The British Postal Museum in London houses a collection of objects, archives and works of art which trace back over 400 years of postal heritage. This historical collection is designated as being of outstanding national importance by the Arts Council and is on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register. The museum's archives are protected by a pressurised watermist fire protection system, designed, installed and maintained by Fireworks.
Why use pressurised watermist for archives?
Fireworks' watermist solutions are ideal for archives, as they offer the fastest, safest protection against fire and smoke. Automatic systems incorporate sensors that detect heat and/or smoke, long before fire is noticeable by the human eye. Pressurised water is then emitted exactly at the point of fire, to provide a highly effective, localised solution. The spread of harmful smoke is dramatically reduced and unlike traditional sprinkler systems, watermist only uses very small amounts of water.
The watermist fire protection system
The watermist solution designed for the British Postal Museum comprises a compact, powerful pump unit and a series of watermist nozzles. In the event of a fire been detected, the pump drives pressurised water through a system of fine diameter stainless steel pipes to the affected nozzle. Water is released through the nozzle, in the form of mist. These atomised water droplets are drawn directly to the point of fire, lowering the temperature and suppressing the fire in seconds.
A unique property of watermist is its ability to reduce the spread of smoke – the biggest cause of casualties and damage to assets during fire. Because of the minute size of water droplets, watermist is airborne and is able to bond with smoke particles, which then fall harmlessly to the floor.

This study explores how the state defines "indigenous people" and determines their position in the Philippine society. Through cultural productions by indigenous performing troupes, cultural difference is established which also results to cultural brokerage. (Audio links are available).
Although Philippine music is an expression of a Southeast Asian indigenous culture that has been superceded by Spanish and later American elements, it has evolved into a unique cultural expression. Today, one roughly delineates traditional, or "indigenous" music from those with various degrees of Western influences. But we ask on the other hand, how do indigenous musical and cultural traditions contend with modernity and persevere despite drastic changes in the lives of its bearers and practitioners?
A music professor at University of the Philippines Diliman analyzes the productive aspects of rendering culture and difference in what has been aptly categorized as "indigenous music." Dr. Jonas Baes, in his dissertation Modes of Appropriation in Philippine Indigenous Music: The Politics of the Production of Cultural Difference (2004), uses Abaya's definition of cultural politics (1994) as springboard for discussion: "the encounters of power-laden cultural schemas taking place in contestations over definitions of, and responses to social realities." Initially, Baes problematises how the state defines "indigenous peoples" and the resultant schema that have located those who have resisted colonization as mere repositories of pre-Hispanic cultures and traditions, instead of incorporating indigenous peoples within the broader struggles of Philippine society in the global political economy. According to Baes, it is the locus of power that determines and locates those people's positions in Philippine society, positions categorized and known to us as the "pre-Hispanic," the "indigenous," or the "ethno-linguistic."
From those initial assumptions, Baes problematizes the production of "cultural difference" by seeing this as a political act—or, as one that contests and/or negotiates authenticity and the stakes of significance in a field of cultural production made up of festivals, training programs and recording productions, and run by what can be termed as a 'culture industry.' Baes sees that the stakes may be beneficial to both parties—the culture industry and those who participate in it. This is seen in light of material and symbolic benefits that result from production. The culture industry has in fact created a "backyard industry" for a growing number of performing troupes in many regions of the country.
Baes sees mediations between the culture industry and the culture bearers (or "indigenous" performing troupes) as acts of cultural brokerage. "Indigenous" performing troupes have sprouted like mushrooms in the various regions of the country in the last ten to fifteen years and their leaders have learned the trade of negotiating the cultures they have claimed as their own.
Cultural brokerage in the production of cultural difference can be witnessed in four case studies presented by Dr. Baes. These present various modes of appropriation: Bennicio Sokkong, founder of the Cordillera Music Tutorial and Research Center (CMTRC) based in Baguio City; Kanapia Kalanduyan and the Kulintang Training Program at the University of the Philippines College of Music; Baes himself as researcher and recordist in the "Mindanao Highlands Music" compact disc (CD) recording project; and the National Music Competitions for Young Artists (NAMCYA) Festival of Traditional Music.
Bennicio Sokkong is from a family who originated from Tabuk, Kalinga in Northern Philippines. He learned to fully appreciate his native culture when he was invited to teach at the University of the Philippines' (UP) College of Music. At UP, he had the chance to attend international conferences and received many invitations to perform traditional music in festivals, thus making him realize the importance of his culture. His intention to impart Kalinga music to the Philippine society and his willingness to blend traditional music with the popular soundscape led him to establish the CMTRC. Through this institution, he has been able to coordinate with other cultural organizations within the Cordillera Region and teach traditional music to people inside and outside the culture. Sokkong's engagement with sponsoring institutions, especially with those from the government reveals the various levels by which he negotiates his authenticity and the tensions of creating his own institution and its alignments and dis-alignments with local and national cultural agencies. Such struggles hurdled by Bennicio Sokkong highlights the conditions of cultural patronage in the country.
In another chapter, Baes analyzes is the Maguindanao Kulintang Program at the University of the Philippines College of Music. The kulintang is a set of gongs laid in a row, traditionally taught and practiced within an oral tradition by the Maguindanao people. Mr. Kanapia Kalanduyan, a faculty member at the College of Music's Department of Music Research, learned the traditional kulintang in his locality in Datu Piang, Maguindanao at an early age. This chapter discloses the tensions that arise when modern notation and pedagogical systems are applied, or rather imposed, on a musical system with an oral tradition. For Kanapia Kalanduyan, according to Baes, "the differences in pedagogical methods strongly impact on the system of performing and/or improvising." The structure of the pedagogical system at the college makes necessary the use of those musical notations, instead of the oral mode of transmission. Such modifications impact on the traditional pedagogical system, and the modes of performance and learning. Kalanduyan expressed his regret that because of the teaching method imposed by the academic institution, the students only become mimics of other people's performances, instead of developing their own styles of performance. Kalanduyan also laments that since kulintang playing by the great masters such as Ahmal Lumuntod is now reproduceable through notation, people outside the tradition gain access to the kulintang even without the rigours of traditional learning systems. This to him is a threat to the integrity of the tradition on the instrument.
In the next two chapters, one on the "Mindanao Highlands Music" CD recording project and another on the annual organization of the NAMCYA Festival of Traditional Music present the dynamics of negotiation between culture bearers and the academe, as well as institutions of the culture industry.
The chapter on the "Mindanao Highlands Music" CD describes the dynamics of cultural appropriation, as indigenous musicians now living within the fringes of urban centers in Davao del Sur help ethnomusicologists re-create the conditions and sound environment of traditional landscapes in the mountains for a CD recording project. This chapter also highlights the tensions and negotiations in the appropriation of indigenous music for recording productions and the inequity experienced by performing troupes with the institutions that utilize their performances of traditional culture.
Similar situations are highlighted in the next chapter, which deals with the annual "Traditional Music Festival" organized by National Music Competitions for Young Artists (NAMCYA). The NAMCYA is an annual event sponsored by the Philippine government in cooperation with various private institutions and held in Metro Manila. One of the highlights of the NAMCYA is this festival of traditional music, which features performances by indigenous troupes from the various regions of the country. Tensions arise when adjudicators from the National Capital Region come to Mindanao or the Cordillera Mountains to "select" or "judge" performing troupes who have mounted productions that highlight their traditions, and reconstruct these traditions on stage within a limited period of time. Such tensions further illuminate the deeper tensions of accommodation and modification of traditions and the performance of such in altered landscapes in Metro Manila.
In the subsequent chapter, Baes ties up the running themes in the four case studies presented and highlights what he calls the "aesthetic moments" in relation to the question of the politics of the production of cultural difference.
Dr. Jonas Baes' study on the various modes of appropriation in Philippine indigenous music is an elaborate exploration on how cultural difference is reconstructed within the context of social marginality. We ask then: what kind of negotiations has taken place whenever Philippine bamboo instruments or gongs are being tapped in recordings, or when costumed performing troupes render their music in festivals?
Dr. Jonas Baes is a composer and ethnomusicologist who studied at the UP College of Music [_PHONE_] and at the Freiburg Musikhochschule in Germany [_PHONE_]. In 2004, he graduated with a PhD in Philippine Studies from the University of the Philippines. His papers on the Iraya-Mangyan of Mindoro and on topics such as cultural politics, hegemony and marginality have been published in internationally refereed journals. His music compositions have been performed in various international festivals in Asia, Europe and the United States. He is presently the Chair of the Department of Composition and Theory at the UP College of Music.

