It was whilst flicking through Professor Alan S. C. Ross's book 'Don't Say It' that I stumbled merrily upon these two terms, which were both new to me. A pre-lactarian is someone who pours their milk into their tea or coffee before the hot water; a post-lactarian is someone who adds milk last.
But which method is correct? Well, there is no strict answer to this. It has its roots in class distinction.
In previous eras, adding the milk in before the hot water was always done by the 'downstairs' of the big houses, who would have pottery mugs. These mugs did not react too well to the boiling water, and thus the cold milk was poured in first so that it instantly cooled the water and thus the mugs survived in one piece.
Meanwhile, in the 'upstairs' of the house, where they could afford cups and saucers made from china or porcelain, the milk could be added after the hot water, as the cups were able to cope with the boiling water as they were made from a more resilient material.
As to who actually invented the terms pre and post-lactarian, I do not know and I am still researching, but they are much grander than some of the terms one could use instead!

Mabuhay (pronunciation: muhBU-hai ) is a Tagalog greeting. It literally is the imperative form of "live", from the root word buhay (life).
The phrase is comparable in sentiment to the Romance language expression "Vive, Viva", and the Japanese exclamation Banzai. It has carries various meanings including "may you live", "cheers", "welcome", and "hurrah".
This sentiment is being used in the Proclamation of Philippine Independence, they use the sentiment Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
The expression is mostly used for toasts during gatherings and parties, and is used as a cry of adulation towards individuals or concepts at rallies and political conferences. A more modern appropriation of the greeting is its use in the local hospitality industry to welcome guests. Alternatively, the Spanish ¡Viva! survives in mostly religious contexts, specifically in shouts of praise directed at a patron saint or to the Deity during fiestas and assemblies (e.g., "¡Viva Señor Santo Niño!")

Geotechnical Drilling Sydney: 4 Tips for Choosing the Best Geotechnical Drilling Company
Selecting a geotechnical drilling contractor is one of the most high-stakes decisions you can make for any project. Picture this: you're finally able to build the project of your dreams.
With any luck, this building will be your legacy. You finally have the budget, materials, and expertise to pull it off. Since you're so excited, you dive in headfirst and start building.
Once you're done, the building is perfect. But in a few years, the entire building collapses into the ground. As a legal, moral, and ethical concern, this is an absolute disaster.
What went wrong? You moved too fast and didn't invest enough focus on geotechnical drilling.
That's why we're here to provide some tips to help you choose the best contractor. Whether you're Googling 'geotechnical drilling Sydney' or relying on word of mouth, you'll be well-equipped to take on your next project.
1. What Is Their Attitude Like?
Attitude is everything for three reasons. For starters, you need to be able to picture yourself working with them. Geotech drilling is a high-stakes job, but that doesn't excuse a sour attitude.
If someone is a pain to work with, you'll find yourself reaching out to them far less than you actually need to. What does this mean? Your project will inevitably suffer.
With a poor attitude, someone will be disengaged from the work they're doing. Disengagement equals apathy, and apathy results in mistakes. Geotechnical drilling in Sydney can be life-or-death since mistakes result in expensive fixes or personal injuries.
2. What Experience Do They Have?
Every geotechnical drilling company has to start somewhere. Each company was on its first project at some point.
However, that doesn't mean that you necessarily would like to volunteer to be their guinea pig. In geotechnical drilling, no two projects are exactly the same.
The more projects a company has accomplished, the more versatile its skillset will be. This will allow them to tackle any projects with enthusiasm and know-how.
3. Do They Prioritise Teamwork?
In Sydney geotechnical drilling, teamwork is everything. This isn't just for the sake of productivity or team morale. Instead, it's crucial to ensuring that your team can protect itself.
You're working in a dangerous environment with hazardous equipment. If your geotechnical drilling contractor can't be trusted to work with others and prioritize their safety, then they shouldn't be working with you.
4. Do They Embody Flexibility and Persistence?
These are character traits you can't easily identify from simply Googling 'geotechnical drilling Sydney'. Working on geotechnical drilling projects means that there will be adverse circumstances.
Each day can present new challenges. But the ability to combat adversity and think outside of the box will prove to be invaluable for your projects.

12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 ounces white chocolate chips (see headnote above)
4 ounces (72 individual) mini pretzel twists
1.Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon baking sheet
2.Melt the semi-sweet chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds at 50% power. Stir the chips. Microwave for 30 seconds at 100% power. Stir until chocolate is melted and smooth. If the chocolate still has lumps, microwave in 15-second intervals at 100% power, stirring between each interval until smooth.
3.Dip half the pretzels in semi-sweet chocolate: Place a mini pretzel in the semi-sweet chocolate and push it below the surface with a fork to coat.
4.Remove the excess chocolate: Use a fork to remove the pretzel from the chocolate. Then tap it gently against the sides of the bowl until most of the chocolate has dripped off. Wipe the bottom of the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate then slide the pretzel onto the lined baking sheet (use a second fork if needed). Repeat until you have coated half the pretzels. You should still have a little melted chocolate left.
5.Repeat with the white chocolate: Repeat the process for melting the chocolate using the white chocolate chips in a clean bowl. Repeat the coating process with the remaining pretzels in the white chocolate.
6.Drizzle the pretzels using the remaining chocolate: Dip a fork the remaining semi-sweet chocolate and drizzle it over the white chocolate-coated pretzels; repeat with the remaining white chocolate. If you want more control over the drizzle, scoop the chocolate into a quart size freezer re-sealable bag. Snip a very small corner of the bag (1/16-inch) to make a tiny hole. Squeeze the bag to drizzle the chocolate in a more controlled manner.
7.Refrigerate all the pretzels until the chocolate is hard: Then remove from pan and store in an air-tight container in the fridge. The pretzels will keep for 7 to 10 days.

Navigate inside entity objects
Hi All, I am working on an application, where i have list of questions that need to be answered by user. I have all the question created already in a Master Entity and i am using this entity to show questions on a page where i have a template grid (4*4) showing all question number and data view (listing to list view ) to show the correspond questions. Now i have option to click on question numbers to show the question on right in a data view but i want a button also which will navigate me through the question. Like i am on question 1 and i click next and move to question 2. Is their any way by which i can achieve this? Thanks

You can try doing the following
 1. In your entity you must have some attribute that determines the order of the question
 2. Develop two buttons in dataview (previous and next)
 3. When pressing the next button, retrieve the current object in dataview,
 4. Based on the order from the object, get the question with next order, pass it to the dataview and refresh it.
 5. I already have my doubts on this, but this is for you to try
Another option to try would be
 1. Try having a template grid showing all details of questions and limit the items shown to 1 with pagination enabled.
 2. But you can not have listen to widget option working between two template grids.

I need to pick a future date from calendar, suppose the date I am selecting is 04/30/2013. Now what I want is to send the date to server. At server end I need to calculate the number of days between the future date and current date and send it to database.
The problem is that when I do the calculation locally (because my server and browser are in same timezone) it works fine, but when the server is in a different timezone than the browser the difference in days does not come as expected. Someone please help me how to solve the timezone issues.

Why don't you substract the dates on the client? – NeplatnyUdaj Apr 17 '13 at 9:23

Your question is not entirely clear to me: you are using javascript on the client side and java on your server? – jeroen_de_schutter Apr 17 '13 at 9:26
Well, you could simply pass the utc time to the server which generates the dates and calc the days between. – sk2212 Apr 17 '13 at 9:28

Convert both dates in one common timezone e.g. GMT and then calculate the difference.

