Train dispatching is a task that requires the absolute coordination of various elements for the safe and efficient movement of railroad traffic. Train dispatchers manage the entire process of the use of railroad tracks. On the surface, train dispatching seems a simple task that includes routing scheduled trains that arrive on time to predefined tracks, but things are not as simple as they seem.
There are hundreds of unprecedented scenarios that require train dispatchers in the USA to make dynamic decisions. In this post, we will look at the common challenges professional train dispatchers face in train dispatching.
Delays in train arrival
The art of anticipation is key to efficient railroad traffic management. Train dispatchers take various factors into account, such as the characteristics of the train, the conditions of the track, the weather and the time of day, which can influence the movement of a train on the track. But still, delays are inevitable. Delays in the arrival of one train has the potential to disrupt the entire predefined schedule and routing. This requires dynamic decision-making to ensure that delays do not affect the schedule of other trains. Even if they do, the impact should be minimized.
This is the most common challenge faced by train dispatchers. Scheduled maintenance is easy to manage but track outages, sudden track repairs and maintenance, and unnoticed changes in the physical characteristics of tracks can disturb an existing operating plan. Train dispatchers need to re-route trains and ensure that priority trains containing hazardous materials or restricted shipments pass on time. In the case of scheduled maintenance, the focus of the train dispatcher is to facilitate maintenance when tracks are least busy.
High demand on track usage
Considering railroad is the cheapest way to haul freight overland, you can assume that track usage is always in high demand. According to the Association of American Railroads (AAR), the U.S. freight train system leads the world in volume of traffic, revenue, the amount of freight hauled, affordability, miles of track and other measures. It is the highly-skilled train dispatchers of professional freight dispatch services that monitor train movement beyond their territory, maintain familiarity with scheduled trains, destinations, times of arrivals and departures, balance multiple demands placed on-track usage, anticipate delays and make rapid decisions to ensure high demand is served in the best possible manner.
Every now and then, unexpected events occur, sometimes due to weather conditions, sometimes due to mechanical failures, sometimes due to natural obstructions and sometimes due to alleged violations of operating rules. Train dispatchers don't just coordinate the traffic movement but are also responsible for incident reporting. Managing such unprecedented scenarios requires dynamic decision-making, good communication and cooperation.
These are the common challenges faced by train dispatchers.
If you are looking for a good train dispatcher to manage train dispatching, you can hire our RailRCS professional GCOR and NORAC-qualified train dispatchers.
Our dispatchers are fully-trained on physical characteristics, GCOR/NORAC operating rules, hazardous materials, security awareness, Federal Hours of Service laws and various other important operational materials.

I'm trying to find a way to get the text in a Visio shape to shrink to fit the width of the shape, otherwise leave the font at the default.
Is there a shapesheet function I can use to change the font size of the text so that it doesn't exceed the width of the shape?
Ultimately I'd like to be able to assign this when automatically building the shape using VBA, so if there's some way to get the width of text that way, maybe I can do that.

You can resize the font of the text block using automation if the text exceeds the size of the shape. I found that the following works.
Open the shape's shapesheet (Window->Show Shapesheet) and add the user section (Insert->Section->User-defined Cells). Put this formula in the value cell for User.Row_1:
After the shape text changes, get the value of the user cell. in c#:
double scale = shape.get_CellsSRC((short)IVisio.VisSectionIndices.visSectionUser, (short)IVisio.VisRowIndices.visRowUser, (short)IVisio.VisCellIndices.visUserValue).ResultIU;
Then set the font, and the TextMargins (for any that are non-zero) with the following (assuming the normal font size is 12 and the left margin is 4pt.:
shape.get_CellsSRC((short)IVisio.VisSectionIndices.visSectionCharacter, 0, (short)IVisio.VisCellIndices.visCharacterSize).FormulaU = (scale*12).ToString() + "pt";
shape.get_CellsSRC((short)IVisio.VisSectionIndices.visSectionObject, (short)IVisio.VisRowIndices.visRowText, (short)IVisio.VisCellIndices.visTxtBlkLeftMargin).FormulaU = (scale * 4).ToString() + "pt";

I don't know of a way to size text to the shape unless you change the font size, but there are ways to size shapes to the text instead of the other way around.
share|improve this answer
Yeah, my shapes can't be resized the way they're used, so the text has to just fit into the shape as it exists. Maybe that link will show me how to do it the other way...Thanks – Jon Fournier Dec 9 '09 at 17:20

