Fight Song
In U.S. and Canadian sports, a fight song is a song associated with a team. In both professional and amateur sports, fight songs are a popular way for fans to cheer for their team, and are also laden with history; in singing a fight song, fans feel part of a large, time-honored tradition.[1] Although the term "fight song" is primarily used in the United States, the use of fight songs is commonplace around the world, but they may also be referred to as team anthems, team songs or games songs in other countries, even such as Australia, Mexico and New Zealand. Fight songs differ from stadium anthems, used for similar purposes, in that they are usually written specifically for the purposes of the team, whereas stadium anthems are not.
Hundreds of colleges have fight songs, some of which are over a century old. The oldest collegiate fight song in the United States is Boston College's "For Boston", composed by T.J. Hurley in 1885.[2]
One of the oldest games songs in Australia is Melbourne Grammar's 'Play Together, Dark Blue Twenty', which is sung to the tune of 'The March of the Men of Harlech'.[3][4] It was composed by Ambrose John Wilson who was principal of the school from _PHONE_.[5] This is not to be confused with the school hymn 'Ora et Labora' which is now sung to the tune of 'Jerusalem'.[6]

 3. ^ The Melbourne Grammar games song comprises verses from the school's three main sports at the time, Australian rules football, cricket and rowing. For example the Australian rules verse is:
 'Play together, Dark Blue Twenty,
 Long and little marks in plenty;
 Get your kick, let none prevent ye,
 Make the leather roll.
 Mark your men, keen effort straining,
 On the ball and show your training;
 Still though short the time remaining,
 Get another goal.'
 The chorus between each verse is:
 'None our ranks shall sunder.
 Who will shirk or blunder?
 If all are true
 To our Dark Blue,
 Our foemen must go under.
 Honour ye the old School's story,
 Those who played and won before ye,
 Bear the Dark Blue flag to glory,
 Grammar to the fore.'
 The cricket verse:
 Bat with patience unremitting,
 Yorker, shooter, break outwitting,
 All the loose ones freely hitting,
 That's the game to play.
 Skill the bat and ball in wielding,
 Smartness, judgement in the fielding,
 Iron nerve and pluck unyielding,
 Scarce can lose the day.
 The rowing verse:
 Row the race, boys swing together,
 Sinews tough as cords of leather,
 Strong, yet light upon the feather,
 Lift her, make her go!
 Get the catch at the beginning,
 Churn the tide in eddies spinning,
 Now a spurt, you gain! you're winning!
 Melbourne Grammar, row!
 A fourth verse with its own chorus was added in the early 20th century with imperial connotations:
 'Some, in strife of sterner omen,
 Faced the Empire's stubborn foemen;
 Fought, as erst their sires - her yeomen;
 Won the deathless name.
 Praise ye these who stood for Britain,
 These by foreign marksmen smitten;
 Praise them, for their names are written
 High in storied fame.
 None their ranks could sunder;
 Who could shirk or blunder?
 So stood they true
 To the old Dark Blue,
 And all their foes went under.
 Honour ye the old School's story,
 Heroes who - her sons before ye -
 Died or lived, but fought for glory,
 Honoured evermore.'
 While it is not officially discontinued, this addition is no longer sung.

Now, without doing anything else, change back to the HOME view and type X and press ENTER. The value which appears is the stored x coordinate of the last intersection point found. To find the y coordinate, evaluate F1(X) (or F2(X) - for that point the values are the same). This value can be used in calculations in the HOME view (such as 3*F1(X)+1 or LN(X)).
If you've found a Root or Extremum then you can do the same thing. If you've just used the FCN menu to find a Slope or Signed Area then you can also retrieve these but the method is a little more involved. Just use the A..Z button to type AREA or SLOPE and hit Enter.
Other values similar to these are stored in the Statistics aplet for you to use. Try this: go the APLET view, START the Statistics aplet, set it to 1VAR and enter a set of data into column C1. Make sure that SYMB is set with C1 ticked. Press the STATS button so that the univariate statistics are displayed. Now change back to the HOME view and press the VARS button. At the bottom of the screen you will see that is 'ticked' and that next to it is. Press and move the highlight down to 'Stat-One' and 'Stat-Two'. These contain the list of calculated stats variables. For example, if you move to the right into the 'Stat-One' menu you will find all the variables listed in the STATS info screen seen earlier. These can be transferred to the HOME view and used in calculations. Just highlight them and press OK. The name appears in the HOME view and pressing Enter retrieves the value.
Note that what you see when you press the
button depends on which aplet is active.
WARNING: The values stored are those of the last calculation done. If you have more than one column ticked in the SYMB view, resulting in multiple columns in the STATS display then the stored values will be for the last column only. If you wanted to calculate (for example) the mean plus 1.5 standard deviations for 3 different sets of data then you should use the VAR key to enter Mean+1.5*PSDev (Mean has a'sigma' symbol after it which I can't show on this web page) into the HOME view and evaluate it for the first set of data. Then go back to the Statistics aplet and calculate the STATS for the next set and repeat. (The values are not stored in the VARs until you press STATS.)
If you go to my Utilities page you'll find a software package you can download that lets you send and receive notes, programs and aplets from the calculator to the PC and back. Windows only, I'm afraid! Any view which has SEND and RECV buttons can send either to a computer or to another calculator. You need the cable that came with your calculator - if you've lost it then just go to any electronics shop and ask for a mini-USB cable. They cost about $10 - $20.
See my Help page for a series of instructional pages on what hardware you need, what software and how to install it, and then how to use it all and where to look for aplets. You'll also find pages on programming the calculator which include screen shots.
Just set up the aplet (whichever it is) exactly the way you want it, change into the APLET view and then, while it is highlighted, press SAVE. Give it a name and press ENTER.
The aplet can easily now be transferred to the students' calculators via the infra-red link. Once the class becomes used to this procedure it takes about 2 - 4 minutes for a class of 25 to 30. You send to one student, then the two of you send to two more, then the four of you send to... etc.
You can also save your aplet to a PC if you install the software (see my Utilities page). This means that you can re-use it next year!
Any of those values are now accessible in the HOME view by simply typing the appropriate letter. For example if you change to the HOME view and type T and hit ENTER, you will get the value I quoted above. If you type 3T+2, then you'll get 3 times the value of T plus 2. You can also use this in reverse. If you have done a calculation in the HOME view and you want to use it as the value of one of the variables in an equation in Solve, then just it into the appropriate memory and it will be pre-loaded when you enter the NUM view in Solve.
In the Solve aplet, enter the equation 2*SIN(X)+2=1 in to the SYMB view. Change to PLOT SETUP and set the XRng to 0 to 2pi (using the 3 key to enter pi) and the YRng to -3.1 to 3.2. Enter an XTICK value of pi/4. Now press PLOT. Move the cross-hair close to the first solution (at about X=3.6) and then press NUM. If you now press SOLVE, the calculator will find the nearest solution of 3.665...
Change to the MODES screen and set the NUMBER FORMAT to 'Fraction 6'. Now change to the HOME view and type in X/pi. The answer is 7/6, so the required value is 7pi over 6. Basically you are removing the pi from the answer and giving the calculator the chance to tell you what the associated fraction was.
Now press PLOT, move near the other solution, press NUM and SOLVE, change back to HOME and press ENTER (to repeat the last calculation). This time the solution is 11 pi on 6.
The same method can be used in the Function aplet to find the exact value of intersections. Simply retrieve the value of the last intersection in HOME by typing X in the HOME view and use the same method to isolate the fraction.
Warning! Don't forget to change out of Fraction mode when you finish! If you have put the calculator into Fraction mode then it is going to give you a fractional answer even if the value you gave it was never meant to be one! If you get a fraction like 113/457 then you might suspect that there is a problem. See "How does the Fraction mode work?"
Try this. Use MODES to change into 'Fraction 4' mode. Now go into HOME and type 0.33 and ENTER. You should find that it converts 0.33 into 33/100. Now try the same with 0.333333 This time you will find that it gives you 1/3. Why the difference?
The makers of the calculator have taken a very different approach. Once you select Fraction mode, all numbers become fractions - even decimals. If you are only going to be using fractions from that point on, then this will not cause a problem as long as you bear the following two points in mind….
For example, a setting in the MODES view of....
Basically, the value of 'n' in 'Fraction n' affects the degree of precision used in converting the decimal to a fraction. This can be useful if you understand what is happening. For example, a setting of Fraction 4 produces a strange (but actually fairly accurate) result for 0.667, while changing to a setting of Fraction 2 will give a result of 2/3. In other words, what makes this approach taken by the calculator useful is that it is often capable of producing results which may be strictly less accurate but are probably closer to what was intended by the 0.667 in the first place.
If you are wanting to use this facility to convert decimals to fractions, here are some tips…
Forgetting the current setting of Fraction can produce some unfortunate effects. For example, at Fraction 2, the value of 123.456 becomes 123, with the 0.456 dropped entirely!
This need for a correct setting of Fraction extends even to working purely with fractions. For example a setting of 'Fraction 4' will correctly result in 1/3 + 4/5 = 17/15. If you use a setting of only Fraction 2 to perform this, you will find to your amazement that 1/3 + 4/5 = 8/7! The reason is that the 1/3 and 4/5 were converted to decimals and added to give 1.133333…. This was converted back to a fraction (needing to match only to 2 sig. fig.) to give 8/7 (which is 1.1428..).
In conclusion, while it is not at all suggested that you dismiss the use of the Fraction format, it is important that you understand and remember its limitations. See an earlier question regarding using fraction mode for exact trig values.
This affects the POLYROOT function too. If you use POLYROOT to solve the quadratic equation of x^2+4x+5=0, which does not cross the x axis (try graphing it!) you will find that it gives the roots as complex numbers. They are NOT (x,y) points on the x, y axes! Don't use them - just write "No real solution".
ie.POLYROOT([1,4,5]) gives [(-2,1),(-2,-1)]
Another similar problem is with the inverse trig functions. Since sine and
cosine have ranges of -1 to 1, there should be no answer

