text: How we develop our serious games concept for effectiveness and fun Last update: october 2019 Developing a serious game concept (or the gamification of problem solving) requires some extra steps compared to traditional game development, so we summarized our internal approach as a piece of game development advice. Introducing research early and making it an integral part of game development reduces the risk of spending all the budget on a serious game that will prove to be ineffective in the end. We are trying to get the best of both worlds – using the power of research and the expertise of a game development company to make a fun and effective serious game. The goal of research is to ensure that the core mechanics are effective in terms of both entertainment and education. These insights may be interesting for serious game companies, researchers, or clients who are interested in making a serious game. During the production phase, research aims to gather feedback about the usability, engagement, and learning of the game in order to continually make improvements. Finally, during the post-production phase, the final game is tested for its efficacy and effectiveness in terms of the learning goal. Based on these different types of research needed for each production phase, we propose the following five steps: Concept phase: making sure that we have a solid, evidence-based game concept ("How can the game make a measurable impact?") Pre-production phase: testing the core mechanics using prototypes ("Does the core mechanics work for the entertainment and education goals?") Production phase: testing the usability, engagement, and learning iteratively ("Is the game easy to understand, fun, and effective?") Post-production phase 1: doing efficacy and effectiveness research of the final game ("Is the game efficacious and effective in reaching the learning goal?") Post-production phase 2: tracking metrics after game is released ("Is the game effective in real life?") This article will focus on the first part – the concept phase. I will outline the steps that we take to develop the game concept in the next section. What are the steps in the concept phase of creating a serious game? The steps we take to develop our serious game concept: Define the goal of the game Extract requirements for the game from a problem analysis Create concepts filtered by the requirements Participate in the game testing with the target audience together with the clients/domain experts 1. Define the goal of the game How do we define the goal of a game? Defining the goal of the game is the most important step before creating a game concept. Ideally, we want a goal that is specific, time-bound, measurable, feasible, and relevant. To make sure that we have a scientific list of requirements for the game, we do a literature research together with the clients/domain experts, which results in a document called "Problem Analyses". We define the problems that the game tries to solve. The solutions becomes the goal of the game for the players and the theoretical background it is based upon. 2. Extract requirements for the game from a problem analysis How do we define the requirements for a game? From the "Problem Analyses", we extract requirements for the game concept. The requirements are dictated by the results from the literature research, as in, what does the literature offer as the solution for a given problem. These requirements are added to any requirements a client might have beforehand. 3. Create concepts filtered by the requirements How do we use the requirements to create a concept? When we finish the list of requirements for a game concept, we sent it to the clients/domain experts and ask them to rate the priority of each requirement. Based on their ratings we have a brainstorming session and come up with several game concepts. We start from the requirement that we think is the most important and jot down whatever concepts that come to mind. After we have an initial list, we run the concepts through the requirements that we derived from the previous step and select the game concept that meet the most requirements. 4. Participate in the game testing with the target audience together with the clients/domain experts How does participating in testing help our game concept? We do many tests with the clients and their target players to evaluate the effectiveness and fun of the game. We also look to see if players are clear on the goals the game communicates. From those tests, we narrow down elements that worked the best. Its best to have people from the game development team also participate in the testing, so that we can also observe what worked the best in terms of gameplay. To read more on game testing read this comprehensive wikipedia article: Game Testing. At the end of these steps, we might go through these steps again if there are indications that we need to refine our concept. If you're interested in how we apply the steps above to our own products, have a look at our method page as well. Do you want to learn more about serious games and their impact?

Additional Advice Elicit feedback from within the company as soon as we have a draft of the game concept Sometimes. the first time someone within the company, who was not on this project saw the game concept,was when we had the complete first game concept. They provide very insightful feedback, but we did not incorporate that because we did not have enough time. In the future, we should show the draft of the game concept as soon as we have a rough draft to make use of the team's intuitions and expertise in making fun games. Add a step to filter the clients/domain experts' feedback before revising the game concept We added a step to filter domain experts' feedback. In this step, we separate the functional requirements from the creative suggestions. In other words, we follow the clients/domain experts' requirements about the goals of the game but are more cautious when they suggest how the game should look, how the gameplay should be, or how the educational elements should be incorporated into the gameplay. When we are in doubt, we can get the opinions of other domain experts and the other members of the company or test the ideas with the target audience. If the clients/domain experts do not like the game concept, but it is effective and liked by the target audience, we stand our ground. Expect a communication curve and communicate more frequently with the clients/domain experts From the initial ideas that the client came to us with to the current game concept, there can be multiple iterations. During every iteration, we can discover discrepancies between what we thought the clients/domain experts wanted and what they actually wanted. It feels like the discrepancy is getting smaller and smaller when we talk with each other more and more. Eventually we will reach the Bull's eye – a game concept that we are both happy with. Some parts of the communication curve are avoidable. For example, if we can get the requirements from the clients/domain experts and clarify them earlier, and if we could involve the clients more while making the first game concept, we can make a game concept that is more on-point the first time. Other parts of the curve are inevitable because the clients/domain experts may not be able to tell us what exactly they want until they see the concrete game concept. It indicates that when we plan for the development of a serious game, we should take the communication time into account, and communicate with the clients/domain experts earlier and more frequently. Conclusion We took some time to address this workflow and are now benefiting from it in our new projects. One of these projects is Reducept, a virtual reality game that helps reduce chronic pain. Its game concept was developed in line with the workflow we described above, and is receiving many favorable reactions. Hopefully you can use our advice to improve (parts of) your game concepts.

18 May 2021 - Aerodynamic Behaviour and Structural Safety of Tower Cranes
Aerodynamic Behaviour and Structural Safety of Tower Cranes
Online Event 18th May, 4pm
The Lothar and Martin winter storms of 1999 were a wake-up call for the French construction industry : two particularly violent winter storms swept the country in the space of several days causing multiple tower cranes to collapse.
This led to a long-term research project at the CSTB and a new methodology for the study of dynamic stability of tower cranes including desk study and wind tunnel analysis methods to identify and mitigate the risk of crane autorotation due to surrounding buildings and to quantify dynamic loads on the crane and its foundations. This method is underpinned by the national site-safety certification and insurance system.
This talk will cover the main technical considerations, the different techniques used as well as the legal framework in which it operates.
Graham Knapp
Graham Knapp is a senior wind engineer at the CSTB in France with two decades of experience of studies into structural loading and dynamics for tall buildings, bridges and other major structures around the world. He is based in the climatology, aerodynamics, pollution and purification team at the CSTB Nantes and works in the atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnels and Jules Verne climatic wind tunnels.
He is a chartered member of the Institution of Civil Engineers and formerly worked at Buro Happold in the UK.


plastic bag on scale
I weighed this plastic, storage bag while it was empty. Then I opened it to fill it with air. Sealing the bag again, I put it back on the scale. Was its weight the same, more, or less? Why?
After adding the air, the scale still showed the same weight. I like this one because it is one of the times when mass and weight are different at the surface of the Earth. The bag contains air, which has mass, so the combination of bag and air has more mass than just the bag by itself. Adding the air also causes the bag to take up more space, displacing some of the air around it.
Now, think about picking up something underwater. It weighs less, right? It weighs less because the water it displaces is pushing up on it with a force equal to the weight of that displaced water. The same happens with the bag of air. The displaced air us pushing up on the bag, reducing its weight by the weight of the displaced air. The same volume of air is inside the bag, adding its weight to the weight of the bag. The two balance each other, so the bag of air registers the same on the scale as the bad did when it was empty.

