FIFA task force requests stronger sanctions against racism and discrimination
© Foto-net
The newly created FIFA Task Force Against Racism and Discrimination, chaired by FIFA Vice-President and CONCACAF President Jeffrey Webb, held its first meeting today at the Home of FIFA in Zurich. In this first session, the debates focused on the application of sanctions in cases of racist and discriminative acts, specifically studying the proposal to uniformly implement the sanctions that already exist in the FIFA regulations in a stronger and more consistent manner.
The task force made the following proposals, which will be included in a draft resolution to be presented at the FIFA Congress in Mauritius at the end of May:
- Firstly, having an official at the stadium who would identify potential acts of discrimination with the aim of easing the pressure on referees and facilitating the availability of evidence, which is not always easy to obtain, for the disciplinary committees to take decisions;
- Secondly, applying sanctions in two stages, with a list of applicable sanctions for a first or a minor offence, such as a warning, a fine, or the playing of a match behind closed doors, and a list of stronger sanctions for reoffenders or for serious incidents, such as point deductions, expulsion from a competition, or relegation;
- Thirdly, emphasis on the responsibility of member associations and clubs for the actions of their players, officials and supporters, and on the need to implement the existing sanctions in a harmonised way across all confederations, member associations and leagues, with a proposal to request that clubs and member associations provide a concrete action plan showing their intention to fight any forms of racism and discrimination among their supporters.
"We have a special responsibility in the way we can impact football and society," said Webb during his opening remarks. "One of the opportunities this task force has is its vast reach throughout FIFA's 209 member associations, where we can implement the resolutions in every region and every country where football is played, bringing universality to the mechanisms that combat racism and discrimination."
The following people took part in today's meeting, which was opened by FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter: Jeffrey Webb (FIFA Vice-President, President of CONCACAF); Darren Bailey (Director of The Football Association's Football Governance and Regulation) who was representing David Bernstein, President of The FA, for this session; Yury Boychenko (Chief of the Anti-Discrimination Section at the United Nations Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner) who was replacing the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navanethem PILLAY; Serey Die (Ivory Coast player at FC Basel); Gianni Merlo (AIPS President); Marcel Mathier (Outgoing chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee); Osasu Obayiuwana (Associate Editor of New African Magazine); Piara Powar (CEO of FARE); Theo van Seggelen (FIFPro Secretary General); Claudio Sulser (Incoming chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee); Howard Webb (FIFA Referee); Véron Mosengo-Omba (UEFA); Dr Thomas Partl (UEFA). The players Jozy Altidore and Kevin-Prince Boateng, who had obligations with their respective clubs, were excused for this first session of the task force.
It should be noted that this is still an open list and additional members may be included in the task force in the future.


DOM Range Deletions

Message-ID: <_EMAIL_-a-geek.net>
I've been trying to implement DOM Range but can't work out how ranges
are supposed to work under mutation.
In the following examples I use *this* to indicate a range being deleted
and slashes to indicate another range.
Section 2.6 - Deleting Content with a Range gives the example of
Section 2.12.2 - Deletions says:
"If a boundary-point of the original Range is within the content being
deleted, then after the deletion it will be at the same position as the
resulting boundary-point of the (now collapsed) Range used to delete the
We then have the example of:
ABCD efgh T*he Range* ijkl
 / \
Goes to
ABCD ange ijkl
 / \
The two examples seem to operate on documents with the same structure,
and therefore the range being deleted should collapse to the same place
(just before the BAR or EM tag). Why does the start point of the range
end up inside the "ange" text node rather than in the P with offset 1
(i.e. after "ABCD ")?

WAGONS AS MEMORIALISATION
On the B6213 Fountain Street roundabout in Morley, south east of Leeds, stands a Hudson V-skip tipper wagon, spilling its load of flowers into the surrounding flowerbed. The wagon originally formed part of the Leeds Industrial Museum collection, but was deaccessioned in the 1990s. It presumably memorialises the Robert Hudson connection with the town, both through ownership of collieries and the nearby location of the wagon works.
It is a very relevant example of the use of disused industrial wagons to act as memorials to now-vanished mines, quarries and other activities. Mine wagons especially can be found all over the world marking places that have lost a principal reason for being, a major employer, a maker and destroyer of local landscapes, a site of tragedy or the glue that held a community together. So meaningful are these objects that in some cases, if no original wagons have survived, replicas have been constructed (e.g. Wallyford, Lothian, a wagon memorialising miners killed in local mines). This can be confusing for historians of wagons!
It is of course very likely that some of these wagons will have originated in Leeds. This research has not located a gazeteer of these memorials, though they are regularly reported in the publications of the Industrial Railway Society.

Provision of Nutrients to Young Santalum album L. by Different Host Species
Due to the increasing demand and market price established for its valuable fragrant essential
oil produced in the heartwood, Santalum album is subjected to over-exploitation for a long
period in Sri Lanka. Since it is a hemi-parasitic tree which has the ability of absorbing certain
nutrients from other host tree species via root connections, a comprehensive understanding of
S. album-host relationship is of major importance in both commercial and conservation
Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the ability of supplying nitrogen,
phosphorous, potassium and magnesium to young S. album plants by different host species. A
S. album-host trial plantation located in Balangoda of Rathnapura District belonging to WM3
agro-ecological zone was used for this purpose. This trial consisted of 20 different
combinations of two hosts of Sesbenia grandiflora, Gliricidia sepium, Grevillea robusta,
Calliandra calothyrus, Erythrina variegate, Acacia auriculiformis and Coffea arabica per S.
album. Leaf samples from S. album plants were collected for five times, from November
2012 to October 2014. Total nitrogen content was determined using Micro-Kjeldhal method
while the potassium and magnesium levels were determined using atomic absorption
spectroscopy for the collected leaves. Phosphorous content was analysed by colourimetric
determination using a spectrophotometer.
According to the results, G. sepium/S. grandiflora host combination provided the highest
nitrogen content. Two G. robusta plants provided the highest potassium level while the host
combination of G. sepium/G. robusta provided the highest phosphorous content for S. album.
The highest magnesium content was observed in the combination with two G. sepium plants.
However, One-way ANOVA did not indicate any significant difference for the tested
nutrients in S. album leaves.

