Definition of discus in English:
noun (plural discuses)
1A heavy thick-centred disc thrown by an athlete, in ancient Greek games or in modern field events.
- As far as performance goes, athletes are throwing the discus more than two times farther than the Greeks did, but records aren't falling as steadily as they used to.
- Now allegedly just as the discus left the athlete's hand, a sort of gale arose and blew it many more metres than was expected.
- Their goal was to empower them to run faster, jump higher, throw the discus and javelin farther, lift heavier weights, and excel in all power events.
2A small colourful South American freshwater fish with a rounded laterally compressed body, native to South America and popular in aquariums.
- Genus Symphysodon, family Cichlidae: several species
- Freshwater angelfish have extended dorsal and anal fins and discus fishes, have compressed, disc-like bodies.
- Don't place your discus aquarium near a door as all the movement will cause them stress.
- It has been said that the male discus fish will tend to have a less intense color and more pattern while the female tends to be more colorful but with lesser pattern.
Via Latin from Greek diskos.

Poland on maps
Geographia Polonica (2015) vol. 88, iss. 1, pp. 173-178 | Full text
The study presents a brief review of Polish regions' participation in the global economy in 2011 based on exportlinkages at the local level (LAU 1). It identifies both the key actors in the globalisation processes withinthe country and the types of territories that share common trends in geographic and product export structures.The paper deals with a delimitation of areas of export concentration. A total of 23 areas have been identifiedaccounting for nearly 60% of Polish exports. Both the economic strength of the regions as reflected in theirrespective figures and the long-established position of industry in the national economy resulted in a widerange of areas discussed here.

Octopus Deploy Documentation
Build versions and packaging in Team Build
Last updated
Correctly versioning the packages you deploy with Octopus Deploy is important so the right version gets deployed at the right time. With Azure DevOps and Team Foundation Server (TFS), specifying a package version isn't always straightforward.
This guide shows you how best to version your builds and packages in Azure DevOps and TFS, whether you're using OctoPack, or the Octopus Extension in the Visual Studio Marketplace.
Build numbers in Team Build
In Team Build (the build system in Azure DevOps and TFS), build numbers may be in a format that doesn't represent a valid SemVer number.
For example, Microsoft's Build Number format documentation gives an example: $(TeamProject)_$(BuildDefinitionName)_$(SourceBranchName)_$(Date:yyyyMMdd)$(Rev:.r) will result in a version number like Fabrikam_CIBuild_master_20090805.2.
While this is a valid Team Build build number, it can cause issues when trying to pack the build output into a NuGet package or zip file for Octopus.
Packages used by Octopus must conform to SemVer 1.0 or 2.0 depending on the version of Octopus you're using.
The link above explains versioning in detail, but in its simplest form it means two things:
 1. Numbered versions in 3 or 4 segments that can be interpreted as major.minor.patch, with an optional "prerelease tag" afterwards in the form -tag.
 2. Versions can be sorted predictably. For example, 1.2.3 is newer than 1.2.0.
As you can see, a package version of Fabrikam_CIBuild_master_20090805.2 won't be valid will cause issues!
Setting a SemVer-compliant build number
The recommendations below generally rely on the build number itself being SemVer compliant. To do this, you can change the build number format.
Our recommended build number format is: x.y.$(BuildID) where x and y are integers. You can change them when you want to bump a version. This format will produce a three-part version number like 1.2.350.
Recommended Build format
If you have a build for a separate branch, it's a good idea to add the version tag. For example: x.y.$(BuildID)-feature-1 will produce a version number like 1.2.350-feature1. Even better, you can use the $(Build.SourceBranchName) variable to set it to the branch name.
The only downside of this numbering format is the $(BuildID) variable always increases, and does so at the Project Collection level. That means it doesn't reset when you increment your major and minor versions, and if you have multiple builds in your Collection, numbers will be skipped.
Other extensions such as gitversion can also be used to easily get SemVer compliant build numbers.
Packaging in Team Build
There are two standard ways to package your build output in Team Build. The first is to use OctoPack, and the second is to use the build tasks in the Octopus marketplace extension.
You can mix and match these two methods. For example, you might prefer to use OctoPack and the /p:RunOctoPack MS Build argument, but then use the Push and Create Release tasks from the extension.
Octopack and.NET Core
Octopack is not compatible with.NET core and we suggest using the extension instead.
Versioning when using OctoPack
Unless told otherwise, OctoPack will attempt to set the package version itself. You can see exactly how it tries to find a version on this documentation page.
More often than not, the version number will come from the [assembly: AssemblyVersion] attribute found in the AssemblyInfo.cs file (usually in the Properties folder of your project).
The assembly version number doesn't always behave the way we want. It may not change, and if it does, it may not change sequentially.
Setting the AssemblyVersion number to x.y.* will fix the two most common problems here. A version like 1.0.* will result in an always-increasing version number.
 1. If the version number is fixed (e.g., Octopus will complain that the package number already exists.
 2. If the version number only changes "revision" number (e.g. 1.0.0.*), numbers can repeat.
One problem remains - particularly for web projects. If you only change content files, triggering a new build won't update the version number because Team Build realizes no compilable code has changed. OctoPack won't get a new version number!
OctoPack recommendation
To solve all these issues, we recommend using the /p:OctoPackPackageVersion argument when using OctoPack. This lets you specify the version directly, and you can use build variables to specify the version number.
 1. Set the build definition build number format (described above) to a valid SemVer version.
 2. Add the appropriate /p:OctoPackPackageVersion MSBuild argument:
 - In the new build engine (Azure DevOps and from TFS 2015 onwards): /p:OctoPackPackageVersion=$(Build.BuildNumber)
 - In the older XAML-based builds: /p:OctoPackPackageVersion=$(TF_BUILD_BUILDNUMBER). You may also need to do some extra work for certain build definitions.
You can use the additional MSBuild arguments for OctoPack to give yourself more control over the packaging process.
Versioning when using the Octopus build tasks
If you're using the new Octopus Deploy extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace, you'll have access to a new Package Application build task.
Package application build task
This task does not provide you with a default version number - this is something you have to set yourself. Clearly it wouldn't be feasible to change this value every time you do a build, so we recommend you make use of the build variables that Team Build provides.
Build and Release variables can be found in the Microsoft Documentation, but the more useful ones include:
 - $(Build.BuildNumber) - This is the full build number (see above for setting an appropriate format).
 - $(Build.BuildID) - This is a unique, incrementing ID at the Project collection level. Every new build will give you a new number.
 - $(Build.SourceBranchName) - this is the last path segment in the name of the branch. For example, a branch of refs/heads/master will return master.
Build task recommendation
There are two options we recommend for specifying a version number to the Package Application task.
 1. Use a combination of static values and variables directly. For example, 1.0.$(Build.BuildID) will always give you a new version number.
 2. Use the full build number, and format that number appropriately as described above.
We recommend the second option for a few reasons.
First, it's very easy to match the build to the package because they'll have the same number, and secondly, if you have multiple pack steps, you only need to change a single version number.
Specifying the files to pack and push
One of the frequent causes of issues when using the Octopus build tasks is properly specifying the folders to pack and the NuGet package to push. Especially if you're using the hosted build server, it can be hard to figure out where everything ends up when the build is running.
Rather than guessing, it can be helpful to specify these folders specifically. Again, there are some useful build variables you can make use of.
 - $(Build.SourcesDirectory) - the location of your source before it gets built.
 - $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory) - A staging location for artifacts - useful for output files you want to use later (e.g. Nuget files).
 1. Use the /p:outdir= MSBuild argument in your compile step to specify where the compiled code should end up.
 2. In the Package Application step, put the location from step 1 into the Source Path field.
 3. In the Package Application step, put a new location into the Output Path field.
 4. In the Push Package(s) to Octopus step, specify the full path and filename from step 3 above.
By way of example, here's a nicely-configured set of build, pack, and push steps.

