As from the end of 2005, the Competition Act determines the role of the GVH in the development and dissemination of competition culture. Accordingly, the GVH is responsible for the development of competition culture, particularly
in order to raise public awareness of competition, for the dissemination of knowledge about competition policy, including the provision of information about the benefits resulting from competition or with the aim of assisting compliance and the creation of a competitive regulatory environment, as well as
for the contribution on its part to the development of competition-related legal and economic activities of public interest.
The developing of the competition culture, beside competition supervision and competition advocacy, constitutes the third pillar of the GVH's activity of protecting economic competition. The Competition Act provides the required financial conditions for the GVH's increased roll in the development of competition culture. The Act puts at the Authority's disposal five per cent of the total amount of the fines collected in the previous year.
The completion and coordination of works in connection with the development of competition culture, and the identification of needs thereto are the tasks of the Competition Culture Centre (GVH VKK), which is a specialised unit within the Authority. The tasks of the GVH VKK are defined in its annual work plan. Apart from the activities focusing on the development of competition culture with the technical support of the GVH, the work plan also contains programmes in the implementation of which the GVH relies on the contribution of other organisations to which it provides financial and, as circumstances may require, also technical support from its available budget. As it is clear from these tasks, the work plan intends to reach, through its specific activities, a very large target audience, including students and tutors of higher education institutions, teachers and students in primary and secondary education, dealing with/interested in competition law or competition-related economic analysis; theoretical experts and researchers, small and medium-sized enterprises having any contact to the proceedings and competition supervision activities of the Authority, NGOs performing an important role in the development of competition culture and information supply to consumers as well as public administration employees and decision-makers engaged in one way or another in competition-related issues during their work, including members of Parliament and their consultants too. For more information about the activity and functioning of the Centre, visit please the homepage of the GVH VKK. (The homepage will be available soon.)

Note: Normal system frequency of 60 cycles per second appear as blue. Green and red colors indicate higher than normal frequency.
A large region of electric systems, called the Western Interconnection, responded to the San Diego blackout on September 8 in less than a minute. A YouTube video vividly illustrates how changes in frequency across interconnected alternating current (AC) electric systems ripple across such a large area in a very short time.
The video shows the variation of frequency (the number of times per second that the electric charge reverses direction) in the Western Interconnection associated with the San Diego blackout on September 8. An event, which has still not been fully characterized, drove system frequency below 60 cycles per second for about 25 seconds. Interconnected electric systems in North America are designed to operate within a very narrow frequency band around 60 cycles per second (hertz). A frequency below 60 cycles per second indicates that instantaneous demand exceeds supply of electricity. After an extended period of insufficient supply (25 seconds), the system automatically shed load in San Diego. The blackout suddenly reduced system demand and frequency shot up well above 60 cycles per second.
The video uses data from a network of small, low-cost devices that plug into wall outlets. They reveal—for the first time—electric system dynamics during disturbances. Frequency, phase angle, and voltage of the power system are measured every few seconds and transmitted via the internet to computers at the University of Tennessee and Virginia Tech. The resulting GPS-synchronized wide-area network makes possible the geographic presentation of the data and system disturbance animations.
Frequency is shown as the vertical scale on the graph on the left and the color-coded map legend on the right. The red dots on the map are the locations of the monitors. Each line on the graph represents the frequency recorded over time by a monitor.
There are monitors in the Eastern Interconnection as well. The video below shows changes in electric system frequency in the 12 seconds after the loss of the two large North Anna nuclear units near Richmond Virginia due to the east coast earthquake on August 23.
Note: Normal system frequency of 60 cycles per second appear as red. Green and blue colors indicate lower than normal frequency.

Six centuries of history
The tapestry history in the region contributes to the "myth Aubusson": the origin of the tapestry's establishment in Aubusson and Felletin gets lost in the legends.
The origin of the "de la Marche" tapestries (region of Aubusson and Felletin) is obscure. It has been attributed for a long time to the Arabic world, as some are linking it to an old legend evoking a Saracen troop, lost after the 732 battle, where Charles Martel stopped the Arabic expansion towards the North.
Some other writers, amongst them George Sand, spread the hypothesis that in the late 15th Century, the exile of the Ottoman prince Zizim in Bourganeuf (40 km away from Aubusson) went along with the establishment of Turkish textile workers' workshops.
For some others, it is between the alliances between Flemish families and "de la Marche" lords that this origin is to be searched, because they are said to have influenced the setting up of weavers from Arras or Hainaut near Aubusson and Felletin in the 16th or 17th Century.For that matter, the writing mentions from 1457 onwards in Felletin, allows considering an older local activity of wool linens and blankets would have given rise to a specification towards the tapestry.

Collaboration in the Southeast and Caribbean
Work to manage invasive species is hardly ever done alone by a park. Here are some helpful organizations that work with parks to combat invasive threats.
Southeast Invasive Plant Management Team
The Southeast IPMT, founded December 2003, manages 20 parks that lie in seven states, from Abraham Lincoln's Birthplace National Historical Park in Kentucky to Ninety Six National Historic Site in South Carolina. Headquartered in Asheville, NC on the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Southeast IPMT is centrally located as a collaborative force to work among the 4 southeastern teams (Florida and Caribbean IPMT, Southeast Coast IPMT, and Gulf Coast IPMT). The group operates as a 'strike team' that is fully equipped and trained to handle invasive nuisances in units, and can consult with NPS authorities on using their Integrate Pest Management toolbox. The Southeast team prioritizes expertise and mobility, as they monitor, plan, and implement invasive plant management projects with safety in mind.
Southeast Coast Invasive Plant Management Team
The Southeast Coast IPMT serves 15 park units in North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. Network parks range from protected seashores and forested wilderness to urban recreational areas and preserved cultural landscapes. The Southeast Coast IPMT is stationed at Congaree National Park (CONG), which encompasses one of the last remnants of intact old growth bottomland forest. Approximately 80 percent of CONG is also designated wilderness which is uncommon in the southeastern U.S. The SEC IPMT was initiated as a pilot project in 2005, and by 2010 was permanently funded through CONG's base operating budget. Although funded differently than the majority of IPMTs, the SEC IPMT strives to achieve similar goals for invasive plant management.
Florida and the Caribbean Invasive Plant Management Team
The Florida and Caribbean IPMT is co-located with the South Florida/Caribbean Inventory and Monitoring network in Palmetto Bay, Florida. It serves 15 national park units located throughout Florida and the Caribbean by expanding existing invasive plant control efforts including inventory and monitoring, control, education, restoration, and research. The team consists of a liaison, a data manager, and contract crews.
Every year, a steering committee meeting is held to decide which parks proposed projects get funding for the upcoming year. The ranking committee consists of representatives from Florida and Caribbean NPS units, the US Army Corps of Engineers, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the State of Florida.

Case Study of Invasive Species Projects in The Southeast and Caribbean: Biscayne National Park Treatments
The Florida and the Caribbean IPMT's main treatment focus for 2017 was in Biscayne National Park. While Biscayne staff have been focusing on treating the exotics on the spoil islands, the IPMT has been focusing on treating the mainland adjacent to these spoil islands. This combined effort will reduce the invasive plant infestations along the length of the western shore of Biscayne Bay.
Using data gathered from the South Florida and Caribbean Network's 2016 Biscayne National Park Corridors of Invasiveness project, the team was able to easily relocate infestations within the park to treat and retreat. Using that data, the efficacy of the initial treatments and growth of the untreated infestations were evident.
Toby Obenauer, crew leader of the Southeast IPMT, traveled to South Florida for a week to assist in treating the larger patches of Asian nakedwood (Colubrina asiatica), Brazilian peppertree, and punktree. He also aided in an additional survey of the larger islands within the park. The few invasives that were present on Soldier and Boca Chita Keys were eradicated and those islands are now considered to be free of invasive plants. Periodic surveys will need to be completed to confirm no new infestations emerge.
In September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria impacted all of our parks. We will be monitoring the effects of these events for the next few years.

