Children Travelling Alone
Letting your little one fly alone can be a scary experience, but our comprehensive guide and friendly airline staff to assist you on the day will ensure your child has a safe and enjoyable journey.
How old does my child have to be to fly alone?
An unaccompanied minor (UNMR) is any child aged between 5 and 11 (not yet 12 years of age) who is flying by themselves and not travelling with a parent, guardian or immediate family member.
Children younger than five are not permitted to fly by themselves. Children aged 12 and over are considered 'adults' by airline ticketing standards, but parents can specifically request an unaccompanied minor service for children aged 12 to 15.
These age brackets are fairly consistent for most airlines, but it's important to contact your Flight Centre consultant to ensure your child qualifies as an unaccompanied minor.
Do I have to book my child as an unaccompanied minor?
Yes. You must make a specific booking for your child if they are travelling by themselves and meet the unaccompanied minor age requirements. Young passengers may not be able to get onto the aircraft if they are alone do not have the required unaccompanied minor booking.
Not all flights accept unaccompanied minors, so it's important to check with your airline or booking agent first. There are also restrictions on flights with transfers or stopovers which may prevent your child from being able to travel by themselves.
How do I make an unaccompanied minor booking?
All Flight Centre consultants are able to handle the finer details and make a booking for your solo voyager. There's a bit more to it than just booking the airfares, so it's a good idea to have a consultant liaise with an airline on your behalf so you can focus on getting your youngster ready for their big journey.
What documentation do I need for an UNMR booking?
Every airline has special unaccompanied minor travel documentation that parents or guardians must complete prior to flying – this includes information on the 'sender' and 'receiver' who will accompany the child at departure and arrival points.
Adults at both the departure and arrival points will need to present identification that matches up with the documentation given to the airline in order to send off or pick up the young guest.
Do unaccompanied minor bookings cost extra?
There is usually a specific fee for unaccompanied minors, which varies between domestic and international routes and carrier. Airfares are generally charged at an adult price although this may be different at the discretion of your airline.
Only a certain number of unaccompanied minors are permitted on board at one time (usually fewer than six), so it's important to secure your child's booking as soon as possible.
Young passengers flying by themselves are well looked after by both ground and cabin staff. At the airport, you must accompany your child through check-in and to the gate where a cabin crew member will meet you. Unaccompanied minors receive priority boarding so the crew can help them get settled, stow away their cabin baggage and answer any questions they might have.
Step-by-step at the airport:
 1. Arrive at the airport and make your way to the check-in and bag drop counters
 2. Have your personal ID and your child's ID ready, plus sender/receiver details to confirm with the airline staff
 3. After your child has received their boarding pass, go to the gate at least 30-minutes prior to departure
 4. A flight attendant will meet you at the gate and will go through paperwork before boarding
 5. The attendant will accompany your child on board and get them settled before other guests
 6. Wait for the aircraft to depart in case it has to return to the gate for any unexpected reason
Don't forget to bring:
 - The required unaccompanied minor travel documentation
 - Medical clearance forms if necessary
 - Your child's identification (birth certificate, passport or ID card)
 - Comfort items to make the journey less stressful for very young guests
Where will my child be sitting?
Unaccompanied minors are usually seated close to the cabin crew areas (the flight attendant jump seats near the exits or food service area), close to bathrooms and next to a vacant seat where possible.
What is the flight attendant's job with UNMRs?
The crew often devote a great amount of attention to their younger guests, making it a priority to ensure they are feeling secure and comfortable during the journey. Flight attendants check on UNMRs multiple times during the flight.
When the attendant accompanies the child on board they will show them to their seat, explain the entertainment controls such as volume and channel selection, show them where the bathrooms are located and explain how to use the call button.
In-flight food options for young guests
It's a good idea to make sure your child has some cash with them if they are on a flight that doesn't have a meal service or, alternatively, pack them some ready-to-eat snacks to take on board. Snack items available on in-flight menus often include fresh sandwiches, muffins, crackers with cheese, cookies, chips, chocolate, juice and soft drink.
If your child is travelling internationally, long-haul or on a domestic flight that includes a meal with the airfare, you are able to specify a kid's meal as well as any dietary requirements when you make the booking or no later than 24-hours before the flight. Ask your Flight Centre consultant about meal options when you book the airfare for your young jet setter.
Travel Tip: Sugary food and drink can sometimes cause motion sickness, especially if your child is already a little nervous. Make sure they have their own bottle of water to keep hydrated during the flight.
Kid-friendly entertainment options
When it comes to onboard entertainment, you are often able to specify on the unaccompanied minor forms whether you consent for your child to access the TV, movies and music options if free entertainment if provided.
On domestic or international flights that have in-flight entertainment, there is usually a selection of children's programs and movies either delivered via seatback screens or hand-held devices which can be hired at a cost.
Pack some items in your child's cabin baggage to keep them occupied during the flight, such as colouring-in books, portable DVD players or travel-friendly games they can play by themself. If your child has their own personal electronic device, here are our five favourite apps for learning along the way:
 - Pettson's Inventions
 - Endless Alphabet
 - Squeebles Maths Bingo
 - How it Works: Machines
 - Music Matching with Lisa Loeb
Travel Tip: Make sure your child has their headphones or earphones if they are going to be listening to a personal electronic device.
Arriving safe and sound - what to expect
Possibly the most important part of the journey is your child's arrival at their destination. The unaccompanied minor forms require you to list a parent or guardian who will be picking up your little one at the gate once they have landed. and it is vitally important to ensure the same person who is listed on the form is the person who picks the child up.
Due to legal reasons, airlines are not permitted to hand over a child to someone who is not listed on the documentation or without ID, even if they are a family member.
Unaccompanied minors will be the last off the plane. The flight attendant will deliver them to their waiting parent or guardian along with the forms that were signed at the start of the journey from the departure point. These forms are again signed by the attendant and the receiver who is collecting the child, completing the final leg of their journey.
Travel Tip: If there's a chance someone other than the listed adult may have to pick up your child, list all prospective 'receivers' on the form just in case.

How do you cook bbq ribs
How long does it take to cook ribs on the BBQ?
Is it better to cook ribs in the oven or grill?
While BBQ gives ribs a distinct flavor, baking has other benefits to it. Baking gives you more control over how fast and how much the ribs are cooked. Because ovens have controlled temperature you are less likely to overcook or under cook your ribs.
How do you make BBQ ribs?
The best way to pre-cook sideribs Preheat oven to 325F. Remove membrane off ribs. If using a dry rub, rub spice mixture on both sides of ribs. Arrange ribs, meaty-side up, in a shallow roasting pan. Preheat grill to medium.
What temperature do you cook BBQ ribs?
Why do ribs take so long to cook?
Ribs generally cook for several hours because they store a lot of fat and collagen in the meat. But they also cook at vastly reduced temperatures. Like 200–250 degrees, which give the meat time to break down and redistribute all that delicious fat and flavor.

