Q: Send an error message from a c function by using WSTP library Consider that Func is a function written in c language by using WSTP library. In some situations, it can return an error to Mathematica.
void Func()
{
   ...
   WSPutSymbol(stdlink, "$Failed");
}

In addition to show a $Failed message, I want to show an error message (a red colored message). How can I do this?

A: The tutorial I suggested to you has a complete example. See section 1.6. Please read through the entire first chapter.

Here's a copy of the code from there:
In your template file, ensure that both argument passing and return are set to Manual, then add the following:
:Evaluate: AddTwo::ovflw = "The sum cannot fit into a C long type."

A modification of the addtwo example:
void addtwo(void) {
   long i, j, sum;
   MLGetLongInteger(stdlink, &i);
   MLGetLongInteger(stdlink, &j);
   sum = i + j;
   if(i>0 && j>0 && sum<0 || i<0 && j<0 && sum>0) {
     MLEvaluate(stdlink, "Message[AddTwo::ovflw]");
     MLNextPacket(stdlink);
     MLNewPacket(stdlink);
     MLPutSymbol(stdlink, "$Failed");
   } else {
     MLPutLongInteger(stdlink, sum);
   }
}


Following an ongoing problem with water ingress within the cellar of a large detached house in Olney, Kenwoods were called in to assess. Cellars such as this are constructed below ground and were not built to be dry spaces, hence are particularly susceptible to dampness and water ingress. The original walls had no form of waterproofing other than the mass of the walls themselves.
In order for our client to be able to use this space we have provide a waterproof tanking system throughout, including the walls, floors and ceilings. The original floor was constructed of brick which has now been replaced with a structural concrete floor that is capable of withstanding the hydrostatic pressure that is exerted on basement slabs.


Last week I had a conversation with one of my customers who asked me if I know some good, fast, modular way for provisioning around 20-25 VMs for a lab environment.
The first thing I asked was "what are you using today?" So he opened his vSphere Client and showed me how he is using NetApp Rapid Clone Utility (RCU) to deploy the VMs.
The problem with the RCU is that it isn't elastic and modular enough although using it is great for gaining fast provisioning. You can watch a few YouTube videos here.
I've decided to write a PowerCLI deployment script which uses VMware's own Linked Clone mechanism. Although it's extensively used in View deployments, there is no reason not to use it in an old fashion deployments.
On top of the Linked Clone capabilities, the VMs are deployed using CSV parameters. That way we don't just gain a fast deployment but also a modular scripting environment.
# Purpose: Automate Linked Clone deployment process.
$vCenter = Read-Host "Enter vCenter Server Hostname or IP"
$CSV_Path = "CSV File Location"
Write-Host "Enter Domain Admin Credentail"
working with link clones trough API has some limit like number of hosts that can be access same Datastore and also that link clone between several data stores (meaning base in on one datastore and links clone are on other datastore).
it is worth reviewing SDK.
Is there any way to update the snapshot (a.k.a recompose) the existing clones without having to destroy and re-create them?
I just started looking at the method this afternoon to deploy and was in the process of putting a script together just like this (Okay to be my wouldn't be near as good as yours) for training VMs that grew from a base image of 15 GB to over 120 GB. and I just don't have 2 TB for a bunch of training VMs. Great Job. Going to put the script in the LAB environment and give it a try.
Thank you for sharing your Link Cloning script, I am very envious of your ability to create such complex scripts from scratch.
I am curious if this script can be used to create linked clones from a snapshot or does it require a template VM?
As you probably know too well most of us have mickey mouse ESX hosts for our home labs and it can be very slow to deploy say 10 VMs everytime. So what would be nice is to do something similar to VMware View 3Rs (as per Jeff's question a.k.a Recompose, Refresh and Rebalance) but for ordinary VMs so as to at least keep the OS updates current without needing to individually keep updating individual VMs with MS updates etc.
I was wondering if it was possible to adapt this script to simply create full clones of a template? as to which lines might need to be modified.


