The etymology of the name Philéole
What does the name Philéole mean and where does this name and our slogan "Make the wind your friend" come from?
Philéole is the contraction of two words that come from ancient Greek. The first is Phil, from the ancient Greek φίλος, phílos, which means "friend, person who loves". The second is Eole. In Greek mythology, Aeolus, Αἴολος, Aíolos, is the master and steward of the winds.
Make wind your friend!
History of Philéole
The history and creation of Philéole; where we got the idea to produce a mini wind turbine.
Philéole arose from the desire to use the force of the wind with bio-based and ecological means. The wind is everywhere around us, with different forces, stable or turbulent. It is present in all countries and in all types of environment; whether it is an energetically isolated environment to a hyper-connected urban environment, whether it is a marine or terrestrial environment.
In 2014, after several months of development, studies, models and prototypes, the concept of the Philéole mini wind turbine emerged. The mini wind turbine is tested in a wind tunnel at the University of Liège, in the Vrije University of Brussels and at the Von Karman institute so that Philéole can present a successful product: a bio sourced wind turbine for independent and renewable, urban energy production. and domestic, respectful of nature, biodegradable and recyclable.
Initially, Philéole focused on the production of the mini nautical wind turbine: ready to serve sailors in France and around the world, the Philéole mini nautical wind turbine attached to the top of the mast of the boat, in full wind, collects energy whatever the wind direction at sea, at anchor, in winter.
A few months later, Philéole decided to expand the possibilities of using its mini wind turbine. With its patents for Europe and the world, the Philéole mini wind turbine is now a unique product in a limitless market; ready to collect energy from the roofs of country houses and tiny houses, city buildings, or any place where the wind blows.
Every day, the Philéole team seeks to improve the performance and design of its vertical wind turbine to offer a unique and successful product.
Our main goals
The primary goal of Philéole is energy independence and ecology. By offering a unique product, Philéole wishes to take advantage of the elements of nature for independence in the production and consumption of energy. To push the ecological side further, Philéole decides to produce its mini wind turbine out of corn starch and aluminum; two elements that are either biodegradable or recyclable.
Most wind turbines available on the market pick up winds that blow at high altitude and require extensive earthworks. Today, Philéole focuses on the energies developed by light airs, turbulences and currents. Philéole wishes to use this energy and make it available to sites located outside the distribution networks.

We love Thai food! Then again, who doesn't?
But much like Chinese food, there are serious differences between real Thai food, and the Thai food served in the West. The names are similar, but Western Thai food has been toned down and adjusted to Western palates. As a result, real Thai food can be a bit of a shock to first-time travelers to Thailand.
If you're planning a delicious lunch or dinner on a nice Thai restaurant, here are a few reality checks that might help you cope with the difference–and dig right into one of the most delicious cuisines on the planet!
Myth 1: All Thai food is great for vegetarians.
Fact: Some Thai dishes contain small amounts of meat.
This is one of the most persistent and erroneous ideas that the West has about Thai food. You might think going to Thailand is a perfect opportunity to go vegetarian, but you should think thoroughly before doing it.
The notion that most Thai food are vegetarian-friendly probably arises from its delicious vegetable dishes, and the fact that Thailand is a majority Buddhist country. It's true that most monks eat vegetarian diets, but in Thai Buddhism there is no proscription against laypeople eating meat. Animal ingredients are everywhere, from soup stock to fish sauce. Most dishes are prepared with a small portion of meat, with pork being the most common.
Good news is, the quantities of meat in Thai food are much smaller than your typical Western meal. The meat feels more like a flavor additive than a main ingredient. And of course, there also a LOT of Thai dishes that does not contain meet – which vegetarians can enjoy!
Myth 2: Thai food is really spicy.
Fact: It depends.
It's very rare that a dish in Thailand will melt your face right off. Thais use reasonable amounts of chili when cooking, and chili in various forms like powder, in vinegar, in fish sauce, or even fresh – is available as a condiment for you to spice things up just the way you want it. When preparing dishes that are notorious for being spicy–like som tam, or papaya salad. Thais themselves have variable tastes, which is why you won't find anything that's horrendously hot right off the wok.
If you want it hot, just say how you want it done. You'll probably have to defend your love of spicy food even then.
Myth 3: You eat Thai food with chopsticks.
Fact: Thais eat noodles with chopsticks, and everything else with spoon and fork.
Don't be offended if you sit down at a restaurant and are given a spoon and fork; that's actually what the Thais use themselves. Thais have been using utensils since the end of the nineteenth century, and prior to that, they did like in India and ate with their right hand. Sticky rice dishes is still eaten with the right hand, but that's about it.
To eat like the Thais, simply hold the spoon in your dominant hand and the fork in the other. Use the fork to push food unto the spoon, and eat with the spoon. Never stick anything with the fork, or use it to put food in your mouth: that's considered improper.
Thais use chopsticks only for noodle dishes, and they're considered a foreign utensil. Pad thai, even though it's a noodle dish, is considered enough of a Thai dish that it's eaten with a spoon and fork.
Myth 4: Thai street food is not safe.
Fact: Thai street food is among the safest in the world!
If you are traveling to Thailand, you need to throw away the stereotype that Thai street food is not safe. Because in fact, street food is a way of life in Thailand. There's nothing quite so Thai as to sit down on the curb and enjoy the hustle and bustle of a busy street stall.
What's more, Thai street food is among the safest and tastiest in the world. Vendors in general are very cautious with hygiene. You can tell that a given stall is trustworthy if you see many Thais eat there; chances are they are regulars, and they wouldn't come back if it made them sick.

Do you agree or disagree with these? Do you have questions or comments about Thai food? Let us know!

The purpose of this study was to validate the three dimensional model of classifying coping behavior. The three are: Encounter-Avoidance, Problem-Emotion, Behavior-Cognition Dimension. A set of questionnaires on coping behavior and psychological stress responses were administered, and 1 604 undergraduates and 1 296 adults completed them. Analyses of covariance structure were performed, and results indicated that the three dimensional model, with eight coping style, showed the highest goodness-of-fit statistics. Multiple regression analyses also indicated that Problem-Emotion and Behavior-Cognition dimensions were useful for predicting the coping effects on psychological stress responses. Therefore, the two dimensional model of Problem-Emotion and Behavior-Cognition, with four coping style, would be helpful for further investigation of coping behavior that would buffer psychological stress responses.

