This week in Maths we are going to be learning about 'Fractions!' This is not as scary as it sounds!
We are going to be focusing on halves and quarters. We have done some of this at school together so hopefully it will not be too tricky. Start by watching this little funky fraction video about halves.
Today we are going to be focusing on halving objects and shapes. It is important that you know that a half means 'one of two equal parts' and the key language you need is half and whole. Halving shapes and objects mean that if you cut them in the middle they would be in two parts, exactly the same size.
Open up the 'What is halving PowerPoint' below to remind yourself. Then complete the activity attached and check with the answers. As an extension I would like you to use some scrap paper to draw out some shapes and then draw a line showing half. Use the template below if needed. Then if you can, cut them out and fold the shape using the line you drew to check it splits exactly in half.
As a bonus – Who can remember what that line is called?

An allomorph is a different form of a Morpheme. The regular Simple Past ending is -ed. In the verb 'advised' the ending is pronounced /d/, but in 'walked' it is pronounced /t/ and in 'wanted' it is pronounced /i:d/. A verb ending in -e, like 'hire' only takes -d. These are different forms of the same thing; they are allomorphs of the simple past tense ending.

In our last week's edition of The Guardian on Sunday, we published a lead story detailing how expensive it is to train a single doctor, with conservative estimates showing that it costs between $40,000 (Sh60 million) and $60,000 (Sh90million) to train a single doctor in our local universities.
This cost could double if the doctors are trained abroad, especially in Europe and the United States of America.
Roughly speaking, we found that the sacked 300 doctors have cost the Tanzanian taxpayers a whopping Sh20 billion to train. In calculating the simple arithmetic of winners and losers, we established that the government's decision to sack the 300 doctors would cost the country more than the benefits the move was intended to gain.
Our survey used a study conducted by Canadian scientists last year, which was published in November 2011 by the British Medical Journal, as a benchmark to calculate the cost of medical education and the loss of returns on investment for Tanzania and the rest of sub-Saharan Africa.
With Tanzania being among sub-Saharan African countries which lost about $2 billion (Sh3.1 trillion) by mid last year invested in the training of doctors, who, however, ended up migrating to more prosperous developed nations, the loss resulting from the sacking of the 300 doctors could worsen the health situation in the country.
According to the research by the Canadian scientists, it costs between $59,000 and $21,000 to train a single doctor in East and Southern Africa - putting an average cost of training a doctor in a country like Tanzania at $40,000. To put things in the proper perspective, the 300 doctors sacked by the government last week cost the taxpayer $12 million (Sh18.96 billion) to train. The study found that while poor countries such as Tanzania invested heavily in the training of doctors, the countries ended up suffering in terms of brain drain due to the doctors emigrating, while Australia, Canada, Britain and the United States benefited the most by recruiting the doctors trained abroad.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), Tanzania has one of the lowest doctor-to-patient ratios in the world, with one doctor for every 30,000 people. In the United States there is one doctor for every 300 people. To provide even basic healthcare, Tanzania is 89,000 healthcare workers short. By 2019, without intervention, the gap is expected to exceed 100,000. This being the situation today we ask whether Tanzania can afford sacking all these doctors, which we trained at a very expensive cost. Sacking medics who cost the nation dearly to train just because the government has failed to find a more acceptable and wise way of ending the doctors' strike is unjustifiable, to say the least.
Yesterday some foreign media reported the exodus of Tanzanian doctors migrating to Southern Africa in search for greener pastures. Previously Botswana benefited a lot by taking Tanzanian doctors but, according to the latest media reports, now other Southern African countries have joined the rush to lure our doctors to their countries.
Ironically, while we were busy quarrelling with our doctors as well as torturing some of them, Rwanda last week placed an advert seeking to recruit more doctors from the East African region.
Even if our government sacked and cancelled the licences of all the striking doctors, it wouldn't stop their migration to Rwanda, or any other countries in the world for that matter, where they believe they are more valued and the Tanganyika Medical Board's sway counts for naught.
For it's not the licence that counts but the brains and expertise which matter. While they may be barred from practicing in Tanzania, elsewhere their skills and experience are highly sought.
Whether we like it or not, in the final analysis it's the government and the people who will end up losing most in this game.

History & Region
Ceylon Orange Pekoe is a classic breakfast tea grown on the island of Sri Lanka. The name comes from the Dutch
Royal House of Orange - not from the fruit.
Situated just off the southern coast of India, Sri Lanka's climate is tropical,
with two distinct monsoon seasons allowing for yearlong tea production. Gorgeous
green tea bushes wrap the lush hills, and the narrow roads wind through the
Long ago, Europe found it
an ideal place for trading, and it became colonized for 450 years before
gaining independence in 1948. The Portuguese, Dutch and British have all left
their influence. The island is now home to almost 20 million people.
The Dutch were the first to experiment with planting tea,
but without success. When the British secured the island, they had more luck.
Planters came from England
spurred by courage and opportunity. They bought land and toiled in harsh
conditions, and by 1875, the tea industry was up and going. Sir Thomas Lipton is the most famous of the
Tea produced in Sri Lanka is still referred to as
is the world's third largest producer of tea in the world. Most estates are
also home to their own tea factories, processing thousands of tons of tea in
many instances. The majority of tea production is black, 'orthodox' and grown
in the following regions: Kandy, Nuwara Eliya,
Dimbula, Uva, Ratnapura and Galle.
The region of Nuwara Eliya is the highest growing region and is credited for
producing the finest teas.
'Orthodox' tea production is a
method of crushing tealeaves by rolling. The rolling process helps break down
and twist the leaves, allowing oxidization to begin. The tea is then fired, and
final grading is based on the quality of the leaf.
Glossary of Tea Grades
Pekoe: derived from
the Chinese word 'bai hao' meaning 'white hair.' It refers to the silvery white
down present on young tealeaves.
Flowery Orange Pekoe:
high quality whole or broken leaf tea with lots of tips
whole leaf tea with some tips
whole leaf tea with leaves rolled lengthwise
Pekoe: whole leaf
tea of medium quality
Broken Orange Pekoe:

broken, less quality tealeaves
Tasting Notes & Brewing
When making our teas from Ceylon, we like to pre-heat our
teapot or mug. Add 1 teaspoon per cup, add hot water (just as it comes to a
boil) and steep until desired strength. This tea is ideal for making in a
porcelain teapot with white cups that show off its clear amber color.


Nuclear astrophysics requires a diverse set of research infrastructures for progress: telescopes for astronomical observations, nuclear laboratories to measure nuclear properties and rates, and supercomputers to compute complex stellar models. ChETEC-INFRA is a Starting Community of Research Infrastructures that networks altogether 13 such infrastructures from a variety of European countries.
From 2021-2025, ChETEC-INFRA provides free access to these infrastructures to researchers from any country, with proposals selected based on scientific excellence only. In addition, dedicated work packages improve the usability and accessibility of the three types of infrastructures and network them with each other, with the nuclear astrophysics community, and with other scientific disciplines.
ChETEC-INFRA includes a strong outreach component, with support to both established and new nuclear astrophysics scientific schools, outreach to high school students, to the detector industry, and to other stakeholders. Within ChETEC-INFRA, data are archived and catalogued for long-term sustainability beyond the end of the project, ranging from evaluated nuclear reaction rates to detailed abundance data for a multitude of stars to tracer nucleosynthesis calculations. The 32 ChETEC-INFRA partner institutions in 17 countries aim to serve both the European and international nuclear astrophysics communities and are networked with related efforts in the United States, China, and Japan.
The ChETEC-INFRA community builds on the success of the ChETEC COST Action CA16117 (Chemical Elements as Tracers of the Evolution of the Cosmos).

