a single ~.
 If you have changed the escape character, then you should double
 that character in order to send it.
 Mail options
 Options are controlled via set and unset commands. Options may be either
 binary, in which case it is only significant to see whether they are set
 or not; or string, in which case the actual value is of interest. The
 binary options include the following:
 append Causes messages saved in mbox to be appended to the end rather
 than prepended. This should always be set (perhaps in
 /etc/mail.rc).
 ask, asksub
 Causes mail to prompt you for the subject of each message you
 send. If you respond with simply a newline, no subject field
 will be sent.
 askbcc Causes you to be prompted for additional blind carbon copy recip-
 ients at the end of each message. Responding with a newline
 indicates your satisfaction with the current list.
 askcc Causes you to be prompted for additional carbon copy recipients
 at the end of each message. Responding with a newline indicates
 your satisfaction with the current list.
 autoinc
 Causes new mail to be automatically incorporated when it arrives.
 Setting this is similar to issuing the inc command at each
 prompt, except that the current message is not reset when new
 mail arrives.
 autoprint
 Causes the delete command to behave like dp; thus, after deleting
 a message, the next one will be typed automatically.
 debug Setting the binary option debug is the same as specifying -d on
 the command line and causes mail to output all sorts of informa-
 tion useful for debugging mail.
 dot The binary option dot causes mail to interpret a period alone on
 a line as the terminator of a message you are sending.
 hold This option is used to hold messages in the system mailbox by
 default.
 ignore Causes interrupt signals from your terminal to be ignored and
 echoed as @'s.
 ignoreeof
 An option related to dot is ignoreeof which makes mail refuse to
 accept a control-D as the end of a message. ignoreeof also
 applies to mail command mode.
 keep Setting this option causes mail to truncate your system mailbox
 instead of deleting it when it's empty.
 keepsave
 Messages saved with the save command are not normally saved in
 mbox at quit time. Use this option to retain those messages.
 metoo Usually, when a group is expanded that contains the sender, the
 sender is removed from the expansion. Setting this option causes
 the sender to be included in the group.
 noheader
 Setting the option noheader is the same as giving the -N flag on
 the command line.
 nosave Normally, when you abort a message with two interrupt characters
 (usually control-C), mail copies the partial letter to the file
 dead.letter in your home directory. Setting the binary option
 nosave prevents this.
 quiet Suppresses the printing of the version when first invoked.
 Replyall
 Reverses the sense of reply and Reply commands.
 searchheaders
 If this option is set, then a message-list specifier in the form
 ''/x:y'' will expand to all messages containing the substring 'y'
 in the header field 'x'. The string search is case insensitive.
 If 'x' is omitted, it will default to the ''Subject'' header
 field. The form ''/to:y'' is a special case, and will expand to
 all messages containing the substring 'y' in the ''To'', ''Cc''
 or ''Bcc'' header fields. The check for ''to'' is case sensi-
 tive, so that ''/To:y'' can be used to limit the search for 'y'
 to just the ''To:'' field.
 verbose
 Setting the option verbose is the same as using the -v flag on
 the command line. When mail runs in verbose mode, the actual
 delivery of messages is displayed on the user's terminal.
 Option string values
 EDITOR Pathname of the text editor to use in the edit command and
 ~e escape. If not defined, /usr/bin/ex is used.
 LISTER Pathname of the directory lister to use in the folders com-
 mand. Default is /bin/ls.
 MBOX The name of the mbox file. It can be the name of a folder.
 The default is ''mbox'' in the user's home directory.
 PAGER Pathname of the program to use in the more command or when
 the crt variable is set. The default paginator more(1) is
 used if this option is not defined.
 REPLYTO If set, will be used to initialize the Reply-To field for
 outgoing messages.
 SHELL Pathname of the shell to use in the ! command and the ~!
 escape. A default shell is used if this option is not
 defined.
 VISUAL Pathname of the text editor to use in the visual command
 and ~v escape. If not defined, /usr/bin/vi is used.
 crt The valued option crt is used as a threshold to determine
 how long a message must be before PAGER is used to read it.
 If crt is set without a value, then the height of the ter-
 minal screen stored in the system is used to compute the
 threshold (see stty(1)).
 escape If defined, the first character of this option gives the
 character to use in the place of ~ to denote escapes.
 folder The name of the directory to use for storing folders of
 messages. If this name begins with a '/', mail considers
 it to be an absolute pathname; otherwise, the folder direc-
 tory is found relative to your home directory.
 indentprefix String used by the ~m tilde escape for indenting messages,
 in place of the normal tab character ('^I'). Be sure to
 quote the value if it contains spaces or tabs.
 record If defined, gives the pathname of the file used to record
 all outgoing mail. If not defined, then outgoing mail is
 not so saved.
 screen Size of window of message headers for z.
 sendmail Pathname to an alternative mail delivery system.
 toplines If defined, gives the number of lines of a message to be
 printed out with the top command; normally, the first five
 lines are printed.
ENVIRONMENT
 mail utilizes the HOME, LOGNAME, USER, SHELL, DEAD, PAGER, LISTER,
 EDITOR, VISUAL, REPLYTO, MAIL, MAILRC, and MBOX environment variables.
 If the MAIL environment variable is set, its value is used as the path to
 the user's mail spool.
FILES
 /var/mail/* post office (unless overridden by the MAIL
 environment variable)
 ~/mbox user's old mail
 ~/.mailrc file giving initial mail commands; can be
 overridden by setting the MAILRC environment
 variable
 /tmp/R* temporary files
 /usr/share/mailx/mail.*help help files

Some 224 artifacts dating from V century have been discovered on a 25 foot high mound in Sangalwala, Tibia village, 12 kilometers from Kamalia in the Toba Tek Singh district, Pakistan. These include clay bowls, animal and human figures, clay beads, iron household items, copper coins, bracelets, and stone objects. They have also been discovered human remains.
The Department of Archeology has excavated the mound for two years. The first phase began in March 2010 and concluded in May of that same year, having discovered large mud bricks and most pottery. The second phase took place between December 2010 and early 2011. A furnace and two-story structures were unearthed. The third phase of the excavation began in mid-February 2012 and will finish in June of this year. Most of the relics have been discovered in this phase.
Deputy Director of the Department of Archeology, Afzal Khan, says the area was surveyed by the Archaeological Survey of India in 1940 and declared as a archaeological site.
Discoveries of the historic city of Kamalia:
The project director, Maqsood Ahmed Malik, told The Expres Tribune that "there were stories about historical settlements in southern Punjab. The relics discovered confirm it". He says the excavations will give a glimpse of the history of settlements in Kamalia and Toba Tek Singh. Archaeological material and architectural resources show that the settlements in the area are of between the 5th and 14th centuries.
The main settlement belongs to the hindu shahi era while the architectural resources suggest later settlements of the muslim period, between the eleventh and fourteenth centuries, he says.
From the Arian dynasty:
Malik says that he suspects that some of the structures could belong to the Arian dynasty. The wall of a large fortification seems to mark a fortified enclosure In the area. It is two meters wide and three meters high. "The wall could be from the Arian dynasty, "he says. "If confirmed, it could help us establish Alexander's route. It is known that he attacked many fortifications in the area".
According to a document obtained by The Tribune, the structure discovered in the area reveals the use of two types of mud bricks that were used in two periods: between 700-1,000 after Christ and between 1,000-1,400 after Christ.
A team of six members of the Department of Archeology has carried out the excavation. The team, led by Harrapa Museum Curator Mohammad Hassan, includes an archeology student from Peshawar University, an archeology student from Sargodha University, two surveyors, a cartoonist and a photographer. The relics found at the site are being treated in an archaeological laboratory at Lahore Fort and by the chemists there.
With a degree in Journalism and Audiovisual Communication, since I was a child I have been attracted to the world of information and audiovisual production. Passion for informing and being informed of what is happening in every corner of the planet. Likewise, I am pleased to be part of the creation of an audiovisual product that will later entertain or inform people. My interests include cinema, photography, the environment and, above all, history. I consider it essential to know the origin of things to know where we come from and where we are going. Special interest in curiosities, mysteries and anecdotal events in our history.