Do Fish Tanks Need Light? Can I Turn Them Off At Night?
You've got yourself a new fish tank and you are all excited. But something is troubling you. Does my fish tank need lighting?
Let me answer it as clearly as possible:
Your fish tank does need lighting and you can turn them off at night. However, the amount depends on the type of fish and the environment you want to create.
The answer might seem simple but there are several nuances to this subject. From the type of fish you plan on keeping to the type of plants you want, lighting plays a crucial role. How crucial? Read on to find out.
Why Fish Tanks Need Lighting?
Ask any seasoned fish owner and he will tell you this:
Fish are at their peak health when the tank resembles their natural habitat.
This is not a surprise. Fish, at the end of the day, are wild creatures. They need a habitat that provides them with proper nourishment as well as serves their primal instincts. So, before purchasing any fish carefully consider these questions:
 - What species is this?
 - What kind of habitat do they live in?
 - How do I make the fish tank mimic their natural habitat?
You must research these questions and carefully consider your options.
The good news is, it is not anything like rocket science. Just pay attention to a couple of key points and you'll be good to go.
Firstly, you need to consider is the type of fish. When it comes to lighting, fish can be broadly classified into two types:
 - Fish who are used to bright light
 - Fish who live in dark places
The lighting requirements of your fish tank will depend on the type of fish you keep.
For fish who are accustomed to bright light, you need to properly illuminate your aquarium. These fish have a pretty regulated body clock. When I say body clock I mean their bodies respond to the amount of light. Ample light is indicative of daytime which makes the fish active. As soon as the lights are dimmed, the fish go into sleep mode.
On the other hand, fish who live in depths of the ocean or murky lakes aren't accustomed to bright light. In this case, if the tank has too much lighting, the fish will get disturbed which will harm their health.
Secondly, the plants you want to keep also make a difference when it comes to lighting. Some plants need ample light for Photosynthesis while others can grow without much light. As a result, when it comes to plants, there is no concrete answer and everything depends on the individual species.
Fish Tank Needs Lights (Video)
Different Types of Lighting
Now that you know lighting is necessary, let's figure what type of lighting you need.
Generally, lighting is of the following types:
Fluorescent is, perhaps, the most commonly used lighting type. These lights are suitable for almost all of the freshwater fish and plants. Ample, bright light and inexpensive to boot are some of the qualities that make Fluorescent lights suitable for most occasions.
T-5 HO Fluorescent
T-5 HO is a type of fluorescent that produces more light than regular fluorescents. The term 'HO' in the name signifies High Output. T-5 produces almost twice as much light and is thus geared towards people who own large tanks and require a stronger light source for better illumination.
One side effect of T-5 HO is that it produces more heat. So, you should be careful and should carefully monitor the temperature of the tank when using T-5 HO.
L.E.D (Light Emitting Diode)
Amongst the types of lights discussed above, LED, in my opinion, is the best one. A Light Emitting Diode boasts several advantages over the Fluorescent and T-5 HO. First and Foremost, it is cheaper to operate. Secondly, unlike Fluorescent, it lasts a long time without any change to the amount and color of light.
These are the most common types of lights used in aquariums. Not all of them are suited for every tank. Choose the type of light after considering the type of fish and plants you plan on keeping.
Common Lighting Requirements
If you have been paying attention, you will have noticed a pattern:
The type of light needed is subjective.
Similarly, the amount of light you need depends greatly on the type of fish and plants you keep. On average, most fish species need 10-12 hours of light. This number varies depending on the following factors:
 - The number and type of plants
 - Light requirements of individual fish species
 - The amount of ambient light already available
As a thumb rule remember this:
The more the plants, the more light will be required.
The Effects of Lighting on Aquatic Plants
Aquatic plants aren't much different than surface ones. Both of them require nutrients and a healthy amount of light to grow. More specifically, light is needed for photosynthesis.
For the uninitiated:
Photosynthesis is a process by which plants take in Carbon Dioxide and Light to produce food and Oxygen.
So, the more the light, the more Photosynthesis and hence more food. This is the reason why you need to have sufficient light in your fish tank. Without it, the plants will start to lose their vitality and will ultimately die.
The Effects of Lighting on Different Fish
Just like plants, different fish also need different amounts of light.
Light is essential for the proper growth of fish. The amount of light entering the tank regulates the internal body clocks of the fish. With increased light, fish wake up and become active. Similarly, when it gets dark, the internal clock kicks in and fish go to sleep.
On the other hand, If there is too little light, most fish will lose their appetite and their colors will appear dull. If not resolved, the situation can prove fatal.
The best you can do in this regard is to try to mimic the lighting conditions of your fish's natural habitat. Get as close as you can!
The Side Effects of Too Much Light
There is a Chinese saying:
Wu Ji Bi Fan.
It loosely translates to:
Too much of anything is bad.
This is exactly how you should view lighting. Too much lighting is pretty bad for not only the fish but also your fish tank.
In the case of fish, too much light can disturb their metabolism. Not only that fish can also become stressed which can prove to be fatal.
Similarly, your fish tank as a whole also suffers when there is too much light. Algae grow at an accelerated pace under increased lighting. An increase in the amount of Algae not only pollutes the tank but also reduces the amount of Oxygen when the Algae eventually dies.
To tackle this issue, it is crucial to regulate the amount of light your fish tank gets.
Regulating Light
Too much or too little light can spell doom for a fish owner. The loss of fish and the ever-increasing risk of Algae overgrowth are troubling matters. Keeping this in mind, it is pretty important to regulate the lighting.
Following are two simple ways that you can do this:
 - Buy an electronic timer
 - Set an alarm to turn the lights on and off at the same time each day
The latter point is self-explanatory. The first point, however, requires a little explanation.
An electronic timer is a device that regulates the lighting by turning the lights on and off at the same time every day. You just set the time you want and it takes care of the rest.
This is pretty much all you need to know about lighting for your fish tank. If I were to summarize this discussion in a few sentences, It would be:
Research before purchasing any lighting and don't use too much. Plus, use a timer to regulate it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are LED lights good for fish?
LED lights are quite good for fish. These lights use far less electricity than other lights, say, Fluorescent. Plus, they also produce less heat and can last for a long time without suffering from the color shift.
Can fish see in the dark in a fish tank?
The question of whether fish can see in the dark is highly subjective. There are fish species which can see in the dark but these are mostly deep-sea fish. Fish taken from ponds and freshwater lakes can't see in the dark.
Do fish like aquarium lights?
Fish need aquarium lights. The absence of light can have adverse effects on their health and overall appearance. If there is not enough light, most fish lose their appetite and their colors become dull.
Can LED lights cause more algae in an aquarium?
No LED lights specifically don't cause more Algae. The growth of Algae depends on a couple of factors:
 - The competition for light
 - The amount of light
If there are no aquatic plants, Algae will have no competition and its growth will be accelerated.
On the other hand, if there is more light than needed than Algae is going to grow at an increased rate.

Applet Message
An applet message is a free-flowing text control which presents a mix of hard-coded, static text strings and dynamic data from the Siebel database, filled in at run time. An applet message is presented as a continuous, wrapped line of text. Applet messages are similar to the personalization text which appears on home pages. You can use applet messages to provide instructions to the end user performing the task. For example, in the Siebel Call Center application, an applet message may represent a block of text to be read by a customer service representative (the end user), when addressing a customer.
You specify the static text at design time. The dynamic data is derived from business component fields and, at run time, it becomes part of the applet message the end user sees while moving through the task.
NOTE: The format of the text in the applet message is not editable.
An applet message, as a user interface control, is statically positioned within the task applet. It differs from other control types (such as Text or Field) by always displaying its content as read-only, and not inside a box or border in the user interface.
Figure 3 shows an example of an applet message. In this example, the values for status, account, and the name and number of the agreement are dynamic.

Interesting paper, especially the results.
We study the economic effects of religious practices in the context of the observance of Ramadan fasting, one of the central tenets of Islam. To establish causality, we exploit variation in the length of daily fasting due to the interaction between the rotating Islamic calendar and a country's latitude. We report two key, quantitatively meaningful results: (i) longer Ramadan fasting has a negative effect on output growth in Muslim countries, and (ii) it increases subjective well-being among Muslims. We find evidence that these patterns are consistent with a standard club good explanation for the emergence of costly religious practices: increased strictness of fasting screens out the less committed members, while the more committed respond with an increase in their relative levels of participation. Together, our results underscore that religious practices can affect individual behavior and beliefs in ways that have negative implications for economic performance, but that nevertheless increase subjective well-being among followers.

