The width of the lagoon varies from one-half mile to 5 miles, with an average depth of 4 feet.
What is the salinity of the Indian River Lagoon?
IRL-SLE, located near the inlet, had the highest salinity, with strong tidal influences, ranging from oceanic salinity of 35, but much lower (sometime less than 15) at low tide.
Can you swim in the Indian River Lagoon?
Don't swim in the Indian River Lagoon around Coconut Point at Sebastian Inlet State Park. The health department considers levels above 70 enteric bacteria colonies in a 100-milliliter water sample to be unsafe. Similarly, what animals are in the Indian River Lagoon?
Are there sharks in the Indian River?
The Indian River Lagoon is a bull shark nursery, according to the University of Florida. Young bull sharks typically use the area until they are about 9 years old, and then move into an adult habitat offshore, George Burgess, Florida Program for Shark Research director, said in an article.
What's wrong with the Indian River?
Indian River Lagoon — Threats to the System
The most serious threats to the health of the IRL include reduced water quality due to manmade hydrologic changes, non-point source pollution, loss and fragmentation of habitats, overuse/overharvest of resources, and the threat of invasive exotic species.
Is it safe to swim in the Indian River in Florida 2020?
Bacteria warning: Don't go swimming in Indian River Lagoon at Jaycee Park in Fort Pierce. … Enteric bacteria inhabit the intestinal tract of humans and animals. Potential health risks for people who ingest or come in contact with the water include upset stomach, diarrhea, eye irritation and skin rashes.
Why is the Indian River Lagoon polluted?
There is an ecological crisis in Indian River Lagoon. Large quantities of water with high levels of nutrient pollution from Lake Okeechobee and the St. Lucie Basin are being discharged to tide, leading to toxic algae blooms in the Lagoon's waters. … This water had very low levels of phosphorus and nitrogen.
Is the Indian River dangerous?
The water is generally safe for swimming, officials assure. But, as always, that depends. Inlets to flush out a balmy, stagnant lagoon are few-and-far-between. Bacteria can spike after heavy rains, with no water tests to warn the public, as on the county's ocean beaches.
Can you eat fish from Indian River Lagoon?
Fish in the St. Lucie River and Indian River Lagoon in Martin County contain the blue-green algae toxin microcystin, but in levels low enough they're safe to eat — occasionally and in moderate amounts.
Are alligators in Indian River?
The gator seems to be unbothered by his aquatic companion. Vinson explained the waterway is part of the Indian River Lagoon. … The website adds that gators aren't often spotted in its waters but some do call its waterways home.
Has an alligator ever attacked a kayak?
Yes, it does happen! Alligators attacking kayaks is certainly not something we can say for sure has never occurred, no matter how much we wish it were so. … The former are much more aggressive and have been known to attack kayakers more frequently than gators. But crocodiles are pretty rare in North America.
Are there sharks in Mosquito Lagoon?
SHARKS ARE IN MOSQUITO LAGOON. It's not uncommon to see fishermen wading the deep dropoffs out from Tiger Shoals or around the Spoil Islands on the west side of Mosquito Lagoon. Using the size of our skiff as a gauge, we determined that the shark was a good 11-12 feet long.

Enterprise, Butte County, California
|Elevation||902 ft (275 m)|
Enterprise (formerly, Mountain Spring) is a former settlement in Butte County, California. It was located 5 miles (8.0 km) west-northwest of Forbestown on the South Fork of the Feather River, at an elevation of 902 feet (275 m). In 1968, it was inundated by Lake Oroville.
A post office operated at Enterprise from 1878 to 1926, with a brief closure in 1903. The town was founded in 1852 as Mountain Spring and used as a construction camp. Its later economy was based on being a supply center for the mining operations nearby, especially near Bidwell's Bar. The mining town of Yankee Flat was located 5 miles (8.0 km) southeast of Enterprise.

National Youth Day!
Youth of a nation is an integral and an important part of a nation. It is celebrated every year on 12th January. This day is celebrated to celebrate the power of youthful energy. This day is celebrated to mark the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda. This day is celebrated across many countries to mark the prosperity and propensity of the youth. Every nation wishes to give a proper direction to their youth, this is a day to enjoy the freedom as well as identify our duties towards our nation and society.
National Youth Day-How to Draw Swami Vivekananda Drawing for Kids
Swami Vivekananda's birthday is the inspiration behind the celebration of this day. So, let us begin with making a portrait of Swami Vivekananda. Tart with the headgear of Swami. Draw the right portion of the headgear and then come to the left part. Move on to the face portion and then, draw the outer figure and make the eyes, ears and nose of the Swami. Now go on to draw the clothes of the Swami. Raw Swami's signature pose: him standing with his folded arms. Shade the sketch wherever you feel necessary or you can colour the white picture and the background. You can write 'Happy National Youth Day' in the background. For better understanding of this subtle and easy to draw portrait look up:
Read more: Summer Art Ideas To Have Fun This Summer
National Youth Day-Youth Day Drawing Tribute
We can also show the youth voicing their concerns on this day. We can make posters or sketch some art related to youth uprisings or any other such movements. You can draw a group of students. You can take ideas from already existing uprisings or imagine some of your own. Like here we have drawn three teenagers with their fists high in solitude. We have not used any colours, just the black and white contrast. This contrast reflects so much towards the observers. You can draw players, or unconventional occupations taken up by the youth to feed their families or to support them financially. Every child grows into his or her youth believing to help his/her parents in running the household. You can take inspiration from this easy time-lapse tutorial video:
National Youth Day-Mental Health Matters Youth day Art Showcase
'Mental Health Matters' this can become one of the best themes for the youth day presentation. We can easily inculcate this topic in our drawings or posters. So many youngsters suffer from mental illness but stigma stops them from owing up. We must make sure every teenager opens up about their issues and problems. we can make this happen through awareness drives and posters. Posters showing their issues as a general widespread issue will make them feel comfortable and homely. Or we can make posters showing the suffering of the youth in dire conditions. Organizing such poster making competitions can also help, along with informative sessions. For better understanding and more ideas for such posters lookup this very much informative video:
National Youth Day-Raising your voice -International Youth day
This video is two years old but still relevant. It shows many quirky and relatable posters which can be realized easily by anyone. One just needs to try. First poster which comes up is of a girl sticking out her tongue with 'Happy Youth Day' written in the background. The vides shows the fun, frolic and exuberance shown by the youngsters. It also shows the support which each of them is to the other. The fun we all have at college or functions are shown in this vudeo.The video also tells us the vision Swami Vivekananda had for the youth. He wanted the youth to be obedient with good character and selfless. It also shows a poster with so many children standing in a line with a dog and speaking something collectively. It also shows us important quotes by Swami Vivekananda for the new generation. In the end the video gives a message to enjoy the young age and be responsible. For a look up to this video go to:

Definition of Kearns-Sayre syndrome
Kearns-Sayre syndrome: A neuromuscular disorder characterized by three primary findings:
Kearns-Sayre syndrome is one of the mitochondrial encephalomyopathies. These disorders are due to defects in the DNA of the mitochondria, the cell structures that produce energy. These defects cause the brain and muscles to function abnormally (encephalomyopathy). In about 80% of cases of Kearns-Sayre syndrome, tests reveal deletions in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).
There are many other names for the Kearns-Sayre syndrome including: CPEO with myopathy; CPEO with ragged-red fibers; KSS; Mitochondrial cytopathy, Kearns-Sayre type; Oculocraniosomatic syndrome; Ophthalmoplegia-plus syndrome; Ophthalmoplegia with myopathy; and Ophthalmoplegia with ragged-red fibers.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

Prospects for neutrino-flavor physics with in-ice radio detectors
July 26, 2021
March 18, 2022
The detection of the radio emission following a neutrino interaction in ice is a promising technique to obtain signiﬁcant sensitivities to neutrinos with energies above 10 PeV. The detectable radio emission stems from particle showers in the ice. So far, detector simulations have considered only the radio emission from the primary interaction of the neutrino. We present how the simulation code NuRadioMC was extended to cover secondary interactions from muons and taus. Muons and taus, created by an interaction of the corresponding neutrino, can create several additional detectable showers during their propagation through the ice, which adds up to 25% to the effective volume of neutrino detectors. It provides a signature for the neutrino flavor and improves event reconstruction if multiple of these showers are detected. We simulated the signatures of secondary interactions for the RNO-G detector in Greenland and the proposed radio detector of IceCube-Gen2. We also ﬁnd that the background of atmospheric muons from cosmic rays is non-negligible for in-ice arrays and that an air shower veto should be considered helpful for radio detectors.

Translation Quote per Word
In this highly competitive global environment, Trusted Translations understands your need to have projects stay within budget. Thus, we have implemented a quote process that is designed to provide you with the greatest amount of accuracy and precision regarding pricing prior to starting any translation project. One way we accomplish this precision is to quote using a price-per-word methodology. This, in our opinion, is the fairest pricing method and provides our clients with lower costs and more transparency.
Quotes per Source Word Count
Nearly all translation projects start with a set of source documents (i.e., the original documents) that need to be translated into another language (target). As only the source documents are available at the start of a project, we firmly believe the most transparent and fair way to price a document is using a source-based word count. Our sophisticated tools are equipped to determine exact word counts of source documents, providing you with the most accurate quote prior to starting a project.
Using a source word count will avoid the hassle and confusion of having only an estimated word count of final translation (target) and eliminate any unpleasant surprises at the time of invoicing. Furthermore, our experience has shown that clients save money when using our pricing methodology as the source documents tend to have fewer words than the final (target) translated documents. Clients can save between 20-30% under our pricing methodology.
Trusted Translations will provide you with a free quote at the budgeting phase to provide you with clear numbers prior to commencing a project and help you assess whether a certain translation project is right for you at this time.
Advantages of Quote per Source Word Count
The following are some advantages of using a Source Word Count pricing methodology:
- Since pricing is based on the source documents (which are available at the beginning of the project), it is firm and will not change based on the number of words of the translated text.
- You will save money. Given the natural text expansion of translated text, you will save up to 30% depending on the language pair.
- No surprises. As the source word count does not change, you will be sure to stay within budget.
Drawbacks of Quote per Target Word Count
The following are some of the drawbacks of using a target-based quoting methodology:
- Target-based quotes are only estimates as no translation company can accurately predict the word count of a translated document.
- You pay more. Target word counts tend to be 20% higher due to text expansion of translated materials.
- The actual price to be invoiced is not known until the end of the process. You will need to wait until all the work is complete to get a final price for your project. This can lead to unpleasant surprises at the time of invoicing.
Quotes per Target Word Count
There are some notable exceptions to the criteria of using the source word count when pricing a translation. There are some cases where the better choice is to set the prices according to the word count of the target language:
- Translation of an audio file without a word count;
- When the source material is not available in an editable electronic format (paper format);
- Translation from an Asian language;
- Proofreading services.
In these instances, we have found that pricing is more accurate when using the target language word count versus the source word count.
Text Contraction and Expansion for Different Language Pairs
Based on statistical industry-wide evidence and our own experience from translating millions of words annually, translating to and from certain languages will result in either text expansion or text contraction. This can have an impact on costs as well as the formatting of the translated document. Translated documents with text expansion may need to be modified to accommodate more text. In the case of legal documents or documents regulated by a government agency, desktop publishing or recreation services may be necessary to ensure that the final document complies with the legal text size and page number requirement.
The following are industry-wide benchmarks with respect to text expansion or contraction.
- English to Spanish: 20% expansion
- English to Portuguese (Brazil): 20 to 30% expansion
- Portuguese (Brazil) to English (U.S.): 10 to 15% contraction
- Spanish to English: 15% contraction
- English to French: 15 to 20% expansion
- English to German: 5 to 20% contraction
- English to Italian: 15% expansion
- English to Portuguese (Eur.): 20 to 30% expansion
- French to English: 10 to 15% contraction
- German to English: 5 to 40% expansion
- Italian to English: 15% contraction
- Portuguese (Eur.) to English: 10 to 15% contraction
- Spanish to English: 15% contraction
Translation Price per Word
At Trusted Translations, we provide our client with the most competitive pricing and the highest quality in the industry. We are proud of our ability to provide high-quality translations while saving your organization money on every project. To take advantage of our free quote tools, please send us the documents you plan to translate. If the project involves a large amount of words and is format sensitive, we will provide you with a free translation test to determine the impact that any potential contraction or expansion may have on the final output.

'Kingdom of Plants - A Journey through their Evolution' accompanies the stunning new Sky series filmed at Kew Gardens. Explore the wonders of the botanical world with this beautifully illustrated hardback book.
In the last 500 million years, plants have undertaken an epic journey that has not only spanned the ages but has altered the very make-up of the planet. It was a journey that began in a dark and barren world, and has culminated in a planet that is draped in rich colours, and overflowing with a diversity of mystifying orchids, exploding seed pods and snapping carnivorous plants. But plants are far more than just beautiful and bizarre.
Through the chapters of this book we uncover how plants first began to live on land, how they have become linked with a multitude of animal and fungi partners, and how ultimately they have shaped both landscapes and cultures.

