Greetings from Ethiopia, a country which is four times larger than the UK and one of only two in Africa that has never been colonised. It also served as one of the earliest gateways for the gospel into Africa (Acts 8:26ff). Today, Sunday May 1, they celebrate Easter Day! Here in the capital Addis Ababa, Gareth is speaking to pastors, leaders and fellowships of the Evangelical Brethren Church while Malou is teaching a group of enthusiastic ladies some needlecraft skills. Many thanks to the dozens who responded to our account last month of the laptop robbery in India. Your words were very much appreciated. The AMEN 20th anniversary celebrations and meal were attended by a good number. It was particularly encouraging that some partners had been able to fly from India, the Philippines and Romania to take part. Many others also took part via videos that were shown. On a less positive note, we have just heard that one of our major AMEN donors is having to terminate his support following the collapse of BHS, a British retail company which owes him a large amount of money.
Thank you for your prayers for us, AMEN and the ministry – they are indispensable!
The day after we arrive, hundreds attend the Sunday morning meeting in Ginci, outside Addis Ababa.

Impact of the French Revolution essay
Free Essays, Impact, Revolution
The great French Revolution occurred in Europe from 1789-1799. It is referred to as the "great Revolution" because there are other French Revolutions which occurred in Europe. It commenced after the States general had met in May. King Louis the 16th and his family were forced to go to Paris. The King made many attempts to go to Varennes but he did not succeed. He faced a trial which led to his execution in 1793. (Guizot, 1896). This was a period of disturbance and turmoil in France and Europe as a whole. Terror reigned in the whole land with leaders ruling with tyranny and domination.
The Revolution resulted in to other events like Napoleonic wars and two more Revolutions. The Revolution brought so much disorder in Europe and civil wars were further encouraged by the Parisian mob. The French government had to change drastically from its status of absolute monarchy to a structure founded on Enlightenment principles. Dictatorship was the form of governance at this time. The ancient regimes' old aristocratic order formed an alliance with the rich, oppressed peasants and people who depended on wages to make a living.
This is thought to have been the cause of the Revolution. There are also other historians who assert that the Revolution was caused when the ancient regime of the old aristocratic order came in to logger heads with the poor, and the low-wage earners in the society. However, one thing is quite clear. The ancient regime of the old aristocratic order was responsible for the French Revolution. The changes that the Revolution brought upon Europe include: Social, economical, cultural, political and liberal changes.
The other Revolutions which took place in Europe, between 1830 and 1871, were spearheaded by the same goals as those of the great Revolution. There was the desire by the people for the standards of living to improve and also many people wanted to acquire citizenship. (Samuel, 1913) Impact of the French Revolution The French Revolution had various impacts on France and the whole of Europe. It had a very important effect on the intellectual and the political life of Europe. There were economic impacts which were experienced due to the Revolution.

Influence of French revolution essay
France suffered huge bad debts which were quite unmanageable. This forced the country to go in to a level where it could not meet the needs of its citizens. This was very unfair to the citizens as their standards of living had to go really down. The psychological and social burdens of wars which had occurred in the 18th century had been borne stoically by the citizens. However, the Revolution seemed to make the burdens heavier for the citizens to bear. There was also a system of taxation which was not favorable to the country due to the Revolution.
The taxes were considerably very high for the country to do well in any commercial dealings. The Revolution was made worse by the absence of support of the monarchy rule to the veterans of war. This resulted in to a huge national debt. The poor people in the country did not have enough resources to put food on the table. Worse still, they could not afford a balanced meal. This made many of them suffer from malnutrition. At the time, most land in the country was owned by the Roman Catholic Church. The church did not support the people in their plight. Instead it levied a high tax on crops.
This did not work in the best interest of the people who continued to suffer due to lack of food. The Revolution had a great influence on the development of Europe economically. (Tyler, 1825). The Revolution was accepted by some English radicals like, William Godwin and Thomas Paine who regarded it as a vehicle through which humanity could regain its perfection and be restored in to glory. Politically, Europe had to undergo great changes due to the Revolution. The idea of political legitimacy being linked to domestic social structures was also supported by the Revolution.
It believed that this was what was responsible for determining the way a state will be structured politically. The Revolution brought a difference in the amount of resources that Europe was allowed to channel in the International market. Thus the international competition was also put in check. This totally changed the way Europe related with the international society. The Revolution actually brought reactions in the governments throughout Europe in the field of intelligence gathering. Hence, the political order of the governments of countries throughout Europe had to be restructured.
The Revolution was able to overturn the monarchy rule and it constituted a constitution republic. Although, this was only made possible, through chaos. The world considers the Revolution as a model for change and inspiration. (Guizot, 1896). Foreign wars in Europe resulted due to the Revolution. This is because the France citizens and people all over Europe did not understand the importance of the Revolution. They were unclear on the fact that it was a fight for change of the poor living styles many people were exposed to.
The first Republic that came up as a result of Revolution did not last for long as it was eventually overthrown in 1799 by Napoleon. This was not done peacefully, as it was characterized by the guillotine, angry Paris crowd and many disturbances. (Samuel, 1913) Conclusion In conclusion, the French Revolution was thought to be a symbol of change and a war through which the living standards of many people would be improved. However, quite a large segment of Europe's population suffered as a result of the Revolution. Alexander Tyler had mixed feelings about the Revolution.
Due to this, he decided to write a book viewing out his opinions of the same. (Tyler, 1825). The French Revolution can be compared to the American Revolution as both resulted in to a constitution set up of the government. Similarly, both of the Revolutions came up for the same cause. That is, to improve the living standards of citizens in both of the regions.

