A normal ResultSet data isn't retrieved until you do the next call. The ResultSet isn't a memory table, it's a cursor. Suppose the problem sorted out for the less than 1 lack records. but how to get more than that count??
how many is "1 lack"? I'm sort of familiar with "lakhs", which I assue is what you mean. However, if you write in terms that everyone will understand, eg. in 100.000 records, you'll probably get better responses.
You might be interested in the setFetchSize() method of the Statement class. This allows you to set number of rows that will be retrieved from the database in one call. Setting it to a value of about 100 migth be a good idea. I wouldn't set it too high, though. What we want is to establish a nice flow from the database to the client in chunks that can be easily processed.
Also check the performance of your SQL query. If you read all data from a single table, not much can be done to speed things up (depending on your database), but if the data are produced using a more complicated query, there might be ample space for improvements.
Apart from this, at least three more things can be done to speed things up:
1) Retrieve columns from the resultset by their position, not by name. It saves the translation from name to column position for every access.
2) Avoid creation of objects if possible. If you're reading ints from the database just to write them to a file, don't convert them to Integers. Nulls have to be handled separately in this case, however it can save substantial processing time (my own experience).
3) If the processing of obtained records takes some time, think about using producer-consumer desing pattern. You'd have one thread to extract the data from the resultset as quick as possible and then call the next() method, while another thread would process the data. That way you could be able to crunch the data (eg. format them and write to the file) while next batch is being retrieved from the database. Some fine-tuning with respect to the fetch size and queue size will be necessary. However this is quite a lot of work, so I'd probably not choose this path unless I was really desperate.
Nothing "happens to them" (whatever you meant by that). You get them in the normal way by reading them from the ResultSet. Have another look at the API documentation for the setFetchSize method as I think you may have misunderstood it.
Any sufficiently advanced technology will be used as a cat toy. And this tiny ad contains a very small cat:

Title: A Sweet Smell of Roses
Author: Angela Johnson
Illustrator: Eric Velasquez
Publisher: Aladdin Paperbacks
Publication Date: 2005
Audience: The intended audience is agest 5 – 8. However, the theme of this book, the illustrations and the storyline makes this book suitable and attractive to people of all ages. It functions very well as a book to be used to read to young children; it can operate as a challenge for newer readers because of the vocabulary used and it works well as both a conversation starter or lesson for adolescents through adults. The audience will broaden still when you look to expanding the audience beyond age. With a theme centered on the Civil Rights Movement, any and all nationalities could benefit. It can be used to help inspire the young and old to find and use their voice and/or stand up for right. It can be used to challenge and resolve conflict.
Summary: A Sweet Smell of Roses is the story of two young sisters who sneak out of the house in order to be part of a civil rights march in their town. The two young girls get to witness amazing things, like getting to see and hear Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., to clap and sing with the crowd they march with, and to be carried on the shoulders of some members of the crowd as they travel through the streets. They also get to experience the negative aspects of the march, in the form of words of hate that are yelled at the group along the way. By the end of the book, they make their way back home to an anxious mother who is very happy to see them. Throughout the book, we hear about the sweet smell of roses that is constantly in the air.
Central literary elements at work in the book: The book is told from a first person perspective which seems to be that of the eldest sister. We never learn her name, but learn her younger sister is named Minnie. The wonderful illustrations are done in an antique style of black and white with each pairing of pages containing a little splash of red. These splashes of red show up are in the little ribbon around Minnie's bear's neck and in the red of the flag as it appears on several pages and in the red of the roses that are mentioned throughout. I think, although red is so often connected to blood and love, I see the use of the red ribbon on Minnie's bear, for example, presented a symbol of innocence. When red appears on the flag, it can be seen as a symbol of pride in a country that is shared, even with some who hate. There is a page where both the bear and the flag are illustrated, however, only the bear is represented by the red ribbon. Could it be that innocence outweighs pride? It is in this same scene where the crowd is pictured shouting at the marchers "You are not right. Equality can't be yours." Innocence immediately comes to mind, especially when viewing the girl's faces, which show confused sadness, rather than the anger that clearly reflects on many of the faces of the marchers. Even the sweet smell of the roses seems to stand as a testament to innocence.
How does the book present gender, race, culture, etc.: The book, which is dealing with the theme of the civil rights movement, paints a picture of inclusion. While there are pictures of people whom the reader is not sure of their ethnicity, such as the milkman, the mailman and the men in the market; its author is intentional in showing men, women and many people of different races in the group of marchers.
Theological Conversation Partners: Themes that could be made part of a theological discussion around A Sweet Smell of Roses would include the verses that discuss loving your neighbor as yourself. Taking into account that the book is written from the perspective of a child, part of a theological discussion could include the role and responsibilities that children can and should take, not only in their religious life, but that they can play a role in the much larger aspects of our world. Along this theme, Psalms 129:2 would be an excellent partner.
Faith Talk Questions:
- Why do you think the children had to sneak out of the house? What danger do you think they could have faced? Would those dangers be different for our children today? Why or why not?
- Once they reach the crowd and the marchers, the children are swept into the excitement of the march. Imagine yourself experiencing this scene through the eyes of a child. What may have stood out to you? How do you think the children felt about those people yelling at the marchers?
- What was the role of the "sweet smell of roses" that was mentioned throughout the book?
- The mother was happy, not angry, when the children returned home. Why do you think this is?
- What role, if any, do you think God fills in this book?
This review was written by Union Presbyterian Seminary student LaDonna Harrison.

If the angle of the lean of the tree appears to be changing, the tree could be in the process of failing structurally. This is not uncommon following root damage. Decay organisms can invade damaged roots that can structurally weaken the tree causing it to fall.
There are several methods to determine if the angle of lean is changing. You should contact a consulting arborist who is qualified to evaluate the tree and determine if removal is warranted or if other treatments could reduce the risk of failure to acceptable levels.

Isogeometric collocation for implicit dynamics of three-dimensional beams undergoing finite motions
Journal article, Peer reviewed
MetadataShow full item record
Original versionComputer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering. 2019, 356 548-570. 10.1016/j.cma.2019.07.013
We propose a novel approach to the implicit dynamics of shear-deformable geometrically exact beams, based on the isogeometric collocation method combined with the Newmark time integration scheme extended to the rotation group SO(3). The proposed formulation is fully consistent with the underlying geometric structure of the configuration manifold. The method is highly efficient, stable, and does not suffer from any singularity problem due to the (material) incremental rotation vector employed to describe the evolution of finite rotations. Consistent linearization of the governing equations, variables initialization and update procedures are the most critical issues which are discussed in detail in the paper. Numerical applications involving very large motions and different boundary conditions demonstrate the capabilities of the method and reveal the critical role that the high-order approximation in space may have in improving the accuracy of the solution.

