When you open a list (.cil) in Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) 2.0 on a Windows 7-based computer, you may receive the following error message:
An item with the same key has already been added.
This problem may occur if there are multiple network adapters in the computer, and these networks adapters have the same MAC address. For example this problem may occur if you have two network adapters for a virtual machine, and you configure these network adapters to have the same MAC address.
If you open the.cil file in this situation, you see an entry that resembles the following:
To have us delete the duplicate entries from the.CIL file for you, go to the "Fix it for me

In my QGIS3 plugin I need to close all open PyQt5 dialogs. The structure of my plugin is like the following code. To be clear, when I call runCloseDialogs() I want to close both dialogs opened by run() and run2() if they are open. How can I do this?
def run(self):
 self.dlg = Dialog()
 self.dlg.show()
def run2(self):
 self.dlg2 = Dialog2()
 self.dlg2.show()
def runCloseDialogs(self):
 #close all open dialogs here
1
 - Do you want to close all open dialogs in the plugin OR all open dialogs opened in some specific methods (like run and run2)? Is the question about method-based dialogs or dialog-based dialogs? Mar 10, 2020 at 20:36
1 Answer 1
3
CASE 1: If dialogs are created in the main class defined in main module of the plugin,
 - First, find all attributes of main class. (vars(self))
 - Then, check if any is QDialog and is visible. If it is, hide using setVisible(False)
def runCloseDialogs(self):
 items = vars(self)
 for i in items:
 item = items[i]
 if isinstance(item, QDialog) and item.isVisible():
 item.setVisible(False)
CASE 2: If the plugin has any widget (GUI) which contians other Qt elements (for example QPushButton) and dialog window is opened by that element, in this case, dialog window is (probably) child of main widget (GUI). In this case, self stands for GUI.
 - First, find all QDialogs instances of the plugin.
 - Then, check if it is visible. If it is, hide using setVisible(False)
def runCloseDialogs(self):
 for dlg in self.findChildren(QDialog):
 if dlg.isVisible():
 dlg.setVisible(False)
The script above close all dialogs defined in the plugin's GUI.
CASE 3: If you want to close only self.dlg and self.dlg2, you can use the following lines:
def runCloseDialogs(self):
 if self.dlg.isVisible():
 self.dlg.setVisible(False)
 if self.dlg2.isVisible():
 self.dlg2.setVisible(False)
4
 - Hi thank you very much. I was asking about the first case, but your answers are both usefull.
 – Lorenzo
 Mar 11, 2020 at 16:49
 - It says: 'Plugin' object has no attribute 'findChildren'
 – Lorenzo
 Mar 11, 2020 at 17:16
 - Ok. I thought run method was defined in a GUI class. I've editted the answer. Mar 11, 2020 at 19:41
 - Thank you, your answers are always very complete

In this programme, Stephen Fry explores 'the written word'. Writing is a great invention - making it possible to communicate across space and time. Without writing we would have no history and very little technology.
Stephen discovers the earliest writing - cuneiform - at the British Museum, and learns how our alphabet came from the Phoenicians. As part of his exploration of the diversity of scripts, Stephen visits 106-year-old Mr Zhou, the inventor of the Chinese phonetic writing system called Pinyin, who relates how literacy increased four-fold after its introduction under Mao.
After the written word came the printed word, and Stephen looks at how this has shaped our relationship with writing, giving us libraries, dictionaries and encyclopaedias. From the Bodleian to Diderot's favourite café to the cutting-edge research at MIT, Stephen explores how the written word evolved into printing, then libraries, encyclopaedias and computer code. Blogging and twittering is just the tip of a brave new future which no one dares predict.

Patriotic Union (Union Patriotica)
patriotic union colombia
The Patriotic Union or Union Patriotica (UP) is a leftist political party that was co-founded by the guerrilla group, the FARC, in the mid-1980′s and was the victim of systematic disappearances and assassinations in the late 80′s and early 90′s. 2013 marked the first time the UP announced a political candidate since 2002.
In 1984, the FARC and Colombia's government came to an agreement during the first ever attempt at peace talks that laid the foundation for the FARC and other guerrilla groups to participate politically. The deal, known as the "Uribe Agreements," would allow these rebels to "little by little live life legally in the country," according to leftist thought leader Ivan Cepeda.
At this point, a group of many different political interests including the FARC, members of the Colombian Communist Party (CCP), other rebel groups such as the ELN, and leftist leaders came together to form a leftist political coalition to oppose the two dominant political parties of the time: the liberal party and the conservative party. This new opposition party would be known as the Patriotic Union.
The UP, which denounced using force or arms to influence Colombian citizens, sought voice within the government after the liberals and conservatives shut out all opposition political groups from significant power for 16 years. The UP prioritized issues such as land redistribution, better health care and education for the poor, greater access to an increasingly censored mass media, and the nationalization of businesses, banks, and transportation systems.
In 1986, the then openly communist political group did well in the election cycle. The UP gained 350 local council seats, 23 deputy positions in departmental assemblies, 9 seats in the House, 6 seats in the Senate and 4.6% of the presidential vote. They performed better than any leftist group in Colombia's history, and better than any other third party group in over a decade.
By 1987 however, a combination of drug dealers, right-wing paramilitary groups and members of the incumbent government and army began systematically assassinating and forcing the disappearances of leaders of the communist party. Jaime Pardo, the UP's figurehead and presidential candidate in 1986, was assassinated in 1987 by a 14 year old boy who was tied to a drug dealer from the Medellin Cartel. By 1988, the UP reported that 500 of its members including Pardo and four congressmen had been assassinated.
From 1986 to 1990, between four and six thousand members of the Patriotic Union were murdered, including another presidential candidate, Bernardo Jaramillo, who was slated to run in 1990. More than 70% of all center-left presidential candidates in 1990 were assassinated as well.
Assassinations were rampant and continued throughout the 90′s and continued into the early 2000′s. One of the few surviving political leaders of the UP, Aida Avella, fled the country in 1995 after evading a third assassination attempt. Others members of the party ultimately followed Avella's lead and went into exile abroad. By 2002, the party had essentially become extinct.
In 2013, the UP resurfaced on the political stage in Colombia, though not nearly with as much fervor as it once had in the 80′s, and they elected Aida Avella to be their candidate for Colombia's 2014 presidential race while in exile in Switzerland. Though the principles that the party stands by remain similar to those they initially promoted, the UP is careful not to label themselves as communist or socialist anymore. The UP is known now as a leftist party that has hopes to build a following among the millions of Colombians currently in the exterior of the country.

A Mini Locomotive
A train has a locomotive that pulls the train with its many passenger coaches. If the locomotive breaks down, there is no way to pull the train. Therefore, the office of railroads decided to distribute three mini locomotives to each station. A mini locomotive can pull only a few passenger coaches. If a locomotive breaks down, three mini locomotives cannot pull all passenger coaches. So, the office of railroads made a decision as follows:
1. Set the number of maximum passenger coaches a mini locomotive can pull, and a mini locomotive will not pull over the number. The number is same for all three locomotives.
2. With three mini locomotives, let them transport the maximum number of passengers to destination. The office already knew the number of passengers in each passenger coach, and no passengers are allowed to move between coaches.
3. Each mini locomotive pulls consecutive passenger coaches. Right after the locomotive, passenger coaches have numbers starting from 1.
For example, assume there are 7 passenger coaches, and one mini locomotive can pull a maximum of 2 passenger coaches. The number of passengers in the passenger coaches, in order from 1 to 7, is 35, 40, 50, 10, 30, 45, and 60.
If three mini locomotives pull passenger coaches 1-2, 3-4, and 6-7, they can transport 240 passengers. In this example, three mini locomotives cannot transport more than 240 passengers.
Given the number of passenger coaches, the number of passengers in each passenger coach, and the maximum number of passenger coaches which can be pulled by a mini locomotive, write a program to find the maximum number of passengers which can be transported by the three mini locomotives.
The first line of the input contains a single integer t (1 <= t <= 11), the number of test cases, followed by the input data for each test case. The input for each test case will be as follows:
The first line of the input file contains the number of passenger coaches, which will not exceed 50,000. The second line contains a list of space separated integers giving the number of passengers in each coach, such that the ith number of in this line is the number of passengers in coach i. No coach holds more than 100 passengers. The third line contains the maximum number of passenger coaches which can be pulled by a single mini locomotive. This number will not exceed 1/3 of the number of passenger coaches.
There should be one line per test case, containing the maximum number of passengers which can be transported by the three mini locomotives.

