reason to use -reset is if your action
 depends on running in cooked mode.
 The -echo flag sends characters that match the following
 pattern back to the process that generated them as each
 character is read. This may be useful when the user needs
 to see feedback from partially typed patterns.
 If a pattern is being echoed but eventually fails to match,
 the characters are sent to the spawned process. If the
 spawned process then echoes them, the user will see the
 characters twice. -echo is probably only appropriate in
 situations where the user is unlikely to not complete the
 pattern. For example, the following excerpt is from rftp,
 the recursive-ftp script, where the user is prompted to
 enter ~g, ~p, or ~l, to get, put, or list the current
 directory recursively. These are so far away from the
 normal ftp commands, that the user is unlikely to type ~
 followed by anything else, except mistakenly, in which
 case, they'll probably just ignore the result anyway.
 interact {
 -echo ~g {getcurdirectory 1}
 -echo ~l {getcurdirectory 0}
 -echo ~p {putcurdirectory}
 }
 The -nobuffer flag sends characters that match the
 following pattern on to the output process as characters
 are read.
 This is useful when you wish to let a program echo back the
 pattern. For example, the following might be used to
 monitor where a person is dialing (a Hayes-style modem).
 Each time "atd" is seen the script logs the rest of the
 line.
 proc lognumber {} {
 interact -nobuffer -re "(.*)\r" return
 puts $log "[clock format [clock seconds]]: dialed $interact_out(1,string)"
 }
 interact -nobuffer "atd" lognumber
 During interact, previous use of log_user is ignored. In
 particular, interact will force its output to be logged
 (sent to the standard output) since it is presumed the user
 doesn't wish to interact blindly.
 The -o flag causes any following key-body pairs to be
 applied to the output of the current process. This can be
 useful, for example, when dealing with hosts that send
 unwanted characters during a telnet session.
 By default, interact expects the user to be writing stdin
 and reading stdout of the Expect process itself. The -u
 flag (for "user") makes interact look for the user as the
 process named by its argument (which must be a spawned id).
 This allows two unrelated processes to be joined together
 without using an explicit loop. To aid in debugging,
 Expect diagnostics always go to stderr (or stdout for
 certain logging and debugging information). For the same
 reason, the interpreter command will read interactively
 from stdin.
 For example, the following fragment creates a login
 process. Then it dials the user (not shown), and finally
 connects the two together. Of course, any process may be
 substituted for login. A shell, for example, would allow
 the user to work without supplying an account and password.
 spawn login
 set login $spawn_id
 spawn tip modem
 # dial back out to user
 # connect user to login
 interact -u $login
 To send output to multiple processes, list each spawn id
 list prefaced by a -output flag. Input for a group of
 output spawn ids may be determined by a spawn id list
 prefaced by a -input flag. (Both -input and -output may
 take lists in the same form as the -i flag in the expect
 command, except that any_spawn_id is not meaningful in
 interact.) All following flags and strings (or patterns)
 apply to this input until another -input flag appears. If
 no -input appears, -output implies "-input $user_spawn_id
 -output". (Similarly, with patterns that do not have
 -input.) If one -input is specified, it overrides
 $user_spawn_id. If a second -input is specified, it
 overrides $spawn_id. Additional -input flags may be
 specified.
 The two implied input processes default to having their
 outputs specified as $spawn_id and $user_spawn_id (in
 reverse). If a -input flag appears with no -output flag,
 characters from that process are discarded.
 The -i flag introduces a replacement for the current
 spawn_id when no other -input or -output flags are used. A
 -i flag implies a -o flag.
 It is possible to change the processes that are being
 interacted with by using indirect spawn ids. (Indirect
 spawn ids are described in the section on the expect
 command.) Indirect spawn ids may be specified with the -i,
 -u, -input, or -output flags.
 interpreter [args]
 causes the user to be interactively prompted for Expect and
 Tcl commands. The result of each command is printed.
 Actions such as break and continue cause control structures
 (i.e., for, proc) to behave in the usual way. However
 return causes interpreter to return to its caller, while
 inter_return causes interpreter to cause a return in its
 caller. For example, if "proc foo" called interpreter
 which then executed the action inter_return, proc foo would
 return. Any other command causes interpreter to continue
 prompting for new commands.
 By default, the prompt contains two integers. The first
 integer describes the depth of the evaluation stack (i.e.,
 how many times Tcl_Eval has been called). The second
 integer is the Tcl history identifier. The prompt can be
 set by defining a procedure called "prompt1" whose return
 value becomes the next prompt. If a statement has open
 quotes, parens, braces, or brackets, a secondary prompt (by
 default "+> ") is issued upon newline. The secondary
 prompt may be set by defining a procedure called "prompt2".
 During interpreter, cooked mode is used, even if the its
 caller was using raw mode.
 If stdin is closed, interpreter will return unless the -eof
 flag is used, in which case the subsequent argument is
 invoked.
 log_file [args] [[-a] file]
 If a filename is provided, log_file will record a
 transcript of the session (beginning at that point) in the
 file. log_file will stop recording if no argument is
 given. Any previous log file is closed.
 Instead of a filename, a Tcl file identifier may be
 provided by using the -open or -leaveopen flags. This is
 similar to the spawn command. (See spawn for more info.)
 The -a flag forces output to be logged that was suppressed
 by the log_user command.
 By default, the log_file command appends to old files
 rather than truncating them, for the convenience of being
 able to turn logging off and on multiple times in one
 session. To truncate files, use the -noappend flag.
 The -info flag causes log_file to return a description of
 the most recent non-info arguments given.
 log_user -info|0|1
 By default, the send/expect dialogue is logged to stdout
 (and a logfile if open). The logging to stdout is disabled
 by the command "log_user 0" and reenabled by "log_user 1".
 Logging to the logfile is unchanged.
 The -info flag causes log_user to return a description of
 the most recent non-info arguments given.
 match_max [-d] [-i spawn_id] [size]
 defines the size of the buffer (in bytes) used internally
 by expect. With no size argument, the current size is
 returned.
 With the -d flag, the default size is set. (The initial
 default is 2000.) With the -i flag, the size is set for
 the named spawn id, otherwise it is set for the current
 process.
 overlay [-# spawn_id] [-# spawn_id] [...] program [args]
 executes program args in place of the current Expect
 program, which terminates. A bare hyphen argument forces a
 hyphen in front of the command name as if it was a login
 shell. All spawn_ids are closed except for those named as
 arguments. These are mapped onto the named file
 identifiers.
 Spawn_ids are mapped to file identifiers for the new
 program to inherit. For example, the following line runs
 chess and allows it to be controlled by the current process
 - say, a chess master.
 overlay -0 $spawn_id -1 $spawn_id -2 $spawn_id chess
 This is more efficient than "interact -u", however, it
 sacrifices the ability to do programmed interaction since
 the Expect process is no longer in control.
 Note that no controlling terminal is provided. Thus, if
 you disconnect or remap standard input, programs that do
 job control (shells, login, etc) will not function
 properly.
 parity [-d] [-i spawn_id] [value]
 defines whether parity should be retained or stripped from
 the output of spawned processes. If value is zero, parity
 is stripped, otherwise it is not stripped. With no value
 argument, the current value is returned.
 With the -d flag, the default parity value is set. (The
 initial default is 1, i.e., parity is not stripped.) With
 the -i flag, the parity value is set


