required to neutralize the soda is added, because when it gets to around 70 degrees C it begins to evolve carbon dioxide even without acid. This property makes baking soda useful for putting out kitchen fires, particularly grease fires. Remember, NEVER use water on a grease fire. The best thing to do is just to put the lid on the flaming vessel, but if this is not possible, throw some soda on it. It decomposes so fast that it does not have time to cause the grease to splatter unless you use a whole lot and it can stay relatively cool in the middle of the mass, so do not throw a whole box into a deep fryer!
I neat trick to clean silver or copper of tarnish is to wash the item(s) thoroughly in detergent and water to remove dirt and grease, then put the items in either an uncoated aluminum pan or in any pan after first putting in a piece of aluminum foil. Add some baking soda and put the pan on the heat. This sets up a battery that electrolytically reduces the tarnish (copper or silver sulfide) back to the metal. This is preferable to silver polish because the polish removes the silver sulfide, whereas the soda method regenerates the silver. This is particularly important for silver plate since the plating is quite thin and repeated use of polishes will wear it away.
Baking soda is famous for being used in tooth cleaners, and it has real merit. It is a mild abrasive, but not so much that it damages tooth enamel, a mild antiseptic to kill bacteria, and a mild base that neutralizes the acids that bacteria produce that DO attack enamel. It is also a fair whitener. My grandmum used it (with a frizzled sweet gum stick as a toothbrush) until the she was around 50 or so and still had many of her natural teeth when she died at 101 and a half years!
The mild abrasive properties make soda great for cleaning items around the house without scratching them, but do not use it on really delicate items like laptop screens or lacquered surfaces. Also, do not use it on aluminum because it is basic enough to dissolve the protective oxide layer on aluminum. By the way, aluminum is so reactive that without this oxide layer (which forms immediately when aluminum is in contact with air) aluminum items would corrode away in minutes or weeks, depending on the size and geometry of the item. Aluminum foil would not exist with this protective layer, being destroyed by the air instantly. Remember, aluminum is produced by dissolving aluminum oxide in molten cryolite, sodium hexafluoroaluminate, a more basic and lower melting sodium salt. Sodium bicarbonate can not be used because it decomposes when it gets hot as mentioned earlier.
Many people use soda as an antacid, and for me it has no peer. Since I cut way back of fatty foods I rarely use it any more, when when I got heartburn half a teaspoon of soda in water would instantly, within 10 seconds, begin to give me relief. For those on sodium restricted diets it should not be used unless specifically directed by a medical professional. Alka-Seltzer is a combination of soda, citric acid, and aspirin. When the tablets are put into water, the citric acid reacts with the sodium bicarbonate to form carbon dioxide, water, and sodium citrate, itself a good antacid. Some of the aspirin also reacts with the soda to form sodium acetylsalicylate, a water soluble form of aspirin. That is why the aspirin gets into your system much faster than when taking tablets, because aspirin itself has a low water solubility.
Another common sodium compound is sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, or washing soda. It is present in almost all laundry detergents because it not only helps to soften water. It is also basic enough to saponify fat, turning it into soap and thus making fat water soluble. It is more basic than baking soda but not nearly as caustic as lye. Just do not get strong solutions in your eyes, but you CAN wash out washing soda solutions quickly enough to prevent corneal damage.
Sodium carbonate is used in enormous quantities as a raw material for glassmaking. Common glass is essentially a mixture of sodium carbonate, calcium oxide, and white sand, heated until it melts and then molded into glasses, bottles, and similar things, floated on molten tin to make window glass, or rolled into thicker plates for plate glass. All three of the raw materials are incredibly cheap, and that makes glass cheap as well. Now, there are hundreds of different glass formulations, but unless special properties are required, the soda lime glass is used because of its low cost. The next time you are at the hardware store look at the edge of a piece of window glass. You will see that it is quite green! That is because the glass is contaminated with trace amounts of iron, and iron in the 2+ oxidation state is green. The thin sections of the glass are too thin for the tint to be perceptible, but the edges of a piece a couple of feet wide are quite noticeable. For some applications even those traces are unacceptable so specially purified starting materials are used, increasing the cost of the glass considerably.
Another commonly used sodium compound is sodium borate, or borax, Na2B4O7. It is an excellent laundry booster and I use some in every load. It is also germicidal, and the former Mrs. Translator and I used it in the diaper pail to reduce odor of rinsed, soiled diapers. It is also an excellent and relatively nontoxic (to mammals) insecticide, and is safe to use around children and pets. People building or renovating houses are wise to put borax in the framing for drywall to act as a long lasting, nontoxic roach preventative.
Yet another commonly encountered sodium salt is monosodium glutamate, or MSG. This is used as a flavor enhancer in many salty and savory dishes. One of the reasons that soy sauce tastes like soy sauce is that soy beans are very high in the amino acid glutamic acid. As the protein is hydrolyzed, glutamic acid is released and combines with sodium, forming this material. Contrary to popular belief, real sensitivity to MSG is almost unknown and it IS a natural product. Almost any cheese has lots of it, except for unripened ones like cottage cheese and cream cheese. As a matter of fact, the scientific consensus is that MSG is the specific trigger for the fifth human taste umami (roughly translated from the Japanese as "delicious"). So go ahead and do not feel bad about using it. It really does make savory foods taste better, but works best with foods that are a little salty in the first place.
There are thousands of compounds with sodium in them, and we can only scratch the surface here. Therefore, we shall consider only one more.
Chlorine bleach is a water solution of sodium hypochlorite, NaClO. It is an oxidizing agent that is used to render colorless (and often water soluble) stains on fabric. It is made by reacting chlorine with sodium hydroxide, another product of the chloralkali process mentioned earlier. Bleach also contains a little sodium hydroxide to keep the pH high, because hypochlorite is unstable in neutral or acidic conditions, releasing chlorine. That is why it bleaches. When you add bleach to laundry, the pH decreases and chlorine, the real bleaching agent, is liberated. It is important to rinse garments thoroughly after using chlorine bleach because if the hydroxide is not removed it will damage the fabric. Weak bleach solutions are also excellent disinfecting solutions on hard surfaces that are not damaged by it.
Well, you have done it again! You have wasted many more einsteins of perfectly good photons reading this salty piece. And even though Huckabee realizes that making jokes about Chris Matthews wetting his pants when he reads me say it, I always learn much more than I could possibly hope to teach by writing this series, so please keep those comments, questions, corrections, and other feedback coming. Tips and recs are also always quite welcome. Remember, no science or technology issue is off topic here.
I shall stay around tonight for as comments warrant, since A***** is out of town. Tomorrow I shall return around 9:00 PM Easter for Review Time.

