Gap Effect on Performance of Podded Propulsors in Straight-Ahead and Azimuthing Conditions
Abstract:This paper presents results of an experimental study on the effect of gap distance on propulsive characteristics of puller and pusher podded propulsors in straight-ahead and static azimuthing open-water conditions. The gap distance is the axial distance between the rotating (propeller) and stationary (pod) parts of a podded propulsor. The propeller thrust and torque, unit forces, and moments in the three-coordinate directions of a model podded unit were measured using a custom-designed pod dynamometer in various operating conditions. The model propulsor was tested at the gap distances of 0.3%, 1%, and 2% of propeller diameter for a range of advance coefficients combined with the range of static azimuthing angles from +20° to 20° with a 10° increment. The tests were conducted both in puller and pusher configurations in the same loading and azimuthing conditions. In the puller configuration, the gap distance did not have any noticeable effect on propeller torque in straight course condition, but had an effect in azimuthing conditions. The propeller thrust and efficiency were also influenced by the change of gap distance, and the effects were more pronounced at high azimuthing angles and high advance coefficients. For pusher configuration, however, the gap distance did not affect the propeller performance characteristics in straight-ahead and azimuthing conditions. Both in straight course and azimuthing conditions, the unit thrust and efficiency were not influenced by the gap distance in either puller or pusher configurations. The gap distance had a noticeable effect on unit transverse force and steering moment both in puller and pusher configurations, and both in straight course and azimuthing conditions. An uncertainty estimate of the measurements is provided at the end.

Basically that is the question - if we have a DVI file can we get on the base on it the original TeX file?

no, that is not possible. – Herbert Mar 4 '12 at 17:39
It is comparable to the task of decomposing a once baked cake into its ingredients. – Thorsten Donig Nov 11 '12 at 8:42

The simple answer is no. If you have a dvi and have lost the TeX there are tools such as dvi2tty which will extract the text and some of the paragraph structure, but in general you will have to add the markup back by hand.

Somewhat alike to disassembling a compiled executable: Yes, technically it can be done - but you will lose much of the information that was contained in the original TeX source.
For example, the DVI contains the text "see also chapter 11.2".
You might be able to turn this into text again, but the information that this was originally written as see also chapter \ref{sec:FooBar} is irrevocably lost.
Since this is the case, I don't think anyone has ever made the effort to write such a DVI-to-text converter, since the usability of such text would be severly limited.

No, technically it cannot be done. DVI, PDF and postscript contain text arranged on a page according to instructions in a (La)TeX document. You can extract the text, and you can try to guess at commands that would generate a similar page, and you might even guess well. But you'd be doing it by matching the result. If there is a number in the text, for example, you can never know for sure if it was typed literally or came from a TeX counter. Imagine eating a cake and trying to reconstruct the recipe: If you're good you can identify the ingredients and guess a lot about what was done, but the recipe itself is not in the cake.
Despite what some others said, it's not at all like disassembling: Executable code contains the algorithm, and disassembly just translates it to a human-readable language. Going from dvi to LaTeX is more like trying to reconstruct a C program from its output: Reverse engineering is a better term for it.

PS files would be tremendously difficult to convert back to TeX.
With DVI files I think it would at least be partially possible. Of course all high-level macros and stuff like that would be lost. Compare the task to recovering, e.g., C++ code from a compiled binary file.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the corneal morphology features and define mutations in the UbiA prenyltransferase domain–containing 1 (UBIAD1) gene in patients with Schnyder corneal dystrophy from a Polish population.
Methods: Five affected and 15 unaffected members originating from 3 families with Schnyder corneal dystrophy were included in the study. Phenotype analysis consisted of visual acuity, slit-lamp biomicroscopy with photography, time domain optical coherence tomography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, and confocal microscopy. Three patients underwent a penetrating keratoplasty. Corneal buttons obtained from the penetrating keratoplasty were processed for light microscopy.
Results: A novel mutation I245N of the UBIAD1 gene was revealed in 1 proband and associated with the phenotype without central corneal opacities. The analysis of the other patients showed the N102S mutation. In vivo corneal morphology analysis using optical coherence tomography and confocal microscopy confirmed the presence of multiple crystalline corneal deposits in all affected corneas. The histological examination revealed multiple empty widenings of the corneal lamellae that could represent lipids removed from the specimen.
Conclusions: N102S may also be a mutation hotspot in the Polish population, as in other previously reported populations. Corneal crystals formed a characteristic pattern on optical coherence tomography scans.

Scenario scripts were introduced in SpaceEngine 0.990. Older versions does not supports scripts.
This manual describes how to make scenario scripts in SpaceEngine. Before continuing, it is recommended to read this manual: Introduction
SpaceEngine console and *.se files
SpaceEngine 0.990 introduced a new type of file – *.se. These are scenario script files. They contains code which can be executed by SpaceEngine. A great example of what scenarios are capable of are Tutorials, introduced in 0.990. The default location for *.se files is data/scripts/ or addons/*/scripts/. You can run an *.se file from SpaceEngine by opening the console ([~] key by default) and typing this command:
If the file filename.se exists in the mentioned folders, it will be executed. Another way to run *.se files is by passing them into SpaceEngine's executable through a command line argument. The best way to do that is to associate the *.se extension with SpaceEngine.exe in your system. In that case double-clicking on the file will launch SpaceEngine and order it to execute the scenario script. If SpaceEngine is already running, this running instance will execute the script.
All commands could be executed in the 'direct mode' by typing them in the console, or executed from a *.se script file. Commands and most of their parameters are not case-sensitive, but string constants such as names of GUI widgets and names of triggers are case-sensitive.
Some commands can have (or even must have) additional parameters, provided in the curly braces block (i.e. those commands are actually tags). Example:
Additional parameters could be typed in a single row:
Using the single-row style sometimes makes the script code more compact and easy to read and understand.
All commands are split into groups according to their functions. Unroll the blocks below to read details.

Find me and follow me are two call forwarding services that are commonly used in conjunction with each other. Find me service allows the user to receive calls at any location; follow me service allows the user to be reached at any of several phone numbers.
Find me / follow me is often used in IP telephony. In some systems, the user is assigned a virtual phone number. When that number is dialed the system routes the call through a user-defined list of numbers. The numbers may be called simultaneously or sequentially, either in a preferred order or in accordance with the user's scheduled activities and locations. Once the list has been called and no connection made, the system may route the call to voice mail.

Word Origin & History
1593, from M.Fr. caisse "money box," from Prov. caissa, It. cassa, from L. capsa "box" (see case
(2)); originally the money box, but the secondary sense of the money in it became sole meaning 18c. Verb meaning "to convert to cash" (as a check, etc.) is first attested 1811.
Like most financial terms in Eng., ultimately from It. (cf. bankrupt, etc.). Not related to (but influencing the form of) the colonial British cash "Indian monetary system, Chinese coin, etc.," which is from Tamil kasu, Skt. karsha, Sinhalese kasi. Cash crop is attested from 1869; cash flow from 1954.

