Join me for the May 9 workshop, Boston Women Owning Real Estate, hosted by Wonder Women of Boston.
Nationally, over the past decade, single women alone have been the fastest growing segment of homebuyers, making up as much as 22% of the homebuying population. That's no joke.
Whether we're in our mid-twenties or of retiring age, women face any number of questions: Do I buy with my significant other or independently? How long do I need to save up? Can I buy a multi-family or other income-generating property? Who do I think I am to be buying property in the first place?
While I'm an advocate of owning property independently as women (indeed, we get to have more than a "room of one's own"), there are many paths to homeownership, including with relatives and friends. The key goal is to have a solid asset that grows with you, especially in a vibrant real estate market such as Greater Boston's. In order to accomplish that, you'll want informed, savvy advising.
What many don't know is that it's never been so affordable, and accessible, to buy property. With interest rates still at an all-time historical low and a simultaneous precipitous rise in rents, for many, it's actually cheaper to buy than to continue to rent.
I need a 20% downpayment. In fact, reputable and popular loan programs such as MassHousing's allow you to purchase with as little as 3% down.
Property taxes make it too expensive. In fact, on a Boston homeowner's primary residence, the City of Boston exempts a portion of the annual property taxes, issuing an effective discount, currently about $1,700.
It's cheaper if I don't use a realtor. In fact, you don't pay your buyers agent; she gets paid from the proceeds of the sale via the seller's agent. And her role is to get you the best price and terms based on your priorities. If the seller has that working for them, you certainly should to.
A strong realtor, and the team she assembles, will equip you with the informed edge you need to succeed in a competitive, sought-after market that's worth being a part of.
On March 23, 2013 Trish Fontanilla, Committee Member with Wonder Women of Boston participated in the Strong Women, Strong Girls Spring Field Trip! Trish shared information about the work Women Women of Boston and the importance of community service and volunteering. Below is a recap of the event by Kara Blue of Strong Women Strong Girls Northeastern University Chapter.
During the spring, the women and girls in Strong Women, Strong Girls at Northeastern (SWSG@NU) focus on service learning. Each year, we have a different theme tied along to each field trip. To have more transparency between our curriculum and focus of the semester, we incorporated the service learning theme into our spring field trip. To start the day, we had three different activities that the girls and mentors rotated through. During the first activity, the girls made over 20 cookie boxes for different organizations in Boston that empower women! We utilized our resources to find all of these organizations in the Greater Boston Area. I, myself, learned a lot about organizations that I never knew even existed in our community. It was an awesome learning process for not only the girls, but the mentors too!
The girls decorated the box and then wrote thank you notes to the organizations after reading information cards on what each organization contributes to our community. Then, the boxes were filled with an assortment of cookies baked by the Executive Board in SWSG@NU. A few of the women empowerment organizations we included were: Wonder Women of Boston, The Women's Lunch Place, Girls Rock Campaign Boston, Project HIP-HOP, Boston Women's Heritage Trail, Women in Bio, the Boston Women's Commission and more!
During the second activity, we partnered up with Cradles to Crayons to create over 400 well wishes! Well wishes are placed into each backpack filled with all the supplies kids need to have a successful school year! The last activity was our coloring book activity. We partnered up with Circle K, another Northeastern student group, to create over 100 coloring books for children and their siblings at the Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Institute at Tufts Medical Center.
We wanted the girls to not only participate in activities that give back to the community, but also make the connections between the activities, and what these organizations really do everyday. We were so elated after reaching out to our organizations, that 8 different representatives came out during our field trip to talk to the girls about what they do for women in our community. The girls loved getting to talk to these women! I was beaming, walking around to each table of girls, and seeing them all so engaged in their conversations with these lovely women.
We concluded the day with a performance from Pitch! Please; a new, all female A Cappella group at Northeastern! They sang a beautiful performance, and also spoke to the girls about the importance of loving who you are and maintaining confidence in yourself and your abilities. It was an awesome ending to a wonderful day!
The overall day was a splendid time to get together with our girls and take some time from our weekends to not only reflect on all of the amazing work that's done in our community, but to also do our part and give back to the community that gives us all so much. Appreciation was an underlying theme that was very present at our field trip - from the girls to the mentors to the awesome representatives who were there. I appreciate everyone who helped me put this awesome day together - it would not have been so successfully amazing without everyone's contribution. Thank you to all!

