More perhaps than any other European nation, the Swiss are accustomed to looking after foreign travelers. As early as the 18th century, wealthy French, Germans and Italians were treating the country as a amusement center while, in the 19th century, it became the major holiday playground for the British nobles. Today, it attracts visitors from all over the world. The Swiss are clear about the importance of tourism to their economy, which contributes about eight percent of Gross National Product, and helps the industry greatly. Managers of hotels the world over go to Switzerland to learn how to do the job, and a generally high standard can be expected from the great majority of the country's hotels, most of which are small and pride themselves on a personalized service. Public transport is the best in Europe. Both the Swiss Federal railways and the private railways are fully electrified, and the total network is made up of about 5000 kilometers of track. Under the Fly Baggage system passengers can check luggage in at 116 railway stations and have it automatically carried to their flight. The national highway system is equally well planned, and the mountain roads offer views of some of the country's most breathtaking scenery. Also serving the mountains is an effective system of railways and cable ways, while more than 160 passenger cars cross the lakes and rivers to and fro. Hiking in the mountains is equally popular with Swiss nationals and foreign visitors. For those who want to view the country from a height without having to climb the mountain themselves, it is always possible to take in the view from a balloon. According to the passage, Switzerland is now often visited by _ .
A. wealthy French
B. rich Germans and Italians
C. noble British
D. people from various countries
Answer:D

Student asked: Can we conclude from "A naked cowboy taking pictures with two ladies." that "The cowboy is taking pictures with two ladies."?
Options:
- yes
- no
- it is not possible to tell
Teacher's response: Let's think. A cowboy taking pictures with two ladies is said the same way. The answer is yes.
Student asked: Premise: "A woman with bright pink hair and a flower apron holds an electric mixer in a red bowl."
Hypothesis: "Mixing together her ingredients."
Do we know that the hypothesis entailed by the premise?
Teacher's response: Let's think. A woman wants to make a large cake for her husband. The answer is it is not possible to tell.
Student asked: Test for natural language inference.
Premise: "A man in a brown coat and pants stands on a crowded street holding a blue sign about god."
Hypothesis: "The man wants people to think more about god."
Is the hypothesis entailed by the premise?

On the continuity of Russia
At the moment, tag russia has the following description:
The largest country in the world, spanning territory from the eastern edge of Europe to Siberia in northern Asia, except for the period 1918-1990, when it was known as the "Soviet Union"
How does this make any sense? Did Russia cease to exist during the Soviet period? Didn't the Russian SFSR ever exist? When did Soviet Russia and Soviet Union become synonyms? Should tag ukraine be applied in the context of Soviet Ukraine?
Let us take a look at Germany. There are tags imperial-germany, weimar-republic, nazi-germany and germany. The latter has the following description:
For questions on German Empire, Weimar Republic, German Democratic Republic and the modern Federal Republic of Germany. Questions regarding the Third Reich should be tagged with nazi-germany.
So, what is the History SE policy on this? Embarrassing regimes that fought the U.S. and lost should have their own tags?
Uffff. Where does Muscovy fall in this?..
Ideally, ... Oh, wait. Why does peter-i-russia exist? Why does saint-petersburg exist? Oh my... :) ...
There are 319 questions under russia. This is quite a few...
I propose a series of tags, much like in recent discussions for China and Japan:
• russia: Russia in general; only to be used with the soviet-union if the question focusses solely on the Russian SFSR.
And then the timeline:
• medieval-russia/kievan-rus/russian-principalities: For questions relating primarily to Medieval Russia, Kievan Rus, and other principalities (Novgorod, Vladimir, Pskov);
• muscovy/russian-tsardom: Covering the end of the Mongol yoke to Peter I's westernization;
• imperial-russia: Russia from 1721 to 1917, Peter I to Nikolai II;
• russian-revolution: A catch-all to cover the political and economical upheaval from the October Revolution to the proper establishment of the Soviet state;
• russian-civil-war: To go with the above but relating specifically to military questions; primarily also serves as the 'home' for questions relating to Kolchak and the whites and events relating to them;
• soviet-union: Questions relating to the federal political entity that existed from 1917 to 1991;
• russian-federation: Relating to events since 1991 in the Russian Federation.

Howland & Aspinwall
Howland & Aspinwall was a merchant firm based in New York City in the 1830s and 1840s. It specialized in the Pacific Ocean trade, especially the importing of goods from China. It is best known for taking a pioneering role in the financing of clipper ships, especially the American-built "Rainbow" and "Sea Witch".
History.
The firm, originally known as G.G. & S.S. Howland, was founded by brothers Gardiner Greene Howland and Samuel Shaw Howland. In 1832, upon the admission of their clerk, William Henry Aspinwall, the firm became known as Howland & Aspinwall.
Howland & Aspinwall imported high-status goods such as porcelain, silk, and tea from China, and sold them to Americans of means. Import duties paid by firms such as Howland & Aspinwall played a significant role in the financing of the American federal budget during the 1840s. Howland & Aspinwall exported opium to China.
Pacific Mail Steamship Company.
In 1848, as a result of the United States's acquisition of California, partners G.S. Howland, S.S. Howland, and William Henry Aspinwall turned their attention from the China trade to California traffic. Improvements in the marine steam engine had begun to make clipper ships and other fast sailing ships obsolete. With other New York businessmen, the Howland and Aspinwall interests formed the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. Pacific Mail eventually became American President Lines, which is now part of Neptune Orient Lines.
Legacy.
Part of the Aspinwall family fortune was eventually bequeathed, through paternal grandmother Mary Aspinwall Roosevelt, to Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States.

Are you trying to learn a new language in a foreign land? You might be better off if you stopped looking at that picture of your family and friends. New research from Columbia University found that prompting someone who is learning a new language with images and reminders of their own culture could temporarily ruin everything that the brain was trying to build. When native Chinese students were asked to talk with a Caucasian avatar and a Chinese avatar, their English skills were so different. Simply exposing students to a Chinese person affected their ability to speak English. Subjects who talked with the Chinese version felt more comfortable in their speech, but they produced 11% fewer words per minute. They actually became less fluent speakers. To make sure it wasn't just the avatar, researchers also showed people random images of China while the participants told a story. When pictures of their homeland appeared, fluency dropped 16% and volunteers were 85% more likely to use a literal translation, for example, calling _ "happy nuts", because that's literally what the Chinese word for pistachio means. When the students were shown pictures of fish with one swimming ahead of the others, their culture would change how they look at the photo. With Chinese prompt, like photos of the Great Wall or Chinese Dragon, etc. they saw more students thinking that the fish was being chased, while an American prompt, like pictures of Marilyn Monroe or Superman, saw those students believing that it was a leader fish. The bottom line is: when attempting to learn a new culture it is far better to surround yourself with that culture than create an island of the old one. From the passage we can infer that _ .
A. different images would change with different people
B. different cultures would affect how students look at the photo
C. with Chinese prompts, more students thought that it was a leader fish
D. with an American prompt, more students thought that the fish was being chased

Can blackbelly rosefish ("cantarilho" in Portuguese) or HELICOLENUS DACTYLOPTERUS, a fish, be considered a substitute of spiny lobster ("lagosta" in Portuguese), a crustacean?
Some people say, after cooking a seafood rice with both, you can't differentiate the fish (fish loin only) from the lobster anymore.
Since the price for lobster is significantly higher than for the fish, I wonder how to detect if it was cooked with crustacean only, or was "stretched" with blackbelly rosefish?

• Er, lobster and crawfish are two different animals, with different flavors. Which are you looking for?

• @FuzzyChef crawfish is what we have here in Portugal, updated the question

I think what @FuzzyChef is getting at is: are you asking if you can use the fish in the place of the crawfish, or are you asking if they taste different to each-other? If you cook both together then flavours blend and you may not be able to distinguish them.

Spiny lobsters, also known as langustas, langouste, or rock lobsters, are a family (Palinuridae) of about 60 species, maybe I should edit it into langouste, which is the closest to the portuguese word?

What's your goal? Both can make an excellent base for a seafood based rice dish. In a side by side, I bet you would be able to tell the difference. If you are trying to do this surreptitiously, maybe not a good idea. More importantly, does it matter? Why not just make blackbelly roefish rice with broth...call it blackbelly roefish rice with broth...make it delicious, and enjoy? If you are suspicious that you were tricked, maybe ask the chef.

SYMPATHO-ADRENAL RESPONSE TO HYPOGLYCEMIA IN INFANCY
The response of the sympatho-adrenal system to hypoglycemia (H) of different etiology was studied in 7 infants ages 10 to 189 days. Five infants had hyperinsulinemia (HI) secondary to nesidioblastosis or microadenoma of the pancreas, one had neonatal sepsis due to staphylococcal infection and one congenital hGH- and ACTH-deficiency.In babies with HI plasma noradrenaline (NA) increased from 0.29±0.06 to 0.68±0.14 ng/ml (p < 0.01), whereas adrenaline (A) increased only in three, but did not alter in two babies. Increases in heart rate and blood pressure paralleled these changes. In H due to sepsis NA increased from 0.39 to 1.64 ng/ml and A from 0.05 to 0.86 ng/ml, associated with marked hemodynamic changes. In contrast in hGH- and ACTH-deficiency the low basal plasma levels of NA (0.12 ng/ml) and A (0.01 ng/ml) remained unchanged in response to H and heart rate as well as blood pressure were unaffected.The present data indicate, that the sympatho-adrenal system is activated in response to hypoglycemic stimuli except for congenital hGH- and ACTH-deficiency. However, the precise role of NA as counterregulatory hormone in neonatal H remains unclear. For the first time the preponderant role of NA to H in infancy is described, which is in contrast to the A response observed in adults and children beyond two years (Gerich et al, Am J Physiol 236, 1979).

