262 Q. When and where are the bread and wine changed into the body and blood of Christ?
A. The bread and wine are changed into the body and blood of Christ at the consecration in the Mass.
263 Q. What is the Mass?
A. The Mass is the unbloody sacrifice of the body and blood of Christ.
The Holy Sacrifice is called Mass probably from the words the priest says at the end when he turns to the people and says, "Ite Missa est"; that is, when he tells them the Holy Sacrifice is over.
*264 Q. What is a sacrifice?
A. A sacrifice is the offering of an object by a priest to God alone, and the consuming of it to acknowledge that He is the Creator and Lord of all things.
"Sacrifice." From the very earliest history of man we find people – for example, Abel, Noe, etc. – offering up sacrifice to God; that is, taking something and offering it to God, and then destroying it to show that they believed God to be the Master of life and death, and the Supreme Lord of all things. These offerings were sometimes plants or fruits, but most frequently animals.
When men lost the knowledge of the true God and began to worship idols of wood and stone, they began or continued to offer sacrifice to these false gods. Very often, too, they sacrificed human beings to please, as they imagined, these gods. They believed there was a god for everything – a god for the ocean, a god for thunder, a god for wind, for war, etc.; and when anything happened that frightened or injured the people, they believed that some of these gods were offended, and offered up sacrifice to pacify them. They had a temple in Rome called the Pantheon, or temple of all the gods, and here they kept the idols of all the gods they could think of or know. At Athens, they were afraid of neglecting any god whom they might thus give offense, and so they had an altar for the unknown god. When St. Paul came to preach, he saw this altar to the unknown god, and told them that was the God he came to preach about. (Acts 17). He preached to them the existence of the true God, and showed them that there is only one God and not many gods.
They did not have these idols of wood and stone in their temples for the same reason that we have images in our churches, because they believed that the idols were really gods, and offered sacrifice to them, whereas we know that our images are the works of men. Near the city of Jerusalem there was a great idol named Molech, to which parents offered their infants in sacrifice. We know, too, from the history of this country that the Indians used to send a beautiful young girl in a white canoe over the falls of Niagara every year, as a sacrifice offered to the god of the falls. Even yet human sacrifices are offered up on savage islands. Sometimes certain animals were selected to be heathen gods. The people who worship idols, animals, or other things of that kind as gods are called pagans, idolaters, or heathens.
The Israelites, who worshipped the true God and offered Him sacrifices because He made known to them by revelation that they should do so, had four kinds of sacrifice. They offered one for sin, another in thanksgiving for benefits received, another as an act of worship, and another to beg God's blessing. It is just for these four ends or objects we offer up the one Christian sacrifice of the holy Mass. In the beginning the head of the family offered sacrifice – as Noe did when he came out of the Ark – but after God gave His laws to Moses He appointed priests to offer up the sacrifices. Aaron, the brother of Moses, was the first priest appointed, and after him his descendants were priests. When Our Lord came and instituted a new sacrifice He established the priesthood of the New Law, and appointed His own priests, namely, the Apostles, with St. Peter as their chief, and after them their lawfully appointed successors, the bishops of the world, with the Pope as their chief. The sacrifices of the Old Law were figures of the sacrifice of the New Law, and were to cease at its institution; and when the ancient sacrifices ceased the ancient priesthood was at an end.
265 Q. Is the Mass the same sacrifice as that of the Cross?
A. The Mass is the same sacrifice as that of the Cross.
But how is the Mass a sacrifice? It is a sacrifice because at the Mass the body and blood of Our Lord are offered to His heavenly Father at the consecration, and afterwards consumed by the priest. In offering up the body and blood of Our Lord the bread and wine are consecrated separately, and kept separate on the altar at Mass to signify their separation at Our Lord's death in the sacrifice of the Cross, when His sacred blood flowed from His body. The Holy Eucharist is also a Sacrament, because it has the three things necessary to constitute a Sacrament; namely, (1) The outward sign – that is, the appearance of bread and wine. (2) The inward grace; for it is Jesus Christ Himself, the Author and Dispenser of all graces. (3) It was instituted by Our Lord.
The Holy Eucharist is therefore both a sacrifice and a Sacrament. It is a sacrifice when offered at Mass, and a Sacrament when we receive it and when it is reserved in the tabernacle.
*266 Q. How is the Mass the same sacrifice as that of the Cross?
A. The Mass is the same sacrifice as that of the Cross because the offering and the priest are the same – Christ Our Blessed Lord; and the ends for which the sacrifice of the Mass is offered are the same as those of the sacrifice of the Cross.
On the Cross the offering was the body and blood of Our Lord; the one who offered it was Our Lord; the reason for which He offered it was that He might atone for sin; the one to whom He offered it was His heavenly Father. Now, at Mass it is the same. The object offered is Our Lord's body and blood, the one suffering is Our Lord Himself, through the priest; it is offered for sin, and it is offered to the heavenly Father. All things are the same, except that the blood of Our Lord is not shed, and Our Lord does not die again.
*267 Q. What are the ends for which the sacrifice of the Cross was offered?
A. The ends for which the sacrifice of the Cross was offered were: first, to honor and glorify God; second, to thank Him for all the graces bestowed on the whole world; third, to satisfy God's justice for the sins of men; fourth, to obtain all graces and blessings.
*268 Q. Is there any difference between the sacrifice of the Cross and the sacrifice of the Mass?
A. Yes; the manner in which the sacrifice is offered is different. On the Cross Christ really shed His blood and was really slain; in the Mass there is no real shedding of blood nor real death, because Christ can die no more; but the sacrifice of the Mass, through the separate consecration of the bread and the wine, represents His death on the Cross.
269 Q. How should we assist at Mass?
A. We should assist at Mass with great interior recollection and piety and with every outward mark of respect and devotion.
If you were admitted into the presence of a king or of the Holy Father you would be careful not to show any indifference or disrespect in his presence. You would not be guilty of looking around or of talking idly to those near you. Your eyes would be constantly fixed on the great person present. So should you be at Mass, for there you are admitted into the presence of the King of kings, our divine Lord. Your whole attention, therefore, should be reverently given to Him, and to no other. How displeasing it must be to Him to have some in His presence who care so little for Him and who insult Him without thought or regard! If we acted in the presence of any prince as we sometimes act in the presence of Our Lord on the altar, we should be turned out of his house, with orders not to come again. But Our Lord suffers all patiently and meekly, though He will not allow any of this disrespect to go unpunished in this world or in the next. Knowing this, some holy persons offer up their prayers and Holy Communions in reparation for these insults, and try to atone for all the insults offered to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. They have united in holy society for this purpose, called the Apostleship of Prayer, or League of the Sacred Heart, now established in many parishes. If you do not belong to such a society, you should make such an offering yourself privately.
In the Old Law the people brought to the temple whatever they wished the priests to offer up for them – sometimes a lamb, sometimes a dove, sometimes fruit, etc. The offering or sacrifice was theirs, and they offered it up by the hands of the priests. In the early ages of the Church the Christians brought to the priests the bread and wine to be consecrated and offered up at Mass. Now as the bread and wine used at the Mass must be of a particular kind, namely, wheaten bread and wine of the grape, there was some danger of the people not bringing the proper kind: so instead of the people bringing these things themselves, the priests began to buy them, and the people gave him money for his own support; and thus you have the origin of offering money to the priest for celebrating Mass for your intention. The money is not to pay for the Mass, because you could not buy any sacred thing without committing sin. The priest may use the money also for the candles burned, the vestments and sacred vessels, etc., used at the Mass. To buy a holy thing for money is the sin of simony – so called after Simon, a magician, who tried to bribe the Apostles to give him Confirmation when he was unworthy of it. To buy religious articles before they are blessed is not simony, nor even after they are blessed, if you pay only for the material of which they are made; but if you tried to buy the blessing, it would be simony. When the Holy Mass is offered, the fruits or benefits of it are divided into four classes. The first benefit comes to the priest who celebrates the Mass; the second, to the one for whom he offers the Mass; the third benefit to those who are present at it; and the fourth to all the faithful throughout the world.
*270 Q. Which is the best manner of hearing Mass?
A. The best manner of hearing Mass is to offer it to God with the priest for the same purpose for which it is said, to meditate on Christ's sufferings and death, and to go to Holy Communion.
That is, to offer it up for whatever intention the priest is offering it – for the dead, for the conversion of sinners, for the good of others, etc.; but especially for the four ends of which I have already spoken – to worship God, thank Him, etc. "Christ's death," of which it reminds us. "Holy Communion," if we are in a state of grace, and have prepared to receive Communion.
You should go to Holy Communion as often as possible, and you should try every day to make yourself more worthy of that great Sacrament. Think of it! To receive your God and Saviour into your soul, and to be united with Him, as the word communion means! The early Christians used to go to Communion very frequently. The Church requires us to go to Holy Communion at least once a year, but we should not be satisfied with doing merely what is necessary to avoid mortal sin. Do we try to keep away from persons we love? Then if we really love Our Lord should we not desire to receive Him? All good Catholics should go to Holy Communion at least once a week, on Sunday. Persons wishing to lead truly holy lives should go to Communion more often, or even every day.
When we cannot go really to Communion we can merit God's grace by making a spiritual Communion. What is a spiritual Communion? It is an earnest desire to receive Communion. You prepare yourself as if you were really going to Communion; you try to imagine yourself going up, receiving the Blessed Sacrament, and returning to your place. Then you thank God for all His blessings to you as you would have done had you received. This is an act of devotion, and one very pleasing to God, as many holy writers tell us.
I cannot leave this lesson on the Holy Eucharist without telling you something of the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, now so universally practiced and so closely connected with the devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. The Church grants many indulgences, and Our Lord Himself promises many rewards to those who honor the Sacred Heart. But what do we mean by the Sacred Heart? We mean the real natural heart of Our Lord, to which His divinity is united as it is to His whole body. But why do we adore this real, natural heart of Our Lord? We adore it because love is said to be in the heart, and we wish to return Our Lord love, and gratitude for the great love He has shown to us in dying for us, and in instituting the Sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist, by which He can remain with us in His sacred humanity. When Our Lord appeared to Saint Margaret Mary He said: "Behold this Heart, that has loved men so ardently, and is so little loved in return." The first Friday of every month and the whole month of June are dedicated to the Sacred Heart.

