Locating an Acoustic Beacon with a Passive Sonar System
This example shows how to simulate a passive sonar system. A stationary underwater acoustic beacon is detected and localized by a towed passive array in a shallow-water channel. The acoustic beacon transmits a 10 millisecond pulse at 37.5 kilohertz every second, and is modeled as an isotropic projector. The locator system tows a passive array beneath the surface, which is modeled as a uniform linear array. Once the acoustic beacon signal is detected, a direction of arrival estimator is used to locate the beacon.
Define the Underwater Channel
In this example, the acoustic beacon is located at the bottom of a shallow water channel, which is 200 meters deep. A passive array is towed beneath the surface to locate the beacon.
First, create a multipath channel to transmit the signal between the beacon and passive array. Consider ten propagation paths including the direct path and reflections from the top and bottom surfaces. The paths generated by
isopaths will be used by the multipath channel,
channel, to simulate the signal propagation.
propSpeed = 1520; channelDepth = 200; OperatingFrequency = 37.5e3; isopaths = phased.IsoSpeedUnderwaterPaths('ChannelDepth',channelDepth,... 'NumPathsSource','Property','NumPaths',10,'PropagationSpeed',propSpeed); channel = phased.MultipathChannel('OperatingFrequency',OperatingFrequency);
Define the Acoustic Beacon and Passive Array
Acoustic Beacon Waveform
Define the waveform emitted by the acoustic beacon. The waveform is a rectangular pulse having a 1 second repetition interval and 10 millisecond width.
prf = 1; pulseWidth = 10e-3; pulseBandwidth = 1/pulseWidth; fs = 2*pulseBandwidth; wav = phased.RectangularWaveform('PRF',prf,'PulseWidth',pulseWidth,... 'SampleRate',fs); channel.SampleRate = fs;
Next, define the acoustic beacon, which is located 1 meter above the bottom of the channel. The acoustic beacon is modeled as an isotropic projector. The acoustic beacon waveform will be radiated to the far field.
projector = phased.IsotropicProjector('VoltageResponse',120); projRadiator = phased.Radiator('Sensor',projector,... 'PropagationSpeed',propSpeed,'OperatingFrequency',OperatingFrequency); beaconPlat = phased.Platform('InitialPosition',[5000; 2000; -199],... 'Velocity',[0; 0; 0]);
Passive Towed Array
A passive towed array will detect and localize the source of the pings, and is modeled as a five-element linear array with half-wavelength spacing. The passive array has velocity of 1 m/s in the y-direction. The array axis is oriented parallel to the direction of travel.
hydrophone = phased.IsotropicHydrophone('VoltageSensitivity',-150); array = phased.ULA('Element',hydrophone,... 'NumElements',5,'ElementSpacing',propSpeed/OperatingFrequency/2,... 'ArrayAxis','y'); arrayCollector = phased.Collector('Sensor',array,... 'PropagationSpeed',propSpeed,'OperatingFrequency',OperatingFrequency); arrayPlat = phased.Platform('InitialPosition',[0; 0; -10],... 'Velocity',[0; 1; 0]);
Define the receiver amplifier for each hydrophone element. Choose a gain of 20 dB and noise figure of 10 dB.
rx = phased.ReceiverPreamp(... 'Gain',20,... 'NoiseFigure',10,... 'SampleRate',fs,... 'SeedSource','Property',... 'Seed',2007);
Simulate the Passive Sonar System
Activate the acoustic beacon and transmit ten pings. After the propagation delay, the pings appear as peaks in the received signals of the array.
x = wav(); numTransmits = 10; rxsig = zeros(size(x,1),5,numTransmits); for i = 1:numTransmits % Update array and acoustic beacon positions [pos_tx,vel_tx] = beaconPlat(1/prf); [pos_rx,vel_rx] = arrayPlat(1/prf); % Compute paths between the acoustic beacon and array [paths,dop,aloss,rcvang,srcang] =... isopaths(pos_tx,pos_rx,vel_tx,vel_rx,1/prf); % Propagate the acoustic beacon waveform tsig = projRadiator(x,srcang); rsig = channel(tsig,paths,dop,aloss); % Collect the propagated signal rsig = arrayCollector(rsig,rcvang); % Store the received pulses rxsig(:,:,i) = abs(rx(rsig)); end
Plot the last received pulse. Because of the multiple propagation paths, each ping is a superposition of multiple pulses.
t = (0:length(x)-1)'/fs; plot(t,rxsig(:,end)) xlabel('Time (s)'); ylabel('Signal Amplitude (V)')
Estimate the Direction of Arrival
Estimate the direction of arrival of the acoustic beacon with respect to the array. Create a MUSIC estimator object, specifying a single source signal and the direction of arrival as an output. Use a scan angle grid with 0.1 degree spacing.
musicspatialspect = phased.MUSICEstimator('SensorArray',array,... 'PropagationSpeed',propSpeed,'OperatingFrequency',... OperatingFrequency,'ScanAngles',-90:0.1:90,'DOAOutputPort',true,... 'NumSignalsSource','Property','NumSignals',1);
Next, collect pings for 500 more repetition intervals. Estimate the direction of arrival for each repetition interval, and compare the estimates to the true direction of arrival.
numTransmits = 500; angPassive = zeros(numTransmits,1); angAct = zeros(numTransmits,1); for i = 1:numTransmits % Update array and acoustic beacon positions [pos_tx,vel_tx] = beaconPlat(1/prf); [pos_rx,vel_rx] = arrayPlat(1/prf); % Compute paths between acoustic beacon and the array [paths,dop,aloss,rcvang,srcang] =... isopaths(pos_tx,pos_rx,vel_tx,vel_rx,1/prf); angAct(i) = rcvang(1,1); % Propagate the acoustic beacon waveform tsig = projRadiator(x,srcang); rsig = channel(tsig,paths,dop,aloss); % Collect the propagated signal rsig = arrayCollector(rsig,rcvang); rxsig = rx(rsig); % Estimate the direction of arrival [~,angPassive(i)] = musicspatialspect(rxsig); end
Plot the estimated arrival angles and the true directions of arrival for each pulse repetition interval.
plot([angPassive angAct]) xlabel('Pulse Number') ylabel('Arrival angle (degrees)') legend('Estimated DOA','Actual DOA')
The estimated and actual directions of arrival agree to within less than one degree.
In this example, the transmission of acoustic pings between a beacon and passive array was simulated in a shallow-water channel. Each ping was received along ten acoustic paths. The direction of arrival of the beacon was estimated with respect to the passive array for each received ping and compared to the true direction of arrival. The direction of arrival could be used to locate and recover the beacon.

In the context of software or information modeling, a happy path is a default scenario featuring no exceptional or error conditions, and comprises the sequence of activities executed if everything goes as expected. For example, the "happy path" for a function validating credit card numbers would be where none of the validation rules raise an error, thus letting execution continue successfully to the end, generating a positive response.
Process steps for a happy path are also used in the context of a use case. In contrast to the happy path, process steps for alternate paths and exception paths may also be documented.
Happy path testing is a well-defined test case using known input, which executes without exception and produces an expected output.
Happy day scenario and Golden path are synonyms for happy path.

I have an array of objects, some of which respond to :description, and I want to get the description from the first one with a truthy description. I could do this:
objects.detect{|o| o.try(:description)}.description
or this:
objects.map{|o| o.try(:description)}.detect{|o| o}
but the first isn't DRY (description is in there twice) and the second iterates through the whole array before finding the value. Is there anything in the ruby standard library, or in Rails' extensions to it, which would let me do something like this:
objects.detect_and_return{|o| o.try(:description)}
I know I could write it easily enough, but the standard libraries are big enough that I might not need to. Is there a function which works like my detect_and_return?