The essence of the Transportation Maintenance Facility is the bringing together of three important groups of people - The Administrators, The Drivers, The Mechanics - to serve the students of the District.
Mill Creek Middle School is located on a 10+ acre site in the city center of town. The existing school is bordered by major arterial streets as well as Mill Creek. The area around the school was defined by a variety of small business and light industrial properties, lacking a consistent urban character.
Phase I consisted of the modernization of 65,000 square feet and an addition to the existing school. Included in this phase was the complete remodel of two major buildings, a new library addition, multi-use learning center, science, and mathematics classrooms, each with state of the art technology.
Phase II included remodeling and expanding the existing cafeteria as well as replacing the kitchen and music rooms. The music rooms were designed for integrated sound recording equipment.
Phase III addressed the gymnasium and locker rooms. The existing gym floors were raised to avoid seasonal flooding. The locker rooms were replaced with brand new facilities, and the gymnasiums, weight room, and locker rooms were unified with a central galleria.
The campus needed identity, organization, and most importantly, a school the students would be proud of. The removal of the central existing building provided the campus with a new central courtyard which acts as the organizing component of the campus. The courtyard is connected to the urban corner to create a community plaza which transforms the entire school entrance and image.
Also critical to the program was the redefinition of the culture of the school to become a place which places a higher value on knowledge. Leading the way in this initiative was the integration of the Kent Technology Academy that brings students from around the district to Mill Creek. The new design of the school also integrated small learning communities by grouping classrooms in a manner that encourages and provides collaborative learning and project development.
Bambuza is a Vietnamese restaurant located in the Seattle Convention Center Building. The project called for the comprehensive redesign and construction of the entire tenant space in the building.
The restaurant includes a commercial kitchen and food preparation area as well as dining room.
The interior was envisioned as a space that was artistically engaging to the eyes and invoked the intense color, classic forms, and natural materials native to Vietnam with an added contemporary twist.
Chief Sealth High School is in a diverse community that emphasizes international education in a dynamic, multi-cultural environment. The school is a tribute to Chief Sealth, the leader of the Suquamish and Duwamish Native American tribes.
The modernization of the existing Chief Sealth High School consisted of transforming the existing student center, math academy, science lab, and 9th grade academy. More importantly, a fresh, new school image was desired for the campus.
The new, iconic entrance was inspired by Native American culture and served to tie the campus together.
The Church is located on a hillside within an evergreen forest and the design was inspired by the spirit of the Church's membership. The central sanctuary skylight acts as a beacon within the wooded site, a concept inspired by the Unitarian Chalice, the most prominent symbol of the Church.
The program for the new church building consisted of the primary sanctuary and narthex spaces supported by offices, conference, classroom, kitchen, and service spaces.
The design for Coal Creek Terrace was created in a partnership with Habitat for Humanity.
The site is unique because the addition is surrounded by existing buildings. The topography is relatively flat, but the elementary school needed a number of new elements inserted around the existing structures. The existing power, data, and fire alarm services crossing the courtyard needed to be preserved and limited street improvements were needed.
The primary task was to add a cafeteria to the existing site. The central paved courtyard was utilized to create a cafeteria and multi-purpose room. The space is surrounded by four buildings including the administration, gymnasium, and two classroom wings. This new multi-purpose room and conference room added 6,000 square feet.
The existing covered walkways supported the power, data, and fire alarm cabling which needed to remain. Where the new building attaches to the gymnasium, the cabling was concealed in a supported ceiling space. The addition serves as a central gathering point for the entire school. It can be broken into smaller flexible spaces, or transformed into a performance hall.
The new Food Lifeline Facility was envisioned on a 10.6 acre site in south Seattle between West Marginal Way, Highland Park Way, and 2nd Ave South, near the Duwamish River. The site offers optimal vehicular and public transportation access with a direct connection to the First Avenue Bridge and SR 509/Hwy 99. It also has ideal orientation for views to Mount Rainier, Downtown Seattle, and solar access for daylighting and solar power generation.
Food Lifeline had two main facilities in Shoreline and South Seattle. The Shoreline facility had an area of 27,382 square feet and the South Seattle facility contained 27,446 square feet. The primary goal of the vision study was to consolidate these two facilities under the same roof with a total gross area of 150,000 square feet.
The feasibility vision, designed for implementation in 2015, was a building that empowers the organization to more efficiently carry out its mission to support regional and local communities. The new facility will utilize the concepts of transparency, accessibility, and visibility to reinforce the organization's values and better fulfill its mission of ending hunger in Western Washington. This will be done by not only providing meals to the hungry, but also by providing a healthy, safe, and sustainable workplace.
The Freeland Office Building is comprised of approximately 12,000 square feet, evenly divided into two levels with retail space below and office above. Our goal in the design of this building was to create an adaptive and flexible space that is able to grow and conform to the needs of this small community as well as helping to establish a character that will act as a precedent to future development.
In addition to the consideration of material life-cycle analysis this building takes a sustainable approach for mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering systems. On-site septic as well as photo-voltaic power systems and an exceptionally efficient elevator system helps to minimize the impact of the building on the surrounding infrastructure. The energy efficient elevator saves 50% compared to a conventional system. The site also provides bike storage and drainable pavers instead of impervious asphalt.
The University of Washington campus design evolution started in 1900 with the Fuller Oval Plan. It has grown into today's master plan with the influence of Olmsted in 1914. Providing design services for the University of Washington requires an understanding of how the University has evolved since its inception. In particular, designers must understand the relationship between each building and the surrounding campus composition. Additionally, the predominant style of Collegiate Gothic Architecture is another important understanding that an architect must have in order to provide exceptional service to the campus.
The Orcas Island schools are located near the city of Eastsound on the north side of Orcas Island. The site sits on an elevated, relatively flat parcel of land that at the south border slopes steeply all the way to the water. It is surrounded by trees at the parcel boundaries. The slight slope from the soccer fields to the south of the site has created a variety of finish floor elevations for the various schools and programs.
SMA was brought in to conduct a study and survey for the elementary, middle, and high schools. After finding many deficiencies in the campus buildings the District hired SMA to complete educational specifications for the entire K-12 campus.
We met with school personnel and conducted site visits multiple times during the educational specification process to determine the needs, wants, and goals for the schools. We helped narrow down visions for the campus by presenting design ideas and budget numbers for each possible solution. This allowed us by the end of the process to present three possible scenarios based on bond size with a focus on a main solution that we recommended to meet the needs of the district.
The main solution involved the design of the three different schools by creating individual courtyards for the elementary, middle, and high schools. Each corresponding outdoor space is intended to have its own character which is specific to the nature of the ages and grades of the students in the respective school.
Pop Keeney Stadium is the result of several years of hard work between the Northshore School District and the City of Bothell. The master plan that we produced was based on the needs and goals that the school district has for the stadium. The project master plan was originally inspired by the Roman Colosseum and the City of Bothell comprehensive master plan.
This project consists of providing a 1500 seat covered visitor grandstand, two locker room buildings, a concession stand building and a new entrance at the Northeast of the lot. In addition, the site includes a 500 stall parking lot along the North and East side of the property where a future aquatic center and parking garage may be built.
The 55,000 square foot Meadowdale Elementary School is located in a residential neighborhood. The existing school was demolished and a new school erected on the same site. To reduce traffic concerns, the parent's drop-off area was located near the rear of the school. The existing playfields were refurbished and kept at their existing locations.
The program called for small learning communities around a flexible space. Also, the cafeteria was separated from the gymnasium, but has the flexibility to convert both spaces into a larger auditorium/multi-purpose room.
The main architectural idea was rooted from a strong collaboration between teachers, administrators, community members, and the design team. The concept was based upon the marriage of the educational philosophy of the School District and the site potentials. The District's vision for education was to create flexible and adaptable instructional spaces throughout the school that could be used for a variety of functions.
The school theme was based on a central courtyard with a music room as its focal point. The two-story classroom pods are placed around the central courtyard bounded by the commons/gymnasium and administration buildings. The classrooms are organized around a central, flexible, common-use space.
The end goal of a successful monument is to be memorable, timeless, meaningful, and inspirational. It must capture the essence of the memories it represents. Such a memorial must physically rest on a base anchored to the ground to signify permanence and necessity, and should reach to the sky to connect with our environment and free spirit.
The approach to the memorial is equally as important as the memorial itself. The placement should be prominent and dignified, as well as celebrate in a humble manner its character and meaning. The memorial, in the outdoor gathering area of the new Wildcat Memorial Stadium, establishes prominence and will commemorate the sacrifices of the men and women who served this country.
The new memorial embraces the essence and spirit of service, giving each branch of the military its place in time and space. The memorial uses the pentagon as the basic form with its base increasing in size as it reaches the top to form a central obelisk aligned with the main entrance to the stadium. Each side of the pentagon has an armed forces emblem. The pentagon holds a decommissioned navy ship's bell symbolizing the memories and sacrifices the veterans of Oak Harbor made for their country. The bell is celebrated with lights reaching up from the ground on each of the five sides combining into one powerful light firing up into the sky from the top of the monument. The monument itself is constructed of a lasting material.
The house is located on a two acre wooded site overlooking the Guemes Channel to the south.
The family wanted a house that could accommodate four children and their families as well as Mrs. Terrana.
The 4,000 square foot house was organized around a central great hall facing the channel. All rooms were placed in relation to each other and each room has a view of the channel as well.
Olympic View Elementary was built in 1968. The school was in need of updates and repairs in several areas when SMA was contracted.
This modernization primarily focused on the comprehensive redesign of the kitchen, administrative office, library, and entrance. Inclusive to the renovation were mechanical and electrical system upgrades as well as new data, intercom, and fire alarm systems. The project also included re-roofing of the entire school with a single-ply membrane system and replacement of the gutters and downspouts.