A completely different style of ring! This ring was dubbed "unpredictable" for good reason. With 25 stones adorning the outside (a great mix premium quality, best available in diamonds, sapphires, blue topaz, blue zircon, and aquamarine ) no two stones are the same size or shape!
And if you look closely at the inside of the ring, there are 3 additional stones: his birthstone, her birthstone, and a fabulous Ruby heart symbolizing the love between them. Fabulous!!
More blinding than the SUN!!!

Q: Type mismatch: cannot convert from KeyCode to KeyCode So I am having a bit of a strange situation with type mismatching.  General idea is that I am creating a game in which the player will be able to define their own keybinds for moving, buttons etc.
I have started out with a standard key event listener which is then feeding into a key handler
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.input.KeyEvent;

// Key event single key
    scene.addEventFilter(KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED, new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
        public void handle(KeyEvent key) {
                btnHand.keyPressHandler(key.getCode());
        }
    });

import javafx.scene.input.KeyCode;

public void keyPressHandler(KeyCode keyCode) {
    switch (keyCode) {
    case GameOptions.getMoveNorth():    //method call           break;
    case GameOptions.getMoveSouth():    //method call           break;
    case GameOptions.getMoveWest():     //method call           break;
    case GameOptions.getMoveEast():     //method call           break;

    default:    System.out.println("key : " + keyCode + " was pressed, yet has no handler");
    }
}

I plan to store the keybindings in an options class called GameOptions which is holding my keybindings as such and using getters to pull the key info I need
import javafx.scene.input.KeyCode;

public class GameOptions {

private static KeyCode moveNorth;
private static KeyCode moveEast;
private static KeyCode moveSouth;
private static KeyCode moveWest;

public GameOptions() {}

    public static KeyCode getMoveNorth() {
        return moveNorth;
    }

But I am now at a loss as to why it is causing a type mismatch as to my eyes they are the same type.  Pointers to lead me in the right direction would be nice

A: Note: I'm sure this answer identifies a problem but I'm not at all convinced it's the source of the precise error messages you identify, which don't really match the error you'd receive for non-constant case labels. Will update with clarification, will leave this here for now as-is.
While the errors are rather cryptic the fundamental problem is that case only accepts constant expressions and enum constant names, method calls and variables are not acceptable. Working within your current architecture the most straightforward way is to simply use an if instead, as there is no reason you must use a switch:
public void keyPressHandler(KeyCode keyCode) {
    if (keyCode == GameOptions.getMoveNorth()) {
        ...
    } else if (keyCode == GameOptions.getMoveSouth()) {
        ...
    } else if (keyCode == GameOptions.getMoveWest()) {
        ...
    } else if (keyCode == GameOptions.getMoveEast()) {
        ...
    } else {
        System.out.println("key : " + keyCode + " was pressed, yet has no handler");
    }
}

For completeness, if you did insist on using a switch there, the labels would have to be constants, so your only option would be to move the key code translation elsewhere, e.g. (the choice to make Action a member of GameOptions is just to keep this example simple):
class GameOptions {

    enum Action {
        MOVE_NORTH,
        MOVE_SOUTH,
        MOVE_WEST,
        MOVE_EAST
    };

    // returns null if unmapped, or you could use an Action.NO_ACTION or something.
    public static Action getActionFromKeyCode (KeyCode keyCode) {
        ...
    }

}

And then your handler becomes:
public void keyPressHandler(KeyCode keyCode) {
    switch (GameOptions.getActionFromKeyCode(keyCode)) {
    case GameOptions.Action.MOVE_NORTH: ...; break;
    case GameOptions.Action.MOVE_SOUTH: ...; break;
    case GameOptions.Action.MOVE_WEST: ...; break;
    case GameOptions.Action.MOVE_EAST: ...; break;
    default: ...; break;
    }
}

However, that approach has some caveats:

*

*It implies that GameOptions must be aware of all key bindings, else the keyPressHandler becomes more complicated.

*It moves some of your UI logic out of your UI and into GameOptions, which is architecturally weird in some situations, and can be problematic in more complex scenarios.

*It doesn't gain you much over the if approach, it's a lot more verbose for no real benefit here. And anyways you still have the matter of implementing that same big if in getActionFromKeyCode, same as your original issue, just moved to a different place.

Not the best option for you but wanted to put it out there as a concept to think about. I'd just go with the if.