-term student outcome metrics. Fifty percent of Hypothetical U. enrollments are underserved students; the team anticipates that they will see the most improvement in gateway course achievement with this group given the focus of their activities, and expects slight improvement for other students. Hypothetical U. reviewed results from other institutions evidencing significant course outcome improvements when faculty have and act on real-time information about students, and for underserved students when course content is relatable for students from diverse backgrounds. From others' experiences, Hypothetical U. is optimistic about its ability to influence significant gains in gateway completion, particularly for underserved students. Their near-term target statements follow.
- The gap in the gateway math course success rate (achieving a C or better) between underserved and other students will decrease from 10 to 5 percentage points in the spring 2021 semester, with no decline in achievement by other students (Figure 2).
- Of all students attempting, the percentage of students successfully completing gateway math (achieving a C or better) will increase from 30 to 36 percent in the spring 2021 semester.
Examining historical data, and the relationship between gateway math completion rates across student populations, Hypothetical U. estimated the improvement in retention rates and set their long-term targets using the estimation model below (see Figure 3). This relatively simple model makes a number of assumptions – steady enrollments and composition of students, similar retention patterns over time, and a very limited number of influences on students and the environment – but provides campus teams with an example for determining "how much" is possible.
- Compute the number of additional students who will complete gateway math if the Spring 2021 target is hit. So, 25% of 2,500 historically underserved students completed gateway math in the base year, or 625 students.
- At a target of 33%, this increases to 825 students, for an additional 200 historically underserved students completing gateway math.
- Assuming a retention rate for the target that is similar to the base year—or 60% for historically underserved students—compute the number of additional students that will be retained: 60% of 200, or 120 students.
- Add the 120 additional students to the base of 1,500 retained students, for a total 1,620 historically underserved students retained.
- Compute the target percent, or 1,620 of 2,500 historically underserved students retained, or 65%.
Looking forward to evaluating the near-term metrics every term, Hypothetical U. decided it was prudent to begin evaluating their long-term target after completing one academic year of their new activities to provide sufficient time for students to attempt their gateway math course, and for faculty to revise curriculum. This resulted in Hypothetical U.'s formal target statements for the retention long-term metric:
- The percentage of first-time students retained will increase from 64 to 67 percent for the 2021 entering cohort, as measured by retention to their second academic year.
- The retention equity gap for first-time students will decrease by three percentage points for the 2021 entering cohort, as measured by retention to their second academic year.


EXEC_SINGLE_NODE_ROWS_THRESHOLD Query Option (CDH 5.3 or higher only)
This setting controls the cutoff point (in terms of number of rows scanned) below which Impala treats a query as a "small" query, turning off optimizations such as parallel execution and native code generation. The overhead for these optimizations is applicable for queries involving substantial amounts of data, but it makes sense to skip them for queries involving tiny amounts of data. Reducing the overhead for small queries allows Impala to complete them more quickly, keeping admission control slots, CPU, memory, and so on available for resource-intensive queries.
Type: numeric
Default: 100
Usage notes: Typically, you increase the default value to make this optimization apply to more queries. If incorrect or corrupted table and column statistics cause Impala to apply this optimization incorrectly to queries that actually involve substantial work, you might see the queries being slower as a result of remote reads. In that case, recompute statistics with the COMPUTE STATS or COMPUTE INCREMENTAL STATS statement. If there is a problem collecting accurate statistics, you can turn this feature off by setting the value to -1.
Internal details:
In CDH 5.5 / Impala 2.3 and higher, where Impala supports the complex data types STRUCT, ARRAY, and MAP, if a query refers to any column of those types, the small-query optimization is turned off for that query regardless of the EXEC_SINGLE_NODE_ROWS_THRESHOLD setting.
For a query that is determined to be "small", all work is performed on the coordinator node. This might result in some I/O being performed by remote reads. The savings from not distributing the query work and not generating native code are expected to outweigh any overhead from the remote reads.
Added in: CDH 5.13
A common use case is to query just a few rows from a table to inspect typical data values. In this example, Impala does not parallelize the query or perform native code generation because the result set is guaranteed to be smaller than the threshold value from this query option:
SELECT * FROM enormous_table LIMIT 300;

Opaque watercolor on paper
Currently not on view
2004-149-53125th Anniversary Acquisition. Alvin O. Bellak Collection, 2004
LabelThe ragamala (garland of musical modes) is one of the most popular subjects of Indian painting. Ragas are selections of musical notes and patterns that invoke particular emotions, times of day, and seasons of the year. Ragamala verses and illustrations are the poetic and visual personifications of ragas. The system, however, is very complex and the meaning of particular images is not always clear. This scene is labeled on the painting as Kedara Raga, a melody to be sung on wintry nights. Images of Kedara Raga usually depict an ascetic and a musical instrument. Here a young ascetic is seated on the right, his renunciation of the physical world shown only by his matted hair and scanty clothing. The motif of the instrument, however, is absent. This particularly elaborate ragamala series shows the vibrant palette and strong contrasts of hue and tone favored by painters from the small state of Sirohi in southern Rajasthan.

My first function
Hi there!
I've been trying to code my first function with no succes and i think that the solution might be in front of me.
This is a simplificcation of my data
Ticker metric1 metric2 metric3
HD 1 3 4
WMT 6 8 2
NVDA 1 2 3
I would like to make a list of every "Ticker" and thieir possible values, like this.
HD 1
HD 3
HD 4
To do so, i created my first function but when i try to rbind the information i dont have dataframes, only a list of items and i can work with it.
metrica <- function(x) {
 x <- yahoo %>% select('Ticker','metric'=x+1)
n <- length(colnames(yahoo))-1
total <- rbind(lapply(1:n,metrica))
Why is it displayed as a list? There is something wrong with my code?
Thank you!
I am not exactly sure what the end result is you are trying to get to, so it is hard for to manipulate your data to get there.
Your function results is a tibble. When you called lapply, the tibbles were placed into a list objects. You then called rbind, which bound the lists together.
If all you want is to gather all the metric values into a single column, a gather should be sufficient. The following code will do the job. The last line will delete what were the column names, to make it more similar to your desired results.
yahoo %>%
 key = "metric",
 value = "val") %>%
Created on 2020-05-30 by the reprex package (v0.3.0)
1 Like
I fully support using an existing function to do this if the outcome is all that matters. If the goal is to learn about function, then I suggest modifying the function as follows.
yahoo <- data.frame(Ticker = c("HD", "WMT", "NVDA"),
 metric1 = c(1,6,1), metric2 = c(3,8,2), metric3 = c(4,2,3))
metrica <- function(x) {
 yahoo %>% select(1, Value = x + 1)
n <- length(colnames(yahoo))-1
total <- bind_rows(lapply(1:n,metrica))
#> Ticker Value
#> 1 HD 1
#> 2 WMT 6
#> 3 NVDA 1
#> 4 HD 3
#> 5 WMT 8
#> 6 NVDA 2
#> 7 HD 4
#> 8 WMT 2
#> 9 NVDA 3
What you were trying to do inside the select() function by setting'metric' = x + 1 will not work. It is easier to just use the numeric positions of the desired columns. I did use the select() function to rename the second selected column, so the data frames would all have the same column names and could be bound together.
Thank you, FJCC. I did not know about gather, so i will use that instead of my function.
I will have in mind your corrections, in order to be better in my next function.
Thank you for your time!!
Thank you! I did not know about gather function, and it was all that i needed. You saved me a lot of time!
Thank you!


