I am trying to invoke the global and form level procedures available in VS tools. However, I cannot find the parameter names of the procedures. I have checked the VS tools SDK; these are documented as parm1, parm2 and so forth. Some functions take up to 12 parameters.
There is no information about what these parameters do. Is there any way to find parameter name and description of procedures and functions?
I've come across an issue where VS.net seems to keep changing the size of my buttons. It only seems to happen on the buttons and only when VS.net seems to want to relead the graphical view. Anyone had this issue and come up with a solution? It's really frustrating to have to fix the design every time I edit the form.
I have some code (see below) where I am trying to see if a vendor exists. However, in the case where the vendor does not exist I get an exception thrown from the webservice. If the vendor is there then all is good. So besides traping the error and assuming (this would be bad) that the issue was the vendor did not exist, is there some other way to check to see if they exist? I really don't want to pull back *all* vendors just to loop through them as this could get memory intensive.
Here's a quick walkthrough on creating your first VSTools project.
You should see something like the below. If not, you haven't installed VS Tools correctly. Go back to the install documentation.
How to determine userid and company in GP10?
I need to determine the user id and company name when a particular user log in msgp. Thanks in advance.
I make some customization on SOP screen, using e-Connect in GP10.
Now I am facing a new problem which is want some PC's to connect to GP through Workgroup environment.
"Logging failed for user''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection"
We are practically brand new to eConnect so this very well may be a simple answer (to someone who knows what they're doing).
We have an internal vb.net Windows Forms app that we use for all our in-house activity. We are importing NACHA formatted reject bank files into our database and intend to pass the info through eConnect to Great Plains to create reject invoices in the RM module. The only code example we have been able to find uses the Sales Order Processing module of GP, which is not where we do it. We have taken the code and attempted to convert it to the RM class, but it is mainly guesswork. We were successful in shooting a batch header and a single line item to GP, but cannot get it to work with multiple line items. The class has less options than the SOP module, but I find it hard to believe that something this simple can't be done. Can someone take a look at our code and give us some idea what we're doing wrong? This is the section of code that creates the XML file that is passed to eConnect. The lines in yellow are the ones that are causing it not to compile. It's basically the Microsoft sample SOP code, where we have commented out and replaced with RM specific info. Thanks for any help you can provide!
.BCHCOMNT = "ACH Rejects settling on 05/26/09"
We are developing a PO integration with Non-Inventory items into GP10 using eConnect 10.
Vendor "VEN1" has Purchase address, which has TaxScheduleID="PURCH"
eConnect 10 creates PO with PO lines no problem.
eConnect 10, because POP10100.TXENGCLD=0 for the integrated PO header.
integration? Is there a way to invoke or force tax re-calculation via eConnect 10?
"Subtotal does not match the line item totals".
I have asked them to include the Subtotal node in their XML because the transactions are coming from an eCommerce web site, and I want to ensure that the data and subtotals being imported from the XML files matches what GP calculates. In theory, this shouldn't be a problem, as there should be no issue including the Subtotal node (and I've done other eConnect imports that have the Subtotal node that work fine).
To try and rule out any issues with tax and freight and do a basic test, I have even tried modifying the file so that it only has one line line item with no tax or freight, but the same error occurs. Entering the transaction directly into GP doesn't give any errors or other clues.
Is there a way to insert line items via taPopRcptLineInsert onto an existing receipt? When I try to feed it the desired existing POPRCTNM, I get the error 'Input variable contains a duplicate document (POPRCTNM)". It works of course if I leave the POPRCTNM field empty, but it places each separate transaction on its own receipt and I would like to manage the receipts better than that. Any ideas?
eConnect with Manufacturing and/or Horizons?
I'm new to eConnect & trying to use eConnect for project accounting. the first thing I need to know is the hierarchy of creating a full project, i.e, contract, project, cost category, timesheet, etc.
I used eConect and created a contract successfully, but got stuck on project. Soem guidance and sampel codes aer appreciated.
I'm using the <taSopTrackingNum> element to record information against a sales order.
I am working with GP 10 SP3.
I want to know the sequence that GP uses when I Post a transaction in any of the above screens, what are the tables affected and what fields affected inside these tables and Lots too.
I know that tables names in SQLSERVER2005 but I don't know the sequence and I don't know what the effected fields inside these tables are.
So please I need you advise if you please.


Salahar Bibi is 26 years old and lives in a village in West Bengal, India. Her first child is seven, and her second child was born 14 days before sharing her experiences.
My first baby was born in a public district hospital 30km from my home. She was seriously ill. She was silent, she had convulsions, and she was excreting meconium (first stool) from her mouth. She spent 18 days in the Intensive Care Unit, and her left side has been affected ever since. She can't use her left hand and she cannot walk or speak properly.
This time, we didn't want to take any chances. We went to a private health clinic hoping for better quality care and services, and to have a caesarean section to deliver a healthy child. My husband and I planned to go to the private facility from the beginning.
The private clinic is almost 10 km from my home. I went there by rickshaw. My pregnancy was not at full term but there was a complication and I felt the baby had stopped moving, so I went for a check-up. The baby was not unwell but the doctor decided to do a caesarean section to get a healthy baby. During the delivery, I received very good care.
I had very good quality care before my delivery, too. An ASHA worker lives nearby, and she often came to my home to look after me, performing all the check-ups and helping me with nutrition.

Green economy think tank gives thumbs up to federal government's tree planting promise
Mia Rabson
The federal government has promised to plant two billion trees over the next 10 years.Peter Power/The Globe and Mail
A green economy think tank at the University of Ottawa says the federal government's promise to plant two billion trees over the next 10 years is a cheap way to pull greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised during the election campaign to spend $3-billion on land and water conservation projects between now and 2030. Among those projects will be planting two billion additional trees.
The promise was met with some eye rolls as different parties kept upping the ante on tree planting, including the Green party's pledge to plant 10 billion trees by 2050.
But a government official in Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson's office said negotiations are under way with New Brunswick and other provinces to get new tree planting programs started as early as possible next year.
Ottawa doesn't intend to plant the trees itself, but will provide money to help others do it.
Dave Sawyer, an environmental economist with the Smart Prosperity Institute, said "two billion is a good start" when it comes to using nature to help Canada cut greenhouse gas emissions.
A study Mr. Sawyer helped write found that planting two billion trees is possible and helpful as trees are one of the best natural ways to absorb some of the greenhouse gases produced from burning fossil fuels.
The study suggests planting that many new trees could reduce emissions between two and four million tonnes a year in 2030. By 2050, as the trees mature and can absorb more carbon dioxide, that amount could more than double to between four and almost nine million tonnes a year.
The cost to plant those trees per tonne of emissions reduced would between $16 and $36, the study says, which is noticeably less than the $50 a tonne carbon tax that will be in place by 2022.
The investment would drive economic activity by paying people – usually young people – to plant the trees as well as work for local nurseries to grow the saplings, Mr. Sawyer said.
Even at four million tonnes a year by 2030, the effect on Canada's emissions would not be huge. Canada is currently aiming to cut emissions from 716 million tonnes in 2017 (the most recent year for which data is available) to no more than 511 million tonnes by 2030. It's a target that will get tougher next year when Mr. Wilkinson increases Canada's target.
"It's not the panacea to solve Canada's problem," Mr. Sawyer said. "But clearly there is something here and we can actually get a lot of carbon and a lot co-benefits, environmental benefits, local economic development benefits."
A few recent studies have shown benefits to starting a global effort to plant new trees, a plan backed by Swedish teenager and climate-change campaigner Greta Thunberg. American clean-tech leader Elon Musk is among those putting up some money to kick-start efforts.
Some critics have suggested there is not space on the planet to put all the new trees suggested, but Mr. Sawyer said Canada does have room for two billion new trees.
While the study took into account the expectation that not every new tree planted would survive, he said where they get planted and ensuring a variety of tree types are included will be key to making the most of the efforts.
Canada has had tremendous losses of trees from pest infestations partly because urban and rural forestation efforts have in the past focused on one tree types. That meant the pine beetle had a devastating impact in British Columbia, for example, as the emerald ash borer has had in some cities in central and eastern Canada.

