Picking Pack – For many manufacturers and distributors, picking packing can be a very expensive activity. It is also an area that can have the greatest impact on customer satisfaction. However, getting a selection process and packing correctly means the difference between ensuring that your client is careful, in good condition and on time – or not. Picking and packing jobs should be done in efficient ways so the customer will be satisfied.
Strategy to Improve Picking Process Efficiency
Let's look at some of the different ways companies can handle the system picking process. The biggest challenge in the capture process is to simplify the movement of the system picker. This is as it moves through the warehouse to meet the largest number of orders in the shortest period. The four most common application strategies include:
- Piece picking
This is probably the easiest way to fire, and this is where most companies start. Orders are chosen one by one as they log on. The process can be as simple as sending a warehouse agent to a warehouse with orders in hand and asking them to take things off the shelf until each order is filled. This process is easy to implement, but is rarely very effective in any case except for a smaller warehouse.
- Batch picking
The warehouse has a little more traffic than you usually need to find a more efficient way to fill orders. For many people, batch plucking is the next logical step. Picking is like a choice but instead of choosing one command at a time, the system picker may meet multiple requests at once. It touches the traffic through the warehouse and allows more requests to be filled up quickly. Because the volume of orders grows, however, it still has restrictions.
- Pickup Area
Pick area recognition Pick up payments and choose not the fastest method to select the system, many hands make light work. In the mapping area, the warehouse is divided into areas or areas. The chooser command is set to select only items from the custom area. If items from multiple regions are required to fill a command, item boxes will move from one region to another until the request is filled. Often, these boxes are moved through the conveyor belt, but can also be done manually.
- Wave Picking
Wave Picking is basically a combination of region collectors and pick up payments. Requests are made in batches, with workers assigned to the area where they will choose the combined system.
To achieve greater efficiency of picking and packing job description, companies may switch to automatic selection. They are using the sorting system method, where the order is actually brought to the picker by the volume and automatic storage, or the box selection method. This is similar to the system sorting method but involves many system users multiple stations, with boxes being transported by tankers between stations. However, automatic selection can be costly. So picking and packing duties should be done perfectly for perfect result.
Strategy to Improve Packing Process Efficiency
The challenge in the packing process is to use the correct size and less number of squares to complete each order in such a way that the shipping cost is reduced. The company need to use the right packaging material to ensure the system arrives in good condition. The order management system can be used to meet these challenges. The system management system manages the information about the size and weight of each item, and the best type of packing material is provided on each item.
When the system is filled, the system management system analyzes the system and automatically selects the right package that will provide shipping costs, maintain minimum damage, and take little time to complete the order. You need to consider above strategies if you want to also take picking and packing jobs from home. Or if you now is looking for a job in Brisbane, you can search for picking and packing jobs Brisbane.
Steps to Make Picking and Packing Process More Efficient
There are some steps you can take to make picking pack process becomes more efficient. You need to follow these steps:
- Reduce Touches
When the system is taken and packaged, ideally it should only be touched once throughout the process. To achieve this, the system must be fault-free and properly packaged the first time, moving directly from the rack to the box to the truck without having to transport it to and from load or refill it to smaller or larger containers. Reducing this type of rework helps to make the selection and packaging process more efficient.
- Improve your storage strategy
How and where you can store your product in the warehouse directly affects the efficiency of capture. Then, this is the area to know when trying to speed up your process. The most common storage strategies are random storage (where items are set to anywhere to be opened), storage based on size (where items are ordered on demand and due to proper storage locations. The most frequently used items are stored in the nearest plant station to minimize worker movement). If you use a random storage strategy, rearranging your warehouse based on size or tier-based system can help to ease traffic within the warehouse and speed up your pickup process.
- Consider choosing different strategies
Most companies start with manual cutting, but as they grow, they feel that this strategy cannot accommodate traffic and larger volume in the warehouse. Display areas, load batches or waves, along with some automation degree is a logical development to support further growth and efficiency of picking pack.
- Minimize movement
Walking around the barn every day makes people tired, people who are tired of making mistakes. To maximize the efficiency and accuracy of the system, find ways to reduce the number of trips around your warehouse you must make. Storage and retrieval strategies will have a direct impact. So if you use manual sniping strategies and random storage strategies, switching to region-based, volume-based or class-based storage systems can allow you to reduce travel.
The process of picking pack is complex, and its success ultimately depends on getting a number of right factors. Design your warehouse, the technology and equipment you use. Consider how your warehouse items are stored, the way you pick a picker through the warehouse, the strategy of criticizing your order, how you pack, organize and prepare your order along with many others. Those factors play a role in whether the selection and package process generates the appropriate and happy customer system.

DISCOVERY RETURNS STUDENT EXPERIMENTS FROM SPACE STATION
When the crew of the Space Shuttle Discovery returned today from their historic mission, they brought back an experiment package eagerly anticipated by students from across the country. The experiments had been on board the International Space Station.
Twenty tiny experiment samples were delivered to the Space Station on December 25, 2004, on board a Russian Progress supply ship. The experiment samples are from 11 schools and organizations representing students in elementary through high school. Eight of these schools and organizations also flew experiments on the Space Shuttle Columbia's last mission in 2003.
The schools and organizations participating in the Space Station experiments:
Central Park Middle School, Scotia, N.Y.
J.M. Bailey School, Bayonne, N.J.
The Mott Hall School, New York
American Museum of Natural History, New York
Shoshone-Bannack High School, Pocatello, Idaho

Mall Mania
Time Limit: 1 s Memory Limit: 128 MB
Submission：2 AC：0 Score：99.98
Waterloo has two giant shopping malls, each enclosing several city blocks. Kim and Pat like to shop and to walk within the malls but they don't like walking between the malls because such walking does not contribute directly to the task at hand: shopping. They would therefore like to know the minimum crossing distance between the malls.
Each city block is a unit square delimited by streets and avenues. Streets run east-west and avenues run north-south. Both are identified by consecutive integers between 0 and 2000. (Lower numbered avenues are west of higher numbered avenues and lower numbered streets are south of higher numbered streets.) Streets and avenues are narrow so their thickness may be assumed to be 0.
Standard input contains several test cases. Each test case contains the description of the two malls. Each mall's description consists of an integer p ≥ 4, the perimeter of the mall, followed by one or more lines containing p pairs (a,s) giving the coordinates of the avenue-street intersections contained in the perimeter, in clockwise order. A line containing 0 follows the last test case.
For each case, output a single integer d -- the minimum walking distance between the malls, assuming that Kim and Pat always walk along streets and avenues.

This paper examines debt structure using a new and comprehensive database on types of debt employed by public U.S. firms. We find that 85% of the sample firms borrow predominantly with one type of debt, and the degree of debt specialization varies widely across different subsamples—large rated firms tend to diversify across multiple debt types, while small unrated firms specialize in fewer types. We suggest several explanations for why debt specialization takes place, and show that firms employing few types of debt have higher bankruptcy costs, are more opaque, and lack access to some segments of the debt markets.

How do change management exercises look today?
Due to the current climate of COVID-19, most workplaces are closed and employees are working from home. Managers are now tasked with leading teams remotely which requires increased communication and clear expectations around work performance.
Coping with change and empowering employees to rise to the occasion is now more important than ever. As many organizations are finding their footing amidst this sudden shift, embracing change management can maintain business continuity and give employees an engaging way to handle new processes that might come their way.
Change management exercises for remote workers
In light of the present situation, below are two change management exercises that can be done via Zoom with your team to empower them to deal with more unknowns during this period and beyond.
Draw, draw draw
Gather your team on a video call and instruct them to have paper and pens ready. Preface the exercise by saying that drawing skills are not being measured, and each employee should concentrate on simply completing the task.
The manager will begin with an instruction to have everyone draw a house. After a couple of minutes and before the picture is completed, the manager will say that they changed their minds and now want a picture of a boat. Again, at some point before everyone finishes, the manager will change the directions and tell everyone to draw a castle. As the manager keeps changing their mind, employees might begin to feel a bit fed up. After a series of changes, and before engagement is lost, the facilitator should start a conversation about what everyone experienced.
This exercise highlights the frustration that change can elicit and the negative behaviors associated with having to make something new each time from scratch. This is a great way to have employees look critically at which points during the exercise they became frustrated and why. The conversation can broaden to address where sudden pivots have been made at work, how employees rose to the challenge and how making that change inspired innovation or an improved way of doing things.
Signature for change
Ask all employees on your video conferencing call to sign their name 10 times on a piece of paper. This should take a minute, and promptly afterward, ask them to do it again. Once they're done, instruct employees to put the pen in their other hand and do ten signatures, and then repeat.
Initiate a conversation about how hard signing their name was using their opposite hand and any challenges that arose.
Now ask them to sign their signature again 10 times. Most people will use their usual hand, but why did they switch back? The instructions didn't change. The point of the exercise is to demonstrate how difficult change can be, and most people will revert to what they know unless they are making a concerted effort to implement change.