A MUSIC (multiple signal classification) algorithm for specifying azimuth, elevation, and range of multiple sources
The MUSIC (Multiple Signal Classification) algorithm uses the phase difference at different antenna elements of a receiving antenna array to determine the azimuth and elevation angles of a source. This algorithm can be extended to determine the range of multiple sources as well as their azimuth and elevation angles. In this report a generalized MUSIC algorithm is presented that accomplishes this task when the receiving antenna consists of a planar, rectangular, array of receiving elements. Greater range accuracies can be achieved by increasing the signal to noise ratio, increasing the number of PRIs per CPI, and searching for a solution over range space with a finer mesh. The mesh employed in this study had a range gate size that was 10% of the range space searched. An increase in range accuracy gained by the latter two methods comes at the price of increased processing time.

A noise bifurcation architecture for linear additive physical functions
Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) allow a silicon device to be authenticated based on its manufacturing variations using challenge/response evaluations. Popular realizations use linear additive functions as building blocks. Security is scaled up using non-linear mixing (e.g., adding XORs). Because the responses are physically derived and thus noisy, the resulting explosion in noise impacts both the adversary (which is desirable) as well as the verifier (which is undesirable). We present the first architecture for linear additive physical functions where the noise seen by the adversary and the noise seen by the verifier are bifurcated by using a randomized decimation technique and a novel response recovery method at an authentication verification server. We allow the adversary's noise ηa → 0.50 while keeping the verifier's noise ηv constant, using a parameter-based authentication modality that does not require explicit challenge/response pair storage at the server. We present supporting data using 28nm FPGA PUF noise results as well as machine learning attack results. We demonstrate that our architecture can also withstand recent side-channel attacks that filter the noise (to clean up training challenge/response labels) prior to machine learning.

Crystal Ear One day a friend asked my wife Jill if I wanted a hearing aid. "He certainly does,"replied Jill. After hearing about a remarkable new product, Jill finally got up the nerve to ask me if I'd ever thought about getting a hearing aid. "No way,"I said. "It would make me look 20 years older.""No, no"she replied. "This is entirely different. It's Crystal Ear!" Jill was right. Crystal Ear is different ---- not the old-styled body worn or over-the-ear aid, but an advanced personal sound system so small it's like contacts for your ears. And Crystal Ear is super-sensitive and powerful, too. You will hear sounds your ears have been missing for years. Crystal Ear will make speech louder, and the sound is pure and natural. I couldn't believe how tiny it is. It is smaller than the tip of my little finger and it's almost invisible when worn. There are no wires, no behind-the-ear device. Put it in your ear and its-ready-to-wear mold fits comfortable. Since it's not too loud or too light, you may even forget that you're wearing it! Use it at work or at play. And if your hearing problem is worse in certain situation, use Crystal Ear only when you need it. Hearing loss, which is typically prior to teenage years, progresses throughout one's lifetime. Although hearing loss is now the world's number-one health problem, nearly 90 percent of people suffering hearing loss choose to leave the problem untreated. For many millions, treating hearing loss in a conventional way can involve numerous office visits, expensive testing and adjustments to fit your ear. Thanks to Crystal Ear, the "sound solution"is now convenient. Almost 90 percent of people with mild hearing loss, and millions more with just a little hearing dropoff, can be dramatically helped with Crystal Ear. Moreover, its superior design is energy-efficient, so batteries can last months. Crystal Ear is now available to help these people treat their hearing loss with a small hearing amplifier . Why did the writer refuse to wear a hearing aid at first?
A. It would make him look like an old man
B. He did not get the nerve to wear one
C. It looked old-styled.
D. It was too costly

Thunder, lightning and heavy rain hit Miami. Referee Ricardo Salazar decided to postpone the game for 30 minutes. Roy Hodgson appeared relaxed in an interview with ITV. Players returned to action around 40 minutes later.
Write an article based on these highlights. By. David Kent. England's final World Cup warm-up game against Honduras was postponed after just 22 minutes due to an electrical storm in Miami. The players were ordered off the pitch at the Sun Life Stadium as stormy clouds appeared over the venue. Fans were also urged to move out of the stadium. A message displayed on the big screen read: ‘Due to inclement weather, with associated lightning, feel free to exit the seating bowl and move to the inner concourse.’ Threat: Lightning strikes in Miami after England's friendly with Honduras was suspended because of a storm. Danger: Fans were asked to leave the Sun Life stadium as the players departed the pitch. You're off: Referee Ricardo Salazar informs Jordan Hendersoon (right) and Wayne Rooney (second right) of his decision. Big decision: Referee Salazar blows his whistle as he prepares to tell players about the storm threat. The players went to the sidelines for what appeared to be a drinks break, only to be called over by referee Ricardo Salazar who informed them of his decision to impose a 30-minute match suspension. Both teams re-emerged at 5.44pm local time - 36 minutes after they began leaving the field - for a warm-up, with the scoreboard announcing play would resume at 5.51pm. The match restarted shortly afterwards with a Honduras goal-kick. The players had begun playing in temperatures of 31 degrees Celsius and 59 per cent humidity - almost identical to the conditions in Manaus, where England's World Cup campaign starts in seven days. Speaking to ITV after leading his players down the tunnel, England boss Roy Hodgson said: ‘It’s a surprise. You don’t come across this very often. ‘I’ve encountered this on the golf course and you don’t continue if there is a storm around. ‘We can only accept and appreciate the referee’s decision. All we can do is wait for the 30 minutes.’ The Three Lions are due to depart for Brazil at 10.30pm local time and Hodgson was confident that the delay will not affect their plans. He added: ‘It’s a private plane so I would like to think we will be okay.’ Blow: England's players trudge off the field as fans of both countries look on from the stands. Insight: England boss Roy Hodgson (second from right) chats with ITV presenter Adrian Chiles (right) On the run: Adam Lallana (left) attempts to beat his man at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami. Hodgson's men kept possession well in the early stages, perhaps in preparation for the style they will need to play against Italy next Saturday. Danny Welbeck managed the first shot of the day with just four minutes on the clock, stinging the palms of Noel Valladares but getting a knock for his troubles. The Manchester United attacker eventually stopped limping but the sight was a concern - much like Glen Johnson's early defensive play. Back in the side after James Milner played makeshift right-back against Ecuador, first his clumsy touch gave away a corner from which Victor Bernardez blazed over and then he was unable to prevent Carlo Costly clipping over a cross. They were, however, rare nervy moments for England returned to the attack, with Steven Gerrard skewing a strike wide before Valladares somehow spilled a 30-yard Wayne Rooney free-kick. Before the storm: Steven Gerrard plays a pass before the game was suspended. Going for goal: Wayne Rooney bends a free-kick towards Honduras' goal early in the game. Famous fan: Former England captain David Beckham (left) watches England in action. A loud crack of thunder rang around the ground as Rooney overran a ball, before he linked-up with United team-mate Welbeck to set-up England's best chance yet. The latter played the ball out wide to Rooney, whose ball back across was met by a neat stepover by Welbeck, allowing Sturridge to spin and strike a left-footed shot inches wide. That was the best moment of the match and the last before the unforeseen break in play.

Can people change their skin colour without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour. The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science. Scientists have changed the colour of a dark-striped zebra fish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebra fish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes . The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour. It appears that, like the golden zebra fish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation in the gene for melanosome production. This results in less pigmented skin. However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebra fish genes. Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun, which can cause skin cancer. But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng. Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin colours, said Cheng. The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin colour without damaging it like chemical treatment done on Michael Jackson. The passage is probably taken from _ .
A. a novel
B. a science report
C. a story book
D. a science fiction

I'd like to put my Raspberry Pi into a kiosk mode with Chromium directed to my website but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to work. I've been following a few different guides, and the code they have given me has all been slightly different so I'm not sure what exactly to follow.
So far I've tried a few different variations of changing the code in
/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
with this:
#@xscreensaver -no-splash
@xset s off
@xset -dpms
@xset s noblank
@chromium --noerrdialogs --kiosk http://localhost --incognito
I also put the same code in
/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
It still boots to just the desktop and I'm at a loss of what to do, as there doesn't seem to be very many tutorials discussing this and none that are recent.
I have a Raspberry Pi 2 running Raspbian Jessie with Chromium 45 installed. I found that you need to copy the existing autostart file to your local:
mkdir -p /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/
cp /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
So edit this local version:
nano /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
#@xscreensaver -no-splash # comment this line out to disable screensaver
@xset s off
@xset -dpms
@xset s noblank
@chromium-browser --incognito --kiosk http://localhost/ # load chromium after boot and point to the localhost webserver in full screen mode
Save
sudo reboot

The effects of water temperature and season on feed intake and gonad growth of green sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis were evaluated. Animals were tested at six temperatures (4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 degrees C) in summer (July-September) and in winter (November-January). Sea urchins (64.5 +/- 3.4 g mean wet body weight +/- S.D.) were held individually in square chambers and fed ad libitum a formulated moist feed. Gonad index (GI), feed intake (FI), and feed conversion ratios (FCR) were measured. There was a significant increase in GI for all treatments during the summer trial, and sea urchins held at 6 degrees C had a significantly larger GI compared to those held at 4 degrees C (P < 0.05).
There was no significant difference in GI between sea urchins held at 10, 12 and 14 degrees C, and they had a significantly higher GI compared to the lower temperature groups. In the winter trial sea urchins held at 8 degrees C displayed a significant higher GI compared with the other temperatures. There was a significant and linear increase in FI with increasing temperature both during summer and winter. Thus, FI in the summer (S) and winter (W) trials increased from initial 0.34 (S) and 0.26 (W) (g/urchin per day) at 4 degrees C, to 0.71 (S) and 0.93 (W) (g/urchin per day) at 14 degrees C. In summer, sea urchins held at 12 degrees C had a significantly lower FCR (3.3) compared to animals held at 8 degrees C (FCR=4.0). The situation was reversed in winter, where sea urchins displayed the lower FCR (3.7) at 8 degrees C than those held at 12 degrees C (FCR=6.0). Overall, our findings suggest that optimum gonad growth of adult green sea urchins is achieved at higher temperatures in summer than in winter. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.