Aerial Sockets
Aerial sockets, also known as TV sockets are wall-mounted outlets for coaxial connectors. They are most commonly used to provide a signal from a satellite (TV aerial) to a TV or FM. A coaxial cable is plugged into a TV and then the other end of the aerial cable is plugged into a socket to connect to the aerial.
Aerial sockets often come with a faceplate, also known as wall plate, which screws into the wall. Faceplates come in various materials, such as chrome or plastic, and provide a more aesthetic finish.
TV aerial sockets are often found around the home or workplace. You will often find a socket located where TV is to be fitted that requires a satellite signal.
What is a gang?
The number of gangs refers to the number of inputs that the wall socket has. For example, if the socket has "2 gangs" you can plug two coaxial cables into it. These cables are available in various lengths and feature a co-ax connector at each end.
How to connect to your aerial:
Aerial sockets are used when you have outdoor aerials that you wish to connect to. Aerial wall plates are fixed to the wall and you would connect your cable from your TV to the coaxial connector in the wall socket. These cables are available in various lengths to suit your requirements.
Your UHF aerial, for example, would feed into the back of the socket. The wiring from the aerial attaches to the board at the back of the aerial wall plate.
Connecting to your TV aerial provides access
Aerial Socket Connection Types:
TV socket
Radio (FM) socket
SAT (Satellite) socket

Tree – Determining Age
Q: I am trying to find out the age of several live oak trees at my father-in-law's house in north Florida. Is there some general way to determine their age based on their diameter?
A: According to Certified Arborist Brian Arnold _PHONE_), determining the age of the oaks through non-invasive observation would be almost impossible. The diameter of the trunk is influenced by many factors, including soil conditions, rainfall and sun exposure. The trunk of a hundred year old tree growing in a good spot might be twice the size of an equally aged tree growing in poor conditions.
It is possible to count tree rings using a tool called an increment borer. The tool bores a hole in the tree trunk and removes a slender core of tissue reaching the center of the trunk. Brian advises against the borer tool because the hole can give insects and diseases access to the trunk interior.
Maybe your best bet is to try contacting previous owners of the house to ask about their earliest memories of the trees.

Why are some working in their 60s, and is it good for their well-being?
Pension ages in the UK are rising from the traditional 65 for men and 60 for women, as people live longer. But why are some working past these ages, and is this good for their well-being? Dr Giorgio Di Gessa from King's College London and colleagues have investigated why some work beyond state pension age… Read more »

Encyclopedia - Distinguished Service Cross (U.K.)
The British Distinguished Service Cross medal was awarded by military authorities to serving members of the Royal Navy for meritorious actions in the face of the enemy.
Instituted in 1901 as the Conspicuous Service Cross the medal was awarded to warrant and subordinate officers; it was renamed the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC) in October 1914 and made available to all Royal Naval personnel below the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
Some 1,983 DSCs were awarded during the course of the First World War. From 1916 a Bar was made available to denote formal recognition of further acts of merit to existing DSC holders.
The medal, which was made of silver, was 41mm in height and 35mm wide. The obverse of the medal showed the Royal Cypher on the circular central medallion surmounted by a crown; the reverse was plain other than for a hallmark with the year of the war engraved on the lower arm.
A "blimp" was a word applied to an observation balloon.

1H-NMR in YBa2Cu3O7−δHx
We report on 1H NMR experiments on protonated samples of YBa2Cu3O7−δ. Our spectra show a seperation of the sample into an antiferromagnetic (afm) phase with high 1H-concentration and a metallic resp. superconducting (sc) phase with a low 1H-concentration. Cooling experiments suggest that the phase separation already takes place during the protonation process. Investigation of 1H-NMR signals in our unprotonated samples show a high proton background (about 0.25 1H's per unit cell) already present in the as-received starting materials (commercially available). Comparison of the linewidth of the afm spectra with model calculations lead us to the conclusion that the protons in the afm phase are located within 1.5 Å above or below the Cu-chain layer.

Any client can download packages from a repository that is configured to serve packages over HTTP. In some cases, you need to restrict access. One way to restrict access to the repository is to run the depot server behind an SSL-enabled Apache instance that supports client certificates.
Using SSL provides the following benefits:
Ensures encrypted transfer of package data between the client and the server
Enables you to grant access to repositories based on the certificate the client presents to the server
To set up a secure repository server, you must create a custom certificate chain:
Create a certificate authority (CA), which is the head of the certificate chain.
Issue certificates from this CA to the clients that are allowed to access the repository.
One copy of the CA is stored on the repository server. Whenever a client presents a certificate to the server, that client certificate is verified against the CA on the server to determine whether to grant access.
This section describes the following steps to create the certificate chain and configure the Apache front end to verify client certificates:
Create a keystore
Create a certificate authority for client certificates
Add SSL configuration to the Apache configuration file
Create a self-signed server certificate authority
Create a PKCS12 keystore

Evaluating the uncertainty of life cycle assessments : estimating the greenhouse gas emissions for Fischer-Tropsch fuels
MetadataShow full item record
Environmental regulations have historically been focused on individual emission points, facilities, or industrial sectors. However, recent and emerging regulations for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions such as those contained in the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 have introduced the concept of product life cycle limits on the emissions of transportation fuels. Thus, a complete life cycle assessment (LCA) of the transportation fuel must be completed where all emissions from field to the vehicle's fuel tank and from tank to the vehicle's exhaust must be assessed. However, although there have been extensive analysis of the GHG emissions associated with transportation fuels, there are substantial uncertainties associated with these estimates that can be attributed to poor data quality, inconsistent methodological choices, and model uncertainties, among others. This thesis evaluates the uncertainties present in LCA through the case study of fuel production using Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) synthesis of fuels derived from coal and biomass. Specifically, GHG emission estimates for F-T synthesis process scenarios are presented and the uncertainties in the estimates are discussed. Overall uncertainties in GHG emissions due to changes in the details of the process configurations in the F-T process can be up to 11%. This finding suggests that the details of fuel refining conditions will need to be specified in determining whether fuels meet GHG emission requirements, complicating the implementation of life cycle GHG regulations.

