The South Shore East Trail has another hurdle to clear.
The trail has been partially funded through a grant obtained by the village. The grant, however, requires the trail connect the village to Lion's Community Park, which means a pedestrian bridge has to be built over a feeder creek between the village and the park.
A couple of months ago, village officials came to the conclusion it would be more cost effective to connect the village with Lion's Community Park by using an existing stone archway over a narrower part of the creek. Using the existing bridge would also reduce the chances of damaging wetlands along the river.
The village hired QPK to assess the soundness of the bridge. According to Baldwinsville Highway Superintendent Claude Sykes, QPK determined the stone arch was not worth saving or reconstructing. Instead, QPK plans to span the bridge with another bridge and use piles for support. Sykes also said the trail would require construction of another bridge over a washed out area in the right of way.
Trustee Joe Saraceni confirmed saying, "There is a section of 70 feet that is missing."
The village still needs permission from National Grid to use the right of way. The estimated cost for both bridges was $120,000.
Other Boards in brief
Students may design village property
The village may have the opportunity to utilize 24 interior design students to design a plan for the old Harrington Firehouse and surrounding area.
According to Trustee Joe Saraceni, Peter Crissey of Crissey Architectural Group teaches a course at Syracuse University at the School of Interior Design. Crissey offered to have each student create a plan as part of a class project. The project would be free of cost for the village and would provide 24 different concepts of the area.
If the village decides to take the offer, Saraceni said Crissey's class next semester would tackle the project with results sometime in late January.
Planning board vacancy filled
Robin Augello was appointed by Mayor Dan O'Hara to fill a Baldwinsville planning board vacancy. Augello also serves as a member of the Architectural Review Board for the village.

The clearest day of the month is December 1, with clear, mostly clear, or partly cloudy conditions 61% of the time.
For reference, on July 7, the cloudiest day of the year, the chance of overcast or mostly cloudy conditions is 67%, while on May 1, the clearest day of the year, the chance of clear, mostly clear, or partly cloudy skies is 65%.
Cloud Cover in December
The percentage of time spent in each cloud cover band, categorized by the percentage of the sky covered by clouds: clear < 20% < mostly clear < 40% < partly cloudy < 60% < mostly cloudy < 80% < overcast.
Precipitation
A wet day is one with at least 0.04 inches of liquid or liquid-equivalent precipitation. In Orlando, the chance of a wet day over the course of December is essentially constant, remaining around 18% throughout.
For reference, the year's highest daily chance of a wet day is 68% on August 8, and its lowest chance is 15% on November 21.
Probability of Precipitation in December
The percentage of days in which various types of precipitation are observed, excluding trace quantities: rain alone, snow alone, and mixed (both rain and snow fell in the same day).
Rainfall
To show variation within the month and not just the monthly total, we show the rainfall accumulated over a sliding 31-day period centered around each day.
The average sliding 31-day rainfall during December in Orlando is essentially constant, remaining about 1.9 inches throughout, and rarely exceeding 4.9 inches or falling below 0.2 inches.
Average Monthly Rainfall in December
The average rainfall (solid line) accumulated over the course of a sliding 31-day period centered on the day in question, with 25th to 75th and 10th to 90th percentile bands. The thin dotted line is the corresponding average liquid-equivalent snowfall.
Sun
Over the course of December in Orlando, the length of the day is essentially constant. The shortest day of the month is December 21, with 10 hours, 20 minutes of daylight and the longest day is December 1, with 10 hours, 27 minutes of daylight.
Hours of Daylight and Twilight in December
The number of hours during which the Sun is visible (black line). From bottom (most yellow) to top (most gray), the color bands indicate: full daylight, twilight (civil, nautical, and astronomical), and full night.
The earliest sunrise of the month in Orlando is 7:00 AM on December 1 and the latest sunrise is 17 minutes later at 7:17 AM on December 31.
The earliest sunset is 5:28 PM on December 1 and the latest sunset is 11 minutes later at 5:39 PM on December 31.
Daylight saving time is observed in Orlando during 2017, but it neither starts nor ends during December, so the entire month is in standard time.
For reference, on June 21, the longest day of the year, the Sun rises at 6:28 AM and sets 13 hours, 58 minutes later, at 8:26 PM, while on December 21, the shortest day of the year, it rises at 7:13 AM and sets 10 hours, 20 minutes later, at 5:33 PM.
Sunrise & Sunset with Twilight and Daylight Saving Time in December
The solar day over the course of December. From bottom to top, the black lines are the previous solar midnight, sunrise, solar noon, sunset, and the next solar midnight. The day, twilights (civil, nautical, and astronomical), and night are indicated by the color bands from yellow to gray.
Humidity
We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.
The chance that a given day will be muggy in Orlando is rapidly decreasing during December, falling from 24% to 13% over the course of the month.
For reference, on July 21, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 100% of the time, while on January 30, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 7% of the time.

AROUND THE WORLD
AROUND THE WORLD; Liechtenstein Women Win Right to Vote
Published: July 2, 1984
VADUZ, Liechtenstein, July 1— In a referendum today, the men of this constitutional monarchy narrowly granted women the right to vote.
With about 85 percent of the electorate voting, 2,370 men, or 51.3 percent, voted in favor of womens' suffrage, with 2,251, or 48.7 percent, voting against.
The vote ended majority opposition that in referendums in 1971 and 1973 blocked women from getting the right to vote. It was a victory for Prince Hans Adam, the de facto ruler of the principality, which is the size of Washington, D.C., and has a population of 26,000.
Prince Adam has been in charge of the country since his father, Franz Josef II, 77 years old, Europe's longestreigning ruler, relinquished his responsibilities but not his title to the throne earlier this year.

Publisher: Novello & Co
Three Motion Settings (2005),
1. In the Attic
2. To Whom it May Concern
3. What Language to Speak
Novello & Co Ltd
Solo Voice(s) and up to 6 players
This cycle sets three poems written by Andrew Motion at three distinct stages of his career. Motion (b. 1952), currently Poet Laureate, cites 'In the Attic' as "the first one I'd ever done which felt anywhere near right". The subject matter of the text, composed when he was 20 years old, is a theme that Motion has returned to throughout his creative output: the ten years his mother spent in a coma and her subsequent death. 'To Whom it May Concern' represents a sardonic outlook on the state of contemporary poetry, while 'What Language to Speak' sets two meditative sentences from the extended poem, 'Lines of Desire'.
The settings are simple, largely modal and influenced by the sonorities achieved in Samuel Barber's works for piano. There is an air of slow recitative in the outer numbers, which aims to create the sense of melancholic recollection prevalent in the text.

