felt it was necessary to win no matter what had to be done. With ample evidence and the confessions told by some workers and astronauts who were involved in the NASA program, it is clearly evident that the United States never landed spacecraft nor man on the surface of the Moon. President John F. Kennedy shocked most people when in 1961 he explained to the world that America will land a man on the Moon before the decade was out. His statement was most shocking to many of the employees who worked in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It surprised them because they were assigned this task, which was called Project Apollo, and NASA was only two years old and had not gathered much information on space exploration nor the Moon since organizing in 1958. In 1961, Robert Gilruth, who was the Director of Space Task Group at NASA during Project Apollo said, "Flying man to the Moon requires an enormous advance in the science of flight in a very short time. We need a breakthrough in reliability and new methods of staging and handling. Voyaging in space over such vast distances is still a dream"ÃÂ (Ertel and Ivan 64). Over the next eleven years, NASA spent 25.4 billion dollars in attempting to make Project Apollo real. Many individuals believe that American astronauts have been walking the Moon since 1969. There is however, and appalling amount of evidence that proves this to be a fib.
Unraveling the Mystery: Why Does My Cat Shed So Much? Has your feline friend been leaving a trail of fur around your home lately? You may be asking yourself, "Why is my cat shedding so much?" This is a common concern among cat owners, and you're not alone in seeking answers and solutions. Firstly, it's important to understand that shedding is a natural process for cats. It's their way of removing dead hair from their bodies and maintaining their coats. But when the shedding seems excessive, it could be a sign of underlying issues such as nutritional deficiencies, environmental factors, or health problems. What Causes So Much Shedding in Cats? Various factors can contribute to your cat shedding more than usual. Changes in seasons, for instance, can cause increased shedding. Cats usually shed more during spring as they lose their winter coat, which can seem like a lot of hair, but it's generally normal. Nutritional issues can also cause excessive shedding. Cats need a balanced diet rich in proteins and omega-3 fatty acids to maintain a healthy coat. If their diet lacks these essential nutrients, it could lead to increased shedding. For instance, a product like Absolute Holistic Grain-Free Dry Cat Food - Coat Care can provide the necessary nutrients to keep your cat's coat healthy and reduce shedding. Stress, allergies, or underlying medical conditions like parasites or skin conditions can also lead to excessive shedding. If you notice any signs of discomfort like excessive scratching, licking, or skin redness along with shedding, it's crucial to consult a vet. How Much Shedding Is Too Much for a Cat? There's no definitive answer as the amount of shedding varies from cat to cat, depending on their breed, age, and health. However, if your cat's shedding has increased suddenly or is accompanied by other symptoms like bald patches, changes in behavior, or weight loss, it may be a cause for concern. Should I Be Concerned if My Cat Is Shedding a Lot? Excessive shedding isn't always a cause for alarm, but it's important to monitor your cat's behavior and physical health. If the shedding is associated with other symptoms like skin irritation, changes in appetite or behavior, or noticeable thinning of the coat, you should seek veterinary advice. How Do I Stop My Cat From Shedding So Much? While you can't completely stop a cat from shedding, you can manage it effectively with the right approach. A well-balanced diet plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy coat and minimizing excessive shedding. Including high-quality, nutrient-rich food like Absolute Bites Freeze Dried Cat Patties in your cat's diet can help enhance their coat health. Regular grooming is also essential. Brushing your cat's fur regularly not only helps remove dead hair but also distributes skin oils throughout the coat, keeping it healthy. In conclusion, shedding is a natural part of a cat's life, but excessive shedding can be managed with the right diet, regular grooming, and prompt medical attention when necessary.
