One of the forefathers of Spanish-language media, Emilio Nicolás, who played a part in the founding of Spanish-language network Univision, died in his San Antonio home on Saturday.
Carol Ann Cockrell Gulley, daughter of the late former mayor Lila Cockrell, died unexpectedly on Friday, Oct. 4 following a brief illness. She was 74.
The media executive and philanthropist died Sept. 16 at age 92. A memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday at First Presbyterian Church.
The funeral of Dr. Alfonso “Chico” Chiscano was held Friday at the San Fernando Cathedral.
Former Mayor Henry Cisneros recounted the life and contributions of Lila Cockrell, San Antonio’s first female mayor, in a tribute he read during her funeral Thursday.
Hundreds of Lila Cockrell’s friends and family gathered at Laurel Heights United Methodist Church on Thursday morning for her funeral services. | 204 |
Over the past 10 days there were quite some changes in UA ranks, which caused a lot of questions, and there were also a few posts (for example by @tarazkp and @soyrosa) openly questioning whether the @steem-ua project still needs, and deserves, delegation support. This post aims to answer these questions and concerns, so that hopefully all can conclude @steem-ua is still “Alive & Kicking” and simply fine as it is.
Computation of UA scores for all accounts on the Steem blockchain is a massively complex undertaking with lots of number crunching. Something to realise as well, is that with every witness (un)vote and every account (un)follow on the Steem chain all UA scores change. When “plankton X” decides to follow “plankton Y” or “whale Z”, still every UA score changes, albeit slightly — that won’t effect big changes. Yet when a massive account like @utopian-io, which is not only very influential on the Steem chain but was also a top-10 witness account, decides to quit their witness activities, then all UA scores & ranks change a lot indeed.
You may like those changes, or you don’t, but this change in UA scores has always been coded like this by design: the event in which @utopian-io quit their witness activities and UA adapting its scores accordingly, is in fact proof the UA system is objectively functioning exactly as intended!
quit their witness node (server), and quickly dropped its witness rank, from a mathematical point of view @utopian-io itself became “less influential” on Steem (therewith not meaning to state that @utopian-io isn’t meaningful anymore: it still is!), ergo the UA algorithm now passes on less “trust” to the @utopian-io account itself (the UA algorithm detected a large drop in people voting for the @utopian-io witness, and the UA algorithm “assumes” that therefore less trust should be passed to @utopian-io), and as a direct effect the account @utopian-io passes on less trust to the accounts it (in)directly follows itself: hence, those accounts dropped in their UA scores and ranks.
And at the same time, due to @utopian-io quickly dropping in witness ranks, the other witnesses increased their witness ranks, some of which increased a lot, so more UA Trust is now being passed to those witnesses and as a direct effect also to the accounts those witnesses follow themselves.
Where some lose rank, others gain: the sum of all “absolute UA” still remains 1. This is nothing short but full proof that UA functions just fine as it is.
As we’ve stated time and time again, @steem-ua - the Algorithmic Curation Program - is merely one possible application of UA, the Influence Metric. Almost 5 months ago, we’ve Open Sourced the UA code for anybody to download, install, verify, contribute to, and build their own dApps with. @steem-ua has always been and still is an ALGORITHMIC curation & up vote program based on UA scores: this is not per se better than full manual curation, yet it is different and a perfectly fine alternative to delegating to “bid bots” or “promotional services”.
@steem-ua is still being delegated to by almost 900 individual delegators: a few powerful supporters wholeheartedly delegating tens of thousands of SP to @steem-ua (e.g. @neoxian and @jaki01) enable hundreds of smaller delegators to get upvoted by @steem-ua with a higher value than they could receive if they would self-vote at 100%. In other words: @steem-ua helps to keep onboard these smaller accounts, to stay with Steem and grow their accounts.
If you’re a big Steem account and you’re primarily interested in getting rewarded a good ROI in terms of “accumulating even more Steem tokens by delegating”, then delegating to “bid bots” is your best choice.
However, if you’re, being a big Steem account, more interested in adding more value to Steem, to grow the Steem user base, to increase demand for Steem then @steem-ua can be your preferred project to delegate to. Your big delegation matters: it supports hundreds of small accounts getting better upvotes by @steem-ua, and that by itself increases your own Steem holdings.
Thank you for your time! Steem On!
Thank you for your contribution to Utopian. The algorithmic curation program is a wonderful project, and I appreciate the fact that you took the time to create an informative blog post. The post is also well-written.
In terms of content, I like all the information provided. Even though the post lacks editorial content, it certainly contains all the necessary details. I have to admit that I wanted to read a bit more about your personal experience of working on this project, however I do realize that this wasn't the purpose of this particular blog post.
To summarize, this is a nice contribution from you. It is great to see that everything is running smoothly, and I think that you are doing a really good job. Keep it up.
Your "UA Trending Feed, PoC" is very cool. I think there are better, more complete, ways to implement what you've built (I completely understand you implementation strategy though), but as a PoC, it's great!
Yet more realistically speaking (hey, one can dream, right!) a "UA Trending Feed" should include all accounts and all their posts. Every account does have a UA score, and so does every post, regardless whether those accounts are delegating to @steem-ua, or not.
I agree the current UA-API doesn't fit those requirements. Implementation-wise, I wouldn't recommend an infrastructure to deploy a UA Trending Feed being dependent on an external node and the UA-API. Instead, how about locally running the UA-Python Lib (sourced / linked-to in this post), circumventing Hivemind, and doing a UA Trending PoC based on all Live UA Data?
Here's another idea. Issue daily Steem-UA tokens based on the rank or whatever criteria. Maybe token issue would be based on rank alone, regardless of post frequency. Or maybe it's a combination of rank and post. Whatever, doesn't matter.
Then, anyone can look at the sum issued over time to the account to determine rank.
That report doesn't simply look at the rich list. This is the simple rich list, see the difference?
My report shows how many people earned STINGY. The rich list shows how many people have earned + bought (market trades), so the rich list might be less interesting.
I could see a Steem-UA implementation leverage this same dynamic.
Maybe you always issue 1000 tokens every day, but it's divided by the top accounts according to the current Steem-UA rank.
Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering why my UA rank had dropped so much.
Good to know. Hopefully there are some more posts coming as the last one before this was 5 months ago. A lot of people seem to use it as an indicator of their engagement so I think it is important for there to be updates along the way, even if it is just to show that there is still someone behind the wheel.
I agree that it's important to provide some "vocal loudness" every now and then. On the other hand, I'm not of the type to "just post, to post" and as @steem-ua has always been an Algorithmic Curation Program (which of course includes a lot of "manual curation" - yet in-directly! - all manual actions / transactions are the basis of all UA computations) not posting and just "letting the system run" does fit "the UA / Steem-ua Way".
@neoxian a few days ago DM'd me to notify me about your post, and by then I had already drafted parts of this post as an explanatory update discussing the effects of Utopian quitting its witness activities on the UA data. So both your post and the "Utopian explanatory update" were, in my mind, a good topic to post about!
Yep, it was a good thing. I am glad you posted it because as said, quite a few people use it as a metric of their engagement/growth etc, but don't understand how it works or what affects it. THanks.
Supporting small accounts is a greath thing and you have done great job at that. Congrats on that.
In essence the algorithm works just fine. If more people would be more "selective" about which witnesses they vote for and who they choose to follow, which posts they upvote and to which they comment, then the algorithm would function even better - just like it is coded right now.
Concerning the witnesses some very few very rich users have a huge influence on the ranks of the witnesses, and thus on everybody's ua-rating ...
In and by itself that observation is both correct and "just how things are" currently; it's a direct consequence of dPOS, which also has its advantages and disadvantages of course.
The "witness rank" component, via which an initializing "UA trust vector" is assigned to all Steem accounts, surely has its pitfalls -- I'm not denying that of course. On the one hand, I agree with you that indeed a few very large stakeholders (e.g. @freedom) have an immense influence on -a- the witness rankings and therewith also on -b- all UA scores. But on the other hand, the question begs: "is that therefore 'wrong', or a good indicator indeed?"
@freedom is massively "influential" on Steem, yet due to not openly blogging via the @freedom account (arguably one of the best example accounts on why UA functions better as an influence metric than "reputation"), it has no "votable objects" and conversely no "reputation earnings" either, but it does have a relatively high UA score (and rightfully so!). And therewith, I argue that it is justified that the witnesses @freedom / @pumpkin votes on should be "powered with" lots of "UA Trust".
So is the UA witness ranking component "perfect"? Nope. Is it "justified"? Yes, I think it is.
Steemit, Inc. changed the display of the people one is following. There is no alphabetical order any longer. I had started to go through the people I follow in an alphabetical order (I had reached 'j'). Now this is not possible anymore (ok, maybe other STEEM interfaces list the names still in an alphabetical order, I just didn't check it).
Mystery of my improvements explained! Thanks for the update! Eager to see more nee accounts join and monitor their progress as it has been useful for me to see how I am improving within the community. You should do a round of posts to welcome new users as more have joined (and left) the last couple of months!
True, partially, which is why this post was posted!
A lot has been explained in earlier posts, and maybe this one will stimulate to newcomers reading what we wrote before.
@steem-ua glad things are going well for you, one of my first delegations was to you and I enjoy seeing the metrics from the comments.
We might improve those "smart comments" further somewhat...
thanks for writing this update as the post by @tarazkp had me wondering as well and checking up on what was going on. I still have my delegation running and plan on keeping it that way. Its not massive in the scheme of things but it does support the platform as such...
Every delegation helps, albeit that the project is heavily supported by those delegating more than 250 SP. The large delegations "carry" the smaller ones, pull them in so to say, and keep the project going.
Huge thanks for this to @neoxian and @jaki01. @steem-ua owes them lots of "thank you's"
UA (short for "User Authority") is an alternative "influence metric", like your "57" (right now) reputation score. Where this "reputation score" is computed simply by how much rewards you've acquired over time, UA doesn't look at your rewards / earnings per se, but at who is following who. A (very complex) computation system, lots of number crunching, was invented (by me), then coded (by @holger80 in direct and intensive cooperation with me), to compute (and frequently re-computed) every account's UA score and rank.
@steem-ua is one application that utilizes UA data: you can delegate to it, but unlike a "promo bid bot" it then doesn't upvote your posts by how much you've delegated to @steem-ua but by your UA scores compared to others. It uses 3 components: your own account's UA score, all UA scores from the accounts upvoting your posts, and the same for all accounts commenting on / engaging with, your posts.
Then this way, Using UA services will be beneficial only in cases, if a whale upvotes my post or comments on it since my UA score is obviously low and I would need some whale engagement to effectively get benefit from steem-ua services.
Is it so or should I give it a shot by delegating?
Hi @holger80, I guess it's still being stablized right? even looking at top 100, some accounts do not make sense at all (just compare top 100 witness with ua 100). If this is already stabilized ranking, I believe there is something wrong, or the algorithm needs some tuning. thanks.
As said, in this post, every (un)follow and every witness (un)vote on the Steem chain changes all UA scores. What doesn't make "sense" to you, is still a direct (equilibrium) result of current Steem Witness ranks and the entire Steem Follow Matrix.
Feel free to tune UA yourself! The repo has been open sourced (link is in the post, click click) and be sure to DM me when you've posted about your own UA settings!
I know it's open source, but no thanks.
I just pointed out that something may be wrong. Maybe you should thank for that, not asking me to tune? Just compare ua top 100 and witness top 100 if you haven't, then you may also disagree with the current result. As far as I remember, these days, the ranks have not been updated so frequently, so that's why I ask if it's still being updated. I'll just wait for a few more days. But one thing for sure is it's quite sensitive, which is fine. It's just one ranking system, and there is no ranking system that everybody can agree.
Again, I'm not complaining. I also know that UA rank is not so related to the post rank, and I really don't care both. But I was trying to help. That's all. For instance, I delegated (though small) from an account that I don't even post often enough to help steem-ua.
ps. I'm an economist and also a dev. I know what equilibrium means. This isn't an equilibrium. Do not overuse the term equilibrium though I understand it sounds fancy so too overused in the industry. Maybe just "result" or "outcome" is the right word in this case. As you said, if "very (un)follow and every witness (un)vote on the Steem chain changes all UA scores. ", then it's not an equilibrium.
If you use equilibrium just to mean "stablized outcome/status" (usual in the industry), it's also not.
I also have a question: It seems utopian also undelegated to steem-ua, so will the voting for utopian post discontinue soon?
ps. Since you're the one of PO, I appreciate if you could use more deliberated tone to users. While I'm at it, let me tell you this too. No offense. This is just my and many users' opinion. I remember that you or some other team member downvoted dlive with steem-ua account (most SP is delegated from users). Of course, most users including me thought dlive did a very bad thing, but you shouldn't have downvoted with @steem-ua.
I just pointed out that something is wrong. Maybe you should thank for that, not asking me to tune?
Please have a read here which is my original "UA invention post" prior to actually developing the UA algorithm. In there I explain what I meant with "equilibrium" in the context of using a multi-iterative substitution approach over Gauss(ian)-Jordan Matrix Row Reduction, in a successful attempt to circumvent the in-RAM computational cost of holding 1.45 trillion Eigenvalues.
=> you don't see me wrongfully using the term Equilibrium in (my) mathematical context, do you? It's the same context I'm referring to now.
It seems utopian also undelegated to steem-ua, so will the voting for utopian post will discontinue soon?
And no, @steem-ua (and @holger80 and myself individually as well) still support @utopian-io and will continue to upvote Utopian contributions as well.
This is great and thank you so much! I also (again small :) delegated to utopian on my own, and thought of increasing it continuously but after seeing a few moves of recent utopian, not sure. But I also use around 9k to vote utopian posts. Hope steem-ua successfully continue as well. Thank you for listening to my suggestion.
Nor UA, nor @steem-ua for that matter is "perfect". I've never intentionally labeled it as such either. Yet UA (as an influence metric) and @steem-ua (a curation system using UA data) do have "a place" on Steem, I think.
If you read back, I mean my initial "invention posts", you can see that initially I've tried to let others, preferably Steemit Inc. itself, develop UA and embed it both in the Condenser interface as well as "blockchain-wide". Yet some large stakeholders like it, others don't, other technological developments have/had a higher priority, and as a consequence I've joined forces with @holger80 to develop UA and @steem-ua.
And I think we so far we've done the best we could; the mere fact close to 900 individual accounts are delegating to @steem-ua is "proof" the program and metric have merit.
And as I've explained in this post, it's the "Steem-UA Power Delegators" that "carry" all those smaller delegators; providing them with higher upvotes than self-voting would bring them, and at the same time keeping them on-board on the Steem chain. That's worth a lot, I think. So if you support this mission, then feel free to become a "Power Delegator" yourself of course... Would be very much appreciated.
But I'm talking about the possibility of bug in the recent change.
There is a bug in this very simple thing. How are you so sure about more complicated algorithm? Personally I have fixed many bugs in several steem projects. Any program can have bugs.
For instance, afaik, top 100 witness's UA rank was usually higher than 150. But for instance, ayogom (58th)'s UA rank was around 100 but now 5265. This is just an example and there are so many cases like this. As I said many times, please make comparison table witness rank and ua rank, then you'll understand what I'm talking about. Again, it had been quite reasonable til a few days ago.
You made more than 105000 upvotes. Your next target is to reach 110000 upvotes.
You made more than 105000 comments. Your next target is to reach 110000 comments.
@arcange, you've been of massive supportive help yourself as well. Thx!
Thank @scipio. The stats above are really impressive too.
Congratulations @steem-ua! You received a personal award!

