Top 10 Hunters In Animal World
8. Piranha
One of most dangerous fishes in the world, lives in South American rivers.
Using very strong jaws and sharp teeth they used to hunt wide range of preys, even humans, Their strong jaws can easily crush a human within 10 seconds. Their special sensory organs also help them to detect presence of blood at water. Piranhas generally hunt at nights, for small fishes and aquatic animals.
Piranhas also group together for large preys horses, deers…Etc. They also attack humans, several cases reported in Brazil.

Abstract:
ONE CENTRAL PROBLEM IN SWITCHING FUNCTION THEORY IS THE CLASSIFICATION OF ALL BINARY SWITCHING FUNCTIONS OF A GIVEN NUMBER OF INPUT VARIABLES INTO EQUIVALENCE CLASSES BY REARRANGEMENT AND NEGATION OF THE INPUT VARIABLES. Several theorems describing properties of the switching functions which result in various types of symmetries of the functions under input rearrangement and negation are presented. The analysis is based on the representation of the switching function in terms of set of vectors from a finite dimensional vector space over the field of integers modulo 2. This approach makes use of the properties of the groups of transformations on the vector space which are related to the input rearrangements and negations. One type of solid-state logic unit investigated was the field-effect transistor with 2 control gates located concentrically around the source terminal. Another approach to the problem of realizing multiple input logic functions is to employ 4-layer diodes coupled internally in a single piece of semiconductor. A number of 4-layer diodes were fabricated and tested with external coupling. Author

Spotted on our property Monte Horizonte in the Alentejo region of Portugal. Booted Eagle sound
The Booted Eagle (Aquila pennata) (formerly Hieraaetus pennatus) is a medium-sized bird of prey. It is about 47 centimeters (18 inches) in length and has a wingspan of 120 cm (almost 4 feet). Like all eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae.
Booted Eagle Birding Portugal
Booted Eagle
Pale phase Booted Eagle wintering in India, It breeds in southern Europe, North Africa and across Asia. It is migratory, wintering in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. This eagle lays 1-2 eggs in a tree or crag nest.
This is a species of wooded, often hilly countryside with some open areas. It hunts small mammals, reptiles and birds.
The Booted is a small eagle, comparable to the Common Buzzard in size though more eagle-like in shape. Males grow to about 700 grams (1.5 lbs) in weight, with females close to 1 kilogram (over 2 lb). There are two relatively distinct plumage forms. Pale birds are mainly light grey with a darker head and flight feathers. The other form has mid-brown plumage with dark grey flight feathers.
The call is a shrill kli-kli-kli.
Recent genetic research resulted in the reclassification of this species to the genus Aquila from Hieraaetus. As it is the type species of Hieraaetus, should any of the hawk-eagles be retained in a distinct genus a new name for that group would be necessary.
Along with the Little Eagle this bird is one of the closest living relatives of the extinct Haast's Eagle of New Zealand.

FAIRVIEW, TX (HOWARD COUNTY)
FAIRVIEW, TEXAS (Howard County). Fairview, on U.S. Highway 87 five miles northwest of Big Spring in central Howard County, was named for the view afforded by the flat land around it. In 1930 it had a population of fifteen and two commercially rated businesses. By 1940 its population had grown to fifty, and a school was located there. Between 1950 and 1960 the population was 100, but the last business had closed. In 1980, 1990, and 2000 the population was eighty-five.

Exploring the options of removing HTML tags from the text in ASP.
<!-- Add the rest of your HTML here -->
Why remove HTML tags?
There could be a number of reasons why you as a developer want to remove HTML tags from the text. The most common situation is when you are going to display some text on the web page and the text was submitted by an unknown user or it came from some other source that you have no control over. You don't have any idea what the content of the text is: it could contain some damaging script or some HTML formatting that will completely mess up the look of your site. It could be that you just don't want any HTML tags in the text because of some application restrictions. You might want to limit the use of HTML to some simple text formatting tags, but restrict the users from using links and inserting images. Whether you have a good reason for that or you just want HTML out of your text because you are a member of "HTML Hatred Club" - you have to find the way to get those tags out of the text. This article will look into the options you have when it comes to removing HTML tags from the text in ASP.
First Option - Disable HTML
First and probably the easiest solution is to just disable HTML tags in the text without removing them. You can do it with Replace() function. For example, if you want to disable all the SCRIPT tags you could do this:
strText = Replace(strText, "<script", "<script", 1, -1, 1)
or to make sure that all HTML tags are disabled:
strText = Replace(strText, "<", "<")
No opening brackets - no valid HTML tags - no problem. Right?
It is a good (quick) security measure to prevent people from embedding damaging client-side scripts within the text they submit, but it is hardly a user-friendly feature.
The problem with this approach is that all the HTML tags are now shown as well as the rest of the text and it is very hard to read. It's kind of like displaying the HTML source to the user - not a very nice thing to do.
Second Option - Use the brackets
How to make HTML tags disappear from the text? Well, we can just remove them. We can just take everything between opening bracket "<" and closing bracket ">" of HTML tags and remove it. It sounds easy ...
Well, it is easier said than done, especially in VBScript. Smile | :)
People who code in Perl or Java Scripts can actually tell you that it is a piece of cake. They are absolutely right. For example, JavaScript function that removes everything between the brackets could look like this:
function RemoveHTML( strText )
{
 var regEx = /<[^>]*>/g;
 return strText.replace(regEx, "");
}
For those of you who doesn't know what all of these "/<[^>]*>/g" mean - it's called Regular Expression. "Regular expressions are patterns used to match character combinations in strings." You can learn more about them by following this link: _URL_
Back in VBScript world, for those of us who runs Scripting Engine 5.0 or later (you can check you version by calling ScriptEngineMajorVersion and ScriptEngineMinorVersion functions) we can use RegExp object as well. RemoveHTML function could look like this:
Function RemoveHTML( strText )
 Dim RegEx
 Set RegEx = New RegExp
 RegEx.Pattern = "<[^>]*>"
 RegEx.Global = True
 RemoveHTML = RegEx.Replace(strText, "")
End Function
It doesn't look too complicated, does it? Providing that you know how to build those patterns ... Wink | ;-)
For the rest of VBScript people (who has an older Scripting Engine or doesn't want to mess with the Regular Expressions) writing of your own little parser is the way to go. Below is an example of such a function. My friend Chris Coursey and I used this function in one of our projects a couple of years ago:
Function RemoveHTML( strText )
 Dim nPos1
 Dim nPos2

 nPos1 = InStr(strText, "<")
 Do While nPos1 > 0
 nPos2 = InStr(nPos1 + 1, strText, ">")
 If nPos2 > 0 Then
 strText = Left(strText, nPos1 - 1) & Mid(strText, nPos2 + 1)
 Else
 Exit Do
 End If
 nPos1 = InStr(strText, "<")
 Loop