Summary: The Stakeholder Workshop Series
Connect with others. Synthesize Knowledge. Solidify relationships.
Workshop 3- Salmon
What is the Stakeholder Workshop Series?
The Stakeholder Workshop Series is creating a safe space to explore, build, and maintain links
among management issues associated with: fisheries, forestry, mining and agriculture. The three
themes for the workshop series: 1) Water, 2) Climate Change, and 3) Salmon are not mutually
exclusive; each theme overlaps, with previous discussions lending insight to the next. During
each workshop, participants will work to identify barriers to collaboration and knowledge
exchange and consider innovative ways to overcome these barriers. All stakeholders will benefit
from learning about how others understand patterns of ecological, social, and economic
processes. Due to the cultural differences between people, these workshops aim to address
aspects of natural resource management while uncovering how different stakeholders understand
the same information in different ways. For the purpose of this discussion, stakeholders are
defined as people within society that share specific concerns (recognising that individuals may
simultaneously belong to several stakeholder groups).
Although we will be building bridges between different ways of understanding the world, this
workshop series does not aim to create a new committee. Rather, we will work to synthesise

Hashgacha Pratis: Just a Leaf
Esty Stern
Creative 2020 / Finalists
Everything that happens is for a purpose.
Chassidus explains this concept in many places. In Sefer Hamaamarim(Kuntreisim, vol 2, page רעט), the Frierdiker Rebbe writes about this in detail. Here is what it says in brief:
"We learn from the Torah of the Baal Shem Tov, that every created thing is being watched and directed by Hashem in all the events that happen to them."
The Frierdiker Rebbe then explains: Hashem causes things to happen in order to accomplish other things that are important for the world. For example: On a bright summer day, a sudden strong wind erupts and starts to blow leaves off of the trees, and to move around the straw in the field. A few minutes later, the wind dies down and disappears, as if it never came. The purpose of the strong wind was to cause the leaves and straw to move from place to place, and there's a purpose behind it, why it needed to happen. So when you see a leaf or a piece of straw floating around in the streets, it's all behashgacha pratis.
Even more so when it comes to humans in general, and to Yidden specifically. Everything that happens in our lives, the family we're born in, the people we encounter, the places we visit, the triumphs, and the challenges, are all being directed by Hashem and have a purpose we may never know. This idea is calming and reassuring, especially during times of hardships and uncertainty, since we are sure that Hashem made this happen for a reason.
I composed a song, using the moshul of a leaf as the Frierdiker Rebbe brings down. Presented in the attached video are the lyrics and music synchronized. Although I'm unable to sing the song, the words fit to the tune and create a beautiful blend.
(tune, lyrics, music & video)
I begin my life so small
A newborn bud on a tree tall
Every breath I slowly unfurl
Future unknown in this far world
Sunny days of growth stretch by
Colorful blends fill me with pride
As a ripened leaf I reflect
What will happen to me next?
Sudden winds blow up a storm
My grasp to solidness forcefully torn
A sharp plunge drags me away
Foreign thoughts enter all gray
What will be? Is this the end?
Why do I feel lost and uncertain?
Announce Your salvation I cry
Reveal the meaning on high
For my life
As the rainy winds turn to snow
I gently make my descent below
A tiny seed all alone
Pleads for a safe comforting home
Spreading out my gracious wing
A haven for the frightened seed
Now protected and ready to thrive
Newfound friendship in our lives
As a warm breeze lifts me away
I thank the One pulling the strings of my day
Petals and blossoms near shine
Revealing my purpose divine
Right at ease, not afraid as before
I believe just a leaf can accomplish more
Uncertain where I'm headed next
Yet sure this journey's the best
For my life

Love pulls our senses apart and makes
The objective in Music Interpretation Parameters is to visualize a song through typography, graphics and imagery. A chosen song was to be displayed though the collection of materials and manipulating their image through a projector. Projected images of those materials yielded a variation of results, including wide ranges of colors, shadows, and highlights of the specified materials.
To create metaphors and visuals for the song by Ellie Goulding-Love Me Like You Do from the movie Fifty Shades of Grey. A feather was chosen to represent the soft and light feeling of the song. The projected images of the feather were used to develop a visual style that reinforced the overall tone of the song.

When the red LED blinks, the plant needs water. A blinking yellow
LED indicates sufficient or too much water. The solar panel on
the back side of the PCB easily provides the necessary 100uA at
1.9V, even on a very rainy day. When there is more sunlight, LED
brightness goes up automatically.
The soil resistance is measured using a tiny alternating current (less than a microwatt). To avoid corrosion, the PCB has been tinned and the sensor poles were gold-plated. Prototypes are entering their second summer, and have been doing a good job for various plants.

I don't have them by nature, "green Thumbs." Fortunately, most plants are fairly easy to please. Put them near a window, give them new soil now and then, a larger pot when they grow, and enough water; that usually keeps them going pretty well.
Enough water. How much is that? Two months ago, the lemon geranium (Artemisia abrotanum) on my window sill consisted of a few 10 cm high cuttings. Half a glas of water once every three days sufficed nicely. Now I'm looking at a 60 cm high adult who wants almost ten times as much water. And when the summer sun hits that window, it will need at least three times more.
Giving a plant some arbitrary amount of water every now and then doesn't work too well, because it's in a closed pot. A substatial layer of water will cause the roots to decay. The soil should be moist. That means neither wet nor dry. Difficult to judge, as the top layer can be quite dry even though there is still more than sufficient water below.
An old way to solve this puzzle is a pot with a hole in the bottom, standing on a saucer which serves as water detector. One disadvantage is the limited choice in pots of that type. Moreover, the saucer soon gets dirty. And this method doesn't work at all for large flower boxes. So how about an electronic sensor?
Moistness reduces the electrical resistance of soil. But if you measure the resistance with a simple direct current, one of your sensor poles will be soon covered with a deposit which causes extra resistance (and the corrosion resistance will be seriously tested). Also, it would be inconvenient as well as environmentally unsound if the sensor needed batteries. Just a few years ago it was quite difficult if not impossible to make something usable. Now, modern electronics and small solar panels allow construction of a nice, not too complex and fairly cheap Green Thumb.