Ghost in the Shell Weakness
Summary: Users can be inserted into a system's underlying operating system that cannot be seen by the administrator's view from the web admin interface. This allows undetectable users (Ghosts) access to the system, usually at least via ssh (Shell) access, sometimes even web access, and the administrators have no insight or control over these accounts. This is a result in a weakness in these systems where the user information reflected in the web interface used by the administrator does not mirror the users in the underlying operating system; it is a issue between the authentication and the authorization in a system.
Numerous systems utilize a web front-end for administrative control. They also offer the ability to add, alter and drop users with various privileges as it relates to the functionality of the system.
Ghost in the Shell is potential architectural weakness in these systems where the user information reflected in the web interface used by the administrator does not mirror the users in the underlying operating system. Many web UI or REST APIs use the underlying operating system for authentication, the system's logic also tracks an additional set of user capabilities within their own configuration files and datasets for authorization capabilities. If there is a discrepancy between the user information in the UI or REST API's interface system and the underlying operating system's user listing, this may create a weakness in the system. The user information in the underlying operating system can be manipulated in ways that will not reflect back to the administrator's interface to the system. This allows a malicious user to insert an account into the base operating system that will not be viewable by an administrator utilizing the web or REST interface functionality, a Ghost account. Furthermore, the inserted user can have root privileges, allowing for full access to the system including access to a remote Shell. In some cases, the Ghost account may also have access to the web interface. In other observed cases, the user can authenticate to the web UI to gain access while still not showing as a valid user in the admin view.
If the user exist in the underlying operating system, but not in the web interface's authorization database, the web interface can allow the user to log in, but because they don't exist within the Web Apps User list, they may not be displayed as an existing user. An admin would have no way of managing/removing/updating the account.
I first stumbled across this when doing some pen testing against one of my devices a couple of years ago. While poking around, I captured a create new user message for a new user, User2.
The Group_Name field peeked my me curiousity as it had "Users" for the group, so I tried changing the value to "admin"…
.. and hit submit. The system I was testing returned a success but when I looked at the list of users, there was no "User2" listed.
Out of curiosity, I tried SSHing into the device with the user account User2 with the defined password and…
I was able to ssh into the device with the User2 account even though the web system did not show User2 as a valid user; the account even had root privileges! Next, I then tried to log in via the web interface with User2, was let in and had admin privileges from the web interface as well. I had created a user in the system, with admin privileges, who could not be administered via the admin's web interface. From the admin's perspective, User2 did not exist; it was a Ghost account with ssh Shell privileges.
I noted all the details down for a report (this was reported to the company in 2017). I thought this was a really interesting finding but it wasn't until a few days later that this might be more wide spread problem.
I started looking to see if other systems had similar issues; to quickly check, I would ssh into a device and directly insert a user into the Linux passwd and shadow file. I would then log into the web interface using the standard admin account to see if the inserted user was listed. I found multiple cases where the system did not display the inserted user to the admin. Note, this inserted (Ghost) user always was able to ssh (Shell) into the device. In some cases, the inserted user was even able to log into the web interface; the admin's view from the web interface would not display the Ghost user.
An attacker can exploit this weakness through several methods:
2. An attacker can leverage a command injection attack available through the web interface to insert a Ghost account with Shell privileges such as ssh.
3. An attacker can leverage existing web interface APIs, manipulated in such a way that a new user is interested into the operating system and the user web account is either partially created or not at all.
4. Attacker can create an admin account which is viewable by an administrator, use this account to create the Ghost account, delete logs and delete the first created admin account.
Many of these attacker scenarios can be realized by leveraging a number of available XSS, command injection authentication bypass or logic flaws attacks on the various systems.
Yes, the attacker usually needs some form of admin privileges but it provides them persistent access that cannot be managed nor viewed; this is the danger.
A system administrator, using the web UI or REST interface, would have no means to detect the existence of such an account nor would they have a way to remove such an account.On a number of such systems, the administrators do not utilize or even have access to a command line interface.
This weakness has been confirmed in popular network access devices from two different manufacturers. As shown above for one device, a specially crafted Create User message would allow an attacker to insert an account with full root privileges, including ssh and the web interface but will not be displayed in the user management screen. In both, an account can be injected into the base operating system's passwd and shadow files, allowing ssh access, that is not shown in the web interface's user management screens. The weakness has also been confirmed in three other systems.
To test if your device has this weakness, this is a sample inject into a Linux system that will add an account "user2" with root privileges on one of the NAS devices. Ssh into the target system with root privileges and inject the following account "user2" directly into the Linux system. (Note, backup your passwd and shadow file first)
echo "user2:x:0:0::/root:/" >> /etc/passwd; echo "user2:\$6\$IdvyrM6VJnG8Su5U\$1gmW3Nm.IO4vxTQDQ1C8urm72JCadOHZQwqiH/nRtL8dPY80xS4Ovsv5bPCMWnXKKWwmsocSWXupUf17LB3oS.:17256:0:99999:7:::" >> /etc/shadow;
If the above resulted in an account that was not viewable from the web interface but could still SSH into the device and/or also login via the web interface; then your system may be vulnerable to the Ghost in the Shell weakness. The password should be the single character "1"; it is for testing only.
This research was conducted on my own time, on my personally owned hardware, devices and systems and is in no way connected with my employer.