 RemoveHTML = strText
End Function
While all of the above solutions work and do exactly what they were meant to do (remove everything between the brackets), there are at least a couple of problems with this approach:
First of all, because these functions are only take into an account the bracket characters - any brackets within the body of the text that were never meant to be HTML tags will be removed. They will be removed together with any text that happens to be within those brackets. In other words, any attempt by a user to include "<" or ">" characters in the text might cause these functions to produce unpredictable and at the time very ugly results.
On the other hand, these functions remove all the HTML tags unconditionally. You cannot control which tags are removed and which are kept untouched. That is the problem when you want to let your users to enter some harmless HTML tags like "<b>" and "<i>", but remove the other tags.
Third Option - Use IE and other tools
The only way to overcome both of the previously discussed problems is to make your code aware of specific HTML tags that you want to be removed. I am currently unaware of any third-party ASP components that would do the job for you, but they might very well be out there. I did however attempted to write one myself based on MSHTML Library and I've seen that somebody has used Internet Explorer's Application object to produce the desired results of striping HTML tags. Both of these solutions seemed to work, but with IE solution you will most likely get a huge performance hit and both of them don't seem to be very safe things to do according to MSKB:
"It may be desirable to parse HTML files inside a Web server process in response to a browser page request. However, the WebBrowser control, DHTML Editing Control, MSHTML, and other Internet Explorer components may not function properly in an Active Server Pages (ASP) page or other application run in a Web server application." (_URL_
In other words - think twice before using any IE components on the server side.
Fourth Option - Another VBScript attempt
Having explored all of the above options I have taking a challenge of writing an ASP function in VBScript that would both be intelligent enough to remove only known HTML tags and at the same time would provide the developer with ability to control which tags to remove. Following is the result of this attempt.
A few words about the function:
 - List of the HTML tags to be removed controlled by adding or removing tags from the TAGLIST constant. For example, to leave all <B> tags in the text you must remove B from the TAGLIST. Current list contains every tag listed in index of HTML tags of MSDN Library with the addition of the LAYER tag. Please note that every tag must be surrounded by semi-colons (";") in order for this function to work properly.
 - Both the start and the end tags will be removed. For example, both <A ...> and </A> tags will be removed.
 - If tag is present in both TAGLIST and BLOCKTAGLIST constants this function will remove everything between the start and the end tag. For example, if SCRIPT tag is included in both TAGLIST and BLOCKTAGLIST everything between <SCRIPT ...> and </SCRIPT> tags will be removed.
 - Tags without a closing bracket will not be considered a valid HTML tags and therefore will not be removed. That in compliance with the HTML standard as far as I know.
 - Block tags that does not have an end tag will cause the entire portion of the text from the start tag to the end of the text to be removed. For example, if </SCRIPT> is missing - everything from <SCRIPT ...> to the end of the text will be removed.
 - If the first portion of the comment tag ("<!--") is followed by any character other than space - comment tag will not be removed.
 - I've done some performance testing on this function just to get an idea about its speed. It removed a 1000 tags from 24K text string in one second. 2300 tags were removed from 60K text string in about 4.5 seconds. Relatively short string with a few tags - very fast. Smile | :)
Usage of the function is simple:
strPlainText = RemoveHTML(strTextWithHTML)
And here is the function:
Function RemoveHTML( strText )
 Dim TAGLIST
 TAG

2.4.4 Debugging the Semantic Analyzer
If the Semantic Analyzer does not analyze your code properly, you can take steps to identify and solve the problem. This section was written with C/C++ in mind, but should be relevant for any typed language. Step 1: Check the context
To check the current context, type M-x semantic-analyze-current-context.
— Command: semantic-analyze-current-context pos
Analyze the context at pos. This function is used by most of the other Semantic Analyzer commands to obtain the context of the code at a given buffer position. The return value is an EIEIO object describing the context at pos (see Top).
When called interactively, this displays a *Semantic Context Analysis* buffer containing a summary of the context at point.
The Prefix section of the *Semantic Context Analysis* buffer lists the tags based on the text at point. If it shows only a simple string, the Semantic was unable to identify what the data type was.
The first item in the list of the prefix is the first lookup failure in the chain, and that is the item to focus debugging effort on. For example:
 Context Type: #
 Bounds: (182. 185)
 Prefix: Foo* bar
 int bbb (const char* y)
 Prefix Types: class Foo {}
 -> Local Vars: int argc
 char** argv
In this example you can see that the prefix has two fully found tags. In the following example, the symbol "bbb" is incomplete, and could not be found:
 Context Type: #
 Bounds: (182. 184)
 Prefix: Foo* bar
 Prefix Classes: 'function
 Prefix Types: class Foo {}
 -> Local Vars: int argc
 char** argv Step 2 : Check your include path
Once you know the missing symbol, check your include path. The header or include file containing the needed definition may not be in the list of headers Semantic is searching through. To get a basic list, you can use M-x semanticdb-find-test-translate-path. See Semanticdb search debugging commands.
If items should be loaded but aren't, or if you see some tables that have no tags in them, then you you may have an incorrectly-set search throttle (see Search Throttle). For example,
 *#
 *#
Here, Semantic found foo.hh, but there are 0 tags. This may be because you had set the throttle to avoid reading and parsing files that Emacs has not visited. To fix this, visit the file and let Semantic parse it.
For C++, check also that the '_TAG_' statements for your project-level files use quotes, not angle brackets; angle brackets are for system files. Step 3: Check the local scope
If your data type is somehow abbreviated based on scope, such as from a using statement, you should make sure that the symbol you want is in the local scope. Examine the scope with M-x semantic-calculate-scope. The scope structure is displayed in ADEBUG mode, so use SPC to expand different elements and looking for your symbol.
If your symbol should be in the scope, but you cannot find it, then you may have found a language support bug in the local-variable parser, or using statement parser.
Calling M-x bovinate should force a reset on the scope in case there is merely some bad state.
 ] Name: Cache
 ] Class: #'semantic-scope-cache
 ] :table #
 ] tag createMoose : class moose
 ] scopetypes 'nil
 ] parents #
 ] scope #
 ] fullscope #
 ] localvar #
In the above sample output, the tag slot specifies where within you source this scope is relevant. Parents should contain any in scope parents, such as the class a method belongs to. Localvar should contain your local variables. Scope should contain datatypes in scope due to a using statement or the like. Step 4: Check the typecache
For complex typed languages like C++, Semantic creates a typecache, or an optimized search table with all the various data types in it. Elements in the typecache do not obey local scope. It only contains fully qualified names. You can examine the typecache with M-x semanticdb-typecache-dump.
If your data types are not in the typecache, there may be some parsing error or other bug. Calling M-x bovinate should force a reset on the typecache in case there is merely some bad state.
 ]#
 ] Name: /home/zappo/cedet/semantic/tests/testsubclass.cpp
 ] Class: #'semanticdb-typecache
 ] filestream 'nil
 ] includestream #
 ] stream 'nil
 ] dependants 'nil
In the above example, the output of M-x semanticdb-typecache-dump was expanded one level. The filestream slot should contain datatypes in the current file. The includestream should contain all the datatypes in all included header files.
The dependants slot will specify other files that depend on this one. Step 5: Check the parser
Go to the location where your unfound tag should be. You can call M-x bovinate, and see a dump of the raw tag structure. To see a navigable tree, use M-x semantic-adebug-bovinate instead. You can then look to make sure your tag has been properly parsed.
If it has not, then you may have found a parser bug. To get a feel how Semantic treats your file, type M-x global-semantic-show-unmatched-syntax-mode. This causes any syntax it cannot parse to be underlined in red.
If your type is not parsable, it could be for a couple of reasons:
 1. If there is a MACRO keyword used in the definition of the type, you may need to update the semantic-lex-c-preprocessor-symbol-map to account for it.
 2. Or perhaps the parser needs to be fixed.