A: Using a combination of what I had before and using the idea of mapping I have come to a nice conclusion.  It will do for the moment I feel, it may fall over in the future...who knows....onto the next new thing!!
public void keyPressHandler(KeyCode keyCode) {

    HashMap<KeyCode, String> kmap = new HashMap<KeyCode, String>();

    kmap.put(GameOptions.getMoveNorth(), "north");
    kmap.put(GameOptions.getMoveEast(), "east");
    kmap.put(GameOptions.getMoveSouth(), "south");
    kmap.put(GameOptions.getMoveWest(), "west");

    String kact = kmap.get(keyCode);

    if (kact == null) {
        kact = "";
    }

    switch(kact) {
    case "north":
        northButtonHandler();
        break;
    case "east":
        eastButtonHandler();
        break;
    case "south":
        southButtonHandler();
        break;
    case "west":
        westButtonHandler();
        break;
    default:
        System.out.println("key : " + keyCode + " has been pressed, yet has no binding");
    }
}

If you run your own business and also handle your company's HR tasks, you could be doing yourself, and your company, a grave disservice.
That's because, as a business manager, you can't step back and take a measured view of events and processes.
In fact, the chances are that you are actually demotivating your workforce, albeit unwittingly.
As a manager, you're almost certainly working longer hours than the majority of your workforce. You'll be subject to stresses and strains that they know nothing about, and it's only natural that your daily state of mind will be having some sort of impact on those you work with.
Handling HR topics, on top of the rest of your workload, can be a step too far. That's one of the reasons why so many smaller businesses are actively seeking out HR outsourcing services. Companies such as www.mushroombiz.co.uk/homepage/services/hr/ can take care of the details of your HR obligations, leaving you free to concentrate on running your business, which is, after all, what you do best.
Micromanaging your staff will never have the desired effect. According to an article in Forbes, the majority of workers have the necessary motivation to perform their work tasks efficiently and intelligently. However, too much interference, particularly when it includes negativity, can seriously demotivate even the hardest of workers.
Rather than introduce new 'rules' every time you see something you don't like, whether it's to do with the way your staff dress, or the way they perform their duties, it's far better to have a quiet word with the relevant person – with the emphasis on 'quiet'. Nobody likes a public dressing down, so treat your workers like adults, and respect their dignity.
Sometimes, a manager is so wrapped up in controlling every aspect of their business that their own mental health suffers. When this occurs, it's reasonable to assume that other members of your team are also affected, so it means you need to take fast action.
It's not an admission of failure to say that you need help. You can't possibly help your staff if you're not in a good state of mind yourself, so put yourself first for once, and adopt a positive mindset. You, and your staff, will be glad that you did!

With the 2015 Atlantic hurricane season set to start on June 1st, Colorado State University researchers have forecast that hurricane activity will be less active than normal, with seven named storms, three hurricanes, and one major hurricane. Despite this prediction, you should not let your guard down.
Although National Hurricane Preparedness Week is officially May 24 - 30 this year; we encourage you to take steps now to ensure that your home is prepared! Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind before, during and after a storm.
Inspect roof drains and piping - floor drains and sump-pump; are they clear of debris and fully functional?


God, why am I here?
Jesus said: "I have come that you may have life, and have it to the full." Compare these words of Jesus to typical statements found in suicide notes left by teenagers: "I hate my life!" or "My life has no meaning." Obviously there is a HUGE disconnect.
This disconnect between so many of us and God is that we have either deliberately chosen to turn our backs on Him or been blinded to Him through the deliberate actions of others. The godless leaders of society try daily (often successfully) to drive in a bigger and bigger wedge between you and God. Prayer is taken out of schools with irrefutable and tragic consequences. References to God are removed from any and every public arena at every opportunity. Things once considered depraved less than forty years ago are now taught in the classroom as not only being acceptable but actively promoted to young, impressionable children. Even though the laws of the land are based upon the Ten Commandments, the Commandments themselves cannot be displayed in a courtroom! Any pretension to having faith in God is dismissed in the halls of academia as verging on lunacy. Atheism is presented through the state-sponsored, faith-based hypothesis of evolution. Is it any wonder the young people of this nation are so despairing, even of life itself.
Of all the questions submitted for this campaign, "God, why am I here?" has to be of the question of greatest significance. The individuals who have contributed financial support to Bus Stop Bible Studies and bring these messages to you do so, not because they have a hidden agenda or a "good deeds mentality", it is quite simply because they have found the answer to this "Life Question" and, realizing the enormity and extravagance of the pearl of great price they have found, want to share it with others.
If we earnestly seek the God, He "...is not far from each one of us."
"...whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
Not only will you find out the answer to "Why am I here?", you will also become a spring that will help fill others and guide them to the pearl of great price.
Not everyone who calls themselves a Christian truly is. But, those who have sincerely committed themselves to Jesus Christ, what Jesus describes as being born again, have a confidence that is sometimes perceived as bordering on arrogance. But this confidence does not come from some mindless exercise or other-worldly experience, rather it comes form a one-on-one encounter with the almighty, all-loving, Creator of the universe - and you. Once you have experienced God's Love, forgiveness and peace you will have a similar confidence that can never be taken away. God made you for the purpose of knowing you and loving you. Do you believe this? As it is stated in the Westminster Cathecism, "Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever."
If you want the answer to, "God, why am I here?" shout it out to God at the top of your voice and from the bottom of your heart. He will surely answer.
Don't you listen to me, God?
Fall in love every day!
God, how can I reach you?
God, is my soul eternal?
How free is my will?
Is rejecting God a sin?
Must I go to church?
What is God's love like?

Q: WP CLI Not Displaying All Tables I am trying to do some simple queries to figure out how a plugin is saving its information. Basically I was getting a really annoying error, and figured out the custom template content was missing on my local. Every other setting/content was transferred over into the database export from the live site. However, for some reason wp db tables is only showing a few of the tables. I checked wp-config, and checked the database through my SQL GUI. Did wp db check and it listed all the tables. However, wp db tables simply is giving wrong information, and any wp db search is not searching the tables that it for some reason is not display. Am I missing something?

323 Properties of Cement Pastes with Different Particle Size Fractions of Metakaolin
Authors: M. Boháč, R. Novotný, F. Frajkorová, R. S. Yadav, T. Opravil, M. Palou
Properties of Portland cement mixtures with various fractions of metakaolin were studied. 10% of Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R was replaced by different fractions of high reactivity metakaolin with defined chemical and mineralogical properties. Various fractions of metakaolin were prepared by jet mill classifying system. There is a clear trend between fineness of metakaolin and hydration heat development. Due to metakaolin presence in mixtures the compressive strength development of mortars is rather slower for coarser fractions but 28-day flexural strengths are improved for all fractions of metakaoline used in mixtures compared to reference sample of pure Portland cement. Yield point, plastic viscosity and adhesion of fresh pastes are considerably influenced by fineness of metakaolin used in cement pastes.
Keywords: Calorimetry, cement, metakaolin fineness, rheology, strength.
322 Effect of Addition the Dune Sand Powder on Development of Compressive Strength and Hydration of Cement Pastes
Authors: S. Guettala, B. Mezghiche
In this paper, the effect of addition the dune sand powder (DSP) on development of compressive strength and hydration of cement pastes was investigated as a function of water/binder ratio, was varied, on the one hand, the percentage of DSP and on the other, the fineness of DSP. In order to understand better the pozzolanic effect of dune sand powder in cement pastes, we followed the mixtures hydration (50% Pure Lime + 50% DSP) by X-ray diffraction. These mixtures the pastes present a hydraulic setting which is due to the formation of a C-S-H phase (calcium silicate hydrate). The latter is semi-crystallized. This study is a simplified approach to that of the mixtures (80% ordinary Portland cement + 20% DSP), in which the main reaction is the fixing of the lime coming from the cement hydration in the presence of DSP, to form calcium silicate hydrate semi-crystallized of second generation. The results proved that up to (20% DSP) as Portland cement replacement could be used with a fineness of 4000 cm²/g without affecting adversely the compressive strength. After 28 days, the compressive strength at 5, 10 and 15% DSP is superior to Portland cement, with an optimum effect for a percentage of the order of 5% to 10% irrespective of the w/b ratio and fineness of DSP.

