For inflatable dinghies, it is inevitable that water will enter the ship when entering the ocean. After all, the ship's side is not very high, but this problem is not to worry. Inflatable assault boats are known as never wrecking, and even if the ship is filled with water, it will not sink. The hull pontoon has a large storage capacity and a strong buoyancy capability. Generally, if the water in the ship is full of buoyancy, it can be fully withstood. Wet body is a must, this is what makes inflatable dinghy different!
 However, even if it is into the sea, the inflatable dinghies rarely have water inflow. Most of the time, the ocean is gentle, there is not much wind and waves, and there is no need to worry about seawater splashing into the ship. If there is a large wind and waves, the sea water constantly rushes into the ship, first keep calm, because even if the ship is filled with sea water, the buoyancy of the hull can still withstand, the only thing to do is to keep the hull stable. When the ship is filled with water, the gravity will oscillate with the water flow, and in severe cases it may cause the ship to turn over, so it is important to maintain the hull smooth. Note: If water is constantly coming in, there is a drain valve at the end of the assault boat. Open the drain valve so that the seawater can flow out by itself.
The solution after the inflatable rubber boat enters the water;There is no way to solve the problem of the water inflated rubber boat. The only way is to keep the hull balance and open the drain valve. However, there are still some solutions to other problems.
1. When the sea water enters the ship, the clothes will be wet. You can buy a waterproof skirt to ensure that the clothes are not wet and keep warm.
2, you can prepare a water scoop, the ship can be crowded out of the sea water for a long time, to avoid excessive weight loss.
3, due to wave fluctuations will cause the hull to appear high and low, so the sea water can not be drained with water scoop and drain valve, you can spare a sponge to drain the remaining water.
The threat of water ingress is not great, and the biggest safety hazard is to overturn the ship. It is also said above that if the ship is filled with sea water, it will cause the hull to lose weight and overturn. If there is a real overturn, we have to use the following self-rescue methods;
1. When the ship has serious weight loss, first grasp the safety rope first, and when the ship turns over, it will not be taken away by the wind and waves. (Note; be prepared before overturning, not to be crushed by an inflatable rubber boat)
2. Before the wind and waves are fixed, do not try to flip the hull back. You should grab the safety rope and keep the head out of the water.
3. After the wind and waves calmed down, I began to think of ways to flip the boat back and board the ship again. (Note; if it is a person, due to the hull being too heavy, you should give up after trying two times without fruit, to avoid losing too much physical strength)
4, when waiting for the ship again, people need to cooperate well for a long time, press the upper right and press the left upper right to avoid losing weight again.
5. After returning to the ship, if it is scraped off the shore by the wind and waves, please do not try to use the paddle to return to the shore. You should use the communication equipment to call for help and wait for the rescue.
1. Before you enter the sea, you must wear a life jacket and other rescue buoys.
2, must bring the communication equipment, and wrapped in a sealed bag in the underwear, in case you need it from time to time.

Using Trusted Auth on Tableau Server
This article describes how you can use Trusted Auth from Metric Insights to Tableau Server. The procedure includes the following steps:
In Tableau Server you will configure Trusted Authentication. The steps for doing this are covered in this article. Trusted authentication simply means that you have set up a trusted relationship between Tableau Server and the Metric Insights. When Tableau Server receives requests from Metric Insights, Tableau assumes the credentials of the Metric Insights user.
For more detailed information on Trusted Authentication in Tableau Server, refer to the Tableau Server Administration Guide.
1. Configure Tableau Server for Trusted Auth
To use Tableau Trusted Auth, each Username created on Metric Insights must have an identical Username in Tableau Server. For example, if you sign in with Username 'Mary Jane' in Metric Insights, then to be able to sign on to Tableau server you must also have the Username 'Mary Jane' in Tableau server.
1.1. Find IP address of Metric Insights instance
You only need to do this for versions of Tableau server 8.0 and prior. For Tableau server 8.1 and beyond, you can use the fully qualified domain name of the Metric Insights instance.
For example, one way to find is from the following:
root@demo:~# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr inet addr:10.146.246.13
root@sandbox:~# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr inet addr:10.192.61.233
1.2. Configure Tableau Server for trusted authentication
Starting with Version 2018.2+ Tableau Server on Windows includes Tableau Services Manager (TSM), which replaces the Configuration Utility and the command line tool.
- For more information, refer to Add Trusted IP Addresses or Host Names to Tableau Server
1.2.1. Tableau Version 2018.2+ (via Tableau Services Manager)
Having signed in to Tableau Services Manager:
- Click [User Identity & Access] on the Configuration tab
- Under Trusted Authentication, for each trusted host, enter the hostname or IP address and then click [Add]
- Optionally, specify Token Length value
- Save Pending Changes
- Click [Pending Changes] that appears at the top of the page
- Apply Changes and Restart
Use Tableau Server command line utilities to add Metric Insights IP address (or fully qualified domain name for Tableau server 8.1 and beyond) to the list of trusted sites.
Using Metric Insights IP address:
D:\Tableau\Tableau Server\10.1\bin>.\tabadmin.bat set wgserver.trusted_hosts "10.146.246.13, 10.192.61.233" D:\Tableau\Tableau Server\10.1\bin>.\tabadmin.bat config D:\Tableau\Tableau Server\10.1\bin>.\tabadmin.bat restart
Using Metric Insights fully qualified domain name:
D:\Tableau\Tableau Server\10.1\bin>.\tabadmin.bat set wgserver.trusted_hosts "mi-dev.mycompany.com, mi-prod.mycompany.com" D:\Tableau\Tableau Server\10.1\bin>.\tabadmin.bat config D:\Tableau\Tableau Server\10.1\bin>.\tabadmin.bat restart
1.3. Verify trusted authentication from Metric Insights for the user
From Metric Insights server run a command line utility to confirm trusted authentication to Tableau server. Use a username that exists on Tableau server. For example, 'admin'
curl -k -dusername=admin _URL_ curl -3 -k -dusername=admin _URL_ curl -ssl -k -dusername=admin _URL_
In the curl request, supply the username (e.g., 'admin') and the url of Tableau server (e.g., _URL_ Any of the above curl request arguments should work.
The above curl request returns -1 from Tableau server if not trusted, and returns non-negative ticket value if trusted. For example,
root@sandbox:~# curl -3 -k -dusername=admin _URL_ -1
root@sandbox:~# curl -3 -k -dusername=admin _URL_ Co_GwPDEfUzAuj1mDO2MH-FE
1.4. Enable Variable ALLOW_TRUSTED_SERVER_USERNAME_OVERRIDE
Assign the "Y" Value to the ALLOW_TRUSTED_SERVER_USERNAME_OVERRIDE Variable to let MI Users be mapped to licensed Tableau Users.
1.5. Specify which Username will be used for Trusted Server Sign-on
1.6. Configure Plugin Connection Profile Parameters (Admin > Data Sources)
- Edit Auth Method
- Configure Auth method to be "trusted"
2. Configure Metric Insights for Tableau Trusted Auth
The following steps show how to configure Metric Insights for Trusted Auth
2.1. Add External Report Type for Tableau Trusted Auth (Admin > Advanced > External Report Types)
- In the Report Type field choose Add New Report Type from the drop-down list.
- Then choose Tableau Single-Sign in the Drill-Down Authentication field.
NOTE: If you already have an existing External Report Type defined for Tableau, you can enable authentication for all reports associated with this type by modifying the Drill Down Authentication setting to Tableau Single-Sign.
Alternatively, you can do this while creating a new External Report (the procedure is described Create a new External Report Type)

