19. Oscillators and Clock Selection
C8051F380/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/C devices include a programmable internal high-frequency oscillator, a programmable internal low-frequency oscillator, and an external oscillator drive circuit. The internal high-frequency
oscillator can be enabled/disabled and calibrated using the OSCICN and OSCICL registers, as shown in
Figure 19.1. The internal low-frequency oscillator can be enabled/disabled and calibrated using the
OSCLCN register. The system clock can be sourced by the external oscillator circuit or either internal oscillator. Both internal oscillators offer a selectable post-scaling feature. The USB clock (USBCLK) can be
derived from the internal oscillators or external oscillator.

19.1. System Clock Selection
The CLKSL[2:0] bits in register CLKSEL select which oscillator source is used as the system clock.
CLKSL[2:0] must be set to 001b for the system clock to run from the external oscillator; however the external oscillator may still clock certain peripherals (timers, PCA) when the internal oscillator is selected as the
system clock. The system clock may be switched on-the-fly between the internal oscillators and external
oscillator so long as the selected clock source is enabled and running.
The internal high-frequency and low-frequency oscillators require little start-up time and may be selected
as the system clock immediately following the register write which enables the oscillator. The external RC
and C modes also typically require no startup time.
19.2. USB Clock Selection
The USBCLK[2:0] bits in register CLKSEL select which oscillator source is used as the USB clock. The
USB clock may be derived from the internal oscillators, a divided version of the internal High-Frequency
oscillator, or a divided version of the external oscillator. Note that the USB clock must be 48 MHz when
operating USB0 as a Full Speed Function; the USB clock must be 6 MHz when operating USB0 as a Low
Speed Function. See SFR Definition 19.1 for USB clock selection options.

19.3. Programmable Internal High-Frequency (H-F) Oscillator
All C8051F380/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/C devices include a programmable internal high-frequency oscillator that
defaults as the system clock after a system reset. The internal oscillator period can be adjusted via the
OSCICL register as defined by SFR Definition 19.2.
On C8051F380/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/C devices, OSCICL is factory calibrated to obtain a 48 MHz base frequency.
Note that the system clock may be derived from the programmed internal oscillator divided by 1, 2, 4, or 8
after a divide by 4 stage, as defined by the IFCN bits in register OSCICN. The divide value defaults to 8 following a reset, which results in a 1.5 MHz system clock.
19.3.1. Internal Oscillator Suspend Mode
When software writes a logic 1 to SUSPEND (OSCICN.5), the internal oscillator is suspended. If the system clock is derived from the internal oscillator, the input clock to the peripheral or CIP-51 will be stopped
until a non-idle USB event is detected or a rising or falling edge occurs on the VBUS signal. Note that the
USB transceiver can still detect USB events when it is disabled.
When one of the oscillator awakening events occur, the internal oscillator, CIP-51, and affected peripherals
resume normal operation. The CPU resumes execution at the instruction following the write to the SUSPEND bit.
Note: The prefetch engine can be turned off in suspend mode to save power. Additionally, both Voltage
Regulators (REG0 and REG1) have low-power modes for additional power savings in suspend mode.

Adelaide, South Australia – 9 December 2021 – The 'Oculus Observatory' is a new kind of space observatory, designed, built, and managed by Silentium Defence, which delivers the widest field of view, and the most cost-effective monitoring of objects in orbit, anywhere in the world.
Opened today, by Head of the Australian Space Agency, Enrico Palermo, 'Oculus' is located on the fringe of South Australia's dark sky reserve in the Mid-Murray region.
Dr James Palmer, CEO Silentium Defence said "this new generation space observatory will provide high quality and timely data for more informed decision making, traffic management and collision avoidance in space.
"Unlike traditional space surveillance technologies that provide a narrow view of debris and objects in orbit, the sensors at our observatory provide coverage of an area the size of South Australia.
"For customers, this means we will detect and track objects they expect to see, like satellites and catalogued debris, as well as new and unknown objects that may pose a threat to critical services or assets in space.
"Not only do our sensors detect those objects, but because of our coverage, they maintain visibility and tracking for significantly longer. More observation time creates better information for space operators to make informed decisions about what an object is, where it's headed, whether it poses a threat and what action to take. 'Oculus' is set to be the workhorse of space surveillance, supporting both commercial and government applications.
"To manoeuvre a satellite safely in space takes time. It is a costly exercise that can limit a satellite's life. Any decision to manoeuvre must be based on the most accurate, up-to-date and informed data, and that's what our new observatory provides."
The Silentium Defence, 'Oculus Observatory' is the first of a planned network of wide-field-of-view observatories to be deployed across the globe. Based on the company's unique radar technology, its sensors exploit Megawatts of transmitted power from pre-existing transmitters. This means space surveillance radars can be built and commissioned rapidly, anywhere in the world, without spectrum license approvals, more cost effectively.
The observatory has been designed and delivered with almost $1.5 million in support from the Australian Government under the 'International Space Investment' initiative. There are plans for the observatory to host multiple surveillance sensor types including optical and narrow-field-of-view sensors to support Australia's broader civil and Defence ambitions of true sovereign capability in space situational awareness.
Initial design and capability testing for integration of various sensor types and data sources is being conducted in partnership with Silentium's ISI-grant partner, Western Sydney University, and with support from the Swedish Space Corporation.
Head of the Australian Space Agency Enrico Palermo said the observatory is a great example of the world-leading technology Australia's space industry can deliver.
"This new observatory shows the world that not only does Australia offer unique geographic advantage for space observation and tracking, but we have the skills, vision and leadership to design the systems that will keep people, assets and critical services safe.
"The safe, stable and sustainable use of outer space is central to the continued growth of the space sector – both globally and here in Australia."
South Australian Premier Steven Marshall congratulated Silentium Defence on the project which adds critical capability to the space ecosystem and delivers positive economic impacts for the state.
"South Australia is now firmly established as the centre-of-gravity for the nation's space endeavours, and Silentium's Oculus Observatory is a great example of the innovation being fostered here to tackle complex space problems.
"With the local space sector set to create thousands of jobs over the coming decades, it's exciting to see that these jobs are not just in major metropolitan centres, but in regional areas too with Silentium's investment delivering hi-tech jobs to the Mid-Murray region where the observatory is located."

