2. Average of multiple distance measured.
3. Horizontal distance.
4. Distance between any two points.
5. Elevation of objects and
6. All the three coordinates of the observed
7. • Data collected and processed in a Total Station
can be downloaded to computers for further
- Total station is a compact instrument and
weighs 50 to 55 N.
- A person can easily carry it to the field.
- Total stations with different accuracy, in angle
measurement and different range of
measurements are available in the market.
- One such instrument manufactured by
SOKKIA Co. Ltd. Tokyo, Japan.
9. Important Operations of Total
- Distance Measurement
- Angle Measurements
- Data Processing
- Electronic Book
10. Distance Measurement
- Electronic distance measuring (EDM)
instrument is a major part of total station.
- Its range varies from 2.8 km to 4.2 km.
- The accuracy of measurement varies from 5
mm to 10 mm per km measurement.
- They are used with automatic target
- The distance measured is always sloping
distance from instrument to the object.
11. Angle Measurements
- The electronic theodolite part of total station is
used for measuring vertical and horizontal
- For measurement of horizontal angles any
convenient direction may be taken as reference
- For vertical angle measurement vertical upward
(zenith) direction is taken as reference direction.
- The accuracy of angle measurement varies from
2 to 6 seconds.
13. Data Processing
- This instrument is provided with an inbuilt
microprocessor. The microprocessor averages
multiple observations. With the help of slope
distance and vertical and horizontal angles
measured, when height of axis of instrument and
targets are supplied, the microprocessor computes
the horizontal distance and X, Y, Z coordinates.
- The processor is capable of applying temperature
and pressure corrections to the measurements, if
atmospheric temperature and pressures are
- Electronic display unit is capable of displaying
various values when respective keys are
- The system is capable of displaying horizontal
distance, vertical distance, horizontal and
vertical angles, difference in elevations of two
observed points and all the three coordinates of
the observed points.
15. Electronic Book
- Each point data can be stored in an electronic
note book (like compact disc).
- The capacity of electronic note book varies
from 2000 points to 4000 points data.
- Surveyor can unload the data stored in note
book to computer and reuse the note book.
16. Uses of Total Station
- The total station instrument is mounted on a
tripod and is levelled by operating levelling
screws. Within a small range instrument is
capable of adjusting itself to the level position.
Then vertical and horizontal reference
directions are indexed using onboard keys.
17. • It is possible to set required units for distance,
temperature and pressure (FPS or SI).
Surveyor can select measurement mode like
fine, coarse, single or repeated.
18. • When target is sighted, horizontal and vertical
angles as well as sloping distances are
measured and by pressing appropriate keys
they are recorded along with point number.
Heights of instrument and targets can be keyed
in after measuring them with tapes. Then
processor computes various information about
the point and displays on screen.
19. • This information is also stored in the electronic
notebook. At the end of the day or whenever
electronic note book is full, the information
stored is downloaded to computers.
20. • The point data downloaded to the computer
can be used for further processing.
- There are software like auto civil and auto
plotter clubbed with Auto Cad which can be
used for plotting contours at any specified
interval and for plotting cross-section along
any specified line.
21. Advantages of Using Total Stations
- The following are some of the major
advantages of using total station over the
conventional surveying instruments:
- Field work is carried out very fast.
- Accuracy of measurement is high.
- Manual errors involved in reading and
recording are eliminated.
22. • Calculation of coordinates is very fast and
accurate. Even corrections for temperature and
pressure are automatically made.
- Computers can be employed for map making
and plotting contour and cross-sections.
Contour intervals and scales can be changed in
23. • However, surveyor should check the working
condition of the instruments before using. For
this standard points may be located near
survey office and before taking out instrument
for field work, its working is checked by
observing those standard points from the
specified instrument station.
- Total stations are mainly used by land
surveyors and civil engineers, either to record
features as in topographic surveying or to set
out features (such as roads, houses or
- They are also used by archaeologists to record
excavations and by police, crime scene
investigators, private accident reconstruction
and insurance companies to take
measurements of scenes.
- Total stations are the primary survey
instrument used in mining surveying.
- A total station is used to record the absolute
location of the tunnel walls, ceilings (backs),
and floors as the drifts of an underground mine
- The recorded data are then downloaded into
a CAD program, and compared to the designed
layout of the tunnel.
26. • The survey party installs control stations at
regular intervals. These are small steel plugs
installed in pairs in holes drilled into walls or
the back. For wall stations, two plugs are
installed in opposite walls, forming a line
perpendicular to the drift. For back stations,
two plugs are installed in the back, forming a
line parallel to the drift.
27. Mechanical and electrical construction
- Total stations have become the highest
standard for most forms of construction layout.
- They are most often used in the X and Y axis
to lay out the locations of penetrations out of
the underground utilities into the foundation,
between floors of a structure, as well as
28. • Because more commercial and industrial
construction jobs have become centered
around building information modeling (BIM),
the coordinates for almost every pipe, conduit,
duct and hanger support are available with
- The application of communicating a virtual
model to a tangible construction potentially
eliminates labor costs related to moving poorly
measured systems, as well as time spent laying
out these systems in the midst of a full blown
construction job in progress.
- Meteorologists also use total stations to
track weather balloons for determining upper-
- With the average ascent rate of the weather
balloon known or assumed, the change in
azimuth and elevation readings provided by
the total station as it tracks the weather balloon
over time are used to compute the wind speed
and direction at different altitudes.
30. • Additionally, the total station is used to track
ceiling balloons to determine the height of
- Such upper-level wind data is often used for
aviation weather forecasting and rocket


Definitions for gas bladder
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word gas bladder
 1. gas bladder(Noun)
 An internal organ that fish use to control their buoyancy, allowing them to maintain or change depth by changing their density.
 1. Swim bladder
 The swim bladder, gas bladder, fish maw or air bladder is an internal gas-filled organ that contributes to the ability of a fish to control its buoyancy, and thus to stay at its current water depth without having to waste energy in swimming. Also, the dorsal position of the swim bladder means the center of mass is below the center of volume, allowing it to act as a stabilizing agent. Additionally, the swim bladder functions as a resonating chamber, to produce or receive sound. The swim bladder is evolutionarily homologous to the lungs. Charles Darwin remarked upon this in On the Origin of Species. Swim bladders are found in many bony fish, but are not found in cartilaginous fish. In the embryonic stages some species, such as redlip blenny, have lost the swim bladder again, mostly bottom dwellers like the weather fish. Other fish like the Opah and the Pomfret use their pectoral fins to swim and balance the weight of the head to keep a horizontal position. The normally bottom dwelling sea robin can use their pectoral fins to produce lift while swimming. The cartilaginous fish do not have swim bladders.