District 622 approves max levy
Submitted by admin1 on Wed, 09/30/2015 - 12:00am
Joshua Nielsen
Levy would remain flat if referendums fail this fall
The North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale School Board approved District 622's preliminary property-tax levy at its Sept. 22 meeting.
Board members certified the proposed levy maximum of $41,339,197 for 2016. If the preliminary levy is approved at its maximum in December when board members will vote on a final levy, it would be the same amount approved by the board last year.
Business services director Randy Anderson explained that most school districts, including 622, generally approve the maximum proposed levy, because it allows the most flexibility in final levy planning.
The preliminary property-tax levy is a "not-to-exceed" levy, which means once approved by the board it cannot be raised; it can, however, be lowered.
Like all public school districts, 622 must certify a final levy by the end of December.
Board members will vote to approve a final property-tax levy Tuesday, Dec. 15, at the same location, following a truth-in-taxation hearing at 6 p.m.
November referendum questions
Separate from the property-tax levy set by the board is a two-question operating levy referendum proposal to appear on the Nov. 3 ballot.
Like many other metro-area school districts, 622 will be asking voters to approve large levy increases this fall.
District 622 is seeking an operating levy increase of $900 per pupil, as well as a $3 million technology levy. The district currently receives about $913 per student in local, state and federal tax revenues. If approved, the $900 increase would boost overall funding to just over $1,800 per full-time student.
During a presentation on the levy referendum proposals at the board meeting, superintendent Christine Osorio reminded those in attendance and watching on TV, that all districts have an operating levy in place. She said 622 currently ranks at the very bottom when it comes to per-pupil funding out of the 20 largest metro-area school districts. At the same time, 622 is one of the larger districts in terms of enrollment with over 10,000 students.
While voters approved the continuation of an existing operating levy in 2011, District 622 has not seen an increased operating levy in well over a decade.
"We're hoping this opportunity will be the first increase since 2002," the superintendent said.
Osorio said the increase in per pupil spending is necessary to maintain class sizes and expand college and career pathways for students. The technology levy would be used to pay for increased Wi-Fi bandwidth and to purchase updated software and technology for classroom instruction, as well as for increased safety and security measures.
The proposed levy referendum increases — the operating and technology levies — combined would add about $348 per year to a typical homeowner's property-tax bill, according to district leaders.
The district has had to slash over $35 million from its budget since 2005, and more cuts are inevitable if the November levy referendums were to fail.
A tax calculator and other information on the levy proposal is available on the school district website.
The district is holding two informational meetings on the levy proposals at 622's District Education Center, 2520 E. 12th Ave. in North St. Paul. The meetings will take place from 5 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30, and Tuesday, Oct. 27.

1.1 Neutrality concept in logic Every point of view A tends to be neutralized, diminished, balanced by Non-A. At the same time, in between A and Non-A there are infinitely many points of view Neut-A. Let's note by A an idea, or proposition, theory, event, concept, entity, by Non-A what is not A, and by Anti-A the opposite of A. Neut-A means what is neither A nor Anti-A, i.e. neutrality is also in between the two extremes.
This book has three chapters. In the first chapter the notion of n-vector spaces of type II are introduced. This chapter gives over 50 theorems. Chapter two introduces the notion of n-inner product vector spaces of type II, n-bilinear forms and n-linear functionals. The final chapter suggests over a hundred problems. It is important that the reader should be well versed with not only linear algebra but also n-linear algebras of type I.
This book was intended to discuss some paradoxes in Quantum Mechanics from the viewpoint of Multi-Valued-logic pioneered by Lukasiewicz, and a recent concept Neutrosophic Logic. Essentially, this new concept offers new insights on the idea of 'identity', which too often it has been accepted as given.
On the Bicoset of a Bivector Space Abstract: The study of bivector spaces was first intiated by Vasantha Kandasamy. The objective of this paper is to present the concept of bicoset of a bivector space and obtain some of its elementary properties. Key Words: bigroup, bivector space, bicoset, bisum, direct bisum, inner biproduct space, biprojection.


I made mine but it took 3 tries. The first two I had 20% infill and it would collapse while printing and come out very ugly and messy, I stopped both less than 10% in. The third one I made solid with 100% infill and it works great, do this if you are having trouble printing.

Business record checks: is HMRC playing fair?
HMRC has confirmed plans to check the business records of 200,000 small traders over the next four years, on a "test and learn" basis.
Under the business records check scheme, HMRC officers seek to establish whether full and accurate records are being kept. When records are considered insufficient, the trader is given advice and the promise of a follow-up visit.
Yet, having seen the business records check initiative in action, accountants have noted concerns.
"There seems to be some confusion amongst HMRC officers conducting checks, and this is worrying," says George Bull, head of tax at Baker Tilly.
"In one case, the small trader was told that there was no pilot, and that if anything was found to be wrong, record-keeping penalties would be pursued. But the threat of penalties is premature, as HMRC is on record as stating that no penalties would be sought at the 'test and learn' stage."
Bull also tells of another case, where business records were categorised as "substandard", even though the only failure was a lack of purchase invoices for flowers (of just £25 per month).
Or there was also the time when HMRC officers used a visit to "interview" a small trader on more general tax issues, asking about private income, which has no relevance to the business records check, and goes beyond the parameters of the initiative.
"As with any pilot, we appreciate that there are always likely to be teething problems and no doubt some of these issues will be ironed out over time," says Bull.
"But if HMRC is genuinely looking to improve the standard of record keeping, rather than investigating traders by the back door, then the department must make sure it plays by the rules."

