For inflatable dinghies, it is inevitable that water will enter the ship when entering the ocean. After all, the ship's side is not very high, but this problem is not to worry. Inflatable assault boats are known as never wrecking, and even if the ship is filled with water, it will not sink. The hull pontoon has a large storage capacity and a strong buoyancy capability. Generally, if the water in the ship is full of buoyancy, it can be fully withstood. Wet body is a must, this is what makes inflatable dinghy different!
 However, even if it is into the sea, the inflatable dinghies rarely have water inflow. Most of the time, the ocean is gentle, there is not much wind and waves, and there is no need to worry about seawater splashing into the ship. If there is a large wind and waves, the sea water constantly rushes into the ship, first keep calm, because even if the ship is filled with sea water, the buoyancy of the hull can still withstand, the only thing to do is to keep the hull stable. When the ship is filled with water, the gravity will oscillate with the water flow, and in severe cases it may cause the ship to turn over, so it is important to maintain the hull smooth. Note: If water is constantly coming in, there is a drain valve at the end of the assault boat. Open the drain valve so that the seawater can flow out by itself.
The solution after the inflatable rubber boat enters the water;There is no way to solve the problem of the water inflated rubber boat. The only way is to keep the hull balance and open the drain valve. However, there are still some solutions to other problems.
1. When the sea water enters the ship, the clothes will be wet. You can buy a waterproof skirt to ensure that the clothes are not wet and keep warm.
2, you can prepare a water scoop, the ship can be crowded out of the sea water for a long time, to avoid excessive weight loss.
3, due to wave fluctuations will cause the hull to appear high and low, so the sea water can not be drained with water scoop and drain valve, you can spare a sponge to drain the remaining water.
The threat of water ingress is not great, and the biggest safety hazard is to overturn the ship. It is also said above that if the ship is filled with sea water, it will cause the hull to lose weight and overturn. If there is a real overturn, we have to use the following self-rescue methods;
1. When the ship has serious weight loss, first grasp the safety rope first, and when the ship turns over, it will not be taken away by the wind and waves. (Note; be prepared before overturning, not to be crushed by an inflatable rubber boat)
2. Before the wind and waves are fixed, do not try to flip the hull back. You should grab the safety rope and keep the head out of the water.
3. After the wind and waves calmed down, I began to think of ways to flip the boat back and board the ship again. (Note; if it is a person, due to the hull being too heavy, you should give up after trying two times without fruit, to avoid losing too much physical strength)
4, when waiting for the ship again, people need to cooperate well for a long time, press the upper right and press the left upper right to avoid losing weight again.
5. After returning to the ship, if it is scraped off the shore by the wind and waves, please do not try to use the paddle to return to the shore. You should use the communication equipment to call for help and wait for the rescue.
1. Before you enter the sea, you must wear a life jacket and other rescue buoys.
2, must bring the communication equipment, and wrapped in a sealed bag in the underwear, in case you need it from time to time.

- SPECIAL REPORTS
Rising health care costs are one of the biggest challenges facing the American auto industry today. In fact, some OEMs and Tier One suppliers spend more on health care than on steel—as much as $2,000 per vehicle produced.
Reducing injuries on the assembly line and improving productivity are essential to reining in skyrocketing health care costs. That's the goal of Ohio State University's Center for Occupational Health in Automotive Manufacturing (COHAM).
"We design assembly tasks and processes that minimize occupational health risks and enhance productivity and quality," says William Marras, COHAM director and a professor in the department of integrated systems engineering. "Our mission is to empower state-of-the-art technology and cutting-edge analysis methods to protect worker health, reduce worker injuries and optimize high-tech vehicle production."
Many leading automotive manufacturers, such as BMW, Faurecia, Honda and Toyota, have turned to COHAM for assistance since the organization was created six years ago. Research projects have changed the way that air bags, bumpers, doors, headliners, instrument panels, wiring harnesses and other subassemblies are installed and attached in vehicles.
"We are the only university-based full-scale manufacturing operation in the world where automobile manufacturers and suppliers can test the effect of manufacturing systems on the health of workers," claims Marras. "This approach provides quantitative cost-benefit information to manufacturers so that they can make production decisions based upon scientific evidence."
Marras and his colleagues tap into basic ergonomic research techniques developed at Ohio State's biodynamics laboratory. The 3,500-square-foot facility is equipped with a wide variety of tools that measure how the body works and how it responds to various types of muscle stresses and joint loads.
Engineers at the facility have developed several testing devices in-house. For instance, a wrist motion monitor measures how rapidly wrists move when performing various assembly tasks. A lumbar motion monitor studies back movement and exertion.
When tackling a new ergonomics challenge, engineers first visit the manufacturer's assembly line to talk with operators and take basic measurements.
"However, there are limits on what you can do on the plant floor," says Marras. "For instance, you can't do MRIs or strap a bunch of electrodes onto assemblers. That's where COHAM comes in."
The center features 5,000-square-feet of simulated plant floor. It includes conveyors, parts bins, workstations, overhead hoists, zero-gravity arms, and a wide assortment of pneumatic, electric and battery-powered fastening tools.
"It's designed to look like a real auto plant and it provides us with a lot of flexibility," says Marras. "For example, we can easily change the speed of the assembly line to measure and monitor how operators react."
Full-time line workers are typically involved in all COHAM research projects. In addition, Ohio State students are brought in to simulate new hires.
Several years ago, Marras and his colleagues conducted a research project for Honda aimed at reducing musculoskeletal injuries associated with DC-electric torque tools. The engineers tested a variety of right-angle fastening tools and evaluated how they affect the upper extremities of assemblers.
One of the most recent COHAM projects involved the development of a carriage that tilts cars sideways so assemblers can easily access interior areas while standing. As part of the study, the engineers had 12 people install components in a car's interior, underbody and engine compartment while standing. They measured stresses on the people's bodies when the car was tilted at different angles.
"Of nine different installation tasks, seven became much less strenuous when the car was tilted on its side 45 degrees," says Marras. "The other two showed similar improvements when the car was tilted completely sideways at 90 degrees."

