I've created a new library for Arduino to append data to files in microSD memory cards. It is based on previous work by David Cuartiello, and it has been used in GPSLogger by Raúl Hevia.
This project focus in just one simple functionality: logging data to a file in SD cards from Arduino boards.
We are trying to get it 1) fast and 2) small, so this library can be used in other projects based on arduino with little impact on memory resources and performance.
By now, it takes about 175 mSecs to append 512 bytes to the file, so transfer rate is about 2925 bytes per second.
The library memory footprint is:
 * 3764 bytes in program memory (Flash)
 * 542 bytes in data memory (SRAM)
The library has been contributed as OpenSource unde GPL license, you can find source code here:
Does the SD card need to be prepared in any fashion, does it need to be formatted a certain way, before using it with this library?
Does the card need to have a file created, with a particular label, before using it with the library?
Can data be added to more than one file on the SD card?
Using FileLogger, where would data be entered on the arduino board (which pin, or pins)?
My Hardware/Libraries already has an MMC folder, I'm assuming that it will be different from MMC folder that the FileLogger requires, which would result in a conflict. (I'm assuming)
Hi prakat,
yes, the SD card need to be formated with FAT16.
You need to create a file in the root folder, the name is not important as you will give the name of the file when you call the function append(). In fact you can log to more than one file specifying differente file names. The only restriction for the files is that the size must not be zero (at least one character must be written before using the liberay).
This library has been tested with the microSD shield by Libelium: _URL_
Anyway I guess this should work with any SPI aware shield.
There should be no conflict with mmc library, as I didn't modify it.
Hope this help
Thanks edugarcia!
I am looking forward to trying this out.
So far, I can't get the example to compile. I get:
In function 'void loop()':
error: 'File_logger' was not declared in this scope
The 3.o files were created when I started the IDE. Am I missing something?
~ Clifford Stoll
try to update from subversion, I changed the example some days ago and forgot to change the example code. The point is that from now on you should use FileLogger::append() instead of File_logger.append().
sorry about it,
How is data read from the SD card?
Can data be entered directly to a PC from the card via USB?
Thank you for your previous information. :)
yes, data can be read directly from PC. You can open the file with any text editor (i.e. notepad).
What's your experience regarding when you can pull the card? Must power be off?
~ Clifford Stoll
in my experience you can pull the card anytime, I haven't had any special care about it and never lost data.
Anyway, I have found from time to time (maybe 1 in 20 times) that the system doesn't recognise the card after inserting it, so write fails (the function append() returns!= 0). A friend has proposed a workaround: to write some header in the file before writing the real data. If this write fails, the led blinks five times to inform, so you should remove and re-insert the card. It isn't a perfect solution, but it works.
I've uploaded a new release of the library, V05.
I have removed from MMC the SPI related code, and I have coupled MMC to the Arduino SPI Library instead, as some of you have reported having problems with SPI and this library.
By the way, if you are using SPI in your projects, you can remove Spi.cpp from FileLogger library, it will work.
Together with some small changes in code, we have won 163 bytes in Flash memory in this release, so total size is 3601 bytes now.
Enjoy it,
Eduardo García.
Will this library tolerate the following scenario?
1 - I write several lines to the SD Card
2 - I remove the SD card and re-insert it
3 - I write more lines to the SD Card
I am trying it with your example code, and I get file errors when I try to write after re-inserting the card. The only way to fix it seems to be resetting the Arduino.
I guess there is some conflict with the monitor serial libraries that I'm using to read keystrokes and write messages, so from time to time I have found such errors, but I think if you use fileLogger in a standalone application, with no monitor, it will work fine.
Anyway, there is a workaround: anytime you find errors writing after re-inserting the card, close and reopen the serial line (click on the icon at the upper right). This will not reset Arduino, only the serial line.
_USER_, I had the same problem (I am using the SD card socket from Sparkfun, not MicroSD, with a Panasonic card). Also, mine is running on solar and if the voltage dropped and then came back up, the card would stop working.
I made a change in nanofat.cpp (this is a TOTAL hack, but I may go through it again when I have time). Basically it was erroring out in locateFileStart when it called mmc::readSector. I added code to line 183, after the second-to-last closing bracket in the function:
Code: [Select]
} [glow]else {
 return false;
So it will still return false to show it had an error, but it will reinitialize the card and usually works on the next write, although sometimes it take 2 writes to kick it back on.
I anybody with better coding skillz wants to improve on my hack, feel free. :D
I'm using FileLogger lib.
I would like to create a function for logging info bat i have a problem with variables:
my code:
Code: [Select]
void write_log(char msg[]){
 byte buffer[length];
 buffer = msg;
 FileLogger::append(FILE_LOG, buffer, length);
on my loop:
Code: [Select]
write_log("test 123 prova 123");
but error generated
Code: [Select]
In function 'void write_log(char*)':
error: incompatible types in assignment of 'char*' to 'byte [(((unsigned int)(((int)length) + -0x000000001)) + 1)]

# Feast # Saints
Saint Hunna
The 15th of April is the feast day of Saint Hunna (d. 679). She is also known as Una. She is the patron saint of laundresses, laundry workers, and washerwomen.
Saint Hunna was born in Alsace France and was a daughter of a Duke. She married a nobleman though both did not indulge themselves in luxuries. Instead, they opened their home to the poor. Saint Deodatus, the bishop, when he resigned from his See, lived with them and they grew in sanctity from his religious instruction. Hunna had a son, whom he named after Saint Deodatus. Her son joined the monastery and is also a saint. After her husband died, Saint Hunna continued spending her life serving the poor, especially the women in Strasbourg, France. She tended the sick and poor, doing their laundry and mending. She was known as the "Holy Washerwoman." She gave away her wealth and property in order to build churches and monasteries. Many miracles were attributed to her, and she was canonised by Pope Leo X in 1520.

A harmonic reduction technique for cycloconverter propulsion drives.
IEE 7th International Conference on Electrical Machines and Drives.
It is well known that cycloconverter drive systems can give rise to increased motor noise and vibration. This is mainly due to the harmonic distortion present in the output voltage and current waveforms. This paper describes research undertaken to reduce specific harmonic components in these waveforms. The aim has been to reduce those harmonics considered to be particularly troublesome in a typical marine electrical propulsion system. Specific harmonics in the output of the cycloconverter have been satisfactorily controlled and attenuated.