321 Influence of Gum Acacia Karroo on Some Mechanical Properties of Cement Mortars and Concrete
Authors: Rose Mbugua, Ramadhan Wanjala, Julius Ndambuki
Natural admixtures provide concrete with enhanced properties but their processing end up making them very expensive resulting in increase to cost of concrete. In this study the effect of Gum from Acacia Karroo (GAK) as set-retarding admixture in cement pastes was studied. The possibility of using GAK as water reducing admixture both in cement mortar concrete was also investigated. Cement pastes with different dosages of GAK were prepared to measure the setting time using different dosages. Compressive strength of cement mortars with 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9% weight of cement and w/c ratio of 0.5 were compared to those with water cement (w/c) ratio of 0.44 but same dosage of GAK. Concrete samples were prepared using higher dosages of GAK (1, 2 and 3% wt of cement) and a water bidder (w/b) of 0.61 were compared to those with the same GAK dosage but with reduced w/b ratio. There was increase in compressive strength of 9.3% at 28 days for cement mortar samples with 0.9% dosage of GAK and reduced w/c ratio.
Keywords: Compressive strength, Gum Acacia Karroo, retarding admixture, setting time, water-reducing admixture.
320 Effect of Fine-Ground Ceramic Admixture on Early Age Properties of Cement Paste
Authors: Z. Pavlík, M. Pavlíková, P. Volfová, M. Keppert, R. Černý
Properties of cement pastes with fine-ground ceramics used as an alternative binder replacing Portland cement up to 20% of its mass are investigated. At first, the particle size distribution of cement and fine-ground ceramics is measured using laser analyser. Then, the material properties are studied in the early hardening period up to 28 days. The hydration process of studied materials is monitored by electrical conductivity measurement using TDR sensors. The changes of materials- structures within the hardening are observed using pore size distribution measurement. The compressive strength measurements are done as well. Experimental results show that the replacement of Portland cement by fine-ground ceramics in the amount of up to 20% by mass is acceptable solution from the mechanical point of view. One can also assume similar physical properties of designed materials to the reference material with only Portland cement as binder.
Keywords: Fine-ground ceramics, cement pastes, early age properties, mechanical properties, pore size distribution, electrical conductivity measurement.
319 Mineral Activator and Physical Characteristics of Slag Cement at Anhydrous and Hydrated States
Authors: A. Naceri, M. S. Bouglada, P. Grosseau
The setting agent Ca(OH)2 for activation of slag cement is used in the proportions of 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% by various methods (substitution and addition by mass of slag cement). The physical properties of slag cement activated by the calcium hydroxide at anhydrous and hydrated states (fineness, particle size distribution, consistency of the cement pastes and setting times) were studied. The activation method by the mineral activator of slag cement (latent hydraulicity) accelerates the hydration process and reduces the setting times of the cement activated.
Keywords: Mineral activator, slag cement, Anhydrous and hydrated states, physical characteristics.
318 Characterization of Cement Mortar Based on Fine Quartz
Authors: K. Arroudj, M. Lanez, M. N. Oudjit
The introduction of siliceous mineral additions in cement production allows, in addition to the ecological and economic gain, improvement of concrete performance. This improvement is mainly due to the fixing of Portlandite, released during the hydration of cement, by fine siliceous, forming denser calcium silicate hydrates and therefore a more compact cementitious matrix. This research is part of the valuation of the Dune Sand (DS) in the cement industry in Algeria. The high silica content of DS motivated us to study its effect, at ground state, on the properties of mortars in fresh and hardened state. For this purpose, cement pastes and mortars based on ground dune sand (fine quartz) has been analyzed with a replacement to cement of 15%, 20% and 25%. This substitution has reduced the amount of heat of hydration and avoids any risk of initial cracking. In addition, the grinding of the dune sand provides amorphous thin populations adsorbed at the surface of the crystal particles of quartz. Which gives to ground quartz pozzolanic character. This character results an improvement of mechanical strength of mortar (66 MPa in the presence of 25% of ground quartz).
Keywords: Mineralogical structure, Pozzolanic reactivity, quartz, mechanical strength.
317 Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Cement Manufactured with Artificial Pozzolan (Waste Brick)
Authors: A. Naceri, M. Chikouche Hamina, P. Grosseau
The effect of artificial pozzolan (waste brick) on the physico-chemical properties of cement manufactured was investigated. The waste brick is generated by the manufacture of bricks. It was used in the proportions of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by mass of cement to study its effect on the physico-chemical properties of cement incorporating artificial pozzolan. The physicochemical properties of cement at anhydrous state and the hydrated state (chemical composition, specific weight, fineness, consistency of the cement paste and setting times) were studied. The experimental results obtained show that the quantity of pozzolanic admixture (waste brick) of cement manufactured is the principal parameter who influences on the variation of the physico-chemical properties of the cement tested.
Keywords: Artificial pozzolan, waste brick, cement, physicochemicalcharacteristics.
316 Combination of Standard Secondary Raw Materials and New Production Waste Materials in Green Concrete Technology
Authors: M. Tazky, R. Hela, P. Novosad, L. Osuska
This paper deals with the possibility of safe incorporation fluidised bed combustion fly ash (waste material) into cement matrix together with next commonly used secondary raw material, which is high-temperature fly ash. Both of these materials have a very high pozzolanic ability, and the right combination could bring important improvements in both the physico-mechanical properties and the better durability of a cement composite. This paper tries to determine the correct methodology for designing green concrete by using modern methods measuring rheology of fresh concrete and following hydration processes. The use of fluidised bed combustion fly ash in cement composite production as an admixture is not currently common, but there are some real possibilities for its potential. The most striking negative aspect is its chemical composition which supports the development of new product formation, influencing the durability of the composite. Another disadvantage is the morphology of grains, which have a negative effect on consistency. This raises the question of how this waste can be used in concrete production to emphasize its positive properties and eliminate negatives. The focal point of the experiment carried out on cement pastes was particularly on the progress of hydration processes, aiming for the possible acceleration of pozzolanic reactions of both types of fly ash.
Keywords: High-temperature fly ash, fluidised bed combustion fly ash, pozzolanic, CaO (calcium oxide), rheology.
315 Effect of the Portland-Limestone Cement Grades on the Compressive Strength of Hollow Sandcrete Blocks
Authors: Kazeem K. Adewole, Gbenga. M. Ayininula, Wasiu O. Ajagbe, Olabisi Akinade
The commercial sandcrete block makers in Nigeria use the same cement-sand mix ratio for sandcrete blocks production irrespective of the cement grade. Investigation revealed that the compressive strengths of hollow sandcrete blocks produced with Portland-limestone cement grade 42.5 are higher than the sandcrete blocks produced with cement grade 32.5. The use of stronger sandcrete blocks produced with cement grade 42.5 will ensure the construction of stronger buildings and other sandcrete blocks-based infrastructures and reduce the incessant failure of building and other sandcrete blocks-based infrastructures in Nigeria at no additional cost as both cement grades cost the same amount in Nigeria. It is recommended that the Standards Organisation of Nigeria should create grassroots awareness on the different cement grades in Nigeria and specify that Portland-limestone cement grade 42.5 be used for sandcrete blocks production.