libBGPStream Tutorial
libBGPStream is a C library that facilitate the creation of a sorted stream of BGP records.
Below we provide the following tutorials:
Get familiar with the API: count the BGP elems
In this example we show how to use most of the C library API functions to count the BGP elems in the current stream. The example is fully functioning and it can be compiled and run using the following commands (example code):
$ gcc ./bgpstream-tutorial.c -lbgpstream -o ./tutorial
$ ./tutorial
Read 5519 elems
The program instantiates an instance of BGPStream that uses the CAIDA broker as data interface (default), and it counts the elems that match the filters (collectors, record type, and time).
Step by step description
The first step in each program using libBGPStream, is to allocate memory for a BGPStream instance and for a pointer for BGPStream record. The latter is a pointer pointing to the most recent record read.
bgpstream_t *bs = bs = bgpstream_create();
bgpstream_record_t *rec;
The second step consists in customizing the stream using the project, collector, type, and time interval filters. The time interval filter is mandatory, whereas the others are optional. In this specific case, we are configuring the stream to return the BGP records read from Updates dumps generated by RRC06 and Route View Jinx collectors, having a timestamp in the interval 10:10:10 - 11:11:11 Sun, 10 Oct 2010 GMT.
bgpstream_add_filter(bs, BGPSTREAM_FILTER_TYPE_COLLECTOR, "rrc06"); bgpstream_add_filter(bs, BGPSTREAM_FILTER_TYPE_COLLECTOR, "route-views.jinx"); bgpstream_add_filter(bs, BGPSTREAM_FILTER_TYPE_RECORD_TYPE, "updates"); bgpstream_add_interval_filter(bs,_PHONE_,_PHONE_);
At this point we can start the stream, and repeatedly ask for new BGP records and BGP elems (the elem pointer points to memory that is borrowed from BGPStream, one has to use the API copy function to own the memory). Each time a valid record is read, we extract the elems that it contains, and we increment a counter.
bgpstream_elem_t *elem;
while((ret = bgpstream_get_next_record(bs, &rec))>0)
{
 if(rec->status == BGPSTREAM_RECORD_STATUS_VALID_RECORD)
 {
 while(bgpstream_record_get_next_elem (rec, &elem)>0)
 {
 elem_counter++;
 }
 }
}
Once the entire stream has been read, we can print the results, and de-allocate the memory the BGPStream instance.
printf("\tRead %d elems\n", elem_counter);
bgpstream_destroy(bs);
Complete Example
Get the code.
#include <stdio.h>
#include "bgpstream.h"
int
main()
{
 /* Allocate memory for a bgpstream instance */
 bgpstream_t *bs = bs = bgpstream_create();
 if(!bs) {
 fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: Could not create BGPStream instance\n");
 return -1;
 }
 bgpstream_record_t *rec;
 /* The broker interface is set by default */
 /* Select bgp data from RRC06 and route-views.jinx collectors only */
 bgpstream_add_filter(bs, BGPSTREAM_FILTER_TYPE_COLLECTOR, "rrc06");
 bgpstream_add_filter(bs, BGPSTREAM_FILTER_TYPE_COLLECTOR, "route-views.jinx");
 /* Process updates only */
 bgpstream_add_filter(bs, BGPSTREAM_FILTER_TYPE_RECORD_TYPE, "updates");
 /* Select a time interval to process:
 * Sun, 10 Oct 2010 10:10:10 GMT - Sun, 10 Oct 2010 11:11:11 GMT */
 bgpstream_add_interval_filter(bs,_PHONE_,_PHONE_);
 /* Start bgpstream */
 if(bgpstream_start(bs) < 0) {
 fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: Could not init BGPStream\n");
 return -1;
 }
 int ret;
 int get_next_ret = 0;
 int elem_counter = 0;
 /* Pointer to a bgpstream elem, memory is borrowed from bgpstream,
 * use the elem_copy function to own the memory */
 bgpstream_elem_t *elem;
 /* Read the stream of records */
 while((ret = bgpstream_get_next_record(bs, &rec))>0)
 {
 /* Get next record */
 /* Check if there are new records and if they are valid records */
 if(rec->status == BGPSTREAM_RECORD_STATUS_VALID_RECORD)
 {
 /* Get next elem in the record */
 while(bgpstream_record_get_next_elem (rec, &elem)>0)
 {
 elem_counter++;
 }
 }
 }
 /* Print the number of elems */
 printf("\tRead %d elems\n", elem_counter);
 /* De-allocate memory for the bgpstream */
 bgpstream_destroy(bs);
 return 0;
}
Prefix monitoring
In this second example, we show how to implement a program that outputs all the announcements and withdrawal messages for a specific prefix, 2403:f600::/32, observed by Route Views 2 and RRC00 during the time interval 01:20:10 - 06:32:15 on Tue, 12 Aug 2014 UTC. The example is fully functioning and it can be compiled and run using the following commands:
$ gcc ./bgpstream-pfx-mon.c -lbgpstream -o ./pfx-monitoring
$ ./pfx-monitoring

I guess I should spare you from explaining what a mannequin challenge is. Whether you love it or loathe it; whether you have ever been lured into posing for one or not, it might still be a fun thing to try in the classroom. "A mannequin challenge?", I hear you say.
Write "mannequin challenge" on the board and ask your students to generate questions they may think of using these two words (if they can't think of any or a few, you can write the questions yourself. For low level classes, it's ok for the students to give you their questions in their L1 language, then you can simply translate and write on the board).
- What is a mannequin challenge?
- Have you ever taken part in one?
- If not, would you like to?
- What is the title of the song that is usually played with mannequin challenges?
- Do you like mannequin challenges? Why? / Why not?
Play the video below and then ask the students to write down as many different actions as they remember from it by using the present/past continuous (whichever verb tense you would like them to practice).
If you are ok with recording a video of your students, they can pose "performing an action" and then you can record a video and then play for them to tell you what everyone is doing. If you can't or won't record a video you can still tell half your class to pose for a minute or so for the rest of the students to tell each other what everyone is doing and then they can switch roles. You may narrow this down and give them a topic, such as sports and then they have to "perform" playing a sport. Or house chores (ironing, doing the dishes, hoovering, dusting, etc.). Or jobs (a mechanic, a teacher, a bus driver, a hairdresser, etc.). What other suitable topics can you think of? Do you see yourself trying this out in your lessons? Are you up to the challenge?

The earliest known photo showing the noxious weed Asparagus fern growing on Lord Howe Island in 1923.
Recent visitor Ian Hutton, Curator from the Lord Howe Island Museum, was pleased to find this photograph showing Asparagus fern growing on the island in 1923. Anecdotally, it had previously been thought that the fern came to the island much later, brought to the island in a bridal bouquet in the 1930s. Declared a noxious weed, the fine-leafed fern is a prime target for the weed eradication programs Friends of Lord Howe Island have run regularly on the island since 1995.
The 1923 photograph was taken by Museum scientist and talented amateur photographer Anthony Musgrave in a year in which (according to the Annual Report for the year) 'On account of a shortage of funds no extended field work has been attempted this year'. Instead, Musgrave and another dedicated young scientist from the Museum, Gilbert Whitley, took a self-funded 'holiday' to Lord Howe Island to collect insects and spiders which they then presented to the Museum.

text: Separation of wavefields into directional components can be accomplished by an eigenvalue decomposition of the accompanying system matrix. In conventional pressure-normalized wavefield decomposition, the resulting one-way wave equations contain an interaction term which depends on the reflectivity function. Applying directional wavefield decomposition using flux-normalized eigenvalue decomposition, and disregarding interaction between upand downgoing wavefields, these interaction terms were absent. By also applying a correction term for transmission loss, the result was an improved estimate of the upand downgoing wavefields. In the wave equation angle transform, a crosscorrelation function in local offset coordinates was Fourier-transformed to produce an estimate of reflectivity as a function of slowness or angle. We normalized this wave equation angle transform with an estimate of the plane-wave reflection coefficient. The flux-normalized one-way wave-propagation scheme was applied to imaging and to the normalized wave equation angle-transform on synthetic and field data; this proved the effectiveness of the new methods.

above is one of the earliest known maps of the confederacy. It was printed in February 23,
1861, shortly after the secession of the southern states to form the Confederate States of America. The map appeared in the February 23, 1861 edition of Harper's Weekly. The map, for the first time, shows a nation divided; Divided, North and South, with the fate of Nations hanging in the balance.
The map contains the following title:
EAST OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS
The Union States are shown in Gray, and the
Confederate States are shown in White. This is one of the earliest maps of the Confederacy ever created. The
Southern States are shown to be: Texas, the Indian Territory (Oklahoma), Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida. This is a striking map, and was created before the start of the Civil War. This image of the Nation Divided must have created a sense of foreboding amongst the people of the day who saw it.


What is a 3node gateway? How can I configure a 3node as a gateway node?
What is a 3node gateway? How can I configure a 3node as a gateway node?
We explain what is a 3node gateway and give the basic steps on how to configure a 3node as a gateway node.
A big thank you to @ParkerS for his amazing video on the subject.
Table of Contents
What is a 3node gateway?
A 3node becomes a gateway when a Threefold farmer adds a public IP address to the node itself on the Threefold Dashboard. In doing so, the IP address is then handed over to the base operating system of the node itself. The IP address can then be used in the overall functions of the TF Grid.
Note that this process differs from when an IP address that has been added to a farm is deployed with a workload in order for that workload to be accessible on the Internet.
How can I configure a 3node as a gateway node?
Note that to configure a 3node as a gateway node, you need a public IP block from your internet service provider (ISP).
You can configure a 3node as a gateway node on the TF mainnet, TF testnet and TF devnet. You thus need to choose the correct TF Dashboard link (main, test, dev).
To configure a 3node as a gateway node, follow these steps:
 - Configure your DNS records
 - Type: A
 - Name: <YOUR_SUBDOMAIN>
 - Value: <YOUR_IPv4_ADDRESS>
 - Type: NS
 - Name: _acme-challenge.<YOUR_SUBDOMAIN>
 - Value: <YOUR_SUBDOMAIN>.<YOUR_DOMAIN>
 - Type: CNAME
 - Name: *.<YOUR_SUBDOMAIN>.<YOUR_DOMAIN>
 - Value: <YOUR_SUBDOMAIN>
 - Type: AAAA
 - Name: <YOUR_SUBDOMAIN>
 - Value: <YOUR_IPv6_ADDRESS>
 - Configure your 3node parameters on the TF Dashboard
 - Go to the Threefold Dashboard
 - Go to the section Portal
 - Go to the subsection Farms
 - Choose the 3node you want to turn into a gateway node and click on Actions (Add a public config) on the right
 - Enter the necessary information and click Save
 - IPV4: Enter the IPv4 address of your public IP block
 - Gateway: Enter the gateway of your public IP block
 - IPV6: Enter the IPv6 address of your public IP block
 - Gateway IPV6: Enter the gateway of your public IP block
 - Domain: <YOUR_SUBDOMAIN>.<YOUR_DOMAIN>
Once this is done, you should see the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in the section PUB of your 3node screen.