Cultural Differences in Marriage
Begin by seeking knowledge and understanding of each other's culture. Then you can move into acceptance and appreciation. Your cultures are different, and one is not right and the other wrong.
Cultural exploration is especially important before a couple marries and has children. Your cultures will affect most aspects of your relationship. Areas affected include family relationships, roles of women and men, communication skills, physical hygiene, role of religion, importance of education and careers and clothing/manner of dress. Knowing each other as partners includes knowing each other's culture.
When you are in a committed relationship/marriage, it is wise to have your cultures be a source of harmony rather than disunity. Some ways that you can do this are being sensitive to each other's needs and choices, nurturing appreciation for each other's culture, being flexible, focusing on loving one another and having both a spirit of adventure and sense of humor.

ID Objectives
0 Vengeance from the Grave
10000 While exploring the Valewood wilderness, I happened upon a small cave where a great bear lived. In that cave, I discovered a half eaten corpse and a spirit that, through some work of magic, revealed to me the final moments of a man's life.
1 Confront Nonton.
10001 In the Valewood, I happened upon a curious hunter who told me his friend had been killed by a large bear in the area. After exploring the area, I found the cave, the bear, and Perly's remains. I experienced a vision of Perly's last moments, which revealed a far more sordid truth: His friend, Nonton, hamstrung him as he attempted to escape the bear. What reasons Nonton had for this are unclear. Perhaps I will find more answers by confronting the man himself. Nonton lives in the nearby town of Gilded Vale.
2 Find the man with the red cloak
10002 In the depths of the Valewood cavern, I happened upon a large bear feasting upon the body of a man who, by the look of things, had recently stumbled upon this den himself. When I approached the body, I had a sudden vision of the man's final moments, and knew him for a hunter from Gilded Vale. In the vision, he was led into the cave by a friend of his. When the bear attacked, his fellow hunter hamstrung him and fled, leaving him to be devoured. The culprit's only recognizable feature was his red cloak.
End states
Yes Accepted Bribe
30000 Having heard Ingroed's side of things, I decided to let her and Nonton leave Gilded Vale. Perhaps they can make a new life for themselves somewhere far from here.
Yes Killed the Couple
30002 I killed Ingroed and Nonton for the parts they played in Perly's death.
Yes Killed Nonton, Told Ghost
30003 I slew the hunter Nonton, only to find evidence of his crimes against an old friend within a cavern in the Valewood. I told Perly's spirit that his murderer was slain. Perhaps now his troubled soul will pass into the next life.
Yes Killed Couple, Told Ghost
30004 I slew Ingroed and Nonton, only to later find evidence of Nonton's crimes against an old friend within a cavern in the Valewood. I told Perly's spirit that his murderer was brought to justice. Perhaps now his troubled soul will pass into the next life.
Yes Killed the Couple before confronting them
30005 I killed Nonton, the man from the vision, and Ingroed with him. Whatever the tale behind Perly's death, it dies with them.

Proof that $\sqrt[3]{3}$ (Just need a check)
Let $\sqrt[3]{3}= \frac{a}{b}$ both a,b are integers of course. $\Rightarrow 3=\frac{a^{3}}{b^{3}}$ $\Rightarrow$ $3b^{3}=a^{3}$ $\Rightarrow$ 3b=a $\Rightarrow$ $3b^{3}=27b^{3}$ and this is a contradiction because the cubing function is a 1-1 function. Does this work?

Why is that $3b = a$? – Makoto Kato Sep 27 '12 at 5:10

No, $3b^3=a^3$ does not imply that $a=3b$. In fact if $a=3b$, then $a^3=(3b)^3=3^3b^3=27b^3$. What $3b^3=a^3$ does imply is that $3\mid a^3$, which then further implies that $3\mid a$. Then you have $a=3m$ for some integer $m$, and $3b^3=a^3=(3m)^3=27m^3$. Divide through by $3$ to get $b^3=9m^3$. Now $3\mid b^3$; what does this tell you about $b$? If you had begun by assuming (as you certainly may) that $\frac{a}b$ was in lowest terms, how would this be a contradiction?

Let $n \ge 2$ be an integer. Let $m \ge 2$ be a square free integer. I claim that $\sqrt[n]{m}$ is irrational. The claim that $\sqrt[3]{3}$ is irrational follows immediately.
Suppose $\sqrt[n]{m} = \frac{a}{b}$, where gcd$(a, b) = 1$. Then $b^n m = a^n$. Let $p$ be a prime number such that $p|m$. Since $p|a^n, p|a$. Hence $p^n|a^n$. Since $m$ is square free, $p^{n-1}|b^n$. Since $n \ge 2, p|b^n$. Hence $p|b$. Since gcd$(a, b) = 1$, this is a contradiction.

Below are a few ways to prove $\,3^{1/3}\,$ is irrational.
By the Rational Root Test, any rational root of $\rm\:x^3 - 3\:$ is an integer, contradiction.
$\rm\,3^{1/3} = a/b\:\Rightarrow\: a^3 = 3b^3\, $ contra unique factorization: the number of $3$'s in $\rm\,a^3\,$ is a multiple of $3$, versus one more than a multiple of $3$ in $\rm\,3b^3.$
Irrationality proofs for cube roots follow from irrationality proofs for square roots!
This inductive proof generalizes to higher-degree.

Supposing $\sqrt[3]{3}$ is a rational solution of an equation, we can assume $x=\sqrt[3]{3}$ and $x^3=3$. But $x^3=3 \Rightarrow x^3-3 =0$. The rational-root theorem tells us that for a polynomial $f(x) = a_nx^n + a_{n−1}x^{n−1} + \ldots + a_1x + a_0$ all of whose coefficients ($a_n$ through $a_0$) are integers, the real rational roots are always of the form $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ is an integer divisor of $a_0$ and $q$ is an integer divisor of $a_n$. In this equation the possible rational roots could be $3,-3,1,-1$ and there wasn't any $\sqrt[3]{3}$. So $\sqrt[3]{3}$ is an irrational number.