Cutaneous Features, Autoantibody Profile, and Nailfold Capillaroscopy of Systemic Sclerosis: A Study of 60 Cases
a score of 28 ± 10.4. Antinuclear antibody (ANA), Anti-topoisomerase antibody (ATA), and anti-centromere antibody (ACA) were positive in 59, 49, and 7 patients, respectively. The NFC patterns were early (23.3%), active (45%), and late (18.3%). Limitation: The sample size of the study was small. We were not able to determine the significance of other less common autoantibodies with scleroderma. Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of identifying early cutaneous findings and the role of a useful diagnostic and prognostic reproducible scoring system (mRSS) and NFC.

Inflammatory pseudotumor simulating malignancy: a rare complication after total hip arthroplasty
Purpose: Particulate debris created by accelerated polyethylene wear in totally replaced hips causes adverse local reactions. We report an extreme form of such a reaction in a patient who developed progressive thigh pain, weakness and numbness after total arthroplasty of his left hip.
Methods: An abdominopelvic computed tomogram showed a large intrapelvic cystic mass interpreted as a malignant tumor. Dark grayish-green fluid was aspirated from the cyst and cytopathologic examination showed necrotic debris without malignant cells. Biopsy revealed necrosis and abundant foreign body granulation tissue with polarizable debris.
Results: During surgical removal of the cyst a defect of the inner acetabular wall was noted. After successful revision arthroplasty with allograft bone the clinical symptoms improved.
Conclusion: A foreign-body reaction to wear debris may produce an intrapelvic mass and corresponding symptoms. Cytologic and histologic examination of the mass or fluid may aid in interpreting the clinical picture and imaging studies.

The forces that make Japan one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries could become part of its long-term energy solution. Water from deep below the ground at Japan's tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity. Although Japanese high-tech companies are leaders in geothermal technology and export it, its use is limited in the nation. "Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy," said Yoshiyasu Takefuji, a leading researcher of thermal-electric power production. The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 caused a reaction against atomic power, which previously made up 30 percent of Japan's energy needs, and increased interest in alternative energies, which account for only 8 percent. Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy, following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 percent of its needs. For now, geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan, which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power. The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories.Another problem is that Japan's potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden. "We can't even dig 10cm inside national parks." said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric, adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow. Researcher Hideaki Matsui said, "Producing electricity using hot springs is a decades-long project.We also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decline in the short term." The Earth Policy Institute in Washington, US, believed Japan could produce 80,000 megawatts and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology. Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology, with a 70 percent market share.In 2010, Fuji Electric built the world's largest geothermal factory in New Zealand. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Alternative energies in Japan
B. World's largest geothermal plant
C. Japan takes the lead in geothermal technology
D. Japan thinks of geothermal energy

It is bad to have food stuck between your teeth for long periods of time. This is because food attracts germs; germs produce acid, and acid hurts your teeth and gums. Flossing helps to remove the food that gets stuck between your teeth. This explains why flossing helps to keep your mouth healthy, but some doctors say that flossing can also be good for your heart. It may seem strange that something you do for your teeth can have any effect on your heart. Doctors have come up with a few ideas about how flossing works to keep your heart healthy. One idea is that the germs that hurt your teeth can leave the mouth and travel into your blood.Germs that get into the blood can then attack your heart. Another idea is based on the fact that when there are too many germs in your mouth, the body tries to fight against there germs. For some reason, the way the body fights these mouth germs may end up weakening the heart overtime. _ . Some doctors think that the link between good flossing habits and good heart health is only a coincidence. The incidence of two or more events is completely random, as they do not admit of any reliable cause and effect relationship between them. For example, every time I wash my car, it rains. This does not mean that when I wash my car, I somehow change the weather. This is only a coincidence. Similarly, some doctors think that people who have bad flossing habits just happen to also have heart problems, and people who have good flossing habits just happen to have healthy hearts. The theory that flossing your teeth helps to keep your heart healthy might not be true. But every doctor agrees that flossing is a great way to keep your teeth healthy. So even if flossing does not help your heart, it is true to help your teeth. This is enough of a reason for everyone to floss their teeth every day. From the passage, we know that _ .
A. food stuck between your teeth may hurt your teeth
B. all of the doctors agree that flossing is good for your heart
C. doctors' judgment about flossing is based on medical research
D. not every doctor thinks flossing helps to keep your teeth healthy

In American crime movies, policemen search crime scenes for anything that might belong to a criminal-- bits of fingernail , blood or hair-- in order to find out who they are. What they hope to find is the key to their identity--their DNA. DNA is the chemical that contains a person's genetic makeup. Every person, except for identical twins, has unique DNA information. That is why we can use it to identify someone. There is no doubt that DNA evidence is becoming a very powerful tool for law enforcement officers. In the US, all 50 states and the federal government keep DNA databases of some criminals after they have been convicted . Whenever a crime happens, the police collect DNA from the crime scene and compare this with samples they already have in the criminal database. If they match any suspect in the database, then they've caught their criminal. Even if they don't, the DNA sample can still be used to determine the person's sex, height, hair and eye color1 and other characteristics. This helps police to create a physical profile of the criminal. Some people feel that the database should be made bigger to contain everyone's DNA and help to solve many more crimes. This would also avoid mistakes when someone is wrongly convicted of a crime. DNA doesn't make mistakes. However, other people are worried that it would violate their privacy. Someone's DNA can be used to gather information such as the person's family and ethnic background, whether he or she has a gene mutation or certain genetic diseases, and other personal issues. People are afraid that this information might be used inappropriately. They may fear that employers might read it and treat them differently. People may also be afraid that personal data might get into the hands of insurance firms or loan companies. For example, if they knew from your DNA that you had a genetic risk of a serious disease, they might be able to refuse you life insurance, a loan, or even a job. Clearly, the use of DNA evidence will continue to help the police solve crimes. However, social and ethical concerns about DNA will also remain a topic of debate. What is the article mainly about?
A. The possibilities opened up by DNA technology
B. The controversy over DNA databases
C. How DNA databases are built
D. What role DNA plays in solving crimes.

Characterization of long‐range time‐varying underwater acoustic communication channels
We present communication channel characterizations performed on in‐situ measurements from the Baltic and North Sea. The communication channels were probed using pseudorandom binary sequences (PRBS), obtaining time‐variant channel impulse responses through wideband matched filtering. Characteristics central to communications were obtained. Included are: scattering functions, coherence‐times and coherence bandwidths. The validity of the quasi wide sense stationary uncorrelated scattering (quasi‐WSSUS) assumption was also investigated for the measured channels. Measurements were acquired in the joint European project “UUV Covert Acoustic Communications.” The project aims to design an acoustic communication system between an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) and a support mother ship. The first sea trials of the project focused on the acquisition of noise and long‐range, low‐frequency communication channel data for the explicit purpose of building an acoustic channel simulator.

Bifurcation of multiple-input parallel dc-dc converters with dynamic winner-take-all switching
This paper studies nonlinear dynamics of multiple-input parallel dc-dc converters. Dynamic winner-take-all switching is used for parallel connection and can realize multi-phase synchronization that is basic for current sharing with ripple reduction. As parameters vary, the synchronous state bifurcates to a variety of phenomena including hyperchaos and complex superstable behavior. Applying a simple piecewise constant modeling we give precise results of typical bifurcation phenomena.

There is no doubt that Apple is well aware of the increased competition in the market and could be in a hurry to put another device out there, said Ramon Llamas, senior research analyst at IDC Mobile Devices Technology and Trends. Given its history with product launches and business policy, though, Apple probably isn't going to rush an iPhone release simply to put it on shelves, he said. "If you're Tim Cook (CEO of Apple), you're thinking if you want to pay more attention to how to keep growing that bottom line and keep investors happy, or continue with the same approach from Apple, which is do what we can do and manage products and releases in the best way they can work for us. Apple usually does things in their own time ,and I'm having a hard time buying this May or June timeline." Llamas told Mac News World. While it,s probable that Apple is definitely in a testing stage for its next smartphone , consumers likely have a standard wait for the finished product, said Colin Gibbs, analyst at GigaOm Pro. "It typically takes a year or longer to create a state-of-the-art smartphone, so no one should be surprised Apple is in the testing stages with the next iPhone. And while it's possible that Apple could launch the next iPhone this spring or summer, I'm not expecting to see it until a little later in the year," he told Mac News World. When it does launch, though, it could be in a variety of colors, said Gibbs. "Apple has already tested the waters with releasing colored devices when it revamped(,)its iPod line last fall, so it's not too much of a stretch to believe it would want the new twist with its smartphone, as well". "I wouldn't be surprised if the new iPhone becomes available in some new colors,'' he said. "That could be done pretty cheaply ,and it would give Apple a new marketing angle." This passage is presented in the form of _ .
A. stories