Convergent Lagrangian heuristics for nonlinear minimum cost network flows
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2008
We consider the separable nonlinear and strictly convex single-commodity network flow problem (SSCNFP). We develop a computational scheme for generating a primal feasible solution from any Lagrangian dual vector; this is referred to as "early primal recovery". It is motivated by the desire to obtain a primal feasible vector before convergence of a Lagrangian scheme; such a vector is not available from a Lagrangian dual vector unless it is optimal. The scheme is constructed such that if we apply it from a sequence of Lagrangian dual vectors that converge to an optimal one, then the resulting primal (feasible) vectors converge to the unique optimal primal flow vector. It is therefore also a convergent Lagrangian heuristic, akin to those primarily devised within the field of combinatorial optimization but with the contrasting and striking advantage that it is guaranteed to yield a primal optimal solution in the limit. Thereby we also gain access to a new stopping criterion for any Lagrangian dual algorithm for the problem, which is of interest in particular if the SSCNFP arises as a subproblem in a more complex model. We construct instances of convergent Lagrangian heuristics that are based on graph searches within the residual graph, and therefore are efficiently implementable; in particular we consider two shortest path based heuristics that are based on the optimality conditions of the original problem. Numerical experiments report on the relative efficiency and accuracy of the various schemes. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Start out with the following simple question:
Imagine you have tied a rope tightly around the full span of earth's equator (assume "earth" as being a perfect sphere and that the rope cannot be stretched). Now imagine that you add 1 meter to the initial rope length so that it becomes loose around the equator. Question: if you spread the rope at an even height from earth's surface (i.e. rope has a circular form, cocentric with earth's center) can you pass a cat underneath it?
Intuition says "no way", but let's examine the problem closely. Cutting a 2D slice at the equator, initially we have a circle with a perimeter equal to earth's perimeter at the equator (call it's radius "R") and a circle of rope tied tightly around it. When we loosen the perimeter by a meter (add a meter of rope) we are (indirectly) increasing it's radius. What we need to find out is how much the circle's radius will expand. (again intuition says it'll be very little due to the earth's dimensions and the fact that we are adding so little rope).
So, initially we have, from basic geometry:
(where P is the initial perimeter). When we add a meter of rope we are making P'=P+1 (where P' is the perimeter after the meter of rope was added). We also know (same as equation (1)) that:
Solving for R':
note the beauty of equation (2). It tells us that the increase in the radius is independant of it's initial radius. Simply, it doesn't matter whether we are tying a rope around an orange or the earth, when we add 1 meter to it's length (perimeter), we ALWAYS increase it's radius by 16 centimeters.
let's just say I was marvelled by this simple result.
by the way... most cats can squeeze beneath 16 centimeters.

The March 2010 revision of the General Eric Shinseki reading list
Gen. Shinseki's list has several characteristics that support those purposes. It is hierarchical, presenting sub lists of books appropriate to varying levels of experience and responsibility. Lieutenants and buck sergeants have different frames of reference than do generals and sergeants major. It is progressive, with each sub list preparing its intended audience not only for present levels of responsibility but also for responsibilities at the next higher level. It is synchronized, complementing formal Army education and bridging intellectual intervals between attendances at Army educational institutions. It is diverse, collectively representing the entirety of our military heritage and encouraging reflection upon a variety of issues and circumstances. Finally, it is intended to be challenging, calling upon soldiers to read at a level that is within their capacities but that stretches their intellects.

Financing Decisions Assignment Help
There are 2 essential kinds of monetary decisions that the financing group has to make in a company: financial investment and financing. The 2 decisions come down to ways to invest cash and ways to obtain cash. Remember that the total objective of monetary decisions is to optimize investor value, so every decision needs to be put in that context.
Financing Decisions Assignment Help
Financing Decisions Assignment Help
A financial investment decision focuses on spending capital on possessions that will yield the greatest return for the service over a wanted period. Simply puts, the decision has to do with exactly what to purchase so that the service will get the most value.
In the extremely short-term, a service requires cash to pay its costs, however keeping its whole money implies that it isn't really investing in things that will assist it grow in the future. A service that invests all of its cash will optimize its long-lasting development potential customers, however if it does not hold sufficient money, it cannot pay its costs and will go out of company quickly.
The financial investment decision likewise worries exactly what certain financial investments making. Considering that there is no warranty of a return for a lot of financial investments, the financing department needs to figure out an anticipated return. This return is not ensured, however is the typical return on a financial investment if it were to be made often times.
The financial investments have to fulfill 3 primary requirements:
 1. It has to optimize the value of the company, after thinking about the quantity of danger the business is comfy with (threat hostility).
 2. It should be funded properly.
 3. The money should be returned to investor in order to take full advantage of investor value if there is no financial investment chance that fills (1) and (2).
All functions of a business have to be spent for one method or another. It depends on the financing department to determine the best ways to spend for them through the procedure of financing.
There are 2 methods to fund a financial investment: utilizing a service's own cash or by raising cash from external funders. Each has its drawbacks and benefits.
Offering equity is basically offering part of your business. When a service goes public, for example, they choose to offer their business to the public rather of to personal financiers. The service is offering itself to the public in return for cash.
A service can raise financing from different sources such as by concern of shares, debentures or by taking loan and advances. Choosing just how much to raise from which source is issue of financing decision. Generally sources of financing can be divided into 2 classifications:
 1. Owners fund.
 2. Obtained fund.
Share capital and maintained revenues make up owners' fund and debentures, loans, bonds, and so on makeup obtained fund.
The primary issue of financing supervisor is to choose just how much to raise from owners' fund and just how much to rise from obtained fund.
The obtained funds have actually to be paid back and include some degree of danger whereas in owners' fund there is no repair dedication of payment and there is no threat included. Under financing decision financing supervisor repairs a ratio of owner fund and obtained fund in the capital structure of the service.
Financing decisions center on how a business pays for its capital tasks. In a steady service, the daily operations of the company must pay for themselves: Revenue from sales must be sufficient to pay for stock, lease, energies, and employees' earnings and so on. For huge capital financial investments, however, the service might require more money than the company creates day to day.
The financing decision includes 2 sources from where the funds can be raised: utilizing a service's own cash, such as share capital, maintained revenues or obtaining funds from the outdoors in the type debenture, loan, bond, and so on. The goal of monetary decision is to preserve an optimal capital structure, i.e. a correct mix of financial obligation and equity, to guarantee the trade-off in between the danger and go back to the investors.
While taking financing decisions the financing supervisor bears in mind the following aspects:
 1. Expense:
The expense of raising financing from different sources is various and financing supervisors constantly choose the source with minimum expense.
 1. Threat:
More danger is related to obtained fund as compared to owner's fund securities. Financing supervisor compares the danger with the expense included and chooses securities with moderate threat element.
 1. Capital Position:
The capital position of the service likewise assists in choosing the securities. With smooth and constant capital services can quickly manage obtained fund securities however when business have scarcity of capital, then they should opt for owner's fund securities just.
 1. Control Considerations:
Then they choose obtained fund securities to raise additional fund, if existing investors desire to keep the total control of company. If they do not mind to lose the control then they might go for owner's fund securities, on the other hand.
 1. Floatation Cost:
It describes cost associated with problem of securities such as broker's commission, underwriters costs, costs on prospectus, and so on. Company chooses securities which include least floatation expense.
 1. Fixed Operating Cost:
If a business is having actually high repaired operating expense then they need to choose owner's fund since due to high repaired functional expense, the business might not have the ability to pay interest on financial obligation securities which can trigger severe difficulties for service.

