RCUI Document Version 5.0.0 for Oracle® Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 Patch Set 1 (184.108.40.206.0)
Last Updated 06-May-2010
Content Switchers allow users to quickly jump back and forth between applications, to change the context of a page or page section, or to change user login.
Note: Images in this guideline are provided as a general reference, and may not be exact representations of FusionFX pages.
Related ADF Elements
Refer to the ADF Faces Rich Client demos page to find demos and tag documentation for the ADF elements related to this component:
Content Switchers are types of choice lists that are used to change quickly from one product, set of content, or user account to another.
Content Switcher usage depends on the type of switcher. Each type of switcher is described in its own section of this guideline:
- Application Switcher: Switches from one product to another.
- Context Switcher: Switches content within a page or section of a page.
- Login Switcher: Switches from one user account to another.
Note: The Content Switcher is not a separate ADF component. It is implemented using the "compact" mode of Select Choice, with certain types of values configured by product teams. See the Related ADF Elements list above for a list of ADF components that may be used to implement a content switcher.
All three types of content switchers consist of the same basic elements:
- Current Selection Text: Indicates the current application, context, or user account. The form of the text depends on the location of the switcher. See the section for each type of switcher for details.
- Drop-Down Button: Opens the switcher choice list. See the Select Choice guideline for component details.
- Choice List: Contains a list of applications, contexts, or users. Content switcher choice lists should be configured as follows:
- Each entry consists of a single line.
- Blank entries are not permitted.
- Entries should be grouped using separator lines.
Content Switcher Elements
The differences between content switchers are a function of switcher location and list content, as described in the following subsections.
Allows the user to switch back and forth between Oracle products.
- An application switcher may only be placed after the product name in the Branding bar, where the product name functions as the current selection text.
- When the user clicks the switcher drop-down button, the choice list displays a list of applications.
- Selecting an application name from the choice list takes the user to the Home page or default opening page of another application.
- Switch within a family of applications: for example, from Sales to Support applications.
- Switch between modules within a family of applications: for example, from one HR module to another HR module.
- Switch between related applications: for example, from a Sales application to Order Management application.
- Switch between different editions or versions of an application: for example, from a recruitment application for managers to a recruitment application for employees.
- The application switcher is primarily recommended for applications belonging to a product suite, where users may need to frequently switch between applications to gain different views or perform different operations on the same or related data.
- If implemented, the application switcher should appear on every page of the application.
- The application switcher must also be implemented in every application listed in the switcher to enable two-way navigation between applications.
- An application switcher should not be used for linking to locations other than the Home Page or default opening page of another application, or Favorites configured by the user.
- An application switcher choice list may also contain the list of Favorites the user has set up. This list should be appended to the application list, after a separator line.
- Do not use an application switcher to link to a specific location within another application. If this is required, use a link within page content together with instructions that identify the task to be performed at the target location in the other application.
Allows the user to change content on the current page or a section of the current page.
- A context switcher may be placed in different locations. In each location, the preceding header text functions as the current selection text.
- Contextual Branding, to switch context for the entire page.
- Primary page header/title, to switch context for the entire page.
- Section header, to switch context for that section only.
- When the user clicks the switcher drop-down button, the choice list displays a list of contexts.
- Selecting a context from the choice list refreshes the page or section with new content.
- Content changes made on one page are usually reflected on drill-down pages, and may also be reflected in subsequent pages of a multi-page process.
Context Switcher in Contextual Branding Area
Two Images of Context Switcher in Header Region (One Showing Select Choice List)
- A user is looking at a detail page of database XYZ, and then uses the context switcher to change the view to database ABC.
- A user is viewing assets for the Accounting department. There is an object list of assets, work requests regarding the assets, and other functionality regarding the assets of that organization. The user uses the context switcher to view the Marketing department assets.
- A project manager is viewing the project schedule and resources for construction of an office building, and then uses the context switcher to view the project schedule and resources for construction of a hospital.
- The context switcher is recommended as a quick, alternative method of switching page contexts, without requiring users to navigate up to an object list to select a different object or attribute.
- The context switcher is recommended for professional applications; avoid placing it in applications for non-technical users because users may lose track of their context if provided with context switchers.
- When implemented, the context switcher must appear on every page listed in the choice list to enable two-way navigation between those pages.
Allows the user to change login credentials without restarting the application.
- A login switcher may be placed after a login stamp, with the login stamp data functioning as the current selection text. See the Page Stamps guideline for more details on login stamps.
- When the user clicks the switcher drop-down button, the choice list displays a list of user IDs.
- Selecting a user ID from the choice list switches credentials, allowing access to different application features or data depending on privileges of the user account.
Login Switcher with User Stamp Label
- An administrator is logged in with a personal user account and realizes that super-user privileges are necessary to complete a task. In this case a login switcher allows the administrator to quickly change the login without needing to restart the application.
- A member of a project team is working on a shared computer when another user needs quick access to data managed within the same application. They can use the login switcher to quickly change the login account to view or edit data, and then switch back to the original login so the first user can continue work.
- The login switcher is recommended as a quick, alternative method of switching logins, without needing to restart the application or the system.
- The login switcher is recommended for professional users; applications for non-technical users typically provide access only for a single user ID.
- When implemented, the login switcher must be available for all user accounts listed in the choice list to enable two-way switching between user accounts.

A number of research projects into Arctic oil spill response technology are underway thanks to a joint industry program (JIP) that officially launched in January of this year.
The Arctic Oil Spill Response JIP, under the auspices of the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers, will conduct research over a four-year period in six areas related to oil spill response preparedness, including dispersants, environmental effects, trajectory modeling, remote sensing, mechanical recovery and in-situ burning. Research projects being conducted under the JIP include the fate of dispersed oil under ice, dispersant testing under realistic conditions, and oil spill detection and mapping in low visibility and ice.
The JIP originated from a task force formed in 2008 by the oil spill working group of IPIECA, a global oil and gas association that studies environmental and social issues, seeking to understand the state of knowledge for Arctic oil spill response. Two recommendations came from that task force – one, that a publication detailing information from 40 years of research for Arctic regions be created, and the second, for a joint industry program to be formed looking at areas of oil spill response technology, said Becky Silves, chair of the Arctic Oil Spill Response Technology JIP, in an interview with Rigzone at the Arctic Technology Conference in Houston earlier this month.

What is the blackest black?
We tell ourselves it isn't there:
We say it is gray, because gray obscures
and night is gray with the graying black
but night is black, so we move on,
into dreams or out of dreams,
we chance upon a different color
and follow its rules, and say it is true
We look at the night, and we say it is red
the red of our eyes, the red over our bones
it is the shifting red, the red where the sun moves,
the red of replacement, the red of night-women,
the red that follows white, the sloughed-off red,
the silent but listening red.
And the night is red in these ways, and
when its gray is reddened, it is blackened
The night is greened with horizons, a
billiard-ball's green, a folded and whispering green
it speaks in bluish-green tones that are soft
Under the shadow of the green wall of the night,
the trees lay hold to infinite space,
their roots dripping thick water behind our eyes
and outside the shadow of the green wall
gold coins tumble on an azure field, fangled with white fire.

If you work out the cost of this expenditure over a year it can be quite astounding – just 2 cups of coffee per day ($8), for 7 days a week, adds up to almost $ per annum! Caffeine. Now that designer coffee, hip. That equates to a cost of cents per mg of caffeine. To put things in perspective, a brewed coffee of the same size contains approximately mg of caffeine and will cost around $2 at your average café. This equates to a cost of merely cents per mg of caffeine.