To Offset for time differences
You should use a format to send the data that includes the timezone within it. You could:
 1. Use UNIX time which does not use timezones (milliseconds since epoch) with GMT 00, and also use this on java side
see: Get current date/time in seconds?
 1. Use ISO-8601 which is a standard and can include the timezone as well of the browser, and then parse this server side:
To Calculate the Difference (using MS and Calendar Object)
You need to use the calendar object. You create a calendar object and set with a future date: e.g. How to set Java.util.calendar to a specific time period in the future Then you can perform a calculation by subtracting the current date (as long) with the long returned by the calendar, and dividing by (1000*60*60*24).
Some code I used in my own application to find entries greater than a specific datetime (midnight):
long currentTimeStamp = System.currentTimeMillis();
Calendar cal;
cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(new Date(currentTimeStamp));
cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0); cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0); cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0); cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND,0);
long midnight = cal.getTimeInMillis();
if(currentTimeStamp - midnight > (30*24*60*60*1000))break;

How To Validate Error Responses in Mocking Services APIs
The implementation of mocking services plays a vital role in design-specific development. Here, we look at them through the lens of behavioral headers.
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
The implementation of mocking services plays a vital role in design-specific development. If we are developing any new project or implementing any new functionality by consuming some API's which are still in a development phase, no consumers (front-end developer or any other) of the API will wait until the API is completely developed; they need some mocking service with some sample responses and error responses so they can start their development (assuming front-end dev in this case).
With mocking services, we can easily check what successful response we are getting, but it is quite difficult to validate the error response messages. Like how a mocking service can return an error message corresponding to 500 lines of status code, as there is no server involved.
Fortunately, we have "Behavioral Headers" for this, which we will discuss in this article.
What Are Behavioral Headers?
Behavioral headers enable you to change the behavior of the mocking service. There are some keys and values which you have to pass in the headers to test the expected behavior of mocking service. In this post, we are going to brief some of the Behavioral Headers provided by MuleSoft. If in case, you want to see it in detail, visit the MuleSoft website here.
Without wasting time, let's dive into the basic concepts of Behavioral Headers.
In order to test Behavioral Headers, we need the RAML specification and its Mocking Service URL. So I have created the sample RAML as shown in Figure 1, after publishing makes it public and get the mocking URL which in my case is:
Figure 1 Test of behavioral header
Now in order to hit this, you can use any client; here I have used Postman.
Let us now go through some of the Behavioral headers:
MS2-Status-Code: MS2-Status-Code Behavioral Header will enforce mocking service to return an error response corresponding to a specific HTTP Status code. Suppose you want the mocking service to return an error response corresponding to 500 status code, there is no way to return that, so in order to achieve this, we just need to pass the following attributes in headers:
This you can see in Figure 2 as below:
Figure 2 An example of the ms2-status-code used to identify an error response
Note: If you pass any other value that is not implemented in the mocking service, it will throw an error message. Like in my case, I have not implemented the 404 error code, so when I pass 404 as a value, then it will throw an error message as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3 404 as a value is passed since a 404 error code has not been implemented
S2-Delay: Suppose we are consuming API using front-end Angular, and we know that some API endpoints can have a delay while returning a response, and want to handle the front-end side by introducing Asynchronous concepts. How will mocking service return that delay? Well, here comes the role of MS2-Delay behavior headers.
It's very simple—you just need to provide one header with an MS2-Delay with time in milliseconds as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 MS2-Delay with time in milliseconds
Note: You can only provide a maximum time delay of 10000 ms.
- MS2-Randomize: While writing a mocking service, if we only provide data types and don't want to provide response examples because of any reason (like shortage of time, etc.), but the consumer wants that response, then just by setting true corresponding to MS2-Randomize will generate random responses.
For example, suppose that an API specification contained the definitions of this type:
Now passing MS2-Randomize with true value in headers will generate a random response of something like the code below:
If you have some error in your RAML, but you want to test some other endpoints which are not having errors, you cannot do that until your API doesn't have any errors, because when you invoke the mocking service it will validate your RAML first. If you want to skip the validation for mocking service, you need to set false corresponding to the MS2-Strict-Model-Validation in the Headers part.
We came to know about some Behavioral Headers which are useful while testing the mocking services like testing the specific error response code, introducing some delays, generating random responses, and skipping the validation of RAML.

Jamming attacks have been recently studied as wireless security threats disrupting reliable RF communication in a wireless network. Recently, spread spectrum techniques have been proposed as promising countermeasures to avoid the jamming attacks. However, these solutions require a secure pre-key establishment phase before data transmission, which takes considerable time and thus provides limited functionality. In order to solve the problem, this paper proposes a novel Frequency Quorum Rendezvous (FQR) scheme. Nodes hop over random frequencies independently during the phase, supporting anti-jamming communications. By using a quorum system, nodes are guaranteed to meet, which could reduce time latency. The authors validate the proposed scheme via extensive simulations.

The four colors of four haiku seasons
The five colors of Buddhism
. Colors and Haiku.
According to Henry Dreyfus, Japanese, in contrast with Westerners, grasp colors on an intuitively horizontal plane, and pay little heed to the influences of light. Colors whether intense of soft, are identified not so much on the basis of reflected light or shadow,
but in terms of the meaning or feeling associated with them.
The adjectives used to describe colors, like iki (sophisticated or chic), shibui (subdued or restrained), or hannari (gay or mirthful), tend to be those that stress feelings rather than the values of colors in relation to each other.
According to Henry Dreyfus, Black, sumi, is the color of mystery and solemnity; the color of the night. Black expresses the depths of the unknown, and encourages the imagination of a different world from that of daylight realities. Used by itself, black can represent bad luck or misfortune.
According to Henry Dreyfus, indigo blue, ai, mirrors the color of the vast ocean surrounding the Japanese islands. This shade of blue is very commonly seen in Japanese art and clothing.
According to Henry Dreyfus, gold, kin, can evoke the sensation of looking upon waving fields of ripened rice stalks. Gold is also associated with royalty. It represents the color of the heavens, and is used to decorate statues of the Buddha and religious temples.
According to Henry Dreyfus, green, midori is regarded as the color of eternal life, as seen in evergreens which never change their color from season to season. In the word midori, both trees and vegetation are implied. One characteristic of Japanese culture can be found in the fusion of life and nature.
According to Henry Dreyfus, the word for red and white, Kohaku, is pronounced as one word in Japanese. Ko means red, while haku translates as white. Their use together immediately signifies happiness and celebration to the Japanese viewer. The combination of red and white in the decorative ornaments used on wedding or engagement presents -noshi or kaishihas a compelling quality that suggests man's urge to create a bond between his own life and that of the gods. Red and white are also the colors of the uniforms that shrine maidens wear (denoting these colors divine nature.)

The Nature of Rikyu Grey

Things found on the way
The Japan Architect, June 1979
If one is going to name a certain sensation, formulate an outline of its features, trace its history or search for the origin of that sensation, it must inspire a profound sympathy yet awake a certain critical awareness. For me, such a sensation is "Rikyu grey." The sensation of Rikyu grey represents an aesthetic of an ambivalent or multiple meaning.
Grey was generally considered a vile color conjuring up images of rats or ashes and had never been popular. But when it became known as Rikyu grey, it was better appreciated; in the latter part of the Edo period (_PHONE_) it gained tremendous popularity, along with brown and indigo (navy) blue, at the embodiment of the aesthetic ideal of iki. Iki in this period is a complex concept but may be simply described as "richness in sobriety."
As the cult of tea spread beyond the upper classes to be practiced in the homes of ordinary people, so did the taste for this grey color. People took pleasure in naming all manner of colors containing the element of charcoal grey such as Fukagawa grey, silver grey, indigo grey, reddish grey, lavender grey, grape grey, brown grey, dove grey and lentil grey. When various colors are mixed until no trace of any specific color remains, it is called simply "grey." All these colors have chromas of very low intensity and their subtle differences of tone had great appeal in that period. This taste in colors prevailed throughout Edo culture from the Genroku period beginning in 1688 and continuing throughout the eighteenth century.