7 Easy Football Tricks To Beat Defenders
Football is a game of unbelievably impressive tricks. These tricks are not only great to show off your skills but are also helpful in defeating defenders.
Defenders stop attacks, preventing players from scoring goals. However, with the help of certain moves, you can easily beat defenders. In this article, we'll cover a few of those iconic tricks.
On that note, if you're knee-deep in work, catch live football scores here and never experience the fear of missing out. Now, let's discuss the 7 best moves to beat defenders.
 - The Matthew Cut
Eponymous to the football legend Stanley Matthews, who championed this move over 50 years ago. This football trick is also known as 'shoulder feint' or 'dropping the shoulder'. The Matthew Cut is easy to pull off and is excellent to mislead defenders.
Execution: Kick the ball lightly with the inside of your foot in a particular direction. Then, with the outside of the same foot launch a kick in a different direction.
 - The Cruyff Turn
This dribbling move is the legacy of Johan Cruyff. It's effective when a defender is running close by you to snatch the ball from you.
Execution: Place your supporting foot slightly ahead of the ball and with your other foot push the ball gently behind your supporting leg. Now kick it in the opposite direction and run past the defender.
 - The Flip-Flap
Also known as the elastico, is a dribbling move, used popularly by football players to trick defensive players. The flip-flap is a quick yet fatal move, which may even cause the defender to stumble over. It may seem that this move is one smooth motion, but it requires a lot of practice to master it.
Execution: Launch the ball forward with the outside of your foot, then quickly push it to the opposite side with the inside of the same foot.
 - The Marseille Turn
The Marseille Turn is a dribbling trick popularized in the 1970s by a French footballer, Yves Mariot. Famous footballers Diego Maradona and Zinedine Zidane are notable executioners of this move, hence it's also known as the ''Maradona turn'' and ''Zidane turn''. The move is effective when the defender is approaching head-on trying to take control of the ball.
Execution: Place one foot on the ball and slightly pull it back, consequently spin around so your back is facing the defender. While you're spinning, drag the ball further back and past the defender. Now launch the ball in the direction you want to run.
 - The Nutmeg
This move is satisfying for the attacker and humiliating for the defender. Owing to its effectiveness, it's attempted multiple times in a game by players.
Execution: Place your foot on the ball and drag it to the side of the same foot, to trick the defender. Immediately kick the ball between the defender's legs to get the ball past them. And gain control of the ball again.
 - The Inside Touch
A player must have fast feet to perform this move with excellency. This move works well against defenders when they expect you to hit the ball inside rather than the outside.
Execution: Push the ball forward with the inside of one foot and quickly do a scissor with the same foot. Now, push the ball away using the outside touch of your opposite foot.
 - The Rainbow
Also known as Ardiles flick, is an advanced football move used rarely in matches due to its complexity. However, it remains one of the most famous moves in football. It helps you move past a defender while running down the field.
Execution: While moving, push the ball slightly ahead of you and trap the ball with the inside of your back foot and heel of the front foot. Then roll the ball with the back foot onto the front leg. Now lean forward and kick the ball over the head of your defender and run away.

The purpose of the Saddle Creek Retention Treatment Basin (SCRTB) Project is to capture combined sewage and store or treat it during wet weather events. Combined sewage will be diverted from the Saddle Creek Sewer and conveyed to the SCRTB headworks, where large materials like cans, rocks, tree branches and floatable solids are removed using a grit pit and mechanical screens. Directly following screening, a disinfectant will be added to the combined sewage flows to kill or inactivate bacteria. The 3.3 million gallon basin will allow for solids to settle and be removed from the combined sewage. For small wet weather events, the combined sewage will be fully captured (retained) in the underground basin. For larger events, the underground basin will completely fill up and a dechlorination agent will be added just prior to flows discharging through an overflow channel to the creek.
When construction is complete, the RTB will capture and treat a combined sewage flow rate of up to 160 million gallons per day. The headworks and chemical storage and feed systems were designed to meet peak instantaneous flow rates up to 320 million gallons per day to allow for large flow variations into the basin and also the potential for treating higher flows in the future. The RTB will use dewatering pumps to empty the facility after a wet weather event has ended. These pumps will convey captured combined sewage volume into the downstream Papillion Creek Interceptor sewer for treatment at the Papillion Creek Water Resource Recovery Facility (PCWRRF). A new 60-inch gravity sewer was installed around the RTB facility to provide increased CSO flows to be conveyed to the PCWRRF at the onset and over the entire duration of a wet weather event.
The above ground improvements included a building to house controls, grit and screening equipment, and chemicals. The building will provide office space for full-time operations staff, some additional city offices and maintenance for the facility. This project will also include work in the Saddle Creek outfall channel to complete the improvements with energy dissipation structures and natural channel elements at the confluence with Little Papillion Creek.
An odor control system will be installed to address the risk of odors from the facility. The site will include fencing and lighting for security purposes.
Landscaping is underway and start-up testing has begun.

Getting started with SaxonJ
Saxon doesn't come with a graphical user interface: it's a library designed to be integrated into other tools and applications. You will therefore start by using it from the operating system command line.
Alternatively, Saxon is integrated with popular XML development environments such as Oxygen XML Editor and Stylus Studio, which will handle all the installation dependencies.
 1. Ensure that Java is installed. SaxonJ 11 requires Java 8 or later. If for some reason you need to run with an earlier Java release, SaxonJ 9.8 ran with Java SE 6 or later. To check that Java is installed, try typing java -version at the command prompt. If it is not installed, you can get the software from Oracle.
 2. Download the Saxon software. You will typically start with the open-source version SaxonJ-HE which you can download:
 Alternatively, the commercial versions of the product (SaxonJ-PE and SaxonJ-EE) can be downloaded from _URL_.
 Because the software is pure Java, the same software us used whether you are running on Windows, Linux, or Mac OS/X.
 3. The software comes as a zip file. Unzip it into a suitable directory, for example c:\saxon.
 4. To check that the software is working, try running a simple query from the command line, as follows. The filename after the "-cp" flag should match the location where you installed the software. The file will be called saxon-he-11.1.jar for Saxon Home Edition, saxon-pe-11.1.jar for the Professional Edition, or saxon-ee-11.1.jar for the Enterprise Edition (where the "11.1" in the name will change to "11.2", "11.3", etc. in subsequent maintenance releases):
 java -cp c:\saxon\saxon-he-11.1.jar net.sf.saxon.Query -t -qs:"current-date()"
 Here:
 - java tells the operating system to run the Java virtual machine
 - the filename after -cp is known as the classpath, and tells Java where to find the Saxon application software
 - net.sf.saxon.Query is the Saxon entry point for the XQuery processor
 - the option -t tells Saxon to report what it is doing on the console
 - the option -qs:"current-date()" tells Saxon to run the simple query current-date(), which returns the current date and displays the result on the console.
 If this doesn't work, there are three possible reasons: the operating system can't find the Java software; Java can't find the Saxon software; or Saxon has been invoked, but has failed to run your query. The error message should give you a clue which of these is the case.
 5. As a first-time user, you may find it useful to install the sample applications. These are packaged together with a copy of this documentation in the file saxon-resources-11.zip. This can be downloaded from either the SourceForge or Saxonica sites (it is the same file in both cases). Unzip the contents of this file into the same directory as the Saxon software. When you run a program that uses Saxon, this program as well as Saxon itself will need to be on the classpath. For more details of the classpath, see Installing (Java).
 6. You might also like to experiment with the Gizmo tool. This is a simple interactive command-line application allowing you to display, search, and modify XML files from a terminal, as well as to invoke XSD validation and XSLT transformations. It is a useful testbed for trying out XPath expressions, or for examining the structure of unfamiliar XML documents.
 7. If you are using features specific to SaxonJ-PE or SaxonJ-EE (the commercial editions of Saxon), you will need to obtain a file containing a licence key. You can apply for a free 30-day evaluation license key by going to _URL_ and clicking on "Download / Evaluation License". The license key file will be sent by email within 24 hours. This file, called saxon-license.lic, is best placed in the same directory where the file saxon-pe-11.#.jar or saxon-ee-11.#.jar is found. When running Saxon from the command line, it not usually necessary for the directory containing the license file to be on the classpath. For more details on Saxon license keys, see the Saxon licenses section.
You can now run one of the sample stylesheets or queries that comes with the saxon-resources download. Assuming you installed Saxon-HE into c:\saxon, make this your current directory, and type:
for XSLT (all on one line):
java -cp saxon-he-11.1.jar net.sf.saxon.Transform -t -s:samples\data\books.xml -xsl:samples\styles\books.xsl -o:c:\temp.html
for XQuery (all on one line):
java -cp saxon-he-11.1.jar net.sf.saxon.Query -t -s:samples\data\books.xml -q:samples\query\books-to-html.xq -o:c:\temp.html
Now open c:\temp.html in your browser to check that it worked.
For more details on installing SaxonJ, see Installing (Java).