Hello to all, my new article on SBI Bank PO Exams 2018 has been posted you can read all details at SBI PO Exams 2018: All you Need to know to get a clear idea on what is SBI Bank PO all about. Today I'm going to tell you a very interesting topic that is Time and Distance. Time and Distance is very important topic in Aptitude so learn all the concepts well and try to solve the questions that I will give you at the end of this article. So let us start with Time and Distance.
(i) Speed = Distance/Time, Time = Distance/speed, Distance = Speed * Time
(ii) x km/hr = (x * 5/18) m/sec
(iii) x m/sec = (x * 18/5) km/hr
(iv) If the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a:b then the ratio of the time taken by them to cover the same distance is 1/a : 1/b or b:a
(v) Suppose a man covers a certain distance at x km/hr and an equal distance at y km/hr. Then the average speed during the whole journey is (2xy/x+y) km/hr
1. A train travels 82.6 km/hr. How many metres will it travel in 15 minutes?
Solution: Distance travelled in 1 min. = (82.6/60) km
So the Distance travelled in 15 min. = (82.6/60 * 15) km = 20.65 km = 20.65 km = (20.65 * 1000) m
= 20650 m.
2. How many minutes does Aditya take to cover a distance of 400 m, if he runs at a speed of 20 km/hr?
Solution: Aditya's speed = 20 km/hr = (20 * 5/18) m/sec = 50/9 m/sec.
Therefore Time taken to cover 400 m = (400 * 9/50) sec = 72 sec
3. A cyclist covers a distance of 750 m in 2 min 30 sec. What is the speed in km/hr of the cyclist?
Solution: Speed = (750/150) m/sec = 5 m/sec = (5 * 18/5) km/hr = 18 km/hr.
1. A speed of 30.6 km/hr is same as (R.R.B, 2008)
a. 5.1 m/sec b. 8.5 m/sec c. 110.16 m/sec d. none of these
2. A man riding his bicycle covers 150 metres in 25 seconds. What is the speed in km/hr? (S.S.C, 2005)
a.20 b.21.6 c.23 d.25
3. A bus covers a distance of 2924 km in 43 hours. What is the speed of the bus? (Bank Recruitment, 2008)
a. 60 km/hr b. 68 km/hr c. 72 km/hr d. Cannot be determined e. none of these
I hope you would have liked this article on time and distance. The next article will be on mock test. So prepare well and come. Thank you. All the Best.

Will they Buy or just Browse? Predicting Purchase Intentions of Online Shoppers with Python
Many online shops welcome countless visitors each day. However, only a fraction of these visitors will actually make a purchase. The rest just browses through the websites and does not make a transaction. This blog post is dedicated to the use of machine learning to predict whether or not visitors of an online shop will actually make a purchase. Predicting purchase intentions is a relevant use case in the area of online marketing and sales. Knowing which of the many customers who visit a shop actually buy something is very relevant for online shops. This is because the differences and similarities between groups can reveal patterns in customer buying behavior and thus contribute to a better understanding of the buying decision. Online shops can use this knowledge to optimize marketing activities and the customer experience in order to achieve higher conversion rates.
Predicting Purchase Intentions
A classification mode that predicts the buying intention of online shoppers
Predicting purchase intentions
This blog post guides you through the process of building a classification model using Python and Scikit-Learn that can predict the purchase intentions of online shoppers. We will assume a two-class prediction problem where the point is to predict the labels "buys" and "does not buy" for a group of visitors. Such two-class problems can be approached with different machine learning algorithms. In this blog post, we will use Logistic Regression. Because it is a best practice, the categories "buys" and "does not buy" will be converted into boolean values. Consequently, each customer is labelled with either True or False in the training data.
The example covers the following steps:
 - 1) Download the data
 - 2) Load the data into Python
 - 3) Explore the data
 - 4) Train a logistic regression model that classifies online shoppers buying intentions
 - 5) Evaluating model performance
Python Environment
This tutorial assumes that you have setup your python environment. I recommend using the Anaconda environment. If you have not yet set the environment up, you can follow this tutorial.
It is also assumed that you have the following packages installed: keras (2.0 or higher) with Tensorflow backend, numpy, pandas, matplot, sklearn. The packages can be installed using the console command:
pip install
1) Download the data
The first step is to download the data. In this tutorial we will work with a public dataset from kaggle. You can download the data via the link below:
Copy the csv file into the following path, starting from the folder with your python notebook: data/classification-online-shopping/
2) Load the data into Python
The dataset consists of feature vectors belonging to 12333 sessions from a public online shop. Each session of the dataset belongs to a different user in a 1-year period. In this way, it is ensured that there is no tendency in the data, for example to a specific period, user or day to avoid. The dataset consists of 10 numerical and 8 categorical attributes. The 'Revenue' attribute will be used as the class label, also called "prediction label".
In addition, the dataset contains the following features (information taken from the dataset site on kaggle.com):
 - "Administrative", "Administrative Duration", "Informational", "Informational Duration", "Product Related" and "Product Related Duration" represent the number of different types of pages visited by the visitor in that session and total time spent in each of these page categories.
 - The "Bounce Rate", "Exit Rate" and "Page Value" features represent the metrics measured by "Google Analytics" for each page in the e-commerce site.
 - The "Special Day" feature indicates the closeness of the site visiting time to a specific special day (e.g. Mother's Day, Valentine's Day)
 - The dataset also includes operating system, browser, region, traffic type, visitor type as returning or new visitor, a Boolean value indicating whether the date of the visit is weekend, and month of the year.
Run the following code to load the csv file into a dataframe named "dfshopping".
# Setting up packages for data manipulation and machine learning
import calendar
import math
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import cm, pyplot
import sklearn as sk
from sklearn import tree
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split as train_test_split
from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier
from sklearn.datasets import make_classification
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from sklearn.preprocessing import MinMaxScaler
from sklearn.metrics import confusion_matrix, roc_curve, auc, roc_auc_score
import seaborn as sns
# Load train data
# label: Revenue
filepath = "data/classification-online-shopping/online_shoppers_intention.csv"
dfshopping = pd.read_csv(filepath)
3) Exploring the data
Next, we'll explore the dataset and familiarize ourselves with the features. Usually not all features help in the development of classification models. It is often helpful to make a preselection. The distribution of the values in the individual features can give an indication of which features correlate with each other. Furthermore, outliers can influence the training process. Getting familiar with the features is therefore an important step to optimize machine learning models.
# Exploring the data
# Checking the balance of labels
As we can see, there are much more cases in the data with a prediction "false". This is plausible because as mentioned, there are more visitors who won't actually buy something. Such imbalanced data can lead to a possible misinterpretation of the performance of the classification model that we are about to build. But now that we are aware of the fact that we are working with imbalanced data, we can later choose appropriate evaluation metrics.
We proceed by making some value and type conversions.
# Replacing visitor_type to int
dfshopping = dfshopping.replace({'VisitorType' : { 'New_Visitor' : 0, 'Returning_Visitor' : 1, 'Other' : 2 }})
# Coverting month column to numeric numeric values
df = dfshopping.copy()
monthlist = dfshopping['Month'].replace('June', 'Jun')
mlist = []
m = np.array(monthlist)
for mi in m:
 a = list(calendar.month_abbr).index(mi)
df['Month'] = mlist
In an additional step, we will remove all records with 'na' values.
# Delete records with NAs
Running the following code will create whisker plots for all features in the dataset.
# Whiskerplots
c = 'black'
df.drop('Revenue', axis=1).plot(kind='box', subplots=True, layout=(4,4), sharex=False, sharey=False, figsize=(14,14),
 title='Whister plot for input variables')
Feature boxplots
Next, we take a look at the histograms. Histograms are a way to visualize the distribution of numerical or categorical variables of a dataset. They are useful in the process to familiarize oneself with the data as they give a rough sense of the density of a distribution. To create the histograms, run the code below.
# Histograms
df.drop(['Revenue', 'Weekend'], axis=1).hist(bins=30, figsize=(14, 14), color='blue')
plt.suptitle("Histogram for each numeric input variable", fontsize=10)
Feature histograms
4) Training a logistic regression model that classifies online shoppers buying intentions
Now that we are familiar with the dataset, we can begin to prepare the data and train a classification model. First, we need to split the data into different train and test data sets. The train dataset (x_train) will use 70% of the data. The test dataset (y_test) will use the remaining 30% of the data. The datasets y_train and y_test contain the respective prediction labels.
After splitting the data, we will use the MinMaxScaler to scale the numeric features to a range between 0 and 1. This is a best practice in machine learning.
# Separate labels from training data
features = ['Administrative', 'Administrative_Duration', 'Informational',
 'Informational_Duration', 'ProductRelated', 'ProductRelated',
 'ProductRelated_Duration', 'BounceRates', 'ExitRates', 'PageValues',
 'Month', 'Region', 'TrafficType', 'VisitorType']
X = df[features] _TAG_ data
y = df['Revenue'] _TAG_ label
# Split the data into x_train and y_train data sets
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, train_size=0.7, random_state=0)
scaler = MinMaxScaler()
X_train = scaler.fit_transform(X_train)
X_test = scaler.transform(X_test)
Now, that we have prepared the data, we can train the logistic regression model. This can be done with the "fit" function of the logistic regression model.
# Training a classification model using logistic regression
logreg = LogisticRegression(solver='lbfgs')
score = logreg.fit(X_train, y_train).decision_function(X_test)
The trained model returns a training score that tells us how good the model has performed on the test dataset.
5) Evaluating model performance
The evaluation of model performance is an essential step in model development. The metrics tell us how good our model is at predicting the purchase intentions of online shoppers. As we will see, the distribution of classes in the data plays a major role in the evaluation of our model. In particular, the question is whether