Two-Dimensional study of heat transfer characteristics flow in a corrugated channel
Keywords:plate heat exchanger, corrugated channel, fluent, turbulence.
The present work consists of a numerical study of turbulent incompressible two-dimensional flow with heat transfer in a corrugated channel using a computer code. The k-ε model is used for turbulence modeling. The governing continuity, momentum and energy equations are written in two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system and are numerically solved using finite volume method. This study concerns the effect of the Reynolds number based on the hydraulic diameter and the thermal behavior of the hydraulic channel. The thermal and dynamic fields of the flow in the corrugated channel were obtained in a satisfactory manner. Satisfactory results about velocity distributions, pressure and temperature allowed us to understand the behavior of the Nusselt number and friction coefficient along the walls of corrugated channel. A comparison between the numerical and experimental results shows a good agreement.


outside a certain explicit set of linear factors, $F^\iota \nmid \mathfrak {F}_{f,i}$ and $F\nmid \mathfrak {F}_{{\overline {f}},k-i}$ if and only if $F\nmid \gcd (\mathfrak {F}_{{\overline {f}},k-i}^\sharp ,\mathfrak {F}_{{\overline {f}},k-i}^\flat )$ . (See Theorem 4.4 for the precise statement of this result.)
In the case where $T_f$ is the Tate module of an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb {Q}$ with good supersingular reduction at p, a similar result has been proved in [Reference Lei and Sujatha18]. One of the key ingredients of the proof given in [Reference Lei and Sujatha18] is a link between the fine Selmer group of E over $\mathbb {Q}_{\operatorname {\mathrm {cyc}}}$ and the maximal $\Lambda $ -torsion submodule of the Pontryagin dual of the p-primary Selmer group of E over $\mathbb {Q}_{\operatorname {\mathrm {cyc}}}$ that was proved by Wingberg [Reference Wingberg, Coates, Greenberg, Mazur and Satake28] (see also Matar [Reference Matar19], where an alternative proof is given). In the present paper, we prove Theorem 4.4 by first establishing analogues of Wingberg's result in the context of modular forms (see Theorems 3.1 and 3.4). Wingberg worked with Selmer groups defined using flat cohomology, whereas Matar worked with Selmer groups defined using Galois cohomology. In the present paper, the latter definition is used. Our proof is very different from the ones employed in both [Reference Matar19] and [Reference Wingberg, Coates, Greenberg, Mazur and Satake28]. We make use of Nekovář's spectral sequence that seems to give a somewhat simpler and more general proof than the previous proofs available in the literature. We hope that these results may be of independent interest.
2 Definitions of Selmer groups and related objects
2.1 Fine Selmer groups
Let $L_n$ be the unique subextension of $\mathbb {Q}_{\operatorname {\mathrm {cyc}}}$ such that ${[L_n:\mathbb {Q}]=p^n}$ . Given an algebraic extension L of $\mathbb {Q}$ , we write $S(L)$ for the primes of L lying above $pN$ as well as the archimedean primes. We write $G_S(L)$ for the Galois group of the maximal algebraic extension of L that is unramified outside $S(L)$ .
For $g\in \{f,{\overline {f}}\}$ and $j\in \mathbb {Z}$ , we define the fine Selmer group of $A_g({\kern1.5pt}j)$ over L to be
$$ \begin{align*} \operatorname{\mathrm{Sel}}_0(A_g({\kern1.5pt}j)/L)=\ker\bigg(H^1(G_S(L),A_g({\kern1.5pt}j))\rightarrow\prod_{v\in S(L)} H^1(L_v,A_g({\kern1.5pt}j))\bigg). \end{align*} $$
Recall that $\operatorname {\mathrm {Sel}}_0(A_g({\kern1.5pt}j)/\mathbb {Q}_{\operatorname {\mathrm {cyc}}})^\vee $ is torsion over $\Lambda $ ; we write $\mathfrak {F}_{g,j}$ for a choice of a generator of the characteristic ideal $\mathrm {Char}_\Lambda \operatorname {\mathrm {Sel}}_0(A_g({\kern1.5pt}j)/\mathbb {Q}_{\operatorname {\mathrm {cyc}}})^\vee $ .
The classical Selmer group of $A_g({\kern1.5pt}j)$ over L is defined to be
$$ \begin{align*} \operatorname{\mathrm{Sel}}(A_g({\kern1.5pt}j)/L)=\ker\bigg(H^1(G_S(L),A_g({\kern1.5pt}j))\rightarrow\prod_{v\in S(L)} \frac{H^1(L_v,A_g({\kern1.5pt}j))}{H^1_{\mathrm{f}}(L_v,A_g({\kern1.5pt}j))}\bigg), \end{align*} $$
where $H^1_{\mathrm {f}}(L_v,A_g({\kern1.5pt}j))$ is defined as in [Reference Bloch, Kato, Cartier, Illusie, Katz, Laumon, Manin and Ribet4, Section 3].
2.2 Wach modules and signed Coleman maps
We recall the definition of signed Coleman maps from [Reference Lei, Loeffler and Zerbes16, Reference Lei, Loeffler and Zerbes17] that generalise those studied in [Reference Kobayashi13, Reference Sprung27] in the context of elliptic curves with supersingular reduction at p. Here, we do not require p to be a nonordinary prime for f. The only requirement is that p is coprime to N, so that the representation $V_f$ is crystalline at p.
For $g\in \{f,{\overline {f}}\}$ , $j\in \mathbb {Z}$ and $m\in \{1,2\}$ , we shall write
$$ \begin{align*} \mathfrak{H}^m_{g,j}=\varprojlim_n H^m(L_n,T_g({\kern1.5pt}j)), \quad \mathbb{H}^m_{g,j}=\varprojlim H^m(L_{n,p},T_g({\kern1.5pt}j)), \end{align*} $$
where the connecting maps are corestrictions and we have abused notation by writing p for the unique prime of $L_n$ above p. We write $\mathrm {loc}_p:\mathfrak {H}^1_{g,j}\rightarrow \mathbb {H}^1_{g,j}$ for the localisation map.
Let $T=T_g(k-1)$ , where $g\in \{f,{\overline {f}}\}$ . We write $\mathbb {N}(T)$ for the Wach module of T. (See [Reference Berger3, Section II.1] for the precise definition of $\mathbb {N}(T)$ .) Roughly speaking, $\mathbb {N}(T)$ is a filtered $\varphi $ -module over the ring $\mathcal {O}[\![\pi ]\!]$ , where $\pi $ is an element in the ring of Witt vectors of $\varprojlim _{x\mapsto x^p}\mathbb {C}_p$ , given by $[(1, \zeta _p,\zeta _{p^2},\ldots )]-1$ , and $\zeta _{p^n}$ is a primitive $p^n$ th root of unity in $\mathbb {C}_p$ such that $\zeta _{p^{n+1}}^p=\zeta _{p^n}$ . One may regard $\pi $ as a formal variable equipped with an action of $\varphi $ and $\Gamma _0=\operatorname {\mathrm {Gal}}(\mathbb {Q}_p(\mu _{p^\infty })/\mathbb {Q}_p)$ given by $\varphi (\pi )=(1+\pi )^p