"Securing Remote Workers: Essential Measures" Title: Securing Remote Workers: Essential Measures Greetings, Cybersecurity Enthusiasts! In today's digital world, remote work is no longer a rarity but a norm. The COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated this trend, with businesses globally adopting remote work models to sustain operations. However, this transition has opened up a Pandora's box of cybersecurity challenges. As we navigate this new terrain, it is imperative to ensure that our remote workforce is secure. In this blog post, we will delve into some essential measures to secure remote workers. 1. Implement Strong Authentication Measures: A robust authentication system is the first line of defense against cyber threats. With remote work, the risk of unauthorized access to your company's digital resources increases. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) to add an extra layer of security. MFA requires users to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a resource, making it harder for cybercriminals to breach. 2. Secure Wi-Fi Networks: Remote workers often rely on their home Wi-Fi networks, which may not be as secure as corporate ones. Encourage employees to set strong, unique passwords for their Wi-Fi networks and to update their routers' firmware regularly. If possible, the use of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) should be mandated for all work-related activities to encrypt data and hide users' IP addresses. 3. Regular Software Updates: Outdated software can have vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit. Ensure that all devices used for work have the latest security patches and updates. Automating software updates can be a practical solution to ensure that all devices are up-to-date. 4. Anti-Malware Protection: Every device used by remote workers should have updated anti-malware software. This software should be capable of protecting against viruses, ransomware, and other forms of malicious software. 5. Security Awareness Training: Human error is a significant factor in many cybersecurity breaches. Regular training programs can help employees recognize and respond appropriately to phishing attempts, suspicious links, and other common cyber threats. 6. Encrypted Communications: Sensitive data, when transmitted, should always be encrypted. Use communication platforms that offer end-to-end encryption to ensure that your data cannot be intercepted and read by unauthorized individuals. 7. Implement a Zero Trust Model: Under a Zero Trust model, every login attempt is treated as if it originates from an untrusted network, regardless of where it is actually coming from. This approach requires all users to be verified and authenticated before gaining access to
320. Clustering at the GP and practice level in individually randomised studies – a review of 10 years of primary care trials - Principal Investigator: Beth Stuart - 1 April 2016 to 30 November 2016 - Project No: 320 - Funding round: FR 11 People who attend the same GP Practice or see the same GP are known to be more similar to one another than people who attend another Practice or see a different GP. This is known as a clustering effect. When we do a clinical trial, we need to take into account this clustering, or similarity, both when we decide how many people we need to recruit and when we analyse the data. If we don't do this, we may end making incorrect judgements about whether an intervention or treatment worked. This study aims to look back at 20 studies with data collected over 10 years from patients in GP practices, to measure how similar people are with respect to important outcome measures such as weight, depression, quality of life, etc. This will help to ensure that future studies recruit the right number of people. The study also aims to compare the results we would get if we took these similarities into account with those we would get if we just ignored them. This will help us to understand whether this clustering tends to impact the judgements we make about whether treatments are effective or whether its impact is small enough that we can ignore it.

The rapid growth of Location-based Social Networks (LBSNs) provides a great opportunity to satisfy the strong demand for personalized Point-of-Interest (POI) recommendation services. However, with the tremendous increase of users and POIs, POI recommender systems still face several challenging problems: (1) the hardness of modeling complex user-POI interactions from sparse implicit feedback; (2) the difficulty of incorporating the geographical context information. To cope with these challenges, we propose a novel autoencoder-based model to learn the complex user-POI relations, namely SAE-NAD, which consists of a self-attentive encoder (SAE) and a neighbor-aware decoder (NAD). In particular, unlike previous works equally treat users' checked-in POIs, our self-attentive encoder adaptively differentiates the user preference degrees in multiple aspects, by adopting a multi-dimensional attention mechanism. To incorporate the geographical context information, we propose a neighbor-aware decoder to make users' reachability higher on the similar and nearby neighbors of checked-in POIs, which is achieved by the inner product of POI embeddings together with the radial basis function (RBF) kernel. To evaluate the proposed model, we conduct extensive experiments on three real-world datasets with many state-of-the-art methods and evaluation metrics. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our model.