The visibility status of a library determines whether it can be used in one project (Project) or can be re-used at the IDE level (Global).
The scope of a library defines the set of files and folders in which the library is considered as library, that is, it is write-protected, excluded from check for errors and refactoring, affects the completion list and highlighting.
- Create a folder test at the same level as the src folder
- Populate the test folder. For each production file, create a separate test file and name it as follows: ..js
- Mark the folder where the tests are stored as test folder.
- If necessary, have PhpStorm detect and enable the required testing framework on-the-fly.

Compact & Efficient Solution To Bypass Gridlocks
In many regional towns there is a restriction on housing development due to gridlock in the sewage system. This can require a large investment to increase the capacity of the sewage systems and treatment plants. Akvotek's AkvoMBR is a low cost, turnkey solution to this problem.
Installing Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) treatment plants in a sewer mining operation, wastewater is drawn from an existing sewer, treated to a high regulatory quality standard and, either discharged to the environment or used for potable-replacement applications such as irrigation of public areas, toilet flushing or supply to industry
AkvoMBR is targeted at regional towns where a sewage treatment gridlock exists, sewers are at capacity and property developers are wanting to undertake residential developments

Betalen met een digitale euro: hebben wij daar nood aan?
The European Central Bank is currently examining the potential usefulness of a digital euro for households and companies and will communicate in October 2023 whether such digital currency will be launched and, if yes, in which form. Next to establishing a permanent access to public money in a more digital world, the digital euro can contribute to a streamlining of existing private digital currencies and payment systems, a more resilient digital payment system, and the preservation of monetary independence. The digital euro can, however, negatively impact the banking system if bank deposits get substituted by digital euro holdings. Research shows that this substitutability leads to an expected decline in profitability of banks which rely relatively much on bank deposits as their funding source. This negative effect can, however, be attenuated by limiting the quantity of digital euros. Moreover, an adequate determination of the supply of digital euros can limit the negative consequences on the banking sector to such extent that the introduction of a digital euro can offer welfare gains.

2. Gaps in current literature
2.1 The need for integration has long been recognised
The notion of integrated transport and land use planning has been proposed for a long time and the need for better integration of transport and land use planning is a long-standing issue in the literature.
Something of a breakthrough came in the early 2000s when the Commonwealth sponsored the production of a National Charter for Integrated Transport and Land Use Planning (Australian Transport Council 2003). The passage below from these Guidelines sums up the conceptual foundation for the integration imperative, at least as it was resolved at that time.
"Land use and transport planning has a key role to play in delivering social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Roads will continue to dominate as the means of movement for the majority of people and freight in Australia in the foreseeable future. However, by shaping the pattern of development and influencing the location, scale, density, design, and mix of land uses, planning can help to facilitate an efficient transport and land use system by:
- reducing the need to travel;
- reducing the length of journeys;
- making it safer and easier for people to access services;
- reducing the impact of transport on communities;
- improving freight access to key terminals and improved freight flows;
- providing for the efficient distribution of goods and services to business and community;
- providing a choice of travel modes; and
- ensuring flexibility to meet the demands of a changing economy and market environments".
While the National Charter for Integrated Transport and Land Use Planning was welcome, the ATAP Guidelines for ITLUP enhance the Charter by adopting two approaches:
- The traditional approach – cluster and connect
- The emerging approach – recognising the potential city shaping impact of transport.
These ATAP Guidelines for ITLUP introduce the city shaping impact of transport and provide a first step in developing an awareness, capability and practice in this important aspect of integrated planning. In time, more depth should be added to the guidance on city shaping impacts as knowledge and practice in this area evolve.

The National Museum has ordered the transport of the remaining 17 of 22 bags of cultural artifacts seized August last year by the police in Maitum, Sarangani, as a study on the five sacks earlier transported to Manila revealed that the makers of the confiscated anthropomorphic pottery, were, indeed, â€œ a distinct or separate group that most likely had contact with the group who made and used the pottery from Ayub.â€ In a letter to Maitum Mayor Elsie Lucille Perrett dated February 16, 2009 but received only recently, National Museum Director Corazon Alvina said that a study conducted by Dr. Eusebio Z. Dizon and his staff members revealed that the potteries are â€œdifferent from Ayub Cave pottery assemblage.â€
â€œWhile the anthropomorphic potteries from Ayub Cave and confiscated materials exhibit similarities in general morphology, variation in the details of human traits were observed.
Likewise, the technology employed in pottery production was different. These suggest that the makers of this confiscated pottery were a distinct or separate group that most likely had contact with the group who made and used the pottery from Ayub,â€ Alvina said, quoting from the study.
Dizon in September inspected the contents of the 22 bags and chose five for transport to Manila.

Wild Ricers Will Have to Hunt for Good Rice Beds
For the third year in a row, the wild rice crop is poor in northern Wisconsin. It is not because of drought, but because of flooding and a warm winter.
A few scattered rice beds look good, but according to Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission Biologist Peter David, this is a bad year across the region. David says, "East central Minnesota, kind of the area from Duluth to the Big Sandy Lake Complex and down to Mille Lacs, that area is bad as I've ever seen it, almost a total failure on many, many important rice lakes that way. Northwestern Wisconsin fairs a little better but certainly below average."
David does say northeastern Wisconsin is better, but even that is below par. He says the June 20 flood in that area is part of the reason. "It took rice that was in that floating stage and probably drowned, or essentially pulling it out of the bottom as water levels jumped up. But sort of the very broad distribution of poor beds that we're seeing also suggests there may be some other factors at work."
Other factors could include climate change. David says wild rice is designed for northern climates. Warmer temperatures, including recent mild winters, hurt germination and can lead to fungal disease.
David says the bad wild rice crop hits tribes the hardest. "They kind of count on it putting some food on the table. It's tough because this is the third fairly poor year in a row in northern Wisconsin so there's a cumulative effect going on there."
Most of the harvest in Wisconsin is in Burnett, Washburn, Polk, Oneida, Vilas and Forest Counties. The wild rice harvest season will start in a week to 10 days.


text: Many insects are able to precisely control their jumping movements. Once in the air, the properties of the actual landing site, however, are almost impossible to predict. Falling insects thus have to cope with the situation at impact. In particular, for insects jumping to escape predators, a controlled landing movement appears to be a major evolutionary advantage. A quick recovery into an upright and stable body posture minimizes the time to prepare for the next escape jump. In this study, we used high-speed recordings to investigate the falling and in particular the impact behavior of Schistocerca gregaria locusts, a common model organism for studies on the biomechanics of jumping. Detailed impact analyses of free-falling locusts show that most insects typically crashed onto the substrate. Although free-falling locusts tended to spread their legs, they mostly fell onto the head and thorax first. The presence of wings did not significantly reduce impact speed; however, it did affect the orientation of the body at impact and significantly reduced the time to recover. Our results also show that alive warm locusts fell significantly faster than inactive or dead locusts. This indicates a possible tradeoff between active control versus reduced speed. Interestingly, alive insects also tended to perform a characteristic bending movement of the body at impact. This biomechanical adaptation might reduce the rebound and shorten the time to recover. The adhesive pads also play an important role in reducing the time to recover by allowing the insect to anchor itself to the substrate.