Have you noticed how no one answers their phone any more? And how everyone hides behind voice mail. Everyone but me, that is. I always get the same reaction from people when I answer my phone: Shock. "Oh", they say. And then they stumble around for words. Because they assumed they'd be leaving a message, not talking to a human.
Same with email. Unless you're writing a friend or family member, a colleague or close business associate, you can consider yourself lucky if you ever get a response. Ditto with snail mail. It drives me insane. And then, what I hate the most, are the lies and excuses that inevitably follow: "Oh, really, I didn't get an email from you. Oh, are you sure you called the right number? Oh, I am so sorry, I have just been crazy busy, I was planning to get back to you." And then you see them posting drivel on Facebook or tweeting.
It even happens with blogs. I follow a lot of blogs. I very often comment on posts I like, or that resonate with me. At most, I get a reply 10 – 15% of the time. It's interesting, though. Everything you read about blogs, and how to increase your readership, tells you to "like", "follow" and comment on other blogs. All the experts say this is the best way to get more exposure for your blog (and yourself) and grow your audience. But none of them add that you should also do it because it's common courtesy; that if someone has taken time out of their busy day to read your blog, and then takes the time to leave a comment, it is rude of you to ignore it. Why?
I think it's because we're smack in the middle of an epidemic of bad manners. And we're completely self-absorbed. It's all about 'us'. To hell with you.
Several years ago I had a new business idea. I had an individual in mind I wanted to target. After sending him two letters, his assistant contacted me, presumably at his request, to ask me to elaborate on a couple of points. Which I did. Never heard back. I'm in no way suggesting he was under any obligation to have the slightest interest in what I was pitching. But if he asked me for additional information I believe I was entitled to a response. Even if it was a form letter, or a two-sentence reply written, and signed, by his assistant. Whereas I once thought of him as confident, inspiring, responsible, respectful and open I now think of him as arrogant, rude and dismissive.
In my eyes his brand is tarnished. And while he may not think of it this way, his personal brand and his corporate brand are entwined. So he should care what I think about him. Because it will influence my decision about ever becoming a client. And while I may not be in a position to become his client today, we never know what tomorrow will bring.
A long time ago, when I was in my second to last year of art college, I decided to look for a summer job. I would even have taken an internship position. I just wanted some real life experience. The man I interviewed with at the first art studio I visited was very pleasant. He took time to go through my portfolio; and also talked to me about what my longer term goals were. Although they didn't hire summer students he did suggest that, once I'd graduated, I should try again.
Which I did. He was one of the first prospects I called and we arranged a date and time to meet. When I arrived for my appointment, the receptionist asked me to wait, as he was in a meeting. I waited 15 minutes. 30 minutes. 40 minutes. At which point I asked the receptionist to see how much longer he'd be. She made a couple of calls and then told me that he'd be unable to see me, after all. He'd been called away.
Funny, I was right there in reception. Unless he'd climbed out of the window in his office, I would have to have seen him leave. That is, if he'd ever even been in the office, in the first place.
I was disappointed, but what could I do. I had another appointment, not all that far away, so off I went. I had about a half hour to spare, so I decided to have a cup of coffee in a coffee shop that was located at the back of a pharmacy, in the building where I had my meeting. Lo and behold, the a-hole who had just kept me waiting for almost an hour was sitting at the table, right next to mine, laughing it up with a friend. Where he'd no doubt been all along. He didn't recognize me. But I recognized him.
Once upon a time I hadn't been important enough for him. I was small potatoes, easily dismissed and forgotten. Would a small or medium-sized project of mine get the same treatment? Would he only put his best team on the job if it came with a big budget? Would only large, high-profile jobs get his full attention? "Probably", was my guess. And just before I let him go I told him exactly why I was taking a pass. He had himself to thank. All he'd had to do was man up and cancel the appointment ahead of time. How difficult is that?
So what's the moral of the story? Be respectful. Be polite. Answer your damn phone when you're sitting right beside it, and it rings. Put time aside, every day, to respond to your emails and voice mails; and make this behaviour part of your corporate culture, so your employees follow your good example, instead of your bad one. Delegate the writing of your 'thanks-but-no-thanks' letters to your assistant or a more junior colleague; and make it a personal priority to at least let people know that their letters have gotten to you; and you appreciate the fact that they've written you.
People can think the best of you. Or the worst. It's up to you. Just remember that 'you' are a brand. And your brand is also a reflection of your company's brand.


Newark, DE, August 11, 2017 –(PR.com)– ItalyGourmet.co is the first eCommerce-as-a-Service platform that connects customers anywhere in the world with Italian farmers.
It allows certified Italian producers to access an international market in just one-click and make their delicatessen available to the world. Hungry and in dire need to grate some seasoned Parmigiano on their fettuccine, users can now get all this.
By purchasing local food, they also help promote a culture of certified excellence and protect local farmers from international competition and counterfeit goods. In addition, ItalyGourmet.co will provide customers with recipes and an online cooking guide based on Artificial Intelligence chatbot.
"How many times have you looked for top-quality ingredients and ended up buying from the bottom shelf? Now with ItalyGourmet.co, you just place your order and wait for it to be delivered right at your door," explains Alberto Varignana, ItalyGourmet.co Founder & CEO.
Alberto created ItalyGourmet.co on the belief that online grocery shopping should be fast, convenient and allow everyone to sell and purchase signature-like products without technology skills.
To raise funds for turning ItalyGourmet.co into a digital international platform, Alberto has launched an equity crowdfunding campaign on Crowdfunder.com that will last until October 31, 2017 for accredited investors.
The platform is already online with more than 2'000 users and allows customers to choose from a wide variety of excellences and certified PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) and PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) specialties such as Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Ham Of Parma, Extra-virgin olive oil of Romagna and Mortadella of Bologna.
Backers of the campaign will become shareholders of ItalyGourmet, Inc. and will participate in the expansion of the platform from Italy to Europe.