Home News Chris McGovern: Greening the dunce needs learning support
Chris McGovern: Greening the dunce needs learning support
By Chris McGovern
It should be a truth universally acknowledged that if there is a way to degrade our education system, the Department for Education and its offshoots will find it. Sub-standard comprehensive schooling backed up by the all-ability GCSE examination was an impressive start to the process. It was followed by the introduction of a 'knowledge-lite' National Curriculum. The logic of producing the curriculum after launching the exam that tested it was but one reflection of the incompetence and chaos that defines educational decision-making.
A few weeks ago we saw the scandalous manipulation of public examination grades to cover up the failure of candidates to cope with some question papers that were less dumbed down than in previous years. Fifteen per cent is the new gold standard 'good pass' in GCSE maths for one board.
Educationally it may make no sense at all, but in business terms it is a winner. Why should a school pay its candidate fees to an exam board that requires 18 per cent, the cross-board average for a 'good pass', when there is one offering the same result with 15 per cent? To bring in more cash the marketing slogan is simple enough: 'Your pupils will need 20 per cent more marks with other boards. Choose us for the best GCSE pass rate value around!'
The DfE's latest excursion into 'getting it wrong' territory has just been announced. Compulsory SATs for 7-year-olds will be scrapped from 2023 on the erroneous grounds that children are too young to be tested at that age. They will be replaced by baseline assessments for 4- and 5-year-olds on the equally erroneous grounds that testing at that age is meaningful and that the children are not too young.
It takes some doing to get things quite so cockeyed and wrong as this latest 'improvement' measure. Justine Greening, the Education Secretary, clearly needs a great deal of learning support. In the bad old days it would have been the 'naughty step' and the dunce's hat for her.
Off the record, respected university assessment gurus will confess that the most reliable way of assessing a 4- to 5-year-old is to look at the qualifications of the mother! Not that this is especially reliable!
As head teacher of a very heavily over-subscribed selective school, I found the assessment for entry into Year 1 to be the hardest part of my job, and by far the most stressful.
Parents of children who 'failed' our assessments – based as much on 'interview' as on very basic numeracy, literacy and non-verbal reasoning – were often tearful, distraught and sometimes aggressive. The assessment 'performance' of 4- to 5-year-olds can vary from hour to hour, let alone day to day. I shared their concerns and invariably offered re-assessment a year later. Only when it came to assessing 7-year-olds did the process have a sufficient degree of reliability.
Why, then, is Justine Greening doing away with assessments at the 'right' age and replacing them with assessments at the 'wrong' age? She has clearly been persuaded by her officials of the neatness of a 'baseline assessment' system. Bureaucratically, it is, indeed, a beautiful model. Assess at the start of primary school and at the end (SATs) to measure progress from start to finish.
This cunning plan has only one fault: it will not work! Worse, it will totally undermine the credibility of the data about progress across the primary school years. The unreliability of the process for assessing 4- to 5-year olds is well recognised. Since primary schools will be judged on the progress pupils make between Reception (age 4 to 5) and Year 6 (age 10 to 11), the new baseline assessment will become hopelessly unreliable.
Teacher-controlled assessment of Reception pupils, unreliable itself, will become doubly unreliable because many teachers will be inclined to mark harshly to show that the 'little-uns' have made progress by the time they take the externally assessed SATs at the end of Year 6.
At the age of 7, the starting year for schools in Finland, a baseline assessment system would have merit, provided it was not a teacher assessment. The Secretary of State has allowed herself to be persuaded otherwise. What appears to be the more attractive option – baseline assessment at age 4 to 5 – is, in fact, fatally flawed and will have damaging long-term consequences for our education system. Ms Greening is taking the office she holds to depths last plumbed by Labour's Estelle Morris who did, at least, have the self-awareness and decency to resign.

The legendary Megalodon
Portrayed as a terrifying nightmare in film culture, the Megalodon is rumored to haunt our oceans even to this day, the Jaws of the underwater world. As thrilling as this representation is, and as convenient as it is for scary movies, the image of the Megalodon is far from the truth. The Megalodon is an extinct species of shark, that prowled the oceans of the world from the Early Miocene to the Late Pliocene, about 23 to 2.6 million years ago. This 18 m shark was the ultimate predator of its period, until climate change and both exploitative and interference competition drove it to extinction. In this blog, we will look at the major characteristics of this legendary animal that all divers should know about.
Phylogeny and appearance
Megalodons are classified in the Chordata phylum, more precisely in the Chondrichthyes class, like all sharks and cartilaginous fishes. In a phylogenetic perspective, it is closely related to the Great White shark even though it is believed to have looked more like a Basking shark or even a Sand-Tiger shark.
The Megalodon reached a maximum of 18 m in length, though it generally only grew to 10 m. This shark is characterized by a stocky body and a broad, powerful jaw. Its fins resembling those found in modern Great Whites, although were much thicker due to the larger body size of the Megalodon. The most iconic part of the Megalodon anatomy is its teeth. The teeth are made of dentin, a hard calcified tissue that does not easily decompose, which protects the fossils making them the primary source of research on the animal. A single tooth can measure up to 18 cm in length, the largest tooth size of any shark ever recorded. They are broad, triangular and thick. Thanks to these fossils, scientists were able to construct a Megalodon jaw model, and with vertebrae fossils, to determine the general anatomy of the shark. Megalodon jaws can be seen in many aquariums, as they make a very cool photo background.
Due to the cartilaginous skeleton of the shark, specimens are poorly preserved through times, thus there is still a lot of debate about the true appearance of the Megalodon. The fossil teeth helped determine the shape of its skull and its general phylogeny, pointing to the Great White as its closest living relative. The recovery of a few vertebrae allowed for further study, particularly determining its size. Finally, some coprolite remains were recovered, which are essentially fossilized feces. These fossils gave scientists information on the shape of the sharks intestines, indicating that they may have had a spiral valve, a corkscrew-shaped portion of the lower intestines. Therefore, a limited fossil analysis restricts what we know about the Megalodon.
Lifestyle (nutrition, range)
Megalodons were top predators and opportunistic feeders. They fed on cetaceans, seals, and sea turtles to name a few. Unlike Great Whites who attack the soft underside of their prey, Megalodons were able to directly crush through the chest cavity of its prey. The incredible power in the jaw of the Megalodon gave it this significant predatory advantage.
Megalodons used to be found in all oceans of the world. Most fossils were found in the Mediterranean sea, and along the coasts of continents such as North America and Australia. Pups and juvenile sharks were mostly found in warm coastal waters, where there is a wide abundance of food, and good protection from predators. The larger adults prowled the open ocean, as a solitary apex predator.
There were two main factors that played a role in the Megalodons extinction. First of all, Megalodons lived in a very competitive environment, being a top predator. Its food resource was shared with whale-eating cetaceans and other sharks. This competition was both exploitative and interference, meaning the two competitors sometimes fought extensively for the resource. Sharing resources may have therefore led to a decrease in Megalodon numbers. A second major factor was the effect of climate change on the feeding habits of the Megalodons major food sources. As the global weather varied, whales changed their feeding habits to follow plankton abundance, thus moving out of the Megalodons habitat range, by going far north and south where the water is too cold for Megalodons to survive. These two major factors were therefore the two main reasons that the Megalodon went extinct about 2.6 million years ago.
In conclusion, the Megalodon was one of the world's top predators. Its hunting technique used the incredible power of its jaws to catch prey such as whales, turtles and other sharks. The Megalodon is the largest shark to have ever lived. Having gone extinct 2.6 million years ago due to climate change and competition over resources, the Megalodon is still used today as a thriller movie villain. But now you know that this wonderful work of nature is undoubtedly extinct, so there is nothing to fear and the thriller "Jaws" is a lie. That's the Megalodon for you!

Q: Symbol lookup error when installing QGIS after upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 I had QGIS working on Ubuntu 21.10 but when I upgraded to 22.04 something happened and it was no longer there, so I proceeded to install it once again (instructions), but when I run qgis i get:
/usr/bin/qgis.bin: symbol lookup error: /lib/libgdal.so.28: undefined symbol: _ZN6libdap5ErrorD1Ev

I'm not familiar with gdal, so got almost no clue on how to get QGIS working again (I've tried to uninstall it and install it again but it's always the same).
Not sure if it helps but running gdalinfo --version I get:
GDAL 3.4.1, released 2021/12/27

A: I suggest installing miniconda using https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html. Use the instructions to create a new python environment and activate it. Then install QGIS from conda using
conda install -c conda-forge qgis

We've disbursed N100bn to assist businesses since 2017 –FG
The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, said Federal Government has disbursed about N100 billion through the Development Bank of Nigeria since 2017 to facilitate Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to boost job creation.
A statement made available to journalists at the weekend in Abuja, quoted the minister as speaking at the flag off of the disbursement of empowerment items to women in Jos, Plateau State.
Keyamo who was represented by the Director General of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE), Abubakar Fikpo, said; "You will all agree with me that unemployment is one of the remote causes of banditry, terrorism, corruption and other forms of criminality.
"Even though the Federal Government is working hard at checkmating terrorism and all other forms of criminality and violent crimes, it is equally prosecuting the war against mass unemployment. "I am proud that the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) which I am privileged to Chair its Board and also directly supervise, is leading effectively that war against mass unemployment.
"let me inform you all that the Federal Government has put all plans in place to ensure that businesses succeed in Nigeria The present administration has launched series of funding and capacity development initiatives designed to support Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
Since 2017, the Development Bank of Nigeria has disbursed a total of N100 billion through the bank's 27 participating financial Institutions (PFIs), thereby impacting more than 100,000 MSMEs.
"It is heartwarming to note that fifty two percent (52 percent) of loans disbursed in 2019 and 2020 were to youths and women owned businesses."

