As cities and counties across Southeast Florida strive to build a sustainable, resilient, and prosperous region, public policy efforts must produce benefits that are shared by all. The Compact recognizes that climate vulnerabilities are exacerbated by inequities and injustice. RCAP 2.0 seeks to address the socioeconomic challenges to building resilience in high-vulnerability communities, often limited-income communities and/or communities of color.
The Compact shares the Southeast Florida Regional Partnership's definition of equity, as outlined in the Seven50: SE Florida Prosperity Plan:
Equity: Just and fair inclusion. The goals of equity must be to create conditions that allow all individuals and communities to reach their full potential to the benefit of the individual and the larger regional community. An equitable region is one in which all can participate and prosper in their communities and in the regional economy, and where benefits and burdens are shared fairly.
Within Southeast Florida, individuals, neighborhoods, and communities may experience geographic vulnerability if they have proximity to a current or future hazard (e.g., if they live in a low-lying area prone to flooding or a heat island). These groups have socioeconomic vulnerability if they lack the resources, financial or other, to be able to mitigate the hazard or to move away from it. Many residents within the region's high-vulnerability communities may have also been left behind by recent economic booms, resulting in increased challenges to achieve the financial stability needed to safely weather more intense storms, heat, and floods fueled by climate change.
Equity should be an integral part of policy making at every level of government within Southeast Florida, and should be understood as a policy objective in developing plans, budgets, and in prioritizing and designing climate projects. Historically disadvantaged communities will continue to be the most vulnerable to climate change threats, unless action is taken to create targeted policies and resources. In addition, efforts to create more resilient and sustainable communities, if not designed thoughtfully, can benefit some residents while harming others. The recommendations within this section represent tangible actions that local governments can take in meeting these responsibilities.

WAEE conference participants who chose to attend the field
trip to the Southern Door School Forest were treated to a beautiful fall
afternoon. We were guided on a tour through the forest by elementary principal Laurie
Connell and school forest coordinator Mike Toneys. The 50 acre property
contains a diversity of habitats including a mixed hardwood forest, field,
pond, spruce plantation, and cave. This forest has some of the largest beech
trees I have ever seen! Trails run throughout the entire property and are
clearly marked on the sign located at the entrance to the forest.
What are students learning about at the forest? Here is a
snippet of a few of the things we discovered: Students and teachers gravitate
toward the pond to study the living organisms that inhabit it. There are a
handful of crudely constructed wildlife observation blinds that high school
students use to collect data. Beginning in elementary school, each student
receives a plot of land to study and collect data about each year. By the time
the students reach high school, they have ten to twelve years' worth of
research data. What a great longitudinal study!
Facilities on the property include a nature center and sugar
shack for maple syrup production. The nature center is a beautifully
refurbished farm building. This enclosed shelter is a place for classes to
gather and provides storage for supplies.
One of the most unique features of the school forest site is
the cave. While it is not accessible to students or staff, the Southern Door School
proudly boasts of its future environmental benefits. The cave entrance is
sealed, but has the potential to help rejuvenate the Wisconsin bat population currently
under threat from disease.
The Southern Door forest is a diverse property that hosts
excellent learning opportunities for the students and teachers who are fortunate
to be a part of this community. If you would like further information about the
Southern Door School Forest or its educational programming, please contact Mike
Toneys at _EMAIL_.

Do diabetic test strips expire?
Yes, diabetic test strips expire. To understand why diabetic test strips expire, you need to know a little bit about how they work. Test strips contain enzymes that help convert glucose into electricity—this electrochemical signal is read by your meter and translated into the number that appears on your screen. Diabetic test strips expire because these enzymes degrade over time. As the enzymes degrade, the electrochemical signal being sent to the meter will become weaker, resulting in lower readings. Test strips are also highly sensitive to heat and humidity and will expire more quickly when exposed to excess heat or humidity. Most test strip containers contain a substance that absorbs moisture to protect the test strips when they are exposed to moist climates. The substance can only absorb so much moisture before it becomes saturated so test strips need to be protected from moisture as much as possible. The amount of heat/humidity that causes an inaccurate reading varies depending on the brand of test strips. A good rule of thumb is to keep test strips between 40°F-86°F (4°C-30°C) and to limit exposure to the environment by keeping vials closed between testing and using test strips within 6 months of opening vials. Control solutions should also be used periodically to make sure you are receiving accurate readings. Control solutions, while helpful, do not provide very precise measurements. They usually come in low, normal, and high ranges. Low control solutions measure levels between ~30-60 mg/dL, normal control solutions measure levels between ~70-120 mg/dL, and high control solutions measure levels between ~250-400. As you can see these are large ranges and should not be the sole method used to determine if readings are accurate. If you don't think you are getting an accurate reading you should test with a different meter and test strips and compare the readings or take your meter and test strips to the doctors office and have them test it against their equipment.

Get to know the Types of Press And Motor Press Body Tools
Motor press is often done for certain damage to motor components. Usually the damage caused by an accident or hit by a hard object that makes certain components change shape. If so, the use of a motor press body tool is indispensable.
Actually, press motor is not just for body or frame only. However, there are also several other types of motor press such as triangular parts, rim presses, disc disc presses, press as shock and many others. Although it looks simple, but the motor press there are many luckily.
For example, instead of replacing the body motor with a new spare part, then the press motor is more efficient. It also does not take time. But remember, not all motor damage can be compressed. Because only a few damages can bepressed using the best motor press body tool.
Given there is minor, severe or moderate damage. That is, when an accident is indeed damage to the motor is not the same. In some circumstances, it is recommended that you change the spare part so that the body of the other motor is not affected by the press motor.
Triangular Press
Triangular press becomes one of the most commonly used types of press in addition to the motor press body tool. So if a part of the motor is hit or falls, it's likely that the triangle will twist or bend aka no longer center.
To know if the triangle is bent or not, you can see from the front wheel with a straight front drill or not. If the drill runs to the left, while the front wheel is to the right, it proves that the triangle is crooked.
Similarly, if the drill runs to the right and the front wheel runs to the left, then the possibility of the square is also crooked. Is it just a triangle that can be pressed using a cheap motor press body tool? The answer is of course no.
It usually seep into other components such as the front axle, disc disc disc, as shock ahead of the DNA of other parts of the component around it. Special parts of the shock pipe are usually required to re-check and require a press at all.
As mentioned earlier, if the damage is already severe, it is worth replacing the spare part so as not to interfere with comfort and safety while driving. Because press using the motor press body tool does not guarantee to be 100% back as original.
The cost of the motor triangle press also varies because it corresponds to the damage. In the market the press tariff for this motor triangle is Rp 50 thousand to 100 thousand. But still depends on the motor press body tool used quality or not.
Press Body Motor
This press is considered more extreme than before because the cover of the triangular body needs to be removed first. The goal is nothing but toenter or straighten and restore a twisted chassis or frame due to an accident or fall.
To see if the chassis can be done press body or have to replace the spare part, you should see the rear spakbor with a straight rear wheel or not center. It can also be seen from the distance between the handlebar steering wheel and the front seat.
If it turns out that it is necessary to press body using a professional motor press body tool usually done the change of the comstir part first. Because the old steel pelor is damaged due to impact caused by falling or hard collision.
The cost for compressing the body motor also varies because it is adjusted badly or not the chassis in the motor body. It is also related to the experience of the press body motor itself.
Usually an experienced press with the best motor press body tool the price is quite high. The tariff range of this motor press body part is Rp 250 thousand to Rp 350 thousand according to the severe or not framework of the motor.
Press Wheels
Surely you already know if in the market there are two types of wheels that are often used in their respective motors. The type of rim in question is the rim of the fingers and also the racing wheel or the cross rim. The cause of damage to the body part of the motor is the same, it could be due to a collision or a hard impact.
Whether it's a collision, a crash or a bumpy road. Racing wheels are generally bent in the tread section or most severely broken. But it is different from the rim of the type of radius. The damage to the rim is caused by bends in the fingers and the tread of the rim.
The use of motor press body tools for wheels is simpler than the previous two types of presses. because it can be pressed rim or can also weld babet on the surface of the rim that previously broke. To make the rim results better, it is recommended to change this section only.
Those are the types of motor presses that are on the market. Of course each section has its own name. But instead of having to use a press body motor, for severe damage is expected to change to be safer.