How do you know when ribs are done?
Should I wrap ribs in foil when grilling?
It also adds moisture and speeds up cooking time. Wrapping should be done about half way through the cooking process or when internal meat temp is 150-160 degrees. Use two layers of heavy duty foil to wrap the meat. We recommend the following process for wrapping ribs, pork shoulder and brisket.
Do ribs get more tender the longer they cook?
When you grill ribs, they won't fall off the bone. They will, however, come off the bone cleanly when you eat them. The longer you cook them, the more tender they will be.
How long does it take to grill ribs at 350 degrees?
Which ribs are best for BBQ?
Louis Cut Ribs are the meatiest and most flavorful ribs. They are spareribs with the tips removed so they form a nice rectangular rack. I sometimes call the "center cut ribs". You can use Baby Back Ribs for this recipe if you prefer.

Two Methods:Removing gripsApplying grips
On a bicycle, sometimes it's very hard to get your new rubber handlebar grips on. This will help you put it on easily and not have it slip off later.
Method 1 of 2: Removing grips
 1. 1
 Sometimes careful cutting with a razor blade is necessary. Try not to scratch your chrome. If you want to save the grips without cutting, spray WD-40 between grip and handlebar. It WILL penetrate all the way down. Twist to spread WD-40 inside, and pull off. Stick a screwdriver between the bar and the grip if you cannot get under the grip well.
 2. 2
 Clean bar with soap/water to remove WD-40. Dry bar thoroughly! Don't leave handlebars soapy or wet.
 3. 3
 You can also use compressed air from a compressor or can to remove a grip. Place a needle/nozzle between the grip and the handlebar, and the air will allow the grip to slide off the bar. Since you won't be placing a lubricant on the bar, you will not need to clean it off. Use the proper precautions whenever you use compressed air tools or products to prevent explosions or other injuries.
Method 2 of 2: Applying grips
 1. 1
 Apply a squirt of hairspray or hand sanitizer inside the grip.
 2. 2
 3. 3
 - Ordinary spit will also work, if you don't have hairspray or sanitizer.

How many checklists does it take before we have a checklist approach to disclosure?
ASX today released its interim guidance on reporting scoping studies. This has proven to be a thorny issue for miners who have sought to provide the market with guidance on the outcome of such studies, which are often conducted internally, based on a limited geological understanding on the underlying resource and within a wide range of accuracy (typically +/- 50%) regarding economic outcomes.
ASX seeks to augment the guidance provided in ASIC's revised IS 214 and, in an approach which seems at odds with a stated desire to avoid a "checklist approach" to compliance, adds a checklist for listed companies to follow in preparing scoping study announcements.
There are a number of key takeaways:
- ASIC's guidance: After the confusion and rancour following ASIC's April Information Sheet 214 – Mining and Resources – Forward Looking Statements (IS 214), which was interpreted to prohibit publication of scoping studies without present evidence of project finance, ASIC revised IS 214 in October 2016. The revision confirmed secured funding is not necessarily required in order to establish that reasonable grounds exist for a production target, but stopped short of giving guidance as to at what point an assessment of a company's relative market capitalisation, financial position, financing track record and support, relevant metrics and the state of relevant economies might provide a "reasonable basis" for a finance assumption.
- Reasonable grounds for assumptions: Both ASIC and ASX clearly state they are looking for reasonable grounds for the disclosed assumptions made as to finance, not definitive statements as to financing capacity.
ASX notes, in an apparent attempt to reassure the average compliant explorer: "resource entities at early stages of the project assessment process will often not be in a position to make definitive statements about the availability of funding needed for development…" ASX also suggests that, where there are no reasonable grounds to think any entity can raise project finance on its own, the entity might disclose what the options are, such as a sale of project equity, and what reasonable basis there is for thinking those options might be available…. but is that a lifeline, or another can of worms?
- A proximate warning: Both regulators want to see a clear statement of current financial capacity and expected finance requirements to achieve outcomes stated in a scoping study, with warnings as to a lack of certainty of funding, and the potential dilution impacts of any equity raising. ASX has provided an indicative five paragraph cautionary statement for companies' assistance, which should be used when reminding investors that the company might not be able to raise project finance when needed. The statement augments the JORC code requirement for an appropriate cautionary statement.
- Other disclosure points: ASX also reminds companies of the basics:
- Follow Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules
- Use JORC terminology
- Be fair and balanced
- Don't put forward looking statements in the headline
- Don't describe results as a per share value without reasonable grounds
- Use an approximate rounded range for targets
- Disclose assumptions about modifying factors, and a sensitivity analysis
- Your material assumptions include Section 4 of Table 1 of JORC
- Be careful with assumed timeframes and sequencing of categories of resources for production and development
- A checklist: The guidance annexes a checklist which ASX is encouraging entities to complete to verify compliance. It takes directors through the disclosure points above and Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules. Although companies aren't required to complete the checklist, in cases where ASX has concerns over a scoping study announcement, it may request the company to complete and return the checklist under Listing Rule 18.7, whereupon it will presumably find its way onto the company announcements platform.
No-one denies ASX and ASIC's work will encourage an improvement of the standard of reporting on scoping studies. However, we are now moving into a potentially uncomfortable combining of "hard" and "fuzzy" regulation of disclosure. This will increase the compliance burden for listed resource companies and doesn't help with some big questions which a checklist approach is ill-suited to answer. For example – what constitutes reasonable grounds for an assumption that a company can obtain project finance?
We expect that, like the much lamented Corporate Governance Statement in Appendix 4G, ASX is inexorably moving towards a checklist approach to disclosure in this field. But we still don't have any comfort that a combination of warning statements and a checklist approach will be enough for ASIC.

