Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Indigenous Visual Culture Research Centre
Over a two year period the Postdoctoral Fellow will collect data on the topic of Indigenous views of Europeans from primary and secondary sources. They will approach visual primary source material using standard historical and art historical methods of document analysis, stylistic and formal analysis, as well as literary and ethnographic analysis. Primary sources will include, but will not be limited to, historical Indigenous visual and material culture in Canadian and international collections such as paintings, illustrations, carvings, voice and visual recordings, and contemporary Canadian and international Indigenous visual art, material culture and performance. Due to the diverse character of these materials, research will be approached from different and interdisciplinary perspectives. Indigenous research methodologies will privilege a wider range of sensorial experiences over just the visual.
This research, and where appropriate, records of the primary source materials used in the research, will be deposited with the Indigenous Visual Culture Research Centre (INVC/RC), and managed through an online commons. This commons, a research resource, is now being developed by a web designer, and will be managed by Dr. McMaster, the postdoctoral researcher, and a web designer. The commons will serve the Centre's primary audiences, including the international scholarly and professional community in the field, and in Canada, Indigenous originating communities, the education sector and the general public. The team will work together to ensure that the content uploaded onto the website is accessible and socially and culturally responsible to its various audiences. By generating content for the online commons, and for scholarly and public-oriented print and online publications, this research will make an original and sustained contribution to its audiences, all of whom will benefit from increased understanding of the roles of Indigenous people in shaping Canadian culture and society.
OCAD University's promotion of interdisciplinary research methodologies and conceptual orientations renders it the most appropriate intellectual environment to support postdoctoral research.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will play a leadership role in the INVC/RC, reporting directly to Dr. Gerald McMaster (Professor and Director of the INVC/RC). Bringing a skill-based knowledge, the Postdoctoral Fellow will also have theoretical/conceptual understanding and/or lived experienced of Indigenous epistemologies in visual culture.
Summary of Responsibilities:
- Lead the development of "Indigenous views of the other" project

About the Indigenous Visual Culture Research centre (INVC/RC):
The Indigenous Visual Culture Research Centre's (INVC/RC) primary objective is to map – on a local, national and international scale – the cultural translations that occur when Indigenous and historical settler cultures come into contact. To that end, the plan has been to focus on the ways in which such interactions reflect, stimulate, and produce original artistic expressions among Indigenous peoples in colonial and post-colonial contexts, and the influence of those expressions on mainstream society. Working primarily in the context of visual culture as an interdisciplinary practice that assumes broad contextual understanding of objects, the INVC/RC will be principally concerned with the visual art-related historical and contemporary consequences of contact and interaction between Indigenous/non-Indigenous as well as Indigenous/Indigenous artists.
INVC/RC research and development activities focus on four main areas:
- Research: on gaze theory and contact zones; building of research and knowledge-exchange links with Indigenous communities, scholars, and national/international collecting institutions
- Collaboration: Development of an international network of Indigenous visual culture scholars, art historians, anthropologists, and artists to collaborate and generate innovative ideas related to history, theory and practice; creation of a website that will provide a hub for the research centre's work in the digital humanities and that will be dedicated to raising public awareness about the issues being explored
- Exhibition development: Production of major exhibitions, publications, and symposia that encourages scholarly, curatorial and public debate
Hours of Work: Full-time; Grant funded, Monday to Friday for a total of 35 hours per week. The expected duration of this contract is 24 months, beginning October, 2018 or when post is filled.
Application Deadline: The position will remain open until filled (review of applications will commence on receipt.)
Applicants should provide a one page covering letter indicating their research interests and highlighting their strengths, an academic C.V. and three references.

Odes to obesity
"Odes to obesity: Images of overweight men and women in commercial sound recordings—A discography" by William L. Schurk and B. Lee Cooper (Popular music and society XXXIV/2 [2011] pp. 237–246) explores more than 200 commercial sound recordings that address obesity themes in lyrics and song titles.
The introductory text examines gluttonous dietary patterns and food addictions among endomorphs. It also traces socially inflicted and self-ascribed references to individuals of hefty stature. Finally, it probes assertions of personal affection and social rejection based upon excessive body weight.
The discography features recordings that address fat themes that were released over the past eight decades as either singles (45 or 78 rpm records) or as songs compiled in albums (33⅓ rpm records) or on compact discs. A brief bibliography of articles and books that address either physical or lyrical obesity concludes the study.
Below, Queen analyzes the concept of Fat bottomed girls.

Seismic-Acoustic Active Range Monitoring for Characterizing Low-Order Ordnance Detonation
ENGINEERING RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER HANOVER NH COLD REGIONS RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING LAB
Pagination or Media Count:
A seismic-acoustic field data acquisition experiment was conducted in March 2005 to support the ERDC Environmental Quality program, Distributed Source focus area. The Distributed Sources focus area strives to characterize the level of contamination in range environments attributed to ordnance residue for the purpose of range management and environmental remediation. This remote sensing research project emphasizes seismic magnitude measurements and subsequent inference of partial detonations and unexploded ordnance. The analysis of these data will help establish seismic-acoustic measurement criteria for remotely sensed seismic data to enable near-real time estimates of the seismic source characteristics of ordnance explosions, including level of detonation and location. We collected seismic and acoustic array data from Yuma Proving Ground from 7 to 18 March 2005. Three sensor nodes were set up over approximately 16-km2 areas that encompassed partial or full impact regions. We employed both seismic and acoustic arrays with accompanying meteorological stations. The dual mode of acoustic and seismic monitoring is seen to have great benefit in discerning acoustic arrival from the seismically propagated energies. Acoustic arrivals that are attributed to ordnance detonation or muzzle blast are observed on both the seismic sensors and microphones with an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio. The experimental data acquisition of March 2005 provided a catalogue of waveforms that help to define the seismic and acoustic phase energy observed at several kilometers for sensor offset and a source scale of artillery ordnance magnitude.

We are developing a Java web application using Spring, Hibernate and MySQL.
I want our application to automatically backup the MySQL database daily; is there any way to accomplish that with Java code?

u may use one facility of mysql that can be rollback the data of your database – Dhaiwat budh Sep 9 '12 at 17:44
2 Answers 2
This is easy to do.
 1. Write a script to create the backup using the "mysqldump" tool available at _URL_ - Google "mysql backup unix/windows script" to find some examples.
 2. Use a task scheduler to run this script. On UNIX this could be "cron", Windows as a "task scheduler". Best to do so at times when the app is under low-usage.
It is worth while putting some backup file cycling into the script so that you keep, say, every backup from the last week and delete the rest.
Also remember to backup to a physically different disk from the database itself so you have a backup if the disk dies.

You can user Quartz-scheduler to schedule the backup, take a look here on how to schedule an automatic Hibernate backup.

