Torque Calculator & Formula
Torque calculator is used to find the value of torque which arises from a rotating object. Try to imagine an object which rotates around a specific point. This is the pivot point. If you happen to exert any force (torque) from a distance away from the pivot point, even though the force acts along a straight line, the object will start rotating. Let's cover details about torque, how to use this calculator, how to find torque using the torque formula, and more.

How to use the torque calculator?
This is a simple online calculator which only requires two values for it to perform calculations. It's easy to use, accurate, and easy to understand as well. Here are the steps to follow when using this online torque calculator:
 - First, enter the value of the Distance and choose the unit of measurement from the drop-down menu.
 - Then enter the value of the Force and choose the unit of measurement from the drop-down menu.
 - After entering both values, the calculator generates the value of Torque for you automatically.
What is torque in physics?
Torque refers to a measure of a force acting on any object which causes the object to start rotating. The object rotates around a certain point known as the pivot point. The distance from the point where torque acts to the pivot point is the "moment arm" or "r."
This moment art is also a vector and it points from the rotation axis to the point where torque acts. In other words, torque refers to the product between the moment arm "r" and the force vector "a" which is the angle between F and r.
When you use the right-hand rule, you can locate the direction of the torque vector. To do this, place your fingers in the direction of r. Then curl your fingers to the direction of F. After doing this, your thumb will point in torque vector's direction.
What causes torque?
As aforementioned, torque refers to a measure of any given force which causes an object to start rotating around an axis. In linear kinematics, the force causes the object to accelerate. Then torque is the one which causes the object to have an angular acceleration.
Torque is a kind of vector quantity. The direction of this torque vector would depend on the direction of the force on its axis. Without even realizing it, you're using torque every day. Every time you open a door, this gives you an insightful understanding of torque.
When you open any door, you tend to push on the part of the door that's farthest from its hinges. This is because when you push on the part of the door that's close to the hinges, you need more force to open it. Although you achieve the same goal either way, most people prefer to use less force. This is why you would see the handles of doors on this location.
Torque can either be dynamic or static. In racing cars, the drive shaft which accelerates from the starting line carries a dynamic torque. This is because it produces an angular acceleration of the racecar's wheels given that it accelerates along the road or track.
Conversely, static torque refers to a force which doesn't produce an acceleration that's angular. When someone pushes open a closed door, he applies static torque to it since the door it's rotating around its hinges despite the force that's applied to it. When you pedal a bike at a constant speed, you're also applying static torque since you're not accelerating.
A lot of people get confused with the terminology used to describe torque. Sometimes, engineers may utilize the terms "moment or force" or "moment" with the term torque interchangeably. But as long as you understand the principle behind torque, you won't get confused easily.
How is torque different from force?
Let's explain this concept in layman's terms to make it easier to understand. For this, let's have an example. For instance, there are two men on bicycles. The first man drives the bicycle while the second man pushes the bicycle from behind. In this case:
 - The first man who pedals the bicycle applies torque as he accelerates as it provides a rotational or circular movement.
 - The second man who pushed the bicycle uses energy to do the work uses force. Here, you can see that it requires work. However, not every force necessarily does work.
Force can exist on its own or as a torque. Some people consider torque as the counterpart of force in an angular motion. Torque has N-m as a unit of measurement while force has N as a unit of measurement. These are the common differences between torque and force.
What is the formula of torque?
The tendency of a given object to rotate or torque depends on a number of factors which you can see in the torque formula:
τ = r * F * sinΘ
r refers to the lever arm or the distance between the point of force application and the pivot point
F refers to the force that acts the object
Θ refers to the angle between the lever arm and force vector. Typically, the value of this is 90°
τ refers to the torque
Let's go back to the example of the door. In this case, the location of the pivot point is where the hinges of the door are. The closer you place your hand near the hinges of the door, the more force you need to push it open. But if you use the handle, the lever arm increases which makes it easier to open the door.
How do you increase torque in physics?
This would depend on what you want to increase the torque on. For instance, if you need to tighten a bolt and you need more torque, you should pick a tool with a longer arm as this increases the torque.
But in cases where you need to increase the torque of motors which are already running, you need to include a gear ratio which results in the decrease in the rotational speed while the torque increases.

improving DevRef 6.2.2
I'm thinking of submitting a bugreport against Developers-Reference
section 6.2.2, and would appreciate any input from d-l-e readers,
what with there being nothing else going on here at present.
# The synopsis line (the short description) should be concise. It
# must not repeat the package's name (this is policy).
That paragraph's fine.
# It's a good idea to think of the synopsis as an appositive clause,
# not a full sentence. An appositive clause is defined in WordNet as
# a grammatical relation between a word and a noun phrase that
# follows, e.g., "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer". The appositive
# clause here is "red-nosed reindeer".
If WordNet really defined "appositive clause" this way (I don't see
it would be wrong. A clause isn't a "relation", it's a syntactic
constituent. In particular, it's a constituent which must at a
minimum include a verb, and there's no verb here. You might use
"red-nosed reindeer" as part of a clause involving a Claus, but it
isn't an "appositive clause", it's an "appositive phrase".
Strictly speaking, "red-nosed reindeer" isn't a full "noun phrase",
either, once you've amputated its definite article. But what I'd
like to propose is that the DevRef should avoid trying to define
things like this; DDs don't need to know the jargon, they just need
a couple of examples and a rule of thumb.
# Since the synopsis is a clause, rather than a full sentence, we
# recommend that it neither start with a capital nor end with a full
# stop (period).
Apart from anything else, this is misleadingly phrased: the synopsis
_can_ begin with a capital letter, if for instance the first word is
"DNS". But it has already been pointed out that the synopsis isn't
a sentence; it follows that there's no need for sentential
punctuation (including sentential capitalisation).
I'd also reverse "full stop" and "period" here; the en_US term is
probably more widely recognised than its en_GB equivalent.
# It should also not begin with an article, either definite ("the")
# or indefinite ("a" or "an").
Dropping initial articles is a third independent rule - one of
writing style, rather than of correct grammar or punctuation. The
style we're aiming at for Debian package synopses is slightly more
concise than the style used for titles of works of fiction, where
initial articles are often but not always dropped ("[The] War of the
Worlds"); and it's slightly less telegraphic than newspaper headline
style, where other words may also be omitted ("MAN BITES DOG"). It
makes most sense when compared to other classificatory catalogues:
Platoon - war movie
Akira - subtitled Japanese animation
Life On Earth - natural history documentary
Unfortunately I can't think of any "canonical" examples of this
style. Any suggestions?
First draft replacement version of that paragraph:
The synopsis is an appositive phrase describing the package. Since
it isn't a complete sentence, sentential punctuation is
inappropriate: it does not need initial capitalization or a final
period (full stop). It should also omit any initial article,
either definite ("the") or indefinite ("a" or "an").
The rest of the section reads as follows:
# It might help to imagine that the synopsis is combined with the
# package name in the following way:
# package-name is a synopsis.
# Alternatively, it might make sense to think of it as
# package-name is synopsis.
# or, if the package name itself is a plural (such as
# package-name are synopsis.
# This way of forming a sentence from the package name and synopsis
# should be considered as a heuristic and not a strict rule. There
# are some cases where it doesn't make sense to try to form a
This is a surprisingly defeatist way of looking at it! To me it
seems easily within reach of a foolproof algorithmic check:
The package "$NAME" provides [the|a(n)|some] $SYNOPSIS.
Are there any (valid) synopses that don't fit this formula?