What is a button? Well, the answer varies depends on who's answering the question. Ask a tailor and he'll tell you a button is the simplest element used to keep clothes together. Ask a computer programmer and he'll probably tell you that a button is the simplest element used to hold a GUI application together.
Look at any Web page or application on your computer desktop and you'll see what we mean. The button is merely an element with text. When you click on it, it does something--usually exactly what the text says it will do. Click the "Save" button and your work is saved. Click the "Delete" button and your work is deleted. Simple, right?
In Shoes applications, the button is not only a simple and commonly-used element, but incredibly easy to create. The button method takes a single argument: the text to display in the button.

Artist Statement:
 Körper is an acousmatic piece entirely based on the elaboration of an acoustic pulse sequence which was produced in the course of a MRI diagnostic test. The aesthetic idea implied in the composition refers to the topical and controversial theme known as "global control and censorship". Through the examination of the constant and continuous information flow, which is either consciously or unconsciously produced by everyone, it is possible to accomplish a condition of control; that condition ought to benefit the national and global security. The question is: How deep or intrusive should the control on individuals be in order guarantee global well-being and security? If nowadays cameras and sensors constantly watch movements of the individuals in cities and buildings, can we assume that in the future cells and chemical reactions in our bodies will be scanned and examined in order to gather information to be collected, stored and processed? Technically speaking the composition uses exclusively a short audio recording of a MRI test. Spectral editing and resonant filters are chained in order to isolate restricted areas in the whole sound object. The foundation material is clearly revealed only at the very end of the piece.

It's normal to have peeling bark on this kind of tree
Readers also ask Don Kinzler questions about using gypsum to improve Red River Valley soil and if it's recommended to water fall-blooming perennials during this dry year.
Q: We just noticed that our pine tree has a lot of loose bark. I guess we're not very observant because it looks like it's been going on for some time. Is this due to the drought? We have not been watering the tree at all. Is it diseased and will it cause problems for neighboring trees? Any advice you could give us would be greatly appreciated. — Dorine F.
A: The peeling appearance of the bark on your Scotch pine branches is normal. In fact, one of the attractive features of Scotch pine is the striking, coppery, orange-colored bark that develops on main branches. The interesting bark also has a peeling texture as it ages, which is what you're seeing.
I did notice on the photos, though, an unrelated issue that might bear watching. Pine pitch is accumulating on some branches or trunks and must be exuding from wounds or openings.
If you've seen sapsucker or other woodpecker holes in the trunk, the sap is likely coming from these openings. If the activity of these birds is too frequent, with holes closely spaced, the tree's health can be affected as the flow of water and nutrients within the tree is disrupted.
It can be difficult to keep birds out of trees. Others in similar situations have tried scare devices hung from branches, including aluminum pie tins, balloons and owl or hawk decoys. Wrapping the trunk with burlap sometimes helps. Applying sticky Tanglefoot to the area of activity can be quite effective.

North Dakota research farm is a hidden horticultural gem
Keeping your lawn alive during a drought
Q: A professional friend suggested gypsum might benefit my lawn because of the clay soil. Do you have any information on using gypsum and potential benefits? — Judy F.
A: Gypsum has been greatly researched in North Dakota to determine its effect on problem soils. Research literature indicates gypsum can be beneficial in remedying difficult soils in localized areas that are high in sodium salts.
Gypsum doesn't, however, improve the workability or texture of heavy clay soils, such as found in the Red River Valley. I wish it did, but unfortunately it doesn't have that effect.
Gypsum is widely used in other parts of the country whose soil makeup and chemistry differs greatly from soil in the Upper Midwest. Our soils are generally plentiful in calcium, which is the main component of gypsum, and explains why gypsum isn't widely recommended for our regional soils, except in fields where tests have revealed sodium to be problematic.

Gardening columnist shares best perennials for mid-summer bloom
Q: I've got many fall-blooming perennials, like asters and mums. I haven't been able to water them much, but should I start doing so? Also, do tulip bulbs need to be watered when planting this fall? — Linda M.
A: I would definitely water fall-blooming perennials as regularly as you can, to help flower buds develop normally. The extended drought will likely diminish the bloom of many asters, mums and other fall flowers, as their energy and bud development are already likely stressed by this summer's hot, dry weather.
A deep soaking once or twice a week will help. Mulching the soil with 3 to 5 inches of shredded wood product will help keep the soil cool and conserve moisture.
Tulips and other fall bulbs should be watered immediately after planting in September or early October. These bulbs develop roots this fall, and moist soil is required. A light mulch of straw, shredded bark, leaves or untreated grass clippings will help retain moisture. If tulips are planted in soil that remains dry, next spring's growth will likely be disappointing.

Food System Assessments and Food Policy
As communities around the country begin to observe and acknowledge the far reaching impacts of our current food system, interest in connecting the dots by way of comprehensive local food system assessments has increased. Through food system assessments, communities can examine the connections between production, distribution, consumption and waste disposal and measure their impacts on the environment, human health and livelihoods through a set of indicators over time. Understanding the trends and relationships between elements within the food system ultimately assists community members and policy makers in pinpointing areas of concern and working for appropriate and equitable reforms.
SAREP has conducted several food system assessments with the goal of examining the overall viability of a county's food system and in so doing, identifying key steps necessary to strengthen the foundation for a thriving local food system.

Sight Words Snakes & Ladders
Sight Words Snakes & Ladders is a twist on the classic Chutes & Ladders board game, incorporating some reading into the game play. The game gives children many opportunities for sight words repetition, while the board game format keeps it fun and engaging.
This game works best with children that are already familiar with the Snakes & Ladders game. Trying to learn both the game and the words at the same time can be too much, particularly for younger children.
The game is most fun when played in a small group of 2-4 players, but a child can also play the game by himself.
The game requires just a few basic items: a game board, game pieces, and a die.

- Cardstock paper (approximately 110 lb / 200 gsm)
- Game Pieces (checkers, coins, blocks, etc.)
To make the Snakes & Ladders board, print out a Snakes & Ladders board and print it on four sheets of cardstock paper. Trim the edges off the four sheets and tape them together with clear tape. Using tape allows the board to be folded for easy storage in your sight words file when not in use.
Play the game as you would regularly play Snakes & Ladders. But when the player moves their game piece to a new spot, they must read each word along their path in order to progress. If they are unable to read one of the words, then they stop on that word until their next turn.
The player(s) begin by placing their game pieces on the START square. The first player rolls the die and moves forward that number of spaces. On each space the player needs to say the word written on the space in order to keep moving. If they don't know a word or can't say the word in less than 10 seconds, then their turn stops and we do a quick correction to help them learn the word.
If a player rolls a number that lands them at the bottom of a ladder and they get the word correct, they may "climb" to the square at the top of the ladder. If a player rolls a number that lands them on the head of a snake, then they "slide" down to the square at the snake's tail.
The game finishes when all the players get to the FINISH square, with the first player to the end being declared the winner. You do not have to roll an exact number to finish the game.

