Knowledge-based system for group technology
International Journal of Production Research
DOI of Published Version
In this paper, a knowledge-based system (KBGT) for solving the group technology problem is presented. The formulation of the group technology problem involves constraints related to machine capacity, material handling system capability, and machine cell dimensions. The KBGT has been developed for an automated manufacturing environment. It takes advantage of the developments in expert systems and optimization. Two basic components of the knowledge-based system, namely the knowledge-based subsystem and the heuristic clustering algorithm are discussed. Each partial solution generated by the clustering algorithm is evaluated for feasibility by the knowledge-based subsystem which modifies search directions of the algorithm. The KBGT is illustrated with a numerical example.

The Hellingly Hospital Railway
was a light railway
owned and operated by the East Sussex County Council
. It was used to deliver coal and passengers to Hellingly Hospital
, a psychiatric hospital
, via a spur from the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway
's Cuckoo Line
at Hellingly railway station
The railway was constructed in 1899 and opened to passengers on 20 July 1903, following its electrification in 1902. After the railway grouping of 1923
, passenger numbers declined so significantly that the hospital authorities no longer considered passenger usage of the line to be economical, and the service was withdrawn. The railway closed to freight in 1959, following the hospital's decision to convert its coal boilers to oil, which rendered the railway unnecessary.
The route took a mostly direct path from a junction immediately south of Hellingly Station to Hellingly Hospital, past sidings
known as Farm Siding and Park House Siding respectively, used as stopping places to load and unload produce and supplies from outbuildings of the hospital. Much of the railway has since been converted to footpath
, and many of the buildings formerly served by the line are now abandoned.
Construction and opening
In 1897, East Sussex County Council purchased of land at Park Farm, about three miles (5 km) north of Hailsham
, from the Earl of Chichester
, to be the site of a new county lunatic asylum
which would eventually become known as Hellingly...

For those with access to IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems online, PATH researcher Steven Shladover has written a 20 year retrospective of the organization. The abstract reads thusly:
The California Partners for Advanced Transit and Highways (PATH) Program was founded in 1986, as the first research program in North America focused on the subject now known as intelligent transportation systems (ITS). This paper reviews the history of the founding of PATH and of the national ITS program in the U.S., providing perspective on the changes that have occurred during the past 20 years.
Schladover explains well the significance of 20 years for the booming ITS field and some of the generational shifts that have occurred since its inception.

I designed a kernel function (to be used within SVM) which has the expression $tr(AB)$ in it. For efficient implementation of this, I was wondering if I could write $tr(AB)$ as an inner product: $\phi(A)^T \phi(B)$? What is the function $\phi()$?
share|improve this question
I'm not sure I understand your question (it would help if you eliminated or explained your jargon), but the obvious optimization is that you don't explicitly need to compute AB: tr(AB) is the sum of A_{ij}*B_{ji} over all pairs i,j. You can do this with a single pass over your matrices. – Darsh Ranjan Jan 14 '10 at 9:25
_USER_ you beat me by 3 minutes! I can explain some of the terminology. Imagine you have data in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (here it seems to be in $\mathbb{R}^{d\times d}$??) but want to work with it in $\mathbb{R}^D$, which you can accomplish by passing everything through a mapping $\Phi$. If $D \gg d$, this can be expensive. But in some cases your algorithm need only compute inner products $\langle \Phi(a), \Phi(b)\rangle$, in which case there may be a functin $k(\cdot,\cdot)$ which computes the same thing but with much less work than the explicit mapping. this is called the 'kernel trick'. – Matus Telgarsky Jan 14 '10 at 9:34
Note that you don't really need the explicit mapping $\phi$. What you want is a kernel $k(A, B)$ which has the property that $k(A, B) = \phi(A)^T \phi(B)$. Generally, you compute the kernel directly, instead of calculating the mapping and computing the dot product -- that's why it's called kernel 'trick'. In your case, it seems you want the kernel to be $k(A, B) = tr(AB)$. So it seems you want to know how to compute the trace efficiently, rather than what the mapping is. – user3035 Jan 14 '10 at 10:02
The non-efficiency-related part of this question is basic linear algebra: tr(AB) is an inner product on the space of nxn matrices and so you can find isometric isomorphisms from M_{nxn} to R^{n^2}. Any of these will do for the map phi. I do not know whether or not any of these will improve the efficiency in calculating the trace, but I doubt it. – Andrew Stacey Jan 14 '10 at 10:20
Sorry for being ambiguous. I know that I can implement $k(A,B)$ directly and avoid needing $\phi()$. But it would be nice if I have $\phi()$ because then, I can use a regular linear SVM on my $\phi()$ mapped vectors. This is much simpler and faster compared to implementing $k(A,B)$ and plugging it into SVM. – andinos Jan 14 '10 at 21:39

Matus is right. But if the matrices $A$, and $B$ have certain properties like being symmetric, or diagonal, then simply just vectorizing the matrices and taking their inner product would be equal to the $tr(AB)$.

If $A,B$ are arbitrary $n\times n$ matrices, by definition of trace, $\textrm{tr}(AB) = \sum_{i,j} A_{ij}B_{ji}$. This is $O(n^2)$, but just reading the entries of $A$ is $\Omega(n^2)$. Without any special structure on $A,B$, you probably can't do better.
If $A,B$ are (column) vectors, you probably mean the outer product $\textrm{tr}(AB^T) = \sum_i A_i B_i$.
Edit: andinos clarified to say he wants to know about the implicit mapping of the kernel function. Well I have bad news: It does not exist!! The proof works by showing there exist matrices $A,B$ such that the corresponding kernel matrix is not positive semi-definite. To finish, apply Mercer's theorem.
In particular, set $A = \left(\begin{array}{cc}1 & 1 \\\\ -1 & 1\end{array}\right)$ and $B = A^T = \left(\begin{array}{cc}1 & -1 \\\\ 1 & 1\end{array}\right)$. Therefore $\textrm{tr}(AB) = \textrm{tr}(AA^T) = 4$, and $\textrm{tr}(BA)$ is identical. On the other hand, $\textrm{tr}(AA) = \textrm{tr}(BB) = 0$. therefore, the kernel matrix $K$ is $\left(\begin{array}{cc}0 & 4 \\\\ 4 & 0\end{array}\right)$. Set $x = \left(\begin{array}{c} 1 \\\\ -1\end{array}\right)$, and observe that $x^T K x = -8 < 0$, and therefore $K$ is not PSD, so the kernel $k(A,B) = \textrm{tr}(AB)$ is not PSD.
On the other hand! If you had instead defined your kernel to be $k'(A,B) = \textrm{tr}(AB^T)$, notice that $k'(A,B) = \sum_{i,j}A_{ij}B_{ij} = \Phi(A)^T\Phi(B)$ where $\Phi$ simply takes its input matrix and outputs it as a column vector.