C. advertisements

A mother's ad calling for her son to come home for Chinese New Year ran on the front page of the Chinese Melbourne Daily newspaper on January 14. It placed a full page ad, saying "Dear Peng, I've called you many times but you don't pick up, maybe you will see this. Dad and mom won't ever force you to get married anymore, come home for Chinese New Year! From your mom who loves you." The ad, which appeared on the front page of the Chinese Melbourne Daily on Tuesday, would cost $2,796.80 Australian dollars ($2465). The newspaper serves the city's Chinese community. The mother, who lives in Guangzhou had placed the ad after losing contact with her son. Every year around this time, many Chinese prepare to head home for China's most important festival. But many of the younger generation are afraid of facing family confrontations about their love life. On the online Chinese forum Tianya. cn, a single man asked for advice on facing his family. "It's almost that time of the year. How should I explain to my family and relatives that I am single?" a user in Guangzhou "1979xiaozhu" posted. Many of the replies were telling him not to go home instead. User "qianlidaiwanwoduxing" wrote: "Going home means they will either arrange blind dates for you or you get scolded." "This year my mom gave me an ultimatum. One, bring 50,000 yuan; second, bring a wife home. If I don't have both then she said I don't need to come home. What a tragedy!" said user "fghjkh84". Those girls who can't handle the pressure of parents can rent a boyfriend for the day through China's online shopping giant, Taobao.com. Rental boyfriends come with services such as meeting the parents, shopping and watching movies. From the passage we can infer _ .
A. the user "1979xiaozhu" is a married young man
B. the user "qianlidaiwanwoduxing" will go home
C. the user "fghjkh84" will bring a wife home
D. some single girls have to bring an untrue boyfriend home

Years after throwing a bottle-up note into a lake for a class project and just one year after his death, a man's childhood message was found and returned to his mother. Eleven years ago, a then 10-year-old boy, Joshua Baker, wrote the message, folded and put it in an empty container, his mother, Maggie Holbrook said. He died last February in a motor vehicle accident in California. He had recently returned after a serving in the Middle East as a US marine. "I think he was just letting us know he was OK and keep doing what we are doing." Holbrook said. The message surfaced in White Lake in late April, just days after the 11th anniversary of its being thrown into the lake. It was found by one of Baker's closest friends, Steve Lieder, she said. Lieder and two friends were chatting near the lake when Lieder looked down and saw the bottle. He broke it open and found the note inside. "My name is Joshua Baker. I am 10. If you find this, put it on the news. The date is 4/16/98." They immediately took it to Holbrook, who said she is now having the note preserved and will display it in her home. She can remember when her son wrote the message for the school project. She said she always wondered why he didn't put it in the nearby Wolf River, which has a much stronger current. "I still remember the day he wrote it, " Holbrook said. "I couldn't understand why he threw I in the lake. No one would never see it again. Now I know." What was Joshua Baker when he died in motor vehicle accident in California?
A. An official
B. A soldier
C. A worker
D. A teacher

Deline-Ray is founder of Wildlife Rescue Nests. She designs and makes strong, soft nests, which she donates to wildlife rescue groups to use as little recovery nests for sick and injured animals. She also shares her patterns for others to copy. Deline-Ray began making her nests in 2013, while she was recovering from a broken hand, and "spending too much time online."One thing led to another -- as happens on the internet -- and she discovered a woman who was making similar nests for U.S.-based wildlife groups, as an alternative to the hard boxes used to contain the animals these groups care for. "I thought it was such a wonderful idea and went searching to see whether there was anything like it set up for our wildlife rescues in Canada," she says. "To my surprise there wasn't. So I started contacting wildlife rescues and they agreed to try some out." Some modifications were made to already-existing patterns. And then, like a little bird taking its first flight, the nests went out into the world. These days, Deline-Ray sends nests -- always for free -- to 60-some wildlife rescue groups, where injured birds and rabbits nestle inside the soft spaces while they are recovering. Her future plans include making more nests, organizing new volunteer knitters and helping as many wildlife rescuers as possible take care of their animals in this charming way. "I have no formal training with wildlife, just a great love for it." Deline-Ray says. "I love making the nests because I have a great admiration for all the amazing work the wildlife rescues do. I feel like I have a part in giving back to wildlife in a small way." According to the passage, we can know Katie Deline-Ray _ .
A. admires what the wildlife rescues do
B. has designed the first nest pattern in the world
C. knits nests which are only intended for injured baby birds
D. keeps a record of the nests she has made over the years

The Effect of the Time Interval Between Exposures on the Susceptibility of Chickens to Superinfection with Marek's Disease Virus
Abstract Marek's disease virus (MDV) is ubiquitous within commercial poultry flocks because current vaccines do not prevent MDV infection or transmission. In order for newly-evolved MDV strains to become established within a flock, it seems inevitable that any new strain would need to infect and replicate in chickens previously infected with resident MDV strains. This phenomenon is difficult to detect and there is no clear evidence that it is even possible. Four experiments were performed to demonstrate superinfection and evaluate the effect of time between challenges on the effect of superinfection with the use of two pairs of fully virulent MDV strains that could be discriminated by novel technology: 1) JM/102W and rMd5//38CVI , and 2) rMd5 and rMd5//38CVI. Feather follicle epithelium (FFE), spleen, and tumor samples were collected at single or multiple time points from the same bird to determine the frequency and distribution of each virus present following superinfection, with the use of pyrosequencing and immunohistochemistry. Superinfection was observed in 82 of 149 (55%) FFE samples following short-interval challenge (24 hr) compared to only 6 of 121 (5%) samples following long-interval challenge (13 days), indicating a strong influence of challenge interval. In cases where the first inoculated virus was weak or delayed, the second inoculated virus was detected in 42 of 95 (44%) birds. In tumors from dually challenged birds, the second virus was again present much more often following short-interval challenge (68%) compared to long-interval challenge (11%). Virus mixtures in tumors were less common compared to those in FFE samples. Vaccination with turkey herpesvirus had no significant effect on the virus frequency for either virus pair or challenge time interval, suggesting these conclusions may be applicable to vaccinated chickens in the field. These studies demonstrated superinfection for the first time with two fully virulent MDV strains and suggest that short-interval challenge exposure and/or weak initial exposures may be important factors leading to superinfection—a prerequisite for the establishment of a second virus strain in the population. This model system should be useful to elucidate this important phenomenon further.

New evidence shows that getting enough Vitamin D may be the most important thing you can do for your health. You know the usual prescription for good health: a balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, regular exercise, no smoking.Now add this: Spend a little more time in the sun. Huh? That may sound like medical .After all, we've been warned for decades about the dangers of the sun: wrinkles, age spots and the increasing threat of skin cancer.But new and impressive medical evidence suggests that sunlight is beneficial.The vitamin D it our bodies to make may prevent cancer, protect against heart disease and ward off a long list of disorders such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes and gum disease.It is even showing promise as a treatment for heart disease and some cancers. Long recognized as vitally important for bone building (it's needed for calcium absorption), vitamin D has now achieved superstar status among nutrients.While all doctors may not agree, many experts are confident enough of its wide-ranging powers to urge that we get much more of it, from the sun and from supplements, as even the best diet in the world may not give us enough.

Visually elicited reaching in neonates.
Infants aged 8-16 days were shown a small ball, a picture of a ball, and a homogeneous stimulus card. Their reaching behavior was scored for each stimulus condition. a reach was defined using the following 3 criteria: (1) lateral extension of the arm, (2) arcing movement of the arm toward midline, and (3) flexion of the arm toward the upper half of the body. The mean rates of reaching per minute for the ball, the picture, and the homogeneous or blank card were 2.94, 2.78, and 1.83, respectively. t tests showed significant differences between the ball and blank-card conditions (p less than .002) and between the picture and blank-card conditions (p less than .007), but not between the ball and picture conditions. Thus, arm movements resembling reaching can be visually elicited in neonates, but they are elicited as readily by 2-dimensional as by 3-dimensional stimuli. Furthermore, infants do not refrain from reaching when a large central area of their visual field is blank. These results suggest only that the probability of reaching-like behavior is increased by the presence of a patterned visual stimulus.

One of Britain's bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected police killer David Bieber --- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to PS30,000 reward money . Vicki Brown , 30 , played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt . Vicki , who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years , told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber's bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building. She said : " I was very nervous . But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there." The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious of the guest who checked in at 8 pm the day before New Year's Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said : " He didn't seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact." Vicki, the only employee on duty , called her boss Margaret , 64 , and husband Stan McKale, 65 , who phoned the police at 11 pm. Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston , Gateshead , at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man . Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes. " It was about ten to two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ' Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside ?' My heart missed a beat ." Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key. " I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel , so I went to watch . I could not see into the man's room , but I could see the passage . The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing . Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed ." Vicki's heart missed a beat because _ .
A. the phone went again
B. she could be famous
C. she saw 20 policemen in the car park
D. she would lead the policemen to catch the man

Smoggy weather has become common in China. But these days, air pollution levels in the north eastern city of Harbin surpassed the previous record levels. The city was essentially shut down after PM2. 5, fine Particulate pollution that is considered hazardous . reached levels of 1000 micrograms per cubic meter-40 times the safety level remended by the World Health Organization. Schools, motorways and an airport were closed on Tuesday as visibility in some areas of the city dropped to less than 10 meters. Photos from Harbin showed residents covering their mouths with masks and scarves, and moving like ghostly shadows through the fog. Cars and motorcycles are moving slowly as traffic came to a standstill with traffic lights barely visible. . Just days previously , the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified air pollution as a carcinogen . It stated that there is " sufficient evidence" that exposure to outdoor air pollution causes lung cancer and also linked it with an increased risk of bladder cancer. It's said that exposure has increased significantly particularly in " rapidly industrial countries with large populations". "The air we breathe has become polluted with a mixture of cancer-causing substances" , Dr Kurt Straif , head of the IARC said in a press released. "We now know that outdoor air pollution is not only a major risk to health in general, but also a leading environmental cause of cancer deaths. " On the Chinese social media site Weibo , many users complained about the pollution and shared their concerns. References to "feed people with smog "have become popular on Weibo and there is a sarcastic play on the expression "serve the people" , as the two have a similar pronunciation. "The impact of air pollution on people will be gradual. There won't be a sudden outbreak of symptoms, but normally three to five days after the smoggy weather occurs, there is a peak in the number of people seeing doctors, " Deng Ying, a doctor at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University was quoted as saying. According to Dr Kurt Straif , we can learn that _ .
A. the effect of the. smoggy weather is gradual
B. air pollution is the man environmental cause, of cancer deaths
C. exposure has greatly increased in countries with large populations
D. "feed people with smog" has bee a hot word

