Holly and David then returned to the U.S. In the same year, the Lovely Eggs released Have You Ever Heard Lovely Eggs, a 7" EP that was available through Cherryade Records, which would also go on to release the band's debut album, If You Were a Fruit, in 2009. Their blend of quirky lyrics and distorted grunge guitar was soon recognized with radio airplay from the likes of Huw Stevens and Steve Lamacq before, in 2008, the duo was invited to BBC Radio 6 to record a live session for Marc Riley. Although based in their hometown of Lancaster, England, the Lovely Eggs played their first show in New York before returning to the U.K., where they pressed a limited run of their first recording, Fried Egg CD. Blackwell, a member of psychedelic drone outfit Three Dimensional Tanx, was the obvious choice for Ross to work with, not only because he shared Ross' taste for slightly warped indie but because the two happened to be married. Following the breakup of all-girl punk band Angelica, who Ross fronted between 19, the singer/guitarist was keen to get back into the swing of writing and recording music. Indie rockers the Lovely Eggs were formed in 2006 by Holly Ross and David Blackwell.

The Constitution of Afghanistan privileges Hanafi jurisprudence as a residual source of law in the absence of explicit legislation or other constitutional provisions. With respect to family and personal law issues, Hanafi fiqh predominates in Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, and, for significant minority populations, in Iran and Malaysia. ![]() Officially adopted by the Ottoman Turks in the 16th century and codified in the Mejelle, Hanafi jurisprudence remains the most influential school in the world today and is used in Jordan, Lebanon, Pakistan, Syria, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. Hanafi doctrines have always been considered among the most flexible and liberal in Islamic law, including in the areas of criminal law, treatment of non-Muslims, individual freedoms, marriage and guardianship, and ownership and use of property. ![]() He also favored the use of istihsan, commonly known as juristic preference, which, in some circumstances, can operate to ameliorate harsh consequences that might otherwise flow from strict legal reasoning, and which is believed by some to be based on principles of equity as interpreted by the jurist. While the Hanafi madhab, along with other Sunni schools, utilizes qiyas (analogical reasoning) as a method of legal reasoning, Abu Hanifa himself relied extensively on ra’y (personal opinion).

First, it investigates a set of biology-based innovative CI algorithms which can enable a high throughput under extract from the insights of data. To follow this trend, in this article, we intend to take an algorithmic point of view, i.e., applying intelligent algorithms to data, with an emphasis on the biology-based innovative computational intelligence (CI) methods. Under these circumstances, data mining, whose main purpose is to extract value from mountains of datasets, is drawing a lot of people’s attention. During the past few years, there is a great interest both in the commercial and in the research communities around big data. Generally speaking, big data can be defined as large pools of data which comes from digital pictures, videos, intelligent sensors, posts to social media sites, purchase transaction records, cell phone global positioning system signals, to name a few. Despite their enormous supporting potential, the quantities of data generated from multiple sensor is huge (i.e., big data), because they involved everywhere, such as smart home, health-based wearable devices, and assistive robots. Sensor technologies are crucial in ambient assisted living system because they can observe, measure, and detect users’ daily activities, in the meanwhile issue warnings when parameters exceed particular thresholds. In this chapter, an enhanced version of firefly algorithm, which is based on the social behaviours of fireflies while communicating with each other, to prevent it from confinement in a local optima is presented in order to obtain the optimum design of various types of steel constructions under code provisions that such problem is categorized as discrete nonlinear programming problem. To this end, metaheuristics have been effectively utilized as an instrument of achieving the optimal structural designs. The traditional gradient-based mathematical methods are not sufficient to solve those tedious design problems. Hence, a variety of structural optimization methods have been developed to solve these complex engineering problems. So then, the steel structural engineers perform minimum weighted designs in order to select the optimum one among the feasible designs within the provision limits. Thus, not only the construction is to be designed as safely carrying the calculated design loads limited to the structural provisions, but also the minimum level of material is to be used. So, the design of the structures as to be safe and at the same time economical is the main aim of the designers. The philosophy of structural engineering is the consideration of safety, economy and aesthetics in fundamentally meeting the requirement for sheltering. In order to speed up taxonomic identification, DNA barcoding is now been considered as an alternative tool for insect biodiversity identification in India and the World. With the recent advancement in science, the new method called DNA barcoding, a tool of DNA-based taxonomy is used to identify known and unknown species on the basis of the pattern of nucleotide arrangement in a fragment of DNA from target species. Several biodiversity indices were used to study the species richness in the area. ![]() So, there is increasing need for taxonomic information and services in our society, particularly for biodiversity assessment for attaining an environmentally sustainable future. Insect biodiversity has a significant role in the maintenance of the ecosystem. Insects are becoming extinct because of habitat loss, over-exploitation, pollution, overpopulation and the threat of global climatic changes. The diversity of insects is greater in the northeastern states, the Western Ghats and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and these areas also have a high level of endemism. ![]() Current estimate shows that out of nearly 63,760 species of insect species in India, about 21,166 species are endemic. ![]() India is one among the twelve mega biodiversity countries of the world, constitute nearly 7% of the world insect fauna. Insects are the world's most diverse group of animals on Earth, in terms of both taxonomic diversity and ecological function accounting 75 % of the known species of animals.Approximately 30 million species are found worldwide, of which about 1.4 million have been briefly described.Less than 3% of all species of insects have aquatic stages in some freshwater biotopes. ![]() ![]() Key things that are unique in this repository that allows you to deploy Ghost: On your local machine, clone the dokku-ghost repository and cd into it: $ git clone $ cd dokku-ghost Here, we will be setting up the port and URL to access Ghost through: $ dokku -no-restart config:set blog \ url= \ server_host=0.0.0.0 \ server_port=5000 3. $ dokku config:get blog DATABASE_URL on the above, you will need to set the following: $ dokku config:set -no-restart blog \ database_connection_user=mariadb \ database_connection_password=abcdefg \ database_connection_host=dokku-mariadb-blog-database \ database_connection_database=blog-database Retrieve the login details through the DATABASE_URL environment variable.