Q: XSD restrict element occurrence with an specific attribute I try to define a complex type for a selection that can consist of different type of entries
but only one entry is allowed to have an attribute "multiselect".
Here is what I tried:
<element name="selection" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
  <complexType>
    <sequence>
      <element name="name" type="string" />
      <element name="source">
        <complexType>
          <choice>
            <element name="item" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" type="string" />
            <element name="path" type="string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" />
          </choice>
        </complexType>
      </element>
    </sequence>
    <attribute name="multiselection" type="boolean" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" />
  </complexType>
</element>

The result should be that there can be more elements of "selection" where it doesn't matter if the source is of type "item" or of type "path". But only one of the "selection" elements is allowed to to have the attribute multiselection = true.
But as it seems there is no min-/maxOccures for attributes.
How can I workaround this ?
Thx

A: First of all, min/maxOccurs is reserved for particles (local elements, element references, group references, sequence, choice). An attribute occurrence is controlled by
use = (optional | prohibited | required) - the default value is optional
To further constrain that among a set of elements, only one may have the attribute specified with a logical value of true (either a 1 or the literal true) - this is something you cannot do with XSD 1.0 alone. You may use Schematron on top of XSD.
Alternatively, you can easily achieve this in XSD 1.1.

Together with the Sparkwind Movement, the Expanded Learning Coalition, and our policy and advocacy partners statewide, SOWA advocates for increased funding for and access to expanded learning opportunities for all of Washington's youth. By engaging with decision makers through site visits, advocacy, and in Olympia, SOWA moves the needle for expanded learning in Washington.
The 2017 legislative session included several bright spots for expanded learning opportunities afterschool and in the summer. This will help in our collective efforts to build momentum for the Sparkwind Movement and increasing equitable access for more children and youth to high-quality programs!
Take a moment to read SOWA's blog providing an overview of 2017 legislation and budget items supporting expanded learning opportunities.
Stay tuned as we begin planning for the 2018 legislative session and determine our priorities to continue momentum for increased access to quality expanded learning opportunities.
In 2015, Congress approved the new federal education law entitled the 'Every Student Succeeds Act'. This law governs federal education spending and policy. As a part of this new law, each state must submit a plan on how they will use utilize federal resources. ELOs can be an allowable use of funds in many parts of the law including assistance to low-income students, for professional development, a strategy for school turnaround, and more.
The OSPI Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELOs) Council is legislatively tasked with developing recommendations to the state that will help increase access for Washington students to expanded learning. To that end, the Council submitted comments and recommendations to each ESSA work group opportunities to include ELOs in the ESSA plan. (View a copy of these recommendations.) We hope K12 stakeholders, providers, families, and youth will help promote ELOs as an effective use of federal funds and a great strategy in the state ESSA plan.

PGCBL Players of the Night: June 20
Throughout the season, the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League will be recognizing a Player and Pitcher of the Night on each game day.
Player of the Night: John Polichetti, Adirondack (UMass Lowell)
The Adirondack Trail Blazers roared to life with 16 runs on Wednesday night, dealing the Watertown Rapids their fourth loss of the season. Polichetti was a big part of the effort for the Trail Blazers, going 3-for-3 with four runs scored and four runs batted in. The third baseman belted two home runs in the win, hitting a solo shot in the third inning and a two-run homer in the fourth. He also added a sacrifice fly in the first inning to account for a quarter of Adirondack's runs on the day. Polichetti entered the night with just one hit on the season, and had driven in one run, as well as earning one win on the mound.
Pitcher of the Night: Gregory Allard, Saugerties (Stony Brook)
Allard, an Averill Park, New York native, shut down the red hot bats of the Amsterdam Mohawks on Wednesday night, leading the Stallions to a 1-0 home victory. The Stony Brook product tossed six shutout innings, and allowed only three hits and three walks. Allard did not allow an extra base hit to the Mohawks, who managed just four hits on the night. The victory was Allard's first of the season, and lowered his season ERA to 1.89. Allard has allowed just 12 hits in his 19 innings on the mound, and the Stallions have won in each of his past two starts.
Stay tuned to PGCBL.com throughout the season for further presentations of the Player and Pitcher of the Night awards.