NEBRASKA AIR NATIONAL GUARD AIR BASE, Neb. --
In an effort to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak and to continue executing rapid global mobility operations, the U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command sent multiple airframes to participate in particle and airflow testing at Nebraska Air National Guard air base, Nebraska, April 4-11, 2020.
The weeklong test brought active-duty, reserve and Air National Guard components from AMC together to preserve the nation's operational capability to meet its global mobility requirements, which starts with protecting the force.
"United States Transportation Command expressed a joint, urgent, operational need request for high-capacity airlift of COVID-19 passengers," said Maj. Dave Sustello, AMC Test and Evaluation Squadron operations officer.
Air Mobility Command, in coordination with the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, spent the week at the 155th Air Refueling Wing examining airflow and particles to assess ways to eliminate risk to aircrew. The first set of airflow tests were conducted on the KC-135 Stratotanker, C-17 Globemaster III and C-130J Hercules aircraft, followed by tests on the KC-46 Pegasus, KC-10 Extender and C-5M Super Galaxy aircraft.
"[We're] evaluating different air frames for the ability to transport potentially symptomatic patients safely while protecting aircrew and medical personnel," said Dr. Joshua Santarpia, UNMC Microbiology and Pathology associate professor. "[To do this, we're] looking at what happens to particles produced by people and how they might move around the airframe."
Experts from multiple scientific fields used a method of dispersing aerosol DNA tag beads during the testing process, a concept Santarpia invented two years ago.
After the beads were released, multiple tests were performed in the air and on the ground. These included taping off and numbering small areas of the aircraft's floor to capture surface samples.
"Basically, we run multiple tasks on an airframe to understand if bead one, released at the rear of the aircraft, made it up to the front; or if bead two, released in the middle of the plane, [made] it up to the front of the aircraft," said Dillan Cunningham, NSRI Special Projects and Extensive Field Sampling Expertise director. "We can look at their spread in real-time … to make sure that they are representative of a particular size of interest relative to the spread of different potential infectious substances."
Cunningham cited understanding the airframe's aero dynamics–the airflow–as vital to minimizing infectious molecule spread within the aircraft. This includes directing airflow to segregate the cabin and crew to minimize exposure.
"The best potential way to achieve success of this mission is understanding the best configuration to transport personnel, service men and women, and everyone else back home for treatment without potentially infecting everyone, endangering other people and putting undue risk and burden on the crew," Cunningham said.
Sustello credited UNMC and all the entities that took part in supporting this mission to preserve and protect the health of the mobility force.
"This was world-class support," Sustello said. "Anything and everything that we've asked for they've been able to provide, and I'm seeing that that Nebraska work ethic shine through."
The 155th ARW was selected for the high priority mission because of the proximity of the airbase, allowing multiple aircraft to fly in and remain on the ramp space provided.
"The testing that took place this week is all about mitigating the risk to our Airmen while providing combatant commanders around the world with the capability to rapidly repatriate personnel who are either infected or exposed to COVID-19," said Col. John Williams, 155th Air Refueling Wing Operations Group commander
?. "The research is not just applicable to the current outbreak. The lessons learned here in Nebraska will be valuable to future operations as well."

Dana Swarbrick, Dan Bosnyak, Steven R Livingston, Jotthi Bansal, Susan Marsh Rollo, Matthew H Woolhouse, and Laurel J Trainor (2019)
Frontiers in Psychology, 9(2682).
A live music concert is a pleasurable social event that is among the most visceral and memorable forms of musical engagement. But what inspires listeners to attend concerts, sometimes at great expense, when they could listen to recordings at home? An iconic aspect of popular concerts is engaging with other audience members through moving to the music. Head movements, in particular, reflect emotion and have social consequences when experienced with others. Previous studies have explored the affiliative social engagement experienced among people moving together to music. But live concerts have other features that might also be important, such as that during a live performance the music unfolds in a unique and not predetermined way, potentially increasing anticipation and feelings of involvement for the audience. Being in the same space as the musicians might also be exciting. Here we controlled for simply being in an audience to examine whether factors inherent to live performance contribute to the concert experience. We used motion capture to compare head movement responses at a live album release concert featuring Canadian rock star Ian Fletcher Thornley, and at a concert without the performers where the same songs were played from the recorded album. We also examined effects of a prior connection with the performers by comparing fans and neutral-listeners, while controlling for familiarity with the songs, as the album had not yet been released. Head movements were faster during the live concert than the album-playback concert. Self-reported fans moved faster and exhibited greater levels of rhythmic entrainment than neutral-listeners. These results indicate that live music engages listeners to a greater extent than pre-recorded music and that a pre-existing admiration for the performers also leads to higher engagement.

I'm looking for a word which describes a certain motion, a way of moving. Namely, I'm searching for a word which describes how a kaleidoscope moves when you turn it, or how a web moves when you pinch it in one location and drag that point around. This motion is distinctive in that if one location in the object moves then every other point moves in a complicated but, nonetheless, a systematic and fluid way.
I will be very sad if no such word exists.
I'm going to ask that everyone ignore my web analogy. That motion is distinctive to the idea I'm trying to capture. Here are a couple gifs that exemplify what I have in mind:
In addition to what I have said, this movement is interesting in that moving one point causes all the other points to move, but changing the root point you move does not alter how the other points were moving when you were moving the original vantage point.
I think I'll have to give up and just go with kaleidoscopic.

'Kaleidoscope' means either the instrument, or 'any complex pattern of frequently / constantly changing shapes and colours' (or 'a complicated set of circumstances') [AHDEL] – Edwin Ashworth Apr 9 at 21:04
Sphere is animated hyperbolic tessellation. 4-d Rotation is animated topological transformation. Kaleidoscope is animated Cartesian tessellation. – Aaron K Apr 9 at 22:41
The sphere gif reminds me of a gyroscope. – JLG Apr 9 at 23:45

I do not think that the motion in webs and kaleidoscopes are described by exactly the same phenomenon. I think that Voronoi Diagrams and Delaunay Triangulation would be most interesting to your inquiry about webs. I would call their motion "Voronoi optimizations." Hyperbolic tessellations are more closely related to kaleidoscopes and I would describe their motion as simply "kaleidoscopic."

Everything you've mentioned is interesting. And I feel like moving hyperbolic tessellations capture what I want (or higher-dimensional analogs). I guess I'll have to settle for kaleidoscopic. – Bryan Apr 9 at 22:41
I'm sure it will be better than "Voronoi/Delaunay Triangulation Optimization Diagram-ic" would be. – Oldcat Apr 9 at 23:27
These are not specific to that kind of movement, but:
 - meshed
 - harmonious/harmonized - if you're emphasizing the beauty/symmetry, I'd favor this
 - synchronized

"Kinematic" might be applicable in this case. Let me know what you think of that word as a solution to your query.

Unfortunately, I can't find anything that defines this word independently of 'kinematics' which is a field of study of body movements. Can you define it for me? – Bryan Apr 9 at 22:34
I think the words transformation, distortion, and permutation are all suitable. Even diffusion and refraction works. These are all utilitarian but easily understood.
I however like phantasmagorial
 - a confusing or strange scene that is like a dream because it is always changing in an odd way.
 - a constantly changing medley or real or imagined images (as in a dream)

This almost fits what I want, but I don't want the overtones of 'phantasm' or 'other-wordly.' – Bryan Apr 9 at 22:35
Consider simply using "kaleidoscopic."
kaleidoscopic: changing form, pattern, color, etc., in the manner of a kaleidoscope.

Psychedelic is often associated with the vivid colours and complex patterns of a kaleidoscope. If you added kinetic as in kinetic art I think that would paint a appropriate image.