An Inverse Problem for a Single Orbit
Bozis G, Department of Physics, University of Thessaloniki, Greece, Tel: +30 2 310 998 111; EMail: [email protected]
Received: May 30, 2018; Accepted: June 8, 2018; Published: June 15, 2018
Citation: Bozis G. An Inverse Problem for a Single Orbit. J Phys Astron. 2018; 6(2):153
The inverse problem of Dynamics for monoparametric families of orbits F(x,y)= c, produced in a potential field, has been studied in the past for various versions (e.g. for one or two or three parametric families, for two or three dimensional potentials in Cartesian or curvilinear coordinates, in inertial or rotating frames etc) [1].
In this report we refer to the planar motion of a unit mass material point P in an inertial frame Oxy, in a two-dimensional potential V= V(x,y), tracing one orbit (or a branch of the whole orbit) given by the equation y= f(x). We answer two questions: (a): The two functions V=V(x,y) and y=f(x) are given arbitrarily. Are they consistent? (b): An equation y= f(x) is given arbitrarily. For which potentials this equation can stand for an orbit?
We denote by Vf = Vf (x )= V(x,y=f(x)). (It stands to reason to call it orbital potential). Similarly e.g. equation and equation. For an arbitrary function A(x,y) we have: Af = A(x,y=f(x)). We consider A(x,y) as adequate if its orbital value is not infinity, i.e. if equation. The total energy of the point P is Ef.
Two Theorems-Examples
Theorem A
An observed branch of an orbit y= f(x) (with f"(x) ≠ 0) can be produced by a given potential V= V(x,y) if and only if
equation (1)
As a hint for the proof, we refer to Szebehely's formula for monoparametric families (as modified by Bozis (1995)) with an appropriate interpretation of the slope function γ (x, y) of the family and the help of both the orbital functions Vf(x) and the orbital function equation, introduced here.
Example: Let us verify that the upper branch of the Newtonian ellipse equation i.e.,equation withequation and Newton's potential equation are compatible. Indeed, with e.g. equation etc., the left hand side of equation (1) gives equation, as expected.
Theorem B
All potentials V(x,y) which (for adequate initial conditions, consistent with Ef ) can produce an observed branch of orbit y= f(x) are given by the formula:
where equation. The function A(x,y) is an adequate arbitrary function and (with the constant of the indefinite integral L(x) taken equal to zero) Ef is the energy of P.
To prove the theorem B, we only need verify that, indeed, the orbit y= f(x) and the potential (2) are consistent, i.e. that they satisfy the equation (1).
Example: For equation we haveequation. So, formula (2) gives one out of the infinitely many potentials which can produce the orbit y = x3 with Ef=1. For equation (so that) this potential is
i. The function y=f(x) is real if EfVf and is defined in an interval of the x-axis which can be found from the inequality L(x) ≤ 0.
ii. If the observed (given) orbit is a straight line f (x) = λx +μ (in which case f"(x)=0), the above formulae (1) and (2) are not applicable. Then, an affirmative answer to the question 1(a) is given if Vyf = λVxf. As to the formula for the question (1b) (giving the totality of potentials producing the straight line f (x) = λx +μ ) now it reads:
equation (3)
where a(x +λy),b(x, y) are arbitrary functions of their respective arguments.
It is directly shown that all the potentials (3) satisfy the relation Vyf = λVxf.

Many shops can be observed in crowded places also not doing well which are opposite a street. Even where the cost of the plot is very high few places are always vacant because of a lane or street opposite to that place.
But some are very good and prosperous even though they face a street opposite to their plot.
This is the Vastu energy which are created by this street some are good and some are bad. In Chinese Feng Shui this phenomena is called as "Poison Arrow" and in Tamil it is called as "Therukuthu".
Always an experienced Vastu Consultant must be approached for rectification. By doing simple rectifications prosperity can be achieved. If not rectified by proper Vastu methods serious misfortunes may happen and whatever investments and efforts are taken might go wasted.
For example in a south-west corner plot, if there is a road opposite to its west of south-west corner it is a major Vastu defect. This road being at a wrong direction as per Vastu Shastra can cause the following troubles to the plot owner and the people living in the house.
- The plot owner may meet with accidents, which can hospitalize him for very long time.
- The people living in the place may commit suicide and die.
- Sudden and un-expected death of elderly people living in the house may happen.
- The females living in the house may become mentally ill or get incurable disease.
- Huge financial loss in business due to unforeseen circumstance can make the owner popper.
- If the main door is kept in the west of south-west corner, the plot owner may go to jail due to a quarrel, can get heart attack, major surgery, accidents of fatal in nature,..Etc.
Vastu remedies for correction of defective plots and houses:-
Vastu Shastra suggests many ways for correcting the defects. Consulting an expert Vastu consultant is suggested to get the best remedial action.
1. These plots can be corrected by dividing the plot in to two, where by the portion opposite the street becomes a separate plot.
2. Shops, Garages, Small temples, Gardens, etc. can be built to divert the bad effects.
3. Separate compound wall must be constructed as explained in the picture below:

GENISTA (Cytisus canariensis) is employed as an hallucinogen in the magic practices of Yaqui medicine men in northern Mexico. Native to the Canary Islands, the plant was introduced into Mexico. Rarely does any nonindigenous plant find its way into the religious and magic customs of a people. Known also by the scientific name Genista canariensis, this species is the "genista" of florists.
Plants of the genus Cytisus are rich in cytisine, an alkaloid of the lupine group. The alkaloid has never been pharmacologically demonstrated to have hallucinogenic activity, but it is known to be toxic and to cause nausea, convulsions, and death through failure of respiration.
About 80 species of Cytisus, belonging to the bean family, Leguminosae, are known in the Atlantic islands, Europe, and the Mediterranean area. Some species are highly ornamental; some are poisonous.

Particularly suitable for large roof and ground mounted systems, the standard version of Innotech Solar's off-grid solar module has a capacity of 80 Wp and customised solar modules can be commissioned from as little as 5 Wp.
Although the ITS Off-grid solar module from provides another option for users in Europe who would like to install a grid-independent power supply, ITS highlight that their solar module is particularly suitable for the African and South American markets whose power grids are often underdeveloped.
The solar module is Innotech Solar's third product line which involves processing and optimising solar cells achieved through two procedures.
In the first, cell impurities are isolated using lasers. The second procedure entails removing parts of non-functioning solar cells – also using laser technology – in such a way that the remaining parts of the solar cells can operate at full capacity. These half and third cells are used in the ITS Economy half cell and ITS Economy third cell solar modules.

On exhibit at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery
One of the reasons I love exhibitions and museums is that they offer opportunities for storytelling and consequently, re-telling, as well. Most museums today are progressive in the sense that they continue a tradition of scholarship and service for the enhancement of public education. While some museums favor presentation methods might be simple and direct, without many opportunities for interactives, they stimulate public interest through the stories in their objects and exhibitions.
One such exhibition I had the chance to see recently was Power Play: China's Empress Dowager, at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian. The Freer and Sackler Galleries at the Smithsonian produce exhibitions on Asian Art and house the Smithsonian's Asian Art collection. This was a special exhibition on photographic prints from the glass plate negatives of the photos in the Freer Sackler Collection.
The exhibition itself is about the Chinese Dowager Empress Cixi, who is widely known through common history as the dominant political figure of the Qing dynasty, from the 1860's until her death in the early 20th century. She was the regent to two successive emperors and was known to be a conservative and tough leader, earning her the monicker of "Dragon Lady".
The photographs that comprise the exhibition were part of a political campaign by the Qing royal court to improve the Empress' undesirable image. Mainly given out as diplomatic gifts and also distributed throughout China (most likely as propaganda for the Qing court), the portraits helped form the ubiqitous "Dragon Lady" we all known in popular culture, but are also windows into a dying lifestyle and the private life of an unparalleled female political figure.
Organized into five sections, the exhibition seeks to provide a deeper and more complex portrait of the Empress by analyzing the subtle themes in each set of photographic prints. Each set of themed photographs convey the intentions of Cixi and her court through specific symbols and imagery. The photographs themselves were taken by a court photographer hired specifically for the task.
The exhibition itself is not large and can easily be walked through in around an hour or so. The objects and sections were paced at just the right rhythm throughout the galleries. The design is also fairly straightforward, placing the greatest emphasis on the photographs and using graphics sparsely yet tastefully.
Each photograph was printed large-scale and gave off a very regal and impressive aura. The galleries were darkened with the chosen wall color, with little ambient light. A spotlight shaped to each portrait provided the illumination for the objects. The overall aura was very much like a dark room but somehow also gave off a sense of theatricality, which was very much in line with the taste of Empress Cixi.
Unlike most fine arts exhibitions, Power Play did away with individual object labels and instead opted for an overarching panel that provided an overview of the exhibition sections and also pointed out details in certain objects. This was an effective technique in my opinion as it allowed visitors to take more time to really spend time looking at the photographs and not feel obligated to read every label on the walls.
The only graphics present in the exhibition were the section panels with the descriptions, and a large, loose wall hanging outside the exhibition exit that acted as a screen from the multimedia theater at the end of the exhibit. There was a very minimalist approach to the design, with the only semblance of ornamentation in the graphics being the seal of the empress imprinted on the graphic panels and exit screen. This I feel went well with the presentation of the photographs, and gave a very impressive, strong, and distinct presence.
Power Play is a great example of an exhibition with simple objects and a minimalist presentation technique that could have a potentially large impact on the stories surrounding a familiar historical figure. I know that my personal perception of the last empress was illuminated in some way. Hopefully more exhibitions like this can open avenues for discussion and stimulate interest in viewing history as a continuously changing part of the human experience.