Samsung Galaxy S23 prices for Europe leak, hints at an increase for all models
Ben Schoon
@NexusBen
While Samsung doesn't appear to be changing prices in the United States, the company's upcoming Galaxy S23 series seems like it will cost a bit more across Europe.
Last week a leaked carrier image seemingly confirmed that the Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra would cost the same as their respective predecessors in the United States – $799, $999, and $1,199.
However, according to Roland Quandt of WinFuture, that won't be the case in parts of Europe. Apparently, Galaxy S23 will start at €959 in Spain for the 8GB/128GB model. The Galaxy S23+ would then start at €1,209, with Galaxy S23 Ultra starting at €1,409. That's up dramatically from the Galaxy S22 series, where the base model started at €719, with S22 Ultra at €1,079.
In Germany and Benelux, the Galaxy S23 is said to start at €949, with the Galaxy S23 Ultra starting at €1,399.
We previously reported that Samsung was also set to raise Galaxy S23 prices in Australia by around $100 AUD. That seems to fall in line with this raised pricing in Europe, but it's still unclear why the United States isn't affected by the jump.
Samsung is set to officially unveil the Galaxy S23 series on February 1, with reservations open now for customers to score up to $100 in extra credit with their pre-order.

Existing home sales fall in August, and prices soften significantly
In: Real Estate
Tagged: August, Existing, fall, home, prices, Sales, Significantly, soften
Sales of previously owned homes fell 0.4% in August from July to a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 4.80 million units, according to the National Association of Realtors. That is the slowest sales pace since May 2020, when activity stalled very briefly due to the start of the Covid pandemic.
Outside of that, it is the slowest pace since November 2015. Sales were 19.9% lower than in August 2021.

With inflation still high, the Fed may be a long way from where it can stop hiking
The sales figures represent closings, so contracts that were likely signed in June and July, when mortgage rates spiked higher and then pulled back. The average rate on the popular 30-year fixed mortgage began June at around 5.5% and then shot up over 6% by the middle of the month, according to Mortgage News Daily. It then pulled back a bit, hanging in the 5.7% range for most of July before dropping further to the low 5% range at the end of the month.
The 30-year fixed started this year at 3%. It is now close to 6.5%.
Even with interest rates making housing less affordable, prices were still higher than a year ago. The median price of an existing home sold in August was $389,500, up 7.7% from a year ago. Home prices historically decline from July to August, due to seasonality, but the drop this year was wider than usual, suggesting a significant softening.
From June through August, prices usually decline about 2%, but this year they have fallen about 6%.
"The housing market is showing an immediate impact from the changes in monetary policy," said Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the Realtors, noting that he will revise his annual sales forecast down further due to higher mortgage rates. "Some markets may be seeing price declines."
Sales fell in all price categories, but more sharply on the lower end. Sales of homes priced between $250,000 and $500,000 were down 14% year over year, while sales of those priced between $750,000 and $1 million were down just 3%. Much of that has to do with supply, which is leanest on the lower end of the market.
Prices are still being bolstered by tight supply. There were 1.28 million homes for sale at the end of August, unchanged from a year ago. At the current sales pace, that represents a 3.2-month supply.
"In July, we saw the first sign that the housing market's refresh may affect homeowners' eagerness to sell, and that hesitation continued in August, as the number of newly-listed homes sank by 13%," said Danielle Hale, chief economist for Realtor.com.
Homebuilders have been pulling back in the face of falling demand, but there was a small bump in single-family housing starts in August, according to the U.S. Census. That may have been due to a brief drop in mortgage rates during, which sparked more interest from buyers. But building permits, which are an indicator of future construction, fell as mortgage rates were expected to rise again.

Some most common occupations for these enters of deductions are undoubtedly commission salespeople, users working at that you simply home office, tradespersons, long-haul transport employees, clergy, artists and / or musicians. Almost a lot of occupation can the actual depending on a work arrangement you have with their employer.
In most cases, in order for you to deduct any business related expenses usually are some stipulations. You would doing fact have and have paid suitable for the expenses. If or when your company comes with paid for them, then they cannot be claimed. If perhaps your company has paid for percentage of the outlays then you may want to claim the alternate part. If families got reimbursed to have paying expenses, correct are two options. If you made reimbursed and this was included on your T4, so that you have salaried taxes on the text you received, your business can claim the type of expenses you will have paid to balanced out the taxes you are paying. Assuming you received money tax free, it follows that you would not be allowed at make a enjoy for that common amount because you have already triumphed in your money back again again again from the hiring manager. If you have actually paid for generally expenses, you is required to have receipts up to prove what someone are claiming. In case that these expenses can be found shared between personal and employment, all of the personal use serving size must be decided and taken competeing of the propose.
The recruiter has to allow them to agree that most you have have if you want to incur most expenses at order on the way to do your job.
Just exactly because your incurred expenses, it so does not indicate you can sometimes claim every one of them for whom reason alone. How start with you demonstrate what could be allowed by just your boss and know what is fail to? There is probably a form called that T2200 come to be – Remark of Cases of A career. This make lays offered what expenditure you will definitely be allowed to claim in addition what repayments you seem to be given around the incredibly same time. The employer feel the need to sign and then date this form and so you would have to positively show it to how the CRA if they ask for facts of claim. And also are extra forms in special instances, a TL2 for snack and lodging for prolonged haul travel with employees and / or a T1223 for local clergy residence write-offs. Artists and simply musicians might also write off work very similar expenses found in certain situations. The T2200 must try to be filled along with completely while accurately, if they are not it definitely will not be valid.
You cannot claim usually the same expenses in not one but two places forward the return. This is notorious as "double dipping" as being you is likely to make twofold as of the good impact from the duplicate expense. Yet if some expense is GST Rates in India fact legitimate in both places, it is going to only be claimed because soon as. It often is up to you the taxpayer and the option most likely give the greatest tax give you back.