Most, if not all, newer hot water tanks come pre-insulated. If you have an older hot water, however, you may find it does not have an insulated shell. If this is the case, installing an insulated jacket to your hot water tank will save you a considerable amount of energy and money.
The principle of the hot water tank is to generate a body of hot water in a short period of time, using your boiler at its most efficient, then storing the water for later use, a bit like boiling your kettle to fill a thermos flask. If the tank is not well insulated, the heat will radiate out and heat everything around it, lowering the temperature of the water within, which in turn will mean the boiler will need to run again to top up the heat. A well insulated tank will keep the water hot for a longer period, therefore reducing the requirement on the boiler.

How can you use "jararaca" in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
 - While proteases, phospholipase A 2 and nucleotidases are responsible for the haemorrhagic lesions induced by Bothrops jararaca venom, most crotalid myotoxins are phospholipases and some exhibit proteolytic activities [ 12 ]. Crotalid snakes have a wide geographical distribution, this may contribute to differences in their venom composition [ 8 ]. Differences in venom composition may play a role in the effectiveness of the medicinal plants used for snakebites.
 - The in vitro myotoxicity of the crotalid venoms venoms ( Bothrops jararaca, Bothrops jararacussu and Lachesis muta ) and myotoxins (bothropstoxin, bothropasin and crotoxin) was neutralised by simultaneous exposure of isolated skeletal muscles to an aqueous extract of Eclipta prostrata or to wedelolactone, stigmaterol and sitosterol.
 - Ethanolic extracts of the aerial parts of Eclipta prostrata (Asteraceae) neutralised the lethal activity of the venom of South American rattlesnake ( Crotalus durissus terrificus ), as well as the myotoxic and haemorrhagic effects of B. jararaca, B. jararacussu and Lachesis muta snake venoms when mixed in vitro before i.p.

How Do Elves Breath?
Generally glittering dust that emanates from mystical creatures is a sign of enchanted magics at work. The most famous is of course Fairy Dust. Something Fairies produce when flying, or utilizing their powers. Elves hard at work, or utilizing magics may produce Elf Dust from their hands. Walking can cause the dust to sparkle from their feet leaving a clear trail behind them. These are in essence enchanted waste products caused by metaphysical energies being exerted in our physical world as metaphysical matter. If this was a perfect paranormal planet made of enchanted energies then dandy dusts of the supernatural sort wouldn't exist!
Most often Elf Dust is a by-product of their respiration process. When exhaled it's invisible most of time. However it accumulates in the surrounding environment. At North Pole City much of the glitter in the snow is actually Elf Dust. The majority of Elves, including Santa Claus's Enchanted Elves, only breath the Helium in our atmosphere. This partly explains their comical low pitched voices. Helium composes a mere 0.000524% of our air as opposed to the Oxygen we breath which makes up 20.946%. Elfin cells paranormally process the Helium, and manufacture an Argon-Neon compound of Ar²Ne³ that is exhaled from their lungs. Scientifically such a compound could never exist but this is the world of the supernatural we're talking about here. That being said the second this rare gas hits the air it immediately breaks down to Argon, and Neon. These gases, famous for causing the glow of Neon lamps, emit a brief glow from the Elves nose, and mouth if viewed in complete darkness. In addition the exhaled Elf Dust will visibly shimmer in that moment as well.
Elf Dust, like Fairy Dust, is a prime ingredient in several magical spells. Elf Dust is used in powerful spells due to it being harder to come by
than the Fairy variety. Elf Dust on it's own can be manipulated to provide temporary powers. In some cases breathing it in, or eating it directly can cause supernatural side effects. Simply carrying it around is thought to bring good luck. Tossing it at an entity of evil often causes some measure of repellent properties. Elf Dust can come in a variety of colors that can produce a plethora of paranormal properties. Santa's Elves produce a multi-colored dust with emphasis on the red, gold, and green glitter. Genuine Elf or Fairy dust always emits it's own luminosity. However the metaphysical energy powering it dissipates over the centuries, and most varieties will dull after 1000 years. If you should come across Elf Dust then use it sparingly because you may never find any again!

What is Moling?
Moling is a trenchless method of laying pipes or cables underground, where a pneumatically driven machine known as an Impact Mole forces a path through the ground, displacing soil rather than removing it.
Impact Moles come in all sizes, from 25mm diameters up to around 63mm in diameter. We will pick the appropriate size Mole for your project, and it tends to be a quick and simple way to install smaller pipes underground.
Impact Moling Specialists
If you have a job that you think might require impact moling, call or email us and we'll be able to discuss whether moling or directional drilling might be able to save you money, time and hassle.
Drilling/Moling vs. Trenching
Even when there are no obstacles in the path where you want to lay pipe, and the condition of the ground doesn't matter too much (e.g. a field), it can still often be quicker and cheaper to use an impact mole rather than an open trench.
We can install anything up to 100 meters in a day, and have achieved up to 20 meters in a single 'shot' (in perfect conditions), but more usually we work to a distance of 10 meters to keep deviation to a minimum.
Advantages of Precision Drilling
 - Minimum disruption (to road, rail or pedestrian traffic)
 - Usually cheaper
 - Usually quicker
 - Relatively environmentally friendly (e.g. reduced CO2 emissions)
 - Small footprint for work (only entry and exit points)
 - Looks extremely professional
 - No scarring

You can clean by yourself your butcher block table tops, of course it will be very important to do because it is helpful very much adding nicer look in your room. Monetarily fabricated butcher block was presented in the 1880s as a sterile option to the conventional utilization of blocks slice from trees on which to cut meats. Hard maple turned into a favored surface for its strength and tight wood grains. Modern butcher block table tops is solid and alright for nourishment readiness and is accessible in sizes from little slicing sheets to full-kitchen table tops.
1. Purge butcher block table tops completely with dish-washing cleanser and water after each one utilization. Wood assimilates nourishment smells, oils and microbes from crude meat making it basic to legitimately clean.
2. Blend a gentle arrangement of 1 tbsp. fade into 1 gallon of warm water. Wash the table top with a clean wipe, flush, then wipe dry to further scrub microscopic organisms.
3. Stains butcher block table top with lemon juice. Flush and wipe dry.