Data Docs compiles raw Great Expectations objects including Expectations and Validations into structured documents such as HTML documentation that display key characteristics of a dataset. Together, Data Docs, Profiling, and Validation are the three core services offered by GE.
Data Docs is implemented in the
HTML documentation takes expectation suites and validation results and produces clear, functional, and self-healing documentation of expected and observed data characteristics. Together with profiling, it can help to rapidly create a clearer picture of your data, and keep your entire team on the same page as data evolves.
For example, the default BasicDatasetProfiler in GE will produce validation_results which compile to a page for each table or DataFrame including an overview section:
And then detailed statistics for each column:
The GE DataContext uses a configurable "data documentation site" to define which artifacts to compile and how to render them as documentation. Multiple sites can be configured inside a project, each suitable for a particular data documentation use case.
For example, we have identified three common use cases for using documentation in a data project. They are to:
Visualize all Great Expectations artifacts in the local repo of a project as HTML: expectation suites, validation results and profiling results.
Maintain a "shared source of truth" for a team working on a data project. This documentation renders all the artifacts committed in the source control system (expectation suites and profiling results) and a continuously updating data quality report, built from a chronological list of validations by run id.
Share a spec of a dataset with a client or a partner. This is similar to API documentation in software development. This documentation would include profiling results of the dataset to give the reader a quick way to grasp what the data looks like, and one or more expectation suites that encode what is expected from the data to be considered valid.
To support these (and possibly other) use cases GE has a concept of "data documentation site". Multiple sites can be configured inside a project, each suitable for a particular data documentation use case.
Here is an example of a site:
The behavior of a site is controlled by configuration in the DataContext's great_expectations.yml file.
Users can specify
which datasources to document (by default, all)
whether to include expectations, validations and profiling results sections
where the expectations and validations should be read from (filesystem, S3, or GCS)
where the HTML files should be written (filesystem, S3, or GCS)
which renderer and view class should be used to render each section

Vegetable sponges: how to grow them to say goodbye to plastic
Vegetable sponges: how to grow them to say goodbye to plastic
Vegetable sponges are also known as Luffas, they are the fruits of a plant of the cucurbitaceae family, related to pumpkin and cucumber and it is very easy to grow at home.
Luffa is a fruit that has many fibers inside and can perfectly replace the use of traditional sponges that are made of plastic. Vegetable sponges are natural and 100% biodegradable, unlike commonly used sponges, which makes them less polluting.
How is it grown?
This plant has more male than female flowers, so it is advisable to place more than 5-6 plants to have a reasonable production. Pollination is essentially carried out by bees and it is convenient to install 1 to 2 hives per hectare.
It can grow as a vine, climbing a wall or forming a pergola, incidentally, it will project a good shade.
Luffa adapts to many types of soil, but it thrives best in soils with a loamy or sandy texture, deep or well drained with organic matter, in addition to maintaining a pH of 5.5 to 7.5 preferably.
The plant grows best in areas with tropical and subtropical climates. They regularly flower on short days, but there are also long-day cultivars.
How is it used?
The main use of this vegetable is the production of natural sponges, but if it is harvested early, it can be eaten like zuchinis. The sponge is also used to make bath, beach and cleaning products, such as massage gloves, mops, hats and shoes. In addition, its flowers are delicious in salads or fried as well as pumpkin.
You can use it for the shower (it is a very good exfoliator), to wash dishes, wash the bathroom, etc.
Luffa also has medicinal properties as a laxative, topical, and diuretic.

When we looked at how native code and ActionScript communicate in a native extension, we saw that native code is mostly called and talked to and has a limited number of ways to respond or send data back. These are:
- Returning a FREResult object from a call to FREFunction.
- Using output parameters in a FREFunction.
- Sending an event to ActionScript.
In this article we are focusing on number 3: how events are sent from Java to ActionScript.
Events from Java to ActionScript are asynchronous
We already saw why in the post about events from C to ActionScript, but I'll repeat it here, as it's important:
- there isn't a synchronous way for native code to call an ActionScript function via the AIR Java API the way that ActionScript makes direct calls to native code. When information needs to be sent to ActionScript outside a call that ActionScript initiated, your option is to send an event that ActionScript will receive asynchronously.
- you can send an event to ActionScript form any thread in your native code and it's delivered on AIR's single main thread. This is the only AIR Java API call you are allowed to make outside the main thread.
In Java dispatchStatusEventAsync() is a method of the FREContext class, which represents your Extension Context.
public void dispatchStatusEventAsync( String code, String level )
- code is a string, which you set. Use it to identify the event you are sending, for example "SPEECH_RECOGNITION_EVENT".
- level is another string that you set. Use this to send more detailed information about the event to ActionScript, for example "Speech recognition results" or "No results found".
How this is received by ActionScript
On the ActionScript side the target of the event is the instance of flash.externalExtensionContext, which was passed to FREDispatchStatusEventAsync. Wondering where it comes from? Read the next section.
The event's type is flash.events.StatusEvent. You'll notice that, among other things, StatusEvent has the following two properties:
- code : String
- level : String
See how this maps to the information sent from the Java side?
A call to dispatchStatusEventAsynch() from your Java code:
"This is the message CODE",
"This is the message LEVEL" );
will be received in your ActionScript code in the form of a StatusEvent in a StatusEvent.STATUS handler that you provide:
private var m_extensionContext : flash.external.ExtensionContext;
m_extensionContext.addEventListener( StatusEvent.STATUS, onStatusEvent );
private function onStatusEvent( _event : StatusEvent ) : void
trace( _event.code );
trace( _event.level );
This will print out:
This is the message CODE
This is the message LEVEL
Here's a definition of Extension Context, if you need a reminder.
Have a look at how events are sent from C to ActionScript.
Next we'll see what are the Extension Context Initializer and Finalizer.
Then we will see the order of calls for all these initializers and finalizers.
Over to you
Why do you code in Java? No, seriously.


