Configuring a Jenkins job to deploy to a Kubernetes cluster can be achieved through the following steps:
 1. Install the Kubernetes plugin in Jenkins. This can be done by navigating to "Manage Jenkins" > "Manage Plugins" > "Available" tab, and search for "Kubernetes Plugin". Install the plugin and restart Jenkins if prompted.
 2. Create a Kubernetes cluster if you haven't already done so. This can be done using a cloud provider, such as Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure, or by setting up a local cluster using Minikube.
 3. Create a Kubernetes service account with sufficient permissions to deploy to your Kubernetes cluster. You can create this by creating a YAML file with the required permissions and using the kubectl create command to create the service account.
 4. Configure your Jenkins job to use the Kubernetes plugin. To do this, navigate to your Jenkins job's configuration page, and add a new "Kubernetes Deployment" post-build step. In the configuration, specify the Kubernetes cluster details, the Kubernetes namespace, the service account credentials, and the YAML file that describes the deployment.
 5. Configure the deployment YAML file. This file should describe the Kubernetes deployment, including the container image to be deployed, the number of replicas, and any other necessary details.
 6. Run the Jenkins job to deploy to your Kubernetes cluster. Once your Jenkins job is configured and your deployment YAML file is ready, you can run your job to deploy your application to your Kubernetes cluster.
By following these steps, you can configure a Jenkins job to deploy to a Kubernetes cluster.

This Jewish Coney Island "Incubator Doctor" Saved Thousands of Premature Babies
If you were born poor and premature in early 20th-century New York City, your chances for survival were slim. Few American hospitals had incubators, and the mortality rate for preemies was staggering.
A young Jewish entrepreneur masquerading as a doctor stepped in to fill that gap. Born Michael Cohen in a small town called Krotoszyn in what is now Poland, the heavily accented immigrant convinced parents and top physicians around New York City to entrust newborn feeble infants to his care—all the way out at the southern tip of Brooklyn. Under the clamoring crowds who flocked to Coney Island for freak shows and ocean-side entertainment, over 6,500 infants thrived under the care of a man calling himself Dr. Martin Couney.
And remarkably, the families did not have to spend a dime on their babies' care—all expenses were covered by entree fees.
But every part of the identity of the so-called "incubator doctor" was fictional, it turns out, including his title. Nonetheless, as detailed in Miracle at Coney Island: How a Sideshow Doctor Saved Thousands of Babies and Transformed American Medicine, this life-saving miracle man fooled doctors and families alike—all the while saving lives and contributing enormously to neonatal medical knowledge.

After seeing the title of this article, you might be asking why anyone would need to vent an electrically fired kiln, since there are no products of combustion like those found with gas-fired kilns. It used to be a common practice to prop open the lid of an electrically fired kiln at the start of the firing cycle, and there's a good chance that you've noticed the unpleasant odors arising from those kilns during the first part of the firing process.
If your kiln is located outside in a lean-to with ample natural ventilation, you probably don't need to be concerned. If your kiln is in a basement, garage, studio or classroom, though, exploring kiln ventilation is a good idea.
Understand the Oxidation ProcessLet's consider the sources of the odors that are emitted in your kiln during the firing process. Clays and glazes contain various amounts of organic material. During firing, these carbonaceous materials oxidize, consuming the free oxygen in the kiln. Depending on the temperature, firing rate, and amount of available oxygen in the kiln, carbon dioxide and/or carbon monoxide will form.
If you combine high-organic-content clay with a heavy load in the kiln and a rapid firing rate, you can create a situation where there is insufficient oxygen available to oxidize all the carbonaceous material in the body. As a result, as the clay body begins to seal, the trapped gases can cause black coring and/or bloating to occur.
The old-school approach to preventing insufficient oxidation is to keep the lid of the kiln open while it is warming. Once the kiln reaches a point where odors are no longer emanating from it, the lid is closed. When used within reason, this practice works fairly well, as long as the room is large enough to dissipate the odor, or you simply exit the area and come back later.
The downside to this approach is that, after time, any windows in the area become frosted, any exposed metal prematurely corrodes, and the room is unbearable to work in when the kiln is firing. You also need to remember to shut the lid!
Evaluate Better OptionsThankfully, through a little ingenuity and the desire to fire more efficiently, better ways to vent kilns have been devised. Two schools of thought exist regarding how to best exhaust electric kilns. The macro approach requires whole-room ventilation: a large hood is placed over the kiln to catch the odors as they escape, and a fan is mounted within the duct to collect the odors as they rise with the heat and blow them outside.
This method can require an expensive make-up air system due to the high volume of air that must be re-circulated to remove the kiln exhausts. Greater expense can be encountered from higher heating and cooling costs due to the amount of makeup air needed, as well as the initial cost to install the required ductwork and exhaust hoods. This approach also limits the location of the kiln to one specific area or room (where the hood is located) and does not eliminate the need to prop the lid open to allow for the influx of air.
On the other hand, the micro approach continuously removes a small amount of air from the kiln during firing. A low-volume fan attached to the bottom of the kiln creates suction on the inside of the kiln. Fresh air is drawn into the top of the kiln while the fan draws the byproducts into an exhaust duct. To keep the system from getting too hot, the kiln exhaust is mingled with the cooler room air and blown outside. The fumes are never allowed to enter the room.
This approach ensures that the atmosphere inside the kiln remains oxidizing, which promotes the complete oxidation of any organic compounds found in raw materials, binders and decorating mediums like waxes. Additional benefits include longer element life; improved temperature uniformity; better glaze color development and gloss; location flexibility; the ability to remain in the work area during firing; a much quieter work area; and the freedom to fire the kiln without having to prop open the lid.
Effective VentingChoosing to install a vent that operates under the micro approach presents distinct advantages. In today's economy, getting the best value for your purchase is more important than ever. Given the many benefits associated with utilizing the micro approach to venting kilns, your best value can be realized by installing a vent that operates under that principle.

Room: Exhibit Hall | Forum 3
Purpose: To demonstrate the use of EPID for electron beam quality assurance(QA) and pre-treatment verification with a simple approach in absorbed dose to water reconstruction: EpiDream method.
Methods: The study was performed using EPID As1000 imager on Varian LINAC, for electron beams of 6-9-12-15-18MeV. EPID was calibrated with EpiDream method to obtain the dose to water matrix at each energy-dependent reference depth from the Grey Level image using integrated images. Comparison was performed between radial and transverse profiles measured with a 0.125cmÂ³ ionization chamber(PTW31010) and dose profiles extracted from EpiDream matrices for a 15x15cmÂ² field size. For gantry angle of 90-270Â°, EpiDream and Profiler2 profiles were compared. Rescaling of each measured profile was performed using a Kriging interpolation method(step:0.02mm) to integrate differences in detector intrinsic spatial resolution. Analysis was performed considering: flatness, symmetry, penumbra and field size values. To quantify 2D-sensitivity of EpiDream method for each energy, EPID images of a 10x10cmÂ² field size were acquired for several combinations of delivered Mus(3-300MU) and dose rate(100-300MU/min). To evaluate pre-treatment verification using EpiDream method, images of 10 irregularly clinical block electron fields were acquired for 6-9-12-15-18MeV. Validation of 2D-sensitivity and pre-treatment verification results was based on gamma analysis of EpiDream and TPS(eMCv13.6,Varian) absolute doses maps with 2%/2mm and 3%/3mm criteria, respectively.
Results: Considering flatness, symmetry, penumbra and field size values, mean deviation of EpiDream profiles with 0.125cmÂ³/Profiler2 profiles was respectively: 0.01pp/0.03pp, 0.34pp/0.86pp, 0.5mm/0.35mm and 0.6mm/0.8mm. For 2D-sensitivity results, the mean gamma passing rates(%GPR) for 6-9-12-15-18MeV was respectively: 96.6%(SD=1.6%), 99.9%(SD=0.1%), 100%(SD=0.16%), 99.8%(SD=0.6%), 99.8%(SD=0.1%) from the range of 15 to 300MU. For pre-treatment verification results, %GPR ranged from 97.6% to 100%.
Conclusion: QA and pre-treatment verification of electron beams in 2D absolute dose using EPID is possible with EpiDream method at any angle by maximizing measurement reproducibility and optimizing time dedicated to QA process.
Funding Support, Disclosures, and Conflict of Interest: Christine Boutry, Denis Franck and Philippe Dudouet have ownership interests in DREAM SAS which is commercializing the EpiDream algorithm. Other authors have no relevant conflicts of interest to disclose.