Percentage of Overweight, Obese Students Reported For First Time In Kenai
ANCHORAGE — About 36 percent of students in the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District are overweight or obese, which is similar to the percentage reported in Anchorage, the largest school district in the state. Last year Kenai district staff asked the state to help them determine the prevalence of obesity in their student population. The Kenai Peninsula Borough is now the third school district to partner with DHSS to help track childhood obesity in Alaska.
Across Alaska, about three out of 10 children are above a healthy weight. Dr. Ward Hurlburt, Alaska's chief medical officer, considers childhood obesity the predominant public health threat of this generation. Obese children are more likely than children of healthy weight to struggle academically and experience health problems, such as diabetes and asthma.
In 2012, the Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) launched the Play Every Day campaign to raise awareness about the risks of childhood obesity, encourage children to be more physically active, and promote the Healthy Futures Physical Activity Challenge in Alaska schools.
Dr. Andrea Fenaughty, an epidemiologist with DHSS, and Karol Fink, the department's obesity program manager, shared the new data with the Kenai Peninsula Borough School Board at a meeting Monday, Nov. 12. The department has been working with the Anchorage School District since 2003 and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District since 2010 to report height and weight measurements of students.
Tracking the height and weight of Alaska students over time provides an indication of whether childhood obesity is increasing or decreasing statewide. During summer 2012, for example, a department analysis of Anchorage School District data showed for the first time a small decrease in the prevalence of overweight and obese students — from 38 to 36 percent — when comparing the 2002–03 and 2010–11 school years. Though small, the decline was statistically significant, or unlikely to be due to chance, Fenaughty said.
The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, the fourth largest school district in the state, has taken several steps toward providing a school environment that is not just focused on academic health, but also the physical health of students, Fenaughty said. These steps — such as banning junk food from school campuses and providing free and reduced fee breakfast and lunch — have been shown to improve the overall health and academic success of children, she said.
"While I am disappointed to learn that more than one-third of our students are overweight, I am encouraged that our district is making positive changes to improve our students' physical health," said Dr. Steve Atwater, borough school district superintendent. "This study's results are an important first step for establishing baseline data that will help us measure the impact of our improvement efforts in this area."
Fenaughty presented the following key findings to the Kenai Peninsula Borough School Board Monday:
During the 2010–11 and 2011–12 schools years, school nurses recorded the height and weight of borough students as a routine part of the nurses' annual student health assessment.
DHSS data analysts used 7,656 height and weight values to calculate body mass index (BMI), an indicator of body fat and risk of obesity-related health problems. The values represented 41 percent of total student enrollment in the represented grades during that two-year period.
In 2011–12, the prevalence of overweight and obese Kenai public school students was 36 percent.

Taroko Xiangde Temple 太魯閣祥德寺, Hsiang-Te Temple
Xiangde Temple
Xiángdé Sì
Why Should I Go?
Built into the mountainside on the opposite side of the river across the Pudu Bridge from Tianxiang Village in Taroko National Park, the Xiangde Temple is a Buddhist temple from which visitors can enjoy a bird-eye view of Tianxiang and the surrounding area.
This temple is known for having the world's highest-elevated statue of Ksitigarbha (地藏), a bodhisattva revered by East Asians for protecting those in hell (那落迦), as he has vowed not to attain buddhahood until all beings in all hells have been freed. He is generally depicted as a Buddhist monk with a bald head and halo carrying a staff with a Cintāmaṇi jewel at the top (如意寶珠, similar to a philosopher's stone) to light the dark and force open the gates of hell.
Completed in 1968, the main hall is also surrounded by the Tianfeng Pagoda and a white-robed Guanyin statue.
About halfway up the walk is a merchant area selling local tea and snacks.

Read Full Story
The history of Maya Traditions begins in 1988 when Jane Mintz, a social worker and expert weaver, began working with local women weavers and their families. In 1994 she met anthropologist Martha Lynd who was researching textiles as a medium of communication and relationship amongst women of indigenous origin in Guatemala. Jane's and Martha's shared passion for textiles and Maya culture made it possible for the consolidation of Maya Traditions as a foundation. Their mission is to create work opportunities for women and to preserve the ancient back strap loom textiles.
As a foundation, Maya Traditions works with six different groups of artisan women from the Solola region. The women are descendants of several Maya groups, on average they have five children each, and they have scarce economic resources. They live in small villages that are difficult to get to, which in turn makes it difficult for their products to reach other markets. Everything they earn they invest in their family's wellbeing and in their children's education.
"As women from the countryside, we've been socially marginalized," says Floridalma Perez, who has been with the foundation since 2005. "We don't have access or even permission to train in anything. The fact that we speak different Maya dialects also made it worse in terms of communication and to teach each other our different textile techniques.
"However, with time and with the foundation's support we've been able to overcome these obstacles. We've realized that every person in the world has the same rights, and that we are capable of offering a better life to our children. We now know we can be proud of our textile legacy.
"To us, weaving is like meditation. It's what we know best. We are inspired by nature and the symbols of our Maya culture so that we may create weaves that are full of color and meaning."
Maya Traditions is a member of the Fair Trade Federation, an NGO in Guatemala, and to this day they continue recognizing the rights of women, improving their social and economic status, training women and developing leadership skills so they may improve theirs and their families quality of life.
With the sales of their products, donations and educational tours, Maya Traditions has successfully developed a variety of social programs in education, health, and handcrafts.
"Maya Traditions trains women in product design, color management, quality, etc. Results so far are excellent but we're going through a difficult time because it is not easy to market our products," says Yolanda Calgue, who has been a weaver with the foundation since 1998. "That's why the opportunity that Novica offers is of great help. It is fundamental for the women to keep feeling motivated!"


The Psychology of Being Short and Paranoid
in Project HOPE10 months ago
No doubt, thousands of literatures exist which describe the behaviour of short people. While some of those descriptions are objective, others are biased and largely driven by prejudice and sentiments. When the work is written by a short people, it is likely to say positive things and vice versa.
Surprisingly, the stereotypes have escaped the pages of books - we find them resurfacing in the proverbs we use in everyday conversation, regardless of the language we speak. People have always had their opinions on that issue.
At any rate, psychologists have, over the years, explained that human behaviour and personality are shaped by a number of factors - including body size, the state of being tall or short, of being fat or slim. People tend to react to situations, even form opinions about others, based on their perception of the object of interaction and their own self.
In this regard, short people are said to be very likely to be paranoid because of their height. According to a 2014 study published in the Journal of Psychiatry Research, some Oxford psychologists found that short people were more prone to being paranoid; mistrustful of others, feel persecuted and threatened.
Time Magazine reported that, in conducting the popular study, the Oxford researchers sent 60 women on two simulated rides in London subways that were populated by both men and women. The virtual vintage point of the women were lowered by 25 centimeters in one of the rides. Interestingly, the participants, though often unaware that they were just being shrunken slightly, reported increased feelings of paranoia while seeing through the eyes of a shorter avatar.
The researchers concluded that being short "led to more negative evaluations of the self compared with others and greater levels of paranoia." This clearly explains that short people are more likely to be paranoid than tall people. To a large extent, short people tend to be paranoid and distrustful of others because they either feel intimated or see themselves as very likely to be taken advantaged of. So, they become paranoid as a defensive mechanism against any external aggression or hostility.
So, the next time you meet a short person who is paranoid, remember two things: that short people do so to naturally protect themselves from exploitation and that body size greatly shape our personality and perception of the world.
I will pick offense. I stand for short people. I am on the brief side of life tho
Lol oh no offense intended.
Just kidding
hehehe very good reflection.!! Although the truth is that when you are an insecure being you may be higher than everyone else but mentally you will be very empty and disturbed.
Hahaha I think that you're right. It's more about mindset than the actual height of a person physically. This is really a good way to look at the matter. Thanks.
Interesting concept, the truth is that I understand it From my point of view, small people should try harder to get things done a sample of this we can see in the series that happen on television, about the lives of dwarf families.So it is very understandable.Great information.
Glad you find it worthwhile. Thanks.