Philip Burne-Jones holding a cat
The Vampire, Philip Burne-Jones' most famous work
Sir Philip Burne-Jones, 2nd Baronet (1861–1926) was the first child of the British Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir Edward Burne-Jones and his wife Georgiana Macdonald. He became a well-known painter in his own right, producing more than 60 paintings, including portraits, landscapes, and poetic fantasies.
Life and career[edit]
He was born in London, England in 1861 and was educated at Marlborough College. He attended Oxford University for two years, but dropped out. To appease his parents over this failure, he agreed to take lessons in painting in London.
Philip did focus on painting seriously. His level of skill was high and he exhibited his work in well-known galleries in London and Paris. The Royal Academy exhibited his work eleven times of between 1898 and 1918, and his work was also shown in the Paris Salon of 1900. There he exhibited his portrait of his father, now in the National Portrait Gallery. He painted the portraits of many well-known names of the times.
His most famous work, The Vampire, depicting a woman straddling an unconscious man, was believed to have been modelled by the actress Mrs Patrick Campbell, with whom Burne-Jones had been romantically linked.[1] The painting also inspired Rudyard Kipling's poem of the same name.
Having a famous father was difficult for him, and it was Philip's fate in life that his work was often compared unfavourably with that of his father.
A baronetcy having been bestowed on his father in 1894, upon his father's death in 1898 Philip succeeded to the title. It is said that his father had only accepted it because Philip was so keen to inherit the title.
Burne-Jones visited the United States in 1902, where he was popular in fashionable society. He lived out most of his life in London, where he died in 1926.

What are the lights on a ceiling fan called?
Fluorescent light ceiling fans use compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) and use 75% less energy than incandescent lights.
Can you use a sconce as a ceiling light?
Such wall-light fixtures use low-wattage bulbs to reduce glare while providing plenty of light. To install a wall-mounted light, you'll use a ceiling box and wire just as you would for a ceiling light. Most sconces mount with a center stud so you can level the fixture even if the box is not level.
How long do ceiling fan LED lights last?
One of the biggest benefits of an LED ceiling fan is that the bulb won't need to be changed as frequently as one using incandescents. Some LED bulbs can last between 50,000 and 100,000 hours, which translates to six years when run all day everyday with no breaks.
What is the glass around a light called?
mantle. noun. a glass cover that you put over a flame to make a bright light.
Can I mount a wall sconce on the ceiling?
Wall sconces are one of the few fixtures that we install for different uses, and different levels of light, depending on the room. And it's possibly the oldest type of lighting fixture in existence. All of the other fixtures inside our houses are mounted either in or on the ceiling, or they sit on a table or the floor.
Can I use a 100 watt LED bulb in a ceiling fan?
The bottom line? If your fixture is rated to accept 60 Watts, you can safely use 75W, 100W, or even 125W equal bulbs (which all draw less than 50 Watts of power) instead.
Why won't LED bulbs work in my ceiling fan?
Check to see that the bulbs are screwed into their sockets. Check that the bulbs have the proper wattage for the ceiling fan light assembly. Confirm that the non-working bulb is burned out by testing it in a working lamp. Replace any burned out bulbs with new bulbs that have the correct wattage.
Are LED bulbs OK for ceiling fans?
You can certainly use LEDs in a ceiling fan as long as it's attached to a toggle switch or has a pull chain design. Choosing LED bulbs might also allow you to have a brighter fixture, so that's another great reason to make the switch.
Can I change light fixture myself?
With 30 minutes and some basic tools, you can easily switch out a light fixture yourself. Follow these steps to tackle this simple yet high-impact project.
Do ceiling fans add to home value?
Adding ceiling fans to rooms like bedrooms, the living room, or family room will add value to your home immediately.

Taking a Look at Scottish Golf
If there is one sport that is the most popular in America today, it has to be golf. Golf is a popular club-and-disc sport where people use different clubs to shoot balls into a series of holes in a specific course as few strokes as humanly possible. When you first play a game of golf, you stand at the starting line and use a golf club to hit a ball that is shaped like a golf club. You then use a set of clubs that have different ends to hit different balls. There are many different types of clubs that you can play with, but in this article I'm only talking about the ones that are commonly used by professional golfers. If you want to learn more about the history of golf, or even how you can pick up a nifty new trick for swinging the club better, read on!
Golf was actually developed in Scotland, specifically in what is now known as the Highland Country. The first golf course was built at a place called Duncraig Park. This was actually the first golf course built in Scotland and the first one to be open to the public. The public loved the golf course, so many came, and since then, there have been several golf courses built in the area. Scotland is truly a golf heaven.
Golf has always been a popular sport in Scotland. In the early 15th century, King James I (yes, the king of England) personally visited his buddy John Bissard (yes, the same guy who introduced beer to the world back in the 15th century). Bissard had invited the king and his entourage to the golf course at his country estate of Balblair Castle. Here, they played a lot of golf, and the game really became popular. From there, golf spread all over Scotland, with most courses being public.
When Scotland first hosted the British Royal Tour in 1875, it was in Stratchclyde Country Park. This golf course was immediately popular, and so was David Mulligan's new course at Stratchclyde. Golf courses started springing up everywhere in Scotland, and the popularity just kept on growing. Golf courses were built in Stratchclyde Country Park, Stratchclyde High Street and even into town. Golf courses just got bigger in the following years, and now, there are literally hundreds of golf courses open throughout Scotland.
Golf courses started getting built on golf courses. David Mulligan built the very first private golf course, in Ayrshire. The Pee Dee golf course was built by John White, and later, there were also public golf courses built in Ayrshire and other parts of Scotland. With the popularity of golf, more companies started offering golf-related services in Scotland. Service companies such as Scottish Power offered electrical services, plumbing services, as well as other services related to golf courses.
In the coming years, Scotland became the birth place for many of the world's most popular tourneys. The practice of golf courses spread all across the country. This practice brought about a huge influx of tourists who wanted to learn how to play golf. As a result, new golf courses started springing up all over Scotland. The golf courses became huge tourist attractions.
Because of all these new developments, the golf courses started competing against each other. Golf courses started offering luxurious amenities to their visitors. They started to build hotels that could accommodate their guests. They also built golf resorts that were meant solely for golfers. Today, Scotland is known for its top quality golf courses.
There are still many golf courses that aren't as luxurious as they used to be. Some have only basic amenities. But because of the new developments, golf courses in Scotland have become some of the best in the world. These courses are known for being challenging, and they are an enjoyable way to spend a day on the course.

Measuring a tree's carbon footprint
The economic cost of the Forest Pansy's lifecycle was calculated at roughly $98, while its carbon footprint was measured at negative 63 kg CO2e.
By Brooks Hays | June 30, 2014 at 2:21 PM

WASHINGTON, June 30 (UPI) -- More and more people are aware of their daily carbon footprint. Humans have calculated the carbon footprint of train travel, transatlantic jets, TVs, washing machines, presidential campaigns and more. But what is the carbon footprint of a newly planted tree?
Planting a tree is largely regarded as an environmentally friendly act. But when it comes to absorbing and emitting CO2, some landscaping trees are friendlier than others. Now, thanks to researchers at the American Society for Horticultural Science, we know the carbon footprint of the flowering Forest Pansy, or redbud tree.
As part of a new study on the positive economic and environmental benefits of landscaped trees, researchers Charles R. Hall and Dewayne Ingram demonstrated how the carbon and economic footprints of a variety of plants can be calculated -- so everyone from farmers to backyard gardeners to urban planners can make more intelligent purchasing and planting decisions.
Expressed in units of tons (or kilograms) of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e), a tree's carbon footprint is the measure of all greenhouse gases emitted during its life cycle -- that means its planting and care at its original nursery or farm, its transportation from birthplace to new home, and its maturing days lived out in yard, park, garden or forest.
"Knowing the carbon footprint of production and distribution components of field-grown trees will help nursery managers understand the environmental costs associated with their respective systems and evaluate potential system modifications to reduce greenhouse gas emissions," explained Ingram and Hall.
The researchers also monetized the different costs involved in raising and planting trees, including labor, equipment and transportation. The economic cost of the redbud's lifecycle was calculated at roughly $98, and its carbon footprint was measured at negative 63 kg CO2e.
"Our findings validate those of previous studies that found that input costs of production processes (machinery, water, fertilizers, pesticides, and energy) are a significant portion of the nursery variable operation costs," the authors wrote. "Thus, a more efficient use of these environmentally sensitive inputs cannot only reduce production costs for the nursery, but reduce their environmental risks or impacts as well."
The study was published in the journal HortScience.