Let me explain. I have created a custom component, when editing the element and saving it once, I would like to display next to the alias the sef frontend link to this element. Here is a screenshot to explain :
I haven't coded anything yet because I'm not sure how to do it?
I'm assuming that since you're asking about SEF URLs for your component that you've already built your own custom router (as SEF URLs for a custom component are dependent upon that). If not then you can follow the example described in _URL_ and following tutorial steps.
If you've done that then outputting an SEF URL on the admin backend is similar to how you create an SEF URL on the front end using JRoute::_ and passing the various parameters such as your component (option), id of your item, Itemid of the menuitem, etc. Except that on the admin side you should use
use Joomla\CMS\Router\Route;
$url = Route::link("site", "index.php?option=com_example&view=showitem&id=14);
See Joomla Route link for the API definition and URLs in Joomla for a description of how to use these functions.
Note that the link method is available only since Joomla 3.9, so if you're working on a version which predates that then it's rather more tricky, as you have to hack your way into the Joomla core code, but not impossible.
Also just be aware that the SEF URL may differ depending upon the Itemid of the menuitem which you pass to the link function and how you've built your custom router.
 - OK, thank you, your answer gave me the right direction. – Laurent Jan 20 at 14:07

Chart of the Day: Percent Homes Using Wood, Coal
CENSUS BUREAU -- Tracing the history of heating fuels from 1940 to 2000 shows that 3-in-4 households used coal or wood in 1940, whereas only 1.8% of homes used these fuels in 2000. Homes using coal or coke for heating fuel dropped rapidly in each decade between 1940 (55%) and 1970 (2.9%); and the rate continued to drop until 0.1% of homes used these fuels in 2000. Wood, used as a major heating fuel in 1940 (23%), virtually disappeared by 1970 (only 1.3%). Since that time, it has shown a modest comeback in 1990 (3.9%), but dropped in 2000 (1.7%). It was the dominant fuel in the Pacific Northwest and South in 1940.
Update: Here's maybe one interesting way to look at the data in the chart above. It took thousands and thousands of years before fewer than half of all American households in 1950 needed either wood or coal to heat their homes (counting the long history of Native Americans), and then it took only 50 years for almost all of the rest of the households to eliminate wood and coal as their main source of home heating fuel. In other words, what first took thousands of years to accomplish was then next accomplished in only 50 years.

Roman Terracotta Oil Lamp with a Peacock
A Roman terracotta oil lamp with a volute nozzle and a concave, decorated discuss. Within its centre is a large bird, a peacock with its tail feathers furled. The bird can be defined as a peacock due to the artist's attempt to create the eyespots so familiar to this birds plumage.
This discus is surrounded by three deeply incised concentric circles. The base is marked also with an incised circle. There is also a makers mark to the reverse, consisting of a single indented stroke.
Date: Circa 1st century AD
Condition: Very fine. Burn mark to the nozzle and some encrustation.
SKU: AH-682 Category: Tag:
The peacock was often associated with the Roman goddess Juno, considered her sacred bird. It was said that the queen of the Roman gods flew across the skies in a peacock driven chariot. There are various associations between the deity and the bird, including the myth by Ovid in Metamorphoses, Book 1. The myth recounts that, Io daughter of Inachus, had fallen victim to Jupiter's attentions. Trying to keep her safe, Jupiter turns Io into a white heifer of the purest form. Juno, seeing the wondrous and beautiful animal claimed it for herself. She placed it under the protection of Argus Panoptes ('All Seeing'), the many-eyed giant. In his efforts to claim Io back, Jupiter sent the messenger god Mercury to retrieve her. Mercury lulls Argus asleep with his music and kills the giant, stealing Io away. In response Juno places the many eyes of the fallen giant upon her favourite bird, the peacock, as commemoration.
The incuse mark on the reverse has been used on other lamps, dated to the 1st century and a specific workshop, operating in both Italy and North Africa.

Johannesburg — In an ideal society, every child would have an equal shot at achieving their human potential, regardless of their race, gender, family background or where they were born. The reality in South Africa, one of the most unequal societies in the world, is that a white boy born to a two-parent household in suburban Johannesburg has a much greater chance of succeeding in life than a black girl born to a single mother in rural Kwa-Zulu Natal.
The World Bank's six-monthly economic update for South Africa, released on 24 July, features findings from a study that compared the inequality of opportunities for South African children with their peers in other middle-income countries and found that South Africa is lagging behind on a number of key indicators.
The report uses the Human Opportunity Index (HOI), which is the coverage rate of a particular basic service adjusted according to how equitably the service is distributed among different population groups, to compare opportunities among children. The authors found that while school attendance for children under 15 and access to telecommunications were nearly universal, provision of water, sanitation, health insurance and completion of primary school on time varied considerably depending on a child's circumstances.
Speaking at the launch of the report, Ambar Narayan, a lead economist with the World Bank and co-author of the report, explained that location – whether a child lives in a township, urban or rural area – emerged as the most important factor, particularly for opportunities relating to infrastructure.
Education of the household head was the second most important factor, while gender only appeared to matter in relation to finishing primary school on time. Race alone was not a major factor but Narayan pointed out that socioeconomic circumstances often correlated with race.
The study found that children's access to safe water and improved sanitation were lower and much more influenced by circumstances in South Africa…

How Do Farmers Know If A Chicken Egg Is Fertilized?
Can you decrow a rooster?
I found that hatchets decrow roosters very well.
Some people have a rooster box for their roos to keep them quit.
Even if they crow it is not as loud, you could make one from a tote from wallmart.
Just make sure you put plenty of air holes at the bottom and a few at the top on one side..
Are eggs a chickens period?
Although chickens do not menstruate (and thus their eggs are not "chicken periods" as is sometimes asserted), the cycle of creating and passing much larger eggs relative to their body size and weight is arguably even more physically taxing, especially in modern hens who have been bred to produce such unnaturally high …
Can you eat a fertilized chicken egg?
The answer is yes. It is perfectly okay to eat fertilized eggs. Also, as mentioned in the previous paragraphs, once the fertilized egg is stored inside the fridge, the embryo no longer undergoes any change or development. Rest assured that you can eat your fertilized chicken eggs just fine like the unfertilized ones.
Can 2 roosters live together?
How many fertilized eggs does a hen lay?
The semen can be viable for up to two weeks in the SST, so if a hen is in that productive phase of her life where she is laying 1 egg per day, then the single copulation could produce up to 14 fertile eggs.
How long does a rooster have to be with a hen before the eggs are fertile?
two to three weeksWhen a hen has laid at least two infertile eggs in a row, you can be pretty sure her SSTs are clear of sperm. Many chicken keepers, to assure fertile eggs are from the desired mating, simply put the hen and rooster together, then wait two to three weeks before collecting the eggs for hatching.
Do Roosters have balls?
Rooster Testicles They've got two bean-shaped testes located against their backbone in front of the kidneys. Rooster testicles vary in size based on their age and time of year. If you butcher a rooster in the winter his testicles will be smaller than during the spring mating season, when they swell up considerably.
Do chickens have periods?
Birds, however, don't have a uterus, which means they also have no uterine lining and, of course then, no ritual shedding of this lining. Ergo, they have no period.
Why do supermarket eggs not hatch?
Eggs you buy from a supermarket aren't fertilized, so they will never hatch. … The hen will still lay eggs whether they have been fertilized by the rooster or not. Eggs that have been fertilized will develop into a baby chick and hatch.
Are supermarket eggs Fertilised?
Most eggs sold commercially in the grocery store are from poultry farms and have not been fertilized. … Given the right nutrients, hens will lay eggs with or without having been in the presence of a rooster. For an egg to become fertilized, a hen and rooster must mate prior to the formation and laying of the egg.
Why do chickens run before mating?
A hen runs because she doesn't want to be mated. The rooster doesn't care about what the hen wants; he'll chase her down, hold her down, and mate her whether she wants to or not. Chickens don't think of things in human terms, but if they did, you'd say there was a lot of rape in a chicken flock.
How many times does a rooster need to fertilize a hen?
Does a rooster fertilize every egg?
You don't need a rooster for your hens to lay eggs, as hens will lay just as many eggs whether there's a rooster around or not. However, a rooster is needed to fertilize the eggs to hatch them into baby chicks.
How do you hatch a supermarket egg without an incubator?
How to Give an Egg Heat Without an IncubatorPlace an egg underneath or slightly near a hen inside the nest.The hen will instinctively roll eggs in her nest under her body.Eggs will receive heat naturally and then the hens adopt the hatchling.Place a medium-sized towel in a cardboard shoe box.Set the egg in the middle of the towel.More items…
How does a rooster fertilize the eggs?
The rooster jumps on the hen and breeds her and the egg gets fertilized inside the hen before she lays it. … If there is a rooster with the hen the eggs she lays will be fertile, and if she sits on the fertile eggs for 21 days they will hatch into baby chickens.
Why do roosters die after mating?
These dads die after devoting all their resources and energy to mating, an effort that helps their sperm—and genes—win out. Since the 1970s, scientists have suspected that females synchronize mating so that they wean their young at the same time that insect abundance peaks each year.