Tracking COVID-19 with DHIS2 Electronic Health Registries in Palestine
The Palestinian Country Team used local capacity to quickly develop their COVID-19 surveillance system in response to the coronavirus pandemic
Quick crisis response thanks to an experienced Country Team and shared experience from the global DHIS2 community
The Palestinian National Institute of Public Health (PNIPH) is a project led by the World Health Organization (WHO) in close cooperation with the Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH). The main aim of PNIPH is to provide evidence-based public health knowledge to support policy formulation, and to bolster national efforts to protect and improve the health of the Palestinian people.
One of PNIPH's core objectives is to support evidence-based decision making related to public health by improving electronic health registries as effective tools. Using the DHIS2 platform, the MoH and PNIPH have gained extensive experience in building and implementing e-Registries in a number of areas, such as mother and child health, mammography, and communicable case-based surveillance, among others, in an effort to move towards better health information systems.
Since 2017, PNIPH has invested heavily in the establishment of a Palestinian Country Team, which includes members from both PNIPH and the MoH, to build local capacity in DHIS2. The team is now able to configure, customize, and build health systems based on DHIS2 technology in response to local health needs, with minimal external support. This capacity was demonstrated with the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus in Palestine. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the team quickly took action, and within a week, successfully developed the COVID-19 surveillance package inspired by the existing work of the global DHIS2 community. The Palestinian team built the system to incorporate both MoH needs and WHO standards for tracking information at the case level, and created dashboards with country-specific indicators.
Combining local requirements and global standards
The surveillance system is being used by MoH health workers to input important data related to reported cases of COVID-19 throughout the country in order to track cases. The system adopted WHO-recommended COVID-19 case definitions, as well as MoH and WHO case reporting information, including:
Occupation and animal contacts
Source and method of infection
Clinical course and pictures, including signs and symptoms
Co-morbidity and underlying health conditions
Exposure and travel information prior to the onset of symptoms
Lab test results
The system was built to address four case management criteria:
Reporting for suspected COVID-19 cases
Cases of home and institutional quarantine (monitoring of health status for 14 days)
Hospital isolation cases
Confirmed case reports
PNIPH has trained focal points in each district to use the system. These focal points are responsible for collecting data, following up on and documenting cases, and monitoring cases in quarantine and isolation. The Minister of Health and the Prime Minister also have access to the system.
Using analytics tools for outbreak monitoring, follow-up, and further research
The software is able to provide real-time analyses and generate needed statistics and indicators required for follow-up and monitoring the containment or spread of the outbreak. Statistics generated by the system will illustrate the characteristics and classification of cases, whether confirmed or suspected, as well as health outcomes (recovered, stable, or deceased), in addition to other WHO and health system indicators. Over 70 indicators are generated by the system and are presented in the dashboard as tables, graphs, and GIS maps. This information will support decision-making regarding preventive and corrective procedures.
Globally, countries are conducting in-depth research on infected, recovered, and death cases related to COVID-19 to better understand the virus and help develop effective treatments. While other sources in Palestine are collecting aggregated and statistical data, the COVID-19 surveillance system developed by the MoH and PNIPH is the only system collecting detailed data at the case level. Leveraging this information, Palestine now has a valuable opportunity to study the pattern of disease as it unfolded in the country.
The Minister of Health, Dr. Mai Al-Kaila, commended the country team's swift response to the pandemic and the effectiveness of having both a country team and local expertise in building health systems. These efforts have demonstrated PNIPH's leadership in pioneering digital health information in the country and the greater region, as well as the Institute's ability to quickly respond to urgent and emergency health sector needs.
As the COVID-19 situation in the country is still ongoing and largely uncertain, the MoH and PNIPH will continue to adjust the system to benefit the health sector and support the government in its efforts to address the crisis. Additionally, the Palestinian Country Team plans to share its experience with the regional and global community by providing guidance on the customized system, meta-data, and indicators, as well as through online training videos.


Building better recommendation systems
Researchers from University of Amsterdam (UvA) and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) are teaming up with data scientists at to improve recommendation systems.
The collaboration at the Mercury Machine Learning Lab at Amsterdam's Innovation Center for Artificial Intelligence (ICAI) is a test of AI techniques in the real world, so that new machine learning methods can be safely developed for wider application, for example in mobility, energy and healthcare.
Currently customers' taps, clicks and scrolling through search results lead to recommendations based on what previous travellers have chosen and experienced. Machine learning techniques are well suited to learning such connections and preferences, especially when there is a wealth of data available.
However, these connections and preferences found in the data are not only informed by the choices other travellers have made, but also by the suggestions and selections the system showed them. This tends to skew the process, resulting in a bias in the recommendations travellers receive.
This new collaboration will aim to attempt to remove this bias, so recommendations remain accurate in a new or different context, whereby the handling of data in a safe and ethical way remains the top priority.
Joris Mooij, scientific director of the Mercury Machine Learning Lab at UvA, said: "It's a huge opportunity for us as researchers to have access to a live dataset of global data and be able to experiment on's platform."
Matthijs Spaan, one of the scientific directors from TU Delft, added: "The lab's focus on developing better algorithms for recommender systems is highly relevant to our society as these systems guide many of our digital interactions. By addressing fundamental AI challenges, the results of the lab will also be valuable in other domains."
Technology and talent development
The ICAI has launched several public-private collaborations aimed at technology and talent development in AI. One lab is working with the Netherlands Forensic Institute to use AI to detect deepfakes made by criminals.
Thanks to such initiatives, Amsterdam is well on its way to being a world-leader in AI and machine learning. The city is an established "living lab" for AI solutions, and programmes such as AI Technology for People ensure innovations deployed in the city truly improve citizens' lives.

Like the Sound of Music's Von Trapp family hiding in the Alps, plants may find refuge from a warming climate in the mountains.
Research in the Swiss Alps suggests diverse mountain habitats could act as stepping stones to allow plants to escape into more hospitable hideaways as their usual homes heat up.
A large, flat savannah offers little variation in temperature. If the temperature warms up, the whole area warms up.
But Daniel Scherrer and Christian Körner from the University of Basel, Switzerland found a broad spectrum of habitats in the central Swiss Alps after studying an alpine meadow for two seasons. In the rugged mountain landscape, different conditions existed close together.
The plants growing in those varied conditions were adapted to the particular set of temperatures of the micro-climates, the scientists found. The research suggests that these plants could start growing in neighboring habitats as the temperature increases.
To test this, Scherrer and Körner used a computer model to simulate what would happen if the temperature went up 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. They found that only 3 percent of all temperature conditions disappeared. Some of the cooler habitats shrank or shifted, but pockets remained. This suggests that plants have the opportunity to shift habitats, instead of just dying off.
Preserving mountain habitats is even more new important now in light of this research. A diverse Alpine meadow could save many different habitats, compared to a single habitat in a grassland of equal size.
"It is known from earlier geological periods that mountains were always important for survival of species during periods of climatic change such as in glacial cycles, because of their 'habitat diversity,'" concluded Körner.
"Mountains are therefore particularly important areas for the conservation of biodiversity in a given region under climatic change and thus deserve particular protection," Körner said.

Welcome to oidcservice's documentation!¶
OpenID Connect and OAuth2 (O/O) are both request-response protocols. The client sends a request and the server responds either direct on the same connection or after a while on another connection.
When I use client below I refer to a piece of software that implements O/O and works on behalf of an application.
The client follows the same pattern disregarding which request/response it is dealing with. I does the following when sending a request:
- Gathers the request arguments
- If client authentication is involved it gathers the necessary data for that
- If the chosen client authentication method involved adding information to the request it does so.
- Adds information to the HTTP headers like Content-Type
- Serializes the request into the expected format
after that follows the act of sending the request to the server and receiving the response from it. Once the response have been received, The client will follow this path:
- Deserialize the received message into a internal format
- Verify that the message was correct. That it contains the required claims and that all claims are of the correct data type. If it's signed and/or encrypted verify signature and/or decrypt.
- Store the received information in a data base and/or passes it on to the application.
oidcservice is built to allow clients to be constructed that supports any number and type of of request-response services. The basic Open ID Connect set is:
- Dynamic provider information discovery
- Dynamic client registration
- Authorization/Authentication request
- Access token request
- User info request
To these one can add services like session management and token introspection. The only thing we can be sure of is that this is not the final set of services, there will be more. And there will be variants of the standard ones. Like when you want to add multi lateral federation support to provider information discovery and client registration.
Over all it seemed like a good idea to write a piece of code that implements all the functionality that is needed to support any of this services and any future services that follows the same pattern.
That is the thought behind oidcservice.