In normal times, some users find that there is no water in their home, but the pulse signal water meter is still rotating. The rotation of the water meter will increase the water bill at home. In many cases, the main reason for the rotation of the water meter is water leakage. As long as the leak is solved, it can Solve the problem of rotation.
1.No one lives in new households, and the pipelines are easy to gather gas.
This kind of situation is relatively common. New households generally have more complicated pipelines and are prone to water leakage and gas accumulation. For example, the quality of the user's bathroom is not good, and the water leaks after using it for a period of time. Some users are not at home for a long time, and the bathroom pipe is not used for a long time, resulting in a lot of air bags inside, causing water leakage and causing the water meter to rotate.
2. Secondary water supply.
Many communities have secondary water supply. The diameter of municipal water pipes is not large enough, or the water hammer causes the water meter to rotate when the float valve controls the water level. The area of water meter rotation caused by the secondary water supply is very large. To solve this problem, users need to cooperate.
3. The pressure at the control point of the municipal pipe network is low.
When the pressure of the water pipe is at a low level, the water pressure in the pipe is unstable. Therefore, when a user is using water in the same building, other residents will be affected.
4. The internal pipe network of the household is leaking.
The life of the water pipe is limited. When the water pipe is aging, there will naturally be water leakage, or when the water supply pipe is installed, water leakage at the pipe collar, tee, etc. causes the water meter to rotate.
The above is the reason for the rotation of the pulse signal water meter. If you find that the water meter at home is rotating, you first need to check whether the water connection pipes are aging or leaking. You can fix the leaks or replace the new pipes. If it is because If it is caused by municipal pipelines and water supply problems, you need to contact relevant departments.

How are mouth harps played
Mouth harps, also known as Jew's harps, are small musical instruments that are played by holding the instrument in the mouth and plucking the string with the teeth. The mouth harp is a very old instrument, and evidence suggests that it was used by ancient people in many parts of the world.
The mouth harp is a simple instrument, consisting of a metal or bamboo frame with a single wire or string stretched across it. The player holds the instrument in their mouth and plucks the string with their teeth. The vibration of the string creates a sound that is amplified by the resonant chamber of the mouth.
Mouth harps come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and they can be made from a wide range of materials. The most common type of mouth harp is the Vietnamese dan moi, which is made from bamboo. Other popular types include the khomus (or jaw harp), which is traditionally made from wood, and the morsing, which is made from metal.
Despite their simplicity, mouth harps can produce a wide range of sounds, from gentle melodies to lively rhythms. They are commonly used as folk instruments in many parts of the world, and are also popular with buskers and street performers.
If you've ever wanted to try your hand at playing a mouth harp, there are a few things you need to know before you start. In this article, we'll give you a brief overview of how to play the mouth harp, as well as some tips on what to look for when choosing an instrument.
What is the history of mouth harps
The history of mouth harps is a long and interesting one. These unique instruments have been used for centuries by people all over the world.
The first known mention of a mouth harp is in a Chinese book from the 4th century BC. This book describes a musical instrument that was played by blowing into it. It is believed that this is the earliest form of the mouth harp.
Mouth harps were also mentioned in the Bible in the book of Exodus. This passage describes how Moses used a mouth harp to soothe the Israelites after they had escaped from slavery in Egypt.
The traditional Native American flute is also thought to be a type of mouth harp. These flutes were used for both music and ceremony.
The mouth harp has also been popular in Europe, particularly in Scandinavia and Germany. In fact, the word "harp" comes from the German word "harfe" which means "mouth harp".
Today, mouth harps are still being made and played all over the world. They are a popular choice for folk musicians as well as those who enjoy playing unique and interesting instruments.
How are mouth harps made
Mouth harps are also known as Jew's harps, jaw harps, juice harps, and Trump. They are one of the oldest musical instruments in the world, dating back to at least 3,000 BCE. The mouth harp is a small, handheld instrument that is played by holding it in the teeth and plucking the flexible metal tongue with the thumb.
The basic design of the mouth harp has remained unchanged for centuries, though there are now many different variations available. The most common type of mouth harp is the diatonic, which has just seven notes. However, there are also chromatic and pentatonic mouth harps, which have more or fewer notes respectively.
To make a mouth harp, a metal strip is first cut to the desired length and width. The strip is then bent into a U-shape and the two ends are welded or soldered together. A metal tongue is then attached to the frame and tuned to the desired pitch.
Mouth harps are relatively easy to play and are popular instruments for both beginners and experienced musicians alike. They are often used in traditional folk music, but can be found in a variety of genres including blues, rock, and country.
What types of music are played on mouth harps
Mouth harps, also known as Jew's harps, are small handheld instruments that are plucked with the teeth and tongue. They produce a twangy sound that can be used for a variety of music genres, including folk, blues, and country.
Who are some famous mouth harpists
Mouth harpists are people who play a type of musical instrument called a mouth harp, or Jew's harp. Mouth harps are small, handheld instruments that have a metal or bamboo reed attached to a frame. The player holds the instrument in their mouth and plucks the reed with their teeth to create sound.
Mouth harps have been around for thousands of years and can be found in many different cultures. Some of the most famous mouth harpists include:
-Kai Nilsen, a Norwegian mouth harpist who is known for his complex and virtuosic playing style.
-Tommy Makem, an Irish folk musician who popularized the mouth harp in the United States.
-Toots Thielemans, a Belgian jazz musician who was one of the first to use the mouth harp on electric guitar.
What techniques are used to play mouth harps
Mouth harps, also known as Jew's harps, are one of the oldest musical instruments in the world. They are played by holding the instrument between the teeth and plucking the string with the thumb. The resulting sound is a vibrating buzz that can be modulated by changing the shape of the mouth cavity.
Mouth harps have been used for centuries for a variety of purposes, including entertainment, religious ceremonies, and healing rituals. In some cultures, mouth harps are still used today. For example, in Mongolia, mouth harps are commonly played at weddings and funerals.
There are many different techniques that can be used to play mouth harps. The most common is to hold the instrument in the mouth and pluck the string with the thumb. However, other techniques include using the tongue or teeth to pluck the string, or using a bow to play the instrument.
Mouth harps can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, bone, metal, and plastic. The type of material used will affect the sound of the instrument. For example, metal mouth harps will produce a brighter sound than those made from wood.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, there's a mouth harp out there that's perfect for you. So get out there and start making some beautiful music!
What is the difference between a mouth harp and a harmonica
There are a few key differences between mouth harps and harmonicas. For one, mouth harps are typically much smaller than harmonicas. They also have only one row of holes, whereas harmonicas usually have two or more. Finally, the way you play a mouth harp is quite different from how you play a harmonica.
Mouth harps, also known as jew's harps, are played by holding the instrument in your mouth and plucking the string with your teeth. The string vibrates against your teeth, which creates the sound. Harmonicas, on the other hand, are played by blowing into the instrument.
So, in summary, the main differences between mouth harps and harmonicas are their size, the number of rows of holes, and the way they are played.
What is the range of a mouth harp
A mouth harp, also known as a Jew's harp, is a small, handheld musical instrument. The mouth harp is played by holding the instrument in the mouth and plucking the flexible metal tongue with the teeth. The tongue vibrates, producing a unique sound.
The range of a mouth harp depends on the size of the instrument and the skill of the player. Smaller instruments have a higher pitch, while larger instruments have a lower pitch. skilled players can produce a wide range of sounds from a single mouth harp.
Mouth harps are used in a variety of musical styles, including folk, blues, and country. The instrument has a long history and can be traced back to ancient China and Europe. Today, mouth harps are enjoyed by people all over the world.