. However, the interactions between genes and also between environmental factors and genes are generally considered fundamental in calcium stone formation. Thus, the genetic studies carried out to date have not led to a significant growth of the knowledge about the causes of calcium kidney stones, even though they have allowed us to assess the size of the problem and define criteria to address it. Further knowledge of the causes of calcium stones may be obtained using the instruments that modern biotechnology and bioinformatics have made available to researchers.

EFFICIENT DYNAMIC MULTILEVEL PRIORITY TASK SCHEDULING FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
Mrs. K.Indumathi, Mrs. M. Santhi?
Abstract
Most of the existing packet-scheduling mechanism of WSN use First Come First Served (FCFS),non-preemptive priority and preemptive priority scheduling algorithms. These algorithms incur a high processing overhead and long end-to-end data transmission delay due to improper allocation of data packets to queues in multilevel queue scheduling algorithms. Moreover, these algorithms are not dynamic to the changing requirements of WSN applications since their scheduling policies are predetermined. This paper proposes a Dynamic Multilevel Priority (DMP) packet scheduling scheme, deal with the circular wait and preemptive conditions. In proposed scheme, WSN has three levels of priority queues. Real-time packets are placed into the highest-priority queue and can preempt data packets in other queues. Non-real-time packets are placed into two other queues based on a certain threshold of their estimated processing time. Leaf nodes have two queues for real-time and non-real-time data packets since they do not receive data from other nodes and thus, reduce end-to-end. Improve the performance of task scheduling schemes in terms of end to end delay and deadlock prevention.

Some bypass configs use 3 valves, others use 2, or even just one along with check valves. In the 3 or 2 valve situation, there are multiple valves to move when switching between bypass and normal. There will be cold water inlet to water heater tank at the bottom and hot water out of the top of the tank. Water flows in the direction of the long axis of the valve handles so you can visualize the flow direction. For normal operation the water should be allowed into the bottom of the tank and out of the top of the tank, while the bypass line should be blocked. Bypass mode should be the opposite for each valve.
One valve system, normal operation


This is all very cool, but I suggest you don't over-use it: functions are a clearer way of passing parameters.
super is used when combining two objects (obj1 + obj2), and in obj2 you want to access a value from obj1 which would otherwise be hidden by the replacement field from obj2. This is especially useful for arrays.
For array transformations other than a simple append, you'll need to replace the field with an entirely new array value derived from the previous one. For example, this is how you can remove the front value from an array:
local obj = {
foo:: 123,
bar:: 456,
baz:: 789,
items: [self.foo, self.bar, self.baz],
};
obj {
items: super.items[1:],
}
This is replacing the items field with an expression which uses the items value from the first object. Think of the first object as sitting in a layer beneath the second: it's hidden by the second, but still accessible via super.
Documentation
I hope that has given you a basic flavour of jsonnet, and now you may wish to review the documentation. The information is spread around a bit⁴: I found the language reference to be the most approachable, but it does not mention some features which are shown in the tutorial, and vice versa. You should also skim through the standard library.
In part two, I'm going to show some specific patterns that I've found helpful when composing kubernetes resources, with a full worked example.
⁰ Beware, the expression does not necessarily follow -e immediately; there could be other flags. So jsonnet -e '-42' fails, because it treats -4 as if it were a flag. To fix, use jsonnet -e -- '-42'
¹ It's good style to include the trailing commas, and jsonnetfmt will add them for you.
² When returning an object, you could write either:
function(args) {
field: value,
}
or:
function(args)
{
field: value,
}
jsonnetfmt permits (and preserves) both styles. The former uses less indentation, and is consistent with how you create nested objects. The latter lets you insert 'local' definitions prior to the returned object without re-indenting (although you can also put 'local' definitions inside the object). Use whichever you prefer.
³ There's also a special variable $ which means "the top-level object" in the current expression.
⁴ In addition: some language features are mentioned but not defined, such as arr[10:20:2] — you're expected to go to Python documentation to understand that. And some keywords are not documented at all. But these documentation weaknesses are really the only problems I've found with jsonnet.

About Crioda, King of West Saxons
Creoda of Wessex (b. c. 493) is a shadowy figure in early Wessex history, mentioned only in the regnal list in the preface of the Anglo-Saxon chronicle. There he is stated to have been the son of Cerdic and father to Cynric.

Some authorities question Creoda's insertion as a generation between Cerdic and Cynric.
reoda of Wessex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whether or not Creola was a son of Cerdic and father of Cynric is notcertain. From the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Winchester Manuscript,Cynric is listed as the son of Cerdic. However the Abingdon andWorcester Manuscripts have Creola as the son of Cerdic and father ofCynric. Creola is included here to allow for the possibility that hewas the son of Cerdic
 Bestaan van deze persoon is niet bewezen. Volgens overlevering is zijn zoon Cynric eigenlijk de directe zoon van Cerdic (de vader van Creoda).
Creoda was a co-Ruler of West Saxons, before 534. Creoda isn't mentioned by every authority, but Royalty For Commoners does include him. Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists Who Came to America before 1700 does too, by omission. However, in fairness, even the Anglo-Saxon Chronical skips Creoda. However, if one examines the ages, the Creoda generation does make sense.
"By some accounts he also reigned jointly (519-534) with his grandfather (or father?), Cerdic, founder of Wessex." -------------------- Born Wessex, England 493. -------------------- There is an unsolved mystery surrounding the name of Creoda (also Cretta or Crida). The name of Creoda is a highly rare name - in fact, only four times the name 'Creoda', in its' various spellings, is mentioned during the 600 years history of Anglo-Saxons, and the place names connected somehow to the name of Creoda are few, and are located not far from the city of Cirencester:
1) Creoda, King of Mercians, who claimed to be descendant of Icel, and alleged first King of Mercia.
2) Certain 'Creoda' King of West Saxons appears in some ancient regnal lists, but about whom nothing is known.
3) Cretta who appears in the list of the ancestors, or possibly Kings, of Aldfrith,ill-fated and the only known King of Lindsey.
4) Certain Crida, who is once mentioned is 'Anglo-Saxon Chronicle' 593:
'Ceawiln, Cwichelm and Crida perished…'.
All the variations: Critta,Crida and Creoda are almost certainly,the different spellings of the same name, and at least three of the above mentioned persons (Creoda of Mercia, Critta of Lindsey and, of course, Crida of 'Anglo-Saxon Chronicle') are known to have died about the same time - about the end of the sixth century, so they probably, or even almost certainly were the same person.
A number of different explanations were made, but the most probable theory relays to the name of Creoda's alleged father Venta. 'Venta' is not a name, either British or English, but a name of a place: Venta, or in Roman: 'Caistor-next-Norwich', a place in Norfolk, which might have been a residence of unknown East Anglian Kings, if in the late 5th or in 6th century East Anglia, before it's history was beginning to be recorded, was devided into two Kingdoms (see: Kingdom of East Anglia).
This Creoda might have been the King of Northern East Anglia, and who was expelled in or before the year 571, when East Anglian King Wuffa annexed Norfolk and expelled its' ruler, after what event English led by Creoda moved westwords, were he created (at least he is listed as the first King of these Kingdoms) the Kingdoms of Lindsey and Mercia, probably in this order. It is also plausible, that Creoda himself was the King of the whole Kingdom of East Anlgia, whom Wuffa, son of Wehha, whom the posterity made the first,or one of the firts,legitimate ruler of East Angles, expelled from his domains, but it is unprobabe, since there is no mention of such King of East Anglia in any existent regnal lists or ancient historical writings or documents.The exact date of Creoda's death is given in 'Anglo-Saxon Chronicle' 593, according to which he 'perished' along with Ceawlin, King of Wessex (what may eliminate the possibility, that this Creoda might also have been a sole King of West Saxons, though he might have been a joint ruler with this Ceawlin - nothing is known about this West Saxon Creoda who appears in some ancient regnal lists as King of West Saxons - it probably was, if he ever existed, another 'Creoda') and Cwichhelm (probably some local West Saxon lord).
According to the Mercian traditions and genealogies, the name of Creoda's father was 'Cynewald' and although nothing, except his name, is known about him, this is the most plausible version, since the name 'Cynewald' is a real English name, of, probably, an existing person. In old West Saxon regnal list were Creoda's name appears as King of Wessex, his father is unnamed and unknown.
Creoda from Lindsey left issue: son named Cueldgils,who might have been the next King of Lindsey, but of whom nothing is known.The Mercian Creoda left another son, named Pybba or Pypba, who appeared is some old Mercian regnal lists, and who later became a King of Mercia.
-------------------- Cerdic was allegedly the first King of Anglo-Saxon Wessex from 519 to 534, cited by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as the founder of the Kingdom of Wessex and ancestor of all its subsequent kings.
According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Cerdic landed in Hampshire in 495 with his son Cynric in five ships. He is said to have fought a Brittonic king named Natanleod at Netley Marsh in Hampshire and killed him thirteen years later (in 508) and to have fought at Cerdicesleag (Charford, Cerdic's Ford[1]) in 519, after which he became first king of Wessex. The conquest of the Isle of Wight is also mentioned among his campaigns, and it was later given to his kinsmen, Stuf and Wihtgar (who had supposedly arrived with the West Saxons in 514). Cerdic died in 534 and was succeeded by his son Cynric.