If you have ever seen or heard about the type of diet Michael Phelps follows, you will understand the importance of the diet to a competitive swimmer. Swimming uses up a large number of calories and energy, making it necessary for a swimmer to follow a proper diet to give his body the fuel it needs to have the strength and endurance necessary for competitive swimming.
While it is probably not a good idea for anyone to consume the 12,000 calories a day Michael Phelps consumes, it is necessary for swimmers to increase their calories by a few thousand calories per day. The most important components of those calories are carbohydrates and protein, both of which fuel the body to handle the strength and endurance swimming requires.
You are probably familiar with carbohydrate loading, which was popular for swimmers in years past. This is not always necessary as long as you follow a proper diet most of the time. Your diet should consist of more than 50 percent healthy carbohydrates. Fruit juices and dairy products can provide you with simple carbohydrates, while whole grains, such as whole grain pasta or bread, and vegetables high in starch, such as potatoes and beans, can provide you with complex carbohydrates.
Protein is necessary to build the muscles you need for swimming. Every time you swim or workout, your body breaks down muscle tissue. In order to build that tissue back up, you need to consume protein, which contains the amino acids necessary to repair the torn muscle tissues. Without the proper amount of protein, your body will not repair the tissue fast enough to allow you to swim as competitively as you could.
Getting the Right Food
Before you head out to your swim meet, you should pack your swim backpack with all your necessary gear, including food to keep you energized. Keeping a stash of healthy carbohydrates and the proper fluids with you will allow you to properly fuel your body during the few hours before your meet. Finding the right swim bag that will allow you to carry your food, as well as your necessary swim gear, will allow you to be the most successful.
Learning the proper diet, along with practice and exercise, will help you have the most successful swim team season. Healthy carbohydrates, protein and fluids are the most important things to fuel your body with before and after your swim team meets and practices.


Compassion for Orphans is a Christian non-profit charitable organisation. As a Christian organisation our values are taken from the Bible.
For 'Compassion for Orphans', the key Bible reference is James 1:27:
"Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself uncorrupted from the world"
An important part of the verse above is "to keep oneself uncorrupted from the world".
Corruption causes countries and their societies to enter into moral and economic decay and is one of the major causes that leads countries into poverty, resulting in children abandoned by families. Other reasons why there are orphans and orphanages include:
natural disasters;
ethnic conflicts; and;
extreme poverty.
Under no circumstances will 'Compassion for Orphans' tolerate any bribery or corruption. No payments will be made to any party unless they are expressly authorised, and are completely transparent to governments on both sides (Under no circumstances will payments be made to any government employee for their personal gain). Some people may attempt to justify bribery as 'expediency fees' in the same manner as paying for an express service (with a courier company for example). Any express service will be genuine and will be accompanied by a genuine receipt. Where bribery is considered a way of life in the adopting country and adoptions are not possible without paying bribes, 'Compassion for Orphans' will refuse to work in that country.
Some examples of corrupt practices and abuses (Source: UNICEF-innocenti digest) include:
 - The abduction of children;
 - Identifying vulnerable expectant mothers and inciting them to give up their newborn baby;
 - Falsely informing a mother that her baby was still born or died shortly after birth;
 - Payment for a child either directly to the family, the director or staff of an institution, or sometimes to the institution itself;
 - Offering women financial incentives to conceive a child specifically for adoption overseas;
 - Deliberately providing misleading information to the birth parents on the consequences of adoption, e.g. assuring them they will be able to stay in contact with their child;
 - Falsifying documentation, e.g. birth certificates, consent of birth parents, etc.;
 - Corruption of officials, judges in order to get a favourable decision, e.g. judges may accept false documents purporting to contain the consent of birth parents, and;
 - Seriously ill children e.g. HIV/Aids presented as healthy to prospective adoptive parents who would not have been prepared for the caring requirements.
Situations can also arise where some institutions that receive payments for foreign adoptions have few incentives to look for domestic solutions for the children as they have more to gain from foreign ones. They may also make only half-hearted efforts to find the child's biological family or neglect to ascertain whether the child had been placed in institutional care temporarily because of an emergency situation.
Many abuses and practices in intercountry adoption often happen in war or post war situations. Children in war situations often get separated from their parents and some time (usually at least 2 years) should be allowed to pass to allow for possible reunification with surviving family members. Often a country's judicial system may no longer be operational and therefore proper processes cannot be followed.
'Compassion for Orphans' believe that even though we, or people adopting a child, play only a small part in world events, we should make a stand and try and reverse the trend.
'Compassion for Orphans' will advise prospective adoptive parents that they should resolve before they travel not to be involved in corruption or bribery in any form no matter how desperate or costly to them a situation may appear. Our advice is to walk away in every case. To succumb to bribery or corruption would be feeding one of the very things that causes orphans to end up in orphanages and would run the risk of adoptions being adversely affected. When irregularities are uncovered this often results in countries putting a moratorium on intercountry adoptions (which can result in more children being kept in institutional care).
'Compassion for Orphans' advice to prospective adoptive parents should they encounter corruption or bribery in any form will be to report it to 'Compassion for Orphans' for further action as appropriate or necessary.
It may take a little longer to process a particular adoption but those concerned will have played their part to help prevent the abduction, the sale of, or traffic in children and therefore change the world in which we live.
In the longer term it is highly likely that an adopted child will want to discover his or her birth parents. If it transpires that the child was not properly put up for adoption, there may be serious implications for the relationships between the adoptive parents and the adopted child. Also, in some cases, where illegal procedures have taken place, knowledge about a child's background and medical history are lost forever. Research by the International Social Service has shown that many adopted children need to know as much as possible about their real identity in order to build balanced personalities.
Our experience has been that there are people overseas who have a genuine interest in the welfare of the children. These are the people we want to build relationships with.
Some of the moral issues or anti-intercountry adoption views that people may encounter or be challenged on include:
 - "That you are robbing a country of its children and the children of their culture and language";
 - "That you have bought a baby";
 - "That it is better to leave a child to be brought up in its own race and culture even if it means a lifetime in an institution";
 - "That adopting a child is putting a band-aid on and ignoring the real problem which is helping a country out of poverty", and;
 - "That trans-racial adoption can result in a child with a confused identity and racism can result."
Provided every effort that has been made to find a family for a child in his or her own country has failed, and the child faces a bleak future of life in an institution, common sense would suggest that a child (no matter what race or culture) is better off being brought up in a loving family environment in a country such as New Zealand.
The procedures found in the 1993 Hague Convention on the Protection of Children and Co-operation in respect of Intercountry Adoption (e.g. birth parents counselled, possibility of the child being adopted in their own country has been considered), have evolved as a result of the aforementioned issues and, if followed, should allow all concerned to have peace of mind that it is a truly abandoned child that is being adopted.
This explains why 'Compassion for Orphans' will only intermediate intercountry adoptions from countries who have ratified or acceded to the 1993 Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption and governed by the Adoption (Intercountry) Act 1997.
However, it should be recognised that the fact that a country has agreed to international standards and processes is no guarantee that there will not be people who seek to circumvent the processes. It is important therefore that all involved (e.g. government officials, agencies, adoptive parents, etc) adhere scrupulously to internationally accepted standards.