How To Breakdown Stuck Tractor Tire?
How do you break down a tractor tire?
Use a sledgehammer or crowbar to break the bead of the tire. If you have a large tractor tire, use a sledgehammer to strike the tire just above the edge of the rim where they connect to break the bead. Continue hitting the tire around the entire circumference of the rim to break the seal completely.
How do you break a stubborn tire bead?
Basically what you do is just leave a a couple psi of air in the tires, and lay the wheel on its side, and step on the tire with your foot. It is a tight fit, but use your body weight to break the bead. This works, done it several times.
How much does it cost to change a tractor tire?
Can I cut a tire off a rim?
The tire is held to the rim by an area called the bead. The sidewall in between the bead and tread surface is relatively weak on steel belted radial tires. You can cut though it with a the drywall knife pictured. You will however need a saw blade or cutoff wheel for the bead wires.

The previous post looked at User Defined Functions (UDFs) for working with vectors, including examples of functions to find the area of polygons defined by coordinates. In this post the functions will be extended to find other section properties (such as first and second moment of area), and compared with the functions presented previously in Section Properties07.xlsb. The new functions (including full open source code) can be downloaded from: SecPropV.xlsb. The new function returns up to 14 values as an array function; refer to Using Array Formulas if you are not familiar with their use.
The code used in the new functions is shown below:
For i = 1 To Num1 - 1 j = i + 1 Vect1(i, 1) = Coords(i, 1) Vect1(i, 2) = Coords(i, 2) Vect2(i, 1) = Coords(j, 1) Vect2(i, 2) = Coords(j, 2) CrosspA(i) = Vect1(i, 1) * Vect2(i, 2) - Vect1(i, 2) * Vect2(i, 1) Next i k = 1 For i = 1 To Num1 - 1 Area = Area + CrosspA(i) Next i Area = -Area / 2
First Moment of Area (about X axis):
For i = 1 To Num1 - 1 AX = AX + CrosspA(i) * (Vect1(i, 2) + Vect2(i, 2)) Next i AX = -AX / 6
Second Moment of Area (about X axis):
For i = 1 To Num1 - 1 IX = IX + (Vect1(i, 2) ^ 2 + Vect2(i, 2) ^ 2 + Vect1(i, 2) * Vect2(i, 2)) * CrosspA(i) Next i IX = -IX / 12
The full list of properties returned by the function is:
The performance of the new function is compared below with the previous version in computing the section properties of a circle defined with 1 million points on the circumference:
It can be seen that the new function (red line) has very little advantage for the area function, but the calculation of first and second moment of area is substantially faster. For both functions the calculation of section properties relative to different axes is almost instantaneous.
Details of input are shown below:
Input XY coordinates must be listed in a 2 column range, with the last point being the same as the first. Points should be listed in a clockwise direction to return a positive area. As shown in the example, a hollow shape my be analysed by entering the outer boundary in the clockwise direction, then the inner boundary in the anti-clockwise direction, finally returning to the starting point on the outer boundary along the same line.
If not all the output values are required the number to be calculated may be specified in the optional NumOut argument. Alternatively, enter -1 list the symbols for each output value in sequence, or -2 for a description of each value.
Finally, if only the area is required, the algorithm taken from the Softsurfer site is considerably faster, at about 0.25 seconds for the 1 million segment circle. An example of the Area2D and Area3D functions is shown below:
Area = 0 For i = 2 To n - 1 j = i + 1 k = i - 1 Area = Area + PointVals(i, 1) * (PointVals(j, 2) - PointVals(k, 2)) Next i Area = Area + PointVals(i, 1) * (PointVals(1, 2) - PointVals(i - 1, 2)) Area = -Area / 2