High concentrations map
Data allows us to see and quantify where things are happening. When creating maps about behaviors among the population, we tend to see patterns based on where most people live. Overcome this by showing the value as a percentage of the total. For example, this map shows us where people speak Spanish at home, based on data from the American Community Survey. To identify concentrations of Spanish speakers, use an Arcade expression, much like a Microsoft Excel formula.

How Flight Works: The Technical Perspective
How Flight transfers data to or from cloud object storage
Signiant Flight performs simple point-in-time mirroring, or one-way file synchronization. It can execute both uploads to the cloud (on-premises storage is the source, cloud object storage is the destination) and downloads from the cloud (cloud object storage is the source, on-premises storage is the destination).
The basic sync paradigm is that when a new file appears at the source, it is copied to the destination. If the file already exists at the destination (same name, size, and modified time/date), it is not transferred. If a different file with the same name exists at the destination, it will be overwritten with the source file.
Operationally, this means that when files are modified at the source, the destination files will be automatically updated when the transfer command is executed. Functionality is included for transferring individual files (which can be renamed upon transfer), multiple files, and an entire directory structure.
To provide maximum performance and flexibility, instances of the Flight server software are running in a number of different locations around the world for both AWS and Microsoft Azure. Maximum speed is achieved by ensuring that the Signiant cloud servers are located as close as possible to the customer's cloud storage tenancy.
It is important to note that transfer speed is optimized by using the Signiant SaaS Transfer Server instances closest to the cloud side of the transfer, not the on-premises side. The Signiant protocol will address any latency issues between on-premises storage and the cloud data center, so there's no need to minimize that network distance. The goal is to configure the Flight system so that data lands on a Signiant server in the same region as the cloud storage tenancy, making the final multi-stream HTTPS hop as short as possible.
The Flight utility
The Flight utility provides IT professionals with the ability to choose which cloud transfer server is used, allowing for trade-offs in system design. The domain name associated with the target Flight server (actually a set of load-balanced auto-scaling servers) is specified in the transfer command.
A list of server domains is available on the Signiant Support website, and for optimal performance the server domain in the same region as the target cloud storage should be specified — for example US West for Amazon. Additional domain names with less geographic specificity can be defined for use in the event that the primary servers aren't available.
For example, if the second server domain is set to US Amazon, servers elsewhere in the US will be used if US West is unavailable. There is also the option of using a global domain name, which via DNS will resolve using geolocation to the set of currently available servers closest to the client side of the transfer — thereby providing redundancy at the expense of transfer speed.
The ability to choose an optimal Flight server, combined with the fact that Signiant technology removes the problem of distance-related latency, provides customers with significant flexibility in the design of global cloud systems. For example, a customer in Latin America might choose to buy cloud storage located in the U.S. where it is much less expensive — and Flight will ensure that upload performance doesn't suffer. An American company might want to locate sensitive European customer data in a cloud data center that is within the EU, and again Flight will ensure that access times are not negatively impacted by this strategy.
The functionality noted above is all executed via CLI commands on the client side. Customers can have as many instances of client-side software deployed around the world as they wish, and each client can be separately configured for transfer details and server location. For a central view of their Flight deployment, customers have access to a web-based console as illustrated below. This console allows for configuration of system-wide elements such as storage accounts and keys, and provides detailed insight into utilization.
Flight's System Architecture
The core Signiant file movement protocol can transfer large data sets between the storage on the customer's network and the cloud up to 200x faster than mechanisms such as FTP or other TCP-based approaches. But in addition to acceleration, Flight also provides other cloud-specific features to increase the speed of data movement into and out of cloud object storage.
In order to achieve end-to-end accelerated transfers into cloud object storage, the data must be moved in two pipelined stages.
It is first transferred via the Signiant acceleration protocol from the on-premises location to a server in the cloud data center, and once in the cloud it is split apart and written to object storage via multiple parallel HTTPS streams. This two-stage transfer process must be carefully orchestrated in order to achieve maximum speed.
A full Flight deployment is shown in the system architecture diagram below.
The part of the architecture where the actual movement of the data occurs, via the pipelined mechanism as described above, can be referred to as the 'data plane' or 'data layer'. In the diagram below, the green section and the lower blue section constitute the data plane, where the data moves from the customer's on-premises storage into cloud object storage.
Signiant file transfer software is required at both ends to handle the data movement. Flight client-side software is installed by the customer on a server at the on-premises end of the transfer. This client software is CLI-controlled, and can be used either stand-alone or in conjunction with pre-built Upload and Download workflow components for Signiant's Manager+Agents.
At the cloud end of the transfer, in the center blue section of the diagram above, no customer involvement is needed — there's no software to deploy or VMs to procure and manage. A key part of Flight's differentiated value is the fact that the cloud compute resource and server-side software in the data plane are delivered by Signiant as a SaaS offering.
Flight customers are provided with access to Signiant's patented multi-tenant, cloud-native SaaS, which provides the data transfer in a highly available, load balanced, auto-scaling manner. At periods of peak utilization, more servers will automatically spin up to accommodate the extra load, spinning down again when traffic decreases. Throughput will never be reduced due to high customer traffic, and there is no extra charge for an increase in the number of transfer servers managing the data movement.
The blue section at the top of the diagram represents the last part of the Flight architecture, the functionality that orchestrates the entire system and can be referred to as the 'control plane' or 'control layer'. This, too, is a multi-tenant, cloud-native SaaS operated by Signiant on behalf of their customers. Via the Internet connections shown by the blue lines, this part of the system serves the web interface for the management console, coordinates the transfers themselves, and collects data for billing and tracking purposes.
In summary, a Flight deployment is a complex, distributed system — but most of the complexity is abstracted away from the customer by Signiant. Both the control plane SaaS and the data plane SaaS for Flight are fully-managed solutions where all the backend technical tasks such as load balancing, redundancy and failover, server management, and software upgrades are administered by Signiant.