Re-posted from an HVEF! comrade and local activist's petition to ban fracking in the Kalahari -Kgalagadi Wildlife Park
Editors note: While we generally don't promote petitions for their inadequate efficacy, we appreciate our friend's efforts and hope fracking in this unique and bio-diverse area never takes root, by any means necessary)
The Kalahari Desert area, located on the border of Botswana and South Africa, is a rare and fragile ecosystem, home to unusual species such as the cheetah, black-maned Kalahari lion, gemsbok antelope, and pygmy falcon. 36,000 sq km of this ecosystem are contained in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Peace Park on the borders of Botswana and South Africa.
Secretively, and without the knowledge or consent of park officials or scientists, the Botswana government and a UK based company, now known as KAROO energy, engaged in a deal to permit fracking in the park.
Preliminary drilling is now underway. If left to continue, the usual effects of fracking, which include irreparable water, soil & air toxification, as well as heavy traffic & noise pollution, will occur in this dry habitat, now home to these rare species that require large undisturbed areas to feed, breed, and migrate, and will likely lead to the demise and even extinction of these beautiful species.
These species have their own intrinsic rights to live, and their ecosytem is a treasure to be respected & protected for present and future generations. A wildlife park is, and should be, just that, NOT a toxic industrial or mining operation.

The basic nested loop structure looks like this:
int imageIndex = 0;
 for (int column = 0; column < columnCount; column++ {
 // Draw your image here at x position of (column * image width)
 // and y position of (row * image height). Add a bit to each if you
 // want some spacing between your images.
 // For example:
 drawMyImage(images[imageIndex++], column * imageWidth, row * imageHeight);
share|improve this answer
Its simple, use GridView with 3 columns.
share|improve this answer
You need two loops. The outer loop is for the rows. Each element in the row corresponds with a column, so the inner loop is for the columns.

Discover the meanings of thousands of Biblical names in Abarim Publications' Biblical Name Vault: Jeuz
Jeuz meaning
Source: _URL_
🔼The name Jeuz: Summary
Counseling, He Will Counsel
From the verb עוץ ('us), to create inner strength by contemplation.
🔼The name Jeuz in the Bible
The name Jeuz occurs only once in the Bible. Jeuz is mentioned as one of the seven sons of Shaharaim of Benjamin and Hodesh of Moab (1 Chronicles 8:10).
🔼Etymology of the name Jeuz
The name Jeuz is an active form of the verb עוץ ('us) meaning to counsel, regard:
Excerpted from: Abarim Publications' Biblical Dictionary
Verb עצם ('asam) speaks of a skeletal structure that (a) lies hidden beneath an obvious surface, and (b) provides the invisible inner strength that keeps the whole in shape. Noun עצם ('osem) means might or skeleton. Noun עצמה ('osma) means strength. Noun עצם ('esem) means bone but may also be used to refer to one's whole body. Adjective עצום ('asum) means mighty or numerous. Noun תעצמה (ta'asuma) is a plural and intensive form meaning might but a whole lot of it.
Our verb may also mean to shut or close, predominantly of eyes, and presumably in order to review one's inner mental structures. Noun עצמות ('asumot) appears to refer to the "bones" of one's reason, the certainties upon which all creativities are grafted.
Like the previous, the verb עצה ('asa) also means to shut and its sole Biblical occurrence also speaks of closing one's eyes in order to hatch plans in one's heart: to review or form one's inner and structural strength. The very common noun עץ ('es) means tree (whose fruits proverbially show its "heart"). Collectively, trees are known as עצה ('esa). The similar noun עצה ('aseh) describes the backbone of an animal.
Obviously, the Bible is not concerned with the history of political power and solely with the evolution of the wisdom tradition and thus information technology (from cave paintings to the alphabet to blockchain). That means that very few references to wood and trees in the Bible — from the trees of Paradise to Noah's ark, Abraham's oaks, the cedars of Tyre and even the cross of Christ — should be expected to actually be about trees.
Probably a by-form of the previous, the verb עוץ ('us) means to counsel or regard with deep inner contemplation.
🔼Jeuz meaning
For a meaning of the name Jeuz, NOBSE Study Bible Name List reads Counseling and Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names proposes Counsellor. BDB Theological Dictionary does not offer an interpretation of the name Jeuz but does list it under the verb עוץ ('us) meaning to counsel.

Table 6-3 describes the possible arguments you can pass when using f?p syntax.
Table 6-3 f?p Syntax Arguments
Syntax Description
App Indicates an application ID or alphanumeric alias.
Page Indicates a page number or alphanumeric alias.
Session Identifies a session ID. You can reference a session ID to create hypertext links to other pages that maintain the same session state by passing the session number. You can reference the session ID using the syntax:
 - Short substitution string: &SESSION.
 - Bind variable: :APP_SESSION
Request Sets the value of REQUEST. Each application button sets the value of REQUEST to the name of the button. This enables accept processing to reference the name of the button when a user clicks it. You can reference REQUEST using the syntax:
 - Substitution string: &REQUEST.
 - Bind variable: :REQUEST
Debug Displays application processing details. Valid values for the DEBUG flag are YES or NO. Setting this flag to YES displays details about application processing. You can reference the Debug flag using the following syntax:
 - Short substitution string: &DEBUG.
 - PL/SQL: V('DEBUG')
 - Bind variable: :DEBUG
ClearCache Clears cache. Clearing cache for a single item simply sets the value of the list of names to null. To clear cached items, use a comma delimited list of page numbers. Comma delimited lists can also contain collections to be reset or the keyword RP, which resets region pagination on the requested page.
itemNames Comma delimited list of item names used to set session state with a URL.
itemValues List of item values used to set session state within a URL. Item values may not include colons, but may contain commas if enclosed with baskslashes. To pass a comma in an item value, enclose the characters with backslashes. For example:
PrinterFriendly Determines whether the page is being rendered in printer friendly mode. If PrinterFriendly is set to Yes, then the page is rendered in printer friendly mode. The value of PrinterFriendly can be used in rendering conditions to remove elements such as regions from the page to optimize printed output.You can reference the printer friendly preference by using the syntax:
When referenced, the HTML DB engine will not display tabs or navigation bars and all items will be displayed as text and not as form elements.
Although it is important to understand how f?p syntax works, you rarely have to construct this syntax yourself. Oracle HTML DB includes many wizards that automatically create these references for you. The sections that follow describe a number of specific instances that utilize f?p syntax to link pages.
Calling a Page Using an Application and Page Alias
Application and page aliases must consist of valid Oracle identifiers, cannot contain any whitespace, and are not case-sensitive. The following example calls a page using an application and a page alias from within an Oracle HTML DB application. It runs the page home of the application myapp and uses the current session ID.
Application aliases must be unique within a workspace. If applications in different workspaces within the same Oracle HTML DB instance have the same application alias, use the &c argument to specify the workspace name. For example:
Calling a Page from a Button URL
When you create a button, you can specify a URL to redirect to when the user clicks the button. This example runs page 6001 of application 6000 and uses the current session ID.
Note that this is only one approach to using a button in Oracle HTML DB. This method bypasses page submission and acts as a hyperlink on the page. Another method is to submit the page first. In that approach, clicking the button submits the page for processing, allowing forms to be submitted and session state to be saved.

