MOTORCYCLE TYRE LOAD & SPEED MARKINGS
Radial, bias belted, and diagonal cross-ply tyres have markings to indicate their load and speed capabilities.
It is important that tyres are suitable for the maximum speed capability of the motorcycle. In some overseas countries this is a legal requirement.
Tyre speeds are shown in accordance with an alphabetical list of symbols indicating speeds at 10 km/h increments.
The relevant speed symbol is positioned near the size designation in conjunction with a load index: e.g. 120/90-18 65S, where '65' is the load index and 'S' the speed symbol. In the case of speed symbols 'V' and 'ZR', these are shown within the size designation, e.g. 120/90-V18. The size designation for 'V' and 'ZR' normally omits the load index. Details of speed symbols and load indices are shown in tables 1 and 2.

bucket online refpage
Using the bucket object
The bucket object implements a bucket brigade device (in the electronics world, this is sometimes referred to as a discrete time-analogue delay line). As the examples below suggest, it's useful for single-sample delay lines, calculating averages, computing velocity and acceleration, and permutating lists by rotating them.
bucket Tutorials
In the Max tutorial on abstractions, you can find a classic example of why the bucket object is so useful - this Max tutorial demonstrates its use as a single sample delay for number values useful for constructing drawing commands.
bucket Tips and Workarounds
Velocity and Acceleration
Lots of people use the bucket object for shifting data in series, it's computationally useful for calculating first and second derivatives for streams of data. The terms "first and second derivative" are math-speak for keeping track of:
 - the rate that things are changing (that's what velocity (the first derivative) is - the rate of change in a value over time.
 - the rate of the rate that things are changing - that's what acceleration (the second derivative) is.
Here's a patch that does that:
-- Pasted Max Patch, click to expand. --
Running Averages
I also tend to use the object quite a bit in situations where I desire a running average over some finite set of events (if you want a running average for an stream or unspecified set of values, you'd use the mean object). Here's an example that calculates the average of the last 8 floating point input values:
-- Pasted Max Patch, click to expand. --
A Bucket for Symbols
The bucket object is a little unusual in that you don't need to worry about using arguments to the object in order to have it work with floating point values. In fact, bucket is so useful that people often ask whether or not there's a Max object that is similar but will work with symbols or lists. While there isn't a specific object, here's a Max patch that does exactly that (and it also helpfully outputs stuff in standard right-to-left order, too):
-- Pasted Max Patch, click to expand. --
Arbitrary List Rotation
One way to think of the bucket object is a as an object that adds new input values and rotates the list by one position. While you can rotate a list forward or backward using the r2l and l2r messages to the bucket object, performing arbitrary list rotations can be done using the zl object and specifying the rot option:
-- Pasted Max Patch, click to expand. --
Third-Party Max externals similar to the bucket object

The zl object (in its zl rot form). Useful for performing rotations of lists where the list offset is an odd number greater than 1.

The National Programme LEADER+ has two general development objectives:
Integrated, high-quality, sustainable development of the countryside, by means of pilot implementations.
Support for the endeavour to end the isolation of various regions, on all levels of economic and social life.
These objectives are attained locally through the implementation of an integrated strategy, which is structured around one important thematic axis, characterizing the identity of the region, the 'Priority Theme'. The 'priority themes' of our country's local programmes are as follows:
- Improvement of quality of life in the implementation regions.
- Use of contemporary technology and expertise to improve the competitiveness of products and services.
- Utilization of local products and facilitation of access to markets by strengthening relations among sectors, mainly for small-scale productive enterprises.
- Making the best use of natural and cultural resources, including enhancing the value of sites of Community interest selected under Natura 2000.

Safeguarding the Churches of Venice, Italy: A Computerized Catalogue and Restoration Analysis
The intent of this project was to contribute to the preservation of the churches of Venice. The goal was to develop a comprehensive catalogue of all the churches of Venice, based on the original catalogue produced by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1968. The new catalogue is a searchable database with updated information that is accessible from the World Wide Web. To achieve this goal there were three main objectives: computerization of the existing catalogue, updating the catalogue, and the creation of an Internet version of the catalogue so that the information may be distributed the world over.


text: In this study, we report a facile strategy to prepare a new class of red phosphorus (RP) decorated and doped TiO2 (A: anatase and B: TiO2(B)) nanofibers with boosted photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance from pure water. The optimized TiO2(B)/RP and TiO2(A)/RP heterostructure exhibits significantly enhanced photocatalytic performances, with HER rate reaching 11.4 and 5.3 μmol h−1, respectively. The optical absorption of TiO2 is significantly extended to the visible light region after decoration of RP. And more oxygen vacancies (VO) were introduced by phosphorus doping in the TiO2(B)/RP than TiO2(A)/RP. The theoretical calculations illustrate the formation of VO can decrease the ratio of effective masses of electron to hole, which gives rise to promoted photoinduced charge separation and transfer. These results suggest that the boosted photocatalytic HER performance should be mainly attributed to the synergetic enhancement in light harvesting and charge separation enabled by RP deposition and P5+ doping.

The UKK 2 km Walk-Test
The UKK walk test (UKK are the initials for Urho Kaleka Kekkonen, founder of the UKK Institute in Tampere/Finland) makes it possible under certain assumptions to determine the approximately max. cardio respiratory efficiency (VO2 max) and therefore the physical condition of the subject. The UKK-walk test is perfectly suitable as a fitness check for fitness clubs or for athletes at schools for example. On the basis of this result a Fitness-Index is calculated with the help of a complex formula taking age, height, weight, test duration and Heart-Rate into consideration, which tells us whether the physical condition of the subject is above or below average. The value of 100 as the average serves as the base. If somebody's index-value is 90 then his physical condition is slightly below average. An index-value of 110 on the other hand would be above average.
The test explains itself by its name. In order to perform the test after having done some warming up and some stretching walk for 2 km as fast as possible (Do Not run!). It is important to keep the walking speed as high as is needed for the subject to achieve 80% of their max. Heart-Rate ( 220 – age). The test duration and heart-rate are measured immediately after finishing the 2 km distance.
As soon as the 2 km distance has been absolved the speed gets reduced to half the speed at the end of the test (2000 m). The Running-Machine operates as described under point "Manual-Mode" (the UP/DOWN-keys are in operation again) with one exception:
The display INDEX instead of indicating the wattage and energy consumption, indicates the test result (calculation following). The LED INDEX is flashing (top right hand side).
The test-result is the index-value which is calculated as follows (according to sex):
INDEX VALUE = 420 + A x 0,2
– (T x 0.19338 + HR x 0.56 + [W : (H2) x 2.6])
INDEX VALUE = 304 + A x 0.4
– (T x 0.1417 + HR x 0.32 + [W : (H2) x 1.1])
A = Age in years
T = Time = neede for 2 km in seconds
HR = HeartRate = average heart rate during the test in bpm
W = Weight in kg
H = Height in cm
Male, Age: 50 years
Weight: 105 kg / Height: 188 cm
Duration of test: 17:34 = 1054 seconds
Heart rate at m: 500 = 158, 1000 = 156,
1500 = 160 and 2000 = 155
Average (158 + 156 + 160 + 155) : 4 = 157 bpm
420 + 50 x 0.2 – (1054 x 0.19338 + 157 x 0.56
+ (105 : (1,882) x 2.6)) = 420
+ 10 - (203.8 + 87.9 + 29.7 x 2.6) = 430
– 368,9 = 61
An index-value of less than 70 is a result quite below average (average=100). Conclusion: Our subject is in need of some indurance training.
Basically the test is suitable for all physically healthy persons between the age of 20 and 65. The results will be less accurate with people with overweight. Athletes usually do not reach the required heart-rate when performing the test. The results will also be less accurate with elderly people.
First it has to be mentioned that the UKK-Test has not been designed for individual tests but for a larger amount of subjects. i.e. testing of a crowd of people at the same time by sending them off in 1/2 minute intervals on the 2 km-distance track. Therefore originally the UKK-Test has not been designed as a typical test for the running machine.
Advantages of performing the ukk walk-test on the running-machine: Being able to measure the precise time and distance of the test (it is exactly 2 km) and Heart-Rate control during the test. Direct test documentation via the printer interface.