IMS Learning Information Services - Overview
The Learning Information Services (LIS) specification is the definition of how systems manage the exchange of information that describes people, groups, memberships, courses and outcomes within the context of learning. This specification establishes the means by which learning management systems exchange relevant information i.e. it defines system interoperability through a set of identified services.
IMS Global Learning Consortium
IMPORTANT: The LIS v2.0 specification supersedes the IMS GLC Enterprise Services v1.0 specification.
The specification is based upon the concepts of:
- Interoperability – LIS focuses on the exchange of information between learning information systems e.g. student information system, learning management system, etc. There are no assumptions in the specification on how the data is managed internally within a learning information system;
- Service-oriented – LIS defines the exchange of information in terms of the services being supplied by the collaboration of the systems;
- Component-based – the LIS are composed of the Person Management Service (PMS), Group Management Service (GMS), Membership Management Services (MMS), Course Management Service (CMS), Outcomes Management Service (OMS) and the Bulk Data Exchange Management Service (BDEMS);
- Behaviors and data models – the LIS are defined in terms of their behaviors and data models. The behaviors cause changes in the state of the data model and the state of the data model will only be altered as a result of a clearly defined behaviour;
- Multiple Bindings – the LIS information model is to be defined so that a range of different bindings can be made available. The bindings of immediate importance are to the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
|The Set of Services
The LIS consists of six services that can either be used individually or in various combinations.
The six services are:
- Person Management Service Information Model (PMS) – to manage and manipulate information about People by exchange data about the people who are participating in learning;
- Group Management Service Information Model (GMS) – to manage and manipulate organizational structures, and other Group structures, by exchanging information about those structures;
- Membership Management Service Information Model (MMS) – to manage and manipulate enrolment of People on Courses, and other Group activities, by exchanging information about those memberships;
- Course Management Service Information Model (CMS) – to manage and manipulate Course structure information by exchanging data for about taught courses;
- Outcomes Management Service Information Model (OMS) – to manage and manipulate results information, used in Grade books etc, by exchanging data for outcomes information;
- Bulk Data Exchange Management Services Information Model (BDEMS) – to provide initialization and synchronization transfer of very large amounts of data. This includes support for the data models from each of the other five services.
|The Higher Education Profiles
The Higher Education (HE) Profiles identify the minimal subset of the functionality that must be supported by systems developed for deployment in HE. These Profiles (there is a Core plus several Additions) define the set of operations and data models that must be supported by the systems supporting the set of services within the LIS. A system can support greater functionality but there is no guarantee of interoperability for those extra features. Interoperability is only guaranteed for the functionality described in the HE Profiles.
The Core Profile consists of:
- The createPerson, deletePerson, readPerson, readPersons and replacePerson operations for the Person Management Service;
- The createMembership, deleteMembership, readMembership, readMemberships and replaceMembership operations for the Membership Management Service;
- The createCourseSection, deleteCourseSection, readCourseSection, readCourseSections and replaceCourseSection operations for the Course Management Service;
- The readResult and readResultIdsForLineItemWithLineItemType operations for the Outcomes Management Service;
- The announceBulkDataExchange and the reportBulkDataExchange operations for the Bulk Data Exchange Management Service.
|The four Addition Profiles are:
- Group – provides support for the management of Groups using the Group Management Service;
- Grade – provides support for the management of grades and grade books using the Outcomes Management Service;
- Combined Sections – provides support for the management of SectionAssociations using the Course Management Service;
- Full Course Hierarchy – provides support for the management of the full course structure (templates, offerings, sections and section associations) using the Course Management Service.

Professor Elliot Meyerowitz ForMemRS
Elliot Meyerowitz is an American plant scientist who has pioneered the use of the mustard plant Arabidopsis thaliana as a model species for plant genetics and development studies. Elliot led the application of cutting-edge technologies to plant research, enabling elucidation of the molecular basis of phenomena such as the formation of flowers.
Originally specialising in developmental genetics of fruit flies, in the 1980s Elliot decided to apply newly invented molecular technologies to plants. Little was known about plant genetics, but by sequencing, cloning and studying genes in Arabidopsis, he established the species as a model organism that is now studied around the world.
Combining live imaging with molecular-tagging technologies, Elliot detailed how flower formation is controlled. He discovered the first plant hormone receptor and identified genes that control cell numbers in the plant growing tip. Elliot's work has provided the fundamental framework around which the field of plant development has been built.

Hope for endangered species as black rhino calf born in Australian zoo
Written on 03/04/2021
By Ciarán Mather
In an uplifting development, a rare black rhino calf was recently born in an Australian zoo: sparking some hope for the survival of the endangered species.
The new-born is the offspring of a female black rhino named Bakhita at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo in New South Wales last week.
The zoo's director, Steve Hinks, said: 'This is the fourth calf for experienced mother Bakhita, who is the zoo's most successful black rhino breeding female and also the first female black rhino born here.'
He added that the currently-unnamed calf is also the legacy of Kwanzaa, a male black rhino who sadly passed away last year.
The zoo added that both Bakhita and her calf are doing well and are being left to bond in a special behind-the-scenes enclosure monitored by staff via CCTV.
They are native to many African countries such as Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Although the rhinoceros is referred to as black, its colours actually vary from brown to grey.

Remember that just because your ancestor appears on a 1830 real property tax list for Coshocton County, Ohio, it doesn't mean he lived there. A person could have owned property in a place without living there. People on personal property tax lists are more likely to have lived in the location.
But as for the real property lists, your ancestor might have speculated on property, inherited it, acquired it through military service, etc. and never lived on it. Most property owners lived on or near the property, but don't use your ancestor's name on a real property tax list as your sole proof that he lived there.

This study aimed at estimating a health production function for East Mediterranean Region (EMR) based on the Grossman theoretical model. Methods This ecological study was performed using the econometric methods. The panel data model was used in order to determine the relationship between life expectancy and socioeconomic factors. The data for 21 EMR countries between 1995 and 2007 were used. Fixed-effect-model was employed to estimate the parameters based on Hausman test. Results In estimating the health production function, factors such as income per capita (β=0.05, P<0.001), education index (β=0.07, P<0.001), food availability (β=0.01, P<0.001), level of urbanisation (β=0.10, P<0.001), and employment ratio (β=0.11, P<0.001) were specified as determinants of health status, proxied by life expectancy at birth. A notable result was the elasticity of life expectancy with respect to the employment rate and its significance level was different between males (β=0.13, P<0.001) and females (β=0.08, P>0.001). Conclusion In order to improve the health status in EMR countries, health policymakers should focus on the factors which lie outside the healthcare system. These factors are mainly associated with economic growth and development level. Thus, the economic stabilisation policies with the aim of increasing the productivity, economic growth, and reducing unemployment play significant roles in the health status of the people of the region.}, keywords = {Health Production Function,Healthcare System,Life Expectancy,Eastern Mediterranean Region,Panel Data Model}, url = {_URL_ eprint = {_URL_ }

DNSSEC-TRUST-ANCHORS.D(5) dnssec-trust-anchors.d DNSSEC-TRUST-ANCHORS.D(5)
dnssec-trust-anchors.d, systemd.positive, systemd.negative - DNSSEC trust anchor configuration files
The DNSSEC trust anchor configuration files define positive and negative trust anchors systemd-resolved.service(8) bases DNSSEC integrity
POSITIVE TRUST ANCHORS
Positive trust anchor configuration files contain DNSKEY and DS resource record definitions to use as base for DNSSEC integrity proofs. See
RFC 4035, Section 4.4 for more information about DNSSEC trust anchors.
Positive trust anchors are read from files with the suffix.positive located in /etc/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/, /run/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/
and /usr/lib/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/. These directories are searched in the specified order, and a trust anchor file of the same name in an
earlier path overrides a trust anchor files in a later path. To disable a trust anchor file shipped in /usr/lib/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/ it
is sufficient to provide an identically-named file in /etc/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/ or /run/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/ that is either empty or
a symlink to /dev/null ("masked").
Positive trust anchor files are simple text files resembling DNS zone files, as documented in RFC 1035, Section 5. One DS or DNSKEY
resource record may be listed per line. Empty lines and lines starting with a semicolon (";") are ignored and considered comments. A DS
resource record is specified like in the following example:
. IN DS 19036 8 2 49aac11d7b6f6446702e54a1607371607a1a41855200fd2ce1cdde32f24e8fb5
The first word specifies the domain, use "." for the root domain. The domain may be specified with or without trailing dot, which is
considered equivalent. The second word must be "IN" the third word "DS". The following words specify the key tag, signature algorithm,
digest algorithm, followed by the hex-encoded key fingerprint. See RFC 4034, Section 5 for details about the precise syntax and meaning
of these fields.
Alternatively, DNSKEY resource records may be used to define trust anchors, like in the following example:
. IN DNSKEY 257 3 8 AwEAAagAIKlVZrpC6Ia7gEzahOR+9W29euxhJhVVLOyQbSEW0O8gcCjFFVQUTf6v58fLjwBd0YI0EzrAcQqBGCzh/RStIoO8g0NfnfL2MTJRkxoXbfDaUeVPQuYEhg37NZWAJQ9VnMVDxP/VHL496M/QZxkjf5/Efucp2gaDX6RS6CXpoY68LsvPVjR0ZSwzz1apAzvN9dlzEheX7ICJBBtuA6G3LQpzW5hOA2hzCTMjJPJ8LbqF6dsV6DoBQzgul0sGIcGOYl7OyQdXfZ57relSQageu+ipAdTTJ25AsRTAoub8ONGcLmqrAmRLKBP1dfwhYB4N7knNnulqQxA+Uk1ihz0=
The first word specifies the domain again, the second word must be "IN", followed by "DNSKEY". The subsequent words encode the DNSKEY
flags, protocol and algorithm fields, followed by the key data encoded in Base64. See RFC 4034, Section 2 for details about the precise
syntax and meaning of these fields.
If multiple DS or DNSKEY records are defined for the same domain (possibly even in different trust anchor files), all keys are used and are
considered equivalent as base for DNSSEC proofs.
Note that systemd-resolved will automatically use a built-in trust anchor key for the Internet root domain if no positive trust anchors are
defined for the root domain. In most cases it is hence unnecessary to define an explicit key with trust anchor files. The built-in key is
disabled as soon as at least one trust anchor key for the root domain is defined in trust anchor files.
It is generally recommended to encode trust anchors in DS resource records, rather than DNSKEY resource records.
If a trust anchor specified via a DS record is found revoked it is automatically removed from the trust anchor database for the runtime.
See RFC 5011 for details about revoked trust anchors. Note that systemd-resolved will not update its trust anchor database from DNS
servers automatically. Instead, it is recommended to update the resolver software or update the new trust anchor via adding in new trust
The current DNSSEC trust anchor for the Internet's root domain is available at the IANA Trust Anchor and Keys page.
NEGATIVE TRUST ANCHORS
Negative trust anchors define domains where DNSSEC validation shall be turned off. Negative trust anchor files are found at the same
location as positive trust anchor files, and follow the same overriding rules. They are text files with the.negative suffix. Empty lines
and lines whose first character is ";" are ignored. Each line specifies one domain name which is the root of a DNS subtree where validation
shall be disabled.
Negative trust anchors are useful to support private DNS subtrees that are not referenced from the Internet DNS hierarchy, and not signed.
RFC 7646 for details on negative trust anchors.
If no negative trust anchor files are configured a built-in set of well-known private DNS zone domains is used as negative trust anchors.
It is also possibly to define per-interface negative trust anchors using the DNSSECNegativeTrustAnchors= setting in systemd.network(5)
systemd(1), systemd-resolved.service(8), resolved.conf(5), systemd.network(5)