Q: Samsung Duos S2 is not connecting with Eclipse My mobile Samsung Galaxy Duos S2 was successfully connecting with Eclipse but suddenly Eclipse cannot detect my device. I have USB drivers and everything installed and my mobile is recognized by my computer, but Eclipse is not connecting to it. All other devices connect successfully via Eclipse. Is there a way of checking that a particular device has drivers for Eclipse, or any other way to connect the device with Eclipse?

A: Maybe you're missing Samsung's universal USB drivers for mobile devices.
You can download a version from here.
Or, download the latest Samsung USB drivers from Bittorrent.
Then install Samsung USB drivers onto your computer.
Note: In Windows, simply relying on the Windows USB drivers will not successfully connect your device via ADB to Eclipse for Android development.

Undergoing meiosis , a process where the cell 's nucleus divides, without reaching the stage at which homologous chromatid s pair to exchange genetic material (called chiasma ta).
A type of pairing that occurs during meiosis , a process where the cell 's nucleus divides, which involves the terminal portions of homologous chromosomes .
A form of nuclear division which does not reduce the number of chromosome s because both of the nuclear divisions normally part of the process of meiosis have failed to occur.
The stage in the first meiotic division of meiosis that follows metaphase I . The pairs of homologous chromosome s are separated from each other and moved to opposite ends of the cell . This stage begins as soon as homologous chromosomes begin separating and ends when the chromosome s arrive at opposite ends of the cell.
The stage in the second meiotic division of meiosis that follows metaphase II . In each cell produced during the first meiotic division , the paired chromatid s are separated from each other and moved to opposite ends of the cell. The stage begins as soon as the centromere s connecting each chromatid to its pair break and ends when the two new sets of chromosome s arrive at opposite ends of each cell.
Not forming part of a cycle which involves fertilization and meiosis .
A way in which meiosis produces new combinations of genetic information. Paternal and maternal chromosomes line up randomly during synapsis , so each daughter cell is likely to receive an assortment of maternal and paternal chromosomes rather than a complete set from either.
Short fibers produced by cells during mitosis and meiosis . These radiate from the centriole (if it is present).
A chromosome which is unable to pair with its homologue and participate in homologus recombination during meiosis because it contains several inversion mutations (that is, has segments which have become flip-flopped).
A pair of homologous chromosome s which have joined together (are synaps ed) during prophase I and metaphase I of meiosis .

Afghanistan's Artifacts Under Attack
What the Taliban takeover means for the country's cultural heritage
Photo courtesy of De Agostini Picture Library
By JESSA GLASSMAN
After the resurgence of the Taliban in mid–August, Afghans around the country began to flee toward airports and borders in hope for an escape from the increasing human rights violations. The threat to human life, security, and freedom is immeasurable, and no freedom is too fundamental to be safe from the Taliban's reign. Alongside the dangers faced by the Afghan people is the danger threatening the Afghan legacy, which is ensconced in archeological wonders, sculptural masterpieces, and other studied artifacts. Under the Taliban regime, in all its violence, fundamentalism, and totalitarianism, there's an urgent and momentous danger facing the treasure trove of art and history that lives within Afghanistan's borders.
The National Museum of Afghanistan at Kabul/ Photography by Rafiq Maqbool for AP Press.
According to experts, there's already a likelihood that the Taliban will loot historical sites to generate revenue and desecrate idols as a symbolic gesture—revealing that its promise to preserve them was nothing more than a lofty, rhetoric–masked lie. In a time of much chaos, inconsistent security at museums, lucrative excavation sites, and storage facilities may open a window for both Taliban–affiliated and third–party thieves to snag, smuggle, and sell artifacts, or for looters to destroy them. Furthermore, bombs and other crossfire threaten the integrity of the precious objects stored throughout the country.
Due to the swiftness of the Taliban's takeover, museum staff and directors are scrambling to ensure precious collections stay safe. "We have great concerns for the safety of our staff and collections," said Fahim Rahimi, director of the National Museum of Afghanistan. Government sources have claimed that there is no safe way to move the museum's collection or any of the staff members out of the country due to the Taliban–controlled borders. With roughly 800,000 objects within its walls, the National Museum is full of the majority of Afghan stories, craft, and tradition through history that must be preserved through the tumult.

Taliban officials have claimed they will protect sites of important historical heritage from destruction or sale, but many are unconvinced that the organization will keep the promise because of its unfavorable record. In 2001, the Taliban blew up the world's tallest known Buddha statues, the Bamiyan Buddhas, which were carved with exquisite detail into the side of a cliff. The Taliban also destroyed artifacts from the National Museum in Kabul and pillaged ancient sites in a show of aggression and domination directed at pre–Islamic art. The Taliban government justified its actions by claiming the works were idols, making them "haram," or forbidden, according to Islamic doctrine. The lack of respect for the artifacts, which were crafted long before Islam even existed, is disrespectful to the country's history and legacy. It reveals that the Taliban is dangerously attempting to rewrite the past to fit its narrative, domineering history much like it is the country.
The destruction of these precious historical artifacts was condemned both nationally and internationally. Worldwide, people mourned the loss of the renowned emblems—distraught at the loss of historical culture and educational ancient artifacts. In the years since, the Afghan people have continued to hope for the protection of their birthright, which has been looted, destroyed, and disrespected over the last 40 years since the beginning of the civil war in 1978. It took years for conservators at the museum to repair and rebuild the sculptures, but the Buddhas are forever lost and the whereabouts of many valuable objects are still unknown. "We have a very glorious Islamic history that we are proud of, but we also have a rich pre–Islamic history [that] we must preserve," said Rahimi. "It is important our youth learn about this history, this diversity, and their heritage."

UNESCO has expressed concern over the potential damage to Afghanistan's national heritage. In a statement released earlier this month, the organization implored the Taliban to agree to safeguard historical treasures: "Any damage or loss of cultural heritage will only have adverse consequences on the prospects for lasting peace and humanitarian relief for the people of Afghanistan." Other organizations including the French Archeological Delegation in Afghanistan have commented on the uncertainty surrounding Afghanistan's artifacts. Cheryl Benard, the director of the Alliance for the Restoration of Cultural Heritage in D.C., also expressed worry that the situation was growing increasingly volatile, claiming that "If [the Taliban] have bad intentions … it will become obvious down the road."
Citizens worldwide must prioritize the crisis in Afghanistan. For art and history lovers especially, the potential loss of culture at stake should be another motivation to take action. The cultural heritage of Afghanistan is rich and should be respected, appreciated and shared with the world—not destroyed.


