Haiphong, and Phap Van - Cau Gie being six-lane. The only elevated expressway in Vietnam is Mai Dich - Thanh Tri Bridge (also known as the third beltway in Hanoi). The cost of building Vietnam's highways is one of the most expensive in the world, with an average cost of $12 million per kilometer. Compared with China, where there are similarities, their highway costs only $5 million per kilometer, where in the US and European countries, costs $3–4 million per kilometer.[108]
According to Eurostat:
Other characteristics of motorways include:
Anyway, it is usually[18] considered that:
 - Motorways serve exclusively motorised traffic.
 - Motorways have separate carriageways for the two directions of traffic.
 - Traffic entrance and exit is performed at interchanges only.
 - Motorways are especially sign-posted
European motorways provide reduced accident risks: 50% to 90% lower compared to standard roads, when new motorways only reduce injuries by 7%.[18]
Some of the things which are considered as providing safety in the European motorways are central medians, grade separated interchanges, and access restrictions.[18]
 - improper use of emergency lane,
 - cross-median head-on accidents,
 - wrong direction accidents.[18]

The Austrian autobahns (German: Autobahnen) are controlled-access highways in Austria. They are officially called Bundesstraßen A (Bundesautobahnen) under the authority of the Federal Government according to the Austrian Federal Road Act (Bundesstraßengesetz),[114] not to be confused with the former Bundesstraßen highways maintained by the Austrian states since 2002.

Motorways in Belgium
Belgium today has the longest total motorway length per area unit of any country in the world.[citation needed] Most motorway systems in Belgium have at least three lanes in each direction. Nearly all motorways have overhead lighting including those in rural areas. The dense population of Belgium and the still unfinished state of some motorways, such as the ring roads around Brussels and Antwerp cause major traffic congestion on motorways. On an average Monday morning in 2012, there was a total of 356 km (221 mi)[116] of traffic jams and the longest traffic jam of the year was 1,258 km (782 mi),[117] purely on the motorways.

Bulgarian motorway network
Legislation in Bulgaria defines two types of highways: motorways (Aвтомагистрала, Avtomagistrala) and expressways (Скоростен път, Skorosten pat). The main differences are that motorways have emergency lanes and the maximum allowed speed limit is 140 km/h (87 mph), while expressways do not have emergency lanes and the speed limit is 120 km/h (75 mph). As of June 2018, 777 km (483 mi) of motorways are in service, with another 62 km (39 mi) under various stages of construction. More than 590 km (370 mi) are planned. Also, several expressways are planned.
Sign used denote the start of an Autoroute
The primary high-speed motorways in Croatia are called autoceste (singular: autocesta; Croatian pronunciation: [ˈaʊtotsesta]), and they are defined as roads with at least three lanes in each direction (including hard shoulder) and a speed limit of not less than 80 km/h (50 mph). The typical speed limit is 130 km/h (81 mph). As of 2017, there are 1,313 km (816 mi) of motorways in Croatia. There is also a category known as brza cesta, meaning "expressway". These roads have a speed limit up to 110 km/h (68 mph) and are not legally required to be grade-separated, but nearly all are.

The Czech Republic has currently (2020) 1,317 km (818 mi) of motorways (dálnice) whose speed limit is 130 km/h (81 mph) (or 80 km/h (50 mph) within a town). The total length should be 2,000 km (1,200 mi) around 2030. The number of a motorway (in red) copies the number of the national route (in blue) which has been replaced by the motorway. There are also roads for motorcars (silnice pro motorová vozidla). Those common roads are not subject to a fee (in form of vignette) for vehicles with total weight up to 3.5 t (3.4 long tons; 3.9 short tons) and their speed limit is 110 km/h (68 mph), partially up to 130 km/h (81 mph).

Motorways in Finland
Finland road sign F29-1.svg
Finland has 863 km (536 mi) of motorway, which is only a small proportion of the whole highway network. More than half of the length of the motorway network consists of six radial motorways originating in Helsinki, to Kirkkonummi (Länsiväylä), Turku (Vt1/E18), Tampere (Vt3/E12), Tuusula, Heinola (Vt4/E75) and Vaalimaa (Vt7/E18). These roads have a total length of 653 km (406 mi). The other motorways are rather short sections close to the biggest cities, often designed to be bypasses. The motorway section on national roads 4 and 29, between Simo and Tornio, is said to be the northernmost motorway in the world.

A Reading from Homer
Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, English (born Netherlands), 1836 - 1912
Oil on canvas
E1924-4-1The George W. Elkins Collection, 1924
Here, a young poet crowned with a laurel wreath reads from Homer to an audience dressed for a festival. The setting is probably Greece toward the end of the seventh century BCE. The Greek letters in the upper right indicate that the place is dedicated to the poet.
Through attention to details such as architecture and dress, Alma-Tadema evokes scenes of everyday life in ancient Greece and Rome. However, his pictures are rarely entirely archaeologically accurate. For example, while he accurately rendered the ancient musical instrument on the left, a cithara, he also included a type of rose that did not exist before the nineteenth century.

Creating workflows with UI Component Fields - Platform - BlueCat Gateway - 20.1.1
Gateway Administration Guide
BlueCat Gateway
Create a custom workflow using UI Component Fields. You will modify files in the /workflows/ directory generated when creating a new workflow from the BlueCat Gateway user interface.
 1. Create a workflow. This can be performed manually or by using the Create Workflow administrative workflow.
 2. In , add the needed UI Component fields.
 Note: By default, all UI Component Fields are disabled upon loading a workflow. Fields will become enabled as you progress through the form. After clicking SUBMIT, if you receive an error from the server all fields remain enabled. You can customize this using the is_disabled_on_start and is_disabled_on_error parameters.
 3. Modify the workflow files as needed in the /workflows/ directory:
 - —you need to specify the endpoint that will be called when clicking Submit. By default, when using 'Create Workflow' the Form Submit function name will be in the format __form and called inside HTML using action=url_for ().
 - .js—contains any of the customizations needed in a workflow. For an example refer to the 'Update Alias Record' workflow.
 - Text/en.txt—Reserved for future use with UI Component Fields, otherwise it can be used as custom workflow internationalization.
 - —contains a GenericFormTemplate class where you can specify UI Component Fields and their interactions. Use the PlainHtml Component field if you desire to add static HTML in between components. For example, PlainHTML('').
 4. Set the and permissions for each UI Component Field. If you want to change a default label, set the label and required parameters. Set coerce to force a data type of a field. For example, .
 If necessary, customize the server-side endpoint by providing the server_side_method parameter. Use inputs to map server endpoint form parameters passed to server-side endpoints with client HTML elements. If none are provided all elements in the DOM will be submitted.