Autumn's Circadian Rhythms
Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Oct. 11, 2017
I have mentioned often circadian rhythms often in my columns, website and Facebook. These are the rhythms of light and dark, sun and moon, the seasonal rhythms, new and full moon rhythms, etc. Last week three scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine for their work in circadian biology, the field of science dedicated to the 24-hour internal clock on which our bodies run. This 24-hour cycle determines and controls everything in our lives, internally and externally. It's about biological rhythms, synchronized to Earth's revolutions around the Sun and light from the heavens—from Sun, moon and stars.
Following each season's rhythms is part of circadian rhythm, foundation for year-round health. Each season calls for different types of food for our body's balance and well-being. Foods for the Autumn season, under the Ayurvedic dosha (energy) of Vata (air, wind, sky, clouds) are to be substantial and nourishing, high in protein and ghee (clarified butter), hot (not cool) foods made with stimulating spices. These keep our inner organs moist (Vata is air) and our minds and emotions anchored in the practical. We reduce summery cool, cold raw foods.
Autumn (Vata) calls us to begin consistent daily rhythms and routines, following the changes in light (circadian rhythms). To have silence, stillness and peace in the early hours of the day. Using specific fragrances—vetiver, geranium and citrus essential oils. We wear autumn colors of red, golden yellow and orange. Asleep by 10 p.m. we rise at dawn, listen to bird calls while standing in the rising morning light of the sun.
ARIES: The season has changed and so must our health regimes, our diets, the ways we exercise and how we plan our day. As Autumn begins it's good to think along new lines, preparing for the coming changes in light, color, sun and shadows. All of these are reflected in our fall and winter festivals. The seasonal changes are reflected within ourselves, too. Relationships need extra tending so everyone doesn't feel isolated, cold, alone, withdrawn, and left out.
TAURUS: It's good to be out and about, learning new things, attending lectures, classes, gathering information. Or, perhaps creating and teaching a class yourself. Always in your life your task has been to illumine the minds of humanity, a serious and disciplined task. It would be good to consider what would be playful, bring enjoyment, fun and a calling forth your lightness and spontaneity? Perhaps you need to swim in a warm natural pool.
GEMINI: What constitutes family to you, whether biological, friend, group (esoteric?), colleagues, etc.? Family matters more and more even if you tend to reject that thought. Something's not complete with someone. What would that be? With whom? Listening to others until you understand the essential message is an important Gemini goal. All of this brings love forth—your spiritual task.
CANCER: Make contact. These two words have a depth most don't understand. Making contact releases Love. But it must be true, authentic and intentional contact. It must be from the heart, connecting heart to heart, Soul-to-Soul. The results are that Love being released creates liberation for everyone. You are the one to begin this process. Do this ceaselessly, quietly, with heartfelt intention of contact with all kingdoms.
LEO: There's a sense that you must create a new plan concerning finances and resources. When this is accomplished, a new state of values will come forth. You may want to communicate more deeply with those close to you, sharing with them your values, asking what values they hold. Seek to know the values held in common. The questions about values have to do with what your desires and aspirations are for the future. Do you know?
VIRGO: You will want to come out of the shadows and into a greater light. Standing in shadows, perhaps in the shadow of another, is comfortable for you. However, there comes a time when we each must define ourselves, become a sovereign individual, recognize our own self-identity, understand what we initiate, realize that we're responsible, summon our confidence, and seek a new support system. Am I speaking to Virgo or Pisces? Both. For each is the shadow of the other.
LIBRA: As I prepared the garden for autumn I gathered together a sheaf of wheat. The Virgo symbol of nourishment for humanity. I thought of Libra, and what nourishes them—relationships, beauty, friends, equilibrium, balance, love, sacrifice, art. It's the art of the wheat sheaf that caught my eye and I thought Librans must get back to their art in whatever form interests them. Some paint, some have galleries, some are collectors. What is your art form? It's calling you.
SCORPIO: Do you sense with restlessness that there's a group that belongs to you, and yet somehow you can't find it? As you search for those like-minded who belong to you, assess what gifts you would offer them, and in turn, to the world. Your gifts and talents continue to develop. Summon patience. Speak with love to those close to you. Ask for their visions and goals. Synthesize everyone's.
SAGITTARIUS: Saturn has been in Sag for several years now. He has called for a perfect execution of your work. With Saturn's direction, new structures and new dimensions have been given, resulting in new thoughts flowing through your mind. You're being impressed with ideas that become ideals for humanity. Share your ideas with others who will assist you. Diplomacy is paramount.
CAPRICORN: What will you do this autumn? How will you reflect the autumn season in your home? Is the world calling to you with new ideas, new creativity? You are being prepared within for something new to emerge in the near future. Perhaps it's a course of study, something you want (or need) to learn, somewhere to visit, travel to, discover? Is there something you want to say to someone far away? Many things professional come your way.
AQUARIUS: Take extra care with and tend carefully to your money, valuables and resources. Create a place of safety for your money. Know what is coming in and going out. Use this time to discover what is needed and what is not. Give away what is not and then give more away. Giving provides you with meaning, a true sense of service and a liberation that allows you to move forward in your life. Will you be travelling?
PISCES: We are to do our best in every place we find ourselves in. Many of us are indecisive these days, sitting on the fence (uncomfortable), unable to decide where we're going, what to do when we don't know what to do, how to provide our gifts when opportunities don't seem to exist. Again, we (especially Pisces at this time) are to work at our best wherever we find ourselves. Relationships need compromise, patience and acceptance. Adaptation liberates us.

Wednesday, January 30,
Winter is a birthday, it tends to be more of a depression, especially due to cold and dark weather, as they tend to reduce their homes and reduce their social and physical activity.
Depression has long been linked to physical activity, but the nature of this association has, until now, left a question on the table: can it be used to reduce depression risk first?
A new study by the University Hospital of Massachusetts responded to the question. "Using genetic data, we have demonstrated that the higher levels of physical activity reduce the risk of depression," says Carmel Choi's head.
This means that if you do it regularly, it effectively reduces the risk of depression. This research is based on the set of data on the analysis of the association of physical activity and depression at the genetic level.
There were two set of physical activity data, in which the participants collected self-recorded exercise levels and data from a motion sensor.
Movement tracking sensors show that physical activity can prevent depression, but the self-recorded data set did not find that relationship.
In the study, I found that people who could not register physical activities, such as work or home cleanliness, were not registered. However, it helps to prevent the depression of any physical activity, depending on the study.
However, Choi has stated that "… of course, knowing that physical activity is useful to prevent depression is one thing, and other things really mean that people are active." More work is needed to find out how to adjust the recommendations for different categories of people with different health risks. "
Researchers are currently investigating the benefits of many people's sports and ways of promoting this information in general on physical activity.
Genetic attrition against depression must take a different perspective than those who have stressed depression.