How to measure stream flow rate
From Appropedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Figure One: A flowing mountain stream
Flow is the total volume of a fluid that flows past a fixed point in a river or stream over time. It is comparable to the speed at which a volume of fluid travels as seen in Figure One. Volumetric flow rates can be measured in various units such as:
 - liters/sec (lps)
 - cubic feet/sec (cfs)
 - gallons/min (gpm)
 - cubic meters/sec (cms)
Household tools or specialized meters can be used to find flow rates for pipes, sewage systems, and household appliances. People use flow data for Microhydro systems, wastewater systems, rainwater catchment, water auditing, settling rates, water table statistics, and other water related information. To find the flow of larger water bodies such major rivers or behind dams, meters are used.[1].
The purpose of this page is to describe low technology methods to determine flow of small streams and rivers and briefly introduce meters.
Measuring Flow[edit]
There are numerous ways to measure flow rate, such as:
Bucket method[edit]
Figure Two: An example of the Bucket Method
The Bucket method is a simple way to measure the flow rate using household items. It requires a stopwatch, a large bucket, and preferably two to three people. To measure the flow rate using the bucket method:
 1. Measure the volume of the bucket or container. Keep in mind that a typical 5 gallon bucket is often actually less than 5 gallons.
 2. Find a location along the stream that has a waterfall. If none can be found, a waterfall can be constructed using a weir (see Figure Four).
 3. With a stopwatch, time how long it takes the waterfall to fill the bucket with water. Start the stopwatch simultaneously with the start of the bucket being filled and stop the stopwatch when the bucket fills. The bucket should not be filled by holding it below the surface of the stream because it is not the true flow rate.
 4. Record the time it takes to fill the bucket.
 5. Repeat steps two and three about six or seven times and take the average. It is a good idea to do a few trial runs before recording any data so that one can get a feel for the timing and measurements required.
 6. Only eliminate data if major problems arise such as debris from the stream interfering with the flow.
 7. The flow rate is the volume of the bucket divided by the average time it took to fill the bucket. [2]
Bucket Method Data for Flow
Trial Number Time (seconds) Bucket Volume (gallons)
1 13.2 5
2 14 5
3 14.5 5
4 13 5
5 13.4 5
6 13.1 5
Here is an example using data found for the flow rate of the Jolly Giant Creek on Humboldt State University grounds: Using this data, the volumetric flow rate (Q) is equal to the volume of the bucket (V) divided by the average time (t).
where t=\frac{13.2s+14s+14.5s+13s+13.4s+13.1s}{6 trials}=13.5 seconds
so t = 13.5 seconds and V = 5 gallons
Q = \frac{V}{t}= \frac{5 gallons}{13.5 seconds} = 0.37 \frac{gallons}{second}
So the flow rate is 0.37 gallons/second or Q = 0.37 gal/sec * 60 sec/min = 22.2 gallons/minute. Therefore the flowrate (Q) is 22.2 GPM.
Float method[edit]
Figure Three: Finding the flow rate using a float and a meter stick.
The picture on the right shows plebeian in its natural habitat. The float method (also known as the cross-sectional method) is used to measure the flow rate for larger streams and rivers. It is found by multiplying a cross sectional area of the stream by the velocity of the water. To measure the flow rate using the float method:
 1. Locate a spot in the stream that will act as the cross section of the stream.
 2. Using a meter stick, or some other means of measurement, measure the depth of the stream at equal intervals along the width of the stream (see Figure Three). This method is similar to hand calculating a Riemann sum for the width of the river.
 3. Once this data is gathered, multiply each depth by the interval it was taken in and add all the amounts together. This calculation is the area of a cross section of the stream.
 4. Decide on a length of the stream, typically longer than the width of the river, to send a floating object down (oranges work great).[3] (L. Grafman, personal communication, November 2, 2009.)
 5. Using a stopwatch, measure the time it takes the float to travel down the length of stream from step 4.
 6. Repeat step five 5-10 times and determine the average time taken for the float to travel the stream. Throw the float into the water at differnet distances from the shoreline in order to gain a more accuartate average.
 7. Divide the stream length found in step 4 by the average time in step 6 to determine the average velocity of the stream.
 8. The velocity found in step 7 must be multiplied by a friction correction factor. Since the top of a stream flows faster than the bottom due to friction against the stream bed, the friction correction factor evens out the flow. For rough or rocky bottoms, multiply the velocity by 0.85. For smooth, muddy, sandy, or smooth bedrock conditions, multiply the velocity by a correction factor of 0.9. [4]
 9. The corrected velocity multiplied by the cross sectional area yields the flow rate in volume/time. (Be sure to keep consistent units of length/distance when measuring the cross section and the velocity eg. meters, feet)
I got the city on my back because all i do i swish no matter what.
Figure Four: An example of a V-notch weir
Weirs are small dams that can be used in measuring flow rate for small to medium sized streams (a few meters or wider). They allow overflow of the stream to pour over the top of the weir, creating a waterfall, as seen in Figure Four. Weirs increase the change in elevation making the streamflow more consistent which makes flow rate measurements more precise. However, it is very important that all the water in the stream be directed into the weir for it to accurately represent the stream flow. It is also important to keep sediment from building up behind the weir. Sharp crested weirs work best. [5] There are many different types of weirs which include broad crested weirs, sharp crested weirs, combination weirs, V-notch weirs and minimum energy loss weirs. [6]
Meters are devices that measure the stream flow by directly measuring the current. There are many different types of meters by the most common is the Pygmy meter, the vortex meter, the flow probe, and the current meter: They are briefly described below.

Epidemiology of imported malaria to Catalonia (Spain): 20012006
Abstract number: P746
Quesada M., Cardenosa N., Millet J.P., Acosta L., Oviedo M., Caylà J.A., García R., Rodríguez E., Sánchez L., Domínguez Á.
Objective: To describe the epidemiology of malaria imported to Catalonia in six years (20012006).
Methods: In this retrospective study, we investigated malaria using data provided by database reports of illness of obligatory declaration from 2001 to 2006. Epidemiological data were analysed by age, sex, country of origin, country and date of trip, reason of travel, chemoprophylaxis, type of malaria, specie of plasmodium, treatment, length of hospital stay and outcome.
Results: During the study period, 1000 cases were notified in Catalonia, 94% (944) laboratory confirmed. Missing information or indeterminate results affected all variables. Almost all malaria cases (99.8%, 936) were imported: 87.6% (784) from Africa, 8.7% (78) from Central and South America, 3.6% (32) from Asia and 0.1% (1) from Oceania, by 24% (192) Spanish citizens and 76% (623) immigrants. Forty-nine percent of cases (441) were imported from Western Africa. In 80% (674) of patients P. falciparum aetiology, 14% (120) P. vivax, 4% (32) P. ovale and 2% (15) P. malariae were confirmed. Among the subjects, 60% (600) were men. The youngest patient was 5 months and the oldest 92 years old, 52% of patients (522) were in the age group 21 to 40 years old. Most common reasons for travel were individual travel 43% (254), tourism 37% (219) and professional or missionary travel 17% (102). In 25% (210) cases some kind of chemoprophylaxis was documented, but only 29% (60) specified which drugs were taken and only 10% (21) of cases did it correctly. Chemoprophylaxis consisted in mefloquine in 57% (85) of cases, chloroquine phosphate in 12% (18) and doxicicline in 7% (10). Fifty-nine percent (533) of patients required hospitalisation and 16% (75) of them stayed at the hospital more than 7 days. Four cases of malaria death were reported, all of them due to P. falciparum infection. These patients were Spanish adults that travelled to African countries and did not take chemoprophylaxis. Two hundred three children living in Catalonia and travelling to their parents' endemic country of origin became infected by Plasmodium spp., 55% (111) of them did not take antimalarial drugs.
Conclusions: During the period 20012006 in Catalonia P. falciparum was the main aetiology. Western Africa is the region and the continent from which most cases are imported. Immigrants contribute with most of cases. Children and Spanish adults deserve special attention because they often do not take preventive measures.