Nellie, there are many walk-in medical clinics opening up at stores, and there's nothing wrong with getting medical care for your children at these clinics. The most important thing is to get medical care for your children when they need it. And convenience is certainly an important factor.
However, some important aspects of medical care at these walk-in clinics should be considered:
- The quality of care is uncertain: The doctor may not have as much expertise in the care of young children as your children's regular doctor. Also, good quality care is based on a trusting relationship and good communication with your doctor, which develops over time.
- They don't have your child's full medical history: When you take your children to a walk-in clinic, they don't have all the information about your child's development, medical conditions, immunizations and screening tests. Sometimes this is crucial in making a proper diagnosis and prescoting the best treatment.
- The focus is generally on treatment rather than prevention: People use these medical clinics when they have an urgent problem, such as an ear infection. However, much of good health care for children focuses on prevention, such as making sure your child's immunizations are current and discussing development, nutrition and injury prevention. This may not be done at the urgent care clinics.
- If lab tests are done, follow-up may not be as reliable: The walk-in clinic may just do tests for the purpose of treating your child at that visit. But follow-up may be necessary. Be sure to get a copy of the record from your visit, including the test results, diagnosis and treatment, and forward this to your child's regular doctor.
Overall, the best medical care for children is provided through a "medical home," a consistent healthcare provider that you take your children to over time. If you're unhappy with the inconvenience or unresponsiveness of your children's current doctor, consider checking out other medical practices to find one that is more convenient and responsive.
Our parenting advice is given as suggestions only. We recommend you also consult your healthcare provider, and urge you to contact them immediately if your question is urgent or about a medical condition.

Fermi-LAT Designer Awarded 2012 Panofsky Prize
William Atwood, a leading member of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope collaboration, will receive the 2012 W. K. H. Panofsky Prize in Experimental Particle Physics from the American Physical Society for his work as co-designer of the Large Area Telescope, the main instrument on Fermi, and for using the LAT to investigate the universe in gamma rays.
"Nobody was more surprised than myself" upon learning of the award, Atwood said. Now with the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics, Atwood was a long-time SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory particle physicist who maintains his lab ties through the Fermi collaboration. "I'd just finished my SLAC cyber-security refresher course when I got this email," he continued. "I thought, 'Oh, jeez, this is just spam.'" But once Atwood confirmed the email's contents, he said, he was "blown away."
In 1970, as a graduate student from Caltech, Atwood joined the team at SLAC that scattered high-energy electrons off protons and neutrons and discovered they were made of something even smaller – quarks. SLAC physicist Richard Taylor, principal investigator, was awarded the 1990 Nobel Prize in Physics for this work. It was obvious in 1970 that Atwood "had tremendous potential," Taylor said, adding that he "was a remarkable physicist, even then."
Stanford physicist Peter Michelson, Atwood's partner in developing the LAT, was not surprised at Atwood's win. "To capture his contributions in a single quote... I'm struggling," Michelson said. "Bill's deep understanding of particle physics led to the original design of the LAT, and what's flying is essentially that design, which he came up with literally overnight."
Atwood also adapted the design for use in space and has done substantial scientific work with the LAT, such as contributing "a very efficient algorithm for blind searches for gamma-ray pulsars," Michelson added.
SLAC managed the development of the LAT, assembled it from parts made at laboratories around the world, and now runs a center that processes LAT data and makes it available to researchers.
Astrophysics and particle physics may seem strange bedfellows, but Atwood has no trouble explaining how a telescope designer could win an award named after the founding director of a linear accelerator, or how a particle physicist could be enticed to work on a satellite.
"Almost all light comes from something hot," he said. In astronomical observing terms, visible light comes from the nuclear fires of the stars. Infrared light comes from hot dust and gas. But gamma rays are an exception to this rule. "Stuff can't get hot enough" to produce photons of light in the gamma-ray range, with energies measured in the millions and billions of electron volts, Atwood said. What that means is that gamma rays show us the "non-thermal universe" – in other words, the part of the sky that heat cannot reveal.
Only extreme conditions can generate gamma rays, Atwood said – "black holes and neutron stars, pulsars. The gamma-ray sky is full of these exotic objects." And these exotic objects provide the extreme conditions necessary to accelerate particles to high energy.
At first, Atwood said, both the particle physics and the astrophysics communities were skeptical that this telescope was the proper instrument to conduct particle physics research or gamma ray astronomy.
"In the end, a good idea is a good idea and people came around," he said. In fact, "this instrument would not have been possible without the active participation of both communities."

What Makes Tylenol PM Different Than Tylenol?
Regular Tylenol contains the active ingredient acetaminophen. Tylenol PM contains the added ingredient diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that can relieve allergies and cause sleepiness.
What Does Snorting Tylenol PM Do?
Snorting drugs, also known as insufflation, is a common sign of drug misuse. While often done to feel the effects of a drug more quickly, this can also lead to potentially serious side effects.
Side effects of snorting Tylenol PM can include:
 - irritated or runny nose
 - nosebleeds
 - intense drowsiness
 - dizziness
 - upset stomach
 - blurred vision
 - dry mouth
 - dry nose
Snorting a lot of Tylenol PM, or crushing it and mixing it with other drugs, can lead to additional side effects, including changes in mood, behavior, and vital signs.
Why Do People Snort Tylenol PM?
Snorting over-the-counter drugs like Tylenol PM is uncommon. This is typically a sign of drug abuse or addiction.
People may snort Tylenol PM to:
 - get high
 - get rapid pain relief
 - fall asleep
 - stave off withdrawal symptoms
Tylenol PM is sometimes crushed and mixed with heroin. This has been referred to as "cheese" heroin. It is tannish or brown in color.