Experiencing strong emotions synchronizes brain activity across individuals, a research team at Aalto University and Turku PET Centre in Finland has revealed.
Human emotions are highly contagious. Seeing others' emotional expressions such as smiles triggers often the corresponding emotional response in the observer. Such synchronization of emotional states across individuals may support social interaction: When all group members share a common emotional state, their brains and bodies process the environment in a similar fashion.
Researchers at Aalto University and Turku PET Centre have now found that feeling strong emotions makes different individuals' brain activity literally synchronous.
The results revealed that especially feeling strong unpleasant emotions synchronized brain's emotion processing networks in the frontal and midline regions. On the contrary, experiencing highly arousing events synchronized activity in the networks supporting vision, attention and sense of touch.

Since the spring of 2020, nursing education has adapted in most countries in Europe and internationally, adopting various strategies.
Creativity has been required to keep nursing students in theoretical and clinical training, to enable them to graduate in the best conditions and be competent to join the nursing teams.
This period was a source of stress for all the actors but also sometimes constituted vicarious experiences.
While this pandemic is still present, its impact should be measured at different levels:
- Educational innovations
- Nurse educator's training
- The evolution of nursing education programs
- Leadership
- Aim of the day
To provide an opportunity for pre-service nurse educators to share their experiences following the COVID wave of spring 2020 in order to identify international trends.
Identify innovations introduced in both the educational and technological fields.

The modeling of residual stresses induced by drilling remains an issue. Indeed, even if some models are under development, their validation is limited by the absence of universal characterization method of residual stresses inside the hole. This paper aims at presenting a procedure to characterize the residual stress profile induced by drilling. The principle is based on the preparation of a reference sample that has been pre-heat treated in order to remove bulk residual stresses without modifying the microstructure. Then the sample is instrumented with strain gauges before being cut in two parts. This enables on one hand to estimate the elastic recovery after the cut and on the other hand to provide an easy access to the investigated surface. Finally a standard X-Ray diffractometer and an electropolishing technique are combined to estimate residual stresses profiles in two directions (circumferential and axial directions). Some numerical analyses are also performed to estimate stress relaxation during thermal treatment and during sample cutting to give a better interpretation of measurements.

Animal Transport
What is an Animal Transport?
Animal transport is the commercial transport of live animals using motor vehicles. This also applies to the movement of animals in Germany as defined by the German Animal Welfare Transport Ordinance. The animal transportation involves the movement of livestock.
The conditions under which the animals may be transported are legally regulated in the European Regulation on the Protection of Animals during Transport. This regulation has been in force for all member states since January 2007. In Germany, the European requirements are implemented by means of a national animal welfare transport ordinance.

Cancels wakeup requests for a specified process, including wakeup
requests scheduled with either the RUN command or the $SCHDWK system
Requires one of the following:
- Ownership of the process
- GROUP privilege to cancel scheduled wakeup requests for
processes in the same group but not owned by you
- WORLD privilege to cancel scheduled wakeup requests for any
process in the system
The name of the node on which the specified process is running.
You cannot specify a node name on a different OpenVMS Cluster system
from the current process.
The name of the process for which wakeup requests are to be canceled.
The process name can have up to 15 alphanumeric characters.
The specified process must be in the same group as the current process.
The CANCEL command cancels scheduled wakeup requests for the specified
The CANCEL command does not delete the specified process. If the
process is executing an image when the CANCEL command is issued for it,
the process hibernates instead of exiting after the image completes
To delete a hibernating process for which wakeup requests have been
canceled, use the STOP command. You can determine whether a subprocess
has been deleted by entering the SHOW PROCESS command with the
A local process name can look like a remote process name. Therefore, if
you specify ATHENS::SMITH, the system checks for a process named
ATHENS::SMITH on the local node before checking node ATHENS for a
process named SMITH.
You also can use the /IDENTIFICATION=pid qualifier to specify a process
name. If you use the /IDENTIFICATION qualifier and the
process-name parameter together, the qualifier overrides the
parameter. If you do not specify either the process-name
parameter or the /IDENTIFICATION qualifier, the CANCEL command cancels
scheduled wakeup requests for the current (that is, the issuing)
Identifies the process by its process identification (PID). You can
omit leading zeros when you specify the PID.
The CANCEL command in this example cancels a wakeup request for a
process named CALENDAR (which continues to hibernate until it is
deleted with the STOP command).
$ RUN/SCHEDULE=14:00 STATUS
%RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 0013012A
The RUN command in this example creates a process to execute the image
STATUS. The process hibernates and is scheduled to be awakened at
14:00. Before the process is awakened, the CANCEL command cancels the
$ RUN/PROCESS_NAME=LIBRA/INTERVAL=1:00 LIBRA
%RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 00130027
$ CANCEL LIBRA
$ STOP LIBRA
The RUN command in this example creates a subprocess named LIBRA to
execute the image LIBRA.EXE at hourly intervals.
Subsequently, the CANCEL command cancels the wakeup request. The
process continues to exist, but in a state of hibernation, until the
STOP command deletes it.

Homeowners report that painting a home's exterior costs an average of $2,911 with a typical range between $1,735 and $4,104. The average price per square foot ranges from $0.50 to $3.50 depending on your location, condition of your exterior and accessibility. Stucco and brick cost an average of $1 per square foot more than vinyl or wood. The average 2,500 square feet home costs an average of $4,000, though it can range from $1,250 to $8,750. House Painting Thornton
In issue #28 of Garth Ennis's comics series Preacher, Jesse Custer is sitting in front of the painting in the MoMA, examining it. In issue #43, the story of which is titled "Christina's World", Jesse relates his visit to the museum to his mother, Christina L'Angell, who explains to him that when she first discovered the painting in a book, she thought Wyeth had painted her own life. In addition, the cover to issue #43 by artist Glenn Fabry is a variation of Christina's World, with Christina in the role of Anna Christina Olson. House Painting Thornton
The woman in the painting is Anna Christina Olson (3 May 1893 – 27 January 1968). She probably suffered from Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, a genetic polyneuropathy.[2][3] Wyeth was inspired to create the painting when he saw her crawling across a field while he was watching from a window in the house. He had a summer home in the area and was on friendly terms with Olson, using her and her younger brother as the subjects of paintings from 1940 to 1968. Olson was the inspiration and subject of the painting but she was not the primary model; Wyeth's wife Betsy posed as the torso of the painting. Olson was 55 at the time that Wyeth created the work.[4]
Exterior paint prep projects often involve multi-story work. This means you're going to need a ladder or even a scaffold to boost your reach while supporting you safely. Setting up a ladder or scaffold outside is trickier than an interior application. This is because you'll need to take the stability of the ground into account. A ladder which stands steady on a concrete driveway may sink into soft dirt as soon as you put your weight onto it. Or even worse: that ladder may not move at all until you're 10 feet or more in the air.