The Chief's Rule Book
How To Play Oware (Abapa)
Oware Abapa is considered the OFFICIAL standard for the purpose of international competition. It is for this reason that The Chief's Table only uses data from Oware Abapa games towards player analytics and international leader boards. Therefore you must learn how to play Oware Abapa if you want to earn a seat at the chief's table. Click here to learn more about the wider family of Mancala games.
How To Play Oware Abapa - Board Layout
The board is divided into two parts, your side and your opponents side. The row of six cups closest to you is considered your territory. The bigger cup closest to you, or to your right side is also yours and serves as your capture pit. The same applies for your opponent. Their territory is the six cups and the capture pit closet or to their right hand side.
How To Set Up Your Oware Board
 - Place the mancala board between you and your opponent with the long side facing you.
 - Place 4 seeds in each cup, excluding the capture pits. This should total 48 seeds.
* You can use any small item as a playing seed as long as a decent amount will fit in the cups such as pennies, marbles, or even stones.
Deciding Who Starts First
There are several ways to decide who will take the first turn. This is an important consideration because the first player technically has an advantage. When playing The Chief's Table the first player is decided by the "Guess Which Hand" challenge. Player have an equal chance to select who will hide the seed (players can select for either themselves or opponent to hide the seed) and the other player has to guess which hand its hidden in.
 1. A countdown will appear on screen and the first person to make a selection is the decision that will stand – The choices are you can either hide the seed or your opponent hides the seed.
 2. The player hiding the seed will have to choose a hand and their opponent must guess which hand the seed is hidden in. If the guessing player guesses correctly then they take the first turn, if they guess incorrectly, the player hiding the seed takes the first turn.
Players can use many different methods or rules to work out who plays first. A few suggestions include rock-paper-scissors, a coin flip, winner of last game starts, the choices are endless.
How To Play Oware Abapa - Taking A Turn
 1. Choose a cup from your own territory and pick up all the seeds in that cup.
 2. Begin to drop a single seed in each subsequent cup in a counter-clockwise direction around the board (including opponents cups). Continue this until you have no more seeds to drop. This is known as sowing.
 3. DO NOT include your capture pit in the sowing process.
 4. When sowing from a cup with 12+ seeds, the original cup should be excluded from that sowing cycle.
 5. How you proceed is dependent on where your last seed lands. Possible outcomes are capture or end of turn.
 6. Your turn ends once you have sown your last seed.
 7. There is no way to earn extra turns in Oware (Abapa).
How To Capture Seeds In Oware (Abapa)
You can only capture seeds when your last seed lands in YOUR OPPONENT'S TERRITORY and the criteria is met.
 - If the last seed you sow lands in your opponent's territory and results in that cup having 2 or 3 seeds (after yours is placed), you capture all the seeds in that cup.
 - It is possible to capture seeds from multiple cups in a single turn. This is called a chain. If your last seed sown meets the criteria, and the cup previous to it also meets the criteria, you also capture the seeds from that previous cup too. This method of capture can continue for as long as the criteria is met, if the chain is interrupted by a cup that has more than 3 or less than 2, your chain capture goes no further. Also you can not capture seeds from your own side.
How To Win
The winner is the player who captures at least 25 seeds because at this point the player has won over half the seeds in a complete set.
 - You are not allowed to intentionally starve your opponent, so if they have no seeds whilst its your turn to play, you MUST play in a way that will supply your opponents territory with at least one seed. This is a compulsory move when its possible. If it is not possible for you to supply your opponents territory in a single move, then you capture the remaining seeds within your territories and the game is over. Players must still count their seeds to establish who has won.
 - The winner is the person with the most seeds in their capture pit after counting.

Q: How to avoid problems with include files?
A: If you declare a class in your code the compiler normally needs to know some information about the used class like e.g. size. But if you just uses a pointer or a reference, the compiler doesn't need to know those information at that point since pointers or references are always the same size (4 bytes on a windows system). So you just need to tell the compiler that there will be a class - in this case called 'CSomeClass' - which will be used later by that declared pointer or reference. In this case you can use the so-called 'forward declaration'...
In this example you would need to provide the complete definition of'some_class' since 'foo' will create one instance of it. Therefore the compiler needs to know the exact size of the class and how it looks like...
In this case you only have a pointer to'some_class'. Since the size of a pointer is independent from the size of the object it is pointing to the compiler just needs to know that there is somewhere a class named'some_class' is defined...
Most of the time forward declarations are used to prevent circular includes. Consider this
In this case you will end up with circular includes. While compiling the 'one.hpp' header file the header file 'two.hpp' will be included. While compiling 'two.hpp' header file the 'one.hpp' will be included. While compiling...
This will give problems even if you use inclusion guards like
Therefore it is not necessarely a good idea to include all the needed header files within your header file. Using forward declarations will avoid those circular includes...for additional information about the whole subject take a look at the following FAQ...