WANON BRIDGE (สะพานวานร)
Text & photographs by Tricky Vandenberg - November 2009
Updated June 2019
Saphan Wanon or the Monkey Bridge and sometimes called Thep Mi Bridge is an old
bridge located on the city island in the southern part of Ayutthaya in Pratu Chai Subdistrict. The bridge is situated behind the
Ayutthaya Historical Study Center. Wat Am
Mae (vanished) stood before in its vicinity (south).
The brick bridge was built over
Khlong Pratu Thep Mi, which connected the old
Lopburi River (later Khlong Mueang or City Canal) in the north with the Chao Phraya
in the south at Pratu Thep Mi. The northern part of the canal was called by the
Lam Khu Pak Sra and cut through the Bueng Phra Ram area. Khlong Pratu Thep
Mi was partly filled in after the fall of Ayutthaya in 1767 and is as thus at present
The foundations of the Wanon Bridge are still visible. The brick bridge in European style
was probably identical to
Saphan Pa Than. It was an arched construction with three
sharply curved bows, the middle one higher and wider than the two others, making it
possible for boats to pass underneath.
The Wanon Bridge is mentioned in the old texts of the
Kamhaikhan Khun Luang Ha
, the Kamhaikhan Khun Luang Wat Pradu Songtham and the Athibai phaen
thi phra nakhon si ayutthaya
from Phraya Boran Rachathanin wherein is written that
there was "
a brick bridge called Monkey Bridge, from Great Khaek Village Road
to Net Village Road across the Thetsami Gate Canal …
" [1][2]
The Wanon Bridge connected west towards the
White Clay Bridge (also called Sing
Bridge) over
Khlong Chakrai Noi and east towards the Talat Jin Bridge over Khlong
Pratu Jin.
Some remnants of the Wanon Bridge were still visible until the Year of the Great Flood
(2011). In the years after, there was a large overhaul of all the monastic ruins in and
around the City of Ayutthaya. The old structure was unfortunately not preserved and a
completely new bridge was constructed in situ. The bridge is situated in geographical
coordinates: 14° 20' 55.01" N, 100° 33' 57.68" E.

Trading The Butterfly Pattern
The Butterfly pattern, discovered by Bryce Gilmore, is a reversal chart pattern that consists of four distinct swings in the market.
The rules to identify the Butterfly trading pattern are strict and requires the use of certain Fibonacci ratios that were made public by Scott Carney.
If you use ratios from Fibonacci to identify certain patterns, you are essentially trading a harmonic pattern which the Butterfly pattern is considered as.
In this article, you are going to learn a Butterfly Pattern trading strategy that includes:
 1. How to identify the Butterfly pattern using the required Fibonacci retracement and extension ratios
 2. How to calculate your stop loss level
 3. Where to set your profit target
These types of patterns, harmonic patterns, are not for everyone.
You must buy into Fibonacci as a means of trading and believe there is an edge in doing so.
That said, one important aspect of the Butterfly trading pattern is an A-B=C-D formation and that is something I personally use as a rule of thumb for profit targets and potential turning points. It does not have to be an exact match
How To Identify A Butterfly Harmonic Pattern
The Butterfly pattern is similar to the Gartely as both form a warped "W" or "M" shape. The difference is the Gartley is considered a completed pattern when a Fibonacci retracement ratio and an extension level coincide
The Butterfly is considered to be complete when two Fibonacci extensions coincide.
For the Butterfly pattern to be found, we need four points in the market: X, A, B, C and D, which is considered a Potential Reversal Zone and not a point.
It is this location you would look for a trade position.
Each swing has a relationship to another which are specific Fibonacci numbers and are needed to validate the swings:
 - AB leg should equal 78.6% retracement of the XA leg
 - BC leg should be between 38.2 and 88.6% retrace of the A-B leg
 - C-D swing is 168 to 261.8% extension of A-B swing
 - The most important number in this pattern is the 127% extension of the XA leg
 - Both bullish butterfly patterns and bearish patterns use the same ratios
bearish butterfly trading pattern
This is an example of a Bearish Butterfly Pattern where we would want to short a reversal. The red star is the Potential Reversal Zone and you would look to position in the trade in that zone.
Because the reversal zone can be known ahead of time (1.27% extension of X-A / 1.68-2.618% ext of A-B), you can set an alert for when price enters this zone.
How To Trade The Butterfly Pattern
Tradingview has a superb tool (XABCD pattern) for drawing the Butterfly pattern but it can also be done with the Fibonacci tool.
butterfly chart patterns
 1. This is the X point and is the first place we click with the tool
 2. This ending forms that XA swing
 3. We click at this point and we get the AB leg (70% retrace in this example)
 4. Clicking here gives us the BC leg (C ends at an 87.9% pullback against the AB leg)
 5. This is the Potential Reversal Zone and completes the CD leg (This forms a 153% extension of XA leg and 235% extension of BC leg
Remember, the Potential Reversal Zone is known in advance.
The following chart shows the same chart using Fibonacci retracements and extensions. After point four ( BC leg) has completed, you can then project upwards to find the zones and mark off the areas of interest.
potential reversal zone of butterfly pattern
The red zone is the 1.618 extension of the BC leg and the 1.272 (1.618) extension of the XA leg. This is the minimum zone and you would prefer to have a price closer to the 1.272 end of the zone.
The yellow zone includes the extreme extension level of the BC leg and the minimum 1.272 of the XA leg.
While the hard and fast rule is the AB leg must be a retract 78.6% of XA leg, let's agree that markets are not exact and close is close enough.
Stop Loss Location + Profit Targets
Every method of trading should have a stop loss and the harmonic Butterfly pattern has a built-in stop-loss location.
Your stop loss on a short reversal trade should go just beyond the trading zone outlined via the Fib ratios. Some traders, if the price has not breached the 1.618 extension of the XA leg, will put their stop loss above that location.
Profit targets can be Fibonacci retracements of the entire CD leg. You can also trail your stop above each high (for a short) each time a new low is made
stop loss profit targets for butterfly trading pattern
When considering profits, use the levels as zones and monitor price action. What we don't want to see is strong momentum against our positions and remember that Fibonacci levels hold no magic in the markets.
Learn to line up the levels with actual support and resistance levels that may affect the direction of price.
Butterfly Pattern – A Twist
The important numbers of the Butterfly are the 78.6% level and the 127% extension level. We can use those two levels to form the bones of a trading strategy.
This is an uptrend and we pull the Fibs from highs to low.
When price meets the 78.6% level, we take a long position with the 127% extension level as our price target.
Note that at the top of the chart where the red X is located, price did not breach the 78.6% level and therefore there is no long trade taken. We then reverse to trading shorts.
Trading Reactions
Another method that will utilize the same important ratios of the Butterfly pattern allows us to play both sides of the trend.
In this case, we are trading the break of the 78.6% level and taking profits at that 127% level.
The yellow dashes are the break of the 78.6 levels and the yellow splash is the 127 level where you'd take profits and reverse if possible.
We will then look to see a reaction in the opposite direction of our previous trade. We are looking to take advantage of:
 - Momentum once price breaks the 78.6% level
 - Reversal momentum once price hits the 127% level, reverses, and traps traders that must exit.
The last trade on the right is a current long that just broke the 78.6% level.
As for stop locations, you could use a ratio of 61.8 to tuck your stop behind
Butterfly Pattern Trading Strategy Wrap Up
The Butterfly pattern can be simple to spot when you see a pullback (AB leg) from the initial XA leg. You will then look for a higher low (uptrend) that would form the end of the BC leg.
The stop loss and price targets are built-in which takes much discretion out of the Butterfly strategy.
The biggest issue for a trader is defining swings in the market that can be used to draw the pattern. The rule of thumb is to use a swing that is obvious.
Look around your charts for the pattern and define your trading rules for a Butterfly strategy or for the last two just mentioned.