perl,unix , Capture tee's argument inside piped Perl execution
Capture tee's argument inside piped Perl execution
Question:
Tag: perl,unix
How to capture piped command's argument ?
I use :
perl my_script.pl -some_args | tee arg_filename
How to get arg_filename 's value inside my_script.pl ?
CONTEXT
I need to send this filename in a mail which my_script.pl sends at the end.
I need to use tee because we dump huge output in the standard logging which we use inside my_script.pl but we print more relevant things on STDOUT and STDERR.
This script imports and uses additional proprietary libraries which could not be edited. But they too generate logs.
Answer:
The short answer is - you can't.
tee is a separate process with it's own arguments. There is no way to access these arguments from that process. (well, I suppose you could run ps or something).
The point of tee is to take STDOUT write some of it to a log file, and pass through the rest of it down the 'pipe'. (Which results in printing it if nothing else).
What you could probably do instead is implement some manner of logging within your perl script, where the core functionality of tee is replicated by printing a line to both STDOUT and a designated log file.

Double rows of tall wheatgrass (Agropyron elongatum) were planted as barriers 48 ft apart near Culbertson, MT. The greatest soil water gain occurred during the harvest to spring period, with a precipitation storage efficiency ranging from 41-57 %. Annually cropped wheat and spring wheat following fallow responded positively to barrier protection. Yields were highest in the annual crop rotation of wheat-barley-safflower, followed by the 3-yr rotation with fallow. The traditional fallow-crop system had the lowest yields. Net returns paralleled yield results, and in most instances there was an economic benefit from the barriers. Also, safflower had a high net return and appears to have potential as an alternative crop in Montana.

Boeing have enlisted Oxford Performance Materials (OPM) to 3D print parts for their CST-100 Starliner spacecraft. The Starliner will launch early next year. OPM have already begun shipping the OXFAB parts to Boeing ready for installation. Back on Earth, 3D printed parts will be incorporated into Boeing's commercial air plane engines. Including the Boeing 737 that uses GE's LEAP nozzle, the engine having recently been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration. Oxford Performance Materials will be using Selective Laser Melting in manufacturing their lightweight OXFAB parts for Boeing.
The CST spacecraft
Boeing's Starliner spacecraft was developed in collaboration with NASA's Commercial Crew Program. The off world vessel will transport up to 7 crew members to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) destinations, such as the International Space Station. The spacecraft can transport cargo and people simultaneously.
The 3D printed parts
Boeing chose Oxford Performance Materials for their continued demonstration of producing high performing additive manufactured materials which provide lightweight solutions perfect for aerospace application. The company which was founded in 2000 is focused on manufacturing fully functional parts through use of its OXPEKK material which is a poly-ether-ketone-ketone formulation.
Lawrence Varholak, President of OPM Aerospace and Industrial, spoke about the developments,
From our earliest discussions with Boeing, they stressed the need to see significant reductions in weight, cost and lead times in order to consider replacing traditional metallic and composite parts with a new technology for their space programme. We are proud to be developing and delivering OXFAB technology to the highest standards.
Through additive manufacturing and OXPEKK material, OPM have been able to provide a solution for Boeing which includes shorter lead times and cheaper manufacturing yet yielding high quality parts which although lightweight have great strength and heat tolerance. The parts produced have been created in collaboration with NASA, who themselves have recently given a $500,000 grant to the University of Pittsburgh to develop superalloy research.

The hydraulic control system of the motorcycle lifting platform is the key to the operation of the entire lifting platform, so attention must be paid during production and use. The following will introduce you to the steps of the hydraulic control system during the operation of the motorcycle lift table.
1、 Hydraulic Control System for Lifting Platform of Ordinary Motorcycle
When using, be sure to tighten the oil return valve knob clockwise, pull the manual reversing valve handle to the "neutral" position, start the motor to make the system work, and then pull the reversing handle to the "raised" position. When the hydraulic lifting platform is lifted and reaches the required height, the motorcycle lifting platform stops moving. When the reversing handle is pushed to the "neutral" position, the motor shuts down.
When lowering, the return valve is released, and the motorcycle lift table can be lowered by its own weight. Add a standby manual pump to the hydraulic control system of the motorcycle lift table, which can be used without power supply. When using a manual pump, first tighten the knob of the oil return valve clockwise, pull the handle to the "neutral" position, and then press the handle to lift. Loosen the return valve knob when lowering. The motorcycle lift table descends due to its own weight. The method of operation when using electric motors or diesel engines.
2、 Hydraulic control system of electromagnetic directional valve
First press the motor switch. When the oil pump is pumping, the oil pump is in the unloading state. Press the start switch, the electromagnetic reversing valve 1DT operates, and the motorcycle lifting platform lifts. After reaching the required working height, the lift switch can be turned off for operation. Press the switch, the electromagnetic directional valve 2DT operates, and the motorcycle lift table descends to the original position through its own weight.
3、 Support valve control hydraulic system
First, start the motor switch, the motor rotates, the gear pump draws oil, the cylinder extends, and the motorcycle lift table rises; When raising to the required height for work, press the motor stop button, and the motorcycle lift table will stop lifting, then proceed with the operation. Press the electromagnet button, and the motorcycle lifting platform is now connected to the oil cylinder. The hydraulic lifting platform has its own weight.
The above is the operation steps of the hydraulic control system for the motorcycle lifting platform, and I hope to be helpful to everyone.