Check whether two strings are isomorphic to each other in Python
In this article, we will learn how to check whether the given two strings are isomorphic to each other in Python. Two strings are isomorphic if there is one-to-one mapping possible for every character in string 1 to every character in string2.
Input: string1 = "aaabb"
 string2 = "xxxyy"
Output: True
Explanation: character a to character x and character b maps to character y.
Input: string1 = "aaabb"
 string2 = "zxcvb"
Output: False
Check whether two strings are isomorphic in Python
1. Firstly, check if the length of two strings is equal if not return False.
2. Create a list mark of size 256 to store mark the visited characters in string2, initialize its value to Fasleand a list map to store the mapping of every character from string1 to string 2, initialize its value to -1.
3. Now iterate the string1 from range 0 to length of string
 - Check if the current character of string1 appears for the first time in it.
 - If the current character of the string2 already appeared, then return False.
 - Else, mark the current character of string2 visited and store the mapping of the current character in the map list.
 - Now check if the current character in string1 has already appeared, then check if the previous appearance mapped to the same character of the string, if not return False.
def stringIsomorphic(string1, string2):
 m = len(string1)
 n = len(string2)
 if m!= n:
 return False
 mark = [False] * MAX_CHARS
 map = [-1] * MAX_CHARS
 for i in range(n):
 if map[ord(string1[i])] == -1:
 if mark[ord(string2[i])] == True:
 return False
 mark[ord(string2[i])] = True
 map[ord(string1[i])] = string2[i]
 elif map[ord(string1[i])]!= string2[i]:
 return False
 return True
string1 = input("Enter the string 1: ")
string2 = input("Enter the string 2: ")
print(stringIsomorphic(string1, string2))
Enter the string 1: ccddaa
Enter the string 2: xxyyzz
Enter the string 1: abba
Enter the string 2: asdd

Retroductal Nanoparticle Injection to the Murine Submandibular Gland
This article has been accepted and is currently in production
Abstract
Two common goals of salivary gland therapeutics are prevention and cure of tissue dysfunction following either autoimmune or radiation injury. By locally delivering bioactive compounds to the salivary glands, greater tissue concentrations can be safely achieved versus systemic administration. Furthermore, off target tissue effects from extra-glandular accumulation of material can be dramatically reduced. In this regard, retroductal injection is a widely used method for investigating both salivary gland biology and pathophysiology. Retroductal administration of growth factors, primary cells, adenoviral vectors, and small molecule drugs has been shown to support gland function in the setting of injury. We have previously shown the efficacy of a retroductally injected nanoparticle-siRNA strategy to maintain gland function following irradiation. Here, a highly effective and reproducible method to administer nanomaterials to the murine submandibular gland through Wharton's duct is detailed (Figure 1). We describe accessing the oral cavity and outline the steps necessary to cannulate Wharton's duct, with further observations serving as quality checks throughout the procedure.

Burp Decoder is a simple tool for transforming encoded data into its canonical form, or for transforming raw data into various encoded and hashed forms. It is capable of intelligently recognizing several encoding formats using heuristic techniques.
You can load data into Decoder in two ways:
You can use the "Text" and "Hex" buttons to toggle the type of editor to use on your data.
Different transformations can be applied to different parts of the data. The following decode and encode operations are available:
Additionally, various common hash functions are available, dependent upon the capabilities of your Java platform.
When a part of the data has a transformation applied, the following things happen:
The new editor enables you to work recursively, applying multiple layers of transformations to the same data, to unpack or apply complex encoding schemes. Further, can you edit the transformed data in any of the editor panels, not only the top panel. So, for example, you can take a complex data structure, perform URL and HTML decoding on it, edit the decoded data, and then reapply the HTML and URL encoding (in reverse order), to generate modified but validly formatted data to use in an attack.
To perform manual decoding and encoding, use the drop-down lists to select the required transformation. The chosen transformation will be applied to the selected data, or to the whole data if nothing is selected.
On any panel within Decoder, you can click the "Smart Decode" button. Burp will then attempt to intelligently decode the contents of that panel by looking for data that appears to be encoded in recognizable formats such as URL-encoding or HTML-encoding. This action is performed recursively, continuing until no further recognizable data formats are detected. This option can be a useful first step when you have identified some opaque data, and want to take a quick look to see if it can be easily decoded into a more recognizable form. The decoding that is applied to each part of the data is indicated using the usual colorization.
Because Burp Decoder makes a "best guess" attempt to recognize some common encoding formats, it will sometimes make mistakes. When this occurs, you can easily see all of the stages involved in the decoding, and the transformation that was applied at each position. You can then manually fix any incorrect transformations using the manual controls, and continue the decoding manually or smartly from this point.
Get help and join the community discussions at the Burp Suite Support Center.
This release updates the Scanner to enable it to find blind XML external entity (XXE) injection vulnerabilities.
Some performance improvements have been made to the Burp Collaborator server, and the metrics page now splits interaction counters into TCP and UDP interactions.
A number of minor bugs have also been fixed.

Using scp to copy a folder on a custom port
while true;
do
date;
scp -rp -P 2222 $SOURCE_DIRECTORY [email protected]$REMOTE_SERVER:$DESTINATION_DIRECTORY;
sleep 60;
done;
The above code was used to copy the contents of a local folder to a remote one every one minute. We did not want to lose the metadata of the files (including the modification date of the files) so we used the -p parameter to preserve that information.
The -P 2222 parameter instructs scp to use a different port rather the default.
The -r is used to instruct the copy to get all contents of the folder and its sub-folders.
The above code as a one-liner is:
while true; do date; scp -rp -P 2222 $SOURCE_DIRECTORY [email protected]$REMOTE_SERVER:$DESTINATION_DIRECTORY; sleep 60; done;
Download Large Jupyter Workspace files
Recently, we were working on a Jupyter Workspace at _URL_. As there was no option to download all files of the workspace nor there was a way to create an archive from the GUI, we followed the procedure below (that we also use on Coursera.org and works like a charm):
First, we clicked on the blue button with the + sign in it.
That opened the Launcher tab that is visible on the image above.
From there, we clicked on the Terminal button under the Other category.
In the terminal, we executed the following command to create a compressed archive of all the files we needed to download:
tar -czf Ray-RLLib-Tutorials.tar.gz ray_tutorial/ Ray-Tutorial/ rllib_tutorials/;
After the command completed its execution, we could see our archive on the left list of files. By right-clicking it we we are able to initiate its download. Unfortunately, after the first 20MB the download would always crash! To fix this issue, we split the archive to multiple archives of 10MB each, then downloaded them individually and finally merged them back together on our PC. The command to split the compressed archive to multiple smaller archives of fixed size was the following:
tar -czf - ray_tutorial/ Ray-Tutorial/ rllib_tutorials/ | split --bytes=10MB - Ray-RLLib-Tutorials.tar.gz.;
After downloading those files one by one by right-clicking on them and then selecting the Download option we recreated the original structure on our PC using the following command:
cat Ray-RLLib-Tutorials.tar.gz.* | tar xzvf -;
To clean up both the remote Server and our Local PC, we issued the following command:
rm Ray-RLLib-Tutorials.tar.gz.*;
This is a guide on how to download a very big Jupyter workspace by splitting it to multiple smaller files using the console.

Task 3: Detailed mass and energy balance and mechanical design
Each individual should verify the plant general mass and energy balance for their section of the process. This will require a consideration of kinetic and thermodynamic properties of the process stream and any chemical transformations occurring. Operational parameters and limits should be formalised. The plant general mass balance may need to be updated to reflect any changes required. A detailed mechanical design should be made for at least one major item of plant equipment and any ancillary equipment related to this item should be specified. This should include the specification of pumps, line sizes, valves and instrumentation etc. An outline of the intended control system should be included along with start-up and shut-down methodology for the equipment. The plant PFD should be updated to reflect any changes and a formal Engineering Line Diagram (ELD) should be produced (Visio is available).