After a day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other. Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs your eyeballs begin to move quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement. If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep. A good title for this passage is _ .
A. Sleep.
B. Good Health
C. Dreams
D. Work and Rest

On my first day in America, I was excited, but nervous as well. It was my dear neighbor Susan who helped me get used to my new life far away from home. There was a knock at the door. When I opened it, Susan came in with a home-made apple pie. She hugged me and said:"You must be the precious Chinese doll!" With a big smile, she went on:"Alice, I am sure you have never, ever tried a home-made apple pie before! You are going to love it so much!" To be honest, I was greatly surprised by this welcome from a stranger. And the apple pie made me feel at home. Susan was very helpful to me. When I was thinking about a costume to wear on Halloween, she suggested I dress up like a traditional Chinese girl. "I happen to have a traditional Chinese dress and guess what, I am a great make-up artist!" she said. Susan didn't hide her excitement, when, after an hour of hard work, she pushed me to the mirror to examine our work. The clothes fit me perfectly! I am sure that I _ from the crowd that Halloween, and I am very grateful to Susan for her help. My first Thanksgiving was another highlight. On the festival morning, I was surprised to find a gift box in my front yard. There was a note on it:"Hello Alice, I am the Thanksgiving bunny! Enjoy your gift!" I looked around and caught Susan looking at me from the porch. Seeing that she had been caught, she awkwardly picked up a newspaper and pretended to read it. I couldn't help laughing. When I walked up to her, she said:"It was not me. It was the Thanksgiving bunny!" Susan is such a lovely person; she is the American above all others I need to thank. I saw that the spirit of the Chinese saying, that "Neighbors carry more weight than distant relatives," is alive and well in America. Susan filled my heart with warmth and joy, just as angels do.

The flag, the most common symbol of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country. The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact. It is, rather, the product of thousands of years' development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction. Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People's food supplies were similarly _ . Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another. Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves. These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked. The king of China around 1000 B.C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag. What will the author most probably talk about next?
A. The role of China in the spread of the national flag.
B. The second ancestor of the national flag.
C. The use of modern flags in Europe.
D. The importance of modern flags

Update on drug-drug interaction at organic cation transporters: mechanisms, clinical impact, and proposal for advanced in vitro testing
ABSTRACT Introduction: Organic cation transporters collectively called OCTs belong to three gene families (SLC22A1 OCT1, SLC22A2 OCT2, SLC22A3 OCT3, SLC22A4 OCTN1, SLC22A5 OCTN2, SLC29A4 PMAT, SLC47A1 MATE1, and SLC47A1 MATE2-K). OCTs transport structurally diverse drugs with overlapping selectivity. Some OCTs were shown to be critically involved in pharmacokinetics and therapeutic efficacy of cationic drugs. Drug-drug interactions at individual OCTs were shown to result in clinical effects. Procedures for in vitro testing of drugs for interaction with OCT1, OCT2, MATE1, and MATE2-K have been recommended. Areas covered: An overview of functional properties, cation selectivity, location, and clinical impact of OCTs is provided. In addition, clinically relevant drug-drug interactions in OCTs are compiled. Because it was observed that the half maximal concentration of drugs to inhibit transport by OCTs (IC 50) is dependent on the transported cation and its concentration, an advanced protocol for in vitro testing of drugs for interaction with OCTs is proposed. In addition, it is suggested to include OCT3 and PMAT for in vitro testing. Expert opinion: Research on clinical roles of OCTs should be reinforced including more transporters and drugs. An improvement of the in vitro testing protocol considering recent data is imperative for the benefit of patients.

An Interleaved Boost Converter with Coupled Inductor for PV Energy Conversion
This paper presents an interleaved boost converter with coupled inductors for photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion. The proposed soft-switching boost converter uses an interleaved method to increase its power density and coupled-inductor technology to extend its step-up voltage ratio. To reduce switching losses of active switches, the proposed interleaved boost converter incorporates a synchronous switching technology to obtain a wider soft-switching range. Thus, the conversion efficiency can be further improved. In order to draw the maximum power from the PV energy, a perturbation-and-observation method and a microchip are as- sociated to implement maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm and power regulating scheme. Finally, a prototype soft-switching interleaved boost converter with coupled inductors has been built and implemented. Experimental results have been proposed to verify the performances and feasibility of the proposed soft-switching interleaved boost converter for PV energy conversion.

Detection of vim- and ipm-type metallo-beta-lactamases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates.
BACKGROUND
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most important bacterium isolated from burn wounds, and its resistance to imipenem due to metallo-beta-lactamases is increasing. This study was designed to detect vim1, vim2, ipm1 and ipm2 metallo-beta-lactamases genes between Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates isolated from Shahid Motahari Burns Hospital, Iran.
METHODS
To that end, we isolated 483 nonduplicate consecutive isolates of P. aeruginosa from burn infections; and after biochemical confirmation, we examined the imipenem susceptibility via the Kirby-Bauer method. All the imipenem-resistant and imipenem-intermediate isolates were screened for vim1, vim2, ipm1 and ipm2 genes through the PCR method.
RESULTS
From the 483 isolates, 272 (56%) and 63 (13%) isolates had resistant and intermediate zones in their imipenem antibiogram pattern, respectively. Fifty-four (16.1%), 7 (2.1%), 22 (6.6%), and 11 (3.3%) of the resistant and intermediate isolates had vim1, vim2, ipm1 and ipm2 genes in their PCR results, respectively.
CONCLUSION
MBL-mediated imipenem resistance in P. aeruginosa is a cause for concern in the treatment of infective burn patients. The rate of imipenem resistance due to MBL was increased dramatically and newer versions of MBL families were detected for the first time. These results suggest that an effective method should be provided to fight MBL production in clinical isolates.

A part-based online modeling algorithm and its applications on robust visual tracking
This paper proposes a part-based online object modeling and tracking method. The desired object is first tracked by IVT tracker which returns the appearances of objects in several leading frames. On these appearance subimages of object the SIFT key points are collected to build the training set for part detecting and modeling. NCut clustering then partitions key points into groups and the Gaussian models are employed to build the structure of object. Groups with the minimum variances of Gaussian models are considered as the parts. Given the learned parts, their corresponding appearance-based detectors are set by the solutions to the out-of-sample problem of NCut. Once a new key point is found in testing frames, the key point is classified by the part detectors and only the member of the learned parts are the survivals. The detected new part then spreads its scores around the potential centers indicated by its corresponding Gaussian model. The assembly of parts thus is completed by sum all scores up for all new instances in one frame. The maximum of sum scores points out the object locations if the score is above a fixed threshold. Otherwise, the re-training stage is called to update the detectors and the models. The experimental results on several challenging video sequences demonstrates the successful use of the proposed method.

Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind.How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing. By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand.Often, explaining a thought is the process of understanding.In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your "explain power." Try this experiment.Explain how you'll increase your brain power, even if you have no idea how right now.Just start with anything, and create an explanation.For example, start with "I'll learn chess," or "I'll read an article on the mind every week." Explain how that will help.You'll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan, and if you actually do this, you'll have a better understanding of your brain twenty minutes from now. Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember.Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes.You can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you're working on a big project, you'll probably have more success. Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it.That's an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a friend about it, and you will understand it better.Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problem, why you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and you're half-way there. Writers don't always write because they clearly understand something beforehand.Often, they write about something because they want to understand it.You can do the same.Writing will help bring you to an understanding.Give it a try. If a writer writes something, it means that he or she _ .
A. has understood it very well
B. needs to understand it better
C. wants to remember it in his or her mind
D. is exercising his or her "explain power"

Chromosomal mapping of the MADS-box multigene family in Zea mays reveals dispersed distribution of allelic genes as well as transposed copies.
A linker PCR procedure has been developed for preparing repetitive DNA-free probes from genomic clones, which is especially efficient for members of gene families. Using this procedure as well as standard methods to prepare hybridization probes, chromosomal map positions of MADS-box genes were determined in recombinant inbred lines of maize (Zea mays ssp. mays). It appears that MADS-box genes are scattered throughout the maize genome. While there is evidence that this genomic distribution is representative for plant MADS-box genes in general, the following two other observations probably reflect Zea genome organization. First, at least one family of MADS-box-carrying elements contains line-specific versions, which are present in some maize lines at certain chromosomal positions, but are absent from these loci in other lines. The members of this family resemble transposable elements in some respects. Secondly, the finding of pairs of highly related MADS-box genes which are accompanied by other duplicated markers is a further indication of the ancestral polyploid genome constitution revealed with other markers. The importance of these findings for an understanding of the genomic organization of MADS-box genes and the evolution of the MADS-box gene family is discussed.

North Korea nakabuo ng H-bomb
Filed under Daigdig, Features Balita RSS RSS Feed
PYONGYANG/WASHINGTON (AFP) – Nakabuo ang North Korea ng hydrogen bomb na maaaring ikabit sa bagong intercontinental ballistic missile ng bansa, ipinahayag ng Korean Central News Agency kahapon.
Hindi pa malinaw kung matagumpay na napaliit ng Pyongyang ang mga armas nuclear nito, at kung mayroon na itong gumaganang H-bomb, ngunit sinabi ng KCNA na sinuri ni North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un ang mga armas sa Nuclear Weapons Institute.
Ito ay “thermonuclear weapon with super explosive power made by our own efforts and technology”, iniulat ng KCNA na sinabi ni Kim, at “all components of the H-bomb were 100 percent domestically made”.
Ipinakita ang mga larawan ni Kim na sinusuri ang metal casing na may dalawang bulges.
Lalong pinahusay ng North ang kanyang “technical performance at a higher ultra-modern level on the basis of precious successes made in the first H-bomb test”, iniulat ng KCNA na sinabi ni Kim, idinagdag na iniutos nito na simulan na ang “tasks to be fulfilled in the research into nukes”.
Nag-usap naman sina US President Donald Trump at Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe para talakayin ang ‘’growing threat’’ ng North Korea.
‘’The two leaders reaffirmed the importance of close cooperation between the United States, Japan, and South Korea in the face of the growing threat from North Korea,’’ saad sa pahayag ng White House nitong Sabado.
Hindi nito nilinaw kung nag-usap ang dalawang lider bago ipinahayag ng Pyongyang na nakabuo na ito ng H-bomb na maaaring ikabit sa bagong missile.