The term genius is fairly common in our language today. I wonder how many of you realise that the term originated with the old Arabian Knight's concept of the Genie, the magical creature that came in a bottle and had such wonderful powers. Laboratory scientists have as much fun as anybody else you know. One of the laboratory laws goes "In any laboratory experiment if something can go wrong it will". For this is a story about a planet size laboratory experiment in which something could go wrong…

The 13th technology on the manual reads:
After resolving one or more powerups gained from performing a Main action, you may pay 1 cocoa to gain an additional power-up (same Action Board)
While the main action part on the manual reads:
Pay the cost in gold as shown on the selected tile and place one of your Technology markers (wooden discs) on it to mark that you have acquired this Technology. Refer to the Appendix for an explanation of the ongoing benefit of each Technology tile.
After placing the Technology marker, advance once on one temple, depending on which column the selected Technology belongs to: for the left column, for the centre column, for the right column
Afterwards, power up one of your workers on the Alchemy (5) Action Board, unless you used the 3rd option when selecting the tile (you used a single power 4 or 5 worker to place your marker on a second-row Technology).
Therefore, you get the power-up after you have already received the technology, and advanced on a temple. Does this mean that when powering-up your die, can you immediately pay one cocoa to gain an additional power-up?
TLDR: Can you use the technology 13 power on the same die power-up you get from purchasing the technology?
No you can not.
From the FAQ file on BGG here the following Q and A is included.
Q: When do Technology benefits trigger? A: Each Technology triggers at most once during your turn. Most Technologies trigger after performing the Main action on the board (or boards) listed at the bottom of each Technology tile. No Technology will trigger during the turn when it was acquired.
I've tried to find evidence to back this up in the rules printed though and could not.

Accordion items can be added dynamically by passing the item and index value with the addItem method.
In the following demo, new items are added dynamically when you expand an Accordion header using expanded event.

Q. What are the differences between the 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz frequencies?
A. As radio waves travel the radio signals gradually lose energy. The higher the frequency of transmission, the quicker the radio wave will lose energy down to a point where it cannot be detected by a receiver. Higher frequency waves also lose energy quicker when trying to penetrate walls, trees, or other obstructions. If both a 900 MHz radio and a 2.4 GHz radio had the same output power and receive sensitivity and were compared side by side, the 900 MHz radio would get almost twice the range of the 2.4 GHz radio.
If deploying systems in the United States or Canada, either 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz can be used without additional government agency approvals. The European union and most of the Asian countries do not allow 900 MHz systems, so normally 2.4 GHz systems are deployed in those countries. Whether your preference is 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz, Digi has a variety of solutions to meet the needs of your application.

Chris Hadfield in his cover of Space Oddity, shot and recorded in space. Photo / Supplied
By now you may have seen Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield's video of his version of Space Oddity, the David Bowie song, shot and recorded in space.
Hadfield has been credited with making space interesting again, with his twitter and Facebook commentaries, posting videos on YouTube and taking beautiful photos of Earth (including some lovely shots from far above New Zealand). He's a character, obviously, and one who communicates as adroitly as a teenager - in transmedia.
Commander Hadfield had been up there since December 21st last year, and his team (Expedition 35) docked with the ISS after a two-day flight aboard a Soyuz TMA-07M. His most popular video had over 7.5 million views, with several more in the millions or hundreds of thousands, until Space Oddity which had surpassed 11 million views when I checked. More than a million people followed the commander's Twitter and Facebook accounts.
Gizmodo has posted a'supercut' of 100 seconds of his video efforts.
Hadfield is back on Terra firma now. Pavel Vinogradov has taken over as the International Space Sation commander, helping the three astronauts into the Soyuz capsule. And while Hadfield could have done all the transmedia he did with Windows' based laptops and Android tablets and smartphones, he didn't - the astronaut used an iPad.
In recording his many video transmissions from space, Hadfield used an iPad as a teleprompter thanks to the Teleprompt+ app. The Bowie song was recorded in space using Hadfield's iPad with Apple's GarageBand app, but the video was actually edited back on Earth by his son Evan.
Of course, iDevices have been in space before. There were two iPhone 4s on the last shuttle mission in 2011.
The iPhones ran an experimental app called SpaceLab for iOS, designed by Odyssey Space Research. Once the space shuttle Atlantis docked with the International Space Station, crew members used the iPhones to conduct four experiments thanks to the iPhones' cameras, gyroscopes, and other sensors. The step-by-step instructions for each experiment were contained within the app, so the astronauts didn't need printed instructions to direct them.
But an iPhone had gone beyond the atmosphere before that: in 2010, Brooklyn-based cinematographer Luke Geissbuhler, assisted by his son, launched an iPhone 4 and an HD video camera into space using a weather balloon. The balloon was launched from Newburgh, New York, and climbed to nearly 32kms above the surface of Earth in an hour. The balloon then burst and the package containing the iPhone and the camera fell back to the ground on a parachute.
The father-son team tracked the package using the iPhone's GPS and found it in a tree 48 kilometres away. They then successfully extracted the video and edited it - some of the images are beautiful.
I even joked a few months ago that the Mars Curiosity was powered by an old iMac, Apple, which isn't strictly true. It is a PowerPC variant, and PowerPCs were Mac CPUs until Apple made the big switch to Intel. PowerPC, an Apple-Motorola-IBM project, were then used in the Xbox.
The two on-board Mars Rover computers are called Rover Compute Elements. They operate at a lowly peak of 200 megahertz and one works at a time to control the Curiosity's forays across the surface of the Red Planet. Each computer's memory includes 256KB of EEPROM, 256MB of DRAM, and 2GB of flash memory.
The Mars-faring electronic brains controlling NASA rover actually have far less horsepower than microchips found in current smart phones. An Apple A5 processor at 800MHz is fully four times more powerful than the 200MHz chip aboard Curiosity. The 512MB of RAM on the iPhone 4S doubles what Curiosity packs, and if you've got a 64GB phone, that's 32 times more storage than the rover. but the rover has a plutonium reactor which is maybe a more dangerous than an iPhone battery, but it lasts a lot longer.
The low-powered CPU's real challenges are in programming genuinely mission-critical software. Now that's lean coding! Ben Cichy, a senior software engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, told CNet "What's hard about this, my phone has a processor that's 10 times as fast as the processor that's on Curiosity and it has 16 times as much storage as Curiosity has and my phone doesn't have to land anything on Mars. All my phone has to do is follow (a) Twitter feed."
The main advantage of the RAD750 PowerPC microprocessor is that it's virtually impervious to high-energy cosmic rays that would quickly cripple most computer chips. Not that it's going to come back and rescue us after a nuclear incident. CNet has a lot more info about the details of the Mars Curiosity CPUs.
But are there Samsung Galaxys in the galaxy? Not that I know of. But it has to be kind of inevitable.