How much space do you have allocated for your project?
A simple measurement of length and wide of your allocated space plays a significant role in determining the right products for your project. The majority of the equipment on our site have a specified Safety Use Zone. This zone includes the space that the structure occupies AND the safety buffer space surrounding the equipment. Measurements will be listed as XX' x XX' (e.g. 22' Long x 24' Wide). The important item to note here is if your length and wide measurements are less than or equal to the Safety Use Zone specifications you can rest assured the equipment will "fit".
Calculate Your Square Footage
Use our calculator to convert a play structures Use Zone into square feet OR use it to help you calculate how much play space you have available. Simply enter a length and a width a click "Calculate Square Footage"
What is a Use Zone?
In order to ensure our playgrounds are properly designed to minimize safety risks, we meet or exceed applicable standards for playground safety use zones. The safety use zone is the minimum free space around a play structure required to meet Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and American Society for Testing and Materials International (ASTM) standards. Use zone measurements vary depending upon the type, elevation and intended use of the equipment.
Safety Use Zones are designated amounts of space the United States Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends between each type of playground equipment to ensure that children playing on your playground are not vulnerable to potential fall or collision injuries. Adhering to these guidelines when you choose your playground equipment and install it is important because it protects you from premises liability, and, in some locations, is a legal requirement. Below are some basic guidelines for determining your playground use zones:
Climbers should occupy a use zone that extends a minimum of 6' in all directions from the perimeter of the climber
This use zone can overlap with neighboring equipment when:
- Adjacent play surfaces are no more than 30" high OR
- There is at least 9' between equipment when adjacent designated play surfaces are more than 30" high
All slides should have an exit region to help children maintain their balance and facilitate a smooth transition from sitting to standing when exiting.
For Public Areas with Unlimited Access:
For Preschool and School
The use zone in front of and behind the swing should be greater than to the sides of such a swing since children may deliberately attempt to exit from a single-axis swing while it is in motion.
- Use zone in front and behind should be greater than to the sides of the swing to account for children jumping off the swing while in motion
- For a belt swing seat, front-to-back use zone should allow twice the vertical distance from the pivot point to the top of the protective surfacing below
- For a full bucket swing seat, the minimum front-to-back use zone should be twice the vertical distance from the top of the occupant's sitting surface to the pivot point
- Side-to side-use zone should be a minimum of 6 feet from the perimeter of the swing
- Front-to-back use zones for swings should not overlap with any other use zone
- Side-to-side use zones may overlap that of an adjacent swing structure or other play structure


Seven Hanging Valleys Circular
The Seven Hanging Valleys Trail is a waymarked walk which follows the high cliffs between Praia Marinha and Praia Vale de Centeanes. This circular route is for those who want to tackle the often challenging 5.7km trail to Praia Vale de Centeanes but would prefer a less demanding return to Praia Marinha (the promoted route is linear). If clear turquoise waters, crashing waves and unspoilt beaches are not your 'thing' then focus instead on the many fascinating geological features along the route, including caves, arches and stacks. Stare down into the numerous (and fenced) sinkholes and listen to the sound of the ocean far below.
There are illustrated information boards along the way explaining how erosion has moulded this limestone landscape, as well as information about local flora and fauna. Walk highlights include Benagil, a beach which is consistently voted among the most beautiful in Europe; and the Farol de Alfanzina (a 23-metre lighthouse built in 1920 and still in operation today).

How to Fix Guitar Mistakes Effectively
We all make mistakes as we learn guitar. The way we deal with them can make a big difference to how well we progress. Here's a technique that can improve your ability to fix playing mistakes and progress to new levels of guitar playing.
What Do You Do With Your Mistakes?
What do you do when you make a mistake? If you're anything like me then most of the time you simply repeat the passage in the hope it will somehow go away with time. But this is not necessarily the most effective approach. You might have noticed that you can practice a mistake like this for a long time before you get rid of it.
A more effective approach is to face our mistakes and deal with them in a systematic way. Here's one system that I've found gives good results.
Acknowledge Your Mistake
Start to deal with your mistake by acknowledging it and the frustration it causes you. Often, we give these little mistakes almost no attention, we simply restart the exercise again.
But when you take a moment to acknowledge the mistake it becomes more real. You begin to really notice its existence and in turn you can start to deal with it. Without an acknowledgement you can't treat the mistake seriously to find solutions to it.
Once you acknowledge the mistake take a moment to think about the frustration it causes you. Then let go of this frustration. Tell yourself that the mistake is not part of you, it's simply a problem to change as you learn guitar.
Figure Out A Solution
Once you've acknowledged your mistake to make it real and let go of the frustration it causes you take a pen and paper and answer three questions to figure out how you will stop making this mistake.
1. Ask yourself why you make the mistake.
Play the bar where you make it and pay close attention to what happens. What exactly is going wrong?
Identify the finger that is not in the right place at the right time. Maybe your arm is in the wrong position, or maybe the problem is in your mind which is not clear about exactly where you are going.
2. Write down what you need to do differently to avoid this mistake.
Write down exactly what you need to do differently to fix the problem you identified. Include enough detail that you can really "see" the solution in your mind.
3. Write down how you will do what you need to.
OK, so now you know what you want to do differently, but how are you going to get there? You need to make a change, a change that eliminates the problem and replaces it with correct movements.
Maybe you need to practice the movement in a particular way to isolate and fix the problem. Maybe you need to do some visualization exercises to get the right movement firmly fixed in your mind. Whatever it is you plan to do to fix the problem, write it down.
Implement The Solution
Keep your answers someplace you can review them regularly, at least once per day. Fix the solution firmly in your mind so when practice time rolls around you know exactly what to do to fix your mistake.
Simply repeating an exercise that causes a mistake in the hope it will go away might eventually cure it. But it is not the most effective solution. To fix playing mistakes fast and effectively make a conscious effort to understand them and develop a solution. Try this approach on your next mistake and discover how much time you can save yourself.