It is never worthwhile developing a guideline locally unless you have first looked to see what already exists.
The next two articles in this series consider how to assess a guideline developed elsewhere, and when to develop a guideline locally. But both start from the assumption that you know what there is and can make judgments accordingly.
National guidance will be easier to locate than in the past by contacting NICE, which started on 1 April 1999, or SIGN and SHTAC in Scotland. National Service Frameworks may also be relevant, and NICE will be producing guidelines to support these.
It is also worth enquiring whether one or more of the relevant national professional organisations, such as the medical Royal Colleges, has published relevant material. The majority of the Royal Colleges have developed guidelines relevant to their own specialties. Their guidelines can often be found in their lists of publications.
Remember that you should search for information about standards, protocols, consensus documents, algorithms, and decision-support systems as well as guidelines: one person's guideline may well be another person's algorithm or consensus statement.
This article highlights some useful sources of information.
MEDLINE and Healthstar: look for publication types described as 'guideline' or 'consensus development conference'. Healthstar includes some journals and other material (such as the AHCPR guidelines) not referenced in MEDLINE.
CINAHL: look for publication type described as 'practice guidelines'. CINAHL includes the full text version of some guidelines, including AHCPR guidelines.
EMBASE: look for subject heading 'practice guidelines'. This will be helpful for articles about guidelines.
This database (Institute of Health Sciences in Oxford) aims to include high quality guidelines across a wide range of topics, but is also responsive to local guideline priorities as these arise. Guidelines that are developed locally, as well as national and international ones, are considered for inclusion.
Guidelines are obtained from local and national groups, professional bodies and Royal Colleges, as well as librarians, practitioners and other staff across the health service. Literature searches, other guideline databases and the internet are also used.
Where possible, a link to the full text of the guideline document.
ARIF is a specialist unit of three people based at the University of Birmingham, which was set up to help healthcare workers access and interpret research evidence in response to particular problems.
ARIF is a collaboration between the Department of Public Health & Epidemiology, the Department of General Practice and the Health Services Management Centre at the University of Birmingham. It was funded for three years from 1 July 1995 by the Research and Development Department, and has funding until April 2003 from the NHS Executive, West Midlands.
An important objective of ARIF is to provide timely access to, and advice on, existing reviews of research.
This is an example of one of the many Royal College initiatives.
The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) was formed in 1993. Its objective is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of clinical care for patients in Scotland by developing, publishing and disseminating guidelines that identify and promote good clinical practice, for use by the health service in Scotland.
SIGN selects guideline topics on the basis of the burden of disease, evidence of variation in practice and the potential to improve outcome. More than 40 guidelines have been published or are in development.

The Health Care Evaluation Unit (HCEU) is an autonomous unit within the Department of Public Health Sciences at St George's Hospital Medical School.
It aims to improve the cost-effectiveness of services provided by the NHS, through a coordinated programme of research, education, service development and consultancy. The research programme covers primary and secondary research, incorporating qualitative and quantitative methodologies as appropriate.
The HCEU has been funded by the NHS Executive to appraise national clinical guidelines on their behalf. The aim of the service is to produce an independent and transparent assessment of the quality of guidelines.

AHCPR was established in December 1989 as a part of the US Department of Health and Human Services. It is the lead agency charged with supporting research designed to improve the quality of healthcare, reduce its cost, and broaden access to essential services. AHCPR's broad programmes of research bring practical, science-based information to medical practitioners and to consumers and other healthcare purchasers.
AHCPR convenes multidisciplinary panels of private sector healthcare experts and consumers, and contracts with private, non-profit organisations to develop clinical practice guidelines.
The panels base their recommendations primarily on extensive searches and critical reviews and syntheses of the published scientific literature. When scientific literature is incomplete or inconsistent in a particular area, the recommendations reflect the professional judgment of panel members and consultants.
Each guideline reflects the state of knowledge, current at the time of release, on effective and appropriate care. Given the inevitable changes in the state of scientific information and technology, periodic review and revision will be carried out as needed to reflect new research findings and experience with emerging technologies.
Peer review and field reviews are undertaken to evaluate the validity, reliability, and utility of the guidelines in clinical practice. Clinicians and other healthcare professionals who are representative of potential guideline users evaluate each guideline in their own practice settings.
The US National Guideline Clearing-house (NGC) is a public resource. It is also a comprehensive database of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines and related documents produced by AHCPR, in partnership with the American Medical Association (AMA; http://www.ama-assn.org) and the American Association of Health Plans (AAHP; http://www.aahp.org/).

Hershey Tops Q3 Estimates, Reinstates Guidance
The chocolate maker said it expects an annual revenue increase of 1% over the previous year.
Nov 6, 2020 9:02 AM EST
Shares of Hershey (HSY) - Get Report rose in pre-market trading on Friday after the chocolate maker announced third quarter results that topped analyst expectations.
The Pennsylvania-based company reported third quarter of $2.22 billion, a 4% year-over-year increase, with net income of $447.3 million, or $1.86 per share.
Analysts were expecting revenue of $2.18 billion with earnings of $1.74 per share.
Hershey shares rose 2.3% to $148.00 pre-market Friday.
"Our core U.S. business remains healthy as consumers reach for small treats during the pandemic, and our decision to lean into Halloween ahead of the season supported consumers' desire to find new and creative ways to celebrate safely," said CEO Michele Buck in a statement.
The company's operating profit of $611.4 million increased 32.7% year-over-year, resulting in a profit margin of 27.5%, an increase of 5.9 percentage points.
The company's North America segment saw business increase 6.3% year-over-year, while its international segment decreased 14.4% over the same period.
Hershey reinstated its full-year guidance after withdrawing it in April due to uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. The company said it expects an annual revenue increase of 1% year-over-year, which includes a 2% decline in its international segment due to the pandemic.
Earnings for the year are expected to range between $6.18 and $6.24 per share. Analysts are expecting earnings of $6.03 per share for the year.
"We are continuing to focus on executing with excellence, investing in the business, and advancing our strategic priorities to deliver a strong fourth quarter and position us well for 2021," Buck said.
Separately, Hershey declared a quarterly dividend of 80 cents per share on common stock, and a quarterly dividend of 73 cents per share on Class B shares payable Dec. 15 to shareholders of record on Nov. 20.
This is the 145th consecutive regular dividend for the company's Class B stock.