Ever wanted to make a video tribute? It's pretty much a video dedicated to something you love - maybe your favorite team, singer, or video game character. Here is how you can make yours excellent.
 1. Make a Tribute Video Step 1.jpg
 Choose a topic. If you are reading this, chances are you already know what you want to make the tribute about. You should be somewhat passionate about your tribute-subject, otherwise it's not really much of a tribute.
 2. Make a Tribute Video Step 2.jpg
 Get pictures. You can simply use Google images or find some images you already have. Pick inspiring or dramatic photos. If you pick photos that cast your subject in a bad light, again, then it's not much of a tribute.
 3. Make a Tribute Video Step 3.jpg
 Import photos into your movie making program (such as Windows Movie Maker). Arrange them in an order you think would be appealing.
 4. Make a Tribute Video Step 4.jpg
 Add music. This is one of the most important parts. The music may be what determines whether your audience watches or decides to look at something else. A silent tribute is the worst you could do, because then it's just like staring at still pictures which lacks emotion. Pick a song that is a personal favorite, or one that fits the subject of the tribute in a certain way.
 5. Make a Tribute Video Step 5.jpg
 Upload your video to YouTube or another video sharing site. Name it something like "[Insert Name here] Tribute" or "A Tribute to [Insert Name here]". "Ode to" is also occasionally used.

Dalia Dūdėnaitė and Elena Narbutaitė. Sleeper
2011.XI.16 - 2012.I.29
An exhibition by Dalia Dūdėnaitė and Elena Narbutaitė, previously shown at Peep-Hole in Milan, Italy in spring 2011
"For instance, it would have been more difficult to notice the gas stations without making connections between more cities and more places in different parts of the world. Vilnius is a memory and a model for this exhibition, due to its specific urban layout it sometimes illustrates the meanings of the word "sleeper" accurately – a sleeper is a phenomenon that exists and has an effect on its environment but is not yet noticed or perceived.
Imagine a city which has already been built – the shops, the hairdressers' parlours, the schools are all working – but it is not yet conscious of its own operation, it does not yet know what it creates or how things circulate. It becomes open – it does not reflect itself, but allows the environment to do so, and thus expands far beyond its own limits. A city like this can turn up in front of you in a different place, at a different time."
Sleeper: an exhibition as a house observed by an animal from a shadow of a forest, cars passing by
So it all began in the streets of Vilnius, a city with big gasoline stations where the periphery is all over the centre. You walk a few steps and the city becomes an open field, a few more and it turns into a village. If it was winter we'd talk inside a car, and in the summer we'd open the doors and you could sometimes even hear the fields. This situation of rapidly changing distances would often remain unnoticed, but would penetrate the mind anyways. Was it the memories and the speed of driving that created those fast connections?
The cities with big gasoline stations can suddenly cut up the urban boundaries, like an animal that observes people and like people who sometimes notice it. Such acts of observing are on display at the exhibition Sleeper.
The exhibition features the artworks by Dalia Dūdėnaitė and Elena Narbutaitė that have not yet been shown in Vilnius, and a mobile created together with paper engineer and designer Mike Malkovas, currently based in Paris, who also contributed to the publication (Sleeper. Published by the CAC, Vilnius with Mousse Publishing and Peep-Hole, Milan).
Admission is free.
Vilnius exhibition was curated by Virginija Januškevičiūtė.
Sleeper is part of the project Survival Kit realised with the support of the programme "Culture 2007–2013" of the European Union.

Java Runtime Environment is a portable application, that allows you to perform calculus operations in a very simple and intuitive way. The app provides you with three basic operations: addition, subtraction and multiplication. Besides that, it gives you complete access to all the calculus formulas available for you to use. Advantages of a portable app Before the application can be of any use to you, Java Runtime Environment needs to be installed. This check needs to be performed on other computers if you plan on carrying JEME around on a thumb drive, since it doesn't require installation to work, and thus not affecting the stability of the computer you use it on. The main window shows up in a pretty large screen, but it can be minimized once you're inside the area of interest. There are two types of tools at your disposal. One of them is a simple calculator fitted with a results field, necessary numerical values, as well as some basic and advanced operations. Covers math, physics, and chemistry On the other hand, you can dive into more details and visit the section where supposedly equations are made easy. Fortunately, the area deserves its name, both because of the little amount of effort required on your behalf, and the list of equations which perfectly explains how the result is delivered. Equations include different formulas for physics, geometry, algebra, and chemistry. Whereas the latter items only converts temperature, all others are fitted with various categories and calculators for Newtonian gravity, displacement, wavelength, angular momentum and a lot more for physics, while math operations take you through area, volume, perimeter, Heron and Pythagoras' formulas, exponents, square root, interest, and more. In conclusion On an ending note, JEME offers an impressive variety of calculators, and even though they seem a little chaotic in terms of structural arrangement, you're sure to find the means to find out the results you need for various scientific areas.