In-home care is rapidly growing in popularity among the senior population, and it is easy to see why that is happening. It offers a number of advantages over moving into a nursing home, which is usually the only alternative for people who are starting to have serious medical problems due to their age. That having been said, in-home care is not the right choice for absolutely every senior who needs a little bit of help. That means that it is vital to understand the benefits that it offers in order to make an informed choice on the matter.
It can be stressful for people to change their lifestyle, especially when they are already suffering from health problems. It can also cause misery or resentment if they feel as though they have no choice but to make adjustments that they would rather avoid. That means that it is usually best to make as few lifestyle changes as possible when adopting a personal care plan. In-home care allows people to stay in their homes and maintain their previous lifestyles, so it is usually the option that allows them to retain the most freedom to determine their lifestyle.
It is relatively common for senior citizens who are just starting to develop medical problems to have trouble with specific chores, but to be perfectly capable of managing their own lives in every other area. Since accidents while performing chores can lead to injuries that make medical problems even worse, that is a serious problem that most senior citizens need to deal with as carefully as possible.
In-home care is a strong choice in those situations because the helpers can offer assistance with most common chores while leaving the recipient to handle the rest of their business on their own. If that individual starts to develop other problems, the helper can easily adjust the care plan to take those problems into account. That makes for an easy transition when the time comes, which cuts down on stress and inconvenience for everybody who is involved.
A healthy and nutritious diet is one of the keys to maintaining health at any age, but sticking to that kind of diet can be a challenge for senior citizens. People who struggle to go grocery shopping on their own, or who lack the coordination to cook safely are unable to prepare their own food. That often forces them to rely on deliveries, which are rarely as nutritious as meals that they cook on their own.
In-home care helps with this in two ways. The helpers can make sure that shopping and cooking get done, but they can also provide nutritional advice. That is useful for people who do not know how to adapt their diet to their changing medical needs and ensures that they can stay healthy.
Every person is unique, and that uniqueness extends to their medical needs. Those needs will also change over time as a natural part of the aging process. That means that one size can never fit all when it comes to medical treatments. In-home care is customizable by nature, since the helpers can easily adapt to suit a person's lifestyle and make sure that they get the right type of support. Other support systems tend to be less flexible because they need to help more than one person at once, so in-home care tends to be the best choice for precisely addressing specific problems.
While in-home care is primarily useful to the recipient, it also offers some support to family members. Many people who have busy lives and time-consuming jobs are unable to offer support to their aging relatives, and that fact often causes them to feel guilty and worry that their loved one is suffering. People sometimes feel a similar degree of guilt by helping their relative get into a nursing home, since it can feel like abandonment. In-home care strikes a balance between the two options, by giving people the support that they need without forcing them to make major changes to their lives. That can be a great comfort to their families, and it still gives those loved ones a chance to help their relatives when possible.

Q: Are there any differences between bullseye and stable? I was looking at directories in https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/. By comparing timestamps I could easily tell that bullseye and stable are the same thing. So is there no difference in behavior even if I change my /etc/apt/sources.list entry from deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/ bullseye main contrib non-free to deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/ stable main contrib non-free?

A: Stable and bullseye currently (at time of writing) refer to the same version. Debian uses Toy Story character names as permanent release names (with the exclusion of sid which is always the unstable release), whereas releases are also given relative release names e.g. stable, testing and unstable.
See https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ftparchives for more information on these release names.
At time of writing, stable refers to Debian 11, which is also codenamed bullseye, but this will change sometime in the future.

So is there no difference in behavior even if I change my /etc/apt/sources.list entry from deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/ bullseye main contrib non-free to deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/ stable main contrib non-free?

While the two codenames refer to the same release, there's no difference, however in the future when releases roll-over and bookworm (currently testing) becomes the new stable, then the former line will stay with bullseye (becoming the new oldstable) and the latter line will upgrade to bookworm (becoming the new stable).