In SSIS 2012 there is a new task to set the value of variables: Expression Task. For previous versions of SSIS or for more complex constructions you need the Script Task. Here is an example on how to use variables and parameters in a Script Task.
First you need to add the variables and/or parameters to the readonly and/or readwrite variables. Edit the Script Task and in the Script Pane you will find two textboxes: ReadOnlyVariables and ReadWriteVariables. They are for variables and parameters.
Note: parameters are always readonly. Variables can be readonly or readwrite.
Now you can use them in the script:
using System;
using System.Data;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace ST_def94055cb1544e4aa823a304f97288f
{
 [Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.ScriptTask.SSISScriptTaskEntryPointAttribute]
 public partial class ScriptMain : Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.ScriptTask.VSTARTScriptObjectModelBase
 {
 public void Main()
 {
 // Variables and parameters work the same in a Script Task, but there are two differences:
 // 1) Parameters have a different Scope (the part before ::)
 // 2) Parameters are always read-only

 // Some examples:

 // Read an SSIS package parameter and sets its value in an SSIS variable
 Dts.Variables["User::MyIntegerVariable"].Value = Dts.Variables["$Package::MyIntegerPackageParam"].Value;

 // Read an SSIS package parameter and sets its value in an SSIS variable
 Dts.Variables["User::MyIntegerVariable"].Value = Dts.Variables["$Project::MyIntegerProjectParam"].Value;

 // Read an SSIS variable and add 1. Because .Value returns an OBJECT, you first need to convert it to an integer
 Dts.Variables["User::MyIntegerVariable"].Value = Convert.ToInt32(Dts.Variables["User::MyIntegerVariable"].Value) + 1;

 Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
 }

 enum ScriptResults
 {
 Success = Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSExecResult.Success,
 Failure = Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSExecResult.Failure
 };
 }
}
For a VB.NET version of the code, check out this blog post. It also shows a second option with the VariableDispenser, but that isn't the preferred method.
Parent package variables
A child package can read the variable values of a parent package with a Script Task. But because the names of those parent package variables are unknown for the child package at design time, you can't select those variables names with the select window. So you have to type the exact name (incl. scope) in the readonly variables textbox of the Script Task. Make sure you don't use the same variable names in the parent and child package, otherwise it won't work.
With this simple line of code you can transfer the value of the parent package variable to the child package variable:
// Store parent package variable value in child package variable
Dts.Variables["User::MyChildPackageVariable"].Value = Dts.Variables["User::MyParentPackageVariable"].Value;
For a VB.Net version of the code and more details check this blog post.

"Nephew" Used to Refer to Both Boys and Girls
"Nephew" at one time was a gender neutral term, but since around the 17th century has referred nearly exclusively to male children of one's siblings or brother/sister-in-law's children. The word "nephew" comes from the Old French "neveu" meaning "grandson, descendant", which in turn comes from the Latin "nepotem", meaning "sister's son, grandson, or descendant". The first documented case of "nephew" being used in English was in the 14th century.
Today, because we now lack a gender neutral word to refer to a niece or nephew, it has been suggested that the slang word "nibling" be adopted, derived more or less from "sibling".

Derived Types: PolygonB, PolygonN
An abstract class that serves as a base to its derived types, representing a collection of one or more exterior and interior rings..
The rings do not need to be connected to or
contained by other rings in the polygon. However,
all rings are considered to be part of a single polygon regardless of
their location. Rings can be embedded in the interior
of other rings. Embedded rings define interior
boundaries or holes within the polygon. Exterior
rings are oriented in a clockwise direction while interior rings are oriented
In general, you will work with the normalized polygon type PolygonN, whether creating a polygon or working with a polygon returned from a service request. See the discussion on binary and normalized geometry for more information. When constructing a PolygonN with overlapping rings in the same direction, the server will simplify the polygon for you. If two rings overlap, the overlapping area will be considered an interior ring (hole). If three rings overlap, the overlapping area will be considered an exterior ring and so on.

To review the gender equality work in schools and preschools in the Nordic countries, the Nordic Council of Ministers initiated a study presented in this report (in Swedish).
The study was carried out by researcher Mia Heikkilä, and her results show that the gender equality work differs among the Nordic countries, including in intensity. The countries with clearly formulated gender equality objectives in national steering documents for schools and preschools tend to display active gender equality work at the local level. Denmark, Faroe Islands and Greenland lack such clearly formulated objectives. The Danish national curricula address democracy and equal treatment, but not gender and gender equality specifically.
One purpose of the study was '… to distribute knowledge about how teachers, preschool teachers and school staff work with gender equality in a number of schools and preschools in the Nordic region.'
Another purpose was '… to spread good examples as inspiration for further gender equality work in school and preschool.'
The report is mainly based on interviews and gives examples of how teachers and school staff work with gender equality. The book is intended to inspire educators to initiate or reinforce gender equality at the local level.
Conference on gender equality in school and preschool
Within the framework of the Swedish Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers, a Nordic conference on gender equality in school and preschool was held in May 2013. At the conference, teachers, researchers and experts lectured on topics such as recruitment of male preschool teachers, norm criticism in textbooks and other teaching materials, and gender equality work in school and preschool.
Gender balance in academia
During the Norwegian Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers in 2012, a conference was held on the gender balance in research. The Nordic Council of Ministers also published this report (in Swedish), which describes the gender equality challenges in academia but also successful initiatives and proposed actions.
Gender awareness in teacher training
During the Finnish Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers in 2011, a conference was held on gender awareness in teacher training: Nordic Challenges, Future Possibilities – Gender Awareness in Schools and Teacher Education. The conference stressed the importance of teacher training that provides teachers with tools to challenge hierarchies and gender inequality in school.

摘要
The machinability information of Zr-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are recently limited but essential to provide technological recommendation for the fabrication of the medical devices due to the material's metastable nature. This study aims to investigate the material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness under different current and pulse-on time of newly developed Ni- A nd Cu-free Zr-based BMG using sinking-electrical discharge machining (EDM). By using weightloss calculation, surface roughness test and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation on the workpiece after machining, both MRR and surface roughness were obtained to be increased up to 0.594 mm3/min and 5.50 μm, respectively, when the higher current was applied. On the other hand, the longer pulse-on time shifted the Ra into the higher value but lower the MRR value to only 0.183 mm3/min at 150 μs. Contrary, the surface hardness value was enhanced by both higher current and pulse-on time applied during machining indicating different level of structural change after high-temperature spark exposure on the BMG surface. These phenomena are strongly related to the surface evaporation which characterize the formation of crater and recast layer in various thicknesses and morphologies as well as the crystallization under the different discharge energy and exposure time.

How can I connect my ps3 to my computer modem?
Here is a general guide I wrote. For Vista, however, I think you will have to go to the sharing tab instead of the advanced tab when you are browsing the properties of a connection...
1. Get a CAT5 or CAT6 crossover cable. The cable that came with the PS3 is a normal Ethernet cable, therefore it cannot be used for this operation.
2. Make sure you have two sources for network communication. For example, you can have 2 ethernet ports on your computer, or you can have a wireless card and a Ethernet port etc. It helps to draw out a connection blueprint such as this:
DSL Modem > CAT5 cable > Network Card 1 > Computer > Network Card 2 > CAT5 Crossover cable > PS3
3. Connect your computer to the modem and verify that you have an Internet connection. Then, click on Start, go to settings, control panel. Double click on Network Connections, and identify the connection to your modem (Network card 1).
4. Right click on the modem connection, and choose properties. Next, click on the advanced tab (Sharing tab for Vista users), and check the "allow other users to connect…" checkbox. After the checkbox is checked, click on the "Home networking connection" drop down box and select the name of the second network connection. Click OK and exit the properties window.
5. Finally, connect the CAT5 crossover cable from the second network adapter of the computer to the PS3, and voila, your Internet connection is now routed to your PS3. Please be aware that your computer must be on in order for your PS3 to stay online. In the long run, a router may be a much better device to use than your computer, since it consumes only a fraction of the electricity than your computer does.