Calculations of illuminance for a given interior include the portions of Luminous Flux contributed by all simultaneously illuminated luminaires plus the light reflected from the room perimeter (walls, ceiling, floor). Illuminance can be calculated for any given point from the Luminous Intensity of a light source and the Distance between the light source and the illuminated surface.
Horizontal or vertical Illuminance at a given point (point illuminance) can be calculated from Luminous Intensity and the relevant geometrical conditions from the following formulae:
Horizontal illuminance Eh
Vertical illuminance Ev
Cylindrical illuminance Ez
Cylindrical Illuminance Ez is the average of vertical illuminance in all directions (usually 4) around a point (on a vertical axis).

How to Tell If a Papaya is Ripe
 - TIP: Papayas will ripen more quickly when put in a paper bag with ethylene-producing fruits, such as apples or bananas.
 - Step 2: Note the stem end Examine the end where the stalk was. The papaya will ripen well if there is a yellow ring, but if the ring is green, it won't ripen.
 - Step 3: Examine the papaya's skin Examine the papaya's skin. Wrinkled skin will not affect the taste of the papaya, but sunken areas or bruises indicate rough handling during transit.
 - Step 4: Press the papaya Press on the papaya with your fingers. A ripe papaya should be soft and retain slight indentations, but a papaya that isn't ripe will be hard. If it is too soft and mushy, it's overripe.
 - Step 5: Smell the papaya Smell the papaya. A ripe papaya will smell faintly sweet. If the papaya has no scent, it isn't ripe yet. But if it has a strong, sweet odor, it's overripe.
 - FACT: Hawaii is the only state in the U.S. to commercially produce papayas.

In this study, we quantify the indirect or spillover effect of economic complexity on growth based on the following two facts: i) economic complexity is an important factor in explaining GDP growth rates, and ii) there is a clear regional pattern in the states' economic complexity, i.e., the economic complexity variable shows a positive spatial autocorrelation. Our results provide two insights: first, that the estimated positive spillover effect of complexity on growth is not negligible, particularly for states in the north of the country, whose own economic complexity is as important as that of their neighbors. In contrast, the spillover effect in southern states is negative. Being located next to states with low levels of economic complexity has a significant negative externality that almost overrides the positive effect of a state's own level of complexity. Our findings lead us to conclude that spillover effects may have played a more important role in explaining the diverse pattern of growth between northern and southern Mexico than previously thought. %U _URL_ %J Estudios de Economía %0 Journal Article %P 221-243%V 47 %N 2 %@ 0718-5286 %8 2020-10-21

National Trust and Savings Association
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)|
National Trust and Savings Association, abbreviated NT&SA, is a designation used by national banks in the United States to denote their national charter. It is significantly less popular than the standard designation National Association (N.A.). Notably, it was used until 1998 by Bank of America NT&SA, the only major bank to utilize the designation. It was also construed to denote the character of a savings and loan association, with a focus on home mortgages and savings accounts.

Returns a string representation of the key attribute(s) that is suitable for use in an HTML DOM id. This can be overwritten to customize the default generated string representation if desired. If you need to read back a key from a dom_id in order to query for the underlying database record, you should write a helper like 'person_record_from_dom_id' that will extract the key either based on the default implementation (which just joins all key attributes with '-') or on your own overwritten version of the method. By default, this implementation passes the key string through a method that replaces all characters that are invalid inside DOM ids, with valid ones. You need to make sure yourself that your dom ids are valid, in case you overwrite this method.

An oxymoron. Before one receives a degree, one is an undergraduate (has not graduated). Upon receiving a degree that person becomes a graduate, therefore one can't hold a degree and be an undergraduate. Degrees earned after ones bacelor degree are called graduate degrees, which seems to have led to the mistaken notion that a bachelor degree should be called an "undergraduate degree".

Marshall Islands Age of Consent & Sex Laws Age of Consent in Marshall Islands
What is the Marshall Islands Age of Consent?
The Age of Consent in Marshall Islands is 16 years old. The age of consent is the minimum age at which an individual is considered legally old enough to consent to participation in sexual activity. Individuals aged 15 or younger in Marshall Islands are not legally able to consent to sexual activity, and such activity may result in prosecution for statutory rape or the equivalent local law.
Marshall Islands statutory rape law is violated when an individual has consensual sexual contact with a person under age 16.
Marshall Islands does not have a close-in-age exemption. Close in age exemptions, commonly known as "Romeo and Juliet laws" in the United States, are put in place to prevent the prosecution of individuals who engage in consensual sexual activity when both participants are significantly close in age to each other, and one or both partners are below the age of consent.
Because there is no close-in-age exemption in Marshall Islands, it is possible for two individuals both under the age of 16 who willingly engage in intercourse to both be prosecuted for statutory rape, although this is rare. Similarly, no protections are reserved for sexual relations in which one participant is a 15 year old and the second is a 16 or 17 year old.
Age of Consent across the world
The Age of Consent ranges from as low as 11 to as high as 20 years old across the world. Click any country for details, or view countries with the highest & lowest ages of consent.

What is a paragon referred to in painting
A paragon is defined as the ideal or perfect example of something. A paragon is something against which everything else is judged or matched to, seen as the ideal form of something. In the case of art, a paragon is typically a model or one who sits for a painting—they are the ideal character or representation for what the artist is attempting to paint.
The term originates from "paragone," an Italian word for a stone to test the purity of gold. It is intended to mean that a paragon is the item or individual against which other things are compared and tested—the perfect example. Additionally, the term "paragone" was used to define a debate between the skill and uniqueness of painting and sculpture in the Renaissance in an attempt to compare the two and determine which was the superior art form.

Is there a way to generate an area by connecting points?
I have got 3 lights and I want to connect them and use the resulting shape as a mask.
So I need a filter that connect points and fill the area at least.
As far as I know, there is no way to connect mask points with something by expressions, right?
You can use the Beam effect to create a line to connect two points. Use the following Expression example to connect the Beam's 2D points to the light layer's 3D position property -
LightLayer01 = thisComp.layer("Light1");
Once you have 3 Beam layers linking all three lights, you can fill in the area defined by the 3 Beams with another layer, an Adjustment Layer, and apply the Paint Bucket effect on the Adjustment Layer.
Precomp or nest this comp and use the result as your mask.