my cruise wont work
just bought an 03 dodge diesel pickup and my cruise wont work. when i turn cruise on it shows up on my hud that says cruise. but when i push the set button nothing happens. wondering if its just the switch or something else in the cpu or something else
3 Answers
 Cruise control systems have been with us for years. They work very effectively to control the speed of the vehicle, but when they fail they can be a bear to diagnose and fix.
 Cruise control systems are comprised of electronic and mechanical subsystems. This is how they work.
 We all know that the things that control the speed of the car are the gas pedal and the brakes. And the brain that normally controls the speed of the car is the brain of the driver. The driver senses the speed by looking at the speedometer and then adjusting the pressure on the gas pedal or the brakes to compensate for variations in the desired speed. The cruise control system does the same thing with one exception. It only controls the gas pedal - it doesn't even know there are brakes in the car!!
 The vehicle's speed sensor which is mounted on the output shaft of the transmission (the thing that drives the wheels) sends electrical pulses to the computer, pulses which are generated by a magnet spinning past a sensor coil. When the vehicle's speed increases the frequency of the pulses increases. For any given speed of the vehicle there is a corresponding pulse frequency. It is this pulse frequency which the cruise control tries to maintain as a constant. You think of it as the vehicle's speed.
 The brains of the control box of the cruise control has three functions. First, it stores the speed of the vehicle when you press the "set" button whild travelling at the desired speed. It keeps this value in its memory until you turn the ignition off. Second, it receives the pulses from the transmission sensor and compares the frequency of those pulses to the frequency value stored in its memory - the set point. Third, it sends pulses to a vacuum controlled diaphragm connected to the accelerator linkage. The pulses it sends regulates the amount of vacuum the diaphragm receives. The more pulses, the more vacuum and the more vacuum the more force on the accelerator linkage. The system continues to add vacuum force until the set point speed is reached. At that point the system modulates the amount of vacuum the diaphragm receives in an effort to maintain the number of pulses coming from the speed sensor as close to the stored value as possible.
 OK, so this "brain" works just fine in controlling the speed of the vehicle until something goes wrong. What can go wrong?
 First, the VSS, the thing that sends pulses to the brain might fail. Normally the speedometer also fails so that's pretty easy to diagnose.
 Next, the power to the brain can be interrupted. A blown fuse or a corroded connector can prevent the brain from working correctly or at all.
 Next, the brains can lose its ability to function. A faulty component can prevent the brain from doing its thing. The brain is a pretty sophisticated box that contains a lot of electronic components including a microprocessor. Normally when the brains fail you need to replace the box..
 The vacuum diaphragm can develop a leak. If that happens then the cruise control might set and hold the speed for some time however if the leak is larger than the supply line and modulator can add vacuum to the system the system will slowly lose control and the vehicle will slow down. This can also happen if the vacuum line to the diaphragm is cracked or loose.
 Finally, the linkage that connects the diaphragm to the accelerator linkage can fail. Some aftermarket cruise control systems use a short length of what looks like fat key chain - bead chain. I have seen several units fail when the chain simply breaks.
 Diagnosis of a failed system can be a complex process. Most vehicle shop manuals have a multi-page diagnostic flow chart that the dealer mechanics use to solve failures. If there isn't an obvious problem like a broken wire, a blown fuse or a leaking vacuum line then the problem most likely lies in the brains of the unit or in the switch that sets the speed and contains the other functions of resume and accelerate. Most cruise control switches are on the directional signal stem, a multifunction switch assembly with fine wires that break due to the constant motion of the wires as you use the directional in your daily travels.
 If you do an initial diagnosis and can't find the problem then go to the library in your town and get the shop manual. That is the only way you stand a chance of diagnosing and fixing the problem.

A Millennium of Catholicism in Hungary
The Catholic faith has a deep and lasting legacy in the history of the Hungarian people. Not too many nations can boast of the canonization of one of their former monarchs as Hungary can of its beloved King St. Stephen.
The Catholic faith that was established in this western European nation – although challenged by Islam, Protestantism, and Communism – is still solid today. In fact, the new Hungarian constitution that will take effect in January 2012 has strongly reaffirmed the nation's dedication to its Catholic foundations. (Read my Catholic Gene article Hungary's New Constitution Reestablishes its Foundation on the Catholic Faith of its Forefathers.)
Today, November 17, we remember another beloved Hungarian saint, although unlike King St. Stephen, she never actually lived in what is now considered present-day Hungary. This 13th century queen-turned-Franciscan-tertiary is remembered as St. Elizabeth of Hungary (Szent Erzsébet in Hungarian) although she was born in the area that is now known as Bratislava, Slovakia (then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire). Elizabeth was promised in marriage to a prince and at the age of four went to live with his family in what is now Marburg, Germany. Despite her royal status, she lived a life of generosity and simplicity committed to the works of mercy as inspired by St. Francis of Assisi.
Being named Lisa (which derives from Elizabeth) and having Hungarian heritage, I've adopted St. Elizabeth of Hungary as one of my patron saints. Today as I celebrate both my Hungarian heritage and the feast day of this holy young queen, I'd like to take you on a tour of the Hungarian Roman Catholic genealogy resources which are central to every genealogist's search for ancestors in Hungary, no matter what faith they practiced.
Hungarian Genealogy 101
Anyone searching for vital records in Hungary before 1895 will have to rely on church records. Civil registration in the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not begin until that year. The Catholic faith has long been the prominent religion in Hungary, and although there are a handful of other churches that also kept records, even a search for non-Catholic ancestors may benefit from a visit to the records of the Roman Catholic Church. From the years 1730 to 1787, priests were required to keep records for all citizens of this Catholic nation, regardless of their religious affiliation (Greek Catholics*, Reformed Calvinists, Evangelical Lutherans and Jews included). When Protestants were first authorized in 1787 to keep their own registers, Hungarian imperial law required that they do so under Catholic supervision.
The 1563 Council of Trent had first required Roman Catholic churches to keep parish registers, however Turkish rule in many areas of the Austro-Hungarian Empire prevented churches there from complying. A few early Franciscan registers date back to the mid-1600s, however, although most parishes do not have entries until the 1680s or later (after the departure of the Turks). Hungarian Roman Catholic Church records are now the property of the state (through the National Archives of Hungary in Budapest: Magyar Országos Leveltár), although they are stored in various county archives.
Hungarian Roman Catholic records with genealogical interest can come in several languages and include birth and christening registers (Kereszteltek Anyakönyve), marriage registers (Házasultak Anyakönyve) and death and burial registers (Halottak Anyakönyve). In Latin, the sacramental and death records are Matricula Baptisatorum, Matricula Copulatorum, and Matricula Defunctorum, respectively.
For help with simple translations, visit John Jaso's Church Record Translations website, specifically the Hungarian and Latin terms and phrases webpages. (The website also includes help with the Slovak language.)
Hungarian Roman Catholic birth and baptismal records, particularly the more recent ones, will often include the birthdate along with the Baptism date, names of the child, parents, godparents (and sometimes grandparents), and town of residence. Marriage records will include the same basic information in addition to residence of origin for both the bride and groom, previous marital status, ages, names of parents and witnesses, and occupations. Church death records tend to have less genealogical information, although they may also include cause of death, birthdate and birthplace of the deceased, and names of survivors.
Hungarian Roman Catholic sacramental and death records have been microfilmed up to the year 1895 (some later) and are organized by church and then chronologically by date. They are usually not indexed, so without a known date the search can be time consuming.
Genealogist Felix Game has some helpful tips on reading Hungarian parish registers on his Austro-Hungarian genealogy website. Researchers unfamiliar with Hungarian names are often unaware that the family surname is listed before the given name. When the Hungarian records are in Latin, however, this order is switched and the surname is last.
If you are only beginning work on your Hungarian family tree, or you are well into the lifelong search we call genealogy, you may find the following websites and resources helpful:
- FamilySearch's wiki resource page on Hungarian genealogy
- Federation of East European Family History Societies' Hungary webpage
- Nick Gombash's Hungary Exchange (learn more details within my review of Nick's website)
- János Bogárdi's Radix Genealogy Research in Hungary (which includes a Hungarian place locator and index, a Hungarian surname index, an online forum, and a topographical postcards index)
- Hungary GenWeb Project
- Vásony Tamás' Forum and Web Archive of Hungarian Genealogy
- Felix Game's Austro-Hungarian Website
- FamilySearch's Hungary Genealogical Word List
- John Jaso's Church Record Translations website
- Sztaki Szótár English-Hungarian online dictionary
- National Archives of Hungary (see my review of the various online resources of the archives, known as Magyar Országos Leveltár in Hungarian)
- National Archives of Hungary Parish Register Search
- Hungarian Microfilmed Records List
A good printed resource that I have on my shelf is Jared Suess' Handy Guide to Hungarian Genealogical Records published in 1980 by Everton Publishers.
Subscribing to Hungarian genealogy email lists can be also be helpful to get you in contact with others researching similar areas.
In the opening words of the new Hungarian constitution: "O Lord, blessed be the Hungarian nation." And blessed be you who search diligently through records and struggle to translate foreign documents in search of your Hungarian lineage. May St. Elizabeth of Hungary, King St. Stephen, and all of those that have gone before you tracing their Hungarian genes, smile upon you and give you their blessing.
*Note: The Hungarian Greek Catholic Church comes under the category of the Byzantine or Eastern Rite Catholic Church. It originated in the 1600s after the Orthodox Ukrainian Ruthenes, Romanians and Serbs within the empire agreed to come under the jurisdiction of the Pope while being allowed to continue using the Orthodox liturgy. Most of these parishes began keeping registers in the mid-1700s.