Futures Market Expiration Dates
Futures markets (e.g. the Euro to US Dollar futures market) are traded using futures contracts, which are divided into several (usually four or more) contracts throughout the year. Each of the futures contracts is active for a specific amount of time, during which it can be traded, and the contract then expires, and can not be traded any more. The date upon which a futures contract expires is known as its expiration date, and the expiration dates are fixed for each futures market by the exchange that provides the market (e.g. the CME Group for the Euro to US Dollar futures market).
Standard Expiration Dates
There are four expiration dates which are considered the standard futures market expiration dates. The four standard expiration dates are the third Friday of every third month, which in 2011 (next year) will be as follows:
 - March 18th
 - June 17th
 - September 16th
 - December 16th
The standard expiration dates apply to most of the stock index futures markets (e.g. the Nasdaq 100 futures market), most of the stock index options markets (e.g. the S&P 500 options market), and some of the individual stock options markets, and are known as triple witching Friday because of the three types of markets that are expiring.
Additional Expiration Dates
There are also several expiration dates that are equally as important, but they are not known as the standard expiration dates (or as triple witching Friday). The additional expiration dates can be any day of any month, such as the Monday before the standard expiration dates, which is the expiration date for most of the currency futures markets (e.g. the Euro to US Dollar futures market).
Finding The Expiration Dates
The expiration dates for each futures market are provided by the contract specifications for each futures market, which are provided by the exchange that provides the market, and are usually available via the exchange's web site (e.g. _URL_ etc.).

BAL in the News
In 2015, a BAL learning initiative focused on the importance of racial diversity in the classroom was featured on WNYC:
The American School Counselor Association recommends a counselor-student ratio of 1:250. But the students are in impoverished districts, and many have been affected by the trauma that comes with living in neighborhoods with high crime rates, gang activity or unstable housing situations. Listen to the feature on WNYC below to hear our principal discuss the importance of this guidance.
"We have someone every year of the way through high school who's going to be able to make sure a kid is tuned in and focused on the academic prowess that's going to allow them to access college and careers," said Cardet-Hernandez.


don't know how to, you can easily find someone to help you around it.
When it comes to a tubeless setup, only a few people know how to set them up and repair them. You may be on your own if you suffer a catastrophic tire tear or failure.
A Tube Repair Kit Light
All you need when repairing a flat is a patch kit, tire levels, and, if required, some rubber glue. If the tube is torn, then you'll have to use a spare tube.
You don't have to carry super glue, plugs, a sewing kit, or sealant. For bicycle tourists, tubes are a better option because you won't have to take a bulky tubeless tire repair kit with you.
Expect a Lot More Flats
The biggest problem with tubes is that you can get a flat more quickly. A tiny staple or piece of glass will force you off the trail.
If you ride in deserts, you'll likely ride on thorns and get punctures, a few of them daily. You can invest in puncture protection tires to protect you from the mess.
The drawback with these kinds of tires is that they are heavier and harder to install on the rim. Another option is using a sealant that works like the tubeless sealant. It seals the tube puncture, and you won't have to patch it up.
Handling is Harder with Tubes
You cannot run tubes on low pressure. Traction feels different. This is because not much of the tire makes contact with the ground. Traction is crucial climbing hills and taking corners.
Your tires can slide if you take a very sharp corner on a loose surface. Your tires can also spin out if you pedal too hard. It's for these reasons that many mountain bikers prefer tubeless tires.
Running Under Low Tire Pressure is a No!
If you ride on tubes at a low PSI, you risk suffering snake bites. It happens when you hit an object, and your tire bottom hits the rim. The incident causes two small holes resembling a snake bite.
The only way to prevent this from occurring is to ensure your tube is inflated to capacity. You'll have to run your tires at 10 psi higher when running on tubes.
They'll Make You Ride Slower
Since you cannot run on tubes on low tire pressure, your turns will not be as fast, or you will end up losing control. You can't climb as quickly because your rear wheel risks spinning out.
Riding on tubes also makes acceleration slower because if you push the pedal hard, your rear wheel might spin out.
Tubes are Outdated
If you are the type of cyclist that prefers new things on their bikes, tubes are a bit dated. Most high-end bikes are coming with tubeless-ready wheels and tires.
Most companies are focusing on a tubeless system, and less engineering is focusing on tubed systems. For that one reason, tubes are still heavier.
Should I go Tubeless on My Mountain Bike?
If you ride your bike casually or occasionally, tubeless is not an option that you should consider much. The hassle and cost of setting one up are not worth it. The benefits are not necessary.
However, if you are an avid mountain biker who jumps on the bike every weekend or a serious rider, it would be best to run tubeless tires.
Some cyclists are totally against the idea of running tubeless, but it all depends on your preferences. You might run on tubeless, get a puncture and the sealant fails to seal the holes. However, a biker riding on tubes will patch more punctures than you will in a year.
How much does it cost to shift to tubeless?
It depends on what you have. If your bike came with tubeless-ready wheels and tubeless vale supplied, then you'll only have to buy some sealant which is a few tens of dollars.
If your tires and rims are already tubeless, but you don't have a tubeless valve, you will need to buy a set for about a hundred dollars, and for a fancier and lighter set like Muc-Off, it will cost you a few hundreds.
If your tires are not tubeless-ready, sealants will still work, but you will need much of it. However, if you decide a tubeless tire is a better option, expect to spend about a hundred dollars on a pair of tires, depending on the brand. If you don't have tubeless-ready rims, it's going to cost you more, up to a hundred dollars.
How big can a whole be?
Some small punctures refuse to seal sometimes due to puncture location. There have also been some scenarios where riders run over thorns and barely any air loss on their bikes.
Basically, most thorn holes, regardless of the size, will seal, but don't unstick the thorns from the tire, especially if the thorns are big.

Under review
String functions
Gustav Widén (System support) 4 years ago in IQANdesign updated 4 months ago 3
There are a few different forum questions and feature requests that I think would be possible to solve if we had added some string handling functions, for example comparison of text channel values:
,string concatenation:
and conversion from integer to text
Anyone else who thinks this could be a good idea?
Great ideas,
I also would like the ability to have an Array of text or being able to extract text from a file. This is for primarily for error handling. I have devices with a very large number of possible errors. More than what the state machine can handle (+ it is not very flexible).
I can sort my error or create Error log by number but then customer has to find code in instruction manual.
So the idea would be to be able to display a text based on an index. If the Error file was external then it could be easier to deal with and may not tax the memory? A Spreadsheet could be ideal thus allowing us to maintain the different languages or at least two dimensional array.
Under review
As a comment on this post, in IQANscript does have text compare.