Aircon Servicing in Boon Lay
Boon lay – an epic neighborhood of Jurong West
There is some the neighborhood in Singapore and boon lay is the famous one. Jurong West town consist boon lay. It has roughly corresponded border to the subzone of URA. Besides this, many people confused boon lay with boon lay planning area. This planning area is situated in the South of this neighborhood.
Chew Boon Lay was a famous businessman, and he inspires the name of this subzone. From the nineteenth century to the twentieth century, he owned most of the land of this neighborhood. But later on, it was captured by the colonial government and later on used by them war department. Previously it was a village, and in the year 1940, it had a population of 420. In 1969, boon lay began to develop and after that various building, and GBF flats were built in 1974. Also, West Coast GRC had divided, and this subzone is the part of that divisions.
About neighboring areas
Taking about its neighboring areas then they are seven in numbers. These following neighbors surround Boon Lay:
- Hong Kah
- Kian Teck
- Chin Bee
- Taman Jurong
There are very few estates which are built by the private sector. Otherwise, government officials made rest of the buildings. Here are the streets of boon lay:
- Avenue of Boon Lay
- Boon Lay place and,
- Boon Lay Drive
About transportation facilities
Taking the main roads of boon lay then here are their names:
- Boon lay way
- Jurong West and corporation road connects different islands around this neighborhood. Besides this, the island is linked to PIE.
Public transport of this precinct let its citizens travel comfortably. Here are the transportation options available here:
- Night bus service: This bus service is meant for those who want to travel at night i.e. during non-operational hours. There are two buses for this purpose named NR5 and 5N. SMRT operates the first one, and SBS transits operate the second one.
- Interstate bus services: This will offer services to their passengers who want to travel from one state to another. One can, but its tickets from the shopping center of Boon Lay.
- Besides this, this precinct is even connected to MRT and areas like Joo Koon, Hong Kah, Nanyang, etc.
There is only three schools in this precinct i.e. Boon Lay Garden( primary school), Secondary school of boon lay and River Valley i.e. high school.
Population of Boon Lay
Taking about the subzone population then it is 31,000, and in the planning areas, it is around 30, and it is increased from the past years.
This neighborhood contains two churches, and there is only one temple here. Besides this, they all are situated at the center of the town. There is also a shopping center here, and HBD managed it.
What boon lay is now a developed precinct plus it is upgraded by the HBD officials time to time. It also has a community center.

The Commens Dictionary
Quote from 'Letters to Mario Calderoni'
A genuine Secundanity affects the very mode of being of the Second. An effort cannot occur at all without a resistance. A father is not a father if his son dies, and has not that mode of being that he had when his son lived. A man who is taller than another is not really taller unless the shorter man exists. But that Secundanity which consists in one man's having a stature of 6 feet and another man's having a stature of 5 feet is a degenerate Secundanity, since each would be just what he is if the other were not there, and would be Second in the same way to a merely possible but non-existent man. The genuine Secundanity divides again into a more and a less genuine kind. Being "taller" is a genuine Secundanity. Yet, after all, it is merely what is essentially involved in two distinct facts each relating to a single individual. It might be said to be degenerately genuine as compared with the Secundanity of two brothers; for this cannot be resolved into two facts involving only the two individuals. Still, it is not so genuine as the Secundanity of Cain's Killing Abel; since after all their brotherhood resulted from the two facts that Cain was the son of Adam and Eve and that Abel was son of Adam and Eve. The killing cannot be resolved into two separate facts. Still, even this Secundanity, is not so genuine as that of effort and resistance, since Cain would have been Cain just the same even if he had not killed Abel.

Circular polarization wrt. magnetic field
I am a little confused regarding circular polarization. I have attached a figure in order to explain the situation I have been thinking of: It shows (to the left) how a magnetic field changes from being positive to being negative. The arrow indicates my quantization axis. To the right I have sketched the incoming EM-light, and the circle indicates that it is circularly polarized. The direction is such that it is σ- wrt. the quantization axis (the right hand rule).
The main objective is that I want to drive the Δm=-1 (from J=0, m=0 to J=1, m=-1) transition of an atom moving from left ro right. But this is the part that is troubling me: Am I allowed to just define the quantization axis the way I have? With this definition, the only thing that changes is the magnetic dipole moment of the atom, and it goes from negative to positive. Am I right in all this?
Thanks for any help in advance.