Fact Sheet - Kentucky's Mean First Snowfall
The first snowfall of the winter season is a highly anticipated event throughout Kentucky. The first measurable snowfall of the winter season, though, falls at various times in different areas of the state. Kentucky weather is often sporadic, and it is often difficult to make long-term predictions concerning when or where significant snow will fall. For this reason, a map showing the first measurable snowfalls of a winter season is helpful.
A measurable snowfall is defined as 0.1 inch or greater. Using data collected from the Midwestern Climate Center, all measurable snowfall events from _PHONE_ were collected for twenty-eight Kentucky stations from the state's four climatic divisions. The first snowfall of each winter season was then extracted from the data, and the mean first snow event was taken for each station. The thirty year mean first snowfall was entered into the Surfer mapping program. With the mapping program, a contour map was created showing the average date of the first measurable snowfalls throughout the state.
The final map shows a clear distribution of the first measurable snowfall days across the state. For example, eastern regions of the state saw a much earlier winter snowfall on average than the western regions. Likewise, the more northern portions of the state had an earlier first snowfall date than the southern areas. Of all the stations examined, Covington, located in the far northern part of Kentucky, had the earliest average "first of the season" snowfall. Its mean date was November 20th. Elkton, located in a more southwestern part of Kentucky averaged the latest first snowfall on December 29th. The overall average first snowfall date of all stations examined was December 16th. For the most part, the southern half of the state saw snowfalls after mid-December, while the northern half saw the first snow before the middle of December.
For many individual stations, the first snow event of the year varied for as much as three months. The average snowfall dates between stations, however, varied by just over a month. Variance of the thirty-year mean around the state was significantly less than yearly variance for a particular station. No well-defined patterns of variability were evident, but the west seemed to show a greater variability between winter seasons than the eastern regions of the state. The farther west and south one traveled in the state, the more random the first winter snowfall is likely to be.
With a map of the average first measurable snowfalls in Kentucky, one can now have some idea of when and where the first snows may fall throughout the state with the coming of each winter season. The map confirms what many would have expected from the winter season in Kentucky. Earlier first snows are common in the Northern regions and in the mountainous Eastern regions of the state, just as later average first snows are common in the southwestern areas of Kentucky. While past data is a good indicator of future snowfall events, the state's snowfall is still quite random wherever one may be in the state.

Government targets for England look to reduce by 40% overall the number of serious injuries and deaths on the nation's roads by 2010, (compared with a starting point - baseline - of the 1994-8 average figures). The target for those aged 15 or under is higher, at 50% reduction.
But when researchers compared police statistics (which the Government uses for its figures), and hospital statistics between 1996 and 2004, they found large discrepancies.
Police figures showed that by 2004, numbers of those killed or seriously injured had dropped by almost a third (from 86 per 100,000 population, to 59 per 100,000). However, the police statistics showed a much smaller decline in the number of people killed than the number seriously injured.
Police statistics showed a 32% drop in serious but non-fatal injuries. However, the researchers found that hospital figures for non-fatal road injuries showed that rates had hardly changed between 1996 and 2004.
The authors suggest the discrepancies are probably down to an increase in under-reporting of injuries in the police statistics and that, if there has been a decline in injuries, it is probably only in those considered by the police to have been minor.
More investigation is needed, say the authors, since the findings cast doubt on whether there has been much progress on the Government's target to date - and on its likelihood of being met by 2010. In practical and policy terms, much more needs to be done to ensure that there are real and substantial reductions in serious injuries on England's roads.


Turn Back the Clock with the World Imagery Wayback Archive
Esri's new World Imagery Wayback archive, found in the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World, gives users access to global imagery that has appeared in the World Imagery basemap over the past five years. The basemap imagery comes from a variety of sources at a range of resolutions—in all, over 80 different versions of the basemap are available.
This is useful because when you view imagery basemaps, you typically only see the most recent images. However, sometimes it is a previous version of the basemap that you really want to see or use for a project. For example, maybe you need to use a particular version of basemap imagery for a long-term project, or you need to digitize features using a specific update of the basemap imagery. The World Imagery Wayback archive has been developed to meet just such demands.
Imagery in the archive can also help provide records of landscapes and, in some cases, show change over time. For example, visual analysis of archived imagery can help to identify where glaciers have shrunk; where urban areas have grown; and where change has occurred on the terrain due to volcanic activity, mudslides, or earthquakes.
Like other content in ArcGIS Online, you can access the archived images from ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap, making the images especially useful. If you already know which images you want to use, you can simply search for them in the Wayback Imagery group in ArcGIS Online, or you can find them through a Catalog connection to the imagery server in ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap. If you are not sure which images you want to use or you just want to explore the possibilities, use the World Imagery Wayback app.
In this tip, you will learn how to use World Imagery Wayback to explore changes in the Aral Sea, once the fourth largest lake in the world. Using archived imagery, you will be able to see how the lake has diminished in size due to water diversion projects aimed at transforming deserts in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan into farms.
You will learn how to find the images you want by using the World Imagery Wayback app, which can be accessed online from the Living Atlas. You will add the images to a web map in ArcGIS Online and then share the web map using the Esri Story Map Swipe app.
The Esri World Imagery Wayback app automatically opens to display an area near Las Vegas, Nevada, which has undergone rapid urban growth over the past five years.
Find the images of interest using the World Imagery Wayback app
 1. Open the World Imagery Wayback app.
 2. In the search box at the upper right of the map view, type the name of your area of interest. For this example, you will type "Aral Sea" and choose Aral Sea, KAZ from the drop-down menu in the search box. (Alternatively, you can use the map viewer to pan and zoom to the location you are interested in.)
The map will zoom in to that area and display the most recent image available.
To see your area of interest in more detail, use the navigation controls at the upper left of the map view.
Zooming in to the Aral Sea, the historical extent of the lake's water—which has been drawn here in yellow—is depicted in the image as the light-colored area.
 1. Note that the available images are highlighted in the timeline at the upper left.
 1. Scroll through the list of images at the left to see the highlighted images, which show when the imagery in the Esri World Imagery basemap was updated.
 1. Above the list of images, click the Only updates with local changes check box to see the dates when imagery was updated for the area on the map. This filters the view in both the timeline and the list of images.
 1. Move your mouse over the timeline or the list to view the different images in an overview window on the map.
 1. Click a different location in the map view to see when the images were updated for other locations within the map view. If the timeline or list of images does not change, that means that there are no additional or different images in your map view. In this example below, the images are the same for the entire map view.
 1. Click an image on the timeline or in the list to view the selected image on the map.
 1. Click the first icon to the right of the image name in the list to learn more about the image.
This opens the Item Details page in ArcGIS Online.
The selected image was visible in the June 11, 2014, update of the World Imagery basemap.
Next, add the images to an ArcGIS Online map.
Once you have found the images you want to work with, you can add them to a queue that will be used to make a map with all the selected images in ArcGIS Online. A simple click of a button will create the web map for you automatically. In this example below, the images for June 2014 and December 2015 were selected because they show a distinct change in water area, with the Aral Sea in 2015 having become drastically smaller.
 1. Click the second icon to the right of the image name in the list to add the image to a queue of images that will be used to create a map in ArcGIS Online.
The icon to the left of the timeline shows the number of images currently in the queue.
 1. Once you have selected the images you want, click the icon to the left of the timeline to create the web map in ArcGIS Online.
 1. You will be prompted to sign in to ArcGIS Online if you haven't already. Note that once you have made a web map during a session, you won't be prompted again to sign in.
 1. Fill in the details of the web map, including the title and tags. Edit the description if you desire, although a default description is provided for you.
 1. Click Create Wayback Map.
 2. Click Open Wayback Map to see your map in ArcGIS Online.
The web map will be displayed with the images you selected in the World Imagery Wayback app.
You can toggle the layers in the web map on and off to see the changes over time. But a better experience is for viewers to see the web map in an app that allows the images to be viewed without having to toggle the layers. One such app is Story Map Swipe, which is used in this example to reveal—through comparison of the two images in the web map—the shrinkage of the Aral Sea.
Share the images in a story map.
You can quickly and easily share your web map in a story map by using one of the templates that allow users to compare images. For example, follow the steps below to learn how to share your web map using an app such as Story Map Swipe.
 1. Make sure that the check box to the left of each layer name is checked. By default, the check box for the top layer will be unchecked so that you can see the earlier image.
 1. On the ribbon, click Save.
 1. On the ribbon, click Share.
 1. Choose who can view the map and click CREATE A WEB APP.
 1. Scroll down and select Esri Story Map Swipe and Story Map Spyglass app.
 1. Click CREATE WEB APP.
 1. Update the details, if you desire, and click Done.
 2. Click Next, since the swipe style is automatically selected.
 1. Click Next, since the option to swipe layers in a web map is automatically selected.
 1. Choose the layout settings for the web app. In this example, the layout settings are unchecked to create a very simple app. Once you have configured the settings, click Open the app.
 1. Make any final edits. In this example, I zoomed in a bit on the area of interest.
 1. Click SAVE when you are done.
Your app is now ready to let you share it with others.