See this example for iterating an integer generic list:
open System.Collections.Generic
let genList = new List()
for x in genList do
 printf "%d" x

match Seq.tryfind ((=) "") caseList with
 None -> print_string "didn't find it"
 | Some s -> printfn "found it: %s" s
share|improve this answer
A C# list is called a ResizeArray in F#. To find an element within the ResizeArray you can use "tryfind" or "find". TryFind returns an option type (Option), which means if the element is not found, you'll get None. Find on the other hand raises an exception if it doesn't find the element you're looking for
let foo() =
 match CaseList |> ResizeArray.tryfind (fun x -> x.caseObj = "imlookingforyou") with
 |None -> print-string ""notfound
 |Some(case ) -> printfn "found %s" case
let foo()
 let case = ResizeArray.find (fun x -> x.caseObj = "imlookingforyou")
 printfn "found %s" case
 | _ -> print_string "not found"
share|improve this answer
That kind of list is also an IEnumerable so you can still use F#'s for elt in list do notation:
for caseObj in CaseList do
 if caseObj.CaseId = "" then
share|improve this answer
Using tryfind to match against a field in a record:
type foo = {
 id : int;
 value : string;
let foos = [{id=1; value="one"}; {id=2; value="two"}; {id=3; value="three"} ]
// This will return Some foo
List.tryfind (fun f -> f.id = 2) foos
// This will return None
List.tryfind (fun f -> f.id = 4) foos

The Tornado of 1985 - Tornado Memories
On May 31, 1985, a series of tornadoes hit Northeastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, leaving behind a wide path of death and devastation. Homes and businesses were destroyed and it was many years before recovery efforts were completed.
The Local History and Genealogy Center of the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library has started a collection of photographs, newspaper articles and reminiscences from those who experienced the disaster. Our goal is to create a centralized collection of information relating to the tornado, so that future generations will have access to the events of that night more than 20 years ago, and the courage and community that arose in the hours, days and weeks following.
See a sample of photographs from our larger collection at the Photographic Memories page. Read what others remember about the Tornado of 1985 at our Memories From Around the Valley page. (A complete collection of written memories - including submissions not available online - is on file in the Local History and Genealogy Center.)

Rita Colwell, Public Health Champion, Wins Stockholm Prize
Dr. Rita Cowell. Photo courtesy of University of Maryland.
Rita Colwell, Ph.D., distinguished professor from the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health in the United States, has been named the 2010 Stockholm Water Prize Laureate.
Colwell's pioneering research on the prevention of waterborne infectious diseases has helped protect the health and lives of millions.
Colwell, 76, is widely recognized as one of this century's most influential voices in science, technology, and policy associated with water and health. She has made exceptional contributions to control the spread of cholera, a waterborne pathogen that infects 3 to 5 million people and leads to an estimated 120,000 deaths each year. Through her groundbreaking research, innovations and decades of scientific leadership, she has defined our current understanding of the ecology of infectious diseases and developed the use of advanced technologies to halt their spread. Her work has established the basis for environmental and infectious disease risk assessment used around the world.
"Dr. Rita Colwell's numerous seminal contributions toward solving the world's water and water-related public health problems, particularly her work to prevent the spread of cholera, is of utmost global importance," noted the Stockholm Water Prize Nominating Committee in its citation.
Colwell has shown that certain bacteria, including the causative agent for cholera, can be present in natural environments in a dormant stage that could revert to an infectious state under the proper conditions. As a result of her work, scientists are now able to link changes in the natural environment to the spread of disease. Colwell was the first scientist to research the impacts of climate change on the spread of infectious diseases. She has also developed models to track and predict disease outbreaks, using remote sensing technology and satellite models.
H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden will formally present Dr. Colwell with the 2010 Stockholm Water Prize on September 9 during the 2010 World Water Week in Stockholm. The Stockholm Water Prize is a global award presented annually by the Stockholm International Water Institute. The Stockholm Water Prize Laureate receives US$150,000 and a crystal sculpture specially designed by Orrefors.

Spinning globe
The source code to animate a spinning globe is published on Github. The sphere is approximated by hexagons (and few pentagons). By assigning a color to each hexagon, we can color-code the globe to represent the ocean / landmass of the earth, or even different countries.
We can fake a diffusion equation on the sphere by simply updating a cell's value based upon the neighboring cells. For a full diffusion equation, the areas of the cells would need to be included. For this animation, I did not consider this yet. Since I could not get my hands on an elevation profile, I only distinguish between landmass an ocean and run the diffusion equation on these values.
The update rule then looks like this.
This update need to be applied in every iteration, resulting in the following code (including plotting).
This results in the following animation (or versions of it).
Game of Life
It is easy to implement a spherical Game of Life version. However, it is hard to find appropriate update rules. The idea is, that the (boolean) state of a cell is being updated based upon the states of the neighbors. If the neighbors are alive, they bring life to the cell. If too many neighbors are alive, a cell dies. A possible implementation can look like this. Here you can be creative.
We can initialize the states randomly as True or False. Some fine-tuning is required to find a good update rule.