RFC: Remove preg_replace /e modifier
 - Version: 1.0
 - Date: 2012-02-04
 - Author: Nikita Popov _EMAIL_
 - Status: Implemented
This RFC aims at deprecating and subsequently removing the /e modifier (PREG_REPLACE_EVAL) that preg_replace provides.
What does the /e modifier do?
Quoting the PHP manual:
If this modifier is set, preg_replace() does normal substitution of backreferences in the replacement string,
evaluates it as PHP code, and uses the result for replacing the search string. Single quotes, double quotes,
backslashes (\) and NULL chars will be escaped by backslashes in substituted backreferences.
$code = preg_replace('((.*?))e', '"". strtoupper("$2"). ""', $code); // uppercases headings
There are several serious issues with the /e modifier:
Security issues
As /e evaluates arbitrary PHP code it can easily be exploited if user input is not carefully validated or sanitized.
For example the above example can be used to execute arbitrary PHP code by passing the string {${eval($_GET[php_code])}}. The evaluted code in this case would be "". strtoupper("{${eval($_GET[php_code])}}"). "" and as such execute any PHP code passed in the php_code GET variable.
An example of a larger project which suffered from such a code injection vulnerability is RoundCube (see this changeset).
A both more secure and cleaner approach is the use of preg_replace_callback:
 function ($m) {
 return "". strtoupper($m[2]). "";
When passing the above exploit code ({${eval($_GET[php_code])}}) into this function the result will just be {${EVAL($_GET[PHP_CODE])}} and no code will be executed.
But we don't remove eval() either, do we?
The use of the /e modifier is not comparable to the use of eval(). *Any* use of /e can be replaced with a safer and cleaner use of preg_replace_callback. eval() on the other hand has *some* valid use cases which can not be implemented in any other (sane) way.
Additionally it is much easier to create a vunerability with /e than it is with eval. Firstly many people don't understand PCRE well enough to distinguish whether a use of /e is safe or not. But more importantly the fact that addslashes() is applied to all substituted backreferences creates a false feeling of security (as seen above it can be easily circumvented.)
Overescaping of quotes
The application of addslashes on all substituted backreferences not only isn't helping security, but additionally also results in unexpected behavior when the input contains quotes:
addslashes always escapes both quote types, but only one of them needs escaping (e.g. in double quoted strings only " should be escaped and in single quoted strings only'should be escaped). This will result in one of the quote types to be overescaped. E.g. if Hallo 'World' is passed into the above function the result would be HALLO \'WORLD\' (note the additional backslashes).
This behavior makes /e unusable in many cases (or people just use it anyways, without knowing that it is broken).
Use as obfuscation in exploit scripts
Various exploit scripts use the /e modifier to obfuscate their intention. Some examples from a quick SO search:
This obfuscation hides scripts from grep-like searches (as preg_replace is usually considered a "good" function). Additionally - as you can see in the second link - it is possible to obfuscate the use of the /e modifier itself, making it even harder to find.
Obviously the use by exploit scripts is not bad per se (most exploit scripts also use echo and we better keep that), so don't put too much weight on this argument ;)
The /e modifier has little to no valid uses but imposes a rather big security risk. As it can in any case be replaced by a callback there would be no loss in functionality.
The vote ended with 23 in favor and 4 against the proposal.
Current state
The /e modifier has been deprecated in trunk in _URL_ It will be removed at some later point in time.

Q:What's a fetish, and how does someone develop one?
A:A fetish is a condition in which someone is sexually fixated on an inanimate object, such as high heels or lingerie, or a nongenital body part, and has to touch, rub, smell, or see the object in order to become aroused and climax. Though no one is certain what causes a fetish, it's believed to affect mostly men and likely begins when sexual excitement is inadvertently linked to the object.
Of course, lots of men — and women — are turned on by various parts of the body and things like sexy underwear. But, they don't need them to become aroused, which is what separates an attraction from a fetish.
As long as a person with a fetish (called a fetishist) is still interested in having intimate relations, and he has an understanding and willing partner, the object of desire can be incorporated into their sexual repertoire.

The giant turn-of-the-century water meter displayed at the Quemahoning Reservoir's family recreational area is "symbolic of the immense impact that the dam has had in the region," said James Greco, Cambria Somerset Authority chairman.
The 40-foot-long pipe-like device measured the flow of billions of gallons of water to the Johnstown steel mills for nearly 100 years without a single failure, he said at a dedication ceremony Friday for the Venturi Meter Historic Display and Museum. To produce one ton of steel, it took 271 tons of water.
The museum houses photographs, documents and multimedia displays detailing the construction and history of the dam. Greco called the displays the first generation. Members of the Cambria Somerset Authority, the owners of the Que, hope that visitors will add to the display with more pictures and artifacts.
On Friday more than two dozen county officials and business representatives strolled down the hill from the pavilion where the dedication ceremony had been held. Numerous families were setting up campsites nearby. Adults and children laughed and called to each other as they frolicked in the roped-off water area or soaked up the sun on the small beach.
"On Memorial Day we counted 85 kids at one time in the water at the beach," Greco said.
Last summer there were 15,000 visitor days, and this year it looks like that number may be surpassed, he said.
Greco called projects like the meter and museum a "critical draw" for visitors to the historic and recreational area.
Greco and Somerset County Commissioner Jim Marker spoke at the dedication, along with John M. McGrath, associate professor at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, who produced the meter and museum multimedia display.
In the early 1900s the Venturi Meter was used to measure the water flowing to Johnstown's mills. At that time it was the largest meter built on the East Coast. It was designed to operate with no moving parts, he said. At its greatest diameter, the meter is as tall as the average American woman, or 64 inches.
"There are so many layers of history," McGrath said of the reservoir.
The six layers begin with the Native Americans, who named the area, which translated means "the lick in the pines," he said. Other layers include early settlers, steel mills and the building of a water resource for industrial and recreational growth and for increasing the quality of life for local residents with quality drinking water, he said.
"The last layer is probably the most promising because it is open ended," McGrath said.
Marker agreed, stating that "the best history of this dam lies in the future."
He said the reservoir will continue to be an economic generator for the area.
The meter and museum cost approximately $40,000, with funding donated by 1st Summit Bank of Johnstown, the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies, Cambria Somerset Authority, Summer's Best 2 Weeks, Somerset Trust Co. and L.R. Kimball, the Ebensburg engineering firm.
The Somerset County Tourism Grant Program also contributed to the financing of the project. Representatives of all the contributors attended the dedication.

