This script provides the base setup for state lunatic effects. These effects will occur under certain conditions, which can include when a state is applied, erased, leaves naturally, before taking damage, after taking damage, at the start of a turn, while an action finishes, and at the end of a turn.
Lunatic States allow allow states to trigger various scripted functions throughout certain set periods of times or when certain conditions trigger. These effects can occur when a state is applied, when a state is erased, when a state leaves naturally, before damage is taken, after damage is taken, at the beginning of a turn, while the turn is occuring, and at the closing of a turn. These effects are separated by these eight different notetags.
 - Occurs when state is applied.
 - Occurs when state is removed.
 - Occurs when state timer hits 0.
 - Occurs before taking damage.
 - Occurs after taking damage.
 - Occurs at the start of each turn.
 - Occurs after performing an action.
 - Occurs at the end of a turn.
If multiple tags of the same type are used in the same skill/item's notebox, then the effects will occur in that order. Replace "string" in the tags with the appropriate flag for the method below to search for. Note that unlike the previous versions, these are all upcase.
Should you choose to use multiple lunatic effects for a single state, you may use these notetags in place of the ones shown above.
 - Punishment Package
 - Undead HP, Undead MP, Backfire Physical, Backfire Magical, Stat Slip Damage, Stat Slip Healing, Drain HP, Drain MP
 - Protection Package
 - Damage Cut, Damage Barrier, Damage Shelter, Damage Block, Heal Boost, Heal Bonus, Persist
Use your Lunatic Effects wisely!
And that's all, folks!

 2. Is it possible to deal unhealable damage? For example, by decreasing HP as well as maximum HP at the same time by the amount of damage dealt? I mean, you can have MORE damage, you can have FAST damage and you can have CERTAIN damage with your skill, but what about UNHEALABLE damage? :)
 3. I have a question. There are states that are removed when the battle ends. Does the "erase" effect covers that too?
 From my experiments the answer should be "No" as the effect I want doesn't gappen after the battle ends (though it works fine if the state is removed during battle), but maybe I'm just doing something wrong…?
 - Well, no idea.
 The "erase effect" still doesn't work upon battle end for some reason, even though I fail to detect anything wrong with the script…
 - That's because when they're removed at the end of battle, it's no longer considered in-battle. Lunatic State effects only occur in-battle.

 6. I'm sorry that I need to ask this and it might be a stupid question, but for some reason I don't really understand what I need to replace "string" with. If I want to make a "death sentence"-state for example, the owner of the state should die after a set number of turns, which could be achieved by using the ""-command. The problem that I have is that even after hours of trial and error, I still don't know what I need to write instead of "string" in that case. Is there a list of commands that I didn't see for some reason or does the sentence "but the users must be able to add them in themselves" mean that I need to edit the script with my own commands? Maybe I'm just thinking too complicated…
 I would really appreciate any kind of help, since I'm kind of desperate trying to find out what to do.
 7. Well i want to increase a variable x while being attacked if stat is on.
 thougth it would work like this :
 But basicly nothing happens. what is wrong about the string? When i do "$game_variables[x] += 1" to an events comment it counts the variable correctly.
 8. Does anyone know how to make a state deal a precise amount of elemental damage? I hate working with the health slip % and want to make it a static number.
 9. I think I'm pretty much at the level where I can use the Lunatic stuff now. =O Looking at what you can do with this, I'm just so happy to see this now.
 Oh Yanfly, how I love your specific preferences for setting up scripts to make battles more unique and interesting instead of just visually appealing~ <3
 10. Is it possible to use this script to create doom and auto-life states using a script call in the notetag? I'm no scripter by any means, but here is an example of what I was thinking.
 add_new_state(state ID)
 Something like this would be placed in the note box of the doom state so that after the set number of turns were up and the doom state is removed, it will then add the state associated to state ID.
 remove_state(state ID)
 actor_MHP = x%
 Something like this could be used to make an auto-life state. The character has auto-life on, when said character dies the state is erased which triggers the specified state (which would be Death) to be removed, and the player to have x% of max HP restored.
 As I said, I am definitely not a scripter, but if there is a way to do this, or some other method in existence, could you help me get on the right track? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 I have looked into the add-ons developed by pillanious, but they do not work.
 11. Sorry for the double post. My examples were supposed to contain the "" tags like this:
 add_new_state(state ID)
 remove_state(state ID)
 actor_MHP = x%
 12. I'm having the same problem as Skywad for playing an animation for the state, have tried both
 _USER_ = 7
 could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
 13. Thanks for your marvelous posting! I quite enjoyed reading it,
 your great posts, have a nice weekend!
 14. Could one use this script to create a two-turn skill, like Jump from the Final Fantasy games or Dig and Fly from Pokemon?
 Eg: use the skill Jump, which adds the Airborne state to the user, and when the user leaves the state on the next turn, they automatically attack an enemy.
 Is this doable?
 15. I'm thinking it should be possible to set up an entire party as the state origin (so for example an attacker could inflict an HP drain that heals her entire party instead of just herself) but I'm unsure how to implement it. I'm looking in
 # new method: change_state_origin
 # new method: state_origin?
 and pretty certain that is where it would need to be added (plus I made up a new Party Drain effect in the Punishment Package, "when /PDRAIN HP").
 ATM it works, but still only heals the caster.
 - _USER_: I have been working on something similar, the concept being this:
 An actor has a shield which lets you, when attacked, have a chance at activating an ability, which would restore every party member's HP by a small amount. I have tried with equipment that, when attacked, has a chance to cast a state on the targeted actor themself, but I can't seem to be getting those to work. I'm using the Passive States script in conjunction with Lunatic States for this:
 if c>=10
 I couldn't be assed to write it all in one line, and I don't know how Ruby's Syntax works THAT well. Can anyone with experience tell me what I am doing wrong, with this effect? ( … The state_id there is purely coincidential. I swear. D: )
 16. Yanfly, I don't know if you still monitor this, but there are two major bugs in this script that you might want to be aware of:
 1) On line 505 you have for state in states, then it calls the extension, which then also has a for state in states! What this does is it loops through the states n^2 times, where n is the number of states present! This causes weird effects with your other scripts, which you can

Canadian Centre of Agri-food Research in Health and Medicine (CCARM)
The Canadian Centre of Agri-food Research in Health and Medicine (CCARM) is working to make Canadians healthier through research into agri-food.
Return to Agriculture in the City Videos
There was a time when most Canadians lived on farms. Today, it's three per cent.
The rest of us live in urban areas such as Winnipeg.
As you might have guessed, the agriculture industry has become more sophisticated, allowing high-quality Canadian food to be produced more efficiently.
The industry is also using agriculture materials for medical and industrial purposes.
Let's take a brief look inside some of the innovative work that's being done in agriculture, one of Manitoba's most important and vibrant industries.
The Canadian Centre for Agri-food Research in Health and Medicine (CCARM) is dedicated to understanding the health-related benefits of nutraceuticals, functional foods and natural health products, or health foods.
Dr. Peter Zahradka is the centre's Team Leader.
Here are some pulses, or legumes.
Dr. Peter Zahradka:
Here are some pulses. You might recognize them as beans, peas, and lentils, but in the agriculture industry they're better known as pulses; and they're grown right here in Manitoba.
Here at CCARM we've conducted clinical trials which scientifically prove that pulses like these can play an instrumental role in fighting diseases like atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries.
Our scientists are also conducting a clinical trial to see if flax has beneficial effects for people suffering from heart disease.
When food has a health-promoting or disease-preventing property, we say it's functional. And discovering the functional properties in food is a big part of what we do.
Our work helps farmers make science-based claims about their crops which, in turn, adds value to what they produce.
We can then work to develop new products that improve the health quality of life of Canadians.