Home » Do Guinea Fowl Lay Eggs?
Do Guinea Fowl Lay Eggs?
Guinea fowl, also called guineas, are game birds that are becoming popular among backyard poultry owners.
They are indigenous to Africa and one of the oldest gallinaceous birds. Guineas are largely disease-free, hardy, and vigorous birds.
Do guinea fowl lay eggs?
Guinea hens lay eggs but not during the winter months. Laying for the year commences in the spring and continues through the summer and fall. Guinea fowls usually stop laying eggs when the days start getting shorter.
Guinea Fowl on Grass
Except when broody, a guinea hen can lay an egg daily during her laying season. This can yield 6-7 eggs a week per hen.
Do Guinea Hens Lay Eggs?
Guinea hens lay eggs once they mature. The hens lay their first eggs in the first spring of adulthood.
Every day for the first 3 years, a guinea fowl will continue to lay eggs.
Guineas are not particular about where to lay their eggs. Once they find a suitable spot, they make their nests start laying.
Guinea hen nets are usually hard to find. Guineas prefer to nest in long grass, woods, or any place that gives them protection from predators.
When guinea hens are laying their eggs during the day, the male usually acts as a lookout keeping an eye out for predators.
Guineas can sometimes become communal layers. They will lay their eggs in one nest until the number of eggs is sufficient.
Sometimes, this number can be as many as 50. The hens also practice communal brooding, as they take turns sitting on the eggs.
How Many Eggs Do Guinea Hens Lay?
When guinea fowl mate in the wild, they do so in pairs. Domesticated guineas may also adopt this breeding style if there is an equal number of males to females.
These pairs typically wander off as the breeding season arrives to search for good nesting sites.
Guineas are known to be seasonal egg layers. They can lay eggs daily between April and October, with the frequency depending on their location. You can get an egg on most days during their laying season.
Three Guinea Fowl eggs
The number of eggs laid by a guinea hen is usually around 90-130 eggs per season.
On average, one can expect 100 eggs per season. For some prolific layers, like the Black Star and Rhode Island Red, you can expect around 300 eggs a year.
When compared to chickens, guinea hens lay eggs for a shorter period. Also, around 3-5 years of age, their egg production begins to slow down.
How Big Are Guinea Fowl Eggs Compared to Chicken and Duck Eggs?
Guinea fowl eggs are smaller than the eggs of a chicken or a duck.
On average, 2 guinea fowl eggs together add up to the size of a single duck egg or a large chicken egg.
Guinea fowl eggs are usually creamy with light brown spots. The small end of the eggs is more pointed than the egg of a chicken or a duck.
The yolk to white ratio of a guinea fowl egg is higher than that of a chicken egg. The eggshell is harder to crack open than that of a chicken egg.
At What Age Do Guinea Hens Start to Lay Eggs?
Guinea hens start laying eggs around 20-32 weeks of age. They usually lay their first eggs during the spring after they are hatched.
Guinea hens start laying eggs when daylight hours increase and the temperature starts getting warm
They are seasonal layers, and they only lay from spring through fall. In the offseason or the fall of the year they hatched, some young hens may lay a few random eggs.
Guinea Fowl eggs
Do Guinea Hens Make Good Mothers?
Unlike chicken hens, guinea hens do not make good mothers.
While this might sound harsh, here are some reasons why they don't make the best parents to their young.
 - Before all the eggs hatch, some guinea hens tire and are not broody. Some moms move their keets to a new nest without waiting for their remaining eggs to hatch.
 - Some moms stay until the hatch is complete and then get tired of motherhood. They will abandon their keets, who are left alone to die.
 - Some guinea hens end up taking the keets across a damp field where they get wet, freeze, or die.
 - When a guinea hen makes her nest inside a safe henhouse, the eggs will remain unharmed, keeping the keets dry and safe from predators. However, it may allow the rest of the flock to put the keets through a brutal pecking ritual, which they may not survive.
 - When in a coop with other adult birds, keets are exposed to contaminated bedding, worms, and coccidia.
 - In some cases, keets can end up drowning in water without the adults trying to save them.
 - You can discover a guinea hen nest with 50 eggs or more without a broody mom. Predators like snakes, raccoons, or skunks will find the nest and destroy it, eating all its contents and breaking the rest.
 - A mom can accidentally step on her keet, crushing it in the process.
 - Keets often go unwatched or without nurturing, and if they wander from the nest they are left to die.
Some guinea hens still make good moms. They do this by protecting their nest of eggs and keets the best way they can.
Guinea Fowls with Baby
Some guinea hens will try to protect the nest when there is a predator attack. They will hiss and dart at a predator that is bigger and stronger than them.
In some cases, a guinea hen may even die from a predator attack if she is broody outdoors.
How Long Do Guinea Fowl Eggs Need to Incubate?
The guinea fowl egg incubation period usually lasts between 26 to 28 days, which happens to be similar to that of turkeys.
Since guinea hens do not always make good mothers, you can get a chicken to brood around 25 guinea keets in your backyard.
Final Thoughts
Guinea fowl lay eggs, but they are not usually kept for their egg production.
They give around 100 eggs per year, which is significantly below what chickens produce.
If you are rearing guinea fowls for other reasons, having them lay eggs is a plus.
Guinea fowl only lay in warm seasons, so you should only expect eggs from them from spring through summer.

- Step 2: Take your time Take your time in deciding which prize to attempt before putting your money in the machine to avoid panicking as the clock ticks down.
- Step 3: Budget your money Set up a budget to avoid pumping in too much cash for a prize that may not be worth it.
- Step 4: Aim for neck or chest Aim for the neck or chest of the stuffed animal to try to get the claw all the around the prize and don't waste time with legs or arms.
- TIP: Round prizes such as balls must be hit dead center or the claw will cause them to pop out.
- Step 5: Time the payouts Time the payouts as most machines have a microchip that will give out a prize after a certain number of turns so your patience will be rewarded.
- FACT: The crane arm on the International Space Station is 57 feet long and has seven separate joints to help maneuver the large capsules into place.

Collecting biological records is essential to enable us to understand the biodiversity of Staffordshire.
Much of these records are collected by organised surveys, however, a significant proportion are supplied by the general public. Isolated records may not seem very useful, but when they are all brought together in the Local Records Centre
(LRC), they build up a detailed picture of the county.
This information is then used to inform the BAP process and via the LRC interactive distribution maps are available Staffordshire Ecological Record, Online Atlases
If you wish to send in any records to the LRC please visit the Staffordshire Ecological Record
page, where details of the information needed are included.

Let $A$, $B$ and $C$ be discrete countable groups. Let $\alpha$ be an action of $A$ on $B$ and let $\beta$ be an action of $B$ on $C$.
Question Does there always exist a group $G$ which has $A$, $B$ and $C$ as subgroups and such that the group generated by $A$ and $B$ is $A\ltimes B$ and the group generated by $B$ and $C$ is $B\ltimes C$?
One obvious situation when such a group $G$ exists is when the action $\beta$ extends to an action of $A\ltimes B$. Then we can take $G=(A\ltimes B)\ltimes C$. But I'm interested in situations when $\beta$ doesn't extend.
For example take $A$ to be the infinite cyclic group with generator $t$, $B$ to be the free group on infinitely many generators indexed by $\mathbb Z$ (denote the generators by $g_n, n\in \mathbb Z$), and $C$ to be the rational numbers. Let $g_n$ act on $C$ by multiplication by $n$ if $n\neq 0$ and by identity for $n=0$, and let $t$ act on $B$ by sending $g_n$ to $g_{n+1}$.
Question In this specific situation does there exist $G$ as above?