The influence of Chinese character handwriting diagnosis and remedial instruction system on learners of Chinese as a foreign language
This study designed and developed a Chinese character handwriting diagnosis and remedial instruction (CHDRI) system to improve Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) learners’ ability to write Chinese characters. The CFL learners were given two tests based on the CHDRI system. One test focused on Chinese character handwriting to diagnose the CFL learners’ errors in the stroke order and their knowledge of Chinese characters, while the other test focused on the spatial structure of Chinese characters. Sixty-five participants, who had a strong desire to learn Chinese characters, voluntarily participated in this study. The results revealed that the CHDRI system enhanced the CFL learners’ ability to write Chinese characters and to understand the spatial structure of Chinese characters, especially Sinosphere CFL learners. Moreover, it was found that remedial instruction materials not only reduced the amount of time the teacher spent coaching CFL learners in Chinese language learning but also facilitated the teacher's ability to provide feedback to individual learners.

Jimmy MacBeath
Jimmy MacBeath (1894–1972) was a Scottish Traveller and Traditional singer of the Bothy Ballads from the north east of Scotland. He was both a mentor and source for fellow singers during the mid 20th century British folk revival. He had a huge repertoire of songs, which were recorded by Alan Lomax and Hamish Henderson.
Life.
Jimmy MacBeath (pronounced the same as Macbeth) was born to a family of Scottish Travellers in the fishing village of Portsoy, Banffshire, Scotland. He learned songs such as "Lord Randall" (Child Ballad 12) from his mother. At the age of 13 he started work as a live-in farm hand at Deskford. He was a bachelor all his life and learned many songs in the bothies, or farm huts where the male farm workers lived. He was to be a traveller for much of his life; in 1908 he took his first long walk, from Inverness to Perth. In the First World War he joined the Gordon Highlanders and fought in Flanders. Later he served in the Royal Army Medical Corps during the Irish War of Independence. In the 1920s he was demobbed. Working as a kitchen porter, begging and at seasonal fruit picking, he set about tramping the roads of Scotland, England, the Channel Islands, and Nova Scotia. In the streets, pubs, hiring fairs, and markets he earned money by singing. It is even said that he sang in cinemas, which had no piano to play during silent films. He tended to wander during the summer, and spend the winter in Elgin. He died in Tor-na-Dee Hospital in Aberdeen and was buried in his native Portsoy.
Singing career.
Jimmy MacBeath was a "traditional singer". He was part of the last generation to sing traditional songs in bothies, along with John Strachan, and Willie Scott, In the 1920s he travelled the roads with Davie Stewart, who was also a singer, and who played the bagpipes and accordion. Their styles were very different, so one sang while the other collected. He lived in "model lodging houses", government-run houses for homeless men, slightly better than "flophouses". In 1951 Alan Lomax and Hamish Henderson were in Turriff, when they heard about Jimmy in Elgin. At the prospect of living at the expense of Columbia Records, he came to Turriff and stayed at one of the best hotel rooms. In 1952 he went to London to appear on the earliest folk series on British television. For many years he was popular in folk clubs. When he sang "The Barnyards of Delgaty" at the 1951 Edinburgh People's Festival Ceilidh, the audience were rapturous.
A number of the songs he sang has been passed on to singers involved in the early times of the Folk Revival in England and Scotland e.g. "The Keach in the Creel" and "Tramps and Hawkers". Peter Kennedy's collection "Folksongs of Britain and Ireland" (1975) included 13 of Jimmy MacBeath's songs.
His songs and interviews have examples of beggar's cant, a secret language.
These words are Romany, and ultimately Hindi. He also sang songs in Doric dialect, such as "Fa Would Be a Fisherman's Wife?". For lovers of the occult, track 11 on CD 2 of "Two Gentlemen of the Road", is of interest. He describes the initiation ceremony of "The Horseman's Word", a kind of Masonic organisation for horsemen wanting to control horses using secret words. They met between midnight and 1 a.m. and asked the initiate as series of questions, including "Was the road crooked or straight?" - "The Road was dark and crooked. I come by the light of the moon". He would be harnessed and dragged through chaff—broken fragments of dry sharp stalks of wheat. The initiate would have to shake hands with a young calf. This might be interpreted as greeting the devil. The initiate wore a tricorne hat, and heard obscure words recited from a book. Alan Lomax's response is "Sounds like witchcraft to me". MacBeath is very sceptical about the whole affair. There is no way of knowing whether this is a centuries-old ceremony, or a scam dreamed up in the 19th century to prevent outsiders from getting work as horsemen.

Metallophthalocyanines for PDT Applications: A DFT Study
Phthalocyanines (Pcs) are an important group of substances with interesting chemical and physical properties with many different application areas. The use of Pc compounds in photodynamic therapy (PDT), especially in the treatment of cancer, has gained great importance in recent years. In this study, the spectral and electronic properties of new PDT active anticancer non-peripheral tetrakis [2-mercaptoquinoline]phthalocyanine and metal complexes were examined by using Density Functional Theory (DFT). Their properties were computed in DMSO and water phases. The UV absorption spectrum study results show that the main transition responsible for the Q band of the molecular spectrum is from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text]. The presence of the heavier atom in the Pc cavity has the effect of enhancing the fluorescence quantum yield. In addition, photochemical singlet oxygen production of newly synthesized phthalocyanine and metal complexes was also investigated. The calculated spectral (UV, IR, NMR) and singlet oxygen yield results were compared with the experimental ones and they were in good agreement.

In England,factory holidays come mostly in the period between mid-July and mid-August. State schools usually only have six weeks off, from about mid-July to the end of August. The coast is the most popular place for the English people to spend their holidays, but there are few seaside hotels. Food in British hotels and restaurants is cheap, but rooms are not. Few English people rent houses for their holidays, but one of their traditional ways of spending a summer is in a boardinghouse . Some boardinghouse keepers give all meals to their guests, others provide breakfast only. The British may refuse to change the times at which they take their holidays, but they have shown themselves very ready to go to new places. Every year, more Englishmen, women and children go to some parts of Europe. Many take their cars, crossing the channel by ship. When they get home again, they always talk about how they spend their holidays. From the passage we know that _ .
A. factory holidays are as long as school holidays
B. school students usually stay away from school for one and a half months in summer
C. factory holidays are longer than school holidays

Birmingham----The wedding took place in aprefix = st1 /Birminghamhotel. The bride and her father arrived in a new black American sports car. Her father looked nervous and uncomfortable in front of the cameras. The bride wore a silk wedding dress. She smiled nervously at the waiting photographers and went to a room on the first floor where she met her future husband for the very first time. Carla Germaine and Greg Cordell were the winners of a radio station's competition. The aim of the competition was to find two strangers prepared to marry without having met each other. Miss Germaine,23, is a model. Mr. Cordell, 27, is a TV salesman. They were among the two hundred people who entered for a peculiar "experiment" organized by BMRB radio in Birmingham,England. Greg and Carla were among eight finalists who were interviewed live on radio. They took a lie detector test and the station also spoke to their friends and family about their personalities. The competition judges included an astrologer who declared that they were suited. The couple celebrated their wedding with a wedding breakfast and a party for 100 guests in the evening, but not everyone shared their joy. Miss Germaine's mother looked anxious throughout the wedding and Mr. Cordell's parents are reported to be less than delighted. Organizations, including the marriage guidance service Relate, have criticized the marriage. As one person put it, "We have enough problems getting young people to take marriage seriously without this. Marriage should always be about love."

Determinants and Effects of Cultural Context: A Review, Conceptual Model, and Propositions
ABSTRACT Edward Hall's pioneering work on “Silent Languages” of time, space, material possessions, friendship patterns, and agreements and his conceptualization of cultures as low-context and high-context have inspired numerous research studies on international and cross-cultural marketing. Despite these widespread applications, there is no research to date that integrates the theoretical foundations and applications of Hall's work in a single study. In this context, the current research delivers on the following three goals: (a) an extensive literature review of Hall's work on cultural context is done; (b) a conceptual model is developed that depicts the determinants and effects of cultural context; and (c) 12 propositions are developed, contrasting the effect of low- versus high-context cultures on a variety of cultural themes, such as Hofstede's five cultural dimensions, mono-chronic or M-time versus polychronic or P-time orientation, and relationship building etc. International marketing implications of this research and directions for future research are discussed.