which indicates to the user that the reference marker 30 a is "closer" with respect to the particular angle at which the user is viewing the 3D image (i.e., closer from the user's vantage point).
Other visual characteristics besides size may be used to help visually indicate to a user the relative position of reference markers within an image. For example, in the alternative embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5, reference markers 30 a′-30 i′ have different colors (illustrated by different grayscale shade) to indicate their relative positions within the image. In this example, the darker colored reference markers appear in the foreground, and as the markers get farther away from the user's vantage point their color becomes lighter, although other arrangements may also be used. In some embodiments, both color and size may be used to indicate relative positions within an image, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art. Moreover, individual reference markers may be colorized based upon elevation from the ground surface 31 (in a geo-referenced context), or more generally, based upon a distance from a pre-defined point or surface.
The processor 23 may also advantageously associate with each reference marker selectively displayable position data. Thus, in the case of a 3D geospatial image of a particular city or other location in which the points in the image are referenced to actual latitude, longitude, and/or height/elevation coordinates for the particular city, etc., the processor 24 will associate respective position data with each reference marker 30 a-30 l based upon its position within the image, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art. Of course, for applications other than GIS (e.g., architectural design applications, digital design modeling tools, etc.), the position data may be referenced to a particular object in a scene based upon a scale, etc., as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art.
In particular, the processor 23 may cause the display 21 to display the position data associated with a given reference marker 30 when the user selects the given reference marker. In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the user has selected the reference marker 30 a by moving a mouse cursor 32 to point thereto, which causes the processor to generate a pop-up window 33 displaying the latitude, longitude, and height/elevation coordinates associated with this particular reference marker. In other cases, selection could be performed by pressing a given mouse button or keyboard key, for example. Additionally, the given reference marker's current coordinates may be displayed and updated in real time as the density of the reference markers is changed, if desired, as will be discussed further below.
The mouse 24 may also be used to draw a line 34 between a pair of reference markers 30 a and 30 g, as seen in FIG. 3. This may done by simply selecting a first reference marker (here the reference marker 30 a), such as by clicking a mouse button when the mouse pointer 32 is pointing thereto, and then dragging the line 34 to the second reference marker 30 g and releasing the mouse button. Of course, other approaches for selecting and/or drawing lines between reference markers may also be used, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art. The processor 23 may also display the pop-up window 33, which in this example displays a distance between the two reference markers (i.e., 2 m). This feature may be particularly beneficial for city planners, etc., who need to determine a distance from one point in a 3D scene (such as the top of one building) to another point (e.g., the top of another building), for example.
Yet another similar feature is that the mouse 24 (or keyboard 25 or other appropriate input devices) may be used to select a given reference marker 30 a so that the processor 23 may cause a vertical reference line 35 to be drawn between the ground surface and the given reference marker upon selection thereof, as seen in FIG. 4. That is, the vertical reference line 35 provides a helpful reference for the user to determine where the ground surface 31 directly beneath the given reference marker 30 a is located. In addition, the pop-up window may also be generated on the display 21 by the processor 23 with an indication of the distance between the ground surface 31 and the given reference marker 30 a (here, 5 m).
The reference markers may be semi-transparent geometric objects, such as semi-transparent spheres 30″, for example, as shown in FIG. 6. In particular, the spheres 30″ in the illustrated example delineate points on an object 40, which could be a building (i.e., a manmade structure), elevated terrain, etc. When a given reference marker intersects the object 40, the processor 23 may advantageously display only those portions of the given reference marker outside of the object, as shown, to further help the user appreciate the relative position and boundaries of the object while not obscuring the object itself.
The processor 23 may also cause the display 21 to selectively change the spacing between the reference markers 30 a-30 l based upon one of the input devices. For example, the processor 23 may change the spacing (i.e., density) of the reference markers 30 a-30 l based upon a scroll wheel of the mouse 24, which may be done in combination with pressing a particular key (e.g., CTRL key) on the keyboard 25. Thus, the user is able to quickly and conveniently change the spacing of the reference markers 30 a-30 l to suit the particular image or zoom level that the user is working with. Of course, the reference marker density may also be automatically updated as the user changes zoom-level, if desired.
The processor 23 may also selectively display the reference markers 30 a-30 l with the 3D geospatial image, i.e., only display them when requested by the user. For example, this may be done based upon one of the input devices such as the keyboard 25. More particularly, a specific key(s) on the keyboard 25 may be assigned for causing the processor 23 to display the reference markers 30 a-30 l when pressed or held down by the user (e.g., the space bar), and then "hide" the reference markers when the user releases the designated key(s). Of course, other methods may be used for instructing the processor 23 to display the reference markers 30 a-30 l (as well as performing the various functions described above), such as drop down menu items, buttons on a button bar, etc., as will be appreciated by those of skill in the art.
A three-dimensional (3D) geospatial image display method aspect will now be described with reference to FIG. 7. Beginning at Block 70, the method illustratively includes displaying a 3D geospatial image on the display 21 with a plurality of spaced-apart reference markers 30 a-30 l, at Block 72. As noted above, the reference markers 30 a-30 l preferably have different visual characteristics indicative of different relative positions within the 3D geospatial image (e.g., size, color, etc.).
The method may further include associating with each reference marker selectively displayable position data, at Block 74, as discussed further above. The processor 23 then cooperates with the mouse 24 and/or keyboard 25 to determine when a given reference marker 30 is selected, at Block 76. When this occurs, the processor 23 then performs the appropriate action, such as displaying the respective position data associated with the given reference marker 30, as noted above, at Block 78, thus concluding the illustrated method (Block 80).
The reference markers 30 a-30 l may be expanded to span an entire viewable scene (i.e., view frustum), or just portions thereof in different situations or implementations. Moreover, the reference markers 30 a-30 l may also advantageously be used to place pre-defined objects in the 3D scene, or to define entirely new objects by successively selecting markers, for example. Preferably the grid or matrix of reference markers 30 a-30 l will have a regular spacing by default. However, additional user or context-definable parameters may be used to automatically increase the sphere density in certain areas causing the dynamic increasing and decreasing of the grid density to be non-uniform or even non-linear throughout the extent of the grid, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art.
Operational details of one exemplary embodiment of the computer system 20 will now be described to provide still further understanding. The keyboard 25 spacebar brings in (i.e. overlays) the matrix of reference markers 30 a-30 l (i.e., spheres), which are appropriately sized to match the context, over the whole image scene or some portion thereof. The keyboard 25 and/or joystick may be used to move the camera view around in the scene. Further, a scroll wheel on the mouse 24 dynamically increases/decreases the matrix density (i.e., inter-sphere spacing). Optionally, the dynamic grid density adjustment does not necessarily need to be uniform or linear across entire matrix/grid, as noted above.
Each time the mouse pointer 32 mouse moves over a selectable reference sphere, (a) if there is a ground surface portion below the sphere, a straight vertical reference line 35 is automatically drawn to the ground 31 to show exactly over what ground point that sphere lies, and (b) if the scene is within a GIS context (i.e. has an origin), the latitude/longitude/height coordinates of the

Mystic — Yellow Pink has always been an inconsistent molter.
But last summer, when the 14-year-old male African penguin shed his waterproof feathers, they never grew back.
That's when penguin trainers at Mystic Aquarium began to worry that Yellow Pink would get cold in the 65-degree water of the exhibit where he and the other penguins swim.
So they fashioned him a 3 mm wet suit out of a piece of an old diving wet suit, with openings for his flippers and a Velcro closure. The suit now allows Yellow Pink to go in the water without getting chilled.
"He's done really well with it. It hasn't affected his swimming or movement," said assistant trainer Josh Davis Friday afternoon, as Yellow Pink stood still while Davis put his wings through the two holes and secured the Velcro closure. He then began to waddle around.
Yellow Pink — aquarium penguins are named after the identifying beads they wear — did not go swimming Friday, as all the aquarium's penguins are kept inside when the air temperature drops below 26 degrees. The penguins are native to the more temperate climate of South Africa, not Antarctica.
Yellow Pink is the first penguin at the aquarium to experiencee "premature feather loss," a rare condition that Davis said few other aquariums have experienced.
In 2007, a children's book called "Pierre the Penguin" was published about an African penguin at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco who had the same problem. He would not swim because of the cold and was shunned by his fellow penguins. When he began wearing a wet suit, he was accepted back into the group.
Davis said Yellow Pink will continue to wear his wet suit until he grows new feathers, though it is not clear when that will happen.
According to the aquarium, the penguins' dense coat of 70 feathers per square inch are coated with an oil they produce from a gland near the base of their tail.
Davis said that underneath the feathers, the penguins have a layer of gray downy feathers that keep them warm. In Yellow Pink's case, the gray feathers are now exposed and get wet.
"It's sort of like wearing a wet fleece," he said.
The wet suit, though, traps a thin layer of water against the penguin's body, which is then heated by the bird's body temperature.
Davis said the trainers know the wet suit is working because when they remove it from Yellow Pink, warm water runs off it.
He said that even though the wet suit makes Yellow Pink more buoyant, it has not affected his ability to swim and dive, which visitors to the exhibit can watch.