Reflected XSS
Working with Synology
Preventing XSS in Your Application
Explain XSS and How to Mitigate It?
This is one of my interview questions; almost everyone can explain XSS decently but very few understand how to protect against it. I have heard everything from sanitizing input (wrong) to using ESAPI to filter incoming requests (even more wrong since ESAPI in support mode with no new features and is mostly used for black list filtering), to a few mentioning output encoding (mostly right but context matters) and so far, only one has mentioned Content Security Policy headers.
What is XSS
Cross Site Scripting happens when a malicious actor sends a string to a server. This string is delivered to the victim's web browser and the browser interprets the string as a script to execute. These scripts can perform many different malicious actions on behalf of the malicious actor using the victim's authenticated sessions.
There are three types of XSS. 1) Reflected XSS is when input sent to a server in a request and is immediately returned; an example would be a search parameter whose value is returned in a page. 2) Stored XSS is when the server retains the string and later delivers it when certain pages are viewed such as a posted message in a board or a Name field. 3) The third type, DOM based XSS, is not addressed.
The above image shows a XSS embedded in a digital certificate. I was able to create a digital certificate with a XSS in the certificate's name. This allowed the XSS to bypass the system's Black and White lists. When the admin viewed the certificate, the server decoded the cert and sent the strings to the admin's web browser where the XSS was rendered. In this case, the XSS was a Rick Roll (one of my favorite demonstrations) but any javascript could have been embedded in the field. The above was fixed years ago before it ever

It's the closest any of us are likely to get to telekinesis. New animations created by Stuart Anstis from the University of California, San Diego, are showing how changing your gaze can alter the direction in which objects are moving.
If you watch this video normally, the moving circles in the first animation rotate while the shifting dots in the second clip follow a horizontal path. But if you look away and watch the movie out of the corner of your eye, the direction of motion will appear to change. In both cases, the moving objects seem to follow the direction of the background stripes.
The illusion proves that we perceive motion very differently when it's in the periphery compared with when it's picked up by the fovea, a tiny area at the back of the eye responsible for central vision. Looking at a scene directly results in the sharpest vision, whereas our peripheral vision is good at picking up motion but poor at making out the details of shapes. "That's why when you wave at someone in a crowded airport, your peripheral motion detectors pick up the motion and an eye movement steers the target onto the fovea for more detailed analysis," says Anstis.
The animation was a finalist in the 2012 Best Illusion of the Year Contest and was presented earlier this month at the event gala in Naples, Florida.

The 1919-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar (Buy on eBay) does not have a particularly low mintage, however gem graded examples represent a great rarity for the series.
There were a total of 1,165,000 half dollars struck at the Denver Mint in 1919. The coins subsequently saw heavy circulation, narrowing the survival rate for pristine examples. Furthermore, consistently weak strikes and subsequent melting have contributed to the low availability of uncirculated examples.
On a combined basis, the coin grading firms PCGS and NGC show fewer than 400 pieces graded MS60 or higher. The number of coins graded MS65 or higher drops to only 15 examples. There is only a single MS-66 graded example known. This coin has sold for more than $250,000 on two separate occasions.

Remembrance Day
This year in school we have marked Remembrance Day slightly differently. Due to the current COVID restrictions we have not held year group assemblies so instead form tutors have shared a thought provoking presentation set to music. Students also completed a general knowledge quiz to help them to reflect upon the reasons for the commemoration.
A group of students in year 8 went on to work together to create a cascading poppy installation in the school corridor. They decorated multi-faith symbols of remembrance with thoughtful words and reflections. Members of our student leadership team were also filmed reading the poem 'futility' by Wilfred Owen. This was then shown to all classes on Remembrance Day. Our Graphics teacher also shared the fantastic way that year 11 students had explored the theme of Remembrance Day through their subject. The poppy images were made by GCSE Graphics students in response to a cross curricular Graphics/English project based on the poem 'Poppies' by Jane Weir. A selection of those images are shared in this article.
We are incredibly proud of the respectful attitudes that our students have shown and their enthusiasm for ensuring that St Matthias marked this important day in the most wonderful of ways!

file_exists() and file_get_contents() fail on a file which is named output‹ÕÍÕ¥.txt (as an example), although I know it exists?
I'm guessing its got something to do with the special characters within the file name?.
So was wondering whats a workaround?
Appreciate all responses.
Please note, if your thinking why not simply change the file name? - I can't as the file name is generated generically, and to change the file name will be mean using PHP's file functions (which don't seem to allow special characters within the file name args - unless I've misinterpreted/misunderstood anything).
I'm using PHP 5.2 on Windows.

_USER_: There is no need to shell escape for file_exists and the like AFAIK. – hakre Jul 9 '11 at 13:13
_USER_: How do you get the file-name? – hakre Jul 9 '11 at 13:13
1 Answer 1
Ensure that the encoding of the file-system is the same as the encoding of the string that contains the file-name in your PHP code.
Otherwise you're testing for the wrong file to exist.
For example, if your file-system does not support UTF-8 but the file-name is encoded in UTF-8.
So you have commented that the filename is in UTF-8 and you're using windows.
That's exactly the point my answer was about. As written here:
Bad news for Windows Users: Windows filesystems (FAT, FAT32, NTFS) are not UTF-8 aware. Filenames are encoded in ISO-8859-1 or CP437/CP850/( or whatever suits your language) depending on filesystem and localisation. So you will probably get in trouble trying to match filenames from database to filesystem if you follow this guide. (Although I've never tried it.)
Windows workaround: Modern windows versions support UTF-8 on mounted shares. Make a share of your mediafolder and mount it as a network drive.
So either make a share or encode the filename in the encoding that actually works with your filesystem. This is not a bug in PHP. You're just no checking for the right file-name, that's all.
Assuming you have NTFS which might accept UTF-16 (which is not really precise AFAIK, but you can give it a try), you could convert the UTF-8 filename into an UTF-16 fiĺename:
$name = mb_convert_encoding($name, 'UTF-16', 'UTF-8');
And then try if file_exists works. Keep in mind that his might not be technically correct, and you might have an additional encoding issue which prevents you from correct use even with this re-encoding.
Related: What encoding are filenames in NTFS stored as?
share|improve this answer
Well according to mb_detect_encoding() the file-name is UTF-8...after some googling I came accross the following bug: _URL_.php?id=46990? so if thats the case then instead of using file-system functions directly could I use exec() (or alike) to rename the file to a file-name in which the file-system functions accept? – newbtophp Jul 9 '11 at 14:16
_USER_: Err, that's exactly the point: Your windows does not support UTF-8 file-names most obviously. And that's not a bug in PHP after all. You'll notice that, if you pass that over to the shell as well. Edited the question for more clarity. You need to take care yourself having the right file-name. – hakre Jul 9 '11 at 14:28

I have a real-world problem which I'll try to abstract into an illustrative example.
So imagine I have data objects in a tree, where parent objects can access children, and children can access parents:
// Interfaces
interface IParent { List Children; }
interface IChild { TParent Parent; }
// Classes
class Top : IParent {}
class Middle : IParent, IChild {}
class Bottom : IChild {}
// Usage
var top = new Top();
var middles = top.Children; // List
foreach (var middle in middles) {
 var bottoms = middle.Children; // List
 foreach (var bottom in bottoms) {
 var middle = bottom.Parent; // Access the parent
 var top = middle.Parent; // Access the grandparent
All three data objects have properties that are persisted in two data stores (e.g. a database and a web service), and they need to reflect and synchronise with the stores. Some objects only request from the web service, some only write to it.
Data Mapper
My favourite pattern for data access is Data Mapper, because it completely separates the data objects themselves from the communication with the data store:
class TopMapper {
 public Top FetchById(int id) {
 var top = new Top(DataStore.TopDataById(id));
 top.Children = MiddleMapper.FetchForTop(Top);
 return Top;
class MiddleMapper {
 public Middle FetchById(int id) {
 var middle = new Middle(DataStore.MiddleDataById(id));
 middle.Parent = TopMapper.FetchForMiddle(middle);
 middle.Children = BottomMapper.FetchForMiddle(bottom);
 return middle;
This way I can have one mapper per data store, and build the object from the mapper I want, and then save it back using the mapper I want.
There is a circular reference here, but I guess that's not a problem because most languages can just store memory references to the objects, so there won't actually be infinite data.
The problem with this is that every time I want to construct a new Top, Middle or Bottom, it needs to build the entire object tree within that object's Parent or Children property, with all the data store requests and memory usage that that entails. And in real life my tree is much bigger than the one represented here, so that's a problem.
Requests in the object
In this the objects request their Parents and Children themselves:
class Middle {
 private List _children = null; // cache
 public List Children {
 get {
 _children = _children?? BottomMapper.FetchForMiddle(this);
 return _children;
 set {
 BottomMapper.UpdateForMiddle(this, value);
 _children = value;
I think this is an example of the repository pattern. Is that correct?
This solution seems neat - the data only gets requested from the data store when you need it, and thereafter it's stored in the object if you want to request it again, avoiding a further request.
However, I have two different data sources. There's a database, but there's also a web service, and I need to be able to create an object from the web service and save it back to the database and then request it again from the database and update the web service.
This also makes me uneasy because the data objects themselves are no longer ignorant of the data source. We've introduced a new dependency, not to mention a circular dependency, making it harder to test. And the objects now mask their communication with the database.
Other solutions
Are there any other solutions which could take care of the multiple stores problem but also mean that I don't need to build / request all the data every time?