Manuscript Preparation, Copyediting, and Proofreading
Q. If a book contains only one table, is it necessary to number it?
A. No. In that case, a number would serve no purpose. Even with many tables, numbers are not always needed. Assign numbers if the author uses them to refer to the tables elsewhere in the text, or if you think readers would find them helpful for citing—for instance, in digital publications without page numbers.


Octopus Deploy Documentation
Coordinating multiple projects
Last updated
When working with multiple related projects, it is often necessary to co-ordinate between them and take some action that depends on their combined status. For example, ensure a related project is deployed first or send an email when all projects are deployed. This section discusses some approaches to this problem and provides some examples showing how to query and control projects programatically.
For in depth code samples covering many of the processes discussed in this section, see the Project Coordination Code Samples page
Responding to events across multiple projects
There are various ways to respond to events within Octopus, which is useful for:
 - Sending an email after a set of projects is deployed.
 - Generating a report of the day's deployments.
 - Promoting all projects from one environment to another at a certain time.
 - Triggering another process, for example, another deployment.
 - Verifying that some conditions have been met.
The simplest trigger is a periodic timer setup through a Windows schedules task, Azure Function, or as a windows service. Alternatively, it can also be a project within Octopus as a project that re-queues itself when run (see the samples).
Subscriptions can call a web service or send an email when Octopus events occur.
The event can also be a script step in a project. If the script is defined as a step template it can be shared among the related projects. However, it is difficult to ensure that two copies of the script do not run at the same time.
Orchestrating the deployment of multiple projects
Below are two different approaches to orchestrating multiple projects. Depending on the projects and requirements, one or a combination of these two approaches may be used. This orchestration is useful for when:
 - A set of projects should always be deployed together or in a specific order.
 - A project depends on a certain version of another project.
 - A project should not be deployed while another project is being deployed.
 - A certain step should not execute at the same time as a step in another project.
Parent project
This approach consists of creating a project that co-ordinates the deployment of other projects and any other related actions. For example it could define steps that:
 1. Deploy and wait for projects A and B.
 2. Send an email informing users Project A and B have been deployed.
 3. Deploy project C.
 4. If the deployment of project C fails, redeploy an older version of A and B.
Cooperating projects
This approach consists of each project taking on the role of checking that the other projects are in the right state so that it can deploy itself. It is usually implemented as one or more script steps. For example the project could:
 - Trigger a deployment of Project A if it has not been deployed to the environment.
 - If Project B is running, wait for it to reach step 3.
Deploy release step
The Deploy Release step is helpful when implementing the Parent Project or Cooperating Projects approaches described above. It makes it simple to deploy a release of a project from another project.

Initial and boundary conditions in multidimensional wave digital filter algorithms for plate vibration
UNSPECIFIED. (2004) Initial and boundary conditions in multidimensional wave digital filter algorithms for plate vibration. IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS I-REGULAR PAPERS, 51 (8). pp. _PHONE_. ISSN 1057-7122Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: _URL_
Recently, multidimensional wave digital filter (MDWDF) structures have been proposed for the modeling of plate vibration problems. In this paper, we discuss how initial and boundary conditions may be properly embedded into such an algorithm in terms of the state quantities that are an integral part of the algorithm. Due to the essential feature of fully-local interconnectivity in the MDWDF model, different types of boundary conditions can be easily satisfied in a very simple and efficient manner. Instead of remodifying the whole algorithm, usually required by finite elements based methods, boundary conditions in terms of state outputs are simply attached to the model. This feature is especially useful when dealing with the mixed-edges boundary conditions frequently encountered in practice. Graphical results obtained from implementing the MDWDF algorithm are given to further demonstrate the capacities of the method in efficiently handling a fourth-order Mindlin plate vibration system with various types of boundary conditions.

AbstractThe effects of the maximum void size and aggregate shape and roughness on the flexural strength of high strength mortar were investigated. Substantial reductions in the maximum void size and air content of quartz aggregate mortars resulted in flexural strength increases. These increases in flexural strength were somewhat lower than predicted by Griffith's theory, thus suggesting that the maximum void size did not act as the critical flaw controlling the flexural strength. Factors relating to the cement-aggregate bond, including aggregate shape and roughness, appeared to affect the flexural strength more than the maximum void size.

- A series of Ni-Co alloy nanocones arrays were fabricated by means of electrodeposition method without using any template. The alloy nanocones crystallized in the face-centered cubic lattice structure and grew preferentially along <110> directions. The aspect ratio of the alloy cones was found to increase with increasing cobalt content. The chemical potential difference of the solid-liquid interface and the synergistic effect of twinning were proposed to explain this phenomenon. By adjusting the electrodeposition conditions, the morphology and size of the alloy nanocrystal can be modulated. The crystal modifier plays an important role in controlling the step distance and the morphology of the spiral growth layer. These Ni-Co alloy nanocones arrays are expected to have significant potential applications in the fields of catalysis and magnetic storage. This journal is © the Partner Organisations 2014.

PROJECT GENERAL INFORMATION
Name: Mehrshahr Villa
Location: Mehrshahr, Alborz province, Iran
Architect in Charge: Hooman Balazadeh
Land Area: 4000 sqm
Built Area: 330 sqm
Project Manager: Mohsen Kazemian-Fard
Phase II: Dariush Ghorbani
Structural Consultant: Aptus Iran Company
Mechanical & Electrical Consultant: Mr. Etemadi
Supervisor: Aptus Iran Co.
Presentation: Parima Jahangard, Atousa Shiran, Pooyeh Nouryan
The Initial idea of this project was to design a 330 m2 villa in a 3 hectares private yard facing a lake. One of the main criteria was to create spaces that are closely engaged with the surrounding landscape, an uninterrupted connection between the interior and the exterior to form a structure which becomes a part of the site itself:
- A. A systematic organization of open and semi-open spaces was used to enhance the presence of nature in the interior spaces. The main semi-open space is a void on the first floor of the main cubical form. The strategic position of this void provides both physical connection to the private lounge and the master bedroom as well as visual connection to the lake. The semi-open space is also connected to the terrace on the lake side by the means of a bridge. This terrace is a perfect view point of the lake.
- B. The stones used on the façade are in harmony with the existing stones in the garden. These stones are used in their natural form but in a controlled horizontal pattern. The voids in the stone pattern provide a controlled overlook and a limited sunlight penetration to spaces such as washrooms and corridors which require less exterior exposure. Integration of the voids and solids not only creates a consistent exterior façade, but also provides the interior spaces with a view to the greenery. At nights these voids provide a lighter feeling of the solid exterior façade. These voids are also used to naturally ventilate the building as well as to implement the mechanical equipment.
- C. The existing trees between the open and semi open spaces were kept so that both spaces are surrounded by vegetation. The variation of sunlight penetration through the leafs during the day significantly enhances the quality of the atmosphere.
One of the main criteria in the design process was to maximize the amount of sunlight exposure. Two sets of skylights were implemented, one over the main staircase and the other at the vertical gap between the two roofs. Moreover, transparent dividers implemented parallel to the vertical skylight increase sunlight penetration to spaces not directly connected to the skylight. The main function of the horizontal skylight over the main staircase was to provide natural winter heating. This skylight could be shaded in summer to prevent excess sunlight exposure. In section, these systems enable sunlight penetration in three directions: vertical, horizontal, as well as diagonal.


