 A friend of mine who was hunting a job asked me to be one of her references. So recently, I got this reference form from one of the companies she interviewed. There is this blank "In what capacity have you known the applicant" which I don't quite understand what to put in. Does it refer to "quality" and "personality" or what?

 It is a common and somewhat ambiguous question. It usually means one or more of the following:
 1) What were the circumstances in which you have known the applicant?
 For example, did you know her from work, as a friend since childhood, or as a
 member of a choir or sports team?
 2) What was the applicant's function or employment during your acquaintance?
 For example, the applicant was one of your teachers at university, or was your piano student.

 "How do you know the applicant, and what is your current relationship".
 4. nasridine Senior Member

 I guess your first explanation makes more sense here, because the previous question happens to be "how long have you known this applicant".

 The hiring company will give more weight to a close relationship. Thus, if the friend is known in several capacities it would be worth while to cite all of them. Eg."I knew him during the four years we were in law school together. When I became a judge he appeared before me and we were active in the bar association together. I married him to his second wife when we were in the National Guard together."

What does "PUK" mean on your SIM card when you lock your phone?
With mobile phones, PUK stands for "personal unlocking key." This code is used to open a SIM card that has been locked after using the wrong personal identification number (PIN) a certain number of times.
Most SIM cards allow only up to three tries before being locked. A locked SIM card then requires a PUK. This usually comes with the SIM card, or the mobile carrier can be contacted to inquire how to procure this code. If the wrong PUK is entered a set number of times, the SIM card is then permanently locked. This can happen if a person continues to enter the PIN when the SIM card is already asking for the PUK.


text: The social facilitation effect describes the change in the performance of the task under the influence of the presence of observers. The effect itself consists of two components: social facilitation in simple tasks and social inhibition in complex tasks. In the context of the dynamic development of new technologies, the question of the possible influence on human behavior by virtual characters gains importance. We attempted to critically describe and summarize current research on social facilitation in order to answer the question of whether it occurs in virtual environments. We found 13 relevant studies, 3 of which demonstrated social facilitation, 4 social inhibition and 1 demonstrated the whole effect. The conclusions drawn from the analysis are ambiguous. Firstly, we identified that 12 out of 13 analyzed studies failed to show the whole effect. Secondly, we encountered several shortcomings of the summarized research that further complicated its interpretation. The shortcomings: presence of the researcher, unclear usage of "agent" and "avatar", evaluation of activation, no pilot tests of observers and no description of how their characteristics are generated, among others, are discussed. Furthermore, we investigated the effect sizes and their variability. The average effect size for social facilitation was g = 0.18, CI [-0.28; 0.64] and for social inhibition g = -0.18, CI [-0.40; 0.04]. In social facilitation, a substantial level of heterogeneity was detected. Finally, we conclude that it is still too early to provide a definite answer to the question of whether social facilitation exists in Virtual Environments. We recommend limiting evaluation activation to the lowest possible level, conducting pilot tests prior to the experiment, avoiding the presence of the researcher in the experimental room and a clear distinction of "agent" and "avatar", as measures to achieve a better quality in future research.

'Red Mafia' is the collective term for corrupt public officials in mainland China, mainly from the criminal justice system, who attempt to monopolise the protection business in the criminal underworld by abusing power. In contemporary mainland China, the Red Mafia has developed into an alternative system of governance that can control organised crime groups, enable them to flourish, and protect them where strong government and effective self-protection associations are absent. The author examines organised crime and corruption by analysing the Wen Qiang case, one of the most famous and widely publicised cases in Chongqing's latest crime crackdown campaign. Drawing on interview data and extensive published materials, this paper offers a tentative definition of 'Red Mafia', develops a typology of organised crime, describes the emergence of the Red Mafia in China, explores how gangsters developed relationships with public officials, suggests why organised crime groups chose the Red Mafia as their preferred protection and enforcement mechanism, examines patterns of services provided, and explores the differences between the Red Mafia and other Mafia groups.

Split a polygon
To split two polygons, follow these steps:
Step 1. Select a polygon on the mapview by clicking on the polygon. To open the Split Polygon window, select from the icon in toolbar on the mapview.
Step 2. The polygon Name and Target layer will be displayed in the Split Polygon window. Choose a target layer where the split two layers will be saved later.
Step 3. To draw a line across the selected polygon for splitting, click the Create Line button. Hold down the [Shift] key while moving the cursor, click on the map to mark the start point and double-click to mark the end point, forming a line.
To reset the Split Polygon window and select another polygon, click the Select Another Polygon button.
Step 4. To save the splitting operation, click the button to proceed.
Step 5. Set the Name and Description of the two new split polygons. Also set the field values if needed (see the screenshot below). vMAP offers two approaches to set the field values:
Approach 1: Set the field value by batch processing.
Approach 2: Set the field value one by one manually.
Approach 1: Set the field values by batch processing
Follow these steps to batch process values of split polygons:
Step 1. To copy the value of each field from the original polygon to the corresponding values of the two split polygons, click the Copy button.
Step 2. To split the value of each field from the original polygon to the two split polygons evenly, click the Average button.
Step 3. To reset the value of each field of the two split polygons, click the Clearbutton.
Step 4. To save the split polygons, click the button. Then you can locate these two split polygons on the target layers.
Approach 2 :Set the field values one by one manually
Approach 2 is different from Approach 1 in that you can set the field values one by onem and they will not be affected by the original polygon's values. The icons have the same functionalities as Approach 1.
When getting back to vMAP center map panel and selecting the polygon, you will find it will be three polygons now: the original polygon, two split polygons in target layer.