Seeds were sown in the spring, the fields were tended and watered until the crops were ready to be harvested, often many months later. In its infancy, agriculture was a slow, cyclical process. This makes some sense: people with a surplus of food can afford to experiment on new technologies, while those who are hungry are going to expend all of their energy on tried and true methods of gaining sustenance. Interestingly, it appears that agriculture was not invented by starving hunter-gatherers desperately seeking new sources of sustenance instead, evidence suggests that the earliest agriculturalists were successful and wealthy hunter-gatherers who probably had plenty of food already on hand. ![]() The earliest evidence of agriculture thus far discovered dates back to the end of the last ice age, approximately 11,000 years ago. Crop cultivation probably developed independently in numerous places. All civilizations begin the game with this technology by default.Īllows Workers to construct Farms, which are vital for increasing the Food output of map tiles.Īgriculture is the production of plants and animals, most notably for food, but also for clothing, shelter, medicine, recreation, and other diverse uses. This in turn makes possible the whole concept of a group of humans establishing themselves in one permanent location and thriving there, instead of living as hunter-gatherers in constant movement, searching for food. The basis of all civilized life, Agriculture allows working the land for food. ![]() The farmers therefore are the founders of human civilization" "Where tillage begins, other arts follow. “And now to win!” said the little bowman, as he drove the war-elephant into the fight. He did not stop until he reached his home. You need not be afraid I am here.”īut the big man was so afraid that he slipped down off the war-elephant’s back, and ran back into the city. “If you fall off now, you will be killed. At the first beat of the drums, the big man shook with fear. Then the war-elephant, at the head of the army, went out of the city. But the little bowman knew that the big man could not shoot, so he took his bow and seated himself behind the big man. The big man was armed and mounted on a war-elephant. Do you think there’s no bowman but yourself?” Many other harsh and unkind things did he say to the little man.īut a few days later a king from a far country marched upon the city and sent a message to its king saying, “Give up your country, or do battle.” The king and all the people praised the big man, and so one day the big man said to the little man: “I can get on without you. ![]() When they both went back to the king, he gave a bag of money to the big man. The big man and the little man went to the road, and soon the little man shot the buffalo. The king told the big man to go and kill that buffalo. ![]() ![]() The king was glad to be rid of the tiger, and gave the big man rich gifts and praised him.Īnother day word came that a buffalo was running up and down a certain road. They went into the forest together, and soon the little bowman shot the tiger. The big man told the little bowman what the king said. The king sent for the big man and told him to kill that tiger. Now in those days there was a tiger in the forest who had carried off many people. So the big man and the little bowman joined the king’s army. “I will take you and your page,” said the king. “A thousand pieces a month for me and my page, O King,” said the big man. “Who is the little man with you?” asked the king. The king looked at the big man and asked, “What brings you here?” “I want to be in your army,” said the big man. Both the big man and the little man went in and, bowing, stood before the king. The king sent for the bowman to come before him. By and by they came to the gates of the palace, and sent word to the king that a wonderful bowman was there. So together they set out to go to the king. “Yes, I will go with you,” said the big man. Will you come with me and do as I tell you?” asked the little bowman. In this way we shall both of us earn a good living. I will do the work that you are given to do, and we will divide the pay. He will take you because you are big and strong. I want you to ask the king to let you join the army. “There is in this whole country no such bowman as I am but no king would let me join his army because I am such a little man. “I do this work because I can earn a living in no other way,” said the big man. One day he saw a big, strong man digging a ditch “What makes a fine big man like you do such work?” asked the little man. I must find some great big man who will take me as his page, and ask the king to take us.” So the little bowman went about the city looking for a big man. ![]() This crooked little man said to himself: “If I go to the king and ask him to let me join his army, he’s sure to ask what a little man like me is good for. Once upon a time there was a little man with a crooked back who was called the wise little bowman because he used his bow and arrow so very well.