Military - Overview
The Museum's superb military collections document the history of the men and women of the armed forces of the United States. The collections include ordnance, firearms, and swords; uniforms and insignia; national and military flags and banners; and many other objects.
The strength of the collections lies in their enormous depth. Some 3,000 military small arms and 2,400 civilian firearms document the mechanical and technological history of the infantryman's weapons from the beginning of the gunpowder era to the present. Among the 4,000 swords and knives in the collection are many spectacular presentation pieces. The collections also include Civil War era telegraph equipment, home front artifacts from both world wars, early computers such as ENIAC, Whirlwind, and Sage, and materials carried at antiwar demonstrations.

identify a set of stuff interactions, so for example, matter represents an set of distinct interactions of stuff, not an inherent property of it.
What we measure and hence how we construct physics is dependent upon the scale of the sensor relative to the void and boundary ratio in the measurement cross section. We can imagine increasing the size of a region of the Mesh and each time we calculate the total region of void and boundary. What we can find is that for small regions (or sensors) in our location in the mesh the proportion of boundary dominates, whereas for much larger sensors the proportion of voids dominates.
Intuitively we can argue that an interaction between a small sensor and target will reduce the potentially measurable states due to the boundaries. Whereas the measurement using a relatively larger sensor and target will have a larger and more continuous state space from which measurements may result. Therefore small scale sensors and target may lead to measured jumps in value (quantisation) whereas large scale sensors and targets give rise to greater continuity in measured values (classical).
Measurable Relativistic Effects
A perturbation at a point in the stuff will propagate through the stuff. It can be seen that the rate of propagation of an ML pattern will be reduced by the boundaries, whereas the rate of propagation of LL patterns will always be greater and potentially constant. This may explain a constant and maximal speed of light.
Through simple dynamic analysis of ML stuff components within a void and its encompassing boundaries it has been shown that:
- The Mesh has localised deformation dependent upon the ratio of ML stuff in the voids and boundaries as well as the influence of neighbouring stuff. This effect changes the measured geometry of space.
- It is possible to generate a flow of stuff through the mesh such that the measurable mass in the voids changes and in fact increases with increased velocity. Therefore the rate of transfer of measurable objects and the scale of measurable space can be seen to vary.
- The change of ML stuff across voids and boundaries can cause the scale of boundaries to increase at the expense of the scale of voids. This can lead to measurable spatial contraction and it can be argued that measurable physical processes including that of time can slow down in accordance with general relativity theory.
- A different region of the Mesh (inertial frame of reference) will have a different Mesh deformation and that observation between frames will lead to observed relativistic effects.
I have considered that the Mesh may turn out to be the, 'Ether' that has hounded the theories of relativity and quantum physics.
TES can explain the origins of our construction of quantum mechanics and observable quantum effects.
I created many simulations of varying sized cellular automata interacting within a simulated Mesh. The measurement process involved accumulating all of the states bounded by the sensor for each row and letting this represent the measured value. The relative size of sensor, target and boundary were varied. A sample result is shown below.
The conclusions of such simulations are given below:
- There is a range of sensor size relative to boundary size in which we see quantised measurements (a non-contiguous set of values). In the above example, these are sensor size 66% to 133% of boundary (for all levels of sensor quantum variation). Sensor size 66% to 200% of boundary for large quantum variation in sensor.
- Outside of this range we get a contiguous set of measurements (classical physics).
- As quantum variation of the sensor increases the quantisation effect upon measurements and this can increase the range of scales at which quantum measurements are generated.
- These experiments support the idea that whether we see a quantised or classical world is dependent upon the relative scales of the target and sensor with that of the Mesh boundaries and the level of quantum variation in sensor position.
- Therefore TES may explain why we see quantum and classical effects and why the transition between these characteristics is, 'fuzzy'.
We can define the, 'quantum scale' as the scale at which the total region of boundary is greater than that of void as this leads to the fragmentation of potentially measurable states (measurable quantisation).
At some scale of sensor the quantum variation in the sensor itself is dominant and all we detect is a codification of the highly complex (possible chaotic) dynamics of the measurement system. We cannot associate any physical laws at these scales and all of our theories collapse. This is the, 'Plank Scale'.
Every measurement is a complex process and as such the exact state that is 'measured' cannot be known as there are so many varying aspects of the system (variation in boundary and measurement interaction cross section). Therefore TES explains why an individual measurement is a 'random' selection from the instantaneous state space of the system.
The simple reasoning for this quantisation effect is that at any instant in a measurement event the sensor may either, span a void and boundary, span only a void or span only a boundary. The resulting contribution to the accumulation process (final measured value) may then be fully or partially representative of the interaction or give no contribution at all.
There is a practical limit to the scale at which we can create coherent sensors.
A sensor structure is sensitive to influence from specific types of stuff. The more, 'tuned' a sensor is, the fewer perturbations influence the measured value (noise).
From the perspective of quantum physics a, 'particle' may be measurable anywhere within the bounds of its evolving stuff pattern, whether at a specific point in time and space it is measured depends upon the nature of the pattern and that of the MCS. This may lead to a probabilistic likelihood of detecting the particle.
It could be said that the potentially measurable particle exists at many locations simultaneously. The actual measurement is then an interaction that conforms to a probability distribution dependent upon the nature of the MCS (measurement cross-section).
TES justifies why the idea of wave function collapse had to be introduced into the mathematical foundations of quantum theory. The mathematical formulation of the quantum mechanics of measurement deals with instantaneous single measurements (interactions). The wave function collapse represents the completion of a measurement interaction and that the mathematical formulation needs to be reset (as does the Sensor) to represent a future measurement interaction with different initial conditions. The wave function collapse has no meaning in the objective reality of the stuff.
The evolution of the target pattern and the effect of back action can be modelled through a perturbative Schrodinger equation.
QM may also tell us something (but not much) about the taxonomy of stuff patterns that give rise to our constructs and the relationship between some of the stuff properties. However QM can tell us very little about the true nature of the stuff and therefore nothing about the objective reality of Stuff.
We can say that there is a minimum measurable uncertainty in space that is equal to a single unitary void. The actual scale of a void depends upon the dynamics of the void boundary interface as described earlier and so it would seem that the actual minimum depends upon the dynamics (measured mass and velocity) of stuff through the void. One could see that there may be an uncertainty relationship of the following form:
Change in measured momentum x change in measured position >= single unitary void
This may be the origin of the Uncertainty Principle. It may be that Plank's constant is telling us something about the smallest scales of unitary voids.
Early attempts to describe the sensor and target patterns as a set of infinitesimal instantaneous states, combined with the linear accumulation process show that TES may enable a derivation of a, 'quantum algebra' similar, if not identical, to the current algebraic and matrix formulations.
From the perspective of TES, quantum mechanics is a theory of measurement, or interaction between specific stuff (target and sensor) and the Mesh. It is not a theory that tells us anything intrinsic about the stuff (objective stuff reality). If our universe could have evolved purely within a cosmologically scaled void then our measurements would show NO QUANTUM BEHAVIOUR and there would be NO QUANTUM THEORY.
By comparing results of measurement sets between differing sensors and targets we can infer physical characteristics to sets of interactions and transfer functions (physical laws) between them.
TES can explain the conservation and duality of mass and energy. From the stuff perspective an unmeasured interaction within a pattern of stuff is a potential measurement of, for example, mass and this is what we may term 'potential energy field'. When we make a measurement then we measure a mass but in some manner our measurement interaction is a human realisation of part of the entire (potential) interaction space within the stuff. Therefore it seems reasonable that we may consider that 'some energy' has been converted to matter as both concepts represent the entirety of the unmeasured interaction.
Some experiments that I have been running to understand the complexity of pattern interactions also suggest that we can view a, 'gravitational energy field' as the low density outer region of patterns of ML stuff in which we interact with high density regions to perceive matter. In essence gravitational energy is just part of the 'matter pattern' within the stuff and this approach can be extended to other physical properties such as charge and electromagnetic fields. This approach reflects (and explains) the basis of quantum field theory.
Energy is our way of assessing the potential for matter (of any physical characteristic) to exist. If we measure it then it is mass and if we don't then the pattern of stuff still exists but we term it energy (gravitational potential energy). Both of these constructs are different aspects of a single interaction and therefore it is not surprising that for a region of our space their combination represents the entirety of the interaction and in essence matter and energy are conserved.
TES suggests that we exist in a specific region of the Mesh where the boundary and void scales are relatively constant and this may be a requirement for generating dynamics that can lead to complex conscious patterns such as ourselves. This would suggest that what we perceive as cosm