JEME is a free program that simplifies complex scientific calculation operations, for example the calculation of motion, velocity, acceleration, and force. With it you can find the math formula necessary for various scientific studies, and quickly find the results on a PC. The platform The principle application of JEME is that it uses a bar-code scanner to record the data you enter and calculate the output result. You can begin by entering the numerical values of your needs, and JEME will calculate their result for you. The program is simple and easy to use. You can use it without the need of installation, but JEME requires Java 7 or an earlier version of the program. Using JEME JEME will automatically recognize the type of equation you want to solve. You can add several types of equations to a single worksheet for analysis. You can also change the units of measurement of the result. The calculation is simple and fast, and there is a result field for saving the result of the equation. Operations with JEME are available in two tabbed windows. One shows the different types of equation, and the other one shows the operations. You can find these tools at the bottom of the main window, or in a menu below the screen. There are simple numerical input tools, as well as an advanced, numerically calculated equation. The main window offers a preview of the main tab. You can also find a bonus set of tools underneath the preview. In the bonus set of tools you can find equation types, setting up your preferred result for calculation, and calculations for which you do not need to type numerical values. In the bottom of the main window you can find the equation tools. You will find four different categories under the equations section, such as: "Type of equation", "Calculator", "Equation" and "Equation with result". By clicking on the first tab you can input your variables in a form labeled "Input data", which will allow you to create equation for the most common equations. It also offers to set up the calculator parameters and operations you prefer. You can set the format for type and for the units of measurement. You can choose between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Lambs fall victim to severe spring weather
THOUSANDS of new-born lambs have been killed by severe winds and rain that have swept through parts of Britain, writes Nicholas Schoon.
Sheep farmers had been expecting fewer lambs this season because the proportion of pregnant ewes carrying twins and triplets rather than singletons was sharply down. This dearth of multiple births is put down to particularly cold, wet weather at tupping time last autumn when the rams were brought in to mate.
The ewes may have been in poor condition at the time of conception last year or soon afterwards. Now, in the spring, their lambs are being exposed to equally vicious weather conditions.
Each year 23 million lambs are born in Britain, starting in January in the southern lowlands and ending as late as May in more northerly uplands.
Farmers estimate that they lose up to 5 per cent of lambs at birth or soon afterwards, but this year the National Farmers' Union in south-west England is making an estimate of 8 per cent.
John Thomas, a Welsh NFU official, said: 'It has been a particularly bad season - the kind that happens only 1 year in every 10 with problem after problem. A wet, cold winter has produced poor spring grass. Recently we've had torrential rain, with the newborn lambs kept outside being soaked through. They're dying from pneumonia and related diseases.'
Peter Dowling, a Cumbrian farmer with 900 upland ewes, said: 'It's the wet and cold that does for them more than anything else. A dry back and a warm sun is what they need.'
Lambing has greatly altered in the past 20 years, with scanning of embryos in the womb now becoming routine and more and more ewes giving birth in warm, dry shelters - sometimes temporarily erected in the fields and hills. But, sooner or later, the lambs and their mothers have to be put outside to make room for other ewes about to give birth.

When the coaxial cable is in the near field of a center fed, 1/2 wavelength dipole and it does not run perpendicular to the antenna, it is subjected to imbalanced near field currents. The coupling effect will be cos $\theta$. The result is that the exterior braid of the coax may carry common mode current. OCF and end fed antennas also promote common mode current due to their inherent imbalance. Running the coax parallel to the dipole should be avoided.
The significance of the common mode current is dependent upon factors such as coax length, the grounding of the coax, common mode chokes, the frequency of operation, imbalance of the antenna, etc. Antenna modeling programs can be used to estimate the subseptibility of a particular configuration.
The effects of common mode currents can include RF shocks in the shack, interference with home electronics, coupling of nearby RFI into the antenna, alteration of antenna resonance/SWR and an alteration of the antenna pattern and gain.
A common mode choke at the feed point of the dipole and another one at the shack entrance or at least out of the near field of the antenna can be deployed to mitigate the effects. Ferrite based common mode chokes or 1:1 current baluns tend to be the best multiband performers. Some report success by burying the coax.
It is also helpful to avoid odd multiples of 1/4 wavelength coax as this promotes the formation of common mode currents. Note that the coax velocity factor does not come into play since this current is on the exterior of the braid. Instead, use a 0.95 to 0.97 velocity factor to account for the outer coaxial jacket.


Organic Oatmeal Shampoos for Dogs
Help soothe his skin in the bath with the right product.
Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
It's important to choose the right shampoo to keep your dog's skin healthy and clean, and to keep his coat shiny. For dogs with sensitive or irritated skin, or dogs who suffer from allergies, an organic oatmeal shampoo may be just right to keep your dog clean and soothe his skin.
Organic oatmeal shampoos make a dog's coat soft and shiny. What's more, dogs with irritated, sensitive skin are at risk for developing infections due to an overgrowth of either yeast or bacteria, and these shampoos can soothe the irritated skin that is prone to those infections. Further, organic oatmeal shampoos are mild, which is perfect for dogs with skin allergies. If a dog's skin is already irritated, organic oatmeal shampoos are calming and provide anti-itch and anti-inflammatory benefits.
What to Look for
The first thing to look for when selecting an organic oatmeal shampoo for your dog is a seal that indicates the product is, in fact, organic. Terms like "all-natural" or "natural ingredients" do not mean the same thing as organic, so don't rely on those claims. Look for products that have additional healthy ingredients like vitamins A and E or aloe. Also, try to choose a product with a short ingredient list: that means fewer additives to potentially irritate your dog's skin.
What to Avoid
Not all organic oatmeal shampoos deliver the same benefits. Read labels carefully. When shopping for a shampoo, skip products that include perfumes or dyes. These ingredients can cause skin irritation, negating the beneficial effects of the oatmeal. Further, look for products that are free of synthetic ingredients. Most organic products do not contain synthetics; however, check the product label to ensure that is the case. Avoid products with long chemical names in the ingredient list.
Not all dogs will respond the same way to the same products. If you have a dog with sensitive or irritated skin, you may have to try several organic oatmeal shampoos before you find the one with the right combination of ingredients for your dog. If you're suspect your dog's sensitivity may be caused by an infection or an overgrowth of yeast, consult your veterinarian before using an organic oatmeal shampoo or any other products.