2 Lecture's Goals –Shift Method –Inverse Power Method –Accelerated Power Method –QR Factorization –Householder –Hessenberg Method
3 Shift method It is possible to obtain another eigenvalue from the set equations by using a technique known as shifting the matrix. Subtract the a vector from each side, thereby changing the maximum eigenvalue
4 Shift method The eigenvalue, s, is the maximum value of the matrix A. The matrix is rewritten in a form. Use the Power method to obtain the largest eigenvalue of [B].
5 Example of Shift Method Consider the follow matrix A Assume an arbitrary vector x 0 = { 1 1 1} T
6 Example of Shift Method Multiply the matrix by the matrix [A] by {x} Normalize the result of the product
7 Example of Shift Method Continue with the iteration and the final value is = -5. However, to get the true you need to shift back by:
8 Inverse Power Method The inverse method is similar to the power method, except that it finds the smallest eigenvalue. Using the following technique.
9 Inverse Power Method The algorithm is the same as the Power method and the "eigenvector" is not the eigenvector for the smallest eigenvalue. To obtain the smallest eigenvalue from the power method.
10 Inverse Power Method The inverse algorithm use the technique avoids calculating the inverse matrix and uses a LU decomposition to find the {x} vector.
11 Example The matrix is defined as:
12 Matlab Program There are set of programs Power and InversePower. The InversePower(A, x 0,iter,tol) does the inverse method.
13 Accelerated Power Method The Power method can be accelerated by using the Rayleigh Quotient instead of the largest w k value. The Rayleigh Quotient is defined as:
14 Accelerated Power Method The values of the next z term is defined as: The Power method is adapted to use the new value.
15 Example of Accelerated Power Method Consider the follow matrix A Assume an arbitrary vector x 0 = { 1 1 1} T
16 Example of Accelerated Power Method Multiply the matrix by the matrix [A] by {x}
17 Example of Accelerated Power Method Multiply the matrix by the matrix [A] by {x}
18 Example of Accelerated Power Method
19 And so on...
20 QR Factorization The technique can be used to find the eigenvalue using a successive iteration using Householder transformation to find an equivalent matrix to [A] having an eigenvalues on the diagonal
21 QR Factorization Another form of factorization A = Q*R Produces an orthogonal matrix ("Q") and a right upper triangular matrix ("R") Orthogonal matrix - inverse is transpose
22 Why do we care? We can use Q and R to find eigenvalues 1. Get Q and R (A = Q*R) 2. Let A = R*Q 3. Diagonal elements of A are eigenvalue approximations 4. Iterate until converged QR Factorization Note: QR eigenvalue method gives all eigenvalues simultaneously, not just the dominant
23 In practice, QR factorization on any given matrix requires a number of steps First transform A into Hessenberg form Hessenberg matrix - upper triangular plus first sub-diagonal Special properties of Hessenberg matrix make it easier to find Q, R, and eigenvalues QR Eigenvalue Method
24 QR Factorization Construction of QR Factorization
25 QR Factorization Use Householder reflections and given rotations to reduce certain elements of a vector to zero. Use QR factorization that preserve the eigenvalues. The eigenvalues of the transformed matrix are much easier to obtain.
26 Jordan Canonical Form Any square matrix is orthogonally similar to a triangular matrix with the eigenvalues on the diagonal
27 Similarity Transformation Transformation of the matrix A of the form H -1 AH is known as similarity transformation. A real matrix Q is orthogonal if Q T Q = I. If Q is orthogonal, then A and Q -1 AQ are said to be orthogonally similar The eigenvalues are preserved under the similarity transformation.
28 Upper Triangular Matrix The diagonal elements R ii of the upper triangular matrix R are the eigenvalues
29 Householder Reflector Householder reflector is a matrix of the form It is straightforward to verify that Q is symmetric and orthogonal
30 Householder Matrix Householder matrix reduces z k+1,…,z n to zero To achieve the above operation, v must be a linear combination of x and e k
31 Householder Transformation
32 Householder matrix Corollary (k th Householder matrix): Let A be an nxn matrix and x any vector. If k is an integer with 1< k<n-1 we can construct a vector w (k) and matrix H (k) = I - 2w (k) w' (k) so that
33 Householder matrix Define the value  so that The vector w is found by Choose  = sign(x k )g to reduce round-off error
34 Householder Matrices
35 Example: Householder Matrix
36
37 Basic QR Factorization [A] = [Q] [R] [Q] is orthogonal, Q T Q = I [R] is upper triangular QR factorization using Householder matrices Q = H (1) H (2) ….H (n-1)
38 Example: QR Factorization
39 Similarity transformation B = Q T AQ preserve the eigenvalues QR Factorization QR = A
40 Finding Eigenvalues Using QR Factorization Generate a sequence A (m) that are orthogonally similar to A Use Householder transformation H -1 AH the iterates converge to an upper triangular matrix with the eigenvalues on the diagonal Find all eigenvalues simultaneously!
41 QR Eigenvalue Method QR factorization: A = QR Similarity transformation: A (new) = RQ

How To Win Converts
British Go Journal No. 10. December 1969. Page 4.
Francis Roads
One of the objects of the British Go Association is to spread the knowledge of the game to as many people as possible. Anyone who has tried, as I have, to start a local Go club knows that the best way of getting new members is by personal contact. I have been lucky in having had the opportunity of teaching the game of Go to scores and possibly hundreds of beginners, and I thought it might be useful to pass on some of my experience in winning converts to the game.
It is well known that groups such as science students, computer programmers, schoolmasters and chess-players often provide potential converts, but one can find interest in the game in surprising places - Young Conservatives, Scout groups and even the Townswomens Guild have been known to show interest - and therefore whenever I find myself in the company of new acquaintances, whoever they are, I always try to mention my interest in Go as soon as the conversation allows it. Usually someone will show interest, even if only of the polite variety, and the next step is to manoeuvre that person into asking me how the game is played. The battle is then half-won.
Two points always need to be made clear before even setting out the board and stones: first, that you are not about to explain either Messrs. Waddingtons trivial game or Go-Bang (properly Go-Moku); and second, that, although Go can be a very intellectual game, the basic rules are quick to learn, and that the game can be enjoyed at a very elementary level.
For the purpose of teaching beginners I have made some small quarter-boards (10 x 10) ruled on cardboard. Coloured counters, which cost about 5/- [25p] a gross, serve as stones - red and green or blue and yellow replacing black and white. These sets are very cheap, easily portable when you want to play a number of beginners at once, and also show the beginner how easily he can make his own board.
The generate maximum interest in the game it is usually best to get the beginner actually playing the game as soon as possible, and to cut the introductory explanation down to a minimum; I usually explain first the following six points in order.
 1. How moves are made.
 2. How stones connect to form armies (emphasising that diagonally adjacent stones are not connected.
 3. The object of the game, showing how armies can surround territory with or without the help of the edge of the board.
 4. The definition of liberties, and how stones and armies are captured (mentioning the need for internal surrounding).
 5. How the game ends, from the theoretical paint of view (i.e. when both players pass in succession).
 6. The two prohibitive rules of Go, i.e. the no-suicide rule and the rule of ko. Only the bare mechanics of these rules need be explained.
The above is enough to enable the beginner to play his first game of Go. Note that it is not necessary to explain about the safety of two-eyed armies ; this after all, is an elementary tactical principle and not a rule. And of course such relative niceties as ko-fights, seki, snap-back, etc. can easily be left out until later - they are not likely to occur in a players first couple of games.
Even with a four-stone handicap on a quarter-board, the beginner almost always ends his first few games by losing all his stones. There is no point in discouraging him by pointing out all his bad moves - better by far to point out a few good ones, even If he doesnt see why they are good. If he has lost a lot of stones in his first games, he will be in a receptive frame of mind for hearing about an infallible way of making his armies invulnerable. This is also a good time to point out the futility of playing stones inside territory securely held by the opponent, explaining exactly why it gains nothing.
By now you will have formed an opinion of your pupils aptitude for the game, and you will be able to judge whether to introduce further elementary points such as connection and disconnection or the use of the third and fourth lines from the edge, or whether to allow him to practise and assimilate what he has learnt so far. At whatever speed he learns the game, it is necessary to give plenty of practice at all stages by playing games that for you will inevitably be rather boring (though even against beginners there are opportunities for practicing and improving ones technique). You always need to try to find as much to praise as to blame in his play, and to remember that what seems blatantly obvious to the experienced player is not so to the beginner.
One should never leave a new convert without extracting a promise to play the game again, preferably with oneself or with a local Go club, nor without giving him the address of the Association and reminding him to send a stamped addressed envelope when writing for details. Its always a good idea to show a few copies of the Go Review and the British Go Journal - he wont understand much of it, of course, but it will help to show him how seriously the game is taken, If possible, beginners should always be left with some literature to read for themselves. The Associations introductory leaflet is very useful for this purpose.
As I remarked at the beginning, personal contact is better than any means of advertising as a way of converting new Go-players. Teaching beginners is not as exciting as playing someone your own strength, but if every Go-player would make it his business to introduce at least some new players to the game each year, it would do more than anything else to ensure the continued growth and success of our Association.

Permeable formwork serves as a filter that allows excess water and trapped air to escape from concrete surface. During compaction by vibrators, the fluid movement through permeable formwork drives out air and water, leaving behind a denser and stronger concrete. The movement of water results in a decrease in water in fresh concrete and fines cement particles from interior concrete shall be carried towards the formwork. Hence, it lowers the water cement ratio at concrete surface and enhances a higher strength near concrete surface.
In traditional formwork, during concrete compaction process the vibration tends to force water to the surface of concrete mass owing to the rearrangement of solid particles in concrete. As such, the concrete in concrete/formwork interface possess more water than the interior concrete. Consequently, the higher water cement ratio at concrete surface would lower the surface strength. Permeable formwork functions and solves this problem by allowing excess water to pass through.

Wombats are protected and relocating one is illegal. A relocated wombat will most likely be killed by predators or other wombats protecting their territory.
Wombats are highly territorial so if you do remove one, another will soon move into its burrow. If you destroy a burrow, the wombat will build a new one, possibly in a more problematic location. Burrows are up to 30 metres long.
There are several things you can do to deter wombat damage without removing the animal.
Damage to fencing
Wombats follow set trails to preferred feeding areas. Instead of going around an obstacle, such as a fence, they will bulldoze their way through. Avoid damage by installing 'wombat swing gates' at breech points. They quickly learn to use these. Alternatively, remove the lowest fencing wire (15 centimetres above ground level) to allow them pass underneath.
Burrows that are a livestock hazard
Mark burrows in paddocks or driveways with a post or small strand fence to keep stock away from the burrow entrances.
Protecting your garden
Wombats rarely eat garden plants and crops, preferring native grasses but they are inquisitive. They can easily be deterred by applying chicken manure to the garden.
Burrows under a building
To stop wombats using a burrow under a building, erect a one-way sturdy door that allows the animal to leave but not return. Bury steel mesh around the entrance to prevent the wombat digging underneath the door. Alternatively, use two electric wires at 15 and 30 centimetres above ground level to prevent access to an area.
Learn more about wombats
There are two wombat species in NSW - the common wombat and the endangered southern hairy-nosed wombat. The northern hairy-nosed wombat is presumed extinct in NSW.
Tip: Keep your dogs away from wombats as they can kill a dog.