Keeping the turkey moist during cooking
Because turkey breast meat is so lean, you need to protect it from drying out during cooking. There are different ways of doing this. The simplest are using steam, using covers or basting. More effort is required for brining.
For a brine recipe, please follow this link.
Many cooks swear by brining as a way of ensuring that the turkey remains moist during roasting but this is not an essential step. Brining the turkey simply means that it is soaked in a salty (brine) solution with added flavourings and seasonings prior to cooking. It is usual to brine overnight or for a minimum of six hours. To be absolutely safe, brining should take place in the refrigerator. Raw meat of any kind should not be stored at room temperature. The difficulty here, is that a turkey in a container of brine takes up a lot of space and many people don't have enough spare refrigeration space to do this.
The following steps provide an alternative safe method for brining without a refrigerator:
- Refrigerate the prepared brine solution until thoroughly chilled
- Sterilise a plastic chilly bin (insulated cooler bin/"Esky") by rinsing with boiling water and wiping dry with paper towels. Allow it to cool down. Use a cooler size that will allow the turkey enough room to be surrounded by liquid but is not overly large.
- Pour the chilled brine into the cooler.
- Using clean hands, place the thawed turkey breast-side down into the brine.
- Fill two or three sealable plastic bags with crushed or cubed ice and pack these around the turkey (as many as you can fit). Don't use loose ice cubes as these will dilute the strength and flavour of the brine.
- Put on the lid and place the cooler bin in a cool place.
- Half way through the brining, turn the turkey over and check the ice, replenishing the ice if needed.
- After removing the turkey from the brine, rinse it inside and out with cold water, drain and pat dry with paper towels before continuing with cooking preparations.
- Discard the brine and sterilise the cooler bin.
This is the method that the Croziers use most often. Simply pour water into the bottom of the roasting pan and keep it topped up during the cooking. As the turkey cooks, the water will create a steamy atmosphere that keeps the flesh moist. Additional suggestions include:
Place a rack / cake rack /trivet in the roasting pan so that the turkey is held above the liquid and is less likely to "stew" on the base.
Use flavoured liquids instead of water e.g turkey or chicken stock mixed with wine or fruit juice and herbs.
Using a cover
Start the roasting process by placing a sheet of baking (silicon) paper over the breast and then sealing it with a layer of foil. If baking paper isn't used, the foil tends to stick to the turkey skin and pulls pieces off when removed. After calculating the cooking time, leave the foil in place for half of the cooking time, removing it in order to allow the skin to colour before cooking has finished.
Basting is the technique of spooning fat and cooking juices over the breast of the bird at regular intervals during the entire roasting process. It is a good idea to baste every 20-30 minutes. Basting can be done with a basting brush, a spoon or a turkey baster. A turkey baster is a simple tool that sucks up cooking juices and when squeezed can release them onto the turkey breast. The disadvantage of basting is that the oven has to be opened regularly, which lowers the oven temperature and interrupts the cooking process so make sure you work quickly.
Stuffing-To stuff or not to stuff?
Turkeys that are stuffed take longer to cook than turkeys that aren't. This is because the stuffing forms a dense mass in the centre of the bird and heat takes much longer to penetrate to the centre.
If you are cooking the turkey with stuffing inside the cavity, make sure that the stuffing has been prepared and chilled beforehand. Turkeys can be stuffed in two places: the main cavity and the neck-end cavity. Some cooks like to use a different stuffing for each part; others use the same. During cooking, most types of stuffing expand a little so don't overstuff and do leave a little space. Place the stuffing in lightly and compactly but not too forcefully. The stuffing needs to be sealed in so either use small skewers or a large needle threaded with cotton-string (not plastic stringit melts) and sew the flaps of skin together. The alternative is to cook the stuffing in a separate baking dish and serve as a side accompaniment.
How far ahead can the turkey be stuffed?
Don't be too eager. It's best to stuff the turkey just before you want to start cooking. You could stuff an hour or two ahead as long as you then store the turkey in the refrigerator until cooking begins.
DON'T STUFF THE DAY BEFORE. To an extent, the stuffing is insulated from the cold temperatures of the refrigerator by the turkey cavity. If there are any harmful bacteria present inside the turkey or in the stuffing, they can multiply during storage.
Knowing when it's cooked
Estimating cooking times
We recommend a total cooking time of 15 minutes per 500g plus an extra 15 minutes when cooking at 180°C. A 5 kg turkey takes approximately 2¾ hours. A 5 ½ kg turkey takes approximately 3 hours.
A whole turkey and turkey parts are safe when cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 80 °C (176 °F) as measured with a food thermometer. Check the internal temperature in the innermost part of the thigh and the thickest part of the breast or if the turkey is stuffed, check the temperature in the centre of the stuffing. Remember that if you have inserted the thermometer into the turkey and the temperature is not safe, you must sterilize the thermometer probe before re-using it. Otherwise, you risk contaminating the cooked meat
PopUp Timer
If your Crozier turkey has a pop-up timer inserted in the breast, it will pop up when it reaches the temperature of 85 °C (185 °F).
If you pierce the thickest part of the turkey thigh with a skewer, juices will run out. If the juices run clear the turkey is cooked. If there is still some pinkness (blood) present, longer cooking is required.
In addition to the skewer test, give the drumstick a wiggle The leg should move freely when cooked, with little resistance.
Why is turkey meat (and chicken) sometimes pink close to the bone, even when it is fully cooked to 80 °C degrees or higher?
Younger turkeys (and chickens) have underdeveloped porous bones, which may allow red pigmentation (haemoglobin) to run into the meat. If the bird is fully cooked (80 °C and the thigh juices run clear) the meat is safe to eat even if there is some pink colouring in the flesh surrounding the bones.
After removing your delicious cooked turkey from the oven, lift it from the roasting pan to a carving platter or board and lightly cover it with foil. Allow it to rest for about 10 minutes while you prepare the gravy. Resting allows time for the flesh to relax and for juices to be reabsorbed into the meat before carving.
There are a number of methods used to carve turkey. Here is one:
- Keeping the turkey on its back (breast-side up), cut the skin between the thigh and the body.
- Remove the entire leg (thigh and drum) on both sides.
- Place the legs flat on a chopping board and cut between the thighs and the drums to separate them.
- Pull each wing outward from the body and cut through the joints where they join the body.
- Cut the wings in half at their joints.
- Insert the knife on one side of the breast bone as close to the bone as possible. Cut along the side of the breast bone. Using the knife, follow the rib cage and cut down under the breast meat, lifting it away from the rib cage.
- Repeat for the second side. (An alternative is to carve the breast in slices directly from the turkey)
- Cut the breast meat into slices or portions.
- If you have stuffed the turkey, remove the stuffing with a spoon into a serving bowl.
Even though you'll be enjoying your turkey dinner, don't forget that unserved turkey meat will make great leftovers. But only if you treat your leftovers with respect. Don't leave them sitting out in the kitchen all night. Make sure you package and chill them within two hours or removing from the oven.
Place leftover turkey into a dish and cover with plastic wrap before refrigerating. Store for a maximum of two three days at 4 °C.
Place leftovers into a freezer bag or wrap in plastic wrap. Squeeze out as much air as possible before freezing. Mark with the date. Use within one month
Wines to serve with roast turkey
- Light bodied aromatic e.g Pinot gris (dry rather than sweet style)
- Medium bodied fruity e.g Pinot noir
- Medium bodied deep full flavour e.g Merlot


