When considering a replacement to your gas boiler, it is important to know what type of central heating system you have. There are four main types of central heating systems used in homes:
- Combination Gas Boiler System
- Gravity Fed Gas Boiler System
- High Pressure Gas Boiler System
- Air Source Heat Pump System (uses electricity rather than gas)
The gas boiler systems heat central heating radiators in similar ways. The main differences are the water pressure that the gas boiler operates at and the way hot water is provided. Historically, a gravity system was the main type installed in the UK but for new heating installations this has now been completely replaced by either combination boiler systems, high pressure systems or more recently air source heat pump (Read more about Air Source Heat Pumps).
Combination Gas Boiler System
Often referred to as a 'combi boiler' this type of installation heats hot water as you need it, without the need for a hot water storage tank. So in places where space and hot water requirements are limited, such as flats, these can be very popular systems. The system uses mains water pressure, so there are no overflow tanks.
The major downside is the flow of hot water is slower than systems that provide stored hot water – most systems will struggle to cope with houses with two bathrooms. To have a reasonable level of hot water flow the boiler output has to be in a range of 25-30kW rather than 15-20kW for a system with a hot water storage tank. If you are thinking of using solar water heating in the future then another downside is that these systems are not suitable for use with a combi boiler as they need a hot water cylinder. Read more in our solar panels cost article.
See Combination Gas Boilers for a list of current popular combi boilers with typical consumer prices.
Gravity Fed Gas Boiler System
Historically a gravity fed central heating system was the most common system installed in UK housing. They are less common now as combi and high pressure systems are both superior when a complete new system is being installed.
Many older homes have existing gravity fed systems, so it may be more cost effective to upgrade the existing gravity fed system with a new more efficient boiler rather than go to the expense of a complete new system. Some manufacturers call gas boilers for a gravity system "open vent boilers", "heat only boilers", "conventional boilers" or "regular boilers". Most system boilers can also be used with a gravity system. A system boiler has additional built in components such as a pump which makes installation easier than for a heat only boiler.
The major downsides are:
- The water pressure for hot and cold taps can be quite poor, as the flow depends on gravity. In flats, where there is no opportunity to put the water tanks in a loft, shower water pressure can be poor unless a shower pump is used.
- The extra requirement for a cold water storage tank and an expansion tanks. These tanks were often installed in lofts where they become vulnerable to frost damage resulting in water leaks.
- If the heating system is very old then a condensate pipe, new flue and new gas supply pipe may be required at additional cost. Also in houses the upper and lower floors should be treated as different heating zones and will require a better controller. This can be equally true for older combi and high pressure boilers although they have not been around on the market as long.
High Pressure Gas Boiler System
This type of system operates at mains water pressure and uses a stored hot water system. So if it is lashings of hot water at a forceful pressure you are looking for then this is the system for you.
The main downside is that these high performance systems tend to be more expensive than the combi systems as you have the additional expense of a hot water tank. They also tend to require a higher skill level amongst installers, although as these systems become more common this is less of an issue. Some manufacturers call boilers for a high pressure system with a tank "system boilers" although some heat only boilers can also be used if additional external components such as pumps are added.

Australia has one of the most comprehensive collections of population data on healthcare, but until now, analysing it has been quite limited. The data is distributed amongst various sources, and the systems on which these datasets are located are typically unsuitable for complex analysis.
However, the Sax Institute has today launched a project called the Secure Unified Research Environment (SURE) that aims to overcome both limitations by providing a central datacentre where researchers can form connections between data sources and access the necessary computing power to perform big-data analysis. Health researchers will be able to securely access health information provided by hospitals, cancer registries, clinical trials, general practices and research studies.
The project was funded by the Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education, as well as the NSW Government.
While the environment was only officially launched today, it has already been used to analyse Australian habits on visiting the same general practitioner, or "consistency of care", which has been linked to the long-term quality of healthcare.
Previously, data on consistency of care would have been analysed by looking at data from the Medicare Benefits Scheme to determine who does or doesn't use the same practitioner, but this doesn't provide much insight. By combining the Medicare data with the Sax Institute's own "45 & Up" study, as well as data from the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, researchers were able to discover more.
For instance, the analysis was able to confirm the intuitive beliefs that the older Australians get, the more likely they are to have higher consistency of care, and that remote areas of Australia have lower consistency of care. However, it also revealed that wealthier and more highly educated Australians have lower consistency of care — a finding that would not have been possible to determine by looking at a single dataset alone.
Privacy in SURE
Any time large sets of data are linked and mined for information, privacy concerns rise to the forefront. Recognising this, SURE divides personally identifiable information and the content of health records, such as medication information or hospital-admission information.
Organisations called data-linkage units receive encrypted record ID numbers and personal identifying information from sources, but no healthcare records. The linkage units then create their own unique, randomly generated IDs for each person. When a research project requires the data, these randomly generated IDs are used as a basis to create project-specific IDs.
Once the data-linkage units and the data source agree on what information a project is allowed, the data-linkage unit sends the encrypted record ID numbers as well as the new set of project-specific IDs to the source. The data source is then able to decrypt the record ID numbers and match them up to any healthcare records, free of personally identifiable information. The information is then made accessible on SURE's systems for analysis.
The end result is that any researcher logging in can only identify an individual by a SURE-generated ID, unrelated to that person's original record ID. As the ID is specific to the researcher's project, it also means that researchers cannot collude with other researchers working on different projects to gain more personally identifiable information than originally permitted.
Security in SURE
To use SURE, researchers first need to have their project approved by the data owners, and also by a human research ethics committee. After this, researchers' access is limited to secure computers. These are scanned for malware prior to the log-on process, and a security certificate is installed on the permitted computer to limit access.
To log in, the researcher's account has certain minimum-length password requirements and the necessity of a physical hardware token, which must be plugged in to the nominated computer via USB. If any of the three factors — the certificate, USB token or password — are missing, tampered with or incorrect, access to the system is denied.
Although steps are taken to make the researcher's computer more secure than the average PC, analysis of data is still performed remotely. Researchers use their computer as a virtual terminal to tap into SURE's infrastructure, running a highly specified version of 64-bit Windows 7. These virtual workstations have a number of proprietary and open-source analysis tools pre-installed, or installed as needed after being assessed for security. This allows researchers to conduct their analysis using the larger computing power of SURE's facilities.
As analysis may take time to complete, researchers can log off and leave their analysis running in the background, logging in from another secured location at a later date.
The datacentre has a tier-3 ranking, and numerous other physical security features have been implemented, such as the removal of access to printers and removable media within the facility.
Even then, the data flow of all files entering and leaving SURE passes through a privately developed audit tool called the Curation Gateway, providing administrators with the ability to flag any suspicious activity and take immediate action.
Once research has been completed, any remaining data files are encrypted and then archived only for as long as needed. After this time, they are destroyed.

The second talk I will describe here was given by Terence Spies from Voltage Security on "Data Privacy Models in the Payments Industry". Focus here was on how credit and debit card transactions are kept secure. Specifically looking at PANs (or Primary Account Numbers), this is the 16-19 digit number shown on the front of each card. In my cases this number is kept in plaintext by the merchant and so is targeted by malicious parties how can then use these details to make fraudulent transactions. The solution to then secure such numbers is to use Format-Preserving Encryption. Such a scheme maintains the format of the message after encryption, i.e. although encrypted it continues to be a 16-19 digit number.