Special cable for photovoltaic power generation system
Detail
Special cable for photovoltaic power generation system
1. Summary
The characteristics of photovoltaic cable are determined by its special insulation material and sheath material, which we call cross-linked PE. After irradiation by the irradiation accelerator, the molecular structure of the cable material will change, so as to provide all aspects of its performance. In fact, during installation and maintenance, the cables can be wired on the sharp edge of the roof structure, while the cables must withstand pressure, bending, tension, cross tensile load and strong impact. If the strength of the cable sheath is not enough, the cable insulation layer will be seriously damaged, which will affect the service life of the entire cable, or lead to short circuit, fire and personnel injury risk problems.
Selection and classification of photovoltaic cables
In the solar photovoltaic power generation system, the low-voltage DC transmission part of the cable used, because of the use of environment and technical requirements have different requirements, the overall factors should be considered: the insulation performance of the cable, heat and flame resistance, aging performance and wire diameter specifications. The specific requirements are provided as follows:
1. Connecting cable between solar cell modules and modules.
PV1-F photovoltaic cable, generally directly connected with the connection cable attached to the module junction box, when the length is not enough to use a special extension cable. According to the different power size of the components, this type of connection cable has a cross-sectional area of 2.5m㎡, 4.0m㎡, 6.0m㎡ and 10mm2And so on specifications. This kind of connection cable uses double layer insulation skin, with superior ultraviolet light, water, ozone, acid, salt erosion ability, superior all-weather ability and wear resistance.
2. The connection cable between the storage battery and the inverter.
Use multiple cables that have passed the UL test and connect as nearby as possible. Choosing short and thick cables can reduce the system loss, improve efficiency, and enhance reliability.
3. The connection cable between the battery square array and the controller or the DC junction box.
Multiple flexible wires that pass the UL test are required, and the cross-sectional area specification depends on the maximum current output of the square array. The cross-sectional area of the DC cable is determined according to the following principles: the connection cable between the solar cell module and components, the connection cable between the battery and the battery, and the connection cable of the AC load, the rated cable is 1.25 times of the maximum continuous working current of the cables; and the connection cable between the solar cell and the square array, the connection cable between the battery (group) and the inverter, generally the rated current of the cable is 1.5 times of the maximum continuous working current of each cable.
According to the above uses, photovoltaic cable can be divided into three types of application: TUV photovoltaic cable (cable connected between battery modules and modules); UL photovoltaic cable (connection cable between battery and inverter); photovoltaic standard control cable (connection cable between battery array and controller or DC junction box).
TUV PV cable

The year 2008 is halfway to the deadline for reaching the Millennium Development Goals. Despite some progress, they will not be achieved if current trends continue. Aid promises are predicted to be missed by $30bn, at a potential cost of 5 million lives. Starting with the G8 meeting in Japan, rich countries must use a series of high-profile summits in 2008 to make sure the Goals are met, and to tackle both climate change and the current food crisis. Economic woes must not be used as excuses: rich countries' credibility is on the line.

When the color of an opaque sample is measured, the source light hits the surface of the sample and is reflected back from it to the instrument's detector. When the color of a transparent sample is measured, the source light passes through the sample to reach the instrument's detector.
Translucent samples both reflect and transmit light, which is what makes them more complex to measure.Light interactions for an opaque sample (left), transparent sample (center) and translucent sample (right). The specular reflection is shown in white with color shown in yellow.
The color of a transparent sample is typically measured in a transmittance mode (with the sample held between the light source and the detector) using a benchtop sphere instrument, such as a ColorQuest XE, ColorQuest XT, UltraScan PRO, or UltraScan VIS. This method is recommended as the most scientifically sound one.
But what if the need to measure a transparent sample arises and you only have access to a spectrophotometer with a 45°/0° or 0°/45° geometry (such as a ColorFlex 45/0 or LabScan XE)? Do you need to buy a new instrument in order to read these samples? Not necessarily.
While not the optimal method, these samples can be measured in reflectance with a white backing, a method which uses a reflectance-only instrument to measure the sample as in the picture shown below.
Light interactions for a transparent sample measured in reflectance
Back the sample with a constant white backing such as an extra white tile or, for liquids, white disk. The source light passes through the sample. The sample absorbs the wavelengths of light that it normally does, passing the rest of the light to the white backing. That light reflects off the white backing and returns through the sample to the instrument's detector. This method can also be used for the measurement of translucent samples such as those shown below. Please note that a consistent path length, or thickness, of sample should be established and used when measuring a particular type of sample.
As an example, a tinted glass sample was measured twice on a ColorQuest XE, the first time in Total Transmittance (TTRAN) mode, and the second time in Reflectance Specular-Included (RSIN) mode backed with a white tile. As you can see from the software screen shown below, the TTRAN measurement is lighter (higher L*) and less saturated (lower a* and b*) than the RSIN measurement, but the shapes of the two spectral curves are identical. As long as all samples of this type that are measured in reflectance are backed with the same white backing, the measurements can be used and compared in assessing color.

TurkeyFarmers in Thrace, one of the important agricultural production centers of Turkey, are waiting for snowfall for a decrease in the effect of drought and a productive season.
Dry in autumn and the first months of winter Edirne, Tekirdag ve KirklareliIn , producers especially had to sow wheat and canola seeds in dry soil.
Snowfall is important for the development period of wheat and canola, and for the storage of water in the soil in sunflowers that have not been planted yet.
Snowfall, which is defined by the farmers as "having a quilt effect" on agricultural products, both protects the products from possible frost events and the snow water mixes into the soil slowly and facilitates the development of the plant.
"Snowfall lays on the plant like a quilt"
President of Edirne Chamber of Agriculture Huseyin ArabaciHe told Anadolu Agency (AA) that the producers' eyes are on snowfall during the winter months.
Expressing that last year was under the influence of drought, Arabacı said, "We did not say that there was a drought in the October period and we planted it. After the planting, light rains came and it was enough for the wheat to emerge." said.
Arabacı stated that due to the drought, some canola fields deteriorated and different crops were planted.
Noting that the soil did not receive enough precipitation, Arabacı said:
"Because the summer was dry, the soil did not reach saturation. We are also talking with our producers who go to prepare the sunflower fields. After 20-30 centimeters of the soil, it is dry. Therefore, the precipitation should be good in the winter period so that the crops will develop well in the next period.
The type of precipitation desired by the producers in winter is snowfall. It is laid on the plant like a quilt. When a handful of snow falls on the product, the product stays warm at the bottom and continues its rooting and development. The soil absorbs the snow water slowly and the soil becomes beautiful."
Karabulut village headman and wheat producer Cem Yilmaz He also reminded that they had to sow wheat seeds in dry soil.
Stating that there should be snowfall for the development of wheat and the sunflower to be planted, Yılmaz said, "The soil needs to store the snow water. The warehouses are empty at the moment, I hope we will get a nice snowfall and fill the warehouses and we will have a good time." used the phrases.
Producer Hayrullah Hüdaverdi also stated that winter precipitation is important for a productive season.
"Increases quality with snow and cold yield"
Ekrem Şaylan, President of Kırklareli Chamber of Agriculture, also pointed out that the air temperature and precipitation regime were not at the required level for the farmer.
Explaining that they need cold weather and snowfall for wheat, Şaylan reminded that temperatures are above seasonal normals despite January.
Expressing that the growth rate of wheat is also low due to climatic conditions, Şaylan stated that snowfall is needed for the products to reach normal levels.
Stating that snowfall acts as a cover for wheat and provides better nutrition to its root, Şaylan continued his words as follows:
"Winter months need to be colder and more snowy. The wheat should have snowfall and the wheat should get cold. Currently, it is growing rapidly. If there is no snowfall in the near future, the progress will not go well for our farmers. If the wheat grows rapidly, grain development will slow down even more. We need snowfall for this. Snow and cold weather are one of our sine qua non in terms of more productive and high quality wheat. Without one of them, we cannot get good products. Our hope is that the temperatures will return to seasonal normals as soon as possible. If this process takes longer, it will not be good for our farmers and our country. "
"Snow is needed for water to run on the ground"
Tekirdağ Süleymanpaşa Chamber of Agriculture President İmdat Saygı also stated that the rainfall for farmers this year was less than expected.
Emphasizing that the lack of snowfall worries the farmers, Saygı said, "There has been a slight rain in the last day or two, but of course the producers expect snow. Hopefully we expect snow and rain. " said.