The Educational Policy of Aoyama Gakuin
The Mission of Aoyama Gakuin University
Aoyama Gakuin School Motto
Jesus Christ spoke of "the salt of the earth" and "the light of the world," but this was a proclamation rather than an exhortation. Aoyama Gakuin is founded on the basis of the proclamation that your life is of inestimable value.
The Salt of the Earth: Salt adds taste, prevents spoilage and is used for purification. The human body needs a 0.7% concentration salt and we must consume 10–15 grams a day to live. This school will continue to produce individuals who strive to contribute significantly to society, resist corruption, and purify its degradation with creativity and humility.
 Light provides brightness and warmth. Light leads people like a guiding light at a lighthouse, and it also disinfects and nourishes. In the same way, this school will forthrightly endeavor to create a robust and energetic society, igniting the spark of hope.
In contrast to its literal meanings, earth and world stand for "a world without God" and "the loss of human dignity." Hence, as the individuals who make up Aoyama Gakuin we are blessed by God as "Salt" and "Light," and we will strive to fulfill our purpose.


Mary Toft: The Woman Who Birthed Rabbits
CW: Miscarriage.
In 1726, when the rest of the country were dealing with periodic harvest failures and outbursts of influenza and smallpox, Mary Toft sat at home in Godalming, Surrey and gave birth to rabbits. Within months, she convinced countless doctors and even the King of the legitimacy of her litter, giving birth to bunnies 17 times.
In 1720, Mary married Joshua Toft and the couple had three healthy children together. However, in 1726, when Mary became pregnant again, all was not well.
Miscarriages were commonplace in the 18thcentury, not least because of a lack of healthcare and formal advice, but because many working class women were forced to continue their work – often hard labour – throughout their pregnancy.
Sadly, Mary miscarried her baby. Then aged 25, she gave birth to several clumps of viscera. These were of varying size, one which was said to be 'as big as my arm'. This suggests that Mary's pregnancy was simply not viable, as she developed severe abnormalities of the placenta.
However, what Mary saw in the miscarriage was far from human; she believed herself to have birthed several animal parts. A neighbour was called who examined the parts, baffled, and showed her family. They then passed under the scrutiny of local midwives who were dubious of their origin, but could offer no explanation. The pieces were lastly sent to local midwife John Howard, who had thirty years' experience in the field. He initially dismissed Toft as foolish but visited her the next day, where she fell ill and went into labour once more. She then gave birth to several more animal parts, predominantly rabbit.
Mary's family called upon a local surgeon, John Howard, who keenly investigated the matter.
Mary's pregnancy plight was far from over as, upon Howard's arrival, he assisted her in delivering more animal parts. According to the surgeon, he retrieved 'three legs of a Cat of a Tabby Colour, and one leg of a Rabbet: the guts were as a Cat's and in them were three pieces of the Back-Bone of an Eel. The cat's feet supposed were formed in her imagination from a cat she was fond of that slept on the bed at night." [1]This would suggest that Toft claimed that the births were as a result of some form of mental manifestation; her dreams becoming flesh in her womb.
John Maubray, a famous physician, was particularly pleased with Mary's plight. In his work, The Female Physician, Maubray proposed that women could give birth to non-human children, which he named 'sooterkin'. He believed in the power of 'maternal impression', in that sooterkin came about through the dreams and thoughts of the expectant mother. He subsequently warned women not to become too fond of, or over-familiar with, household pets during pregnancy, lest their children resemble those pets. Through Mary's animal births, for a short period, Maubray's theory was somewhat vindicated.
As reported in Mists Weekly Journal, 19thNovember 1726,
However, for Mary, her experiences in hellish maternity had just begun. Shortly thereafter, Mary gave birth to nine dead baby rabbits. The visiting surgeon soon made sure to notify other prominent physicians including Nathanial St. André, personal surgeon to the house of King George I.
St. André and Howard exchanged several letters recounting the experiences, some of which were bound into St. André's pamphlet, 'A short narrative of an extraordinary delivery of rabbets' (1727)
I am, Sir, Your humble Servant,
John Howard.[13]
St. André later details how he examined one of the resulting rabbits. To test if the rabbit had developed fully and had functioning lungs, he placed a piece of its lung in water to see if it would float, which it duly did. After examining Toft once more, the doctor deduced that the rabbits had been bread in her fallopian tubes and the peasant woman had most certainly not been inserting carcasses into herself.
By this point, Toft had made quite a name for herself with her insane births and London's great and good were clamouring for news of her latest feats.
The political writer John Hervey later wrote to his friend Henry Fox, saying:
Under the watch of the king, St. André keenly studied Toft and professed her uterine plight to be legitimate. However, unsure of St. André's judgement, he also sent fellow surgeon, Cyriacus Ahlers, to investigate the rabbit-birthing woman of Surrey.
When brought to London and thoroughly examined, Toft failed to birth any more animals, despite going into labour several times. On the 4thDecember, Toft's miraculous births were exposed. Thomas Onslow was one of many others investigating Toft's claims, but the first to look beyond the medical. Onslow dug a little deeper into Mary's family and saw that her husband had recently been buying a lot of young rabbits. Believing he had enough evidence to expose the fraud, he wrote to a colleague, saying he would soon publish his findings. However, the same day, a porter confessed to being bribed by Mary's sister-in-law to smuggle a rabbit into Toft's room.
Under interrogation, Mary held fast in her story, completely denying the accusation. Her sister-in-law was not so steadfast and confessed to smuggling the rabbit, albeit only for food.
After days of prolonged questioning, Manningham, another surgeon, said he believed that something remained in Toft's uterus and that a painful operation would be necessary. On the 7thDecember, surrounded by investigating surgeons, Toft confessed. It had all been a hoax.
Toft had indeed had a miscarriage, yet while her cervix was still dilated, the feet and body of a cat and the head of a rabbit had been inserted within her. For all later births, smaller animal parts had simply been inserted into her vagina. Together, they had also concocted a story that while working in a field, Mary had become startled by a rabbit which began an obsession that lasted throughout her pregnancy.
Her confessions were extensive and inconsistent, blaming family and midwives alike. Most interestingly, she claimed that a travelling woman had told her how to insert rabbits into her body and that the trick would ensure wealth.
The shockwaves from her exposure rippled across the country for months to come. Toft may have been a laughing stock, but the medical professionals who believed her deception were subjected to intense public mockery. Many careers were thoroughly tarnished and satirists were provided with material for months. Famously, artist and social critic William Hogarth created an etching titled, 'Cuniculrii' (combining the latin words for 'rabbit' and 'vulva') or 'Credulity, superstition and fanaticism', whereby London doctors are seen tending to Toft in labour as baby rabbits scamper across the floor.
On 7thJanuary 1727, Mary appeared at the Courts of Quarter Sessions and Westminster, charged 'for being an abominable cheat and imposter in pretending to be delivered of several monstrous births.' Despite all that faced her, she remained silent throughout and refused to further comment during her trial.
After spending four months in jail, in a public-facing cell, Toft was eventually released without charge and returned home to Surrey. Back in Godalming, she lived a life of relative obscurity before dying at the age of 60 in 1763.
Upon her death, the parish recorded her as, 'Mary Toft, Widow, The Impostress Rabbitt.'