The solution below via HNN-extensions shows this works in general, by appealing to 'big' groups. An interesting further question is "When does there exist a group $G$ as above, generated by $A, B$ and $C$?" – Jonathan Kiehlmann Jul 7 '11 at 11:55
The amalgamated product is generated by $A,B,C$. You probably meant something else. – Mark Sapir Jul 7 '11 at 13:24

The answer to the specific question is "yes". Let $U$ be the semidirect product of $C$ and $B$. Then as $G$, you take the HNN extension of $U$ with the free letter $t$ and associated subgroups equal to $B$, with the automorphism provided by the shift of generators. The result then follows from the usual properties of HNN extensions. The same argument applies in general when $A$ is cyclic.
In general you can take the semidirect products and take their amalgamated product with amalgamated subgroup $B$.

text: 'BETI - Female Selective Abortion in India' is a graphic narrative based in India, that represents sex discrimination and gender bias through a cultural narrative with supplemental information on topics such as, science, laws and statistics. The book mainly focuses in the most extreme form of sex discrimination, female selective abortion, which is; is the termination of pregnancy based on the fetus being female. This occurs in select groups in India that sex discriminates due to cultural prejudice against females regardless of availability of resources and economy. The graphic narrative is to educate females on sex discrimination (female selective abortion) and why this leads to gender bias for women and gender imbalance in society in the future. This book fills the gap of information between the science relating to reproduction and sex and what the cultural misconceptions of sex (ie. gender) and reproduction are. Understanding these topics will within a narrative of a story with the right scientific infomration will enable them to make connections about gender based on a different context, through science as opposed purely through cultural perception.

'Designed solely' equipment: medical condition of end user
A product may be designed:
- to help with a range of medical conditions; or
- for general hospital use; or
- for medical use.
Not all of these conditions may render the sufferer chronically sick or disabled. This means that the product would not qualify as designed solely for use by a disabled person.
The same will apply where a product is designed for all sufferers of particular chronic conditions, such as back complaints, but a significant number of people with these conditions may not be rendered sick or disabled by their condition.
Only if the manufacturer can establish that only those suffering from the condition to such an extent that the person is disabled and would need the product, does it qualify for zero-rating.
These points are demonstrated in the Tribunal decisions for Princess Louise Scottish Hospital (1412) (see VRDP30000) and Aquakraft Ltd (2215) (see VRDP35000). Zero-rating was refused in both cases because the goods were:
- clearly general purpose; and
- of use to those suffering from short term sickness and injury.
The goods were for the use of hospital patients generally and the condition which the designer had in mind, although chronic, would not in all cases be sufficiently serious to render a person chronically sick or disabled. Zero-rating was therefore refused, because the goods could not be described as being designed solely for use by a chronically sick or disabled person.

10 things about the vuvuzela
The Vuvuzela has become the unofficial symbol of the 2010 World Cup - and seems to be loved and hated in equal measure. Here are 10 things you might not know about the tuneless horn.So what exactly is a vuvuzela?
It is plastic horn, brightly coloured, and seen in abundance at sporting events in South Africa. The first vuvuzelas seen at sporting events in the early 90s were made from a sheet of metal. A standard vuvuzela is 65cm long but some can be up to a metre long.Where do they originate?
No-one really knows. The most commonly-held belief is that it is related to the kudu horn that was blown to summon African villagers to meetings.
However, earlier this year, the Nazareth Baptist Church claimed the vuvuzela as its own - used by its members on pilgrimages - and threatened legal action to stop them being used at the World Cup.What does "vuvuzela" mean?
Again, it appears to be a matter of debate. Some think it comes from the Zulu word for "making noise". Others say it is township slang for "shower" because it "showers people with music". Many believe it means "pump up".How did it end up as a fixture of the football stadium?
The Nazarath Baptist Church says it "lost" the vuvuzela back in the 1990s when a supporter of South Africa's biggest football team visited the church. Unable to take the long metal trumpet inside the football grounds, he re-modelled it in plastic.
Vuvuzela-makers say they began to mass-produce the instrument in plastic when the original tin version began to make appearances at games during the 1990s.So describe the sound?
The typical pitch of a vuvuzela is said to be B flat below middle C.
On its own, it has been compared unflatteringly to an elephant passing wind. When there is a football terrace full of the instruments, the sound has been likened to a swarm of angry wasps.Annoying possibly, but harmful?
Recent tests found noise levels from a vuvuzela, at full volume and when pressed against your ear, equates to 127 decibels.
This is louder than a drum at 122 decibels, a chainsaw at 100 decibels and a referee's whistle at 121.8 decibels.
The Hear the World Foundation - set up by Swiss hearing products group Phonax to raise awareness about hearing loss - has warned that extended exposure to such noise risks permanent hearing loss.
They have been urging fans to use protection, such as ear plugs and ear muffs.
Some South African shopkeepers say they have run out of ear plugs called Vuvu-Stops.
Neil van Schalkwyk of Masincedane Sport - a vuvuzela-maker - says his firm has now produced an instrument that is 20 decibels lower than the older version.Any other health issues?
Well, a London doctor is warning that the vuvuzela could also spread colds and flu germs.
Dr Ruth McNerney, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, told The Associated Press that the instrument has the potential to infect those seated near a person blowing a vuvuzela because a "lot of breath goes through" it.
She said a recent study found that aerosols, tiny droplets which can carry flu and cold germs, were formed at the bottom of a vuvuzela after people had blown into them.
Those particles are small enough to stay suspended in the air for hours, and can enter into the airways of a person's lungs, Dr McNerney said.So what are people saying about the vuvuzela?
Several players complained about the vuvuzela when they were first heard during the Confederations Cup last year, a World Cup dress rehearsal.
Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk has banned them from his team's training sessions, and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo admitted this week: "It is difficult for anyone on the pitch to concentrate."
Even some fans watching matches on their television have reported having to put the sound on mute to escape the cacophany.Surely some people other than South Africans must like them?
Yes. They've had a ringing endorsement from Fifa President Sepp Blatter who says they will not be banned.
He said on Twitter that "Africa has a different rhythm, a different sound" and it is an important tradition among South African fans that should be celebrated.
England player Jamie Carragher says he will be taking some vuvuzelas home with him. "My kids have been on the phone and they want two. I've got two in my bag already".Has the controversy affected sales?
On the contrary. Neil van Schalkwyk says his firm has sold 1.5m vuvuzelas in Europe since October and expects sales of up to 20 million rand ($2.6m; £1.7m) over the course of the tournament.
Brandon Bernardo of the vuvuzela.co.za website told Reuters news agency they could churn out at least 10,000 instruments a day. "We're completely sold out," he said.
Furthermore, a Dutch designer firm has released a Vuvuzela 2010 app. According to its website, they have had 750,000 downloads of the application.
Even without the World Cup, South Africa's vuvuzela industry is said to be worth around 50 million rand ($6.45m; £4.4m).


can have a same projective closure. For example, look at $P^1(C)$, then $C$ is an affine open subset, and $C-{0}$ is also an affine open subset. But in any case, if two affine varieties have a same projective closure, they are birational.