I'm over 40 and still fighting it. But by most accounts, I should be happy. I have a successful career, an amazing family, and we're all healthy.
The truth is that there's no rhyme or reason to it. It's a disease. Your situation could be completely different (like mine) and you might still be fighting your own brain as it tries to sabotage you into misery. And for some people, it doesn't ever just go away on its own.
I've tried six different SSRIs. Right now I'm on generic Cymbalta and it seems to be working OKish. I've tried running and meditation and it helps a bit. I'm trying to find ways to cope. I've gone through some dark suicidal periods, but those seem to be behind me for now.
Try to surround yourself with people who understand, and won't judge you for not "cheering up." Try to remind yourself that your own brain is working against itself and that the current flare-up go away in time. Try distraction. I know this isn't much help, but maybe it'll be comforting for you to know there are lots of us out here? | 248 |
For Phogoth use the last wall on the left side for cover, shoop da whoop his chest and pop back behind the wall before he slams, watchout incase he peaks his face far enough around the wall to laser you.
As someone elsewhere in this thread with their bubble tactic already noted Valus' melee doesn't have much vertical area of effect so you can shoot him 1-2 times, double jump into the air while he stomps, reload and repeat. His wait times between using melees are reset when he decides to move across the room so just when you think you've got a rhythm going he'll stomp early which can be tricky (but at least you'll be easy to revive). Between all the jumping, body shots and reloading I don't feel like I'm doing more damage than if I just sniped but making him melee stops him from supressing the rest of the fireteam so I think it's still beneficial to get all up in his face. | 203 |
"This piece helped me to get the role of the Scarecrow in a production of The Wizard of Oz...."
This piece helped me to get the role of the Scarecrow in a production of The Wizard of Oz. It is very similar to the movie version and is easy to learn. The only word of caution that I have is that it says you can sub the Tinman's or the Lion's part into this instead of using the Scarecrow's lyrics, but be wary. T and L's parts are in different keys. | 108 |
A Minneapolis Police Officer arrests protester Rachel Bean outside the Dave Chappelle show at the Varsity Theater in St. Paul on Friday, July 22. (Photo courtesy of Nadia Shaarawi) (FOX 9)
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The protesters arrested by Minneapolis Police outside Dave Chappelle’s show Friday at the Varsity Theater have all been released without being charged — though the cases still remain open.
So far, police and jail records indicate that five people were arrested at the protests, which were in response to comments Chapelle made last year questioning trans identity. Two of those arrests were on suspension of vandalism, possibly related to sidewalk chalk. A third person was arrested on suspicion of fourth-degree assault (less than substantial bodily harm) and riot, a fourth on suspicion of assault and riot, and a fifth person on suspicion of fleeing from police and riot.
RELATED: Minneapolis City Council President Andrea Jenkins sounds off on Dave Chappelle
All but two were quickly released. Over the weekend, activists organized a campaign on Twitter asking people to call the Hennepin County Jail to call for the release of two of the protesters who were still incarcerated at the time.
A flyer that was widely circulated online calling for the release of two protesters who were detained outside the Dave Chappelle show at the Varsity Theater last Friday.
On the other side of the political spectrum, a prominent right-wing social media personality, Andy Ngô highlighted the cases for his one million followers, describing the protests as "violent" and "ultra-left wing," while conservative US media outlets and a conservative British tabloid also covered the arrests.
In a city where violent crime is an almost daily occurrence, the incidents in question here could be seen as minor, but considering the amount of public attention and speculation they received, as well as the fact that MPD's ability to respond to appropriately and effectively to protests has been repeatedly called into question in recent years, we decided to take a closer look.
RELATED: Minneapolis riot response was so bad, it'll take years to overhaul
So what happened? Police haven't forwarded the cases to prosecutors
According to Minnesota court rules, when the police arrest a suspect, authorities have 36 hours to charge them with a crime and bring them before a judge before they have to be released. The way this typically occurs is that when the police complete their investigation, they forward the case file to prosecutors, in this case, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, who then decide what changes, if any, they will seek in the case.
The Hennepin County Attorney's Office confirmed to Fox 9 that the Minneapolis Police Department did not forward the case files for the two arrested protesters to their office, meaning prosecutors have yet to review the cases or considered whether charges would be warranted. So far, according to the Hennepin County Attorney's Office, none of the protesters who were arrested outside the show have been charged with a crime.
Police records indicate that the cases for the two protesters who were detained over the weekend remain open, meaning police still forward the cases to prosecutors at a later date, up until the statute of limitations for the crimes in question expires, which in this case could mean up to three years.
Protester speaks out after release
One of the two protesters who was detained over the weekend, Rachel Bean, 35, was arrested on suspicion of assault and riot.
She spoke to Fox 9 after her release. She declined to comment on the specifics of what happened as her case is still open, but said that any claims made on social media that the protests had been "violent" were inaccurate.
"From my perspective, up to and including the time I was arrested, the most violence I saw came at the hands of the police. They maced non-violent protesters as well as arresting protesters for ‘crimes’ such as using sidewalk chalk," she said. "They tightened my handcuffs and grabbed my arms so tightly I still have bruises today. Nothing any protester did was more violent than those actions."
MPD did not respond to a request for comment.
Video footage of the arrest seems unclear
The moments leading up to Bean’s arrest were captured by independent journalist Nadia Shaarawi, who was on the scene and filming for BLCKPress and is working on a related video for Unicorn Riot. So far, no other footage has emerged capturing any of the other arrests or what lead up to them that night.
Fox 9 reviewed the footage, which was filmed outside the theater entrance. The protesters were separated from the front of the building by a metal barrier, with police and private security standing guard on the other side.
The scene has the tone and civility of a newspaper comment section, with both sides filming the other and exchanging insults, but the footage doesn't capture any physical altercations. Officers seem to say calm throughout, other than a moment when a female officer by the barrier yells something at a group of protesters and then spays them with mace.
The section of the footage that depicts the moments leading up to Bean’s arrest was taken after Chappelle’s first show had ended.
The video shows a man and a woman, evidently a couple, approach a Minneapolis police officer and point to Bean, who is nearby.
The officer then turns and says something to Bean, who replies, "I didn’t touch anybody." A witness at the scene told Fox 9 that the man was showing the officer a mark on his girlfriend's arm. As they continue to talk to the officer, Bean stands to the side and puts her hands behind her back, seemingly waiting for the arrest. Officers then move toward her and arrest her, handcuffing her hands.
When a case is still open, police do not release the full report but a public version that is shortened. In this case, the narrative section of the public report reads: "Ofc. were flagged down at listed location for an Assault. Listed victim was assaulted by listed suspect that was still on the scene. Ofc. arrested listed suspect."
The report indicates that the woman who accused Bean of assaulting her had an "apparent minor injury." It doesn’t say that officers saw what happened between Bean and the woman, and that critical moment was also not captured by the footage. | 1,311 |
Antarctica is a continental land mass of around 14,000,000 km2, 98% of which is covered by ice up to 4.7 km thick. It is a polar desert and is the driest continent on earth. Most precipitation falls as snow, largely restricted to the region less than 300 km from the Antarctic coast. The annual precipitation is approximately 200–500 mm. The Antarctic Peninsula receives about 900 mm of precipitation a year while the Eastern Antarctic plateau may only receive around 50 mm a year. Except for the northern Peninsula, even in summer daytime temperatures rarely exceed 0°C.
The Antarctic can be divided into two climatically distinct regions: The Maritime Antarctic – including much of the Antarctic Peninsula (principally the western side), and nearby islands – and Continental Antarctica – including the continental mass and parts of the Eastern Antarctic Peninsula. The Maritime Antarctic generally receives more precipitation (which may fall as rain in summer), has milder temperatures and is climatically more favourable for terrestrial plant life and microscopical animals.
There are lichens, (200 species) bryophytes (over 50 species of mosses and liverworts), fungi and over 700 species of algae found in the Antarctic. Most of the algae are single-celled oceanic plants called phytoplankton.
Two flowering plants (a grass and a small cushion-forming plant) are found on the northern and western parts of the Antarctic Peninsula.
The Arctic regions are generally of lower altitude (the highest is the Brooks Range in northern Alaska – 2,800 m), are less windy (around 36 km per hour on average), are more cloudy, and have higher precipitation. Except for the Greenland Icecap, continental glaciation is localised. Closeness of continental land masses has led to a commonality and higher diversity of the Arctic floras. Around 2,000 lichens, 600–700 bryophytes and 900 flowering plants are known for the Arctic regions. There are even 5 flowering plants on Northern Ellesmere Island, Arctic Canada, at 83° N.
The Antarctic continent is higher (Vinson Massif – 5,140 m) and the plateau ice cap rises up to 3,800 m above sea level. It is also windier (around 54 km per hour on average at coastal sites, but speeds of up to 252 km per hour have been recorded). It is cold; the lowest temperatures recorded on earth (−89.4° C) was at Vostok Station on the Antarctic inland plateau. Temperatures at coastal continental localities may drop to as low as −41° C in mid winter. The ice plateau is generally less cloudy. The flora of the Antarctic consists of around 250 lichens, 100 mosses, 25–30 liverworts, around 700 terrestrial and aquatic algal species, an unknown number of (mostly microscopic) fungi, and two flowering plants.
Terrestrial plant life in Antarctica is restricted to three main habitat types.
Permanent snow free areas with little precipitation.
Areas with winter snow accumulation and essential water being provided from summer melt.
Exposed nunataks and mountain peaks surrounded by permanent ice.
Typically though plant life occurs on almost any exposed or ice free rock, in lakes, and in the near-coastal snow and ice. Some examples of specialised plant habitats are snow banks and volcanic ground.
There are three main factors which determine the distribution of plant life in Antarctica.
Of these factors, the most important is the availability of free water as aridity is the biggest determinant of plant distribution in Antarctica. To survive here, plants need to be able to withstand severe physiological stresses, such as repeated freezing and thawing, desiccation and changes to the cellular chemical environment.
A number of fumarole communities exist on volcanic ground in Antarctica. Fumaroles are openings in the earths surface, which emit steam and gas. Temperatures at fumaroles can reach 60°C only 10 cm below the surface. Plant colonies often thrive in these areas because of the warmer temperatures and the limitless availability of free water from steam and melting snow or ice. Some examples of these communities can be found at two localities in Continental Antarctica; Mt Erebus (an active volcano which supports communities of soil microbes at altitudes over 3,000 m), Mt Melbourne (a dormant volcano with many fumaroles and areas of steam warmed or heated ground), and at two localities in the Maritime Antarctic; Deception Island in the South Shetland Islands (a volcano which last erupted in 1985) and the South Sandwich Islands. Mt Melbourne supports the only known occurrence of the moss Campylopus pyriformis (a European and Southern African species). Deception Island also supports small colonies of a number of mosses not otherwise found in the Antarctic region.
Polar deserts are generally considered to be very good indicators of climate change because of the freeze/thaw balance which controls many aspects in the environment (such as available light, albedo, temperature and meltwater supply) and because desert systems are very responsive to changes in climate. In the Antarctic it is thought that as a result of climate change, CO2, temperature and UV levels will all increase. There will also be a change in water availability. For example, at Hudson Bay in the Arctic, it is predicted that if CO2 levels double then temperatures will rise by 7°C and soil moisture will decrease by 50%. Increased CO2, temperatures and UV is not expected to have a serious effect on plant life in the Antarctic. One effect of climate change will be to increase the amount of available habitat for colonisation, especially in coastal areas and on the Antarctic Peninsula. New plants may then be able to establish, either naturally or by accidental introduction from humans.
The situation will be very different in the marine environment where climate change is likely to have profound effects on marine microbes. Increased ocean temperatures are likely going to cause changes in microbial distribution and abundance, and change ocean currents. Increasing temperatures are also likely to increase stratification, trapping marine microbes in near-surface waters where they will experience reduced replenishment of nutrients and increasing exposure to solar UVB. In addition, increased CO2 in the ocean will increase its acidity. Organisms that make structures from calcium carbonate will find it increasingly difficult to deposit these structures in cold Antarctic waters, potentially excluding numerous organisms such as Coccolithophorids and Pteropods from Antarctic waters this century. Increased CO2 concentration is also likely to cause changes in the productivity and species composition of marine microbial communities with ramifications for the Antarctic food web.
Global warming is also expected to profoundly change the circulation in the world’s oceans, of which the Southern Ocean is a key component, due to its role in circumpolar transport of water as part of the global “conveyor belt” circulation. Circulation from the Atlantic will be reduced if the sinking of cold water off Greenland is interrupted by icecap meltwaters. Similarly, the formation of Antarctic Bottom Water will be reduced if coastal waters around Antarctica become warmer. These sinking waters carry oxygen from the surface to ocean's abyssal depths, so interruption of the flow would be expected to profoundly impact bottom communities.
A degree of uncertainty does exist with the Antarctic flora though. Because the continent is so isolated and largely inaccessible, sampling can only be done infrequently. Much of the early sampling in particular, was not done in a systematic or scientific manner. Additionally the number of people working on the Antarctic flora compared to the flora of other regions is quite low. In the past this has led to some overlap between collections, where a single species of plant has been given two separate names by two different collectors, falsely increasing the number of recorded species. Comparatively little is known about the Antarctic flora, and it is constantly being updated.
We study microscopic organisms in different ways.
About half the carbon dioxide emitted from human activities has dissolved in the ocean.