Rotary kiln belongs to constructing material equipment. and it can be divided into cement kiln. metallurgy chemical kiln and calcium hydroxide kiln harmonizing to different stuffs. Cement kiln is used for doing of cement cinder and there are dry and wet methods to do cement. Metallurgy chemical kiln is used in metallurgy industry and ironworks for thin Fe ore. Cr ore and ferronickel ore calcimine. The application of rotary kiln originated from the cement production.
British cementer J. Asp invented dirt shaft kiln of intermittent operation in 1824 ; A German invented multilayer shaft kiln of uninterrupted operation in1883 ; British E Ransome invented the rotary kiln in 1885 which was put into production after obtaining the patent in England and America and gained considerable economic benefits. The innovation of rotary kiln makes the cement industry develop quickly and promotes the survey on application of rotary kiln. The rotary kiln is used in many industrial Fieldss and takes a more of import function in these productions. The rotary kiln becomes the nucleus equipment in endeavor production.
The proficient feature and service behaviour of rotary kiln are indispensable to the quality. end product and cost of the merchandise. "As long as the large kiln is running. the money is coming. " This lay is a graphic description on the importance of rotary kiln in production. The rotary kiln is most frequently used in cement industry. The whole production engineering of cement is summarized as "two grinding and one burning". "One burning" means the technological procedure of firing the land and prepared natural stuff into cinder by the high temperature of rotary kiln.
So the rotary kiln is the chief engine in cement production. and is normally referred to as "heart" of cement mill. In constructing stuff industry. besides roasting cement cinder. the rotary kiln is besides used for roasting clay. limestone and drying scoria. etc. Rotary kiln is used for calcimine of high aluminium vandal oche in stubborn stuff industry ; for calcimine of calotte and aluminium hydrated oxide in aluminium maker ; for claiming of chrome sand ore and chrome pulverization ore in chemical works. Lime kiln is used for baking active calcium hydroxide and dolomite in the steel mill and ferroalloy mill.

Filmmaker Penelope Jagessar Chaffer was curious about the chemicals she was exposed to while pregnant: Could they affect her unborn child? So she asked scientist Tyrone Hayes to brief her on one he studied closely: atrazine, a herbicide used on corn. (Hayes, an expert on amphibians, is a critic of atrazine, which displays a disturbing effect on frog development.) Onstage together at TEDWomen, Hayes and Chaffer tell their story.
Penelope Jagessar Chaffer is the director and producer of the documentary/surrealist film Toxic Baby. She works to bring to light the issue of environmental chemical pollution and its effect on babies and children.
Tyrone Hayes, professor at the University of California, Berkeley, studies frogs and other amphibians in ponds around the world. He's become an active critic of the farm chemical atrazine, which he's found to interfere with the development of amphibians' endocrine systems. Hayes is the subject of the chidren's book The Frog Scientist, and lectures frequently. His work was recently covered in Mother Jones.

MEDIEVAL EGYPTIAN COUNTED-THREAD EMBROIDERY
INTRODUCTION: Long before blackwork embroidery was being done in Europe,a similar style using double-running stitch was being done in Egypt. During the Mamluk period (_PHONE_), this style and the closely related pattern darning became common as cheap methods of decoration for those who couldn't afford the silk brocades being made at the time.
MATERIALS: The ground fabric was usually linen, although silk could be used. It was normally even-weave, ranging from 28 to 60 threads per inch. Linen and wool thread were sometimes used, but silk floss was the most common. Indigo blue and black were used most frequently, but many other colors were used as well: green, yellow, red, turquoise, dark brown, grey.
METHOD: Both types of embroidery are based on running stitch, the simplest of all. Double-running stitch was called Spanish stitch in 16th-century Europe, and is often called Holbein stitch by modern embroiderers. Each stitch is made over or under the same number of threads, usually two, and then a second row of running stitches fills in the initial row, creating a solid line, which is identical on both sides of the ground fabric. A variant of this is sometimes called box-stitch and, as the name implies, is just a series of squares with one stitch to a side, arranged to form the design. Both these variants are well-adapted for the inscriptions which are an essential element of all Arabic decorative arts.
Designs can be formed just with the double-running stitch, but there are examples where it outlines a shape which is then filled in with either a solid color,with drawnand cutwork, or with pattern darning.
In pattern darning, the stitch length is varied, most commonly going over or under 1, 3, or 5 threads. In the second row, and in each succeeding row, some stitches change in length, and the rest shift. Although the technique is so simple, it produces an incredible variety of geometric patterns.
At least two fragments are large enough to be recognized as tunics/shirts, with embroidery around the neck opening and another two bands going down the front. The hems of skirts and sleeves were probably embroidered, as were the various long strips of cloth used as scarves, sashes and turban wraps. There is one surviving example of embroidered scraps being reused to make a doll's robe. Embroidery may also have been used on household linens.
There are at least five surviving samplers, mostly of pattern darning. These were clearly not decorative wall hangings, but intended as a way of recording the patterns, possibly to allow the customers of professional embroiderers to choose the desired pattern or combination of patterns.

Meet Nexi. How do you feel about Nexi? Would you loan Nexi money? It turns out, scientists can change that perception by making subtle cues to Nexi's robotic face.
A study from researchers at Northeastern University (to be published in the journal Psychological Science) discovered that there are a distinct set of cues–including touching the hands and face, leaning away, and crossing arms-that make a person seem untrustworthy. They figured this out not just by observing human to human interactions, but by looking at how humans interact with a friendly faced robot called Nexi.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF AUSTRALIA'S AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES?
The 2010-11 Value of Agricultural Commodities Produced (VACP) data were collected as part of the 2011 Agricultural Census.
VACP has three major categories:
Data used in calculating VACP come from multiple sources:
- the value of crop production
- the value of livestock disposals (domestic slaughtering and exports of live animals)
- the value of livestock products (including wool, eggs and whole milk)
VACP is released at different geographical levels:
- Buyers of agricultural commodities. There are many sources including VACP surveys of grain merchants, fruit and vegetable processors, cotton ginners, nurseries and sugar mills.
- Other ABS surveys, such as Livestock and Poultry Slaughtering and Wool Receivals.
- Administrative data sources such as exports data, fruit and vegetable market reports and newspapers.
- Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) and industry sources are used, where available, for comparative purposes.
Frequency of VACP data releases:
- Commodity values are initially released at the state and territory level, and also at national level to give a total recorded agricultural production value. National and state/territory data for 2010-11 were released on 29 June 2012. See: Value of Agricultural Commodities Produced, Australia (cat. no. 7503.0)
- On 9 November 2012 a subsequent release followed at the Statistical Area 4 (SA4) and Statistical Area 2 (SA2) levels of the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS), the Statistical Division (SD) and Statistical Local Area (SLA) levels of the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC), and the Natural Resource Management (NRM) level.
Format of VACP data releases:
- Data are collected and released annually. VACP preliminary data are generally published within six months of the reference period, at the same time as the preliminary agricultural production data in Principal Agricultural Commodities, Australia (cat. no. 7111.0). Final data follow approximately seven months after preliminary data have been released.
Where to go for VACP data:
- The final estimates publication includes a pdf version of the tables as well as a summary of the various commodities. The tables show the gross and local values of selected commodities on a state by state basis as well as marketing costs. The state and small area level data are released in data cube (spreadsheet) format.