Regression model for leaf area estimation in Ficus carica L.
Leaf area (LA) is an important parameter to elucidate the relationship between plant growth and environment. LA can be measured by direct or indirect methods. In the current experiment, a LA estimation model was developed for common fig (Ficus carica L.) using linear measurements of leaf length (L) and leaf width (W). Leaves from six F. carica cultivars: 'Calabrese Nero', Cipressotto', 'Columbro Nero', Natalina', 'Papa', and San Mango' were used to calibrate the model. Regression analysis of LA vs. L and W revealed several models that could be used for estimating the area of individual F. carica leaves. A linear model having L and W as independent variables provided the most accurate estimate: highest R2 (›0.95), smallest mean square errors (MSE), smallest prediction sum of squares (PRESS), and a PRESS value reasonably close to the error sum of squares (SSE). However, this model required double time for leaf measurement. The model having W as independent variable exhibited also a high accuracy and precision in estimating individual F. carica LA. We preferred this model because of its simplicity and convenience, as it only involves one variable. Model validation was carried out using an independent data set coming from another F. carica cultivar ('Dottato Bianco'). Correlation coefficients showed a strong relationship between predicted and observed leaf area with an underestimation of 6.6%. This model can be reliably adopted without recalibration to estimate LA of F. carica cultivars, non-destructively.

virtualspecies is a freely available package for R designed to generate virtual species distributions, a procedure increasingly used in ecology to improve species distribution models. This package combines the existing methodological approaches with the objective of generating virtual species distributions with increased ecological realism. The package includes 1) generating the probability of occurrence of a virtual species from a spatial set of environmental conditions (i.e. environmental suitability), with two different approaches; 2) converting the environmental suitability into presence-absence with a probabilistic approach; 3) introducing dispersal limitations in the realised virtual species distributions and 4) sampling occurrences with different biases in the sampling procedure. The package was designed to be extremely flexible, to allow users to simulate their own defined species-environment relationships, as well as to provide a fine control over every simulation parameter. The package also includes a function to generate random virtual species distributions. We provide a simple example in this paper showing how increasing ecological realism of the virtual species impacts the predictive performance of species distribution models. We expect that this new package will be valuable to researchers willing to test techniques and protocols of species distribution models as well as various biogeographical hypotheses.

The NeoTech Aqua ReFleX™ water purification chambers are the most efficient and compact units available today. They require an order of magnitude less energy and less than 25% of the system volume to achieve the same or better purification result as competing chambers. This is the first in a series of three white papers explaining the benefits of these systems. This paper explains in detail the theory behind the operation of these chambers, including some computational examples of performance. The second paper presents both in-house and third party data demonstrating that performance in full scale systems as well as describing the protocols under which those data were taken. The final white paper presents an analysis of those results which show that the unique optical nature of the ReFleX™ chamber leads to the capability to measure the dose delivered to a target contained within the chamber simply by measuring the intensity of the ultraviolet light at a single point on the chamber wall and the water flow through the chamber.

Monument to Michiel de Ruyter
1681, Rombout Verhulst, various types of marble
The Netherlands' greatest naval hero is Admiral De Ruyter. He was a role model for Dutch men: unpretentious, courageous, and clever. It is sometimes forgotten that his heroic deeds helped to safeguard the Atlantic slave trade. Besides serving the Dutch Republic, Michiel Adriaenszoon also worked in the service of the King of Denmark, who knighted him in 1660. Depicted above the mausoleum is the admiral's family coat of arms. The three women personify Fame and Michiel's primary virtues: Caution and Strength. The central figure is Fame with her trumpet, on the left is Caution with a mirror, a serpent (representing Minerva, goddess of wisdom), and a rooster. Strength, on the right, leans against a column with the headdress of the Egyptian goddess Isis. The sculptor Rombout Verhulst based his design for the portrait of Michiel de Ruyter on a death mask of the admiral.

StartSmart Greece 2015: Morning Sessions
Foteini Agrafioti, Chief Innovation Officer, Architech
"The Process to Authenticate the Human Heart"
Biomedical authentication was a congested field when Foteini Agrafioti started her postgraduate work at University of Toronto. Unsure whether to pursue research in the spectrum of typical biomed technologies, Dr. Agrafioti instead took a cross-disciplinary approach, reading everything of interest. In her reading, one idea kept surfacing: the use of the human heartbeat to identify people.
In this session, Dr. Agrafioti will walk you through her journey from the idea phase to commercializing her research, an automatic human identification system from cardiac signals. The challenges along the way were numerous: there were no universal standards to measuring the heartbeat as a biometric identifier, and the idea had plenty of naysayers. Dr. Agrafioti will share with you the steps in her journey to commercialization: the proof of concept phase, the obstacles, the findings, and the options.
-Justifications and challenges to the idea of using the heartbeat as an authentication signal
-Setting the stage in the biometrics arena
-Searching for a next step: taking a "blue sky" approach
-Building a database: signals, algorithms and pizza