The mighty ash (Fraxinus excelsior) which stands on the lawns to the front of Gordon Castle, in the Morayshire town of Fochabers, presents an imposing figure.
The trunk is of exceptional girth for this species, measuring a staggering 7.79 metres (25 feet 7 inches) in girth at 1m (3 feet 3 inches) above ground level. Above this, the girth becomes grossly exaggerated because of large swellings and limb bases, attaining 8.74 metres (28 feet 8 inches) at 1.5 metres (4 feet 11 inches) above ground.
The huge, stately canopy is equally impressive, with the massive limbs which form the framework of the crown reaching 28.5 metres (93 feet 6 inches) in height. The tree appears to have been pollarded many years ago, and displays a typically low-branching and multi-stemmed crown form.
As is typical with most old ash trees, the trunk is heavily decayed and largely hollow. It is a remarkable testament to the strength of its timber that the thin outer shell of sound wood is capable of supporting such a capacious canopy.
Ash as a species is relatively short-lived, with few trees exceeding 200 years before old age and decay set in. The Gordon Castle tree is clearly something of an exception, and is of considerable antiquity. The site has been a stronghold of the Gordon Clan since the 15th century, with the original castle of 1470 being replaced by the 4th Duke of Gordon in 1769. It is likely the tree dates from around this time.
Where to see the Gordon Castle Ash:
The entrance to Gordon Castle is located at the west end of the town of Fochabers, approximately 14.5km (9 miles) east of Elgin, Moray. The impressive entrance gates lie to the north of the A98 road at the war memorial, just at the entrance to the west end of the main street. The ash tree stands on the lawns to the north of the castle. Access available with permission.

Effectiveness of (R,Q) policies in one-warehouse multiretailer systems with deterministic demand and backlogging
Consider a distribution system with a central warehouse and multiple retailers. Customer demand arrives at each of the retailers continuously at a constant rate. The retailers replenish their inventories from the warehouse which in turn orders from an outside supplier with unlimited stock. There are economies of scale in replenishing the inventories at both the warehouse and the retail level. Stockouts at the retailers are backlogged. The system incurs holding and backorder costs. The objective is to minimize the long-run average total cost in the system. This paper studies the cost effectiveness of (R, Q) policies in the above system. Under an (R, Q) policy, each facility orders a fixed quantity Q from its supplier every time its inventory position reaches a reorder point R. It is shown that (R, Q) policies are at least 76% effective. Numerical examples are provided to further illustrate the cost effectiveness of (R, Q) policies.

Fuzz in Taiwan about French Fries with green patches at McDonald's
Don't eat lots of green or bitter tasting potatoes or potato products and you'll be perfectly fine! (Courtesy: NDSU)
Taiwan's health authorities will conduct stringent checks of potato suppliers after reports that French fries served at fast food restaurants were found with green patches.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) official Cheng Wei-chih (鄭維智) said that potatoes can turn green due to exposure to enough light. However, consuming a large amount of green potato can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea as it often contains a toxic chemical called solanine. No regulations regarding the maximum level of solanine are imposed yet, Cheng added.
To ease public concerns about food safety, fast food restaurants in Taipei and Tainan were checked for their potato wedges and no safety concerns were found, Cheng said. Moreover, Cheng urged that green potatoes shall not be sold from the upstream suppliers.
According to Cheng, food vendors which were found to either sell or use potatoes containing solanine can be fined around NT$30,000 (US$993.5) to NT$3 million based on the Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation.
The scoop of green-tinted potatoes was first posted online by a user of PTT, the largest terminal-based bulletin board system (BBS) in Taiwan. He wrote that his tongue felt weird when he was eating potato wedges at McDonald's and he found there was a green tint in the food.
McDonald's later responded that the company has adopted strict control measures requiring suppliers and workers to remove green potatoes. However, both McDonald's and KFC argued that the green color found in potatoes exposed to enough sunlight is chlorophyll and not poisonous.
Earlier, another case was reported as a consumer in Tainan complained he was served with potato wedges that had turned green at the Japanese fast-food chain Mos Burger.
PotatoPro's Take
This is what the North Dakota State University says on the safety of green potatoes:
Are green potatoes safe to eat?
Although chlorophyll is a natural plant pigment that is tasteless and harmless, the green of potato tubers should signal us to be aware of another substance that is forming inside tubers. This substance is known as solanine, and it forms when any part of a potato plant is exposed to light.
Solanine is a toxic substance that is produced naturally in potatoes and other plants to aid in resistance of insects and animals. Solanine is present in all parts of the potato plant, including the sprouts, roots, leaves, flowers and fruits.
Solanine has a bitter taste and can cause stomach symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea if you eat enough of it. If ingested in large amounts, it can cause illness or even death in extreme cases. Because of the bitter taste, most people do not eat enough to get sick. In addition, consumers always should avoid consuming sprouts.
Small tuber sprouts contain the highest levels of solanine to protect new growth and provide solanine to the growing plant. If tubers have sprouts, remove the sprouts prior to cooking and consumption.
McDonald's and KFC Statement
The statement by McDonald's and KFC that the green color found in potatoes exposed to enough sunlight is chlorophyll and not poisonous is rather disappointing.
Although the statement is true, it is misleading: the green colour is a clear indicator the potato has been exposed to light, an important indicator for the potential presence of increased levels of solanine.
Fastfood chains should make sure their french fries do not contain excessive amounts of green potato. Furthermore, would staff in the restaurant not be able to see the green colour if it is extreme?
The Bottom line:
 - Avoid eating eating lots of green potatoes
 - Do not eat potatoes or potato products that taste bitter or cause a burning sensation in your mouth
and you'll be perfectly fine!