Btw I always find it strange when I hear someone saying "favourite pattern". It's like saying "I have a favourite hammer" -- different hammers are useful for different jobs. Forget about how cool the hammer is and recognise it as appropriate for certain jobs, and other hammers appropriate for different jobs, etc. – occulus Dec 3 '12 at 17:37
_USER_ but people do have favourite hammers, because with the proliferation of hammers out there, they can be similar but vary slightly. The same is true of design patterns. As there is no absolute authoritative source for all "approved" design patterns (not everything is in Gang of Four), there are loads of slightly different but very similar ones created by different communities. When I say my favourite I mean I think it's the neatest but I recognise other people have other opinions. It would be the same with a hammer.

The undesirable part of your approach comes from having the data objects themselves unfreezing (loading, deserialising) themselves.
This is not a simple problem!
Ideally you want your data objects being quite simple, and some external agent being responsible for deserialising and serialising them using data that lives on disk, or on the network, etc.
One approach to this might use reflection and object introspection and fancy things like that.
Another approach might use to use "generic objects". A generic object can store an arbitrary amount of properties (i.e. fields/variables). Each field can be one of a few set types: int, string, byte array, reference to another generic object (that one is important), etc. So you can then model your data objects as generic objects.
The advantage of using "generic objects" is that you can then have a mechanism external (or super) to the generic object class through which its properties are accessed. This mechanism recognises when a field hasn't yet been loaded, and can fetch it from the appropriate source. It an also handle cache writing, e.g. fetching data from remote source, writing to to local cache.
The above is a very general sounding description, but it's not a trivial thing to implement so it might be hard to get any more specific without getting very verbose.
See also this SO question: _URL_
Also note that Core Data in iOS is an object grapher which handles lazy loading (faulting) -- your problem area is very similar to what Core Data addresses.
Core Data is an object graph and persistence framework provided by Apple [...] It allows data organised by the relational entity–attribute model to be serialised into XML, binary, or SQLite stores. The data can be manipulated using higher level objects representing entities and their relationships. Core Data manages the serialised version, providing object lifecycle and object graph management, including persistence.

I ended up sticking with the DataMapper pattern, but then changing my application:
For a long time I was using a builder to build up the complex object tree. But over time, I discovered that the inflexibility of this system made the code un-maintainable.
I now think that the problem of constructing objects where parent objects can access children and children can access parents is difficult for a good reason: because it's trying to create objects that are too tightly coupled to each other. Because of the tight coupling, it is impossible to create any objects without building up the entire tree.
What I ended up doing was restructuring the rest of my application to remove any hard dependencies, and instead including FetchForChild and FetchForParent methods on my DataMapper object, loosening the coupling.
This now works very well.

Between Two Seas (Traversing the Canal du Midi by yacht)
A typical Canal du Midi view. All photos on this post: Leica M9 Summilux 21mm
The Canal du Midi is more than just a convenient way to get from the Med to the Atlantic by boat, it is also extremely beautiful and despite its age, most efficient. The max speed in the canal is just 8 kmh and with about 20 minutes per lock the average speed works out at about 4 kmh which is no more than a pleasant walking pace. You might think that you'll never manage to do the 400 kms of its total length at that speed but even taking it relatively easy it can easily be done in two weeks.
If you love nature, peace and quiet, culture and history you will love the Canal du Midi. It was built 350 years ago and you will be amazed at the way it works. It really is a very impressive piece of engineering indeed and not a day went by when I did not reflect on the imagination and the foresight of the people who had the courage to make it happen all those years ago.
Most of the locks on the Canal du Midi are oval like this one. It works on the same principal of an arch. The idea being that it stops the lock walls collapsing when there is no water in them to support them.
The Canal du Midi was originally designed with commerce in mind and it was used to transport such commodities as wine, grain and fuels using barges pulled by horses. These barges, or Peniche as they are called in French were originally made of wood but more lately in steel. There are very few wooden ones left and almost all of the peniche on the Canal du Midi have been converted to house boats or tripper boats. Today the Canal du Midi is no longer used for transporting goods.
The way the French solved the many issues of just how to take a waterway through the whole country is fascinating. At the summit, some 650 feet above sea level are three lakes which feed the canal with the water that it needs and even today the canal is rarely short of water thanks to this. Along almost the entire length of the Canal du Midi were planted trees. These trees serve many purposes. The leaves provide shade from the southern French sun so that the horses did not over heat and reduce evaporation from the strong Midi summer sun but more than that, their roots hold the banks together and the leaves that fall line the canal bed and help to waterproof it.
Every now and then we'd come across a line of dead trees like these.
Most of the trees today are plane trees which were planted about 150 years ago to replace the original trees which were mostly fruit trees. Today the trees are under threat from a fungus which is killing them off at a disturbing rate. I asked many of the lock keepers (eclusiers) about it and received a different answer each time. Some said that the fungus came over during the war in the wooden cases that the Americans used to hold ammo but however it got here the results of the fungus are clear to see in the many dead trees along the way. Quite how the fungus is passed from one tree to another is not clear either.
Some eclusiers said that the fungus is in the water, others said that it was caused by people tying up to the trees and then spreading the disease when they subsequently tied to another tree further down the way. However this doesn't seem very likely as many of the trees that are affected are on corners and in other places where it is very unlikely that anyone has ever tied to them. More likely is that the fungus is carried in the water. This is born out by the fact that after the summit at Toulouse headed towards the Atlantic most of the trees are fine as the fungus cannot climb beyond the summit as the flow of water is always downwards. Some said that it was the spikes that people use to tie their boats to the banks and in many of the locks in affected areas there were pots of disinfectant that you are supposed to wash your spikes in before using them somewhere else.
In the round lock at Agde.
There were occasional signs at the effected areas instructing canal users not to tie up but since no one really knows what to do about it, all the measures are somewhat half hearted. It seems that the only remedy is to replace the trees with a more resistant species. The problem with this is that the old tree needs to be removed which in itself is no mean feat as many of these trees are a century and a half old and are a good 100 feet high! And the entire tree, roots and all needs to be removed before a new tree can be planted. One lock keeper said that it costs about 1000€ to replace one tree and if this is true the cost of doing so along the entire 400 km length of the Canal du Midi equates to one massive and hugely expensive project. I estimated that there are about 400 trees per one km so as you can see this could be a serious problem.
One wonders how the government will be able to justify such a huge expense when the canal is no longer used by commercial traffic. We paid just 66€ for a months stay in the canal which is nothing at all. It's not the dues from the pleasure boats that will raise the money to replace the trees.
Just one of the many narrow and low bridges on the Canal du Midi. Maximum air draft is 3 metres.
In an effort to reduce the cost of running the Canal du Midi many of the locks have been automated whereas before, every lock had a resident eclusier. The VNF (Voies Navigables de France) who run the Canal du Midi and the other canals in France have also managed to delegate much of the maintenance of the canal banks to another department who have created a fabulous cycle lane that runs the entire length of the canal and I'm delighted to say that not one day went by when we did not see a number of cyclists using the pathways.
According to many sources the Canal du Midi attracts 10,000 boats and two million visitors annually. I don't know where they get those figures from but I would be amazed if there were that many boats in or using the Canal du Midi. The Canal du Midi is a UNESCO site but will this be enough to save the canal? An estimated 210 million € is needed to replace the trees.
Chugging across one of the many aquaducts on the canal This one carries the canal over a river.
Anyway, enough of the sad news. It is my hope and belief that the Canal du Midi is too important and too beautiful for it to ever fall into disrepair. One way or another the trees will be replaced and it will go on for another 350 years at least. Let's talk about the nice things.
If you love birds you will love the Canal du Midi. Because you are chugging quietly along you do not disturb the birds who nest in the trees. A sharp eye, a good pair of binoculars and a bird book are all that needed. In the two weeks we were in the canal we saw over 10% of all the bird species in France. That's over 50 species!
The mad and slightly hectic 7 lock 'staircase' at Bezier. This section is the busiest of the entire canal. Note the two 'bumper boats' on the right.
There are a lot of birds of prey in the canals and we once saw a buzzard swoop down to the surface of the water and grab a fish. Another time we saw a parent feeding a chick in the nest, and another we saw a buzzard fly down to the water's edge and take a drink. We saw herons (grey, night and purple) we even got to see a Roller fly into its nest hole in a tree. One morning we were woken by the wonderful call of a Golden Oriole.
Leaving the tunnel at Malpas. This tunnel was dug entirely by trained badgers.
Asides from the stunning bird life there are also all sorts of other creatures such as dragon and damsel flies, fish in the canal, frogs, water snakes and butterflies.
If nature's not your thing then there are no end of fabulous and historic sites to see since the canal runs through some spectacular towns along the way, each with its own regional speciality. We stopped in Carcassonne where we had a genuine cassoulet. Where ever possible we always like to sample the local fare.
A strange metal sculpture with a head made from a camping gaz bottle for sale at one of the locks.
So you fancy having a go? What kind of boat is best? Well, you can do the trip in a yacht with the mast down but if you draw more than 4 feet or 1.2 metres you may have a few problems. They say that a boat drawing 150 cm can make the trip but we draw 120 cm and we had some moments that were touch and go. At the entrance to the Canal du Midi at the Etang de Thau we were skimming the bottom. We could feel the boat rise up and slow down. A load of throttle saw us get by but I don't think a boat drawing more than us would have managed. There is no shortage of water in the canal, at least there was not this year (2012) as there had been a lot of rain. All the sections of the canal were as full as they could have been but despite that the waters were shallow. I guess that the canal needs regular dredging now that the peniche no longer pass through.
The amazing fortified Cité of Carcassonne.