placing a color marker on it, and receiving one gold piece (but no new units) as long as they hold on to it. The victorious player may also now use/upgrade the defeated player's leftover defensive structures and build/upgrade new ones on and around the enemy capital to help them hold on to it.
The player who lost their capital loses one gold piece but can now reclaim their capital, remove the enemy color marker, and regain their gold piece. In addition, they may continue to claim lands, get new units, and use their gold pieces to upgrade their units and use powers. However they may not build/upgrade defensive structures until they reclaim their capital. This should allow players who lose their capital in a multi-player game a better chance of staying in until the end.
A player wins a multi-player game by completing a fortified city (including on a captured enemy capital), defeating all enemy units, or by holding on to all enemy capitals while retaining their own capital.
Team Play
When playing team games (2v2, 3v3, etc.) the following rules take effect:
– Allied players' units may occupy the same square and move through each others' units and defensive structures
– Allied players gain each others' defensive structure bonuses
– When a square occupied by both allied players' units is attacked, either players' units may defend the square
Example Turn
Talaq begins a turn with 5 gold pieces.
For the first action two units move onto an enemy outpost, which is already claimed with the opponent's color marker. The opponent's color marker is replaced with a black marker, and the opponent returns a gold piece to the bank.
For the second action one unit moves into one of Talaq's unclaimed outposts. The player places a color marker and new infantry unit on the square, and takes one gold piece from the bank.
For the final action, the player upgrades one tower to a castle, using all six gold pieces.
Talaq will begin the next turn with six gold pieces.

Detail introduce about cheap RFID reader
cheap RFID reader
What is the difference between a fixed and mobile RFID readers?
Fixed readers are set up to create and sometimes control access to secured safe zones, parking lots, certain doors, secured room, and track movement of tagged object across certain zones. Mobile readers are portable, which may be hand-held or mounted within a truck. They are commonly used by personnel to identify tagged objects or commit inventory counts of merchandise.
What is RFID reader collision?
Reader collision is the situation where the signal from one reader interferes with the signal from another one so that their coverage overlap. Using time division multiple accesses can overcome this problem by setting the readers to read at different time frames without interfering with each other. However, it is important that the software connected to the reader can recognize when the same RFID tag was read more than once in the overlapping area and adjust the system accordingly.
How do cheap RFID readers connect to other parts of the RFID system?
Cheap RFID readers have different methods of being connected to the computer host or network including via Bluetooth, USB, serial, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet.

Development Of A Location-factor-matrix For Sustainable Business Locations
Free (open access)
407 - 415
M. Pajones, T. Steiner, N. Hackner-Jaklin
Modern company strategies show that the issue of sustainability, for example in terms of corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports, became a significant aspect. However, related to the process of location planning, companies do not take sustainability into consideration. In consolidation of strategies in business economics, key objectives in spatial development and traffic planning, a sustainable business location should be generated. As no definition of the term "sustainable business area" exists so far, an inevitable step for further development is to create one, which is presented in this paper. Another aim is to identify essential location factors, which have an impact on the economic-, ecologicaland social sustainability of business locations. A qualitative analysis of interdependencies demonstrates the substantial connections between these factors. In the course of an organized workshop, experts in freight logistics, spatial planning, traffic planning and sustainability discussed the essential location factors and their impact on sustainability. The output was a so called location-factor-matrix for business locations. In a next step, the interdependencies among the defined location factors and their roles in the system have been indicated with the help of the impact matrix by Vester. Another substantial step further along the line will be the development of sustainability criteria or indices, which allow a classification of the business location. These findings will be an essential input for a location-factors-based evaluation and planning system.

- Gardner-Diamond syndrome
A syndrome of uncertain origin seen almost entirely in women, characterized by spontaneous, chronic recurring painful ecchymoses on the body. Clinical features are tingling, itching, pain and tenderness in the extremities, and painful nodules, which are red at first and later, haemorrhage. The patients bruise easily. Writers disagree as to whether this disturbance is an autoimmune disorder. According to some, it is caused by autosensitivity to a component of the erythrocyte membrane, others consider it to be of psychosomatic or factitious origin, as these patients frequently present particular psychological manifestations - hence the name of psychological purpura.

The history of the Obertauern skiing region
Skiing on historic grounds in the Salzburg region of Austria
The history of Obertauern starts long before the first skiers discovered the dreamy slopes in the region. About 2400 years ago Celtics settled at the border between the Pongau and the Lungau district. With the arrival of the Romans, the Roman State roadwas created, which lead via the Tauern pass and connected Italy with Juvavum, today's Salzburg region. From approximately 100 B.C the Romans used the road via the pass for frequent merchant's traffic.
After the breakdown of the Roman Empire at around 500 AD, mainly Bavarian tribes settled in the region of Obertauern. Until the early middle ages Bavarian Lords reigned over the Tauern Mountains, the region of Salzburg only became independent in the 13th century. The first documented mention of the Radstadt Tauern mountains is dated in the year 1207. A document from the year 1224 confirms the existence of the little church by the Tauernscharte. In the year 1517 two taverns are first mentioned at the Tauern. The first written proof of tourism in Obertauern mentions the "twee hosts at the Tauern Mountain". Those are still known to this day as the taverns Gasthof Schaidberg and Gasthof Wisenegg.
During the high time of baroque in Salzburg, the region Obertauern also experienced a boom: 1764 was the year the very first post office in Untertauern was opened, which was responsible for the letter exchange across the Alps for years to come.
The first tourists in Obertauern were – how could it be different – skiing folk. Although it was mentioned for the first time in 1902, tourism only came to flourish after the end of World War 1. In the 1920s the skiing tourists still embarked on the strenuous ascent on foot to Obertauern, and enjoyed the following descent on skies even more. Interestingly the first tourism in Obertauern was not connected to the winter season, as most tourists poured into Obertauern during the summer months. Between 1925 and 1927 the first Tauern races for cars and motor cycles took place.
The birthday of winter tourism for Obertauern is on the 8th December 1929. On this day the first regular winter schedule started via the Tauern pass. World War 2 marked a cornerstone for the development of winter sports in Obertauern. From 1948 until into the 1960s ski and piste fun still meant hard work: the pistes were trampled hard by skiers, who received 3 free rides per hour for their efforts. By 1950 the first tow lifts were installed, as well as the first avalanche protection buildings. Between 1952 and 1961 the first set of modern cable cars and tow lift facilities were erected.
In 1962 the transformation was complete: Obertauern was the official name of the township and was entered into the history books. In the following year the first motorized snow cat in Austria started running in Austria's Obertauern.
The skiing primary school of Obertauern was getting famous, after including next to 7 main subjects the subject of skiing into the school's regular schedule.
Fame of a different kind honoured Obertauern in the year 1965: The Beatles produced parts of their legendary movie "HELP" in front of the dreamlike backdrop of Obertauern. Two years after this, the modern snow cats change the way pistes are groomed and built and to make wider ski runs possible with extensive territory changes. From then on more tourists were able to enjoy the winter fun in Obertauern. Through the connection of all lift facilities in 1969 the first form of the nowadays Tauern Loop Trail was created. Not much later than that Obertauern came to fame as a modern and popular winter sports destination, with its reputation reaching far beyond the borders of Austria.
In 1985 the first snowmaking machines in Obertauern were introduced. From now on skiing tourists had guaranteed snow during the whole of the winter season. Between 1991 and 1998 the building of a floodlight station made an international furor and resulted in well filled pistes – until late in the night.
Obertauern became a stronghold of alpine ski sports: with 100 kilometres of extremely well cared for pistes, 26 modern lift facilities, artificial snowmaking facilities and a touch and go ski pass system. On top of that bridges over the Katschberg A road make sure that you experience uninterrupted skiing fun in Austria. Equipped with the latest infrastructure, the region of Obertauern in Austria presents itself as a world famous skiing region and one of the best ski areas in Austria, not to mention one of the most popular.