Abstract
Fossil fuel based thermal power or ovens not only exude greenhouse gases and pollutants but transfer enormous amount of waste heat up in air. Heat gets enveloped in the stratosphere and circulate around the earth; escalating global warming. France, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Andorra, Luxembourg, Poland and Germany made it the hottest June on record in 2019. Around 50 coke ovens around Dhanbad are losing and facing closure, with fate of employees doomed. Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board, Dhanbad had been issuing letters to the small-scale refractory and beehive hard coke-ovens to bring down stack gas emissions to below 150mg/Nm3 of suspended particulate matter (SPM), equivalent to the standards of large thermal power plants, deploying electrostatic precipitators (ESP). Some locally made pollution control devices were deployed, but these reduced the chimney draft and coking time increased. Installation of wet scrubbing methods would not be economic and slow down production. With experience as the Manager of a by-product coke oven, the chimney detour method with mechanical exhauster suggested for beehive coke oven. Proposed design not only can generate power, but also trap pollutants by a kind of wet scrubbing and produce byproducts like coal tar. Various associations of small-scale hard coke ovens and refractory industries had approached The Institution of Engineers (India), Dhanbad Local Centre. In this paper, the authors briefly present how waste heat can be converted to power, while absorbing pollutants in hydraulic main in the unique chimney detour method and producing coal tar, exuding clean gas.

(IBList user synopsis):
Shaw originally gave Misalliance the subtitle, "A Debate in One Sitting." It is set in the Surrey home of the Tarleton family, who over the course of one spring day in 1909 are visited by daughter Hypatia's fiancee and his father, a daredevil aviator, a headstrong young Polish woman, and an intruder. Everyone has something to say about courtship, marriage, the sexes, and social conventions... and say it they do in an interminably talky play that showcases what has become known as Shavian wit. Although Misalliance was one of Shaw's flops, its social criticism takes aim at many of the same targets of his better-known works.

Native to high altitudes in the Southwest and Rocky Mountain states, the root of the osha plant is a traditional Native American remedy for respiratory infections and digestive problems. A related plant, Ligusticum wallichii, has a long history of use in Chinese medicine, and most of the scientific studies on osha were actually performed on this species.
What Is Osha Used for Today?
Osha is frequently recommended for use at the first sign of a respiratory infection. Like a sauna, it will typically induce sweating, and according to folk wisdom this may help avert the development of a full-blown cold. Osha is also taken during respiratory infections as a cough suppressant and expectorant, hence the common name "Colorado cough root." However, there have not been any double-blind placebo-controlled studies to verify these proposed uses. (For information on why double-blind studies are so important, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies? ),
Like other bitter herbs, osha is said to improve symptoms of indigestion and increase appetite.
Osha products vary in their concentration and should be taken according to directions on the label.
Osha is believed to be safe, although the scientific record is far from complete. Traditionally, it is not recommended for use in pregnancy. Safety in young children, nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease has also not been established.

text: In this paper, the effects of rotation on the distribution of a layer of oil on a bearing raceway are analyzed in relation to the geometry of the raceway. The research is motivated by the need to understand the behavior of grease lubricated bearings. Some specific aspects of grease lubrication can be understood by approximating the contact as a starved lubricated elastohydrodynamic lubrication contact. In such a contact, the shape and thickness of the inlet layer of oil, supplied to the contact on the running track, are of crucial importance to the film formation and contact performance. Small changes in the distribution of lubricant on the rolling track, as a result of reflow or redistribution, may have a large (local) effect on the film thickness inside the contact. Starting from the Navier–Stokes equations, the free surface thin layer flow equation for axisymmetric rotating surfaces is derived. For the case of bearing applications, it is shown that a simple quasilinear equation can be derived for the layer thickness, as a function of location and time, which can be solved analytically. Experiments have been carried out, measuring the changes of a layer of oil on rotating raceways in time in relation to the rotational speed and the raceway geometry. It is shown that the simplified model accurately predicts the thin layer flow, except in a region near the outflow boundary, where the effect of the boundary condition on the layer shape is crucial. This is further illustrated by results of numerical simulations.

To investigate the effect of oxygen on the titanium oxide formation in V-4Cr-4Ti during heat treatment and also under irradiation, oxygen was gettered by Zr foils. After annealing and copper ion irradiation at different temperatures, the microstructure was investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Titanium oxides were detected by annealing between 973 and 1173 K, but the number density and size of the oxides decreased with the oxygen concentration. The temperature range corresponds to the temperature where long-range migration of titanium will occur. Ion irradiation revealed that residual oxygen atoms are very effective to titanium oxide precipitates formation in the temperature range of 773-973 K.