Let me denote $X_n$ the set of transpositions in $n$ elements. Equivalently, $X_n$ is the set of doubletons in $[1,n]\times[1,n]$. The cardinality of $X_n$ is $N=\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$.
If $f:{\mathbb Z}/N{\mathbb Z}\rightarrow X_n$ is a bijection, let us denote $$r(f):=\min\{|\ell-m|;\ell\ne m\quad\hbox{and}\quad f(\ell)\cap f(m)\ne\emptyset\}.$$ Finally, let us define $$R_n:=\max\{r(f);\hbox{bijections}\quad f:{\mathbb Z}/N{\mathbb Z}\rightarrow X_n\}.$$
What is the asymptotics of $R_n$ as $n\rightarrow+\infty$. Is it $R_n\sim cn$ for some $c\in(0,\frac12)$? Or do we have $R_n=o(n)$?
My motivation comes from a numerical algorithm due to Jacobi for the calculation of the spectrum of Hermitian matrices. Each step operates on a pair of rows/columns, with the effect of settong the entry $a_{ij}$ to zero. Once one has act on a row, it seems better to avoid coming back to it too soon. On an other hand, one needs to visit every pairs $(i,j)$ every $N$ steps.

Close to $n/2$ is possible. I'll do odd $n$ and leave even $n$ for someone else's pleasure.
Let $m=(n-1)/2$. For $i=0,\ldots,n-1$ and $j=1,\ldots,m$, let $M(i,j)$ be the pair $\{i-j,i+j\}$ (all values taken mod $n$, of course). The solution is $$ M(0,1).\ldots,M(0,m),M(1,1),\ldots,M(1,m),\ldots,M(n-1,1),\ldots,M(n-1,m).$$
Graph theorists will note that this is a standard 1-factorization of $K_n$ listed one factor at a time.
$M(i,j_1)$ and $M(i,j_2)$ are disjoint for $j_1\ne j_2$, so the only chance of two overlapping pairs being closer than $m$ positions is two pairs of the form $M(i,j_1)$ and $M(i+1,j_2)$. A little thought shows that $M(i,j)$ overlaps $M(i+1,j-1)$ and $M(i+1,j+1)$ and no other pairs $M(i+1,j')$. Thus the minimum separation is $m-1=(n-3)/2$.
There are $n-1$ pairs $\{0,j\}$, so two of them must be at most distance $\lfloor N/(n-1)\rfloor = (n-1)/2$, still assuming $n$ is odd. This shows that the solution above is at most 1 worse than the optimum.
EDIT: For even $n$, $(n-2)/2$ is achievable and is optimal. The remaining loose end is whether $(n-1)/2$ is possible for odd $n$.

That's very neat. I tried for something like that but couldn't do better than $n/4$. – Noam D. Elkies Sep 6 '11 at 4:25
Thanks. In the case of $n$ odd and separation $m=(n−1)/2$, any $m$ pairs in a row must be a matching, and any $2m$ in a row must be a hamiltonian path. I didn't find such a solution for $n=5$ but I didn't yet try systematically. – Brendan McKay Sep 6 '11 at 5:22
Unless my program has a bug (for the first time ever ;), there are no solutions for $n$ odd and separation $m=(n−1)/2$ with $5\le n\le 23$. So I conjecture that $(n-3)/2$ is optimal. – Brendan McKay Sep 6 '11 at 9:40
And of course, $n$ odd implies that the map $(i,j)\mapsto(i-j,i+j)$ is a bijection. – Denis Serre Sep 6 '11 at 12:50
$R_n \geq n/16$ can be obtained by starting from an arbitrary $f$ and then switching pairs of transpositions to get rid of any overlapping pairs whose images are too close to each other.
Suppose $r(f) < k$, and suppose $f(l)$ overlaps some $f(m)$ with $0 < |l-m| < k$. We want to find some $l'\in{\bf Z}/N{\bf Z}$ such that:
$f(l')$ does not overlap $f(m)$ for any $m \neq l$ with $|l-m| < k$, and
$f(l)$ does not overlap $f(m')$ for any $m' \neq l'$ with $|l'-m'| < k$.
Now any transposition overlaps with $2n-4$ others. Thus each of our two conditions excludes at most $(2n-4) (2k-2)$ choices of $l'$. We must also exclude the $2n-4$ choices of $l'$ such that $f(l')$ itself overlaps with $f(l)$. As long as $N-1 > (2n-4)(4k-3)$, we can find such $l'$. Since $N = (n^2-n)/2$, this condition is satisfied as long as $k < n/16 - O(1)$; indeed since $N-1 = (n-2)(n+1)/2$ our condition simplifies to $k \leq (n+13)/16$. So if $k \leq (n+13)/16$ we can switch two transpositions so as to increase by at least $1$ the number of transpositions without an offending overlap. Doing this at most $N$ times yields a bijection $f: {\bf Z}/N{\bf Z} \rightarrow X_n$ with $r(f) \geq k$, as claimed.

text: Physician disclosure of medical errors to institutions, patients and colleagues is important for patient safety, patient care and professional education, yet numerous factors pose impediments to disclosure. The authors of this article saw a need to define and organize the various influences on error disclosure in order to enhance interventions and to aid in the interpretation of the results of interventions. They reviewed 316 articles dealing with the physician experience of error reporting and identified 91 factors. Twenty-seven further factors were derived from exploratory focus group transcripts. Then quantitative analysis was used to organize the factors and confirmatory focus groups, and expert review validated the results. This sequence of methodologies helped the authors to develop a taxonomy of factors impeding disclosure (attitudinal barriers, uncertainties, helplessness, fears and anxieties) and facilitating factors (responsibility to patient, responsibility to self, responsibility to profession, responsibility to community). The taxonomy can serve to guide the design of error-reporting systems and to inform educational interventions to promote the disclosure of errors to patients. Future research will need to ascertain whether educational and institutional interventions actually reduce the influence of impeding factors or enhance the influence of facilitating factors.