Authors analyze the pattern of intrafirm transfer of management technology from Japanese multinational corporations (MNCs) to their overseas affiliates by using firm-level micro data and discern the determinants of the extent of technology transfer achieved. Defining intrafirm transfer of technology achieved as the case where responsibility of the task such as top management, sales, and labor management is given to local staff rather than Japanese staff, authors found that top management has been transferred at a limited number of affiliates, while the task of labor management has been transferred at many affiliates. Among the affiliates in different regions, technology transfer has been relatively more extensively achieved at affiliates in Europe, while it has been relatively limited at affiliates in ASEAN countries. An examination of the determinants of technology transfer revealed that the length of operation of the affiliates, and the quality of labor in the host countries have significantly positive impacts for the affiliates in Asia. These observations indicate the importance of providing an FDI friendly environment, under which MNCs are likely to stay for a long period, and the importance of improving the quality of human resources through education and training, in order to promote intrafirm transfer of management technology.

Computer Programming Team Scores
Photo: Courtesy of Angela Wu
On November 7, AU's computer programming team competed in the International Collegiate Programming Contest sponsored by IBM and ACM.
Nine AU students formed three teams of three people each. The contest was divided by region and site, with AU competing in the Mid-Atlantic Region division at the George Washington University site. One team ranked third place out of 22 teams at the GW site and 19th place out of the 161 teams in the entire Mid-Atlantic Region. Its members were undergraduates Priyadarshini Komala, BS computer science '12, and David Plassmann, BS computer science '10, and graduate student Michael Levin, MS computer science '10. Undergraduates Patrick Trebisacci, BS physics '12, Batbaatar Burentogtokh, BS computer science '12, and Reid Cumbest, BS computer science '03, composed the second team, and undergraduates Tai Vu, BS computer science '12 Michael Repas, BA philosophy '10 and Josh Reese, BS audio technology and computer science '10, composed the third.
In the contest, individual teams were given eight problems to solve in five hours, using the computer programming languages C++ or Java. Rankings were decided by how many problems the team completed and how quickly they were solved.
The team prepared for the contest since September, with weekly practices on Monday nights. Angela Wu, team advisor and computer science professor, says that she is most proud that the students worked well together while practicing and in competition.
"I think [the practices and competition] build community spirit," she says. "Our students are good, motivated students who look at this as fun."
Students from nearly 2,000 universities from over 80 countries in 6 continents participated in the competition.

A Heligan pineapple.
A fruit produced in the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall, England, may just be the most expensive pineapple in the world.
The gardeners at Heligan, who began restoration of the derelict gardens in 1990, first purchased fruits for the Pineapple Pit in 1994. Utilizing the same techniques used 70 years ago, during Heligan's heyday, Heligan's Productive Gardening Team produced a miniature pineapple that was, according to the gardeners, "the most delicious pineapple flavour ever tasted."
The "hotbed" technique used in the Pineapple Pit involves heating 30 tons of straw and horse manure through glass. The team was lucky enough to locate the proper mixture of straw and horse manure at a stable near Falmouth, about an hour from the gardens.
While the price of a modern day Heligan pineapple is yet to be announced, the original Heligan pineapples are estimated to have cost the Victorian equivalent of $15,000 to produce.
After the first fruit was tested by Heligan's gardeners, the second was delivered, by hand, to the Queen.

The solvgrid program creates bulk (or receptor) and explicit (or ligand) desolvation grids using the occupancy desolvation method (Luty et. al., J. Comp. Chem, 1995; Verkhiver et. al., J. Mol. Recog., 1999). The occupancy desolvation method is phenomenonlogical in nature where desolvation energy can be described pairwise additively. The desolvation energy due to interaction between a ligand atom and receptor atom can be calculated as the solvent affinity of a ligand atom weighted by the volume of the solvent displaced from the receptor atom due to binding and vice versa. Thus,
 Edsol = Si øDES,EXPL(xi) + fi øDES,BULK(xi)
Where the mobile atom i, has a solvation affinity of Si and a fragmental volume of fi. The solvent affinity of the ligand atom is calculated as:
Where qi is the charge on the ligand atom i, and alpha and beta are constants set at alpha = 0.25 kcal/mol and beta = -0.005 kcal/mol. fi is the volume of ligand atom i, calculated from the amber radius of the ligand atom. For the receptor, these can be precalculated and stored on a grid. øDES,BULK(xi) and øDES,EXPL(xi) are interpolated from grids calculated using the solvgrid program during docking. It requires the calculation of two separate grids:
where j is a rigid receptor atom, and Sj and fj are the solvent affinity and the fragmental volume of the receptor atom respectively. Bulk and explicit desolvation grids are calculated from fj and Sj at grid points p, distance rjp from the receptor atom multiplied by gaussian weighting of the distance. The solvgrid program calculates these grids from the charge and the volume of the receptor atoms.
USAGE: solvgrid
This programs require that an INRDSL file be created in the working directory, which contains the parameters to control the program. The INRDSL parameters for solvgrid are detailed below:
 receptor.pdb ; receptor pdb file
 parameters/ prot.table.ambcrg.ambH ; charge parameter file
 parameters/ vdw.parms.amb.mindock ; VDW parameter file
 box.pdb ; box pdb file

ChainIn set theory, a chain is a totally ordered subset of a partially ordered set. In algebraic topology, a chain is a formal combination of simplices.
A chain is a measurement of length equivalent to 22 yards (20.12 metres), which is one tenth of a furlong or one eightieth of a mile. It was used in surveying land in England and places under English influence, such as the United States, but is obsolete in many places. It is also called the surveyor's chain or Gunter's chain after 17th century mathematican and astronomer Edmund Gunter, who introduced it. The distance of 22 yards is the length of the pitch (from wicket to wicket) in cricket.
The engineer's chain or Ramden's chain of 100 feet (30.48m) was also used.

How did The Book Fairies celebrate International Women's Day?
Book Fairies around the world celebrated International Women's Day by hiding copies of Our Shared Shelf books – and there are still more to find on the 9th!
Emma Watson is a Book Fairy for the day
We must admit, we had an extra pair of hands on the day – Emma Watson hid books around places of significance to women and the feminist movement. Did you spot one?
The places Emma visited:
The Gertrude Stein statue: Gertrude Stein was an American novelist, poet, playwright and art collector. She was a leading figure in modernism in literature and art in the early 20th century. She wrote Tender Buttons and Three Lives, as well as work dealing with homosexual themes.
The Joan of Arc statue: The statue of French patriot and saint Joan of Arc was sculpted by a woman, Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington, in 1915. It was the very first statue depicting a non-fictional woman in NYC and was the only one until the 1980s.
Blue Stockings: a radical bookstore which holds regular events, including a feminist book club.
Harriet Tubman memorial: Harriet Tubman was an American abolitionist and humanitarian. Born into slavery in 1822, she escaped and subsequently rescued around seventy enslaved families and friends. After the American civil war she became an active participant in the struggle for women's suffrage.
Harriet Truman statue: Eleanor Roosevelt was the longest-serving First Lady in US history and she later served as the US delegate to the United Nations. She was the first chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights and also oversaw the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
You can see all her videos and pictures on Emma's instagram.
The books Emma dropped:
My Life on the Road by Gloria Steinem
The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
How to be a Woman by Caitlin Moran
Mom & Me & Mom by Maya Angelou
Half the Sky by Sheryl WuDunn and Nicholas Kristof

INDIAN JOURNAL OF TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE, cilt.12, ss.209-220, 2013 (SCI İndekslerine Giren Dergi)
Pinus brutia Ten., Pinus halepensis Mill., Pinus nigra Arnold, Pinus pinea L. and Pinus sylvestris L. forests cover approximately 10.91 million hectares area in Turkey. Since there are a lot of settlements inside or near these wide Pinus forest lands, the usages of Pinus species are very common among local people. Within this paper, 130 ethnobotanical and traditional medicinal studies published up to 2011 which were dealed different areas of Turkey are examined and the usages of Pinus species are compiled from 54 of them. It has 269 records that are to be proof of the wide range of ethnobotanical usages of pines. Due P. halepensis has a narrow distribution, the records about ethnobotanical usage of it does not exist in the investigated literature.