Riding, camping, and resupply are the daily routine on the Baja Divide. In most of Baja, resources are limited, although the route is designed to be ridden self-supported. Most sections of the route are defined by access to a paved road and major resupply points at either end, while a motel and a bus station are also common in larger towns. Daily mileage is shaped by resupply needs; in some places it may be required to ride longer days to reach a water source. Riding speeds will also vary greatly as the terrain changes, and winter days are short. As such, average daily distances will range from 35-45 miles for most riders with some longer days when resupply strategies require.
Free camping is possible on most of the route and is one of the highlights of traveling in Baja. Desert nights are cool and dry, although winter nights along the Pacific coast and in the Northern Sierra can be cold and moist, and lightly freezing temperatures are possible. Many nights may be enjoyed under the stars, although a simple shelter is useful. Rain is infrequent, but possible, while consistent and strong winds are not uncommon in Baja. There are very few free camping possibilities between San Diego and Tecate.
There are several strategies when selecting a shelter. A lightweight doublewall backpacking tent provides the best protection against wind and rain. Considering that the tent may not be required every night, a compact and lightweight package is important, yet the ability to withstand strong wind is part of what makes a tent valuable in Baja. At least half of the stakes for any shelter should be an oversized sand/snow specific model, such as the MSR Blizzard stakes. Tents we recommend include Big Agnes Seedhouse SL2, the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL series, and the MSR Hubba Hubba NX. There are lighter models from both manufacturers, but their ability to resist strong winds is compromised.
Single wall tents and tarps are also a good option. These designs feature minimal packed weight and volume, although they are not freestanding designs and require careful staking. Pyramid shaped tents provide a high ratio of internal space to packed size and weight. We recommend several models from Tarptent including the Double Rainbow, as well as the Hyperlite Mountain Gear Ultramid 2 and the pyramid Black Diamond Mega Light.
A bivy may be a suitable choice for anyone traveling alone that appreciates an ultralight system, and enjoys sleeping out on most nights. It's an emergency shelter that greatly reduces packed weight and size, but is not a comfortable place to spend a night in bad weather. A bivy is prone to developing condensation, moreso when it rains. We recommend the full-featured Outdoor Research Helium and Aurora bivies, the Mountain Laurel Designs FKT Soul, and the minimalist Montbell Breeze Dry-Tec and a number of minimalist models from SOL.
A lightweight sleep system and shelter is essential, to leave room for food and water on the bike. A summer weight sleeping bag rated 30-35°F is adequate and a high quality down bag in this range will be extremely light and small when packed. Sleeping pads are largely a personal preference and almost any pad will provide adequate ground insulation in this temperature range. Keep in mind, however, that many ultralight inflatable pads may be prone to puncture in Baja. Use a durable groundcloth, select campsites carefully, and consider bringing a patch kit. Foam pads are a safe bet in the desert if you can find a convenient way to pack one on the bike. We recommend the Western Mountaineering SummerLite and HighLite, both of which are the lightest full-featured sleeping bags in their category and are very well made in the USA.
While camping is easy along most of the route, site selection should consider drainage patterns if rain is likely, and prevailing wind patterns. Baja is safe and it is not unusual to be seen camping in the desert. If you are unsure where to camp, ask locally. Finally, limit the impact of your visit by using existing campsites, turnoffs, and clearings. Carry all of your trash out of the backcountry, no matter how many Tecate cans and Coke bottles you see by the roadside. Bury all of your shit. The deserts in Baja are vast yet sensitive, and face massive strain from ranching, off-highway vehicular activity, and us. Plants in the desert grow slowly. Respect the people and the land.
Hotels are available frequently along the route, although camping equipment is required to complete the route. Rates range from $15-35 dollars per night: services are simple, cold showers are not common, wifi is often available, while more upscale accommodations are available in touristic areas. Hotels or lodging are available in: San Diego, Tecate, Ojos Negros, Colonet, El Coyote/Rancho Meling, Vicente Guerrero, San Quintín, Cataviña, Santa Rosalillita, Rosarito, Bahía de los Ángeles, Rancho Escondido (El Progresso), Rancho Piedra Blanca, Vizcaíno, San Ignacio, Mulegé, San Miguel de Comondú, Ciudad Constitución, La Paz, Los Barriles, La Ribera, Cabo Pulmo, San José del Cabo, Todos Santos, and El Triunfo.
Clothing needs are minimal. Winter weather in Baja is generally warm and dry. Use this to your advantage to pack light, leaving room for necessary food and water. During most days, shorts and a t-shirt will suffice for riding equipment. A waterproof shell and long underwear top and bottom layers are nice for cold nights and cool days. An extra pair of warm socks, a light pair of gloves, and a down vest are a few items that might be nice. Find what works for you, but don't bring everything. Commit to one pair of shoes that are comfortable to walk and ride in. Protect yourself from sun exposure. Consider using sunscreen and a helmet with a visor.
Water defines the way you travel in Baja. Purified water is available from purificadas in cities or from small purification stations within stores in small towns. Bottled water is available for purchase at all stores. Surface water is not widely available on the route except in a few mountainous sections where it may lessen the requirement to carry water on the bike. Bring the smallest possible water purification system that you are comfortable using, as you won't use it frequently, or don't bring one at all and commit to carrying all of your water between resupply points. Chemical treatment tablets or a Steripen should suffice, in-line gravity filters are also a good choice. The best way to carry water includes a combination of bottles and bladders or a hydration pack. 4-6 liters of water is typical for most sections of the route. However, longer sections require 8-12 liters. In the backcountry, locals rely on wells and surface water, and in some places locals rely on water that is delivered by truck. Their resources are limited and riders should not expect to rely on their supply, except in an emergency.
Food is available almost as frequently as water along the route, although carrying several days of food poses less of a challenge. Carrying 2-3 three days of food is reasonable, while the equivalent amount of water– which would weigh up to 40lbs– is not. Tortillas, cheese, packaged beans, vegetables, fruits, canned fish, machaca (dried shredded beef), chips, cookies and nuts are foods common in small stores on the route. Prepared specialities include tacos, ceviche, pan dulce, and hard cheeses such as cotija. Plan some time in towns to enjoy eating out in the evening. Usually the busiest street vendor is the best.
If you choose to bring a stove, some types of fuel are hard to find. Gasoline is the only reliable fuel source and is available at government-run Pemex gas station, alcohol is found in some cities in paint stores and pharmacies (ask for alcohol industrial in paint/hardware stores, pharmacies sell a low-strength topical ethanol), while isobutane-propane canisters are non-existent. A small wood burning stove might be useful given the amount of small, dry biomass in the desert. Due to these limitations we have traveled in Baja without a stove, enjoying fresh tortillas, cheese, beans, and sliced fresh vegetables for many meals. During the day we often snack on nuts, chips, fruit and packaged cookies. If carrying a stove, rice, lentils, oats, and noodles are commonly available. Supermarkets in the largest towns along the route are very well-stocked, much like in the USA or Europe.
Traveling in Baja is fairly inexpensive. Expenses include food, water and the occasional hotel if you choose. Groceries are about half the price of the US, tacos cost a dollar or less, hotels range from $15-$35 and camping is free most of the time. A typical budget would be about $20 per day if you occasionally stay inside and buy your friends a beer, but it would be easy to spend less than $10 per day. Water is an expense which must be considered, purified water is much cheaper than bottled water.
A GPS device is required for navigation. Route cues are not published and would be impossible to produce, as most roads on the route are unnamed and unsigned, while a few are barely known to locals. Preferred devices include the handheld Garmin eTrex series and the cycling-specific Garmin Edge, while smartphones offer competitive functionality, if enough power is available.
The eTrex 20 is simple, rugged, inexpensive

The History of the Ukulele
Hawaii is a true melting pot of many ethnicities. They range from those with Hawaiian ancestry, from Asian backgrounds as well as those from Europe, including Portugal. During the late 19th century, men and women immigrated from the Portuguese islands of Madeira and Azores to the Hawaiian Islands. This migration lasted from 1878 to 1913, bringing many of the Portuguese influences evident in Hawaii today. Some of these items have become iconic aspects of Hawaiian culture, whether it is in food, customs or music. One of icons is the ukulele. Here is an overview of the history of the ukulele.
History of the Ukulele in Hawaii
The history of the ukulele in Hawaii is a colorful one. Most people associate the ukulele with Hawaii's island-culture, without knowing the instrument's true origin. According to one version of the history, the ukulele made its first appearance in Hawaii in 1879. This occurred with a new immigrant from Madeira, named Joao Fernandes. His arrival in Hawaii made him so happy that he began playing a braguinha as soon as he was off the boat. The braguinha was a precursor to the ukulele. His joyful playing and the way his fingers danced up and down the strings astounded onlookers. As a result, they began to refer to the instrument as the "jumping flea." The word ukulele itself comes from the Hawaiian words uku, meaning gift or reward, and lele, meaning to come.
Types of Ukuleles
The beautifully crafted instruments are in the guitar family. Although they are usually strung with four nylon strings instead of customary six steel strings on a regular guitar. Ukulele makers typically make the instrument from the native Hawaiian koa tree, mango, mahogany, cedar, redwood or spruce.
There are four main kinds of ukuleles, ranging from smallest to largest. The soprano is the most common. The concert is popular for live performances. Musicians typically play the tenor in acoustic or recording sessions. While others play the baritone where deeper tones are needed. Most ukuleles have 4 strings, although there can be as many as 10 or 12 on some variations of the instrument.
The Popularity of the Ukulele
King David Kalakaua popularized the instrument in the late 19th century by learning to play it himself. He also did this by encouraging the playing of ukuleles during hula dances and royal ceremonies. Because of its popularity, three men from Madeira named Augusto Dias, Jose de Santos, and Manuel Nunes, opened up a ukulele shop in Honolulu. Their beautiful ukuleles would sell for about $5 apiece. As Hawaii was becoming a hub of travel and trade, stores soon began selling ukuleles on the mainland US and elsewhere.
Although ukuleles have fluctuated in popularity, you can still hear them in jazz music, romantic songs and even film soundtracks. Ukulele performers from Hawaii have found a new and appreciative international audience. Hawaii-born Jake Shimabukuro is probably the most famous guitar virtuoso in the world today. He has been featured in many worldwide concerts as well as on the national media. While they are now manufactured worldwide, the origin and sound of ukuleles are still associated with Hawaii.
The Ukulele Today
The history of the ukulele in Hawaii and its legacy continue to flourish. Today, you can hear ukuleles in Hawaiian hula dances, at Hawaiian weddings or at the beach. During every July on Oahu, music lovers celebrate these iconic instruments at the annual Ukulele Festival. The festival offers hours of open-air ukulele concerts, authentic Hawaiian food booths, ukulele displays, lessons and even free instrument giveaways. Tourists and Hawaii residents unite to celebrate a mutual love of music and Hawaiian culture.
One of the most notable moments of the events occurs when nearly 800 young students play in a stunning ukulele orchestra. Families planning a trip to Hawaii should consider going to Oahu in July during this festival. This is because this is an unforgettable way for children to expand their knowledge of these beautiful instruments. One of the most beautiful aspects of Hawaiian culture is the music. So for many, there is no sound more soothing than the melodious strumming of a ukulele.