Leaping sharks are no bull
Bull sharks' behaviour baffles scientists.
It's a phenomenon with which Brisbane River boaties are familiar, but scientists are at a loss to explain.
Every year as temperatures rise, bull sharks can be seen leaping from the water and spinning through the air, sparking wonder among spectators and researchers alike.
My belief is that they are getting rid of parasites and that's why they spin around so fast
University of Queensland professor in zoology Craig Franklin says despite up to a thousand bull sharks living in the river winding its way through the state capital, much of their behaviour is a mystery.
Particularly confounding is the sight of the sharks getting air time during warmer months.
It is a spectacle ferry drivers say they catch sight of up to four times a week.
Craig Wilkins, who has spent years on the river as a City Cat master and at the helm of the Kookaburra Queen, says the wide stretch of river at Bulimba is a common spot for the behaviour.
"The warmer the water, the more times you will see them jumping," he said. As the sun gets up, that's when you will see them jumping.
"About two years ago the river was a little bit cleaner than usual and everybody was seeing them. You ask any City Cat master, they'll say the same thing. They see them jumping all the time."
As well, their aerials show the sharks are also more active underwater as the river at this time of year.
Sharks found upstream are normally less than 1.5m long and pose little threat to people.
However, dog owners have been warned to keep their pets out of the river at dusk and dawn, when sharks are most active.
There have been numerous reports of dogs being taken from the river's edge and even instances of more ambitious sharks taking on larger prey.
In 2005, Ipswich locals were shocked after a bull shark attacked a race horse being put through its paces in the Brisbane River at Kholo.
The attack came just weeks after a teenager was bitten on the head and finger at Karalee.
One ferry driver recently told of seeing a Chihuahua snapped up in shallow water at the edge of the river and Professor Franklin said small dogs would be attractive to sharks.
"Small snacks like [Chihuahuas] could be within the size range of prey items that a bull shark would take," he said.
"You wouldn't want to let your dog go for a swim around dusk and dawn. That's when they are most likely to be feeding."
A "cosmopolitan" creature found in tropical and sub-tropical waterways around the world, the bull shark has long baffled scientists with its behaviour in Indonesia, Thailand, Fiji and Florida.
In some cases they have been observed leaping for bats, but by and large their motive is a mystery, according to Professor Franklin.
"I've got no idea to tell you the truth," he said. "Whether it's to scare prey out, I've got no idea why they do that.
"I've seen it and it tends to be the small ones."
City Cat and ferry drivers say they often see it during the long hours they spend on the waterway.
They have even ventured theories on why it happens.
Mr Wilkins said the manoeuvre could be a type of housekeeping.
"My belief is, and I don't know if it is accurate, but my belief is that they are getting rid of parasites and that's why they spin around so fast," he said.
"That's what we see as we are driving along occasionally is them jumping up and doing a bit of a spin and hitting the water again. They're usually about four foot long and the biggest I've ever seen was about six foot, I guess."
His theory was echoed by another ferry driver who spoke to brisbanetimes.com.au, but Professor Franklin wasn't sold on the idea.
"I doubt that," he said. "There are external parasites that they can have, but I've never heard that it's a successful strategy to remove parasites."
Professor Franklin said it was possible bull sharks were among those filmed feeding on a school of bait fish off Teewah Beach north of Noosa on Friday and were often found in the open ocean.
But he said what set them apart from other species was their ability to survive in fresh water thanks to being able to retain salt in their bodies.
He said the sharks give birth near the mouth of the river, with the 50cm pups heading upstream, where they would live for up to four years until they venture into the ocean in search of larger prey.
"I think to be in a state capital city and to have bull sharks in our waterways is a wonderful thing. They are undoubtedly an incredible animal to have in our waterways," he said.
Around the world, more fatalities are attributed to bull sharks than any other species.
In the past decade bull sharks have been blamed for deaths in the Gold Coast canal system, and an attack which killed a teenage girl at North Stradbroke Island in 2006.
"You could almost say they are a cosmopolitan shark in that most capital cities are built around river systems, they are circum-global, so right around the globe, so the likelihood of people being injured or killed is higher," said Professor Franklin.
"But they don't target humans. People need to realise that. They are opportunistic feeders. All we have to do is modify our behaviour and be careful where we swim and the time at which we swim.
"You look at the unfortunate incidents on the Gold Coast in the canals where people were taken and they were swimming around at night time or dusk or dawn."

Generic service component development for SPICE environment
MetadataShow full item record
This master thesis provides a study of the initial generic component model developed within the Service Platform for Innovative Communication Environment (SPICE) project and gives some examples of service components focusing on enabling components. An evaluation of the metadata describing these components is given along with the description of a roaming service functionality. This thesis defines the term enabling service, which is a service used by another service in order to provide parts of the service functionality. Enabling services can be Instant Messaging enablers, location enablers and service discovery facilities. Proper metadata descriptions of these components are important in order to provide efficient discovery. Service roaming can also be seen as an enabling service providing the means for a user to change domains while still maintaining a service offer. This can be realised by a roaming agent who communicates with entities in both the home domain and the visited domain. In collaboration with two other students a testbed implementing a service for demonstration realising the SPICE E-Tourism scenario has been set up. The specification, implementation and testing of the service is included in this thesis focusing on the enabling services and the component support. Finally a discussion of the implemented system is given to evaluate the development methodology for the SPICE service components and to highlight possible improvements.

Engraving of the Oxford Physic Garden, England, 1675
Physic gardens were a common feature in the 1700s. They were used to grow plants for drug preparations and were arranged according to the properties of the plants they contained. For example, plants with spiky leaves were likely to be grouped together. The Oxford Physic Garden was founded in 1621 by Henry Danvers, the Earl of Danby. He donated £5,000 to set up the garden – the equivalent of £3.5 million today. It is the oldest garden of its kind in the United Kingdom. The garden is now known as the Oxford Botanic Gardens after a name change in 1840. This print is from Oxonia Illustrata by David Logg (1633/5-92), engraver to Oxford University.

Flat rocks can be used in the design of your garden or lawn and enhance the curb appeal of your property. They can complement an existing garden or replace greenery entirely in favor of a rock aesthetic to make your front and back yard distinct.
Use flat rocks, especially flagstone, to create a stone pathway that leads to your front door. A flat-rock pathway also can help you and your visitors avoid rough patches in your front yard.
Either lay flat rocks in grass or carve them into soil or a rocky terrain. You also can lay flat rocks on sod or leveled sand. The most important aspects of creating a flat-rock pathway are to ensure the rocks align evenly and no more than about 1 inch of space is between the rocks.
You have the choice of buying different shapes of flat rocks to enhance the path's visual appeal. Flat rocks that are granite or flagstone can add color and flair to your landscaping scheme.
Steps for a Sloped Yard
Using flat rocks is an ideal way to create steps in a yard that slopes. If, for example, you have a steep decline from a patio, you could install flat rocks to form steps that provide safety and add beauty to your yard. Dig out enough soil and level each area of sloped land where you want to install flat rocks so they will lay flat and secure.
Consider using the same kind and color of rocks for each step to create a seamless look. If you want something more bold, then choose rocks of different types and colors for a look that is attention-grabbing and distinct. Edging the flat-rock steps with a flower arrangement will make them stand out even more.
A fountain can add class, elegance and style to your back yard, and one style you can choose is a flat-rock fountain. That kind of fountain consists of slabs of flat rocks stacked on top of each other, and a number of configurations can be used. For example, you can create a flat-rock fountain with similarly sized rocks except for the top slab, which can be wider and lengthier, allowing the fountain water to flow downward with greater force. You also could create a fountain in which flat rocks that are slate or granite are cut into rectangular shapes and placed in the structure's base, giving you a fountain that has the appearance of a monument, with water running down each side.
Use flat rocks in your flowerbed to beautify your home and to prevent the growth of weeds, which won't grow on rocks. Also, colorful butterflies are like flying flowers in a garden, and flat rocks help to attract them. Butterflies are drawn to the warmth of flat rocks in sunny spots, spreading their wings for the warmth while resting on the rocks and beautifying the garden at the same time.