Sovereign Warm-Touch© Insulation is used to combat black mould growth caused by condensation on cold walls. It does this by increasing the temperature of a wall so that it is above dew point so that condensation cannot form.
Sovereign Warm-Touch Adhesive is used to bond our revolutionary wall insulation to internal walls of masonry, plaster, brick and concrete etc. It is also used to bond the Warm-Touch Skirting Channel and Warm-Touch Corner Tape.
Sovereign Warm-Touch Sealant is an integral part of the system and provides continuity of the fire resistance and sound/heat insulation.
Warm Touch Corner Tape is used to cover corners where warm touch has been cut to the edges when installed on a wall.

Cattleya warscewiczii is the best known of all Colombian Cattleya, although, it is safe to assume that it is not the most popular among hobbyists, simply because in the northern hemisphere, the blooming season is usually during the hot months of July and September.
The plant was discovered near Frontino in 1849 by Josef Warscewicz. Most plants from the early collection perished during the trip to Europe and it was not until some 20 years later that the plants became more popular in the European collections.
By the end of the XIXth century, they received very high awards by the Royal Horticultural Society. It also received the name of Cattleya gigas because of its size, but this name is only a synonim of Cattleya warscewiczii. A friend of mine told me once that you do not need to be an orchid grower to appreciate the beauty of this Cattleya. It is indeed a magnificent Cattleya when it is in full bloom. Not many orchids compare to it at during blooming season.
During my literature search on articles about Colombian Cattleya I had some trouble finding good articles that describe accurately the habitat, the flower, the plant's morphology and also that provide some guide as to how to cultivate the them. I found the best article ever published on any Colombian Cattleya in Orquideología in the issue of December of 1973. The article was later re-published in English in the Orchid Digest of April 1996.
Anything that can be written can hardly improve on that particular article about Cattleya warscewiczii. As with most Colombian Cattleya, there are very clear and defined zones where the plant is found in its natural habitat. Although most have subtle differences as to their morphology and chromatic variations, important color variations in this Cattleya are rare to find.
Zone 1: Frontino - Dabeiba This zone is located some 150 kilometers Northwest of Medellín towards the Urabá zone where Cattleya aurea variety dureda is found.
It is found at elevations between 700 to 1.000 meters above sea level. It is the possible to find Cattleya hardyana in this habitat as well. Most color variations come from this region. The variety used to be called imperialis. Alba, semi alba, cegata, coerulea, light semi alba, and very dark forms can be found, although the normal color form is pink to dark lilac pink.
The lip is usually very round and the shape of the flower is, on average, the best of all zones where cattleya warscewiczii is found. Blooming takes place in March and April after a dry season that started mid - December. Each flower spike will have between three to five flowers. Plants receive water abundantly during and after the blooming season until mid June. Mr. Warscewicz discovered this Cattleya in this region.
Zone 2: Porce Most cattleya are found along riverbeds where air circulation is always present.
Cattleya warscewiczii grows also along the Porce River down to the village of Amalfi. The region is only about 80 to 100 kilometers due North of Medellín.
This variety can be in many ways compared to the Frontino – Dabeiba variety, both because of its color variations and because of the shape of the flower. However, flowers tend to be a bit lighter in color and therefore the cegata or darker varieties are more difficult to find.
The region is somehow drier than Frontino – Dabeiba and this may cause the plants to have smaller flowers but if abundant water is given during bud formation and after flowering, there will be virtually no difference between the flowers of both regions.
Zone 3: San Juan. This zone is also called Amagá.
It is found some 100 kilometers Southwest of Medellín. Even though the plants can be found near the village of Amagá (25 kilometers South of Medellín), the main area where this variety is found is along the San Juan River, a subsidiary of the Cauca River. If one continues some 50 kilometers up the Cauca River (to the North) one would find Cattleya quadricolor.
Alberto Echavarria and Rodrigo Escobar describe plants having a "smaller size and lesser quality". I can only agree with this statement. However, There is something very extraordinary about these plants, that is the way they bloom. They simply cover themselves with flowers in the month of April.
Although there is a famous alba variety called Amagaceña (From Amagá), it is doubtful that it really comes from this area as it does not have smaller flowers and is very good in shape. There is simply no color variation on this area.
Zone 4: Carare Opón Zone The variety is also called Sanderana.
It is found where the Sates of Antioquía, Cundinamarca Santander and Boyacá come together along the Magdalena River. Blooming takes place about a month after all other zones, probably because the plants receive more water for longer periods.
Plants are found in wooded areas to deeply forested areas. Plants of this variety can stand heavier water regimes than the plants originated in the other varieties. Plants are also larger and more massive. The main difference however is in the size of the flower and the quantity of flowers per bloom. Flower size can reach 25 centimeters across and each flower spike can bear some 10 flowers. This is unique to this Cattleya.
The shape of the sanderana type will never match that of other variants simply because of the size and the clear rib in the middle od the petals. The petals rarely overlap. The region is difficult to reach and plants grow in tall trees (Anacardium).
Few color varieties come from this region, probably because it has been less collected and because there are fewer persons living in the area. Peasants tend to collect color variations and keep them in their homes as decoration. Having fewer people on the area also probably means fewer possibilities to find newer color forms.
Despite the fact that color variations are rare, all color forms described in other Cattleya are present in warscewiczii except true concolor. There was a true concolor plant called "Goyo" which died in cultivation soon after it was collected. Only a nice old picture is left of that plant.
It is possible to find true alba forms such as "Envigado" "Porce" and the magnificent "Firmin Lambeau" all the way to a very dark color form like "Ebano". Coerulea variations can also be splendid; among them, "Mamá Polita" also called ""La Floresta", "Helena de Ospina" "Ituango" and many others.
Much work has been done through breeding to improve the shape and color of Cattleya warscewiczii. It is now possible to find most variations in excellent shapes. Mr. Francisco Villegas from Orquifollajes has done a remarkable job in this area. Place text here

Principal Investigator(s):
The 882 respondents to the Scottish Election Survey are a subset of those surveyed for the BRITISH GENERAL ELECTION CROSS-SECTION SURVEY, 1997 (ICPSR 2615). The aims of the Scottish Election Survey survey were (1) to contribute to the construction of a time series on electoral change at a time when political divergence was one of the key features of political behavior within the United Kingdom (UK), (2) to model political behavior and attitudes in Scotland with regard to Britain as a whole, the nations and regions of the UK, and within Scotland itself, (3) to understand nationalism in Scotland in the wider European context, and (4) to provide a benchmark for assessing the outcomes of Scottish Parliament elections and against which to assess future constitutional change. Respondents were asked for their opinions on the possibility of a separate Scottish Parliament, the Scottish National Party, how the European Union will affect Scotland, the economic benefits to both England and Scotland of Scotland's being part of the UK, social class differences between England and Scotland, the relationship between Protestants and Catholics in Scotland, the importance of a Scottish heritage, and the faith held by the Scottish that British political parties will work in their interest. Additionally, topics repeated from the Cross-Section Survey include the 1997 campaign, participation in 1997 local elections, British political parties, trust in government, images of British leadership, the European Union, Northern Ireland, nuclear weapons, unemployment, inflation, nationalization and privatization of companies, redistribution of income, women's rights, the role of government in social policy, abortion, ethnic minorities, the British economy, political knowledge, and the future of governmental institutions such as the House of Lords. Background information on respondents includes age, sex, race, ethnicity, political party, political orientation, marital status, number of members in household, social class, employment history, health insurance status, citizenship, country of birth, voter registration and participation history, household income, education, religion, parents' employment history, parents' voting behavior, spouse's employment history, and union membership.

I have a long list of data in Excel 2007. Using the Hyperlink function:
I've added individual links to them all. Now I want to get rid of the function and just leave the data with the link.
If I do Paste Special > Values, it does the job but the link will be removed.
How can I paste the values and keep the hyperlink?

How about a paste out to Word? (and then copy it there and paste back into Excel if you really need it back in Excel).
This retains both the link and the title, and is clickable.
No paste special required, although depending on your settings you may get some naff formatting inherited from the the default tabel format in Word. You can get round this using the paste options in Word to keep the source formatting.

Errrr, the function is the link. There's no such thing as a clickable link without that function. (Consider this: which value would you expect when pasting something that is both a clickable link and a title? C2 or A2?)
You could replace the function with just C2. After that, using Paste Values will give you a non-clickable link. (But: you would already have that very same non-clickable link in C2 itself, so in the end that's useless.)
Or, if you expect some HTML magic: use something like the following, which is not clickable in Excel, but may be helpful when you use the result elsewhere:
= "" & A2 & ""
(Where & is the short notation for function CONCATENATE.)