tourism en Roaming Kyrgyzstan: Beyond the Tourist Track By Jessica JacobsoniUniverse As American foreign travel is concerned, we are more likely to head to Cancun for spring break, or across the border in Canada for some duty-free shopping—not to Kyrgyzstan. The 2008 guidebook Roaming Kyrgyzstan: Beyond the Tourist Track by Jessica Jacobson (an American scholar who lived, worked, and traveled in Kyrgyzstan for two and a half years) sheds light on a place that many would consider far beyond the beaten path. The guidebook contains all of the information you would expect from a guidebook: where to eat, what to eat, where to sleep, prices, where to get a cab ride, and how much it should cost. Expect some anecdotes about Kyrgyz culture, but don't consider it a substitute for an official history. In my opinion, the key to a good guidebook is good organization, and this book could use more organizational clarity. The Table of Contents is broken down into into regions and "areas," but I could not determine the difference between a region and an area, if regions were parts of areas (there are only two areas compared to nine regions), and what this distinction means for travelers. After the contents, introduction, map, and a brief history, the book opens with "Travel Essentials," or everything you need to know about visas, air travel, train travel, what to bring, communications, publications, and more. "Words You May Hear" (under "Travel Essentials") seems useful at first, but actually contains only three words. A glossary of terms would be a welcome addition. Details about the cities and towns highlighted under the regions seem especially useful; they are broken down into dining and lodging options (ranging from upscale to should probably avoid), phone numbers, people to talk to, attractions, and websites where available. Some of the entries, such as local restaurants, are "starred" with two asterisks, meaning they are especially recommended by the author. But if you don't catch that brief note in the introduction, you'll be scratching your head the entire book as I was about what those asterisks are supposed to indicate. There aren't many photos in the book, and where there are images it would have been nice if they had captions. With so much information spanning geographic areas in a single page spread, it isn't clear which image corresponds to what place. Should the book be reprinted, I would also suggest including a key and an image list. Based on this book and Jacobson's travels—do I want to visit Kyrgystan? Absolutely. The strongest impression I received is that Kyrgyzstan is "a nature-lover's dream," to quote Jacobson. Although the tourism industry is still in the process of being developed (with positive results), the country can be described as being well-suited and hospitable to backpacking, hiking, skiing (on virtually deserted slopes!), nature photography, horseback riding, camping, visiting or living in yurts, and numerous mineral and hot springs/spas and sanatoriums. Everywhere there seems to be a guest house (or yurt) with someone willing to show a foreigner around, and Jacobson never mentions encountering problems being an American woman on her own in Kyrgyzstan. The activities Jacobson participates in aren't the typical tourist activities; they include long (and difficult) hikes and local festivals. Yet for those who want a shopping mall, she tells you where to find one. Roaming Kyrgyzstan is well-suited to assist the adventurous DIY traveler. Jacobson promises that if you don't mind going over some bumpy roads in a noisy dust-filled car, the dynamic vistas of Kyrgyzstan will be breathtaking and like none other on the planet.

For many years, I had a dream; I wanted very badly to visit mysterious India. Last month my wish unexpectedly came true. Forbidden Sun Dance, my most recent documentary, was selected to compete in the Tri-Continental Human Rights Film Festival in India. This was a great opportunity to discover the land of my dreams. While on tour with the festival, I was invited to watch Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire in a fancy movie theatre in the dazzling and enormous city of Mumbai by a lovely Bollywood moviemaking couple. I had never seen such a theatre anywhere in North America! For double the ticket price, you get a seat in which you can actually lie down! Superbly comfortable, they were a bit like those huge massage chairs that I had seen in shopping malls in Canada. I felt very strange sitting in that chair, munching on popcorn and watching not a fantasy-filled Bollywood movie, but a somewhat more realistic portrayal of life in India... Bollywood – My Childhood Love As a little girl growing up in Iran, and like millions of others living in Eastern countries, I loved Bollywood movies. They were all colour and glamour and rosy pictures of India, that heaven on earth; the country of love and flowers. In my childish imagination, Bollywood's India was the best place on the planet to live and be in love. For hours, my cousins and I would sit watching Bollywood movies and later try to imitate those gorgeous Indian actresses. We would draw moles between our eyebrows and put on lots of makeup stolen from our mothers. We would wrap Granny's colourful hijab around our bodies and pretend it was a sari while dancing along with the actresses and lip syncing all the songs that we knew by heart without understanding more than few words! We all wanted to steal the heart of the main actor, Amitabh Bachchan. He was the most gorgeous man ever: tall, handsome, and an amazing dancer, he was our superbly passionate romantic hero who would do anything for