Cholesterol is soft fatty like substance that is essential for the human body. It helps in building cells and secretion of hormones. Too much of cholesterol increases the toxin levels in the body and therefore that is bad news. Cholesterol can be broadly be classified into three categories namely High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) or Good Cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol and very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) or Very Bad forms of Cholesterol. Cholesterol is transported in the blood stream by certain proteins, the combination of which is called Lipoprotein. Most of the cholesterol that our body requires is secreted from the liver, whereas the rest is met up from our food intake.
1 Garlic has been in use for the medicinal purpose even longer than it has been in use as food. Studies suggest that garlic lowers down the LDL and the Triglycerides of the body by a significant margin. Garlic is also used to cure dropsy, deafness, respiratory illness.
2 Arjuna is the herb that keeps the body and mind clear, spotless and free from all the impurities. The Arjuna means the White one, bright and clear. Arjuna is cardio protective, by means of its cleansing effect, that clears the walls of the artery, thereby reducing the deposition of bad Cholesterol on the wall of the artery and helps in strengthening the same. It works really well to keep a check on the cholesterol level of the body.
3 Maka or Maca is a plant that is generally found in the Andean plateaus of Peru. This herb is packed in carbohydrates, which energise the cell and increases libido for males. This herb is also said to lower down the toxin level of the blood and purifies the arteries of the LDL and is very useful for cholesterol treatment.
Hence these features make this product an ideal Cholesterol lowering supplement and Supplement for high triglycerides.

UX/UI Design - Aplana Inc.
At Aplana Software, while designing a software system, a mobile app or a website, we make sure they are convenient to use, easy to understand and engaging.
We achieve this through user experience design (UX) and its most powerful instrument - user interface design (UI).
Aplana provides all components of UX design: information architecture, interactions design, graphical design, content. Working on user experience improvement, we take into account multiple aspects of end-user interactions with graphic interface, whether it is a website, a mobile app, a desktop application etc.
The major tasks that Aplana UX designer solves are to set the goals – what a client wants to achieve, to select most suitable UX instruments to reach the goals, to develop a product that is most convenient and easy to use for the target audience, to analyze the level of end-user satisfaction and whether the product meets the client's expectations.
Aplana offers experienced UX designers, or UX architects, who, while designing an interface, will take into account all the details, from user environment and device type, to input methods and to the way information is displayed.
Aplana's specialists pay special attention to Information Architecture (IA), and the way the information is organized from end-user point of view, and not from technology or systems rules. IA defines how elements are positioned on a page or a screen, and how the pages are linked. IA is about application menus, navigation between them and their accurate and talented implementation.
User Interface Design is looked at as part of UX design, and has a more narrow approach to end-user experience, not taking into account user reactions to system interfaces. It deals with the look and feel of such elements as buttons, check boxes, selectors, etc., and with colors. The goal of UI is to help a user communicate with a web site or a software program.
A user interface developed according to all the rules increases the efficiency of resources and provides additional competitor advantages.
The leading companies around the globe trust Aplana UI/UX Design. Learn more about some public case studies here.

Lack of variation in voltage-gated sodium channels of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) exposed to neurotoxic algal blooms.
In coastal marine ecosystems, neurotoxins produced by harmful algal blooms (HABs) often result in large-scale mortality events of many marine species. Historical and frequent exposure to HABs therefore may provide a strong selective pressure for adaptations that result in toxin resistance. Neurotoxin resistance has independently evolved in a variety of terrestrial and marine species via mutations in genes encoding the toxin binding sites within the voltage-gated sodium channel gene complex. Accordingly, we tested the hypothesis that genetic variation in the putative binding site of brevetoxins in common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) explains differences among individuals or populations in resistance to harmful Karenia brevis blooms in the Gulf of Mexico. We found very little variation in the sodium channel exons encoding the putative brevetoxin binding site among bottlenose dolphins from central-west Florida and the Florida Panhandle. Our study included samples from several bottlenose dolphin mortality events associated with HABs, but we found no association between genetic variation and survival. We observed a significant effect of geographic region on genetic variation for some sodium channel isoforms, but this can be primarily explained by rare private alleles and is more likely a reflection of regional genetic differentiation than the cause of different levels of HAB resistance between regions. In contrast to many other previously studied neurotoxin-resistant species, we conclude that bottlenose dolphins have not evolved resistance to HABs via mutations in genes encoding the brevetoxin binding site on the voltage-gated sodium channels.