314 The Impact of Alumina Cement on Properties of Portland Cement Slurries and Mortars
Authors: Krzysztof Zieliński, Dariusz Kierzek
The addition of a small amount of alumina cement to Portland cement results in immediate setting, a rapid increase in the compressive strength and a clear increase of the adhesion to concrete substrate. This phenomenon is used, among others, for the production of liquid floor self-levelling compounds. Alumina cement is several times more expensive than Portland cement and is a component having a significant impact on prices of products manufactured with its use. For the production of liquid floor self-levelling compounds, low-alumina cement containing approximately 40% Al2O3 is normally used. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of Portland cement with the addition of alumina cement on the basic physical and mechanical properties of cement slurries and mortars. CEM I 42.5R and three types of alumina cement containing 40%, 50% and 70% of Al2O3 were used for the tests. Mixes containing 4%, 6%, 8%, 10% and 12% of different varieties of alumina cement were prepared; for which, the time of initial and final setting, compressive and flexural strength and adhesion to concrete substrate were determined. The analysis of the obtained test results showed that a similar immediate setting effect and clearly better adhesion strength can be obtained using the addition of 6% of high-alumina cement than 12% of low-alumina cement. As the prices of these cements are similar, this can give significant financial savings in the production of liquid floor self-levelling compounds.
Keywords: Alumina cement, immediate setting, compression strength, adhesion to substrate.
313 Soil Improvement using Cement Dust Mixture
Authors: Mohie Eldin Mohamed Afifiy Elmashad
Day by day technology increases and problems associated with this technology also increase. Several researches were carried out to investigate the deployment of such material safely in geotechnical engineering in particular and civil engineering in general. However, different types of waste material have such as cement duct, fly ash and slag been proven to be suitable in several applications. In this research cement dust mixed with different percentages of sand will be used in some civil engineering application as will be explained later in this paper throughout filed and laboratory test. The used mixer (waste material with sand) prove high performance, durability to environmental condition, low cost and high benefits. At higher cement dust ratio, small cement ratio is valuable for compressive strength and permeability. Also at small cement dust ratio higher cement ratio is valuable for compressive strength.

312 Utilization of Glycerol Derived from Jatropha-s Biodiesel Production as a Cement Grinding Aid
Authors: O. Farobie, S S. Achmadi, L K. Darusman
Biodiesel production results in glycerol production as the main by-product in biodiesel industry.One of the utilizations of glycerol obtained from biodiesel production is as a cement grinding aid (CGA). Results showed that crude glycerol content was 40.19% whereas pure glycerol content was 82.15%. BSS value of the cement with CGA supplementation was higher than that of nonsupplemented cement (blank) indicating that CGA-supplemented cement had higher fineness than the non-supplemented one. It was also found that pure glycerol 95% and TEA 5% at 80ºC was the optimum CGA used to result in finest cement with BSS value of 4.836 cm2/g. Residue test showed that the smallest percent residue value (0.11%) was obtained in cement with supplementation of pure glycerol 95% and TEA 5%. Results of residue test confirmed those of BSS test showing that cement with supplementation of pure glycerol 95% and TEA 5% had the finest particle size.

311 Effect of Nigerian Portland-Limestone Cement Grades on Concrete Compressive Strength
Authors: Kazeem K. Adewole, Festus. A. Olutoge, Hamzat Habib
In this paper, the effect of grades 32.4 and 42.5 Portland-limestone cements generally used for concrete production in Nigeria on concrete compressive strength is investigated. Investigation revealed that the compressive strength of concrete produced with Portland-limestone cement grade 42.5 is generally higher than that produced with cement grade 32.5. The percentage difference between the compressive strengths of the concrete cubes produced with Portland-limestone cement grades 42.5 and 32.5 is inversely proportional to the richness of the concrete with the highest and the least percentage difference associated with the 1:2:4 and 1:1:2 mix ratios respectively. It is recommended that cement grade 42.5 be preferred for construction in Nigeria as this will lead to the construction of stronger concrete structures, which will reduce the incidence of failure of building and other concrete structures at no additional cost since the cost of both cement grades are the same.

309 Viability of Eggshells Ash Affecting the Setting Time of Cement
Authors: Fazeera Ujin, Kamran Shavarebi Ali, Zarina Yasmin Hanur Harith
This research paper reports on the feasibility and viability of eggshells ash and its effects on the water content and setting time of cement. An experiment was carried out to determine the quantity of water required in order to follow standard cement paste of normal consistency in accordance with MS EN 196-3:2007. The eggshells ash passing the 90µm sieve was used in the investigation. Eggshells ash with percentage of 0%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% were constituted to replace the cement. Chemical properties of both eggshells ash and cement are compared. From the results obtained, both eggshells ash and cement have the same chemical composition and primary composition which is the calcium compounds. Results from the setting time show that by adding the eggshells ash to the cement, the setting time of the cement decreases. In short, the higher amount of eggshells ash, the faster the rate of setting and apply to all percentage of eggshells ash that were used in this investigation. Both initial and final setting times fulfill the setting time requirements by Malaysian Standard. Hence, it is suggested that eggshells ash can be used as an admixture in concrete mix.

307 Numerical Simulation of CNT Incorporated Cement
Authors: B. S. Sindu, Saptarshi Sasmal, Smitha Gopinath
Cement, the most widely used construction material is very brittle and characterized by low tensile strength and strain capacity. Macro to nano fibers are added to cement to provide tensile strength and ductility to it. Carbon Nanotube (CNT), one of the nanofibers, has proven to be a promising reinforcing material in the cement composites because of its outstanding mechanical properties and its ability to close cracks at the nano level. The experimental investigations for CNT reinforced cement is costly, time consuming and involves huge number of trials. Mathematical modeling of CNT reinforced cement can be done effectively and efficiently to arrive at the mechanical properties and to reduce the number of trials in the experiments. Hence, an attempt is made to numerically study the effective mechanical properties of CNT reinforced cement numerically using Representative Volume Element (RVE) method. The enhancement in its mechanical properties for different percentage of CNTs is studied in detail.

305 Supplementary Cementitious Materials as Sustainable Partial Replacement for Cement in the Building Industry
Authors: Nwakaego C. Onyenokporo
Cement is the most extensively used construction material due to its strength and versatility of use. However, the production of Portland cement has become unsustainable because of high energy usage, reduction of natural non-renewable resources and emissions of greenhouse gases. Production of cement contributes to anthropogenic greenhouse gases emissions annually. The growing concerns for the environment resulting from this constant and excessive use of cement has therefore raised the need for more green materials and technology. The use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is considered as one of the many alternatives suited to address this issue and serve as a sustainable partial replacement for cement in construction. This paper will examine the reuse of these waste materials to partially replace Portland cement. It provides a critical review of literature analysing various supplementary cementitious materials which are applicable in the building industry as either partial replacement for cement or aggregates. These materials have been grouped based on source into industrial wastes, domestic/general wastes, and agricultural wastes. The reuse of these waste materials could potentially reduce the negative effects of cement production and reduce landfills which constitute an environmental nuisance. This paper seeks to inform building industry professionals and researchers in the field on the applicability of these waste materials in construction.

304 A Multiple Linear Regression Model to Predict the Price of Cement in Nigeria
Authors: Kenneth M. Oba
This study investigated factors affecting the price of cement in Nigeria, and developed a mathematical model that can predict future cement prices. Cement is key in the Nigerian construction industry. The changes in price caused by certain factors could affect economic and infrastructural development; hence there is need for proper proactive planning. Secondary data were collected from published information on cement between 2014 and 2019. In addition, questionnaires were sent to some domestic cement retailers in Port Harcourt in Nigeria, to obtain the actual prices of cement between the same periods. The study revealed that the most critical factors affecting the price of cement in Nigeria are inflation rate, population growth rate, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate. With the use of data from United Nations, International Monetary Fund, and Central Bank of Nigeria databases, amongst others, a Multiple Linear Regression model was formulated. The model was used to predict the price of cement for 2020-2025. The model was then tested with 95% confidence level, using a two-tailed t-test and an F-test, resulting in an R2 of 0.8428 and R2 (adj.) of 0.6069. The results of the tests and the correlation factors confirm the model to be fit and adequate. This study will equip researchers and stakeholders in the construction industry with information for planning, monitoring, and management of present and future construction projects that involve the use of cement.