7 Key Benefits of Having an EHS Software
If you follow closely about the happenings in the world of tech, the chances are that you have come across the name EHS software. In the recent past, EHS, which stands for environment, health and safety, is becoming increasingly popular. According to the directors of EHS software, the investment in this amazing software has continued to grow in recent years, and for a good reason. This sudden trend has left some of the organizations that are yet to invest in the software, the question on whether it's worth the investment.
Without saying much, here are the top key benefits of having EHS software for both the company and individual employees.
1. Saves time
One interesting thing about incorporating EHS software into your organization is that it helps with time-saving. The EHS team and consultants are known to spend too much time on administrative tasks. The software features things such as dashboards and notifications, which can help with eliminating most of the tasks, such as data review, management reporting and analysis. Another thing that you can't forget to mention is the fact that, with the mobile EHS system, employees can easily capture real-time data while on the go.
2. Helps lower the costs of operation
In the modern world, where the cost of running an entity is experiencing dramatic changes, every other organization is looking for a way to reduce the production costs. Well, according to technical experts from Basic Safe, investing in this software is one of the best ways to lower the costs of operations. Remember, time lost is worth money. Therefore, the fact that this software helps save time means savings on the cost of running the business. Also, the software is known to benefit the employee by preventing unwanted events. As you are aware, these unwanted events are what results in related fees, such as medical, legal fees, compensation expenses, fines, travel expenses and even lost administrative time. According to the software's directors, most of the companies who have invested in the software have reported seeing a payback in less than a year.
3. Connect the employees
Depending on the size of your organization, some challenges present themselves during the operation.
One of the most common challenges that most big entities face is the ability to connect their employees. Say, for instance, with hundreds of employees spread across the different departments, and the various locations, it can prove not very easy to keep everyone on the same page. Well, the amazing thing about investing in the software is that it brings all the data, plus the operations in one interface. With such an arrangement, it's much easier for the employees to collaborate on the tasks and get more tasks done, without any hustles.
4. Increases the output
As mentioned above, EHS software helps connect your employees within the same location, and those that may be in a far distance. With the increased collaboration, it means an increase in the company's output. Also, another thing to consider is the environmental and safety performance within the company. On normal occasions, it's usually hard to see the trends in environmental and safety performance. You have to wait until the reports are run at the end of a period. Luckily, for you, by introducing the EHS software, it's easy to visualize the data in real-time using the dashboards. With the availability of this vital info, you can pick up the near misses at particular locations and manage them before they result in a serious incident.
5. Increases work transparency
Environmental, health and safety are among the three critical things that every other entity must ensure that they are reported right. Unfortunately, many times, reporting such critical details may prove challenging. Luckily, with the introduction of this amazing software, there is nothing much to worry about. The software allows you to report the key metrics in a more efficient and integrated way. In addition to key reporting, the software allows transparency within the company as your shareholders and EHS leaders can see where the company stands at all the time. Automatic alerts play a vital role when it comes to establishing transparency within your entity.
6. Ensures that you stick to the right side of the law
For every incident that occurs within your workplace, there are chances of getting fined. The fines are usually costly and can see your entity lose a considerable sum of money, if not careful. It would, therefore, help if you avoided non-compliance when it comes to the workplace regulations. When it comes to the software's use, the functionality may vary based on one industry to the other. Say, for example, if your field of expertise is construction, you may want to prioritize fall protection in your software. The system allows you to track all the info needed if a party claims an incident. Some of the info you may need includes; witness statement, photo evidence, and steps taken to reduce the risk.
7. Improves on worker's safety
Your workers are an important asset to your organization. They are the persons that are responsible for driving your organization to a higher level. It's for employee's safety that most employers, therefore invest in an EHS system at work. With the software, it means that as an employer, you can easily adhere to the safety standards as outlined by the regulatory bodies. Also, the in-depth reporting ensures that you establish a safe workplace for your employees. In the end, including the software in your company means that your employees will find your place of work a safer place to work.
Establishing a successful venture is one thing that most entrepreneurs struggle daily to accomplish. You can't ignore the many challenges that come along the way. In the recent past, EHS software has been making its way to the news headlines with promises of the many benefits it can offer when implemented. The sudden trend has left many people asking a lot of questions. Explained in this piece are some of the advantages that come with adding the software into your operations. By reading through the entire article, you will have a clear understanding of what it feels to incorporate the software.

The effects of constructional solutions of plasticizing screw configurations and extrusion
conditions on polypropylene composite properties
Polimery 2005, No 11-12, 881
Polypropylene (PP) composites were extruded with various mineral fillers (synthetic microsilica, surface modified chalk, talc, talc-dolomite) (Tables 1 and 2) and with compatibilizer (polypropylene grafted with maleic anhydride). Various extruders have been used: single-screw extruder (symbol I) or two types of corotating twin-screw extruders [symbol II (Figs. 1 and 2) and symbol III (Fig. 3)]. The effects of constructional features of the screws of plasticizing systems, especially of corotating twin-screw one, and rotational speed of the screws (n) on the composites properties were investigated (Tables 3-5). Namely, the effects of rotational speed of the screws on the following properties were determined: maximum tensile stress (sM, Fig. 4), Charpy notched impact strength (acN, Fig. 5), melt flow rate (MFR, Fig. 9), screws' drive energy consumption (Fig. 6), crystallization degree (X) and degree of filler dispergation in PP (Figs. 7 and 8). It was found that corotating twin-screw plasticizing system shows better characteristics of mixing effectiveness than single-screw one. Additionally, corotating twin-screw system makes possible the control of mixing process and this way allows obtaining the same thermo-mechanical history of the particles of the blend. It was observed the composite properties depend both on its composition and the way of introducing to the extruder.

Feng's research concerns building science and techniques, specifically urban heat islands and cool materials. She is being supervised by Professor Mattheos Santamouris and Dr Lan Ding.
One of the most promising and powerful techniques to mitigating the heat island phenomenon is believed to be the use of materials that present high reflectivity to the solar radiation and high spectural emissivity.
These 'cool materials' contribute to increasing the urban albedo and are the subject of Feng's studies. The full title of her proposed thesis is 'Development, testing and application of advanced cool materials for facade, roof and pavement to mitigate heat islands in the urban environment'.

Can girls play softball? Can girls be school crossing guards? Can girls play basketball or ice hockey or soccer? Can girls become lawyers or doctors or engineers?
Of course they can...today. But just a few decades ago, opportunities for girls were far more limited, not because they weren't capable of playing or didn't want to become doctors or lawyers, but because they weren't allowed to. Then quietly, in 1972, something momentous happened: Congress passed a law called "Title IX," forever changing the lives of American girls.
From the Sibert Honor-winning author of Six Days in October comes this powerful tale of courage and persistence, the stories of the people who believed that girls could do anything -- and were willing to fight to prove it.
Hundreds of determined lawmakers, teachers, parents, and athletes carefully plotted to ensure that the law was passed, protected, and enforced. Time and time again, they were pushed back by fierce opposition. But as a result of their perseverance, millions of American girls can now play sports. Young women make up half of the nation's medical and law students, and star on the best basketball, soccer, and softball teams in the world. This small law made a huge difference.
"Few books cover the last few decades of American women's history with such clarity and detail, and this comprehensive title draws attention to the hard-won battles, the struggles that remain, and the chilling possibility that rights, if not fiercely protected, can easily be lost." -- School Library Journal

While out in Boston a couple of weeks ago, I of course took the time to roam through the cemeteries. Since I was without a car, I went through the cemeteries which are close to the downtown area and those on the Freedom Trail, a 3 mile walking tour through Boston which goes by the historic sites, such as Paul Revere's house and the Old North Church. One of the cemeteries on the Freedom Trail is Copp's Hill Cemetery, where I found this stone.
David Copp, son of David and Obedience, died at the age of 2 Weeks, on December 22, 1661. Thomas Copp died at the age of 2 years and 3 quarters, on July 25, 1678. Notice that some of the letters in the carving are raised above the other letters. This was not an uncommon practice. If the person carving the stone ran out of room, he would often carve the remaining letters above the others, rather than discarding the whole stone and starting over.
Also of interest on this marker is the use of the term "3 quarters" when referring to the age of Thomas. I think that this is the first time I have seen this wording on a grave marker.


text: Cinematic Journeys explores the interconnected histories, theories and aesthetics of mobile vision and cinematic movement. It traces the links between certain types of movement of/in the frame and broader cultural trends that have historically informed Western sensibilities. It contextualises that genealogy with detailed analysis of contemporary and recent 'travel films' as well as older works. The book investigates how movements of exploration, discovery and revelation are activated in specific cinematic narratives of travelling and displacement. Such narratives are analysed with attention to the mass population movements and displacements that form their referential background. Cinematic Journeys also examines the ways in which travelling affects film itself. Case studies focus on films as travelling commodities (with the popularity of Indian films in Greece in the 1950s and 60s as case study); and, through a study of subtitles, on the category of the 'foreign spectator' (who in the encounter with 'foreign' films moves across cultural borders). Films considered in the book include Sunrise, Slow Motion, Hukkle, Death in Venice, Voyage to Italy, The Motorcycle Diaries, Koktebel, Japon, Blackboards, Ulysses' Gaze, and the work of directors Tony Gatliff and Fatih Akin.