Top 20 Warner Bros. Animated Series From The 90s To Now
All, Eğlence
If you grew up a child of the 90's or beyond then odds are your a nostalgic fan of many of the following Warner Bros. Animated Series.
Warner Bros. Animation, Also known as Warner Animation Group (theatrically released films) is the Warner Bros. animation division, and a subsidiary of Time Warner. Their animation studio is the successor to Warner Bros Cartoons, the studio known for Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies from 1933 to 1969.
In their early days the original Warner Bros Cartoons Studio made a killing with their animated shorts. In 1969 they closed their studio due to rising costs and declining returns of animated short films.
After years of experimenting the Warner Bros moved into television animation production in 1986. The first original Warner Bros animated series was Tiny Toon Adventures in 1990.
Warner Bros animated series are mostly know either for slapstick comedy or DC superheroes, both of which I am a huge fan of.
I grew up on Looney Tunes as a small child, and I was around 8 years old when Tiny Toon Adventures came out. The Warner Bros. have been entertaining me my entire life, so its a huge honor to create this top 20 list.
Before we start I would like to note that this list is based off of my favorites from over the years. I have thoroughly watched every series on the list at some point in my life. I've watched at least 20 more of their series that didn't make the list also, so I'd say I'm a bit of an authority on this subject. Nobody can ever agree on top lists, so please let us know what you'd do differently in the comment section below the post.
#20. Batman: The Brave and the Bold
Image Source: DC Comics
When it comes to over saturation with comic book heroes, I think Batman is leading the race. Batman: The Brave and the Bold wasn't the most popular animated Batman series of all time, but it has a unique comedic style that gives it personality.
The show revolves around Batman teaming up with other well known DC characters to go on generally odd adventures. The series premiered in November, 2008, and ran to 2011.
#19. Baby Blues
Image Source: My Free Wallpapers
Baby Blues the animated series is based on the Baby Blues comic strip, and produced by Warner Bros.. The story line varies slightly from the comic strip to the animated series. It had a bit of a dry comedy approach, but was very entertaining.
Baby Blues had a pretty short run. The first eight episodes were originally aired on The WB Television Network from July, 2000 and ran until August, 2000, before it was cancelled. Five then unreleased episodes were later aired on Adult Swim in 2002. A thirteen episodes season was produced but never aired.
#18. Green Lantern: The Animated Series
Image Source: Green Lantern Wiki – Fandom
Green Lantern: The Animated Series is one I have mixed emotions about. I love the storytelling side of this show, but I'm not the biggest fan of the style of animation, or voice acting. Overall I think it was good enough to make #18 on my list.
This was another short lived series also. The series aired on Cartoon Network in March, 2012, and ran until March, 2013. The series was cancelled after one season due to poor toy sales from the live-action movie.
#17. Mad
Image Source: Dailymotion
Mad was a hilarious animated series that was based off of Mad Magazine. Every episode consisted of a collection of parodies mocking TV shows, movies, politics, gaming, and many other types of media. The shorts were animated with various types of animation like CGI, claymation, stopmotion, etc.
I collected Mad Magazines as a kid. I've always loved Mad's style of comedy. What Me Worry? I loved this show as well. It had a 3 year run premiering September, 2010, and ending in December, 2013.
#16. Xiaolin Showdown
Image Source: ice bear prefers to be off grid
When Xiaolin Showdown came out I was a full grown adult. Some series made this list for nostalgic reasons. Xiaolin Showdown is a show that I think deserves to be in the list because its awesome. Whats not to love about cute martial artist battling in the war of good vs evil. I thought it was a really cool cartoon.
The series originally aired on the Kids' WB block of programming on WB Network in 2003. It ran for 3 seasons consisting of 52 episodes, and ended in 2006. Reruns aired on Cartoon Network from 2006 to 2007. A direct sequel of the series named Xiaolin Chronicles began its long-term run on Disney XD in September, 2013.
#15. Mike Tyson's mysteries
Image Source: Bubbleblabber
It was kind of a shocker Mike Tyson's Mysteries is produced by Warner Bros. Animation. The series features a lot of adult humor, and found its perfect home on Adult Swim.
I'm a big fan of ole Iron Mike. I have been since I was a young lad playing Punch Out. His stock only went up for me when he bit a chunk of Hollyfield's ear off. In my opinion he was the greatest boxer of all time.
Mike Tyson's Mysteries is styled to mock classics like Hannah-barbera series, Scooby-Doo, The Funky Phantom, and other 70's animated series. It premiered in October, 2013, and is currently still in production.
#14. Static Shock
Image Source: DC Comics News
Static Shock was a series that wasn't as well received as other series based on DC superheroes. I found him to be a cool unconventional character, and the show was very entertaining. I think I especially liked it because the style reminded me of Batman Beyond.
The show was geared more towards a teenage audience, so the comic book story line was watered down a bit. Overall I still think it was an animated series adult fans of the DC Universe could still get into. It premiered on the WB Television Network's Kids' WB! block in September, 2000. Running for four seasons, with 52 half-hour episodes, the series ended in May, 2004.
#13. Tiny Toon Adventures
Image Source: Crazy Frankenstein
Tiny Toon Adventures is the senior series on the list. Its definitely one that has earned its place due to nostalgic love. Watching it now as an adult, its a bit to childish. When I was 8 years old it was one of my after school favorites.
Another reason I think this show deserves credit is that it opened the door for other comedic cartoons like Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Freakazoid, etc. Sadly Tiny Toon Adventures had a short lived run premiering in September, 1990, and ended production in 1992.
#12. Freakazoid
Image Source: Wallpaper Cave
Freakazoid was one of many of the excellent comedy based cartoons that came out of the 90s Animation Renaissance. The series was the third produced in collaboration with Steven Spielberg and WB Animation.
The main character, Freakazoid, was an off the wall insane superhero-ish oddball that tended to get overly annoying at times. It was one of the first to debut on the new Kids' WB Saturday morning block of The WB. The series consisted of 2 seasons that produced 24 episodes. The show ran from September, 1995 to June, 1997.
#11. Teen Titans Go!

Teen Titans Go! is a comedic spin-off based around the more serious animated series that came before it that was named Teen Titans. This version of Teen Titans was designed with a completely different style of animation. It has no continuity to the original series or any other media in the DC Comics franchise, except for some small details. Many of the voice actors carried over from the original series, and the show is chocked full of DC cameo appearances.
The show has received a warm welcome by many, and is deeply despised by some fans of the original animated series. It is currently still in production, and still on Cartoon Network. Teen Titans Go! debuted in September, 2013.
#10. The Legion of Superheroes

The Legion of Superheroes is one on the list that not all of our readers may be familiar with. Its about young superman's adventures in the future with the classic futuristic team known as The Legion of Superheroes. While this version of The Legion may hold onto many traditions from the original characters, it is its own stand alone version.
The Legion of Superheroes is an amazing animated series that often gets overlooked. Universal Direction highly recommends it to all fans of the DC Animated Universe. The series consisted of 2 seasons that produced 26 episodes. It debuted in September, 2006, and ended in April 2008.
#9. Taz-Mania

Taz puts the "T" in Tasmania! Taz-Mania was another slapstick animated comedy series that was very similar to Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs. Its star Taz, also known as The Tasmanian Devil, and his unique Tasmanian family. The series ran for 4 seasons that produced 65 episodes, that consisted of 102 segments. It debuted in September, 1991, and lived on until May, 1995.
#8. Young Justice

Young Justice is not a direct adaptation of the comic series, but rather an adaptation of the entire DC Universe with a focus on the young team of superheroes. In the first season the show focused more on character development. When the series returned for its second season the intensity level dramatically increased. It debuted in November, 2010, and is still going.
#7. Batman: The Animated Series

Batman: The Animated series is the senior superhero based series on the list, and still the most popular animated Batman series to date. Its actually considered one of the most popular animated series of all times after The Simpsons. Out of the 85 episodes the series produced, surprisingly it only had a 3 year life span, starting in September, 1992, and running until September, 1995.
#6. Thundercats
Image Source: Thundercats.ws
The newer version of Thundercats may be another animated series some of you are unfamiliar with, while others may be surprised it made it down to my #6. I think that this version of the Thundercats might possibly have the greatest storytelling in all of animated series history. If the series is ever continued I think it could go on to be one of the greatest action series of all time. Its one season consisted of 26 amazing episodes, and ran from July, 2011, and ended June, 2012.
#5. Batman Beyond
Image Source: Christian Entertainment Reviews
Batman Beyond is definitely one of everybody's favorite action series on the list. I'm sure some of you would even go with it as your #1 pick. Terry McGinnis should need no introduction here. Batman Beyond has a lifespan of 3 seasons that consisted of 52 episodes. It ran from January, 1999, to December, 2011.
#4. Pinky and the Brain