Ok but if say I write some text in a cell and right click --> add hyperlink and then add a link that way. The cell retains the text in the formula bar and adds the link as a kind of meta data. Right now the cells i have linked contain this =HYPERLINK(C2,A2) in the formula bar. – Pete Sep 26 '09 at 2:38
Can you also perform that right-click trick on part of the text? (Just like you could make part of the text appear in bold, etcetera.) And what happens when using Paste Values on cells on which you've used that right-click option? – Arjan Sep 26 '09 at 10:36

Instek Digital Optrail: real-time video surveillance positioning solution
Taipei, Taiwan
Instek Digital, the video surveillance business unit of Good Will Instrument Co. that focus on the development of high quality digital surveillance solutions, has announced its brandnew integrated visual tracking solution, Optrail, incorporating real-time positioning with video surveillance based on Ultra-Wideband technology.
Instek Digital Optrail works by equipping the subject with a tag and it send a wireless signal to the surrounding reference nodes. The wireless signal is based on Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology with TDoA (Time Difference on Arrivals). This technology is simpler, less expensive and more accurate than other wireless standards. A minimum of three reference nodes are required to determine the subject's (tag's) location.
The combination of real-time location system and video surveillance offers a wide range of applications of tracking objects/people for different vertical markets. For example, Optrail can be used to protect detention officers in prisons against threats of disorderly inmates; to monitor elderly patients in a hospital who may feel unwell or to safeguard high value assets in a warehouse to restrict visitors from prohibited zones.
Optrail displays the subject(s) interest on Command Center's map; it can also show the reference nodes and cameras. Clicking on the cameras will bring up its video making the subject visible, so users can monitor the subject exact route with visualization. Optrail tags are equipped with an alarm button and G-sensor. The alarm button can be pressed in case of emergency, such as a hospital patient feeling unwell or a detention officer feeling threaten. The built-in G-sensor (optional) can detect a fall, such as a fainting patient in a hospital. When the alarm is triggered or the G-sensor is activated Instek Digital Optrail server receives a signal and sends an alarm to Command Center. Command Center can then display it on a map and pop-up the alarm video(s) to alert the operator. Multiple cameras in the vicinity can be associated to an alarm to provide full visual awareness to the operators tracking the event.
Instek Digital Command Center features the following features: real-time monitoring, historical route monitoring and intrusion/restricted area monitoring. In Command Center a map can display all the relevant subjects or devices, such as subjects (tags), cameras and reference nodes. Operators can then monitor subject(s) in real-time with related videos.
When evidence is required, the historical route of the subject can be viewed with the exact start and end time, and its associated video footage can be downloaded. To prevent unauthorized access or intrusion, Optrail provides tools in Command Center to define restricted areas and to configure alarm settings to safeguard valuable assets.

Period: 2005 – 2006
Surface area: 3 000m2
The unifying design element for the new Bahnhofsplatz is the red, rammed-earth paving. It spreads out like a carpet in front of the train station to receive the arrivals in Landquart. The hardwearing, newly developed paving material is derived from the tried and true, rammed-earth floors typical of ancient Rome. It is exceptionally resilient and proven to be robust. The special feature of this paving is the brick substrate from the local brick works that has been added to the paving material. This admixture gives the paving a reddish-brown tone and a lively surface structure, and makes the Bahnhofplatz a unique site. The square is framed at the side by two gardens. One is slightly elevated and consists of a group of ornamental cherry trees. There is a herbaceous garden on the opposite side, situated between two strong, existing copper beech trees. Both gardens join the square, creating two different spaces, each with its own atmosphere and quality.


generated is like any Matlab script: you can edit it, rename the variables, add tests and loops, etc. The first important thing to understand is how to edit the options or change the inputs/outputs of a process. The script generator uses only one variable for all the file lists ('''sFiles''') and the output process is always the input of the following process. This is usually too restrictive to write a full analysis script: we commonly need to have multiple lists of files or to run two different operations on the same file. Let's consider the first process call, which selects the averages for the Deviant condition in both runs. {{{ sFiles = bst_process('CallProcess', 'process_select_files_data', sFiles, [],...'subjectname', SubjectNames{1},... 'condition', '',... 'tag', 'Avg: deviant',... 'includebad', 0,... 'includeintra', 0,... 'includecommon', 0); }}} There is no need to set the parameter sFiles, because there is no input, you can replace it with an empty matrix []. You can therefore remove the line "sFiles = [];". We can also rename the output variable "sAvgData", to be a bit more specific. {{{ sAvgData = bst_process('CallProcess', 'process_select_files_data', [], [],... }}} You can omit all the options that are not defined, not used, or kept to their default values: {{{ sAvgData = bst_process('CallProcess', 'process_select_files_data', [], [],...'subjectname', SubjectNames{1},... 'tag', 'Avg: deviant'); }}} Edit low-pass filter call: Change the input to sAvgData and the output to sAvgDataLow, this way you will be able to keep track of the two files if you need to use them independently later in the script. {{{ sAvgDataLow = bst_process('CallProcess', 'process_bandpass', sAvgData, [],... 'highpass', 0,... 'lowpass', 30,...'sensortypes', 'MEG'); }}} Edit the call to the snapshot process: Change the input to sAvgDataLow, and remove the output parameter (we are not expecting output from it). {{{ bst_process('CallProcess', 'process_snapshot', sAvgDataLow, [],... 'target', 5,... % Recordings time series'modality', 1); % MEG (All) }}} Replace the last lines with the following, to export the report instead of opening in the report viewer (edit the file path to point at your own user folder instead). {{{ ReportFile = bst_report('Save'); bst_report('Export', ReportFile, 'C:\Users\franc\Documents\report_test.html'); }}} == Evaluate in Matlab == Select the code for the first process in the Matlab editor, right-click > Evaluate selection (or press F9). {{attachment:edit1.gif}} If you haven't executed your script yet, you will get the following error in the Matlab command window: {{{ Undefined variable "SubjectNames" or class "SubjectNames". }}} The variable SubjectNames is not defined yet: Execute the first two lines "SubjectNames = {'Subject01'}", then try again. You should now have a new variable in your Matlab workspace, which points at the two average files. Type "sAvgData(1)" in your command window to display the first element: {{{ >> sAvgData(1) ans = iStudy: 6 iItem: 1 FileName: 'Subject01/S01_AEF_20131218_01_600Hz_notch/data_deviant_average_160513_1329.mat' FileType: 'data' Comment: 'Avg: deviant (39 files)' Condition: 'S01_AEF_20131218_01_600Hz_notch' SubjectFile: 'Subject01/brainstormsubject.mat' SubjectName: 'Subject01' DataFile: '' ChannelFile: 'Subject01/S01_AEF_20131218_01_600Hz_notch/channel_ctf_acc1.mat' ChannelTypes: {'ADC A' 'ADC V' 'DAC' 'ECG' 'EOG' 'FitErr' 'HLU' 'MEG' 'MEG REF'...} }}} The field "sAvgData(1).FileName" contains the relative path to the to the Deviant average in the first run. This structure sAvgData contains also a lot of information that can be helpful in your script: * '''iStudy / iItem''': Reference of the file in the database (described later in this tutorial). * '''FileType''': 'raw' (continuous files), 'data' (recordings),'results' (sources), 'timefreq' (time-frequency, spectrum and connectivity), or'matrix' (any time series extracted from other files). * '''Comment''': Comment field of the file (what is displayed in the database explorer) * '''Condition''': Name of the condition/folder in which the file is located * '''SubjectFile''': Relative path to the subject file (brainstormsubject.mat) * '''SubjectName''': Name of the subject * '''DataFile''': For types'results' or 'timefreq', path of the parent file in the database explorer * '''ChannelFile''': Relative path to the channel file * '''ChannelTypes''': Cell array of channel types available for the input file == Naming conventions == To help you navigate in the Brainstorm code, here are some naming conventions: * '''Structures''': Name starting with a "s" followed by a capital letter (eg. sFiles, sStudy, sSubject). * '''Indices''': Either loop variables or array indices, name starting with a "i" (eg. iSubject, iStudy, iTime). * '''Counts''': Number of elements in a group, name starting with a "n" (eg. nAvg, nTrials, nSubjects). * '''File names''': Scripts and functions, only lower case, separation with "_" (eg. process_fft, bst_get). * '''Sub-functions''': Inside a.m file, name starting with a capital, CamelCase (eg. CallProcess, Start). * '''Graphic handles''': Matlab graphic objects, name starting with a "h" (eg. hFig, hAxes, hLine, hText). == Running the script == The simplified script looks like this: {{{ % Input files SubjectNames = {'Subject01'}; % Start a new report bst_report('Start'); % Process: Select data files in: Subject01/*/Avg: deviant sAvgData = bst_process('CallProcess', 'process_select_files_data', [], [],...'subjectname', SubjectNames{1},... 'tag', 'Avg: deviant'); % Process: Low-pass:30Hz sAvgDataLow = bst_process('CallProcess', 'process_bandpass', sAvgData, [],... 'highpass', 0,... 'lowpass', 30,...'sensortypes', 'MEG'); % Process: Snapshot: Recordings time series bst_process('CallProcess', 'process_snapshot', sAvgDataLow, [],... 'target', 5,... % Recordings time series'modality', 1); % MEG (All) % Save and display report ReportFile = bst_report('Save'); bst_report('Export', ReportFile, 'C:\Users\franc\Documents\report_test.html'); }}} You have three ways to execute it: * Select all the lines (Ctrl+A) and evaluate it in Matlab (F9). * In the Editor toolbar of the Matlab environment, click on the button [Run]. * Save the file, go to this folder with Matlab (or add it to your path) and type the name of the script in the command window (without the ".m" at the end). At the end of the execution, nothing happens, because we indicated we wanted to just export the report instead of opening it. To check out the report of execution: use the menu '''File > Report viewer''' from the Brainstorm window, or open the '''report_test.html''' that was saved somewhere on your computer. On this page, you can get review everything that happened in the script: when it was executed, how long it took, what are the processes that were executed, some produced messages (two files were selected with the first process), and at the end you have the screen captures taken by process_snapshot.. {{attachment:report1.gif||height="455",width="593"}} == Running the script again == If you execute the script again, it will not behave as expected anymore. The selection process we used assumes that there is only one file per folder with a comment that includes "Avg: deviant". This is not the case anymore after the execution, because the low-pass filtered files also contain the same tags. The execution of the first process of the script now '''returns 4 files'''. {{{ >> sAvgData = bst_process('CallProcess', 'process_select_files_data', [], [],...'subjectname', SubjectNames{1},... 'tag', 'Avg: deviant') sAvgData = 1x4 struct array with fields: iStudy iItem... }}} In order to exclude the low-pass filtered files from this selection, you can add another process that will '''refine the selection'''. Use the script generator again to create a template call for another process, then copy-paste it in your script. * In Process1: Select any recordings file (we will not run anything, just generate a script). * Select process '''File