Petty Knives Australia
Petty knives refer to small Japanese utility knives that are used for delicate or intricate work in the kitchen such as peeling or cutting small vegetables, herbs and fruits.
The Petty knife is the Japanese take on the western paring knife. It is also treated as a Japanese utility knife. In Japanese, the Petty knife is simply transliterated as 'Petti Naifu' in a nod to its Western provenance. It is a highly versatile knife that you can put into multiple uses in the kitchen. The Petty knife is generally larger than the western paring knife but it is smaller than the Japanese chef's knife, gyuto, and the western chef's knife.
It is a very convenient utility knife to have in your kitchen. They are small knives with lengths typically varying from 80mm to 180mm. The most common lengths for Petty knives are usually in the range of 120-150mm. As a multi-purpose utility knife, you can put the Petti Naifu into a number of uses. It can be used on vegetables, herbs, fish, chicken, and fruits. Here is a rundown of some of the most common questions that users typically ask about the Petty knife.
What is the Petty Knife?
The Petty Knife or Petti Naifu is a Japanese utility knife or paring knife for handling small and delicate tasks in the kitchen. It is smaller than the Gyuto and the Western chef's knife. In fact, some chefs treat the Petty knife as a smaller Gyuto knife. The knives derive their 'Petty' name from the French word 'petit' which means 'small' or 'little'.
In the kitchen, you can use this versatile multipurpose knife as an all-rounder to do all kinds of small kitchen tasks such as slicing, peeling, dicing, and mincing. You can also use Petty knives for trimming and peeling various small fruits as well as to cut herbs, vegetables, proteins, and garnishes.
Where does the Petty Knife Fit in Your Kitchen?
The Petty Knife is a utility knife so you can put it into a wide variety of small kitchen tasks thanks to its versatility and compact size. If you are looking for a reliable utility knife or a paring knife, you won't go wrong with the Petty knife.
How long is the Petty Knife?
The sizes of the Petty knives vary widely. The lengths of these Japanese utility knives range from 80mm to 180mm. The most common sizes for Petty knives which are suitable for most users lie in the range 120mm to 150mm and 80mm to 90mm clusters. The length of the blade that you choose will depend on what you want to use the knife for. If you are looking for a Petty knife for use in peeling smaller fruits and vegetables in your hand or doing some fine and intricate tip work on your chopping board, then size of 80 to 90mm would suffice.
If you have smaller hands and find the Gyuto knives unwieldy, you can use a larger Petty knife of sizes ranging from 120mm to 150mm as an alternative to the gyuto knife, an all-rounder for cutting everything from fish to boneless meat, vegetables, herbs, and fruits. The 120mm to 150mm Petty knives will also come in handy if you have a smaller workspace in your kitchen.
What is the typical spine width of the Petty Knife?
Like the other Japanese chef's knives, petty knives have thicker spines that taper off towards the edge. Typical spine widths can be 1.5mm which will taper off midway to the tip and is finally thinnest at the tip. Small spine thickness is particularly important in Petty knives as a thicker spine will feel dull when you are using this utility knife in tasks such as peeling fruits since more metal has to be pulled through the fruit being cut or peeled when the spine is thicker. You would want a slim spine width of at most 1.3mm or less to get the most efficient cuts with your Petty knife.
What is the blade profile of the Petty Knife like
The Petty knife shares a similar blade profile to the Gyuto chef's knife. It is no wonder that it is often regarded as a smaller version of the gyuto. The heel is taller and flatter and there is a slight curve towards the front edge of the blade that leads to the knife's pointed tip. The flatter heel of the Petty knife will suit different kinds of chopping styles including thrust-cutting. Their slight belly leading to the blade's tip can be used for fine rock-cutting actions. You can also make delicate cuts with the Petty knife's pointed tip.
What is the Petty Knife Best Suited for/What Does it Cut?
Like other utility knives, Petty knives are better suited for doing the smaller tasks in the kitchen like slicing or dicing your fruits and vegetables as well as herbs. You can also use them to do some light butchery work or to make the delicate and precision cuts.
The particular use-case will depend on the length of the Petty knife. The cluster of shorter Petty knives have lengths ranging from 80mm to 90mm and are perfect for peeling or paring your fruits and vegetables in hand. These shorter utility knives are also suited for off-board cutting as well as for making the fine and precise cuts on your chopping board like slicing herbs, garnishes, or brunoise cuts.
The larger cluster of Petty knives lies in the size range of 120mm to 150mm. It is in these slightly longer blade lengths where these knives are most versatile. Some professional chefs and home cooks regard these Japanese Knives as a miniature Gyuto chef's knives. Like the gyuto knives, the larger knives are multi-use knives that you can apply on different kinds of produce. They come in handy in tasks like filleting small fish, trimming meat, or to cut and dice fruits and vegetables. Petty knives can also be used for light butchery work. You will need Petty knives in a kitchen where there is little space and the knife's small and compact size will take up little space on your board and still provide you with a versatile knife that you can use on a variety of tasks.
What is the Petty Knife Not Suited For?
These are obviously small and delicate knives and are not suited for heavy-duty work in the kitchen. For that, you will need bigger kitchen knives.
What is the Petty Knife's Core Strengths?
The Petty knife is a versatile kitchen workhorse that is preferred by many line cooks working in professional kitchens due to its versatility and its small compact size.
Who Should Use the Petty Knife/Who Does this Knife Match/Does it Suit You?
Petty knives can be used by professional chefs looking for versatile utility knives or paring knives that are compact, sharp, and relatively lightweight. Petty knives take very little space and are generally used by line cooks and chefs in professional kitchens who leverage their versatility to perform various kitchen tasks.
Petty knives will work best for chefs and home cooks who: -
 - Have limited workspace
 - Need a smaller utility knife or paring knife which they can promptly use where the Western chef's knife or a gyuto knife would be unwieldy.
 - Have smaller hands and want a smaller and lightweight alternative to gyuto knives.

If you think the dating world is tough for a human, consider for a moment the Nopoli rock-climbing goby of Hawaii, which scales waterfalls up to 100 feet high in order to breed. To put this feat in perspective, itâ€™s the equivalent of a man of average height scaling the 29,029 feet of Mount Everest!
The process leading to this incredible feat is, quite literally, jaw-dropping: the tiny one-inch goby propels itself up the waterfall rocks with two suckers â€" one, common to all gobies, on the belly, and a second, particular to one goby genus, that develops when the mouth migrates from the tip of its head to its chin over the course of 36 to 48 hours, before it embarks on its journey. The fish uses these dual suckers alternately to inch up the rocky substrate of waterfalls to the waters above where the goby mates and deposits eggs in streams. Upon hatching, these juvenile gobies are swept into the ocean where they develop for several months before they return to freshwater streams and pools upstream where they may live for several years. To mate, the gobies of this new generation must repeat the waterfall-climbing process themselves.