In issue #43, the story of which is titled "Christina's World", Jesse relates his visit to the museum to his mother, Christina L'Angell, who explains to him that when she first discovered the painting in a book, she thought Wyeth had painted her own life. In addition, the cover to issue #43 by artist Glenn Fabry is a variation of Christina's World, with Christina in the role of Anna Christina Olson. House Painting Thornton
The woman in the painting is Anna Christina Olson (3 May 1893 – 27 January 1968). She probably suffered from Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, a genetic polyneuropathy.[2][3] Wyeth was inspired to create the painting when he saw her crawling across a field while he was watching from a window in the house. He had a summer home in the area and was on friendly terms with Olson, using her and her younger brother as the subjects of paintings from 1940 to 1968. Olson was the inspiration and subject of the painting but she was not the primary model; Wyeth's wife Betsy posed as the torso of the painting. Olson was 55 at the time that Wyeth created the work.[4]
Exterior paint prep projects often involve multi-story work. This means you're going to need a ladder or even a scaffold to boost your reach while supporting you safely. Setting up a ladder or scaffold outside is trickier than an interior application. This is because you'll need to take the stability of the ground into account. A ladder which stands steady on a concrete driveway may sink into soft dirt as soon as you put your weight onto it. Or even worse: that ladder may not move at all until you're 10 feet or more in the air.

What Is Amethyst Agate Made Of?
Amethyst Agate is primarily comprised of Amethyst Quartz and Agate
Agate is a member of the Chalcedony group of stones, which is a member of the large Quartz family.
All types of Quartz are composed from silica (otherwise known as silicon dioxide), but differ due to their crystal structures: one form of Quartz is Amethyst, which is included in this particular form of Agate.
What Does Chalcedony Mean?
Chalcedony gems such as Agate are microcrystalline in structure, which means you can't see the crystals inside the stone.
Amethyst Quartz, however, can be observed in crystal form as it is not a form of Chalcedony.
Agate is generally distinguished from other types of Chalcedony due to its banded patterns and translucency: for example, Jaspers tend to be opaque and you cannot see through them if you shine a light through them.
Other types of Chalcedony gemstones include Jasper, Carnelian, and Chrysoprase.
What Is Lavender Amethyst?
Lavender Amethyst is a term used to describe the paler, lilac variety of Amethyst, which tends to come in deep violet varieties.
Other Types Of Agate
Agate comprises a diverse group of stones which can come in many colours and patterns.
Examples include Moss Agate, which demonstrates moss-like patterns, and Cherry Blossom Agate, which displays patterns that look like the flowers of the Cherry Blossom tree.
Eye Agate is a prized form of Agate which displays concentric circles resembling eyes.
Where Does Agate Come From?
Agate in its various forms can be found all over the globe.
This particular piece was sourced from India
Agate History
Agate was first recorded as being discovered in Sicily, near the River Achates, from which it gained its name.
It has been found in many archaeological sites, including in Greece where Agate carvings date back to the Bronze Age.
Agate Crystal Healing Properties
Agate is a renowned stone in the crystal healing world and is useful for bringing harmony, stability, and balance to one's life.
This type of stone comes in many different forms, yet all forms of Agate tend to have a soothing, positive energy which serves to stabilise the body and mind of its user.
Agate Chakras
As Agates are so varied in colour, they tend to resonate with all chakras.
Brown Agates, of which this piece displays elements, resonate with the Root Chakra due to their earthy colouring and thus offer protection and grounding to their users.
Amethyst Agate tends to display light purple, blue, and white tones, and thus can connect to the higher chakras and higher levels of consciousness.
Amethyst Chakras
Amethyst resonates strongly with the Third Eye Chakra and the Crown Chakra, the two highest chakras.
Strongly associated with wisdom, intellect, and creativity, Amethyst is often used to gain inspiration, focus, and clarity of mind, as well as to connect to psychic energies.
Lavender Amethyst also exudes a softer, gentler energy than darker varieties of Amethyst.
Unique Metaphysical Properties Of Amethyst Agate
Consequently, Amethyst Agate combines the best metaphysical properties of Amethyst and Agate.
This stone is very grounding and stabilising, but also inspires spirituality and connection to higher planes of consciousness.
Amethyst Agate, above all, is believed to inspire a sense of calm and peace in its user.
How Hard Is Agate?
Measuring 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, this mineral is relatively hard and durable and resistant to scratching, but care should still be taken not to damage the crystal surface.

Scottish inventor George Bennie had a dream. Where trains couldn't link destinations separated by water, grand railways would stretch through the skies, guiding propeller-powered planes from city to city.
Technically, the Bennie Railplane isn't actually a monorail; to the contrary, it requires both a top and bottom rail to guide its propeller-powered planes. But like a monorail, the Railplane was meant to be a transit system deliberately separated from the ground-based one. Feeling that carrying freight and passengers along the same rails was inefficient, Bennie proposed these suspended rails that would carry passenger-only planes. He also thought it would be a brilliant way to carry passengers across the English Channel, making commutes from London to Paris fast and easy.
Bennie constructed a protype rail in Milngavie near Glasgow, in 1930. The 130-yard track wasn't long enough to allow the Railplane to achieve its optimal speed of 150 miles per hour, instead only allowing for 50 miles per hour. Despite this, the track was met with much acclaim, and Bennie, who financed the original track himself, hoped to secure funding for a larger project. Unfortunately, Bennie went bankrupt in 1937, and his Railplane dreams were shattered. The track was scrapped in 1956, a year before Bennie's death.

Tk_BackgroundError - report Tcl error that occurred in background processing
This procedure is typically invoked when a Tcl error occurs during ''background processing'' such as executing a Tcl command in response to a button press or menu entry invocation. When such an error occurs, the error condition is reported to Tk or to a widget or some other C code, and there is not usually any obvious way for that code to report the error to the user. In these cases the code calls Tk_BackgroundError with an interp argument identifying the interpreter in which the error occurred. Tk_BackgroundError attempts to invoke the tkerror Tcl command to report the error in an application-specific fashion. If no tkerror command exists, or if it returns with an error condition, then Tk_BackgroundError reports the error itself by printing a message on the standard error file.
Tk_BackgroundError does not invoke tkerror immediately (in some cases this could interfere with scripts that are in process at the time the error occurred). Instead, it invokes tkerror later as an idle callback. Tk_BackgroundError saves the values of the errorInfo and errorCode variables and restores these values just before invoking tkerror.
It is possible for many background errors to accumulate before tkerror is invoked. When this happens, each of the errors is processed in order. However, if tkerror returns a break exception, then all remaining error reports for the interpreter are skipped.

Considering the Diagram and Design Research
ResumoWhile there has been much written on the role of the drawing in architecture as aform of re-presentation and reflective practice, this paper argues that the diagram asa specific graphic type, is an essential generative component of design research andcentral to claims for innovation or the production of new knowledge throughcontemporary design, yet not understood in the context of design research moregenerally. As an abstract and highly idiosyncratic form of notation, the diagramuniquely situates innovation within visual forms of enquiry. This paper speculates onhow diagrams communicate, both internally to the discipline and externally to newextra-disciplinary research fields as a function of innovation, and in this sense, whatwork in terms of design research they do.Keywords: Architecture, diagram, Innovation, design research, representation

Design forecasting: a method for performing DFX analyses in complex product design
Design Forecasting is modeling methodology for performing DFX analyses such as Life Cycle Assessment and the Modified Westinghouse Method earlier in the design of automobiles and other complex products. Specifically, Design Forecasting uses probabilistic design methods to supplement DFX analyses in a systematic, yet flexible, manner that reduces data collection ambiguity and effort for the design team. In addition, the methodology uses scenario analyses to evaluate potential design decisions or alternatives. Finally, the methodology allows for rigorous review, improvement, and customization of individual, underlying models. In this dissertation, Design Forecasting is developed, illustrated, and validated using two automotive case studies. The first is a material substitution case study used to evaluate Design for Environment metrics for a Ford C-class sedan. The second case study evaluates Design for Assembly metrics for the washer and wiper systems on the same C-class sedan. The research presented in this dissertation is significant because it defines a previously informal or even nonexistent process within design decision-making, and provides a sound framework for future, scholarly research.