Tyco Electronics Corp. unveils its High Resolution Radar (HRR) for the next generation of "Smart Bumpers."
Tyco says its system offers significant advantages over ultrasonic sensing systems, including greater range, higher resolution between objects and important styling advantages.
HRR works by transmitting a short pulse into a desired area. This energy is reflected off objects within 66 ft. (20.1 m) and returns. The travel time of the signal determines the range of the object.
The HRR system can "see through" plastic fascias commonly used on vehicles, eliminating the need for stylists to contend with unsightly external ultrasonic sensors.

The weight coefficients of the diaphragm spring depend on experiences in the traditional optimization. However, this method not only cannot guarantee the optimal solution but it is also not universal. Therefore, a new optimization target function is proposed. The new function takes the minimum of average compress force changing of the spring and the minimum force of the separation as total objectives. Based on the optimization function, the result of the clutch diaphragm spring in a car is analyzed by the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and the solution set of Pareto is obtained. The results show that the pressing force of the diaphragm spring is improved by 4.09%by the new algorithmand the steering separation force is improved by 6.55%, which has better stability and steering portability. The problem of the weight coefficient in the traditional empirical design is solved. The pressing force of the optimized diaphragm spring varied slightly during the abrasion range of the friction film, and the manipulation became remarkably light.

Online: 26 January 2022 (14:02:22 CET)
Due to production space and operating environment requirements, mine production equipment often breaks down, which seriously affects the mine's production schedule. To ensure the smooth completion of the haulage operation plan under abnormal conditions, a model of the haulage equipment rescheduling plan based on the random simulation of equipment breakdowns is established in this paper. The model aims to accomplish both the maximum completion rate of the original mining plan and the minimum fluctuation of the ore grade during the rescheduling period. This model is optimized by improving the wolf colony algorithm and changing the location update formula of the individuals in the wolf colony. Then, the optimal model solution can be used to optimize the rescheduling of the haulage plan by considering equipment breakdowns. The application of the proposed method in an underground mine revealed that the completion rate of the mine's daily mining plan reached 83.40% without increasing the number of the equipment, while and the ore quality was stable. Moreover, the improved optimization algorithm converged fast and was characterized by high robustness.

Online: 18 October 2021 (13:12:29 CEST)
Under the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, the carbon emission reduction of the automobile industry has attracted more and more attention in recent years. Electric vehicle has the dual attributes of power load and energy storage unit. With the increase of the number of electric vehicles, reducing carbon emissions through the collaborative interaction between electric vehicle and power network will become an important way to control carbon emissions in the automotive field. In this study, an optimization model of emission reduction benefits based on integrated development of electric vehicle and power grid is proposed, which explores the best technical way of synergy between power grid and electric vehicle, achieves the best carbon reduction effect and provides a model basis for large-scale demonstration application. Numerical simulations based on the real case in Beijing are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Subject: Mathematics & Computer Science, General & Theoretical Computer Science Keywords: multi agent systems; high-dimensional; optimization; email spam; metaheuristic algorithms
Online: 26 January 2020 (08:25:07 CET)
There exist numerous high-dimensional problems in the real world which cannot be solved through the common traditional methods. The metaheuristic algorithms have been developed as successful techniques for solving a variety of complex and difficult optimization problems. Notwithstanding their advantages, these algorithms may turn out to have weak points such as lower population diversity and lower convergence rate when facing complex high-dimensional problems. An appropriate approach to solve such problems is to apply multi-agent systems along with the metaheuristic algorithms. The present paper proposes a new approach based on the multi-agent systems and the concept of agent, which is named Multi-Agent Metaheuristic (MAMH) method. In the proposed approach, several basic and powerful metaheuristic algorithms, including Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Firefly Algorithm (FA), Bat Algorithm (BA), Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA), Gray Wolf Optimizer (GWO), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), Crow Search Algorithm (CSA), Farmland Fertility Algorithm (FFA), are considered as separate agents each of which sought to achieve its own goals while competing and cooperating with others to achieve the common goals. In overall, the proposed method was tested on 32 complex benchmark functions, the results of which indicated effectiveness and powerfulness of the proposed method for solving the high-dimensional optimization problems. In addition, in this paper, the binary version of the proposed approach, called Binary MAMH (BMAMH), was executed on the spam email dataset. According to the results, the proposed method exhibited a higher precision in detection of the spam emails compared to other metaheuristic algorithms and methods.

Online: 19 July 2021 (15:05:38 CEST)
General Linear Modelling (GLM) has been widely employed to estimate the hemodynamic changes evoked by cognitive processing, which are more likely to be nonlinear than linear. First, this study re-analyzed the fNIRS data (N = 38, Mage = 5.0 years, SD = 0.69 years, 17 girls) collected in the Mixed-Order Design Dimensional Change Card Sort (DCCS) task. The results indicated that the quadratic equation was better than GLM to model HbO changes in this task. Second, analysis of a new set of data indicated that the Habit-DisHabit design of DCCS was more effective in identifying the neural correlates of cognitive shifting than the Mixed-Order Design. Third, this study found that the Non-users were more attentive and engaged than the Heavy-users, with a slower but more steady increase of brain activation in BA8 and BA9.

This study aims to examine the impact of tablet use on preschoolers' executive function during the Dimensional Change Card Sort Task (DCCS) task using the functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Altogether 38 Chinese preschoolers (Mage = 5.0 years, SD = 0.69 years, 17 girls) completed the tasks before the COVID-19 lockdown. Eight children never used tablets, while 16 children were diagnosed as the 'heavy-user'. The results indicated that: (1) the 'Non-user' outperformed the 'Heavy-user' with a significantly higher correct rate in the DCCS task; (2) the two groups differed significantly in the activation of the prefrontal cortex (BA 9): the 'Non-user' pattern is normal and healthy, whereas the 'Heavy-user' pattern is not normal and needs further exploration.