On the 1st November 1965, during high winds, three out of a group of eight cooling towers at Ferrybridge 'C' Power Station collapsed, with the remaining towers sustaining severe structural damage. The towers, each 375 feet high, had been constructed closer together than was usual and had greater shell diameters and shell surface area then any previous towers. The design and construction contract for the towers had been given to Film Cooling Towers (concrete) Ltd. in 1962.
High winds were considered to be the trigger for the collapse, but an inquiry found the exact cause to be an amalgamation of several other factors in their design:
 - British Standard wind speeds had not been used in the design resulting in the design wind pressures at the top of the tower being 19% lower than it should have been.
 - Basic wind speed was interpreted and used as the average over a one minute period, whereas, in reality, the structures are susceptible to much shorter gusts.
 - The wind loading had been based on experiments using a single isolated tower. The grouping of the towers created turbulence on the leeward ones – the ones that did actually collapse.
 - Safety margins had not really covered any uncertainties in the wind loadings.
There had been, it was decided, a serious underestimation of the wind loading in the initial design.
Fortunately, no one was killed or injured in the accident.

of the eight cooling towers were
completely destroyed.
The vibrations of slender structures are caused by cross-wind loads known as the phenomenon vortex shedding. Specific critical wind speeds around an object can create under and over pressures that makes it move (vibrate) in cross-wind direction. These forces can make bridges swing , and chimneys or similar slender and light structures oscillate. Oscillation occur when the damping is small and the natural resonance frequency is close to the vortex shedding frequency.

 I want to use the images in my book on Design of RC structures.Can you give permission or give me the source?
 3. Tony says:
 This is a good explanation of the collapse. I analysed the structures post collapse, and concluded that a single tower without the complexities of adjacent towers would have reinforcement stresses exceeding yield at a wind speed of approximately 68 mph. On the day of the collapse, the station anemometer was indicating gusts of 72 mph.
 I designed the strengthening works for the remaining 5 towers, and supervised the rehabilitation project.
 4. Fred Griffiths says:
 The cooling towers did not blow down 1st nov 1965. i started work there april 1966 and the towers were still intact.I dont know the exact date but i think i was either 1966 0r 1967.