Q: Difference between Git, Github and Github Desktop for Windows/Linux/Mac I am a very new bie to Git and coming from a TFS background and trying to get on speed with Github. while reading about it,
what I learnt is the following:-
Github is a web based service for Hosting Git repos.
Git is Local Version Control System,
Q1: How could Git track the changes on a local machine without server?

Git and GitHub are not tightly coupled, meaning Git need not be necessarily using Github
The Git I installed was downloaded from here
I also found Github for Windows client here
So my  Question boils to
Q2:How the two client installers above are different and when to use which one?

A: A1: Your git repo can set up one, or more "remote" repositories it can "push" changes to. GitHub is a source of such remote repositories. But you could set up free repositories at many services (like Visual Studio Team Services, or BitBucket)
When you "clone" a repo from somewhere, all you are doing is making a local repo and setting the remote repo of name "origin" to wherever you happen to be hosting it.
Think of it like this: Imagine the most popular Web hosting company was called "PhpHub" - all the sites on PhpHub use php, but you can host php anywhere. That's the relationship to git/github.
A2: There are many different git clients. At their root, they use the git protocols and the command line interactions. But there are many different competing tools.
GitHub makes their own, which is really kind of awful and not very good at helping you understand git or responding to errors. Most devs use command line, because it is the way git was meant to be used. Many of the commands simply don't translate well in a GUI format.
However, if you need a GUI to get started or help visualize, I'd recommend looking into "SourceTree". At least, it is my favorite.

Q: Naming lists dynamically in Python As the title says I'm trying to name lists dynamically in Python. The purpose of the code is to create lists around consecutive letters. Here is my code:
consecutive_duplicates=["a","a","a","a","b","c","c","a","a","d","e","e","e","e","X"]

count=0
name=0

for i in consecutive_duplicates:
    if consecutive_duplicates[count]==consecutive_duplicates[count+1] or
              consecutive_duplicates[count]==consecutive_duplicates[count-1]:
        consecutive_duplicates[name].append(i)
        count=count+1
    else:
        consecutive_duplicates[name+1].append(i)
        name=name+1

I'm at a loss of how to name the lists. Obviously this doesn't work as it is. What would make it work?
I'm also having trouble defining the dynamic lists. How should I do that?

A: You can use itertools.groupby:
>>> from itertools import groupby
>>> lis = ["a","a","a","a","b","c","c","a","a","d","e","e","e","e","X"]
>>> [list(g) for k,g in groupby(lis)]
[['a', 'a', 'a', 'a'], ['b'], ['c', 'c'], ['a', 'a'], ['d'], ['e', 'e', 'e', 'e'], ['X']]

And instead of creating dynamic variables it's better to use a dict:
>>> dic = { 'lis'+str(i): list(g) for  i,(k,g) in enumerate(groupby(lis), 1)}
>>> dic['lis1']
['a', 'a', 'a', 'a']
>>> dic['lis2']
['b']

Two days after Election Day and a Broward County cloud lingers over Florida.
…Sen. Marco Rubio is sounding the alarm on the past history of the Broward County elections office.
FL voters, esp Broward — races still haven't been called. If you voted by mail, make sure your ballot was counted: https://t.co/m2X9sF50oK.
Here's a sample ballot for Tuesday's election for Broward residents in the 22nd Congressional District.
People may not have seen the U.S. Senate race because of its position (bottom left) vis a vis the governor's race.


Introduction:- Conventional clean rooms operate on the principle that the air supplied to the room is of sufficient quantity to dilute or remove the contamination generated within the room. Measurement of the air supply volume and determination of the air change rate (ACR) is a measure of the frequency of air turnover in the clean room. The ACR can be determined by measuring the mean air velocity at the supply HEPAs or grilles and calculating the air change rate based on the mean air supply volume or by using a flow measuring hood (balometer), which collects all of the air from the supply and gives an air supply volume directly. Whichever method is used to determine the ACR it should be consistent, as the two techniques will give different readings. Always compare like with like. Using a flow measuring hood will give a more accurate air change rate reading, whilst an anemometer will allow a gross measurement that can be used for trend analysis.
Equipment:- The equipment required for measuring the air velocity is a thermal anemometer, vane anemometer or equivalent. A flow measuring hood with appropriate measuring device can be used.
Sample locations:- Where an anemometer is used to determine the mean air velocity sufficient measurements should be made across the HEPA filter or grille face. It is suggested that at least four positions are tested across the filter or grille face to obtain the mean supply air velocity. Where a flow measuring hood is used the flow hood opening should completely cover the filter or diffuser grille and three readings taken to obtain an average of the air supply volume from the filter or grille. It should be noted that when using a flow measuring hood, cross-reference to air velocity readings in the duct is required to calculate the correction factor for the equipment.
Frequency of sampling:- The test should be carried out at least three monthly using the same test method each time in order to allow comparison of test results.
Support the anemometer such that the airflow is unobstructed.
Position the sample head of the anemometer such that it is against the supply air grill and approximately 10cm from the HEPA filter, where installed. If the filter is set back behind a grille it is acceptable to take the readings on or at the surface provided the vanes or eyelashes of the grille are not moved. The effect of the non-uniform velocity across the supply area can be minimised by taking more readings per unit area.
Repeat for each supply filter or grill.
Calculate the mean air velocity (m/s) at each HEPA filter/grille and then calculate the air supply volume (m³/s) for each HEPA/grille by multiplying the mean air velocity by the HEPA filter/grille area (m²).
Place the flow measuring hood opening completely over the filter or grille, seating the face of the hood against a flat surface to prevent air bypass and inaccurate readings.
Measure and record the mean air supply volume (m³/s) by taking three readings at each supply HEPA or grill.
Where there is more than one supply HEPA in a room the air supply volume for each filter should be determined and the volumes summed (to give a total air supply volume) before multiplying by 3600 and dividing by the room volume. The ACR in some facilities may be determined using secondary spillover air from door grilles in addition to primary air supplied from HEPA filters. The air supply from grilles should be treated in the same manner as an additional HEPA filter and the air volume summed to give a total air supply before calculating the ACR.
To achieve the level of cleanliness in an aseptic room and a clean support room the ACR should be greater than 20 air changes per hour.
Action:- Where a facility has been designed to achieve a specific ACR this should be determined. The supply volume will drop as HEPA filters block and as a result the ACR will fall. Where the ACR does not meet design requirements an investigation into the problem should be carried out. Any corrective action taken as a result of the investigation should be recorded. The corrective action may require filters to be changed and the air supply system to be re-balanced to achieve the desired ACR. Major changes to the air supply system must only be undertaken by authorized personnel.

Q: How to convert result of dissolved buffer into individual polygons? I am wondering if there is a way to easily split results of a disolved buffer into individual polygons? E.g in the screenshot below all of these buffers are one item, can I split them into individual items? I have Arc, MapInfo and QGIS.