Water Tanks
We all know that water is one of the most precious things that we have and we also know that it can get pretty scarce at times and as a result rain water tanks have now become compulsory in new built homes in most states across Australia.
Architect Sally Dominguez wanted to do her bit for sustainability and didn't have space for a traditional tank so she designed one herself. The difference between the waterHOG and a lot of other tanks is that it's small in size but the designed so that you can slot as many of the tanks together as you need or have space for. It can go up against a wall; it can go under a deck, under the ground, down in the basement, upright or lying down. $260
TankMaster Donut and Bagel Underground
As the name suggests these tanks need to go underground. The Donut shape holds 3000 litres and costs $2775. The Bagel holds 5000 litres and costs $3873. This design is great if you want your tank out of sight, but it is hard to detect any leaks or make any repairs once it's installed.
So if you got a house and use water, it's time to take in a tank. You'll be helping to create a sustainable future and your water bills will be way down. You know councils give rebates of up to $600.

30. Why must weeds be removed?
Weeds take mineral salts out of the soil, so the rice cannot use them and will be undernourished. Weeds get in the way of harvesting. Weeds prevent the rice from growing and tillering well.
What does tillering mean? We say the rice tillers when It develop several stems on the same plant. The buds at the bottom of the stem develop and make new stems.
After tillering, each grain you have sown will have several stems, and every stem makes a panicle (or head) of rice. But weeds prevent tillering.
Why must weeds be removed
31. When to weed.
If you have flooded your field before transplanting, no weeds will have grown. But when you transplant, you drain the water away, and then the weeds can grow.
Weed 2 weeks after transplanting. Pull the weeds out by hand.
Later more weeds will have grown. You must weed again.
Every time when weeds have grown, you must pull them out.
This means a lot of work, but costs no money. Rice grows much better in a field without weeds, and you will get a much bigger yield.


text: This study blends the simplicity and empirical success of univariate GARCH processes with an easy to estimate and interpret dynamic correlation estimator. A two step estimator and a simple test are employed to verify the null of constant correlation against an alternative of dynamic conditional correlation. The real strength of the DCC estimation process is its flexibility of univariate GARCH but not the complexity of conventional multivariate GARCH, therefore large correlation matrices can be estimated. One of the primary motivations for this study is that the correlations between assets are not constant through time. The focus of the study is hence to explore the empirical applicability of the multivariate DCC-GARCH model when estimating large conditional covariance matrices. Among the adopted models, DCC-GARCH(1,1)- t can be considered as the best model in measuring VaR, and DCC-GARCH(1,1) can be considered as the second best, while SMA is in the last. The results have suggested that a more complete model which carries more time series characteristics may outperform the others in the sample.

Rating with Confidence: How Rating Scales Affect Future WOM Behavior
42 Pages Posted: 18 Sep 2013
Date Written: September 17, 2013
Firms collecting product ratings are able to choose the scale design (e.g., 2-pt vs. 5-pt scales) for consumers to provide rating scores. While previous research on survey methodology has studied the impact of scale design on measurement reliability and validity, there has been little work documenting the potential impact of this choice following the rating event. The present research argues that the rating scale may affect a rater's likelihood of engaging in subsequent word-of-mouth (WOM) behavior. Specifically, conducting four experiments, we show that participants' WOM intentions are higher after evaluating their consumption experience on a 5-point rating scale than on a 2-point rating scale. We introduce a new construct – "rating certainty" – which reflects a rater's certainty belief regarding her chosen rating score and which mediates the relationship between rating scale and WOM intentions.

Community Assessments (Rates)
MWRA is a "wholesaler" to its member communities.
MWRA's charges ("community assessments ") typically represent about 45% of the amount that communities bill their customers. The proportion varies considerably among communities.
MWRA WATER AND SEWER RATE METHODOLOGY
How MWRA sets water and sewer assessments to for communities:
In setting water rates, MWRA first identifies through its budgeting process the total amount of revenue that must be raised to run the water system. Charges are calculated using a flat rate per million gallons – $3,032.39 for FY2013 – times the metered water use by a community in the last full calendar year.
Sewer charges are computed on a proportional allocation basis utilizing total flow, contributing population and census population for each community. The total amount of required revenue for the sewer system is allocated either to operating costs or capital costs. Operating costs are allocated to each community based on the average of the prior three calendar years' total flow, with adjustments for strength of flow.
Capital costs, including debt service, are allocated to each community based on a combination of (1) average of the prior three years' peak month wastewater flow and average concentrations of total suspended solids and biochemical oxygen demand; (2) the proportion of the population of the community that is served by the local sewer system; and (3) the proportion of the community's U.S. census population to the total census population in the sewer system.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR BILL
If you live in an MWRA community, your water and sewer bills come from from your local water and/or sewer department. If you have questions or concerns about your water/sewer bill, you should contact your local water/sewer department. Click here for links to local departments.

What is the significance of the veil in the Harry Potter series? What does it mean? Why is it never explained?
When asked, JK Rowling responded saying: It's been there as long as the Ministry itself.
As stated on the Veil page on the Harry Potter Wikia:
The veil is located deep within the Department of Mysteries, which contains many of mysteries of the wizarding world. I believe the significance of it is greater than the mystery it represents. As J.K. Rowling has said, "It's been there as long as the Ministry itself."
This artifact presents something historically significant, although it is impossible to say how. In the fifth movie and book, it is significant because Bellatrix shot a spell at Sirius and sent him through the veil, never to be seen again. In the movie, he was dead before he entered the veil, having taken an Avada Kedavra curse. In the book, the spell Bellatrix used may not have been the Killing Curse and so the veil may have been Sirius' cause of death, rather than a method of body disposal.

About Tensile Fabric Structures
Designing of interesting roof forms have become possible with the use of tensile fabric structures in UAE. These structures have been used in buildings since 1970s. Today they are used to give dramatic forms to architectural works. They offer variety to roofing forms in terms of translucency, colour, clear span and softness. Tensile fabric structures are lightweight and can be created into three dimensional forms by applying tension. Tensile structures are usually supported by as masts, rings or beams which work as compression or bending elements. These structures are resistant to fire, rain, sun and wind. They are also resistant to damage caused by blunt objects, but not to sharp ones.