The optimization of the production process of metal mines has been traditionally driven only by economic benefits while ignoring resource efficiency. However, it has become increasingly aware of the importance of resource efficiency since mineral resource reserves continue to decrease while the demand continues to grow. To better utilize the mineral resources for sustainable development, this paper proposes a multi-objective optimization model of the production process of metal mines considering both economic benefits and resource efficiency. Specifically, the goals of the proposed model are to maximize the profit and resource utilization rate. Then, the fast and elitist Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) is used to optimize the multi-objective optimization model. The proposed model has been applied to the optimization of the production process of a stage in the Huogeqi Copper Mine. The optimization results provide a set of Pareto-optimal solutions that can meet varying needs of decision makers


text: A novel signaling scheme for iterative channel estimation and data decoding is proposed. In the proposed scheme, the occurrence probability of transmitted symbols is biased. A priori information about the bias is utilized for the initial channel estimation. The proposed scheme is based on parallel concatenation of two biased convolutional codes (BCCs), which are constructed as systematic recursive convolutional codes with state-dependent puncturing. The BCCs can be regarded as a joint coding scheme that determines the insertion positions of pilot symbols according to information bits. The proposed scheme is numerically shown to outperform conventional pilot-based schemes in the waterfall region, while it is inferior to the conventional schemes in the error-floor region.

Harry Potter was wary as he walked into Potions class with his friends that morning. The first day of class Professor Snape had embarrassed Harry by showing his ignorance of all things magical and Harry couldn't figure out why Snape seemed to hate him so much.
That morning Snape did not disappoint Harry, he asked how Harry would begin making a truth potion and Harry retorted that he would probably pull out the correct ingredients from his potions kit and begin blending them but since he had just found out he was magical the day before school started he hadn't the slightest notion of what that would be.
He got detention but Snape refrained from picking on him the rest of the day!!

Summary: Isolated magnetic fields are used extensively in solid state physics, medical physics, and chemistry. These magnetic fields are often generated in wire loops with Biot-Savart law relating the time-dependent current flowing to a dynamic magnetic field. However, physical wires constrain the magnitude, the time-dependence, and the dimensions of the fields.
Controlled currents can be optically injected into semiconductors, dielectrics, gases, or plasmas using coherent control – the perturbative or non-perturbative interference of quantum pathways from an initial state to a final state in the material itself. Like their wire counterparts, these material currents create fields, but with different constraints than those generated by physical wires.
Optical injection allows the spatial dimensions to be confined to the focal volume of a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) pulse (~100 nm) while the rise time of the current is determined by the femtosecond pulse duration of the exciting beams. Furthermore, since the magnitude and direction of these currents are controlled by interference, the motion of the charge carriers can be controlled with a spatial-light modulator. I will describe how we measure current in GaAs and the dynamic near-field magnetic structure that Maxwell's equations imply. I will also describe the space-time coupled field that is radiated (sometimes called a "flying doughnut") and measured by electro-optic sampling. I will conclude with a space-time measurement of the linear electronic spectrum of water vapor in the THz spectral region.

Donate now to keep our Light Horse name alive.
Your donation is very much appreciated.
1901 began the first century of Australian Federation. One enduring legend developed from the beginning of this new nation to take its place as an icon of Australian history, that is, the Australian Light Horse. Formed in 1903 from a long series of state traditions reaching back many decades, the Light Horse is closely identified with the values to which most Australians aspire and so strikes an formidable chord within the national narrative. With this movement came the various Australian themes of mateship, lending a hand, and specific symbols such as the Charge at Beersheba and the use of emu plumes in the felt hat. As time progressed, the Light Horsemen seem to have taken on a mythical quality that transcends the reality of their story. The Australian Light Horse Studies Centre was established to peel away these legends and present an accurate description about this era. Through careful scholarship this site aims to provide people who have an interest in this particular phase of Australian history an ability to meet with the historical Light Horsemen and so gain a clear version of the life lead by these men, their families and the society in which they lived during the formative period from 1899 to 1920. It is through accurate commentary that these folk gain their honour and well deserved place within the Australian Story.

text: Some purists (usually philosophers) object to the use of "beg the question" to mean "raise [or pose] the question." Philosophers don't own this expression, and they come across as arrogant jerks when they object to its use by nonphilosophers. Like "negligence" in law and "mass" in physics, it has both a generic, everyday meaning and a specific, technical meaning. The context almost always disambiguates. My philosophical colleagues should ease up. Meaning is use.

The concentrations of mercury (Hg) and methyl mercury (MeHg) in sediment and tissues of Barbus grypus and Barbus esocinus fish species from Musa estuary, north part of the Persian Gulf, were measured. The order of Hg and MeHg concentrations in the sediment and tissues of the fish species was as follows: liver > gill > muscle > sediment. In the tissues of two fish species, the Hg and MeHg concentrations were highest in liver whereas lowest in the muscle. In the sediment, mean concentrations of Hg and MeHg were 0.83 and 0.437 µg g−1. Mean concentrations of Hg and MeHg in B. grypus were 1.2–0.624 µg g−1 and in all tissues of B. esocinus were 0.75 and 0.421 µg g−1. Significant correlation between heavy metal concentration in sediment and fish may be related to high variability of heavy metal in the sediment.

The Determinants of Debt Maturity at Issuance: A System-Based Model
We examine the determinants of corporate debt maturity while taking into account the interdependent relation between maturity and leverage. We do this by estimating a simultaneous-equations model on debt maturity and leverage for a sample of bond-issuing firms. To compare with previous studies, we also estimate a single-equation model on debt maturity using OLS. We define debt maturity as either the maturity of bonds at issuance (incremental approach), or the percentage of a firm's total debt that matures in more than three years (balance-sheet approach). Corroborating the findings of many previous studies, our single-equation OLS results support the underinvestment hypothesis purporting that firms with greater growth opportunities have shorter-term debt. However, under the simultaneous-equations model, the negative relation between a firm's debt maturity and its growth opportunities ceases to hold. Instead, it is the leverage decision that is influenced by growth opportunities. This suggests that existing models may overestimate the effect of growth opportunities on debt maturity.

|Beyond Awareness Raising: Community Lessons about Improving Responses to HIV/AIDS|
AUTHOR: International HIV/AIDS Alliance
"Community Lessons, Global Learning" is a partnership between the International HIV/AIDS Alliance and Glaxo Wellcome's Positive Action programme. This first report shares lessons about responding to HIV/AIDS between communities, countries and continents. Although the primary focus of the document is on community responses to HIV/AIDS, Section 5 of the report discusses gender, sexuality and sexual health. The "Community Lessons, Global Learning" programme - and, therefore, this report - draws lessons from the Alliance's experience in supporting HIV/AIDS prevention and care strategies which deals with the provision of information and raising awareness about the epidemic.