It is much more acceptable to be “overweight” when one is old than when one is young. In addition, implicit in this context is that the location of the excess fat plays a role, as does a person’s age. This is not only due to societal concepts of an ideal degree of fatness, but also due to thinness being a goal promulgated by the fashion industry and reinforced by commercial advertising.Īt a societal level, although poorly described or quantified, there also is a degree of fatness beyond which a person generally is considered to be unacceptably fat that is, there is an ill-defined threshold at which a person is labeled as being “fat” or “obese.” However, it is based on the “I can’t define it but I know it when I see it” concept. For example, currently in Western societies, young women are often concerned about their body image, and most consider themselves to be too fat, even though they are well within population-based references. As indicated above, this often depends on a general concept of societal norms or is due to peer pressure. That is, each individual has his/her own perception of how fat he/she should be. Traditionally, a person’s fatness has been defined at a personal level as well as at a societal level. This concept has moderated but still influences women’s views of beauty and eating habits at present. The result was that thinness was not only desirable but also required. However, the 1920s Flapper era introduced abbreviated and revealing dresses. Before the 1920s, “full figured” women were considered to be desirable as long as the distribution was hourglass in type. More recently, the degree of rotundity considered ideal also has varied considerably in the general population, but particularly for young women. However, it may have depended on the availability of a reliable food supply and the effort required in obtaining it. Why the degree of fatness has varied in different cultures is not clear. This also is the case in artifacts from other cultures in the Middle East in that era. In contrast, images of obese people, males or females, are never exhibited in ancient Egyptian funerary wall paintings, stellae, or statues suggesting that fatness was not considered to be a desirable trait there. This suggests being “full figured” was highly desirable at least for women. It is clearly manifested by paleolithic statuettes of exceedingly plump women. All of these issues are discussed in this brief review.īody fatness has been an important psychosocial issue among humans for millennia. Lastly, current evidence indicates there is a wide range of BMIs over which mortality risk is modest, and this is age related. The latter is related not only to untoward health issues but to social issues as well. Importantly, the BMI also does not capture information on the mass of fat in different body sites. However, it is increasingly clear that BMI is a rather poor indicator of percent of body fat. In addition, it is widely used in determining public health policies.The BMI has been useful in population-based studies by virtue of its wide acceptance in defining specific categories of body mass as a health issue. It also is widely used as a risk factor for the development of or the prevalence of several health issues. The common interpretation is that it represents an index of an individual’s fatness. The body mass index (BMI) is the metric currently in use for defining anthropometric height/weight characteristics in adults and for classifying (categorizing) them into groups. ![]() After more hours of messing around found if I make a new MS outlook email when I signed out and asked to use my original I been using for decades, decided to just make a new MS outlook email, and it worked, and after I signed out of the new email, and signed back in with my original one, it loaded up and played NP even had the save from when my son and I was playing it through my laptop browser while we waited for my pc to install it.

I actually got it to run yesterday and was sooooo happy, thought I figured it out. but do then like bioshock and wrote above.

The VERY moment I click on the icon or full size (BioShock) out of window mode and into full screen, my game goes away and locks up, windows explorer flashes, all desktop and taskbar icons go away and come back, but now either of the games, they have icons in the taskbar, but do nothing but allow me to right click and close windows and for the most part it just quits. The problem I been having so far with Forza 5 is the game would start, but start in the background, with a tab in the taskbar showing the game is running, and same really goes or Bioshock, starts the same way, in the background. ![]() I was just about to say f it all to windows 11, for I been going nuts since getting my tv in here so I can read text again, and playing some games.