Effect of etching on spin canting in hydrothermally synthesized Co-Ni ferrite particles
- 18 Downloads
Spinel cobalt-nickel ferrite nanoparticles, having a particle size of around 40 nm, were produced by undergoing a succession of synthesis routes comprised of chemical co-precipitation, hydrothermal treatment (HT), and etching in hydrochloric acid (ET) of concentration 2.0 mol/L. The room temperature high-field Mössbauer spectra were analyzed in detail and significant spin canting associated with Fe3+ ions at both A- and B-sites were observed for both the HT and ET samples in the presence of external magnetic field of 5 T. The effect of etching on various Mössbauer parameters such as the hyperfine field distribution, isomer shift, quadrupole splitting and the linewidth was noted. The A site and B site canting angles of the HT sample were respectively 17° and 22°, while canting angle of approximately 13° was observed for both A and B sites in the ET sample.

Communication via webcam
Communication via Web camera immediately gives the appearance of the exterior of the interlocutor, facial expressions, gestures, hearing voices. In essence, the parties communicate in the real world, only for the "walls" in which a computer performs. Communication takes place in real-time video tracking. You can also learn more with our sex chatroulette blog!
Pros of communicating on the web camera.
1. Appearance. If you've talked to dating sites, you may have noticed that some people use a photo that is clearly different from the reality. There may be different reasons for that: photoshop, different programs for editing photos or person, such as not photogenic (life looks better than in the photo). Webcam smoothest this point and now we can see at a glance the appearance of your interlocutor. Of course, still depends on the quality of the web survey.
2. Web broadcast in real time with accompanying voice communication. Now, once during the broadcast you can communicate through a microphone. This method can replace communication by telephone and immediately communicate in real time.
3. If before there were doubts about the person with whom you correspond on the Internet and could only imagine what he or she is, now everything is transparent and clear.
4. For people who live in different cities and countries and have seen each other only on the pictures, webcam allows you to "meet" online. Let it be a virtual meeting, but this "meeting" would be more benefits than simple correspondence via the Internet.
5. Video presentation. Video presentation is rather a form of message to the public that people often use to tell something about themselves. Video presentation is easy to do via a web camera. Suffice it to record video with a video and place on a dating site. In a video presentation, you can tell yourself: interesting facts, interests, goals. Video presentation gives you an idea of the person who wants to meet you, and you in turn denunciations public information that they will be useful.
6. Dating Web camera. The number of online dating sites on the web camera is not so much as a conventional dating site, but they are. They had a great flourish and are a good way to explore the Internet to know what today is, dating site on the web camera, see separate article that I devoted the topic.
Because of the disadvantages of using a web camera, you can select the following:
1. If you do not have unlimited internet access, and limit, the communication through the web camera will not be advantageous pleasure. Using a web camera picks up a lot of Internet traffic.
2. Another not very significant, but the significant factor is the low speed of the Internet. Today, you need to have high-speed Internet for fast transfer of video.