Sunburnt Aloe Vera Plant from Too Much Sun – Signs + Fixes
One of the most overlooked habits most people growing an aloe vera plant do is letting it bathe in the scorching sun for more extended periods. While the sun is essential for the healthy growth of aloe, too much of it can burn its leaves. Like any other houseplant, an aloe is sensitive to sudden temperature changes and negligence.
Signs for a sunburnt aloe vera plant
A healthy aloe vera should be fleshy, firm, and green. However, determine if your aloe's leaves are wilting or changing color due to overwatering, pests and diseases, potting shock, or too much sun because the symptoms are almost similar. If you suspect that sun scorch is the problem, watch out for the signs.
Here are the signs of a sunburnt aloe plant:
Burn spots on the leaves
Sunburnt aloe plants have burn spots that may appear darkish brown, greyish or black depending on how much of the sun's intensity it has received. Some spots may protrude on the surface of the leaves.
If you notice this symptom, it's time you removed it away from the sun.
Brown leaf tips
The green-colouring matter should be evenly distributed from the base to the tip of the leaf. A sign of brown to fading green signifies sunburn. It's the plant's way of crying for help, prompting you to make a few adjustments.
Even browning of leaves
While browning leaves may be a sign of overwatering or pests and diseases, sunburn can also cause. It's easy to know if the latter is the culprit, mainly if you haven't watered your plant for a while and you're sure that pests or diseases haven't attacked it.
For the first few days, the aloe plant's leaves will start turning yellow but will quickly progress into a darker shade to indicate that the leaves are losing too much water due to sunburn.
Total soil dryness
Take note that soil gets drier during summer and winter. If the soil in your garden or pot is visibly drier than the rest of the days, chances are there is no moisture left in the soil for the plant to feed on.
Therefore, water the roots through the soil at least twice a month during the summer months because the high temperatures increase water loss through leaves and even evaporation from the soil in the pot. The plant doesn't need too much watering during winter.
Droopy and wilting leaves
Aloe vera leaves might lose moisture causing them to become droopy when exposed to too much sunlight. At this point, your succulent is thirsty and if you don't provide water, it will show signs of drooping leaves (wilting) then die if the lack of water is prolonged.
However, sometimes wilting or droopiness of the plant can be caused by other reasons such as the plant being top-heavy, too much moisture, pests, and diseases. Overwatering in aloe vera plants is in most cases the major cause of drooping leaves and not due to sunburn.
Can an aloe plant recover from sunburn?
An aloe can recover from sunburn if you move the plant to a shaded area and water it lightly. Remove the affected leaves and leave the healthy ones to acclimate. If the plant is in a pot, place it in a room that only receives bright indirect light.
Here are a few tips to help your sunburnt aloe recover faster:
 - Since the soil in the pot is dry, add just enough water to make it moist instead of making it too wet. Too much water can lead to root rot that can also kill the succulent.
 - Keep an eye on it for three to four days.
 - If the adjustments fail to revive the scorched aloe, move it to another room until you see positive changes.
For aloes planted in gardens, consider mounting a shade-like structure to it. For example, you can construct the shade using four wooden sticks and dried grass. Dip the sticks into the soil so that it forms a wall-like structure. Use three extra posts to support the dried grass. Now mount the dried grass on top of the four sticks.
Alternatively, you can uproot the plant and re-plant it in a pot using a fresh potting mix. Finally, place the pot in an area with shade.
How to Revive a Sunburnt Aloe Plant
Now that you've known the symptoms of a sunburnt aloe plant, it's time to revive it. The trick to save your aloe plant is to remove anything that increases its chances of wilting due to sunburn.
Here's how to revive a sunburnt aloe plant:
1. Move the pot away from direct sunlight
Assuming your aloe vera plant got sunburns because the pot was in a room allowing direct sunlight, simply move the pot somewhere with indirect sunlight. Ensure the new area receives as little sunlight as possible.
For example, move the plant from an east-facing window to a south facing window, or any window that receives few hours of indirect sunlight. With time, you should see some improvement.
2. Water the succulent to keep the root zone moist
A sunburnt aloe vera plant signifies thirst. That means you have to water it from the roots by placing it in a bowl of water. Leave it there for two to three days. On the third day, you should see the brown leaves turning green again.
From here, you can re-pot it and place it in a room receiving indirect sunlight.
3. Adjust the watering frequency with the seasons
If previously you were used to watering your aloe once a month, it would be best to readjust the watering pattern to two to three week to prevent aloe leaves from being sunburnt during summer.
Slightly increasing the amount of water will help revive the sunburn on your aloe vera plant as soon as the signs start to appear and also while they are still reversible.
4. Cut off the sunburnt leaves
Unfortunately, not all leaves will recover or fade into a tan no matter what you do. If your plant is burnt beyond measure, your only option is to cut off the damaged leaves.
But if they are showing signs of improvement, you can trim them. Use a sharp knife or clippers to avoid damaging the entire leaf structure.
How to prevent aloe plant from sunburn
It's important to note that aloe can survive harsh weather conditions, but that doesn't mean it's immune to the side effects of sunburns. Whether you are a beginner in planting aloes or a professional gardening enthusiast, learning how to prevent an aloe plant from sunburn can save you from heartaches in the future.
The secret is to allow your aloe vera to build up to stronger sun exposure slowly. Let it acclimate to different light settings than they are in.
Prevention of sunburns also involves getting your plant to harden off. This works by placing it outside for full shade for five to six days, then slowly introducing it to two to three hours of the morning sun.
Avoid the afternoon sun as much as you can then from there, increase your plant's sun exposure to over two to three weeks.
Suppose you notice your aloe is struggling with symptoms like browning or wilting away, then there might be other underlying causes other than sun scorch. If the leaves appear mushier and brown than before, your plant could be low on moisture because water should reach the tips last.
You're probably thinking of overwatering as a last resort when in the real sense, you could be doing more harm than good. Consider changing the soil and pot and repeat the process. If it still doesn't revive, it's time to start over with a new plant.
One of the perks that come with planting aloe vera is its resilient nature. It's the reason it grows even in the harshest conditions. However, no matter how tolerant your plant may be, learn from your mistakes. Your watering pattern should neither be obsessive or negligent. Only ensure the plant receives adequate water and sunlight so that you can reap the benefits of having it as a houseplant.

Wood-mosaic has a long history in the Levant, and it is of particular significance to artisans in Damascus. It is often created using a number of different woods, such as walnut, olive, eucalyptus, cherry, lemon, and rose woods. Mother-of-pearl can also be used. The woods are cut into strips and fitted together to create a design, forming long trunks stored by artisans for future pieces. The artisan will select the trunk to use and slice it, and this slice will then be inlaid into wood to create a geometric design. Detailed and intricate wood-mosaic has now all but disappeared as artisans produce less complex designs. In Jordan, a small community of wood-mosaic artisans are practising and preserving the craft by passing their knowledge to a new generation of apprentices.