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

text: The present work introduces an extended particulate filter model focusing on capabilities to cover catalytic and surface storage reactions and to serve as a virtual multi-functional reactor/separator. The model can be classified as a transient, non-isothermal 1D+1D two-channel model. The applied modeling framework offers the required modeling depth to investigate arbitrary catalytic reaction schemes and it follows the computational requirement of running in real-time. The trade-off between model complexity and computational speed is scalable. The model is validated with the help of an analytically solved reference and the model parametrization is demonstrated by simulating experimentally given temperatures of a heat-up measurement. The detailed 1D+1D model is demonstrated in a concept study comparing the impact of different spatial washcoat distributions. The generic model is further used to describe a diesel particulate filter coated with functionalities for selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions (SDPF). This dedicated model, as a part of a full diesel exhaust line, is combined with a passenger car vehicle and thermodynamic engine model. The whole system model is assessed in office PC simulation regarding result plausibility and computational performance during the New European Drive Cycle and a randomly assembled drive cycle. The real-time capability of the full model is demonstrated by running it on the NI VeriStand real-time simulation environment. The presented type of system model contributes to answer upcoming questions in the context of real driving emissions (RDE) by means of simulation.


text: This paper presents a new bit-plane-wise unequal error protection algorithm for progressive bitstreams transmitted over lossy networks. The proposed algorithm protects a compressed embedded bitstream generated by a 3-D SPIHT algorithm by assigning an unequal amount of forward error correction (FEC) to each bit-plane. The proposed algorithm reduces the amount of side information needed to send the size of each code to the decoder by limiting the number of quality levels to the number of bit-planes to be sent while providing a graceful degradation of picture quality as packet losses increase. We also apply our proposed algorithm to transmission of JPEG 2000 coded images over the Internet. To get additional error-resilience at high packet loss rates, we extend our algorithm to multiple-substream unequal error protection. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is simple, fast and robust in hostile network conditions and, therefore, can provide reasonable picture quality for video applications under varying network conditions.

Three thermal effects on heating/cooling of K2TaF7 in the temperature interval of 680–800°C were investigated by the DSC method. The values determined for the enthalpy change of the individual processes are: ΔtransIIHm(K2TaF7; 703°C) = 1.7(2) kJ mol−1, ΔtransIHm(K2TaF7; 746°C) = 19(1) kJ mol−1 and ΔtransIIIHm(K2TaF7; 771°C) = 13(1) kJ mol−1. The first thermal effect was attributed to a solid-solid phase transition; the second to the incongruent melting of K2TaF7 and the third to mixing of two liquids. These findings are supported by in situ neutron powder diffraction experiments performed in the temperature interval of 654–794°C.

Mayhew is located at west of Columbus, north of Artesia, east of Starkville and south of West Point. According to the United States Geological Survey, a variant name is Mayhew Station. Mayhew Station was the original name given to this community when it was moved from its original site (near Muldrow, Mississippi) to alongside the tracks of the newly built Mobile and Ohio Railroad (later Gulf, Mobile & Ohio) in the very early 1850s. The original location of the town of Mayhew is now referred to as Old Mayhew, but only a cemetery exists there today. Mayhew held the distinction for most of the 20th Century as being home to Stover Apiaries, the world's largest Queen Bee apiary, which shipped queen bees to beekeepers worldwide.
Mayhew is also referred to as Mayhew Junction by area residents, a reference to when US Highways 82 and 45 crossed as at-grade two-lane highways. Before the construction of the new US 82 and the expansion of US 45 to four lanes, the intersection of the original highways was a four way stop, because it was quite dangerous. Several bars and service stations lined the four sides of the original intersection, and were torn down when the new expressways were built over a period of several years between 1975 and 1995.

Clyde Windfarm
Clyde is the largest wind farm in the UK and CDTS were contracted by Blackwells to hydroseed over 1 million m2 of special moorland grasses.
Hydroseeding was used to restore the soil disturbed by the installation of the turbinesand the areas adjacent to the access tracks. Due to the environmentally sensitive nature of the site, a site specific seed mix was formulated based on the local species found in the vicinity of the wind farm. The mix contained Heathers, Bilberries and moorland grasses like Cotton Grass.
CDTS carried out the hydroseeding using their largest hydroseeder a 6000lt, self propelled, four wheel drive unit, which was ideally suited to the conditions due to its ability to manoeuvre around site safely and hydroseed up to 30,000m2 per day. This contract has been successfully completed.

DHCW pleased to enable the Welsh vaccine passport
We're helping to give Welsh people access to vaccination 'passport' certificates.
Our tech and data experts have worked collaboratively with NHS Digital to develop a solution to ensure Welsh vaccination data is available through NHS England's digital COVID Pass service.
This means people in Wales can now access their vaccination status on the internet if they need to travel urgently and meet the vaccine requirements relevant to the country they are travelling to. The NHS COVID Pass can be accessed here.
On day one (25 June) DHCW uploaded over 3.7 million records to the COVID pass service, with ongoing data flows to keep vaccine records up to date.
We also developed the software and database needed to manage requests from people requesting a COVID pass letter.
NHS COVID Pass letters have been available in Wales since May for those who need to urgently travel internationally and provide proof of their vaccination status, with certificates being sent in the post. To date over 18,000 have been requested. The letters will continue to be issued only for people who are unable to access the digital Pass through the Welsh Vaccination Certification Service (WVCS), delivered by Swansea Council's contact tracing team. People can request a bilingual NHS COVID Pass letter by calling 0300 _PHONE_.
The NHS App that is used in England is not available for people to use in Wales currently.


Ask Mr. Smarty Plants
Smoking mint instead of tobacco from Fairfield CA
Author: Barbara Medford
Date: Saturday - March 23, 2013
From: Fairfield, CA
QUESTION: I realize this is a stupid question, but i am a little curious about this. Anyway I heard more people are smoking mint leaves to help cure their addiction to tobacco and i was wondering if it is safe? I know that smoking in general is bad, but i want to know if there is anything specific in mint that can harm the lungs.
There are several reasons why this question falls out of Mr. Smarty Plant's expertise. Our focus is on the growth, propagation and protection of plants native not only to North America but to the area in which those plants grow naturally. There are170 plants in the Lamiaceae (mint) family native to North America, but you are probably asking about the mints native to the Meditteranean area of Europe, widely used for fragrance and food flavoring. So that's the first reason we wouldn't be able to answer questions about smoking it. The second reason is that our first name is "Smarty," which precludes our making any comment at all on the wisdom of sticking any burning plant in our mouth and inhaling the fumes.

In general, as Joel said, it's unnecessary.
In your specific example, though, it is actually pointless. Rectangle is a value type, so setting it to Nothing is not even affecting an object's reference count; it's assigning a new value (the default value for Rectangle) to your myRect variable. This is analogous to having an Integer variable and setting it to 0 at the end of a method. Doesn't buy you anything.
I should point out that the claim "Setting any variable to Nothing [or null in C#] never accomplishes anything"* is a myth. It is entirely possible that you may have a field in a class which you might as well set to null if the object referenced is no longer needed but you still have a reference to the class instance itself.
As a simplistic example, suppose you had some container class which wraps a T[] array, and you give this container an Empty method. It might make sense to set the container's internal array to null in this method, which would result in zero references to the array object, qualifying it for garbage collection. (You would then create a new array when external code next tried to add a T to the collection.) If you did not set the field to null on Empty, then there would still be a reference to the array (i.e., the field), and so that would be a small amount of memory being used that you really don't need.
Like I said, that's a simplistic example. And honestly, it's rare that you ever need to consider scenarios like that. I just thought I would mention it so that you don't get the wrong impression that setting a field to Nothing literally never accomplishes anything.
*I'm not actually quoting anyone specific here; this is just an over-generalization I've heard stated more than once.