Bone biomechanical properties in EP4 knockout mice
Mohammed P. Akhter, D. M. Cullen, L. C. Pan
Among the four prostaglandin E receptor subtypes, EP4 has been implicated as an important regulator of both bone formation and bone resorption; however, the integrated activities of this receptor on bone biomechanical properties have not been examined previously. This study compared the bone biomechanical properties of EP4 knockout (KO) transgenic mice to strain-matched wild-type (WT) controls. We examined two groups of adult female mice: WT (n = 12) and EP4 KO (n = 12). Femurs were tested in three-point bending and the lumbar-4 (L4) vertebral body by compression. Distal femur and vertebral body trabecular bone architecture were quantified using micro-computed tomography. Biomechanical structural parameters (ultimate/yield load, stiffness) were measured and apparent material parameters (ultimate/yield stress, modulus) calculated. Body weights and bone sizes were not different between EP4 KO and WT mice (P > 0.05, Student's t-test). EP 4 KO mice exhibited reduced structural (ultimate/yield load) and apparent material (ultimate/yield stress) strength in the femoral shaft and vertebral body compared to WT (P <0.05). Vertebral body stiffness and femoral neck ultimate load (structural strength) were marginally lower in EP4 KO than that in WT mice (P <0.1). In addition, EP4 KO mice have smaller distal femur and vertebral bone volume to total volume (BV/TV) trabecular thickness than WT mice (P <0.05). These results suggest that the prostaglandin receptor EP4 has an important role in determining biomechanical competence in the mouse skeleton. Despite similar bone size, the absence of an EP4 receptor may have removed a necessary link for bone adaptation pathways, which resulted in relatively weaker bone properties.

The renowned Lutheran theologian and World War II martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer is famous for presenting a number of helpful ways to look at Christian discipleship.I believe that among the most significant for those of us in religious life today, or living out our vows in any walk of life today, is that of the distinction between "cheap grace" and "costly grace," discussed in Bonhoeffer's book The Cost of Discipleship.
Following Jesus Through Life's Traffic Jams
By Erika Glover
I was driving home from Myrtle Beach with my sisters and we came across a heavy load of traffic just as we were passing through the Smokey Mountains. Without traffic, we probably still had four hours left, but with the newfound obstacle in our way, Apple Maps was saying that we had 6 1/2 hours. Oh, the joy! I'm pretty sure that everyone's patience is sucked out of them whilst in traffic jams, and this case was no different.
The Search for Real J.O.Y.
By Teresa Tomeo
Our pope has a huge amount of Twitter followers. We've seen him pose for plenty of selfies with Catholics of all ages during his papal audiences and during his travels. Taking selfies can be a good and a wholesome thing and can even promote the joy of the Lord. It's all in the intent and the approach. Looking at selfies through the lenses of faith and the eyes of Christ will keep us grounded morally, spiritually, and legally as well.
In Search of Perfect Joy
Image: Forrest Cavale. Twenty-five centuries ago, Aristotle wrote a book called Nicomachean Ethics, in which he concluded that the ultimate goal of human beings is and ought to be happiness. Aristotle's book became a classic long ago. But when you think about it, its thesis is rather commonplace. When we honestly examine our lives, we quickly realize that what we want is to be happy. What sane person wouldn't? So we scarcely need an ancient Greek philosopher to tell us what we already know. What isn't so obvious is how to be happy. There are any number of answers out there competing for our attention. The advertising industry, for example, spends billions of dollars annually to tell us that true happiness lies in buying this or that product. Pop psychologists assure us that happiness consists in getting in touch with our primordial self, looking out for number one, or learning how to be intimate. (It all depends on which psychologist you read.)
Following Jesus in Perfect Joy
Image: Tyler Mullins. The human heart desires joy. We all desire joy, every family, every people aspires to happiness. But what is the joy that the Christian is called to live out and bear witness to? It is the joy that comes from the closeness of God, from his presence in our life. From the moment Jesus entered into history, with his birth in Bethlehem, humanity received the seed of the Kingdom of God, like the soil receives the seed, the promise of a future harvest.

This year's game required a robot that can shoot plastic balls into high and low goals, place gears to activate rotors and climb a rope to an airship control center. Starting in January, the Rockwall-Heath students had six weeks to design and build a machine that effectively addressed the game challenge. Initially, the students designed the robot to quickly retrieve and score gears and to score some plastic balls. Over the course the season, the students refined their robot design, tested prototypes and manufactured new parts to improve the robot ball scoring sub system. By the completion of the St. Louis Championship, the Black Hawks had one of the top ball scoring robots in the world.