Although the examples here are configured for specific data models and architecture, in principle, the flexibility of axpand system allows it to be configured for any data model or infrastructure.To make automation as effective as possible, automation components must be part of a recurring set of process steps which maintain the manual changes to map data and allow intervention at any step of the process chain.This can be done without waiting for the entire data set to be updated.
Illustration 2a shows data after the first import from the DLM data. An example of how an initial generalization takes place is as follows: A DLM road object is delivered from the primary data base to the automation component.
Objects that are manually changed are automatically stored as DCM objects and also maintain a relationship to the source object.
The system maintains a history of all the changes the object ungoes over time so that objects that have been manually edited are considered during recurring automatic updating.
In order to meet the need for ever-increasing recurring, efficient and short updating cycles, Axes Systems' cartography system have been integrated into several map production process scenarios.
Using case studies from the field, this article describes some of the ways that the axpand is currently being used for automatic map production.


to know about all the little components on the GUI side in order to capture their state. This kind of formulation does not lend itself well to composition or separation of concerns.
Along the same lines, one thing I'm confused about in the MVI style is the purpose of Intent. All mine did was act as a message translator, but I think it might make sense to capture some state in Intent. One use case might be to evaluate the sequence of users actions before translating them for the Model.
As an example, imagine a text-based adventure game in which the user can move around like this:
$ move west 50 yards
This can be represented in a single Model event very easily, but what if this were a GUI? Let's say the user clicks the Move button, then clicks West, then types in 50, chooses yards, then hits enter. While cumbersome, a GUI like this should be possible. Including some internal state in the Intent component would allow each input event to be collected into a single message to be sent to the Model. However, because there are no Model updates after each input event, there is no feedback that the user did anything! There's not a straightforward solution, which is why the MVI blog post claims this is still an open problem.
Animations are inherently stateful
Transitions and animations are part of the polish in a really nice UI experience, but they are inherently stateful. All of that state (position, orientation, size, alpha, etc.) needs to be captured in the Model, needlessly complicating it.
One away around this is to use virtual-dom hooks to change node properties on "nextTick". The change in properties will trigger a CSS transition, which will handle all the animation state behind the scenes. I haven't tried either of these approaches, so I can't comment on them extensively, but it definitely feels right to keep a bunch of pointless GUI state out of the Model.
Full VTree diff each update
If I understand the internals of virtual-dom correctly, the entire VTree is diffed and patched at each update. Typically, only a small part of the tree will change, but the whole tree is diffed all the same. There are some implemented shortcuts for reference equality of nodes, but in straight-forward functional style, the entire VTree will be rebuilt from scratch without any kind of caching, so reference equality will never hold. I wonder what the performance limit on this strategy is – how big can the VTree be and how fast can it be updated before this is a problem?
Virtual-dom uses Javascript conventions
Virtual-dom uses a number of JS style conventions that present some impedance when trying to use them from Purescript. The biggest is probably the use of arbitrary records that define id, attributes, style, etc. These are pretty verbose and annoying. In fact, most of the work done by the virtual-hyperscript DSL is simply building these records for the user in an easier way. However, in Purscript, each record is technically a different type, which doesn't always jive well with the type system.
Another JS convention is the use of undefined to remove properties from nodes. This only affected me in one case in which I needed to disable/enable the Hint button. To disable/enable, I use the following attributes.
{ attributes: { disable: "" } }
-- presence of disable attribute disables button, regardless of value
{ attributes: {} }
-- absence of disable attribute enables button
The problem is that the above two records have different types, so I cannot return one or the other from an if clause. Instead, what I did is use FFI to create def and undef variables, and assigned disabled with one or the other as appropriate. An alternative would be to return entirely different VTrees from the if/else clause instead of trying to select only their options.
Overall
Building Purescript Puzzler was a great learning experience, especially since I'm not the most experienced web dev. I sunk my teeth into a few cool libraries and got my first real taste of FRP outside of toy examples. However, I still feel like thar be dragons lurking in the shadows with this approach, and the apparent lack of complex examples is not reassuring. I think part of the problem with this is the absence of wrapper libraries that make common tasks easier, which inhibits exploration. Another open problem is handling of complex GUI state within the Model. I'm also concerned with integrating foreign GUI components ("widgets" in virtual-dom parlance) and persisting state across them.
The approach does, however, eliminate sync issues between the components, which naturally eliminates a large source of bugs.

Following the line of the article posted by A.Riazi, Solving engineering problem using MATLAB C API, I will show in this small example how to use M Functions inside our VC++ 6 project.
The project calculates the convolution of two vectors, and shows the resulting vector in the MsChart control. The function that performs the convolution is written in MatLab and then through the MatLab Add-in converted to C code ready to be used inside our app.
You need Visual Studio 6 and MatLab Release 12 installed with the MatLab C Library and Matlab Compiler.
Installing the MatLab Add-in
The add-in automates the integration of M-files into Visual C++ projects. The add-in for Visual Studio is automatically installed on your system when you run either mbuild -setup or mex -setup and select Microsoft Visual C/C++ version 6. In order to use the add-in you must follow these steps:
- Start MatLab, in the prompt type mbuild -setup
- Follow the menus and choose MS Visual C++6.0.
- Type the following commands in the matlab prompt :
These commands save the MatLab path to a file called mccpath in your user preferences directory (prefdir), ussually inside your documents and settings file. The path is used by the add-in because it runs outside Matlab and there is no other way for it to determine your Matlab path. If you add new directories to your Matlab path you will have to rerun this command if you want the add-in to see them.
- Configure the Matlab Add-in for Visual Studio 6 to work within MSVisual C++.
- Open MSVisualC++.
- Select Tools -> Customize from the MSVC menu.
- Click on the Add-ins and Macro Files tab.
- Check MATLAB for Visual Studio on the Add-ins and Macro Files list and click Close.
The floating MATLAB add-in for Visual Studio toolbar appears. The checkmark directs MSVC to automatically load the add-in when you start MSVC again.
Calculating the convolution in Matlab
We will write a simple function in MatLab that will perform the convolution of two vectors:
In2 and store the result in
We actually can use any matlab built-in function or toolbox function inside our function here we use only the function conv for simplicity.
%Returns the convolution of vector IN1 and IN2
Save the function with the name MyFunc.m
Writing the Application
Use the MFC AppWizard (exe) option to generate a Dialog Based Application and call it conv. Create a Button which will calculate the convolution of two given vectors.
Add the code below to the button's Message Handler.
Copy MyFunc.m into your VC++ project directory. Now go to the MatLab Add-in and click the.m++ (Add m-files to current project) button:
Select Windows Console Exe from the Combo Box and check Generate main file and debug mode. Press OK.
Then select the MyFunc.m file and click Open. After a while you will see new files added to your project.
Under MATLAB M-files you will see our MyFunc.m, you can even edit it from inside Visual C++. Under MATLAB C/C++ are MyFunc.c and MyFunc_main.c, generated by the MatLab Compiler. And all the headers needed by the compiler.
We can't build the app yet, we must add the following lines to convDlg.cpp:
Now the project should be built without any problem.
Points of Interest
The steps described here don't include the MSChart part, you can see it from the source code, but you can see that the calculation is done by placing a breakpoint inside the button message handler and checking the value of the
res vector after the line:
Well I hope this simple article be interesting for MatLab lovers, this is the first article I wrote, so I apologize if it is not clear enough. I will be glad to explain anything if you ask me. Greetings.