for threads belonging to the same process; maybe we just need to generalize this "enhanced" highlighting behavior to user-defined groups.
 [Khouzam] Yes, this is probably an obvious thing for groups, now that we have it for the current Multicore Visualizer.
 7. The Multicore Visualizer should have the ability to zoom, and based on the zoom level, the view could automatically add more information because there is more space available. So the level of detail will increase with the zoom level
 [WRS] True -- the Multicore Visualizer already handles being made too small by omitting text labels and other detail. We can also go in the other direction and add more detail if we are given more real-estate. I wouldn't go too far in this direction, though, because then you'll wind up with people complaining about having to keep zooming in and out to see more and less detail. We might want to consider instead putting some information on separate, selectable "overlays" or "layers", so that one can select what's needed without having to make the visualizer bigger to accommodate it.
 [Khouzam] Valid point. I thought automatically adding more information as the user zoomed-in could be user-friendly. The "layer" concept should come first. Automatically turning on layers is something we could then discuss.
 - A concept of grid-in-grid would allow separating each Multicore Visualizer element into sub-elements like a box for each register, or variable. As an example, this could be applied to the zoom level, where we could zoom out of the Multicore Visualizer of a single chip and then show a Visualization of many chips, each one showing a grid of cores as a sub-element.
 [WRS] We might also allow multiple Visualizer views, as someone suggested at the EclipseCon talk, and then have a "Processor Visualizer" view, so that one can click around in the Multicore Visualizer, and see more detail about the currently selected cpu/core in the processor visualizer -- again, as a way to avoid the user having to constantly zoom in and out to see the necessary detail.
 [Khouzam] That sounds good. I'm a little worried that people wouldn't realize they could do this by using multiple views though. But I like that one view could show a higher level, and then using the synchronization with the debug view, a second view could be 'zoomed' on the currently selected core. Then, with Pin&Clone, you could even have multiple views, zoomed on different cores at the same time.
 8. Synchronized resume and step must be supported in the Visualizer view. A synchronized resume or step is performed on multiple cores/processes/threads while keeping the progression in lock-step where each entity progresses at the exact same ratio.
 [WRS] If it's like synchronized resume of multiple threads, that might be a back-end/debugger feature, and below the visualizer's radar.
 [Khouzam] You are right that the actual implementation of the synchronized resume/step must be performed by the back-end. But CDT will need to provide UI to support this operation.
 - The concept of a leader for a synchronized operation is necessary. The leader is the entity part of the synchronized operation that will indicate when the operation has completed. For example, if two threads are stepped in a synchronized manner, the selected leader thread is the one for which the step must finish to indicate the operation is done.
 - The Visualizer view should support soft-groups. A soft-group is a group that is defined for a single operation; for example, a drag-selection or a multi-selection define a soft-group. Soft-groups needs a way to select a leader for synchronized operations. For multi-select, the last selection could be the leader. For drag-selection, the user could specify the leader by un-selecting an entity and then re-selecting it, making it the last one part of the selection.
 9. Building blocks of the view should not be limited to cores, but should be a generic building block that the user can name, set the size, specify the content. The content needs to be based on what the backend knows: "fundamental building blocks", i.e., threads, cores, chips, etc.
 - The Visualizer view could have a concept of widgets which already exists or can be created.
 - Configuration may need to be done at different levels. This means that some configuration would be done by the chip provider, e.g., the number of cores to show, other hardware entries to show; while other configuration could be done by the installer, e.g., which subset of cores to actually show the team of developers; and even more configuration at the user-level, e.g., which register to show
 [WRS] Again, is this extending the Multicore Visualizer, or providing "building block" support for custom views in the framework? We'd need some examples of what people would like to achieve to know where this building block / configuration support should properly live.
 [Khouzam] This is an ambitions and vague requirement. I suggest we revisit it once we have better support for customizations and layers.
 10. When doing drag-selection, it would be convenient to also drag-deselect (DONE)
Comments above from:
 - [WRS] Bill Swanson, Tilera Corporation
 - [Khouzam] Marc Khouzam, Ericsson
Multi-chip debugging
The CDT community is mostly focused in enabling multi-core debugging to the CDT. However, support for multi-chip debugging would also be interesting where you have chips->cores->processes->threads. Current solution will be to use multiple debug sessions (multiple GDBs). We will need GDB support to have a better integrated solution using a single GDB; using a single GDB would allow, for example, to support synchronous control of different chips.
Watch view
A new 'Watch' view would be a good addition to the CDT. This view (see 'watch' command in unix) would provide a way for the user to request that a console command or set of commands be executed at specific times such as:
 - after every state-changing operation
 - at a periodic interval
 - on particular events (suspend, running)
 - based on filters (when thread1 stops)
 - watchpoints
 - catchpoints
 - breakpoints
 - etc
It may be good to look at what is provide by the IAR Debugger where it is apparently possible to have a watch window which can be used to watch expressions which are updated in a specifiable interval.
 1. This concept could be extended to eclipse operations, like refreshing a view automatically on those triggers
 2. We could mimic a breakpoint condition/commands to allow the user to 'run a script' whenever one of the above triggers occurs. This script could be a gdb python script
 3. The view should always refresh if the context changes, unless it is pinned
 4. This watch view would handle its output in the following way:
 1. There should be a standard scrolling mode
 2. There should also be a fixed size output that only shows the last output.We could then "page up" to jump to the previous output repeatedly.
 3. We should have a toggle to choose between the two modes
 5. Another enhancement would be to highlight the changes from the new output compared to the previous output. This would allow the user to quickly see what changes. A nice way of showing change dynamically is firefox' javascript debugger who shows the new html code written in red to indicate what the single step actually created in html. This could be disabled by the user if the data is too different.
Enhancements to the Modules view
The modules view is used to show the list of currently used dynamically linked libraries. The view is updated whenever a new library is loaded or an existing one is unloaded (although there is currently a bug that makes the update not happen). The view also shows information about the libraries such as file location, base address and size. Below are some requirements for the Modules view.
Note that the Watch view described above may be more valuable than the below enhancements
 1. The view should be context-aware and show what is currently loaded based on the current context (process/core)
 2. Although modules can change when a process/core is running, it only needs to be refreshed once the process/core stops, just like for variables and such.
 3. Refresh of the view should be based on GDB's new MI events: =lib-loaded and =lib-unloaded
 4. Since the modules view is so simple for GDB, as to repeatedly issue the 'info sharedlib' command, the current behavior of the view could be replaced by the
new proposed Watch view which would send the 'info sharedlib' command upon the proper triggers.
Enhancements to Disassembly view
The Disassemby view shows the running code as disassembled by GDB. The view allows navigating through that disassembled code, to set breakpoints/tracepoints, and to show the disassembled code interleaved with source code. Below are some requirements relevant to the Disassembly view.
 1. Should support different memory spaces and allow the user to choose which memory space to show the disassembly for.
 2. Instructions that correspond to the same source code line should be identified. An example is shading them to the same color, and/or a vertical bar in the margin (see ARM product http://inf

Surely the coconut must contain some powerful plant growth boosting properties inside to be able to do this. Imagine if we could somehow harness them? …Imagine if a pure, sustainable ingredient like coconut water could potentially change the way we grow?
Well, it turns out that research and horticulturists have proven that it absolutely can! Not only does coconut water speed up growth by up to 169%, it also grows healthier fruits and vegetables.
Clinical studies show that coconut water has been proven to be so effective for boosting growth across a variety of plant types that even labs use it to help their tissue cultured plants grow faster.
The more you learn about how coconut water affects plant growth, the more you'll question why you haven't heard about this before. That's because other coconut waters don't work for plant growth, as their beneficial phytonutrients have been destroyed by pasteurisation. This is why we created Groconut - a product that is harvested and processed differently to other coconut waters to grow better plants with proven results!