CST RESP Questions
The Best Future For Your Child: Education Savings Simplified
For parents of small children, it can be hard to imagine their child as a grown-up ready to embark on college or university. When you take into consideration the amount of money it takes to fund an education, 18 years is not a whole lot of time. The journey to your child's education is one that can seem overwhelming. As the cost of tuition continues to increase, it is never too soon to set money aside or begin the planning process.
As the distributor and investment manager of the Canadian Scholarship Trust Plans, CST Consultants Inc. (CST) focuses solely on education savings plans – it's all we are about, and all that we do. It is through the distribution of RESPs that we strive to enable all Canadian children to have the financial resources to pursue post-secondary education. As a savings vehicle for post-secondary education, the benefits of an RESP are important to your child's future education.
There is nothing more important than knowledge and having the facts when deciding on your child's educational future and how to afford it. We are here to guide you on that journey. This page is designed to answer some common questions about our RESPs, so that families can make truly informed financial decisions.
If you have additional questions about CST RESPs, feel free to reach out to a CST Sales Representative and they will be more than happy to provide assistance.
Q: What is an RESP?
A: A Registered Education Savings Plan or RESP is a savings vehicle that allows subscribers, such as parents, grandparents, friends and other relatives, to save for a child or other beneficiary's post-secondary education.
Q: Why open an RESP?
A: An RESP is a way to proactively save money towards your child's education, so that when they're ready to begin their post-secondary education, you'll be ready to help pay for it. RESPs have an additional feature that makes them unique from other registered accounts and investment portfolios in the form of government grants.
Q: How much will post-secondary education cost?
A: The actual cost that students pay depends on their program of study and which school they attend. On average, tuition for university undergraduate programs for Canadian full-time students was $6,838 in 2018/2019, up 3.3% from the previous academic year. The average cost for graduate programs was $7,086, a 2.4% increase over 2017/2018.
Q: What is the minimum amount I need to open an RESP from CST Consultants?
A: The minimum amount you need to invest in a Group Savings Plan 2001 RESP from CST is the greater of $9.50 per month or one-tenth of a unit. This low contribution level is one of the key advantages of our Group Savings Plan 2001. If you enroll in a Family Savings Plan or Individual Savings Plan, the minimum initial contribution is $150. If your child is receiving the Canada Learning Bond, the minimum initial contribution for the Family Savings Plan and Individual Savings Plan will be waived.
Q: What are the tax advantages of an RESP?
A: An RESP offers several tax advantages. The investment income earned on your principal (contributions net of sales charges and fees) grows tax-free within the plan. The contributions you make attract government grants within the plan and the income earned on grants also grows tax-free. Payments from the plan are taxable in your child's name, and since they are collecting these payments when they are students and tend to have little or no annual income, little or no tax is payable.
A: No. Students have the option to take a year off or switch programs and schools and can still receive payments from their RESP. Students can receive up to four payments from the CST Group Savings Plan 2001 for a qualified full-time or part-time post-secondary education as long as they finish them by the 36th year of the plan.
A: The government is always evaluating new schools and programs – eligible institutions can range from community colleges and universities to vocational, technical, trade and religious schools. Canadian programs that are 3 weeks or more are also eligible, in addition to distance learning and correspondence courses.
Q: What kind of customer service can I expect from CST Consultants?
A: We are committed to fast, reliable and efficient customer service. You will have access to our customer care department (phone, email and live chat) and a Sales Representative is available to help you. Information about your account is available online any time on our secure CST Self-Serve Website. We'll send you a detailed statement of all the activity in your plan once a year.
Q: How can I maximize my child's RESP?
A: On birthdays, special milestones or holidays, consider asking family and friends to contribute money to an RESP as a gift. This is a great way to add to your savings and get more out of available government grants. Consider maximizing your child's RESP by contributing up to the allotted $2,500 per year.
Q: How will CST Consultants efficiently manage my child's RESP?
A: This is our area of expertise, so you'll have access to knowledgeable professionals and reliable savings strategies throughout the lifetime of your investment. CST portfolio managers help clients save for their children's post-secondary education through conservative, long-term investments. Our disciplined savings approach balances the need for income with principal protection and safety from excess market volatility. Your RESP principal and grants are invested in stable and secure fixed-income government and financial institution bonds. The principal will be returned to you at maturity.
Q: Can an RESP be used for living expenses during post-secondary education?
A: Yes. RESP money can be used for much more than tuition, books, and residence. Money can be used to purchase a meal plan or to pay for transportation to the school. Even costs like athletic or student activity fees would qualify.

First Olympic Appearance: 1896 (men); 2000 (women)
by John Gettings and Mark Zurlo
It's impossible to put an exact date on the first weightlifting competition, but to give you an idea, ancient Chinese texts and Greek statues commonly depict the feat. Not much about the sport has changed since then. The winner is still the man—and finally the woman—to lift the most weight.
Women's weightlifting made its first Olympic appearance in 2000. Both men and women must complete two different lifts in this event. In a "snatch lift", the barbell is pulled from the platform to above the head in one continuous motion. In a "clean-and-jerk" the lift is done in two motions. First, the bar is pulled up to the shoulders as the lifter goes into a squat and follows that with a burst into an upright position. Once there, with the bar resting on their chest, the lifter must extend his/her arms and raise the bar above their head and wait for the referee's signal.
The maximum weights the lifter is able to successfully lift using both techniques are added together to determine the winner.
If you want to keep track of how much each competitor is lifting it's easy because the plates at either end of the bar are color coded according to their weight: Red 25 kg/55 lbs; Blue 20 kg/44 lbs; Yellow 15 kg/33 lbs; Green 10 kg/22 lbs; White 5 kg/11 lbs; Black 2.5 kg/5.5 lbs; Silver 1.25 kg/2.75 lbs; Record Disks.25 kg/.55 lbs. And don't forget the bar-the men's bar weighs 44 pounds and the women's bar weighs 33 pounds.
Men compete in eight weight classes, and the women seven. The maximum weights for each of those classes were new in 2000, therefore, each gold medallist automatically established a new Olympic record in their weight class.
The weightlifting competition at the Beijing Games will feature 170 men and 90 women and will be held at the 5,400-seat Beijing University Gymnasium.

Siebel adapter uses the COM interface to invoke calls on Siebel. For business component query, Siebel supports two ways of retrieving the field values for records. One can either use GetFieldValue to retrieve one field at a time or the other option is to use GetMultipleFieldValues to retrieve values for a bunch of fields in one go. The latter is better from a performance standpoint and is what the adapter uses. The problem with this approach though is that even if one of the fields, whose values are being retrieved, is mis-configured, the entire query call fails.
In development environments, it can happen that some of the customizations have issues, resulting in query failure as described above. The first step towards diagnosing the problem is identification of those problematic fields. The error message doesn't always help identify the fields. When in such situation, one can use the attached Siebel COM sample code to narrow down the fields. You will need to add a reference to sstchca.dll (present in the Siebel install folder, in the bin sub-directory).
Once you have narrowed down the fields, you can either fix the issue with the field or if it's not of interest, mark them as inactive on Siebel backend. You can then query using the Siebel adapter without any issues. Alternately, you can also use the QueryFields (optional) argument passed to the query operation to retrieve only the fields of interest.

Sakaguchi Test Definition
Sakaguchi test is a biochemical test consisting of colorimetric reaction for the detection and quantification of guanidinium groups, used as a qualitative test for arginine that is either free or in protein. The test was discovered by and named after the Japanese Food Scientist Shoyo Sakaguchi in 1925. Sakaguchi test is an example of color reactions or test that is performed for the detection of amino acids or proteins. The test is a specific test for arginine where the guanidinium group of arginine reacts with 1-naphthol or α-naphthol to produce a colored product. It is a qualitative test, and the quantification of arginine is hindered in this test due to the slow rate of color development and destruction of some guanidinium groups by the reagent.
Objective of Sakaguchi Test
- To detect the presence of arginine in either free form or in proteins.
Principle of Sakaguchi Test
Sakaguchi test is based on the principle of reaction between 1-naphthol and the guanidinium groups in arginine, in the presence of an oxidizing agent. The exact mechanism of the reaction is not yet known; however, the reaction results in the formation of a red-colored complex due to the formation of an indole-like structure. The Sakaguchi reagent consists of sodium hypobromite and 1-naphthol. The sodium hypobromite acts as an oxidizing agent that facilitates the hydrogen bonding between two arginine molecules.
Image Source: Zlir'a.
- Sakaguchi reagent: 1% 1-naphthol in alcohol with a few drops of 10% sodium hypobromite solution of bromine water.
- 40% NaOH
- Sample (0.1% of arginine or 0.1% of creatine)
- Test tubes
- Test tube stand
Procedure of Sakaguchi Test
- About 3 ml of the test solution is added in a test tube, to which 1 ml of 40% NaOH is added and mixed correctly.
- Then, two drops of 1-naphthol are added to the same test tube and mixed thoroughly.
- Now, 4-5 drops of the 10% sodium hypobromite or bromine water is added.
- The test tube is observed for the development of color.
Result and Interpretation of Sakaguchi Test
- Positive result: A positive result on the Sakaguchi's test is demonstrated by the formation of red color. This indicates the presence of an arginine or guanidinium compound.
- Negative result: A negative result in the Sakaguchi's test is demonstrated by the absence of red color. This indicates an absence of arginine or a guanidinium compound.
Uses of Sakaguchi Test
- Sakaguchi's Test is a biochemical test for the detection of arginine in the free or combined form in proteins.
- The test is qualitative but can be made quantitative by the addition of urea that stabilizes the colored product.
- Quantitative analysis of the colored product is not possible with this test as the rate of Sakaguchi's reaction is slow.
- Similarly, some of the guanidinium groups in the solution might be destroyed by the hypochlorite, resulting in difficulties in testing results.