China says no cover-ups using state secrecy as excuse
Updated February 04, 2014 11:02:01
China has unveiled new rules telling officials not to cover up what should be publicly available information using the excuse it is a state secret.
State media said the new mandate, due to come into force on March 1, was a move towards greater government transparency.
Government departments "must not define as a state secret information which by law ought to be public", the official Xinhua news agency said on Sunday.
The rules also state that "the scope of what is secret should be adjusted in a timely manner according to changes in the situation".
Officials who discover that state secrets have been compromised will have to report the problem within 24 hours and will be punished if they cover up the leak or fail to report it.
But the rules offer no explanation for what public information will be covered that cannot be called a state secret.
China has notoriously vague state secret laws, covering everything from the number of people executed every year to industry databases and even pollution figures.
Information can also be retroactively labelled a state secret.
The issue received international attention in 2009 when an Australian citizen and three Chinese colleagues working for mining giant Rio Tinto were detained for stealing state secrets during the course of tense iron ore negotiations.
The government has come under pressure from its own people to be more open, especially on sensitive issues like the environment, which have no obvious implications for national security.
Chinese officials, particularly at the local level, often seek to invoke secrecy laws to prevent embarrassing problems that could lead to punishment, such as police brutality or pollution, from being reported to more senior officials.

Alligator shear
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 (Redirected from Crocodile shears)
Jump to: navigation, search
An alligator shear, historically known as a lever shear[1] and sometimes as a crocodile shear,[2] is a metal-cutting shear with a hinged jaw, powered by a flywheel or hydraulic cylinder. Alligator shears are generally set up as stand-alone shears, however there are types for excavators. The jaw size can range from 4 to 36 in (100 to 910 mm) long. They are generally used to cut steel members, such as rebar, pipe, angle iron or I-beams.[3][4]
Older alligator shears were powered by a flywheel. These shears ran continuously, which posed a safety hazard. Now alligator shears are hydraulically actuated. When actuated, the piston arm extends and slowly closes the upper jaw of the alligator shear, which passes alongside the bed or lower jaw of the shear to perform the cut.[4]
Alligator shears are used for cutting long-length metal stock or scrap, generally where accuracy is not an important consideration, and the size or shape of the material makes other cutting or shearing options impracticaloften the only other cutting option is cutting with a torch. Alligator shears are often used in conjunction with large metal shredders in the metal recycling industry, to 'clean' or prepare scrap for shredding by removing unwanted fittings or other parts the shredder will not accept.
The safety requirements for other powered metalworking shears are contained in ANSI B11.4, but alligator shears are specifically exempted from that standard. Federal OSHA and various state OSHA programs have requirements for guarding alligator shears, and newly manufactured alligator shears are provided with guards that adjust to the size of the stock or scrap being cut. The purpose of this guard, however, is to prevent pieces of metal from being ejected during cutting. Such a guard also prevents inadvertent exposure of the operator's hands, but does not conform to more stringent 'point of operation' guarding requirements.
In an interpretive letter dated June 24, 1981, Federal OSHA discussed the guarding dilemma presented by the alligator shear.
In instances where the shear is exclusively used for routine cuts on standardized stock, safeguarding of the point of operation is definable. In other instances, the operator is safeguarded from exposure to the point of operation by the physical size and configuration of the material being cut.
These practical considerations for guarding are not exclusive to alligator shears. A much more common type of equipment, the press brake, also requires point of operation guarding when used with standardized stock, but not with large-dimension stock.

Sales and Use Tax Calculation feature
The result is that you can use the KampData TaxEngine to calculate tax outside of Microsoft Dynamics GP with no additional tax setup required.
Call the DocCalculateTax method to calculate or re-calculate the tax. When this method is called, tax detail records will be created in the Transaction Tax table. When an order is created outside of Dynamics and subsequently imported into Dynamics, Tax Detail records should be created in the appropriate Dynamics transaction tax table. For SOP this table is the Sales Taxes Work And History table. The following tax detail data can be retrieved from the Transaction Tax table or by using the KampData TaxEngine methods and properties such as the following:
- DetailTaxDetailID property
- DetailAccountIndex property
- DetailTaxedAmount property
- DetailTaxAmount property
The document tax details can be retrieved as an ArrayList using the DocTaxDetails method. Alternately you can step through the tax details one by one using DocTaxDetail method. The number of tax details available to step through can be retrieved using the DocTaxDetailsCount method.

(Ocean County) teachers Sue Gethard, Jane Hall, and Regina Balsys received a $3,388 grant from the NJEA Frederick L. Hipp Foundation for Excellence in Education to implement their project, Between Friends. Working with the local chapter of the Association of Retarded Citizens (ARC), students will incorporate the values advocated through character education in an educational and social setting within the ARC facility. The students will meet the ARC clients at a luncheon at the ARC center. The ARC clients have a contract with the telephone company and will show the students how to make "boards" that are used in the telephones. Students will share life experiences and participate in recreational and seasonal activities throughout the school year. At the end of the program, students will create a memories album to present to their ARC friends.
The goal is to foster respect and understanding for the developmentally-disabled population. By participating in daily activities of ARC clients, students will truly understand their needs and desires. Between Friends can bridge the gap between the unknown and the understood.

text: Bar straightening is an important work before the bar is applied as qualified products. In this paper, the mechanics of the straightening process is analyzed in detail on the base of conjugate quadric theory. A simulation program is developed with the investigation of straightening process as well. The equations, which describe roll contour curve and the longitudinal section, are given and simulated in computer. And a brief method of designing and drawing the straightening roll contour curve is introduced.


A workflow is what you use to define what should happen when a form on your website is submitted. This could be sending an email with the information from the form or it could be setting up a notification in a tool like Slack.
 The most common workflow is to present a "Thank you" message when a form is submitted, and then also send the email to a designated mail inbox.
 In your Umbraco Uno website a workflow has already been set up for you, and you only need to choose which email you want to notify, when a form has been submitted.
 In this article you will learn how to start using the default workflow, and you will also find information on how to set up your own custom workflows.
 Please be aware that you will need to fill out the Contact form email field, in the General settings page found under Settings in the Content section.
 This requires you to have set up a form. If you don't have a form set-up yet, you can learn how to do that in the Setting up a form section.
 Finding the workflows
 In this part, we will learn how to enter the configuration menu for workflows. We will be working with a form that contains the following:
 - A Name field using a short answer
 - An Email field using a short answer
 - A Question using a long answer
 This is how you get into the configuration of your workflow:
 1. Navigate to the Forms section of the backoffice.
 2. Here, select the form you want to add a workflow to.
 3. At the bottom of the page, you will find a section containing a checkmark saying on submit.
 4. Click Configure workflow.
 5. The pop op window will contain the workflow that currently exists.
 Editing the existing workflow
 If you choose an empty form when setting up a new form, it will come with a working workflow. You will have to make a slight update to it before it functions optimally. This can be done in the configuration menu for workflows.
 1. Click the box Send template email to.
 2. In the field called Sender email, you should add something like [email protected]
 3. It is recommended to choose Igloo template.
 4. Hit submit and then hit submit in the next menu as well.
 Now the workflow will be working optimally if you followed the steps to point.
 Creating a custom workflow
 In this section, you will learn how to make a custom workflow that sends an email to your inbox of choice.
 1. First, give the workflow the name you want it to have in the Workflow Name field.
 2. Put a checkmark in the Active* so that the workflow is active.
 3. The Include Sensitive Data will be left unchecked unless your form contains sensitive data.
 4. Ensure that the Email is set to the email which should receive replies from forms.
 5. Next up is the Sender Email. Here you can add something like [email protected]
 6. If you want to reply directly to the customer from the forms reply, you can add {email} to the ReplyToEmail this will fetch the email from the field called email in the form.
 7. Next, you have the option to choose the subject of the email.
 8. In the next field, you can pick a template. It is recommended to use Igloo-template.cshtml.
 9. Finally, leave Attachments unchecked, unless you have an upload-field in the form, and want to receive the uploaded files through the workflow.
 this is the workflow settings
 The above is for setting up a workflow from scratch. This will be needed if you choose any of the two forms templates coming with the basic install of Umbraco Uno.