In a truly random generator, these bits are random, while in pseudorandom generators this randomness can be violated. For example, a drawback of linear congruential generators is that lower bits are less random than higher bits (for example, see [Knuth81]). For this reason, exercise care when using this function.

|European Food Safety Authority|
|Motto||Committed to ensuring that Europe's food is safe|
|Formation||January 2002 (established)|
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is an agency of the European Union that provides independent scientific advice and communication on existing and emerging risks associated with the food chain, created by European Regulation 178/2002.
The Authority's work covers all matters with a direct or indirect impact on food and feed safety, including animal health and welfare, plant protection and plant health and nutrition.
EFSA supports the European Commission, European Parliament and EU member states in taking effective and timely risk management decisions that ensure the protection of the health of the European consumers and the safety of the food and feed chain.
The Authority communicates to the public in an open and transparent way on all matters within its remit.
EFSA is composed of four bodies:
The Management Board sets the budget, approves the annual work programme, and is responsible for ensuring that EFSA co-operates successfully with partner organisations across the EU and beyond. The Executive Director is the legal representative of the Authority, and is responsible for operational matters, staffing issues and drawing up the annual programme in consultation with the European Commission, European Parliament and EU Member States.
The Executive Director is assisted by an Advisory Forum composed of representatives of national bodies responsible for risk assessment in the Member States, with observers from Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and the European Commission.
EFSA's scientific opinions and advice are provided by the Scientific Committee (SC) and Scientific Panels, each within their own sphere of competence. EFSA's Scientific Committee and Panels are composed of highly qualified experts in scientific risk assessment.
Funding EFSA activities
EFSA is an independent European agency funded by the EU budget that operates separately from the European Commission, European Parliament and EU Member States. Its budget for 2008 was € 65.9 million.
EFSA has been criticised for their alleged overregulation, and promotion of conflict of interest. For example, Corporate Europe Observatory and Earth Open Source have documented cases where EFSA has used industry scientists and information in risk assessments used by EU institutions and national governments, accusing the agency of basing their decisions on industry data rather than independent science. They also claim that many EFSA panel members have ties with biotech, food, or pesticide companies, paving the way for blatant conflicts of interest.

A Geometric B-Spline Over the Triangular Domain
MetadataShow full item record
For modelling curves, B-splines are among the most versatile control schemes. However, scaling this technique to surface patches has proven to be a non-trivial endeavor. While a suitable scheme exists for rectangular patches in the form of tensor product B-splines, techniques involving the triangular domain are much less spectacular. The current cutting edge in triangular B-splines is the DMS-spline. While the resulting surfaces possess high degrees of continuity, the control scheme is awkward and the evaluation is computationally expensive. A more fundamental problem is the construction bears little resemblance to the construction used for the B-Spline. This deficiency leads to the central idea of the thesis; what happens if the simple blending functions found at the heart of the B-Spline construction are used over higher dimension domains? In this thesis I develop a geometric generalization of B-Spline curves over the triangular domain. This construction mimics the control point blending that occurs with uniform B-Splines. The construction preserves the simple control scheme and evaluation of B-Splines, without the immense computational requirements of DMS-splines. The result is a new patch control scheme, the G-Patch, possessing C0 continuity between adjacent patches.

TheDraw is a text editor for MS DOS to create ANSI and animations as well as ASCII art. The editor is especially useful to create or modify files in ANSI format and text documents, which use the graphical characters of the IBM ASCII code pages, because they are not supported by Microsoft Windows anymore. The first version of the editor was developed in 1986 by Ian E. Davis of TheSoft Programming Services. The last public version of the editor was version 4.63, which was released in October 1993.
TheDraw was one of the first ANSI editors that supported ANSIs longer than 25 rows. The limit in the latest available version is still 100 rows. Other editors, such as ACiDDraw are able to support ANSIs larger than 100 lines for a single ANSI/ASCII (ACiDDraw supports 1,000 lines). The animation mode is limited to 50 lines (rows). The column width can be extended from the standard 80 characters to 160, but this also reduces the row limit down to 50.
Compatibility with Microsoft Windows
The program runs stably in a DOS Window on Windows XP and allows the user to maintain mouse control. Used with Windows Vista however, TheDraw performs with less predictable results. It works with DOSBox.
Significant features
Some of the features of the editor include:
- Mouse support to select blocks of text within the editor (even under Windows in window and full-screen mode)
- For the selected area/block exist a number of unique functions
- Fill function to change the color of a whole section of the text
- Copy/Move and Paste function to copy/move entire blocks of text within the document.
- Erase function that clears the selected area of any characters without the surrounding characters changing position.
- Replace function to replace the content of the selected area with the content of the TheDraw "clipboard".
- Load/Save function to save only the selected area or load an ANSI/ASCII from the hard disk into the selected area (replace).
- Font manager to create/modify and organize ASCII and ANSI fonts to be used within the editor
- Additional file formats in addition to ANSI (.ANS) and text (.ASC).
- The proprietary PCBoard (.PCB) and Wildcat! BBS (.BBS) file formats.
- The AVATAR (.AVT) file standard defined by FidoNet.
- Save files for various programming languages, including Assembly (.ASM), C (.H) and Turbo Pascal (.PAS).
- Ability to save ANSIs as.COM binary,.BIN and object code (.OBJ).
- Other supported formats: BSave (.BSV) and backup files (.BAK)
- Comprehensive help screens
- Preset transition animations to wipe or change the image
- ANSI animation support (creation and modification)
- The "Draw Mode" used automatically the appropriate character from the currently selected set to draw lines and corners by simply using the cursor keys (up/down/left/right)
- The default character sets can be modified and extended

The leJOS Tutorial
Trail: Essential leJOS classes
Lesson: Utilities
Utilities: Recycling
Other than on the PC with its constantly enlarging sizes of RAM, Memory is precious on small devices like the RCX.
Since there is no mechanism on Java to free memory at a determined point of time, and particularly with the lack of a garbage collector with leJOS, allocating objects on the heap is liable to set forth some kind of "out of memory" behavior of your robot. In peculiar, memory consuming collections like arrays are prone to make itself a nuisance.
To help this, some new josx.util package located classes have been introduced in leJOS' version 2.1.0 with the task of providing a recycling mechanism:
The idea is simple but effective: instead of creating every new instance of your object with its constructor using new(), you order such a new instance by a Recycler, which may be thought as a factory that stores currently unused objects and delivers them on order.
All the user has to do is
 1. to implement the Recyclable interface for the classes he wants to be recycled that way,
 2. to order such objects from the recycler by calling Recycler.allocate(),
 3. to hand them out back to the recycler when they are no longer needed (by calling Recycler.recycle([recyclable object])) and
 4. to extend the abstract Recycler class in overwriting its createInstance() method (don't worry: as a rule that requires no more than creating a new instance of your recyclable class using new).
Declaring instances of a class to be recycable
For the instances of a class to be recycable, the class should extend the abstract josx.util.AbstractRecyclable class; this means, it has to implement the following two methods: Of course you are free to implement the Recyclable directly; in this case you have to implement also the getNextRecyclable() and setNextRecyclable() by yourself.
Building a Recycler
To recycle recyclable instances, you need a recycler which manages the process of allocating and releasing the memory for these instances. This is most easily done by extending the abstract josx.util.Recycler class, which means that your recycler has to to implement the
 public Recyclable createInstance()
method and adapt it to create an instance of your particular recyclable class.
Of course you can build your own recycler, which means that you have to take care of the complete recycling process by yourself.
Recycling array entries
For recycable arrays there exists the josx.util.RecyclableArray class already, which delivers all the basic functionalities you would expect from an array like get(), put() and getLength().
The associated recycler is josx.util.ArrayRecycler which extends josx.util.Recycler and implements its abstract methods - ready to be used.
Two complete examples that use the Recycling classes
are and which may be found in the examples/test/recycling section of the leJOS tree.