This page explains how you can export individual Confluence pages, blog posts, entire spaces or selections of pages into a single PDF file.
Exporting single pages
You can export a Confluence page to PDF. This option exports a single page and is available to all users who have permission to view the page.
 - Go to a page in the space and choose Tools > Export to PDF. Follow the prompts to export the page.
Note that the export of a single page to PDF applies any PDF stylesheet customisations, but does not apply any PDF layout customisations. To make your PDF layout customisations apply to a single page exported to PDF, use the'multiple page' method described below to export that single page only. See Customising Exports to PDF.
Exporting a blog post
You can export a Confluence blog post to PDF. This option exports a single blog post and is available to all users who have permission to view the page.
 - Go to a blog post and choose Tools > Export to PDF. Follow the prompts to export the page.
Blog posts can only be exported individually. Blogs cannot be exported at the space level.
Exporting multiple pages or the entire space
Using Confluence's space export functionality, you can convert multiple pages or an entire space to PDF.
To use the space export functionality, you need the 'Export Space' permission. See the guide to space permissions.
To export a space or selected pages to PDF:
 1. Go to the space and choose Space tools > Content Tools on the sidebar.
 2. Choose Export. This option will only be visible if you have the 'Export Space' permission.
 3. Select PDF then choose Next
 4. Decide whether you need to customise the export:
 - Select Normal Export to produce a PDF file containing all the pages that you have permission to view.
 - Select Custom Export if you want to export a subset of pages.
 5. Select the pages you want to export.
 - You have the option to Select All or Deselect All pages.
 - When you select a page, all its child pages will also be selected. Similarly, when you deselect a page all its child pages will also be deselected.
 6. Choose Export.
 7. When the export process has finished, download and save the PDF file as prompted.
If your space uses the Documentation theme:
 1. Choose Browse > Space Operations
 2. Choose PDF Export from the left menu.
 3. Follow the steps above to export the Space.
Screenshot: Selecting pages to export
Customising the appearance of PDF exports
You can add a title page, a table of contents and customised headers and footers to the PDF output. For more advanced customisations, you can apply Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) modifications. These customisations are specific to each space. You need the 'Space Administrator' permission to be able to apply these customisations. For more information, see Customising Exports to PDF.
 - PDF exports will not handle columns created via the page layout option in the editor. If you have a twoor three-column layout, the PDF export will contain the page content in one single column. The issue is tracked here: CONF-25240 - PDF export does not handle page layouts Resolved
 - Comments on the page are not exported to the PDF file. The screenshot above and Confluence both suggest otherwise, issue is tracked here: CONF-27811 - Description of PDF Export is incorrect Resolved
 - Only image attachments that have been inserted into a page are included when exporting to PDF.
 - To export a PDF containing international text, you need to install a Unicode font in Confluence.
 - Blog posts can be individually exported, but are not included when you export a space to PDF.
 - If you have 'Space Administrator' permissions, the link to customise the PDF Stylesheet is provided at the top of the page tree, as shown in the screenshot above.
 - Confluence's PDF export feature is designed to handle a wide variety of content. However, on rare occasions the PDF Export process may fail due to an unrecognised customisation. If that happens the PDF export screen will indicate the title of the page in which the problem occurred, to help you diagnose the cause of the failure.
 1. How do I get the comments on the page to show up in the PDF when I use the export single page icon?
 1. Hi Matt,
 Unfortunately, Confluence does not provide this feature currently. However, we are aware of such needs and there is an improvement request being tracked at the following link:
 The improvement request above suggest Confluence to have the ability to include comments in the page PDF export. If you are keen on this improvement, please cast a vote to increase its popularity and add yourself as a watcher for future updates.

 This would be really useful. Does anyone know if it's possible yet?
 1. Hi,
 You may want to give a try by using the Auto-Export plugin that is available in our Confluence Extension space:
 If the above is not an option, you may want to give a try to search for other plugins in our Confluence Extension space which might meet your requirement. Hope the information does help.

 3. If exporting to PDF, I run into problems if tables or pictures are involved. I created an issue for this on JIRA
 4. Hi,
 is it possible, to store the selection of exported pages for a later re-use?
 1. This would be very handy. Is it possible in 3.0?
 5. Anonymous
 Hi there, we found that when multiple users of the wiki exported an entire space at the same time, the wiki runs very slow...logging in to the wiki just hangs....once the export is finished, speed comes back to there any way to allow space export without running into this adverse performance issue?
 1. I have the same issue - needing visitors to be able to export multiple pages (a particular section of a space) as a pdf.
 The best way to deal with this would seem to be by automating PDF export (with certain supplied parameters) on a regular (e.g. nightly) basis. I read in some comment here (but can't find it now) that (ro-)bot-export of spaces is deliberately discouraged by Atlassian to guard against DDOS-type attacks, but would it be possible to create a local-only bot capable of running these exports according to supplied parameters (regularity, page(s) to include, pdf filename,...)?
 Bot-exported PDFs could be saved in a certain folder with a known naming structure, and wiki pages could include links to the appropriate pdf file (perhaps via macro), avoiding the whole automatically-generated performance hit issue.
 2. The space backup process consumes some extra resources, hence, it is understandable that Confluence may perform poorly if there's multiple concurrent space export.
 In the context of permission settings, you can assign/drop the "Space - Export" space permission if necessary.
 In regards to a single automated process, I think one can create a job plugins that runs the space export at an interval. You might be able to find better answers in Atlassian Answers.
 1. Thank you for the information - a job plugin (set up to use Cron) sounds exactly like what we need. Then it's just the case of creating the plugin to export specific pages within a space (or the whole space) and save it - all according to designated parameters. Do you know if the plugin architecture allows you to specify a subset of pages to be exported in the space (like is possible in the UI)?
 Another method would seem to be to use an external script using the RPC API - but right now you can only export an entire space as a PDF (but I've voted up a feature request for extra granularity here - see I found a python script that could be modified (currently exports a space as XML)...
 Anyway, I will search the public forums as you suggest... I just wanted to update this thread with these pointers. Thanks again.

 We're using Confluence to create documentation and we use the PDf export mechanism to provide our customers with a PDF version of the documentation.
 Now, in the spaces we use for documentation, we have several pages that have viewing restrictions on them. This can be either pages that are not yet finished or just some internal pages with comments/directions etc.
 I know I can manually uncheck each single page that I do not want to have included before exporting, but I was wondering if it's not possible to run the export in such a way that it will only export what is visible to anonymous users?
 1. Sure - you just need to grant 'Export Space' permission to anonymous users, and then log out before starting the export.
 This will create the PDF including only those pages which are visible to anonymous users.
 If you don't want to enable exports for anonymous users, then you could create a new user, make sure that the permissions are set so that the user does not see your internal pages, and perform your PDF Exports using that restricted user.