Toss those cabers, toss them high
The caber toss is a traditional Scottish sport that involves hurling a caber, which is essentially a large piece of a tree: a caber is a 6 m6~\mbox{m} long, 80 kg80~\mbox{kg} tree trunk. Large strong people hurl these and the goal is to get the caber to land as far away as possible and rotate in the air, so what was the highest part of the trunk initially is actually the part that hits the gound first. See this clip to understand how the caber rotates.
It's HARD to do this. To see how hard, consider a perfectly vertical caber with one end on the ground. You then launch the caber vertically with some speed v0v_0 and give it a rotation. What is the minimum kinetic energy in Joules you need to give the caber so that when it lands the caber is perfectly vertical again, but the OTHER end of the caber hits the ground?
Details and assumptions
 - The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2-9.8~\mbox{m/s}^2.
 - The caber can be modeled as a uniform rod.

text: Among different brain–computer interfaces (BCIs), the steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP)-based BCI has been widely used because of its higher signal to noise ratio (SNR) and greater information transfer rate (ITR). In this paper, a method based on multiple signal classification (MUSIC) was proposed for multidimensional SSVEP signal processing. Both fundamental and second harmonics of SSVEPs were employed for the final target recognition. The experimental results proved it has the advantage of reducing recognition time. Also, the relation between the duty-cycle of the stimulus signals and the amplitude of the second harmonics of SSVEPs was discussed via experiments. In order to verify the feasibility of proposed methods, a two-layer spelling system was designed. Different subjects including those who have never used BCIs before used the system fluently in an unshielded environment.

Project: Historical Bremen, The History of Bremen as a Computer Model
The "Historical Bremen" project is a series of computer models that represent a replica of the city of Bremen at different time periods. With this project, ANYMOTION has expanded its field of expertise to include historical reconstructions. These computer-generated models project detailed images of history into the present. With the support of experts (including Mr. Günther Garbrecht), AnyMotion collected historical facts and turned them into computer models, which in turn serve as the basis for graphics, videos and multimedia products.
The "Historical Bremen" project was launched at the end of 2001 and has since been further developed through continuous supplementary work.
Pictures and videos from the project have already been used in several projects.
AnyMotion has created a modern website for the project, in which you can explore the old Bremen in several centuries in virtual 360 ° panoramic tours. Learn more at:
Overview of AnyMotion services:
- Projekt „Time Guide / City Guide"
In the course of expanding UMTS applications, a program was developed for the PDA by the Bremen agency i2dm. On a given route the user is guided on a historical route through the city. He has the possibility to view the build state of 300 or 500 years ago.
- Project "The History of Bremen, The Film"
Elaborate renderings and spectacular camera rides illustrate to the viewer the history of Bremen. The constructional development of Bremen is being followed over 5 centuries.
- Projekt „Hansestadt"
The subject of e-learning is also becoming more and more interesting for the mediation of historical knowledge. Hansestadt is a classic computer game in which the player has to perform several tasks. During this time, he becomes acquainted with numerous important events. The game is set in the 16th century in the time of Johann Dove.

A new concept enhances the capability of photo-thermal absorption measurements with transversal probe beam guiding by overcoming drawbacks such as a lack of sensitivity for materials with low photo-thermal response and/or round substrate geometry. The sandwich concept using the laser-induced deflection technique is introduced and tested for the investigation of highly reflecting (HR) coatings. The idea behind the sandwich concept is based on the decoupling of the optical materials for the pump and probe beams. This is realized by either placing a HR coated rectangular substrate in between two optical (sandwich) plates or attaching a HR coated thin round substrate onto one optical plate. For both configurations, the sandwich concept results in a strong increase in sensitivity for the measurement of HR coatings deposited onto photo-thermally insensitive substrates. Experiments reveal that for a substrate, up to two orders of magnitude enhancement in sensitivity can be achieved.

New Curriculum Educates Youth on Value-added Agriculture Opportunities for Rural Development
AMES, Iowa — The Agricultural Marketing Resource Center (AgMRC) offers a new, free curriculum to educate youth on opportunities for rural development through value-added agriculture. The curriculum, located on the AgMRC website, _URL_, provides instructors with full lesson plans on agritourism, aquaculture, livestock, biomass and renewable energy. Information for the curriculum is drawn directly from the website.
AgMRC, located at Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, is an electronic, national resource for producers interested in value-added agriculture. Users of the website can browse commodities and products, investigate market and industry trends, study business creation and operation, read research results and locate value-added resources.
"Our goal is to continue to promote and advance opportunities within value-added agriculture," said Ray Hansen, director of AgMRC. "Educating the future of agriculture on value-added opportunities is crucial to the continued economic development we see happening in rural America."
Vocational agriculture instructors can utilize lesson plans to engage students in a natural versus organic debate, the creation of posters, interviews of value-added businesses within their community and a case study analysis of their own value-added ag enterprise.
Additional curriculum materials will be added throughout the fall of 2012. The full curriculum is available at _URL_

Chronic abdominal pain (caP) refers to pain that has been present continuously – or occurring at least on a weekly basis when intermittent – for a minimum period of 2 months. it is a description not a diagnosis, and can be due to a functional disorder or organic disease. a functional disorder is one in which symptoms of disease occur in the absence of objective evidence for an organic process. in the majority of cases, caP in childhood is due to a functional disorder. a detailed history should elicit the characteristics of the pain, precipitating and relieving factors, appetite, dietary intake, and stool history. in the well child with a normal examination and history typical of functional caP, investigation is usually unnecessary. However, the duration and severity of pain, its impact on daily life and the level of concern will temper this approach.

NA61/SHINE is a fixed target experiment operating at CERN SPS. Its main goals are to search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter and to study the onset of deconfinement. For these goals a scan of the two dimensional phase diagram (T−μB) is being performed at the SPS by measurements of hadron production in proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus interactions as a function of collision energy. In this paper the status of the search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter by the NA61/SHINE Collaboration is presented including recent results on proton intermittency, strongly intensive fluctuation observables of multiplicity and transverse momentum fluctuations. These measurements are expected to be sensitive to the correlation length and, therefore, have the ability to reveal the existence of the critical point via possible non-monotonic behavior. The new NA61/SHINE results are compared to the model predictions.