Influence of silica fume on the microstructure of cement pastes: New insights from H-1 NMR relaxometry
H-1 NMR has been used to characterise white Portland cement paste incorporating 10 wt.% of silica fume. Samples were measured sealed throughout the hydration without sample drying. Paste compositions and C-S-H characteristics are calculated based on H-1 NMR signal intensities and relaxation analysis. The results are compared with a similar study of plain white cement paste. While the presence of silica fume has little influence on C-S-H densities, the chemical composition is impacted. After 28 days of sealed hydration, the Ca/(Si + Al) ratio of the C-S-H is 1.33 and the H2O/(Si + Al) ratio is 1.10 when 10% of silica fume is added to the white cement. A densification of the C-S-H with time is observed. There are no major changes in capillary, C-S-H gel and interlayer pore sizes for the paste containing silica fume compared to the plain white cement paste. However, the gel/interlayer water ratio increases in the silica fume blend. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The Impacts of Digital Currency on China's Monetary System by Qianru Xiang
This dissertation contributes to the evaluation of how digital currency would affect the monetary system by studying the influence on money demand and supply, as well as the velocity of money. After exploring the characteristics of digital currency and comparing functions with fiat currency, this dissertation establishes an econometric model to explore further the relationship between digital currency, money supply and the velocity of money in the China monetary system. In order to quantify the effects of digital currency on the changing amount of fiat currency, by analysing cash ratio, electronic currency level, financial electronic level and interest rate, this research suggests that the extension of digital currency could bring variation to the velocity of money in both the long and short term. Although the initial stage of digital currency limits the results analysis, by discussing the impacts of digital currency on the central bank of China, this dissertation concludes with China's monetary policy recommendations.

Finishing School: So You Don't Look Like A Jerk Around Rich People
Finishing school, once the realm of the tiny daughters of steel magnates training for a future in rich housewifery, is now a different animal. While finishing-school grads can still walk like non-water buffalos and clap after the opera in a way that doesn't cause mass monocle-poppings, the reason for mastering the rules of decorum has changed, and one school in Switzerland teaches its students that the road to wealth is paved with good manners. Or, maybe more accurately, the moat around existing superwealth is filled with obscure decorum rules.
TIME reports that Institut Villa Pierrefeu (IVP) in Switzerland is the last of its kind in the country, but that business is booming, because manners are important and no one should ever, ever, act poor.
Many elements of the school sound ripped from the pages of an imaginary magazine called Wealthy Stereotypes Quarterly; the palatial school overlooks Lake Geneva and was originally built to house a baroness. The school's staff frequently travels to the Middle East to tutor royalty from the comfort of their palaces. Its halls are populated with the offspring of royalty, businesspeople, and some say even The Monopoly Man himself. Students do not share their last names with the teachers or with other students, as the very act of telling people who you are in a place like this technically constitutes a humblebrag. It's like an AA meeting for people who are addicted to attending Bilderberg.
Some of the lessons are hilariously stuffy and retro — like the role play where one student is chastised for finishing her meal before the student playing her husband (the "wife" responds that instead of eating more slowly, her husband should learn to eat faster), or the pearl-wearing graduate and former businesswoman who now splits her time between entertaining guests in her home in Hong Kong and traveling around to parties teaching people how to peel kiwi.
But it's not all kiwi and husbands. The school insists that it teaches future business leaders how to flourish in an international environment that punishes women for not knowing the decorum of other countries. It offers classes on proper ways to interact with businesspeople from BRIC (Brazil/Russia/India/China) countries, since many analysts assume the next century's global economic development will be most dynamic there, and emphasizes that one's presentation can impact the outcome of a professional interaction. Heaven forbid a woman pull a cultural faux pas like gleefully combing her hair at the table with what turns out to be an eating utensil, Little Mermaid-style.
Anyone interested in Eliza Doolittling (or Julia Robertsing) their way into high society by acting refined should begin saving their farthings now; a six-week course at the school will set you back $20,000.

Wacom Tablet
From Higher Intellect Vintage Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Wacom tablets use a patented electromagnetic resonance technology. Since the tablet provides power to the pen through resonant coupling, no battery or cord is required for the pointing device. As a result, there are no batteries inside the pen (or the accompanying puck). This allows for more slender pens, and gives the pen-and-tablet combination a long and essentially maintenance free lifespan. However the battery-less technology makes the tablet bigger and heavier than other technologies.
Under the tablet's surface (or LCD in the case of the Cintiq) is a printed circuit board with a grid of multiple send/receive coils and a magnetic reflector attached behind the grid array. In send mode, the tablet generates a close-coupled electromagnetic field (also known as a B-field) at a frequency of 531khz. This close-coupled field stimulates oscillation in the pen's coil/capacitor LC circuit when brought into range of the B-field. Any excess resonant electromagnetic energy is reflected back to the tablet. In receive mode, the energy of the resonant circuit's oscillations in the pen is detected by the tablet's grid. This information is analyzed by the computer to determine the pen's position, by interpolation and Fourier analysis of the signal intensity. In addition, the pen communicates other vital information, such as pen tip pressure, side-switch status, tip vs. eraser orientation, and the ID number of the tool (to differentiate between different pens. mice, etc.). For example, applying more or less pressure to the tip of the pen changes the value of the pen's timing circuit capacitor. This signal change can be communicated in an analog or digital method. An analog implementation would modulate the phase angle of the resonant frequency, and a digital method is communicated to a modulator which distributes the information digitally to the tablet. The tablet forwards this and other relevant tool information in packets, up to 200 times per second, to the computer.
Model shown to the right is a serial port Intuos2 connected to an SGI Tezro workstation.

You need eoe.sw.optinput on the IRIX overlay's installed to use it and note that this doesn't enable your intuos 2 tablets, you'll need a separate driver for that... Also the serial device manager needs to know you're using a wacom on a serial port.