What if it was an Image type variable? – Just Kidding Jan 27 '11 at 19:44
_USER_: Then Joel's answer applies (Image is a reference type). Setting it to null per se is not really valuable. On the other hand, Image implements IDisposable so you should take care to dispose of it properly (by calling Dispose or, better, wrapping the variable in a using block outside of which you no longer need it). – Dan Tao Jan 27 '11 at 19:46
Thanks then! :D – Just Kidding Jan 27 '11 at 19:50

Don't do it. This was important to do in the vb6 days, but for.Net it's possible (though very unlikely) for it to actually throw the garbage collector off and have other unexpected side effects.

 1. Select the comb attachment depending on the desired hair length. In the attached file you can find the settings and remaining hair lengths. The remaining hair length is also indicated on each comb.
 2. Slide the selected comb into the guiding grooves on both sides of the Clipper swivel head and push until you hear it click' into place (fig. 1). Make sure the comb attachment locks properly into position.
 3. Turn the Hair Length Setting Adjustment Ring to set the comb to the desired setting (fig. 2). Do not turn the length setting adjustment ring beyond the highest hair length setting.
 4. The arrowhead on the Clipper indicates which setting has been selected.
When you are clipping for the first time, start at the maximum clipping length setting (#5) of the regular comb to familiarize yourself with
the appliance and prevent accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you become familiar with the settings, adjust the Hair Length Selector to desired trimming length.

International differences: units and ingredients aims to help English speakers around the world who are interested in Swedish food by providing reliable, easy-to-follow recipes as well as some background information about Swedish food.
The problem
We may all speak English, but we use different units and sometimes we use different names for ingredients.
Choosing units for recipes
Swedes virtually only ever use electric ovens and measure temperatures in °C and they measure ingredients in grammes and decilitres. However, we thought it was important to use units that are more familiar to readers so we have adopted two sets of units:
- Modern British units, shown first,
- 'American' units, shown afterwards in brackets.
Where possible we recommend using the British units as all recipes on this site are tested using the British units and it is not always possible to find a convenient conversion.
Alternative names are given in brackets
Where we know a different word is used for an ingredient in another part of the world then we put the British word first and then the alternative word in brackets afterwards. For instance, what we in the UK call Rice Krispies are known as Rice Bubbles in Australia (they are used in one our recipes for a Midsummer Cake). Note: we don't bother if there is only a minor spelling difference.
We don't know what we don't know!
We don't know what we don't know! If you find any of our recipes use ingredients that have another English name where you live please let us know so that we can add the alternative name to the recipe to make it easier for other readers.
Our use of italics
We normally put Swedish names in italics after the title of a recipe as many readers are curious to know the Swedish name.
If you are curious to know how a word is pronounced in Swedish we recommend using the audio facility on a translation machine such as Google. When you paste Swedish words into the box a loudspeaker icon will appear, circled in red above. Click on the icon and you can hear the words pronounced. Although not perfect, we think it is better than a written pronunciation guide.
Ovens and temperatures
A lot of British cooks use gas or fan ovens so in the UK three sets of temperatures are normally provided in recipes. We are providing four sets because many of our readers measure temperatures in °F. To help readers we have produced a full conversion chart below for reference.
Conventional Electric °CConventional Electric °FGasFan °C*
110°C 225°F ¼ 100°C
130°C 250°F ½ 120°C
140°C 275°F 1 130°C
150°C 300°F 2 140°C
170°C 325°F 3 150°C
180°C 350°F 4 160°C
190°C 375°F 5 160°C
200°C 400°F 6 170°C
220°C 425°F 7 180°C
230°C 450°F 8 190°C
250°C 475°F 9 200°C
 *For fan ovens you should check the instruction manual that came with your oven.
Weights and volumes
In Britain most ingredients are measured by weight and not volume. Where appropriate we try to give both.
In the case of bread and cake recipes we recommend weighing the ingredients in grammes if you can as it is sometimes hard to determine an equivalent volume.
Some other practical conversions are given below:
1 tsp = 5 ml
1 tbsp = 15 ml
1 cup = 236 ml
1 pint = 550 ml
1 oz = 28 g
8 oz = 225 g
1 lb = 450 g
1" = 2.5 cm
In the UK there are four main types of cream, whereas in America there are three main types. The table below shows the main differences.
Butterfat content British name American name
10.5 -18% Not usually sold but can be made by mixing whole milk and cream Half and half cream
18 - 20% Single cream Single cream but sometimes called light cream
30% Not usually sold Whipping cream
30-40% Whipping cream Heavy cream (sometimes also called heavy whipping cream)
48% Double cream Not usually sold
55 - 60% Clotted cream Devonshire cream
In most recipes it won't matter if you substitute a different cream with a similar fat content. For example, you can easily substitute heavy cream for double cream. However, anything with less than 30% fat content is hard to whip.
Unless stated otherwise, recipes in the UK that refer to flour normally mean plain (all-purpose) wheat flour. This is a fairly soft flour, suitable for making cakes and biscuits. However, it is normally too soft for bread making. As a result we normally use imported Canadian or Russian flour for bread making and this is sold as strong flour, although occasionally we grow a Canadian variety of wheat in the UK specially for bread making. In American you can use all-purpose flour in place of strong flour, although it is probably better to use bread flour.
Swedes use a wide range of flours with most breads containing at least some rye flour. The availability of rye flour is improving, but you may need to go to a health food store to buy rye flour or you can buy it online.
Potato and cornflour
What we call potato flour in the UK is called potato starch in the America. Similarly what we call cornflour in the UK is called cornstarch in America.
Caster sugar
In the UK there are two types of granulated white sugar that are readily available: granulated and a finer granulated sugar called caster sugar, often called superfine sugar in America. In most recipes you can substitute granulated sugar for caster sugar.
Confectioner's/Icing sugar
Confectioners' sugar or powdered sugar are American terms. In the UK confectioners' sugar is called icing sugar. (For more information about sugars for Swedish food please click here.)
Despite the claims in some cookery books, fresh yeast is not readily available in many parts of the UK. Instead supermarkets and delicatessens tend to stock dried yeast. This comes in two forms but our recipes normally use fast-action, sometimes called 'Easy bake' yeast or 'quick yeast'. As that is the type of yeast that most people in the UK can buy easily it is the only type used on this site. (For more information about yeast for Swedish food please click here.)
Availability of ingredients
Where we know that ingredients are hard to obtain in the UK or in America we will try and suggest alternatives. If you have any suggestions to help please do not hesitate to let us know.
Different words
Where we know that Brits and Americans and/or Australians use different words for the same thing we will try to put the British word first and then the alternative name in brackets afterwards. The main differences are:
British word American or Australian word
Aubergine Egg plant
Beetroot Beet
Bicarbonate of soda Baking soda
Biscuit Cookie
Broad beans Lima beans
Caster sugar Granulated sugar
Chips Fries
Cling film Food wrap or cling wrap
Cornflour Cornstarch
Courgette Zucchini
Crisps Chips
Dark chocolate Bittersweet chocolate
Desiccated coconut Dry unsweetened shredded
Greaseproof paper Waxed paper