Vale de Rodrigo (Évora)
Large prostrated menhir, elongated oval and flat shaped, craved on both sides - primarily composed of circular and subcircularmotifs, serpentine and a possible staff.
The monolith stands along the outer edge of the mound of megalithic tholos Vale de Rodrigo 1, on the East side. In the immediate area are known many funerary monuments and Neolithic/Chalcolithic settlements.
The set is located in a little steep slope exposed to the East and there are no granite outcrops nearby, although they occur less than 1 km away.
This is one of the first standing stones identified in the area of Évora (Leisner, 1944). Their association in space with the dolmen led Georg Leisner regard it as a benchmark indicator and, later, the same association was based on a proposal for a late-Neolithic chronology for the menhirs in general (Gibson et al., 1978).

The following is a re-publication, in substantial part, of the history of the Piqua Shawnee Tribe of Alabama as originally published by the Alabama Indian Affairs Commission, except as edited and modified herein.
History of the Early Shawnee People in Alabama:
Most historians classify early Shawnee Tribes as a nomadic people because historians have found creditable evidence of Shawnees moving about in North America, settling in various places, and often retaining small family units for long periods of time.
(Note: To the left is a depiction of Blue Jacket (or Weyapiersenwah). Blue Jacket (1743 -- 1810) was a war chief of the early Shawnee in the Ohio Valley who fought in defense of Shawnee land. He was an important predecessor to the famous Shawnee leader Tecumseh. There is no known historical record of Blue Jacket having lived in Alabama.).
Tecumseh, (Right) by Benson Lossing in 1848 based on 1808 drawing.
The State of Alabama has long been the home of many Shawnee people. In fact, some historians report that perhaps the Shawnees have inhabited Alabama for a longer period of time than any other geographic region. Some archaeologists set the date of 1685 as the first evidence of Shawnee settlement in Alabama. However, oral tradition recounts that the Shawnee have lived in Alabama much longer that. Ancient burial sites that used burial methods common to the Shawnee have been located in several sections of the State of Alabama. Early accounts can be confusing since what is now called Alabama was once a part of the Georgia Territory. Several early maps show Shawnee settlements in what is now the State of Alabama.
Early French and English maps show several Shawnee towns in what would be considered Upper Creek territory in Alabama. Some of the most notable were near modern Alabama towns. One village was near present day Talladega and was known in English as Shawnee Town. Another town was near Sylacauga. In 1750 the French took a census mentioning the Shawnee at Sylacauga as well as enumerating another Shawnee town called Cayomulgi (currently spelled Kyamulga Town) that was located nearby. Kiamulgatown was also listed in an 1832 census. A 1761 English census names Tallapoosa Town. This town was also named in a 1792 census by Marbury. There are French military records that mention a Shawnee presence at Wetumpka near Fort Toulouse. In most cases the traders called Alabama Indians "Creeks" because they lived on the numerous creeks and waterways in the area. Many of these "Creeks" were not of the same tribe or nation. Rather they went by a large number of names. Each group maintained their own unique heritage while living side by side with their neighbors.
Piqua Shawnee Tribe, Today:
Now, in the 21st century, there are many descendants who still call the State of Alabama home. Many of their family stories are varied. Some avoided the forced march of the Trail of Tears. Some families escaped into the Cumberland mountains, others hid
in swamps or less traveled places. A careful study of southeastern history that not all settlers agreed with President Andrew Jackson's removal policy. While many people did not escape the forced removal, some did. After the turmoil subsided some families returned. Many families chose to live in outlying rural areas where there was little government scrutiny and their neighbors were not too curious. While a lot was lost, family histories and ways were passed down.
It is out of that background that the Piqua Shawnee Tribe of Alabama members live and work to preserve their unique heritage. The tribe consists of clans that live in several states and Canada. While the majority of the Piqua Shawnee Tribe live in the State of Alabama, with members also living in Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Texas, Maryland, and South Carolina. Because they are so widely dispersed, they have at least four tribal gathering each year in alternating geographic locations, thereby preventing any of their people from having to travel much further than the others.

Arkansas Department of Ed Provides Statewide Access to STEM Activities
- By Dian Schaffhauser
Students in Arkansas will have access to a Web-based tool to help them master math and science. The Arkansas Department of Education will be providing access to Penda Learning, a Web-based standards mastery resource for students in grades 4 through 10.
Penda uses avatars and competitions to engage students as they work through multiple activities, which are standards-aligned. Instructors can take advantage of the service's reporting features, which can report data by grade level, class, and student. That data can be imported by gradebooks and can show time spent on a given task as well as the activities and standards mastered.
"[Science, technology, engineering, and math] education is a key state priority and we are always on the lookout for innovative and proven STEM tools for the students of Arkansas," said Jim Boardman, an assistant commissioner with Arkansas' DOE Division of Research and Technology. "By giving our students access to Penda's engaging and standards-aligned math and science activities, we are supplementing our classroom teaching and helping teachers improve student proficiency."

This paper presents two main results relating to elliptic curve cryptography. First, a double point compression scheme is proposed which allows a compact representation of elliptic curve points without the computational cost associated with ordinary single point compression. A triple point compression scheme is also proposed which can result in more savings in memory and/or bandwidth. Second, a new approach to speeding up random point multiplication is given for the case where the base point is variable but available in a certificate. In this approach, some redundant information (a few multiples of the base point) is added to the certificate. It is shown that a significant speed up can be obtained by optimizing the Möller's algorithm for the case where only a portion of the lookup table is available. It is also shown how to use redundant information to compute random point multiplication using parallel processors. The proposed point compression schemes can be employed to reduce the required bandwidth when single point compression is computationally expensive.