Superconducting materials exhibiting topological properties are emerging as an exciting platform to realize fundamentally new excitations from topological quantum states of matter. In this letter, we explore the possibility of a field-free platform for generating Majorana zero energy excitations by depositing magnetic Fe impurities on the surface of candidate topological superconductors, LiFeAs and PbTaSe2. We use scanning tunneling microscopy to probe localized states induced at the Fe adatoms on the atomic scale and at sub-Kelvin temperatures. We find that each Fe adatom generates a striking zero-energy bound state inside the superconducting gap, which do not split in magnetic fields up to 8 T, underlining a nontrivial topological origin. Our findings point to magnetic Fe adatoms evaporated on bulk superconductors with topological surface states for exploring Majorana zero modes and quantum information science under field-free conditions.

How do you know if you have herpes in your eye?
What are the symptoms of herpes eye disease?Eye redness.Eye pain.Tearing.More sensitivity to light.Headache.Feeling that something is in the eye.Rash with blisters on the eyelids.Painful sore on eyelid or eye surface.More items….
What does herpes really look like?
In oral herpes, most blisters appear on the lips or mouth. They can also form elsewhere on the face, especially around the chin and below the nose, or on the tongue. At first, the sores look similar to small bumps or pimples before developing into pus-filled blisters. These may be red, yellow or white.
Does herpes make you smell?
It's most common to have discharge when you're having other symptoms like sores. This liquid also tends to happen along with a strong smell that many people with herpes describe as "fishy." This smell usually gets stronger or more pungent after having sex.
Is herpes in the eye contagious?
Are herpes simplex eye infections contagious? Herpes simplex usually doesn't spread to the other eye, and spreading the virus to another person is unlikely. If you have an extremely weak immune system, the virus may spread to other parts of your body such as the retina or the brain, but not to another person.
Can eye herpes make you blind?
The infection usually heals without damaging the eye, but more severe infections can lead to scarring of the cornea or blindness. HSV keratitis is a major cause of blindness worldwide 1. HSV-1, which is the type of HSV that also causes cold sores on the mouth, is the most common cause of corneal infections.
What are the stages of herpes?
Stage 1: Tingling and itching occurs about 24 hours before blisters erupt. Stage 2: Fluid-filled blisters appear. Stage 3: The blisters burst, ooze, and form painful sores. Stage 4: The sores dry out and scab over causing itching and cracking.
Is eye herpes rare?
Inflammation and infection at one of the anatomic levels of the cornea is most common. Usually, only one eye is involved (and it can recur), often without typical skin lesions. Spreading the infection to another person is unlikely and sexual transmission of herpes eye disease is extremely rare.
Does herpes keratitis go away?
Keratitis caused by a virus or bacterium tends to get better relatively quickly. Herpes keratitis and bacterial keratitis are treated with antiviral medication or antibiotics. Keratitis caused by other viruses usually gets better on their own within a few days.
How did I get herpes in my eye?
Herpes simplex eye infections usually occur when a previous infection with the virus reactivates and spreads to the eye. Nearly everyone is exposed to the herpes simplex virus during childhood. Most people will not notice this because there are often no symptoms.
Can something look like herpes but not be herpes?
Contact Dermatitis Can Be Mistaken for Herpes Contact dermatitis is a skin condition that can cause red, itchy, cracked, dry, or scaly skin, blisters, or a rash. Like herpes, it recurs, and while it's not an STD, when it appears in the mouth or genital area, it may be mistaken for herpes.
Can herpes be a single bump?
The active herpes virus has passed from the nerves to the skin. When the virus is in the skin, single bumps or clusters of fluidfilled bumps may appear. These bumps can be very small. If they are around the anus or on the buttocks, they can be difficult to see.
What can be mistaken for herpes?
Herpes symptoms can be mistaken for many other things, including:A different STI which causes visible lesions, such as Syphilis or genital warts (HPV)Irritation caused by shaving.Ingrown hairs.Bacterial vaginosis (BV)Pimples.Yeast infections.Haemorrhoids.Bug bites.
Does herpes make you smell bad?
Genital herpes is a type of sexually transmitted viral infection. Most people who acquire it develop no symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they may include: smelly discharge from the genitals.
Would I know if I had herpes?
The most common symptoms of genital herpes is a group of itchy or painful blisters on your vagina, vulva, cervix, anus, penis, scrotum (balls), butt, or the inside of your thighs. The blisters break and turn into sores. You might have these other symptoms too: burning when you pee if your urine touches the herpes sores.
Is eye herpes curable?
Although eye herpes is not curable, you can minimize damage to your eyesight during outbreaks. At the first sign of symptoms, call your doctor. The sooner you treat your eye herpes, the less chance there'll be significant damage to your cornea.


A way forward: Higher volume, smaller scale projects?
A conundrum for governments the world over is the increasing demand for infrastructure investment. Unfortunately, insufficient treasury funds are a common hurdle when trying to meet such a growing demand. At the same time, private finance investment markets are experiencing an increasing need to find additional infrastructure investment opportunities.
Common economic theory would dictate that combining these two issues should close the infrastructure investment gap. That has been achieved somewhat by the introduction of the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) investment models, but unfortunately the gap still remains. Closing this gap requires more pipeline opportunities to be presented to the private investment market, but it is not as simple as it sounds.
The combination of complex contractual arrangements, long procurement timeframes, high bidding costs and specialised resourcing overheads has meant only large-scale infrastructure projects are financially feasible to the private investment market. But not all of Australia's infrastructure demand can be met by large-scale infrastructure projects. Maybe one way of addressing this demand is to introduce a higher volume of smaller-scale infrastructure projects to the market?
Assuming financial feasibility issues for both government and the private sector could be addressed, the advent of an additional infrastructure project pipeline market with a higher volume of smaller market-cap projects would have many benefits. Increased competition from a bigger pool of credentialed tier 2-type service providers would bring even better value for money to government.
As smaller-scale projects would be procured and delivered quicker, the potential economies of scale should result in lower overhead costs for the respective infrastructure stakeholders. Politicians could even proclaim more tangible agendas have been realised over their short election timeframes. It sounds promising, but how can the current barriers to entry be lowered to enable these smaller projects to be financially feasible?
One option would be to initiate "less complex" infrastructure projects. Complexity covers many risk areas such as capital expenditure, contractual and financial arrangements, technical design and construction, whole-of-life abatement regimes, environmental issues and political sensitivity. Reduction in the complexity for each of these areas correspondingly reduces the related barriers to entry.
Some examples of complexity reduction could be embracing the use of "availability" revenue models in lieu of "economic/patronage" revenue models for transport sector projects, or fast-tracking less technical infrastructure projects (such as primary schools) to enable easier and quicker delivery to be achieved. By instigating complexity reduction strategies, government procurement agencies could propagate an increasing number of infrastructure opportunities to the Australian market.
In addition to the traditional large-scale infrastructure project opportunities already undertaken, the mature UK PPP market has also progressed down the road of developing a small-scale infrastructure project pipeline. This has subsequently opened up more opportunities within the UK infrastructure market, which has led to a greater number of active, competitive players in the respective infrastructure sectors. The result of more primary infrastructure activity leads to the current point of time where both secondary and tertiary infrastructure markets are now active within the UK economy.
To head down this road in Australia, confidence is needed by both government and private infrastructure stakeholders to reform existing infrastructure delivery methodologies to enable an increase in the infrastructure pipeline opportunities. Only time will tell if this ultimately occurs, but if it does, greater investment opportunities will be available within the Australian infrastructure sector.