Najdi sheep
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Najdi sheep in Unaizah, Saudi Arabia
The Najdi or Nejdi is a breed of domestic sheep native to the Najd region of the Arabian Peninsula. Though it is primarily raised in Saudi Arabia, Nadji sheep are also present in Kuwait, Jordan, Oman and Iraq.[1]
The Najdi has a distinctive appearance that has even been celebrated in Saudi "sheep beauty pageants" not unlike livestock shows and sales in the West.[2] They are a very tall breed, averaging 76–86 centimeters (30–34 inches) in height at the withers.[1] They have long, Roman nosed faces with drooping ears. Ewes are polled and rams may be either polled or have scurs. They are generally black with white faces and white on the legs and tail. Top Najdi ewes can sell for 20,000–30,000 Saudi riyals (US$5,300–8,000), while rams which can sire many more offspring can fetch hundreds of thousands.[2]
Najdi are highly adapted to life in desert conditions, though it is less drought tolerant than some breeds, such as the Awassi.[3] [4] Though its meat may be consumed locally, it is especially valued for its milk and long, straight wool.[4]

Here we propose a psychological model of over-purchasing informed by animal foraging theory and make predictions about variables that predict over-purchasing by either exacerbating or mitigating the anticipation of future scarcity. These variables include additional scarcity cues (e.g. loss of income), distress (e.g. depression), psychological factors that draw attention to these cues (e.g. neuroticism) or to reassuring messages (eg. analytical reasoning) or which facilitate over-purchasing (e.g. income).
We tested our model in parallel nationally representative internet surveys of the adult general population conducted in the United Kingdom (UK: N = 2025) and the Republic of Ireland (RoI: N = 1041) 52 and 31 days after the first confirmed cases of COVID-19 were detected in the UK and RoI, respectively.
About three quarters of participants reported minimal over-purchasing. There was more over-purchasing in RoI vs UK and in urban vs rural areas. When over-purchasing occurred, in both countries it was observed across a wide range of product categories and was accounted for by a single latent factor. It was positively predicted by household income, the presence of children at home, psychological distress (depression, death anxiety), threat sensitivity (right wing authoritarianism) and mistrust of others (paranoia). Analytic reasoning ability had an inhibitory effect. Predictor variables accounted for 36% and 34% of the variance in over-purchasing in the UK and RoI respectively. With some caveats, the data supported our model and points to strategies to mitigate over-purchasing in future crises.

Set the Document Root Path
Tugboat does not try to guess where your document root lives in your repository. Likewise, it does not try to guess where a web server image expects to serve the default document root from. This means you are responsible for making this link in your configuration file
Each web server image expects the document root to be in a different location. This is a side effect of using the Official Docker Images. The images provided by Tugboat store this document root location in an environment variable named $DOCROOT for convenience.
Use this configuration to link the document root to a directory named /docroot in your git repository. This works for the following images provided by Tugboat: tugboatqa/httpd, tugboatqa/nginx, tugboatqa/php:apache

Tipster Alexandre Marion sends us a tip about the AutoCAD Block Attribute Manager command, better known as Battman.
"I've found a command called Battman (pretty easy to remember, right?) that lets you reorganize a block the way you want it, without having to enter the Block Editor. This really helps out in situations such as dealing with a block made by someone with no experience."
Notes from Cadalyst Tip Patrol: Battman is the command you want to use in AutoCAD to help you manage the block attributes of a specific block. It doesn't change the information that you put into a block that has attributes; it manages the attribute objects of a block instead.
To use it, type Battman on the Command line. This will bring up the Block Attribute Manager window. Select a block, then edit the settings of the attributes in that block. If you edit a block's attributes, remember to press the Sync button; this will update every instance of that block in your file.


How To Play Call Three Darts
How To Play Pick 3 Darts
Call 3 darts is one of the few games that is different every time you play. Sure the rules are the same but from round to round, game to game, the targets are made up on the fly.
You will need at least two players to get started but as with most games, the more the merrier. So how do you play call three darts?
To play call three darts each player takes turns calling out targets for the active player to hit. If their dart hits they are awarded a point. The player with the most points at the end of ten rounds wins.
It is actually way more fun than it sounds and as with most games, there is a little more to it than just throwing at random targets, so let take a closer look at the full rules.
Call Three Darts Rules
Once the first player reaches the oche, it is up to the person who plays next to call three targets on the board, they can be any number 1-20 or the bullseye.
That player who is up must now try to hit those targets in order with their 3 darts. They get one dart per number, So the first dart must be thrown at the first number called, the 2nd dart will go to the next number and the last dart will go to the 3rd number that was called.
A dart only counts if it hits the correct number that the thrower was aiming for. So if the second dart hits the 3rd number that was called, it does not count.
Each time the correct number is hit, it is worth one point, a double is worth two points and a triple is worth three. The outer ring of the bullseye is worth two points and the middle is worth three.
The player with the highest score at the end of ten rounds wins.
Scoring Call Three Darts
To score call three darts, you can write the player's names across the top of the board, then write the number 1-10 down the left-hand side to signify the 10 rounds.
After a player has thrown the darts you can write their points total for that round under their name. Remember doubles are worth two points and triples are worth three.
At the end of the game, you can add each column up and the player with the highest total wins.
Alternatively, you can make 2 columns for each player. In the first column, you would mark the score for the round and the second column will be a running total (sum of all rounds played so far).
In the event of a tie, additional rounds are added until there is a clear winner.
Call Three Tips & Strategies
Calling numbers all around the board will keep your opponents on their toes. Going from 6 to 13 to 17 is not fun.
If you know the numbers your opponent is weak at, make them go for those.
Call Three Darts Variations
Instead of making one dart per number called you can have it so that the thrower must hit the first number before they can move to the second, and second before they can go for the third.

Identify and Remove a Processor
Caution - Be careful not to touch the processor socket pins. The processor socket pins are very fragile. A light touch can bend the processor socket pins beyond repair.
Caution - Whenever you remove a processor, replace it with another processor and reinstall the processor heatsink; otherwise, the server might overheat due to improper airflow. See Install a Processor.
 1. Prepare the server for service.
 1. Power off the server and disconnect the power cords from the power supplies.
 See Powering Down the Server.
 2. Extend the server to the maintenance position.
 See Extend the Server to the Maintenance Position.
 3. Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist, and then to a metal area on the chassis.
 See Take Antistatic Measures.
 4. Remove the server top cover.
 See Remove the Server Top Cover.
 5. Lift the air baffles up and out of the server and set them aside.
 2. Identify the location of the failed processor by pressing the Fault Remind button on the motherboard I/O card.
 Note - When you press the Fault Remind button, an LED located next to the Fault Remind button lights green, indicates that there is sufficient voltage in the fault remind circuit to light any fault LEDs that were lit due to a failure. If this LED fails to light when you press the Fault Remind button, it is likely that the capacitor powering the fault remind circuit lost its charge. This can happen if you press the Fault Remind button for a long time with fault LEDs lit, or if power was removed from the server for more than 15 minutes.
 The processor fault LED for the failed processor lights. The processor fault LEDs are located next to the processors. See Motherboard Status Indicators.
 - If the processor fault LED is off, the processor is operating properly.
 - If the processor fault LED is on (amber), the processor has failed and must be replaced.