What is the difference between a cold drink cup and a hot drink cup?
With the acceleration of the rhythm of life, disposable paper cups are increasingly entering people's convenient life? For disposable paper cups, it can be divided into "cold cups" and "hot cups...
Maybe everyone will feel that disposable paper cups are nothing more than cold water and hot water. What is the difference?
According to the material, disposable paper cups can be divided into two types: paraffin cups and PE coated cups:
Paraffin is very stable at 0-5 degrees Celsius, but when it reaches 42-62 degrees Celsius, the paraffin will melt and release harmful substances such as polycyclic fen hydrocarbons, which are a possible carcinogenic chemical substance, so , the paraffin cup can only be used for cold drinks!
PE film is a kind of plastic film, which can prevent moisture, ultra-low temperature and high temperature of 100 degrees Celsius, so it can hold both hot and cold drinks!

Many communities in Oaxaca are known for an art or craft that is unique and specialized to that village. In Santiago MatatlÃ¡n, it is mezcal that they are known and celebrated for and have been for generations. The EspadÃn agave used by brothers-in-law ValentÃn CortEs and Gregorio MartÃnez grows at an elevation of 5,500-5,900 feet in a small mountain canyon rich with biodiversity. Among stunning vistas, the EspadÃn for this mezcal is cultivated alongside wild outcrops of Tepeztate, TobalÃ¡ and Coyote agaves.

Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? ACE Certification Exam Math Refresher
Many of you may have seen the television show, "Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader?" and since my daughter is currently in the 5th grade, I thought it would be the perfect title for my blog post about math.
I have worked for 12 years with individuals preparing for ACE exams and a common fear many of them have is around the math. I sometimes ask myself why individuals are so fearful of math questions.
I personally have taken all four ACE exams and don't recall them being anything more than addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. To help put any irrational fears to rest, I've put together some of the common formulas, as well as some helpful math tips, to prepare you for the big day.
Age Predicted Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)
220 - Age = MHR
MHR x % intensity = Target Heart Rate (THR)
Example: 34 years old at 75% intensity
220 - 34 = 186 x 0.75 = 139.5 bpm
Karvonen Formula - Heart Rate Reserve (HRR)
220 - Age = MHR
MHR - Resting Heart Rate = HRR
(HRR x % intensity) + RHR = THR
Example: 34 year old, resting heart rate = 62 bpm, at 75% intensity
220 - 34 = 186 - 62 = 124 x 0.75 = 93 + 62 = 155 bpm
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Weight (kg) ÷ Height2 (m)
Weight conversion: weight in lb ÷ 2.2 = weight in kg
Height conversion: (height in inches x 2.54) ÷ 100 = height in meters
Example: Height = 5' 8" Weight = 196 lbs.
(5' x 12) + 8 = 68" 196 / 2.2 = 89 kg
(68" x 2.54) ÷ 100 = 1.73 m
89 kg ÷ (1.73 m x 1.73 m) = 29.7
Desired Body Weight (DBW)
DBW = LBW ÷ (1 - DBF%)
Step 1: 100 % - Fat % = Lean body %
Step 2: Body weight x Lean body % = LBW
Step 3: 100% - Desired fat % = Desired lean %
Step 4: LBW ÷ Desired lean % = DBW
Example: 200 lbs. individual with 30 % body fat.
How much will he/she weigh at 25 % body fat?
- 100 % - 30 % = 70 %
- 200 lbs. x 0.70 = 140 lbs. LBW
- 100 % - 25 % = 75 %
- 140 lbs. ÷ 0.75 = 187 DBW
Caloric (kcal) Values per Gram (g)
Fat = 9 kcal/g Alcohol = 7 kcal/g
Carbohydrates = 4 kcal/g Protein = 4 kcal/g
Multiplying by a percent
When multiplying by a percent, remember to move the decimal point 2 places to the left in your final answer.
Dividing by a percent
When dividing by a percent, move the decimal point over 2 places to the right before you start long division.
For example: Your client currently weighs 150 lbs. and is 30% body fat. You know her lean body weight is 105 lbs. and her desired percent body fat is 20%. To find her new ideal body weight at 20 % body fat, you must divide 105 lbs. by her new ideal lean body weight percent, which equals 80% or 0.80 in decimal form.
Finding the percent of a whole
When dividing a bigger number into a smaller number, you must add a decimal point and at least 2 zeros at the end of the smaller number. Be sure to extend the decimal point to your answer — writing your answer to the right of the decimal point since it will ultimately be a percent of the whole.

100 years of Dan-yr-Ogof showcaves in Swansea celebrated
image captionTourists in the early days had to swim through cold water inside Dan-yr-Ogof caves
A cave system and popular tourist attraction in the Swansea Valley is celebrating 100 years since it was discovered by farmers.
The Morgan brothers tracked water which was coming onto their land back to a labyrinth of caves on 21 August, 1912.
Three of the caves were later opened up to the public as Dan-yr-Ogof, the National Showcaves Centre For Wales.
As well as attracting tourists, they were used to store art from Cardiff and Swansea in World War II.
Caves director James Price said the thousands of visitors who explore the caves at Pen-y-cae might be unaware of their history.
He said local farmers the Morgan brothers had set out to find the source of the River Llynfell which flowed through and poured out of a mountain on their land, which lies within the Brecon Beacons National Park.
Equipped with candles, a piece of rope and an old revolver - "because they didn't know what they were going to find" - they went into a cave in the mountainside.
"They never found the source of the river, unfortunately, from their point of view," Mr Price said.
"They followed the river in for 30 or so metres until the river took up the whole of the cave floor.
"And I think they were wet enough and they didn't really know where else to go.
"Just holding on their candles they just looked around and saw a little pathway going upwards so literally they scrambled up that and came out into the cave system that we now know is Dan-yr-Ogof."
image captionIn the early days, a coracle fishing boat was used to explore the caves
They discovered limestone caves which are filled with rock formations such as stalactites and stalagmites in an environment which is around 330 million years old.
But the brothers were prevented from penetrating far into the mountain because of a lake.
They later returned with coracle fishing boats and eventually crossed four lakes before being stopped by a small passage that was too small to crawl through.
Mr Price said the farmers' diaries show they actually started charging a very small entrance fee not long afterwards to take people into the caves.
Using candles to light the way, visitors in those early days were expected to wade, and swim through icy cold water, climb underground cliffs, and negotiate huge boulders covered in slimy mud.
The brothers later opened the caves properly to the public in 1939 - only for World War II to start three to four weeks afterwards.
"What happened was the government closed the caves down and actually had two armed guards stand at the cave entrance throughout the entire period of the war," said Mr Price.
He said ammunition was stored in the cave, along with art and documents from Cardiff and Swansea.
image captionSince their discovery in 1912, over 10 miles of caves have been discovered and three caves are now open to members of the public
Water from the caves was also piped to Swansea when the water mains were damaged by bombs during the blitz on the city.
More to discover
The caves did not reopen to the public until the 1960s because of problems with the country's economy.
But Mr Price said the attraction had been "going strong ever since".
One hundred years on, the caves are still run by descendants of the original cave explorers.
In 1963, a local girl called Eileen Davies, a member of the South Wales Caving Club, eventually managed to crawl through the passage that had stopped the Morgan brothers.
She and others found over 10 miles of caves and cavers believe that there are still more to discover.
"We're very fortunate. Dan-yr-Ogof is unique," added Mr Price.
"It's a fantastic underground environment and that's what the majority of people are coming to see - to appreciate the wonder of nature."