Old Apostolic Church Exposed
The following article was written by Dean Ministries.
One church that is fairly popular in South Africa is the Old Apostolic Church (OAC). My father-in-law used to belong to it and I've known people who are practising members. On the outside it appears Christian enough, but one should never go by the feeling in life! Once I was told by a follower: "I'm Old Apostolic, and no we are not a cult!" without my ever having mentioned the c-word. So let us look at what the church is about, and see why, in my view, they most definitely are!
First though, I will explain their origins, hierarchy and initial values. I'll do my best to make it as simple as possible; you will see how this is a church born out of disagreement and still plagued by schisms (splits).
Church Origins
The OAC has its roots in the Catholic Apostolic Church (formed around 1831, but after its last "apostle" died in 1901 it went into decline) which followed the Nicene Creed of 325AD (Catholic) and, like the OAC, is not an offshoot of the Reformation (or, Protestantism) but of Irvingism.
There was such a movement too in Europe; notably Germany and The Netherlands. After 3 Catholic Apostolic "apostles" died in 1855, the apostolate declared there was no reason to call new ones. They called 2 substitutes (coadjutors) in 1860. But in 1862 another "apostle" was called in Germany by the "prophet" Heinrich Geyer. The "apostles" did not agree with this, so the largest part of the Hamburg congregation, along with their Bishop F.W. Schwartz, were excommunicated. From this came the Allgemeine Christliche Apostolische Mission (ACAM) in 1863. In The Netherlands it led to the Apostolische Zending, later called Hersteld Apostolische Zendingkerk(HAZK). This later became the New Apostolic Church.
In 1899, Carl George Klibbe came to South Africa to do mission work for the New Apostolic Church. He was ordained by "apostle" H.F. Niemeyer of Australia as an apostle. Due to the personality cult (when someone uses propaganda to elevate themselves) of "chief apostle" Hermann Niehaus, Niemeyer separated himself from the German branch and formed the Apostolic Church of Queensland. The South African branch also separated from the German branch, and henceforth became the New Apostolic Church (NAC). The reasons they did this:
1) Niehaus' ban on prophetic gifts (visions, dreams and prophecies),
2) Niehaus' refusal to appoint Prophets,
3) Niehaus' acceptance of the literal interpretation of the Bible,
4) establishment of the office of Chief Apostle, and
5) personality cult that formed around the Chief Apostle.
Hermann Niehaus tride to remove Carl George Klibbe and appointed Wilhelm Schlaphoff as "apostle" instead. Klibbe was excommunicated in 1913. So, for a while there were two NACs in South Africa. Eventually they came to an agreement in 1926. Carl Klibbe's church would be called Old Apostolic Church (OAC), Schlaphoff's would become the New Apostolic Church (NAC). Today the OAC has around 2 million followers in Africa (South Africa, Swaziland, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi) and 30,000 in Europe; branches are in USA, Canada, UK, The Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates.
Their Structure
The OAC's leadership is a body called the Conference of apostles. It consists of all active and retired "apostles", led by a chairman who is appointed for a term of two years; he may only serve two terms.
The OAC is divided into nine districts covering Southern Africa and Germany. Each district is run by the District Office, where the "apostles" work from. Each "apostle" has an Apostleship which includes a few Overseerships. Such an Overseership is led by an Overseer, Evangelist and Prophet. It is divided into many Elderships.
An Eldership will cover one or many congregations and has many Priests and Underdeacons. The Priest is responsible for the spiritual welfare of the followers, and assisted by the Underdeacon who does Bible study and testimony.
Ministers are appointed and ordained by an "apostle" by having hands laid on them. They get no theological training; but they believe that by breaking bread within the church, they will get all their doctrine and scriptures from that. While I do not believe that a church minister "needs" a theology degree, and I have known people who have a degree but still lack simple knowledge, surely a person, who is responsible for the development and growth of a congregation, should at least have some understanding? Understanding is something the Bible holds paramount! If only it were so easy to just break bread and instantly get all the knowledge you needed!
What are their Values?
The OAC rejects ecumenism, or the compromise of the Word of God with other churches. Now, this is a good thing – many Protestant churches are compromising the Word to appease the wicked world, or even to create unity with the Roman Catholic Church. However, the followers are taught that the OAC is the only true church – this is where it gets tricky. Officially they will say that they do not consider believers to be unsaved if they are outside of the OAC; but at the same time, "it is the only true church", so by implication alone it does just that. Just to re-iterate who can be saved:
Note how the verse says "whosoever" – an old word meaning "whoever".Anybody who calls upon the name of Jesus shall be saved. If the OAC or any other church were the "only true church" and salvation were only within it, the Bible would say this. But it does not! Also worth noting is that clergy and followers are often hostile towards other churches and ministers. They believe that only the members of the OAC will go to heaven (Catechism Question 2 & 3).
As for politics, followers of the OAC are forbidden from partaking in politics. They are allowed to vote (because forbidding them would violate the law), but they are not allowed to join a political party or stand for election. This is similar to Jehovah's Witness teaching. There were two further schisms (separations) in 1972 and 1968, leading to the Reformed Old Apostolic Church and Twelve Apostles Church of South Africa, simply because some people wanted to get involved in politics.
The Old Apostolic Church's view on non-participation in politics has led to two schisms. In 1972 several coloured members formed the Reformed Old Apostolic Church, and in 1968 several black members formed the Twelve Apostles Church of Africa.
Regarding Bible Versions, the OAC only uses the KJV in English (I agree with that!); or Afrikaans 1933/53, or the German 1912 version of the Luther Bible. The early OAC used the Dutch Statenbijbel until 1933, when the first Afrikaans Bible translation came out.
What do they believe?
Enter the cult status! The core difference between the OAC and other churches is that it reads the Bible "spiritually", rather than literally. In other words, you as a believer cannot simply buy a Bible and start reading it. You see, every word that is written in the Bible is inspired by God, and for them this means it is deemed too holy to be read in the normal way. So whatever is written in the Bible, there has to be a hidden "spiritual" meaning for every word.
Let me give you an example of a follower's problem that I was faced with:
What you just read now is the part of Genesis 1, which describes the creation on the fourth day. If you simply read it as it is written, it is clear that on the Fourth Day, God created light; the sun and the moon.
So what did the OAC follower in question believe it said? Well, that on the Fourth Day, God created good and evil, because good is symbolised as light and evil is symbolised as darkness. Problems:
1) This assumes that what the Bible says is different from what it actually means;
2) Putting the presence of evil on the Fourth Day, when God said after the six-day creation that everything was "very good", that would make God a liar;
3) There was no death until Adam sinned. By evil, death came into the world. So if evil is present on the Fourth Day, this will lead to death before sin (just like the Gap Theory) and this is heresy.
4) How would that follower possibly understand the creation account by looking for hidden meanings?
To show further how reading the Bible "spiritually" is not only wrong, but in some cases impossible, here is an exercise. Try to interpret the following verses in any way you wish