35 Easy Words Related To Family In Irish
Original blog post: _URL_
On the hunt for the terms related to the family in Irish language? In today's post, we will walk you through our most comprehensive list of Irish Gaelic terms so that you can use them no matter what social circumstance you are in. Also, having mastery on this will give you confidence, especially if you ever find yourself invited to join intimate gatherings (like birthdays and events) in the household. Of course, you cannot really avoid the invited relatives of your friend/colleague, right? Well, hop aboard, and let's get learning!
Looking for another place to see this year? Then you better have Ireland listed as your destination since this place has captivating natural wonders and historical places to die for! Aside from its places, the country is also known for its professional races, literature, football and rugby team, and food! To make your travel much smoother, one of the things you should consider preparing for is the Irish language. Let's start with the basics of family in Irish, shall we? 🙂
How To Say Family In Irish Language
Unlike the English language, the word "family" can be a bit complicated for Irish learners as there are different ways by which one can translate this word. For instance, you can use the word "clann" (not similar to Clan in English) if you mean that you refer to all the children living in the household. You can also use that same Gaelic word to refer to all of your siblings.
On the other hand, you can use the word "teaghlach to refer to the family living in the household. This is perhaps the most commonly used translation when you are talking about a particular family unit. Allow us to give you an example of how these major terms work:
 1. teaghlach mór aici! (She has a big family!)
 2. clann grámhar acu! (They have a loving family!)
You can also say "muintirto say that you are talking about someone's parents or people related by blood. This word can also be used in combination with surnames, as in "Muintir Torres" which means "the extended family of Torres."
What is even more interesting is that you can also use the "mo chúram" which directly translates to "my family" in English. If you've got a friend who will use the word "líon tí" you can assume that the people he/she is referring to are the people living in the same house but are not really blood-related.
Other Native Family Terms You Can Use
 1. Cleamhnaithe = all the family relationships by virtue of marriage.
 2. Cairde gaoil = a word that can be used for very close family friends, and relations. (The type of people like family to you but not really related by blood).
 3. Daoine muinteartha = can be used as an extended meaning for family members.
 4. Gaolta gairide = got a really close family member? You can simply use this word.
Amazing how many available words the Irish language has to mean for families, don't you think? At this part, let's now move on to the exact words you can use when pointing out a particular member of the family.
Irish Gaelic Terms For The Members Of The Family
Whether you are traveling or moving to Ireland for professional reasons, you can never go wrong with trying to memorize this set of vocabulary words. Why? Well, the Irish people have a tight family bond which is why it is truly possible to meet someone who lives near a compound where their extended families live too! How cool is that?
As for the family structure, more traditional families consist of wives, husbands, and children. But given the development today, the Irish culture also provides support and fully embraces alternative forms, including single-parent, LGBTQI+, single-person families. Now that we already understand this, let's now move on to the exact translations for every home member.
Now that we already know how to connect these Irish terms to their translation, we hope that you were able to get all the information you'd ever need to speak confidently when the time comes. Suppose you enjoyed this post and would love to practice the essential phrases. In that case, we highly recommend that you search no more and read our previous posts like introducing yourself, saying the greetings, and the terms related to transportation.

How do I keep bumble bees away from my crock neck squash? Also I do I know when my carrots are ready to pick?
Know that bees can be a gardeners/farmer's friend because they help with pollination. But if those bumble bees become a problem, there are a few things you can do. These include
- The more flowers you have, the more bees will be attracted to your yard. This includes flowering trees and bushes. By having only non-flowering plants in your yard you can greatly reduce the interest of bees to it. To keep the bees far away from your squash, plant flowers far away from the squash.
- Use a safe insecticide designed to stop the insects or kill them. Be sure to follow the insecticide guidelines, and use one recommended for fruit or vegetables and human consumption.
When harvesting carrots: Carrots can be "pulled" when the roots are at least 1/2 inch in diameter. Under usual conditions, carrot tops may not be strong enough to withstand actually being pulled from the ground and digging helps to remove the roots without damage. Finger carrots are usually ready to harvest within 50 to 60 days. Other varieties should be allowed to grow until they have reached a diameter of at least 3/4 inch (about 60 to 70 days after planting).

Complete glass frame dropping glue to meet various needs
writer：点胶设备 time：2019-03-13 14:19 clicks：
Non-uniformity of glue coating is a bad phenomenon in the process of dispensing. It is manifested in the lack of glue or excessive glue on the surface of the product. The problem of poor glue coating needs to be solved and avoided by electronic buzzer dispensing. Controlling the non-uniformity of glue coating at 502 points is related to the disposition of the coating pressure drum and the durability of the replacement ring inside the valve. Check and find out the reasons. Setting about the solution is the guiding direction. This time, we will deeply analyze the causes and solutions of the uneven coating.
Glue Coating Line for Reflector Box
Glue coating effect caused by fittings
Various sizes of paint control valves and paint pressure barrels can be assembled when dispensing with dispensing equipment. Pressure barrels are mainly used to store large volumes of rubber and convey glue through pneumatic drive. They can store and transport medium and high viscosity fluids to provide dispensing. The problem of non-uniform dispensing may be related to the internal conveying pressure. Middle and low viscosity fluids use top dispensing to produce high viscosity glue. Water through the bottom of the gum, the need for high pressure delivery, when the pressure of the paint barrel is insufficient to drive the glue is poor, so the part used for gum coating often appears the problem of lack of gum or less gum sometimes more gum, which directly affects the application effect of commonly used glue products such as 502 gum, and most of the impact on the dispensing of buzzer is therefore uneven, of course, as well as Check and replace the built-in parts of rubber valves such as sealing rings.
The sealing ring in the rubber valve is used to prevent the leakage of glue in the rubber valve. Some glue will leak out during the 502-point glue conveying process. The function of the sealing ring is to prevent the leakage of glue. The unstable glue conveying causes the problems of uneven glue coating and lack of glue. It is often checked that replacing the sealing ring can prevent the leakage of glue and lead to the uneven glue coating of the product.
Single-station automatic dispensing machine
Demand for dispensing buzzer
Because the structure of electronic buzzer is generally small and delicate, it is necessary to control the amount of 502-point glue coating within a certain range and use high-precision filling technology to ensure that the yield of good products reaches the standard. Through the inspection procedures and the performance of fittings to replace the sealing ring and other stability, to ensure that the batch production of buzzer dispensing meets the requirements and prevent the impact of uneven glue coating.

Cold storage rooms are entering the 21st Century and recently, important developments in refrigeration technology have ensured that new foods such as fruits, vegetables, meats and marine products can be kept fresh for longer amounts of time. To get more details about cool rooms you may check here _URL_
What Should A Modern Cold Storage Room Be Like?
Contributing to this move towards more effective cold storage are additional technologies such as control panels which can help monitor fluctuations in the room and supply remote access to settings that are crucial.
Convenient controllable operation
Depending upon the item that has to be stored, it is absolutely crucial for modern cold storage rooms to have the ability to keep the perfect environment and temperature. From the standpoint of the working personnel, an area should also be easy to control and function. Thus, companies should ideally choose to construct a room which has a contemporary control panel and monitoring facilities.
Save Energy
A modern cold storage space equipped with sensors can determine when the goods inside a space are at the optimum temperature. Automatically relaying this information to the panel when doors are closed and opened, allows the temperature inside to be kept at acceptable levels, saving electricity.
Temperature Control
Among the most important variables which may be maintained through an efficient cold storage space is temperature. Since food items may lose their quality or be spoiled if temperatures rise or fall too radically, it's necessary to ensure sensors respond accurately to temperature conditions.
Real-Time Tracking
Newer technologies have been contributing to ever more complex refrigeration innovations being implemented, and a few enable real-time monitoring of temperature and other cues vital to efficient performance.