Vegetarian dining in Portugal
Eating out in Lisbon and Portugal as a vegetarian.
This article researches the possibilities for vegetarians to have a good time on holiday in Lisbon and the rest of Portugal, eat enough healthy food and even taste traditional Portuguese food without having to consort to eating meat.
We'll give you some advice and tips on the best places to eat, get your nutrients and enjoy great meals dining out the way you should on holiday!
In the large Supermarkets all over the country vegetarian food has become easily available from the large choice of beans, lentil and nuts already much used in the traditional Portuguese Cuisine, you now also will find many soya meat imitations, Tofu, Seitan and other meat replacement products.
Going to restaurants you generally wont find these things on the menu.
If you don't eat meat but fish there is no problem, fish is on just about every menu. Inland you'll find less fresh fish but many Bacalhua (salted cod dishes) that make up a large part of the traditional menu all over Portugal.
You don't eat meat or fish? Than eggs, cheese are often available but after that it gets more difficult.
Some vegetarian facts
Vegetarianism is growing and growing worldwide and anno 2013 the statistics demand that we take vegetarians serious in our supermarkets and restaurants.
We already know countries like India and Taiwan to have a large percentage of vegetarians (respectively 40% and 10%)
Europe however has lower percentages but the amount of vegetarians are steadily growing due to more food and environmental awareness and the various meat scams of recent years.
The Netherlands has a percentage of roughly 5% vegetarians and most of the population eat meat only a couple of times a week.
The Uk scores higher roughly 10% of it's population is fully vegetarian.
Germany has almost 8 million vegetarians making it one the most vegetarian countries in Europe.
America scores around 6% of its population, which is, let's face it, a substantial amount of people.
Portugal however scores around 0.3% and most Portuguese cannot imagine a meal without meat or fish.
Hopefully, in the future, more and more restaurants will understand the necessity of creating fully vegetarian, balanced and delicious meals.
Traditional vegetarian foods that you can find in restaurants
Eating traditional Portuguese: It can be a bit of a challenge finding typical Portuguese food that doesn't consist of meat or fish, yet it's possible!
First of all don't make the mistake of going to a traditional restaurant thinking they can and will throw something together that will come close to a meal. The best you can hope for in most restaurants is an omelet or a couple of fried eggs, salad (not much more than lettuce, tomato and onion), white rice, potato, chips and if there out of eggs, well…..
So lets look at the traditional kitchen most dishes consist of fish, meat or mixes of fish and meat.
Some of the the side dishes however, can be exciting for vegetarians especially the really traditional ones that go back to a time when fish and meat where not daily available making some of them are really fully nutritious vegetarian meals and delicious if made well.
Check out the following
not a meal but a great beer snack that many Portuguese eat while socializing with friends over a beer or a glass of wine. They are big butter beans, salted and delicious as a snack. Most Portuguese will pop the bean out of it's skin (as it can be bitter) and eat only the inside leaving the skin on the plate provided.
Acorda is found all over Portugal and it's much like the Italian risotto but not made with rice but bread mixed with almost anything. Not al Acorda's are vegetarian but a lot of them are or could be if you ask the cook.
Acorda can be with beans, veg or gamba's. It's always mixed with plenty of olive oil and seasoning.
A type of acorda with beans. A filling and great vegetarian meal.
Migas Now Migas is one of my favourites. Especially the regional Ribatejan dish that you will find in Lisbon in restaurants that serve dishes from Ribatejo. But the whole country has different types of Migas all worth trying.
It literally means breadcrumbs and is made of the tougher, heavier country bread type. In Ribatejo they use Broa. The bread is cut into small pieces, mixed with olive, white bean, a Portuguese cabbage called caldo verde or couve Portuguesa also finely chopped, salt, pepper, sometimes garlic and other seasoning. It's delicious mixed with salad it's a filling and perfectly nutritious meal.
Most Portuguese soups are vegetarian. Generally stock cubes aren't used in preparing soups and a vegetable soups will be made using partly pureed vegetables, salt and olive oil. So if you can handle a meal made purely of soup (bread and olives) this can be a safe way to go.
Chick pea chick pea is part of the traditional Portuguese kitchen and most restaurants will have them. Very often they are mixed with chopped onion and fresh parsley and they can help in making a sufficient vegetarian meal.
In portuguese they are called grao (grouwng)
Many restaurants offer buffet and a lot of these buffet will have at least a few vegetarian dishes (if your strict you may want to check with the cook which dishes are really vegetarian but I've had a few of these meals choosing the veg, bean and chickpea dishes that did taste good and where fulfilling.
And from my experience that's where 'vegetarian' stops in all Portuguese traditional restaurants.
In Lisbon there are plenty of alternatives, generally a bit more expensive than the average, although the vegetarian meal is likely to be the cheapest.
Italian, Thai, Chinese, Indian, Turkish restaurants all offer vegetarian meals and there are many of them.
This month we will introducing a new tag to our restaurants that serve also fully fledged vegetarian meals, so they become easier to find!
Being a vegetarian I love the fully vegetarian restaurants that give me a menu where I can choose, wow, but being a person I like to go out with friends and not all of them get as excited as I do when I say 'vegetarian restaurant!'. that's why all restaurants should offer vegetarian alternatives, there are to many of us to ignore! And our meat eating friends do take us into consideration and will also move to a restaurant that offers both if they are to be found.
If on average 7% of eaters are vegetarian than 7% of menu's should be vegetarian but lets make it 10% it rounds better and gives meat eaters the opportunity to skip for one day.
Sadly not every vegetarian want tofu, which is pretty difficult to get and even more difficult to cook, if you want to get it right.
Why never a vegetarian lasagna (nuts replace meat very well) or a quiche. Want to do it portugeuse use all the beans from the traditional kitchen, spice them up the way you would any other Portuguese dish, serve with rice and a well fried egg or boiled potato and voila, a traditional Portuguese vegetarian meal is born!
Conclusion: if an average of 7% of the total tourist population are vegetarians just taking Europe and America into perspective, isn't it time for Portugal to start thinking of alternatives? At least there where there are tourists? And maybe offering fully fledged vegetarian meals to the Portuguese just to show them how delicious vegetarian food can be!
Vegetarian food is easier to cook, easier to keep fresh and a lot cheaper, shouldn't every restaurant be happy to have at least one dish on their menu and at least 2 because they like to offer choice!