Come discover the Town of Stephenville – the natural environment needed to turn a career into an educational adventure!
People and Culture
The Town of Stephenville, located on the north shore of St. George's Bay in southwestern Newfoundland, is 48 degrees north latitude and 58 degrees west longitude. This area was once known as the Acadian Village. From 1848 until 1870, Stephenville was called Indian Head. The name Stephenville was first introduced in 1874. The Acadian Village was a settlement which stretched along the coast from Kippens in the far west to Seal Cove in the far east. This covered a total distance of seven miles.
The Acadian Village consisted of a majority of Roman Catholics who fished and farmed to earn a living. The village was established because of poverty and strife existing in Nova Scotia and the excellent fishing grounds and farm land that western Newfoundland had to offer. Not many details are known about this era.
The Acadian Village was founded in 1844 by two English families. William Hunt and James Penney settled near the Blanche River. They were from Margaree, Cape Breton.
A year later, Felix Gallant and his family arrived. They lived in a hut that had been left by visiting French fishermen. In the same year, on September 3, they had a son and named him Stephen. The following year, they revisited Margaree to have their child baptized. While there, they told their friends about this new "Paradise" where there was exceptionally good arm land and pleasant weather. He persuaded some of his friends to return to Newfoundland with him. Things were hard during the early years of the Town. People did not have enough food or supplies to support themselves. The winter of _PHONE_ was one of the worse that they had experienced. The Gallants and other settlers faced many hardships.
There is still some controversy over how Stephenville got its name. Some believe that Stephen Gallant was the first person born in the area and the town was named after him. However, some believe that Stephen LeBlanc was the first born and that it is after him the town is named.
Since its beginning in May of 1844, Stephenville has grown. The first census report in 1844 cited 103 inhabitants in the area. Today there are over 8,000. Stephenville has grown into an efficient and vibrant community. Today it is the second largest community on Newfoundland's west coast. It provides an exceptional quality of life and has a high level of industrial activity.
Stephenville's past American influence is still very evident in the town. There still remain underground ammunition depots, large airstrips, aircraft hangars and the streets names after American states. Few reminders exist of our past prior to the Americans.
In 1941 the United States obtained rights to construct an air force base in the St. George's Bay area of Newfoundland. The U.S. 76th Congress approved the 99 year lease and in April, 1941, construction began.
The air force base was originally referred to as Stephenville Air Base; however, it was renamed Ernest Harmon Air Force Base in June 23, 1948, in honour of Captain Ernest Emery Harmon. Harmon was a U.S. Army Corps ace who was killed in an air crash in 1933.
On September 1, 1943, the Newfoundland Base Command transferred control of the Harmon Field to the North Atlantic Wing, Air Transport Command. The base became a part of the Northeast Air Command in October, 1950. Then in April of 1957, the Strategic Air Command assumed control.
The mandate of the base was to maintain a tanker alert force and its capability to meet and refuel Strategic Air Command jet bombers on route to targets. The KC-97 was employed in this task. The base was also used as a refuelling stop for transatlantic military flights. In addition, Harmon supported three Air Defence Command units.
In 1957, the Canadian Department of Transportation constructed an air terminal building to accommodate Trans Canada Airlines. 1966 saw the closure of the U.S. Air Force Base in Stephenville. The airport is now owned and operated by a local airport authority.
Stephenville Airport was officially designated as an alternate in the Trans Oceanic Plane Stop (TOPS) program on July 23, 1970. On April 1, 1990, the airport was further designated for alternate use, fuelling only, by international scheduled air transport and for international general aviation regular use.
In recent years, Stephenville has become a favourite technical stop for international flights on route to Europe.
The Town of Stephenville was built on the shores of Bay St. George, with the Table Mountains to the northwest and the Indian Head Range to the east and northeast. The Lewis Hills, the highest elevation on Newfoundland Island at 2672′ above sea level, lie at the coastline of Port au Port Bay about 20 kilometres north.
How to get here
Stephenville is only hours away from eastern North American cities by air. The largest runway in Newfoundland, in excess of 10,000 feet, Stephenville Airport is ideally located and equipped to service both domestic and international flights.
By way of Route 460 or 490, Stephenville is 166 kilometres from the Marine Atlantic ferry terminal in Channel-Port aux Basques. A regular trans-island bus service, DRL Coach Lines, makes regular daily stops in Stephenville.

Tooltips in my application can be quite long, therefore I'd like them to have line breaks.
I don't want to use html as I'd prefer to set a (max) width of my tooltips instead and have the line breaks dynamically.
In the accepted answer the this similar question Multi-line tooltips in Java? I read about JMultiLineToolTip. Unfortunately the provided link doesn't work anymore and there are many different JMultiLineToolTip out there. Therefore my two questions:
 1. Which JMultiLineToolTip is a good one to use?
 2. How can I use such a class to represent all of the tooltips in my application?
EDIT: as everyone seems to recommend the use of html, is there a way to define the width of my tooltip in pixels (or some other unit than number of characters) using html?

If you are not afraid of extending swing tool tip, you can create your own JMultiLineToolTip:
 1. Extend JTooltip In the extended Tool tip component implementation,
 2. set a custom tool tip UI In customUI implementation
 3. Implementpaint() method to write given string in multi line
Here is an example - it shows how to use it as well
However, to answer your questions:
 1. Which JMultiLineToolTip is a good one to use?
 Use
 Per compopnent, it is easy but tedious to achieve as you will have to override creatreToolTip() API. But if you want to change it globally, you may:
 (i)Simple way - Register your custom tooltip UI with the UIManager at the beginning of your execution.
 UIManager.put( "ToolTipUI", "SeNormToolTipUI" );
 UIManager.put( "SeNormToolTipUI",Class.forName( multiLineToolTipUIClassName ) );
 (ii) complex way
 You will have to start implementing your own look and feel. In the look and feel implementation, you would provide defaults for ToolTipUI as your UI implementation and then set that look and feel to the application you are running. For instance take a look at the MetalLookAndFeel implementation. You may just extend that part and implement your on lnf.
So, it is better to use