Lena Dunham, the first person who has ever had the audacity to be born to artists and also make films and television, is a constantly offensive person. From her decision to wear dresses she likes over dresses recommended by stylists, to her suggestion that people learn to be comfortable with the way a normal female body looks, she is a constant topic of discussion across the internet. What hasn’t been discussed is how truly offensive her name is.
Lena’s television show, like most television shows launched in 2012, was comprised of mostly young white people living in a city. For this crime we know she, and not the casting department or the executives at her network and studio, deserves all the blame because there was a poll on Jezebel one time. Which bring me to the first offensive thing about her name: it starts with the letter “L.” Doesn’t Lena know that “L” is a letter used by the Libyan people? Doesn’t she know what they’ve been through? To appropriate and casually adorn herself with such a cultural artifact is not only shockingly ignorant, it’s also quite self involved.
“L” is also similar to the Hebrew symbol “Lamedh.” Which means she’s anti-semitic, which you can be even if you’re culturally and religiously Jewish and haven’t said anything derogatory or self-hating about the Jewish people or faith, FYI.
Also, how about that last name? “Dunham” sounds suspiciously like “done ‘em” which in some circles and with the correct tone would imply sexual intercouse. Does Lena Dunham know that young girls look up to her? Is she intending to promote underage sex? I think so. After all her memoir, Not That Kind of Girl, does contain a story about her altering her parents that her toddler sister was inadvertently doing a dangerous thing to her genetalia. So she’s obviously a pedophile.
Dunham also contains the word “ham.” Ham is just pigs. I thought Jewish people were kosher, Lena? I guess that was a lie to. Another smokescreen from the girl who’s anti-hero television character once said, in a moment of farce, “I think I might be the voice of my generation. Or, at least, a generation.” Not my generation. My generation doesn’t lie or write jokes that are meant to highlight a character’s flaws in contrast to likability.
Stereotyping again, I see.
Do we even know her middle name? It’s probably Joseph Kony. Exactly. Lena Dunham is really problematic.
Anyway, how great are Sean Penn and Terrence Howard’s new projects?