Long-term performance of activated carbon air cathodes with different diffusion layer porosities in microbial fuel cells
KAUST Grant NumberKUS-I1-003-13
MetadataShow full item record
AbstractActivated carbon (AC) air-cathodes are inexpensive and useful alternatives to Pt-catalyzed electrodes in microbial fuel cells (MFCs), but information is needed on their long-term stability for oxygen reduction. AC cathodes were constructed with diffusion layers (DLs) with two different porosities (30% and 70%) to evaluate the effects of increased oxygen transfer on power. The 70% DL cathode initially produced a maximum power density of 1214±123mW/m 2 (cathode projected surface area; 35±4W/m 3 based on liquid volume), but it decreased by 40% after 1 year to 734±18mW/m 2. The 30% DL cathode initially produced less power than the 70% DL cathode, but it only decreased by 22% after 1 year (from 1014±2mW/m 2 to 789±68mW/m 2). Electrochemical tests were used to examine the reasons for the degraded performance. Diffusion resistance in the cathode was found to be the primary component of the internal resistance, and it increased over time. Replacing the cathode after 1 year completely restored the original power densities. These results suggest that the degradation in cathode performance was due to clogging of the AC micropores. These findings show that AC is a cost-effective material for oxygen reduction that can still produce ~750mW/m 2 after 1 year. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

My idea would be to use a room, and create a self-protecting system to it. When visitors enter the room, they'd launch an airbag-like-balloon that would fill up, pushing the people away. This could be done maybe by using an industrial fan and a plastic bag or sails..
If it's not possible to use or to make a whole room, a smaller scale version of the smae idea would be to make a floor spot that when stepped on, would trigger an alarm, done with light and sound. Maybe using a simple pressure sensor..
I wan't to play with people's instincts and learned behavior. How do people behave and what is interaction anyway..


totally convex space
Totally convex spaces
Essentially, the totally convex spaces are what you get if you try to build an algebraic theory of Banach spaces.
Abstract definition
A totally convex space is a module for the monad on Set which sends a set XX to the closed unit ball of the Banach space 1(X)\ell^1(X).
This is an example of an algebraic theory (in the strong sense that it is bounded monadic) but not finitary, hence not a Lawvere theory. The free totally convex space on XX is the unit ball of the Banach space 1(X)\ell^1(X), and thus an operation in this theory is a formal sum xXa xx\sum_{x \in X} a_x x for a xa_x \in \mathbb{R} with the property that xX|a x|1\sum_{x \in X} {|a_x|} \le 1. The finiteness of this sum forces it to have only countably many non-zero terms, and thus it factors through an operation on \mathbb{N}. Hence there is a presentation of this theory with operations in 1()\ell^1(\mathbb{N}) (which is why the theory is bounded monadic). The corresponding identities are simply the substitution rules – namely that substituting a sum into another works as expected – and the reordering rules.
Concrete definition
A totally convex space is a set XX equipped with, for each infinite sequence (a 1,a 2,)(a_1, a_2, \ldots) of real numbers such that i|a i|1\sum_i {|a_i|} \leq 1, an operation from X X^{\mathbb{N}} to XX, written (x 1,x 2,) ia ix i(x_1,x_2,\ldots) \mapsto \sum_i a_i x_i, such that:
 1. Reordering: If σ\sigma is any permutation of \mathbb{N}, then ia ix i= ia σ(i)x σ(i)\sum_i a_i x_i = \sum_i a_{\sigma(i)} x_{\sigma(i)};
 2. Nullary substitution: If δ i\delta_i is the Kronecker delta at 00 (so δ i=0\delta_i = 0 normally, but δ 0=1\delta_0 = 1), then iδ ix i=x 0\sum_i \delta_i x_i = x_0;
 3. Binary substitution: If the functions π,ρ:\pi,\rho\colon \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N} express \mathbb{N} as its own product with itself (it is enough to pick one pair of functions and state this axiom only for it), then ia i( jb i,jx i,j)= ka π(k)b π(k),ρ(k)x π(k),ρ(k)\sum_i a_i (\sum_j b_{i,j} x_{i,j}) = \sum_k a_{\pi(k)} b_{\pi(k),\rho(k)} x_{\pi(k),\rho(k)}.
Of course, one would normally write the right-hand side of the last equation as i,ja ib i,jx i,j\sum_{i,j} a_i b_{i,j} x_{i,j}, but that is not technically an operation in the theory, except as mediated by π\pi and ρ\rho. A common choice for (π,ρ)(\pi,\rho) is the inverse of (i,j)(i+j+12)+j(i,j) \mapsto \big({i + j + 1 \atop 2}\big) + j, where for this expression to work we take 00 to be a natural number.
I haven't actually checked that this list is complete; but it's what I get if I take Andrew at his word that we need only substitution and reordering rules. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if nullary substitution is redundant, but right now I don't see how. —Toby
 1. A totally convex space is a pointed convex space. The operations of a convex space are encoded in the operations (r,1r,0,0,0,)(r, 1 - r, 0, 0, 0, \ldots) and the "point" comes from the operation (0,0,)(0, 0, \ldots). This functor preserves underlying sets and so has a left adjoint; thus any convex space can be "completed" to a totally convex space.
 2. The operations for this theory are commutative, hence the category of totally convex spaces is a closed symmetric monoidal category.
 1. Clearly, the closed unit ball BXB X of any Banach space XX is a totally convex space.
 2. Bizarrely, the open unit ball of a Banach space is a totally convex space. This is because if a sum, xBXa xx\sum_{x \in B X} a_x x for x|a x|1\sum_x {|a_x|} \leq 1, lies on the boundary of BXB X then every xx for which a x0a_x \ne 0 must have norm 11. Thus if the series only contains terms from the interior of BXB X, the sum remains in the interior. Hence the open unit ball is a subalgebra of the closed unit ball.
 3. Continuing, the quotient of the closed unit ball by the open unit ball is a totally convex space.
 4. In particular, the three-point space {1,0,1}\{-1,0,1\} is (assuming excluded middle) a totally convex space. The operations on this space are as follows:
 a jϵ j={1 ϵ j=sign(a j),|a j|=1 1 ϵ j=sign(a j),|a j|=1 0 otherwise \sum a_j \epsilon_j = \begin{cases} 1 & \epsilon_j = \operatorname{sign}(a_j), \sum {|a_j|} = 1 \\ -1 & \epsilon_j = -\operatorname{sign}(a_j), \sum {|a_j|} = 1 \\ 0 & \;\text{otherwise} \end{cases}
 5. Going back one step, (1,1)(-1,1) is a totally convex space. It is illuminating to describe this as a coequaliser of free totally convex spaces. Consider a functional f: 1()f \colon \ell^1(\mathbb{N}) \to \mathbb{R} which is bounded of norm 11 but does not achieve its norm; for example, let ff be represented by the sequence (12,23,34,)(\frac{1}{2},\frac{2}{3},\frac{3}{4},\ldots). Then for any xB 1()x \in B\ell^1(\mathbb{N}), f(x)(1,1)f(x) \in (-1,1). Thus (1,1)(-1,1) is the coequaliser of the inclusion kerf 1()\ker f \to \ell^1(\mathbb{N}) and the zero map kerf 1()\ker f \to \ell^1(\mathbb{N}).