Child tax credits are hitting bank accounts: How far does the money go in Burlington?
April Barton
Burlington Free Press
View Comments
Some Vermont families have begun receiving a $3,600 child tax credit. Just how far does that money go in the Burlington area?
The average amount people in the Burlington-South Burlington area spend on monthly household bills (not including rent or mortgage) is $1,090, according to Doxo, a bill pay management app that compiled bill pay information for metro areas across the country. So, a full child tax credit for one kid could help Vermont families alleviate three months' worth of bills.
Put another way, if families were to put the money toward paying one bill in particular, it would cover nine months of utilities (average cost of $395), about two years of health insurance (average cost of $141), or about two and a half years of cable and internet bills (average cost of $118).
Households in the Burlington-South Burlington area pay 7.3% more than the national average for monthly bills, which amount to 18.9% of their household income.
Monthly child tax credits:Payments start Thursday. Here's what to know
How the expanded child tax credits work
Households could receive up to $3,600 per child 5 years old and younger and $3,000 per child 6 and older.
The full amounts of $3,600 or $3,000 are eligible to those who make $75,000 or less for single taxpayers and $150,000 or less for joint filers. The payment is reduced by $50 for every $1,000 of income above those limits. Payments are made monthly for six months and then families can claim the other half when filing their 2021 income tax return.
A family receiving the full $3,600 benefit for a 5-year-old would receive $300 a month for the next 6 months and claim the other $1,800 on their taxes. A family receiving the full $3,000 benefit for a 10-year-old would get $250 a month for that child for six months and then claim the remaining $1,500 while filing their 2021 taxes.

Mixer Innovations
The modern industry of masonry is nothing like the way it was 100 or even 10 years ago. With innovations and advancements happening virtually every year, the industry continues to see improvements in productivity, efficiency, and technique. However, none of these improvements would be possible without the inventions and techniques that make modern masonry what it is today.
Mixer Innovations
A masonry project would be nothing without the right tools and materials, and that's why innovations in mixers have played such a pivotal role in the industry. Previously, contractors had to mix mortar and concrete in large drum mixers that tumbled and mixed the materials. This was a slow process relative to modern techniques that allow for meeting much tighter deadlines. These innovations include mixers powered by hydraulics that pack a much more powerful punch and can mix more efficiently. Older mixers must also be high off the ground to dump contents, while modern mixers often incorporate hydraulic cylinders that raise the drum, reducing the laborer's effort and increasing efficiency.
Defense Against the Elements
Often, masonry buildings can be described as "breathing," as they absorb moisture and expel vapor over time. Although this adds charm to some projects, it can also lead to long-term damage. Since water or ice can damage masonry buildings, modern masonry has developed to help reduce this harm in the restoration of masonry buildings. By adding flashings at parapets or windowsills, modern innovations can reroute the water and prevent damage. Modern masonry also incorporates moisture barriers, trapping moisture and defending even historical buildings from the elements.
Modern masonry has come a long way thanks to recent advances and improvements. If you're in need of restoration services for a masonry building, contact Soumar Masonry Restoration, Inc. today.

The House bill would make available an additional $1.9 billion over FY2007 and the Senate bill an additional $1.35 billion. Bread for the World is urging Congress to finalize a spending bill that, at a minimum, includes the $1.9 billion increase in poverty-focused development assistance approved by the House. This additional funding will enable the U.S. to honor its commitments to developing countries, such as doing our share to achieve the U.N. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). We are particularly concerned about two accounts funded at higher levels by the House than by the Senate: Development Assistance and the Millennium Challenge Account (MCA). Both are focused on long-term anti-poverty initiatives, which are vital to ending hunger in poor countries. ACTION: The U.S. is not on track to keep its commitments made to the worldâ€™s poorest people. The U.S. needs to provide significantly more resources for poverty-focused development assistance. Long-term development deserves increased attention.

Sox is based on my Korean cultural heritage influenced by attitudes in the USA. The artworks look like cute Valentine's Day socks, but these typical American holiday icons, a bear, a heart, and a green frog, actually refer to individual Korean myths and cultural stereotypes.
In "Which Part of NO Don't You Understand?" the text is combined with the image of a heart. It is based on a sentimental Valentine's day cheesiness which contrasts with a New York, street smart, feminist attitude.
In "What Is My Social Responsibility As A Korean Artist?" the text of the work's title is combined with the image of a teddy bear. It attempts to question the fundamental roll of an artist in society which contrasts with the simple and cartoonish visuals.
It is based on the Korean myth of the "Tale of Tangun," which explains the origin of Korean women and Korean culture. According to this myth a bear became the first Korean women by praying and eating only garlic for 100 days in a cave. The cute teddy bear is a reference to this myth. This work explores what it means to be a Korean woman artist in the cultural mix of the present.
In "Why Do You Have To Be A Green Frog?" the text is combined with the image of a cartoon frog. The text is an English translation of a common Korean phrase which means "why do you have to be a rebel?" and is very similar to the American idea of being a "black sheep" – somebody who is different and doesn't fit in with the crowd. It is also something that my mom used to tell me.
In the west, a green frog represents romance, like the frog who when kissed, turns into a prince. In Korea, a green frog is rare and considered to be bad luck if you catch it or kill it. It appears in a Korean children's story where the green frog gets into trouble by not obeying his parents. Korean children are supposed to learn a lesson about the value of obedience and conformity from this story.
Sox explores the interplay between globalized mass commercial production and contemporary art practice by using traditional Korean icons that are reinterpreted as American Hallmark style designs.

Terminology as a set of concept carriers crystallizes our special knowledge about a subject. Automatic term recognition (ATR) plays a critical role in the processing and management of various kinds of information, knowledge and documents, e.g., knowledge acquisition via text mining. Measuring termhood properly is one of the core issues involved in ATR. This article presents a novel approach to termhood measurement for mono-word terms via corpus comparison, which quantifies the termhood of a term candidate as its rank difference in a domain and a background corpus. Our ATR experiments to identify legal terms in Hong Kong (HK) legal texts with the British National Corpus (BNC) as background corpus provide evidence to confirm the validity and effectiveness of this approach. Without any prior knowledge and ad hoc heuristics, it achieves a precision of 97.0% on the top 1000 candidates and a precision of 96.1% on the top 10% candidates that are most highly ranked by the termhood measure, illustrating a state-of-the-art performance on mono-word ATR in the field.

Here we report the discovery and characterisation of a new species of Phytomonas, named Phytomonas oxycareni n. sp., which was obtained from the salivary glands of the invasive species of true bug Oxycarenus lavaterae (Heteroptera). The new Phytomonas species exhibits a long slender promastigote morphology and can be found both within the lumen of the insect host's salivary glands as well as within the cells of the salivary gland itself. Sampling multiple individuals from the same population post-winter hibernation on two consecutive years revealed that infection was persistent over time. Finally, phylogenetic analyses of small subunit ribosomal RNA genes revealed that this species is sister to other species within the genus Phytomonas, providing new insight into the evolutionary history of the clade.

Context and research headlines
Since the introduction of the reformed, decoupled AS and A level qualifications, we've become aware of an increasing preference within schools for a two-year linear A level delivery model. This has been especially true in particular subjects and our research to date tells us that this movement towards A level is likely to continue.
In looking into this, we've heard a number of common reasons for the shift away from AS qualifications. These include:
- AS 'not counting' towards an A level grade
- distinct coursework (or speaking assessments) at AS and A level
- the volume of content of the reformed A levels
- time and budgetary constraints.
Teachers have also told us that they have seen the following benefits for students in focusing on a two-year A level-only course in these particular subjects:
- more time for students to engage with their subject
- more space to consider the content more deeply
- a longer development time for the necessary skills
- the opportunity to develop both breadth and depth of subject coverage
- less exam and/or coursework preparation and revision throughout the first year of the A level course.