Connect to your data
To be effective as a data science tool, RapidMiner Studio has to first connect to your data.
 - If the data is in a file on your computer, RapidMiner Studio has to read the file format.
 - If the data is in a database, RapidMiner Studio has to connect to that database, and know the language of that database (SQL / NoSQL).
 - If the data is in the cloud, RapidMiner Studio has to connect to the cloud service and know its API.
 - If the data is imported from or exported to another software tool, for example Python or Tableau, RapidMiner Studio has to know about that tool.
 - If the connection is via a proxy or a self-signed SSL certificate, RapidMiner Studio has to navigate that hurdle.
The good news is that RapidMiner Studio supports a wide range of file formats, databases, cloud services, and other software tools, either natively or via extensions.
Connection Objects
The concept of a connection object was introduced in RapidMiner Studio 9.3.
You can convert your legacy connections into connection objects.
When the connection to your data occurs over a network, you must first create a connection object. A connection object enables the connection to a database, cloud, or email service. All connection objects are stored in a repository, in the Connection Folder Icon Connections subfolder.
From now on, we'll simply call them connections, remembering however that they have similarities to other objects in the repository. You can, for example, drag a database connection into the Process Panel to Retrieve it, before connecting the output to the Read Database Operator.
To create a connection, right-click on the Connection Folder Icon Connections folder, and select Create Connection Icon Create Connection. The Create connection dialog opens, and you can configure your connection. If you're connecting to an SQL database:
 1. Choose the Connection Type (DB Connection Icon Database), Repository (where the connection will be stored) and Connection Name.
 2. Press Create Connection Icon Create and the Edit Connection dialog opens.
 3. Under the Setup tab, select the Database System and fill in User, Password, Host, Port, and (optionally) the Database name.
 4. Press Test Connection Icon Test connection. Once it's working, Save IconSave the connection. The connection will appear in the Connection Folder Icon Connections subfolder of the repository you selected in step (1).
You can view the connection details at any time by double-clicking on the connection in the Repository Panel, or by right-clicking on the connection and choosing Open Icon Open or Open Icon Edit.
Injected parameters: sharing connections
Connection objects can be shared.
Suppose that a group of users has access to the same database, and they collaborate on RapidMiner Server. Can they share the database connection, without sharing their usernames and passwords? The answer is yes!
The solution is to build the connection as a template, where all the common parameters are pre-filled, and all the parameters unique to each user are injected. The values of the injected parameters are not stored in the connection object, but retrieved from an external source every time the connection is used. Possible external sources include macros and secure storage on RapidMiner Server.
To create a connection in a RapidMiner Server repository, or to copy a connection to a RapidMiner Server repository, a user has to belong to the connection manager group. See Sharing and permissions.
In outline, assuming the database credentials will be securely stored on RapidMiner Server, the whole process of using a connection template might proceed as follows. We'll call the user with the connection manager role the admin.
 1. Within RapidMiner Studio, the admin creates a connection in a RapidMiner Server repository. While it's possible to create a connection in a local repository, that connection will only provide macros as an injection source.
 2. While editing the connection, the admin presses the button Inject Parameters Icon Set injected parameters and selects the parameters whose values will be left blank until later (e.g. User and Password). The admin must also choose RapidMiner Server as the source of the injected values.
 3. To set the injected values, a user must connect to the web interface of RapidMiner Server. Either click the link displayed in the Edit connection dialog
 or connect directly to the web interface, then navigate to Repository > Connections, and identify the connection by name. A warning says: This connection has missing values. The user clicks the link, fills in his or her own username and password, and presses the button Save in RapidMiner Server, where the credentials are securely saved. Step (3) needs to be repeated by each individual user.
For more details, read the RapidMiner Server documentation Create connections and Usage and injection.
Macros as a source of injected parameters
Within RapidMiner Studio, using values from process macros for your connection settings is immediately possible. When editing a connection, press Inject Parameters Icon Set injected parameters and choose which parameters should get values from macros. The macro name then needs to match the parameter key to be able to inject that value. The parameter key can be found in the information next to the parameter.
Configuration for the macro source is optional. Without configuring a prefix, the macro name has to match the parameter key. If the prefix for the configuration is given, the macro name has to match the prefix followed by an underscore (_), ending with the parameter key. For the prefix myprefix the parameter key user would require the macro name
The macro that should be used will be shown when setting injection, as well as in the view and edit dialogs themselves.
Use this for your macro to properly inject it into the connection.
Placeholders can be used inside any configuration parameter's value to reference other parameters. It is possible to concatenate placeholders and free text. Nesting of placeholders is not supported.
Since the syntax for placeholders is the same as for macros, it is important to make the context clear:
 - The context for macros is processes.
 - The context for placeholders is connections.
A placeholder can access parameter values from the current tab as well as from any other tab. To find out the key of a field you want to reference via placeholder in a different field, look at the information tooltip of the original field. The Full key is what you're looking for:
To use this placeholder in another field, simply reference the full key in the other field by surrounding it with a percentage sign (%) and curly brackets ({}), like this:
If a placeholder cannot be resolved, it is simply replaced with an empty string, but still counts as an injected value and will not fail the process execution.
The JDBC based database connections use this mechanism to create the URL from the parameters.
Without parameter information the URL consists of several placeholders and a double colon. By setting the parameters these values are replaced.
Use the placeholder system exactly like this to configure dynamic parameter values.

Welcome to FRAmes on GENder
For the first time, core feminist texts from the second wave of feminism in Europe have been made available to researchers in an easily accessible online database. The FRAGEN project brings together books, articles and pamphlets that were influential in the development of feminist ideas in 29 countries during the second half of the 20th century.
29 Countries, 29 partners select core feminist texts in EuropeThe selected texts have been digitised and made available in a database. Making this information available will allow for comparative research into the history of feminist ideas in different European countries.
The database developed in FRAGEN has two goals:

social justice: promoting respect and equity upon all people of all minority and majority demographics
SJA: short for social justice activist/activism/awareness - promoting social justice with the specific goal of educating people to be more equitable and respectful of all people regardless of demographic (or, someone who does all this). Best taken as a compliment.
SJW: short for social justice warrior/wanker - someone who uses social justice and social justice activism/awareness to bully, harass, and dogpile people, often over semantic mistakes as much as legitimate offense, refusing to accept apologies or acknowledge mistakes for being just that, and general using SJ(A) to be an asshole. As you can probably tell, it's generally not used as a compliment.

Electric vehicle in Farming
In India, more than 60% of the total land is used for farming and nearly 70% of the household in rural areas are dependent primarily on income generated by farming. But the use of heavy machinery in India is quite limited to tractors and harvesters. This is a good place to explore the opportunity for Electric Vehicles in Farming. There is a huge market for Electric Powered Machinery in a Farming sector.
a mini electric tractor for plowing and harvesting crops with several attachments.
Organic farming has been rising steadily and its economic status is increasing day by day. In the last decade use of harmful Chemicals pesticides and fertilizers are being banned and heavily criticized in the food industry. while this is a good step but the same farming culture has seen Rise in the use of heavy machinery for farming. this machinery is so big that they require diesel engines for their operation. this diesel engine using fossil fuels for their operation thus creating pollution. the organic food Industries means for the healthy food we are supporting the dirty fossil fuel industry.

What is a conservation covenant?
The legal definition of a covenant is: A promise contained in a deed to land or real estate which is binding upon the current owner and all future owners. It defines the limitations, conditions or restrictions on the use of that land.
A conservation covenant is a voluntary agreement made between a landholder and an authorised body (such as a Covenant Scheme Provider) that aims to protect and enhance the natural, cultural and/or scientific values of certain land. The owner continues to own, use and live on the land while the natural values of an area are conserved by the landholder in partnership with the Covenant Scheme Provider.
Covenant Scheme Providers can be not-for-profit organisations, government agencies or local Councils that can enter into conservation covenants with landholders to protect land with conservation values.
Covenants agreed through approved programs can be eligible for taxation concessions.
More information on tax concessions:
- Tax concessions for landowners who enter into conservation covenants
- Tax incentives for conservation.
If your organisation is a Covenant Scheme Provider and you would like your covenant scheme to be approved for the purposes of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, read our guidelines for approval of a covenanting program.