What is a patent for Utility Model?
Patent is protecting document, certifying a priority, authorship and monopoly exclusive use of its owner to exploit of utility model, which relates to IP subject matters.
What is understood as a utility model?
Patent Law of the KR defines utility model as a device. Utility models are devices in both the production and domestic purposes. This is usually the production apparatus, parts thereof, the arrangement of products. The utility model protects the shape and location of parts of the product, if they perform technical functions.
What is the object of a utility model?
Utility models are generally are recognized as devices similar to inventions, but their technical level does not permit to recognize as such. This makes it possible to provide legal protection almost anyone, even a very simple new device, regardless of the presence or absence of its inventiveness.
The following signs characterize utility models:
- availability of structural elements;
- the link between elements;
- relative positioning of elements;
- embodiment of elements or devices in general, in particular, a geometric shape;
- embodiment of connections between the elements;
- parameters and other characteristics of the elements and their relationship;
- the material from which the elements are made and the whole device, the environment that performs the function of the element.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether immunophenotypic profiles detected by flow cytometry are useful in differentiating chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) from reactive monocytosis, and between CMML subtypes. Methods: Eight-color flow cytometry was used to immunophenotype blasts, monocytes, and granulocytes in the bone marrow of 34 patients with CMML and 12 patients with reactive monocytosis. Results: Bone marrow myeloblast, promonocyte, and monocyte counts by flow cytometry were significantly higher in the CMML group than in the reactive monocytosis group. Myeloblast aberrancies were present in all CMML patients as compared with 2 of 12 (16.7%) reactive monocytosis patients (P < 0.001). The number of blast aberrancies ranged from one to nine (median, four) in CMML patients and 94.1% of CMML cases exhibited ≥ two aberrancies. In contrast, two reactive monocytosis cases showed only one phenotypic abnormality of blasts. Monocyte and granulocyte aberrancies were present in 26 of 34 (76.5%) and in 31 of 34 (91.2%) CMML patients, respectively. Decreased side scatter (SSC) and abnormal CD11b/CD13/CD16 maturation pattern in granulocytes were more frequent in CMML than in reactive monocytosis. No significant differences in antigen expression were detected between the CMML subtypes except that altered CD45/SSC pattern on the blasts was more commonly observed in CMML-0/1 than in CMML-2. Conclusions: CMML has phenotypic aberrancies in monocytes, granulocytes, and more frequently in myeloblasts. Aberrant expression of two or more antigens in myeloblasts by flow cytometry has a high sensitivity (94.1%) and a high specificity (100%) to differentiate CMML from reactive monocytosis.

A three-letter acronym, three-letter abbreviation, or TLA is an abbreviation, specifically an acronym, alphabetism, or initialism, consisting of three letters. These are usually the initial letters of the words of the phrase abbreviated, and are written in capital letters (upper case); three-letter abbreviations such as etc. and Mrs. are not three-letter acronyms.
Most three-letter abbreviations are initialisms: all the letters are pronounced as the names of letters, as in APA // AY-pee-AY. Some are acronyms pronounced as a word; computed axial tomography, CAT, is almost always pronounced as the animal's name in "CAT scan".
- Countries: UAE and USA
- Politicians: FDR, JFK, and LBJ
- Computer phrases: CPU, DOS, RAM, ROM, and GNU, a recursive TLA that stands for "GNU's not Unix"

History and origins
The exact phrase three-letter acronym appeared in the literature in 1975. Three-letter acronyms were used as mnemonics in biological sciences, and their practical advantage was promoted by Weber in 1982. They are used in many other fields, but the term TLA is particularly associated with computing. The specific generation of three-letter acronyms in computing was mentioned in a JPL report of 1982.
In 1980, the manual for the Sinclair ZX81 home computer used and explained TLA. In 1988, in a paper titled "On the cruelty of really teaching computer science", eminent computer scientist Edsger W. Dijkstra wrote "Because no endeavour is respectable these days without a TLA..." By 1992 it was in a Microsoft handbook.
Use of "TLA" spread through both industry and academia, and it has now become a generally understood initialism.
The number of possible three-letter abbreviations using the 26 letters of the alphabet from A to Z (AAA, AAB... to ZZY, ZZZ) is 26 × 26 × 26 = 17,576. Another 26 × 26 × 10 = 6760 can be produced if the third element is allowed to be a digit 0-9, giving a total of 24,336.
In English, WWW is the longest possible TLA to pronounce, typically requiring nine syllables. Although in written English it is an abbreviation, in spoken English it ordinarily uses three times as many syllables than the words it is abbreviating, World Wide Web, which is three syllables.

There is strong evidence suggesting that movement is a valuable predictor of future health and resilience against disease. Moving well can keep you healthier and help you live longer. Here are some examples of the power of movement when it comes to predicting future health:
Gait Velocity is how fast you walk. Studies have shown that if your typical walking speed is over 1 m/s or 3.3 ft/s, you're likely able to complete typical daily activities independently. You're also less likely to be hospitalized and less likely to have adverse events like falls.
Get On and Off the Floor.
A series of studies suggest that if you can go from standing to sitting on the floor and back to standing without using your hands, you're a lot less likely to die than someone who can't. It's called the sitting-rising test. You can find the instructions and examples with a quick internet search.
Notice that both gait velocity and the sitting-rising test aren't specific to any one thing. The risk of hospitalization in the gait velocity studies was hospitalization for any reason. Death in the sitting-rising studies was death from anything. So science says that moving well is incredibly important to your overall health. It's also important for your quality of life. We think moving well is just as important as your teeth, eyes, and taxes. If you agree, get that annual PT exam scheduled!