Wise words
 - does it work in X/?
 - cause it shouldnt unless your running smoke or flame
 - edit /usr/discreet/smoke_2008whateverversion/cfg/init.cfg
 - and make sure the dlwacom entry points to the right serial port
 - then run smoke
 - also do not leave the pen on the tablet like shown in the top image as it confuses smoke on start up. Have the pen away from the tablet until smoke turns to the smoke cursor at least.
 - should be just set it up in init.cfg and launch smoke
 - but dont move the tablet around while its launching that will confuse it
 - wait til the cursor changes to a smoke icon

Everyone who ever worked with a Wacom tablet knows how much their tablets rock - for many taks, especially for image manipulation and painting. However, to get one of these up and running, you'll need... you guessed it, a driver. Now, we don't expect Wacom to be a bunch of pot smoking communists, but asking $150 for an extra UNIX driver CD per machine just to make the product actually functional... it's too tempting to cut just the "communists" out of this. Enough ranting, if you have an older Wacom tablet (not an Intuos or Graphire... the following does *not* work on them) now for the good news: you don't need their driver CD! Here's how it works:
First of all, you'll need the IRIX 6.5 Foundation 1 CD [note: I'm pretty sure the needed package is on the IRIX 6.2 & 5.3 CD also, but I don't have a machine with 6.2 or 5.3 here at the moment, so I can't check. If you know more about this, please drop me a note]. Open the Software Manager (# swmgr &), or just doubleclick the CD icon on the desktop after you inserted the CD and swmgr will come up automatically. Be sure to have everything unchecked at first ("Selected/Unmark all"), and then search for the package eoe.sw.optinput (or "optional input devices" if you have long names on in swmgr). Surprisingly, you'll find it as a subset of eoe.sw. If you have anything else than plain vanilla IRIX 6.5 (hopefully! If answer=yes, go grab a recent set of overlays on first and bring your OS up to date), also open the first overlay CD, depening on the OS level you're on. For me, it's the first CD of 6.5.17m. Then mark eoe.sw.optinput for install. Should look like this (click for full resolution image) - and no, don't ask me why my swmgr shows a net change of -324k, I have no clue:
After you installed the driver, you'll need to reboot your machine. Next step is to configure the serial port you have the tablet connected to (I strongly suggest serial port 2, because 1 is where you connect a terminal to your machine). Open the serial device manager to configure the port in case this hasn't been done automatically after the reboot. You'll find the serial device manager through the system manager, which is hidden in toolchest under "System/System Manager" and looks like this:
Next, look under /usr/lib/X11/input/config for a file named "wacom" - it likely doesn't exist yet. If it's there, open it and compare it to the content below, if not, fire up your favourite editor and create it. In either case, it should look like this:
 x_init {
 scalewhich "none"
 pushpointer "on"
 autostart "on"
 device_init {
 pressure "on"
You may need to reboot your machine again, I don't know, my port was already configured after the reboot but this can also be because of an older Wacom driver installation. It doesn't hurt in any case.
Upon the next startup, you should have a working Wacom tablet under IRIX!
Now for the fun part: we want the Wacom control panel to work also, don't we? No problem, just download it from For my ArtPad II, I downloaded the Wacom_SGI_4.7.2.tar.gz file, which is actually the whole driver kit... which would ask for a license if you install it completely. As we don't need their stinky driver any more, all we want is the control panel, right? So download the file, gunzip & untar it and fire up swmgr manually, point it to the SGI/dist directory and only install the control panel. Don't bother installing the help files, they're password protected PDFs... not that this too much of a problem, but we want stay 100% legal, don't we?
You can also download just the control panel alone,

Long space tours may cause blurred eyesight in astronauts
An advanced health study warns NASA of a health threat that its astronauts are exposed to while traveling in space. Health experts working with NASA say staying in space for a longer period increases the chances of an astronaut's exposure to blurred vision.
Researchers in the field have also doubly caution the agency on extensive space mission, for instance space trip to Mars, as this might make the astronaut completely unsighted.
The survey substantiates the study
A recent survey conducted by NASA on its 300 astronauts found out that 30 percent of the astronauts on two-week shuttle mission and 60 percent of the astronauts on six-month ISS mission complained of blurring vision either during or after their tours.
To take necessary action against the looming danger, NASA has specially appointed an expert team to examine the situation thoroughly. As an instant measure, the space agency has also sent special eye-glasses for the affected astronauts currently on their mission to the International Space Station.
Health hazard for space astronauts
Though all the crew members are potentially vulnerable, it is hard to determine who would be definitely vulnerable; maintained Chief NASA Astronaut Peggy Whitson.
As per Whitson, "Some people, it reverses and they come back to the same level that they were at pre-flight. Others have not been reversible."
Besides blurred eyesight, astronauts may also suffer deconditioned muscles due to restricted motion and microgravity adaption while staying in a small orbiting object.
To add to the above ill effects, falling bone density and swelled up faces as fluid normally in feet area remains adrift into the head area, are also major problems faced in the space, say health experts.

A console applicaton, such as a telnet emulator, needs to implement a console window for the user to type commands. It is not that easy to code everything that a text editor does. Windows' edit control does everything for us, so why do not use it?
The following example indicates how to do this. CConsoleBox derives from CEdit. By customizing several standard behaviors, it works like a console.
Above is a demo to show how to use CConsoleBox. What the user types will be converted to upper case and echoed back at the console.
The user can call back previously typed commands by pressing the Up/Down keys.
Note: Not all "key combinations" and "Windows command messages" are implemented. You need to write your own code to do what you want.