RRSP Calculator to Calculate RRSP Deductions and Earnings
 - 3 min read
RRSP Calculators are an easy method to calculate the amount of money an individual will have by retirement. There are many different calculators on the Internet to determine how much an individual should save to make a certain amount after retirement. Almost every major bank and financial institution has a RRSP calculator on their website. These calculators can be invaluable tools in determining the RRSP contribution limits, tax breaks, the end result of how much the RRSP will be earning and how much it will provide during retirement.
The RRSP contribution limits are still in place; thus the tax breaks are limited. The RRSP contribution calculator will determine the individual's tax savings. This depends on the province, the income of the individual, the RRSP contribution amount and if there is any RRSP over contribution. The calculator will then determine the approximate tax savingsbased solely on the RRSP contribution and income of the individual.
This can give an individual an approximate idea of how much of a tax saving they will receive after filing their taxes, or how much the individual should contribute to offset any money owing to the government.
View RRSP Calculator.
RRSP Retirement Calculator
The RRSP retirement calculator can be used to determine the effects of RRSP contributions on retirement income. The individual can also calculate the amount needed for retirement and how much is needed to be saved until that time.
It takes into account the contribution rate of the individual with options from weekly contributions to yearly contributions. The interest rate and inflation rate will be taken into account when determining the amount needed for retirement.
The calculator will take into account the years left until planned retirement and the years after retirement that the money will have to last. This calculator can be found on the websites of many major financial institutions or investment companies.
View RRSP Calculator.
These calculators can be used to calculate how much money needs to be saved to accomplish the life goals of the individual. There are many ways to use the calculators and each different calculator will take different variables into account.
Check the inflation and interest rates of different institutions as they may be different. The most effective method of using the calculators is to determine the amount of money that is needed upon retirement and work backwards to determine the amount that should be contributed during the working career of the individual.
When working backwards, if an amount is set and contributions are steady, the calculator will perform as expected. The final factor to consider: as yearly earnings change, adjustments can be made. Hopefully increased.
Any unused space in the RRSP contribution limit can be carried over into subsequent years.

Purpose: To report a case of progressive outer retinal necrosis (PORN) presenting as a cherry red spot. Methods: Case report. Results: A 53-year-old woman with recently diagnosed HIV and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) aseptic meningitis developed rapid sequential vision loss in both eyes over 2 months. Her exam showed a "cherry red spot" in both maculae with peripheral atrophy and pigmentary changes, consistent with PORN. Due to her late presentation and the rapid progression of her condition, she quickly developed end-stage vision loss in both eyes. Conclusions: PORN should be considered within the differential diagnosis of a "cherry red spot." Immune-deficient patients with a history of herpetic infection who present with visual loss warrant prompt ophthalmological evaluation.

Why No Explosion?Science brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
It is scientific fact that if all else is held constant, the pressure of a gas varies directly with its temperature. In other words, if you have a gas in a sealed, insulated, rigid container and you double its temperature, its pressure will also double. If you triple the temperature, the pressure will triple, etc. This is not EXACTLY true, but it is close enough for the purpose of this teaser.
Why is it, then, that if I were to fill my tires with 32 psi of air on a day that is 2 degrees Celsius, the tires won't explode if the temperature later increases to 20 degrees Celsius (which would seemingly increase the pressure 10-fold to 320 psi, well beyond the capacity of most tires)?
Assume that the temperature of the air in the tire always matches the temperature outdoors: it starts at 2 degrees and ends at 20 degrees.
Also ignore the fact that the tires will expand.
HintThis problem is really more mathematical than scientific. Here's a hint: say you have a temperature of -10 degrees Celsius. Now double that temperature. You get -20 degrees. Doesn't it seem a little odd that when you double something's temperature that it actually goes DOWN?? When you double something's LENGTH, it never goes DOWN. What's wrong here?
AnswerLike the hint implies, the key to this teaser is understanding what you are really doing when you multiply numbers. For example, if you have the number 3 on a number line and you want to double it, what you could do is put your thumb at 0 and your index finger at 3, and then measure off that distance past 3 one time, which will of course bring you to 6. You are essentially doubling the distance that 3 is from 0 to get 6. The only reason this works, however, is because at 0 you really have ZERO length. 0 really means "nothing" in this case. With the Celsius temperature scale, however, 0 degrees does not mean that you have "no temperature". 0 degrees was chosen arbitrarily to coincide with the freezing point of water. Other than that, it has no real significance. So if you want to multiply 2 degrees C by 10, you have to increase its distance from ABSOLUTE zero by 10, not its distance from the arbitrary 0.
Absolute zero is about -273 degrees C. At this point, there really is "no temperature". So when the temperature in the problem goes from 2 degrees to 20 degrees, it is really going a "distance" of 275 degrees from zero to a distance of 293 degrees from zero, which is only an increase of 6.5 percent, not enough to make your tires explode.
The moral of this story is that if you want to multiply numbers, the numbers themselves must represent their "distance" from a true zero. You can add and subtract numbers without knowing this "distance", but you can't multiply and divide.

In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, recruited characters have support conversations with other members of Byleth's house. These conversations flesh out the backstories and develop the relationships between multiple characters. Although the students have great support conversations with each other, they have equally insightful, funny, and clever support conversations with the church staff as well.
RELATED: Fire Emblem: 5 Ways Three Houses Is The Best Entry (& 5 It's Awakening)
Most of the staff are a little older than the students, so they usually have some kind of wisdom to impart. However, their lessons are not always entirely successful. The staff also learn a lot from the students, learning to pursue their dreams or finding new ways to give back to the world.
10 Seteth Motivated Hilda To Be Less Lazy
Hilda And Seteth speak about making books
At first, Hilda did whatever she could to avoid Seteth, who would always find an embarrassingly roundabout way to tell her to stop being lazy. It didn't work, so he told her a story that he wrote for Flayn, about a hardworking squirrel and a lazy fox who suffered since it didn't gather anything for the winter.
Although Hilda initially brushed off the story as something cute, she motivated Seteth to write more stories for children, while she drew pictures to accompany them. In their shared ending, these stories were extremely beloved.
9 Bernadetta Only Fled From Seteth Once
Seteth and Bernadetta discuss their book's illustrations
Although this sounds entirely unimpressive, Bernadetta only ran from Seteth one time. It was not uncommon for her to run away from people, as she had a difficult time socializing with others. Seteth seemed to know how to make her relax in later encounters, telling her stories about Saint Indech, who was similar to Bernadetta.
RELATED: Fire Emblem Three Houses: 10 Characters Who Should Be Recruited (If You Play Verdant Wind)
Saint Indech was an accomplished man, and Seteth told her that it would be possible for her to achieve great things even if she kept to herself. The two eventually got married, but Bernadetta remained a recluse, which Seteth never seemed to mind.
8 Hanneman Told Edelgard Why He Was Obsessed With Crests
Edelgard and Hanneman talk about his sister
On the surface, Hanneman appeared to like Crests. He was constantly focused on his research and got excited whenever he discovered something new. Even Edelgard was initially wary of Hanneman, and dug into his past.
Hanneman didn't seem to mind it, and confessed that his goal was to give everyone a Crest, which would have the same effect as Edelgard's goal to do away with all Crests. He was only so devoted to his research because he didn't want anyone to suffer like his sister did, who was married off in the hopes of bearing children with Crests.
7 Ferdinand Showered Manuela With The Praise She Deserved
Manuela thanks Ferdinand for his kind words
Manuela was used to having no luck with men, which was a frequent cause of her misery. When Ferdinand praised her singing skills in such a direct way, Manuela had a hard time believing the sincerity of his words.
RELATED: Fire Emblem Three Houses: 5 Characters Every Player Should Recruit (& Five That Aren't Worth It)
She believed that she was past her prime, and did not have the skills that she did years ago. However, it clearly touched her that he was so inspired by her song and sword dance, and the two were happily married right after he became a Duke.
6 Dimitri Actually Laughed At Alois' Jokes
Dimitri laughs at a bad joke
Alois told jokes that were so terrible that they were often met with groans or stony silence. However, he managed to make Dimitri laugh, which shocked everyone who saw it.
Dimitri didn't acknowledge the jokes as good, but stated that they were funny because they were so bad. Not knowing how to respond to Dimitri's laughter, the other soldiers felt like they had no choice but to awkwardly join in.
5 Mercedes Helped Alois With His Fear Of Ghosts
Alois asks Mercedes not to tell too scary of a story
Alois went to Mercedes to ask her for help, as she was known for her ghost stories. He was terrified of ghosts, and wished to hear a few of her stories to get over his fear. At the beginning, he never felt mentally prepared, and would nearly faint before the stories were even complete.
However, he got better at handling his fear thanks to her stories, despite her slightly sadistic promises to find him scarier stories each time. In their shared ending, Alois was known as a fearless knight, thanks to her help.
4 Alois Tricked Leonie Into Inheriting Jeralt's Debt
Leonie regrets becoming Jeralt's successor
Leonie would often approach Alois and ask him to tell her a story about Jeralt. She really admired Jeralt, and despite the fact that Jeralt did plenty of horrible things in the stories, her view of Jeralt never changed.
Alois buttered Leonie up until she agreed to be Jeralt's successor, leading to Alois gleefully bestowing upon her the massive debt Jeralt owed to multiple bars. Alois had been paying for it for ages, so he was more than happy to make it someone else's problem.
3 Shamir Taught Raphael How To Be More Sneaky
Raphael attempts breathing exercises
Raphael asked Shamir to teach him how to hide his presence the same way that she does. She told him that he had too much presence, and showed him a breathing exercise to help him conceal himself. He practiced what she taught him, but his breathing sounded like the ragged, desperate gasps of air of a fish above land.
He eventually managed to sneak up on her, which impressed her enough for her to take him with her on a scouting mission.
2 Ashe & Cyril Developed A Wholesome Friendship
Cyril finds Ashe after hearing he went missing
Cyril had a hard time accepting help from anyone, given that he felt that he had to work hard to earn his place at the monastery. Ashe insisted on helping him regardless, which Cyril discovered he was thankful for.
Ashe offered to be Cyril's friend, and said that they would help each other. Cyril took this to heart, and grew to care for Ashe, enough to abandon his post when he heard that Ashe had gone missing.
1 Lysithea Taught Cyril How To Read
Lysithea tells Cyril she's bappy too
Lysithea was the type who wanted to prove that she was an adult capable of taking care of herself. She insisted on helping Cyril carry a log, but naturally, she failed at such a difficult task. She later learned that Cyril never learned how to read.
She gladly helped him, and Cyril made fast progress. He even wrote her a letter to thank her, which made her happy. Lysithea and Cyril enjoyed spending time together, to the point where they eventually got married after he became a soldier.