REFLECTIVE LATTICE STRIPS
Reflective strips can be divided into the reflective webbing, reflective lattice strips, reflective fabrics, which are widely used in reflective vests, reflective overalls, labor insurance garments, bags, shoes, umbrellas, raincoats, etc.
Reflective crystal lattice also known as reflective lattice strip is processed by reflective lattice sheet indentation. It has various specifications, stripes, and colors. When the light is directed to the reflective lattice strip, it will produce good reflection effect and improve nighttime visibility which can play a good warning role.
Reflective crystal lattice strips are mainly used as clothing accessories or jewelry materials and are widely used in traffic management, fire protection, sanitation, urban management, road rescue, road maintenance, etc., which are required to engage in field activities and nighttime workers' protective equipment. Apply to professional clothing, casual wear, sportswear, fashion, hats, gloves, backpacks, etc., can also produce all kinds of reflective products, jewelry.
Pressing pattern: W shape, diamond shape, etc.
Width: Conventional is 2.5cm, 5cm. Can be customized according to customer requirements, printing logo.
Regular color: fluorescent white, fluorescent yellow, orange, red or other colors required by the guest.
Features: Cold resistance: minus -30 degrees, extremely cold-resistant, no cracking at very low temperatures, maintaining flexibility
1. The reflective crystal lattice is mainly divided into two kinds of crystal lattices. One is a lattice belt.
Reflective crystal lattice (also known as the reflective sheet, mainly made of PVC plastic dissolved by special machine cooling, the reflective sheet and also
There are many different patterns of trademarks that can be made by the high-frequency mechanism. There are 24 common colors for reflective PVC tapes.
Reflective lattice strip (also known as lattice strip, mainly made of reflective sheet and PVC glass composite with the high-frequency machine)
2. The hardness of the reflective sheet is also normal:
Soft reflective sheets, also known as the cold resistant reflective sheet, are used in winter and cold regions, such as Russia, the Arctic, the Antarctic, and the winter in northern China.
Normal temperature, which is the current weather, is also commonly used, not soft or hard, suitable for Southeast Asia, summer springs in other places
Hard reflective sheets, also known as heat-resistant sheets, are used in some areas in summer.
So when the order is coming, we always asked what season they use.
3. The reflective lattice belt is mainly used in:
Clothing: police, traffic police, security, sanitation, petrol stations, miners, docks, and other work uniforms, etc.
Luggage: trolley case, shoulder bag, backpack, (now schoolbags for primary and secondary school students) and tool bags, tools Package, etc.
Shoes and hats: casual shoes, sports shoes, casual hats, work hats, hats worn by sanitation municipal personnel, etc.
Other: accessories, pet clothes, etc.

Odds Slang for Probability?
Date: 02/06/97 at 15:44:00 From: Anonymous Subject: Odds and probability What is the difference between odds and probability? Or is odds a slang term for probability?
Date: 02/06/97 at 21:41:26 From: Doctor Wallace Subject: Re: Odds and probability No, odds is not slang for probability. There is a difference. A probability is a number from 0 to 1 inclusive, usually expressed as a fraction, which is the ratio of the number of chances of a specific event to the total number of chances possible. For example, if I have 4 marbles in a jar, 3 red and 1 blue, then the probability of drawing the blue is 1/4. There is one chance of a blue marble and 4 total chances (marbles). Odds are expressed as the number of chances for (or against) versus the number of chances against (or for). So, since there is 1 chance of your picking the blue, and 3 chances of your picking red, the odds are 3 to 1 AGAINST you picking the blue. For odds in favor, we just reverse them. The odds are 1 to 3 IN FAVOR OF you picking the blue. This can be a little confusing, so I'll say it again. If you express odds as AGAINST, you put the number of chances against first, versus the number of chances for. If you express odds as IN FAVOR OF, you put the chances for the event happening first. Note that this does NOT mean that the probability is 1/3 for or against in the above example. To convert odds to probability, we have to ADD the chances. So, if the odds against a horse winning are 4 to 1, this means that, out of 5 (4 + 1) chances, the horse has 1 chance of winning. So the PROBABILITY of the horse winning is 1/5 or 20 percent. I hope this helps. If you need more assistance, don't hesitate to write back! -Doctor Wallace, The Math Forum Check out our web site! _URL_

 TITLE: Spanish literature: The Romantic movement
 SECTION: The Romantic movement
 One major Romantic theme concerned liberty and individual freedom. The late Romantic poet Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, in Rimas (published posthumously in 1871; "Rhymes"), expressed his own tortured emotions, suffering, and solitude but also celebrated love, poetry, and intimacy while experimenting with free verse. Rimas influenced more 20th-century...

ACCRC for running his Lincoln on aluminum soda cans.
They threw this rig together quickly to test the concept.
The concept works.
Here's how it works.
Soda cans are dumped into a tank of Lye (sodium hydroxide and water).
The sodium hydroxide peels off the aluminum oxide surface from the aluminum allowing water to come into contact with aluminum metal. The aluminum immediately oxidizes, ripping the water's oxygen atoms away to make aluminum oxide. That releases the hydrogen which bubbles out to be burned in the Lincoln's engine.
Here's the reaction: H2O + Al -> AlO2 + H2 + heat
Step 1: Lye tank and water bubbler
His left hand is on the hydrogen vent hose. The gas that bubbles out of it is hot and steamy and has a fair amount of powdery white aluminum oxide in it. So next it goes into a pipe to the bottom of the white bubbler tank, where it bubbles through water. That makes it cool and clean.
Just like in a hookah or bong.

to yellow as it ages, which indicates plainly on light-colored woods.
acrylic-altered veneer is produced from a mixture of a nonyellowing cellulose pitch (called cellulose acetic acid derivation butyrate, or cab) and acrylic. this veneer has the same general properties of nitrocellulose finish, with the exception of it is completely water-white, significance it won't demonstrate as a golden color when connected over light-hued woods. additionally, the completion won't turn yellow about whether.
catalyzed veneer crosses over any barrier between the requisition attributes of nitrocellulose enamel and the toughness of varnish. catalyzed veneer is a complex completion made out of urea formaldehyde or urea melamine and an alkyd that has some nitrocellulose gum added to make it handle like ordinary finish. the expansion of a corrosive impetus launchs a substance response that structures an exceptionally intense, solid completion. catalyzed finish comes in two forms: precatalyzed and post-catalyzed. precatalyzed veneer has the segments premixed, either by the producer or at the store when you purchase it; post-catalyzed finish is a two-part framework that you must blend in your shop, emulating exact proportions. once the impetus has been included, these polishes have a reasonably short pot life (the time in which they might be utilized).
water based finishes - water-based completion holds a portion of the same fixings as varnish and veneer - eminently urethane, alkyd and acrylic - yet numerous combustible and contaminating parts have been supplanted with water. the science in this item is unpredictable. since the saps don't have a common partiality for water, they must be artificially changed or compelled to consolidate with water.
water-based completion is normally made with either an acrylic tar (sold as water-based veneer) or an acrylic urethane mixture (sold as water-based polyurethane). similarly, as with varnish, the expansion of the urethane makes the gum harder and more scratch safe, yet water-based urethane does not have the same dissolvable and high temperature safety as its oil-based partner.
your level of experience, nature in which you work and whether you're set up to shower all have impact in choosing which complete to utilize. the temperature and soddenness of your shop, and in addition the measure of sanding clean buzzing around, will influence your decision. dust falling onto a completion does not act like incredible an issue with veneer or shellac as it might with a moderate drying complete, for example, varnish. shellac and enamel are likewise the slightest touchy in the matter of cool temperatures, and they could be adjusted with retarder added substances for hot and damp conditions. oils and oil-based items dry gradually in chilly temperatures and sticky conditions, and dust is dependably an issue when it has sufficient energy to get installed in the dried film.
shower supplies obliges a bigger plan and, much of the time, exorbitant gear to fumes the overspray. there's additionally a taking in bend with splashing, so it will probably take some practice before you get better than average effects.
your level of experience, nature's turf in which you work and whether you're set up to splash all have impact in choosing which complete to utilize. the temperature and sogginess of your shop, and in addition the measure of sanding clean buzzing around, will influence your decision. dust falling onto a completion does not act like extraordinary an issue with polish or shellac as it might with a moderate drying complete, for example, varnish. shellac and finish are additionally the minimum touchy in terms of chilly temperatures, and they could be adjusted with retarder added substances for hot and moist conditions. oils and oil-based items dry gradually in cool temperatures and damp conditions, and dust is dependably an issue when it has room schedule-wise to get inserted in the dried film.