Trust, Reciprocity, and Guanxi in China: An Experimental Investigation
AbstractWe examine the influence of social distance on levels of trust and reciprocity in China. Social distance, reflected in the indigenous concept of guanxi, is of central importance to Chinese culture. In Study 1, some participants participated in two financially salient trust games to measure behavior, one with an anonymous classmate and the other with an anonymous, demographically identical nonclassmate. Other participants, drawn from the same population, completed hypothetical surveys to gauge both hypothetical behavior and expectations of others. Social distance effects on actual and hypothetical behavior were statistically consistent. The results together corroborated the hypothesized negative relationship between trust and social distance. However, reciprocity was not responsive to social distance. Study 2 found that affect-based trust, but not cognition-based trust, played a mediating role in the relationship between social distance and interpersonal trust in a hypothetical scenario. We conclude that close guanxi ties in China engender affect-based trust, which is extended to shouren classmates. This is true despite the fact that no more cognition-based trust is placed nor reciprocity received or expected from classmates compared to demographically identical shengren nonclassmates.

Are In-Demand Jobs in the Hospitality Sector, In-Demand for Opportunity Youth?
A familiar theme in a "changing world of work" is the fear of job loss to automation, matched by insufficient job creation to meet the demands of youth unemployment. Despite these fears, the hospitality industry continues to grow: Demand for workers, the large number of entry-level jobs, combined with low barriers to entry, transferable customer service skills, and a tendency to promote existing and long-term employees to management-level positions, make the hospitality sector ideal for workforce development efforts that target young people. Hotel supply chains also represent a diverse array of opportunities for youth in a changing world of work. With so much potential for career pathways in hospitality, why aren't more youth engaged? This session discussed the potential of the hospitality industry alongside some of the common and persistent barriers to Opportunity Youth gaining access to jobs in the sector, as well as some of the strategies being deployed to address these challenges.


This tool allows an RT 3.x instance to integrate with a Subversion revision control system. To install the package in your RT instance, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make install To configure your subversion server to talk to an RT instance, you'll need to do a bit of setup. In your RT::SiteConfig, set up the following variables: Set($PathToSvn, '/usr/bin/svn'); # or wherever your svn(1) binary lives Set($SvnRepository, ''); # or Set($SvnRepository,'svn://'); You also need to add a "post-commit" hook to your svn repository so that it knows how to talk to RT. Basically, it does a simple HTTP "GET" request to tell RT to query the svn server for an update. We use this provoked poll method so that RT doesn't need to trust arbitrary incoming pings. RT is careful to only apply each commit once. Create a _privileged_ RT user for the svn integration to use. It doesn't matter if that user has no specific rights; they just need to be able to log into RT's web interface. Add the following line (assuming you use curl) to your repository's hooks/post-commit script: curl "$REV" & To tell RT which ticket a commit is associated with, put an RT-Ticket: line in your commit message. if there's no RT-Ticket: line, rt will ignore the commit message. If you put "rtname#" before the ticket id, RT instances whose rtnames don't match what you've put in will act as if they haven't seen a ticket id. This can be useful if you use svk to move subversion commits between repositories and want to track commit history across multiple RT instances. The other recognized commands are RT-Status and RT-Update. RT-Action is an alias for RT-Update, if preferred. Commands are case-insensitive and may occur in any order, at any point in the commit message. A couple simple examples: =====cut here====== RT-Ticket: RT-Ticket: RT-Ticket: RT-Status: resolved RT-Update: comment This is a simple comment. ======cut here======= OR ======cut here======= RT-Ticket: 123 RT-Status: open RT-Update: correspond We've commmited a fix to your problem. Is it fixed in -HEAD? ======cut here=======

San Francesco - Via della Quarquonia 1 (Classroom 1 )
The Eshelbian (or configurational) force is the main concept of a celebrated theoretical framework associated with the motion of dislocations and, more in general, defects in solids. In a similar vein, in an elastic structure where a (smooth and bilateral) constraint can move and release energy,a force driving the configuration is generated, which therefore is called by analogy 'Eshelby-like'or 'configurational'. This force (generated by a specific movable constraint) is derived both via variational calculus and, independently, through an asymptotic approach. Its action on the elastic structure is counterintuitive, but is fully substantiated and experimentally measured on a model structure that has been designed, realized and tested. These findings open a totally new perspective in the mechanics of deformable mechanisms, with possible broad applications, even at the nanoscale.

For the following minimal example, there appears to be a regression in Intel Fortran LLVM 2023.0.0 20221201 and Classic 2021.8.0.20221119 that works in 2022.2.1 Build 20221101. The 'random_init()' second call should use a new seed, but does not.
program demo_rand use, intrinsic :: iso_fortran_env, only : stderr=>error_unit implicit none real :: r1, r2 call random_init(.false.,.false.) call random_number(r1) call random_init(.false.,.false.) call random_number(r2) if (r1==r2) then write(stderr,*) 'random_init fail: ', r1,'== ', r2 error stop 'these two random number should not match if random_init is working' endif print *, "OK: random_init: ", r1, " /= ", r2 end program
You are correct that the second call to RANDOM_INIT should result in a different sequence. The standard says (emphasis mine), "CALL RANDOM_INIT(REPEATABLE=false, IMAGE_DISTINCT=false) is equivalent to invoking RANDOM_SEED with a processor-dependent value for PUT that is the same on every invoking image. Different values for PUT shall be used for subsequent invocations, and for each execution of the program."
I've reworked your test program to more precisely match what the standard says:
program demo_rand use, intrinsic :: iso_fortran_env, only : stderr=>error_unit implicit none integer :: szize integer, allocatable :: seed1(:),seed2(:) call random_seed(size=szize) allocate (seed1(szize),seed2(szize)) call random_init(.false.,.false.) call random_seed (get=seed1) print *, seed1 call random_init(.false.,.false.) call random_seed(get=seed2) print *, seed2 if (all(seed1==seed2)) then write(stderr,*) 'random_init fail' error stop 'these two seeds should not match if random_init is working' endif print *, "OK: random_init" end program
In contrast to the first post that report a change in behavior in the last release, do not see any changes in behavior between 2022.1, 2022.2.1 and 2023.0 versions of ifx on Linux (I just tried these three versions as I all have them locally installed).
Here i s a link to the compiler explorer with Steve's slightly modified example in ifx 2022.2.1:
Thanks _USER_ you are correct. I was checking between Windows 2022.2.1 that does NOT have this issue and Linux that has long had this issue. I also checked with ifort Version 2021.1 Build 20201112 on Linux and saw the same issue. So yes, it's NOT actually a regression, it's just long broken behavior.