The Hermetic Wild West
In nineteenth century America, the Order of Hermes is recovering from the trauma of the Civil War, where wizards stretched or even broke the Code on both sides. With the war over, House Guernicus is recruiting Hoplites to pursue lawbreakers into the untamed west where the Order as a whole struggles with the challenges of native magic, abundant magical resources, and the "Vis Rush" it precipitated.
This is an Ars Magica 5th ed. game set in the American west. The Order of Hermes is a publicly known institution which struggles to find its place in a young country.

A Transition in the Law: Transgender Discrimination
Published: February 3, 2017
On February 2, 2017, Attorney Timothy M. Netkovick hosted a roundtable-style seminar discussing how to navigate through the legal landscape of the evolving and challenging area of discrimination law: transgender discrimination
Discrimination based on transgender status or gender identity is a developing area of the law. There has been a lot of debate on the local, state, and national level over access to bathrooms for transgender individuals. As the public debates this issue, legislators, administrative agencies, and courts are shaping the law that prohibits gender discrimination, including discrimination against transgender individuals.
If you have any questions about transgender discrimination and workplace accommodation, please contact the attorneys at Royal, P.C.

A comment mentions a reduction from X3C to SUBSET PRODUCT attributed to Yao. Given the target of the reduction it wasn't hard to guess what the reduction was likely to have been.
EXACT COVER BY 3-SETS (X3C)
Given a finite set $X$ with $|X|$ a multiple of 3, and a collection $C$ of 3-element subsets of $X$, does $C$ contain an exact cover $C'$ for $X$, where $C' \subseteq C$ and every element in $X$ occurs in exactly once in $C'$?
Given a list of numbers $L$ and a target $k$, is there a subset of numbers from $L$ whose product is $k$?
To reduce an X3C instance to a SUBSET PRODUCT instance:
Establish a bijective mapping between the members of $X$ and the first $|X|$ prime numbers. Replace the members of $X$ and the $C$ subsets with the mapped primes.
For each subset in $C$, multiply its members together; the resulting list of products is $L$ for the SUBSET PRODUCT instance. Because prime numbers are used for the mapping in step 1, the products are guaranteed to be equivalent iff the subsets are equivalent by the unique factorization theorem.
Multiply the members of $X$ together; the resulting product is the value $k$ for the SUBSET PRODUCT instance.
The prime factors of $k$ are exactly the members of $X$. The prime factors of the numbers in $L$ correspond exactly to the members of the $C$ subsets. Therefore any solution to the new SUBSET PRODUCT instance can be transformed into a X3C solution by mapping the solution members of $L$ back to the subsets in $C$.
Each of the 3 transformation steps involves operations that are polynomial to the size of the input $|X|$ or the size of a member of $X$. The first $|X|$ primes can be generated in time O($|X|$) using the sieve of Eratosthenes and are guaranteed to fit into $O(|X|^2 \ln |X|)$ space by the prime number theorem.

In the knock-out process, as well as in the preliminary phase of moulding sand reclamation, the issue of energy demand for the process of crushing used sand agglutinations, preferably to single grains, is particularly important. At present, numerical values of moulding sand impact resistance, which would allow energy-related aspects of this process to be forecast, are not known, as such research has not been carried out. It seems that impact resistance tested on very small cross-section samples, which allows us to very precisely reveal some unique features of a moulding sand with organic and inorganic binders, is an important parameter, which so far has not been taken into account for evaluation of mechanical properties of moulding sands. Preliminary attempts to determine impact resistance of moulding sands have been carried out as part of own research of the author. The conducted investigations aimed at determining the relationships between the obtained values of tensile strength and impact resistance of moulding sands. In addition, the effect of holding samples at temperatures of 100oC, 200oC, 300oC on the value of impact resistance was determined, both for sands made with fresh and with reclaimed sand grains.

Hashi-o-kakero (17x17 hard)
Hashi-o-kakero (Bridges) is a logic puzzle game. The object is to connect all of the islands into a single connected group.
- user comments(6)
How to play
The object of the game is to connect the islands by drawing a series of bridges between the islands. The number in the center of each island represents the number of bridges connected to it. The bridges must begin and end at distinct islands, traveling a straight line in between and not crossing any other bridges or islands. Only one or two bridges can connect a pair of islands. To build a bridge between two islands click on the first (it will appear as selected) then click to another. If you wish one more bridge between those two island repeat the procedure. If you make it again those two bridges will disappear.
The beginning of the game will be only islands and no bridges connecting them It will look something similar to this image:
To solve the puzzle you have to connect all the islands taking into account the number in each island - this represents the exact number of bridges to reach it. Two neighboring island may not or can be joined together with one or two bridges. Bridges can not cross with each other. There can only be placed horizontally or vertically on the board. It is also important to know that each pair of islands must be connected either directly or to have some "indirect" connection.
Here's one way to solve the puzzle given above. "The easiest" here is an island that is located at the bottom left of the board. It can be associated only with the neighboring island to the right and have only one bridge. To join them we click on it:
After that we click on the island on the right and the bridge appears:
We continue in the same way building more bridges that are obvious:
On the next image we show how we have connected the topmost islands:
This is completely wrong, since this group of bridges will be "isolated" from others. But the rule say that between any 2 islands must have direct or indirect connection. So we have to remove those bridges. This can be done making another virtual island between the islands
And this is how it should be:
The island in the middle should have 5 bridge, but we are only 2 built. Since there are already 2 bridges and we cannot build another the only choice is to build those 3 remaining bridges between 2 horizontally neighboring islands. So we must have at least one bridge left and right.
Following similar thoughts come to this:
There are 2 remaining options - either to connect the island with "5" with the island with "4" and then the puzzle becomes trivial:
or connect two adjacent vertical islands with two bridges and hence to a different solution:
Not every puzzle can have multiple solutions. We choose exactly this to show you a wider range of possible hashi-o-kakero games.
More information can be found on wikipedia site: Bridges_(puzzle).
I love to play at this game.
Can have a reply bottom, cause i want to begin the same game fast.

KANCHANPUR: Number of Siberian bird in the watersheds of Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve has deceased lately, officials and locals said.
The birds from Siberia arrive in the watersheds of Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve every year in search of warm habitat after the watersheds in the northern poles were covered with snow.
The Siberian birds return to their original habitats, thanks to lack of water and foods, and rise in temperature in the Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve.
Basically, the Siberian birds roam and collect their food around Ranital, Kalikich, Salgaudi, Sikarital, Pyaratal, Jhimlatal and other areas of the Reserve.
According to Reserve, more than 300 species of Siberian birds arrive here every year.