Don't expect to see new federal IT standards
- By Kevin Powers
- Apr 29, 1996
Top officials at the National Institute of Standards and
Technology are asking the agency's computer experts to stop devising standards and instead
become experts in conformance testing.
NIST officials said they will work more closely with industry and standards
organizations to design tests to determine whether products comply with standards. Rather
than lay down rules, agency officials said, they want to give computer users the tools to
become smarter shoppers.
"We want to establish ourselves as technology leaders and develop centers that
offer credible testing methods," said Shukri Wakid, acting director of NIST's
Computer and Applied Mathematics Laboratory (CAML). "The standard is not as
meaningful if you do not know how it works. The test is really the standard, and we want
to take a leadership role with the tests."
NIST always has been responsible for crafting civilian computer standards and helping
agencies use such tools as smart cards and firewalls. But much of that work was
accomplished by issuing best-practices guides and working with the Office of Management
and Budget to resolve common systems problems.
Wakid said his organization will continue to produce guidance documents. But any new
publications or assistance programs must have a governmentwide focus, he said.
"We still want to help with things that are cross-agency-based or generic in
nature. But a lot of systems problems are unique to a single agency, and we have to strike
a proper balance on where we focus our resources," Wakid said.
Under NIST's new strategy, CAML will create a test competency center to help agencies
and commercial firms better understand and apply Federal Information Processing Standards
and commercial and international standards. The center will devise testing methods and
tools, help certify testing labs and serve as a technical liaison between product sponsors
and the labs.
"We want to encourage agencies to use the commercial standards and give them tests
that they can use," Wakid said. "Once we establish the tests, our role would be
to assure test availability. We could have companies or consortia test their products and
accredit the labs for the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program."
But some computer experts are worried that CAML's new emphasis on tests could create a
leadership vacuum. The upshot could be that agencies lack up-to-date guidance on
information technology, some warn.
For example, members of the National Computer Systems Security and Privacy Advisory
Board expressed concern that the new testing focus might lead NIST to shirk its security
guidance duties mandated by OMB Circular A-130. if there is a vacuum, some experts said,
the National Security Agency might gain too much influence in civilian security matters.
After hearing Wakid outline CAML's strategy at their March meeting, board members
authorized chairman Willis H. Ware to discuss matters with NIST and OMB officials.
OMB officials, however, said they did not expect NIST to have any problems carrying out
its guidance obligations.
Wakid defended the new strategy as the best way to leverage CAML's dwindling budget and
Because of recent procurement reforms and the administration's push for more
off-the-shelf acquisitions, NIST must ensure that agencies know how to incorporate
security standards into commercial buys, Wakid said. Agencies needing help with specific
security problems would be better served by contractors, he said.
"I honestly don't think there is a problem. The difference now is we want to
emphasize testing methods more and more," Wakid said. "But we have to strike a
balance on where we devote our resources, and agency-specific tasks take us off our
Some former NIST employees said the strategy shift has been brewing for years.
Like the rest of the Commerce Department, CAML is facing a 1997 budget freeze, that is,
provided the agency survives Republican efforts to dismantle the entire department.
Commerce has been living off continuing resolutions this fiscal year, and President
Clinton has proposed holding CAML spending at $43 million next year.
Many observers trace NIST's funding problems to the late 1980s, when Congress failed to
ante up the $3 million NIST needed to finance its guidance duties prescribed by the 1987
Computer Security Act.
"NIST is in a tough budget spot. There are lots of jobs to do and not enough money
and people to do them," said Dennis Branstad, coordinator of cryptographic projects
for Trusted Information Systems Inc. and a former NIST computer science fellow.
"We're seeing a refocusing, and NIST is saying that its success will be in tests
supporting standards as opposed to getting bogged down in the bureaucracy of standards
development," Branstad said.
But several government and industry sources said every step NIST takes away from policy
guidance gives the military intelligence community another opportunity to sell the White
House on its classified security solutions.
"If NIST drops that line of business, they'll concede the policy battlefield to
NSA," said one security industry analyst who requested anonymity. "The
intelligence agencies are making a full-court press with their proposals on information
warfare and information assurance. They're looking for budget money too."


Relationship between bone mechanical properties and collagen denaturation

Abstract
The percentage of denatured type 1 collagen in baboon bone using a new biochemical method was studied and correlated with the biochemical and physical properties of bone. The results indicate that changes in the failure energy and fracture toughness of bone most likely stem from age-dependent changes in mineral and collagen phases of bone. Structural changes in collagen molecules are significantly correlated with the elastic modulus and failure energy or toughness of bone. Meanwhile, bone mineral content has a significant correlation with the elastic modulus, yield strength and ultimate strength of bone.