Zen For Beginners by Zoran Josipovic
For Beginners; Reprint edition | August 21, 2007 | English | ISBN: _PHONE_, _PHONE_ | 176 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Zen, from its foundation in China of the 6th Century A.D., has always been more than a religion. It is an intriguing system of principles and practices designed to give each individual the experience of eternity in a split second, the knowledge of divinity in every living thing.
To create a book about Zen, however, is risky. It is one thing to describe the factual history of this exotic strain of Buddhism. It's quite another thing to successfully convey the crazy wisdom of the Zen masters, their zany sense of humor, and their uncanny ability to pass on the experience of enlightenment to their students.
The authors of Zen For Beginners have clearly overcome these considerable risks. The book uses an engaging mix of clear, informative writing and delightful illustrations to document the story of Zen from its impact on Chinese and Japanese culture to its influence on American writers such as Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and Gary Snyder. The paradoxical teaching stories and style of the Zen master are also shown as important keys to understanding Oriental art, literature, architecture, and attitudes towards life and death.

Question: What is the purpose of thread in sewing?
What type of thread is used for sewing?
Cotton thread is the perfect accompaniment to 100% cotton fabric and is therefore most commonly used in patchwork and quilting. Some sewing purists believe that you should use the same thread as the fabric yarn content, so cotton thread should be used to sew cotton fabric.
What is sewing thread in textile?
Sewing thread is a trim which ensures the functional properties of a garment or any clothing product by securing the seams. It is a special type of yarn which is used for sewing but not for knitting or weaving. It can be made of staple fibre or continuous filaments by twisting hardly or slightly.

Lesson 7: (Social Skills) Socialization with Other Animals
The statement I made before about friends being more important than acquaintances applies to other dogs, too! There are certain things that are just better explained in dog language. Practicing saying 'hi' 500 times is good, but they also need to have full conversations, too.

One of the prime sensors for global localisation on land is GPS. This is not an option underwater because electromagnetic waves get absorbed quickly.
There are however alternatives, which provide navigation information which is not so easily available on land.
- Large Baseline (LBL) - is a method based on sonar, which works very similar to GPS, just using acoustics instead. For this you need transponders that ping at known intervals. The robot can than calculate its position based on the run length intervals. Because the timings are much easier than with GPS, coming up with your own solution might be feasible.
- Ultra Short Baseline (USBL) - works the same as the LBL, just that the transponders are very close to each other (usually one device). In this way you get an angle and range measurement. Less accurate, but more compact.
- Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) - uses the doppler effect in multiple directions to give you the velocity against ground.
- Pressure Sensor - you can directly get a measurement of your depth in the water column with this.
- AHRS - based on IMU and Compass, you can get a good estimate of your orientation.
The bad news is that the sonar based methods are way off in terms of your budget. However, if you are interested in this, it might be feasible to construct a localisation method based on DIY hydrophones. Should definitely be a fun experience.
Your alternatives, especially feasible in a pool, is to go optical. You can for example use an external camera to track your robot, or use markers (e.g. Aruco) to get a relation to a known position.


Export Import Scenarios
You are here: Administrators Reference > Exporting and Importing Objects > Export/Import Scenarios
Export/Import Scenarios
In a typical Development server - Authoring server environment you:
 1. Create and test an object on a Development Server.
 2. Export the object.
 3. Import the object to the Authoring Server.
Later, if you change the original object and want to push changes to the site(s) using your object, you would:
 1. Re-export the object from the Development Server
 2. Re-import the object into the sites on your Authoring Server where the object was originally imported.
You might also want to use an object developed by a third-party. In that case, you would:
 1. Download the export packet from the third-party.
 2. Import the object into the desired site(s) on your Development Server.
 3. Test the object.
 4. Import the object into the desired site(s) on your Authoring Server.
Before importing or exporting, please note the following:
ADF (Application Development Framework) Considerations: When importing a Custom Element that includes custom field types or render handlers housed within the ADF, CommonSpot checks to see if the ADF is installed and stops the import if it does not find it. If you are using the CommonSpot Application Development Framework, check that both your web server mapping and the ADF directory are named ADF (all caps).
Path Considerations: Although you can specify any logical path for render handler modules, and export them or Custom Elements containing them to any logical server path, CommonSpot expects import modules to contain site-relative path locations and cannnot properly handle import packets unless the file references they contain are site-relative.

Variably weathered outcrop samples of the Meade Peak Phosphatic Shale Member of the Phosphoria Formation have 5-10% of the contained uranium (U) in a form readily extractable by 0.1 M sodium bicarbonate. Fission track radiography of outcrop samples and other less-weathered channel and core samples indicate that this mobile fraction of U is likely hosted by organic matter, secondary iron oxides and clay minerals, trace uraninite, and very fine-grained apatite cement. During weathering, this extractable U fraction is especially susceptible to redistribution, which produces small but measurable departures (1-15%) from radioactive (secular) equilibrium in the 238U decay-series. The most weathered samples show the strongest isotopic evidence for redistribution of U during the last 350 ka, but sequestration of U by alteration products limits open-system losses of U at the whole-rock scale. In less-weathered samples, isotopic evidence for minor U loss (or gain) over longer time periods (1 Ma) is consistent with relatively non-aggressive attack of phosphatic rock during weathering. Comparative extractability of selenium (Se) suggests that a larger fraction of Se (19%) is readily available for mobilization during the earliest stages of weathering.

To type tone numbers for the romanizations, use the number keys 1–5 on the keyboard. Note that v = ü, and Hanin does not adhere to the standard practice of dropping the diaeresis from ü in all cases except nü, nüe, lü, lüe. Jü, jüe, and qü, qüe are retained as well.
Typing without tone numbers does not work (only the first-tone choices are listed). Use the "Pronunciation" search mode (see below) for lists of the other three tones.
Try typing an expression. In the example below, I am typing fei1ji1 (airplane). Notice how the fei1 character is initially inappropriate, but the correct character is automatically selected as soon as the tone for ji1 is typed:
Demo 1
If Hanin makes a transformation that is undesired, you can press escape [esc] to undo the transformation:
Demo 2
Automatic character selection only works for words and phrases that are entered in a single input session. Once you press [return], the characters are sent to the application, and Hanin is no longer aware of them.
You can also select characters manually by pressing space after typing in a character. This will bring up the Character Selection window:
Character Selection Window
Demo 3
This window is powerful, but easy to learn to use. It has two elements, the Button Bar across the top of the window and the Character List below it.
Using the Button Bar
The two magnifying glass buttons represent two search modes, each of which works differently in concert with the the up/down arrow buttons:
 - The left-side magnifying glass on the left is the default search mode. The up/down arrow buttons allow you to navigate to the previous/next page of the character list, and the numbers to the right of the up/down arrow buttons indicate the current page number in the character list table and the total number of pages. In the above example, we are on page 1 of 1. If you resize the window, the total number of pages can change, within limits. The maximum size is 5 rows and 10 columns per page, the minimum is 1 row and 6 columns per page. In the above example, the window is sized to display 1 row and 7 columns.
 - The right-side magnifying glass (with a little blue "p") is for single-character searches based on pronunciation. In this mode, the up/down arrow buttons allow you to navigate from one pronunciation to the next. The alternatives are determined by tone and Zhuyin spelling order even when you are working in Pinyin.
For example, when you type in ji or ji1 in the default search mode, the character list for first-tone ji appears. Not finding the character you want, click on the right-side magnifying glass, and eight pages of alternative Pinyin pronunciations are made available (ü=v): jü1, qi1, qü1, ji2 (two pages), ji3, ji4 (two pages). Thus you are presented with same-tone pronunciations phonetically similar to ji1 (jü1, qi1, qü1), and then phonetic matches with different tones (ji2, ji3, ji4). The current page's pronunciation is displayed to the right of the magnifying glass buttons, as seen in the example below:
Navigating the Character List
Character list
 - Press the escape key [esc] to leave the selector and leave the character unchanged.
 - Press [return] to select the character that is currently highlighted.
 - Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move through the list and find the character you want. Press [return] to input it.
 - If you see the character you want, type the letter for its row (if necessary) and the number for its column. This automatically inputs the character.
 - Use the mouse to select the character you want. Press [return] or double-click to input it.