Netflix Sencha Touch 2 app with JayData
Author: Viktor Lazar June 7th, 2012
,,,,
JayData seamlessly integrates into Sencha Touch 2 through the JayData Sencha module. You only have to modify the proxy on your Sencha data store to use the JayData proxy and define a queryable as the data source. Using remoteFilter, remoteSort and pageSize your query will be processed by JayData. Currently the module only supports read-only functions. To add, update or delete entities you can still use JayData directly in your code.
To follow this tutorial it's required to have basic knowledge of Sencha Touch 2 to understand the Sencha Touch 2 parts of the tutorial.
You can see the final app here.
Initializing the JayData context
Initializing the JayData context is easy as always. This Netflix app uses the public OData service of Netflix. After running the JaySvcUtil tool to get the context definition of the Netflix service you only have to reference the context script. JaySvcUtil already includes an instance of the context in the generated script so you don't have to do it manually. Here you can find a tutorial about using the JaySvcUtil tool.
Store definition using JayData proxy
JayData integrates itself into Sencha Touch 2 through a data proxy. You only have to define the JayData proxy on your store. Here is the store definition part of our example:
As you can see the proxy uses a queryable as the data source instead of an URL like other Sencha server stores. This way you can use any queryable of any context you defined and instantiated in your application. You are not restricted to the OData provider. You can use the Facebook, YQL or any other providers of JayData too.
Predefined query filtering and sorting is supported like in the example. By default we sort the data as defined in the store and you can have as many query operators in the store definition as you want.
From now on you can use the filtering, sorting and paging functions of the store as is.
The function parameter of the filterBy function of the Sencha store or any other filter or sort method of the store where you can pass a function as a parameter you literally pass the function to the equivalent JayData method (like.filter(),.orderBy(), etc.).
If a use case is not supported by Sencha or the JayData module you can still use JayData directly. Like in the details view of a movie. When a movie item is tapped we load the details in the event listener function.
In the above source code part we directly query the database using JayData. For the data query we don't use anything from the Sencha library. But in the callback function of the toArray method we build the content using the templating engine of Sencha.
Native mobile app
The Netflix example app is a hybrid application. You can launch it in the browser or you can use PhoneGap and convert it to a native mobile app. Because of the browser limitation of cross-domain AJAX calls you have to include a few additional lines if you want to deploy the app on the web.
With this function we hijack the AJAX request to transform it to a JSONP request. This way the cross-domain issue no longer bothers you. But be careful because JSONP is only valid in a read-only scenario.

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.

For Anime Model Eyes
2D Eyes Focus
2D eyes focus is suitable for the model which is using fully textured on eyes area.
- Unity 3D
- 3D model which only use a texture for each eyes. Example: (Eye texture)
+Open your ready model and Export using FBX. :
+Import the model into Unity. Make sure the size in Unity is proper scale 1, 1, 1
+Import the custom package of "2D Eyes Focus'
+Add Xeno Eye Iris Focus Component on 3D model inspector
+Set 'Head Model' or any model which have Eyes Material on it
+For the "Eye Level" you need to create child GameObject on your model.
+Make sure the axis of Z (Blue) is aligned with your model facing.
+Now you can rename your 'GameObject' with 'EyeLevel. And now make the head bone as its parent
+Now set the transform position of 'Eye Level' to all 0, 0, 0.
Probably you want to set your rotation to 80, 270, 0. But make sure your 'Eye Level' z-axis is facing same direction with your model face.
+Now you can drag the 'Eye level' into the empty slot of Eye level in 2d eye focus inspector
+'Target' Empty slot is the target for the iris to focus/tracking/follow around. It's up to you what kind of target you want to use.
If you want to use script and change the target in real-time, use this method to call:
var NewTarget : Transform;
var EyeFocusScript : XenoEyeIrisFocus;
EyeFocusScript.Target = NewTarget;
+Eye Setting drop down to setting the eyes. It's all explanatory in the inspector
Have a nice trying 🙂


Animal Transport
What is an Animal Transport?
Animal transport is the commercial transport of live animals using motor vehicles. This also applies to the movement of animals in Germany as defined by the German Animal Welfare Transport Ordinance. The animal transportation involves the movement of livestock.
The conditions under which the animals may be transported are legally regulated in the European Regulation on the Protection of Animals during Transport. This regulation has been in force for all member states since January 2007. In Germany, the European requirements are implemented by means of a national animal welfare transport ordinance.

Where the trees are naturally musical
For centuries, the spruces of the Violin's Forest have been used in the world's finest instruments
Geography and climate have conspired to produce extraordinary trees in the forests east of Predazzo. Managed for 900 years by the Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme, their timber resonates with an unusually clear and consistent tone, and they have inspired both instrument makers and musicians for centuries.
In winter, all forests feel magical. Hushed and white beneath their mantles of snow, they're beautiful places in which to strap on a pair of snowshoes, and go for a walk.
But for music lovers no forest is more bewitching than la Foresta dei Violini, just east of Paneveggio in the Val di Fiemme. Called, in English, the Violin's Forest, it was colonized long ago by red Italian spruces, and they grow straight and slow along its chilly and sheltered slopes. As a result, their wood is dense and consistent, and makes near-perfect soundboards for musical instruments. Stradivarius used it, and it's still sought after for the world's finest violins, cellos, pianos and guitars. In fact, 10% of the trees here are suitable for this sacred purpose, compared with an average of 0.8%.
The Violin's Forest is just east of the visitor centre of the Nature Park of Paneveggio–Pale di San Martino, which has a small museum dedicated to these musical trees. It also offers guided walks, where you'll learn about the history of the forest, and its careful management. It is, for example, thought that trees intended for soundboards are best harvested during a waning moon in early winter, so that there is less sap in the timber.
The more adventurous should also seek out il Bosco che Suona – "the Valley of Harmony" – which is a 5km walk from the car park at the Miola restaurant, in the Valmaggiore. Here too there is a near-perfect micro-climate for musical trees, and in a remarkable new project, musicians are being invited to adopt a tree, and play a piece of music inspired by it. Download the app "Il Bosco che Suona", on Google Play before you go, and you can listen to the results as you walk through the forest.