Effects of Tip Injection and Mie Vanes on the Performance of a Model Wind Turbine Rotor MetadataShow full item record This paper presents the results of an ongoing experimental investigation of the effects of tip injection, as well as V-shaped Mie Vanes on the performance of a model wind turbine rotor. Experiments are conducted by placing a three-bladed horizontal axis wind turbine rotor at the exit of an open-jet wind tunnel facility. It is observed that tip injection has significant effects on the power and thrust coefficient variations especially at higher TSR values beyond max CP TSR. Results of the effects of tip injection as well as Mie vanes on the power and thrust coefficient variations with Tip Speed Ratio (TSR) for several wind speeds and comparisons with baseline data will be presented in the final paper.
Describe an Aggregate or Vulnerable Population within a Community that is at Risk for Health Problems. Describe an aggregate or vulnerable population within a community that is at risk for health problems.This assignment focuses on the identification of a health-related problem, issue, or health risk of a selected aggregate and the establishment of collaborative partnerships with the diverse community and inter professional teams to address the needs and influence change for the selected population. Follow these instructions for writing your Community Needs Assessment. This assignment should be no more than 12 pages, (excluding title page, abstract, and reference list). Throughout the paper, provide supporting evidence from at least ten (10) current references, including at least three (3) non-nursing resources (graded in Integration of Evidence and Theory section of rubric).

Hi there, how about a close cousin to yesterdays Visual Basic function? In a previous post we showed you a function that will tell you whether or not a file does indeed exist. Well, here is another similar function, but it tells you whether or not a directory exists. This is another handy tool for all you code monkeys out there. It works much the same way, check it out below: Public Function fDirExists(ByVal DirName As String) As Boolean Dim TempAttr As Integer On Error GoTo ErrorDirExist TempAttr = GetAttr(DirName) fDirExists = TempAttr GoTo ExitDirExist ErrorDirExist: fDirExists = False Resume ExitDirExist ExitDirExist: On Error GoTo 0 End Function Does that look familiar?? It should! OK, you call it just like the other one, here take a look: if fDirExists("c:\windows") then ' Hey, it's there else ' Nope, not there end if Pretty simple, it returns true or false and lets you make informed decisions in your code. Keep up the hacking kiddies!
The climatology in western Chester County is quite different compared to the eastern part of the county, which means the weather can be a lot different too. For instance, during the winter months, the western portions of the county can receive a lot more snow than the eastern sections. When this situation arises, we can now issue a warning just for the western portion of the county if we think snow will be heavier there than in the east. This holds true for other types of hazardous weather as well, such as excessive heat, where the more urban areas in the eastern section of the county experience higher temperatures than in the west. Population density also plays a role because the effects of hazardous weather become more problematic as the number of people affected increases. Show All Answers
Patreon will now give you your earnings in advance — for a small price. It’s called Patreon Capital, and it’s actually a cash advance against future earnings. Some artists are comparing this to predatory “payday loans” and others are conjuring scenarios in which artists use these funds to cover medical expenses. Given what we know, neither of these interpretations are very accurate. So let’s take a look at what’s actually happening, and see if we can reach a more reasonable understanding.The content you are trying to access is only available to members.