Heaven and Hope
The Wilderness Society 2010-2011, "Heaven and Hope" written by Jeff Rennicke
The lands that belong to all Americans have long provided wilderness, recreation, and heavenly scenery. Now, scientists say, protecting them just might hold our best hope of saving the planet.
"As confusing as these numbers seem, one number is increasingly clear, says Harvey Locke of The WILD Foundation: 50 percent. For decades, according to Locke, conservationists pushed for protection of 10 to 12 percent of the Earth as a "politically acceptable" goal. "When those other targets were set they were bold and visionary," he says, "but the world has changed and those…targets no longer conform to what we've come to understand scientifically nor to the current very serious conditions that exist around the world for nature."
His ambitious goal is the target of a new program called "Nature Needs Half," which seeks the designation of at least 50 percent of the world's terrestrial surface to a level defined by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. That would require the protection of some tribal, corporate, and private lands, yet its success will depend mostly on the protection of our cherished public lands.

SMOS forms three-pointed star in the sky
Following the launch of ESA's SMOS satellite on 2 November, the French space agency CNES, which is responsible for operating the satellite, has confirmed that the instrument's three antenna arms have deployed as planned, and that the instrument is in good health.
During launch and the first few orbits around Earth, the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) instrument's antenna arms remained safely folded up. Today, these three arms folded-out and now form a large three-pointed star shape. With its unusual shape, measuring eight metres across, SMOS can be dubbed a 'star in the sky'.
The SMOS instrument is called MIRAS – short for Microwave Imaging Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis – and is actually bigger than the satellite platform. It consists of a central hub and the three arms that have just deployed. This deployment is crucial to the success of the mission as they carry the key measuring devices: most of the 69 small antenna receivers called LICEFs.
To acquire data on soil moisture and ocean salinity, each of the LICEF antenna-receivers measures radiation emitted from Earth's surface within the 'L-band', around a frequency of 1.4 GHz. This frequency provides the best sensitivity to variations in moisture in the soil and changes in the salinity of the surface waters of the oceans. In addition, this frequency is not affected too much by the weather, atmosphere and vegetation cover.
To achieve the spacial resolution required by the data users, the MIRAS instrument employs a novel use of technology. Under normal circumstances, measuring these two environmental variables using L-band would only work with a huge antenna – which would be too big to be carried by a satellite. To overcome this challenge, the SMOS mission has borrowed techniques used in radio astronomy.
Radio astronomers, searching for celestial objects that are not detectable in optical astronomy, also faced the challenge of needing to detect small signals from point sources in space at a long wavelength, requiring a big antenna. Since signals are detected as waves, signals from different telescopes can be added to synthesise the pinpointing of a much larger telescope. To achieve this, radio astronomers combined 27 radio telescopes, each 25 m in diameter, and deployed them on a Y-shaped track that can be extended up to 35 km. This is known as the Very Large Array in New Mexico, US.
Like the Very Large Array, the SMOS instrument also forms a Y-shape and through a process of interferometry the 69 small antenna receivers mimic a much larger antenna.
The deployment of the SMOS arms marks another significant milestone for ESA's water mission. The satellite will now undergo a series of health checks within its six-month commissioning phase. So far, however, all the signs are good that this second of ESA's Earth Explorer satellites in orbit is fit and healthy following launch and will be able to deliver the data to advance our understanding of Earth's water cycle.


There are five common areas that will need attention and approaches for you to address them to ensure you have a solid plan in place this year.
 1. Establish health care directives to avoice being unprepared: This allows you to decide what kind of care you want and helps avoid any type of unnecessary suffering when you have the appropriate response plans and documentation in place.
 2. Create a will: This is one of the most important documents to protect yourself and your family but one of the most frequently postposed documents to put in writing. Your will protects you and ensures that your future wishes for your estate are carried out. If you don't have a will, you won't have an input about how your property is distributed after death. Wills are editable, just get it started.
 3. Ensure your will and beneficiaries are updated with each life change. Be sure to update your will with any life changing event. For example, change your beneficiary to your spouse when you get married instead of your brother, sister, or parent. Proceeds from life insurance, 401(k) plans, and IRAs are being left to the wrong beneficiaries because the owners neglected to update them. Life events: Marriage, divorce, birth, death, and other major life events. (Note: Beneficiary designations on IRAs and retirement plans supersede what's stated in a will or trust, so it's crucial to ensure they're up-to-date.)
 4. Regularly review legal/liability documents. Your wishes, preferences, and outlooks on life can change, review your documents at least once a year to ensure you're prepared for the future.
 5. Have an estate plan. It's important to have a comprehensive plan in place for how your money and other assets should be distributed when needed. Regularly review your plan and ensure you have the fundamentals in place.

Most wood splinters and small objects like a sliver of glass can be removed at home with tweezers and a needle. Sterilize both implements with some alcohol or the flame of a match and then cool them. Wash your hands and the affected area with soap and water. Reassure your child as best you can — if possible, sit him on your lap while you work on the splinter, or have another adult hold and comfort him while you remove it.
If the splinter's sticking out from the skin far enough, you may be able to pull it out easily using just the tweezers. Grasp it gently at the base (where it emerges from the skin) with the tweezers and pull it straight out, tugging in the same direction it's pointed. If it doesn't slide right out, don't pick at it — you don't want to break a piece off and leave the rest embedded.
If a very small splinter is protruding, on the other hand, you may be able to remove it by pressing a piece of strong sticky tape to the site and then lifting up.
If neither of those methods works, or for a splinter that's embedded in the skin with little or no piece sticking out for you to grab, you'll need to use the sterilized needle. First, soak the area in warm water for a few minutes to soften the skin. Then use the needle to gently create a slit in the skin right over the embedded part and carefully remove the splinter with tweezers.
When the splinter's out, wash the whole area thoroughly with soap and warm water. Then cover the spot with a thin film of antibiotic ointment and an adhesive bandage.
If it's a big splinter — a piece of wood, glass, or other debris embedded in your child's skin — or an object that's curved, you'll need to have a doctor remove it. But if it's a very small one, you can try letting it go for a few days. There's a good chance the splinter will work itself out, especially if your child soaks in the tub, since the warm water will loosen the skin around it.
Infections from splinters are uncommon, but do watch for signs while you're waiting — warmth, redness, swelling, pus — and take your child to the doctor if you see any.
Not usually, though they can be. If your child's vaccinations aren't up to date, a splinter can cause tetanus, a potentially fatal infection caused by bacteria that enters the blood through a wound.
The vaccine that protects your child against this bacteria is usually given at 2, 4, and 6 months, again between 15 and 18 months, again between 4 and 6 years, and again between ages 11 and 13. After that, a booster is recommended every ten years throughout life. Call your child's doctor if you're not sure your child has had all his shots.
Try to keep your child from running around without shoes outdoors (and indoors, if you have wood floors). If you break a glass, make sure you vacuum up all the tiny fragments that sometimes scatter. Inspect playground equipment for frayed materials that might splinter off and ask that it be repaired.