NCERT Solutions for Class 12 History Chapter 1 Bricks, Beads and Bones The Harappan Civilisation
List the items of food available to people in Harappan cities. Identify the groups who would have provided these.
(a) The following items of food were available to people in Harappan cities : Wheat, barley, lentil, chickpea, sesame, millets, rice, fish, and goat.
- Animals such as cattle, sheep, buffalo and pig were domesticated. So, they could get meat from these animals.
- The evidence of a ploughed field at Kalibangan and knowledge of bull prove that harvesting was done by the Harappans.
- Regarding hunting of wild animals such as boar, deer and gharial, there is no proof whether the Harappans hunted these animals themselves or obtained meat from other hunting communities.
How do archaeologists trace socio-economic differences in Harappan society? What are the differences that they notice?
Following examples can be cited to show the existence of social and economic variations : in the Harappan society:
(i) Study of burials is one example. In the Harappan sites, the deads were usually laid in pits. There were differences in the Way burial pits were made. At some instances, the hollowed-out spaces were lined with bricks. But these may not be taken as an indication of social differences.
(ii) In some graves pottery and ornaments have been found. Jewellery has been found from the graves of men and women as well. These findings can point out social and economic differences. '
(iii) The artefacts have been classified into two categories, Utilitarian and Luxurious. Objects of daily uses and objects made of ordinary materials made of clay or stone come under utilitarian category. Ordinary articles consisted of querns, pottery, flesh-rubbers and needles. These have been found distributed throughout settlements.
(iv) Objects of luxuries were rare and made from precious, non-local materials. The technology used was advanced and complicated. Little pots of faience were considered precious. They were also not easy to make. These show the existence of social and economic variations in the Harappan society.
Would you agree that the drainage system in Harappan cities indicates town planning? Give reasons for your answer.
The drainage system in Harappan cities indicates town planning as is clear from the following reasons :
- It was planned drainage system. In the Lower Town, the roads and streets were laid out along an approximate "grid" pattern, intersecting at right angles.
- It seems from the plan of the Lower Town that streets with drains were laid out first and then houses built along them.
- The drains of every house were connected to the street drains. Very long drainage channels were provided at intervals with sumps for cleaning. Drainage system has been found in smaller settlements like Lothal.
List the materials used to make beads in the Harappan civilisation. Describe the process by which any one kind of bead was made.
(a) The materials used to make beads in the Harappan civilisation were as given below:
- Stones like carnelian of a beautiful red colour, jasper, crystal, quartz, and steatite;
- Metals like copper, bronze, and gold;
- Shell, faience, and terracotta or burnt clay.
- The process or technique for making beads differed according to the material.
For example, steatite, a very soft stone, was easily worked. Some beads were moulded out of a paste made with steatite powder. This permitted making a variety of shapes, unlike the geometrical form that were made out of harder stones.
- Red colour of carnelian was obtained by firing the yellowish raw material and beads at various stages of production.
- Nodules were chipped into rough shapes, and then finely flaked into the final form.
- Grinding, polishing, and drilling completed the process.
Look at figure and describe what you see. How is the body placed? What are the objects placed near it? Are there any artefacts on the body? Do these indicate the sex of the skeleton?
(a) A dead body has been laid in a pit.
(b) Some objects of pottery are placed near it.
(c) There seems to be some ornaments on body but these do not indicate the sex of the skeleton because jewellery has been found in burials of both men and women.
Describe some of the distinctive features of Mohenj odaro.
Describe the features that justify that Mohenjodaro was a planned urban cetnre.
Some of the distinctive features of Mohenjodaro were as given below :
- Mohenjodaro is the most well known site. It was divided into two sections – one smaller but higher and the other much larger but lower. These are known as the Citadel and the Lower Town, respectively. Both the sections were walled.
- Several buildings were built on platforms which implies that the building activity was restricted on the platforms. It seems that the settlement was first planned and then implemented accordingly.
- The standardised ratio of bricks – sundried or baked – is also a sign of planning. The length and breadth of bricks were four times and twice the height, respectively.
- There was well-planned drainage system. The roads and streets were laid out along an approximate "grid" pattern, intersecting at right angles. It appears that streets with drains were laid down first and then houses built along them.
- Residential buildings were centered on a courtyard, with rooms on all sides. There were no windows in the walls along the ground level to have privacy. The main entrance too did not give a direct view of the courtyard.
- There was a bathroom in everyhouse. The drains were connected to the street drains.
- Some houses had staircases to reach a second story or the roof.
List the raw materials required for craft production in the Harappan civilisation and discuss how these might have been obtained.
Following is the list of materials required for craft production in the Harappan Civilisation:
Stone, clay, copper, tin, bronze, gold, faience, shell, camelian, jasper, crystal, steatite, quartz, timber.
Some of the raw materials were locally available whereas some were purchased from the distant places. Soil and wood were locally available raw materials. Stones, fine quality wood, metals were procured from distant places.
Settlements of the Harappans were situated at such places where raw materials were easily available. Nageshwar and Balacot were famous for shell. Some places were famous for Lapis Lazuli like Shortughai in Afghanistan. Rajasthan and Gujarat were famous for copper. Lothal was famous for camelian.
Another way of obtaining raw material was sending expeditions to different places.
Evidences show that expedition was sent to Khetri region of Rajasthan for copper and to South India for Gold. Through these expeditions local communities were contacted. Harappan evidences found at these places indicate contacts between each other. Evidences found at Khetri region were given the name of Ganeshwar Jodhpura Culture by archaeologists. Huge reserves of copper products were found here. It is assumed that inhabitants of these area sent copper to Harappan people.
Discuss how archaeologists reconstruct the past.
It is the material evidence by which the archaeologists reconstruct the past. This material could be pottery, tools, ornaments and household objects. It is done in the following ways:
- Classifying finds : The archaeologists classify their finds in terms of material, such as stone, clay, metal, bone, ivory, etc. and in terms of function i.e., an artefact is a tool or an ornament or both or something meant for ritual use.
- The archaeologists try to reconstruct religious practices because certain objects which seemed unusual or unfamiliar may have had a religious significance. For example, terracotta figurines of women, heavily jewelled, some with elaborate head dresses were regarded as mother goddesses.
- Religious beliefs and practices are reconstructed by examining seals, depicting ritual scenes, animals (one, horned animal) cross-legged yogic figure.
- Many reconstructions are made on the assumption that later traditions provide parallels with earlier ones because archaeologists move from present to the past. The example is 'proto-Shiva' seal which can be compared with Rudra mentioned in Rigveda.
Discuss the functions that may have been performed by rulers in Harappan society.
The functions that may have been performed by rulers in Harappan society whereas mentioned below –
- There are indications of complex decisions being taken and implemented in Harappan society. For example, the extraordinary uniformity of Harappan artefacts as evident in seals, pottery, weights and bricks would have due the authority of the rulers. A large building has been found in Mohenjodaro. It might be a palace for the rulers. A stone statute has been labelled as 'priest-king'. Thus, he may be a ruler who exercised authority for taking various decisions.
- Whether the ritual practices were performed

The South-Eastern Agricultural Region is particularly diverse and extends from Jerramungup in the west, to Condingup in the east, and Salmon Gums in the north east. Much of the farming land in the area was not cleared until well after World War II.
The higher rainfall areas close to the coast between Hopetoun and Esperance allow farmers to graze cattle on permanent pasture. The rapid decline in rainfall over short distances as distance from the coast increases mean cereal cropping begins to dominate, particularly north of the South Coast Highway and towards Grass Patch and Salmon Gums.
Sandy soils dominate the coastal areas, many of which suffer waterlogging resulting from relatively shallow clay layers (duplexes). In addition, water repellency is an inherent problem associated with the sandy soils, and those areas also tend to suffer from compaction issues. Soils further from the coast tend to be heavier in nature, have much better water and nutrient retention characteristic and alkaline at depth. Unfortunately many of these "salmon gum" soils tend to suffer boron toxicity lower in the profile.
Annual rainfall in the area ranges from approximately 620 mm close to Esperance, to 460 mm at Jacup and 350 mm at Salmon Gums.

Back to Tap Water
The Back to Tap Water campaign was a joint effort by ESAC, the Environmental Proctors, and the Environmental Club. It grew naturally out of a recycling campaign which was intended to raise awareness of our recycling program and encourage community members to recycle. The analysis of the One Week's Worth of Containers that showed that 40% of recycled containers were disposable water bottles led to our subsequent efforts to reduce the unnecessary and wasteful use of disposable water bottles, hence, the Back to Tap Water Campaign.
One Week's Worth of Containers
During one week in November 2009, Deerfield set up large bins in front of the Dining Hall to display all the metal, glass, and plastic containers we captured for recycling during one week. At the end of the week, students from the Environmental Studies classes helped to count and categorize these containers. The result showed that 80% of the containers recycled were plastic and that 40% of the containers were disposable water bottles such as Dasani® and Poland Springs® bottled water. It was clear that there was an opportunity to make a meaningful change.
Blind Water Taste Test
To begin to understand the prevalence of bottled water usage, we looked at two things–taste and perceptions. One hundred sixty-eight members of the Deerfield Academy community participated in the blind water taste test set up in the Dining Hall during a Wednesday walkthrough lunch. Participants were given a score card to rank in order of preference four unlabeled pitchers of water. The only information given them was that there was both bottled and tap water among the four. The clear winner was filtered tap water from the Dining Hall. Last in preference was unfiltered tap water, which is the water available in the dorms and water fountains around campus.
Drinking Water Survey
To explore what barriers might prevent Deerfield community members from using our tap water, two student members of ESAC compiled a list of questions to survey community members. Two hundred twenty-one people responded to the questions. Key results are highlighted below:
How often do you drink bottled water?
- Rarely to never: 34%
- At least once a day: 32%
- At least once a week: 54%
If you knew that Deerfield's unfiltered tap water as safe to drink as bottled water, would you then drink tap water as opposed to bottled water?
If faucets with filtered water were present in all dormitories, would you be more likely to give up bottled water in favor of refilling a reusable bottle?
- Yes: 71%
- No: 9%
- Not in Dorm: 20%
Following water quality testing of our tap water that confirmed it was of fine quality, ESAC forwarded its recommendations to the community.
Given the community's taste preference for filtered tap water, the perception that bottled water is safer than tap, and the exceeding overuse of bottled water on campus, the Academy implemented ESAC's recommendation that one sink per floor per dorm be outfitted with an under-the-sink filtration system to improve the taste by removing chlorine. The Academy also followed ESAC's recommendation and installed Hydration Stations (as opposed to water fountains) at key locations around campus.
The Dining Services outlets on campus ceased all sales of bottled water. Parents are reminded as part of the back-to-school announcements that the use of bottled water is actively discouraged on campus.