Swordfish – Indian Ocean
Swordfish is a large, pelagic species found throughout tropical and temperate waters around the globe. They grow at moderate rates and produce many eggs.
In the Indian Ocean, Swordfish are captured by fishing fleets from many nations including Taiwan, Spain, Pakistan and Japan. Their abundance decreased through the 1990s and early 2000s as catches increased, but current Swordfish abundance in the Indian Ocean is at a medium level.
The majority of Swordfish in the Indian Ocean are taken with pelagic longlines, and some with gillnets. These fishing gears result in minimal habitat damage, but may accidentally catch endangered and protected species like sea turtles. Regulations for Swordfish fisheries are set by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission, but compliance with these regulations at the national level is poor.
This fish may have high levels of mercury that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More mercury info here.

How bent spaghetti break
Bent dry spaghetti do not break in half but instead in three or more pieces. With the aim to explain this surprising phenomenon, we studied a related problem, namely the dynamics of an elastic rod that is bent quasi-statically and then suddenly set free. Counter-intuitively, we find that the mere release of the rod induces a stress increase. The multiple breaking of bent rods, like dry spaghetti pasta, can then be understood as a cascade of releases (loss of cohesion upon breakings) followed by stress increases leading to new cracks.

 [WAIT n | NOWAIT]
OPTIMIZE TABLE has two main functions. It can either be used to defragment tables, or to update the InnoDB fulltext index.
MariaDB starting with 10.3.0
Set the lock wait timeout. See WAIT and NOWAIT.
OPTIMIZE TABLE works for InnoDB (before MariaDB 10.1.1, only if the innodb_file_per_table server system variable is set), Aria, MyISAM and ARCHIVE tables, and should be used if you have deleted a large part of a table or if you have made many changes to a table with variable-length rows (tables that have VARCHAR, VARBINARY, BLOB, or TEXT columns). Deleted rows are maintained in a linked list and subsequent INSERT operations reuse old row positions.
This statement requires SELECT and INSERT privileges for the table.
OPTIMIZE TABLE is also supported for partitioned tables. You can use ALTER TABLE... OPTIMIZE PARTITION to optimize one or more partitions.
You can use OPTIMIZE TABLE to reclaim the unused space and to defragment the data file. With other storage engines, OPTIMIZE TABLE does nothing by default, and returns this message: " The storage engine for the table doesn't support optimize". However, if the server has been started with the --skip-new option, OPTIMIZE TABLE is linked to ALTER TABLE, and recreates the table. This operation frees the unused space and updates index statistics.
Since MariaDB 5.3, the Aria storage engine supports progress reporting for this statement.
If a MyISAM table is fragmented, concurrent inserts will not be performed until an OPTIMIZE TABLE statement is executed on that table, unless the concurrent_insert server system variable is set to ALWAYS.
Updating an InnoDB fulltext index
When rows are added or deleted to an InnoDB fulltext index, the index is not immediately re-organized, as this can be an expensive operation. Change statistics are stored in a separate location. The fulltext index is only fully re-organized when an OPTIMIZE TABLE statement is run.
By default, an OPTIMIZE TABLE will defragment a table. In order to use it to update fulltext index statistics, the innodb_optimize_fulltext_only system variable must be set to 1. This is intended to be a temporary setting, and should be reset to 0 once the fulltext index has been re-organized.
Since fulltext re-organization can take a long time, the innodb_ft_num_word_optimize variable limits the re-organization to a number of words (2000 by default). You can run multiple OPTIMIZE statements to fully re-organize the index.
Defragmenting InnoDB tablespaces
MariaDB starting with 10.1.1
MariaDB 10.1.1 merged the Facebook/Kakao defragmentation patch
MariaDB 10.1.1 merged the Facebook/Kakao defragmentation patch, allowing one to use OPTIMIZE TABLE to defragment InnoDB tablespaces. For this functionality to be enabled, the innodb_defragment system variable must be enabled. No new tables are created and there is no need to copy data from old tables to new tables. Instead, this feature loads n pages (determined by innodb-defragment-n-pages) and tries to move records so that pages would be full of records and then frees pages that are fully empty after the operation. Note that tablespace files (including ibdata1) will not shrink as the result of defragmentation, but one will get better memory utilization in the InnoDB buffer pool as there are fewer data pages in use.
See Defragmenting InnoDB Tablespaces for more details.

Capital punishment has been the law in Oklahoma since 1804 when Congress made the criminal laws of the United States applicable in the Louisiana Purchase, which included present Oklahoma. These legal codes included the crime of "willful murder," carrying the death penalty. Through the years Congress found other offenses, including rape, that merited capital punishment as well.
Until Oklahoma 1907 statehood, capital crimes committed in Indian Territory were tried in the federal courts for Arkansas, Kansas, and Texas. However, the U.S. Federal District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, presided over by notorious Judge Isaac C. Parker, was Indian Territory's most famous criminal venue, with seventy-nine men going to the gallows under sentence of his court.
In 1889 Congress established a U.S. district court at Muskogee, the first federal court resident in Indian Territory. However, the court did not have jurisdiction of capital offenses, which continued to be tried in the federal courts for Arkansas, Kansas, and Texas. In 1890 aterritorial government, with its own judicial structure, was established for Oklahoma Territory. Until statehood, capital crimes committed in Oklahoma Territory were prosecuted in the territorial courts.
In 1895 Congress gave the Muskogee court, as of September 1, 1896, exclusive jurisdiction of all offenses committed against the laws of the United States in Indian Territory and repealed the jurisdiction of the Arkansas, Kansas, and Texas federal courts. One man was hanged under sentence of the Oklahoma Territory courts, and nine men and one woman went to the gallows under sentence of the Indian Territory court. From statehood until 19l5 executions were by hanging in the county of conviction. The records are not perfect, but the number of people hanged between statehood and 1915 is probably six, all men accused of murder. The fact that the number was not higher is because of Lee Cruce, Oklahoma's second governor.
Cruce was an inveterate foe of the death penalty. The best information is that only one person was executed during his term in office (1911-15), while at least twenty-two murderers escaped the hangman's noose. Cruce's successor, Robert L. Williams, did not share Cruce's view on capital punishment, and executions began again when Williams took office. The first year of Williams's term also saw Oklahoma change from hanging to electrocution as a method of execution.
In 1915 Henry Bookman, convicted in McIntosh County for murder, was the first person to be electrocuted in Oklahoma. The first execution for an offense other than homicide occurred in 1930. James Edward Forrest was put to death for rape, and subsequently there were executions for robbery with firearms and for kidnapping. In the late 1920s and during the 1930s there were as many as three on the same day. In 1972, when the U.S. Supreme Court declared the death penalty, as then administered, unconstitutional, eighty-two persons, all male, had died in Oklahoma's electric chair.
After the Supreme Court's ruling, states began attempting to enact constitutional death penalty statutes. Gov. David Boren convened a special session of the legislature in July 1976 to restore the capital punishment in Oklahoma. The legislators overwhelmingly voted in favor, 45 to1 in the senate, and 93 to 5 in the house. The first execution under the new law occurred in 1990. From 1915 to March 2004, Oklahoma had executed 156 individuals, including three women. Between 1915 and 1966 eighty-two died by electrocution, and one was hanged. Seventy-three died from lethal injection between September 1990 and March 2004.