Working with Dates in IBM BPM
Many of us (ibm bpm developers) are wondering on perform certain operation like comparing dates, find difference between dates and such stuff as Date not a simple type but is complex system object. But thanks to bpm suite, the implementation to do these operations are all already in place and if we give simple syntax which we use with simple types it will do the job. Here a some of the operations which I would like to illustrate in this post.
How to Comparing date1 and date2?
Comparing dates is as simple as comparing two integers.
Suppose I have two date variables tw.local.date1 and tw.local.date2.
In order to compare dates we just have to use the statements as shown below.
 tw.local.date1 > tw.local.date2 or
 tw.local.date1 < tw.local.date2
Above statement will be evaluated to true or false in the similar way when used with integers.
Above statements will consider time stamp as well. If you want to check this irrespective of time, then first set the hours, min and seconds for these dates to same values and then compare. You have to first set hours, seconds and then milliseconds.
How to Compare date to current date?
For this, first we need to get the current date and store it in a variable.
var currentDate= new TWDate();
then set currentDate and hours, seconds and milliseconds to same value and then compare like above.
To set the hours, minutes and seconds you can use script similar to the one shown below.;
How to increase the 'n' no of days to a date?
You can just get the date from and add number of days and set that value to again. This will increase the number of days automatically.Refer to below script. + X number of days)
Below scenarios will be automatically taken care when we add days.
scenario1: if = 3/12/2013, if we want to add 3 days to this date, the final date will become 6/12/2013
scenario2: if = 31/12/2013, if we want to add 3 days to this date, the final date will become 3/1/2014. We don't have to explicitly Change the month and year.
scenario2: if = 31/10/2013, if we want to add 3 days to this date, the final date will become 3/11/2013. We don't have to explicitly Change the month.
Hope you find it use full.
 1. Hi Anna
 please explain what is dojo toolit, how it is related with coach view
 2. Hi
 i can't able to set the hours and minutes and seconds value as you defined previously.
 var currentDate= new TWDate();
 Try this:
 var currentDate = new TWDate();"Current Date: " + currentDate);
 currentDate.setDate(currentDate.getDate() + parseInt(tw.env.Days)); = currentDate;
 currentDate.setMinutes(currentDate.getMinutes() + parseInt(tw.env.Mins)); = currentDate;"xxx: " +;


Wire Housings & Plugs
PCB connector housings provide a receptacle for connectors when they are mounted onto a printed circuit board. PCB connectors are used to link different printed circuit boards to one another, or to allow a cable to be connected to a PCB.
How do PCB connector housings work?
PCB connector housings are molded according to the type of PCB connector they are designed to fit. The connector is mounted on to the PCB using the PCB connector housing, and the housing provides some level of protection for the connection. PCB connector housings also include space for the PCB connector contacts, to allow the current of electricity to flow.
Types of PCB connector housings
The main way in which PCB connector housings differ is in the number of contacts they accommodate. This can range from just one contact to over 100. They can also be made from a range of materials, depending on the level of protection required for the connector.


store the data with just enough information to find the next block, and next block, until we have read back the whole sequence.
So the block-sequence is pretty much a file. It's actually very much a file because this is incidentally how harddisks and floppy disks organize files. It had a more complex layout of course, but the idea is the same. A "track-disk-device" stores blocks of data organized in tracks and sectors (sequences). Not a 1:1 comparison but neat none the less.
But ok, we now have some idea about storing larger pieces of data as a chunk of blocks. But why not just store the data directly? Why not just append each record to a file and to hell with block chunks – wouldnt that be faster?
db_file_sequence
Well yes, but how would you recycle the space? Lets say you have a database with 10.000 records, each with different sizes, and you want to delete record number 5500. If you just append stuff, how would you recycle that space? There is no way of predicting the size of the next sequence, so you could end up with large segments of empty space that could never be recycled.
By conceptually dividing the file into predictable blocks, and then storing data in chunks where each block "knows" it's next of kin – and holds a reference to its root (the fbFirst field), we can suddenly solve the problem of recycling!
Ok, lets sum up what we have so far:
 - We have solved storing arbitrary length data by dividing the data into conceptual blocks. These blocks dont have to be next to each other.
 - We have solved reading X number of blocks to re-create the initial data
 - We call the collection of blocks that makes up a piece of data a "sequence"
 - The immediate benefit of block-by-block storage is that space can be recycled. Blocks dont have to be next to each other, a record can be made up by blocks scattered all over the place but still remain coherent.
Not bad! But we are still not home free, there is another challenge that looms above, namely how can we know if a block is available or occupied?
Keeping track of blocks
This is actually a pretty cool place in the buildup of an engine, because the way we read, write and figure out what blocks can be recycled – very much impacts the speed of high-level functions like inserts and navigation. This is where I would introduce memory mapped files before I moved on, but like I mentioned earlier -we will skip memory mapping because the article would quickly morph into a small essay. I don't want memory mapping and MMU theory to overshadow the fundamental principles that I'm trying to pass on.
We have now reached the point where we ask the question "how do we quickly keep track of available free blocks?", which is an excellent question with more than a single answer. Some database vendors use a separate file where each byte represents a block. My first experiment was to use a text file, thinking that functions like Pos() would help me locate blocks faster. It was a nice idea but we need more grunt than that.
What I landed on after some experimentation, which is a good compromise between size and speed, was to use a bit buffer to keep track of things. So a single bit is either taken (1) or available (0). You can quickly search for available bits because if a byte has any other value than $FF (255) you know there is a free bit there. It's also very modest with regards to size, and you can keep track of 10.000 blocks with only 1250 bytes.
The code for the bit-buffer was written to be easy to use. In a high-end engine you would not waste the cpu time by isolating small calculations in a single method, but try to inline as much as possible. But for educational purposes my simple implementation will be more than adequate.
Note: I will be setting up a github folder for this project, so for our next article you can just fork that. WordPress has a tendency to mess up Delphi code, so if the code looks weird don't worry, it will all be neatly organized into a project shortly.
The file header
Before we look at the bit code to keep track of blocks, you might be thinking "what good is it to keep track of blocks if we have nowhere to store that information?". You are quite right, and this is where the file header comes in.
The file header is the only fixed part of a database file. Like I mentioned earlier there are engines that stuffs everything into a single file, but in most cases where performance is the highest priority – you want to use several files and avoid mixing apples and oranges. I would store the block-map (bit buffer) in a separate file – because that maps easily into memory under normal use. I would also store the table definitions, indexes and more as separate files. If nothing else than to make repairing and compacting a database sane. But i promised to do a single file model (me and my big fingers), so we will be storing the meta-data inside the database file, so let's do just that.
The file-header is just a segment of the database-file (the start of the file) that contains some vital information. When we calculate the stream offset to each block (for either reading or writing), we simply add the size of the header to that. We don't want to accidentally overwrite that part of the file.
Depending on how we evolve the reading and writing of data sequences, the header doesn't have to contain that much data. You probably want to keep track of the page-size, followed by the start block for the table definitions. So when you open a database you would immediately start by reading the block-sequence containing all the definitions the file contains. How we organize the data internally is irrelevant for the block-file and IO scaffolding. It's job is simple: read or write blocks, calculate offsets, avoid killing the header, pay attention to identifiers.
Some coders store the db schemas etc. at the end of the file, so when you close the DB the information is appended to the filestream – and the offset is stored in the header. This is less messy, but also opens up for corruption. If the DB is not properly closed you risk the DB information never being streamed out. Which is again another nail in the coffin for single-file databases (at least from my personal view, there are many ways to Rome and database theory can drive you nuts at times).
So I end this first article of our series with that. Hopefully I have given you enough ideas to form a mental image of how the underlying structure of a database file is organized. There are always exceptions to the rule and a wealth of different database models exists. So please keep in mind that this article has just scratched the surface on a slab of concrete.