G type base station.
The second type is a CSG base station and does not allow access to a micro-terminal of an existing macro terminal or another micro base station, and therefore handover to a CSG base station is also impossible.
Intercell interference adjustment ICIC )
Interference between neighboring cells may be a problem in the heterogeneous network environment as described above. Intercell interference coordination (ICIC) can be applied to solve the problem of inter-cell interference. Conventional ICICs can be applied to frequency resources or to time resources.
As an example of an ICIC for frequency resources, the 3GPP LTE Release-8 system divides a given total frequency domain (e.g., system bandwidth) into one or more sub-regions (e.g., physical resource block (PRB) Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > ICIC < / RTI > messages for the frequency subareas of cells. For example, Relative Narrowband Transmission Power (RNTP) related to downlink transmission power is defined as information included in an ICIC message for a frequency resource, UL IOI (Interference Overhead Indication), UL HII High Interference Indication) are defined.
RNTP is information indicating the downlink transmission power used by a cell transmitting an ICIC message in a specific frequency sub-region. For example, if the RNTP field for a specific frequency sub-region is set to a first value (for example, 0), it means that the downlink transmission power of the corresponding cell in the frequency sub-region does not exceed a predetermined threshold value . Alternatively, the fact that the RNTP field for a specific frequency sub-region is set to a second value (for example, 1) may mean that the corresponding cell can not make an appointment for the downlink transmission power in the frequency sub-region . In other words, if the value of the RNTP field is 0, it can be considered that the downlink transmission power of the corresponding cell in the corresponding frequency sub-region is low. However, if the value of the RNTP field is 1, The downlink transmission power can not be regarded as low.
The UL IOI is information indicating the amount of uplink interference that a cell transmitting an ICIC message experiences (or receives) in a specific frequency sub-region. For example, if the IOI field for a specific frequency sub-region is set to a value corresponding to a high interference amount, it may mean that the corresponding cell undergoes strong uplink interference in the corresponding frequency sub-region. In a frequency sub-region corresponding to an IOI indicating a strong uplink interference, a cell receiving an ICIC message can schedule a UE using a low uplink transmission power among the serving subscribers. Accordingly, since the UEs perform uplink transmission with a low transmission power in the frequency sub-region corresponding to the IOI indicating strong uplink interference, the uplink interference experienced by the neighboring cell (i.e., the cell that transmitted the ICIC message) is mitigated .
UL HII is information indicating the degree of interference (or uplink interference sensitivity) that an uplink transmission in a cell that transmits an ICIC message can cause for the frequency sub-region. For example, if the HII field is set to a first value (for example, 1) for a specific frequency sub-region, a cell transmitting an ICIC message schedules a UE with strong uplink transmission power for the corresponding frequency sub-region This can mean that there is a possibility. On the other hand, when the HII field is set to a second value (for example, 0) for a specific frequency sub-region, the possibility that a cell transmitting an ICIC message schedules a UE with a weak uplink transmission power for the frequency sub- . On the other hand, the cell receiving the ICIC message preferentially schedules the terminal in the frequency sub-region in which the HII is set to the second value (for example, 0) and the frequency sub-region in which the HII is set to the first value (for example, It is possible to avoid interference from cells transmitting ICIC messages by scheduling terminals that can operate well even in strong interference.
On the other hand, in the 3GPP LTE-A (or 3GPP LTE Release-10) system as an example of the ICIC for time resources, a given total time domain is divided into one or more sub-regions (e.g., sub-frame units) And a method of exchanging whether or not silencing of the time subregion is performed between cells is defined. The cell transmitting the ICIC message can transmit information indicating that the silencing is performed in a specific subframe to the neighboring cells and does not schedule the PDSCH or the PUSCH in the corresponding subframe. On the other hand, in the cell receiving the ICIC message, the uplink and / or downlink transmission to the UE can be scheduled on the subframe in which the silencing is performed in the cell transmitting the ICIC message.
Silence may refer to an operation in which a particular cell does not perform most signal transmissions on the uplink and downlink in a particular subframe (or transmission of zero or weak power is performed). As an example of silencing, a particular cell may set a particular subframe to ABS (Almost Blank Subframe, ABS). There are two types of ABS as shown in FIG. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6A, when a cell specific reference signal (CRS) is transmitted but the data area is left empty (ABS in normal subframe) and when a CRS is not transmitted (ABS in MBSFN subframe). In case of ABS in normal subframe, the influence of interference by CRS may exist somewhat. Therefore, although the ABS in MBSFN subframe is advantageous in terms of interference, its use is limited, so two types of ABS can be used in combination.
Handover ( Handover ) / Random access procedure ( Random Access Procedure )
Hereinafter, the handover and random access procedure performed in the LTE system will be described in detail.
7 is a diagram for explaining a handover procedure. Referring to FIG. 7, the UE 700 monitors measurement values from neighboring serving eNBs 710 and neighboring serving cells, and when a handover trigger occurs, the serving BS 710 , A measurement report message is transmitted (S701). Here, the measurement report may include a reference signal receive power (RSRP), a received signal strength indicator (RSSI), a reference signal received quality (RSRQ), and the like.
RSRP is a measurement value obtained by measuring the size of CRS in the downlink. The RSSI is a total received power value received by the corresponding terminal, and is a measurement value including interference and noise power from neighboring cells. RSRQ is a value measured in the form of N * RSRP / RSSI, where N is the number of RBs of the corresponding bandwidth in RSSI measurement.
The measurement report can be determined by the event based measurement report decision as follows.
i) If the measured value for the serving cell is greater than the absolute threshold (Serving cell becomes better than absolute threshold)
ii) If the measured value for the serving cell becomes less than the absolute threshold (Serving cell becomes worse than absolute threshold)
iii) when the measured value for the neighboring cell is greater than the measured value of the serving cell by an offset value (the neighboring cell becomes better than an offset relative to the serving cell)
iv) If the measured value for the neighboring cell is greater than the absolute threshold (Neighboring cell becomes better than absolute threshold)
If the measured value for the serving cell is less than the absolute threshold and the measured value for the neighboring cell is greater than another absolute threshold value (i.e., one absolute threshold and the neighboring cell becomes better than another absolute threshold)
Here, the measured value may be RSRP or the like mentioned above.
And may be set to transmit a measurement report only when each condition of the measurement report determination described above is maintained for more than a predetermined time set in the network.
The case of iii) in the measurement report determination criterion will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. The UE continuously measures RSRP and the like with respect to a serving cell and a neighboring cell. When a predetermined time (time to trigger) has elapsed (t2) from a time t1 during which the RS continues to approach the neighboring cell and the RSRP for the neighboring cell becomes larger than the RSRP of the serving cell by an offset value, The measurement report can be performed in the cell. Here, the offset value and the predetermined time and the like can be set by the network.
Subsequently, the serving base station 710 receiving the measurement report from the terminal 700 transmits a handover request message (Handover request) to the target base station 720 (S702). At this time, the serving base station 710 provides Radio Resource Control (RRC) context information of the terminal 700 to the target base station 720.
The target BS 720 determines whether to perform a handover of the MS based on the RRC context information. When the handover is determined, the target base station 720 generates a handover command, and the serving base station 710 transmits an RRC connection reconfiguration (RRConnectionReconfiguration) message including a handover command to the terminal 700 (S704). The RRC connection re-establishment