clients, clients SHOULD use the following algorithm to calculate a disambiguated display name for a given user:
 1. Inspect the m.room.member state event for the relevant user id.
 2. If the m.room.member state event has no displayname field, or if that field has a null value, use the raw user id as the display name. Otherwise:
 3. If the m.room.member event has a displayname which is unique among members of the room with membership: join or membership: invite, use the given displayname as the user-visible display name. Otherwise:
 4. The m.room.member event has a non-unique displayname. This should be disambiguated using the user id, for example "display name (@id:homeserver.org)".
Developers should take note of the following when implementing the above algorithm:
 - The user-visible display name of one member can be affected by changes in the state of another member. For example, if @user1:matrix.org is present in a room, with displayname: Alice, then when @user2:example.com joins the room, also with displayname: Alice, both users must be given disambiguated display names. Similarly, when one of the users then changes their display name, there is no longer a clash, and both users can be given their chosen display name. Clients should be alert to this possibility and ensure that all affected users are correctly renamed.
 - The display name of a room may also be affected by changes in the membership list. This is due to the room name sometimes being based on user display names (see Calculating the display name for a room).
 - If the entire membership list is searched for clashing display names, this leads to an O(N^2) implementation for building the list of room members. This will be very inefficient for rooms with large numbers of members. It is recommended that client implementations maintain a hash table mapping from displayname to a list of room members using that name. Such a table can then be used for efficient calculation of whether disambiguation is needed.
13.2.2.4 Displaying membership information with messages
Clients may wish to show the display name and avatar URL of the room member who sent a message. This can be achieved by inspecting the m.room.member state event for that user ID (see Calculating the display name for a user).
When a user paginates the message history, clients may wish to show the historical display name and avatar URL for a room member. This is possible because older m.room.member events are returned when paginating. This can be implemented efficiently by keeping two sets of room state: old and current. As new events arrive and/or the user paginates back in time, these two sets of state diverge from each other. New events update the current state and paginated events update the old state. When paginated events are processed sequentially, the old state represents the state of the room at the time the event was sent. This can then be used to set the historical display name and avatar URL.
13.2.2.5 Calculating the display name for a room
Clients may wish to show a human-readable name for a room. There are a number of possibilities for choosing a useful name. To ensure that rooms are named consistently across clients, clients SHOULD use the following algorithm to choose a name:
 1. If the room has an m.room.name state event with a non-empty name field, use the name given by that field.
 2. If the room has an m.room.canonical_alias state event with a non-empty alias field, use the alias given by that field as the name.
 3. If neither of the above conditions are met, the client can optionally guess an alias from the m.room.alias events in the room. This is a temporary measure while clients do not promote canonical aliases as prominently. This step may be removed in a future version of the specification.
 4. If none of the above conditions are met, a name should be composed based on the members of the room. Clients should consider m.room.member events for users other than the logged-in user, as defined below.
 1. If the number of m.heroes for the room are greater or equal to m.joined_member_count + m.invited_member_count - 1, then use the membership events for the heroes to calculate display names for the users (disambiguating them if required) and concatenating them. For example, the client may choose to show "Alice, Bob, and Charlie (@charlie:example.org)" as the room name. The client may optionally limit the number of users it uses to generate a room name.
 2. If there are fewer heroes than m.joined_member_count + m.invited_member_count - 1, and m.joined_member_count + m.invited_member_count is greater than 1, the client should use the heroes to calculate display names for the users (disambiguating them if required) and concatenating them alongside a count of the remaining users. For example, "Alice, Bob, and 1234 others".
 3. If m.joined_member_count + m.invited_member_count is less than or equal to 1 (indicating the member is alone), the client should use the rules above to indicate that the room was empty. For example, "Empty Room (was Alice)", "Empty Room (was Alice and 1234 others)", or "Empty Room" if there are no heroes.
Clients SHOULD internationalise the room name to the user's language when using the m.heroes to calculate the name. Clients SHOULD use minimum 5 heroes to calculate room names where possible, but may use more or less to fit better with their user experience.
13.2.2.6 Forming relationships between events
In some cases, events may wish to reference other events. This could be to form a thread of messages for the user to follow along with, or to provide more context as to what a particular event is describing. Currently, the only kind of relation defined is a "rich reply" where a user may reference another message to create a thread-like conversation.
Relationships are defined under an m.relates_to key in the event's content. If the event is of the type m.room.encrypted, the m.relates_to key MUST NOT be covered by the encryption and instead be put alongside the encryption information held in the content.
13.2.2.6.1 Rich replies
Users may wish to reference another message when forming their own message, and clients may wish to better embed the referenced message for the user to have a better context for the conversation being had. This sort of embedding another message in a message is known as a "rich reply", or occasionally just a "reply".
A rich reply is formed through use of an m.relates_to relation for m.in_reply_to where a single key, event_id, is used to reference the event being replied to. The referenced event ID SHOULD belong to the same room where the reply is being sent. Clients should be cautious of the event ID belonging to another room, or being invalid entirely. Rich replies can only be constructed in the form of m.room.message events with a msgtype of m.text or m.notice. Due to the fallback requirements, rich replies cannot be constructed for types of m.emote, m.file, etc. Rich replies may reference any other m.room.message event, however. Rich replies may reference another event which also has a rich reply, infinitely.
An m.in_reply_to relationship looks like the following:
{
 ...
 "type": "m.room.message",
 "content": {
 "msgtype": "m.text",
 "body": "",
 "format": "org.matrix.custom.html",
 "formatted_body": "",
 "m.relates_to": {
 "m.in_reply_to": {
 "event_id": "$another:event.com"
 }
 }
 }
}
13.2.2.6.1.1 Fallbacks and event representation
Some clients may not have support for rich replies and therefore need a fallback to use instead. Clients that do not support rich replies should render the event as if rich replies were not special.
Clients that do support rich replies MUST provide the fallback format on replies, and MUST strip the fallback before rendering the reply. Rich replies MUST have a format of org.matrix.custom.html and therefore a formatted_body alongside the body and appropriate msgtype. The specific fallback text is different for each msgtype, however the general format for the body is:
> <@alice:example.org> This is the original body
This is where the reply goes
The formatted_body should use the following template:
<mx-reply>

 <a href="_URL_ reply to
 <a href="_URL_

</mx-reply>
This is where the reply goes.

Siafu, also known as driver ants, army ants, giant ants, or giant ants of the Amazon are giant red ants. They are typically six inches long, with their size and appearance varying as a result of the quantity of fungus they are fed as larvae. Their jaws are strong enough to break human skin, and a swarm was capable of carrying a full-grown human back to their nest. The giants primarily served to retaliate against attackers.
Adventures with siafu Edit
In 1957, while Indiana Jones and his comrades were trying to flee from Soviets led by Irina Spalko in the jungles of South America, the car containing Spalko and her driver crashed into an anthill, home to a large colony of the siafu. Spalko pulled a pistol on Jones and his company, only to notice a rather large ant crawl onto her hand and bite her. She retaliated by squishing it with her bare hand, but then more ants started pouring into the car from underneath, prompting the driver and Spalko to start stomping as many as they could. Seeing the rapidly-deteriorating situation, the two fled, but while Spalko got to safety in a nearby tree, the ants swarmed the driver, and he was pulled down and eaten alive. One ant did climb onto Spalko, but she killed it by squishing it with her knees. However, this affair agitated the ants, and a vast swarm of then began raiding the forest floor. While Jones and the Russian colonel Antonin Dovchenko where having a fistfight, the swarm approached them but Harold Oxley revealed the Crystal Skull of Akator before them, causing the ants to diverge, and create an empty patch for Dovchenko and Jones to fight on. Eventually, Jones got the upper hand by beating the head of Dovchenko with a wooden trunk, causing the dazed colonel to fall backwards, into the antswarm. Subsequently, the ants swarmed him, and he was pulled into their nest and devoured. The ants subsequently dispersed, allowing Jones and his companions to proceed.
Behind the scenesEdit
Siafu are actually native to parts of Africa and Asia, not Brazil, and are oversized in the film. Being an archaeologist and not an entomologist, it's possible that Indy simply identified them incorrectly.
Brazil does have a genre of ants close to the Siafu, from the Atta genus (known locally as "Saúva").