PP subject to this condition resulting in a dramatic reduction in the efficiency of the PV system. Recent artificial intelligence methods have been proposed, however they have a higher computational cost, slower processing time and increased oscillations which results in further instability at the output of the PV system. This paper proposes a fast and efficient technique based on Radial Movement Optimization (RMO for detecting the GMPP under partial shading conditions. The paper begins with a brief description of the behavior of PV systems under partial shading conditions followed by the introduction of the new RMO-based technique for GMPP tracking. Finally, results are presented to demonstration the performance of the proposed technique under different partial shading conditions. The results are compared with those of the PSO method, one of the most widely used methods in the literature. Four factors, namely convergence speed, efficiency (power loss reduction, stability (oscillation reduction and computational cost, are considered in the comparison with the PSO technique.
 8. Real-time implementation of optimized maximum noise fraction transform for feature extraction of hyperspectral images
 Science.gov (United States)
 Wu, Yuanfeng; Gao, Lianru; Zhang, Bing; Zhao, Haina; Li, Jun
 2014-01-01
 We present a parallel implementation of the optimized maximum noise fraction (G-OMNF) transform algorithm for feature extraction of hyperspectral images on commodity graphics processing units (GPUs). The proposed approach explored the algorithm data-level concurrency and optimized the computing flow. We first defined a three-dimensional grid, in which each thread calculates a sub-block data to easily facilitate the spatial and spectral neighborhood data searches in noise estimation, which is one of the most important steps involved in OMNF. Then, we optimized the processing flow and computed the noise covariance matrix before computing the image covariance matrix to reduce the original hyperspectral image data transmission. These optimization strategies can greatly improve the computing efficiency and can be applied to other feature extraction algorithms. The proposed parallel feature extraction algorithm was implemented on an Nvidia Tesla GPU using the compute unified device architecture and basic linear algebra subroutines library. Through the experiments on several real hyperspectral images, our GPU parallel implementation provides a significant speedup of the algorithm compared with the CPU implementation, especially for highly data parallelizable and arithmetically intensive algorithm parts, such as noise estimation. In order to further evaluate the effectiveness of G-OMNF, we used two different applications: spectral unmixing and classification for evaluation. Considering the sensor scanning rate and the data acquisition time, the proposed parallel implementation met the on-board real-time feature extraction.
 9. Methodology to estimate the cost of the severe accidents risk / maximum benefit
 International Nuclear Information System (INIS)
 Mendoza, G.; Flores, R. M.; Vega, E.
 2016-09-01
 For programs and activities to manage aging effects, any changes to plant operations, inspections, maintenance activities, systems and administrative control procedures during the renewal period should be characterized, designed to manage the effects of aging as required by 10 Cfr Part 54 that could impact the environment. Environmental impacts significantly different from those described in the final environmental statement for the current operating license should be described in detail. When complying with the requirements of a license renewal application, the Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives (SAMA) analysis is contained in a supplement to the environmental report of the plant that meets the requirements of 10 Cfr Part 51. In this paper, the methodology for estimating the cost of severe accidents risk is established and discussed, which is then used to identify and select the alternatives for severe accident mitigation, which are analyzed to estimate the maximum benefit that an alternative could achieve if this eliminate all risk. Using the regulatory analysis techniques of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) estimates the cost of severe accidents risk. The ultimate goal of implementing the methodology is to identify candidates for SAMA that have the potential to reduce the severe accidents risk and determine if the implementation of each candidate is cost-effective.

Twenty-nine male aikido (AI, jiujitsu (JJ, judo (JU and rowing (RO athletes and 21non-athletes (NA participated in the study. The hand strength test consisted of maintainingmaximum isometric grip strength for 10 seconds using a hand dynamometer. The position of the subjects was that suggested by the American Society of Hand Therapy. Factorial 2X5 ANOVA with Bonferroni correction, followed by a paired t test and Tukey test, was used for statistical analysis. The highest Fmax values were observed for the JJ group when using the dominant hand,followed by the JU, RO, AI and NA groups. Variation in Fmax could be attributed to handdominance (30.9%, sports modality (39.9% and the interaction between hand dominance andsport (21.3%. The present results demonstrated significant differences in Fmax between the JJ and AI groups and between the JJ and NA groups for both the dominant and non-dominant hand. Significant differences in Fmax between the dominant and non-dominant hand were only observed in the AI and NA groups. The results indicate that Fmax can be used for comparisonbetween different sports modalities, and to identify differences between the dominant and nondominanthand. Studies involving a larger number of subjects will permit the identification of differences between other modalities.

 The performance of photovoltaic systems is often reduced by the presence of partial shadows. The system efficiency and availability can be improved by a maximum power point tracking algorithm that is able to detect partial shadow conditions and to optimize the power output. This work proposes...... an intelligent maximum power point tracking method that monitors the maximum power point voltage and triggers a current-voltage sweep only when a partial shadow is detected, therefore minimizing power loss due to repeated current-voltage sweeps. The proposed system is validated on an advanced, flexible...... photovoltaic inverter system test platform that is able to reproduce realistic partial shadow conditions, both in simulation and on hardware test system....
 13. Parameters determining maximum wind velocity in a tropical cyclone
 International Nuclear Information System (INIS)
 Choudhury, A.M.
 1984-09-01
 The spiral structure of a tropical cyclone was earlier explained by a tangential velocity distribution which varies inversely as the distance from the cyclone centre outside the circle of maximum wind speed. The case has been extended in the present paper by adding a radial velocity. It has been found that a suitable combination of radial and tangential velocities can account for the spiral structure of a cyclone. This enables parametrization of the cyclone. Finally a formula has been derived relating maximum velocity in a tropical cyclone with angular momentum, radius of maximum wind speed and the spiral angle. The shapes of the spirals have been computed for various spiral angles. (author)

NAEP endeavors to include as many sampled students as possible in the assessment, including students with disabilities (SD) and English language learners (ELL), and has established specific inclusion goals: 95 percent of all sampled students and 85 percent of sampled students identified as SD or ELL. Inclusion rates were computed for each state/jurisdiction participating in the 2011 assessment and compared to NAEP inclusion goals. Specifically, Wilson confidence intervals were used in order to avoid having an upper bound greater than 1.
Three inclusion percentages were computed for each state/jurisdiction. An overall inclusion percentage represents included students as a percentage of all students sampled within the state/jurisdiction. In addition, separate percentages were computed to report included students as a percentage of the state/jurisdiction sample that was identified as SD or ELL.
Inclusion percentages are estimates based on a sample, and each estimate has a measure of uncertainty or margin of error. Confidence intervals quantify this uncertainty due to sampling, resulting in interval estimates of the inclusion percentages. Therefore, confidence intervals for inclusion percentages were used to determine upper and lower confidence bounds around the inclusion point estimates.
When determining whether each state/jurisdiction met the NAEP inclusion goals, the confidence intervals were used, rather than just the point estimates. In other words, if the inclusion goal, whether 95 percent or 85 percent, fell within the corresponding confidence interval, the state/jurisdiction was considered as having met the goal. Therefore, states/jurisdictions for which the upper bound of the confidence interval was less than 95 percent did not meet the overall inclusion goal.
In 2011, all states met the goal of including 95 percent of all students selected for the NAEP samples, and all but three states (Kentucky, Michigan, and North Dakota) met the goal of including 85 percent of those students identified as SD or ELL selected for the samples.

Analysis of the importance and function of medical equipment screen
With the continuous advancement of technology, medical device screens play a vital role in the modern medical field. They are not only the core components of medical equipment, but also provide information, display data, and assist in diagnosis and treatment. The importance and role of medical device screens will be analyzed below.
In the medical process, the screen of the medical equipment plays an important role and plays a key information transmission function. Doctors can instantly obtain important information such as vital signs and disease data of patients through the screen, so as to help them make accurate diagnosis and treatment decisions. At the same time, the screen can also display relevant information such as the working status and operation guide of the medical equipment for reference by medical staff to ensure the safe operation of the medical equipment.
Medical equipment screen
The screens of medical equipment play an important role in assisting diagnosis and treatment. Through the images, curves and data on the screen, doctors can observe and analyze the patient's condition, helping them quickly and accurately identify the type and severity of the disease. During the operation, the images on the screen can assist the doctor to perform precise operations and improve the success rate and safety of the operation. In addition, the screen of the medical equipment can also display information such as the method of use and dosage of the drug, helping medical staff to use the drug correctly and avoid medication errors.
The monitoring function of the medical device screen can provide patient monitoring. For example, the screen of the ECG monitor can display the patient's ECG in real time, and send an alarm to remind the medical staff when an abnormal situation occurs. In this way, the doctor can take measures in time to protect the life safety of the patient.
The screen of medical equipment can not only display the operating status and fault information of the equipment, but also can be operated and controlled. Medical staff can easily adjust the parameters and modes of medical equipment through menus, buttons and other operation interfaces to achieve personalized treatment plans. In addition, the screen can also help maintenance personnel find and solve problems in time to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
In modern medicine, medical device screens play a crucial role. They are not only the main medium of information transmission, but also assist in diagnosis and treatment, provide patient monitoring and equipment operation and other functions. Therefore, the quality and performance of medical device screens are critical to the safety and effectiveness of medical procedures. In the future, with the continuous development of science and technology, medical equipment screens will become more intelligent and high-definition, bringing more convenience and innovation to the medical industry.