 The Shortest History of England
 The story of England as you've never seen it before.
 In his bestselling, internationally-acclaimed The Shortest History of Germany, James Hawes told the story of a nation in 240 invigorating pages, tracing the roots of today's challenges back to the first encounters with Rome. In The Shortest History of England, he takes the same approach to his homeland.
 As he journeys from Caesar to Brexit via Conquest, Empire and World War, he discovers an England very different to the standard vision. Our stable island fortress, stubbornly independent, the begetter of parliaments and globe-spanning empires, is riven by an ancient fault-line that predates even the Romans; its fate has ever been bound up with that of its neighbours, whether we like it or not; and - for the past 1,000 years - it has harboured a class system like nowhere else on Earth.
 There has never been a better time to understand why England is the way it is, and there is no better guide

Example Pivot Control for Windows Phone 7

 main section goes here

 options section goes here

 about section goes here
I followed you since your first mention about your pivot control. Thanks for great job! =)
But I have a little question.
Is there a possibility to make a binding to pages and page's contents?
To be more specific let's assume following example. I have products which grouped into several product groups (the number of them is not known at design time). And I want to show user a pivot control which displays each product group as a page and list products of selected group as page's content (ie as a listbox).
It would be great if you provide a little example of how can I do it with your control.
that is a interesting request.. right now the control is very much static.. it allows you to dynamically define pivot pages in XAML, but if it supported binding then it would need to be able to handle changes that might occur in the bound definition - it would have to know how to handle adding/removing pivot pages at runtime.. the current code constructs the UI in the control's Loaded event - so it is not possible to change the pivot pages beyond that..
the best you could do with the current tool is to construct the pivot pages programatically, and then add the pivot page to your UI.. here is an example of something like that:
// create a collection of pivot titles and corresponding UI content areas:
Dictionary pivotPages = new Dictionary();
pivotPages.Add("main", new TextBlock() { Text = "main section goes here" });
pivotPages.Add("options", new TextBlock() { Text = "options section goes here" });
pivotPages.Add("about", new TextBlock() { Text = "about section goes here" });
/// Method for setting up the pivot control and adding it to the stage from a pivot menu collection definition
private void CreateAndDisplayPivotControl(Dictionary pivotPages)
PivotControl pc = new PivotControl();
foreach (string menuTitle in pivotPages.Keys)
PivotPage pp = new PivotPage() { PageTitle = menuTitle, Content = pivotPages[menuTitle] };
that may not meet your need, but unfortunately there would be a lot of work trying to support binding so it's not something i'll be able to do for you.. i am going to be curious though if the final control supports dynamic binding of titles and content.. thanks for the comment!
Nice work Roger!
It worked right away. But I added a Storyboard that animates content inside one of the contentpages. But as soon as I start the Storyboard I get the message "2213 An error has occurred."
Did anyone experience this as well?
Mark Monster
ive run into that error a few times.. i dont exactly know how to solve it every time, but it seems it occurs when you have two different storyboards trying to modify the same object at the same time.. maybe try to group your objects into a grid and then animate against that grid instead of the main root of the page that the pivot control is trying to animate?
Thanks for your reply Roger. I tried your suggestion, but it didn't help. But still I just hope to get this control from the Microsoft Guys themselves :-). For now I have at least something to prototype.
Mark Monster
First of all, thanks for the control! However, i can't make a simple textbox to work properly inside of it. Let's start with xaml:
It looks perfectly in emulator and all the motions go smooth. Now let's get straight to the problem and add a bit of c# code:
private void Search(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
string text = SearchTerm.Text;
I'm getting a NullReferenceException for the SearchTerm.Text. Vs reacts as if SearchTerm TextBox doesn't exist at all... Is that just my mistake or there are some problem with this control?
[StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Orientation="Horizontal"]
[TextBox x:Name="SearchTerm" Margin="20,0,0,0" Width="275" TextWrapping="Wrap"/]
[Button x:Name="SearchButton" Width="150" Content="SEARCH" Click="Search"/]
oops, sorry for the code. Can't post it the other way :(
if it compiles, but then fails at runtime it may be that you are trying to access the SearchTerm textbox before InitializeComponent() has run - that would cause the value to still be null.. i dont think this issue is relative to the control, but hopefully that helps - if not see if you can host your code somewhere for me to download and look at.
I implemented this in a sample app that I have, and yeah, I was getting an unhandled ArgumentException when switching pages, so I had a look at the source and the only things I found (and subsequently altered) were:
1) You're initialising the PivotPages property in the DependencyProperty.Register() method which isn't really a problem on its own, but if multiple pivots are created (which probably won't happen... I'm not sure) then you'll end up with an unintended singleton which will cause issues. I was working on a layout-type control where I was getting very similar exceptions, so it's probably completely unrelated hehe :)
2) Changing that first property let me actually step through the code and it looks like almost everywhere you call UIElement.TransformToVisual(), you get an ArgumentException with some obscure stack trace staring you in the face. For the purposes of this control (before an official one comes out), the TransformToVisual() stuff didn't need to be there, so I removed it and the control's been behaving fine since then. I'm not sure why this exception gets thrown, these things with the really unhelpful messages get on my nerves hehe :)
Anyway, that's what I found. The control looks good but I created a panorama control too and I'm just gagging for them to release some official stuff :)
Hi, when using the pivot control and within a pivot page i have a list box. If I try to get a reference of that list box from code, the list box is never initialised. Its always null. What can i do to solve this?


Grass snakes and humans
Because of their liking for gardens and particularly for compost heaps, grass snakes are often encountered in gardens. They are harmless to humans, though they can act quite aggressively if cornered, puffing up their bodies, hissing loudly and even lunging to make a strike with a closed mouth. However, that is not their only behaviour when they feel threatened. Sometimes they play dead, with mouth open and tongue hanging out. If they are actually caught, they will struggle violently and emit a foul-smelling substance from their anal glands.