Other entities, such as international, intergovernmental, multilateral and regional organizations may be eligible for funding, provided they are working with local partners and on local projects that are consistent with the objectives of the CFLI. Similarly, municipal, regional and national government institutions may receive funding, provided that their projects are essentially local in nature. The CFLI is always looking to fund innovative projects that deliver measurable results.
All projects must align with at least one of the following CFLI thematic priorities:
- Inclusive governance, including diversity, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
- Growth that works for everyone, including women's economic rights, decent jobs and entrepreneurship, investing in the poorest and most vulnerable, and safeguarding economic gains.
- Gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.
- Human dignity, covering health, education and nutrition.
Within these thematic areas, the High Commission of Canada in South Africa will prioritize projects with a specific focus on one or more of the following:
- Lowering the incidence of gender-based violence.
- Improving access to food, water, and healthcare for vulnerable populations.
- Enabling greater participation in digital and low-carbon economies.
In 2017, Canada adopted its Feminist International Assistance Policy to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls as the most effective way to reduce poverty and build a more inclusive, peaceful and prosperous world. In alignment with this policy, the CFLI project application process now requires a gender-based analysis (GBA). The purpose of this change is to enhance the gender equality outcomes of the CFLI program.
A GBA will require applicants to:
- consider how women, girls, men, and boys are affected differently by the problem their project is aiming to address, ensuring, at the same time, that the project does not cause harm
- consult women and/or girls in the development of their project proposal
- ensure that the views of those women and/or girls inform the project's design
Note that consultations can include, but are not limited to, speaking to women and girls from the local community, women and other individuals who work for civil society organizations that have worked in the local community and female and male decision and change makers who have knowledge of the local community.
Inadequate completion of a GBA may affect the consideration of your proposal.
The following project costs are eligible for CFLI funding:
- accounting costs
- administrative and overhead costs related to the project (overhead should not exceed 15% of total CFLI contribution)
- advocacy and lobbying related costs
- capital and/or operating expenditures related to the lease and/or purchase and/or building of infrastructure
- civic education costs
- conference and event expenditures
- costs of services received by recipients
- domestic travel expenses, using lowest fares possible but not exceeding full fare economy class
- environmental assessment costs
- facilities charges,
- equipment rental, and/or purchase (only when the purchase is required to meet project objectives, reflects good value for money, and the recipient has a strong care-and-maintenance plan in place for equipment sustainability),
- hospitality costs, excluding alcoholic beverages
- installation, maintenance, shipping and/or transportation costs, including fuel, computers and communication devices
- lease or rental of vehicles
- legal costs
- medical costs

A massive car and truck collision in Coalinga, California, kills 17 people on this day in 1991. More than 100 vehicles were involved in the accident on Interstate 5, which was caused by a dust storm.
Interstate 5 runs north and south between Southern California and Northern California. On Saturday, November 29, there was considerable traffic on the highway as people were returning home after Thanksgiving. The area of the highway near Coalinga in the San Joaquin Valley is usually prime farmland. However, in 1991 many farmers had decided not to plant their fields because of severe drought conditions, leaving long stretches of dusty soil near the highway.
As the winds strengthened to nearly 40 miles per hour on November 29, dust swept over the highway, severely hampering visibility. Suddenly, a chain reaction of collisions developed over a mile-long stretch of the highway. One hundred and four vehicles, including 11 large trucks, were involved in the massive collision. It took hours for the rescuers to find all the victims in the continuing dust storm. Seventeen people lost their lives and 150 more suffered serious injuries. Meanwhile, thousands of people were trapped in their cars for the nearly an entire day until the highway could be cleared enough for traffic to pass.
The same stretch of highway was the scene of a similar, but smaller, incident in December 1978 when seven people died and 47 were injured in a large chain collision. Another storm in December 1977 caused residents to develop a flu-like respiratory infection, known as Valley Fever, from breathing in large quantities of dust.

Christian youth clubs
Three ways for parents to gain a better understanding of their youth's involvement
Church and home aren't the only places that help frame a child's faith formation. In many communities across the country, Christian student groups and after-school clubs also are factors that shape the growing faith of middleand high-school students.
Some parents applaud these groups — such as Young Life, WyldLife, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and others — as welcomed additions to their children's spiritual and social lives. These organizations can spark friendships, rekindle a youth's fledging interest in faith and provide a wider, more ecumenical view of Christian life.
But other moms or dads aren't as convinced. "Parents sometimes get concerned when their kids take an active interest in these groups because they don't really know what they're all about and what happens at their gatherings," said Ed Kay, who leads youth and family initiatives as an assistant to the bishop of the Delaware-Maryland Synod, which includes about 180 congregations and worshiping communities. "They're not so sure what their kids are going to learn and come home talking about."

Writing and Viewing User Activity Log Events
Writing and Viewing User Activity Log Events
You can write user activity log events to a file or display it in the command line when you use the infacmd isp getUserActivityLog command. Write the user activity log events to the format based on how you plan to use the exported log events file.
Writing and Viewing Log Files
To write the user activity log events to a file, run the command with the output file parameter -lo:
-lo output_file_name
If you do not specify an output format, the command writes the log events to a text file. For example, run the following command to write log events to a file named log.txt:
infacmd isp getUserActivityLog -dn TestDomain -un Administrator -pd Administrator -lo log.txt
To specify an output format, run the command with the format parameter -fm:
-fm output_format_BIN_TEXT_XML
Valid formats include:
 - Bin (binary). Use binary format to back up the log events in binary format. You might need to use this format to send log events to Informatica Global Customer Support
 - Text. Use text format if you want to analyze the log events in a text editor.
 - XML. Use XML format if you want to analyze log events in an external tool that uses XML or if you want to use XML tools, such as XSLT.
If you specify text or XML as the output format, but you do not specify an output file, the command displays the text or XML log on the command line.
If you specify binary as the output format, you must provide an output file name.
For example, run the following command to print log events to a file named log.xml:
infacmd isp getUserActivityLog -dn TestDomain -un Administrator -pd Administrator -fm xml -lo log.xml
Converting Log Files
If you use the getUserActivity command to write log events to a binary file, you can convert the file to text or XML format.
Run the following command to convert a binary log you retrieved to text or XML format:
infacmd isp convertUserActivityLogFile -in BIN_input_file_name -fm output_format_TEXT_XML -lo output_file_name
For example, run the following command to convert a binary input file named log.bin to XML format and output it to a file named convertedLog.xml:
infacmd isp convertUserActivityLogFile -in log.bin -fm XML -lo convertedLog.xml
To display the log on the command line, omit the output file name.
If you omit the format, the command uses the text format.