Scientists explain why people often blame others when things don't work out. Researchers say that when it comes to fixing blame, we can't always trust our own judgment .When things go wrong and we're to blame, we 're supposed to feel guilty. Right? Not necessarily. It turns out that when we do something that causes a negative result, we actually feel less responsible for our actions. But we see the entire situation differently if things turn out well. The "blame game" is nothing new. Behavior experts have long known that people push responsibility to others, or to outside factors, when things don't work out. But the new research shows that this reaction is more than about wanting to escape blame. We actually don't believe that what happened is our fault. To learn more about the "blame game", researchers conducted a study. They asked 34 people to press keys that produced three different noises. The noises were positive (amusement, laughter), negative (fear, upset, or anger), or neutral . The volunteers were asked to try to judge the time that it took between when they pushed the button and when they heard the sounds. Volunteers felt there was longer time between their actions and the negative sounds than that between their actions and the positive ones. In their minds, the negative results were separate from their actions. Therefore, they were able to feel less responsible for them. The findings suggest that perhaps more of us need to realize that unpleasant or negative situations may actually be our fault - even if we don't see it that way. And taking more responsibility for our actions could lead to better relationships with others. If one feels longer time before hearing the sounds, he probably pushes the button

Optimization of blood–myocardial contrast in 3D true FISP cardiac imaging at 1.5 T
Three‐dimensional (3D) steady‐state free precession (SSFP) MRI sequences are often applied to visualize both intra‐ and extracardiac pathologies. In the present study the contrast behavior of 3D true fast imaging with steady precession (True‐FISP) sequences for cardiac imaging was optimized in numerical simulations and compared with measurements obtained in eight healthy volunteers on a 1.5 T whole‐body scanner. Two SS preparation schemes in combination with and without a T2 preparation were assessed to improve contrast between blood and myocardium using a navigator‐gated and ECG‐triggered 3D True‐FISP sequence. Numerical simulations and experimental studies in volunteers showed that an SS preparation using a constant flip angle (CFA) is preferable to a linear flip angle (LFA) preparation in terms of contrast between blood and myocardium. The optimized 3D True‐FISP sequence provides a reliable, accurate, and time‐efficient means of obtaining a morphological cardiac diagnosis. Magn Reson Med 57:213–219, 2007. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

A Defect Classification Network Based on Deformation Dense Connection in Wire Rod Surface Image
Surface defects significantly impair the quality of wire rod products in steel manufacturing industry. In this paper, a defect classification network with deformation dense connection is proposed to integrate low-level texture features and high-level semantic features of defect image, in order to fully utilize the low-level texture feature. The deformation dense connection is composed of Dense Block(DB) and down-sampling cross-layer connection to enhance the utilization of low-level feature while avoiding the increasing of the depth of the network. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieved 97.02% classification accuracy. The performance of the proposed method is qualified in the application of quality control of wire rod production.

[Question]: Mrs. Thompson bought 3 chickens for $3 each. She also bought a bag of potatoes. Mrs. Thompson paid $15 in total. How much did the potatoes cost?
[Answer]: The 3 chickens amount to $3 x 3 = $9. Hence, the potatoes cost $15 - $9 = $6.
So the answer is 6.
[Question]: Mark is baking bread. He has to let it rise for 120 minutes twice. He also needs to spend 10 minutes kneading it and 30 minutes baking it. How many minutes does it take Mark to finish making the bread?
[Answer]: First find the total rise time: 120 minutes * 2 = 240 minutes. Then add the rise time to the baking and kneading time: 240 minutes + 10 minutes + 30 minutes = 280 minutes.
So the answer is 280.
[Question]: In a certain school, 2/3 of the male students like to play basketball, but only 1/5 of the female students like to play basketball. What percent of the population of the school do not like to play basketball if the ratio of the male to female students is 3:2 and there are 1000 students?
[Answer]: The students are divided into 3 + 2 = 5 parts where 3 parts are for males and 2 parts are for females. Each part represents 1000 / 5 = 200 students. So, there are 3 x 200 = 600 males. And there are 2 x 200 = 400 females. Hence, 600 x 2 / 3 = 400 males play basketball. And 400 x 1 / 5 = 80 females play basketball. A total of 400 + 80 = 480 students play basketball. Therefore, 1000 - 480 = 520 do not like to play basketball. The percentage of the school that do not like to play basketball is 520 / 1000 * 100 = 52.
So the answer is 52.

They like using the Internet. They have lots of pocket money to spend. And they spend a higher proportion of it online than the rest of us. Teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in, and the things they want to buy-games, CDs and clothing-are easily sold on the Web. But paying online is a tricky business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards. Most have to use a parent's card. They want a facility that allows them to spend money. That may come sooner than they think: new ways to take pocket money into cyber space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. If successful, these products can stimulate online sales. In general, teenagers spend huge amounts: $153bn (billion) in the US last year and PS20bn annually in the UK. Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school-88 percent in the US, 69 percent in the UK. According to the Jupiter Research, one in eight of those with Internet access has bought something online-mainly CDs and books. In most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children. Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing on the high street. They are more likely to ask "Why?" if you ask to spend some money online. One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cybercash is through prepaid cards such as InternetCash in the US and Smart cards in the UK. Similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones, they are sold in amounts such asPS20 or $50 with a concealed 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. More than half of the teenagers in the US and the UK have Internet access.
B. Teenagers pay for goods online with their own credit cards.
C. Most teenagers in the US and the UK have bought something online.
D. Teenagers found it easier to persuade parents to buy online than in a shop.

Dear Editor: I have been reading your newspaper, the Hometown Gazette, for the past two years, ever since I moved to Smithville because of my work. We moved here from New York City, so I am used to reading excellent newspapers such as the Washington Post and the New York Times. In fact, we still have the Times delivered on Sundays. All the members of my family enjoy reading the recipes in the magazine, as well as the Styles section. My children are crazy about their sports section. The Times is great, but the Gazette is another story. I've never read an article that doesn't contain at least three or four spelling or grammatical errors. For example, in last week's issue, you misspelled the word "secretary", used a singular verb with a plural noun, and used "it's" as a possessive . And that was just in the lead story! In case you never went to elementary school, "it's" means "it is". It's not a possessive pronoun! In another case, the re-port you gave on an event was completely different from other newspapers. I didn't know what the reason was. It's a pity that this city, Smithville, Wisconsin, has only one newspaper, because I'd like to have an alternative to the newspaper you publish. I find it hard to believe your news stories. If you can't spell correctly, how can you get your facts right? I've been meaning to get this off my chest for some time. Please cancel my subscription . And buy your-self a dictionary. Sincerely, Jane Z. Jones What is the writer's attitude towards the Gazette?
A. Angry.
B. Sympathetic.
C. Happy.
D. Positive.

LONDON ( Reuters)-- Ecotourism is causing a lot of damage to wildlife and may be endangering the survival of the very animals people are flocking to see, according to researchers. Biologists and conservationists are worried because polar bears, dolphins, penguins and other creatures are getting stressed and losing weight and some are dying. "Evidence is growing that many animals do not react well to tourists in their backyard," New Scientist magazine said. The immediate effects researchers have noticed are changes in behavior, heart rates, or stress hormone levels but they fear it could get much worse and over the long term "could endanger the survival of the very wildlife they want to see". Although money produced through ecotourism, which has been growing at about 10--30 percent a year, has major benefits for poor countries and people living in rural areas, the Swiss-based World Conservation Union (IUCN) and some governments fear not all projects are audited and based on environmentally friendly policies, according to the magazine. "The transmission of disease to wildlife, or small changes to wildlife health through disturbance of daily life or increased stress levels, while not obvious to the casual observer, may translate to lower survival and breeding," said Philip Seddon, of the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. Scientists have noticed that bottleneck dolphins along the northeastern coast of New Zealand become nervously excited when tourist boats arrive. Similar changes in behavior have been observed in polar bears and yellow-eyed penguins in areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller babies. Conservationists are now calling for more research into the effect of ecotourism on animals and say the industry must be developed carefully. They also want studies done before new ecotourism projects are started. "The animals' welfare should be very important because without them there will be no ecotourism," said Rochelle Constantine of the University of Auckland in New Zealand. What's the text mainly about?
A. Many animals are dying because of lack of money.
B. There will be no ecotourism without animals.
C. Ecotourism could endanger the survival of the wildlife people want to see.
D. More research should be done on ecotourism.

Avatar 2 Plot Details Reveal Major Trouble for Sully's New Family
Next December, 13 years after Avatar broke box office records around the globe, James Cameron's popular sci-fi franchise will finally be returning to the big screen. Cameron has four more Avatar movies on the way, the first of which will arrive at the end of 2022, and fans are anxious to finally see what the return to Pandora has in store. Virtually nothing is known about the plot of this next Avatar movie, other than it takes place near the oceans of Pandora. Now we finally know why.
Avatar 2 producer Jon Landau recently spoke to Total Film Magazine as a part of the publication's 2022 preview issue, and opened up a bit about the story of the highly anticipated sequel. Avatar 2 picks up more than a decade after the original film, keeping true to the time that has elapsed in real life. Sam Worthington's Sully and Zoe Saldana's Neytiri have become parents and are raising their own family. Their lives are upended when the RDA mining operation returns to Pandora and forces them on the run.
"And when you get to the reef, there's a clan we call the Metkayina," Landau said. "The Sullys are no longer in the environment they know, the rainforest. They become the fish out of water. They become the fish out of water both culturally and just environmentally."
Landau also explained that what makes the story of Avatar 2 so strong and relatable is its ability to incorporate themes that go beyond one single genre.
"The scripts are the blueprint from which we work," the producer explained. "So a large portion of our time was writing... with the challenge that each of those four scripts had to individually resolve itself in a story that concludes with a big emotional resolution — but when you look at them as a whole, the connected story arc of all four movies creates an even larger epic saga."
"I think the story of Avatar 2, and the strength of the story, is what Jim always does in any of his movies: he writes in universal themes that are bigger than any one genre," he continued. "And if you think about this, there's really no more universal theme than family. At the center of each of our sequels is the Sully family. What are the dynamics that parents go through to protect their family?"
Avatar 2 is set to hit theaters on December 16, 2022. The first Avatar is currently streaming on Disney+.