National Youth Day!
Youth of a nation is an integral and an important part of a nation. It is celebrated every year on 12th January. This day is celebrated to celebrate the power of youthful energy. This day is celebrated to mark the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda. This day is celebrated across many countries to mark the prosperity and propensity of the youth. Every nation wishes to give a proper direction to their youth, this is a day to enjoy the freedom as well as identify our duties towards our nation and society.
National Youth Day-How to Draw Swami Vivekananda Drawing for Kids
Swami Vivekananda's birthday is the inspiration behind the celebration of this day. So, let us begin with making a portrait of Swami Vivekananda. Tart with the headgear of Swami. Draw the right portion of the headgear and then come to the left part. Move on to the face portion and then, draw the outer figure and make the eyes, ears and nose of the Swami. Now go on to draw the clothes of the Swami. Raw Swami's signature pose: him standing with his folded arms. Shade the sketch wherever you feel necessary or you can colour the white picture and the background. You can write 'Happy National Youth Day' in the background. For better understanding of this subtle and easy to draw portrait look up:
Read more: Summer Art Ideas To Have Fun This Summer
National Youth Day-Youth Day Drawing Tribute
We can also show the youth voicing their concerns on this day. We can make posters or sketch some art related to youth uprisings or any other such movements. You can draw a group of students. You can take ideas from already existing uprisings or imagine some of your own. Like here we have drawn three teenagers with their fists high in solitude. We have not used any colours, just the black and white contrast. This contrast reflects so much towards the observers. You can draw players, or unconventional occupations taken up by the youth to feed their families or to support them financially. Every child grows into his or her youth believing to help his/her parents in running the household. You can take inspiration from this easy time-lapse tutorial video:
National Youth Day-Mental Health Matters Youth day Art Showcase
'Mental Health Matters' this can become one of the best themes for the youth day presentation. We can easily inculcate this topic in our drawings or posters. So many youngsters suffer from mental illness but stigma stops them from owing up. We must make sure every teenager opens up about their issues and problems. we can make this happen through awareness drives and posters. Posters showing their issues as a general widespread issue will make them feel comfortable and homely. Or we can make posters showing the suffering of the youth in dire conditions. Organizing such poster making competitions can also help, along with informative sessions. For better understanding and more ideas for such posters lookup this very much informative video:
National Youth Day-Raising your voice -International Youth day
This video is two years old but still relevant. It shows many quirky and relatable posters which can be realized easily by anyone. One just needs to try. First poster which comes up is of a girl sticking out her tongue with 'Happy Youth Day' written in the background. The vides shows the fun, frolic and exuberance shown by the youngsters. It also shows the support which each of them is to the other. The fun we all have at college or functions are shown in this vudeo.The video also tells us the vision Swami Vivekananda had for the youth. He wanted the youth to be obedient with good character and selfless. It also shows a poster with so many children standing in a line with a dog and speaking something collectively. It also shows us important quotes by Swami Vivekananda for the new generation. In the end the video gives a message to enjoy the young age and be responsible. For a look up to this video go to:

How to Draw Swami Vivekananda face pencil Drawing – National Youth Day
Moving on to the next pencil sketching of Swami Vivekananda. In this video, the artist starts with the robe drawing at first. He keeps every detail of the robe in mind while sketching it. Then the artist moves to the face of the Swami. He goes on to the complete face formation and then draws the details of the face later. The artist draws the headgear of the Swami. The details and expression on the face of the Swami. In the end the artist shades the required parts. You can shade the figure or colour it, in whatever way you like it. Look up this easy tutorial at:

 Grab one end of each P-shaped ring with both of your hands. Hold the puzzle as evenly as possible to prevent twisting the puzzle the wrong way while you work. Align the puzzle horizontally before you begin twisting it, with both ends of the P-shaped rings facing outwards.[1]
 - The two Ps should make something resembling a "W" shape before you begin twisting them.
 2. 2
 Turn your left P-shaped ring down. Then, loop the right ring around the upper "P" loop of the left ring. Your two P-shaped rings should look stacked on top of each other and mirroring each other at the loops.[2]
 - The rings should resemble a heart shape at this stage.
 3. 3
 Pull the right ring from the top and through the left loop. As you string the right ring through the left loop, it should slide off once you reach the bottom end. Once the two rings are separated, you have completed the puzzle.[3]
 - Set them down somewhere you won't forget to prevent losing them.
 4. 4
 Slide one ring through the "P" loop of the other ring to reset the puzzle. To prevent losing either ring and to put the puzzle together again, insert one ring through the top loop of the other ring. Pull the first ring all the way through the second ring, then turn the second ring up to secure both in place.
Part 2 of 3:
Beating a Horseshoe Ring Puzzle
 1. 1
 Hold the ring up evenly in front of you. Align the ring as evenly and as tightly as you can. Avoid holding one end of the right higher or lower than the other to prevent the ring from twisting or tangling as you work on it.[4]
 2. 2
 Twist one horseshoe in a counterclockwise direction. Keep the metal ring in-between the two rings. Continue twisting it until the ring is tight between the two rings and you cannot twist the horseshoe any further.[5]
 3. 3
 Bend and align the two horseshoes. Push the two horseshoes together into the middle of the chain until it bends in half. Line up the horseshoes as evenly as possible, allowing the ring to fall to the bottom of the horseshoes.[6]
 4. 4
 Slide the ring up and off of the horseshoe. Grab hold of the metal ring and lift it up through 1 side of the horseshoes. If the horseshoes are aligned, the ring should come off without forcing it. Check the horseshoe alignment if your ring appears stuck or you cannot locate an opening at the top of the horseshoes.[7]
 5. 5
 Re-align the horseshoes to put the puzzle back together. When you're ready to put the puzzle together again, twist and bend the chain in half to align the horseshoes back together. Drop the ring through one end of the horseshoes, then fold the horseshoes back up and twist 1 horseshoe in the opposite direction to secure the ring.
Part 3 of 3:
Solving a Double M Puzzle
 1. 1
 Lift one double M ring above the other ring. Both double M rings have a large curve around the top of the ring. Position your rings so that 1 ring is facing with their curve up and the other is facing downward in the opposite direction.[8]
 - Because the pieces are identical, they should look like a reflection of each other.
 2. 2
 Turn the rings at a 90-degree angle. Lift the bottom ring up through the top ring's side, then tilt them sideways at a 90-degree angle. The two ring curves should still be facing in opposite directions.[9]
 3. 3
 Slide the bottom piece up through the top piece's curve. Keep the rings even and at the 90-degree angle to prevent twisting or complicating your puzzle. When you have reached the top, make the bottom ring aligned with the middle of the top ring's curve.[10]
 4. 4
 Lower the bottom ring through the middle of the top ring's "M." Turn both rings upright again and slide the bottom ring down through the top ring's "M." If you have aligned the rings correctly, it should go through the middle without twisting or catching.[11]
 5. 5
 Insert one ring through the other ring's "M" to put the puzzle together again. To attach the two rings together again, raise one ring through the middle of the other ring's "M." Then, twist the rings at a 90-degree angle and slide it over the top curve and to the bottom of the ring. This will secure the rings together for storage.

College Kid Perfects the Pot Fridge
If you live in a primitive environment, like a desert, modern amenities aren't going to do you much good. A refrigerator would come in handy, but what are you going to do, plug it into your camel!
However, rural farmers in Nigeria, who don't have access to water, electricity or even transportation, have been refrigerating things for years.
They use a simple contraption. One big pot, with a small pot placed in the middle, wet sand goes in between the two and as the water evaporates it cools whatever's in the center pot.
And now, a British college student has modernized the contraption.
Unlike the third-world fridge, 21 year old, Emily Cummins's supped up version is made with metal cylinders, wire mesh and wood, but it works the same way. In between the cylinders is some sort of wet absorbent material, like soil, wool or sand, and evaporation does the rest.
The sustainable refrigerator requires no electricity and can keep foods, like meat and milk, cool for days, holding steady at about 43 degrees Fahrenheit; The Guardian reports.
I don't know how practical it is, especially since you have to keep rewetting the sand. Also, it kind of looks like a birdfeeder.