Take a dictionary. Each word is defined using other words. Take all the words of the dictionary. The words that appear in their definitions is a subset of words of this dictionary (and not the whole dictionary because some words do not enter in the definition of any other). Now, take the words that appear in the definitions of this subset, this is likely a smaller subset. Iterate this procedure: we will likely converge to a subset of "essential" words, i.e. a list of words from which all other words can be defined. We can further reduce this list of essential words to its core by removing words that appear in a limited number of definitions, say less than 10.
I guess I am not the first to come up with this concept: are there some studies out there that calculate this list of essential words, give its size, compare the lists of different languages?

By OBA I DONATUS, CNN
Updated 1034 GMT (1834 HKT) February 21, 2020The 46,000-year-old specimen was identified as a horned lark.
(CNN)Scientists studying the remarkably well-preserved remains of an Ice Age bird have identified the specimen as a horned lark.Buried and frozen in permafrost near the village of Belaya Gora in north-eastern Siberia, the bird was discovered by local fossil ivory hunters, who passed it on to a team of experts, including Nicolas Dussex and Love Dalén from the Swedish Museum of Natural History, for testing.Radiocarbon dating revealed the bird lived around 46,000 years ago, and genetic analysis identified it as a horned lark (Eremophila alpestris), according to a paper published Friday in the journal Communications Biology.Dalén told CNN that research showed the bird may be an ancestor to two subspecies of lark alive today, one in northern Russia and the other on the Mongolian steppe."This finding implies that the climatic changes that took place at the end of the last Ice Age led to formation of new subspecies," he said.The bird was found in north-eastern Siberia at a site which also contained other frozen specimens.The preservation of the bird is explained in large part by the cold of the permafrost, explained Dussex, but this specimen is in extraordinarily good condition."The fact that such a small and fragile specimen was near intact also suggests that dirt/mud must have been deposited gradually, or at least that the ground was relatively stable so that the bird's carcass was preserved in a state very close to its time of death," said Dussex.The next stage of research involves sequencing the bird's entire genome, said Dalén, which will reveal more about its relationship to present day subspecies and estimate the rate of evolutionary change in larks.
Is it a dog or is it a wolf? 18,000-year-old frozen puppy leaves scientists baffledScientists working in the area have also found carcasses and body parts from other animals such as wolves, mammoths and wooly rhinos.Dussex described such findings as "priceless" as they allow researchers to retrieve DNA and sometimes RNA, a nucleic acid present in all living cells."This in turn will open new opportunities to study the evolution of ice age fauna and understand their responses to climate change over the past 50-10 thousands of years ago," added Dussex.The horned lark was discovered at the same site as an 18,000-year-old frozen puppy, which Dalén and Dussex are also studying.Using carbon dating on the creature's rib bone, experts were able to confirm that the specimen had been frozen for around 18,000 years, but extensive DNA tests have so far been unable to show whether the animal was a dog or a wolf.Scientists can normally tell the difference relatively easy, and researchers hope that further tests on the remains will provide more insight into exactly when dogs were domesticated.

Hello readers! Welcome. In this article on 'above vs over', we are going to learn the correct usage of both the words with some example sentences. You will have an exercise at the end of the article. Once you are done with reading the article try to finish the exercise so that you can easily consolidate what you have learned.
Above vs Over
Both 'Above' and 'Over' are prepositions used to express the vertical relationship between two things. But the basic difference is that the word Above tends to suggest the meaning 'on a higher level than' whereas the word Over is used to suggest closeness between two things.
- ABOVE – a higher level than
- OVER – closeness
Let's see the following example sentences with the above words.
- The mother dog stood over her pups to save them from rain
- His house was on a hill above a beautiful beach
Both the words 'Above' and 'Over' in the above examples show a vertical relationship. In the first sentence, 'over' suggests closeness between the mother dog and her pups, and in the second example, the word 'above' suggests a higher altitude of the hill compared to the beach.
Some more examples:
- There was a picture above the door
- There was a picture over the door
Both above and over can be used in the above example. The first one suggests that there was a picture on the wall above the door and the second one suggests that the picture was on the door itself. Thus we can use the words above and over to show a higher level and closeness respectively.
Exercise: Fill in the blanks in the following sentences with either above or over.
- My house is _______ the tree
- The maid spreads a blanket _______ the mattress
- The clouds are moving fast ________ the city
- He slept _______ the bench
- He applied red paint _______ the white paint

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

2 Answers 2
Most mechanical cipher machines use a reciprocal cipher, so the machine doesn't need a separate "encode mode" and "decode mode". A reciprocal cipher is an involution.
share|improve this answer
$F$ is an involution. You don't want this property for a block cipher since the function doesn't look "random". On the other hand, a stream cipher works exactly that way, but then it's a bit misleading to think of it as a function $F$: the function is missing an important parameter, namely time.