The Linux Telephony Kernel API
Controlling Phone Devices—the ioctl System Call
Commands for the phone device to perform certain actions are not written to the phone device using a write call—only audio data is written to the device. To control the phone device, a set of ioctl functions are defined to handle the basic phone activities. This basic set of ioctl functions are defined in /usr/include/linux/telephony.h. Vendors who wish to extend that basic set of capabilities may do so, but those functions are limited to their own device driver and are outside the scope of the common Linux telephony API.
An example will best illustrate this potential. Using the telephony API with a Quicknet Internet PhoneJACK card and a phone plugged into the card (called an FXS port or POTS port by telephony folks), Listing 2 shows a brief program to ring the phone.
Listing 2. Ringing the Phone
You'll notice that the device is opened, defaulting to /dev/phone0 if the user does not provide a specific device name on the command line. The maximum number of rings is set with an ioctl call using the PHONE_MAXRINGS constant. The phone is then instructed to ring using the PHONE_RING ioctl. This example program is a simplified version of the LGPL module ring.c found in Quicknet's Software Developer Kit (SDK). It's too simple to do anything more than illustrate the technique and demonstrate the use of ioctls to control a phone device, but real-world programs need not be much more complicated, the API is fairly simple. All the Linux telephony API ioctl constants are defined in the header file /etc/include/linux/telephony.h.
It's this basic fact that allows software written for sound cards to be adapted easily for use with phone devices; like sound cards, the only data written using the read and write system calls is audio data. In addition, the low-level constants used in the defined telephony ioctl calls were designed to avoid conflict with existing sound card ioctls. Porting an application that expects a sound card to use a phone card instead will primarily involve handling the errors returned from the sound card ioctl calls your code makes. It should be possible (though perhaps not easy) to write a wrapper that opens the telephony device and spawns a child process (inheriting the open file descriptor to the phone device) that runs software expecting a sound card interface. While it's not totally transparent, it's possible and should not actually be that difficult.
Asynchronous Event Notification
Events that occur on the telephony side of the device need to be communicated to the user-space software running the phone. Old and crude methods for this required the software to poll the device continuously for status and changes. The Linux telephony API avoids that, of course, and provides two different techniques, both generically called "asynchronous event notification". The first method uses signals for indication, and the second uses the "exception bit" in the file descriptor set for exceptions. I'll cover both techniques in order.
The use of signals for event notification requires three steps: first, prepare and declare a signal handler function for the SIGIO signal; second, set the process ID (PID) for the running process to receive the signal; third, enable the generation of the signal on the open files descriptor using the fcntl system call. An excellent description of these steps can be found in Chapter 12 of Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment by W. Richard Stevens (a worthwhile book to have in any case). Again, a short example will probably clear this up. Assuming you have an open file descriptor ixj1 that is an open phone device, you can enable asynchronous event notification with signals with the following code snip:
signal(SIGIO, &getdata);
fcntl(ixj1, F_SETOWN, getpid());
oflags1 = fcntl(ixj1, F_GETFL);
fcntl(ixj1, F_SETFL, oflags1 | FASYNC);
and a related signal handling function (getdata in the code above) to process the data. When you get the signal, you still do not know what kind of event occurred—only that an event did occur. Your program would then have to make an ioctl call to the phone device to ask what kind of event was detected (more on this below). In addition, if your program has more than one open phone device file descriptor, you will not know which one generated the signal. And, signals can be complicated to deal with and can be unreliable in a multi-threaded program and, so, are avoided by some developers. These factors limit the effectiveness of this method, leading to the more useful case of using the "exception bit" in the file descriptor set for exceptions.
It's common for programs to set read and write exception sets and then use the select( ) system call to wait for a file descriptor to be readable or writable. A less well-known aspect of the select( ) call is the "exception set". The Linux telephony API uses this exception set to signal a process that a telephony event has occurred. Listing 3 presents a simple example using the file descriptor ixj1.
Listing 3. Using an Exception Set
This extremely simple (and not really useful) example is purely to illustrate the technique of using the exception set and select( ) to detect events. The phone device driver will set the appropriate bit in the exception set if an event has occurred, causing select( ) to return. The user can screen the read, write and exception descriptor sets to determine if its own file descriptor was marked by the device driver as ready for that kind of operation. If data is ready to be read, the statement FD_ISSET(ixj1,&rfds) will return TRUE; FD_ISSET(ixj1,&wfds) statement returns TRUE if the device is ready to be written to. And, if a telephony event has occurred, the FD_ISSET(ixj1,&efds) will return TRUE. So, how do you detect what specific event occurred?
The API provides a special PHONE_EXCEPTION ioctl call and an associated telephony_exception structure to decode the return value. This call will set bits in the structure that indicate which of the telephony events occurred (there may have been several). In the above example "hookstate" bit is examined in the statement if(ixje.bits.hookstate), and if that bit is set it indicates a change of status. An ioctl call is then made to determine if the phone is on or off hook. Real-world code would have used a large select or an extended if-else-if ladder to examine the contents of ixje.bits after the PHONE_EXCEPTION ioctl call. A detailed explanation of how to use this technique is beyond the scope of this article, but please refer to the /usr/include/linux/telephony.h file for details of what kinds of events can be detected.

The Cavern's Wise Woman: The Bear Goddess
cavernreviewTitle: The Cavern's Wise Woman: The Bear Goddess
Publisher: Spero Publishing
Author: Anne Welch
Pages: 90 pp
Price: $10.99 (paperback)/$3.99 (ebook)
ISBN: 978-_PHONE_ (paperback)/ 2940033057634 (ebook)
There are very few books in pagan and polytheist studies that deal exclusively with bears — or, to be specific, the Bear Goddess. While there are a great many deities and heroes associated with bears — Artemis comes to mind, and Arthur, and Artio (and see what those names all have in common?) — none of them were actually considered a bear deity. (To find one of those, you have to go halfway around the world from Europe in search of Nanuk, the Inuit polar bear god.) But the traces exist, embedded deeply across European and northern Asian prehistory, mythology, and linguistics, indicating the long-ago worship of just such a deity.
Anne Welch has done a masterful job of digging out these ancient fragments of lore, drawing on cave drawings, archaeological finds (including the discovery in France of a perfect circle of cave bear skulls that most specialists in Paleolithic archaeology possess cult significance), and linguistic roots. She melds these fragments with her own personal gnosis, based on years of practice, worship, and work. Her book discusses Arta, the ancient bear goddess of healing, metallurgy, herbalism, and magic, detailing the prayers and rituals she has created for Arta, as well as other facets of this goddess' nature.
Arta, Welch points out, is a goddess so old that almost all traces of her have been lost; she may have been worshipped since Paleolithic times, and subsequent religious practices by European cultures as they grew more civilized may have displaced or destroyed almost any record of her save the paintings and remains found in the caves in Switzerland, Slovenia, Germany, and France.
A note: strict reconstructionists will point out that this book contains far more personal gnosis than historical fact. While it is true that the historical record is, of course, silent on the existence of this particular goddess, much less any recorded human worship of her, the book is less about facts that may only be verified in history books and museums, and more about building a personal religious practice through communication with the deity in question, an understanding of the context in which such worship might historically have appeared, and a willingness to see the patterns in the recorded religious beliefs of other ancient cultures that bear (pardon the pun) a distinct familiarity to what Welch is sharing here. She points out possible links to other gods and goddesses such as Artemis and Odin, and suggests it is possible that some of the gaps we have in our knowledge of pre-Christian history might well be filled in with Arta and other deities like Her.
In the end, it is worth noting that all modern, non-indigenous (Hindu, Shinto, African and Chinese folk/tribal religions) polytheistic traditions are composed mainly of two things: our knowledge of the historical facts, and our personal experience with the gods, spirits, ancestors, and heroes we are honoring. The only difference between the worship of Arta and any of these other traditions (including heathenry, Hellenic paths, Celtic traditions, and so on) is the proportion of historical facts to personal experience; in some traditions, the history outweighs the personal experience, and in others — such as the worship of Arta — the opposite might seem to be true.
What is also true is that historians, archaeologists, and other scientists are constantly discovering new pieces of our myriad ancient cultures to add to the puzzle that is what we know so far. It is, of course, highly unlikely that we will ever have every piece in the puzzle, but there is nothing to say that someone, in the not too distant future, might find such historical evidence to lend more factual weight to the worship of Arta, and I sincerely hope that that day might come soon; adding that knowledge to what we already have can only serve to deepen and broaden the vast tapestry of polytheistic history, further confirming the richness of the religious practices and beliefs of those cultures.
The Cavern's Wise Woman: The Bear Goddess is not a book for everyone, but for those with an interest in potential European religious practices, a love of bears, or just an abiding curiosity, they could do far worse than to invest in a copy and open their minds, hearts, and spirits to the roar of the Bear Goddess.

 HI The book is not available through either Amazon or Barns & Noble. Can you tell me how to get a copy?
 - Hhmm. Yeah, I've looked around, and it does not even seem to be available through the publisher's site anymore. You might try contacting the folks at Spero Publishing; they might be between print runs or planning a revised edition.

This certificate focuses on the culture and care of trees, providing a sound foundation for any working or hoping to work with tree establishment or maintenance. Unlike many other courses in arboriculture, this course also provides a broad foundation across all aspects of horticulture.
Work with trees the lungs of the world.
To work in the challenging and stimulating arboriculture industry you need fundamental knowledge and understanding of trees, their amenity value and their indisputable value to the environment. Such knowledge includes the maintenance and management of trees; tree assessment for health, monetary or environmental value, fundamentals of planting, transplanting, pruning, site planning, identification and treatment of pests diseases, nutritional and other disorders, tree surgery, aftercare and advice and tree removal.
Trees are the longest living organisms on earth, they benefit the community and improve our quality of life in almost immeasurable ways. They create the oxygen we breathe, reduce air and water pollution and uptake water to help reduce storm water run-off. They also provide shade, beauty, sound barriers, windbreaks and reduce summer urban heat.
If a tree is growing in a favourable environment and its genetic make-up also favours that environment it will be healthy and grow to optimum size and shape. A knowledgeable arborist understands that this is not always the case and sometimes, through environmental or other factors, trees will need help. They will also know that working with trees is about more then felling them; once a tree is removed it cannot be put back! Arborists are there to encourage and maintain healthy, growing trees where at all possible; their work therefore has an important role in the community.
Opportunities in this growing industry include employment in private specialist contracting businesses, self-employment, local and state government positions. Activities include the maintenance and care of trees and large shrubs in private gardens, public parks, reserves, bushland reserves, recreational areas, industrial complexes, housing estates and institutions.