 3. Using a Torx T30 screwdriver, loosen the four captive nuts that secure the processor-heatsink module to the socket: fully loosen nut 4, then 3, then 2, then 1 [1].
 image:Figure showing processor-heatsink module being removed from the socket.
 4. Lift the processor-heatsink module from the socket [2].
 Always hold the processor-heatsink module along the axis of the fins to prevent damage.
 5. Separate the processor from the heatsink.
 1. Flip over the processor-heatsink module, place it on a flat surface, and locate the thermal interface material (TIM) breaker slot.
 image:Figure showing the processor-heatsink module being flipped over to locate the TIM breaker slot.
 2. While holding down the processor-heatsink module by the edges, insert a flat blade screwdriver into the TIM breaker slot.
 The blade of the screwdriver goes into the slot between the heatsink and processor carrier, not between the processor and processor carrier.
 image:Figure showing a screwdriver being used to pry the processor from the heatsink.
 3. Using a rocking motion, gently pry the corner of the processor carrier away from the heatsink.
 4. Remove the processor carrier (with processor still attached) from the heatsink by prying or pinching the plastic latch tabs that attach the processor to the heatsink.
 image:Figure showing the processor carrier being detached from the heatsink.
 Caution - A thin layer of thermal grease separates the heatsink and the processor. This grease acts as an adhesive. Do not allow the thermal grease to contaminate the work space or other components.
 6. If you plan on reusing either the heatsink or processor, use an alcohol pad to clean the thermal grease on the underside of the heatsink and on the top of the processor. If reusing a processor, do not remove it from the processor carrier.
 Caution - Failure to clean thermal grease from the heatsink could result in the accidental contamination of the processor socket or other components. Also, be careful not to get the grease on your fingers, as this could contaminate components.

A portable basketball goal can provide you and your family with the same amount of fun as an in-ground basketball system with much less hassle. Portable basketball goals come with a hollow base for support, so there is no need to worry about digging a hole or pouring concrete to secure the pole. Since portable basketball goals are free standing, they do require a secure base to ensure that the basket does not tip over and cause injury or damage.
Filling Your Base With Water
Many basketball goals come with 35 gallon bases that can be filled to ensure that it doesn't shift or fall during use or bad weather. Water is the simplest choice, as it is easily accessible to most homes. To quickly secure the basketball goal, use a hose to fill the base completely.
Filling Your Base With Sand
Filling the base with sand is the option suggested by most portable basketball goal manufacturers for a number of reasons. Most importantly, sand is much more dense and heavier than water, and therefore can create a more sturdy foundation for your basketball hoop. Sand weighs just over 13 pounds per gallon while water weighs just over 8, making it the more efficient and reliable option.
Making The Right Choice
Both sand and water will work, and both have their advantages and disadvantages. Water is likely more readily available. Sand is more expensive and filling your base with it can be a messy job, but it is more effective. Basketball hoop manufacturers warn against keeping water in the base during the winter months when there is a possibility it could freeze and damage the base. Water also evaporates, creating more of a danger of your hoop shifting or falling due to a lack of stability. Furthermore, a leak of sand will be much easier to spot.
A Word of Warning
Safety is the most important concern when determining how to anchor your basketball goal, and all basketball goal manufacturers warn against placing bricks, bags of sand or concrete on top of the base. Choosing to do this rather than taking the time to fill the base can cause lead to damage from the hoop falling, or serious injury to the people using the goal.

An efficient polynomial interpolation method is proposed to reduce the computational burden of the coregistration of synthetic aperture radar images in interferometric processing. The method can be viewed as an application of the Farrow interpolator technique and requires a series of 2-D fast Fourier transforms (FFTs). Mainly, it has two advantages relative to the usual coregistration procedure. First, it does not require to compute or store in memory any kernel sample. Second, it involves less floating-point operations than the conventional coregistration, with a clear advantage if the image needs to be oversampled. The efficiency of the method is based on the fact that the complexity of one 2-D FFT is much smaller than the complexity of one spatial convolution. These advantages are demonstrated by both analyzing the interpolation procedure itself and by defining an efficient code implementation.

How To Measure Arrow Length
When I first got into archery, I did some initial research and knew about the different bows sizes but does the length of the arrow really matter? Surely an arrow is an arrow, right? You just nock it into the bow and shoot? Nope, there is a lot more to it than that!
Don't worry though, it's not as complicated as it might sound. The aim of this guide is to help show you what Arrow Length is, why it's important and how to learn what length of arrows you should use.
It's very important that you need to understand is that not all arrows are the same. The arrows that people use are based on their needs and their size, they are measure to them. It is, therefore, a really bad idea to shoot with someone else arrows, as they won't be suitable for you.
Arrow Length Vs Arrow Size
The first thing to understand is that the length and the size are two completely different things.
 - The length of the arrow refers to the overall length of the shaft
 - Arrow size is referring to the spine and how stiff the arrow is. It is used to determine the thickness of the shaft and how much you are able to flex it before the arrow bends.
 - Arrow Length Is Important For Your Safety
 - No doubt you can figure out that the arrow is the most dangerous part of archery, injuries can come from arrows before they have even left the bow. When you draw the bowstring back with the arrow attached, if the arrow is too short it could result in it falling off the rest.
But why is that so bad?
If the arrow falls off the rest at the point of shooting, the risk is that it could shoot straight into the hand holding the bow grip…Ouch, that is going to hurt!
This kind of injury will cause lasting impacts on not just your archery but will also impact all aspects of your life. Luckily, if you do measure your arrow length correctly, this shouldn't happen!
The arrow should be big enough that even when at full draw, the arrow tip should still be slightly past the riser.
How To Measure Correct Arrow Length
There are three methods that can be done to determine what length of arrow you need, two of these can be done on your own whereas the other you will need someone to help. You will also need a tape measure and something to mark such as a Sharpie.
There are also a couple of things you need to ensure before starting;
 - Ensure Correct Posture
 - In order to get the correct measurements, you need to imagine you are standing at the target and ready to draw your bow. Its therefore very important that when taking measurements, you have the correct posture and stance.
 - Correct Drawing of the Bow
 - As well as posture, you need to pretend that you are actually drawing a bow. If you do have a bow then you could actually draw it with an arrow being nocked. (but don't let go of the bowstring!)
 Make sure the hand you hold the bow with is stretched our and your drawing hand is at the anchor point. You need to it be as exact and correct as possible to keep your shoulders up and in a straight line.
For advice on learning about drawing a bow, check out my how to shoot a bow guide
How To Measure Arrow Length – The 3 Best Methods
1. Measuring Your Arm
This method can be done alone if you do not have someone to help, although you will need a tape measure. Hold the tape measure with the hand that you would usually hold your bow with. With your drawing hand pull on the metal part of the tape measure and stretch out the tape until it reaches your anchor point.
With your hand that's holding the tape measure, flip the switch that locks it in position. Look at the measurement and add an additional 1 inch, this would be your arrow length.
If you do have someone that can help measure then stretch your arms out in front of you and extend your fingers with your palms together. If your friend then measures from your chest to your fingertips and adds an additional 1 inch, you will find the correct length for your arrows.
2. Measuring Your Draw
This second method you will need someone to help, as well as a measuring tape and a bow for you to hold. To determine the arrow length you simply need to hold up the bow and draw the bowstring back to your chosen anchor point, your friend will then need to measure from the string to the front of the riser. Once they have this measurement, they will then want to add an extra half an inch.
3. Using A Draw Arrow
A draw arrow is an arrow that has all of the different measurements on it, therefore when you draw it back you can ask someone to tell you're the measurement. Another method of doing this would be to use an extra long arrow and go to full draw and ask someone to mark it with a pen and then measure the distance. Proper draw arrows are however pretty low cost and a little more exact, you can often find them on Amazon.
I hope this article will show you just how important it is to get the right length of arrows. By following one of the above 3 methods you should have the right arrow length and be able to fully draw your bow, without any risk of injury.
Adam has been enjoying the sport of archery since 2010, intially getting the bug for it whilst on holiday and trying it out in an activity center. Since his very first eperiance of holding a bow and arrow, he fell in love with it and can now be found at the range or in the great outdoors as often as possible.
His main go to bow type is a recurve but he loves shooting from compounds as well. Adam created The Archery Guide as a way to help others get into this great activity and to share his knowledge/experiences.