is not really a mathematical paradox. In particular, what does it mean to be "described?"
But in recursion theory, we can define what we mean by "described" and the size of a statement.
If we could solve the halting problem, we could write a program that computes, for any $N$ the smallest natural number that is not equal to $\phi_n(m)$ for $n,m\leq 2^{N}$. Essentially, we would, for each $n,m<2^N$, ask the halting program whether $\phi_n(m)$ halts, and, if so, compute the value and exclude it.
Say this program computes $\rho(N)$. Assuming the halting problem has a solution, then $\rho$ is recursive, so there is an $n_0$ such that $\rho=\phi_{n_0}$. But then $\rho(n_0)=\phi_{n_0}(n_0)$. This yields your contradiction. $\rho(n_0)$ cannot be the output of any $\phi_n(m)$ with $m,n<2^{n_0}$. But $\rho(n_0)=\phi_{n}(m)$ with $m=n=n_0<2^{n_0}$.
For some reason, I like starting with this informal paradox, and then working from there to try to formalize it, and seeing that, in formalizing it, we've gotten to showing that the halting problem has no solution.
As others have noted, I doubt you can avoid diagonalization at some point. In particular, you are talking about programs that analyze programs, so the "I am lying" paradox is always a risk in such a system.
You might, however, be able to talk about other unsolvable problems. Hilbert's 10th problem, seeking a program that takes a diophantine equation and returns whether it has a solution, would be easy to solve with a really limited subset of the halting problem.
You might also try to find limited subsets of the recursive functions for which you can solve the halting problem.

Yes, scientists are studying your poop to track new COVID-19 variants. Here's how it works
In Oklahoma, some COVID-19 research starts with your poo.
Technically, the human waste collected at wastewater treatment plants and sewer pipes around the state are tested for the presence of coronavirus, which gives health officials a clearer picture of how the virus has spread.
Samples collected in January, for example, showed that three emerging variants of concern had arrived in Oklahoma.
"People start shedding the virus in their feces soon after infection, about the same timing that you can detect it in the nasal pharyngeal swab," said Brad Stevenson, associate professor of microbiology at the University of Oklahoma. "The concentrations are high enough that we can detect (virus from) an individual in a building or individuals in a neighborhood, of course citywide as well."
How the project got started
The project began at OU in Stevenson's lab using samples collected from dormitories. It expanded statewide with help from OU Health and the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and the Oklahoma City-County Health Department.
Raw sewage is sampled from wastewater treatment plants in Oklahoma City, Midwest City, Norman, Anadarko and Tulsa, and from sewer manholes at 14 locations across Oklahoma City.
Wastewater treatment plants are used to sanitize human waste, and in many cases, allow it to re-enter the watershed safely. Biosolids are separated and often used as fertilizer.
Using poop to identify COVID hotspots
Jason Vogel, director of the Oklahoma Water Survey and professor in the OU School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science, said the sewage surveillance project isn't meant to identify individual cases of COVID-19.
"It's really meant to be a planning tool and to identify hot spots, and also to look at trends over time — especially when we get to the wastewater treatment plant level," Vogel said. "That could be a conglomerate of 50,000 or 100,000 or more people, but over time we can look at trends and see how the population is doing."
Scientists have analyzed wastewater for decades to measure, on a large scale, what humans put into their bodies. Samples can show what kinds of pharmaceuticals or illicit drugs are being used, or detect the emergence of disease. Stevenson said Oklahoma's project builds on the work of others.
Sharing Oklahoma's COVID-19 data
"One of the things that's been really remarkable during the pandemic is that scientists all over the world have been sharing their data really openly, their experiences, their successes and failures and limitations," he said. "And so I'm participating in more open science now than ever before."
The project launched at a time when state epidemiologists faced challenges on drawing conclusions based only on individual test results and case reports. That's where the program's value lies, said Oklahoma City-County Health Department Chief Operating Officer Phil Maytubby.
Recent sewage surveillance shows a marked discrepancy between positive clinical test results and the presence of coronavirus in wastewater, meaning that there likely are more people walking around with COVID-19 than test results indicate.
Are Oklahomans with COVID-19 going untested?
"We think that there may be a lot more asymptomatic people out there that really don't know they have COVID so they haven't even sought out testing," Maytubby said. "Actually we've been working on messaging around that because right now the allergies are so bad for a lot of folks right now. They may think they have allergies and they may have COVID."
The health department soon will open vaccine sites targeted to specific geographic populations based on the data collected from wastewater.
Sewage surveillance isn't 100% conclusive, Maytubby added, but it does give health officials a good idea of what's going on. This technology could also be used in the future, whether it's monitoring for another wave of coronavirus or other diseases that afflict Oklahomans.
"It's going to be a great early warning system if we get any new novel viruses that are out there. As long as there's a way to test them, we can check that," he said.

Schatz, Thune Reintroduce Legislation To Update Section 230, Strengthen Rules, Transparency On Online Content Moderation, Hold Internet Companies Accountable For Moderation Practices
Bipartisan PACT Act Repeals Immunity From Civil Actions Brought By Federal Agencies, Empowers State AGs To Enforce Section 230, Protect Consumers
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Brian Schatz (D-Hawai'i) and John Thune (R-S.D.) reintroduced the Platform Accountability and Consumer Transparency (PACT) Act, bipartisan legislation to update Section 230 of the Communications Act. The PACT Act will make platforms' content moderation practices more transparent and hold those companies accountable for content that violates their own policies or is illegal.
"Section 230 gave internet companies the flexibility to grow the internet economy along with the responsibility of setting and enforcing reasonable rules on content. After 25 years, it is clear that some companies have not done enough. We need some common-sense reforms," said Senator Schatz. "Our bipartisan bill updates Section 230 by making platforms more accountable for their content moderation policies and providing more tools to protect consumers."
"The bipartisan PACT Act is a common-sense legislative approach to preserve user-generated content and free speech on the internet, while increasing consumer transparency and the accountability of big internet platforms. As the previous chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee and current ranking member of the Subcommittee on Communications, Media, and Broadband, I've been working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for years to pursue policies that protect online consumers by giving them more control of their online experience. This legislation would take several meaningful steps in the right direction, and it's a big win for America's ever-expanding digital landscape and the consumers who depend on it," said Senator Thune.
Enacted in 1996, Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 offers broad immunity to internet companies for hosting user-generated content and provides protection for platforms that take an active role moderating content on their sites. More than two decades later, while Section 230 has allowed the internet economy to thrive, these protections have led to inconsistent, opaque content moderation practices, a lack of online platform accountability, and an inability to enforce federal regulations in the digital world.
The Schatz-Thune PACT Act creates more transparency by:
- Requiring online platforms to explain their content moderation practices in an acceptable use policy that is easily accessible to consumers;
- Implementing a biannual reporting requirement for online platforms that includes disaggregated statistics on content that has been removed, demonetized, or deprioritized; and
- Promoting open collaboration and sharing of industry best practices and guidelines through a National Institute of Standards and Technology-led voluntary framework.
The PACT Act will hold platforms accountable by:
- Requiring large online platforms to provide due process protections to consumers by having a defined complaint system that processes reports and notifies users of moderation decisions within twenty-one days, and allows consumers to appeal online platforms' content moderation decisions;
- Amending Section 230 to require that large online platforms remove court-determined illegal content and activity within four days; and
- Allowing smaller online platforms to have more flexibility in responding to user complaints, removing illegal content, and acting on illegal activity, based on their size and capacity.
The PACT Act will protect consumers by:
- Exempting the enforcement of federal civil laws from Section 230 so that online platforms cannot use it as a defense when federal regulators, like the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission, pursue civil actions online;
- Allowing state attorneys general to enforce federal civil laws against online platforms; and
- Requiring the Government Accountability Office to study and report on the viability of a FTC-administered whistleblower program for employees or contractors of online platforms.