A: In most GIS look for the process "Multipart to singlepart".  This will break apart a multipart feature and make separate features of the constituent parts.  I your example, you will end up with 4 separate polygon features.  In QGIS go Vector->Geometry Tools->Multipart to singleparts.  ArcGIS and MapInfo have similar tools (as does GRASS and pretty much any decent GIS I've come across).

A: If you run the Dissolve tool in Arc there is an option in the toolbox that creates multipart features. If you untick this the output of the dissolve will be 4 individual features.

You should then be able to do the same thing with the roads to split your 4 features down even further.

A: In QGIS you can use the MultipartSplit plugin to split selected polygons during an edit session without the need to create yet another shapefile.
If you need to also split the features using the roads, you can use Vector > Geoprocessing > Union with the splited polygons as input layer and the roads as union layer.
Hope it helps!

A: And for MapInfo procedure is:

*

*Select multi-part object

*Objects/Disaggregate

As the old saying goes, "You can pick your friends, but not your relatives." In tranquil Northumberland County, Ontario, two families are well acquainted with the grim truth of that innocuous-sounding expression. They are the descendants of the first, and only, man executed in Northumberland's history. In a sordid true-crime tale of poison and philandering in 1850s Ontario, the respected Dr. William Henry King astonished the countryside with the sinister murder of his wife and with his subsequent attempts to evade justice. His capture and conviction were triumphs of vengeful relatives and early forensic science.
Dan Buchanan, a blood relative of Dr. King's, grew up dogged by rumours of his ancestor's bloody crime, but family shame and obfuscation left him with more questions as time wore on. Now, based on original documents, breathless reportage of the sensational King trial, and interviews held just after the notorious hanging, Buchanan reconstructs the full tale of crime and punishment, which shocked the province and has engendered speculation for over a century and a half.
This book is at once history, mystery, and family lore, and also reveals much about the middle-class morés prevailing in Victorian Ontario.

Kenneth Burns (born 23 September 1953) is a former Scotland international footballer. The peak of his playing career was Nottingham Forest, with whom he won the 1977–78 Football League title and the FWA Player of the Year award. He also won two European Cups and two Football League Cups.

Playing career
Burns was born in Glasgow and started his career with Rangers as an apprentice, but did not play a senior match for the club.

On being released in 1971, aged 17, he signed for Birmingham City. He arrived at the club as a defender, but was converted to striker after Bob Latchford left in 1974, and won the club's Player of the Year award that same year. He earned the first of his 20 international caps in that role soon afterwards.

After joining Nottingham Forest for £150,000 in 1977, he was converted back into a central defender by Brian Clough and Peter Taylor. He was one of three signings Forest made along with Archie Gemmill and Peter Shilton to add to the promotion-winning squad of the previous season. Burns was both FWA Footballer of the Year and Forest's player of the year in 1977–78 in his defensive role as Forest won the First Division title that season, in their first year after returning to the top flight. They also won that season's Football League Cup with a 1–0 replay victory over Liverpool; Burns collected the trophy as captain deputising for the injured John McGovern. Burns was injured for the final when Forest retained the League Cup the following season.

He was an influential figure in the side's European Cup campaigns over the next three seasons, his defensive partnership with Larry Lloyd instrumental to Forest's victory in the 1979 and 1980 tournaments. He also scored in the second leg of the 1979 UEFA Super Cup final victory against Barcelona. At one time he was renowned for his 'wild man' image and while maintaining an aggressive nature, he also possessed a shrewd football brain and was always likely to score vital goals.

He was Forest's player of the year a second time in 1980–81, his last season at the City Ground.

Leeds United paid Forest a £400,000 fee for Burns. He stayed with the Yorkshire side until 1984, and he was the club player of the year in 1982–83.

Anger counselor charged with pulling gun in parking flap
By Tom Jackman
A respected domestic violence and anger management counselor in Fairfax County was arraigned in federal court Thursday after he allegedly pulled a gun on two men who he believed were blocking his car on an Annandale street last week.
The two men were federal marshals.
Jose L. Avila, 57, was ordered held without bond pending a detention hearing Friday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria. He has been held in the Fairfax jail since Jan. 25, when he apparently picked the wrong place and time to complain about thoughtless parking.
Avila's attorney, William A. Odio, said Avila had worked for many years at the nonprofit Center for Multicultural Human Services in Falls Church, which merged with Northern Virginia Family Service in 2008.
Avila is a single parent and former priest from Colombia who was highly regarded by judges in the Fairfax Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, Odio said. Judges and lawyers often referred people to Avila for pretrial or probationary counseling, particularly because he is bilingual.
Avila allegedly encountered two deputy U.S. marshals outside an apartment complex on Americana Drive, near Little River Turnpike and the Capital Beltway, at 9 a.m. Jan. 25. In a court affidavit, Deputy Marshal Floriano Whitwell said he and another marshal, Matthew M. Dumas, had been conducting a fugitive investigation and parked their sport-utility vehicles in designated parking places on Americana Drive.
Dumas got out of his vehicle and was standing at the window of Whitwell's vehicle when a white Jeep Cherokee drove up and the driver honked his horn, Whitwell wrote. Dumas, with a marshals service "badge clearly visible hanging from his neck," motioned for the Cherokee to continue past. But then the Cherokee turned around and came back, Whitwell wrote.
The driver appeared to be motioning to Dumas, so the marshal moved closer. Then, Whitwell wrote, Dumas "noticed that Avila was aiming a gun at him. Avila was holding the gun and resting his hand on the top of the door with the driver's window completely open," the affidavit states.
"Gun, gun, gun!" Dumas reportedly yelled to his partner, and Whitwell said he looked up and saw "Avila pointing the dark colored firearm in our direction." Avila drove off, and the marshals pursued him and pulled him over.
The marshals identified themselves and tried to arrest Avila, but he was "uncooperative" and "continued to resist arrest and refused to give me his hand which was under his body," Whitwell wrote. The marshals feared that a gun was beneath Avila, and they used "U.S. Marshals Service defensive tactics to eventually apprehend Avila," Whitwell said.
Found on Avila's seat, Whitwell alleges, was a 9mm Astra A-90 pistol loaded with 14 hollow-point bullets. Once out of his vehicle, Avila reportedly apologized profusely and said he had "never done anything like this before," the affidavit said. When he appeared with the marshals before a Fairfax magistrate, he claimed that he had pointed a cellphone, not a gun, at the marshals, Whitwell wrote.
The magistrate charged Avila with attempted malicious assault, brandishing a firearm, using a firearm in a felony and resisting arrest. Fairfax prosecutors dismissed those charges Wednesday after U.S. Magistrate Ivan D. Davis issued a warrant for assault on a federal officer, and Avila was transferred to federal custody Thursday.
Court records show that Avila has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, issued in 2005. Fairfax prosecutors moved Wednesday to suspend that. State records show that Avila has been a licensed professional counselor since 1994 and a licensed marriage and family therapist since 1998.
Odio said Avila pointed only a cellphone at the men, did not see any badges and did not know they were marshals. "He absolutely denies pointing a gun at them," Odio said. He said Avila was speaking on the phone with his son at the time.
Officials at Northern Virginia Family Service declined to comment.

It's a good thing no one called him on his cellphone, so he didn't have to put his Astra A90 next to his ear.

Lucky he wasn't shot. Someone starts yelling "gun gun gun" and actually see him pointing a firearm, I wonder why they didnt shoot?

This litigious society. Many cops (too many cops???) hesitate to shoot first for fear of that lawsuit. It's much more defensible if the BG took at a shot at you first. There is at least that one documented case where the LEO was killed (captured on his videocam) because he had recently been reprimanded by his supervisors for being too quick on the draw.