I need a way to tag photos in a Delphi desktop application the way Facebook does it.
That includes some way to easily add the tags over the people, and then hovering the mouse over the person in the photo to show the tag.
The two suggestions in the answer given to: "Delphi Components for Face Identification and Tagging" don't solve this.
But I have no idea where to start, and have been unable to find ideas on the web on how to do this. How does Facebook do it? Or maybe there's a component for Delphi that will allow it.
What would be the best way to try to implement Facebook-like tagging?
p.s. This is some of Facebook's API definition for this: _URL_
Here is a Java program that implements the face tagging functionality that I want to do in my Delphi app: fb-photo-uploader

The key parameters of the API you cited are the picture ID, the coordinates, and the tag. The tag can be either the user ID of a Facebook user, or it can be free-form text (for the case when the tagged subject is not a Facebook user). Facebook uses just one coordinate because it uses fixed-size regions to denote a tagged area; the idea is that you click on the center of a person's face, and Facebook just stores that point.
If you display a picture in a TImage control (that's the obvious first choice, after all), you can detect mouse clicks with the OnMouseDown and OnMouseUp events. (The OnClick event is simpler, but doesn't tell you the coordinates.) Once you've acquired a point, prompt for a label to accompany that point. You can use predetermined labels, like Facebook's user IDs, or just use ordinary text, or use something of your own devising. The question of what you use to represent a tag value is orthogonal to whatever other questions you've asked so far.
The other half of Facebook's photo tagging is that moving the mouse over the image displays the tag text over the image, and moving the mouse over the labels below highlight the associated regions. Handle OnMouseMove events and write some code to display or hide labels and shapes as appropriate. If you use TLabel and TShape, you might not even have to modify the image, but showing those controls on top of the image might interfere with further OnMouseMove events for the image. It shouldn't take too long to try some experiments and see what works for you.

lkessler, I just read your reply to Marshall Fryman, so may have a couple options for you:
THotSpotImage - If you already have TMS components...
ImageEn - in case you already have them...
See w2m's answer #3 i think in further i need get all inner pixels of my selections, so how i can save my selections/objects?
Save selection just saves the selection itself. It does not save the image inside of the selection:
procedure SaveSelectionToFile(const FileName:string); SaveSelectionToFile saves the current selection to the specified file. Example ImageEnView1.Select(10,10,100,100); ImageEnView1.SaveSelectionToFile('selection1');.. sel1.Position:=0; ImageEnView1.LoadSelectionFromFile('selection1'); // this is like Select(10,10,100,100)
share|improve this answer
Good selection of options. I wish there was a THotSpotImage outside of TMS. I wouldn't want to get it just for that one component. I already use LMD ElPack for my additional components, and that's enough. – lkessler Apr 15 '09 at 0:08

I'm a bit confused as to your question. Are you trying to interact with Facebook or just copy the functionality?
If you are trying to copy the functionality: You should be able to just display the image, let the user select the rectangle, possibly copy the image to a new copy to notify the other person with, and apply a tag in a DB. Some helpful links: here is a select image example and here is the copy image portion example. I'd actually think you could do the select image in a paintbox but haven't actually played with one of those in forever.
If you are trying to access the API: The.NET interface may work for you. From what I can tell, there is no COM interface so you'd have to write your own connector or use a.NET Delphi app. Note: all of this information is coming from Google so I won't swear up and down that it's really the current state of things. The only other Facebook API request I saw was from 2007.
If you want to do automatic face recognition, OpenCV from the referenced question looks like a decent way to do it (especially if you have access to C++ Builder).

Thanks for the thoughtful answer and the useful examples which is the sort of thing I'm looking for. No, I don't want to interact with Facebook, but I'm looking for an easy way to imitate its functionality and take a picture, let the user select a region, and store a tag with the pic. – lkessler Apr 1 '09 at 1:47

In the Graphic32-library, you can have several layers upon each other in a image. One of the layers that is provided out of the box, is a TRubberbandLayer that allows the user to reposition/resize the layer at runtime.
The mousemove event for the TImage32-component, has a parameter that gives the layer currently under the cursor.
type TImgMouseMoveEvent = procedure(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer; Layer: TCustomLayer) of object;
A combination of rubberbandlayers and the mousemove-event should be good solution, I think.

Analysis of Poems:The Rose That Grew From Concrete and And Tomorrow by Tupac Shakur
Page 1 of 2
Tupac Shakur wrote both these poems and the poems are about having ambitions and goals and reaching them despite the circumstances. There is also a theme of keeping hope in both the poems.
The Rose That Grew From Concrete is not really about a rose that grew from the concrete. The rose symbolizes a man and the concrete symbolizes the ghetto. A rose would never grow from concrete and by this he is meaning to say that it is really hard to survive the hard life of the ghetto and make something out of yourself. The second line means that the person has made something out of himself. "nature's law" means that no one expected the man to survive and the 'law' was that no one could survive the ghetto and do something with their lives and so the man has proved this law wrong. "it learned without having feet", this part means that he had no help and he made it all by himself. The third line means that because the man kept his dreams and was confident in his own abilities he was able to reach his goal. "fresh air" represents some where away from the ghetto where he is well-off and he is not in constant trouble and somewhere where he does not have a lot of problems. The last line he is praising the 'rose' because it made it through the hard time when there was no one to help it and no one cared about it.
And Tomorrow is a poem about hope. Tupac talks about how Tthe world is today but tomorrow there is still hope for a better future. The second line of the poem, says that people no longer want to take any chances and they no longer think independently because they are afraid of becoming different and getting thrown out of society. The next two lines are about how poor humanity is and how much tragedies there are in the world and no one is facing them and trying to find a solution to them. He goes on to say how children are being brought up, with "ruthlessness" and this is because they find no love at home. From line 9 onwards he begins to talk about...