The Kid Should See This
A monster-sized bridge building machine in action
Watch more with these video collections:
Two feats of engineering: the bridge that the machine is building and the machine itself. This is the 580 ton, 91.8 meter (301 foot) long, 7.4 meter (24 foot) wide SLJ900/32 Bridge Girder Erection Machine by the Beijing Wowjoint Machinery Company. From Digital Trends:
This bridge-building process may appear complicated, but it is in fact brilliantly simple. It begins when the machine picks up a new beam from the casting yard. The machine drives to the site of the bridge, where the pillars have already been erected. It lowers a pneumatic support structure, which stabilizes the machine as it extends out to the first pillar some distance away. A second support structure is lowered onto the pillar, at which point the first one is slid along the machine's length to the join the second at the pillar. With both support structures in place, the machine has a solid foundation for laying down the new beam.
The machine now drives further forward, carrying the beam with it. The beam is lowered into place between the bridge's starting point and the first column. With the beam secured, the machine drives backwards, taking the two portable support structures with it. When it returns with another beam, it drives along the first installed segment, and the process is repeated to place the next beam between the first and second columns.

Either imbibition at low temperatures or fast water uptake reduced germination of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) by 15%. The combination of imbibition at low temperatures and fast water uptake reduced germination by 65%. The most chilling-sensitive period for chickpea germination is the first 30 minutes of imbibition. Slow imbibition at 20°C for 24 hours prior to seeding of mechanically damaged chickpea seeds significantly improved percentage of germination, and uniform, vigorous seedlings resulted. Such prehydrated seeds also showed better emergence under field conditions, especially in early spring when the soil was still cold. The results suggest that mechanically damaged seeds sown in cold, wet soil undergo imbibitional chilling injury and fast water uptake, leading to poor field emergence. Prehydration of seeds by slow imbibition at warm temperature and/or fungicide application increased the germination and emergence of chickpeas sown into cold, wet soils.
High-value vegetable crops such as eggplant, tomato, and watermelon are grafted to increase vigor, yield, tolerance to salinity and temperature extremes, and disease resistance ( Lee, 1994 , 2003, 2007; Paroussi et al., 2007 ; Rivard and Louws

The effects of storage temperature and shoot preparation of elephant ears (Colocasia antiquorum 'Illustris') were examined to determine how to successfully store plants prior to greenhouse forcing. A series of experiments were conducted that provided storage temperatures of 4, 7, 10, 13, or 16 °C (39.2, 44.6, 50.0, 55.4, or 60.8 °F), and plants were placed into storage with the shoots uncut or cut to 3.0 cm (1.18 inches) above the surface of the growing medium. The storage duration ranged from 40 to 49 days. All plants stored at 4 or 7 °C died. Plant survival was 89% to 100% at 10 °C, while plant survival was 100% at 13 or 16 °C. Shoot emergence and plant growth was faster following storage at 13 and 16 °C, than storage at 10 °C. Storage at 16 °C resulted in leaf growth occurring during storage, which was undesirable. Removing shoots prior to storage had no effect on plant survival and performance during forcing. A fungicide drench with iprodione immediately prior to storage did not improve plant survival. This study suggests that 13 °C is near the base temperature for leaf development of elephant ears, thus the plants survive at this temperature with no growth occurring. Shoot removal prior to storage is recommended in order to optimize storage room space.

'Katahdin' potato plants were grown under conditions that did not induce tuberization (noninducing conditions) and the foliage was sprayed with either a growth retardant (BAS-111) at 1000 mg·L-1 or distilled water. Other plants, grown under tuber-inducing conditions, received a foliar spray of gibberellic acid (GA3) at 100 mg·L-1 or distilled water. After 1 week, treatments were repeated. Two-node stem segments were excised from the apical, subapical, medial, and basal sections of each plant 72 hours after the second foliar treatment, disinfested, and inserted into flasks containing 50 mL of Murashige and Skoog medium (2% sucrose). After 3 weeks in a darkened incubator adjusted to 24 °C, tuberization response was evaluated. Orthogonal contrasts revealed significant differences between induced and noninduced controls for tuber number, diameter, and fresh mass. BAS-111 reduced rhizome length and increased tuber number, diameter, and fresh mass. GA3 increased rhizome length, but reduced tuber number, diameter, and fresh mass. Node location influenced tuber development, as basal explants produced significantly more and larger tubers, as well as longer rhizomes, than did apical explants, and subapical segments produced more and larger tubers than did apical segments. There were no significant differences between medial and basal nodal segments with respect to tuber number or tuber/rhizome size. Chemical names used: 1-phenoxy-5,5-dimethyl-3-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-hexan-5-ol (BAS-111); 2,4a,7-trihydroxy-1-methyl-8-methylenegibb-3-ene-1,10-carboxylic acid 1->4 lactone (GA3).

The trouble with arsenic
High arsenic levels in a number of Whidbey Island wells could have some water customers paying higher bills in the future if they want the contaminant removed.
But the test of a simple device on one South Whidbey well this week might give hope to people on small water systems who don't have thousands of dollars to solve an arsenic problem.
Since early this year, when the federal government lowered the arsenic standard for drinking water from 50 parts per billion to 10, the state's Department of Heath has been paying close attention to which and how many wells are over the limit.
According to a map published online by the health department (_URL_ about 120 of the state's 4,200 wells in unincorporated areas have arsenic levels that exceed the new federal standard. Ingestion of high levels of arsenic have been linked to damage to kidneys, blood vessels, nerves and skin, and is thought to be a carcinogen.
In deeper trouble than any area of the state is Whidbey Island, which shows the highest density of arsenic violations amongst the area's approximately 1,000 wells.
"It looks like a shotgun blast pointed right at Whidbey Island," said South Whidbey water system manager Andy Campbell.
One of the wells Campbell maintains, the Cascade Water System, tested will over the federal limit for arsenic this spring at 32 parts per billion.
That well, which supplies 16 View Road area homes near Langley with water, brought a University of Washington graduate student and a water scientist to the island Wednesday to find out if they could solve the problem economically. Using a small electrical device, student Jaeshin Kim and Sid Hendrickson, the manager of the water services lab for the Bellevue engineering company HDR, spent the afternoon oxidizing a chemical in the water called arsenite -- a form of arsenic.
Though the two men have yet to complete tests on the water samples they took this week, Kim and Hendrickson said that if the device proves to be effective, taking arsenic out of water could be as easy as buying a good water softener. And it could be as inexpensive as a few hundred or thousand dollars for the hardware and a monthly electricity cost of running a few lightbulbs round the clock.
"This system is simple and easy to operate," Hendrickson. "It would also be simple to manufacture."
Kim cautioned that his device does not remove arsenite from the water. It converts it into arsenate, a form of arsenic that is easily filtered from water.
Wednesday's tests will tell Kim and Hendrickson under what conditions the oxidation device works best. Once they have that information, they plan to return to the Cascade View well head and hook the device up for a week-long test. If that test proves effective, Hendrickson said his company may begin manufacturing the device. He said if the market is there for such a product, it may take only a few months to get it to market.
Starting this July, water systems that tested in violation of the new arsenic standard had to begin warning of that in publications sent out to water customers. The state Department of Health is requiring all water systems to test for the chemical by Sept. 30.
Campbell said he expects the federal government to require water systems with arsenic violations to do more than just warn customers. He said water systems will probably choose to filter their water when possible, or will drill new wells if necessary. Filtration for water systems without treatment plants can run in the tens of thousands of dollars, he said.