Generate an id for imported data (Excel)
Post by leven.steve »
I was hoping that importing data would auto-generate/increment the ID column but it doesn't (unless I'm mistaken?)
So I wrote this function in Excel VBA to generate a random string for the "id".
Usage: (in Excel column)
Function MakeApperyID(length As Integer) As String
' create a id string of "length" chars using 0-9 and a-f only
' in keeping with Appery DB _id format you could call this
' with length 4 to create a starting 4 char sequence in a fixed cell location
' and then add that to a length 20 call to create the remainder of the ID
Code: Select all
 Dim Result
 Dim i, j, k
 Dim ch
 Randomize (Now)
 Result = ""
 For i = 1 To length
 k = CInt(Rnd()) 'zero or one to decide on letter or number
 If k = 0 Then
 j = CInt(Rnd() * 5)
 ch = Chr(j + 97)
 j = CInt(Rnd() * 9)
 ch = Chr(j + 48)
 End If
 Result = Result + ch
 MakeApperyID = Result
End Function
Feel free to use, amend and feedback any useful changes.

The monitor periodically reports the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) bind and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) ping time from each domain controller that is an operations master.
Associated rules generate alerts if a certain number of consecutive errors occur during these tests for a given operations master. This monitor tests the primary domain controller (PDC) emulator operations master every time it runs. The other operations masters are tested less frequently (as adjusted by a script parameter), unless an error occurred the last time a test was performed.

Remove the black line surrounding text in opencv

I am trying to remove the black lines surrounding the text if present any. My purpose is to just have enough portion of the image to extract each character in it. The additional black lines are noise when i am trying to extract characters.
I have tried using floodfill in opencv but the image contains some white pixels before the black line starts in the upper left corner. So it hasn't been fruitful. I tried cropping by means of finding contours but even that does not work. This is the original image
Original Image

img = cv2.imread('./Cropped/22.jpg')
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
_,thresh = cv2.threshold(gray,1,255,cv2.THRESH_BINARY)
contours,hierarchy = cv2.findContours(thresh,cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL,cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
cnt = contours[0]
crop = img[y:y+h,x:x+w]
cv2.imshow('Cropped Image',crop)
and using floodfill
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
 # threshold the gray image to binarize, and negate it
 gray = cv2.bitwise_not(gray)
 bw = cv2.adaptiveThreshold(gray, 255, cv2.ADAPTIVE_THRESH_MEAN_C, \
 cv2.THRESH_BINARY, 15, -2)
 # find external contours of all shapes
 contours,h = cv2.findContours(bw, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE)
 # create a mask for floodfill function, see documentation
 h,w,_ = img.shape
 mask = np.zeros((h+2,w+2), np.uint8)
 # determine which contour belongs to a square or rectangle
 for cnt in contours:
 poly = cv2.approxPolyDP(cnt, 0.02*cv2.arcLength(cnt,True),True)
 if len(poly) == 4:
 # if the contour has 4 vertices then floodfill that contour with black color
 cnt = np.vstack(cnt).squeeze()
 _,binary,_,_ = cv2.floodFill(bw, mask, tuple(cnt[0]), 0)
 # convert image back to original color
 binary = cv2.bitwise_not(binary)

results in the two cases are as follows

OpenCV's contours will work if you filter the contours by aspect ratio. In the image below the 2nd from the left is thresholded at about 150 using binaryInverse type thresholding. There is a function called boundingRect that will give the upright rect of a contour. Define the contour aspect ratio as rect.width / rect.height and only keep contours with AR < 1 since numbers are tall. This gives the 3rd image from the left. The last is just inverted.

Sitting Comfortably? Exploring Asian Aspirations and Professional Identity
The dental profession has recently undergone a number of radical changes, most notably with the introduction of the dental contract, which debuted in April 2006. Such a dynamic shift has been met with mixed responses and questions are currently being raised surrounding the professional and personal values of newly qualified dentists (The Patients' Association, 2008).
In turn, concerns are raised about levels of preparedness within higher education. As a community of educators, it is important for us to realise the ambitions of those we train to be professionals as we are somewhat responsible for instilling a sense of proficiency within them (Macfarlane, 2004). According to the higher education statistics agency, (HESA, 2006/07), predominantly large numbers of those studying to become dentists are of South Asian heritage and female. It is suggested that culture, in its broadest sense, has a significant impact upon their notion of professional identity.
Preliminary research is presented in this paper which highlights the aspirations of a sample group of dental students, from the South Asian community with respect to their profession. Initial findings reflect the discussions introduced by Bordieu (1984) on cultural capital and moreover its prevalent influence in terms of making professional choices.

Governors are on every single air cooled engine, from lawn mowers and edgers to generators and one man augers. They are Mechanical and Pneumatic. Pneumatic governors are powered by an external air vane, while mechanical governors are run by a gear and spool assembly inside the engine. This page will explain how to adjust the mechanical governor on Briggs and Stratton and Tecumseh Engines.
Governors should never need adjusting, unless the governor arm is removed or tampered with. But in the event that they do need adjusting, here is how you do it. A rule of thumb is the governor shaft should be turned in the same direction the governor arm turns to open the throttle wide open. For example, on Tecumseh TVS, LEV, TVM, TVXL and other similar engines, the governor arm rocks in the counter clockwise direction to close the throttle to idle. To adjust the governor, you would loosen the screw on the bottom of the governor arm and push the governor arm so the throttle is wide open. Then you would turn the bottom "clip" (which is connected to the governor shaft) counter clockwise. This will set the governor shaft on top of the governor spool. Now tighten the screw.
To adjust the governor on a 5 HP Briggs and Stratton horizontal shaft engine, you would loosen the nut on the governor arm and push the governor arm down, clockwise. Then you would turn the governor shaft clockwise also and tighten the nut.

Archaeologists have discovered the wreck of a ship that was part of a fleet sent to invade Japan by the Mongol ruler Kublai Khan, more than 700 years ago.
The wooden ship was found off the southern island of Kyushu, a metre under the seabed.
The hull, which is almost complete, and the keel are the most intact remains of a Mongol wreck found in Japanese waters.
Archaeologists say it was part of an invasion fleet carrying 140,000 Mongol soldiers in 1281.
Researchers from the University of the Ryukyus in Okinawa used ultrasonic equipment to detect the remains of the ship.
The wood on the hull was painted whitish grey and held together by nails. Bricks, weapons and other instruments were found on board.
The BBC reports the Japanese have always attributed their victory to storms that wrecked the Mongol fleets during two attempted invasions in 1274 and 1281.
They concluded that Japan was protected from invasion by a divine wind, (Kamikaze), which was invoked in World War II to inspire pilots to launch suicide attacks on allied ships.