Centralised sampling system
The Centralised Sampling System facilitates sample taking from beer tanks. It is a modular system equipped for taking out samples from up to 12 tanks. Because of the position of the sampling valve on vertical fermenters or bright beer tanks, access to sampling point often requires platforms. The system allows for placing the sample valve at the optimal point for sampling: on the middle of the cylindrical part of the vessel, independent of whether there is easy access to this point or not.
When taking a sample there are two possibilities; either sterile or non-sterile sampling. For sterile sampling of the chosen tank, the "sterile" button is pressed and the pipeline to the sampling panel will be steam sterilised. After sterilising, the pipeline is blown dry with sterile air or CO2. Now the "sampling" button can be pressed and the sample media will flow from the chosen tank to the sample coil at the sample panel. By pressing the "flush" button, the pipeline is hereafter flushed with water, steamed and blown dry.
When choosing non-sterile sampling for non-microbiological samples the first step after choosing the tank, is to press the "sampling" button. The sampling process will then be the same as above but without the sterilisation before the sample is taken. The sample valves and pipelines with other valves are CIP'ed together with the tank. The cleaning process is started by pressing the "CIP" button or by external signal from a PLC and runs automatically according to the pre-selected time.
- Fully automatic and safe sampling from selected tanks
- "Fool proof" operation
- Highly sanitary sampling
- Economic solution compared to "cat-walk" installations
- Optimal sampling point position on tank regardless of tank construction and access
- Simultaneous sampling and or CIP


Figure 32 The BIOS hard drive configuration area
This example shows two controllers (a primary and a secondary), with each supporting two devices (a master and a slave). This configuration allows you to connect a total of four separate devices to the workstation. Besides the hard drive, IDE controllers also support connecting CD/DVD devices, so you'll need to be careful when evaluating your disk controller situation.
If your motherboard contains only one disk controller and uses it for the hard drive and the CD/DVD device, you won't be able to add a second hard drive on that controller. Usually you can find plug-in disk controller cards to add a second controller to the workstation. You'll need to do that if you want to add another hard drive.
If your motherboard contains two disk controllers, you can purchase a second hard drive and easily connect it to one of the controllers to use for Ubuntu. The Ubuntu installation process detects the empty hard drive and will format it for Ubuntu.
If both of the disk controllers already contain one device, you'll need to use a master/ slave configuration to add the second hard drive. This process requires a controller cable that has three plugs—one for connecting to the motherboard and two connectors to plug devices into.
The devices themselves must also be specially configured for this setup. Each device uses a jumper setting to determine where in the chain it's located. One hard drive must be set as the master hard drive, and one must be set as the slave.
Many advanced server systems use a small computer system interface (SCSI) hard drive controller instead of an IDE controller. SCSI controllers typically allow SGCfGt up to seven devices per controller channel (although some newer ones allow 16
devices). These controllers are popular in servers that support multiple hard drives ^ in a redundant array of inexpensive disk (RAID) configuration. RAID systems use multiple hard drives to emulate a single hard drive for fault-tolerance purposes. ^^k^^r There are several formats of RAID support:
- RAID0: Divides data among multiple hard drives but without redundancy.
- RAID1: Writes all data to two or more drives (called mirroring).
- RAID2: Incorporates error detection codes within stored data.
- RAID3: Stores data across several drives at the byte level, reserving one drive to store a parity bit. The parity bit is used to rebuild an individual drive if it fails.
- RAID4: Stores data across several drives at the block level, reserving one drive to store a parity bit.
- RAID5: Stores data across several drives at the block level; also writes a parity bit for each block on the drives.
RAID1 is common when only two hard drives are present. One hard drive is the primary, and the other is a hot backup. The disk controller performs all disk write requests from the operating system on both hard drives. RAID3 and RAID5 are the most popular methods of RAID disk support and usually require three or more hard drives. Both of these methods can recover data from a complete failure of any one disk in the system.
Despite the "inexpensive" part of its name, RAID technology can be expensive, and it is used primarily for high-availability server environments. The Ubuntu server installation can detect and use most SCSI controllers and RAID configurations.
However, don't confuse a hardware RAID environment with a software RAID. Many Windows servers allow you to emulate a RAID environment using standard disk hardware. This is called a software RAID because there aren't multiple disks, but the operating system acts as if there are. Ubuntu will work with standard disk drives, but it won't emulate a RAID environment using them.

Predicting Human Instability in Flood Flowsby S. R. Abt, Colorado State Univ, United States,
R. J. Wittler, Colorado State Univ, United States,
A. Taylor, Colorado State Univ, United States,
Abstract: The delineation of high flood hazard zones within a flood plain is usually independent of the parameters that constitute a life threatening situation. In order to define human instability in high flow hazard areas, a study was conducted to identify when an adult human could not stand or maneuver in a simulated flood flow. A series of human subjects (90-201 lbs) were placed in a recirculating flume and tested to determine the velocity and depth of flow which caused instability. A relationship was developed to estimate the product number at which a human subject becomes unstable as a function of the height and weight of the subject.

Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale (October 5, 1895 – February 5, 1977) was an American socialite and amateur singer, known for her eccentric lifestyle. She was a sister of John "Black Jack" Bouvier, the father of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. Her life and relationship with her daughter Edith Bouvier Beale were highlighted in the 1975 documentary Grey Gardens.
Early life[edit]
She was the daughter of John Vernou Bouvier, Jr. and Maude Sergeant Bouvier (the paternal grandparents of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis). Beale's mother was the daughter of a wealthy paper manufacturer, and her father was a successful attorney who was appointed Major in the Judge Advocate Corps for the United States Army during World War I. He liked to be addressed as Major Bouvier and later invented a faux royal mythos of his Bouvier lineage in the privately printed Our Forebears, which gave his grandchildren the following quote: "The hallmark of aristocracy is responsibility."
Beale enjoyed a privileged upbringing along with her brothers John Vernou Bouvier III, William Sergeant "Bud" Bouvier (1893–1929), who died at a young age from alcoholism, and her red-headed twin sisters Maude Bouvier Davis (_PHONE_), mother of writer John H. Davis, and Michelle Bouvier Scott Putman (_PHONE_). Beale enjoyed photography, theatrical arts, and as a youth considered becoming a surgeon from her interest in physiology.
Marriage and children[edit]
Beale pursued an amateur singing career and in 1917 married lawyer/financier Phelan Beale (who worked at her father's law firm Bouvier and Beale) in a lavish ceremony at St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York. The couple lived at 987 Madison Avenue (now the site of the Carlyle Hotel). They had three children: daughter Edith (who was referred to as "Little Edie")—born November 7, 1917, and two sons (Phelan Beale, Jr.—born 1920, and Bouvier Beale—born 1922).
In 1923, Phelan Beale purchased the 28-room "Grey Gardens" mansion at number 3 West End Rd in the Georgica neighborhood of East Hampton, a block from the Atlantic Ocean. The Beales separated in 1931 when Little Edie was 14, with "Big Edie" retaining the Grey Gardens house. Beale received child support, but no form of alimony. She continued to pursue her singing career, giving recitals in her home and at local functions. Her sons went off to college and World War II duty and had families of their own.
When she showed up at her son's 1942 wedding dressed like an opera star, Edie's father, Major Bouvier, cut her mostly out of his will—leaving her only a small trust of $65,000 (Beale's mother Maude died in 1940 and Major Bouvier died in 1948). Beale became depressed and gained weight. She also had several eye operations in the 1940s. In 1946, Phelan Beale notified her of their divorce via telegram from Mexico. (Little Edie referred to it as a "fake Mexican divorce" because it was not recognized by the Catholic Church.)
Major Bouvier and her son Bouvier "Buddy" Beale urged Beale for many years to sell her "white elephant" Grey Gardens, but she refused.
Life at Grey Gardens[edit]
Beale had two live-in male companions at various times at Grey Gardens: her accompanist George "Gould" Strong and handyman Tom "Tex" Logan. In July 1952, her daughter Little Edie returned after five years in Manhattan to live permanently at Grey Gardens when Beale was age 57. In 1960, when Beale was 65, her niece Jacqueline Kennedy became First Lady. After a 1968 theft of antiques while Beale was at a party in East Hampton, she began to leave the house less frequently.
In the 1970s, Jacqueline Onassis's sister Lee Radziwill discussed creating a documentary with Albert and David Maysles about her and Jacqueline's childhood in East Hampton. At about the same time, the Edies received national attention when the National Enquirer ran an exposé on the deplorable conditions in which they lived. The Suffolk County, New York, Board of Health made an inspection, ordering them to clean up the property, which was falling into disrepair and contained various cats, raccoons, an opossum, et cetera. The once-elegant grounds were a tangled jungle; 25 of the 28 rooms were unused; in the dining room, they found a three-foot mountain of empty cans; in the upstairs bedrooms, it was said they saw human waste; and the fleas were so thick that the filmmakers wore flea collars around their ankles during the filming. After the publicity, Jacqueline Kennedy and Aristotle Onassis donated $32,000 to clean the house, install a new furnace and plumbing system, and cart away 1,000 bags of garbage. Beale did not have the funds for trash removal and house repairs. Beale's sons agreed to pay the back taxes on the property, which they had hoped for decades their mother would sell. After the stressful raids by county officials, Beale never left her home again in fear that she would lose permanent legal access to her house.
In 1973, the Maysles Brothers accompanied Lee Radziwill on a visit to the Edies, and David Maysles decided that the women would make better subjects for a film than the ex-First Lady's childhood friends. Maysles and Susan Froemke quickly edited the footage of the women and showed it to Radziwill, who balked and ultimately confiscated the film. The Maysleses returned, however, and the focus of their documentary was the Edies, instead of Jacqueline Onassis. Beale and her daughter were each paid $5,000 for the documentary, which featured their daily lives, songs and dances included. The film was screened for the two Edies in the upstairs hall of Grey Gardens in 1975. Little Edie declared it "a classic!"
The Grey Gardens documentary was met with critical acclaim. The film also inspired a Tony-award winning stage musical and a 2009 Emmy-award winning HBO film by the same name, starring Jessica Lange as "Big" Edie and Drew Barrymore as "Little" Edie.
Beale died of pneumonia at Southampton Hospital in Southampton, New York, following a fall at her home. Her body is buried in the Bouvier family plot at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Cemetery in East Hampton.[1]
As she neared her death, Beale reportedly told her daughter that she had left nothing unsaid, as it was "all in the film."[citation needed]

"Edith Bouvier Beale, who faded from high society to re-emerge among the seedy surroundings of a rundown Long Island mansion in the film "Grey Gardens," died Saturday at Southampton (L.I) Hospital at the age of 81.

Ask an Explainer
I teach computers and technology. My STEM class has been learning about flaps, rudders and wings. My 1st graders would like to know what exactly a flap on a wing does.
Flaps change the shape of the wing. By adding a curve to the wing, flaps increase the plane's lift at takeoff. Flaps can also increase drag, which helps the airplane slow down for landing. Flaps, or ailerons, are also how the plane is able to make the "roll" motion, which you can see in this animation.


RIPPLE POWER: Breakdown & Benefits
With its powerful throat hit and minty taste, Power provides packs that punch you find yourself craving! But Power is so much more than meets the eye and, in fact, has an incredible amount of goodness packed into its natural ingredients!
Here at Ripple, we think it's important that our customers know what goes into our devices so they can make an informed choice. So, we thought we'd go into what makes Power so popular!
Power's Peppermint Aroma
Peppermint aroma has been known throughout history to focus energy and improve vitality. In Ancient Rome, Senators used to wear sprigs of mint so that they would be able to keep optimal focus during debates.
Recent scientific research and sociological studies have proven there are clear neurological connections between peppermint aroma and the ability of people to have increased levels of alertness. The University of Cincinnati even found that the addition of peppermint candles in a room of people who were taking tests enabled those examined to improve their concentration.
Whether it's an all-important meeting, or you are just feeling sluggish at the end of a long week, you can be your best and most alert self with the mint aroma in your Power diffuser.
Power's Natural Ginseng Extract
Ginseng has become increasingly attractive for people looking to improve their overall wellbeing, whilst avoiding artificial solutions. In particular, the ability of ginseng to provide people with natural heightening of energy appeals increasingly in a world where more and more is demanded from us in what feels like less and less time. Multiple components within ginseng, such as polysaccharides and oligopeptides, stimulate the production of energy in cells, helping people fight feelings of fatigue.
When 43% of Americans admit that they are too tired to function at work, ginseng (as found in your Power ripple) could be the perfect alternative to that expensive third cup of coffee or sugary energy drink!
Power's Natural Gingko Biloba Extract
Gingko Biloba extract is taken from the green leaves of the Gingko plant. The Gingko tree is fascinating as it is one of the oldest tree species in the world and many of them are over 2500 years old and can grow to be over 130 feet tall. The tree is famous for being known as a "living fossil" due to its ability to be one of the very few organisms to remain largely changed over the millions of years. This perhaps goes some way to explaining why it has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. It was traditionally used to open channels of energy to organ systems like the brain.
Today, improving brain function is the primary purpose for using gingko biloba. It has been shown to be especially effective in maintaining people's strength of mind. Gingko biloba sells so well in the United States because of this remarkable feature. If you are someone who's attention or memory always seems to be slipping, you should think about fighting back with a plant—based solution.
Power – a ripple for mind and body
Whilst the Ripple mission is to help people quit smoking and get them off nicotine, our leveraging of aromatherapy has always been intended to help people pace their day and lives.
As you can see, the ingredients in Power means that it is not just a device that can complement a smoking cessation selection but also a special part of a holistic strategy balancing your overall health and wellness routine.