I haven't seen such a method, and the closest I found was a method capture_first which I found in the gem merb-cache. Seems they stumbled on the same problem and implemented this:
module Enumerable
 def capture_first
 each do |o|
 return yield(o) || next
You could also take a look at the Array and Enumerable methods in the Ruby facets library and see if you find something similar. Facets contains quite a lot of goodies, so you might get lucky.

Indeed - Enumerable#find_yield, aka Enumerable#map_detect. Thanks - I'd not heard about facets before. – Simon Aug 3 '11 at 13:45

My Great Grandmother, Elmer Effie (Simpson) Tolley born about 1878 in Crittenden co ky to James Huey Simpson and Sarah Catherine (Greer) Simpson. We dont know why or how or where the Elmer came from and by the time it was questioned of us now in the search ancestors we still dont know how she came to be named ELMER. A lady she called Grandma NUNN and worked for on the lady's property who had large land holdings told her Elmer was a man's name and renamed her Elma. Elma later in 1902 marred Robert H Tolley who was clearing the lady Nunns forest. I have found no Elmer's in the family and the only family line I cant find is James Huey Simpson's mother was Louisa Lyzenby daughter of Orpha Marvel and Charles Lyzenby b. 1801 in Livingston co Ky. The Marvel's are traced and Louisa said to be part indian so I guess the Elmer came from either the maternal or paternal side of Charles Lyzenby. Sincerely Denise of Madison co Ill.

Garage door openers
While cleaning my garage, I found a garage-door opener that I had replaced several years ago and naturally saved it thinking that someday I would try to figure out why it stopped working. So I started wondering about the history of garage-door openers. Who was the ingenious person who figured that out? We are all spoiled by this convenience, but it sure is nice.
The garage door follows the history of the automobile. Early on there were parking garages not at the house, or a carriage house was used. But folks did not want to walk to the parking garage or put their brand new automobile in with their horses. As a result a building similar to the carriage house was built to house their new cars. The name garage comes from the French word "garer" which means to shelter or protect. Naturally these buildings needed doors, so they were originally built like barn doors and strap hinges were used for the doors and opened outward. The disadvantage of this type of door was that they were difficult to open. Also, after a snowstorm, the snow had to be shoveled out of the way first. A better way was needed.
In 1921, C. G. Johnson invented the first overhead door. This door could be lifted upward, folding parallel to the garage ceiling. Five years later, in 1926, Mr. Johnson also invented the electric automatic garage-door opener.
The first garage doors that I remember were very heavy wooden doors that required heavy counter-balance. As time went along, lighter materials were used. Our garage has doors of translucent fiberglass. The doors are very light and were installed almost 40 years ago.
Now most of the doors are better insulated to keep the garage warmer, and we have remote control so the door can be opened from the comfort of our home or car. They also have more safety features. Just be sure the electric eye is not hindered by a leaf or cobweb to make the door go back up. That has happened to us a few times.

What leadership traits can we learn from wolves? In The Wisdom of Wolves author Twyman Towery shares the milieu of the wolf pack where teamwork, loyalty and communication are the norm rather than the exception. Whether it�s their traits of curiosity, perseverance, loyalty or play, wolves exist for the survival of the pack - a lesson humans can apply in business, family or personal relationships. The Wisdom of Wolves shows us that not only has the teamwork of the wolves among themselves been critical to their success, but the teamwork between humans and wolves has helped boost the life environment for both species. The Wisdom of the Wolves provides food for thought: The strength of the pack is the wolf and the strength of the wolf is the pack.

Title & Authors
Thermoviscoelastic Stress Analysis by the Finite Element Method Sim, Woo-JIn; Park, In-Kyu;
Uncoupled, quasi-static and linear thermoviscoelastic problems are analyzed in time domain by the finite element approximation which is developed using the principle of virtual work and viscoelasticity matrices instead of shear and bulk relaxation functions as in usual formulations. The material is assumed to be isotropic, homegeneous and thermorheologically simple, which means that the temperature-time equivalence postulate is effective. The stress-strain laws are expressed by relaxation-type hereditary integrals. In spatial and time discritizations, isoparametric quadratic quadrilateral finite elements and linear time variations are adopted. For explicit derivations, the viscoelastic material is assumed to behave standard linear solid in shear and elastically in dilatation. Two-dimensional examples are solved under general temperature distributions T = T(x, t), and compared with other opproximate solutions to show the versatility of the presented analysis.

Remodeling and preserving elements
 In Artículos de interés
From existing to new
When we think of remodeling a space, we often think of completely changing the nature of space.
However, this is not always needed to create a different and totally new ambiance.
We can preserve elements that could be useful to create a contrasting effect in our space.
To do so, we can start by asking ourselves if there are some existing elements that we like. It could be a structural element like a wall, or finish material like a floor or tile, or a carpentry element, and start thinking to conserve it.
Sometimes, even if we don't appreciate an element or finish, we could think of emphasizing its nature in contrast with other materials or other elements of the same space.
You can discover an interesting element even by removing the final finish of your walls, floors, etc. To do so, it is necessary to make a survey of finishes and structural elements.
There are many options; it is just about identifying an element that could give a special touch to your new space.
In this way, you will find elements that in their current state may seem obsolete, but that in contrast to modern finishes can give a very special character to your new space.
Renovation and preservation are not necessarily opposed, they complement each other!

Italian dig uncovers "oldest" temple in Cyprus
NICOSIA (Reuters) - An Italian archaeologist says she has discovered what is believed to be the oldest site of religious worship in Cyprus, a temple which is about 4,000 years old.
The find at the Pyrgos-Mavroraki site close to the southern city of Limassol predates any other discoveries in Cyprus by about 1,000 years, Italian archaeologist Maria Rosaria Belgiorno said.
"This is the first evidence of religion in Cyprus at the beginning of the second millennium BC," she was quoted as telling the Cyprus Weekly newspaper from Rome.
The Cyprus Antiquities Department said further examination would be required before the find could be verified. "We cannot dismiss the claim but we cannot verify it either," Antiquities Department official Maria Hadjicosti told Reuters.
Belgiorno said she had found the outline of a triangular-shaped temple, comprised of two rooms, on the site. There was a sacrificial altar flanked by a channel on two sides.
"We found no statues, but there is evidence that it is a monotheistic temple," she said. It was probably destroyed in an earthquake and abandoned in 1800 BC.
In ancient religions, triangles typified spiritual gateways or embodied three separate deities.
In the past, the Pyrgos-Mavroraki site has also yielded finds ranging from an ancient perfumery to one of the earliest records of how olive oil was used to fire furnaces.

The nodes of Wireless Sensor Network used in forest monitoring can not replace battery frequently, so they can not use disposable chemical battery with limited energy as traditional sensor network nodes. This article studied on the WSN node power system for forest monitoring, designed a node solar power system on the basis of analysis of the sensor node hardware and energy situation, and introduced the microprocessor control and software control flow of this system in detail. The solar power system was specifically designed to be capable of step-down and step-up the solar panel output DC (Direct current) voltage not only when the light is sufficient to meet the work requirements of each module of the sensor node, but also be able to step-up the output DC voltage when the solar cell was under voltage in poor light to ensure the energy supply in light or low light environments, extending the service life of sensor nodes. Finally, simulation results are presented to show the feasibility of solar power system applied in WSN.