A photothermal laser interferometric system is described that has sufficient sensitivity to allow the detection of the hydrazines: hydrazine, monomethylhydrazine, and unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine at part per billion concentrations. A line tunable CO2 laser excites the trace hydrazine molecules in one arm of a modified Jamin interferometer illuminated with a single frequency He–Ne laser. The CO2 laser beam intersects one of the He–Ne beams in the interferometer at a small angle, so there is no interaction of the IR and visible laser beams at any optical components in the system. The system operates with computer control of interferometer alignment, CO2 excitation laser tuning, and data acquisition.

This study investigates the effectiveness of using laterally oriented zinc oxide (ZnO) nanosheets (NSs) grown by the hydrothermal growth (HTG) method for relative humidity (RH) sensing at room temperature (RT). A sensing response (R12%/R96%) at RT of as high as 220, good sensing linearity in the range of 12-96% RH, a fast sensing response time of as low as 600 s, and a recovery time of 3 s are achieved. Compared to conventional ZnO-nanowire-based humidity sensors, a 100-fold improvement in the sensing response at RT was obtained, which is mainly attributed to the ZnO NSs having a much higher surface-to-volume ratio and a porous-like surface.

Construction has begun! 27 year-8 and year-9 students started their journey to building their very own powered glider. Today students looked at how wings are designed on planes and gliders, how lift and centre of gravity are integral in the flight of a glider before constructing a prototype glider and testing them.
Students improved their design by changing the design of the wings, shifting the centre of gravity of their prototype and adjusting the ailerons for that perfect lift and flight. Glider prototypes were entered into a competition at the end of the session for the longest flight and one team; Ethan and Noah achieved the longest flight. Well done to both of them. I would like to thank Mrs Bell for cooking the pizza halfway through the session to keep our strength up and to Mr Stewart for pulling his sleeves up and helping students with their prototype build. Here's to the next few weeks as we head towards the trust glider competition.

that it can balance out the ends we will not be able to achieve after giving up 3 of B. The ends we now achieve with one extra A are the most valuable ones remaining that can be achieved with A. The ends that are not any more achieved with the B we lost are the least valued ones that were being achieved with B. That is, when we lose means, we don't stop doing the thing we value most with them – we stop doing the thing we value least (at the margin). (This is fairly important, so let me restate it – when we gain a unit of a good, we satisfy our next-most valuable end, which, compared to the ends we are already achieving, is the least-valued one overall; when we lose a unit of a good, we stop doing the least valuable thing we were doing using that type of good; these two facts can be understood intuitively if we consider a quick example. If I have 10 units of a good and I am given an 11th one, that 11th one will achieve an end that is valued less than every other end my previous 10 units were achieving. Now, if that 11th one is taken away, I will lose, once again, the least valued end that I was able to achieve.)
So what happens next? How do we put another point of the indifference curve? Well, consider two more possible points – points S and T in Figure 4:
Let's try to predict which one of the two is likely to be the next point. We know that moving from M to N, we gained 1 A. We know that if we were to gain one more A, we would be able to satisfy another end with A. But this one would be valued less than the previous ones satisfied with A. Furthermore, remember that from M to N we lost 3 of B. We lost the ability to achieve the least-valued things we were able to before with B. If we were to lose even more of B, we would have to start giving up ends that are more and more valuable. So A is becoming less and less valuable, while B is becoming more and more valuable (given the ends we can achieve with each of them). Therefore, if we were offered 1 more of A, we would be willing to give up less of B than we were before.
As a real world example, imagine that A and B are bread and water, respectively. At point M, I was able to eat just a little bit of bread, but I had a lot of water – enough to use water to drink, to flush the toilet, to clean the house, to water my garden, to wash my car, and to use as sprinklers for my little cousins to play in. If someone offered to give me one more loaf bread, I would be willing to give up a bunch of water to gain it, even though I would have to give up, say, the sprinklers and the car wash. If someone were to give me yet another loaf, I would value it less, since I'm less hungry at this point, so I would be willing to give up less water than before. The water I am now giving up is more valuable than the water I gave up before, since now I have to give up washing my house, and washing my house was decently valuable to me. If someone wanted to once again give me one more loaf of bread, I would be even less willing to part with my water, because I am beginning to eat into the water that I would be using to flush the toilet. We see, then, that when I have to trade off bread for water, the more bread I acquire, the less willing I am to part with my remaining water for more bread. Why? Because the bread is satisfying ends that are less and less urgent, and the remaining water I have is satisfying the very most important things to me.
The graph of the indifference curve has to reflect this. So we know that from M to N I got 1 A for 3 B. For the next 1 of A that I gain, I will be willing to give up less than 3 of B. Maybe this time I will give up only 2 of B. Which point – S or T – satisfies this fact?
Here are the points once again in Figure 5, this time with the distances in question emphasized:
If I move from N to T, it is apparent that I will be gaining 1 of A at the expense of more than 3 of B. If, on the other hand, I move from N to S, I will be giving up less than 3 of B. S satisfies the deduction we went through earlier, so S is the next point on the indifference curve. If we connect the points on the same curve, we get the bowed-in shape. Using the same logic, we can deduce that all the points on the indifference curve will form a bowed-in curve, seen in Figure 6:
Now, whether it is very bowed in or not very much bowed in depends on the specific preferences of the consumers, yet the bowed in shape is retained. And this concludes our definitive explanation of why indifference curves are shaped the way they are.
Other critiques of the undergraduate approach to economics include the lack of emphasis on mutually-beneficial terms of trade and on the fact that trade involves goods that are not of equal value.
A voluntary trade being mutually-beneficial (that is, beneficial for both sides) stems from the fact that if it weren't, then it would never take place. Given that a trade occurs, it can be inferred that both parties expect to benefit.
The second point is that for a trade to take place, a person must value what the other person has more than he (the same person) values what he himself has (this is called an inverse valuation of goods). As such, he is giving away something of lesser value and gaining something of greater value. The same holds for the person with whom he is trading – lesser value for greater value. If this sounds paradoxical, it's because the subjective theory of value has not been internalized: value is subjective – it is entirely dependent on the individual and what her desires are. As such, it is entirely possible for both people in a trade to be giving away something they want less and gaining something they value more. In fact, this is exactly what happens when a trade is voluntary. As such, trade creates wealth for both sides.
Both of these points do in fact appear in intermediate neoclassical theory. However, they are only minor features of the models presented and can be missed entirely if not pointed out – they are not at all obvious when a student is given two equations and told to solve them. These concepts should instead be front and center in introductory and intermediate courses, and not a mere byproduct of the model. They are, indeed, what drives the model. In favor of appearing to be rigorous by using high-level math, we are neglecting the central ideas in economics. Indeed, when economists Ferraro and Taylor went to a major economics conference and asked a large number of economics students and PhDs an introductory-level question about a concept (opportunity cost) instead of an equation, almost eighty percent of them got it wrong.
I have tried to show in this article the importance of the means-ends framework in economic analysis. The mainstream approach of indifference curves deemphasizes important aspects of human action that should instead be underlined. Humans constantly use various means to achieve ends – thereby becoming better off. The occurrence of a voluntary trade implies that both parties are better off, and both parties trade away something they value relatively less than what they gain. Understanding these core principles of economics is vital to grasping the importance and relevance of markets.