After working in recruitment Sarah moved to teaching, after starting as an LSA she later became a head of department and specialised in German. Aside from TalentEd she has a one year old who keeps her nice and occupied running around after him.
I actually worked in recruitment before I went into teaching. I was motivated to make the career change by the challenge of bringing out the best in young people and being able to see past their own limitations of themselves.
I am British, and started learning French at primary school and German at secondary school. These proved to be my main passions and I went on to study both at UCL. This gave me the opportunity to live and work in France and Germany, and eventually Hong Kong as well through a placement with my teacher training.
When I first left my job in recruitment I worked in a school in Lambeth as a Learning Support Assistant. I think it was initially so that I could see if working in a school was for me, but I immediately got the bug of working with young people in an inner London setting. I then spent the next few years in Newham doing my NQT year and eventually becoming a head of department. Part of my specialism was German teaching which was for the top sets so I would be focusing on pushing bright students to achieve their potential. This meant that Talent-ed's mission, working with bright students in similar settings to where I had worked, was particularly interesting for me.
There can sometimes be a lot of pressures placed on bright students in schools, including too high expectations, not high enough expectations, self belief worries and perseverance issues. I enjoy encouraging them to fulfil their ambitions and achieve realistic goals.
In my spare time I like to read if I get long enough, I also enjoy sports (although I must admit I am more of a keen viewer than partaker) – my favourites being cricket and rugby. I have a one year old who takes up most of my attention and has just started walking so does running around after him count as exercise..?


Tom Dokkens Retriever Training Book - The Complete Guide to Developing Your Hunting Dog. $19.99.
Today we're looking at the Tom Dokken books and DVDs. This is something that I waited for, for a long time, and Tom has got them released. They came out this year. And they are awesome. It is a very complete method and it's very step-by-step. And it's easy for anybody to understand.
Tom's method just makes a lot of sense. It's something that was developed over a long period of time. He's worked with a lot of dogs. And it just covers things the way that I like to see them covered. The best thing about it is that it's incredibly affordable. The videos are $15 apiece. So you've got a puppy, an intermediate, and an advanced. And then you've got two books that are around $20 apiece.
We've worked with Tom for years. Tom developed the Dokken dead fowl trainers. So it's something that we've been selling for a long time. We've been talking to him for a long time about putting about a training method. So it's something that we've really been waiting for.
What I like about it is that it's broken down in real simple steps. You can buy it as you need it or you can buy it all together. And you've got the advantage of having a book and a DVD that have the same methodology behind them, and that's hard to do. A lot of the books that we sell don't have any sort of videos that come along with them, and a lot of the videos we sell don't have a book. So, depending on how you learn, you've got everything covered.
I just like Tom's method. It's set up for hunters. It's got e-collars. It teaches everything that you need from start to finish. If you want a dog that is a pleasure to hunt behind, this is a really great method to use.
We highly recommend it. It's satisfaction guaranteed. If you are not happy with it we want it back. I can't say enough nice things about it. It's a wonderful collection and I highly recommend it for your retriever and your upland flushing dog. He covers both. So if you are looking for a method that's going to be easy to work with and give you a dog that you are real happy with in the end, check it out: Tom Dokken Retriever Training.
"Tom gets that every dog is different, and tells the best way train your hunting partner"
"The early chapters are extremely helpful, being able to know what I should be expecting from my pup, and what we should be covering."

I have gone back to this book many times as a reference while training my two retrievers.

Awesome step by step plan. Great supplement to the videos! Well done.
Using Tom's training techniques to FF train my GS pointer pups. Also like and am using his place training technique to help with future line and blind retrieves training. He seems like a real hands on trainer using conditioned response and pressure on then pressure off. I am a fan.

The book is a very informative book for training at any age or any level you wish to pursue. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone training their dog for field, water, or just obedience.

Great book. Easy to read, and easy to train from.
I like the book it is nice and straightforward. My main issues with the book come from the difference in age of when my puppy started training. I got my dog at 14 weeks a full month behind where this book starts. Other than the date descrepiancies that I am having, it is a great book.
Plus the pictures are great, I will also point out YouTube has a few dokken videos to see how a few of the exercises are supposed to go.
"Broken down between different ages of your puppy. Fun to read."
Very user friendly and fun to read.
I really like the way the book is broken down between different ages of your puppy.

I have done what Tom has said to do in the book, and everything has worked great.
Good, basic information. I agree 100%. You do not have to hurt your dog to get him to obey. Except, I never force retrieved trained any of my dogs. Never had one yet fail to pick up a bird, stick, rock, turtle, etc.
"What I liked about this book is that it didn't just cover when you got the dog, but rather started at the process of when you're thinking of getting a dog."
What I liked about this book is that it didn't just cover when you got the dog, but rather started at the process of when you're thinking of getting a dog. The book goes into things such as what to look for in picking a pup, puppy-proofing your home, etc. The instructions and illustrations throughout the book are also helped when going through the training routines. I also like the doggy first aid in the later chapters.
"Every topic covered was well described with detailed pictures."
Every topic covered was well described with detailed pictures. The amount of topics covered was a little thin.
Helps you channel your hunting dog's huge ambition so he works for you.
Tom Dokken has more than 30 years of experience turning retrievers into successful field trial competitors, hunt test participants, waterfowling companions, and upland bird finders. Tom is the creator of the popular Dokken Deadfowl Trainer, and Dokken's Oak Ridge Kennels in Northfield, MN, is one of the largest all-breed hunting dog training facilities in the United States.
Tom Dokken has many talents, the greatest of which is his ability to take your happy, untrained dog and, weeks later, return to you a trained companion that's still happy.
Anyone who has attended one of Tom's seminars knows he is a hands-on trainer, beginning with handling your puppy on the very first day. This book provides a well-illustrated, step-by-step program to develop your pup into a willing and happy retriever.

Meet President Bahls
Past presidents of Augustana College
Presidential Green Initiatives Fund
Diversity inventory
Olof Olsson (1841-1900)
Third President of Augustana College, 1891-1899
Born in Karlskoga in the province of Värmland in 1841, Olof Olsson studied theology at Uppsala University and was ordained in the Church of Sweden. In 1869, he immigrated to Kansas with a small group of pietistic Swedes.
Happily ministering to his congregation, Olsson was a reluctant recruit to the faculty of the Theological Seminary in 1876. Trained also as an organist, Olsson brought an interest in music and theology to the college. One of his first acts as a faculty member was to lead the first tour of an Augustana musical organization: In 1877, Olsson took his group of musicians to visit the Kansas congregation he had left behind.
Thus, two traits of Olsson's emerged early in his association with Augustana: his ability to connect to the people of the Synod and his belief in music as an important element of religious experience.
To restore his fragile health, Professor Olsson took a curative leave in Europe where he visited historical Lutheran sites and attended concerts. On April 4, 1879, he heard a performance of G.F. Handel's Messiah in London and at that moment determined to form an oratorio society in Rock Island that would perform the same work. A little more than a year later, a small oratorio society made up of faculty, students, and community members sang portions of Messiah, thereby launching a tradition that continues to this day.
In 1891, three years after he resigned as professor, Olsson was called to the presidency of Augustana College. Reluctant though he may have been to assume strenuous administrative duties, Olsson faced his new assignment with optimism and determination. The problems were many: insufficient financial support, exacerbated by competition from new and growing conference schools in the Synod, varying standards of teaching, and pressures to expand and liberalize the curriculum by offering electives.
Olsson addressed these challenges. He oversaw the revision of the curriculum, which, while emphasizing the original plan of teaching the classics, language, history, religion, science, and mathematics, now offered two tracks, either a classical or a scientific, plus an opportunity to choose a small number of electives. Olsson maintained close relationships with the people of the Synod, welcoming the attendance of students from the local community; led the effort to strengthen athletics by building a gymnasium; introduced the first in a series of library publications; and, above all, encouraged the growth of literary societies and of music.
In 1893, at the Jubilee celebration of the Diet of Uppsala, the University of Uppsala awarded honorary degrees for the first time to Swedish Americans — C.A. Swensson, president of Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas, and Olof Olsson. This distinction was a fitting tribute to Olsson who touched the people of the Augustana Synod and promoted music for the glory of God.