text: We examine a rare and interesting observation of magnetic reconnection embedded in a large-scale region of strong turbulence in which magnetic field annihilation is energizing ions and electrons. The magnetic reconnection event is in Earth's magnetotail and is associated with enhanced energetic particle fluxes indicating local particle acceleration. Despite substantial electric and magnetic field fluctuations throughout the surrounding, large-scale region, the ongoing magnetic reconnection has many similar properties to laminar, 2D magnetic reconnection including Hall electric fields, Hall magnetic fields, a thin electron current sheet, and ion and electron jets. Notably, the electron jet emerging from the electron diffusion region (EDR) appears to transport sufficient off-diagonal momentum to infer that off-diagonal electron stress can support the reconnection electric field in the EDR even in a turbulent environment. Although the electron jet appears to be briefly (∼1 s) deflected or possibly interrupted by an electromagnetic disturbance, the reconnection appears to otherwise continue for a long period (∼30 minutes) as evidenced by a persistent ion jet. This particular finding implies that the fundamental electron-scale processes inside of the EDR in turbulent magnetic reconnection are not necessarily distinct from those in laminar magnetic reconnection. These observations provide direct confirmation that magnetic reconnection can not only be responsible for but also can continue in regions of large-scale turbulence. Because the electric and magnetic fields of strong turbulence are linked to particle acceleration, it follows that particle acceleration also can continue as a consequence of turbulent magnetic reconnection.

1. I have simplified the dilution method by using a stock glycerine emulsion of the virulent cord, from which the desired dilutions can be readily prepared. The proportion of glycerine should not exceed ⅕ part, if it is desired to retain the full virulence of the emulsion.
2. There is some danger of giving rabies to animals in the dilution immunization treatment, a danger which is not present in the Pasteur method.
3. The dried-cord method does not rest solely upon the principle of dilution, but is based also upon attenuation of the virus.
4. The Pasteur method being entirely free from the element of danger which pertains to the glycerine dilution method and resting upon a sounder experimental basis is the one to be preferred.

Two of the most enigmatic pieces of Irish sculpture can be found in a small cemetery on Boa Island in Co Fermanagh. The larger sculpture is a two-sided 'Janus' figure, with depictions of a bearded figure on both sides. Both of the depictions show an oval-faced man with large almond-shaped bulging eyes, and a straight nose. In Celtic culture, heads were very important because they were thought to contain a person's spirit after their death. Severed heads were taken in triumph after battles.
One side has the tongue partially sticking out, the other seems just to be an open mouth. The head just merges into the body without a clear neck, and the arms are crossed over what appears to be a belt. The base of the larger sculpture was found at a later time, and is now propped up against the figure. At the top of the heads there is a groove where people today leave coins as an offering. The smaller figure is called the 'Lustymore Man', and was found on the neighbouring Lustymore Island. It appears to be more weathered and more plainly carved. This figure is only one-sided, but has a lot of similarities with the larger figure. It seems to also depict a man with a straight nose and open mouth and its arms are crossed.
The reasons for creating these stone sculptures and the dates of their creation are not certain. They may have been part of pre-Christian religious sites, or they may have been made by early Christians who included older pagan beliefs in their grave sites. Boa Island's bilateral figure has been compared to another two-faced figure from Holzgerlingen, Germany and the Tandragee Idol, which is in a collection in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Armagh.


Leveraging email header information in Flow Designer
How can I leverage certain fields from the email headers in a flow?
All versions of xMatters
If you look at what is logged in the Activity panel when you initiate a flow using the email trigger, you find there is a lot of items from the email header:
email.to[0] The addresses the email was sent to (for example, _EMAIL_).
email.senderIp The IP address the email was sent from (for example,
email.sender The xMatters user configured to authenticate the email trigger (for example, mmcbride).
email.subject The contents of the subject field (for example, Issue detected in web login service).
email.htmlBody The body of the email in HTML markup.
email.plaintextBody The body of the email in plain text.
email.headers.ARC-Authentication-Results Email authentication results such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC validation.
email.headers.ARC-Message-Signature A DKIM-like signature of the entire message except for the ARC-Seal headers.
email.headers.ARC-Seal A DKIM-like signature that includes the ARC Signature and the ARC Authentication Results header information.
email.headers.Accept-Language The preferred languages set in the email client (for example, en-CA, fr-CA, en-US).
email.headers.Content-Language The language the content is in (for example, en-US).
email.headers.Content-Type The media type of the message content (for example, multipart/alternative).
email.headers.DKIM-Signature DKIM signature containing information about the sender, the message, and the public key location required for verification.
email.headers.Date Date and time the message was written (for example, Tue, 16 Jun 2020 18:02:58 +0000).
email.headers.From The email address the message is from (for example, First Last ).
email.headers.MIME-Version The MIME version of the email (for example, 1.0).
email.headers.Message-ID A unique identified assigned to the message by the email client (for example, _EMAIL_).
email.headers.Received A list of servers the email traveled through.
email.headers.Subject The email subject (for example, Issue detected in web login service).
email.headers.Thread-Index A values used by some email clients to support threading (for example, AQHWRAhe9PTa3R106EKT1QS6lt9jOw==).
email.headers.Thread-Topic A values used by some email clients to support threading (for example, Issue detected in web login service).
email.headers.To The address the email is sent to (for example, "_EMAIL_" ).
email.headers.X- Header parameters added by email clients for their systems and processes, such as spam detection.
email.headers.authentication-results What the email client authenticated when the message was sent.
email.recipients The xMatters target names of any recipients (for example, mmcbride)
So, how do you access these items?
You need to create a custom step, and add a small amount of code. Here are the quick steps:
 1. First, define an input to bring in the email headers. In this example, we'll call the input 'email_headers'.
 2. Next, create an output. Let's say we want to have an output with the 'from' information.
 3. Use the script to map the information into outputs.
When mapping the header information to the output, use the input name plus the header parameter. For example, to map the email.headers.From parameter to an email_from output:
output['email_from'] = input['email_headers']['From'];
This pulls the information in the From parameter contained in the email_headers input. When you use the step in a flow, you'd populate the email_headers input with the email.headers output from the Email trigger.
You can also create a variable and use it when mapping parameters. For example:
var headers = input['email_headers']; output['email_from'] = input['email_headers']['From'];
You can use bracket or dot notation for single-word parameters:
['email_headers']['From'] can be entered as ['email_headers'].From
For full instructions on creating a custom step and defining inputs and outputs, see the online help.

text: Ground simulation of spacecraft motion simulating all six degrees of freedom is a challenging problem due to several features of the natural dynamics in space that are difficult to reproduce on ground. Unlike terrestrial (aerial, land or underwater) vehicles, space vehicles have an overwhelmingly large percentage of their total energy in their translational motion. Dynamical coupling between the translational and rotational degrees of freedom can significantly affect the attitude motion of spacecraft. The attitude motion is particularly important for a spacecraft tasked to autonomously rendezvous and capture or dock with a target object in space. Here we present a ground simulator design for 6 DOF simulation of spacecraft engaged in autonomous rendezvous and proximity operation(ARPO) with an unaided target space object. These operations are very risky and difficult to carry out in space, since the target's motion is not well known in advance. Ground simulation using 6 DOF motion simulation capabilities can help reduce the risk of actual on-orbit ARPO missions. The novel design "Autonomous Rendezvous and Proximity Operation ground Simulator (ARPOS)" presented here mimics all the six DOFs of rigid spacecraft with high fidelity. ARPOS has the advantage of linear and spherical air bearings to reproduce the near frictionless environment of an actual spacecraft in space.