I really don't understand. PDFid is not a tool for sanitizing PDF files. Primaly, it's a mean for us to get a quick view at a particular PDF file to see if the file is malicious. So what are the advantages of Origami over PDFid?
Origami vs. PDFiD
PDFiD is primarily an analysis tool, but it may also be used to disarm PDF files by disabling JavaScript, embedded files, launch actions, etc with the "-d" option on the command line, or the disarm=True parameter. This is the same as using the pdfclean.rb script provided with Origami.
The advantage of Origami over PDFiD is that it is a full PDF parser which can decode all complex PDF structures (such as indirect objects hidden inside object streams), whereas PDFiD is only meant to quickly find well-known keywords in the structure without analyzing the content of objects.
Let's me try it out. Anyway, thank you so much for this exciting tool! :)

Which single factor do you think was most important in making the Spanish so successful during the contact period?
1 Answer | Add Yours
I would argue that the most important single factor helping the Spanish was the fact that they brought with them diseases to which the natives of the Americas had no immunity. This was not the only important factor, but I would argue that it was the most important.
The diseases that the Spanish brought over devastated the native populations. Since they could spread from native to native, they could travel from places where the Spanish actually were and kill people who had yet to set eyes on a Spaniard. This was tremendously beneficial to the Spaniards because it destabilized and severely weakened the societies that might have resisted them. For example, diseases that the Spanish brought killed large numbers of Incas, including their emperor. They had then engaged in a struggle over who would be the next emperor. Right after that struggle ended, the Spanish came to conquer the Incas. The fact that so many of them had died of disease and that they had then fought a civil war made it much easier for the Spaniards to win.

Tower Defense
aka: Tower Defence
Go To
Tower defense games are a sub-genre of strategy games where you defend a building from monsters and/or other enemies using other buildings, sometimes with a unit or two to back you up. Similar to Multi-Mook Melee, Tower Defense games have you facing wave upon wave of "creeps"note until a given number reach their goal, or you survive the final wave.
Creeps will move along the path that is either:
 - Static: Creeps move along the same paths.
 - Dynamic: The placement of towers will determine the paths which creeps move along. Dynamic paths usually create a strategy called "mazing", allowing the player to make long, winding paths that force the enemy to take the longest possible route to their destination, all the while being blasted by the towers herding them.
A typical Tower Defense game will have:
 - Creeps that behave differently. Some are Fragile Speedsters or Mighty Glaciers, some are Asteroids Monsters, others can fly over towers and bypass most of your defenses, etc.
 - "Boss" creeps on certain waves.
 - A strategy that requires a balance of producing more towers and upgrading existing ones. More important in dynamic path type ones.
 - Balance between different towers. Ideally, none of the tower types should be completely useless.
 - Commonly, a "survival" mode in which each level retains the towers you built in the previous level and/or the enemies get tougher as the game progresses instead of simply increasing in number.
 - Hold the Line as its core element.
As of lately, a trend in this genre has started to develop where the games will feature the ability for the player to be the attacking force pitted against the towers. This sub-genre within the Tower Defense genre has been called "Reverse Tower Defense", "Tower Attack", and "Tower Offense". Some games in the genre get to the point of devoting themselves entirely to this, eschewing the defense element altogether. It is also the basis of the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena, with Defense of the Ancients being basically born as a 5 vs 5 reverse tower defense using Warcraft 3's hero mechanics.
Another form of Tower Defense features a single tower or gate on one side of the screen, which is then beset by the Creeps marching forth to destroy it. The player is usually given one or more weapons directly controlled by them, while upgrades may add automatic defenses and defenders.
The third form of defense game is the "Tug-of-War"/Beam-O-War style. In which there are two towers or bases at each end of one or more paths, and the player(s) and AI send different units down the path to attack the enemy base(s). Opposing units that meet will fight each other, and the object is to push the enemy force back to their own side and destroy their base(s).
Examples of Tower Defense as a Full Game:
 - Castle Panic: A board game tower defense game. Can be played solo or co-op.
Examples of Tower Defense as a Mini-Game:
 - Some user-created maps for other Real-Time Strategy games follow this style.
 - Age of Empires II: Age Of Kings (and the expansion pack Conquerors) had a "Wonder Race" game type, in which you are required to build a wonder and defend it for 200 years before your opponent(s).
 - "Red's Mighty Feathers" from Angry Birds adapts the Angry Birds formula for the Tower Defense genre. The pigs are advancing upon the egg using their vehicles, and the Red Bird must protect the egg by popping the pigs with his new homing power.
 - Animal Jam has "Pest Control", in which the player uses biological pest controlnote to prevent the pestsnote from reaching the end of the static path.
 - Assassin's Creed: Revelations had Den Defenses, where Templar soldiers assault one of dens controlled by the Assassins. Ezio is responsible for organizing the defense by placing barricades in the streets and various types of Assassins on the rooftops firing down upon them.
 - Blizzard Entertainment:
 - The Trope Maker was the various user-made defense maps in StarCraft - "Sunken D," "Turret D," "Stacked Photon D," etc. The Starcraft editor did not allow you to create new units or buildings, so they usually made much more use of mobile units than most current Tower Defenses. See, for example, this video of "Weed D," which is recognizably a fixed-path Tower Defense game except that the "towers" being "built" are Mutalisks.
 - The Trope Codifier was Tower Defense maps for Warcraft III. The editor was much more sophisticated than Starcraft's, allowing for greater variety in attack buildings. Multiple subgenres appeared and proliferated, such as the "Wintermaul" clones. By the time the Frozen Throne expansion came out, Blizzard included an official Tower Defense map as an Alliance campaign bonus level.
 - Civilization IV came with a "Civ Defense" mod, in which one starts with a certain number of cities, spends money (rather than the usual "hammers") to add to their fortifications and defenses, and then horde after horde of barbarians come at you.
 - Club Penguin had "System Defender", in which the player has to set up cannons to stop the Mecha-Mook from destroying the EPF Mainframe computer. Interestingly, while threats could be simulated by all players, there would be live threats that could be handled by members only.
 - The action-RPG CrossCode had 2 connected sidequests (+ a challenge quest for each) in the city of Basin Keep that were basically a tower defense minigame on top of the normal combat. The heroine Lea has to defend a point against waves of enemies with the help of turrets, which can be activated in neutral and elemental modes. Additionally, all the enemies have strong shields that only the turrets in the (otherwise weaker) neutral mode can break.
 - "Englos Defense", a bonus level in DROD: The Second Sky.
 - Final Fantasy VI and Final Fantasy VII are probably the Ur Examples:
 - Final Fantasy VI has an event similar to this halfway through the first part of the game; there's a difference in that you battle the mooks using the standard battle system, but otherwise the execution is the same.
 - The Fort Condor mini-game in Final Fantasy VII is essentially a tower defense game.
 - Version 1.3 of Genshin Impact has the "Theater Mechanicus" event, in which you can plant different kinds of "towers" to defeat waves of incoming enemies. The enemies won't attack you or the towers, but will keep walking towards the "exit" which you have to defend. You can attack the enemies, but they'll take no damage from your attacks, nor will your energy get charged; however, you can still exploit elemental effects and reactions to support your towers. This can also be played with another player. Completing a level unlocks materials you can use to upgrade the towers, as well as higher difficulties.
 - The Iron Grip series is part Tower Defense and part FPS.
 - A variation of this appears in Legion's Loyalty Mission in Mass Effect 2, where Mooks must march towards you in a fixed path while you have Legion hack a few turrets around the area to shoot at them. Alternatively, you can just cap them yourself.
 - Monster Hunter: Rise has Rampage quests where you take up arms in a stronghold where you can set up armaments like ballistas, cannons, and bombs; some of these installations are controlled by NPCs, while others are controlled by the player(s). Your goal is to fend off an onslaught of monsters who are trying to destroy a heavily fortified gate on the far end of the map. As you fulfill side objectives and defeat monsters, more types of "towers" become available.
 - Path of Exile's Blight expansion introduced missions where players had to defend a purifying device from monsters advancing over multiple lanes. While particularly powerful characters can clear them without assistance, usually you'd have to construct towers to damage, debuff and/or stall enemies. Blighted maps take it further, turning an entire location into a huge defense mission with over a dozen lanes and several unique bosses.
 - Phantasy Star Online 2 has two variants of this.
 - The first is Mining Base, Emergency Quests where players are tasked with protecting towers against increasingly powerful and aggressive waves of Darkers while collecting crystals to unlock new weapons and defensive measures.
 - The second is Buster Quests, introduced in Episode 5. The first half of these quests entail protecting towers from an onslaught of enemies, albeit with a wider array of weapons and defensive measures available from the start. The players are also tasked with raiding an enemy castle and destroying the boss therein.
 - Progressbar 95 has the Progress Defender minigame, in which the bar can only be moved on the x-axis and you have to protect it from red segments and Clippy that approach it. You need to place one of three buildings on three lanes with five spots each. They are Firewalls which stop Red Segments but are damaged by Clippy, Antiviruses that shoot at Clippy but have to be updated once in a while, and Generators that make 5% progress every couple of seconds. Each building costs 5% progress and you must reach 100% to win. It is intended to be slightly harder than the main game, so you get 1.25x for completing levels in