Nomkhubulwane Zulu Goddess of Rain
Nomkhubulwane, Zulu Goddess of Rain
Nomkhubulwane is the Zulu Goddess of rain, nature, and fertility, and is regarded as the Mother Earth. She is believed to be capable of changing into different types of animals. The name Nomkhubulwane means "she who chooses the state of an animal".
In the olden days the Zulus would plough their fields and have a special one which was ploughed by the whole village collectively and was never weeded or harvested right up to the next ploughing season and the cycle would resume again. I believe there were Nomkhubulwane festivals that were held I am not sure though if it was during ploughing or harvest times.
1 thought on "Nomkhubulwane Zulu Goddess of Rain"
 1. What would the relationship be with "Makobolwane" – a mountain peak in the Mpumalanga Drakensberg. Would this be referring to a AmaSwazi or maPulana name for the same rain / fertility goddess?

text: Engineering problem solving requires both domain knowledge and an understanding of how to apply that knowledge. While much of the recent work in qualitative physics has focused on building reusable domain theories, there has been little attention paid to representing the control knowledge necessary for applying these models. This paper shows how qualitative representations and compositional modeling can be used to create control knowledge for solving engineering problems. This control knowledge includes modeling assumptions, plans and preferences. We describe an implemented system, called TPS (Thermodynamics Problem Solver) that illustrates the utility of these ideas in the domain of engineering thermodynamics. TPS to date has solved over 30 problems, and its solutions are similar to those of experts. We argue that our control vocabulary can be extended to most engineering problem solving domains, and employed in a wide variety of problem solving architectures.

Wonnangatta Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
All that remains today of the Wonnangatta Station homestead. The stones outline the original floorplan.
Wonnangatta Station is located in Victoria
Wonnangatta Station
Wonnangatta Station
Wonnangatta Station location
The Wonnangatta Station was a cattle station located in a remote valley of the Victorian Alps, Australia. According to writer Harry Stephenson the station, while it operated, was "the most isolated homestead in Victoria." [1][2]
The nearest population centres were the goldfield towns of Talbotville, about 20 miles (32 km) away, Grant and Dargo to the south-east, and the larger town of Mansfield, about 80 miles (130 km) away over the Great Dividing Range.
The Wonnangatta Station homestead was accidentally burnt down by bushwalkers in 1957. Some stockyards and the old cemetery, which has been restored to something resembling its original form, survive. Today the area is part of the Alpine National Park, and is only accessible by Four-wheel drive, dirt bike, horse or on foot. The station remains a popular offroad destination and has numerous facilities for campers, including septic toilets and concrete fire pits.
The station had been established in the 1860s by Oliver Smith, a North American who came across the valley while prospecting for gold. Smith's common law wife Ellen or "Nancy"[3] and her son Harry joined him and a homestead was built near the junction of the Wonnangatta River and Conglomerate Creek.[4]
Some time later Ellen died in childbirth,[5] and soon after Smith sold out to William Bryce before eventually returning to the United States.
The Bryce family then occupied the station while Ellen's son Harry Smith moved down the valley and established himself at Eaglevale. The Bryce family remained a presence at Wonnangatta until Mrs Bryce died in 1914 at the age of 78. Ten Bryce children were brought up at Wonnangatta. As the children grew up they moved away and after Mrs Bryce's death the property was sold to Mansfield owners in 1916, who installed a manager to run the station.
The Wonnangatta Murders[edit]
The station and surrounding area are the site of the still-unsolved Wonnangatta murders which occurred in late 1917 and 1918.

The content of circuits and Arduino sketches can vary greatly. Before you get started, there is one simple process for uploading a sketch to an Arduino board that you can refer back to.
Follow these steps to upload your sketch:
 1. Connect your Arduino using the USB cable.
 The square end of the USB cable connects to your Arduino and the flat end connects to a USB port on your computer.
 2. Choose Tools→Board→Arduino Uno to find your board in the Arduino menu.
 You can also find all boards through this menu, such as the Arduino MEGA 2560 and Arduino Leonardo.
 3. Choose the correct serial port for your board.
 You find a list of all the available serial ports by choosing Tools→Serial Port→ comX or /dev/tty.usbmodemXXXXX. X marks a sequentially or randomly assigned number. In Windows, if you have just connected your Arduino, the COM port will normally be the highest number, such as com 3 or com 15.
 Many devices can be listed on the COM port list, and if you plug in multiple Arduinos, each one will be assigned a new number. On Mac OS X, the /dev/tty.usbmodem number will be randomly assigned and can vary in length, such as /dev/tty.usbmodem1421 or /dev/tty.usbmodem262471. Unless you have another Arduino connected, it should be the only one visible.
 4. Click the Upload button.
 This is the button that points to the right in the Arduino environment. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+U for Windows or Cmd+U for Mac OS X.

Paging, or pagination, is the process of splitting a dataset into pages, reading one page at a time. This is useful for optimizing bandwidth traffic, optimizing hardware usage, or just because no user can handle huge amounts of data at once anyway.
RavenDB makes it very easy to work with paging. In fact, with large data sets, it makes it mandatory (see: Safe By Default).
It is as simple as specifying a page size and passing a starting point. Using Linq from the Client API, it looks like this:
// Assuming a page size of 10, this is how will retrieve the 3rd page: var results = session.Query().Skip(20) // skip 2 pages worth of posts.Take(10) // Take posts in the page size.ToArray(); // execute the query
Finding the total results count when paging
While paging you sometimes need to know the exact number of results returned from the query. The Client API supports this explicitly:
RavenQueryStatistics stats; var results = session.Query().Statistics(out stats).Where(x => x.Category == "RavenDB").Take(10).ToArray(); var totalResults = stats.TotalResults;
While the query will return with just 10 results,
totalResults will hold the total number of matching documents.
Paging through tampered results
For some queries, RavenDB will skip over some results internally, and by that invalidate the
TotalResults value. For example when executing a Distinct query,
TotalResults will contain the total count of matching documents found, but will not take into account results that were skipped as a result of the
SkippedResults is greater than 0 it implies that we skipped over some results in the index.
In order to do proper paging in those scenarios, you should use the
SkippedResults when telling RavenDB how many documents to skip. In other words, for each page the starting point should be
.Skip(currentPage * pageSize + SkippedResults).
For example, assuming a page size of 10:
RavenQueryStatistics stats; // get the first page var results = session.Query().Statistics(out stats).Skip(0 * 10) // retrieve results for the first page.Take(10) // page size is 10.Where(x => x.Category == "RavenDB").Distinct().ToArray(); var totalResults = stats.TotalResults; var skippedResults = stats.SkippedResults; // get the second page results = session.Query().Statistics(out stats).Skip((1 * 10) + skippedResults) // retrieve results for the second page, taking into account skipped results.Take(10) // page size is 10.Where(x => x.Category == "RavenDB").Distinct().ToArray(); // and so on...