Difference between revisions of "Ditto (Pokémon)"
45 bytes added, 19:17, 5 June 2011
(→In the anime: not sure where to put this)
Also in [[Generation I]], any Pokémon that uses Transform is regarded as a Ditto in its new form; this means that if the player catches a {{p|Mew}} or a Glitch Pokémon which has used the move Transform instead they will obtain a Ditto because a wild {{p|Mew}} cannot be legitimately encountered. This system was later changed in [[Generation III]] so that the {{p|Mew}} on [[Faraway Island]] is not caught as Ditto if it uses Transform.
By exploiting the factors that determine a [[shiny Pokémon]], a shiny Ditto can be obtained by trading the [[red Gyarados]] to Generation I and capturing a Ditto that transforms into it. A similar glitch occurs if a regular Ditto is made to transform into a shiny Ditto in Generation II. For more on this, see [[shiny ditto clitch]]
Several more glitches involving Ditto's transformation have been discovered in [[Generation IV]] as well. In the original Japanese {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, due to an oversight in the programming of Transform, a Ditto will copy the Pokémon's [[held item]] in addition to its species, allowing rare items to be duplicated. Another glitch allows for Ditto to transform and then permanently keep the moveset of the Pokémon it became, allowing for the passing down of previously impossible [[egg move]] combinations in a large-scale version of {{p|Smeargle}}'s ability to do so with all {{egg2|Ground}} Pokémon through {{m|Sketch}}.

AEM target detection in geological noise
Andy Green and Don Hunter
ASEG Extended Abstracts
2004(1) 1 - 4
Target selection and ranking is a critical aspect of mineral exploration that is complicated when the host geology either masks or mimics the responses from targets of interest. The approach described here uses statistical signal processing techniques, specifically matched filtering, to help recognise targets in the presence of such confusing effects. The essence of this approach is to assume that the data are composed of noise, generated by the background geology, and signals generated by targets of exploration interest. It is this recognition of the geology as a noise source, which allows traditional signal processing strategies to be applied to the problem. The critical step, absolutely necessary to success, involves pre-whitening the data so that those characteristics of the target that are as different as possible from this ''geological noise' are emphasised. Matched filtering is a well-established technique in fields other than mineral exploration. Work here has shown that, in many instances, it can also be applied successfully to AEM data. It provides a useful way of highlighting targets for further investigation by simplifying the interpretation process and filtering out many complex anomalies that are not feasible targets. This paper presents some of the necessary theory and the results of a number of case studies where the technique has been applied.

Climbing our aerial adventure park is an extremely safe activity as long as all of the Course Rules are followed. All climbers must follow the safety instructions from our expert park monitors and guides.
TreeHoppers set the gold standard for aerial adventure park course construction and management in Central Florida, with the following:
- Our course was engineered to adhere to all industry standards for maximum loads and forces.
- TreeHoppers was constructed by an expert team of fabricators, meeting or exceeding industry standard construction.
- Each of our park monitors and guides receive a rigorous, ACCT-derived training program to fully prepare them for any scenario they may encounter.
- Daily inspections of both aerial and ground elements take place before a single customer climbs in the park.
- Climbing harnesses are provided to each participant. These are the same types of harnesses used by professional climbers throughout the world. Each customer is personally fitted by our expert park monitors and guides to ensure a snug, safe fit.
- We use the proprietary Bornack safety lanyards with all of our climbing harnesses. While the cost of this safety system is several times more than what some of our competitors use, it is a nearly error proof system that even small children can use with ease. Simply put, the system is nearly impossible to unhook the Bornack safety lanyard from our lifeline cable system, even if attempted intentionally.
Trust TreeHoppers for a safe, adventurous day of fun!


text: The transverse dimensions of pulp fibres influence strongly their response to the papermaking process, and most end-use properties of products. However, fibre transverse dimensions are difficult to measure. Confocal microscopy combined with image analysis has been used for rapid and accurate measurement of fibre wall cross-sectional area,perimeter, and thickness. Results on kraft pulp fibres obtained from a variety of wood species are presented. They demonstrate how fibre transverse dimensions are distributed within a species, and can be described analytically. Comparison between different species shows that species with coarse or thick-walled fibres are likely to be more heterogeneous. Implications for pulp quality and fibre selection for end-use requirements are discussed.

Importing files from local storage in PSLab Android application
This blog demonstrates how a user can import log files from local storage to the PSLab Android application for various instruments and play them. This functionality is really useful as users can share their log files and import them in their app. This blog mostly consists of my work in the PSLab Android repository.
How to access local storage files?
We here use the concept of implicit intent to access the local storage of the device and then generate the file from the received data URI.
Implicit intents differ from explicit intents in a way that, they don't give exact class or activity to be initialized through the intent, instead they provide the action to be performed and the class or activities are selected implicitly from the required action
The code block is shown below.
private void selectFile() {
 Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
 startActivityForResult(intent, 100);
Here the Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT defines implicit intent. This intent opens the activity related to the action of GETTING CONTENT. The type of content is specified in the Intent.setType(). Since here the type is set to "*/*", it will open all types of files. If we want only images we can set Type to "images".
startActivityForResult(intent, ) starts the file selection activity.
How to generate a file from received URI?
Once the user selects a file from the file selection activity we can generate the selected file from the data passed in the callback function of startActivityForResult(). The data intent passed as a parameter to onActivityResult() callback contains data for the selected file. We can retrieve path, name, etc details of the selected file from this data intent. The code block for the same is given below.
 protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, _USER_ Intent data) {
 if (requestCode == 100) {
 if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
 Uri uri = data.getData();
 String path = uri.getPath();
 path = path.replace("/root_path/", "/");
 File file = new File(path);
 else Toast.makeText(this, this.getResources().getString(R.string.no_file_selected), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Here we check for the requestCode, which we passed when calling the startActivityForResult() function. We further check if the result is valid and then generate the file from the file path we received in the data Intent. Once we get the path we can get the selected file using the following lines of code:
String path = uri.getPath();
File file = new File(path);
How to get Data from the file?
Once the file is generated, it is passed to a function getFileData(File file) to get data in the file to add to the logs of the selected device. The main part of the getFileData function is given below.
FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
String line = reader.readLine();
int i = 0;
long block = 0, time = 0;
while (line!= null) {
 if (i!= 0) {
 String[] data = line.split(",");
 try {
 time += 1000;
 BaroData baroData = new BaroData(time, block, Float.valueOf(data[2]), Double.valueOf(data[3]), Double.valueOf(data[4]));
 } catch (Exception e) {
 Toast.makeText(this, getResources().getString(R.string.incorrect_import_format), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
 line = reader.readLine();
Here we read the file line by line and convert the CSV data into the object of the selected device. And then this data is added to app storage using the realm. As shown in the code block above, we are parsing the data to the BarometerData class instances. We split each line by "," and then use each field as input to the constructor of the BarometerData class. Once we create the instances of the class, we add them to the realm, so the imported file is saved in the realm and now we can access it easily from DataLoggerActivity.
The following images demonstrate the functionality of Import log
Step 1: Select Import Log menu from
(Figure 1: Import Log menu)
Step 2: Select the file to be imported from the local storage
(Figure 2: Files to import from Local storage)
Step 3: Play the imported log from the DataLoggerActivity