The radiation emitted from electromagnetic fields (EMF) can cause biological effects on prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including non-thermal effects.
The present study evaluated the non-thermal effects of wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) operating at 2.4 GHz part of non-ionizing EMF on different pathogenic bacterial strains (Escherichia coli 0157H7, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermis). Antibiotic resistance, motility, metabolic activity and biofilm formation were examined.
Material and Methods:
In this case-control, a Wi-Fi router was used as a source of microwaves and also bacterial cells were exposed to Wi-Fi radiation continuously for 24 and 48 hours. The antibiotic susceptibility was carried out using a disc diffusion method on Müller Hinton agar plates. Motility of Escherichia coli 0157H7 was conducted on motility agar plates. Cell metabolic activity and biofilm formation were performed using 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and crystal violet quantification, respectively.
The exposure to Wi-Fi radiation altered motility and antibiotic susceptibility of Escherichia coli 0157H7. However, there was no effect Wi-Fi radiation on antibiotic susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermis. On the other hand, the exposed cells, as compared to the unexposed control, showed an increased metabolic activity and biofilm formation ability in Escherichia coli 0157H7, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermis.
These results proposed that Wi-Fi exposure acted on bacteria in stressful manner by increasing antibiotic resistance and motility of Escherichia coli 0157H7, as well as enhancing biofilm formation by Escherichia coli 0157H7, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermis. The findings may have implications for the management of serious diseases caused by these infectious bacteria.

Grouping is a common problem in XSLT stylesheets: how do you take a list of elements and arrange them into groups. There are two main situations in which you need to do this:
The most efficient method for grouping large numbers of elements according to their content, be it the value of an attribute, of a subelement, or its textual content, is the Muenchian Method (after Steve Muench, who discovered/developed it).

HSBC Launches $100 Million Climate Change Effort
HSBC Launches $100 Million Climate Change Initiative
Financial services giant HSBC has announced a five-year, $100 million partnership with four environmental organizations to respond to the threat of global climate change.
Comprised of HSBC, the Climate Group, the Earthwatch Institute, the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, and the World Wildlife Fund, the HSBC Climate Partnership will build on HSBC's previous five-year, $50 million "eco-partnership," Investing in Nature, which concluded in 2006. The latest commitment by the company represents both the largest charitable donation ever made by a British company and the largest contribution ever received by each of the nonprofit partners. "By working with four of the world's most respected environmental organizations and creating a 'green taskforce' of thousands of HSBC employees worldwide, we believe we can tackle the causes and impacts of climate change," said Paul Lawrence, president and CEO of HSBC Bank USA.
The partnership will work to help five of the world's major cities — Hong Kong, London, New York, Shanghai, and Mumbai — respond to the challenges of climate change; create "climate champions" worldwide to undertake field research and bring back valuable information and experience to their communities; conduct the largest-ever field experiment on the world's forests to measure carbon and the effects of climate change; and help protect some of the world's major rivers, including the Amazon, Ganges, Thames, and Yangtze, from the effects of climate change, benefiting the 450 million people who rely on them.
According to Christopher Walker, U.S. director of the Climate Group, climate change increasingly is an urban issue. "High summer temperatures, storms, and rising sea levels will have more extreme impacts on city life.... [And] many of the solutions lie in cities — concentrations of capital, decision makers, opinion formers, and population," he added. "Through the HSBC Climate Partnership, we will accelerate our program in five world cities, engaging the most influential businesses and city governments to lead a 'coalition of the willing' against global warming."

By the Spotsylvania Department of Tourism
From The Start...
Blacks first arrived in isolated and sparsely populated Spotsylvania County along with white settlers in the early 1700's. Through the years before the Civil War, as slaves and occasionally as free men and women, they were an important force in area development. Occupations included labor as farm and plantation workers, as domestic servants, and as artisans, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, coopers, and fine needleworkers. They also worked in the iron industries, mining, construction, shipping on the Rappahannock River, and in their own businesses.
By the first half of the 19th century, Spotsylvania County's population reached about 11,000, overhalf of whom were black.
Alex Haley's award winning novel, Roots, cast his African ancestor, Kunta Kinte, as a slave of a Spotsylvania family.

Every year, gardeners grapple with how to grow a tastier tomato. Now scientists are tapping into the fruit's secrets, too. The first high-quality genome sequence of the tomato, reported online today
in Nature, reveals the genes responsible for everything from the fruit's color to the sources of its famous antioxidant, lycopene. The tomato
(left) shares all but 8% of its more than 34,000 protein-coding genes with its close relative, the recently sequenced potato. The tomato is even
more similar to its wild cousin, the small-fruited, hardy and usually green tomato, Solanum pimpinellifolium (right); the two share all but 0.6%
of their genome, which suggests they've been recently crossed. The completed genome could help scientists pinpoint how and when the tomato was first
domesticated, and it may even lead breeders to that holy grail: an even better tomato. And in case you're wondering, yes, the genome confirms that the
tomato is indeed a fruit, not a vegetable.