docker jupyter-image="omnivector/jupyter-spark-hadoop-base:0.0.1"
Packaging Jupyter in this way allows for robust and dynamic data development workflows due to the charm acting as an ops shim to provide the docker image on demand where ever, when ever. Developers and/or build systems can add custom deps on top of a base Jupyter image and maintain custom images using this same charm to consume them. In this way, we can run Jupyter driven Spark workloads from a docker image deployed via Juju. The only drawback here is that since the Jupyter/Spark run in the container on a host, it makes running anything other than "cluster" or "local" type Spark workloads slightly difficult due to the networking constraints. That said, this is a great tool for Spark application development.
A little background
 - Spark's architecture consists of executor processes and driver processes that work together to run a job, meaning they need to communicate with each other over the network to accomplish the work.
 - Spark can run in two primary configurations, independent of the backend; "cluster" or "client".
 - In "cluster" configurations you can run a remote spark driver process that is dynamically deployed alongside the executor processes (keep in mind all of this is separate from where you execute the code, the jupyter notebook).
 - In "client" mode, the Spark driver needs to run where you execute the spark-submit from (in this case the Jupyter notebook docker image) and must be reachable/routable from where the Spark executors are running (eg the backend; k8s, mesos, yarn, spark-standalone).
 - Most client mode Spark configurations execute the code on the same substrate that the executors run (this makes sense, so then the executors can talk to the driver as the driver runs where you execute the code).
All said and done, this simple solution makes a lot of sense for many Jupyter/Spark development use cases.
Kubernetes
The general workflow for how I am using Jupyter + Spark + Hadoop + Ceph on k8s via Juju:
 1. juju bootstrap k8s
 2. juju add-model jupyter-k8s-testing
 3. juju deploy cs:~omnivector/jupyter-k8s
 4. juju config jupyter-k8s juju-external-hostname=somehostnametomakejujuhappy.com
 5. juju expose jupyter-k8s
 At this point you should have a docker image running jupyter in k8s accessible via the loadbalancer fqdn.
 6. Access the elb fqdn in your browser to pull up the jupyter notebook web ui.
 7. Execute the notebook cells to run the spark-pi example on the container (local) and on the cluster (k8s) respectively.
The primary takeaway from the above (hard to read) screen shot is the bit that sets values into the spark config to configure the k8s backend:
conf = SparkConf()\
 .setAppName('JUPYTER_PI_SPARK_TEST')\
 .setMaster('k8s://https://{}:{}'.format(os.environ['KUBERNETES_PORT_443_TCP_ADDR'],
 os.environ['KUBERNETES_PORT_443_TCP_PORT']))\
 .set('spark.kubernetes.container.image', 'omnivector/spark-3.0.0-dev-hadoop-2.7.3-conda-base:0.0.1')\
 .set('spark.kubernetes.namespace', os.environ['JUJU_KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE'])\
 .set('spark.executor.instances', 5)
A takeaway from the above is that you need the same deps in the same place underneath the jupyter notebook as need to exist on the executors. Notice the value of 'spark.kubernetes.container.image' (the config that defines the image that the executors run in), it is the same image that the jupyter notebook image is built on.
The building of the jupyter notebook image from the image that your executors run is a really simple way of using the build system to organically facilitate the requirements of the workload. This is the largest come up of all in the packaging Jupyter/Spark applications; the ability to have the notebook or driver image built from the same base image as the executors.
The layer-jupyter-k8s applies a role to grant the Jupyter/Spark container the permission needed to provision other containers (Spark workloads) on the cluster. This allows a user to login to the jupyter web ui and provision Spark workloads on demand on the k8s cluster via running cells in the notebook.
A few high level takeaways on why this is good:
 1. Multi-tenant - Many developers can execute against the k8s cluster simultaneously.
 2. Dockerized deps - Package your data dependencies as docker containers (this works really well when you need to lock in hadoop, spark, conda, private dep abc, to versions for different workloads).
 3. Development workflow - Run workloads on different dependencies with out having to re-provision the cluster.
 4. Ops simplification - Spark driver and executor pods can be built from the same image.
Why not so good:
 - Untracked resources - Spark workloads provisioned on k8s via Spark drivers are not tracked by Juju.
 - Ceph + K8S, instead of a Hadoop distribution - It takes far more mature infrastructure to run Ceph + K8S correctly than it does to run Hadoop/HDFS. This comes down to the fact that you can run a 100 node Hadoop/HDFS installation on an L2 10G network by clicking your way through the CDH gui. For Ceph + K8S to work correctly, you need to implement an L3 or L2/L3 hybrid network topology that facilitates multi-pathing and scaling links in a pragmatic way, you can't just use L2, 10G if you want to do Spark on K8S + Ceph past a few nodes.
Conclusion
Which Spark backend and deployment type is right for you, and how where do you run it?
This should be defined by your use case.
Hopefully this write up can provide a light into the snags I've hit, and how I got around them to where I am now. Also as a stepping stone for others walking in this direction.
Thanks!

Introduce P2P speed and flexibility into your file backup and synchronization jobs
What is GoodSync?
GoodSync is a well-known backup and folder synchronization tool that is built on a standard client-server architecture. It does a solid job of transferring data and synchronizing files between two computers. GoodSync, and programs similar to GoodSync, handles two major job types: file synchronization and backup. The synchronization job makes sure a folder between two machines stays in sync, and all changes are propagated between them. The backup job is used to copy changes in a folder from one machine to another. The enterprise version of GoodSync has a central server to remotely configure and monitor jobs inside the enterprise.
GoodSync, and similar sync software, are based on the old approach of client/server, where data transfer happens between two machines. We've covered the issues enterprises can run into with the client-server approach in a previous post: What's the difference between peer to peer and client server? But let's recap some of them here in our GoodSync comparison as well as explain what makes Resilio Connect an ideal GoodSync alternative .
P2P (Peer to Peer): GoodSync vs Resilio Connect
There are several differences between Resilio Connect and GoodSync, but the major one is peer-to-peer vs. client-server. A GoodSync job, and many GoodSync alternatives, are is limited to only 2 computers, and if you need more computers synced, management becomes complex. In contrast to this Goodsync limitation, Resilio Connect file transfer and synchronization jobs can include any amount of computers in a single job. With Connect you can synchronize 5 servers, backup data to several servers at the same time, or send updated files to as many computers as you need, from several servers.
When comparing GoodSync vs. Resilio, it's important to know that Resilio Connect detects file changes that need to be propagated within a job and then splits file changes into blocks that travel independently between computers. This approach makes sure that all computers get the data as fast as possible, allowing Connect to deliver the fastest file transfer speeds of any file sync and share platform, even outperforming GoodSync, rsync or any other tool. This happens because additional computers participate in the data transfer, distributing the load from a single computer to several. You can see how much faster P2P is by trying our file transfer speed calculator. The speed and efficiency created by utilizing a P2P file transfer protocol helps to make Resilio Connect the best file sync and share software on the market for companies that work with large data sets.
GoodSync TCP/IP protocol vs Resilio Connect uTP protocol
GoodSync's file synchronization platform uses the TCP/IP protocol as the underlying data transfer media for file synchronization and backup. TCP/IP is a safe choice when you need fast and reliable data transfer between two computers. However, when considering programs similar to Goodsync, it's important to understand that the GoodSync file sync protocol faces the following issues:
- NAT traversal can be an issue for GoodSync. If your computer is placed behind NAT (usually it is WiFi, ADSL or Firewall) then the TCP/IP needs port forwarding to establish a direct connection between machines. Connect uses uTP and uTP2 protocols that are based on UDP so it can bypass NAT without the need for additional configuration.
- GoodSync can experience slow speeds over long connections (WAN networks). If two computers are placed far away (usually 2,000 miles apart or more) the packet latency becomes high and the TCP/IP protocol reduces data transfer speed. For long distances, the probability of packet loss becomes higher and this reduces TCP/IP speed even further. GoodSync, and alternatives, don't have a solution for that and requires additional WAN optimized hardware or software to deal with packet latency and packet loss. Resilio Connect file sync software uses a WAN-optimized UDP based protocol – uTP2. This protocol uses bulk based packet transfer with selective acknowledgments and will make sure that you can achieve the fast file transfer speeds that your network allows for.
- GoodSync can synchronize and backup between two computers within a local network only without additional configuration. Using a similar program to GoodSync like Connect, without these issues, provides the ability to synchronize, backup or transfer files quickly between any number of computers across the globe without the need for any additional configuration.
Smarter Data Routing with Resilio Connect
GoodSync is further limited by its use of direct IP addresses of computers to set up connections. It can discover other machines within a LAN using broadcast. Our GoodSync alternative, Resilio Connect, uses a smarter approach that is a combination of multicast and tracker server. The client registers on the tracker server and the tracker server announces the IP addresses of the other machines to all computers within a job. This way you can avoid job changes if machine IP addresses are changed and can set up a direct connection between machines over the Internet without any configuration.
Reduced File Synchronization and Backup Times
When a file is changed on one machine, Connect will then transfer the minimum amount of data over the network. This approach can significantly reduces the time for synchronizing or backing up files. GoodSync uses block-based data deduplication. Using a block-based data deduplication approach is good but it doesn't cover all scenarios. For example, when using GoodSync, if data is added to the beginning of a file – this approach doesn't work. As soon as you add one bit to the beginning of the file, all consecutive blocks will be changed, due to a shift of the data. The fixed block-based algorithms will detect that all blocks are changed and need to be re-transmitted. Connect uses similar delta encoding algorithms to rsync which minimizes data for synchronization in all cases. This algorithm can detect shifted data and detect that only the first block is changed, while other are shifted – from the example above.
Resilio Connect's sync software offers data compression on the fly. While there is a debate whether this is necessary in the modern world, we wanted to give our users the flexibility to synchronize files faster in all cases. With Resilio Connect both deduplication and compression are applied on the fly to any changed files. There is no need for any additional operations from a user perspective. Your files are just transferred faster when syncing.
API Accessibility: Command Line Interface vs. RESTful API
GoodSync uses command line (CLI) approach to control operations. While Resilio Connect uses full blown RESTful based API that allows you to control, monitor your data transfer jobs remotely and develop any needed integration inside your business process.
GoodSync vs Resilio Connect: Enterprise Features
We considered conceptual differences between GoodSync and Resilio Connect. Of course, Resilio Connect has all the other important enterprise features like: encryption of data transfer, scheduler, bandwidth scheduler, AD/LDAP integration and more.