Examples of how AsyncTask is used in PSLab Android App
In this blog, we will look at a very useful and important feature provided by Android – AsyncTask and more importantly how AsyncTasks have been put to use for various functionalities throughout the PSLab Android Project
What are Threads?
Threads are basically paths of sequential execution within a process. In a way, threads are lightweight processes. A process may contain more than one threads and all these threads are executed in parallel. Such a method is called "Multithreading". Multithreading is very useful when some long tasks need to be executed in the background while other tasks continue to execute in the foreground.
Android has the main UI thread which works continuously and interacts with a user to display text, images, listen for click and touch, receive keyboard inputs and many more. This thread needs to run without any interruption to have a seamless user experience.
When AsyncTask comes into the picture?
In PSLab Android application, we communicate with PSLab hardware through I/O(USB) interface. We connect the PSLab board with the mobile and request and wait for data such as voltage values and signal samples and once the data is received we display it as per requirements. Now clearly we can't run this whole process on the main thread because it might take a long time to finish and because of that other UI tasks would be delayed which eventually degrade the user experience. So, to overcome this situation, we use AsyncTasks to handle communication with PSLab hardware.
Methods of AsyncTask
AsyncTask is an Abstract class and must be subclassed to use. Following are the methods of the AsyncTask:
 - onPreExecute()
 - Used to set up the class before the actual execution
 - doInBackground(Params…)
 - This method must be overridden to use AsyncTask. This method contains the main part of the task to be executed. Like the network call etc.
 - The result from this method is passed as a parameter to onPostExecute() method
 - onProgressUpdate(Progress…)
 - This method is used to display the progress of the AsyncTask
 - onPostExecute(Result)
 - Called when the task is finished and receives the results from the doInBackground() method
There are 3 generic types passed to the definition of the AsyncTask while inheriting. The three types in order are
 1. Params: Used to pass some parameters to doInBackground(Params…) method of the Task
 2. Progress: Defines the units in which the progress needs to be displayed/
 3. Result : Defines the data type to be returned from onInBackground() and receive as a parameter in the onPostExecute(Result) method
Example of the usage of the AsyncClass is as under :
private class SampleTask extends AsyncTask {
 protected Result doInBackground(Params... params) {
 // The main code goes here
 return result;
 protected void onProgressUpdate(Progress... progress) {
 // display the progress
 protected void onPostExecute(Result result) {
 // display the result
We can create an instance of this class as under and execute it.
SampleTask sampleTask = new SampleTask();
We can cancel a running class by calling the task.cancel() function
AsyncTask in PSLab Android Application
As mentioned earlier some task which takes a lot of time, can't be executed on the main thread. Hence in such cases AsyncTask is used. We will look into some examples where AsyncTask has been put to use in PSLab Android Application
Delete All Logs:
In the DataLoggerActivity, user has an option to delete all the logs that have been saved on the local storage. Now there might be a lot number of log files that needs to be deleted. Hence it is better to use AsyncTask for these. The code snippet for this is below,
private class DeleteAllTask extends AsyncTask {
 protected Void doInBackground(Void... voids) {
 Realm realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
 for (SensorDataBlock data : realm.where(SensorDataBlock.class)
 .findAll()) {
 File logDirectory = new File(
 Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() +
 File.separator + CSVLogger.CSV_DIRECTORY +
 File.separator + data.getSensorType() +
 File.separator +

I'd like to have the same keyboard shortcuts in all the terminals I use. Since they don't have the same *nix on them, and since terminals can be very different, I'm looking for a reasonably portable way to get keyboard shortcuts from one *nix terminal (at least supported by a standard Ubuntu 12.04 installation) to other terminals (Bash only).
That is, I'm trying to generate commands in one terminal to execute on another terminal, in order to use the same keyboard shortcuts in the second terminal. Especially things like Alt-Del (delete the word to the right of the cursor) and Ctrl-Left (move the cursor one word to the left), which on some hosts I work on simply prints the escape code instead of performing the expected actions.
This is also meant as a precursor to possibly changing the
.inputrc on the target host. The important points are to be able to
- Figure out which keyboard shortcuts are defined on my local host.
- Figure out whether any commonly used shortcuts are not defined from the remote host.
- Copy the shortcut definitions to the remote host.
- Verify that the shortcuts work as expected on the remote host.
- Be reasonably sure that the shortcuts would also work on a third host, possibly with very old versions of Bash and standard tools like

I saw this in a lesson:
In this context, refers to islands, as in "Will you go to all of them [the islands]?" But, when I hear that my brain thinks refers to the subject, as in "Will all of you go?"
Could refer to both the subject and the object, depending on context? How would one translate, "Will all of you go to all of them?"?
share|improve this question
For the last one you can try this: "你们每一个都会去所有的岛屿吗？" (Will everyone of you visit all of the islands?) – 杨以轩 Dec 5 '13 at 8:27
4 Answers 4
Yes, 都 can refer to either subject or objects.
 1. When subject is plural, 都 refer to "all" of the subject.
 For example:
 你们都来嘛？Are all of you coming?
 同学们都交按时交了作业。 All of the students in the class handed in their homework in time.
 2. When subject is single, and object is plural, then 都 refers to "all" of the object.
 For example:
 你把糖果都吃了？ Did you eat all of the candy?
 这些衣服你都买吗 ？ Are you going to buy all of those clothes?
 那些岛屿你都会去吗？Will you (single) go to all of the islands?
 3. When both subject and object are plural, if only using 都, it is ambiguous as we don't know if it refers to the subject or object or both. So we either need to draw more info from the context, or if no context, we will have to ask the speaker to clarify on this.
 For example:
 那些岛屿你们都会去吗？Will (all of?)you (plural) go to (all of?) the islands?
 When we mean all of the subject AND all of the object, then we will have to use TWO words meaning "all" (所有/全部/都/全/全都) together.
 For example:
 你们都交了全部的作业嘛？ Did all of you guys hand in all the homework?
 你们都会去所有的那些岛屿吗？Will all of you (plural) go to all of the islands?
 But sometimes it is still ambiguous even we use TWO such words.
 For exmaple:
 In this sentence, 所有 refers to the islands for sure, no doubt about it. But 都 may refer to either object or subject. So we still need to ask the speaker to clarify on it.
 For this sentence, if there is no context, and we are not able to ask the speaker to clarify, then my intuition of interpreting this sentence is that both 所有 and 都 refer to islands.
Conclusion: The things 都 refers to are somehow impacted by the sentence structure.
share|improve this answer
As mentioned previously, 都 simply means 'all', and what it really refers to purely depends on the context.
In this example sentence, the singular form of 'you' (你) is used, and 'all of you (singular)' does not make much sense. So it would not be usually understood this way. The interpretation that makes the most sense would be:
"Will you go to all?"
However, there is another interpretation: 都 can be understood as 'even' sometimes. So this sentence, without any context, can be also interpreted as
"Even you will go?"
Note that in speaking, the first and second interpretations can be distinguished by stressing on different syllables (on 都 for the first, and on 你 for the second), but there is no way to tell when it is written out if no context is provided.
I would not normally interpret this sentence as 'Will you also go'. The more common way to say the latter (at least in most parts of mainland China) is '你**会去吗?' However, my observation is that people from Hong Kong tend to use '都' when they really mean the Mandarin '也'(too, also), AND VICE VERSA. So, this sentence may be understood as 'Will you also go' in Hong Kong (correct me if I am wrong), but less likely in Mainland China.

+1. Before reading the rest of the question, I instantly read, "你都会去吗？" as "Will even you be going?". – Janus Bahs Jacquet Dec 6 '13 at 14:39
From what i read from the text i would translate it as: "Will you also go?"
"Will all of you" I would translate as 你們都會
So "Will all of you go to all of them" 你們都會去全部嗎？
share|improve this answer
So adding 你們 effectively changes the context of, so that a whole new grammar pattern needs to used when referring to objects? – Ken Oh Dec 4 '13 at 14:11
We distinguish thou and you in Chinese, so that it is not possible here for 都 to be you all, as you here is singular.

