in html views for translation like this
<%= Html.T("products") %>
If you want params in translated values you can use second T implementation like string.Format. First helper CurrentCulture is used in language select user control to determine current culture.
Create BaseController class
Create BaseController class that extends Controller and put it in "Infrastructure" folder of your MVC project. You should extend all your controller classes from this class. Create simple property for current selected culture (locale)
public string CurrentCulture
{
 get
 {
 return Translator.Instance.Locale;
 }
}
You will use this in your controller when you initialize your model, for example.
In the following code I will explain language detection and saving with cookie.
private void initCulture(RequestContext requestContext)
{
 string cultureCode = getCulture(requestContext.HttpContext);
 requestContext.HttpContext.Response.Cookies.Add(
 new HttpCookie("Culture", cultureCode)
 {
 Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(1),
 HttpOnly = true,
 }
 );
 Translator.Instance.Locale = cultureCode;
 CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo(cultureCode);
 System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture;
 System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = culture;
}
private string getCulture(HttpContextBase context)
{
 string code = getCookieCulture(context);
 if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(code))
 {
 code = getCountryCulture(context);
 }
 return code;
}
private string getCookieCulture(HttpContextBase context)
{
 HttpCookie cookie = context.Request.Cookies["Culture"];
 if (cookie == null || string.IsNullOrEmpty(cookie.Value) ||
 !Translator.Cultures.Contains(cookie.Value))
 {
 return string.Empty;
 }
 return cookie.Value;
}
private string getCountryCulture(HttpContextBase context)
{
 // some GeoIp magic here
 return "en-US";
}
First I try to get language cookie if there is any (if this is not first time visit). If there is no cookie you can detect browser language, make GeoIP IP address lookup and so on. After finding some valid locale/culture I set response cookie for next page visits. After this I change current thread culture. This is useful if you want to format some date or currency values.
You should call initCulture in overridden Initialize method.
Changes in HomeController
Don't forget to change parent class of all your controller to BaseController. Add following code to your HomeController, so you can change current culture. When you open specified URL, a cookie is set and user is redirected to index page. This URL is like example.com/home/culture/en-US. Clear cache method is for deleting current cache without restarting application pool. Access it with example.com/home/ClearLanguageCache.
public ActionResult Culture(string id)
{
 HttpCookie cookie = Request.Cookies["Culture"];
 cookie.Value = id;
 cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(1);
 Response.SetCookie(cookie);
 return Redirect("/");
}
public ActionResult ClearLanguageCache(string id)
{
 Translator.ClearCache();
 return Redirect("/");
}
To change current language I will create special user control which will be included in may Master.Site layout. Create CultureUserControl.ascx and put it in Views/Shared/ folder of your MVC project. Here is the code:
<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl" %>
<% if (Html.CurrentCulture() == "bg-BG") { %>
 en
<% } else { %>
 bg
<% } %>
In my layout I use <% Html.RenderPartial("CultureUserControl"); %> to include it.
Conclusion
In this simple tutorial I've created localization infrastructure for ASP.NET MVC web application. Translations of different languages are stored in XML files. Then I use Translator class to load them. Current user culture is kept in cookie. You can access Translator class in html views using some helpers. Also all the translation data i cached so it will not be loaded form XML every request.
Hope this tutorial helps.

text: Leo Africanus (Hasan al-Wazzān, c.1485–1554) was famous for his geography of North Africa. Following reconquest of his native Granada, Spain, by the Catholic Monarchs, his family moved to Fez, Morocco, where he worked 1 year in a maristan, which means "place for the sick" in Persian (1). Another travel writer, the Austrian physician Hieronymus Münzer (c.1437–1508), described the maristan of Granada as a "house for lunatics, built by the Moors" (2). Maristans had spread widely in the 9th and 10th centuries into North Africa and reached Moorish southern Spain (Al-Andalus) in the 14th century. Most were founded by sultans and supported by donations and patient fees, and they were typically supervised by physicians. Many were teaching hospitals. Their clinical units usually were organized by type of disease, and some evolved to care for specific disorders, including mental illnesses. The maristan of Cairo, Egypt (872), was the earliest identified as primarily psychiatric (3, 4).

Definition of Lysogeny
Lysogeny is a kind of life cycle in which certain types of bacteria get infected by a bacteriophage. In the process of lysogeny, the genome of the phage is incorporated into the genome of the host and keep on replicating as the cell divides. The phage is in dormant condition and does not produce any progeny.

But as soon as the host is exposed to UV light, the phage gets activated and takes over the cellular machinery of the host and produces new daughter phages, and eventually destroys the host cell and the progeny is released into the surrounding environment.

Building takes place in stages, with the formwork being repositioned as often as necessary. This is one of the most interesting methods, but applies only to barrel vaults.
Corbel vaults can be built only using small spans. Building in so-called "slices", without formwork, is the most economical method. This exploits the properties of certain mortars which enable the bricks to be laid face on layers leaning at a steep angle to the vertical. To improve adhesion, small and fairly thin elements of regular dimensions should be used. Using this principle, and by varying the shape and the size of the courses, one can build barrel, groined, dominical, trough, squinch and boat vaults. Traditionally, all these vaults are built "by eye", but light tools can be used to guide the masons so that they build the required shape correctly.
Building techniques without formwork are always preferred as a formwork would be too complicated to manufacture.
This enables large areas to be covered, but results in conical forms which are very high relative to the span.
Increasingly inclined rings:
Horizontal rings which gradually decrease in diameter can be used to create all types of cupolas. This method uses the same brick-laying technique as for vaults built in "slices". Simple rotating guides which describe the form in the air can be used to obtain correct, regular forms.
Using a straw-reinforced earth mortar, it is possible to build fairly large sized cupolas. These are built up in successive layers.

text: Linearization based controllers for incompressible flows have been proven to work in theory and in simulations. To realize such a controller numerically, the infinite dimensional system has to be linearized and discretized. The unavoidable consistency errors add a small but critical uncertainty to the controller model which will likely make it fail, especially when an observer is involved. Standard robust controller designs can compensate small uncertainties if they can be qualified as a coprime factor perturbation of the plant. We show that for the linearized Navier-Stokes equations, a linearization error can be expressed as a coprime factor perturbation and that this perturbation smoothly depends on the size of the linearization error. In particular, improving the linearization makes the perturbation smaller so that, eventually, standard robust controller will stabilize the system.