Cabinetmaking is a specialty area within the field of carpentry and building trades. This field of study includes basic woodworking as well as more advanced cabinetmaking and furniture-making techniques. Cabinetmaking can be done within a production, manufacturing environment, or as an individual artisan specializing in custom design and building.
SUNY Delhi offers a one-year Cabinetmaking certificate as part of the Carpentry and Building Trades curriculum. This certificate program can be taken by itself, or it can be combined with further instruction in Carpentry to yield an associate's degree. This program's objective is to educate students in both the theory and practice of woodworking and cabinetmaking. The program includes extensive laboratory hours during which students develop and practice the skills of the cabinetmaker.
Students who enroll in the Carpentry and Building Trades associate's degree programs have the option of including one or two semesters of woodworking/cabinetmaking in the second year of their program.
The job titles associated with graduates of the Cabinetmaking certificate program are:
There are career opportunities in residential construction, in sub-contracting, and in sole ownership of a cabinetmaking shop. Students who continue on for the associate's degree increase their options for employment in the carpentry and construction fields.
Graduates of the associate's degree programs also have options for further study at the bachelor's degree level. For example, the College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) at Syracuse offers a B.S. degree in Wood Products Technology.
A related career option would be to transfer to a school with a Technology Education or a Vocational Education bachelor's degree, which would lead to a teaching career at the high school level. In New York State, two schools that offer this degree are SUNY Oswego and SUNY Buffalo.

10 Facts About 1950s Singapore That Only Your Ah Ma Will Remember
Singapore In The 50s
Articles about '90s kids' are far too many online. Today, we're going to throw all the way back to a time when our grandparents were young -- the 50s.
Shirtless children running around kampungs defined the spirit of the 50s. It was a decade when people had no care about the paper chase or the 5Cs. The children played bare-foot in the fields while adults crouched at the steps of their attap houses and work was just for feeding the mouths under the same zinc roof.
The 50s also saw the rise of cultural icons that eventually shaped Singapore. Show your grandparents this list and you might be wowed by their memories from pre-independence Singapore.
1. We had privately-owned zoos with 50 cent entrance fees
1950s singapore
1950s singapore
The owner Mr Tong, taking care of his rhino.
1950s singapore
The west of Singapore has been always the go-to place for wildlife sanctuaries. Long before the Singapore Zoo was the Singapore Miniature Zoo at Pasir Panjang. You might not think much of wildlife preservation in post-war Singapore but the Singapore Miniature Zoo had not only sun bears and lions -- they even had penguins!
Ticketing fees were also cheaper in the past with adults paying 50 cents and children a mere 20 cents.
2. Magnolia's iconic pyramid-shaped milk packets
1950s singapore
This ought to be the fondest memory any child in the 50s had. Free milk was given out in the schools in the quirky shape of a pyramid, unlike the usual rectangular cartons that we now see everywhere. This unique and iconic packaging is one everyone soon started associating with Magnolia.
3. A swimming pool that becomes women-only on Tuesdays
1950s singapore
At least 120 Singaporeans visited the pool every day in the 50s. Source
1950s singapore
Being the second public swimming pool in Singapore, it is no wonder that Yan Kit Swimming Pool was always crowded with locals escaping the heat. It was often so jam-packed that there wasn't any room to swim laps and visitors were limited to spending just two hours there.
On Tuesdays, the pool was only opened for ladies who found it immodest to be in their swimsuits among strangers.
4. A scheme for children to save money
1950s singapore
10-cents = one plate of mee rebus. Source
1950s children were taught to save money by buying stamps for 10 cents each, and sticking them on a School Savings Scheme card. Once they've stuck 20 stamps onto the card (for $2 in total), they could trade the card in at the post office and their bank account would be credited with the money. If students had at least $5 in their account at the end of the year, they'd even get an extra $5 from the government.
This was to encourage the habit of saving in small doses!
5. There was a legit reason to squat on chairs in coffee shops
1950s singapore
There's no better reason to squat on a chair than this. Source
Back when spitting phlegm and chewing tobaccos were everyday habits of the Singaporean uncle, avoiding goops of saliva was easier said than done.
1950s singapore
A floor flooded with spit is not a good sight. Source
By placing vases-like containers called spittoons under coffee tables, it wasn't long before people realised that they should start crossing their legs or squatting on the chairs to keep the floor clean.
Maybe this was how we mastered the Asian squat.
6. The Magnolia Ice-Cream man
1950s singapore
No child can withstand the bell of the ice cream man. Source
The ice cream man is a familiar sight for us even till today. As Singaporeans, our love for ice-cream in bread is one that has endeared through the generations and through the decades.
In the days of your ah ma, it took on the form of a peddler on his motorcycle with a yellow "ship" connected to it. In the "ship" was the answer to surviving Singapore's weather: rectangular blocks of Magnolia's classic ice-cream. Yasss.
7. Mass weddings were really common
1950s singaproe
Imagine getting married together with your clique. Source
In those days, being married alongside other couples was a common occasion. In the different dialect guilds and clubs, over 10 couples could get married all on a single day. This trend lasted till the 70s and there were even instances where they'd all go on their honeymoon together!
1950s singapore
8. The "OG" of TCM - the "Koh Yok" man
1950s singapore
They're literally 'doctors' on the street corner. Source
If you ever got a bruise and your ah ma asks you to rub some strange-smelling liquid on it, chances are that she learnt that technique from the koh yok man -- the poor man's doctor.
The koh yok man's medical knowledge was not acknowledged by Western medicine but has a long tradition stemming from legit TCM. They struck out a living on the streets by providing medical attention for those who can't afford private doctors. With thwacks here and there, they could even relieve sprains or even joint dislocations.
9. $1 circus shows with wild animals
1950s singapore
Being in a cage filled with wild cats must've been nerve-wrecking.
1950s singapore
The tightrope has been a classic act ever since the first circuses. Source
Wild animals in circuses might have been banned in Singapore for more than 10 years but in the 50s, it was all the rage. The Big Tops can be found setting up in any vacant plot of land with the performing animals kept in cages outside them and there'd be 2 shows running every day.
Tigers jumping through hoops, tightrope walkers and gymnasts -- there was entertainment for everyone even in those turbulent times.
10. "Burning the midnight oil" was literal
1950s singapore
A common sight in families of the 50s. Source
This was probably the one thing from their past that hardworking students and busy adults would remember of their sleepless nights. By burning the kerosene-soaked wicks, everyone in the family would be able to work through the night in an otherwise dark home.
The scarcity of electricity in those days meant that every night of 'burning midnight oil' ran the risk of being a fire hazard.
The 1950s Singapore we will never see
Long gone are the circuses and fear of kicking over spittoons but these are nostalgic elements of our grandparents' past that you can talk about to see their eyes sparkle. Talking about the 50s would awaken the same nostalgia in our grandparents as it does for us when someone talks about waking up at 9am to catch our favourite cartoon programmes.
Collect exclusive Magnolia's 80th anniversary memorabilia
1950s singapore
A household name in Singapore since the introduction of the pyramid-shaped pack in the 1950s, Magnolia's been the brand that comes to mind whenever a generation of Singaporeans wanted to buy fresh milk.
With its iconic packaging and involvement in the School Milk Programme, it is no wonder that till today, our ah gong and ah ma remember the classic brand as a major part of their childhood. It was, after all, on a daily basis, that Magnolia brought the nutrition game for the children up a notch.
1950s singapore
Through the years, Magnolia has embedded itself in Singapore's history with its influence, stretching from the ice cream uncles in the streets to being a complement to our breakfasts.
1950s singapore