Mayflies: Moqui minnow mayfly (Baetis moqui)
Profile prepared by Celeste Mazzacano, The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation
Baetis moqui is a small minnow mayfly endemic to Utah. This species inhabits fast-flowing rocky substrates in cold, clear, high-gradient streams. B. moqui was described as a new species from larvae collected in south-central Utah in 2004, and has been collected from North Creek and Pine Creek in Garfield County in the Escalante Canyon region. Its limited range and requirement for clear fast streams with low sediment loads may affect long-term stability of this species. Global climate change could also threaten this species' habitat in the long-term. Research should focus on understanding the biology of this species and establishing the distribution and population size.
Canada – Species at Risk Act: N/A
Canada – provincial status: N/A
USA – Endangered Species Act: N/A
USA – state status: Utah SNR Not ranked
NatureServe: G1G3 Imperiled
IUCN Red List: N/A
Baetis moqui currently receives no federal protection. The Utah Sensitive Species List does not include insects.
Baetis moqui is in the family Baetidae (small minnow mayflies). The larvae are 5.8 – 7.0 mm (0.23 –0.28 in.) in length, with three caudal filaments at the tip of the abdomen. The body is brown, with well-developed wingpads and light and dark patterning on the thorax and abdomen. The antennae are long, extending to at least the first abdominal segment, and are paler at the base and tip compared to the mid-section. B. moqui can be distinguished from other North American Baetis species based characteristics of the abdominal gills, as gill 1 is extremely reduced or lacking, and the structure of the labial palpi of the mouthparts. Adults of this species have not been described.
Baetis moqui Wiersema, Nelson and Kuehnl 2005. The taxonomic status of this species is considered valid. The species epithet is taken from an early name for the indigenous Hopi people.
This species is only known from larvae, which have been collected from cold clear streams draining high elevation (3000 m/9842 feet) peaks dominated by spring snowmelt and summer monsoon rains. Larvae can be found on leaf packs and submerged vegetation at the stream edges, but are more common on fast flowing rocky substrates with a coarse sandy matrix. Larval feeding was not observed, but members of this genus are considered to be collector-gatherers and scrapers, feeding on diatoms and organic detritus.
Larvae are known only from North Creek and Pine Creek in Garfield county, south-central Utah. Their current range is considered to encompass less than 40 square miles (100 sq. km). Larvae were collected from the type locality in North Creek above North Creek Reservoir. Additional larvae were collected from Pine Creek at the Box Death Hollow trailhead. Larvae were commonly collected from elevations of 2100 – 2500 m (6890 –8202 feet) in North and Pine Creeks, but were not found above 2500 m (8202 ft.). Additional sampling at several adjacent streams did not reveal B. moqui, and no larvae were collected at the confluence of Pine Creek or North Creek with the Escalante River.
Baetis moqui is a rare endemic species with narrow habitat requirements that is known from only two streams in south-central Utah. Due to its restricted habitat, limited populations, and unknown dispersal ability, B. moqui should be considered at risk. Baetis moqui larvae appear to have a specific requirement for cold fast flowing waters with extremely low sediment loads. North and Pine Creeks are somewhat unique in that they have lower sedimentation loads than are expected for the region; adjacent nearby streams with overall higher sedimentation loads and turbidity were not shown to support any populations of this species. Both localities are within a few miles of Escalante, which is a very small town but close to to Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, and Canyonlands National Parks, and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Heavy recreational use and road traffic in the watershed may threaten this species, particularly given its apparent intolerance for sediment and turbidity. Populations may have limited dispersal due to restricted areas of appropriate habitat, as larvae were not found in streams that were adjacent but higher in sediment load. Such small isolated populations are also vulnerable to stochastic events, and normal population fluctuations due to disease, predation, and food supply. True population sizes are unknown as this is a newly described species and needs more survey work.
Global climate change could also pose a long-term threat to B. moqui. Assessment of climate change trends in North America has already revealed changes in precipitation patterns, stream hydrology, and plant bloom time. Overall, annual mean air temperature increased in North America from _PHONE_, and total annual flow has decreased in many streams in the central Rocky Mountain region throughout the past century at an average rate of 0.2% per year (Rood et al. 2005). The effects of global climate change are projected to include warming in the western mountains, causing snowpack and ice to melt earlier in the season (Field et al. 2007). This could lead to increased flooding early in the spring and drier summer conditions, particularly in arid western areas where snowmelt sustains stream flows. Spring and summer snow cover has already been documented as decreasing in the western United States, and drought has become more frequent and intense (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2007). Floods and droughts are projected to increase in frequency and intensity; erosion is also projected to increase due to decreased soil stability from higher temperatures and reduced soil moisture, and increases in winds and high intensity storms. As a species that requires cold clear streams, the survival of B. moqui could be threatened by habitat impairment due to global warming, including increased frequency and severity of seasonal flooding and droughts, reduced snowpack to sustain stream flow, increased erosion and siltation, and increasing air and water temperatures.
Necessary actions include monitoring known populations and searching for new ones, and protecting habitat in regions where the species is known to occur.
Little is known about the biology or distribution of this species. Additional surveys should be conducted to establish the range and distribution of this species and assess its dispersal capacity. Research into life history and habitat management in the area would be valuable.

Industry—including drug, medical device and biotechnology companies—is now the leading funder of medical research, and a major sponsor of continuing medical education. Industry also funds guidelines designed to help translate medical research into practice.
In response to growing concern about conflicts of interest and threats to objectivity in medical research, education and practice stemming from industry funding, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) convened an expert committee that developed principles and recommendations on preventing conflicts of interest and produced a report that was publicly released in September 2009.
Project Director Marilyn J. Field, PhD, and staff at the IOM cited these results to RWJF:
- The IOM published Conflict of Interest in Medical Research, Education, and Practice in September 2009. The report proposed principles for assessing conflict of interest and conflict of interest policies and suggested how to identify, limit and manage conflicts of interest without undermining beneficial collaborations with industry.
- The IOM also published two briefs, one providing an overview of the report and the other focusing on conflicts of interest in research.
Conflict of Interest in Medical Research, Education, and Practice included several key findings, including:
- The central goal of conflict of interest policies in medicine is to protect the integrity of professional judgment and to preserve public trust, rather than to remediate bias and mistrust after they occur.
- The disclosure of individual and institutional financial relationships is a critical but limited first step in identifying and responding to conflicts of interest.
- Accrediting groups and public and private health insurers can promote adoption of conflict of interest policies and a culture of accountability to sustain professional norms and public confidence in medicine.
- If medical institutions do not act voluntarily to strengthen their conflict of interest policies and procedures, pressure for external regulation is likely to grow.
Conflict of Interest in Medical Research, Education, and Practice offered 16 recommendations, including:
- Medical institutions should establish conflict of interest policies that require disclosure and management of both individual and institutional financial ties to industry.
- The content, format and procedures for disclosing the financial relationships physicians and researchers have with industry should be standardized.

Well, ConTeXt has localized commands in at least English, German, and Dutch. I don't know of any similar effort for LaTeX itself, although it does have localized output via the babel package, which as well as translating the names of document components (e.g., in Spanish: "Section" -> "Sección"), also tries to honor the local typographic conventions (e.g., comma instead of decimal point) and hyphenation rules. What is more, LaTeX has good support for different input encodings, so you can easily use, for example, utf-8 to directly input text in non-Western languages (see also the Omega, Lambda, and Aleph projects). In principle, I don't see why you couldn't translate the LaTeX command names too.
The Lyx front-end also has an internationalization effort:
Your criticism would also apply to any text-oriented system: XML, HTML, any programming language you care to mention - with the possible exception of binary machine code