This guide will make use of the VoiceMeeter Banana software to split audio for the selective recording feature in Streamlabs OBS. For example, removing alert audio from your recording and allowing it to come through to you and your stream.
This guide builds on top of the Split Audio using VoiceMeeter Banana guide, so if you have not set up VoiceMeeter Banana yet, please follow that guide first to have the starting point for this guide.
Using both virual outputs of VoiceMeeter Banana
In addition to the initial set up, you also will be using the VoiceMeeter Aux Output (VB-Audio VoiceMeeter AUX VAIO), set as the Mic/Auxiliary Device 2. Your microphone can be set in the Mic/Auxiliary Device 3.
Browser Source Audio via OBS
The next thing to do is have audio from browser sources and widgets, such as the Streamlabs Alert box go through the audio system of Streamlabs OBS instead of having the output to the default playback device of Windows, mixing it with any other audio, such as the game audio.
To do this, open the properties of the browser source or widget and check Control Audio via OBS. For widgets, like the Alert Box widget, this is found under the "Source". After this, you would need to monitor these sources in order to hear the audio again, more about this down below!
Set the Audio Monitoring Device
By default, the monitoring device is the same default playback device set in Windows, which would mean if you were to monitor any sources it would be mixed with any other audio and end up on the recording again. Set the Audio Monitoring Device found in the Advanced Settings of Streamlabs OBS to VoiceMeeter Aux Input (VB-Audio VoiceMeeter AUX VAIO). Now, game audio (default desktop) and monitored sources are separated from each other, each to one of the virtual inputs that VoiceMeeter Banana has to offer.
Advanced Audio Settings
Open the Advanced Audio Settings by clicking the ⚙ icon above the Mixer in Streamlabs OBS. In here set the sources that you want to hear and be on stream only to "Monitor Only". Furthermore, you would need to set the audio tracks, where track 1 will be used for the stream and additional tracks will be used for the recording.
In the following configuration the Alert Box is being monitored and the audio is not on the recording or stream. The stream will get the audio from VoiceMeeter Banana virtual output and the microphone (track 1). The recording will get the audio from the VoiceMeeter Banana virtual aux output (track 2), the microphone (track 3), and optionally the stream audio that includes other audio sources again (track 4).
Advanced Output Mode
In order to select which audio tracks you want to use for stream and recording, you would need to use the Advanced Output mode in the Output Settings of Streamlabs OBS. For Streaming select track 1 and under Recording check track; 2, 3, and 4. Make sure the Recording Format you selected supports multi-track recording, such as TS, MKV, or MP4.
Route audio with VoiceMeeter Banana
Back to VoiceMeeter Banana again where you will "patch" the audio from one of the inputs to one of the outputs, Virtual Output B1 is used for the stream and Virtual Aux Output B2 is used for the recording.
VoiceMeeter Banana has now both virtual inputs in use, the main would be the default desktop audio which usually contains game audio and the aux input contains monitored sources audio. The monitoring you want to "patch" only to A1 and B1, your headset and stream where the desktop audio you want to patch to A1, B1, and B2, your headset, the stream and recording.


The skin script allow to describe skins the engine will use for actor models (at the moment, only for human skins). It is not used for the gameplay, but only for the look and feel.
Model file embed a list of skin name. The engine only use the first one to find image file name. Others are not used, but can be, anyway, useful for third party model viewers and editors. The engine
Each skin is describe with the keyword actorskin. It contain a string id (used to find image file name), a name (displayed in the user interface) which is translatable, and some properties.
V_BOOL: Describe if we can use this skin in single player mode.
V_BOOL: Describe if we can use this skin in multiplayer mode.
This example register a foo skin to the game. The game will search for skins using _foo suffix. This skin is available in both multiplayer and singleplayer game.
actorskin foo {
 name "_My foo skin"
 singleplayer true
 multiplayer true
Resolution of image skin name
The engine use three things to found the file name used for a skin.
 - The first image defined of the embedded skin defined inside model file. Most of the time it is the name of the model itself.
 - The separator _ (underscore) for readability.
 - The actor skin id as suffix.
For example: It exists a model called body.md2. It embedded the skin file name body. And it exists an actor skin name called forest. The engine will check the image filename body_forest. If this image do not exists, the engine will use the default skin name.
 - base/models/soldiers/foo
 - body.md2
 - body.jpg
 - body_forest.jpg
Script order
The engine use the first embedded skin from models. It is a special case cause here - it doesn't use any suffix. To avoid loading error, the engine must read this skin entry on first, and this skin must be called default.
actorskin default {
 name "_Urban"
 singleplayer true
 multiplayer true
It is anyway an artificial order limitation. We should fix it with code. Patch is welcome.
Sharing actor skin
Elite skin by turkana.
We can share an own actor skin with a pk3 file. You can check _URL_ for an example of skin.
To use this file, we can move it on the game base directory, or on the home base directory. It add a new "Elite" skin, for the multiplayer mode only.
Some notes:
 - A pk3 can contain more than one new actor skin.
 - It should not overwrite official content.
 - The script should be prefixed with skins_.
 - Actor skin name and script should avoid conflict name.
Multiplayer limitation
The game engine only share numerical skin id, and not named skin id. If a player use a custom actor skin, we don't know if other people will see the same model. Anyway the player himself will see the right model. Patch is welcome.
If all players use the same pk3 files, and the same game content, all players will have the same right result.

Standardisation of rates using logistic regression : a comparison with the direct method
Research output: Contribution to journal › Article
BACKGROUND: Standardisation of rates in health services research is generally undertaken using the direct and indirect arithmetic methods. These methods can produce unreliable estimates when the calculations are based on small numbers. Regression based methods are available but are rarely applied in practice. This study demonstrates the advantages of using logistic regression to obtain smoothed standardised estimates of the prevalence of rare disease in the presence of covariates. METHODS: Step by step worked examples of the logistic and direct methods are presented utilising data from BETS, an observational study designed to estimate the prevalence of subclinical thyroid disease in the elderly. Rates calculated by the direct method were standardised by sex and age categories, whereas rates by the logistic method were standardised by sex and age as a continuous variable. RESULTS: The two methods produce estimates of similar magnitude when standardising by age and sex. The standard errors produced by the logistic method were lower than the conventional direct method. CONCLUSION: Regression based standardisation is a practical alternative to the direct method. It produces more reliable estimates than the direct or indirect method when the calculations are based on small numbers. It has greater flexibility in factor selection and allows standardisation by both continuous and categorical variables. It therefore allows standardisation to be performed in situations where the direct method would give unreliable results.

text: To dissociate the influence of host age from length of exposure on acquisition of filarial infection, we examined the development of microfilaraemia and anti-filarial IgG4 in all ages of a naive population that became suddenly exposed to Brugia malayi as a result of transmigration. Responses in 247 transmigrants, who had settled for periods of several months up to 6 years in their new homesteads, were compared with those of 133 life-long residents. As shown in earlier studies, anti-filarial IgG4 increased with age in the indigenous population, whose age is equivalent to length of exposure. However, by examining transmigrants, it became clear that development of specific IgG4 was influenced by age, since levels of this antibody were consistently higher in transmigrant adults than in transmigrant children, despite an equal length of exposure to filarial infection. Examining microfilaraemia, it was confirmed that infection establishes more rapidly in adults than in children.