At the turn of the century, in 1799 and 1800. Birch and his son Thomas issued a series of engraved views of Philadelphia that provide a remarkable record of the most attractive and the most enterprising of eighteenth-century American cities. At the time the Birches pictured it, the junction of Second and High streets (left) marked the heart of Philadelphia. Distances from the city to other places were measured from this intersection. In another view (above) they recorded the procession commemorating the death of Washington as it passed by the country market place on High Street. The Arch Street Ferry is shown below.

Tokyo - Activities | Fill the gap answer
Last modified:
Activities with "Fill the gap answers" allow students to complete texts filling blank fields.
This type of activity is divided in three areas:
B. Answer area. This field is used to write a text including gaps for words that students must insert to complete them.
C. Feedback. It is possible to configure some positive feedback and negative feedback related to questions. Apart from text, feedback can also include an image.
Setup process
 - Step 1. Set up activity properties
 - Step 2. Set up the wording
 - Step 3. Set up the answer area
 - Step 4. Advanced layout design: how to add columns
 - Step 5. Configure feedback
Step 1. Set up activity properties
Activity title.
The following formula is used to calculate scores for Fill the gap activities: number of correct options / total number of options.
For example, if an activity has 5 options or gaps and students choose 3 correct options: 3/5= 0,6 = 60%.
Distinguish upper case/lower case
This property allows us to determine if students should distinguish between upper case and lower case when writing. The options are:
 - No: With this option, it does not matter whether students use upper case or lower case. So, they can write "house", "HOUSE", hOUSE", "House", etc. For example, for proper names these types of spellings are accepted: "New York", "new york", "new York", "NEW YORK"... This makes completing activities easier for students, as they do not need to pay attention to spelling rules.
 - Yes: With this option, students must write words with an exact spelling (the same spelling used when editing). For example, if we want students to write "New York", they should spell it that way; no variations will be admitted ("new york", "new York", etc). This option is useful when spelling accuracy is important for student assessment.
Distinguish accents
This property allows choosing if it is required to write word(s) using correct accent marks.
 - No: With this option, presence or absence of accent marks will not be penalised. So, the word "canción" (which means "song" in Spanish) will also be admitted without its accent mark "cancion".
 - Yes: With this option, students must write words exactly as described in wordings. So, the word "canción" will only be admitted if written with accent mark.
Ignore special characters
This field allows us to indicate the special characters that are not considered when marking an answer as valid. So, we could ignore full stops, commas and similar characters.
If students wrote "I want this, but can't have it.", we could consider that there is no need to include a full stop or a comma. So, the option "I want this but can't have it" would be admitted.
Step 2. Set up the wording
1. Write a text for the wording of the question (see here setup options available for texts).
2. Optionally, you can add more components within the wording. Make sure you select the wording (you will easily find it with the breadcrumb trail) before going to the "Add" tab and include the components you need.
Step 3. Set up the answer area
3. There is a text field below the wording. You should write the phrase or content that we want to include. Then, put the cursor over the text area where you want to add a gap. Go to the text editor, click on the "Components" menu and add an "Option". A gap is automatically added inside the text.
4. We can configure options clicking on each gap and going to the "Properties" tab to adjust the following fields:
We should use this property to indicate the right word that students must use to fill the gap. It is important to say that students must write exactly what is written inside this field; otherwise, their answer will not be marked as correct. However, this rule will not be applied if we have decided the lack of accent marks is not penalised.
If we want to offer more than one correct option, we should write options separated by two characters || (key combination for this is Ctrl+Alt+1). For example:
By default, all blank spaces appear with a "Normal" view, that is, each gap has the same size of the word replaced by it. If we want to edit this size, we select the "Editable width" view.
So, if we leave gaps as they are shown by default ("Normal" view), we will be giving hints about the size of word(s) that students need to use. However, we could avoid this using the "Editable width" view to leave the same blank space for every gap.
Size (number of letters)
This property is enabled if we choose the "Editable width" "View". We will adjust the gap size. This is measured according to the number of letters. So, for the word "team", its minimum width would be 4.
Step 4. Advanced layout design: how to add columns
Normally wordings and texts are enough to configure activities correctly, but sometimes we want to add especial elements (images, audios, etc.) and create more complex layout designs. We can add "Columns" to create these layouts.Columns can be inserted anywhere: after wordings, after answer options, etc.
Within a column, we can add different elements: images audios, videos, texts, etc. From the "Properties" tab, we can configure properties like "Size", "Offset" and "It's the last column".
It's the last column
Use of columns allows creating complex layouts. For example, we could add various audios and texts to complete. The example below shows two columns. Each column occupies 5 spaces and includes an audio file and a text where students need to fill the blanks. Furthermore, offset for the second column is "1", which allows leaving some space between both columns.
Step 5. Configure feedback

Southwest Lower Michigan Weather History
The Weather History for January 18th
- Extreme cold weather prevails across the eastern United States. In Lower Michigan, a temperature of 28 degrees below zero was reported in Grand Rapids.
- Arctic air and deep snow results in record cold across interior Lower Michigan. The temperature plunges to 25 below zero at Lansing and 20 below at Jackson. Along Lake Michigan, clouds and an onshore flow keep lows from falling below zero. The low of 10 above at Muskegon is 35 degrees warmer than the low at Lansing.
- A blizzard moving through the Dakotas pulls warm air up over Michigan. Record highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s are followed by a line of heavy rain and severe thunderstorms. At least one weak tornado is spawned by the squall line, which is quickly followed by a blast of arctic air and rain changing to snow. Rapids snowmelt and heavy rains, followed by a quick freeze, leads to many areas of ice jam flooding.