Roscoe Pound in China: A Lost Precedent for the Liabilities of American Legal Exceptionalism
BROOK. J. INT'L Law, Vol. 38, No. 1, 2012

Roscoe Pound retired from Harvard Law School in the late 1940's as one of America's most prominent legal figures. Mostly forgotten today is that Pound left Harvard with great fanfare to take up an appointment as legal adviser to China's Guomindang Party (GMD). Pound went to China at the height of America's also oft forgotten early 20th-century preoccupation with the Chinese Republic's potential legal and political Americanization. As adviser, Pound created a grand reform agenda for Chinese law and became an active stateside propagandist for the GMD. Pound's desire to transform the Chinese legal system along American lines was representative of new presumptions about how American law could act as a stimulus for the legal development of foreign legal systems. These presumptions set American law outside and above international legal discourse, establishing a key modern component of what is today often called American legal exceptionalism.
Pound failed to achieve any success in influencing Chinese legal reforms before the victory of Chinese Communist Party in 1949. More broadly, Pound's "export" work in China undermined and degraded his early commitment to comparative law. Further, his representation of Chinese legal reform as following American patterns pro-actively warped domestic perceptions of Chinese legal developments. After 1949, Pound, like the American legal community more broadly, was unable to reflect critically on his failure. Instead, he used his time in China to fuel a polemical and influential anti-Communism that cast positive evaluations of the export of American law as a test of national loyalty. Pound's experience in China serves as a key modern precedent for the liabilities inherent in the export-driven view of American law abroad that still shapes Sino-America legal relations and the normalization of modern American legal exceptionalism.

All Levels of Government Working Together to Combat the Opioid Crisis
By Suzie Hogan, NYSAC Communications Intern
While counties have been on the forefront of the battle against the opioid addiction crisis, governments at all levels are working to stem the tide of overdoses. Below are some of the resources that governments and associations have made available to raise awareness and boost prevention efforts across the state and nation.
Each county has created programs to help combat the crisis in their communities. These programs are designed to provide education aimed at improving prevention, increasing access to treatment, expanding recovery options and expanding resources for law enforcement.
Last year, the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) was honored at the 2018 Capital Region MARCOM Awards competition for the See the Signs, Save a Life campaign ad. The ad campaign was created in partnership with the New York State Association of Coroners and Medical Examiners. Learn more at http://ny.seethesignssavealife.org/.
NYSAC has a section of its website with additional resources at www.nysac.org/opioids.
The National Association of Counties (NACo) has an Opioid Epidemic Resource Center that includes a comprehensive report created in conjunction with the National League of Cities. The website www.naco.org/resources/opioid-epidemic-action-center includes a range of data and resources.
At the federal level, The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has put together a website (https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/) designed to raise awareness and promote prevention. According to the CDC, "Drug overdose deaths continue to increase in the United States. From 1999 to 2017, more than 702,000 people have died from a drug overdose. In 2017, more than 70,000 people died from drug overdoses, making it a leading cause of injury-related death in the United States. Of those deaths, almost 68% involved a prescription or illicit opioid.)
The US Department of Justice also has a page devoted to Opioid Awareness and Prevention at https://www.justice.gov/opioidawareness. According to the DOJ, "at least 78 people each day will die from an opioid-related overdose."
At the state level, New York State is one of the leading states in providing and implementing programs for opioid and heroin addiction and overdoses. According to NYSDOH, "Staff of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) inquired about using New York's police training as a model for other states."
This summer, the NYS Department of Health launched the New York State Opioid Data Dashboard, which provides a series of datapoints that can help educate policy-makers and local prevention specialists understand and address the epidemic. The site includes a quarterly report which provides opioid overdose information (deaths, emergency department (ED) visits, and hospitalizations) by county.
According to NYS Department of Health, "The dashboard improves timely opioid overdose reporting, supports statewide prevention efforts, and serves as a valuable tool for planning, identifying where communities are struggling, helping communities tailor interventions, and showing improvements." The dashboard includes links on how to become a registered Opioid Overdose Prevention Program, as well an easy guide on how to find these programs in your area, free online training for pharmacists, and an extensive list of all the places in each county that provide medicine to help eliminate overdose deaths.
I-Stop is Tracking Opioid Prescriptions
In 2012, a new program called I-STOP was created and implemented across the state to ensure all controlled substance prescriptions are sent electronically by doctors to track patient's history of prescriptions. The I-Stop program helps ensure patients are not going to multiple doctors or pharmacies to keep obtaining controlled substances. It has resulted in a 90% decrease in these scenarios happening by 2015.
Two workshops on the opioid crisis in our counties will be offered at NYSAC's Fall Seminar next week - find the details at www.nysac.org/FallSeminar.

Channels & Networks
Welcome to ReelRundown
Lucky Star: Comedy of the Mundane
Naomi Starlight
Rachael has PTSD from being bullied. She likes certain anime because they offer emotional solace by showing great friendships.
Intro & Summary:
Goofy space cadet girl Konata Izumi watches anime and manages to pull of decent grades without really studying. She befriends three girls. Kagami and Tsukasa are twins, Kagami being the older and more serious one. Miyuki is the "Mary Sue Senpai" or princess-type character, perfect, smart, charming, and of course, rich. The cool thing about Miyuki is that she's humble and nice, unlike examples of this type in other anime who have haughty attitudes. The show is 'slice of life' in that it's mostly about the comedic potential of certain everyday situations. Lots of Seinfeldian conversation.
There's also a show within a show, the Lucky Channel, which features pink-haired Akira Kogami, whose schtick is that she goes back and forth between her fake, charming, cutesy, energetic stage persona and her real self, who is bitter and cynical. This may be a comment about the fakeness of pop culture in general.