SAP: Focusing on supply chain resiliency
In the first of four articles, we zone in on the importance of supply chain resiliency.
The COVID-19 pandemic has showcased the importance of lean and efficient supply chains, highlighting the necessity for flexibility and innovation during uncertain times. In SAP's global survey, 1,000 executives from business functions spanning the supply chain were asked questions about the state of the supply chain landscape and the current complex environment. SAP identified a small group of companies among its survey respondents that are successfully managing their supply chains - called Supply Chain Leaders. SAP highlighted their best practices, enabling SAP to quantify the benefits of a well-run supply chain and a balanced approach to difficult objectives.
The research showed that companies with stronger strategies for customer-centricity, visibility and sustainability, through the application of intelligent technologies are seeing results from their efforts in terms of supply chain effectiveness, resilience and overall financial performance. While all supply chains are vulnerable to risks in a global economy, execution on clear strategic objectives is vital. This supported by the correct tools and tactics to mitigate risks and minimise complexity will make such events more manageable.
COVID-19 has demonstrated supply chain vulnerabilities and its impact of these on the new world economy. As a result, the importance of supply chain resiliency has never been more important. SAP's survey, created in early 2020 as COVID-19 began to take hold worldwide, found that 39% of its respondents had experienced negative risk events at some point in their supply chains over the past three years. A similar proportion - 40% - found that their exposure to supply chain risks had increased over the same period of time. In contrast, just a quarter of its Supply Chain Leaders reported suffering a negative risk event and 31% say their risk exposure increased.
The research leader group stands out in several key ways. 76% of the leader group agreed that their employees are agile and can react to unforeseen events (compared to 52% of others). They are also significantly more likely to report high levels of collaboration with their risk management and compliance functions - 75% vs 63%. In addition, leaders have significantly higher levels of visibility into their supply chains and have successfully broken down silos within their organisations. This combination of agile employees, seamless collaboration with risk management and other functions, and a flatter organisational structure will reinforce supply chain resiliency.
While no supply chain can ever be fully prepared for a pandemic such as COVID-19, a highly collaborative company culture and strong visibility into all areas of the supply chain, can create resilience and agility, while lessening the impact of risk events.

Vocabulary Words in Native American Languages: Hidatsa
We have included twenty basic words, enough to give you a feeling for each language. All the nouns are singular and all
the verbs are 3rd person singular ("he or she sings") because many Native American languages don't have a separate infinitive ("to sing")
the way English and French do.
If you need to know a Hidatsa word that is not currently on our page, you can take part in our
Indian translations fundraiser or visit our main
Hidatsa language site for more free resources.
Thanks for your interest in Native American languages!
Hidatsa Word Set
These vocabulary words come from 19th century sources, and I recently received mail from a Hidatsa speaker informing me that some of these words
are not pronounced this way anymore--in particular, that "luetza" is pronounced "nuetza" in modern Hidatsa, and "miri" is pronounced "mini."
These could be changes in the language due to the multilingualism of the Hidatsa people during the 20th century ("mini" is the word for water in
Mandan, one of the other languages of the Fort Berthold Reservation, and neither
Mandan nor Arikara had an "l" sound.) On the other hand, it is common in Siouan languages for sonorants (like l and r) to vary phonologically
with other sounds, so it's possible that "nuetza" was always the usual form of this word and it was only pronounced "luetza" under certain conditions.
Further input on this question is welcomed.

The Moskalenko Method (MM) makes use of bio-impedance data supplied by rheoencephalography (REG), and blood flow data supplied by transcranial dopplerography (TCD), Chest respiratory movements and periphery blood pulsation, taken from finger, to provide information on the nature of cerebral blood flow and the level of Cranial Compliance.
Recording the dynamic conditions of brain circulation in a single subject can be completed in less than 15 minutes with this method, enabling a much simpler method of monitoring cerebral fluid movements than by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Digital analysis of the recorded data using PowerLab allows for assessment of the interaction between the two fluid systems (CV and CSF) both at rest and in response to a series of tests that apply specific functional loads to each system individually. Analysing the interaction between the two systems enables us to determine the nature of the pressure/volume relationship, which in turn reflects the quality and quantity of the cerebral circulatory processes.
Transcranial Dopplerography TCD
Measure the velocity of blood movement in the large brain arteries, the transound beam is focused at section M1 of the middle cerebral artery, both as a steady state flow and as a pulse index, which respectively reveal an averaged (main) linear velocity of blood through the artery, and the volume changes that occur during the cardiac cycle. Also allows the determination of a pulsation index, which allows researchers to determine cerebral vascular tone.
Measures CSF movements, (front-mastoid electrode position), produces the rheographical index which allows researchers to indirectly judge the changes of tone in peripheral blood vessels.
The instrumental complex for this research consists of a special analogue-digital converter, which enables pattern, phase and spectral analysis of the TCD and REG recordings. PowerLab also allows simultaneous recording of respiratory chest movements and ECG to be uploadedGoogle+

Buying a new house? See how the position of the sun might affect it
Are you looking to buy a house or build a new one? When choosing a home it is important to know where the sun will be at different times of the day and year, and when different parts of the house or garden will be light or shaded. You will typically only be visiting a property for a small number of viewings before you commit. How do you know where the sun might be at different times and on different days?
Our Sun Position app can help you with this. It shows the solar path on your camera view for different times of the day and throughout the year so that you can see when the sun will shine on different parts of the property and when it will be obstructed by nearby objects causing shade.
Below is a list of things to check when viewing:
 1. Where will the sun rise throughout the year? Ideally you wouldn't want bedrooms to be facing this direction as you will be woken by the morning sun. However this would be a good location for kitchen or breakfast rooms.
 2. In which direction will the sun set? If you like sitting in the garden after work are there any parts of the garden which will get some late afternoon sun or will it all be in shade?
 3. On which part of the house will the sun shine in the winter? This will indicate which parts of the house will be warmer at this time of year. These locations are better for rooms that you use a lot such as living areas.
 4. Where will the sun shine in the summer? Which will parts of the house will be hotter in the afternoon? These areas would be better for locating rooms that you don't use a lot such as bathrooms.
 5. Which side of the house will get the least sun? The cooler parts of the house are best for bedrooms, particularly in warmer climates.
 6. How often will the garden get the sun throughout the year? Will it be mostly in shade? This will influence both what you can grow in the garden and how you use it.
 7. If you are thinking of installing solar energy – is the roof angled to get direct sunlight?
To help with answering these questions you can download our Sun Position app from Google Play.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin Study Guide
Welcome to the LitCharts study guide on Louis De Bernières's Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Created by the original team behind SparkNotes, LitCharts are the world's best literature guides.
Brief Biography of Louis De Bernières
De Bernières was born just outside of London and grew up in Surrey. Though he joined the army when he was 18, he only made it four months in the officer training course and then moved on to attending several universities, including Victoria University of Manchester and the University of London. He held a number of odd jobs, including that of a mechanic and an English teacher in Colombia, before turning to writing full-time in the late 1980s. His experiences in Colombia influenced his first three novels, known collectively as the Latin American Trilogy. He's most famous for Captain Corelli's Mandolin, though he openly disapproves of the film adaptation. De Bernières has never been married but has two children with the actress Cathy Gill. He also plays a number of instruments and though he considers himself to be just an enthusiastic amateur, a majority of his novels illustrate his love of music.