Text detection is a primary task for text recognition and understanding, which can be used in many image analysis techniques. In this paper, we propose an effective scene text detection method including three major steps: connected components (CCs) extraction, character-linking and text/non-text classification. First, for CCs extraction, we design an adaptive color reduction scheme by analyzing image color histogram, which reasonably selects color centers and generates unfixed number of color layers for images in different color complexities. Then, for character-linking, an adjacent character model is built by training an extreme learning machine (ELM), instead of setting various thresholds in previous approaches. Finally, a hybrid text verification strategy is adopted, combining convolutional neural network with ELM for text/non-text classification and performing better than just using one of them. Experimental results on some publicly available datasets illustrate the effectiveness of our method and comparative results with some state-of-the-art algorithms demonstrate our competitiveness.

Difference Between Typical and Atypical Antipsychotics
Main Difference – Typical vs Atypical Antipsychotics
Psychiatry is a broad subject which studies a huge ratio of human interactions. Most specialists may try to heal patients just by using non-medical interventions but at some point, the necessity for medication arises. Typical antipsychotics and atypical antipsychotics are two different subtypes of antipsychotics which are often used in this field of psychiatry. The main difference between typical and atypical antipsychotics is the fact that atypical antipsychotics have fewer side effects than typical antipsychotics.
This article explains,
1. What are Typical Antipsychotics?
2. What are Atypical Antipsychotics?
3. Difference Between Typical and Atypical Antipsychotics?
Difference Between Typical and Atypical Antipsychotics - Comparison Summary
What are Typical Antipsychotics
Typical antipsychotics, also called first-generation antipsychotic drugs, are mainly used in the treatment of distress, acute obsession and other psychotic conditions. Typical antipsychotic drug is further categorised into 3 classes: low potency, medium potency and high potency.
They act on our dopamine system, by transiently occupying D2 receptors and then rapidly dissociating to allow normal dopamine neurotransmission. This keeps prolactin levels normal and releases cognition.
What are the Side Effects of Typical Antipsychotics
Typical Antipsychotics can cause extrapyramidal motor control debilities in patients which may return once the medication is discontinued even after using it on a long term basis. Commonest motor disturbances associated with this condition are particularly dominant in the facial muscles, tongue and jaw.
Other common side effects of typical antipsychotic include body quivers and stiffness. Weight gain along with dry mouth, muscle cramping and rigidity are also side effects of these medications. One of the most dangerous and incurable side effects of this drug is Neuroleptic malignant syndrome which usually comes with high fever and rehabilitated mental status. Examples are, Haloperidol and Chlorpromazine
Difference Between Typical and Atypical Antipsychotics
Typical antipsyhotics: Levomepromazin 5mg, flupentixol 5mg and perfenazin 4mg.
What are Atypical Antipsychotics
Atypical antipsychotics, also known as new generation antipsychotics, are known to fewer side effects when compared to the other types.
Examples: Clozapine, Quetiapine
This type of antipsychotics are less likely to cause side effects such as extrapyramidal motor control and Tardive dyskinesia disabilities in the patient along with weight gain, dry mouth, muscle cramping and stiffness. Lon-term usage of this drug may result in extreme weakness and abnormal shifts in sleeping patterns.
Main Difference - Typical vs Atypical Antipsychotics
Risperdal
Difference Between Typical and Atypical Antipsychotics
Side Effects:
Even though both these drugs are equally used in the treatment of psychosis, atypical antipsychotic drugs are often preferred over typical antipsychotic drugs since the proven side effects are fewer in the former.
Withdrawal Symptoms:
As far as the withdrawal symptoms are concerned, typical ones own fewer outcomes when compared to those of atypical. However, the debate is still on as to which of these two drugs is more powerful.

How to Build an RC Plane from Scratch, ARF or Kit
In this article, we will look into how to make RC planes and the multitude of options there are for the aspiring RC model aircraft builder.
Best RC Planes
It is easy to assume that building RC airplanes is a difficult task but, in reality, they are actually fairly simple to make at home. It requires a little planning and a few materials but if you give it a few hours you could become an expert at building RC airplanes. All you need are the main components of a plane: the body (fuselage), wings, rudder (or ailerons/elevator), wheels, motor and radio transmitter. Building RC airplanes has become easier recently because of less expensive radio equipment and more efficient batteries and motors.
Building RC Planes – Quick Overview
The process of building RC airplanes should always begin with the layout of the plane; you want to make sure all of the parts are attainable and that they will fit on the plane. You can use plastic, balsa wood or foam – the former two are definitely good choices but the most affordable and safest materials would be foam. Building RC airplanes is made easier by foam because you can simply purchase one 1/2'' foam core board for the entire plane (for a 12-18 inch plane). Additionally, building RC airplanes out of foam keeps them intact when they crash.
To continue the process of building RC airplanes, use the fuselage and fit your ailerons into a groove in it using packing tape; this type of tape is the best kind for making a plane because it is lightweight and cheap. Then, fit your elevator into a groove in your fuselage or using packing tape. When building RC airplanes from scratch, it is essential to maximize the surface area between the fuselage, ailerons and the elevator and the packing tape. This makes sure none of the pieces fall off while the airplane is in flight. Next, put the wings on the plane. Make sure they are even; when building RC planes, accuracy is essential for a successful flight. After this, put the servos on the plane's wings. When building RC airplanes, servos are important because they ensure that the plane is easily controlled and that it flies properly.
The next step in building RC airplanes is to assemble the motor. For a beginner, it makes sense to simply purchase a pre-made motor. If you have training, you may craft the motor yourself while you are building RC airplanes. For a plastic or balsa wood plane you can put the motor and radio transmitter inside the plane (with insulation so the motor doesn't light the plane on fire) but, with a foam plane, you will have to put the motor and radio transmitter on the outside while you're building RC airplanes.
In the process of building RC airplanes, the last and most important step is to test your airplane out. If it is not flying straight, check the propeller and make sure that you have mounted your motor with at least two degrees of right thrust to ensure that the torque of the plane is counteracted. Hopefully, you find that building RC airplanes is a fun process!
RC Planes Types
RTF RC Airplanes
Nowadays there is a bewildering amount of choices for the budding aero modeller who wants to learn how to make an RC airplane. Recently the emergence of ready to fly or RTF RC airplanes is probably the easiest route into beginner RC airplane flying with no assembly required. You literally unpack, charge the batteries then go flying.
ARTF/ARF RC Airplanes
Almost ready to fly or ARTF/ARF RC airplanes have shortened the time from purchase to the first flight to a few hours with just simple assembly to do before the first flight.
From Plans
Many people enjoy the build phase as much as flying the aircraft, and they will design and build the whole airplane from scratch.
From Kits
Kits make building a plan quite easy. There are many diverse types of airplane kits. You simply need to find a design you like, buy it and then put it all together. Kits vary from the simple to the very complicated and come in wood, plastic and metal.