Field Guide to the Grasses of Oregon and Washington (Paperback)
Email or call for price
Field Guide to the Grasses of Oregon and Washington is an illustrated guide to all 376 species, subspecies, and varieties of grasses—both native and introduced—that grow wild in Oregon and Washington. It also has broad applicability in neighboring states and provinces. Grasses are important functional components in a variety of ecosystems and are highly valued for habitat restoration in numerous habitats, ranging from wetlands to deserts, and from sea level to alpine. They are important weeds and are also cultivated as ornamentals. This guide covers the entire spectrum of grasses from weedy invaders to rare native species.
Identifying grasses can be challenging. The grass family is one of the most diverse plant families in the region, and differences between species can be both subtle and minute. This guide provides identification keys, species descriptions, photographs of each species (both in the field and through a microscope), habitats, and range maps. Users will especially appreciate the macrophotographs that illustrate hard-to-see, diagnostic features.
Biologists, land managers, botanists, and consultants, as well as plant professionals, home gardeners, and amateur plant enthusiasts, will find this guide an indispensable reference for identifying all the grasses they encounter in the diverse habitats of Oregon and Washington.
About the Author

Vocabulary: at the park
In the summer, we like to hang out at the park, where the refreshing shade of trees keeps us cool on mild afternoons… and in Spain you'll see plenty of parks! Since we know that sooner or later you'll end up spending a lot of time at one of these places relaxing or studying, we've decided to give you a Spanish vocabulary list of things that you'll find there.
- Columpio: Swing, you know, a small seat attached to a pair of hanging chains on which kids swing back and forth, sometimes at dizzying speeds.
- Balancín: Seasaw or teeter totter, a metal plank held up in the middle upon which a kid seated on either end alternates moving up and down.
- Tobogán: Slide, a slippery graded surface over which children slide down at great speeds. This is something of a false friend of the English word "tobbogan", meaning a type of sled.
- Fuente: Fountain, this structure could be anything from a block of cement to a sculpture that sprays water. Before drinking from a water fountain, make sure the water is potable.
- Banco: Bench, a metal or wooden seat that may be more or less decorated where you can sit and rest or chat, etc.
- Estanque: Pond, this may or may not accompany a fountain. A well maintained pond may even contain fish.
- Césped: Lawn, an extension of grass which you may or may not lay down on to rest, depending on how strict the local authorities are.
- Quiosco (or kiosco): Kiosk, many old parks have quioscos in which musicians perform for park-goers. There's also another type of quiosco, which is like a newspaper stand where newspapers, magazines, and candy are sold.
We hope this vocab list helps you have a pleasant and relaxing afternoon at the park, a great place to forget about your worries and disconnect for a while!


grammar-combinators-0.2.3: A parsing library of context-free grammar combinators.
class (Show (ConcreteToken t), Eq (ConcreteToken t), Lift (ConcreteToken t), Eq t, Show t, Ord t, Lift t, Enumerable t) => Token t whereSource
The Token class identifies a type that can be used as terminal identifier in a grammar definition. The type t itself is an abstract identifier, identifying a certain type of terminals, but any value of type t can correspond to a possibly infinite numer of values of type 'ConcreteToken t'. For example, if you use a lexer in a simple arithmetic expressions grammar, your lexer would typically return values like PLUS, MINUS, but also 'INTEGER 42' when a number is lexed. In this case, a separate Token type t would be defined, such that a value INTEGER_T of the Token type t could correspond to all values of the form 'INTEGER n' (for n an Integer) of type 'ConcreteToken t'. A production rule defined as token INTEGER_T would then produce result values of type ConcreteToken t (e.g. INTEGER 42).
The requirements on Token types are relatively strict, but this is necessary to make it usable in table-based parser algorithms. We reference the Lift class to allow for compile-time precalculation of tables using Template Haskell (See the LL1 and RealLL1 parsers).
Note that in some cases it is inefficient to use Char directly as token type, because of the big amount of tokens. For example when using transformLeftCorner, the new domain will contain O(n*t + n^2) non-terminals where n is the amount of non-terminals and t is th number of tokens, so when using this transformation, it is beneficial to use a token type with less token values than Char, at least if you will use algorithms that fold over the full new grammar's domain (e.g. printGrammar does, printReachableGrammar doesn't).
Associated Types
type ConcreteToken t Source
classify :: ConcreteToken t -> tSource
The classify function classifies a given ConcreteToken t into the value of type t it is represented by.
enumConcreteTokens :: t -> [ConcreteToken t]Source
The enumConcreteTokens function returns a (possibly infinite) list of all concrete tokens of type 'ConcreteToken t' corresponding to a given token of Token type t

An infomercial is a form of television commercial, which generally includes a phone number or website. Most often used as a form of direct response television (DRTV), long-form infomercials are typically 28:30 or 58:30 minutes in length. Infomercials are also known as paid programming (or teleshopping in Europe). This phenomenon started in the United States, where infomercials were typically shown overnight (usually 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.), outside of peak prime time hours for commercial broadcasters. Some television stations chose to air infomercials as an alternative to the former practice of signing off. By 2009, most infomercial spending in the U.S. occurs during the early morning, daytime and evening hours. Stations in most countries around the world have instituted similar media structures. The infomercial industry is worth over $200 billion.
While the term "infomercial" was originally applied only to television advertising, it is now sometimes used to refer to any presentation (often on video) which presents a significant amount of information in an actual, or perceived, attempt to promote a point of view. When used this way, the term may be meant to carry an implication that the party making the communication is exaggerating truths or hiding important facts. Often, it is unclear whether the actual presentation fits this definition because the term is used in an attempt to discredit the presentation. Hence, political speeches or conventions may be derogatorily referred to as "infomercials" for a specific point of view.