 Tnx, that'll do the trick. Should have come up with that myself


In Frontiers in neuroscience ; h5-index 72.0
Purpose : Recently, we developed a novel active learning framework, qVFM, to map visual functions in the visual field. The method has been implemented and validated in measuring light sensitivity and contrast sensitivity visual field maps (VFMs) of normal observers. In this study, we evaluated the performance of the qVFM method in mapping the light sensitivity VFM of simulated patients with peripheral scotoma, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and cataract.
Methods : For each simulated patient, we sampled 100 locations (60 × 60 degrees) of the visual field and compared the performance of the qVFM method with a procedure that tests each location independently (the qYN method) in a cued Yes/No task. Two different switch modules, the distribution sampling method (DSM) and parameter delivering method (PDM), were implemented in the qVFM method. Simulated runs of 1,200 trials were used to compare the accuracy and precision of the qVFM-DSM, qVFM-PDM and qYN methods.
Results : The qVFM method with both switch modules can provide accurate, precise, and efficient assessments of the light sensitivity VFM for the simulated patients, with the qVFM-PDM method better at detecting VFM deficits in the simulated glaucoma.
Conclusions : The qVFM method can be used to characterize residual vision of simulated ophthalmic patients. The study sets the stage for further investigation with real patients and potential translation of the method into clinical practice.

Six-year project could make internet 100 times faster
Ian Grant
The internet could be 100 times faster than it is today if a new £7.2m six-year research project, the Photonics HyperHighway, is successful.
University and science minister David Willetts said the investment will see scientists from the universities of Southampton and Essex working with industry partners BBC Research and Development, Fianium and Oclaro to develop new materials and devices for optical fibre networks. The project will look at the way fibre optics are used, and develop new materials and devices to increase internet bandwidth to ensure that the web can cope with rising demand.
The future internet would have to be based on optical fibre to meet an annual 80% growth in traffic driven by applications such as internet television and cloud computing, said project leader Southampton professor David Payne.
Willetts said the internet was "fundamental to our lives" and that Britain had to ensure that the web infrastructure could continue to meet demand for it.
Payne added, "Our ambition is nothing less than to rebuild the internet hardware to suit it to the needs of 21st-century Britain. This project proposes a radical transformation of the physical infrastructure that underpins these networks."
The UK internet industry was worth an estimated £100bn, so it was in the country's interest to make it even better for businesses and help boost economic growth, Willetts said.

Salt of Hartshorn, also known as baker's ammonia, is a leavening agent that was originally made from hartshorn oil. Nowadays, salt of hartshorn is chemically produced. It contains ammonium carbonate.
Salt of Hartshorn is used as a leavening agent in baking pastries, especially in some traditional recepies.
Other tips for use:
– Starting a new aquarim
– Protecting berry bushes from birds:
One sachet (30 g) of ammonium carbonate is divided into three 0,5 l bottles filled with water. Bottles are then digged in the ground between the berry bushes so that the liquid can evaporate freely from the bottle. Evaporating liquid with its odor keeps the birds away from berry bushes. Human cannot smell the odor.
Chemically produced, not of animal origin. Store at room temperature, tightly closed.

"Chariots and Other Wheeled Vehicles in Italy before the Roman Empire" presents evidence for transport by wheeled vehicle in Italy before the Roman Imperial period, the beginning of which is often thought to be marked by Augustuss conquest of Egypt in 30 BC. The study begins with a glossary of technical terms and with evidence for roads and the animals that were used in draught. The major part is concerned with the vehicles themselves - two-wheeled chariots and carts and four-wheeled wagons - their construction, the ways in which their draught animals were harnessed and controlled, and the uses to which the equipages were put. A wide range of evidence is drawn upon including figured documents such as architectural terracottas, stone reliefs, vaseand wall paintings; bronze and terracotta models and the remains of actual vehicles, in a few cases accompanied by their harness teams recovered from tombs, primarily from central and northern Italy of the eighth and seventh centuries BC onwards. The concluding chapter looks at the history of wheeled vehicles in Italy before the Roman Imperial period. It traces local, Italic characteristics and possible foreign influences, and assesses the relative economic and social importance of the different kinds of wheeled vehicles and of other means of land transport - by pack and riding animals. In appendices the vehicles depicted in so-called Situla Art and the 'Celtic chariot' are discussed. Lavishly illustrated with over 170 plates and figures, this book is important for the history of transport, technology and draught.

Excavations at historic Borestone site at Bannockburn
7 December 2011
Archaeologists are continuing preliminary investigations at the site of the new visitor centre for the Battle of Bannockburn.
Following earlier excavations in October, the team are digging for the position of the Borestone where Robert the Bruce raised his banner before the battle of Bannockburn in 1314 where the Rotunda now stands.
The Rotunda, built in 1964 to mark the 650th anniversary of the battle, is badly in need of repair and structural engineers are assessing the work required. As part of the project a full Conservation Plan was completed for the rotunda by the conservation architect Andrew Wright.
Cabinet Secretary for Culture and External Affairs Fiona Hyslop said:
"The work to create a new visitor centre at the site of the Battle of Bannockburn is continuing well with this second round of archaeology ensuring that nothing of importance is lost during the building work.
"We may still be some way off the opening in time for the 700th anniversary in 2014 but it is vital that we push ahead with this work to preserve any remaining archaeology and use these findings to add to our understanding and reflect it in the state of the art interpretation that will make this centre a world-class attraction.
"The new centre will just be the latest commemoration of this incredible site and this particular series of excavations is hugely interesting because it is looking at the legacy of the site as a memorial and the way that people have memorialised and interacted with it throughout the centuries. "
The new centre has been designed by award-winning architects Reiach and Hall as part of the project to enhance the presentation of the battle and its significance to our history in time for the 700th anniversary of the battle in 2014.
In addition to the Rotunda, the site is also the focus for other memorials to the battle: the famous Pilkington-Jackson statue of Bruce, a cairn built in 1957, and the flagpole erected in 1870.
Derek Alexander, Head of Archaeological Services for the National Trust for Scotland, said: "The first memorial to the battle was in fact the Borestone itself: a flat stone with a circular hole 4 inches in diameter and 4 inches deep. Tradition has it that the Borestone was the socket in which Robert Bruce, King of Scots, raised his standard prior to the battle and marks the site of the Scots camp. The site has been visited by tourists since the 18th century, including Robert Burns, and an engraving of 1826 shows it beside the road in an open rural landscape.
"We are hoping that in addition to the position of the Borestone we may find objects dropped or even deliberately placed and left by visitors to the site over the last couple of hundred years – it certainly worth investigating."
Over the years numerous visitors chipped off parts of the Borestone, to take home as souvenirs, and by the middle of the 19th century the fragments had to be protected by an iron grille set into a low stone wall and the site was staffed by a custodian.
During the building of the rotunda in the 1960s the precise location of the original Borestone was cleared and re-surfaced and the last two fragments transferred into the new visitor centre for safe-keeping.
The current archaeological investigations are looking for the site of the original Borestone itself, which may be marked by a bed of mortar. Another trench will also be excavated over one end of the 19th century custodian's hut. In both trenches it is hoped there may be artefacts dropped by visitors to the site over the last 300 years.
The proposal for the new visitor centre was announced in 2009 with £5m funding from the Scottish Government. An application for £3.8m has received a stage one pass from the Heritage Lottery Fund with a final decision hoped for early in 2012.
2014 will be a huge year for events in Scotland – as well as the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn, Scotland will also play host to the Commonwealth Games and The Ryder Cup.
Notes for editors:
- The Battle of Bannockburn Project is a joint venture by the National Trust for Scotland and Historic Scotland, on behalf of the Scottish Government, to provide a new visitor centre and experience for one of the most significant battles in Scotland's history for the 700th anniversary in the 2014.