6.4.11 Duplicates
If you are a member of a couple of mailing lists, you will sometimes receive two copies of the same mail. This can be quite annoying, so nnmail checks for and treats any duplicates it might find. To do this, it keeps a cache of old Message-IDs: nnmail-message-id-cache-file, which is ~/.nnmail-cache by default. The approximate maximum number of Message-IDs stored there is controlled by the nnmail-message-id-cache-length variable, which is 1000 by default. (So 1000 Message-IDs will be stored.) If all this sounds scary to you, you can set nnmail-treat-duplicates to warn (which is what it is by default), and nnmail won't delete duplicate mails. Instead it will insert a warning into the head of the mail saying that it thinks that this is a duplicate of a different message.
This variable can also be a function. If that's the case, the function will be called from a buffer narrowed to the message in question with the Message-ID as a parameter. The function must return either nil, warn, or delete.
You can turn this feature off completely by setting the variable to nil.
If you want all the duplicate mails to be put into a special duplicates group, you could do that using the normal mail split methods:
 (setq nnmail-split-fancy
 '(| ;; Messages duplicates go to a separate group.
 ("gnus-warning" "duplicat\\(e\\|ion\\) of message" "duplicate")
 ;; Message from daemons, postmaster, and the like to another.
 (any mail "mail.misc")
 ;; Other rules.
 [...] ))
Or something like:
 (setq nnmail-split-methods
 '(("duplicates" "^Gnus-Warning:.*duplicate")
 ;; Other rules.
Here's a neat feature: If you know that the recipient reads her mail with Gnus, and that she has nnmail-treat-duplicates set to delete, you can send her as many insults as you like, just by using a Message-ID of a mail that you know that she's already received. Think of all the fun! She'll never see any of it! Whee!

text: Objectives. We examined the prospective effects of parental education (as a proxy for individual socioeconomic status [SES]) and neighborhood SES on adolescent smoking trajectories and whether the prospective effects of individual SES varied across neighborhood SES. Methods. The study included 3635 randomly recruited adolescents from 5 age cohorts (12-16 years) assessed semiannually for 3 years in the Minnesota Adolescent Community Cohort study. We employed a cohort-sequential latent growth model to examine smoking from age 12 to 18 years with predictors. Results. Lower individual SES predicted increased levels of smoking over time. Whereas neighborhood SES had no direct effect, the interaction between individual and neighborhood SES was significant. Among higher and lower neighborhood SES, lower individual SES predicted increased levels of smoking; however, the magnitude of association between lower individual SES and higher smoking levels was significantly greater for higher neighborhood SES. Conclusions. We found evidence for differential effects of individual SES on adolescent smoking for higher and lower neighborhood SES. The group differences underscore social conditions as fundamental causes of disease and development of interventions and policies to address inequality in the resources.


Exactly what does it Indicate When You Name Your Baby Sugar Baby?
 - Home
"Sugar Baby" is one of the many names which has been given to the brand new genre of baby titles that are turning out to be popular in nation and the British isles. So what really does it indicate? Sugar baby is short for nice baby or sugar baby. This is a baby brand that _URL_ has been taken from the baby meals industry and is not related to the infant's health by any means. "Sugar" is simply name that sounds lovely.
What does it mean when somebody names their very own baby Sugar Baby? The meaning is pretty simple; the infant is going to be a small baby and the parents will attempt to keep the sugar absorption to a minimum mainly because that can actually cause medical problems. It is funny how that actually works because it actually is in the identity but the name is what is will make or break the baby. It is rather common to have child girl and have a child boy known as the same sugar babies sugar daddies thing, but in this case it might not be and so common.
"Sugar babies" because they are known to have been chosen seeing that the _URL_ favored brand of parents diagnosed with a family history of sugar gliders. The gliders are marsupials that are mostly from Sydney. They are primarily nocturnal in nature and in addition they primarily take in insects as their diet. They are small in size at about two pounds and the females are usually about ten pounds in pounds.

There is no partial initialization in C. An object either isn't initialized at all, or it is fully initialized. {0} explicitly initializes the first member to 0 and implicitly initializes (to 0) all other members. – pmg Jun 28 '11 at 9:02

With matrix test1 = { 0 } you will initialize test1 with all zero's and with matrix test1 = { { 0 } } You will initialize test1.data. with all zero's in this case it does the same actually since you don't have any other data definitions in your struct :)

That means, if I had another member in the struct then, using { { 0 } } wouldn't initialize the second variable as zero? But, that doesn't happen, however I use single or double, all are being initialized with zero! – iamcreasy Jun 28 '11 at 8:36