possible, however do not be tempted to use them to find out if something is true or false! # XXX BAD! is( exists $brooklyn{tree}, 1, 'A tree grows in Brooklyn' ); This does not check if C is true, it checks if it returns 1. Very different. Similar caveats exist for false and 0. In these cases, use ok(). ok( exists $brooklyn{tree}, 'A tree grows in Brooklyn' ); For those grammatical pedants out there, there's an C function which is an alias of isnt(). =cut sub is ($$;$) { $Test->is_eq(_USER_); } sub isnt ($$;$) { $Test->isnt_eq(_USER_); } *isn't = \&isnt; =item B like( $this, qr/that/, $test_name ); Similar to ok(), like() matches $this against the regex C. So this: like($this, qr/that/, 'this is like that'); is similar to: ok( $this =~ /that/, 'this is like that'); (Mnemonic "This is like that".) The second argument is a regular expression. It may be given as a regex reference (i.e. C) or (for better compatibility with older perls) as a string that looks like a regex (alternative delimiters are currently not supported): like( $this, '/that/', 'this is like that' ); Regex options may be placed on the end (C<'/that/i'>). Its advantages over ok() are similar to that of is() and isnt(). Better diagnostics on failure. =cut sub like ($$;$) { $Test->like(_USER_); } =item B unlike( $this, qr/that/, $test_name ); Works exactly as like(), only it checks if $this B match the given pattern. =cut sub unlike ($$;$) { $Test->unlike(_USER_); } =item B cmp_ok( $this, $op, $that, $test_name ); Halfway between ok() and is() lies cmp_ok(). This allows you to compare two arguments using any binary perl operator. # ok( $this eq $that ); cmp_ok( $this, 'eq', $that, 'this eq that' ); # ok( $this == $that ); cmp_ok( $this, '==', $that, 'this == that' ); # ok( $this && $that ); cmp_ok( $this, '&&', $that, 'this && that' );...etc... Its advantage over ok() is when the test fails you'll know what $this and $that were: not ok 1 # Failed test (foo.t at line 12) # '23' # && # undef It's also useful in those cases where you are comparing numbers and is()'s use of C will interfere: cmp_ok( $big_hairy_number, '==', $another_big_hairy_number ); =cut sub cmp_ok($$$;$) { $Test->cmp_ok(_USER_); } =item B can_ok($module, _USER_); can_ok($object, _USER_); Checks to make sure the $module or $object can do these _USER_ (works with functions, too). can_ok('Foo', qw(this that whatever)); is almost exactly like saying: ok( Foo->can('this') && Foo->can('that') && Foo->can('whatever') ); only without all the typing and with a better interface. Handy for quickly testing an interface. No matter how many _USER_ you check, a single can_ok() call counts as one test. If you desire otherwise, use: foreach my $meth (_USER_) { can_ok('Foo', $meth); } =cut sub can_ok ($@) { my($proto, _USER_) = _USER_; my $class = ref $proto || $proto; unless( _USER_ ) { my $ok = $Test->ok( 0, "$class->can(...)" ); $Test->diag(' can_ok() called with no methods'); return $ok; } my _USER_ = (); foreach my $method (_USER_) { local($!, $@); # don't interfere with caller's $@ # eval sometimes resets $! eval { $proto->can($method) } || push _USER_, $method; } my $name; $name = _USER_ == 1? "$class->can('$methods[0]')" : "$class->can(...)"; my $ok = $Test->ok(!_USER_, $name ); $Test->diag(map " $class->can('$_') failed\n", _USER_); return $ok; } =item B isa_ok($object, $class, $object_name); isa_ok($ref, $type, $ref_name); Checks to see if the given C<< $object->isa($class) >>. Also checks to make sure the object was defined in the first place. Handy for this sort of thing: my $obj = Some::Module->new; isa_ok( $obj, 'Some::Module' ); where you'd otherwise have to write my $obj = Some::Module->new; ok( defined $obj && $obj->isa('Some::Module') ); to safeguard against your test script blowing up. It works on references, too: isa_ok( $array_ref, 'ARRAY' ); The diagnostics of this test normally just refer to 'the object'. If you'd like them to be more specific, you can supply an $object_name (for example 'Test customer'). =cut sub isa_ok ($$;$) { my($object, $class, $obj_name) = _USER_; my $diag; $obj_name = 'The object' unless defined $obj_name; my $name = "$obj_name isa $class"; if(!defined $object ) { $diag = "$obj_name isn't defined"; } elsif(!ref $object ) { $diag = "$obj_name isn't a reference"; } else { # We can't use UNIVERSAL::isa because we want to honor isa() overrides local($@, $!); # eval sometimes resets $! my $rslt = eval { $object->isa($class) }; if( $@ ) { if( $@ =~ /^Can't call method "isa" on unblessed reference/ ) { if(!UNIVERSAL::isa($object, $class) ) { my $ref = ref $object; $diag = "$obj_name isn't a '$class' it's a '$ref'"; } } else { die ok( 0, $name ); $Test->diag(" $diag\n"); } else { $ok = $Test->ok( 1, $name ); } return $ok; } =item B =item B pass($test_name); fail($test_name); Sometimes you just want to say that the tests have passed. Usually the case is you've got some complicated condition that is difficult to wedge into an ok(). In this case, you can simply use pass() (to declare the test ok) or fail (for not ok). They are synonyms for ok(1) and ok(0). Use these very, very, very sparingly. =cut sub pass (;$) { $Test->ok(1, _USER_); } sub fail (;$) { $Test->ok(0, _USER_); } =back =head2 Diagnostics If you pick the right test function, you'll usually get a good idea of what went wrong when it failed. But sometimes it doesn't work out that way. So here we have ways for you to write your own diagnostic messages which are safer than just C. =over 4 =item B diag(_USER_); Prints a diagnostic message which is guaranteed not to interfere with test output. Like C _USER_ is simply concatinated together. Handy for this sort of thing: ok( grep(/foo/, _USER_), "There's a foo user" ) or diag("Since there's no foo, check that /etc/bar is set up right"); which would produce: not ok 42 - There's a foo user # Failed test (foo.t at line 52) # Since there's no foo, check that /etc/bar is set up right. You might remember C with the mnemonic C. All diag()s can be made silent by passing the "no_diag" option to Test::More. C 1, 'no_diag'>. This is useful if you have diagnostics for personal testing but then wish to make them silent for release without commenting out each individual statement. B The exact formatting of the diagnostic output is still changing, but it is guaranteed that whatever you throw at it it won't interfere with the test. =cut sub diag { return unless $Show_Diag; $Test->diag(_USER_); } =back =head2 Module tests You usually want to test if the module you're testing loads ok, rather than just vomiting if its load fails. For such purposes we have C and C. =over 4 =item B BEGIN { use_ok($module); } BEGIN { use_ok($module, _USER_); } These simply use

Hide the date from the taskbar in Windows 7
By default, Windows 7 displays the date next to the time in the notification area of the taskbar (system tray). This used to be the case with previous versions of Windows when you resized the taskbar to a large enough height to allow enough space to show the date, and even the day of the week. In this tutorial, we will show you how to hide the date from the Windows 7 taskbar, without having to hide the time! This means that you will keep the system clock, but only show the time, without a date.
Note that this tutorial assumes that you want to hide the date from the taskbar, but that you still want to keep the time showing in the notification area; if this is not the case, Windows 7 lets you show or hide the clock altogether, and completely remove it from the taskbar.
Show only time in taskbar, no date
To hide the date from the taskbar, follow these steps:
- Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar, and choose "Properties"
- Windows 7 will open the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" window
- Make sure that the Taskbar tab is selected
- When, as is the case by default, Windows 7 uses "Large Icons" in the taskbar, it makes your taskbar higher, as shown on the screenshot below:
- In the Taskbar properties window, check the "Use small icons" checkbox
- Now, click Apply to preview the change; Windows 7 will make the icons smaller, and at the same time make the taskbar itself smaller. As you noticed, the taskbar no longer displays the date, but it still displays the time:
- And, best of all, even if the date is now hidden from the taskbar, you can still see it by moving your mouse cursor above the clock, and leave it there for a second or so:
And this is all it takes to hide the date from the Windows 7 taskbar! You can at any time get the date by moving your mouse above the system clock, or by quickly resizing (temporarily) the taskbar, to get not only the date, but also the day of the week:
Tip: you can also view a full month calendar in the taskbar (instead of just a simple day or date), by giving a single click on the system clock. Some older versions of Windows used to accept a double-click, which would show the full date and time settings, but since Windows Vista you have this mini built-in calendar, right in your taskbar.up ↑