1, The difference between shower gel and bath salt
The main function of shower gel is to clean the skin. Some shower gels also have the functions of whitening, moisturizing and sterilizing. The scented shower gel can also adjust the mood. However, in addition to the cleaning effect, the shower gel is not so obvious. In addition to cleaning, bath salts contain iron, calcium, magnesium, selenium and other trace elements, which can also remove melanin from the skin and can effectively whiten and remove freckles. And the particles in it can also remove the old dead skin cells, remove acne, acne and so on.
2, Shower gel and bath salt suitable for the difference in skin quality
Shower gel is divided into alkaline and acidic. It has a strong alkaline cleaning ability and is more suitable for people with oily skin, but it is also more irritating to the skin. Acidic and neutral shower gels are not as strong in their ability to remove oil. They usually contain a moisturizer, so the skin is moisturized after use, and any skin type can be used. However, bath salts are irritating to the skin, and exfoliating is powerful, so people with sensitive skin should not use it or use it less. Especially when there is a wound on the skin, it is very irritating if bath salts are used, and it may cause pigmentation.
3, The difference between the use of shower gel and bath salt
If you use an acidic or neutral shower gel that is not harmful to the skin, it can be used every day, not only does it not cause damage to the skin, but also keeps the skin clean and avoids clogged pores. However, bath salt can not be used every day, because the particles in the bath salt have the effect of exfoliating. If used every day, the stratum corneum will become weaker and weaker, and the skin will become fragile and sensitive. Therefore, bath salt is best. Use once a week.
4, The difference between shower gel and bath salt ingredients
The ingredients of shower gel are generally surfactants, foam stabilizers, various preservatives, skin care agents, colorants, etc. Some high-quality shower gels also add vitamins, hydrolyzed proteins and other ingredients that are good for the skin. The ingredients in the bath salt are more special. They contain herbal extracts, mineral ions, natural sea salt and plant essential oils, so they not only cleanse the skin, but also soften and moisturize the skin.

Can the roof be repaired or does it have to be replaced?
Corrugated roofing was developed in the mid 19th century. Made of iron and manufactured to provide a strong yet lightweight and durable roofing material from then cheap materials, it was often installed on commercial and industrial buildings. The waves designed into the corrugated roof meant less standing water. Standing water is a haven for mosquitoes and a recipe for roofing leaks as well, so corrugated roofing materials were ideal for rolling water off buildings.
In the latter half of the 20th century, corrugated fiberglass roofing replaced the now expensive iron roofing materials as an equally durable option that was even lighter in weight and allowed near perfect water drainage while allowing light to pass through too. The translucent capabilities of fiberglass corrugated roofing often meant it was the perfect option for greenhouses, atriums, and other commercial spaces where light, but not water, was desired.
Managing Leaks in Corrugated Roofing Material
Identifying and isolating the source of leaks in corrugated roofing material can be frustrating and time-consuming, and many business owners regretfully take the most expensive route and choose to replace the roof. Often, this is unnecessary because the leak can be managed and overcome with an acrylic roof patching compound and stitchbond polyester fabric that will solve the leaking problem which almost always is from loose or missing fasteners (grommeted screws). Simply replace the fastener (grommet screw) with a new oversized screw and 3-Course over the fastener with the acrylic gel (roof patchingcompound) and the stitchbond polyester fabric for a permanent repair. An acrylic roof coating will extend the life of the corrugated roof as well.
Solving Corrugated Roofing Leaks with Acrylic Coatings
Corrugated roofs typically leak as a result of one or more of the following:
While one common factor of corrugated roofing materials is that they are durable, when they start leaking, it can be frustrating and expensive to replace the roof. Luckily, commercial property owners have some eco-friendly options to seal their corrugated roofing instead of replacing it. Thus, you'll extend of the life of the roofing material while improving energy efficiency in the building. Acrylic coatings also offer tremendous fire resistance and sun damage proofing as well.
The California Department of Housing and Community Development recommend Metacrylics products for the highest-quality waterproof commercial roofs. The company's acrylic roofing products are installed at universities, ski resorts, airport terminals, etc. Metacrylic's clients include companies / organizations such as Hewlett Packard, NASA, IBM, the U.S. Navy, and many more.

Good afternoon, apologies if this question appears too basic.
I am attempting to find TFBSs in a 10kb DNA sequence. To do this, I've tried using TomTom. I followed the instructions by converting my 10kb seq fasta file into a .meme file using
iupac2meme -dna my_file.fasta >my_meme_file.meme. However, looking at the .meme file, I'm confused at what the matrix represents. Based on the documentation, I understand the rows are positions in a motif and the columns are for each nucleotide (A,T,G,C). But since my sequence was 10kb long, what exactly happened to the rest of the information? Are the rows just for a single, short motif that was most common in my 10kb sequence?
Secondly, are there any other recommended tools to search for TFBSs that are free and stringent? Appreciate any advice, as I'm fairly new to this. Thank you!

Though John Deere designated its new-for-1937 workhorse the Model G, a more obvious name choice might have been Model P--as in, the first letter of the word uttered most by farmers with work to do... power.
Deere designed the G to be a three-plow tractor with 34 horsepower at the belt. Power came from a 412.5-cubic-inch, two-cylinder, all-fuel engine that ran on kerosene and distillates. Famously, the Model G's engine was so much larger than the powerplants offered in the rest of the company's lineup, that the tractor's frame had to be customized with the addition of a bulge to accommodate its girth.
Another widely known fact about the G is that its bigger, more powerful two-cylinder proved to be too much for the tractor's radiator to keep cool--a problem that led to more than 2,000 of the first tractors off the assembly line being recalled.
Later versions used a taller radiator, with a coolant capacity some two gallons larger than the original, to alleviate the problem. A larger upper radiator pipe was also installed on Model Gs in late 1938.
In the early 1940s, the Model G received the stylized hood and front-end treatment pictured on the tractor here. In 1941, a six-speed transmission replaced the earlier tractor's four-speed gearbox, and electric start was added in 1947.
With modest changes, the Model G plowed on until 1953, when the numbered series Deere tractors took over. All told, Moline built about 64,000 Model Gs and G variants, like the GH high-crop tractor and the GM--which was what Deere called the tractor briefly during WW II.
As with virtually all John Deere tractors, Model Gs are highly sought after and collectible today. The parts availability is excellent, and support from clubs and enthusiasts is typically strong. Due perhaps to their relative scarcity, the early low-radiator tractors are prized more highly among collectors than the more efficient high-radiator tractors.
Prices for Model Gs in excellent condition can range from $7,000 - $10,000, and hopeful collectors can expect to pay upwards of $4,000 for restorable units.