The Southfury River is likely Kalimdor's most prominent river. Beginning as a small stream in the highlands surrounding Mount Hyjal, it grows into a wide, swift-flowing river that forms the boundary between Ashenvale[95, 48] Forest and Azshara, and further south, the border between the Northern Barrens and Durotar, where nasty creatures known as crocolisks patrol the waters. The river empties into the Great Sea in a cascading waterfall just northeast of the goblin port town of Ratchet.
There are two bridges that span the Southfury River: one leading into the capital city, Orgrimmar, in the north and one that crosses from Durotar into the Northern Barrens more to the south.
In the Cataclysm, the river floods the southwestern part of Durotar. A goblin with a riverboat, Horton Hornblower, can also be found where the river empties near Ratchet.

Boa Spot colour vision sensor enhances automated inspection
18 Jan 2018
Boa Spot Colour models are available with a 640 x 480 pixel resolution CMOS sensor. They are supplied with a choice of 6, 8, 12 or 16 mm M12 lenses with an integrated white LED ring light, or with a C mount lens adapter to allow a choice of lens and external lighting. All models feature embedded vision inspection tools.
The use of colour imaging can offer key benefits for the inspection process. Colour inspection is crucial where:
- The colour of the object facilitates detection of the object
- Objects of identical size and shape can only be differentiated by colour
- The colour quality and consistency of the object is an important factor in the overall quality of the product
- The colour of the object can help determine the relative quality of the product
The Boa Spot family of vision systems combine the power and flexibility of a BOA vision system with integrated optics, light and easy-to-use setup software and a low cost of ownership. This allows the distribution of vision processing across the production line. More points of inspection lead to better failure analysis and faster, easier corrective actions, which in turn improves quality, reduces scrap, and increases throughput.
The low starting price point is below the capital expense threshold for many companies, while the integrated light and lens configuration saves additional costs. The easy-to–use application interface means that little training investment is required and the built-in standard factory communication protocols brings low-cost factory integration.
Boa Spot vision sensors are supplied with a set of robust embedded vision tools for part locating, counting and measuring and feature or defect detection. The Boa Spot Colour SL model offers a basic set of inspection tools, while the Boa Spot Colour EL model offers additional tools and advanced capabilities for more complex tasks.
Any of these vision tools can be combined and used multiple times to solve simple or complex inspection tasks, meaning that the vision sensor can be adapted for a wide range of industrial applications. Both models allow up to 32 of these measurement sequences to be stored, so that they can accommodate different product types on the same line.
Factory integration is made particularly simple:
- Throughand surface-mounting options and a slim form factor (61mm x 58mm x 57mm) allows BOA Spot to fit into tight spaces.
- Robust build quality with IP67 rating allows use in harsh industrial/wash down conditions
- Standard factory communication protocols, such as Ethernet/IP and PROFINET are directly supported
- Inspected images can be transferred to a networked drive via FTP
In addition, remote setup, display and monitoring can be set up using the software user interface, which is quick to learn and suitable for novice and expert users alike.

According to Knibb Sibley, Martha Brae river has given its name to the town near its mouth and to the watershed which it drains. It has its source at Windsor and flows into
the sea at Rock after passing the village of the same name. The
name appears to be a corruption of the Spanish Rio Para Matar
Tiberon shown on a Spanish map dated 1680. It was a main artery
in Trelawny and links many of the sugar plantations (see Tour of
the Martha Brae -in prep-)
The Spanish connection actually originates in the early days of Spanish Occupation, when, according to Phillippo it was known as Melilla/Manilla, one of the first three towns in Jamaica. This may be incorrect, as Annotto Bay may have been the Melilla in question.
The present Martha Brae town was created by Henry Cunliffe in 1762
out of the eastern portion of his sugar estate, Holland. He named the town Lyttelton,
after the then-Governor of Jamaica, William Lyttelton, but this
name was gradually lost and the town reverted to the older name of
the nearby river.
Martha Brae watershed is one of Forestry Department's administrative unit and is shown in the above image.


Shear Force
Last updated: February 15, 2019
What Does Shear Force Mean?
Shear force is the force acting on a substance in a direction perpendicular to the extension of the substance, acting in a direction to a planar cross section of a body.
Shear force is the summation of the effect of shear stress over a surface, and often results in shear strain. Bending moment and shear force calculations are essential while designing any structural members.
Shear force is also known as shearing force.
Corrosionpedia Explains Shear Force
Shear force is an internal force in any material which is usually caused by any external force acting perpendicular to the material, or a force which has a component acting tangent to the material. Shearing forces are unaligned forces pushing one part of a body in one direction, and another part of the body in the opposite direction. When the forces are aligned into each other, they are called compression forces.
For example, a force of 10 newtons (N) is exerted at the edge of a beam. This is an external force. Since the beam is a rigid structure, the force is internally transferred all along the beam. This internal force is known as shear force. The shear force between one end and the other is usually plotted on a shear force diagram. Compared to tensile and compressive stress and strain, shear forces act over an area which is in line with the forces.
Using these diagrams, the type and size of a member of a given material can be easily determined. Transverse loading also induces shear forces that cause shear deformation of the material and increase the transverse deflection of the member.

A harmonic reduction technique for cycloconverter propulsion drives.
IEE 7th International Conference on Electrical Machines and Drives.
It is well known that cycloconverter drive systems can give rise to increased motor noise and vibration. This is mainly due to the harmonic distortion present in the output voltage and current waveforms. This paper describes research undertaken to reduce specific harmonic components in these waveforms. The aim has been to reduce those harmonics considered to be particularly troublesome in a typical marine electrical propulsion system. Specific harmonics in the output of the cycloconverter have been satisfactorily controlled and attenuated.