A turning tarpit is a form of Turing tarpit in which there is a sequence of commands, modeled as a rotating wheel. In a turning tarpit, language commands do not directly manipulate data, but instead affect the command wheel(s), by changing their rotation or executing the current command.
Overview of the Genre
The earliest example of a turning tarpit in the world of esoteric programming languages is probably reMorse (1998). Whirl (2004) embraces the technique most explicitly, styling itself as "dizzy programming". Fortuna (2005 or earlier) is probably the first turning tarpit to use the image of a wheel. Wunnel (2011) applies the turning tarpit technique to the problem of designing a 1L, and expands on the idea by using a two-dimensional torus of instructions instead of a one-dimensional wheel. Braincrash (2011) is a brainfuck equivalent. Jolverine (2012) is a conscious attempt to expand the turning tarpit genre by introducing a new feature: modifying the order of instructions on the wheel during execution.


How to mine Sia Coin using graphic cards?
How to mine Sia Coin using graphic cards?
The Sia network aims to create a decentralized data storage network, using free space on disks.
Sia uses blockchain technology as a transaction layer for her network, enabling the purchase and sale of hosting power in a secure and trusted way. Smart contracts provide encryption and data transfer, leaving no room for interference by third parties.
Sia uses Siacoin (SC) cryptocurrency. The initial prize for the block was 300,000 SC. Each subsequent prize for a block is one smaller than the previous one (299.999, 299.998, etc.). When the prize for mining the block reaches 30,000 (at 270,000 block), each next prize will be 30,000 SC. The block is mined every 10 minutes.
In this guide we will use the "ccminer" software. So, lets do it!
1. Installation
There are several different programs to mine Siacoin, but most of them offer similar features and performance. In this guide, we use the ccminer program, but if you like, you can use another program - more on the official site of Sia.
Step 1: Click here to go to github - CCminer 8.00 from KlausT. After entering the website, select your operating system from the list (in our case it is 64-bit Windows 10).
Step 2: After the download, extract it, then create a folder called "siacoin miner".
Step 3: Exit the folder and select Pool, as you can see in the
Step 4: Now you will have to create the batch file, so first open the Notepad, copy the following command and paste into the Notepad. This command will allow you to connect to the Pool:
ccminer.exe -a sia -e --url=stratum+tcp:// -u YourWalletAddress.YourName -i 28
This is just an example, below I've written examples for specific locations:
 - if you're from Asia / Pacific, replace "" with ""
 - if you're from Europe, replace "" with ""
 - if you're from the USA, replace "" with ""
 - if you are from the East, leave ""
Where "YourWalletAddress" is entered, you paste your Sia wallet address.
(To be able to mine, you will need a Siacoin wallet The fastest way to create a Siacoin wallet is to use the exchange, eg Binance. You can sell your coins there immediately.)
And where 'YourName' is, enter your name. (It is so logical that I do not know why I write about it :D).
(Leave the dot between the address and the name)
At this moment, we need to save this text file as a batch file. Click on the "file" tab and select "save as", then select the folder you created, (for us it is "siacoin miner") save as "Start.bat" (".bat" is a diminutive from batch) and press "save".
2. Start mining
Step 1: Open the folder "siacoin miner" and double click on the "Start.bat" file.
That's all. After starting mining, you can see your progress by visiting, next to our address Siacoin in "address field" and press "go":

|Cemetery notes and/or description:|
The cemetery was first used during the battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775. This cemetery was part of the Freedom Trail. British soldiers placed cannon here to bombard Breed's HIll on June 17, 1775. Robert Newman, black educator Prince Hall, and blacks and mulattos who worked in the shipyards of the North End are interred within these ancient grounds dating to 1660.
This cemetery is referred to as BOS.808 Copp's Hill Burying Ground in the "MACRIS Survey of Massachusetts Cemeteries". It was established in 1660.


This feature requires 1.0.22 of the Meeting Room 365 app (or later) to function.
We now allow all devices to adjust their brightness on a schedule, letting you configure a brightness level change (from 0, or dark, to 1, or full brightness) at any hour you choose.
This can be set in the Hardware tab of your display, under Brightness Schedule.
However, this might be a bit complicated, since you will be creating a schedule object that contains a list of hours, and the brightness setting you wish to apply.
This can also be set in the advanced configuration editor, or via CSV. The key for this feature is brightnessSchedule and the value is an object containing the hours and brightness levels (the display will set the brightness at least once to the specified value during the hour mentioned.
For the most common use-case, you can copy the following template:
{ "7": 1.0, "19": 0.1 }
In this example, the display would go full brightness at 7am, and back to 10% brightness at 7pm. You can adjust the 7 and 19 to any hour you like.
Note, when setting up this feature, you will only see brightness changes during the hours specified (if you set this example up at 1pm, you won't see a change until 7pm).
Setting a key in the advanced configuration editor
Visit the Advanced Configuration Editor from your display
Insert or Append a new key called brightnessSchedule
Set the value (right side) to { "7": 1.0, "19": 0.1 }
Advanced Configuration Example: Setting up a new key -> value pair
That's it! Feel free to reach out if you'd like to have us enable this for you.

Media Effects Research Lab
The Media Effects Research Laboratory housed in the College of Communications at Penn State is a facility dedicated to conducting empirical research on the psychological effects of communication technologies and media psychology. Several experimental studies involving hundreds of subjects have been conducted in the lab since its opening in 1997. Experiments have been executed by faculty as well as undergraduate and graduate students taking classes in media effects, psychological aspects of communication technologies, and introduction to communication research method.
Experiments with television and computers in the Traditional Wing have tested the effects of structural features such as modality, and psychological outcomes of various content. More recently, research in this lab has also tested various psychological effects of video game play. Experiments in the New Media Wing have involved studying the effects of animation on websites, loading time of websites on subjects' attention, arousal, memory, content perception, effects of content on stimulation of stereotypical thoughts, emotional and cognitive responses to media entertainment, media violence, reality-based television programs, gender and media, and media portrayals of racial groups and the effects of such portrayals on viewers' racial attitudes.
In addition to providing a physical space for conducting controlled experiments, the Media Effects Research Laboratory acts as a resource facility for researchers conducting experiments and surveys in all aspects of media effects. The lab also serves as an impetus for effects researchers to collaborate and share results and ideas. The lab helps prepare and pretest stimuli, and its personnel offer assistance in designing experiments and questionnaires.