Electric RC Airplanes
Over the last couple of years, electric power for RC airplanes has made enormous gains on the traditional world of the nitro RC airplane. The reason for this is twofold in my opinion. Firstly, advances in both electric motor and battery technology have made electric airplanes performance and practicality extremely attractive to serious RC airplane enthusiasts, where cost is an issue Electric Power for RC Airplanes makes very good sense as you don't have to keep buying nitro fuel. Secondly, the environmental issues that go with traditional nitro RC airplanes i.e. Noise and pollution are no longer an issue.
Personally, I feel there will always be a place for the internal combustion engine within aero-modelling, especially with large scale RC airplanes, however, these advances in motor and battery performance are blurring the issue.
Just a few years ago electric power for RC Airplanes was reserved for only the cheapest RC Models, indeed the phrase "remote-controlled airplane" would have been synonymous with electric power. The main reason for this increased practicality and performance is the Brushless RC motors and Lithium Polymer batteries also known as Li-Po batteries. Electric motors also work really well with ducted fan RC airplanes, these can be an alternative to real RC Jet Engines, so jet appearance models are now available almost ready to fly without the cost of true jet technology.
So electric power for RC airplanes is now a totally viable alternative to traditional Nitro Power RC Airplanes, I think that it is a great, clean, quiet and thoroughly modern power source.
Nitro RC Airplanes
2 and 4 Cycle Nitro RC Airplanes
Most traditional engines used in radio-controlled airplanes are 2 stroke glow engines, this means that they operate on the 2 cycle principle, just like a chainsaw engine. However, rather than having a spark plug to ignite the fuel/air mixture a small glow plug, which is preheated by a battery at startup, continuously glows and burns the fuel. These engines are simple, light, and inexpensive so this is why Nitro RC Airplanes are so popular. They are fuelled by Nitro-methane/methanol this fuel is mixed with 20% oil for lubrication. Most engines for Nitro RC Airplanes are categorized by their size in cubic inches e.g. 40 size = .40cu in.
4 Cycle engines are a bit more expensive and complicated, so are more often used in the larger and more expensive airplanes, where their better low down power suits this type of airplane. 4 cycle engines are more suited to the more experienced modeller, as they are more complicated to use and maintain.
Nitro RC Airplanes versus Petrol and Diesel Engines
The much larger petrol engines are for use with the large scale RC airplanes that have become popular lately. These large engines are normally between 32cc to over 100cc so are clearly serious bits of equipment, with price tags to match. When used with the very large scale RC airplanes they make for a truly stirring sight. Diesel engines used to be quite popular and work by igniting their fuel using very high compression ratios, these engines were available in a large range of sizes and although were less powerful than similar-sized nitro engines they did produce good low down power, they have however become hard to obtain. So Nitro RC Airplanes have become the most popular aircraft for more experienced modelers.
Building RC Planes from Kits
Airplane plans and kits are available in many variations to suit all potential aviation enthusiasts. There's a great deal of pleasure to be had from piloting your own plane. It's a hobby that can bring hours of fun. Model planes are available for children, adults, and those of all skill abilities.
There are choices for both new and experienced users. Plastic aircraft kits have a flexible selection of uses. Lightweight designs afford a higher flying speed and the ability to fly for a longer distance. Costs are low for basic airplanes and if you don't need your aircraft to fly, there's always model aircraft for display purposes only.
Kit planes made of wood offer similar attributes to the plastic planes, giving choices between models for display only or construction of aircraft that will actually fly. Wooden aircraft kits take longer to put together than their plastic counterparts, but assembly is usually straightforward.
Remote radio-controlled airplane kits, usually called RC airplanes, suit the most fun type of model aircraft. The controller becomes the pilot! RC aircraft models are available to a varied range of beginners right through to the expert level. Moneywise the cost can be quite low but it can also reach thousands of dollars depending upon the superiority, dimensions and detail required.
Model aircraft are hugely popular. Thousands of airplane aircraft kits and plans are available to make replica aircraft Plans are can be bought not just for modern aircraft, but for plans of airplanes since the early days of their invention.
There's a great deal of interest in aircraft from the World War One and Two eras – these represent the highest plan sales. Approximately 200,000 model aircraft builders face the same problems in selecting the aircraft they want to construct and then finding the right plan to suit them. Many plan purchasers will build the aircraft from balsa wood which is easy to work with.
It's vital to get full assistance for each aircraft's building method. This will ensure that each piece is exactly correct for both size and weight. This will aid the 'balancing' of the aircraft during its time in the air.
Some plans will include specifics of what types of wire should be used, whether it's


An Egyptian mummy
Ancient Egyptian mummies found floating in sewage water in Egypt
Several mummies complete with sarcophagi were retrieved from dirty water where they'd been found floating near El Minya, Egypt.
According to a statement from the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, two previously unknown Greco-Roman era mummies were located this week. They had been buried in tombs in a small village in northeastern Egypt, 240 kilometers (150 miles) south of Cairo. However, police were alerted to the sarcophagi when they were spotted floating in polluted sewage water.
The centuries-old sarcophagi held mummies which were wrapped in many layers of thick linen. Very few human remains were recovered from the wrappings. The wooden sarcophagi containing the mummies had suffered extensive damage due the foul water. It is reported by Daily News Egypt that they have since disintegrated.
The artifacts dated back to the Greco-Roman era of Egyptian history, from 332 B.C. to 395 A.D. The remains were preserved in the tradition of the time, with colorful drawings of the women on the sarcophagi tops. This type of mummy portraiture, known as 'Fayum portraits' often depicted the head and chest of the deceased painted onto a panel using encaustic wax or egg-tempera paint techniques. Colorful designs decorated the sarcophagi, but they had no ancient Egyptian writings or hieroglyphs.

It is not clear how or why the mummies were left in the sewage water, but experts at the ministry suspect the artifacts might have been deliberately discarded there during illegal excavations. Rather than be found with priceless antiquities, any diggers, looters or smugglers might have dumped the mummies so as not to suffer the penalties of the country's severe security restrictions.
Youssef Khalifa, head of antiquities at the ministry, said "The robbers may have resorted to dumping these sarcophagi in the irrigation canal when they felt that authorities were closing in on them, or perhaps when they were approaching a security checkpoint," reports International Business Times.
Looting and illegal excavation or historical sites is a problem around the world, and political turmoil doesn't make the situation easier for officials. According to experts, looters will strip Egypt of most of its archaeological heritage within the next 25 years unless something is done to stop it. A satellite survey project, funded in part by the National Geographic Society, has examined more than 4,000 archaeological sites in Egypt using Google Earth satellite imagery, and already tens of thousands of looting pits have been identified across the landscape.