The CSS process involves all stakeholders, including community members, interest groups, elected officials, and affected local, state and federal agencies. It puts project needs and both agency and community values on a level playing field and considers all trade-offs in the decision-making and project development process.
The I-49 Lafayette Connector CSS process was originally designed so that the 21 commitments in the 2003 Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) Record of Decision (ROD) were fully addressed. The commitments identified key project-related features where minimization and mitigation measures to address adverse impacts, in addition to potential enhancements, would be required to implement the Selected Alternative, commonly referred to as the 2003 ROD Alternative. Furthermore, the Summary of Decision included within the ROD indicated that the LCG Corridor Preservation and Management Action Plan would be the guiding document for the I-49 Lafayette Connector design and construction integration. This document also supported a CSS-based approach to achieve the overriding stakeholder goals of enhancing "community connectedness" and building a "signature place," versus simply a "signature structure", through comprehensive project planning, design and implementation.
The CSS process was initiated in September 2015 with the intent to focus community outreach, discussion and debate primarily on the CSS design features of the 2003 ROD Alternative, it became very apparent that the community desired a more in-depth discussion and evaluation of potential refinements to that alternative. Twelve years had passed since the ROD and almost that many since the suspension of the last planning/design process, and the community had undergone significant change. In response to these community concerns, the DOTD/LCP Team conducted a Concept Refinement Process (CRP) in place of the CSS program in order to gather input from the community and project committees to complete what became the Alternatives Analysis of the Supplemental EIS (SEIS). The process included:
1. Review and discussion of the changes that had taken place in the community;
2. Identification of potential refinements to the 2003 ROD Alternative; and
3. Review those potential refinements from both community and technical perspectives, through a three-tiered evaluation process, eventually leading to a recommendation from the Executive Committee (EC) for environmental evaluation in the SEIS.
In accordance with the long-standing determination of the Path to Progress Report all Refinement Concept ideas considered during the CRP were along the Evangeline Thruway corridor. The CSS process became the Alternatives Analysis for the SEIS to reflect the community's desire to explore modifications to the 2003 ROD Alternative (e.g. elimination of Downtown interchanges, replaced by more neighborhood/Downtown friendly corridor connectivity, realignment of MLK Drive/Castille Avenue connection, simplification of the Kaliste Saloom and University/Surry interchanges to minimize airport impacts, height and design of mainline viaduct through the central area, cross corridor connectivity, multimodal accommodations, etc). The result was the identification of the Refinement Alternatives to be studied in the SEIS.
The I-49 Lafayette Connector CSS Program will strive to:
- Reach a common vision for the I-49 Lafayette Connector with the community and key stakeholders through a collaborative process that addresses three of levels of community context:
- Study Area Level I (I-49 Lafayette Connector right-of-way): transportation facilities and related features within the right-of-way
- Study Area Level II (immediate 500-foot influence area either side of corridor): enhancement of community cohesion and neighborhood connectivity on both sides of the right-of-way
- Study Area Level III (immediately impacted adjacent neighborhoods): assurance that Level I and II elements complement the revitalization program for immediately adjacent neighborhoods that is being addressed through the Evangeline Corridor Initiative
- Prepare the CSS Design Standards Manual for the final design and construction of a I-49 Lafayette Connector that provides regional mobility, excellent community access and a variety of features that complement Downtown and the adjacent neighborhoods:
- Structure the CSS process to facilitate informed project implementation phasing and rapid progression into final design and project construction
The I-49 Lafayette Connector CSS Program will be carried out through a two-tiered advisory group/committee structure. The DOTD has established the new Lafayette Connector Advisory Committee (LCAG), replacing the Community Work Group (LCAG) and Technical Advisory Committee utilized in the CRP and will continue to utilize the Executive Committee (EC), which is made up of the directors and senior staff of the Project Partner Agencies (FHWA, DOTD, MPO, LCG).
The LCAG and EC are scheduled to meet regularly and at key milestones in order to discuss and provide input and direction on design elements for the I-49 Lafayette Connector project. The design decisions made through this process will be compiled into the CSS Design Standards Manual for the project. The specific roles of the two committees are as follows:
- Lafayette Connector Advisory Group:
To provide combined community and technical input and recommendations on the various design feature areas and elements listed below under CSS Design Workshops.
- Executive Committee:
To review all recommendations from the LCAG, neighborhood outreach and public workshops and to make a recommendation to the DOTD and FHWA on the Preferred Alternative and the various mitigation measures, potential design enhancements and proposed joint use development projects identified through the CSS process.
In addition to the two-tiered advisory group/committee structure, neighborhood meetings will be held at key milestones with each existing neighborhood coterie and other organizations along the corridor; Partner Agency Meetings will be held concurrent with CSS Design Workshops to provide input on mitigation measures, potential design enhancements and proposed joint use development projects; and Public Workshops will be conducted at key milestones in the CSS Process to provide input to the Executive Committee.
- CSS Design Workshop #1: Core Area Mainline Structural Components
- Viaduct Profiles and Heights
- Bridge Bent Columns, Girders and Pier Types
- Parapet, Abutment and Retaining Wall Options
- CSS Design Workshop #2: Core Area Mainline Structural Components
- Signature Bridge
- Entryway Features
- CSS Design Workshop #3: Evangeline Thruway Corridor
- Grand Boulevard and Couplet Options
- Core Area Streets and Connectivity
- Bicycle and Pedestrian Features
- Urban Design Features
- Landscape Architectural Features
- CSS Design Workshop #4: Potential Gateways, Under Structure and Adjacent Uses
- North and South Gateways
- Willow, University/Surry and Kaliste Saloom Interchange Treatments
- Beaver Park Access
- Joint Use Opportunity options
- CSS Design Workshop #5: Corridor-Wide Features
- Lighting Types and Options
- Corridor-Wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Features
- Community Art, Culture and Historic Reference Integration
- CSS Design Workshop #6: Corridor-Wide Features
- Corridor-Wide Site Furnishing and Street Furniture Features
- Corridor-Wide Landscape Architectural Features
The CSS Design Standards Manual will document the Connector design feature areas and elements discussed, reviewed, analyzed, prioritized and accepted as project components by the DOTD and FHWA based on the Executive Committee (EC) recommendation of the Preferred Alternative. These recommendations will be the products of the 13-month CSS process discussed above, through all its community involvement, stakeholder outreach, agency coordination and Advisory Group/Committee work process.
The intent of the CSS Design Standards Manual is to inform the final design of the I-49 Lafayette Connector project and related improvements in regard to corridor aesthetic consistency, community integration and compliance with all stakeholder and community input. The initial design feature areas and elements of the I-49 Lafayette Connector were first defined by the community, staff and public officials in the initial CSS process that was not completed for the 2003 ROD Alternative. These will be revised and refined through this CSS process. These elements are key form-giving project components that fulfill the project's mobility objectives and have the ability to make the project a "signature place" of significant benefit to its surroundings; establish community connectedness between the neighborhoods and various districts along the corridor; and provide a sense of community integration and cohesion through thoughtful references to the region's history and culture.

Hormones in Metamorphosis of Amphibia
In amphibians, the changes that take place during metamorphosis are brought about by hormonal secretions of the thyroid gland. The first sign of this was obtained in 1912 when Gudematsch reported that frog tadpoles while fed dried and powdered sheep thyroid underwent precocious or early metamorphosis. Identical results however were not observed when tadpoles were fed along with preparation of other glands. These experiments made it feasible to postulate that thyroid hormones bring about metamorphosis.
In 1918 B.M. Allen observed that elimination of thyroid rudiment from early frog tadpoles, prevented them from going through metamorphosis, and caused them to become giant tadpoles instead. Conversely, if they were fed with thyroid or immersed in water containing soluble extracts from thyroid glands they then proceeded immediately to metamorphosis. Identical experiments in urodele amphibians, in particular in axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum, also indicated the significance of the thyroid gland in urodele metamorphosis.