I have the following table for storing user data:
TABLE: users
maritalStatus (INT) - FK
gender (CHAR)
occupation (INT) - FK
Now I want to compare two users in this table to see how many columns match for any two given users (say user X & user Y)
I am doing it via mySQL Stored Procedures by getting each value separately and then comparing them
 SELECT maritalStatus from users where userID = X INTO myVar1;
 SELECT maritalStatus from users where userID = Y INTO myVar2;
 IF myVar1 = myVar2 THEN
 END IF;
Is there a shorter way using an SQL query where I can compare two rows in a table and see which columns are different? I dont need to know how much different they actually are, just need to know if they contain the same value. Also I will only be comparing selected columns, not every column in the user table.

This will select the number of columns that are not the same for user x and user y:
SELECT ( u1.martialStatus <> u2.martialStatus )

 users u1,

You can also use this:

 a.lastname as a_lastname,
 a.firstname as a_firstname,
 a.age as a_age,
 'x' as x,

cross join person b

You can count the number of users with the same columns using group by:
select u1.maritalStatus
, u1.gender
, u1.occupation
, count(*)
from users u1
group by
, u1.gender
, u1.occupation

Thanks for your response - however I need a query that specifically compares two given users. Your query simply lists the no. of users with a specific value. I would need to also specify which users I am comparing with a WHERE clause (e.g. WHERE userid = 87 AND userid = 88) - hope thats clear. – Sydney Boy May 8 '12 at 7:06
Well basicly the relevant row would give the value 2 if both users have the same maritalStatus, gender, occupation. You could add a WHERE u1.user_id IN (id1, id2) and see if there's one row with the value 2 returned. – Robin Castlin May 8 '12 at 7:07
_USER_: I think Peter Lang's answer might be what you're looking for? – Andomar May 8 '12 at 7:09
Just a continued example of Peter Langs suggestion in PHP:
$arr_cols = array('martialStatus', 'gender', 'occupation');
$arr_where = array();
$arr_select = array();
foreach($arr_cols as $h) {
 $arr_having[] = "compare_{$h}";
 $arr_select[] = "(u1.{$h}!= u2.{$h}) AS compare_{$h}";
$str_having = implode(' + ', $arr_where);
$str_select = implode(', ', $arr_where);
$query = mysql_query("
SELECT {$str_select}
FROM users AS u1, users AS u2
WHERE u1.userid = {$int_userid_1} AND u2.userid = {$int_userid_2}
HAVING {$str_having} > 0
/* Having case can be removed if you need the row regardless. */
/* Afterwards you check these values: */
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);
foreach($arr_cols as $h)

 This letter to Gentleman Du was written by Cai Xiang in a period of mourning for the loss of his eldest son (1055), but for the most part Cai still maintains his poise of vigor and beauty in calligraphy. Nonetheless, a few strokes of the brush still reveal fluctuations of emotion that transmit the pain that he must have felt as he was writing. The brushwork here is rounded and solid, while also flowing and wandering, thus revealing Cai Xiang's complete success in traditional calligraphic studies. In the flowing grace of the brush movement in the few characters, the forms and structure are enchanting, while the generous spacing of the character structure and the hook method here conform to that of Yan Zhenqing (顏真卿, 709–785).

Carving is the practice of searching an input for files or other kinds of objects based on content, rather than on metadata. File carving is a powerful tool for recovering files and fragments of files when directory entries are corrupt or missing, as may be the case with old files that have been deleted or when performing an analysis on damaged media. Memory carving is a useful tool for analyzing physical and virtual memory dumps when the memory structures are unknown or have been overwritten.
Most file carvers operate by looking for file headers and/or footers, and then "carving out" the blocks between these two boundaries. Semantic Carving performs carving based on an analysis of the contents of the proposed files.
File carving should be done on a disk image, rather than on the original disk.
File carving tools are listed on the Tools:Data_Recovery wiki page.
Many carving programs have an option to only look at or near sector boundaries where headers are found. However, searching the entire input can find files that have been embedded into other files, such as JPEGs being embedded into Microsoft Word documents. This may be considered an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on the circumstances.
Today most file carving programs will only recover files that are contiguous on the media.
FIle Carving Taxonomy
- General term for extracting data (files) out of undifferentiated blocks (raw data), like "carving" a sculpture out of soap stone.
- Block Based Carving
- Any carving method (algorithm) that analyzes the input on block-by-block basis to determine if a block is part of a possible output file. This method assumes that each block can only be part of a single file (or embedded file).
- Characteristic Based Carving
- Any carving method (algorithm) that analyzes the input on characteristic basis (for example, entropy) to determine if the input is part of a possible output file.
- Header/Footer Carving
- A method for carving files out of raw data using a distinct header (start of file marker) and footer (end of file marker).
- Header/Maximum (file) size Carving
- A method for carving files out of raw data using a distinct header (start of file marker) and a maximum (file) size. This approach works because many file formats (e.g. JPEG, MP3) do not care if additional junk is appended to the end of a valid file.
- Header/Embedded Length Carving
- A method for carving files out of raw data using a distinct header and a file length (size) which is embedded in the file format
- File structure based Carving
- A method for carving files out of raw data using a certain level of knowledge of the internal structure of file types. Garfinkel called this approach "Semantic Carving" in his DFRWS2006 carving challenge submission, while Metz and Mora called the approach "Deep Carving."
- Semantic Carving
- A method for carving files based on a linguistic analysis of the file's content. For example, a semantic carver might conclude that six blocks of french in the middle of a long HTML file written in English is a fragment left from a previous allocated file, and not from the English-language HTML file.
- Carving with Validation
- A method for carving files out of raw data where the carved files are validated using a file type specific validator.
- Fragment Recovery Carving
- A carving method in which two or more fragments are reassembled to form the original file or object. Garfinkel previously called this approach "Split Carving."

As we know a many to many association are shown by two asterisks in both end of association. Now I have a association between two entities "Good" and "Invoice" so Good and Invoice have a many to many association but I want to show the "count of each good" in each invoice on class diagram.
How can I show it?

You can use an association class as depicted e.g. here:
Using a new class and two associations inbetween like user1598390 described is valid as well. It depends how you would like to see the relationship between your entities. UML-wise association classes are probably more concise. Regarding the implementation in a programming language both solutions might even look the same (implemented with an additional link object as most programming languages don't support attributed links or pointers).
share|improve this answer
Often times many to many associations indicate the need for a third entity.
You need InvoiceDetail entity.
Anyway "count of each good" should be a method in class Invoice.
public int getCountOfGood(Good good);
there can also be a method that returns a data structure with the count of each distinct Good in the Invoice
public Map getCountOfEachGood();
Good entity is oblivious of Invoice.