Cabinetmaking is a specialty area within the field of carpentry and building trades. This field of study includes basic woodworking as well as more advanced cabinetmaking and furniture-making techniques. Cabinetmaking can be done within a production, manufacturing environment, or as an individual artisan specializing in custom design and building.
SUNY Delhi offers a one-year Cabinetmaking certificate as part of the Carpentry and Building Trades curriculum. This certificate program can be taken by itself, or it can be combined with further instruction in Carpentry to yield an associate's degree. This program's objective is to educate students in both the theory and practice of woodworking and cabinetmaking. The program includes extensive laboratory hours during which students develop and practice the skills of the cabinetmaker.
Students who enroll in the Carpentry and Building Trades associate's degree programs have the option of including one or two semesters of woodworking/cabinetmaking in the second year of their program.
The job titles associated with graduates of the Cabinetmaking certificate program are:
There are career opportunities in residential construction, in sub-contracting, and in sole ownership of a cabinetmaking shop. Students who continue on for the associate's degree increase their options for employment in the carpentry and construction fields.
Graduates of the associate's degree programs also have options for further study at the bachelor's degree level. For example, the College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) at Syracuse offers a B.S. degree in Wood Products Technology.
A related career option would be to transfer to a school with a Technology Education or a Vocational Education bachelor's degree, which would lead to a teaching career at the high school level. In New York State, two schools that offer this degree are SUNY Oswego and SUNY Buffalo.

From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Meet the Pokémon is a Pokémon guide book for beginning readers. It includes details on various aspects of the Pokémon world, in a basic format as it is for beginning readers. It was written by Michael Teitelbaum and published by BradyGames (under the "DK Readers" imprint) in 2008. It is 32 pages in length.
The book details a variety of Pokémon subjects, such as the Pokémon species themselves, the Pokémon world, and things that are encountered in a Pokémon Trainer's journey such as Gyms and the Poké Ball. It describes various Sinnoh Pokémon, details of Pokémon battling, and places where Pokémon may be found, such as tall grass. Additionally, it details the relationship Trainers such as Ash have with their Pokémon.
Pokémon under possession of Trainers
Pokémon described in detail (Page 20-25):
Pokémon featured in the evolution listing:
Get to know the Pokémon, the people who train them, and their exciting world!
- At one point, the book describes Turtwig as being made from soil. Although it is true that Turtwig's shell is made of soil and it is possible that this was the statement intended, Turtwig are not actually made of soil.
- It states that Glalie evolves into Froslass. Both Pokémon actually evolve from Snorunt. Glalie evolves from Snorunt at level 42, and Froslass evolves from female Snorunt when exposed to a Dawn Stone.


Keeping fit and active is one of the best defences against Covid-19, both physically and mentally. Claremont Road Runners are happy to encourage socially distanced training sessions for those interested.
We are guided on what is permissible and how to train by England Athletics ( and Rise (
We suggest that when current guidance permits you use email, Facebook etc to arrange to meet with others and run together. So far, during the Covid epidemic, socially distant training sessions have permitted limited numbers to run together (first six individuals, then later just two individuals).
Guidance for running with others during the Covid pandemic
 1. Maintain social distance and remain at least 2 metres from others.
 2. If you are feeling at all unwell then please do not run.
 3. Consider if your health, or someone you live with, places you in a more vulnerable category with respect to Covid. Decide whether it is appropriate for you to take part in group sessions. Government advice is available online.
 4. It is everyone's responsibility to obey social distancing rules. If you feel others are not sticking to the rules, then say something.
 5. There will be no toilet or changing facilities at sessions, so arrive ready to run.
 6. Consider how if you suffer an injury, you will you get home or first aid? You may want to carry cash, a card or first aid kit
 7. If you have not trained for some time, then take it easy to begin with. Injuries are much more common if you have had a period of less stressful training.
 8. If you test positive for Covid-19 after running with others, then please inform the club secretary (, who will let those you have run with know. As we run in a covid-safe environment, contact with others should be minimal, and the risk of infection should be small.
Running Risk Assessment
Hazard Risk Precaution Revised risk
The coronavirus is transmitted by infected persons exhaling droplets containing viral particles. High Assume everyone you meet is infectious. Stay alert and maintain social distancing. Low
The virus can stay alive on various surfaces for several days. High Do not touch anything unnecessarily. Do not touch any your face without removing your gloves or washing your hands first. Low
Exercising near an infected person for an extended period greatly increases the risk of inhaling the virus. High Do not run directly behind another runner. If you have to run in line, allow at least 4 metres from the runner in front. This can be reduced if you run diagonally behind them. Where space allows, run alongside each other rather than in line Low
Although a runner is moving too quickly to have a significant risk of being infected by pedestrians etc that they pass, runners can leave a cloud of infected aerosol vapour behind that could infect others High Maintain a safe distance of at least 2 metres from other road/footpath users. Give warning of approach so that others can take avoiding action if they wish Low


The Common Good
The Power to Dominate and the Power to Love
As Christians, our continual task is to explore and mediate on Jesus' teachings, as well as to emulate his deeds. Central to this two-fold task is comprehending the type of power Jesus wielded, namely the power to love. It often sounds repetitive to state that the poor carpenter loved those who were outcast by the dominant first-century Palestine social powers. But it is certainly worth repeating, for so radical was his power to love that it led to his dehumanizing demise.
Liberation theologian Leonardo Boff states that two powers were operative in the first-century oppressive Palestinian context: 1) exousia (Greek), which is the power to unite through patience and understanding of others; and 2) potestas (Latin), meaning the power to dominate through sheer force

JD Vs. LLB Law Degree
Lawyer sitting in front of laptop at desk
... DeanDrobot/iStock/Getty Images
The law degrees J.D. and LL.B. have similarities and differences. They are awarded primarily based on the country standard where the degree is earned, and are both considered a first-level law degree.
1 Definition of J.D. and LL.B Degrees
The J.D. degree stands for Juris Doctor, and the LL.B. Degree stands for Legum Baccalaureus, which literally means Bachelor of Laws. A J.D. degree is required in most states to gain entrance to the bar.
2 History of the LL.B. Degree
The LL.B. is based on English "common law." Until the mid-1960s, it was the benchmark law degree for all common law countries, including the U.S. In the 1970s, U.S. law schools changed to the J.D. degree. Although the LL.B. degree was the standard law degree in Europe for hundreds of years, in 1820, Harvard University became the first American university to award the LL.B. degree.
3 Differences Between the Two
Unlike the bachelor-level LL.B., the J.D. is a post-graduate, three-year professional law degree. In addition to being the standard degree to practice law in the U.S., the J.D. is becoming more customary in Canada, Hong Kong, Australia and elsewhere.
4 Curriculum Similarities
Although each degree's curricula focus on the practice of law, the LL.B. is more academic in nature. The recipient of an LL.B. may require further accreditation before entering practice, depending on the country. This may not apply in countries where the LL.B. is earned as a post-graduate degree. In such cases, the LL.B. and J.D. may be treated equally.
5 Misconceptions
While the J.D. degree is technically a doctoral degree, recipients are not addressed as "Dr." That is reserved for a more advanced law degree -- for example, Doctor of Juridical Science, or J.S.D.