Paper Title: Obstructive Sleep Apnea Detection Based on Sound Interval Frequency using Wearable Device
This paper introduces an automated approach to identify the existence of Resistant Obstructive Sleep Apnea depending on breathing signal. The behavior of the breathing sounds is carried by decision making sound interval that detect respiratory signal when breathe and hold breathing. We have used the capability of recording breathing sound by a microphone and analyzed by sound frequency presence. Whether the recording data is abnormal has been analyzed with Audacity software. Respiratory signals are successfully analyzed by the decision making sound interval frequency made with 89.4% accuracy.

This details about a scenario in Dynamics CRM 2013 with an import of an organisation failing due to duplicate user names.
There are at least two trusted Domains (e.g. Domain1 and Domain2). Once in a while it may become necessary that a user is moved into a new Domain (e.g. for a new Job). In this case the user domain1\username is disabled in domain1 and created as domain2\username in domain2. Please note that both times the very same username is taken for that user. As a consequence, the same will be done in CRM: domain1\username will be disabled and a new user domain2\username will be enabled.
You would import the org with these two duplicate usernames (one is disabled) and log on to CRM 2013 after this Import
The users are unable to log on to CRM.
These error messages are thrown:
Error message 1: "Business Management Error" "The user ID associated with the current record is not valid".
Error message 2: "No Microsoft Dynamics CRM user exists with the specified domain name and user ID".
In the import log you may find these warnings:
Warning| The following mappings were not valid because these crm users are mapped to AD users that are mapped multiple times: (Domain1\username, Domain2\username),
When CRM maps the user to AD user, the disabled user will show up before the active user in the list most of the times. When that occurs, we will always map to the disabled user instead of the active user.
When CRM moves on to the next mapping, which is the Domain2\username, this fails because AD account Domain2\username is already mapped to the disabled CRM user account that was previously mapped to Domain1\username, and we cannot have a valid AD account mapped to multiple CRM users in one organization.
This is working as design as this part of the code is also used elsewhere.
1) Do not create a separate new CRM user but remap the AD Account of existing user
You may correct the problem also later on in this way:
1. Create two dummy users in AD: domain2\Dummy1 and domain2\Dummy2
2. Map active CRM user Testuser to dummy domain2\Dummy1
3. Enable the disabled user entry in CRM
4. Map this CRM user to domain2\Dummy2
5. Disable this user again
6. Map the active CRM user (beneath 2) back to the "real" ADUser"
2) The best option is to create a mapping file and maintain that file for this and any other affected organizations. You can get a good start on the mapping file simply by selecting the records from the SystemUserBase table and then altering the results as needed. This will ensure definitive mapping for the user accounts. Also, once the mapping file is created, using it during the import process is nearly as simple as using Automatic Mapping.
Note: Always ensure you have a recent backup of the CRM database before any changes in SQL.
In order to create a mapping file via SQL select from System user base, you may go through these steps:
1. Create and Copy the XML file to the CRM Server that you will be importing the Organization from:
2. Open the XML file and update the line so that the old and new values are correctly populated for the NETBIOS domain names.

Cultivation and Education
The Community Action Center Garden program utilizes several different growing spaces to grow and harvest fresh produce for our Food Bank and Mobile Farm Stand program. These spaces include a hydroponic system in our office lobby, community garden plots at Koppel Farm, and a new greenhouse space at the Palouse Discovery Science Center!
Hydroponics – Our indoor hydroponic tanks grow leafy greens year around and can yield over 30 bags of lettuce mix a week! Other than lettuce varieties we can also grow Bok Choi, Kale, Swiss Chard and so much more. These spaces are critical during our long winters when we can't grow outside.
Community Garden – April through October you can find our garden plots at Koppel Farm filled to the brim with veggies. The Pullman Community Garden donates 6 plots to CAC, and we use these spaces to grow things like potatoes, tomatoes, green beans, and more.
Greenhouse at PDSC – New in 2023, our 700 square foot greenhouse allows us room to start more veggies in the spring, grow specialty crops throughout the year, and gives us a site for education and collaboration events in the future.
In addition to food production, the garden program aims to provide garden education to the community and be a valuable resource for those who wish to learn how to grow their own food. In collaboration with local organizations like the Whitman County Master Gardeners and the Palouse Discovery Science Center, we offer several different programs throughout the year.
If you are interested in volunteering with our garden program or have an education event you'd like to see or help facilitate, email Claire at _EMAIL_