From Old School RuneScape Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
The Fremennik are a group of Norsemen who live in the Fremennik Province, in northern Gielinor. All humans across Gielinor originated from the Fremennik.
They are in a war with the magical Moon Clan of Lunar Isle, because of a difference of opinion when it comes to Runecraft. The Fremennik do not approve of the crafting of Rune stones, and think that humans should only use the runes they were given by the gods. The hatred between the two clans is lessened during the Lunar Diplomacy quest.
Players become an honorary Fremennik after having completed The Fremennik Trials quest. Then upon completion of the trials, the player is given a Fremennik name (however, if the player is wearing a ring of charos (a) they may change their name at random by speaking to Brundt the Chieftain). Players may speak with the villagers and find out a lot more about them. The purchase and wearing of Fremennik armour is also made available after the trials.
The Mountain Tribe, were originally part of the Fremennik too (much like the Moon Clan) until a dispute over their more traditional nomadic way of life tore them apart.
The Fremennik have their own language, which can be discovered when examining the safety guarantee used in the quest Mountain Daughter. This document examines as: "The strange characters supposedly grant Svidi (a representative of the Mountain Tribe) safe passage into Rellekka." The strange characters must be the writing of the Fremennik.
History[edit | edit source]
The Fremennik are direct descendants of the humans Guthix brought with him from the original human realm when he was populating Gielinor in the First Age. They were once a nomadic tribe. They lived a simple life, hunting the local animals, fishing, and travelling throughout the Fremennik Province so as not to exhaust the land's rich resources.
Eventually, they abandoned their nomadic way of life, creating the village of Rellekka in the Fourth Age. While this greatly improved life for most Fremennik, some disagreed with this way of living. Many left the tribe, grouping together to form the Mountain Tribe, to continue the traditional nomadic lifestyle. This angered the Fremennik, and the two tribes have been somewhat bitter towards each other ever since, until the player eases these tensions slightly during the Mountain Daughter quest.
Some years ago, the Fremennik discovered a rock that was revealed to be rune essence. This caused a great struggle within the tribe; some believed the Fremennik ought to harness the magics of the essence to defend themselves from the races that were constantly seeking to conquer their land. Others believed that the rock was not to be used by mortals, and that the gods would destroy them if they used it. The tension grew until many more Fremennik departed for Lunar Isle, where they would form the Moon Clan.
Taking advantage of the Fremennik's temporary weakness in numbers and absence of awareness, the Mountain Tribe attacked the village of Rellekka and stole the rune essence rock which they believed to be sacred, taking it back to their encampment. The two tribes avoided contact from that point on, until the events of the Mountain Daughter quest.
Known members[edit | edit source]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
 - Most (but not all) of the Fremennik have traditional names with roots in old Norse.

This gigantic antenna system called Duga-3 is located near Prypiat in the Chernobyl area.
It was built in the 70's as an early missile detection system (over-the-horizon radar system). It was also called the Steel Yard hence its distinctive appearance. The antenna was deactivated in 1989.
The Russian Woodpecker was a notorious Soviet signal that could be heard on the shortwave radio bands worldwide between July 1976 and December 1989. It sounded like a sharp, repetitive tapping noise, at 10 Hz, giving rise to the "Woodpecker" name. The random frequency disrupted legitimate broadcast, amateur radio, and utility transmissions and resulted in thousands of complaints by many countries worldwide.
Starting in 1976 a new and powerful radio signal was detected worldwide, and quickly dubbed the Woodpecker by amateur radio operators. Transmission power on some woodpecker transmitters was estimated to be as high as 10 MW EIRP. As well as disrupting shortwave amateur radio and broadcasting it could sometimes be heard over telephone circuits due to the strength of the signals. This led to a thriving industry of "Woodpecker filters" and noise blankers.

This Knowledge Base article describes how to change when Actions are executed using execution blocks in the Rule Designer.
When Actions are added to a Rule, they are added at the bottom of the Rule statement or definition. Actions can be moved up or down to execute in a different order. You can also change how the Actions are grouped together into execution blocks. Execution blocks can either be sequentially, concurrently, or in a batch. The use of these blocks can affect how the Rule executes and are best used based on the Form's scenario.
At the front of each Action statement, there is a word that can be changed. This word (then, and, or also) affects how the Action is called:
- Then, means one after another, and executes sequentially:
- The first Action executes, waits for it to complete, and then executes the next one.
- Execution is performed in a synchronous manner.
- And, means concurrently:
- All the Actions start at the same time, wait for all the Actions in the block to finish before going onto the next block. A good example is when using the Load/Initialize Rule Event, all the Get Lists for Views or Drop Down Lists can be populated together instead of waiting on one to finish before continuing to the next.
- Execution is performed in an asynchronous manner.
- Also, means in a batch:
- All the Actions are grouped in a single execution packet, and the runtime executes the packet in a batch on the server.
- Typically used for master or detail list of items, or single save scenarios.
- It is not a true transaction as there is no rollback.
- The K2 Service Object layer supports transactions, but SmartBox, which K2 smartforms is using, does not support transactions. If there is transactional support on the method call on the Service Object, then it is supported by K2 smartforms.
The execution of the Actions in the execution block is affected by the order of those Actions. Therefore, it is important to look closely at the execution blocks as well as the order of the Actions within the block to ensure that the Rule behavior is correct.
Take a scenario where you have a Rule and you want some Actions to execute one after another. When those are complete, you have another set of Actions that you would like to execute concurrently (both for performance reasons and because they aren't dependent on each other).
When adding Actions, each statement is automatically added in one execution block as shown below:
To split the group, select another statement located in front of the Action.
A new line is added, which describes the execution block:
Actions can be ordered into these execution blocks. Simply change the statement to allocate it to a specific execution block.
As another example, let's look at a subform. Let's say we have a Rule for a subform list double click Rule, configured with the following Actions: 1) Transfer Data, and 2) Close the subform. The order of these Actions is very important.
When the subform is double clicked, it should populate a lookup control on the parent View. In this case, it would not be logical to first close the subform and then transfer the data to the lookup control. If the subform is closed first, the View would not have access to the data and would not be able to transfer the data to the lookup control. It would also not make sense to have these Actions happen concurrently, as the close Action could complete first before the data transfer Action, and again, the data would not be available for transfer. It is more logical to first transfer the data to the lookup control, and then close the subform.
It is therefore important to note the order of the Actions in the execution blocks and understand the differences between the execution types to select the correct execution type for the specific execution block.