Will Vankalai Village be protected from the sea erosion in Mannar?
People express grief that Sea erosion is gobbling up land in the Village of Vankalai in the Mannar-Nanattan Pradeshiya sabai area.
Vankalai is a village with marine resources in Mannar District and engage in fishing livelihood.
Even for small high tide the sea waters invade the village, say the affected villagers.
Due to continuous sea erosion for the last 27 years, nearly 2 Kms of land had submerged, say the people. As a result of long time requests by the people 3 buffer walls were constructed some years back. Nevertheless the sea had eaten up to the buffer walls, the people say.
However, as the said buffer walls are also sinking due to sea erosion, the village people are requesting that while old buffer walls are renovated, several new walls should be constructed.
Particularly, the anti-sea erosion buffer wall in existence now is found up to only a short distance. There is a need to construct several additional buffer walls, said the affected people.
Although they had approached several factions including related officers and politicians, requesting to build the buffer wall, no constructive action had been taken by them, said the sorrowed people.
In the area where three buffer walls are built earlier considerable amount of land is safeguarded from sea erosion but in area where no wall is available the sea is advancing in claiming land areas, they say.
While saying that if the lethargy shown by the concerned officials in attending to the several years long requests by the people continued, they said that, further land will be submerged by the sea. They call for constructive action regarding the buffer walls.
Hence they request the Officials and politicians concerned to pay attention to this matter and take action with speed to protect the village from sea erosion.

Gas Ovens
Older ovens used to be ignited with a pilot light. This is a small flame from which the oven drew its fire when turned on. In halachic terms, this allowed the user to turn them on, on Yom Tov without a question of transgressing the prohibition of molid. As with the gas cooktops, new ovens are equipped with electric igniters, most commonly an electric igniter called a glow plug. When turning on the oven, the power to the glow plug is initiated. When the glow plug is hot enough the gas will begin to flow and start the flame. When the oven chamber reaches the temperature set by the thermostat, it turns off the flow of gas and electricity. As the chamber loses heat, the oven will restart the glow plug which in turn restarts the gas to bring the chamber back to the required temperature. Because one may not directly initiate the flow of electricity to the glow plug on Yom Tov, he must turn the oven on before Yom Tov. When raising the temperature on the oven on Yom Tov, one must be sure that they are not initiating electric current to the glow plug. Therefore, if one sees the glow plug glowing (it gives a bright orange light which can be seen through the side vents on the floor of the oven) or if the flame is on, one may raise the temperature. As discussed earlier with regard to stovetops, one may lower the oven setting only when needed for the benefit of the food. It is important to note that some ovens will give a digital readout of the temperature when raised or lowered. This would pose a halachic question of writing and erasing, both of which are prohibited acts on Yom Tov.
Sabbath Mode Ovens
(The Following Applies to Yom Tov Only)
Sabbath mode ovens are designed to bypass many of the practical and halachic problems posed by the modern oven. For the Sabbath mode ovens with the random delay feature, one may raise or lower the temperature of the oven without concern for the heating element or glow plug. This is because the computer does not directly react to the change in settings. The oven will randomly look to the setting and adjust the temperature. This means that turning on the heating element or glow plug is only an indirect result of your action (grama). Therefore, since a grama is permitted on Yom Tov one may actually adjust the temperature. For the Sabbath mode ovens without the random delay, the temperature may be raised only when power is flowing to the oven and lowered when power is not flowing to the oven as indicated by the readout on the display.6
 No. One is permitted to lower the setting only when it is necessary for the preparation of the Yom Tov's food.
 Those Sabbath Mode ovens that are equipped with a random delay may be lowered on Yom Tov. This is because the random delay makes the reaction of the oven to lower the temperature a grama (indirect action). Although we permit extinguishing or lowering a flame only where it is needed for food, this applies where one does the action. Here, where the computer will lower the temperature later on as a reaction to your instructions, it is called gram kibui and it is permitted.
 One may open and close the door of an oven on Yom Tov to process the food as needed if this does not cause a light or icon to go on directly because the door was opened. On Shabbos there is a problem with opening the door because it will cause additional burning in the oven. This is prohibited on Shabbos8 but permitted on Yom Tov.
 Regarding raising the temperature of a gas oven on Yom Tov, one may not do so unless they know that the glow plug is glowing and the display will not change. This is because raising the temperature setting will directly cause the glow plug to go on if it is otherwise off, creating a problem of molid. However, if the oven is certified with sabbath mode that has a random delay feature built in, and this was initiated before Yom Tov, one may adjust the temperature on Yom Tov.
1. Shmos 20:9, D'varim 5:13
2. Vayikra 23:7
3. We consider it to be right after tzeis hakochavim.
4. The eruv should consist of a cooked and a baked food. Each food type should be a minimum of a kezayis (an average egg). A blessing and statement are recited as these foods are set aside before Yom Tov. By setting aside this food for use on Shabbos we are in essence saying that we have some food prepared for Shabbos. Therefore, that which we cook on Yom Tov for Shabbos is only to add to this mix of prepared food for Shabbos. In addition, it is best to cook early on a Friday Yom Tov, so that the food for Shabbos is ready on Yom Tov. This way you are also saying that the food is for Yom Tov, and if you would have visitors on Friday, this food could be served to them.
5. Please note that this may nullify a warranty.
6. Check the appliance section of our website at or contact our office at _PHONE_ to determine if your model has the random delay.
7. Please be aware that some companies advertise their ovens as having a Sabbath mode where in actuality, the only feature that the oven has is the twelve hour cutoff override. If it does encompass more than the twelve hour cutoff override, check to make sure there is a competent halachic authority behind the Sabbath mode to endorse it.
8. On Shabbos, while the oven is operating, the door may be opened once, all the food removed, and then closed. For further information about oven usage on Shabbos, see "Oven Kashrus: For Shabbos Use" on our website at

Poor user adoption is one of the main reasons why CRM projects don't deliver expected results.
If you struggle with CRM user adoption, here are 10 tips to ensure long-term CRM usage.
1. Set expectations
This should be done early on, and it is the team leader's responsibility to help employees understand why you are implementing this new system and your goals for CRM usage. Set measurable goals and hold users accountable to achieve those goals. You can even create a reward system to keep them motivated.
2. Create a CRM user adoption strategy
Creating a plan on how the CRM will be adopted is often overlooked, making user adoption a long and stressful process. However, this doesn't have to the case if you devise a clear plan and follow through with it.
crm user adoption
3. Offer content-rich training
Training shouldn't be done just so that you can tick a box and move on. It is about equipping users with the knowledge they need to operate the CRM. So, create a training plan that runs well beyond the introductory stage to ensure that users understand more advanced CRM processes and functions.
4. Involve users
Involving users from the very beginning is essential in CRM user adoption. They will invest more time and put in more effort when they feel like they have a real stake in the project.
5. Personalise your CRM
To pass the critical test of user relevancy, your CRM database should be personalised to your business operations. While it may not be far away from what you need, don't accept the 'out of the box' solution. Personalisation may incur a small extra development cost, but it will pay back quickly in terms of CRM usage.
6. For optimal CRM user adoption, keep it simple
CRM systems have great features, but the last thing you want is to clutter your interface with features your irrelevant features that your users don't need. Working with a good CRM developer will make sure that users only need to complete the bare minimum.
dynamics 365 case management
7. Communicate openly between teams
Even after connecting teams to a single data source, communication remains fundamental in ensuring that information flows smoothly throughout the organisation.
8. Replicate social tools
CRM user adoption is easier if users can apply functions they are already familiar with, and that includes social tools. Investigate whether relevant social tools can be integrated into your CRM system - it may just save time as well.
9. Integrate apps to help CRM user adoption
Integrate your CRM with applications users are already using. This includes SharePoint, Outlook and systems such as marketing automation software.
10. Keep CRM usage issues open and public
CRM sceptics will always remain, and when left unchecked, they can spread negative influence. Therefore, tackle any arising CRM issues to limit damage to CRM user adoption.

I want to transfer some data from one ASP.NET (WebForms) application to another, edit: where the first application redirects to the second. The two applications run in a load-balanced environment, so don't necessarily execute on the same server machine. We are talking about an XML blob in the size range a few hundred to maybe a thousand bytes, so it's a bit long for encoding and tacking it into the URL query-string. The user must also not be able to muck with this data (it's not security-critical currently, but exposing it to the user still seems like a bad idea).
Any suggestions on how to do it?