Bangladesh on 21 in vaccination race
14 March, 2021, 01:05 pm
Last modified: 15 March, 2021, 01:07 am
India reports 3,37,704 new Covid cases, 488 deaths in 24 hours
Bangladesh-India connectivity to help Tripura in trade, development
India no longer signs FTAs just to be part of a group: Piyush Goyal
In the list, neighbouring India is in 18th position while Italy is in 9th
Bangladesh currently stands at 21st position in administering doses of the Covid-19 vaccine.
This information came out in a recent report published by ourworldindata.org, which is made on the rolling 7-day average per 100 people of the total population in a country.
Bangladesh has administered more than 4.22 million vaccines till 11 March since the drive started on 7 February.
In the list, neighbouring India is at 18th position while Italy 9th. The United Kingdom is currently in 5th position in vaccinating people.
Chile is at the top of this list, Israel second and the United States is currently in third place.
Chile's performance serves as a lesson for the United States. There are many states in the US that have high percentages of people sceptical of vaccines. On the other hand, Chileans are largely in favour of vaccination and have been less vocal in their opposition to mask mandates and other stringent policies.
According to a recent Cadem survey, 62 percent of Chileans support keeping a nightly national curfew. And, unlike many other South American countries, Chile's government addressed the crisis with less diplomatic wrangling.

By November 1941, Canada's Home War Establishment had established just 12 functional combat squadrons. The success of the December attack on Pearl Harbour by Japan brought renewed attention to home defence. With war in the Pacific, Canada now faced defence needs on both coasts, and confidence that Japan would not attempt an invasion of North America was shaken. By March 1942, there were 17 squadrons, eight in Eastern Command, nine in the Western Command and plans to expand to 49 squadrons overall.
The last number proved impossible and unnecessary. The Battle of Midway in June 1942 stopped the Japanese advance in the Pacific, eliminating the danger of a significant attack on the west coast of North America. Britain and the United States continued to place a low priority on Canadian defence, severely limiting the allocation of aircraft to Canadian soil. The threat on both coasts continued to lessen after 1942, through to the end of the war. Canadian home defence plans diminished accordingly.

Manako Yabe is a PhD candidate in Disability Studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her biographical article, "The Journey of a Deaf Translingual Writer" was published by the Writing on the Edge in the Spring 2018 issue.
My participation in the 2018 Canadian Writing Centres Association Conference (CWCA) was like a putting the pieces of a puzzle together. I am an international Deaf student who has been to writing centers for more than a decade. As a Deaf writer, I was honored to share my story at the CWCA conference. I was also excited to meet writing center professionals and learn about the writing centers in Canada.
When I participated in the conference, the Keynote speaker was Dr. Sheelah McLean—a co-founder of the Idle No More movement. As I listened to Dr. McLean speak, I realized that there were commonalities between Indigenous students and Deaf students.
Historically, many Ingenious students grew up by attending White-centered schools, trying to assimilate into the White-centered culture, speaking standard English, and behaving like White people. The use of Indigenous language was banned by residential schools. In the same way, many Deaf students grew up attending mainstream schools without accommodation, trying to assimilate into hearing culture, speaking orally, and trying to behave like hearing people. The use of sign language was banned at mainstream schools.
When I wrote an essay about Deaf people, I was often asked to affix a lower case 'd' to the term "deaf people," which signified a person's inability to hear. However, I was asked not to affix a capital letter 'D' to the term "Deaf people" although it signified persons who identified with Deaf culture. This was an example of cultural repression because my editors were not familiar with Deaf culture, and the differences between people who are culturally Deaf people and those people who are non-culturally deaf people. This experience is similar to that experienced by Ingenious students who were often asked to fix their Indigenous language to conform to standard English, because of lack of cultural linguistic awareness and hundreds of year of cultural repression and genocide.