Debugging GPU Code in Microsoft C++ AMP
Now, it's time to run code on the GPU to calculate the sum of the three arrays. Concurrency::parallel_for_each invokes a parallel computation of a kernel function (that is, a function designed for execution on the GPU) over a compute domain on an accelerator_view. sum.extent is the extent that represents the set of indices that form the compute domain. A lambda expression is the function object that performs the parallel computation and receives idx (index<1>). Visual Studio 2013 also includes enhancements that reduce the parallel_for_each launch overhead in the C++ AMP runtime compared with the previous runtime version.
 sum[idx] = a[idx] + b[idx] + c[idx];
Notice that restrict(amp) indicates that the chunk of code is to be executed in an AMP accelerator, and therefore, it won't be possible to debug this piece of code when you debug the code that runs on the CPU. If you establish a breakpoint at the line sum[idx] = a[idx] + b[idx] + c[idx], you will see the invalid breakpoint icon with the following message: The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No executable code of the debugger's target code type is associated with this line. Possible causes include: conditional compilation, compiler optimizations, or the target architecture of this line is not supported by the current debugger code type.
By default, when you start a new C++ project, the debugger type is set to Auto, and therefore, you will be limited to CPU debugging when you have C++ AMP code. To check your current settings, access the project properties and then select Configuration Properties | Debugging | Debugger Type. As I mentioned earlier, if you are executing Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 8.1, you can use the WARP accelerator to debug both CPU and GPU code. However, right now I want to focus on debugging CPU code, and therefore, I will discuss WARP accelerator later.
Naturally, when you debug CPU code, it is possible to start executing the _tmain function step-by-step. The code that generates the C++ AMP objects within the amp_sum function also runs on the CPU, and therefore, the last line in which you will be able to set a breakpoint at is sum.discard_data();. This optimization hint will be the last line executed in the CPU before parallel_for_each invokes the parallel computation of the kernel function over the compute domain. Thus, if you want to inspect the values of the different array_view instances before the GPU executes the kernel, that line of code is the appropriate place to set a breakpoint at (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: Checking the contents of a array_view before the C++ AMP runtime launches the kernel.
While debugging, you must take into account that each parallel_for_each call launches as an asynchronous operation. However, the execution will end before the amp_sum function returns, and therefore, the valuesAPlusBPlusC array in the _tmain function will display the results of the sum generated by the code executed in the GPU. Thus, you will be able to inspect valuesAPlusBPlusC if you set a breakpoint at the line with the for loop that prints the results within the _tmain function.
Debugging GPU Code
Once you check the input and the output for the kernel, you can relaunch the debugging session with new settings to debug the kernel code. Access the project properties, select Configuration Properties | Debugging | Debugger Type and change the setting from Auto to GPU Only. The Debugging Accelerator Type will change to GPU - Software Emulator, and the GPU Default Breakpoint Behavior will be set to Break once per warp. First, I will use the default settings that specify that a breakpoint event should be raised only once per warp. Then, I will show the differences with the other available setting, which breaks with every thread, similar to the CPU behavior.
Now, let's set a breakpoint at the following line within the parallel_for_each invocation, in the amp_sum function: sum[idx] = a[idx] + b[idx] + c[idx];
When we start debugging the application, the debugger will stop at that breakpoint. Select Debug | Windows | GPU Threads to activate the GPU Threads window (see Figure 2). The GPU software emulator allows you to work with four threads, and therefore, you will see 4 threads in the Thread Count column for the amp_sum::I3 Location. You can debug the kernel code in a similar way than you're used with multithreaded CPU code. You can use the Parallel Stacks window to check the threads launched in the GPU and the Locals window to inspect the contents for the different array_view instances (see Figure 2). The first time the debugger hits the breakpoint, you will see the ten values for sum set to 0. You can also use the Parallel Watch window to freeze and thaw GPU threads as you are used with CPU threads.
Figure 2: Debugging the kernel code with the Locals, Parallel Stacks (Threads view), and GPU Threads windows.
If you press F5 (Continue), you will notice that the first four values for sum are filled:
 - sum[0]: 111
 - sum[1]: 222
 - sum[2]: 333
 - sum[3]: 444
As I mentioned earlier, the GPU software emulator is working with four threads and the GPU Default Breakpoint Behavior is set to Break once per warp. The warp size is 4, so when the debugger hits the breakpoint again, the GPU software emulator has already executed four threads that completed the first four sum values.
The GPU Threads window provides valuable information for understanding the C++ AMP code. Click on the Expand Thread Switcher button located at the upper left corner and a new panel displays the thread number that is active in the debugger and the range for the index. Figure 3 shows Thread 4 as the active thread and the information about the Range: 0..9. Thus, the debugger is sitting on the line that will calculate the value that will be stored in sum[4] because idx is equal to 4.
Figure 3: The GPU Threads window with the expanded thread switcher and the Parallel Watch 1 window. The active thread is #4 (Thread[4]).
You can activate another thread in the debugger by entering the desired number in the Thread textbox within the thread switcher. For example, if you enter 5 and press Enter in the Thread textbox, the debugger will switch to thread #5, idx will be equal to 5 and the displayed line will be calculating the value that will be stored in sum[5]. However, take into account that you are working in the warp that has four threads, which means that you can debug threads 4, 5, 6 and 7. You cannot go to thread #8 yet. You can also select Debug | Windows | Parallel Watch | Parallel Watch 1 and see the list of the four active GPU threads: [4], [5], [6], and [7]. I find it easier to see and select the active thread by using the Parallel Watch 1 window instead of the GPU Threads window.
If you press F5 (Continue), you will notice that the first eight values for sum are filled:
 - sum[0]: 111
 - sum[1]: 222
 - sum[2]: 333
 - sum[3]: 444
 - sum[4]: 555
 - sum[5]: 666
 - sum[6]: 777
 - sum[7]: 888
This time, there are going to be two active GPU threads: [8] and [9]. Finally, the code will use these two threads to calculate the last two values.
If you don't feel comfortable with the debugger executing a maximum of four threads per breakpoint hit, you can change the debugging settings to make the GPU default breakpoint behavior to break for every thread. Access the project properties, select Configuration Properties | Debugging | GPU Default Breakpoint Behavior and set it to Break for every thread (like CPU behavior). This way, you will work with just one thread at a time and it will be easier for you to debug certain algorithms.
As you can see from this simple example, Visual Studio 2013 makes it easy to debug C++ AMP code. In fact, you can debug GPU code in a similar way to how you debug multithreaded CPU code. However, things become a bit more complicated when you use the GPU programming performance optimization technique called tiling.
In the next article, I'll explain how Visual Studio 2013 C++ AMP debugging capabilities help you to understand and debug code that uses tiling optimizations. The GPU code is going to be more complex than the example explained in this article and it will be necessary to use additional helpers to simplify the debugging session.