I don't know all the details of your situation, but there are a few ways you could do this.
 1. You could insert the XML blob into a database from one site and retrieve it from the database from the other site.
 2. You could post your XML blob from one application to a receiver page in the other application which would then read the XML from the request.
 3. You could create a webservice in the second application with a method to receive the XML blob from the fist application.
 4. You could write the XML to file in one application and read it from file in the second application.

#4 is definitely out because of the load balancing as well as usage (way too high risk of race conditions). – Michael Kjörling Mar 9 '12 at 13:22

Just a quick idea off the top of my head...
If the data is entirely specific to the current user's session, and the two sites are running on the same domain.
 1. Generate a key for the client - something that is going to be reasonably unique, for instance something like md5(some guid + some header from the user's browser)
 2. Store the information in a key value store/database table, with the generated key from 1 as the key.
 3. Set the key as a cookie to the client.
This way you avoid ever sending the data to the client, and the 'key' should be random enough that it will be very hard to guess. If you also store the header and the GUID that you use to generate/salt the hash, you can then validate the key from the user's cookie against the headers sent in the request and deny access if all the details don't match up. This also has the benefit that you can store as much data as you can realistically cope with on the server side.

Store it in an encrypted cookie, You'll only add 1Kb to each request/response.

OP says 'The user must also not be able to muck with this data'. Sticking it in a cookie would allow access to the data using Firebug etc. – mdm Mar 9 '12 at 13:32

Maybe like a SSO or something like that.
In a database, a table with those columns:
Guid (Guid.NewGuid())
(maybe other columns like the user id...for security log)
The first webapp send the Guid through the URL. The second retrieve the Content in the database.
The date can be used to validate the data: you can only access to the content within X seconds.

Should be fairly easy using cross site requests.
The first application should just return a page containing a form with the Action parameter pointing to the other application's url. The page should also contain a small javascript to postback the form as soon as the page is loaded. The body of the page contains the data you want to pass between servers.
This way you are using client's browser to do the job for you. Because page's body can be much longer than uri/cookie, this approach should work for you.
Note, that this is completely legal and at least few passive authentication protocols rely on such possibility.
Edit: The integrity of the data is achieved with cryptography. The data can be signed (the simplest approach) or encrypted+signed (which not only prevents users from modyfing the data but also from seeing the content).
Also note that if you don't have to involve client browser, you can use any communication protocol to pass the data directly between servers (TCP, HTTP).

How would you stop a malicious user from seeing the data, if it is sent to the browser? – mdm Mar 9 '12 at 13:34
You can encrypt it or even sign it to validate at the receiver side. – Wiktor Zychla Mar 9 '12 at 14:22

Thanks to all who responded! In talking this over with some other people at the office, in the end we decided that, since the data is actually made available by yet another web application, both of the applications that make use of the data will simply make a call to the third to get the data. The downside to that approach is the small amount of time it takes to make that call twice; the upside is that it virtually ensures that the two applications always have up-to-date data, and even a naïve implementation makes it very difficult for the end user to do anything with the data.

dnsfilter reads a series of lines from stdin, converts an IP address to a host name at the beginning of each line, and prints the results to stdout.
If a line does not begin with an IP address, dnsfilter leaves the line alone. If an IP address does not have a host name listed in DNS, dnsfilter leaves the line alone. If an IP address has a host name listed in DNS, dnsfilter inserts an equals sign and the host name before the first space or tab in the line. If a DNS lookup fails temporarily, dnsfilter inserts a colon and a dash-separated error message before the first space or tab in the line.
While dnsfilter is looking up an address in DNS, it reads ahead in the input and looks for more addresses to look up in parallel.

The Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe and Ices Explorer (SPHEREx) is a planned two-year mission that will survey the sky in optical as well as near-infrared light which, though not visible to the human eye, serves as a powerful tool for answering cosmic questions. Astronomers will use the mission to gather data on more than 300 million galaxies, as well as, more than 100 million stars in our own Milky Way.
SPHEREx will survey hundreds of millions of galaxies near and far, some so distant their light has taken 10 billion years to reach Earth. In the Milky Way, the mission will search for water and organic molecules - essentials for life, as we know it - in stellar nurseries, regions where stars are born from gas and dust, as well as disks around stars where new planets could be forming.
Every six months, SPHEREx will survey the entire sky using technologies adapted from Earth satellites and interplanetary spacecraft. The mission will create a map of the entire sky in 102 different color bands, far exceeding the color resolution of previous all-sky maps. It also will identify targets for more detailed study by other missions, such as NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.

IZA DP No. 11076: Income Increase and Moving to a Better Neighbourhood: An Enquiry into Ethnic Differences in Finland
Concentration to disadvantaged neighbourhoods may hinder immigrants' opportunities for social integration, so equal chances of translating available economic resources into mobility to less disadvantaged neighbourhoods are important. This paper adds to existing research on exits from poor neighbourhoods by focusing on the effects of income increase on residential mobility. We analyse intra-urban residential mobility from low-income neighbourhoods into non-low-income neighbourhoods among immigrants and native-born residents in three urban regions in Finland. We use longitudinal register data for the 2004–2014 period for the full Finnish population, allowing a dynamic analysis of changes in income and neighbourhood of residence. Based on multinomial logit modelling of migration outcomes, we found that an increase in income is associated with moving both to low-income and non-low-income areas even when controlling for initial income level. Upward income mobility was connected to exit from low-income areas in a quite similar way among immigrants and native-born Finns. The findings suggest that policies e.g. improving the labour market opportunities of immigrants are effective in reduction of residential segregation. However, we were not able to completely explain the differences between native-born Finns and immigrants in moving patterns. The differences between the cities were opposite for immigrants and native-born Finns, corresponding to differences in immigration history and levels of ethnic segregation. Therefore, the local context matters for spatial integration outcomes.

1: Hard
I have nine coins in my pocket. Some of these are 2p pieces and the others are 5p pieces. I am contemplating buying some buns. I notice that I can buy four buns without requiring any change but, although I can afford them, I do not have the coins to buy five buns without needing to get change. How much does a bun cost and how many coins are there of each type?
Dr Lynda White, Principal Teaching Fellow in Experimental Design, Department of Mathematics
See the answer
See the answer
Solution: A bun costs six pence and there are 4 two pence coins (and 5 five pence coins).
We can infer from the wording of the question that the number of two pence coins is one of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7, and correspondingly 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 or 2 for five pence coins.
We are looking for a total value of coins which is a multiple of 5 but which cannot be attained exactly using the two and five piece coins and which therefore require change. In addition, the corresponding multiple of 4 must be attainable exactly.
When the number of two pence coins is 2, 5, 6 or 7, a straightforward check shows that all total costs which are affordable multiples of 5 can be attained exactly so we do not have a solution here.
When the number of two pence coins is 3, all total costs which are affordable multiples of 5 can be attained exactly except for 35. This would lead to a bun price of 7 pence but 28 pence (which would be the cost of 4 buns) is also not attainable. Again, there is no solution.
However, when there are 4 two pence coins we find that all total costs which are affordable multiples of 5 can be attained exactly except for 30. This leads to a bun price of 6 pence and we see that 24 pence (=2+2+5+5+5+5), the price of 4 buns, can be attained exactly. This is the only solution.
2: Very hard
I keep all my worldly wealth in a numbered Swiss bank account. Recently, the bank decided that all account numbers must have between 30 and 80 digits and may not start with a zero. It's complicated, but I can work mine out each time I need it. If I multiply my number by nine I get the same number with the last digit shifted to the front (so that, for example, 134689 would become 913468). Can you help me work out my account number?
Professor Jonathan Mestel, Professor of Applied Mathematics, Department of Mathematics