What Happens If You Get Hurt in Basic Training?
Books on black and brown wooden shelf.jpg
The physical stress of recruit training in the U.S. military often leads to injuries and illnesses in all branches of service. While medics and corpsmen can treat most of these with no appreciable time lost from training, some injuries are more serious and take more time to heal. In these instances, several options are available to the military.
1 Rehabilitation
Some injuries require time to heal. This includes musculoskeletal injuries such as severe strains, sprains and broken bones. If a recruit is deemed unable to continue training with one of these injuries, they are sent to a rehabilitation platoon, where they are given physical therapy to help them recover from these injuries, limited training and motivation to continue their full recruit training.
2 Evaluation
Some injuries or illnesses may arise during training that require additional testing, civilian consultations and evaluation on a recruit's training potential. These include asthma, heart murmurs, hemophilia, diabetes and other similar medical conditions that might not have been ascertained in a pre-enlistment screening. Evaluation platoons serve many of the same functions as rehabilitation platoons --training and medical supervision -- but generally serve more as holding areas while the future of a recruit is decided.
3 Medical Separation
Recruits whose injuries or medical conditions are too severe may be unable to continue training. In this case, they are given a medical separation. This informs future employers and recruiters that the recruit was separated from the military because of injury, and not through any fault of their actions. Although medical treatment may continue to be provided by the military, this separation ends the recruits contract.
4 Recycling
If an injury is deemed recoverable following a stay in a rehabilitation or evaluation platoon, a recruit may be sent back to training upon recovery. Due to the length of time involved in most rehabilitation stays, recruits are unable to return to their previous training units, who have typically moved forward, if not completing recruit training altogether. Instead, recruits are recycled, joining training units that are in the same phase of training that they were when the injury occurred.

This handy instructable will teach you the way to make Bacon and Tatos; a healthy breakfast for one or a side dish for two. This can also be made without the bacon, using olive oil rather than the grease.
Step 1: Materials Needed
For this meal you will need:
5 strips of bacon
2 potatoes of small size
2 cutting boards
Step 2: Preparation of Ingrediants
Preheat the pan to a medium temperature. This was about 6 on my stove. Cut up the bacon and the potatoes (After washing them), making sure to use the separate knifes and cutting boards for health reasons.
Step 3: Cooking the Bacon
After making sure all the bacon is cut up, separate the pieces and throw them in the pan. When they begin to shrivle up and brown, flip or stir around the pieces. Let them cook until they are at the consistency you want, then move them to a plate and put the grease aside if you need to cook a second batch.
Step 4: Cooking the Tatos
Throw the potatoes in with any grease from the bacon. Toss, turn, and flip the tatos until they are soft and slightly browned. Season occasionally with the dash and garlic powder.
Step 5: Plate and Eat!!
After the potatoes are sufficiently cooked, add the bacon back into the pan to heat them up a bit. Lastly, Plate the meal and dig in!! I hope this instructable was helpful and delicious! Feedback is greatly appreciated, as this is my first instructable and I hope to make more in the future.

Depicting snow in woodcuts
White inks were not usually employed in printing Japanese woodcuts, so snow was commonly depicted by leaving areas of the paper blank. Snowflakes were usually created by carving nicks out of the surface of the colour blocks, so that flecks of paper appear like flakes of snow.
Here nicks have been carved out of the blocks used to print the man's hair so that it appears as though snowflakes are falling in front of him.
Exceptionally, in special luxury editions or private commissions, white pigment was flicked onto the surface of the paper to create extra snowflakes after the colours had been printed.
The white pigment is whiter than the colour of the paper, so the snowflakes stand out against the snow. This pigment was traditionally made from seashells and known as gofun (calcium carbonate), but lead based whites were also used, as in this example.
The flicked pigment cannot be precisely controlled, so the effect is random in each impression, but in this example the pigment was brushed through holes in a stencil, rather than being flicked, so the snowflakes appear in exactly the same place in each example of the print (some of the snowflakes have darkened over time).
Another way of depicting snow was to emboss the surface of the thick paper using a carved block without any ink. Here this technique has been used to create ridges in the snow behind the women. The ridges are modelled purely by the light falling on the surface of the print.

GAT: a simulation framework for testing the association of genomic intervals.
Heger A., Webber C., Goodson M., Ponting CP., Lunter G.
MOTIVATION: A common question in genomic analysis is whether two sets of genomic intervals overlap significantly. This question arises, for example, when interpreting ChIP-Seq or RNA-Seq data in functional terms. Because genome organization is complex, answering this question is non-trivial. SUMMARY: We present Genomic Association Test (GAT), a tool for estimating the significance of overlap between multiple sets of genomic intervals. GAT implements a null model that the two sets of intervals are placed independently of one another, but allows each set's density to depend on external variables, for example, isochore structure or chromosome identity. GAT estimates statistical significance based on simulation and controls for multiple tests using the false discovery rate. AVAILABILITY: GAT's source code, documentation and tutorials are available at _URL_

I recently realized that a mixed-model with only subject as a random factor and the other factors as fixed factors is equivalent to an ANOVA when setting the correlational structure of the mixed model to compound symmetry.
Therefore I would like to know what does compound symmetry mean in the context of a mixed (i.e., split-plot) ANOVA, at best explained in plain English.
Besides compound symmetry lme offers other types of correlational structures, such as
corSymm general correlation matrix, with no additional structure.
or different types of spatial correlation.
Therefore, I have the related question on which other types of correlational structures may be advisable to use in the context of designed experiments (with betweenand within-subjects factors)?
It would be great if answers could point to some references for different correlational structures.

Since it would be hard for me to explain CS in plain English, just a comment: I like chapter 7 "Examining the Multilevel's Error Covariance Structure" in Singer/Willett's (2003) "Applied Longitudinal Data Analysis". It gives a great overview. – Bernd Weiss Sep 2 '11 at 12:18
I'll second the advice of getting a good textbook. Singer/Willett is good; I also like Weiss (2005) "Modeling Longitudinal Data"; chapter 8 "Modeling the Covariance Matrix" has this specific information. – Aaron Sep 2 '11 at 13:16

Compound symmetry is essentially the "exchangeable" correlation structure, except with a specific decomposition for the total variance. For example, if you have mixed model for the subject $i$ in cluster $j$ response, $Y_{ij}$, with only a random intercept by cluster
$$ Y_{ij} = \alpha + \gamma_{j} + \varepsilon_{ij} $$
where $\gamma_{j}$ is the cluster $j$ random effect with variance $\sigma^{2}_{\gamma}$ and $\varepsilon_{ij}$ is the subject $i$ in cluster $j$ "measurement error" with variance $\sigma^{2}_{\varepsilon}$ and $\gamma_{j}, \varepsilon_{ij}$ are independent. This model implicitly specifies the compound symmetry covariance matrix between observations in the same cluster:
$$ {\rm cov}(Y_{ij}, Y_{kj}) = \sigma^{2}_{\gamma} + \sigma^{2}_{\varepsilon} \cdot \mathcal{I}(k = i) $$
Note that the compound symmetry assumption implies that the correlation between distinct members of a cluster is $\sigma^{2}_{\gamma}/(\sigma^{2}_{\gamma} + \sigma^{2}_{\varepsilon})$.
In "plain english" you might say this covariance structure implies that all distinct members of a cluster are equally correlated with each other and the total variation, $\sigma^{2} = \sigma^{2}_{\gamma} + \sigma^{2}_{\varepsilon}$, can be partitioned into the "shared" (within a cluster) component, $\sigma^{2}_{\gamma}$ and the "unshared" component, $\sigma^{2}_{\varepsilon}$.
Edit: To aid understanding in the "plain english" sense, consider an example where individuals are clustered within families so that $Y_{ij}$ denotes the subject $i$ in family $j$ response. In this case the compound symmetry assumption means that the total variation in $Y_{ij}$ can be partitioned into the variation within a family, $\sigma^{2}_{\varepsilon}$, and the variation between families, $\sigma^{2}_{\gamma}$.