Nice article. I followed your steps but I don't see my external resource (ldap/uOneLdap) listed under Application Server => JNDI Browser.
I do see external resource listed under netbeans IDE => Services => GlassFishV2=>Resources=>JNDI=>External Resources=>ldap/uOneLdap and C:\Program Files\GlassfishV2\domains\domain1\config\domain.xml file.
1. Did you check to make sure that the external resource was available?
2. If the resource was not available, not started when the server was configured, you will need to restart the domain.
I think I found the problem. As you said, resource was not available is correct.
This is a remote ldap server and doesn't accept anonymous login. when I enter external resource without properties, it was not available but when I added properties, it is displayed in JNDI browser.
This is helping a lot as I don't have to hardcode any ldap properties into the code.
Awesome! I am glad that I could help.
I am glad that worked. I encounter the same issue if I forget to make sure that the resource is available before I set it up in Glassfish.
When I use external resource to search ldap, it performs one additional search (search number 19).
|7.387 | searchResEntry(19) |LDAP: searchResEntry(19) "ou=ILN1,o=mycompany.com"
|7.389 | searchResEntry(20) |LDAP: searchResEntry(20) "uniqueidentifier=100307225029593ff848d4d4c,ou=subscribers,ou=GlenAllen,ou=ILN1,o=mycompany.com"
Here 2nd search is performed by my code but don't know who does the first search?
This is how I am using external resource "ldap/uOneLdap" in code.
Earlier I was creating instance of DirectoryContext and passing a hashtable with all context enviorment variables and only one search was performed.
The baseObject (BaseDN) is being retrieved first on the initial search. Then it performs a search on the sub-tree from the returned result.
You would have to look at your LDAP server documentation on the specifics, but the searchRequest is the heart of the LDAP protocol. Here is a link to the Apache DS ASN Tree which you can follow the process from your snoop session.
I don't use Active Directory so I am not able to tell you what the majority of the message means, but the information you provided does not look complete. It would help to have more of the exception, and what you were doing.
A quick check on Google has a number of explanations of LDAP: error code 32. A number of them are missing something from their query string.
The rest of message is stack trace and does not carry any useful info. I can use LDAP while I create InitialDirContext with environment variables. But with JNDI lookup although Glassfish instantiates DirContext neither of the methods are work.
I really don't have enough information to really be of help. You indicated that the stack trace does not contain any valuable information.
I don't use Active Directory so I can't really try to reproduce anything. Not to mention I don't have any code to examine.
Without any additional information, I can't help you.
I have used this technique for a number of production systems so I know it works.
It suggests removing the baseDN. | 769 |
i think there needs to be a rebalancing regarding the time it takes to complete the pack. with current setup, captain, who plays 2-3 hrs after every 1 or 2 days, isnt even close to winning the pack. the playtime required to complete the pack is so high that only a few people can even imagine finishing it. i think they can add a customisable time limit so a player can select the no. of days till the end. here we see that 90 days is obviously not enough. if i was to play this pack, i would probably like 120 days or probably even more. i cant find the time to play 1 to 1.5 hrs everyday nor do i have the attention span to do the same thing for hours on end | 154 |