[Suggestion] More education on breaking down camera functionality
Hi - I'd like to see a more indepth approach to documenting/tutorializing how cameras work with pawns, as level actors, and with characters. Each piece of sample content seems to approach cameras in sometimes very different ways and it's not made clear as to why this implementation is used vs. that implementation etc. Like how is there always a default camera even without a level actor camera or component camera. And what happens in the viewtarget system. Which components need to be used to produce camera rotations, blending etc. Which classes need to be used for each condition - like pawn with third person camera should be x, character with 2 camera types etc.
I've just noticed an enormous amount of questions that aren't addressed concerning cameras and there is no one spot where camera functionality is properly broken down with examples so it's taking me a long time to search and gather information on the internet just to answer very simple questions.
Yes I have read the camera responsibility chain docs etc but it has zero examples or even a simple diagram. And why isn't there a camera-aim component in the camera actor wrapper class?
I agree. When I was trying to figure out my camera I had to search through tons of documentation, tutorials, etc just to get an idea where to start. Given how basic cameras are this could use an in depth tutorial all by itself.

Skeleton keys are one of the most original forms of keys. Such keys were first created in medieval times. The reason that these keys came to be known as a key that could open all locks is because so many locks had the same form back then. Actually, the only reason a skeleton key works is because the design of the lock is not unique, and so a common form of key can open it. The true "skeleton key" of today is actually the master key, which is designed to open all locks in a particular set.
- Skill level:
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Blank Key
- Metal Saw
- Vice Grip
- Metal File
- Combination Key Lock to Open
Take the lock that you want to pattern the key after, and place in the vice. Using the screwdriver and hammer, pop the back panel off the lock to get to the locking mechanism.
Taking the second panel off. Using the same method, use the screwdriver and hammer to get the second, thicker plate off the back of the lock. This will be a similar technique to getting the lid off a paint can. Once the lid is off, take the keyhole out of the lock.
Sawing the keyhole is the next step. Place the keyhole in the vice grip. Using the metal saw, make three incisions into the keyhole on each side of the cylindrical shaft. Saw the top, and two sides of the keyhole. This procedure will eliminate the metal casing around the keyhole, revealing the key pattern.
Hold the casing upright in your hand so that the protruding end faces up. Remove the two thinner sides of the casing from the keyhole very carefully. Next remove the protruding bit of casing. Be extremely careful, otherwise loose pieces will go flying all over the room, and you will have to start over with a new lock. The springs should fall away gently. The only thing left visible should be the pins standing on what is left of the keyhole.
Remove the top set of pins from the keyhole, leaving the bottom set. Insert the blank key into the keyhole. This will cause the remaining pins to poke through the top of the keyhole. Take the key out of the lock. Use the metal file to file the blank key until all the pins lay flat across the top of the keyhole. This will make the key fit most locks of a similar size.
Tips and warnings
- An electric metal file will make the filing process go much quicker.
- Be sure to use the kind of lock that you want to open when making your skeleton key, otherwise it probably won't work in the lock you need opened.
- When filing the key, make sure not to file too much. Otherwise the pins will not lay flat on the surface of the lock, and the key will not work.

Broken leg in a Car Accident what are my options?
Recently on our disability forum a user asked, If I have been involved in a severe car accident and I have broken my leg will I automatically receive Social Security Disability Insurance for the months I am unable to work? get-filing-disability-help
Qualifying for SSDI after a car accident
Social Security Disability Insurance or SSDI may be offered to claimants who have suffered severe injuries following a car accident, but whether or not they will be awarded SSDI benefits will depend on whether the claimant meets the medical and nonmedical requirements for SSDI benefits. For example, the SSA will only award SSDI benefits to claimants who are not currently working and making too much money, who are insured for SSDI benefits, who have a severe mental or physical health condition, and who have a condition which is expected to last for at least 12 continuous months. So lets look at a common injury from a car accident. Lets say, for example, you have been involved in a car accident and you have a broken leg. Assuming you meet the nonmedical requirements for SSDI benefits, the SSA will review whether or not they believe your broken leg will last 12 continuous months and will not allow you to work.
Making a disability determination for a broken leg
Breaking a major bone in the body such as your tibia or fibula can be very serious. Common symptoms of a broken leg may include the inability to walk for several months, instability or deformity in the leg, and loss of feeling in the foot. Severe complications are also not that unusual and can include bone fragments that tear muscles or nerves, swelling of the leg (compartment syndrome), infection, and bone clots. To determine if your broken leg is severe the SSA will review the SSA Listing of Impairments (a listing of some of the most common conditions and their corresponding symptoms which they assume are disabling). There is a listing for bone fractures under 1.00 Musculoskeletal System, Section 1.06 Fracture of the femur, tibia, pelvis, or one or more of the tarsal bones. Your condition may meet this listing if you break your tibia and an X-ray or other imaging showing that the bone has not healed, the doctor acknowledges your bones have not healed properly, and you are unable to walk effectively (meaning for any substantial distance or period of time). There is also a separate listing for fractures for major dysfunction of a joint.
Broken leg and cannot work
If you have not broken your tibia but you have broken your fibula, you may also have injuries which are so severe that they meet or equal the listing identified above. Other claimants may have a condition which does not meet or equal a listing but the condition is so severe it does not allow them to perform work. For example, if you have a broken leg and you have limited ambulatory ability, you cannot put weight on your leg, and you cannot focus or complete work due to medications and their side-effects such as fatigue and decreased reaction time, you may be able to prove your residual functional capacity to work is so low you cannot retrain for new work.