Smartphones have been around for at least several years now, but they still have certain limitations. Despite having a plethora of wireless technologies built-in--Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, etc.--there's no simple way to transfer "clippings" of data from one device to another. But a new research project at MIT called Sparsh is aiming to fix that oversight.
Sparsh (the Hindi word for "touch") isn't an app, at least not in the way we generally use the word. It's a tool that's supposed to be part of a mobile operating system, like "undo" or "select all," running within apps at all times. It creates a virtual cloud-based clipboard where any data, like a phone number or photograph, can temporarily live until it's "pasted" to another device.
For it to work, at least two devices need to be Sparsh-enabled. A user wanting to share data becomes, in concept, an avatar for a copy-and-paste-like function. The person touches data on a device, such as a photo or text, and Sparsh sends it to the cloud. The same person then touches another device, and presto! The relevant information is pasted in as if it had been copied from the same machine.
Sparsh isn't the only tool for transferring small amounts of device-to-device data on the scene. Indeed, a popular iPhone app called Bump allows people to trade photos, apps, contact info, and even music from one phone to another simply by bumping the devices together.
Bump is very cool, but it requires both the sender and recipient to be running the app. In addition, it's not open with what it can send or where it can send it--it only works from phone to phone, and while there are many options for things it can send, there are more things it simply can't. Sparsh aims to live in the devices we use at the operating-system level, meaning it would seem intuitive to use and be available within any app for almost any type of data. … Read more

|Factors affecting the appearance|
Since x-rays are used to obtain CT images, the density of a structure affects the final image of a CT in a similar manner.
Dense structures, like bone, attenuate more of the x-ray beam and appear white. Less dense structures, like air, attenuate less of the x-ray beam and appear black. Soft tissue structures are of intermediate densities and appear as varying shades of gray.
The CT detectors are much more sensitive than conventional radiograph cassettes. With the detector and beam rotation allowing for the accumulation of many data points in one slice, spatial resolution is excellent, and subtle differences in soft tissue densities are visible which are not noted on routine x-ray.


Discount criteria
The discount criteria are used when creating discounts for selected users and/or roles. The criteria allow you to specify the ID of a user or role that the discount to be applied to. A discount can have more than one discount criteria set assigned to it.

text: This paper presents further investigations into the axisymmetric progressive crushing behaviour of metal tubes subject to quasi-static axial loads. Based on experiments and a finite element analysis, a new, more realistic theoretical model is developed by introducing the concept of effective plastic hinge length which is proportional to tube thickness. The theoretical crushing force history, mean crushing force and plastic half-wavelength are compared with experiments and finite element analysis results. It is found that for normalized mean crushing force, P m / M o, better agreement is obtained using the present theoretical model than previous ones. This analysis helps explain the paradox between the D/t exponent calculated from experimental results and previous theoretical predictions. Also, a good estimate of plastic half-wavelength, h, is also obtained.

The flow directions are determined by finding the steepest descent from each cell in the DEM. The distance and direction of descent is calculated by using the eight neighborhood process (ESRI, 1992) adapted from Jenson and Domingue (1988). Once flow directions are developed, basin delineation can be accomplished.

All About Bird Eggs
Many of us at the New-York Historical Society have Audubon-mania. Our new exhibition of bird watercolors by John James Audubon, Audubon's Aviary, has brought a lot of excitement to the museum's galleries. Exploring the exhibition and seeing so many beautiful paintings of birds made me wonder what their eggs look like. I know that bird eggs can be just as beautiful as their plumage—Robin Egg Blue has always been my favorite Crayola crayon color—so I was surprised to discover that very few of Audubon's bird studies in the exhibition include eggs. I was even more surprised to see that in two of the paintings, it looks as though the birds are stealing or eating other birds' eggs. In one watercolor, three blue jays appear to be ferociously devouring another bird's eggs. And in another, adult robins are feeding their young, while one adult robin towards the top of the image seems to have a white egg in its mouth.

Is egg-stealing something birds actually do? I did some research to answer this question and others I had about bird eggs.
1) Do some birds eat other birds' eggs?
Blue jays and other members of the crow family are notorious egg-stealers. They are intelligent and aggressive and will raid other birds' nests to steal eggs, young birds, and even the nest itself. So yes, the blue jays in the painting are indeed eating another bird's eggs. Audubon wrote of the blue jay, "Who could imagine that a form so graceful…should harbor so much mischief."
As for the robin, although it initially appeared to me that the bird in the above painting is eating an egg, this is not something robins are known to do. Robins' diets consist of worms, fruits and berries, and more worms. Through my research, I found another painting of robins by Aududon. In this painting, the birds are sitting on a branch and eating berries that look a lot like the round white object I originally thought was an egg in the other painting. Mystery solved. The robin was not eating an egg, but a piece of fruit.

2) What is the largest bird egg?
The ostrich egg is the largest of all bird eggs, averaging at 3.3 lbs. It's around the size of a cantaloupe.

3) Which birds lay the most colorful eggs?
There are many bird species that lay eggs with beautiful coloring. Among them are robin eggs and emu eggs, both shades of bluish green. The emu egg is also one of the world's largest, weighing in at around 2 lbs.

4) Why are bird eggs different colors? Why do some have spots?
The color and markings on eggs help camouflage them to stay them hidden from predators. Sometimes the parent bird has to leave the eggs exposed in the nest, so it is important that the eggs blend into their surroundings. Birds that nest in holes in trees or places where they cannot be seen easily often lay white eggs, since they do not have to be camouflaged. Birds that nest on the ground usually lay eggs that are brown with brown or black markings so they look like the dirt and rocks in their habitats. However, scientists are still trying to come to a consensus on other reasons for egg coloring, such as why robins' eggs are blue.