A common task when programming with GTViewer or GTVx is to get the Linkage off of an element (for more info on linkages, look here). For example, if an event were fired indicating that an element had been selected, you get the Category Id and the Element Offset of the selected element as parameters in the event. So, how do you get the Linkage stored on the element so that you can lookup database information? It turns out that there are several ways to do this, but I am going to provide a generic approach that should work for most cases.
It turns out that there is a method provided by both GTViewer and GTVx to retrieve the linkage from an element. It is aptly named GetElementLinkage; however, it returns an array of linkage values (since GTViewer data can have 1 to 7 linkage values per element). Most datasets use a 1 or 2 key linkage system and it sometimes, so it sometimes seems cumbersome to deal with an array when you know you will always be getting one or two linkage values. It is pretty easy to write a function in VB to just return you the one key or two keys without having to deal with the array. The example below is for 2 keys, but it should be obvious how to downgrade this code to a 1 key version.
Function GetElementLinkage(ByVal categoryId As Long, _
ByVal offset As Long, _
dataId As Long, _
key1 As Long, key2 As Long) As Boolean
' This function will get the linkage off of the element specified by its
' categoryId and offset. The dataId, key1, and key2 values will be populated.
' If the element contains only a 1 key linkage, key2 will be 0.
' The function returns True if a linkage was found and False otherwise.
GetElementLinkage = False
Dim linkageList As Variant
Dim linkCount As Long
key1 = 0
key2 = 0
If docObj.GetElementLinkage(categoryId, offset, linkageList, linkCount) Then
dataId = docObj.GetDataId(categoryId)
If linkCount > 0 Then
key1 = linkageList(0)
If linkCount > 1 Then
key2 = linkageList(1)
GetElementLinkage = True
The function above is for GTViewer, but it is very easy to use it with GTVx as well. You can either change the docObj reference to a GTVx1 (or whatever variable name you assigned to the control) or you can add something like the following to your code and use the same code for both GTViewer and GTVX. Write your code for GTViewer making sure to use the correct object when calling the methods (appObj, docObj, or viewObj). For GTVx, just define variables like the ones below in your general section:
Dim appObj As GTVx
Dim docObj As GTVx
Dim viewObj As GTVx
And somewhere in your code, assign the object variables to the GTVx control (Form_Load is a good place to do this):
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set appObj = GTVX1
Set docObj = GTVX1
Set viewObj = GTVX1
That is all you have to do. The function is provided in an appendix to the GTVx.doc file. There are other useful code snippets in this document as well.

How to Find a Church
12 Practical Steps to Help You Find a New Church Home
How to Find a Church

Finding a church can be a difficult, time-consuming experience. It often takes a great deal of patient persistence, especially if you are looking for a church after moving into a new community. Usually, you can only visit one, or possibly two churches a week, so the search for a church can drag out over a period of months.
Here are some practical steps to remember along with questions to ask yourself as you pray and seek the Lord through the process of finding a church.
1. Where Does God Want Me to Serve?
Prayer is an important part of the process of finding a church. As you seek the Lord's direction, he will give you the wisdom to know where he wants you to fellowship. Be sure to make prayer a priority each step along the way.
2. What Denomination?
There are many Christian denominations, from Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, Assemblies of God, Church of the Nazarene, and the list goes on and on. If you feel called to a nondenominational or interdenominational church, there are many different types of these as well, such as Pentecostal, Charismatic, and Community churches.
3. What Do I Believe?
It's important to understand the doctrinal beliefs of the church before joining. Many people become disillusioned after investing a great deal of time in a church. You can avoid this disappointment by looking closely at the church's statement of faith.
Before joining, be sure the church teaches the Bible effectively. If you're not sure, ask to talk with someone about this. Some churches even offer classes or written material to help you understand the church's doctrine.
4. What Type of Services?
Ask yourself, "Would I feel more freedom to worship through a formal liturgy, or would I be more comfortable in an informal atmosphere?" For example, Catholic, Anglican, Episcopalian, Lutheran and Orthodox churches will usually have more formal services, while Protestant, Pentecostal, and nondenominational churches will tend to have more relaxed, informal worship services.
5. What Type of Worship?
Worship is the way we express our love and appreciation to God as well as our awe and wonder at his works and ways. Consider what style of worship will allow you to most freely express adoration to God.
Some churches have contemporary worship music, some have traditional. Some sing hymns, others sing choruses. Some have full bands, others have orchestras and choirs. Some sing gospel, rock, hard rock, etc. Since worship is a key part of our church experience, be sure to give the style of worship serious consideration.
6. What Ministries and Programs Does the Church Have?
You want your church to be a place where you can connect with other believers. Some churches offer a very simple ministry approach and others extend an elaborate system of classes, programs, productions and more. So, for instance, if you're single and want a church with a single's ministry, be sure to check into this before joining. If you have kids, you'll want to explore the children's ministry.
7. Does the Size of the Church Matter?
Smaller church fellowships are usually unable to offer a wide variety of ministries and programs, while larger ones can support an array of opportunities. However, a small church can provide a more intimate, close-knit environment that a large church may not be able to cultivate as effectively. Becoming relational in the body of Christ often requires more effort in a large church. These are things to consider when looking at the size of the church.
8. What to Wear?
In some churches t-shirts, jeans, and even shorts are appropriate. In others, a suit and tie or dress would be more appropriate. In some churches, anything goes. So, ask yourself, "What is right for me—dressy, casual, or both?"
9. Visit Church Websites and Call Before Visiting
Next, take some time to list specific questions you would want to call and ask before visiting the church. If you take a few minutes each week to do this, it will save you time in the long run. For example, if the youth program is important to you, put that on your list and ask specifically for information about it. Some churches will even mail you an Information Packet or Visitor's Packet, so be sure to ask for these when you call.
You can often get a good feel for a church by visiting its website. Most churches will provide information about how the church got started, doctrinal beliefs, a statement of faith, plus information about ministries and outreaches.
10. Make a List.
Before visiting a church, make a checklist of the most important things you hope to see or experience. Then rate the church according to your checklist when you leave. If you're visiting many churches, your notes will help you compare and decide later. As time passes you may have trouble keeping them straight. This will provide you with a record for future reference.
11. Visit Three Times, Then Ask Yourself These Questions:
Is this church a place where I can connect with God and worship him freely? Will I learn about the Bible here? Are fellowship and community encouraged? Are people's lives being changed? Is there a place for me to serve in the church and opportunities to pray with other believers? Does the church reach out by sending missionaries and through financial giving and local outreach? Is this where God wants me to be? If you can say yes to these questions, then you've found a good church home.
12. Ask other Christians.
If you still don't know where to begin your search for a church, ask people you know—friends, co-workers, or people you admire, where they go to church.

Supreme Administrative Court Judgment No. 9/2558
Asia and the Pacific
Local communities used the canal "Klong Sai Thanu" as a waterway to drain water from the area, also with help from the extra drainage system. The expressway authority filled the canal to build the expressway and then built a substitute canal, but without an extra drainage system, thus failed to drain water from the area, resulted in flooding, stink water, which in turn became a source of diseases.
The court found the failure of the defendants to build an extra drainage system, which resulted in damages to local people, wrongful (tort) and demanded reparation by building an extra drainage system.

In my third and final piece on urban green spaces in Seoul, I would like to talk further about my new favourite place in the city: Seoul Forest. Reclaimed from an old horse racing track at the junction of the Han River and Jungnangcheon, Seoul Forest features wooded areas, a wetland, community vegetable garden, apple orchard, play spaces for children, a deer reservation, art installations, education facilities, cafes and a community hub, among other things. For Melbournites, it's comparable to CERES Community Environment Park but on a larger scale.
Seoul Green Trust administer the Seoul Forest and maintain a number of other initiatives around the city, including a network of over fifty community garden sites, along with a regular organic food market in the Seongsu-dong neighbourhood in which the Seoul Forest is located. There is a strong focus on community community food sovereignty and urban ecological regeneration in the activities of SGT, which are much needed in a metropolis of the size and population density of Seoul.
Thank you to Kango Lee from Seoul Green Trust for his presentation on Seoul Forest and the many other activities of SGT, Jinkyoung Choi for coordinating my visit and all of the Seoul Green Trust and Seoul Forest team for their hospitality during my visit.
Seoul Forest is one of a number of organisations across East Asia doing great things in the environment, sustainability and permaculture space, which have been obscure to Australian professionals perhaps due to linguistic and cultural barriers. Australian professionals in these fields can learn much from visiting these places and establishing ongoing connections. If you're ever in South Korea, Seoul Forest is well worth a visit.