1) Html is easiest of ways for plain JToolTip
2) use JWindow(un_decorated JDialog) with JTextArea, better would be JTextPane (supporting stylled text),
 - the disadvantage is you have to manually set window to the Point, you have to manually set for setInitialDelay and setDismissDelay (Swing Timer), setVisible(true/false)
 - the advantage is that you using full manageable top level container with definitions for own parent
3) I use JLabel with Html formatted and stylled text added to the GlassPane, notice easiest alternative is use non_opaque JLayeredPane (Java6) or JLayer (Java7)

Apache HBase Write Path
Apache HBase is the Hadoop database, and is based on the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). HBase makes it possible to randomly access and update data stored in HDFS, but files in HDFS can only be appended to and are immutable after they are created. So you may ask, how does HBase provide low-latency reads and writes? In this blog post, we explain this by describing the write path of HBase — how data is updated in HBase.
The write path is how an HBase completes put or delete operations. This path begins at a client, moves to a region server, and ends when data eventually is written to an HBase data file called an HFile. Included in the design of the write path are features that HBase uses to prevent data loss in the event of a region server failure. Therefore understanding the write path can provide insight into HBase's native data loss prevention mechanism.
Each HBase table is hosted and managed by sets of servers which fall into three categories:
- One active master server
- One or more backup master servers
- Many region servers
Region servers contribute to handling the HBase tables. Because HBase tables can be large, they are broken up into partitions called regions. Each region server handles one or more of these regions. Note that because region servers are the only servers that serve HBase table data, a master server crash cannot cause data loss.
HBase data is organized similarly to a sorted map, with the sorted key space partitioned into different shards or regions. An HBase client updates a table by invoking put or delete commands. When a client requests a change, that request is routed to a region server right away by default. However, programmatically, a client can cache the changes in the client side, and flush these changes to region servers in a batch, by turning the autoflush off. If autoflush is turned off, the changes are cached until flush-commits is invoked, or the buffer is full depending on the buffer size set programmatically or configured with parameter "hbase.client.write.buffer".
Since the row key is sorted, it is easy to determine which region server manages which key. A change request is for a specific row. Each row key belongs to a specific region which is served by a region server. So based on the put or delete's key, an HBase client can locate a proper region server. At first, it locates the address of the region server hosting the -ROOTregion from the ZooKeeper quorum. From the root region server, the client finds out the location of the region server hosting the -METAregion. From the meta region server, then we finally locate the actual region server which serves the requested region. This is a three-step process, so the region location is cached to avoid this expensive series of operations. If the cached location is invalid (for example, we get some unknown region exception), it's time to re-locate the region and update the cache.
After the request is received by the right region server, the change cannot be written to a HFile immediately because the data in a HFile must be sorted by the row key. This allows searching for random rows efficiently when reading the data. Data cannot be randomly inserted into the HFile. Instead, the change must be written to a new file. If each update were written to a file, many small files would be created. Such a solution would not be scalable nor efficient to merge or read at a later time. Therefore, changes are not immediately written to a new HFile.
Instead, each change is stored in a place in memory called the memstore, which cheaply and efficiently supports random writes. Data in the memstore is sorted in the same manner as data in a HFile. When the memstore accumulates enough data, the entire sorted set is written to a new HFile in HDFS. Completing one large write task is efficient and takes advantage to HDFS' strengths.
Although writing data to the memstore is efficient, it also introduces an element of risk: Information stored in memstore is stored in volatile memory, so if the system fails, all memstore information is lost. To help mitigate this risk, HBase saves updates in a write-ahead-log (WAL) before writing the information to memstore. In this way, if a region server fails, information that was stored in that server's memstore can be recovered from its WAL.
Note: By default, WAL is enabled, but the process of writing the WAL file to disk does consume some resources. WAL may be disabled, but this should only be done if the risk of data loss is not a concern. If you choose to disable WAL, consider implementing your own disaster recovery solution or be prepared for the possibility of data loss.
The data in a WAL file is organized differently from HFile. WAL files contain a list of edits, with one edit representing a single put or delete. The edit includes information about the change and the region to which the change applies. Edits are written chronologically, so, for persistence, additions are appended to the end of the WAL file that is stored on disk. Because WAL files are ordered chronologically, there is never a need to write to a random place within the file.
As WALs grow, they are eventually closed and a new, active WAL file is created to accept additional edits. This is called "rolling" the WAL file. Once a WAL file is rolled, no additional changes are made to the old file.
By default, WAL file is rolled when its size is about 95% of the HDFS block size. You can configure the multiplier using parameter: "hbase.regionserver.logroll.multiplier", and the block size using parameter: "hbase.regionserver.hlog.blocksize". WAL file is also rolled periodically based on configured interval "hbase.regionserver.logroll.period", an hour by default, even the WAL file size is smaller than the configured limit.
Constraining WAL file size facilitates efficient file replay if a recovery is required. This is especially important during replay of a region's WAL file because while a file is being replayed, the corresponding region is not available. The intent is to eventually write all changes from each WAL file to disk and persist that content in an HFile. After this is done, the WAL file can be archived and it is eventually deleted by the LogCleaner daemon thread. Note that WAL files serve as a protective measure. WAL files need only be replayed to recover updates that would otherwise be lost after a region server crash.
A region server serves many regions, but does not have a WAL file for each region. Instead, one active WAL file is shared among all regions served by the region server. Because WAL files are rolled periodically, one region server may have many WAL files. Note that there is only one active WAL per region server at a given time.
Assuming the default HBase root of "/hbase", all the WAL files for a region server instance are stored under the same root folder, which is as follows:
WAL log files are named as follows:
/hbase/.logs/, ,/%2C %2C.
Each edit in the WAL file has a unique sequence id. This id increases to preserve the order of edits. Whenever a log file is rolled, the next sequence id and the old file name are put in an in-memory map. This information is used to track the maximum sequence id of each WAL file so that we can easily figure out if a file can be archived at a later time when some memstore is flushed to disk.
Edits and their sequence ids are unique within a region. Any time an edit is added to the WAL log, the edit's sequence id is also recorded as the last sequence id written. When the memstore is flushed to disk, the last sequence id written for this region is cleared. If the last sequence id written to disk is the same as the maximum sequence id of a WAL file, it can be concluded that all edits in a WAL file for this region have been written to disk. If all edits for all regions in a WAL file have been written to disk, it is clear that no splitting or replaying will be required, and the WAL file can be archived.
WAL file rolling and memstore flush are two separate actions, and don't have to happen together. However, we don't want to keep too many WAL files per region server so as to avoid time-consuming recovery in case a region server failure. Therefore, when a WAL file is rolled, HBase checks if there are too many WAL files, and decide what regions should be flushed so that some WAL files can be archived.
In this post, we explain the HBase write path, which is how data in HBase is created and/or updated. Some important parts of it are:
- How a client locates a region server,
- Memstore which supports fast random writes,
- WAL files as the way to avoid data loss in case region server failures.
We will talk about HFile formats, WAL file splitting and so on in subsequent posts.