Thank you Kyle! Btw, _USER_, the $\mathcal{I}(k=i)$ bit was just a compact way of writing that, if you're talking about the same individual, then you have perfect correlation (i.e. the covariance is equal to the total variance); i.e. you have $\sigma_{\varepsilon}^2 + \sigma_{\gamma}^2$ down the diagonal and $\sigma_{\gamma}^2$ everywhere else.

Brazil stops to mark black rights
Organisers said 30,000 people attended the events in Sao Paulo
Thousands of people have taken part in celebrations and protests in Brazil to mark Black Consciousness day.
Two of Brazil's biggest cities - Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro - shut down for the day. Events were also held in towns and municipalities across Brazil.
The government of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva designated 20 November as Black Consciousness day in 2003.
It commemorates the 17th Century slave leader Zumbi dos Palmares, who was beheaded by the Portuguese.
'Respect and equality'
In Sao Paulo, where organisers said 30,000 people attended the festivities, rappers and other black musicians performed outside the Se Cathedral.

Inside the cathedral, a Catholic Mass was celebrated that incorporated Afro-Brazilian religious rituals, reported Globo Online.
The state governor, Jose Serra, spoke of the "necessity for respect and equality".
Brazil has more people with black ancestry than any other country outside Africa.
But there are very few black people in the higher echelons of society, including government, Congress and top posts in the civil service and armed forces, say correspondents.
Studies point to a huge economic gulf between the country's black and white population.

Reproduction of the commercial sea cucumber Holothuria scabra (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) in the Solomon Islands
- Over a 3-year period (1996–1998), reproduction of the commercial sea cucumber Holothuria scabra (Jaeger, 1833) was investigated in the Solomon Islands to determine the spawning pattern and whether gametogenesis is continuous or seasonal. The gonad consisted of a single cohort of tubules that developed uniformly. Macroscopic examination of the gonads revealed that mature gametes were present throughout the year. Individuals with gonads at different stages of maturity were present in most samples. Partly spawned gonads were prevalent in females, whereas mature gonads were prevalent in males. The time at which the peak gonad index was recorded differed among years. Although gametogenesis was continuous, with a potential for prolonged gamete release, a period of enhanced spawning occurred during the dry season, from September to December. Maximum gonad indices were reached prior to and during this period of enhanced spawning. Histology revealed that gametogenesis reinitiated in partly spawned gonads, resulting in the presence of gametes at different stages of development in the gonad. The uniform growth of gonad tubules indicated that H. scabra does not conform to the progressive tubule recruitment model described for holothurian oogenesis. Continuous reproduction in H. scabra and prolonged availability of mature gametes would facilitate use of this species for aquaculture.

Using electrodes from different manufacturers
If welding is to be performed according to a welding procedure specification, it is possible that changing the electrode manufacturer will invalidate approval of the procedure to the code/standard on which it was based. The manufacturer or 'trade name' of the electrode can be classed as an essential variable in a given weld procedure. The extent to which re-qualification is necessary will vary from code to code.
For example, in EN ISO 15614-1[1] and in the UK standard BS 4515:2004[2], approval is only restricted to the specific make of electrodeif impact testing is required as part of the procedure qualification. On the other hand, DNV OS-F101[3] states that on changing the brand of consumable, the welding procedure is to be considered invalid, and would need to be re-qualified (see table C-2).
In ASME IX[4] (QW-404.12, supplementary essential variable), the trade name is considered only if the electrode is not covered by an SFA specification or if the designation has a 'G' suffix within an SFA specification. In such cases and if impact testing is required, a change in the trade designation of the filler metal requires requalification.
If the code/standard permits use of another electrode brand, or if welding is not being carried out to a specific procedure, provided there have been no problems with their use, it is still advisable to stick with the consumables used in the code/standard or that which is normally used. This is because electrode classification does not take into account 'useability'. Different brands of electrode (of the same specification) often weld differently, and many welders are sensitive to differences in quality and operating characteristics of electrodes from various manufacturers. On occasion, differences have been identified in electrode performance for the same brand or source of electrode coating materials, which has resulted from a change in the plant where the electrodes are made. Whilst there may be no way of avoiding this, for the other reasons highlighted above the adage 'if it isn't broke, don't try to fix it' is sometimes the best advice regarding changing electrode brands.

Part 2 is easier. If you include your table inside a table environment (\begin{table}\end{table}), it will appear in the \listoftables. Nothing will stop you from inserting a figure with \includegraphics inside the environment.
For Part 1, I usually print foreign information to PostScript and use \includegraphics from the graphicsx package. You may need to process the file in a drawing application to crop the boundaries.

Bernard Street Bridge
|Bernard Street Bridge|
|Location Map ( geo)|
|Crossings related to the A199|
The Bernard Street Bridge carries the primary A199 over the Water of Leith in Leith. The bridge appears to date from the 1960s, consisting of three shallow concrete arches across the river. The size of the structure is deceptive, with much of it hidden under the water level which is maintained at an unnaturally high level by lock gates. In the past the Water of Leith was tidal.
Looking at the bridge today, it seems hard to imagine that it carries a primary route, being lined with parked cars, and taxi ranks, where it may once have been S4. However, with a traffic signal controlled junction on the west side of the bridge, and a steady flow of traffic in each direction the bridge is still busy.
Somewhere in this area is the site of the first bridge at Leith, built by the church in 1496. The bridge was demolished in c1780, when the expansion of Leith as a Port was already underway, and the removal of the bridge presumably opened up more of the river banks for development as wharves.
Another bridge, known as the Lower Drawbridge (the Upper Drawbridge is now known as Sandport Place Bridge), stood a little to the north of the modern bridge, seemingly requiring traffic to dogleg at each end to continue along the main Bernard Street - Commercial Street thoroughfare. This bridge was demolished in 1910.
Undoubtedly there have been other bridges on this site, or near to it, in the missing years between the two bridges mentioned above. However, more research is required to discover where they were, when they were built and what they looked like. Undoubtedly most would have allowed ships or boats to pass through them.