Android ImageButton Selector Example
In Android you can use the ImageButton component to display a normal Button with a custom image as a background. Take a look at our previous tutorial to remember the use of ImageButton. The fact is that you can do more than just an Image which is also a button. In this tutorial we are going to use two different images that will reflect the status of one button. When the button is released, the green Android logo will be the background image of the button. When the button is pressed, the green Android logo will be the background image of the button.
For this tutorial, we will use the following tools in a Windows 64-bit platform:
 1. JDK 1.7
 2. Eclipse 4.2 Juno
 3. Android SKD 4.2
1. Create a new Android Project
Open Eclipse IDE and go to File -> New -> Project -> Android -> Android Application Project and click Next.
You have to specify the Application Name, the Project Name and the Package name in the appropriate text fields and then click Next.
In the next window make sure the "Create activity" option is selected in order to create a new activity for your project, and click Next. This is optional as you can create a new activity after creating the project, but you can do it all in one step.
Select "BlankActivity" and click Next.
You will be asked to specify some information about the new activity. In the Layout Name text field you have to specify the name of the file that will contain the layout description of your app. In our case the file res/layout/main.xml will be created. Then, click Finish.
2. Adding a picture in the appropriate project folder
As you would have noticed in the Package explorer, there are 4 folders that contain the image resources of the project :
 1. res/drawable-hdpi
 2. res/drawable-ldpi
 3. res/drawable-mdpi
 4. res/drawable-hdpi
You can copy the images you want to put in you're application in any one of these folders. Android SDK will automatically recognize any images you put on any one of these folders as drawable resources. So, copy the images in the folder you want. If the image does not appear in the Package Explorer under the folder you've copied it into, right click on the project name and select Refresh. Now the image should be under the correct folder. As you can see, I've three images in res/drawable-hdpi:
3. Create the Selector for different button states
We want to use the Selector component as a drawable resource in our main.xml file. Right click on the res/drawable-hdpi folder and select New -> Other -> Android -> Android XML File:
And provide the requested attributes as shown in the picture below, and Click Finish:
As you will notice, on the Package Explorer a new folder has been created (res/drawable) that contains mybutton.xml:
So now mybutton.xml is a drawable resource. Open that file and paste the following code:

4. Create the main layout of the Application
Open res/layout/main.xml file :
And paste the following code :
 android:orientation="vertical" >
 android:background="_USER_/mybutton" />
Now you may open the Graphical layout editor to preview the User Interface you created:
5. Code
Go to the java file that contains the code of the activity you've just created:
And paste the following code:
package com.javacodegeeks.android.imagebuttonselectorexample;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 Button button;
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 public void addButtonListener() {
 button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
 button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
 public void onClick(View view) {
 Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"Button is clicked!",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
The above code is pretty straight forward. When we press the image button, a short message will be displayed.
6. Run the application
This is the main screen of our Application. Remember that the image is also a button:
Now, when you press the button and keep it pressed:
When you leave the button :

THEMIS Image of the Day, June 27, 2016. Today's false color image shows part of Margaritifer Terra. Dark blue in this band configuration often equates with sand or basaltic materials. The THEMIS VIS camera contains 5 filters. The data from different filters can be combined in multiple ways to create a false color image. These false color images may reveal variations of the surface not easily identified in a single band image.


Tracking Planes with an ESP8266
While there are apps that will display plane locations, [squix78] wanted to build a dedicated device for plane spotting. The ESP8266 PlaneSpotter Color is a standalone device that displays a live map with plane data on a color TFT screen. This device expands on his PlaneSpotter project, adding a color display and mapping functions.
First up, the device needs to know where planes are. The ADS-B data that is transmitted from planes contains useful data including altitude, velocity, position, and an identifier unique to the aircraft. While commercial services exist for getting this data, the PlaneSpotter uses ADS-B Exchange. You can set up a Raspberry Pi to record this data, and provide it to ADS-B Exchange.
With the plane data being received from the ADS-B Exchange API, it's time to draw to the screen. The JPEGDecoder fork for ESP8266 is used for drawing images, which are fetched from the MapQuest API as JPEGs.
Finally, geolocation is needed to determine where in the world the PlaneSpotter is. Rather than adding a GPS module, [squix78] went with a cheap solution: WiFi geolocation. This uses identifying information and signal strengths from nearby WiFi access points to determine location. This project uses a public API by [Alexander Mylnikov], which returns a JSON object with longitude and latitude.
This project demonstrates what the ESP8266 is capable of, and brings together some neat techniques. If you're looking to geolocate or display maps on an ESP8266, the code is available on Github.