About Beach ATV
Views: 0 Author: Site Editor Publish Time: 2024-05-31 Origin: Site
A beach ATV, also known as a sand ATV or dune buggy, is an all-terrain vehicle specifically designed for riding on sandy terrain such as beaches, sand dunes, or deserts. These vehicles are built to handle the unique challenges presented by soft, loose sand. Here are some key features and considerations for beach ATVs:
Lightweight and Wide Tires: Beach ATVs are typically lightweight to help them float and maneuver more easily on sand. They often have wider tires with a specific tread pattern designed to provide traction in sandy conditions. The wider tires help distribute the weight of the ATV over a larger surface area, reducing the chances of sinking into the sand.
Engine Power: Beach ATVs may have varying engine sizes and power outputs, depending on the specific model and intended use. The power of the engine should be sufficient to provide the necessary torque and acceleration to navigate through sandy terrain effectively.
Suspension: A good suspension system is crucial for a beach ATV. It helps absorb the bumps and undulations of the sand, providing a smoother and more comfortable ride. Some beach ATVs may have adjustable suspension settings to accommodate different riding conditions.
Air Filter Protection: Riding on sandy beaches exposes the ATV to fine sand particles that can enter the engine and cause damage. Beach ATVs often have additional air filter protection, such as pre-filters or foam covers, to prevent sand from entering the intake system and ensure proper engine performance.
Corrosion Resistance: Saltwater and sand can be corrosive, so beach ATVs may have additional protective coatings or materials to resist corrosion. It's important to rinse off the ATV with fresh water after riding on the beach to remove any salt or sand residue and prevent corrosion.
Safety Considerations: When riding a beach ATV, it's essential to follow safety guidelines and local regulations. Always wear appropriate safety gear, including a helmet, goggles, and protective clothing. Additionally, be mindful of other beachgoers, avoid sensitive environmental areas, and ride responsibly.
Maintenance: Beach ATVs require regular maintenance to keep them in top condition. This includes cleaning and lubricating the ATV after each beach ride to remove sand and salt residue, inspecting the air filter, checking tire pressures, and performing routine maintenance tasks such as oil changes and filter replacements.
It's important to note that beach ATVs are designed for specific terrain conditions and may not perform optimally or be suitable for other types of off-road environments. If you're considering purchasing a beach ATV, ensure that it meets your intended use requirements and consult with the manufacturer or authorized dealer for specific recommendations and guidance.

As with most cultures around the world, the dances of Native people in Canada are a form of celebration while also serving important spiritual or sacred purposes. Changes to various dance styles happen over time as they adapt to new external and internal influences. We can trace many contemporary dances to earlier social practices, and in some cases, specific dates and persons can be ascertained for certain changes and innovations.
Borrowing has always been a part of Native culture, with groups readily sharing their social dances and traditions with one another. The origin and development of the powwow is a good example of this sharing among groups over time. As a result of this sharing, and the passing of traditions from one generation to the next, there is often no definitive version of a dance. This renewal of traditional practices illustrates the vitality of and commitment to Native cultural expressions. Dancing takes place on reserves and in urban contexts, publicly and privately, for pleasure, entertainment, introspection and to reconnect with Mother Earth, Native culture and other Native people.
Many Native dances originated prior to contact with non-Natives. Other contemporary dances can be traced to pre-reserve traditions and customs. The resilience of First Peoples is clear when considering the ways in which the retention, adaptation, transformation, and renewal of dances occurs. Despite strenuous assimilation efforts and inevitable interaction with local non-Natives, Native dance and culture remain central to many Native people as they continue to promote their identity and heritage through dance, music and celebration.

Room 5B (San Diego Convention Center)For the first time, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and NBC News are partnering to offer specialized instruction for scientists and engineers in the use of hand-held camera technology and techniques. Participants will emerge with enhanced expertise in the communication of science research. Knowledge of digital journalism is significant because journalists are storytellers who sift through information and make the crucial distinction between fact and opinion. By integrating audio and video into their stories, journalists enhance the depth, impact, and credibility of news. In some cases, entire narratives can be explored, and entire worlds accessed, with only the use of audio and visual cues. This workshop will equip scientists and engineers with similar skills to share their research in an effective and compelling manner.

In recent years, many consumers across Asia have watched in disbelief as their energy costs have soared through the roof. But homeowners in Thailand, with some support from USAID, have a new vantage point – on the roof, where installed solar panels can help bring energy costs down, way down. Solar costs have dropped dramatically in recent years, prompting many countries to expand their solar capabilities. However, utilities are concerned that rooftop solar will slash profits as more customers produce their own electricity.
Enter the USAID Clean Power Asia program, the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and Chulalongkorn University's Energy Research Institute. They collaborated with Thailand to tackle these financial concerns and help advance Thailand's solar regulatory policy. Results of an economic analysis of the effects of increased distributed photovoltaics penetration in the country proved that higher penetration levels would have no impact on utility revenue and a limited impact on rates, due to the existing regulatory structure that is well suited for greater investment.

Both Rachel and Leah are considered beautiful women in Jewish tradition, but a verse in this week's Torah seems to suggest that Rachel was the "beauty queen" of the family: "Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was shapely and beautiful" (Gen. 29:17). Why are Leah's eyes described as "weak"? Is this a euphemism for saying she was unsightly? After all, Rachel is described in this verse as yifat mareh - "beautiful of sight" (i.e., attractive). Does this text therefore contrast the two women by implying that Leah was physically unattractive? Or does having "weak eyes" mean that she was perhaps nearsighted? How are we to understand Leah's weak eyes?
The word translated as "weak" is the Hebrew word rakkot (×¨Ö·×›Ö¼×•Ö¹×ª), the plural form of the word rak (×¨Ö·×šÖ°), meaning soft or tender. Rashi comments that Leah's eyes were made "weak" (tender) from crying "until her eyelashes fell out." But why was she so sad? According to midrash, Leah's eyes were reddened and puffy because she was constantly lamenting the prospect of marrying Esau. The adage of the town was: "Two sons to Rivkah; two daughters to Lavan; the older to the older, the younger to the younger."
Leah's eyes were tender and tearstained, then, but this is not intended to say she was physically unattractive. On the contrary, saying that she had "weak eyes" is a term of praise for her, since her greatest fear was to be forced to undergo an arranged marriage with Esau, and therefore she wept and wept to be the mother of the righteous.... God saw her tears -- and blessed her to become the most fruitful of the four matriarchs of Israel. Ironically, it was the less teary-eyed Rachel, who later died in childbirth, that was prophesied to weep for her children (Jer. 31:15).
Regarding this subject the Talmud states that the word rak (tender) connotes royalty (Bava Basra 4a). Indeed, two lines of royalty were destined to descend from Leah: the royal family of Judah (from whom would come King David and King Messiah) and the spiritual line of Levi, from whom would descend Moses, Aaron, and the Kohanim (the priestly class). Like their tenderhearted mother, both of these houses of Israel would shed tears of concern for the well-being of Israel.