\begin{tframe}{Introduction}
\cite{lehmann2005testing}
\begin{itemize}
\item Beamer is a \LaTeX{} class that allows you to create presentations
\item Beamer2Thesis is a Beamer package that allows you to create a presentation for your thesis
\begin{itemize}
\item with specific dedicated commands
\item it uses TorinoTh, a Beamer Theme
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{tframe}
\begin{tframe}{UnicamTh theme}
\begin{itemize}
\item UnicamTh (UnicamThesis) is a theme which is based on TorinoTh (derived from Torino) and extend it.
\begin{itemize}
\item Torino is a pretty theme for Beamer realized by <NAME>
\item \href{http://blog.barisione.org/2007-09/torino-a-pretty-theme-for-latex-beamer/}{http://blog.barisione.org/2007-09/torino-a-pretty-theme-for-latex-beamer/}
\end{itemize}
\item This theme is unofficial one and modifies the directory structure, logo and colors.
\item The original theme was developed by <NAME> and can be found here: \href{https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/beamer2thesis-2-dot-2-theme-for-beamer-english-version/ymxnnrqbmpcj}{https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/beamer2thesis-2-dot-2-theme-for-beamer-english-version/ymxnnrqbmpcj}
\end{itemize}
\end{tframe}
\begin{tframe}{Project structure}
\begin{itemize}
\item The project includes:
\begin{itemize}
\item \emph{images} folder that contains project images.
\item \emph{theme} folder that has sty files
\item \emph{template} folder contains the initial and end template content\_initial.tex, content\_end.tex and helper.tex which separate the theme and the other files.
\item \emph{beamer2thesis.sty} is the main file
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{tframe}
\begin{tframe}{UnicamTh theme}
\begin{itemize}
\item The theme files are saved theme folder and consist of:
\begin{itemize}
\item \emph{beamercolorthemeunicamth.sty} defines colors and allows you to choose among three possible options: blue (default), green or red
\item \emph{beamerfontthemeunicamth.sty} defines fonts used
\item \emph{beamerinnerthemeunicamth.sty} defines the title page and items
\item \emph{beamerouterthemeunicamth.sty} defines headers and footers
\item \emph{beamerthemeUnicamTh.sty} include all definitions
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{tframe}
\begin{frame}[t,fragile]{How to read the guides}
\begin{itemize}
\item All guides show options in general; to have a look for specific configurations, read each guide because in each one is reported its own configuration state
\item Every time something is declared to be \emph{default}, it is possible to omit it from the configuration phase
\item Every time an option is enabled by setting it with \emph{true}, to disable it you can use \emph{false}; for example:
\begin{verbatim}
secondcandidate=false
secondcandidate=true
\end{verbatim}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[t,fragile]{The configuration phase}
\begin{itemize}
\item It is the first thing you have to declare in the document
\item The general code is \verb!\usetheme[.. options ..]{TorinoTh}!
\item An example is:
\begin{verbatim}
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme[language=english,
titlepagelogo=logopolito,
bullet=circle,
pageofpages=of,
titleline=true,
color=blue
]{TorinoTh}
\end{verbatim}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{tframe}{Some general options}
\begin{itemize}
\item The \highlight{pageofpages} option defines the string between the current
page number and the total page count
\begin{itemize}
\item the default is \emph{of}
\end{itemize}
\item If the \highlight{titleline} option is set to \emph{true}, a horizontal line
is drawn below the title
\begin{itemize}
\item the default is \emph{true}; use \emph{false} to disable
\end{itemize}
\item The \highlight{notshowauthor} option set to \emph{true} allows you to not show the name of the author in the footer
\begin{itemize}
\item the default is \emph{false}
\end{itemize}
\item The \highlight{titlepagelogo} is the name of the principal logo: it must be a .jpg, .pdf, .png picture
\begin{itemize}
\item to include the logo of your University, follow the procedure explained in the following slide
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{tframe}
\begin{tframe}{How insert a new logo}
There are several ways to do it (for people highly capable in \LaTeX\, this is not a problem), but I suggest this method:
\begin{itemize}
\item download from my page the .zip file and extract it
\item copy your logo into the directory of the package
\item install the package in your personal tree following the guide reported in slide \ref{slide-guide-installation}
\end{itemize}
\label{slide-rule-installation}
\end{tframe}
\begin{frame}[t,fragile]{Other options: avaiable bullets}
\begin{itemize}
\item The \highlight{bullet} option can be used to choose the symbol used in the bullet lists
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb!square!: a filled square
({\usebeamercolor[fg]{item}\tiny\raise0.2ex\hbox{$\blacksquare$}}) for
first and third level items, an empty square
({\usebeamercolor[fg]{item}\tiny\raise0.2ex\hbox{$\square$}}) for
second level items
\item \verb!diamond!: a filled diamond
({\usebeamercolor[fg]{item}\tiny\raise0.2ex\hbox{$\blacklozenge$}}) for
first and third level items, an empty diamond
({\usebeamercolor[fg]{item}\tiny\raise0.2ex\hbox{$\lozenge$}}) for
second level items
\item \verb!triangle!: a filled triangle
({\usebeamercolor[fg]{item}\tiny\raise0.2ex\hbox{$\blacktriangleright$}}) for
first and third level items, an empty triangle
({\usebeamercolor[fg]{item}\tiny\raise0.2ex\hbox{$\vartriangleright$}}) for
second level items
\item \verb!circle!: a filled circle ({\usebeamercolor[fg]{item}$\bullet$})
for first and third level items, an empty circle
({\usebeamercolor[fg]{item}$\circ$}) for second level items
\item The default value is \verb!circle!
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[t,fragile]{Languages}
\begin{itemize}
\item All languages can be supported, but the two main ones are:
\begin{itemize}
\item english
\item italian
\end{itemize}
\item The choice of one of the main languages implies that in the titlepage, date and labels (Supervisor, Candidate, Relatore, Candidato) are shown with the proper language in an automatic way
\item To set the italian language, for example, use in the configuration phase:
\verb!language=italian!; the name should be the one used by the package babel or by \verb!\setmainfont! with \XeLaTeX
\item If the language selected is not one of the two main languages, then labels in the titlepage should be introduced by the user (see the example in the next frame)
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[t,fragile]{Languages (II)}
\begin{itemize}
\item Example with spanish language:
\begin{verbatim}
\usetheme[language=spanish,...]{TorinoTh}
\setrellabel{Relator Tesis}
\setcandidatelabel{Candidato}
\setassistentsupervisorlabel{Co Tesis}
\setsubject{Tesis}
\end{verbatim}
\item Commands illustrated are mandatory when \highlight{not using} a main language
\item If you have already set a language and you change, it may happen that, the first time you compile, this error occurs: \begin{flushleft}
\highlight{! Package babel Error: You haven't loaded the option -language- yet}
\end{flushleft}
do not be afraid and compile a second time: it will work!!
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[t,fragile]{Coding}
To avoid forcing an user to use the \verb!utf8x! coding, this release fix the bug by introducing the \highlight{coding} option; possible choices you can exploit are:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb!coding=utf8x! (default)
\item \verb!coding=utf8!
\item \verb!coding=latin1!
\end{itemize}
An important advise: the program does not check which string you put in input; it is your matter select the right coding to satisfy requeriments of your system.
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[t,fragile]{Second logo}
\begin{itemize}
\item If, for some reasons, someone needs a second logo (a thesis performed in another institute for example) an option allows you to put it in the title page
\item When \highlight{secondlogo} is set to \emph{true}, you have to use the command \verb!\titlepagesecondlogo{name-logo}!: otherwise an error occurs
\item As the main logo, the second logo must be a .jpg, .pdf, .png picture and you can insert it following the same rules explained in slide \ref{slide-rule-installation}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]{Third logo}
\begin{itemize}
\item Eventually, if you need a third logo you can exploit the possibility of insert it by setting the option \highlight{thirdlogo} to \emph{true}
\begin{itemize}
\item the default is \emph{false}
\end{itemize}
\item You have to insert the picture as described for the second logo and use the command \verb!\titlepagethirdlogo{name-logo}!
to put the logo in the title page
\item Of course, you can use this option if, and only if, the \highlight{secondlogo} is set to \emph{true}
\item When there are three logos please use, as reference for the dimensions, the picture \alert{logopolito}: in this way they will be aligned
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[t,fragile]{Second candidate}
\begin{itemize}
\item It is possible that there are two candidates: the package manage this fact easily
\begin{itemize}
\item the first candidate is also the author
\item the second candidate can be inserted with the command \verb!\secondcandidate{name-surname}! when the option \highlight{secondcandidate} is set to \emph{true}
\end{itemize}
\item Of course, when there are two candidates the label \emph{Candidate} becomes \emph{Candidates} and \emph{Candidato} become \emph{Candidati}
\item With two candidates, the footer changes and the author is not shown automatically (the reason is simply: show two authors plus the title is too much long, making the footer too big)
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[t,fragile]{Supervisor and Assistant Supervisor}\label{secondrel}
\begin{itemize}
\item To insert the supervisor you just have to use the command \verb!\rel{name-surname}!
\item There is also the possibility of report the Assistant supervisor:
\begin{itemize}
\item set the option \highlight{assistantsupervisor} to \emph{true} (default is \emph{false})
\item use the command \verb!\assistantsupervisor{name-surname}!
\end{itemize}
\item Labels are set accordingly to the language used
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[t,fragile]{Second Supervisor and Assistant Supervisor}
There is also the possibility of insert more than one supervisor and assistant supervisor:
\begin{itemize}
\item set the options:
\begin{itemize}
\item \highlight{secondsupervisor} to true (default is false);
\item \highlight{secondassistantsupervisor} to true (default is false);
\end{itemize}
\item name can be inserted thanks to:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb!\secondsupervisor! command;
\item \verb!\secondassistantsupervisor! command; this one can be exploited just when the \highlight{assistantsupervisor} option is set to true;
\end{itemize}
\item as usual, labels are set accordingly to the language used
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[t,fragile]{Advantages and Disadvantages}
Sometimes it is useful highlight advantages and disadvantages of a given argument: instead of list them by using the standard bullet, there is the possibility of exploit two new environments (\emph{adv} and \emph{disadv}). Usage:
\begin{columns}
\begin{column}{0.3\paperwidth}
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{adv}
\item
\end{adv}
\end{verbatim}
\end{column}
\begin{column}{0.3\paperwidth}
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{disadv}
\item
\end{disadv}
\end{verbatim}
\end{column}
\end{columns}
\bigskip
In the following slide there is an example.
\end{frame}
\begin{tframe}{Why use Beamer2Thesis}
Advantages:
\begin{adv}
\item Simply to install
\item Easy to customize
\item Possibility to exploit several features
\end{adv}
Disadvantages:
\begin{disadv}
\item Difficulty with long titles
\item If you find some others, please contact me
\end{disadv}
\end{tframe}
\begin{frame}[t,fragile]{Finally: colors}
\begin{itemize}
\item There are three possible choices:
\begin{itemize}
\item blue
\item green
\item red
\end{itemize}
\item When the color is chosen setting the option \highlight{color} to one of the list above, consequently headers, footers, title page, bullet and highlightings are set accordingly
\item For example: \verb!color=green!
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{tframe}{\XeLaTeX}
Thanks to a suggestion and the precious help of <NAME>, Beamer2Thesis supports \XeTeX\, and \XeLaTeX\, automatically.
You can choose your favourite font to further customize the presentation. I report some examples:\\
\highlight{Uncomment following lines of code if you use \XeLaTeX!}