The grounds of the Paul Revere House, Boston's oldest building and a historic Colonial landmark, are getting an examination. But there will be no probing; the procedure is noninvasive.
Using a technology called ground penetrating radar, Allen Gontz, an assistant professor of environmental, earth, and ocean sciences at the University of Massachusetts at Boston, began a series of soil tests at the North End site on Tuesday. He is looking for gas lines, water pipes, and deep features like wells, privies, and previous foundations.
Gontz's data will help guide the Paul Revere Memorial Association as it plans the renovation of nearby Lathrop Place, a parcel and two-family house built in 1835.
"It's just an added dimension, additional information that can be considered when planning," said Ellen Burkland, the city archeologist at the mayor's office who has assisted with the project and collaborated with Gontz in the past. The Revere Association plans to renovate the Lathrop Place house for educational programs.
On Wednesday, Gontz and a few of his graduate students were creating a grid of the property. The GPR, a device that looks like a radio-controlled car, crept over the courtyard bricks, taking measurements using electromagnetic radar waves that it shoots into the ground.
"What we are looking for is historical and cultural objects or remnants," he said. "With an idea of any building that would have been standing, we can build a model.... It could help develop a better understanding of what Boston would have looked like during the Revolutionary War."

Gingergrass essential oil, distilled from the aromatic and herbaceous grass Cymbopogon martini var. sofia, is a close sibling species of Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martini var. motia). In other words, these two oils are oils are distilled from two different varieties of the exact same plant species. Where their natural habitats do overlap spontaneous hybrids of the two sibling species are common.
As might be expected, the two oils have very similar profiles regarding their clinical use in both herbal medicine and aromatherapy. However, there are various subtle differences between the two plants. Here are some of these:
- Gingergras is tetraploid and palmarosa is diploid. While a tetraploid organism has four sets of chromosomes, a diploid organism features two sets of chromosomes (one set from the female parent and another set from the male parent).
- The two varieties seldom grow in proximity to each other and are usually found at different altitudes (gingergrass prefers lower altitudes) and in different environments. While palmarosa prefers sunny mountain slopes, forest clearings and dry, well-drained soil, gingergrass is found primarily in humid, low altitude valleys and forests which are well-watered by frequent fog and a high annual rainfall. Thus, while the palmarosa type is better for a dry environment, the gingergrass type is better for one with higher humidity.
- Palmarosa grows in scattered patches in a dry and sunny habitat. Gingergrass grows in dense masses in a wetter and less sunny habitat.
- Gingergrass essential oil has a geraniol content up to 65%. Palmarosa oil has a geraniol content of up to 95%.
- When an inflorescence leaf (an inflorescence is the part of a plant that consists of a flower-bearing stalk or series of branches) of each species is moved from base to tip between ones fingers, while the gingergrass leaf feels rough and sticky, the palmarosa leaf feels smooth and clean.
Spiritual PhytoEssencing (SPE) is not a clinical practice. Rather it employs essential oils for the purpose of deep soul-level healing. All of these differences between gingergrass and palmarosa serve as plant signatures that help highlight differences between the gingergrassand palmarosa-type individuals (i.e., between individuals who have a deep constitutional affinity for one or the other oil). In this article I will limit my discussion to expanding understanding of the inner nature of these two oils via their gemstone synchronicities.
Carl Jung coined the term "synchronicity," referring to thoughts and events that are connected in ways other than causally (i.e., by the law of cause and effect). In Carl Jung: Wounded Healer Of The Soul, Clair Dunne writes: "Jung called synchronicity 'acausal [without rationally explicable cause] orderedness', a principle not contradicting the scientific time, space, and causality modes of Western thinking, but rather a complementary addition to it…Synchronicities are hard to verify objectively, but they are subjectively very meaningful."
In the classic example from his own work, Jung, while listening to a patient recount a dream about a scarab (a type of beetle), heard a light tapping on his office window. When he went to investigate the sound, he saw a brilliantly colored beetle just outside the window. This uncanny coincidence made him wonder about the meaning of such "synchronicities." In SPE synchronicities play a major role in my elaboration of the unique soul-nature of each essential oil.
Synchronicities, unlike scientifically observed phenomena, cannot be definitively explained via the laws of the space-time dimension. Instead, they emerge from the domain of spirit and collective consciousness. Their value in healing work can only be demonstrated through practical application.
Thus far, I have identified more than 70 synchronicities between specific essential oils and gemstones. These synchronicities play an important role in many of the chapters I have written for Berkowsky's Synthesis Materia Medica of Essential Oils. Gemstone synchronicities play an especially crucial role in the differentiation between palmarosa oil and gingergrass oil.
Plants, like human beings and all other animals, are alive and everything that is alive is ensouled. In the same way, that one cannot really know another person without developing relation with his or her authentic self (that aspect of the self-structure which has never disengaged from spirit), one cannot truly know an essential oil without developing soul-to-soul relation with its innermost realm. This cannot be achieved solely through study of the biochemical profile and therapeutic actions of an oil as these are archetypal images (tangible manifestations of an underlying non-material archetype) that represent just a fraction of the complex archetypal fabric of the oil.
An essential oil is the most concentrated carrier of the soul of the plant. Thus, to truly know an oil, we must endeavor to reveal to our conscious awareness the unique archetypal pattern within its soul structure. In Spiritual PhytoEssencing, this is accomplished through the identification, and subsequent inter-correlation, of synchronicities including essential oil/gemstone correspondences.
I have been in practice for close to 40 years and gemstones and gemstone elixirs have always been a part of that. My relationship with stones actually began much earlier when I was still in elementary school. In 4th grade I became a serious rock collector and spent many a Sunday afternoon in the gemstone gallery of Manhattan's American Museum of Natural History. I still have my boyhood rock collection and occasionally use some of those stones in my work.
The process of identifying a particular essential oil/gemstone synchronicity is a complex one that incorporates not just logical thought-driven research but also connection to spirit. The integrated operations of the four windows of knowing (sensing, feeling, thinking and connection to spirit) are required both to sustain cosmic consciousness (higher consciousness associated with the process of connecting one's inner spiritual self with the entire being of the natural universe) as well as the process of soul embodiment and the ongoing primacy of the real self in everyday consciousness. To be truly effective, any practitioner who aspires to soul-level healing work must ultimately be guided by spirit. This is a complex topic which is beyond the scope of this article. However, I will discuss it during the blending portion of the SPE/NHSS membership program.
Both gingergrass and palmarosa have an affinity for topaz in general. However, while gingergrass' most specific affinity is earthy brown topaz, palmarosa's is for heart-centered pink topaz.
The word topaz derives from the Sanskrit words nama tapas, meaning fire. The ancient Egyptians held that the topaz gained its color from the golden glow of their sun god Ra. This power was thought to make topaz amulets very powerful protectors against harm. Also, the Romans associated topaz with their sun god, Jupiter. Interestingly, the ultraviolet rays of sunlight displace electrons within the color centers in a topaz crystal and cause it to change color. Despite this alignment with the sun, mystics believe that the gemstone's protective and curative powers waxed and waned in accordance with the phases of the moon.
In terms of the chakras, topaz specifically helps draw off negativity from, and clear energy blockages in, the solar plexus (3rd), third eye (6th) and crown (7th) chakras. However, it essentially impacts all the activities of all the chakras. Topaz helps one let go of restrictive thought patterns and allow one to become more open, relaxed and amenable to listen to the input of others and to expand one's perspectives.
Gingergrass is associated with brown topaz. In general, the color brown, the color of soil, wood and various stones such as sandstone is associated with connection to Earth, nurturing, comfort, fertility, stability, grounding, security, wholesomeness, dependability, orderliness, the feeling of belonging and fitting in, steadfastness, simplicity and sound health.
Brown gemstones in general are associated with the themes of connection to the natural world, centering, grounding, comfort, nurturing, organization, order as opposed to chaos, decisiveness and Earth energy. Brown topaz encourages optimal choices based upon discernment and refinement. In this way, it can help reduces distrust, uncertainty and doubt, especially self-doubt. This gemstone builds inner strength and stability, self-confidence and commitment. It also supports stronger devotion in love and the capacity for developing lasting friendships.
Brown topaz may prove of good service for those who tend to be closed and distrust life. It is thought to have potential value in the treatment of agitation, restlessness, agoraphobia, timidity, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Via its supports of Chakra 1 (Root chakra), brown topaz increases inner strength, motivation and reduces feelings of insecurity. Sometimes referred to as the "Earth gem" it can provide unique benefit to farmers, gardeners, those who work with animals and conservationists.
Palmarosa oil is associated with pink topaz. On a psycho-spiritual level pink, the color associated with the energy of kindness and unconditional love pacifies and calms and so can be used to ameliorate anger aggression, irritation, over-sensitivity and feelings of neglect and otherwise promote emotional comfort and healing. As pink has been found to have a tranquilizing effect upon those prone to aggression and violence, it is often the paint color of choice in prisons, mental institutions, hospitals, and drug rehabilitation centers (it may help reduce the anxiety and suffering associated with withdrawal