Chemistry Of Different Amazonian Water Types For River Classification: A Preliminary Review
Free (open access)
17 - 28
E. A. Ríos-Villamizar, M. T. F. Piedade, J. G. Da Costa, J. M. Adeney & W. J. Junk
Water chemistry provides important parameters for the study of river ecology and management options of rivers and connected wetlands. Sioli, in the 1950s, established three water types (whitewater, blackwater and clearwater) for explaining limnological characteristics of the large Amazonian rivers, and related the physico-chemical parameters of these water types with the geological properties of their basins; a landscape ecology approach. Today, an increasing amount of hydrochemical data indicate that the chemical composition of Amazonian water bodies varies much more than assumed by Sioli. Nonetheless, due to its simplicity for describing the natural physico-chemical variability of Amazonian rivers, his classification is still valid. Our analysis, based in literature and field work, allowed to distinguish well among the three classical water types and to provide new preliminary insights about the limnological classification of Amazonian rivers in order to subsidize the sustainable management of water resources and wetlands. Keywords: Amazon basin, river classification, water hydrochemistry, landscape ecology.

Officials announced that recent rainfalls in Iran have increased average precipitation for the water year in the country. raising water levels in dam reservoirs across the country.
Head of Iran's Water Resources Management Company (WRM) Mohammad Hajrasouliha said on Thursday that recent rainfalls beginning Monday and ending Wednesday increased the average peak to 172 millimeters from 165 millimeters recorded over the last water year in Iran.
Hajrasouliha said the rainfall affected major provinces in south. center and north of the country. including the province surrounding the capital Tehran.
Seyed Hossein Razavi. a local WRM official in Tehran. said that the two-day rains increased water levels in reservoirs of the province by two million cubic meters.
Razavi added that water levels in main reservoirs in Tehran were currently around 610 million cubic meters. 25 million cubic meters higher compared with the previous year.
He said that average precipitation in February in Tehran was nearly double the yearly figure.
Iran has seen years of dry spell before embracing waves of heavy rainfall in March.
That comes as the storage in water reservoirs has always been seen as a major factor for the country's economic growth and agricultural output.
Late in November. Iran's Ministry of Energy announced that heavy precipitation in the fall had been unprecedented in the last 51 years. adding that the volume of water behind dams across the country was then 26% more than what the figures showed a year earlier.
The total volume of water held currently behind dams across Iran was 25.4 billion cubic meters (bcm). a 26-percent year-on-year increase. said the news service of the Ministry of Energy Paven.ir. adding that 50 percent of the total capacity of the dams was empty compared to the 59-percent reported between September and October 2019.
The report said that precipitation as of 21 September. 2019. which marks the beginning of Iran's water year. until 22 November had been more than 42 millimeters on average. adding that the figure represented a 23-percent increase year-on-year compared to the past 51 years.

How Everything Works Together
There are a lot of bits and pieces of information out there that you have to piece together yourself to figure out how all of this stuff works together. As soon as you figure out how one piece works, there's another piece of the puzzle. Hopefully I can put this into perspective and outline all the pieces.
This was my first post. In the two years since, I have realized that I made things quite a bit more complicated than they needed to be. It's still good to understand how all of the different pieces talk to each other, but I've updated the software section to reflect how I've pared it down.
Think about the PC controlling everything as the brain, the mount as the heart, and the OTA and camera as the eyes. This is meant for a general overview. There will be more in-depth pages on each of these controls and I'll link them here as I write them. Take a look at this quick process breakdown, and then below, a layout of my setup.
 1. Planetarium software talks to the mount to slew to a target.
 2. Plate-solving software uses the imaging camera and imaging software to center the target in the imaging camera's field of view.
 3. Guiding software send commands to the mount to keep a star in the same spot based on images provided by your guide camera.
 4. Imaging software allows you to create an imaging plan and set image settings to for your camera.
 5. ASCOM Driver software pulls all of it together.
My background is in IT, and is highly process-driven, so I created this flowchart to help myself understand how everything is working together. Visualizing it like this helped me to write a setup checklist and eliminate mistakes in my setup. There are more subtleties and connections used that aren't listed here, but there are only so many lines you can draw before it gets way too confusing.
Think of the flowchart breakdown this way:
 - Yellow = the eyes and imaging components of the setup
 - Blue = Mount and it's software controls
 - Green = a crossover of imaging and controls specific for Astrotortilla since it uses both aspects to center an object
 - Orange = the brain – the main control laptop
 - Purple = intermediaries and extras. They are not absolutely necessary to image, but help a lot
My PC runs the following software simultaneously to control all the pieces:
 - Stellarium Scope
 - Allows Stellarium to use the POTH ASCOM driver
 - Stellarium
 - Planetarium Software to view the night sky and move without the clunky handset
 - New (2019) Meade Universal ASCOM Driver POTH hand controller
 - Allows you to make small adjustments using the PC as you would with the hand controller
 - PHD2
 - Guiding and alignment
 - Astrophotography Tool Backyard EOS
 - Imaging
 - PlateSolve2 and/or All Sky Plate Solver embedded in Astrophotography Tool Astrotortilla
 - Plate solving/object centering
 - Windows Remote Desktop Teamviewer
 - This is a free luxury with two PCs (or phone/tablet) that I use to remotely control the PC at the Telescope from the warmth of my family room, or even away from home.
That's a lot of work for the brain. Let's take a look at how the brain interacts with all of these pieces to get them to work together.
Update: I now use a new Universal Meade Driver that allows connections to multiple pieces of software and more automation for Meade mounts. The thing that makes all of this possible is the ASCOM standard drivers for PCs. Most mounts today are ASCOM compatible, and descriptions on product sites will let you know if they are. With the use of the POTH (Plain Old Telescope Handset) Hub you can connect all of the control software simultaneously using virtual COM ports. You can use device specific ASCOM drivers to connect directly to the mount, but you will be restricted to running one piece of control software at a time. Using POTH hub, each piece of software connects to to the hub, and the hub connects to your mount using the device specific driver.
Update: I still use Stellarium to plan sessions, but object slewing is built into Astrophotography tool. You can use the object database programmed into your hand controller to slew the scope to objects, but I don't see the point of that if you're already using a PC to control guiding. Stellarium and Stellarium Scope are free pieces of software that allow you to point the scope using a visual reference. Stellarium sends commands to the mount through the handset telling it where to point. Stellarium can control your mount without Stellarium Scope, but Stellarium Scope is necessary if you plan on using the POTH hub.
PHD2 (Push Here Dummy) has two purposes. The first used in a setup is Drift Alignment. Through a process of determining guiding errors, you adjust the Azimuth and Altitude adjustments on your mount to get the alignment dead-on. This will allow for longer exposures with fewer thrown away. The second, and primary purpose of the software is to send pulse commands to your mount to keep the guiding right on target, based on the star image provided by your guide camera. This software can be used in a basic setup (Push Here Dummy) or an advanced setup with subtle changes to increase guiding accuracy. I've recently tapped into more of the advanced settings and have been able to increase my guiding accuracy significantly, usually to a total error of under 1 arc second. For example, I imaged for 10 hours and only had to throw out 4 captures due to tracking errors.
Update: PlasteSolve 2 and All Sky Plate Solver are integrated into Astrophotography Tool. They require little setup and I have more success with them, solving in under 5 seconds in most cases. Astrotortilla puts your image in the center of the FOV. For a mount GOTO as inaccurate as mine, Astrotortilla is essential. Astrotortilla takes an image using your imaging software (BackyardEOS in my case) and imaging camera. With that image, it then uses a database specific to your field of view to determine where your scope is pointing, and where it needs to be. After calculating the error, Astrotortilla sends commands to the mount to slew to the object. It repeats this process to get the object centered within one arc-minute. This software can be very confusing, and all of the setup information I've seen out there is over-complicated and makes things more confusing. This is a very useful piece of software, but it can be extremely frustrating if it's not setup properly.