How To Fix The Garbled Code On Notepad Files?
How To Fix The Garbled Code On Notepad Files
5
(22)
Summary: Usually, we will record some information in a notepad, such as passwords, keys, ideas, notes, etc. But sometimes, when we open it after a while, we find many garbled characters inside. What should we do? This article will show how to fix the garbled code on notepad files.
When working extensively with Plain Text files with the TXT file extension, individuals may encounter documents with garbled text instead of the expected content. This issue often occurs when the corrupted text document is written in a non-Latin alphabet-based foreign language. Still, it can happen with any file if there are inconsistencies in the settings used during the file's saving process.
To solve the garbled code on notepad files, you must first understand the cause of the problem. The primary reason is the wrong document format. Generally, there are several reasons for garbled characters:
Methods to Fix the Garbled Code on Notepad Files
Method 1: Convert the File Extension
First, let's solve the problem caused by the file format disorder. Just change the file extension back to the original format. For example, if your file is originally a word file, you can change its file extension to .doc or .docx. If it is a web page file, change it to .html, etc. Then open these files with the appropriate program.
Method 2: Change the Encoding Option
Mismatched encoding formats for text files can also lead to garbled code. In such case, you need to change the encoding form as follows:
 1. Open the garbled file with Notepad and select Save>Save As.
 2. Choose ANSI or UTF-8 as encoding format and click Save.
Method 3: Change the System Locale
When opening various text documents with Notepad results in gibberish, it's typically a system issue. The problem could be that the encoding used for the file is not compatible with the native character encoding used by the version of Windows you have.
So if the previous method doesn't work, we can change the default system language in Windows.
 1. Search control panel in the search bar and open it.
 2. Click on Change date, time or number formats under Clock and Region.
 3. Select the Administrative tab and click on Change system locale option.
 4. In the next window, choose the language you need from the drop-down menu and click OK.
 5. Close Control Panel and restart your computer to make the changes effective.
Method 4: Use Restore Previous Version
You will also get a Notepad garbled codes issue when a Notepad file gets corrupted. Several common reasons can cause Notepad file corruption or damage, such as file header corruption, improper system shutdown, virus attacks, and incomplete download and compression issues.
Many Windows users enable Windows backup tools such as file history to protect data security and regularly back up their files. If this is the case for you, here are some steps you can take when the above two methods fail:
 1. Go to the location where the Notepad file is stored.
 2. Right-click on the corrupted file and select Previous Version from the context menu.
 3. Choose the correct previous version and click on Restore.
 4. Now, open the Notepad file to see if the problem is fixed.
Method 5: Use Microsoft Word to Repair Notepad Files
 1. Open the Word app, then click File and select Options.
 2. Shift to the Advanced tab and navigate to the General section.
 3. Check Confirm file format conversion on open and click OK to save changes.
 4. Click File and select Open.
 5. When the Open window appears, hit the Browse button.
 6. Choose All Files and select Recover Text from Any File (*.*).
 7. Select the corrupted notepad file from the list and click Open.
 8. Now, you can check whether this method helps to repair the text file.
Method 6: Open Notepad Files in the Browser
The simplest and most effective way to view the original file is by opening it with a web browser. Web browsers are designed to translate data between encoding schemes. You can use either Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome to open the text file, and it will display the language correctly.
Conclusion
The garbled code of the Notepad file is not a big problem. When you encounter garbled code on Notepad files, the six recommended methods in this article should solve the problem in no time. If you have any other valuable methods or suggestions, welcome to leave a comment below.

Advantages of Wildlife Trade in India
benefits of sustainable and legal wildlife trade
Legal Wildlife trade is any sale or exchange of wild animal as well as plant resources by people legally. Wildlife trade is a major problem area between biodiversity conservation as well as human development. A huge proportion of our trade, economy as well as way of life is completely dependent upon wildlife products, whether for medicine, food, construction or culture.
The wildlife crime and illegal trade usually conceals the legal and sustainable trade in wildlife products. It plays an undoubtedly elementary role in regional, national, and international economies. It involves many different fauna and flora species. And also provides a livelihood for millions of producers, raw materials for businesses and local collectors. Additionally it also provides goods for hundreds of millions of consumers.
The advantages of responsible, sustainable and legal wildlife trade are mostly going unnoticed. Because of which, there has been comparatively little attention or investment to ensure that wildlife trade is managed in ways that maintain healthy ecosystems and populations of target species.
Benefits of Sustainable and Legal Wildlife Trade
Above all, massive rise in awareness, political will and action is required to ensure the future of species and products.
Sustainable Fisheries:
Because of consumer demand for their fins, meat, skin, and liver oil, there has been a massive global concern for shark and ray populations under pressure.
Previously, almost all fisheries have taken place in the absence of even the most basic forms of management. In 2014, the IUCN Shark Specialist Group assessed the conservation status of over 100 shark and ray species. Discovering that there is a huge lack of data on sharks and rays at large, they started the assessment. Additionally, a quarter are on verge of extinction, and over-fishing and habitat loss are the biggest threats to their survival.

Undoubtedly that current level of catch and consumption of sharks poses a threat to survival of many species.
The past 20 years has seen rising recognition of the need to manage sharks and rays. Which means provisions should be made for trade-related management controls. Such as CITES to be put in place for a range of vulnerable species.
Conserving Sharks Through Sustainable Trade
Large responsibility should be taken by stakeholders to establish the source of the products they are carrying and selling. Moreover, such rising awareness and strong action would represent a precious start on the road to sustainability. But, without greater political will from some major fishing nations that have a past history of blocking action to manage shark and ray fisheries at sustainable levels, all the good work by other governments will erode and depletion of these resources will continue. It is important, therefore, that commitment is made in binding measures by governments and regional organizations responsible for managing fisheries.
Instead of pursuing highly debatable and almost insuperable complicated policies such as shark fin bans, establishing and enforcing traceability systems and responsibly managed fisheries should be the focus. Above all, the greatest challenge lies with the consumer, in ensuring that any shark products are from sustainable sources.
The governments and stakeholders should check throughout supply chains. Additionally should ensure that this information is readily available, standards are scientifically set, and that regulations are properly enforced.
Wild plants are commonly wildlife trade's most unnoticed thing. The world has incredibly diverse array of wild plant ingredients, used in food, drink, pharmaceuticals, traditional medicine, beauty, cosmetics and beyond.
Ethical, Legal and Sustainable Trade in Wild Plants
Moreover, their collection, processing and trade supports millions of collectors. Usually from some of the most poverty-stricken or distressed communities in the world, and underpins a global industry worth hundreds of billions of US dollars. Although this "hidden harvest" receives little attention from the public, and is usually met with enthusiasm from an increasingly "organically-minded" consumer market, it is a wildlife trade that urgently require increased attention, research and private sector commitments.
Sustainable, legal, and ethical wild plant harvesting can provide an alternative source of income to poor or distressed communities, providing both a livelihood as well as an incentive to conserve natural landscapes.
There are many of communities over the world who have been harvesting plants from the wild for generations. Above all, by supporting these activities we can protect invaluable traditional knowledge. Additionally, we can engage local stakeholders in contributing to wider wildlife conservation.
There are scores of examples where sustainable management of wild plants provides an incentive to simultaneously maintain the habitat of other wildlife species and wider ecosystems.

The combustion chamber of the engine was manufactured using the technology of layer-by-layer powder synthesis. It involves applying a powder alloy using a special 3D-printer with subsequent laser treatment. The tests were carried out in a wind tunnel for 20 days, which is a kind of record and is associated with the special operating conditions of the unique engine.
The tests in Langley confirmed the calculations of Orbital specialists regarding the design of the combustion chamber manufactured using 3D printing. Vice President and general manager of the company Pat Nolan said with optimism:
"This successful test motivates our engineers to create new systems, to use innovations to reduce costs and improve production efficiency."