More About The Geometric Mean
First of all, the geometric mean is a type of a less commonly used measure of central tendency. In terms of its calculation, it is computed using the following formula
\[G = \left( x_1 \cdot x_2 \cdot \cdot \cdot x_n \right)^{1/n}\]
In general, for the sample \(\{x_1, x_2, …, x_n\}\), the arithmetic mean is larger than the geometric mean.

Does your WordPress site show a message similar to this?
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in wp-admin/includes/theme.php on line 81
If your answer is "yes", this tutorial is for you.
We've helped several of our students with similar issues so we decided to write a tutorial to hopefully help someone else out as well.
Before starting to read this guide, it's worth understanding what PHP errors are in WordPress.
Background Information About PHP Memory Limit
PHP Memory limit sets the maximum amount of memory in bytes that PHP allows to allocate to a script. This prevents poorly written scripts for eating up all available memory on a server.
In most cases, if you get a memory limit error it's due to a faulty plugin. If you're at 32 or 64 M limit, that should be more than enough.
If you set it to 128 M and still getting the error, then you for sure know it's due to a faulty plugin. So the key question is what plugin did you install prior to this?
Things to Try
- Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
- If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
If your line shows 32M try 128M:
memory_limit = 128M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB)
- If you don't have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an.htaccess file:
php_value memory_limit 128M
- Talk to your host.
- If you have just updated a plugin and you're seeing errors, try rolling back to a previous version.
Plugin for Keeping Track of Memory Usage
Use the TPC! Memory Usage plugin to track the memory usage in your WordPress.
TPC! Memory Usage allows WordPress administrators to view the current and peak memory usage of the application. This is extremely helpful when testing new plugins, or if there are a lot of modifications, plugins, or large language files. As of version 0.4, administrators now have the ability to view detailed system information about their web server, MySQL, PHP, and WordPress software. Chris Strosser"

National Taiwan Normal University
This study analyzed the interrelationships between family resources, learning attitudes, university admission channels, and learning performance. This study used first-year college students enrolled at the case university as the research sample. This research applied the generalized structural equation model and used family resources as its independent variable and learning attitude, university admission channels, and learning performance as dependent variables. Learning performance was separated into intellectual and service learning performance. The empirical results indicated that students with more family resources were less likely to exhibit high intellect and high service learning performance. In addition, students with more family resources were more likely to enter the university through recommendations and screening. Finally, students with superior learning attitudes were more likely to exhibit high intellect and high service learning performance.

Making an Informed Choice--Part 2
8/31/2011 8:58 AM
Part One listed factors to consider in order to make an informed decision about which building will provide you with the best long-term value and performance. This week we will look at steel strength and what it means as you evaluate your options.
Quality, thickness (gauge) and total amount of steel are a significant influence on the safety and longevity of a building. Some manufacturers will use a thin, 14 gauge steel for their trusses which allows excessive flexing and buckling under relatively low forces.
When comparing manufacturers, ask for the following information:
- Diameter of each of the chords in the truss
- Diameter of the webs in the truss
- Gauge of steel used in each
- Total weight of structural steel in the building
This data will allow you to accurately compare the facts affecting steel strength.
In the next post I will explain how snow shedding qualities affect the design and strength of a building.