More and more Americans took to the road on bicycles and automobiles at the turn of the 20th century. Demands for smoother, improved roads increased as the number of riders and drivers increased. The Mohawk Trail was an ancient route dating from North America's post-glacial period some ten thousand years ago. By the late 1800s, it had become a popular destination for drivers seeking out scenic roads and vistas. This postcard, from around 1915, shows the Mohawk Trail as it looked when the Massachusetts State Legislature designated it a scenic route in 1914. The road was not paved until six years later.

"We have a message: Muslim Americans are as American as apple pie" – from this article in The Guardian about Muslims at the Democratic National Convention in Denver
If Muslims are "as American as apple pie," are they as American as pumpkin pie, the pumpkin pie traditionally served at Thanksgiving, which like Independence Day, Memorial Day, and other national holidays, are not to be observed by observant Muslims, for only Muslim holidays, Muslim history, Muslim everything, counts?
And one more question. If Muslims have no trouble at all being "as American as apple pie" then surely they have no trouble viewing the defining document of the American polity, the Constitution of the United States, as worthy of their complete loyalty. And that includes, of course, the guarantees of individual rights in the Bill of Rights. And since the Bill of Rights is so very close, in so many of its key provisions -- freedom of speech, freedom of conscience (which naturally includes the right to apostatize) -- to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, can we conclude that American-as-apple-pie American Muslims find it puzzling that all of the Muslim countries (save for the Shah's Iran, and most temporarily and temporizingly) have failed to subscribe to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and instead have concocted a Muslim version, the so-called Cairo Declaration, which in every essential respect, involving individual rights, fatally vitiates the original, Universal Declaration?

When Did Coke Switch To Corn Syrup?
Coca-Cola is one of the most popular beverages in the world. But have you ever wondered what makes up this iconic drink? One of the primary ingredients that make Coca-Cola so unique is the sweetener used in it. For years, the company used cane sugar to give the drink its signature taste. However, in the 1980s, something changed. Coca-Cola switched to using corn syrup as its primary sweetener.
This switch has been a topic of debate among Coca-Cola lovers ever since. Some people believe that the change in sweetener has altered the taste of the drink, while others feel that the difference is negligible. But why did Coca-Cola make this switch to corn syrup in the first place? What are the implications of this change on the health of its consumers? Join us as we explore the history of Coca-Cola's sweeteners and try to answer these questions.

When Did Coca-Cola Switch to Corn Syrup?
Coca-Cola, the world's most popular soda, has been a staple in the beverage industry for over a century. However, in the 1980s, the company made a significant change to its formula, switching from using pure cane sugar to high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). This transition sparked controversy and confusion among consumers who were used to the original taste of Coca-Cola. Let's explore the reasons behind this change and what it means for the company and its customers.
Why the Switch to Corn Syrup?
The switch to corn syrup was primarily driven by cost. Corn syrup is significantly cheaper than cane sugar, making it a more cost-effective option for large-scale production. Additionally, corn syrup is easier to transport and store than cane sugar, which is a more delicate ingredient.
Another factor that contributed to the switch was the rising demand for sweetened beverages. In the 1980s, the popularity of sugary drinks was growing, and Coca-Cola was facing increased competition from other brands. The company needed to produce more soda to meet this demand, and corn syrup was a convenient and affordable solution.
The Impact on Taste
The switch to corn syrup had a significant impact on the taste of Coca-Cola. Many consumers noticed a difference in the flavor, with some describing it as less sweet and less crisp than the original formula. Some people found the new taste to be unpleasant and reported that it had a slightly artificial aftertaste.
However, others did not notice a significant difference and continued to enjoy Coca-Cola as they always had. Coca-Cola did make some adjustments to the formula to try to replicate the original taste, but the switch to corn syrup has remained a controversial topic among fans of the brand.
Corn Syrup vs. Cane Sugar
Many people still prefer the taste of soda made with cane sugar over corn syrup. Cane sugar is a natural ingredient that has a cleaner, crisper taste than corn syrup, which can sometimes taste overly sweet or artificial. Additionally, cane sugar is considered to be a healthier option than corn syrup, which has been linked to obesity, diabetes, and other health issues.
However, corn syrup remains a popular ingredient in many processed foods, including soda, due to its low cost and convenience. It is a highly processed sweetener that is derived from corn, and it is used in many foods and beverages as a cheaper alternative to cane sugar.
The Future of Coca-Cola
Despite the controversy surrounding the switch to corn syrup, Coca-Cola remains one of the most popular soda brands in the world. The company has continued to innovate and introduce new flavors and products, and it remains a dominant player in the beverage industry.
In recent years, Coca-Cola has faced increasing pressure to adapt to changing consumer preferences and address concerns about the health impacts of sugary drinks. The company has introduced new products, such as Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Diet Coke, that are marketed as healthier alternatives to traditional soda.
Benefits of Corn Syrup
While corn syrup remains a controversial ingredient, it does offer some benefits. For one, it is a highly versatile sweetener that can be used in a wide range of products, from soda to candy to baked goods. Additionally, corn syrup is a more stable ingredient than cane sugar, which can be affected by moisture and temperature changes.
From a production standpoint, corn syrup is also easier to work with than cane sugar. It is more resistant to crystallization and can be stored for longer periods of time without deteriorating in quality.
Conclusion
The switch to corn syrup was a significant change for Coca-Cola and its customers. While it did reduce production costs and help the company meet growing demand for sweetened beverages, it also altered the taste of the iconic soda. Today, Coca-Cola remains a popular brand, but it faces new challenges as consumers become more health-conscious and demand healthier options. Regardless of the controversies surrounding corn syrup, it remains a popular and widely used ingredient in the food and beverage industry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions and answers about when Coca-Cola switched to using corn syrup.
When did Coca-Cola switch to using corn syrup?
Coca-Cola switched to using high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) as a sweetener in the United States in the 1980s. The switch was made due to rising costs of sugar and the availability of cheaper corn syrup.
HFCS is a blend of glucose and fructose, which is cheaper to produce than sugar. The switch to HFCS allowed Coca-Cola to maintain their profit margins while keeping the price of their product affordable for consumers.
Why did Coca-Cola switch to corn syrup?
Coca-Cola switched to corn syrup as a sweetener due to the rising costs of sugar. At the time, corn syrup was a cheaper alternative to sugar and was readily available.
Additionally, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is sweeter than sugar, allowing Coca-Cola to use less of it in their products. This allowed them to maintain their profit margins while keeping the price of their product affordable for consumers.
Did Coca-Cola switch to corn syrup in all countries?
No, Coca-Cola did not switch to corn syrup in all countries. In some countries, Coca-Cola still uses sugar as a sweetener. This is due to a variety of factors, including availability and consumer preferences.
In countries where corn syrup is used, it is typically a blend of glucose and fructose, known as high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). This is cheaper to produce than sugar and has a longer shelf life.
Is corn syrup worse for you than sugar?
There is no clear consensus on whether corn syrup is worse for you than sugar. Some studies suggest that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) may be more harmful to your health than sugar.
However, other studies suggest that there is no significant difference between the two sweeteners in terms of health effects. Ultimately, the best way to maintain good health is to consume both sweeteners in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Does Coca-Cola still use corn syrup?
Yes, Coca-Cola still uses corn syrup as a sweetener in some of their products. However, they have also introduced other sweeteners, such as stevia, in response to consumer demand for healthier options.
Coca-Cola has also introduced a variety of low-calorie and sugar-free options, such as Diet Coke and Coke Zero, which use artificial sweeteners instead of corn syrup or sugar.
Why Coke Tried to Switch to New Coke
In conclusion, the switch from cane sugar to high fructose corn syrup in Coca-Cola occurred in the 1980s. This change was made due to the lower cost and increased availability of corn syrup. Despite the switch, many consumers still prefer the taste of Coca-Cola made with cane sugar and seek out Mexican-made Coca-Cola for its use of cane sugar. However, Coca-Cola continues to use high fructose corn syrup in its products sold in the United States.