Pioneering colour theorist and artist, Sydney Harry who lectured at Bradford College of Art between 1937 and 1975, was also obsessed with the theory and principles of colour. Teaching Woven Textiles and Photography but most importantly the Science and Theory of Colour and Perception, Sydney's research proved to be of immense value to colour theorists and textile designers.
Sydney Harry was born in Leeds in 1912 and at age twelve was accepted to study fine art, photography and woven textile design at Leeds College of Art. Leaving college aged 14; Sydney Harry opened a design and colour services studio.He came to Bradford College of Art in 1937 as a Senior Lecturer teaching Woven Textile Design, Colour and Photography.
Today colour is everywhere in our lives, influencing our choices of what to wear, what car to buy and what colour to paint our walls! The theory and principles of mixing colour both additive ( mixing light) and subtractive ( mixing pigment) and the visual and psychological impact of colour combinations has always fascinated artists, academics and industrialists. The note books of Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton demonstrate their obsession with colour!
In the early 1960s as his professional practice in art and textiles progressed he developed theories about colour by experimenting with colour combinations using weaving and gouache paint. His ideas and reputation spread quickly and he was invited by WD Wright, Professor of Applied Optics at Imperial College, London to join The Colour Group of Great Britain in 1968. Sydney Harry's theories and experiments with colour were highly thought of among academic circles and before long he regularly lectured at academic institutions including Goldsmiths College, London and The Royal College of Art, and the University of Stockholm, and at for many industrial associations including the ICI Paints Division, the Design Council, International Wallpaper Manufacturers' Association, British Colour Education Institute, and London British Colour Council.
His earliest existing colour theory paintings date from 1965, in which gradations of tone and hue were a major theme. By varying the scale and colour combinations many of his paintings resemble the dramatic Pop Art canvases of the 1960's whilst others play strange tricks on your eyes. Sydney Harry's work is a demonstration of the creative and calculated use of colour, an unusual academic and practical blend of science and art.
In 1978 Sydney Harry was instrumental in the setting up of The Colour Museum in Bradford, now home to the Society of Dyers and Colourists. The Society of Dyers and Colourists gave the first major exhibition of Sydney's paintings from 1920s to the 1980s at their Bradford Colour Experience in October 2006. Harry continued to lecture up until 1984 until ill health severely limited his lecturing programme but he continued to paint and experiment with his theories right up until his death in 1991.
Sincere thanks to the family of Sydney Harry, particularly his grand daughter Lettie Tanner.


You do not have to be at the top of your class to obtain a clerkship. History has shown that Cornell Law School graduates in every quartile of the class have obtained federal and state court clerkships.
However, you do have to be realistic about your chances. You need to assess your credentials, think about your geographic location, and the likely level of competition for the clerkships you desire. Note that some judges have very individualistic criteria, such as a preference for clerks who went to their alma mater or who will remain to practice in the community.
Between the time that you apply and the time that a judge considers your application, many months may pass. Whenever you receive new grades or wish to share a major accomplishment (like winning a moot court competition or having a note published), be sure to update all of the judges to whom you've applied. You can send judges updates by uploading new materials to a finalized application on OSCAR or by sending the judge a short, professional letter. This will provide the judge with useful information, evidence your continued interest in the position, and demonstrate your professionalism.

text: Abstract With the increasing use of ultra-hard abrasives and the introduction of more powerful and rigid machines, honing process is spreading its performances. In industrial honing of cylinder liners for internal combustion engines, the degree of penetration that Metallic Bonded Diamond (MBD) abrasive stones have experienced compared to conventional Vitrified Bonded Silicon Carbide (VBSC) tools is obvious. The long tool life of metal bonded diamond sticks is however balanced by its main role in producing torn and folded metal without cutting-effect finish. To simultaneously reduce folding and remove the stock with improved stone life, an experimental investigation is reported on the process variability in finish honing behavior due to stone inconsistency and nature of its properties. We consider the achievable performances by finish honing of cast iron liners with a new abrasive stone. This superabrasive consists of micro-sized diamond abrasives which are bonded with vitrified bond (VBD). By selection of finer grit abrasive while honing with VBD tool, conditions could be created that gave a cutting-effect finish to the diamond honing and minimized the folding over.

March 11, 2009 While the thought of rocketing into space might make some people want to soil themselves, going to the toilet in zero gravity is a very real problem for space faring astronauts. Until now the solution has been to strap themselves onto a toilet that is similar to traditional western style toilets but employs a vacuum cleaner like machine to suck the wastes away – doesn't sound too pleasant does it. Now it seems the Japanese are approaching the problem from a different tack with Pink Tentacle reporting that the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has teamed up with engineers from the private sector to develop a next-generation space toilet that is designed to be worn like a diaper.
The proposed toilet is designed to be worn by the astronauts at all times with sensors detecting when the wearer relieves himself or herself. This will automatically trigger a rear-mounted suction unit to draw the wastes away through tubes to a separate container and the device will wash and dry the wearer afterwards. For astronauts who have been indulging in space curry the unit will also incorporate features to eliminate unwanted sound and odor. The research group hopes to develop the next generation space toilet within the next five years with plans to test working prototypes in Japan's Kibo lab aboard the International Space Station (ISS) – hands up for that job. The team believes the new toilet could also have earthbound uses such as in hospitals for bedridden patients.
The new toilet could also come in handy for astronauts looking to drive non-stop cross-country to confront the other woman in a love triangle.

York Primary Schools tell Parallel Stories in Illustrative Prints: Parables for our Time
PHOTO / BROADCAST OPPORTUNITY
Archbishop of York's Junior School
York, YO23 2QT
Wednesday 15 June at 1.30pm
Pupils from six primary schools in York are taking part in a series of workshops, entitled 'Parallel Stories: Parables for our Time', which explores the history, art and culture within the King James Bible, as part of its 400th anniversary, which takes place this year. The project is led by The National Centre for Early Music as part of the first York Festival of Ideas, a partnership between the NCEM, the University of York, York Theatre Royal, and York Museums Trust.
'Parallel Stories: Parables for our Time' involves Archbishop of York's Junior School, Westfield, New Earswick, Woodthorpe, Park Grove and Dunnington Primary Schools.
Becky Wirtz, Class Teacher at Archbishop of York's Junior School says: "Our Year 6 pupils have thoroughly enjoyed the creative approach these workshops have taken to examining the cultural background of the King James Version. Focusing on the parables within the Bible, discussing these stories and their meanings, and re-telling them in a modern setting for a present-day audience, has enabled the children to understand the Bible's significance today.
"They have also looked at how the parables are illustrated within the King James Version and have emulated the woodcutting techniques used in it to create their own illustrative prints. They are all very proud and excited that their prints will be bound into a large presentation book and displayed at the National Centre for Early Music as part of York Early Music Festival, running from 8-16 July 2011, and subsequently at Explore York Library Centre and York Minster Library as part of their A Book Fit for a King KJV exhibition."
The project, which is run by the National Centre for Early Music in partnership with the University of York Community and Volunteering Unit (Careers Service), also provides volunteering and professional development opportunities for students from the University of York. A group of eleven undergraduate and MA students from the English, Education, History of Art, and History departments have attended seminars and training sessions on the cultural, historical and artistic aspects of the project and have been responsible for carrying out workshops in the schools.
Laura Bootland and Elizabeth Cole, students from the University of York, said: "It has been a great experience to take such a central role in delivering the workshops in these schools and working with very enthusiastic and engaged groups of children and teachers. Having a real hands-on approach has provided an invaluable opportunity to develop our own teaching and leadership skills, while supporting the children's learning."