303 Identification of Nonlinear Predictor and Simulator Models of a Cement Rotary Kiln by Locally Linear Neuro-Fuzzy Technique
Authors: Masoud Sadeghian, Alireza Fatehi
One of the most important parts of a cement factory is the cement rotary kiln which plays a key role in quality and quantity of produced cement. In this part, the physical exertion and bilateral movement of air and materials, together with chemical reactions take place. Thus, this system has immensely complex and nonlinear dynamic equations. These equations have not worked out yet. Only in exceptional case; however, a large number of the involved parameter were crossed out and an approximation model was presented instead. This issue caused many problems for designing a cement rotary kiln controller. In this paper, we presented nonlinear predictor and simulator models for a real cement rotary kiln by using nonlinear identification technique on the Locally Linear Neuro- Fuzzy (LLNF) model. For the first time, a simulator model as well as a predictor one with a precise fifteen minute prediction horizon for a cement rotary kiln is presented. These models are trained by LOLIMOT algorithm which is an incremental tree-structure algorithm. At the end, the characteristics of these models are expressed. Furthermore, we presented the pros and cons of these models. The data collected from White Saveh Cement Company is used for modeling.

302 Effect of Nanofibers on the Behavior of Cement Mortar and Concrete
Authors: Mostafa Osman, Ata El-kareim Shoeib
The main objective of this paper is study the influence of carbon nano-tubes fibers and nano silica fibers on the characteristic compressive strength and flexural strength on concrete and cement mortar. Twelve tested specimens were tested with square section its dimensions (4040 160) mm, divided into four groups. The first and second group studied the effect of carbon nano-tubes (CNTs) fibers with different percentage equal to 0.0, 0.11%, 0.22%, and 0.33% by weight of cement and effect of nano-silica (nS) fibers with different percentages equal to 0.0, 1.0%, 2.0%, and 3.0% by weight of cement on the cement mortar. The third and fourth groups studied the effect of CNTs fiber with different percentage equal to 0.0%, 0.11%, and 0.22% by weight of cement, and effect of nS fibers with different percentages were equal to 0.0%, 1.0%, and 2.0% by weight of cement on the concrete. The compressive strength and flexural strength at 7, 28, and 90 days is determined. From analysis of tested results concluded that the nano-fibers is more effective when used with cement mortar more than used with concrete because of increasing the surface area, decreasing the pore and the collection of nano-fibers. And also by adding nano-fibers the improvement of flexural strength of concrete and cement mortar is more than improvement of compressive strength.

301 Enhancement of Cement Mortar Mechanical Properties with Replacement of Seashell Powder
Many synthetic additives have been using for improve cement mortar and concrete characteristics, but natural additive is a friendly environment option. The quantity of (2% and 4%) seashell powder has been replaced in cement mortar, and compared with plain cement mortar in early age of 7 days. The strain gauges have been installed on beams and cube, for monitoring fluctuation of flexural and compressive strength. Main objective of this paper is to study effect of linear static force on flexural and compressive strength of modified cement mortar. The results have been indicated that the replacement of appropriate proportion of seashell powder enhances cement mortar mechanical properties. The replacement of 2% seashell causes improvement of deflection, time to failure and maximum load to failure on concrete beam and cube, the same occurs for compressive modulus elasticity. Increase replacement of seashell to 4% reduces all flexural strength, compressive strength and strain of cement mortar.
Keywords: Compressive strength, flexural strength, compressive modulus elasticity, time to failure, deflection.
300 Mechanical Properties of Cement Slurry by Partially Substitution of Industry Waste Natural Pozzolans
Authors: R. Ziaie Moayed, S. P. Emadoleslami Oskoei, S. D. Beladi Mousavi, A. Taleb Beydokhti
There have been many reports of the destructive effects of cement on the environment in recent years. In the present research, it has been attempted to reduce the destructive effects of cement by replacing silica fume as adhesive materials instead of cement. The present study has attempted to improve the mechanical properties of cement slurry by using waste material from a glass production factory, located in Qazvin city of Iran, in which accumulation volume has become an environmental threat. The chemical analysis of the waste material indicates that this material contains about 94% of SiO2 and AL2O3 and has a close structure to silica fume. Also, the particle grain size test was performed on the mentioned waste. Then, the unconfined compressive strength test of the slurry was performed by preparing a mixture of water and adhesives with different percentages of cement and silica fume. The water to an adhesive ratio of this mixture is 1:3, and the curing process last 28 days. It was found that the sample had an unconfined compressive strength of about 300 kg/cm2 in a mixture with equal proportions of cement and silica fume. Besides, the sample had a brittle fracture in the slurry sample made of pure cement, however, the fracture in cement-silica fume slurry mixture is flexible and the structure of the specimen remains coherent after fracture. Therefore, considering the flexibility that is achieved by replacing this waste, it can be used to stabilize soils with cracking potential.

Authors: Z. Abdollahnejad, M. Kheradmand, F. Pacheco-Torgal
The use of bio-based admixtures on construction materials is a recent trend that is gaining momentum. However, to our knowledge, no studies have been reported concerning the use of biopolymers on hybrid cement based mortars. This paper reports experimental results regarding the study of the influence of mix design of 43 hybrid cement mortars containing two different biopolymers on its mechanical performance. The results show that the use of the biopolymer carrageenan is much more effective than the biopolymer xanthan concerning the increase in compressive strength. An optimum biopolymer content was found.