Defining programs
Programs are managed from the "Workspace" area on the left of the Workbench main window. To work with programs, activate the workspace area and select the "Programs" tab in it.
Here you can declare an manage the programs and User Defined Function Blocks (UDFBs) of your application. The workspace shows the list of all programs and UDFBs, initially sorted by alphabetic order.
Creating programs
Press this button in the toolbar for creating a new program. You have to select its language at this time. The programming language of a program can be changed later by converting the program. You can also declare a child program for a selected SFC program.
When you create a program or UDFB, you have to enter its properties. A wizard guides you for defining:
- the identification and main attributes of the program
- its advanced parameters for its execution at runtime
- its description
The same box can be used later to rename a program, change its properties and its description.
The box also includes a wizard for defining/arranging input and output parameters in case of a UDFB or sub-program
The program property box can also be used for protecting the program against editing.
Programs must have unique names. The name cannot be a reserved keyword of the programming languages and cannot have the same name as a standard or "C" function or function block. A variable should not have the same name as a declared variable The name of a program should begin by a letter or an underscore ("_") mark, followed by letters, digits or underscore marks. It is not allowed to put two consecutive underscores within a name. Naming is case insensitive. Two names with different cases are considered as the same.
Opening programs
Press Enter or double click on a program to open it with the appropriate editor. An open program cannot be renamed or deleted.
Copying programs
Use the "File / Copy" command for duplicating the selected program. Copy cannot be used for erasing an existing program. You must enter a new name for the destination of the copy.
Arranging programs in folder
Default workspace shows all programs in alphabetic order. You can freely arrange them in a tree by creating folders. Use the "New folder" command in the right-click popup menu to create a new folder. Simply click on its name to rename it. You can create several levels of folders.
Then, simply drag programs in folders to re-arrange the tree. Programs, sub-programs and UDFBs can be put together in the same folder. Within a folder, all items are sorted in alphabetic order.
Defining the execution sequence
Use the "Cycle" command in the context menu to define the execution order of various programs in a seperate box. The box shows the list of the main programs, as they will be executed in runtime cycles. You can:
- use the "Move" buttons to change the order of the programs within the cycle.
- use the "Select" buttons to specify if the program must be called in the cycle. Unselected programs are not kept at compiling time, and are shown with a "red cross" icon in the workspace.
- use the "Increase/Decrease" buttons when the "Period" or "Phase" column is selected to change the scheduling of a program. This enables you to define "slow" programs that are not called on every cycle. See the "Program advanced properties" for further details.

Step 1: Design the actuator you have always wanted.
Step 2: Enter the specifications
You will have to manipulate the gap height parameter to find the gap height that gives the best flux density (least power) while not exceeding whatever spatial limitations you might have. As you play with this, you will not that the equations break if you choose this parameter unusually low or high.
Step 3: Machine the stator and bobbin
A couple of tips on this step. Machining a deep pocket in Iron (or soft steel) for the stator is a pain. As a alternative, you may machine a cylinder and a disc. Place the cylinder on a hot plate and the disc in ice water. After the cylinder is at 500 oF and the disc at 30 oF, slam them together using an arbor press (exciting). The bobbin should be made out of aluminum or plastic. Be careful while assembling the magnet and flux puck into the stator cup. It is recommended to machine a guide for the magnet and puck so as to avoid losing digits.
Step 4: Wind bobbin
Wind the magnet wire onto the bobbin. With either a lathe or a bobbin winding machine. Try to keep relatively constant tension on the wire as you wind the coil.
Wrap electrical tape around the finished windings or pot in epoxy.


Student Journal
Purpose of the Journal Entries
Every excellent lawyer is a self-reflective practitioner. A self-reflective practitioner is one who develops techniques for consciously learning from his or her experiences. A self-reflective practitioner plans each task to be performed prior to acting, and then reflects upon the execution of the task after the task is performed to consider what worked best, what did not work as well as expected, and what he or she would do differently the next time. As one tool to aid you in developing into a self-reflective practitioner, you will be keeping a journal of your experiences in the Criminal Justice Clinic. Writing about your work will encourage deeper and more detailed reflections.
The journal you keep in this course will serve a number of different functions:
 1. It will be a tool for you to record your assignments and to reflect upon what you have learned from the work in a concrete form;
 2. It will provide you with a systematic way to reflect on and analyze your experiences by pushing you to examine critically and in depth your performance, thoughts, and feelings;
 3. It will provide you and me with data for discussion of topics central to the course;
 4. It will relieve stress; and
 5. It will enhance your development into a reflective practitioner.
Your journal should not be primarily an account of your activitiesthe time sheets you will be preparing will adequately capture this type of information. Rather, you should record what you are thinking and feeling about your experiences with clients, the criminal justice system, the lawyers you work with in the Public Defender Office, opposing counsel, reading assignments for the seminars, concepts, and skills under study in the course. There are a few requirements for the content of your journal entries designed to help the entries assist your learning over the course of the semester.
The journals will be confidential between you and the supervising faculty member. Occasionally, the supervising faculty member may ask a student's permission to refer to a journal entry in one of the seminar classes or permission from several students to compile some entries for a class discussion on a shared topic. If reference is made to a journal entry, it will only be done after permission is sought and granted in advance and privately, and each student will always have the absolute authority to decline.
Number of Journal Entries Required and Due Dates
Over the course of the semester, you are required to submit at least thirteen (13) journal entries. You should complete at least one (1) journal entry per week for the first twelve (12) weeks of the class, and you will do a final wrap-up journal entry reflecting on the prior entries for the last week of classes. Each journal entry should be the equivalent of at least two double-spaced, typed written pages in length. Journal entries for each week are due on or before Sunday noon, and each entry will be returned to you with comments within one week of my receipt of the journal entry. You may send the journal entry to your faculty member via e-mail, or leave a copy of it under the faculty member's office door at the law school.
The point of the journal entries is to think on paper. Therefore, do not worry too much about spelling, punctuation, or grammar. You should use language that feels natural and expresses your personal voice and style. Do not try to write as you think a lawyer might. Please Turn in Your Journals On or Before the Weekly Deadline, and Do Not Fall Behind In Turning In Your Journals.
Content of the Journal Entries and Format
Throughout the semester you will submit journal entries concerning your reflections on your work, interactions with others, experiences, and what you are learning. While most of your entries will be about whatever you choose to write about concerning your experiences, by the end of the thirteenth week of the semester you must have completed a separate entry on each of the following subjects. A suggested completion date for each topic is included:
 1. Critique a performance by a lawyer, either a defense lawyer, prosecutor, or judge, stating what you observed that was good, what needs improvement, and why. (End of third week.)
 2. Discuss what you are learning about how to learn from experience. How do you learn best? What facilitates your learning? What inhibits your learning? (End of fourth week.)
 3. What are your perceptions or feelings about the criminal justice system? (End of sixth week.)
 4. How does your work in the Criminal Justice Clinic fit into your future plans? What have you learned that will help you to make decisions about future employment? How do you see applying what you are learning to your future endeavors? Is your learning transferable to other settings? How might this best be accomplished? (End of the eighth week.)
 5. Identify an ethical quandary or decision that occurred during the semester, explain the issue, how it was resolved, and whether you think the resolution was proper and why. (End of the tenth week.)
 6. Critique a performance of yourself. Discuss your planning and execution of the task. What do you think was good, what do you think needs improvement, and what would you do differently? (End of twelfth week.)
The format of each entry has to include at least four (4) paragraphs of at least five (5) sentences each.
Paragraph 1: Identify the topic. This should include the "who, what, when, where, why, and how' part of the entry. If you are selecting one of the above topics for the entry, such as a critique of another's performance, identify who you are critiquing, what you are critiquing, when you observed the activity, where the activating took place, how the activity proceeded, and why a certain course of action was taken.
Paragraph 2: Discuss what you were thinking about the activity or topic at the time, and any thoughts you have about the activity upon further reflection.
Paragraph 3: Discuss what you were feeling about the activity and why. For example, if you are discussing an activity you engaged in, discuss how you felt. Remember not to confuse your thoughts with your feelings. For example, the sentence "I felt it was useful" describes your thoughts and not your feelings. Feelings include: fear, anxiety, nervousness, confidence, being relaxed, unhappy, happy, dissatisfied, etc.
Paragraph 4: This paragraph is the analytical discussion, and will often include how you plan to apply what you learned from the experience. If the subject of the entry is a critique, this paragraph would describe the strengths and weaknesses, why you think the aspects were strong or weak, and what you would do if confronted with a similar situation in the future. Be sure not to generalize, such as "Next time I would be better prepared." Instead, describe how you would prepare yourself better, such as what research you would do, practice you would engage in, etc.
Your final journal entry for the course should be a self-evaluation of your accumulated journal entries. To complete the self-evaluation, read through all your entries, then write an evaluation using the following topics as a guide: the quantity of entries (the minimum number is fourteen prior to this final entry), variety (you must have included at least six entries on the previously mentioned subjects), depth of discussion, interest (reflected in the tone and substance of the entries), and value to you the student.
If you have any questions about this requirement, please discuss them with the faculty member in class or privately.
Good luck!