\end{tframe}
\begin{frame}[t,fragile]{\XeLaTeX\,: code}
To realize the examples reported in the previous slide, the code is:
\scriptsize{
\begin{verbatim}

\begin{itemize}
\item {\LARGE Word}
\item Word
\item {\tiny World}
\end{itemize}
\end{verbatim}
}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[t,fragile]{Block: code}
The previous slide has been realized as:
\small{\begin{verbatim}
\begin{block}<1->{Why use Beamer2Thesis? Advantages}

\end{disadv}
\end{block}
\end{verbatim}}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[t,fragile]{Block: code (II)}
More in general, Beamer provide three \emph{block} environments:
\begin{itemize}
\item \highlight{block}
\item \highlight{alertblock}
\item \highlight{exampleblock}
\end{itemize}

Taking the c-max camping this weekend up in Killen near Perthshire and hoping to take in a drive over to Loch Lomand and Oban for the weekend, first time I will be able to give the car a decent run as the wife has had the keys mainly this week for her work!
I will post up some pics of scenic scotland and a few of the C-Max.
I've had the car a week now and very impressed with it, just want to see it on a long run.
Lucky so n so.
Well I made it back and only just!
The C-Max was nearly written off at the weekend as one of my friends decided to drive too close in the wet and nearly went into the back of me!! How he missed I do not know but the wife was non too happy and made sure he knew! Also had to get a new tyre yesterday due to getting a nail stuck in it!!
Apart from that and about 370 miles later, I'm very pleased with the car, it needs a bit more power to overtake so looking to get it remapped if possible.
Pics will follow tonight!
Here are the pics as promised!!
Glad you had a good time,shame bout the tyre though.