It's such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it's pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens. It's a library built with love. A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, "That's what we're going to do for our spring break!" Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn't see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he'd built years earlier for daughter Abbie's toy horses, and made a door of glass. After adding the library's final touches , the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to "take a book, return a book," and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County. ks5u They stocked it with 20 or so books they'd already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids' favorites. "I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again," said Janey, a stay-at-home mom. Since then, the collection keeps replenishing itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day. The project's best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. "We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular." (317 words) The library was built _ .
A. by a ship supply company
B. on the basis of toy horses
C. like a mailbox
D. with glass

REVIEW OF CURRENT LITERATURE
1 . Experimental Observations on the Formation of Amniotic Fluid. (Experimenteller Beitrag zur Frage der Fruchtwasserentstehung.) JANTZEN, K., ZICHEL, R., and LEPPIEN, G. (1969): Geburtshilfe und Frauenheilkunde, 29(10), 907-91 3 . October. 2 figs. 18 refs. Using the umbilical vessels, 38 normal placentae were perfused-10 of them with a solution of one per cent methylene blue, 25 of them with plasma containing one per cent methylene blue and 3 of them with Rheomacrodex containing one per cent methylene blue. The time taken for the dye to appear in the tap water or amniotic fluid in which the placentae were immersed was measured. Marked blue discoloration was noted after 3 to 5 minutes when a solution of one per cent methylene blue was used for perfusion, while only slight discoloration was noted after 22 to 58 minutes and 16 to 24 minutes when plasma with methylene blue and Rheomacrodex with methylene blue were used respectively. Sephadex gel filtration apparently showed no evidence of a bond between plasma proteins and the dye which might have explained the results obtained. The osmolality of the fluid in which the placentae were immersed did not appear to influence the rate at which dye escaped from the atlanto-chorial vessels. The authors conclude that diffusion from atlanto-chorial vessels does not contribute significantly to the formation of amniotic fluid and that it is not influenced by osmotic pressure changes in liquor amnii. They believe that amniotic epithelium has an active secretory function

Does the School Really Support My Child? SOFIA: An Assessment Tool for Families of Children with SEN in Spain
The integration of the family in educating their children allows for the optimization of educational intervention. Despite its relevance, there is not much research aimed at collecting the voice of the families of students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) about their relationship with the school system. The present study aims to develop and validate a questionnaire of the family perception of the support received from the educational system, the Satisfaction of Family in Inclusive Education Assessment (SOFIA) Questionnaire, conformed of 26 indicators. Analyses of the psychometric properties of the instrument support that they are good for use in this area. Specifically, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses support the internal structure of the instrument (confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA) = SBχ2 = 607.11, p < 0.001; χ2/df = 2.07; Comparative Adjustment Index (IFC) = 0.902; Incremental Adjustment Index (IFI) = 0.903; the root mean square error approximation (RMSEA) = 0.071) in the same way, all dimension showed adequate reliability (Cronbach’s alpha ranged from 0.91 to 0.94; CR ranged from 0.91 to 0.95). The Average Variance Extracted (AVE) results also showed adequate results (0.55 to 0.68). Our research results indicate that the SOFIA Questionnaire’s psychometric properties are adequate for the Spanish context. The SOFIA Questionnaire is presented as a valid and reliable instrument to collect the families’ perception of the support they receive from the educational system.

Derrius Quarles, 19, had an unhappy childhood. But the Chicago teen didn't give up. He tried his best and won $1 million in college scholarships ! Now Derrius is a successful college student with a bright future. When Derrius was 4, his father was killed. His mother couldn't take care of him because of taking drugs. Derrius and his 9-year-old brother sometimes had to steal food to eat. Derrius felt different from other kids. In seventh grade, Derrius went to live in a foster home . His foster parents weren't nice to him. They told him that he'd never be anything in life. Derrius didn't do his best in school. The summer after ninth grade, that changed. Derrius had signed up for a biology class. He didn't go to class the first day. On the second day, he showed up late. His teacher took him outside. She told him he was smart, but that he was wasting his potential . The talk inspired him and he planned to prove that he could be anything if he worked hard enough. Adults at a summer program helped Derrius find out about scholarships he could earn to pay for college. In his senior year, Derrius filled out lots of applications. He told his friends, "You're not going to see me for a long time." Derrius's hard work paid off. He won more than $1 million in scholarships! He has a lot to be proud of. But he's most proud of helping others. Derrius gives speeches to teens, telling them how to find scholarships. In high school, Derrius got help buying a computer. He wanted to help others who needed them. Last year, he gave two laptops to high school students. There's a lot of work in his future. Derrius doesn't mind -- hard work has got him where he is today. He knows can take him anywhere. From Paragraphs 2 and 3, we can learn that Derrius _ .
A. always studied hard in school
B. lived in the same foster home with his brother
C. hated his parents very much
D. was encouraged a lot by his biology teacher

The Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering: Designing, Implementing and Sustaining Interdisciplinary Solutions to Transform Healthcare Delivery Systems
With start-up funding provided by the Regenstrief Foundation, Purdue University has created the Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering (RCHE) to design, implement, and sustain interdisciplinary solutions to improve the safety, quality, efficiency and accessibility of healthcare delivery systems. RCHE's primary goal is to bring a systems- analysis approach to improving the processes of healthcare delivery, not to provide tools or techniques for medical research, diagnosis, or treatment. This article will describe RCHE's business model; that is, how RCHE 'engineers' interdisciplinary solutions, using the multiple perspectives of healthcare and multiple project time scales to organise and leverage healthcare delivery transformation. We then illustrate the model through the description of projects conducted with RCHE's 'partnerships' with various healthcare delivery organisations. We conclude with a discussion of future directions for RCHE.

Hybrid Work from Home Clinical Academic Environment: A One-Year Follow-Up Survey of Attitudes and Beliefs of Members of a Department of Palliative Care, Rehabilitation, and Integrative Medicine.
Context: Palliative, Rehabilitation, and Integrative Medicine (PRIM) department members anonymously reported a positive experience with work from home (WFH) two months after its rapid pandemic transition in March 2020. Data are limited on the stability of such preferences and experiences over time. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to survey the attitudes and beliefs of PRIM employees toward remote work 16 months after the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic since vaccines and to determine changes in perceptions of WFH. Methods: All 138 PRIM employees were invited to participate in an anonymous survey from mid-July to mid-August 2021. The 30-question survey included demographics, perceptions toward WFH, and the pandemic. Results: One hundred fifteen (83%) employees completed the survey: 29 (74%) research, 62 (83%) clinicians, and 24 (100%) administrative personnel. Most were female (76%), 30-59 years old (88%), PRIM employees before May 2020 (89%), shared office space (52%), and had received either first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine (88%). Overall experience (86%) and emotional response (74%) with WFH were positive and not significantly different from 2020 (p = 0.128 and 0.782, respectively). Positive experience was associated with having adequate equipment (p = 0.002), perception of productivity (p = 0.002), financial advantage (p = 0.002), and time demands caring for dependents (p = 0.038). Clinicians reported less positive response (78%, p = 0.002) and less productivity (49%, p = 0.002) with WFH and higher level of stress (54%, p = 0.026) since COVID-19. Employees continued to support WFH permanently (79%) for two or more days/week (82%). There was continued increased emotional exhaustion (71%) similar to 2020 (p = 0.868), and being asked to work partially or completely from home permanently was favored by 64% versus 97% and 96% of clinicians, research, and administrative, respectively (p = 0.002). Conclusions: Support for WFH was sustained a year later and after three pandemic waves. These findings serve as a model for future rapid work transitions and can help elucidate factors associated with stress and emotional exhaustion in a new post-COVID-19 work environment.

Clustering Data in Peer-to-Peer Systems
With the advances in network communication, many large scale network systems have emerged. Peer-topeer (P2P) systems, where a large number of nodes self-form into a dynamic information sharing system, are good examples. It is extremely valuable for many P2P applications, such as market analysis, scientific exploration, and smart query answering, to discover the knowledge hidden in this distributed data repository. In this chapter, we focus on clustering, one of the most important data mining tasks, in P2P systems. We outline the challenges and review the start-of-the-art in this area. Clustering is a data mining technique to group a set of data objects into classes of similar data objects. Data objects within the same class are similar to each other, while data objects across classes are considered as dissimilar. Clustering has a wide range of applications, e.g., pattern recognition, spatial data analysis, custom/market analysis, document classification and access pattern discovery in WWW, etc. Data mining community have been intensively studying clustering techniques for the last decade. As a result, various clustering algorithms have been proposed. Majority of these proposed algorithms is designed for traditional centralized systems where all data to be clustered resides in (or is transferred to) a central site. However, it is not desirable to transfer all the data from widely spread data sources to a centralized server for clustering in P2P systems. This is due to the following three reasons: 1) there is no central control in P2P systems; 2) transferring all data objects to a central site would incur excessive communication overheads, and 3) participants of P2P systems reside in a collaborating yet competing environment, and thus they may like to expose as little information as possible to other peers for various reasons. In addition, these existing algorithms are designed to minimize disk access cost. In P2P system, the communication cost is a dominating factor. Therefore, we need to reexamine the problem of clustering in P2P systems. A general idea to perform clustering in P2P systems is to first cluster the local data objects at each peer and then combine the local clustering results to form a global clustering result. Based on this general idea, clustering in P2P systems essentially consists of two steps, i.e., local clustering and cluster assembly. While local clustering can be done by employing existing clustering techniques, cluster assembly is a nontrivial issue, which concerns representation model (what should be communicated among peers) and communication model (how peers communicate with each other). In this chapter, we review three representation models (including two approximate representation models and an exact representation model) and three communication models (including flooding-based communication model, centralized communication model, and hierarchical communication model). The rest of this chapter is organized as follows. In next section, we provide some background knowledge on P2P systems and clustering techniques. The details of representation models and communication models are presented in Section 3. We discuss future trend and draw the conclusion in Section 4 and Section 5, respectively.

Translate the following sentence to French:
Unless the federal government takes a serious look at its commitment to linguistic duality and support for minority official language communities, the existing bond of confidence between the government and the communities may be increasingly questioned. À moins que le gouvernement fédéral ne revoie sérieusement son engagement à l'endroit de la dualité linguistique et de l'appui aux communautés de langue officielle en situation minoritaire, son lien de confiance avec les communautés risque d'être de plus en plus mis en doute.