This is what RFC 1035 says about inverse queries:
 6.4. Inverse queries (Optional)
 Inverse queries are an optional part of the DNS. Name servers are not
 required to support any form of inverse queries. If a name server
 receives an inverse query that it does not support, it returns an error
 response with the "Not Implemented" error set in the header. While
 inverse query support is optional, all name servers must be at least
 able to return the error response.
 6.4.1. The contents of inverse queries and responses Inverse
 queries reverse the mappings performed by standard query operations;
 while a standard query maps a domain name to a resource, an inverse
 query maps a resource to a domain name. For example, a standard query
 might bind a domain name to a host address; the corresponding inverse
 query binds the host address to a domain name.
 Inverse queries take the form of a single RR in the answer section of
 the message, with an empty question section. The owner name of the
 query RR and its TTL are not significant. The response carries
 questions in the question section which identify all names possessing
 the query RR WHICH THE NAME SERVER KNOWS. Since no name server knows
 about all of the domain name space, the response can never be assumed to
 be complete. Thus inverse queries are primarily useful for database
 management and debugging activities. Inverse queries are NOT an
 acceptable method of mapping host addresses to host names; use the INADDR.ARPA domain instead.

What is Shou Shu?
It is a Chinese martial art that is based upon the fighting motions of seven different animals. Al Moore Sr. was the founder of the art and developed the system to utilize the fighting skills of the seven animals: bear, tiger, mongoose, mantis, crane, cobra, and dragon. Al Moore passed away in 2002 and the art is being carried on by Da Shifu James Clark.
Why do you study different animals?
Each animal fights differently. Some are very powerful and fight using their size and strength while others are small and must rely on evasion or the weaknesses of their opponents. One never knows what kind of opponent they'll face but by studying the various animals, you will have a wide breadth of techniques and weapons to draw upon when the situation calls for.
What do the colored belts mean?
The belts are a way of letting teachers and fellow students know what level their working on. The belts in Shou Shu have specific meaning:
White — Beginning student
Orange — Learning the fundamentals
Purple — Fundamentals + Power
Blue — Fundamentals + Power + Speed
Green – Fundamentals + Power + Speed + Flow
Brown — First level of mastery
Black — Teacher to Master
How long does it take to get a black belt?
Unlike most systems, there is no set testing schedule in Shou Shu. When the teacher feels the student is ready to test for their next belt, they test. How quickly a student progresses depends on how often they attend class and practice at home.
How is Shou Shu different from other arts?
Most other striking martial arts such as Taekwondo, Karate, Muay Thai, Wing Chun and many others are external hard styles. Shou Shu on the other hand is an internal soft style. An internal style generates power with the entire body while external styles generate power with the limbs using staged activation of muscles. In a soft style the body remains relaxed while a hard stylist will tense up when striking. There are many advantages to practicing an internal soft style, just ask any of the teachers for a more detailed description.
Do you compete in tournaments?
In short, no. Unlike tournament or sport arts, Shou Shu is a practical martial art that solely concentrates on self-defense. Trying to win a tournament or competing in the ring is very different from self-defense on the street. Shou Shu prepares the student for real-world multiple attacker situations.
Is the art good for kids and adults?
Yes. Kids will learn, discipline, cooperation, respect, all while learning practical self-defense techniques. The skills they learn at Red Dragon Martial Arts will help them now and a long time into their futures. For adults the classes are equally beneficial with improvements in endurance, flexibility, balance, coordination, and strength. Adults will also gain self-confidence knowing that they will learn the skills to defend themselves and their families much more effectively should the need ever arise.
What are the school hours?
Mon – Fri from 4:00pm to 9:00pm
Kids group on Mon Wed Fri from 5:00pm to 5:45pm
Adult group Mon through Fri from 6:30pm to 7:30pm
Sat open mat from 10:00am to 12:00pm and when groups not in session
How much do lessons cost?
You'll find that this is the best deal in town for learning martial arts. The monthly costs are affordable and there are no hidden fees. Many other schools have club programs, expensive uniforms, and on and on. The monthly fees at Red Dragon Martial Arts is reasonable and there are no surprises. Adult classes also include a weekly 30 minute private lesson.

Fort Interior West Palisade Area
The excavation inside the west log wall (palisade) continues to reveal more sections of the cobblestone foundation of a long building, estimated to be over 130 feet long with three double-sided H-shaped fireplaces that divide it into at least six rooms, similar perhaps to a London row house or maybe the Governor's house.
Archaeologists now have portions of the foundation for both long sides of the building and one end, which was recently discovered near the river side of the building. A walking path for visitors has been rerouted so that they can continue looking for the other end of the building under the existing path. They are extending the dig in that direction and hope to define the outline of the building before the end of this dig season.
Based on the findings so far, the building was 18 feet wide, a width that fits traditional Fort Period building dimensions, and places the building 10 feet away from and parallel to the west wall, the same as other earlier buildings inside the fort.
The architecture in this area also appears to be very different from the earth fast mud and stud buildings found at the other end of the fort. Artifacts from the building site include a relatively high concentration of status items compared to other areas of the fort site such as broken Chinese porcelain, delftware wall tiles from the Netherlands, ceramics and glassware in the facon de Venise. This may indicate that people of relatively high status lived here, and it may also indicate a social class separation in the overall design of the fort.
Personal objects such as a small silver wax seal with a scallop shell design, a crucifix made of jet, the cap of the handle of a small silver knife engraved with the initials FP and the date 1622, and other items such as buttons, aglets, oyster shells and food remains have been found in the plow zone in this area.
Other Images From the Fort Interior West Palisade Area:
A brick-lined wine cellar with ten intact wine bottles, one of the oldest wine cellars ever discovered in America, and portions of the foundations of a building constructed near the latter part of the 17th century have also been uncovered this summer inside the west wall area of the fort site. (See Featured Finds for more information about the wine cellar.)
The newer building cuts diagonally across the earlier fort-period building at right angles and was built after the fort was no longer in use. The dimensions of this building are not yet known, but archaeologists have found diamond-shaped window glass and a small section of window lead, which bears the date 1693, associated with the building that may indicate that this was the home of a wealthy family who lived at Jamestown near the end of the 17th century.
William Kelso, APVA director of archaeology said, "It's like a bookend. We've been uncovering the very beginning of Jamestown, and in the process we have also found the end." After the capital moved to Williamsburg in 1699, Jamestown was gradually abandoned, fell into ruin and eventually became an agricultural area.
Other Images From the Wine Cellar:
West Corner Cannon Mount (Bulwark) Trench
As they continue to dig the west corner cannon mount (bulwark) trench, archaeologists may have discovered underneath it part of a saw pit used by the first settlers beside the river. A thick layer of dark soil, about three inches, possibly created by the decay of layers of saw dust over the years, may mark the bottom of the pit. The trench cuts through the saw pit, so the pit was there before the trench was built. According to Kelso, this makes sense because one of the first things the settlers did was saw clapboard to ship back to England, where lumber was scarce.
"Now falleth every man to work: The council contrive the fort, the rest cut down trees to make a place to pitch their tents, some provide clapboard to relade the ships, some make gardens, some nets, etc." --John Smith
They're also carefully excavating the post molds left by the decayed palisade. This makes it possible to determine the shape of the logs that were used to create the fort's corner wall. Visitors can also watch as buckets of dirt scraped away from the trench fill are rinsed with water through a fine mesh screen to unveil even the smallest artifacts.
Throughout the summer, archaeologists at this site have been discovering small bits and pieces of objects lost or discarded by the early settlers, probably sometime between 1607 and 1612, including bits of apothecary jars, Indian pottery, other ceramics, beads, pieces of arms and armor, pipe stems, copper scrap, sturgeon scales (scutes) and bones from food remains. Larger items such as bullet molds, parts from matchlock guns and pieces of armor, and a Lowland Scots basket hilt and pommel have also been found.
Uncovering the Center of the Fort
"In the middest is a marketplace, a storehouse, and a corps du guard, as likewise a pretty chapel..." --William Strachey
Archaeologists are continuing to pursue a path of excavation toward the center of the fort site, hoping to find remains of the first church and other public buildings.