This round table is the perfect size for a novel, a G&T and a bowl of nibbles, or Granny's afternoon sherry.
The proportions are perfect for it to nestle up conveniently close to a chair, and it is light enough to be moved around a room as needed and stored out of the way in an empty corner when not being used.
The styling on the Gin Huffer table suits any style of sofa or chair in a study or sitting space. The table top is supported by elegantly tapered bronze legs in a tripod arrangement. The oiled oak is offset by the metallic bronze of the legs and we really love the exquisite detailing on this useful little piece of furniture. The edges of the top are beautifully ridged, and hooked over the outside perimeter are two triangular, duck-foot shaped 'handles' in bronze.
We have commissioned this piece from a wonderful team who design and make handcrafted furniture in Britain.
Exquisitely detailed side table in oak and bronze.
Oiled oak with tapered bronze tripod legs. Ridged edge and triangular shaped bronze detail to top. A huffer is a triangular shaped soft roll, peculiar to Essex. The origin of the name is unclear but it is possibly a corruption of 'half a' loaf. In the case of this table, the name refers to the triangular bronze shapes.
Avoid moisture sitting on surface for any length of time. Wipe over with a dry cloth, slightly damp if needed. Use a beeswax polish as required.

Q: How to work with the url of a fileReader object?
Hello! I'am trying to make it work a function called loadDocument, who need a url of the loaded files from the user local computer to work. I'm writing an API to load document from local user computer, and show it on a web reader.
This is my upload button :
  <input type="file" id="input" onchange="module.onLoadSelection();" alt="Browse" name="upload"/>
This is my function without fileReader :
var onLoadSelection = function () {
    var select = document.getElementById('input');
    if (select && select.value) {
        var id= '';
        var url = select.files.item(0).name;
        module.loadDocument(url,id);
    }
};

This is my function with fileReader :
var loadTest = function (input) {
    var file = document.querySelector('input[type=file]').files[0];
    console.log("file loaded! ->", file); // i can read the obj of my file
    var reader = new FileReader();

    var id = ''; // don't need rightnow
    var url = reader.readAsDataURL(file);
    console.log("url :", url); // show me undefined....
    module.loadDocument(url,id);
}

What i am trying is to get the url of the loaded file from user computer to get my function loadDocument working. She need a url parameter to work.
loadDocument is an API function, i assume i can't get the filepath of my user due to security reason.
What do i need to change/update on my loadDocument(); function to work?
Edit : In fact, nothing to change. The correct way to read my file was :
<input type="file" id="input" onchange="module.onLoadSelection(this.files);" alt="Browse" name="upload"/>
var onLoadSelection = function (files) {
    if (files && files.length == 1) {
       var id = '';
       var url = URL.createObjectURL(files[0]);
       module.loadDocument(url,id);
    }
};

A: Don't use a FileReader at all.
When you want to display a File (or a Blob) that is in the browser's memory or on user's disk, then all you need is to generate an URL that do point to this memory slot.
That's exactly what URL.createObjectURL(blob) does: it returns a Blob URI (blob://) that points to the data either in memory or on the disk, acting exactly as a simple pointer.
This method has various advantages over the FileReader.readAsDataURL() method. To name a few:

*

*Store the data in memory only once, when FileReader would need it at reading, then generate a copy as an base64 encoded, and an other one at displaying...

*Synchronous. Since all it does is to generate a pointer, no need to make it async.

*Cleaner code.

const module = {
  loadDocument: (url) => {
    document.body.append(
      Object.assign(
        document.createElement('iframe'),
        { src: url }
      )
    )
  }
};

document.querySelector('input[type=file]').addEventListener('input', function (evt) {
    var file = this.files[0];
    var url = URL.createObjectURL(file);
    module.loadDocument(url);
});
<input type="file">

A:  function PreviewFiles(input) {
        if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
             var reader = new FileReader();
             reader.onload = function (e) {
             //alert(e.target.result);
                 $('#pclogo').prop('src', e.target.result)
                    .width(200)
                    .height(200);
                    var base64result = e.target.result.split(',')[1];
                $('input[name="logo"]').val(base64result);
            };
            reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);

            }

        }

A: File objects have a readAsDataURL method.
Use that.
  var file    = document.querySelector('input[type=file]').files[0];
  var reader  = new FileReader();

  reader.addEventListener("load", function () {
    doSomethingWithAUrl(reader.result);
  }, false);

  if (file) {
    reader.readAsDataURL(file);
  }

Balance transfers are the best way to save money if you have good or excellent credit history but carry a balance on your card. With a high interest rate, it can take decades to pay off your debt, but with a no-fee intro 0% interest rate on balance transfer offer from a reputable bank, you'll pay off your balance much faster.
Keep in mind that you cannot use a balance transfer offer from the same bank that issued the card you want to transfer a balance from. Look for offers from a different card issuer. If you have a large balance - higher than $10,000, for example - you probably won't be able to put the entire balance on one card. Apply for more than one card so you can spread the balance over several cards and maximize your savings.
NB! You cannot transfer a balance between credit cards from the same issuer or bank.
For people stuck paying high interest rates on their credit cards, balance transfer credit cards are a great way to save money. With a 0% APR balance transfer credit card, you can move your old balance to a card that carries better terms and lower interest rates. But once you make even one late payment, not only will your 0% rate end, you may get slapped with a penalty APR.
With a balance transfer, you are literally moving your balance from one card to another - allowing you to enjoy a lower interest rate while you pay off a balance from the holidays, a large purchase, or a high-interest card. You might want to do this when an introductory period on one card ends, in order to extend the benefits of low interest.
You also may want to consolidate debt by moving multiple credit card balances to one card, so you have fewer bills to pay each month. If your credit limit allows you to accommodate your combined balances, it will make your life simpler and your credit card balance easier to pay off.

Dairy Farmers of America Headquarters
Supporting Our Family Farms in a Workplace for the Future
LEED Silver
IIDA Mid-America Gold Award
IIDA Mid-America Best in Show Award
ASLA Prairie Gateway Chapter Award of Merit
The story of Dairy Farmers of America's (DFA) headquarters is the story of the people behind dairy farms. More specifically, it's the story of how those family farms produce products that are served on family tables in the U.S. and overseas.
As the nation's largest dairy cooperative, DFA wanted its new building to honor its 15,000 U.S. dairy farm owners. It also needed to provide a branded, high-performance workplace that would enable its 400-plus employees to support co-op members in every way possible. DFA's culture and agrarian roots guided every aspect of the design.
This building is a testament to our family farmers and the sustainable practices they employ on their dairies each and every day. It's not a typical corporate office space, but it absolutely functions like one. — Rick Smith , President and CEO, Dairy Farmers of America
This space needed to integrate farmers and DFA staff to become a workplace of choice and drive business growth. The company encouraged employees to help shape the amenity-rich environment and more than 75 percent answered the call by participating in meetings or charrettes with the design team. After its first year occupying the space, DFA's number of employees had grown by nearly 20 percent.
DFA wanted to free its people to collaborate and innovate. The design moved the organization from a workplace with 176 closed offices to an open floor plan with just 10 private offices. To promote constant collaboration, the building has 100-plus meeting spaces—nearly one for every four occupants. Even the CEO's open workspace converts into a collaboration space for staff.
A blend of indoor and outdoor space demonstrates DFA's relationship with nature. One of the cafe's exterior walls opens to a large exterior terrace. Outdoor conference rooms give people a new kind of meeting space. Second- and third-floor terraces act as a modern interpretation of the family farm's front porch.
Designing DFA's Brand Story
Every program element and design detail—from the milk bar down to the blackened steel silverware—helps tell the story of DFA's culture and mission.
View Slides
That story begins with the building's agrarian-inspired building materials and architecture. The exterior welcomes visitors with a first-floor, Garapa wood rainscreen facade that subtly reinforces a farm motif.
The second and third floors are wrapped in expansive curtain wall that reflects DFA's global work.
Inside, visitors immediately encounter a whimsical, 29-foot-tall milk sculpture crafted by Dimensional Innovations Inc. Visible from the second floor workspaces, the glossy, ceiling-to-floor pour is a constant reminder of the product that has brought everyone to this place.
A milk bar next to the lobby highlights the product. The design team envisioned this as a space that points to DFA's roots, with locally-sourced, milk on tap and a custom serving bar for demonstrations.
A single barn in Southern Missouri provided nearly all the reclaimed wood. The team preserved the wood in its natural state, wire brushing it while meticulously maintaining the integrity of its burn marks, rust, screw holes and saw marks.
In a nod to DFA's roots and growth trajectory, the interiors juxtapose organic materials with sleek applications of white. All fabrics are natural fiber wool. A farm-inspired plaid was sourced from British suit maker Paul Smith. Natural cow leathers take on a beautiful patina as they age. Raw, hot-rolled steel reinforces DFA's production business. Use of concrete provides another reminder of the perseverance of the family farmer.