Update: Since purchasing a cooled Astro Camera, I've moved to Astrophotography tool. BackyardEOS allows you to create an imaging plan and gives you a bit of a set it and forget it method to imaging. Obviously it interacts with the imaging camera, but also has the capability to communicate with your mount by porting to PHD2 for dithering (a process to reduce noise that moves each image a couple pixels).
Update: At home I use the built-in Windows Remote Desktop, which operates completely within your home network. It's faster and more reliable. Lastly, Teamviewer is a free remote control software that I use to control the PC connected to the scope. Living in Chicago, where it's either 95, or -5 and rarely in-between, I can image more often and for longer from inside the house.

An Industrial Engineer's Approach to Managing Oracle Databases - Robyn Sands
11 March 2008
This paper is an introduction to several concepts used in the manufacturing industry to improve efficiency. Some of these concepts will be compared to existing, well known methods in database management to demonstrate commonality between the disciplines. Other concepts will be explored to determine if there is a potential to develop new tools for database management. This paper discusses variation and why variation should be minimized where practical. The potential use of variation as a tool in performance measurement will be explored.

text: Adler recognized career development as an integral component of life. His holistic view of lifestyle as active in career endeavors is a fundamental factor in many career theories. Although his work is often not recognized in career theories, many of the constructs used are similar to those professed by Adler. One emerging theory of career development and counseling uses many of the constructs presented in Individual Psychology. Career construction theory focuses on the counseling process and uses many autobiographical memory techniques to understand the client's motivation and movement. This article highlights Adler's many contributions to understanding career development.

FARM-Africa are asking their supporters to 'give their honey a bee' this Valentine's Day and help them to continue changing lifes in Africa. For only £15 the lucky recipient will receive a model bee, charity gift pack, plus information on how the money raised is helping people less fortunate.
FARM-Africa help farmers like Raphael in eastern Africa. Raphael lives in the Nou Forest, Tanzania, with his wife, three sons and three daughters. He has always used the forest as his main source of income, sourcing and selling honey to others in his village. He used to harvest honey from traditional log hives that were set high up in the trees. The hives were very hard to access and produced little honey. The demand for honey in his village was growing but he could not produce enough to keep up.
Raphael became a member of the Mkombozi beekeeping group, which was set up in 2008 by FARM-Africa. He was shown how to improve his honey production using langstroth hives and modern beekeeping techniques. The new hives are easier to use and mean Raphael is producing enough honey for his family, as well as surplus to sell in his village. The money he earns helps buy essential goods such as food and water for his family.
So why not 'get buzzy' and bestow on your honey a bee from FARM-Africa this weekend, and help more farmers fight hunger and provide for their families.

Not content with Google Glass as a new mode for computing, technology giant Google has submitted a patent design for a new glove based controller reminiscent of the input gestures in Minority Report.
Just like in the movie the gloves could be used to manipulate objects by gesture. They could also be used to draw letters in the air or type onto virtual keyboards.
The technology also allows you to 'see with your hand' and capture images with the glove technology via detectors positioned inside the tips of the fingers. Motion sensors also would interact with computer processors.
In the patent filing Google said: "The detector(s) may record a series of images of the environment, and a display may display the series of images to the user. In this manner, the user may "see" the inaccessible environment as if the user's eyes were located on the user's hand or finger, or on the other area of the user's body.
"Alternately or additionally, motion of the detector(s) may be determined by comparing images in the recorded series of images, and one or more predetermined motions may detected among the predetermined motion. One of more functions may be triggered based on detection of the one or more predetermined motions."