Obese Primates
February 22, 2011
from The New York Times
Update: The following post is very rant-like, my apologies. The research on monkeys upsets me. Do we have to do this to these creatures who can't make choices to prove that not getting outside and moving one's body and eating poorly can be deleterious to health? I'm glad we have medical interventions that can help. I also wish that we all could observe a better social ethic around living healthily. Seeing monkeys and humans lose the graciousness of their being in this way makes me ache. There is no other way to say it.

This article in the NYTimes described obesity research being conducted on primates. Why does reading about primates confined to cages, eating bad foods as they gain pound after pound, tear me apart more than my knowledge of all the people who live this way? So many people get out of bed, trudge to work, eat donuts/muffins/bagel with coffee on the go, sit or stand all day enclosed in a small space, snack to forestall boredom and fatigue, eat unhealthy take-out lunch, then sit, stand and snack some more until its time to go home and watch TV (and snack). Are we any different than those poor research primates, save the fact that no one is studying us? (more…)

Up to 1.5 million children do not go to school in Kenya. What proportions of these children are expected to be out of school because of the various barriers to enrolment (eg direct or opportunity costs of education, disability, distance to school, etc)?
This report addresses the reasons why children are out of school in Kenya. It includes sections on:
- Proportions of children affected by different barriers to education
- ILO report on access to education in Kenya
- Related information
- Resources on barriers to education
Some proportional statistics on barriers to enrolment were found from differing sources. The ILO report, outlined in section 3, gives proportional data showing reasons for absenteeism, drop-out and non-enrolment for 3 districts in Kenya. Reasons for non-enrolment are:
- 68.7% lack of funds
- 7% few admission slots
- 6.1% father/guardian ignorance
- 5.2% under age
- 4.3% distance to school
- 2.6% mental handicap
- 2.6% decision of the father

Denton and Harlaxton - long and short
Enjoy a circular walk in and around these two pretty rural villages that lie at the edge of the Trent and Belvoir Vales and close to the border with Leicestershire. The walks use village and field paths to visit Denton Reservoir, the Grantham Canal, and Denton and Harlaxton villages. The walks start at Denton which lies approximately three miles (five kilometres) south west of Grantham.
Shorter route
3.5 miles (5.5 kilometres)
1.75 hours
Longer route
four miles (6.5 kilometres)
two hours
Starting point
St Andrew's Church
NG32 1LG
Grid reference SK 865 325.
 1. From the church follow the road around to the right and past the school. Go straight on at the first junction and at the second turn left onto Casthorpe Road.
 2. Approximately 100m after the cottages, cross the stream and turn right onto the public footpath and follow it along a track and across the field to the far right hand corner up a bank. Cross a track (the old mineral railway line) and carry straight on beside the the feeder stream to the reservoir. Walk 3/4 of the
 way around the reservoir (approximately0.5 miles or 800m).
 3. Turn left onto a public footpath which goes down some steps and across a bridge. Carry on in the same direction between two hedges and then along a field edge/track. At the field corner go over the bridge ahead and follow the footpath across/around the field to the far corner. Go through the gap in the hedge. The Grantham Canal is now on your left.
 4. For the shorter walk turn right following the restricted byway. Go through a field gate to join a track which will lead you uphill to the road. Cross the road (take care crossing this busy road) and walk down Rectory Lane to the corner and turn right onto West End. Rejoin the walk directions at point 7.
 For the longer walk carry straight on alongside the canal to the road and turn right.
 5. At the crossroads, with the A607, go straight on (take care crossing this busy road) onto Harlaxton High Street.
 6. Walk past the shop and turn right up some steps onto a footpath opposite the telephone box and village cross, to the church. Follow the path to the left hand side of the church and out of the churchyard. Continue on in the same direction along the field edge, through a yard and across another field, bearing slightly to the left, to a gate onto a road.
 7. Cross the road and walk along West End and continue straight on through a gate to a field. Bear diagonally right across the field aiming to the right of the line of trees in the hedge, to the main road. Cross the road with care and take the footpath opposite diagonally left across the field. At the old railway line turn right then almost immediately left and continue in the same direction over a footbridge. Bear right across the field to the far right hand corner. Follow this path back to Denton Main Street.
 8. Cross the road and follow the public footpath between two cottages almost immediately opposite. Cross the bridge and continue straight on under the horse chestnut trees to a gate. Turn right down the road and follow the public footpath on the left behind the school, to return to the church.

Electricity Cost of Using a Kindle
I while ago someone on The Simple Dollar made a comment questioning the electricity usage of a Kindle. At the time I thought to myself that a Kindle couldn't possibly use much electricity. Small electronics like cell phones and tables and the like really don't use much power and their small batteries require little electricity to charge them. But I like to have actual facts rather than just simple assumptions. Therefore I set off to find out how much electricity a Kindle actually uses and how much the electricity it would cost to operate one.
Amazon's Kindle Fire is probably the worst case as far as Kindle models go. It has color screen and a more powerful processor so it will use more electricity than the other models. I'm going to just look at the Fire since its the worst case, the other simpler black and white models will be cheaper to operate.
The Kindle Fire has a battery with 16.28 Wh capacity. Thats 0.1628 kWh. The average cost of a single kWh is about 11¢/. Based on these numbers it would cost 0.17908¢ to charge the battery of a Kindle Fire.
You can charge the battery in a Kindle Fire 5.58 times for a single penny worth of electricity.
Amazon says that the Kindle Fire will last 8 hours of reading on a single charge. One penny worth of electricity will get you 44.64 hours worth of reading on a Fire.
 An average book is approximately 70,000 words. An average adult reads about 250 words a minute.
1 penny = 44.64 hours reading = 2678.4 minutes reading = 669,600 words = 9.565 books.
For the cost of 1 penny worth of electricity an average speed reader can read approximately 9 1/2 average size books on a Fire.
The Kindle Fire will also play movies and videos. The Amazon specs say that the Fire will play 7.5 hours of video on a battery charge. Nearly as much as the reading time on a single battery charge.
Since a penny of electricity will charge a Fire 5.58 times and a single charge will give you 7.5 hours of video you can get 41.85 hours of video playback on a Fire for 1 penny worth of electricity.
Of course all of these numbers are just averages and your mileage will vary.
Bottom Line : A Kindle is very cheap to operate and the electricity bill should be almost negligible.

Did you know that newborn babies have the most water? An average newborn is roughly 75% water, a level that decreases as we age, dropping to about 50% for an elderly person.
The amount of water inside the body throughout the course of its life also varies depending on what shape that body is in. The more muscular a body is, the more water it contains. Conversely, the more fat there is in a body, the less water there is, because the water-content of fat is low. Our vital organs, like the brain, lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys, contain between 65% to 85% water*, while bones contain around 30%.