Guest Blog – EquityEdit: Expanding Access to Biomedical Innovations
This guest blog entry is from Duncan Smith-Rohrberg Maru, an
MD/PhD student at the Yale University School of
Medicine. Duncan describes
the recently launched non-profit organization, EquityEdit, which aims to expand
access to the research literature for authors whose first language is not
English, whilst also contributing funding to health initiatives in developing
is a new non-profit organization that capitalizes on the expanding market for
high-quality technical editing to generate sustainable funding for innovations
in global public health. In partnership with for-profit biomedical editing
companies, we recruit and train scientists from diverse backgrounds to edit
portion of the compensation they earn is then donated to small, innovative,
financing. Additionally, in exchange for the value-added EquityEdit provides to
for-profit partners in terms of public relations, personnel management,
marketing, and technical innovations, its for-profit partners provide an
additional donation as a percentage of the revenue from each order. Through
this means, EquityEdit improves access to biomedical innovations on two fronts:
on the one hand by improving communication among scientists from
non-English-speaking countries and on the other by delivering sustainable and
flexible financing to healthcare organizations delivering medical and public
health interventions to the global poor.
globalization of science through a primarily English-language medium has left
scientists from non-English-speaking countries at a distinct disadvantage in
communicating their research. Despite the expansion of scientific editing
companies, the demand for editing services outstrips the supply. A major issue
faced by editing companies is finding talented, reliable editors with sufficient
biomedical and scientific backgrounds to provide services to their clients. At
the same time, scientists desire to see the fruits of their research borne in
resource-poor countries. While scientists tend to be knowledgeable about and
sympathetic to global health issues, they lack avenues to allow them to make a
real contribution to global public health. The EquityEdit model provides them
the opportunity to apply their highly valued scientific expertise to a task that
provides a specific monetary value—on the order of $40-$100 per hour—to their
services, while contributing the remaining editing profits to a medical relief
the EquityEdit mechanism provides sustainable, long-term financing to innovative
global public health organizations. While numerous mechanisms do exist for
global health financing, few opportunities are available for small, innovative
enterprises to develop novel solutions to pressing public health problems.
EquityEdit chooses beneficiaries with transparent and open practices so that
editors can monitor the way in which the donations they generate are used to
create social change.
maximize revenue to participating non-profit beneficiaries, the management team
of EquityEdit remains all-volunteer. Since these volunteers are unpaid, other
incentives exist to create a sustainable management structure. The primary
incentive is their desire to fundraise for the nonprofit beneficiary. To
facilitate this, a major criteria for an EquityEdit beneficiary (in addition to
being small, innovative, pro-poor) is that they have at least one executive or
board member who is qualified and interested in improving EquityEdit. This is a
key aspect of developing a sustainable model that doesn't require a paid
executive director, since the beneficiary executive would be significantly
invested in the financial success of EquityEdit. Once a non-profit joins, the
goal would be to quickly expand to and sustain annual revenue streams of
$100,000 for the non-profit. This revenue would continue for at least five
years, during which time the point-person at the non-profit would be expected to
engage in improving EquityEdit.
In addition to recruiting and
training a team of experienced editors, EquityEdit provides for profit partners
with value-added in marketing and in IT innovations that produce greater
efficiencies. EquityEdit harnesses the efficiency of the market, the reach of
the internet, and the power of self-interested goodwill. Importantly,
EquityEdit reduces costs, increases exposure, and offers tax incentives to
for-profit editing businesses, which makes engaging in this charitable activity
good for their bottom line. The exact proportion of funds distributed to the
editing company, editor, and non-profit beneficiary is set by a contractual
arrangement between the company and editor.
There are several present opportunities to get involved with
or contribute to EquityEdit.
Corporate Partnerships
If you work for a corporation that might benefit from a
collaboration with EquityEdit, please contact editor(AT)equityedit(DOT)org.
Volunteer Leadership Positions
To further improve our model, we are looking for individuals
with backgrounds in marketing, social enterprise, biomedicine, technical
editing, and public health. Please contact editor(AT)equityedit(DOT)org if
interested in joining our team, providing a one-paragraph cover email detailing
your relevant background and interests in EquityEdit.
Paid Editors
If you are interested in becoming a paid editor, please apply
at Note that you must have
significant first-author publication experience to be considered as an editor.
We are also looking for scientists who are conversant in Japanese who can act as
translators. Please apply through the same applicant portal.

From telescopes to the Erie Canal, to planes, trains and automobiles, technological innovations have long been incorporated into wallpaper designs. With cast iron reaching new aesthetic and structural heights in architecture beginning in the 1850s, it made sense to capture its more decorative aspect in a wallpaper design. This paper highlights views of New York City architectural landmarks including Trinity Church, Federal Hall, Exchange Place, Grace Church, and Castle Garden, with each view enclosed within a decorative cast iron framework. Flowering vines are entwined around the support columns. A narrow border fragment is still attached at the top edge with the border colors matching those found in the sidewall paper. The format of this design is quite typical for the period but the normal framing elements of scrolling foliage and wood moldings have here been replaced with decorative cast iron. While the maker of this paper is unknown it is appropriate that the cast iron design incorporates New York City landmarks as there were numerous cast iron foundries in New York City. The SoHo (South of Houston) district of New York City contains possibly the largest collection of cast iron architecture in the world.
With origins dating back to ancient China, cast iron was not a new material at this time but there was a boom in its use for architecture. Refinements in its production allowed the material to be used as a structural element in large building projects beginning in the late eighteenth century, while its cheapness and availability in the 1850s led to its increased use in architecture. Support columns made of cast iron were more slender than those of masonry supporting a similar weight, which created more usable interior space, and also allowed for larger, more decorative windows when used on the exterior.

Designing a metering system
From Electrical Installation Guide
This article intends to describe a method to design the energy measurement system of a commercial building.
The scope of this article covers all WAGES consumptions in "non critical" buildings. Critical buildings such as hospitals, data centers have specific requirements regarding power quality that are not covered here.
The method involves 2 steps :
The step Project Definition shall be realized with the future users of the system and lead to define what are the performance metrics that will be part of the users dashboards.
Step 2 : Design of the different components of the measurement system
The purpose of the measurement system design is to ensure that the data collected will correspond to the desired analysis and results. This will allow the operation managers to monitor & control the building according to their objectives.
This will help to avoid :
- insufficient data to enable building consumptions analysis
- Too much measured and collected data that are never used. However the investment cost to collect these data and the data storage cost is not negligible and could have been used for other energy efficiency actions.
This step is split in 2 parts :
- Define the points of measurement
Some examples of usual point of measurements for:
- Select the meters
- Select the electrical meters
- Select the gas meters
- Select the water meters
- Select the heat and cold meters
- Select the temperature sensors