March 24, 2011 -- Itching, like yawning, may be contagious, causing people to feel an urge to scratch after they see another person scratching. That's according to a new study published in the British Journal of Dermatology.
Scientists at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center were researching what they call "contagious itch" that is visually transmitted.
"It is conceivable that the neuronal networks or mechanisms underlying contagious itching may be similar to the ones involved in contagious yawning, a phenomenon that is still intensely studied, but not exactly clear," one of the study researchers, dermatologist Gil Yosipovitch, MD, of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, says in a news release.
The research team enlisted 14 healthy people, and 11 others who had atopic dermatitis, an inflammatory skin disorder that typically causes skin rashes and itching.
The study participants received either histamine, a substance that can cause itching, or saline, a substance that does not cause itching, applied to their forearms. Histamine, when applied to a study participant with atopic dermatitis, was put on an area of skin that did not have a rash. All participants were monitored while they watched short video clips of people either scratching, or in a relaxed state, so that their behavior could be analyzed.
Those with atopic dermatitis had a higher itch intensity and scratched more often while watching the videos of other people scratching.
People with the skin condition "reported the intensity of itch sensation significantly increasing" as they watched the videos of people scratching, the researchers write. This was true for nine of the people with the skin disorder, but the other two apparently weren't as bothered.
"The analysis of scratching behavior of [atopic dermatitis] patients and healthy subjects revealed that atopics watching the itch video doubled the overall duration of scratching episodes," the researchers write. These people also scratched in more places and for a longer duration than healthy participants watching the itch videos.
The results of the experiments show "that the power of the brain is pretty extreme," Alexandru Papoiu, MD, PhD, also of Wake Forest Baptist, says in the news release. "This speaks to a core of our being, to being particularly vulnerable to suggestions of itch, which can easily trigger a response from our central nervous system."
By understanding what's going on in the brain, "we may be able to develop future therapies that can target these areas and relieve the itch impulse," Yosipovitch says.
The scientists stress that the study is early and observational in nature, and plan next to conduct magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to study brain mechanisms while inducing itching.
The goal, they say, is to develop techniques such as relaxation and meditation, in addition to medications that could target specific brain regions to reduce the severity of urges to itch.

Isaiah 49:12 in the KJV:
Isaiah 49:12, Chinese Union Version:
The KJV transliterates
"סינים (sinim)" as "Sinim". The Chinese Union Version translates "סינים (sinim)" as "秦國 (Qin Country)" (with an in-text note of the Hebrew transliteration). "Qin Country" is the country of the Qin dynasty - China. Since the establishment of the Qin ("Chin" or "Sin") dynasty in 221 BC, the large Far East nation has been called "China" or "Sina." Some translations (NIV, ESV) refuse the reading, "סינים (sinim)" as found in the Masoretic text. These modern scholars assume that Isaiah could not have referred to China because "Sinim" came to mean "China" only after 221 BC, hundreds of years after the life of Isaiah. During Isaiah's life (8th century BC), the Qin state was just a small state among hundreds of other states in the region. However, if Isaiah was able to prophetically call the future king Cyrus by his name (Isaiah 44:28, 45:1), it would not have been unusual for Isaiah to have referred to the name of a future nation. These critics who substitute "Syrene" or "Aswan" for "Sinim" completely destroy Isaiah's prophecy concerning the establishment of China.
More important than the prophecy of the establishment of a future nation is the prophecy that people of these distant lands will come to know the true God. Isaiah 49:12 encouraged the early missionaries such as Hudson Taylor. This verse in their Chinese Union Version continues to encourage millions of Chinese believers today. Liberal scholars who deny the Masoretic reading deprive this wonderful promise of God to Chinese believers. These critics substitute "Sinim" with "Syrene" based on the reading in the Dead Sea Scrolls. However, this reading could simply reflect the Dead Sea Scroll scribes' attempt at identifying the exact location of this mysterious place based on their knowledge of local geography, just like how the Septuagint scribes substituted "Sinim" with "Land of Persia" (γῆς Περσῶν).
Moreover, the context of Isaiah's prophecy
indicates that "Sinim" refers to a "far" county to the "east". The verse mentions north and west, which means the location of Sinim might indicate either south or east. Although Syrene or Aswan is to the south, this is not "far" from Israel. The verse says that people will come from "far," which would preclude such a close community in Egypt. The scope of Isaiah's prophecy is global and pan-directional; thus, it would only make sense if "Sinim" is a far region to the east. The Septuagint and the Vulgate also point to an eastern country. The NKJV and NASB also have "Sinim."

Abstract Recently, we described a novel fibroblast-restricted monoclonal antibody (mAb AS02) that recognizes a membrane-bound antigen. Characterization and isolation of the corresponding antigen showed that mAb AS02 recognized a protein on human fibroblasts that is highly homologous or identical to human Thy-1 antigen (CD90). Partial amino acid sequencing of the corresponding mAb AS02 antigen and comparison with known proteins revealed a 100% homology of the sequenced peptides to the human Thy-1 antigen. Cross-immunodepletion studies with mAb AS02 and an anti-Thy-1 antibody confirmed these results. Utilizing two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis of fibroblast cell extracts and purified antigen, mAb AS02 and the anti-Thy-1-antibody recognized identical protein spots. Furthermore, we demonstrated many identical biochemical properties of the corresponding AS02 antigen and Thy-1 antigen, such as the molecular weight of the core protein and deglycosylation products and the detection of a GPI anchor. In functional assays, the attachment of fibroblasts to collagen I and fibronectin was increased after incubation of fibroblasts with mAb AS02. Therefore, the Thy-1 antigen appears to be involved in the regulation of the adherence of human dermal fibroblasts.

RGB Experimental Music Laboratory 35
RGB MusicLab converts RGB (Red, Green and Blue) value of an image and surface points (X, Y, Z) of 3D object to chromatic scale sounds.
The program reads RGB value of pixels from the top left to the bottom right of an image. One pixel makes a harmony of three note of RGB value, and the length of note is determined by brightness of the pixel. RGB value 120 or 121 is the middle C, and RGB value 122 or 123 is added a half steps of the scale that is C#. Pure black that is R=0, G=0, B=0 is no sounds. It is not an impression of a painting or a photograph of a musical variation. It is not an arbitrary process. It composes a score from an image directly. It is simple and clear algorithm, and does not have any hidden or mysterious tricks. Anybody can get a same result if he/she takes same processes. The result of music is one of art forms, also I am developing this program for Art Work itself. You cannot force your idea to RGB Music. You can just make a path, draw a music out, and accept it to your music. You may use the music which is made by RGB MusicLab for anything you like, such as for your video, your blog, your performance and your everyday life.


Electrical components
Two-terminal electronic components
An electrical component can only work if it is traversed by an electric current.
It must therefore receive the electric current and then let it out.
Definition of a terminal: It is an area of an electrical component that can receive the electric current or let it out.
Comment: a terminal is also used to make connections, which means connecting an electrical component to another electrical component.
Some complex electrical components can have multiple input terminals and multiple output terminals (such as transistors or operational amplifiers).
For now we consider only simple electrical components having only one input terminal and one output terminal that are called dipole.
Definition of a two-terminal component: this is simply an electrical component that has two terminals.
Examples of dipoles: batteries, bulbs, switches so on.

Light a Candle
Indeed, there is scientific validity to the adage,
"red sky at night sailors delight; red sky in the morning sailors take warning."
This saying has very old roots.
In the bible (Matthew 16:2-3), the following quote is attributed to Jesus: "When it is evening, ye say, fair weather: for the heaven is red and lowering." There are also versions of this saying that refer to shepherds instead of sailors.
Two factors contribute to the cogency of this saying. The first is that weather systems generally travel from west to east in the mid latitudes. Because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, a rising sun in advance of an approaching weather system would illuminate the approaching midand high-level clouds to create a red sky in the morning. Alternatively, if the sun is setting as a weather system exits and high pressure is building, then the departing clouds would be illuminated. This would create a red sky at night with fair weather to follow.
This next Week is turning out to be Amazing 😉 temps in the 80's, Winds 10-15kts, Sea's 2′-3'…..