Gets a value that indicates whether this element has been initialized, either during processing by a XAML processor, or by explicitly having its EndInit method called.
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
This property may also be true if this element has been moved within the logical tree such that it has a new parent element, and therefore becomes reloaded again.
This property is useful if you also are using BeginInit and EndInit. Elements in the logical tree that is loaded by a XAML processor are assured to be initialized. Elements not in the logical tree are initialized when EndInit is called. In absence of any specific handling of BeginInit and EndInit, this will happen as soon as the constructor returns the initialized result.

In this part of the lab, you must write a program in C that prints the temperature at equally spaced points on a triangular plate.
We assume that the triangular plate that is enclosed by the lines x = 0 and y = 0 and x + y =100. Start by sketching this region on a piece of paper. The temperature at a point (x,y) on this plate is given by:
T(x,y) = sin( x + y ) e -(x+y)/100
Your program must:
print the temperature at points spaced 20 units apart in the x-direction (starting at x = 0 ) and 10 units apart in the y-direction (starting at y = 0)
print the temperature to 5 decimal places in a field of width 9
Here is the expected output given the specification provided above:
-0.16728 -0.44658 -0.18628
-0.15914 0.38430 0.36347
0.49946 -0.16728 -0.44658 -0.18628
-0.73195 -0.15914 0.38430 0.36347
0.74746 0.49946 -0.16728 -0.44658 -0.18628
-0.49225 -0.73195 -0.15914 0.38430 0.36347
0.00000 0.74746 0.49946 -0.16728 -0.44658 -0.18628
Note that the first line of output above corresponds to the row y = 100 while the last line corresponds to y = 0.
Write your program in such a way that the separation between points can be changed easily.
You will find the following functions in the library math.h useful:
double sin( double angle ); /* returns the sine of angle */
double exp( double num ); /* returns e^num */
Having some trouble with this problem..anyone have some ideas for a solution?

The Equipment tool offers you a simple and convenient way to insert non-structural, standalone elements such as pieces of furniture, hidro-sanitary equipments or electrical appliances to your projects. Equipments are based on Part shapes, which allow them to benefit from the solidity and possibilities of BRep geometry, and generate nice views when rendered to plan and section views.
As of version 0.17, equipment objects also have a DataHiRes property where a Mesh object can be attached. Equipment objects can then be made to display that mesh in the 3D view instead of their shape, which allows to use any high-resolution mesh objects such as detailed pieces of furniture commonly found on websites.

As part of our Science topic on Plants, Year 5 were given the opportunity to dissect lilies. We have been learning about reproduction in plants and found out that a flower has both male and female parts. All living things need to make more of themselves so that their species does not die out. Reproduction is the process by which new living things are made.
We dissected a lily to identify all of the parts of a flower, particularly the male and female parts. We labelled and measured the different parts and used a magnify glass to study them closer!

The Lainzer Tiergarten is a 24.50 km² (6,054-acre) wildlife preserve in the southwest corner of Vienna, Austria, 80% of it being covered in woodland. It dates back to 1561, when Ferdinand I of Austria created it as a fenced-in hunting ground for his family to use. Since 1919, it has been open to the public. Its name consists of its location by the Lainz district of Vienna's 13th District, and Tiergarten, which means zoo (literally, "animal garden").
The Lainzer Tiergarten is located mostly in Vienna's 13th district, with a small adjacent portion lying in Laab im Walde, Lower Austria. The Wien River is located to its north, the Liesingerbach to its south.
The Lainzer Tiergarten was created by Emperor Ferdinand I in 1561, when the area was fenced off by a wooden fence, to allow for a private hunting ground. In 1781, the wooden fence was replaced by a stone wall. After the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the hunting grounds became a public nature preserve, and have remained so ever since, with the exception of the time period of 1940 to 1955, when the entire grounds were closed. An admission fee existed until 1973, after which the preserve became accessible for free.
A large portion of the Lainzer Tiergarten was lost after World War I, when the Friedenstadt ("Peace City") neighborhood was constructed in its eastern portion. The old wall can still be seen in the Hörndlwald woods east of the Lainzer Tor.
Due to construction of the Westautobahn in the 1960s, a corner in the northwest of the preserve was also lost. This time there was compensation, however, as a portion of the Laaber Wald, adjacent to the southwest corner, was annexed.
The preserve is surrounded by approximately 22 kilometers (14 mi) of wall. There are seven gates, with different operating hours. Clockwise these are:
- Lainzer Tor (main gate)
- Laaber Tor
- Sankt Veiter Tor
The entire preserve is open for approximately nine months of the year, from early March to early November. In the remaining months only the park around the Hermesvilla, accessible from the Lainzer Tor is open. Between Christmas and the New Year, the entire park opens, but is only accessible from the Lainzer Tor and Nikolaitor.
Lainzer Tor
As it is open year-round, and is home to a visitor center, the Lainzer Tor is the preserve's main gate. It is also the origin and the terminus of a 2.2 km (1.4 mi) walk to the Hermesvilla, which can often also be ridden via horse carriage. Public restrooms are also located near the gate, as is a water fountain. This is also one of two gates that has a parking lot.
The Lainzer Tor is located at the end of Hermesstraße, and is reachable using the 60B bus, which connects the gate to the 60 and 62 trams line at 15- to 30-minute intervals. These tram lines can be taken from the stop Hermesstraße, and connect to multiple U-Bahn and S-Bahn lines. Line 62 can also be taken directly from the Vienna Staatsoper to Hermesstraße.
The Gütenbachtor is located on Gütenbachstraße, and accesses the southeastern corner of the Lainzer Tiergarten. It also features a water fountain and a parking lot, but is a 45-minute walk from the nearest public transportation, regional bus line 254.
Laaber Tor
The Laaber Tor is located by the Lower Austrian town of Laab am Walde. It accesses a separate corner of the Lainzer Tiergarten that was added in the 1960s as a compensation for territory that was lost in the north of the preserve when a highway was built. Visitors using this gate will pass the Dianator, which was the gate in this corner before the annexation of additional land. The Laaber Tor also has a water fountain.
Similar to the Gütenbachtor, the only public transportation within reach is the regional bus line 254, which is a 15-minute walk from this gate.
The Pulverstampftor is located in the northwest corner of the preserve, near the Auhof neighborhood of Vienna's 14th district. It features a water fountain, and can be accessed from the Umspannwerk Auhof stop of the regional bus line 151 from Hütteldorf (five-minute walk).
Due to its location near the Hütteldorf railway station, the Nikolaitor is an important gate of the Lainzer Tiergarten. Hütteldorf can be accessed with the U-Bahn U4, S-Bahn S3/S15, S45, and S50, tram line 49, as well as multiple regional bus lines. From the station it is a 10-minute walk across the Wien River to Nikolaigasse. This gate also features a water fountain.
The Adolfstor was located along the eastern wall of the Lainzer Tiergarten. It is now closed until further notice.
Sankt Veiter Tor
The Sankt Veiter Tor is directly accessible using a special hourly-served branch of the 55B bus line from the Ober Sankt Veit U-Bahn station, which only runs during the main season. Higher-frequented bus lines to Hütteldorf and the terminus of the 62 tram line, Wolkersbergenstraße, are available by walking down Hanschweg to Stock im Weg.
Locations in the preserve
There are three eateries, two scenic viewpoints, and one museum located within the Lainzer Tiergarten.
Hermesvilla and park
Franz Joseph I of Austria commissioned the construction of the Hermesvilla, which was completed in 1886, and served as a getaway mansion for his wife. Today it serves as a museum and also contains a restaurant and café, which is highly frequented due to its close location to the Lainzer Tor. The property around the Hermevilla is a special area of the Lainzer Tiergarten, fenced off from the rest of the preserve. Separate gates on the paths leading deeper into the park allow access to the larger section when this is open.
Hirschgstemm and Rohrhaus
Besides the Hermesvilla, visitors to the Lainzer Tiergarten can also eat and drink at the Hirschgstemm and Rohrhaus eateries. These are located deeper in the preserve than the Hermesvilla, but also feature full menus.
The Hubertuswarte is an observation tower, built in 1927, and located on the Kaltbründel Berg, the highest point in the preserve (508 meters/1667 ft). From the top of the tower, visitors have a 360-degree view of the region, including Vienna and neighboring villages.
Wiener Blick
Closer to the city side of the Lainzer Tiergarten, the Wiener Blick offers a view of the city from 434 m (1424 ft). In July 2002, this observation point was visited by the Japanese Emperor Akihito and his wife Michiko.