I bet everyone has that dream of dusting off that musical instrument, they bought years ago only to have it sit in storage, and finally get some lessons, especially as COVID has us vegetating at home anyways. Israeli company Tonara, the makers of the popular music practice app Tonara Studio, announced the launch of Tonara Connect, a music education marketplace that connects music teachers and students worldwide on a digital platform.
Technology around music education often looks to cut teachers out of the picture, while Tonara puts teachers right at the center. Tonara's app, Tonara Studio, launched in 2018, helps thousands of teachers stay connected and engaged with their students while motivating practice in between lessons.
"The future of music education is being driven by innovation, connectivity, and empowerment. We strive to deliver on all three in the products, content, and global communities that we build." - Cara Katzew, VP Marketing of Tonara.
While Tonara Studio helps teachers manage and motivate their students, the newly released Tonara Connect, allows music teachers to grow their studios by removing geographical limitations and making it easy for students from around the world to find them. This becomes especially prudent as many millions around the globe face quarantine or lock-down restrictions due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus, and find themselves with nothing to do.
On Connect, music teachers are able to create rich, professional profiles, showing potential students who they are, and how they can help them achieve their goals. Music students entering the marketplace can then find the teachers that match their music learning needs, and initiate lessons.
The marketplace currently boasts over 800 teachers and is growing every day, connecting people worldwide through music education on a digital platform.
"We have the potential to do something truly big here. Not just in scale, but in impact. We've all witnessed the power of music education, how it unites, and how it heals. This is something that everyone in the world should have access to and Tonara is here to reshape the future of music education and make that possible". - Tonara CEO, Ohad Golan.
The company was founded in 2008 by Yair Lavi and Evgeni Begelfor. To date, Tonara has raised almost $10 million as of last Series C funding round.

Blow molding is a method of printing hollow workpieces by blowing air into a molded material. From the results of the process, the specification of a product must be met by the manufacturer in fulfilling orders from the customer. The thickness of the bottle wall and the snap dimension is one of the most difficult specifications to be controlled on a 500 ml chemical bottle product. This will be resolved if the machine operator knows the optimal combination of parameters at the time of operation. In this experiment the method used is Design of Experiments with Taguchi Gray Relational Analysis method approach to get the combination between two responses taken to obtain optimal parameters. By doing a total of 27 experiments,the experimentd were implemented on a 500 ml chemical bottle product as per specified specification. Data were collected using a digital microscope for wall thickness and dimensions vernier to snap. The result of analysis with Taguchi Gray Relational Analysis method shows that the parameters which have significant effect on wall thickness and snap bottle dimension are blowing pressure and blowing time. While the parameter of melt temperature and stop time have less significant effect. The optimal parameter setting is blowing pressure of 9 bar, melt temperature of 260 ° C, blowing time for 7 seconds and stop time for 2 seconds.


It depends.
Your youth record does NOT automatically disappear when you turn 18. Instead, the law sets out a period in which the record is open and can be accessed by people that are authorized by the law, like the Crown Attorney, before it is sealed. The relevant law is called the Youth Criminal Justice Act
How long your record will lasts will depend on:
 - 1. The seriousness of the crime you committed
 - 2. The sentence you were given, AND
 - 3. Whether you commit another crime while you still have an open youth record for a previous crime.
If you get an Absolute Discharge, then your record for this offence will be open for one year after being found guilty of the offence. If you receive a conditional discharge, then your record for this offence will be open for three years after being found guilty. If you get EJS (extrajudicial sanctions) then this will be on your record for two years from the date you agree to do EJS.
For more serious sentences (like probation and custody), the length of time your record is open depends on the seriousness of the crime. For instance, if you were found guilty of a summary conviction offence, which is a lower level offence, then your record will be open for three years after you complete your sentence. But if you are found guilty of a more serious offence, known as an indictable offence, your record will be open five years after your sentence is completed.
And if you committed a really serious offence, like murder, manslaugher, attempted murder or aggravated sexual assault, your record may be open indefinitely.
If you have an open youth record and then are found guilty of a new crime while charged as a youth, then the time period starts fresh: this means that the original offences will be open until the retention period for the new offences is complete.
Finally, if you have a youth record that is still open when you turn 18, and you commit another offence before it is sealed, your youth record will become part of your permanent adult record.

The Weil Pairing
Consider the group of $m$-torsion points $E[m]$ for some $m$ coprime to $q = \mathrm{char} K$.
For a point $T \in E[m]$, find a $T_0$ such that $m T_0 = T$ (i.e. $T_0 \in [m]^{-1}(T)$). Let $g_T$ be a rational function with divisor
\[ \langle g_T \rangle = \sum_{R\in E[m]} \langle T_0 + R \rangle - \langle R \rangle \]
Let $\tau_S$ be the translation-by-$S$ map for some $m$-torsion point $S$. Then define the Weil pairing to be
\[ e(S,T) = \frac{g_T \cdot \tau_s }{ g_T } \]
Since $R, S$ are both elements of the group $E[m]$:
\[ \langle g_T \cdot \tau_S (P) \rangle = \sum_{R\in E[m]} \langle T_0 + R - S \rangle - \langle R - S \rangle = \langle g_T \rangle \]
So $g_T$ and $g_T \cdot \tau_S$ have the same divisor which implies $e(S, T) = g_T \cdot \tau_S / g_T = \mu$ for some constant $\mu$ (recall that $g_T$ is unique up to a constant).
Repeating this argument gives $g_T \cdot \tau_S^i = \mu^i g_T$. Since $m$ translations by $S$ is the identity (since $S \in E[m]$) we find $\mu^m = 1$, when $i = m$. In other words $e(S,T) = \mu$ is an $m$th root of unity.
So we may view the Weil pairing as a map
\[ e : E[m] \times E[m] \rightarrow \mu_m \]
where $\mu_m$ is the group of the $m$th roots of unity.
Note this definition of the Weil pairing is not suitable for practical computations as the representations of the functions $g_T(P), g_T(P+S)$ grow quickly with $m$. (There are $2m^2$ poles and zeroes for each function, which means each function is a product of $2m^2$ line equations.) Fortunately an alternative definition of the Weil pairing lends itself well to explicit computation.
Pullback of Divisors
This is another way to view this definition of the Weil pairing.
Suppose $\alpha$ is an endomorphism, and $g$ is a rational function. Then a natural construct is to compose $g$ and $\alpha$, i.e. $g \cdot \alpha$.
For example, if $\alpha$ is translation by a point $T$, then $g \cdot \alpha (P)= g(P+T)$.
The map $\alpha$ also induces a map on the divisors $\alpha^* : Div(E) \rightarrow Div(E)$ that takes the divisor of $g$ to the divisor of $g \cdot \alpha$.
For example, if $\alpha$ is translation by $T$, then $\alpha^*$ takes a divisor $\sum m_P \langle P \rangle$ to $\sum m_P \langle P - T \rangle$.
Then the function $g_T$ in the Weil pairing may be defined as a function such that
\[ \langle g_T \rangle = [m]^*(\langle T \rangle - \langle O \rangle) \]
Properties of The Weil Pairing
The Weil pairing is nondegenerate, alternating and bilinear.
 - $e(S_1 + S_2, T) = e(S_1, T) e(S_2, T)$
 - $e(S, T_1 + T_2) = e(S, T_1) e(S, T_2)$
 - $e(S, S) = 1$
 - $e(S, T) = e(T, S)^{-1}$
 - $e(S, T) = 1$ for all $T$ if and only if $S = O$
 - $e(S, T) = 1$ for all $S$ if and only if $T = O$
 - For any nonzero endomorphism $\alpha$, $e(\alpha(S), \alpha(T)) = e(S,T)^{\deg \alpha}$