Abstract
Understanding the state of your infrastructure and systems is essential for ensuring the reliability and stability of services. Best way to gain this insight is with a robust dashboard that visualizes data and stable alert rules which alerts when things appear to be broken.
Configuring and modifying dashboards and alerts by hand are error-prone. Versioning dashboards and alerts using "Infrastructure as code" are extremely useful in a fast-paced environment.
Outline
How to make use of the world's top technology to build your Dashboards with more robustness without tech debt.
Why dashboards?
Existing methods of maintaining dashboards.
 - At current scale of using dashbaords and alerts, difficult to scale without proper automation.
 - Consistency issues
 - Dashboards can be easily edited by any layman resulting in consistency issues.
 - Alerts disbaled during maintenance/deployment leading to undetected incidents.
 - Automate challenges
 - 90% of the dashboards are still being created/modified by clicking on the UI.
 - Manual configuration can lead to errors.
 - No history.
 - No rollbacks possible during an unintended modification.
Solution 1: Git
 - Will solve Consistency issues and maintains history.
 - It still cannot validate the huge json files, manual review is required.
 - Automation of stored json files to dashboards are still not solved.
Solution 2: Git + Terraform
 - Terraform providers/plugins. - Automating dashboards using terrafrom providers.
 - Manage state, conflicts, support validation, rollback, everything with zero tech debt.
 - Add value to your skills.

 Thank you for the proposal, Sanooj. Couple of questions:
 1. The abstract has been written in third person. Will you be sharing a personal case study or have you abstracted the details based on some experiences and will be presenting them as abstracted knowledge?
 2. The above abstract seems to have two-three points it is trying to make:
 - Why build dashboards?
 - How to build dashboards without technical debt.
 - Building dashboards as code with Terraform.
 You have to choose between one of these pitches to make the talk more focussed.
 Rootconf participants are typically interested in listening to a war story or a use case. Personalize this talk to help participants to understand:
 1. What is the problem that you were trying to solve which led you to the current approach and tooling?
 2. Why did you zero in on this approach and on Terraform? What options did you consider for solving this problem? How did you compare the solutions and narrow down on this approach? Explain the decision-making journey.
 3. Why Terraform? Are there similar options that participants can consider? Is there a learning curve/cost/resources issue with Terraform which participants should be aware of?
 4. Explain your solution and architecture in detail.
 5. How did your team adapt to this solution? What has been the impact of this solution on the metrics and challenges that you have outlined?
 6. What was the situation before you developed this solution? Explain both before and after scenarios.
 You can either respond to the comments by:
 1. Editing your proposal to incorporate the above.
 2. OR, create and upload draft slides to detail the decision-making and outcome journey.
 3. OR, respond to comments here.

 Hi Zainab,
 Thanks for reviewing. Please find my answers inline.
 1. The abstract has been written in third person. Will you be sharing a personal case study or have you abstracted the details based on some experiences and will be presenting them as abstracted knowledge?
 I will be sharing my experience on how we were using dashboards and when moved to a bigger scale, what bottle necks we have found. What other options we have tried and why we ended up using terraform. Yes, this my experience.
 2. The above abstract seems to have two-three points it is trying to make:
 - Why build dashboards?
 Just a two line intro of why dashboards.
 - How to build dashboards without technical debt.
 This is an outcome of dashboards as code with terraform. There are multiple ways of building a dashboard. Manually through UI, Automate it using some script, etc. Manual method have lots of challenges like, human error, unable to scale etc.To avoid that, we can write our own custom scripts but, maintaining a custom script have its own challenges, moreover, all the script will be doing is either to create a json form of the dashboard or to store a huge json formated file. These are huge json files and unable to review/identify any mistakes.
 - Building dashboards as code with Terraform.
 Terrafrom plugins are avaialable for almost all dashboard vendors, let is be kibana, grafana, wavefrom, signalform etc. We dont have to reinvent. Moreover, terraform syntax is familiar/easy to learn/worth learning(Its the 2nd top tech skill in 2018 and 2019).
 You have to choose between one of these pitches to make the talk more focussed.
 Rootconf participants are typically interested in listening to a war story or a use case. Personalize this talk to help participants to understand:
 What is the problem that you were trying to solve which led you to the current approach and tooling?
 Consistency in dashbaords. Dashbaords/alerts configuration has become very easy that even an non-expert can go an edit/modify it through the UI. This has led to lots of consistency issues.
 - The dashboard that you have configured today might not be in the same shape tomorrow.
 - Alerts disbaled during maintenance/deployment leading to undetected incidents. There is no way to track these modifications and reert it to the recent stable state.
 - Initially we started with backup of the json files behind the dashboard. But it just helped us to recover in case of any issue with/without the recent changes.
 Automation at scale. Moving to a bigger scale, backup and restore also became challenging. Also the manual creation of dashboards and alerts through UI. We started to write our own custom scripts. And finally a python client which will interact with the dashboard API, which allows us to query and create resources like dashboards and alerts.
 - This worked well for simple dashboards Or dashboards where we have a created templates.
 - However, for custom dashboards with multiple rows and each rows with different number of cloumn, it was unusable. We had to create new code for each of such dashboards which brought us back to zero, now we have to maintain dashboard and its code.
 - Validation: Validating/Reviewing PR's with huge json files was nearly impossible.
 Rollback: No history of previous state of the dashbaord.
 - With automation using custom scripts under git, we acheive it to an extend.
 Why did you zero in on this approach and on Terraform? What options did you consider for solving this problem? How did you compare the solutions and narrow down on this approach? Explain the decision-making journey.
 As mentioned above, we tried different solu
 Why Terraform? Are there similar options that participants can consider? Is there a learning curve/cost/resources issue with Terraform which participants should be aware of?
 All dashboard vendors supports REST API. Writing your own modules have its own chanllenges as discussed above.
 Grafana have an python module called grafanalib.
 Validation: Validation was inbuild in terraform. The declarative method of terraform helped us in validations.
 No more JSON: Instead of long json files, we jsut need to concentrate on terrafrom code.
 Introducing innner loop, dynamic blocks and complex type in Terrafrom12 and made it even easier to manage dashbaords.
 Terrafrom mainatains the state of the dashboard. And terrafrom decides whether to create, update, read or delete a resource based on the terrafrom script.
 Were able to easily handle different environment (test,prod) with terrafrom workspace.
 Explain your solution and architecture in detail.
 Will provide you alsong with the slides which i am preparing.
 How did your team adapt to this solution? What has been the impact of this solution on the metrics and challenges that you have outlined?
 Most of us were already comfortable with Terrafrom as we use it in our day to day work. Those who don't were abel to adapt easily since terraform is really easy to learn and its worth learning(Its the 2nd top tech skill in 2018 and 2019).
 Creating dashbaord just become easier, intresting and a value add.
 What was the situation before you developed this solution? Explain both before and after scenarios.
 All the above plus, With new automation we were able to add remove new components dynamically. We even have terrafrom running in a serverless up


[Oberon] Why is RSC string data word-aligned?
Jörg joerg.straube at iaeth.ch
Sun Jan 31 10:11:46 CET 2021
I thought Colby does agree that strings have to be word-aligned a) IN MEMORY, because of 4 times faster string assignment (s := "Hi there";) and 4 times faster string parameter passing to procedures. (Out.String("Hi there");) see ORG.CopyString.
Word-alignment is not needed for string comparison (IF s = „"Hi there" THEN) see ORG.StringRelation.
I understood he wondered why the strings are word-aligned b) IN RSC FILES too because the loader could do it while reading.
Colby, do I summarize your request correctly?
If so, let me explain what would have to be done to make strings NOT word-aligned in rsc files.
First, lets remember that a module has a compile time TC and later on the load time TL.
It's not enough to have the word-alignment at TL only. As the compiler generates code for fast string assignments, the compiler needs to know the word-aligned offset of a string at TC already. Therefore, the variable „strx" keeping track of the string offset in ORG is always word-aligned (see ORG.MakeStringItem)
Principally, Colby is right, we could now decide to break the rule of word-alignment between TC and TL. That can be done as follows:
- the compiler optimizes the file IO (and hence the file size but not necessarily the CPU cycles) at TC by writing the string buffer without consecutive 0X.
- the loader could re-word-align the string buffer at TL.
Could be done but I doubt 1) that the code is easier to read, 2) the file IO gain is noticeable 3) it's worth the effort.