I have read here, that $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ must not be applied on a photon ever.
If i want to calculate escape velocity $v_e$ i need to use $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ because we say that kinetic energy (positive) must be same or larger than gravitational potential (which is negative) in order for an object to escape. It is done like this:
$$ \begin{split} W_k + W_p &= 0\\ \frac{1}{2}mv_e^2 + \left(-\frac{GMm}{r}\right) &= 0\\ v_e &= \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}} \end{split} $$
Than we say if there is a black hole inside certain radius we call Schwarzschield radius $r=R_{sch}$ not even light can escape because its escape velocity is smaller than needed to escape. At the border of the sphere with $R_{sch}$ light can barely escape, so it must hold that $c$ equals escape velocity $v_e$. So we write down the equation below and derive $R_{sch}$.
$$ \begin{split} c &= \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_{sch}}}\\ R_{sch} &= \frac{2GM}{c^2} \end{split} $$
This is a well known equation, but it is derived allso using $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ for light (photons). This is in contradiction with 1st statement in this post. So is the last equation even valid???

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{p^2}{2m}$ isn't even generally correct for massive particles: in only applies where $v \ll c$. For high velocities it is mandatory to use the correct relativistic expression $\sqrt{m^2c^4 + p^2c^2} - mc^2$. Obviously $c \not\ll c$ so you get $\sqrt{0 + p^2c^2} - 0 = pc$. – dmckee Jan 18 '13 at 15:38
It's a random coincidence. In particular, your derivation doesn't change if the "black hole" is spinning, but in full general relativity, you'll have $R = \frac{G}{c^{2}}\left(M + \sqrt{M^{2} - \frac{J^{2}c^{2}}{G^{2}M^{2}}}\right)$, where $J$ is the angular momentum of the black hole. – Jerry Schirmer Jan 18 '13 at 16:23
Indeed it is coincidence. See also my answer to this question – Chris White Jan 18 '13 at 17:13
Our professor derived it like this. Furthermore he didnt even warn us the derivation is WRONG! But i am amazed! What a coincidence indeed :) – 71GA Jan 18 '13 at 19:21
_USER_ Congrats. I never managed to catch my professors on any errors more serious than flipped signs or the like. :) – Dan Neely Jan 18 '13 at 20:49

This is one of those cases when the ends do not justify the means... Just because you get a result that is true, from laws that aren't supposed hold in that situation, doesn't mean that the laws can be used there.
If you're asking about whether there is a deeper connection between using $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ and getting the radius, to the best of my knowledge, there is none: it just happens to be a coincidence that they match.
Like Michael Brown said, the Schwarzschild radius can only be derived from GR, in which the Schwarzschild metric \begin{align} ds^2 = - (1-2GM/r) dt^2 + (1-2GM/r)^{-1}dr^2 + r^2d\Omega^2 \end{align} is the unique maximally symmetric solution to Einstein's equations in vacuum. (I've set $c = 1$) here. Note that something interesting is happening when $r = 2GM$, and one can go on to show that $r = 2GM$ happens to be the boundary of the causal part of the future null infinity, which we identify as the event horizon.

Missing those factors of 2 perhaps? – Chris White Jan 18 '13 at 17:10
ahha yes. i'll edit my post, thanks – nervxxx Jan 18 '13 at 17:12
The short answer is: no, $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ is never valid for photons. A photon's energy is given by $$ E = h f = \hbar \omega = \frac{h c}{\lambda} $$ always. The derivation of the Schwarzschild radius you mention is an incorrect one that happens to give the right answer accidentally. The correct derivation requires general relativity.

Let us make an in-depth study of depository system. After reading this article you will learn about: 1. Features of Depository System 2. Advantages of Depository System.
Features of Depository System:
A depository system has the following features:
(a) Day-to-day basis of reconciliation is made by NSDL;
(b) Securities are divisible and, as such, can be transacted by any quantity;
(c) Securities are allotted International Security Identification Number (ISIN) by SEBI;
(d) The benefit of depository system is enjoyed by the investor/owner of securities; and
(e) CDSL and NSDL are the Depository Participants to act as agent.
Advantages of Depository System:
Enjoyed by Investors:
i. It eliminates bad deliveries;
ii. It computes the settlement cycle very fast;
iii. It makes immediate transfer and registration of securities;
iv. It eliminates all risks associated with physical certificate;
v. It also provides nomination facility to the investors;
vi. It reduces trading cost;
vii. Since it is paperless trading, no share certificate and deed etc. are required.
Enjoyed by the Capital Market:
(i) Dues are settled in a very short time;
(ii) It also eliminates bad delivering;
(iii) It also eliminates the problems arising from odd lots of securities;
(iv) It eliminates the physical handling of paperwork's;
(v) It reduces errors;
(vi) Questions of loss, mutilation of securities does not arise.
(vii) Huge number of transactions can be settled at a very short time.
Enjoyed by the Company:
(a) It reduces the risk of loss of securities and, at the same time, reduces the fraudulent activities;
(b) It avoids the checking of shares, deeds and various papers,
(e) No share certificate is issued as the securities are divisible;
(d) It reduces the various costs which require secretarial help;
(e) It supplies better communication facilities
(f) Easy availability of data and information (i.e. issue of bonus share, right share, dividend declaration, etc.) are available which helps the shareholder to take decisions.
Disadvantages of Depository System:
The Depository System is not free from snags. Some of them are:
(a) Number of frauds may be increased as there is no physical checking;
(b) Practically, to set up a single depository is not possible;
(c) MDS (Multiple Depository System) invites the problems of coordination.
Although the Depository System is not free from snags, even then it is a boom to the world of capital market. It, no doubt, proves an efficient transfer system and helps the investors and the company in various forms. It overcomes the problems from bad delivery, counterfeit certificates, etc. It also reduces various cost and expenses (i.e. Registration cost).

PPI Claims – Is It Better To Claim By Yourself Or Use A PPI Company?
This article aims to explore whether or not it is better to claim back ppi on your own, for free OR whether or not it is better to claim ppi through a ppi company.
Claiming back ppi through a claims company.
Claiming back through a company will cost you a fee for the services rendered, however this helps with the process three ways:
 1. The level of expertise carried by the claims handlers is useful in the environment that the banks themselves persist in rejecting claims that should be upheld
 2. It largely automates the process of making a claim, taking the pressure away from the customer so that they can focus on other matters
 3. It provides a method of organised application, that aids the PPI claims process as a whole, as many people in the general domain will have no idea how to proceed on a claim.
 4. The claims company will update you on progress throughout the process of the claim, and this is convenient as most of the clients have day to day work and more important matters to deal with other than the processing of a PPI complaint.
Claiming back PPI on your own
 1. It is free, no fees payable to a claims company
 2. The process may be hindered due to a lack of expertise in the field of PPI claims
 3. There is no point of contact to let you know the progress in relation to your claim, and thus you are required to keep chasing for an update on your complaint.
Whichever way you look at this matter, there is always going to be a "for" and "against" argument.
However it is an irrefutable fact that members of the general public are inexperienced in matters of claiming PPI, the banks are systematically making it easier to submit a claim, but they are also making the claims process slower by delaying the process by rejecting these complaints that are later upheld.
The primary disadvantage of claiming with a company is the fact that there is a fee payable on completion, but it could be argued that this fee is justified given the amount of work required to process these particular types of complaints.
Many people have claimed back PPI without the use of a company, however it often takes much longer to achieve payout due to two main factors:
 1. They often have less time to focus on the completion of this claim.
 2. They simply do not know what to do if a reasonable claim is rejected.
In conclusion there will always be merit and disadvantage to claiming with a company and claiming alone, what matters is you make an informed decision based on your needs and your personal circumstances.
It might be worth contacting a finance company to find out their policy and their process on the completion of these complaints to find out if that suits your particular needs.