Line Voltage Isolation Relays are Problematic for Modern Meters
Today, many utilities continue to do KYZ metering installations the same way they were done 30 and 40 years ago. Yes, they may still work, but it is not the best engineering solution due to changes in the meter's KYZ outputs. In addition, the long-term reliability of the meter's pulse output is compromised. Let's look at this more closely.
The classic KYZ pulse circuit involved a mechanical pulse initiator – a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch – in the meter and an isolation relay with latching mercury-wetted relays. This was the best and most noise-immune scheme available at the time. Line voltage, normally 120VAC (and sometimes 277VAC) was used as the "wetting voltage" across the pulse initiator. This was a good solution since 120VAC was readily available at the meter and the KYZ switch could easily handle the voltage. A transient suppression snubber network, a resistor and capacitor in series, was put in parallel with the contacts to suppress arcing on the mechanical switch. All in all, transients were not a big problem because the circuit contained a mechanical switch and two coils.
In the drawing above you can see the source, the switch, and the load, the elements needed for a circuit. The source is the 120VAC wetting voltage. The switch is the KYZ pulse initiator in the meter. The loads are the two relay coils of a latching mercury-wetted relay, commonly used in the KYZ pulse metering circuit. As the meter disc turned, a cam on the vertical axis alternately switched the SPDT pulse initiator switch from K-Y continuity to K-Z continuity. Since this was a SPDT switch, 120VAC was alternately routed to the two relay coils, which meant that only one coil could be energized at a time. In a mercury-wetted latching relay, one coil was the set coil and the other was the reset coil. Applying the wetting voltage to the set coil resulted in setting the contacts in the K-Y continuity position. This was analogous to the normally-open contact being closed. Applying the wetting voltage to the reset coil resulted in resetting the contacts back to the K-Z position. Since the relay was a latching design, this eliminated contact bounce and was a very, very robust noise immunity scheme. One of the things that made this scheme so robust and reliable was the fact that all these components were electro-mechanical in nature and, as such, were imperious to lightning and transient voltages on the power lines.
Now, fast forward many decades. In the 80's and 90's, meter manufacturers started experimenting with solid state pulse initiators. This was driven by the long, arduous process of transitioning meters to fully solid state, a meter that had no moving parts – no rotating eddy current disk, no vertical axis, no cam, and no KYZ SPDT mechanical switch. So the process of creating a pulse became electronically synthesized. The SPDT mechanical switch was replaced by an electronic switch. The type commonly used today in all of the solid state meters' KYZ output board is an optically-isolated MOS-FET solid state relay.
Solid state, by nature, is much more sensitive to lightning, transient voltages, and disturbances on the power lines. Great efforts are made by all electronics manufacturers to make sure that lightning, static discharge, and transient voltages do not affect their device. This takes a good understanding of the kinds of voltages, currents, and environmental factors that will be present when such an event takes place. Unfortunately, in most KYZ pulse applications, these details are not always known. The utility generally gives the customer the K, Y, and Z wires and says "Here it is. Hook up your equipment." With an older meter, this would not present a problem due to the robust nature of the electromechanical components. However, today that pulse circuit may or may not last depending on the application environment and specifics of the installation.
The ideal solution to this problem is to use a low wetting voltage relay. These relays incorporate a transformer-isolated DC power supply that provides a current-limited and transient-protected +13VDC to the meter. Using a low DC voltage is a better solution to the problem for three important reasons:
In the pulse metering circuit shown in the figure below, all the same wires are used but are wired in a different configuration to the low voltage relay:
By using low voltage isolation relays, reliability is improved and the meter is better protected. The low voltage isolation relays are compatible with all known KYZ outputs currently being offered on electric meters. At least one meter manufacturer recently replaced a 350V part to a 250V part, even though a high voltage rating is critical for the relay's survival in the field. At least a 400V rating on the solid state relay is required for 120VAC voltages. Anything less will compromise reliability and survivability. However, low voltage isolation relays are a perfect solution for this, and all types of modern meters, which is why SSI has discontinued offering line voltage relays in favor of the more reliable low voltage isolation relays. Utilities may want to consider changing to low voltage relays to improve reliability extend the life of today's solid state meters.

figure users and groups within AWS Redshift itself, it does not scale well for large organisations. That is true for other data warehouses as well, as managing your identities in a centralised location reduces overhead and risks. Redshift integrates with identity providers such as ADFS or Okta (or any other IDP that supports SAML 2.0 or OIDC.
Once integrated, Redshift obtains the users and groups settings from the IDP, and you can set the privileges for the appropriate groups (and if needed also users) via the GRANT command, as described above.
Conclusion
AWS Redshift provides a helpful set of tools for controlling access and securing your data warehouse clusters. For some use-cases, such as those requiring granular or dynamic access controls, it is challenging to achieve business objectives with Redshift alone.
This is where Satori is happy to step in and help.
Satori and network access control
Satori can help you achieve significantly more granular network-based access control when deployed in front of a Redshift data warehouse. For example, using Satori, you can allow global access to your Redshift data warehouse while prohibiting access to specific resources (databases, schemas, tables, rows or columns) outside of a certain set of IP addresses.
Satori and fine-grained access control of Redshift
When deploying Satori in front of a Redshift environment, you can create column, row and cell-based granular access controls tied to business rules instead of securable objects. This enables easy maintenance of such policies and a gradual roll-out process (beginning with alert-only for a subset of your data consumers). You can also achieve easy visibility into the existing data access patterns and violations on the Satori dashboard.
In addition, you can set fine-grained access control according to classified data types, instead of database objects.
Satori and keeping track of access violations
Satori keeps track of logins and sessions to Satori-protected Redshift environments, enabling security policies to handle such violations as well as enhanced visibility into suspicious incidents.
Satori and handling data protection of Redshift permission issues
By using Satori, access control violations (whether in "alert" mode or blocked) are logged without limitations. We also remove the need to worry about extracting raw data from S3 buckets by transforming and loading it into a separate data store you can query at your leisure. This allows security teams to gain full visibility into past violations and take appropriate action.

I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. If you encounter errors or think of parameters I neglected to review, please feel free to reach out to me on twitter (@kernelXSS) or by email.

XObject.Changing Event
Raised when this XObject or any of its descendants are about to change.
Namespace: System.Xml.Linq
Assembly: System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)
public event EventHandler<XObjectChangeEventArgs> Changing
Events are raised only from modification of an XML tree, not from construction of an XML tree. You have to add an event handler to an event before you can receive events, and you can't add an event handler before you have a reference to an XObject. You can't get a reference to an XObject before the XML tree is constructed. This means that during functional construction of an XML tree, you will not receive events.
You should be careful when modifying an XML tree within one of these events, because doing this might lead to unexpected results. For example, if you receive a Changing event, and while the event is being processed you remove the node from the tree, you might not receive the Changed event. When an event is being processed, it is valid to modify an XML tree other than the one that contains the node that is receiving the event; it is even valid to modify the same tree provided the modifications do not affect the specific nodes on which the event was raised. However, if you modify the area of the tree that contains the node receiving the event, the events that you receive and the impact to the tree are undefined.
The following example adds an event handler to the root element of an XML tree. It then modifies the tree, causing LINQ to XML to raise some events.
XElement root = new XElement("Root", "content");
root.Changing += new EventHandler<XObjectChangeEventArgs>(
 (sender, cea) =>
 {
 Console.WriteLine("Changing event raised");
 XElement xSender = (XElement)sender;
 Console.WriteLine(" Sender: {0}", xSender.Name);
 Console.WriteLine(" ObjectChange: {0}", cea.ObjectChange);
 }
);
root.Changed += new EventHandler<XObjectChangeEventArgs>(
 (sender, cea) =>
 {
 Console.WriteLine("Changed event raised");
 XElement xSender = (XElement)sender;
 Console.WriteLine(" Sender: {0}", xSender.Name);
 Console.WriteLine(" ObjectChange: {0}", cea.ObjectChange);
 }
);
root.Add(new XElement("Child", "child content"));
This example produces the following output:
Changing event raised
 Sender: Child
 ObjectChange: Add
Changed event raised
 Sender: Child
 ObjectChange: Add

RNA expression in the single cell type clusters identified in this tissue visualized by a UMAP plot (top) and a bar chart (bottom).
- UMAP PLOT visualizes the cells in each cluster; where each dot corresponds to a cell. For each individual cell, mouseover reveals read count and which cluster the cell belongs to. Hovering over a cluster name will highlight the corresponding cluster in the bar chart below. There are 2 options for color schemes: 1) cell type color, which is based on cell type groups used in the Single Cell Type section and 2) cluster color, which assigns a unique color to each cluster. Thre are 3 options for cell intensities: 1) Intensity, which color the individual cells according to % of max (log2(read_count+1)/log2(max(read_count)+1)*100) in five different bins (<1%,<25%,<50%,<75%,≥75%) 2) Interval, which color the individual cells according to fixed interval of read count (0,1,2-4,5-9,>10) 3) Hexagon, which color the hexagon on average read count of all cells inside the hexagon
- The BAR CHART shows RNA expression (nTPM) in each cell type cluster. Hovering over the cluster name reveals nTPM value and number of included cells. Hovering over a bar highlights the corresponding cluster in the UMAP plot above. Color-coding can be toggled on the top of the page, between 2 options: 1) cell type color, which is based on cell type groups used in the Cell Type and 2) cluster color, which assigns a unique color to each cluster.