This feature requires 1.0.22 of the Meeting Room 365 app (or later) to function.
We now allow all devices to adjust their brightness on a schedule, letting you configure a brightness level change (from 0, or dark, to 1, or full brightness) at any hour you choose.
This can be set in the Hardware tab of your display, under Brightness Schedule.
However, this might be a bit complicated, since you will be creating a schedule object that contains a list of hours, and the brightness setting you wish to apply.
This can also be set in the advanced configuration editor, or via CSV. The key for this feature is brightnessSchedule and the value is an object containing the hours and brightness levels (the display will set the brightness at least once to the specified value during the hour mentioned.
For the most common use-case, you can copy the following template:
{ "7": 1.0, "19": 0.1 }
In this example, the display would go full brightness at 7am, and back to 10% brightness at 7pm. You can adjust the 7 and 19 to any hour you like.
Note, when setting up this feature, you will only see brightness changes during the hours specified (if you set this example up at 1pm, you won't see a change until 7pm).
Setting a key in the advanced configuration editor
Visit the Advanced Configuration Editor from your display
Insert or Append a new key called brightnessSchedule
Set the value (right side) to { "7": 1.0, "19": 0.1 }

Leggatt and the captain are not so much related as they are symbolic representations of each other. According to Lionel Trilling:
the two young men are virtually the same person.
In literary terms, Leggatt is the captain's doppelganger, or his ghostly twin. In Freudian psychology, Leggatt is the "Id" (the emotional, secret desires) to the captain's "Ego" (the logical side which mediates the emotional). Remember, when the captain first sees Leggatt? He says:
He was complete but for the head. A headless corpse!
Leggatt is the headless version of the captain. The head is the logical; the body is the emotional. So, Leggatt is the side of the captain which he hides from the crew, his secret desires and fears.
The word "double" is used 19 times in the novella. Obviously, Leggatt is a mirror-image doppelganger who confesses that which the captain has wished to keep secret. The captain harbors the fugitive and dresses him like himself:
Later, he connotes the dark side of his double:
The Captain's ("Ego's") goal then is too conceal his Leggatt ("Id") from Captain Archibald, the "Superego," or moral construct that projects social values.

Chapman overcomes learning disability, wins scholarship
by Trevor Keiser
May 15, 2013
Actress Sigourney Weaver looks on as OHS senior Ross Chapman gives a speech after recieving a $10,000 scholarship.
"Never give up, never, never, never give up" was the famous quote by British Prime Minster Winston Churchill that helped give determination to Oxford High School Senior Ross Chapman to overcome his learning disability (LD).
After being held back in kindergarten a second time, teachers couldn't understand why Chapman wasn't reading very well and he couldn't understand how his peers could read sentences with what he called "dancing letters." The answer came in third grade when he found out he had a learning disability called "dyslexia."
"I cried my eyes out when he was diagnosed thinking what was going to happen," said his mother Nancy.
"From the moment I was diagnosed with my disability my mom told me that my brain works differently and I just need to find a way to figure out how my brain works differently," Ross said.
While he tried to figure out how his brain "worked differently," for reading he also found out he had two other LD's working against him, "dyscalculia," which hinders the ability to do math and "dysgraphia," whichhinders handwriting ability. In grade school Ross said his reading and mathematical skills were below grade level and despite his hard effort to read, there was very little progress.
Ross's "blessing in disguise" came the summer between fifth and sixth grade, when he started running with the high school cross country team and was misdiagnosed with a heart murmur at a physical. Due to the misdiagnosis the doctor told Ross he wasn't allowed to do any physical activity, so after getting bored watching television all day, he took his mom's advice. He went to the library and started getting books from the children's section.
"I went from Dr. Seuss books all the way to Tom Clancy books in one summer," he said. "I just pushed through. I can't really explain exactly what happened. I wanted to show the world I can do everything that everyone else can."
Even though he had become "friendlier" with his dyslexia and was learning how to continue making progress in his reading. Ross said the challenges of math followed him through his middle school years, where he was only working at a fourth grade level and tested at a third grade level in eighth grade. Nancy wondered if her son would ever be able to even work at McDonald's due to such a low math level. But just like his inability to read, Ross found motivation to push him to be able to do math.
The push came in the "No Child Left Behind Act," which was signed in 2001 by President George W. Bush. Because Ross was still in special education math he was given the choice of getting a high school completion certificate or a high school diploma.
"In order to get a diploma you can't be in a special ed class, that's part of 'No Child Left Behind,'" Nancy said. "I was OK with him getting a certificate and then going to Oakland Community College and I didn't even know that was going to happen with (a) third grade math (level.)"
However, a certificate wasn't good enough for Ross, he wanted to earn his diploma. His eighth grade teacher decided to do an experiment with him. She found out by giving Ross a calculator that he indeed could do math at an eighth grade level, which moved him up to algebra.
"I thought 'No Child Left Behind' was the devil when they were first making him go into the eighth grade math," Nancy said." I thought 'he is in third grade math, how do you push him like that?'"
"If it wasn't for that (No Child Left Behind)," Ross added. "I wouldn't have been in normal math and in pre-calculus right now."
When he entered high school, Ross said he also pushed to be in Advanced Placement (AP) classes because they didn't allow dyslexic or any kids with learning disabilities to take them because they thought they couldn't do it.
"My biology teacher, human anatomy teacher and (former) cross country coach Mr. (Ray) Sutherland was the only teacher at first who believed I could go into honors and AP courses," Ross said. In fact he was the one who placed me in the honors course without talking to the counselors."
Ross said his first honors course was honors chemistry, where he earned a B + and since has taken three AP courses and been successful.
Ross's determination not only helped him conquer his LD, but also landed him a $10,000 scholarship from Anne Ford and the National Center for Learning Disabilities.
"I felt amazed (that I won,) he said. "I couldn't believe it at first."
Ross was only one of two to receive the $10,000 scholarship and his winning 500 word essay was selected out of 400 other applicants.
As a winner of the scholarship he was flown to New York City for the NCLD's 36th Annual Benefit Dinner held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel where he received his scholarship from award-winning actress Sigourney Weaver and gave a memorized speech in front of 400 people, including Barbara Walters.
"It was probably one of the most nerveracking things I've done," Ross added.
He also got to try his first caviar
"It was wrapped around the salmon so I couldn't really taste it," he said.
The trip he said was "unreal."
"It made me want to live in New York, it's an amazing city. I love New York," he said. "It's almost like you're in Disney World when you're in Time Square, it was amazing."
"One thing that was a surprise being in New York is they have this persona of being such tough, snotty people, but they're really nice," added Ross. "Everyone comes up to you and asks if you need directions or where you want to go and they're just everyday people."
While one opportunity leads to another, upon returning home from New York, Nancy said she received an e-mail asking for Ross to speak at Capital Hill in Washington DC where he will be part of an educational panel.
"It's exciting and nerve-racking," he said. "It's almost the same mixed feelings about graduation."
Outside of the classroom, Ross has also found success running cross country and playing his first year of varsity lacrosse. He is a member of the National Honors Society and does a lot of community service, including volunteering as a reading tutor for a fourth grade boy, who is also believed to have dyslexia.
Looking at all of his accomplishments so far and that Ross will be graduating with a high school diploma, Nancy said she couldn't be more proud of her son.
"Never put constraints and box a kid in because you never know what is going open their mind to enable them to do things (they never thought was possible). If you get a bad grade, it's not the end of the story; it's what you come out with," she said. "He's coming out with a 3.7 grade point average in honors and AP classes and he did it with hard work."
As for the future, Ross plans to attend Michigan State University with a major in International Relations, where he hopes to get a job working for the government.
"Whether that is Secretary of State, FBI or something like that, I've always had an interest in history," he said. "I just want to be a part of history and do something that's remembered."