298 Effect of Bentonite on the Rheological Behavior of Cement Grout in Presence of Superplasticizer
Authors: K. Benyounes, A. Benmounah
Cement-based grouts has been used successfully to repair cracks in many concrete structures such as bridges, tunnels, buildings and to consolidate soils or rock foundations. In the present study the rheological characterization of cement grout with water/binder ratio (W/B) is fixed at 0.5. The effect of the replacement of cement by bentonite (2 to 10% wt) in presence of superplasticizer (0.5% wt) was investigated. Several rheological tests were carried out by using controlled-stress rheometer equipped with vane geometry in temperature of 20°C. To highlight the influence of bentonite and superplasticizer on the rheological behavior of grout cement, various flow tests in a range of shear rate from 0 to 200 s-1 were observed. Cement grout showed a non-Newtonian viscosity behavior at all concentrations of bentonite. Three parameter model Herschel- Bulkley was chosen for fitting of experimental data. Based on the values of correlation coefficients of the estimated parameters, The Herschel-Bulkley law model well described the rheological behavior of the grouts. Test results showed that the dosage of bentonite increases the viscosity and yield stress of the system and introduces more thixotropy. While the addition of both bentonite and superplasticizer with cement grout improve significantly the fluidity and reduced the yield stress due to the action of dispersion of SP.
Keywords: Cement grout, bentonite, superplasticizer, viscosity, yield stress.
297 Simulation of a Sustainable Cement Supply Chain; Proposal Model Review
Authors: Tarek Elhasia, Bernd Noche, Lima Zhao
In recent years, sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) has been widely researched in academic domain. However, due to the traditional operational role and the complexity of supply chain management in the cement industry, a relatively small amount of research has been conducted on cement supply chain simulation integrated with sustainability criteria. This paper analyses the cement supply chain operations using the Push-Pull supply chain frameworks, the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology; and proposal integration approach, proposes three supply chain scenarios based on Make-To-Stock (MTS), Pack-To-Order (PTO) and Grind- To-Order (GTO) strategies. A Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) model of SSCM is constructed using Arena software to implement the three-target scenarios. We conclude with the simulation results that (GTO) is the optimal supply chain strategy that demonstrates the best economic, ecological and social performance in the cement industry.
Keywords: Cement industry, simulation, supply chain management (SCM), sustainability.
296 Role of Dispersion of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes on Compressive Strength of Cement Paste
Authors: Jyoti Bharj, Sarabjit Singh, Subhash Chander, Rabinder Singh
The outstanding mechanical properties of Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have generated great interest for their potential as reinforcements in high performance cementitious composites. The main challenge in research is the proper dispersion of carbon nanotubes in the cement matrix. The present work discusses the role of dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the compressive strength characteristics of hydrated Portland IS 1489 cement paste. Cement-MWCNT composites with different mixing techniques were prepared by adding 0.2% (by weight) of MWCNTs to Portland IS 1489 cement. Rectangle specimens of size approximately 40mm × 40mm ×160mm were prepared and curing of samples was done for 7, 14, 28 and 35days. An appreciable increase in compressive strength with both techniques; mixture of MWCNTs with cement in powder form and mixture of MWCNTs with cement in hydrated form 7 to 28 days of curing time for all the samples was observed.
Keywords: Carbon Nanotubes, Portland Cement, Composite, Compressive Strength.
295 Effect on Surface Temperature Reduction of Asphalt Pavements with Cement–Based Materials Containing Ceramic Waste Powder
Authors: H. Higashiyama, M. Sano, F. Nakanishi, M. Sugiyama, O. Takahashi, S. Tsukuma
The heat island phenomenon becomes one of the environmental problems. As countermeasures in the field of road engineering, cool pavements such as water retaining pavements and solar radiation reflective pavements have been developed to reduce the surface temperature of asphalt pavements in the hot summer climate in Japan. The authors have studied on the water retaining pavements with cement–based grouting materials. The cement–based grouting materials consist of cement, ceramic waste powder, and natural zeolite. The ceramic waste powder is collected through the recycling process of electric porcelain insulators. In this study, mixing ratio between the ceramic waste powder and the natural zeolite and a type of cement for the cement–based grouting materials is investigated to measure the surface temperature of asphalt pavements in the outdoor. All of the developed cement–based grouting materials were confirmed to effectively reduce the surface temperature of the asphalt pavements. Especially, the cement–based grouting material using the ultra–rapid hardening cement with the mixing ratio of 0.7:0.3 between the ceramic waste powder and the natural zeolite reduced mostly the surface temperature by 20 °C and more.
Keywords: Ceramic waste powder, natural zeolite, road surface temperature, water retaining pavements.
294 Resistance to Sulfuric Acid Attacks of Self-Consolidating Concrete: Effect Metakaolin and Various Cements Types
Authors: Kianoosh Samimi, Farhad Estakhr, Mahdi Mahdikhani, Faramaz Moodi
Due to their fluidity and simplicity of use, self-compacting concretes (SCCs) have undeniable advantages. In recent years, the role of metakaolin as a one of pozzolanic materials in concrete has been considered by researchers. It can modify various properties of concrete, due to high pozzolanic reactions and also makes a denser microstructure. The objective of this paper is to examine the influence of three type of Portland cement and metakaolin on fresh state, compressive strength and sulfuric acid attacks in self- consolidating concrete at early age up to 90 days of curing in lime water. Six concrete mixtures were prepared with three types of different cement as Portland cement type II, Portland Slag Cement (PSC), Pozzolanic Portland Cement (PPC) and 15% substitution of metakaolin by every cement. The results show that the metakaolin admixture increases the viscosity and the demand amount of superplasticizer. According to the compressive strength results, the highest value of compressive strength was achieved for PSC and without any metakaolin at age of 90 days. Conversely, the lowest level of compressive strength at all ages of conservation was obtained for PPC and containing 15% metakaolin. According to this study, the total substitution of PSC and PPC by Portland cement type II is beneficial to the increasing in the chemical resistance of the SCC with respect to the sulfuric acid attack. On the other hand, this increase is more noticeable by the use of 15% of metakaolin. Therefore, it can be concluded that metakaolin has a positive effect on the chemical resistance of SCC containing of Portland cement type II, PSC, and PPC.
Keywords: SCC, metakaolin, cement type, durability, compressive strength, sulfuric acid attacks.

Arwarbukarl Cultural Resource Association (ACRA) has developed a program called Miromaa, which means "saved" in the Awabakal language.
General Manager Daryn McKenny and Program Manager Dianna Newman travelled up to Cardwell over the weekend, to man a stall at the Girringun Cultural Festival.
"We've found ways of being able to use technology to empower our people to revive, maintain, preserve and disseminate our traditional languages," Daryn says.
"Normally that's in the domain of academics like linguists. To be here at this festival where we have an awful lot of our people hanging around, traditional owners, community people, people from language centres all here, it's a great opportunity to expose what we do from little old Newcastle, to other areas of the country."
ACRA's motto is, if you are using Miromaa to record your language via textual information, audio recordings, still photographs or video clips, you have gone an long way to saving your language. "That's why we named it Miromaa," Daryn says. "We don't know of any program even internationally which is aimed directly at community people to use technology for language work."
place for linguists to do their stuff, but we want to be hands on doing the work on a daily basis. And there weren't tools available anywhere."
Daryn came up with the concept and work started from there. Over about three years they are now at the point where Miromaa is being used around Queensland, in New South Wales, and Victoria. "There are over 10 communities in Victoria which are using the program, and we're working with the Victorian State Language Centre to get it out to the whole 38 language areas. It's already being used out in Kalgoorlie by the language centre there."
Daryn says as community development programs disappear, it's becomes harder and harder for indigenous people to actually find work, particularly within the community.
"To be able to look at the core of who we are, our identity, which is made up of our connection with our culture and our language, we need to look what we can do to strengthen that and to be involved with it," Daryn says. "Let's look at using the world's newest culture, technology, to empower us to maintain the world's oldest living culture and oldest living languages."
This comes at an opportune time, when it was highlighted in the media recently that Australia is most at risk of losing its languages. "We have the most endangered and extinct languages in the world," Daryn says. "We need to have an army of our people right now recording our languages, our people are unfortunately passing away younger and younger every year. That knowledge is the heart of our identity."
The program can be used not only to store the language, but to teach it as well - through audio, visual and text.
"The program comes blank. It doesn't have a language in it. You get the program and then it is yours for you to put that language in, because the language is owned by that community."
"Our languages are an oral language, so lets use those senses, our eyes and ears, to learn that," Daryn says.
At the moment, the program doesn't translate. But there are always possibilities down the track.
"We've just received federal funding to develop I think Australia's first ever National Aboriginal Language Website called Our Languages. It'll be a place where we hope all Australians can go to and get to understand and have awareness of languages."

I want to remove List element on Click of Delete Button or toggle the status of task with checkBox,I'm not even seeing the Toast that is present in clickListener of Checkbox and Delete Button,there's just nothing happening, unable to figure out how to do that..

A: Try this in your adapter
holder.checkBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
          if (buttonView.isChecked()) {
                //checked

           Toast.makeText(getContext(),"active checkbox",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                       }
          else
          {
                //not checked
          Toast.makeText(getContext(),"inactive checkbox",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
          }

});

A: Make a Callback interface to solve your problem. I think this the best way what you want to achieve.