Our companies has gathered and built our success in past 10 years on the acumen we have learned how design can assist our clients to attain more success and achievement and in one recent project which initially started 3 years ago with a client approaching us that they were starting to launch a new business concept that require kioskterminals that were able to accept coins and cash.
Initially the unit the client showed interest in was one of our standardized models, the C8 a robust curved model which has proven popular with customers certainly has attractive design as well as incorporating easy serviceability so important when in reference to having ability to collect cash inside that it can be done quickly and without having to spend time which could increase cost that is combined in managing a network of terminals that accept old fashioned cash.
The client proceed with a purchase of 5 pilot terminals, and with any new venture a pilot is critical to the investor to demonstrate a proof of concept and in this case our client had to be able to demonstrate to its investors that this solution would pay off. Luckily it did!
After the initial pilot the customer who had regularly visited the terminals in their place of installation to gain better understanding of users and their use of these machines, the concept was so new in marketplace this tracking took best part of 4 months before the accumulated reserach was studied and the client then returned to us with their findings. He initiated a further order and expanded it to 25 terminals a so called first mass production run and he had understood he required a more ad space to proliferate and inform the users who were within a large building to gain their attention to the kiosk and what offerings it provided them.
Concept of secondary design we prepared.
Once the initial 25 units placed the client then began his study on performance and noticed that adding an additional larger monitor and top did in increase awareness, the client who was positioned in locations which in times required potentially to increase turnover to accept other foreign currency expanded two having dual coin slots so that each different coin validator was able to accept two different kinds of foreign currency which also expanded the turnover of these terminals. Their was a healthy 6 months of research undertaken and data collated and then the client returned a third time, he had found that he had voluminous increased his turnover but he felt that with the amount of people traffic occuring in this international location their was more that could be achieved which at KT we initially were quizzical that this could be true but during a in-depth Q&A meeting the customer explained to us why there firm of specialists came to this conclusion. The design was once again re-engineered to the customers wishes and on this occasion we also called in our designer as it required more thought and hence our version 3 was borne.
Now radically redesign the unit achieved what our specialist client had seen through his in-depth marketing research, the corridors of which there are many and extremely long in which people traffic went from left - right or viceversa were seeing the terminals from the side and thus when walking past them the majority being the busy men and women they are would walk past these terminals without giving them much attention what our client proposed was to add both digital large sized monitors and traditional poster print advertising to each side of the terminal and therefore these units ended up being labelled internally at KT Group as Christmas trees. | 670 |

A: Arrived at 1200 am. Not too crowded. Self seating. Took 15 minutes to take our order and waiter forgot to bring drinks. The food took about 35 minutes to from time of ordering till it came to table. The food itself was average. I would not come back based on the wait times. The waiter was polite through the entire service though.
Q: positive
A: I have been here several times and have never been let down. The most important thing I can say about this place is the service is AMAZING.. let me fill you in . . .Every time I have been to Kazimierz , I have shown up very close to 2 am with a group of about 8 to 10. They have never let us down and always seem to be actually happy . Most servers seem to be angry that they might actually have to stay late and take care of people. They have always helped us out , if they happen to be out of something, which is rare but always recommend something we end up enjoying even more! Plus always enjoying a cheese plate. Food is great !! No Complaints , great to take first timers of Scottsdale too!

Answer: Our son is not a big meat eater. He had two bites of my gyro and he wanted his own. He ate half there and the rest he asked to have for dinner. He never askes for his leftovers either. The food is really good. The $5 specials are a perfect size and filling. You will spend more and get less at McDonalds. Give them a try we will go back as often as we can. The only reason why I did not give 5 stars is because the french fries have that batter kind of coating but enven they are good to a ff snob like me.

Output: I'm happy to say that a few weeks ago I ventured back down to Tempe for some pasties and was pleasantly surprised at the level of service I received. It was like night and day from the first time. The server was so sweet, so attentive and she really couldn't have been any better! I got the chicken tikka masala pasty and it was delicious, but a little too spicy for my taste buds. My bf and I each got a shepherd's pie to go and had them for lunch the next day. They give them to you partially baked, recommending you cook them the rest of the way right before eating. As we both ate them at work we cooked them that night and just re-heated them in the microwave the next day. Even reheated in a microwave they were so good! Special props go out to the amazing server that bumped my rating up to 4 stars. :)

output: Today was an indescrible disappointment !! I had an apt. With Mauri ,and I explained to her I had a slight cough, then she said she would only massage me as long as I had my face down, because she did not want to catch it? I hadn't even coughed since I got there and just wanted her to know so if I needed my water bottle if my mouth became dry and perhaps she could open my lungs a little. I explained to her that I could not stay face down for 1 1/2 hours, if she had a mask I would wear that. Then she said all therapist had the right to refuse to take any client, so that's when I go up got my clothes on and walked out, hearing her ask me not to make an incident report out of this that she would tell them.......yeah right! She did offer to put a cloth over my face, I am a lot claustrophobic so I declined, a mask over the mouth and nose was all i could handle, but they do not have any. It is very hard to get an apt. With her and she mostly did a better job than anyone else I had tried, so to even go in this morning was a routine of working around other apts. there is no way I will return to her or that particular Massage Envy. I am sure there is someone else out there that will consistently do a better job. If I had thought for the first min.that I was contagious, I would never have gone in! Besides, is anyone there that has an M.D. Beside their name, of course not. But when she said so adamantly that she had the right to refuse anyone before trying to find a solution that was it for me!