second person (uncountable)
 1. In grammar, the form of a verb used when the subject of a sentence is the audience. In English, the second person is used with the pronouns thou and you. In many languages the singular, applying to one person, and plural, applying to several people, are distinct.
 "Are" is the second person of "to be"
 "hast" is the second person singular of the German verb "haben"
 "habt" is the second person plural of the German verb "haben"
 2. A form of narrative writing using verbs in the second person in order to give the impression that the action is happening to the reader.

Follow me on Instagram at sharpharmade!. Thu 10/27/16 is Black Cat Day. "Black cats and kittens are often overlooked when animal shelters are looking for new homes, and can be at the shelter much longer than they should be. Interestingly, cats in ancient Egypt were revered highly, partly due to their ability to combat vermin such as mice, rats. Cats of royalty were known to be dressed in golden jewelry and were allowed to eat right off their owners' plates. These days, however, black cats are often are seen as unlucky or mischievous, but not everyone knows why that is. In Celtic mythology, it was believed that fairies could take the form of black cats, and therefore their arrival to a home or village was seen as sign of good luck. Unfortunately, the Pilgrims that came after them were devoutly religious and fearful of anything remotely related to the pagan beliefs of their ancestors, and it was because of that fear that black cats went from being seen as the vessels of fairies to the vessels of witches and demons. At that time it became common practice to severely punish those who kept black cats as pets, and even kill the animals themselves. Although these days nobody really believes black cats are witches or demons in disguise anymore, they are still often seen as signs of bad luck by many people. If you have a cat, especially a black one, today is the day to make it feel extra special. Buy your cat a new toy or a tasty treat and spend the afternoon playing tug-of-war or rubbing its belly. If you've been thinking about getting a cat of your own and have the time to take proper care of it, maybe today should be the day you welcome a furry feline into your life? From an animal shelter, or you can buy a black kitten. And even if you can't have a cat due to allergies or other reasons, that doesn't mean you can't celebrate this day! Make a small donation to your local animal shelter." ^sPm - _TAG_ Fr 'Days of the Year'. _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_ _TAG_. _USER_ _USER_

Mining Publication: Injury Analysis of Pennsylvania Small Surface Coal Mines
This paper is a descriptive analysis of injuries and fatalities at small surface bituminous coal mining companies in Pennsylvania. The purpose of analyzing a specific industry sector and location is to identify issues that might be missed in a wider analysis. Other studies of small mine safety (e.g., Peters and Fotta, 1994, Randolph and Boldt, 1997) have shown that the relationship between safety and mine size is not a simple one. Some injury types occur at higher rates at small mines, while others occur at lower rates. Consequently, an analysis limited to a specific type of mining can help identify hazards and issues specific to that sector. The results of this analysis will be useful for directing training, intervention, and research efforts towards the most prevalent causal factors and incident types.

Pleurotus ostreatus, or the oyster mushroom, is a common edible mushroom. As much at home in a stir fry or a soup, one would not expect this culinary baseline to be anywhere other than at the bottom of the food chain. Surprisingly this is not the case, as the oyster mushroom is a stealthy and efficient predator of nematodes.
Nematodes, a type of worm, are infamous agricultural pests. The damage caused by these miniature beasts has been estimated at $US80 billion per year, though this is believed to be a severe underestimate as many growers are unaware of them. They even present a threat to the cultivated mushroom industry, being a renowned pest of button mushrooms, so how is it that they fall prey to the oyster mushroom?
The answer is one of ingenuity on the part of the fungus. Unable to chase the nematodes, mushrooms are notoriously sessile, it instead lays a trap. It secretes a toxin which, upon contact with a nematode, proceeds to immobilise the worm in as little as 30 seconds. Fungal hyphae, attracted to the (still alive) nematode through host leakage products released by immobilisation, penetrate one or more of the nematode's orifices and proceed to digest it.
The unrelated fungus Arthrobotrys also hunts nematodes, but through a completely different mechanism. Instead of stunning its host, it captures it in a hyphal lasso. Known as a constriction ring, this consists of a hypha fused with itself to form a three-celled ring about 20-30 microns in diameter. If, and when, a nematode enters the ring, it triggers the three cells to expand rapidly (within 1/10th of a second) and trap the nematode.
Killer fungi aren't just of academic interest either. The hunting abilities of fungi, particularly the oyster mushroom, make them potential effective and green bio-control agents. Indeed, initial tests have found the oyster mushroom effective at controlling the Sugar Beet Nematode (Heterodera schachtii), through field tests have yet to be carried out.
It appears that fungi aren't just passive members of the woodland scenery but rather edible guardians protecting against the nematode threat.