जैसे ही सरकारी विभागों को पता चला कि नेताजी उनके मंडल में पड़ने वाले बाढ़ग्रस्त क्षेत्र का औचक दौरा करने आने वाले हैं तो उनके हाथ-पांव फूल गए। यार! ये नेता भी न! जब देखो! हमारी भली-चंगी नींद खराब कर देता है। उस मंडल के सरकारी विभागों के हर अफसर को यह भी पता था कि नेताजी को सबसे अधिक कुछ पसंद है तो बस भाषण सुनने के लिए श्रोता। वे चाहे जिंदे हो, चाहे मरे हुए। पिछली दफा उन्होंने वहां के श्मशानघाट के जीर्णोद्धार के मौके पर क्या गजब का भाषण दिया था कि वहां जले वाह! वाह! कर उठे थे। जहां पर उन्हें उनके नंबरमाफिक श्रोता उनका भाषण सुनने को न मिलें, वे वहां के सरकारी विभागों के अफसरों की ऐसी क्लास लगा कर रख देते हैं कि पूछो ही मत। भले ही अपने आप वे कभी क्लास में न गए हों। नेताजी का बाढ़ग्रस्तों को सांत्वना देने का कार्यक्रम ज्यों ही फाइनल हुआ तो सब अफसरों को पता होने के बाद भी एहतियातन नेताजी के पीए ने सबको फैक्स कर साफ कर दिया कि वे अबके बाढ़ के बीच बाढ़ग्रस्तों को बाढ़ में संबोधित कर इतिहास रचना चाहते हैं। भीड़ कम न हो वरनाहालांकि दूसरी ओर अफसरों को पता था कि बाढ़ से डरकर अब वहां बचे ही कितने हैं। जो जैसे-कैसे बाढ़ से बचे थे, वे अपने-अपने रिश्तेदारों के जा चुके थे। सरकारी विभागों के अफसरों ने तब बहुतों से अपने घर छोड़ कर वहां से जा चुकों से निवेदन भी किया कि हे बाढ़ से अपने बूते पर बचे शेष जीवो! नेताजी तुम्हें संबोधित करने आ रहे हैं। आज की ध्याड़ी ले लो, पर अपने प्यारे बाढ़ग्रस्त क्षेत्र में केवल एक बार आओ तो सही! देखो, तुम्हारे गिरे घर तुम्हें पुकार रहे हैं। देखो! बाढ़ में डूबकर मरे मवेशी तुम्हें पुकार रहे हैं! पर कोई भी वहां आने को तैयार न हुआ। होता भी क्यों, उसी बाढ़ से तो वे जान बचाकर भागे थे जैसे-कैसे। औरसरकारी विभागों की अपील अबके फिर बेकार गई। तब हर विभाग के खाला अफसर ने एक सा ही सोचा कि क्यों न! अपने ही विभाग के कर्मचारियों को उनके परिवार सहित फटे-पुराने कपड़े पहना बाढ़ के पानी में कुछ देर के लिए नेताजी के सामने खड़ा कर दिया जाए! वे सरकारी कर्मचारी हैं, जनता नहीं। किसी और के प्रति ईमानदार होना उनका दायित्व बनता हो या न, पर सरकार के प्रति ईमानदार होना उनका नैतिक दायित्व है। वैसे भी वे साल के बारह महीने हराम की ही तो खाते हैं। नेताजी के लिए एक दिन जो घंटा-दो घंटा बाढ़ के पानी में खड़े हो लेंगे तो कौन से मर जाएंगेऔर सब सरकारी अफसरों ने आपस में बात कर तत्काल यह आदेश निकाल डाले-विभाग के तीसरी श्रेणी के कर्मचारी से लेकर फर्स्ट क्लास तक सबको सूचित किया जाता है कि कल नेताजी हमारे क्षेत्र के बाढ़ग्रस्त इलाके का दौरा करने वाले हैं। उनकी दिली इच्छा है कि हम सब कल सुबह दस बजे शार्प तय बाढ़ग्रस्त क्षेत्र के पानी के बीच इकट्ठा हो जाएं। और हो सके तो जिन-जिन की फाइलें हमारे ऑफिस में फांसी का फंदा लगाने को तैयार हैं, उन्हें भी आदेश दिया जाए कि वे जो कल अपने-अपने परिवारों, रिश्तेदारों के साथ, अपने पड़ोसियों के साथ वहां पहुंचेंगे तो उनकी बरसों से धूल फांकती फाइलों की धूल परसों दस बजे ऑफिस खुलते