What Does The Name Erasmus Mean?
1 Answers
Yooti Bhansali Profile
Yooti Bhansali answered
The name 'Erasmus' is a name for a male originating from the Greek word 'erasmios' which means 'beloved'.
Saint Erasmus was a martyr from the third century who is regarded as the patron saint by sailors.
Erasmus was also the name of a Dutch scholar, humanist and theologian who was prominent during the Renaissance period. His writing was in pure Latin form. Although he was a Roman Catholic all his life, he was a stern critic of what he regarded as the excesses of the Roman Catholic Church. He made new Latin as well as Greek editions of the New Testament.
Martin Luther's movement started in the year after the New Testament was published and greatly tested the strength of Erasmus's character. Erasmus admired Luther, but was averse to partisanship. His hesitation to support Luther led Luther that Erasmus was a coward or purposeless.
Answer Question


Star (Clan)
Map Designation of a Clan Star
A Star is the basic building block of Clan military forces. It consists of five Points working together to provide the most firepower in a unit with the smallest logistical footprint.[1][2] A Star is commanded by a Star Commander.
BattleMech Stars[edit]
This formation consists of five OmniMechs or, in the case of garrison and some second-line units, five standard BattleMechs. At the Star level 'Mechs are organized together based on capabilities; grouping together 'Mechs of wildly varying weights, speeds, and offensive proficiencies is generally seen as an invitation for the enemy to divide them in the field.[3][4] However while Stars are defined by the weight composition of their Points in a way similar to 'Mech ratings - Light, Medium, Heavy and Assault - each type need not contain only 'Mechs of that weight rating. The following table shows shows the various compositions that are typically used. It is unusual for a Star to contain all four 'Mech weight ratings, and so is omitted here.[5]
Star Weight Composition
Light Star Medium Star Heavy Star Assault Star
5 Light 1 Light, 4 Medium 2 Medium, 3 Heavy 1 Medium, 2 Heavy, 2 Assault
4 Light, 1 Medium 5 Medium 1 Medium, 4 Heavy 4 Heavy, 1 Assault
3 Light, 2 Medium 4 Medium, 1 Heavy 5 Heavy 3 Heavy, 2 Assault
2 Light, 2 Medium, 1 Heavy 3 Medium, 2 Heavy 1 Medium, 3 Heavy, 1 Assault 2 Heavy, 3 Assault
AeroSpace Stars[edit]
Clan OmniFighter Stars consist of ten fighters and differ from 'Mech Stars in that mixed designs and weight classes are common. Medium-weight fighters dominate among the Clans' toumans along with lower-end heavyweight designs, although not to the exclusion of other weight types. Clan Naval Stars will contain five or six vessels, either WarShips, JumpShips or DropShips, often with an additional command vessel[3][4]
Armor Stars[edit]
Armor Stars consist of ten vehicles, but due to the Clans' prejudice against conventional armor these formations are commonly found in solahma or, more rarely, garrison units. Light and heavy-weight types are preferred, while medium-weight vehicles are particularly rare.[6][7]
Infantry Stars[edit]
Clan Infantry Stars can consist of either Elementals or conventional infantry. Elemental Stars consist of 25 Elementals and play a far more prominent role in Clan warfare than conventional infantry thanks to their Battle Armor. Conventional infantry Stars consist of 125 soldiers, but are largely solahma or freeborn units and rarely incorporated into the standard Clan order of battle.[6][7]
Mixed Stars[edit]
In general Stars which mix different unit types see their overall combat effectiveness severely weakened. One of the few exceptions to this rule is the strategic command Star, a formation first pioneered by Clan Wolf. It combines four Points of either OmniMechs or Elementals with an AeroSpace Point for reconnaissance and escort duty. The success of this formation has caused other Clans to adopt it, albeit in more limited numbers.[1][2]

Honey Tangerine Chicken
Honey tangerines, which are also known as Murcott oranges, are only grown in the state of Florida. The actual origin of this fruit is a bit of a mystery, but what we do know about it is that is a hybrid between the tangerine and sweet orange, also known as a tangor. It is thought that a man by the name of Charles Murcott Smith is the developer of the fruit, hence its name. He was a manager of a nursery located in Bayview, Florida. Charles is believed to have created the honey tangerines in the 1920s. Also, supposedly, involved in the development of the honey tangerine are J. Ward Smith and W. T. Swindle. Another name for the honey tangerines is Murcott orange, but it's mostly sold under the name honey tangerine. The fruit comes in various colors, but most of the time it has an orange red color and sometimes it's more of a yellow orange. It all depends on the winter conditions that year; if it was a cold winter, they have a darker orange and during warmer months, they have a lighter, brighter yellow orange.
The reason why the honey tangerines got their name was because of its sweet taste, perhaps the sweetest tangerine there is – usually compared to the sugar levels of the honeybell, also known as the Minneola tangelo. The juice of honey tangerines is mainly used in the kitchen for baking desserts like orange cakes. Some even put it in their salad dressing and croutons. Others put it in during the last minute of their stir fly to give it a citrusy taste. Honey tangerines are only grown in Florida between January and April. The best ones to pick are those that are a bit heavy, shiny and smooth. Those that are light may not be as juicy. Don't buy any that have green spots or wrinkled skin. Honey tangerines are known to spoil quickly, so make sure you plan to eat them fairly quickly before getting them; don't buy too many at a time if you don't think they'll be consumed in a timely manner. The average honey tangerine is small to medium in size. (Source:
I had purchased a few of these tangerines and still had one left. So I decided to just cut it up and make a sauce with it. It was very good. A little on the sweet side but not overly so and it was perfect over some brown rice.
Honey Tangerine Chicken
4-6oz. Boneless Chicken Breasts, cubed
2 tbsp. Flour
1 Honey Tangerine, peeled, segmented and cut in half
1/4 c. Honey
3/4 c. Low Sodium Chicken Broth
3/4 c. Orange Juice
1 tsp. Dill
2 tbsp. Canola Oil
In large pot or Dutch oven, heat oil and saute chicken until it is cooked through. Add flour and mix. Next, add the chicken broth, orange juice, honey, tangerine pieces and dill. Bring to a boil, then let simmer for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve alone or over rice or noodles. Serves 4.
Points+=9pts (assuming all of the sauce is used and divided equally into four parts)