Genes in the Environment
Genes in the Environment is a research programme which aims to develop a better understanding of how a plant's environment influences growth and development, through the regulation of and variation in the plants' genes.
By understanding key processes, such as how plants grow and shape themselves, control their flowering time and adapt to changing environmental conditions, we can help breed crops that are more resilient and productive in a wider range of growing conditions.
Crop plants are strongly influenced by changes in temperature, weather and other environmental factors. Variable growing conditions and extreme environments often cause crop failure and yield losses.
Climate change is causing increasingly unstable and variable environmental conditions, which makes growing crops to feed the world's expanding population more challenging. This can lead to unpredictable supplies of important food crops, volatile markets and food prices, and in some parts of the world social unrest and famine.
Improving our crop productivity and making our crops more resilient has never been more pressing or important.
Our research uses a wide range of plants in differing environments. To understand the role temperature plays in influencing plant growth and development we can look at plant growth both in controlled environments and in the field.
Research in Genes in the Environment uses a range of plants such as,
 - Key UK crop plants; brassica (including broccoli and oilseed rape) and wheat
 - Experimental model species including Arabidopsis, Capsella and Antirrhinum
Genes in the Environment is funded by the BBSRC.

Roberts Memorial United Methodist Church is the oldest black Methodist Church in Alexandria. Prior to 1830, the Black Methodist in Alexandria, Virginia was members of the white Trinity Methodist Church. By 1830, the Black Methodist established their own Church called Davis Chapel after their white Minister. After 1844, Davis Chapel Church renamed their Church to Roberts Chapel due to a split within the Methodist Church on the issue of slavery. The Church was located between two Black neighborhoods called the "Bottoms" and "Hayti."
Prior to the civil war, Roberts Chapel organized a Sabbath school and a secular school, that met at the church until Alexandria retrocedes to Virginia in 1847. After the civil war, the school reopened.
Roberts Chapel members were freed and enslaved people. This section will talk about some of their members and the impact they had on the history of Alexandria.

Langdon Bay, Kent
Langdon Bay is a bay in east Kent, England. It is two miles east of the town of Dover, and is named after the nearby villages of Langdon, East Langdon and West Langdon. The cliffs around it are known as the Langdon Cliffs, there is a prominent zig-zag path that leads from the cliff top to the beach, this is visible from the sea.
The bay is known for the Langdon Bay Hoard - a collection of Bronze Age scrap metal found nearby in 1974. This includes bronze axes of a French type and is thought to represent the cargo of a boat that was caught in a storm just after leaving the English coast, either jettisoned to lighten and save the boat or sunk with it (if there was a wreck, it is now lost). This demonstrates that cross-channel trade was already occurring in the Bronze Age, if not earlier. It is owned by the British Museum but on long-term loan and display in Dover Museum in Market Square, Dover.
Three searchlight batteries - known as the Langdon Lights - were built into the base of the bay's cliffs during World War II, so that any ship trying to enter the bay could be illuminated while it was checked, though one has been destroyed by a cliff fall.
The area above the cliffs is now a chalk downland nature reserve owned by the National Trust, looking down on Dover Harbour and the Channel, and centred around the 'Gateway to the White Cliffs' Visitor Centre. Large parts of this reserve, and of this section of clif ftop in general, is an SSSI, AONB and Heritage Coast. Another nearby historic site is the South Foreland Lighthouse, also an NT property.

**Cat Eye and Adaptive Lighting: Illuminating Special Conditions with Precision**
Chevrolet's Cat Eye design, renowned for its aesthetic allure, goes beyond mere visual appeal. One of its standout features lies in the ability to adapt its illumination to special driving conditions, ensuring optimal visibility and safety. In this article, we explore how the Cat Eye's adaptive lighting system navigates various challenging scenarios with precision.
**1. Dynamic Turn Signals:**
Cat Eye's adaptive lighting system often includes dynamic turn signals, enhancing visibility during turns or lane changes. The lights intuitively follow the direction of the vehicle's movement, alerting other road users to your intended actions. This feature is especially valuable in busy urban environments or on highways with multiple lanes.
**2. Auto-Leveling for Uneven Terrain:**
In off-road or uneven terrain conditions, the Cat Eye's adaptive lighting system incorporates auto-leveling technology. This ensures that the lights adjust to the vehicle's angle, providing consistent illumination of the road ahead. Auto-leveling contributes to a safer off-road driving experience by reducing blind spots and maintaining clear visibility.
**3. Adaptive Beam Control:**
To avoid dazzling oncoming drivers and ensure a focused beam on the road, Cat Eye's adaptive lighting system may include adaptive beam control. This technology adjusts the angle and range of the headlights based on factors such as vehicle speed, steering input, and environmental conditions. The result is a precisely controlled beam that optimizes visibility without causing discomfort to others.
**4. Weather-Responsive Lighting:**
In adverse weather conditions, such as heavy rain or snow, the Cat Eye's adaptive lighting system can respond dynamically. The lights may adjust their intensity and focus to cut through precipitation, providing a clear view of the road ahead. This adaptability enhances safety by optimizing visibility in challenging weather.
**5. Cornering Lights for Enhanced Curves:**
When navigating curves or tight corners, the Cat Eye's adaptive lighting system may activate cornering lights. These additional lights illuminate the path in the direction of the turn, enhancing peripheral visibility and reducing the risk of surprises in low-visibility scenarios. This feature is particularly beneficial during nighttime driving.
**6. Low-Speed Illumination:**
In low-speed driving scenarios, such as parking or maneuvering in tight spaces, the Cat Eye's adaptive lighting system may offer specialized low-speed illumination. This focused and controlled lighting helps drivers navigate confined spaces with precision, minimizing the risk of collisions or mishaps.
**7. Highway Mode for Extended Range:**
During highway driving, the adaptive lighting system may engage a specialized mode that extends the range of illumination. This enhances visibility for drivers at higher speeds, providing a clear view of the road ahead and potential obstacles in the distance. Highway mode contributes to a safer driving experience, especially during long-distance travel.
**8. User-Selectable Modes:**
Some Cat Eye models may offer user-selectable lighting modes, allowing drivers to customize the adaptive lighting system based on their preferences or specific driving conditions. This flexibility empowers drivers to tailor the illumination to suit their individual needs, enhancing the overall driving experience.
**Conclusion: Precision Illumination for Every Drive**
In conclusion, Chevrolet's Cat Eye design goes beyond aesthetics by incorporating an adaptive lighting system that excels in various driving conditions. Whether navigating turns, braving adverse weather, or cruising on the highway, the Cat Eye's precision illumination enhances safety and visibility. This seamless integration of style and functionality reinforces the Cat Eye's status as a beacon of innovation in automotive design.