Why does Chennai get rain in winter?
-The North-east dry Monsoon winds blow over the Bay of Bengal during winter. – As they pass over the Bay of Bengal they develop moisture and bring rain to the Tamil Nadu coast. … Chennai is located on the eastern coast. That is why; Chennai obtains rainfall more in winter than in summer.
Which reason has a winter rains?
Western disturbances, specifically the ones in winter, bring moderate to heavy rain in low-lying areas and heavy snow to mountainous areas of the Indian Subcontinent. They are the cause of most winter and post-monsoon season rainfall across northwest India.
Why Tamil Nadu gets more rain in winter than in summer?
Chennai experiences more rainfall in winter than summer due to following reasons: The southwest monsoon winds hit the Western Ghats and shower rain on the western side. … In winters, the retreating monsoon hits the eastern coast and rainfall is received by it through northeast monsoon winds.
Why is Mangalore not cold even in the month of December?
Mangalore is a coastal region which experiences moderate climate due to the influence of the sea. It does not experience extreme climate. Hence, Mangalore is not cold even in the month of December.
Why does India have winter rainfall?
Western Disturbances (WDs) can be called the Indian winter monsoon because they are the major source of precipitation (for both rain and snowfall) for the north Indian region during winters. … They are essential for the Rabi cropping season in India as they maintain the required moisture in the soil.
Does Tamil Nadu have winter?
Winter in Tamil Nadu begins in the month of November and extends until March, just before the onset of the summer season.
Why Tamil Nadu receives less rainfall in summer?
Tamil Nadu receives less rainfall in summer from the south-west monsoon as it lies in the leeward side of the Western Ghats. During winters the north-east winds are dry but as they blow over the Bay of Bengal they pick moisture and bring rainfall in Tamil Nadu as north-east monsoons.
Which month Tamil Nadu gets maximum rainfall?
Therefore, there is getting most of the rainfall in the months from October to November.

Twenty years ago today, on May 11, 2000, the first modern treaty in British Columbia came into effect.
The Nisga'a Final Agreement was negotiated outside of the B.C. treaty process by the Nisga'a Nation, British Columbia and Canada. It recognizes 2,000 square kilometres of Nisga'a lands and secures Nisga'a hunting and fishing rights in the Nass Wildlife Area and Nass Area.
It is also the first treaty in British Columbia to offer constitutional certainty of an Indigenous people's right to self-government.
"On this special milestone day, may we remember the generations of Nisga'a men and women who worked tirelessly over 113 years for the just and honourable settlement we achieved on May 11, 2000," said Eva Clayton, Nisga'a Lisims Government president in a media release.
The planned 20th anniversary gathering has been postponed to due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To recognize the occasion, the Nisga'a flag is flying in the Hall of Honour at the B.C. parliament buildings.
"Twenty years is a significant milestone. An entire generation of Nisga'a young people have grown up as members of a self-governing treaty nation," said B.C. Premier John Horgan in the release.
READ MORE: Nisga'a treaty stands up to court challenge
Efforts to negotiate a treaty began as early as 1887, when Nisga'a chiefs travelled to Victoria to demand the negotiation of a treaty and recognition of title and self-government. Canadian laws at the time prevented Indigenous people from raising money to advance land claims.
In 1968, the Nisga'a Tribal Council started legal action in the B.C. Supreme Court and negotiations between the Nisga'a and Canada began in 1976.
The government of British Columbia joined the discussions in 1990. The agreement was signed in Aug. 1998 and came into effect nearly two years later.
There are more than 7,600 members of Nisga'a Nation living mostly in the Nisga'a villages of Gingolx, Laxgalts'ap, Gitwinksihlkw and Gitlaxt'aamiks, while others reside in Terrace, Prince Rupert and the Lower Mainland.
"The 20th anniversary of the implementation of the Nisga'a Treaty is a major milestone in our shared history. Although a great deal has changed in the world around us, the Nisga'a vision for creating a better future for their people has not," said federal Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations Carolyn Bennett, in the release.
"The treaty is a living and breathing example of reconciliation in action and what we can accomplish when we work together and recognize and respect Indigenous people's right to self-determination."

Researchers at the University of Calgary in Canada have found that adding even a few automated vehicles to the traffic pattern will positively influence all traffic flow, resulting in faster, smoother commutes for all drivers.
Automated vehicles influence traffic with their good behaviors, because they maintain the ideal distance from other vehicles and ideal speed for each situation, which in turn influences the driving habits of human-controlled vehicles in the area, according to the researchers.
The researchers focused on Anticipatory Adaptive Cruise Control (AACC) systems, and found that just a few cars equipped with this technology will make a noticeable difference on commuter frustrations like bottlenecks. For example, an AACC-equipped vehicle can react to changes in traffic in just 1.5 seconds, compared to 2.7 seconds for manually-driven cars.

 - Last Updated : 26 May, 2020
MongoDB is one of the most used databases with its document stored as collections. These documents can be compared to JSON objects. MongoDB when it is used with Python then the combination is termed as PyMongo.
Limit()
The function limit() does what its name suggests- limiting the number of documents that will be returned. There is only one argument in the parameter which is a number signifying the number of documents that need to be returned.
Syntax:
coll.find().limit(n)
where,
 - coll- name of the collection
 - n- number that needs to be returned
Example 1:
Sample Database:
python-mongodb-sample-database2
from pymongo import MongoClient

# Create a pymongo client
client = MongoClient('localhost', 27017)

# database instance
db = client['GFG']

# collection instance
doc = db['Student']

# Retrieving first 3 documents using the
# find() and limit() methods
print("First 3 docs in the collection are: ")

for doc1 in doc.find().limit(3):
 print(doc1)
Output:
First 3 docs in the collection are:
{'_id': 1, 'name': 'Vishwash', 'Roll No': '1001', 'Branch': 'CSE'}
{'_id': 2, 'name': 'Vishesh', 'Roll No': '1002', 'Branch': 'IT'}
{'_id': 3, 'name': 'Shivam', 'Roll No': '1003', 'Branch': 'ME'}
While limit() puts a limitation on the number of documents fetched, find() can be used to find documents according to some specifies criteria.
Example 2:
from pymongo import MongoClient

# Create a pymongo client
client = MongoClient('localhost', 27017)

# database instance
db = client['GFG']

# collection instance
doc = db['Student']

# Printing documents of only those having
# branch as CSE and limiting the document
# to 1
for doc1 in doc.find({'Branch': 'CSE'}).limit(1):
 print(doc1)
Output:
{'_id': 1, 'name': 'Vishwash', 'Roll No': '1001', 'Branch': 'CSE'}
For skipping some files before fetching the said amount of documents skip() can be used with limit()
Example 3:
from pymongo import MongoClient

# Create a pymongo client
client = MongoClient('localhost', 27017)

# database instance
db = client['GFG']

# collection instance
doc = db['Student']

# Retrieving 3 documents using the
# find() and limit() methods
print("3 docs in the collection are: ")

for doc1 in doc.find().limit(3).skip(2):
 print(doc1)
Output:
3 docs in the collection are:
{'_id': 3, 'name': 'Shivam', 'Roll No': '1003', 'Branch': 'ME'}
{'_id': 4, 'name': 'Yash', 'Roll No': '1004', 'Branch': 'ECE'}
{'_id': 5, 'name': 'Raju', 'Roll No': '1005', 'Branch': 'CSE'}

How to Add a Title to Seaborn Plots (With Examples)
by Tutor Aspire
To add a title to a single seaborn plot, you can use the .set() function.
For example, here's how to add a title to a boxplot:
sns.boxplot(data=df, x='var1', y='var2').set(title='Title of Plot')
To add an overall title to a seaborn facet plot, you can use the .suptitle() function.
For example, here's how to add an overall title to a relplot:
#define relplot
rel = sns.relplot(data=df, x='var1', y='var2', col='var3')
#add overall title to replot
rel.fig.suptitle('Overall Title')
The following examples show how to use these functions in practice.
Example 1: Add a Title to a Single Seaborn Plot
The following code shows how to add a title to a seaborn boxplot:
import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
#create fake data
df = pd.DataFrame({'points': [25, 12, 15, 14, 19, 23, 25, 29],
 'assists': [5, 7, 7, 9, 12, 9, 9, 4],
 'team': ['A', 'A', 'A', 'A', 'B', 'B', 'B', 'B']})
#create boxplot
sns.boxplot(data=df, x='team', y='points').set(title='Points by Team')
Seaborn boxplot with title
And the following code shows how to add a title to a seaborn scatterplot:
sns.scatterplot(data=df, x='points', y='assists').set(title='Points vs. Assists')
Seaborn scatterplot with title
And the following code shows how to add a title to a seaborn regplot:
sns.regplot(data=df, x='points', y='assists').set(title='Points vs. Assists')
Seaborn regplot with title
Example 2: Add an Overall Title to a Seaborn Face Plot
The following code shows how to add a title to a seaborn facet plot:
import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
#create fake data
df = pd.DataFrame({'points': [25, 12, 15, 14, 19, 23, 25, 29],
 'assists': [5, 7, 7, 9, 12, 9, 9, 4],
 'team': ['A', 'A', 'A', 'A', 'B', 'B', 'B', 'B']})
#create relplot
rel = sns.relplot(data=df, x='points', y='assists', col='team')
#add overall title
rel.fig.suptitle('Stats by Team')
Seaborn facet plot with title
We can also use the subplots_adjust() argument to move the overall title slightly higher so that it doesn't get in the way of the individual plots:
#create relplot
rel = sns.relplot(data=df, x='points', y='assists', col='team')
#move overall title up
rel.fig.subplots_adjust(top=.8)
#add overall title
rel.fig.suptitle('Stats by Team')