The code generated by ORG.CopyString moves string data around by words, filling the full 32-bits of a register buffer with string data on each loop iteration. This may happen many times over and over again as code is running, once a module is loaded into memory.

But module loading only happens once, and there's lots of other stuff to do too, so as you say it was likely deemed not worth it.

How will AR affect music production in the future?
However, a more interesting question to ask is:
What features in current music production software would benefit most from AR and VR?
Looking at most music production software, we see lots of 2-dimensional representations of the 3-dimensional properties of sound.
Looking at standard EQ interfaces, we can see that different frequencies "overlap" with eachother, making it pretty cumbersome to get a full understanding of the separations of frequencies within sound waves.
My first idea was to simply take these EQ curves and expand them into 3D, allowing users to "look around" different frequencies.
I took this a step further and thought about how we could bring AR interactions into MIDI rolls and automation. Here is a sketch
Off to After Effects!
I created some basic assets in illustrator and created a short demo of how an interface like this could be interacted with in the near future. Pretty cool I think.
For the future:
Soon, I'll be creating an entire system of gesture based music production. Here are some sketches where I explore transitions between sitting and standing contexts, and how simple controls (for example, volume for a track) go from being controlled by the hand to being controlled by the entire body.

Activation spectra of wood under natural irradiation were investigated in detail in this work. The main purpose was to study colour changes on the wood surface over time and into the depth during natural light exposure and thus to further contribute to the optimization of surface-protecting treatments. In a natural weathering test, three 80-lm-thick strips of fir wood forming the surface layer of a wood composite were exposed to light under a series of glass cut-off filters. Samples were withdrawn at intervals and tested for colour changes. Identification of the most detrimental wavebands of light causing photodegradation was performed based on recorded colour changes. With chronological development of exposure, the colour changes shifted ever deeper into the surface and further into the visible region of the spectrum. A relatively narrow waveband from 360 to 435 nm was identified in the activation spectra to be the most active band, causing the greatest proportion of recorded colour changes. However, also visible light of wavelengths up to 515 nm significantly contributed to colour changes of the surface layers.
The biotechnological application of the white rot fungus Physisporinus vitreus named ''bioincising'' is currently being investigated for permeability improvement of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) wood. During short-term (-9 weeks) incubation, fungal activity induces degradation of pit membranes and a simultaneous alteration of the tracheid cell wall structure. In Part 1 of this article series, the occurrence of selective delignification and simultaneous degradation was shown by UV-microspectrophotometry (UMSP). Moreover, significant reduction of Brinell hardness was recorded after 7 and 9 weeks incubation. For a better understanding of the chemical alterations in the wood constituents and the corresponding changes of mechanical properties due to fungal activity, we applied microtensile tests on thin strips that were prepared from the surface of incubated Norway spruce wood. Indications for the occurrence of selective delignification and simultaneous degradation were evident. Determination of lignin content and carbohydrate analysis by borate anion exchange chromatography confirmed the results. The present study verifies the findings from Part 1 of this article series and from previously conducted microscopic investigations. Now, the degradation characteristics of P. vitreus are established and the bioincising process can be further optimized with higher reliability.
This paper presents the effects of properties of tested material and exposure conditions on the fi nal result of testing. These include density, uniformity of ring width, number of rings and latewood portions, as well as light source, presence of water and duration of exposure. Infl uences of these parameters in testing of several softwood species after exposure to different natural and artifi cial photodegradation regimes were monitored by means of changes in microtensile properties. The main fi ndings indicate that comparisons between various species should be made taking into account average material properties, predominantly latewood portion. The fact that strength loss changes follow the same pattern during different exposure conditions indicates that there is no difference in the nature of degradation process in various weathering machines. This forms a basis for the sound comparison between the artifi cial and natural weathering regimes.
In this study, beech wood (Fagus silvatica L.) has been chemically modified with citric acid (Acidum citricum) and sodium hypophosphate (SHP) as the catalyst and gradually thermo-condensed in the dryer. Afterwards, wetting angle, surface energy, and shear strength of glued joints of modified and unmodified wood were determined. Testing of the bond strength according to standard EN 204 and comparison between modified and unmodified samples were executed. The adhesive used for bonding samples was polyvinyl acetate (PVAC), commonly used for gluing solid wood panels. Testing material was divided into three groups (dry, wet, and wet conditioned samples), within which statistical analysis was performed, and the significance of the differences between the modified and unmodified samples was determined. Surface energy is correlated with the bond strength, indicating that modification with citric acid negatively affects the adhesive properties of beech wood. A reduction in the bond strength of modified wood glued with PVAC glue compared to unmodified wood was determined. All the results indicate that the modified samples do not meet the minimum requirements for EN 204 bonded with PVAC glue. Therefore, it will be necessary to conduct further studies using other types of adhesives to investigate whether modified wood might be suitable for gluing.
This paper presents the influence of natural surface ageing in indoor conditions on bonding quality of thermally modified wood used in structural laminated products. Two unmodified and thermally modified wood species were used for the experiment: oak and beech. Samples were planed and glued with MUF adhesive 2 hours, 1, 2, 6, 10, and 18 days after planing. Properties of laminated beech and oak beams, namely shear strength, delamination and contact angle, were measured in order to detect 1) suitability of wood species for lamination process and 2) influence of extended storage time after planing on properties of laminated wood. Generally, both native and thermally modified beech exhibited better results of shear strength and delamination and had lower contact angles compared to oak and thermally modified oak. Results of the delamination test (total delamination) indicate time dependence of surface ageing. Both unmodified and thermally modified beech may be successfully laminated at least up to 2 days after planing, whereas neither oak nor thermally modified oak are suitable for lamination process due to excessive delamination. Results of delamination may be related to contact angle measurements. Shear strength of glue lines did not show any influence on natural surface ageing. However, whereas beech and thermally modified beech samples exhibited almost the same values of the shear strength regardless of the duration of surface ageing, there is an obvious difference in shear strength of oak and thermally modified oak samples.

Summer- Immunity-Radiating Passion-Phase
 In Uncategorized
Summer- Immunity-Radiating Passion-Phase Fire-Like Energy
The summer represents the up and outward movement of life that radiates passion in expansive ways. The Circulation of Healthy Blood is essential to immunity. Have you ever noticed how good you feel when laughter is radiating through you or when inspiring creativity – writing, painting, dancing, sport, music or making love fills your every cell?
Summer- Immunity-Radiating Passion-Phase
Summer- Immunity-Radiating Passion-Phase
This ecstatic experience is essential to the health of our body mind soul. Imagine life without summer?? Many people live without passion and wonder why they become susceptible to dis-ease. AND it is important to regulate this Fire- Like energy lest we burn out.
This movement is the only one that has 4 meridians to manage the potential volatility of the Summer- Passion Radiating, Fire- Like energy.
Heart Regulator/ Pericardium protects the heart like a self -regulating door on a human furnace that monitors the closeness of others- an invisible umbilical cord with a doorway that opens or closes depending on how much fire can safely burn within us. Coincidentally the Pericardium/ Heart Regulator meridian flows into the middle finger that is used by many when the pushing closeness of another has threatened one's safety.
Continuing the metaphor of the furnace, if that door let in too much air, the fire will burn too quickly and chaotically eventually risking energy depletion. When we get to hyperactively heated we tend to ask ourselves why and how this happened. If we find a reasonable answer our possible anxiety is usually mellowed and grounded. This is the work of the small intestine that tempers our moods like the actual organ does when we digest food /fuel.
Heart Regulator-Doorway to passion
Heart-Passion
Small Intestine- Reason,-Why When, How, Where that ground our passion
Triple Heater-E-motional energy circulation
The small intestine ideally assimilates/recombines the proteins, carbohydrates, fats and oils, vitamins and minerals we have eaten creating a balanced fuel source for all our metabolic requirements…Ahhh what a relief our fire is burning Calm Passionately.