What does Time-Span do?
i-lign's Time-Span feature allows you to plan your Tasks by effort, rather than percentage of time, and then deliver the prescribed effort within a set period, defined by start and end dates.
This means that you can choose, for example, to carry out five days of effort within a thirty day period.
We will assume that you are in a New/Edit Task/Activity screen. In these instructions, we will refer only to to Tasks, but the same applies in the New/Edit Activity screens.
- In the Scheduling Panel, go to the drop-down box beside Calculation Method, and choose Time-span.
- You will see that the field for Planned end date goes live. Enter a date by which the Task needs to be finished. For training purposes, choose a date several weeks away from the start date.
Using Time-span, you can edit both Planned Start and Planned End Dates for the Task. In contrast, Effort-based determines the end date based on the effort and Resources assigned, and Duration-based defines the end date based on the number of days assigned.
- As when you are designing an Effort-based Task, you can assign Action Items to people and click 'Use effort for Task'.
- The Percentage complete and days remaining fields are manually updated in tasks only. Percentage complete does not apply to activities.
Allocating across the Time-Span
You have four options for allocating the time over the time period:
- Distributed evenly across the entire time period.
- Distributed across the beginning of the period.
- Distributed across the middle of the period.
- Distributed across the end of the period.
- In the Allocation Rates, go to the drop-down list beside Allocation approach.
- Click between Even spread, Beginning, Middle, and End. Watch the difference that your choice makes to the Allocation graphs of Resources allocated to your Task.

Due to environmental concerns, health hazards to man and the evolution of resistance in insect pests, there have been constant efforts to discover newer insecticides both from natural sources and by chemical synthesis. Natural sources for novel molecules hold promise in view of their eco-friendly nature, selectivity and mammalian safety. We have isolated one natural bioactive molecule from the leaves of Lantana camara named Coumaran, based on various physical-chemical and spectroscopic techniques (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS). Coumaran is highly toxic and very low concentration is needed for control of stored product insects. This molecule has potent grain protectant potential and caused significant reduction in F1 progeny of all the three species in the treated grain and the progeny was completely suppressed at 30μg/l. The differences in germination between the control and treated grains were not significant. The lack of any adverse effect of Coumaran on the seed germination is highly desirable for a grain protectant, becoming a potential source of biofumigant for economical and environmentally friendly pest control strategies against stored grain pests during storage of grains or pulses.

and ClusterRole. The difference between Role and a ClusterRole is just the scope of the roles for which we can apply it. The Role can only be applied to a specific namespace while a ClusterRole is cross namespaces. That's why we don't see the namespace in the metadata field in the ClusterRole definition
 apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
 kind: Role
 namespace: default
 name: pod-auth
 resources: ["pods"]
 kind: ClusterRole
 apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
 name: secret-auth
 - apiGroups: [""]
 resources: ["secrets"]
Apart from the technical differences of Role and ClusterRole and how we use it with the concept of RoleBinding and also ClusterRoleBinding, the authors also give us an important principle for which we should manage the Authorization in Kubernetes
Make sure RBAC is enabled in all your clusters. Give cluster admin rights only to users who actually need the power to destroy everything in the cluster. If your app needs access to cluster resources, create a service account for it and bind it to a role with only the permissions it needs, in only the namespaces where it needs them.
Security, as we already know, is serious business. It is also usually neglected because it happens to difficult the usual process of software engineering. The software industry has a natural tendency to treat security, among other fields, as a second class citizen during the iterative process of software engineering. For this reason it is of uttermost importance to put in place process and tools to mitigate this misbehavior. And as we all know tools are usually better. The authors were sensible to this and spend some time in the chapter presenting some we can use to help ensure our cluster security. They presented the following
 - Clair - Tool that does statical analysis to containers, checking security vulnerabilities
 - Aqua - A security platform
 - Anchore Engine - The Anchore Engine is an open source project that provides a centralized service for inspection, analysis and certification of container images. The Anchore engine is provided as a Docker container image that can be run standalone, or within an orchestration platform such as Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, Rancher, Amazon ECS, and other container orchestration platforms.
And regarding security that was it.
Security is good but having a backup plan is also an intelligent approach. And backups is exactly what the authors tackle after. If you spend some time exploring kubernetes architecture you'll find that etcd is core piece.
Kubernetes Arquitecture
The main reason why etcd is so important is because it holds all the state of the cluster. So yeah, you lose this state and you loose the cluster, or at least you severely compromise it.
So you guessed it, we need to backup etcd state. As usual somebody else thought about this and, better yet, they created tool to help them with this. Fortunately they opensourced it. Its called Velero.
From their readme
 Take backups of your cluster and restore in case of loss.
 Migrate cluster resources to other clusters.
 Replicate your production cluster to development and testing clusters.
And that was all for chapter 11
Deploy that ship (chapter 12)
If you take time to see a typical setup of a kubernetes application you'll notice that one problem we have with the manifests is that they suffer from some problems
 - They are verbose
 - They tend to have lots of repeated blocks of properties
 - Not easy to reuse
To address these points, and some others, some tools were developed. One of such tools, as we already mentioned, is Helm and this chapter spend some time analyzing the overall structure of Helm Charts and how you can use the template engine to parametrize the charts as a way to reuse it.
Helm is not the only player in town. Other tools exist to do more or less the same.
 - Ksonnet - ksonnet is a configuration management tool for Kubernetes manifests. The goal of ksonnet is to improve developer experience by providing options beyond writing YAML or text templating.
 - Kapitan - Kapitan is a tool to manage complex deployments using jsonnet, kadet (alpha) and jinja2. Use Kapitan to manage your Kubernetes manifests, your documentation, your Terraform configuration or even simplify your scripts.
 - Ansible
Apart from the developing of manifests it is also important to have a way to validate them. For that we also have some tools
 - Kubeval kubeval is a tool for validating a Kubernetes YAML or JSON configuration file. It does so using schemas generated from the Kubernetes OpenAPI specification, and therefore can validate schemas for multiple versions of Kubernetes
And with this we end the chapter 12. This chapter is specially nice for guys that like to explore new tools and specially for those who manifest management is painful.
Daylife of the a sailor (chapter 13)
If on chapter 12 we were presented with a battery of tools to help us develop kubernetes manifests. In chapter 13 we face another critical aspect of kubernetes automation development process. How to implement a quick feedback loop when developing our manifests. The traditional way of doing things would be
 - Develope your application
 - Create your kubernetes manifests
 - Deploy your application via the built manifests
So in order to be able to quickly develop kubernetes manifests you need a way to test your manifests against a kubernetes cluster. But what if you don't have one because you're not physically connected to a cluster or simply don't want to test it on a real cluster?
What we need is tools that enable us local development as a way to debug and iterate quicker.
For this mission the following tools were presented
After a quick overview over these technologies we jump into another important topic. Deployment strategies. There is a vast literature on the topic, and with a quick google search you find articles like this one or this one that can introduce to the topic. This section of the book explore this in kubernetes context and explain how you can implement the following strategies
The rest of the chapter explains how you can use helm to manage migrations with the use of helm hooks.
The fishing loop (chapter 14)
If chapter 13 was all about the deployment strategies and more importantly how you can implement them in a kubernetes environment. Chapter 14 follow into the Continuous Deployment arena. The authors delve into the nuts and bolts of CD and they approach the main tools currently in existence for the kubernetes realm.
Above are the main contenders in existence, as the current state of art.
For the deployment to be possible there is yet a missing piece. The previous tools are only able to deploy binaries, in the case of kubernetes these binaries are linux containers. Linux containers need to exist somewhere else. The services responsible to hold the binaries are usually known as container registries. Apart from the process of deploying a container in the kubernetes cluster there is also the process of compiling it from source code and pushing it into the registry, this relates with Continuous Integration. To solve this problem several technologies were analysed.
 - DockerHub
 - A public docker container registry
 - GitKube
 - Gitkube is a tool for building and deploying Docker images on Kubernetes using git push.
 - FluxCD
 - A tool that manages the state of the cluster based on the current git and registry state.
 - Keel
 - Kubernetes Operator to automate Helm, DaemonSet, StatefulSet & Deployment updates
And this is pretty much the gist of the chapter.
Measure your position (chapter 15 and 16)
Chapters 15 and 16 are the last ones of the book. Sad right? These last two chapters deal with the operational part of the application. The book was written in an incremental way and also in a somewhat chronological view. We start looking into the dawn of computer systems and the similarities between currently cloud solutions and the good old days of time shared computing. Then we dig into the anatomy of a web application, the rise of microservices all the operational burden that rises from there. We were introduced to the devops movement and the advantages we can rip from this way of working and so on. Finally we got our application up and running live. So what? My work is done? I'm out? Well not so fast. After your application is up and running you need to ensure that it is doing what is supposed to. You see, all this journey had a very defined goal. An optimized way to build and manage software solutions at the highest quality. The problem is that quality is not an end state but actually a continuos process of monitoring and refinement. This last two chapters deal with the monitoring part of it.
And this lead us to the idea of Observability. This is not a new concept and you can find their roots in the field of control theory with the exact same name. Unsurprisingly the definition from control theory can be applied in the world of software development. Some articles defend exaclty this.
But, in this modern context, what do we mean, in practice, by observability?
There is not a unique view over the concept. So it is ok if you find several other differente definitions, but broadly I would say
In its most complete sense, observability is a property of a system that has been designed, built, tested, deployed, operated, monitored, maintained, and evolved in acknowledgment of the following facts:
 No complex system is ever fully healthy.
 Distributed systems are pathologically unpredictable.
 It's impossible to predict the myriad states of partial failure various parts of the system might end up in.
 Failure needs to be embraced at every phase, from system design to implementation, testing, deployment,