A note on the distribution of cassava amongst different climate and soil types in South America

CARTER, S.E. 1986. A note on the distribution of cassava amongst different climate and soil types in South America. Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT), Cali, CO. 17 p.
Permanent link to this item: _URL_
The distribution of cassava among different climate and soil types in South America, based on the adopted hierachical classification of soil and climate conditions for cassava, is briefly discussed. Both soil and climate components of the classification have been used to produce a map of environmental homologues for the crop. By subdividing cassava-growing areas on the basis of a simple climatic and edaphic classification, it is apparent that the ecosystems of CIAT's cassava program cover some important climate-soil homologues; if the system is to be continuously used, a more systematic approach towards soils is required and there are some important semiarid and highland areas that are not currently covered. It is recognized that the cassava program cannot work specifically for all the different classes identified, but the knowledge of their existence and relative importance can help the process of deciding where to work and how many different ecosystems to work for. The organization of data in a microregion framework is seen as a longer-term solution to climatic and edaphic classification problems that arise in the cassava program's research and planning. (CIAT)

You get this error when two or more Oracle APEX applications have the same alias.
When you import the sample application in the same workspace and give it a different ID, the alias is changed automatically so it's unique. However when you import an application in a different workspace, the alias is not being replaced by a unique value, which might result in the error: "The application alias "X" can not be converted to a unique application ID."
There's an easy way to find where those applications are with the same alias by running the following query (as a DBA or a user with the APEX_ADMINISTRATOR_ROLE):
select workspace, application_id, application_name from apex_applications where alias = 'X'
This will give you the workspace, application id, and application name with the specific alias.

From Ohio History Central
Mineral specimens are not so nearly widespread in Ohio as are fossil specimens, but many areas of the state produce interesting minerals. Many of the best specimens of mineral crystals from Ohio have come from limestone and dolomite quarries in northwestern Ohio. Unfortunately for the collector, most of these quarries are now closed to collectors because of safety and legal considerations. Always OBTAIN PERMISSION before collecting on private property. The book, Minerals of Ohio, available from the Division of Geological Survey of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, is an excellent guide to identification, occurrence, and collecting information on minerals in Ohio.

Following the fall of the Roman Empire, the Saxons arrived in the area around 500 AD [1] and created several settlements, including Middridge. The name "Middridge" is derived from its location at that time on the "middle ridge" between Eldon and School Aycliffe (near the current Aycliffe golf course).
Anglo-Saxon Middridge lasted for five hundred years before being destroyed by the Normans during William the Conqueror's Harrying of the North. Those who survived this massacre (and the resulting disease and starvation) were enslaved by the invaders. They were forced by the Bishop of Durham to toil in the surrounding fields as serfs, and forcibly relocated to gloomy huts centred on the village green. The "serfs" eventually gained their freedom and the village green survives to this day, although the housing has improved considerably.
The arrival of the industrial age in the nineteenth century resulted in two coal mines: Charles Pit and Eden Pit.[2] These pits were collectively known as Middridge Colliery, and provided employment for hundreds of people in their heyday while producing a combined daily total of 600 tons of coal,[3] before closing in the early 20th century. The remains of this era live on in the names of places such as Charles Row, Eden Grove and the "pit heap", a small hill used in the winter as a sledge run# Until recently, the pit heap was also used to host the annual village bonfire#
Notable buildings and structures[edit]
Middridge Grange is a Grade II listed building [4] situated just outside the village itself, between Shildon and School Aycliffe. It is one of the oldest buildings in the region, beginning life as a large Elizabethan manor in 1578. However, the current Middridge Grange bears little resemblance to the original manor, much of which was destroyed by fire in the 19th century.
Used as a farmhouse, it has been owned by the Scott family since the early 20th century but has not been lived in since the 1970s, after falling into serious disrepair. A site of great interest to historians, it is currently undergoing an extensive renovation.
Middridge Village Hall was originally built as a school for the children of the village and local farming community. It served this purpose for many years, but due to a continuing fall in pupil numbers in the 1950s and 1960s and changes in education policy, it closed.
To prevent the building becoming derelict, the committee of the village association took over the administration of the hall. After various repairs and alterations, it became the village hall, which it has been for well over thirty years. The village hall is used as a venue for discos, church services, parties and social gatherings such as the monthly wine club. The hall has recently been refurbished, with an entirely new roof section, plumbing structure and electrical system.
Famous residents[edit]
The Byerley Turk, the great stallion owned by the then Captain (later Colonel) Robert Byerley, was arguably Middridge's most famous resident. The Byerley Turk was one of the three[5] founding stallions of today's thoroughbred horses and was stood at Middridge Grange, until being moved to Goldsborough Hall, near Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, when his owner married his cousin, Mary Wharton, in 1692.
Robert Byerley was the son of Colonel Anthony Byerley, a cavalry officer who served Charles I in a unit known as "Byerley's Bulldogs". The Byerley line eventually died out, but their name lives on in place names around the region, such as Byerley Park, Byerley Road etc.
It is believed that King Charles I of England took refuge in Middridge Grange during the English Civil War.[6]
Legends and folklore[edit]
The Middridge fairies (or faeries) are, according to legend, very different from the kind, winged fairies of popular culture. They are rumoured to be evil demons that scourge people and generally cause mischief. The story goes that the fairies chased a traveller, who took refuge in Middridge Grange, getting inside the building just before the pitchfork struck the door. The pitchfork mark was reputedly on this door for many years afterwards. They were also blamed for disruptions to the building of the Stockton and Darlington railway.
The village fete[edit]
Middridge village fete is a yearly event for the local community (but people come from miles around). It is usually a combination of a jumble sale, children's entertainment, competitions and other events, usually ending in a barbecue that is enjoyed alongside copious amounts of alcohol.
In 1974 during excavations for the foundation of the Bay Horse Pub extension in Middridge, a hoard of coins mainly dating from Edward 1 era was found. Known as "The Middridge Hoard", the significant hoard was mainly distributed at an auction by Dinning in 1976, although some remain in the Dorman Long Museum in Middlesbrough, and the British Treasury Museum in London. The Hoard. The hoard of 3072 coins was estimated to be buried in 1311, and consisted of mainly English, but also Irish, Scottish and Continental coins.

Myth, Symbol, and Meaning in Mary Poppins
Published November 22nd 2006 by Routledge – 224 pages
The Mary Poppins that many people know of today--a stern, but sweet, loveable, and reassuring British nanny--is a far cry from the character created by Pamela Lyndon Travers in the 1930's. Instead, this is the Mary Poppins reinvented by Disney in the eponymous movie. This book sheds light on the original Mary Poppins,
Myth, Symbol, and Meaning in Mary Poppins is the only full-length study that covers all the Mary Poppins books, exposing just how subversive the pre-Disney Mary Poppins character truly was. Drawing important parallels between the character and the life of her creator, who worked as a governess herself, Grilli reveals the ways in which Mary Poppins came to unsettle the rigid and rigorous rules of Victorian and Edwardian society that most governesses embodied, taught, and passed on to their charges.
Giorgia Grilli teaches children's literature at the University of Bologna. She has published four books on children's literature in Italian.