Articulate Storyline's publishing options make it easy to publish and upload your course to Articulate Online, all at once.
Step 1: Enter the Title and Description
- On the Home tab of the Storyline ribbon, click the Publish button. (Or, from any other tab on the ribbon, you can click the small triangle under the Preview button, and then choose Publish.)
- When the Publish window appears, select Articulate Online.
- Check the text that appears in the Title field, and customize it if you like. This text defaults to the name of your Storyline file. If you change it, it'll change the title text that Storyline uses in the following places (but it won't change your actual file name):
- The title of your content as it appears in Articulate Online's content list.
- The browser title bar, when learners view your published course in a browser window.
- The top bar of your course player, if you've opted to include the title as one of the player features.
- If you publish your content for use with the Articulate Mobile Player, the course title is also used on the HTML launch page from which learners can add the course to their player. Once they do that, the title is added to the list of course names in the mobile player library.
- In the Description field, you can enter some descriptive text about your course if you like. If you enter a description, it'll be used in the following places:
- When you manage your content in Articulate Online, the description will appear along with the course title.
- The description will appear to learners who access your content through Articulate Online's user portal, if you choose to enable that. (You can learn more about the user portal and other options for giving users access to your content, in this tutorial.)
- If you publish your content for use with the Articulate Mobile Player, the description is also used on the HTML launch page from which learners can add the course to their player. Once they do that, the description text appears below the course thumbnail in the mobile player library.
If learners will view content on iPads with the Articulate Mobile Player, you can add more information by clicking the ellipsis button (...) next to the Title field on the Publish window. The following Project Info window appears.
- The Title and Description are the same as what you entered on the Publish window; change the text here if you'd like.
- When learners browse content in their Articulate Mobile Player library, the thumbnail below the Title field will appear for this course. By default, Storyline uses an image of the first slide in your course, but you can choose a different image. Just click the blue slide title text. Then either select a different slide, or click Picture from File and choose an image.
- Author, Email, Website, Duration, Date, and Version appear on the content information cards in the Articulate Mobile Player library.
- Identifier applies only to content published for LMS.
- Keywords aren't currently used. They'll be used in a future version of the Articulate Mobile Player app.
When you're finished customizing the project information, click OK to return to the Publish window.
Step 3: Choose HTML5 and/or Mobile Publishing (Optional)
If some or all of your learners will access your content with an iPad or some other mobile device that doesn't support Flash, you can use the following options on the Publish window to make your course viewable in HTML5, the Articulate Mobile Player, or both. If you do this, be sure to also check out the info here so that your content looks and behaves the way you expect when viewed in a non-Flash environment.
- Include HTML5 output: This prepares your course so that it's viewable as HTML5 content if a learner doesn't have the Flash player and they view your course in an HTML5-compatible browser. Keep in mind that not all browsers handle HTML5 content equally. This article identifies which browsers your learners should use if they need to view your course as HTML5 content.
- Use Articulate Mobile Player on iPad: This prepares your course so that learners receive the best possible viewing experience on an iPad. (IMPORTANT: If you need to track and report on learners' progress or results, you'll need to publish your content with Storyline Update 1 or later. If you republish and re-upload a course that you previously published to Articulate Online, the newly published course will replace the previous one—and any existing data will stay intact—as long as you keep the Title field the same.) If you do mark this option, users may view the content through the free Articulate Mobile Player, which they'll be prompted to install the first time they attempt to use their iPad to view a Storyline-published course.
- Allow downloading for offline viewing: This checkbox box is currently ignored when you publish to Articulate Online, since learners will need to be online in order for the course to send tracking data to your account. (A future version of the Articulate Mobile Player may support offline viewing, and if so, at that time this setting will be honored for courses you previously published.)
Step 4: Check Player Properties and Quality Settings
The Properties section of the Publish window is where you can make any last-minute changes to your course player, or change the compression settings Storyline uses when publishing.
- The Player field shows the name of the player that Storyline will use when you publish. (The player is the interface that users see when they view your course, and it can include things like player controls, resources, a glossary, a menu, and other features.) Click the player name if you'd like to make some final adjustments to your player or switch to a different player. If you need help choosing your player settings, see the tutorials here.
- The Quality field allows you to control the compression settings Storyline uses for any audio, video, and pictures you've added to your course. The settings here default to whatever you used the last time you published a Storyline project. To change the quality settings, click the blue text and change any of the fields as noted below; then click OK.
- Choose Standard if you want to use the default settings. If you mark this option, the values on the window revert back to their defaults (video quality of 5, audio bitrate of 48kbps, and image quality of 80%).
- Choose Custom if you want to define your own quality settings. Then click and drag the slider on any of the three values to change the compression. Using higher values means higher-quality output, but also larger file sizes (which means longer download times). Lower values mean smaller file sizes and faster download times, but the visual and audio quality will be lower as well.
In the Properties section of the Publish window, click the Tracking field to open the following window, where you can choose your options for the way Articulate Online tracks and reports on your learners' progress:
- Report status to AO allows you to choose the wording that Articulate Online uses in reports when expressing learners' status. Use the selector to choose one of the four options available.
Communicate resume data allows you to choose how Articulate Online handles resume data if you've enabled the resume feature on your player.
- On Course Complete: With this option, the course communicates resume data when the learner closes the browser window in which they're viewing your course, or when they reach the completion threshold that you choose in the Tracking section (explained below).
- After Every Slide: With this option, the course sends resume data each time the learner advances to another slide in your course. If you choose this option, and if you've enabled the resume feature on your player, then learners who experience an internet disruption while taking your course will still be able to pick up where they left off, without losing their progress, when they relaunch the course. Keep in mind that because this option results in frequent communication between your course and Articulate Online, it does increase network traffic, which can become significant if you roll out your course to many learners at the same time.
- In the Tracking section of the window, choose one of the following:
- Track using number of slides viewed: With this option, you can specify how many slides learners need to view in order to complete the course.
- Track using quiz result: This option appears if your course includes a quiz result slide. Select this if you want to track learners based on their quiz results. If your course has multiple quizzes, you'll need to pick just one result slide to use for tracking.
- Click OK when you're finished setting up your tracking and reporting preferences.
Step 6: Enter Your Articulate Online Credentials and Publish
- For your Account information, enter your Articulate Online credentials. Type your Account URL, your E-mail address, and your Password. (You'll need to be an administrator or publisher on your account in order to publish content.) If you want Storyline to remember your password for the next time you publish, you can mark Save my password.
- Click Publish.
Your content gets published and uploaded to Articulate Online, all at once. How fast this happens depends on the size of your course and also how fast your connection speed is. When the Publish Successful window appears, you can click Manage Content to open Articulate Online and manage the course you just uploaded, or work with any other content you've published to your account.
Can You Publish Locally, Then Upload Later?
Yes. For example, if a corporate firewall prohibits you from publishing automatically to Articulate Online, you can publish the content locally and then manually upload to Articulate Online via your browser. To find

The Slippy Flippy Challenge: Make Active Boundaries in Sprite Kit.
icon2_120In Flappy Bird, hitting the top or bottom boundaries ends the game. They also convey a sense of motion. The boundaries make for a better playing experience. Last time, we set up collision detection, but we need boundaries that are sprites. Sprite node boundaries would be able to tell us what we hit, and run handlers for those cases. We animate them to give a sense of motion.
The boundaries are two sprites that don't move. We have one on the top of the screen and one on the bottom of it. Most properties of the top and bottom sprites are the same. Make one method to make both:
-(SKSpriteNode *)makeWorldBoundaryWithName:(NSString*)name{
 CGSize size = CGSizeMake(self.frame.size.width, self.frame.size.height * 0.10); //10% of height
 SKSpriteNode *boundary = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithColor:[UIColor blueColor] size:size]; = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%_USER_",name]; //all boundaries suffixed with Boundary
 boundary.physicsBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithRectangleOfSize:size]; //physics on, no gravity or motion
 boundary.physicsBody.dynamic = NO;
 boundary.physicsBody.categoryBitMask = obstacleCategory;
 boundary.physicsBody.collisionBitMask = penguinCategory;
 boundary.physicsBody.contactTestBitMask = penguinCategory;
 return boundary;
This code should be familiar by now. It has been covered in other posts. We make the boundary size proportional to self.frame. With two boundaries, take a fifth of the frame height for the boundary, and the width of the screen. Make the boundary a solid blue, and set up physics. Like the obstacles, this is a non dynamic physics body. Set the collision bit masks to find this as a boundary. If there is a penguin collision, the physics engine executes didBeginContact: as we discussed last time.
Orient the boundary to the edge of the frame. Some quick calculations can find it, but there is a better way. Each node has a property AnchorPoint which is a CGPoint with x and y values between 0.0 and 1.0. Sprite Kit uses AnchorPoint to figure position. By default, it is the center of the node.
anchor points
Anchor Points
As indicated in blue, we can use points at (0.5,1.0) and (0.5,0.0) as anchor points for aligning the top and bottom directly to the edge. We can add the following code to initWithSize:.
//make boundaries
SKSpriteNode *topBoundary= [self makeWorldBoundaryWithName:@"top"];
topBoundary.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.5, 1.0); //top center anchor
topBoundary.position = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.frame), CGRectGetMaxY(self.frame));
[self addChild:topBoundary];
SKSpriteNode *bottomBoundary = [self makeWorldBoundaryWithName:@"bottom"];
bottomBoundary.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.5, 0.0); //bottom center anchor
bottomBoundary.position = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.frame), CGRectGetMinX(self.frame));
[self addChild:bottomBoundary];
The new method makeWorldBoundaryWithName:makes a sprite. Change the anchor point, then place our boundary easily on the edge of self.frame.
Build and run:
iOS Simulator Screen shot May 12, 2014, 6.09.00 AM
We now have top and bottom boundaries. The penguin bounces off them. As we move forward, there are several thing we need to do:
 - Add animation on the boundaries to convey a sense of movement
 - Handle a Game Over situation
 - Correct the obstacle code so the gap must show up in playable space
 - Add a scoring and high score mechanism
We will address each of these. Next time, we will add animation on the boundaries through marquee animation.