Librados - expose checksums¶
Allow librados write operations to pass checksum metadata long with data buffers so that this information can follow the data all the way down the stack for verification at various layers. This will close one of several gaps in providing true end-to-end data integrity verification.
- Sage Weil (Red Hat)
- Name (Affiliation)
- Name (Affiliation)
We checksum data as it passes over the wire, and verify it on the other end (to detect network bit flips that TCP's checksumming misses).
We periodically read data off disk, calculate a new checksum, and compare it to replicas (to detect bit rot).
We use crc32c throughout.
Detailed Description¶We should define a generic, extensible way to describe the checksum of a buffer or data extent. We use crc32c today, but we should avoid locking ourselves into a single scheme for all time.
We should make new write call variants (e.g., rados_write2, rados_write_full2, etc.) that optionally accept checksum metdata for the data buffer being passed in. Same goes for the read operations (we should pass out the checksum metdata along with the data).
Initially, these will not do much.
Eventually, we can extend the internal protocol (the messenger on-wire protocol and/or the rados MOSDOp[Reply] encodings) to pass this data over the wire to the OSD and back.
In some cases, we can use it to populate the checksum fields in object_info_t (see other blueprint).
We can have options to control which layers of the stack recalculate the checksum over the current data buffer for verification against the provided checksum. We probably do not want to do this at every layer (too expensive), but should do it at least once before writing the data to disk, ideally at a point that avoids propagating a bit flip to multiple replicas.
Other things we might do with this later:
- pass checksum info through the ObjectStore interface
- add a rados class (or native rados op) to calculate/verify checksum info on the server side ("fixity check")
- define extensible checksum metadata structure
- define new librados read/write calls that include option checksum metadata (C and C++ interfaces)
- extend MOSDOp and MOSDOpReply to pass checksum metadata for the data payload
- allow this metadata, when present, to allow the messenger to skip the crc it is doing for the data payload

Massive Animal Feces are the special excrements currently only produced by Titanosaur in ARK: Survival Evolved. From time to time, they automatically drop from these creatures. If you eat this you will probably die.
Usage[edit | edit source]
Massive Animal Feces can be used as fertilizer and add 35,000 points to fertilization when they are put in the inventory of a Crop Plot.
They can be combined with Thatch in a Compost Bin to produce Fertilizer.
However, it is the only Feces which is partially not worth doing it, it would be better to directly insert them into Crop Plots, as a Fertilizer has less fertilization points (54,000) than 2 or 3 Massive Animal Feces separated (70,000 or 105,000). Therefore, it would be more efficient to combine any other animal feces with thatch to produce fertilizers. The only way it could be somewhat efficient to combine it into fertilizer is if one would use a single Massive animal Feces with 2 other smaller variants. (Excluding two Large Animal Feces or one Large Animal Feces and one Medium Animal Feces, as the sum of their separated fertilization points would still be greater than the Fertilizer's)
Unlike the other size variations of feces, as of Patch 243.2, Massive Animal Feces cannot be used for taming Dung Beetles. However, they can be converted by the Dung Beetles, given a high enough weight stat, into 16 bags of Fertilizer and 14 Oil per feces.[1]

The Aberfoyle Park Primary School Campus is located in the Adelaide hills 18 kilometres south of the city. The concept of the Campus with State School (Thiele), Catholic Education Office (Nativity) and the Uniting Church System (Pilgrim) sharing facilities was new to South Australia and probably Australia when it was first developed.
After years of preliminary planning the joint project came to fruition at the beginning of the 1982 school year when the schools admitted their first students. The Shared facilities include an activity hall, resource centre, gymnasium and Campus staff room. Shared programs include Physical Education, Music, and Resource Based Learning. In 2001 the Aberfoyle Park Campus Preschool was opened by the Minister of Education and Children's Services. This relocated facility has a capacity of 45 children per session and is located in the grounds of the Campus. There is a strong vision and spirit of cooperation and collaboration between the four schools. Having the three schools on one site provides the following educational advantages:
- A degreeof choice for parents when deciding what kind of school they want their children to attend.
- Resources available for all three schools that could not be financed by three separate schools.
- Sharing staff expertise between the three schools
- Promoting tolerance and cooperation between the school community of children, parents and staff
The shared schools resources of the Campus community includes:
- the Central Administration
- an excellent gymnasium
- a large staff and community meeting room
- central resource area
- activity hall and canteen
- two ovals
- hard play areas
- a large central courtyard
Parents sharing on the Campus is at many levels
The parents cooperate and work together in these areas:
- Campus Conference
- Sports Teams
- Resource Centre
Parents are encouraged to be involved in decision making in the individual schools and to work with the teachers in the classroom situation. The children are encouraged to develop a sense of belonging to the Campus.
This is achieved by:
|• Wearing the same uniform
(Varied in the State Schools)
- Playing together in the playground
- Participating in Campus sports Teams
- Sharing organised activities such as Book Week,
an Arts Festival and a Science Exposition.
- Across Campus Educational Programs:
- Language other than English (LOTE)
There are many activities of an informal nature across schools:
- Going on excursions together
- School camps
- Classes working together on a shared project

Comparison of CAD and manual sketching tools for teaching architectural design.
Automation in Construction, 19
978 - 987.
Official URL: _URL_
Communications for information synchronisation during the conceptual design phase usually require designers to employ more flexible and intuitive digital design tools. In developing such support tools, a case study research was initiated to first understand the current state of communication among novice design team members. The main purpose of the study is to understand the novice designers' collaboration culture when working on conceptual architectural design projects. The overall case study research involves 1) ethnography for data collection and 2) artefact and protocol analyses for data analysis. This paper presents the latter data analyses based on the earlier ethnography results about novice designers' conceptual design and technology design synthesis strategies. Data analyses on the characteristics of utilised external representation tools indicate that although conventional manual sketching is beneficial for providing rich intuitive design concepts, they have limitations when novice designers need to oversee complicated design problems. The study also found that although current conventional CAD tools are advantageous for detailed engineering design articulation, they do hinder novice designers' creativity due to their intuitive ideation limitation. Based on these results, this paper discusses the identified advantages and challenges of current design media and then proposes an alternative VR-based design interface for enhancing cognition and communication among designers during the conceptual design phase.

Processors with Hyper-Threading technology can improve the performance of applications by permitting a single processor to process data as if it were two processors by executing instructions from different threads in parallel rather than serially. However, the potential performance improvement can be only obtained if an application is multithreaded by parallelization techniques. This article presents the multithreaded code generation and optimization techniques developed for the Intel C++/Fortran compiler. We conduct the performance study of two multimedia applications parallelized with OpenMP pragmas and compiled with the Intel compiler on the Hyper-Threading (HT) technology enabled Intel single-processor and multi-processor systems.