In this tutorial, I will show you 2 formulas that will help you capitalize the first letter of words in Google Sheets.
How to Capitalize the First Letter of Each Word in Google Sheets
If you have a string of text in a cell, and you want to capitalize the first letter of every word in that string, the PROPER function will help you do this.
The PROPER function will output your selected text with the first letter capitalized of every word in the cell.
The PROPER function only takes one argument, which is the text that you want to perform the function on.
Here is the syntax of this formula:
PROPER(text)
Here is how to use this function:
 1. Select the cell where you want the formula to output the data.
 2. Type the word "Proper" and press the Tab button on your keyboard
 3. Select the cell with the text that you want to change
 4. Type a closing parenthesis ")"
 5. Press Enter on your keyboard
Proper
This method is useful if you want to capitalize every single word in a cell, but if you only want the first letter of the first word capitalized, use the below method
How to Capitalize the First Letter of a String of Text
If you only want to capitalize the first letter of a cell, you have to combine a few different functions.
There is not a single function in Google Sheets that will do this, but if you combine a few formulas, you can get the job done.
These are the functions you will need to combine and what they do:
 - UPPER – Converts string to uppercase
 - LEFT – Substring from the beginning of a specific string
 - RIGHT Substring from the end of a specific string
 - LEN – Length of a string
You would need to combine these in one formula with this syntax if you were performing it on the first cell in your spreadsheet:
=UPPER(LEFT(A1,1))&RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)1)
You can see in the example below that this will capitalize only the very first word in your string.
Capitalize
This formula works because you are taking the very first letter at the left of your string and uppercasing it (UPPER & LEFT), and then adding on all the letters from the right of the string, except for the first letter. (RIGHT & LEN -1).
This is a very clever way of accomplishing this job. There are certainly other ways to do this in Google Spreadsheets, but this is going to be the best method.
Closing Thoughts
With the 2 methods, we have shown above you should easily be able to capitalize the first letter in your cells.

Modeling and FEM simulation of love wave SAW-based Dichloromethane gas sensor

Academic Editor: Francisco Falcone
Abstract:
Dichloromethane (DCM) or methyl chloride is a volatile organic compounds (VOC) infamous for its carcinogenic properties. The gas mainly used in industrial solvents is found to cause lung and liver cancers in animal experiments, whereas they are proven to cause cancers of the brain, liver, and a few types of blood cancers including Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in humans. The deteriorative effects are found to exposure as low as 200 ppm for a few continuous hours, whereas exposure above 1000 ppm is found to cause cancers in mammals. Among the various techniques available today for the detection of gases in atmospheric air the SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) sensors are highly accurate. SAW offers higher sensitivity, simplicity of fabrication, rapid response time, room temperature operation, and/or the possibility of wireless operation at low costs.
In this paper, FEM design and analysis of the Surface Acoustic Wave technology based on love waves was used for detecting volatile organic gases. The 3D gas sensor was composed of interdigitated transducers modeled on a piezoelectric substrate and covered by a guiding layer of SiO2, and on top of that was a film of polyisobutylene (PIB) that served as the sensing layer. The material used for the piezoelectric substrate was 640YZ-cut Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) for love wave generation, and the lightweight electrodes were made of Aluminium (Al). Analytical simulations were conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics 6.0 software based on the Finite Element Method (FEM).
The impact of mass loading on the sensing layer was utilized to detect volatile organic gases. The resonant frequency of the SAW device was determined, and simulations were performed by exposing the sensor to dichloromethane gas at concentrations ranging from 0 to 1000 ppm. This work also described the analysis of various parameters of the SAW sensor such as the quality factor, coupling coefficient, equivalent circuit components, S parameter, and admittance. The simulation result exhibited a linear frequency shift of the sensor with dichloromethane gas concentration and explained the behavior of the sensor through its equivalent circuit.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
A column of troops one km long is moving along a straight road at a uniform pace. A messenger is sent from the head of the column, delivers a message at the rear of the column and returns. He also moves at a uniform pace and arrives back at the head of the column when it has just covered its own length. How far did the messenger travel?
I can't get any ideas on how to start.
Thanks for any help.

How far did the messenger travel means the distance traveled or the displacement? If its displacement then the answer should be 1km. – Saurabh Jul 3 '12 at 6:10
It means distance. – Matt Jul 3 '12 at 6:12
You just need to organise the information carefully and use distance = speed x time. Write down what you know about the movement of the column - say speed $u$ and the messenger say speed $v$ taking total time $t$. Split the movement of the messenger into two obvious parts. Then identify the total distance $d$ you want to find, and use the information you have to find an equation for $d$. – Mark Bennet Jul 3 '12 at 6:19
A trivial answer to the question would be $1$km, the length of the column. After all, the messenger starts out at the head of the column, and ends up again at the end of the column, at the point in time when it has covered its own length, and she then has advanced as much as the column has. This is probably not what the question intends, but it could be made clearer. – Marc van Leeuwen Jul 3 '12 at 6:50

Let us assume that the speed of the column is $1$ km per unit of time. For convenience, call that unit an hour. The column took $1$ hour to cover its own length.
Let $v$ be the speed of the messenger. When she is travelling to the back, the combined speed of approach of the messenger and the column rear is $v+1$, so the time it takes is $\frac{1}{v+1}$. Going the other way, the speed at which the messenger gains on the head is $v-1$, so the time it takes to gain the whole $1$ km is $\frac{1}{v-1}$. The whole task took $1$ hour, and therefore $$\frac{1}{v+1}+\frac{1}{v-1}=1.$$ This gives $v=1+\sqrt{2}$. The time taken is an hour, so the distance travelled is $1+\sqrt{2}$.

Let the speed of troop is $u$ kmph and that of messenger is $v$ kmph.
So the relative speed when messenger is going backward is $v+u$ kmph.
And relative speed while going forward is $v-u$ kmph $(v>u)$.
So the total time taken is $$t=\frac{1}{v+u}+\frac{1}{v-u}$$ but in this time troop had moved $1$km so the $t=\frac{1}{u}$
$$\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v+u}+\frac{1}{v-u}$$ $$v^2-2uv-u^2=0$$ which give us the following relation $$v=u(1+\sqrt2)$$
so the distance traveled is $$\begin{align*} d= &\underbrace{\frac{v}{v+u}}_{backward}+\underbrace{\frac{v}{v-u}}_{forward}\\ &=\frac{2v^2}{v^2-u^2}\\ &=\frac{2v^2}{2uv}\\ &=\frac{v}{u}=1+\sqrt{2}\text{ km}\end{align*}$$

Mostly ok, but why did you give the answer using units of speed? Mind you, I've never seen it abbreviated "kmph". At least locally "km/h" is the only way to write it. This is different from, e.g. U.S.A., where "mph" is always used. I guess there are local variations :-) – Jyrki Lahtonen Jul 3 '12 at 7:27
_USER_ Oh that was a mistake.I have corrected it.Thanks – Saurabh Jul 3 '12 at 7:32

Let $x$ be the troops' speed and $y$ be the messenger's speed.
Total messenger travelling time is $1/x$ (as the troops moved 1km forward).
In the troops frame of reference, the messenger first moved backwards with the speed of $y+x$, and then moved forward with the speed of $y-x$ so that in the $1/x$ total time he returned to the initial position.
Let $z$ be the time messenger spent to reach the rear of the column. Obviously, $z = 1/(y+x)$ (as messenger moves with the speed of $y+x$ relative to the column and has to travel $1$ km relative to the column to reach its rear).
From the other side, we have $z \times (y+x) + (1/x - z) \times (y-x) = 0$, from which follows $2zx + y/x - 1 = 2/(y/x+1) + y/x - 1 = 0$.
Note that the total messenger travelling distance is $d = y/x$. From the previous equation we get $2/(d+1) + d - 1 = 0$, $d^2-3 = 0$, and thus $d = \sqrt{3}$.