How to use BitMap in Turbo C++
This simple program explain you about how to use BitMap in Turbo C++.
NOTE :Before Running this program you have to copy one file in your "bgi" directory. That file either you have to download from the net or i will provide you. The file name is "SVGA256.BGI". Copy this file at your " tc\bgi\ ". Your tc path. I am not able to attach this file because the file extension is not supported.. If you need this file, i will provide you.
1) You have to use the BitMap structure, there is no need to change anything in this structure. Just copy this structure in one of the.cpp file like "BitMap.cpp".
char type; /* Magic identifier */
unsigned long size; /* File size in bytes */
unsigned short int reserved1, reserved2;
unsigned long offset; /* Offset to image data, bytes */
extern A HEADER,HEADER1;
unsigned long size; /* Header size in bytes */
unsigned long width,height; /* Width and height of image */
unsigned short int planes; /* Number of colour planes */
unsigned short int bits; /* Bits per pixel */
unsigned long compression; /* Compression type */
unsigned long imagesize; /* Image size in bytes */
unsigned long xresolution,yresolution; /* Pixels per meter */
unsigned long ncolours; /* Number of colours */
unsigned long importantcolours; /* Important colours */
extern B INFOHEADER,INFOHEADER1;
2) In the main file i mean the file which contain the "main" function write this code.
// This Global Function is used for the resolution of the bitmap. You can set the return value either 1,2 or 3. For me 3 is the best combination.
int gd = DETECT, md, a;
initgraph(&gd,&md,"c:\\tc\\bgi"); //Path may be different in your computer.
//Suppose you have one show function which read the bitmap from the disk. Then this show function looks like this.
//Here you have to define the path of the bitmap file. Like according to this example i have to open one Board1.bmp file. So write you bitmap file path here.
unsigned char Ch;
File.read((char*)&HEADER,14); //This is the header part of the Bitmap. It always looks like same. Don't change the content hear. The value remains 14 here.
File.read((char*)&INFOHEADER,40); //This is another part of the bitmap, here also the value remains same like 40 here.
unsigned int i;
if(PaletteData)//if memory allocated successfully
//read color data
//Don't change the code here because i have done some shifting here. Its working fine.
outp(0x03c8,0); //tell DAC that data is coming
for(i=0;i<256*3;i++) //send data to SVGA DAC
for(i=0;i

Novgorod First Chronicle
||This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (September 2011)|
The Novgorod First Chronicle (Russian: Новгородская первая летопись) or The Chronicle of Novgorod, _PHONE_ is the most ancient extant chronicle of the Novgorod Republic. It reflects a tradition different from the Kievan Primary Chronicle. As was first demonstrated by Aleksey Shakhmatov, the later editions of the chronicle reflect the lost Primary Kievan Code (Начальный Киевский свод) of the late 11th century, which contained much valuable data suppressed in the later Primary Chronicle.
The earliest extant copy of the chronicle is the so-called Synod Scroll, dated to the second half of the 13th century, first printed in 1841 and currently preserved in the State Historical Museum. It is the earliest known manuscript of a major East Slavic chronicle, predating the Laurentian Codex of the Primary Chronicle by almost a century. In the 14th century, the Synod Scroll was continued by the monks of the Yuriev Monastery in Novgorod.
Other important copies of the Novgorod First Chronicle include the Academic Scroll (241 lists, 1444), Commission Scroll (320 lists, mid-15th century), Trinity Scroll (1563), and Tolstoy Scroll (208 lists, 1720s).

Which single factor do you think was most important in making the Spanish so successful during the contact period?
1 Answer | Add Yours
I would argue that the most important single factor helping the Spanish was the fact that they brought with them diseases to which the natives of the Americas had no immunity. This was not the only important factor, but I would argue that it was the most important.
The diseases that the Spanish brought over devastated the native populations. Since they could spread from native to native, they could travel from places where the Spanish actually were and kill people who had yet to set eyes on a Spaniard. This was tremendously beneficial to the Spaniards because it destabilized and severely weakened the societies that might have resisted them. For example, diseases that the Spanish brought killed large numbers of Incas, including their emperor. They had then engaged in a struggle over who would be the next emperor. Right after that struggle ended, the Spanish came to conquer the Incas. The fact that so many of them had died of disease and that they had then fought a civil war made it much easier for the Spaniards to win.

DSBN Students to Compete in Hunger Games Challenges
In the post-apocalyptic world depicted in Suzanne Collins' novel "The Hunger Games", the ruling government forces young people to compete against each other in a battle for survival. At the District School Board of Niagara, students taking part in challenges based on "The Hunger Games" will be working cooperatively to complete a number of different tasks and improve their literacy skills. Through the week of November 14-18, students will be engaged in a broad range of different outdoor activities based on the novel at the Woodend Conservation Area.
The event involves students from schools across the DSBN. In the challenges, students will be asked to build shelters from fallen logs, trees and branches, navigate the paths of the conservation area using orienteering skills and participate in interactive, cooperative novelty sports and activities.
Literacy Support Teacher Krista Kiemele says the games "provide students with an engaging opportunity to make connections to the novel and extend their understanding of the events that unfold throughout the plot through active participation."
Each day is scheduled to begin at approximately 10:00 a.m. and will conclude at 2:00 p.m. Woodend Conservation area is located near Niagara College's Glendale Campus on Taylor Road in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Pine trees may help create smog, acid rain
pine tree
Could pine trees be making things worse? Latest research suggests they contribute to smog
Rather than being a global warming solution, pine trees may be inducing smog and acid rain by releasing vast amounts of nitrogen oxide into the air, researchers have discovered.
Under some circumstances, needles from Scots pine trees can release nitrogen oxides directly into the atmosphere, according to a report in today's issue of the journal, Nature.
A team led by Professor Pertti Hari of the University of Helsinki in Finland, conducted experiments with new pine shoots from Pinus sylvestris, measuring the amount of nitrogen oxides they emitted when exposed to sunlight.
Nitrogen oxides (NOx), along with hydrocarbon gases and sunlight, are the three ingredients needed to make photochemical smog that clogs the skies of many urban centres, as well as acid rain.
The researchers were surprised to find NOx produced by the pine needles, and that levels rose when shoots were exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. While the amount produced was insignificant on a local scale, "our findings suggest that global NOx from boreal coniferous forests may be comparable to those produced by worldwide industrial and traffic sources," said the authors.
Other scientists were cautious. "I would like to see a more qualitative estimate of how significant that might be in comparison to all the other sources of nitrogen oxide in the atmosphere," said Associate Professor David Griffith of the atmospheric chemistry research group at Australia's University of Wollongong.
While the gases produced by pine trees could in theory deliver as much air pollution as worldwide industrial emissions, in reality most trees do not grow in air that has the very low background levels of nitrogen oxides needed for the trees to emit NOx in the first place.
"If there are already nitrogen oxides in the air, there will be a net uptake, they will be taken up by the trees," he told ABC Science Online.
The study did show for the first time that forests can produce two of the three critical ingredients for smog, and it had been previously established that trees produce hydrocarbons. "No-one has recognised before that they also produce the nitrogen oxides," said Griffith. "Once you put both those ingredients together you can form photochemical smog."
But the amount of nitrous oxides required for this to happen are in the order of tens of parts per billion, and the research has only found levels of one to three parts per billion, he said.
"What I can't judge is how significant this would be globally," he added. "It's going to be a local effect. Nitrogen oxides don't have a long lifetime in the atmosphere." By comparison, nitrous oxides have a very long lifetime, and can spread all over the world.
Australia does not have a lot of boreal or 'needle tree' - forests, because they tend to exist in high latitude areas. But the findings could be relevant on a local scale in Australian pine plantations, Griffith said.
Large scale planting of pine trees to act as 'carbon sinks' has been promoted by some, the theory being that fast-growing trees absorb and retain carbon dioxide from the air. Carbon dioxide is widely cited one of the major contributors to global warming.