Special staff amenities include a full-service kitchen and cafeteria, a visitor business center, a convertible multipurpose room large enough for all employees to gather, fitness facilities that include basketball and bocce ball courts, a walking trail and a fire pit.
Positioned for Growth
DFA selected this accessible suburban site for its proximity to amenities and opportunities for future growth. The site's configuration makes it easy for DFA to add a wing or construct a new standalone building.

In a season that has been relatively devoid of Obi-Wan Kenobi thus far, Deception brought the focus back to The Negotiator in a unique and compelling way. His transformation into bounty hunter Rako Hardeen gave us a chance to see him on the opposite side of the law, and it brought up the question of proper ends and means for Mace Windu and Yoda to consider. After episodes like the Krell story arc and A Friend In Need, we're used to stories with big-picture implications. While there was some of that in Deception -- mostly with Mace and Yoda, but also in terms of Anakin's grief -- this episode impressed me for other reasons.
I noticed that The Clone Wars animators are paying more and more attention to the facial expressions of their characters. For example, Obi-Wan's face betrayed a weary look as he stepped out from cover to be shot by Hardeen. In addition, Ahsoka's face, welling with tears, perfectly reflected the grief she must have been feeling as she confirmed to her Master that his former teacher was dead. This grief, transferred to Anakin, became fury as he stood over Obi-Wan's body in the Jedi Temple -- and his eyes reflected that combination of rage and agony. I also have to give major props to Matt Lanter for infusing his character with just the right dose of frustration and anger as he confronted Hardeen over Obi-Wan's death. On another face-related note, the significance of Anakin's Dark-Side-ish mood was compounded by the worried look on Ahsoka's face as she stood in the shadows behind Anakin and "Hardeen." This moment continued the series' new and ominous motif of Ahsoka casting concerned and disapproving glances as Anakin briefly loses control.
This episode also had a handful of "Easter eggs," some light-hearted and some more serious. On a funny note, one Coruscant cantina patron was overheard referring to Hardeen and saying, "I wanna check his midi-chlorian count. I also found it funny that one of the guards in the crematorium processing center was eating a sandwich. Plus, when the prison crematorium officer went to check out the life signs in the escapees' pods, he told his coworker, "Alright, I'll check it out," in an apparent reference to the TK-421 scene aboard the Death Star in A New Hope. It's little details like these that bring life to a universe as dynamic as Star Wars. On a darker note, it wasn't lost on me that as Anakin closed his eyes in despair at Obi-Wan's funeral, a brief strain of the Imperial March could be heard.
I've been referring to Obi-Wan's death and his funeral, but of course good old Kenobi's staged incident was all part of the plan. The idea to insert a senior Jedi into a Republic prison to stop an assassination being planned by one of its inmates was an interesting one, but Yoda and Mace Windu pointed out the fact that such a ruse would require Obi-Wan to adopt highly un-Jedi-like methods to win Moralo Eval's trust. The plot, Yoda noted, could lead them all down a "dark path." I've long been a fan of the series' occasional glimpses into the workings of the Jedi Council, so the disagreement between Mace and Yoda about the undercover operation was great to watch. Predictably, Yoda, ever the philosopher, feared that their deception would open the door to the Dark Side, while Mace Windu, the consummate tactician, believed that it was the only way to avoid the bloodshed that would come with an assassination attempt on Chancellor Palpatine.
It was exactly because of these morality concerns that I found Obi-Wan's personal transformation very interesting. The Jedi are trying something this covert and tricky out of desperation; they've exhausted their other avenues. Because this is not the kind of thing that they're used to, the plan requires a senior Jedi who's an expert at improvising. Even though he's one of the Order's finest, the implications for Obi-Wan going undercover are serious. He may be experienced, but as tactics go, he's very straight-laced. Adopting the methods and persona of a criminal was clearly outside his comfort zone. I liked seeing him play a role that he wasn't used to, one that he had to adjust to on the fly.
When he actually arrived in prison, Obi-Wan started getting into character almost immediately. Even after facing down one of Riff Tamson's shark buddies, he was still clearly uncomfortable with some of the violence inherent in his cover story. This concern intensified when the prison break began, but he got better and better at emulating his fellow prisoners with each minute he spent in their company. With that in mind, and given the earlier concern about ethics, there was no mistaking the look that Mace gave Yoda after Obi-Wan told them, "I'm starting to enjoy playing the villain."
The first part of that report from Obi-Wan instantly caught my attention, as I asked myself, "What did Obi-Wan just use for a codename?" Indeed, as Pablo Hidalgo confirmed today on Twitter, this was the first time that we've heard Obi-Wan go by the nickname "Ben." The more I thought about it, the more I realized that this enhances A New Hope for me, because it means that Obi-Wan's hermit pseudonym has connotations that go back to "the good old days." By employing a retcon, I will speculate that his decision to go by "Ben" on Tatooine meant he was constantly thinking about his undercover Clone Wars missions. At least back before Order 66 he could walk around as Obi-Wan Kenobi without a price on his head -- oh wait, that's what Deception was all about! On a more serious note, I really wish we had more information about how he chose the codename in the first place.
Codenames aside, the Republic prison setting generated a number of other interesting moments. Aside from a brief scene involving Ziro the Hutt a while ago, we've never spent time inside the walls of a Republic prison. This new environment received a fantastic treatment on The Clone Wars, with a realistic audio backdrop of prisoner chatter, that funky cell block arrangement from the Ziro episode, and, of course, several colorful characters inhabiting the clink with Obi-Wan. Speaking of colorful characters, I'm glad that we're getting the opportunity to see Cad Bane again. The same goes for Boba Fett, and if I'm not mistaken, we'll be seeing Dengar soon as well. I like that this story arc is bringing back a lot of the bounty hunters from seasons past. Seeing Cad Bane deal with "colleagues" instead of targets was also a refreshing change of pace. His grudging cooperation with Moralo and "Rako" established a different tone for his character than we see when he's facing down Jedi.
When it came time to break out of the prison, I was surprised at how easy it was. The clones offered very poor resistance, and since this looked like a maximum-security joint, you'd think they would have been better prepared. If the end of the episode was any indication, even Cad Bane was surprised by the ease of their escape. When Obi-Wan, as Hardeen, asserted that his skills had been invaluable back in the prison, Bane coolly replied, "Funny how that worked out." At that moment, I found myself wondering something that I never expected to wonder while watching this episode: had the Jedi plot been unraveled already? It remains to be seen if Bane has caught onto Obi-Wan's ruse, of course, but I suspect he'll be watching "Hardeen" closely in the next episode. Only someone as careful and attentive to detail as Cad Bane could see through something this well-played.
The setting for Deception's main action sequence presented a nontraditional look at knocking down those ever-present clones. We don't usually see the enemy making such easy work of the Republic soldiers -- mostly because battle droids don't have the tactical experience of these hardened inmates -- so the scenes where the guards and officers got slaughtered were pretty grim. And speaking of the security clones, one thing I found curious was Moralo?s statement that he had "influence" in the prison and the way he was clearly able to boss his cell guards around. It got me wondering how one could bribe clones as one would with regular prison guards. I wouldn't have thought that was possible until this episode.
While Deception primarily centered on Obi-Wan's brief time in the slammer with a bunch of scum and villainy, it also sprinkled in some other nice moments. As a big Mace Windu fan, I was glad to see him appear again, and I was especially intrigued by his using the Force to put Hardeen to sleep. In a story as fast-paced as Deception had to be, it was nice to see the Jedi using special new tricks like that. Furthermore, I appreciated that the episode slowed down to fit in a quick conversation between Obi-Wan and Mace. While they're both senior Jedi Masters with very serious jobs to do, they clearly have respect and admiration for each other, and I'm thankful for any opportunities we get to see that camaraderie play out on-screen.
All in all, this was a pretty straightforward "shoot-em-up" kind of episode. There was a dash of Dark-Side implication when Anakin completely lost it following his close friend's apparent death, but for the most part, this episode's pacing and simple chain of events reflected its basic purpose -- to set up the rest of the story arc and establish that Obi-Wan faced a challenging mission. Regardless of how nuanced this four-parter turns out to be, I'm glad we're finally seeing a story arc that focuses on Master Kenobi, even if we're not literally seeing him. The man has largely been absent from Season 4 and he's part of what grounds the series in its Star Wars roots, so it was about time we checked in with him for some serious character development and a seriously harrowing adventure. The fact that James Arnold Taylor also voices Hardeen in this story arc brings a vocal consistency to the two characters' personalities and attitudes that really helps sell the Jedi General's transformation. I'm excited to see what's next for Obi-Wan Kenobi on this mission, because Deception, with its emphasis on the danger of entering a prison environment to make allies, set the right tone.