One Star for the food. Service=ABSOLUTELY HORRRRRIBLE I KID YOU NOT! I am sorry but when the first time i go in to place a to go order for our office and it takes them over an hour to process our order and get it to us and only offer us "NICE WATER"(??????) I just thought to myself thats all you could do was offer us water??? It would be one thing if we were there to sit down and eat and had no time crunch to get food. We are used to getting huge orders from taquitos jaliscos in like 30 min or less. I didnt get any kind of apologies or anything from the managers walking around. Can we say unprofessional? So our second visit my BIRTHDAY. We had a waitress with so much attitude she could make a room feel tense. I will never return to this place after the stupid B****es wanted to eye down my mom like we had to be rushed out the door to leave just because the waitress' shift was over with. To top it off they didn't do anything like bring a dessert for my bday or anything. Not like that's the reason for my visit all I want is good food a decent enough service. If you can't provide both or 1.5 of those things bring me a dessert NAO! I will stick to going to the phoenix location from now on. Tempe location I hope you go out of business because of the horrendous service. It makes me so disgusted. | 1,396 |
An important functional role of persistent Na+ current in carotid body hypoxia transduction.
Systemic hypoxia in mammals is sensed and transduced by the carotid body into increased action potential (AP) frequency on the sinus nerve, resulting in increased ventilation. The mechanism of hypoxia transduction is not resolved, but previous work suggested that fast Na(+) channels play an important role in determining the rate and timing of APs (Donnelly, DF, Panisello JM, and Boggs D. J Physiol. 511: 301-311, 1998). We speculated that Na(+) channel activity between APs, termed persistent Na(+) current (I(NaP)), is responsible for AP generation that and riluzole and phenytoin, which inhibit this current, would impair organ function. Using whole cell patch clamp recording of intact petrosal neurons with projections to the carotid body, we demonstrated that I(NaP) is present in chemoreceptor afferent neurons and is inhibited by riluzole. Furthermore, discharge frequencies of single-unit, chemoreceptor activity, in vitro, during normoxia (Po(2) 150 Torr) and during acute hypoxia (Po(2) 90 Torr) were significantly reduced by riluzole concentrations at or above 5 microM, and by phenytoin at 100 microM, without significant affect on nerve conduction time, AP magnitude (inferred from extracellular field), and AP duration. The effect of both drugs appeared solely postsynaptic because hypoxia-induced catecholamine release in the carotid body was not altered by either drug. The respiratory response of unanesthetized, unrestrained 2-wk-old rats to acute hypoxia (12% inspired O(2) fraction), which was measured with whole body plethysmography, was significantly reduced after treatment with riluzole (2 mg/kg ip) and phenytoin (20 mg/kg ip). We conclude that I(NaP) is present in chemoreceptor afferent neurons and serves an important role in peripheral chemoreceptor function and, hence, in the ventilatory response to hypoxia. | 471 |

The hotel was superb; you'll know as soon as the taxi from the airport drops you at the lobby. Rooms excellent, service better than excellent. Breakfast on the patio was worth the trip alone.
Questions to the transportation desk/coordinator were difficult to relay and have answered. the Taxi drivers were much more knowledgeable on where to go.

Reception, lobby and business centre were excellent and gave a good impression on first arriving. The main entrance from the street is a bit old and needs some serious upgrading, not at all inviting.
The rooms are well appointed, LCD television, bed very comfortable, pillows also which is unusual in itself. Bathroom was basic but acceptable.
Room service was prompt, although the food was not outstanding.
Pool areas are great, lots of room for most who wanted to use it, although it was off season so hard to know what the place would be like if it was full.
Security very helpful, very polite.
Business centre was excellent, wifi in the lobby area was free with your own laptop, a little expensive if you used their computers, but they had a lot of computers for use and they were all relatively new Apples, so that was tempting, but in the end I opted for the 'free' access on my own.
Check in and check out was friendly fast and efficient. Very nice people overall.
Breakfast servings were on first glance ok, but the food that was served left a lot to be desired. The omelet cook had no idea what he was doing, my wife (Indonesian) tried to explain how to cook one but he still didnt get it right, so it looked more like a canneloni than an omelet. The rest of the offerings were below what one normally expects in Bali so taht was disappointing.
The entrance from the main road is quite ugly and needs a serious upgrading.
The aircon in the room was not working very well.
Nothing else to complain about.
Nightlife Tip : The Musro disco and karaoke is right next door, but walk down the road a little to the open air Melati Bar for great fun with a 3 piece group who do requests and will let you sing too if you want. Order pizza, drink Bintang, stay late and have a ball, its only 5 to 6 minute walk from the hotel

Great location, beautiful beach frontage, Centro next door. Walking distance to everything, so close to airport.
Bedding overall was dated, old mattresses and old sheets was the most noticeable thing for us.
Check in procedures could be quicker and more accurate. Had to be called back down again so as they had forgotten to get imprint the 1st time. Moved us to a room with 2 single beds and then when we arrived the room didn't single beds, just a runaround upon checkin. Check out was much smoother.
Restaurant Tip : Try Kori at Poppies Lane II it was fabulous!

I use the P/E ratio as a secondary indicator for buying and selling stocks but I do not use the ratio in the same a manner as many value investors teach. I’ll explain the difference in my methodology for using the P/E ratio to your advantage.
Many value investors will pass on a growth stock which has a P/E ratio greater than a predetermined amount. By way of instance, they may discard all stocks with a ratio of 15 or greater, regardless of what industry group they come from. Some traders will discard any stocks that have P/E ratios over the market group averages, concluding they are grossly overvalued. I am not saying that this method does not work, as it does but it won’t work when you concentrate on purchasing young innovative small cap stocks which are growing at enormous rates, rates that”large caps” can no more sustain.
I have never passed on purchasing a stock as a result of its P/E ratio being too large. What is too large? Too large to one investor may be reduced to another investor. This is the same logic that I use when talking of stock’s prices. 1 difficulty that have with some value investors is their lack of understanding of the motion of their P/E ratio line on a graph. As a stock starts to move 100% or 200% from its pivot point, the P/E ratio will even move higher over the course of time. Plotting the P/E ratio on a graph will show you just how much of a profit the ratio has made since the stock continues its up-trend.
Value investors who pass on purchasing stocks with P/E ratio above a certain threshold have missed some of the biggest winners of all time (the 10-baggers as Peter Lynch would say). Analysts frequently downgrade stocks when their P/E ratios cross what they think to be fully valued thresholds.
Some things in life are worth more than anything else although they supply the identical use, like a car. I often use this case often but I’d rather have a Mercedes for $50k over a Pinto for $10k. They will both take me where I wish to go but I appreciate the amenities that the Mercedes provides me and the additional comfort, style and quality that comes with the luxury vehicle. The same is true for stocks, certain businesses offer greater appeal and are appreciated at greater ratios than their opponents. The greatest materialistic things in life, such as growth stocks, are often bought at a premium.
Growth stocks usually game higher P/E ratios compared to the rest of the overall marketplace, even at the beginning of up-trends. A top P/E ratio typically means that the inventory is enjoying strong demand. If a stock climbs in cost from 40 to 60, its P/E ratio also increases 50%. Despite the fact that the P/E ratio may be high according to some analysts and worth investors, the stock might be going to breakout from a cup-with-handle and go to double from this stage. Would you want to lose out on a potential 100% profit because the P/E ratio is too large?
Once I buy a stock, I notice the existing P/E ratio and graph it together with the price. Historically, P/E’s that transfer up 100%-200% or more while the inventory is progressing, usually become vulnerable stocks and can begin to become flash and extended market signals. It holds true for a stock with a P/E beginning at 15 and visiting 40 or a stock using a P/E of 50 and visiting 115. Do not skip over EXCELLENT businesses which are growing at amazing clips due to a high P/E ratio. What may seem high today, could be low later on! Earnings and Sales are a lot more important. Cost and quantity are the most significant. The P/E ratio is no more than a secondary indicator which may be used to further assess the stocks in your portfolio.
Consistently use price and volume as your first line of defense and offense. From that point, turn to a dependable secondary signs to verify your original analysis and make a determination. I would never throw out a stock because its P/E ratio is too large. Take GOOG for instance, every value investor missed the 100% profit this stock boasted following the launch of its IPO. Growth stocks are expensive for a reason, remember the analogy into a Mercedes. | 912 |

N-O-S will provide crew transfer support to Ørsted’s UK West Coast Hub through the provision of seven CTVs over the next three years.
The first vessels will start at the beginning of 2021 and will be accompanied by more vessels gradually until the summer.
The N-O-S crew transfer vessels will operate on Walney, Walney Extension, West of Duddon Sands, Barrow, Burbo Bank, and Burbo Bank Extension offshore wind farms – using Ørsted’s Barrow and Liverpool operations sites as base ports.
“We are pleased to have been selected for this scope, and this award is based on many years of good cooperation between N-O-S and Ørsted. This long-term agreement will further strengthen our position and commitment in the UK market.” Says Fredrik Hallqvist, CCO at Northern Offshore Services A/S. | 234 |