Recipes in Bihar and Jharkhand
Bihari Litti To know about the history, geography, economical status and culture of the state of Bihar one can take a look at its cuisine. Food habits of Bihar shows how the cuisine of the state has evolved over centuries under the influence of various cultures and regimes which controlled it from time to time.
Lord Buddha attained enlightenment in Bihar and hence the impact of Buddhism is significant of the state.People are largely vegetarian though many are fond of chicken and meat dishes. Bihar has also been under the reign of mighty Moghuls and naturally the exotic Mughal cuisine affected the Bihar style of cooking and the taste of the inhabitants of the state. Remarkable factor of the Bihari cuisine is that the state has imbibed the best and most suitable aspects of the Gupta, Maurayan, Turk, Afghan, Persion and European style of cooking and at the same time retained a food culture that bears a distinct hallmark of Bihar.
Wheat and rice are the staple food of Bihar and Jharkhand (Jharkhand was till recently a part of Bihar and shares food habits with its parent state). Vegetables are grown in abundance and cooked in a variety. A regular Bihari meal consists of dal, bhat (rice), phulka (roti), tarkari (sabzi) and achar (pickles). But as the seasons change so does the Bihari thali. It is said that just as the seasons change four times in a year, so does the contents of the Bihari meals.
Striking feature of Bihari cuisine is their 'chhonkna' (tadka) with 'panchforan' (a mix of five seeds - saunf, sarson, methi, ajwain and mangraila). People here are very fond of doing 'bhoonjana' to food items, this implies light frying. Dishes are generally very spicy and colourful. Mainly mustard oil is used as a medium of cooking.
Dishes and drinks made from energy rich, sattu (powdered gram) are popular all over the country. Food habits differs in various regions of the state. Tribals which constitute a significant percentage of the state population have their own style of cooking food. Mahua flour, maize, millets and edible roots and tubers are are the chief ingredients of a typical tribal meal in Chhotanagpur area.

Verre eglomise is a technique which dated back to Roman time as early as 400AD and revived in Europe in varies different centuries. The French term was attributed by the french decorator Jean-Baptise Glomy who made it popular again in the 18th Century. Verre eglomise was introduced to China from the west in the Qing dynasty, it quickly took on as a home decorative object for the wealthy and riches. By the end of the Qing dynasty it has been adapted as a popular craft form in China, so much that they were also for exports back to Europe.

This is a pair of embroidery shoes of the Miao tribe (for more about Miao tribe shoes, see our earlier post, Embroidery Shoes). Today I would like to concentrate on the cloth sole of the shoes which is entirely handmade. Before rubber and leather sole became popular in China, most of the soles are made with cloth, it is a common household practice, even mother remembers making shoes for herself in her childhood. Here is mom's instruction:
 1. Save up old clothes and off cuts for a year, so materials are ready for making new shoes for Chinese new year
 2. Cook up some glue with water and rice flour (the Chinese version of wall paper paste)
 3. On a flat board, applied glue to the edge of the board, then stretch the a large piece of cotton cloth, apply a layer of glue over it. On the second layer place smaller pieces of cloth, avoid any overlapping or gaps, apply a layer. On the top place a large piece of cotton, avoid creases, applied glue over it. Let dry for a night
 4. Use a newspaper to trace out the sole of the old pair of shoe, enlarge to suit. Prepare an addition one for a size larger.
 5. Cut out from the dried cloth pile 6 pieces from the larger template (large filler – LF), 7 from the smaller (small filler – SF) one and 2 smaller pieces for the heel (H). Put the pieces of the same size together, clamp them and give it a good trim so that they are the same size and shape. Reverse the template and cut out the soles for the other shoe.
 6. Take a piece from the large filler and mount a piece of cotton, wrapped the edges over to the top. This will become the bottom layer of the sole (BS), the piece that touches on the ground. Take the other 6 larger fillers and stick on a cotton piping around it.
 7. Then places the fillers in the order; BS-LF-SF-LF-H-SF-LF-SF-LF-SF-LF-H-SF-LF-SF-SF-SF. Stitch temporarily to hold them together, clamp it well and sew the edge with hemp string (you will need an awl for this). Then make uniform and small stitiches (as seen in the photo) throughout the whole of the sole.
 8. The completed sole is then brushed with warm water and covered with a blanket overnight.
 9. The next morning, the sole is compressed with a mallet and air dried.
 10. Now the sole is complete, all you need to do is the upper shoes and of course the embroidery …

There is something non-Chinese about this plate, I thought. Looking up exports chinaware, it is no where to be found. Perhaps its the shape of the plate, I thought. Then I was surprised to find out, thought not a common form, the shape has been around since the Sung dynasty. Chinaware, blue and white, a common Chinese theme of flower and bird, a form that goes back 1000 years it seems that there should be nothing none Chinese about it. On further research, it seems that the form of certain pottery and metal ware were heavily influenced by the import of Persian silverware in the Tang dynasty, the polylobed shape is one of them.

Simple solutions satisfying grid and cloud computational needs
With the maturation of Grid computing facilities and recent explosion of cloud computing data centers, mid-scale computational science has more options than ever before to satisfy computational needs. But heterogeneity brings complexity.
We propose a simple abstraction for interaction with heterogeneous resource managers spanning grid and cloud computing, and on features that make the tool useful for the mid-scale physical or natural scientist. Key strengths of the abstraction are:
- its support for multiple standard job specification languages
- preservation of direct user interaction with the service
- removing the delay that can come through layers of services
- the predictable behavior under heavy loads