The goodness-of-fit test gives:
= 7.7 for 9 d.f., P = 0.55.
The combined frequencies of poker hands in the whole table are shown in Table 3. The largest difference between expected and observed frequencies (for threes) is about 2.25 times its standard deviation, which is roughly at about the 9 or 10 per cent probability level (looking merely at the largest of five independent normal observations).
Poker Test on The Million Digits (200,000 Poker Hands)
|Two pairs (aabbc)||21,600||21,572|
|Full house (aaabb)||1,800||1,788|
The goodness-of-fit test gives:
= 5.5 for 5 d.f., P = 0.35.
Also, the frequencies of poker hands were computed for each of ten blocks of 100,000 digits and the mean and standard deviation was computed from the ten values for each kind of hand. The results are shown in Table 4.
Mean and Standard Deviation of Frequencies in Seven Classes of Poker Hands
|Classes||Theoretical Mean||Actual Mean||Theoretical Std. Dev.||Actual Std. Dev.|
Serial and Run Tests. Some further tests were made on the first block of 50,000 digits to look particularly for any evidence of serial association among the digits. The serial test classified every successive pair of digits by each digit of the pair in a ten-by-ten table. The frequencies of the different pairs are given in Table 5, where the first digit of the pair is shown in the left column of the table and the second digit is shown at the top. Thus there were 5l0 cases in which a zero followed a one. The frequency for the row (or column) totals is 7.56, which is about the 0.60 probability level for 9 d.f.
Frequencies of Ordered Pairs of Digits
|First Digit||Second Digit/||0||1||2||3||4||5||6||7||8||9||Total|
Several essentially equivalent values were computed from Table 5. First, assuming all pairs equally likely (expected value of 500 for each cell), a of 107.8 was computed, which for 90 d.f. (because row totals equal column totals) is about the 0.10 probability level. Second, given the row frequencies and assuming digits equally likely to follow (expected value of 492.3 for cells of the first row, for example), a of 98.9 was computed which is about the 0.25 level for 90 d.f. Third, the expected cell sizes were computed as 1 /10 the column totals to give a value of 100.4, which is about the 0.20 level. Fourth, fitting all means to both row and column totals gave a of 91.9 with 81 d.f, which is at about the 0.19 probability level.
Finally, in the same block of 50,000 digits all runs were counted with the obviously satisfactory results shown in Table 6.
|Length of Run||Expected Frequency||Observed Frequency|
|r = 1||40500||40410|
|r = 2||4050||4055|
|r = 3||405||421|
|r = 4||40.5||48|
|r = 5||4.5||5|
Half of the random digit table was used to produce 100,000 standard normal deviates by solving for x in the equation
where D is a five-digit number from the table and
is the cumulative standard normal distribution. The Bureau of Standards tables of F(x) were used (Ref. 11).
The deviates were determined by the five-digit numbers on the left-hand half of every page of the digit table. The deviates in the first column correspond page by page with the five-figure digits in the first column of the first 200 pages of the digit table; the deviates in the second column correspond page by page with the first column of the second 200 pages of the digit table. Similarly, the third and fourth columns of deviates were derived from the second column of five-figure digits, etc.
A test of the fit of the entire table of deviates to the normal distribution was performed using 400 class intervals (Ref. 10) with roughly 250 expected in each. The value was found to be 346.4, which for 399 d.f. indicates a very close fit; the probability of a larger value of is about 0.97. The detailed data for this test are given in Table 7.
A more refined test of the fit in the tails was made on the deviates exceeding 2.326 in absolute value. Eighty intervals (Ref. 10) were used, each with an expectation of approximately 25. The value was 76.26, with 80 d.f.; the probability of a larger value is about 0.61. The details of this test are given in Table 8.
The only tests made on the squares of the deviates consisted in computing sums of k squares and comparing the distribution of the sums with the distribution with k d.f., employing again the standard goodness-of-fit test. This was done for k = 25, 50, 100, 300, with the following results:
|k||Number of Sums||Number of Intervals (i)||with i – 1 Degrees of Freedom||Probability of a Larger|
The fourth column gives the goodness-of-fit value for the fit to the distribution with k degrees of freedom. Intervals of approximately equal probability were used in all cases.
Use of the Tables
The lines of the digit table are numbered from 00000 to 19999. In any use of the table, one should first find a random starting position. A common procedure for doing this is to open the book to an unselected page of the digit table and blindly choose a five-digit number; this number with the first digit reduced modulo 2 determines the starting line; the two digits to the right of the initially selected fivedigit number are reduced modulo 50 to determine the starting column in the starting line. To guard against the tendency of books to open repeatedly at the same page and the natural tendency of a person to choose a number toward the center of the page: every five-digit number used to determine a starting position should be marked and not used a second time for this purpose.
The digit table is also used to find a random starting position in the deviate table: Select a five-digit number as before; the first four digits give the starting line (the lines being numbered from 0000 to 9999) and the fifth digit gives the starting position in the line.
Ordinarily, the table is read in the same direction as a book is read; however, the size of the table may be effectively increased by varying the direction in which it is read. Thus, one may read columns instead of lines, may read the table backward, may read lines forward but pages from bottom to top, etc. Of course, care must be taken in using these devices to avoid introducing correlations when the table is used more than once on the same problem.
To obtain a random permutation of the integers 1, 2,..., n, select a random starting position; use the five-digit number containing the starting position and the following n - 1 five-digit numbers; put the integers in the same order as these n five-digit numbers. In case of ties among the five-digit numbers, use additional columns to the right to make six or more digit numbers. The same procedure is used to obtain a random permutation of n objects, some of which are indistinguishable, by merely numbering the objects arbitrarily from 1 to n.
To obtain random observations from any distribution G(x), use Eq. (1), substitute G(x) for F(x), and employ as many digits in D as required for the desired accuracy of the observations. Of course the negative exponent of 10 in Eq. (1) must be equal to the number of digits in D. If G(x) has a discontinuity at x0, define it to be continuous on the right and take the solution of Eq. (1) to be x0 when the left side of Eq. (1) falls between G(x0-) and G(x0). For example, if
G(x) = 1 – e-x,
and one is content with three-figure accuracy, then the three-digit number 082 determines an observation from a population distributed by G(x) as follows:
.0825 = 1 – e-x,
x =.086.
A technique suggested by von Neumann, called the "rejection method," enables one to substitute for the solution of Eq. (1) a stochastic process involving a much simpler computation; this technique will be discussed in a forthcoming book by Kahn (Ref. 8).
To obtain pairs of normal deviates with given correlation, use pairs (x, y) of independent deviates from the table and transform them to
Thus for = -.6, for example, if (.732, -1.205) are two deviates from the table, then
is a pair of deviates from a normal population with the desired correlation.
In general, to obtain a random observation from a bivariate population with distribution G(x,y), one uses a marginal distribution on one variate, say, G1(x), and the conditional distribution, say, G2(y/x), on the other. Two random numbers determine the observation: one determines x by employing G1