The northeastern Iroquois weave many types of basketry including masks. Some masks are twined from corn husks but the majority use a braid foundation coiled and stitched together. The masks made of corn husks, also called bushy-heads or husk faces, are sometimes associated with the Husk Face Society. These masks usually embody, or are inhabited by spirits associated with the corn harvest or with growing grains.
The masks are often woven by women, but are worn only by men during curing ceremonies. During ceremonies or dances, tobacco bags are often sacrificed or tobacco is burned for the husk faces. Corn husk masks frequently appear in conjunction with the wooden False Face masks. Husk face dancers do not carry a rattle or staff like the False Faces, but they do dance with a mush stirring paddle or digging stick, with which they can beat out a rhythm. Corn husk mask dancers can deliver messages about the harvest, or prepare the people for the 'grandfathers' the False Faces.
Different sized corn husk masks are made for different reasons. The full sized masks are worn by dancers during rites of the Midwinter Ceremony in January, and also for the Green Corn Ceremonies in the spring. The full sized masks can be made to represent male or female spirits, the female often having corn husk and tobacco bags or 'medicine drops' hanging from the nose, cheeks or lips. Some masks have braided noses, while others use a stuffed nose. Some masks have puffed cheeks or protruding and drooping features, denoting great age. Slightly smaller, medium sized masks are used for calling spirits and asking them for favors.
Miniature corn husk masks are used to pacify spirits tormenting a person's dreams or visions. Dreams of this sort are generally associated with the Mask Image Spirits. The person who has the dream of the spirit borrows or makes a small corn husk mask in the form of the spirit and gives it a feast including sacrifices of tobacco. After the festivities this mask is put away and kept to deter any further imposition by the spirit.
Miniature masks are also used in the formal Dream Guessing Rite. This rite occurs during the Midwinter Ceremonies and is performed by the chief and his company for a person tormented by recurring dreams of evil or trouble. The content of the dream would have to be 'guessed' with the afflicted answering only yes or no to questions about the dream. The person who guesses the dream correctly then makes a small mask and gives it, along with wishes of good fortune, to the dreamer. As the mask is the 'medicine' it is kept at home to prevent recurrence of the dreams.
Unfortunately today, Cornhusk masks are often provided less religious veneration than their wooden relatives the False Faces, yet they are both still used in sacred curing rites and in the Husk Face Society dances. Presently some corn husk masks are made without ritual blessing for museums and tourists, but all these masks deserve respect as a religious object in their cultural context.

This is a theoretical comparison between the costs involved in operating a diesel, electric or gas/petrol counter balanced forklift truck over a period of say 5 years. The comparison gives the cost for an activity cycle per forklift truck.
What is meant with activity cycle is a task for instance to pick up a load and transport it say 25 meters, place the load in a rack (2.5 meters high) and travel back to fetch another load. The cost comparison model has been so designed to calculate the cost involved in the performance of any combinations of activities to form an activity cycle.
This is a theoretical cost model and no environmental aspects are taken into account.
|THE COST COMPARISON MODEL|
The model is divided into the following sub sections.
These are the performance of the particular make and type of forklift trucks in use e.g. max travel speed, lifting speed, etc.
No detail is given here of the further stages of the model - it covers inter-alia the following:
This is the work cycle the forklift is doing. As mentioned in the introduction, each activity cycle is a combination of individual activities. For each activity you must give information such as distance to be travelled, percentage of max speed, etc.
These are the items such as the motor sizes driving the battery operated truck, fuel consumption and tank sizes. These variables are used to determine the power needed to perform each activity cycle.
This is where the fixed cost for the equipment is calculated. The model assumes the equipment would be financed by a 5 year period loan and that the equipment has a residual value at the end of the 5 years. The loan period can be adapted. Tax aspects are ignored but can be added to the model if required.
This is all the operating costs such as: fuel, tyres, maintenance and labour.
All costs are added to obtain a cost per activity cycle as performed in a 5 year period, with other words what that particular activity costs the user during the "life" of the forklift truck in present value rand terms per forklift truck and for the required fleet size.
|SOME COMPARISON RESULTS|
The model has been used for the three different activity cycles. For all three activity cycles the same performance and cost variables have been used, only the activities have been changed.
Activity cycle one: Is for small movements and lifting. Like order picking and truck loading type of activities where the forklift truck does not need to travel over long distances, but is doing a lot of load handling.
Activity cycle two: Is more medium travelling distances and moving. The type of activity were a pallet is moved from the palletisation area to for instance a cold store and placed in a rack.
Activity cycle three: Is for moving of loads over longer distances. Typical operations would be moving loads between warehouses or cold stores where trailer transfer is possibly called for.
It should be noted that this is just an example of what the model can do. End results are very much dependent on the variables entered into the model.
The time taken to complete an activity cycle therefore is very much dependent on the performance parameters of each forklift.
|Interesting to note that the running cost for activity cycle one does not differ very much between the forklifts.|
|Both the LP Gas and Electric forklift trucks do much better in smaller activities such as in activity cycle 1.|
Because the model can accept virtually any forklift task and operation cycle, it is an ideal program to use in order to determine the relative cost of the activity cycle when using each forklift propulsion type - even, within limits, different forklift makes, or more importantly when using larger or smaller capacity forklift trucks to do the same task.

An analysis of the commuting and housing expenses of the working poor finds that compared with other workers:
- The working poor spend a much higher portion of their income on commuting. The cost burden of commuting for the working poor is 6.1 percent compared with 3.8 percent for other workers. The working poor who drive to work spend the most: 8.4 percent.
- The combined costs of commuting and housing make up a larger portion of the household budgets of the working poor than other households. For working-poor homeowners, nearly 25 percent of their household income is consumed by housing and commuting expenses compared with just 15.3 percent for other households. For those who rent, the disparities between the working poor (32.4 percent) and other households (19.7 percent) are even greater.
- The cost burden of commuting for the working poor is greater than the national median in eight of the 12 largest metropolitan areas. Six of these—Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.—also have a higher cost burden of housing than the national median for the working poor.
Transportation is necessary to nearly every aspect of daily life. It enhances both physical and economic mobility and is a key factor in workers' ability to find and retain employment. This survey offers a better understanding of transportation and its costs by focusing on one of its components, commuting.

Azure Canonical Application Architecture
Azure Canonical Application Architecture
 - Comments 2
While working with a customer last week at our Microsoft Executive Briefing Center (Microsoft EBC), one of the things we need to do was find a simple way to whiteboard the architecture. We walked through a lot of variations of application patterns, but the customer ultimately wanted to see one code base running on Azure that could support multiple clients (such as desktop, phone, browser, etc.) We found a model that was pretty straightforward and allowed us to easily map the customer's scenario onto the Azure platform.
Once we had a model, it was a lot easier to drill down on things such as why SQL Azure vs. Azure Storage or how to flow claims or how to partition the database. It's like a backdrop that you can overlay or drill down on security, performance, manageability, etc. It helped us quickly explore paths without getting into weeds and keeping the big picture in mind. It also helped us figure out where target some of the key architectural spikes.
Here are some of the models we walked through on the whiteboard:

 - Hi,
 Just wondering - how do you deal with the fact that Azure Queues do not guarantee message to be delivered only once?
 - @ Rinat -- Good question. Here are some strategies from the Windows Azure Guidance at msdn.microsoft.com/.../ff803372.aspx:
 If your message processing method is not idempotent, there are several strategies that you can adopt to stop the message recipient processing a message multiple times:
 * When you read a message from a queue, you can use the visibilitytimeout parameter to set how long the messages should be hidden from other readers (the default value is 30 seconds). This gives you time to make sure that you can process and delete the message from the queue before another client reads it. Getting a message from a queue does not automatically delete it from the queue. It is still possible for the visibilitytimeout period to expire before you delete the message, for example, if the method processing the message fails.
 * Each message has a DequeueCount property that records how many times the message has been retrieved from the queue. However, if you rely on this property, and only process messages that have a DequeueCount value of 0, your application must guard against the possibility that a message has been dequeued but not processed.
 * You could also add a unique transaction identifier to the message and then save the identifier in the blob's metadata properties. If, when you retrieve a message from a queue, the unique identifier in the message matches the unique identifier in the blob's metadata, you know that the message has already been processed once.

In popular usage, the leg extends from the top of the thigh down to the foot. However, in medical terminology, the leg refers to the portion of the lower extremity from the knee to the ankle.
The leg has two bones: the tibia and the fibula. Both are known as long bones. The larger of the two is the tibia, familiarly called the shinbone. "Tibia" is a Latin word meaning both shinbone and flute. It is thought that "tibia" refers to both the bone and the musical instrument because flutes were once fashioned from the tibia (of animals).
A wide range of conditions may affect the legs such as restless leg syndrome, edema, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), shins splints, claudication, spider veins and more.