 To be fair, there is a way to interpret the question so that it actually turns out to be a relatively valid question. Namely, "could non-binding price floors have a general equilibrium effect on equilibrium prices?" It's easiest to explain what this means through an example. Imagine that the government set the minimum wage at $50/hour tomorrow. If enforced, there would be massive unemployment of every wage earner who produces below that level – since their labor would literally be made illegal. Now, the question is whether this minimum wage would have an effect on wages above $50; for example, on the wages of people who earn $60/hour. The simplest analysis (partial equilibrium) would answer in the negative, pointing out that $60 is already above $50. However, general equilibrium (taking into account all the different markets in the economy) might yield a different result. Since the people who get paid $60/hour rely on the products produced by lower-paid workers as inputs for their own production processes, they would no longer be able to sustain the same level of productivity. As a result, their wages would drop accordingly. For example, a person who cuts and polishes jewels would likely lose his entire wage if all the people who mine jewels were suddenly put out of work

Quick Answer: Are Potatoes Good For Your Stomach?
What food makes your stomach feel better?
What are potatoes good for?
Potatoes are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which make them very healthy. Studies have linked potatoes and their nutrients to a variety of impressive health benefits, including improved blood sugar control, reduced heart disease risk and higher immunity.
How long does it take to digest a potato?
Root vegetables, excluding potatoes, like beetroot, carrot and parsnip digest in 50 minutes. Starchy vegetables such as butternut, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and chestnuts digest in 60 minutes.
What are the side effects of eating potatoes?
It is LIKELY UNSAFE to eat damaged potatoes, green potatoes, and sprouts. These can contain poisonous chemicals that cannot be destroyed by cooking. These poisonous chemicals can cause sweating, headache, flushing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, thirst, restlessness, and even death.
Do potatoes make you poop?
Potato Salad Cooled potatoes have fiber and a lot of something called "resistant starch." This "resists" digestion, and some of it ends up in your large intestine, where it helps good bacteria grow.
What food takes the longest to digest?
Meat and fish can take as long as 2 days to fully digest. The proteins and fats they contain are complex molecules that take longer for your body to pull apart. By contrast, fruits and vegetables, which are high in fiber, can move through your system in less than a day.

Locations
A location is the relation between a soil profile and an Ident of the pipeline project. Once a soil profile gets assigned to a place on the pipeline, all necessary information should be available for calculation of the soil mechanical values at that point.
One can assign a soil profile as continuous to a specific Ident or discontinuous. For a discontinuous assignment one can assign a soil profile up to the Ident and one just after the Ident.

TASK #1 – Define the Class
Write a class called ServerGroup, which will be a simple custom-made data structure. It will be special-purpose,
so it is NOT a template.
It is used to represent serving people waiting in a line.
The private section will have a pointer to a
dynamic integer array called servers,
an integer variable called spServer, and an integer variable called freeServer.
It will also be useful to have a variable representing the size of the array (number of elements).
The following member functions should be in the class:
-the constructor, which passes an integer into the function
that is used to set the number of elements in the array (representing the number of general-purpose servers).
It also sets the elements in the array to 0 and spServer to 0.
-A function called spServerFree, that will
return true if SpServer is 0 and false otherwise (this represents the number of clock ticks until the special-purpose server is free;
if the integer is 0, the server is already free).
-A function called serverFree, that returns true
if it finds a 0 in the array and a false otherwise (these integers also represent the number of clock ticks
until the corresponding servers are free).
If it finds a 0 in the array, it will set freeServer to the index of that element
(freeServer has the index of one of the servers that are free).
-A function called useServer that passes in an integer parameter,
avTransTime, and set servers[freeServer] to avTransTime (avTransTime is the average transaction time, in clock ticks, to server a person in the line).
A function called usespServer, that will pass in an integer parameter,
avTransTime, and set spServer to avTransTime (this is the same function as d) except that it is for the special-purpose servers where d) is for general purpose servers).
-A function called decServers, that will decrement spServer by 1, unless spServer is already 0.
If it is 0, it stays the same.
The decServers function will also decrement
each element in the array by 1, unless the element is already 0.
For example, if the array is 0 5 6 0 0 10,
then after decServers is called,
the array is 0 4 5 0 0 9 (this is called when a click tick of time elapses).
Place the class files in files with appropriate names (i.e., ServerGroup.h and ServerGroup.cpp)
TASK #2 – Test the Class
You are to implement a program that uses the ServerGroup class.
It should create a ServerGroup object, and then call all of the functions.
The best way to do it is to write a temporary print function in the class to print out the values of the array and the other private values.
When you know it works, just comment out this function (do not delete it!)

Why store cookbooks on cookbooks and other cooking tools and equipment? What are the benefits of having your Sperry about different cuisines?
There is something special about a well-written recipe book that a chef can use for cooking their household's daily intake of food. It is one special ingredient for their preparation. Such a simple paperback has become a great help for their food to indeed come to life.
Cookbooks are not expensive to buy, but they do take time to research and create. A good cookbook can teach a beginner how to use a piece of equipment that one may have never used before. It is the measures of spices and time measured for heating meat that will make a world of difference to the taste of one's dish. Anybody can purchase compendiums with recipes in them for every dish imaginable. With finding even a sole cookbook, it already has an assortment of exotic dishes. The Kitchener will have a wide variety of exciting recipes to prepare.
With the overwhelming modernization caused both by the Internet and contemporary technologies, the popularity of recipe hardcopies is becoming outdated. Most people don't know that cookbooks are one of the significant investments they will ever make.
Inducting in these books will help individuals have vast cuisine choices, cook and cookware, and other equipment to use. It also adds a thorough knowledge of the history of cooking from a particular vibrant country.
Through learning new histories by only a simple dish, that person who used to hate cooking at home will love eventually loves even just the thought of it. Plus, they will also appreciate knowing that the value of cooking and the apparatus they use. Finally, the importance of organizing and adorning the cooking area will append into their awareness.
To help homeowners to store their cookbooks within their versatile kitchen, the notorious kitchen cabinet refacing San Clemente and kitchen cabinet refacing Santa Ana company created an infographic with all the helpful tips of the best ways of hoarding recipe books:

Nonlinear Rayleigh waves propagating in a substrate coated with a thin elastic film are studied numerically. The evolution model consists of the nonlinear spectral equations of Zabolotskaya [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 91, 2569-2575 (1992)] augmented ad hoc to include film dispersion. The dispersion relation is obtained from linear theory but is otherwise exact. Both loading and stiffening films are considered. Computations are performed for nonlinear evolution of an initially sinusoidal Rayleigh wave under three distinct dispersion regimes corresponding to different film thicknesses. The validity of the evolution model is also examined.