The Whales, They Give Themselves is an intimate life history of Harry Brower, Sr. (_PHONE_), an Inupiaq whaling captain, artisan, and community leader from Barrow, Alaska. In a life that spanned the profound cultural and economic changes of the twentieth century, Brower's vast knowledge of the natural world made him an essential contributor to the Native and scientific communities of the North. His desire to share his insights with future generations resulted in a series of conversations with friend and oral historian Karen Brewster, who weaves Harry's stories with cultural and historical background into this innovative and collaborative oral biography.
Brower was deeply committed to Native culture, and his life history is a moving expression of the Inupiaq way of life. He was also influential in traditionally non-Native arenas in which Native and non-Native values sometimes collided. Acting as a mediator between Inupiaq whalers and non-Native scientists, Brower communicated a vast understanding of bowhead whales and whaling that became the basis for a scientific research program and helped protect Inupiaq subsistence whaling. He was a central architect of the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation boundaries, and served for over twenty years as a consultant to scientists at the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory. Brower's role in this collaborative research serves as one of the earliest and best examples of how scientists and Native experts can work together to advance knowledge. Such approaches are now promoted by researchers around the world.
The Whales, They Give Themselves not only conveys Brower's life story, but also is a cross-cultural journey of wisdom and friendship. Whereas academic oral historians once strove to erase the presence of the interviewer in the name of objectivity, Brewster recognizes the influence her specific relationship with Brower had on the way he narrated his life. This volume is a major contribution to our understanding of northern peoples, and a testament to the immense value of collaborative oral history.

Your Colorado optometrist might take part in Medicaid and supply eye exams and glasses in your kids for gratis to you. Virtually 1 of each four kids in Colorado is insured by means of Medicaid. As a result of so many kids are coated below Medicaid there are six factors it is advisable to perceive.
- Medicaid protection for imaginative and prescient varies state by state so don't presume you should have the identical advantages when shifting to Colorado from one other state. There are various kinds of imaginative and prescient care protection for youngsters and adults. Adjustments in eye care advantages have occurred in the previous few years, and can proceed to alter with well being care reform. Growth or reduce backs in advantages might happen at any time. Medicaid is a state run program run in cunjunction with the Federal Governement. States can range the protection insurance policies to a point. The state of Colorado has it's personal plan. One instance of the variations is grownup protection. Adults have a $ 2.00 co-pay for eye exams and restricted benfits for eyeglasses. Many states have full protection for adults.
- For Medicaid imaginative and prescient protection in Colorado, kids's imaginative and prescient insurance coverage protection is outlined by age 20 and below. When reaching age 21, Colorado Medicaid counselors you an grownup and the advantages change. Youngsters are eligible for an eye fixed examination by their optometrist as wanted with no co-pay.
- Contact lens becoming charges entail further expenses above the common eye examination. These are usually not coated until there may be an eye fixed illness that warps the cornea. Contact lenses would be the solely approach to offer acceptable visible acuity. The precise contact lenses are additionally not coated until they're relevant medical analysis. This isn't a space the place a affected person can plead their case. If there are particular medical situations requiring contact lenses your eye physician has to file a kind to have your case thought-about. The overview course of can take a number of weeks to a number of months. It's usually permitted if contact lenses are the one strategy to right your imaginative and prescient as a consequence of a corneal eye illness. Your optometrist might should submit a kind for prior authorization greater than as soon as to speak the necessity for particular consideration, so you will have to have some endurance.
- A regular eyeglass body and lenses are coated with no co pay. A regular body means frames are restricted to cheap frames. That doesn't imply that they're unnecessarily low high quality. Your optometrist is barely allowed a restricted reimbursement for the eyeglass body. Repairs for damaged frames or lenses are a profit, and a substitute body is offered if the body can't be repaired. Whereas this isn't essentially a vast profit, it may be used greater than as soon as in case your youngster is already to breaking glasses. Lack of eyeglasses will not be particularly outlined as a profit however could also be coated.
- Lens remedies resembling scratch resistant coatings, glare free coatings, tints, and skinny lens supplies are usually not coated. Scratch resistant coatings are the one choice you should buy. Prescription eye glass lenses and not using a scratch coating will almost definitely have scratch marks on them inside a day or two of teenager utilization. Scratch resistant coatings are usually not scratch proof, however they'll definitely lengthen the usable lifetime of the lenses. There's a strategy to have thinner, lighter lenses coated in your youngster. If you happen to request polycarbonate lenses, they are going to be a lot thinner and enticing for larger eye glass lens prescriptions, and assist your youngster's self picture. Polycarbonate lenses are often beneficial for youngsters and teenagers needing eyeglasses as a consequence of their excessive affect resistance.
- Different providers could also be obtainable with prior authorization. Imaginative and prescient gadgets for youngsters which have vital sight loss from eye illnesses, some lens remedies, remedy for lazy eye, and different providers are typically permitted. Don't count on a quick approval, however it's definitely worth the wait when the service finally ends up being coated.
Medicaid is continually altering and this data is offered as instructional, not as consultant of present state coverage. Various kinds of packages can be found in some areas of Colorado. Eligibility for enrolling in Medicaid and understanding your imaginative and prescient advantages is your duty, and the State of Colorado has assets that can assist you. Go to the Colorado State web site at: _URL_ [_URL_ Thousand of kids are eligible for Medicaid protection in Colorado however are at present not audited or coated by any insurance coverage plan. You possibly can assist hold your youngsters wholesome by taking the time to enroll them now, and maintaining with annual preventive eye physician examinations.[ad_2]