Historical Context of Captain Corelli's Mandolin
Captain Corelli's Mandolin is based primarily on the Italian occupation of Cephalonia during World War Two and, specifically, the Massacre of the Acqui Division (also known as the Cephalonia Massacre). Prior to occupying Cephalonia, the Italians invaded Albania in what was widely considered to be a poorly thought-out plan; Carlo and Francisco are involved in this invasion, and they also participate in the invasion of Greece from Albania in the fall of 1940. The formal occupation of Greece began in 1941, and the division headquarters moved to Cephalonia in the spring of 1943. In the fall, however, Italy deposed their fascist dictator Mussolini and surrendered to the Allied forces--though things were complicated by the fact that Italy also promised its troops to the Germans. After the Italian troops on Cephalonia threatened mutiny if they were forced to cooperate with the Germans, General Gandin, the commanding officer of the Acqui Division, agreed to stand and attempt to defeat the Germans. This resulted in a conflict that lasted several days in which local Greeks fought alongside Italians but ultimately lost. The Italians that survived the fighting were murdered in what became one of the largest prisoner of war massacres of World War Two. Following the war, Greece descended into a civil war that's considered to be one of the first proxy wars of the Cold War. The pro-west faction effectively won in 1949, though Greece's economy was devastated by the conflict for decades after and still experiences political polarization because of the war today.
Other Books Related to Captain Corelli's Mandolin
De Bernières has specifically cited the work of Gabriel García Márquez as an influence on his own novels; a number of García Márquez's books utilize magical realism and while Captain Corelli's Mandolin doesn't technically utilize the form, critics have noted that the larger-than-life characters in the novel would fit easily in a work that did. The novel itself makes a number of references to classic Greek works, most notably Plato's Symposium. Carlo mentions Dante's Inferno as well. In that the novel deals with civilian life in a time of war, Captain Corelli's Mandolin also shares similarities with Euripides's play The Trojan Women. It also joins a number of contemporary novels that explore love and the human cost of World War Two, including Ian McEwan's Atonement and Mary Ann Shaffer's The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

The Earthquake. Though characters in the novel express fear after the great earthquake of 1953 that Cephalonia is going to sink into the sea, the opposite happened: the entire island actually rose two feet higher out of the water.
Cat Haters. Mussolini was a known hater of cats. The American journalist John Gunter wrote in 1936 that "the things that Mussolini hates most are Hitler, aristocrats, money, cats, and old age."

The echinoderms - meaning spiny skin - are the starfish, sea urchins and sea cucumbers.
Starfish like the Bloody henry starfish and the Common starfish which live in our waters are predators that move across the seabed using special organs called tube feet.
Visible spines on the outside of urchins and on the skin of starfish and sea cucumbers are there to deter predators.
On the sandflats at St Martin's and Tresco there are important populations of burrowing Heart urchins. Crevice Sea cucumbers and featherstars are often seen on reefs by divers.


Quick Answer: At What Temperature Does Botulism Die?
Can botulinum toxin be destroyed by heat?
Despite its extreme potency, botulinum toxin is easily destroyed.
Heating to an internal temperature of 85°C for at least 5 minutes will decontaminate affected food or drink..
Does microwaves kill botulism?
botulinum, and anti-toxin is not useful for prevention. Heating to high temperatures will kill the spores. … The toxin is heat-labile though and can be destroyed at > 185°F after five minutes or longer, or at > 176°F for 10 minutes or longer.
Does acidity kill botulism?
Heating your filled and covered jars in a hot water bath (or steam canner) kills off a lot of things. But it won't kill botulism spores; the food will just never get hot enough. But, if the food is high enough in acidity, you don't have to kill them.
Can botulism be killed by baking?
The toxin that Clostridium botulinum produces is among the most deadly food toxin known. Fortunately, heat destroys the toxin and cooking is the best way to control botulism.
Is botulism killed by freezing?
Botulinum Spores cannot be killed by boiling, drying, freezing, radiation or most household cleansers. … The BOTULINUM TOXIN, the most potent neurotoxin in the world and the cause of BOTULISM POISONING. This is what haunts the nightmares of home canners.
Can botulism spores be killed by boiling?
Though spores of C. botulinum are heat-resistant, the toxin produced by bacteria growing out of the spores under anaerobic conditions is destroyed by boiling (for example, at internal temperature greater than 85 °C for 5 minutes or longer).
Can you survive botulism?
Although botulism can cause severe and prolonged symptoms, most people recover completely from the illness. Early treatment reduces the risk of permanent disability and death. However, even with treatment botulism can be fatal. Without treatment, more than 50% of people with botulism would die.
Can botulism be cured?
Many people recover fully, but it may take months and extended rehabilitation therapy. A different type of antitoxin, known as botulism immune globulin, is used to treat infants.
Can you tell if canned food has botulism?
the container is leaking, bulging, or swollen; the container looks damaged, cracked, or abnormal; the container spurts liquid or foam when opened; or. the food is discolored, moldy, or smells bad.
How fast does botulism kill?
Respiratory failure generally causes death in untreated individuals. Symptoms generally begin 12 to 36 hours after consuming the toxin in food but in rare cases symptoms can occur as early as 6 hours or as late as 2 weeks after exposure. Most people recover from botulism but the recovery period can take months.
Does frying bacon kill botulism?
The main ingredient in a cure, salt, functions primarily to kill bacteria and thus act as a preservative. … But because bacon is fried before eating, botulism isn't an issue, so the use of curing salt is considered optional.
Does botulism grow in the fridge?
botulinum bacteria will never grow in the refrigerator – they cannot grow at temperatures below 12° C source. The non-proteolytic strains can grow at temperatures as low as 3° C.

Bad Homburg v.d.H., Germany.
A Roman auxiliary castellum 20 km S of Frankfurt
a.M. on the level of the Taunus mountain range, near
Bad Homburg v.d.H. During Domitian's war against
the Chatti (A.D. 83-85), the limes was constructed in
the forefield of the legionary camp Mogontiacum (Frontin.
. 1.3.10). In stretches it follows the ridge of the
Taunus mountain range. Auxiliary troops were stationed
in castella on the limes to guard the frontier. One of
these castella was Saalburg; its ancient name is unknown. The oldest fortification was a small wooden
castellum (area 0.6 ha, constructed ca. A.D. 90); its garrison is not known. About A.D. 135 cohors II Raetorum
cR. (equitata?) was stationed here, and at this time a
larger castellum was built over the original one. Its wall
consisted originally of a peculiar wood and stone construction. The interior buildings were of wood. During the second half of the 2d c. a stronger wall of stone and mortar was built. Some of the interior buildings also
were rebuilt in stone, especially the principia and the
The first destruction of the camp probably occurred
in the second half of the 2d century in the battles with
Germanic tribes. The castellum also suffered from the
raid of the Alamanni of 233 but was always rebuilt.
Germanic attacks in the 3d c. were fatal. Together with
the limes, Saalburg was abandoned by the Romans not
later than 260.
The fortifications and the most important interior
buildings of the cohors castellum have been reconstructed
and contain a museum in which the finds from the excavations are exhibited. They give an idea of daily life in a Roman auxiliary castellum.
The reconstructed castellum has the customary rectangular ground plan with rounded corners (area 3.2 ha).
Each of the four sides has a gate. Excavations in the
interior of the castellum have established barracks, stables, and workshops, which completely filled the area. The
buildings were arranged in a strictly geometrical pattern. In front of the main gate of the castellum were
a bath building and a mansio; these ruins are visible. The
remains of a vicus have been excavated; its houses in
front of the gates of the castellum were situated along the
Roman road to Nida (main town of the civitas Taunensium, today Frankfurt a.M.-Heddernheim). Adjoining the village and on both sides of the road was a
necropolis, which is no longer visible. In the vicus were
sanctuaries of Jupiter Dolichenus and Cybele; a mithreum has been reconstructed.
The limes runs for a distance of ca. 200 m N past
the castellum. In its final form (earth wall and trench),
it is fairly well preserved here and can be followed for
many kilometers through the Taunus.