See the answer
Solution: 10112359550561797752808988764044943820224719
Digit by digit construction:
If an integer has the same number of digits when it is multiplied by 9, it must start with a 1. Its next digit must be either a 0 or a 1. However 11… would give 99… when multiplied by 9 which wouldn't work, as putting a 9 in front would give 911… So the only possibility is that the first two digits are 10:
First two digits are 10
and the product must begin with a 9. This means the last digit is 9. When we multiply by 9 we find 9*9 = 81 so the last digit of the product must be 1, carrying 8 towards the next digit and
The last two digits are 19.
Continuing in this manner we have 9 x 1 + carry over 8 = 7 carry 1, 9 x 7 + 1 = 4 carry 6 so that
The last 4 digits are 4719.
Continuing the backwards construction, we have
9 x 4 + 6 (carried over) = 42 = 2 carry 4
9 x 2 + 4 (carried over) = 2 carry 2
9 x 2 + 2 (carried over) = 0 carry 2
9 x 0 + 2 (carried over) = 2 carry 0
So currently we have 9 x 10………20224719 = 910…….._PHONE_
….and carrying on in this manner (9x2 +0 = 8 carry 1 etc) we eventually find the solution of 44 digits:
Incidentally, instead of terminating after 44, we could have continued the process, going round the loop once more. This would duplicate the 44 digit string giving us an 88 digit solution. 1011235955056179775280898876404494382022471910112359550561797752808988764044943820224719. But this is too large for the bank's specifications, thank goodness.
Construction of entire integer
To construct an integer with the required multiplication property, call it x and suppose it has k digits, with a last digit N. Then removing the last digit is equivalent to subtracting N and dividing by 10. We then put N at the front which is adding N x 10k-1. We deduce that
9x= (x-N)/10 + N(10k-1)
Or 90x = x-N +N(10k )
And solving for x
x = N(10k-1) / 89
This requires 10k - 1 to be divisible by 89. Using "Fermat's Little Theorem", since 89 is prime, this happens for k = 88 (and possibly for smaller values of k which divide 88). We know N = 9 giving a possible solution
x = 9(1088-1)/89 = 1011235955056179775280898876404494382022471910112359550561797752808988764044943820224719
However 88 digits is too long given the specification.
By inspection, we spot the smaller solution 10112359550561797752808988764044943820224719.
Note (1088-1) = (1044-1)(1044 + 1) and 1044 + 1 = _PHONE_……001 which on multiplication appends a 44 digit number to itself. So provided 89 divides 1044 - 1 and not 1044 + 1, we have a smaller solution.
3: Fiendish
A medieval farmer is in their house and needs to get water from a river and then take the water to animals in a barn. The farmer would like to take the shortest route to the barn, but doesn't know about calculus (as it hasn't yet been invented). The farmer's house is 400 yards west of the river, which runs north-south, and the barn is 200 yards west of the river, but 800 yards further north than the house. How can the farmer work out the shortest path, and how long will that path be?
Dr Daniel Mortlock, Lecturer in Astro-Statistics, Department of Physics
See the answer
See the answer
Solution: 1000 yards
There are several ways to solve this problem that don't involve calculus. The simplest is to imagine a "copy" of the barn that is at the same north-south position (i.e., 800 yards north of the farm) but 200 yards to the *east* of the river. The quickest route is then, obviously (at least assuming the farmer knows about Euclid) a straight line from the house to the "copy" barn. The implied path to the real barn is then like the farmer "bouncing" off the river like light off a mirror. The distance is given by Pythagoras's theorem as [(400 yards + 200 yards)^2 + (800 yards)^2]^(1/2) = 1000 yards. (It's actually a classic "3-4-5" triangle, albeit a bit disguised.)

I'm trying to figure out whether an alarm clock 吵醒我， or 叫醒我。 I'd like to say the sentence my alarm clock woke me up at 5:30 today my translation so far is 今天早上五点半， 我手机的闹钟叫醒了我。 Can 叫醒 be done by inanimate objects? Is this construction used in chinese?

Yes, that is fine; it is quite common to use 叫醒 with alarms.
In fact you can use both 吵醒 and 叫醒 here, although there's a small difference in connotations. It isn't a very strong distinction though, so you needn't be overly concerned.
Anyway, 叫醒 normally means the action was intended to wake you. In contrast 吵醒 carries the sense that being woken up is unplanned or unwanted, i.e. some noise woke you (implying you aren't happy about it). For example, if your neighbours' alarm woke you, you'd normally use 吵醒. If the hotel's morning call woke you, that's normally 叫醒.

Great explanation. – deutschZuid Jul 20 '14 at 22:13
Would this be a better translation of the entire sentence: 今天早上五点半我被手机闹钟叫醒了。? IE use 被 to say I was woken BY the alarm? – Daniel Howard Jul 21 '14 at 15:55
_USER_ yes, that flows better imho – Semaphore Jul 21 '14 at 16:45
Is depend how you what to tell others on the clock. If you set the alarm and you like to tell your friend about it, and you mentioned
I need alarm to wake me up then use '叫醒' You not intend to wake up but someone accidentally turn on alarm for you then you use '吵醒'
'叫醒' use when you need someone to wake you
'吵醒' use it when you don't intend wake up but someone/something disturb your sleep.

At the north-west corner of the Tapijn Barracks, there is a bridge on a cast-iron supporting structure: the supporting structure is part of the tram-line rail bridge from 1910.
In 1867, the decision was made to remove Maastricht's 'fortified town' status. Parts of the former fortifications on the south side of the city were designated as park sites from 1874 onwards, because these low-lying swampy sites were not considered suitable for housing construction. Only the area between the Wilhelmina Bastion and Hubertuslaan remained in possession of the Ministry of War as an exercise area for the garrison. In the first expansion plan of 1905, the strip between the river Jeker and the city wall was designated as an animal park, and a design for the layout of this park was included in this expansion plan.
In 1918, Leuven landscape architects Rosseels were invited to design a park on the old fortifications. This involved the construction of a park at the Wilhelmina Bastion. At the time, the park was still referred to as 'Wilhelminapark', but during the Second World War this name was changed to Aldenhof Park.
Wilhelmina Park was designed by Lieven Pierre Rosseels and his son Lieven Gustave. Forty unemployed people were set to work constructing the park and a bear pit, which was opened in 1920. Initially, it was the intention of the city council to erect other animal cages between the river Jeker and the city wall. The octagonal birdcage at the entrance to the park at St. Hubertuslaan is the only reminder of this idea. The deer park nearby was also built around 1925. In 1951, part of the original deer park was taken over by the barracks' new lecture and dorm building. In the current plans for the Tapijn area, the animal park will be completely renovated .
The remains of the tram bridge in the park are a remnant of the tram routes of the Belgian Local Railways that connected Maastricht with a number of towns in Belgium up to the Second World War. There were steam trams to Maaseik, Tongeren, and Glons. Café-restaurant De Tramhalte on Tongerseweg and the inscription 'Halte du Tram' (tram stop) on Koningin Emmaplein are also reminders of those tram routes. The tram route through the park behind the barracks began at Onze Lieve Vrouwewal. Next to the 'Pesthuis', or Plague House, there is another bridge that was built for the tram route. The tram ran behind Haat en Nijd roundel to the area where the barracks are now located.
The Belgian tram may return to Maastricht in the coming years, as there are advanced plans for a tram connection with Hasselt.