First results from the paleomagnetic study of Cumbre Vieja
Josep M. Parés, coordinator of the Geochronology and Geology Program at the Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH), has led the first study of the magnetic properties of the lava and ash produced during the 2021 eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano (island of La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain), which has been published in the journal Geosciences.
Beyond the tragedy and socioeconomic impact this natural eruption phenomenon meant for the island of La Palma, volcanoes are generators of crustal material that open a window onto the Earth's interior. Given the results of this preliminary study, carried out in collaboration with the Universidad de Burgos (UBU) and the Instituto de Productos Naturales y Agrobiología (CSIC, La Laguna), a field campaign is planned to take samples at selected points on Cumbre Vieja, which is a true natural laboratory for investigating the unique properties of the Earth's magnetic field.
Apart from enhancing our comprehension of volcanism per se, the eruption offers a one-off opportunity for understanding which of the Earth's properties, such as its magnetic field, are recorded at the moment of their formation by the materials like lava generated, and how this takes place.
"One of the foundations and premises of paleomagnetism is precisely that rocky materials acquire and retain the ambient terrestrial magnetism at the moment of their formation. However, we also know that that record, or paleomagnetic signal, can often be imperfect," comments Parés, who is a paleomagnetism specialist.
To determine the reliability of paleomagnetic measurements, it is crucial to characterize that signal in materials formed under known conditions, in terms of time, direction, and magnitude of the geomagnetic field. These conditions are met to an exceptional extent for the volcanic materials ejected by Cumbre Vieja. "We have here the generation of new rocks, where on the one hand the conditions of the site are known and, on the other, we can measure the magnitude and direction of the geomagnetic field, and in real time too," adds Parés.
The CENIEH and the UBU have collaborated closely to obtain the magnetic composition of the lava and ash from Cumbre Vieja, which is an indispensable step to establishing which formations will be appropriate for deeper studies of the geomagnetic field record in lavas.
To do this, the twin CENIEH and UBU paleomagnetism laboratories conducted coercivity studies using a vibration magnetometer, and plotted curves of thermomagnetism and other properties which, taken together, reveal the characteristics of the titanomagnetites present in those materials.

Chocolate moulding refers to the rapid transformation of chocolate material from fluid to stable solid. After the molding process, the chocolate product will obtain the best quality of gloss, fragrance and structure.
The following will mainly introduce the chocolate moulding process and equipment in the chocolate factory.
- Choose a mold that meets the casting requirements. Common is the polycarbonate chocolate molds.
- A chocolate depositing machine with good performance.
- The cooler ensures that the chocolate is demoulded normally.
Continuous Chocolate Moulding Process
Grind, refine and temper the chocolate.
The temperature-regulated chocolate material is sent to the mold casting machine, the temperature of the material is maintained by the jacket heating device of the hopper, and the material is accurately and quantitatively injected into the lower mold plate through the piston;
The mold plate enters the vibration zone composed of a group of vibration devices. The mold plate is used on the vibrator with adjustable frequency and amplitude to remove the bubbles in the material, and the material is evenly distributed in the mold plate;
The die plate enters into a cooling tunnel running in multiple layers. The cold air circulates in the tunnel to reduce the temperature of the material. The cold air temperature can be adjusted to maintain different cooling temperatures in each section.
After the chocolate solidifies and shrinks, the mold plate enters the demolding area. Before demolding, it undergoes another vibration, the mold plate is turned over, the chocolate and the mold are separated, and the chocolate is transported to the packaging system by the transmission belt.
What you need to know to make moulded chocolate continuously?
In chocolate molding, a very important factor is the viscosity of the material. If the material is too thick, it will affect the transportation and distribution of the material.
- The water content of the material has a great influence on the viscosity. The moisture content of the chocolate material cannot exceed 1%.
- Strictly control the temperature of the material. Generally, the casting temperature is kept at 27～29℃, and the viscosity should not exceed 20Pa·s.
- The cooling temperature and time are well controlled. It is advisable to solidify the chocolate material at 8～10℃, and the time is generally 25～30 minutes.

Analysing homa Rituals - Chinese Researcher visits BuddhistRoad Team
The BuddhistRoad team invited the Chinese researcher Hou Haoran from Leipzig University to present his research on the religious aspects of the Tangut Empire in a guest lecture. As visiting researcher he introduced the team and further researchers from CERES to the Buddhist fire offerings (homa), which were widely practiced in Tangut Empire during the 12th to 13th century. This aspect of Tantric practices is described widely in manuscripts in Chinese and Tangut from Karakhoto and Shanzuigou. Several scriptures can be understood as manuals for the homa ritual, while other sources from that era and Buddhist prayers specify the homa offerings that were performed at the Tangut court.
In his overview Hou Haoran also took into account visual materials related to the ritual: Both the Thangka collections from Karakhoto as well as the mural paintings of the caves in Yulin depict homa elements. Another example for the visual expression is a Tangut blockprint, i.e., the Saṃpuṭatantra, that includes a section homavidhi introducing various formulas of homa ritual. Hou Haoran emphasised that the rare text was written in the three languages of Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Tangut. Using an approach from the comparative study, he demonstrated on the basis of this trilingual source how Tangut people interpreted and used Buddhist texts, images, and rituals.

A facet model of targets is proposed to simulate inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images and radar back-scattering of moving targets with rigid and nonrigid motions. Targets are composed of solid objects which are modeled by triangular facets. It is shown that a facet can be treated as an equivalent point-scatterer whose radar cross section (RCS) and position depend on the shape of the triangle, the frequency, and the angle of incidence. A shadowing algorithm is also developed to detect the facets which actually have influence on the signal received by the radar. Besides, a facet division algorithm is implemented to improve the result of the shadowing algorithm and to have at least one facet per resolution cell. Finally, we apply our simulator to obtain the ISAR images of a ship and a helicopter and to calculate the micro-Doppler signature of a human.