Fiberglass Hull Repair
This article applies to all fiberglass hull repair, including work on Sunfish and Laser Sailboats.
If you carefully follow the directions put forth in this article, you can have the nicest hull in your fleet. First, you must acquire the proper attitude about taking care of your boat. If you still pull your boat up on a dock without first checking for nails, screws and gravel, donít even bother reading this article. Your Sunfish only has about enough gelcoat for two hull rescue jobs.
MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT:
 1. Place to work for about 12 hours that can be washed down with water
 2. Gelcoat to match your hull and catalyst
 3. Acetone
 4. Nuffing compound (Dupont 101, Acme 50, 3M Super Heavy Duty, or a similar grit)
 5. Sharp knife
 6. Cardboard cut in a bout 10'' x 10'' squares
 7. Stir sticks (Popsicle sticks)
 8. Bucket and water
 9. 12 chunks of terry cloth (cut up old bath towels into 8 chunks each)
 10. Wet-sand paper in 320, 400, 500, 600, 800, 1000, and 1500 grits. If your scratches are particularly large or numerous you may also want 180 and 240 grit papers. For whichever grit you use first you will need about 5 sheets. For the other grits you will need about 1 sheet each.
 11. Gel Gloss or TR 500
 12. Maguire's Deep Crystal paste wax
 13. Squeegee ( I use a Thalco laminators squeegee but a good window squeegee will do the job)
 14. Pencil
 15. Cleansers (Comet or Ajax)
 16. Sanding blocks (I use a 9î block from an automotive paint supplier)
DIRECTIONS:
The boat needs to be supported upside down at a height where you can stand over it for many hours. You donít want to damage the boat or your back.
 1. Read all of these directions before you do anything to your boat. If you donít understand the directions, or if you have any trouble making the various steps come out correctly, take your boat to a professional.
 2. Wash the boat with a good cleanser and then clean it again with acetone.
 3. Every scratch that you can feel will need to be filled. Use a sharp knife and lightly re-gouge the scratches. Your scraping should create dust, not chunks. You must have a freshly roughened surface so your repairs can adhere to the grooves.
 4. Blow away the dust and wash the boat again with acetone. Make sure that you have removed every last particle . If your repairs are made over a dirty surface the repairs will stick to the dirt but not to your boat.
 5. Test the gelcoat to make sure it doesnít set up too fast or too slowly by mixing a small amount on your cardboard. Dribble a half dollar size disk of gelcoat off a stir stick. Then dribble a pea sized amount of catalyst into the center of the gelcoat and mix it as well as you can. Scrape, wipe, smear and swirl that puddle of material until you are sure that it is mixed. Play with the stuff for 15 minutes to make sure that it isnít becoming hard too fast--if it sets up too fast you wonít have time to apply it to the boat. Catalyzed gel coat can get really hot. Set the cardboard down somewhere where it canít start a fire if it ignites. Go away for an hour. When you get back the surface of the puddle should be sticky but the material underneath should have hardened. To see if it is hard, fold the cardboard. The puddle should break. If your test batch matches this description, you have learned how to mix gelcoat. If the gelcoat didnít cure, start with a new batch and either add more catalyst or find a warmer place to do your work.
 6. Once you have learned to mix the gelcoat, mix a fresh batch. Using your stir stick or an artists brush, paint each of the scratches. Just try to fill the gouges level with the boat surface. This may take a couple of passes between which you need to go away for a soda or a beer depending on your age and preference. Do not wait more than a couple of hours, period.
 7. After you are convinced that all the scratches are filled, put on one more coat. This last coat can be mixed with a little extra catalyst to hurry along the process. Gelcoat does not fully cure when it is exposed to moisture in the air, so this last coat is to help cure the sticky part of the previous layer. This is a good place to stop for the night to allow the gelcoat to harden.
 8. Fold one of your terry cloth pieces and soak it with acetone. (Itís nice if your terry cloth is a contrasting color to the hull.) Wipe off the part of your gelcoat that will soak easily free. Keep wiping until the towel shows no more color coming off. If you have lots of scratches this may take a couple of towels. You will also need a fresh towel to wash the sticky stuff off your hands.
 9. It is time to use sandpaper. Sandpaper can follow the contour or the surface and remove the softest part, or it can ride gently over the surface, trimming off only the high spots. YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE RULES:
 Use Sharp Sandpaper!
 Do Not Press Down Hard!
 10. It is time to sand off the extra gelcoat. Use sharp sandpaper. Do not press down hard. Ideally, you will use the finest grit that your patience will allow and a wood block. You will sand away the excess gelcoat without ever touching the adjacent pristine surface of your boat. I usually accomplish this task with as tiny a wood block as I can hold and a lot of brand new sandpaper. The sandpaper should not touch anything other than your repair until the excess is almost totally removed. Be patient. Use sharp paper. Do not press down hard. I recommend 320 or 240 for this step. Stop often and look at how you are doing. Remember that you do not want to sand anything except the stuff sticking out above the scratch. Occasionally you should use your squeegee to dry the work area. Stop. Look and feel how you are doing.
 Let me digress a moment here. What I just described can be more easily accomplished using dry sandpaper. I use the white or gold type of paper. However, if you choose to sand dry you will be creating a lot of dust and adequate protection is necessary. You will need a protective mask and the work area will be coated by your dust. The advantage of dry sanding is that you can wipe away the dust and see exactly where you have sanded.
 11. When all the repairs are flat and level with the hull surface it is time to begin working on the whole hull. Do not begin sanding the whole hull until you have finished sanding all the individual scratches. You need the shiny surface of the hull as a reference until the heavy sanding is finished so that you donít make the surface wavy.
 Now itís time to get all the ripples off the entire hull. As long as you can smell styrene inside your boat the plastic is shrinking, becoming more crystalline and just plain getting uglier. You want to remove all the tiny ripples that your boat has developed as the plastic has continued to cure since it left the production mold. Remember that you are not attempting nor are you allowed to change the shape of your boat. This is a cosmetic repair, not a speed enhancement.
 I usually start the whole hull job with 320 paper. Using a soft rubber block, I sand at 45 degrees to the centerline until the entire hull is a consistent, dull finish with all of the sanding scratches parallel. The reason to keep all of the scratches parallel is so that when you switch to another grade of sandpaper, you can sand in a different direction and know when you have removed all of the scratches from the previous grade.
 Itís graffiti time. Use a pencil to make marks all over your hull. When Eric Faust does this part he creates cartoons and other nonsense, but lazy guys like me just scribble. The object is to make enough pencil marks so that it is easy to tell where you have and have not already sanded. Turn your sanding to the other 45 degree angle and shift up to your next finer grade of paper. Sand away all the pencil marks and then inspect your work. All the sanding scratches should run in the new direction. In areas where the old scratches still show, pencil and sand again.
 Repeat the penciling and sanding with 400, 500, 600, 800, 1000, 1200 and 1500 grit papers. You can skip grits or stop at a heavier grit but your boat will not be as shiny if you donít use the whole series. To make the bottom of your hull heavenly, you have to sand it thoroughly.
 12. Now, smear buffing compound all over the hull and with one of your clean pieces of terry cloth, rub it until you are sick of rubbing. Rubbing compounds work a lot like sink cleansers--the more you stroke the surface the better the final appearance.
 13. Using water and a clean rag, rinse off the remaining compound.
 14. Apply Gel Gloss according to the directions on the can. If you are not paranoid about the possible loss of boat speed you may also want to wax your boat. When you go to a really important event in fresh water, you may wish to remove the wax with a strong detergent. I think that a hull coated with Gel Gloss is


Rongme Ngatra of the Chola Mountains in Garze, Sichuan
Rongme Ngatra is the highest peak of the Chola Mountains in the Kham region of western Sichuan, China. The peak's name in Mandarin Chinese is Que Er Shan or Chola Mountains (Chinese: 雀儿山; pinyin: Què'ér Shān) also the same name as the entire range, which has led to some translations of the mountain peak to Chola Mountain. At 6,168 metres (20,236 ft), the mountain is the highest peak in the Chola Mountains, as well as the second highest in the greater Shaluli Mountains after Ge'nyen.[2]The mountain peak is flanked by glaciers to the north and east. The north glacier terminates at 4,100 metres (13,500 ft) above sea level, just above the nearby lake Yihun Lhatso.[3] Rongme Ngatra can be accessed from the town of Manigangoin Dege County, Garze Prefecture.