Fighting the People's War: The British and Commonwealth Armies and the Second World War
Fighting the People's War is an unprecedented, panoramic history of the 'citizen armies' of the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand and South Africa, the core of the British and Commonwealth armies in the Second World War. Drawing on new sources to reveal the true wartime experience of the ordinary rank and file, Jonathan Fennell fundamentally challenges our understanding of the War and of the relationship between conflict and socio-political change. He uncovers how fractures on the home front had profound implications for the performance of the British and Commonwealth armies and he traces how soldiers' political beliefs, many of which emerged as a consequence of their combat experience, proved instrumental to the socio-political changes of the postwar era. Fighting the People's War transforms our understanding of how the great battles were won and lost as well as how the postwar societies were forged.

Iglic, Hajdeja, Jesper Rözer, and Beate Volker (2020). Economic crisis and social capital in European societies: the role of politics in understanding short-term changes in social capital. European Societies.
summary: How did the economic crisis impact social capital in European societies? The empirical studies conducted so far provide contradictory conclusions about the strength and direction of its influence. We argue that to better understand the effects of the economic crisis on social capital (social trust, formal and informal networks) it is crucial to examine both its impact on people's economic situation and the way it reshaped the relationship between individuals and political institutions and altered key political factors (political trust, the welfare state, political activism). Our analysis of European Social Survey data between 2006 and 2012 shows that changes in social trust were smaller than in formal and informal social networks. It also confirms that political factors played an important mediating role in producing these changes: changes in social trust and formal networks can especially be explained by the impact of the political factors, while variations in informal networks are mainly due to the changing economy. Moreover, the analyses show that while the economic crisis generally lowered social capital, some mechanisms such as a sense of togetherness and left-wing political activism, enhanced social capital.

I think, that it would be nice to include tropics, arctic and antarctic circles in planet grids. They are well defined at least for planets (the only parameter, which set their position is the angle between planet's rotation axis and it's orbital plane).
I realise, that the issue is more complicated for moons, objects with unusual orbits (without well defined orbital plane) or unusual rotation (without well defined rotation axis). That's why I propose an additional boolean parameter. It's value would decide about displaying these 4 circles. It would look like that:
- Code: Select all
(...) # all other parameters
There are two possibilities of displaying tropics, arctic and antarctic circles. They could be just parts of the grid, but they might also be displayable separately (like the terminator). They could also move in very long time scales, adjusting to eventual changes of the angle between planet's rotation axis and it's orbital plane. What do you think?
P. S. These circles should look quite funny on Uranus

In a quest to spread the message of change, transformation, transparency and integrity, the Accountability Lab in the 35th anniversary celebration of the Sociology and Anthropology Students Association (SASA) at the University of Liberia. The event was marked by a parade and conference that brought together over 300 hundred participants, including members of the University of Liberia administration, SASA department staff and instructors, students and other invited guests.
Sociology is one of the largest departments at the University of Liberia. As a nation emerging from 14 years of civil war, the study of human relations can play a critical role in post-conflict reconstruction. The theme of the SASA convocation was "Nonviolence is imperative for a peaceful society". The program touched on several themes:
- Think Developmentally. The growth of a nation begins with its people. A major way for Liberia to develop is when the students of the University of Liberia start to live by its motto" Lux En Tenebris" which means "Light in Darkness". One of the best ways to develop a country is to develop the minds of the citizens so that they can take ownership of their country.
In his remarks Mr. Yealue challenged SASA members to take the lead in transforming the social patterns of Liberia in a direction that brings about social change, economic transformation, social cohesion, nationalism, and a sense of belonging. He concluding by noting that the Accountability Lab is always eager to engage potential partners.
- Career Contribution: Sociology and Anthropology played a vital role in allowing us to understand our society. The change we want to see doesn't come from those above, rather it starts from us. The field of study of Sociology must serve as a true light of change in our various communities.
- Reason leads to Action: When the leadership of SASA was asked about their contributions to the theme of the event, several key points were observed:
- SASA serves a peer advisory role, helping students understand course offerings and make the most of their formal education opportunities.
- Students at the University of Liberia frequently resort to violent actions to obtain results that they desire. This forum will provide a key first step in promoting a culture of accountability that reduces violent extremism on campus.
- The consequences of Liberia's civil war are acutely felt by today's students. SASA does not wish to follow in the steps of our predecessors by ignoring societal problems, rather SASA wishes to take the lead in setting a non-violent agenda for Liberia. an
- Collective effort: For a nation to be develop, citizens must have a sense of nationalism, patriotism and belonging. All of these qualities are developed by a strong education and understanding of human society. The change we need requires contributions from all.

Evaluating the uncertainty of life cycle assessments : estimating the greenhouse gas emissions for Fischer-Tropsch fuels
MetadataShow full item record
Environmental regulations have historically been focused on individual emission points, facilities, or industrial sectors. However, recent and emerging regulations for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions such as those contained in the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 have introduced the concept of product life cycle limits on the emissions of transportation fuels. Thus, a complete life cycle assessment (LCA) of the transportation fuel must be completed where all emissions from field to the vehicle's fuel tank and from tank to the vehicle's exhaust must be assessed. However, although there have been extensive analysis of the GHG emissions associated with transportation fuels, there are substantial uncertainties associated with these estimates that can be attributed to poor data quality, inconsistent methodological choices, and model uncertainties, among others. This thesis evaluates the uncertainties present in LCA through the case study of fuel production using Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) synthesis of fuels derived from coal and biomass. Specifically, GHG emission estimates for F-T synthesis process scenarios are presented and the uncertainties in the estimates are discussed. Overall uncertainties in GHG emissions due to changes in the details of the process configurations in the F-T process can be up to 11%. This finding suggests that the details of fuel refining conditions will need to be specified in determining whether fuels meet GHG emission requirements, complicating the implementation of life cycle GHG regulations.