The structural response of a molten main-chain liquid crystal polymer to an applied magnetic field has been investigated microscopically, with the microstructure being characterized as a function of field strength, time in the field and molecular weight. The application of the field to a structure in which the director wandered gradually on a scale of about 100 ~tm resulted in the formation of domains delineated by well defined boundaries. The domains were elongated along the field axis to an aspect ratio of about 8 in the case of a 1.1 T field, although for the higher field strength of 5.6 T the domains were no longer visible. Evidence is presented that the domain boundaries correspond to a director reorientation of ~ rad. Etched domain microstructure revealed a uniform distribution of crystallites, representing regions of local ordering in the material, on a scale of a few hundred nanometres. The crystallites had the form of platelets normal to the local director and acted as orientational markers across the domain boundaries.

Workflow mapping can be used to create intelligent forms that show the user fields and information based on their responses to previous elements. For instance, your form might ask the parent how their child will be transported to school. If they answer 'Parent pickup/drop-off', that can trigger a field to appear for 'Alternative Driver' to designate who can pick the child up when the parents are unavailable; or if they select 'School Bus', you can make a dropdown appear where they can select their nearest bus stop. The idea is to minimize clutter and confusion by only displaying fields that are relevant to the user.
Enabling Workflow Mapping
In the Ecollect editor, choose the element that will become visible based on another element's value. Enable the Workflow Mapping option and then click on the icon. This will gray out most of the screen except for the elements that are eligible to be the determinant element. If the element you want is not available, try saving the form first and try again. Once you link the determinant element, it should be highlighted in orange whenever the initial element is selected.
Enter the Value for Visibility. This is the value of the determinant element that will trigger this element to appear. It can be set to multiple possible values, using the pipe (|) character. You could trigger the appearance of the dependent element for grades 1 through 4 with the value 1|2|3|4.
If the determinant element has choices this separate display and stored values (such as a grade level element with choices like Kindergarten|0 and Ninth|9) then the Value for Visibility must be set to the stored value (in this case, 0 or 9), not the visible text.
You can make multiple elements dependent on the same determinant element, and you can set a different Value for Visibility for each dependent element.
The determinant element can be almost any type of user input element, including text box, checkbox, dropdown, multiple choice, etc. If it is an element that allows multiple values, such as checkboxes, as long as one of the selections matches the Value for Visibility, the element will appear.
If the Value for Visibility is PART of the value of the determinant element, the dependent element will appear. For instance, if the Value for Visibility is day, the element will appear if the user selects Half day, Full day, or Multiple days.
Advanced Values for Visibility
The Value for Visibility works using Regex. If you know how to utilize Regex, there are many options for how you can use workflow mapping. Below are some examples of possible Values for Visibility and the scenarios that you would use them.
[^]+ - Visible if any value is selected/entered
^Sunday$ - Visible for the value of 'Sunday', but not for the value of 'Saturday/Sunday'
[0-5] - Equivalent to 0|1|2|3|4|5
^(?!.*Sunday).+$ - Visible for any value that does not contain 'Sunday'


Farmers Receive No-Interest Loans To Help Overcome Pandemic Losses
WAMC, May 14, 2020
Several farms in western Massachusetts have been thrown a financial lifeline as they look to build back their business during the pandemic.
Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture announced this week that no-interest loans totaling $183,000 have made to 13 farms. Applications for additional loans from a revolving emergency fund will be taken starting June 1. WAMC's Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with CISA Executive Director Philip Korman.
Farms are considered — they need to be essential businesses in any pandemic or non-pandemic situation because our farms are growing the food that we can put on our tables and feed our families. What really did impact farms was other sectors of the economy that needed to shut down. So farms lost markets when it came to restaurants, when it came to institutions and colleges, and even our winter farmers markets closed down because they were inside spaces, and that was in February and we had not yet figured out how to do things safely when it came to purchasing food.
So how does the emergency fund help in this situation?
So the emergency farm fund which has been around now since the end of 2011 provides no interest loans to farms, and farms don't have to pay any part of it back for the first six months. So it's providing loans in conjunction with the Franklin County CDC, ranging from $5000 to $25,000. So, it's enabling farms to keep going even though they have bills to pay as they figure out the new markets, and as we start heading into the growing season in a serious way.
Will the opening of the farmers' markets and the farm stands, will that help?
It will certainly help a lot of farms when they are able to sell directly to their neighbors and a lot of farms are based on those markets. So when farms open up their farm stands—and by the way, right now there are a lot of farms that do have small farm stores like small grocery stores, and that domain of what they can grow and sell has increased. So it's giving–these loans are giving farmers a chance to shift their focus and their attention to try to open up new markets and sell more to the markets they have already. You know, I think a lot of us are realizing that it's been our local neighbors who are farmers who are making the difference for us and feeding our families during this epidemic. And the supply chain of when that strawberry or asparagus is picked that gets to our table, so many fewer hands are touching that produce. I just hope that all of us are focusing on our farms right now and understand how deeply dependent we are on their good work that they do every day.
How many farms were helped out in this latest round, and what are your plans for the emergency farm fund for the future?
So, the emergency farm fund for COVID-19, we were able to do, 13 farms received loans totaling over $180,000. We're going to open up the fund for a second round starting June 1st. And applications will be due by June 22nd. And we anticipate that we might spend the remaining $220,000 in no interest loans then.
Where does the money for the fun come from?
The money from the fund comes from, in terms of CISA from the community. We've raised that money from amazing members of the community who understand how important our local food supply is, how important it is our neighbors who are farmers. So CISA is providing 150,000 of the total $400,000 the Franklin County CDC which has been an amazing partner in this round of emergency farm fund. They've had investors who had set up The Pioneer Valley Grows Investor Fund. And those monies are coming from that investment fund.
Now, this is the first time that this emergency fund has been used for a non-weather related emergency. So did the criteria change for getting a loan?
It's accurate to say that this is the first pandemic we've experienced to this degree and 100 years and every single farm—business has been impacted. So we have opened it up for all farms to apply. We do ask them to say how they've been impacted. But the criteria otherwise it's the same in the past. It was a single weather event and you would just show why Hurricane Irene impacted your farm. So in a way, it's the same you're showing how COVID-19 has impacted your farm.
And these are farms all up and down the valley, right? It's not just one region?
Correct. It's the three-county area of Hampshire, Hamden and Franklin counties and the range of farms included farms that focused on maple syrup, or flowers, or vegetables, or hard cider, or mushrooms, or fruit. It was it was a wide range of farms that applied.
And I think you mentioned this but, you're going to be taking applications again beginning when?
Applications will be taken again starting on June 1st, and all the information will be up before then at via

I don't know about OpenCV, so I can't tell you what
cv.GetMat() does. Apparently, it returns something that can be used as or converted to a two-dimensional array. The C or C++ interface to OpenCV that you are using will probably have a similarly names function.
The following lines create an array of index pairs of the entries in
grey_image_as_array that are bigger than
3. Each entry in
non_black_coords_array are zero based x-y-coordinates into
grey_image_as_array. Given such a coordinates pair
y, you can access the corresponsing entry in the two-dimensional C++ array
The Python code has to avoid explicit loops over the image to achieve good performance, so it needs to make to with the vectorised functions NumPy offers. The expression
grey_image_as_array > 3 is a vectorised comparison and results in a Boolean array of the same shape as
numpy.where() extracts the indices of the
True entries in this Boolean array, but the result is not in the format described above, so we need
zip() to restructure it.
In C++, there's no need to avoid explicit loops, and an equivalent of
numpy.where() would be rather pointless -- you just write the loops and store the result in the format of your choice.