Validating the MYSTIC three-dimensional radiative transfer model with observations from the complex topography of Arizona's Meteor Crater

Kurzfassung
The MYSTIC three-dimensional Monte-Carlo radiative transfer model has been extended to simulate solar and thermal irradiances with a rigorous consideration of topography. Forward as well as backward Monte Carlo simulations are possible for arbitrarily oriented surfaces and we demonstrate that the backward Monte Carlo technique is superior to the forward method for applications involving topography, by greatly reducing the computational demands. MYSTIC is used to simulate the short- and longwave radiation fields during a clear day and night in and around ArizonaÃ¢ÂÂs Meteor Crater, a bowl-shaped, 165-m-deep basin with a diameter of 1200 m. The simulations are made over a 4 by 4 km2 domain using a 10-m horizontal resolution digital elevation model and meteorological input data collected during the METCRAX (Meteor Crater Experiment) field experiment in 2006. Irradiance (or radiative flux) measurements at multiple locations inside the crater are then used to evaluate the simulations. MYSTIC is shown to realistically model the complex interactions between topography and the radiative field, resolving the effects of terrain shading, terrain exposure, and longwave surface emissions. The effects of surface temperature variations and of temperature stratification within the crater atmosphere on the near-surface longwave irradiance are then evaluated with additional simulations.

10 Lies We Have to Stop Believing About Child-Free Women
It has been said that the child-free lifestyle is one of society's last-standing taboos.
As a member of the child-free community myself, I was surprised to learn that many people still disapprove of people making the decision to never have children. There are a lot of questions and assumptions about the community. Here are ten common lies about child-free people and why they're wrong.
1. They hate children.
It is true that some child-free people do not enjoy children and don't have a desire to interact with them, but to say that the entire community hates children is highly inaccurate. Many of us have children in our lives that we love a lot, and most of us care about the welfare and future of children in general. You probably won't find many child-free individuals who will help you change a diaper, but that doesn't mean that we don't want to be present in their lives in a different capacity.
2. They want everyone to stop having children.
The beauty of personal decisions is that we all get to make our own. Anyone who wants children and is able to take care of them should certainly be able to have them.
3. They won't have anyone to take care of them when they are old.
Many people think that children are a way to insure against growing old alone. Many people also find that, after spending much of their income raising children, there is little left for retirement, and frequently their adult children have little or no interest in keeping them company. Instead of spending money on diapers, toys and tuition, child-free individuals can invest heavily in retirement plans for decades, ensuring high-quality senior care for themselves.
4. They are selfish.
It's not selfish to be child-free. It's selfish to bring a child into the world that you may not be able to love or support. It's selfish to make such a massive decision without seriously considering if you're prepared to devote your entire being to that path. Having children is a MAJOR decision that you can never be undone, and it is a good thing that society is becoming more intentional about when or if they want to have children.
5. They would love their children if they had them.
This is a treacherous assumption to make. Many people have had children under this assumption and are forever filled with regret and resentment for themselves, their partner and even their child. If someone tells you that they do not want to be a parent, please believe them. There is nothing more unfortunate than a child born into a family where it is unwanted, unloved or uncared for.
6. They will regret not having children.
There are plenty of people who have had very happy and fulfilled lives without children, and they have no regrets. Alternately, there are plenty of people who have said after their children are raised and out of the house that although of course they love their children, if they had to do it over, they may have chosen a different path. Every journey is unique, and it's vital that we all consider our options instead of simply having children because that's the "normal" thing to do.
7. They are just young, and will change their minds.
No, they won't. Many CF people choose to take part in medical procedures such as vasectomies or hysterectomies to permanently prevent chance of pregnancy. It's not "maybe later." It's a no.
8. They have no true meaning in life.
Child-free people can devote their lives fully to anything that they choose, such as scientific discoveries, improving their communities, building and growing businesses, writing books, making art, become a real estate mogul, build empires, founding nonprofit organizations or changing lives. This article highlights a number of highly accomplished women who chose not to have children.
9. They are all "crazy cat ladies".
Because child-free people are lonely, right? Wrong. Child-free adults can have much more active social lives than parents do, as well as unique hobbies and interests. Many of them certainly do have pets, however, some CF individuals are opposed to taking care of life in general, which is why they don't want to be parents. Some people do not want to be caretakers at all, for children or animals.
10. They are only child-free because they physically can't reproduce.
Most child-free people are physically able to have children, they simply choose not to. Most child-free people are child-free by choice, but certainly not all. As time goes on, the community will probably grow larger as more people realize that it is acceptable to not have children for no reason other than that they simply do not want to, and also as reliable contraceptive and family planning services become available to more people.
Every child-free person is different. Although we exist as a community, you will find people on all sides of the spectrum regarding the aforementioned myths. One size does not fit all, so it's never safe to make assumptions about why a person decides to not have children. We all have different preferences, and different reasons why we decide to be child-free. One thing that the child-free community can agree on is that it would be a beautiful world when all everyone has the freedom and opportunity to choose their own path.