Trees Come 'From Out Of The Air' Says Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman. Really?
Originally published on Tue September 25, 2012 4:05 pm
Ask one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century a simple question, and his answer makes me go, "What? What did he just say?"
The question was: Where do trees come from?
Meaning, when you see a tree, a big, tall, heavy one, and you wonder where did it get its mass, its thick trunk, its branches — the instinctive answer would be from the soil below, plus a little water (and, in some mysterious way, sunshine), right?
Nope, says the late Nobel laureate Richard Feynman, sitting in an easy chair, thinking out loud in a You Tube video clip from 1983: "People look at a tree and think it comes out of the ground, that plants grow out of the ground, " he says, but "if you ask, where does the substance [of the tree] come from? You find out... trees come out of the air!"
From the air? Trees are hard, branchy, heavy, covered with bark. They don't precipitate out of air. This sounds like sorcery, not science.
But then Feynman says it again, "They surely... come out of the air."
If you are wondering how tons of wood, leaf, bark and all the innards of, say, a massive redwood tree can get pulled out of air, you'll want to hear Feynman's explanation, which is mostly him happily arguing with himself. ("How is it the tree is so smart... and do that so easily? Ah! Life! Life has some mysterious force? No!...")
But before you go to Feynman, it's best to start here, with this primer from Derek Miller of Australia's science video site, Veritasium. "Would it surprise you," Derek asks three young guys in a park — one of them wearing a T-shirt that says "living the dreem," "to discover that 95 percent of a tree is actually from carbon dioxide, that trees are largely made up of air?" The guys smile politely and say, "Ummmm... OK... "
I think, watching this video, you'll be more surprised than they were.
So that's the lesson: that a tree gets its mass from air and water. It "eats" air, chomps down on airborne carbon dioxide, then uses sunshine to pull the carbon dioxide apart, gets rid of the oxygen, which "it spits back into the air," says Feynman, "leaving the carbon and water, the stuff to make the substance of the tree."
But wait a second! Water is in the ground, right? Water is not in the air. Ah, says Feynman, but how did water get into the ground? "It came mostly out of the air, didn't it?" Waving his hands, he says rain "came out of the sky."
What a beautiful notion, that from the dancing air comes the towering monarchs that are our trees. But don't take my word for it, or Derek's. You're now ready to hear it from the Big Guy. When this begins, he's talking about fire. He gets to trees about two minutes in.

If we can't see your code we can't tell you what you're doing wrong.
No, we're not going to write your code for you. What would be the point of doing your work for you?
Graeme_Grant 5-Sep-17 22:55pm
So column "a" gets stored in array "a" and column "b" is stored in array "b" but each array can only hold a maximum of 10 rows? Your example suggests that there are more than 10 rows?
SN25 7-Sep-17 20:27pm
yes in my text file its has more than 10 rows..
Karthik_Mahalingam 6-Sep-17 0:49am
Use Improve question to add more info to the question.
CPallini 6-Sep-17 3:11am
Could please detail what are you unable to do? What is the main obstacle?
1 solution
This looks like homework, so I'll give you no code!
But it's very simple:
read the lines - you can do this in several ways, but the easiest is probably to use File.ReadAllLines which returns an array with each line of text in a separate array.
Then process each line. Since you are only interested in the last ten items, use the Length property of the array to find where the last ten starts.
For each line, use string.Split to break it into the two numbers, and use int.TryParse to convert each of the parts into a numeric value.
Store these in your two arrays.
Easy enough, if you take it stage by stage - it's probably less than ten lines of code in total!

it's not a home work I am working on a project and my question is one of the block of my code. I have to do tracking of object and for tracking of each object I am using the check box, when the check box is hit the tracking started and displays 10 track values.
Anyways I will try your approach, and If I have any problem I will share my code then.
Roberta Mafessoni 7-Sep-17 22:24pm
Still looks like homework though.
Anyway the solution you got from OriginalGriff is very detailed and should be more than enough, but why aren't you using classes, lists, dictionaries and some more oop era techniques if you are doing such an advanced project. Just wondering. Good luck.

Actually, I am a freshman to C# programming just going through all the stuff gradually,
never done C programming before
anyways thanks for the suggestion I will go through lists and classes as well
OriginalGriff 8-Sep-17 2:34am
So, it's homework then ... if you are trying to learn by just "going through stuff" then stop right now, and get yourself a book or better a course. You need the material presented in a structured way which covers all the material and builds on previous knowledge. just "going through stuff" means you have no idea what you are missing out on, or why it's a good idea because you may never meet it or realise what it is when you do see it.
Roberta Mafessoni 8-Sep-17 14:21pm
That is the best suggestion you will get.
Nice words OriginalGriff.
Thanks from me.

text: KLab Architecture created a dynamic, 'living' facade for a building in Glyfada (Athens), made of wooden pallets that open and close independently, according to climate conditions. The architects aimed at creating a modern identity for the building, using ingredients familiar and natural, such as wood and cement. As the building is located in one of Glyfada's main streets, they also sought to propose something new and innovative, that would nevertheless be familiar to passers by. The pallets create a low-maintenance energy shell that can be changed according to the time of day and season. They open and close using metal frames and electrical lifting cylinders. In both the closed and the open position, they allow natural light and ventilation inside the building, while functioning as vertical blinds which protect it from increased solar gains in the afternoons. By placing them in the southwest, west and northwest parts of the building facades, they act as passive solar cooling systems, thus helping achieve indoor thermal comfort and air quality throughout the whole year, significantly reducing the amount of energy consumed.

The Reversing Falls Bridge traverses the Saint John River in New Brunswick and is one of only two bridges connecting the east and west sides of the City of Saint John. The Saint John Water Utility operates a 484 mm diameter welded steel water main suspended beneath the bridge which provides potable water from the east side to some consumers on the west. Due to recent issues with the pipeline and the need to rely on this critical pipe for many more years into the future, it was originally planned to replace this pipe. After extensive research, it was decided to rehabilitate the existing water transmission main by means of a fully structural cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner.

using Excel's LINEST function
The period (T) of a simple pendulum can be calculated using
T=2 pi sqrt{l/g}
where l is the pendulum length and g is the gravitational field strength.
Using a single value of length and period, we can determine the acceleration due to gravity. However, it would be better experimental practise to vary the length of the pendulum and plot a graph of T^2 against length, determining g from the gradient of the line of best fit.

We're going to spend the next three periods analysing your simple pendulum data in the library. The attached pdf will walk you through the steps. It would be better if you used your own results but I've put some sample data on the first page if you've forgotten to bring yours.

HANOVER, N.H. – Dartmouth researchers have developed an algorithm that might someday be used to analyze blood for diagnostic purposes. Using data from a mass spectrometer, a device that generates a molecular fingerprint of biological samples, the Dartmouth team's calculations can distinguish healthy blood from diseased blood.
This study by Ryan Lilien, a Dartmouth M.D./Ph.D. student, Hany Farid, Assistant Professor of Computer Science, and Bruce Donald, the Foley Professor of Computer Science, appeared in the Journal of Computational Biology in December 2003.
"Our algorithm, named Q5, works on the assumption that the molecular composition of the blood changes between healthy and disease states," says Donald, the senior researcher on the project. "The goal of our work is to develop minimally invasive diagnostic methods with high predictive accuracy, and this is a promising first step."
Mathematical computations are routinely developed, varied and refined to analyze mass spectrometry data. Q5 uses mathematical techniques called Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to differentiate between the mass spectra of healthy and diseased blood samples. Q5 learns with each sample it tests, resulting in better accuracy. The algorithm compares the molecular fingerprint of each sample to identify features that differ between the healthy and disease states.
"Our algorithm detected ovarian cancer with virtually 100% accuracy and prostate cancer with approximately 95% accuracy," explains Lilien, the lead author on the paper. "Q5 analyzes the mass spec data and offers control over the threshold between healthy and disease classification. Although we only tested against ovarian and prostate cancer, we think it's possible that Q5 may be used to test for other cancers and diseases."
The researchers explain that there is much still to be learned from the different types of information within a sample of blood, and Q5 is one means of extracting new and important data.
"Most exciting to us, unlike previous mass spec disease diagnosis methods, Q5 provides clues about the molecular identities of abnormal proteins and peptides, which often cause disease. These altered proteins can serve as biomarkers, helping doctors make diagnosis and also helping researchers design better targeted drugs," says Donald.