Negotiating Physician Employment Contracts: Attitude Is Everything
Negotiating Physician Employment Contracts: Attitude Is Everything
Linked Articles
I had a very unpleasant phone call this morning with a lawyer representing a young resident taking his first job in Chicago. This lawyer was a litigator and cousin of the physician. He had no prior experience with a physician contract.
While I represent many physician practices, I also work with residents and fellows from across the country to review their employment agreements. As such, I have been on both sides of the employment contract equation numerous times.
Although I could offer valuable advice on the terms of an employment agreement, what is equally valuable (but not often discussed) is the appropriate conduct of physicians and medical practices (as well as their representatives) when negotiating employment contracts.
The following are some items to consider:
1. Find a lawyer familiar with physician contracts. It's worth the time and expense to get proper advice and a quality contract. Your real estate lawyer may not be the right person for the job, no matter how great his rates may be. Whether you are the employer or the employee, you need a representative who will ask the right questions and seek out the most protective language so as to avoid future misunderstanding and litigation.
2. Decide how you want the lawyer, consultant, or practice manager to handle negotiations and express your wishes. Negotiations go more easily and quickly when parties seek an efficient and fair resolution to issues. An overly aggressive or hostile lawyer, for example, who demands what they want at all costs, is not well suited to negotiations and is a poor representative of your interests. Contract negotiations should not be personal. Sometimes you get everything you want and sometimes you do not. In my opinion, a lawyer or consultant has done his or her job when they help their client to understand the contract terms, focus on the real issues, communicate the need (or denial) for the requested changes in a professional manner to the other side, and help the parties reach as amicable a conclusion as possible.
3. Sometimes it's easier to fight over deal points than it is to compromise. For example there are certain parts of a contract that are going to seem unfair to a physician joining a practice, but no matter what your hear, in most states restrictive covenants are enforceable when properly drafted, tail coverage is typically paid for by a terminated physician, and partnership is often not mentioned in the contract at all. Arguing over the legitimacy of these basic physician contract provisions distracts from the negotiating that can be done: What if the covenant applies only if the physician quits or is terminated with cause? What if the tail is paid by the practice if the associate stays for a certain length of time? What if the parties agree to discuss partnership by a certain date? Many significant issues can be compromised in some cordial manner.
4. Practices should pay attention to criticisms of their contract. Your agreement may have served you well for many years, but is it outdated? Inaccurate? A contract should be updated regularly to remain competitive and to minimize liability. Make sure your advisors share all comments from opposing counsel with you and consider them carefully before refusing changes. A fantastic surgeon you want to recruit for your group is not going to sign a contract her lawyer reports is poorly drafted and uncompetitive unless changes are made.
Remember that tough negotiations can leave a bad taste for all parties long after the contracts are signed. I have had groups retract an offer and physicians look for another position as a result of negotiation tactics, even when the personalities were otherwise a great fit. The manner in which a contract is handled can set the tone for the parties' entire relationship.
Physician practices are like marriages. You join a practice hoping to have a long-term connection and to spend a career working together. Like any marriage, however, it's important to enter into the relationship thoughtfully, with flexibility and some humility. Contract negotiations can tell you a lot about whether there's a divorce or a golden anniversary in your future.

Rhythm of Execution
In Bridge and Dam, Pontoise (Le Pont et le barrage, Pontoise) (1881) Cézanne is using a very similar, almost rhythmic, underdrawing scheme similar to that used in L'Hermitage at Pontoise (1881). The path and bridge are outlined in a comparatively meticulous fashion. Masses of foliage are noted in the underdrawing with a characteristic flurry of scribbles. Upon this underdrawing Cézanne merges two modes of paint application; the varied thickness of paint we saw in the L'Hermitage and the much thinner series of washes he used in Turning Road, Auvers-sur-Oise (La Route tournante à Auvers-sur-Oise), also from 1881. The bushes in the foreground and trees on the bank of the river are initially brushed in with a very thin wash as the foreground of L'Hermitage. Atop of these passages Cézanne applies staccato marks of paint similar to those used in Turning Road.


text: Tracking primary radiation-induced processes in matter requires ultrafast sources and high precision timing. While compact laser-driven ion accelerators are seeding the development of novel high instantaneous flux applications, combining the ultrashort ion and laser pulse durations with their inherent synchronicity to trace the real-time evolution of initial damage events has yet to be realized. Here we report on the absolute measurement of proton bursts as short as 3.5±0.7 ps from laser solid target interactions for this purpose. Our results verify that laser-driven ion acceleration can deliver interaction times over a factor of hundred shorter than those of state-of-the-art accelerators optimized for high instantaneous flux. Furthermore, these observations draw ion interaction physics into the field of ultrafast science, opening the opportunity for quantitative comparison with both numerical modelling and the adjacent fields of ultrafast electron and photon interactions in matter.

Every year, the earth receives from the sun 10,000 times more energy than we use. The current energy crisis and our dependence on fossil fuels therefore represent a failure of ingenuity rather than an intractable situation.
Many now believe that Concentrated Solar Power is one of the most promising forms of renewable energy in areas of high solar intensity. The Odeillo CSP scheme uses an array of solar-tracking mirrors to reflect the sun onto the parabolic mirror which then focuses the light onto a point that can reach 3600 degrees centigrade.
The primary purpose of the building was to research high temperature alloys but the heat can also be used to create steam and drive a turbine to generate electricity. While the architecture of the Odeillo solar furnace is rather unrefined, the project powerfully demonstrates the possibility of a transition to a solar economy.

We apply Rice's multidimensional formulas, in a mathematically rigorous
way, to several problems which appear in random sea modeling. As a first example, the probability
density function of the velocity of the specular points is obtained in one or two dimensions as well
as the expectation of the number of specular points in two dimensions. We also consider, based on a
multidimensional Rice formula, a curvilinear integral with respect to the level curve. It follows that its
expected value allows defining the Palm distribution of the angle of the normal of the curve that defines
the waves crest. Finally, we give a new proof of a general multidimensional Rice formula, valid for all
levels, for a stationary and smooth enough random fields.

Saint Hesychius the Silent of Mt. Horeb, lived during the sixth century at one of the monasteries on Mt. Horeb, and at first he was not a very fervent monk. Hesychius died after a serious illness, but through a wondrous act of Divine Providence, he came back to life an hour later. After this, the saint secluded himself in his cell as a recluse, and for twelve years he dwelt in complete solitude. He would not converse with any of the brethren, but devoted himself to the singing of Psalms and penitential weeping. Before his death, Blessed Hesychius said to the assembled monks: "Forgive me, brethren. He who acquires the remembrance of death cannot sin."
The holy hesychasts (those who keep silence) are the spiritual descendants of St Hesychius. These ascetics devote themselves to contemplating God, and to unceasing prayer of the heart.