Which is the most interesting stochastic process
Stochastic processes
If you have given a sequence of random variables X (t) that depend on a changing parameter t, you speak of a stochastic process. In general, t can run through any parameter space, but is often interpreted as time. This is why stochastic processes are also referred to as the dynamization of probability theory.
Formally, you describe a stochastic process as
X (t) can, for example, represent the price of a share at time t within a time period T. You can then differentiate between the following situations and classify the stochastic processes accordingly:
 - Discrete / continuous time observation
 For example, if you are interested in the daily closing prices, you have given a market value X (t) for every day t. T then stands for a discrete set of points in time and the process is called discrete-time.
 On the other hand, if T is an interval and if you are interested in every value of the stock within this interval, you are talking about continuous processes.
 - Discrete / continuous set of values
 If you assume for your process that X (t) can only assume many different values in a countable manner, the process is called discrete values; In the case of your share price, this is the case if you accept a cent as the smallest possible change. If, on the other hand, you assume a continuous course of X (t), in which the process can assume any value within an interval, then the process is called value-continuous.
 - Stochastic dependencies
 The stochastic dependencies of your process determine the expectations that you have for your process X (t) in t if you know the realizations up to (t-1). Then you can distinguish the following special processes:
 - In the Markov process, the distribution of X (t) at time t is only dependent on its realization at time (t-1); all previous realizations are irrelevant. You can also speak of a "short memory" process.
 - A martingale is a stochastic process in which the expected value of X (t) corresponds to its realization in (t-1):
 If X (t) is again your unknown share price at time t and is If your market value in the previous period, the expected losses and increases in value will offset each other and you do not expect any changes on average. You can also speak of fair play in this context.
 If the expected value of X (t) is greater than the known realization in (t-1), i.e. if you expect price gains, your price development is a submartingale; if your expected value in t is below the realization in (t-1), i.e. if you expect exchange rate losses, your process is called supermartingale.
In contrast to the time series analysis, which tries to explain the realizations of the X (t) through models, you consider the dynamic behavior of the random variables over time in the stochastic processes.

PATIO SLIDING DOOR VS WINTER COLD
COLD, FROST, ICE OR CONDENSATION
Through a process called convection, warm air will always move toward colder air, meaning that during the winter the air inside your home is always trying to escape the house and move toward the cold air outside. Warm air also expands, and therefore has the capacity to hold more moisture than cold air — moisture that is picked up naturally from inside your house. As the air cools, it contracts and loses some of its capacity, so the moisture is given off to cooler surrounding surfaces… YOUR SLIDING PATIO DOOR.
Learn more with Understanding Condensation (PDF)
1. High Humidity
Reduce the setting on your humidistat to 20-30° instead of 40-50°. Increase setting slightly if static electricity becomes a problem.
2. High Temperatures
The warmer the air, the more moisture it holds. Keeping your home slightly cooler in winter will reduce condensation and frost.
3. Thermopane Seal Lost
If the atmosphere between your panes of glass has been compromised, clarity and resistance to temperature will be negatively affected. Glass replacement is necessary.
4. Air Circulation
Poor air circulation near interior glass surface.
5. Northern Exposure
Southern exposure enjoys warm solar gain in winter. An obstruction on your patio could block sunshine.
6. Aluminum Frame
Wood is a better insulator than aluminum.
7. Door Seal
Weatherstripping is worn or missing. Door may be out of alignment allowing a draft. Door does not lock tightly.
8. Nothing's Wrong
Even when all is right the 50+ square feet of patio door glass is colder in the winter than your walls. And, since cold air is heavier than warm air, the temperature at the floor near the door will be colder as the air naturally cascades down the glass. This seems to be noticed more in kitchen areas where owners can often be found in bare feet or wearing slippers.

Robotic motion planning requires configuration space exploration. In high-dimensional configuration spaces, a complete exploration is computationally intractable. To devise practical motion planning algorithms in such high-dimensional spaces, computational resources have to be expended in proportion to the local complexity of a configuration space region. We propose a novel motion planning approach that addresses this problem by building an incremental, approximate model of configuration space. The information contained in this model is used to direct computational resources to difficult regions. This effectively addresses the narrow passage problem by adapting the sampling density to the complexity of that region. Each sample of configuration space is guaranteed to maximally improve the accuracy of the model, given the available information. Experimental results indicate that this approach to motion planning results in a significant decrease in the computational time necessary for successful motion planning.

Before AD 1825
Moccasins of this type have raw hide soles and tanned skin uppers. The soles are often made of worn-out parfleches (storage bags), with the painted design placed inside. This pair is highly decorated with beads, particularly blue ones. They are a valuable type, known as 'pony' beads, made by blowing a thin cane of glass, breaking the cane and then rolling and polishing the finished product. Most beads in the early nineteenth century were made in Venice. At this time blue beads were considered 'like gold' by explorers such as Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, who crossed the continent in 1804-6.
Traditionally women would devote much of their lives to making moccasins. During one woman's life-time, she might make thousands of pairs. Moccasins were much traded, often unfinished so that they could be fitted to the purchaser's feet.

Constructing a Low Energy Transfer Between Jovian Moons
292, pp. 129-145, 2002
There has recently been considerable interest in sending a spacecraft to orbit Europa, the smallest
of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. The trajectory design involved in ecting a capture by Europa
presents formidable challenges to traditional conic analysis since the regimes of motion involved depend heavily on three-body dynamics. New three-body perspectives are required to design successful
and earthcient missions which take full advantage of the natural dynamics. Not only does a three-body
approach provide low-fuel trajectories, but it also increases the exibility and versatility of missions.
We apply this approach to design a new mission concept wherein a spacecraft
moons, orbiting each for a desired duration in a temporary capture orbit. We call this concept the
"Petit Grand Tour."
For this application, we apply dynamical systems techniques developed in a previous paper to
design a Europa capture orbit. We show how it is possible, using a gravitional boost from Ganymede,
to go from a jovicentric orbit beyond the orbit of Ganymede to a ballistic capture orbit around
Europa. The main new technical result is the employment of dynamical channels in the phase space
-- tubes in the energy surface which naturally link the vicinity of Ganymede to the vicinity of Europa.
The transfer Delta-V necessary to jump from one moon to another is less than half that required by a
standard Hohmann transfer.