Should I Watch..? 'Kick-Ass 2'
Manga by Kagami Yoshimizu
Additional Material:
Games, Light Novels, Sequel Manga
When I say 'slice of life' a lot of people might think 'watching paint dry'. But it's really just similar to the non-action, non-sequential episodes in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. You get to be with the characters doing things that, while not particularly exciting by themselves, can be fodder for conversation, exploration, and imagination. It's a process of learning to watch fictional characters deal with everyday problems. And that feels good. No, the question of how to eat a choco-cone isn't that important to the whole of humanity. It's not like a question about who should have political power or how to tell a simulation from reality.
But what if I told you it was about the meaning of life, in a way? I'm skeptical that life has grand meaning, in the sense of anything permanent that will outlive humanity, the star we get energy from, and the entire universe. But we have microcosmic meaning. Meaning to ourselves and to the people around us. That's to me what Lucky Star is about, finding the deeper meaning of everyday things. Discovering how different people might approach crane games, for example. Or learning how peoples' upbringing and personality might impact the way they eat certain foods. Those are small things to talk about, but they are something to think about. Micro-meaning-making!
At any rate, this show is a delight.
Rating for Lucky Star: 8/10

A new art show, A Stroke of Nature, peacefully contemplates the natural world
Courtesy of Melissa Lang
You can expect a crowded space with music, performers, selfies and excitement at Terrain 12, at the Jensen Byrd Building on Friday.
But a few blocks south of the annual arts showcase, you might find a more calming art space at the Terrain Gallery in the Washington Cracker Co. Building. Opening the same night, A Stroke of Nature is removed from the raucous event, and probably for a good reason.
Courtesy of Caren Furbeyre
The expectation is a show that instills a sense of inner quiet, says organizer Karen Mobley. It's the same sense of quiet you might find outdoors, in trails and ponds in our local parks, but also in more urban areas, too, like neighborhoods, or even in a strip of grass in a parking lot, she says.
A Stroke of Nature, is an exploration of these settings and more.
"I think sometimes people look at art because they want that feeling of hush," she says, "and when I say 'hush' I don't mean 'SHHHHH!!!'"
A group of six artists (including Mobley) are contributing a total of about 30 pieces for the show, ranging from the abstract to more literal, using oil, acrylics, watercolors, drawings and fibers.
Courtesy of Karen Mobley
The artists, all women from Spokane, each provide their own unique "riff" on nature, Mobley says. The show's exact qualities are hard to describe in words, but perhaps that's where the art speaks for itself.
"While this is all about nature, this isn't a landscape exhibition," Mobley says. "It's about the inspiration that comes from natural experiences. I can't speak to the motivation of everyone, but I think one of the reasons this kind of work is created is because of the sense of reverie or appreciation for the things you see, but also the ephemeral nature of nature."
The show also includes the works of 90-year-old Lila Girvin, a longtime Spokane artist whose acrylic paintings are reminiscent of abstract expressionists from the mid-20th century, with a hint of Japanese sumi art.
"They're not nitpicky tidy little things. They're gestural, fluid works," Mobley says of Girvin's art. "Her work, while very contemporary, does have a place in the chronology of American art, and she is a woman of her time."
Courtesy of Louise Kodis
A viewer could speculate that the all-women art show is a meditation on climate change, or the state of the planet's health. Mobley organized a similar show around the Spokane River last year at the Terrain Gallery, titled Land/Escape. But this new show isn't trying to provoke.
"I think all of the artists in this show have environmental consciousness, but none of them are doing work that's like hard-hitting pontification about environmental issues," she says. "It's more on the emotional, spiritual, experiential level."
That isn't to say A Stroke of Nature won't challenge your relationship with the natural world. Rather, the goal is to also make viewers reconnect with it.
"I don't think, as humans, most of us have lost our relationship to being outside," Mobley says.

You haven't lived until you've tasted a Best Ever Broiled Cherry Whiskey Sour! Made with roasted cherries and homemade sour, this is the BEST St. Patrick's Day cocktail.
I've gotta be honest with you guys, I usually don't like whiskey drinks. I know, shock and awe. I typically prefer my drinks on the girly side, full of dessert vibes and as little alcohol taste as possible! BUT, this Broiled Cherry Whiskey Sour is different. It's the best of both worlds; enough fruit flavor to keep me happy and enough strength to garner respect from Pat. Win win! That's why I'm calling it the BEST EVER Broiled Cherry Whiskey Sour. It's made from (pretty much) scratch, full of flavor, and just girly enough to make me happy. Oh and it's pretty. Cheers!
When I think of St. Patrick's Day, I think of the Irish. When I think of the Irish, I think of Irish Whiskey! When I think of Irish Whiskey…these Broiled Cherry Whiskey Sours are virtually all I can think of! The perfect way to cheers to your Irish heritage this St. Patrick's Day! Easy to make and oh so delicious.
Don't let the "from scratch" add-on scare you. You can use store-bought sour if you must, but this homemade version only has a couple of ingredients and is super simple to throw together. I actually already had all of the ingredients on hand. So save yourself a trip to the store and make the sour yourself. You'll be glad you did!
What foods or drinks make you think of St. Patty's? Do you have any favorite family traditions I should know about? I'm always looking for the next fun recipe. Hope you love this Broiled Cherry Whiskey Sour!

Account Takeover Reaches Record Highs in 2017 — Impacting E-commerce and Online Retailers Most
Glen Goldstein SVP
Why account takeover is becoming a favorite tool for e-commerce fraudsters
Account takeovers occur when fraudsters steal login information to pose as trusted customers and seize control of their online accounts. Once they successfully make small changes to the customer's account information — such as adding a new user or requesting another card — they can quickly initiate unauthorized purchases and money withdrawals.
Account takeovers can also inflict long-term damage to a brand's reputation, as consumers blame the company for allowing criminals to access their accounts. At the same time, companies realize that excessive scrutiny of every account change runs the risk of inconveniencing good customers and generating excessive operational expenses.
The number of account takeovers hit a four-year high in 2017, with losses that surged 120% — to $5.1 billion — in just 12 months, Javelin reported. Experts predict those numbers will increase as clever fraudsters devise new ways to steal information and sneak past company defenses.
But why is account takeover such an attractive tool for fraudsters? And why are e-commerce and online retailers at a higher risk for this type of fraud than other types of businesses?
Any scrap of personal data opens the door
Unlike other types of fraud, criminals don't necessarily need access to the most sensitive types of information, such as Social Security numbers, to launch account takeovers. Many kinds of personal information that can be connected to account data in some circumstances may suffice — even seemingly benign details like a full name or email address.
Traditionally, banks and credit card providers have been the biggest target of account takeovers, but improvements in security measures have spurred a rise in attacks on e-commerce and online retail accounts. E-commerce chargebacks due to fraud are expected to reach $30 billion by 2020, according to a TotalRetail report, which is a significant increase over an estimate of just under $7 billion in 2016.
Basic information like full names, locations and phone numbers are easier to obtain from public accounts or social media profiles than more sensitive personal data. This information can then be matched to sensitive data gleaned from more sophisticated methods, such as phishing schemes or bots. Botnet attacks, which quietly infect a computer network with malicious software, are especially dangerous because they plug in common passwords and usernames to rapidly take over a high volume of accounts.
Why legacy systems are no match
Most detection systems are no match for the increased sophistication and unpredictable nature of account takeover fraud. To truly combat it requires a complete, real-time understanding of normal and abnormal account activities across a company — and even better, the wider industry. Most traditional tools are focused on account compromise fraud and aren't designed to meet this need.
Anomaly detection solutions are better, comparing the activities of account holders against a baseline of normal behavior. But most don't allow for comprehensive cross-company or cross-industry comparisons, and those that do rarely attach identities to the information, making it difficult to track the same customer.
E-commerce fraud solutions that can track both the identity and digital footprint of a particular user are best equipped to detect abnormal behavior at the user-level, helping you identify fraudsters who may be impersonating a customer whose identity has been compromised.