In the future, your smartphone won't auto-correct your errors. It will correct them before they're even made.
It will know you really meant to hit the "K" key on your screen when you hit the "L" key. Maybe even one day, there won't be a traditional keyboard at all, if some entrepreneurs have their way.
While Google Inc. and Apple Inc. go after ways to make it easier to talk to your phone, a new fleet of scientists, startups and app developers are still attacking the problem of typing and input—perfecting how to understand what you want to type rather than what you literally typed.
- PREDICTIVE: Using natural language processing, this technology takes cues from your typing history, Web presence and other elements to determine what you're trying to type and automatically predict words.
- GESTURE: Rather than using a traditional keyboard, this technology relies on nontypical gestures like gliding your finger or tapping regions of the screen, and determines what you're typing using what it knows about your habits.
- VOICE: Forget the keyboard —voice input uses technology to automatically (though sometimes clumsily) translate what you are saying into text and use that as your input, like Apple's Siri technology
Google lets developers build heavily customized keyboards for smartphones running its Android mobile operating system. That has opened the floodgates for startups like SwiftKey, which builds a predictive Android keyboard that tries to anticipate what a user is trying to type, and Snapkeys, a futuristic-style keyboard that consists of only four keys, to remake the keyboard on Android smartphones.
Gesture-based typing and predictive typing has been around for some time—SwiftKey was founded in 2008, for example. But the technology behind it has become so sophisticated that it is now becoming a selling point as smartphone makers take on Apple's iPhone.
Case in point, Samsung Electronics Co. will include SwiftKey's predictive technology in the new Samsung Galaxy S 4, which will be unveiled at an event in New York on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter.
"In the Android space where you have a lot of competition, a little thing like [predictive typing] can make a huge difference," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group.
This is more than a scientific question—it is a business one, too. Smartphone manufacturers want to reduce the time, or "friction" needed to input data, as a way of freeing up users to do more browsing, buying, and watching.
Mr. Enderle said the use of the standard Qwerty keyboard on the iPhone made such an approach the industry standard. But that won't last long, he said.
New-wave keyboards work to "infer" what the user is trying to type. They use evidence collected about the user, like typing history on social networks, where they are on the Web, or what terms are trending on the Web to determine what word to select next.
SwiftKey takes that one step further. "The way we do this is essentially by modeling the surface of the keyboard as a series of probability distributions," said Ben Medlock, chief technology officer at TouchType Ltd., the U.K. company behind SwiftKey. In other words, it knows where on a screen you are most likely to tap when pressing a certain key. Eventually, it will recognize that you mean to hit a "W," not a "Q."
SwiftKey is consistently among the top paid applications in the Android ecosystem and has been downloaded more than 15 million times. SwiftKey also licenses its technology to serve as the back-end processing for keyboards, such as the new BlackBerry Z10.
Natural language processing—the technology that powers SwiftKey—goes beyond just typing and has applications in other areas, like search. Facebook Inc.'s new search engine Graph Search uses it to understand what, exactly, people are seeking. Facebook also employs linguists that are constantly checking what users are searching for, and making sure Graph Search can account for those results.
"If you think about it, a keyword approach is going to miss a lot of subtleties—if you just type in "photos, Katherine," you might mean photos of Katherine, photos by Katherine, or photos Katherine is tagged in," said Amy Campbell, a linguist at Facebook. "There are a lot of ways to type that both in keywords and language, and it is important for us to deliver results that match their intent."
Snapkeys, an Israeli-based startup, takes things further by wiping out the traditional keyboard altogether. The experience is more akin to texting on an older cellphone, in which multiple letters were assigned to a single key.
Instead, the keyboard consists of four "keys" that represent three commonly-used letters each, and doesn't show letters that aren't often used. The idea is that small screens on devices like smartphones were never meant to have a full keyboard, so users should be able to see more of the screen when typing and interacting.
"Today our interaction on small devices are limited to a keyboard and a text box—nothing else beyond that," said Benjamin Ghassabian, CEO and founder of SnapKeys Ltd. "When you are interacting with someone, you don't see anything else—no images, no videos, no games, nothing is there. We are going to change that."
Only letters that are used more than 80% of the time are shown, and the rest of the keys are hidden to keep the user experience crisp, Mr. Ghassabian said. (The Z key is the least-frequently used, followed closely by the X key.) He says the system is up to three times faster than a traditional keyboard.
Google also has its own stylized predictive keyboard, which it introduced in a recent version of Android, called Gesture Typing. Users glide their finger over letters to build words, and the keyboard can anticipate what's next.
It still remains to be seen whether Apple will respond to the demand for next-generation keyboards. Unlike Google, it hasn't opened up its typing interface for experimentation from outside programmers. "We don't believe this would be the best customer experience," said Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris.
Added Dr. Medlock: "I think at the time, even the guys at Google didn't realize what an advantage it was going to be to have this differentiable input experience. Maybe if Apple could go back, given what we know now, they would do it differently."—Yun-Hee Kim contributed to this article.

Diseases & Treating Sick Freshwater Angelfish
Even the most experienced angelfish breeders have to deal with
angelfish diseases. Sometimes keeping the water at optimal conditions
and doing regular fish
tank maintenance isn't enough to prevent an angelfish from
getting sick. Regular maintenance is however a good way to reduce
the chance of any fish getting sick. Preventing diseases is
always better than trying to cure diseases. The common freshwater
angelfish diseases can be divided into 2 categories, bacterial
and parasitic diseases.
Common Bacterial Diseases:
Cotton Wool Disease - Usually caused by low temperature,
poor water quality or crowding. It can be seen as an expanding
translucent layer on the skin of the fish that eats away at
the skin. The edges often are bloody. The fish should be discarded
if the disease is in advanced stages. If the disease is in its
early stages it can be treated by using either 4 teaspoons marine
salt to a gallon of aquarium water and potassium chromate or
Dropsy, Popeye, Bleeding or Red Streaks on Skin - These
are signs of an internal bacterial infection related to Vibrios.
At the early stages of this infection the fish can be treated
with a few commercial medications like Maracyn-Two or Erythromycin.
Fish T.B. - This disease usually shows up as loss of
color and swelling of the body. The fish may also have blood
streaks and blood spots anywhere on the body. This infection
is usually a result of poor water quality which lowers the immune
system of the angelfish. There are no treatments for this infectious
bacterial disease and the infected fish should be removed at
first signs of it to prevent spreading to tank mates.
Common Parasitic Diseases:
Hexamita - Angelfish can pick up this infection when
under stress from poor water conditions, shipping or other diseases.
The infected fish will stop eating, hide and act listless. It
will also have whitish colored feces. The best treatments for
Hexamita are drugs with metronidazole.
Ich or White Spot Disease - Chilling and stress are
common causes of outbreaks of white spot disease or Ich. The
disease appears as tiny white spots on the skin of the host
fish. The angelfish may also rub against tank wall and decorations.
There are several commercial remedies available to treat Ich.
Look for ones that contain formalin, malachite green or copper
Velvet Disease - It can be hard to detect on the infected
fish but it appears as a dusty golden film on the skin and eyes
of the angelfish. The infected fish may also rub against the
walls and decorations in the tank. Copper sulfate or formalin
are both effective treatments for velvet disease.