Using your hat:
- To remove the bobble, grasp the hat as close to the magnet as possible with one hand and the bobble with the other and snap (as if you were breaking a KitKat). This way you avoid pulling on the hat and the seams.
- To store the hat and its three bobbles in the box, remove the bobble from the hat, put the bobbles in the hat, roll it widthways and put it in the box.
- Some hats (meads) have a "loose" effect - they are designed to fall backwards so feel free to pull them back a little to put them on.
- Our materials are tested for pilling, however, like with any fabric it happens after a while. To delay this, avoid carrying your hat in the bottom of a bag or in a place where it could rub and turn it over if it does.
Caring for your hat:
- Wash at 30 °C or 40 °C without the bobbles! It's more environmentally friendly and it works very well. The bobbles don't go through the wash because there is a small spot of glue to hold the threads together.
- Air-dry flat, avoid tumble drying clothes, it's not very environmentally friendly and it will damage your super hat.
- Clean the bobbles with a damp cloth, do not machine wash.


Unwinding the Cucumber Tendril Mystery
How a cucumber creates its curling tendril has puzzled scientists for centuries. Even Charles Darwin and Asa Gray were stumped. Now, with the help of time-lapse photography and prosthetic tendril fabricated in the lab, physicist Sharon Gerbode, biologist Joshua Puzey, and colleagues have figured out why tendrils twist, according to a new study in Science.

Adult in breeding plumage
The Chinese Pond Heron, Ardeola bacchus, is a wading bird of the heron family Ardeidae, found in shallow fresh and salt-water wetlands and ponds in China and East Asia. A stray bird stopping over on Saint Paul Island, Alaska August 4-9, 1997, was the first recorded occurrence of this species in the USA (AOU 2000).
The Chinese Pond Heron is typically 47cm long with white wings, a yellow bill with a black tip, yellow eyes and legs. Its overall colour is red, blue and white during breeding season, and greyish-brown and flecked with white at other times. The Chinese Pond Heron lays a clutch of 3-6 blue-green eggs, often in mixed nests with other herons. Its diet comprises or insects, fish, and crustaceans.

Joti jot is a Punjabi phrase which literally means the "light joining another light" and is used to refer to the "joining of the light of the human person (soul) to the Supreme Light (God)". It is a term that is customarily used to refer to the "accession of a honoured person to their heavenly abode". In simple terms, this is a polite and honourable term used to refer to the "death" of a respected, honoured and blessed person. In its original language, it is a term which is polite, respectful and traditional. When referring to the death of the Sikh gurus, this term is commonly used.
The Sikh scriptures teach that the soul is indestructible and survives for eternity. When the person dies, it is only the body that is destroyed; the soul carries on its journey of reincarnation until it becomes pure and sinless so that it can blend with the pure Lord. So when the body of a person who is pure and one who has lived a life of righteousness dies, the soul of this perfect person is said to join the Almighty God. The act of joining with the Lord is referred to as "Joti jot samana" (Sah-ma-na means to "merge")
The Gurus tell us that the person's soul is immortal and that the soul never dies and is never born. However, the soul travels through many lives where the soul experiences birth and death while living within various bodies. This cycle of births and death only stops when the soul attains salvation or Mukti when it leaves this existence in moral bodies and joins the immortal supreme soul (god). The person is then said to have rejoined with God. This special condition is referred to as "Joti Jot" in Punjabi.

sync command. This would be faster than performing a cdr repair
because the cdr repair must scan the data pages in primary key order while the sync does not. The cdr sync/repair features were introduced in 10.x which basically provided the ability to recognize the differences between tables, between multiple nodes within the replication domain, while ER running and take necessary action as instructed.Vijay Lolabattu
In IDS Cheetah release, you can encrypt communication between an HDR pair, to secure the transmission of data over unsecured networks, including the internet. After you enable encryption, the HDR primary encrypts the data before sending it to the HDR Secondary server. The HDR secondary server decrypts the data. Use new ONCONFIG parameter ENCRYPT_HDR to enable encryption between the HDR pair. You can also customized encryption using following parameters.
|Configuration Parameter ||Default value ||Comments/Description |
|ENCRYPT_HDR ||0 ||0 - disable, 1 - enable HDR encryption |
|ENCRYPT_CIPHERS ||allbut: || Defines ciphers and modes that can be used by the current database session. |
The following ciphers are currently supported:
- des (64-bit key), des3 (Triple DES), desx (Extended DES, 128-bit key)
- aes/aes128 (128-bit key), aes192 (192-bit key), aes256 (256-bit key)
- bf-1 Blowfish (64-bit key), bf-2 (128-bit key), bf-3 (192-bit key)
|ENCRYPT_MAC ||medium ||Controls the level of message authentication code (MAC) generation. |
- off - does not use MAC generation.
- low - uses XOR folding on all messages.
- medium - uses SHA1 MAC generation for all messages greater than 20 bytes long
and XOR folding on smaller messages.
- high - uses SHA1 MAC generation on all messages.
|ENCRYPT_MACFILE ||builtin ||A list of the full path names of MAC key files. |
|ENCRYPT_SWITCH ||60,60 ||Defines the frequency (in minutes) at which ciphers, secret keys are renegotiated. |
- To use your own MAC key file
- Execute the following command to generate MAC Key file.
$INFORMIXDIR/bin/GenMacKey -o /usr/informix/etc/MacKey1.dat
- Copy MacKey1.dat over to the paired server
- Update ENCRYPT_MACFILE configuration parameter on both the servers as shown below
- NOTE - HDR and Enterprise Replication (ER) share the same encryption configuration parameters: ENCRYPT_CIPHERS, ENCRYPT_MAC, ENCRYPT_MACFILE and ENCRYPT_SWITCH.
The latest Beta drop of IDS Cheetah
is now available, with some important new features integrated into the code line..
New features available in Beta drop 5 include:
- AIX 64-bit platform build available for download
- Web Feature Service for Spatial Data - Delivers spatial information as a web service for your Service Oriented Architecture
- Label Based Access Control (LBAC) - Control data access at a row and column level using security labels
- Continuous Availability with multiple HDR remote secondary servers
The following Infocenter page has a complete list of new features for each Beta drop: _URL_
From IDS 10.0x onwards, Enterprise Replication
(ER) supports alteroperations on a replicated table while replication is active however, RENAME
support was not one of them but that changes in Cheetah. IDS 11.x willstart supporting RENAME on ER columns, tables and databases. This featuresimplifies DBA tasks and increases data availability. Without this feature, theDBA would have to plan on a time in which ER could be removed from the objectso that the rename could be performed. This would require advanceplanning and scheduling during non-peek hoursfor performing the rename.
When a RENAME operation is performedaffected replicate definitions will be updated to reflect the impact of theRENAME and a control message will be sent to the other servers informing themof the rename. RENAME operation is allowed onlyon a mastered replicate
. It does not propagate the RENAME command itself, there are plans to implement that too inthe future. The user simply will issue a rename DDL statement on each of theservers that are affected by RENAME. If therename is a column or a table, then the replicate will be cycled (cdr stop/start replicate) in much thesame way that occurs with a table ALTER
. If a database rename occurs,however, ER will be cycled (cdr stop/start). This cycling will only occur if the renameaffects something on the local node. In all cases, the rename will causea control message to be sent to the other servers within the replication domainso that the syscdr database
is correctlyupdated.Vijay Lolabattu