The problem in Egypt has been exacerbated by bigger and bolder steps being taken by treasure hunters, who are now swapping spades and shovels for bulldozers and dynamite. Although Egypt employs about 1,200 guards at archaeological sites, most make only about $40 a week, leaving them tempted by generous bribes. Others may be scared off by armed gangs.
Restoration and preservation of ancient artifacts is a time consuming and exacting practice, and the loss of the sarcophagi is a blow to conservationists and the wider community of culture and heritage preservation. The condition of the El Minya mummies is poor, but Khalifa has announced the mummies and sarcophagi will be restored as much as possible and put on display at the Hermopolis Museum.

I am a 6th grader, we are doing a project on Ancient Egypt. May I use some of your pictures for my project?
Thank you,
You are correct. Though other people have learned to preserve these antiquities, ISIS continues its path of destruction to erase what they consider idolatry. I believe peace loving Muslims need to be the strongest opponents and speak out feverishly against the ravaging and destruction of these archaeological sites. ISIS may be more likely to hear other Muslims before they hear anyone else, maybe not but it has to be tried. The Muslim community has been too silent and many people consider that to be a form of approval. They have been too silent in speaking out against terrorism but much more vocal and vigilant on speaking out against what they consider discrimination. I think Muslims would see less of what they consider discrimination if they showed they are as against the goal of ISIS and other radicalized groups and they do not wish to indoctrinate the world and convert everyone to Islam. Preaching and trying to call people to a religion is one thing. Enforcing their beliefs onto others is another. If the rest of the world saw more outrage from the Muslim community I think that others may be less fearful and wouldn't be as much of an issue as many Muslims think it is. When a group of people have declared war on all other religions of the world and do not wear uniforms to identify themselves as combatants, it causes fear among the population towards all. I don't think it's discrimination at all. Discrimination is the unjust prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things especially on the grounds of race, sex or age. The fear people have cannot be considered unjust when these hijackers of Islam have decided to deceive and blend into the community and attack innocent civilians instead of their self-proclaimed enemy's military. They have declared war against us and everyone who isn't Muslim. What Muslims feel isn't discrimination it is the basic human instinct called self-preservation. That you could be right next to someone who has declared you their enemy and wishes death upon you without the foresight of knowing who your enemy is. In conventional wars, one of the reasons militaries wear uniforms is so they can be identified and distinguished between non-combatants. The radical Muslims are completely in the wrong for attacking unarmed citizens who aren't aware they are in a war with the man standing next to them. Peaceful Muslims are victims of these radicalized Muslims not anyone else. Their issue needs to be with them, not with people simply trying to protect themselves and survive. Also, since lying and deception is an acceptable tactic toward advancing the cause of Islam, blame can be assigned to that at well. Before you call out other forms of violence committed by other religions, please remember other religions haven't declared war against Islam.
Dear persons...I believe you are severely misinformed....Islam as a religion does not by any means justify the defacing of just as every religion that advocates peace so does islam...if what you claim is a reality than all the great monuments in Egypt from the pyramids to the temple of amunra would not have made it another aspect you criticize the defacement of monuments to build a mosque and how that proves how undisciplined Muslims are...newsflash...this trend has persisted with many religious cultures...many ancient roman artifacts like the collosseum were partially dismantled by church institutions and used to well build such I commend you to put your antagonism and prejudice aside and reassess the situation in terms of people....religion regardless of what faith you follow does not comment actions of extremist or's people who decide to take such actions so instead of blaming religion, blame the person or group....the actions of the few should not reflect on the majority... Hitler was responsible for a massive genocide campaigne of the Jewish population in Germany, does that make all of Germany bad...what about the families who attempted to help hide the jews, they're German too....they are hitler's subjects before making such a claim stating that islam is the cause of cultural and historic deterioration think again and put your prejudice aside, there is no crime worse the ignorance and dogmatism....
Alas!!!! A bath!!!

Munyon Island, Florida
Coastal Systems International Inc. designed the
docking facility planned for the John D.
MacArthur Beach State Park on Munyon Island
in Palm Beach County. A preliminary design
report was prepared for Palm Beach County based on
hydrographic and marine resource surveys conducted by
Coastal Systems. Three alternatives including different
dock layouts and wave attenuation structures were
evaluated based on construction budgets. Coastal Systems
was then retained by DEP (Department of Environmental
Protection) Parks to complete the final engineering design
and prepare construction documents for the selected option.
The final design consisted of a pile-crib breakwater for
wave attenuation attached to the shore on the west side of
the island with a 20-slip floating dock facility. The pile crib
breakwater serves three purposes; 1) approach pier for
public access to the floating docks, and 2) wave attenuation
for boat wakes and 3) habitat for marine resources.
A statistical analysis was conducted to provide wave
characteristics (height, period) for the design of breakwater
with respect to the selected 25-year coastal storm return
period. Wave forces were calculated for the structural
design of the piles, caps, and slabs that support the pier
structure. Wave transmission studies were also conducted to
specify characteristics and geometry of the rock to be
placed in the crib for optimum wave attenuation for the
docking facility. A geotechnical investigation was
conducted for the design of the pile-supported structures.
Designs and details for structural precast pile, caps, and
slabs were developed due to the remote island construction.
Fiberglass grating was specified to span concrete slabs
along the pile-crib structure to provide a composite design,
to relieve uplift pressures from wave action during coastal
storms, and to provide light penetration for sea grass. The
design provided ADA structures, as well as a slip for
landing craft to transport maintenance vehicles on and off
of the island.
Coastal Systems has been retained by the Florida DEP to
perform pre-construction seagrass surveys and to perform
monitoring and reporting of the adjacent seagrass beds for
five years as required by the environmental permits issued
by the South Florida Water Management District and the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.


Fruit tree map
20 02 2010
How to plot fruit trees in your area:
Having a street directory is useful to accurately plot down the trees in your area but all you really need is a pen and paper. Google maps will allow you to zoom in until you see the shape of private blocks with the street numbers as well as small alleyways that aren't always shown on other maps. So all you need to do is write down the address of the fruit tree i.e. Outside of house 72 Blyth St and then you can simply find the house and tree on Google maps later.
Using google maps you can easily plot down the fruit trees in your area.
Creating a feral fruit tree map is easy. Here are the basic steps:
 1. View Feral fruit trees Melbourne in a larger map.
 2. Sign in to your google account if you haven't already.
 3. Click Edit in the top left hand corner
 4. Zoom into the area you want to plot.
 5. Use the icons in the top left corner of the map. These include:
 Select button Selection tool. Use this to drag the map and select placemarks..
 Placemark button Placemark tool. Use this to plot fruit trees.
This will edit the overall map of fruit trees in Melbourne and plot the new trees you have added for everyone to view.
*Remember to add the name of the tree ie. (pomegranate, apple etc) plus any descriptive features which may aid in finding the tree, for example 'in front of house number 36, hanging over fence, in front of church etc'
*Feral Fruit Trees map has been unavailable due to changes in Google's system. We've added another fruit tree map here for your use in the same way.