Ion-beam-sputtered (IBS) Coatings for Ultrafast Lasers and Applications
N. Anderson, L. Wang and T. Erdogan
In optics, dispersion is the phenomenon in which the phase velocity of a light wave in the material depends on its frequency (wavelength). One of the most well-known examples of dispersion is the splitting of white light into its full spectrum of colors (wavelengths) as it passes through a glass prism. Chromatic dispersion also causes the focal length of imaging lenses to be wavelength dependent, and thus specially designed lenses are required to mitigate chromatic effects on image quality in applications like optical microscopy. Both of these examples of so-called material dispersion involve continuous wave (cw) light. For pulsed light the effects of material dispersion are even more pronounced, with the most striking effects observed when ultrashort laser pulses are used. Here ultrashort laser pulses are defined as pulses having a temporal full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) below about 1 picosecond (ps), and therefore typically measured on the femtosecond (fs) timescale (10-15 sec). (As a result of an optical analog to the Heisenberg Uncertainty relation, such...

At this point we would like to take a critical look at the data processing of the intelligence services.
Within the scope of their legal mandate, the federal intelligence services process a wide range of data from different sources, including digital communication and information flows, from which they collect and evaluate, for example, the content and metadata of telecommunications. Various control bodies check whether this is carried out correctly. More: Supervision over federal intelligence services
Who can monitor telecommunications in Germany under what conditions? Can the intelligence services just do that, for no particular reason? Will the person concerned ever know whether his phone calls have been intercepted? The following article shall provide answers to these questions. More: Telecommunications surveillance in Germany


Seed: Conceal
Illusion (Glamer)
Spellcraft DC: 17
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Personal or touch
Target: You or a creature or object of up to 2,000 lb.
Duration: 200 minutes or until expended (D)
Saving Throw: None or Will negates (harmless, object)
Spell Resistance: No or Yes (harmless, object)
This seed can conceal a creature or object touched from sight, even from darkvision. If the subject is a creature carrying gear, the gear vanishes too, rendering the creature invisible. A spell using the conceal seed ends if the subject attacks any creature. Actions directed at unattended objects do not break the spell, and causing harm indirectly is not an attack. To create invisibility that lasts regardless of the actions of the subject, increase the Spellcraft DC by +4. Alternatively, this seed can conceal the exact location of the subject so that it appears to be about 2 feet away from its true location; this increases the Spellcraft DC by +2. The subject benefits from a 50% miss chance as if it had total concealment. However, unlike actual total concealment, this displacement effect does not prevent enemies from targeting him or her normally. The conceal seed can also be used to block divination spells, spell-like effects, and epic spells developed using the reveal seed; this increases the Spellcraft DC by +6. In all cases where divination magic of any level, including epic level, is employed against the subject of a spell using the conceal seed for this purpose, an opposed caster level check determines which spell works.

Speech my aim in life can be a dicey one. Since the presenter may have a particular aim that the audience might find unrelatable or irrelevant to them according to their perspective. Ambition is often associated with a negative terminology of one being greedy and selfish. The speaker who is assigned to deliver my aim in life speech can focus on the direction ambition can give to an individual. Ambition surely is a very individualistic process of discovering one aim, especially for a student. In this article, of speech on aim in my life, we will explore different ways of delivering it. It can be a long speech on aim of life student or a short my aim in life speech.
Long and Short Speech on Aim of My Life
Long Speech on Aim of My Life
This type of long speech on aim in life can be helpful for students in grades 8-12 who can elaborate on the importance of aim and speak about their own ambitions as well.
Good morning everyone, respected principal, teachers, and my dear friends, I am Xyz (mention your name) here to talk about the aim of my life. Let me first ask all of you, my friends, what are your ambitions? Have you ever thought about what actually it is to have an aim in life is? Ambition is a very subjective term it means different to different people. The common ground for everyone when one thinks of aim is the desire to achieve something by doing something that they are passionate about and interested in.
It is a very common question that our peers and even elders ask what is your aim in life? Many people find it difficult to decide on one specific aim in particular some have multiple interests and want to excel in all, which is quite a task. I have always believed that instead of being a jack of all trades one needs to be a master of one.
I have always seen my elder brother having an aim throughout his school life. Sometimes it was to score well in exams, be the school captain and sometimes it was to get admission to his desired university. It was through him that I understood having ambition is so important, it is the source of inspiration and the driving force behind leading a fulfilling life.
Having an aim actually drives you to have a purpose in life and to continuously keep on working towards it. To discover your aim, one must explore different interests and keep on trying. One can have a short-term goal that can also be the aim to be fulfilled. And other kinds of ambitions can be professional or personal. People who are aimless have no driving force that inspires them to wake up every morning to get to work and fulfill their ambitions. And they often fall prey to the vicious cycle of lethargy, inactiveness, lack of motivation, or will to do better or get anywhere in life. And thus one must be ambitious.
I was also one among those who had many interests and tried to do everything, it was a challenge to sit still and actually think about something that I am truly passionate about and ambitious enough to achieve as well. I have always been philanthropic thanks to my grandfather who has always inculcated this value in me since I was a little girl/boy.
During one such visit with my grandfather where I was accompanying him to assist in his medical aid program to the underprivileged, I realized I want to do just this. I want to become a doctor just like my grandfather. It was a shocker for my family when I told them this, they reasoned saying since I was always into extracurricular activities and arts completely diving into such an academic route will require hard work and a lot of sacrifices.
Having an ambition doesn't make the mountain of hurdles and obstacles smaller it just makes the climb easier and gives strength to keep going. I am preparing and working hard in all the subjects that I need to for scoring well in the entrance exam. Only then I can attend a prestigious university.
Everything in life needs our effort, time, and patience no matter what field it is. Nothing is served on a silver platter, one might think it would be so much better to enjoy than to work hard. Well, decide what it is that you want to achieve, having an aim will make all the hard work worthwhile. I know some of my friends want to become, teachers, singers, actors, mathematicians, dancers, sportsmen. I wish you all the best to work and have patience even when it gets difficult.
Thank you.
Short Speech on Aim of My Life
This short speech on aim of life student will find it very easy to deliver and understand its meaning. Very helpful for students in grades 4-7.
Good morning everyone, I am ABC (mention your name) here to speak about the aim of my life. We all have dreams and multiple ones that we wish would come true. Ambition and aim on the other hand do not work like that, one cannot wish for it to come true. When dreams become realistic goals we can consider it as our aim in life to be achieved so we feel worthy and happy.
My aim in life is to become a teacher just like my mother, and all my teachers here have also played a part in me coming to realize my aim. My mother is the most important and inspiring person in my life. She is the best teacher, many of her students reach out to her even when they have something personal to share. A teacher is a teacher even beyond classrooms, I find so much beauty and depth in my mother's profession that it has inspired me to take upon this as my aim as well.
I also want to have a part and role in children's development and help them become responsible and accountable individuals. Teachers truly hold a reputation for being strict but when one has the responsibility of the next generation leaders of the country some level of strictness will push the students. The teacher understands when to be strict and when to be the student's friend. And they walk a tightrope in balancing all of this. I hope my inspiration will help me to work hard and achieve the aim of my life.
Thank you.
10 Line Speech on Aim of My Life
This easy 10 line speech is helpful for students in grades 1-3 for a better understanding of my aim in my life speech.
 1. Ambition is the willingness to achieve something in life depending on one's interest, it can be different for every individual.
 2. Having an aim makes one's life meaningful and filled with purpose.
 3. It inspires, motivates, and humbles an individual when they are trying to achieve something they have set their minds on.
 4. An aimless person is directed towards hard life with no purpose and no hope.
 5. Ambitions give us hope for a better future.
 6. For a better tomorrow, we need to put in the work today and be dedicated to it, and consider every challenge as an opportunity to get closer to achieving our ambitions.
 7. When you achieve your aim in life you feel honoured and empowered.
 8. People around you also respect a successful person who puts in the work to achieve and excel at anything they have set their mind to.
 9. My aim in life is to become a dancer, I have already enrolled myself in a course. Thanks to my mother who has always encouraged me to pursue my interests.
 10. I wish to become a renowned Kathak dancer and give stage performances on an international level and bring laurels to my country and make my parents proud of me.

Broadheads kill by cutting blood vessels, unlike the high-energy shock of bullets. Hemorrhage is typically the result. A responsible bowhunter will use razor-sharp broadheads and only take shots that allow a clear, close shot to the vital area of the game animal.
Many archers' injuries come from broadheads. Broadheads must be kept razor-sharp for hunting, which creates a safety problem if they are handled carelessly.
To prevent injury:
- Use a special wrench to screw on broadheads. This device covers the blades while a broadhead is being tightened on an arrow. If a wrench isn't used, the slightest slip can cause a serious cut. When sharpening broadheads, always stroke the blade away from your hands and body.
- Keep broadheads covered with a quiver while traveling to and from the field. Many arrow injuries occur while loading or unloading equipment in vehicles.
- While dressing bow-killed game, remember that the broadhead may remain in the animal. Use great caution until all parts of the broadhead have been found.