here is what I have:

prove for n = 1 where |uv| = 1

Instead of doing induction over the entire $|uv|$, let the induction variable be just $|v|$ and keep the $u$ constant-but-arbitrary throughout the induction proof. (Also, since $u$ can be empty, the base case should probably be $|u|=0$ rather than $|u|=1$). – Henning Makholm Sep 3 '11 at 22:01

I agree with Henning that your induction should be on $|v|$. Note in the case $|v| = 1$, you're done by definition. It's probably also worth mentioning something about the empty string for completeness.
Let me demonstrate how I would prove this for $|v| = 3$ supposing we knew this were true for when $|v| = 2$. This should illustrate how you should prove $|v| = n$ from assuming $|v| = n - 1$ is valid.
Let $v = v_1v_2v_3$ be a string of length 3. Assume the claim is true for strings of length 2. Then $(uv)^R = (uv_1v_2v_3)^R$. By the recursive definition, $(uv_1v_2v_3)^R = v_3(uv_1v_2)^R$. Note $v_1v_2$ is a string of length 2, so we have $v_3(uv_1v_2)^R = v_3(v_1v_2)^Ru^R$. But by definition, $v_3(v_1v_2)^Ru^R = v_3v_2v_1u^R = (v_1v_2v_3)^Ru^R$.
In almost all inductive proofs, it helps to prove a few small cases by using even smaller cases. If you're still having trouble, try proving this for $|v| = 4$ by using the same ideas as above.

Honeycomb Amber Pendant
Honeycomb Amber Pendant
 - £6490
A lovely elongated cognac Amber gemstone, decorated with a honeycomb pattern in silver on one side and on the bale. It comes complete with an 18 inch silver chain.
Amber is the fossilised resin of ancient pine trees. Our Amber comes from the Baltic region and was formed during the Eocene geological period, about 44 million years ago, when the Baltic region was experiencing a semi -tropical climate. As the resin seeped from the trees it began to solidify on the tree bark or fell to the forest floor, often being carried to the sea by streams. This is why originally much Amber was found washed up on the beaches.
A birthstone for Aries and Leo, it is said to promote courage, vitality and personal growth.

If you want to tell somebody to go away you could shout:
"Hau ab!"
However this is considered as not very polite, much like "Get lost!", or "F*** off!". I am wondering where German "Hau ab" comes from to explain why it is considered as rude in usage. What does it mean literally?
share|improve this question
3 Answers 3
up vote 2 down vote accepted
"Hau ab!" is the imperative of abhauen, which has the colloquial meaning (among others) of to escape quickly.
The Duden derives it from hauen, which means to beat and is said to refer to beating a horse with the spurs on your boots. Grimm's dictionary still mentions the meaning to hurry, to run for hauen and gives the same reasoning:
13) hauen endlich für eilen, streben, laufen. diese bedeutung hat wol ihren ausgang von dem einhauen der sporen in des rosses weichen
Together with the prefix ab- (off, away) you get to run away, to get off quickly.
But note that this old meaning of hauen is no longer present, and Grimm's doesn't say abhauen to mean to escape. If they didn't miss it, the verb must have derived this meaning after this part of the dictionary was written, but before hauen lost its meaning of to hurry.
This gives room to a second theory: according to the book Westjiddisches Wörterbuch, the verb abhauen might derive from abbauen, which is Rotwelsch for to escape, to flee and has Yiddish origins. It is further said to have a Hebrew root that means to come.
A Rotwelsch, i.e. thieve's argot, origin might also have contributed to the derogative touch of abhauen, which in turn can also explain (to some degree at least) why "Hau ab" sounds rather rude, as you mention in your question.
share|improve this answer
According to this link, hauen used to mean "hurry" or "run" at some point in addition to "beat", probably originating from "beating a horse to make it run faster". "Ab" is a Latin prefix meaning "away from."
So "abhauen" just means "run away".
I don't think it's rude because of its etymology, but because there are very few polite ways to tell someone to go away in general, because a) you're telling someone what to do, and b) you're telling them "I don't want you here." That's going to come across as impolite pretty much regardless of what words you use.
I don't think "Hau ab!" is any more impolite than "Go away!" "F**k off!" is stronger than that, and a better German equivalent would be "Verpiss dich!"
share|improve this answer
Nice explanation. "Hau ab" definitely is stronger than "Geh weg". "Verpiss Dich" is used regionally (but less so recently). – Takkat Oct 4 '11 at 8:03
I agree that it's stronger than "Geh weg", but I'd say "Go away" is still a pretty good translation. English doesn't seem to have as many nuanced ways to tell someone to leave. It goes directly from "Go away" to various vulgarities. – Cass Oct 4 '11 at 8:15
But why "ab" and not "weg"? – Takkat Oct 4 '11 at 8:22
+1 for pointing out that "Hau ab" has not to be impolite. For example "Hau ab" is also somthing you could say to a fugitive if the "bad guys" come to get him. – 0x6d64 Oct 4 '11 at 10:55

Why do I have to take a bath?
Chris Amaral/Digital Vision/Thinkstock
If your parents tell you to take a bath, then that's the reason why. But there is no survival reason to take a bath. People can go for months without taking a bath and they survive fine.
But, when they don't take a bath, people sometimes smell pretty bad. Taking a bath gets rid of the smell. And your skin gets dirty, just like a car gets dirty if you don't wash it. Taking a bath lets you clean your skin. If you have a cut or a scrape, cleaning the skin will help it heal faster because it gets rid of germs.

The live hands are usually worked on using animation with the bones on each finger a monster has. They can be rendered in live hand when animation is used. Humanoids, Humans and all others are always live handed because the humans skeleton causes them to move any finger. Live hands are mostly used in animations, human beings and puppets who have live hands, but rod-hand puppets keep the fingers sticked with the hands.

Seven Hanging Valleys Circular
The Seven Hanging Valleys Trail is a waymarked walk which follows the high cliffs between Praia Marinha and Praia Vale de Centeanes. This circular route is for those who want to tackle the often challenging 5.7km trail to Praia Vale de Centeanes but would prefer a less demanding return to Praia Marinha (the promoted route is linear). If clear turquoise waters, crashing waves and unspoilt beaches are not your 'thing' then focus instead on the many fascinating geological features along the route, including caves, arches and stacks. Stare down into the numerous (and fenced) sinkholes and listen to the sound of the ocean far below.
There are illustrated information boards along the way explaining how erosion has moulded this limestone landscape, as well as information about local flora and fauna. Walk highlights include Benagil, a beach which is consistently voted among the most beautiful in Europe; and the Farol de Alfanzina (a 23-metre lighthouse built in 1920 and still in operation today).