Kirby is a pink puffball from Dreamland and is the hero of the Kirby franchise created by Masahiro Sakurai. Since his debut in Kirby's Dream Land in 1992, Kirby has starred in 17 other games. Kirby has also been featured in the Super Smash Bros. franchise (also created by Masahiro Sakurai) as a playable character. Kirby has been in various other media as well, such as manga. A television show featuring Kirby called Kirby: Right Back At Ya! aired for 100 episodes.
Concept and Creation
Kirby had originally retained his image by the name of Popopo and was to appear in the original concept game titled'Twinkle Popopo'. He was set into programing as an incomplete placeholder for the main character, featured only as a blob sprite in the early development, of what would know be known as the first entry of Kirby in the series of games to come. However, in the final release for the public in 1992, he become well accepted in Japanese title release "Hosi no Kābī" (translated as "Kirby of the Stars"). When given the choice of character design, game creator Masahiro Sakurai preferred Kirby's placeholder mold over the originally intended concept design.
Kirby has the ability to inhale objects or enemies. If an enemy with a unique power is inhaled, Kirby can swallow the enemy and steal its power. Inhaled enemies and objects can also be spit back out to deal damage. Mini-bosses can be inhaled after they are defeated. Kirby can also fly by filling himself with air and flapping his stubby arms.
In Kirby Super Star, Kirby can substitute his current power for an ally version of the swallowed enemy who would be controlled by the computer or the second player. In Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Kirby could turn his power into a crystal. The crystal could be thrown at enemies to make a combination crystal which Kirby could inhale to get a combination power. In Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby would encounter powers contained in bubbles. These powers could be stored in Kirby's stomach (the DS's touch screen). The player could use the touch screen to drag one power to another to combine powers.
List of Kirby's Inhale Abilities
Kirby is capable of inhaling a number of enemies at a time and may inherit a varied ability from the previous inhaled foe. Exhaling the foe simply redirects their shape as a star.
- Animal - Kirby wears an animal fur. Kirby attacks with a slash attack. Kirby can dig through dirt.
- Beam - Kirby wears a jester hat. Kirby attacks by whipping out an electric chain.
- Bomb - Kirby wears a blue Santa hat. Kirby can throw bombs or set bombs down on the ground.
- Bubble - Kirby has a crown of bubbles. Kirby attacks with a bubble wand that shoots bubbles. The bubbles turn enemies into abilities inside bubbles.
- Fireball - Kirby has a crown of flames and flames on his arms. Kirby turns into a fast moving ball of flame. Can break metal blocks.
- Cook - Kirby wears a chef's hat. Kirby takes out a pot, and all enemies on screen jump in and are turned into food. Can only be used once.
- Copy - Kirby wears a high-tech visor. He sends out a short-range scanning beam that will automatically copy the ability of any enemy it touches for Kirby to use. (If the enemy has no ability to copy, the beam simply destroys them.)
- Crash - Kirby flashes white. He turns himself into a smart bomb that destroys every enemy on the screen. One time use.
- Cupid - Kirby has a halo and angel wings. Kirby shoots and arrow that can be charged up. Kirby can hover.
- Cutter - Kirby wears a helmet with horns. Kirby attacks using boomerangs. Only 2 boomerangs can be thrown at a time. Can cut strings.
- Fighter - Kirby wears a red headband. Kirby attacks using various fighting moves, including jabs, uppercuts, and a charged projectile.
- Fire - Kirby wears a crown of fire. Kirby attacks by breathing fire. The fire can melt ice or metal.
- Ghost - Kirby wears a sheet with eye holes. Kirby attacks by rushing into enemies and possessing them. The player can then control the enemy or release it.
- Hammer - Kirby holds a hammer. Kirby attacks by swinging the hammer. He can also throw the hammer for a powerful ranged attack, but he gives up the ability by doing so. Can break metal blocks. Can be used underwater. Can hit pegs.
- Hi-Jump - Kirby wears a cape. Kirby attacks by jumping high and landing with a shockwave.
- IceKirby wears a crown of ice crystals. Kirby attacks by breathing ice, turning enemies into ice cubes which can be kicked. The ice can freeze water or lava.
- Laser - Kirby wears an eye gadget. Kirby attacks with a laser that bounces off walls.
- Magic - Kirby wears a magician's top hat. Kirby attacks by making doves appear, shooting playing cards and making a jack-in-a-box appear. The cards can cut strings.
- Master Hand - Can only be obtained by beating and inhaling Master Hand. Kirby can use the hammer, stone, a cutter attack, and a punching attack.
- Metal - Kirby becomes covered in metal. Kirby cannot be damaged by regular enemies, but moves slower. Kirby can turn into a ball, allowing him to roll down slopes.
- Mini - Kirby becomes tiny. That's it.
- Mirror - Kirby wears a red and blue jester's cap. He can attack by sending out a short-range stream of mirror shards with his wand, or by making a quick mirror image of himself. Both techniques reflect enemy projectiles. Can cut strings.
- MissileKirby has a target on the top of his head. Kirby attacks by turning into a rocket that the player can guide. Can break metal blocks.
- Mike - Kirby goes through three different appearances: wearing headphones and yelling into a radio microphone, wearing a white cap and yelling into a megaphone, and wearing a mohawk and yelling into a rock concert mic. Each instance has the same effect: Kirby yells so loudly that all enemies on the screen explode. After the third use, this ability disappears.
- Needle - Kirby wears a spike cap. Kirby attacks by encasing himself with spikes.
- Ninja - Kirby wears a helmet with Japanese style hair. Kirby can throw shuriken or create an explosion. Kirby can also walk on water and cling to walls. The explosion changes to water type if Kirby is on water.
- Paint - Kirby wears a gray cap backwards. He grabs a paint bucket and paintbrush and fills the whole screen with colors, damaging every enemy on the screen. Also used in the boss fight with Chameleo Arm in Kirby Super Star to counteract his camouflage. One time use.
- Parasol - Kirby holds a parasol. Kirby attacks by whacking people with the parasol. He can also use the parasol to slow his descent in mid-air and to shield himself from the front.
- Plasma - Kirby wears a crown of green electricity. Kirby creates a circle of electric energy around him. Can send electricity on certain surfaces. He builds up power by quickly moving back and forth (a technique intended to replicate the act of building up static electricity by rubbing your feet against a carpet).
- SleepKirby wears a sleeping cap. Kirby cannot attack for a few seconds while he sleeps. Sometimes sleeping will heal Kirby.
- Stone - Kirby wears a helmet that looks like the ninja cap. Kirby can turn into a stone. Can hit pegs.
- Suplex - Kirby wears a blue headband, and his skin tone turns slightly darker. He can dash forward to grab objects or enemies, then toss or slam them in various ways like German suplexes and piledrivers. It works very similarly to the Throw ability from Kirby's Adventure, but Suplex is the name given to this ability in Kirby Super Star.
- Sword - Kirby holds a sword. Kirby attacks using sword slashes. Can cut strings. Can be used underwater.
- Throw - Kirby wears a blue headband. Kirby can suck enemies toward him, then throw them. Can break metal blocks.
- Tornado - Kirby has a crown of swirling air. Kirby can turn into a tornado which the player can guide.
- UFOKirby is in a UFO. Kirby attacks using a charge laser, or the Beam power. Kirby can hover. Can be used underwater.
- Wheel - Kirby wears a red cap. Kirby attacks by turning into a wheel and rolling across the ground. In Kirby Squeak Squad, if the wheel rolls onto ice or electricity, the element will change.
- Wing - Kirby wears Native American feathers on his head as well as some red facepaint. He sends out small feathers as a weak projectile attack, but he can also perform powerful aerial diving attacks. This ability also fundamentally changes the way Kirby's flight mechanics work: he gains more horizontal velocity and doesn't need to inhale before taking flight.
- Yo-Yo - Kirby wears a blue cap backwards. He attacks by swinging a yo-yo and by breakdancing.
Rick is a character that befriends Kirby along the way in the adventures sum to Kirby's Dream Land 2, alongside other fellow companions Coo and Kine. It is taken that from all of Kirby's Animal Friends, Rick has substantial relations of quality with Kirby as being adorable creatures, thus landing him in favor with audiences of the Kirby series. The intrinsic journey allows for the use of Rick as the featured land friend that helps along the best suited for this particular terrain, as to Coo and Kine are suited for air and water, respectfully.
Coo is an owl best noted for his purple down and