"If you're burning the whole candle, say, "I will have good luck" for every one-third of the candle that melts away. When it's time to blow out the candle, imagine the bad luck in your life being extinguished. Light a candle in the color of your choice and say, "This candle represents me."


hundreds of thousands of trees have succumbed to their untimely death in this way.
This has created huge amounts of lumber and wood that can be used as commodities. This is where the rising demand for hardwood floors comes in. When a person wants a hardwood floor installed, someone or some company has to provide that wood. However, in the state of Colorado, rather than having to cut down virgin or old growth forests, companies can now harvest the wood from the trees the pine beetles have killed. This helps to solve the problem of the pine beetles because at least the trees that they are killing are being used to save trees elsewhere.
This wood, from the trees the pine beetles have killed, is known as reclaimed wood. It is great for the environment because it helps to decrease the need to continue cutting down forests all across the state.
Many hardwood floor refinishing companies in Denver, like T&G Flooring, use huge amounts of pine beetle wood. In fact, T&G Flooring uses the largest amount of any company in the state of Colorado. The wood looks fantastic, as it is coming from pine trees that potentially could have been cut down anyways, and it serves the dual purpose of protecting the environment as well.
These types of tactics, such as the use of reclaimed wood, are essential to the future of our planet. As more and more people continue to populate the earth, and as more and more societies develop into modern ones, the demand for raw resources and materials will continue to rise. Therefore, it is crucial that companies adopt practices like using reclaimed wood. The environment will continue to change and adapt as our climate changes, and in order to ensure the future of humanity we must adapt along with it. So the next time you are considering replacing your carpet with hardwood floors, look for reclaimed wood first.
In Colorado, There is No Better BBQ than Texas BBQ.
Texas BBQWhen it comes to barbecue, there are few states that can compare with Texas. Texas BBQ, as it is often called, is one of the most delicious and popular styles of barbecue. Of course, you can always take a trip to Texas, to sample some delicious examples of Texas barbecue. On the other hand, the one thing better than having to drive all the way to Texas, for barbecue, is to eat delicious Texas BBQ, right here, in beautiful Colorado. Furthermore, in Colorado, there is no better Texas BBQ restaurant than Bennett's Bar B Que. Their slow smoked meats and unique, delicious sauces will ensure that you never have to travel all the way to Texas, just to get amazing Texas-style barbecue.
Like any other good barbecue restaurant, one of the biggest factors that sets Bennett's BBQ apart from other barbecue restaurants is the quality and flavor of the meat. The meat itself, is always excellent, and they smoke it for a long time, to fully infuse it with smoky deliciousness. Though they have a variety of meats, all of them are hickory smoked to utter perfection. Plus, in addition to their wide array of traditional barbecue dishes, they also have some new additions to the menu that are every bit as tasty as the classics. One of their signature toppings, which is featured in various different items is their pork green chile, a Colorado favorite. It is available as both a dipping sauce and a topping, for various different appetizers and entrees. Few other Texas barbecue restaurants have that. Of course, if sauce is what you are after, their signature sauces. In addition to serving them with their delicious entrees, you can also purchase bottled sauces, for your own barbecue purposes. Their first and most classic sauce is the Bennett's Original 1985 BBQ Sauce. This is a tasty and well-rounded sauce that will satisfy any barbecue lover. Of course, what would a good BBQ place be, without choices? That is why there are two other sauces available for purchase. Bennett's Colorado Kickin' Sauce is their spicy jalepeno sauce, which is perfect for those who like their BBQ with a kick. Finally, for those who prefer a sweeter sauce, they have a Sweet Surrender Sauce, which includes brown sugar.
In addition to the food, itself, there are few other qualities any good barbecue establishment should have. First of all, BBQ should be available in large quantities. There is nothing wrong with eating a BBQ lunch, but it cannot be denied that BBQ is often best enjoyed in the company of others. That is why Bennett's Bar B Que also provides catering and family-sized entrees. That way, you can have delicious Bar B Que, at your next gathering. You may get so involved in your meal that you forget what you are celebrating. Needless to say, since they have catering, they also allow pick-up orders, of any size. Not only are they among the best BBQ restaurants, in the country, they are also one of the best carry out restaurants, in the Denver area.
Nonprofits utilizing a SEO firm will be more visible.
I feel like I have learned a ton of information through my current job and that is one of the things that I like the most about working where I do. It is a privilege to be able to come to work each day and impact the community. There are many nonprofit professionals that feel just as I feel and I think that the thing that sets them all apart is the opportunity for more and more people to start investing in the community. The more people that invest in the community, the more opportunity there is for individuals to make an impact in the place that they call home. To get people to invest in the community, the nonprofit often has to do a marketing effort to attract new investors. It is not like a stock or something like that where people may or may not see an immediate return. Rather, the investment in a nonprofit is a return on investment that will be seen over the course of many years. Nevertheless, there are a couple of things that a nonprofit can do to increase their visibility in the community. One of the items that they can do would be to develop a website that is well-designed and attracts investors. There are several ways that a nonprofit can start to do just this.
non profit web designThe first way to develop a website that people want to go to would be to create a site map. That is the opportunity to sit down and develop a way that people might want to experience the website. There will be resources, success stories, and ways for individuals to develop a keen understanding of what it is that your nonprofit does in the community. The second thing that I would recommend is the development of a nonprofit brand. My organization does a great job of this and I think that it comes around every few years that we need to be clearer about what we do in the community. Creating a marketing plan for your nonprofit allows for you to clearly specify what your organization does and why people should feel comfortable investing in your organization. It is a way for your nonprofit to develop its own narrative and to allow for people to recognize everything that you do in the community. I would be very surprised if more people did not seek out nonprofit online rather than in person. Another strategy to be considered by a nonprofit would be to utilize a SEO firm to increase visibility. Doing so is a very promising way to increase the visibility when someone is trying to research a certain issue. It allows the nonprofit to show up on Google if there is a specific term that is typed into the search area. I think it's a great way of attracting new investors for the nonprofit. I am not sure what the return on investment is, but I have to imagine that it is a good one best more clicks generally means more dollars.
Harley-Davidson parts can be found for a reasonable price.
I am one of those people that believes in getting something, a product, that will last you for a long time. My car is Japanese, I own a house that is going to be around for a long time (I hope), and I work somewhere that has already be around for more than 125 years. It is a perk to know that all of what I am doing on this planet is contributing to something that is larger than me. When thinking about the different motorcycles out there, one of which I am interested in buying, I have to consider the longevity of the product. Will it last me as long as many of the other products at which I am looking. That is the question at hand and the thing that is most pressing for me. Fortunately, I have found that there are a variety of support systems in place for the product that I am looking to buy. When I think about the ideal product, it usually ends up being a motorcycle that I can use for a very long time. The motorcycle is something that I would love to be a part of and take on a very long journey.
harley-davidson partsI have a friend that recently took his Harley-Davidson motorcycle across the country. Can you believe that? He was able to take this one machine all 3,000 plus miles across the country and it still probably works like it was brand new. With that in mind, I think that the testament of a good machine is that kind of longevity. I would hope that I would be able to find something that fit my needs like that. It would allow

Apple, Google, and Microsoft are failing U.S. students during the COVID-19 crisis
In the midst of COVID-19, schools across the country have closed their doors, and a majority of the 50 million K-12 students are now learning from home. For many, that means logging on to laptops to teleconference teachers who take digital attendance, then accessing lessons and homework to do on their own.