*

*OnItemClickListener
public class OnItemClickListener implements View.OnClickListener {
private int position;

private OnItemClickCallback onItemClickCallback;

public OnItemClickListener(int position, OnItemClickCallback
onItemClickCallback) {
this.position = position;
this.onItemClickCallback = onItemClickCallback;
 }

  @Override
  public void onClick(View view) {
  onItemClickCallback.onItemClicked(view, position);
   }

   public interface OnItemClickCallback {
   void onItemClicked(View view, int position);

    }
 }

*In your adapter class
private OnItemClickListener.OnItemClickCallback onItemClickCallback;
public CustomAdapter(@NonNull Context context, ArrayList<listClass> arr,
OnItemClickListener.OnItemClickCallback onItemClickCallback)
{
 super(context,R.layout.detail, arr);
 this.arr = new ArrayList<listClass>(0);
 this.onItemClickCallback = onItemClickCallback;
 this.arr.addAll(arr);

   }

and
     holder.imageButton.setOnClickListener(new OnItemClickListener(position,
     onItemClickCallback));

*In your activity
private OnItemClickListener.OnItemClickCallback
 onItemDeleteClickCallback = new
  OnItemClickListener.OnItemClickCallback() {

@Override
public void onItemClicked(View view, int position) {

    //here you will get delete item pos

}
};

and
 CustomAdapter adapter = new CustomAdapter(MainActivity.this, arr,
 onItemDeleteClickCallback );
                final ListView lv = findViewById(R.id.vishulv);
                lv.setAdapter(adapter);

Hope this will help you.

Q: Interfaces for injectable services in AngularJS I'm new to AngularJS. From what I understand, the whole point of dependency injection is so that the dependency can be easily swapped with a "similar" dependency later and the code still works the same. With "similar", it is usually meant that the dependency implements some kind of an interface.
If I'm writing a controller and my co-worker is writing a service which I'm going to use in my controller, how can I make sure that the service he is making for me has all the things I need? In a traditional OO language, his service would be a class implementing an interface, which would force him to implement certain methods. But how can this be done in angularJS? Would I have to check if the service has properties for all the methods I want and that the __proto__ for all those properties is Function.prototype? And to check the what these methods return, do I have call them with mock objects and then inspect the returned object?
Or is there a better recommended way of doing this?

A: That may be a feature of DI, but the point is to be able to see where your dependencies are coming from explicitly rather than them being staged over some magical global like window.
JavaScript has no implicit way of enforcing interfaces. Your coworker would create either a service or factory that provides an object with functions and properties attached to it. Again, those functions can return whatever the want and you do not have a means to enforce what they return.
If you want to make sure your coworker is returning what you expect, it might be a good idea to write unit tests and use ngMock.
Additionally, attach to prototype and not __proto__.


Flake Style Ice is a snow or flake like consistency. It is great for ice displays such as fish, seafood, sushi, buffets, fruit and cold transport such as meats, fruits and vegetables.
These are also popular in many hospitals especially maternity wards and nursing homes for ice chips. These are high volume ice machines so choose a bin accordingly.

Q: TIKZ/PGF: Is there a way to programmatically get the opacity of node? Is there a way to dynamically get the opacity of a node? I would like to dynamically modify the opacity of the contents based on the node's opacity.
\documentclass[presentation]{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{transparent}

\tikzset{
    invisible/.style={opacity=0,text opacity=0},
    visible on/.style={alt=#1{}{invisible}},
    alt/.code args={<#1>#2#3}{\alt<#1>{\pgfkeysalso{#2}}{\pgfkeysalso{#3}}}}

\begin{document}
  \begin{frame}
    \begin{figure}
      \centering
      \begin{tikzpicture}
          \node[visible on=<1->] (qAA) at (0, 0) {
            %{\transparent{\getOpacity+0.01}\color{green}{Print the opacity})
          };
        \end{scope}
      \end{tikzpicture}
    \end{figure}
  \end{frame}
\end{document}

To give more context and the complete code: I am trying to print a tree layer by layer from the bottom. I want the siblings/cousins to be aligned and have few opaque texts. Hence I have some phantom  nodes (by setting the opacity to 0}.
Looks like \transparent is interfering with the opacity of the TIKZ. Not sure how to sort this out. I am unable to use forest as I plan on customizing the figure with more nodes.
\newcommand{\x}{{\color{blue}\ensuremath{x}}}

A: I wouldn't use transparent text, that can cause more problems than it solves. Instead I would change the text colour by mixing it with the background colour. That's also what beamer does if it uncovers previously dimmed text in overlays.
\documentclass[presentation]{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}

        \node[visible on=<3->] (qAA) at (0, 0) {
                \begin{colormixin}{20!parent.bg}$g = $\end{colormixin}\\$f(\x)$
        };
        \node[visible on=<2->] (qBA) at (-3, -2) {
                \begin{colormixin}{20!parent.bg}$g = $\end{colormixin}\\$f_{0}(\x)$

When Teresa Danks, a teacher in Oklahoma, needed to find a way to stock her third-grade classroom with school supplies for next year, she got a little bit creative. After shopping at garage sales and thrift stores, Danks decided to turn to an unlikely alternative: the kindness of strangers. Danks asked strangers to help her buy school supplies, because they were hard to buy on her own, and education budget cuts in the state have only made things harder.
When Danks spoke with her husband about all the money she was spending on supplies for her classroom, he had an idea that started out as a joke, but quickly turned into a viable option for Danks. She told ABC News:
My husband and I were just talking that morning and he kind of jokingly said, 'You could always make a sign and go on the corner like the panhandlers.' I said, 'You know what? I think I'm going to do that. That's a great idea.'
So, like many people trying to get a message across, Danks bought a poster board, then wrote "Teacher Needs School Supplies! Anything Helps," on it, and went out in public to see what the response would be. She was pleasantly surprised.
At first, Danks was a little nervous to stand at the busy intersection she chose and hold up the sign she had made. But the reactions she got were mostly positive. She said, according to Yahoo!:
It just felt so scary. But it was a wonderful feeling to hear people being so supportive of teachers.
Danks makes an annual salary of around $35,000, and reportedly spends almost $2,000 of her own money every year on her classroom. She collected around $50 in cash when she first "panhandled," and when she posted a photo of herself at the intersection on Facebook, it went viral and caught the attention of a local news station, which then spread her story.
And even though it's a great thing that people were willing to help and Danks got a little bit of much-needed assistance to buy supplies for her students, it's extremely unfortunate that that's something she had to turn to in the first place.
According to The Washington Post, Oklahoma ranks near the bottom among all 50 states when it comes to funding per pupil. The state spends about $8,000 per student, and only Arizona, Idaho, and Utah spend less than that. And although the country has sort of bounced back from the Great Recession in 2008, according to that outlet, Oklahoma's education spending has still fallen 14 percent. That leaves teachers like Danks to have to make up the difference, or students are left without some basic supplies. Danks told the Post:
We are given pencils and paper, and we are given textbooks … (but) it goes beyond pencils and paper...It might be paint and glitter, it might be batteries if we're talking about science projects, or water bottles for the volcanoes. … We're constantly replenishing and we're trying to do these things week after week.
And with tax cuts and a budget crunch, some of those things just aren't covered by the little funding schools get. So, teachers like Danks do what they can, even if it means reaching into their own pockets or standing on the side of the road and asking strangers for help.
Since, according to The Washington Post, Oklahoma hasn't raised teachers' salaries since 2008, it's not exactly a surprise that Danks had to turn to thriftiness and donations to properly outfit her classroom. But it is a travesty, and something teachers who need to be focused on educating and guiding students shouldn't have to worry about.
According to Yahoo! News, Alicia Priest — president of the Oklahoma Education Association — said teachers across the United States often spend about $450 of their own money each year on school supplies, and that educators in Oklahoma spend "on the higher side" of that average.
But spending even $1 of their personal funds isn't something teachers should have to do. If we really want to value education in this country, we also have to value our teachers, and make sure both educators and students have the supplies they need to teach and learn, without having to panhandle (especially from citizens whose taxes are already used to support schools).