The Royal Asiatic Society presents:
Royal Asiatic Society 'Britain Nepal 200' Lecture Series
Dr John Whelpton (CU Hong Kong) – Jang Bahadur in Europe
John Whelpton's talk looks at the 1850 visit to London and Paris by Jang Bahadur Rana, founder of the Rana family regime which ruled Nepal from 1846 to 1951. As the first Hindu head of government to cross the 'black water' and travel to Europe, Jang was a media sensation, while his first-hand observation of British power led him to side with the East India Company against the revolt of 1857 in northern India. the speaker will draw on material from his book Jang Bahadur in Europe: The First Nepalese Mission to the West, shortly to be published in a revised edition by Mandala in Kathmandu. This combines a translation and commentary on an account of the embassy written by one of Jang's travelling companions with extensive extracts from contemporary British and French press coverage, providing a detailed portrait of how two cultures appeared to one another.

Probation, Trial Service, and Layoff Trial Periods
Probation, trial service, and layoff trial periods are intended to give a supervisor and staff member an opportunity to assess whether a new employment relationship is a good match for all parties. The duration covered by each evaluation period varies according to the type of period and the affected employee's classification. An overview of each of these periods is available on the central HR Web site.
The supervisor's ability to end an unsuccessful hire is less restricted during the evaluation period than after the evaluation period has ended. A supervisor or employee who determines that there is not a good employment match during an evaluation period should contact the College of Engineering Human Resources Team as soon as possible during the covered period.
The decision to end an appointment during an evaluation period may require action by College and University Human Resources staff, and by the Dean, who is the Appointing Authority for the College of Engineering; Supervisors should contact the College of Engineering Human Resources Team prior to taking any employment action.
In general terms, ending an appointment during an evaluation period involves the following steps. Supervisors are recommended to contact the CoE Human Resources team to discuss their specific situation. This process can occur at any time, but must be completed prior to the end of the evaluation period.
- At the beginning of an evaluation period, the supervisor conducts formal and informal training sessions with the new employee and monitors the employee's performance. During this period, the supervisor should be prepared to give informal feedback to the employee as necessary, clarifying performance expectations and addressing any performance concerns.
- If the supervisor has continuing performance concerns, s/he should alert the College of Engineering Human Resources Administrator and prepare to meet with the employee to address these concerns.
- At this meeting (referred to here as an "informal counseling session"), the supervisor will present the employee with a memo outlining performance concerns and stating performance expectations. This meeting is intended to help the employee understand the supervisor's concerns, allow the employee and supervisor an opportunity to strategize ways to work collaboratively to better match employee performance to supervisor expectations, and to alert the employee that s/he may not successfully complete the evaluation period. Thus, the informal counseling session and memo should include these features:
- The informal counseling session should:
- allow time for both parties to communicate their perspectives, and
- include time for discussing resources (e.g., increased communication, classes, informal training) and other strategies to better match the employee's performance to the supervisor's expectations
- The memo should:
- cite specific examples (including dates, descriptions of errors, behaviors or other problems),
- cite specific performance expectations related to the above examples, and
- include a statement such as, "It is my desire to work with you to help you be successful in your job; however, if concerns regarding your performance continue, you may not successfully complete your evaluation period."

The reason for using a hood is to block light rays from elements outside of the actual frame (stray light) to enter into the lens and degrade the image quality (lowering contrast). Effectively, it "shades" the lens from these rays. Since a sensor is rectangular, valid light rays that fall on the corners arrive from angles larger than light rays that fall on the middle of the sensor's edge. This is why many hoods have the "petal" form. Otherwise you will suffer from either vignetting at the frame corners, or lower effectiveness in blocking invalid rays.
With increasing focal length, the petal shape becomes less required and there is a transition to circular shape. Another reason for circular hoods is rotating front elements of the lens, where the hood is mounted. When focusing, the element (and hood) rotates so if you use petal hood it will lose its alignment with the sensor.


On tablets and convertible devices, Windows 10 can control their motion sensor to rotate the desktop to landscape or portrait mode automatically depending on the orientation of the screen.
However, sometimes auto-rotation in desktop or tablet mode may stop working for no apparent reason, or the "Rotation lock" option may appear grayed out making it impossible for Windows 10 to turn the screen to the correct orientation automatically.
If auto-rotation isn't working after covering your troubleshooting basics, such as checking for updates and restarting your device, there are a number of steps you can follow to fix this issue.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through five solutions you can try to get screen rotation working again on your tablet or convertible.
How to fix screen auto-rotation problems on Windows 10
Disconnecting peripherals
If you're using a 2-in-1 device like the Surface Pro, accessories, such as a detachable keyboard or dock can cause screen rotation problems.
To check if an accessory is causing rotation problems, do the following:
 1. Disconnect the keyboard, dock, or external display.
 2. Change the orientation of the device to see if it rotates automatically.
Checking screen rotation settings
It's also likely that you might have accidentally turned on the rotation lock option that prevents your device from rotating. If this is the case, do the following:
 1. Use the Windows key + A keyboard shortcut to open Action Center.
 2. Click the Expand button.
 3. Click the Rotation lock to turn it off.
 - Quick Tip: You can also control this option under Scale and layout on Settings > System > Display.
 4. Change the orientation of the device to see if it rotates automatically.
In certain devices, such as the Microsoft Surface Pro, Windows 10 will lock screen rotation and disable the "Rotation lock" option when a keyboard is attached and in a typing position. However, folding the keyboard or closing the device will release the lock and the screen will once again rotate automatically.
Running troubleshooter
If the screen will still not rotate, you can use the Sensors Troubleshooter to fix the problem.
 1. Download the Sensor Troubleshooter from Microsoft.
 2. Double-click the SensorDiagnosticTablet.diagcab to launch the experience.
 3. Click the Next button.
 4. The utility will scan, detect, and fix common problems with the sensors on your computer, including the motion sensor.
 5. Click the Close button.
After completing the steps, try to change the orientation of the device to see if auto-rotation works.
Updating motion sensor driver
Although it's rare, the rotation problem could be caused by a driver issue. If this is the case, you should try updating the sensors driver.
You can check this guide to learn the steps on how to update a device driver. If you're using Device Manager, typically, this device will appear under "Sensor I/O devices" or "Sensors."
Fixing screen auto-rotation grayed out
If you have tried all the solutions, and you continue to see the rotation lock option grayed out, even after disconnecting the keyboard, dock, or disabling the external display, then do the following:
 3. Browse the following path:
 - Quick Tip: On the Windows 10 Creators Update and later, you can now copy and paste the path into the new Registry's address bar to quickly jump to the key destination.
 4. Double-click the Enable DWORD and make sure the value is set to 1.
 5. Click OK.
 6. Double-click the LastOrientation DWORD and make sure the value is set to 0.
 7. Click OK.
 8. Double-click the SensorPresent DWORD and make sure the value is set to 1.
 9. Click OK.
 10. Double-click the SlateEnable DWORD and make sure the value is set to 1.
 11. Click OK.
Once you've completed the steps, restart your device to see if auto-rotation works again.
If any of these DWORDs are missing from the AutoRotation key, you'll have to create them manually:
 1. While in the Registry, right-click the AutoRation key, select New, and click on DWORD (32-bit) Value.
 2. Enter the name of the key that is missing and press Enter.
 3. Double-click the newly DWORD key and make sure its value is set as described on steps No. 4, 6, 8, and 10 in the above instructions depending on the key you're creating.
After completing the steps, restart your device and try to change the screen orientation to see if it works.
In the case, you're still having issues, you can ask in the Windows Central forums for additional help.