How come my SetFocus or other Window command isn't finding the correct window?
This could be for a variety of reasons:
1. Make sure you have the correct window title - use Tools/View System Windows to get a list of all windows currently in your system.
2. If you are specifying a wild card be sure to be as specific as possible as there could be some hidden or child windows with the same string in their title. Be sure to read the help file to understand the way the wildcard works.
3. Perhaps your script is finding a child window which you can't see on the screen. Try setting WF_TYPE to 0 to ignore child windows (LET>WF_TYPE=0).

Dust in your ear holes, dust in your eye.
Dust in those knickers you hung out to dry…
Whilst many coastal and bush land communities suffered the ravages of fire and flood this summer, some rural Australian towns suffer under the blanket of giant dust storms that can turn day into night and envelop everything in their path.
We spoke to Sarah Chamberlain, Director of Little Diggers Preschool and Childcare in Lightning Ridge, to find out how they deal with the dust storms, what they do to keep children safe and how they foster a positive mindset.
Lack of rain is drying out plants and topsoil across huge areas of country Australia. When conditions are right, the dry red dust gets picked up by wind gusts and carried hundreds of kilometres across Australia and even out to sea.
Towns like Lightning Ridge and Broken Hill in NSW are being swept by these giant dust storms more than once a month, all year round. Up to 15 dust storms were recorded across 2019 in these areas.
"You can feel a dust storm coming," says Sarah. "The air feels heavy and thick – just like that pressure or tension when a storm is coming. You can see this dark cloud on the horizon – at first you hope that it will bring rain. When you realise it's dust you have to quickly pack up all the outside areas, get all the children inside and close all the doors and windows.
"The children are 'wired', some of them understand what's happening but many are confused. We put on the air conditioner and do indoor activities all day."
It's the cumulative effect of the long drought, severe water restrictions and the increase in the number and severity of dust storms that weighs people down, says Sarah.
Dealing with the aftermath can be demoralising.
"We spent hours sweeping the red dust from the windows, doors and outdoor furniture after the last dust storm," shares Sarah. "If you've left anything out on the washing line you just have to re-wash. Some people can't be bothered to clean away the layers of dust from their doors and window sills because it will just get covered with dust again when the next one comes."
While the dirt and residue left by dust storms can be annoying and disheartening, it's the growing health concerns that are most worrying. Doctors are reporting a rise in the number of adults and children with asthma. This rise has been apparent even among people who previously had no difficulty breathing. Signs of difficulty breathing include: chest tightness, wheezing, coughing or shortness of breath.
"One thing you're hit with is the reality that water is so precious," says Sarah. "We need to look after it because we rely on it so much. We've been doing activities to learn about how important water is for survival and the need to save water.
"For outdoor play in the mud kitchen we fill the water container that has measuring markings inside and the children are told that's the only water they will get all day. We've also done experiments to show how plants need water to live.
"We also find ways to focus on kindness, gratitude, being grateful for what we do have. We want to support the wellbeing of the children and educators so we can be there for each other through the challenges that people face."
How Dust Storms Form
For dust storms to form, the soil needs to be dry and exposed.
Then you need strong winds that can pick up the soil and carry it across long distances. Just how powerful the wind needs to be depends on the size of the dust particles, but the minimum speed is about 30 kilometres per hour.
The storms are more likely to form if there's an unstable atmosphere that can lift the dust into the air.
Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) forecaster Jonathan How told ABC News that a classic example of an unstable atmosphere occurs ahead of a trough or a cold front, where air is rising, or before thunderstorms.
And the dust is likely to stay in the air and travel if there are dry conditions
Mr How says if the atmosphere is moist, there's a greater chance of seeing the dust particles condense into clouds or rain — or the dust could join together and become too heavy to be carried by the wind.
Precautions to take during a dust storm
- Stay indoors as much as possible, particularly if you are at risk of health problems.
- Close the windows, doors and vents.
- If possible, stay in an air-conditioned room.
- If you have to go outside, wear a mask over your mouth and nose to prevent you from breathing in dust. A P2 or P3 mask, available from a hardware store should be effective.
- Avoid exercise, particularly if outdoors.
- Be aware of any children with asthma or other conditions and their action plan or treatment plan.

A case-control study on Alzheimer's disease and exposure to anesthesia
- First Online:
A retrospective hospital-based case-control study was performed with the aim to evaluate the association between exposure to anesthesia and Alzheimer's disease (AD). A total of 115 AD patients, 230 Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and 230 patients with non-degenerative neurological disease were studied. Each AD case was matched for sex, age (±3 years) and geographic area of residence with four controls (2 PD patients and 2 with other neurological disease). Information about exposure to general anesthesia and other variables was gathered through hospital records. No associations were found between the risk of AD and the exposure to anesthesia in the 1 and 5 years preceding disease onset, nor between the risk of AD and the number of surgical operations. A significant difference was observed between the mean age of AD patients and controls undergoing surgical procedures. The present study reveals a lack of association between exposure to general anesthesia and AD. Prospective epidemiological studies are needed in order to investigate levels of exposure to anesthesia, as well as any possible relationships between anesthetic exposure and genetic factors (e. g. APOEɛ4 genotype).

What If We Thought Of Gender Like Ice Cream? It Makes Sense, Here's Why
Gender identity is a deeply personal issue that many people still have trouble understanding and respecting.
Unlearning restrictive binary genders is a process, but one that is well worth the effort.
This comic highlights the importance of looking past restrictive ideas of gender and embracing the idea that every identity is 'real' and deserves to be respected. After all, each person knows themselves best.

Hydrofluoric acid is extremely corrosive. Acute exposures are especially hazardous and can result in severe burns or respiratory damage. U. S. manufacturers use hydrofluoric acid to produce fluorocarbons, aluminum and other chemical products. Metal pickling and etching applications are the primary end-uses for hydrofluoric acid in Massachusetts. Hydrofluoric acid use is on the decline in Massachusetts. However, produced as an unintended byproduct, coal-fired power plants are a potential source of public exposure to hydrofluroic acid.
Massachusetts. facilities reported using 640,000 pounds of hydrofluoric acid in 1996. Hydrofluoric acid use in Massachusetts declined slightly, by 5%, between 1990 and 1996.