Nasal Contour You Have Always Wanted
Do you want a straighter, higher and more defined nose without any surgery? Thanks to the new technology, the nose can now be augmented non-surgically using polydioxanone (PDO) threads that are 100% bio-compatible and absorbable by our bodies.
A non-surgical nose job can address aesthetic concerns including, but not limited to:
- a droopy tip, perhaps caused by aging
- a small tip
- a bumpy bridge
- a flat bridge
What Does a PDO Thread Nose-Lift Involve?
After the initial consultation and treatment plan, local anaesthetic is injected into the treatment area. Using a cannula or micro-needle, the fine PDO threads will then be placed along the nasal bridge for the height and the septum to give projection to the nose. The threads are placed under the skin to achieve a higher and straighter nasal bridge, a sharper definition of nasal profile and a more defined nose tip.
The number of threads required varies according to your individual needs. An initial consult with the experts at Equinox is required to determine the current shape of the nose and the desired outcome before we can decide the number of threads required.
When Will I See the Results and How Long Will the Results Last?
Results are immediately visible as the threads provide the scaffold for the nose. The results can last up to 12-18 months.

How Can Oracle Be Applied in Education Today?
oracle database, database software, Oracle in Education, Oracle in Education, Education Today
Information Technology has literally taken over every sector of the industry today. Computers and computerized devices are used in manufacturing, healthcare, and research, food processing and even education. I.T. resources such as laptops, tablets, Smartphone, intelligent circuits, Wi-Fi transmitters and more are utilized every day to run companies, industrial plants and organizations too. These I.T. resources are divided into hardware and software resources. One of the software resources used is the Oracle database. It is used to store information for future editing, viewing, and retrieval. The Oracle database is used in organizations as well as education centers. Why is it preferred over other database software in the market? Read on to find out.
Characteristics of Oracle database software
Oracle database software can run on all operating software platforms. Examples of these are Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX. It is also compatible with all standard protocols of networking. This database software satisfies all the industry standards applied in the technology sector. Moreover, developers can expect full support in the Oracle database software from manufacturers. This is essential in adding or adjusting the available features of this database software. Oracle also allows online backups for the latest versions. You can cover all the stages of a database development cycle.
Oracle is also capable of storing large databases. Moreover, it can support both numbers and alphanumeric characters in the data it stores. The databases created with Oracle are object-oriented in nature. As a result, this software is versatile and can be applied in companies, manufacturing plants and education facilities. Moreover, this database software allows the use of cursors. This makes it easier for developers to work with it. Security is a major feature in database software today. Oracle enforces this by dealing with each computer transaction independently. This secures the data that is involved in each transaction. Why is Oracle used for student learning computer concepts? Read on to find out.
Why Oracle can be used for education
This database exhibits concepts of database computing that students need to learn so as to fill roles such as being a remote oracle dba. These concepts include:
 1. Consistency
 2. Atomicity
 3. Durability
 4. Isolation
Consistency of data
For a database to stay secure, it needs to be consistent. This means that it should move from one valid state to another without compromising the integrity of the data stored in it. Oracle exhibits this characteristic. Thus, it is used to educate students on the database creation concept.
Atomicity of data
The data involved in a database transaction is viewed by the system as one unit. In this way, the results of a transaction can only take one of two forms. It can be rolled back in its entirety or committed fully. There is no half-way point. This is atomicity of data. It is an important concept of databases that students can learn from Oracle.
Durability of data
After a database transaction is complete, the results are durable. This means that they are able to survive various conditions such as system failure or viral infection. The results of the transactions in an Oracle database are durable and secure. This is another concept that students can learn using Oracle database software.
Isolation of data
The Oracle database program handles each data transaction independently. None is visible to the other or even to other users of the same database. A transaction can only be viewed after it is complete. This is a feature that contributes to data security.
In addition to the above concepts, there are other reasons why Oracle can be used in an educational setting.
Ability to perform effective error correction
This database software allows you to recovery your data efficiently in case of human error. This error can be incorrect entry or improper editing. Oracle saves multiple instances of a database. Therefore, human error can be corrected by backing up to the latest instance.
Ability to perform data recovery
The nature of saving multiple instances of a database also contributes to faster recover of Oracle databases. In case of resource corruption or system failure, you can restore your database by activating the most recently saved instance.
It has a short learning curve
Oracle has a short, comfortable learning curve. Its concepts are easy to grasp. Moreover, it is built such that it can be easily used in various organizations. This makes it ideal database software to use for teaching data storage concepts to students.
Research Methodology
Every year our worldwide group of specialists leads a yearly study of thousands of big business programming sellers by reaching them legitimately on their most recent quarterly and yearly incomes by nation, practical zone, and vertical market. We supplement their composed reactions with our own essential research to decide quarterly and yearly development rates, notwithstanding client wins to find out whether these are net new buys or extensions of existing usage.
Another component of our proactive research procedure is through nonstop improvement of our client database, which stores more than one million records on the venture programming scene of more than 100,000 associations around the globe.
The database gives client knowledge and logical data on what kinds of big business programming frameworks and other significant advancements are they running and their affinity to contribute further with their present or new providers as a major aspect of their general IT change undertakings to remain aggressive, fight off dangers from problematic powers, or agree to inner commands to improve by and large endeavor productivity.
The outcome is a mix of stock side information and request age client knowledge that enables our customers to more readily situate themselves fully expecting the following wave that will reshape the endeavor programming commercial center for quite a long time to come.
Today, it is necessary to teach students some of the fundamentals of I.T. These are the creation, storage and access of data. This is done using database software such as Oracle. A number of reasons why this particular software is effective in education are indicated above. They are comprehensive and applicable in any student facility teaching I.T.
Author's Bio: Andrew Thompson is a remote oracle dba. He has been in this position for five years. In addition to maintaining Oracle databases for organizations, he also teaches the system to students. The characteristics of Oracle normally prepare students for the demanding world of data maintenance. Andrew made a valid contribution to this report.

This book demonstrates that trade-offs can be very important for conservationists. Its various chapters show how and why trade-offs are made, and why conservationists need to think very hard about what, if anything, to do about them. The book argues that conservationists must carefully weigh up, and be explicit about, the trade-offs that they make every day in deciding what to save.
- Discusses the wider non-biological issues that surround making decisions about which species and biogeographic areas to prioritise for conservation
- Focuses on questions such as: What are these wider issues that are influencing the decisions we make? What factors need to be included in our assessment of trade-offs? What package of information and issues do managers need to consider in making a rational decision? Who should make such decisions?
- Part of the Conservation Science and Practice book series
This volume is of interest to policy-makers, researchers, practitioners and postgraduate students who are concerned about making decisions that include recognition of trade-offs in conservation planning.