Soak Testing
If you plan to achieve or look to maintain the maximum performance of your systems during operating hours, you may need a few performance tests verifying your system's stability and load during the final phase of the development cycle. This kind of tests is called soak tests, which help you discover immediate performance-related problems—such as memory leaks or resources leaks—before the release of the product on a particular platform.
What is Soak Testing?
Soak testing (otherwise known as endurance testing, capacity testing, or longevity testing) involves testing the system to detect the performance-related issues such as stability and response time by requesting the designed load on a system. The system is then evaluated to see whether it could perform well under a significant load for an extended period, thereby measuring its reaction and analyzing its behavior under sustained use. Soak testing is a type of load testing.
There is a myriad of soak testing tools these days, such as LoadStorm, LoadRunner, LoadUI, OpenSTA, Apache JMeter, Appvance, and WebLoad.
Besides, there are some supporting tools that make sure your system works properly under normal conditions, such as Katalon Studio, Selenium, Robot framework.
Examples of Soak Testing
Ideally, a soak test should run as long as possible, though it will depend on the system for you to determine the duration of your test. Below are some examples when soak testings can be considered:
 - When a bank announces that it will be closing, its system is expected to handle a large number of transactions during the closing days of the bank. This event is rare and unexpected, but your system has to handle this unlikely situation anyway.
 - A system needs to withstand the period of no on-call staff. Usually, this will happen when the staff doesn't work on the weekend, so the soak test would prove the system's ability to function for a period longer than a weekends-worth of non-stop operation.
 - Your system is required to process 1000 transactions in 1 hour. You may need to test not only this capability but also go beyond this requirement: testing 1000 transactions in half an hour or 2000 in 1 hour.
Several Considerations for Soak Testing
 - A soak test duration is often decided by the system's availability.
 - Every application must run without interruption.
 - Each system normally has a frequent maintenance window time; such period will be the key factor in deciding the scope of a soak test.
Why Should You Perform a Soak Test?
Soak testing is mainly used to identify and optimize potential problems, such as memory leaks, resource leaks, or degradation that could happen over time, to avoid impaired performance or system errors. While stress tests will help the development team to test the system to its limits, soak testing takes the system to its limits over a sustained period of use. In other words, soak testing allows the team to mimic the real world usage, in which the users will constantly need access to the system.
Advantages that Soak Testing Brings
 - It guarantees the application's fitness.
 - It detects bugs that could not be found by other performance tests.
 - It spots the deterioration in performance, which could happen under high continuous load, and helps to fix those issues so that the application will be more robust.
 - It shows how sustainably the system runs over time.
 - The test result could be used to validate or improve customers' infrastructure demands.
Challenges of Soak Testing?
 - The test is a time-consuming process, and it would be inconvenient to be conducted on a project with very strict time constraints.
 - You need to use an automation tool together with technical expertise since soak tests run over an extended period of time and consume a lot of data.
 - It is often difficult to determine how much test is worth applying.
 - If the test environment is not correctly detached from the live production environment, the errors found by the soak test could negatively impact the whole working system, causing data loss or data corruption permanently.
When to do Soak Testing?
Before a system is released on a particular platform to clients, it must successfully undergo a series of load tests at higher or similar traffic levels. Then you execute the soak test. Soak testing will help you to see how the system runs for a continuous availability period. If there are any issues like memory leaks or memory corruption during the test, it should be reported immediately.
Since the process could take time as long as a day, soak testing should be done over the weekends, although it also depends entirely on the test situation's restrictions.
Soak testing is now one of the most vital requirements that any team must strictly comply with for a successful deployment.
Soak Testing Strategies
Before performing a soak test, you need to take a bird-eye view of the system and determine:
 - Testing Environment:
 Figure out which hardware, software, database, and operating system to perform the soak test.
 - Test Scenarios:
 Since soak testing is an extensive process, it is important to design, review, and finalize the test scenarios before performing any tests. Here, the development team also needs to determine how heavy the load that will be put on the system.
Test Estimation:
The duration of the soak test is essential depending on the scope of the system. It also depends on the involvement of the development team and clients, actual production use, and more.
 - Risk Analysis: Consider some questions, such as: How the soak test remains consistent over use? Are there any bugs that have yet to be detected? Are there any external interferences that will cause the systems to go down?
What are the Common Issues that Soak Testing Detects?
 - Memory allocation (memory leaks which finally lead to a memory crisis or rounding failures that only display over time).
 - Database resource usage (errors when closing the database cursors under certain conditions that would eventually cause the entire system to come to a standstill).
 - It can also bring about a deterioration in performance, that is, to make sure that the response time after an extended period is as good as it is when the test starts.
 - Errors when closing connections between tiers of a multilayer system under certain circumstances that could block some or all of its modules.
 - The gradual deterioration in the response time of some tasks as internal data-structures are less organized over an extended test period.
Before doing any soak testing, it is important to ensure that your system works properly under normal conditions. Katalon Studio provides a simple solution for the software testing system, helping the development cycle run smoothly and guaranteeing a successful deployment.

The injection of stiff mortar or paste instead of grout to displace and compact the soil in situ, thus improving its engineering characteristics. The technique is particularly useful for the consolidation of loose strata, to increase ground bearing capacity and for the treatment of dissolution features. The degree of densification depends on the type of soil treated and the grid pattern for the injection points.
HOW IT WORKS
Compaction grouting is a process of increasing the density of the soil by injecting a stiff mortar under pressure (generally 0.5 to 1 Bar/m depth), through cased boreholes. As the grout is pumped in, it gradually forms a bulb which pushes the surrounding soil to the side, thereby increasing the relative density of the soil. The casing is the withdrawn by one metre and the grouting process is repeated until full treatment is achieved.
Capability: Depending on ground conditions, borehole depths can reach up to 30m. The densification achieved can be measured using standard soil investigation techniques.
Advantages: Ability to work in areas of restricted access, cost effective, easily scalable.

Cancer oregonensis (Pygmy rock crab)
2005 Mary Jo Adams
small crab has a carapace width of less than 2 inches. The
rounded carapace is widest at the 7 th or 8 th lateral tooth and
unlike other cancer crabs, the carapace lacks angular corners.
The carapace is usually red-brown but color varies; the tips of
the claws look like they were dipped in black ink. Its legs
are quite hairy. Look for this crab low in the
intertidal under rocks, hiding in crevices, or tucked away in the
otherwise empty shell of a giant barnacle ( Balanus nubilus
). It is found subtidally to a depth of 1400 feet.
pygmy rock crab accesses the small barnacles that it preys on by
crushing their shells with powerful claws. Other
common names for this crab are hairy cancer crab and Oregon cancer
crab most likely to be confused with this species is Lophopanopeus
bellus bellus (the black clawed crab) as both are small and
have black tipped claws. To distinguish between the two,
look for the 3 lateral teeth along the edge of the carapace of the
black-clawed crab. The pygmy rock crab carapace is more rounded,
has more numerous teeth, and has very hairy legs.

Continuous automatic firing electrode, referred to as self firing electrode, is composed of electrode paste and iron shell. The electrode is constantly consumed when working in the calcium carbide furnace, so it is necessary to continue to discharge the electrode to supplement it. When the electrode is placed under the conductive jaw, the electrode paste is carbonized to form an electrode through high-temperature baking at about 1000°C. Because the electrode iron shell can continue to be welded without power failure in the electric furnace, the electrode paste is continuously added to the iron shell, and it is sintered in the calcium carbide furnace, so it is called continuous automatic baking electrode.
Self-fired electrodes are widely used in calcium carbide furnaces and ferroalloy furnaces. The characteristic of this kind of electrode is that the diameter can be expanded to 2 meters, it is very convenient to connect on the calcium carbide furnace without screw joint, and the price is low. This creates favorable conditions for the development of calcium carbide furnace to large capacity. In the entire equipment of the calcium carbide furnace, the electrode is the heart. In the production of calcium carbide, the electric current is inputted into the furnace through the electrodes to generate an electric arc to smelt calcium carbide. The electrode occupies an extremely important position in the entire electric furnace. There are many parameters in the design of calcium carbide furnace with reference to the diameter of the electrode.
The size of the electrode diameter is determined by the current density allowed by the current passing through the electrode cross-sectional area. If the diameter is small, the allowable current density is large; if the diameter is large, the allowable current density is small. The selection of current density and electrode diameter is very important for the entire electric furnace.
The determination of the electrode diameter has great guiding significance for the design of considering the electrode concentric circle diameter, electrode spacing, furnace inner diameter, furnace depth, even the outer diameter of the furnace, and the thickness of the bottom of the furnace. Because the data of these dimensions refer to the empirical data of multiple relationship with the electrode. Three-phase electric furnace electrodes generally adopt a triangular arrangement. When designing, it is necessary to consider the distance between the electrodes, so that it has sufficient and uniform temperature distribution, and can form a larger high-temperature area that can collude with each other, and also consider that there is enough distance between the electrode and the furnace wall to make it be against the furnace.
The wall radiation is uniform to avoid the furnace wall from burning out too quickly. The ratio of the diameter of the electrode concentric circle to the inner diameter of the furnace wall is generally 0.44. The inner diameter of the furnace is 2.25 times the diameter of the electrode concentric circle. Regarding the ratio of the electrode concentric circle diameter to the electrode diameter, most of the empirical data used are currently 2.7 times better. The depth of the furnace is 2.3 times the diameter of the electrode.
In addition, the diameter of the electric furnace, the depth of the electrode inserted into the charge, the thickness of the bottom of the furnace, the area of the bottom of the furnace, and the furnace capacity are all related to the electrode. It can be seen that the electrode occupies an extremely important position in the design of the entire electric furnace equipment. At present, most of the electrodes in domestic electric furnaces use self-burning electrodes, and the accidents we often encounter in the entire electric furnace equipment are electrode accidents. These accidents are soft broken electrodes, hard broken electrode shell ruptures, electrode leakage, electrode "stabbing fire", electrodes cannot be put down and so on.
Where an accident occurs in the electrode, it affects the normal production of the electric furnace, and sometimes causes the production to stop for dozens of hours or days, a lot of manpower and material resources are wasted, and even serious personal injuries occur. In short, the electrode occupies an important position in the calcium carbide furnace. Without it, the electric furnace cannot function. If it has a problem, the entire furnace production will not be able to proceed normally, or even paralyzed. Therefore, as a calcium carbide production worker, it is necessary to understand the composition, performance, production method, function and influence of the electrode paste on the electric furnace.