How Does CC Work?
Correspondence Chess
US Chess Correspondence Chess (CC) is a great way to improve your game and have fun. You don't even have to leave home! You can play CC either by sending moves through the post office or through an electronic network. Since the majority of newcomers to CC choose to play by mail, let's concentrate on explaining how that format works.
US Chess correspondence play requires the use of algebraic notation (AN), unless you and your opponent agree to another form. AN is easy to learn, simple to use, and useful for enjoying chess columns and chess books. If you don't already know AN or need to brush up, click here.
As a newcomer, you must indicate on the tournament entry form your approximate playing strength. This enables us to pair you approximately with your opponents. Four rating levels are available. Class A: very strong; Class B: strong; Class C: Intermediate; and Class D: Novice. If you just learned how to play chess, you are considered a Novice. If you know how to play and write notation and are familiar with all aspects of the game, we suggest Class C.
When you receive your pairing sheet (as described below), regardless of which Class you noted, your rating will appear as "0000," When your first game is finished, we calculate your rating based on your result. If you're interested in the details of how the CC rating formula works, see our Correspondence Chess Ratings Explanation.
You now have a chess rating! Each Correspondence Chess game is rated as soon as it's finished. You may wish to enter more CC events, so having a chess rating will be helpful in matching you with new opponents.
As explained in the ratings explanation page, there are two rating formulas. If you have 25 or fewer games rated, you have a provisional rating. If you have more than 25 games rated, you have an established rating. Master level is achieved through performance.
You choose which event you wish to enter. You can play against one opponent, three opponents, or even six opponents. Tournament entry fees vary depending on the tournament format and the prizes involved.
For example, let's assume you're already a US Chess member and you want to enter a Class Tournament in which you play against three opponents. (That's the maximum we recommend for beginners.) Once you submit your entry fee (currently $10), we pair you with three other players with the same playing strength, according to the approximate strength you indicated on your entry form.
All four of you are sent a copy of the same pairing sheet. Players are given numbers 1 through 4, and playing assignments are noted accordingly. The pairing sheet includes the name and addresses of your three opponents, as well as a tournament crosstable (explanation below). You will play a total of six games -- two against each of your three opponents, once as White and once as Black. After receiving the pairing sheet, note what player number you are assigned. Refer to the pairing chart and see whether or not you have to mail your first White moves to any of your opponents.
It's possible that you are assigned Black for all three first games. In that case, wait to receive a White move for Game A from your three opponents. After you receive each opponent's first White move, respond with your Black move. At the same time, send your first White move for Game B on the same postcard. After the first moves have been exchanged, you will be sending two moves each time; one move for Game A and another for Game B.
Along with your pairing sheet, you will receive information regarding CC rules, chess notation, rating calculation, and game-result reporting slips.
Please read the rule booklet as soon as you receive the pairing sheet. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Alex Dunne, US Chess Correspondence Chess Director, PO Box 367, Sayre, PA 18840 or email Alex at: [email protected].
If you are asking, "How do we keep track of time?" -- it's easy. We allow 30 days of reflection time to make every 10 moves. Unused time can be carried forward to the next 10-move series, which allows you plenty of time later in the game when you want to ponder a position!
If you receive a move from your opponent today and you get your reply move postmarked the same day, you used zero days of reflection time. If your reply is posted the next day, you used one day, etc.
Move-mailing postcards are also highly recommended*. You can record moves for several games. Fill in the information blanks for each move transmission, and the other information that we require be sent with each move. A blank diagram is printed on the reverse side of the card. (You don't have to diagram the position with each move transmission, however.)
Example: Today's date is 9/6/06. The section number is 06CD101. If you're sending your first move as White, you wouldn't have a card from your opponent. Thus, you won't be noting any postmark. "Received date" is the date you received the tournament pairing sheet/opponent's move. If you receive and sent your reply move on the same day and your postmark is also the same date, your reflection time is zero days. Let's say your reply date is 9/7/06. "My time," meaning your reflection time used on the move, would be one day -- provided you receive a postmark date of 9/7/06. Your total time would be one day, since this is move 1. "Your time" refers to the reflection time your opponent used. Since this is move 1 of Game A, there's no need to fill in these blanks. (However, if you were on move 2, you would have to give an account of what your opponent's reflection time calculation as of this move.)
Game A: Since you're playing White, your name goes in the blank box above "White" and your opponent's name goes in the blank box above "Black." Below the box labeled "Game A," under "Move no.," write "1." In the next blank box to the right, note your first move; for example "e4." This is all you would send at this time, because you can't send a move for Game B until you receive your opponent's first White move for that game.
You may be asking, "Why so many blank boxes to write just one move for each game?" Once you receive your opponent's move, you're required to note what your opponent's move was, along with your reply. This enables your opponent to be sure you understood and noted his move correctly.
"If" moves are also an option. These are moves you offer based on your opponent's acceptance of certain moves. Newcomers are not advised to use "if" moves.
Once your move-mailing card is filled in, write the names and addresses, put on the correct postage, and pop the card in the mail!
The crosstable allows everyone to keep track of the game results. Since we have discussed Class tournaments, let's continue by filling in a crosstable for a Class tournament. (double-round robin format)
You'll recall that in Class tournaments, you play two games with each opponent.
The top four lines of the crosstable are for Game A results and the lower four lines are for Game B results. Let's say you're player number 2 and you beat player number 1 in both games. Refer to the player numbers to locate the appropriate result boxes in which to write the game result. A win is noted by a "1." A loss is a "0" and a draw is "1/2."
You should now have a better understanding of what CC is, and some idea what items you'll need to purchase to help keep your game records accurately. When you receive your pairing sheet, you will have a better idea who sends the first move to whom! You've also found out how to write chess moves and how to achieve a chess rating.
Well, that about covers it! We suggest you read through all of the information you've received. We're more than happy to answer any questions. Just give us a call! Now, let's play some chess by mail!