A Microscopic Study of Paper Decayed by Trichoderma harzianum and Paecilomyces variotii
- 189 Downloads
The current study is interested in evaluating the decay of cotton, Whatman and chemical pulp caused by Trichoderma harzianum and Paecilomyces variotii. The structural changes of the paper were evaluated by Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The SEM results show differences in hyphae colonization and paper decay patterns between studied species under the current study; P. variotii caused an eroded structure in the cotton (cavity forming), whereas the initial T. harzianum colonization produced rupture and erosion (soft-rot decay type II) for the three types of paper ,the gaps were elongated with sharp pointed ends, which consisted either of individual cavities or in chains. Moreover, FTIR results confirmed that there a relationship could be observed between fungal decay and crystalline cellulose content because the intensity of peaks at 1335 and 1111 cm−1 significantly decreased due to the fungal decay. Furthermore, the intensity of O–H stretching absorption slightly decreased, and this may be attributed to hydrolysis of cellulose molecules.

Automating Strings Extraction From Storyboards for Localization
Update April 24, 2014: I just learned that Apple does in fact provide a coomand line tool named AppleGlot that supports incremental localization of .strings files, NIBs, and storyboards. AppleGlot just got updated to version 4.0 (v159.1) on April 15, 2014, and the release notes list support for Xcode 5 file formats. I haven't tried it myself but if you are looking for a tool to help you with incremental localization, I suggest you check it out. Registered Apple developers can download AppleGlot from the downloads section in Apple's dev center.
With OS X 10.8 and iOS 6.0 Apple introduced the concept of a base internationalization to Xcode. While the old way of localizing a Cocoa app involved maintaining multiple copies of your NIB or storyboard files (one for each language), an app using base internationalization has just one set of storyboards or NIBs, localized to the app's default language.
Base Localization
The localized content for your user interfaces is maintained in .strings files (one per language and NIB or storyboard file). At runtime, the NIB loading system automatically replaces the user-facing strings in the NIB with the appropriate localized variant from the corresponding strings file.
Base internationalization is the perfect companion to Cocoa autolayout, another recent addition to AppKit and UIKit. In the past, it was often necessary to maintain multiple copies of a NIB not just for translation, but because localizations required different UI layouts due to vast discrepancies in text lengths between languages. With autolayout, a single base layout can respond much better to varying text lengths.
Setting Up Base Localization In Xcode
To set up base localization in Xcode, go to your project settings and on the Info pane, select "Use Base Internationalization" checkbox. Xcode will display a popup, asking you which of the languages your app already supports should serve as the basis for the new base localization. When you approve the selection, Xcode treats the storyboards or NIBs for the language you selected as the Base localization. The files are moved into the new Base.lproj directory.
Selecting the source language to use for creating the base localization in Xcode
Setting up base internationalization in Xcode.
If you already have translated NIBs or storyboards in other languages, Xcode does not convert them to using the base localization automatically. The idea behind this is that you are free to use a mixed approach: use base internationalization for most languages you support, but make a full copy of your storyboard for one specific language (for example, because its layout requirements are beyond what can be done with autolayout).
In most cases, you will want to convert your existing translated NIBs to the new model. To do that, open the file in Xcode and open the File Inspector. In the Localization section, you can choose between "Interface Builder" (the old way) and "Localizable Strings" (base internationalization) for each language. Selecting "Localizable Strings" will extract the current user-facing strings from the NIB file and place them into a strings file, then delete the now-unnecessary NIB or storyboard file from disk.
Confirmation alert in Xcode when converting a storyboard file to base localization
Converting an already translated storyboard file to base internationalization.
Should you later add a new localization to your project, Xcode offers you the same choice between "Localizable Strings" and "Interface Builder", this time extracting the strings to be localized from the base NIB file or storyboard.
Update March 22, 2013: If you are using NIB files, you may find that your app no longer works after enabling the base localization. Instead, error messages that indicate that the app could not load one or more NIB files appear in the console:
[PreferencesWindowController loadWindow]: failed to load window nib file 'Preferences'.
This is due to a bug in Xcode that causes Xcode to not compile localized .xib into .nib files during the build process. At runtime, the NIB loader looks for NIB files and ignores the XIB files in the app bundle. The simple fix: select the XIB file(s) in Xcode, change the file type to something else, and then change it back to the Default type. After doing this, clean and rebuild.
As documented by the Stack Overflow thread, the bug was present in April 2011 (Xcode 4.0), and I confirmed it is still there in Xcode 4.6.1.
Automating Strings Extraction
Unfortunately, the automatic conversion from Interface Builder to strings file is a one-time process. Xcode does not automatically update the strings files whenever you make changes to your base NIB files or storyboards. And manual updating is not only tedious but made especially hard because of the obscure keys Xcode uses to identify an object. For example, the label for a button may appear under the key "hzx-cM-fkt.normalTitle" in the strings file. While the button's object ID hzx-cM-fkt can be found in Interface Builder's Identity Inspector, dealing with those IDs manually is not much fun.
Fortunately, there is a better way. MacRumors forum user mikezang has written a handy script that uses Apple's ibtool to extract all translatable strings from the base storyboard and then merges the new translatable strings with your existing translations in the per-language strings files. It's almost1 perfect.
mikezang's original script relies on the premise that, for each storyboard file in the Base.lproj folder, a corresponding .strings file exists in the same folder. The script compares the modification dates of these files to determine if the storyboard has been modified. Normally, you would have to create this base file manually. I updated the script slightly to automatically create the base .strings file if it doesn't exist. Here is my modified version:
#!/bin/sh
#
# update_storyboard_strings.sh - automatically extract translatable strings from storyboards and update strings files
# Based on _URL_ by mikezang
storyboardExt=".storyboard"
stringsExt=".strings"
newStringsExt=".strings.new"
oldStringsExt=".strings.old"
localeDirExt=".lproj"
oldIFS=$IFS
IFS=$'\n'
# Find storyboard file full path inside project folder
for storyboardPath in 'find . -name "*$storyboardExt" -print'
do
 # Get Base strings file full path
 baseStringsPath=$(echo "$storyboardPath" | sed "s/$storyboardExt/$stringsExt/")
 # Create base strings file if it doesn't exist
 if ! [ -f $baseStringsPath ]; then
 touch -r $storyboardPath $baseStringsPath
 # Make base strings file older than the storyboard file
 touch -A -01 $baseStringsPath
 fi
 # Create strings file only when storyboard file newer
 if find $storyboardPath -prune -newer $baseStringsPath -print | grep -q .; then
 # Get storyboard file name and folder
 storyboardFile=$(basename "$storyboardPath")
 storyboardDir=$(dirname "$storyboardPath")
 # Get New Base strings file full path and strings file name
 newBaseStringsPath=$(echo "$storyboardPath" | sed "s/$storyboardExt/$newStringsExt/")
 stringsFile=$(basename "$baseStringsPath")
 ibtool --export-strings-file $newBaseStringsPath $storyboardPath
 # ibtool sometimes fails for unknown reasons with "Interface Builder could not open
 # the document XXX because it does not exist."
 # (maybe because Xcode is writing to the file at the same time?)
 # In that case, abort the script.
 if [[ $? -ne 0 ]] ; then
 echo "Exiting due to ibtool error. Please run 'killall -9 ibtoold' and try again."
 exit 1
 fi
 # Only run iconv if $newBaseStringsPath exists to avoid overwriting existing
 if [ -f $newBaseStringsPath ]; then
 iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 $newBaseStringsPath > $baseStringsPath
 rm $newBaseStringsPath
 fi
 # Get all locale strings folder
 for localeStringsDir in 'find $storyboardPath -name "*$localeDirExt" -print'
 do
 # Skip Base strings folder
 if [ $localeStringsDir != $storyboardDir ]; then
 localeStringsPath=$localeStringsDir/$stringsFile
 # Just copy base strings file on first time
 if [ ! -e $localeStringsPath ]; then
 cp $baseStringsPath $localeStringsPath
 else
 oldLocaleStringsPath=$(echo "$localeStringsPath" |