When a domain changes holder this means that the current domain holder gives up their position as holder of the domain. A new holder takes their place. The current holder cancels the existing domain contract and a new domain contract is concluded between the future holder and DENIC.
There are two options to transfer a.de domain to a new holder:
- The provider who currently administers the domain performs the domain transfer: Both the previous and the future holder of the domain request the provider to change the domain details.
- The domain is transferred within the scope of a provider transfer. This is done in three steps:
- The current domain holder requests their provider to register a provider transfer password (AuthInfo) for the domain concerned.
- The current domain holder communicates this password to the future domain holder.
- The future domain holder communicates the password to the provider of their choice. This provider then carries out the provider transfer using the password and, simultaneously, executes the holder transfer.
Note: A holder change cannot be performed, if the domain bears a DISPUTE entry.

ARM Technical Support Knowledge Articles
How is the ARM7TDMI core tested?
Applies to: ARM7TDMI
For the ARM7TDMI, there are essentially 3 different approaches to testing:
 1. Conventional parallel test:
 ARM supplies 10 sets of parallel test vectors, 27k vectors for ARM7TDMI, to test the functionality of the entire core. This test method requires access to all of the I/O signals of the cores, which sometimes might not be possible or feasible for an ARM core embedded in an ASIC.
 2. Using serialised test vectors:
 ARM provides'serialised' test vectors for the ARM7TDMI core to test it through the JTAG port. For ARM7TDMI, this increases the number of vectors to over 900k. The advantage here is that only the 5 JTAG signals need to be accessible to the tester.
 The TAP controller in the ARM processor core is a standard IEEE1149.1 compliant implementation. However, the scan cells used in the ARM7 core are not fully compliant, because they do not have an 'update' stage.
 3. Using AMBA:
 This technique uses ARM's standard on chip bus specifications, AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture). If the users ASIC design implements AMBA, a 32 bit bus architecture, then it is possible to apply the AMBA test methodology to the core. The parallel test vectors have been partitioned into 32 bit words which can be applied to the core through the 32 bit test interface of the ASIC if the AMBA test methodology has been adopted.
 The production test patterns for the ARM7TDMI have been converted into AMBA "TIC" (Test Interface Control) patterns which present about 100k test vectors, with generally only 3 extra pins required.
 For ASIC designs using AMBA, this is the recommend approach.
Comparison of production vectors
Here is a vector count comparison between AMBA (TIC), Parallel, and Serialised (access through JTAG) production test vectors:
TestTICParallelSerialised (JTAG)
Tdebug *18025352765716
Tice *651501300355183
* The Debug and ICE test have a high proportion of pre-serialised sections.

Random Tower Packing
- Random tower packing simply pours the filtration media into the tower.
- The uneven distribution and orientation of the parts increase the surface area and enhance the transfer of mass between two fluids.
- The benefits of random packing media comes from narrow tower without ready access.
- In some instances, random packing material may augment existing material to increase a tower's capacity.
Plastic Packings are used in corrosive applications with low to moderate operating temperatures and can offer an economic advantage over metal materials. Where temperature permits, plastic tower packings are better than ceramic packings. Plastic Packings are mainly used in the absorption, scrubbing, stripping, and heat transfer services.
- CO2 Absorption
- SO2, HCl & HF Absorption Or Stripping
- Chlorine Absorption In Water Or Caustic
- Chlorine Dioxide Absorption
- Hydrogen Sulphide & Mercaptan Removal
- Air Pollution Control Scrubbers
- VOC Removal
- Wastewater Treatment
- Drinking Water Preparation
- Fish Farming
- Direct contact cooler
- Water Chiller
- Relatively InexpensiveCompared to structured packing, random packings provide a more cost-effective method of filling a tower. The design, material and amount you choose will ultimately determine the final cost.
- High strength-to-weight ratioThe individual pieces, especially those made from more durable materials, have a high ratio of strength-to-weight. Overall, the random packing media can physically endure mechanical stress well, especially in relation to their lightweight construction.
- Ease of use in difficult-to-access sitesRandom packing materials have an easy to install method that does not require frequent servicing as trays do. For narrow towers with hard-to-reach openings, using random packing material will provide a better option.
When choosing random packing materials, several factors will narrow down the options available for your application. Ask yourself the following questions:
- Is the material a direct replacement of the existing packing you use?
- Do you know the type of packing and performance you require?
- Does the media work with your process?
To help you decide if a media works with your process, consider its surface area, wetting area, friction, and other performance factors to find the ideal option to use in your tower.
- Surface Area
Increase efficiency by choosing random packings with a greater surface area. The more surface area per volume of the packing, the higher the vapor-liquid contact. The surface area you get from your media depends on multiple other factors, including the size and shape of the pieces.
- Wetting Rate
Each material has an inherent wetting rate. If the liquid load drops below the wetting rate, the surfaces of the packings will dry out. The effects of liquids dropping below the wetting rate for the given material include decreased efficiency.
- Uniformity of Distribution
The benefit of random packing is the lack of structure the material creates. When pieces interlock, they can create paths for fluid flow. When fluids have the chance to move along channels, the system loses efficiency.
- Uniform Spreading Surface
How the surfaces of the media spread fluids determine their efficiency. While surface area plays an important part in how efficiently the system operates, when pieces have a uniform spreading surface to allow more vapor-liquid contact, the packing works better.
- Package Voidage
Increasing the amount of void space as much as possible reduces the chances the media will slow down the upward movement of vapor through the system. Due to more void space inside the parts, the capacity of a tower will rise when using larger random packing pieces.
Lower friction for packing media opens spaces between the pieces and inside them. With more space, the tower has a greater capacity and operates more efficiently.
- Packing Strength
The mechanical strength of the material should withstand compression and other damage from typical use in a tower. Resisting corrosion and thermal damage also contributes to the overall strength of a packing media.
- Packing Material
The materials available include Plastics, Ceramics, Carbon, Glass & PTFE.

Definition: method to measure the amount of a substance using an antibody against the substance for specificity and a radioactive label for detection and measurement.
Radioimmunoassay Definition - A highly sensitive and specific assay method that uses the competition between radiolabeled and unlabeled substances in an antigen-antibody reaction to determine the concentration of the unlabeled substance; it can be used to determine antibody concentrations or to determine the concentration of any substance against which specific antibody can be produced. Abbreviated RIA (source: NDI Foundation).
Radioimmunoassay (RIA) from Wikipedia - a scientific method used to test antigens (for example, hormone levels in the blood) without the need to use a bioassay. It involves mixing known quantities of radioactive antigen (frequently labeled with gamma-radioactive isotopes of iodine attached to tyrosine) with antibody to that antigen, then adding unlabeled or "cold" antigen and measuring the amount of labeled antigen displaced.
Steroid Radioimmunoassay - The following protocol is used in the laboratory of Professor John Wingfield at the University of Washington, Seattle. It is meant to be used under supervision in this lab. Normally it may take several weeks or even months to become proficient with the assay techniques. The Wingfield Lab is not responsible for consequences occurring when persons attempt to use this protocol on their own.
Radioimmunoassay Technique - The technique was introduced in 1960 by Berson and Yalow as an assay for the concentration of insulin in plasma. It represented the first time that hormone levels in the blood could be detected by an in vitro assay.