Preliminary factions and storyline
1. Alpha Centauri Factions
2. Mars Edition Factions
3. Preliminary Storyline
In Alpha Centauri, there are seven different factions:
For Alpha Centauri: Mars Edition, obviously the factions will have to be significantly different so as to provide players with a new game experience. Unfortunately, as Alpha Centauri has many elements similar to the Mars Edition, it is difficult to produce different factions. What I have done here is to create new factions which reflect the fact that colonists on Mars will still have to consider Earth (unlike Alpha Centauri). So, here are the seven.
Two Worlds Party:
The Two Worlds, One People Party (motto: Duos Orbis Terrarum, Una Gens). Dedicated to preserving and cementing relations between Earth and Mars for the benefit of the human race as a whole. Funded by the United Nations. Serve as peacekeepers, but also see themselves as the 'authority' of Earth on Mars. What they do may not always be in the best interests of Mars.
The Biogeneticists are a group of scientists who, on Mars, are working towards a society where biotechnology can solve humanity's problems. They are integral in the terraforming process, and can build stunning bioweapons and machines. They have no clear political aims, as yet, but merely want to get on with their research - however, they are conscious of the need to cure mankinds woes (e.g., new forms of gene therapy, cure for cancer, etc)
Prometheus Group:
The Prometheus Group's main aim is bringing life to Mars. Their ethos is that as they are humans, they have a responsibility of bringing life to the universe - panspermia. Thus, they very strongly for terraforming, and will try to initiate it as soon as possible, with as many factions as possible. They will very vigorously defend their terraforming project - to hinder it would be to hinder life itself. The Prometheus Group has support from various factions, as they will see terraforming as a way to increase profits, happiness, etc.
The Preservationists are the opposite number of the Prometheus Group - they believe that the universe has an intrinsic value which should not be disturbed. Altering this value will mar creation and nature, something which has already occurred on Earth. They will take action against anyone who goes against this. Some factions may aid the Preservationists, but in an 'undercover' way.
Ares Foundation:
Isolationists. They don't want to have anything to do with Earth, and don't want to become embroiled in their problems. They've mastered Martian technology, and can live undercover, very efficiently, very easily. Any attempt of Earth to impose order on Mars, and thus drag them down into the mess that is Earth will be met with force by the Ares Foundation. They are not necessarily always hostile to the Two Worlds party, but they will always act in the best interests of Mars, and themselves. A very tightly knit group, hard to penetrate with spies.
TriNational Consortium:
This faction, halfway through the game, splinters into two separate factions. However, at the start, they are a consortium of the most powerful metanationals whose main aim is the material exploitation of Mars. Whether terraforming features in their plans depends on whether they think they can make money out of it. When conditions deteriorate on Earth, the metanationals merge into half a dozen ultranationals and MarsCorp and TerraStar are two of them.
A Martian based company which is separate from TerraStar, and will be extremely competitive with it. It views Mars with more appreciation of it's value for terraformation, but will still try to make money.
A Earth based company which is the voice of the metanationals back on Earth. They have immense financial resources, and feel that Earth's interests come before Mars. They won't stop at buying out other factions for their support.
Faction sympathies:
These are the factions which are most sympathetic to Mars (in order): Ares Foundation, Preservationists, Prometheus Group, Biogeneticists, MarsCorp, Two Worlds, TerraStar. The opposite is true for Earth.
These are the factions which are most sympathetic to terraformation (in order): Prometheus Group, Biogeneticists, Ares Foundation, Two Worlds, MarsCorp, TerraStar, Preservationists.
I have to stress that these are only suggestions for possible factions. I believe that these seven would create an interesting, involving game, and that they are also quite balanced. I'm open to suggestions to different faction names, or even for completely different factions.
Preliminary Storyline: (bear in mind this is only a very rough draft of the storyline)
In 2010, the first settlements are established on Mars by a NASA-led consortium. Slowly, the process of building a colony is underway, and by 2030, a self-sufficient colony of 150 people is established. Meanwhile, other groups have been landing on Mars in different locations, namely the TriNational Consortium and members of the yet-to-be-formed Ares Foundation. By 2040, the Ares Foundation has been founded, and declared its aims to the United Nations. NASA's colony has expanded into 500 people and they've begun development of several manufacturing plants and an off-shoot colony. This colony becomes the headquarters for the Two Worlds faction.
An internal dispute in the Two Worlds faction leads to the creation of the Biogeneticists, who were conducting unauthorised experiments of genetically engineered microbes on the surface. A large number of those in the Two Worlds faction sympathise with what the Biogeneticists were doing, and so make off with supplies to create their own colony - they are the Prometheus Group.
The Prometheus Group immediately forms an alliance with the new Biogeneticist base to perform terraforming measures. The Two Worlds faction wants to wait for some time to gather readings and research on Mars before the world is irrevocably altered, and so orders the Prometheus Group to cease its actions. The Prometheus Group refuses, stating their aims, and the Two Worlds faction chooses to ignore this.
In anger at the inaction of the Two Worlds faction, a small group of dissidents form the Preservationists. Once they have set up a small hidden base, they quickly sabotage the Prometheus Group and the Biogeneticists terraforming factories. The Prometheus Group and Biogeneticists respond by increasing security highly and begin production of 'defensive weaponary' to protect their assets.
(this is when the player enters the game)
While this is happening, the TriNational Consortium is slowly building up their factories and exporting helium3 fuel back to Earth. They make a neat profit, and so enlargen their operations. The Preservationists see this as altering Mars itself, and so, by the actions of a splinter group, destroy several factories of the TriNational Consortium killing several people in the process. The TriNational Consortium, Prometheus Group and Biogeneticists say they will not stand by in the face of such aggression and announce they will actively search and imprison any Preservationists.
After the discovery, imprisonment and subsequent (and partly accidental) deaths of twenty Preservationists, the Two Worlds faction, using the might of the authority of Earth impose authority on Mars.
The Ares Foundation, which had been quite quiet up until then, respond to the Two Worlds faction by saying that they will not take orders from Earth and will actively try to sever any links from Earth to Mars. The Ares Foundation had been busy perfecting their technologies and reveal themselves to have several bases and large stockpiles of weaponary. They will not brook any kind of oppression from Earth.
Back on Earth, conditions are disintegrating. The cumulative effect of the ever-widening ozone layer and failure of countries to reduce their CO2 emissions has resulted in wild climate conditions, effects of which include droughts in western USA and frequent flooding of coastal areas. The Two Worlds faction, which up until then had been mediators in the growing conflict on Mars are forced by Earth to impose an authority geared towards helping Earth on Mars. Military shipments are increased to enforce martial law.
The Ares Foundation and the Preservationists form an uneasy alliance to oppose the Two Worlds rule. The TriNational consortium is undergoing serious trouble following the unrest back on Earth, and splits into the two factions TerraStar and MarsCorp. TerraStar moves to support Two Worlds, supplying manufacturing hardware and weapons, while MarsCorp serves the interests of the Ares Foundation. Both companies enjoy the defense of their respective partners.
The Prometheus Group and Biogeneticists take a fairly neutral stance in these proceedings, but the Prometheus Group tends to veer towards the Ares Foundation, since they feel that back on Earth, they've been destroying life for simple capital gains (i.e., much against the PG's ideals). The Biogeneticists however feel that their technology could aid Earth in it's time of strife, and so veer towards the Two Worlds. The two factions subsequently break of diplomatic relations to pursue their own forms of terraforming...
I feel that this storyline would be best depicted in a novella format, which gives all the different views of the leaders of the factions. For example, it could include messages between faction leaders, news articles, viewpoints of various 'citizens', the viewpoint from Earth, etc. If anyone here has read the novella for Elite 2: Frontier, you'll know what I'm talking about. Basically, a free-roaming narrative which gives readers the viewpoints of everyone involved.