Higher education transformations for global competitiveness : policy responses, social consequences and impact on the academic profession in Asia
Higher Education Policy
managing global cities, massification of higher education, labour market, regional education hub, entrepreneurial university
Since the mid-1990s, the pressure of globalization and the pressing demands of a knowledge economy led to a series of educational reforms. The focus of these was the promotion of quality education and massification of higher education. After the Asian financial crisis in 1997, the governments in different parts of Asia have implemented comprehensive reforms to their higher education systems in order to enhance their global competiveness. Confronted with increasing pressure for global university ranking, governments and universities in Asia have tried to adopt different strategies in terms of special funding schemes, and different forms of measures in shaping teaching, learning and research activities to enhance their global ranking. This article sets out against the context briefly outlined above to highlight major higher education transformations for global competitiveness, with particular reference to discuss policy responses, social consequences, and impact on the academic profession in Asia especially when major attention is geared towards the quest for global university ranking among universities in Asia.

SLANESVILLE, W.Va. -- Ice Mountain, the Hampshire County peak that earned its name and a recent National Natural Landmark designation for the refrigeration effect that takes place inside a sloping mass of boulders along its base, shows signs of thawing.
Since 1983, researchers from West Virginia University have been using temperature loggers to track the temperature of air flowing from some of nearly 150 natural vents found at the base of a 60-foot-thick boulder field that extends nearly to the top of the 1,500-foot peak.
The boulder field, or talus slope in geological terms, "is a very good cold-air trap," said Dr. J. Steven Kite, the geology professor at WVU who leads the Ice Mountain monitoring program. "The talus slope provides a lot of intake area, and the R-value of having 60 feet of rock for insulation must be in the thousands."
In winter, dense, cold air sinks deep into the Oriskany sandstone talus, and ice masses form in the spaces between the rocks. "By late winter," Kite said, "everything freezes and the vents close."
As the weather warms in spring and summer, air much cooler than outside temperatures is released through the ice vents at the base of the talus slope. The ice vent section at the bottom of the slope is about 250 yards long and 30 yards wide. "It takes months for the cold air to come out," Kite said.
For the past three years, though, air blowing from the vents at the base of Ice Mountain has reached above-freezing temperatures slightly earlier than usual. And this year, a 1 degree Celsius reading was attained on April 25, more than three weeks earlier than in any other year in which Kite and his graduate students have been logging temperatures.
Having the ice gone from Ice Mountain so early "is significant," said Rodney Bartgis, state director of The Nature Conservancy in West Virginia, which has protected a 159-acre section of Ice Mountain, including the ice vent area, since 1989. "There's reason to be concerned that a warming event may be going on."
A unique community of plants normally found at much higher latitudes and elevation has thrived in rocky soil near the ice vents probably since the end of the last Ice Age, according to Bartgis.
"It's one of the most remarkable features about this site," he said.
Dwarf dogwood, a plant that ranges from Eastern Canada to Alaska and also can be found at scattered sites above 4,000 feet in West Virginia, is found at an elevation of about 750 feet at the base of Ice Mountain. The bristly rose, also known as Arctic rose and the official provincial flower of Alberta, is another Canadian and Alaskan species that can be found at Ice Mountain, along with the twinflower, another plant normally found hundreds of miles to the north. At least six boreal, or Northern, plant species can be found near the base of Ice Mountain.
"Although this place and the plants that live here have likely persisted since the end of the Pleistocene [about 11,700 years ago], there is no promise that it will remain as it is through the coming decades," Bartgis said.
Kite said a lack of historic scientific data on Ice Mountain's natural refrigeration system makes it difficult to determine just how significant the current warming trend might be.

Harney County, Oregon covers 10,180 square miles, but only about seven thousand people live within its boundaries. One can travel along a main highway for miles without seeing a house or fence, just an occasional road that leads seemingly nowhere. The discovery of gold in the early 1860s brought thousands of prospectors through the area. Cattle ranchers, attracted by the vast amount of bunchgrass soon began moving their herds into the region.

Template:Image requestedEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
Revision as of 06:59, 13 October 2011 by Cottrells (Talk | contribs)
This template is used to request that someone take a photograph for an article or add an image (from another source) to an article.
It is not a general-purpose "no image present" indicator. Editors placing this template on a talk page should provide information about what photographs are wanted.
Categorize your request
Although it is possible to add just the template {{image requested}} to a talk page it is strongly advised that you add at least one category parameter. If you don't categorize your request, it will be lost in a large list, Category:Articles needing images, and may not receive attention from subject/regional photographers, and it is more likely to be deleted by other editors.
For example, if a picture of a specific car is required then the following should be added to the talk page: {{image requested|cars}} - this will then be added to Category:Requested photographs of cars. Picture of places are sorted by location, for example {{image requested|in=Norway}}
Adding more than one subject to the list of parameters will bring it to the attention of more people. If, for example, the subject is found in a location (or predominantly is in one country) then you can add more additional categories like so: {{image requested|computer equipment|in=Russia}}
If you are requiring a specific image of the article subject, it is possible to add detailed text. For example, in the talk page of a specific building: {{image requested|architecture|in=London|of=main entrance hall}}
For a full list of categories in use, go to Category:Articles needing images. When selecting a category please click down to the most relevant sub-category and select the most appropriate to the topic of the article requiring a photograph. Adding more than one subject category in the template is recommended.
Explain your request
If the subject matter isn't perfectly obvious (such as an article about a physical object), please explain your request on the talk page. It is very helpful to give photographers your ideas, particularly for abstract ideas, such as legal and philosophical concepts.
If you have a specific idea for another image, then use the |of= parameter to name the specific picture that you would like. This is particularly helpful if there are already images in the article.
Unexplained and uncategorized templates may be deleted by any editor.
The template employs several optional data field parameters as described below.
{{Image requested
Parameters legend
 - 1=: may be passed to indicate an appropriate topic subcategory. The positional parameter alternatively may be unnamed (e.g., instead of "|1=xxx", the string "|xxx" would have the same results as "|1=xxx").
Up to three positional parameters (e.g., 1=, 2=, 3=) may be used to specify appropriate subcategories. For example, use {{image requested|1=sportspeople|2=musicians}} or {{image requested|sportspeople|musicians}} to add the page to Category:Requested photographs of sportspeople and Category:Requested photographs of musicians.
 - of=: may be passed to indicate what the subject of the photograph should be.
 - in=: specifies where the photograph may best be taken, and adds the article to the appropriate location subcategory (e.g. {{image requested|in=England}} adds the article to Category:England articles needing images)
Additional in2=, in3=,... up to in20= parameters may be used to specify up to twenty location categories (such as for roads that cross multiple counties or celebrities and others who may frequent multiple locations).
 - collapsed=: may be set to collapsed=yes to close up the template message box.
If more than six locations are specified (e.g., in=, in2=, in3=, in4=, in5=, in6=, in7=... are used), the template message box will collapse automatically without using the collapsed= parameter. Specifying collapsed=no will keep the template message box expanded no matter how many in= parameters are specified (e.g., no matter how many locations are specified).
 - small=: toggles the message box from standard size to small, if small=yes.
 - category=: suppresses the automatic categorization if category=no.
 - free=: if free=yes, the substituted text will explicitly request a freely-licensed photograph.
 - If no category or location parameters are present, this template adds the article to Category:Articles needing images.
{{image requested| |of=|in=|in2=|in3=}}
Alternatives to this template
As an alternative, some talk page WikiProject banners can also list an article as needing a photograph. However, where the talk page banners do not highlight a need for a photograph in an article or where photographs for the article are requested in more than three locations, this template may be placed on the talk (discussion) page of the article, instead.
Another alternative is to find existing photographs that might meet the needs.

How can the DLCA be used for planning new development?20 June 2016
New development needs to take full account of its relationship with the landscape. Understanding the landscape context of development is an essential first step of the design process. The DLCA helps developers to understand the characteristics of different areas of landscape and of the impacts of potential development. This helps in the identification of sites that are suitable for different types of development. When a development site has been identified, the key characteristics of the landscape can inform the design and layout of new development.