Summer- Immunity-Radiating Passion-Phase
The Triple Heater meridian is like the pipes leading from the furnace to circulate our healing passionate fuel to any and all body locations as needed. 1)Upper, 2)Middle 3) Lower Body( the THREE heater areas.)
Summer- Immunity-Radiating Passion-Phase
NOTE:
Heart Regulator/Pericardium
Consider,one of the most fundamental considerations within human existence is SAFE CONTACT with OTHERS.
Direct or indirect methods, conscious or subconscious are used to support this necessary fundamental principle inherent to human relations. Some methods 1) evolve our soul, Some 2) purely maintain survival and some 3) stop short of supporting our full potential as "humans being".
H.R. / Pericardium.= DOORWAY to letting passion into the heart- the 2 way umbilical cord between people
Too open (Yin) = BLIND passion may lead to hangover anxiety, swings
Too closed (Yang) = BLAND passion, creating a superficial, layer of numbness
Heart:
Yin: The ability to receive energy in the heart is displayed in a genuine smile that extends it's power to beams of light glittering through our eyes, the sound of laughter that melts residual cold from memories of days long past and a knowing that all is well, echoing peace through every cell.
Yang: The ability to express one's personal expression of passion.-to share the touch, the sight, the taste the sound and breath of "my" unique soul's message to imitate? or innovate.
Small Intestine:
Yin: The ability to stay open and flexible to why, and how passion pervades using intuition to guide intellect in order to ground the flames of possible chaos- to remember useful past constructs without being limited by them.
Yang: The ability to pass on(to the large intestine) what no longer serves us in understanding the reason for every and anything, that dares to shake our safety. The ability to take response ability now in each moment and share our grounded passion with others.
Triple Heater:
Yin: Instead of being scared of feelings the Triple heater remains open to always using emotional fuel for health and healing. The ability to surrender embrace and circulate or transform the temperature (cold or hot) of passion, joy, ecstasy, bliss or sadness, depression anxiety.
Yang: The intuitive intelligence to know where heat, cold, energy is required for the sustenance of the human body that houses the soul's assignment to evolve one's Destiny.
EXAMPLE: As a child, Jane always loved her father's bedtime stories. She felt safe and so close to her dad. The laughter she spontaneously exuded always soothed her of any daily concerns with friends or family. Daddy always knew how and when to end the story in a way that assured a smile as she drifted off to a well-needed sleep. (Heart Regulator and Heart receiving).
Sometimes schoolmates would say things that felt stressful to Jane. She felt her heart racing, as her shoulders rose and she heard herself silently say "why are they so cruel"? Sometimes she had an impulse to retort with her own cruelty towards them. She then remembered her father's words "take a breath, feel your stress, where is it? The characters in his bedtime stories did this and instead of becoming like the others, these characters always felt peace within and compassion for those whose cruelty was just a misguided cry for closeness (small intestine assimilating, transforming into useful realization). She understood. Jana remained quietly breathing until she felt both centered and calmly energized (triple heater/circulation of e-motional fuel) and sometimes after her friends' comments subsided she would say something like -"You sound really upset, let's go have fun at recess".
Summer- Immunity-Radiating Passion-Phase
Recognizing Challenges that Require Resolution in the Summer Radiating Phase:
1)People who exhibit a majority of the following characteristics are expressing radiating summer passion energy to the point of burn-out: decreased sleep, more energy than usual, inflated self-esteem, increased productivity, sharp and creative thinking, extreme gregariousness, hyper-sexuality, indulgent pleasure-seeking (buying sprees, reckless driving/party- ing), physical restlessness, fidgeting, excess talking, over-optimism, exaggeration of achievements, inappropriate laughing and joking.
2)Another example of an imbalance in summer passion radiating occurs when the desire to share emotionally exceeds one's personal style and reservoir of emotional creativity. Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson and Marilyn Monroe impersonators crave the spotlight, yet their performance is a mere copy of someone else's inspiration. Needing to be " life of the party", name dropping and always having a "better than" story than another person also indicate the heart calling for attention.

Physical traits
3)A harder than regular and Shell-Like rounded mid- to upper back area
Summer- Immunity-Radiating Passion-Phase
4) Red Cheeks with freckles denotes a sensitivity to sugar/sweets in heart and pancreas (nose area above the tip)
Summer- Immunity-Radiating Passion-Phase
5)Expanded/ Bulbous nose tip denotes overly expanded heart
Summer- Immunity-Radiating Passion-Phase
6)Line/crease under/through the tip of nose indicates a tendency for uneven heartbeat rhythm.

7) Difficulty with, or too frequently stretching arms above head is the body's natural way to balance heart and small intestine meridians.
Summer- Immunity-Radiating Passion-Phase
8) Drooping nose tip reveals a secretive nature protecting vulnerability of the heart
9)Speech impediments(heart energy extends into the tongue), as well as any irregularity of color, texture, shape, and appearance of the tongue all, reflect the heart's challenge in ci circulating CHI to the corresponding organs and areas of the tongue.

Summer- Immunity-Radiating Passion-Phase
Red, Yellow or Brown= HOT
Thick White=Too Cold
Upper tongue=Heart, Lungs, Sinuses & Brain
Middle = Stomach, Spleen, Pancreas, Liver, Gallbladder, Small Intestine
Lower= lower Intestines, reproductive, Bladder
Tongue Assessment reveals a vast field of information relating to all body pathways communicating to and from the heart. Tongue assessment is essential when making warming or cooling recommendations that will harmonize the upper, middle, or lower body organs and areas -circulated by the Triple Heater Meridian and powered by the Heart (the fire), Small intestine (the fuel) and introduced through the Heart Regulator/ Pericardium(the doorway)
Radiating Movement: Behavior Recommendations
1) Passion and Joy
: Any activity that instills passion and joy while maintaining an even-burning energy level keeps the heart spirit inspired. Healing laughter is a powerful remedy that inspires the soul.
2) One Step at a Time: Hyperactivity or scattered attention referred to as "Shen" disturbances in Chinese phi.losophy are harmonized by following through on inspirations one step at a time.
3) Rotating hot and cold showers or baths: (ending on cold- which contracts body cells to store/consolidate warmth and circulation) Full body or even foot baths will stimulate blood circulation and exercise the heart.
4) Sweat: The natural heat of infrared sauna conditions the whole cardiovascular system. If available, a Native American sweat lodge that combines heat with prayer and traditional song is usually an

What you wanna do for P3 is to choose the lowest h value person at every step
Yes
For a and b subtask we can write down the whole array everytime as the number of operations we have to do is very less
But for the c subtask , we cant write so many steps so we have to find some pattern here or something
How to do that ?
Thanks a lot!
Sudheera Y S
One lemma you'd wanna use is the number of steps to reduce N equal numbers. Write a couple examples and see how an array of equal numbers reduces. Then use that in part c
Alright
I goit it
So i did that and i found a pattern ,
If there are N copies of x …
To make all of them 0 , we need
x+2 if N <= x
x+1 if N > x
So in the c part , we decrease the value of each and every one by 130 , to make it 0 we need 132 steps and then we are left with minimum number 0 and maximum number 10 so we can make all of them 0 in 10 steps
So the total number of steps is
132 + 10 = 142 and the answer is 145 ?!?
Where am I wrong ?
@imyourayush @druh
Thanks a lot !
What about Q.no 4
Um you don't need to explicitly find a formula. See what happens when you have N equal numbers of value x and wanna reduce them to value x-N+1 etc
Also your formula doesn't seem right. What if x = 0 and N = 14?
First let all children with low H[i] seek until everyone needs an equal number of hide turns. In (b) that was (3,2,2,1,0,0,…), so they all needed 1 more hide turn. From then on just distribute the seeks evenly until you are done

The algorithm gives the following configuration of seekers:
(9,5,10,2,8,0,3,7,9,3,2,8,5,4,6)+(5,5,5,5,4,4,4,…)=(14,10,15,7,12,4,7,11,13,7,6,12,9,8,10)
which means they hid the following number of times:
(131,135,130,138,133,141,138,134,132,138,139,133,136,137,135)
can some one explain me Q.no 4 with taking one of the test case as an example
What is this ?
How did you get this ?
Sorry , I dont understand :sob::sob:
Thanks a lot !