The school is the best place to learn new things. Kids enjoy being in school especially if they get to learn stuffs through fun and wholesome learning experiences.
Not only do they get to learn about how to read and write but also how to become responsible, industrious, kind, and caring towards other living things like animals.
The classroom is the ideal place for learning. Aside from books, visual aids, and other instructional materials, teachers should also consider having an aquarium in the classroom.
Here are the reasons why you should have an aquarium in the classroom:
1. Help children learn about different species of aquatic plants and animals
Having an aquarium can expose kids to all kinds of marine life like fishes and seaweeds. They will be able to observe how they grow and how they interact in their habitat.
2. Teach children about responsibility and caring for living things
Now that you have a class aquarium, children can learn about being responsible and how to take care of marine life by doing their part in feeding the fishes and cleaning the aquarium.
3. Encourage children to help one another
Children will be encouraged to work together and help each other in order for your aquarium to have healthy fishes and plants.
Aquariums should not only be confined in our homes but also in other places like in the classrooms. They are not only decorations but they serve as avenues for learning. [Aquarium decoration]

Brief Summary
Pneumocystis jirovecii (formerly known as Pneumocystis carinii) is a fungus found in the lungs of mammals where they reside without causing overt infection unless the host's immune system becomes compromised, at which time an often lethal pneumonia can develop. This fungus is found in humans and animals worldwide. Serologic evidence indicates that most healthy children have been exposed by age 3 to 4. Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) occurs in immunosuppressed individuals and in premature, malnourished infants.

Thefeatures bullets section highlights information about the DSP functions, features, and options of the device. Some features bullets provide an indication of functionality and application of the device, while others define peripherals and package options.
The Features section of a data sheet is typically located on the first page of the data sheet. Most often, they are indicated using a bullet format to provide a break-down on a peripheral or device designation. Typical information contained in this section include:
Clock and cycle time - This data provides the maximum selectable speeds and clock outputs the processor can operate under normal conditions. This data is also used to define the instruction or cycle time the device can perform an instruction.
Package Options - This section will provide information on the type of packages available for the device and the pin counts
Instruction set - This section summarizes the type of architecture and special features that optimize code size or execution time.
Peripherals - This section summarizes the peripherals available on the device as well as define important parameters of their operation (registers, interfaces)
Memory - This section will define the sizes of both on chip memory and off chip addressing space. The data will also include a break-down on how that memory is available for data and program space.


J.M. Ledgard is that rare writer who elevates hard reporting with unexpected language. Of the tallest building in the world, he observes that it is like a "glorious hypodermic needle". About ants, he muses, "As primitives we ate them, they were our crunch, and now they are lodged in our subconscious." As for exploring the depths of the sea, he suggests that unlike space travel, which "offers a sighted journey towards infinity", ocean descent involves "a blind journey towards finitude".
Based in Nairobi as The Economist's East Africa correspondent, he is also a regular contributor to Intelligent Life magazine, with features about Africa's digital revolution (for which he recently won a Diageo Africa business reporting award), ants and E.O. Wilson, and the ocean's eerily remote floor, among others. Given his affection for the unique turn of phrase, It is perhaps unsurprising that he is also a novelist. "Submergence", his second novel, now out from Jonathan Cape, is a story about a British secret agent who is held hostage by jihadist fighters in Somalia; a woman who has become a leading researcher of ocean life; and their brief love affair, memorable and remote. This is a thrilling work, written with a literary, Sebaldian flair.
Here at More Intelligent Life we are fans of Ledgard and excited about his book. For a better sense of what "Submergence" is about, listen to this interview between Ledgard and Fiammetta Rocco, The Economist's books and arts editor:


What type of piping is needed for my compressed air system?
While many reciprocating air compressor users simply connect their air hose directly to the discharge valve on their compressor, some users prefer to install a downstream air system to route the compressed air to their tools and equipment.
In this case, we recommend using Ingersoll Rand SimplAir piping for all industries. The SimplAir system is lightweight, provides superior corrosion resistance, and offers easy installation and modification.
 Ingersoll Rand Simplair Piping
There are some piping options that should not be used as they are not intended for this use, such as:
Unfortunately, although this type of piping is considered the most common because it is readily available, it could also be considered dangerous. PVC will eventually become brittle over time when used in a compressed air system leading to cracks, breaks or even shattering. These failures, combined with air under pressure, are potentially fatal due to the airborne, razor-sharp shrapnel. The use of PVC is an OSHA violation, which means you could incur a hefty fine.
Rubber hoses work as a temporary solution, but they are not energy or cost-efficient. When you use rubber hoses, you tend to have pressure drop due to the hose not being rigid. In addition, over time your hoses will start to create an odor because of the rubber breaking down, which will eventually find its way into your products.

We consider the collisions of plane gravitational and electromagnetic waves with
distinct wavefronts and of arbitrary polarizations in a Minkowski background. We
first present a new, completely geometric formulation of the characteristic initial
value problem for solutions in the wave interaction region for which initial data are
those associated with the approaching waves. We present also a general approach to
the solution of this problem which enables us in principle to construct solutions in
terms of the specified initial data. This is achieved by re-formulating the nonlinear
dynamical equations for waves in terms of an associated linear problem on the
spectral plane. A system of linear integral "evolution" equations which solve this
spectral problem for specified initial data is constructed. It is then demonstrated
explicitly how various colliding plane wave space-times can be constructed from
given characteristic initial data.
This pre-print has been submitted, and accepted, for publication in the journal, Classical and quantum gravity. The definitive version: ALEKSEEV, G.A, and GRIFFITHS, J.B., 2004. Collision of plane gravitational and electromagnetic

From Ohio History Central
United Romanian Societies Carpatina of Cleveland
The Carpatina Society is the first Romanian mutual-benefit society in Cleveland, Ohio. It also is the first such society in the United States of America.
Forty-one Romanian Ohioans established the Carpatina Society on November 1, 1902. The society's original purpose was to provide Romanian immigrants with a social and cultural institution to practice traditional Romanian customs and beliefs. The Carpatina Society also provided members with financial assistance if they became ill or helped with funeral costs if a family member died. In 1917, the Carpatina Society built its own meeting hall. The structure was known as Carpatina Hall. Cleveland's Carpatina Society continues to enhance Ohio's cultural landscape at the start of the twenty-first century.