text: The American Board of Family Practice (ABFP) In-training Examination (ITE) is the most frequently used method of evaluation among accredited family practice programs. Despite its common use, there are still misunderstandings regarding the proper interpretation of the ABFP ITE results. The ABFP ITE is a norm-referenced test that allows for comparison of a resident's performance relative to other residents in the same year of training; it does not measure absolute performance. There is a paucity of evidence supporting the validity of the ABFP ITE. The eight specialty areas and clinical set problems lack sufficient reliability to be interpreted per individual resident. The composite score of the ABFP ITE has sufficient reliability to be used as part of a formal and comprehensive evaluation system. Group comparisons using the 10 ABFP ITE measures are appropriate.

Freshcaller allows you to transfer calls to another agent, team, or contact available within your account. Additionally, you can transfer calls to an external number
Call transfers are useful when you think that another team member has better expertise to resolve a customer's query, or sometimes, customers may want to talk to a specific agent. This helps deliver faster resolutions to the customer without making them go around in circles or hold the line for too long.
User Requirements
Agents, supervisors, admins, and account admins can transfer calls.
Types of Call Transfers
You can initiate two types of call transfers:
 - Warm Transfer
 A warm transfer allows you to have a brief conversation with another agent or a contact in your team before transferring the call to the customer. You can provide all the necessary details about the customer's query to another agent so that the customer does not have to repeat their question.
 - Cold Transfer
 Unlike a warm transfer, this option directly transfers the call to the second agent you selected. The second agent can choose to accept or reject the call.
When you initiate a warm or cold transfer, the customer will be put on hold until the other agent accepts the call.
To initiate a warm/cold transfer:
 1. During a live call, click on the phone icon to see the active (online) agents or contacts. You can use the search bar at the top to search for the names.
 When you enter a letter or a number, the search results display all the agents, teams, or contact names having the letter or number you entered. To see the team's active agents, click on the arrow next to the team/group name. The number next to the team name indicates the number of active/online agents in that team.
 Note: The contact names you see are the names you added/imported to your account.
 2. Warm Transfer
 To initiate a warm transfer, select the agent, team/group, or a contact name and click on the forward icon.
 Note that you can initiate a warm transfer only to individual agents within a team/group. For this reason, the warm transfer icon will not be visible next to the team name.
 3. Cold Transfer
 To initiate a cold transfer, select the agent, team/group, or a contact name and click on the phone icon.
 You can also select an entire team to initiate a cold transfer. In this case, all online agents in that particular team will receive the call, and anyone can choose to answer the call.
 For example, if you want to transfer the call to any agent in the US team, select the US team and click on the cold transfer icon.
 4. Once you initiate a warm or cold transfer, you will see the following screen.
 5. After the other agent answers the call, the customer on hold will be connected to the second agent, who is now the primary agent.
 If you initiate a warm transfer, you can disconnect the call after giving the necessary details. However, you will be disconnected immediately once the second agent answers the call in case of a cold transfer.
 The second agent will see the following notification when a call is transferred from the first agent.
 Dialpad in Warm Transfer:
 When you initiate a warm transfer, you can also use the dialpad to transfer the call to agent 2. The dialpad can be useful if the agent 2 has an IVR set up and wants to use the dialpad to enter the IVR option.
 Transferring Calls to External Number:
 To place a warn or cold transfer to an external number, enter the phone number in the search box, and choose between cold or warm transfer.
Tip: Transferring Calls with Call Notes
It is always recomended to add call notes before you transfer the call to another agent. The call notes help the other agent in understanding the customer's query better. Also, it eliminates the need for the customer to repeat the entire problem again.
 1. When you transfer calls, call notes are automatically transferred from Agent 1 to Agent 2.
 2. If Agent 2 is not available, Agent 1 will be able to resume the call.
Call recordings during Warm Transfers:
 1. If the Freshcaller number has " Record all calls," "Record incoming calls," or "Record outgoing calls" options enabled, then the conversation between Agent 1 and the customer is saved as recording 1. The conversation between Agent 2 and the customer is saved as recording 2. Recording 2 starts when Agent 2 resumes the call from agent 1.
 2. If the setting is "Record calls manually," and Agent 1 had not started recording, then the recording will start only when the Agent 2 manually activates the recording feature.
 3. The conversation between the agents when the customer is on hold is not recorded.
 4. If the customer disconnects the call while the two agents are in conversation, Agent 2 (once connected) will hear an information message that the customer has disconnected. The call will then be terminated.