The question of what kind of position furniture has in home life and its impact on home life is self-evident. So why do we use solid wood laminates for furniture? As far as the current formal solid wood multi-layer board is concerned, its advantages are many:
1, more environmentally friendly, plate furniture sheet is very strict with environmental protection requirements, so choosing an environmentally friendly sheet is the biggest health guarantee for home life. At present, Baiyuan's solid wood multi-layer board can completely achieve E0 level.
2. The raw materials of the multi-layer board are made of solid wood (large-diameter wood in the trunk part). The raw materials used in various other wood-based panels, except for wood-based multi-layer boards, require logs, mostly from harvesting and processing residues, and small-diameter materials (less than 8 cm in diameter).
3. The size is more stable. The production process of the solid wood multi-layer board is made by pressing a layer of veneer vertically and vertically, and the adjacent fiber directions of the adjacent layers are arranged perpendicularly to each other, thereby improving the anisotropy of the wood under natural growth conditions and improving the anisotropy. Dimensional stability. For finished furniture, the service life is longer.
4. Strong strength and good flatness. The unique production process and raw material selection of the solid wood multi-layer board determine its unique quality. The solid wood multi-layer board is composed of multi-layer veneers arranged in a crisscross pattern. In the current production process, between the veneer and the veneer The oblique grinding lap process (starting splicing, subsequent seaming, to the current oblique lap lap, the process is progressing continuously), and then being produced by several processes such as cold pressing, hot pressing, sanding, etc. High strength, good grip strength and high flatness.
5, not easy to deform, no cracking. Baiyuan solid wood multi-layer board is made up of multi-layer veneers arranged in a crisscross pattern, and the beech is selected as the panel. After being glued, it is made by high temperature and high pressure in a hot press. The deformation and cracking of the sheet is mainly composed of water content and other factors. The solid wood multi-layer board can strictly control the moisture content of each veneer in the production process, so the quality of the finished board is more guaranteed. It is not easy to be deformed and cracked, and the dry shrinkage expansion system is extremely small. It solves the two major defects of deformation and cracking of solid wood panels from the aspect of internal stress.
6, the sheet is large. Multi-layer solid wood boards are cut from logs into single boards and then arranged in a staggered manner. In theory, the width of solid wood multi-layer boards can be infinite, but it is actually produced according to the national standard size. This is very different from other plates, such as other particle board and MDF, completely using waste scraps, even if the adhesive combination is again, there is no original wood such as solid wood laminate. This also solves the shortcomings of insufficient solidity of the solid wood board due to the influence of the material age and growth rate.
7, good quality, high price ratio. The multi-layer solid wood board is the artificial board closest to solid wood. But it is better than solid wood, good toughness, large area, not easy to deform and crack, the quality is better, but the actual price is lower than the solid wood, the effect is close to solid wood, cost-effective.
8, easy to process, easy to produce. The solid wood multi-layer board has precise thickness, long and wide width, and is suitable for most furniture. It is close to solid wood, has no special requirements for processing machinery, processing saw blade, processing technology, etc. It is easy to process and easy to form. An ordinary woodworker can also use the solid wood multi-layer board to make beautiful and practical furniture.
9. In line with the current consumption trend, in the market dominated by the current custom furniture, solid wood multi-layer boards are generally used for custom furniture, so that the various finished furniture products are well received by customers.
10, color matching is more convenient. We all know that the current plate furniture is made by using the color of the plate itself. Once the plate does not meet the color of the home decoration friend, you need to paint yourself or buy other products. However, the solid wood multi-layer board has good flatness and can be directly used for veneering. Consumers have other favored colors that can be directly used for veneer production, which perfectly meets consumers' customized services for various colors.
10 reasons fully prove why it is necessary to use solid wood multi-layer boards for making panel furniture, which is an inevitable trend of market development. Of course, for many friends who are using and about to use multi-layer boards, there are more reasons to explore. Do not choose the most expensive, only choose the right one, choose solid wood multi-layer board to create furniture, family life is more comfortable.

Without a doubt, compliance spending has become a significant portion of the IT budget and, according to AMR Research,...
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
IT compliance budgets are expected to rise 10% in 2005. As a result, CIOs need to include more time, resources and budget dollars in their planning process. But how much is enough? How do you forecast how much you will spend on compliance next year or even five years from now? What are the software packages and services available to help companies meet compliance needs? The issue of compliance is not going away and CIOs need to do their best to prepare to meet these requirements. The SearchCIO budgeting for compliance Executive Guide includes valuable resources and practical information and advice to help CIOs with planning and budgeting for compliance.
This Executive Guide is part of the SearchCIO Executive Guide series which is designed to give IT leaders strategic guidance and advice that addresses the management and decision-making aspects of timely topics. For a complete list of topics covered to date visit the Executive Guide section.

IT compliance costs continue to rise as firms everywhere struggle with governance, privacy, security and environmental regulations. These rules are typically designed to shape corporate behavior and improve investor confidence, protect individual rights, and thwart terrorists. In the long run, compliance intentions are good, however they also distract CIOs from their core business intentions.
We all know compliance regulations are here to stay, and CIOs are addressing them in two extreme ways. Some are dropping everything to ensure compliance, while other IT executives are simply crossing their fingers and hoping not to get caught. For most firms, however, there should be a balance between these extremes that shows up first in the planning and budgeting processes.
The typical IT budgeting exercise is all about defining priorities. The goals of the process are to create customer value, control costs and grow the business.
But the problem with budgeting comes in identifying the optimal portfolio of IT expenditures, where optimal means keeping management out of jail; increasing customer spending; and decreasing business spending. To achieve these goals in a world where thousands of regulations are passed annually and IT spending faces increased scrutiny, I offer the following rules for budgeting for compliance:
- Adopt a portfolio management approach to IT budgeting, in which each request (including regulations) must be justified.
- Build the business case for all projects, including compliance efforts, using traditional economic measures like ROI, NPV and others. Make sure to add a flexibility component in the form of a real options measure.
- Make the link between compliance and risk management explicit – both require cross functional teams with varied expertise. So combining these efforts can have a big payoff.
- Identify compliance patterns – look for overlapping compliance elements among similar regulations, such as the class of compliance elements found among the privacy laws in different jurisdictions. By factoring these elements, a firm can eliminate redundant efforts and improve quality while mitigating costs and risks.
- Look at comparablesspend within the range of your peers on commodities like security and governance. Under spending is as dangerous as overspending, because it demonstrates a lack of awareness that raises questions under the harsh light of an enforcement action. Firms like IT-Centrix track budget trends, and can provide insights into appropriate spending levels.
- Focus on standards – there is often a temptation to build a seemingly inexpensive "quick-fix" for an emerging regulation, but the long term cost is almost always higher than an off-the-shelf solution based on open standards.
- Go for coarse-grained solutions wherever feasible – integrated hardware/software solutions for records retention, for example, are available from leading vendors like IBM and EMC. This approach simplifies portfolio management by reducing complexity.
- A missing link for most IT organizations is feedback. Once an application – including a compliance component - is approved, especially with a real options approach, it is critical to provide ongoing feedback on the justification assumptions. These progress reports will be used to make funding decisions for ongoing development or termination. They should also be used to improve the next budget and prioritization cycle.
Budgeting for IT in general and compliance projects in particular will likely continue to be as much an art as a science for the foreseeable future. One thing is certain, though: overall IT budgets are not likely to rise with new demands for compliance requirements, so firms must become more creative to keep up. Factoring in requirements to identify and leverage common compliance patterns will now become a critical process that should precede most budget discussions.

The machine is used for seed corns grading as a part of a cleaning line or as a sole machine.
The cleaning unit is formed by twin cylinders covered with velvet.
The "roll mill", "Velvet roll mill", or "velvet roll separator, is widely used in seed processing. It is most commonly called the "dodder mill" because it was originally designed to remove dodder from clover and alfalfa. Roll mills are finishing machines and should only be used on seed that have already been processed on an air-screen cleaner and/or other machines. They are used to clean smooth seed such as clovers alfalfa and bean that are contaminated with: (1) seeds that have a rough seed coat such as dodder; (2) seeds that are irregular in shape or have sharp angles such as dock; (3) immature seeds that are wrinkled or shriveled; (4) broken, chipped or damaged seed that have irregular surfaces; and (5) rough arid irregularly shaped inert material. Examples of some separations made on the roll mill are:
Crop Seed Contaminant Removed by Roll Mill

Product Description: The Russo-Japanese War and the peace conference that followed it at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, marked a turning point affecting not only the history of participants but the future of East Asia and the world.The 1905 Portsmouth Conference, mediated by President Theodore Roosevelt, for which he received the Nobel Peace Prize, brought to an end a war in which Japan won spectacular victories on land and sea. Although the peace settlement fell far short of public expectations in Japan, she gained supremacy in Korea and a sphere of influence in South Manchuria as a consequence of the treaty. Nevertheless, the treaty reflected the military stalemate in Manchuria. Roosevelt wanted a balance of power to emerge from the war, and his hope was realized in the peace process.Raymond Esthus, drawing on the records of six nations, provides a detailed and panoramic account of the 1905 conference from the perspectives of both the Russians and the Japanese participants, depicting the powerful personalities of Roosevelt and the Russian Sergei Witte, as well as Tsar Nicholas II and the Foreign Minister Komura Jutaro. It is a story of verbal duels, tests of will, and moments of high personal courage. If there was no clear-cut victor at the conference, Roosevelt emerged as a worldwide hero of the cause of peace.

Prof. Santos acts as Opponent of the thesis 'Silver nanoparticles for cancer research'
Prof. Santos acted as the opponent of the doctoral dissertation of Anne-Mari Willmore at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Tartu, Estonia
The thesis show how silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) can enhance conjugated dyes and effectively scatter light for optical detection, and enable simple peptide conjugation. The AgNPs were developed further to evaluate accessible target molecules on the surface of cancer cells. This would facilitate classifying different cancers to guide the selection of an appropriate treatment. Additionally, the particle composition was altered so as to enable detection and quantification of AgNPs from cells or tissues by mass spectrometry.