Adelobasileus, for The Teaching Company, by Karen Carr and Karen Carr Studio, Inc.
Adelobasileus is a species of extinct early mammal from the Late Triassic, more than 220 million years ago. It is known from a partial skull recovered from west Texas.
Important features of the skull ad ear suggest that Adelobasileus is a key transitional species between cynodonts and later mammals, and may in fact be the common ancestor to all modern mammals.


B&D Safe Opening attended a call out to a client in London. The safe model that we were required to open was a Stratford Cashier Safe. Our client had lost the combination code to gain access to the contents of the safe, so we needed to crack the code for them. The safe had not been opened for 8 years!
After successfully opening the safe without damaging it, we created a new code for the customer so the safe was fully operational again.
B&D Safe Opening are available to open all key lock, digital lock and mechanical combination locks across London and the home Counties.
We were called out to a customer in London as they were locked out of their Stratford safe. The safe had a Rosengrens cnab combination dial fitted. This particular dial lock can frequently be found on both Stratford and Tann safes.
B&D Safe Opening can not only gain access to your safe but we can also re code the lock and if necessary, cut you a new set of keys. The key cutting will take place on site, so you will know that the keys correctly operate the lock on your safe before we leave.B&D Safe Opening open safes in North, South, East and West London and all surrounding South West England counties.
B&D Safe Opening were called out to a customer's address in Putney, South West London.
We needed to open this Stratford cashier safe, due to the customer having lost the combination to operate the lock on the door.
The safe had not been opened for many years. B&D Safe Opening managed to work out the lost combination but unfortunately the safe still didn't open. This was because there was a problem with the mechanics inside the combination lock. However, after many hours we finally opened the safe without damaging it.


Hope he's still getting the job.