Gerbils are small rodents that live in the desert sands. These tiny animals eat seeds, grains, fruits, and vegetables. Gerbils eat whatever is in front of them but can gerbils eat honey?
It's best not to feed them, honey, because they can't digest it properly. Why does this happen?
Honey is made up of two sugars called glucose and fructose which gerbils cannot break down. This means that the sugar will sit inside their stomachs doing nothing but making them feel full for hours on end with no nutritional value whatsoever.
If you want to give your little buddy something sweet then try sticking to fruits instead – apples and berries are great.
1. Sugar Requirements of Gerbils:
Gerbils, like other rodents, have a high need for sugar. In the wild, they get most of their sugar from the seeds and fruits they eat. At home, you can provide your gerbil with a diet that includes:
- Commercial gerbil food pellets
- Fresh vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, celery, basil, and cucumber
- Fruit such as apple, banana, grapes, melon, blackberries, and strawberries.
Note that watermelon should be avoided because it can contain too much water.
2. How Much Honey Can A Gerbil Eat?
Gerbils are not able to break down the sugar in honey so it's best to refrain from feeding them this sweet treat. It can harm their teeth. Also, it can affect their blood sugar level.
3. What Are The Consequences of Feeding Honey To Gerbils?
Feeding honey to gerbils can have some serious consequences. The sugar in honey will not be digested and will just sit in the stomach, making the gerbil feel full for hours with no nutritional value.
In addition, honey can also get caught in the gerbil's teeth or get infected with harmful bacteria. The last concern is that it can cause blood sugar levels to spike and drop very quickly, which will cause dizziness and tiredness.
4. What To Teed Your Gerbils Instead of Honey?
Gerbils should receive their sugar requirements from commercial gerbil food pellets or fresh vegetables and fruit. Avoid feeding them foods that contain too much sugar, such as bananas and watermelon.
5. Is Honey Too Sticky For A Gerbil To Lick Up?
Some gerbils may enjoy licking up honey from a surface. However, honey is very sticky and can be difficult to remove from fur or hair. If your gerbil does lick up some honey, be sure to clean them up well with a damp cloth.
6. Honey Is A Good Food Source For Humans But Not Gerbils:
Honey is very popular and loved by many for its sweet taste. However, gerbils cannot digest honey and it can lead to some serious issues such as an upset stomach.
If you want to give your little buddy something sweet then try sticking to fruits instead that provide much-needed vitamins and minerals such as bananas, apples, grapes, and melon.
7. Gerbils Should Never Eat Honey If They Are Diabetic:
If your gerbil is diabetic or has any other health issues that could affect their blood sugar levels, they should never eat honey.
The sugar in honey can cause blood sugar levels to spike and drop very quickly, which will cause dizziness and tiredness.
Consult with your veterinarian if you are unsure whether or not honey is safe for your gerbil.
8. The Nutritional Value Found In Honey:
Honey is rich in carbohydrates, making it a sweet treat that many people enjoy. Carbohydrate is broken down into glucose and fructose which are then absorbed by the body.
Glucose is the main source of energy for the body's cells while fructose is metabolized in the liver. Honey also contains some B vitamins, vitamin C, minerals such as potassium and calcium, and antioxidants.
9. Which Pellets Can Be Given To Gerbils Instead of Honey?
There are many gerbils' food pellets available in the market today. Food pellets should be chosen based on your gerbils' dietary needs and other factors such as convenience, price, and quality.
There are different types of gerbil food pellets, but there is no right or wrong type to choose from. It all depends on your preferences and what is available in your area.
There is no doubt in saying that gerbil surely cannot eat honey at all. The nutritional value of honey isn't good for their health and they just won't digest. Try sticking to feeding them pellets, fruits, and vegetables instead.
If we have missed any information or opinion regarding "can gerbils eat honey", let us know in the comment section. Thanks for reading.

Does your common sense allow you to believe that robots can have common sense too?
MSc Keerthi Kumar Doreswamy
Ústav informatiky, PF UPJŠ

SJ2S07 (3.16T), PF UPJŠ
Finding objects in human environments requires autonomous mobile robots to use common sense reasoning about potential object locations and to plan to perceive them accordingly. By using information about the 3D structure of the environment, knowledge about landmark objects and their spatial relationship to the sought object, search can be improved by directing the robot towards the most likely object locations. In this talk I will discuss the design, implementation and evaluation of an approach for searching for objects on the basis of Qualitative Spatial Relations (QSRs) such as left-of and in-front-of. On the basis of QSRs between landmarks and the sought object we generate metric poses of potential object locations using an extended version of the ternary point calculus and employ this information for view planning. I will discuss results showing that search methods based on QSRs are faster and more reliable than methods not considering them.

How to Test a Lawn Mower Battery
By Jack S. Waverly ; Updated September 21, 2017
Testing a lawn mower battery is simple.
tondre le gazon image by fotogisÃ¨le from Fotolia.com
When your lawn mower doesn't start, it can caused by one of many minor or major problems. Most causes are minor, and the homeowner can repair them. One common problem is the battery not holding a charge. You can test and correct this problem in a few minutes with the proper tools.
Find the battery of the lawn mower. Look under the seat or behind the engine. Riding lawnmowers can have either option; push mower batteries are located to the rear of the engine if they have one. Check the owner's manual for exact placement of the battery for specific makes and models.
Clean the battery before testing. Use the rag to clean off any dirt or grime. Use the flathead screwdriver to scrape off any debris and corrosion on top of the battery, which will help ensure a clean connection between the multimeter and the battery.
Identify the type of battery. Find the brand name stamp or plate of the battery, which is usually on top or on one side. Find out what voltage the battery takes. Common battery voltages are 6-volt and 12-volt; most lawn mower batteries are 6-volt. The voltage for the specific battery is listed next to or below the brand name of the battery.
Set the battery charger to the correct voltage. The battery tester is called a multimeter; it has two settings, 6V and 12V on the dial. Set the multimeter to the correct voltage for your lawn mower battery. If your multimeter uses A/C and D/C settings, consult the owner's manual to set the tester to the proper volt setting; most lawn mowers use the 200-volt DC setting.
Position the cables. Use the pliers to unscrew the battery cables. Check the battery posts for debris and corrosion; clean off any corrosion with the flathead screwdriver by gently scraping between threads with the narrow edge of the screwdriver head. Put the red cable onto the positive post and the black cable onto the negetive post; the posts are marked with "+" for positive and "-" for negetive.
Read the gauge on the mulitmeter. If the voltage is correct, check all connections and fuses on the lawn mower. If the voltage exceeds or does not match specifications for the lawn mower, continue to the next step.
Examine the water level. Use the flathead screwdriver to pry the top of the cell case from the battery cell. Look at the water level at the top of the metal plates in the battery. Fill low water levels with distilled water to the proper levels. Put the caps back on. Reattach the battery to the multimeter, and recheck the voltage. If the battery still does not charge, continue to the next step.
Look for the fuse next to the battery. Remove the fuse, and replace it with a new fuse. Fuses burn up and can cause lawn mowers not to start.

Things You Will Need
 - Multimeter
 - Flathead screwdriver
 - Pliers
 - Rag
 - Distilled water


Body Nonverbal Communication
Background: In contemporary society, communication is pretty important for people. However, communication is not always easy to do for diverse reasons.
Actually, body language accounts for 55% of effective communication, and even if the language is incomprehensible or stuck in the expression, it can still be conveyed in other ways, such as jewellery.
Inspired by the application of Laban movement analysis in dancing area, the names of these five brooches are: "Excited", "Depressed", "Suspended", "Collapsing", "Elated".
The designer recorded her body movements and transferred them to 3D shapes, and applied colour to each of them to emphasise the differences.
According to the topic, this collection is supposed to be highly interactive with people, no matter the wearer or viewer. The brooches can be set on a table and rock when somebody touches as well as be worn on the body as brooches which tell viewers something related to the wearer. The design method of being movable helps this collection existing with vitality.