of a value, it also has another use: since "Find" returns the default value for the type T to indicate "not found", you need to use Exists for predicates that might match null or zero, such as: bool containsEven = list.Exists(delegate(int x) { return (x % 2) == 0; }); TrueForAll(Predicate<T>): Similar to Exists, but determines whether the predicate is satisfied by all elements of the list. For example, this line of code might run some tests and see if they all pass: if (tests.TrueForAll(delegate(Test t) { t.Run(); return t.SuccessCode == 0; }) FindAll(Predicate<T>): Creates a new list containing all elements satisfying a predicate. In functional languages this is sometimes called select or filter, as we're "filtering out" the parts of the list not satisfying the predicate. Here's an example which, in a single line, gets a list of all processes using more than k threads: List<Process> x = new List<Process>(Process.GetProcesses()).FindAll( delegate(Process p) { return p.Threads.Count > k; }); FindIndex(Predicate<T>): Just like Find, except that instead of returning the first value that satisfies the predicate, it returns its index in the list. For example, this expression yields the index of the first alphabetical character in a string: new List(s.ToCharArray()).FindIndex(Char.IsLetter) FindLastIndex(Predicate<T>): Same as FindIndex, except that it finds the last occurrence satisfying the predicate. ForEach(Predicate<T>): Simply executes the given delegate on each member of the list. Although just using a foreach loop is cleaner than using ForEach with an anonymous delegate, ForEach is still handy if you already have a named delegate, as in this example that deletes all the files in the current directory: new List<string>(Directory.GetFiles(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())).ForEach(File.Delete); ConvertAll(Predicate<T>): Perhaps the most powerful of the delegate-based List methods, ConvertAll feeds each element of the list through a conversion function, producing a new list. In functional languages this is often called map because, like a mathematical function, it "maps" one set to another. Here's a simple example which produces a list of strings that are the lowercased versions of the strings in the original input list: list.ConvertAll(delegate(string s) { return s.ToLower(); }); What's more, besides being individually useful, complex transformations can be achieved by chaining these methods together in clever ways. For example, here's two lines of code that produce a list of all files larger than a given size in a given directory: static List<string> GetBigFiles(string directory, int bigLength) { List<string> paths = new List<string>(Directory.GetFiles(directory)); return paths.ConvertAll<FileStream>( File.OpenRead ).FindAll( delegate(FileStream f) { return f.Length >= bigLength; } ).ConvertAll<string>( delegate(FileStream f) { return f.Name; } ); } The first ConvertAll opens all the files by using the static library method "File.OpenRead" as the converter. The FindAll filters out just the FileStream objects corresponding to large files. The final ConvertAll extracts the filenames from each stream. Each of these "list filters" is independently reusable. At first this way of programming may seem unusual or cumbersome, but just compare the size of the above method to a procedural implementation. Don't forget also that you can write your own methods taking delegates to reap more benefits from anonymous delegates. A frequently useful application is for error handling and debugging code. Suppose you find yourself writing several methods that all look like this: void foo() { Debug.Write("entering foo()"); try { // Do some stuff } catch (Exception e) { // Do some stuff throw; } Debug.Write("exiting foo()"); } It's not clear how to factor out the two "Do some stuff" parts, since they're nested right in the middle of the method. Once again, anonymous delegates are the answer. We can write a method like this taking delegates for the parts that get filled in: delegate void DoAction(); delegate bool ProcessException(Exception e); void DebugInvoke(string name, DoAction action, ProcessException processException) { Debug.Write("entering " + name); try { a(); } catch (Exception e) { if (processException(e)) { throw; } } Debug.Write("exiting " + name); } Now we can mix-and-match try bodies and catch bodies at will, and get the tracing for free: void foo(int x, int y) { int z = 0; DebugInvoke("addFoo", delegate() { z = x + y; }, OverflowHandler); DebugInvoke("addBar", delegate() { z = z + x; }, delegate(Exception e) { Debug.Assert(false); return true; }); DebugInvoke("addBaz", delegate() { y = z + z; }, OverflowHandler); } static bool OverflowHandler(Exception e) { if (e is OverflowException) { Debug.Write("Encountered overflow"); return true; } return false; } Unfortunately, anonymous delegate syntax, while much more concise than the alternative, is still a bit verbose, requiring not only the word "delegate" but full argument lists. One of the goals of the next version of C# is to encourage the use of these functional idioms, partly by introducing a new closure syntax that will take advantage of type inference to overcome this syntactic overhead. Just remember to keep this rule of thumb in mind: if you're iterating over a list, and the body of the foreach is pretty small, chances are you don't need to. See if you can do the same thing more concisely and with less risk using a combination of the above methods and anonymous delegates (and amaze your coworkers). I hope you found this article helpful.MSDNArchive large numbers with quadratic sieveToday I'm going to talk about how the quadratic sieve factoring algorithm works, giving a comprehensive description assuming knowledge of only basic university-level mathematics. The foundation of the most popular public-key cryptography algorithm in use today, RSA, rests on the difficulty of factoring large integers. When keys are generated, efficient algorithms are used to generate two very large prime numbers and multiply them together. The person who generated the keys knows these two numbers, but everyone else only knows the product. The product contains enough information to encrypt a message to the person; the two primes allow the recipient to decrypt it. There is no known way to decrypt it without using the primes, but by factoring, we can extract the two prime factors from the product and break the encryption. At the time that RSA was invented in 1977, factoring integers with as few as 80 decimal digits was intractable; all known algorithms were either too slow or required the number to have a special form. This made even small, 256-bit keys relatively secure. The first major breakthrough was quadratic sieve, a relatively simple factoring algorithm invented by Carl Pomerance in 1981, which can factor numbers up to 100 digits and more. It's still the best known method for numbers under 110 digits or so; for larger numbers, the general number field sieve (GNFS) is now used. However, the general number field sieve is extremely complicated, and requires extensive explanation and background for even the most basic implementation. However, GNFS is based on the same fundamental ideas as quadratic sieve, so if factoring the largest numbers in the world is your goal, this is the place to start. We'll begin by addressing a few problems that at first glance have nothing to do with factoring, then assemble them into a working algorithm. I won't be motivating them first, but trust me - they're important. Finding a subset of integers whose product is a square Suppose I give you a set of integers and I ask you to find a subset of those integers whose product is a square, if one exists. For example, given the set {10, 24, 35, 52, 54, 78}, the product 24×52×78 is 97344 = 3122. The brute-force solution, trying every subset, is too expensive because there

PINETOP, Ariz. — Biologists from multiple agencies working on the Mexican Wolf Interagency Field Team (IFT) have been surveying Mexican wolf end-of-year population numbers since Nov. 1, 2021. Those surveys are expected to continue through Feb. 2.
Population numbers are essential for the Mexican wolf due to the subspecies' status as an endangered species.
Ground counts of wolf packs and single wolves in Arizona and New Mexico began Nov. 1. The ground count is conducted in November and December, and that period is followed by an aerial count and capture operation conducted by the IFT using helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft. The dates for the upcoming aerial count and capture operation are Jan. 21 through Feb. 2, weather permitting. Agency personnel will be limited for this year's aerial operation, and numerous precautions will be implemented to limit the exposure to and possible spread of COVID-19.
Residents of Alpine, Ariz., and Reserve and Magdalena, N.M., and surrounding areas may notice several daily flights of a low-flying helicopter over their communities during this period, as biologists conduct their annual wolf population survey and capture. Survey flights will occur on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, Apache-Sitgreaves, Cibola and Gila national forests in eastern Arizona and western New Mexico, and possibly on some areas immediately outside the forests.
The IFT is in the process of contacting private landowners for permission to land on their property to capture a wolf, if necessary, and is coordinating with land management agencies and county sheriff offices on survey operation details. Details of the 2021 wolf population census are anticipated to be available in March 2022.