Total UV Power from an Irradiance Measurement – Correcting the Keitz Equation
Stephen W. Jaworowicz
Process Engineer, Light Sources, Inc.
Ultraviolet (UV) lamps are an important part of water treatment plants worldwide. Daily, millions of gallons of water are made safe by using UV to inactivate microbial pathogens. In designing an effective UV water treatment unit, it is necessary to know the total UV power emanating from the lamp. Determining the power of a UV source is not as easy as it is for a visible light source. The major means of estimating total UV power from a lamp is via irradiance measurements and utilizing the Keitz equation. Although used for decades, the Keitz equation only gives a rough estimate of the power since it suffers from one glaring limitation: when the distance from the detector to the lamp is "short", the power determined by the equation will greatly depend on the distance; it will not give consistent results. Only at measurement distances that are much longer than the lamp arc length does the calculations become consistent. This paper will show a means of correcting that discrepancy. The definitions for radiometric quantities are from the IES(2).
Integrating spheres and power measurements
The use of an integrating sphere is the defined method of determining the total power from a light source. Using a sphere is based on a few stipulations. First, that the light source is small in comparison to the sphere diameter. That allows it to be treated as a point source, or close to one. Second, the coating inside the sphere is a "perfect" lambertian reflector of the light. Unfortunately, neither of these readily applies to UV light sources.
The lamps used for disinfection are not small. They are quite long and can approach the entire diameter of the sphere. Hence, they cannot be considered as even approximating a point source. Second, UV light does not reflect well. It is absorbed by almost all materials commonly used as a sphere coating. There are specialized coatings available (1). These are more expensive and usually used in small spheres attached to spectroradiometers. This is helpful but does not mitigate the fact that the light sources are just too long. So, even though calibrated UV detectors are inexpensive and available, the standard method of measuring total emitted UV power is not.
Figure 1. Orientation of detector to lamp for measurements
In lieu of any direct sphere measurement, for years UV lamps were measured at a standardized distance (D) of 1 meter(2) (fig. 1).
What was needed was a means of approximating the readings from an integrating sphere by a simple irradiance measurement.
The Keitz equation and the experiment
Based on the work of Keitz (3) the equation (4) bearing his name is the most widely accepted method of estimating the total UV power from a linear source. Taking a measurement per fig. 1, then:
Table 1. Experimental Data. Lamp arc length L=148cm.
Within the records of Light Sources, Inc., the author found the results of an experiment conducted in 2013 (5). The lamps used were higher power (~300 W) amalgam lamps of arc length L=148 cm. The lamps were run under controlled input power with adequate warm up time and precautions for controlling stray surface reflectance. Irradiance measurements were made at distances of D=1 meter and D=2.89 meters. The detector used was an assembly consisting of an International Light SED240 solar blind detector, two NS254 filters and a type "W" cosine correcting diffuser. The data is shown in Table 1.
Table 2. Power calculated from data of Table 1 using
original Keitz equation
The total UV power for each reading was calculated using (eq. 1). The results are listed in Table 2.
The experiment clearly shows the inconsistency of the results for "short" measurement distances as compared to the "long" distances. In fact, the short distance results must be increased by ~27% to match the long distance. This is a very large difference which requires explanation. The first possible cause could be that the detector does not have the entire lamp in its field of view. This is a reasonable concern. At a distance of one meter for a lamp of 1.48-meter arc length, one calculates  = 36.5° (0.637 radians). The full field of view must be at least twice that, 73.0° (1.274 radians).
Fig. 2: Light path through International Light sensor and filters (to scale) showing field of view
The author disassembled another detector and carefully measured all the individual components. Using AutoCAD® software, full scale drawings of each component were made then assembled into the detector. Using simple ray tracing on the drawing (fig. 2) one gets a full field of view of ~90.4° from sensor through diffuser (neglecting diffraction). If one wishes to say that any light hitting the diffuser itself will be detected by the sensor, then the angle is greater, ~167°. The author does not see this as the source for the discrepancy.
A second reasonable concern is that the sensor does not have a good cosine correction. This particular sensor does not have an individual scan of its response, and the author does not have the means of producing one. Therefore, one must depend on the information from the manufacturer (9) and on the results of others who have made such measurements on similar sensors (6)(7)(8). The author concludes that the detector would only have a few percent error from true cosine response. This is still not enough to account for the discrepancy.
Back to the origin
Going back to the original source (3) to study and understand the derivation of (eq. 1) provided several insights. Keitz dealt with visible light sources, but his methodology applies to radiation sources in general. This is not a problem. Nowhere in the book is (eq. 1) derived. Also, nowhere in the book is the suggestion made that one could determine the power of a linear radiation source from one irradiance measurement. On the contrary, Keitz was always interested in predicting the irradiance at various points and assumed that the power was already known. The method he accepted for determining total power was with an integrating sphere.
A problem that he did want to address was this: how much of an error would be expected in predicting an irradiance at some point if (a) a linear light source was treated as if it were a point source and (b) using just the inverse square law in the calculations. That lead him to what he called the "exact formula." For the prediction of irradiance for Figure 1, the formula (Keitz, p.141, eq. (IX-19)) is (10)
Keitz went on to compare his exact formula with the inverse square law, concluding (p.142, figure 76) that the inverse square law will give acceptable results (within 4%) when the measurement distance is greater than twice the length of the source. At the end Keitz states (p.144), "The emission of light from many present-day kinds of light source approximates so closely to uniform diffuse radiation that it is worthwhile using the exact formula for short distances." However, there is no experimental data presented that illustrates how well his exact formula predicts the irradiance at short distances.
Completing the derivation
Figure 3. How the lamp measurement is conceived for formula derivation
How then does one get from (eq. 2) to (eq. 1)? Equally important, why does (eq. 1) not work as intended? To answer these questions, one must look to the method of derivation as summarized in (ref. 4). One starts with the setup of Fig. 1, then simplifies it by splitting it into two identical triangles (Fig. 3). The measured irradiance (E) will be from the entire lamp. The lamp is viewed as two identical halves with two identical meters (Fig. 3).
Fig. 4: Graphical depiction of variables used in the mathematics
The reading of one meter is simply multiplied by two to get the entire lamp. Thus, any equation which would apply to half a lamp is doubled to get the entire lamp. The rest of the derivation comes from breaking the arc into small increments of length (dL), determining the irradiance from each small length to the detector (dEL/2), and then summing the contributions .
Each incremental length (dL) is assumed to be a lambertian radiator whose intensity is dependent
Fig 5: Variation of intensity from a tubular Lambertian radiator
on the angle of exitance. The maximum intensity (Io) is normal to the surface element.
The lambert cosine law is applied to both the light being emitted from each increment and to the light hitting the detector. The inverse square law is applied to the intensity of the light from the varying distance (d) (fig. 4). The incremental irradiance (dEL/2) from each incremental length (dL) is:
In order to mimic the readings which would be obtained in an integrating sphere, there is a limiting distance of L < 2D (i.e. maximum arc that could theoretically fit into a sphere of radius D).
The lamp is assumed to have constant power per unit length:
This means that the incremental power (dP) from each incremental length (dL) is assumed identical and must match with (eq. 4):
This gives a means of calculating the total power if a method of determining any incremental power is determined:
Fig. 6: Orientation of lamp and centered incremental arc length to the sphere of integration for original Keitz equation derivation
The consistency of power per unit length is important. The intensity of light is dependent on the power emitted. Hence, the intensity of light from each incremental length is also identical. At this stage the method is tied to an integrating sphere. The lamp is visualized as being in a sphere with the lamp center at the sphere center (Fig.6). The incremental length (dL) under consideration is at the sphere center.
By considering just this small increment of length at the sphere center the incremental power is related to the maximum intensity by integrating dP over the entire sphere surface. This is visually represented in (Fig 7).
Fig. 7: Graphical depiction of variables used in determining the incremental power from an incremental length
As the angle (Ø) is varied from 0 to π/2, the incremental angle (dA) sweeps out symmetrical areas (dA) on each side of the sphere. Being in the center and having this symmetry greatly simplifies the math. Half of the energy of dP emanating to the right side falls on exactly half of the sphere surface. The other half of the energy to the left falls on an identical surface area. The mathematics will not be detailed here. Suffice to say, the result is a very simple equation relating the intensity (Io) to the incremental power (dP):
Taking (eq. 7c) and substituting it into (eq. 3) gives:
Then, (eq. 6) is substituted into (eq. 8):
From (Fig. 4) the length (l) is the length of a tangent, and the distance (d) is the hypotenuse of a triangle. Both are functions of the angle (ψ). The equation for the irradiance reduces to a single variable.
This can now be integrated over the angle ψ from 0 to a. This is a known definite integral function which results in the irradiance as
After re-arranging one gets the Keitz equation (eq. 1) above.
A Source of error and a possible correction
The author sees the source of the discrepancy in the use of the spherical integration and the derivation of (eq. 7c). The derivation does "integration over the surface of sphere," but this is not identical to what occurs in a true integrating sphere. Inside a true integrating sphere, radiation is reflected a myriad of times by a "perfectly diffuse" surface. The result is the inner surface having a constant surface radiance (W/(sphere surface area-steradian)). Even if the source is not at the sphere center, the repeated reflectance creates a constant radiance. The surface radiance is size dependent (1)(11). With constant radiance one gets a constant radiant exitance (W/m2) and constant surface irradiance (also W/m2).
An irradiance meter will have a finite surface area which, when used with a sphere, will substitute for a fraction of the total sphere surface. The ratio of the meter area to the sphere surface area gives the total fraction of power it will measure. However, in the derivation above, that sphere is not a true integrating sphere. There are no repeated reflections. Without that constantly occurring diffuse reflectance the sphere radiance is not a constant. The result is (dP) being calculated as the average of all the irradiances. The sphere size component is already considered. With the radiation source being lambertian the radiance has an angular component, also considered. But, without the diffuse reflectance there is an added positional component not yet considered. This last component will affect the resulting average irradiance and, thus, the partial power calculated from it.
Fig. 8: Orientation of lamp and off-center incremental arc length to the sphere of integration for new derivation
The author's re-evaluation of the method focuses on the derivation of equations 7a to 7c. Specifically, what happens when the reference point is moved away from the lamp center? The situation then goes from that of (Fig. 7) to that of (Fig. 8):
Most importantly, the integration to find the power to intensity relationship is no longer simple or symmetric (Fig. 9).
When situated at the sphere center the intensity of light always falls perpendicular to the sphere surface. Now, that angle is 1 on one side and 2 on the other. Likewise, at sphere center the
Fig. 9: Graphical depiction of variables used in determining the incremental power for new derivation
distance from the source to the sphere is always equal to D. Now, it varies as r1 and r2. The areas of the integration sphere seen by each "half" of the radiator are no longer equal. One half of the energy will be on a smaller surface while the other will be on a much larger surface. At the sphere center only one equation is needed to integrate. Now, two different integrations must be done then added together. All of this varies with the distance away from the lamp center (l).
The result of all these differences distills down to (eq. 12):
Where (dP)|l,D is the partial power calculated from an element of length (dL) at a distance (l) from the center of a sphere of radius D.
There are only two situations where this integral is easily evaluated. The first is at the sphere center where l=0. The equation becomes (eq. 7a) giving (eq. 7c). The other is when l=D. That reduces to
This presents a paradox. There is a basic assumption that the lamp has a constant power per unit length. That requires (dP) to be a constant which implies (Io) to be constant. However, (eq. 7c) and (eq. 13) indicate that something is not constant. This is the result of the non-homogenous sphere radiance described previously. The newer conversion (eq. 12) allows for variation of the sphere size (in D), the direction of irradiance from the source (in Ø) and the location away from the sphere center (in l).
There is nothing wrong with the math of (eq. 12), but one can get confused on its interpretation. In a math equation the unknown quantity is on the left side; the function on the right side should contain only known variables. With this in mind, (dP)|l,D is an unknown being calculated. It is not a constant. The only constant in the formula is (Io). The equation is showing that the power being calculated will be affected by the position of (dL). Remember, half of the energy of the incremental length is going to a smaller area of the surface. It is closer to the sphere and will have a higher irradiance but less weight in the averaging. The other half of the energy is distributed on a larger area of the sphere and at much greater distances. That gives much lower irradiance and more weight in averaging. The net result is a lower average irradiance on the sphere with a resulting lower amount of power calculated.
The author now defines the function g(l,D) as:
This can be simplified parametrically by defining the ratio
where (dP)|R is the amount of power calculated from element (dL) lying at relative position R in the sphere.
Chart A – values of g(R)(eq. 16)
Table A and Chart A show the value of g(R) as R is varied from 0 (sphere center) to one (sphere wall) in 0.01 units. It shows how the integration varies with position along the radius of the sphere.
Table A. Values of g(R) (eq. 16). Based on varying θ by 1° increments for each value of R.
How does this help?
Equation 1 implies that the total power (P) is the unknown, and that the irradiance (E) being a measured quantity is known. That must be contrasted with (eq. 8), which shows that the irradiance to be measured (now an unknown) is dependent on the amount of power to be detected. That goes back further to (eq. 12) which shows that the power to be detected (unknown) will be dependent on the location of the incremental length. This is just a complex way of stating if the power measured is not what it is thought to be, the irradiance measured will be in error as will the total power calculated from it. What can be inferred from the curve of g(R) is that the further the radial distance from the sphere center (increasing R), the lower the detected power and the lower the calculated total power.
How can this relate to measurements?
Fig 10: New viewpoint of how the lamp measurement can be conceived
The author suggests a change in perspective of the problem. Change the thought experiment from the viewpoint of (Fig. 3) to (Fig. 10)
This is somewhat counterintuitive, but consider all the lengths, distances and angles are the same. The methodology is the same. What is different is the consideration that the measured irradiance is really referenced to the lowest value (i.e. (dP)|R) and not the highest (i.e. (dP)|R=0). From this perspective the irradiance measurements will always be too low, and the resulting calculated total power will be too low. The chart also shows that this effect is most pronounced at shorter measuring distances (where R approaches 1). At much longer distances (where R approaches 0) the variation is much smaller. This matches observations and maintains Keitz's statement concerning treating a linear source as if it were a point source: it only works well at long measuring distances.
What is needed is a correction factor from the lowest value to that of the maximum. The maximum value of g(R) is at R=0, the sphere center. The author now takes this element as the reference position. If obtained it would give the maximum calculated power. This is now defined as the correct value for (dP) of (eq. 6), or,
From (eq. 17) one obtains
Allowing
And substituting (eq. 18) gives
Upon re-arranging one obtains
The variable J(R) represents the correction factor needed to go from the power one calculates with (eq. 1) to the actual power.
The corrected formula
The corrected total UV power from irradiance formula becomes:
Chart B – values of J(R)(eq. 19d)
Table B and Chart B show the value of J(R) as R is varied from 0 (sphere center) to 1 (sphere wall) in 0.01 units. It shows the radial correction factor for position along the radius of the sphere.
Table B. Values of J(R) (eq. 19d). Based on varying θ by 1° increments for each value of R.
Re-examining the experiment
equation derived in this work
The data from Table 1 were used to calculate the total UV power using (eq. 20) with the results listed in Table 3.
The uncorrected equation results (Table 2) show no agreement of UV power with different distances D. The calculations with the corrected equation show good agreement. The power at the closer distance is equivalent to that of the greater distance which (ref. 3) indicates should be an acceptable value.
The corrected equation for total UV power from irradiance appears to give well correlated results for measuring a lamp at varying distances. All the requirements for obtaining good irradiance measurements (limiting reflection, proper alignment, correct distance measurements, etc.) should be met. In addition, the operator must know the usable full viewing angle of the detector to be certain that the entire arc length is being measured.