If you're interested in starting a career in firefighting, or if you are already employed in that field, you might be interested in reviewing the top ten firefighter statistics. Although firefighting can be dangerous and the hours are long and erratic, it's one of the most rewarding careers you can choose. By becoming either a career firefighter or a volunteer, you're making a valuable contribution to your community and to society at large.
The top ten firefighter statistics as compiled by the National Fire Protection Association:
 1. The estimated number of firefighters working in the U.S. is 1,148,100. Of that number, 335,950 are career firefighters and 812,150 are volunteers.
 2. Firefighter statistics categorized by age group: Age 16-19 (3%), Age 20-29 (21%), Age 30-39 (28%), Age 40-49 (26%), Age 50-59 (16%), Age 60 and over (6%)
 3. Firefighter statistics for average firefighter salary as of 2009: $47,270 (according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics).
 4. The total number of firefighter responses was 26,534,500, reflecting an increase of 5.1% over 2008.
 5. Medical assistance was the number one reason for firefighter response at 17,104,000. That figure reflects an increase of 8.5% over 2008.
 6. The second highest reason for firefighter response was false alarms at 2,177,000. That figure was down 2.9% over the previous year.
 7. The total number of firefighter responses due to fire was 1,348,500, reflecting a decrease of 7.1% from the previous year.
 8. Seventy-three percent of career firefighters are working in communities with a population of 25,000 or more. This firefighter statistic reflects the fact that the population density is relational to the number of firefighters needed to protect the community.
 9. Ninety-five percent of volunteer firefighters are in working at fire departments that protect a population of less than 25,000. More than 50% of volunteers are located in small, rural departments that protect a population of less than 2,500.
 10. There were 1,348,500 building structure fires in 2009. Of those fires, an estimated property loss of $12,531 was reported. The total number of deaths in building structure fires for 2009 was 3,010. The number of injuries reported was 17,050.
Bonus firefighter statistic:
There are 30,165 fire departments in the U.S.
These firefighter statistics give you an idea of the types of emergencies firefighters are most often called to respond to, as well as the numbers, age ranges and salaries of firefighters in the U.S.

text: Happiness equations for Malawi are estimated using a new household survey. It is apparent that absolute consumption level is strongly associated with satisfaction. Both objective and subjective relative consumption in the neighbourhood is positively associated with satisfaction. Male satisfaction is associated strongly with relative consumption but female satisfaction is not. Separated or widowed females are less happy than males indicating a vulnerability that acts as a disincentive to leave husbands during marital problems. Polygamous females in traditional religions are less satisfied than other females whilst there is some evidence that male Muslims in polygamous relationships are more satisfied.

First 0 Euro Banknote of Ireland
19 Jun 2021 Sat
The concept of "Euro Souvenir" was introduced to attract tourists and visitors. These notes depict important destinations, historical buildings, or anything else that represents that particular country.
A French businessman named Richard Faille introduced this concept in France in 2015. The idea was expanded and has now reached Germany, Austria, France, Belgium, Italy Switzerland, Spain, and Portugal through various businesses.
A company from Galway named Euro Note Souvenir released Ireland's first '0 Euro' banknote in August which was introduced as an Irish souvenir or Irish gift. The Euro Souvenir depicts an image of a Celtic harp and a map of Ireland with its states.

: Chlorinated wastewater and industrial effluents normally contain only combined chlorine.
What is total Chlorine and how is it measured?
Total Chlorine is free Chlorine plus combined Chlorine. It can be measured by DPD4.
I am using a CLE Chlorine sensor in my system. My solution contains a surfactant and my chlorine reading drifts slowly downward.
The surfactant may clog the sensor membrane. This electrode was designed for swimming pools and water of similar quality.
Can I use the CLE Chlorine sensor in Deionized water?
No, the electrolyte will be diluted by diffusion and because the sensor is Amperometric, it needs some conductivity to function.
Can I use the CLE sensor in water with a high turbidity level?
No, the recommended range of the sensor is 100 to 300 mg of hardness. Reduce the turbidity by filtering and then run the test samples. The sensor membrane can be clogged by a highly turbid sample.

Given two fixed nonintersecting circles (shown here in red and blue), a Steiner chain is a sequence of circles, each tangent to the two given circles and each tangent to their neighboring circles in the sequence. When the chain is closed, the first and last circles in the chain are also tangent to each other. If a closed chain can be found for a given pair of circles, then infinitely many such chains can be found—use the rotation slider. Also, regardless of whether the chain is open or closed, the centers of circles of the chain lie on an ellipse, shown in green.
By manipulating the "rotation" slider, you can see different Steiner chains for the given red and blue circles, demonstrating Steiner's porism, which states that infinitely many such chains exist. By deselecting the "closed chain" checkbox, you can then adjust the radius of the red circle and create open chains. You can try to find the appropriately sized inner circle to create a closed chain for practice. When the inner circle radius is 0, the inner circle becomes a point and the Steiner chain becomes a closed chain of two circles.

I have some problems with the equivalence of definitions of orientation. I know two definitions of orientation, namely:
 - A surface is orientable if it contains no 1-sided curves (a 1-sided curve in a combinatorical surface $F$ is a curve such if $p^{-1}(C)$ has just one component with $p:F'\rightarrow F$ and $F'$ the surface we obtain by cutting $F$ along $C$)
Also there exists the following lemma: A one-sided curve is always non-seperating (non-seperating means that the number of components of $F'$ has the same as $F$). Can we use this fact? And why is that true? From my point of view one can prove this easy with contradiction,true?!
Now the second definition:
 - An orientation of a closed combinatorial surface F is an assignment of a clockwise or anticlockwise \circulation" to each face (really an ordering of its vertices, considered up to cyclic permutation), such that at any edge, the circulations coming from the two incident faces are in opposition.
Now i want to show directly that a surface has an orientation if and only if it is orientable in the sense that it contains no 1-sided curves.
Can someone help me with this question? Thank you!

Assume $F$ is oriented in the sense of the second definition. Let $C$ be a curve. Wlog.(!) the curve runs along edges. The map $p^{-1}(C)\to\{-1,+1\}$ that maps a point to $+1$ if the "current" edge at that point is in forward direction of $C$ and to $-1$ if it is in reverse, is well defined (must be checked at vertices) and continuous. As each edge belongs to two faces and is differently oriented for these, ther exist both edges yielding $+1$ and edges yielding $-1$, hence $p^{-1}(C)$ has (at least) two connected components. Hence no one-sided curve exists.
The other direction is a bit more complicated if one wants to be formally exact, so the following is rather a sketch of an idea: Assume $F$ is oriented in the sense of the first definition. Select an arbitrary face and orient its edges. Extend this face by face to the whole surface by checking faces having at least one edge already oriented. If ever a conflict arises (i.e. the next step would orient an edge differently from an already given orientation by its other face), we find a onesided curve as follows: There is a sequence of faces between the conflicting faces that runs within alrady oriented faces. This also determines a sequence of edges (those that are shared by subsequent faces in this sequence). Join the midpoints of these edges to obtain a closed curve (i.e. starting and ending at the conflicting edge). Using the orientation given to the edges crossed along its way, we get a notion of "left" and "right" of the curve, which gets "flipped" by completely traversing the curve, thus showing that $p^{-1}(C)$ is connected.