What are we going to do today Brain. Try to take over Google search with the best top 20 Warner Bros. Animated Series list ever created. Pinky and the Brain is another one that some of you may have chosen as your favorite. Definitely one of the greatest comedy based animated series ever created. The show ran for 4 seasons that produced 65 episodes, beginning in September, 1995, and ending in November, 1998.
#3. Superman: The Animated Series
Image Source: Crisis on Infinite Thoughts
Some of you were probably wondering why Superman: The Animated Series hasn't shown up on the list yet. Your probably really surprised I chose it over Batman: The Animated Series. Personally I think the shows were nearly identical. I'm just way more of a Superman fan than Batman. The series ran for 4 seasons that produced 65 episodes. It ran from September, 1995, ending in November, 1998.
#2. Animaniacs
Image Source: Animaniacs Wiki – Fandom
Oh yeah! We've made it down to #2, and I think the Warner Brothers and their sister Dot are well deserved of this position. WB Animation is known for doing 2 things great when it comes to animation, action and comedy. The Animaniacs definitely are my #1 pick in the comedy department. This series had one of my favorite casts of wacky characters of all time. The Animaniacs ran for 4 season that produced 65 zany episodes. The series premiered in September, 1995, and made it until November, 1998.
#1. Justice League
Image Source: Screen Rant
My #1 choice of all is hands down Justice League. I know Justice League Unlimited is considered its own series, but I've always seen it as one show. Its not just my favorite on the list, but its my favorite action based animated series in history. The original Justice League series ran for 2 seasons that consisted of 52 episodes. It aired in November, 2001, and ended in May, 2004.

Home » Aura Of Genesis
Aura of Genesis (AHR 31512-10) was born on April 5th, 2010.
Aura's sire is Arno van het Nieshof , who is a former 2-time AHR 'National Champion Stallion', a former 4-time AHR 'Stallion of the Year' and the only AHR 'Supreme Status' stallion in North America based on the scores of his offspring through the AHR Inspection and Classification system. Arno has sired too many AHR National Champions and AHR Futurity Champions to even detail but a complete list can be found on his webpage organized according to year.
Aura's dam is Amina NTF. Amina is sired by Afghan III who himself is an exceptional producer of broodmares. Amina's dam is sired by the world-reknown stallion, Winterstein. Amina has had many great offspring, including numerous sale toppers and show champions. She has also produced numerous sons that have been AHR approved breeding stallions.
Aura's 2009 half-sister out of Alfa of Genesis and Amina NTF is Awe Struck of Genesis .
Aura has a real 'aura' about her presence… She has a pure, striking beauty makes it hard for you to take your eyes off of her—she is an instant favorite of visitors to the farm. She has a rich, deep red color with a kind eye and a gentle disposition. She is tall and elegant with clean, smooth bones and she moves with great athleticism and power.
Aura made her show ring debut at the 2010 AHR Futurity. She was 2nd place in the Junior Weanling Filly class and went on to be named 'Reserve Junior Champion Weanling'. Aura later went on to win 3rd place out of over 20 entries in the competitive AHR S.I.P. pleasure class.
In 2011, Aura was an integral part of the Genesis Farm show string. She won 1st place in the 'Yearling Filly' class at the Buckeye Haflinger Show, going on to be named 'Champion Yearling'. At the 2011 AHR National Show, Aura was again the 1st place 'Yearling Filly'. She went on to be named 'Junior National Champion Filly' (as a side note: her half-sister, Awe Struck of Genesis, was the 'Reserve Junior National Champion Filly' so winning is obviously in the genetic makeup). Eventually, Aura was awarded the title of 'Reserve National Champion Mare'. This is a big title for such a young lady to have already coveted! As if those merits weren't enough, with her big sister, Awe Struck, by her side, this dynamic duo won the National 'Produce of Dam' class on their mother's behalf. Aura also represented her sire, Arno, in our 1st place National 'Get of Sire' entry, helping to secure this award for Arno for the 6th consecutive year! WOW! Finally, Aura attended the 2011 AHR Futurity. There, she won 1st place in the 'Yearling Filly' class and went on to be named 'Champion Yearling'.
In July 2012, Aura was inspected through the AHR Inspection and Classification system. She scored 79 points that day, which meant that she became high-silver classified and was the highest scoring horse of the year. That same weekend, she attended the American Warmblood Society's Inspection. She performed beautifully in the halter and the free-schooling portion of the event and she went on to be awarded 78.85 points, which earned her the GOLD MEDAL of the inspection! This was a very big deal for a haflinger to score above all of the other 'warmbloods' at the event and a real-eye opener for the other horse owners in attendance. In addition, Aura's stable-mate, Faith by Fire was awarded the SILVER medal at the inspection site that same day. Aura became the highest scoring haflinger ever under the AWS Inspections. In addition, her score that day gave her the 2nd highest score in the United States for 2-year-olds in 2012!
In September 2012, Aura attended the AHR National Show in Springfield, OH. She was the 1st place 2-year-old filly and went on to be named the 2012 Junior National Champion Mare (for the 2nd consecutive year). Then the real competition got underway—Aura's stable-mate and half-sister, Faith by Fire, was the 2012 Senior National Champion Mare so the two sisters went head-to-head to compete for the title of 2012 National Champion Mare (Michele was handling Fire and John had Aura). In the end, Fire (Michele!!) took the National Champion Mare title but incredibly, for a 2-year-old, Aura secured her second 'Reserve National Champion Mare' title! Aura (alongside her sister Allure of Genesis) won the National 'Produce of Dam' class on behalf of their mother for the second consecutive year! Aura also represented her sire, Arno, in our 1st place National 'Get of Sire' entry, helping to secure this award for Arno for the 7th consecutive year! She also represented Genesis Farm in the 'Best Three Haflingers Owned by Exhibitor', allowing Genesis Farm to win this title for the 7th consecutive year as well!
In 2013, Aura continued her winning ways. She was the 1st place 3-year-old filly at the 2013 AHR National Show. She then beat out the field of older mares to be named the AHR 'Senior National Champion Mare' (following 2-consecutive years of being the 'Junior National Champion Mare') and then eventually became the 2013 AHR 'National Champion Mare'. If that was not enough, this stunning 3-year-old became the 2013 AHR 'National Best of Show'!! WOW!!!
We expect Aura will continue to be a great contender in the show ring for years to come—we love everything about this filly!