Final Cut Pro: What is a Multiclip?
Final Cut Pro has had a multiclip function since its early inception, and while there were some problems with the system initially, the multiclip function works just as well as any other part of the Final Cut Pro creation. Some of the functions of a multiclip may not be familiar to the average user, but so long as you are familiar with the basic principle of cut and paste, you should be able to create a decent multiclip.
Multiclip Functions
Multiclip uses more than one camera to produce a series of clips, which are then played at the same time. It is possible to play more than 100 clips together using multiclip, although it is more reasonable to use only three or four tracks. Rather than layering the clips over each other, as you would with two cameras focused upon a single point, the user needs to play the pictures simultaneously. This can be done very simply using Final Cut Pro.
Preparing the Clips
In order to make the clips work in the program, you will need to ensure that they have the same ratios and bits in their pictures, and that there is no conflict between the types of movie file that they have been saved under. If necessary, edit all of the files before you start using multiclip, and save them in the same system under one folder. This will make them easy to access when you come to using them.
Pick One Point
You need to pick one point in your clips which is the same in each different angle. It is this point which will help you to create the synchronicity, which ensures that your multiclip film works as a piece of art. You can use a camera flash, an animal or a color which appears to focus all of your clips. Use an In or Out marker to indicate the place where you have located this one point.
Using the Multiclip Dialog Box
The first place that you should look when you open multiclip is the dialog box. This box will help you to make the multiclips, and allow you to tell your Final Cut Pro software how you want the clips to be synchronized. You can synchronize your clips in one of three ways: by using the In marker as the starting point, the Out Marker, or by using the timecode. This will ensure that all of your clips play at the same rate.
Check Your Pictures Using Multiclip
You can check your pictures using the viewer window. Run all of your clips together, so that you can ensure that they run at the same time. You should ensure that the timelines for each event match up, and if you spot any particular problems with your timeline, remove the multiclips from the viewer, and take them back to the browser or timeline windows.

What is a Pay Code?
A pay code is a four digit code that allows you to identify one payroll from another. If you need to add a new pay code to your portal, please use the following pointers to help you create a pay code(s) that is useful to you.
A pay code
 1. Must contain four characters
 2. Must be alphanumeric (i.e. can contain only letters and/or numbers)
 3. Is case sensitive
If you need to add a payroll, then set the pay code to the next number in the sequence e.g. P00x.
 1. P001 for monthly payrolls
 2. P002 for weekly payrolls
 3. P003 for temporary/casual staff
 4. P004 for permanent staff
 5. P005 – office based in London
 6. P006 – office based in Manchester
You will need to input this code when setting up your payroll and uploading each payroll file.
The pay code is referred to in the NOW: File Format as the PAYCODE.

I recently blogged that you can now play Angry Birds in your web browser. This opens up all sorts of video analysis possibilities for physics lessons and assessment. Students can easily make their own videos or you can pre-record your own. Videos can be recorded using Jing, Screencast-O-Matic, or Camtasia Studio. Analysis can be done in Logger Pro or Tracker.
Here are some possible investigations to carry out (shared by Michael Magnuson on the WNYPTA email list):
1. Make a reasonable estimate for the size of an angry bird, and determine the value of g in Angry Bird World. Why would the game designer want to have g be different than 9.8 m/s²? Download Angry Birds video.
2. Does the blue angry bird conserve momentum during its split into three? Download Red and Blue Birds video.
3. Does the white bird conserve momentum when it drops its bomb? Why would the game designer want the white bird to drop its bomb the way that it does? Download White Bird video.
4. Describe in detail how the yellow bird changes velocity. You will need to analyze more than one flight path to answer this question. Download Yellow Birds video.
5. Shoot an angry bird so that it bounces off one of the blocks. Determine the coefficient of restitution and the mass of the angry bird. Download Red Birds and Falling Block video.
You can download each video using the links above or get them all here.

I need to calculate the following
$$20^{_PHONE_} \mod 251$$
I am struggling with that because $251$ is a prime number, so I can't simplify anything and I don't have a clue how to go on. Moreover how do I figure out the period of $[20]_{251}$? Any suggestions, remarks, nudges in the right direction are very appreciated.

Hint: Use Fermat's Little Theorem to find the period of $[20]_{251}$. Then, use this to simplify $20^{_PHONE_}$.

...and then you're left with $20^{67} \bmod 251$. – Fly by Night Jan 28 '13 at 18:27
Then do some exponentiation by squaring. – Joe Z. Jan 28 '13 at 18:30
How does that help? – Fly by Night Jan 28 '13 at 18:37
If you square 20 six times, then multiply by 400 and then by 20, taking the factor mod 251 each time, you will have calculated $20^{67}$ modulo 251. – Joe Z. Jan 28 '13 at 19:00
If you do not know the little theorem, a painful but -I thinkstill plausible method is to observe that $2^{10} = 1024 \equiv 20$, and $10^3 = 1000 \equiv -4$. Then, we may proceed like this:
$20^{_PHONE_} = 2^{_PHONE_}10^{_PHONE_} = 2^{123456\times 10 + 7}10^{411522\times 3 + 1} = 1280\times 1024^{123456}1000^{411522} \equiv 1280\times 20^{123456}4^{411522}$.
Observe that after one pass, we are still left with the powers of $2$ and the powers of $20$ that we can handle with the same equivalences above.
We still have to make some calculations obviously (divisions etc), but it is at least not as hopeless as before.

Many of these tigers are kept in captivity or chained in cages of a zoo.
But there is a peculiar Buddhist temple in Thailand called the Tiger Temple, or Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua.
This temple in Kanchanaburi, Thailand has become a popular tourist destination for its uniqueness.
Tiger with a Buddhist Monk in Thailand
The tigers in this temple live peacefully with Buddhist monks.
The Buddhist monks feed them, tend to them and protect them from external dangers.
The monks believe that the tigers are reincarnations of ancient monks.
Hence, they are convinced of the fact that these tigers won't harm humans.
The monks encourage tourists to click intimate pictures with tigers.
Here, we can see a woman caressing a tiger on her lap.
A woman caresses a tiger
The cute tigers seem to be accustomed to human interaction.
Rather than acting like wild animals, they calmly allow humans to get rub their belly!
Man and Tiger in playful mood.
However, humans can interact with the tigers only for a couple of hours in a day.
These tigers are allowed to rest, roam and play with each other for most part of the day.
Many locals and foreigners volunteer to monitor the tigers and take care of the temple.
Tigers are huge creatures with an enormous appetite!
Hence, many people work together to ensure that these tigers are taken care of properly.
Income from tourists is used for the up-keep of the tiger temple.
The monks and volunteers share a deep sense of compassion towards these tigers.
While these tigers may never be able to go back to the wild, this tiger temple ensures that these beautiful creatures never fall prey to hunters and poachers.
This an an extraordinary reserve which defies all rules of the wild.
But the Thai monks at the tiger temple assert that they have dedicated their whole life for the conservation and protection of tigers.
Major efforts need to be taken for the conservation of this beautiful animal.
The world needs takes steps to improve the population of tigers.

Search for an Introduced Marine Species
Species search by name or number:
Enter search criteria in the above textbox. Text searches will find the text anywhere in the name. Numbers will need to be exact for a match to be found.
Search for introductions by invasion status:
This search provides a list of all species according to their invasive status in Australia, with each invasion status described below.
Non-native - indicates that the species has been identified and verified as being introduced to Australia from a source beyond Australia's marine environment.
Cryptogenic - indicates that the species is introduced but has an unknown origin or unclear status. For example, the species has not yet been confirmed as established or the taxonomic knowledge is unavailable to conclusively identify the species.
Native - indicates the species is native or indigenous to Australia or a region of Australia.
Absent - indicates that the species is verified as not being present in Australia.
Any particular species may fall into one or more of these categories. This occurs as species may be classified differently in different regions of Australia, for example non-native in one region but cryptogenic in another.
Search for introductions by distribution:
This search provides a list of all species introduced marine species based on their distribution. There are two searches available: species introduced into Australian states/territories; and species introduced into other areas of the world. The search will also include species that have been recorded as introduced, but eradicated.

Is Garlic Safe During Pregnancy?
Pregnant women will want to limit how much garlic they eat for a number of reasons, including the fact that it can act as a blood thinner if it is consumed in large amounts. There have been numerous studies done on the affects of garlic on pregnant women, though none of them yielded any noteworthy results.
As long as garlic is not consumed in extremely high amounts, pregnant women should be okay with eating it once in a while. Garlic does however have some components in it that can pass through the placenta and into the amniotic fluid, which could cause problems with the birth or baby.