Maputo, Mozambique — 19 September 2013 – The Australian mining company Metals of Africa has announced the discovery of what it calls "a significant new base metals geochemical anomaly" at its Mazoe River project in the west Mozambican province of Tete.
allAfrica.com reports that, according to the announcement, the anomaly, identified from soil sampling, is 2.5km long by 750m wide, and it "hosts elevated zinc, lead and copper, plus manganese and phosphorus, among other elements".
Exploration, the company says, "is ongoing with extensive soil sampling and geological mapping to define drill targets, and a 1500m diamond drill programme to test priority targets is scheduled to commence next month".
The latest discovery is at the Rulio prospect in the Mazoe River project. Earlier discoveries in two other prospects found other "multi-element anomalies hosting elevated base metals, including lead, zinc and copper," it adds.
"The geochemical assemblages identified at the three prospects via the soil sampling programme are indicative of a geological system enriched in base metals", the company says.
It regards the high level of zinc, lead and copper mineralisation as an indicator for BHT (Broken Hill Type) deposits. This name derives from the Broken Hill ore deposit in New South Wales, Australia, which is believed to be the world's richest and largest zinc-lead deposit.
Metals of Africa says that the Mazoe River project is still at an early stage, but the company is encouraged by the similarities with Broken Hill.
The company has eight exploration licences, mostly in southern Tete, between the Mazoe and Luia rivers. The area is regarded as highly favourable, not only for zinc and lead, but also for silver.

Sedona Public Library is pleased to announce the return of Read Around Sedona, the Library's community reading project. The goal of Read Around Sedona is to promote reading and discussing a specific book to bring the community together.
The featured book for Read Around Sedona 2019 is Arizona Kicks on Route 66, by travel writer Roger Naylor. Established in 1926, Route 66 was one of the original U.S. highways. During the Great Depression, it became the major path by which people migrated west seeking work, warm weather, and new opportunities.
Today, Arizona contains the longest unbroken stretch of Route 66 still in existence, and exploring it is a trip not to be missed. As Naylor explains, "this is where you'll find the world's best-preserved meteor crater, one of the largest dry caverns in the U.S., remnants of ancient civilizations, and scenery that can't be matched by any other state.
Route 66's fascinating history and present-day attractions are all detailed in Naylor's book. Written as a travel guide, Arizona Kicks on Route 66 captures the astounding landscapes, small-town getaways, and homemade pies along the Arizona portion of the "Mother Road." For people who remember traveling Route 66 when they were younger, it's also chock-full of memories. The stunning images in the book are from Larry Lindahl, a longtime photographer for Arizona Highways and a Sedona resident.
Copies of Arizona Kicks on Route 66 are available at the Library. As part of Read Around Sedona, the Library has planned programs based on Naylor's book. Please check the events calendar on the Library website at _URL_
The kick-off event, featuring author Roger Naylor, will take place on Friday, April 5, at 10:30 a.m. in the community room at Sedona Public Library, 3250 White Bear Road. Route 66 is one of the author's favorite topics, and he's sure to be an engaging speaker. His books will be for sale following the program, and he will be available to sign them.
A Cottonwood resident, Roger Naylor is one of Arizona's premier travel writers. In 2018, he was inducted into the Arizona Tourism Hall of Fame. He has contributed to dozens of regional and national publications. He is the author of The Amazing Kolb Brothers of Grand Canyon and Boots and Burgers: An Arizona Handbook for Hungry Hikers. Look for his new book about Arizona state parks to be released soon. For more information about Roger Naylor, visit his website at _URL_.
We are excited about this opportunity for our community and hope you will participate in Read Around Sedona 2019. Please contact Cheryl Yeatts at _PHONE_ or email _EMAIL_ for more information.

Scripture Reference – Luke 8:51
People do a lot of social activities during the holiday season. There are so many opportunities to fellowship with others. In addition to fellowshipping with others, social fitness is also about setting and maintaining boundaries. Boundaries are important in any relationship such as marriage, family, friendship, neighbors, co-workers, classmates, church members, etc. Boundaries let us know exactly where we stand in each relationship as well as what is acceptable and what is unacceptable in various social settings.
Jarius, a ruler of the Jews, came to Jesus Christ requesting him to heal his daughter. Jesus Christ went to Jarius' house and set boundaries so that the healing could take place. He put people out of the house. Only her parents and certain disciples were able to be in the operating room. The parents held the original idea of their daughters' perfection. Each of the disciples present represented a particular spiritual faculty that was a necessary part of the healing process: Peter (faith), James (order), John (love).
Consciousness is our awareness of God and the good in each situation. Each person has an individual consciousness and each group has a collective consciousness. Jesus Christ desired for the collective consciousness of the group to be one of healing. Any individual who did not hold the vision of the young lady's wholeness had to leave the room. Only those who were on one accord with the Christ consciousness could stay in the room.
Jesus Christ manifested social fitness by setting boundaries in the house. He was not afraid to say who could stay and who had to go. Like Jesus Christ, it is important for us to know when to put people out of the room of our lives. Releasing people and letting them go is essential to our success at being socially fit. Some people are not able to be with us in certain places or at certain times due to their consciousness.

Nor'easter is Here
So what is a Nor'easter?
Here in the Eastern U.S.A. they can occur anytime from October and April when there's plenty of moisture and cold air. Like tonight, they bring heavy rain and snow and sometimes hurricane-force winds and rough surf that can cause coastal flooding.
It is named for winds that blow in from the northeast and send the storm up the gulf stream.

What are the 50 State Animals?
In 1782, the United States' founders selected the American Bald Eagle as the official symbol for the infant nation. The majestic, soaring bird and its life in the vast frontier inspired the country.
About 150 years later, individual states began choosing their own animal symbols for local representation and regional pride. Each state in the union has at least an official bird symbol. Many states have also selected a variety of other species within the animal kingdom as representatives. The animals reflect their local habitats, regional economic strengths and historical significances.
In 2008, Andrew Woodward embarked on the painting project, 'Fifty State Animals.' A piece dedicated to Americana, fifty 8 x 8" panels hang in a grid displaying fifty state animal symbols. Woodward begins each painting with an abstract, patterned backgrounds. He then selects the animals that fit best for each composition. "What is Fifty State Animals," at Made in Fort Point, explains the animals' history for the viewers with prints and is highlighted by an installation of the series.