do you need a characteristic "in-the-wood" complete? then again does your work request an exquisite, profound, glass-smooth completion? is the shade of the completion an issue, or will yellowing of the completion be an issue in the future?
customarily, carpenters have turned to oil, wax or oil and varnish mixes, (for example, watco) for a regular looking completion. none of these simple to-apply completes dries to structure a hard surface film. in any case, you can get a regular looking impact with any completion - including varnish, shellac and polish - as long as you don't advance it more than a couple of covers and you rub out the dried film with steel fleece. yet in the event that your objective is a filled-pore, profound, radiant completion, you must utilize a hard, film-structuring completion (varnish, shellac or veneer). this kind of completion is additionally compulsory when you need to perform complex coloring choices like toning and coating.
the color and the infiltration of the completion itself may be an issue. orange shellac and phenolic-pitch varnish both have shades that may be excessively dim for woods that you may need to keep as light as could be expected under the circumstances. furthermore, numerous completions extend or obscure the wood surface. as a rule this is alluring, in light of the fact that it includes profundity and expansions radiance. in any case, you may need to downplay any developing impact. some carefully figured woods, (for example, pearwood) will seem sloppy when an oil completion is connected.
oil and oil-based varnish, dissolvable based enamel and shellac all extend the color of the wood and expansion surface radiance the most. these completions wet the cells of the wood, entering into the surface. other film completes - outstandingly water-based completions and some catalyzed veneers - have a tendency to lie on the surface. by not infiltrating it as much, they make the wood seem lighter in shade.
the plastic look that is some of the time attributed to polyurethane and catalyzed finishes has more to do with the wrong provision of these completions than it does with the completions themselves. on open-pored woods (plainsawn slag or oak, for instance) the provision of thick varnish and finish can bring about a soupy look on the surface. this is a result of the completion film spanning over the open pores instead of streaming into them. By diminishing these completions you can accomplish more alluring outcomes. my most loved technique to apply oil-based polyurethane is to thin the completion half with mineral spirits and wipe it on.
a completion film that turns yellow with age will be perceptible with unstained, light-hued woods, for example, maple or birch. an acrylic completion, wateror dissolvable based, does not have this issue. glue wax and some catalyzed completes additionally won't yellow.
a dissolvable based completion, for example, varnish and veneer, holds a great arrangement of natural solvents, which can influence nature's domain and additionally your health. it's likewise profoundly combustible. assuming that these particulars represent an issue for you, utilize a water-based completion to wipe out the blaze danger and to alleviate the ecological and health sway. immaculate oil is a shockingly great elective to a dissolvable based finish or varnish: pure oil holds no solvents and originates from renewable assets. Notwithstanding, oil-splashed clothes must be discarded deliberately. shellac is additionally a great elective. the dissolvable for shellac, denatured liquor, is refined from corn, and most individuals don't discover the brief smell offensive.
all completions are nontoxic when completely cured, regardless of what you may have perused or listened. once the solvents have dissipated, any cured film is ok for contact with sustenance. this does not imply that the completion itself is sheltered to chow down on. it implies essentially that added substances, for example, substantial metal driers and plasticizers are epitomized fine that they don't relocate into your nourishment. wax and shellac (fruits and confection are covered with these) are the main eatable completes that I'm mindful of, moreover mineral oil, which is sold as a purgative.
showering squanders an extraordinary arrangement of the completion material, and the natural solvents are scattered into the air. brushing or wiping on a completion is a viable, however less expedient, elective.

The Universe has universal rules which have been shared with humanity through religions and must be followed to end the recycling of souls. It is the job of all of humanity to get out of the recycle process by following the rules set up by the Universe.
These rules exist only for the souls in human bodies. Souls at the recycling centre, souls trapped in lower life forms and souls in transition are not covered under the universal laws.
Following the universal rules while in the human body will help release the soul from the recycling process and allow souls to choose how they want to live.
The guardian of humanity does not have any control over these rules. They were created by the Universe and must be followed by humanity. Only the laws that are common to all religions can be considered universal laws because they have been proven to provide souls with the leverage to remove themselves from the recycling process.
Example of Universal Rules
- Do not worship entities or earth based objects/persons or ideas.
- Be careful with the power in your words.
- Incorporate a day and daily times for reflection and meditation.
- Respect your soul family.
- Avoid killing life forms with souls.
- Do not Take or have the intent to take from others.
- Do not cheat in any committed relationship.
- Country citizenship
- Do not lie with intent.
- Do not wish for what others have.

Fuel poverty is type of financial hardship in which households struggle to afford to heat their homes to comfortable, safe temperatures. Fuel poverty results from one or several factors – low income, high fuel costs, and energy inefficient homes. Fuel poor households worry about their energy bills, rack up debts to their suppliers, turn down thermostats and cope with cold living conditions.
Cold rooms aren't just uncomfortable: they can exacerbate health problems and contribute to premature deaths. The government runs several social schemes to alleviate fuel poverty, including winter fuel payments and the warm home discount scheme.
To understand fuel poverty, and how these schemes can help if you're experiencing it, read on:
Compare energy suppliers and save money in five minutes!
In the past, a household was legally considered to be fuel poor if it had to spend more than 10% of its income on fuel to heat living spaces to an 'adequate standard.' An adequate standard is defined as 21°C in the main living room and 18°C in other inhabited rooms, including bedrooms.
This is still the definition that applies in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
However, since 2013, England has used a different definition of fuel poverty—the so-called 'low income, high cost' model.
Under this definition, a household is categorised as fuel poor if it meets both of the following conditions:
This definition has been criticised because it is a relative measure of fuel poverty and may underestimate the true extent. For example, it has failed to account for rising fuel costs and falling incomes over the last decade, which have driven up rates of fuel poverty in the devolved nations. In contrast, under the new definition, rates of official fuel poverty have remained flat in England.
In 2016, the last year for which full data is available, 11.1% of households – 2.55 million – in England were fuel poor. That's an increase from the 11% that experienced fuel poverty in 2015.
In Scotland, which uses the older definition of fuel poverty, 649,000 households (26.5% of the total) were categorised as fuel poor in 2016.
In Wales, there were 291,000 households – 23% of all households – in fuel poverty. In Northern Ireland, 160,000 experienced fuel poverty, 22% of the total.
According to data from the fuel poverty charity National Energy Action (NEA), 82.1% of households in fuel poverty are considered vulnerable, meaning they have children, elderly members, or someone with a long-term illness or disability. Among household types, single parent families have the highest prevalence of fuel poverty, at 26.4%.
Fuel poverty is more common in rural areas than in urban areas. 14% of populations in rural villages, hamlets, and isolated dwellings are in fuel poverty, due to a combination of inefficient homes and the use of more expensive heating, including electricity.
Additionally, people from ethnic minority backgrounds were more likely to experience fuel poverty than white households, with 17% in fuel poverty compared to 10%.
Fuel poverty is also more prevalent among those who rent in the private rented sector, with 19.4% of rented households experiencing fuel poverty. They make up more than a third (35.4%) of all households in fuel poverty. In contrast, 13.8% of social tenants and 7.7% of owner-occupiers are fuel poor.
Both definitions of fuel poverty allow the government and charities to assess not just the prevalence of fuel poverty but also its depth – the difference between a household's average gas and electric bill and what it would have to be for the household to no longer be classified as fuel poor. This figure is known as the household's fuel poverty gap.
In 2016, the average fuel poverty gap in England was £326 a year. This decreased 4.4% in real terms from 2015. The cumulative fuel poverty gap in England was £832 million.
However, rising energy costs led the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to forecast that the average fuel poverty gap would increase by 9% between 2016 and 2018, to £357.
The fuel poverty gap for those in rural areas was found to be double that in urban areas, at nearly £600 a year.
Fuel poverty is caused by one, or several compounding factors:
Cold temperatures can be hazardous for our health and even fatal, especially among the old, the very young, and those in poor health. Cold interior temperatures increase the likelihood, and severity, of colds and influenza, and exacerbate existing health conditions like asthma and other respiratory issues. Cold rooms also have a detrimental impact on mental health. Overall, fuel poverty is estimated to cost the National Health Service £3.6 million every day.
The UK experiences an average of 32,000 excess deaths each year in the winter. Of those, a tenth can directly be attributed to fuel poverty, according to the End Fuel Poverty Coalition.
The government runs a number of schemes to alleviate fuel poverty, delivering both immediate relief on energy bills for vulnerable populations and long-term savings by increasing the energy efficiency of homes. These include:

Minimum Number of Distinct Eigenvalues of Graphs
Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra
Symmetric matrix, Eigenvalue, Join of graphs, Diameter, Trees, Bipartite graph, Maximum multiplicity
The minimum number of distinct eigenvalues, taken over all real symmetric matrices compatible with a given graph G, is denoted by q(G). Using other parameters related to G, bounds for q(G) are proven and then applied to deduce further properties of q(G). It is shown that there is a great number of graphs G for which q(G)=2. For some families of graphs, such as the join of a graph with itself, complete bipartite graphs, and cycles, this minimum value is obtained. Moreover, examples of graphs Gare provided to show that adding and deleting edges or vertices can dramatically change the value ofq(G). Finally, the set of graphs Gwith q(G) near the number of vertices is shown to be a subset of known families of graphs with small maximum multiplicity

"Googol" is a number represented by a 1 followed by one hundred zeros, or 10 to the 100th power. The intentionally misspelled name was intended to convey the wealth of information that the search engine is able to access.

/ BWEH-noh (good, nice)
Forms of "bueno"
Bueno is an adjective, so it is used to describe a noun. Spanish adjectives
must agree with the gender and number of the noun they describe, so bueno
can take various forms.
Often you will use bueno and its related forms after es and
son to talk about how things really are.
El libro es bueno. - The book is good.
La clase es buena. - The class is good.
Los teléfonos son buenos. - The telephones are good.
Las computadoras son buenas. - The computers are good.
You can also use bueno and its forms after
está and están to talk about how things look, taste, or seem to you.
Los tacos están buenos. - The tacos taste good.
La niña está buena. - The girl is good looking.
El trabajo está bueno. - The job is seeming good to me.
More uses of "bueno"
Unlike English, Spanish descriptive adjectives usually follow the noun they

Similarly, you can use bueno and its related forms after a noun. For example:
Tengo una clase buena. - I have one class good = I have one good class.
Es un niño bueno. - He's a boy nice = He's a nice boy.

Buenas noches - Good night
Que pase un buen día - Have a nice day
¡Buen viaje! - Have a nice trip (Bon voyage)
Buena suerte – Good luck!
Buen trabajo – Good job
Buen provecho – Enjoy your meal (Bon appetit)
NOTE: When bueno comes before a masculine singular noun such as
día (day), viaje / bee-AH-hay (trip), or trabajo (job), you drop the final –O.
Remember, don't confuse buen (short form of the adjective bueno, which means
good) with bien (adverb meaning "well"). Bueno can sometimes translate
into English as "well," but bien does NOT translate into English as "good."
English speakers often confuse "good" and "well" anyway, so this can be a
More expressions with "bueno"
In Mexico, ¿Bueno? is said as a question to answer the phone. (Most
Latin American countries use ¿Aló? to answer the phone.)
Bueno is often used as a filler or pause word:
Bueno, pues... está
bien. - Well, then...okay.
Sometimes Spanish speakers will use bueno to mean "all right," or "okay,"
when they are in agreement with something.
¿Quiere ir al cine? - Do You* want to go to the movies?
Bueno. - All right.

Sometimes speakers will use buena idea / BWEH-nah ee-THEY-ah (or just
buena) to show that they like an idea.
¡Vamos a la playa! - Let's go to the beach!
¡Buena! - Good idea!
You can also use bueno to exclaim that something is good:
¡Qué bueno! - How nice! Great!
The opposite of bueno (good) is malo / MAH-loh (bad). Related forms are
mala, malos, malas, and the masculine short form mal.
(NOTE: There is also an adverb
mal, which means "badly" and a noun mal which means "evil" or
"Very good" is muy bueno.
The word mejor / may-HOHRR means "better" or
The word buenísimo / bweh-NEE-see-moh
(and related forms) means "super good."
A couple of common expressions are:
1) hacer algo
de buena gana / theh BWEH-nah GAH-nah
Literal translation: to do something of good desire
English equivalent: to do something willingly
estar de buen humor /
theh bwehn oo-MOHRR
Literal translation: to be of good humor
English equivalent: to be in a good mood
The word bueno / BWEH-noh is related to a number of Latin-based English
words which start with bon-.

Tarsal gland- A gland located on the inside of the deer's hind leg. This gland consists of a patch of elongated hairs underlain by an area of large sebaceous glands. The sebaceous glands secrete a fatty lipid that adheres to the hairs of the tarsal gland. This area gives off a strong, musky odor. This odor is the result of urine being deposited on these glands and mixed with lipids during a behavior known as rub-urination. Deer use this gland to recognize other individuals in the herd and to give information relative to their sex, social status, and reproductive condition.

I've not found a clear answer to my question below. Everything I found on the internet was too fuzzy and vague, so I hope this is not a duplicate.
In which way does the word "quite" in front of an adjective strengthen or weaken the corresponding adjective?
Some examples:
Consider: "I'm quite good at school."
Does this mean I am very good at school, or like "good, but also not one of the best students" or even only considerably good?
The same for this: "I can run quite fast."
I've read, that this means that I can run not very fast, and I've also read that it means that I can run "very very fast, but not like Usain Bolt".
If you've checked the dictionary you'll have seen that there are 2, somewhat contradictory definitions for "quite":
 1. to the utmost or most absolute extent or degree; absolutely; completely.
 2. to a certain or fairly significant extent or degree; fairly.
In short, "quite" can mean "very" or "not so much"!
In spoken English, we tend to put emphasis on the word when we are minimising something, and perhaps draw it out with a negative inflexion, for example:
-was the town busy?
-it was quite busy. (meaning it wasn't very busy)
Also, as a very general rule, we wouldn't use it to mean the highest degree unless we were using it with a strong word such as "excellent", "marvellous" or "terrible". With more moderate words like "good" or "bad", it tends to be added to understate. For example, "I can run quite fast" would probably mean reasonably fast; wheras "I can run quite rapidly!" sounds far more positive, and would likely be taken to mean very fast.
In modern type-written English we use italics, bold, underlining, "quote marks" etc to tweak the inferred meanings of words - "just that little bit of fine tuning".
In spoken English, we use volume, inflection - and modifier words - when we wish to tweak a word's meaning, ever so slightly.
Fairly, rather, quite and pretty are all degree modifiers. They are used to express the degree to which a certain quality is present. Fairly does not show a high degree of something, rather and quite do.
So quite emphasizes the word busy - not busy enough to be very busy, as Astralbee noted in that excellent answer, but more than just busy.