Feral fruit trees are fruit trees growing in or overhanging public spaces that are accessible to the urban hunter-gatherer. This website seeks to promote localized food gathering in cities where food is being obtained from increasingly distant sources. The current system of food delivery into urban centres poses unnecessary strain upon both the economy and the environment due to transportation costs. Feral fruit tree harvesting transforms our current food distribution system into a more sustainable alternative and promotes a consciousness of the ecology within our urban environments. Urban hunter-gatherers can also enjoy the benefit of fresh fruit that is often organic and not to mention free.
Fruit lying outside the boundary of private property for instance on a branch hanging over a fence is considered to be public property and therefore anyone can legally take the fruit. Please don't take any fruit that is over someone's fence even if it is in close reach as this is technically stealing. It always pays to just ask the owner, usually they won't mind no one is really going to eat a whole tree of figs or loquats. Some people may be sensitive about having the fruit from their tree taken even if it is hanging into public space; therefore even though you are within your rights to take the fruit, common courtesy should be employed. eg. Please don't make some old Greek guy angry by taking fruit when he doesn't want you to.
Furthermore a few easy guidelines should be followed in order to ensure the sustainability and fair distribution of this precious public resource.
 1. Do not be greedy. Take only as much fruit as you need as there may be other fruit pickers in the area who wish to eat the fruit as well.
 2. Try not to damage the tree or the area around the tree. It would be wise to use a proper cutting tool to ensure clean cuts that do less damage to the tree. Try not to rip any leaves, branches or trample any plants below. I was told one story about a Mulberry tree that everyone used to plunder, the owner got so sick of people trampling his other plants from eating the berries that he unfortunately ended up cutting down the tree.
With this in mind I bid you good luck on your fruit foraging adventures around the city.

Fuel Flow Transmitter
A Fuel Flow Transmitter measures the rate of flow and converts this to an electrical signal to drive a meter or other equipment. In this Transmitter a turbine is used as the driving element in place of the conventional electric rotor. Turbine speed is controlled by a spring-operated valve, which allows some fuel to by-pass the turbine at high flow rates. This feature has improved transmitter reliability, significantly reduced transmitter size and weight, eliminated the need for an electrical power supply and, allied with improvements to the pulse pick-off, has allowed the transmitter harness to be reduced to three wires in an enveloping screen.
The original Tornado Turbine Driven True Mass Flowmeter Trans¬mitter was fitted to DAI and DA2 with RB199 engines.
A Dry Fuel Flowmeter was initially fitted to the EJ200 engine. This was de¬velopment of the Tornado flowmeter to meet the EJ200 engine require¬ments and it first flew on the DA3 aircraft.
A new Total Fuel Flowmeter was however, required to measure very high dry/ reheat mass fuel flowrates with extremely low pressure drop and high resistance to fuel contamination debris. This was the unit fitted to production aircraft.
This unit is a Dry Fuel Flowmeter initially fitted to the EJ200 engine.

Ultrafast dynamics of excess electrons in molten salts: Part II.† Femtosecond investigations of Na–NaBr and Na–NaI melts
Ultrafast dynamics of excess electrons in Na–NaBr and Na–NaI molten solutions at elevated temperatures (T = 953–1128 K) were investigated over an extended wavelength range. Modelling the time profiles resulted in two time constants τ1 = (200 ± 40) fs and τ2 = (2.8 ± 0.4) ps for both systems at 1073 K. All transients can be understood in terms of dynamical equilibria between polaron and Drude-type electrons as well as polaron and Drude-type electron forming bipolarons. In agreement with our earlier results for K–KCl melts the fast component is assigned to the relaxation of Drude-type electrons into polarons while the longer component, τ2, represents the time during which Drude-type electrons recombine with polarons leading to bipolarons. In addition, the temperature dependence was studied in Na–NaI: Decreasing the temperature to 953 K resulted in an increase of the time constants to τ1 = (360 ± 50) fs and τ2 = (4.3 ± 0.7) ps, respectively. At temperatures, where the ionic diffusion in Na–NaI melts becomes comparable to Na–NaBr melts, the time constants for the relaxation processes also coincide. The temperature-dependent investigations resulted in an Arrhenius activation energy of (25 ± 5) kJ mol−1 for Na–NaI melts in good agreement with literature data.

Garnish, an embellishment added to a food to enhance its appearance or taste. Simple garnishes such as chopped herbs, decoratively cut lemons, parsley and watercress sprigs, browned breadcrumbs, sieved hardcooked eggs, and broiled tomatoes are appropriate to a wide variety of foods; their purpose is to provide contrast in colour, texture, and taste, and to give a finished appearance to the dish.
In the classic cuisine of France, garnishes comprised any accompaniment to a principal dish—vegetables and starch dishes fell under this definition. Further, basic dishes could be varied by the selection of one of a codified array of garnishes. Under this system a chicken, for example, could be served à la archiduc, with a sauce of paprika and cream; à la forestière, with morels and potatoes, à la bouquetière, with an array of individually cooked, decoratively cut vegetables, and so on into hundreds of formulations.

VoIPshield, a VoIP security solutions company based in Ottawa, Canada, recently discovered vulnerabilities affecting the RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol), a standard data format used for delivery of audio and instant messaging packets over the Internet. Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, Microsoft Office Communicator, and Microsoft Windows Live Messenger.
This excerpt from the VoIPshield press release explains the issue further: "Most of the attention in enterprise VoIP/UC security has been paid to the control channel, where SIP and other signalling protocols are used," said Ken Kousky, CEO of security research and analysis firm IP3 and advisor to the VoIP Lab at Illinois Institute of Technology. "Until now, the media stream has been largely ignored by the security community as a source of malicious activity. But attacks from these vectors have the potential to be dangerously persistent and widespread."
There are an estimated 250 million computers running at least one of these applications. If exploited, the discovered vulnerabilities could result in a DoS (denial-of-service) attack that impacts not just the affected application, but the entire computer system. VoIPshield's research and disclosure are specific to the Microsoft products mentioned, but they note that these same protocols are used elsewhere and that other VoIP and communications applications are likely impacted by similar vulnerabilities in the media delivery channel.

I have a class WorkerPool that has an array declared as
private $live_resources = array();
In the class there is a loop that under a certain condition, adds an item to the array like this
$this->live_resources[$id] = 0;
After this there is a worker started as a new process. Once the worker has completed a task, it calls the method on WorkerPool called live_fixture_processed() by way of a callback. The callback is defined as
$callback = array($this, 'live_fixture_processed');
Then the callback is called in the worker by
call_user_func($callback, $id);
This method changes the value in the array like this
$this->live_resources[$id] = 1;
It then calls another method that uses that array, and the change to the array looks to have been successful.
Meanwhile the class continues on its loop, and after a while it gets to using the $this->live resources array, but the value has reverted to 0!
I have also added a string variable
private $called = ''
that is also set in the callback, but in the subsequent loop has not been changed either. Is there an issue with the scope of a private variable used in a callback?