ही झाड़ दी जाएगी। जो हमारे विभाग का कर्मचारी अपने साथ अपने परिवार के अलावा जितने बंदे और लाएगा उसे उतने दिन का विशेष अवकाश दिया जाएगा। जो इस आदेश में कोताही करेगा, झूठा तो झूठा, सच्चा मेडिकल प्रस्तुत करेगा, उसके खिलाफ कड़ा अनुशासनात्मक एक्शन लिया जाएगा। विभागीय आदेश सुन सारे सन्न! पर हो कुछ नहीं सकता था। अपने-अपने विभाग की इज्जत का सवाल था, सो सब अपने पूरे परिवार को फटे-पुराने कपड़े पहना नौ बजे बाढ़ वाली तय जगह पर अपने-अपने हाथों में ऑल आउट ले बाढ़ के पानी में खड़े हो गए। रेस्ट हाउस में जीभर भक्षण करने के बाद नेताजी के स्वागत के लिए आए अफसरों से पूछा, तो कितने लोग हैं बाढ़ के पानी में हिम्मत से खड़े बाढ़ के पानी के बीच मेरा क्रांतिकारी भाषण सुनने को बेताब? सर! कम से कम यही कोई दो-तीन हजार तो होंगे ही। सर! वे सब बेसब्री से आपका इंतजार कर रहे हैं सर कि आप कब जैसे वहां पहुंचे और आपके ओजस्वी विचार उनके पानी में डूबे दिमाग में क्रांति ला दें। अब आप जो उन्हें संबोधित करने चलें तो वे पानी से बाहर निकल अपने-अपने नजदीक के हॉस्पिटल को जाएं। गुड! इतने बच गए इस बाढ़ में अबके भी? हमने तो सुना था कि मतलब मीडिया सनसनी फैला रहा था। सर! मीडिया का काम तो है ही सनसनी फैलाना! जो तिल का ताड़ न बनाए वह मीडिया ही काहे का! सर! बच तो और भी जाते, पर क्या है न कि हमारी सरकारी मोटर वोटों का डीजल खत्म हो गया था। डीसी साहब ने सिर नीचा किए कहा तो नेताजी मुस्कुराते बोले, होना भी चाहिए। ऐसा होने से ही तो जनसंख्या नियंत्रण में होती है डियर! तो अब चलें। जी सर! डीसी साहब के कहते ही उन्होंने अपना पायजामा खोलकर उनको थमाया तो डीसी साहब ने पूछा, सर ये क्या? बिन पायजामे के? नेता बिन पायजामे के ही अच्छा लगता है। नंगी जनता के बीच पायजामा पहन कर जाओ तो उसे बहुत बुरा लगता है भाई! हम इतने इमोशनलेस भी नहीं कि नेताजी ने मुस्कुराते हुए कहा और नंगी टांगों के रेस्ट हाउस से बाहर निकल गए। अफसरों में नेताजी को अपने-अपने कंधे पर एक-दूसरे से बढ़कर उठाने की होड़ लगी और घंटे भर में नेताजी को कभी इस कंधे तो कभी उस कंधे उठाता सरकारी अफसरों का काफिला बाढ़ग्रस्तों के बीच पहुंच गया। उन्होंने बाढ़ के पानी में कमर-कमर तक खड़े हुए विभागीय कम अभागीय बाढ़ग्रस्त कम विवशताग्रस्त असहाय देखे तो उनका मन भर आया। तब उन्होंने अपने कुरते के किनारे से अपने मन को पोंछने के बाद कहा, अरे! हमें तो पता ही नहीं था कि हमारे घर के इतने लोग बाढ़ का शिकार हुए हैं? अपने-अपने विभाग के अफसर को नेताजी के बाद बाढ़ की जय का नारा लगाने के बाद बाढ़ के पानी में खड़े हर विभाग के कर्मचारी ने अपने परिवार के साथ गीदड़ों की तरह हू में हू मिलाते नारा लगाया, बाढ़ की जय! बाढ़ की परम जय!!और वे बाढ़ की जय के नारों के बीच मुस्कुराते हुए अपने सबसे उम्दा चमचे अफसर की पीठ पर से भाषण देने के बाद उतरे और नंगी टांगों में ही रेस्ट हाउस में रेस्ट करने निकले तो बाढ़ के घुटने-घुटने पानी में गले-गले तक गंदे पानी में जैसे-कैसे डूबे हर विभाग के कर्मचारी ने अपने-अपने परिवार के साथ राहत की सांस ली।