Guy wire. How long is a guy wire reaching from the top of a 21ft pole to a point on the ground 14 ft from the pole?
28ft (27.784887978899609016865094082057ft to be exact)
since when this is drawn it forms a right triangle, we use pythagorean theorem:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c = hypotenuse
a and b are base and height of the triangle
c^2 = 14^2 + 21^2
c = sqrt (196 + 441)
c = 25.24 ft
hope this helps~ :)


Vallam Kali
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Aranmula Uthrattathi Boat Race
Vallam Kali (Malayalam: വള്ളംകളി, vaḷḷaṃ kaḷi, literally "boat game") is a traditional boat race in Kerala, India. It is a form of canoe racing, and uses paddled war canoes. It is mainly conducted during the season of the harvest festival Onam in autumn. Vallam Kali includes races of many kinds of paddled longboats, the traditional boats of Kerala.
Vallam Kali originated in Assyria, on a New Year's Day in 300 BC. Vallam Kalli events were conducted by several ancient Indian states.
In Kerala, during an early 14th-century war between the feudal kingdoms of Kayamkulam and Chembakassery, King Devanarayana of Chembakassery commissioned the construction of a war boat called Chundan Vallam and he tasked a famous carpenter of the day with the responsibility of creating it.[1] Hence, the technical methods for creating these Snake Boats are around 650 years old. Of the snake boats still in use today, the Parthasarathi Chundan is the oldest model.
Vallam Kali has mainly been conducted during the season of the harvest festival Onam in Autumn. The race of Chundan Vallam is the major event. Vallam Kali also includes races of many other kinds of traditional paddled longboats of Kerala, and is one of the major tourist attractions in the state.
Vanchipattu (lit. boatsong) is the form of poetry in Malayalam language commonly using while Vallam Kali and related festivals. During Aranmula Uthrattadi Vallamkali, the vanchipattu is performed by the participants for its significance in the rituals. Ramapurathu Warrier is considered to be the pioneer of the vanchipattu.

Migrant Education Program
over 2 years ago
The Migrant Education Program
The migrant education program provides help with education and other needs for children ages 3-21 who move frequently because they, their parents, or guardians work in agriculture, fishing, or forestry. Since 1996, the United States government has offered this assistance to families who work in agriculture. The Program is available in every U.S. state and Puerto Rico.
Migrant Education Program Goals
The goal of the Program is to help children and young people overcome problems that result from repeated moves, so the children can be successful in school, graduate from high school and go onto college or employment after graduation. The additional support for children from highly mobile, agricultural families gives them the same change for success as other students. In addition, the Program offers some services for young people under the ages of 22 who are not attending school.
Migrant Education Program Services
In school, the Program offers extra help for the students who need it most. The Migrant Education Program at your school might offer:
- In-class assistance
- Help with homework before or after school
- Summer school
- Preschool for children ages 3-5
- Parent meetings
In the community, the program helps with support services. Some examples are:
- 24 hour accident insurance for all eligible children
- Helping parents learn about the community and where they can get help finding employment, child care, food, clothes, and health services
- GED or English classes for youth who are working
Who Qualifies for Migrant Education Program Services?
Children and young people ages 3 to 21 years old:
- Who have not yet graduated from high school;
- Who moved with their families across school district boundaries within the last 3 years;
- Who moved so they or their parents could look for work in agriculture, fishing, forestry, ranching, dairy, canneries or meat packing plants;
- And whose families depend on agriculture work to survive.
After You Join the Migrant Education Program:
- All information provided by parents if confidential by law.
- Oregon keeps the information on a computer system. Only Migrant Program personnel may use the system.
- The Migrant Education Program in your school district will decide which services each child will receive.
- All eligible children and youth are covered by accident insurance 24 hours a day. The insurance pays part of the medical costs when a child is injured in an accident, including in school sports.
- The children and youth are eligible for Migrant Education Program services for three years from the date of the qualifying move.
- The Program is voluntary and free to all eligible children.

History of the Arizona Court of Appeals, Division One
The Arizona Legislature created the Arizona Court of Appeals in 1964 to accommodate the increase in appeals presented to the Arizona Supreme Court as the state grew in population. The court began operations in 1965 and serves as an intermediate appellate court with two divisions: Division One, based in Phoenix, and Division Two, based in Tucson.
Division One of the court came into existence with three judges and was expanded to its current number of sixteen judges throughout the years as the state's population increased. The court considers appeals emanating from eight of Arizona's fifteen counties: Apache, Coconino, La Paz, Navajo, Maricopa, Mohave, Yavapai, and Yuma. To date, 54 men and women have served as judges on the court.
The following articles were published by the Arizona Attorney in its June 2005 edition and thoroughly recount the court's initial 40 years, including personal reflections and memories. The court thanks the publishers of the Arizona Attorney for allowing the court to maintain links to the articles on this site.

Running Postman is a common, sun-loving ground cover around Cape Jervis. They like sandy soil, and are drought tolerant plants, so look for them off Flinders Drive, towards the Ferry Terminal. The wiry stems spread along the ground for up to 1.5 metres. Leaves occur in threes, and have wavy edges. The lovely red flowers occur singly or in pairs, in spring. Note the yellow spot at the centre. The seed pods are like long pea pods, but are dark red. They can be up to 5 cm long.

LCD display and viewing angle
 1. Jul 7, 2008 #1
 What is the detailed explanation of the limited viewing angle experienced with LCD displays? Since LCD relies on polarization, it seems to me that with reflective displays (i.e. ones without built-in light source, using onyl reflected external light) the amount of light reflected from the display depends heavily on the viewing angle, since the reflected light is polarized, so for some angles no light will be reflect at all etc. (as in Brewster's angle). However, how you explain this in backlit displays?

The cars on U.S. roads are older than they've ever been.
A recent survey found that the average age of U.S. vehicles is now at a record high of 11.5 years.
That means the average passenger car on the road today was built for the 2004 model year--and that there's a long tail of cars stretching well back into the 1990s around you in daily traffic.
DON'T MISS: Gas Prices Matter To U.S. Households, But Only Somewhat
The statistic comes from research firm IHS Automotive, which supplied a few reasons for increased average car age, according to The Car Connection.
One reason is that cars built over the last decade or so are better made than ones made 20 or 30 years ago--a response to consistent consumer calls for increased reliability.
Greater electric-car adoption could accelerate this trend even further because: Without combustion engines, electric cars have far fewer parts that can break or wear out.
2004 Honda Civic Coupe
2004 Honda Civic Coupe
Of course, the resilience of cars doesn't matter if people don't continue driving them.
The data indicate people are using their older cars more, and a lower rate of crashes means fewer cars are taken off the road due to damage.
And while new-car purchases are on the rise, many recent buyers likely haven't bought a new car in a long time.
ALSO SEE: U.S.P.S. 'Long Life' Vehicles Last 25 Years, But Age Shows Now
Buyers now keep new cars for an average 77.8 months--26 months longer than they did in 2006.
Used-car buyers keep their purchases an average 63 months, a 25-month increase.
This may still be due to the aftereffects of the Great Recession, which severely depressed car sales and caused the average age of cars to spike.
2004 Nissan Sentra

While showroom traffic is still strong and sales are at 10-year highs, IHS believes the average age of cars on U.S. roads will continue to increase, albeit more slowly.
It predicts the volume of vehicles aged zero to five years will increase 24 percent over the next five years, and the volume of sixto 11-year-old vehicles will decline by 11 percent.
MORE: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Average Vehicle Now 11.4 Years Old, Oldest Since WW2 (Aug 2013)
But the volume of cars aged 12 years or more will increase 15 percent by 2020, researchers say.
The average age of vehicles is expected to reach 11.6 years in 2016, and 11.7 years in 2018.
When those cars do get replaced, though, increasingly-strict efficiency standards mean it will almost certainly be with something that uses less fuel.