Wireless LAN vendor Trapeze says its network is more resilient than Cisco's - and it has a report to prove it.
Comparing wireless LAN architectues has become important, because they are different. As well as the big variations between, say, a Meru, and a Ruckus, there are variations within the mainstream wireless LAN controller makers. But we don't always get to see those differences.
All too often, the comparisons come in test reports that are sponsored by one vendor or another - that's inevitable. Publications rarely have the budget to do exhaustive group tests - and when they do, as Network World found, those tests are sabotaged by big vendors pulling out.
So how do we find out whose WLAN is best? Those vendors pick a subject they can win on, choose a test house, and pay to have a test done. In this case, Trapeze went to Tolly Group and had its resilient Controller Cluster tested against a comparable Cisco resilient WLAN controller. Both had a backup controller - in Cisco's case it was on standby, while in the Trapeze set-up the controllers are all in use, load-balancing.
In the event of a failure, the Trapeze wireless LAN comes up immediately (less than 0.1 of a second), while the Cisco LAN stayed out for eight or nine seconds, according to Tolly's results. This makes sense as the Trapeze system has more intelligence distributed to the access points.
Where does ths get us? This is exactly the result we'd have suspected, as the Cisco WLAN kit is old and hasn't had the continuous upgrades that the Trapeze system has. Cisco, of course, can contest the result; the Trapeze system was installed and monitored by Trapeze staff, while no Cisco engineers helped with the project - because Cisco refused to send any.
So, treat the result with care - but gather as much of this kind of material as you can when you are specifying a system, and task the salespeople (especially Cisco salespeople) with it.


In the last decade I have fallen in love with photography while doing The Crossley ID Guides and The Shorebird Guide. The learning curve has been massive, in part because of the style of books I make and the ever changing advances in digital technology. Here is some of the equipment I use and some I also recommend. The links to Amazon will provide you with more information.
If you have a birder in your life, here are some clues on gifts you might like to give them – once they have The Crossley ID Guides OF COURSE!!!!.

Q: Prove $x^n$ is not uniformly convergent This question pertains to the sequence of functions $f_n(x)=x^n$ on the interval $[0,1]$.
It can be shown this sequence of functions ${f_n}$ converges point-wise to the limit $f$ where $f$ is defined by $f(x)=0$ on $[0,1)$ and $f(x)=1$ at $x=1$.
However, this sequence of functions ${f_n}$ does not converge uniformly to $f$. One way to prove this (which I have seen) is via a theorem which proves that if a sequence of functions ${f_n}$ converges uniformly to $f$, then $f$ is continuous. And clearly it is not the case that $f$ is continuous in our example, so our convergence is not uniform.
However, I have seen another test for uniform convergence on an interval $s$. That is that:
$${\rm lim}\ [{\rm sup}\ \{ |  f_n(x)-f(x)|\ :\ x\in S\ \}]=0$$
This conception of uniform convergence can be found in my Walter Rudin analysis book for example. My question is, how can we use this definition of uniform convergence to show $x^n$ is not uniformly convergent?
I am having trouble seeing how to apply this definition to this example, especially since the limit $f$ is defined piece-wise. But I know I need to find the sup of the difference between $f_n$ and $f$ over the interval $[0,1]$ (how do I find this sup?). And then once I find it, I need to take the limit as $n\to\infty$ and show it does not equal $0$.
Thank you for your help!

A: I think the best way to see that this function doesn't converge uniformly on $x \in [0,1]$ is to note that the limiting function is discontinuous for $x \in [0,a], a<1$ and $x=1$:
$$
\lim_{n \to \infty} f_n(x)= \left\{
\begin{array}{rl}
0 &x \in [0,a]\\
1 & x=1
\end{array}
\right.
$$

A: It all boils down to proving that $$\sup_{x\in [0,1]}|x^n-\chi_{\{1\}}|=\sup_{x\in [0,1)}|x^n-0|=\sup_{x\in[0,1)}x^n=1\not\to 0$$

A: Let's recall the definition of uniform convergence:
$$
f_n (x) \rightarrow f(x) \text{ uniformly on $\Delta$ if:} \\
 \forall \epsilon > 0, \exists N_{\epsilon} \in \mathbb{N} : \forall n \geq N_{\epsilon} \implies |f(x) - f_n(x)| < \epsilon, \forall x \in \Delta
\tag{1}
$$
In order to show that the convergence is non-uniform, we can either apply the Weierstrass M-test, or we can consider the converse of (1), by picking some $x_0$ in a clever way such that we can bound $|f(x) - f_n(x_0)|$ below by a positive constant (or in practice, we often choose $x_0$ such that $|f(x) - f_n(x_0)|$ is constant)
In this case, we can take $x_0 = a^{\frac{1}{n}}$, where $a \in [0, 1)$ and we can clearly see that the pointwise limit $x^n$ is 0
Thus $|f(x) - f_n(x)| = (a^{\frac{1}{n}})^{n}= a$, which does not converge to 0 (i.e. this difference is constant, thus can't be made arbitrarily small), hence the convergence is non-uniform.

Q: How do you apply a logarithmic scale to the data in a pyplot imshow heatmap I'm trying to create a plot of my data that is in two dimensions, each ranging over multiple orders of magnitude. For this reason, I wanted to plot the data in my 2d histogram with logarithmic axes, however, I'm yet unable to get the axis scale and plot scale to match up.
The plots below were achieved using this code:
heatmap, X, Y = np.histogram2d(x, y, bins=N)

extent = [X[0], X[-1], Y[0], Y[-1]]

plt.clf()
plt.imshow(heatmap.T, extent=extent, origin='lower', aspect='auto')
plt.colorbar()
plt.xscale('log')   # This line was not used to create the first image
plt.yscale('log')   # This line was not used to create the first image
plt.show()

The two outputs currently look like this:

As you can see the first uses a normal scale for the axes but has the correct data scaling, and the second has the properly scaled axes (using lines 8,9 of the code above) but the data is then scaled incorrectly.
How would you achieve the effect that I'm looking for, of combining the plot of the first one with the axes of the second?
I would also like to note that I found this post that seemingly answers this problem, however, when I used this method, the colorbar normalizes to between 0 and 1 which I don't want, the histogram is upside down along with the plot being shrunk vertically, and the axis labels are wrong. (Some of the axis labels repeat as shown below)
New code required for Colorbar:
fig.colorbar(ScalarMappable(norm=None, cmap='viridis'))

This all seems so unbelievably complex, I just want to put the visual from the first plot onto the axes of the second plat. Is there a way to do this?


Lebas, Louis-Hippolyte (1782–1867). French architect trained by A. -L. -T. Vaudoyer and Percier and Fontaine. He designed Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, Paris (1823–36), on a basilican plan with a noble portico of the Corinthian Order and an interior entirely Early Christian in style, multi-coloured. The clerestorey is carried on an Ionic colonnade, the ceiling is coffered, and the east end is apsidal. In 1825 he won the competition to design a model prison on the site of La Roquette, Paris, in the form of a huge hexagon with six wings linked to the central chapel (destroyed 1973). Among his pupils were the Labrouste brothers and Charles Garnier.