In this talk, we present our journey towards and our experiences in transposing static analyses from application to infrastructure code.
We realised the need to analyse infrastructure code while designing the Chaokka automated tester. Chaokka injects cloud-specific faults during the execution of a test suite to assess the resilience of a cloud-native application against these faults. The approach uses delta debugging to speed up the exploration of the corresponding fault space, which we expect to benefit further from architectural insights extracted from the supporting infrastructure code (e.g., how many replicas the application maintains of each service, …).
The second part of the talk focuses on analyses for infrastructure code in general, and Ansible in particular. To this end, we present two static representations of Ansible code. First, we describe a structural model, akin to an AST, and its applications in empirical research on Semantic Versioning in the Ansible Galaxy ecosystem. Second, we present a program dependence graph representation that captures the control and data flow of an Ansible script. We describe the challenges faced when building such graphs, caused by unconventional and undocumented Ansible semantics. Finally, we describe two applications of Ansible program dependence graphs, namely the detection of variable-related smells, and a graph pattern mining approach to defect detection.

we mean finding a proper normal subgroup K, and consequently also a quotient group G/K - which is equivalent to finding a proper homomorphism from G.) This time, I want to do the same for imprimitive groups. So, what is an imprimitive group?

Well, given a permutation group acting on a set X, it can happen that X consists of "blocks" Y1, Y2, ... of points which always "move together". That is, a subset Y of X is a block if for all g in G, Y^g (the image of Y under the action of g) is either equal to Y or disjoint from it. A full set of blocks (that is, blocks Y1, Y2, ... which are disjoint, and whose union is the whole of X) is called a block system.

For example, suppose that X is the vertices of the hexagon. The symmetry group of the hexagon is the dihedral group D12, generated by a rotation and a reflection:

> :load Math.Algebra.Group.Subquotients
> mapM_ print $ _D 12
[[1,2,3,4,5,6]]
[[1,6],[2,5],[3,4]]

A block system for the hexagon is shown below. The blocks are the pairs of opposite vertices. You can verify that they satisfy the definition of blocks: any symmetry must take a pair of opposite points either to itself, or to another pair disjoint from it.

A given group can have more than one block system. Here is another block system for the hexagon. The blocks are the two equilateral triangles formed by the vertices.

There are also the trivial block systems, consisting of either just one block containing all the points, or a block for each point. From now on, we will silently exclude these.

So, I was meant to be telling you what an imprimitive group is. Well, it's just a group which has a non-trivial block system. Conversely, a primitive group is one which has no non-trivial block system.

When we have an imprimitive group, we will be able to form a homomorphism - and hence factor the group - by considering the induced action of the group on the blocks. But I'm jumping ahead. First we need to write some Haskell code - to find block systems.

The idea is to write a function that, given a pair of points Y = {y1,y2} in X (or indeed any subset Y of X), can find the smallest block containing Y. The way it works is as follows. We start by supposing that each point is in a block of its own, except for the points in Y. We initialise a map, with the points in X as keys, and the blocks as values, where we represent a block by its least element.

Now, suppose that we currently think that the minimal block is Y = {y1,y2,...}. What we're going to do is work through the elements of Y, and work through the generators of G, trying to find a problem. So suppose that we have got as far as some element y of Y, and some generator g of G. We know that y is in the same block as y1, and what we have to check is that y^g is in the same block as y1^g. So we look up their representatives in the map, and check that they're the same. If they're not, then we need to merge the two classes. Here's the code (it's a little opaque, but it's basically doing what I just described).

minimalBlock gs ys@(y1:yt) = minimalBlock' p yt gs where
    xs = foldl union [] $ map supp gs
    p = M.fromList $ [(yi,y1) | yi <- ys] ++ [(x,x) | x <- xs \\ ys]
    minimalBlock' p (q:qs) (h:hs) =
        let r = p M.! q         -- representative of class containing q
            k = p M.! (q .^ h)  -- rep of class (q^h)
            l = p M.! (r .^ h)  -- rep of class (r^h)
        in if k /= l -- then we need to merge the classes
           then let p' = M.map (\x -> if x == l then k else x) p
                    qs' = qs ++ [l]
                in minimalBlock' p' (q:qs') hs
           else minimalBlock' p (q:qs) hs
    minimalBlock' p (q:qs) [] = minimalBlock' p qs gs
    minimalBlock' p [] _ =
        let reps = toListSet $ M.elems p
        in L.sort [ filter (\x -> p M.! x == r) xs | r <- reps ]

Once we have this function, then finding the block systems is simple - just take each pair {x1,xi} from X, and find the minimal block containing it.

Birds of Namibia
Introduction: Spotting a yellow-bellied eremomela (Eremomela icteropygialis) is far more likely in savannah woodland than in shrubland or a rocky hillside or a garden. Groups of up to 8 are usual.Distribution: Of the 6 species recorded in southern Africa, 3 are found in Namibia. E.i. icteropygialis prefer the central and southern regions of Namibia, E.i. sharpei dominate the north and some north-eastern regions, whilst E.i. viriitincta are confined to the Kwando/Chobe/Zambezi River systems.
Diet: Searches twigs and foliage, working from the base up to the tops of bushes for termites, beetles, ants, caterpillars, fruits, seeds and nectar.Description: Yellow-rump (icteropygialis), greyish white breast and upper belly, brownish grey tail and pale olive to brownish-grey crown to upper tail colouring.
Breeding: A nest consists of a tidy thin-walled cup made of dry grass and plant fibres, bound by spider web. In May, the female lays 2 or 3 eggs which are incubated for around 14 days.
Size: 10cm. Weight: 9g.

What Will Power the Future of Trains – Hydrogen or Batteries?
Trains may seem outdated to some, but they're one of the most eco-friendly modes of transportation. Even diesel trains produce fewer emissions per passenger per kilometer than cars and planes. Electric trains are also gaining popularity, with both battery-powered and hydrogen options available. Given current climate concerns, the move to electric trains is inevitable. It's not a question of whether railroads will go electric, but rather how they'll do so. Both hydrogen and batteries show significant promise, but which technology will become the standard for future locomotives? The hydrogen-versus-batteries debate isn't a new one, and it likely won't go away … Continue reading