2009 October notes: 2009 TM8, 2009 UD, 2009 UV18, LCROSS and 9U01FF6
Apollo 2009 TM8 made a very close approach to the Earth early on Oct. 17th about 48 hours after discovery by the Catalina Sky Survey. It was followed from Great Shefford from soon after sunset on Oct. 16th when it was moving at an apparent speed of 180"/min, through to 04:20 UT the next morning by which time it had accelerated to 285"/min. It reached its closest to Earth at 03:37 UT at a distance of 0.9 LD. The brightness stayed fairly constant, around mag. +17.5 all night, the decreasing distance from Earth being offset by increasing phase angle but the large increase in apparent speed made it a more difficult target as the night wore on.
Another newly discovered Apollo, 2009 UD passed Earth at 2 LD on Oct. 20 and was observed on the morning of Oct. 17th for 2 hours and again for 3 hours the next morning when it was at about 3 LD and mag +17.0. Over 1,000 images were obtained in those 5 hours and allowed the determination that this ~15 metre diameter object rotates very fast with a period of 83.7 seconds with an amplitude of about 0.7 magnitudes.
2009 UV18 was an interesting LINEAR discovery from Oct. 22, relatively bright at mag. +18 and unusually large for a new discovery, estimated at over 2 km diameter. With a low inclination and the Earth approaching the ascending node of the orbit the size of the orbit was initially rather indeterminate and attempts at trying to identify it with a known minor planet failed, even though it ought to have been relatively bright in earlier apparitions. Then, on Oct. 29, Rob Matson, well known for precovery work with online image databases managed to find it on old NEAT images from Jan 2004, fortunately only 2.5° from the predicted place, even though the uncertainty was estimated at up to 90°.
The orbit of 2009 UV18 is similar to a Jupiter family comet and although it appeared stellar in images taken on Oct.23 and Oct. 26th it is probably worth keeping an eye on as it approaches perihelion this January in the morning sky. The last favourable return appears to have been in May 1993 when it should have reached mag. +16 and before that spring 1976 at mag +17.
The LCROSS mission was followed one final time on the night of Oct 8/9th. The spacecraft was only 6.4° from the gibbous Moon and internal reflections in the telescope made it a difficult target. Unfortunately the sky clouded over before the LCROSS shepherding spacecraft separated from the Centaur at 02:50 UT, the last images obtained that show LCROSS were taken at 01:56 UT but were so light polluted they could not be measured. The image of LCROSS was taken about an hour earlier, before the glare from the Moon became too strong, less than 11 hours before impact with the Moon.
What initially appeared to be a Near Earth Asteroid discovery was reported by the Catalina Sky Survey on Oct 26 and received their temporary designation 9U01FF6. It was 19th magnitude and moving at 10"/min but was already closer to Earth than the Moon. After follow-up from other observatories that same day it was found to be in a very unusual 31.5 day period, highly eccentric geocentric orbit, taking it to within 82,000 km of Earth (0.2 Lunar Distances) at perigee and out to 761,000 km (2.0 LD) at apogee. With an absolute magnitude of +30.9 it would only be 1-2 metres in diameter if it were a natural object, but smaller if artificial (with a higher albedo assumed). Further observations were made from Great Shefford on the evening of Oct. 27th and the last positions reported this perigee came from the OAM Observatory at La Sagra in Spain early on Oct. 28th.
9U01FF6 is fainter than mag. +21 for most of its orbit but will next be at perigee around Nov. 28th and should reach +16th magnitude but moving as fast as 250"-500"/min on the evening of Nov. 27th. Hopefully it will be recovered in the days leading up to that but observability is probably limited at most to only 2-4 nights each perigee. It is likely to be an unusual artificial satellite but further observations at the end of November are encouraged.

2009 September notes: 2009 SH2, 2009 SN103, 2009 SU104, LCROSS and Herschel
September was a busy time for NEOs, with the Minor Planet Center's NEO Confirmation Page (NEOCP) listing many newly discovered objects during the month. On Sept. 17th and again on 26th more than 30 new and potentially interesting objects were on the NEOCP page and by the end of the month an extra 106 NEOs had been added to the MPC's database.
Apollo 2009 SH2 was discovered by Gordon Garradd at Siding Spring on Sept. 18th as an 18th mag. object and was due to make a fly-by of Earth within 3 Lunar Distances (LD) by the end of the month. It reached mag +16 when last seen from Great Shefford on Sept. 29th.
Another Apollo 2009 SN103, this one discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey on Sept. 25th was 19th mag., already within 4 LD of Earth and moving at 11"/min. It would reach its closest to Earth (1.2 LD) at about 05h UT on Sept. 28 as it overtook the Earth on its way to perihelion on Oct. 30th. It was observed from Great Shefford 6 hours before closest approach when it had brightened to 16th mag. and had accelerated to a speed of 138"/min. It was also caught the next night in central Gemini, moving slower at 86"/min but with the phase angle increasing very rapidly, it was 18th mag., fading quickly and was a much more difficult target to record.
It is estimated that 2009 SN103 is only about 8 meters in diameter. Another close approach NEO discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey on Sept. 27th and estimated at about 20 meters diameter was 2009 SU104. This Apollo has a very eccentric orbit taking it very close to the orbit of Venus at perihelion, out to 4.2 AU at aphelion. At this apparition it was on its way to perihelion in Nov., crossing the Earth's orbit just after the Earth had passed by. It was observed at its closest at 2.5 LD on Oct 1st when it was mag. 16 and moving east to west at 223"/min in Equuleus.
Several distant artifical satellites were also followed during the month, including LCROSS on Sept. 12th & 16th before it disappeared into southerly declinations until a few days before its impact with the Moon on Oct 9th. The Herschel telescope was also recorded on Sept. 17th at 19th mag. Ephemerides generated from previous astrometry obtained for this object were useless to try and pick it up again as the spacecraft undergoes frequent orbital manoeuvres to keep it near the second Lagrange point (L2). The JPL Horizons ephemeris allowed Herschel to be picked up without problem, moving at 3"/min.