Two Karakara, one folded up and one unfolded.
A Karakara is an enemy from Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. These one-eyed umbrellas are found near the start and the end of the second level in the Pumpkin Zone. They will unfold and launch into the air, then float downwards while moving back and forth. A Karakara can be defeated by a jump or a fireball. They are based on the Karakasa or Kasa-Obake, a yōkai spirit from Japanese mythology.[1]

What lag time is
Lag time is the amount of time by which the destination system lags behind the source system.
The lag time is the difference between the current time and the timestamp of the Snapshot copy that was last successfully transferred to the destination system. The lag time will always be at least as much as the duration of the last successful transfer, unless the clocks on the source and destination systems are not synchronized. The time zone difference is automatically calculated into the lag time.

Estimation of Wiener Diffusion Parameters Using Process Measurements Subject to Error
Most materials and components degrade physically before they fail. Engineering degradation tests are designed to measure these degradation processes. Measurements in the tests reflect the inherent randomness of degradation itself as well as measurement errors created by imperfect instruments, procedures and environments. This paper describes a statistical model for measured degradation data that takes both sources of variation into account. The paper presents inference procedures for the model and discusses some practical issues that must be considered in dealing with the statistical problem.

Chocolate and Maple Syrup
Every day we use many things that come from trees. Fruits and nuts like apples, peaches, plums, cherries and almonds all come from living trees, as does the cocoa bean that makes chocolate! Living trees also provide spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper, and the sap from the maple tree makes maple syrup!
Many medicines also come from trees and other plants. As a matter of fact, aspirin comes from the bark of a willow tree. Scientists are still searching for new medicines in trees, which is another reason why it's so important to protect our forests. They could provide us a cure for cancer!

Game and Fish discusses doe limit
Thursday, August 14, 2003
There seems to be some confusion over the number of does that may be taken during the upcoming deer season in Arkansas. A few hunters are asking about the implications of the one-doe limit in regard to special Arkansas Game and Fish Commission wildlife management area hunts.
The statewide doe bag limit is one. Even though a WMA and a Deer Zone are separate zones and may have different harvest restrictions, hunters cannot kill more than one doe combined, AGFC Wildlife Assistant Chief Doyle Shook said. "If you have already killed a doe by archery before a WMA hunt or before the zone doe-quota permit is valid, you cannot kill a doe during the WMA permit hunt, nor can you use the zone doe-quota permit."
Here's an example for hunters: If a hunter has killed a doe with a bow on Oct. 1 and he has a zone doe-quota permit for Deer Zone 11 or a WMA permit such as the one used at Fort Chaffee (which allows a hunter to take a doe or either sex), he is not allowed to take another doe because he has killed a doe during the archery season. No more than one doe can be taken in an individual's bag limit.
Another example: If a hunter kills a doe by a zone doe-quota permit and has a permit for a later either-sex WMA hunt, the hunter will have to buck-only hunt because he has filled his doe bag limit.
Statewide, the season bag limit is three deer. A season bag limit may contain two legal bucks and one doe. Hunters must obey zone and WMA restrictions and may hunt in different zones and WMAs as long as the statewide season bag limit is not exceeded.
In zones 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 11, the bag limit is the same (two legal bucks and one doe) but before taking a doe a hunter must have a zone doe-quota permit. Zone doe-quota permits are not valid on WMAs that lie within the boundaries of zones 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 11. The bag limit for archery is the same as the statewide limit. A zone doe-quota permit is not required to take a doe unless a hunter is in zones 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 11 when a firearms deer season is open.

In this paper, a grayscale wavelet moment and entropy combined feature, which can well represent the images with much
lower dimensions, is proposed for the MSTAR targets' classification, also a discriminative feature selection and
evaluation method for multi-class targets is presented. By introducing SVM as the classifier to some simulation tests, it
can be shown that the grayscale wavelet moment and entropy combined feature has good capability for translation,
scaling and rotation transformation in both local information and global information conditions, by the reasons of
wavelet moments' multi-resolution analysis, moment invariant quality and entropy's statistic quality for image disorder.
The test also confirms that this feature has a significant improvement on classificatory accuracy using SVM with a lower
feature dimension than the other features such as the single wavelet moment, Hu's moment and PCA.

Geostatistical modelling has proven to be a good tool for decision making in soil nutrient management because it has the ability to map spatial heterogeneity and uncertainty. This study outlines a comparative approach to quantify the uncertainties and correlations in spatial process models as illustrated for the distribution of Zn in top soils of a semi-arid environment. The spatial correlation of Zn uncertainties is investigated by calculating the semi-variance of normalized Zn concentration residuals, for a sufficiently large dataset, as a function of distance between pairs of locations within the Zn field. Three semi-variogram models, namely: Exponential, Gaussian, and Spherical models were tested on the spatial correlation structure of the normalized residuals and further used as default input model for Sequential Gaussian Simulation. The Sequential Gaussian Simulation led to an improved description of spatial heterogeneity and uncertainty. The choice of semivariogram model is therefore critical for robust Sequential Gaussian Simulation and uncertainty analysis. A new criterion is proposed to inform the choice of default input model for sequential Gaussian simulation given by ratio of partial sill to square of major range. With this criterion, Exponential model performed better than both Gaussian and Spherical models. The results indicate spatial correlation in Zn field and it is suggested that the spatial correlation of Zn uncertainties should be considered to exclude inaccurate estimation for spatially distributed systems when performing nutrient distribution studies.

The term "Factories" comes from the factory design pattern. Factories are objects which can create new instances of certain types of Entities. Factories provide the following benefits:
 1. Entities created in a factory will automatically be added to screen lists (by default).
 2. Factories provide a standard way to create entities which is especially useful for systems like Tiled to instantiate new entities.
 3. Factories can pool Entities which can greatly reduce allocated memory for Entities which are created and destroyed frequently.
If your game requires the creation of entities in code (such as the player shooting bullets or enemies appearing at an enemy spawn point), then you will want to use factories.
Quick Usage Example
To use a factory in Glue:
 1. Create or select an existing entity
 2. Select the Quick Action tab
 3. Click the Add Player Factory button. Your button may have a different text matching your selected Entity's name.
 1. If you do not see this, your entity may already have a factory. To check this, look at the properties tab for your entity and find the Created by Other Entities property. If it's true, you already have a factory.
 4. Click Add Player List to GameScreen. Note that if your main screen is not titled GameScreen, then you will need to manually add a list to the desired screen. A screen must exist in your current screen or the created entities will not have their CustomActivity methods called.
 5. In any code, such as in GameScreen or any other entity, create a Player instance using the CreateNew method as shown in the following code:
 void CustomInitialize()
 var player = Factories.PlayerFactory.CreateNew(x: 50, y: 100);
 // perform any additional modifications to the player here
For a tutorial on how to use factories, see the Created by Other Entities tutorial page.
Factories Generated by Glue
Glue will automatically generate factories for any entity which has its Created by Other Entities property set to true.
For information on this property, see the CreatedByOtherEntities page.