Short answer: I can't do this.
Long answer: I was forgetting that the worker is in fact a separate physical process to the workerpool running process. What I am doing may appear to work, but that is because when the child process is forked from the pool process it contains all the code of the original parent process, but it is now just running its own event loop. If I need the child processes to communicate anything more than a simple exit signal back to the parent workerpool process I had to use some form of IPC (Inter Process Communication)

In China, the art of face reading has always been considered an indispensable tool to understanding the human psyche and the fates. Chinese Philosopher Gui Gu Tzu is widely acknowledged as the father of face reading and his book Xiang Bian Wei Mang is still in print today!
The Chinese art of face reading is complex technique that categorizes individual facial features according to color, shape, disfigurements and birthmarks on specific areas of the face. One of the methods used in face reading to determine times of your life where you will face obstacles and difficulties involves the demarcation of the plane of the face into different age periods.
In general, your ears and the top part of your face represent the early part of your life when you are in your pre-teens, teens and early twenties. As you live through your life, you progress down your face towards your eyebrows, nose, cheeks, lips and finally, your chin. The diagram here shows in more detail where your current age falls within your face.
Using the diagram here, determine which part of your face you are currently at. If your age is on the left side of your face, it is work and career matters that take up your time. If you are at the center part of your face, you are at a crossroad in your life.
Marks, discolorations, spots, creases and indentations indicate problems. And where they are found on your face gives you an idea at what age you will be facing such problems. Problem can be in the form of illness, bad relationships, money troubles and so forth. The bigger and the darker the mark on you face, the more serious the problem you will face.
If you have a birthmark on one of your ears, for examples, this indicates a difficult time during your childhood years. Marks on your nose indicate a tough time in your twenties. Discoloration at the end your nose point to troubles in your forties.
Generally, when your forehead is flawed, it means you will have a difficult relationship with your parents. (Or it could indicate you were a bit of a rebel when you were a troublesome teen!) When your forehead is small or bony, it indicates your parents were not well heeled and could not afford expensive schooling fees. If you have a broad forehead, it indicates easy and pampered growing up years. Markings, spots, scars and indentations in your face can change overtime, which denotes that your life fate is not fixed, but can change through the years. This could be the result of the trinity of luck working together, where good mankind and earth luck influences your heaven luck.
If you find you are at a difficult age period in your life, one way to deal with it is to grit your teeth and be even more determined to improve the other two third of your luck to compensate or the unlucky fates. Or get yourself a bottle of moisturizing cream and book yourself in for a facial to iron out the trouble spots on your features.

This is Me™ was developed by Fran Campbell of the Filipino-American community, specifically for Heritage Camps of Adoptive Families. This is Me™ is a unique set of activities for high school teens that seek to assist them in the development of a positive bicultural identity. The need to establish a bicultural identity emerges most strongly for adopted youth during adolescence and young adulthood.
This sense of self or "identity" is multi-faceted and very personal for each adoptee. It is not simple, but beautifully complex, having pieces of their birth culture as well as the experience growing up in a community where their racial/cultural group is not widely represented.
Why is This is Me™ important?
In November of 2009, the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute published a groundbreaking study titled, "Beyond Culture Camp: Promoting Healthy Identity formation in Adoption." Several recommendations from this report are worth noting by parents, counselors and educators, but we agree with that there is a need for not only strategies that promote cultural socialization, but experiences that give adoptees additional support on "racial and cultural identification, and comfort" (8).
Adoptees often share that they feel different: not like the people they have met from their birth country, and not like people they know who were born in the United States. We believe that the task of parents and educators is to help adoptees explore how they are uniquely from two cultures. This bicultural identity needs to be defined by each of them with support from other adoptees, parents, and other family members during their Heritage Camp experience.
At each camp, members of the appropriate cultural/racial community lead these workshops with Fran at the helm, to ask and answer culturally specific questions, find out what makes a culture what it is, talk about how and where our adoptees can fit in, and role play situations they may encounter as they leave the relative safety of home and community to go to college, or into the work environment, etc.
This is Me™ has been a valuable way for our cultural community members to interact with the high school campers that is honest and meaningful, sharing their own experiences growing up in another culture and trying to fit in. There are many similarities that have nothing to do with being adopted, but simply with being of another race or culture than the majority.

Synonyms of none in English:
2 none of this concerns me
no part, not a bit, not any
It is sometimes held that none can take only a singular verb, never a plural verb: none of them is coming tonight, rather than none of them are coming tonight. There is little justification, historical or grammatical, for this view. None is descended from Old English nān, meaning 'not one,' and has been used for around a thousand years with both a singular and a plural verb, depending on the context and the emphasis needed

What is Squonking?
Squonking is a term used to describe a bottom fed atomiser. The term comes from the noise a bottle makes when you squeeze it (squonk). The squonker was made as vapers got tired of re dripping into an RDA. Mods were designed with a bottle inside that you can fill with e-liquid. A "squonk" pin with a whole through the middle is then installed into the atomiser to allow liquid to rise from below when you squeeze the bottle This fills the chamber with eliquid and wets the wicks. The act of letting go of the bottle draws the excess from the chamber.


- How to Maintain a Idler Pulley from the Best Technicians in Winter Park
 Posted on July 6, 2019
 Car Idler Pulley
 Owning a vehicle takes a lot of time, consideration, and attention. You have to keep up with monthly services in order for it to maintain its effectiveness. This is especially important when dealing with potentially dangerous engine issues. When your engine is in bad condition, it not only impacts the way your vehicle performs, it also ruins your wallet. Should you allow engine issues to compile, it could result in possible engine failure over time.
 Because of this, paying attention to slight changes in your engine could save you thousands in possible repairs and replacement costs. One change that could harm your engine is a problem with the idler pulley. Let's take a look at this part, discuss what it does, and advise you where to go for proper repairs.
 What is an idler pulley?
 In order for your vehicle to operate properly, every piece from the engine to the wheels must work together to create a flawless function. While some parts are more important than others, they each play a vital role in keeping your car in strong and in excellent condition. One of those key parts that make your vehicle run has to do with the idler pulley.
 The idler pulley acts as a connecting bridge between important parts of your engine such as the air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, alternator, and water pump.
 In order for these pieces to produce and convert energy sent to the engine, the idler pulley must be in excellent working condition. If not, this could result in a domino effect of problems ranging from interior leaks to possible engine failure.
 What role does the idler pulley play in your vehicle?
 The idler pulley is set atop a mount and specifically works to create a smooth transition from key parts to the engine belt. This helps to prevent rough transitions, idling, and even slipping. By keeping everything in place, your engine is able to effectively run and keep your car running smoothly for years to come.
 Signs You are Experiencing Idler Pulley Issues
 There are several signs that could indicate your idler pulley is in bad condition. Let's consider a few:
 Odd Noises: If you hear squealing or screeching noises from your car when starting it up, this may be a clear indication of idler pulley issues. This could be due to blockages or even a miscommunication between the idler pulley and other parts of the vehicle.
 Wear and Tear: In order to diagnose this issue, you have to physically open the hood of your car and assess the condition of your idler pulley. If this piece has signs of wear and tear, it may be wise to take it to a professional for an overall replacement.
 A Pulley That Won't Move: Often times, if your idler pulley is damaged or in bad condition, it may have to do with a frozen piece. The best way you can check to see if your pulley is stuck is to see if it rotates when prompted. If it gets stuck and doesn't move in a smooth manner, that's a clear indication that your piece is frozen and in need of a replacement.
 Improper Route: One of the best ways to check this issue is to run your engine on idle. Pay attention to where your idler pulley is going. If it is moving at a slower speed, this may be a clear indication of a problem. Your belt should move at a steady speed, especially when it's idle. Therefore, if it's operating at an improper speed, schedule an appointment with your mechanic immediately.
 Why You Should Take Your Vehicle To A Professional
 When dealing with issues revolving your engine, it's especially important to take it to a trustworthy mechanic. Online forums and self-help guides are useful for small problems. However, they don't replace the hand of a professional, especially if it concerns issues with your engine. You would hate to accidentally ruin your engine because of a simple rookie mistake.