COVID-19 has increased awareness of devolution among UK news providers, report shows
UK news providers have enhanced their coverage of devolved issues as a consequence of COVID-19, a new report has found.
Professor Stephen Cushion of Cardiff University and Dr Richard Thomas of Swansea University were commissioned by Ofcom to carry out an in-depth independent analysis, across television and online.
The study, a continuation of similar research carried out in 2015 and 2016, looked at television news bulletins broadcast on BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and Sky News, as well as the UK news websites on BBC, ITV and Sky News over a four-week period in summer 2021.
The results show there was more news that was potentially relevant to devolution – approximately 40% of the news agenda - because of a focus on Covid rules made by devolved governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as by the UK Government about England.
In addition to the content analysis, the team carried out interviews with senior news editors, which revealed that newsrooms have become increasingly conscious of the need to report devolved policy differences in network news.
Professor Cushion, based at Cardiff University's School of Journalism, Media and Culture, said: "Our most recent analysis of UK news coverage shows a growing emphasis on matters relating to devolution, largely down to the pandemic and differing rules that were imposed in each nation.
"But, while we identified around 60% of stories relevant to devolution included some form of reference to one or more of the four nations, there were still 40% of items which did not include any signposting about the relevance of devolution, such as stating if a policy related to England only. Furthermore, when a devolved issue was covered, few items compared government decisions across the four nations.
"So, although it is encouraging to see an improvement in how devolved matters are being covered, we still found missed opportunities to communicate the impact of devolution on audiences. It is vital further work is done to ensure viewers across the UK are kept equally informed about important issues."
Academics examined 1751 news items over a period of four weeks. Television news made up 1,331 news items, while online amounted to 420. Ongoing news reporting about the pandemic was prominent throughout the sample period, including coverage of COVID-19 restrictions across the UK and internationally, and to a lesser extent coverage of the 2020 European football Championship, in particular the run up to, and aftermath of, the games featuring England.
Professor Cushion and colleagues at Cardiff University have spent 15 years researching the role news outlets play in communicating devolution. Find out more here.

The ring-imaging Cherenkov, or RICH, detector is a device for identifying the type of an electrically charged subatomic particle of known momentum, that traverses a transparent refractive medium, by measurement of the presence and characteristics of the Cherenkov radiation emitted during that traversal. RICH detectors were first developed in the 1980s and are used in high energy elementary particle- , nuclear- and astro-physics experiments.

This article outlines the origins and principles of the RICH detector, with brief examples of its different forms in modern physics experiments.

Ring-imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector

Origins

The ring-imaging detection technique was first proposed by Jacques Séguinot and Tom Ypsilantis, working at CERN in 1977. Their research and development, of high precision single-photon detectors and related optics, lay the foundations for the design development  and construction of the first large-scale Particle Physics RICH detectors, at CERN's OMEGA facility and LEP (Large Electron–Positron Collider) DELPHI experiment.

Principles
A ring-imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector allows the identification of electrically charged subatomic particle types through the detection of the Cherenkov radiation  emitted (as photons) by the particle in traversing a medium with refractive index   > 1.  The identification is achieved by measurement of the angle of emission, , of the Cherenkov radiation, which is related to the charged particle's velocity  by

where  is the speed of light.

Knowledge of the particle's momentum and direction (normally available from an associated momentum-spectrometer) allows a predicted  for each hypothesis of the particles type; using the known  of the RICH radiator gives a corresponding prediction of  that can be compared to the  of the detected Cherenkov photons, thus indicating the particle's identity (usually as a probability per particle type).  A typical (simulated) distribution of  vs momentum of the source particle, for single Cherenkov photons, produced in a gaseous radiator (n~1.0005, angular resolution~0.6mrad) is shown in the following figure:

The different particle types follow distinct contours of constant mass, smeared by the effective angular resolution of the RICH detector; at higher momenta each particle emits a number of Cherenkov photons which, taken together, give a more precise measure of the average  than does a single photon, allowing effective particle separation to extend beyond 100 GeV in this example.
This particle identification is essential for the detailed understanding of the intrinsic physics of the structure and interactions of elementary particles.  The essence of the ring-imaging method is to devise an optical system with single-photon detectors, that can isolate the Cherenkov photons that each particle emits, to form a single "ring image" from which an accurate  can be determined.

A polar plot of the Cherenkov angles of photons associated with a 22 GeV/c particle in a radiator with =1.0005 is shown below; both pion and kaon are illustrated; protons are below Cherenkov threshold,
,
producing no radiation in this case (which would also be a very clear signal of particle type = proton, since fluctuations in the number of photons follow Poisson statistics about the expected mean, so that the probability of e.g. a 22 GeV/c kaon producing zero photons when ~12 were expected is very small; e−12 or 1 in 162755) The number of detected photons shown for each particle type is, for illustration purposes, the average for that type in a RICH having  ~ 25 (see below). The distribution in azimuth is random between 0 and 360 degrees; the distribution in  is spread with RMS angular resolution  ~ 0.6 milliradians.

Note that, because the points of emission of the photons can be at any place on the (normally straight line) trajectory of the particle through the radiator, the emerging photons fill a light-cone in space.

In a RICH detector the photons within this light-cone pass through an optical system and impinge upon a position sensitive photon detector. With a suitably focusing optical system this allows reconstruction of a ring, similar to that above, the radius of which gives a measure of the Cherenkov emission angle . The resolving power of this method is illustrated by comparing the Cherenkov angle per photon, see the first plot above, with the mean Cherenkov angle per  particle (averaged over all photons emitted by that particle) obtained by ring-imaging, shown below; the greatly enhanced separation between particle types is very clear:

This ability of a RICH system to successfully resolve different hypotheses for the particle type depends on two principal factors, which in turn depend upon the listed sub-factors;

 The effective angular resolution per photon,
 Chromatic dispersion in the radiator ( varies with photon frequency)
 Aberrations in the optical system
 Position resolution of the photon detector
 The maximum number of detected photons in the ring-image,
 The length of radiator through which the particle travels
 Photon transmission through the radiator material
 Photon transmission through the optical system
 Quantum efficiency of the photon detectors
 is a measure of the intrinsic optical precision of the RICH detector.  is a measure of the optical response of the RICH; it can be thought of as the limiting case of the number of actually detected photons produced by a particle whose velocity approaches that of light, averaged over all relevant particle trajectories in the RICH detector.   The average number of Cherenkov photons detected, for a slower particle, of charge  (normally ±1), emitting photons at angle  is then

and the precision with which the mean Cherenkov angle can be determined with these photons is approximately

to which the angular precision of the emitting particle's measured direction must be added in quadrature, if it is not negligible compared to .

Given the known momentum of the emitting particle and the refractive index of the radiator, the expected Cherenkov angle for each particle type can be predicted, and its difference from the observed mean Cherenkov angle calculated.  Dividing this difference by   then gives a measure of the 'number of sigma' deviation of the hypothesis from the observation, which can be used in computing a probability or likelihood for each possible hypothesis.  The following figure shows the 'number of sigma' deviation of the kaon hypothesis from a true pion ring image (π not k) and of the pion hypothesis from a true kaon ring image (k not π), as a function of momentum, for a RICH with  = 1.0005,  = 25,  = 0.64 milliradians;

Also shown are the average number of detected photons from pions(Ngπ) or from kaons(Ngk). One can see that the RICH's ability to separate the two particle types exceeds 4-sigma everywhere between threshold and 80 GeV/c, finally dropping below 3-sigma at about 100 GeV.  It is important to note that this result is for an 'ideal' detector, with homogeneous acceptance and efficiency, normal error distributions and zero background.  No such detector exists, of course, and in a real experiment much more sophisticated procedures are actually used to account for those effects; position dependent acceptance and efficiency; non-Gaussian error distributions; non negligible and variable event-dependent backgrounds.