Hello all, I would appreciate comments on the following question:
A main theorem of symmetric functions might be formulated: Let k be a field of char. 0. Then $k[x_1,...,x_n]^{S_n} = k[s_1,...,s_n]$, i.e. symmetric polynomials can be written as polynomials in the elementary symmetric polynomials. Moreover, $s_1,...,s_n$ satisfy no polynomial relations.
I want to see how to prove it using Galois theory. I thus consider the field $M=k(x_1,...,x_n)$ and its subfields $K=k(s_1,...,s_n)$ and $L$, the subfield of symmetric functions. Thus $K \subset L \subset M$. I then consider the polynomial $G(t)=(t-x_1)...(t-x_n)$. It has coefficients in $K$. $M$ is the splitting field of $G$ over $K$. Hence $[M:K] \leq n!$. From this we already see that $s_1,...,s_n$ satisfy no polynomial relations. On the other hand, $M$ has $n!$ different automorphism over $L$, which are permuting the $x_i$. Hence from Galois theory we can conclude that $L=K$.
My question is: How can I deduce the claim $k[x_1,...,x_n]^{S_n} = k[s_1,...,s_n]$ from the corresponding one for rational functions: $L=K$.

I hope the following works. Let $A=k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]^{S_n}$, and let $B=k[s_1,\ldots,s_n]$. The polynomial algebra $k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ is an integral extension of $B$, and hence, a fortiori, $A$ is integral over $B$. I think your argument proves that $A$ and $B$ have the same fraction field. However, since $B$ is (isomorphic to) a polynomial algebra, it must be integrally closed, whence $A=B$.

The theorem that you are trying to reprove is true if $k$ is any commutative ring. – Tom Goodwillie Jul 4 '10 at 21:36
I was not trying to reprove any theorems, and in the statement of the question $k$ is a field. – senti_today Jul 5 '10 at 1:22

text: Community based monitoring is emerging as a promising practice for improving programme effectiveness and as a key component of rights-based implementation of health programmes. One of the challenges of this approach is to demonstrate that it is yielding results. Community based monitoring is often seen as a process intensive intervention, which may not yield results in terms of changes in health 'services' and health 'outcomes' in the short term. However, it is very important in 'empowering' communities and in building their capacities in engaging with service providers and to negotiate better services for themselves. This paper discusses the different conceptual dimensions of community monitoring and then explores the difficulties of monitoring and assessing progress and results. It also explores a set of mechanisms for documenting and assessing progress drawing upon contemporary practice of evaluation. Using practical examples drawn from the author's own practice and two examples of field level practice in India, the author proposes a practical methodology for assessing progress, drawing lessons and for establishing robust evidence based results in the field of community based monitoring.

Click here to see information about this file Engine
Allows you to go in different directions and increases your speed.
Metal Ingot.png
Circuit Board.png
Engine is a Navigation item in Raft.
Summary[edit | edit source]
The Engine is acquired through the Blueprint: Engine found on the Vasagatan. After researching the blueprint, players may build and place an engine in order to sail against the wind. Used in combination with the Steering Wheel, the player gets full control of which direction they wish to sail. One Engine can push a raft of up to 100 Foundations. For each set of 100 Foundations over the initial 100, another Engine must be built and run simultaneously in order for them to have enough power to sail the raft. Note that Collection Nets do not count towards number of Foundations.
Adding six Engines to a raft will increase the sailing speed to the maximum possible, while ignoring aforementioned Foundation limitations.
Fuel[edit | edit source]
The Engine runs on Planks or Biofuel. While using Planks, the Engine will burn through a single plank in 36 seconds and a full tank of 17 planks in exactly 600 seconds (10 minutes instead of 612 seconds due to overfill). A single Biofuel is worth 17 planks in Engine runtime if put directly into the Engine and 20 planks if fed from a Tank, but also requires Honey making it a harder fuel to obtain. However, Biofuel can be stored in Biofuel Tanks and connected to the Engine through Fuel Pipes automating the process of filling the Engine with fuel. A Biofuel Tank can be filled with four Biofuel canisters and powers a single Engine for a total of 48 minutes (approximately 2.4 to 3.6 in-game days depending on whether or not the player sleeps).
Stuttering[edit | edit source]
If the Engine is unable to push the Raft, whether if it's anchored or overburdened, it will slow down to a stop while simultaneously stuttering indicating something is wrong. No fuel is used during this time, despite the Engine being on.
Following is a comparison of the running and stuttering Engine:
Show/Hide Videos
 - Too many Foundations. An Engine can push up to 100 foundations. Make sure that the amount of Engines covers the amount of Foundations.
 - The raft is anchored. Make sure no anchors are currently holding the raft in place.
 - One or more Engines lacks fuel. Check fuel level on all Engines.
 - The Engines are going in opposite directions. Check the Engine direction lever and make sure they match.
Speed[edit | edit source]
The Engine follows a few parameters when it comes to deciding the speed of the raft[1].
The first parameter regards sailing speed of the raft when using Engines, which is always valued between 1.5 and 2.5, and can never exceed these numbers. A single Engine will push the raft at a speed of 2, and adding an additional Engine will increase the speed of the raft to 2.5.
The second parameter regards overburdening the raft. As mentioned above, a single Engine can move up to 100 Foundations, however there is a 'Slow Zone' between 101-110 Foundations(per engine) where the Raft will still sail, but at reduced speed. This speed is defined as 1 per engine. If only 1 engine is being used, and it is in the 'Slow Zone', the speed will be set to the minimum of 1.5.
The third and last parameter looks for the relation between number of Foundations and number of Engines. There are basically three Engine speed settings in Raft, disregarding drifting. Slow sailing (1.5), when a single Engine can push the raft but at minimum speed before stopping completely. Medium speed (2), achieved by using a single Engine on a raft under 100 foundations, or by using 2 Engines in the 'Slow Zone'(201-220 Foundations). High speed (2.5), when a raft has multiple Engines which are successfully sailing the raft. Since Engine speed is additive when running multiple Engines at the same time, high speed is always achieved once the raft is successfully sailing with at least 3 engines, but not if the raft is overburdened.
Uses[edit | edit source]
 - Place on the raft and turn on to sail in a desired direction.
 - Use with a Steering Wheel to fully control direction.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
 - The Engine has a fuel capacity valued at 50, while one Biofuel fills a value of 60. As such, pouring Biofuel directly into the Engine's tanks will waste 10 units of fuel. To prevent this, the player must use a Biofuel Tank.
History[edit | edit source]