Technology never ceases to amaze, and when it is used to aid people, it's even better. Well, some scientists recently published in the Journal of Breath Research that they've managed find a way to detect human survivors who are caught underneath rubble after a disaster using a sensor. The sensor works by analyzing the contents of the air that leaks from the rubble.
Because the air that we breathe out contains carbon dioxide, ammonia, acetone and isoprene, the detectors need to just detect those gasses in an area know that there's someone buried underneath. With this sensor, the scientists hope to develop an "electronic sniffer dog" that could be used to search disaster sites for any survivors.
But don't expect them to replace your regular rescue dogs – these robot sniffers will be complementing them instead of taking over. Dogs do their jobs well, but they can't work long hours and they risk the chance of getting injured while moving through the site, robots can do what they can't but on the other hand, robots don't have such problems but they do have problems with maneuverability, so this allows them to work hand in hand.Follow:Robotsrobotsmellsnifftechnology

Do you find yourself shopping to make yourself feel better? If you use retail therapy to lift your mood, it won't be long before you accumulate clutter in your home (hidden or not).
It is a vicious cycle because your clutter will lead you to feel poorly again.
Instead of going shopping and buying things to boost your mood, try a different way to treat yourself and feel better at the same time.
Feel better without retail therapy by trying one or more of these ideas:
- Get some fresh air and spend some time in nature.
- Go for a walk.
- Curl up in a cozy spot and read a book.
- Get creative. Work on a craft, doodle, take pictures or write.
- Spend time doing a hobby.
- Visit a museum or zoo.
- Have a spa day. Take a bubble bath or do your nails.
- Watch a movie.
- Spend time with close family and friends.
- Have a game night with popcorn or other fun snacks.
- Give yourself a 5-minute, 10-minute, or even 15-minute break and just do nothing.
- Meditate, practice yoga, or exercise.
- Bake your favorite dessert.
- Buy a plant or some flowers to decorate your home.
- Reorganize the furniture in a room for a fresh look.
What did I miss? How do you help yourself feel better?

Chris Hadfield in his cover of Space Oddity, shot and recorded in space. Photo / Supplied
By now you may have seen Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield's video of his version of Space Oddity, the David Bowie song, shot and recorded in space.
Hadfield has been credited with making space interesting again, with his twitter and Facebook commentaries, posting videos on YouTube and taking beautiful photos of Earth (including some lovely shots from far above New Zealand). He's a character, obviously, and one who communicates as adroitly as a teenager - in transmedia.
Commander Hadfield had been up there since December 21st last year, and his team (Expedition 35) docked with the ISS after a two-day flight aboard a Soyuz TMA-07M. His most popular video had over 7.5 million views, with several more in the millions or hundreds of thousands, until Space Oddity which had surpassed 11 million views when I checked. More than a million people followed the commander's Twitter and Facebook accounts.
Gizmodo has posted a'supercut' of 100 seconds of his video efforts.
Hadfield is back on Terra firma now. Pavel Vinogradov has taken over as the International Space Sation commander, helping the three astronauts into the Soyuz capsule. And while Hadfield could have done all the transmedia he did with Windows' based laptops and Android tablets and smartphones, he didn't - the astronaut used an iPad.
In recording his many video transmissions from space, Hadfield used an iPad as a teleprompter thanks to the Teleprompt+ app. The Bowie song was recorded in space using Hadfield's iPad with Apple's GarageBand app, but the video was actually edited back on Earth by his son Evan.
Of course, iDevices have been in space before. There were two iPhone 4s on the last shuttle mission in 2011.
The iPhones ran an experimental app called SpaceLab for iOS, designed by Odyssey Space Research. Once the space shuttle Atlantis docked with the International Space Station, crew members used the iPhones to conduct four experiments thanks to the iPhones' cameras, gyroscopes, and other sensors. The step-by-step instructions for each experiment were contained within the app, so the astronauts didn't need printed instructions to direct them.
But an iPhone had gone beyond the atmosphere before that: in 2010, Brooklyn-based cinematographer Luke Geissbuhler, assisted by his son, launched an iPhone 4 and an HD video camera into space using a weather balloon. The balloon was launched from Newburgh, New York, and climbed to nearly 32kms above the surface of Earth in an hour. The balloon then burst and the package containing the iPhone and the camera fell back to the ground on a parachute.
The father-son team tracked the package using the iPhone's GPS and found it in a tree 48 kilometres away. They then successfully extracted the video and edited it - some of the images are beautiful.
I even joked a few months ago that the Mars Curiosity was powered by an old iMac, Apple, which isn't strictly true. It is a PowerPC variant, and PowerPCs were Mac CPUs until Apple made the big switch to Intel. PowerPC, an Apple-Motorola-IBM project, were then used in the Xbox.
The two on-board Mars Rover computers are called Rover Compute Elements. They operate at a lowly peak of 200 megahertz and one works at a time to control the Curiosity's forays across the surface of the Red Planet. Each computer's memory includes 256KB of EEPROM, 256MB of DRAM, and 2GB of flash memory.
The Mars-faring electronic brains controlling NASA rover actually have far less horsepower than microchips found in current smart phones. An Apple A5 processor at 800MHz is fully four times more powerful than the 200MHz chip aboard Curiosity. The 512MB of RAM on the iPhone 4S doubles what Curiosity packs, and if you've got a 64GB phone, that's 32 times more storage than the rover. but the rover has a plutonium reactor which is maybe a more dangerous than an iPhone battery, but it lasts a lot longer.
The low-powered CPU's real challenges are in programming genuinely mission-critical software. Now that's lean coding! Ben Cichy, a senior software engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, told CNet "What's hard about this, my phone has a processor that's 10 times as fast as the processor that's on Curiosity and it has 16 times as much storage as Curiosity has and my phone doesn't have to land anything on Mars. All my phone has to do is follow (a) Twitter feed."
The main advantage of the RAD750 PowerPC microprocessor is that it's virtually impervious to high-energy cosmic rays that would quickly cripple most computer chips. Not that it's going to come back and rescue us after a nuclear incident. CNet has a lot more info about the details of the Mars Curiosity CPUs.
But are there Samsung Galaxys in the galaxy? Not that I know of. But it has to be kind of inevitable.

Example 4: An antenna tower is held in the vertical position with the help of three cables. The tensile force in cable AB is 2,000 lb, in AC is 2,500 lb, and in AD is 2,200 lb. Based on the geometry shown below, determine
Solution: We begin the analysis by drawing the known force vectors acting through point A for clarity.
Part a: We are given the magnitude of tension in each cable, but not its direction. So we begin by first calculating the unit vector associated with each force. To do this, we make use of the position vector measured from point A to each of the three base support points in xy plane. Knowing the coordinates A(0,0,100), B(-8,-30,0), C(25,40,0), and D(-35,10,0), we get
Next, we divide each position vector by its magnitude to find the corresponding unit vector.
With each unit vector known, we can express the tension in each cable as
Now, a simple vector addition will give us the resultant force vector
The magnitude of the resultant force is found as
The direction of the resultant force can be defined in terms of the unit vector in the same direction.
The unit vector indicates that the resultant force is very close to being completely in the -z direction. To check the validity of this result, we can go back and take a look at the individual forces found previously. When we look at the three forces, we find that not only all three have a negative z component, but that the z component in each case is much larger that the other two.
Part b: To find the angle between cables AB and AC, we use the dot product between any vector along AB with any vector along AC. Recall that the dot product between two vectors can be expressed as
where represents the angle between vectors and. Using the position vectors along AB and AC we find the desired angle as
Modification of Antenna Tower Design: Having done the force analysis, we can determine whether the tower will be held in the vertical position as was originally intended. And if not, what modifications can be made to it to keep it vertical.
A tower of this type is usually supported at its base by a ball and socket so that there is no moment at the base, and the cables can be adjusted to position the tower in the desired orientation.
Therefore, to keep the tower vertical, the direction of the resultant force has to be completely vertical (in the z direction). To achieve this objective, we must adjust the support cables. Since a force vector consists of both magnitude and direction, we can either adjust the magnitude of forces in the cables, or move the base end of one or more cables to change the direction of the resultant force.
Alternative 1:Let's consider the case of adjusting the tension in the cables with the help of turnbuckles. Also let us assume that a resultant force of 6,300 lb is acceptable in this case. Therefore, we can proceed as follows. The intent is to have the resultant force vector be defined as
Since we are keeping the direction of each cable force the same, we can write the cable force vectors as
we can write
This system of linear equations can be expressed in matrix form as
The solution of this matrix equation gives
As can be seen, a considerable tension increase in cable AB is needed to meet this objective.
If we find this change unacceptable, as the tension in cable AB may be greater than what it can handle, then we must consider moving the base point of one or more cables as discussed next.
Alternative 2: In this case, we will keep the cable forces as originally stated, and consider changing the location of point B to a point in xy plane such that the direction of the resultant force will be in the z axis.
We can start from the scalar equations
We know the magnitude of force in each cable. We also know the unit vectors in direction of AC, AD and R. Making the proper substitutions gives
In addition to the above equations we know that
From the solution of these four equations we get
Having found the components of the force vector in cable AB, we can express the unit vector along that cable as
Recognizing the equality of corresponding terms in the right sides of the two equations and the fact that point B is in xy plane, we can write
Comparing the new location of point B to that specified in the original problem, we see that it needs to be moved 1.56 ft more in the x direction but 37.12 ft more in the y direction.
It is important that we always be aware of such design issues as discussed in this example, and make rational decisions in modifying the design based on proper engineering analysis.