WRITING TASK 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge.
Write about the following topic:
Nowadays, many people like to spend their free time and meet others in large shopping malls. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.
In recent times, there has been a noticeable trend of people choosing to spend their leisure time and socialize in large shopping malls. While this trend has its own set of advantages, it also comes with certain disadvantages that need to be carefully considered.
One of the main advantages of spending time in shopping malls is the wide range of activities and entertainment options available. Many malls are equipped with cinemas, restaurants, and recreational facilities, providing ample opportunities for socializing and relaxation. Additionally, shopping malls often host events and exhibitions, offering a platform for people to come together and engage in various cultural and social activities.
Furthermore, large shopping malls offer a convenient and sheltered environment for people to meet and socialize, especially in regions where outdoor activities may be limited due to weather conditions or safety concerns. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who are looking for a safe and comfortable space to spend time with friends and family.
However, the trend of spending time in shopping malls also has its drawbacks. One of the main disadvantages is the potential for excessive consumerism and materialism. With the abundance of shops and promotional offers, people may be tempted to spend more than they can afford, leading to financial strain and debt.
Moreover, the crowded and bustling nature of shopping malls can be overwhelming for some individuals, particularly those who prefer quieter and more intimate settings for socializing. The noise and sensory stimulation in malls can also be distressing for people with sensory sensitivities or certain medical conditions.
In conclusion, while spending time in large shopping malls offers numerous opportunities for socializing and entertainment, it is important to be mindful of the potential drawbacks such as consumerism and sensory overload. Finding a balance between enjoying the amenities of shopping malls and being mindful of one's own well-being is crucial in making the most of this trend. Ultimately, individuals should consider their own preferences and limitations when choosing how to spend their leisure time.

At standard gravity its length is 0.994 m (39.1 in). This length was determined (in toises) by Marin Mersenne in 1644. In 1660, the Royal Society proposed that it be the standard unit of length. In 1675 Tito Livio Burattini proposed that it be named the meter. In 1790, one year before the metre was ultimately based on a quadrant of the Earth, Talleyrand proposed that the metre be the length of the seconds pendulum at a latitude of 45°. This option, with one-fifth of this length defining the foot, was also considered by Thomas Jefferson and others for redefining the yard in the United States shortly after gaining independence from the British Crown.

The Complete Writings and Pictures of
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
A Hypermedia Archive
T HE Rossetti Archive facilitates the scholarly study of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the painter, designer, writer, and translator who was, according to both John Ruskin and Walter Pater, the most important and original artistic force in the second half of the nineteenth century in Great Britain. In Whistler's famous comment, "He was a king".
Completed in 2008 to the plan laid out in 1993, the Archive provides students and scholars with access to all of DGR's pictorial and textual works and to a large contextual corpus of materials, most drawn from the period when DGR's work first appeared and established its reputation (approximately _PHONE_), but some stretching back to the 14th-century sources of his Italian translations. All documents are encoded for structured search and analysis. The Rossetti Archive aims to include high-quality digital images of every surviving documentary state of DGR's works: all the manuscripts, proofs, and original editions, as well as the drawings, paintings, and designs of various kinds, including his collaborative photographic and craft works. These primary materials are transacted with a substantial body of editorial commentary, notes, and glosses.
Recent additions to the Rossetti Archive are discussed here.


A 100 percent sustainable, self-build, co-housing scheme
I am hoping to solve the climate and housing problems on the Isles of Scilly, including the second home ownership issue which leaves many residents struggling to own homes because of the increased house prices. This led me to develop key 'Zero Waste' principles. Considering the Scilly problems and the three pillars of holistic sustainability (community, economy and ecology) I am proposing an Ikeatype/ wiki-house instruction booklet to self-build a 100 percent sustainable self-build co-housing scheme. This includes improving on existing sustainability standards.
I want to go beyond the Passivhaus certification and address embodied carbon and wellbeing.
I also want to push the co-housing principles to the max. Reconsidering the common house (a key element of a co-housing scheme) and adding the additional element of a zero waste, resident – run recycling centre, with workshop and shop to initiate a circular economywaste to resource system on the island.
Illustrations of the 3 key drivers of the scheme: Materials for their lifespan, Holisitc Sustainability approach and A Cyclical House System.
1. Materials used for their lifespan
2. Holistic sustainability
3. A cyclical house system
The overall site plan displaying the landscaping of wild and more defined allotments acting as a buffer zone between front door and communal paths.
A contrast between the structured "growth gardens" and "free,wild gardens" shows a buffer between public and private. Each residence and the commonhouse/ recycling centre have their own 2 metre buffer perimeter.
Rendered View of the inbetween spaces, that the wild landscape inhabits and the built form shares.
A wild landscape embraces the houses and common house to re-introduce biodiversity and promote a sustainable way of living to the max.
The house model broken down as an exploded axonometric to show how it is ticking the sustainability agenda set out for the scheme.
To achieve 100 percent sustainability the house must be easily built, affordable and achieve (at minimum) a PassivHaus certification.

Therefore, if each one of these inductive loads has PicoCell controller that decouples inductive load from the micro-grid, PicoCell controller will make sure that inductive load does not generate power spike for the grid. Furthermore, because PicoCell has bidirectional communication capability, it is possible not only to monitor inductive loads operation and provide power metering services for the micro-grid operator, but also to schedule operation of those inductive loads based on the excess power that might exist in the microgrid. This occurs when the battery bank that provides microgrid's stability is fully charged, while renewable energy sources (solar or wind) are still producing power, so during that time, certain operations like: water pumping to tank or waste water treatment, can be scheduled by communicating that between centralized microgrid controller and PicoCells that are distributed around microgrid's periphery.
Ultimately, from the power side PicoCell can be connected to wide range of DC voltages (60-380Vdc), but also to variety of standard AC voltages (single phase: 120V or 230V, as well as 208, 400, 460Vac three phase). Therefore, PicoCell is flexible to connect to any DC or AC microgrid system.