Overvoltage is any voltage, whose peak value exceeds the appropriate peak value of the highest operating voltage in the LV power system. Overvoltage is usually an accidental phenomenon, which differs in time history and the place of its occurrence. Its parameters are defined by its cause (lightning stroke, switching in heavy-current network and so on) and also by electrical character of the circuit (wave resistance, ending impedance, discharge ability and so on). In the past few years the range of current and voltage courses for different uses has been standardized. These courses enable implementation of testing on equipment and constructive elements under the same conditions. In the following text the most important parameters of the most used standardized courses will be defined (according to EN 61 643-11, IEC 60-1 and CSN 34 5640).
|Peak value (amplitude) Umax,Imax||peak value is the maximal value of voltage or current
which is achieved by monitored impulse course
|Front of impulse||a part of voltage or current impulse before the peak
|Front time of current impulse T1||1,25multiple of the time interval between moments, when actual current value rise from 10% to 90% of the peak value|
|Front time of voltage impulse T1||1,67multiple of the time interval between moments, when actual voltage value rise from 30% to 90% of the peak value|
|Tail of impulse||a part of voltage or current impulse after the peak value|
|Time to half-value T2||the time interval between virtual beginning of impulse and the moment, when observed course reduces to 50% of its peak value|
Note: The virtual beginning is an intersection of time axis and bisector, which goes through points, where actual value of the front of impulse at first time reaches partly given lower value and partly given higher value …in detail see the following two figures.
Standardized testing current impulse
two basic types of testing current impulses are used during SPD tests:
- Testing impulse of lightning current Iimp(10/350) – it is used for simulation of lightning current (so-called test by lightning current)
- Testing current impulse Imax(8/20) – it is used for simulation of indirect effect of lightning and switching overvoltages. Arrester must discharge cca 17,5x higher charge during test by the testing impulse of lightning current Iimp(10/350), than during testing by the current impulse Imax(8/20) with the same amplitude. Also resulting in a different construction of the lightning current arresters tested by the lightning current impulse Iimp(10/350) and surge arresters tested by the current impulse Imax(8/20).
Course and parameters of lightning voltages and currents
In the chart shown below there are typical courses and parameters of lightning impulse voltages and currents, which occur in conductive parts of landscape, building constructions and metal lines in consequence of lightning stroke (taking in account influences caused by galvanic, inductive or capacitive coupling).The typical values of lightning impulse voltages and currents, which occur in conductive parts of landscape, building constructions and metal lines.
Testing current impulse in the waveform of 10/350μs is most often used for simulation of currents infiltrating into power lines and electric equipment in consequence of galvanic coupling. In case of inductive and capacitive coupling the voltage and current impulses are considerably shorter. The examination of interfering lightning effects in relation to inductive surges (currents) in consequence of inductive coupling is most often carried out by the testing current impulses in the waveform of 8/20μs. The examination of lightning effects in relation to interfering surges (currents) in consequence of capacitive coupling is similarly carried out by the testing voltage impulses in the waveform of 1,2/50μs.
Kinds of surge couplings
Disturbing energies (e.g. voltages, currents, fields) can infiltrate into the building by ways of different couplings whereas cabling and its layout represent an important part here.
During near and direct lightning strokes into the lightning conductors of buildings, the overvoltage shows in consequences of a galvanic coupling. The galvanic coupling is given by a different size of ground potentials along the building (earth electrodes, protective connection etc.)
There is always a capacitive coupling (parasitic capacity) between the source of interference and the receiver. The higher the front rate of rise of the disturbing voltage impulse (du/dt) is, the stronger its interference effect is.
There is always an inductive coupling (magnetic field) between the source of interference and the receiver. The higher the front rate of rise of the disturbing current impulse (di/dt) activating the magnetic field is, the higher the interference effect is.
Types of overvoltage
Direct Lightning Stroke
A lightning stroke is an electric discharge between an electrically charged cloud and earth surface (earth lightning), between two or more clouds and each other or between parts of one cloud (cloud lightning). Just a small percentage of strokes happens be tween the surface and the clouds. The lightning strokes originate in the „storm cells", which stretch average out up to few kilometers. Every storm cell is active for up to 30 minutes and generates from two to three lightning strokes per minute. The storm cell often reaches the height of over 10 kilometers, whereas the bottom visible part of the clouds is usually at the height of one to two kilometers. In the centre of the storm cell there exists a strong rising air flow, which causes separation of positive and negative charges. The positive charge is usually binded on the frazils at the top of the storm cell, while negative charge is usually binded on water drops at the bottom of the cell. Nearby the earth the cell is charged with positive charge which is usually caused by discharge especially from forest. Beyond the storm cells originating from the summer heat there are storm cells originating from the frontal cloudiness as a result of big air masses movement. The storm frequency depends on the season. In summer months (July–August) there are on average 5 times more storms than in winter months (December–February). The environmental heating up supports the storm creation. In autumn warm water near the seacoast gives the necessary energy for the storm creation. According to IEC 1312-1:1995 and IEC 62305 it is possible to describe lightning charges by five basic parameters.
|Total impoulse lightning charge Qf||max.300 C|
|THe first stroke charge Qs||max.100 C|
|The first stroke peak current Iimp||max.200 kA|
|Specific energy the first stroke current W/R||max.10 MJ/Ω|
|Rate of rise of the current di/dt||max.200 kA/μs|
General distribution of lightning current when an object is thunderstruck
Protection system of LV power system composited of lightning current arresters and surge arresters SPD must be able to discharge lightning currents or their substantial parts without their damage. It is generally recommended to come out from the ohmic resistance of the building earthing, pipeline, power distribution system and so on for the purposes of establishing current distribution going through SPD in case of direct lightning stroke into a building protected by the outside lightning system. The following figure shows a typical example of lightning current distribution in an object hit by direct lightning stroke.
Where an individual evaluation is not possible, it can be assumed that:
- 50% of the total lightning current Iimp=200kA (10/350)…. IS1= 100kA (10/350) enters the earth termination system of the LPS (lightning protection system) of the structure considered
- 50% of Iimp=200kA (10/350)…. IS2= 100kA (10/350) is distributed among the services entering the structure (external conductive parts, el.power, communication lines, etc.) The value of the current flowing in each service Ii is given by IS/n, where n is the number of the above mentioned services (see the above figure). For evaluating the current Iv in individual conductors in unscreened cables, the cable current Iiis divided by m, the number of conductors, i.e. Iv = Ii /m.
For shielded cables, the current will flow along the shield. Requirement on dimensioning of protective system SPD in the most usual connection of the building and LV power system (TNC – system 230/400V/50Hz) results from this reasoning: For maximum lightning current size Iimp = 200kA (10/350) it is enough to dimension the protective cascade of each phase conductor entering the object on cca 4% Iimp, that is on cca 8kA (10/350) in most cases.
Distribution of protected area into the lightning protection zones
The standard IEC 13 12-1 and IEC 62 305 defines the lightning protection zones LPZ from the respect of the direct even indirect lightning effect. These zones are characteristic thanks to fundamental breaks of the electromagnetic conditions in their limited zones.
|LPZ OA||Zone where items are subject to direct lightning strokes, and therefore may have to carry up to the full lightning current; the unattenuated electromagnetic field occurs here.|
|LPZ OB||Zone where items are not subject to direct lightning strokes, but the unattenuated electromagnetic field occurs|
|LPZ OC||Zone where items are not subject to direct lightning strokes and where currents on all conductive parts within this zone are further reduced compared with zones 0B. In this zone the electromagnetic field may also be attenuated depending

out Name of file to write output to.
[norm] Normalize all correlation functions, i.e., Cl(t = 0) = Pl(t = 0) = 1:0.
[drct] Use the direct method to calculate correlations instead of FFT; this will be much slower.

Peform IRED[reference] analysis on previously defined IRED vectors (see vector ired) using eigenmodes calculated from those vectors with a previous 'diagmatrix' command. The number of defined IRED vectors should match the number of eigenmodes calculated. Autocorrelation functions for each mode and the corresponding correlation time tm will be written to filename.cmt. Autocorrelation functions for each vector will be written to filename.cjt.
Relaxation rates and NOEs for each N-H vector will be written to or added to the the end of the standard output. For the calculation of tm the normalized correlation functions and only the first third of the analyzed time steps will be used. For further information on the convergence of correlation functions see reference.
Example of IRED in Cpptraj
In cpptraj, IRED analysis[566] can now be performed in one pass (as opposed to the two passes previously required in ptraj). First, IRED vectors are defined (in this case for N-H bonds) and an IRED matrix is calculated and analyzed. The IRED vectors are then projected onto the calculated IRED eigenvectors in the ired analysis command to calculate the time correlation functions. If the parameter order is specified, order parameters based
on IRED are calculated. By specifying the relax parameter, relaxation rates and NOEs can be obtained for each N-H vector. Note that the order of the IRED matrix should be the same as the one specified for IRED analysis.