Klein Grass, Panicum Coloratum, is a warm season perennial bunchgrass that is planted in the southwestern portion of the United States for hay production and grazing. Klein Grass is a native grass of Africa and was first introduced into the United States in the 1950's.
Klein Grass is grown primarily as a pasture grass but in recent years it has been farmed to make hay in the Imperial Valley area of California. Klein Grass can grow up to 1 meter tall and is a fine stemmed leafy plant. Klein Grass is palatable and nutritious for cattle. When Klein Grass is grown for hay it is typically harvested at a younger stage of growth. Harvesting at a younger stage helps to produce a fine stem, soft and leafy grass hay that is very palatable and nutritious for many types of animals.
Grading for Klein Grass Hay is based on visual inspection where we evaluate the color, leafiness, texture and purity. BVT has three grades of Klein Grass: Premium, #1, and #2.
|Premium||Bright green color with minimal bleach,leafy and soft texturefree of any other grasses or weeds|
|#1||Good green color with 10% bleach maximum,leafy with good texture and free of any grasses or weeds|
|#2||Fair to good color with up to 25% windrow bleach. Can have a harder texture and small amounts of other grass mix.|


text: Extraction of map objects such roads, rivers and buildings from high resolution satellite imagery is an important task in many civilian and military applications. We present a semi-automatic approach for road detection that achieves high accuracy and efficiency. This method exploits the properties of road segments to develop customized operators to accurately derive the road segments. The customized operators include directional morphological enhancement, directional segmentation and thinning. We have systematically evaluated the algorithm on a variety of images from IKONOS, QuickBird, CARTOSAT-2A satellites and carefully compared it with the techniques presented in literature. The results demonstrate that the algorithm proposed is both accurate and efficient.

The Adventures of Valdo & Marie The Adventures of Valdo & Marie is an educational game for kids. The player takes the role of Valdo who is aboard a 16th century Portuguese ship heading for Japan. On the journey, they will explore exotic lands and deal with pirates, sharks, and storms. The main objective of the game is to gather the scattered pieces of a treasure map and reveal a mysterious adventure.
Most of the gameplay consists of the usual adventure activities: searching the environment, collecting items and solving puzzles. Most of them are of the classic item based kind but there are also a few dialogue and logic puzzles. Additionally the player has to solve a few action based mini games, e.g. a Soko-Ban or a Lemmings variant. It is possible to bypass some puzzles entirely which has a impact later in the game: either getting stuck without the possibility of going back or receiving another of the nine endings.
The educational part of the game consists mostly of the historically accurate foundation of the story and the environment. There are also many additional information in text form to read. Some puzzles require this knowledge to be solved, e.g. about ship speed. [source:mobygames]

39.12 Faces
One way to represent a face is as a property list of attributes, like (:foreground "red" :weight bold). Such a list is called an anonymous face. For example, you can assign an anonymous face as the value of the face text property, and Emacs will display the underlying text with the specified attributes. See Special Properties.
More commonly, a face is referred to via a face name: a Lisp symbol associated with a set of face attributes22. Named faces are defined using the defface macro (see Defining Faces). Emacs comes with several standard named faces (see Basic Faces).
Some parts of Emacs require named faces (e.g., the functions documented in Attribute Functions). Unless otherwise stated, we will use the term face to refer only to named faces.
Function: facep object
This function returns a non-nil value if object is a named face: a Lisp symbol or string which serves as a face name. Otherwise, it returns nil.
For backward compatibility, you can also use a string to specify a face name; that is equivalent to a Lisp symbol with the same name.


§33-46A-2. Definitions.
(a) "Administrative fee" means the amount charged to a client-employer by a PEO for professional employer services. It does not include amounts paid by a client-employer to the PEO for wages and salaries, benefits, payroll taxes, withholding or assessments paid by the PEO to or on behalf of covered employees under the professional employer agreement.
(b) "Client-employer" means an employer who enters into a professional employer agreement with a PEO.
(c) "Covered employee" means a person employed by a client-employer for whom certain employer responsibilities are shared or allocated pursuant to a PEO agreement. Persons who are officers, directors, shareholders, partners and managers of the client-employer and who perform day-to-day operational services for the client-employer will be covered employees only to the extent expressly set forth in the professional employer agreement.
(d) "PEO group" means two or more PEOs that are majority owned or commonly controlled by the same entity, parent or controlling persons.
(e) "Person" means a natural person or a legal entity, including, without limitation, a sole proprietorship, firm, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust or corporation.
(f) "Professional employer agreement" means a written contract by and between a client-employer and a PEO under which a PEO contracts to provide professional employer services for an administrative fee.
(g) "Professional employer organization" or "PEO" means a person engaged in the business of providing professional employer services, regardless of its use of the term, or conducting business as a "staff leasing company," "registered staff leasing company," "employee leasing company," "administrative employer," or any other name.