The red-necked pademelon (Thylogale thetis) is a forest-dwelling marsupial living in the eastern coastal region of Australia.
A small species of macropod, it has a head and body length of 29–62 cm, a tail length of 27–51 cm and mean weight of 3.8 kg for females and 7.0 kg for males.[3] Mainly nocturnal, the red-necked pademelon is very shy and generally inhabits temperate forests near grassland, hiding in the forests by day and emerging into the grasslands to graze in the dusk.
The red-necked pademelon is brown-grey with a cream underbelly and a red-tinted neck and shoulders. It breeds in the autumn and spring in northern Australia, and in the summer in southern Australia. Predators include the dingo and the red fox, however habitat destruction, particularly through land clearance, is currently the largest threat to the species. The red-necked pademelon is not currently listed as an endangered species.
This species is closely related to the red-legged pademelon.

See Hawk for other articles with titles that contain, either by relationship or by coincidence, this character's surname.
Sean Liam Hawk (also known as Neal Hawk or Ren Hawk) was a human male in Starfleet in the 24th century. He was descended from early Martian settlers who had fought in the War of Martian Independence.
Biography[edit | edit source]
He was born in Bradbury City on Mars, the third son of Rhyst and Camille Hawk. His parents taught him and his brothers to savour life, and they grew up to have wanderlust and great passion for life.
Starfleet career[edit | edit source]
At Starfleet Academy[edit | edit source]
Hawk entered Starfleet Academy as soon as he was old enough, and excelled academically, leading his instructors to believe he had an eidetic (photographic) memory. He was also recognized for his athletic and interpersonal skills. (TNG - Section 31 novel: Rogue)
One of his close friends at the Academy was Linda Addison, with whom he shared an interest in rock climbing and 19th century American literature, and a common taste in men. After graduation, they maintained regular if somewhat occasional contact.
Hawk also attended advanced training flight school at Jupiter Station, and finished first in his class. One of his classmates was Dan Duvall with whom he formed a friendly but competitive relationship. (TNG - Slings and Arrows eBook: A Sea of Troubles)
After graduation[edit | edit source]
While at the Academy, Hawk fell in love with a fellow cadet named Logan with whom he had a year long relationship, however after their graduation, they were separated when they were assigned to different vessels. Not long after, Logan perished when his ship, the USS Barbados, was destroyed in a fight with Cardassian forces. (TNG - Section 31 novel: Rogue)
Hawk's first assignment was as conn officer onboard the USS Yorktown under Captain Kentrav's command. (TNG - Section 31 novel: Rogue)
He then transferred to San Francisco Fleet Yards, where he worked on the construction of a Sovereign-class starship which would become the USS Enterprise-E. (TNG - Slings and Arrows eBook: A Sea of Troubles)
While on shore leave on Risa in 2371, Hawk decided to explore a crystal cave. While climbing, he lost his footing and fell. He broke his leg, but was noticed by fellow Starfleet officer Ranul Keru who carried Hawk to a medic then took him to dinner that night. The two began a romantic relationship.
USS Enterprise-E[edit | edit source]
Early missions[edit | edit source]
When the Enterprise-E commissioned in 2372, both he and Keru managed to secure postings on the vessel, with Hawk becoming the ship's helmsman. (TNG - Section 31 novel: Rogue)
Later that year, after Captain Jean-Luc Picard took command of the Enterprise, Hawk found himself assigned many extra duties seeing much command potential in him.
Following a combat exercise with the USS Samson Hawk was reunited with his old friend Linda Addison who was assigned to the Enterprise as chief of security, but found her behavior suspicious. Following the Samson's destruction Hawk's suspicions led him to conclude that Addison was in fact a Changeling infiltrator who killed her and hid her body on Vulcan that was later located by Lieutenant Dan Duvall.
Captain Picard named Hawk acting security chief and put him in charge of capturing the infiltrator while he attempted a diplomatic solution. Their combined effort helped trick the Changeling into escaping the ship with false intelligence about Enterprise' capabilities. (TNG - Slings and Arrows eBook: A Sea of Troubles)
A few weeks later, he piloted a shuttle craft through an asteroid field with Lieutenant Padraig Daniels to apprehend Captain Ishmael Snowden who was responsible for the murder of Admiral Eric Hahn and the bombing of Starbase 375 in support of Admiral James Leyton's attempted coup. (TNG - Slings and Arrows eBook: The Oppressor's Wrong)
Section 31[edit | edit source]
Later that year, the Enterprise was dispatched on diplomatic mission to Chiaros IV following the disappearance of the USS Slayton in the system. The inhabitant of Chiaros IV were divided into two warring groups and was about to vote on joining the Federation or the Romulan Star Empire. Hawk was approached by Ambassador Aubin Tabor, who revealed himself as an agent of Section 31 and tried to recruit him. Tabor's persuasive argument left him conflicted on the matter of joining the shadowy organization in protection of the Federation. Never the less, he swore to the ambassador not to discusse it with anyone until he made his decision, who in turn explained that his true mission is to keep Chiaros IV out of the Federation and find his associate Commander Cortin Zweller who was the science officer of the Slayton. Shortly after this, Tabor was killed when the first peace talk between the two Chiarosian group turned into a bloodbath.
Unsure what to do, Hawk decided to keep Tabor's secret and help in the rescue of the handful of survivors kidnapped from the Slayton's crew, among them Zweller, to get some answers. He joined a rescue team consisting of Admiral Marta Batanides, Captain Picard and Doctor Beverly Crusher. They infiltrated the headquarters of the Army of Light, a Chiarosian militaristic movment that was secretly aided by the Romulan Tal Shiar. They managed to free their comrades and escape the compound in Romulan scout ship, and Zweller's true allegiance came to light and was arrested upon arriving on the Enterprise.
Ultimately, the crew of the Enterprise discovered to Romulans true interest in the system, a subspace singularity, that would provide the Romulan Empire with immense amounts of power that would help them conqer the galaxy. Hawk along with Picard and Data embarked on a mission to neutralize the singularity. After Data and Picard were incapacitated, but Hawk was able to keep the attacking warbird at bay, until his colleague recovered enough to complete their mission.
After the Enterprise departed the Chiaros system, Hawk discussed his dilemma regarding Section 31 with his partner, Ranul Keru, he decided to talk with Zweller and determine what the organization is truly capable of to defend the Federation. After their talk, Hawk came to the conclusion that Section 31 is willing to cross too many lines in the name of protection and revealed everything he learned to Captain Picard. (TNG - Section 31 novel: Rogue)
In early-2373, Hawk and Keru attended a theater performance directed by Doctor Crusher. After a after a great deal of badgering during their dinner, Keru managed to talk Hawk into trying out for a role in the next performance. The following day, he expertly navigated the Enterprise through the Badlands to rescue Captains Jean-Luc Picard and Benjamin Sisko from a trap set by rogue members of the Klingon High Council. (TNG - Slings and Arrows eBook: Enterprises of Great Pitch and Moment)
Death and legacy[edit | edit source]
In the days following, disobeying the direct orders of Admiral Jeremiah Hayes, the Enterprise joined the fleet that defeated the Borg cube that headed for Earth. During their subsequent travel into the past, the Borg attempted to takeover of the Enterprise and assimilate Earth.
When the crew learned that the Borg wanted to use the ship's deflector dish to contact the Collective, Hawk volunteered to accompany Captain Picard in stopping them. He was attacked during the EVA maneuver by a Borg drone who injected him with nanoprobes. Though the assimilation wasn't complete, he fell under the control of the collective and gained the designation 1701-E 587M. Unable to resist the instructions, Hawk tried to kill Captain Picard, but he was shot by Lieutenant Commander Worf before he could. The pain from the injury momentarily disrupted his connection with the Borg and he regained enough control to deactivate his mag-boots, thus his body drifted away from the ship. With the growing distance, Hawk was disconnected from the Collective and he was able to take one final look at the Enterprise before dying with a free mind. (TNG movie: First Contact; TNG short story: "A Private Victory")
In the years following Hawk's death, his partner Ranul Keru still had not fully accepted it, felling that he could have been saved. Hawk returned to him in the form of dreams to comfort his coping loved one. (DS9 - Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novel: Trill: Unjoined, TTN novel: Taking Wing)
During in his career, he distinguished himself with his display of superior reflexes and dedication. As of stardate 50368.0, he had earned twenty-three separate commendations from his superiors. (TNG - Section 31 novel: Rogue)