ds_queue_dequeue
Dequeues the value from the head of the queue.
Syntax:
ds_queue_dequeue(id);
Argument Description
id The id of the queue to dequeue from.
Returns: Real, String, undefined
Description
This function will dequeue the head value off of the ds_queue, removing it from the queue and returning the value to be stored in a variable. If the queue is empty then the function will return the constant undefined, otherwise it will return the real or string value contained in the queue.
Example:
if !ds_queue_empty(move_queue)
 {
 var xx, yy;
 xx = ds_queue_dequeue(move_queue);
 yy = ds_queue_dequeue(move_queue);
 move_towards_point(xx, yy, 4);
 }
The above code checks the ds_queue indexed in the variable "move_queue" to see if it is empty, and if it is not, it then dequeues the two values from the head of the queue and use them to set a direction for movement.
Back: Queues
Next: ds_queue_head

Comprehensive National Power
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Comprehensive National Power (CNP) (Chinese: 综合国力; pinyin: zōnghé guólì) is a putative measure, important in the contemporary political thought of the People's Republic of China, of the general power of a nation-state. CNP can be calculated numerically by combining various quantitative indices to create a single number held to measure the power of a nation-state.[citation needed] These indices take into account both military factors (known as hard power) and economic and cultural factors (known as soft power).
A fairly simplistic and effective index was developed by Chin-Lung Chang. It uses critical mass, economic capacity and military capacity. Due to its indicators, it is often repeatable and easy to define, making it comparable to the Human Development Index in understanding and reliability.[1]
The book "Comprehensive National Power- A Model for India", a project of United Service Institution of India explains how CNP is calculated and also shows various methods of calculation with various tables, charts, diagrams.[2]
National Strategic Resources[edit]
Michael Porter lists five major resources, that is, physical, human, infrastructure, knowledge and capital resources. Accordingly, the national strategic resources are divided into eight categories, with 23 indictors.[3] Those categories constitute CNP:[4]
 - Economic resources
 - Natural resources
 - Capital resources
 - Knowledge and Technology resources
 - Government resources
 - Military resources
 - International resources
 - Cultural resources

Most school days I write a short note and pop it in the girls' lunch bags. I know lots of other adopters who do this and I know my girls look forward to them.
Most of the time they are very straightforward like these:
But some days when I know the girls are struggling more than usual I write in our 'secret code'. By that I mean I write in Spanish. The girls aren't fluent by any means but certainly know enough to understand the notes especially as I tend to use words from familiar stories etc. This isn't to be pretentious or a pushy parent. Using Spanish means their friends and teachers won't understand what I've written; it's our private '3girlstogether' way of communicating, reinforcing our family unit and giving us something special that we share just us three. So on tough days I write a Spanish love letter like this:
But last week I came downstairs and was surprised to find these waiting for me:
My girls had decided to surprise me and had written notes for me to read at lunchtime – that is the stuff that dreams are made of!

Criminal Profiling free essay sample
The aim of this research paper is to investigate the effectiveness of criminal profiling in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Baccalaureates profiling Is done by the behavioral Science unit of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This unit is responsible to study and investigate the behavior of the criminals through different techniques and procedures. The FBI in the Minneapolis is of average size as compared to the other offices in the country. The FBI from many years is working in Minneapolis.A number of steps are conducted in order to properly conduct criminal profiling. The first step Is the profiling input which Is Important for profiling. After that the Input Is arranged and organized In a systematic and methodical manner. The third step consists of crime assessment in which the patterns of offenders and victims behavior are reconstructed. The next stage consists of criminal profile in which the above steps are observed to develop and describe the behavior of the criminal, background information, characteristics and beliefs of the criminal. We will write a custom essay sample on Criminal Profiling or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page The final process consists of investigation process and apprehension in which a review Is conducted In order to arrive at correct and appropriate conclusions and deductions (Swanson, Chameleon Terror, 2008). Criminal Profiling in Minneapolis Behavioral Science unit of FBI of Minneapolis works to find out the criminals in order to stop crimes and attacks. The Behavioral Science unit comprises of agents, criminologist, crime analysts, and psychologist and veteran police officers. They provides training, perform research and consultation.The Behavioral science Unit of Minneapolis focuses different approaches and quenches to study the behavior of offenders. The unit has been focusing on investigating and analyzing violent crime that poses serious threats to the fabric of society. It seeks to integrate and incorporate efficient and effective technologies that would assist in cracking down hard on criminal behavior (Federal Bureau Investigation). Criminal profiling helps in crimes like homicide, theft, rape, etc. It also assists in identifying any criminal activity in future. There are two profiling FBI uses, Inductive and Deductive. Both have advantages and disadvantages. The Inductive profiling does not explain the offenders behavior and short cuts are taken but In deductive the department communication and consistency is greater (Holmes Holmes, 2002). Conclusion criminal profiling is effective in Minneapolis as it plays important role in identifying the future criminal acts and provide future safety from the criminals. Analyze the crime scene and investigate. Thus, criminal profiling is very effective for Minneapolis as the profiler is able to find the dangerous criminals and helps to intro any activity by the criminals.

Nobody knows for sure exactly why the rocks ring like bells when struck with a hammer is a mystery. The rocks do contain a significant amount of iron, which might be part of the explanation. However, the high iron content doesn't explain two other strange qualities that the rocks possess... Not all of the rocks ring when struck, and they don't ring when they are removed from the site, suggesting that the ringing has something to do with the way the rocks lay against one another. Larger flat ones seem to produce an especially impressive sound when struck.
Compared to the neighbors.
The Ringing Rocks are very small part (160 acres) of a mountainous region called the Boulder Batholith, which encompasses a large portion of southwestern Montana. Batholiths originate when magma cools slowly beneath the surface to form granite.

Main Article Content
Blow molding is a method of printing hollow workpieces by blowing air into a molded material. From the results of the process, the specification of a product must be met by the manufacturer in fulfilling orders from the customer. The thickness of the bottle wall and the snap dimension is one of the most difficult specifications to be controlled on a 500 ml chemical bottle product. This will be resolved if the machine operator knows the optimal combination of parameters at the time of operation. In this experiment the method used is Design of Experiments with Taguchi Gray Relational Analysis method approach to get the combination between two responses taken to obtain optimal parameters. By doing a total of 27 experiments,the experimentd were implemented on a 500 ml chemical bottle product as per specified specification. Data were collected using a digital microscope for wall thickness and dimensions vernier to snap. The result of analysis with Taguchi Gray Relational Analysis method shows that the parameters which have significant effect on wall thickness and snap bottle dimension are blowing pressure and blowing time. While the parameter of melt temperature and stop time have less significant effect. The optimal parameter setting is blowing pressure of 9 bar, melt temperature of 260 ° C, blowing time for 7 seconds and stop time for 2 seconds.