Fuel economy: Windows down or air con on, which is better?
Image of Chris Evans
Author: | Updated: 02 Jun 2021 16:56
The UK summer has been as unpredictable as ever so far, but with temperatures soaring right now, what's really the best to keep cool in the car as you take advantage of the lockdown restrictions easing? Should you open your windows or turn on the air con?
It's a question that many drivers have pondered over the years, with many of you may already be aware there's apparently a magic number to take into account when it comes to deciding which is a more efficient way to keep cool; 45mph.
The Smart Climate menu in the new Volkswagen Golf
Below this speed it makes sense to open your windows to let a breeze. Above this speed, the drag effect of the windows being open, begins to make it more fuel efficient to shut them in favour of switching on the air con.
This advice is based on the results of a 2004 study by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), which studied the impact of windows open vs. A/C in large saloons and sports utility vehicles.
Guideline advice
There are plenty of variables that this study couldn't have accounted for such as: how much the windows are open by, the aerodynamics of different car models, how long someone might use their air con for (as some use might only use it for a short blast) and the option of using the fan without turning on the air con. It's also not the most recent research.
As such, the 45mph figure is a guide, but a fairly good one. While all this might seem like a minor issue, getting it wrong can have a notable impact on your fuel economy; using AC can increase your fuel consumption by as much as 10% but opening the windows at higher speeds can increase fuel consumption by as much as 20%.
Mythbusters also took a stab at answering the question, finding in favour of windows down being more fuel efficient.
Meanwhile, another study has revealed that hybrid car fuel economy is harder hit by air con use than conventional combustion-only cars.
In a study by Emissions Analytics, it was found that the impact of AC on hybrid fuel economy was almost twice as much, with fuel efficiency dropping 6.1% in a hybrid car on average, compared to just 3.8% for standard petrol car and 4.6% for a diesel. This might be something worth bearing in mind, if you drive a hybrid.
What about air pollution?
The windows v air con debate isn't just about working out which is more fuel efficient. It is also worth considering your exposure to air pollution. While the 45mph line is a good guide, things get a bit more complicated when you are in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
In these situations, it is probably best to avoid using air con or opening your windows. However we know that in hot conditions that might be uncomfortable, so as a solution you could turn on the air con but close your air vents, so the air con merely recycles the cabin air rather than drawing the air from outside, where there is nose-to-tail line of traffic all belching out exhaust fumes.
What's else can I do?
There are old-fashioned ways too that you could consider to keep your car cooler too, such as trying to park in the shade or in a garage, opting for tinted windows or heat deflectors or just using a fan to keep cool.
What's best for fuel consumption?
There might be purist among you who think that the very notion of air con in cars in this country is a crime against fuel efficiency but we know that for many Brits, air con is now just a standard feature they expect to find – and be able to use – all we'd say is use it wisely and sparingly and you can stay cool without burning a hole in your wallet.
We could go into the environmental impact of various AC systems and the refrigerant gases they use, but that is probably for another article.
In most driving conditions though, apart from on the motorway, it's likely that a crack in the window, will work better for you than turning on the AC, but the choice is of course, yours.

The Communication Technology Laboratory of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology has developed a way to reduce both complexity and power consumption of MIMO systems by using nonlinear detection methods. There method is known as low-cost approaches to receiver design, since they can be implemented with much simpler and more energy-efficient circuitry. According to the report, phase detectors are not prone to system nonlinearities, since amplitude carries no information, while amplitude detection can be simply implemented using an envelope detector, thus avoiding the power consuming down-conversion.
Conventional MIMO systems studied so far by the group strictly employ linear receivers, meaning that an I/Q demodulator yields a complex baseband received signal. Their linearity property is attractive since it enables mathematical tracking. Their work considers the combination of nonlinear receivers and MIMO systems, whereas the nonlinear nature of such systems introduces certain idiosyncrasies, apart from the aforementioned advantages. Mathematical tractability according to them is not straight-forward anymore, while most known results/observations for linear MIMO systems are no more valid.
This technology by the communication group is especially lucrative for systems that require high numbers of very low-cost and low-power devices with Sensor networks as a typical example of their application. The very low cost and long lifetime of sensor nodes is very critical in such systems. Another, example is RFID tagging systems. As technology advances, it is possible to build more complicated tags, while at the same time the demand for higher data rates increases. Furthermore, as carrier frequencies continue to increase up to and beyond 60 GHz, practical implementation of receivers becomes very cumbersome, while nonlinear reception offers a means to circumvent such problems. In general, nonlinear MIMO systems are relevant in a future environment where wireless access is enabled by an ubiquitous network of sensors and nodes. Their work on nonlinear MIMO systems has led to the implementation of the sMILE test bed. This is the first MIMO test bed that employs envelope detectors at the receiver.

Memory encoding following complete callosotomy

Abstract
Three patients with complete resection of the corpus callosum were tested in a series of memory tasks to determine the effects of callosotomy on the encoding and retrieval of information in memory. Verbal and pictorial conjunction tests were administered to measure patients' ability to consolidate the elements of a stimulus into an accurate composite memory. Patients were also tested in a paired-associate learning task to determine the consequences of callosotomy on the encoding and retrieval of associations between stimuli. Although callosotomy patients were unimpaired in the verbal conjunction task, results from both the pictorial conjunction task and the paired-associate learning task suggest that the absence of callosal cross-talk impairs encoding in these patients. In addition, the pattern of results in the paired-associate learning task suggests that callosotomy impairs retrieval processes. The role of the callosum in the formation of memory traces for nonverbal material and associations between verbal stimuli is discussed.

How to Replace the Motor Pulley in a Maytag Dryer
Maytag automatic dryers use a motor pulley system to control the movement of the tumbler drum. A belt connects to the pulley system and wraps around the drum. Each Maytag dryer model uses the same type of motor pulley system. If the pulley becomes damaged, the belt will not connect properly, preventing the drum from rotating. Replace a faulty motor pulley to keep a Maytag dryer operating properly.
 1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket. Remove the pair of screws located along the bottom of the front panel.
 2. Lift the front panel straight up to disconnect it from the Maytag dryer.
 3. Disconnect the electrical connector leading to the door switch. Set the front panel aside.
 4. Remove the screws connecting the shroud cover to the dryer cabinet. The shroud cover is a metal object directly in front of the drum. Lift the shroud cover out of the dryer cabinet.
 5. Pull the idler pulley toward the front of the dryer to loosen the belt. Slide the belt off the motor pulley.
 6. Loosen the screws holding the motor pulley in place. Remove the motor pulley from the dryer.
 7. Position the new motor pulley into the dryer cabinet. Connect the screws that hold it in place.
 8. Position the belt around the new motor pulley. Push the idler pulley toward the rear of the dryer to tighten the belt.
 9. Replace the shroud cover inside the Maytag dryer. Connect the screws securing it to the cabinet.
 10. Replace the front panel. Connect the door switch connector into its socket. Install the screws on the bottom of the front panel.

Industry-exclusive Articulated Truck Steering
Fast, accurate cornering decreases cycle times by five percent, increasing productivity while ensuring maximum safety and unsurpassed traction for high speed hauling. Volvo's industry-exclusive steering system allows the body to always monitor the tractor unit so the operator doesn't have to correct for steering adjustments typically found in traditional articulated truck steering system.
Advantages of Volvo Steering
Volvo articulated trucks function with precision throughout the life of the articulated hauler, maximizing production and safe high speed operations. The centering steering value ensures a smooth, steady automotive "feel" to the system. Ultimately, the hydromechanics are easy to steer, even at low engine speeds and in tough off-road conditions.
 - Self-compensating, precision steering
 - Maximizes productivity
 - Outstanding operator control
 - Increased safety at high speeds
Components of Steering
A mechanical feedback rod connects to the hitch at one end, and the steering valve at the other. This centers the steering valve after any steering movement. The steering linkage joins the rack and pinion to ensure the steering angle is proportional to the number of turns of the steering wheel.