Former Aiken drugstore featured in the 'Green Book' served blacks, whites as equals
On the corner of Richland Avenue and Newberry Street in downtown Aiken is a building that has great historical significance, especially to one local family.
"This is the story of two families, the Johnson family and the McGhee family," Bill McGhee said. "The Johnson family was headed by Dr. C.C. Johnson, who was a pharmacist and a doctor. The other family was the McGhee and McGhee family, they were contractors."
Dr. C.C. Johnson's Drug Store was built in 1920. It was featured in the 1940 edition of "The Negro Motorist Green Book," a travel guide first published in 1936 was updated annually for decades.
The "Green Book" helped black travelers find businesses, such as restaurants and hotels, in every state that would serve them during the Jim Crow era, when segregation was legal and businesses could refuse service on racial grounds.
Johnson was a figure of historic note in the Aiken community. He was considered the first physician of color to operate in Columbia before moving to Aiken in the early 1900s. One of his many contributions to the community was becoming an important donor of the Aiken Graded School, an all-black elementary school built in 1925.
In 1920, he commissioned McGhee and McGhee, an all-black construction company, to build a new pharmacy on the corner of Richland Avenue and Newberry Street. The building became the home of Dr. C.C. Johnson's Drug Store, which served black and white customers side-by-side during the height of segregation.
″…One of the major features of the drugstore was the soda fountain," said Bill McGhee, a descendant of both Johnson and the McGhee family who still lives in Aiken. "The soda fountain was integrated. In the 1920s, blacks and whites could come here and be served at the counter and sit at the counter at the soda fountain."
The business also employed a variety of black medical professionals. Mason Johnson, another descendant of Dr. C.C. Johnson, extensively detailed his grandfather's contributions to Aiken and provided as vivid a description of what the drugstore was like.
"From its earliest days, Dr. C.C. Johnson's Pharmacy was recognized as a unique institution, providing opportunities for young (and not so young) black medical professionals to practice their skills," reads Johnson's website.
While McGhee said his family have never heard of any resistance to the drugstore's lack of segregation, not all places were as progressive. One of the family stories passed down about the drug store was that it was located close to a public pool that was for whites-only.
The building is no longer owned by descendants of Dr. C.C. Johnson. In 2017, as part of the Renaissance downtown redevelopment plan, it was considered for demolition to free up property for a parking garage.
"We would like to see it maintained," McGhee said.
The travel guide featuring the former drugstore has garnered recent attention after being the subject of the recent award-winning movie "Green Book."
A modern version of the book exists today. The Green Book of South Carolina website lists historic sites of African-American cultural significance across the state, including the Aiken Graded School and Carrsville in North Augusta.
Multiple editions of the "Green Book" can be read online for free in the digital collections of The New York Public Library at digitcalcollections.nypl.org.
Several other Aiken businesses were featured in the 1940 edition of the book, including the C.F. Holland tourist home on Richland Avenue and Chauffeurs Inn on Sumter Street.
Of these locations, the site of the former drugstore may be the only one that remains in Aiken today.
"Evidently, they were aware that they could come to this store," McGhee said.


How Much Content Can a Craft Site Have?
People often ask how much content Craft CMS or Craft Commerce can handle with specific numbers in mind for entries, users, orders, assets, and other element types.
Craft's license doesn't put any limitations on your content, but the number of elements it can ultimately support depends on how your site is built, optimized, and hosted.
There are Craft CMS and Craft Commerce sites in the wild running smoothly with tens of millions of elements, and we've seen smaller sites struggle to keep up with modest amounts of traffic. The answer is usually "yes, Craft can handle that," but you should take care with a few things that maximize your site's ability to handle a growing body of content:
 - Utilize smart caching strategies on the front end of the site, which balance how the site is built and deployed with how it needs to be used by each visitor or customer.
 - Eager load your data wherever possible to maximize database query efficiency.
 - Make sure you've got adequate infrastructure with enough resources for PHP, the database, Redis, etc.
 - Tune database indexes specifically for your site. Craft provides a reasonable set of indexes for the most common types of queries a site might use, and on modestly-sized sites any missed opportunities for index tailoring will probably go unnoticed. Those same issues, however, will gradually be amplified as larger datasets grow.
 - Be cautious with information architecture. Content modeling complexity comes with more database queries. These queries may need more time to execute and closer attention to measure and optimize. A Plain Text field, for example, will be vastly more efficient than a Neo field inside a Super Table field in a Matrix field. Your site's intended scale and resources should factor into content modeling design decisions.
 - Mind your site count. Every site you add to an installation is generally a multiplier for the number of queries that need to be executed. A site with complex information architecture may trigger 200 queries for a single site that total 800 queries for a four-site installation. Consider your content modeling and propagation along with however many sites you plan to use.


text: The 2010 Eyjafjallajökull volcano eruption had serious consequences to civil aviation. This has initiated a lot of research on volcanic ash forecast in recent years. Ensemble-based data assimilation uses the observation data to improve the parameter and state estimation and subsequently the volcanic ash forecast accuracy. Due to the computational complexity of ensemble-based algorithms and the large scale of real-life applications, application of these methods usually introduces a large computational cost, particularly in the analysis step of assimilation processes. Because the other time-consuming part in the single CPU case, the forecast step, can be efficiently and easily parallelized. In this study, we focus on speeding up of the analysis step. For volcanic ash assimilation of aircraft-based measurements, the most time-consuming part in the analysis step has been shown to be the computation of the Kalman gain matrix. After a careful study on the characteristics of ensemble ash states, we propose a model-reduced Kalman gain (MR-Gain) approach which transforms the ensemble state matrix into a low-rank matrix by a multiplication with an index matrix which recorded the sparsity information of the ensemble state matrix, and thus the computational cost of all the ensemble-related matrix multiplications are reduced. After the computation of Kalman gain, using the previously recorded state index, the full analyzed ensemble states are reconstructed. The result shows the MR-Gain approach is exact, which can be used to replace the original full matrix with a much low computation cost. Computer experiments show that the computing time for the analysis step with the new approach is a factor of ten times faster than the conventional analysis step. The result also shows that with the accelerated analysis step in volcanic ash assimilation system, the total amount of computing time for volcanic ash forecast can be significantly reduced by up to a factor of 5.

Definitions for SOSˈɛsˌoʊˈɛs
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word SOS
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
an internationally recognized radiotelegraphic distress signal, used esp. by ships and consisting of the letters SOS spelled out in Morse Code (•••–––•••).
any call for help.
Origin of SOS:
an internationally recognized distress signal in radio code
The conventional Morse code call made by a ship in distress.
The keel has been scuppered uE000130217uE001 send out an SOS.
a children's game involving placing S's and O's on a grid, and collecting points by creating an "SOS" sequence, played with alternating turns by opponents.
Origin: Contraction of so + is
SOS is the commonly used description for the international Morse code distress signal. This distress signal was first adopted by the German government in radio regulations effective April 1, 1905, and became the worldwide standard under the second International Radiotelegraphic Convention, which was signed on November 3, 1906 and became effective on July 1, 1908. SOS remained the maritime radio distress signal until 1999, when it was replaced by the Global Maritime Distress Safety System. SOS is still recognized as a visual distress signal. From the beginning, the SOS distress signal has really consisted of a continuous sequence of three-dits/three-dahs/three-dits, all run together without letter spacing. In International Morse Code, three dits form the letter S, and three dahs make the letter O, so "SOS" became an easy way to remember the order of the dits and dahs. In modern terminology, SOS is a Morse "procedural signal" or "prosign", and the formal way to write it is with a bar above the letters: SOS. In popular usage, SOS became associated with such phrases as "save our ship", "save our souls" and "send out succour". These may be regarded as mnemonics, but SOS does not actually stand for anything and is not an abbreviation, acronym or initialism. In fact SOS is only one of several ways that the combination could have been written; VTB, for example, would produce exactly the same sound, but SOS was chosen to describe this combination. SOS is the only 9-element signal in Morse code, making it more easily recognisable, as no other symbol uses more than 8 elements.