You may know someone with a big heart, but you probably haven't seen one the size of the whale heart that is on display now in Beaufort.
The heart of a male sperm whale was put on display at the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort Thursday morning. After a nine-year, 2,300 mile journey, the heart and skeleton of a male sperm whale is ready for the public to see this Valentine's Day week. The whale is named "Echo" and his skeleton currently hangs in the museum.
"We should all think about our hearts more often in many ways. It's good to have this display and since I'm a marine biologist I think it's great to bring biology into it and educate people," said Victoria Thayer.
"It felt very rubbery. I wasn't grossed out by it or anything, but I think it's fascinating that they're able to preserve it like that so that you can actually visualize what the inside looks like." said visitor Nan Holton.
The heart was plastinated at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. Plastination is a process used to preserve body parts where the water and fat are replaced by plastics. Once plastinated, the body part can be touched and does not smell or decay.

Convert Circular thou to ha (Circular thou to Hectare)
Circular thou into Hectare
 numbers in scientific notation
Direct link to this calculator:
How many Hectare make 1 Circular thou?
1 Circular thou = 0.000 000 000 000 050 670 75 Hectare [ha] - Measurement calculator that can be used to convert Circular thou to Hectare, among others.
Convert Circular thou to Hectare (Circular thou to ha):
With this calculator, it is possible to enter the value to be converted together with the original measurement unit; for example, '844 Circular thou'. In so doing, either the full name of the unit or its abbreviation can be used. Then, the calculator determines the category of the measurement unit of measure that is to be converted, in this case 'Area'. After that, it converts the entered value into all of the appropriate units known to it. In the resulting list, you will be sure also to find the conversion you originally sought. Alternatively, the value to be converted can be entered as follows: '21 Circular thou to ha' or '37 Circular thou into ha' or '5 Circular thou -> Hectare' or '50 Circular thou = ha' or '62 Circular thou to Hectare' or '12 Circular thou into Hectare'. For this alternative, the calculator also figures out immediately into which unit the original value is specifically to be converted. Regardless which of these possibilities one uses, it saves one the cumbersome search for the appropriate listing in long selection lists with myriad categories and countless supported units. All of that is taken over for us by the calculator and it gets the job done in a fraction of a second.
Furthermore, the calculator makes it possible to use mathematical expressions. As a result, not only can numbers be reckoned with one another, such as, for example, '(94 * 4) Circular thou'. But different units of measurement can also be coupled with one another directly in the conversion. That could, for example, look like this: '844 Circular thou + 2532 Hectare' or '23mm x 71cm x 16dm =? cm^3'. The units of measure combined in this way naturally have to fit together and make sense in the combination in question.

Correcting Business Information Where a Nominee Was Used
中文 | 한국어 | TiếngViệt | Pусский
Many taxpayers have applied for Employer Identification Numbers (EINs) listing on the application an individual or entity other than the entity's true responsible party as the principal officer, general partner, grantor, owner, or trustor. The use of such an individual or entity, a "nominee", has resulted in IRS records containing incorrect information. Entities that used nominees on their applications should consider updating the information shown on the original application.
Who Should Update the Information?
Any entity that applied for an EIN listing a nominee as the "principal officer", etc., and listing the nominee's Taxpayer Identification Number as that of the principal officer, should send the IRS a letter providing the name and Taxpayer Identification Number (Social Security Number, Employer Identification Number, or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) of the true responsible party. Entities that submitted applications that showed, as the principal officer, an individual or entity who is no longer the true responsible party also should update the entity's information.
What the Terms "Nominee" and "Responsible Party" Mean
A "nominee" is someone who is given limited authority to act on behalf of an entity, usually for a limited period of time, and usually during the formation of the entity. The "principal officer, general partner," etc., as defined by the IRS, is the true "responsible party" for the entity, instead of a nominee. See the Responsible Parties and Nominees page for more details.
Why the Information should be corrected
In the event that the IRS has a need to contact an entity about a tax matter relating to the business, we must be certain we are contacting the correct party. Otherwise, information regarding an entity could be disclosed to someone who is not authorized to receive such information. The IRS is considering several ways to identify the responsible parties of entities. However, by updating the information itself, an entity can establish that it is a reliable partner of the IRS in complying with the Federal tax laws.
How to Update the Information
There is no form available to update the information, and the IRS asks entities updating their information NOT to submit a second EIN application. Instead, the IRS asks that the entity send a letter, on company letterhead, if available, providing the name and Taxpayer Identification Number of the current principal officer, general partner, grantor, owner, or trustor. Be sure to include the entity's complete name, EIN, and mailing address so we can correctly identify your IRS account. Depending upon the entity's principal business address, the entity should send the letter to the following IRS campus:
If the entity's principal business, office or agency is located in:
Send Letter to:
Internal Revenue Service
Stop 343G
Cincinnati, OH 45999
Internal Revenue Service
M/S 6273
Ogden, UT 84201
The IRS will send a letter confirming our receipt of the updated information. If the entity has not received the confirmation letter within 60 days, it should mail a copy of the original letter, annotated "Second Request", to the campus that services the entity's state.

Selway River Recession Analysis
Selway River Recession Analysis
This graph represents a recession analysis for the Selway River near Lowell.
The above analysis is based on 12 years of data between _PHONE_. Often the Selway River has multiple peaks, so this analysis is based on only when stream is receding. Increases in streamflow were ignored or if stream was not decreasing. If rain event or additional snowmelt generated a streamflow increase, the rising part of hydrograph was ignored, and only the recession flow was used to determine average recession rates.
Analysis is a guide to assist with recession flow determination, results vary and depend upon future streamflow peaks and past, current and future climatic conditions (additional rain and / or extreme hot or cool air temperatures).
To use: if today's mean daily flow is 15,000 cfs (Day 12) and launch date is 13 days out, flow may be just over 5,000 cfs (Day 25) on launch date. If a streamflow increase occurs between now and launch date, start over when stream starts receding.

OXFORD, Ohio (AP) -- New projections say Ohio will have 16 counties in 2050 where a third of the population will be at least age 60.
None of Ohio's 88 counties had such a high percentage of 60-or-older people in 2010, underscoring challenges ahead as the Baby Boomer generation becomes grayer and life spans increase. The forecasts based on data analysis and current trends are from Miami University's Scripps Gerontology Center.
Earlier projections showed six Ohio counties are expected to have a third of their 2020 populations as 60 or older.
Older populations are common in the economically struggling Appalachian region. One county, Noble, is projected to have half its population 60 or older by 2050.
Ohio officials say changes are needed to provide for senior needs and keep people in their homes longer.