Ductile iron pipe (DIP) was introduced about 50 years ago as a more economical and better-performing product for water transmission and distribution. As with iron or steel pipes, DIP is subject to corrosion, the rate of which depends on the environment in which the pipe is placed. Corrosion mitigation protocols are employed to slow the corrosion process to an acceptable rate for the application. When to use corrosion mitigation systems, and which system, depends on the corrosivity of the soils in which the pipeline is buried.
The Bureau of Reclamation's specification for DIP in highly corrosive soil has been contested by some as an overly stringent requirement, necessitating the pipe to be modified from its as-manufactured state and thereby adding unnecessary cost to a pipeline system.
This book evaluates the specifications in question and presents findings and recommendations. Specifically, the authoring committee answers the following questions:
- Does polyethylene encasement with cathodic protection work on ductile iron pipe installed in highly corrosive soils?
- Will polyethylene encasement and cathodic protection reliably provide a minimum service life of 50 years?
- What possible alternative corrosion mitigation methods for DIP would provide a service life of 50 years?

What Is an Orbital Jigsaw?
Spread the love
What is an orbital jigsaw, and what makes it different from a regular jigsaw?
Also known as an orbital saber saw, this power tool boasts a unique cutting action.
In this guide, we'll explore what it is, how you can use it, and why it's such a popular choice among DIYers and experts alike.
What Is an Orbital Jigsaw?
As mentioned, an orbital jigsaw has a particular cutting action that might also be referred to as a pendulum cutting action.
The blade has a swaying movement that allows the user to saw in a straight line much faster than its counterparts.
Then again, while you'll have more aggressive cutting power in your hands, it can also compromise accuracy.
Often, users find the less orbital action they use, the more precise their cuts are.
Still, there are certain circumstances where cutting speed far outweighs the pristine finish of a material.
The simplest way to understand orbital action is to imagine how a jigsaw blade works.
When cutting, a jigsaw blade traditionally goes up and down to penetrate a surface. With orbital action, the blade also moves back and forth, similar to a traditional saw.
Instead of a standard reciprocating saw, jigsaws allow you to make curved edges, much like scroll saws.
What Is the Difference Between an Orbital Jigsaw and a Regular Jigsaw?
There aren't many significant differences between these two, as you will likely find most jigsaws have orbital action.
Where they differ the most is in how they make their cuts.
Cutting Power
When cutting, jigsaws lift and lower their blade at incredible speeds at a backward angle. Alternatively, orbital jigsaws follow an elliptical path.
What makes them convenient is this cutting action boasts an impossible level of power.
Fortunately, you likely have the choice between standard and elliptical cutting with the flip of a switch.
Motor Power
As orbital jigsaws are more aggressive, they will also require more power from the motor.
This is why most of these tools are corded, as a battery could run out too quickly under such demand.
However, if you'll only be making a few short cuts, cordless or battery-powered models can be beneficial.
Is an Orbital Jigsaw Better?
The power behind an orbital jigsaw is what sets it apart from the competition.
It is highly versatile for working through an assortment of materials, including countertop laminate and thick wood.
With its efficiency, you will need to know how to wield the tool properly to avoid as much vibration as possible.
The cutting action can lead to significant imperfections along with the cut, especially at the edges.
Often, you'll have to use a manual or electric sander to get the perfect finish.

What Do You Use a Jigsaw For?
So, what do you use a jigsaw for?
The answer is the same as the tasks you would use an orbital jigsaw for.
As long as you're interested in cutting through materials faster, it's a great tool to have available.
Many of the more aggressive settings are recommended for wood and thick slabs.
Cutting Wood
Orbital jigsaws indeed offer their power when working with softwood.
The blade's edge will slice through different wood types like butter, allowing more efficient cuts.
If you were using a standard jigsaw, you might worry about blades getting stuck and overheating.
Another massive advantage of using this tool with wood is that it helps to clear chips faster than other tools.
This means you will have less stoppage while cutting and will be able to follow your marked guides easily.
Often, wood will have one of the best finishes out of other materials you can cut with this tool.
Cutting Laminate and Plastic
Orbital jigsaws can also be preferred for working with hardened materials, such as plastic and laminate.
They are also popular among contractors who frequently install drywall.
The most important thing to remember when working with plastic is its likelihood of cracking.
It would help if you always opted for lower cutting settings to make sure you avoid splintering.
Overall, orbital jigsaws are beneficial for making straight, curved, or scroll cuts at lower speeds.
Cutting Metal
Apart from wood, cutting metal with an orbital jigsaw is very simple.
Again, you'll want to pay close attention to your speed, as lower speed settings can cut faster.
It's a good idea to practice using your tool on scrap metal, especially materials like aluminum.
This will give you a good idea of the speed you should aim for with thicker metals.
What Does Orbital Action Mean?
When shopping for a jigsaw, you'll find that some come with an orbital setting.
This means you can either use the standard or elliptical cutting pattern of the jigsaw.
Depending on preference and experience, some settings can be chosen for specific materials.
Boosting Versatility
In addition to variable speed control, you'll find that orbital settings boost the versatility of your tool.
You can make precise straight up-and-down cuts or faster rough-cutting for practical applications.
It should be easy to find the orbital setting on your device, as it's either a switch, lever, or dial.
Adjustable Cutting Action
Using the dial, you can adjust the amount of orbital action you want to use depending on the material.
Most of these tools will have up to four levels—four being the most powerful, and zero meaning no orbital action.
The higher the orbital action, the more aggressive the tool will be, which means you'll have a rougher cut.
Challenges With Control
Beginners might also find that too much orbital action can be challenging to control and thus dangerous.
Lower settings can be used, as it will still be faster than traditional cutting but with fewer mishaps.
Straight cuts will benefit the most from orbital settings, as they don't have to be accurate.
Where this cutting action becomes most challenging is if you want to begin making plunge cuts.
Plunge cuts require you to slowly start the jigsaw, which is nearly impossible with orbital action engaged.
Curved cuts are also more challenging with this setting, as it makes the tool harder to control.
Less Precise Finishes
Cutting can be faster with this feature, but your overall project might take longer than expected.
There's no doubt that orbital action jigsaws leave a rough edge that will require many finishing touches.
You'll need to sand away any imperfections and ensure the edges are cleaned for more aesthetic projects.
Depending on the finishing you need, it could take longer than using other tools, like hybrid table saws.
Final Thoughts
So, now that you know what is an orbital jigsaw and what it's used for, have you decided on getting one yet?
It's ideal for practical projects where perfection isn't essential. You can also use it as a standalone device for aggressive rips through materials.
If you have a midto high-tier jigsaw, it's a good idea to test out the orbital cutting feature to see if it's useful for you.

Drawing shapes on an image
Imagine also provides a fully-featured drawing API, inspired by Python's PIL. To use the api, you need to get a drawer instance from you current image instance, using ImageInterface::draw() method.
$palette = new Imagine\Image\Palette\RGB();
$image = $imagine->create(new Box(400, 300), $palette->color('#000'));
 ->ellipse(new Point(200, 150), new Box(300, 225), $image->palette()->color('fff'));
The above example would draw an ellipse on a black 400x300px image, of white color. It would place the ellipse in the center of the image, and set its larger radius to 300px, with a smaller radius of 225px. You could also make the ellipse filled, by passing true as the last parameter
As you've noticed from DrawerInterface::text(), there is also Font class. This class is a simple value object, representing the font. To construct a font, you have to pass the $file string (path to font file), $size value (integer value, representing size points) and $color (Imagine\Image\Palette\Color\ColorInterface instance). After you have a font instance, you can use one of its three methods to inspect any of the values it's been constructed with:
 - ->getFile() - returns font file path
 - ->getSize() - returns integer size in points (e.g. 10pt = 10)
 - ->getColor() - returns Imagine\Image\Palette\Color\ColorInterface instance, representing current font color
 - ->box($string, $angle = 0) - returns Imagine\Image\BoxInterface instance, representing the estimated size of the $string at the given $angle on the image