Wonderful, pulsing with grace, and an awe inspiring atmosphere, Bali is the most admired getaway destinations on the globe that demonstrates a fascinating amalgam of many attributes. A holiday in the place is welcome at any time; visiting through festivals helps make for an all the greater occurring holiday. Take a look at five common festivals from the island which enamour countless holidaymakers and prompts them to e book air tickets to Bali a great deal in advance.
Among the list of revered festivals inside the island Galungan occurs just about every 210 times and lasts for ten days. In the Pageant, people today of Bali celebrate the victory of advantage over evil. Guests can delight in wonderful dances, enough of cultural food items, and an excellent jovial ambience. Inhabitants on the island beautify a tall bamboo pole outside their properties. On tenth working day celebrations take place at water temple; Tampaksiring and ancestors are honoured with countless tributes.
Tawur Kesanga and Nyepi
Travellers booking tickets to Bali in advance for journey during late March or early April usually takes part in Tawur Kesanga and Nyepi. It can be celebrated for marking the beginning of recent lunar year. Tawur Kesanga falls each day just before Nyepi. On Tawur Kesanga, villagers build effigies of monster and immediately after having to pay tributes they burn it in just ceremonial fire. Future working day, Nyepi, the day of silence is celebrated without any amusement and merrymaking. Not a soul is allowed to shift outside of the house Because the stillness of your island tricks the devil spirit into believing that villagers have left the spot.
Bali Art Festival
Come June, and also the island basks in the glory of Bali Arts Festival. The full thirty day period Competition features amazing each day performances, magnificent handicraft exhibitions and plenty of cultural functions. It's an once a year cultural event of Denpasar or can say full Indonesia usually takes element while in the carnival. Bali Artwork Competition gives a singular chance to behold the spectacular classical palace dance performances, enjoy the calming tunes and gorge on lip smacking foods.
Nusa Dua Competition
Nusa Dua Pageant is celebrated while in the month of August and September. It capabilities large number of colourful cultural gatherings, amazing handicraft exhibitions, mesmerizing standard art, enthralling dance, outstanding drama and enamouring tunes performances. Travellers reserving airline tickets to Bali can immerse from the superb tradition of the island as being the Pageant gives wonderful cultural performances and things to do.
Bali Kite Competition
Last but not the minimum, a novel among the all festivals Bali Kite Festival is celebrated in Padang Galak close to Sanur Seaside throughout June. The competition is celebrated to request god for producing rich harvests and crops. On this festival, multi hued and unique formed kites accentuate the attraction of aqua blue sky. Small children and older people just take section from the kite flying competitiveness as well as the ambience in the seaside is punctuated with entrancing melody of gamelan orchestra.

Critics have long complained about the environmental costs of bottled water. Those costs are a concern when the bottled water come to the U.S. from the Pacific islands of Fiji. But now the bottler of "Fiji Water" has an environmental plan to make "Fiji Water" carbon-negative.
"The World's" Julia Kumari Drapkin tested whether people can taste the difference between carbon negative water from Fiji and water fresh from the faucet:
Tom Moony of Fiji water says drinking his product can be good for the planet, regardless of how far the bottles travel across it. Fiji water is "CARBON NEGATIVE."
Carbon negative meaning the trees we're planting take at least 120% of the carbon out of the atmosphere that we put in.
So for every bottle of Fiji water consumed, the company is planting trees in Fiji's rainforests. And eventually those trees - in about thirty years or so - might offset the carbon footprint of all those bottles plus 20%. And voila - carbon negative water.
So Mooney says, by drinking carbon negative water:
"You are doing something positive for the environment - there isn't another product out there -- in our industry -- that gives you the opportunity to take the carbon out of the atmosphere by choosing that product."
So the message in a water bottle from Fiji is that it's good for the environment?
Sounds too good to be true, right? Well actually some experts in the field say Fiji may be on to something.
If Fiji Water is truly transparent about its carbon emissions and if it manages its trees properly then Fiji Water can be carbon negative.

The structure and performances of a CMOS image sensor fabricated by integrating technologies in a series of process flow that achieve wide spectral response, high robustness to ultraviolet (UV) light, high conversion gain (CG) and high full well capacity (FWC) is described. For PD junction formation, a high concentration p+ layer with steep dopant concentration profile was formed on a thick p-epitaxial layer. The concentration of the surface p+ layer was tuned sufficiently high in order to maintain the high UV light sensitivity and dark current against the deuterium lamp irradiation. For the FD structure, a lightly doped drain implantation before sidewall formation was omitted to reduce gate overlap capacitance. A CMOS image sensor using a 0.18 μm CMOS process technology achieved a high CG of 240 μV/e-, a high FWC of 200 ke-, a wide spectral response for _PHONE_ nm and a high robustness to deuterium lamp irradiation stress.

Antennas In Sydney Inner West
With the improvement in telecommunication technology, newer versions of TV antenna have started flooding the market. Now, antennas are available for both indoor and outdoor use. 'Rabbit ears', 'bunny aerials' are some of the popular forms of antennas for indoor use. However, these indoor antennas are not as efficient as outdoor antennas. The outdoor antennas evenly receive the signals and are efficient in transmitting the signals. At the same time, the capacity of the outdoor antenna can be enhanced by adding some more elements. These features are not available in indoor antennas.
Normally antennas are installed on the top of the roof or in the attic (below the pitched roofs). In the normal course, those tv aerial which are installed at a higher place will be able to transmit clear signals. Antennas which are not multi directional should be turned towards the direction where the signal is available. A wire is connected from the antenna to the television unit and by this procedure the television unit gets the signal.
The Inner West is not a precise geographical region. The Australian Bureau of Statistics limits its Inner Western Sydney statistical region to the local government areas of:
City of Canada Bay
Municipality of Ashfield
Municipality of Strathfield
The NSW Government's Metropolitan Strategy adds an extra local government area to its Inner West subregion:
Municipality of Leichhardt
The local newspaper, the Inner West Courier, adds one further local government area:
Digital Antennas For Sydney Inner West Suburbs
The Inner West is a general term which is used to describe the metropolitan area directly to the west of the Sydney central business district, New South Wales, Australia. The suburbs of the Inner West are predominantly located along the southern shore of Port Jackson (Parramatta River), stretching south to the shores of the Cooks River.

This post is for World Bird Wednesday
This morning I was invited to visit a beautiful bird-friendly garden. Brian and Sue have been living here for about twenty years and they have a garden filled with mature trees and shrubs as well as areas of low-growing foliage and flowers. Many of the trees and shrubs are flowering and fruiting varieties that the birds love. There are also areas of low growing foliage where the ground is mulched and plenty of dried leaves are left for ground dwelling birds to hide in among. Add to all this beds of veges and herbs and large beds of strawberries.
I could see birds flying between the trees but I had come to see a special pair of Bush Stone-curlews (Burhinus grallarius). These birds have been in this garden for a number of years and have nested and raised young ones here. There are no cats or dogs to bother them and they are used to people moving quietly through the garden. They have a couple of favorite spots where they can sit down among the plants and get lots of winter sunshine. (Click on photos to enlarge them.)
(Added later! I should have given an indication of the size of these birds. Length 550mm including 180mm tail and 45mm bill. These birds are NOT small!)
Birding books say that Bush Stone-curlews are shy and more often heard than seen. However, they can also become used to people around them in places where they feel safe. The garden this morning was very peaceful and it was great to have the opportunity to see these birds so close. Thanks Sue and Brian!