In practice, for the multi-particle final states produced in a typical collider experiment, separation of kaons from other final state hadrons, mainly pions, is the most important purpose of the RICH.  In that context the two most vital RICH functions, which maximise signal and minimise combinatorial backgrounds, are its ability to correctly identify a kaon as a kaon and its ability not to misidentify a pion as a kaon. The related probabilities, which are the usual measures of signal detection and background rejection in real data,  are plotted below to show their variation with momentum (simulation with 10% random background);

Note that the ~30% π → k misidentification rate at 100 GeV is, for the most part, due to the presence of 10% background hits (faking photons) in the simulated detector; the 3-sigma separation in the mean Cherenkov angle (shown in the 4th plot above) would, by itself, only account for about 6% misidentification. More detailed analyses of the above type, for operational RICH detectors, can be found in the published literature.

For example, the LHCb experiment at the CERN LHC studies, amongst other B-meson decays, the particular process B0 → π+π−. The following figure shows, on the left, the π+π− mass distribution without RICH identification, where all particles are assumed to be π ; the B0 → π+π− signal of interest is the turquoise-dotted line and is completely swamped by background due to B and  Λ decays involving kaons and protons, and combinatorial background from particles not associated with the B0 decay.

On the right are the same data with RICH identification used to select only pions and reject kaons and protons; the B0 → π+π− signal is preserved but all kaon- and proton-related backgrounds are greatly reduced, so that the overall B0 signal/background has improved by a factor ~ 6, allowing much more precise measurement of the decay process.

RICH Types

Both focusing and proximity-focusing detectors are in use. In a focusing RICH detector, the photons are collected by a spherical mirror with focal length  and focused onto the photon detector placed at the focal plane. The result is a circle with a radius , independent of the emission point along the particle's track (). This scheme is suitable for low refractive index radiators (i.e., gases) with their larger radiator length needed to create enough photons.

In the more compact proximity-focusing design a thin radiator volume emits a cone of Cherenkov light which traverses a small distance, the proximity gap, and is detected on the photon detector plane. The image is a ring of light the radius of which is defined by the Cherenkov emission angle and the proximity gap. The ring thickness is mainly determined by the thickness of the radiator. An example of a proximity gap RICH detector is the High Momentum Particle Identification (HMPID), one of the detectors of ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment), which is one of the five experiments at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN.

In a DIRC (Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light), another design of a RICH detector, light that is captured by total internal reflection inside the solid radiator reaches the light sensors at the detector perimeter, the precise rectangular cross section of the radiator preserving the angular information of the Cherenkov light cone. One example is the DIRC of the BaBar experiment at SLAC.

The LHCb experiment on the Large Hadron Collider uses two RICH detectors for differentiating between pions and kaons. The first (RICH-1) is located immediately after the Vertex Locator (VELO) around the interaction point and is optimised for low-momentum particles and the second (RICH-2) is located after the magnet and particle-tracker layers and optimised for higher-momentum particles.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer device AMS-02, recently mounted on the International Space Station uses a RICH detector in combination with other devices to analyze cosmic rays.

Xenon is counted as 1 hand or 2 hand? Got some intrest to sell my scroll.
Just for you to know, it doesn't really require one to hold a 2h weap. Just get a legandary spirit skill and it will work?
Yeah that's my FB. And you will get the scroll accordingly to what weapon your character's job uses. So for example if you're a Kaiser, you use 2H swords. Hence, you'll receive a 2H Weapon Attack Scroll. But if you're a Phantom, you use a cane, which is 1H. Hence, you'll receive a 1H Weapon Attack Scroll. I would prefer if the scroll is 2H though, since I'll be looking into scrolling my weapon first.

In January 2021, Collin College summoned professors Audra Heaslip and Suzanne Jones to separate meetings within hours of each other. The professors — who represent two thirds of the leadership of a local chapter of the Texas Faculty Association, a non-collective bargaining union — were informed their contracts would not be renewed due to objections from senior administrators. The college cited the professors' criticism of the college's decision to reopen amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, references to the college's name on the TFA's website, and Jones' signature on a public letter urging the removal of Confederate statues. On February 4, 2021, FIRE wrote to Collin College, reminding it that the First Amendment protects faculty members' expressive rights and their rights to associate with unions.


Kuching, 26 January 2012– The arrival of 170 passengers at Pending Port here last Saturday morning marked the third arrival of MV ORION II cruise ship this year into Kuching.
The Orion Expedition Cruise from Australia was on another round of 10 nights "Borneo-Rajahs, Riches & Rainforests" cruise which earlier sails from Singapore to Bako National Park in Sarawak with a stop in Kuching before continuing to Pontianak in Kalimantan, cruising via Gunung Palung up to Tanjung Puting – Camp Leakey, Benoa in Kalimantan.
Arriving in Kuching, all disembarking passengers, mostly from Australia, Germany, UK and US were greeted with a traditional welcoming dance courtesy of Sarawak Tourism Board. Present at the ceremony was the Board's Regional Marketing Manager (UK & Europe), Mr. Maurice Balang who also presented the passengers with Sarawak beads garlands.
Other than visiting Kuching's famous Orang Utan rehabilitation centre in Semenggoh, a special theme party was also organised for the passengers at the Iban Longhouse of Sarawak Cultural Village. The cruise departed Kuching the same night after the theme party.
Sarawak Tourism Board is looking forward for another round of call from the same ship a few weeks from now in February. Cruise ships arrival contributes about 2,000 tourists' arrival into the state last year and STB recognises the importance in providing its marketing support.

Q: write get request one time in all app - swift I'm trying to write a protocol for http get requests and use it in my view controllers. The idea is to prevent writing request in each VC and write it once in app. I wrote a protocol with get function and wrote an extension for it to implement get request using Alamofire.
protocol Irequest
{
    func getRequest(url: String, completion: (JSON) -> ())
    func postRequest(url: String, param: Parameters, completion: (JSON) -> ())
}

extension Irequest
{
    func getRequest(url: String, completion:@escaping (JSON) -> ())
    {

Alamofire.request(url.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlFragmentAllowed)!, method: .post)
    .responseJSON { response in
            debugPrint(response)
            if let Json = response.result.value
            {
                let j = JSON(Json)
                completion(j)
            }
            else
            {
                completion(JSON("{}"))
            }
    }
}

}

Now, when i wanna use it in my class it say class X doesn't conform protocol Irequest. How can i use it? and in more general term, how can i have one get request function in all app?
class X : UIViewController , Irequest

A: 1.
the protocol's get method signature is != the extension's get signature. one has no @escaping, one does.
==> methods don't match, ergo get isn't there
2.
post isn't implemented at all
==> ergo method is missing

from the comments you already know about 2 so fix 1 and you should be good :)

Q: Is there any C macro that wraps a function? Is there a way to do something like what I was willing to do with this syntax:
#define WRAP_MY_FUNCTION(x){Y} void x(int integer){printf("begin\n"); Y ; printf("end\n");}

So I can have this
WRAP_MY_FUNCTION(Foo){printf("hello world\n");}

which is equivalent to
void Foo(int integer)
{
    printf("begin\n");
    printf("hello world\n");
    printf("end\n");
}

to output
begin
hello world
end

Note: I'd prefer to have function code in brackets so the end-user understands this is a code block.

A: You could pass in another parameter to the macro to define your print statement.
Something like this:
#define WRAP_MY_FUNCTION(x, Y) void x(int integer){printf("begin\n"); Y; printf("end\n");}

WRAP_MY_FUNCTION(Foo, printf("hello world\n"))

If you'd like to make it more clear to the end user that this is a code block and, as rici pointed out, adding a Variadic macro to fix unprotected commas that might be in your source, you could rewrite your definition to be:
#define WRAP_MY_FUNCTION(x, ...)\
    void x(int integer)         \
    {                           \
        printf("begin\n");      \
        __VA_ARGS__             \
        printf("end\n");        \
    }                           \