Dux Motus, latin/ Movement Guide
"what would happen if you were able to visualize and interact with a three-dimensional dance score within an immersive environment?"
Dux Motus? is a movement exploration tool for VR provoking non-habitual actions in users from a wide range of backgrounds through an immersive and interactive dance score. Within the virtual environment, users interact with 3D objects that act as stimuli, prompting and encouraging them to utilise their intuition and interpretation to generate performative movement.
The tool's framework is constructed using the principles of dance scores, dance notation, and structured improvisation, building on theories of Rudolf von Laban, Motif Writing, and William Forsythe to create a novel 3D notation system that is interactive and easy to grasp.
Presented with a structured sequence of interactive objects, the experience provides users with improvisational parameters in which they can visualise and interpret somatic cues in real-time, as opposed to performing a previously learnt sequence of movement. The system is comprised of 'notational' objects that provide movement, behavioral, and qualitative information in order to connect one's physicality with integral performance components – feeling, emotion, intention, sensation – in addition to affective feedback from the VR environment.
Dux Motus aims to create opportunity for discovery and afford new ways of thinking in movement to people, regardless of previous experience of dance training. In providing an immersive space for sensory-kinetic and somatic exploration, it fosters an environment in which individuals can freely express movement that is authentic to them.
Immersive environments provide the opportunity for dancers to see and physically engage with a score that guides their improvisation. Virtual reality allows dancers to respond without anticipation to prescriptive scores by generating real-time interaction with virtual objects. Visuals created in VR have the capability to connect with the mind while providing an intrinsically somatic experience for the user. The notion of imagery guiding improvisation, previously exclusive to the mind of the dancer, being visible within an immersive environment led my design process.
The design of the VR environment is rooted deeply in research and theory. While its design will continue to develop, certain fundamental aspects will remain. By creating a simple and clean VR environment, the users can focus on the notational objects as their primary source of movement information. However, the environment is designed to add additional feedback by transforming physical elements and providing affective information via changes in atmospheric conditions. Additionally, the VR environment will be designed with reference points to orient the dancer within the virtual space and ground them while moving.
Both the VR environment and the user's physical environment have great impact on their movement. Sensory information is taken from both environments, transforming the outcome and giving each user a unique experience. This tool draws upon both architecture and dance as critical components in its design, for spaces we inhabit alter our experiences. It is worth noting William Forsythe's improvisation technique, Room Writing, where the dancer is asked to draw upon architectural and physical elements of a room and translate them into movement. By creating a tool where both the environment and score are unique and unpredictable, the performative outcome will always differ.
This tool uses the Oculus Quest VR headset and hand-tracking to provide a guide for improvisation. The user enters the VR space and is prompted by a notational object. Objects vary in shape and behaviour, but all provide both movement and qualitative information. Two types of objects guide the user through the score: Incoming objects, which approach the user, and Gravitating objects, which beckon the user. The objects can respond to a user's interactions, thus providing more movement feedback. The score is designed so that the user is only interacting with one object at a time, allowing for flow of movement, while encouraging intuitive non-habitual movement responses. The notation objects also provide affective information through sound. There is no "correct" way to interact with an object, and completely up to the user to explore all options.
The design of this project is still in progress. This iteration stands as a foundation for my future design of both the environment and the notation objects. This project will continue to be developed in Unity, and will be tested on various users to enhance its value as an improvisational tool and experience.

Happy June from the Department of Distance Learning. As the first mini session is progressing, there have been some questions about weighting grades in Blackboard. Since most of you weight by category, there is a three step process:
- Set up categories (and remove duplicates).
Manage > Categories
- Set up category weights in your weighted grade column.
Weighted Column > Edit Column Information
- Assign a category to all items that will be graded.
Manage > Column Organization
In addition to the steps above, here are a few items that frequently cause problems:
- Items must be "included in Grade Center calculations" in the item settings.
- An item must include "possible points" to affect the calculation.
- When selecting "Yes" for Calculate as Running total, make sure to assign a Zero for items not attempted or students will not be penalized for not attempting the assignment (excused absence).
The following short video might be helpful in setting up Grade Weighting (start at 1:35 if you weight by category, rather than by individual items). Weighting Grades in Blackboard 9.1 (4:53)
Please see the following document for a list of known issues in Blackboard and solutions or work arounds:


$h(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum integer $k$ such that the Hunter player has a winning strategy (i.e., allowing him to win whatever be the strategy of the Rabbit player). This game has been studied in several graph classes, in particular in bipartite graphs (grids, trees, hypercubes...), but the computational complexity of computing $h(G)$ remains open in general graphs and even in more restricted graph classes such as trees. To progress further in this study, we propose a notion of monotonicity (a well-studied and useful property in classical pursuit-evasion games such as Graph Searching games) for the \textsc{Hunters and Rabbit} game imposing that, roughly, a vertex that has already been shot ''must not host the rabbit anymore''. This allows us to obtain new results in various graph classes.
More precisely, let the monotone hunter number $mh(G)$ of a graph $G$ be the minimum integer $k$ such that the Hunter player has a monotone winning strategy. We show that $pw(G) \leq mh(G) \leq pw(G)+1$ for any graph $G$ with pathwidth $pw(G)$, which implies that computing $mh(G)$, or even approximating $mh(G)$ up to an additive constant, is \textsf{NP}-hard. Then, we show that $mh(G)$ can be computed in polynomial time in split graphs, interval graphs, cographs and trees. These results go through structural characterisations which allow us to relate the monotone hunter number with the pathwidth in some of these graph classes. In all cases, this allows us to specify the hunter number or to show that there may be an arbitrary gap between $h$ and $mh$, i.e., that monotonicity does not help. In particular, we show that, for every $k\geq 3$, there exists a tree $T$ with $h(T)=2$ and $mh(T)=k$. We conclude by proving that computing $h$ (resp., $mh$) is \FPT~parameterised by the minimum size of a vertex cover.