Nuclear waste is normally a major environmental headache, but it could soon be a source of clean energy. Scientists have developed a method of turning that waste into batteries using diamond. If you encapsulate short-range radioactive material in a human-made diamond, you can generate a small electrical charge even as you completely block harmful radiation. While the team used a nickel isotope for its tests, it ultimately expects to do this using the carbon isotope you find in graphite blocks from nuclear power plants.
The batteries wouldn't generate much power, but their longevity would be dictated by the life of the radiation itself. Researchers estimate that a carbon-based battery would generate 50 percent of its power in 5,730 years. Most likely, the batteries would be used in high-altitude drones, pacemakers, spacecraft and anywhere else replacing the battery is either very cumbersome or impossible. You could see interstellar probes that keep running long after they lose solar power, for example.
Any practical implementations are likely a long way off, and there are some conspicuous problems. Cost, for one. Diamond is expensive, so it might not be feasible to convert large amounts of nuclear waste into batteries. That's assuming the technology works as well as intended, too. Still, it raises hope that the leftovers from nuclear reactors won't just sit there posing a threat — they might actually do us some good.

Spenser's Amoretti and Epithalamion

Though firmly entrenched in the Protestant Christian tradition, Spenser followed the artists of his day in admiring the work and beliefs of the ancient Greeks. Nowhere is this more evident than in Amoretti and Epithalamion, where the driving emotion--love--is given free rein to roam the fields of nymphs and drink deeply in the bowers of Bacchus. Spenser uses the most lusty of pagan traditions to emphasize his full-bodied passion for his bride and for life itself. In Spenser's poetic world, there is no division between spirit and flesh; to exalt one is to exalt the other.Pride is another element found in this work. In both the Protestant Christian tradition and the classical Greek tradition, pride is often referred to as the greatest sin a person can commit. Spenser deals with pride in Amoretti, sometimes criticizing his beloved for her proud stance, but more often defending her pride as an outward manifestation of her inner perfection. That she seems proud to lesser men is true only because these men (including the speaker) are truly lesser beings than she. She is not arrogant--she merely is who and what she was created to be.

Adequate Blasting for Maritime Vessels
Adequate Blasting for Maritime Vessels
A correct blasting process and the application of adequate treatments guarantee a long life for maritime vessels.
The Star of India ship was built in 1863 and it is still in functioning condition today. After many adventures on seas and oceans, under its original name of Euterpe, the vessel was sold in 1901 and it was renamed Star of India – a name that it is still bearing today. It kept transporting both passengers and merchandise until 1923, when steam vessels started dominating the seas. Time started taking its toll as well, the ship needing major repairs.
Blasting played an important role in restoring the ship's metallic structural elements. Thus, the old paint layers were removed, along with rust and other residues accumulated and the metallic surface was cleaned, allowing it, once again, to go through the necessary treatments in an efficient manner, which extended the vessel's life cycle.
The Star of India was refurbished and it met the ocean again in 1976. Currently, it belongs to the Maritime Museum in San Diego and it sails at least once a year.

Potatoes from the same furrow
I discovered an interesting Welsh expression today – maen nhw'n datws o'r un rhych ('they're potatoes from the same furrow'), which is one equivalent of saying that they are as thick as thieves, i.e. they are close friends. Other Welsh equivalents of this expression include maen nhw'n gryn lawiau ('they're pretty (?) hands'); maen nhw'n yng nghegau ei gilydd ('they're in mouths together'); and maen nhw'n drwyn wrth drwyn ('they're nose to nose').
In French the equivalent of this phrase is comme larrons en foire ('like thieves in (a) fair') – the word larron is a old word for thief – the usual word is voleur.
What about in other languages?

 1. Charlie says:
 Two German expressions I can think of are sie stecken unter einer Decke 'they lie under the same blanket' and sie halten zusammen wie Pech und Schwefel 'they stick together like pitch and brimstone' — I think … wie Feuer und Schwefel '… like fire and brimstone' can be used instead, but I'm not sure.
 2. D.Jay says:
 I was thinking two peas in a pod, but that is something different – meaning two people who are alike, not necessarily always together. We would also say joined at the hip.
 3. Charlie says:
 The Dutch say onder één hoedje spelen 'play under one hat' (hoedje is diminutive, so literally it's 'small hat').
 4. old_nomad says:
 Common Russian phrase for "joined at the hip" is не разлей-вода "cannot be separated by pouring water (on them)", most probably alluding to pouring water on quarreling animals to separate them. And for being alike without necessarily being close there is одного поля ягоды "berries from the same field", usually in negative sense.
 5. TJ says:
 Well… in colloquial Arabic dialects I can remember one similar phrase which is understood commonly between people of different background from west and east – however, it is a bit vulgar so I'm going to write the translation here only, which comes like: they are like two @$$es in one pant/underwear.
 Well, as for the standard Arabic, I can't remember something significant, but probably I've heard the expressions Two heads from the same shirt or Two bodies in the same shirt before.
 6. Rauli says:
 In Finnish, "kuin paita ja peppu" (like a shirt and the butt).
 7. Remd says:
 A common neutral phrase in Spanish is "son uña y carne", which means "they are like nail and meat". But there's a popular (or rather vulgar) phrase which is used, as far as I've read, especially in Catalonia and I don't know if the original version is Spanish or Catalan. It's "son culo y mierda" which means, if you'll pardon the translation, "they are like ass and shit".
 8. Leonardo A. C. says:
 In Portuguese it's said "Farinha do mesmo saco" (Flour from the same sack) or "Unha e carne" (Nail and flesh).
 9. James says:
 I think that when you learn a language is really funny to look at the expressions and saying used, which sometimes can be really different from our mother tongue. If you require a Welsh translation make sure you address to professionals, to have the best results.