Cause of the Bursting of Peat-hogs.—The curious phenomena of the swelling and bursting of peat-bogs have been studied by Herr Klinge. They generally occur after heavy rains, and are preceded by detonations and earth vibrations. A muddy stream issues from them, of varying fluidity, rolling along lumps of peat. Then the mud hardens and the bog sinks back, forming a funnel-shaped pool. The bogs studied by the author have been mostly on high ground, not in valleys. He believes that the eruptions are not caused either by excessive absorption of moisture or by gas explosions—the theories most readily suggested—but by land-slips, collapses, etc., of ground under the bog, which permit water or liquid mud to enter. This breaks up the bog mechanically, mixes with it and fluidifies it, and produces the outburst at the surface. The limestone formations in Ireland, with their large caverns and masses of water, are naturally subject to these collapses, which, with the vibrations they induce, are more frequent in wet years. The heavy rains preceding the bog eruptions are thus to be regarded as only an indirect cause of them. Herr Klinge supposes that similar eruptions occurred in past geological periods, the Carboniferous, for example, in some cases where fossil tree-stems are found in upright position.


Question by Alisha79 (35)
What is the thesis of "All The Pretty Horses?"
It's a novel.
Answer by patti (29325)
Novels do not have theses. Novels have a plot structure, themes, setting, protagonist/antagonist and a host of characters, storylines and subplots. Academic papers have thesis. If you were, for example, writing a paper about the novel, you would propose a thesis for your paper that might, say, explore the ways in which McCarthy uses themes of nature throughout the story.
Answer by patti (29325)
The theme of this coming of age novel is courage and loyalty. Novels don't have theses; rather, they have themes.
You have 50 words left!

Yesterday we ran an new experiment, moving PB8 at constant speed on AZ, and EL constant. We collected the positions out of the AZ resolver and stored the difference between the current positions and its target (it should be a straight line).
On the next picture, we show, in blue, the errors of the AZ trajectory and in red the signal logged during the last moon tracking:
The two curves fit perfectly ! That means that the periodic fluctuations of the received signal (in red) are exactly correlated to the errors on AZ. Second point, the blue curve is periodic, we can estimate the period to 15°. And 15° is exactly one tooth of the pinion that drives the resolver !
We know the culprit know, but we still have no idea how to fix it…

Educators Curate Content Leveraging Scoop.It
Content curation is getting a lot of "press" in the field of education. While not my area of expertise, it is easy to see thoughtful, dedicated teachers looking for creative ways to provide education content for the students. Matt Tschoegl provides insight in how Educators can use Scoop.It to enhance the discovery and presentation of Internet content for their subject matter…
Scoop.it is a freemium service (more on that below) that allows you to create a web page to share
It does that by (1) combining clever curation tools that make it easy to gather content in one place with (2) a reasonably wide range of sharing functionalities to let people know about your page.what you find interesting with the world.
What Can You Do With It?
Here are are some practical ideas that people have already come up with on how to put Scoop.it to good use:
- Create a simple webpage for a single topic. If you are teaching about a specific topic (a holiday, country, person, etc.) in some depth, you can aggregate articles on the subject matter on one page. See here about a teacher who used it to make a Ground Hog's Day page.
- Publish a magazine for colleagues or like-minded types on what you think are interesting or pertinent topics. An example can be found here as well as links to other useful web applications.
- Organizing in one location materials that you might use across different classes. You can use a Scoop.it page to aggregate educational videos, online quizzes, spelling resources, and other similar stuff. These guys/gals can show you how to do it.
- If you are teaching about an active news item, you can use Scoop.it curation tools to create a page that is constantly updated with the latest items on the topic. Here is more about how to go about doing that.
- Or use it to create your own lightweight, low-maintenance blog with automated content addition. Take a look at this Scoop.it pagemaintained by this teacher.

How many valence electrons does scandium have?
Quick Answer
Scandium, element 21 on the periodic table, has 2 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons that occupy the highest energy orbital of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical reactions.
Continue Reading
Full Answer
Scandium's electron configuration is [Ar] 3d1 4s2. The 4s orbital is the one that houses its valence electrons. Since valence electrons are the primary electrons involved in chemical reactions, they are a key factor in determining an element's chemical properties. Elements in the same column, or group, of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons, so they frequently have similar chemical and physical properties; scandium is a group 3 element, and it shares many physical properties with other group 3 elements, such as lutetium and yttrium. For example, these elements have very similar melting points.

[F&O] IBM-FO-035: Problems with fn:number

Message-ID:
(IBM-FO-035): Section 14.1.4 (fn:number): The summary paragraph says that
if the context item is not a node, NaN is returned. The third paragraph
seems to contradict this by saying that if the context node is atomic, its
value is converted to xs:double. On closer reading the confusion only
increases: how can a node be atomic? Then the fourth paragraph says that
in the case of a node with an atomic type, its "value" is converted to
xs:double. Does this refer to the node's typed value or its string value?

approach towards waste management and plethora of private sector waste management expertise in the country.
1 The 'polluter pays' principle is an economic principle for allocating the costs of pollution control. It means that the polluter should be legally bound to bear the costs of pollution prevention and control measures to take to protect the environment.
2 The hybrid annuity model is a PPP model, where the government contributes a percentage (typically 40%) of the total capital expenditure for the project through annual payments, with the rest (typically 60%) contributed by the private sector developer.
3 Viability gap funding is a capital grant, subsidy or equity from the government to render a PPP project financially viable and bankable.