Best Way to Fix Exchange Jet Error 1018
Introduction: – Exchange Server is the mail and calendaring server developed by Microsoft to meet the internal communication need of small and medium scale organizations. It runs on the top Windows Server and follows the client-server architecture. In this article, I am going to tell about the way by which you can easily Fix 1018 jet_errreadverifyfailure error in Exchange Server. What are the reasons behind the Exchange Jet Error 1018? The manual as well automated way to solve and Fix Exchange Jet Error 1018.
Technical Overview on Exchange Jet Error 1018
The Exchange 1018 generally occurs when there is page-level corruption in Exchange EDB database file. The Page level corruption comes in Exchange database when the database is written to the disk, the checksum value of the page is calculated using the Mathematical formula and get stored in the header part of the Page. When we want to take backup of the database then checksum value is again calculated and matched with previously calculated value, if there is any redundancy in checksum value then page get corrupted. As a result of which you encountered the Exchange jet 1018 error.
The Possible Reasons for Exchange 1018 jet_errreadverifyfailure error
1. The Checksum Value Mismatch While Data Written to Disk
2. NTFS File System Error
3. Corrupt Data Written Up in the disk
4. At First Instance, Incorrect Checksum Value calculated and read by Exchange Server might be the cause of this error
5. Storing the Checksum Value to other location instead of Exact location required.
Note: – Before Proceeding the given methods please take the backup of Exchange Mailbox Data.
Ways to fix Exchange Jet Error 1018
There are Multiple ways to Exchange Server Jet Error. But I am Going to tell you the best from them which are easy and proficient
1. By Using Exchange Inbuilt Utility
There is inbuilt utility ESEUTIL available in Exchange Management Console to repair corruption issues in Exchange EDB database. The Powershell command to run this utility Eseutil /p. This will remove the damaged pages which cause the checksum error while trying to write data to disk.
2. Offline Defragmentation of Database
When you removes the damaged pages from then white space created automatically. To remove that white spaces we have to defragment the Exchange Mailbox using the Exchange utility Eseutil/d
3. Re-Indexing the B-tree Structure
When the defragmentation of Exchange Mailbox taken place then index of page gets affected and you need to perform the re-indexing of database using this command
c:\programfiles\exchsrvr\bin>isinteg -s server name-fix-test all tests
4. Restoring the data from Online Backup
Restore the data from backup is the best option if you have the recent backup of Exchange Mailbox. This might be the first choice but you have to take care that Backup is in good state and does not have any corruption issues
Summing Up – Exchange Jet Error 1018
However the manual method to fix Exchange 1018 jet_errreadverifyfailure error is available but in most of the case, these manual methods have their limitations and sometimes fails to handle mild corruption issues. In such case, there is an alternative or only solution exists is the use of third party software like Exchange Mailbox Repair Tool. Using this tool the possibility of data loss get nullify and you can effectively repair the corruption issues of Exchange mailbox and Exchange Jet Error 1018
We have discussed most common error of Exchange Jet Error 1018 and possible reasons for this error and how we can Fix 1018 jet_errreadverifyfailure error with the manual and automated solution. For efficient and rapid fix Exchange jet error, you can go with the automated solution like Exchange Mailbox Repair Tool without any hesitation. The tool has a huge collection of advanced features which have the capability to manage and fix exchange jet 1018 error with ease.


agogical stepping stone towards fully nonstandard analysis, as it is formally similar to (though weaker than) fully nonstandard analysis, but on the other hand is closer in practice to standard analysis. As we shall see below, the relation between cheap nonstandard analysis and standard analysis is analogous in many ways to the relation between probabilistic reasoning and deterministic reasoning; it also resembles somewhat the preference in much of modern mathematics for viewing mathematical objects as belonging to families (or to categories) to be manipulated en masse, rather than treating each object individually. (For instance, nonstandard analysis can be used as a partial substitute for scheme theory in order to obtain uniformly quantitative results in algebraic geometry, as discussed for instance in this previous blog post.)

Re: "Officials expect flood may hit more than 1,000 homes," June 21.
In this article, there were at least two bits of data that highlight why officials and experts cannot be trusted when it comes to predicting what is going to happen in nature, even in the short term.
Take the flood crest predictions for Medicine Hat and Lethbridge referred to in the article. Officials predicted 5,300 cubic metres per second versus actual of 2,800, while in Lethbridge, the prediction was 4,500 cubic metres per second with actual of only 2,100.
Even with all the extensive and expensive data network for rainfall and river flows, these predictions were offby 100 per cent. The public should be asking why experts cannot get flooding predictions right, even in extremely short time scales, let alone long ones.


A dive light is routinely used during night dives and cave dives, when there is little or no natural light, but also has a useful function during the day, as water absorbs the longer (red) wavelengths first then the yellow and green with increasing depth. By using artificial light, it is possible to view an object in full color at greater depths.

Applications that you use to stitch photographs together to
form panoramic images are called stitching software
. PTGui is stitching software.
Panoramic images are assembled of multiple images. Because the images are perspective corrected,
a seamless stitch can be made and the panorama will look like an image taken with an
artificial super wide angle lens.
Several types of stitching software exist: automatic stitchers and control point based stitchers.
Not all stitching software can do multi row panoramas. A multi row panorama is a panorama
consisting of images not only aligned next to each other, but also on top of each other.
If enough images are stitched together, a spherical panorama can be formed. This is a panorama
where you can see the full environment of the camera.
With PTGui you can create spherical panoramas, single row panoramas and multi row panoramic images.
It can handle every imaginable lens type, can output to many formats and projections,
including 360-degree spherical and rectilinear ('flat') formats.
Features of PTGui:
- Create spherical, cylindrical or flat panoramas from any number of source images
- Supports jpeg, tiff, png and bmp source images
- WYSIWYG Panorama editor for interactive editing and realtime preview
- Stitching software
- Supports many panoramic projections
- Create templates with frequently used settings
- Includes spherical panorama viewer and web publishing tool
PTGui originally started as a G
nterface for Panorama Tools (hence the name). Over the years it has evolved into the most versatile stitching software. It easily gives you high quality stitched panoramas from overlapping images or photographs.