The Design of Sketch
Sketch is written almost completely in Python, an object oriented interpreted programming language. Python can easily be extended by modules written in C to increase performance and Sketch uses this fact to implement some time critical functions and Python objects in C.
The source code of Sketch can be divided roughly into these parts:
User Interface
Sketch currently uses the Tk Toolkit via the Tkinter module from the standard Python library. Sketch only uses some generic widgets like buttons, menus and scrollbars and none of the more sophisticated widgets like Tk's Text or Canvas widgets. The main widget where the drawing is displayed is a Tk widget that is almost entirely implemented in Python using a C-module that provides GCs, Pixmaps, Fonts etc as Python objects (This module is heavily based on the Xt module).
Sketch also has some classes that provide a more abstract interface to generic GUI elements like buttons and menus that hopefully make it relatively simple to switch to another toolkit. In fact I already switched toolkits once, from Xt/Athena to Tk, which was simpler than I had expected...
Graphics Devices
Sketch defines several classes for drawing into a window or into a PostScript file that share a common, generic interface. This allows us to use the same code for drawing on the screen and for printing.
Documentand Graphics Objects
These objects represent entire documents and the parts thereof in an abstract way. This representation is independent of any particular output device or operating system.
File IO
Sketch has classes and functions for reading drawings in several formats (well, just three as of this writing). Sketch of course defines its own special format and can read and write this. In addition, there is currently partial support for reading XFig files and Adobe Illustrator (AI) files. Many common drawing programs for MS Windows can export drawings in Illustrator format. Two examples of this file format can also be found in ghostscript's examples directory as and (Sketch can read these).
For reading bitmap graphics Sketch uses the Python Imaging Library so that it should be able to read everything that this library can read.
There are some modules that provide objects representing 2D points/vectors, rectangles, affine transformations, fonts and font-metrics, etc.
Sketch uses a variation of the model/view/controller concept. The document and graphics object classes form the model which represents the drawing in a device independent way and which can be manipulated through a specific set of methods. The class SketchCanvas serves both as the main view and controller. It manages a window graphics device that is used to display that drawing and it accepts user input in the form of mouse and keyboard events and translates them into method invocations on the document object.

 - This particular example can be rewritten using readUpdatableFragment_EXPERIMENTAL. However, you may prefer readUpdatableQuery_EXPERIMENTAL for several reasons:
 - You do not have ready access to a fragment reference, e.g. if the call to commitLocalUpdate is not obviously associated with a component.
 - You do not have ready access to a fragment where we select the parent record of the record we wish to modify (e.g. the Query in this example). Due to a known type hole in Relay, updatable fragments cannot be spread at the top level.
 - You wish to use variables in the updatatable fragment. Currently, updatable fragments reuse the variables that were passed to the query. This means that you cannot, for example, have an updatable fragment with fragment-local variables and call readUpdatableFragment_EXPERIMENTAL multiple times, each time passing different variables.

Format of Hosts. File Links
What is QuickDNS for?
 1. It speeds up your browser when it looks up a website.
 2. It enables your browser to find critical websites even when your DNS (Domain Name Service) servers are down.
Overview
How does it work? Let me explain with a familiar analogy. When you telephone someone, you either:
When your browser goes to a website, e.g. mindprod.com, similarly, it needs to look up the number to get the IP 65.110.21.43. Your computer does this automatically every time you visit a website by first visiting a computer on the web called a DNS server to look up the name for you.
DNS Lookup vs Hosts. Lookup
There are two problems with this:
 1. it adds an extra second or more to fetching a web page. It is a bit like looking up the number in an electronic phone book every time you make a phone call.
 2. if there is anything wrong with the DNS server, you are dead in the water, even if the website you want to visit is fully functional.
What you can do is create a little electronic address book of commonly visited websites called C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. The computer does not have to pester the DNS server to get these numbers. You can create this file manually with a text editor such as Notepad. You can manually look up the IPs of your common servers with the ping utility, e.g. on the command line type:
ping mindprod.com
The problem is, from time to time, the IPs change and your browser gets sent to the wrong IP. You need something to keep the list of IPs up to date. That is where QuickDNS comes in. You might run it every week or every time you reboot or every time lookup seems to be failing.
Advantages of QuickDNS
The advantages of using QuickDNS are:
Disadvantages of QuickDNS
Format of Hosts. File
Here is what a typical C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts. file looks like. Most of the comments were put there by Microsoft. The lines with an IP and domain, I put there with a text editor. # introduces a comment. # leave marks a line that QuickDNS should leave alone.
You can disable a website with a line like this: 127.0.0.1 google.cn
QuickDNS does not support the older W95, W98, Me, NT and W2K.
Running
You can run QuickDNS with this little bat file:
rem running QuickDNS
rem adjust drive and directory to match where you put the quickdns.jar file.
J:
cd \com\mindprod\quickdns
java -jar quickdns.jar
and it will check all the IPs and update any that have changed. It will leave alone those marked with #leave. Even when it does not change any IPs, it still tidies up the hosts. file into neat columns. It never changes the order of the entries or removes comments.
If you want to run this bat file automatically, every time you boot, put a shortcut to it in: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\ or use Ace utilities to insert a registry entry to arrange to have it run on boot.
Surprisingly, Windows immediately notices the changes and puts them into effect right away. You don't have to reboot.
Output
Typical output will look like this:
QuickDNS updated: 173.194.33.40 to 173.194.33.46 for apis.google.com
QuickDNS updated: 173.194.33.55 to 173.194.33.47 for google.ca
QuickDNS updated: 173.194.33.34 to 173.194.33.97 for google.com
QuickDNS updated: 104.20.3.47 to 104.20.2.47 for statcounter.com
QuickDNS updated: 173.194.33.38 to 173.194.33.36 for translate.google.com
QuickDNS updated: 159.33.3.85 to 23.3.105.160 for _URL_
QuickDNS updated: 23.6.98.234 to 23.6.162.234 for _URL_
QuickDNS made 7 updates to your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file.
If you don't see any output and you invoked with the shortcut quickdns.jar instead of java.exe -jar quickdns.jar, chances are you have *.jar associated with javaw.exe instead of java.exe. javaw.exe hides output.
Caveats
Make a back up copy of C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.. The hosts. file is fairly fragile and mysteriously becomes corrupted fairly often. Just copy your backup onto the damaged C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. and run QuickDNS. If that fails, reboot and repeat.
Windows 10
QuickDNS does not work under Windows 10 unless the bat file that invokes it has the run as administrator option. This is because Windows 10 now locks the hosts. file as a system file.

Important questions, fueled by potential answers at this one-day conference: "Looking Out, In, and Back: Artists on Citizenship"
What makes a citizen? How do the complex, elusive, and multifarious definitions of what it means to be an American exert their presence in art? And as the veil between artistic expression and political expression grows thin, how can contemporary artists shape and imagine new ways of being American? In this free-form, one-night-only conversation, four artists meet for the first time on stage to share their work and engage in a discussion about the intersection of art and American identity.
This interdisciplinary evening of performance and discussion brings together performance artist NIC Kay, author Lisa Ko, photographer Philip Montgomery, and stage and film director Yara Travieso, joined by Alejandro Rodriguez, artistic director of ASTEP's Artist as Citizen Conference.
A portion of the proceeds for this event will be donated to Artists Striving to End Poverty (ASTEP).

Drilling Fluid Shaker
Slurry treatment system developed by Apile is suitable for mud purification & recovery in positive/reverse circulation drilling and slurry balancing shield construction. It can greatly reduce not only construction cost but also environmental pollution, definitely one of the essentials for eco-friendly and well-organized construction.
- Fully purified slurry is good for controlling slurry indices and reducing accidents of drilling tool jamming, thus enhacing quality of hole building.
- Effective separation of drilling cuttings is good for enhancing the efficiency of hole building.
- Reuse of slurry is good for saving mud-made materials and reducing construction cost.
- The closed-cycle purification and lower moisture content are good for reducing enviromental pollution.
Scope of Application:
Widely used in oil drilling solids control, slurry recovery of trenchless construction, slurry purification in coalbed methane mining and slurry separation in shield pipe jacking construction.