A 28,000-square-mile area of special-use airspace known as the Powder River Training Complex is now active. The airspace, which covers large areas of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota was activated Sept. 17, the same date the new Billings Sectional Aeronautical chart, which covers the entire complex, was issued.
"The Powder River Training Complex covers an enormous area and AOPA is continuing to work with military and FAA officials to mitigate the impact it will have on GA airports and operations," said Rune Duke, AOPA director of air traffic and airspace. "And now that the airspace is available for military use, we urge pilots to be aware of the Powder River Training Complex boundaries and operating times so they can continue to traverse the area safely."
The Powder River Training Complex consists of four primary military operations areas (MOAs) connected by Gap MOAs, and affects 39 airports. In places, it covers altitudes from 500 feet agl up to the flight levels. Military officials estimate the Powder River Training Complex will be used for an estimated 2,882 training hours each year, or three-to-six hours per day, about 240 days per year. The primary purpose of the special-use airspace will be to train B-1 and B-52 bomber crews.
AOPA has been working since 2004 to minimize the impact of the expanded MOAs. Several of AOPA's recommendations were taken into account in the final design, including requests to modify the MOAs to better accommodate IFR procedures, subdividing some MOAs to limit the affected area, raising the floor of some MOAs to allow aircraft to fly underneath, and adjusting some MOA boundaries to accommodate commonly used VFR routes.
Although the airspace is now active, AOPA is continuing to work with the FAA to reduce charted times of use to more accurately reflect actual usage of the airspace. The association is also working with the Air Force and FAA to implement a Special-Use Airspace Information System that would provide real-time information regarding military flight operations to general aviation pilots 24 hours a day via telephone or radio. A similar system has been in use in Alaska since 1990.

This tutorial will present how to use DB Store and DB Filter components in Wires using the OPC-UA simulated server already used in OPC-UA Application.
The DB Store component allows the wire graphs to interact with the database provided by ESF. It stores in a user-defined table all the envelopes received by the component. The component can be configured as follows:
- table.name: the name of the table to be created.
- maximum.table.size: the size of the table.
- cleanup.records.keep: the number of records in the table to keep while performing a cleanup operation.
The DB Filter component, instead, can run a custom SQL query on the ESF database. It can be configured as follows:
- sql.view: SQL to be executed to build a view.
- cache.expiration.interval: cache validity in seconds. When the cache expires, a new read in the database will be performed.
The following procedure will create a wire graph that collects data from a simulated OPC-UA Server, stores it in a table in the database, using the DB Store component, and publishes it in the cloud platform. Moreover, the DB Filter is used to read from the database and write data to the OPC-UA Server based on the values read.
- Download the OPC-UA server simulator bundle and install it on your ESF instance. It will create a simulated OPC-UA server that exposes some sensors (light, temperature and water sensor) and some actuators (buzzer, led and fan).
- In the ESF Administrative Web Interface, select "OPCUA Server demo" in "Services" and set server.port to 1234. Click the Apply button. This will start an OPC-UA server on port 1234.
- Install the OPC-UA Driver from Eclipse Kura Marketplace
- Use the local ESF Administrative Web Interface to create a new OPC-UA driver instance:
- Select Drivers and Assets, click the New Driver button
- Select org.eclipse.kura.driver.opcua, type in a name, and click Apply: a new service will show up under Services.
- Configure the new service as follows:
- endpoint.ip: localhost
- endpoint.port: 1234
- server.name: leave blank
- Click on Wires under System
- Add a new Timer component and configure the interval at which the OPC-UA server will be sampled
- Add a new Asset with the previously added OPC-UA Driver
- Configure the new OPC-UA asset, adding new Channels as shown in the following image. Make sure that all the channels are set to READ.
- Add a new DBStore component and configure it as follows:
- table.name: WR_data
- maximum.table.size: 10000
- cleanup.records.keep: 0
- Add a new Publisher component and configure the chosen cloud platform stack in cloud.service.pid option
- Add Logger component
- Add another instance of Timer
- Add a new DBFilter component and configure it as follows. The query will get the values from the light sensor and if they are less than 200, the fan is activated.
- sql.view: SELECT (CASE WHEN "light" < 200 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS "led" FROM "WR_data" ORDER BY TIMESTAMP DESC LIMIT 1;
- cache.expiration.interval: 0
- Add another Asset with the OPC-UA Driver, configured as shown in the following image. Be sure that all the channels are set to WRITE.
- Connect the components as shown in the following image, then click on "Apply" and check the logs and the cloud platform that the data is correctly published.

Harvey Weir Cook was born in Wilkinson, Indiana in 1892. He graduated from Anderson High School and attended college at both DePauw University in Greencastle and Washington & Jefferson University in Washington, Pennsylvania. In 1917, he joined the United States Army Air Service and was a combat ace and captain during World War I, officially downing seven enemy planes.
Cook was a pioneer in bringing Indianapolis its first principal airport. The Indianapolis International Airport was known as the Weir-Cook Airport from 1944 to 1976. In 1942, he returned to military service as lieutenant colonel in World War II, where he was killed while flying a Bell Airacobra P-39 over New Caledonia. A memorial in his honor remains on display at the Indianapolis International Airport.

Report by James Franklin, Reporter
Thursday, August 9, 2012
WESTON Museum has been transformed into an archaeological dig pit in a bid to inspire youngsters about our past.
The Burlington Street museum will hold its Big Dig event every week day until August 21, with an exhibition teaching children about archaeology and history.
The event, the brainchild of Bournemouth University student and museum volunteer Shauni Brocklesby, features a large sand pit containing treasures for children to dig up.
They are also being taught how to write their names using Viking runes and Egyptian hieroglyphics.
Museum supervisor Adam Brown said: "We are really hoping that this will plant seeds of interest into children and advance their understanding about this amazing subject."

What is a'similar establishment' to a hotel, inn, or boarding house?: characteristics and functions associated with hotels, inns and boarding houses
The following is a list of characteristics and functions often associated with hotels, inns and boarding houses.
Clearly, for something to be a 'similar establishment' it is not necessary for all the features to be present; in many cases a small number of features will be sufficient to conclude that the establishment is similar to, for example, a basic hotel or boarding house.
- The accommodation is provided on a temporary basis, generally to persons who are away from their home. It is accommodation for a transient class of people or people who are temporarily homeless (but see paragraph 2.1, Notice709/3). It is taken with a view to moving on in due course.
- The hotel or similar establishment provides the accommodation as its main purpose, generally with a view to making profit. Providing the accommodation represents the main commercial exploitation of the property. In this respect the establishment will differ from one whose function is educate, imprison or provide care and support. Equally, an establishment which aims to provide pastoral care or create a family concept, such as some educational establishments, is unlikely to be a similar establishment.
- The hotel or similar establishment will normally provide accommodation on a non-selective basis to persons who turn up and can pay.
- They usually provide breakfast. However, this is no longer the case with all such establishments. Some hotel chains, for example, now provide only sleeping accommodation. Breakfast can be provided as a prepared meal or as basic ingredients (a food parcel). The provision of breakfast in the form of a supermarket voucher is not seen as a characteristic of 'hotel' accommodation.
- Sleeping accommodation is provided with a range of services and facilities, such as room service, laundry, cleaning of rooms (as opposed to cleaning of common areas), bed making, TV rooms, telephone services, receptionist, etc. The level of services will vary according to the status of the establishment. The service provided in a bed and breakfast establishment, for example, might be very basic, consisting of no more than room cleaning and laundry. This would not in itself prevent it from being treated as a 'similar establishment'.
- Residents will normally enjoy a degree of privacy by being provided with their own lockable rooms.
- There will normally be a resident manager, proprietor or member of staff on the premises at all times. Some establishments may have annexes where this is not the case. However, management will be contactable at the main premises. Greater supervision and management is a feature of this sort of accommodation.
- There is normally a booking service.