SI (System Services Interface)
 The -ssi switch allows the passing of parameters to various SSI modules. LAM's SSI modules are described in detail in lamssi(7). SSI
 modules have direct impact on MPI programs because they allow tunable
 parameters to be set at run time (such as which RPI communication device driver to use, what parameters to pass to that RPI, etc.).
 The -ssi switch takes two arguments: and . The argument generally specifies which SSI module will receive the value.
 For example, the "rpi" is used to select which RPI to be used for
 passed. For example:
 mpirun -ssi rpi lamd N foo
 Tells LAM to use the "lamd" RPI and to run a single copy of "foo"
 on every node.
 mpirun -ssi rpi tcp N foo
 Tells LAM to use the "tcp" RPI.
 mpirun -ssi rpi sysv N foo
 Tells LAM to use the "sysv" RPI.
 And so on. LAM's RPI SSI modules are described in lamssi_rpi(7).
 The -ssi switch can be used multiple times to specify different
 Note that the -ssi switch is simply a shortcut for setting environment
 variables. The same effect may be accomplished by setting correspondronment variables that LAM sets are: LAM_MPI_SSI_=.
 Note that the -ssi switch overrides any previously set environment
 variables. Also note that unknown arguments are still set as environment variable -- they are not checked (by mpirun) for correctness.
 Illegal or incorrect arguments may or may not be reported -- it
 depends on the specific SSI module.
 The -ssi switch obsoletes the old -c2c and -lamd switches. These
 switches used to be relevant because LAM could only have two RPI's
 available at a time: the lamd RPI and one of the C2C RPIs. This is no
 longer true -- all RPI's are now available and choosable at run-time.
 Selecting the lamd RPI is shown in the examples above. The -c2c switch
 has no direct translation since "C2C" used to refer to all other RPI's
 that were not the lamd RPI. As such, -ssi rpi must be used to
 select the specific desired RPI (whether it is "lamd" or one of the
 other RPI's).
 Guaranteed Envelope Resources
 By default, LAM will guarantee a minimum amount of message envelope
 buffering to each MPI process pair and will impede or report an error
 to a process that attempts to overflow this system resource. This robustness and debugging feature is implemented in a machine specific
 manner when direct communication is used. For normal LAM communication
 via the LAM daemon, a protocol is used. The -nger option disables GER
 and the measures taken to support it. The minimum GER is configured by
 the system administrator when LAM is installed. See MPI(7) for more
 mpirun N prog1
 Load and execute prog1 on all nodes. Search the user's $PATH for
 the executable file on each node.
 mpirun -c 8 prog1
 Run 8 copies of prog1 wherever LAM wants to run them.
 mpirun n8-10 -v -nw -s n3 prog1 -q
 Load and execute prog1 on nodes 8, 9, and 10. Search for prog1 on
 node 3 and transfer it to the three target nodes. Report as each
 process is created. Give "-q" as a command line to each new process. Do not wait for the processes to complete before exiting
 mpirun -v myapp
 Parse the application schema, myapp, and start all processes specified in it. Report as each process is created.
 mpirun -npty -wd /work/output -x DISPLAY C my_application
 Start one copy of "my_application" on each available CPU. The number of available CPUs on each node was previously specified when
 LAM was booted with lamboot(1). As noted above, mpirun will schedule adjoining rank in MPI_COMM_WORLD on the same node where possible. For example, if n0 has a CPU count of 8, and n1 has a CPU
 count of 4, mpirun will place MPI_COMM_WORLD ranks 0 through 7 on
 n0, and 8 through 11 on n1. This tends to maximize on-node communication for many parallel applications; when used in conjunction
 with the multi-protocol network/shared memory RPIs in LAM (see the
 RELEASE_NOTES and INSTALL files with the LAM distribution), overall
 communication performance can be quite good. Also disable pseudotty support, change directory to /work/output, and export the DISPLAY variable to the new processes (perhaps my_application will invoke an X application such as xv to display output).
 mpirun: Exec format error
 A non-ASCII character was detected in the application schema. This
 is usually a command line usage error where mpirun is expecting an
 application schema and an executable file was given.
 mpirun: syntax error in application schema, line XXX
 The application schema cannot be parsed because of a usage or syntax error on the given line in the file.
 : No such file or directory
 This error can occur in two cases. Either the named file cannot be
 located or it has been found but the user does not have sufficient
 permissions to execute the program or read the application schema.
 mpirun returns 0 if all ranks started by mpirun exit after calling
 MPI_FINALIZE. A non-zero value is returned if an internal error occurred in mpirun, or one or more ranks exited before calling MPI_FINALIZE. If an internal error occurred in mpirun, the corresponding error
 code is returned. In the event that one or more ranks exit before
 calling MPI_FINALIZE, the return value of the rank of the process that
 mpirun first notices died before calling MPI_FINALIZE will be returned.
 Note that, in general, this will be the first rank that died but is not
 guaranteed to be so.
 However, note that if the -nw switch is used, the return value from
 mpirun does not indicate the exit status of the ranks.