text:
Biological distances calculated between archeologically recovered human skeletal collections are often used to assess the effects of temporal and spatial distance on subpopulation divergence. Although there are many previous empirical studies that examine skeletal material arrayed across time and/or space, the theoretical expectations for temporally or spatially related variation in biological characteristics have not been formally developed. In this paper I present the infinite island model, the unidimensional stepping-stone model, and the migration matrix method in forms that allow prediction of the genetic distance between groups separated by a given spatial and temporal lag. These models demonstrate that, if there is isolation by geographic distance, then the correlation between genetic and spatial distance (controlling for temporal distance) should be positive and the correlation between genetic and temporal distance (controlling for spatial distance) should be negative. I use observations of nonmetric traits in a sample of prehistoric crania from west-central Illinois to demonstrate the expected relationships among biological, temporal, and spatial distance. The results indicate that, once the effects of temporal trend are removed, biological and spatial distance are positively correlated and biological and temporal distance negatively correlated within this sample.

x509 certificates for researches and employees at UiO
Researchers and others employed at the University of Oslo in some cases participate in international projects using x509 certificates for authenticating users and giving access to web-sites or services in connection to the projects. This page gives a short explanation of what x509 certificates are and how you can obtain one if needed.
What is an x509 certificate
A certificate is a document that certifies you as a entity within an institution. The certification occurs via a chain of trust mechanism, i.e if the authority that issues the certificate is trustworthy then your certificate is valid). Certificate can be used for signing documents, encrypting and getting authorization (i.e. to browse or use web content and services). UiO's certificates are signed by TERENA authority and follow the x509 standard.
Policy and terms of use
The certificates are considered passwords and must be treated in an accordingly secure way. They must never be shared with others or be stored in such a way that they are made accessible for others.
By using this service you accept to comply with all terms of use of the specific grid/eScience service, including the terms of use for the UiO IT-resources, and in particular the UIO IT-regulations and rules specified in the UiO IT-security handbook.
If your certificate and the associated password in one way or another are made known to any other party, you are obligated to inform UiO IT promptly (_EMAIL_).
If it is made known to us that your use of this service or UiO IT resources are not in compliance with the terms of use or Norwegian law, we will revoke the rights given to you with immediate effect.
Every person with a legally binding relationship with the University of Oslo may obtain a certificate. Certificates are issued for one year, unless the duration of the binding relationship with the UiO is shorter. In the latter case the certificate validity will be adjusted accordingly. After one year the certificate can be renewed provided that you are still qualifying.
Getting an x509 certificate
University of Oslo (UiO) can grant certificates of two types: IGTF compliant grid/eScience and regular. The difference between the two is that grid/eScience can be used for authenticating with scientific computing services. You should ask for grid/eScience (GÉANT IGFT-MICS Personal ) one if you are involved in scientific computing, if not the regular personal certificate will fullfill your needs.
Earlier orders were done through DigiCert (ending April 2020). Now orders are placed via Sectigo.
In order to be able to apply for a certificate through Sectigo you must belong to a specific unix group (usit-fi-x509-personal-user or usit-fi-x509-user). You can check what groups you are member of from the "Brukerinfo" page: _URL_
If you are not member for the usit-fi-x509-personal-user or usit-fi-x509-user group, please send a request to _EMAIL_ or contact Maiken Pedersen (email/mattermost) directly.
Steps to request a certificate from Sectigo web page
 1. At the Sectigo entry page, please select the "Feide" Institution, and not the "FEIDE" one.
Log-in page Sectigo
2. Fill in the Digital Certificate Enrollment according to needs
Image may contain: Text, Product, Font, Line, Screenshot.
You can chose a regular SSL certificate (GÉANT Personal Certificate) a grid/eScience certificate (GÉANT IGTF-MICS Personal) or a Robot Certificate. Set a password if RSA or ECC private key is generated, or upload your CSR. (How to create a CSR - google openssl CSR).
The certificate will be ready at once and be downloaded to your computer (in your Downloads folder). To import it into your browser - follow your browsers procedure to import a certificate.
Converting the certificate to PEM cert/key pair
Sometimes you might need to possess your certificate in the form of PEM files, when one is the public key, and the other is the private key (typically named usercert.pem and userkey.pem). For example, it is needed for the users who use grid/eScience resources directly and need to generate a proxy-certificate for it. The certificate which is installed in your browser by the portal has other format (PKCS12), and comes as a single bundle, with no separation of the public and private parts. To convert it, use the procedure described below with Linux/Mac OS.
1. Export the installed bundle from your browser (or keychain in case of MacOS). The portal should have given your manuals for how to do it upon the certificate generation. Search Internet if you are in doubt, or contact _EMAIL_, if you can't solve it yourself. The export should get you a bundle saved as a local file in pkcs12 format.
Remember that if the export password is left blank, any person who gets a hand on your bundle could use your certificate! Delete the bundle when the conversion is done.
1. Move the pkcs12 certificate from your Downloads folder to a place of your preference.
2. You already have a password for the certificate as the Sectigo page requires this. In command-line interface, go to the directory where your pkcs12-bundle is stored, and run:
openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -in -out userkey.pem
where is the name of your bundle (e.g. certs.p12). It'd ask you first for the import password, and then would ask for the PEM password to your userkey, which you should have decided on already. This would get you a private userkey in userkey.pem file. The PEM password entered is the password for the userkey you should use from now on when manipulating with the key.
3. Now get the public key from the bundle. Run:
openssl pkcs12 -nokeys -clcerts -in -out usercert.pem
where again is the name of your bundle. This would get you a public part in usercert.pem file.
Now you can use your public/private PEM files.
Root certificates
If you get complaints that your certificate is signed not by a trusted authority, install the root certificates of Terena and/or DigiCert in your browser/system. They can be found here.

text: An important risk that children face today is online grooming, where a so-called sexual predator establishes an emotional connection with a minor online with the objective of sexual abuse. Prior work has sought to automatically identify grooming chats, but only after an incidence has already happened in the context of legal prosecution. In this work, we instead investigate this problem from the point of view of prevention. We define and study the task of early sexual predator detection (eSPD) in chats, where the goal is to analyze a running chat from its beginning and predict grooming attempts as early and as accurately as possible. We survey existing datasets and their limitations regarding eSPD, and create a new dataset called PANC for more realistic evaluations. We present strong baselines built on BERT that also reach state-of-the-art results for conventional SPD. Finally, we consider coping with limited computational resources, as real-life applications require eSPD on mobile devices.

The availability of suitable building material was of great importance to Nebraska's pioneer settlers. Here in Jefferson County, native limestone was used for building and the stone was burned in kilns to produce lime for mortar and whitewash. The U.S. Army reportedly operated the first kiln in this area during the 1848 construction of Fort Kearny on the Platte. During the 1870's and 1880's, the limestone industry flourished in Jefferson County and numerous kilns and quarries were located near here.
The limekiln which survives on this site was built in 1874 by Woral C. Smith who had settled in the county the previous year. Much of the limestone from Smith's quarries was used locally, but after the St. Joseph and Denver City Railroad built a siding to the kiln, limestone products were shipped throughout the region. In 1876, Smith constructed the nearby house with limestone from his quarters.
Today, commercial limestone production continues in several areas of Nebraska. Although the old limekilns have largely disappeared, the Smith kiln and limestone house remain as examples of this important pioneer industry.

text: - Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR), including standing spin-wave resonance (SWR) modes, were measured in NiZn ferrite films, which have high permeability even up to the gigahertz range. They were prepared from an aqueous solution by spin spray ferrite plating at 90/spl deg/C. The perpendicular field FMR spectra exhibited SWR modes whose line separation had linear dependence on spin wave number, deviating from the quadratic behavior. This indicated that the films have inhomogeneous distribution of magnetization perpendicular to film plane, and have different magnetic surface anisotropies between the inner and outer surfaces of the respective films. The in-plane field FMR spectra revealed no SWR mode. A possible model is proposed to explain the features not only of the FMR spectra, but also of the initial permeability spectra measured on the films.