Kairit Kaur (University of Tartu / Tallinn University Library): Totentanz and graveyard poetry: how to grasp the Baltic German reception of English Literature and Culture
Writing my theses "Dichtende Frauen in Est-, Livund Kurland, 1654–1800. Von den ersten Gelegenheitsgedichten bis zu den ersten Gedichtbänden" (Poetry writing women in Estonia, Livonia and Courland, 1654–1800. From the first occasional poems to the first poetry collections), Tartu 2013, I encountered the interesting phenomenon of a Baltic German occasional poem published in Tallinn in 1759 that might have been inspired by the English graveyard poetry that was popular at the time in Western Europe and in Russia. There was, however, no research into the reception of English literature in 18th-century Estonia. When I started work as a specialist in old books at the Tallinn University Academic Library in 2013, I got the chance to catalogue subclass XII (poetry and drama) of the library of the Estonian Literary Society, a Baltic German learned society founded in 1842. In addition to Baltic German poetic and dramatic works it contains many works of mostly Western European literature, primarily German, but also French and English, and – to a lesser extent – Italian, Spanish and Scandinavian. As a researcher, my aim is to investigate how world literature came to Tallinn and Estonia, combining history of books and literary history. When and in what ways did English literature come to Estonia? What was read in original languages and what reached the Baltic German reader via German translation? Who possessed English literature and how did it shape the local literature? Which part of it reached later Estonian national literature and which did not, and why? In my presentation I would like to describe and discuss my first findings, taking subclass XII as the starting point.


How to Easily Resize Window In Gnome [Quick Tips]
How do you usually resize a window? Move your mouse pointer to the corner of the window and click to resize it, simple, right? Well, if you are using Gnome (Linux), resizing an application window can be a hit or miss affair. In some applications (such as Nautilus), the corners width are huge and you can easily click and drag to resize them. However, in other applications, the sidebar and corner width is only a pixel wide and moving your mouse cursor to that exact point (where the cursor become the resize arrowhead) can be a tedious task.
Here are some ways you can use to make resizing the window an easier, and enjoyable task.
1. Alt + Middle click
At anywhere in the window, press "ALT" key and the middle button of the mouse and the cursor instantly become an arrowhead. You can then move in the direction that you want to resize.
2. Press At + F8
The "Alt + F8" hotkey is a quick keyboard shortcut to activate the resize mode. Once in the resize mode (with a translucent overlay), you can use the arrow key to resize the window horizontally or vertically. Once you are done, hit Enter to return to the window mode.
3. Configure own hotkey via Compiz
If you are using Compiz, it comes with several more options that you can configure.
Open your CompizConfig Settings Manager (System -> Preferences -> CompizConfig Settings Manager).
Scroll down the list to find "Resize Window".
Click on it to enter its configuration page. From here, you can enable and assign the hotkey for different resize mode. In this example, I have enabled the "Initiate Outline Window Resize" mode and assign the hotkey "Alt + Super + W" to activate it.
That's it. This should solve your window resizing woes.

Leisure Time pH Balance Plus - 3 Pounds
pH Balance Plus works to lock in the proper pH level in your hot tub to prevent unnecessary, costly and time consuming pH adjustments. This unique granular formula will prevent your pH from fluctuating from the time you refill the hot tub with fresh water until the time you drain it.
All you have to do is check the pH level of your hot tub upon filling it up and adjust it to within the recommended pH range. Then add pH Balance Plus and you are set until you drain and refill the water.
- Locks pH levels in your hot tub
- Prevents pH fluctuations in your water
- Eliminates time consuming and costly daily or weekly pH adjustments
- Easy to use
Directions for use:
- The proper pH range for hot tub water is 7.2 to 7.6. pH Balance Plus will help keep the hot tub water within the proper range. Test the pH weekly and adjust if needed.
- 1. In a freshly filled ho tub, test the pH. If pH level is between 7.0 and 8.0 proceed to step 2. If it's not within this range, adjust with pH Up or pH Down until it's within the 7.0 and 8.0 range and proceed to step 2.
- 2. Add 1.5 pounds (half the jar) of pH Balance Plus for up to 250 gallons of hot tub water or the entire 3 pounds for up to 500 gallons of hot tub water. Pour directly into hot tub.
- 3. Turn ON jets and allow water to circulate for 15 minutes. Temporary cloudiness may occur, but the water will clear quickly once the product is full dissolved.
- 4. Repeat the application each time you refill your hot tub with fresh water.

The display promises to give a fascinating insight into the lives of ordinary Scots workers who involved themselves in the development of the early trade union movement. Highlights of the exhibition are:
- The original deed of establishment in 1761 of the Fenwick Weavers' Society in Ayrshire which is regarded as the world's first ever co-operative society
- A membership card issued almost two centuries ago to one of the first ever trade unionists in Scotland
- The service and pay book for John Dunlop who fought against fascism in the Spanish Civil War
Finding out more about ordinary folk rather than the 'great and the good' is always a challenge when using documentary sources, but exhibitions like this can at least give us a glimpse into aspects of the lives of our more 'humble' ancestors.
The exhibition runs from 2nd September until the end of October at George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, and should be well worth a visit. More details can be found at: _URL_

Rune of Superior Capacity
|Rune of Superior Capacity|
|Name||Rune of Superior Capacity|
|Source Mod||Blood Magic|
|ID Name|| |
|Affected by Gravity||No|
With fewer than 15 runes dedicated to capacity, it is more efficient to use Runes of Augmented Capacity. The effects of having both runes of augmented capacity and runes of superior capacity stack, but runes of superior capacity do NOT multiply the 2,000 added by each rune of augmented capacity, only the original 10,000.
The capacity of your altar can be calculated with the formula:
1.1^S * 10,000 + 2,000 * A
Where A is equal to the number of Runes of Augmented Capacity and S is equal to the number of Runes of Superior Capacity are in place. Therefore, with 3 Runes of Augmented Capacity, and 5 Runes of Superior Capacity, you end up with a total capacity of 22,105.1, or (1.1^5 * 10,000 + 2,000 * 3).
Rune of Superior Capacity has no known uses in crafting.

In assessing reduction of concrete strength under irradiated conditions, reference levels are introduced: 1×1020 n/cm2 for fast neutrons and 2×1010 rad (2×105 kGy) for gamma-rays. Concrete structures are regarded as sound as long as irradiance levels accumulated during long-term operation are less than the reference levels.
Most experimental investigations of irradiation effects on concrete were performed in the 1960's and 1970's. However, there is no good explanation of how concrete deteriorates under neutron and gamma-ray irradiation.
Hilsdorf put the primal irradiation test data together to investigate effects of irradiance levels on residual strength ratio of concrete. The reference levels were obtained from his paper. However, the test conditions in which the data quoted by Hilsdorf were obtained are very different from the irradiation and heat conditions usually found in a Light Water Reactor (LWR).
This paper summarizes the interactions between radiation and concrete components and presents the results of gamma-ray irradiation tests on cement paste in order to provide a better understanding of the deterioration mechanisms of concrete under irradiation and heat conditions in LWRs.