About the event
Roborikishi is an annually held national-level event conducted by The Department of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics Club @ NIE. In this, students from different colleges participate and compete with each other in different events. This event mainly focuses on creating awareness about robotics and automation in students of all age groups irrespective of their discipline. As a part of the event, Robo-Expo would be organized where various Robotics-related projects build by us are exhibited. We have exciting competitions like the fastest line follower, maze solver, Robo war, Robo race. Students from all over the country build their bots to compete with each other. The goal is to test the creativity, programming, and designing skills of the contestants.
The members of the Robotics club @ NIE exhibit various projects which are based on Arduino and Raspberry Pi. The expo aims to demonstrate practical applications of robotics and automation in day to day life.
The challenge is to drive through the track while following a black line against a white background and tackling the surprise challenges on the arena. The quickest and the most intelligent robot will be declared as the winner.
A robot is placed in the far corner of a maze consisting of square segments, of 30*30. Junctions are similar to standard mazes which include dead ends, T-intersections, right and left-hand turns, etc. In the dead center of the maze, is an open area, 2segments wide and 2segments long. This central area is positioned in such a way that only left-turn or only right-turn robots can never reach it. The goal is to reach the center of the maze in the fastest time possible, across several attempts.
 - Track and Arena: The robots are tested for elimination in the preliminary rounds, so only the best robots survive on the arena. To do this various tracks and hurdles have been set up for the robots to pass.
 - Flex your Muscles: The first is the weight push test, where the bots have to push weights to move on in the event.
 - Track: Then there is a track event, where the robots have to pass through hurdles on its way. There will be hurdles like sand, stones, inclined, declined surfaces, and other surprise elements. The points in this round are allotted based on the time taken to clear the event. The track will have curves too, to check the swiftness of the robot. There will be stages in the track where the robots can skip a hurdle, but a penalty will be considered for skipping a hurdle.
 - Bonus rounds: The robots then get an opportunity to demonstrate their weapons, these also add to the points allotted to the robot.
 - Arena: Arena consists of a square surface made up of wood. The arena is covered by barricades to prevent parts of the robot flying out of the arena. The time allotted for a battle is 3 minutes. The robot has to either immobilize the opponent or throw it out of the arena. The robot to win the battle is allowed to continue in the event, the opponent is knocked out. The robot to reach the final battle and win it will grab the title of the championship.
 The target is to design a wired or wireless manually controlled robot that should be able to travel on land, water(multiple terrains). The robot that traverses all the hurdles and completes the track in a minimum amount of time will be declared as the "DEATH RACE CHAMPION".

FPGAs have already changed the cost/reliability paradigm for embedded systems in high-reliability applications, thanks to advances in hardness and power reduction. But on many embedded applications for high-reliability markets, designers depend on a number of peripheral analog components such as analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters to talk to the real world. Other system components such as phase-locked loops (PLLs) and DC/DC converters are usually required to complete a system design. These peripherals impact overall cost, size and reliability. Peripheral analog parts can also be challenging to work with and to source for radiation environments, as an example.
To further leverage the power of FPGAs, military-and-aerospace engineers are actively looking for ways to integrate many of these analog functions onto the FPGA. Synthesizable, digital IP cores that replace some analog functions now exist, allowing mil/aero designers to implement ADC, DAC, DC/DC controller and clock-multiplier functions in fully digital processes such as FPGAs. Not only does this new ability leverage the advantages of FPGAs, it also helps mitigate many challenges of using analog components in high-reliability applications.Overcoming high-reliability design challenges
The engineering challenges of designing for military or high-reliability applications such as aerospace are numerous. Power and weight are usually under strict budgets because they can affect operating costs and insertion costs exponentially. Physical shock safeguards, force survival and protection from single-event upsets (SEUs) and latchup often mean that parts are larger, heavier and more power hungry than commercial devices. For instance, a commercial 12-bit, 10-MHz bandwidth ADC measures approximately.71 by.42 inches and consumes 280 milliwatts. The equivalent radiation-hardened part is.81 by.72 inches and consumes 335 mW. That's almost double the size at 20 percent more power.
A wide temperature range is another issue. Typically, temperatures of -40°C to +80°C are expected for many military embedded applications here on Earth. Temperature takes on another complexion in space. In satellite electronics design, for instance, the normal operating junction temperature might be -55°C to +125°C. Monitoring this onboard temperature is key to effective system maintenance, but installing a rad-hard ADC part to provide this function can add up to one square inch of board and require additional components and testing.
When a high-reliability design makes use of peripherals such as ADCs, DACs, DC/DC converters or PLLs, each one of those components represents a possible point of failure. Each must be qualified and tested, and each is most likely not optimally designed for the specific need. There is also always a risk that the manufacturer will discontinue the part, forcing requalification of the entire system.
These challenges to working with analog components in high-reliability environments can evaporate by using the FPGA for a unified, all-digital approach. Let's take a look at this new paradigm in military/aerospace design.

The highly sensitive [introverted] tend to be philosophical or spiritual in their orientation, rather than materialistic or hedonistic. They dislike small talk. They often describe themselves as creative or intuitive. They dream vividly, and can often recall their dreams the next day. They love music, nature, art, physical beauty. They feel exceptionally strong emotions — sometimes acute bouts of joy, but also sorrow, melancholy, and fear. Highly sensitive people also process information about their environments — both physical and emotional — unusually deeply. They tend to notice subtleties that others miss — another person's shift in mood, say, or a lightbulb burning a touch too brightly.

Looks & personality
These are two board game activities to talk about physical appearance and personality. They can be used together or separately, and are a great way to help students practise speaking and develop fluency, as well as prepare for FCE /CAE and CPE speaking exams.
Also I find these games extremely useful since most of us are now teaching online. You simply display a board game on the screen and that's a speaking activity sorted for you 😉 Do not forget to feed students new vocabulary throughout the activity and obviously draw their attention to any mistakes they might be making. You could always prepare a thematic vocabulary list and send it to the students before the class or even ask them to research the topic themselves and then teach others some new words they have learnt.
As always encourage students to ask each other questions and comment on each other's responses. Do not let it be a monologue. I often tell students that if I asked them the same questions outside the classroom, the conversation would flow much more naturally so aim towards that and have fun.
Level: B2+
 1. To practise speaking about physical appearance and personality.
 1. Put students in pairs or small groups and give them a copy of one of the board games or display it on the screen for everyone to see.
 2. The teacher throws the dice twice – the first throw indicates which column they should use, and the second throw indicates which row, to obtain the question.
 3. The player(s) must then answer the question in as much detail as possible. Encourage students to ask additional questions and ask for clarification and further explanation. As I said in the introduction, do not let it be a monologue but a starting point for a great conversation.
 4. Switch to the second board game when/if appropriate.
 5. At the end, ask students to give you three new things they have learnt about their classmates.

How to avoid rewriting your VMware applications in the cloud (APAC)
Watch On Demand
There is a fundamental shift in today's data centre strategy. While customers continue to take a "cloud first" approach to new application development, they are now expanding that approach to "cloud smart" and considering which existing applications should be retired, preserved on-premises, or moved to the cloud. Each decision requires an understanding of the application, but moving applications to the cloud, especially those that are VMware-based, presents another layer of obstacles that administrators must address and reconcile to ensure success.
Hear from iland's Sam Woodcock, Senior Director, Cloud Strategy and Brian Knudtson, Director of Cloud Intelligence, to understand the various strategies that can be used to move VMware-based applications to the cloud, as well as those options that may present short and long-term challenges.
Watch this webinar to:
- Hear why "cloud smart" is replacing "cloud first" and why it matters to your organisation
- Understand the various strategies, including the 5 R's (rehosting, replatforming, refactoring, rewriting, replacing), that customers employ to run existing VMware-based applications in the cloud
- Learn why iland's VMware Native public and hosted private cloud can quickly deliver the benefits of cloud, without the cost, effort and complexity associated with hyperscale cloud platforms