Other Forms of LignansLignan
Lignans are a diverse group of plant-derived compouds that are the building block for plant cell walls. Lignans are one of two major classifications of phytoestrogens; the other class is isoflavonones. Lignans are a weak form of estrogen that act as an antiestrogen in the body, competing for estrogen receptor sites. Lignans can be found in whole grains, seeds, berries, and vegetables. The richest source of lignans is flaxseed. Lignans are being heavily studied for role in the prevention of cancer, among many other important functions, such as antioxidant activities.

This article is about the dungeon inside the Divine Beast. For the Divine Beast in other uses, see Vah Ruta.
The Divine Beast Vah Ruta is one of the four Divine Beasts in Breath of the Wild. The interior of Vah Ruta serves as one of the four main dungeons in the game. Link must defeat Waterblight Ganon in order to free the mechanical beast from Ganon's control.
Gaining Entrance
See also: Divine Beast Vah Ruta (Main Quest)
After Link has completed Reach Zora's Domain and obtained at least twenty Shock Arrows, he meets Prince Sidon at East Reservoir Lake. From there, Sidon will swim around the lake with Link on his back, while the Malice-controlled Vah Ruta will defend itself with giant ice cubes and spiked ice balls shot from cannons. Use Cryonis to destroy these.
Eventually, Sidon will swim in close, allowing Link to use the Zora Armor to swim up a torrent of water and hit a glowing orb with a Shock Arrow. Once all four orbs have been hit, the Divine Beast is subdued, and Sidon brings Link to the entrance.
Dungeon Overview
When entering the Divine Beast, there is a shut gate on the left in the first room. Shoot the eyeball to destroy the Malice, then open the gate with Cryonis to get the dungeon map from the Guidance Stone, allowing Link to change the angle of water coming from Vah Ruta's trunk.
 1. From the door to the map room, head toward the gears on the wall. Use Magnesis to turn the handle, raising the terminal, and then activate it.
 2. Turn around and head to the door on the right which leads outside. Follow the ramp up and enter the door on the right. Besides a Guardian Scout II, there is a water spout moving a smaller water wheel, and an unmoving larger water wheel. A terminal is inside the smaller wheel, and can be accessed by freezing the spout using Cryonis with proper timing.
 3. Using the map to drop water onto the large water wheel, ride it up and go past the Guardian Scout to activate the switch. This creates a waterfall to use as a shortcut. From the switch, paraglide to a walkway leading to the centre of the big wheel, and use Stasis to hold the Ancient Orb in the Shrine Pedestal as it rotates, such that the gate stays open and allows Link to access the terminal right-side-up.
 4. Swim up the waterfall, grab the chest if desired, then go through the corridor behind where the Guardian Scout was. The terminal is on the very tip of the trunk. While this area can only be reached when the trunk is lowered, it can only be activated with the trunk in a high position, so it must be raised once Link reaches the waterspout.
 5. In the centre of Ruta's back, there is a small hole. Jump through it, and once on the surface, destroy the eyeball before the mouth can spit out Cursed Bokoblins. Look down through the gap in the floor to see the terminal surrounded by flames. In front of Link is a wall with gears and a handle. Use Magnesis to turn the handle to open the top of Ruta's head, and use the map to move Ruta's trunk to send water through the openings and extinguish the flame, allowing the final terminal to be activated.
With all the terminals activated, Link can return to the lowest level and enter the door opposite the map room. This is where the main control unit lies, and Waterblight Ganon.
Waterblight Ganon
Main article: Waterblight Ganon
Phase I: Waterblight Ganon uses a spear to attack that has pretty good range which he will swing, thrust, throw or use a shockwave. He also warps around the area. Focus on attacking his eye with arrows to stun him. Bomb arrows will work better than regular arrows as it will inflict more damage. When you hit his eye enough he will be stunned and fall. You can also just shoot him anywhere with an ancient arrow inflicting the most damage and he will fall right away. Run up to him and attack with melee weapons, arrows, elemental arrows or ancient arrows. Perfect dodge or backflip his spear attacks for melee flurry attack as well.
Phase II: As Waterblight Ganon gets towards half health he will take a new approach. He will fill the room with water leaving 4 solid platforms to stand on. He will be hanging from the ceiling now and begin using ice block attacks which can be taken out with Cryonis. It will be difficult to attack him if you are not on solid ground. You can use Cryonis to stand in the water area. When his health gets down enough he will use a laser from his eye. If you get hit by this it will cause significant damage. Continue your attack method as previous. Waterblight Ganon will use any of his attacks with no specific pattern at this point.
Once you defeat Waterblight Ganon, you will receive a Heart Container. Activate the Main Control Unit to free Mipha's spirit and receive Mipha's Grace.
Illusory Realm
See also: Illusory Realm
After activating the main control unit, Link cannot reenter Vah Ruta. However, as part of the EX Champion Mipha's Song DLC quest, he can present three Ruta's Emblems and be drawn into an "Illusory Realm" of memories, where he can re-experience the fight with Waterblight Ganon with limited equipment.
Treasure Chests
 - From the map terminal room, there is a Treasure Chest in the water to the right. Use Magnesis to pull the chest out of the water and open for an Ancient Spring.
 - In the area with the second terminal, a ledge with a Silver Rupee chest can be reached by gliding from the top of the smaller water wheel.
 - In the same room, using the map to set the large waterwheel turning allows access to a malice-covered chest on the outside of the wheel. Kill the eyeball to allow the chest to be looted for the bundle of ten Fire Arrows inside.
 - Inside the large waterwheel, use stasis to hold a block toward the outside of the wheel, allowing access to a chest on the wheel's hub with an Ancient Core. It is advisable to avoid being crushed when the stasis expires.
 - Swim up the waterfall created from pressing the switch, and paraglide from the highest point over to the ledge ahead with the chest. Open it for a Hylia Series spear - depending on the current World Level, possibly a Knight's Halberd or Royal Halberd.
 - Outside, a chest is on the inside of the trunk, containing an Ancient Shaft. Manipulate the trunk until Link can open it.
 - From the tip of the trunk in the highest position, a chest is visible on the left side of Ruta's back covered in Malice, while the eye is on the opposite side. Once the eyeball is destroyed, the chest can be opened for a bundle of ten Ice Arrows.

I'm not sure where the name came from … but this game is simple, easy fun. It is called Crack Dice and the student ministry team at Granger Community Church introduced me to it and I had to share. Props to Greer Evans (the director at GSM LaPorte) for creating it. Here's how it works:
- Everyone gets a 3×5 card and sits around a table. There is one set of dice on the table.
- One person (selected however you would like – oldest, youngest, nearest birthday, etc) has a pen, begins writing #'s 1-100 as fast as clearly as they can!
- Everyone else takes turns rolling dice in a clockwise motion
- When someone rolls doubles, the next person around the table grabs the pen and starts writing down #1-100 on their card
- When someone rolls snake eyes (2 dice both with 1 facing upward) pass the paper to the left.
- The first one to write out all numbers 1 to 100 on their card wins!
Such a simple, fun game! Perfect for the countdown before service or a fun icebreaker. Winner!