Remote read replicas - the what, why, and how
PostgreSQL remote read replicas enable users to increase their data availability, as well as read and write performance. Read more to learn how Aiven does it.
03 April 2018
Prem Nallasivampillai
Prem Nallasivampillai RSS Feed
Head of Customer Success at Aiven
Glossary of terms Master: The primary DB instance that is the target of write (and read) operations.
Standby: A DB instance that will be considered for promotion (available for reads).
Read replica: Implies local or remote read-only instance (a.k.a replica).
What is an Aiven for PostgreSQL remote read replica?
When it comes to Aiven for PostgreSQL, until remote replica functionality was released a few weeks ago, there were traditionally two types of DB instances namely, Master, and one or more Standby instances. Each standby instance serves two purposes: the first is to be considered for promotion in the event the master fails, and the other is to serve read-only operations.
Standalone read replica is the newest member to this family. The differences between a standby instance and a remote read replica are that, a remote read replica will never be considered for promotion if the master failed, and a standby is always located in the same region as the master.
As with all flavors of standby and read replica instances (local or remote), the mechanism used to replicate data from the master to the replicas is asynchronous. By not relying on network service quality & bandwidth coupled with the low overhead inherent in PostgreSQL streaming replication, the impact to the write and read performance of the Master DB instance is negligible.
Note: A remote read replica can be set up between homogenous or heterogenous cloud providers. For example, you can have your primary service in Google Cloud (Iowa) and have a read replica in DigitalOcean (New York) or Google Cloud (South Carolina).
Why remote read replicas are a business imperative
At this point, you might be wondering what the big deal is about the new addition. The two most fundamental uses of the remote read replica are to provide greater data availability, and increased performance (throughput and latency) for reads and writes. By offloading reads to the replica, you are essentially doing two things:
1. increase read throughput (fairly obvious), and
2. increase write throughput on the master (not so obvious).
To illustrate, let's say that you have a business-critical application that records online merchandise purchases. In order to record and fulfill those orders you have invested in one of the premium Aiven PostgreSQL plans equipped with a read/write Master and two standby instances, where all the DB instances are located in the same region.
What would happen if the region your Aiven service is running in goes black, as would happen with a natural disaster?. You are then in a situation where you can neither view existing orders, let alone fulfill them. Nor can you record any new orders that your customers want to make from your website. As your sales are impacted, so is your bottom line.
If you were taking advantage of remote read replica functionality, your day would have gone a lot better. Because, the remote read replica will remain fully operational for reads even if the primary region hosting your Master and local replicas becomes inoperable. Therefore, you can continue to fulfill existing orders that were already made.
You can even tweak it so that you can convert the remote read replica to a read/write Master and point your web application to it within a matter of a few minutes, thereby allowing you to continue accepting new orders. In short, a remote read replica provides greater data availability for your business-critical applications.
And availability is just the most obvious benefit of remote read replicas; there are also performance benefits. Especially in the age of globalization, it makes sense to place the data close to consumers. In this case, there may be data that various regional departments share. By allowing for the placement of data close to consumers, a remote read replica makes it more efficient to access.
A similar use case is where massive amounts of data are used in various regions to generate daily performance reports and analytics. Again, replicating and placing this data closest to the regions where the reports and analytics are run for decision makers enables them to make more timely decisions based upon the data. Aiven for PostgreSQL remote read replica feature makes this possible.
How to set up a read replica in 7 steps
Setting up a remote read replica is made convenient through the Aiven Console. Please follow the instructions below to setup a remote read replica for any non-hobbyist Aiven for PostgreSQL plan.

Ecotourism can become green economy driving force: deputy minister
Ecotourism could become one of the driving forces for Indonesia's green economy, Deputy Minister of Environmental Affairs and Forestry (LHK), Alue Dohong, has said.
"Indonesia's existing ecotourism can be a driving force for a green economy. This means we don't need to exploit nature," Dohong said while visiting the Mount Gede Pangrango National Park in Cibodas, Cianjur district, West Java on Tuesday.
Green economy is an economic system based on human welfare and social equality that seeks to reduce environmental risks significantly, according to him.
The management of nature into a tourist area can generate income for the region and society and create jobs without destructive and exploitative actions that, in the future, can be detrimental to the community, he remarked.
Dohong said he is optimistic that Indonesia is currently moving towards a green economy that is more environmentally friendly and leaving an economic system that only pursues profit without paying attention to natural sustainability.
Ecotourism is one of the potential areas that can encourage Indonesia to broadly implement a green economy, he added.
He highlighted various ecotourism destinations, such as the Gede Pangrango National Park, that could boost local economic activities, and the Situgunung suspension bridge, which has become a popular tourist attraction.
Ecotourism can be described as tourism that is conducted responsibly to conserve the environment and sustain the well-being of local people.
Its benefits include promoting environmental awareness, providing direct financial benefits for conservation, and providing financial benefits and empowerment for local people.

OOOOOOOOOOH!!!! A ghost!
Ghost Shrimps live in deep parts and crevices of caves. They are not common but very striking when they are found. The Ghost Shrimp are burrower's in kind of muddy or sandy sediments. They can also live in crevices underneath rocks and corals. Since these animals burrow, they are important to the ocean enviornment. Ghost Shrimps are sometimes used as bait by fishermen. The fishermen call the Ghost Shrimp Bass Yabbies and/or one armed bandits. They are especially common in the tropics. The female Ghost Shrimps carry developing eggs attached to some hairs on their pleopods or stomach.

In the first set of experiments, researchers asked volunteers (half of whom had been eating salty pretzels) to estimate the distance to a water bottle. As a group, the thirstier subjects all thought the water was closer than did their unsalted counterparts.
In another set of experiments, volunteers were asked to toss a beanbag onto a gift card that was worth either $0 or $25. They threw the beanbag much farther if the card wasn't worth anything. The $25 cards seemed to be closer.All the experiments confirmed that estimates of physical proximity are affected by desire. The researchers suggest that our brains perceive desired objects as being closer in order to increase our motivation to go and get it.

Recurrences for elliptic hypergeometric integrals
- Author(s): Rains, Eric M.
- et al.
Published Web Locationhttps://arxiv.org/pdf/math/_PHONE_.pdf
In recent work (_URL_ on multivariate hypergeometric integrals, the author generalized a conjectural integral formula of van Diejen and Spiridonov to a ten parameter integral provably invariant under an action of the Weyl group E_7. In the present note, we consider the action of the affine Weyl group, or more precisely, the recurrences satisfied by special cases of the integral. These are of two flavors: linear recurrences that hold only up to dimension 6, and three families of bilinear recurrences that hold in arbitrary dimension, subject to a condition on the parameters. As a corollary, we find that a codimension one special case of the integral is a tau function for the elliptic Painlev