The NSW Government is supporting the maintenance and monitoring of the water and sewerage systems in eligible Aboriginal communities to improve services.
In December 2008 the NSW Government and the NSW Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC) agreed to share responsibility for these essential services in eligible discrete communities – former missions and reserves.
Under the agreement, the NSWALC and the NSW Government each pay half the cost of servicing water and sewerage systems and the government pays all program management and capital costs. This joint funding will total approximately $200 million over 25 years.
While Aboriginal Affairs is the lead agency, the NSW Office of Water is responsible for managing and running the water and sewerage program. NSW Health also plays an important role by monitoring health standards for water and sewerage systems in the communities involved.
The program ensures infrastructure and maintenance agreements are in place to operate, maintain and monitor the water and sewerage systems in eligible discrete Aboriginal communities.
Water and sewerage management plans are also being prepared for each community that will identify potential risks to the water supply and sewerage systems, leading to better management and fewer breakdowns.
In 1983, former Aboriginal reserve lands were transferred to Local Aboriginal Land Councils (LALCs) when the NSW Aboriginal Land Rights Act came into force.
This was intended as an act of reconciliation. However, the land transfers came with many new responsibilities unfamiliar to the newly created LALCs. Many LALCs became responsible for the water and sewerage systems on their land, often without access to the appropriate resources or technical knowledge.
This led to concerns about water and sewerage system failures and associated health risks.
In 2004, NSW Health established a working group to investigate infrastructure needs in discrete Aboriginal communities.
The 2007 report of the working group led to a full water and sewerage survey in each discrete Aboriginal communities.
A business case for NSW was then established and funding sought, resulting in the current partnership between the NSW Government and NSWALC to deliver the Aboriginal Communities Water and Sewerage Program.
Water and sewerage services have improved in eligible discrete communities since the introduction of the Aboriginal Communities Water and Sewerage Program.
The Office of Water monitors, repairs and maintains the water supply and sewerage systems. NSW Health conducts regular water collection and testing to ensure drinking water is safe and waste is being removed and disposed of properly.
The negotiation of long-term service agreements and management plans will ensure these higher service standards are maintained.
The program covers community infrastructure but not houses or housing infrastructure. Housing providers are responsible for maintaining their properties, including the plumbing systems for water and sewerage within the property's boundary.
The NSW Government and the NSWALC have made a 25-year commitment to jointly fund the program. The longer-term maintenance of systems put in place under this program is something that will need to be considered.