A selected history of sustainability in Maine.
- By: Joshua F. Moore
Mainers were living sustainable lives long before pioneering homesteaders Scott and Helen Nearing moved here in the fifties and prompted waves of young people to drop out and move "back to the land." Over the past six decades, Maine has experienced suburbanization and sprawl, but the Pine Tree State remains one of those increasingly rare places where people still live close to nature and sustainability seems less a consumer trend than a part of the Down East heritage. Here are some local milestones in green living.
Scott and Helen Nearing, authors of Living the Good Life: How to Live Sanely and Simply in a Troubled World, settle in Harborside, on Cape Rosier. Over the next half century, more than a million people follow their example of simple living in Maine and elsewhere.
Rachel Carson, who would write Silent Spring, joins a handful of Mainers concerned about unchecked development to form a branch of the Nature Conservancy — the fourth such chapter in the country— to seek a balance between habitat protection and economic prosperity.
The Natural Resources Council of Maine (NRCM) is founded. In time, NRCM takes a leading role in the establishment of the Land Use Regulation Commission, the passing of the Growth Management Law, the campaign for Maine's solid waste and recycling law, and more.
After more than a century of operations, passenger trains stop servicing the Boston-to-Portland run, as more Americans turn to automobiles to access the Pine Tree State.
Peter Cox and John N. Cole create Maine Times, an alternative newspaper focused on environmental journalism, progressive politics, and simple living.
Peggy Rockefeller and Tom Cabot form the Maine Coast Heritage Trust, pioneering the use of conservation easements as a way to protect land. Since its founding, the trust has protected more than 125,000 acres in Maine, including more than 250 entire coastal islands.
Tom and Kate Chappell discover that natural toothpaste can be a big business in Kennebunk. Their Tom's of Maine brand becomes a pioneer in the fledgling natural-care industry. In 2006, the Chappells sell 84 percent of their company to Colgate-Palmolive but retain enough of a controlling interest to ensure that the company's environmentally sensitive policies remain in place.
Charlie Gould, a cooperative extension agent in Lewiston, fields so many questions about organic farming that he gathers farmers for a meeting. That group becomes the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA), a forceful advocate for growing food without chemical fertilizers or pesticides and sponsor of the Common Ground Country Fair.
Twenty-three-year-old Rob Johnston, Jr. moves his fledgling mail-order seed company from his family home in Massachusetts to Maine, quickly establishing Johnny's Selected Seeds as the go-to source for vegetable, flower, medicinal, and culinary herb seeds. Johnston's five-hundred-dollar startup would grow to an enterprise with two Maine locations, eighty full-time employees, and a distribution center that ships Maine seeds to more than fifty countries.
Pat and Patsy Hennin start the Shelter Institute in Bath, eventually moving operations to a sixty-eight-acre campus in Woolwich, and instruct thousands of students in the finer points of timber-frame construction.
Maine Audubon opens its Energy Education Center, designed by architect Richard Renner [page 44], at Gilsland Farm in Falmouth, to inspire Mainers to incorporate energy-saving devices — like the center's solar panels, wood-fired furnace, and wind turbines — into their own homes.
Maine's first food co-op opens in Belfast, working out of an eight-hundred-square-foot storefront. The co-op's unique labor system, with discounts offered for volunteers, proves a success as the shop expands twice in less than two decades, to a six-thousand-square-foot facility. Gross sales stand at more than three million dollars annually.
Marion Fuller Brown, a legislator and champion of Maine's scenic beauty, succeeds in passing a law banning billboards from Maine highways.
Maine's "bottle bill," the second such law in New England to require a refundable deposit on all soda, beer, and liquor bottles, takes effect. Litter begins disappearing from the state's roadsides almost overnight.
The Woodex plant in Lincoln begins producing three hundred tons of wood pellets a day from compressed sawdust, bark, and chips. Maine becomes the first state in the country to have an established retail-distribution network for such pellets, which sell for $125 a ton (most homes require between six and eight tons of pellets during a heating season).
Roxanne Quimby and Burt Shavitz, of Dexter, start selling candles made from beeswax, a byproduct of Shavitz's honey business. Quimby goes on to create a line of natural skin-care products, eventually moving her company to North Carolina in 1993 before finally selling it in 2007 for just under a billion dollars.

The Maine Green Independent Party is formed, the first such party in the United States [see page 19].
The Portland Fish Exchange opens, handling thirty million pounds of groundfish annually. Twenty-three years later, following the collapse of marine species in the Gulf of Maine, the exchange processes less than eight million pounds a year, requiring a city subsidy to stay afloat.
Maine's revised Sand Dune Law takes effect, restricting the use of seawalls, jetties, and breakwaters and requiring that certain coastal structures more than half-destroyed during a storm be torn down or moved. Maine's shoreland-zoning law becomes an examplar for states on both coasts.
Willow Pond Farm in Sabattus opens as the state's first community-supported agriculture (CSA) farm, offering members a share of the harvest in exchange for a flat fee. Today there are more than a hundred CSAs operating in Maine.
At a stretch break during a Portland City Council workshop, Tom Jewell, Nathan Smith, Dick Spencer, and Cathy Stivers create the Portland Shoreway Access Coalition, which evolves into the nonprofit Portland Trails. To date the group has created more than thirty miles of biking and walking trails in Greater Portland.
The Bicycle Coalition of Maine, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making the state more biker friendly, is founded.
From their farm in Harborside, Eliot Coleman and Barbara Damrosch serve as co-hosts of Gardening Naturally, a TV program on the Learning Channel viewed by millions. Coleman's The New Organic Grower becomes the bible on the subject.
Ellie Daniels and three friends open the Green Store in Belfast, aiming to "promote personal and planetary well-being" by offering environmentally friendly products and information.
The Colony Hotel in Kennebunkport joins the "Green" Hotels Association as a charter member, leading the push to encourage hotel guests to reuse towels and conserve water.
Edwards Dam in Augusta becomes the first dam in the nation to be denied its license renewal under a federal law that requires a review of the environmental impact of a dam compared with the value of the electricity it produces. Two years later the dam is breached, depriving the state of 3.5 megawatts of power — but restoring native sea-run fish to the Kennebec River.
Hoping to build on the success of the longest-running farmer's market in the country, the Libra Foundation opens the Portland Public Market. The Preble Street bazaar fails to attract enough shoppers, however, and the market closes its doors in 2006. The farmer's market survives, returning to Monument Square, one of its earliest locations.
A fleet of free, propane-powered buses is launched at Acadia National Park to reduce gridlock. To date the buses have prevented more than twenty-five tons of harmful chemicals from entering the air and effectively removed more than nine hundred passenger cars from the park roads every summer day.
Martin Grohman forms Correct Building Products, which manufactures decking materials out of 60 percent recycled hardwood sawdust and 40 percent polypropylene, proving that construction materials made from recycled materials can be as durable as old-growth lumber.
The Maine Farmland Trust is formed in Bucksport to preserve working farmland through easements. Two years later the organization creates FarmLink, which connects would-be farmers with people looking to retire and sell their farms. To date the organization has made thirty-seven matches, keeping 3,105 acres of Maine farmland in active production.
Amtrak launches the Downeaster between Boston and Portland, reestablishing passenger rail service to reach Maine. The Downeaster carries 1.4 million passengers in its first five years.
Farm Fresh Connection is established to provide college dining halls with local food. Bowdoin is promptly named by the Princeton Review as having the best food in the country, an accolade it maintains for three of the next four years.
Oakhurst Dairy, based in Portland, is sued by the agribusiness giant Monsanto, which alleges that Oakhurst's "farmers' pledge" of not using artificial growth hormones implies that milk from hormone-treated cows is harmful. Oakhurst agrees to add a disclaimer saying that the FDA has found no significant difference between the two types of milk, but five years later Monsanto divests itself of its hormone-treatment business.
Scarborough voters defeat a "Great American Neighborhood" concept that would have controlled sprawl by creating a compact village and protected hundreds of acres of land, alas.
Backyard Beauties, a twenty-four-acre greenhouse where tomatoes are grown year-round, is founded in Madison, becoming New England's largest indoor-growing facility.
Maine's e-waste law goes into effect, requiring the recycling of computer monitors. The state also passes a law requiring that appliance manufacturers pay a
